I can make you an offer you can't refuse.

What is it?

I'd rather discuss it in private.

It's something only you and I should be privy to.

I think it's better if you tell Mr. Armando directly.

You'll understand when I tell you what it concerns.

What do you say?

Hello.

Thanks for seeing us, Mr. Massu.

I hope we can work together.

Likewise, Mr. Mendoza.

Thank you.

Please come back. You'll be welcomed with open arms.

If you need anything, we're at your service.

Betty, give him a card.

Excuse me.

Here you are. Goodbye.

Betty...

I'll be calling you.

You'll want to hear what I have to propose.

Efrain, is that you?

Yes, Sofia. How are you this morning?

I'm fine.

How are you?

Great, thanks.

Listen, I'm really tired of fighting with you.

I think it's time we calmly talk and try to resolve our issues

without any fighting.

Fix our issues?

Be casual.

I agree. We need to settle things.

We should talk and stop fighting.

Where would you like to meet?

At La Trattoria. You love that place.

Is that all right?

Yes, I love that restaurant!

See you there. Bye.

Efrain wants to patch things up with me.

See?

God doesn't give you more than you can handle.

Oh, girls!

Hi, Patricia. How's life treating you?

Why are you calling me? I asked you not to.

Relax,

or you'll get wrinkles, which would keep you

from finding a wealthy husband to support you.

You are so rude and pompous.

I know, and you're a spy.

Quite a good one, from what I hear.

-Who told you that? - Mata, who else?

That's why I'd like to talk.

Of course, if you don't want to, I don't care. Unlike you.

You can imagine all I know about you.

Fine.

Where do you want to meet?

Sofia, don't scold him or badmouth the tramp.

Behave like a well-mannered lady.

I know it doesn't come naturally, but try your best.

Convince yourself that the other woman doesn't exist.

OK.

Your objective is to fix your marriage.

I'm trying to apply your mascara.

Sofia, I brought you this blazer

that goes with your dress and this foulard

that Ines had to give you a touch of elegance and...

Are those the shoes you're wearing?

Aura Maria, let her wear yours.

-Will do. -But her feet are bigger!

Good. They won't be tight.

You have to look triumphant, not all sloppy and disheveled.

You have to look good.

Mariana, touch up her hair so it doesn't look so flat.

I hate to be a wet blanket,

but what if he didn't call you to get back together?

Oh, no!

No, sweetie. You're wrong.

Today, Sofia got the Two of Cups, the love card.

Love is at her doorstep. It's got to be that, baby.

She's going to recover her love.

Don't be annoying, and don't bring up past mistakes.

Forget about that.

Remember, you are a lady that deserves respect.

The key word is reconciliation.

Reconciliation.

Yes, make it your mantra.

Reconciliation.

Sir.

I've been waiting for you. Just look at the time.

Isn't this when we're supposed to be meeting?

I can be very busy, Demetrio.

Please come in. What can I get you?

I'm fine, thanks. I'll be honest with you.

I was fired from my job.

That's too bad. I'm really sorry.

I wasn't expecting it, and since I don't know how long

I'll be out of work, I need my money.

I was thinking, and I'm going to ask

that you stop the conciliation with my neighbors.

I'm sorry, but I already turned in that money, Demetrio.

-What? -Yes.

I told you to wait.

The papers were already signed.

There was no way to stop the process.

That money's gone. You're not getting it back.

Thank you.

Sofia?

Yes.

What happened to you? You look different.

You probably just noticed the new lipstick.

All right.

Sit.

Could you?

All right.

It was very nice of you to ask me to a place I love.

This is where we celebrated

our first wedding anniversary, remember?

-Yeah? -Uh-huh.

No.

OK, but you'll remember this.

This is where I told you we were pregnant with Efrain Jr., remember?

No.

I picked this place because I know you like the food here.

Right, but it's the thought that counts.

You remembered that I liked it.

Enough.

I've been wondering about what you wanted to say,

so just say it already.

You said you wanted to talk,

that you had the answer to our problems.

-All right, all right. -OK.

