Betty, you left your phone...

What...?

Betty, what's wrong?

Mr. Armando, I...

I don't know. I'm sorry.

Betty, sweetie.

Good evening, ma'am.

Good evening. And you are?

This is Mr. Armando, president of V&M.

This is my boss.

-Mr. Armando, it's nice to meet you, sir. -Likewise.

Come inside.

No, really...

My husband will be happy to meet you.

No, ma'am. Thank you.

Betty left her cell in my car, and I was just returning it.

At least come in for some coffee.

Thank you, really, but I'm having dinner with my fiancée.

-See you tomorrow, Betty. Excuse me. -See you tomorrow.

-Good night. -See you.

Sweetie...

No, Mom, don't. Please don't.

Marce!

Shh... Calm down.

Shh... calm down. Have you been crying?

No... what do you think?

My soul is as black as a cabernet sauvignon, Marce.

What happened? Didn't you have a date?

You can't have a date with a rabid dog.

You said you had a date with a fabulous candidate.

Don't tell me this is about Ricardo.

No, and don't even say his name.

He's a rabid dog, too. Worse, he's a stray.

Speaking of strays, look who's here with his bitch.

Who? Who? Oh, no. Marcela!

I'm telling you! They're all dogs!

The queens of Manhattan in person.

Marce, Patricia, how...

Stay away from me. You might catch the flu.

You're right.

I thought you had a family engagement.

You asked for her ID, right?

She looks like your daughter, you cradle robber.

You could get sued for being a sexual predator, you know.

-That's a big trend right now. -Fortunately, she's doesn't know Spanish.

Why don't you join us? Armando should be here soon.

No, no, Marcela, thank you for the invitation,

but she needs to be home by midnight.

Thank you.

-Have a great time! Thank you. -Have a great time, idiot!

-Marcela! He's a dog! -I told you! I told you!

Pull over! I'm done with you!

Pull over! Here! Here! Here!

Thanks! Don't call me again!

Never call me again! Who do you think I am?

Bye!

No, no!

No, no!

Giova, you're a guardian angel! I'm so glad you're here!

-Giova, thank you! -What's wrong?

Those men were following me and looking at me.

Really?

What? What?

Thought you'd have fun with the helpless woman walking alone?

Well, her man's here to defend her!

And what? You're acting tough because you're in a group!

Thought you'd have a field day, tough guys!

The cops, Giovas!

Over here! Cops! They went over there.

Did you see how I drove them away?

Thanks. You're an angel.

Let's go.

So that Nacho guy really had a girlfriend.

Girlfriend, wife... who knows?

What I do know is that the girl was in on it, too.

He just wanted to seduce me, marry me,

and get his green card.

Unbelievable.

He looked so sincere.

And I kept pushing you to accept his advances.

I was deceived by his appearance.

Don't worry, Mom.

I'm sorry, honey.

Let's not talk about him anymore.

-At all. -Not at all.

Don't tell Dad.

No, of course not! Don't even say it.

Who was here?

Oh, God.

Hey, Julia, don't give me those pills again.

I've been sleeping all day, and I could barely get out of bed.

Those are the ones the doctor gave you.

Betty, have you been crying? Your nose is red.

No, it must be my allergies.

I'll take my medicine soon.

What's going on here? I heard a man's voice.

It seemed like Betty was arguing with him.

Who was it?

It was just a delivery guy. I left my cell at the office.

My friends sent it with him.

Oh, well. I'm going back... to bed.

What the hell did you give me, woman?

The pills your doctor prescribed.

"The pills your doctor prescribed, the pills your doctor prescribed..."

Give me that.

Thanks, Giovas.

Don't worry, honey, but...

You see how important it is for me to drive you home every day?

This neighborhood is really dangerous.

You know that.

You know what? I should come pick you up every morning, as well.

Sound good?

No, it doesn't.

Giovas, in the morning I take my son to school,

and then I take the subway.

Besides, how do three people fit on here?

I don't know. We'll figure something out.

I got it!

I'll pick up your son every morning and take him to school.

In the meantime, you can get all nice and pretty.

And after, I'll swing by to pick you up for work.

