Original subtitles

Take her boss, for example.

How could he show up at her house without a gift

when he's got so much money?

And then he ate all of the tamales!

I have something very special for you.

Am I interrupting?

Who's that for, Armando?

Honey, you ruined my surprise! It's for you!

That bear was for me. Another Amorosito.

I booked you the best church in New York

for Saint Patrick's day.

The wedding's in two months.

Are you going to the photo shoot for the catalog?

No, I have a meeting at Thompson's house.

I'll go with you.

That's not a good idea.

I'm taking Betty so she can review the numbers

and I don't want there to be tension between you.

There won't be. I swear.

A new Marcela sits before you.

Relax, I'll fan the flames of love for you.

I left Beatriz another gift.

Again?

A gift and a card, which by the way, I did a great job with.

You'll thank me.

"My heart belongs to you."

Armando.

Betty.

I see you found my gift.

Yes. It made my morning.

It's very... cute.

I'm glad you liked it.

I felt terrible after what happened yesterday.

That necklace and teddy bear were meant for you.

Yes, I know.

Don't worry, though. I understand.

The necklace and teddy bear were accompanied by this card.

I kept it for you.

Can we talk now?

I'd rather we didn't.

Maybe some other time. I need... time.

Yes, that's fine.

Betty, I have a very important meeting with Thompson

outside New York and I want you to come with me.

Marcela's also coming, but I'd like you there too.

I promise she won't be nasty.

I'd rather not go.

I'd feel very uncomfortable.

Betty, I need you with me.

And I'll be here for you, for whatever you need.

You can call or message me.

But I won't feel comfortable there.

I don't want to be anywhere near Ms. Marcela.

Yes, I understand.

All right.

Jenny!

You look like a Muslim who powdered her face with nachos!

No, no. I can explain.

Stay away.

You owe me, Jenny Wendy. You owe me one.

Oh!

Inesita, I have spots, don't I?

I'm going to turn orange.

Hugo, I already told you, Jenny isn't sick.

Something dyed her skin that color.

How, though?

No one wakes up with a different skin color.

Now we don't have a fit model we can use for the pictures.

Hugo, I heard about what happened.

See what happens when you try to save a few bucks?

If we'd hired a professional,

she would've delivered and none of this would've happened.

Don't worry. I'll handle it.

I'll hire a professional model and I'll spare no expense.

You'll probably hire the cleaning lady, Ms. Nelly,

as my new fit model just because it's cheaper.

A two-for-one special. A cleaning lady and a model.

Hugo, I'm with you on this. Forget what Armando thinks.

I won't leave until you're happy with the model

and the pictures, okay?

There's still hope, then.

Mr. Smith, she used her magic,

the dark arts, to do this.

And she did it on purpose!

She didn't want me to be featured on the catalogue

or be on the front cover.

I feel like an orange!

So now I'm responsible for everything that happens to her?

Now, here's something else.

How would I go about making her look like a roasted salamander?

You switched out my creams!

She switched out my creams, Mr. Smith!

I kept them organized, but she opened them and added something

to make me look like this.

Why would I wish her any ill?

I think life is like a boomerang.

Everything you do comes back to you.

Plus, why wouldn't I want her to be in the photo shoot?

No, Mr. Smith. I don't want to hurt her financially.

On the contrary. If she's doing well,

Efrain's doing well, and we're all doing well.

-Hag! -Pardon?

I'm going to kill her! I swear I am!

Can you prove your coworker did this to you?

Yes!

No!

I mean, no, but I can't prove it wasn't her either.

Why don't you prove me wrong?

I'm going to send you home.

When you regain a more natural coloring

and you provide a doctor's note stating

this wasn't the result of a disease or radiation exposure,

you may come back to work.

Radiation exposure? She did this!

Well, Hugo Lombardi requested it.

-Now, Mrs. Sofia. -Yes?

Would you like to file a claim against Jenny for assault?

No. No, I only wish her the best.

However, I do think she'd benefit from attending

the anger management class you kindly suggested to me.

What do you think?

You can come back to work after you have a more human hue,

you get your doctor's note and you finish the class.

-Flabby! -Pardon?

She's saggy!

You have such a good heart.

It's an honor to be in your presence.

Giovis, I'm hideous! Look at my reflection!

It's just not fair!

