00:00I plan to notify my husband immediately; he will give her the punishment she deserves.
00:03Your husband? Of course, let's go see him.
00:05The idea of marrying me is so dreadful to her.
00:07No, Irene, that's not what I want.
00:09Every time I see the way he looks at Barbara, I feel a pang of pain.
00:13I can't change how I feel about him.
00:16Neither can you, nor Leonardo.
00:17None of the three of us can do anything.
00:19The reason I've called you here is to make it perfectly clear that this man is my personal secretary.
00:25Therefore, it is at my exclusive service.
00:28So no one but me can entrust him with any task, no matter how simple or trivial it may be.
00:33Not even you.
00:34All those letters that I have been receiving from my husband during all this time, I sent them myself.
00:39Just like that?
00:40Yes, yes, it is true that Don Eduardo has made all this more bearable for me.
00:45He seems like a very... attentive man.
00:49And polite.
00:49Have you bought Mercedes more gifts or is one enough for her?
00:53I knew it from the beginning.
00:54What did you know?
00:55Even though you reject me and avoid me, you still feel something for me.
00:59That's outrageous.
01:01From your unexpected fit of jealousy.
01:04The magistrate has asked me for a few more days before meeting with me.
01:08Father, Luisa doesn't have much time left.
01:09Maybe she doesn't have a few days.
01:11I know and I understand, but I'm not the one who sets the pace, son.
01:15I keep thinking that this might be the last time I've spoken to my sister and that I'm never going to see her again.
01:19Martin.
01:25Before they kill me in the town square, I prefer to take my own life.
01:30And I need your help.
01:36I'm so happy to see you.
01:38Me too, Matilde.
01:39You have no idea how much I've missed you.
01:40But you look so handsome.
01:42But can you tell me what you're doing here?
01:44When did you arrive?
01:45How many questions, Matilde?
01:46Which one do you want me to answer?
01:46To all.
01:47To all.
01:49Forgive me.
01:49Are you OK?
01:51Yes, sister.
01:52I'm fine.
01:54Did anyone see you arrive?
01:57Do you know, Doña Victoria, that you are here, Martín?
01:58This can be very dangerous.
01:59I'll answer everything now, Matilde.
02:01But first you have something to drink, because my throat is dry.
02:04Yes, yes.
02:04Sorry.
02:05I haven't offered you anything with enthusiasm.
02:08I'll bring you something right away to help you recover from your trip.
02:11Can you tell me what you're asking me, Luisa?
02:15There is no way out.
02:16Yes, there is.
02:18The trial has not yet taken place.
02:19There is still hope, Luisa.
02:20Ma'am, please try not to deceive yourself anymore, please.
02:23And don't deceive me anymore, because we both know that I have no way out.
02:27I am already condemned.
02:28I am sentenced to death.
02:30We have to keep fighting, Luisa.
02:31There's no fighting left.
02:34We can get you a good defense.
02:36Or get someone influential to speak for you.
02:39Who would want it?
02:39A simple maid will come to you.
02:41Look, I'm willing to talk to the king himself if necessary.
02:49I am grateful to life for the friendship it has given me.
03:01I am so lucky.
03:03Well then, let me help you.
03:05You know how.
03:06No, you're not asking me to help you.
03:08You're asking me to finish condemning you, Luisa.
03:10Madam, all I want is to face my destiny with dignity.
03:13And to have the power to decide how and when to die.
03:20Only you can do it.
03:21Can't you ask me for that?
03:24Well, she's the only one I can ask.
03:26Well, I can't do it.
03:29I don't want my death to become a macabre spectacle.
03:34I don't want my family, you, Alejo, or my son to see me die in that town square.
03:39Madam, give me some poison, something, to end this torture, please.
03:43Luisa, I fear that so much pain has made you lose your mind.
03:46I've never been more sane.
03:47No, because if you were, you would realize that capital punishment is one of the possibilities and not the only one.
03:52But she doesn't realize that the moment Tomás stole that statue, I was already doomed.
03:57Why did he steal that size and not another?
04:00Because I knew it was going to hurt me a lot and that the consequences were going to be fatal.
04:03That's why.
04:05Even so, despite their tricks, we have to keep fighting and we cannot give up.