My son on a motorcycle?

It's too dangerous. No.

Dangerous?

He's ridden with me before, and he loves it.

He thinks it's cool.

I said no. Forget it.

Look, I am grateful for what you have done for me today.

If you want to give me a ride from time to time, that's great.

But I don't need a chauffeur, all right?

I love my freedom.

I appreciate everything you do for me, the gifts for the kid,

but most of all, I appreciate your friendship.

Thanks for everything. See you tomorrow.

I'm a great friend.

I'll need to do something drastic to get out of this damn friend zone.

Cuquito...

I've realized a lot today.

Love isn't for me.

I'll never be able to...

have a family...

a husband...

or kids...

because...

because I'm ugly...

and no one will love me like this.

My heart still has a hope.

I don't want to give up on love.

I know what can save me is my job.

I can prove I'm good at what I do.

You did a really great job, Betty.

Thank you, really.

Thank you for being so efficient and loyal.

Thank you.

After my dad,

Armando is the only man who's ever given me a chance

and who trusts me.

He needs me, and I won't fail him.

Starting tonight, I'll be by his side

and support everything he does.

Always.

TWO WEEKS LATER

Oh, no, oh, no! My baby, my baby!

What have they done to you? Oh, no, no!

Baby, are you all right? Did the bad men hurt you?

-Wilson! -Hey, you!

-Wilson! -Hey you, I'm talking to you!

-Handle the cabs. -Hey!

Sir, I'm talking to you. Take this off my car right now!

Don't wear yourself out.

It's not my fault you haven't paid the owner.

I know, but you can't kidnap my car just because!

Take this thing off.

Talk to the owner.

He's on a cruise in Alaska.

Oh, a cruise! Are you making fun of me?

You obviously don't know who I am!

Well, I'll tell you.

My father is good friends with the district attorney.

I have her number, and I'm going to call her.

She'll put you in your place, you insolent fools!

You'll see! I'm calling her.

Here it is!

Dialing! Dialing!

-You should pay your phone bill, babe. -I charged it all night long.

Your mother! The only reason I got cut off

is because there's no reception in this piece of crap garage!

I'll fix this.

Hey, you with the flannel shirt.

Can I please use your cell?

Betty doesn't know squat about fashion.

I wouldn't listen to her advice.

I don't.

She's just giving me the numbers.

I'm making the decisions.

I think getting poly cotton blends is the best choice.

So you say,

but I can imagine how dramatic Hugo will get

when he finds out.

Check this out.

We'll figure it out when it happens.

Right now, the important thing

is to reach our business plan goals

and save the company from a crisis.

No, Armando.

The important thing is to let Thompson win.

We need to close that deal today.

You suck.

Ines, I need my valerian tea.

I'm going to have a panic attack!

You have no idea. My heart...

I'm gonna have a panic attack.

Calm down, sweetie. Calm down or you'll get sick.

I can't. I can't.

I'm about to release my latest collection

with these fabrics...

Look at these fabrics! Look at them!

Not to mention that after a long list of failed affairs,

I'm finally reuniting with the person

who makes my heart want to jump out of my chest.

I have to grab it and put it back.

It happens all the time. I have to grab it and put it back.

I won't deny I'm glad you're happy.

But like I've always told you,

in matters of the heart, it's best to be prudent.

No, no, no when you've found...

perfection, magic, love...

It's love, Inesita! Love!

Let's hope he feels the same way.

I wouldn't want to you to suffer another disappointment.

Impossible.

Smell that? Smell it, smell it.

Breathe in! Inhale, inhale, inhale.

Love is in the air.

Love is in the air! Look, look.

Guys, breathe in! Inhale. Can you feel the love?

It's my love. My heart's jumping out, and I have to grab it.

My tea.

You're my friend. I couldn't do that to you.

-But if you insist -Let's go, 250 for the first one, 150.

-Pass. -This is our second opportunity.

-Sure. -There they are, look.

-Yes, they are. -Of course.

Then let's go...

Always a pleasure.

A pleasure to see you.

-A pleasure. -Hey, Ricardo.

-Good morning. -Hi, honey.

