IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

Betty!

Let her be!

Can't you see she and her boyfriend

are sharing a romantic moment?

Don't worry, Betty. This was the first move.

We're showing all those people

that these geeks aren't stupid.

Earth to Armando. Where are you?

What do you want? My mind is elsewhere.

Do I have to answer everything?

Watch it. I'm not your employee.

I'm not in the mood and I don't want to ruin your meal.

You're not leaving, are you? Don't leave!

He left!

Why were you kissing him?

You said there was nothing going on between you two.

Nicolas is my friend.

I'm not an idiot! Stop lying to me!

I'm not. Don't talk to me about lies.

I didn't lie to you.

I love you. I love you, Betty.

I love you.

Hello, hello!

Mr. Armando? What are you doing here?

Hello, sir. How are you?

Sorry, but um...

He was just leaving. He came to drop something off.

Leaving? Have you offered him something to drink?

Julia!

What is it, honey?

Mr. Armando is staying for dinner.

Sir, I'm really very sorry, but I have to go.

Honey, his fiancée is surely waiting for him in Manhattan.

Best of luck to you, sir.

Thank you. Excuse me.

You should get going or you'll get stuck in traffic.

Yes, that's right. Betty, see you tomorrow.

I'll go do what I promised.

Excuse me, sir.

-You're excused. -Goodbye and good day.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Hi, you've reached Marcela Valencia.

Leave a message after the beep.

Marcela, I need to talk to you urgently.

Please call me when you get the chance.

Marianita, were you able to see what Romina has posted online?

Yes, look. She's posted some pictures.

Let's see.

All right.

Who is that child?

-Maybe her son. -No, she doesn't have children.

Except the one she's expecting.

All right. Let's see.

What's that? Zoom in there.

-That looks like a painting, doesn't it? -It does.

That painting... I think I've seen it somewhere.

Where? I don't know.

Fabi, this is definitely the best work I've ever produced.

Could you do me a favor?

Go to the grocery store and get me a laurel crown.

-I deserve it! -Oh, you're exaggerating.

I know you'll soon be named the king of fashion in New York.

Your best times are still ahead.

I'm living my best days as a professional

and I also... have you.

I love you.

I'm madly in love with you. I'm very happy.

I really am. Do you know how happy I am?

How happy are you?

3.1416 solar systems

in which Pluto is considered a planet.

In that case, we have to celebrate.

Shall I get the champagne?

Whatever you want.

That's Hugo's collection. The designs are ready.

Very good. I like it.

We need to find a designer who'll take ownership of it.

We'll find someone unknown.

This will be their glorious, brilliant,

and spectacular debut.

V&M will lose its next collection

and current president.

Mariana, where's Marcela?

Ms. Maria Lucia came to pick her up and they both left.

When is she coming back?

I couldn't say.

She asked me to cancel all of her afternoon appointments.

Thank you.

Armando, finally. Can we talk?

I have nothing to say to you.

Mariana, if you talk to her, tell her I'm looking for her.

Don't tell me you planned on telling Marcela the truth here.

Stay out of it, Ricardo. This isn't your problem.

-No? -No.

Of course it is!

You're my best friend and I'm worried, bro.

-You're being irrational. -What can I do?

What should I do? Betty's doubting me.

This is all a strategy. She's manipulating you.

No, no. Betty isn't like us.

She doesn't know about strategies or manipulation.

Blah, blah, blah... Of course she does!

Why else would she lie and send reports for you?

Why else?

Why else? She did it for love.

Oh, how sweet! So cute!

If she loved you, she wouldn't be kissing another man.

Open your eyes! Beatriz is no angel.

I already told you not to badmouth her.

Enough.

-Are you blind? -What?

Can't you see it? You're throwing away years of work,

your dreams of being president and for what?

Huh? For what?

For a troll who doesn't love you?

-It's the truth, bro! -Incoming!

What? Don't you have anything better to do?

-Hi, honey. -What a horrible day.

Damned uggo!

-Are you OK? -Who said you could come in?

You're all the same.

I heard Ms. Marcela say she'd argued with Mr. Armando.

Think he's upset because he knows what's going on between them?

We still can't be sure there's something going on.

Can't we?

What's this?

Why are you whispering? What'd I miss? Spill.

I ran into Mr. Ricardo in his office and he was very upset.

Oh!

Oh, that's nice.

Yes, some weird things are happening.

If I only told you.

And... what do you know?

-Me? -Confess!

