Original subtitles

I know it's been very hard to kiss that toad

and that it's been even worse to sleep with her.

She was your trained seal.

She was ready to carry out your orders

and be the hideous but visible face of the shell company

that would protect V&M when we got into debt.

The danger here is that your bat can keep everything.

Keep making Quasimodo believe you're in love with her

and that you'll call off your wedding to Marcela.

Keep the farce going until after the next board meeting.

When that's over, Beatriz will leave V&M

just like you promised Marcela she would.

PREVIOUSLY

In your office closet, I left her daily rations

of stuffed animals, chocolates,

and the corny cards she loves so much.

I've included special cards

in case you have to sleep with her.

All my life I've been the butt of all jokes.

I actually thought I'd found true love...

but that turned out to be a lie too!

Did you get the video?

The Diabettys survival guide?

I worked hard to comfort you on your week alone with her.

Betty has access to all of my accounts.

She might've seen it! I hope you didn't say anything too serious.

This is very serious.

Armando and Ricardo are a couple of bastards, Betty!

You can't let them get away with it.

You own them!

What do you have in mind?

Betty, I'm going to avenge you and destroy them.

Those bastards are so arrogant and blind

that they won't see it coming.

You?

Hello, ma'am. I'm looking for Betty.

Is she here?

Thank you.

Betty's here, but she can't see you.

But why not? Did something happen?

Uh...

She's sick.

She wasn't feeling well when she came home from work.

So, she's unavailable.

Now, please go home.

We wouldn't want you to catch anything.

Yes. Of course.

I'm sorry, ma'am, but Betty left this in the office,

which I thought was strange.

I thought something serious had happened to her.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to be so persistent,

but the way Betty left was very odd.

-Perhaps you could... -No.

No, I can't and I won't.

Stop insisting.

OK. Fine.

Excuse me.

Ma'am...

I should've known this stick figure hadn't gone anywhere.

The nerve of her to sleep on the job.

She must've taken half a bottle of antihistamines

if she's sleeping that soundly.

Will she ever wake up?

She will, but when I've given those pills to my kids,

they don't wake up until the next day.

Then this is our chance.

Girls, it's time to get our revenge.

I have an idea.

She won't mess with Betty's boyfriend again after this.

Armando knows something. He's probably investigating me.

He doesn't know anything. Did you tell him something?

Why would I, sir? Look, I've been very cautious.

I administer, manipulate, and manage my money very well.

He shouldn't suspect anything unusual.

In that case, relax.

I'm not worried

because our business dealings are untraceable.

Besides, we've always been careful.

I know, sir, but Armando...

Mata!

Stop fearing someone who shouldn't be feared.

Armando will soon be nothing but a memory

in the world of business. You just keep doing your thing.

That's what I'm doing.

Good.

Armando doesn't know what he's up against.

Soon his house of cards will come tumbling down.

Let's hope so.

So, sir? Let's hit some balls.

Of course.

All right.

No, Nico. Don't be ridiculous.

How can I get revenge on those people?

Betty, I'm not being ridiculous. Get up and get moving.

You deserve your revenge. You can't get depressed.

You can't let those bastards humiliate you anymore.

We need to hit them where it hurts.

You own their capital.

And as righteous as you are,

you can't allow people to walk all over you.

I know what we're about to do isn't very ethical,

but it's not illegal either.

Hey, Betty.

Speak of the Devil and he shall appear.

Look who's there.

No! He's there!

What do I do, Nicolas?

What do I do?

I don't know, Betty! That depends on you.

What do you want?

Do you want to keep being Armando Mendoza's pet

or do you want to turn into a fearless woman?

Do you want to keep groveling

or do you want to face things head on?

This is your time.

You'll never get this chance again.

Make your choice.

She's coming, she's coming.

Act normal. It's awful.

What are you looking at?

Do I have a clown face or something?

You people are so weird

and today, you're acting weirder than usual.

Beatriz is the worst one, though.

I'm sure she got bitten by a rabid dog.

Hey, you look pretty happy. Where are you going?

I have a date that's going to change my life!

Unlike you, I actually have a life

and I don't need to steal anyone's boyfriend,

because men flock to me.

You don't say, Pathetic Patty!

Sure, you ugly hags might be lucky

but us pretty girls don't give a crap.

What are you doing? What...

Give me my mirror!

No, Patricia. You don't need a mirror.

You look so good.

You don't even have hives anymore.

