Tell Armando doesn't have another woman.

When Mr. Armando tells you he's with me, he's telling the truth.

Hello, ladies. Am I interrupting?

Yes! You are!

I don't want to do that to Ms. Marcela.

Then we have no choice. If we get back together,

I'll break things off with Marcela.

PREVIOUSLY

I saw you French kissing that dude!

What's wrong with that? I'm happy!

Can't ugly people like you and me fall in love?

I didn't think you'd be back after our last conversation.

I won't leave... as long as Armando needs me.

Since when are you two on a first name basis?

Your assistant has forgotten her place!

You're not jealous of Beatriz, are you?

Surprise!

You have to spend Betty's birthday with her.

Women don't forget that sort of thing.

Let's go out to dinner tonight.

Yes! I don't have any plans!

We have a party!

-Where? -When?

Today, seven o'clock, Betty's house.

What? I want you to go,

but could you do something for me?

Yeah.

Leave before ten o'clock so I can meet up with my boyfriend.

Also, don't say in front of my dad

that Nicolas is my boyfriend.

Today is Beatriz's birthday.

And what's that got to do with us?

Well, her parents planned a get together

and I was planning on stopping by.

Tonight, Armando is meeting up with his lover.

-Know which excuse he gave me? -Which?

That he was going to stop by Beatriz's house

because it's her birthday.

Tonight, I'll find out who Armando's lover it.

Did you see them? Are they with anyone?

They're alone, drinking at the bar.

I'm meeting up with my boyfriend, remember?

Help me end the party before ten.

Girl, don't worry.

When we first talked about this, I never thought we'd take this so far.

Who would've thought Betty would be so demanding?

Oh! Now that's soul!

My queen, Aurita... when you're holding me in your arms,

I feel like I'm being welcomed into the kingdom of heaven.

You're so corny, Giovas.

It's just a sincere heart expressing itself, my queen.

I also want you to know that what happened last night

was to me, unforgettable and extraordinary.

Yeah? Giovas, I think...

First you gave me a rose and now you're telling me all this.

I think you're a little too intense.

No way, babe!

It's just that when your intentions are honest and pure,

you shouldn't be afraid to express yourself.

Giovas, look.

I had a lot of fun with you too, but I'm seeing someone else.

I'm only telling you because I don't want to hurt you.

You're my friend and I care about you. We're just friends, okay?

Well, it's good to be honest and to know where we stand.

I love this song!

Sweet party, huh?

Hey, Aura Maria sure can move.

Did you see us dancing? We were on fire!

I have great moves too.

Come here!

Sandri!

Wild! Someone's having fun.

What are you doing?

That girl's really chowing down.

We're going to run out of food at this rate.

Don't worry. I'll get some more.

What's wrong, Betty? You don't look happy.

I'm just not used to parties

or having this many people around the house, Inesita.

I can help you with that.

I plan all of Hugo's events and I know how to deal with people.

You relax. Sofi, I'm so glad you're here!

You should celebrate your birthday more often. This is a great par-tay!

Don't drink too much, though.

Excuse me.

Don't hold me hostage. I have to take this important call.

Hello?

No, I can't talk right now.

I'm at a friend's birthday party.

Oh, I had a lot of fun too.

Yes!

You know what? I'll call you back, okay?

Okay.

An even bigger one for you.

Who were you talking to?

Um... the... plumber.

Yes, the plumber who's stopping by the house tomorrow

because I need him to clean out some pipes.

Look, Sofia Peña,

I can't stand being denied food or... gossip!

You obviously weren't talking to a plumber.

-Okay. -Okay.

-Okay. -Go on, then.

It was "Efrain-sufferable."

Lies!

Don't insult my detective skills, Sofia.

I know it's another man.

You can either tell me the truth

or our friendship will be irretrievably broken.

You decide.

It's go time.

I... I want to get this over with already.

Look, just focus on her.

Focus on her.

Think of her when you're with Betty.

Look, imagine kissing her or whispering in her ear.

Enough! Quit wasting time. Let's leave already.

-Ready? -Ready.

Come on.

What happened in there? Why is everyone running away?

It's because of the rats!

Rats? What rats?

The ones I said were there so I could get away.

Why would you do that, Patricia?

There they are! Armando can't get away!

