AN ORIGINAL VIX SERIES

How is it that this man died like this?

Poor widow.

At least they were able to say goodbye.

A WEEK AGO...

Do you have any idea what it took me

to sell just one of these products?

Oh, and as I recall, publically you said

that I was crazy for doing so.

I didn't say crazy,

I said hysterical.

You know that I don't condone those products,

but if we're smart, we can make a lot of money.

So I'm not just crazy, I'm stupid.

I didn't say that, I said that obviously

women don't have to know how to run a business,

- we know that. - You think?

Because I'm not the one who was duped by his partner.

Sweetheart, you don't understand,

the matter with my partner won't be resolved soon.

Since when do you drink tequila?

Think of the children, they are not well,

I don't want them to suffer what they have already overcome.

Besides, what are we going to live on?

If you're so worried about the kids,

then get yourself a job.

You're behind schedule.

Hi, honey. I'm home.

How did it go at the office?

Fine.

In court there was a lawsuit for a haulage costs that...

Lawyer stuff, you wouldn't understand.

Honey...

I was thinking,

since we haven't been able to rearrange the honeymoon,

maybe we can plan a special day for you know.

With your mother's things,

I was waiting for you to be ready.

We can have dinner on the terrace of the Regis,

get a suite.

Cover the bed with delicate petals,

like my wife's lips.

The buttons on your shirt might feel tight.

And your dress would cover the carpeting

and I...

The pie is ready.

My mom says the cooking time is very precise and...

OK, kids, have a good day at school,

behave yourselves.

What are you doing?

The neighbors are watching,

we don't want them to notice, do we?

We're going back to a proper school

where you're going to learn, OK?

Are you sure they're going to let us in?

I talked to the principal

and you'll go back as if you never left.

I don't understand what was wrong

with the other school, I learned more there.

That school does not conform

with the values of our family, Ceci,

that's all.

Son.

Ceci.

Go on, you'll be late.

Behave yourselves.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Ceci is a rebel.

She runs around the house like she's crazy.

Excuse me, Lety.

Consuelo, dear,

what happened to you was such a pity.

Lety, I'll see you at the new committee meeting.

Yes, dear. Thank you.

I hope you get better, dear.

What I hate the most is having to pretend

that I'm crazy,

when you and I know perfectly well

that Carlos Julio made that up.

What's this about the committee?

Lety.

Nothing, it's just a committee that Olga organized.

I'm going to join that committee.

It's the only way I can get my reputation back

and not have them think I'm crazy.

Whether Olga likes it or not.

Done, the kids are at school.

Matilde, make me a snack.

The school called, the kids didn't go to class.

But I just dropped them off.

Did you see them go in?

We could say goodbye in a special way,

when everyone leaves.

Say goodbye, you and me, in a special way?

Like this?

At my old school I had a different class schedule.

Relax.

I am relaxed. Why?

In fact, I'm so relaxed

that I can tell you about the time that I...

That's great there.

I heard about the committee.

You're always so charitable.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much, dear.

I didn't know you were leaving the house and alone.

Are you OK?

I'm great.

So much so, that I came to tell you

that I'm going to be part of the committee.

Because if you think you can distance

from everyone that easy,

you're mistaken.

Behind that innocent face

and that false apology,

I know perfectly well

that you don't regret anything.

You may go to Mass,

but the dirty stain of sin is

on your forehead.

You're right.

The only thing worse than a sinner

are her friends.

So, dear ladies,

I wanted to publicly thank Olga Pontón de Acevedo,

because in a show of charity

she has offered me a leadership role

on the Committee of the Friends of the Homeless.

What an honor.

Ceci, come here.

How was school?

Fine, same old.

Who did you see?

I saw Mariana,

- Tomás... - You're good at lying.

How are you, sweetie?

Look,

your daughter played hooky.

That's not true! I did go to school,

my school.

See what's happening to her

for hanging out with those people?

That has nothing to do with it.

My brother also ditched.

I'll talk to your brother.

He called home and said

he was going out with some friends.

And you don't scold him?

It's different, he's a man.

And you know what? Show me some respect,

- I'm your father. - Well, I don't care.

My mom may have forgiven you,

but I'll never forgive you for leaving.

Welcome back.

No.

Relax.

I know I can't sleep here.

I just want to ask you a question.

Have you thought about what we talked,

about the business?

Not that again, please.

Consuelo, sweetie,

the debts are accumulating,

the children are not well.

