Original subtitles

Were you drinking all night?

With good reason, don't you think?

No. Because you are a lady.

What freaking good is being a lady, huh?

Your son doesn't like ladies.

He left me for someone ugly.

I don't recognize you, son.

A good person wouldn't just destroy a life and then run like a coward.

If anything happens to Marcela, it'll be your fault.

I still hope to one day have your forgiveness.

Would you forgive me if you found out I cheated on you?

You cheated on me?

With who?

Ricardo Calderon.

Marcela told me you two were lovers.

Is it true? Did you sleep with her?

Marcela wouldn't cheat on you.

What she told you never happened.

I can't believe you'd think something like that of me...

ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

I told him what happened between us.

I think everyone should know the truth.

Have you lost your mind?

What happened between us was the worst mistake of my life.

I want the truth.

I talked to Ricardo. I know everything.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Did you come to my house last night? Because I don't remember.

What? You don't remember?

I went to your house and you told me you two had something.

Me with Ricardo? Are you crazy?

If I had wanted to cheat on you,

I would have done it with someone else, not with Ricardo.

He's like a brother to me.

Yeah, he said the same thing.

He denied there was anything between you two.

Because nothing happened.

And besides, so what if it had?

You don't have a leg to stand on.

No, of course I don't.

I just wanted to clear things up.

Right.

Well, if you're so interested in clearing things up,

go online and clear up for everyone all that talk about some mystery woman.

See for yourself.

May I ask what you were doing in my former boss' office?

Did you lose something in there?

I don't owe you any explanations.

But I'll tell you anyway.

Roberto asked me to be there

because we're getting a new executive in charge of...

Of...?

Whatever, it doesn't matter.

The point is that you take care of Roberto

while I take care of the new executive.

Are you kidding? You're so dumb!

Just what I needed. For you to boss me around.

No, child.

You're nothing but a lowly secretary.

I only take orders from my bosses.

What's going on here that I need to hear about, girl?

So glad you're here, girl.

Turns out that we're welcoming

a new executive for Finance today.

So? What's his name?

Don't touch me.

I don't know, and if I did, I wouldn't tell you.

You maggot! What are you doing here?

What?

Nicolas, what are you doing here?

-Back for more or what? -Restrain yourselves, ladies.

Just wait till...

Nicolas Ramos is here!

-Welcome to V&M. -How are you?

Armando's told me so much about you.

How nice of you.

Welcome?

That's right.

We must cordially welcome our new executive for Finance

of our sister company, BAR.

That's right.

This man here is a true professional

in the administrative sciences.

Mr. Ramos, this is some of our administrative team here at V&M.

Excuse me, girls. Bye.

Why won't you kiss me?

It's called initiative, Miss Beatriz Rincon.

Modern women posses it.

If you want a kiss, go after it.

-Initiative? -Uh-huh.

Betty.

My Betty.

Where are you?

Oh no.

Is that you, Betty?

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, but I thought I recognized you.

-How are you? -Fine.

I suppose you're going to Wynwood to coordinate my runway show.

Why don't I take you? My car's right here.

I know a shortcut.

I already called for a taxi.

Then cancel it.

And you can't say no because what are friends for?

-Are you sure? -Let's go.

Chop chop.

"Chop chop", ha ha.

Okay, we're off to Wynwood.

Where is Betty?

I don't know anything about Betty, Mr. Armando.

I've called her a lot, but she doesn't answer.

Plus, she's no longer active on social media.

Where is Betty?

Last time I saw her was when Ms. Marcela fired her

and almost hit her. Well, not hit her.

Ms. Marcela was just upset.

Where is Betty?

Uh... ever since she was fired, I haven't...

I mean, ever since you ended her contract,

she hasn't checked in with us.

Where is Betty?

I don't know anything, Mr. Armando.

I wasn't even here when she left.

A shame about Betty, isn't it?

She was a very good worker, and a great girl too.

Where is Betty?

I don't know, but I have my theories.

Mr. Armando, you didn't want her to leave, did you? Right?

You're worried about Betty and so are we.

Between you and me, why was she let go?

It wasn't work related.

You can tell me. I won't tell anyone.

I can keep a secret better than anyone here.

Thanks, Bertha. You may go.

You're not going to tell me?

Ramos, the situation is this:

V&M isn't liquid enough to pay Anderson

or to meet the employees' payroll.

