Original subtitles

-Are we competing or what? -No.

Well, what a pleasant surprise.

-Hey. -Hi.

How are you?

Octavio and I have decided to get back to swimming.

-Nice. -But now

I take it easy so she can catch her breath.

I can imagine.

You up for a drink, bud?

-It'll help you recover. -I am.

-Let's go. -A drink? Now?

Just a refreshment.

-Okay. So, how's the water? -It's nice, get in.

Let's see.

How are you guys?

We're cool. He's working from home next Monday and Tuesday

and then he'll be back at his office.

That's good to hear.

So, how many times has Renata called you?

Not so often as I thought she would.

-I'll see her in a while. -Good.

You know what I was thinking?

I can't believe how quickly

your view on your marriage can change.

Wait, have you guys argued because of

Octavio's situation?

No, everything's fine between us, as always.

But I trusted him blindly before.

Now.

I don't anymore.

I get you.

I didn't mean to throw you to the lions,

but Leticia told me you guys were leaving for Malinalco

and I didn't know what to say.

Don't worry about that.

The truth is I put you on the spot,

I know that.

So you don't hate me?

Of course not.

Eloísa finding it out was for the best.

I didn't want her to learn the truth from a damn email,

but I couldn't handle that love triangle

anymore.

It was a mess.

Besides, you were risking

your marriage to a sweet, beautiful woman.

What were you thinking?

I don't know. When I met Gabriela,

I was in need of.

I don't know, really.

Youth. It happens to all of us when we turn 50,

but you shouldn't fool around

like this, man.

The worst part?

You don't look any younger if you're with younger women.

Quite the contrary.

Don't be a jerk.

Things were going so well before this.

We walked around the streets and had dinner, we had fun.

For a moment,

we were that young couple celebrating

-the Day of the Dead in Malinalco. -Aw.

Nice. The most important thing is the truth came out

and you could talk about it. Lack of communication

is very dangerous for a marriage.

Is that why he cheated on me?

Because we didn't speak enough?

No, I mean.

Talking, spending time together and doing couple activities

makes you

more intimate, and intimacy creates sexual desire.

From now on, behave yourself,

act like a saint

and don't give in to temptation. It's for the best.

You sound like a priest.

Gabriela and I don't live in different continents.

She'll still be working there

and I'll still be a lawyer there.

Exactly, that's why

you shouldn't be there for the next two days.

I know there's no ocean between you two, so stay home.

I can't work from home forever.

Besides, it was just a slip-up. You know better

than anyone what I'm talking about.

Let me stop you there. My thing is completely different.

You've been doing this for two years, it's not just a tiny

slip-up.

How should I put it?

Gaby was like a drug, but I'm done with her now.

I've learned something living with a drug therapist,

and I can tell you're about to have a relapse, man.

As a therapist,

-Yes? -I can say

you can overcome a slip-up.

Some couples can't,

but on the contrary, others become stronger.

And do you believe the same as a woman?

The thing is I haven't been in your shoes,

but I can tell you

you should look forward

and let bygones be bygones.

And it's no use

knowing who she is,

where he met her or what she's called.

Gabriela Esquivel.

Hey, how are you?

Please tell me which photos you want printed.

I'm "Chispas", from the photo studio.

Hi. I don't need the photos anymore, so.

Thank you.

Maybe she's single now?

Hey, we don't do refunds, so 10 of those pics are yours.

If you don't want to give them to anyone,

you could keep them. Right?

You pick them, please, and send them to my place.

Thanks.

You in Mexico? What a nice surprise.

Nicolás!

Octavio.

This is unexpected.

-Nice to see you. -Come.

I'm coming here often to visit my dad

and for business.

How's life in London?

-Jeez! -Happy?

Very, but now I want to stay here for a while.

Let's see how things go.

That's great.

-Morning, Enrique. -Gabriela.

Sir.

Good morning.

Hi. Did you sleep well?

Here's the report you requested.

You'll see the charts

showing the recent media impact Serrano's case has had.

Please check it out and let me know if you have any questions

so we can talk about it.

Please tell me this is a joke.

I knew you'd take it this way.

Of course I would.

I just want what's best for you.

You know what that is?

Making things right with my husband. It's 25 years of

marriage.

Years of him meeting his lover on your anniversary.

Do you know what it takes to make a marriage last?

You don't, do you?

You need to make sacrifices to keep your family together.

Look, my marriage lasted one year

because I was too young.

You have no right to rub my nose in it.

Hold on. You know I've always thought you were very brave

when you broke up with him,

I didn't mean that.

