I need the baby to look like him.

PREVIOUSLY

Or him. I haven't decided yet.

Why get pregnant? I don't get it.

My huge maternal instincts! I want to have a baby!

You can find any man you want on a dating app.

Really?

It's been two weeks and I'm not pregnant yet!

Not pregnant. Whose pregnancy test could this be?

You're used to having women fawn over you.

Just like your ugly assistant. She's crazy about you.

Yesterday I took the time to put together a financial report.

We're about to go bankrupt.

We'll have to speed up our plan.

Find a good lawyer.

Nicolas, we have to leave now!

He was my dad's lawyer.

why did you create a new company with a different registered name

and without any traceable connection?

I give you my word that everything going on with BAR is 100% legal.

Your father must be very proud of you.

Help me out by massaging the report again.

I'm so sorry.

I need you by my side. Don't leave me.

-Are you with me? -Yes, Mr. Armando.

It's true! How could I have been so blind?

Betty is in love with me.

I wrote this letter for you.

In there, I detail all the illegal numbers we've worked with up to now.

It frees you from all responsibility.

-But, Mr. Armando-- -No buts.

This is meant to prove how much I trust you.

I trust him completely.

No, Betty, don't.

The time has come.

Tell your lawyer to begin the seizure.

It's time to seize the company.

You're my only rich friend. The new owner of V&M.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Well, girls, as you can see,

this collection is infinitely superior to the previous one,

the one that had to be sold to Mogollon's.

Of course, Inesita. Marriage has inspired Hugo.

I'm glad he's inspired by his marriage and not us

or he'd be making uniforms to go to war in.

Will this one be sold at Mogollon's Market?

I'll ask Enrique to buy it for me.

No, how could you think that? This collection is exclusive.

It's going to be seen on runways and red carpets,

at global events and in celebrity videos.

So, I won't be able to buy it.

What are you doing? Why are you touching the dress? You're not allowed.

Don't you get that those kinds of dresses aren't for you?

They're for women like me: size 0.

And may I ask what you're doing in one of those dresses?

You're not a model.

Yeah, Patricia.

Plus, to me it looks a little tight on you and not at all good for the baby.

Tight?

Are you near-sighted, braid girl? It's big on me.

It'd have to be taken in for it to fit perfectly.

But while I do that, you can observe.

That's fine with me. Check out what you will never have.

Elegance...

Style...

Poise.

I wanted to thank you for your amazing generosity.

You've really been like a brother to me.

Even though I don't want to, I must return to Buenos Aires.

You're leaving, Romina? Did something happen?

No, not at all.

My sister misses Argentina very much

and she has to care for our great aunt who's ill.

Yes.

If not for her, I'd move here to New York.

Well, take care, Romina.

Until we meet again.

-Soon. -At what time are you leaving?

This evening.

-But you are leaving. -Yes.

How has she been?

The same.

The only person she remembers is Mr. Eduardo.

That's odd.

My father left the house when I was a kid.

Your mother must've loved him very much

because he's the only one she remembers in her rare moments of lucidity.

I suppose so.

Who are you?

I'm Ricardo, a friend.

You remind me so much of my husband.

Would you like to see a picture of him?

Yes, I would.

My dear Eduardo.

We were so happy.

But he left

and he didn't get a chance to see our son grow up.

Mr. Smith?

No, it was not a work-related activity.

No, at no point did we ask her to try on a dress.

No, we didn't ask her to get on the runway either.

Mr. Smith, are you talking to me?

Do you think we pushed her so she'd fall off?

I have to let you go.

The nurse is walking to the room and I'm going to check on Patricia.

What happened here?

We've been robbed.

I thought that didn't happen here.

My jewelry.

My jewelry! My jewelry!

Was it you?

Me?

Are you crazy, Armando?

I had no choice. We have no money.

It was that or lose it all to the banks.

No, no, no! This is the end. That's it! Kaput! Finito!

No, quite the opposite. It's the only way to save our money.

We'll get it all back in a year and no one will ever know.

Yes, the seizure is our only--

-Seizure! -Seizure?

What seizure are you talking about?

Ma'am, has she regained consciousness?

Yes, but we have her a powerful sedative

because she was in a lot of pain.

We're just waiting for the results of the X-rays.