It's my understanding that BAR was created

to protect us in situations such as these.

Yes and no, sir.

Your son made sure to exhaust our ability

to take out a loan.

No one in their right mind would have turned to BAR.

Not even in this situation?

-No. -Then my hands are tied.

How will I get out of this if I don't have money to pay out these commitments?

Mr. Roberto, if you authorize that loan,

it'd be my pleasure to do it.

Just be aware of one thing.

We would be using a portion of BAR's capital

since the profits have been used to pay off the loans

your son Armando took out.

Right, but BAR remains stable?

Yes, we'll be safe so long as the market doesn't fluctuate.

Of course, should anyone on the market

decide to so much as sneeze, then we would be at risk.

Of course.

You know what? We'll take that risk.

-Authorize the loan. -Perfect, just sign here.

Yes, come in? Hello, Sofia.

Mr. Roberto, may I not come back after lunch?

A relative of mine is in the hospital.

Of course. Is it serious?

Let's just say the world collapsed around him and it's a miracle he's alive.

-May I? -Please go.

Thank you.

Just sign right here.

-Hold this one. -Sure.

Just a quick signature.

He's not waking up.

You heard the doctor.

He underwent surgery yesterday and is still sedated.

Luckily he didn't suffer any brain damage.

What's more, he's stable and improving.

It won't be long before he wakes up.

Yes, but I'm worried because when he wakes up,

he won't see that stupid slut.

Look, he's waking up.

Efrain.

Efrain.

Hi.

-Hi. -Sofia?

What happened to me?

Uh...

Well, you fell 16 feet through a manhole cover.

What?

That far?

Yes.

How did I survive?

It was your lucky day, buddy.

Lucky?

No, I don't need any help.

Relax and don't move. Everything is fine.

-What? -My leg!

-Oh, no, don't... -What happened to my leg?

Relax, everything is fine.

It broke in a few places but...

What?

But the doctor said that with therapy and determination

you should make a full recovery.

Now just relax and don't freak out.

Oh, honey, this is awful.

It's terrible.

No, it's not that terrible because... you're here

and you didn't die.

That's true.

My kids would be orphans

and you'd be a widow.

What would you have done without me, my love?

Huh?

Poor thing.

-Poor thing. -Uh...

Efrain, Jenny ought to be here any second.

Who's Jenny?

What do you mean who's Jenny?

Your Jenny. Your girlfriend.

-Girlfriend? -Yeah.

How can I have a girlfriend? I'm a married man.

Don't listen to him, sweetie.

He's being funny just to make me feel better.

I don't know any Jenny,

and even if I did, how could I have a girlfriend?

I love you, Sofia. I love you, my darling.

-Me? -Sofia, I love you, honey.

-I love you. -Oh.

Let's see what Bet-girl was hiding.

What is this?

Bet-girl's diary. How nice.

Let's see what you were up to, Beatriz Rincon.

You might be a gargoyle, but you're no dummy.

Oh, honey.

Look at everything you have kept.

I knew it.

I knew it.

Patri, it's great to see you.

Shut up!

I'm here to ask you for something.

Whatever you want, darling.

-I want you to quit. -What?

You heard me.

Goodbye, sayonara, au revoir, bye!

No, no... Patri, ask for anything else

because that's what I can't do.

That's what I want!

For you to quit and leave.

I never want to see you again after how you deceived me!

You lied to me, and not the nice kind of lies.

Patri,

I did that because I'm in love with you,

and I knew if I told you the truth, you would never be interested in me.

Are you calling me a gold-digger?

No, no, no!

All I'm saying is that you're a conceptual kind of person, right?

In order... for one to reach the standards you deserve isn't easy.

That's why I created that fake millionaire profile on Facebook.

What?

You're telling me you were Jordan?

My Facebook millionaire?

I can't believe it!

You took advantage of me even on social media!

I don't know what to think of you!

You can think that I'm crazy about you.

What you are is crazy. Period.

What do I have to do?

Cast a spell to get you to disappear?

Find a boyfriend to take care of me?

Or maybe get an attack dog!

You lunatic!

Wait, Patri...

What if he seeks her out again?

Which he will, now that his wedding was called off.

WHO DO YOU HATE THE MOST?

Marcela Valencia.

WRONG ANSWER

Patricia Fernandez.

