Short filmTranscript
00:00Pia returns, Petra is dying and Kuro suffers.
00:09Episode 692 of The Promise, which will air on Wednesday, October 8, is full of drama, tension and decisions on the edge.
00:22While Petra is between life and death, Samuel embarks on a race against time to get an anti-tetanus serum that could save her.
00:30Amidst the chaos, Martina tries to stay calm by taking care of Catalina's children, although her dedication causes friction with Jacobo.
00:44Pia, who has just returned to the palace, must face cold looks and uncomfortable silences, but manages to regain her position as housekeeper and witness an unexpected gesture of reconciliation from Cristobal.
01:00Kuro, on the other hand, is consumed by watching Angelus slip through his fingers while Manuel decides to make a statement and uncover Anora's lie to Tonio.
01:14An episode where hope, betrayal and love are intertwined at the heart of The Promise.
01:19The air in The Promise had become thick, almost unbreathable.
01:27It clung to the skin like the dampness of an autumn morning, but instead of freshness it brought with it the metallic stench of fear.
01:34The silence that reigned in the corridors was not one of peace, but of restraint.
01:43A heavy, expectant silence, like that which precedes the bursting of a dam.
01:47Each tick of the wall clock in the great hall felt like a hammer blow to the anvil of fate, forging an uncertain future for one of its oldest and most controversial inhabitants.
02:05Petra Arcos struggled between life and death.
02:08In the service room for the sick, the atmosphere was even more oppressive.
02:12The light filtering through the small window seemed reluctant to enter, drawing a pale rectangle on the cold tiled floor that did not quite touch the bed.
02:30There sat Petra, her face, normally a mask of rigidity and disdain.
02:35Now it was stripped of all its armor.
02:42Her skin had the cerulean pallor of watered-down milk, flecked with a feverish sweat that beaded her forehead and temples.
02:53Her lips, usually pressed into a thin line of disapproval, were now parted, dry and cracked, emitting erratic, shallow breathing that was the only sound of life in her deathly stillness.
03:03The doctor of the Hearns had left barely an hour ago and his words still hung in the room like specters.
03:21Tedanus had been pronounced and the word had fallen on those present with the weight of a tombstone.
03:25A terrible infection contracted through a minor cut on a rusty wire in the garden too many days ago.
03:38An incident that Petra and her pride had ignored and hidden.
03:41Now the toxin coursed through her veins, seizing her muscles, threatening to paralyze her heart.
03:56Her condition is critical, the doctor had added, with the professional gravity of someone who has seen death win too many battles.
04:03Without the specific anti-tetanous serum administered immediately, her chances are.
04:17Slim.
04:18Around the bed, the small group that kept vigil processed the sentence in their own way.
04:23Pia Adair, recently reinstated in her duties but with her soul still bruised, watched the woman who had been her nemesis for years.
04:36She.
04:39Felt no triumph, not even bitter satisfaction.
04:43What she felt was an icy emptiness, the contemplation of human frailty in its rawest form.
04:48She saw Petra not as the harpy who had tormented her, but as a woman alone, fighting a losing battle in an anonymous bed.
05:05Romulo, the butler, stood by the door, his back straight, but his shoulders burdened with the weight of responsibility.
05:11Every labored breath Petra took was a reproach for her inability to protect her staff.
05:25She knew Petra had been with him for decades.
05:28He knew her deceit, her malice, but also her unwavering and often twisted loyalty to the Martianess.
05:33Seeing her like this, so vulnerable, caused him profound unease.
05:42But it was Samuel, the young master, who seemed most affected.
05:50He was cornered in the shadows, his fists clenched and a storm in his eyes.
05:59Guilt nodded at him. He had been there when Petra had cut herself.
06:03She had minimized the wound and he, absorbed in his own problems, had not given it much importance.
06:13Now, every gasp from Petra was a direct accusation.
06:17Elizzy was a relentless torture in his mind.
06:23What if he had insisted that she see a doctor and if he had cleaned the wound himself?
06:27The doctor had mentioned in passing that the only serum available, an experimental but potent batch,
06:37brought from Germany, was in the military dispensary in Cordoba hours away.
06:46An impossible journey in the time they had left.
06:48It was a death sentence disguised as medical information.
06:56It was at that moment that collective despair as something snapped inside Samuel.