X-rays? But she's pregnant!

-Pregnant? -Pregnant.

No, it says here her pregnancy test came back negative.

She's not pregnant.

Honey, am I interrupting?

No, Dad. Is dinner ready?

Yes, and we've got company.

I ran into someone special on the street that I'd like to introduce you to.

I invited him to dinner.

Who is it?

The man who saved my honor and cleared my name.

Peter the lawyer! From TV.

Seizure?

Are you not going to tell me what you're talking about?

A customer's seizure.

His debt's going on 90 days now.

-A customer's? -Yes.

Is there no other way to get that money?

That's exactly what I was telling him.

Get comfortable so we can explain to you in detail.

I was telling Armando that we can't take on that reputation.

What will people think of us?

Imagine, V&M coming for people that owe us.

You know what? You're right. I'm going to reconsider.

Marcela, we should go. I think my parents are about to land.

That's actually why I'm here. To tell you they've landed.

Bye, Ricardo.

Give your parents my best. Good luck.

Why was that man invited to dinner?

What's wrong with it? I wanted you to meet him.

That man saved my hide although with what he charged me

he kind of skinned me too. But he kept his word.

Is there a problem?

No, no, not at all. Is he downstairs with Mom?

Yes.

They're looking at family pictures.

That's so cool!

Isn't my daughter pretty?

Sweetie, I'm so glad you came down.

Sir, this is our daughter, Beatriz.

Miss Beatriz, what a surprise.

Hello, sir. It's a pleasure to meet you.

My father has great things to say about your work.

Not as great as how he talks about you.

I'm happy to meet you too,

but haven't I seen you someplace before?

Probably in Manhattan.

My daughter is assistant to the president--

-Dad. -Yes?

Aren't you hungry?

-A little. -Me too.

Let's all sit down so the food doesn't get cold.

You're right. Let's go.

I hope you like what I made.

-I'm sure I will. -Right this way, sir.

My wife's cooking is to die for.

I bet. This night promises to be very interesting.

-What? -What are you doing here?

Taking care of you. You and your baby.

I talked to the nurse.

What did she say?

That you're lucky.

Everything is going to be fine.

Is that all she said?

Why? Is there something else she should've told me?

No.

-You sure? -Yes.

I'm just really worried about my baby.

That makes two of us.

I'm worried, too, that's why I'm taking care of your baby and you.

Shall I call Ms. Marcela to come for you?

No.

Thanks.

I'm feeling better.

I don't want you to worry.

That's why I'm going to stay with you

to take care of you 24 hours a day.

You and your baby.

Call me Aunt Bertha.

The police believe the thieves had help

from someone inside the building.

That's impossible.

The people that live here are so nice.

Who'd lend themselves to something like that?

The thieves knew exactly where the security cameras were.

It appears that they came in through the backyard.

Unbelievable.

Who'd have thought something like this would happen?

Do you know exactly what they stole?

My entire watch collection

and the three most valuable paintings in my collection.

Damn bastards had good taste.

I'm going to get my Bach flower remedy.

This isn't necessary. I can walk.

I don't know why I have to use this thing.

Don't worry about a thing.

The doctor told me to take care of the mother-to-be, and so I am.

Very well, Mr. Smith.

She was prescribed this, and I was told

we had to be very careful because of her pregnancy.

You really scared us,

but I'd like you to know that the company's insurance

will cover all the expenses.

All you have to do is sign here.

What is this?

Nothing important.

A bureaucratic transaction in which you excuse V&M of all responsibility

so that you won't sue or seek financial compensation.

Financial compensation?

Ms. Fernandez is going to sign because all she cares about

is the health of her baby.

Right, Patty?

Of course.

All I care about is that my baby is well.

How could you do something like that?

You're going to get caught.

When that happens, I plan on being long gone from here,

enjoying all that money.

You're crazy.

If you get caught, I get caught.

Don't you see what you're getting me in?

Do you know how much those paintings

and watches are worth?

Please come to Buenos Aires with me, darling.

We can forget all our troubles.

No. Especially not now.

I'm about to get my citizenship and half of all this.

Then relax.

You heard the cops. They didn't leave any clues.

There's always a clue.

Who was it?

Some friends from the past.

But the less you know, the better.