-We're going to work this out. -Yes!

We'll do it by tackling the problem at its root.

Great.

It's best if we stop arguing.

Absolutely! I agree.

And you can't try to kill Jenny whenever you see her.

I love her.

I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

Here are the divorce papers for you to sign.

It'll be over after you sign a couple of times.

I won't take too much of your time.

If you could. Don't wrinkle the paper.

You need to sign here and initial in the back.

Sofia. Sofia!

Hi, Mom.

What's wrong? Why are you crying?

Sweetie, you were right. We didn't get the money back.

Your father's very worried.

Don't worry about a thing.

Tell Dad to calm down, and you should do the same.

I... I know this will all work out.

Let me see what I can do, OK?

Oh, the horror!

This computer for average employees is being weird.

Oh, no! No, no, no!

Don't you know her extension so you can reach her directly?

Fine! I'll transfer you now.

Beatriz, you have a call.

Hello? Who's this?

It's Fernando Massu, CEO of Fabrics by Me.

You and Armando Mendoza came to see us earlier today. Remember me?

You know, I was wondering if we could meet to talk.

Mr. Massu, I don't think I can today.

If you'd like, we could talk somewhere else.

Would you be OK with joining me for dinner at Le Blanc?

That's fine.

I can pick you up at your office.

No, no. I'll meet you there.

Does 8:00 sound good? You can set the time.

Perfect. Till then. See you later.

See you.

Life is so unfair.

She has nothing to wear to a dinner at Le Blanc.

Sofia.

Sofia!

How dare you, you bastard?

Sorry. You weren't answering.

I was...

I was trying to wrap my head around...

how miserable you are,

how selfish.

Efrain, we've been together for 20 years.

Twenty years?

I loved you for 20 years.

I gave you two sons!

Together, we made a home for ourselves, started a family,

opened a business. Does that mean nothing?

Yeah, but I fell in love with Jenny.

Isn't that enough? Besides...

I mean, look at yourself.

You're older.

It's nothing personal, though. Don't take it the wrong way.

How should I take it, you idiot?

Please be quiet!

Efrain, you're killing me.

There's no need to get hysterical.

Don't make a scene.

Behave like a lady. You're a lady.

Act accordingly.

Yes! Act serenely.

That's it. What?

Oh, yes.

-Act serenely. -Yes, serenely.

Sign, already.

Hurry.

It's hot, Sofia!

I'm sorry!

Let me cool you off.

It's cold, Sofia!

Sorry, sorry.

You have to try the house specialty.

What are you doing, you lunatic?

Serenity pasta. Bon appétit!

Excuse me!

It's OK.

Oh, where are my coupons?

Patty.

You look like you're waiting to be picked up

by a handsome man in a red sports car.

Or something like that, Hugo.

Excuse me.

Forget the pleasantries. Get out of my sight.

Your presence hurts my eyes. Leave, leave!

What a horrid sight with that hair and those glasses!

Oh, the horror!

Babe, I'll go ask the valet to bring our car around.

-Take your time. -Sure.

Oh, Hugo. You are mean.

You and I need to talk.

Are you afraid of me?

-No. -No?

Well, you should be.

I don't like people who stick their noses

where they don't belong.

What do you call them? Nosy?

Busybodies?

If you're referring to what happened earlier,

I wasn't spying on you. I needed to make copies,

-and that's when I saw... -Nothing happened!

You're going to marry Mr. Lombardi.

That's not fair!

Mr. Lombardi won't find out!

If you open your mouth, guess who he'll listen to?

The man he loves or an ugly troll like you?

He really doesn't like you, by the way.

Here's what we'll do:

If you don't mess with me, we're good.

If you open your mouth and you say anything,

I'll make sure every day of your miserable life is hell.

-Understood? Yes? -Yes.

-Understood? -Yes, yes.

Great.

Please leave us alone. Thank you.

Sit.

Don't.

Lie down.

If you think I came here to sleep with you,

you're dead wrong.

OK, then sit.

Although I'm sure you look better lying down.

What do you want? I really don't get you.