07:00Inaction became a poison he could no longer swallow.
07:08He could not stand there and watch a woman's life snuffed out by his negligence.
07:12He stormed out of the room with such abrupt determination that Romulo and Pi flinched.
07:26Sir Samuel, where are you going?
07:30Romulo asked in a hoarse voice.
07:32Samuel turned and his face held an intensity they had never seen before.
07:35I will not stand here and watch her die, he said, his voice tense, vibrating with feverish energy.
07:49The doctor said there is a serum in Cordoba.
07:51Well, I will go to Cordoba to get it.
07:54But, sir, that is madness, Pia intervened, coming closer.
07:57It is a round trip of almost a day, even with the best horse.
08:07The doctor said he needs the serum immediately, in a matter of hours.
08:16Then I will not use a horse, Samuel replied, his mind working at breakneck speed.
08:20I will use the marquise's car.
08:27Impossible, exclaimed Romulo.
08:30The marquis would never authorize it, much.
08:36Lest to save a member of the service.
08:38It sounds cruel, but it's the truth.
08:44Well, I won't ask for permission, Samuel said with a rebellious spark in his eyes.
08:50I'd rather face my uncle's wrath than the death of a person because of my cowardice.
09:02Romulo, I need the keys and I need you to cover me.
09:05Make something up.
09:06Say I had a family emergency in Lujan.
09:12Anything, quote.
09:14Romulo stared at him, seeing in the young man's eyes not the recklessness of youth,
09:18but a deep need for redemption.
09:20He
09:22saw a man willing to defy all conventions to do the right thing.
09:33And at that moment the butler made a decision.
09:36He nodded slowly.
09:38The keys are in my office.
09:43And the gasoline.
09:44I'll check the tank.
09:45Godspeed, Mr. Samuel, and may speed be your ally.
09:50Quote.
09:54As Samuel embarked on his mission against the clock, life in the rest of the palace tried
09:59to continue its course, although tension seeped through every crack, soured the atmosphere.
10:08On the main floor, the drama had a very different tone, one centered on care and control.
10:13Martina, her heart heavy with the absence of her cousin Catalina and the responsibility that had been bequeathed to her,
10:24had thrown herself body and soul into caring for the children.
10:27The little ones, oblivious to the tragedies of the adults but sensitive to the charged atmosphere, were more restless than usual.
10:39Martina had turned the playroom into a refuge, a realm of fantasy to isolate them from the shadow that loomed over the promise.
10:56Louder, Aunt Martina, louder, the little boy shouted as she rocked him on her knees, imitating the trot of a horse.
11:02Be careful, this steed is very fierce and we're going to fall into a pit full of chocolate dragons.
11:13Martina laughed as she tickled him, and the boy's laughter was a bomb in the midst of so much anguish.
11:19She
11:19Read them stories in exaggerated voices.
11:25She built castles with cushions that they would then knock down in a pitched pillow fight,
11:29and she made sure their meals were a game, cutting the fruit into the shapes of stars and ships.
11:36She
11:36tried to make up for her mother's absence, not only with care, but with a joy and dedication that sprang from her genuine love for them and her cousin.
11:49It
11:49was in the middle of one of these games, while pretending to be a monster chasing the laughing children down the hallway,
11:58that Jacobo appeared.
12:05Stopping dead in his tracks with a serious face and an eyebrow raised in disapproval.
12:12The game was over, interrupted her instantly.
12:16The children's laughter died down, replaced by a sudden shyness before their uncle's austere figure.
12:20Martina, what the hell is this scandal?
12:28His voice was cold, cutting.
12:30This feels more like a madhouse than the home of the Marquises of Lujan.
12:38Martina straightened up, trying to control the irritation that was rising up her neck like a red tide.
12:43Martina, we were just playing, Jacobo.
12:51Children need distraction, they sense that something is happening.
12:57What they need is discipline and routine, not for you to spoil them with this chaos, he replied, coming closer.
13:03His gaze swept over the scene.
13:11Cushions on the floor, an open book face down, a half-eaten piece of cookie on a small table.
13:20Catalina would never allow this disorder.
13:23She was strict, but fair.
13:25You are turning them into little savages.
13:27The comparison with Catalina was like a slap in the face.
13:35Don't you dare tell me how Catalina would raise her children.
13:38Martina snapped, lowering her voice so that the children would not hear her.