Fabi, can you please come upstairs?

I'm very scared.

Be right there, sweets.

After she finished her internship at World Trade Bank,

that's how you say it, right?

she was hired as assistant to the president

of a big fashion company.

Is that right? Congratulations.

What's surprising is that with such an impressive résumé

you weren't offered the presidency.

Sorry, what was the name of the company?

That's not important.

Dad, tell us the story of how you came to this country.

Peter hasn't heard it, and it's very interesting.

Yes, and since it's such a long story,

I'm going to get more tea.

Listen to this.

It was the year 1983 or thereabouts...

Congratulations, son.

I've heard excellent things about the new collection.

They're talking about Nature even in Paris.

Congrats, son.

We both did it.

Well said.

Without your mother, I couldn't have done a thing.

He helped me a little bit.

I'm happy to see you two like this.

I hope the board meeting is a success.

It will be, Dad.

You'll see how well we're doing after we present our report.

How are the preparations for the fashion show going?

Good.

Catalina's in charge of organizing the event.

Oh, with Catalina on board you're as good as gold.

By the way, she could help with the wedding.

I imagine you've set a new date.

Yes, Catalina is a good choice, isn't she?

Thank you so much for having me. The food was excellent, ma'am.

Beatriz, a pleasure meeting you.

Your father has many reasons to be proud of you.

I can tell you're a very ethical person, just like your father.

Thank you.

Here's my card should you ever need a lawyer you can trust

that has high standards of confidentiality.

Excuse me.

-Shall we? -That was fun.

Tell us what happened with Patricia.

Did she lose the baby, poor thing?

Or her head after that fall.

What did the doctor say?

Do we know who the father is?

Quit hounding me!

Olive Oyl's fine.

She twisted her ankle and has a bump on her head.

What about the baby?

Her child is fine. It didn't affect anything.

She's the same as before.

We should all take good care of her though.

That's all I can say. For now.

For now? So when are you going to tell us?

Please give us something.

Be patient, girls. Be patient.

What are you talking about?

Nothing. Nothing bad.

You think I'm hiding something?

Give me a moment.

Patty, you're here.

What's your problem? What are you all looking at?

You're looking at me as if I were an alien.

The girls were dying to hear how you were doing,

and I think it's time to tell them the truth,

to tell them what the doctor told me about you.

Shall I tell them, Patricia?

Tell us! Tell us!

No...

There's nothing to tell.

Come on.

No.

-Nothing. -What's wrong?

Enough! Okay?

You're anemic! That's what the tests showed.

Oh, is that all?

You have low hemoglobin, which could affect the baby.

That's why I have to take care of you, sweetie.

Give me a sec. Give me that.

Thank you very much.

I learned how to make this shake from my mother.

It's very nutritious. We call it the iron baby.

-Take it. -The what?

Iron, baby.

Yuck! Disgusting.

It's got raw liver, beets, radishes, spinach,

and a hint of honey to make it taste better.

What's wrong with you? I'm not drinking that.

-Get it out of my face. -Hey!

But you have to drink it. It's for your health.

Good morning, ladies.

Good morning.

What's going on here?

Good morning, Mr. Roberto, Mrs. Margarita.

The thing is, Patricia here gave us quite the scare.

We had to take her to the hospital.

Why didn't you let me know, Patricia?

-She didn't let me call you. -Why not?

Fortunately, almost nothing happened to her.

Or to the baby.

Just a sprained ankle and a bump on the head.

They did find that her hemoglobin is low.

-She's anemic. -What?

And she refuses to drink this shake that I made her

with so much love.

-Oh, Bertha. -It's pure iron, ma'am.

-You're such a good coworker, as always. -I sure am.

These kinds of shakes are great for your health.

-You should drink it. -See?

It's what I was given when I was pregnant. You remember, don't you?

Are you crazy? There's liver in it. You drank liver?

Of course.

The doctor prescribed it, so I did it for the baby.

Of course Armando was my priority.

Drink it. Don't even think about it. Just down it.

Drink it! Drink it!

There you go. Down the hatch.

That Betty Rincon is pretty sharp, but she can't fool me.

Did you know her father, Demetrio Rincon,

is an old client of ours?

The father didn't know anything?

