Original subtitles

-I'm going to call her. -No, don't do it!

-You can't stop me! -Yes, I can!

You're going to keep hurting her!

I love her, Nicolas!

It was nice to realize something I didn't want to realize, dude.

He does love you.

Why lie? He does.

Armando loves you.

I'm the only idiot here.

I never valued the woman I had by my side.

Well, I'm right here.

IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

I don't want you at V&M.

Relax, I'm not going to your office.

I'm going to mine.

I've decided to move my headquarters here.

What's wrong, Betty?

Don't you like that I rented this office?

I'm just surprised.

And I'm sure a lot of people at V&M will be surprised too.

Does Armando's opinion matter that much to you?

Would you look at that?

It's the man who accused me of trying to kill him.

Not now, Armando.

If you have something to say, say it to my face.

No.

I have nothing to say to you,

and stop plotting against me.

I've already spoken to Roberto.

I know you told him about the company in India.

Do you want me to sue you, Armando? You don't know anything.

You're going down.

You're going to pay for all the harm you've caused.

How does it feel to know that your accomplice wants you dead?

I'm not playing your game. You don't know anything.

And I'm warning you.

You'd better not hurt my sister or you'll regret it.

Unfortunately, I can't change Marcela's feelings,

but I won't let you destroy her.

You know that I always end up getting what I want.

Not this time.

You're not getting anything!

Thanks for this magic moment, chicken legs.

Of the three chances you had, this was the third.

I can tell your cello concert was super intense.

And #boringlikePatricia is a hit.

For your information, I wasn't asleep.

-Really? -No, my eyes were closed

because I was enjoying a heavenly concert.

I was in a mystical state,

a state you'll never understand

because you'll never have the money

to get into an event like that one.

Neither do you.

You were invited.

How about that, bottle blonde?

Hi!

What's going on?

Just here.

Sorry, has Betty asked about me?

No, everything's fine.

Are you sick, Nico?

Yes.

Patri, I've got that allergy that's going around,

a pollen allergy.

Oh, Patri.

What are you wearing?

A new perfume!

Do you like it?

Hi, Giovis.

What's up?

I heard you had a rough night.

Yes, that's right.

Bertha told me.

Yes, I had to use my skills to defend Mr. Mendoza.

I only hope there were no unfortunate injuries.

I'd hate to have a corpse on my list or my conscience.

If punches were flying,

I'm sure you were the first to take off running.

I'm kidding.

Allow me to say something, my dearest front desk friend.

I'm not in the mood to get into it with you today,

so if you want to believe me, great.

Otherwise, I don't owe you any explanations.

Just like I won't ask who came to pick you up yesterday.

I bought you this soup because I think it'll help

with your hangover.

-For me? -Yes, with love.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

If you'll allow me,

I can recommend the perfect wine pairing for what you ordered.

No, Mr. Daniel.

Don't even bother. I don't drink.

If you'd like, feel free to drink alone.

No need to get defensive, Beatriz.

We're simply two friends having lunch together.

-Friends? -Yes.

No.

No, Mr. Daniel. We're never going to be friends.

As far as I know, you don't like me,

-so I'm not sure why I'm here. -No, that was before,

but everything is completely different

with this new woman who's reinvented herself.

That's admirable, Beatriz. Congratulations.

You know something?

Has anyone told you that your attractiveness is powerful

and different?

You think so?

Yes.

You're the kind of woman I'd date seriously.

I like you, Beatriz.

Stop the elevator! I'm going up.

You.

What are you doing here?

You don't understand, do you?

V&M is my company.

I haven't quit yet.

-Hugo... -I have some designs here

that will change the course of universal fashion.

You wish you were like Hugo the divine.

"Women under construction."

What you've always had under construction

are your intelligence, good taste, and creativity.

I'm actually going to create beautiful designs

that won't be on a billboard, inspiring pity.

I'm actually a good designer, so please get out of here.

Shoo! Beat it!

I can't. We're in an elevator.

Then leave through the top like in the movies.

