Original subtitles

Armando gave it to me last night.

Congratulations.

Tell Armando's lover that

even though you're helping her, she'll never take my place.

You shouldn't have given Marcela that ring.

Don't throw your future away.

Neither Ricardo nor that insignificant Beatriz

will give you a dime when you lose everything.

You know, the board meeting is coming up and I wanted to...

You wanted me to once again

fudge the numbers.

-Yes, can you? -I already am.

Prepare Beatriz's termination.

Double her severance so she doesn't complain.

ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

Ines! Breathe!

Ines' blood pressure went up and she's in the hospital.

I'm on my way.

What are you doing here?

Picking up Betty, my girlfriend.

Betty's coming with me. I talked to her,

and I'm taking her home.

I can handle two and even three men of your diminutive stature.

Nico, Armando! What's going on? No!

-Ouch, my hand! -Nico!

Break them up!

They're going to kill each other!

-Somebody stop them! -Who should we root for?

What's going on here? Who's he fighting?

-Is that... Beatriz's boyfriend? -Cut it out!

-Let's see... -Let go of each other!

Nicolas! Let's go!

Let's go!

-We're leaving! -Everything is spinning.

Let's go!

-I won, right? -Betty!

-Let me take a look at him. -Let's go!

What happened?

What's all this, Armie? What happened?

Don't you have anything better to do?

We'll talk later.

That woman

will finally be out of the company

and it'll finally be my time to shine!

Slow down, OK? Slow down.

Oh, Marce, it's just that... I'm so happy!

You don't know how I've suffered because of her.

Well, you do know. I will say one thing, Marcela.

When I become Armando's assistant,

he won't get to keep me in that cave like her.

All right, relax. Slow down.

Give me the VP office.

Come on! It's very pretty and large.

I can decorate it to my liking.

Look, Beatriz will be out.

Margarita and I will lobby to make you Armando's assistant.

We'll obviously have to hire a VP of Finance

who'll get to keep that large office,

but just be patient.

Everything will get better

after tomorrow's board meeting.

Cheers!

Oh, my God.

No, Hugo, Armando isn't one

to fight people on the street,

no way. Much less, outside a hospital.

No way. What did Betty's boyfriend do?

I didn't want to ask.

Armie will have to explain himself to me.

Can you imagine showing up at V&M as if

he had fought Canelo

with a black eye and soaked in blood.

You're so mean.

We're in dire need of fun.

It'll ease the stress. So, I need a favor.

After you're discharged, I want you to move in with us.

Oh, Hugi. No, no.

I wouldn't feel comfortable

in a house that isn't my own.

I really appreciate you wanting to look after me,

but you have a life of your own, guests.

Besides, I have my own place.

-Ines, please... -Hugo, Inesita is right.

Think of her. She needs to recover.

She needs to rest and to be comfortable.

Since you've all made up your mind,

do whatever you want.

I don't count. In fact, I'll go kill myself.

Good thing we're in a hospital.

I'll kill my self! I'm going to slit my wrists.

-I'm going to slit my wrists! -Come on!

-Ouch! -Nicolas,

why did you put on such a ridiculous show

in front of everyone who works at V&M,

and Mr. Hugo?

Ouch, that hurts!

Look, relax.

I was just protecting you from

that imbecile Armando Mendoza.

But now I'm the Devil,

and he's an innocent angel, wow!

No, no, that's not it,

but please tell me

you didn't tell him about Mr. Ricardo's video.

Betty, I became

a deadly weapon

with a thirst for blood.

I'm not evil, though. I didn't act on it.

I did call him

a phony, though.

No, no. Now you have to help me.

Help me think of what to tell my friends.

They were there and God knows what they heard.

Ouch, Betty!

Don't overthink it.

Tell them he grabbed your ass

and I set him straight, period.

No!

You're too considerate of that man.

He lied to you,

he manipulated you, and he seduced you.

We don't discuss that here.

Then where can we talk about it?

You know what, Betty? You know what?

Enough! This geek is out!

I'm done playing the geek! I have some dignity!