Did you ask me here to talk or to blackmail me?

Blackmail you?

Why do you say that?

What do you mean "why"?

You asked your secretary to leave us alone,

and then you asked me to lie down.

What's the matter with you? What did Mata tell you?

Oh, Patricia, you're dying to sleep with me.

You're an idiot.

Hey...

I liked the idea of the sexual blackmail,

but what would Roberto, Margarita, Marcela or Armando say

if they learned you were involved

in something so shameful as what happened yesterday?

You'd not only lose the trust and friendship of the Mendozas,

but also your job and the salary Marcela got you.

In conclusion, you'd lose it all.

What do you want?

That's more like it.

I want you to keep me informed.

I want to know about every deal, financial transaction,

and every decision Armando and Beatriz make.

And I don't want a repeat of what happened yesterday, OK?

Patricia, I want you to use your head to think

and be selective about the information you gather.

Anything else?

Yes. Yes, there's something else.

The information has to be delivered in person.

We can talk here.

At your apartment.

Or any motel will do.

Have you called Sofia?

I called her a few times, but she didn't answer.

Things probably didn't go well.

Sandra, bite your tongue! Quit being so negative.

I'm worried about her.

There she is.

Look at the state she's in.

What happened?

Girls...

it was pointless.

He wanted to work things out...

by getting divorced.

Well, then you'll need a good lawyer.

-Hell, no! -Huh?

I'm not signing the papers.

I made a promise before God, and I'm going to keep it.

I'm going to remain Efrain Montes' wife till I die.

Oh, Sofi.

Don't cry, girl.

I went ahead and ordered wine. I hope that's OK.

I don't drink, sir.

When the waiter comes by, you can order whatever you want.

Betty, now that I'm getting a closer look at you,

I must say that there's a strange beauty about you.

Your eyes are alluring and your gaze is...

I'm nearsighted. I'm nearsighted, and I'm ugly.

Don't try to seduce me, because we both know why we're here.

You want to bribe me.

Let's not waste any more time. How much are we talking about?

I never imagined you would be so determined and direct.

But it makes me glad.

I feel this is the start of a long business relationship.

Don't get it twisted, Mr. Massu.

If I were to accept, which doesn't mean I will,

I want to know the terms of your offer.

Very well.

I can't be too sure,

but it is my understanding that V&M is going to invest

$50 million in fabric.

If you manage to convince Armando

to invest all that money in my company,

I'll give you a 10% cut of the total investment.

No! No, no!

-Get out! -May I pour it?

Damn!

Five... million, right?

Five big ones.

I... I shouldn't be here.

Miss, the $5 million could be yours.

Thank you for dinner. It was delicious.

I didn't know you were such a great cook.

Thank you. It's my mother's recipe.

It was delicious.

I'd like to toast to you, son.

We're very proud of what you've done at the company

after we left you in charge.

I'd also like to toast to these two lovebirds.

They look great together.

-They do! -Congratulations.

Cheers.

Where are you off to next? What do you have planned?

We have many, many plans.

Dubrovnik, Croatia.

That's nice.

Will you be back for the next meeting?

Yes, of course.

You know, I just had an idea.

We could host two events on the same day.

The meeting and your wedding.

Yes! I love the idea.

-Yes, yes. -No, Marcela. All in due time.

The meeting has nothing to do with our wedding.

What's wrong? We can hire someone.

It can be done. Why not?

Enough. Not another word.

The wedding will be held after the meeting.

Congratulations!

Think it over, Betty. I don't need an answer today.

However, I advise you not to miss out on this opportunity.

All that money could be yours to spend as you see fit.

Just imagine...

how many glasses you could buy. One in every color of the rainbow.

Hi, Daniel.

I have some very valuable info.

Perfect.

Send me your home address so we can meet there.

My house?

No, I thought we'd go out to dinner and talk somewhere like Le Blanc.

Use your head for once.

It's risky for us to be seen together.

All right.

I'll send you my address. Bye.

Thank you so much for dinner. It's great to see you so happy.

Thank you for stopping by. Happy travels.