04:10There's nothing that can be done now.
04:17I know.
04:19Because I don't intend to make it easy for someone I love so much to die.
04:25It is in the name of that love that I ask him.
04:27No.
04:32You're not going to convince me, Luisa.
04:33I'll come see you as soon as I can.
04:40And you, meanwhile, take care of yourself.
04:42Please.
04:43And you think of all of us who love you.
04:47And think of your child.
04:50Because he doesn't deserve to be left without a mother.
04:52I'm here now.
05:04I hope this helps you recover.
05:06Quite a feast, Matilde.
05:07You always take care of me like a king.
05:09You need to regain your strength.
05:12Thank you, but a little water would have been enough.
05:14Well, now that you've refreshed your gazmate, why have you come back?
05:27Well, it was purely out of nostalgia, Matilde.
05:31He missed all the people he had left behind in the valley.
05:33To Eva, to Madeo, to Frasco.
05:37And Pepa, of course, I'm dying to give her a hug.
05:40And to you, sister.
05:46We almost couldn't enjoy the reunion that life gave us.
05:53Don't cry.
05:56It's from...
05:57It's a joy.
06:00Martin, I've missed you so much.
06:10My place is wherever my family is.
06:14And I couldn't bear the thought of having you far away.
06:18How true is that?
06:22Although there was something else too
06:24which pushed me to make the decision to return.
06:28She has run all over the valley, Matilde.
06:30The news of the robbery at the home of the Dukes of Valle Salvaje.
06:33And the imprisonment of Luisa.
06:35Yes, yes, unfortunately, it's true.
06:41That's why I couldn't stay away from Pepa for even a minute longer.
06:44I had to run with her and do whatever it took.
06:46to give him my full support.
06:47I understand perfectly, Martin.
06:50Pepa is a very strong woman, but...
06:53She's having a hard time with the whole thing with her sister.
06:57It will do him good.
06:58You are here.
07:01Do you know if he's home?
07:02Well, you're going to have to wait.
07:06In fact, he went to see Luisa.
07:12Martin, I'm so glad you're here
07:14And I completely understand your reasons for returning,
07:16but...
07:17But it still worries me.
07:20There is no reason to be alarmed, sister.
07:23How can you say that?
07:25Do you know that you can't just stroll peacefully through the valley?
07:27without Doña Victoria taking action against the Pasiegos?
07:30Don't worry, sister.
07:31I've spoken to the duchess and everything is in order.
07:38In order?
07:39That's how it is.
07:40Not only has he given me permission to be here,
07:42but I have regained my old position in the Big House.
07:47I find it very hard to believe that Doña Victoria was so generous.
07:51Then do it.
07:52And needless to say, I will do my best in my work.
07:55so I don't have to go back to...
07:56No, no, no, no, Martin, don't trust his intentions.
07:59I know that woman and her wickedness very well.
08:01He must be up to something.
08:02Sister, don't worry.
08:05I'll go happily.
08:06And now...
08:08Excuse me, but I have to get back to the Big House
08:12to continue settling in.
08:20Promise me you'll come back soon.
08:23And that we can spend a little more time together.
08:28I promise you.
08:29Thank you.
08:39Thank you.
08:40Come.
08:59What's wrong, Pepa?
09:01Are you tired?
09:03Tired, no.
09:04Because I'm exhausted from walking so much.
09:06What are you doing?
09:07But we still don't have a good road to get to the village.
09:10But I need a little break, Francisco.
09:13After visiting my sister, I can't cope with my body or soul.
09:17I should have gone straight home
09:19instead of accompanying you to the village.
09:21Come on, let's not have it said, Pepa.
09:24Don't give up and make one last effort.
09:26Or else I'll have to give you a piggyback ride.
09:28Would you be able to?
09:29Well, they tested me.
09:31Well, look, I would accept the offer without hesitation.
09:33And what's stopping you?
09:35Well, then on the way back you'd have to carry me again.
09:38And I doubt you could handle the servers and the purchase you're going to make.
09:42I could.
09:43But I had thought it better to return by carriage.
09:46That way we won't have to carry a lot of luggage back.
09:49Look at Mr. Marquez.
09:51And how are you going to pay if you don't have a penny?
09:53You're wrong.
