Original subtitles

You're being naive.

PREVIOUSLY

It must be very cool for them to have an employee like you.

Who's going to take the fall for all the crap they pulled?

I'll say it one last time. Mr. Armando isn't bad.

All he wants is to save his family's company.

And I've got insurance for you.

What insurance?

The letter Armando gave you in which he admits guilt.

What had to happen happened.

What happened? I want details.

I don't want to talk about it.

Must've been terrible.

Marcela's taking over my life, and Betty, my company.

That's why we have to do things right.

-No mistakes. -More mistakes?

I'm tired of V&M. All I want is to have fun.

Cheers!

You relaxed, and you proved you can be the old Armando.

What's wrong with you? Why the long face?

Isn't this what you wanted? We should be having fun.

I know, and I am, but tomorrow everything must continue.

We can't neglect Betty, bro.

I'm not sleeping with Betty again, okay?

INCOMING CALL... BEATRIZ

Armando!

Why didn't you answer my calls? I called nonstop!

How could you do this after...?

I'm sorry, I don't know why I can't.

I don't know what's going on. Forgive me.

Sweetie, may I come in?

Yeah, come on in.

Honey, there's something I'd like to tell you.

Promise you won't get mad, though.

I promise. What is it?

Sweetie, I know you're an adult,

but I'll always see you as my little girl.

Uh-huh. But...

But I've noticed you've been different lately.

It's like you've changed.

My mother's intuition tells me you're keeping something inside,

and I think I know what it is.

Betty, is there something going on between you and your boss?

Good morning, Sleeping Beauty.

Charly.

Charly...

What? Why am I at a hospital?

My kids? Where are they? What's wrong with them?

They're fine. They're with their dad.

I'm so sleepy. What did they give me?

A sedative.

Your blood pressure was through the roof.

The slut!

That slut painted all of my things.

I'm going to kill her. I have to--

You're not going to kill anyone and you're not leaving

until someone checks your blood pressure.

You're not going to fight with anyone, okay?

Charly, you don't know what that woman did.

She took all my things.

She took my husband,

my house...

and now she's trying to take my children,

but I won't let that happen. I have to stop her.

Don't do anything.

Don't you realize what just happened to you?

Do you want to leave your sons motherless?

Do you want to give her the pleasure

of seeing you lose control over your life?

You're letting her win.

Is that what you want? To give up?

No.

I can't go on anymore, Charly.

I'm so tired.

What should I do?

I have the answer to your problems.

For once in your life, please listen to me.

It's about time you think of yourself and your sons.

Yes.

Why are you standing by the door, babe?

I was waiting for you.

Did something happen?

I know everything, Fabio.

What do you mean by that?

I don't understand.

Hi, Fabio.

Honey...

it happens to all men.

Well, not me.

Don't focus on that, Armando.

Maybe it's because of the night you spent with Beatriz.

Any man would be traumatized after that.

It's not all that important.

I understand, and I don't care.

Well, thank you for being so understanding.

Why don't we go back to bed?

I'm sorry, but I want to be alone.

Okay. As you wish.

I'm going back upstairs and I'll be waiting for you there.

Is there something going on between you and your boss?

No!

Why are you asking me that? Of course not!

What could there be going on between Mr. Armando and me?

Only work-related stuff. That's all.

Well, for only dealing with work-related stuff

like you say, you two seem awfully close.

He drives you home, he came to your birthday party,

he took you on a trip.

He protects you from the rain.

I don't understand. What are you insinuating?

I'm not insinuating anything.

I'm just listing the things he's done for you.

Why are you so upset?

Why am I upset? Because you don't trust me!

Don't you trust your daughter?

Besides, you've met Ms. Marcela Valencia.

She's his girlfriend.

Fiancée.

Yes! Exactly, his fiancée.

She's an elegant, beautiful and well-known woman in Manhattan.

And me... Look at me.

What am I? Ugly Betty from Jackson Heights.

Sweetie!

I mean it, Mom.

Do you really think someone like Mr. Armando,

someone handsome, elegant and successful,

would set their sights on someone like me?

Yes.

I do think so. Of course I do.

And don't try to turn this on me.

I'm not as dumb as you think I am, sweetie.

Believe it or not, I have years of life experience on you.