He can't get away after what I've been through today!

Okay, okay!

You have to understand. There's no one else!

You're betraying me by not telling me who he is.

I already told you there isn't anyone.

Please stop coming up with wild stories.

Oh, I get it now.

The new underwear, your smile, your lack of appetite.

Girl, please stop. Really. I'm asking nicely. Please stop.

-What? -You're making me nervous.

Relax.

You don't have to tell me. I don't need you to.

I'll find out on my own.

I have to go, so come sing "Happy Birthday"

like you promised you'd do or you won't get cake!

Move it, girl. Shake it.

Sweetie, the music is too loud.

I hope the neighbors don't complain.

I know. I have an idea!

Let's ask them to sing "Happy Birthday."

People usually leave after that.

-Good idea. -Okay. I'll tell them.

Guys! Hey!

Let's sing so we can have cake!

♪ Happy birthday to me! ♪

♪ Happy birthday to who? Me! ♪

Mariana!

I asked you to help me and you're not helping me at all.

Have Nicolas come over so you can get it over with.

In fact, why don't you tell your dad?

Mariana!

Betty, what should I do?

What is this horrendous place, Marcela?

I mean...

Could this be where Armando's lover lives?

If it is, then he has definitely lowered his standards.

How could he leave you for some slut from Jackson

or whatever this place is called?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves or jump to conclusions.

We'll wait and see.

What matters is that we remain unseen.

No, what matters is not getting mugged. Have you seen this place?

I'm sure more than one episode

of America's Most Wanted has been filmed here.

Good thing I came prepared.

You're so over the top. That's not necessary.

Unnecessary, Marcela? We need ten of these

and an arsenal of fragmentation grenades.

Look at this place! It's like the Bermuda Triangle.

We could go missing here. It's scary.

Betty, I'm here.

Oh!

Marce, Armand's being kidnapped!

No, that's not it! Take a better look.

I think they know each other. Who is that man?

How are you, Armando? What are you doing here?

All of your employees are inside.

We're going to sing "Happy Birthday" to Betty.

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

Why aren't you inside?

I was going to head inside after I parked the car.

Don't worry about that. You can keep it here.

This is a nice neighborhood.

-It'll be fine. -Sure?

Why isn't your fiancé with you?

-Who? Marcela? -Yes.

Oh, she wasn't feeling well. Yes, that's why.

Come on inside. Nothing ever happens here.

Well, there's Tiger. He's a bit of a thug, but...

-I already spoke to his parents. -Tiger?

-Do you know the "Happy Birthday" song? -Yes, I do.

It's your time to shine, Patricia.

Get out there and find out what's going on.

What? Are you crazy?

What's wrong with you? You want me to get killed?

We didn't come all the way here to leave empty-handed.

I can't be seen or recognized, Patricia.

Sure, let them kill the blonde bombshell first.

How cliché! Just like in the movies.

Patricia, please do it for me. I'm your best friend.

I'll keep an eye on you from here.

Take your spray. Please do it for me. Please, please...

Enough, Marcela! Alright!

Just know I'm doing it because I really value our friendship...

and because from now on you can't say "no" to me again

when I ask you for help.

-I promise. -Alright. I'll do it.

Betty!

Get over here!

Betty! Betty!

Get low! Get low!

Come on, girl!

Look who I ran into!

Ow!

Good evening, everyone.

Mr. Armando.

-Get low! -Chofis!

What?

Mr. Armando, it's an honor to have you here

on such a wonderful occasion.

On the contrary. I really care about your daughter.

Happy birthday, Betty.

Thank you, Mr. Armando. It's so nice to have you here.

Where's your fiancé, sir? Isn't she here with you?

She couldn't make it, but she thanks you for the invitation.

How kind of her.

Mr. Armando, there are warm tamales in the kitchen.

Let's get you one. You'll love them.

They're really tasty.

Oh, Mr. Armando is here. How cool!

No?

No, no, no.

That is so nasty!

Even the dogs here are gross!

Marce!

No?

What is it? What are you looking at?

I could've sworn I saw that blonde bimbo but...

Yucky, yucky, ick.

Marce!

Well? Who was Armando with? Who was that man?

I think... he's the gargoyle's dad.

Which means Armando was telling the truth.

