Mrs. Ortega, I want you
to see this before you leave.

- Are these yours?
- Yes.

They're excellent. I'll call my father
when I get to Barcelona.

- I'll tell him we have a deal.
- Sara Ortega just rang me.

The Americans made a good offer,
they're sending their sketches.

- We're going to New York.
- Then pay for the tickets yourself.

We'll sell my father's gems,
the classics from previous collections.

The auction will be a success
and you're coming to New York

to present those models.

Tomorrow, you and me
in a room in Cibeles.

- Are you going to sleep with him?
- Would that be a problem?

No.

Dad! Dad!
Mum wants you to come home.

How often have I told you
not to come here?

- Liars always get caught out.
- What's this?

You're married with four children!
Four!

Ever since we met
you've been lying to me!

Don Emilio, my cousin who's applying
to be a sales assistant.

- You're on a week's trial.
- I knew it.

- What?
- There's another woman.

She thinks you're cheating.
She told me.

Then she doesn't know it's you.

I'd like you to understand
we have a nice time together, but--

- Nothing more.
- It's best if we finish it now.

What's the problem?
Is it the store?

No, the store is my life.
You're the problem, Max.

Don't ever touch me again.
You've destroyed me.

What if your employees discovered
that the person who imposes

a code of conduct
is incapable of complying with it?

Blanca!

Why are you here at this time?

- Where are you going with that case?
- That's none of your business.

Why are you so unpleasant to me
with that almost insolent attitude?

Stop it!

This is for you.
Maximiliano gave it to me.

Let me pass, please.

He gave it to me personally
before he left.

It's yours.

Blanca, you were right,

as always.

I want you to know that, even if
for you all this was a mistake,

for me it was a pleasure
to make a mistake at your side.

I don't regret anything.
Everything I told you was true.

I felt everything at every moment
and I still do.

None of this has changed

but I know how much
this store means to you.

I couldn't forgive myself if,
because of me, you lost everything.

That's why I have to leave.

I'm leaving,
but I'm taking you with me, Blanca.

Forever yours.

Max.

Thank you.

Don't leave.

- Take my advice.
- It's not so easy.

- Don Emilio...
- I'll talk to Don Emilio.

Mistakes are...

just that.

Mistakes.

Maximiliano has left
the store forever.

I can't deny he'll be missed,
but if he hadn't left...

Well, he saved you that problem.

Yes.

He didn't seem like a bad person.

He left a letter for Blanca saying that
it's over, so things are back to normal.

No, they're not.

I can't let anyone endanger
the discipline in this store.

What would happen
if all this were known?

Would you throw away a friendship

of 25 years for a mistake?

Because I could have
done that with you.

And here I am.

Welcome to New York!

The American dream,
the city that never sleeps,

- the place where anything is possible.
- I still can't believe we're here!

I want to go into the city
and see everything.

But first
we have to prepare the meeting.

Don't look at me like that.
There's time for everything.

First things first.

Hey!

This is important for me too,
it's my first job as a designer.

I know, Madam Designer.

Then take my cases.

It's beautiful, Alberto.

I hear the rooms are magnificent.

But right now, if there's a shower,
that's enough.

Sara, how are you?

- I expected you earlier.
- There was a lot of traffic.

And I think the taxi driver
took a detour. I'm sorry.

As long as you're on time
for the meeting.

My father will see you tomorrow.
His diary is insane.

I had to fight hard,
but you have a slot.

We'll stop on our way to Bloomingdale's
and see you here, at 9.00.

Today, you have a free day,

but don't get too distracted.
My father is a tough nut.

We'll make the most of the hour,
don't worry.

Perhaps, if you had it.

You only have 20 minutes.

- That's all?
- Excuse me?

He has no more time.

But we can't present so much work
in those conditions.

- We have to re-plan the meeting.
- Aren't you free today?

You don't know how we've worked.

I don't know,

and, don't blame me,
but neither do I care.

And my father will care even less.

20 minutes will be enough,
even ten for a first impression.

I hope so.

I'll see you tomorrow.
Welcome to New York.

That woman is ruthless.

What do we do?

I don't know, but we haven't come
this far to give up.

What's wrong?

I don't know what Clara did,
but there's no reservation.

We have no rooms?

This is the high season, and...

And...?

And what?

- One bed for both of us?
- It's the only room free.

We'll get another one tomorrow.

It's the bridal suite.

Two beds for a pair
of newlyweds would be odd.

- But we're not married.
- Don't worry.

- We'll get another tomorrow.
- And what do we do tonight?

- Sleep together.
- You're joking.

Look, don't worry, you'll sleep well.
The couch looks comfortable.

In any case, we're here,
that's what matters.