I'm warning you.

I won't let you set one foot in V&M.

You're not passing the front desk.

I'm not going to V&M.

I'm going to my office.

We work in the same building now.

How?

I'm not trying to keep your job, Hugo.

I own my own company.

My name is known all over the world.

Let's see if you can ever accomplish the same.

What's wrong?

Do I make you nervous?

No.

I'm just disgusted at how low you'll stoop for money.

What did you just say?

You heard me.

I know you invited me here and are telling me all this

because you need money.

You want your monthly shareholders' check,

and you want to sell your part of V&M.

Don't you dare disrespect me. Who do you think you are?

You're kind of bipolar, aren't you?

A second ago you were telling me I'm an attractive, unique,

and powerful woman.

I'll answer you, though.

There's no money for the shareholders.

You can't sell your part of the company either

because the company is still mine.

It's a shame our lunch was so short.

Don't worry. Order whatever you want.

I left my tab open.

Bye.

Aura Maria, please let Mr. Ricardo know

that I found Rosaura and that I'll be in Marcela's office.

Okay.

Who is Mrs. Rosaura?

Don't ask questions.

Help me with what I asked.

Yes.

Would you like coffee?

Tea? Water?

Yes, thank you.

Joaquin is here.

That man wants to keep this company.

That genetically modified worm is getting revenge.

He wants to steal my job.

Marce, don't let him.

Huguito, I think you're mistaken.

No, I'm not mistaken.

She's ugly.

And I'm sorry, but ugly people can't be good.

I wonder how much that man spent on reconstructive surgeries

to make her look moderately acceptable.

Why don't you calm down, Hugo?

Beatriz didn't say anything about replacing you.

In fact, she's waiting for your designs.

So she can give them to her lover!

They're accomplices

and I won't allow my designs to get stolen again.

Neither will I. They're your designs.

Relax already!

Joaquin is only here for Beatriz. That's it.

No, no, no.

I don't buy that.

Joaquin may be whatever you want,

but he doesn't have such bad taste.

If that's true,

then why is his company in this same building?

What?

Joaquin's offices are here?

-Didn't you know? -No.

V&M and his company are separated by a few steps.

Mr. Ricardo.

If my mom doesn't turn up in an hour, I'm suing you!

Not right now. I'm busy.

I just wanted to tell you that Ms. Maria Lucia

is in Ms. Marcela's office

-with Mrs. Rosaura. -What?

-Why didn't you say so before? -I tried and...

Who would've thought that a cello concert

could sound so much like a fight between street cats.

Don't make that face. It was horrible, dreadful!

I almost fell asleep.

Well, I did fall asleep, but I almost snored.

Horrible.

You're awfully chipper.

What's up with you?

That face can only mean one thing.

Who is he? What's his name?

Does he have brothers? Yes?

Introduce me. Please, I beg you.

Last night was the night.

I made love like never before.

With who?

-Armando. -No.

No, Marcela.

How could you? Are you serious?

There are so many men in the world, and you settled for the same mistake.

Because I'm in love with him.

And this time I'm sure he feels the same way.

Are you getting revenge?

No way, I just told you I love him.

I want to be with him forever.

Sorry, Marce, but that's very hard to comprehend

after all the things Armando's done to you.

As if you were ugly.

Well, I guess it's trendy to be ugly now.

Of course not.

The troll was a mistake.

Armando came to his senses.

Yes, and we're finally back together... forever.

Let's go.

I'm going.

Mom, you shouldn't have run off like that. I was very worried.

You're so handsome.

But I don't want to take any more pills.

Okay, no more pills.

Where did you find her? How'd you recognize her?

She was wandering near the hospital she's staying at.

I recognized her because I'd seen a picture of her

in your apartment.

You're pretty too.

You're a couple, aren't you?

Are you in love?

That's precisely why I haven't had time to finish it.

It's like the universe is conspiring against me.

As soon as your dress is finished, though,

you'll be playing with fire.

I love you! The dress is amazing!

I love it.