All right, sweetie.

I've strived to teach you right from wrong.

Falling in love with a man who's taken is wrong.

But the heart wants what it wants.

I get the feeling your innocent and inexperienced heart

has been going on a wild ride through life lately.

If you could, you'd steal away that Marcela's boyfriend,

wouldn't you?

Betty, I am your mother.

No one loves you like I do.

Tell me the truth, honey.

Are you in love with Armando Mendoza?

What did you tell him?

That I'm pregnant.

And what else?

She told me who the father is.

How could you?

It's okay to be embarrassed, Fabio.

A guy who doesn't want his own flesh and blood to be born,

deserves the worst.

I didn't know either.

Yes, I just told him.

I don't know what I'd do without you, Fabio.

I don't know...

I think I'd go crazy.

You have us both.

Both of us.

That man doesn't realize his cowardly act affects him most.

Life will make him pay. I'm sure of it.

Please know you can count on us for anything.

You're an angel!

Thank you for everything.

I can't stop thinking about what's going on...

and to top it off, Fabio's mad at me.

Fabi, don't you realize she's going through a hard time?

Why are you acting like this?

Because I didn't tell him who the father is.

No, no. We're a family.

We won't be torn apart by something so insignificant.

I want you two to hug.

Hug.

I hope he regrets this someday and returns to meet his baby.

Is that all you got?

Work harder!

You're leaving?

With workouts like that, you won't last long, Panterita.

I've got a date...

with Wilson.

-Have fun! -You bet.

He'll be mine tonight.

Panterita!

-Sandrita? -You're distracting me.

Yeah...

Plus, doesn't it smell like sweat here?

-What? -See you, bud.

"See you, bud."

Here.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

Has Charly called again?

I already told you no, lovebug.

Relax already.

Kiss.

Kiss.

Kiss, kiss.

Who's your lovebug?

How do you feel?

It's great to see you back safe and sound, Ms. Sofia.

We were worried about you, right?

Yeah?

Didn't seem like it.

I would've seen you at the hospital.

We were getting ready to go see you.

-Right, Jenny? -Yes, that's right.

But we couldn't leave the boys by themselves.

Poor things.

How sweet of you. Thanks very much.

You won't have to worry about them anymore, though,

because I'm taking them with me.

You are? Where to?

Wherever it is I go.

It's not like you care.

You can keep the house, the furniture, everything here.

I'll only take with me what really matters to me.

My sons.

Sofia, what's all this about you leaving the house?

You're such an hypocrite, Efrain.

This is happening because this is what you wanted all along.

You wanted me to leave the house.

Congratulations!

You got your wish.

Ms. Sofia, I only wanted you to understand

that we should sell the house.

I never meant to hurt you.

Jenny also wants to apologize for painting your clothes

and bedroom orange.

Well, she started it.

My sons don't have to go, Sofia.

Yeah.

Are you serious, Efrain?

Do you think I'd leave my children in the hands of God knows who,

of someone so irresponsible?

Say goodbye, boys. I'll be waiting outside.

This is only temporary.

We'll work this out.

Listen to your mother.

Man, do something!

I am, Efrain.

I'm doing the right thing.

I'm supporting Sofia.

You're wrong, and you know it.

Remember today as the day you kicked your family out.

You'll regret having done it.

We won, lovebug! Aren't you happy?

We did it! The house is all ours!

That flabby, old hag and those two brats are gone!

Good Lord, it's ours!

The house is ours, lovebug!

The house is ours, so there's nothing to worry about.

No.

Mom, please! How could you think that?

I really like my job and I enjoy working with Mr. Armando,

but that's all.

All right.

I won't push you anymore.

I can respect the fact that you don't want to tell me.

But I'm done pretending like I don't know what's going on.

I know what's going on.

Mom, calm down. There's nothing going on.

That's what you said that night when you came home after prom.

You experienced something terrible that night

and you never told me what it was.

I know you kept it a secret

so you wouldn't upset your dad and I...

but your silence upsets me more, sweetie.

I know you keep things to yourself.

Some very painful things.

In any case, you'll tell me when you're ready.

Just remember the ninth commandment states

you shall not covet your neighbor's fiancé.

Don't go through life hurting others,

but don't allow yourself to be hurt by others either.