- Was it 10 hours?
- 12 and a half.

I'm exhausted.

We have to prepare
tomorrow's meeting.

- I want it done before you go to sleep.
- Now?

Because style is born in Velvet

and it travels with Airsa Airlines.

What do you think?

Well summarized, but...

- But?
- No, what do I know?

Tell me, please.

We have 20 minutes for the presentation
and it's a bit...

A bit what?

Boring?

You're right.
We have to divide the speech.

We take a part each.

No, are you crazy?

We're risking everything and you're
giving me more responsibility?

You're the designer
and you'll do it very well.

No, I'm not Sara, I don't have her
confidence, I'm not a business woman...

Sara is a woman with experience.
You learn that.

Trust me, let's start.

Come on.

...because style travels in Velvet
and flies in Airsa Airlines.

So, how was that?

- Good.
- Just good?

It's lacking something.

You wanted to be efficient
like Sara, and you are,

but I think you should use
your own weapons more.

- My weapons?
- You have a natural charm.

You do it all so seriously...

That's it!

You have to laugh more.
That's our secret weapon.

- Come off it!
- Laugh like that and no one can say no.

- No?
- No.

We still haven't told them we've arrived.
I'm going to call.

Ana, is that you?

- Hello, Luisa!
- Did you arrive safely?

Yes, everything's fine.

- Is it all as big as in the films?
- It's much bigger than in the films.

Is my uncle there?

He's working now.
It's the middle of the day.

I'm sorry,
I'm all mixed up with the time.

Can you tell him I rang
and that I arrived safely and...

I'll call later,
or tomorrow when I have some time.

Of course.

And how's Rita?
Is she getting over Adolfo?

She's fine.

Really fine. Don't worry,
she's in a great mood.

A real champion.

- She misses me?
- Of course she does, a lot.

She's gone shopping
to get you presents...

- Rita, what is it now?
- Ana is in New York and I'm here.

I went with her to Paris
and now I can't even do that.

You went to Paris and I stayed here.

Yes, but I'm the one
with all the drama now.

Rita, what's wrong?

They said you didn't go
to work because you were sick.

- I'm not sick, I'm worse...
- Well, I've got some gossip.

Guess who I caught
groping each other like crazy?

Patricia Márquez and Enrique Otegui.

Everyone pawing each other like crazy
except me. I'm alone.

Alone!

Adolfo.

But, sweetheart,
Adolfo was just a creep.

- I never want to hear his name again.
- You won't.

He'll be the nameless one.

Rita, what's going on?

She isn't well.

- Because of Adolfo?
- The nameless one.

Who's the nameless one?

- Adolfo.
- What?

Get out!
All of you, get out!

Go on, move.

You two burst in like that...

- I'll keep quiet.
- You should.

- I don't know what to do.
- I'll tell you what.

We'll get your mother
to bring her some chorizo.

You can't fix everything in life
with sausages.

Honestly...

Not a word about what I told you.

- What's wrong?
- Nothing. You're so nosy.

Luisa, Luisa, Luisa...

Those look like shor--

Those are nothing.
You're so nosy.

Attention, please. Listen to me.
Attention!

- One minute.
- What is it, Don Emilio?

Your colleague Maximiliano Expósito
has resigned.

He has left.

- He can't have left like that.
- He didn't say goodbye.

Not to you or anyone.
He left last night.

Was there a reason?

Naturally,
Mr. Maximiliano had his reason,

a strictly personal reason.

Now you know. The fact
that a colleague has left

is no reason for you
to stand here like idiots.

Everyone get to work.

- Don Emilio, do you have a moment?
- Go ahead.

I think we should talk
about what happened yesterday.

It's hard, but I would like things
to be as before.

As before...

You're referring to before
your affair with Maximiliano.

Doña Blanca, you know me,
my position is as ever,

above all,
the principle of exemplariness.

If you think
you can comply with that,

you will be welcome "as before".

I'll confess something,
Doña Blanca.

Very often I ask myself

if those of us who spend our lives
setting an example for others

do it perhaps

because we don't know
how to do anything else.

Luisa, come here.
Come quickly.

What is it?

- You won't believe it.
- What?

Doña Blanca and Max were together.
That's why he left.

- That's ridiculous.
- It's true, I heard Don Emilio say it.

Doña Blanca and Max?
I can't believe it.

- Don't say a word.
- Come along, less chat and more work.

Come along.

Didn't you hear me?

Good morning, everyone.

Doña Blanca,
I'd like to announce something.

Of course,
this is your workroom.

Young ladies, Mr. De la Riva
wishes to speak to you.

When I agreed to return to the store,
it was for one end,

or rather for a beginning,
a new beginning.