Thank you.

We can leave, because we know everything will be OK.

-I trust you, son. -Thank you.

Don't say goodbye to me. I'll drop you off.

Great. Let's get our coats.

Thank you for tonight. Everything was delicious.

Will you be coming back?

No.

I have to get to the office bright and early tomorrow.

Get some rest.

Come on, baby!

Is that all you got?

This is the gym I was telling you about, Wilson.

This is where all of the Break Bones started.

They're a family of Mexican wrestlers originally known

as Masacradores in Mexico City, but they changed their name

after moving here.

-You're a girl! -Who is that wild beast?

That's Break Bone Sandy, the youngest of the clan.

She's a trainer here, too.

She's very fast.

And strong.

Don't get your hopes up. She doesn't like guys.

Really? How do you know?

I went out with her once, and she kicked me you-know-where.

-Why? -I tried to kiss her.

I've never known her to date anyone,

but she's the toughest Break Bone.

Wilson?

Damn!

Oh, no. No, no, no.

Why isn't it...

Oh, damn it!

Breathe, Patricia.

Incompetent fool!

Oh, no. Daniel will be here soon.

What am I going to do? I'm going to die.

Is that enough water?

No. More, more...

Are you sure?

More, more!

-Hi, Mom. -Hi, sweetie.

-Hi, Grams. -Hey, Betty.

Why are you making so many tamales? Dad can't have them.

They're not for us. I'm selling them.

That's a lot of work, Mom.

I can't let you bear the brunt of the responsibilities.

No, honey.

It won't be a lot, but what little I make will help.

Yeah, but you can't just go out and start selling them.

You need a license.

First things first. We'll figure the rest as we go.

All right. As you wish.

I'll help...

She says she'll also help.

Don't worry, honey.

Sandy! Wake up, sis!

The lights went out.

Up you go. Easy does it.

Easy, easy.

You gave us quite a scare. You're OK, though.

Go wash your face. You need a break.

-OK. -You need a break.

We'll talk later.

What are you looking at? She's fine.

Get back to training, you busybodies!

Sandra?

Yes, Wilson.

-Hi, Daniel. -Hey.

-Come in. -Thanks.

Wow!

This is very romantic, Patricia.

This isn't romantic. Not at all.

It's very casual. I love living by candlelight.

It's smells great, and it's very Zen and comforting.

It also matches our dark and secretive relationship.

Would you like something to drink?

Yes, I'll have a whiskey. On the rocks, please.

I have no ice.

The fridge is broken,

and no one's coming to repair it till tomorrow.

How sad, Patricia.

You lived in the lap of luxury, and now you're a secretary

who can't afford to pay her electric bill.

I didn't ask you here so you could insult me,

but to talk about Beatriz.

And so you'll stop blackmailing me.

Did you like the gym, Wilson?

Yeah. Thanks so much.

-See you around. -Yeah. Later.

-See you. -See you later.

Good night.

Break Bone Sandy, huh?

You sure kept that under wraps.

Yes.

I'm the only woman in a family of many male wrestlers.

My dad is Masacrador Fuentes.

And I'm Break Bone Sandy.

I'm very proud of who I am and where I come from.

-Is there a problem with that? -No! Take it easy!

On the contrary! I love wrestling.

I love seeing you break everyone's bones.

How do you lift guys who are bigger than you?

It's all about technique and focus.

-I need a favor. -Sure.

Don't tell anyone about what you saw here, OK?

Sometimes I fight and I make a few extra bucks,

but my primary source of income is V&M.

I wouldn't want anyone at the company, much less the squad, to know about this.

They wouldn't understand.

Can you keep this secret?

Sure, Sandrita. Don't worry about a thing.

I won't tell anyone about your two secrets.

Two secrets?

Relax, bro. I'm a friend to my friends.

See you!

Bro?

Beatriz was having dinner with Fernando Massu,

owner of Fabrics by Me.

Armando is considering a multi-million dollar deal with him,

so don't you think it's suspicious for these two to have met?

The quality of this video is terrible, Patricia.

