Original subtitles

Look, Betty, be honest with me.

I have no problem

with you working with your boyfriend in BAR.

It's okay. I just don't like lies.

A friend doesn't just send this huge arrangement.

This is proof that a friend does.

Besides, I swear I've never lied to you,

and I don't want to. Nicolas is like a brother to me.

Him being my boyfriend is just workplace gossip.

-Please believe me. -Huh?

Believe me, pretty please.

How could you just walk in, give me the flowers,

and announce that they were from Nicolas?

I'm sorry, Betty. I thought you'd be happy.

I was in a very important meeting,

and you put me in an uncomfortable situation.

I'm sorry, it's just that I got excited about the flowers,

and since you'd said you were so in love...

-Or is it not true? -Of course it's true!

But it's not to be discussed in the office, okay?

What's more, I was clear when I asked you and the girls

not to discuss my personal life. I don't like it.

-Bertha? -Okay, fine.

Do not talk about that at V&M,

and especially not in front of my boss.

Okay, Betty. Whatever you say.

-Bertha. -Huh?

-Promise me. -Huh?

-Promise you? -Promise me.

Oh dear.

I promise, Betty.

Okay.

Mariana.

You look so pretty today.

Thank you.

I heard you do Tarot card readings.

Me? Readings?

Yes, you.

Well, yes.

But I swear that I only do it during my break,

not during work hours...

No, don't worry. That's not why I brought it up.

I was just curious.

Really?

Yeah.

Well.

Well, to be honest,

I do find astrology and fortune-telling fascinating.

-Me too. -Really?

Yes, it's very interesting,

but only the truly gifted can do it.

Not everyone's as talented as you.

No, I'm not talented. No way.

I just have an app that helps me.

Okay, but don't sell yourself short.

It's my understanding that you discovered

that Betty has a boyfriend.

Yes. And you know what else?

Betty's very reserved about her private life,

but the cards don't lie. And a man appeared in them.

A wealthy, powerful man close to her.

I also saw that he changes her life,

and she his.

Are you serious?

Mm-hm. Yes.

Incredible.

By the way, what's the name of that app?

It's right here.

You just say the word and we can set up a time

for me to give you a reading.

Hi, Mrs. Sofia.

You look so happy.

Here are the divorce papers

that you wouldn't take from my lovebug.

I'll leave them right here for you to look over and sign ASAP

because it's very urgent.

We have to get your assets separated

so that my lovebug gets most of everything.

Poor thing. Don't cry.

You want to stay in the house that we want to sell,

and that's not cool, ma'am.

What?

What?

What?

Now you die, bitch.

-I'm not going to die. -Yes you are.

-And I'm not a... -Hey!

A slow, painful death.

Stay out of it, you understand?

This is between flabby and me. Huh?

You're a filthy rat! You already...

Don't threaten me!

What the hell is going on here?

Nothing.

Mr. Smith, they're threatening me, and she almost hit me.

-Don't even, Sandra. -Sorry.

Thank you, Marcelita.

Thank you for what?

I want you in my office.

Don't worry, I'll handle it.

-Move, I said! Let's go. -Right.

Everything's fine.

All those secretaries hate me,

and I've never done anything to them.

-Is that right? -Yes.

You weren't handing Sofia divorce documents?

Yes, but because Efrain asked me to.

He's very scared of Sofia, and with good reason.

She's terrible to him.

Listen, Jennifer,

I won't meddle in anyone's private life,

but I will say that Sofia's really suffering.

She's alone now raising two kids.

No, no that's not my fault.

When I met my lovebug, that's what I call him, lovebug,

he was already single.

Completely single.

His marriage was already in shambles because of her.

I don't care about the reasons.

Do me a favor.

Mm-hmm.

I don't want to see you anywhere near

Sofia's workstation, okay?

And let the lawyers handle the legal matters, got it?

Yes.

-Jenny. -I understand.

If I see you bothering Sofia, I will personally find

another sizing model, you understand?

-Yes. -Yes?

Okay.

How's it going, Sofia? How are you?

Sofia, I don't mean to be insensitive or let alone a gossip,

but there's something I must know.