And your tongue isn't swollen anymore.

You're great. You're ready to go.

You're amazing.

Heck. Here, let me put it away for you.

I'll do it.

Thank you!

Anytime.

I actually like you. But not you!

Toodles.

I'm going to my dinner filled with success and glamour.

The kind of glamour you people only see on TV.

Right.

-Bye. -Bye.

Bye-bye.

Armando did a good job.

Now Anderson has invested in V&M.

If he keeps it up, his liquidity issues will be over.

I hope not.

Though, we both know Armando's days at the company

are numbered.

That's why we need to continue with our plan.

-Of course. -Do you have our man in V&M?

Yes, but it'll cost us.

She knows what she's doing is valuable.

Do you think she'd betray us?

Not at all, sir.

She knows what she's doing

is an infraction, a misdeed, a crime!

If she betrays us, she has a lot to lose.

Perfect.

Armando doesn't know that he's employed someone dangerous.

Call her.

Tell her we're to start immediately.

Yes, sir.

In fact, this is for her.

Come on.

Betty, he's gone.

Why are you still staring out the window?

Nico, I saw him.

He seemed like he wanted to talk to me.

He was desperate to talk to me.

-Betty. -I'm serious.

I know him very well. He didn't look well.

What if he's innocent?

-Armando is innocent! -What?

Don't laugh.

I have a theory.

Ricardo Calderon made that video

so I'd see it and I'd stop trusting Armando.

Yeah, for a while now, I've had this feeling that he hates me

because Armando trusts me and listens to me.

And he hates that.

He just did it to end our relationship.

Armando's innocent.

Betty, are you dreaming again?

Wake up.

Get your head out of the clouds.

Your boss is just as guilty as Calderon...

or more.

Who seduced you? He did.

Who manipulated you? Also him.

You don't understand! I know him!

I saw him. He looked shaken up.

Of course! How could he not be?

He knows you own V&M, BAR, his house in the Hamptons and him,

if it comes to that.

Betty, you need to accept this.

They made a fool out of you.

They used you and want to keep manipulating you.

Of course Mendoza's worried.

If he loses you, he loses everything.

That's why you can't keep lying to yourself.

You need to get ready to fight back.

Armando and his friend will want to screw you till the end.

Now, keep your chin up.

Uh-huh.

Coming!

-Marce... -Hello.

I was wondering if you were ready

for the meeting with Anderson.

No.

As you can see, I'm... not ready.

Can I help you with something?

You can help me... change.

Anything.

I'd love to please you...

I'd love to tear these clothes off

and let the passion take over...

But for that to happen, you need to say the magic word

so I can let you in.

OK.

What's the magic word? I'll say anything.

I want you to tell me the name of Armando's lover.

You can't come in without saying the magic word.

What's her name?

Come on. It's just a name. Say it.

Tell me. What's her name?

What letter does her name start with?

All right. You asked.

Beatriz Rincon.

Beatriz?

Of course!

How could I not see it?

Obviously!

They're always together and I...

Do you think I'm stupid?

Armando would never be interested

in the ugliest woman in New York!

You asked me and I told you.

I'm sick of your lies!

I thought you were a different man,

but you're the same immature infant you've always been!

Get out of my sight!

-Marcela, let me... -What?

What are you going to tell me? Beatriz... yeah, right!

I never want to see you again!

Ever! Bye!

Beatriz! Yeah, right!

Ricardo, we're in big trouble.

I'm almost certain Betty saw the video you sent me.

Hold up.

When you opened it, did it say "read"?

No, but you know those things can be changed.

Betty won't even talk to me or see me.

I even went to her house and they wouldn't let me in.

Her mom said she was sick, but you should've seen her face.

It's like she knew.

Armando, hold on. You're being paranoid.

Betty left without saying anything.

She even left her phone behind. I don't believe that she's sick.

OK, let's hope she didn't see the video.

Otherwise, our little act is over.

If Beatriz finds out, we're dead.

You're an idiot!

Why'd you have to send that video?

I'll sit at my usual table.

Hugo!

Patricia... I didn't know you were working cabarets.

What?

And that you were rocking the makeup in daytime.

-Are you drunk? -No.

-Drugged? -You know what?

Since cabarets were a thing of the past until right now,

let's take a selfie for Instagram.

Smile!

No! How awful. The horror!

Welcome to your social exile.

You belong in the V&M Squad with that look.

Don't look at me! Don't!