Are you drinking again now?

I am. This issue gets me upset.

I would've done things differently.

More and more branches

are threatening to unionize since he was fired.

Gabriela says he sent the document meaning to make peace.

Serrano might seem docile, but he isn't, miss.

I'm not an easy woman to fool, sir. Don't mistake my youth for

naivety.

I'm not worried about your inexperience,

but about your impulsiveness.

Minimizing Serrano's intentions is a big mistake, Enrique.

And admitting responsibility for his accusations

would imply our company has acted unlawfully.

Or that we did something irregular against him, to say

the least.

So, did he get a reply?

We had Mr. Hidalgo file a document to Serrano.

He was warned to stop all forms of communication

or he will be sued for extortion and blackmail.

Well done. This guy should keep his distance.

Hey, Dad.

Yes?

What's up with Nicolás?

Honestly?

Nothing. This neurotic, spoiled, psychotic girl

is reclaiming her life. That's what's up.

Your life is none of my business.

I meant this meeting.

I felt like I was giving a report on my firm's running.

Enrique asked me to make a compilation of Serrano's case

so Nicolás would be aware of it. Talk to him.

Gaby, want to go for lunch?

Yes, let's go.

Are you joining us?

Sorry, I'm busy.

-All right. Good to see you. -Enjoy.

See you.

Octavio regrets what he did.

You can't believe everything he says, come on.

You need to find out more.

Hear me out. I'd rather know nothing about her.

He wants to leave you in the dark.

He swore she didn't mean anything and that it was over.

-That's what matters. -Do you buy that?

Of course, I need to believe him.

No, you need to know her name.

Gabriela Esquivel.

I think it's her.

She's a lawyer at the Villalobos branch.

I haven't met her,

but Antonia said her name last Sunday and Octavio got kind of

edgy

and changed subjects.

Then what you need is to be sure it's her.

What are you doing?

It's her.

I'm sure.

She's the one I saw at the airport.

I refused to believe it was her because she's Antonia's friend.

They met at a bar last Saturday.

Anyway, that's it.

I won't let a slip-up end my marriage.

-I won't. -A slip-up?

-Exactly. -She wasn't a slip-up.

She's a well-off, successful woman.

You went to Malinalco with Octavio and now she's pissed

off.

She feels entitled.

What the hell do you want?

Do you want me to hit the roof?

I want to protect you. Leave that bastard, he's a liar.

We'll be with you in a minute.

Guess what I made today, Pablo.

Let's see. What's the menu?

Veracruz-style garnachas made with potatoes, onions and tomato

sauce.

I always feel pampered here.

No walnuts, right?

No, I'd never add walnuts.

Now stop that and enjoy your lunch.

I'll be done in a minute.

How's my brochure going?

Hi, Renata. Glad to see you too.

-Oh, hi. How are you? -Very well. The brochure too.

We just need to change its pictures.

Right, I took the photos.

But we better to leave that to a professional.

Perfect.

Is this the photographer's number?

It's Eloísa's.

Wait.

Did she ask you to give it to me?

Call her. You'll cheer her up.

You could've texted me her number. You know, right?

I know, but I wanted to see your face.

Thank you, Rocha.

At your service, sir.

Hi, honey.

You allowed that woman to befriend Antonia?

Gabriela Esquivel.

Who told you her name?

Your face gave it away when Antonia said her name.

I'm not that foolish.

And I know you way better than you know me.

Don't you dare deny it because Renata told me

she's the woman you were with at the airport.

The woman I almost found kissing my damn husband.

Renata? Of course. Who else?

Don't put the blame on others.

Tell me why you let that woman befriend my kid.

-Just a damn coincidence. -Yeah.

I swear. Antonia asked me to work with Villalobos' team.

-And. -Give me a break, Octavio.

I'm telling the truth, I swear it.

I didn't tell you her name

because I'll still have to work

-with her. -No way.

Do what you have to do.

-Eloísa, I. -Get her away from us.

I can't boss Enrique and tell him to fire her.

Don't worry over it.

-Don't read into it. -Listen.

She didn't go out with Antonia to have fun or talk business.

What were her intentions?

I don't know.

Mrs. Eloísa, dinner is ready.

I don't want them to be friends.

Find a way to deal with this.

Let's have dinner.

Villalobos won't sue you.

I can tell you after reading this they're afraid.

They worry about the data you have.

Ismael.

Don't give up, we can still do a lot.

Like your article?

-Yes. -No, Casas.

I quit this fight.

And not for me,

but for my family.