I'm 100% certain Mrs. Sofia did this to me.

She didn't want me to take part in the photo shoot.

My body and I were going to be on the front cover,

but she ruined everything!

Jenny, look on the bright side. You still have your job.

And you still have qualities that'll help you get ahead.

All you have to do is take the class.

Oh, easy for you to say. You don't have to go.

Giovis, I feel terrible.

I need a hug!

No, Jenny.

Life is filled with obstacles and complications.

And on our journey,

we don't always have someone to hold us up.

That's true too.

My career is over, though.

I'll never model again

because Mr. Huguito will never want to work with me again!

I'll have to sell tamales on the street!

-And I don't know how to cook! -Don't say that.

You don't know what the future holds.

No one does.

Remember, you hold the pen with which you write your fate.

That's right!

And since I determine my own fate, I'll demand justice.

I'll make sure everyone here realizes

it was Mrs. Sofia who did this.

Want to see me do it?

Oh, you will.

That was close.

Oh!

Thank you, Giovis! You're a great friend!

Just look at her.

Know who she looks like? A certain president.

Stop it, Patricia!

What happened to Jenny is no laughing matter.

I had to hire a very expensive model.

And I won't be able to get away to a meeting

at a wonderful country house with Armando.

Oh, you poor thing, Marce.

That's very serious.

Talk about first world problems!

Hey, have you considered that Armand...

might go with another woman?

No. No way!

He'll either go with Ricardo or Beatriz.

If it were someone else, I'd worry.

A woman is a woman, Marce.

And Beatriz is Beatriz, Patricia.

She's out.

Yeah, she was obviously kicked out because she's ugly.

I'm so mean!

You're absolutely right.

Can you picture Armando with Beatriz?

Armando wouldn't date her if she were the last woman on Earth.

He'd go gay first.

And date Hugo.

Cute couple!

We'll have to postpone the shoot.

No.

It's better to hire another model

than to bring back the production team.

We still have to pay them and we can't squander our money.

Will you handle it?

Marcela beat me to it.

I'm going to stay here to support her.

Which means, you and Beatriz will get to travel alone.

Fate is siding with the lovebirds.

She just told me she doesn't want to go.

-Okay, but... -Hello!

-Oh. -Yes.

Hi, Mr. Ricardo.

Mr. Armando, I'm going to join you on your trip.

It's my duty as your assistant and a V&M employee.

Great, Betty.

Gather your things because we'll be leaving soon.

Cool.

I told you.

Betty wants this to happen and you can't let her get away.

You have to do a great job.

It's your duty as her assistant and V&M employee.

Okay, great.

Hugo, the model is on her way.

She'd better be amazing.

If not, my sternocleidomastoid will tense up.

Look! Here she comes!

Oh. What are you doing here?

Weren't you traveling with Armando.

What do you mean, "Oh"?

I chose to stay to help you. I couldn't leave you alone.

Help me or the model?

Oh!

Hello!

Habemus model!

The magic starts now.

So you were the one who turned her into a carrot!

No!

There are boundaries even I won't cross.

I'm not as sick as you think I am.

Look! I don't believe you.

I don't either.

I mean, if I were you, I wouldn't believe me either.

I'd like to know who's responsible, so I can congratulate her.

Just to congratulate her. Genius!

She has my respect. That's all.

It's karma, isn't it? Life is like a boomerang.

Everything you send out... comes back.

Stop that, Sofi! It applies to everyone.

Huh?

Oh, I don't know what means yes and what means no anymore.

Oh well.

Stop it, Sofis!

Armando, don't bring your assistant next time.

I always lose when she's around.

-She's a very smart woman. -Yes, that's true.

She's the most valuable employee on your team.

Yes, I know she is.

Beatriz, if you're ever treated poorly, just let me know.

Hey, watch it!

Betty belongs to V&M and no one will steal her away.

Thank you for everything. Take care.

Let's go, Betty.

-Bye. -Have a safe trip.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Oh, that dumb Pantera! "I'm going out tonight."

Whoa, you're energetic today.

This is therapeutic!

I like seeing you this committed to your training.

You know, Pantera posted on her Facebook page

that she's going to party tonight.

Where is she going?

To the pool hall on Eighth. It's Fighters' Night.

Well, I'll be there.

