Original subtitles

I hate you.

And I hate that woman.

Hey! Marcela!

Marcela tried to kill herself because of you.

If anything happens to her, I'll hold you responsible.

The Mendozas have only brought ruin on the Valencias.

Don't talk to them like that! They have nothing to do with it!

Yes, they do!

I told them about your nonsense, but they wouldn't listen.

What kind of family raises a dishonorable man like you?

I didn't just hurt Marcela. I also hurt Betty.

It was all a lie.

Does Beatriz know you toyed with her?

Yes, she found out in the end.

That's not the end of it, though.

I'm in love with Betty.

Here's your invite for Miami Fashion Week.

You can't miss it.

Ask someone to go with you

because I'm returning home tomorrow.

Well, I'm coming with you.

You're not staying? Not even to go to the party?

Oh, I don't have anything to wear to the event.

What are you doing here?

I need to know if you tried to kill yourself because of me.

You feel guilty? Spare me.

What does it matter if this was because of you or not?

Of course it matters. I never meant to hurt you.

Funny, you could've fooled me.

Armando, you and I have nothing to talk about.

Marcela, I feel like the worst man on Earth.

What should I do? Comfort you?

Make the most of your freedom and go...

-Please stop. -Ow!

-Are you OK? -Don't touch me.

I'm fine. Thank you.

Marcela, we need to talk.

What happened last night was very serious!

What happened?

I don't know.

It was a combination of many things.

I felt lonely, I missed my parents...

You're not alone.

You have me, your friends, your siblings.

You and I have always been good friends.

I'm not interested in your friendship.

See?

There's nothing for us to talk about.

Go after her. Be happy with Beatriz.

We're all paying the price so she can be happy.

You should've seen that dummy Wilson.

First he tells me he gets a good vibe from my brothers

and then he says he's scared of them.

You're going to break...

I just don't get it, Mariana. I don't get it.

I brought him home to show him off,

and he blabs about living with his parents.

Well, he's got no problem being a freeloader.

Hey! Chill, all right?

I may be mad at my boyfriend,

but that doesn't give you the right to badmouth him.

But... didn't you just say he messed up?

Yes, he messed up, but Wilson is a good man.

He always gets me gifts.

I don't care that they're small.

He shows me that he loves me.

And you know what?

You only think that way because you're an extremist.

Oh, no, no.

That's what I get for trying to help you.

No, Mariana! Please don't leave.

I love you very much

and you've always been there for me.

You and I are like twins. We love each other very much.

Sandrita, what's the matter with you?

You're acting strange.

First you're happy, then you're sad, then you cry.

-What's going on? -I don't know, but...

but now I want to... puke.

Hello? Yes, Mrs. Margarita.

Yes, of course. I'll be right there.

Giovas, I explained myself, but Sandra was set in her ways.

Do I have to go see her every night

because I went over for dinner once?

Well, I think your spirit acted in self-defense, Wilson.

She has four brothers. Anyone would be scared.

Don't be afraid to tell her.

Listen, Giovas, her brothers aren't the problem.

I'm used to dealing with violent people.

If they get physical, I'll use military tactics to stop them.

Slow your roll, Avenger. So what's the problem?

Listen, everything in life has a process.

You get it? A pro-cess.

She and I talked, got to know each other better,

we had our fun, but that doesn't mean we get along

or that we know each other well.

Why get so serious? What if we break up tomorrow?

What if you disappear,

like the ex-boyfriend no one ever heard from again?

If I were you, I'd hire a bodyguard.

Better safe than sorry.

It's just that... I'm not afraid for myself, Giovas.

I'm afraid for her brothers.

What if I go too far and I hurt them?

Poor Sandra will be very sad.

That's not the gentlemanly thing to do.

You'll have to forgive me, my dear Latino security guard,

but if you want Sandrita to get over it,

you'll have to get on your knees.

And just so you know, making a woman forget

the idea of getting married is easier said than done.

You're so extreme!

You're always so extreme!

My mission in this galaxy has not yet been fulfilled.

If you don't marry Sandra in this galaxy,

you'll be sent to the next one over.

This galaxy...

Yes, Mrs. Margarita? How may I help you?

Mariana, you care a lot about your boss, right?

Yes. Of course I do.

She's very good to me

and we've been working together for many years.

I don't understand your question.

You will soon.

Look, what I'm about to tell you is very serious.

Now more than ever, we need you to be loyal to Marcela.

She tried to kill herself last night.

Please calm down. She's OK.

She's in the hospital and she's recovering just fine.

But why? How could she?

Now's not the time to ask why.

The rest of the employees, her friends,

and especially the press can't find out about this.

