Original subtitles

-I should kill you! -Calm down!

How could you threaten Daniel like that

in front of everyone? That's very serious.

I want to buy you out.

Instead, get used to the idea

that I'm going to buy you out.

If you keep insisting,

I'll get a restraining order against you.

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

Think about it.

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

Daniel.

Daniel! Hey. Daniel.

What do you mean Daniel's been hurt?

They're taking him to the hospital.

Who did this to you?

Armando.

Armando shot you?

Danny?

Danny.

No. No, it can't be.

Armando would never do something like that.

Marcela, don't. Stop siding with him.

I'm not siding with him. We know him.

He would never shoot anyone.

Armando's capable of nothing, and yet he's capable of everything.

Don't you see it?

He threatened to kill him yesterday

and he was there with him when he was shot.

Do you really think that's a coincidence?

There must be an explanation.

There's only one explanation: Daniel is right.

Armando's crazy.

Marcela, look at me.

Do you know if Armando owns a gun?

-Hey. -Huh?

Why do you have a gun?

I don't know. I've had it for a long time.

I used to practice at the firing range with my friends.

Why don't you get rid of it? I'm scared of guns.

-To better protect you with. -Really?

Who will you protect me from?

-A big bad wolf. -Really?

Does he or does he not?

If he does, we need to tell the police.

No. Armando, doesn't own a gun.

You'll have to excuse me,

but I think Mr. Armando did make good on his promise.

No, no.

I don't think he'd shoot anyone.

What about the time they started fighting with each other?

-No, no... -What do you think, Chofis?

Why wouldn't he? He was driving him crazy.

He probably got sick of dealing with him

and boom, boom, boom!

-Yeah, take that and that! -Hey!

What are you talking about, Sofia?

Oh...

-About... -Yes?

About that show.

That Telemundo series... the one at 9/8 CT.

Would you like something to drink, sir?

No, I don't want anything.

Oh, he did it.

He probably thought you were going to poison him.

Now I'm really going to get fired.

No, and you were laughing too.

-Armando... -Betty.

I'm assuming you know what happened to Daniel.

I want you to know that I had nothing to do with that.

You don't have to explain.

I know perfectly well that you would never do anything like that.

I'm actually here

to talk about Hugo's behavior

following Fabio's actions.

Yes, I feel sorry for him.

That guy's a criminal and what he did is unforgivable.

I agree.

He lied to him,

made him think he loved him for his own personal interests.

I tried talking to Mr. Hugo,

but he wouldn't listen

or let me talk to him.

I think he'd be more receptive

-if you talked to him. -Betty, I...

-I... -It's very important for him

to get better and to get back to work

so we can deliver the next collection.

Yes, I understand. I promise I'll talk to him.

Okay. Thanks.

I hope Mr. Daniel gets better. Excuse me.

Excuse me. Is the casting here?

I'm new here and I don't know anyone.

Hugo, this is Fabio.

He's replacing the Canadian model who couldn't make it.

The agency sent him.

I can't believe it. You're Hugo Lombardi!

I'm a huge fan. I love your work.

Could I take a picture with you?

Mr. Huguito? Do you like my coat?

Look at this. I feel so good!

Huguito, I'm talking to you.

Good. You're back.

Don't you like this jacket? It's beautiful, isn't it?

My lovebug bought it for me.

I love him. Plus, I feel like a pop star.

Can't you smell that? Smell.

-You want the truth? -Yes. It smells brand new.

You look like a skank in that outfit!

All you're missing is your pimp!

But I'm not a skank.

I'm sorry but, If dressing poorly were a crime,

you'd be on death row.

What a horrible and tacky wardrobe!

Look at yourself! You have absolutely no taste.

-You're burning my retinas! -I have taste.

The horror! Ugly people should die.

What's going on here?

Inesita, he's telling me horrible things.

Not as horrible as those eyelashes of yours,

and those eyebrows, and your hands, and legs.

Both your legs are horrible!

I should call Fabio so he can calm you down.

What did you say? Give me those scissors.

-What did you say? -Nothing.

Say that name again. I dare you.

Hugo, calm down.

-No! -Calm down.

It's okay.

There, there. Calm down.