13:42Heard, but filled with contained fury.
13:48You have no idea.
13:50Catalina gave them love and freedom.
13:52She didn't keep them in a gilded cage as you seem to claim.
13:57I only care about their education and well-being, and this behavior is not beneficial to them.
14:09They should be studying or at least doing some quiet and edifying activity.
14:17Not rolling around on the floor like animals.
14:20They are children, Jacobo, children who miss their mother.
14:23Don't you have an ounce of empathy in your body or is your heart as stiff as your starch collar?
14:33Sparks flew between them.
14:36Two worldviews, two ways of understanding grief and responsibility, colliding in the narrow hallway.
14:41Jacobo saw in Martina's attitude a chaos that threatened the order he worked so hard to maintain.
14:54Martina saw in Jacobo's rigidity an insensitive cruelty that ignored the emotional needs of two wounded children.
15:00My heart is none of your business, he said through clenched jaw.
15:10But these children are.
15:15And while Catalina is gone, I also have a say in their upbringing.
15:19And I demand that you moderate these.
15:21Displays.
15:26From now on there will be schedules, study hours, hours of silent play, and hours of rest.
15:35And they will be observed.
15:37Quote.
15:37He turned and walked away, leaving Martina trembling with rage and frustration,
15:43with the two children looking at her with wide, frightened eyes,
15:46having understood, without understanding the words, that joy had been outlawed.
15:53Meanwhile, in the servants' areas, another return was causing its own waves of tension.
16:02Piedere was officially the housekeeper of the promise once again.
16:07However, the position they were taking back was not the same one she had left.
16:18The shadow of Ricardo, the butler of Spoda,
16:21and her own absence had left scars on the staff and on the dynamics of the house.
16:31Her first encounter with Santos, the footman who had prospered under Ricardo's regime,
16:36was a clear example of this.
16:37She found him in the pantry calmly rearranging some cans.
16:45Deliberate.
16:51Santos, Pia said in a firm but calm voice.
16:54I need you to prepare a tray with broth and fresh water for Mrs. Petra.
16:58And to tell Maria Fernandez to change her sheets.
17:06Santos turned slowly, an insolent smile on his lips.
17:14He didn't say anything, he simply looked her up and down,
17:17as if assessing whether her authority was real or a farce.
17:20Did you?
17:24Hear what I said?
17:26Pia insisted, feeling her patience beginning to wear thin.
17:29I heard you perfectly, Mrs. Adair, he replied, drawing out the word,
17:37Senora, with a hint of mockery.
17:39I was just wondering if the orders now come directly from you or if they still have to go through the filter of Mr. Cristobal.
17:49I wouldn't want to commit a fault.
17:56The venom in his words was evident.
17:59It was veiled in subordination, a direct challenge to his newly regained power.
18:03Pia held his gaze, her eyes dark as steel.
18:11The orders come from me, Santos.
18:17And remember that I am the housekeeper.
18:19That would be a fault.
18:21Precisely not to obey them immediately.
18:27Now do as I have asked.
18:30Santos kept smiling for a second longer,
18:32as if measuring how far he could pull the string.
18:38Finally he seemed to decide that now was not the time.
18:41He dropped the can in his hand with a sharp thud and walked away without another word.
18:46But his erect back and arrogant gait screamed of the battle he had just declared against him.
18:54The next obstacle was even greater.
18:56Christopher Caliguri.
18:58Pia was summoned to his office,
19:00the same place where Ricardo had meted out his reign of terror.
19:07The air still seemed stale with his presence.
19:11Christopher stood, looking out the window with his back to her.
19:14Pia, he said without turning around.
19:21I am glad you have agreed to return to your post.
19:23The sentence was formal, proper, but lacking in warm.
19:27It was the statement of an employer to an employee,
19:34not the greeting to a woman who had suffered an ordeal and returned to the only home she knew.
19:38I had nowhere else to go, young master, she replied sincerely, standing in the center of the room, feeling small and inspected.
19:50Christopher finally turned, his face was a mask of impassivity, but his eyes studied her with a coldness that chilled her.
20:03Ricardo's management was poor for being generous, he began.
20:11He left the service in a sorry state.
20:14There is resentment, disorganization.
20:20His departure was a disgrace, but also in a way an opportunity to start over.