It's not worth it.

Look,

this is all the information I've gathered.

It'll be in good hands.

I'm sorry, I can't take this. This belongs to you.

Let's do a detailed report in chronological order.

We can write everything that happened since you were accused.

We have a chance.

I've been like this for 14 months.

How long until people believe

I didn't abuse anyone?

Until my kids stop being bullied at school

and my wife stops receiving threats?

I mean my ex-wife.

Whatever it takes. But I can't do this without you.

Do it for every poor man like me

who stays silent

and never gets to win against people like them.

You do have a chance to win.

You can clear our names.

Remember me.

Don't ever let your job be more important than your life.

You won't live forever and you can never go back in time.

Hi honey, I'm two streets away.

Okay, Mom.

Don't linger, please.

HELLO, MRS. ELOÍSA. I'M PABLO CASAS.

-WHO GAVE YOU MY NUMBER? -RENATA. I'M TAKING MY SON TO

BALLET.

MAYBE WE CAN HAVE THAT COFFEE?

Mrs. Eloísa.

I'm sorry to call you, I'm in a rush.

Don't be, I'm glad you called.

Hearing your voice is better than reading texts.

Right? Texts can be dangerous, don't you think?

I don't mind how we communicate.

I have nothing to hide.

I didn't mean that. What I mean

is that texts can be interpreted the wrong way.

One might send an innocent text

and it could be taken as a cold message.

I'm sorry.

Don't even listen to me, all I say is nonsense

because I'm nervous.

Nervous?

Yes, I feel like I'm 13 again and I'm talking to the girl I

like.

Mr. Casas,

I don't think going for a coffee is a good idea.

I wanted to apologize if anything I said or did

gave you the wrong idea.

I didn't mean it.

I'm the one who should apologize. It's my fault.

The thing is I was talking to someone about.

how fast life goes.

And we can't go back in time. I thought you'd like that coffee.

I don't know what Renata said, but my husband and I

are having a hard time.

I'm focused on my family now,

I hope you understand.

I do, and I truly hope everything gets back to normal.

If that's what you wish, of course.

Anyway, let me ask you a favor. I need you to make a promise.

I'm listening.

Whatever happens,

always remember you can be deeply loved

and incredibly happy.

Don't settle for less.

Can you promise that?

I promise you, Mr. Casas.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

To your new home.

Cheers!

Delicious.

Thanks for lending me your van.

I think I should sell it.

Why?

We bought it during the pandemic. Pablo and I dreamed of

moving away.

We needed space to take three surfboards to the beach.

But can you guys surf?

No way.

When we get back here to celebrate your divorce, you'll

have some cake.

Life goes on now.

Jeffrey can't wait forever

and Pablo moved on.

Is he dating anyone?

Julieta, let's not talk about that. You're both my friends.

What's wrong? Are things still not OK with Jeffrey?

No,

I just have the feeling

that he urged me to sign the divorce papers

just so he can start a company in my name.

And not to propose to you?

I was dumb to believe that.

Darn him.

-You know what I've been thinking? -What?

I don't know how Pablo found out

about me and Jeffrey, but if I'd talked to him before that,

we'd still be together.

Look, Pablo.

He's easy-going, but not that much.

Don't beat yourself up.

And clearly, if he hadn't learned the truth,

Jeffrey and I wouldn't be together.

Let me remind you you were crazy about Jeffrey.

All you did back then was complain about Pablo.

You're just going through a crisis.

I'm not, Karen.

It's like I'm hungover and now I see the stupid things I've done.

I'm going to the shops, wait.

-I can take a taxi, Mom. -No, it's OK.

I like picking you up because we can talk.

-About? -About you, your stuff.

-Now more than ever, since you're. -Now more than ever?

Why?

Are you and Dad breaking up?

No.

That's why he stayed home for two days.

-Are you breaking up? -Listen.

Your dad and I are just fine.

I was talking about you starting ballet lessons.

If you ever feel too much pressure,

-I want you to know you can trust me. -Okay. You know what?

I'm running late. Thanks for the ride. Bye.

Enjoy.

-Can you pass me the phone? -Sure.

Hello?

What was your plan?

What plan?

Don't play the fool. I know you and I know your intentions.

-Oh, you talked to Pablo. -I mean,

why would you give him my number?

-So? -He invited me for a coffee

Obviously, I said no and I told him not to get any ideas.

I'm married.

So what? Married women can't drink coffee?

Tell me how you felt at least.

He's a lovely man, I won't deny it.

He has a very special sense of humor.

He must be a tiger in bed.