If you want to continue messaging V&M's reports

and making them money

at our expense,

that's your problem.

Count me out.

Bye.

Man, this hurts!

Hi, doll.

No pet names.

No doll, baby, honey because I'm not one of the models

or the young women you like.

Call me Malu instead.

Yes to Malu, no to doll, honey or baby.

Got it.

That's right. I really like this place.

It's clandestine and intimate.

Clandestine, just like us.

I wouldn't call us that. I'd say discreet.

I don't want my siblings to nag me about you.

You know, those two seem to hate you.

-What did you do to them? -Me?

Nothing.

I wonder why I don't believe you.

I believe my siblings think I'm the fool of the family

and they're trying to protect me from you

because they think you're a very bad boy.

What do you think?

You're a very bad boy.

You're very ambitious

and you hate the place you find yourself in.

Just so you know, you're wrong.

And according to you, where am I?

In the shadows,

waiting for your turn to shine.

Well, enough of that. Nothing to get serious about.

I'm the foolish Valencia

who's talking nonsense.

Let's move on to something interesting.

What do you think of me?

I think you're a very beautiful blonde

and you play the role of dumb blonde very well.

So much so that your siblings think you really are dumb.

But you're more interesting,

and dangerous than they think.

So we're the bad boy and the dangerous blonde.

-Sounds good, doesn't it? -Yes.

The dangerous blonde and the bad boy.

We could star in a telenovela.

"Hi, Mr. Mystery.

What are you doing?"

Oh! I'm going to call her.

Hi, Patri! How are you?

Hey, guess what! This is such a coincidence.

I was just thinking about you.

Patri, where are you?

I was out having a few glasses of wine with a friend.

She left with her boyfriend

and I had to go back to my sad and lonely reality

to drink alone.

Why is life so unfair?

Why does it treat women who don't appreciate anything well?

Yes, Patri. Right?

Look,

there are women who don't appreciate anything.

I, on the other hand,

am so, so, so appreciative

and I have no one to keep me company.

Where are you, Nico?

I'm in... on...

I'm on Wall Street.

You're close by. Come over.

I should, right?

All right, Patri, I'll go.

Get some tortillas ready

because I'm starving.

Bye.

Tortillas? I don't even have lemons.

What am I going to feed him?

-Hey. -Hi, honey.

-Dad. -Yes?

Did you see what happened to Catalina? Was it solved?

Yes, I did, honey.

She'll have to pay a hefty sum.

I arranged for her to pay in monthly installments

so it'll lessen the blow.

Did you see her, though? She looked so worried.

Of course she did.

I don't get those people.

He turned in fake paperwork and reports.

He reported her fake

sums,

and probably kept the money.

I doubt he even has the money.

He probably stashed it in another shady account.

And... did her accountant fake the reports?

Of course! That's how it starts.

Well balanced numbers to cover up the crap.

They don't care about hurting the people who trust them.

Well, we don't know

why her accountant

did what he did.

Maybe he was fooled too.

Sweetie, don't be so naive.

That man knew right from wrong.

He betrayed his client's trust.

People like that

deserve to be in prison, Betty.

They have no dignity.

They disgust me.

Nico, what happened to you?

I'm fine compared to the other guy, Patri.

You should see what he looks like.

You look worse than you did before.

I'm kidding!

No, what I meant to say is,

what happened to the other guy? Is he in bad shape?

I almost killed him, Patri.

I swear he was this close to dying.

Listen, Patri, it might not look like it,

but I'm a black belt.

No!

Wow, I want to be one too!

You're the best, Nico.

You're a man of many qualities.

You're...

...handsome...

...rich, smart,

and above all you're very generous, way too generous.

You're so generous that...

you offered to help with my car.

-Remember? -Yes.

Yes, of course.

Did you bring your wallet today?

No, no, no.

What do you mean you didn't?

How could you? What's the matter with you?

Why do you do this to me?

You get my hopes up and then you pull something like this!

Oh, no! You give me the worst headaches.

Hold on. I just...

...accessed my banking app

on my phone

and I transferred 10% of what you asked into your account.

