La Promesa spoilers: Who dies in the shooting?

One of the characters dies in a shooting in the fifth season of La Promesa. But who? And who is the shooter?

Vera's father arrives

It all starts when Vera's father, the Duke of Carril, arrives at La Promesa, and Vera's nobility is revealed to all the residents of the mansion. The father wants to take his daughter away, but Alonso opposes it and Vera refuses to leave with her father. When he leaves without Vera, the father threatens to report his daughter's kidnapping to the National Guard. Manuel promises Vera that they will take extra precautions to prevent the Duke from returning to the mansion.

Meanwhile, Santos confesses to Petra that he killed her mother, and not Ricardo. Petra promises Santos that she will not reveal this. Petra believes Santos when he claims that her mother's death was an accident.

 

 

But then the Duke of Carril sneaks back to La Promesa to take his daughter Vera home by force, at gunpoint. Vera and a new character, Julieta, stand in his way. Finally, two shots are heard in the Luján mansion. Who will the shots hit?

 

 

Victims of the shooting

Santos and Julieta are hit by bullets from the Duke of Carril. Vera cries for help, and the Duke flees the scene. Manuel arranges for the wounded to be transferred to their rooms. The new footman Carlo and Samuel carry Santos, while Ciro and Manuel do the same for Julieta.

Dr. Peribáñez performs emergency surgery on Julieta, and everything goes well.

Santos is not so lucky. The doctor tells Ricardo and Petra that the bullet damaged Santos' heart blood vessels. Surgery or transfer to a hospital is not possible. Therefore, Santos does not have much time left to live, he will die.

Santos dies

Ricardo tells his son Santos that the doctor can do nothing for him. Santos refuses medication, he wants to say goodbye to his colleagues with a clear mind. Cristóbal and Teresa tell Alonso that Santos is terminally ill. Alonso demands that they find another doctor, but Cristóbal assures him that the footman has no chance of survival. Throughout the day, Santos says goodbye to Petra, the cooks, and Carlo, clearing up old issues with each of them.

 

 

Manuel spends hours by the bed of an unconscious Julieta. The situation inevitably reminds him of what he experienced with Jana.

Pia enters Santos' room, and finds Ricardo watching over the body of his dead son. Ricardo cries in Pia's arms. Cristóbal informs the family of Santos' death.

Julieta begins to convulse, and falls into a critical condition. Manuel is terrified.

Manuel asks his father to report the Duke to the guards. Alonso tells him that the Duke of Carril has disappeared.

Ciro and Lorenzo blame Vera for everything that has happened, but the Marquis rebukes them and declares that Don Gonzalo is solely responsible. Alonso suggests to Vera that she stay at La Promesa, but Vera hesitates.

Cristóbal and Teresa coordinate the shifts of the staff to attend Santos' funeral. Ricardo is completely broken.

Finally, Vera agrees to stay at La Promesa. Ciro believes that Vera's presence endangers them all.