Remember what Grandma always says?

Laser eyes, quick on your feet, and smart.

Yes.

Don't worry. Everything's fine.

I love you very much.

Love you too.

Oh, Cuquito.

I don't want to tell her that I'm a home wrecker.

You finally lost it, didn't you?

What do you want?

What do I want?

I want my husband and the father of my children back!

I've had it with you treating me like I don't exist.

Listen, you're going to ruin everything!

I'm not ruining anything. Huguito lives in la-la land.

He loves you so much he can't see the stunts you pull.

Food's here!

With plenty of calcium for the mother-to-be.

Thank you!

What's wrong?

I feel a twinge of tension in the air.

Yes.

It's nothing.

We were arguing about my pregnancy.

It's nothing, really. It's just that...

Fabio's still mad at me.

Fabi, if mommy experiences ugly emotions,

the baby will feel them too.

No, everything's great, babe. Everything!

That's what I like to hear.

Let's go wash up.

Told you!

Let me go!

Come on in! Welcome to my house.

Come on in, kids.

These are heavy.

Thank you.

Well, why don't we pretend we're camping?

Mosquito free, of course.

Yes, yes.

Mom can take the bed, you can take the air mattress,

and I'll take the couch.

And what are we going to eat?

-Jonathan! -Do you like Chinese food?

Perfect!

Where's the bedroom?

-Upstairs. -Come on, Jonathan!

Boys, can't you pick up after yourselves?

If we're having Chinese, it'll be my treat.

Forget it!

You're my guests. You're not paying for anything.

Mom, the TV is too small and this house is very ugly.

What? Don't say those things!

Apologize to your godfather right now.

Don't scold him. It's true.

This house is full of ugly knick-knacks.

How about I set up a videogame console

so you and Jonathan can use it after school tomorrow?

No, no. You don't have to.

It's fine. Don't worry.

-We don't want to bother you. -It's fine.

Mom, I don't want to live here.

Why did you fight with Dad?

Come with me. Let's talk.

First of all, you have to apologize to your godfather.

Secondly, your dad and I lived with you and your brother

as a family,

but then something happened

and your dad decided to be with another woman.

That's why I had to leave. Do you understand?

If I stayed, I would've gotten sick.

Why didn't they leave?

That's something you'll ask your dad when the time comes.

You're not getting back together with him?

No, sweetie.

But why do you hate him?

No! I don't hate him.

Let's just say I'm a little mad at him.

Junior, you're a big kid now.

I need your support and I need you to understand

that I didn't want you guys to have to go through this.

I didn't want to divorce your dad.

I promise this won't last for long.

I promise we'll find a place to live

and that we'll be doing very well soon.

But I need your support and for you to help me with Jonathan.

Have you decided how you want me to arrange the furniture?

I've been thinking about it, but this furniture is hideous.

You know what it is? The furniture is old.

I think I should buy new furniture.

What? Buy new furniture?

This furniture is still good. Look.

No, no, no.

I don't want to keep anything that'll remind you of your ex.

Look! It's ugly!

We're getting rid of this lamp too.

Oh, and I'm going to set up a studio in the boys' room--

No... The boys' things are staying.

They need these and I'll get it to them little by little.

So we're going to continue living like guests?

I got Sofia to leave.

That's what you wanted, right? Well, you got it.

Why aren't you happy now?

I want a house that feels ours.

I have to share this house with your family...

even if they're not here.

And you think new furniture will make everything better?

They're my sons and I'll always be in their lives.

Yes, but you're going to see me on the daily.

I'm not asking you to replace them with me.

I want my own place, lovebug.

Besides, you say you love me and you promise a lot,

but then complain when you have to come through.

Look, I'm not in the mood to argue.

I'm very tired and I have to get up early tomorrow.

Right.

Yeah, I love you too.

New curtains!

The children are asleep. Did you like the Chinese food?

I loved it!

Where'd you find this restaurant?

It's a Chinese place.

It was really good. Thank you so much.

Starting tomorrow, we go grocery shopping.

We can't keep eating out.

If keep it up, we'll go broke and end up overweight.

We can go grocery shopping together tomorrow.

I'll finally get to eat a healthy meal.

You have no idea how much I've missed home cooked meals.