WRONG ANSWER ONLY ONE ATTEMPT LEFT

Oh, my God.

Three strikes and you're out.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Rincon,

but your daughter will never perform with my group of dancers.

Listen, Madam Monique, you should have told me that

two years ago when you started taking our money for your stupid classes,

which are overpriced if you ask me.

Mrs. Rincon, ballet is a sublime, delicate, elegant art.

It's not for graceless ugly girls with no rhythm.

Some girls were born to shine like stars,

others to watch them perform from the balcony.

Madam Monique.

Stop the music!

Girls, I know it's unusual, but I want you to smile

and look at the audience.

I want you to connect with them

and make them part of the runway show.

See the difference a smile makes?

Now my show looks warmer.

You could rehearse too.

-What? -Smiling.

Let me see Happy Betty.

-Smile. -What?

Close your eyes...

and think about the happiest moment of your life.

Bring it to mind.

Tell me what it is.

-Betty. -Yes, Mr. Arman...?

It's a kiss.

No, stay in that moment.

Go back to it.

What comes after doesn't matter.

Just think about how you felt when you were kissed.

Return to that moment.

It was incredible.

What did you do?

See for yourself.

I captured your moment.

This is the real Betty,

the Betty that wants to come out that you don't let be happy.

This Betty has hopes and dreams.

Stop being so scared.

You are pretty, and not just inside.

Look.

I'm so tired of things always ending up the same.

I get my hopes up

believing that this time the story will be different,

until reality comes crashing down.

I'm such a fool.

Mr. Armando would never be interested in somebody like me.

He's got a perfect life and a woman who loves him,

someone willing to do anything for him.

I know he trusts and believes in me.

He defended me from the man trying to bribe me,

from Patricia, and even from Ms. Marcela.

And because of that I'll remain by his side no matter what.

Well, that and... the affection I have for him.

Lots and lots of affection.

Okay, fine, I love him!

What's the last thing you remember?

The last thing of what?

Like yesterday, for example. What'd you do yesterday?

I fell, that's why I'm like this, right?

So you do remember the fall?

No, but you're saying I fell,

and I believe you because of how much pain I'm in.

Okay, okay. Try to remember.

What did you do the day before yesterday?

-The day before yesterday? -Yes.

We fumigated the building owned by the Chinese.

The ones who sell knockoff bags.

Remember how I even bought one for my Sofia

for our anniversary?

I didn't tell you it was fake, but you did like it, right?

Yeah, you liked it.

Efrain, that was two years ago.

Two years?

-Was I in a coma that long? -No, no.

You weren't in a coma, you were just sedated.

For two years?

Efrain, buddy, it's 2019.

What?

2019?

Time really flies.

What did we do for our anniversary?

-Oh, no. ¡No! -Nothing.

We couldn't do anything.

Don't tell me I forgot.

Please forgive me, darling. Forgive me, Sofia.

I promise I'll take you on that cruise

you've always wanted to go on.

I promise, honey.

-I'm sorry. -No, no.

What is it?

Why are you looking at me like that?

All right, Efrain.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Yes?

Who is this woman? Who is she?

Hoo boy.

You get a look at her, buddy?

I like you more, honey. Is she your friend?

Are you serious, Efrain?

You don't recognize that miserable tramp?

What?

I have no idea...

Why are you showing her to me, Sofia?

Show Charly. He's been alone a long time.

Go ahead, bud. I'm a married man.

Why wouldn't you answer your phone?

Sorry, I don't even know where my phone is.

I'm completely unplugged.

I came here to silence the rumors,

but I don't feel like dealing with anyone's pity.

Hey, I think I'll take you up on your offer of Europe.

I wish we could leave now, but I just spoke to Daniel.

I hadn't told you, but he says he doesn't have my money.

What do you mean?

He does not have my money.

He invested it and now he won't return it.

What kind of agreement did you two have?

Simple.

He managed my money, gave me a monthly allowance,

and when I asked for it, he would give it all to me.

But now he's playing dumb!

No, Daniel is a serious man,

especially when it comes to money.

He probably invested it and is waiting, I don't know,

for it to make money before he returns it to you.

He'd better because I might be Zen and all that,

but I won't sit idly by and do nothing.

He's in for a big surprise if I don't get it back.

At what time will you be home so I can leave the key?