Here I am. Why would you call me here?

What's she doing here?

So you remember me, Mr. Montes.

How could I forget?

I lost everything in my stupid divorce because of you.

What's this about?

I'm here on behalf of your business partners,

Mr. Charly Godines and Mrs. Sofia Pena.

Sign this document and you'll transfer

your part of the company to my clients.

You'd also be giving up your right to all future profits

and any claims in the future.

And if I don't feel like signing?

You said you didn't care about this lousy company,

that we could have it.

What? You're going to put up a fight

even after you stole our savings, you thief?

You're the only thief here!

-Sir, I need you to calm down. -You're the leech!

Gentlemen! There's no reason to argue.

That's why I'm here.

Allow me to explain what's going on here, sir,

because you don't seem to understand.

If you don't sign this document,

my clients will take you to court for theft of funds.

I promise you the money you just won

will be spent on lawyers and on paying back my clients.

We'll take you to court and you'll lose again.

My advice? Sign the papers

and save us the time, the energy, and money of a trial.

I want you to be honest.

Did you shoot, Daniel?

Seriously, Marcela. How can you think that?

What kind of person do you think I am?

The kind who threatens to kill my brother one day

and the next just happens to be at the place where he was shot.

Yeah, that was a coincidence. I would never hurt anyone.

You've changed.

You've been acting strange lately.

Yes, maybe I've been acting like a fool

and I've made lots of mistakes,

but I'm not a killer.

Then why were you there? Why did you go to him?

I went to buy him out.

That's when he was shot and I tried to help him.

Marcela, look at me. You know me very well.

You know I'd never do anything like this.

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

I don't know what's going on with me.

We're all very nervous because of the situation.

Don't worry.

I was just coming to tell you that Hugo's working

on the new collection with the girls from the squad.

You couldn't have knocked?

You've just saved yourself a lot of headaches.

We'll talk soon, Mr. Godines.

Hey, hey.

You probably think you've won, right?

You're wrong. You haven't won.

I'm gifting you this company

on account of our old friendship, traitor.

You can have my old wife too, by the way.

What are you laughing about?

She was mine before she was ever yours.

But don't pretend to get everything.

Forget about my kids.

They're not a part of any contract.

They are my kids.

I would never try to take your kids from you.

Now, you might not like it,

but we're going to have to share the kids,

because I'm going to be their stepfather, officially.

-What? -Before the year is over,

I'm going to marry the mother of your children.

I'm just telling you so it doesn't come as a surprise.

I know the only reason you're upset is because you're jealous.

Me? Jealous?

Jealous of you for being with that old betraying hag?

Sure, insult her, call her old, compare her to Jenny.

We both know Jenny might be hot,

but after the accident,

you realized you gave up the better woman.

Isn't that right?

What you threw away like an idiot,

I had the good fortune of picking up.

Thanks, buddy. I'll remain eternally grateful.

Lock the door on your way out.

Please wait outside.

You got lucky.

A shot like that is usually deadly.

Oh, no!

Thank God this time it was different.

Sir, do you have any enemies

or know anyone capable of doing something like this?

My only enemy is Armando Mendoza.

Yes, we interviewed Mr. Mendoza at the scene,

but I believe he's your former brother-in-law.

That's right.

All the more reason to hate me, right?

Daniel, tell him the truth.

Detective, yesterday he threatened to kill my brother

in front of everybody at our company.

Is that true?

Yes, I wanted to get a restraining order against him

but my sister opposed.

So you're insinuating it was he who shot you?

Of course.

When we finished talking, I turned around

and and a few seconds later, I was shot.

It had to have been him. Who else?

Just as we planned.

Who's the yummiest manly man in the universe?

Who else?

This very man standing in front of you.

Such a cute couple.

Drop it, Mariana.

Aren't you embarrassed of acting a fool in front of everyone?

Why don't you handle your boss' mail?

You're here to work, aren't you?

Someone needs to learn some manners.

Let me. That's why you've got me.

Oh, babe. You really are a gentleman.

Unlike others, who aren't gracious in defeat.

Exactly what did I lose? This poor, skinny handyman?

Big whoop!

Babe, I'm going to leave this

on my boss' desk. Be right back.