We're going to say she left on an emergency trip.

I think that's believable enough, don't you?

Yes. Of course.

Above all, the Squad can't find out.

Understood?

Yes. Of course.

You got it.

Very well.

They're beautiful!

Thank you.

Did you bring me what I asked?

Of course.

Anything to make you feel better.

Thank you.

You're so sweet.

You're my favorite sister.

My only sister.

Enough, Malu.

Don't get like that. Don't start.

I already told you what happened was an accident.

An accident that almost cost you your life.

I swear I don't know what would become of me

if anything happened to you.

Let's not focus on that.

Let's focus on the fact that I'm getting out of here soon...

and how everything will go back to normal, OK?

Yes.

Armando stopped by and I wasn't affected in the least.

That idiot had the audacity to come here?

He supposedly feels guilty.

Sure he does. He is guilty.

This wouldn't have happened if he were a little honorable.

I'll tell him to stop bothering you.

No, there's no need. I made myself very clear.

But I will need you to cover for me at V&M.

I don't want to go back to work so soon.

Of course I will, sis. Leave it to me.

You are all that matters, OK?

Stop it. What happened?

Why did your boss leave in such a rush?

Marianita, Marianita!

Sorry, but there are reporters downstairs

asking to see Ms. Marcela.

She's unavailable.

Oh. What should I tell them?

When can they come back?

I don't know. Just say that.

Girl?

-Marianita? -Girl!

Girl, what happened?

I'm sorry I'm late, Marianita,

but you can tell us what happened.

I can't! This is just too much!

I don't care if I get fired.

I'm going to tell you because I can't keep this to myself.

Ms. Marcela is in the hospital.

What happened?

She tried to kill herself.

What?

No! No way!

What?

She survived thanks to her strong constitution.

That's not the worst part.

No one accidentally tries to kill herself.

Calling the wedding off really affected her.

Poor girl.

I imagine Armando must feel very guilty about all this.

Good!

I hope the guilt keeps that bastard up at night.

This is his fault.

And he was always off making out with models.

Betty probably knows what really happened.

It's a shame we don't know where she is and can't ask her what happened.

We don't know anything. We don't know where she is.

Girls, please don't speak a word of this.

I was asked to be extremely discreet.

We would never.

Believe it or not, I know how to keep quiet.

What are you doing here?

Dad...

If you're here to apologize, spare me the displeasure.

In fact, you should apologize to Marcela.

She's the real victim of all the crap you've done.

I already did this morning.

I went to check on her and to apologize to her.

Do you realize all the damage you've caused?

You broke Marcela's heart and you divided our families!

The Valencias were like our children to us.

Now, they hate us. And with good reason.

You had no right to trample over that friendship,

to run roughshod over everyone, and for what?

To bankrupt us? That's all you managed to do!

Tell me, how do you sleep at night?

Dad, I haven't slept in months

and I know nothing I say will change what you think of me.

Do you have any idea how much you've disappointed me?

I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm paying dearly for all the hurt I've caused,

but I'm trying to make amends to you, Marcela and Betty.

Betty? Good God!

What you did to that woman is unforgivable!

Are you in love with her?

I'm ready, Mr. Roberto.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should've knocked.

I'll come back later.

No, don't leave, Nicolas.

Tell me, are you in touch with Beatriz Rincon?

Yes, we speak often.

Good.

Reach out to your friend

and tell her that because she went along

with what my irresponsible son wanted,

the company's situation has become untenable.

If she really is the good and honest person she claims to be,

she should show up here.

Oh, this doesn't look good.

Oh, Marce.

Marce, please don't die.

What am I going to do if you die?

Who will I go out to eat with? Who will I gossip with?

Marcela!

You scared me!

What are you doing?

Marce, I thought you were dying.

In all seriousness, you and I need to talk.

What were you thinking?

How could you try to kill yourself?

I mean, were you going to leave me all alone in this world,

without a best friend?

Patricia, I didn't try to kill myself.

It was an accident.

Haven't you ever made a mistake after drinking too much?

Marce, a lady doesn't kiss and tell.

If I don't remember it, it didn't happen.

Well, I do.

I had a few too many tequilas

and then I took too many sleeping pills.

It was an accident.

I obviously didn't want to kill myself.

I just want to get out of here.

I've had it with unwanted visitors.

No, I obviously don't mean you. I meant... Armando.

Can you believe he stopped by

to pretend he feels guilty and remorseful?

How awful.

Men are all the same, Marce. They're so basic.

But they love damsels in distress.

Marce, why don't you make the most of this opportunity

and make him suffer?

What do you mean?

This is a great opportunity, Marce.