09:54I have enough money to take you around the kingdom three times in a carriage.
09:57if you feel like it.
09:58Ah, I have a friend who can be called and I won't find out.
10:01In any case, we'll discuss that later.
10:03First we need to go shopping
10:05And most importantly, spend some time in the tavern.
10:08Get out of here, I don't have enough bodies for a tavern.
10:11I guess so.
10:11But troubles are lessened with a little wine and a good hornazo.
10:18Oh, and I remember you
10:19that you wouldn't let me pay you for the dessert you made for us.
10:23Would you have preferred to be invited to the tavern when the occasion arose?
10:26Well, the opportunity has arrived.
10:29You have a great memory when you want to, you wretch.
10:32Don't resist.
10:35While they prepare our order,
10:36We'll eat like royalty.
10:37Get in, go on.
10:44On your back?
10:45Are you kidding me?
10:46At all.
10:47And take advantage of the fact that this steed is in a hurry.
10:58Arrea, marching to the village.
11:04I don't know how Francisco can take so long.
11:06He won't even make it to the gentlemen's dinner.
11:08Calm down, woman.
11:09If that happens,
11:11Well, between the service and us, we're not good enough to help you.
11:13That's not the point.
11:14He can't just walk around neglecting his duties.
11:17But it's for a good cause, you know.
11:19You know that he had to accompany Pepa to visit her sister.
11:22Well, he would have had time to go and come back.
11:25Poor Luisa isn't exactly locked up in the Americas either.
11:28To find out the state the girl is in after the visit, Eva.
11:32Well, I'll tell you.
11:33Between bad and worse.
11:35That's why.
11:37Pepa needs the same support.
11:39And Francisco has had to improvise a plan to entertain her.
11:41I have no problem at all with him supporting Pepa.
11:44Quite the opposite.
11:45So?
11:47Because I don't think the Duchess will be as understanding as we are.
11:51Especially with how she's been acting lately.
11:52Since we're no longer friends.
11:58Judging by the smell, I hope they've left a plate for me.
12:00But anyway, Martin.
12:03Is that you?
12:04The same one you see and wear.
12:05Oh, oh, oh, oh.
12:09Okay, let's see.
12:10Oh, oh, oh.
12:12But Eva, I also hug my own.
12:13No, not at all.
12:14The older I am, the more I let go and it escapes.
12:16Don't worry, Mrs. Eva, I have no intention of going anywhere.
12:19But what are you doing here?
12:20Didn't Doña Victoria see you?
12:22Don't worry, there's no reason to fear Doña Victoria.
12:25What do you mean there's no reason?
12:27No.
12:27Why do you want me to list them for you?
12:28Hey, what about Francisco?
12:30Where is?
12:30I'd also like to say hello to that leech.
12:32But forget about Francisco.
12:33Yes, tell us.
12:33You've left us hanging.
12:35How can you expect us not to worry about Mrs. Victoria?
12:37How will the lady find out she's here? She's capable of anything.
12:40He's incapable of anything.
12:41I assure you.
12:43Doña Victoria knows I'm here.
12:44I have your permission.
12:45But...
12:46I can't believe it.
12:47Do I need to remind you why you had to put some distance between us?
12:49This just doesn't make sense.
12:51So, after Peña treated you so badly for kicking you out of the valley, now he allows your return just like that.
12:54I understand your confusion.
12:56But there's really nothing to fear.
12:58The situation has changed.
13:00Well, tell us, son, because...
13:02In a second.
13:03But first I would like to speak with Doña Isabel.
13:06Do you know where it is?
13:10Oh, poor Martin.
13:12That?
13:12That's a question we won't be able to answer.
13:16We'd better sit down, shall we?
13:21Sit down, Kirchner.
13:23Certainly, we can't catch up.
13:25There are many things.
13:26Tell me, tell me, tell me.
13:28I expect to have the duke's authorization to deal with that merchant tomorrow.
13:48Congratulations.
13:50Congratulations.
13:52It wouldn't have been so easy for me to achieve it.
13:56It didn't cost me much.
13:58You know that the duke has some difficulty refusing me anything.
14:01Judging by her smile, anyone would say she's enjoying herself, forcing her to write it down.
14:09I see you're getting to know me, Doña Mercedes.
