Maria is going through the people as a ghost in dreams of freedom, with a smile that costs her an inhuman effort. He does not try to talk to those who once made the gesture of addressing her. Andrés, Pelayo, Begoña and Damián himself avoid contempt. Betrayal is not left without punishment: The warning is a good way to remind you that you will not be forgiven. Only Raúl remains by his side, but neither does he have in his possession all the hemeroteca of secrets.
Loneliness has become its worst punishment: sideways looks, the whispers of its back They are samples that reaffirm that he has lost more than allies: He has lost his post, his place among the people who live in San Clemente. The hardest moment occurs when Damián faces it with a warning that leaves it disarmed: «Everyone is aware of the history you interrupted. You will have to pay for her ».
The allusion to the agreement with Don Pedro is a stone that threatens to drown her: Maria is trapped once again and indefinitely for the need to face rejection and fear at the same time. The comments suggest that he was the one who left his complicity with Pedro visible. But there is something else that is not there: someone is feeding the idea that she hides more than she says about Victor’s death.
In addition, in a town where official justice is a drink that never reaches the mouth, revenge adopts other forms. In the course of the above, Victor’s case becomes again. His family, wishing that silence breaks, demands the answer and all eyes turn to Maria. The people have already issued their conviction: guilty for omission. But for what is said, in San Clemente clarity is not so simple.
Was Victor victim of a murder for what he knew? Or was Victor victim of a murder only as a message for others? With the only one of those who still defend her, Raúl, They insist that you should go to help outside the town; But Maria knows that an escape would be to accept guilt. And she is clear that she is not willing to carry the burden of a conviction that does not correspond to her.