And this is the bat's cave

and they're celebrating her birthday.

Really?

And here I thought Armando was seeing someone else.

There's something wrong with me. Hugo's right.

I need a professional to help me rein in my jealousy. This is not healthy!

The only help you need is mine!

I mean, think about it.

We already know Beatriz covers for Armando.

This could just be a front.

Maybe they're all waiting for his lover to arrive.

Of course not, Patricia.

He wouldn't come all the way out here just to see another woman.

Why not? Think about it.

It's the perfect plan!

No one would question why Armando's here.

You said it yourself. That other woman is very smart.

-Really? -Uh-huh.

What's that smell?

Is that you?

Well, I stepped in dog poop, Marce.

Yuck!

That smells worse! Are you trying to kill me?

No, you're trying to kill me. Get out and find out more.

Bye, bye.

Marcela! Fine, I'm going.

Awful.

Dog poop. Gross.

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

Yay, Betty!

Wait! Did you make a wish?

-Uh-huh. -Yes?

Yes, and it already came true.

How cute!

This is the best birthday ever!

Blow out those candles!

Betty, on behalf of everyone who works at V&M,

I'd like to wish you a very happy birthday.

You mean so much to us all.

Take a bite! Take a bite!

-So? -Hey, baby!

Heaven must be sending angels to Earth.

And idiots too.

Hey, what's the rush, honey?

You even smell great.

-You're not from around here, are you? -Obviously not!

Wait, wait. We just want to talk to you, cutie.

Go to hell, you uppity punk.

Leave her alone or I'll call the police.

Where did this hottie come from?

Do you need help getting around?

Look at that, two of you for the four of us.

Okay, that's enough. Party's over. Enough.

You had your drinks, you had your food.

You had your fun, but now it's time to go.

We can't leave yet, Inesita.

The party's just getting started.

The wave!

Plus, we have yet to make fools of ourselves or puke.

And we won't get the chance to because we're leaving.

Why?

Mrs. Julia, Betty, thank you for your hospitality,

but it's time for us to go. We have work tomorrow.

Yes, Ms. Ines is right. The work never ends.

I'm leaving too.

Don't go just yet, sir!

I'll wrap up some tamales for you to take to your fiancé.

-I want some too. -Can I have some too?

There's plenty to go around.

Thank you, ma'am.

See you at the corner of 8th, babe.

Mr. Armando!

Come on.

We're in luck!

Where would you like us to take you, girls?

I'll tell them.

I'm not going anywhere with you!

What are you doing here?

It's okay!

Where do you think you're going?

Stay right there. You're not going anywhere.

You're not going anywhere. I'm calling the police!

Great, then they can arrest these thugs!

Let's see how you like it!

Shut up, Patricia, or Armando will find us!

So now you're scared?

You gonna run?

Right in front of the couch.

Right there. That's fine.

Girls, remember what I told you about my boyfriend?

-Yes. -I want to go.

Help me out. I don't know what to do.

Don't worry. Just follow my lead.

Okay.

Mr. Demetrio, we'd like to ask you a little question.

Do you think Betty could go out dancing with us for a bit?

It's a little late for a lady like you to be out, honey.

Mr. Demetrio, it's her birthday.

We'll have her back after two songs.

Come on.

Fine, you have my permission. One thing, though.

Only two songs.

Okay, okay.

-Yes, two. -Two.

Thank you so much. Thank you for everything.

Bye!

Take care!

Listen, they attacked us and we acted in self-defense.

That's not true.

Officer, we greeted them and that lunatic attacked us! Look, look!

It's true. We were just being polite and she almost killed us!

That's not true! It was self-defense!

Officer, please. Look at them.

What could people like them

possibly be doing talking to people like me?

-Patricia, shut up! -No, Marcela!

He has to know!

Being poor doesn't give you the right to be a criminal.

Shut up, I said!

We're going to figure this out at the station.

Yes, let's go down to the station. Have them locked up.

They're a menace to society.

-You have the right to remain silent. -Silent? Why?

What are you doing? Marcela, what is he doing?

-I told you to be quiet! -No, no. Marcela!

I can't go to jail! Help me, please!

-Thank you, thank you! -It was them!

-Marcela! -You bitch!

Marcela!

Marce! Don't leave me here!

Marce!