No one look at me! This is so embarrassing!

Tell me the name of Armando's lover.

Beatriz Rincon.

Patricia, it's me. Call me ASAP.

I need to know what's going on with Armando.

Bye!

INCOMING CALL MARCELA

Hello.

Hey, hon. What are you doing?

I can't believe it's only been a day and you're jealous.

Sorry.

I was just wondering how you were doing.

I was just curious.

I know all about your curiosity.

I'm heading home to get some rest.

If you don't believe me, send your spy after me.

What? What are you talking about?

Patricia.

I'm sure you told her to keep an eye on me.

Of course not!

What's the matter with you, Armando?

Why are you treating me like this?

You're unbearable.

Yes, yes, I am. Talk to you later.

Well, excuse me!

Why is Betty home so early?

Was there an event at the company

or did her boss send her home?

She wasn't feeling well, so she came to get some rest.

If you aren't feeling well at work,

you take a pill and get back to work.

Or does she have a doctor's note or something?

Did she go to the doctor

or do something to justify her leaving early?

She just needs to rest.

Oh, wow! Now we're a family of doctors.

I'd have saved a lot on hospital bills

if I'd just gotten some rest.

If you don't want to tell me, I'll just ask Betty, period.

Your daughter isn't feeling well because she's got cramps.

Yes, Mom. They're a nightmare.

Logically, she deserves some privacy.

She shouldn't have to be questioned about it,

especially by her dad.

Oh, my! I almost messed up.

I mean, it's completely natural.

It's proof that a woman's body is a perfect machine.

I didn't mean to make my daughter

or any of you uncomfortable.

Please accept my apologies.

I told you it was OK, but sometimes you're just so...

I beg your pardon?

She says you're just being you.

I thought I heard something else.

Call Betty.

Calling Betty.

Betty, Betty, what's wrong? Answer me. I'm worried.

I don't know why you won't see me or answer my calls.

I had to cancel a meeting

because you never made it or called.

I just wanted to tell you something really important

to both of us.

I just wanted to tell you that now that we're alone,

we can spend more time together.

I don't know why you left V&M like that.

You left your phone and everything.

Please pick up.

Your mom said you weren't feeling well.

I'm worried.

Please just let me know you're OK

or if there's anything I can do to help.

Please, Betty. You know... You know I love you.

You know that, right?

Liar! Liar! I hate you!

No, Betty! Don't break it!

It's expensive!

Nicolas, he's a liar!

He keeps texting me he wants to see me

and be with me!

What a liar!

Betty, calm down.

I hate to tell you this, but... I told you so.

And not just once or twice,

I warned you like a gazillion times.

I never thought him capable of doing something this awful.

OK, the million-dollar question is...

What will you do now?

I'm going to tell him what a bastard he is!

-You're a horrible son of a... -No, no!

-You piece of... -No, no, no...

Betty! About time you answered.

My love, sorry I disappeared so mysteriously.

It wasn't my intention to worry you.

I just had a really bad headache.

I didn't know you got migraines.

Sometimes they're so bad,

I have to go straight to the hospital.

That's why I came straight home without telling you.

Mom told me you came to give me my phone.

She just didn't want to wake me up

because I'd taken a really strong sedative

and it had just taken effect.

I love that you're so thoughtful

and that you're always so worried about me,

Your one and great love.

Isn't that right?

Yours truly, your Betty.

Oh, Betty... you're so corny, but I love it.

The good news is that everything is OK

and you didn't see that damn video.

Ouch, Betty!

I don't write like that. That's too corny.

I'm not like that.

Betty, don't worry. Men can't tell the difference

between a sonnet from the Spanish Golden Age

and a cooking recipe,

especially that idiot Armando Mendoza.

Don't worry, Betty.

Give me back my phone, Nicolas.

Forget it.

This phone is henceforth quarantined

until tomorrow morning when you get your brain back

and you can think clearly.

Right now, you're too angry.

I don't think you can use your head.

Besides, you want to erase my work of art

and you can't do that.

Of course, I can!

Betty, get back! You see?

That's why I don't want to give it back.

Tomorrow, when you're cool, calm, and collected,

I'll give it back.

We could even plan something.

Just stay there.

I love my work of art.

Marce! I want to die!

Those horrible women almost killed me!

They're so dangerous. They ruined everything.

They ruined my dinner.

I don't understand why they hate me so much.

I've never done anything to them. I've never done anything to anyone.