Long time no see. Last time we saw each other

was at my dad's Thanksgiving dinner.

Yeah, I remember. We had a great time in the Hamptons.

Yes, of course.

Your mother and father are amazing people.

-Yes. -It's because of him I'm here.

-I did business with him for years. -I know.

-I hope nothing changes. -Nothing will change.

I've got big shoes to fill.

I wake up every day determined to continue his legacy.

If that's the case, we'll be doing business for a long time.

-Amen! -Amen.

Of course, Armando is a great player. Right?

That's right.

Come on, let's go to the green.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

I can't find Mr. Armando! He's not answering.

Betty, don't be so intense. Your boss is a busy man.

Yes, but he always gives me a heads up,

and he didn't come in this morning.

Besides, if he doesn't sign these checks right now,

we'll get fined. These are for the suppliers.

In that case, why don't you go to him?

I don't know where he is.

Oh, just you wait. Right now.

Mari, it's Aura. I need a favor. I need some top secret intel.

Where's Mr. Armando?

He's at the club? Thanks!

I owe you one. He's at the club.

A word of advice,

if you want to locate a man, stalk his social media.

You won't say anything about this.

-OK... -He's at the club.

What club? Where is it?

No idea, but ask Giovas to take you on his motorcycle.

Sure... No, oh, no!

Hi, Patricia.

You're so weird.

I've never ridden a motorcycle.

You don't need a Master's. Just hop on and hold on.

Oh, no!

I'm never riding a motorcycle again!

Don't be so dramatic. I went slow.

Slow?

You know this club?

Of course I do.

I've seen pictures.

Oh, no.

All right, go look around. I'll ask inside.

If you see Mr. Armando, call me.

All right.

Mr. Armando!

It's Betty!

Mr. Armando!

I'm coming! Coming.

How's everything looking?

I brought you the checks!

I have the checks!

I can see you're just like your father.

You're prudent, conventional.

-There. -What's this idiot doing here?

No idea.

Thank you, I try to be as prudent as my father.

Always trying to keep things under control

and avoiding accidents.

Incoming.

Ugh! Disgusting!

This reeks of grease. It smells like a pigsty.

Well, as far as I know, the microwave is for common use.

Everyone can use it no matter who it bothers.

-Besides, it smells of delicious food. -Yes.

You mean it smells of calories.

Zip it, bottle blonde.

FYI, I'm a natural blonde.

Although it is hard for you to understand.

Serves me right for trying to talk to the likes of you all.

I'm done wasting my time.

Don't worry, Pathetic Patty. It'll all be over soon.

The trial period is almost over and Betty will be chosen.

Isn't that right, girls?

For the time being, clean your microwave

unless you want me to tell Marcela to take it away.

This food truck stench is not good for V&M's image.

Don't you dare.

-It smells like food. -Don't let her give you indigestion.

-Betty, Betty. -Beatriz! Beatriz!

-Betty. -What if she's dead?

Beatriz!

Mr. Armando.

Betty, are you all right?

Ow.

Careful, careful. Get up.

What are you doing here? This is a golf course.

You can't just wander around. You could've been killed.

This is so embarrassing.

Please leave before anyone else sees you, please.

Sorry. It's just that... um...

What is it? Spit it out!

Mr. Armando forgot to sign the suppliers' checks.

If we don't send them before 2:00 PM, we'll get fined.

Right. I forgot the checks.

You couldn't have used an electronic signature?

I tried to get a hold of you, but no one answered.

I had my phone on silent.

Thank you for coming and having initiative.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Thanks, Betty, thanks.

Look, they won't let me see anything,

but you're the Vice President of Finance.

Why can't you ask for a balance sheet or something?

Look, let me tell you something. If it were that simple,

I wouldn't be here talking to you.

Great.

Then find someone else to help you.

No, no, wait, Patty.

-Relax. -Patricia!

OK, OK.

OK, Patricia.

I was trying to say that maybe our last shot

is to hack what's-her-face's computer.

-What do you call her? -Ugly Betty.

Ugly Betty. We hack her computer.

Hack it?

I don't think so.

I studied finance for three semesters

and I never saw course on hacking or whatever.