14:11And yes, it's been fun.
14:16He definitely has the upper hand.
14:19And you should be glad.
14:21We are now partners.
14:22Of course, I'm glad.
14:26Yes, his power over José Luis and Victoria benefits the entire small household.
14:32I'm very proud of that.
14:35Doña Mercedes, yes, I want to thank you for opening the doors of your house wide open to me.
14:40Don Damaso.
14:40My dear friend, I am fully aware that after last night, when I dared to give you that kiss, something has changed between us.
15:00And forgive me for being so direct, but I believe it's important to speak frankly in both business and friendship.
15:10I agree.
15:14Heard.
15:17I must apologize to him.
15:22And not because of the kiss.
15:24Because I don't regret giving it to him.
15:27But yes, because it was not timely.
15:35I accept your apology.
15:36But when he kissed me, he seemed to forget that I am a married woman and that I love my husband.
15:47And isn't that love affected by not hearing from him for so long?
15:55How do you know that?
15:56I had a feeling.
16:00But he just answered me.
16:03So that's why...
16:05Don Damaso.
16:07I love Bernardo with all my heart and that will never change.
16:14Whatever happens.
16:15And I'm also sure there's a good reason for their silence.
16:22I think that in that and in the kiss thing she's not being completely honest as I asked her to be.
16:29Really...
16:30That kiss bothered him so much.
16:33I'm going to ask you to please not talk about this matter anymore.
16:36OK.
16:40I won't bother him anymore.
16:46I'd better retire to my room.
16:50Have a good night.
16:51No.
17:06I'm so sorry I couldn't invite you to the tavern like I promised.
17:17Don't worry.
17:18We'll leave it for another day.
17:19It has to be this way because when I paid for the order I didn't have a single penny left for the wines.
17:23And you were joking around with a carriage.
17:26But look, it's better this way.
17:28That...
17:29My stomach is in knots.
17:30Well woman, closed or not, you'll have to eat something.
17:34Wait, I'll take care of it.
17:35Do you never take no for an answer?
17:37Hadn't you noticed yet?
17:39I'll make you some broth; that won't hurt anyone.
17:42I'm not hungry, Francisco.
17:44Pepa, you don't need to be hungry for broth.
17:46You drink it and that's it.
17:48You're worse than a mother.
17:49Worse.
17:50I am much heavier.
17:55But I understand you perfectly.
17:57I'm finding it hard to eat these days.
17:59But you can't go to bed on an empty stomach.
18:01As if it were the first time.
18:03I'll make sure it's the last one.
18:07And what are you saying?
18:08Do you find it hard to eat?
18:09But I saw you today eating one of those empanadas your mother makes without even taking a breath.
18:15It's possible.
18:16But I ate it with such reluctance, Pepa, that...
18:19And that it's no longer about eating or not eating, but about being together.
18:23I remind you that I promised you I wouldn't leave you alone.
18:25And I will have many flaws.
18:28But breaking my word is not one of them.
18:30I don't doubt it.
18:32And I thank you for that.
18:35But I say that at some point you'll have to leave me alone.
18:38When I see that you have fallen asleep.
18:40Even if it were up to me, I wouldn't stay to watch over your dreams.
18:42Francisco, I...
18:48I am very grateful for everything you have done for me today.
18:52From accompanying me to jail to see my sister to the time we spent together in the village.
18:57Well, wait, I'm not finished yet.
18:58You'll see my face, they're going to lick your fingers.
19:01When Martin returns, I won't be able to say that you didn't keep your promise.
19:04You couldn't have made me feel more cared for.
19:13Peppa, I confess that I didn't do it for Martin.
19:16What do you mean, no?
19:18I did it for myself.
19:21Perhaps at first I did it to keep my word to my friend.
19:27But now I just want to take care of you.
19:28It's what comes from within me.
19:34So you're not showing up after all?
19:59Rafael, it's late.
20:05I'm tired, so I would appreciate it if you could leave what you have to tell me until tomorrow.
20:10Dad, don't worry, I won't take up much of your time.
20:13But I do need you to tell me where you've been.
20:15I didn't know I owed you such explanations.
20:20I believe I have earned the right to know.
20:23Especially when I've had to lie to everyone to justify your absence.