I can hardly make out a man and woman having dinner.

If I'd gotten closer to them, they would've seen me.

I assure you it's them, though.

Coming here was a waste of time.

No, no. Wait!

I also know Armando authorized that gargoyle

to make financial transactions.

That information is worthless.

With Mata gone, he was obviously going to have her take over.

Stop making that poor girl's life hell,

and don't waste my time.

I want Armando's head, not hers.

Daniel, just think about this.

Don't you think it's suspicious that a millionaire,

a successful business man, was having dinner

at a restaurant with an ugly woman?

Could it be that you want Armando to replace her?

With a blond bombshell

with tempting lips

and the most firm and sensuous breasts ever?

And with the most...

delectable skin.

No, no. Don't get it twisted.

Don't think I'll sleep with you for a job and a better salary.

No, you're going to sleep with me because you like me,

because you want this as much as I do.

No, no... I really don't want this.

No, Daniel. Daniel.

Daniel, what are you doing?

-I'm leaving. -What do you mean?

Yeah. Use this to pay your electric bill

and this to stock up on good whiskey.

What's the matter with you? Take your dirty money!

I don't need it! Idiot!

I really don't know what to do, Cuquito.

That commission could help me get Dad out of trouble

and even start a family business.

Five million dollars!

Do you know how much we can do with $5 million?

This is where we'll live from now on.

Dad, Mom, this is our new home.

Oh, sweetie! This house is amazing!

It's a dream come true!

I always knew you'd make it.

Sweetheart, I'm so proud of you.

-I love you. -I love you, too, Dad.

-And guess what? -What?

-There's another surprise. -No way.

Mom, I bought the factory you always wanted.

Tamales Julita is going to happen.

And we have a US patent.

Oh, sweetie!

We'll have vegetarian tamales,

lean meat tamales,

and regular tamales.

They are made of pigs raised on our own farm.

-That's amazing. -Amazing.

And we also have a pink dog.

Tomorrow's going to be a tough day.

I have to decide whether to sully my conscience or not

or spare my parents some grief.

Good morning, lovely ladies.

-Good morning, Wilson. -Good morning!

Welcome!

-Good morning, Wilson. -Good morning.

Look who's here! How are you today?

-Is everything OK? -Yeah, thanks for asking.

Tough guy!

Hey, you! Get away from my car!

You're going to scratch it with that rag.

I'm cleaning it so you can take it, mama.

If I were your mama, you wouldn't be so hideous. Move!

Yes, darling, you're coming with me

because the mayor, who's my friend, set you

and the gang of thieves who work in this dump straight.

-Take it easy, mama. -Don't call me mama!

Have you no respect?

You should be grateful I didn't tell the mayor

how you treated me.

Now go. Get to it!

Oh, cutie.

Oh, baby. I love you so much.

You're so beautiful, and I missed you so much.

Rumor has it that Fernando Massu, owner of Fabrics by Me,

grants commissions per fabric sold to gain more clients.

Bribes.

I imagine you've been offered money, too.

No, sir. I'd never take it!

I wouldn't take it from him or any other company.

Sure. Talk to Fernando.

I want to know if Beatriz agreed to take his bribe.

You think he'll tell me?

I don't know. Find a way to find out!

Get creative, Mata!

If you succeed,

there's an excellent job offer in it for you.

I can imagine Hugo now.

"Armie, this fabric is 50% cotton, 50% polyester.

No, no, no. It doesn't work."

He asked for silk, wool, and European linen.

That doesn't help our case.

Betty, how much would be saved with these fabrics?

We'd save a little over...

five million dollars.

Perfect.

Bro, Hugo will quit if we don't give him what he wants, and you know it.

Yes, but don't worry about him. I'll handle Hugo.

People only care about the design. The fabrics aren't all that important.

Besides, our clients are faithful to our brand.

You're taking a gamble, Armando.

We have to be ready in case things don't go our way.

-Mr. Armando. -Yes, it's a gamble.

No risk, no reward.

-Mr. Armando. -What is it, Betty?