No, that girl's planning something big,

and it's all under wraps.

What I don't get is how she let the president

of V&M Fashions sign so many incriminating documents?

Blank IOUs, collateral assets, even a seniority clause

giving her priority should there be a seizure.

Women use subtle weapons, Frank,

and we men are powerless to defend ourselves.

Betty's no irresistible beauty.

You think that's how she got her boss to take the bait?

There are plenty of lunatics out there

with extravagant tastes.

If this case works out, we'll leave Jackson Heights forever.

That's why we can't let more time pass.

Get in touch with all the lawyers and tell them to meet us in Manhattan.

We're going to seize V&M today.

So your dad figured everything out?

No, the lawyer played it cool.

He caught on that it was a secret, but that's what worries me most.

He can tell my dad whenever he wants about our business with Mr. Armando.

We're going to have to give them all the money they're asking for.

After seeing how much V&M's worth and what their silence would cost...

But that's blackmail, Betty.

Relax. We can negotiate.

We might have to give them a little extra,

but we won't let ourselves be blackmailed.

You talk to them. You've got more...

Natural ability.

No, no, no. More.

Interest in the matter.

No, no, Betty. More balls.

The last time I shamelessly lied to my parents like that

was when I was 11 and I ditched school.

Oh my God, how did it go?

Come on, we're on the verge of bankruptcy, about to lose it all,

and I have to show up with a big smile and tell my parents that everything is great.

Relax, bro. Zen.

Don't let your nerves get the better of you.

We'll sort out this issue and everything will be better than ever.

There's no need to alarm anyone.

Yes, you're right. Everything's going to be fine.

Betty is very reliable and everything's going to be fine.

We've hit rock bottom. Things can't get any worse.

Well, that's not true either. They can get worse.

You could end up at Betty's house dressed in drag...

No, wait. You already did that.

Mr. Armando!

Here's the report for today's meeting.

Hi.

Thank you, Betty.

And, once again, thank you for trusting in me again.

Just promise me that this helps the company.

Otherwise, all these risks wouldn't be worth it.

Yes, I promise we'll give V&M the place it deserves.

I hope.

Patricia, I'm happy you're alright after the accident.

It was nothing.

What do you mean it was nothing? You had to go to the hospital.

Well, yes, but there were worse cases.

For example, there was a guy there who'd been struck by lightning.

In New York?

No, he was in the suburbs.

In the suburbs?

If he was in the suburbs, why was he brought to Manhattan?

That's exactly what I thought.

How irresponsible! He could've died on the way.

But I don't want to talk about that. It's very traumatic.

I still remember the look on his face.

Excuse me, am I interrupting?

No, Bertha. Come in.

The girls from the office got you a little something.

For Mommy Fernandez.

Thank you.

-You're welcome. -You have no idea, Margarita.

The girls have been really good to me.

Those are the kinds of shoes pregnant women should wear.

How appropriate.

Stiletto heels are off limits, especially after the accident.

Put them on! Put them on!

Yes!

They'll go really nicely with your dress.

Thank you. You shouldn't have bothered.

Will you take our picture, please?

I want to show the girls that they fit.

Okay. Hug each other.

Come here, sweetie.

Make sure you can see her feet.

Here we go.

Hey, cute little baby.

Coffee, Hugo?

No, I don't want any.

To lift your spirits.

Tonight is your big night, your fashion show.

Catalina Escarpa is handling everything.

God bless the poor thing.

I hope it goes well.

You can't stay cooped up in here your whole life.

I really don't feel like doing anything.

My soul is crushed.

If I see people,

they're all going to look like suspects to me.

Oh, Huguito, that's normal.

You're just paranoid and vulnerable.

But don't worry. In time, this will pass. I can stay and take care of you.

No. No, no, Romi.

You have to return to Argentina and care for our great aunt. Remember?

But look at him. He needs me.

Fabi's right.

If I stay here, I'll never get over it.

You're a great psychologist. My compliments.

-You mean it? I can postpone my trip. -Never!

I would never ask you to do something like that.

I have to fight for my life.

I will go to the show.

Romina, lovely to meet you.

Can't wait to have you back in two or three years.

Take care. Walk her out.

I shall prevail.

Is this the color we requested for the opening?

Check with the supplier.