20:26You've been seeing Luisa, haven't you?
20:34You seem to have it so clear that I don't need to tell you.
20:38Forgive me, I was hoping I was wrong.
20:41I didn't want to believe you were...
20:44so irresponsible.
20:46Is it so hard for all of you to understand that I need to see my friend in her most difficult moments?
20:53But that's no excuse for running away from home, Adriana.
20:56Ignoring all of us who care about you.
20:59I just don't know how to make you see reason.
21:02What else do you need? Tell me.
21:03Do you need another fainting spell?
21:05What if someone else comes along and tells us that our child is in danger again?
21:08Are you accusing me of not taking care of our child?
21:09I'm not accusing you of anything.
21:13I know perfectly well that you would give your life for him if necessary.
21:18But I don't know how to get you to rest, to start taking care of yourself.
21:21I don't need rest!
21:22It's not me saying it.
21:25It's the doctor, it's the midwife, Adriana.
21:28This child growing inside me needs to feel that his mother is calm.
21:32so that I can be born calm and healthy.
21:34Good.
21:36But you'll only be like this when you're close to Luisa.
21:37Yes, and we've talked about it.
21:40If I don't see her, I suffer and I pass that on to the child.
21:47Excuse me, but I was on my way to the library and your warnings alerted me.
21:52Has something happened?
21:54Yes, Mr. Alejo.
21:57And I'm glad you're here so I can tell you about it.
22:01I have spoken with Luisa and she wants to avoid being executed in public at all costs.
22:07And she asked me to help her find a way to take her own life.
22:27Well, I have to admit that I started dancing in the tavern.
22:31It has emboldened me and...
22:34Pepa.
22:35See you!
22:39Goal!
22:40Goal!
22:41What's happening?
23:11Forward.
23:29Good morning, Mrs. Mercedes. Is breakfast ready?
23:33Thanks for the heads-up, but I don't think I'll have time for breakfast today.
23:37And what is the reason for this rush?
23:39I'm going to the village to visit some old family friends.
23:43Isn't it a little early for courtesy visits?
23:46Well, they're more like errands. I'm trying to get them interested in buying the harvest from the new lands when it's ready.
23:53And don't you think you'd handle these matters better on a full stomach?
23:55Yes, but I really don't have time. I agreed with Don Eduardo that I would sort it out today.
24:04Are there any updates on this matter?
24:07Yes. Yes. Last night he apologized for the kiss and it won't happen again.
24:16Good, I'm glad to hear it. Although there's something that worries me a little.
24:22The fact that?
24:22I don't know, ma'am. In your words, more than relief, I seem to see frustration.
24:33Forgive me, I shouldn't have dared to tell you...
24:34No, no, I don't know. Excuse me, Mrs. Matilde. I know you mean well.
24:43Furthermore, she is not entirely wrong.
24:46It's true that I feel a little confused about this whole thing.
24:53But oh well, I suppose it's because of the lack of news from Bernardo.
24:56Yes, yes, I understand.
24:57I just can't explain why I haven't received a single letter in all this time, not a single sign of life.
25:02We both know that these letters take a long time to reach their destination.
25:06Yes, dear, but not that much.
25:10I'm afraid of going back to the same old place, to...
25:15to become that woman again whose existence is based on...
25:19to wait and sigh in solitude.
25:24I understand her perfectly.
25:29Although, if you'll allow me to be so bold...
25:30She knows she can count on her, darling.
25:33Speak with complete ease.
25:37Believe...
25:38that she liked that kiss more than she wants to admit.
25:47I can't lie to you.
25:51Although I'm ashamed to admit it, it's true that...
25:54I liked feeling desired by him.
26:00And so...
26:03It makes me feel even more guilty.
26:05No, no, don't do it.
26:07You don't have to do it with me.
26:10Believe me, I understand her better than anyone.
26:12Excuse me.
26:28Mr. José Luis, may I interrupt you for a moment?
26:30There is a certain matter that I would like to discuss with you.
26:32Of course.
26:32But please take a seat.
26:38Tell me, how can I help you?
26:39The truth is that you already did it when you defended me to your wife.
26:47I wanted to thank you for your support and...
26:49and that he would take my side.