I have to leave in the morning, but I'll be back by early afternoon.

No, don't worry about it.

We can do it when you come back.

Besides, it's not like I have many possessions.

I don't even need a truck to move them.

A friend of mine is lending me his car, which is enough.

You don't have a bed?

Like a bed bed? No, I don't.

But my hammock has really worked out great for me.

In the beginning I'd wake up shaped like a banana,

but over time I have gotten the hang of it

and now I wake up upright and without getting dizzy.

-You're crazy. -See?

By the looks of it, everything is now fine at the company.

You two seem so happy.

Are you dating and didn't tell me?

No, Aura Maria, it's just that Giovanni...

Giovanni was electrocuted recently, remember?

-I was all... -No, I don't.

Sometimes I feel the after-effects,

and so the doctor thought I should always be

near someone else in case the convulsions come back.

What a great excuse, but don't count on me.

When you feel an episode coming on,

go far away from me because I'm not going to help you.

Maybe Marianita will, right?

Giovanni, why didn't you let me tell her

you and me are going to be roommates?

The thing is, I'm embarrassed.

I've always wanted to have a nice, big apartment

so I can be with Aura Maria and her son,

but for now, I can't.

But now she'll think you and I are involved.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Please give me some time.

I want to prove to my queen that I'm a hard-working man

and that I have nothing but good, honest intentions with her.

Let me tell you something.

If by Christmas you're still trying to prove

your worth to her, I'll tell her everything.

You try to do a nice thing and instead get rumors spread about you.

-No, sir. -Take it easy, Marianita.

Remember that if it isn't on social media, it doesn't exist.

Mrs. Julia?

Mrs. Julia!

Armando Mendoza outside my house?

That jerk is going to hear it from me.

Mrs. Julia.

Mr. Armando, I've been wanting to speak to you for days.

How are you, sir? I'm looking for your daughter.

Might you know where I can find her?

Yes, of course, she--

May I ask what you're doing in my home again?

What kind of manners are those, sweetie?

You know I wanted to talk to him.

Mustn't be rude now.

How about some coffee?

There isn't any!

What do you mean? I bought some this morning.

Forget it, Demetrio.

Mr. Armando was just leaving. Isn't that right, sir?

Yes, yes, I'll go. Have a nice day. Excuse me.

Wait and let me get the notebook with the name of the hotel...

Betty is on vacation and doesn't want to be bothered.

Why don't you go sort out your marriage?

They're saying on the news that it's falling apart.

Julia, I don't recognize you, honey.

No, she's right.

I'll leave you. My apologies, excuse me.

Doctor, help me understand

how Efrain, just like that, could have lost

two years' worth of memories from his hard drive.

How?

Mr. Montes is suffering partial amnesia from the fall.

Is that normal?

It's more common than you would think.

But it's usually temporary.

Your husband will regain his memory little by little.

Sorry, but that man is not my husband.

And how is it possible that he only forgot the bad stuff?

The part where he cheated on me and abandoned me

for a shameless tramp?

The part where he kicked me to the curb

and ran off with that broad?

So I wonder if it's like in cartoons

and I can just hit him over the head again

-to restore his memory. -Please, ma'am.

I think telling him the truth is best so he can get his memory back.

That wouldn't be ideal under these circumstances.

Stress could complicate his recovery.

So you're suggesting we go along with it?

Only while he's here at the hospital.

You'll see how the memories return without anyone having to force it.

I have to continue my rounds. Excuse me.

What are we going to do, Sofia?

Hide what's going on between you and me?

No. Sorry.

I'm not going back no matter what.

And I'm not going back to being Efrain-sufferable's wife.

-No way! -Then?

Then...

I'm going to make sure Efrain remembers

every moment of his damn life.

Trust me.

Believe in me.

Julia, explain what's going on here.

I'm furious.

I hate that Armando Mendoza won't leave us alone.

I even let him have it, but he won't stop.

Next time I'm throwing a bucket of dirty water on him.

-No way. -Yes way!

I'm going to save our laundry water.

That's enough. It's not like he even paid Betty that much

for all she had to suffer.

You're exaggerating. How much she suffered?

She worked at a well-known company

located in the heart of Manhattan.

What about the sleepless nights?

Don't you remember staying up when she came home late?

You didn't say anything then.

You would look out the window with your eyes as big as an owl's.

You would even want to go pick her up.