What? 10%?

No, no! It just became a migraine! I swear.

No, wait, Patricia. That's the daily limit.

I'll bring the rest tomorrow, OK?

Yes?

-What? -It's a miracle!

-What? -Thank you, Universe.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

-It went away? -Yes!

No, wait, wait.

Your cell phone is bothering me.

Nico!

No. No, no.

Oh, no.

Nico!

Gross.

Your snoring is terrible.

Who would've thought

you do such

amazing things!

Who would've thought you're

so generous

and so attentive.

Above all, who would've thought...

you're so well endowed.

I finally get it all now.

The beautiful want

the luck of the homely.

It finally makes sense.

What's BAR?

He manages a bar? That's so embarrassing.

Wait, wait. Patri!

Hold on. I can hear you.

I'm so glad you're awake.

-Really? -Yes.

I want to know

where you learned

all those wonderful tricks.

Oh, Patri.

Movies.

Come on, Nicolas. I want the truth.

I swear, Patri.

I learned from movies.

I learned from movies.

You know what? I don't want to know.

It's probably experience. Do you have a lot?

Of course you do! No, I don't want to know.

I don't want to know how many women you've been with.

Patri, you're the only woman I've ever been with.

I swear you're my one and only.

Don't be silly.

Patri.

I may be silly, but I'm a gentleman.

And this gentleman...

-is ready for another round. -Oh, Nicolas! No!

I brought you some hot chocolate, honey.

Thank you.

What's wrong? What's got you down?

Nothing, nothing.

I'm just tired. That's all.

Right. It's your job.

It's killing your soul.

Why won't you leave that damn company, honey?

Just remember what Ms. Catalina told you,

you're qualified

to work wherever you want.

Yes, but I can't leave now.

Please don't tell Dad.

I don't want to worry him.

I won't. Don't worry.

If he knew,

he'd side with me 100%.

If it's because of the money, then don't worry.

We'll make it work until you find something better,

something you like and makes you happy.

Don't worry.

I promise all this will be resolved.

It's going to be OK.

Now if you don't mind,

I have to finish up here.

Right. See what I mean?

It's late and you're still working.

You're being exploited and that's not fair.

All right, fine. I'm leaving.

I hope you get it done quickly.

Thank you.

The best part, the most important one,

is that Inesita will be discharged soon.

That's really great.

I'm happy for her.

So is anyone going to talk about what happened yesterday?

Oh, man, no!

Girls, we shouldn't even bring up the subject.

It's a very delicate issue.

-Yeah. -Not too delicate.

Mr. Armando has a killer right hook.

What about Nicolas?

So scrawny, yet so feisty. Who would've thought?

He looks so much like a nerd.

Who would've thought

that a man of Mr. Armando's size

-would go down so hard? -Sofi, Sofi!

Good morning. Good morning.

Mr. Armando.

I was telling the girls about the wrestling matches, sir.

Did you watch any yesterday?

-They were so good. -Yeah, I watched them.

Come on.

Gregorio!

It's been so long.

-Miss Anders! -How are you?

You stopped coming by my office

after you stopped working for my dad.

I thought you were a friend.

I am. I've just been...

...very busy, I haven't had enough time, because

I've been trying to establish my own business.

I see.

-Congratulations! -Thanks.

I can see you're a man who knows what he wants.

That's actually why I'm here.

Oh, yeah?

How can I support,

help or assist you?

Well, I think

now would be a good time to invest my money

and you can help me with that.

I'd obviously pay you.

Of course.

Before we get right down to business,

why don't you call your assistant...

My assistant isn't answering.

I'll get if for you myself.

-Go on. Don't worry. -Be right back.

-It's OK. -I won't be long.

Quickly, quickly.

-No way. -Betty's coming.

What?

What? What?

You were there. You have to tell us everything.

I've never seen

Mr. Armando hit anyone.

I saw the rage in their eyes.

They were out for blood.

That's just it.

Mr. Armando has a strong personality

and Nicolas does too.

They had a run in.