Have you heard anything about Betty's boyfriend?

Really? What have you heard?

Oh, you don't like him.

Is he bad? Is he... ...Sofia, is he that, that bad?

Is something wrong?

Sofia.

Uh, well...

Well, uh...

Thank you for the information.

Sit up.

Feel better and have a nice day.

Mr. Armando is convinced that you and I are dating.

That's really serious.

Why?

What a pain, huh?

Why can he have a girlfriend but you can't have a boyfriend?

No, Betty, you've got your charm too.

Very well hidden, but you've got it.

It's not that. Now I look bad to Mr. Armando

because I told the Squad that you're my boyfriend,

but what do I tell Mr. Armando?

That you're my friend.

So I come across looking like a liar.

Of course.

And now what? I come up short.

By trying to do more, I ended up doing less.

Thanks a lot, Betty.

And if he doesn't want to trust me, let him.

I don't give a damn.

And if you are a liar, Betty, you're a liar with a boyfriend.

Not without a boyfriend,

because with a boyfriend is just an another lie.

Is that right? You're so sexist.

I'm so sorry, Sofia.

Oh, ma'am, how can he take my house, my home?

What about my kids?

How could Efrain and this moron

want nothing more than to ruin my life?

It's eating me up.

Cry. Cry all you want. Get it all out of your system.

But you have to move, because feeling sorry for yourself

won't get you anywhere.

You have to take action.

Did you call the number for the lawyer I gave you?

Forgive me, Ms. Marcela but...

It's just that...

with what I make,

I couldn't afford ten minutes of that fancy lawyer's time.

Sofia, she's my friend. The work would be pro bono.

What?

Pro bono means free, like doing social work.

Really?

Look, I know you don't want to get divorced,

and it really upsets you to see your husband

with this Jennifer.

But the reality is that he doesn't love you.

I'm sorry to be so blunt, so honest.

Go home, get some rest and call Karen.

I know she'll help you keep your house.

In fact, she'll get that jerk to pay child support.

Go on.

Bertha, you look lovelier than ever today.

-Thank you very much. -How've you been?

Well, Mr. Ricardo. Thank you.

Just checking out the price increase for the potato chips.

Know what? It's your lucky day.

My treat. Pick whatever you want.

That way we can talk like the coworkers we are.

Thank you so much.

No need to thank me.

Bertha, tell me something.

Between us, do you know anything about Betty's boyfriend?

-Allow me to help you. -Thank you.

Of course, the other day we were...

No, I'm not allowed to talk about that.

Bertha, don't be like that with me.

You're gonna leave me hanging?

-Come. -Yes?

Get comfortable so we can talk peacefully.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

This is ultra secret information.

I didn't tell you this, but you heard it on Radio Hallway.

Not from me.

You can trust me because I also know how to keep a secret.

Betty has a boyfriend named Nicolas that she adores.

She told all of us.

He's very mysterious.

We've tried to find him on social media,

but he's nowhere to be found.

All we know is he runs his own company.

-Is that so? -Yes.

And he's wealthy.

He's rolling in it.

What I don't understand is why she doesn't want us

talking about him in V&M.

You think he might be eccentric, like weird,

like secret, or mysterious?

It's so unfair.

They all hate me because I'm pretty,

but it's not my fault I was born attractive and smart.

Yes.

Do you also hate me, Giovis?

-Me? -You hate me.

I feel like a helpless little child.

No, no, how could I hate you?

You're the most perfect creation

that Mother Nature has ever given us.

Really?

Who died here?

Oh, I see what's going on.

Why haven't you fixed the lamp in our workshop yet?

It hasn't worked in ages. You know what?

I'll have to speak to your supervisor

because to my knowledge, you get paid to be a handyman,

not emotional support.

Inesita, there's no need to kick the hornet's nest.

Your wish is my command.

I'll fix that lamp for you immediately.

Out.

I'm with you, but I have to abandon you for a moment.

I feel awful.

What a terrible start to the day.

If it were up to me I'd make it ten times more terrible.

