Original subtitles

When Gregorio Mata asked me to steal Hugo's collection,

I had nothing.

I was broke and pregnant.

All right, I don't want to hear anything else.

There's someone else behind this.

You're not thinking...

When Mata worked here,

he was essentially your brother's employee.

And you? You think so too?

I won't let you two accuse Daniel

of something he didn't do.

Fabio took all his things.

Fabio and Romina aren't lovers. They're husband and wife.

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

It can't be!

They emptied all my bank accounts.

Fabio stole my money.

The company that was producing those clothes

belonged to Mr. Daniel Valencia.

-What? -What?

Not only did he steal, he made money off our clothes!

Daniel's here to prove his innocence.

I should kill you!

-Calm down! -I should kill you!

The jig is up! I won't let you keep hurting us!

Who do you think you are?

This company isn't even yours.

This was our parents' legacy and you lost it!

You gave it to your secretary!

Are you proud of stealing our collection

and selling it at a lower price?

You want recognition for all those employees

who died in your factory?

What are you talking about?

The honorable Daniel Valencia profited off slave labor

and stole from his own family!

Shut up! Don't talk to me that way!

It's true! Try to deny it!

Do something! Do something!

-What? -You're the most despicable man I know.

-Yes. -Yeah, all that pride and arrogance

are merely hiding your inferiority complex!

You're the only one inferior here!

And you shouldn't have gotten in my way!

Nicolas!

That's enough!

-Nicolas! -Leave him alone!

Nicolas has nothing to do with this!

Leave or I'll call the police!

Nicolas! Nico.

According to this app,

there were two transfers from my bank account to Fabi's.

Well, Fabio and Romina are probably still in New York.

-We need to call the police. -No!

Don't call the police.

Hugo, you've just been robbed! There's no time to waste.

But Fabio didn't know the passwords to my account.

And we didn't know

the kind of people he and his "sister" are.

How much more proof do you need?

Here is the marriage certificate.

They took all their clothes.

Why do you insist on protecting him?

I'm not, I just... I need to talk to him.

Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding.

Hugo, open your eyes.

I don't want to accuse him of something

he might not have done.

You heard him! He threatened to kill me!

Who does he think he is?

Calm down, Daniel.

I won't!

I won't calm down! He crossed the line!

He accused me of a crime when he's the criminal.

I'm going to take out a restraining order against him.

Malu's right.

Calm down and explain

what he was talking about.

You want me to explain?

Well, I won't and you know why? Because Armando's lying.

Nothing he said is true.

So what he said about the factory in India isn't true?

Of course not!

I don't own anything in that country!

I can't believe you trust him more than me after what he did!

No one trusts him more. That's not what this is about.

We obviously believe you. You're our brother.

However, we would like you to explain what happened.

You want to know. I'll tell you.

Armando's trying to come between us

so he can oust us as shareholders.

He just wants Beatriz to return him and his family the company,

nothing more.

How could you threaten Daniel like that

in front of everyone else?

That's very serious.

What's the matter with you, Armando?

You can't just lose control like that.

We had a plan.

I just couldn't stand his executive of the year face.

He's a traitor and a criminal

who wants to destroy our company.

I think that after all this,

the process will be very difficult.

We've just given him a heads up.

We've given him time to get his lawyers ready.

He'll get away again.

No, not this time.

We have Romina's statement

where she ties Mata to all this.

Plus, we can talk to Amul.

He knows Daniel owned that factory in India.

Isn't there any legal recourse?

We don't have proof.

As far as I know, we can't verify Amul's testimony.

We don't have anything against Daniel Valencia,

but we do have more than enough against Gregorio Mata.

Then let's go after him.

We need to catch him. He'll talk.

Mata is the key to Daniel's downfall.

If that's true, I'm going to talk to Armando

and I'm going to demand he give me an explanation.

You? Oh, please!

You can't have an objective conversation with him.

You're in love with him

and he does whatever he wants with you.

That's not true!

-Yeah, right. -Tell him!

-Tell him he's wrong! -Please.

Right now, I somewhat agree with Daniel.

-Obviously! -But that's beside the point.

Right now, we need to clear your name, Daniel.

-Armando's accusations are very serious. -Yes.

I think you should let them investigate you.

That way they'll see you're not involved.

No, what for?

To give Armando the satisfaction?

No, I'm not going to play his game.

The only one who needs to be investigated,

and treated by a psychiatrist, is Armando.

No one in their right mind would do what he did.

Wait. What are you saying?

What do you mean?

You've never considered this?

No one of sound mind

would leave you for the Bride of Frankenstein,

give up his company, and threaten to kill me.

So you're saying Armando's insane?

