He watched them with a mounting
sense of premonition.

:27:05
Something was wrong, most
terribly wrong.

:27:09
Even he, no more than
10 years of age...

:27:12
...could sense it like a
darkening vapor in the air.

:27:15
There was no reason...
:27:17
...for our mother and our uncle
to have been there.

:27:22
As he struck, he kept on
screaming at his brother...

:27:27
...one word, over and over.
:27:29
"Adulterer! Adulterer!"
:27:32
And then he turned on her.
:27:37
Accusing her of vile debauchery
with his brother...

:27:41
...cursing her as faithless...
:27:43
...promising her the
agonies of hell...

:27:45
...and payment
for her infidelity...

:27:47
...and then before my brother's
very eyes...

:27:52
...our mother was tortured to death.
:28:00
Ever since then...
:28:02
...Nicholas has been unable to live
as other men.

:28:05
Always he is haunted by the memory...
:28:08
...of that terrible day..
:28:09
Your sister's death...
:28:11
...came very close to driving,
him insane, Mr. Barnard.

:28:14
I beg of you...
:28:17
...have pity on him.
:28:19
Help him by believing him.
:28:24
I will try, dona Medina.
:28:28
Well, I know you must be very
tired from your journey.

:28:32
Good night.
:28:33
Dona.