The new collection
for the Velvet Fashion Store.

It won't be easy.

I'm risking a lot with this collection
and I will be asking a lot from you.

Those uniforms may make our finances
more prosperous,

but I assure you that our collection
will bring back good taste

and success to our windows.

So finish those models
because they belong to the past.

What is coming is the future,
and the future

will make history.
Thank you.

You heard, young ladies.
Everyone get to work.

Luisa, I have some sketches here...

Luisa.

Luisa.

Luisa!

Yes, Mr. De la Riva.

Let that be the last time
you don't listen to my speeches.

I make an effort so that
they are motivating in work

and inspiring artistically.

And they are, Mr. De la Riva.

- They motivate me a lot, but...
- But, what?

- He's cute.
- Who is?

That boy, he's cute.
And you make a nice couple.

What do you mean?
No, between us there's...

nothing.

In that case...

Please, Luisa.
I've got glasses, but I'm not blind.

I just want to give him...

To return an item of clothing.

If that's it, why all this secrecy?
It's not like it was a pair of shorts.

All my life looking down
on this sad, grey Spain,

and now I think
I'll come and live in Velvet.

This is awful! Mr. De la Riva,
please don't tell anyone.

You, come here.

You got me into a real mess.
Here, take this.

What is it?

What are you doing?

- We can always do another swap.
- Put them away or I'll burn them.

No, please,
this is my spare pair.

You washed them, didn't you?

And where have you been all day?

- You won't believe--
- I'm busy with the auction takings.

Mateo...

This is absurd.

What's absurd is your behaviour.

How can you act
like nothing's happened?

- I have to tell you--
- No, Clara.

No, I'm tired.

You're tired?
I'm tired of your lies.

I didn't lie, but I'm not going
to give you a list

of all I've done
with the women in my life.

Yes, I've done lots of things
and I've been with lots of women.

Clara, may I speak to you?

- Now?
- What do you think?

Prepare a letter to the buyers,
thanking them for their collaboration.

Any necessary alterations
will be free of charge.

One more thing.

Sit down.

Do you know the fable
of the parrot and the palm tree?

- No.
- No?

Well, it's about a parrot
who wanted to be a woodpecker,

and she starts pecking

and pecking

and pecking at the trunk
of a palm tree,

and in no time
it fell on top of her.

I didn't know it.

Obviously,
because I've just made it up.

If you tell
what you saw here last night...

Here, last night?
I don't know what you mean.

Improve your performance
or you'll end up like the parrot.

Good afternoon!

Darling!
How are you?

You can go.

Good afternoon.

Did you come with Cristina?

Yes, she's waiting outside.

What's wrong?

What do you mean?

I don't know.
Your secretary was a bit strange.

From time to time, you have
to put pressure on the workers.

But I needn't tell you about that.

You terrify our maids.

Yes.

Well,

remember we're dining
with the Miravelles tonight.

I know.

Pick something nice
and charge it to me.

Don't worry, I'll do that.

Are you sure
Alberto didn't call the office?

No, he didn't, and the flight
should have arrived by now.

But don't worry, he'll call soon.

- Yes...
- We're always worrying about men.

We're idiots.
Clarita, keep away from them,

especially the married ones.

We're going now.
Thank you, Clara.

- What are you doing?
- I think it's her.

- What?
- Her, that slut.

She's sleeping with Enrique.

Don't talk rubbish.

So do we live in a wonderful world
where these things don't happen?

Not to us.

It's here, on the right.

- You have to relax. It'll go well.
- How can I relax?

It's my first ever business meeting.
And there's a lot at stake.

This collection was
a poisoned gift from Enrique.

He wants to destroy us,
but he won't succeed.

And he won't ruin this trip for us.

Just wait till we find that diner.

The best hamburgers in the city
and a cheesecake...

- You'll love it.
- I hope so.

My feet are sore from walking.
Everything seems to be close, but...

It'll be worth it. I was five or six
when my father took me there,

and I still remember
those hamburgers.

It has to be on this block.

I know why we're walking so much.
You have no idea where it is.

Go ahead, laugh. Just wait.
We might even see a film star in there.

There it is!

Be careful! My feet...

What did you say?

She asked if you were a star.

I said, yes,
but you wanted to go unnoticed.

And I ordered two cheeseburgers,
the house special.

Great.

I think everyone looks like an actor.

- I feel like I'm in a film.
- I said it was worth it.

This will be my very first hamburger.

To be honest, I can't remember
the last one I had.

Cristina would have preferred
the bistro on the corner.

How are you two?

The long or short version?

We've got time.

She wants to have children.

Well, that's good news, isn't it?

With all this work, two collections...
It's not the best time to be a father.

You were right.