Why does the universe hate me so?

Are you OK, Patricia? What happened?

No, I'm not OK. I'm uglier than Beatriz!

I'm gonna need therapy to get over this. I swear!

They took pictures of me.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

What'll people say about me? It's like social suicide!

Why don't you calm down and tell me what they did to you?

They put horrible make up on me.

They put so much make up on me that I can't get rid of it!

They took advantage of me while I was sleeping.

You fell asleep? Where?

Where else? At V&M!

And don't even think about saying anything.

Everyone sleeps at the office. I'm sure you have.

That's when they took advantage of me.

I woke up and I looked like the queen at a gay parade.

Are you absolutely certain the Squad was responsible?

Of course I am!

Those women are criminals! They're like gangbangers!

They move in herds!

They're like vultures, always circling overhead.

They are always like that! I can't do this anymore.

Marce, please help me.

All right. I'll talk to Smith tomorrow.

I'll send him an email.

This can't happen at V&M.

Thank you, Marce. You're a good friend. I love you.

Hey, are you doing what I asked you?

What?

Keeping an eye on Armando, Patricia!

Don't tell me you forgot!

No. Of course not!

But what was I supposed to do?

Follow Armando all over Manhattan

looking like a geisha?

It wasn't my fault. It was the Squad.

They're the reason Armando has the night off.

-Nico. -Huh?

You can go if you want. I feel better.

No, you're not.

I'm staying.

I even missed a very important date.

If I leave, the first thing you'll do

is grab your mom or your dad's phone

and you'll call or text that idiot Mendoza to insult him,

thereby tipping him off.

I don't want anything to do with him, with BAR or with V&M.

Betty, that's exactly what you can't do.

Betty you're far too implicated in V&M's future bankruptcy.

Besides, you're BAR's president.

If you leave, they'll win.

Is this why you were top in your class?

You'd ruin your professional reputation?

Not to mention that you'd be involved in a legal mess.

What about your family?

Haven't you thought about them or me?

I'm up to my neck in this too. Betty, it's dangerous.

People would do anything for money.

They'd even seduce a poor assistant with a good heart.

So, according to you, what should I do?

Betty, we need to pretend like nothing has happened.

We'll act only when things are in our favor.

Betty, those people have an advantage over us

and you and I are alone.

They can't know you know.

If they think you'll turn on them

and that they'll lose millions of dollars,

their houses, and their properties,

they'll do everything in their power

to make you what they always wanted you to be.

And what's that?

A scapegoat. What else?

Don't you get it?

You've always been the sacrificial lamb

they were fattening up.

Got it?

Got it.

You're right. I'll do what you tell me to.

I'm going to calm down.

Tomorrow we'll plan our strategy.

Come here.

Oh, I hadn't seen you. Thank you.

Really, thanks a lot.

Cheers.

Sorry.

Betty.

Yes, Mr. Armando?

Your trust and your loyalty are very important to me right now.

You're a great friend.

I don't... want to be your friend.

Why?

I hate you! You're a liar!

I hate you...

I hate you!

I can't...

I can't.

Why, Armando?

Why?

Nicolas, you scared me.

What are you doing here so early?

What do you mean?

I promised you yesterday that I wouldn't leave you alone

and here I am.

How are you feeling? Better?

Yeah, I'm better.

Good.

Now I want you to promise me something.

That you won't send a death note to Mr. Armando

or declare war on him. Do you promise?

OK. I promise I won't.

Don't worry. I can go alone. I'm OK.

Really?

How can you be OK after last night?

OK, I'm not OK.

You're absolutely right.

I won't talk to him until I decide what I'm going to do.

Can I have my phone back?

Betty, I think we should discuss this with the lawyers.

What for?

We both know I'm deep in this mess.

Besides, I just have to make a decision.

I just don't know which.

Well, just don't do anything stupid.

Don't let your feelings get the better of you.

And you don't have to tell me anything.

I know that in spite of all this, you still love him,

and that's OK.

I know, but it's a love that's no good for me.

Like milk.

Or worse, pork.

Laugh.

OK, Nico...

I have to go.

But I promise I'll control myself.

See you tonight.

Have a good day, Betty.

Go. Be happy, Betty.

Betty! Keep your chin up!

This will be the color palate we'll use for the wedding.

Do you like it?

Yeah, it's perfect.

All right, great.

So, Armando, how's Betty?

Betty?