-How's it going, Catalina? -Very well.

Just prepping the clothing before sending them to the show.

-Everything's going great. -Fantastic.

-How are you guys? -Fine.

Everything's ready for the board meeting.

Good. You both seem a little tense.

No, Catalina. I'm certain that with your talent,

this show will be much better than the one before.

I know you, Armando.

You start complimenting people when something's going on.

-Are you nervous? -Nervous?

You have no reason to be. Things are running smoothly.

Plus, with this amazing team we have

the show will be a hit in front of some of the best clients in New York.

So, relax.

I don't believe it.

Sandals.

She's wearing sandals.

You should've seen her face when I pulled them out.

I tagged it and can't wait to read the comments.

-Hey. -Yeah?

This isn't the only surprise you have in store

for that bottle blonde.

I'm on a creative streak.

Poor thing.

We've got to care for Patricia after she took that spill.

Sorry, what happened to Patricia?

What?

Patricia had an accident with a roll of fabric.

She didn't fall with the roll of fabric but because of it.

She bumped into it and fell. Isn't that how it happened?

Yes.

Where is she?

In the break room. She wasn't feeling well.

-Oh, okay. -Boss!

This is going to be great.

I smell some juicy gossip. Excuse me.

Why did I have to drink that disgusting shake?

Patricia, what's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing's wrong.

Don't be so stubborn. You don't look well. I'm taking you to a hospital.

Don't touch me.

Fine.

Patricia,

I know you had an accident.

But this has nothing to do with the accident.

It's about the baby.

I'm nauseous.

Don't worry, though.

The baby and I will be just fine alone.

Look, I've been talking to my mother...

Well, it's not so much what she said but what I realized after talking to her.

Family is important, and if a child of mine is on the way,

he or she must have one.

One what?

A family.

A close family, a mom and dad to look out for him or her.

Hold on.

That's not what you said before.

Please forget what I said.

I want us to get married.

Patricia,

I don't want you putting my child's life in danger.

Not at all!

I'm so excited.

You're going to have to take good care of me.

A lot.

From here on out, I'll look out for you both.

Yes!

I'm almost certain it's going to be a boy.

We can name him Ricardito.

Yes!

I have to find a church before all the dates are booked.

And somewhere to hold the reception.

I'm thinking 200 guests, maybe 250.

Patricia, slow down.

We are getting married, but it'll be

something simple and private. A civil ceremony.

But with a ring.

Come to Buenos Aires with me, please.

Please, I'm begging you.

Please, honey.

You should not have stolen from Hugo.

You have no idea of the problem you've created for us.

I swear I didn't cause you any problem.

I planned it very well. It was a clean job.

I left the backdoor open and the guys knew what to take

and where to look.

How did they know?

I told them.

When they're caught, you're going down.

-No. -They'll give them your name.

No, they won't get caught or bring me up. They're professionals,

you'll see, and I'm not going to say anything.

They're going to give me my share and we can all be happy.

You're crazy.

Crazy?

You're calling me crazy?

And you have no shame.

Have you forgotten what we used to do in Buenos Aires?

Yes, but here there's no need to take things so far.

In any event, I expect you to send me money every month.

Don't you dare send me that spare change like before

or I'll have to come find you again.

-Ines. -Yes?

Isn't that the dress we're closing the show with?

What happened to it?

Patricia Fernandez happened to it.

That's it. That's it.

You've been a ray of light in my life. I'm going to kill my--

Why should I kill myself? I'll kill her instead.

Alright, alright. I'm finished. It's perfect.

No one will notice. See for yourself.

You know what?

You've restored my faith in humanity.

You're God.

Don't be silly. Why are you so late?

I've been expecting you for hours.

Don't you know what happened to me?

No.

The prodigal son of this nation, i.e., me,

was a victim of lovers of things belonging to others.

-Huh? -My house was broken into and robbed.

-What? -Fortunately, we weren't there.

The police came and took a report.

Right now, Fabi is taking

Romina to the airport so she can return

to Patagonia.

I hope she sets foot in Tierra del Fuego and turns to ash,

and never comes back.

Nope.

Hey, give me my pills!

No, you can't and you shouldn't.

Look, the doctor told me to take them because my ankle and head really hurt.

