Armando?

Armando, where were you?

I'm right here.

I couldn't sleep so I went out for a jog

in the hopes I'd get sleepy, but I got caught in the rain

and now I'm cold and I'm shaking.

No, don't get dressed.

Come here.

I know how to warm you up.

Coffee is always good at this time.

Are you making fun?

No, it's delicious.

Thank you so much, Charly.

Really, thank you, thank you, thank you

for taking us, bringing us back, and paying for the prescriptions.

I don't know what I would've done without you.

What's important is that is Jonathan's okay.

Charly...

I'd like to apologize to you from the bottom of my heart.

I have no right to get you mixed up in my problems.

My life is so chaotic right now, and I feel like I'm dragging you

into things that you shouldn't have to worry about.

Don't worry.

I know you're going through a rough patch,

but I've always admired you.

It's thanks to you that we opened an extermination business.

If not for you, Efrain and I would be

salaried employees working for someone else.

You'd be going after roaches, but in the sewer drains on the street.

Yeah.

Those were some times.

We were so happy.

And young. Very young, especially me.

Do you miss Meche?

Yes, very much.

Sometimes I feel like a soldier that's lost a leg.

Like it's something I'll always miss.

I miss her a lot too.

She was my best friend and my confidante. My ride-or-die.

My how things have changed.

Yes, Sofia. Everything changes.

Except for our friendship.

I shouldn't have bet you. You're too good.

Daniel, did your brother-in-law, resolve his problem with that broker,

or were they duped?

It appears V&M had no dealings with that guy,

but I'll find out for sure at the next board meeting.

Daniel, I took the liberty of inviting

my new financial advisor and right-hand man.

He actually came to me from New York.

-Do you know each other? -No, I haven't had the pleasure.

Daniel Valencia, great to meet you.

Great, now that you're here, let's talk business.

Alejandro Dorante, the sexiest, cutest man in all Manhattan!

How are you?

It's me, Patricia Fernandez. Don't you remember me?

There you go. It's great to hear from you.

You'll never believe it, but I had a dream about you last night.

It was amazing, and I remembered all the amazing things we did together.

You're married? Again?

Oh! No, that's great. Congrats.

I'm sending you a big kiss.

How embarrassing.

Who do I call now?

This one.

Luigi?

Yes, how are you, sweetie? I'm so glad you remember me.

Where are you?

In Ireland? There's nothing there but grass.

When are you coming back to Manhattan?

Oh, okay.

Oh, no, there's got to be somebody in here.

I've got so many.

This one.

Yes, I remember this one was crazy about me.

Hi, Simon. How are you?

It's great to hear your voice too.

Yes, I'm fine. How are you? What's new?

What? You came out of the closet? What closet?

You're gay?

Yes, of course. Yay, rainbows!

Bye!

I don't believe this. When did it happen? He wasn't gay, or was he?

That's weird.

What's going on with the men in this world?

They're all gay. What happened to all the straight men?

Morning.

Ugh! No!

My eyes!

What's your problem, Patricia? You're not that desperate.

That should be the last guy you hook up with in all Manhattan.

Gross.

Right, honey? I loved it.

Hello, partner. We're here.

-Hello, partner. -About time.

Why the hell do you own a cell phone if you don't answer it?

I've been calling you all last night and this morning.

No, no, no. Sorry, Charly, but I won't let you talk like that

to my love bug. I turned off his cell phone.

That flabby old hag didn't stop bothering him all night.

-She's crazy. -Very.

That's why we turned everything off last night.

To not ruin our mini-honeymoon.

Did you stop to think that maybe we were calling you so much

because it could have been something urgent?

-Your son, idiot! -What?

He had a very high fever last night.

Which one? What happened? What is it? Where is he?

Enough, the worried dad act doesn't suit you.

Jonathan is at home with tonsillitis.

Tonsillitis?

I suppose Sofia's blaming me as usual.

I hope you didn't tell her where we were.

-Of course I told her! -Please, Charly!

I've had it with you two. I'm done being your accomplice.

You know what? You can relax.

Sofia's priority is her son.

Don't you forget that you have two kids

and you must always, always answer your phone.

Yes, you're right.

Forgive me, it won't happen again.

Please give me the keys to the truck.

Why--? Where are you going, honey?

Where am I going? To see my son.

I'm sorry, but you're not going to that house alone.

What if that wrinkly hag sees that you're alone

and decides to stab you because you're so nice?

I should be there just in case.

-Let's go. -Let's.

Give me a kiss.

Good morning.

Well?

Bro? I couldn't sleep a wink.

Tell me, is the gargoyle going to do it or not?