You outdid yourself, as always.

It's okay if it isn't finished.

Are you kidding me? I'm going to finish it.

You are my muse, my Gaby Espino.

That last series of yours...

-You saw it? -Did I see it?

My Lombardi girls knew that when 8:30 came around,

-I had to rush home to watch. -Wasn't I so sexy in it?

-And Jason Day. -Isn't he a stud?

I wish he were Jason Gay and that I were you!

Whenever Margarita Rosa de Francisco comes to my shop

she leaves everything smelling so good.

She's hot.

And that Perico girl won't stop talking.

Yeah, she's great.

But that scene of yours, when you tell your son

that you're going out to get him milk...

Who'd have thought you'd go looking in the pool?

Are you serious? You're intense.

I wish I'd been you in those scenes with Jason.

Of course!

He's gorgeous.

I had lots of fun on that project,

and it was so hot on location during the day,

-but at night... -Where? The coffee region?

Yeah, but at night it's freezing.

-The pool was ice cold. -You looked beautiful.

Thank you.

-This red suits you. -You outdid yourself.

I'm here.

What was it you had to discuss in person?

Look, drop your suit

and then we'll talk about whatever you want.

Why do you want to take Sofia's kids from her?

Why are you determined to hurt her?

Why?

They're my kids too, Charly!

I have every right to have them.

But you don't have kids, so what would you know about that?

Actually, there's a lot you don't know.

What are you talking about?

I warned you, but you refused to listen.

Okay, are you ready?

Here goes.

Sofia came to see me, and it's not the first time.

She wants me to leave Jenny so we can get back together.

Sofia's the same loser she's always been.

Stop insulting Sofia!

Efrain, are you okay?

Betty, what a surprise.

Yes. Hi.

I have something to tell you.

I'm not the same dummy I used to be.

I've grown and become aware of a lot of things,

one of them being that you're an amazing man.

The best I've ever known.

You're honest, generous, affectionate,

and also very handsome.

Thanks, Betty.

-To what do I owe the...? -Let me finish.

I also realized I've been silly for not seeing

everything you've done for me.

Everything you're doing to win me over is...

You're incredible.

I don't know what to tell you. I'm speechless.

You don't have to say anything.

Just come closer.

If I do, something will happen.

I'm telling you right now that I want to be with you.

I want to take a chance on you.

You don't know how happy you're making me.

That was good, wasn't it?

Yes, very.

So what did I do to deserve this?

Nothing. Just be you.

Are you serious about giving this a chance?

Yes, I mean it.

I want to give things a try with you.

If you want to, that is.

You don't know how happy you've made me.

Am I interrupting?

Yes. Very much so.

What do you want?

Efrain, can you hear me?

Are you okay?

Was that your best shot?

Oh, please. It didn't hurt.

I don't feel anything.

I don't feel anything. I can't feel my face.

We shouldn't...

I'm sorry, but we shouldn't be fighting.

That won't get us anywhere.

Yeah, but if you'd...

If you'd...

Why do I have a lisp?

You knocked a tooth out.

You knocked a tooth out!

I couldn't have knocked your tooth out.

It was probably already loose.

Loose, idiot?

I'm not a shark that has loose teeth!

Where's my tooth?

Where is it?

You'll be sorry, Charly. You'll regret this.

Look where it is.

Look at my tooth, you bastard!

You could've cracked my skull open!

It's your fault!

Why'd you insult Sofia without considering the consequences?

Instead, you should let this be a lesson to you

so you'll stop talking crap.

Listen carefully.

I got a quarter million from the city after my accident.

Do you know what this will cost you?

You'll be ruined!

This is an act of terrorism is what it is!

I warned you!

Nobody knocks out Efrain Montes' tooth!

Nobody!

Terrorist!

You knocked my tooth out!

You got married.

No. No, ma'am. Ricardo and I...

We're just dating, Mom.

She's my girlfriend, Maria Lucia Valencia.

Who are you?

Eduardo!

No, Mom.

I'm Ricardo.