That would explain his behavior.

Armando's off his rocker

and he's looking at anyone and everyone

to blame for his actions.

He's gone crazy and he needs professional help.

It hurts, hurts.

Patricia, the only good thing

is that my glasses are as good as new.

This is the only frame that looks good on me.

All the others make me look like I have a big head.

Do you know how? Uh-huh.

Your glasses are the least of your worries.

Look at that bruise. Poor you!

I'm going to get some tea bags to help the swelling go down.

No, don't worry.

This should be gone in about two weeks.

Or one.

You can't walk around looking like that.

You're the number two man at this company.

Really?

You know.

Besides, on a personal level, you've very important to me.

You know that.

Really...

You and I have unfinished business.

Well, let's finish it right now. You left me hanging.

No, Nico.

Not here. Someone could see us.

Who?

Remember when you asked me to write you down

the amount of money I needed to get my baby back?

Uh-huh.

Well, I know now.

Oh... it's hidden up there...

Here it is!

Oh, darling...

What?

-What? -What... oh.

Patri.

What?

Is this an amount or a date of birth?

Damn...

You're not going to loan it to me?

But you said...

No... no.

Don't, my love. Don't make that face.

Don't do that.

Okay, I'll loan it to you.

But only on one condition.

What?

You can't tell anyone because this is a lot

and I don't want anyone else coming here

asking me for money.

Okay, don't worry. I won't tell.

I'll do whatever you want, my little hush puppy.

I love it when you call me that.

It really turns me on.

Well, there's the paper.

Don't lose it, Nicolas.

Pst... pst...

Isa, excuse me. I'm looking for Hugo.

Do you know where he is?

-Thank you. -Armando, can we talk?

No, not now.

I'm looking for Hugo. It's urgent.

So is this.

I'm worried about you.

About me?

If you're talking about what happened with Daniel,

don't worry about me, worry about him.

He committed a serious crime.

Do you have proof?

No, not yet, but I will.

Mata will talk and then you'll see

what kind of rat your brother is.

Armando, have you considered taking a vacation?

A vacation?

V&M is going through its worst time.

I can't leave.

You went too far.

You threatened to kill my brother.

Yes, maybe I lost control a bit, but it's all his fault.

We're in this mess because of him.

-I beg your pardon? -Yes.

Need I remind you who got us in this mess?

This is no time to point fingers.

If you see Hugo, tell him I'm looking for him.

Okay.

Ricardo, tell me the truth.

What's going on with my brother?

Why did Armando make up all those lies?

You and I shouldn't talk about Daniel.

I don't want things to get weird when we're doing so well.

Do you really have something on him?

Do you have proof?

Daniel asked you to investigate.

Is he that paranoid?

No, of course not.

Daniel is too proud to send me here to investigate.

It's just me.

We trust each other. Please tell me.

How true is all this?

We learned from a very good source

that your brother bought a textile factory in India

by means of corporate espionage.

Gregorio Mata kept working for him

and procured vital information so he could buy the company.

No, my brother wouldn't do something like that.

I'm not done.

That's the same factory

that manufactured Hugo's stolen collection.

Some coincidence, huh?

That factory burned down...

with many of its employees still inside.

But that's horrible.

Daniel's a very aggressive businessman,

but he's not a criminal.

I can't convince you.

I respect your relationship with your brother,

so just search online.

You'll find everything about that fire.

Malu, Daniel isn't the man you know.

Your brother is a man of many faces.

What is this?

Damn you, Valencia!

You want to play... you dared to, right?

What do you want?

I already told you there's nothing to talk about.

Oh, but I have lots to tell you,

and you're going to listen.

I'm sick of you treating me

like a useless good-for-nothing.

You're worthless, Mata.

And I'm warning you, if you talk,

I'll make sure you rot in prison.

Oh, I quiver with fear.

You know what?

I'm going to confess everything.

Let's see who's who here.

You'd be wasting your time.

No one will believe anything you say,

especially now that you have no proof.

So you admit it!

You came to my house and stole my computer!

What are you talking about?

Why would I go to your house? Have a good day, Mata.

And instead of blabbing about all this nonsense,

you should be enjoying your remaining time

as a free man because so soon you will miss it.

Hey, man. You're still getting old.

It doesn't stop with your birthday.

How does it feel?

It doesn't feel different.

Oh, please!

You already have a moustache.

You'll have to start shaving soon.

Are you alone?

Yes, but only for a bit.

Uncle Charly went to buy soda and snacks for the party.

Soda and snacks? How vulgar!

He's so irresponsible to leave you two by yourselves.

You used to do it when you'd go see Jenny.