I walked in on Mr. Ricardo.

I told you.

I knew it was true.

I found him in Betty's office going through her things.

When he saw me, he left everything as it was.

Guess not.

What? I don't think I understand

or that I'm not a part of this conversation.

-Err... -What are we talking about?

Um... nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing. Betty.

Do you think Betty has anything to do with their argument?

With the conversation we listened to? What I told you...?

Yes, some very strange things are happening here, in this place, right?

You're absolutely right.

The atmosphere is charged and the energy isn't flowing.

-I'm going to flow. -Let's flow.

-You can flow in the restroom if you want. -Let's get flowing.

I mean, I spoke to the officer and she said so too.

Why do I have to pay so much?

Well, you soon will. I'll show you, you incompetent fool!

I'll show you who I am once I send my lawyer after you!

What do you want?

According to a DUI study,

if you're screwed, you'll always be screwed.

Even if you drive a luxury car.

You'd better watch what you say about DUI!

You don't even know what its parking lot looks like!

I studied Finance for three semesters there.

Go back to your desk, meatball!

Was that all you could afford? Poor thing.

I hate you!

What should I...

I don't understand. Where are our earnings?

Right here, Betty!

What? All that?

It happened before I had the chance to sneeze.

Oh, I don't know how I feel. I think I'm nervous.

No, don't be nervous. You should be happy instead.

Thanks to this we'll soon be out of the hole V&M put us in

and you'll soon be able to walk out of that hell

with your head held high.

Let me see.

No, no.

Who's that? Who was it?

It... Uh... The stock market. They messaged you about everything.

Ever since I won, they want to know everything about me and...

No, no! Aw!

Nicolas!

Since when does brain dead Patricia Fernandez work on the stock market?

Just look at my baby. Look at how hot she is.

I told you not to go out with that arrogant lady!

I tried, but it's Cupid's fault.

I was struck by his arrow.

Yes, and now you love her and she loves your wallet.

My wallet? I only gave her $100.

You gave her money?

It was my money. BAR's money is intact. Don't worry about that.

I can't believe you.

You're always lecturing me because I fell for Armando,

but you're worse!

Patricia only wants money! Period!

That's slander.

Listen, you have the video Ricardo sent Armando.

Are you in Patricia's head? Do you know what she's thinking?

How can you be so sure?

You're right.

I bet she wants to see you today, doesn't she?

Yes, but that has nothing to do with anything.

You can go see her, but you can't take your credit card or any money.

No, Betty, why don't we do something?

Can I at least have my subway card?

How else will I get to where Patri is?

No.

-Please? -No.

Hello, hello.

-Hey. -Here I am.

Where were you?

Oh, guess!

Maria Lucia took me over to one of the spas she loves

and I got a massage, an acupuncture treatment,

my chakras were aligned, and we did yoga together.

They even took my phone away.

Yeah, I noticed. I spent the afternoon trying to reach you.

Yeah, I noticed that, given your many messages.

You have no idea how much I needed this.

I also think you should go.

Lately, you've been sour and irritable.

Are you feeling better now?

Yes.

Well, no, not really. I'm still a bit tense.

I'm sorry for yelling at you and acting like I did,

but I think we need to talk.

Talk?

That sounds bad.

Well, it might be bad at first,

but it'll prove to be better in the long run.

Marce...

Are you expecting someone?

No, I'm not.

Yes?

-Surprise! -Surprise!

How are you, sweetheart?

-Sweetie! -Hi!

-How are you? -Fine.

-Welcome! -How are you? Everything OK?

Hi. How are you?

Son, wipe that dumb look off your face.

We're not ghosts.

Coming here earlier was your mother's idea.

She thinks that if she's not close,

the wedding will be a disaster.

Pour me a whiskey. I'm tired.

You're so mean.

I wanted to come because I wanted to help Marcelita

with the final touches for the wedding.

I'm thrilled to have you here and to have your help

because the levels of stress here are off the charts.

I hope we didn't interrupt a romantic evening.

No. Not at all.

Would you like some champagne?

Yes, of course. I'll have some.

You know your mother.

She's manipulative

and she wants to have everything within her grasp.

She thinks that without her the wedding will be...

What is it?

-What? -You're tense and serious.

Is there trouble at V&M?

No, everything is fine. We're working on the new line.

You can see it tomorrow. You'll love it.

All right.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Don't worry, Roberto.

Your son is only focused on V&M.

Sometimes I wonder if he remembers I exist.