Nico's still upset

because I haven't been given a raise since I started here.

That's it. That was one of the reasons.

I don't want any more trouble with Ms. Marcela,

so can we please drop it?

Yeah, but there's more. Tell us what happened.

-Tell us. -Well, it's just that...

Yes, please.

If it isn't the troll

of discord.

What did you do to Armando

to make your boyfriend hit him?

If you'll excuse me.

Soak in my presence while I'm here.

What happened? Tell me.

She was about to tell us, but you showed up to drag her.

You have to work for your gossip, sir.

Just like orgasms.

Ain't that right!

Raggedy bunch.

I almost lost Ines.

Catalina, you have no idea how scared I was.

What happened later was worse.

-What do you mean? -There was a fight

between Armie and Thumbelino.

Look.

Hey, is that Betty's boyfriend?

Hi, Catalina.

-Armando. -Look who's here, Canelo Mendoza.

Hugo, shut up.

I need the final sketches to send them to production.

Are you wearing makeup?

The world is truly coming to an end.

First you fight the toad's boyfriend and now this.

Excuse me? You fought Beatriz's boyfriend?

Look, look!

I can explain.

Why didn't you tell me you'd fought Beatriz's boyfriend?

Because I knew you'd overreact.

What happened was plenty.

I didn't want to have to deal with your complaints.

My complaints?

Should I throw you a party, then?

-See? -Give me a break, you fought

some nobody

in front of all our employees!

What's the matter with you?

What did he say to make you do such a thing?

He didn't say anything. I let my urges take over.

You let your urges take over? Come on, Armando!

Oh, I bet he spoke ill

of your precious Beatriz!

No, Betty had nothing to do with it!

Of course she did! She had a lot to do with it!

You've changed since she started here, Armando.

I can't wait for the board meeting to be over

so you'll fire her.

Get rid of the foundation.

You look ridiculous.

Yes, I had fun with you too.

In fact,

if you were to ask me out tonight,

I wouldn't turn you down.

Or are you afraid I may prove to be too much to handle?

Can I call you back? Bye.

Hello, my lovely rosebud.

Would you agree to going out with me tonight?

Yikes, Giovas, I...

French restaurant on 5th.

How'd you pull that off? That place is very expensive.

Did you sell a kidney?

Let's just say no credit card

can deny the heart what it wants.

Especially if it means making the world's

most wonderful girlfriend happy.

Me?

Who else but you?

Aura Maria, you're the one.

You might think yourself a common, average woman,

but you keep me...

You keep me going.

You make my heart beat.

See you at seven?

I can be Giovas'

good and faithful girlfriend,

and have dinner on Fifth Avenue...

Not a good enough trade off.

What do you mean Armando fought with that woman's boyfriend?

Why? Who is that man?

Some nobody, Margarita.

A real zero just like her.

A nerd, a new rich.

Why? How is he involved?

Marcela, I hardly recognize

my son anymore. What's happening to him?

I told you.

It's all that woman's fault!

What woman? Beatriz, his lover? Please, explain yourself.

I don't know!

I just know that ever since Beatriz came to the company,

she became his confidant

and accomplice.

He trusts her more than he does Ricardo.

Armando won't do anything, absolutely anything,

without talking to her first.

You're going to calm down

and you won't confront that woman again.

She's on her way out of our lives.

And I'm going to go talk to my son right now

so he can explain how he's involved with that man.

No, please don't fuss over some nonsense.

Nothing happened between that idiot and me.

It's not nonsense.

You two came to blows as if you were in a bar brawl.

I hardly recognize you, son.

You've never gotten in trouble with thugs.

Oh, please! Nicolas isn't a thug.

He's just an imbecile, that's all.

He said something, I responded, and then we fought. That was all

What did he say that made you react in such a way?

Please stop trying to make sense

of it all, Mom, please.

Maybe I was having a bad day,

I was in bad mood,

it was hot. Who knows!

And so you fought Beatriz's boyfriend?

What is it about this insignificant young lady

that makes two men fight over her?

Hey, don't call her an insignificant young lady!