Well, that's true. At the beginning.

But once I got with the program it seemed

like an excellent opportunity for her.

Betty was being bullied.

That company is full of ugly people with twisted hearts.

She put up with it because you lost your job

and didn't want you to feel bad.

But you're healthy now,

and she... reached her boiling point.

My daughter sacrificed herself for me?

Oh, Demetrio! For you, for me, for everybody!

My Betty suffered so much!

Julia.

Julia, honey.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Nothing, just came to find you.

I'm glad I found you before you went to your other job as a lap dancer.

Lap dancer? What do you mean?

-Who gets you? -Forget about it.

It's an inside joke I have with the Squad.

-Oh. -I got confused.

Hey, why won't you answer your phone? I've been calling you since yesterday.

All right, let's have it.

Let out that venom you're ready to spew, snake.

Efrain isn't doing well at all. He had a terrible accident.

So?

He broke both his legs and fractured all his ribs.

So?

And he's got temporary amnesia.

So?

What do you mean "so"?

He's your boyfriend and you should take responsibility.

If you think I'm exaggerating, just look at him.

Darn, poor guy doesn't look good.

See? What are you going to do?

What am I going to do? Nothing.

I broke up with that cheap old man.

What are you talking about?

Cheap?

He spent the money meant for my kids and me on you.

He gave you all his money and got you an apartment.

You should see that horrible, tiny apartment.

You are such an ingrate.

Have you forgotten where you came from?

Have you forgotten that that man is yours?

That's what you decided, and so he's your responsibility.

Me?

I know, you want me to get back together with your husband.

-No, no, no. -You want us back together.

No, you're confused.

He's my ex-husband thanks to you

and your lovemaking skills.

So if anyone should be responsible

for this man's life, it's you!

Ma'am, there's no way I'm getting back together with your ex-husband.

If you don't leave,

I'll have to call security, understand, Grandma? Old hag?

Don't you wave your arms at me!

Slut!

Good morning, Mrs. Julia.

-Good morning, Aura. -How are you?

Well, so so.

I'm here to see Mr. Armando Mendoza.

He hasn't arrived yet. It's early.

No problem. I'll wait here.

Yes, but he's very busy today,

and he won't see anyone without an appointment.

If you like, I can check his schedule to see what day--

Listen, sweetie, he shows up at my house whenever he pleases.

And we open our doors to him.

Tell him that so he'll see me right now.

Oh, I'm glad you're here.

You came to my house because you had something urgent to tell me.

Well, what I have to tell you is even more urgent.

So let me know if you have the time

or if I should return another day.

Yes?

How long were you and my daughter in a relationship?

A relationship with your daughter?

No! Don't even think of lying to me because I know everything.

-What... Betty told you? -No.

Let's just say I figured it out, and I want details.

Talk!

At least have the dignity of owning up to what you did.

Yes, it's just that...

I'm sorry, but it's not easy.

What happened between your daughter and me was completely unexpected.

It got out of hand and we ended up falling in love.

No, you're lying. You don't love my daughter.

You took advantage of her caring nature,

of her kindness and naivety.

But love her? Never.

My daughter was happy before she met you.

-I never-- -You ruined her life!

I swear that I never meant to hurt her.

If it's any comfort, I'm suffering without her too.

You can't fool me, Armando Mendoza!

Men like you aren't capable of seeing the virtues

of someone like Betty.

Yes, you're right.

Before I met her I was a hollow, vapid,

completely superficial man. But Betty changed me.

She made me a better man and made me love her

like I've never loved anyone.

What about Ms. Marcela?

You two are engaged!

Yes, but that relationship had been over for a long time.

When I got together with Betty, it became obvious.

Hold on, there's something here that doesn't make any sense.

You speak of love, but all I see is hate.

If you really love her so much, why is she suffering?

Why aren't you together if you supposedly broke off your engagement?

What did you do to my daughter?

I did the worst thing a man can do to a woman.

But it's not my place to tell you.

I made the biggest mistake of my life.

That's why I need to speak to her, to explain my feelings to her.

Betty doesn't want to speak to you and I respect her wishes.

Maybe that which you dare not say out loud

was so serious that it's unforgivable.

No, don't say that, ma'am.

Please, I need to speak to her. I'm going crazy here!

Please tell me where she is.

If you really love her, leave her alone.