Isn't that right, honey?

Hi, Nico.

Hi, Patri.

Do you like my outfit?

Yes, I...

I like it, but I like your body more.

Oh, yeah?

And what part of my body do you like best?

My legs?

Yes.

Yes, your legs because... they're very soft

and you have two of them.

They smell nice.

Would you like a massage? Come here.

-Patri... -What?

I brought you a surprise.

It's good.

You can't grill it,

but they sell it in the store around the corner

and it was on sale.

Here you go.

You're so funny.

You don't know how much I've missed you.

I missed you so very much.

I had a horrible, horrendous day today.

Oh! Your hearing aid.

Sometimes I think I've come to this world to suffer.

Why is that, Patri? Did you run out of ice again?

No, it's a lot worse than that.

They took my baby away!

I don't know what to do. I can't pay for it.

They're asking for an absurd amount of money.

I swear it's keeping me up at night. I don't know what to do.

Would you loan me money?

Oh, that's so nice, Charly.

The massage, the wine, the movie?

Everything.

This moment.

And you still haven't let me show you my specialties.

Culinary?

No, I'll leave that to you.

My specialty is in a different field.

No, wait!

That tickles.

Shh!

Don't blow on my ear. It tickles.

Hey...

what if...

what if I turn the TV off?

No, leave it on. It's the perfect alibi.

Wait, wait. What if the boys get up?

-They know we're together... -But--

and I'm dying to be with you and wake up by your side.

-Charly, I hit myself. -Let me stay with you.

Oh, it's just that...

I knew it.

I knew it!

Damn traitor!

Hey!

Hey, how are you?

Look who we have here.

Who?

Ricardo Calderon. What a coincidence.

You've had too much to drink, haven't you?

Who broke your heart and made you ruin your reputation?

Look who we have here.

Maria Lucia, lover of all things esoteric.

Yes, I'm... drunk,

but it's not because I'm heartbroken and there's no reputation to protect.

I'm merely a Calderon.

Join me.

Tell me something.

Do you believe in coincidences?

I see I'm about to meet the philosopher in you, Ricardo.

No, it's quite the opposite.

I'm more lucid than ever and I pay attention to the signs.

You came as an answer to my questions.

What would you like to drink, Maria Lucia Valencia?

Valencia!

Valencia!

Why are you by yourself?

Marce is about to finish with the carbonara.

You know your father loves it.

Come and join us.

I'm tired, Mom.

You have bags under your eyes.

You look haggard, honey.

You look worried. What is it?

Things have changed.

I'm not my old self and I can't go on lying.

Lying? What do you mean?

You shouldn't have stopped by.

I was about to tell Marcela the truth.

What are you talking about? Explain yourself.

Mom...

I know this has always been your dream, but it's not mine.

I'm going to call off the wedding. I'm not going to marry Marcela.

You can't call it off!

I can and I will. Marrying her would be a mistake.

Everything was fine months ago. What happened?

I don't love Marcela anymore. Isn't that enough?

No, son, you can't do this.

You're going to break that poor girl's heart.

Please don't say anything.

You've always been very impulsive.

Maybe you're just... confused, son.

No, I've never felt more sure of anything in my life.

Mom, I know you adore Marcela. I do too.

I care about her.

If I marry her, I'll only hurt her and that's not fair.

Mom, I take full responsibility for whatever happens, but...

What are you whispering about?

You know very well carbonara is meant to be eaten hot.

Please come to the table. Come on.

Let's go.

Mom? Mom, what's wrong? Are you OK?

-No, I'm not OK. -Calm down.

-I can't breathe. -Calm down.

I can't breathe!

Mom. Calm down.

Disgusting!

Are you going to continue denying you had a thing behind my back?

Where the hell did you get the key to the house?

That's not the point, Sofia! That's not the point!

The point is that you two are doing the nasty in my house

and in front of my sons!

This place should be sacred to you!

This place isn't sacred! You saw to that first!

-You brought your skank in here with you. -Oh, come on!

You moved her in with me. And you know what else?

For your information and in case you've forgotten, we're divorced!

I have every right to kiss him, the neighbors,

and every man on the block if I so pleased.

What?

You know that what we have is ours.

Oh.

I'm going to beat you up!

Oh, no, stop!

-Daddy! -Daddy!

Damn!

I hope I didn't ruin your ladies' night.

Not at all. My friends found company.

I see. What about you?

You're not on the prowl like them?

No. I'll pass.