Quiet. Don't defend that traitor.

And let's not argue. It's your birthday.

I brought you a surprise so you know who loves you most

and who's the best dad in the world.

-A surprise? -Of course.

What is it?

-Wait and see. -What is it?

-I'm sorry. -That was scary.

Congrats!

Oh, no, no.

-It's him. -It's him.

Sorry. They're so much alike.

-Hurry. -Give me a hug.

You're so pretty even though you're missing a tooth.

Today will be unforgettable.

You'll see.

-Pizzas! -Come pass.

As you can see,

we're basing our study in the growth of brands

that have adapted to new consumers.

That's right.

We're talking about real women who need to be represented

in order to feel more beautiful and comfortable.

That's our new target.

So you're planning to continue your line of informal wear.

Uh-huh.

Are you sure about this?

Uh-huh.

Totally.

It's risky.

We know, but we're sure of this.

We have the infrastructure and Mr. Lombardi's design talent.

You know that...

Armand, you can't just burst in.

-I need to announce you. -Hey.

Fine, I won't announce you.

Armando, we're in a business meeting.

Betty rejected your job offer yesterday.

Coming to V&M to try and convince her

seems like an inappropriate thing

for someone like you to do.

Armando, what we're doing here...

Betty is staying as president.

She's not going anywhere.

Armando, Mr. Thompson isn't trying to get Betty.

On the contrary, he's bringing us his money.

He's going to invest in V&M.

And here I thought I was possessive of my employees.

I'm here to do business with you.

I'm investing in your next collection,

but only because of Betty

and I want that to be a part of our contract.

I won't invest unless you're running things.

Count on that.

Oh!

Bravo!

Efrain. Efrain!

Come here.

Sofia, welcome to the party I'm hosting for my son.

How dare you? This is my house!

You needed to ask me permission!

How can you just start this mess?

Why do I need your permission? My kids live here.

It's their house too.

What would've been bad is taking them without letting you know.

Sofia, would you like some coke or a kilt... cook?

-Cookie. -Right.

Oh, right.

It'll probably give you heartburn.

So you invited this skank too?

Isn't this a kids party?

She looks likes she's ready to perform a striptease.

-Sofia, there are children here! -Ma'am, please show some respect.

You're talking to a lady and a quarter millionaire.

Oh, sure!

Well, you're talking to the owner of the house.

My cake has more authority than your... stupid cookies.

Let me help you.

Give it back!

Isn't it pretty? Oh, wait. Look.

-Lizeth. -Give...

Oops.

Your authority has just been... smashed to pieces.

-Get over here. -No...

Get back here!

Get back here! Don't run.

No, no, wait a second.

Hold her...

Calm down. Your kids are here. You can't attack her.

Record her so we have evidence. Come on.

Shut up! This isn't the last of it.

I'm going to accuse you of breaking and entering.

I didn't invite you here, so you'll be found guilty.

All right. Let's go.

Get her out of here. You're crazy!

Crazy!

Are you okay, lovebug?

Of course I am. I have nothing against her.

You know how I am and how she is.

-Yes. -She's old.

Besides, I like to forgive and forget.

You're so good.

Really? You like it?

Well, I promise all your birthdays will be like this

from now on.

There'll be lots of happy birthdays!

But... what was Mom telling you?

Was she upset?

No, son. Why would she get upset?

She was congratulating me for being an excellent father.

Let's go dance!

Reggaeton!

-Hurry, Aura Maria. -Coming.

-They're waiting for us. -I've had a tough day.

Hi, Giovas.

Hi.

Hey, can you give me a ride today?

I wish I could, but...

But there's only room for two on the motorcycle.

Sorry.

Right, honey?

Yes, my darling. There's only room for two.

You and I.

Yes.

Look what I brought you.

It's a surprise.

What do you think of the color?

It's beautiful.

He's always so nice to me.

Honey, you're spoiling me.

It's so nothing happens to that beautiful head of yours.

I'm crazy about you...

Don't I love you so much, you little...

Me too, sweetie pie.

Thank you for thinking of me. Shall we go, then?

Yes, say the word and I'll follow.

Excuse me.

See you.

-Bye. -Bye.

Who'd have thought these two

would end up in love?

Hey, honey!

Hey, baby.

Isn't it nice to see people in love?

By the way, my man's waiting for me.

See you.

Wait for me.

Hugui, I made you chicken soup.

With noodles, just how you like it.

Thank you, Inesita, but I really don't want anything.

Go home.

No, I'm not going to leave you alone.

I'll keep looking after you even if you don't talk to me

and I won't leave you alone until you eat something.

Hello. Welcome.

Hey, Charly! Where's the cake?