Child, aren't you ashamed of yourself

for trying to take Sofia's kids' house from them?

Leaving two poor kids without a roof over their heads?

You don't get it, Mrs. Inesita...

Mrs. Inesita nothing!

Your crocodile tears won't sway me,

and if I have the misfortune

of having to look at you here every day

then at least earn your keep!

Here, start sweeping.

And no, this isn't your method of transportation, witch!

What's going on?

Bro.

-Confirmed. -What?

Beatriz has a boyfriend.

My hunch was right.

Betty told all the girls that she was in love.

Why would she lie to me?

I don't know.

Maybe she's covering Nicolas' back

and she doesn't want us suspecting him.

Listen, Mariana told me she predicted their relationship

when she read her cards.

Look, I downloaded it.

What? What did you download?

This.

That? I don't believe in that.

Why not?

Shall we try it?

We lose nothing by trying.

According to Mariana, this never fails.

No, no.

When were you born?

19...

Stop, don't input my information!

Bro, watch it. I want to see what you get.

Believe it or not, my fate is tied to yours.

Let's see, one more bit of information.

-Hit send. -No.

Hit send.

No.

You cheated.

Look.

That's your reading.

Hold on.

-What does it say? -What does it say?

Where does it start? Here?

You are entering a period of uncertainty.

Your past actions will have a profound impact on the future.

A deception and a lie will lead to a great loss.

Loss?

Ines!

Is Hugo around?

No, come in. He went to an event with Fabio

and won't be back until tomorrow.

Oh, good.

I wanted to ask for a favor.

If you can't do it, don't worry, you don't have to.

Mr. Armando's parents invited me to dinner.

No!

Congratulations, Betty.

That means you're doing your job well

and that you're quite the professional.

Thank you, but after what happened yesterday...

Yes, I heard.

Oh, sweetie.

Look, fashion...

Fashion is something very personal.

Your style is how you want the world to see you.

So nobody can tell you you're not dressed well.

I don't want to feel uncomfortable at the dinner this evening,

so I wanted to ask if you could be, like,

my image consultant or something like that.

Of course.

I can help you, but you know what else I'm going to do?

Give you clothes to borrow.

We have dresses back here, and I can assure you

that tonight you'll be very well dressed.

I promise you that. Now, follow me.

Let's go.

Thank you.

I don't know why my in-laws invited Beatriz.

There's no reason for her to be here.

Don't even bring it up.

All she's doing is uglying up the table.

She has to be put in her place, Marce.

If it were up to me, I'd send her home right now.

But think about it,

I can't make a scene with my in-laws right there.

Get that thought out of your head.

Don't forget that.

But she does have to be put in her place.

Otherwise Margarita will want you two

to become best friends, and that can't happen.

Ugliness is contagious, Marce.

Your hair will get frizzy and you'll grow a mustache.

What are you going to do?

I don't know. I'll think of something.

Ugly Betty will be sorry she accepted this invitation.

So, Betty,

where did you buy that suit?

In the same store as your dress for the fashion show?

-This one? -Uh-huh.

No, I picked out something I thought you would wear.

You must order the escargot, they're spectacular.

Let them order whatever they want.

We're here. To not order them would be a sin.

Pierre.

Hello, sir. How are you?

-How are you? -Well.

Hello.

-What will you be ordering? -The escargot.

The escargot is delicious.

He's ordering the house specialty,

just in case you don't understand.

Okay, thanks.

I can translate for you because I speak perfect French,

which I learned at DUI.

We had to speak it to get in.

Will anyone else have escargot with me

or do I have to eat them alone?

If you recommend them, then they must be really good.

Atta girl, Betty!

And what would you like to drink, miss?

He's asking what you'd like to drink, Beatriz.

Drink.

Thank you, Ms. Marcela.

I'll have a glass of water, please.

Wow! You speak French very well.

Where'd you learn to speak French?

Through an online course.

-Really? -I'm self-taught.

Well, congratulations. I'll go get your water.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

I didn't know you spoke French, and so well!

My father was very persistent about my learning languages

when I was little.

I also speak Italian and a little Mandarin.