You can make him think you tried to kill yourself

because of him and he'll suffer because of it.

No?

Look, March,

I'm what you'd call a manipulation sensei.

I'm an expert in confusing men by using guilt.

Well, enlighten me with your knowledge.

It's basic stuff, Marce.

Successful women such as ourselves

have a hard time dating because we don't need men.

We're independent, self-sufficient.

On the other hand, the desperate damsels

have all the men because they pretend to be victims.

It's elementary, my dear Marce.

What you have to do is behave like a victim.

When you do, Armand will fall for you.

You think so?

Of course! I'm sure of it!

Oh, I don't know, Patricia.

I don't know if I'm capable of doing something like that.

Besides, Armando is in love with Beatriz

and if I'm completely honest, I'm done crying over love.

Crying over love? We don't cry over love.

We'd cry because we went on a diet

and didn't lose any weight.

You're already over it.

Now's the time for revenge.

Armando may be madly in love with uggo,

but uggo doesn't love him.

If she did, she'd be with him.

Why do you think Armando went to Miami?

To seek her out.

Yes, but he came back alone and with his tail between his legs.

Uggo may be very ugly, but she apparently has some dignity.

What if Beatriz is a con artist who just wanted to keep V&M?

Why does that matter, Marce?

She's handed you Armando on a silver platter.

He's alone, he feels guilty, and he's needy.

Now's your chance, Marcela! That dog should suffer!

It's so great to hug you again, Billy!

You're the best stylist in Miami.

Oh, stop.

I lied. Don't stop.

You know I have nothing but praise for you.

Likewise.

Darling, I brought the friend I told you about.

OK. Where is she?

Boo!

Betty needs a complete makeover

and I know you'll find the ideal look

that will highlight her beauty.

Are you sure? I can't make any promises.

This will be a challenge.

Don't you like challenges?

I love challenges!

What's your name?

Beatriz Rincon.

Very well.

You'll have to change your name as of today

because by the time we're done, it won't be Beatriz Rincon

walking out that door.

It'll be another woman.

Got it?

Let's perform a miracle.

Catalina.

What are you doing here?

I don't want you to see me like this.

How? As beautiful as ever?

I was worried about you, Marcela.

If you weren't feeling well, you should've called me.

Thank you, but...

there are times in life when you just can't go on.

I felt sad, abandoned, alone.

Marcela, you're not alone. You have me.

You know I adore you and that I'd do anything for you.

Thank you.

I'd like to apologize to you.

Times like this help you realize who really loves you.

I don't know how I sunk so low because of Armando.

Marcela, it's not your fault. None of this is.

Armando was a jerk who toyed with you

and his pride kept him from seeing the consequences of his actions.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

You're all that matters now.

Thank you.

Now if you don't mind, I'd like to rest for a bit.

OK, get some rest. Call me if you need anything.

Ricardo, thank you for always being by my side.

I feel like I swallowed a family of worms.

I felt really nauseous.

It's over now, though.

It's like I'm pregnant.

Oh, don't be scared. I have everything under con...

Damn it.

That's what you get for running off

to the supply closet with Wilson.

No, no. I keep track of my cycle.

I'm up to date with... If this happened on...

No, no. No!

No, Mariana! No!

Oh, Sweet Virgin!

I didn't want to tell you,

but remember when I did your reading

and you got the Empress?

Yes, but it means abundance.

And fertility.

-What? -Shh!

You can yell whatever you want after we make sure.

What?

Don't yell!

Is... that me?

Of course it is. The best version of you.

How do you feel, Betty? What do you think?

Betty, no, no.

Don't you dare shed a tear.

You look beautiful.

Beautiful inside and out.

I love it. I love it!

Me too.

Don't cry. Deep breaths.

Fan yourself.

Nicolas, it seems everything's going wonderfully.

Two companies, Frank.

I don't know how they do it, Peter.

We actually have an offer for you.

Since you're managing V&M,

you'll probably need a pool of lawyers you trust implicitly.

It could be us.

We're willing to drop our clients to represent you.

Exclusively.

What do you say, Nick?

No.

We're going to return BAR and V&M to its original owners.

What?

You're going to sell to Mendoza and Valencia?

No, we're not going to sell.

We're going to hand it over just like that,

without asking for anything in return.

You're being threatened.

That's why Ms. Rincon left the city.

You're being threatened. Who's threatening you?

If so, we know people in the underworld who can protect you.

No, we're not being threatened!

This was Betty's decision. She wants to be...

Poor again?

Yes, she wants to be poor again.

And I can only follow her instructions.

I need you to please find the best way to carry out this transition

so Beatriz won't end up in any trouble.