It doesn't suit you, Mom.

You can't talk employees down like that.

Besides, I wasn't fighting over Betty.

Stay out of my business.

I'll never do that.

You're my only son and V&M is my company.

Like it or not, I'll never stop minding your business.

But I do realize that that uninspiring young lady...

There you go.

...isn't good for the company or you.

This is your grand total.

All that's left is paying the IRS penalty charges

and deductions.

Thank you, Betty!

You're a lifesaver.

You don't know how much I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

We're here for you whenever you need us, Ms. Catalina.

I heard about what happened between Nicolas and Armando.

I'm so embarrassed.

You shouldn't be, Betty.

When men let testosterone take over,

they don't think of the consequences of their actions.

Right, but there's no excuse.

It was very embarrassing and violence is never the answer.

You're right.

Maybe this a sign from life

and your boyfriend.

Maybe your time in this company has come...

...to an end.

Marce, Marce, Marce!

What's all this about Armando fighting

the Loch Ness Monster's boyfriend?

Don't remind me.

The worst part was that

the secretaries saw everything.

How embarrassing!

And they're all such gossips.

Tell me everything, Marce! I want to know!

I don't have all the details, but that loser started it.

You know Armando. He's a gentleman, a prince.

He'd never do anything like it. That man is dangerous.

Yes, he's a hit man, a thug, he's not one to mess with.

We have to be wary of him.

You think so?

No, no.

I think he's...

...an affectionate man.

and sweet, and...

...generous.

Very generous.

-He's attentive. -What?

What do you mean?

Forget it, Marce. You're absolutely right.

All men are the same! They're all shameless bastards!

I bet he beats people too.

-Betty. -Yeah?

We need to talk, please.

I'm working on the report you wanted

and it's almost ready, so please just leave me alone.

I was calling you all night, but you never answered.

I was busy with this.

I just wanted to apologize

for the ridiculous scene that happened outside the hospital.

I mean it, Armando.

If you don't leave me alone, I'm going home.

No, no, no.

Let's go out this afternoon.

Yes? I want to talk to you.

I have something important to tell you.

Please?

All right.

Thank you.

Ines, please be careful.

I know you.

The moment I let go of your hand,

you'll want to run the New York City Marathon.

Stop it, Hugo. I'm fine.

I'll return to the office after I'm discharged.

What? No, no, Ines.

You need to rest. No way.

In fact, I'll cover for you.

No. Not at all.

I don't need to rest at all.

Inesita, you gave us quite the scare.

Mrs. Margarita, I'm fine

and ready to get back to work.

You shouldn't take what happened lightly.

That's what I said,

but she wants me

to double her workload.

She's also very forgetful.

What's this? You hadn't mentioned that.

Blessed be the lane which carried the taxi

that carried the architect who designed the building

or hospital were you were brought into this world,

my darling princess!

Giovas!

Ready to go to dinner?

Giovas, you won't believe what happened.

What happened?

My cousin Nabucodonosor, we're very close.

He lives in Xochimilco.

He showed up suddenly

and he wants me to show him around New York.

I have to take him on a tour.

And then?

We can't go out today.

I have to go. See you tomorrow.

Hi, Angelita!

You know what's the only animal

that makes the same mistake twice?

-No. -Giovas!

Get it through your head, man.

She's not interested in something formal.

She just wants to have fun.

Her cousin is in town and she has to look after him.

I won't waste my time

explaining things to you.

Her cousin?

Haven't you heard of kissing cousins?

You're the sexiest spy on the planet

and the neighboring galaxies.

Sexy.

Men like Mata go crazy over a short dress.

I completed my mission

and gained access

to his hard drive.

Wow!

How did you do it?

Not so fast. You haven't told me everything.

If Mata is a fraud,

how do I know he's not carrying out illegal deals

with my father's companies?

We don't know that yet.

That's why I need what you have right there.

May I have it?

If you find anything about my family's companies,

talk to me first.

You have my word and everything else.

Patricia, you didn't come all the way here

to waste your time and keep quiet.

What do you have for me?