Right.

Maybe you don't have to do it. But you can help.

You can go into her office and get access to the computer.

No, I don't know, don't know, don't know.

I mean, she's very protectiveof her stuff.

What if she notices?

Let's see, Patty, Patricia, Patsy... sit. Stay calm.

Patricia!

OK, OK.

Easy.

Look, if we get our hands on the real numbers

and we verify, corroborate, and validate

that that ugly duckling is hiding information...

Listen to me.

She'll have to walk out of here.

-She walks out the door? -The service door like trash!

What do you say?

-All right! All right! All right! -Fine.

Who do we have to kill?

All right, Beatriz.

I've signed them all. You can send them.

Great. Thanks.

Betty, I want you to join us for dinner.

-Really? -Yes.

Armando, can we talk?

Yes, of course.

What's wrong?

She's a secretary, Armando.

You can't sit her next to Thompson.

If she screws up,

she'll destroy everything you've done until now.

My love, calm down, please.

Betty looked into all his businesses.

I need her there.

If anyone deserves to be there, it's there.

Thanks for bringing her here, Giovani. Betty's staying.

Of course, sir. Can I go?

Hey, watch out for the balls.

Hi. Are you Ronnie?

Sorry, I didn't know we had a new IT guy.

Nice to meet you. I'm Patricia Fernandez.

Nice to meet you.

But I'm not new. I've been at V&M for ten years.

You've called me weird every time you've seen me.

I always say hi and you never even look back at me.

Me?

Sorry.

I'm near-sighted. I can't see without my glasses.

Hey, Ronnie... I need a favor.

I need to know if you can get into Ugly Betty's computer.

Beatriz' computer. It needs to be unlocked.

Armando needs some information urgently.

No, forget it.

I'm not authorized to touch any employee's computer

without their permission.

OK. It's OK.

I understand.

I'll tell Armando that you wouldn't cooperate.

I'm thinking big.

Why stop at lingerie?

Imagine the advantages of carrying

V&M's first casual wear collection.

V&M's very own designer, Hugo Lombardi, is designing it.

You won't regret it.

Beatriz, what do you think are the advantages

of carrying V&M's new collection at my stores?

From where I'm sitting, I can only see disadvantages.

Well, the market analysis on your stores

showed that you're lacking female clients

in the 18-38 age range.

That's V&M's strongest market.

Our clients trust our brand, our lingerie.

Why wouldn't they want to buy our clothing?

That's right.

Armando, your top play wasn't in the golf course.

It was at this table.

You might be right, Beatriz.

Restrepo.

Oh, my...

Very well. You can go in.

Great.

Mr. Fabio. Excuse me.

I forgot to give you your badge.

-Do I have to wear that? -It's company policy.

I'll handle it.

You can't leave the reception, Aura Maria.

-Hi, nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you.

Fabio?

Sandra, you need to make a phone call.

-Hi, my name's Mariana, nice to meet you. -Mariana, nice to meet you.

I'm the VP of Marketing's assistant.

Such a beautiful... day.

If you need anything regarding our finances,

dividends or differences, Sofi's the name.

-Sofi. -Hi.

Beautiful name.

Excuse me.

What department are you here to visit?

I'm here to see Hugo Lombardi.

Oh, of course!

You're a model, right? I mean, it's obvious.

What are you doing around my Fabio?

You obviously can't leave your man alone

because the vultures swoop in to devour him.

Let me be clear.

The only one who's allowed to devour him is me.

Now...

I'll save the bug spray with you.

You're dead already.

-Hi. -Hello.

Let's go.

Excuse me.

-El güerito, he is so pretty. -He's so handsome!

I can't believe it.

Did you really think you had a shot

with Hugo Lombardi's boyfriend?

How sweet!

That's what's admirable about people like you.

You never lose hope.

Vultures. How embarrassing.

-Uh, the cuttie. -You are a bug.

What a let down!

You'll be the first to get them.

Thanks for everything.

I'm going with him to the airport.

See you, Marce.

We'll talk later.

Bro, I don't know what Beatriz did to win him over,

but how could you bring her here?