It's wonderful.

What about you two?

With Carlos.
Do you want to have children?

I hadn't thought about it,
to be honest.

We're getting to know each other
and we get on well, but...

from that to...

I don't know what's so funny.

What's the joke?

What?

You've got ketchup.

Since when?

Since a while ago.

Alberto, is that Doris Day?

- Who?
- Doris Day.

There!

- Seriously, it's her.
- It's Doris Day!

Yes, it is.

- Mateo will never believe it.
-Where are you going?

- Am I stained?
- Here.

I got her autograph for Mateo.
It's his early Christmas present.

His present is a napkin?

It's the proof that this...

is real.

With her lipstick.
We have to celebrate this.

Silence!
What's all this fuss about?

Everyone, back to your places.
Come along.

There's still half an hour of work

and the machines
don't sew on their own.

Didn't you hear me?

I told you
to go back to your places.

I've given you two warnings.

The third will be accompanied
by a letter of dismissal.

Luisa, come with me, please.

What was all that about?

- I don't know, Doña Blanca.
- Don't act stupid with me.

If I've achieved anything
in 25 years as workroom manager

it's that I'm obeyed immediately.

Very well.

I tried to stop it, but...

Stop what?

Stop the rumours about you and...

And...?

Max.

How could you do that?
Did you encourage me to stay

so you could ridicule me
in front of my employees?

Blanca,

do you really think
I went around talking about you?

You don't know me well,

maybe that's why.

I'm sorry.

Who has found out?

I don't know.

All the girls
in the workroom, at least.

And, knowing them,
possibly even Mr. Márquez.

How could I have done
something like that?

I swear I've never let myself
be carried away like that before.

If Don Emilio
realizes that it's known...

- The shame of it, my God.
- Shame?

Blanca!

The girls will forget.

At most, they'll be a bit envious
because the boy was really handsome.

Beauty can't be denied.

Well?

The good news is that he arrived.

He's all right.

The bad news is that he isn't in his room
and I couldn't wish him good luck.

Well, Alberto doesn't need luck.
He'll get that contract.

I'm not sure.
It won't be easy for them.

Them?
Who did he go with?

- Ana.
- Anita Rock 'n Roll?

- And you're worried about the contract?
- Bárbara, it's Ana.

And? She may not be our class
but she's cute

and she's rising fast in the company.

Poor, cute and ambitious.
The worst.

No, no, don't go there.

That's up to you.

But it's true
your brother is with that slut.

Enrique can't be with Clara.
She's Mateo's girlfriend.

And until recently,
Mateo was Ana's boyfriend.

Coincidence? I think not.

Don't you think you're getting
a little obsessed with this?

I know your brother
and I know girls of her class.

There's something between them,
and you'll help me find out.

No.

Why not?

He's my brother.
Bárbara, trust him.

He isn't perfect, but he could never
do that to you, and much less with her.

I'm not going crazy.

And if you won't listen,
I'll show you that it's true.

- Mateo...
- Bárbara...

Why don't we have a drink,
like in the old days?

Because I'm working
and some things are best left alone.

Surely you don't think
I'm trying to seduce you?

- That would be improper of you.
- I'm happily married

and you are happily involved,
aren't you?

It's impossible to keep a secret
in this store, eh?

- How did you find out?
- My lips are sealed.

- Is it serious?
- Problems. That's all.

Let me guess.

Jealousy.

I knew it.
I thought only I suspected.

- Suspected what?
- Enrique and Clara.

Your jealousy is justified.
They're involved.

What are you talking about?
I'm not jealous, she is.

Well, you should be.

Tell me you haven't seen
anything odd between them.

In the office this afternoon
you could have cut the air.

There's something going on
and you know it.

I thought you'd left.

And I thought you were hiding nothing
so we were both wrong.

You know? Who told you?

The question is,
why didn't you tell me?

I tried to tell you this morning
but you didn't want to talk to me.

But this is so...

- When was it?
- Here, last night, in the office.

But it's been going on for a while,
that wasn't a sudden passion.

This is unbelievable.

He's my boss.
You want him to fire me?

My mother and my aunts warned me
and they were right.

- They knew?
- They suspected.

The problem will be
when Doña Bárbara finds out.

- Doña Bárbara knows.
- And she thinks it's OK?

How can she think it's OK?
I don't think that either.

- What do you care?
- Me?

You're unbelievable.
But why am I surprised?

You changed Pedro for me,
me for Enrique. Who's next?

- Alberto? Gerardo Otegui?
-What is all this?

That you're cheating on me
with that braggart!

I'm not Mr. Otegui's mistress.
It's Patricia!

Don Enrique said
he'd fire me if I told anyone.