And won't make any money either.

All right... it won't be easy.

For starters, the families need to start by finding someone

who'll take responsibility for all of V&M's and BAR's debt.

We also have to see if the banks will agree to it.

They never do.

You don't say. Well, find a way.

That's your job, boys. Show me you're good.

I'll go get V&M's attorneys so you can talk.

Lovely seeing you. I won't be long.

Armand, I'm glad I ran into you.

I wanted to talk to you.

Really?

It's about Marce.

She's not well at all.

I know, but I don't know what to do, Patricia.

I've tried talking to her, but she won't let me near her.

Don't trust anything a scorned woman says.

She needs you now more than ever.

I was just at the hospital visiting her

and she wouldn't stop talking about you.

She even smiled like this.

How?

-Like that? -Uh-huh.

-Really? -Yes.

In fact, the nurse thought she looked so well

I think she was being discharged.

-Really? -Uh-huh.

That's great news!

Yes, I know. And all thanks to you.

That's why you have to stay close to Marce.

Ricardo thinks I should stay away from her.

What does Ricardo know? He's Ricardo!

What does he know about women?

I'm a woman and I'm Marcela's best friend, Armando.

Everyone thinks you're a bastard,

a jerk spat from the depths of Hell,

an amoral, unfaithful, untrustworthy

and dishonorable man...

I'm on your side, though.

Thanks.

Does everyone really think that about me?

Of course! Everyone but me obviously.

I just want to help you patch things up with Marce.

If you don't want her to try to kill herself again, that is.

Well, now you know.

I hope you suffer, Armando! I sure do!

That's what you get for hurting my friend

and for every time you yelled at me.

Laughing by yourself, chicken legs?

I knew you were crazy, but I didn't know you were so gone.

-I'll tell you a joke. -Let's hear it.

Stop messing with me, OK?

I'm not your problem. Obesity is your problem.

-What? -Do something about it.

I told you the body has a memory and I was right.

You're still the same little meatball.

And you're still thin.

This can't be. Is it pathological?

Why is it that everyone in this office is always eating?

The poor can only focus on eating well.

We don't like to be as thin as you.

What'd you buy, girl?

Water.

Oh, please! You're drinking water now?

What's that?

Don't make me do something I don't want to!

You're scary!

Enough! Leave her alone!

Why won't you let me in on the gossip?

-It's because she's here. -Yeah, right.

-Did you get the water? -Uh-huh.

OK.

Bye.

Let me see.

People are such busybodies.

Water.

Awful.

You love to be the center of attention.

We have a jug here. Why would you go buy water?

You're generating more waste. Poor planet. How awful.

You're a cheap busybody.

May I?

Yes, but if you ask me if I want you here...

Come on in.

Have a seat. Welcome.

Nicolas, I know you don't like me very much

and believe me, the feeling is mutual,

but there's no need for this bad blood to continue.

I'm here to offer my unconditional support.

Thank you... but I don't need your support.

Fortunately, I can do what the company needs by myself.

And given your history of helping others...

You offered to help Betty several times before

and look at the state the company's in.

Yes, I know. I won't abandon Betty now.

That's why I'm here, facing you.

Well, you can go face someone else

because we have our own team of lawyers.

Nicolas, you may not believe it, but I've changed.

I changed a lot after meeting Betty.

People change.

Yes, people change and they can become way worse.

Look, the only thing that scares you

is losing your family's company,

that Betty won't want to return it,

but there's great news.

Good people still exist.

We're going to return it

because Betty doesn't want anything from you.

Yes, I know you were right. You've always been right.

I made a mistake in voting for Armando

to be president of V&M.

I was blinded and in love then.

I know.

What matters now is that you're getting past that stage

and life goes on, right?

That's why you should support my decision to buy V&M.

You got it.

I won't let the Mendozas destroy

what little is left of our parents' legacy.

If you need my vote, you got it.

Good.

Mom, the headache came so suddenly

that I had to stop cooking lunch.

Are you sick?

No, I wasn't feeling well yesterday,

but the meds I took didn't help.

I think the trip to Miami threw my system for a spin.

I've been nauseous since we returned

and sometimes my arm hurts.

Strange little things like that.

See a doctor.

I have some discomfort, but it'll pass.

If I go see a doctor, I'll be there all morning, Mom.

-Your health comes first. -All right, all right.

I promise to see a doctor after Betty returns.

Miami's at sea level, so that's probably it.

Mom, help me. What can I whip up for dinner?

Let's get right to the point, gentlemen.

Yes, we don't want to waste our time.

We're very busy lawyers and this is just another case.

-Right, Frank? -Right, Peter.