Don't call her that anymore. Okay?

Yes, she's going to do it.

Betty will fudge the numbers one last time,

but we won't ask her to do this anymore.

One last time? She's pushing her luck.

She's just as deep into this as we are.

And it's our fault.

I got her mixed up in our plans and convinced her.

She feels terrible about it, and she's right.

I met her father yesterday, and I realize now

what kind of family she comes from.

They're a very decent and honest family.

Her father is an ethical man. He reminds me of my dad.

Betty's just the same.

That man made me feel like a bum, and Betty feels worse.

So? Don't give me that.

Betty and her father aren't the innocent doves

you're making them out to be.

If your little troll is still that naive,

it's because she's too green and hasn't opened her eyes yet!

Give her a year.

In fact, give her six months and watch how she changes.

Everyone's the same when it comes to money.

Not everyone.

Sir.

What are you doing here, Mata? We can't be seen together.

I only came to tell you that things are going

swimmingly, marvelously, and incredibly well with him.

In fact, this week we begin buying the stocks

that you made sure to point out to him.

Great. And he doesn't suspect anything?

Not at all. Quite the opposite.

He thinks I'm far too prudent, conservative,

smart and handsome.

Alright, Mata.

I'll just say it's a medium-risk investment,

though it is the best time to buy.

I'll tell you, he thinks this is the deal of his life.

Very good, Mata. Good job.

See? I told you.

We had to maintain this working relationship.

We're both going to benefit from this, you'll see.

-Of course. -Now get out of here.

Go.

Make yourself at home.

Love bug, you didn't tell me how big this house was.

And it's really pretty.

-Yeah. -I love it.

The kitchen is over here.

There's a breakfast area.

Don't you dare touch that!

That was my mother's and if you touch it, I swear I'll cut your hand off.

How dare you, Efrain?

Don't start, Sofia. I came to see my children.

I'm their father and I have the right.

You also have obligations, which you're not meeting.

How'd you get in?

What do you mean?

Did you forget that this is my house too?

Don't get it twisted.

This was my parents' and my brother's house,

and now it's my kids'.

Sofia, please. We came in peace.

Can I just see my kids without fighting?

Do it for them.

Five minutes, Efrain.

Five minutes.

Yay! I get to meet my stepchildren.

Betty.

I wrote this letter for you. Please read it.

No, but...

Mr. Armando, this document has your signature on it.

It incriminates you and you're copping to everything.

Why are you giving me this?

That's right, and it's my statement of guilt.

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

It frees you of any responsibility.

But it wasn't like that.

You never forced me to do anything,

and I bear responsibility in this too.

I don't understand why you're giving me this.

That document is yours.

I aim to continue with my business plan.

If you help me, obviously.

-But Mr. Armando-- -But nothing.

This is proof of how much I trust you, okay?

Put it someplace safe

because that's your get out of jail free card if anything goes awry.

I don't need this.

But the justice system does. You've said it many times.

I can't control the law, and the people I least want to hurt

are you and your family. Therefore...

Let's hope you never need to use it.

You did what?

No. No, you can't be serious.

You gave Betty a statement of guilt?

Yes. She deserves it.

It's the only way to calm her down.

Couldn't you have thought of something less risky?

Why not give her a loaded gun instead?

Betty's sticking her neck out for us.

That's her problem, not ours.

If I didn't know you, I'd think you were losing your mind.

And over that woman. Focus, Armando.

You're giving her too much importance. She's just an employee.

She's an assistant like so many others but with curly hair, braces, and glasses.

She's an assistant!

Armando Mendoza.

I think you've made a mistake.

You know I'm not the kind of woman who changes her mind

over some beautiful flowers.

Especially if I was lied to.

Not even if they come with a sincere apology?

I'd take it as a lovely gesture,

but in this court of law, you're already guilty.

You lied to me.

And here I thought we were friends.

I hope we continue being friends.

Everybody makes mistakes.

I never thought my decisions would turn out so poorly.

Inexperience?

You're going to play that card with me?

I thought this was a sincere apology.

You should've just sent chocolates instead.

I was an idiot.

I thought I was smarter than everyone else and I didn't know what to do.

Cata, I almost ruined everything.

V&M isn't just me.

It's my parents' legacy, my family's legacy.

Keep going, you're on the right track.

Cata, I need you for the next leisurewear collection.

Everything is all set, and we're using the finest fabric.

I promise that this time there won't be any surprises.

And I'm supposed to just believe you?

Go see for yourself and check it out.

If you're not convinced, then we won't work together.

Cata.

I don't know, Armando.

It's really hard to trust again.