- So, between you and him, there's no...
- No, Mateo, no.

Bárbara told me that you two...

How strange! Now Miss Snooty
is interfering in our lives.

Don't you see what she's up to?

No, you've made it very clear
who you trust and who you don't.

Please, don't say a word
about Don Enrique and Patricia.

Mateo's early Christmas present!

I still can't believe you did it.

He's the one who won't believe it.

Tell me when you're going to give it
to him. I have to see his face.

I should charge him.

What? I'd make a fortune.

Don't be mean.

We should get some rest
before tomorrow.

Yes.

Everything's all prepared.

I'll iron the uniforms now,
so they're impeccable.

They'll love the collection.

Alberto...

- Alberto, come here.
- What is it?

They're not here.

Neither the suits nor the dolls.
It's not our case.

It's impossible.

They must have made
a mistake at the airport.

Was our case labelled?

They haven't found our case
and no one's claimed this one.

- I don't understand.
- That's it.

With nothing to show, this is over.
It was all for nothing.

- How could this happen?
- Don't give up now.

- What can I do?
- I don't know.

But we're so close now.
We can't let Enrique get away with it.

I'll call Sara and...

What?

Do you know the legend?

That Mae West's curves
inspired its design.

I think we've got models again.

Do you think it's crazy?

You wanted a striking presentation.

And bottles dressed as hostesses
will be unforgettable.

They won't forget it.
We need material and patterns.

Didn't you say you were the best
at making paper airplanes?

I am the best
making paper airplanes.

For the moment, we have this.
I'll get more things.

It'll take us all night.

This is the city that never sleeps.

Let's go!

What's wrong? We'll be late.

I'm thinking about Rita.

For a change.

I see her like that and I feel awful.

And I think it's all my fault.

You're so good you're an idiot.
She'll get over it.

But we've tried everything,
and nothing works.

She's a woman, isn't she?
What do women like?

Bullfighters.

Presents. You can buy her something
between everyone.

Between all of you,
I haven't been paid yet.

You may be pig-headed
but at times you have good ideas.

I'm going to give her a present
I should've given her ages ago.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Rita!

- Pedro!
- I've brought you a present.

It's this.

Like it?

You told me you'd forgotten to get it.

I thought I'd lost it
and that you'd be angry if I said:

Rita, I got the photo and I didn't--

What is all this, Pedro?

He's handsome.

He's very handsome.

And so is the kid.

I love seeing you smile.

How could I not smile
with that beautiful child?

You're so lucky
to have a child like that.

Know who else has a child?

The nameless one.

- Rita, please...
- It's the truth.

You have one child and he has four.
Everyone has children except me.

And at this rate,

who knows if I ever will?

- In no time you'll have a boyfriend.
- I don't want any boyfriends.

Do I have to spell it out?

All right.

All right.

I always get it wrong with you.

I know, I'm unbearable.
I know that.

It's my fault, I know.

That's why I'll end up alone.

With no one to worry about me.

And with no one to love me.

Old, wrinkled,

and all alone.

Rita...

Tell Luisa to bring me an ice cream
when she finishes work.

- Please, Rita.
- Chocolate.

This one goes over there.
Oh, what fun!

What's going on here?

What's going on, Luisa,
is called "feng shui".

And you're saying:
"What the devil is feng shui?"

Don't worry,
I'll tell you right now.

Please, come here and listen.

Feng shui

is an aesthetic system that the Chinese
have used for hundreds of years.

It consists of the study of forms

and the positioning of objects

so as to create
more harmonious spaces

where energy flows.

What energy?

Electricity?
We've got light already.

Not that energy, Jonás.

The energy of life,
creativity, vitality.

Passion.

With this distribution of space
we'll all work much better.

Like building a henhouse
to face the sun,

so the hens are warmer
and lay more.

Yes, it's more or less the same.

Mr. de la Riva,
what is the meaning of all this?

Welcome to the ritual of creation.
I always do it before each collection.

Now we are going to honour our work
with an ancient Chinese prayer.

Doña Blanca, you have
very negative energy today.

Thank you very much
for leaving us alone.

Now, hold hands.

Why can't we girls
do it on our own?

The sales assistants
aren't part of the collection.

What? You're the beginning
and they're the end.

From the original idea
to the sale to the client,

everything counts.
It's one big circle.

That's why we stand in a circle.
I'm getting the idea. Circle...

I'm delighted you understand.
Let's close our eyes.

All my fears and worries
from yesterday have dissipated.

Today I can see more clearly,

I have the power
to create my own world,

and all my dreams
will materialize

because I believe in them
and persevere with them.

Everything I propose I will achieve,

and all doors will open for me.

Amen.

You're very lost, Jonás, very lost.

