Liz, listen to me. You can't talk to anyone about this. Not your parents, not Maria. No one. You don't understand what'll happen if you do. Liz please? Now my life is in your hands.

The speaker urgently asks Liz to tell nobody, explicitly including her parents and Maria. Repetition makes the demand sound absolute. Ending with his life in her hands raises the stakes of silence, while the particular consequences remain unnamed within the passage.