Your son.

Eduardo, we have to talk to Mom

and invite her to the wedding.

Eduardo, are you there?

But didn't your father...?

Mom, you need to rest. You've had a long day.

I'll take you home.

Where are we, Eduardo?

Where's little Ricardo?

Where's Mom?

Let go of me!

Where are you taking me?

Who are all of you?

Don't touch me! I don't know you!

Hey, what's going on with that lady?

Is she sick or something?

It seems like she's a little crazy, right?

Don't say that, Bertha.

That's Ricardo's mother.

What?

The wealthy have problems too.

So what if she's Ricardo's mom?

Hey, Ricardo's mom isn't crazy, okay?

-Then? -So what's her problem?

I can't tell you.

No, girl. Nuh-uh.

If you've got deets, you can't keep them to yourself.

-Spill. What's her deal? -No, no.

I'll handle this, Chofis.

Sandra's right.

-You can't tell us, right? -No.

You can't, can you?

But you can write it down. Give me a second.

You're so smart.

There you go. Write it down.

Go on!

Discreetly, if you don't mind.

Alzheimer's?

Bertha!

Wow!

Poor woman. What a terrible illness.

You opened this office just to mess with me, didn't you?

He thinks everything revolves around him.

No, Armando.

I'm here because I need a place to work and to be near Betty,

which is the only thing that matters about this place.

What are you doing here? Are you following me?

No, I came to find you

because your company upstairs needs you.

My company?

No. It's yours.

So who's looking for me?

Hugo.

He finished the new collection and wants to show you the designs.

Hugo?

That's not true.

We both know Hugo can't stand me.

If it were up to him, he wouldn't show me any of his designs.

But if you're so desperate to see them,

why don't you go take a gander with your girlfriend, Marcela?

Go together.

I'll see you when I get there.

You're really not coming?

No, she's staying. She'll go when she feels like it.

Stay out of it. And let her go.

Armando, please leave.

Yeah, leave.

She told you, and now I'm telling you.

-Or should I call security? -No, Joaquin.

He was just leaving.

Poor bastard.

He's furious.

What's worse, he made a fool of himself just for you.

Oh well. What can we do?

Yeah.

What I don't get is why you're still working with that lunatic

and all those people who treat you so poorly

and who obviously don't care about you.

I think I got used to it.

Besides, it's not for much longer.

I'm still at V&M because I made a promise

to Mr. Roberto and to my father.

But as soon as I fix their financial problems

and restore the company to what it was,

that's when I'll be free to decide what to do with my life.

Well, the important thing is that you chose me,

and that makes me happy.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Catalina's bringing champagne to make a small toast

to inaugurate my new office.

Bring your friends from the squad. I like them.

Sure.

They like to drink, so I'm sure they'll be thrilled.

I have to warn you, though.

Whenever we're all together...

we can get pretty rowdy.

That's fine.

All the same, I don't think we'll be there long.

I thought maybe the two of us could go someplace special.

Special? What do you mean?

I don't know, something fun.

None of this adds up.

You are a mafiosa and a gangster.

How many victims like me do you need

until you're calm and relaxed?

-You know what? -What?

Don't talk to me like that,

you stupid tramp with bad extensions.

You and I are not family, thank God.

I don't have to put up with your delusions of grandeur.

These are natural, and yes, if we were family,

I'd jump in front of a train.

Yeah, very funny.

You ordered that done to my lovebug.

-What? -Your little boyfriend.

-What about him? -He hit him.

What are you talking about?

You must be crazy.

What are you saying?

I'm talking about this picture.

Check it out.

That's what you did to him.

You knocked out my lovebug's tooth.

You sent that little boyfriend of yours to do this.

What?

Did you keep the tooth?

So you can put it under your pillow for the Tooth Fairy.

You're so funny.

This picture's all over social media.

Don't you worry, though.

I've got the best lawyer in Manhattan,

and you'll pay for this.

How do you like that?

Laugh it up while you can.

Really?

You're getting a call.

Lovebug.