Okay, honey.

Kisses.

Aura Maria, if you don't mind,

you shouldn't be rude to Mariana,

especially when we know Mariana is a decent and good friend.

Good friend?

She's a treacherous man stealer!

You really think that? That I'm your man?

No.

You've never been my man and you never will be.

Go be with Mariana.

You two are terrible people.

You're bad people and the worst friends ever!

Aura Maria, don't be sad.

Just one tear of yours is enough to melt my heart.

Between Mariana and I...

Giovanny Castaneda!

Come here immediately.

What are you doing?

Nothing. It's just that...

She's suffering. Don't you see?

Let her suffer.

Have you forgotten how much you've suffered for her?

Don't go all soft on me.

Show the slightest hint of mercy

and you'll lose everything you've work so hard for,

so don't be a dummy.

-But... -No buts!

Grab my hand and look at me and only me.

-Got it? Good. -Yeah.

My life is perfect. Everything is fine. I have lots of friends.

Bye.

Yes?

Mr. Armando, someone's here to see you.

I don't have anything scheduled for today and I'm busy.

-It's important. -Who is it?

Excuse me.

Good afternoon, Mr. Mendoza.

What are you doing here?

We're here for you.

We need you to come with us to the station.

But I already gave my statement this morning.

What else can I explain?

You're a person of interest in this case

and we need your cooperation.

What's wrong, Mr. Mendoza?

Did you change your mind?

You said you were willing to help us.

Yes, of course, but what more can I say?

You were the last person to speak to Mr. Valencia

before he was shot.

Any information you can give us is imperative.

The first few hours are crucial.

Will you come with us?

Yes, of course.

Am I being arrested?

Of course not.

Okay.

Can I call my attorney? It's my right.

Go ahead.

Girl.

-Girl, girl. -Huh.

Something exciting is going on outside.

-What? -You see...

The police are here. It's some detective.

I'm not sure, but I bet they brought guns and an army.

-They're here for Mr. Armando. -No!

What's going on? Calm down.

I don't know! Maybe Mr. Daniel kicked the bucket

and they think Mr. Armando is the murderer

so they're here for him.

Sofia, that's not exciting. It's disturbing.

Don't say Mr. Armando is guilty again

because that's not true! Okay?

I mean, it's disturbing, but excitingly disturbing, right?

-No! -Good luck!

Armando, what's going on?

Everything is fine. I'm helping the police.

They want to find the person who attacked Daniel.

-You didn't do it, though. -No.

-No. -Betty.

Please let my parents know.

Okay.

Armando is no murderer, Daniel.

Roberto, think about it.

He threatened my life the day before

and since I denied to sell him my part of the company,

he kept his word.

Armando would never go unhinged like that.

Stop burying your heads in the sand

and stop denying the obvious.

Armando would do any crazy thing for the company.

Just a minute.

Hello?

What?

Yes, that's fine. Thank you.

Armando was just arrested.

It's not here!

-What are you looking for? -The gun!

-The gun? -Armando's gun isn't here.

I thought he didn't have one.

Okay, I lied.

It's not here!

So he really did shoot Daniel.

I'll bet that's the murder weapon.

We have to tell the police

or we'll be labeled his accomplices.

I hate this entry-level employee computer!

Hi, Patri, how are you?

How am I?

I'm better than some who have no shame.

I beg your pardon?

You're not following me?

-No. -Don't you know what you did?

Patricia, what are you talking about?

I'm talking about what you did with Betty!

And what did I allegedly do to Betty?

What did you do? You made her pretty!

Isn't that bad enough?

And now she believes it.

Patricia.

I don't talk to traitors.

Unless, of course,

you have a rich friend you want to introduce me to.

Okay, then we have nothing to talk about.

If you were looking for your new best friend,

she's in her office.

Excuse me.

What just happened means that the investigation

is focusing on Armando.

He's being detained to keep him from escaping.

That's ridiculous.

Armando wouldn't do something that stupid,

especially not at a park in broad daylight.

You know Daniel Valencia. He must have other enemies.

Who would want to hurt him?

Daniel has hurt a lot of people.

Add to that all the layoffs and the companies he shut down.

It was stupid of Armando to publicly threaten him.