Ever since I became a widow, I'd rather watch from afar.

Boring! When are you getting back in the game?

I don't know.

Whenever I find a catch... or if I'm interested in the opposing team.

You surprise me, Maria Lucia.

I didn't know you were such an interesting woman.

That's me, the hidden crown jewel of the Valencias.

Though you turned out to be quite the charmer yourself.

That's amazing.

Sometimes we look elsewhere for what's right in front of us.

Why don't we go somewhere we can be incoherent together?

I like extreme sports, but I'm not suicidal.

So we won't be playing tonight,

and you won't be driving in your condition.

We can share a taxi to my place, you'll say goodbye at the door,

and then you'll go home like the good boy you are.

That's a terrible idea, but all right, Saint Malu.

All right.

I promise I won't drive,

I promise to behave like a gentleman

and drop you off at your door's house without touching you.

Unless you change your mind on the way there, that is.

Where are you staying?

A hotel?

No. Marcela's house. Do you know where it is?

I know exactly where it is.

Mom, are you sure you don't want us to call a doctor?

No, son. I'm feeling better already.

-Please help me up. -Sure.

Easy.

-Thank you, son. -Thank you.

-Are you OK? -Yes.

-Are you sure? -Yes. Thank you.

Are you going to tell me what happened?

Yes.

I was talking to Armando

and we were going to join you.

I stood up and suddenly my chest felt tight,

I couldn't breathe... and then everything went black.

It happened all of a sudden? That's strange.

Were you upset? Were you talking about anything in particular?

You were whispering to each other when I walked in.

What really happened?

We were talking about the wedding.

I told Armando we wanted to give a toast at the reception.

-Isn't that right? -Yes, that was it.

You're worrying too much about that wedding.

She's been worrying about you two for a long time.

I don't know why, though.

This wedding has always been our dream,

your mother's and mine.

I know my parents would be very happy.

And they are, sweetheart.

They are.

I'm sure they're showering you with blessings from above.

Because...

you two...

were born to be together.

You were made for one another.

Right?

Of course they are!

Ow! Easy!

Don't yell at me.

-Animal! -Calm down.

Mom, I want my hair to be blue like Daddy's.

And I want my eyebrows to match his.

See what you do by being so irresponsible and immature?

Idiot.

Daddy, are you staying here tonight or are you staying with your other wife?

Sweetie, let's set the record straight once and for all.

Your dad lives in another house with his new woman.

He and I are divorced.

I'm a single woman and I live by myself in this house.

Is that clear?

Good. Now that you've made sure your dad is perfectly fine

and that he only suffered a minor scratch,

say goodbye so you can go brush your teeth and get to bed.

Go on.

Let me know when you're done so I can go check that you did.

No, don't say bye.

I'll be up to make sure you brushed your teeth and cleaned thoroughly.

How's the sexiest and prettiest love bug in the galaxy doing?

I'm glad you're in a good mood. Don't wait up for me tonight.

I was invited to an after-party after the show...

When will that be?

Kisses and sweet dreams, cutie!

You made a special dinner just for me?

An erotic dinner?

Well, I'm on my way.

Kisses, babe.

-I'm leaving. -Good.

-I leave you. -Good.

-Help me up. I'm dizzy. -You're dizzy? Let's see.

-Look. -You poor thing.

I can't stay any longer because my woman

prepared a special dinner and she's expecting me.

-Great. -An erotic dinner.

-Cool. -I'm her stud, her man.

Wow.

There's still unfinished business between us.

-Traitor. -Efrain!

My keys.

Next time you decide to enter without permission,

I'll report you for trespassing. Understood?

When will it end?

I don't know.

Where were we before we were rudely interrupted?

Oh, I remember! We were right here!

Come here, darling!

I'm really good.

I learned to do this in Thailand.

I learned alongside...

Oh, no! Are you asthmatic too?

No, Patri, it's a phobia.

I don't externalize my sneezes. Don't worry, though.

I'm having my doctors change my respiratory system.

No, I do have to worry. We have to go to an ATM now.

If we go later, it'll be colder and we'll be tired.

Let's go to the ATM now.

After we wash the dishes.

Why do you want to go to the ATM?

What do you mean?

I thought we were going to withdraw the money I asked for.

No, we can't today

because I didn't bring my wallet, cash, or cards.

I don't have anything on me.

Don't worry. It's fine.

But you know, my head is killing me. Ow!