I'd take her out of here in the trunk.

If someone sees her, you'll lose your membership.

-See you later. -Yes.

Get in, Betty.

Do we really have to do this now?

Yes, of course. Armando's furious.

He needs this information ASAP.

What's taking so long?

The username is easy.

I have the number and her password.

I'll only help you this time. Never again, got it?

Got it, Ronnie. Don't be so nervous, handsome.

Done. It's unblocked.

We got her, Mata!

-It... We got the report. -The report, the report.

We have a problem.

What?

Betty added security questions.

She didn't just use a password. That's a problem.

Damn that ugly distrustful fool.

Excuse me.

Thanks, Ronnie.

All right.

What is my biggest dream?

That's obvious! Even I know that.

-Really? -Uh-huh.

To be beautiful.

And to wax my mustache.

That's not it.

What's going on here?

What are you looking for in this computer?

Ronnie, Ronnie.

Easy, look, Beatriz is hiding

relevant, transcendental, and important company information.

Now, I'll say this.

It's what's best for everyone.

Yes.

Ronnie, so, do you think you could extract the information

from this computer if it were in your office?

I'm not getting involved.

Ronnie.

I thought you were more daring.

Oh, come on. Help us.

Will you?

I'll help you. I'll do it.

I have an idea.

What don't we plant a virus?

It'll seem like it has broken down

and they'll send it to my department.

But...

this will depend on you.

On me?

Uh-huh.

What are you suggesting?

Nothing.

We could go to dinner... as friends.

Betty, we're going straight to the bank

to authorize your signature. This can't happen again.

My signature? Are you sure?

Totally.

You're the person I most trust.

You've saved my life so many times.

You've shown me you're loyal and efficient.

I'm just doing my job, sir.

No, you're doing so much more.

You've become my right-hand woman.

Let's see, I think...

I think I'm going to create a position for you.

Betty, you're going to be my assistant.

What? I thought you'd be happy.

I am, sir. I'm very happy.

No one's ever been this nice to me.

Thanks.

You've no idea of the collection I'm designing.

I have these amazing fabrics

the Queen of England would use to make her napkins.

European fashion is in a crisis.

It's either too avant-garde or too conservative.

It's all about extremes.

And yet, you've succeeded everywhere.

You enlightened them, my lethally handsome hunk.

What happened to me was that my head stayed in New York

and I lost myself in Europe.

That's what happens when you go abroad.

What? Oh, you're so silly.

No, I meant I was lost without you.

I thought you meant, "I don't know where I am!"

The things you make me say.

You're trying to be romantic and I'm so oblivious.

Really?

You thought about me?

All the time.

At every moment.

Waiter.

Waiter, please get us a bottle of champagne.

Champagne?

This feels important.

Hugo, you know I genuinely care about you.

Marry me.

Here, use this to wipe your face.

Thank you.

Betty, you should be happy when you get good news.

You're more deserving of this than anyone else.

Thank you.

I'd hoped to get a chance like this for a long time...

and you gave it to me. You trust me.

I'm fortunate to have you with me.

We're going to be working together for a long time.

OK.

I didn't know you were so tenderhearted.

I don't like seeing women cry.

No more tears.

We're going to make your promotion official.

Let's celebrate.

I have great news!

Your neighbors and I came to an agreement.

-Really, sir? -Of course.

I convinced them of accepting less than what they asked for.

You're a genius! So what's the final sum?

That's the best part! 50,000 dollars!

Say what?

50,000 dollars is a lot less than what they were asking for.

It's a fortune, sir. I don't have that kind of money.

We're worse off than we were before.

-No, no. I'll explain. -Yes.

They're asking for more than they should,

you offered them less than what's fair,

and we find a middle ground.

You've got to do better than that.

Talk to them.

Talk them down to a reasonable amount.

50,000 dollars is a lot of money for me.

Demetrio, if we go to court, you'll have to pay legal fees,

interest, whatever they ask for.

50,000 dollars keeps everyone quiet.

Ah Inesita, my nails are looking awful

'cause I'm trying to avoid spending on a manicure.

You won't believe what I just received.

-What happen? -What?