26:54I simply did what I thought was right.
26:56I don't need your thanks.
26:57I don't believe that's how it was.
27:00Aside from that, I not only wanted to thank him, but also apologize.
27:04Excuse me, why?
27:05For having caused him problems with Mrs. Victoria.
27:08I assure you that it was the last thing I wanted.
27:11I admit that I lost my temper with the duchess.
27:14A clearly unforgivable offense.
27:16Don't worry.
27:17I am aware that my wife has a strong character
27:20And there are times when it can be...
27:23How would I put it?
27:25Difficult to deal with?
27:27Yeah.
27:28It's one way of putting it.
27:30That's why I recommend you avoid future confrontations.
27:33and don't go looking for unnecessary problems.
27:36I assure you that I will try to avoid it.
27:38I don't doubt it.
27:40But if a similar situation arises again,
27:43Don't confront her.
27:44Come directly and discreetly to me.
27:47Nothing would have pleased me more, sir,
27:49But I tried to spare him further trouble.
27:51Well, you can see that your good intentions have been in vain, Ruth.
27:57To have calmed it down in time
27:58It would have saved us all a lot of trouble.
28:01You are absolutely right.
28:03It will not happen again.
28:04I give you my word.
28:05I'm glad to hear it.
28:06But let's forget about this troublesome matter.
28:09and let's focus on the work.
28:13Excuse me.
28:14Father is already waiting for his carriage.
28:16Ah, thank you, Rafael.
28:18Wait, don't go.
28:20Athanasius.
28:21I have to go to town to take care of some business.
28:24Why aren't you coming with me?
28:25Your advice will be very helpful.
28:27Of course, sir.
28:28As always, it will be a pleasure to lend it to you.
28:30With your permission, I'll go ahead.
28:32to check that the carriage
28:33have everything ready for the trip.
28:37Young gentleman.
28:42How is Adriana?
28:44He's still resting, right?
28:48Keep taking care of yourself as you should, father.
28:49In fact, I'm going to take care of it.
28:52that he continues to do so.
28:54I'm glad to hear that.
28:55Thanks, Ari.
28:56If I'm doing it.
28:58No, I'm doing it.
29:01I left late.
29:32Miss Barbara?
29:33I was coming from the countryside and I thought I saw a young lady riding a horse alone.
29:37And I want to continue on my own.
29:40What do you want? I don't have much time left with my brother.
29:43How are you?
29:45He still needs to rest, but he's better.
29:49Glad to hear it.
29:51And you? How are you feeling?
29:56Any change of heart that I should be aware of?
29:58Don't go that way.
30:00If you're going to start with what we need to change, our destiny is better left unsaid.
30:07I don't know what bothers me more.
30:09He either refuses to listen to me or to do so in such a tone.
30:13I'm sorry if I seem insensitive, but right now there are much more important problems than our petty grievances.
30:19I wouldn't call them small.
30:21Our happiness is at stake.
30:23We lost the possibility of being happy a long time ago.
30:26Her parents and the duke took her away from us without remedy.
30:30And what is happening to us is not comparable to witnessing how Luisa is about to face a capital punishment for a crime she has not even committed.
30:37It's terrible, I know.
30:40But it doesn't diminish our sorrow.
30:43Yes, Leonardo does.
30:44That's a real problem.
30:46A problem that doesn't even heal with time.
30:49Do you really think ours will heal with time?
30:52Sol once assured me that nobody dies of love.
30:59And I'm starting to think it's true.
31:02Sol was wrong.
31:04One can die while still alive.
31:07No, Leonardo is not the same.
31:13The bad thing is that I was once on the verge of giving up my life for love.
31:18And you have no idea how sorry I feel now.
31:20Dabrudo.
31:28You have a moment.
31:41Rafael, do you have a moment?
31:50Of course, always for you, you know that. What do you need?
31:54Big brother's advice, come with me.
32:11So? What's bothering you? Although I should warn you, you haven't caught me at my best.
32:17I mean, I don't know if I'll be able to be of much help to you.
32:20Even on your worst days, your advice will be spot on.
32:23Besides, I need to vent to someone who isn't barbaric.
32:27Believe me, you're doing me a favor just by listening to me.
32:31I don't see a way out of my situation, but maybe you do.