20:25I trust that you can restore the order that always characterized the promise.
20:33Quote
20:33Every word was a silent reproach.
20:41You left.
20:42You abandoned us.
20:43You are responsible for the chaos that followed.
20:50Pia felt the need to defend herself, to shout that she had left because her life was in danger.
20:55Because Ricardo had threatened.
21:01But he knew it would be useless.
21:03In front of men like Cristobal, a maid's justifications were just excuses.
21:12I will do everything in my power, sir.
21:16He said in a firm voice despite the nod in his stomach.
21:18Well, that's what I expected, he said, walking towards his desk.
21:27Your first task will be to normalize the situation.
21:30The staff is tense.
21:36They need clear direction.
21:38Pia saw her opportunity.
21:39It was a gamble, but she had to take it.
21:41If you'll allow me, sir, I think I know where to start, she said, stepping forward.
21:50The system of faults that Don Ricardo established is a constant source of fear and resentment among the staff.
22:06People work with the anguish of making a mistake and that makes them make more.
22:09It doesn't foster efficiency, only resentment.
22:18Cristobal looked up from his papers, surprised by his audacity.
22:21And what do you propose, anarchy?
22:28That everyone does what they want without fear of the consequences.
22:36No, sir, I propose returning to the old system, to trust and responsibility.
22:44To correct mistakes with a fair reprimand, not with a financial punishment that can leave a family without food.
22:51The loyalty of the service is not bought with fear, it is earned with respect.
22:58There was a long silence.
23:05Cristobal drummed his fingers on the table, weighing his words.
23:09Pia held her breath.
23:13She knew that much was at stake.
23:16He could interpret it as insolence and put her in her place from day one.
23:21But to her surprise, Cristobal nodded slightly.
23:27It makes sense.
23:28He agreed in a voice that sounded almost human.
23:35Fear is a bad advisor.
23:37Okay, Pia, the system of faults is eliminated.
23:40Communicate it to the rest of the service, but let it be clear, this is not an invitation to debauchery.
23:54I expect a firm hand from you when necessary.
23:57I will be firm, but fair as always, she assured me.
24:01I hope so, you may leave.
24:08Pia left the office with a bittersweet feeling.
24:11She had won an important battle, a small glimmer of hope for the staff.
24:14But Cristobal's coldness, that the unbridgeable distance between them had left a taste of ashen flavor in his mouth.
24:29Their return was not going to be a bed of roses.
24:32It was more like a climb up a hill full of thorns.
24:35Far from the intrigues of power, in the misty gardens of promise a much more silent and painful battle was being fought, that of the heart.
24:52Kuro was experiencing the agony of seeing the love of his life slip through his fingers like fine sand.
24:57Angela, the sweet and enigmatic maiden who had illuminated his world, had become an elusive shadow.
25:12He avoided her.
25:13It wasn't an impression, it was a fact.
25:16If he entered a room, she would find an excuse to leave.
25:24If their eyes met in a hallway, she would push him away immediately.
25:27As if eye contact burned her.
25:33He had tried to talk to her over and over again, but he always met with a wall of evasions.
25:42I can't now, Kuro.
25:44I have to take this to Miss Martina.
25:47Excuse me, Mrs. Pia is calling me.
25:53I'm very busy.
25:54That afternoon that he saw her by the hedge maze picking flowers for a vase in the house.
26:04His heart skipped a beat.
26:06She was alone.
26:07This was his chance.
26:09He approached her, his heart pounding in his chest.
26:11Angela, he said in the softest voice he could muster.
26:19She started, almost dropping the flowers.
26:23She
26:23turned around and for an instant Kuro saw in her eyes the reflection of the girl he had fallen in love with.
26:32A warm, light-filled gaze.
26:38But it was only for an instant.
26:41The light went out, replaced by an expression of nervousness and distance.
26:45Sir Kuro, she said, bowing slightly.
26:52Do you need anything?
26:57The young master was like a stab.
27:00She never called him that when they were alone.
27:03It had
27:04always been Kuro.
27:07I need to talk to you, he said, ignoring the formality.
27:16Please, just five minutes.
27:19She looked around as if afraid someone would see them.
27:24I don't think that's a good idea, young master.
27:29Enough, he exclaimed, unable to bear it any longer.
27:32The pain overflowed from his voice.