It was on my résumé.

Mandarin must be really hard.

Well, a little.

It's just a matter of studying.

We great businesspeople have many flaws

but also one great virtue: never giving up.

Is everyone ready to order?

Hi.

What happened?

Hi.

Hello, my beautiful darlings.

I'm going to make you something really tasty,

how about some quesadillas?

Huh?

I'll get them started.

Kids, go take a bath while your mom and I make dinner.

Okay.

Because you kind of smell like an old goat.

And a bit like a piggy too.

Go on.

-One, two, and... -Three!

Sofia, what did we agree to?

Go easy on me, Charly. Today was not a good day.

Yes, Efrain told me what he did to you.

Idiot.

But you're a fighter, you're tough.

You can't set this kind of example for your kids...

looking all defeated like that.

I'm a fighter who lost WWIII, Charly.

Don't say such nonsense.

I know.

What if we ask your neighbor to babysit the kids tonight?

Have them stay with her.

How would I pay? I've spent everything...

Don't worry about the money. I'll take care of it, okay?

That's right, lovebug.

I was almost fired because of her.

She starts crying in front of everyone,

and makes me the bad guy.

Am I bad, lovebug?

No, of course not.

Am I bad?

No, I said no.

Then why do all of the flabby hag's coworkers

make me out to be the bad guy?

Don't worry about it. I'll talk to Sofia.

-No. -Yes.

I won't allow her to mistreat you.

No, lovebug. She's untouchable.

I was forbidden to even go near her.

That's how bad it is.

I think I'll go to Miami for that casting

and stay over there.

No, no, no! Not Miami.

I promise for real this time that I will divorce her.

And the house?

You can't let her win, lovebug.

I think you should get a lawyer

and force her to give us the house.

You have to fight for our future.

Yes, but lawyers are expensive.

I don't think all that is necessary.

It is necessary. What if she gets one?

Your ex might be a wrinkly old hag

but greed killed the cat.

Curiosity.

Who's curious?

Don't change the subject.

This is simple, dear.

Find a lawyer and make her sell the house

or I'm going to Miami.

No, not Miami.

I'll figure something out and I'll sell the house.

But you're not going to Miami. We have an agreement.

Thank you.

Complicated, isn't it?

I beg your pardon?

All this paraphernalia just to eat.

Yes.

I saw a video on YouTube tutorials,

but now that the escargot is in front of me, it's different.

Don't worry. Just copy me.

Okay.

Hugo showed me the sketch of the wedding dress.

It's beautiful!

-Isn't it? -Mm-hmm.

Hugo sketched two designs, and we ended up combining them.

Patricia saw the headdress. It's divine.

And when are you going to show off

that beautiful wedding dress?

Dad, we just presented the collection

and we just had a board meeting.

We haven't had time to sit down to discuss that.

What's there to discuss?

You've got it all.

You've got the dress and your love.

That's what matters.

Besides, while you're getting married,

Ricardo and Beatriz can be in charge of the company.

Are you alright?

Yes, I'm sorry.

The wine went down the wrong pipe.

No, Margarita.

Beatriz has many responsibilities,

not to mention her personal life.

She's got a boyfriend too, right?

She told me they were just friends.

-Isn't that right, Beatriz? -Uh-huh.

Uh-huh, what?

Why don't you answer? Is he your boyfriend or not?

Save it!

Oh, my God.

Sorry.

I apologize.

I just found out that I'm married to a superhero.

No, I mean a supervillain.

How interesting.

There's Spider-man.

Uh-huh.

-And the Penguin. -Uh-huh.

I'm married to Ratman,

the biggest rat

of all the rats! Super rat!

Let's toast to that.

Up, down, to the middle... down the hatch, never fiddle!

Down the hatch.

It's strong.

From here on out, Charly,

Sofia Montes is dead.

Now say hello to...

Sofia Peña.

Then let's not toast to death but to life!

Here's to Sofia Peña.

More like Sofia Penniless because I'm broke!

I am so sorry.

I didn't mean to ruin dinner. Sorry.

Don't worry about it. It was an accident.

It could've happened to anyone.