That idiot Efrain didn't pay for the kids' soccer classes.

I'm not saying he shouldn't have,

but soccer isn't that important.

No, that's not what I mean.

He's doing less and less for them.

He gives all of his money to that lanky idiot.

You know, you should take him to court so they make him pay.

Bertha's right.

You should hire a good lawyer and get this over with.

I don't know what else to do. This can't be.

Someone's grinning from ear to ear.

Oh, it's nothing.

What happened?

Oh, all right! Something amazing happened!

What happened?

I can't tell you.

-You can't do that! You can't keep us like this.

We won't tell.

Promise you won't tell anyone. If this gets out,

Mr. Armando will be upset.

We won't.

Mr. Armando created a new opening,

and guess who's going to get it.

-Who? -You, of course!

What's your new title?

I'm Mr. Armando's assistant, executive Assistant.

-No way! -Congratulations!

We should get a huge cake to celebrate!

Yes, yes! Congratulations!

Let's celebrate!

No one can know.

We have to celebrate!

Come on, Ines.

Do you feel better now?

No! I'll never get past this, Marce!

Ugly's going to be my boss. My boss!

Not yet. Only if I allow it, Patricia.

I know he's going to fire me.

I'll find myself in a snowstorm in winter

barefoot and selling matches to survive.

Calm down.

I don't know why Armando decided to do this,

but if he thinks that Beatriz is going to cover for him,

he's dead wrong. This ends today!

You'll see.

Mr. Armando, here are the company's numbers.

Our sales weren't that great this trimester.

They were terrible.

Betty, this information is confidential.

If anyone who wants us out of the business sees this...

We won't be able to do anything about it.

We don't have any capital.

We actually have to ask for another loan

just to buy the fabrics.

Please print a copy of this report for Ricardo.

Yes, sir.

Sorry.

Why did you and Beatriz take so long to get back?

You took her into the movie theater.

-You got romantic. -Hey, hey! This isn't funny.

Read this.

We're sinking.

This is serious. What are you going to do?

I have no idea.

For now, I've granted Beatriz control of our accounts.

What? Not even I'm authorized. How?

Since I don't wear sexy glasses...

-...shapeless body... -Hey, stop.

What happened today can't happen again.

I trust Beatriz. She can do any transaction, meanwhile...

Beatriz is your new personal assistant?

Oh, so it's true.

What are you doing here?

Go, go away, go away, ugly!

Betty!

Yes, sir?

I asked you to keep quiet until I announced your new post.

I did, but I was just...

You just told the whole office!

-Do you have no self control? -I didn't tell anyone.

I was so happy and I didn't think it'd get out so fast.

I didn't want to get in trouble with Marcela,

but you're here on a probationary period.

In the future, manage the information more carefully.

Yes. This won't happen again.

I hope not.

From now on, not a word to anyone.

Enough!

You're not getting the job.

Girls, I asked you not to say anything about my new post.

We didn't. No.

Then how did Marcela found out?

Let's see.

Betty, if we tell you we didn't do it, it's because we didn't.

Then who did?

Girls!

Go on. Get your phones.

Take pictures, make a video.

I don't want you to have any questions.

I want you to know that Fabi and I...

are getting married.

We're engaged.

If you don't speak Spanish,

I'll say it in Shakespeare's native tongue.

Is there something you'd like to say?

No. Nothing.

We can't take this to the meeting.

No, my dad can't know about it. Much less Daniel.

He'd crush me.

Forget about Daniel. He'll sell the company.

This report could bring my time at V&M to an end.

If only a few of these numbers were a little higher.

A few?

Or three or four.

What?

We can touch this up.

I wouldn't call it a touch-up.

No, that's different.

We can think of it as including healthier sums,

and I know exactly who can help us with this.

Betty, are you leaving?

Yes.

I'd like to thank you again for everything you did

so I could sign that check.

Don't mention it. Just doing my job.

You did much more than that.

I wanted to ask you for something very important.

Something that could keep me in the presidency

and save this company.

What is it? Just name it.

Betty, the numbers in your report are horrendous.

I can't show that to my father and Daniel, so...

I need you to touch up the report.