27:38What have I done to you, Angela?
27:40Why do you treat me like a stranger?
27:42Why do you run away from me?
27:43A few weeks ago you told me you loved me and now.
27:50Now you can't even look me in the eyes.
27:53Tell me what's wrong.
27:54I beg you, if I've done anything to offend you,
27:56tell me and I'll beg your forgiveness on my knees if necessary.
28:02But don't torture me with this silence.
28:06His words, full of sincere desperation,
28:09seemed to have an effect on her.
28:15She saw his eyes fill with tears that he struggled to hold back.
28:19His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something,
28:22as if a confession was struggling to come out.
28:28You haven't done anything, Kuro,
28:30she whispered in a broken voice.
28:33The problem isn't you, it's...
28:38Me.
28:39So what's the problem?
28:41Whatever it is, we can face it together.
28:44I love you, Angela.
28:47I love you more than my own life.
28:50I would do anything for you.
28:52She shook her head and a single tear rolled down her cheek.
28:55You.
29:00Can't.
29:01No one can, she said with desolate finality.
29:05What's ours?
29:06What's ours is impossible.
29:07Kuro.
29:07You have to forget about me.
29:13It will be better for both of us.
29:14Quote.
29:15No, he replied, trying to take her hand,
29:18but she pulled it away as if his touch burned her.
29:20Don't ask me to do that.
29:25I can't forget you.
29:26I don't want to.
29:27Give me a reason.
29:28Just one reason.
29:29Quote.
29:30Angela looked at him,
29:31and there was an abyss of sadness in her gaze.
29:33There are things that can't be told.
29:39Secrets that are better left buried, she whispered.
29:47Please, Kuro, don't make this any harder.
29:49Get away from me.
29:51And without saying anything else,
29:53she turned and ran toward the house,
29:55leaving Kuro alone in the garden.
29:57His heart shattered and the echo of her words
29:59resonating in his head.
30:04What secrets?
30:06He wondered as the pain turned into a cold knot in his stomach.
30:13What could be so terrible is to destroy the love they had for each other.
30:18Helplessness and despair flooded him,
30:20and for the first time he felt that he had lost Angela forever.
30:28While some hearts were breaking,
30:30others were trying to build themselves on foundations of hope
30:33and, unknowingly, deception.
30:39Tonyo, the chauffeur,
30:41was living in a haze of happiness.
30:43He was hopelessly in love with Anora,
30:45the French maid whose beauty and charm
30:47had captivated him from the very first day.
30:49To him, she was perfect, elegant, intelligent, and fun.
31:00Their future together was a blank canvas
31:02that he had already begun to paint
31:04with the brightest colors of his imagination.
31:05He found her in the kitchen
31:12helping Lope with the preparations for dinner.
31:15He waited patiently until she finished her task
31:17and when she went out into the patio to get some air,
31:20he intercepted her with a smile
31:22that lit up his entire face.
31:23Anora mon amour, he said,
31:30using one of the few French words he had learned to impress her.
31:33You are more beautiful than ever tonight.
31:40She smiled at him.
31:42A practiced smile, charming,
31:44but it did not quite reach her eyes.
31:50Tonyo, always so gallant,
31:52what fly has bitten you?
31:54The fly of love, Anora.
31:56The fly of impatience, he said,
31:59taking her hands.
32:05I've been thinking,
32:06we've been together for a while now
32:07and I've never been more certain
32:08of anything in my entire life.
32:14I love you, Anora,
32:16and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
32:19Anora's face tightened almost imperceptibly.
32:21I love you too, Tonyo.
32:27I know it,
32:28and that's why I think the time has come.
32:30He continued,
32:31excitement vibrating in his voice.
32:37We should set a wedding date.
32:40Let's set a time.
32:41I want to shout from the rooftops
32:42that you're going to be my wife.
32:48I want everyone to know.
32:49We can start looking at churches,
32:52making plans.
32:57Nora's smile became a little more forced.
33:00She gently let go of Tonyo's hands
33:01and stepped back,
33:02adopting an air of false solemnity.
33:09Oh, Tonyo, my love,
33:11nothing could make me happier.
33:13But do you think this is the right time?
33:15I don't know.
33:19Why wouldn't I?
33:21He asked, confused.
33:24Well, with everything that's going on in the house,
33:26she said with a studied expression of concern.