Is it normal for them to run away from school?

Is this how we want to raise them?

I know you did your best,

but you have to go back to good values,

and that means paying for a private school, the club,

returning them to their environment.

Think about it.

- Don't wake up. - Consuelo.

Consuelo.

- What? - I'm looking for the plunger.

It's under the sink, like always.

Are you sure?

I can't find it.

I booked the court,

why's there such a long line?

They're here to play

with you, sir.

Dr. Palomares becomes single

and look at all his lady friends.

Well, he's the perfect man.

He's available, he's a doctor,

good-looking and he's in his best age.

Do you know what you're going to do

with the new product?

Yes, that's why I wanted to meet up.

Good morning.

What's this bastard doing here?

I invited him.

Pardon?

I wanted to know your thoughts

on including Carlos Julio in the business.

No.

As what? Company loafer or what?

Regardless of your opinion of me,

I'm the only one here

who studied International Business.

So, listen to me.

We need to protect ourselves.

Find a front.

A credible business that allows us to move money

without having problems with the tax authorities.

Then start distributing to wholesalers.

And finally, I would like to discuss

- Matilde's role. - My role of what?

Getting out stains isn't the same

as running a business.

Hey, don't get rude.

No, no, no, I'm running a lot of risk

working with two women,

- so I have to manage... - I'm going to stop you there,

because the women you see in this room

started this business.

And if someone is going to be kicked out, it's you,

because we don't need you!

- Excuse me. - No!

No, no, no!

I don't want him to be part of the business.

You're telling me. I know, but my situation is

a bit complicated.

But what does that have to do with the business? Our business?

I need to maintain the facade

that Carlos Julio and I are still happily married,

even if only for a little while, until things calm down a little.

It's for my kids.

If we could just include him for a little while,

just until I get him out of the house.

- So you two aren't going to... - No, no way.

I don't want to. Besides, things have already...

- No. - ...happened.

No, the doctor!

- Le docteur! - The doctor.

I feel like there's something special between us.

But regardless,

we can't do anything

because I can't have another scandal.

Look...

I don't trust my idiot cousin.

- I know. - But I do trust you.

A lot.

So, I leave the decision in your hands.

In two days I leave for Deutschland.

Let me know if I should keep calling him a cretin

or a cretin partner.

Consuelo, the post office called.

There seems to be an urgent matter,

they need you to go in person.

- OK, well... - Bye, bye.

Au revoir!

Were the classes you took useful for married life?

I can't complain.

I have the perfect husband,

the perfect apartment,

everything I ever dreamed of.

But...

Honestly I called you because I still had some doubts

regarding what we talked about,

a journalism internship.

It's just...

I'm so amazingly bored.

Good luck.

I never thought that being a housewife would be

so repetitive.

I prepare breakfast for Pedro,

he goes to the office, I make him lunch, dinner...

When he arrives, I take care of him,

but what do I do with all the hours in between?

Do you think it's too late for an interview?

Well, it depends.

What does your husband think about it?

Let's just say it won't be a problem.

As long as he doesn't find out.

Good afternoon.

What are you doing here?

I'm the one who called your house.

I wanted to see you.

I didn't know what to do and I posed

as the postal employee.

I can't get you out of my head.

Our love is bigger than this.

It's something that only happens once in a lifetime.

Don't say that to me, please.

I can't.

Look, if I'm wrong, if I'm imagining things,

tell me. If your feelings changed.

- What's wrong? - No! It's not that.

It has nothing to do with that.

Our love is...

so uniquely ours

and you know what you mean to me.

But I can't deal with another scandal,

I can't.

My priorities are my family,

my children.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Martha Patricia? Right?

Nice to meet you.

Cristina showed me a text of yours a while ago.

I was surprised that you didn't come in

for an interview.

Oh, sorry, Mr. Raúl.

I wanted to, but with my wedding and so,

well, I've been very busy.

"Mr. Raúl"? You made me feel like I was 80.

Please, no need for formalities.

Corroborate sources. Look,

in Confidencias we're looking for voices

that don't mind writing about more modern,

current topics. You know what I mean?

I don't know how well I fit that profile.

Well, if you write like in the text

that Cristina showed me you'll fit perfectly.

So, you'd start on Ariel Arredondo's team.

He's our leisure section editor.

It's the only vacancy we have.

But if you show talent,

we don't clip anyone's wings here.