What do you mean by that?

Is something wrong?

I don't know. You never want to go out.

Well, I want to go out today.

Then go out.

-Marce. -Hmm?

I wanted to congratulate you. The pictures look amazing!

Thank you!

I'm glad it was worth it because I'm exhausted.

Armando is on his way back. It seems it went well for them.

That's great. Are you going to wait for him?

I am, but they're a long ways away.

What do you say we have a drink while we wait for him together?

I say, yes! Let's go!

What?

Do you like me or something?

I'm not in the mood to hook up right now.

It's Panterita and her friend Wilson!

What are you up to?

-Betty. -Hmm?

I really wanted to see you last night,

but Marcela didn't leave my side.

Don't worry. It's fine.

Did you get my message?

Yes.

And I also knew that necklace was meant for me.

It was very pretty.

I'm glad you liked it.

If you want, I can get you one tomorrow.

No, that won't be necessary.

Ms. Marcela could notice and she might get upset.

It's best if I don't then.

Betty, I think now's a good time

to talk about what happened on the night of your birthday.

Uh-huh. Um...

Like I said, I don't like to talk about it.

Yes, I understand, but you also have to understand me.

What made you reject me like that?

To the catalogue.

To the catalogue... and you.

None of this would've happened without your help.

Or the new model.

We could've done it without her.

You would've made a better model.

Shut up! I'm not a model!

And I can't model for my own company.

I mean, why would you? Why humiliate all other models?

Is this your way of boosting my self-esteem?

We both know why we're here.

Don't think I haven't noticed.

Well... Oh, I don't know!

It... It wasn't the right time.

It wasn't? I thought it was!

It was your birthday and we were alone.

I read you right.

I'm certain you wanted it... as much as I did.

Yes, I did, but...

Oh, I don't know. These things happen.

What happened, though? How did I mess up?

You didn't.

I didn't? Then who's to blame?

-Nicolas? -No, no!

Of course not! Nicolas had nothing to do with it!

Then say something.

It smells like something's burning.

That's strange!

Giovanni said he'd taken it to the shop.

-It's dead! -Oh, no.

-It's dead! -Pull over.

It's not moving.

You should pull over.

Let's be careful. The smell is very strong.

What's going on? What happened?

I'll call for help right now.

-Let's see. -Oh, no!

-I have no signal! -I'll call for help.

-I have no signal. -Me neither.

Don't worry.

Someone will drive by. We'll ask for help then.

-Really? -Yeah.

-We'll have to wait then. -Let's head over there.

There must be something or someone who can help.

-That way. -Okay.

-No, let's go this way. -All right, then.

This way.

Hold that closely.

What have you realized?

That you want to be my friend. I really appreciate it too.

I know it puts you in a bind with Armando.

Yes, it honestly does. But I know he'll understand.

You're getting married and it's best for us to be good friends.

Yes, and I... I have a lot of fun when I'm with you.

-Hi! -Hello!

Am I interrupting?

Allow me to introduce you to my new best friend.

Are you high?

He's your best friend?

Patricia, I know you two have had your differences,

but it's about time you get over it.

You have to make up.

It'd mean a lot to me if you did.

Armando and I are going to get married

and you'll always be in our lives.

So...

Fine!

I forgive you.

-You're forgiving me? -Uh-huh.

I forgive you.

Ow!

Would you like a drink? A double, right?

Get her one.

Sandra, you're being rude.

Shut up! She can tell me herself.

We can all get along, bud.

Listen, babe, I have nothing to say.

Happy girls dance while bitter girls sulk.

Tequila.

Another.

Another two to work up my nerve.

I can't believe no one has come by.

Maybe that's because it's late.

I have no signal. What should we do?

Me neither.

Could things get any worse?

It could rain.

Let's go back to the car.

No, I see something up ahead. Let's go check it out.

Cheers!

To being BFFs once again!

Without benefits, though.

It's really late. Armando will be here soon.

Are you leaving or staying a while longer?

-We're leaving. -No, let's stay.

Let's stay.

That's weird. I can't reach him.

I'm being sent straight to voicemail.

Call Beatriz then.

I'll call her.

I can't reach her either.

You know what? They're probably in a dead zone.

Don't worry, though. When he reaches the city,

he'll see your missed call and call you back.

This isn't Mexico.