Ren, can't you think about anything else?

Oh, you should've seen his face when he saw you at the jacuzzi.

His eyes lit up when I gave him your number.

That man's had sexual fantasies about you.

Because of you, now I have to wait until Matilda's class is

over

so I don't see him.

Bye Ren, have a good one.

Oh, God.

Oh, Naye.

Hi baby. You're early.

Wow, you look like a ghost.

She hasn't eaten and she feels dizzy.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm on my period. You know how I get.

-Rest in bed, I'll bring your tea. -I can't.

I must finish some files I have to give to Gabriela tomorrow.

-I'm out for a run. -Not at this time.

I'll be around home.

Enough exercise for today, Matilda.

Get well, Casper.

How rude.

Easy, don't listen to her.

-Can you pass me the honey? -Sure.

Thanks, Mom.

Darling, I wanted to ask you something.

Tell me.

How did you become friends with Miss Esquivel?

You just got in the firm. Did she approach you?

No, it was the other way around.

I'd read an interview she made for a magazine

and I found it really interesting,

so I'd like to be like her one day.

I'd never change law for public relations,

but I think she's a qualified woman.

You need some rest, hon.

-I'll go to finish this. -I'll help you.

It's okay, Mom. I can do it. Good night.

Bye, dear.

Thanks, Naye.

Don't worry about these clothes, ma'am.

I'll have them ready before I leave

so you can relax on Monday.

Thank you. Your nephew will be glad to see you.

I'm not so sure about that.

She wants to move to the city and I'll see her on her

birthday.

I'll try to convince her to stay in Oaxaca.

Have some rest now.

-Good night, ma'am. -Good night.

YOU FELT DESIRED. THAT WAS MY PLAN.

FOR WHAT?

JUST IN CASE. THERE'S A WORLD OUT THERE FOR YOU.

Renata, things are going well with Octavio.

Better than ever.

Octavio.

You were staring into space.

I have tons of things to do. It's been a tough week.

It's still early. I'll go change so we can go to bed

and you relax a little bit.

Sure, I'll just finish some things first, okay?

I'll be right back.

Nothing left for Daniel.

Delicious. Is it true serotonin makes you happy?

Tough day?

Let's say I need serotonin.

Why didn't we move to the beach?

Like most people, we were too lazy to learn how to surf.

You know what bothers me?

We weren't like most people.

Maybe we were but didn't want to be.

I'll save some of this so I can be happy tomorrow.

I miss you.

What can I say?

I've been working my butt off to stop missing you for a year.

I'm sorry.

I am.

I think I never told you.

I'm so sorry.

You didn't deserve to be hurt.

It's okay. Really.

No, it's not.

I was selfish.

I'm sorry.

I'm confused.

Why confused?

Because I've been fantasizing. about us.

Making love.

What time do we have to pick Daniel up?

-We have time. -Yes?

Do you want to make love?

Good night.

The apartment you helped me get

is free of ghosts, spirits and old tenants,

so you can come up whenever you please.

I love that we're neighbors, but put that away from me.

-I don't want to be burnt or killed. -No.

This will remove that old man's bad vibes from you.

-I'll get more beer. -Hey.

What's wrong? Aren't you happy I moved here?

I saw Octavio at work.

Okay. So?

So, not only did he forget about me, he hates me.

You started dating your boss' son

to make him jealous, though you said you wouldn't.

-What did you expect? -I know.

He's right, I'm an immature, fickle, irritable girl.

Hold on. You're not a girl

and you're not irritable. He's manipulative.

He's the one who's been promising things for two years.

He's the one who's psychotic. He wants you to be sorry.

I am sorry, Karen.

We had everything planned out.

All I had to do was wait.

I had to be patient and do things right

-so I didn't hurt his wife or kids. -Gabriela.

He's made you lose your mind. Are you listening to yourself?

Are you?

Do you want to listen to the childish messages I sent?

Or the times I called him knowing his wife could pick up?

I was insane.

Why did I lose patience?

I just had to wait.

Weren't we going to the club, dear?

Too late for me, hon. Maybe later?

-I'm sorry. -OK, you tell me.

I will. Antonia, I'll wait in the car.

You must have breakfast. You work out a lot.

What do you care? Leave me alone!

What's going on here?

She doesn't want to have breakfast, ma'am.

Matilda, that's not healthy. You know.

Do as we say and eat something, please.

Happy?

-Leave now before it's late. -Yes, ma'am.

Can't someone else do it?

Why? Are they too busy or what?

-Okay, fine. -Move.