Your food is delicious.

You like it that much? Why hadn't you said something?

I would've had you over to the house for dinner more often.

I was embarrassed to say anything and I didn't want to take advantage.

No, no.

Take advantage of me whenever you want.

You're wonderful!

You're like a wonderful angel sent from above.

I mean it.

You're the best thing that's happened to me

during this terrible time.

I want the children to forget these terrible times.

That idiot Efrain only does whatever Jenny wants him to,

but I'm sure some day he'll regret this.

That's his problem.

I've realized I have to look after my health and sanity.

I can't get sick. The boys need me.

Which is why, I'm meeting with my lawyer tomorrow,

so I can finally put an end to this.

Way to go, Sofi. I'm so glad you are.

Yes.

Charly!

No.

We can't.

Just a kiss.

No, we can't kiss. The boys are here.

Right, we can't kiss because the boys are here.

Uh-huh.

Good night!

I want to, but I can't.

Bye!

Cuquito, I don't get it.

How can someone take you to Paradise

and fling you to the depths of Hell in a matter of seconds?

That was the most beautiful night of my life.

I went from making love to him

to finding out he's getting married in two months.

Can you believe that?

I don't know what to do anymore.

What should I do?

Should I run...

or should I call him?

Armando.

Honey?

Armando.

Who is this?

NEW MESSAGE FROM BEATRIZ

Beatriz?

Sweetie...

-What's going on? -Why don't we go to bed?

Your back is going to hurt tomorrow.

-What's going on? -Nothing, sweetie.

Come on. You poor thing.

Now no one can ruin our night,

not even Sandra if she shows up.

You and Sandra were exchanging a few choice words

-before I got there, huh? -Of course not.

We were just warming up for the fight, you know.

Where do you know her from?

She started working at my job a little while after I started.

Has she ever hit on you or have you ever hit on her?

Yeah, right. How?

She's gay.

-Gay? -You didn't know?

I've heard rumors.

Her and I are natural-born rivals, babe.

We don't have time to talk about those things.

Has she ever told you she likes you or anything like that?

No, she knows I love men,

and of all the men in the whole world,

I'm crazy about you.

Should I keep going or are you chickening out?

Keep going, keep going.

You used to say hi, man.

I'm not in the mood.

Don't you want to know where your family spent the night?

Sofia chose to leave. I didn't kick her out, okay?

And I made the decision to bring them to my house

because what you did was wrong.

You took them home?

What was I supposed to do?

Leave them on the street and turn my back on them like you?

How come you never let me stay with you?

You always said your place was too small.

And now you've taken my wife and kids

-to live in your shoebox! -Ex-wife!

And I decide who can and can't stay in my shoebox!

So you're taking their side.

You've already decided that I'm the villain here!

Yeah, you are the villain, and don't push me.

Really? Why?

What are you going to do about it?

Look, Efrain, you know me.

Don't try me, because if you do, you're going to get it.

What you did was really messed up!

What gives you the moral authority to call me out?

What do I owe you?

Want me to pay for my kids' dinner? How much?

I want you to man up, moron!

That's obviously not possible, though!

Son of a...

He hit me!

Look, ma'am.

This miserable woman has completely undermined me!

Even my kids are calling her "Mommy Jenny."

-What is that? -That's too much.

Plus, your husband has no right to do that to you.

Of course not.

How could my husband's lover be living in my own house?

How could I stay?

I understand, Sofia, but you should've asked me first.

Why?

Will it be harder to get divorced now?

No, it won't be harder, but from now on

I want you to listen to everything I tell you.

Yes.

Are you really ready to take the next step?

Yes.

Yes.

How much do you want?

Name your price and it's yours, but you need to go back to Argentina.

Try to understand.

I didn't come here for money only.

I'm here for you.

I'm sick and tired of being alone.

Romina, be reasonable, please!

We can't live without Hugo's money.

I just got married, I just got my green card.

I can't leave him or I'll lose it all, including my status.

Don't you want to live in the US?

We've got three years to go before I can become a citizen.

No, I won't put my life on hold

so you can get more money out of Hugo.

No way. You want me to leave?

You want me to leave?

Perfect. You're coming with me.

What for? We have nothing in Argentina.