Now, get into couples, please,

and sit on the floor.
Luisa, you go with Jonás.

On the floor. Chinese culture.
In pairs.

Now I want you to hold hands,

look into each other's eyes,

and say the first thing
that comes into your head.

- I think this is stupid.
-No, no, just go along with it.

Fen chwee, fen chwee.

I'll start.

I can't think of anything.

Don't worry, don't think.
Wind, air, fire, earth.

Wheat!

No, it's not that.

Barley?

- Rye?
- OK, that's enough!

Mr. De la Riva,
I think this is like a circus.

Luisa!

Luisa!

Luisa, wait, please.
Don't be impertinent.

You think this is normal?

You did all this to put me with Jonás
to laugh at me. How dare you?

No, how dare you question
my way of creating?

- What?
- Feng shui is thousands of years old.

Everything that happened inside
was for the collection.

A collection for which I am responsible
and you are just a dressmaker.

You really think I'd do all this
to match you up with a boy?

Who do you think you are?

You really think you're so important?

- Perhaps I was wrong to pick you.
- Mr. De la Riva, please, forgive me.

I'm sorry.

I don't...

Jonás keeps insisting
and I don't want...

I can't have a partner.

Luisa, you're young,

you're beautiful,

you have talent.

The world is in your hands.

And you'll have the partner you want
when you want him.

The boy is cute,
but all that "wheat, barley, hens"

is very rustic.

BLANCA SLUT

Who did that?

Who was it?

What is it, Doña Blanca?

There's graffiti out there.

I want to know who did it.

If you don't tell me right now,
I'll consider all of you responsible

and you will all suffer
the same punishment, I assure you.

Very well,
if that's what you want...

I did it.

Are you going to punish me
after what you did with Max?

And after...

Doña Blanca!

Both of you, in my office,
immediately.

Graffiti on the wall?
What slum did you come from?

This company sells image and class.
That's what customers want,

not riffraff and vandalism.
Get out of my sight.

Clean the wall and be grateful
I don't kick you out!

Doña Blanca...
Your turn.

May I?

Come in.

No, don't sit down.

I'll be much briefer with you.

You're fired.

I'm sorry,
I shouldn't have hit that girl.

Please, the slap is the least of it.

You've been having sex
with a store employee.

And who knows since when?

For God's sake,
you could be his mother.

That is part of my private life.

Who is it?

- Don Enrique, may I speak to you?
- No, not now.

Doña Blanca, get your things
and leave immediately.

With all due respect,
you are making a mistake.

I'm applying the rules
which she seems to have forgotten.

You can't cast aside
25 years of work

just because of an infraction,
no matter how serious it is.

- In Don Rafael's time...
- Don Rafael?

The man who jumped out that window
leaving the company in ruins?

- Listen--
- Don Emilio, leave it, please.

Doña Blanca
is the best workroom manager

that this store has had
and possibly ever will have.

You cannot do without her,

and less so now,

at the start of a collection

and with half the workroom
busy with uniforms.

We'll find someone else.

Someone else?

Someone who knows and can handle
Mr. De la Riva?

You know he isn't an easy man.

He respects Doña Blanca
and he respects her work.

If Doña Blanca leaves
there will be chaos in the workroom.

We won't make the deadlines.

Do you want me to look the other way
and forget what's happened?

Doña Blanca is a responsible person.

She will comply with the sanction
you think fitting,

and, above all, she will regain
the respect of her workroom.

Very well.

It's an ill wind
that blows no good.

You won't get paid
until next year.

And, of course.
forget about the Christmas bonus.

You agree?

The shame of it.
This was the worst day of my life.

Stop torturing yourself.
Don't you think you've had enough?

Don Emilio...

Thank you.

Don't just thank me.

You know you have
a kind of guardian angel?

Doña Elena.

Doña Blanca.

I'm sorry to have
put you through all this.

We all make mistakes.

Don't stand there like an idiot.

- Alberto?
-Hello, love.

I was so worried.
Why didn't you call?

I'm sorry, it's been terrible.
One problem after another.

- Have you presented the collection?
- No, we're going this morning.

Are you nervous?

You'll be great.
You know that, don't you?

Yes.

You were asleep.
Did I waken you?

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry. I got confused.
What time is it there?

8:50! I have to go!

Ana! We slept in!

- What time is it?
-Very late.

-Hurry!
- Wait for me!

This is unbelievable.

Mr. Ortega, please, forgive us.
You can't go without seeing our models.

- My time is for those who deserve it.
- And we deserve it.

We wouldn't have come so far
if we didn't care.

Ana, please.

Four minutes.

- Bottles?
- They're not bottles, it's Mae West.