What do you mean? Did she say something?

No, nothing in particular.

She just didn't seem well yesterday.

Yeah, I think she was sick, but she's doing all right.

Don't you think you might be asking too much of her?

We need to remain consistent right now.

I understand,

but I would suggest you find a way to alleviate her workload

for a few days, unless you want her to collapse.

She needs a vacation or to spend time with her boyfriend.

What's his name again?

Who? Her boyfriend?

Yeah.

Nicolas... I think.

Nicolas! Right.

Do you know him?

Who? Nicolas?

Yeah, no one in V&M has seen him

and many think he's a figment of her imagination.

A figment? Not at all.

I know him.

He came here once and I talked to him.

I know Nicolas, her boyfriend...

You're lucky because no one else has ever seen him.

Don't you think this is all weird?

Yeah. A bit.

Hey, hey! Mrs. Juli, don't.

Don't be mean. Let me work, please.

Oh, sure. I'll let you work.

The stock market's about to open.

Just tell me what was wrong with Betty.

I'm sure the problem was with her boss.

He even showed up here.

-Don't tell me. -Yes!

Why don't you ask Betty?

My job was to console her not be your informant.

No, don't... Ow!

You didn't let me talk to her

because you were going to tell me everything.

Now go on. Don't back out.

No, ma'am! I'm a man's man!

I would never back out! But even if I did, so what?

No, no, no!

OK, OK, I'll do whatever you say!

You're right. Anything you want.

Betty asked you not to tell me anything.

Is that it?

OK, I'll ask you the same. Don't tell her anything.

Just please give her my advice.

Tell her to stay away from Armando Mendoza.

She's changed ever since she started working for him.

She's not the same.

And I don't like that relationship of theirs.

Tell her to just stay away from trouble.

Help me.

Yes, ma'am.

-Betty! -Come here!

Thank God you're here. We were waiting for you.

Yesterday, Mr. Armando interrogated us

with very powerful mental techniques.

But we didn't crack.

What happened with Nicolas? Did you catch him red-handed?

-Did you beat him up? -Did he plead with you?

I don't understand. What are you talking about?

We're talking about yesterday.

Betty,

We have reason to believe Nicolas and you had a fight.

That skinny skank was trying to steal him, wasn't she?

Don't worry.

Sandrita and I picked up the stuffed animals.

The stuffed animals? You saw them?

Yes.

Yes, thanks. It was just a false alarm. Everything's great.

Wait, I'll just say this.

If you have any issues with anyone,

your Squad is here for you. We've got your back.

Just say the word and I'll start kicking asses

and scratching eyes out.

I can always just slap them.

Sure.

Yeah...

OK. Don't worry about me.

I can take care of myself.

OK.

In general, we're looking at a very open concept.

I'd like to keep the pieces exposed.

We could organize them by color.

That way the brand will stand out

with an organic and eclectic concept.

That's a very good idea. It's very innovative.

What do you think, sweetie?

It's OK, but it seems outdated.

It needs to be more fresh, more modern, and innovative.

Something similar to what I saw in London.

I can show you some pictures so you'll understand.

Of course.

This is the latest trend.

Pipes, hooks...

it's more urban and in.

It's something that taps into your emotions

but also makes you want to buy stuff.

Well, that's all very interesting,

but I think Marcela's proposal

is more in line with your clientele.

No, Ricardo. I thought you had better taste,

but I guess I was mistaken.

There they are, Mr. Smith!

They've been properly identified.

What's the matter? What's wrong?

Don't play stupid.

What you did to me yesterday was psychological torture!

You're gangbangers! You're bullies!

Yeah, sure. We did it.

Come on. Cry.

Miss Fernandez has made very serious accusations.

If I prove they're true,

then let's solve those problems right now.

Sure, we'll solve them.

Just a second. Two of you are missing.

Which two?

The other two criminals.

Aura Maria and Ines.

Aura Maria! Call Ines and come here.

Betty.

Betty, we need to talk.

I know what happened.

I know you saw the video Ricardo recorded.

Silly!

Serves you right for being so nosy!

I just wanted to find out if you were checking my emails

without my permission. I told Ricardo to send

something you wouldn't be able to resist opening.

It was all a lie.

Seriously?

Being together wasn't just a plan to save V&M.

No, of course not. I love you with all my heart.

I'd never lie to you.

Oh, honey! Sorry for not trusting you!

No, forgive me for making you doubt us.