-Give them to me. -The doctor said one a day.

Think about your baby.

Give me my pills, you nosy woman.

I don't care. I know that's the hormones talking.

One day you and the baby will thank me.

In fact, I'm sure that when you're holding him or her in your arms,

you'll want me to be the godmother.

I'll kill myself first. Give them to me!

Wow, I just had a great idea.

Girls, listen up.

Why don't we throw Patricia a baby shower this weekend?

-A baby...? -Shower!

You're crazy!

Sure.

Girl, you got meningitis or something? What's up with you?

Don't pay attention to them.

They'll change their minds just like I did.

Today I decided that you're my best friend.

You can count on me for anything.

Get off me! Don't touch me!

I love you.

It's unbelievable that the father of Patricia's child

won't acknowledge the baby or even show himself.

Talk about being irresponsible.

Son, could you turn around and look at me?

Stop staring at the computer. I'm talking to you.

Sorry, Mom.

I'm just looking over some numbers that I have to turn in later.

I was telling you about the father of Patricia's child.

Do you know him?

No.

No, I try to stay out of my employees' private lives.

But Patricia's not just any employee.

She's your fiancée's best friend.

We can't abandon that girl.

Oh. Hello, Mrs. Margarita.

-Beatriz. -What's up, Betty?

This report you're reading here isn't the final one.

We have some changes to make, but they're small things.

It's not like it's the whole report

and we have to worry about running out of time.

Don't worry, Betty. Our shareholders haven't arrived,

which means the meeting starts as soon as you say so.

Okay. Thank you. Excuse me.

Beatriz has become very important to you, hasn't she?

Yes, she's vital.

Beatriz is

the most efficient person I know.

Ms. Catalina, these are the last few dresses.

Thank you, Inesita. Excellent work, like always.

Thank you!

Marce, this collection is fabulous!

I'm certain this time you'll have the success you deserve.

From your lips to God's ears.

We're in desperate need of good news.

Marce! I feel awful!

The shake that damn woman gave me is not sitting well with me!

I think she had it poisoned.

Hello, Patricia.

-Hi. -How are you feeling?

I heard you had an accident. Are you and your baby okay?

Oh, my God! Rumors spread like wildfire.

Don't even look at me.

Everyone on the East and West Coasts know you're pregnant.

Why are you still here? You should be home resting.

Go on.

What is she doing here?

Hugo, don't talk to me like that.

-I'm sick. -Well, I'm glad.

But I'm more thrilled that life got back

at you for me by making you fall.

But, Hugo!

Look, I won't hurt you because I respect life.

Not yours...

but that little alien you have stuck in your womb.

What are those?

Marce,

why do you let your friend wear such horrid things on her feet?

Get rid of her. I mean it. Either she goes or I do.

Okay, I will. Come on, Patricia.

-I don't want to go. -Come on.

-Marce! -Come on.

-Take her away. -Easy.

-You're so rude! -I'll get you more of Bertha's shake.

Gross, Marce!

Those things on her hooves are hideous!

I hate you!

And you hate me!

I hate you too, losers!

No, no. You've got to be kidding me!

Your situation is much more serious than I thought.

Not only did you lose your money, but your class too. Look at those shoes.

You're hilarious.

Why don't you do stand-up on Broadway?

How dare you talk like that about--

Hey! Watch what you say.

Why, Danny?

Don't you want everyone to know--?

Let's talk someplace else.

No, they're expecting you in the conference room.

They can keep waiting.

This is more important. Let's go.

Ow, my foot.

Oh, Mrs. Margarita. Hello.

Is there something I can do for you?

No. Nothing.

I'm bothering you. Sorry.

Not at all.

Come in. My office is your office.

Literally, because you're the owner.

I'm terrible at jokes when I'm nervous.

You have no reason to be nervous.

I'm not here to judge you.

Beatriz, this isn't even an office.

It's a glorified closet.

And they hide you in here.

This is a disgrace.

An embarrassment.

Don't you get claustrophobia?

No.

You should've seen my office at the bank.

The important thing is to be near Mr. Armando in case he needs me.

Which I see is often.

You two get along very well,

don't you?

You're indispensable to Armando.

He told me... you're vital to him.

You two have a very special relationship.

Don't you, Beatriz?