Marce, don't let them take me or take pictures of me!

Well, I'm off. Good night!

Take care!

Have a great night, Mr. Armando.

See you tomorrow.

You're so handsome! Hottie!

Oh, girl!

We almost didn't get permission.

Bye!

Two songs.

Betty, your big night starts now.

Girls, I'm super excited and nervous.

Don't be nervous, Betty.

If you're wearing your animal print,

you'll be the queen of the night.

Girls, thank you for everything and for coming by.

This was the best birthday ever!

But it's late. See you tomorrow at the office.

-Bye! -No, forget that.

We'll wait with you till Nicolas gets here.

It's about time we meet him.

Yes, yes. Come on, Betty!

What's the big secret? We all want to meet Nicolas.

Or is Nicolas so hot you don't want us to meet him?

You have no shame!

No, that's not it.

We just agreed to meet elsewhere.

Oh!

No, no. We're not leaving your side.

We'll wait here for Nicolas to show up, right, girls?

No, no, girls. That's enough for today.

Betty has a date with her boyfriend

and we shouldn't meddle in her private life.

Oh, alright. Betty, promise us something.

Tomorrow you have to tell us absolutely everything!

There's my hubby! My bonbon.

-Who's coming with us? -I am!

Your wife is here!

-Bye! -Take care!

Inesita, why don't you come with me?

Let's go out dancing!

Oh, alright.

Honey, would you like me to take you home?

No, Giovas. I'm not going home yet.

I'm going to keep partying.

But...

Over here! Taxi!

We're leaving.

Yoo-hoo!

Bye, girls!

Thank you!

-Wow! -Bye!

Let me buy you a couple of beers.

-Come on. -Alright.

You got it.

Betty, thank you for inviting us to your party.

-It was very cool. -You're welcome, I had fun too.

-Happy birthday, Betty! -Thank you.

-Bye, guys! -Bye!

They'll help you get inspired tonight.

Look, take one of these. They won't let you down.

You'll be the best birthday present she's ever received.

Tonight, Beatriz will be yours.

Umm...

-Hey. -Hmm?

Sorry.

I didn't think my dad would drag you inside

or that the party would last that long.

Don't worry about that, Betty.

Today is your birthday and we'll do whatever you want.

-Whatever I want? -Uh-huh.

That's cool.

I... can't stop thinking about our celebration.

Neither can I.

You'll regret this!

-You don't know who I am. -Shut up.

No, they need to hear this!

They need to know who I am and who you are!

My best friend owns one of the biggest

fashion companies in Manhattan.

Patricia, shut up! Stop making a scene.

Do you want this to be a trending topic tomorrow

and for everyone to know what happened?

Settle down or I'm leaving.

You can't leave! You can't leave me here!

It's your fault I'm here!

-My fault? -Yes, Marcela!

I told you we couldn't go into that neighborhood,

that it was dangerous but you wouldn't listen.

Look where we're at, and look who's around us.

Scary stuff. Horrendous!

Where are you going?

I'm calling Daniel.

Maybe he can help get you out tonight.

No, no. Please don't tell your brother.

I'd be so embarrassed if he found out I was here!

Okay, okay. Calm down.

Then how am I supposed to get you out of here, Patricia?

-Give them money. -Money?

I can't do that, Patricia.

Don't be so cheap!

-A little will do. -Come with me, please.

I don't want to!

-Come on. -Marce!

-I know. -I need you to cooperate, ma'am.

-Where are you taking me? -Easy on her, please.

-Marce, don't leave me! -Bye. I'm right here.

Hey.

You smell so good.

I love that perfume I got you.

Where are you?

Right here, honey.

Yes, your body's here, but your mind isn't.

Can't you see me?

Why don't we continue celebrating our anniversary?

Wait, I'm researching something very important.

What are you researching?

Loose ends, honey. Things that don't add up.

Something made me very curious today.

That's worse than being left in the dark altogether.

I need to solve this mystery no matter what.

You can do it tomorrow.

It's not every day one celebrates ten years together.

I promise you that tomorrow will be like

the 4th of July and Cinco de Mayo all wrapped up in one, okay?

If you're good, we'll celebrate Halloween and you'll get a trick and a treat.

Tomorrow, babe.

Alright. Whatever you want.

But tomorrow you're not getting away from me.