So what?

If I don't drink it, they will!

Be careful!

Come on!

Oh, no!

Hello?

Hello?

Is anyone home?

Hi!

-Hey! -It's raining a lot.

I think it's empty.

-Let's go somewhere else. -No, wait.

We should try to go inside instead of back out in the rain.

-Go inside? -Yes, wait here.

Armando, what are you doing?

Calm down. It's fine.

You're damaging private property.

We could go to prison for that.

It'll be fine. Calm down.

Hang tight.

It's really cold and we'll be better off inside.

Armando!

After you.

Marce, calm down.

Maybe they stopped to get something to eat.

I thought so too, but they've been missing for hours now.

Why do I keep getting the out of service area message?

Ricardo said there are dead zones on the road.

That doesn't apply to every stretch of the road.

Only certain areas.

Thompson said that they'd left while the sun was still up.

They've been missing for hours. This isn't normal.

Something strange is going on here.

That idiot Beatriz's phone is also outside the service area.

Why don't you use the app you downloaded to spy on Armando?

Problem solved. You'll know where they are

once it tells you where his phone is.

I already did.

His phone is outside the service area.

Whoa, that is weird.

What are we going to do?

I know someone who could tell us where they are.

Come with me. You're coming with me.

Quit being so lazy. Come on!

I'm in a hurry, Patricia. Come on.

All right.

Yes!

My dad would be so proud of me.

All those summer camps he sent me to were actually useful.

At least now we won't freeze to death.

I've always dreamt of having a cooler death than that.

What's in here?

Look!

This one has airplanes on it. Throw it on!

Armando, what are you doing?

Taking my wet clothes off so I don't catch a cold.

You should do the same.

No, I'm fine. This is a very warm blanket.

You're getting it wet.

You should take your clothes off so you can dry off.

I'm embarrassed to.

I won't look.

Fine, I'll undress, but don't look.

I won't.

-Promise you won't. -I promise.

-Done. -Already?

No, no!

-Now? -No!

-Now? -No!

-All done? -No!

Nobody undresses that quickly!

-Done! -Yeah?

No.

Done!

Sit down. It's nice and warm.

Hey!

-Oh. -"Oh."

Didn't you see me there?

I know it was you.

Me? What are you talking about?

Sabotaging Jenny!

It's got the calling card of a heartbroken, jealous woman.

Thank God the paint came off

and thank God there weren't further consequences

and that the dermatologist said she'd be fine.

Otherwise you'd be in jail, and I wouldn't have lifted a finger

to get you out of there

because I don't give a damn what you do with your life.

-Incredible. -What's incredible?

It's incredible that I lived with you 20 years

and gave you two children

to only now realize what a piece of crap you are.

We're the same. You're just like me!

Yeah, keep going. Keep insulting me.

Go on, I'll keep quiet.

You know why?

It doesn't hurt me anymore at all.

I'm just now realizing, you filthy rat,

that your insults accomplish nothing

except for doing away with what little love and compassion

I still have for you.

What's more, you know what else I'm figuring out, you bastard?

That there's such an empty space in my heart

that it'll be very easy for anyone to fill it...

quick as can be.

What a relief.

How cool!

This is great!

All this is yours, stud.

She's plastered.

Poor thing, it's not even funny anymore.

Yeah, she did drink too much, didn't she?

That's her problem. You and I are here to have fun.

How about I show you one of my favorite spots

and later you can show me yours?

That'd be great, but I can't leave her like that.

We work together.

So you're turning down this tropical Pantera

who's got curves for days?

It's just that duty calls.

Try to understand me.

Listen, if you want to babysit, that's your problem.

This Pantera right here isn't into pantywaists.

Don't be like that.

You're such a disaster.

-Disaster? -Bye.

Come on, let's get out of here.

You're making a fool of yourself.

I'm going to sing you a song.

No, no, no. Get up.

Up you go.

-Whoa! -Hold on.

-Hey. -What?

I never knew you were so... skilled.

Am I that helpless to you?

No way! That's not it.

You seem more cosmopolitan, more like a city boy.

More cautious.

-A snob. -Yes.

Well, I'm not that much of a snob.

Sometimes I take the subway and eat tacos on the street.

I like skydiving. I'm not that snobby.

I'd even say I'm having a good time if I weren't so hungry.