Especially in a man.

I swear there'll be no lies this time.

This collection is very important to me and to V&M.

You're the best. Please help me.

Hi, Felix. How are you? It's been so long.

Of course I heard about your divorce. I'm so--

What do you mean you remarried?

Nobody gets remarried, dummy!

Oh, my God.

Patty.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

I'm down, can't you see?

Down? What does that mean?

That I don't feel well.

-Is there anything I can help you with? -No.

Because I feel so alone.

-Oh, no. -No, don't touch me.

The thing is, I need love,

but I feel I'll never have it because a dreamer like me

isn't made for this world.

I understand completely because I feel the same.

Felt the same. Past tense.

Until I met my love bug, who I'm crazy about.

Tell me something.

Let's suppose you weren't with your love bug.

How would a woman like you get a man?

Well, not get a man like you get them.

-How would you get a man to love you? -Easy.

There are on-line dating apps on which you can find any man.

Really?

Of course. Especially here in Manhattan.

There are so many handsome studs walking around

with pecs that you just want to slap around.

But the most important thing is that they've got

a lot of money.

Of course, you have to be careful,

because many of them are only after...

-What? -A little of the old in and out.

-You mean sex. -Yes.

Awful.

It's like I tell Marce.

"See, Marce? All men are the same. They're filthy dogs."

-That's right. -Sex.

Exactly.

Really, just for sex? Show me that app.

Okay.

This app is called The Potent Man.

-What? -Yeah, check out these muscles.

And have you seen those buns?

How do I download it?

Mr. Ricardo!

What are you doing here?

Beatriz.

Your office has the nicest view. And I love the vibe. So cozy.

Come in and get comfy. Make yourself at home.

Seeing as how I'm here, I'd like to offer my help

with whatever you need for the report for the board meeting.

No, don't worry. I've got everything ready.

I've received every department's report.

Are you sure that's it and not something else?

No. No, that's it.

By the way, Armando spoke to me and it sounds like

you're having doubts about your support for him.

Yes, I just think that all this weird financial activity

might be normal for you two,

but for me it's more delicate than that.

It's delicate for all of us, Beatriz.

At this point, the three of us are implicated,

and if anything leaks out, all three of us are guilty.

That's why I just wanted to set boundaries.

Is that all?

Boundaries?

Beatriz, I don't know what kind of bubble you're living in,

but right now the only boundary is saving V&M without anyone catching us.

We've burned all our bridges, and there's no going back.

I'm surprised Romina isn't here.

You and I can take advantage of that.

Remember, we still have to have our honeymoon.

What are you doing?

Hugo, you're going to watch the movie with us?

-Excuse me. -Didn't you have an event?

I was just about to tell you.

Romi decided to stay with us, right?

I saw it was going to rain so I chose to stay with you two.

I love this movie!

Goodlooking14, my first catch of the day on the app.

-Are you Blondechick? -Uh-huh, that's me.

My name is...

I don't need your name. I need something else.

Come on, Goodlooking.

Dang, love bug. You've got knots the size of boulders back here.

Hey, love bug,

how much is the house that your ex lives in worth?

You did mention the real estate market being on the rise.

I don't know.

Sorry.

I'm only bringing it up because my cousin is a realtor.

He could help us get the house appraised.

What for?

What do you mean? I thought you'd like to know.

Home prices in that area have really gone up.

So, tell me, is the house in both your names?

Yes. I bought Sofia's brother out.

What are you thinking?

Nothing. Well, there's a lot on my mind.

Like that you're really kind and generous.

I'm surprised you think of your whole family

before you think of yourself.

That's why I love you so much. Give me a kiss.

Let me get in here.

-Armando. -Huh?

I'm worried about you and the company.

You're not well. You're stressed and acting all weird.

You're having nightmares. I hear you at night.

-Everything okay at V&M? -Yes, everything's fine.

The board meeting is in two weeks and I didn't know how we'd be.

Fortunately, the collection was a hit.

What about the money they stole from you in Miami?

We got that back.

Not all of it. Just some. But it didn't affect us.

Don't worry, we've got a new strategy.

But you ran out of money for payroll, which hadn't happened in years.

That was a one-time thing and not a big deal.

Are you going to tell the board all this?

No.

Imagine how Daniel would react. We should keep it a secret.

It's not right to lie.

-I know. -We have to tell them the truth.

No, I'd be risking my presidency. Relax, I just need time, okay?

This is the last time I hide anything from the board, okay?

It's not right. They're our family.

I know.

What?

Was Mr. Armando drunk or high when he gave you this?

It's the only explanation for this.