This seems like a setup,

like they're trying to implicate him.

There must be someone close to Daniel,

someone who knows about his businesses, his life,

someone who can help us clear everything up.

Who?

Mata.

I doubt that coward will talk, though.

Why not give the police that information so they can find him.

Gregorio Mata has to testify.

The sultana of your heart needs a minute.

Got one?

I'm always available for the holder of this heart.

How can I help you?

Taking some boxes up for the printer.

-On one condition. -What?

First you have to give me

-a wildly passionate kiss. -Why?

I want people to know I'm with a Hugo Lombardi model.

Shut up!

-All right, fine. -Let's go.

Hold the door!

Out of my way!

How's your back?

You know I always have Tiger balm on me.

Go, go, go.

Excuse me, gentleman.

Of course, Margarita.

I'm here for whatever you may need.

I'm really sorry about what happened.

Daniel is going to be okay.

Thank God.

I'm going to talk to him so he'll change his statement.

No, Betty, you can't talk to Daniel.

That's not your place.

Your place is here. Your commitment is to V&M, period.

If there's anyone you need to speak to, it's Hugo.

No!

Mr. Hugo hates me.

He just doesn't like me.

Plus, he's very depressed right now.

When you feel that way, and I speak from experience,

you don't want to talk to anyone.

Only people you trust.

Like I trust you.

You're right.

We need someone Hugo will want to listen to.

Someone he trusts and respects a lot.

That's going to be tough.

Hugo hardly respects anyone.

He respects this person. Trust me.

I know he admires him.

Call a meeting with Hugo tomorrow in the studio.

I'll take care of the rest.

Okay.

Uggh.

-Hi, Catalina. -Malu.

How are you? Nice to see you.

Likewise.

Hi, Marcela.

Marcela.

Forgive her. We're a little upset about Daniel.

Yes, I heard about the attack.

I also heard he's going to be okay, thank God.

Your sister's problem with me has nothing to do

with your brother, though.

Can we talk?

I have nothing to talk about with you.

Catalina, you've known us much longer than you've known that woman.

You not only gave her a job after everything she did to us,

you also transformed her into that thing she is now.

Marcela, please.

Betty isn't your enemy.

She was just as much of a victim as you were of that whole ploy.

Please! Don't compare her to me.

Beatriz is no victim.

She's a shameless, manipulative hypocrite.

See you in my office.

Well... I don't know what's wrong with her.

-I'm sorry. -Don't worry.

Care to explain what that scene you made outside was?

You behaved like a rude, spoiled brat with a friend of the family.

Well, Catalina took Beatriz's side.

She can take whoever's side she wants!

Just what I needed.

Now you're taking Beatriz's side too.

No!

I'm always going to be on your side and Daniel's

because we're family,

but I also need to tell you

that Beatriz isn't the hypocrite you think she is.

Plus, you have to admit that she's brilliant.

-Shut up! -No!

-Shut up! -I won't shut up.

Your jealousy is blinding you and you're losing perspective.

Sis, if you have to work with Beatriz for six months,

why don't you make your life

and the lives of everyone around you easier?

-Sis? -Huh?

Breathe, please. Calm down.

Inhale...

Exhale.

Feeling better?

Okay.

I'm going to the hospital to see Daniel.

Ines. You must know what's going on with Hugo.

That show he put on in front of us was a cry of frustration.

Tell us, tell us.

No. Listen, girls.

Hugo is very discrete.

He respects everyone's private lives

and asks that everyone else do the same.

Oh, Inesita.

Hugo isn't exactly the most respectful person.

Please tell us what happened!

I can't. It would be wrong.

We're going to have to take you to trial and impose a sentence.

I was taken to Squad court

for not sharing info. Isn't that right?

Isn't that right? -Yes, but it's not the same.

Ines does want to tell us, but she can't.

Just look at her... Look at her face.

She's drowning in a sea of doubts and frustration.

-Isn't that right? -Inesita.

Inesita, we're gossip sisters.

Whatever you say won't leave this room because...

Gossip is sacred.

Okay, fine, but this cannot leave this table.

It's very, very serious.

Okay, here it goes.

Romina and Fabio aren't siblings.

What?