What's wrong? Are you OK?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

I just need to unblock my Chi, open up my chakras and sleep for nine hours.

It's not your fault. It's my fault.

But I think you should go.

-Yes, yes. -OK.

-Come on. -Yes.

Yes, my...

OK...

Patri... let me know when you feel better or if you need anything.

Yes, unblock your Chi.

Perfect.

Uh... the wine.

OK.

I'm not doing anything for free.

How are you feeling, Mom?

Good, son. Better.

Excuse me, I just spotted Parker.

I'm going to say hello. Be right back.

OK.

Have you spoken to Marcela?

No, not yet.

Good.

Before you do, I need you to take me somewhere.

The doctor's office? Sure.

We need to know why your blood pressure dropped so suddenly.

We both know exactly why it happened.

Mom, I understand you're worried,

but it's my decision and I need you to respect it.

You're about to make the worst mistake of your life.

Please calm down. Don't get upset. It's the last thing you need right now.

Very well.

When your father comes back,

we'll tell him we need to be alone for a few hours.

You're going to take me somewhere.

Sure. Where are we going?

You'll see. He's coming back.

Is everything OK?

-Yes. -Yes, honey.

How's Parker doing?

He's doing quite well.

It'd been a while since I last saw him.

Sweetie, Mr. Armando comes by to see you very often, huh?

Um... yes.

No. A normal amount.

There's a lot going on at the company right now.

He seemed worried. Is the company in trouble?

Yes. No!

The usual things.

But he's very apprehensive,

so he likes to supervise everything up close.

I'd never heard of a boss who visits his employees at home.

Does he only visit you?

Betty is no mere employee.

She and BAR are doing very important things with Armando's capital.

Exactly. It's just that. That's why.

Furthermore, Mr. Armando is a stand-up guy.

He comes here so Betty won't have to go out late at night.

Betty also says that, but I think she's working too much.

You should find something more relaxed.

Nicolas and I work there too. It's too relaxed.

Sometimes I feel bad cashing my check.

I have a hard time coming up with things to keep me busy.

I'm going to talk to him when I see him.

No, or you won't.

He already knows and he agrees completely.

He's happy because the company's doing great.

Nico multiplied his capital on the stock market.

True enough.

Just remember not to be swayed by money. Or other things.

What other things?

Power, sweetie.

The Devil tempts us, but we're the ones who set ourselves up.

I want to buy you out of the company. Name your price.

Buy me out?

You can't afford a stapler, but you want to buy me out?

That's not your problem.

I'll take out a loan or I'll figure something out.

I just don't want to work with a traitor anymore.

You're sleeping with my wife!

You're divorced.

I don't know how long you've been together!

Relax, will you?

Sofia and I are single. You're dating Jenny.

How does it affect you?

I can't trust you anymore!

I shared my problems with you

because I thought we were friends, Char... Carlos.

You took advantage of that. That was wrong.

Stop being so dramatic and get to work.

Make money so you can provide for your sons...

Don't mess with my sons!

Then let Sofia be happy! You've put her down too many times.

Hey! How are you?

It's been too long, hasn't it?

Good. Hey...

So are you married?

No?

That's great! Me neither!

No love bug wants... to date me.

That's great.

Yes, I know the restaurant.

OK, great. See you there.

Kisses! Bye-bye!

Get a load of that, Efrain-sufferable.

Time for you to suffer... love bug.

No, Nico, I haven't talked to them.

I don't know if they're calling off the wedding.

I haven't heard anything either.

Yes, I'll call you back. Bye.

Girl, am I interrupting?

Not at all. Come on in.

Great. I have something terrible to tell you.

What?

Yesterday, I found Mr. Ricardo going through your things.

-What? -Exactly.

I was all like... but he decided to play dumb.

What was he looking for?

I have no idea.

Did he take anything?

No, I don't think so. I can't be really sure.

He was all like...

Thank you for telling me.

You're welcome.

What?

Where are you going? Don't rat me out.

Don't worry.

I wasn't fired for blowing a gasket, but they'll fire me for snitching!

Where did you and your mother go?

She wanted to place flowers at the Valencias' graves.

We've always had such sad memories of the Valencias

and we've always felt very responsible for their children, particularly Marcela.

Yes, of course.

Dad, don't take this the wrong way, but I know you very well.

What are you doing here? Why are you here?

I've always been honest with you so I'll get right to it.

Rumor has it that the company is in trouble.

Is that true?

Tell me if it's true. Are we in financial straits?