Um, what? You mean I already have the job?

Go see payroll about your payment.

You start on Monday.

I know you can't understand what I did

because you're so young,

but I want you to know that I'm making an effort

to repair all the damage I did with my decisions.

Well, you're going to have to make a bigger one.

How about...

one on wheels?

Ah, Fireglows!

Do you like them?

They're the best skates in the entire universe!

Thank you, Daddy.

This isn't a prize.

It's an incentive,

you understand?

I'll be right down, after I finish my decoration.

No, no, no!

Before you judge me,

I'm not forgiving my dad because he brought me gifts.

But that doesn't mean

I can't accept them.

Let him keep trying to bribe me.

The meal is delicious, ma'am.

Thank you very much, Luisa.

I wish Andrés would have told us you were coming

so we could have prepared something a little more special.

Tell me, Luisa,

- where do you live? - Dad!

Well, right now I live near La Merced,

but soon I'm going to visit my dad

in the United States.

You don't say.

Is he American?

Can you pass the potato salad?

Of course, love.

No, no, he's more Mexican than chile peppers.

But he went there to work

and I'm going to go look for him.

When are you leaving?

In a few days.

You should get some more potato salad...

Luisa, do you know your father?

I mean, there are cases. It can happen.

May I use your bathroom, ma'am?

Of course, it's in the hallway on the right.

Thank you.

I'm glad you invited Luisa.

Yes, she's nice,

but she's not the right girl for you, Andrés.

Fortunately, she's going on a trip soon.

What do you mean by "right"?

Because she's not like us.

She's fine for a bit of fun.

You know what I mean? You understand?

The potato salad is very good.

I missed it.

Thank you, love.

Sorry about the impromptu meal.

I was going to prepare something more elaborate,

but the embroidery club took up a lot of my time.

Don't worry.

It looks delicious.

I like that you have hobbies.

And how was your day at work, honey?

You can't imagine how tiring work is.

You women are so lucky.

Today I had to draw up dozens of documents,

talk to the judge, talk to clients,

deal with all of them, it's terrible.

What's this?

Good morning, love.

I organized a day at the park.

We're going to eat and spend some family time.

And how were you convinced?

Let's just say we've made a truce.

I don't know what to say,

but I'm glad to see you all together.

Let's go!

It's been too long since we've been together

as a family and we deserve it.

- Very good! - I'm very stressed

because it's a lot

and to be honest, I don't know what to do.

You almost got it.

- Mom? - Try it.

Are you listening to me?

Yes!

You said that you went to buy soap,

but they didn't have the one Matilde always buys...

I told you that 15 minutes ago.

I'm sorry.

Start from the top again,

I'll give you all my attention, I'm sorry.

- Well... - No.

They are officially

the worst kite-raising assistants,

I give up.

You missed your shoe, Cinderella.

Hey, little girl! I'm gonna kill you!

Do you realize, Consuelo,

that we can go back to being the family we've always been?

Sure, maybe you and I can't be a couple,

but this is us,

this is our family.

This morning I was summoned

by the most important members of the party

and they all want me to speak at the next rally.

Congratulations, my husband,

you deserve it.

Ceci fell asleep with her skates on.

The beautiful little monster finally got tired.

Carlos Julio!

Hold on.

I've been analyzing the landscape

and I think it's a good idea for you to join the business.

Are you sure?

No, I'm not,

but I think it's the right thing to do.

You are still the children's father

and if we're going to be together, for them,

we have to ensure

that they have everything they need.

Sweetheart, thank you so much.

Of course,

with some conditions.

Matilde is our partner

and remains administrator of the business,

that is non-negotiable.

You come in as a partner,

not as a boss,

and if there are any disagreements,

Ingrid and I have the last word.

Sounds fair.

Don't worry,

I know what we are

and what we aren't.

Good night.

Sleep well.

The important thing is that, as a new congressman,

I start to...

take charge

of the changes that are about to...

come.

- Well, you're the best. - Uh, yeah.

- The fastest, the... - Yeah.

You can achieve everything

and they know it.

Yes, if all goes well,

in the next elections

I have to aspire, at least...

to be party chair.

You're going to be the best chairman

- ever. - Yes, yes.

- Yes... yes. - The people need you.

Oh, yes!

Olga!

Oh, God!

That was so good, my husband.

As always.

Well, enough.

You're crushing me.

Husband.

My love.

Joaquín!