Yes, I received the picture.

I'm so furious I could cry.

Lovebug, text me or something

because I can't understand you with your teeth like that.

Yes. Okay.

Kisses.

Yeah, it's so funny.

-Oh, girl. -What?

I'm going to have to talk to Charly.

He knocked Efrain's tooth out.

It must've been serious.

I'm so sorry, ma'am.

My father had an emergency and I have to go to the hospital.

Yeah, I understand.

I hope everything works out.

Tommy, sweetie.

Listen carefully.

Nobody can see or hear you, so be nice and quiet so that...

So that you don't get fired.

Exactly.

If you want anything, ask me now.

You won't be able to leave later.

Just water for Lolita.

Her.

Tommy, where did you get a tarantula?

It's for science class.

We couldn't leave it at school

and the teacher asked if anyone could take it home,

so I volunteered.

You?

Hey, look who we have here! It's Tommy!

You're so big.

What are you eating for breakfast?

You're tall enough to join the NBA!

I'm almost as tall as you.

Let's compare.

All right, that's enough.

This is serious.

What's up?

If you see Mr. Smith around, can you message me?

Last time he saw him, he said that was my last chance.

Why don't we do something else if you think it's okay?

I can watch him, and I assure you that Mr. Smith

won't see our faces all day.

Yes, great.

Put the box in here.

Let me help you.

Thanks, Giovas. I've got so much work.

Hide him well.

Let's go, Tommy Boy!

Okay, partner, here's what we're going to do.

I have to go on the roof and connect some cables.

In the meantime, hide in here and be quiet.

I'll be right back. Sound good?

Giovas, why don't you come to my games anymore?

The thing is, Tommy, I've been very busy with work.

Mom's sad that we don't see you anymore.

Really?

What has she told you?

She said... uh-oh.

Lolita's gone.

Lolita?

Weren't you talking about Giovas?

Who's Lolita?

She was in here. She probably got out.

We have to find her before she gets stepped on.

Stepped on? No, don't worry.

Giovas is here to prevent tragedies like that.

What does Lolita look like? I'll find her.

She's black and hairy, has many eyes,

and eight legs.

Sorry, but can you tell me

what kind of animal we're looking for?

A tarantula.

A tarantula?

You had a horrible tarantula inside that cute box?

And you lost it?

Don't worry. I'll help you find it.

When you do, grab it with your hands and put it in this box,

but be careful. She gets mad sometimes.

You don't want to know what she does.

Don't even tell me.

Betty.

Why were you kissing Joaquin?

I beg your pardon?

Please. Why were you kissing that guy?

You can't keep doing this to me.

Doing this to you?

Armando, all I'm trying to do is start over.

Like you.

Or do you deny spending the night with Marcela?

No, no, Betty. It's not what you're thinking.

I don't know what upsets me more.

That you keep trying to make a fool of me or your lies.

I'm not trying to fool you, but it's not what you think.

It's never what I think.

With you, it's always worse.

I know I don't deserve your forgiveness

because of all the harm I've caused you,

but please don't hate me.

I don't hate you.

I just don't care about you.

Betty.

If you ever once cared about me, please leave.

-Lolita? -Loli?

Come, Lolita.

Loli, come here!

She'd better turn up because I'm dead if he doesn't.

Loli.

Will you look at that!

Sofia on four legs like a hamster.

Whatever.

I just came to tell you that my lovebug went to the dentist,

and he's being charged an arm and a leg.

I'll bring you the bill so you can pay it.

Don't move!

You might step on Lolita!

Don't tell me what to do.

Listen, your problem is with me.

Leave them alone. They're busy.

You never cease to surprise me.

All the company assistants are here

while the offices are empty.

We're doing group relaxation therapy.

-Right? -Yes.

Like what you showed us before.

That's interesting, Sandra.

I'm going to be very clear with all of you.

V&M is a company with high standards of discipline.

High standards?

Boss, it's part of the therapy.

Look at me!

Don't move!

It's part of the exercise.