The information I have is so valuable

that you should start writing me a big check right now.

That's not how this works.

You give me the information first and I evaluate it.

If it's useful, I cut you a check.

How about it?

I know where Ugly Betty's

boyfriend works.

I have the company's name.

OK. What's it called?

It's called BAR.

BAR?

This is where...

we first started to become friends, remember?

Look, Betty...

Armando,

why did you bring me here?

Because we've been

very distant lately...

and this place is very special.

It used to be mine and now it's ours.

Paolo, I'll have the usual.

I can't drink. I need to work on the report.

I shouldn't even be here.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get it done.

I brought you here because

I wanted to ask you something.

I know you're mad at me

and that you don't trust me

because I haven't broken up with Marcela,

but I need to know if you still love me.

Every time you've asked me to message a report, I've done it.

-I've done it for you. -Yes.

I'm committing fraud

-for you. -No, don't call it that.

That's what it is. It's fraud.

I've become...

a liar and a hypocrite,

because I love you.

-No, Betty... -No, don't touch me.

Someone could see us.

I don't care if they do.

I know you don't trust me, but I love you.

He works at a bar? He's barman?

Oh, Dani,

don't be silly. He obviously isn't.

He's the chief.

-Oh, yeah? -Give me a break.

I'll just show you.

I looked into it

and this is an investment company.

-So? -So, He's a successful

stockbroker with lots of money.

And how do you know he has a lot of money?

He has a brand new and expensive car.

He also invited the Squad out to eat Le Blanc.

They ordered everything they wanted

and ate like there was no tomorrow.

It was a horror show, how embarrassing.

I bet they lost two Michelin stars after their visit.

I think he's a fraud.

He doesn't have two pennies to rub together.

As usual, you've wasted my time, Patricia.

If BAR were an important company, I'd recognize it.

No, you have to pay me.

I don't care. I did my job.

I won't. Leave.

-I want my check. -I said no!

I won't pay you anything.

When you have something worthwhile, I'll pay for it.

Not before that.

Leave and close the door on your way out.

You're unbearable!

I don't know why I help you!

BAR.

Tomorrow is a very important day

for us and V&M.

If I remain president, I'll consolidate

the pret-a-porter line and I'll pay off our debts.

Most importantly,

I'll call my engagement off with Marcela.

I will. I promise.

I'm going to do it because I don't love her

and because I don't want to hurt her.

Betty, you know me very well.

You know everything we've been through.

No one knows me like you do.

Yes, you're right.

No one knows you like I do.

No one knows what you'll do

to get what you want.

Yes, you know my flaws,

my insecurities,

and you also know how much I love you, right?

Tomorrow I need you with me,

by my side, together.

I need us to be a team because this nightmare,

the board meeting and my engagement,

will finally come to an end. You have to believe me, Betty.

I wish I could.

Then please believe me, Betty.

There will be no more lies, no more deception, after tomorrow.

I love you.

And I love you.

If only I didn't love you so much.

Yes, I'm messaging another V&M report,

so please don't interrupt and just drop it.

Oh, Betty! You're so stubborn!

When will you stop believing

that liar Armando Mendoza?

Leave that for a moment.

How long

do you think it'll take before they figure out

the financial mess V&M is in?

-Huh? -I don't know.

I just know this is the last thing

I'm going to do for V&M.

I'll return everything to Armando and Ricardo,

and they can figure out the rest for themselves.

Does that mean that after tonight

this nightmare will be over?

Yes, that's right, Nicolas.

You go on home.

I have a long night of work ahead of me.

I have a long,

long night ahead of me too, Betty.

Yeah? What are you going to do?

Me?

-Betty, guess what. -What?

My grandmother is sick with the flu

and she's taking up a lot of my time.

It's fine, though.

I'll just take a deep breath and smile.

and see you tomorrow!

This will all end tomorrow.

I'm very sad.

We met today and he once again told me that he loved me.

When we kissed,

I felt I was saying goodbye forever.

Tomorrow I'll start to live without Armando Mendoza.

Or I'll start to die slowly without him.