Neither, Nicolas. Don't you get it?

What? That he's manipulating you?

Or are you going to go by what's written here?

He's taking the blaming for everything. He's proving that he's a good man.

Betty, why are you so smart and so pretty?

I mean, so charming.

Mr. Armando has made you commit many crimes.

He's destroying his family.

He created a shell company with V&M money.

The last thing I see there is goodness.

Because you don't know him like I do.

Right, those are the sensibilities of a woman in love, not a finance expert.

Well, I see things differently.

That's too bad.

He has my complete trust.

No, Betty. Betty!

What are you doing?

TWO WEEKS LATER

Come on second line!

Come on, I've been waiting for ten minutes!

Two weeks and I haven't gotten pregnant?

Men aren't even good for that anymore.

What is this?

Fabi, what is this mess?

-Romina's been cooking. -Cooking?

|It looks like she stabbed a chupacabra to death.

Seeing my kitchen like this is going to drive me crazy.

-Yes, it's a disaster, chubs. -Don't call me chubs!

But wait until you taste the pork loin Romi prepared.

I promise it'll be worth every dirty dish in this kitchen.

Smell it.

-It's not ready yet. -Yeah, I see that.

It's slow cooking.

Fabi,

I know Romina is your sister, and she's very special to you,

but she's been here a long time, don't you think?

And you and I...

are newlyweds.

We need our privacy.

I told her that.

I told her you're busy with your dresses

and that there isn't much time for us to be together.

But she's very close to me.

I don't want you to tell her to leave,

but I want her to leave.

Another day of her here will drive me mad.

I'll tell her, I promise.

And clean all this up.

Why isn't this coming out?

These hangers should come out easier because I said so!

Besides, your clothes have to...

Honey, careful, don't fall.

I hurt myself because of you!

You think both our clothes fit in this closet, but they don't.

We need a bigger closet and a bigger house, darling.

Another house because of a closet?

-Yes! -No, darling.

That's bad business in times like these.

The price of building materials has gone up.

It's cheaper to buy a tuna fishing boat than a house!

Really?

We have to wait one or two years more until the crisis has passed.

Hey, give me a goodbye kiss.

No, wait there. You're cheap.

You don't want to spend anything.

You know what, though? It's fine.

No hanky-panky for you until we leave this place.

What's that got to do with it? Don't say that.

Like I said, no hanky-panky till we leave.

No hanky-panky? No horizontal shuffle?

That's too extreme.

Betty, what do you have for me on the report?

It's almost finished.

I just need to include the on-line sales and that's it.

Perfect. We've had good sales in that area,

so that should balance out the numbers.

Only on paper, because it won't make much of a difference

in the total balance.

Leave it like that. We have no choice.

And we'll just pray that everything works out.

Speaking of prayers, who's presenting the report?

Me, I think.

But I need you to explain to me everything very clearly.

We've been reviewing your case very carefully

and we'll need to adjust the price we gave you.

What?

Why?

You agreed on a price with Betty.

You should respect that.

Nic, we're dealing with a big company.

They have big-time lawyers and can drag cases on for years.

That's true, but you said we had a chance to win.

Of course, but we need to hire more people.

Our objective is to work on this case 24/7.

Which is exactly what V&M's lawyers will be doing.

That's right. While we're sleeping in our beds,

they're preparing an army of lawyers and interns to catch us napping.

Is that what you want, Nic?

One line, not pregnant.

Whose pregnancy test could this be?

-Oh my God! -Don't touch.

Why not, Hugo?

Look at the fabrics, the designs.

They're spectacular.

Hey, put it back. Don't touch!

-Why not? -I know you're restless.

You've got a festive uterus,

and horizontally speaking, you've been very accessible.

That's why you're going to have a swollen womb.

Tell me, who put a bun in your oven?

How do you know?

The divine Hugo is a designer and a winner.

The divine Hugo also hears all the company gossip. Who was it?

I'd tell you, but since you won't let me touch your designs, I won't.

It's my secret. Bye.

You put on that animal print and you turn into a savage.

Who could the father be?

Lombardi girls, help me clean the dress this girl sullied with her paws.

Please.

No!

Nobody's touching anything.

Please, Bertha, give us our food.

I have a lot to do! Please!

No, not until I get a confession out of whoever took the pregnancy test

I found in the restroom.

You would've kept it to yourself if I hadn't pressured you.

Aura Maria, was it you?

-Me? -Yes!

How could you think that after all I suffered with my son?

I always, always use protection.

Sandra?

For God's sake, Bertha, don't be ridiculous.

Marianita?

Don't look at me.

I haven't had sex in so long I'm practically a virgin.