Legend says the shape of the bottle
was inspired by her curves.

And who better to wear your uniforms
than one of the most desired women?

- This is a joke.
- Father...

I don't know
if the designs are worthwhile,

but you'll have something original
to tell at the next shareholders' meeting.

This is the new collection
for the Airsa hostesses.

This is just with cloth and paper.

Imagine what we'd do
with quality material.

Nothing happened in there,
in case you were wondering.

- Has Alberto called?
- For the ninth time, no.

He's putting you through hell,
isn't he?

Clara, I...

Velvet Fashion Store.

Don Alberto!

Yes, he's right here.

How are things over there?
Do we have a contract?

We've got the contract!

Don't do that again!

To Airsa and to Velvet.

To a long and pleasant journey together.

And to you, Sara.
Thank you for trusting in us

and getting your father
to give us this chance.

Cheers!

Cheers!

The credit is yours,

for winning a contract worth millions
with some origami.

If you knew the awful time we had.

- That doesn't matter now, does it?
- That's true. Cheers.

To you two.

What's the celebration?

But...

Carlos, what are you doing here?

Berlin airport closed.
All clear for New York!

Alberto, Sara...

- Carlos.
- How did it go?

- We got the contract!
- Congratulations!

In that case, I'll invite you
to the best restaurant in New York.

That's great, I'll get my bag.

Forgive me for not inviting you,
but it's a special occasion.

'Bye!

Congratulations!

I suppose you've heard.

About your brother's
huge success in New York?

Well, that's good for all of us.

You didn't visit me even once today.
And I was very lonely.

After the other night,
I thought it best to keep a distance.

If you mean Clara,
you needn't worry.

If she wants to keep her job
she'll keep quiet.

Believe me, a gossipy secretary
isn't going to threaten my marriage.

Congratulations!

I hope you have glasses,
we didn't find any.

- I see that news travels fast.
- Especially if it's good.

Patricia.

You don't look very happy, dear.

This contract has been so up and down,
I'm just being cautious.

Enrique...!
Good afternoon, everyone!

I wanted to make sure you heard
and were celebrating properly.

Take a look.
What's good for Alberto is good for all.

Let's drink to that.

Sorry, I've just remembered.
I have to go.

- You're not staying.
- No, I'm sorry. Have fun, ladies.

- Mateo...
- You should be celebrating the news.

Yes, it's great,
but it's not what interests me now.

Have you talked
to your slut of a girlfriend?

To Clara?

- Yes.
- It's her.

- No, it's not.
- Did you ask her?

- Yes, don't insist.
- And you believed her?

You've become so naive.

Cheaters have no problem
sleeping with others or lying.

If your husband is cheating
that doesn't mean Clara is.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

Well, so it's true.
There is a mistress.

- I didn't say that.
- And your girlfriend knows who it is.

- So you know too.
- No, she doesn't know.

Mateo,

look at me and tell me you don't know
who Enrique is sleeping with.

So it's not just you,
everyone knows.

This is stupid, forget it.
You know Enrique.

Who is it. Do I know her?
I'm sure I do. If your stupid girl--

Patricia!

Rita,

Ana was a success in New York.

Aren't you glad?

You wouldn't believe
all that's going on in the workroom...

Rita, I'm worried about you.

I'm all right, Luisa, really.

What I want to do is lie here
and hug the pillow.

But if you want, you can sing me
one of your love songs,

- one of the slow ones.
- The depressing kind.

Yes, yes.

Those ones.

I'm new and don't really know the rules,
but you shouldn't be here.

I wanted to talk to you.

Really?

Yes, but don't get your hopes up.
Where's your cousin?

My cousin?

Surprise!

What is this?

We don't like seeing you like this.

Like what? Alive?

No, sad.

You're always there when we need you
and we can't sit back now.

Look who we've invited.

Look!

- You're going to laugh.
- What is this?

The...

The nameless one, Rita.

- Rita, the nameless one.
- Why did you invite this monstrosity?

- They're similar, aren't they?
- Yeah, like chalk and cheese.

It's so you can get it all out.

Imagine it's him
and put him in his place.

Yes, you tell him.

Tell him everything you want.
Don't hold anything back.

Have you lost your minds?

OUT OF SERVICE

- Is that wine?
- Yes.

The good cheap stuff
that gets you drunk fast.

- Give me some.
- That's the attitude. Of course.

Here.

But if you want to cheer me up,
this won't work.

Wine for everyone.

- Let's drink.
- To Rita.

To Rita.

- To happiness.
- To Margarita... Rita.

I'm happy! Happy!

Sing something, Luisa.

- I think that's enough.
- Let's dance.

Come on!

What's going on here?