It's down there.

Let's go, honey.

Come in. Welcome.

Hello.

Welcome.

Aura Maria's here with her son.

Come in.

Why are you so late? So you could make an entrance?

Giovas, this party is so cool.

Give me five! That's good.

Let's... let's go...

Are you two dating?

Y... yes.

Wow!

So?

Are you going to stand together the entire party

or you going to split up and have some fun?

Let's have fun!

-Where are you going? -Yes DJ.

Marianita, I'm sorry, but don't you think we're being

a tiny bit mean to Aura Maria?

No.

Resist. She's about to be yours.

Come.

No, thanks.

Yes, more, more!

I love this song!

Wait, wait.

Help me.

-Lovebug... -Give me a push.

What's wrong?

Where are you going?

Don't give him anything to drink.

He's a bit...

What are you doing?

What's the matter with you?

You're okay.

Give me the microphone.

No, lovebug. Don't give it to him.

I have something to say.

Microphone.

Thank you.

Hello, hello...

Hello, hello...

Come here, son.

Come here.

Okay.

This champion here with me...

I've known since he was a little boy.

Since he was really little, since he was a baby.

I used to tell him not to study so much.

He's a bookworm. He's so responsible.

But he'd tell me... no...

I've learned so much from him.

He's so smart.

You're going to continue my legacy, son.

-I love him so much. -Lovebug. He's your son, not him.

Come here, kid.

Who's that kid?

Some kid. That one's your son.

Champ!

What's up? Where were you?

Did you hear what I told the kid?

-Uh-huh. -The same applies to you.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm throwing this party

for my son, who I love very much.

To this one.

That's so nice.

I want everyone to know that I want to give my kids

what I never had.

Decency, right?

That was good, man. Give him a drink.

Give me the microphone. Let go of the microphone.

No, no... Leave me alone.

Give it...

The boy, the boy!

He's my son!

You're choking him.

Okay.

I'm giving my son another surprise, okay, champ?

It's you now, right?

I'm giving my son the horse he wants.

Bravo!

No, no, no! Quiet!

This party's over.

Everyone go home.

A horse? Shut up!

Everyone, go home.

Thank you for coming. Thank you.

Please.

Thank you, thank you. Let's go.

How could Efrain do this to me?

I know, but don't let him win.

You need to be patient.

Do it for the kids.

I am patient and try to be patient, but I can't.

Now that he has money,

why can't he go far away with that skank and let me be?

Eh?

Um...

if you let dad buy us the horse,

we can keep it in the living room.

It's big enough.

Huh?

123?

Yeah, that would pay off the loan.

Still, you won't get back your loft.

That's the least of my worries after everything I did.

The important thing is to buy Daniel's shares.

Betty, I'm sorry for keeping you here this late.

I know this isn't part of your job as president.

Don't worry.

I'm readying everything for when it's my time to go

and you take over.

We don't know that that will happen.

But...

Let me ask you out to dinner. We can go wherever you want.

No, no.

You and I aren't going anywhere.

That's not necessary.

At least let me take you home.

Wow! It's Marcela.

You take that call and tell her you're on your way.

I can go on my own. Don't worry.

Good night, Armando.

Look at him! He's so cute.

Oh, Joaquin!

Look at his eyes.

I'm sure he was thinking about you

when this picture was taken.

Mom, how would you know what he's thinking?

Besides, stop stalking him on social media.

All right. Okay.

How'd everything go?

Why'd you get home so late?

Because I was working with Armando on a few things.

At least tell me Nicolas was there.

No, it was just the two of us.

Oh, honey. Don't expose yourself.

You know the heart doesn't forget.

The more it's hurt, the more foolish it becomes.

It's best if you stay away from him.

I know, but we work together. We have to work together.

Still, I promised Ms. Marcela that I'd stay away from him

and I'm going to keep my word.

Her stay is contingent upon that condition.

I need to keep my word. Don't worry.

Besides, I don't ever want to lose control again.

Promise.

Huguito!

Hugui.

Hugo!

Hugui, Hugo?

Betty, it's me.

Sorry to call you so early. I'm just really scared.

Hugo's missing.

I'm at his place and I've been looking for him everywhere, but I can't find him.

Oh, no. Stay calm, Inesita, okay?

Stay in his apartment in case he comes back.

I'll get things moving. Don't worry.

I'll call you soon.

Bye.

Hey, Wilson. It's Betty.

Can you do me a favor?

If you see Hugo Lombardi arrive,

can you give me a call?

We're looking for him.

He's here, Betty.

He's been here since early in the morning.

I saw him in the cameras.

Hey.

What are you doing here? Did you come here to kill me?