Sofia.

What?

Who would the dad be? The Holy Spirit?

Watch it. Watch it.

Relax, Betty, you pass.

Then it has to be Ms. Marcela's or Patricia's.

And based on what I saw, she's not pregnant.

You're becoming obsessed with Patricia. That's enough, Bertha.

She's lying to us, and I'm going to prove it.

Do you know who the father is yet?

I don't want to talk about that.

It hurts too much.

You know you can always count on me for anything.

It doesn't matter what it is.

Oh, Marce, what did I do to deserve a friend like you?

Heaven must really miss you because you're an angel.

Can I borrow $10,000?

Have you lost your mind? I'm not lending you $10,000.

Being pregnant is really expensive.

I'm spending all my money on folic acid.

I'm not an ATM, Patricia.

I loaned you $1,000 the other day.

I didn't want to say anything so as not to worry you,

but I have major debt.

Oh, Patricia.

How could you be asking everyone for money?

They took advantage of me.

I wanted to pay them back, but with all the interest they charged,

I couldn't.

Let's do this.

I'll handle it.

Introduce me to the person to whom you owe the money,

and I will personally pay them back.

You and I can sort it out later on.

Know what? I forgot to send an email.

Thanks for the salad, Marce.

It can't jump from 2% to 16%.

There was a natural progression.

Hey.

Hi.

You have an urgent call from the bank.

Sorry, Sofia, but Beatriz is very busy with this report.

Tell them she can't talk right now.

They say it's really urgent.

Something about being behind on a loan payment.

Yes, thanks, Sofi.

Tell them I'll call them soon.

We're working on something pressing.

-You sure? -Yes.

Okay.

How are we going to pay?

It's time, Betty.

We can't wait for the bank and creditors to destroy our company.

Tell your lawyer to begin the seizure.

All set. Here's the property plan and equipment.

Are you sure this is necessary?

Of course.

That will assure you get total control of V&M.

Okay, I promise I'll return everything as soon as possible.

Don't worry, and don't feel bad.

I'm confident that both of us will get out of this in less than a year.

That bottle blonde's fooling everyone except me.

Pregnant? Sell that someplace else.

Yeah, someplace else.

I swear I'm about to get the test from the restroom.

I wonder if she'll defend her lie then.

That'd be tougher, right?

Yes, it would be, but I would do it.

-Yeah? -Hey,

why are you just agreeing with everything I say?

-Me? -Yeah, you.

No.

What's the problem?

-The truth? -Yeah, the truth.

-Promise you won't get upset? -I won't get upset.

I don't know, but I feel like you're jealous of Patricia.

Jealous?

What could I possibly be jealous of that woman about?

I don't know...

That maybe she's magically pregnant

while you've been trying to get pregnant for years.

Look, all she had to say was that she was going to be a mom

and everybody forgets all the crap she was doing to us.

Fine, I won't do anything.

Maybe that string bean really is going to have a baby.

I lost my appetite.

Bertha?

See you later.

Wait.

I didn't mean anything by it.

What line of credit?

I was sizing up the banks to see if we'd get money

if we needed to renovate the equipment.

All of the equipment have warranties.

Why do you want that money?

I just told you. You're all...

Give me a moment.

I'm working on an estimate for a customer.

This had better not be another one of Jenny's ideas.

You might not be able to think clearly,

but I won't let the company go bankrupt

because of that woman's greed.

Jenny isn't asking for anything,

so please get those ideas out of your head and let me work.

Nico, the time to seize has come.

Okay, boss, but first promise me

that now that you're going to be a multimillionaire

you won't stop being my friend.

Nicolas, are you kidding me with this nonsense?

This is serious.

Besides, you know I'm not getting anything out of this.

It's just a financial transaction.

A guy can dream, Betty.

You're my only wealthy friend.

The new owner of V&M.

Hello!

Today's Behind the Scenes will be very special

because you'll get to see some bloopers

and how much fun we have while filming the show.

I love these types of scenes. I just love them.

He eats so much.

Cut!

Who do you think is more suited to lead V&M?

The tea's too strong for you?

Sorry.

Just a moment.

And we're rolling.

No, wait, wait. She was released thanks to me.

Don't laugh.

I'll be your assistant for the day.

-Betty? -Were you dreaming about Betty?

Hey.

Nico!

What? Where did you come from?

Open up!

Hey!

It opened on its own.

Armanda, the bearded one.

I threw my phone in the trash.

What'd you think?

As you can see, we have fun on set too.

See you next week on another Betty en NY: Behind the Scenes.

I have feelings for you.

And I for you.