32:35Okay. Rest assured that I'll at least try.
32:39So tell me now, what's torturing you?
32:42I think you can guess.
32:45You can't imagine the helplessness I feel seeing that I'm going to be married to a man who doesn't love me.
32:49A man who is in love with my best friend.
32:53Yeah.
32:55I can understand you. Perfectly.
32:59God, sister, don't you know how sorry I am that you have to go through this?
33:04A situation that will be my life sentence.
33:08No matter how far Leonardo distances himself from Barbara, he will never stop loving her.
33:11Nor will she open her heart to me.
33:18Irene...
33:19I wish I could...
33:23Can I do something to prevent...?
33:26That wedding, but...
33:28No, no...
33:31It's not up to me.
33:33I know.
33:35I know, Rafael.
33:36You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
33:45Why do you say such a thing?
33:48Because I've always been able to read your face.
33:52Even though I often decided to give you space and didn't...
33:55Don't ask about your business.
33:57But now I see that you do need me.
34:04Irene, what else did you want to tell me?
34:07Speak to me directly, please.
34:08I am your brother.
34:11Do you want me to help you with...
34:12Cancel that wedding?
34:14Rafael, it's just that...
34:19I don't really think that's what I want.
34:24What do you mean, no?
34:26Isn't it your wish that this wedding never takes place?
34:28You don't understand.
34:32Even though it's far from being reciprocated...
34:37I truly love Leonardo with all my heart.
34:41And if, by some twist of fate, I could annul that wedding...
34:46I don't know if I would do it.
34:50That is my sorrow.
34:58I was looking forward to returning from the village with the duke so I could sneak away to see you.
35:12You have no idea how grateful I am that you did it.
35:16I don't have much more time either.
35:19Well, enough to enjoy your kisses.
35:28By the way, you'll have already heard that Martín is back.
35:32Yeah.
35:33Yes, I was very surprised to run into him in the halls of the Big House.
35:36Well, imagine me, my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw it.
35:39You must be overjoyed.
35:40Yeah.
35:43Although it also worries me a little.
35:46Because?
35:47I don't know.
35:48Don't you find it strange that Doña Victoria has given in?
35:55Yeah.
35:56Yes, it is true that it has never been distinguished.
35:58By...
35:59By acknowledging their mistakes or taking a step back.
36:02And even more so after the clashes we've had lately.
36:06Already.
36:06I find it very hard to believe that he intended to act in good faith.
36:10Yes, I understand your fears.
36:13But you must also keep in mind that right now, Doña Victoria no longer has the power she once enjoyed.
36:18He no longer has the duke's blind support.
36:22I find that hard to believe.
36:23I assure you.
36:26I myself have been aware of how their love has deteriorated.
36:31In fact, I'll tell you more.
36:34I had an argument with Mrs. Victoria.
36:37To see...
36:38To see...
36:38Nothing.
36:41And the duke has sided with me.
36:43Humiliating her in front of me.
36:47Oh.
36:48I just would have liked to see it.
36:51Someone has put him in his place.
36:53That's how it was.
36:53I assure you.
36:57Although I don't know how all this will help Martin.
37:00In fact, I think it's detrimental to him.
37:03And how could I do that?
37:04You know that Doña Victoria takes out all her frustrations on those she believes are weaker than her.
37:10And Martín is in the big house.
37:11She's the perfect victim.
37:13I know, but I think this could be sooner.
37:15I assure you that right now, Doña Victoria's priority is to regain the Duke's trust.
37:21And that comes from having the service under control and happy.
37:25Believe me.
37:28I hope so.
37:30And I didn't allow him to come just to torture me.
37:33Having him in that house gives him weapons to turn against me.
37:35I don't think that's what it's about, Matilda.
37:40He has Martin back under his control.
37:43And that worries me.
37:45Are these the manners of a duchess?
38:02You don't even knock on the door anymore.
38:06I think you'll forgive my mistake when you see what I've brought.
38:10It's the document I was waiting for.
38:12A permit signed by José Luis, authorizing you to trade with that merchant you spoke to.
38:19I appreciate you making the effort to bring it to me, but I was hoping the duke would give it to me personally.
38:25José Luis is very busy, so I offered to bring it to you.