Yes.

Beatriz, tell us about your boyfriend.

Does he work at the company?

No, I don't have a boyfriend.

He's my best friend, Nicolas.

We've known each other all our lives.

See?

Beatriz doesn't have a boyfriend to distract her.

She can hold down the fort while you get married

and go on your honeymoon.

Mom, it's not that easy.

Oh, please.

When was the company ever an obstacle

for your father and me?

That was a different time.

A different time? Of course not.

It wasn't that long ago.

Love and work can be perfectly compatible.

Get married, give us grandkids and be happy.

In fact, I'd like to propose a toast.

To the future husband and wife.

I'd also like to toast

to formalizing your lovely relationship

once and for all.

And, with your permission, I'd like to set the date

for two months from now.

Yes! That's incredible!

Two months is perfect.

Dad, that's something Marcela and I should discuss.

Fine. You're right.

I apologize. We got carried away.

I promise you'll soon know the new wedding date.

Right, darling?

But make sure it really is soon. You'd make me so happy.

Marcela is the ideal woman for you.

Beatriz, Armando and Marcela have known each other

since they were kids.

Like Nicolas and you.

Our families have known each another for a long time.

Marcela's mother and I

fantasized about planning their wedding.

And look.

Us women, us mothers have a sixth sense.

We knew you'd end up together. You were made for each other.

I think my dream is coming true.

And you're going to help me, Beatriz.

Don't let my son work so much so he can dedicate time

to his wife, to Marcela.

Cheers, darlings.

To the future husband and wife.

Cheers.

Oh, no, did I miss something?

Oh, man, you're falling asleep.

You left me drinking alone.

No, no, no. I'm not sleeping.

Then...

Hold on to me.

Well, then?

Oh, Charly.

What?

What strong arms you have.

We have to work tomorrow, and you're talking nonsense.

Let's go, party's over.

Charly, I'd like to thank you

for everything you've done for my kids and me.

If you hadn't done that, I wouldn't be here.

You're the greatest, most important man in my life.

And if I weren't seeing two of you,

I'd do a cheer for one of you with a...

Come on, let's get you to bed.

To the stadium?

The stadium? No, your room!

Let's go.

Okay, straight ahead.

Almost there.

Watch out, watch out!

Move over.

That's a lot of stairs.

That's what's come into BAR.

What's going on?

Who is he and why is he at my desk?

Sorry, Mr. Armando. I didn't tell you.

This is Nicolas Ramos, my boyfriend.

I'd like to explain what's going on.

No, you don't have to explain anything.

He doesn't matter.

You and I achieved this.

Nicolas?

You told me there was nothing going on between you two.

Nothing except a secret relationship.

Betty, why did you lie to me?

Because I asked her to.

It was my idea for you to trust in your assistant

and hand everything over to her.

What are you signing, Betty?

Nico asked me to prove my love,

so I'm giving everything to him.

Not just V&M but BAR Fashion too.

You know how it is. One does anything for love.

What?

You lost everything, Armando Mendoza.

You and your family have nothing.

No, Betty, you can't do this to me!

I trusted you! No!

Betty!

Where?

You had another dream about Beatriz? Really?

Where are your pajamas?

No, wait.

No, no, come on.

Hang on, come on. Sit up, sit up.

No, wait.

Up we go.

Sofia.

-Charly. -Uh-huh?

Charly, I'm old and ugly.

I'm an old hag and that's why Efrain

wants nothing to do with me.

You're not old or ugly and you're not an old hag.

That idiot Efrain says a lot of dumb things.

Don't listen to him.

You are a very attractive woman

and any man with just a little smarts

would be incredibly proud to be with a woman like you.

But not Efrain.

No, I said a man with a little smarts,

and he doesn't have any.

You say the nicest things.

You're a poet, but none of that is true.

There's nothing left for me but to await my death.

I have nothing. I will never be a Jenny.

You just haven't seen yourself through a man's eyes.

You have a man's eyes. How do I look from in there?

I know that your self-esteem is a little low right now,

but you're very much appreciated

because you always say what you're feeling.