-They're married. -What!

No way! Sis!

If you're going to drop a bomb like this,

give me a minute first. I'm developing diabetes over here.

Hold on. That's not all.

Okay. Hugo found out that her and Fabio ran off together

after they emptied his bank account.

Mother of...

So... you didn't see the shooter.

No, I've already told you several times.

I didn't see anything!

My only concern was helping Daniel.

Okay.

Wait for me here, please.

-Counsel, please. -Thanks.

-Armando, how are you? -Esteban.

I'm so tired. This is a nightmare that keeps repeating itself.

This detective won't stop asking the same thing.

They're testing the veracity of your testimony.

Your parents say hi. They wouldn't let them in.

What? I thought I wasn't arrested.

No, but those are the rules.

I heard they tested your hands for gunpowder residue.

The results came back negative. That's good for us.

They have nothing against you,

only the fact that you were the last person

who spoke to the victim.

And the death threat I made,

-which was pretty serious. -Listen.

We're going to redirect the investigation.

We gave Gregorio Matas' information to the police.

Where did you get it?

Ricardo and I agreed that it was important

for the authorities to question that man.

Yeah. That's true.

After all, he's Daniel Valencia's accomplice

in all his operations.

I'm sure Mr. Mata will have a lot to say.

Oh, Mr. Gregory!

Long time no see. How's everything?

What's that? Tar?

No, it's paint.

Did you see who just passed by?

Mr. Gregorio Mata himself just came out of the elevator.

Yeah, right!

Mr. Mata is a swanky dude.

He's always wearing fancy suits.

That guy was a bum.

He looked just like him.

Oh, Giovas. Stop sniffing paint.

-Esteban. -Hey, hey, hey.

You're unbelievable.

Don't you get tired of bothering us?

What are you doing here, Beatriz?

I'm sorry, I just wanted to see if everything was okay

-or if I could help. -Help?

Are you a defense attorney?

No, but if you need anything else, I'm...

This is a family matter. You have no business here.

Okay. Sorry, I...

Betty, please. Thank you very much for coming,

but right now I think it's best for you

to only worry about the company until we resolve this.

-Okay. -Thank you.

Excuse me, folks.

Here's the search warrant for Mr. Mendoza's home.

Which one of you will come with me to carry it out?

What do you mean Armando has a gun?

Yes, I came to get it, but it was gone.

He used to practice at a range a long time ago.

So Mr. Mendoza goes to a shooting range,

which means he has great aim.

Don't suggest what you're thinking.

My son, like many other kids, practices target shooting.

That doesn't make him a murderer.

Ma'am, lots of other kids

aren't in these types of situations.

So does Mr. Mendoza know how to handle a gun or not?

That smells delicious. What is it?

Julia, you can't eat that.

You're on a special diet for your heart. We don't want you keeling over.

Nicolas is bringing a guest and asked me to cook for them.

Okay, fine.

We'll make this sacrifice for him.

No, we wont. No sacrifices here.

You and I are still on a diet.

This is for them only.

Just a little, woman. They won't notice.

Sir.

There are some gentlemen here with a search warrant

for Mr. Armando and since this is his office now,

here they are.

Isn't Armando being questioned?

-This isn't necessary. -I brought the judge's order.

I'll ask you not to get in the way of our work.

Now what do you want?

What do I want?

Can I at least come in or did your mom ban me?

We're not going with you.

I didn't come for you.

Do you think I'm going to take you by force?

I'm not the villain here. I'm not an ogre or a wolf.

Your mother is brainwashing you.

Or is it that traitor Charly?

What is "brain washing"?

Son...

Yeah, yeah.

Actually, open a little more.

Look at what I brought you.

A professional soccer ball.

And wait! Look at what else I brought you.

The latest soccer shoes out.

You'll have the best ones on the whole team!

Go try them on.

-Do you like them? Go. -Thanks.

Go try them on! They're cool, huh?

Yes!

So...

Who's watching you guys?

Uncle Charley went to pick up some food.

I knew it! I just knew it!

You two are witnesses of this child abuse.

This is negligence!

The kids are alone.

They've been abandoned by their terrible mother, Sofia Pena,

and that lascivious bastard...