Start modeling again.

I'm too old for that.

The little work I've gotten has been thanks to Hugo.

I promise you we'll get a lot more money out of Hugo,

along with our citizenship.

Is that not enough?

Fine. Keep your fake marriage!

If you stay here, I'm staying with you.

-Romina, please... -What are you going to say?

Be quiet, you freeloader.

That's what you are!

You don't want to go to Argentina

because you don't want to work for money,

but you have no problem sending me back.

I want you to know, in case you forgot,

that we're together in good times and bad times.

We're a family.

I told you, I told you, I told you.

You must have one hell of a hangover.

I don't think I can go to work today.

I've got a huge headache.

I kept drinking and I don't even know how I got home or to my bed.

You rookie. Where's Marcela?

She went to work.

I don't think she's too pleased with you.

You didn't answer her calls all afternoon

and things are looking pretty bleak for today.

Check this out.

What is this?

What do you think? The paparazzi, I told you.

Those pictures are already online

and Marcela must've seen them by now.

So... Get ready.

You're in for one hell of a day.

Feel this fabric.

More, more. Touch it.

I'll have you know it's not real leather.

-What? -It's a plant-based leather.

-Hugo, this is incredible. -Right?

-We have to test it out! -Of course! Look--

Marce!

Marce, really, I want you to know I share your pain.

I don't know how that bastard could've done that to you!

What's wrong with you, Patricia?

Marce, what did he tell you? Please tell me what said.

What excuse did he give you now?

I don't mean to judge, Patricia,

but you're already drunk this early in the day.

I'm not drunk, okay?

Not today.

Today I'm outraged and I don't know how you aren't.

Haven't you seen the pictures?

They're all over the Internet!

That.

He's playing you like the flute.

Look. This is that gossip site.

Oh, no!

You can clearly see Mr. Armando partying last night,

and with another woman!

Marianita, be careful with those pictures.

Better yet, delete them before Marcela sees.

Inesita, it's impossible to take them down.

It's way too late.

They've even got a hashtag already, unfaithfulv&m.

Ms. Marcela will find out any minute now.

And with her temper, something terrible is bound to happen.

Marcela is going to kill him.

After this, she's going to riddle him with bullets.

Call Wilson to stand guard.

Wilson?

We need a SWAT team, Special Forces...

FBI.

Hi, girls.

Hey, Betty!

Hey, have you heard?

What happened?

Your boss was caught red-handed.

Look.

No, no, no!

No wonder he came home drunk last night!

This is unbelievable! How could he do that to me?

What kind of paparazzi took this?

You can't really make out her face.

Before you do anything, find out who she is.

Armando is always saying that I make things up.

What'll he say now? This is undeniable.

And like an idiot, I thought something bad happened to him

-when he got lost with Beatriz. -I told you.

The accident was all baloney.

And you let him in after he was with another woman?

Gross!

He was probably all slobbered on, ew!

Armando is going to get it.

Marcela, listen carefully.

When men feel cornered, they react like rabid dogs.

What you need is a strategy.

What strategy, Hugo? Please!

He turned her into the biggest piece of gossip

in all of Manhattan!

Armand is the same as always. He doesn't respect her.

No... but today is the last day Armando fools me.

No, sir! Today everything changes!

You'll see!

My phone, Marce! It's new!

Don't just stand there. Go after her.

You know how Marcela gets.

If something happens, it'll be your responsibility.

Mine? Why?

I didn't tell Armando to stand in front of the camera and pose.

But who dropped the bomb?

Go put out that fire.

No.

It broke.

Mrs. Julia.

How are you?

Fine, thank you.

Great. Ricardo, this is Betty's mother.

We've met.

How are you, ma'am? Nice to see you.

Likewise.

What brings you by? Here to see Betty?

No, I actually came to talk to Mr. Armando about a few things.

To me?

Yes.

May I have a few minutes with you... alone?

Sure, of course. See you inside.

-Excuse me. -Sure.

Of course, ma'am.

There's a great coffee shop nearby.

-Let's go there. -Okay.

What is this, Beatriz?

Who is the woman in the picture with Armando?

I'm sorry?

Don't act dumb.

Armando had this picture on his phone.

Is this the woman he's seeing?

Is she his lover?