Look me in the eyes and relax.

Let your concerns melt away.

Tarantula.

Huh?

She's just resting.

No more questions.

That's just noise that comes between you and peace.

What are you doing?

-Get me up. -What's your problem?

What do you mean?

What are you doing here?

You're interrupting the work I was doing with Mr. Smith.

Don't worry.

And thanks so much.

Those exercises did me a world of good.

-Really? -Yes.

Know what you really need?

My Patri-coffee. It's my specialty.

I'll bring you some.

-Shut up. -You filthy...

Hey! Once again, thank you. Keep working.

Thanks.

I didn't see the spider fall off him.

Hi!

Hey, Patri.

How are you, Nico?

Fine.

I feel better.

I'm strong as an oak.

That's cool.

Unlike me, who's super fragile.

Just one thought and I crack.

You don't say.

Marcela forced me to go out with Thompson.

I had a terrible time.

I couldn't stop thinking about you.

Well, I don't know about fragile.

What do you mean?

I mean that you're unfeeling is all.

No, the thing is, I can't allow myself a moment of frailty.

If I do, I start to cry. That's my curse.

To feel things as intensely as I do.

I know it might sound corny to you.

You tell me, Nico.

If you had to use one word to describe me,

what would it be?

Tarantula.

You don't have to be mean.

Stop it, Nico. Don't tickle me.

No, I will not forgive you.

That feels good. Keep kissing me.

How are you doing that?

Lolita?

What is it!

Where is it?

-What? -The spider!

It was all of you.

-What? -Yes!

I'm going to talk to Hugo about you.

So she saw Lolita.

Be right back.

Lolita!

Think she'll really report us?

Marcela Valencia.

Joaquin de Quiroz.

What are you doing here?

I came to say hello and see your office.

I'm no dummy, so quit wasting your time.

We both know we can't stand the other's presence.

Fine. You're right.

I came to make you an offer

you can't refuse.

If it's a strategy to hurt Betty, forget it.

I'm not like Armando.

You're right.

You can't hold a candle to him.

But, my dear friend, I came because you and me

have something in common.

And I can help you.

You help me? How?

Keeping Armando far away from Beatriz.

It benefits neither of us for those two to be together.

I can't believe it.

Who'd have thought the great Marcela Valencia

needed a strategy to fight for the man who cheated on her.

Look, at least I'm fighting for something that was mine.

You, however, are in love with a woman who loves someone else.

That, my dear friend, is pathetic.

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

Betty is no longer interested in Armando.

That's over.

Think what you like,

but deep, deep down you know I'm right.

If you ever change your mind, my dear friend,

you know where to find me.

Nice picture.

Betty en New York is the result of many important people...

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

...who worked hard to bring you a story of the highest quality.

That's why on this Behind the Scenes

we'll be paying tribute to all those here

on Betty en New York.

Action.

Betty en New York is a work of high production value.

From the beginning to the end, we had three production teams,

MARCOS SANTANA PRESIDENT TELEMUNDO GLOBAL STUDIOS

...which doesn't usually happen on Spanish-language television.

Over 6,000 extras were used during the production,

from runways shows to the extras on the streets.

Nobody who saw the series ever felt like we weren't

in New York City.

That was one aspect that made the series a hit.

It's been a complicated post-production process

because it was almost entirely filmed in Miami

even though 100% of it took place in New York.

The VFX work has been incredible.

The post-production team is a serious,

tightknit, special group.

I'm very proud of the results.

The set designers that submerged us

in the world of New York faced a big challenge,

but I think we were successful in achieving it.

The scenic department really did something unique.

The sets that were built are special.

The V&M set, everything we did there...

I'm really proud of that.

I think Betty en New York,

a story we were all familiar with,

turned out to be a new story for all of us.

On behalf of everyone

who made telling this amazing story possible,

thank you very much for allowing us into your homes,

for allowing us to share with you,

and thank you for making Betty en New York

one of the favorite shows amongst Hispanics

here in the US.

Thanks a million.