-Good night, honey. -Have a good night.

Get some rest.

Let's see here.

After you.

Oh, was this your surprise?

Yes, yes. Do you like it?

If you don't, we can leave. That's fine too.

No, no. It's okay. I...

I like it. It's...

-What? -All lit up.

Are you nervous?

Umm... yes.

-Yeah? -No.

-No? -Well, a little.

But I'm with you, so nothing bad will happen.

-We love each other. -Yes.

I just want to be with you to celebrate you.

What, are the dishes all done?

No. Betty isn't home yet.

I think I made a mistake.

I shouldn't have allowed her to go out.

Demetrio, Beatriz is an adult. She knows what she's doing.

I'm worried about how she'll get home.

If she'd left with Nicolas, I'd feel better.

It's strange that he didn't come tonight.

Yes, it is.

-He'll tell us why tomorrow. -Yeah.

Hey, sweetie, do you want some tequila?

At this hour?

Let's make the most of having the house all to ourselves.

Bet you can't catch me.

Julia, when you say that...

You have no idea what that does to me!

Betty, your big night starts now.

Tonight is my night. Everything will be alright.

No. No, no.

Tonight it'll all be different. He loves me.

He loves me.

Ricardo, what's wrong with you? This place is hideous!

It looks like a club inside!

You couldn't find anything nicer?

What did you expect, bro?

A five-star hotel in Manhattan where everyone could see you?

No one will recognize you there.

If you're worried about your damsel, don't worry about it.

She doesn't know any better. She'll thinks it's fancy.

How's it going? Did I call at a bad time?

Yes! The worst!

She's been in the bathroom for a half hour and I want to get out of here.

I don't think I have the stomach for this.

Betty doesn't deserve this.

She's in love and she trusts me.

Did you take your little pill?

Yes.

Did you look at the picture of the model?

Stop talking nonsense! This is serious!

Of course it is! Just relax, okay?

Turn the lights off, hold her,

picture your favorite porno and let nature take its course.

You'd be surprised by what you can do in the dark

and with a little imagination. Good luck, bro.

Remember, our future is in your hands.

Easy to say when you're not the one here.

Hey.

I know it's late, but... Oh, I don't know.

I wanted to hear your voice before going to bed.

Were you asleep?

I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about you.

Me too.

I think more and more about you with each passing day.

Sofia, what are we going to do about us?

I don't know.

All I can tell you is that...

you're the best thing that's happened to me during this horrible time.

And maybe after I divorce Efrain

you and I could...

Who are you talking to?

What are you going to do after we divorce?

And with who?

I need to know.

You can't hide it. I need to know.

Charly.

Charly!

-It's Charly! -What's wrong?

-Charly! -Charly?

Who the hell are you talking to?

-It's a man, isn't it? -Yes! Yes, he's a man.

A real man. Not a piece of...

You know what, darling?

I'll call you later. Someone was eavesdropping.

-Give me that! -Let go!

Don't touch me! Don't you dare touch me again!

Or I'll bash you over the head with this and accuse you of domestic abuse.

You're such a hypocrite, Sofia!

You whine and say I'm a bad father, that I abandoned you,

but who knows how long you've kept a lover!

You'll never know, you clown!

Did you expect me to just wait around for you to come back to me?

Well, guess what!

I'll be happier with him than in all my years with you!

-Shout it! -What?

Shout it so the boys can hear you!

You don't care about them.

They should come first in your life, but you don't care about them!

You're a mother, Sofia!

You've abandoned your decency, your morals...

Shut up! You're going to lecture me about morals and decency?

You brought a slut here to live with your sons and me.

Shut up! Shut up, Efrain, this time I'm done with you.

What's with all the yelling?

Is she threatening you again, lovebug? Should I call the police?

What's wrong?

You're still dressed.

It's just that I'm embarrassed to take my clothes off.

It's okay. Come here.

Let me help.

-Are you okay? -Uh-huh.

No, no! Turn on the light!

What's wrong?

I prefer to see you.

I need to see you.

Okay.

No, don't do that either. I can't see without them.

No, keep the boots on.

No, no, no! No!

-What's wrong? -I don't want to do this.

What's the matter? Calm down.

Are you okay? What's wrong?

I just don't want to be with you.