33:33Mrs. Petra being so sick,
33:35the absence of the gentleman,
33:37the tension.
33:38I wouldn't think it would be respectful
33:40to start celebrating a wedding
33:41under these circumstances.
33:42It would be a breach of decorum.
33:49The rules of the engagement
33:50are very strict regarding
33:51mourning and discretion,
33:52as you know.
33:57Tonyo frowned.
33:59The excuse was plausible,
34:01but something inside him told him
34:02it was just that,
34:03an excuse.
34:04But now,
34:09this could last months.
34:11We can't put our lives on hold
34:13because of the gentleman's problems.
34:19Our happiness also matters, right?
34:22Of course it does.
34:23Quote,
34:24My life is what matters most to me,
34:26she said,
34:27leaning closer again
34:28and caressing his cheek.
34:29And that's precisely why
34:35I want our wedding to be perfect,
34:37without shadows,
34:38without worries.
34:43A moment of joy for everyone.
34:45I only ask for a little patience.
34:47Let's wait until the waters calm down.
34:50Will?
34:52You do it for me?
34:54Her voice was a seductive whisper.
34:57Her eyes looked at him
34:58with a calculated intensity.
35:03Antonio,
35:04as always,
35:05melted away.
35:06The doubt that had begun to sprout
35:08in his chest dissolved
35:09before her caress.
35:14Of course,
35:15my love.
35:16For you,
35:17whatever it takes.
35:18He said resignedly.
35:20I'll wait,
35:21but not too much,
35:22okay?
35:22Quote.
35:26Not too much,
35:27she promised,
35:28giving him a quick kiss on the lips.
35:30Quote,
35:31I have to go back inside now.
35:36Pi is reorganizing everything
35:38and I don't want her to miss me.
35:40She left him there in the courtyard,
35:42his heart torn between excitement
35:43and a growing,
35:45uncomfortable feeling of uncertainty.
35:48He
35:48loved her,
35:52but he couldn't help but feel
35:54that there was always something in the way,
35:56an invisible barrier
35:56that she herself put up.
35:58Every time he tried to get too close
36:00to the real commitment.
36:01What Tonyo didn't know
36:07was that someone
36:07had witnessed the conversation.
36:10Manuel,
36:11who had gone out
36:11into the courtyard
36:12in search of respite
36:13from the oppressive atmosphere inside,
36:15had heard everything
36:16from the shadow of a column.
36:21And each evasive word
36:23from Anora
36:23had been like a hammer blow
36:24to his conscience.
36:26Manuel had been fighting
36:27with himself for days.
36:32Ever since he had discovered
36:33Anora's deception
36:34with the aerodrome plans,
36:36he felt like an accomplice
36:37to a cruel farce.
36:43He had seen
36:44how his friend Tonyo
36:45became deluded,
36:46how he built castles
36:47in the air
36:48with a woman
36:48who behind his back
36:49had proven to be a liar
36:50and a manipulator.
36:56Keeping him quiet
36:57weighed like a millstone.
36:59His loyalty to Tonyo
37:00was at war
37:01with the instinct
37:01not to get into trouble
37:02and not to cause pain
37:03that he knew
37:04would be immense.
37:09But hearing her lie again,
37:11using the rules
37:12of the promise
37:12as a shield
37:13to avoid a commitment
37:14that she clearly
37:15did not want,
37:16was the straw
37:16that broke the camel's back.
37:22He could no longer
37:23continue to be
37:24a silent spectator.
37:25He could not allow
37:26his friend
37:26to continue living
37:27in such a miserable deception.
37:33Friendship demanded
37:34the truth,
37:35no matter how painful.
37:37He made a decision.
37:38He waited for Anora
37:39to disappear
37:40and approach Tonyo,
37:41who continued
37:42to stare into space
37:43with a melancholy expression.
37:48Tonyo,
37:49can we talk for a moment?
37:50Manuel's voice was serious,
37:52devoid of its usual lightness.
37:54Tonyo was startled.
38:00Sir,
38:00of course,
38:01is something wrong?
38:02Yes,
38:03something is wrong,
38:04and I'm sorry
38:05to be the one
38:05to tell you.
38:10It's about Anora,
38:12quote.
38:13The mention of her name
38:14made Tonyo defensive.
38:19What's wrong with her?