-Little brat. -Jerk.

You're nuts.

Besides, I need to get something else and.

-Talking to yourself? -What?

You're talking to yourself.

My damn boss thinks I'm the studio's courier.

I have to take some photos now.

Oh, you work so hard.

Me? Three meetings with Dad, 16 calls and then I have to read

things non-stop. That's working hard.

Why don't you switch to HR? Your boss is exploiting you.

You're hilarious.

-Antonia! -Look, he'll be late because of you.

You keep your job cause you're his fave.

You know what?

Unless you want to get fired, stop watching porn, will you?

Or close the door.

-It's boudoir photography. Boudoir . -Sure.

That's it.

Ready.

WEIGH-IN TODAY.

You got to be kidding me.

I was made to eat a damn sandwich.

I'll get my van back today, so I'll stop bothering you.

Don't worry, I don't mind it.

Besides, we hadn't done it for a while.

I mean, picking up Daniel.

I wanted to check on you.

I talked to Jeffrey last night.

We're trying to work things out.

That's great.

-Last night. -Yesterday was.

-my fault. -No.

Yes, it happened because of me and what I said about serotonin.

I'm to blame.

It was really nice.

But it can't happen again.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah.

I hate how ironic this sounds, but.

Jeffrey can't know.

I won't say a word.

Thanks.

-Okay, bye. -Goodbye.

Morning, Enrique.

Another branch is unionizing.

Now in Campeche.

-Those bastards want to screw me up. -They do, but I'm dealing

with them.

I'd like to tell you something.

And I'd appreciate an honest answer.

Your son formally requested my firm

to send the files from the last 14 months.

So?

That's an audit.

Don't give me that look.

I want Nico to conduct my business as my heir. Nothing

else.

What? Are you retiring or what?

I bought a yacht three years ago.

I used it twice. And I can't remember my last time

at Champs-Élysées, and I went to Paris

seven times last year.

Hi, Dad.

-Hello Octavio, how are you? -I'm good.

I didn't know

-you came here so often. -Business with your dad.

Sorry to interrupt, but I have to go.

Enrique, a reporter wants to meet you to discuss Serrano's

case

Tell him we have no further comments

about that case.

That would raise suspicions, we have nothing to hide.

If you'd like, I can have the interview.

We need to be tactful.

Good, you'll do it.

Excuse me.

You think I don't see how you look at her?

No shame, she must be a vixen in bed.

Really?

If the feminists hear you, you're sued.

Right, Octavio?

We're all men here.

I can tell you want her.

I won't talk to you about someone I could date seriously.

Is that clear?

I was looking for a reason for you to stay,

but I didn't expect this.

Gentlemen.

Keep me posted.

Of course.

Gabriela, are you sleeping with Nicolás?

None of your business, right?

It hasn't even been a week, for fuck's sake.

Believe what you want.

Are you?

Are you sleeping with him?

Give me a fucking answer!

Rocha, let's go.

-Hi darling. -Hi Mom.

Listen, I left an envelope on my desk.

Do you need me to take it somewhere?

No, I'll have someone else do it.

Just take it.

-Okay, I'll do it. -Thanks.

Gabriela Esquivel.

A little bit further.

There.

Did you find the envelope? It's.

How did you meet that woman?

What? Who?

Gabriela Esquivel.

Why did she have the photoshoot with you?

How did you meet her?

I'm working on a photoshoot. Are you OK?

It's okay, don't worry.

Call the courier off.

I'll take the photos to her.

I have to pick your granny up from the airport.

Thank you, you just saved me a lot of money. Love you.

-Go away. -Tell me!

I won't say a fucking word. Go away.

I won't leave until you tell me.

-Want to know if I fucked him? -I want to know. Why?

-Yes, every day since Sunday. -How many times?

-Liar. -Want to know where?

In the kitchen, the living room.

-Wanna know how many times I came? -Don't lie to me.

-Do you wanna know? -Yes, tell me.

-How many times? -Yeah? Wanna know

-if you fuck me better? -Tell me how he fucks you.

I can't live without you.

Call Octavio.

Leave your message.

Are you at the club now?

We agreed to go together. Where are you?

Call me.

I need to do everything my way, okay?

Okay. I promise I won't get you in trouble anymore.

Gabriela Esquivel?

Who is it?

No idea, I'll go check.

I'll be right back. Wait for me.

Hurry.

Yes?

-Someone has some photos for you. -Let them in.

Apartment 303. The elevator's out of order.

My love, I have a surprise.

Open the door when you hear the doorbell.

For me?