I'm pretty hungry too, and yes, I'm having a good time.

Betty, I think this is a good time.

For what?

I'd like you to tell me why you didn't want to be with me

that night at the hotel.

Oh.

It's a very personal story.

It's one of the worst things that's ever happened to me.

What?

But I think it's important for you, especially, to know.

I used to go out with Freddy, this kid in high school.

He was the cutest, coolest, most popular student.

He got closer to me our last few months in school

and would ask me to help him out,

so I helped him with some of his tests

and college applications.

After that, he invited me to prom.

Can you imagine?

I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

I was the ugly girl, the nerd nobody liked,

and I was going to the prom with the prom king,

the most popular guy in school.

But Freddy had it all planned out

and stupid, innocent me didn't figure it out.

My Betty!

Come on, my beautiful Betty.

But I want to stay and party.

But we're having our own private party here.

Want a drink?

No, I don't feel like drinking.

I'm going to use the restroom.

-But Betty. -I have to go.

Betty, sweetie, what are you doing here alone?

Is it your first time?

My first time what?

You're so beautiful.

Is this your first time making love?

But Freddy, we haven't been dating that long.

I don't think we should do this.

I don't like hearing you say dumb things like that.

You know what?

Didn't you want this?

I don't know.

I think so, but...

No buts, my Betty.

You know how many girls would love to be here with me?

But, you know, the other girls don't act up like you're doing.

-Tell me something. -What?

Do you love me or not?

Well, I really like you, but I don't know if I love you.

Well, you're going to love what I'm about to do.

Betty, I'm finally going to have you.

What? He raped you?

My children!

Oh my!

La Llorona.

Straight to voicemail again, Julia.

I always tell you you're overreacting,

but now I'm worried about Betty too.

What if you call V&M?

No, it's too late. Everyone's probably gone.

Maybe it's her. She probably forgot her keys.

-Good evening. -Good evening.

I suppose you're Beatriz's parents.

Yes.

It was horrible.

I wanted to scream and run out of there,

but something didn't let me and I was paralyzed,

so I closed my eyes and prayed it would be over

as soon as possible.

But that wasn't the worst part.

Freddy?

Well, boys, I'll take my $500 now.

You promised.

I slept with the ugliest girl in school.

Between us, Betty was a virgin.

You'll have to do better than that

if you want to win the next bet because you're looking

at the king.

Cheers!

Run!

He lied to me.

He did all that for a bet.

He made a bet with his friends that he could sleep

with the ugliest girl in school.

After that, he showed people a video of it,

and everyone thought he was the coolest guy in school,

while I was the laughingstock.

Betty, I never imagined you

going through something like that.

What can I do?

Hold me. That'll make me feel better.

I still don't understand how there can be

such bad people in the world.

Why would he do that to me?

Am I that unimportant?

No, Betty.

No, of course not.

Hey!

What are your thoughts on everything that's happened

on Betty en New York this week?

Things are getting heated, right?

Well, check this out!

Today is Betty's big night.

I'm injured because a bicycle ran over me.

It smells more like honey than it does blood.

Betty!

I got really into it and then this happened.

Armando, are you all right? It wasn't that bad, was it?

Betty, I don't like these things.

Good morning. Who are you?

-Beatriz? -Who else?

Last scene with this look!

I'm so happy because it takes an hour to do.

My hair needs to be straightened and then there's the bun.

Mr. Armando is coming to my daughter's birthday party

and I'm so happy!

Look who I ran into!

It wasn't planned, but my wonderful cast mate

made me dive headfirst into the cake.

What? Recording isn't illegal.

What are you doing?

Poor Patricia was arrested.

You know she never gets in trouble.

Betty, wait! Betty!

Damn it!

-I broke it. -Okay, cut.

Action!

We were soaking wet, got dry to shoot another scene,

and now we have to get wet again.

It's hot and we have to act like it's cold

because it's raining in the scene and we're freezing.

But it's only pretend.

The scene's biggest challenge was staying focused.

I had to be comfortable with my scene partner.

That had to show up onscreen.

Once you let go, things happen the way they're supposed to.

What'd you think? What you just saw is nothing

compared to what you'll see in the coming weeks.

I wish I could tell you more, but it's a secret.

Bye now. Love you!