I know maybe now isn't the best time,

but I wanted to ask about my raise.

I really need the money now.

Don't worry. I'll handle it.

-Keep calm. -Thank you.

Smith, I sent you an email requesting a raise

for Ms. Beatriz Rincon. Have you crunched the numbers?

Yeah, but it turns out we can't give her a raise.

She's going to be my assistant instead of my secretary.

A change in her salary is required.

If your email had arrived before Ms. Marcela's,

there wouldn't be a problem.

But since she requested a raise for Ms. Fernandez first,

we're out of funds. See for yourself.

What?

Patricia makes this much?

Ever since she started.

-Marcela requested this? -Yeah.

Who authorized Patricia's salary?

Good morning, sweetie. I also own this company.

You had to run it by me. I found out through Smith.

Are you paying your friend to spy on me?

No, that's what happens when you pick a secretary

when you already had one.

Patricia shouldn't be paid that much.

She doesn't deserve such a lowly position.

She's not here to hand out water bottles at meetings.

She can't even do that right.

It's almost noon, and she's not here yet.

-She's so efficient, huh? -Call her.

Beatriz will get a raise,

and Patricia is going to make what the other secretaries make,

and that's final.

Nicolas.

Nicolas, Nicolas.

Heaven must be real because I just saw an angel.

Oh! It smells like her, too.

Betty, sit down.

I went to talk to Smith about your raise, and it wasn't easy.

I made every possible case as to why you should earn more,

but he had his reservations.

That's why he's here. To look after our budget.

I explained everything and gave him every reason

as to why you should get a raise.

-Thank you so much, sir. -Don't thank me.

I wasn't very successful.

What?

You'll receive a small raise.

If our new collection is a hit,

I can compensate you with a few bonuses. What do you think?

I understand, but my family isn't financially stable...

Sorry, but I have to take this call.

Nico, I'm so glad you stopped by.

Betty, who is that goddess?

-Who? -What goddess?

Hold me.

Betty, I just saw a vision.

And I will see that vision again with your help.

She works here.

She's blonde, with sun-like golden hair,

long legs like a skyscraper,

ivory white teeth like a hawk's...

Betty, I've been dreaming about her since I was 15.

Patricia Fernandez?

Her name is Patricia?

Yes, and she's not someone you dream of.

She's evil.

She's your worst nightmare. She's Satan's evil sister!

My Patricia. My favorite she-devil.

What am I doing wrong, Betty?

Forget it, Nicolas.

Come with me to Times Square so we can grab a bite to eat.

So you're going to be making the same money?

Yeah, the company can't afford to give me a raise.

That's not your problem.

You were promised a raise, and you need to get it.

They can't afford it.

I'm worried, though.

Dad lost his job, and we're broke.

The offer from the fabric guy still stands, doesn't it?

Taking it would be like betraying Mr. Armando.

No, you wouldn't be betraying him.

Plus, they pay you a lot less than what you deserve.

Taking that offer would make Mr. Armando think

I'm taking advantage of his trust.

No, you're not taking advantage of his trust.

He's taking advantage of you!

Why do you defend him so much? Are you falling for him?

No! Of course not!

Then start looking after yourself.

Armando won't place you above his interests.

If tomorrow he sees that it's better to fire you,

he'll stand and wave bye. Nice to meet... Betty!

Italians know their craft.

Their product is far superior.

And we can't afford it.

We have to pick the best fabrics and sacrifice a little quality.

Betty,

you've analyzed all of the companies, which one is the best fit for us?

This is the best company.

Their fabrics are similar to the ones picked by Hugo.

The quality is very different,

but their other items are of better quality and lower price.

You know what? I was thinking the same.

My father worked with them in the past,

and they have great prices.

I think we're going to sign with them.

If we buy our fabrics and other supplies from them,

we might get a discount,

and we might reach our business goal.

Say no more! "Habemus Supplier!"

He says as white smoke billowed from the president's office.

Bro, for better or worse, it's been decided.

Mr. Massu?

It's Beatriz Rincon.

I'll take you up on your offer.

Let's work together.