38:21Manuel took a deep breath.
38:22There was no easy way
38:23to do it.
38:24Tonyo,
38:25we're friends,
38:26right?
38:26And friends owe each other
38:28the truth,
38:28even if it hurts.
38:30You're
38:31scaring me,
38:35sir.
38:35Get to the point.
38:37Anora lied to you,
38:38quote.
38:39Manuel blurted out bluntly,
38:40the words hung
38:46in the cold afternoon air.
38:47She lied to you
38:48about something
38:49very important.
38:53Tonyo looked at him
38:54incredulously.
38:55Then a nervous smile
38:56crossed his lips.
38:58This is a joke,
38:59it's not funny.
39:02It's
39:02not a joke at all.
39:06I wish it were,
39:07Manuel insisted,
39:08his gaze fixed on him,
39:10conveying the full
39:10seriousness of the situation.
39:17Do you remember
39:18the aerodrome plans
39:19that disappeared
39:19from my office
39:20and then mysteriously
39:21turned up?
39:26Yes,
39:27of course.
39:28You said
39:28you misplaced them.
39:30I didn't misplace them,
39:31someone stole them.
39:32And that person
39:37was right on time.
39:38Tonyo was left
39:39speechless.
39:40The accusation
39:41was so monstrous,
39:42so inconceivable,
39:43that his first reaction
39:44was furious denial.
39:50That's impossible.
39:51It's a lie.
39:52Why would she
39:53do something like that?
39:54She wouldn't
39:55hurt a fly.
39:56You're wrong.
39:57I'm not wrong,
40:02Tonyo.
40:03I saw her.
40:05Well,
40:05not directly,
40:06but I have proof.
40:08A crucial detail
40:08was missing
40:09from the plans
40:10that turned up,
40:10a detail that
40:11only someone
40:11who doesn't
40:12understand
40:12aeronautics
40:13would overlook.
40:14And I know
40:19she tried to
40:20sell them
40:20or at least
40:20get information
40:21from them.
40:23She's been
40:24using you
40:24and your trust.
40:30Manuel told her
40:31the whole story,
40:32the details
40:32of his trap,
40:33the conversation
40:34he had with her,
40:35how he had
40:35confronted her
40:36and how she,
40:37although she
40:37didn't openly
40:38admit it,
40:39gave herself away
40:39with her reaction.
40:44Every word
40:45was a crushing
40:46blow to Tonyo.
40:47His face
40:48went from disbelief
40:49to anger
40:49and from anger
40:50to a deep,
40:51overwhelming desolation.
40:57The bright canvas
40:58of his future
40:58was cracking
40:59before his eyes,
41:00revealing the
41:01rotting fabric
41:01beneath.
41:06No,
41:07it can't be,
41:08he whispered,
41:09more to himself
41:10than to Manuel.
41:11Honora's evasiveness
41:12about the wedding,
41:13her reluctance,
41:14everything was
41:15starting to come
41:15together in a
41:16horrible,
41:17painful way.
41:21She loves me,
41:22Tonyo,
41:23I'm sorry.
41:24I really am,
41:25Manuel said,
41:26putting a hand
41:27on his shoulder.
41:32I know
41:33this is terrible,
41:34but I couldn't
41:35let you continue
41:35living in this
41:36deception.
41:39You deserve better.
41:42You deserve
41:42someone who
41:43truly loves you.
41:44Tonyo didn't answer.
41:49He stood there,
41:51motionless as the truth
41:52tore through the layers
41:53of his love
41:53and his illusions,
41:55sweeping everything
41:55away in its path.
42:01The betrayal of the woman
42:03he loved,
42:03revealed by his best friend,
42:05was a slow-acting poison.
42:12He didn't scream,
42:14he didn't cry,
42:15he just stood there
42:15staring blankly
42:16as the world he had
42:17painstakingly built
42:18crumbled around him,
42:19piece by piece,
42:21leaving him alone
42:21in the ruins.
42:22The question hanging
42:28in the air,
42:29heavier than any words,
42:31was,
42:31what was he going
42:32to do now?
42:32was,
42:37he did I
42:38start.
42:38He did.
42:44He played
42:45in the air,
42:48he was,
42:49he said,
42:51he said,
42:54look on the air,
42:55look on the air,
42:56look at this surge,
42:58look on the air which
42:59will not be