You're interesting,

and very sensual.

Charly!

I've been out here for 15 minutes knocking on the door like an idiot.

You may knock however you like. What do you want?

What do I want? We need to talk!

No, you said everything you had to yesterday.

I have nothing to say to you. Leave.

Sofia, are you going to let me in?

No.

You're not hiding something are you?

A thief always thinks everyone else is a thief.

Of course not.

Besides, you gave up on this house.

You gave up the right to come inside,

so, no, you cannot come in.

At least tell me

if you're going to sign the divorce papers.

I'll sign whatever you want, just get out of here.

What do you want me to do? Get the kids?

What do I do?

It's Efrain!

That hideous girl is much smarter than I thought.

She threw that snail at me on purpose

so that Roberto would like her and not me.

The point is that Margarita completed her mission.

Margarita invited Beatriz to dinner to put her in her place.

Uh... no, that's not what happened.

It was the other way around. She was treated like a god.

Listen, when you went to the restroom,

Margarita asked Beatriz to handle all of the affairs at the office

so that Armando would have more time for me.

It won't be easy, though,

because that woman is even in his dreams.

Can you believe he had another dream about her?

With the gargoyle?

I know, but it was a nightmare. The poor man woke up screaming.

Poor guy. You can't blame him.

If I had a dreamed about her I'd have the same reaction.

She's horrendous.

I was tossing and turning all night.

It's so strange.

Betty denied having a boyfriend to my mother.

Of course, bro, and she'll keep denying it

even if she appears in videos and compromising pictures.

Must be part of her plan.

-You're making me paranoid. -It's true.

Maybe something is going on and we're just not seeing it,

or nothing's going on but we are seeing something.

I'm driving myself crazy.

It's simple.

Let's see where we're at with her, and that should quell our fears.

But how?

Ask Betty to show you BAR's finances.

That way we'll see if everything's alright.

You're right.

Betty.

Yes, sir?

I need a report on BAR's finances.

Okay, when do you want it?

Right now.

Is there a problem?

Not at all. Everything's fine.

Oh, alright.

I'll ask Nicolas for it right now.

Excuse me.

Drop everything you're doing right now

and give me a full report on BAR's finances.

Mr. Armando just asked me for it.

Betty, wait a second.

I can't whip up a report just like that.

I need time.

You had the brilliant idea of sending me flowers

and Mr. Armando is all on edge.

Now he thinks my boyfriend is managing his money.

Oh, my!

So your boss is questioning my integrity?

No, but he has the right to look after for his interests.

And I my reputation, Betty.

Don't worry, though. I'll have that report ready.

I've never given anyone any reason to doubt me.

Thanks.

That's the last thing I needed!

But they're about to find out who Nicolas Ramos really is.

Quiet already! Be quiet!

Shut up! Show some respect!

I have to introduce the Behind the Scenes episode

of the most incredible and handsome character ever.

The Divine Hugo Lombardi. Check it out.

Hugo's an amazing person who hasn't realized his worth.

And perhaps he gives his love to those who least deserve it.

Did you see the car? Check it out.

What do I wish for Hugo Lombardi?

I wish for his designs to be a hit.

Without his designs, there wouldn't be a Hugo Lombardi

and he wouldn't have the money that Fabio needs.

There's a great energy on set. We have a lot of fun.

I was truly surprised by the production.

Custo Barcelona's designs are ingenious.

They highlighted Hugo's designs.

It was a privilege to work with Custo Barcelona,

who presented his designs in New York Fashion Week.

I wanted the designs to resemble the series.

They're very creative designs.

Let's try that again.

Why do you care?

Well, aren't you charming! Wow!

When you're a true actor,

kissing a man or a woman is all the same to you.

Kiss! Kiss!

♪ Love is in the air. ♪

Action!

I don't like violence, but I do enjoy a good, chaotic scene.

Daddy, we could...

I haven't forgotten about you, Yankee.

Wasn't that extraordinary?

See you next week on another Behind the Scenes,

here on Betty in NY.

I think Hugo's mean to me because he told me once

that he used to have hair like mine when he was younger,