Right.

Well, my clients would like to know what it will take

for Ms. Beatriz Rincon to return their company to them.

Well, we'd like to know how much you're willing...

Frank.

Our client doesn't want money.

She wants to hand over the companies

without any financial compensation.

What?

We don't understand it either.

I do, Frank.

This won't be easy, though.

Our client's only condition

is that she be free of any responsibility.

She wants to cut all ties to V&M and BAR.

You do realize that's impossible, don't you?

Yes, we do.

That's why we have an offer for you.

-Right, Frank? -Right, Peter.

Boss, you can tell me.

I'm your assistant, your right hand woman.

This is highly classified information.

And you're friends with everyone.

Boss, I promise, I swear by all that is holy,

I swear these lips won't say a word.

Let me help you.

I can help relieve you of that burden.

OK.

We believe we found the person who stole Hugo's collection.

Yes, yes.

This person sold the information.

You don't say.

You're V&M's best detective!

Between you and me, who was it?

All right, boss! You can't do this to me.

Listen, I need to know more.

Otherwise, the anxiety will kill me.

Can't you give me another clue?

OK, OK.

The person is someone who works in Hugo's department

and has been at the company for a long time.

OK, that's enough. I have to act and that's it.

Speaking of other things, what are you going to do?

Well, we'll cancel their contract

and take legal action against this person.

Take one.

Go on.

Excuse me.

Good afternoon. How may I help you?

Does Beatriz Rincon live here?

Yes, sir. How may I help you?

So this is the rat nest where it all started?

-Excuse you? -Disgusting.

How dare you say that?

Julia, what's going on?

-Who is this man and what does he want? -I don't know.

My name is Daniel Valencia, majority shareholder at V&M,

and I'm here to inform you

that your daughter is going to be tried for fraud.

What? What are you talking about?

Your daughter is a thief

and she'll pay for what she's done with a lengthy sentence.

Respect my daughter!

She would never steal anything!

We all thought the same, sir,

but I have evidence stating otherwise.

Beatriz is V&M's new owner. She owns the company's capital.

Did you know about this, Julia?

No, of course not!

He's lying! Don't believe this man!

You shouldn't be here! Leave my house!

Don't listen to him, Demetrio.

He doesn't know what he's saying.

Betty isn't a con artist.

Then why is she hiding in Miami?

We've tried to reach her so she'll return the company,

but she won't turn up.

Betty hasn't gone missing. She's working.

We... are decent people.

Prisons are full of decent people like you.

-Julia. -Sit, sit.

-I don't feel well. -Calm down.

Deep breaths.

So Mr. Smith hasn't found who stole Mr. Hugo's collection?

No, but he insists the person responsible works for Mr. Hugo.

A lot of people work for him.

It'll be hard to find out who it was.

That's precisely why it can't be the person we think it is.

He said the person had been working here for a long time

and that even though he felt sorry he was going to proceed.

A long time?

-Inesita! -Inesita!

Oh, no! No way!

I told you someone had set Inesita up!

No way!

That's horrible!

People in large companies do that.

They go after the weakest link.

Since Inesita is old, sick and about to die,

they're putting her out to pasture.

Good thing you care about her.

I do care about her.

That's precisely why I'm not going to tell her.

I wouldn't want to send her to the Great Beyond any sooner.

Zip it!

Lately you've been very careless.

She can't find out.

I care about her. Come on.

I'll keep quiet.

Yeah, you look better when you keep quiet.

-Yeah? -I swear you do.

I'll keep quiet all the time then.

So what are you going to do if the test comes back positive?

I don't know.

I keep thinking about how I'm going to tell my brothers and dad.

I'll have to find a new place to live.

Regardless of what happens, you have to tell Wilson.

No, no.

He barely makes enough to cover his expenses.

What does it say?

I don't know! These things only happen to me!

-What is it? -There are four lines.

What does that mean?

The sticker is still on.

Um...

There are two lines.

So what?

You're pregnant.

That's enough of that. I'm sure you were aware of it.

Leave already!

Can't you see the state my husband's in?

Calm down. There must be an explanation.

We're going to call Betty and she'll clear everything up.

I knew it.

I knew the world of fashion wasn't for her.

I warned her, Julia.

They're probably using her as their scapegoat.

Yes, honey. That's probably it.

In the meantime, try to calm down.

The doctor said you couldn't get overly excited.

Inhale. Exhale.

Inhale again.

That's it.

Now please leave.

You've done enough harm by coming here.

Leave!

OK, I'll leave.

But tell Beatriz she has 24 hours to show her face.

Otherwise, she'll have to face the consequences.

Julia!