38:28I assumed you would rush to my house due to some urgency.
38:31I hope you don't mind that it turned out this way and that my presence in this house doesn't bother Mercedes.
38:36If I have no problem with it, neither does she.
38:40I am aware that you have captivated her with your charm.
38:44Does it bother you?
38:45No, no. Not at all.
38:48But I can give you some advice.
38:50Knowing you, I know you'll give it to me.
38:52With or without my permission.
38:53That unhappy woman doesn't need any more gifts to give herself completely to you.
39:00He already did it with Bernardo, secretly from everyone, but that captain of the Holy Brotherhood and God knows how many others.
39:06I suppose it won't do any good to ask you to show some respect for my partner.
39:11Respect is earned, not demanded.
39:13Know?
39:17Jealous women have always seemed very attractive to me.
39:26Damason, make no mistake.
39:29I'd say you still have feelings for me.
39:43God willing, someone who loves you needs to eat something.
40:06I'll try.
40:07Do more than just try.
40:09I've already been too patient with her.
40:13No, no, no, no, no, no.
40:44Alejo, what are you doing here?
40:46I'll leave you two alone.
40:48Thank you, Captain Escobedo.
40:50Thank me by achieving what I have asked of you.
40:53Forgive me.
41:06Forgive me.
41:12Forgive me for...
41:13Because of how I've treated you, because I told Mrs. Adriana that she won't let you see me.
41:23My love, you have nothing to apologize for.
41:24Yeah.
41:25Yeah.
41:25I've behaved very badly, Alejo.
41:31But never doubt that I love you.
41:33And that my feelings go far beyond love.
41:46And thank you for everything, for standing up to everyone for me and for giving me the opportunity of what I've experienced with you and...
41:52For everything he has done for me.
41:57I hope such beautiful words are not a farewell.
42:01I am aware of your intentions, Luisa.
42:04Mrs. Adriana...
42:04Don't blame her for telling me.
42:06He did the right thing.
42:08All he does is worry about you, like everyone else.
42:12And why don't you help me end all this suffering?
42:15Luisa, she can't do it because there is still hope.
42:18There isn't one, Alejo.
42:19Yes, my love, yes.
42:24Hope has already abandoned me.
42:28Both you and I know that there is nothing left to do and what my fate is.
42:31Luisa, your destiny is to leave here.
42:34It's about taking care of your son, Aristo.
42:36And to be happy.
42:39My love, you cannot take your own life because you have so many things to fight for.
42:45Luisa, my father is going to get you out of this cell.
42:49He himself will make sure of it, believe me.
42:59The fact that I had to find out about your return through my father is unforgivable.
43:03What do you want me to do to him? And when I got home you weren't there.
43:05And today? You haven't had time all day to come and pick up your friend.
43:08Wait a moment. You arrived yesterday, you went to see your sister, and you're waiting until now to come see your girlfriend.
43:14I wanted to do it first thing in the morning, but Doña Victoria has sent me a few orders that have arrived in due time.
43:18Doña Victoria? Are you aware of all this? How is Luisa?
43:22Don't worry. She's doing very well.
43:24Very well. The last time I saw her she was...
43:26Yes, he had a moment of weakness, but he's perfectly fine now.
43:29If that woman has allowed my brother to return out of obligation, sooner rather than later, her pride will demand revenge.
43:35Don't lose sight of Victoria. Neither will I.
43:38You've deceived your son, haven't you?
43:41That's all.
43:42But this goes back further. To the very first step you took.
43:46And what was that step, in your opinion?
43:48To get the maid accused of sacrilege.
43:50I know she regrets it. And maybe it's not because of the kiss itself, but because it wasn't enough for her. Or maybe she expected more and didn't dare ask me for it. I'm right.
44:01We love each other. It's true, madly. But he's going to marry Irene.
44:05And she's not willing to do anything to stop it.
44:09Doña Diana, your time is up.
44:12Leave me with her a little longer. I've barely had...
44:14The judge is here and wishes to take a statement from the inmate.
44:16Declaration for what?
44:17What would it be for? The trial is near.
44:19Why would I be jealous of that woman if I can get whatever I want?
44:23Anything I suggest to you.
44:25Whenever I decide to.