Don't be ridiculous. I'm here to talk to you.

Really? What about?

What other conspiracy have you come up with?

Please, Daniel.

I want to buy you out.

With what money are you planning to buy me out?

Are you going to sell your organs on the black market?

Where the money comes from isn't your concern.

I'll handle the purchase.

Your proposal sounds tempting, but I'm not interested.

Hey, hey. Wait.

Think about it.

If you don't do it,

I'll use the theft of the collection to destroy you.

That again?

Have you considered going to a psychiatrist?

You're saying a lot of crazy things lately.

I'm not crazy and I swear that when I get proof...

You don't have proof and you never will

because I didn't do anything.

Instead, get used to the idea

of me buying you out.

I'm going to own V&M

and you're going to wind up with nothing.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

You rang?

Yes, sir. Have a seat.

Beatriz.

I'm not in the mood to talk.

I can't put up with you today.

I can't answer for what I might do to you.

I just wanted to tell you that I understand...

How could you understand what's happened to me?

Don't say that.

You've no idea what it's like to plan your life out

with the person you love,

to love them so much, to wake up next to them,

to feel them, to dream about a life with them,

and then one morning wake up

only to find out it was all a lie.

You must be happy.

You were right.

Fabio was cheating on me

and now you've come here like an angel of vengeance

ready to take revenge on all of us, one by one.

Sir... I...

I'm not happy about what's happened to you, at all.

I've suffered too.

I was lied to and used too, and not just recently.

It's always been that way ever since I was a child.

I was insulted and mocked.

I lived a lot of bad experiences.

But then one day I thought I could fall in love.

And I did.

I fell madly in love with someone

who broke my heart too,

who destroyed me.

You and I have a lot in common.

We've both been discriminated against and lied to.

If you keep insisting,

I'll take out a restraining order against you.

You threatened me yesterday and I don't trust you anymore.

You should think about it.

Imagine not having to see each other every day in the office.

Think about it.

Daniel.

Daniel! Hey.

Daniel.

Daniel...

Daniel. Daniel.

Daniel! Hey!

Hey.

Hold on...

I'm in Central Park. A man's been shot.

Please hurry.

Daniel, hold on. The ambulance is coming.

Daniel...

I understand that right now you might think

you won't survive this, that there is no solution to this,

but that's only because it just happened.

What you need is time.

Don't tell me what to do or what I need.

Okay.

I'm sorry, but we need you here.

We're all working toward the same goal.

Why don't you design?

Now you have a new challenge.

Dive into your work. You're a great designer.

Your challenge is to design for the everyday woman.

Oh, please!

Designing for Paris Fashion Week is a challenge,

competing... in the MET Gala.

Designing for everyday... common women isn't a challenge.

It's disgusting.

Then you can take a vacation

while you figure things out.

Look, I'm not leaving V&M

in case that's what you're thinking.

I'll never leave.

Now please, Beatriz, do me a favor

and stop giving me the kind of stupid advice

you read in magazines for everyday women.

Well, then give yourself...

some time

before you start work on your new collection.

We need you here.

And what I need is to not listen to you...

and not see you.

Excuse me.

No, Maria Lucia. It's Armando.

Hello.

What?

What do you mean Daniel's been hurt?

What? What happened?

He was shot? Where?

Who?

They're taking him to the hospital.

Give me a second.

-Yes. -We need to talk to you.

-But... -You can catch up with him.

We need your statement.

I don't know what happened. I was talking to him.

I said goodbye, walked away, heard the gunshot,

and then I saw him on the ground.

Did you see where the gunshot came from?

No, I didn't see anything.

What's your relationship with the victim?

He's my former brother-in-law.

-Former brother-in-law. -Yes.

How would you describe your relationship?

I don't know. Normal.

We've had issues at work, but that's all.

What is it? What happened?

Honey...

I know what happened! Daniel Valencia's been shot!

I know everything, boss.

Is it serious?

She knows everything, doesn't she? Tell her.

Hands off, Rosie.

Well, the thing is that no one knows yet.

Marcela and Malu just left to see him.

Does Armando know? Did someone tell him?

Yeah... I think. I mean... I think...

-No... -We don't know... who knows?

What?

Mr. Valencia was very lucky.

Fortunately, the bullet passed through

without hitting any of his vital organs.

He just needs to come out of the anesthesia

so we can evaluate his condition.

Okay?

Thank you, doctor.

-All right. -I'll walk you out.

How could something like this happen?

I don't know. Stay calm.

Everything will be all right?

Daniel. Daniel...

Bro.

Daniel, how are you?

How are you feeling?

-Danny. -Huh?

Who did this to you?

Armando.