You're having a party
and didn't tell me?

Give me that.

That's the spirit.
Learn, you bores. You're bores.

Just as well you arrived.

You know how to have fun.

You've been my model and guru
for loads of things, if I may say so.

Yes, you may, but today
I'm not in the mood, Rita.

- Men?
- Yes, men.

- I wish they'd become extinct.
- If only.

All of them. Except Mateo.
He's a brute, but he's my brute.

All except Mateo.

And Pedro. He's a brute too,
but someone else's brute.

The nameless one, you mean.

No, he can go to hell.

I love Pedro.
I always have.

Well! And you tell me just like that.

No, I'm telling you
because I'm drunk.

Do all the women want to have
the men in my life?

All who?

- Rita, that's not the subject.
- I know.

Want another drink?

Will you forgive me?

I'm drunk and my heart's broken,
Clarita.

Go on! Get me another drink.
But we have to talk.

All right.

Another drink for the best sister
in the world!

And another bottle for me!

Rita.

What?

- Is this good for you?
- Yes, very good! You know why?

- Why?
- I'm surrounded by people who love me.

And I don't need anything else.

- Luisa, I love you a lot.
- And I love you.

Jonás...

I'm not so sure about you.
Don't be offended.

No, that's all right.

But you, Pedro...

I love you more than anyone.

- Like you love all of us.
- The exaltation of love!

I really hate this one.

He's false and he broke my heart
with his lies.

You're false. You'd sell your mother
for a roll in the hay!

You know what?
For me, you're history!

Ooh, they're scared.

Are you all right?

I'm in heaven.

Forgetting or celebrating?

This is our hotel.

What about a good presentation
when we get back?

- With the models on bottles again?
- No.

I'd present the contract first.
Velvet and Airsa, together.

We could invite all the media.

First the money,
then the fashion.

- And they say you've no business head.
- Who says that?

An idiot who has no idea.

Enrique.

How do you know what I drink?

The day I met you
I bought you a few.

- In Pausa.
- In Pausa.

I don't know if it was

a quirk of fate
or the most unfortunate coincidence.

When I saw you at the store
I wanted to disappear.

Was my advice any use to you?

I guessed as much.

Why are men
so predictable and stubborn?

The woman you talked about,
the one you can't forget, is Ana,

isn't it?

You're an open book.

You know everything about me
and I know nothing about you.

- I don't need to unburden myself.
- We all need that.

Your hotel isn't bad, but mine
serves the best cocktails in Manhattan.

I'm sorry,
I've got an early flight.

I've failed.

For a moment I thought I could
make you forget for a while.

If it hadn't been for you,
tonight would have been torture.

Why speak in the past?

It's still night out there
and in here.

My life is too complicated as it is.

Alberto,
this wouldn't be complicated.

Believe me.

A gentleman to the end.

Good night.

You shouldn't have bought it.

Now you'll never forget
having gone up the Empire State.

I could never forget,
even if I wanted to. It's beautiful.

Why don't you invite me in?

It's late.
You should go to your room.

I thought that...

It's late.

It's never late for a perfect night.

You know I want to take it slowly.

Tell me this isn't because
of that man who hurt you so much.

No, it isn't. Trust me.

Very well.

- Sleep well.
- You too.

Jonás, she said she loves me.
Rita loves me.

Yes, and half of humanity.

But she said it in a different way to me.
You could see that.

If you want to know if she loves you,
jump straight in.

I can't do that.
She thinks I'm engaged to Rosa Mari.

Tomorrow tell her she's left you,
you're very sad and need a hug.

Then, between hugs...
Wham! Rita's in your pocket.

No, that's it.
Know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to tell her.

- How do you get out of a lie?
- With another lie.

No.

From tomorrow, nothing and no one
can prevent me being with Rita.

Daddy!

Manolito.

Rosa Mari.

I told everyone I was marrying
Rosa María, and she doesn't know.

What if she meets with Rita
and she tells her?

Manolito!
How are you?

We've come to spend Christmas
with daddy.

I thought we'd announce
the collection properly.

Yes? And how's that?

With a press conference.
I want everyone to know.

My mother rang.
My father has pneumonia.

It's all under control

but until I see for myself
I won't be happy.

- Give him my best wishes.
- You're sure you won't come?

I'd like to, but it's impossible.

You're a strong woman,
this won't get you down.

In the end, it seems that

as well as a rascal
you're a nice person.

Are you uncomfortable with me?
New York is in the past.

- I'm not interested in commitments.
- You want something, Enrique?

Yes, I thought Carlos should join
the press conference.

It's unnecessary.
We have Sara representing Airsa.

I'm still in love with you, Ana.

I never stopped.

Let's get out of here, please.