Speak of the devil! My wife's lover.

What's all this about? Why are these men here?

Are you or are you not witnesses to this child abuse?

We're witnesses to the children being left alone.

-Right, Frank? -That's right, Peter.

The children were all alone.

But I only went to the corner store. I was gone ten minutes.

Without any parental supervision,

a child could die in 30 seconds.

Right.

Mr. Montes, this is parental negligence.

That's enough, Efrain!

Why are you always messing with us? I'm sick of your nonsense already.

What the hell is your problem?

-Hey, hey! -What the hell is wrong with you!

-Did you hear him? -Calm down.

Did you hear him? Did you hear that?

That's domestic violence against me!

A poor disabled man who can't even defend himself.

Did you hear the threatening tone he used?

That's not just now. This man hates me.

He's been jealous of me his entire life.

Since always.

Who knows if he was the one who pushed me down the sewer

to hurt me or to kill me?

I'm sick of your nonsense!

Get out of here right now!

You and these instigators! Go on! Out!

-Go! -Such aggressiveness.

Your actions will have consequences.

-Right, Frank? -Consequences indeed, Peter.

Of course.

The three of us will make sure of it.

Wait for me, guys. I'm leaving too.

Bye, kids!

Wait for me.

You're wasting your time. You won't find anything.

Armando is innocent. You should investigate other suspects.

Everyone has a job to do, Mr. Calderon.

Tell me, is Mr. Mendoza's car here in the building?

Couldn't tell you. I'm not his driver. I guess so.

Could you take us to the parking lot?

You're not thinking of searching that too.

Okay. Follow me.

It smells so good, Patri, like red chili.

Take a whiff.

What are we doing here? This is Betty's house. Gross.

Patri, don't say anything.

Let yourself be transported

to a world where time doesn't exist. Smell.

Patri...

Get ready because tonight...

will be in your memory forever.

Forever my foot!

You're crazy if you believe that I'm staying in this cave.

Patricia?

-What's going on? -Hi!

I want to ask what you're doing here,

but, honestly, I'm afraid to ask.

I had no idea we were coming here.

Betty, I'll be honest.

I'll be honest.

I asked Mrs. Juli to make me one of her best dishes.

I want Patri to try some of the best food in the world.

I hope it's not a problem.

I don't know. You'll have to ask Patricia that.

She might prefer to be at a super fancy restaurant

in Manhattan. Right?

Please. I adore your mother's cooking,

especially her tamales.

They're the best.

In the end, what matters most to me

is spending quality time with Nico.

Nicolas, my boss.

-Nico, you're here! -Hello, Miss Juli.

Is this your guest?

-Correct. -Yes!

It's great to see you again, ma'am.

Go set the table. It's dinnertime.

We'll be right back.

What smells so delicious?

I made several things,

but we're going to start with tripe.

The cow's tripe?

The tripe where it stores the grass it eats?

Yes, tripe.

Yummy!

Here I am.

I'm not afraid of you. I'm right here.

You shouldn't be afraid of me.

Not if you have no reason to be.

Too much talking. Keep it short.

Why'd you call me over here?

To find out what your problem is.

Don't you have everything you've ever wanted?

You have your tramp, your money, and your free time.

Why are you bothering us? What do you want from me?

From you? Nothing.

I don't need anything from you because the last things

I need in my life are bitter, hysterical women.

I'm so happy with my doll, my love bug.

She actually satisfies me

and makes me happy in the morning, in the afternoon,

and then in the evening.

Good for you.

If you're so insanely happy,

why are you still making my life hell?

The only things I want from you are my children.

Oh, please.

For your information...

Just to keep you updated,

Sofia, I'm going to take them from you.

Marce? It's me.

No, everything is the same. He's still asleep.

No, don't worry. I'm going to stay here a little longer.

I'm just going to get some coffee and water and I'll be back, okay?

Kisses, bye.

Detective, I'm tired of being here.

I want to go home.

I've helped you with everything you've asked.

I'm sorry, Mr. Mendoza,

but you'll have to get used to being here.

We found the gun Mr. Valencia was shot with in your car.

What are you saying?

You're officially under arrest

for the attempted murder of Mr. Daniel Valencia.
