Original subtitles

What is that woman doing here?

Hugo hates her. Where'd she go?

Relax, she already left.

She only came to tell me something important.

What could be so important? I thought she quit V&M.

-Not anymore. She's back. -No!

Yes, she's going to stay.

-No! -Yes!

She's going to keep being my assistant.

Look at you. Even your mood improved.

What's that woman doing to you?

Having before me all the documentation

that accredits this union before the law and society,

and by the power invested in me by the State of New York,

I now declare you officially married.

Congratulations!

Kiss, kiss!

Excuse me!

I want to say a few words too!

After all, this wouldn't be a wedding if I didn't talk.

Right?

Sit. Get comfy.

Sit down.

Romina, I don't think you should.

I know you better than anyone here.

Don't I?

It's time to talk.

Okay, Charly, fine.

I did something nasty.

I asked a friend of mine to take that slut

to a restaurant and then I asked my other friend

to call Efrain and tell him so he'd catch them.

That didn't happen, though.

No.

My idiot friend didn't tell me the bimbo changed her mind

and the plan didn't end up working.

I'm sorry, Sofia, but that was a huge waste of time

and money.

No, it's not, Charly.

I'm trying to understand what's happening to my family.

I'm trying to get Efrain to open his eyes

and see what kind of moron he's with.

-You know. -Yes, I know.

Deep down, Efrain knows too,

but you're only fooling yourself

and sinking your own ship in the process.

He already chose her.

You're the one I'm worried about.

Why are you hurting yourself this way?

Does your husband really mean that much to you?

I couldn't give less of a damn about Efrain.

My kids are what matter to me.

He's my children's father.

That relationship is what matters to me.

I don't know why he's doing all this,

but if you ask me, I would do anything for a family

like the one Efrain is turning his back on.

You have to accept it. You two are over.

Don't humiliate yourself like this again, please.

Let's go!

You should be ashamed of yourself.

You fight like a toddler.

Is that all you've got? Come on, Wilson!

I did good, right?

I feel good! I feel amazing!

In fact, I think I can finally beat you in there.

No, no... you're not ready. I could hurt you.

Is that it or are you afraid?

Me? No way.

Okay, let's fight.

Loser deals with the shame forever...

and takes the winner out for beers.

-Deal? -Deal.

Wilson!

Romina, please.

This man here is...

my darling brother.

We haven't seen each other in so long.

Despite the distance, though,

our hearts are still close together... forever.

It's so hard to be away from those you love.

Thank you, sis.

I'm glad, though.

I travelled here and got to meet a very special person,

Hugo.

Cheers to you.

Thank you so much for giving my brother a home.

After all, home is where the heart is.

-Right, Fabio? -Absolutely.

Cheers to the newlyweds!

Thank you all for coming.

Come give me a hug.

I got you now, Willy the Pooh.

One, two, three!

I beat her!

I did it!

Armando, I don't want to argue,

but I want you to be honest with me.

Why did Beatriz quit?

-What's going on with you two? -Stop, Marcela.

We went to Hugo's wedding to have a good time.

I don't want to argue. Please, stop.

I don't want to argue either,

but I'd like to know what's going on.

Why did she quit on you in the first place?

Plus, she's very rude. She doesn't respect me.

I told her not to go in,

but she defied my orders and went in anyway.

I don't want to talk about this. Can we drop it?

No, we'll talk about it now.

You told me you'd trust me and not hide anything,

so tell me why Beatriz quit!

Because we were robbed.

That's why Beatriz quit.

-What? -Yeah.

Robbed of all the money we set aside

for the fabrics in the new collection.

Beatriz felt guilty and that's why she quit.

There, now you know.

Betty, you're right.

I let you and my family down.

Honesty really is the best policy

and it's time for me to tell the truth.

I heard you got flowers.

Yes.

From a V&M supplier.

Yes, they're a thank you for a deal we closed.

I'll put them in a vase with water so they won't wilt.

Thank you.

They smell great!

You can tell they're the good kind.

How do those people know our address?

I don't know.

I think the company gave it to them.

Demetrio, stop asking questions.

It's the first time anyone sends her flowers.

I hope it wasn't for something your coworker did.

No.

By the way, how's everything going at V&M?

Fine, just fine.

Just regular problems, but I'm figuring them out.

Your boss treats you well, though.

Yes, yes.

Mr. Armando is very nice.

I have to go to sleep. I have to get up early.

Yes, let's let her rest.

She has a lot of responsibilities.

Plus, her job is so far away.

Let's go.

-See you later, princess. -Good night.

-I love you! -Love you too!

Love you more!

All right, so how does it feel to lose?

You didn't last five minutes.

I let you win.

You think?

Don't be a sore loser.

What's wrong?

Wilson...

Are you okay?

I almost kicked the bucket!

I almost died.

Thank you, Sandra.

You're the best.

You know, I love being around you.

I mean, I can be myself around you.

I'm not even embarrassed to choke in front of you.

We should do this again.

-What are you doing tomorrow? -Nothing.

I don't have plans. Why?

You do now.

You and me, tomorrow at eight.

What do you mean? Like a date?

If that's what you want to call it, sure.

Hey...

...are you going to eat your quesadilla?

No, you eat it.

You should've let her quit.

Tell me why she went to the reception.

So you could rehire her? How pathetic.

That's where you're wrong.

I asked her not to leave.

Beatriz had nothing to do with the robbery.

What?

If it wasn't one of her great ideas, whose was it?

Mine! I swear it was mine.

I was looking for better prices and authorized

the purchase with those suppliers that no one knows.

I don't believe you. You're defending her.

No!

You're not that naïve.

I was! I swear!

Beatriz didn't want to give them the money.

She had nothing to do with this.

Another one of St. Beatriz's noble deeds.

Know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to have her photo enlarged

and placed at the building entrance

with a banner reading, "Employee of the Month."

Actually, no. Employee of the Year!

Stop drinking, Marcela.

Nobody can know about this,

not my parents and not your brother.

If you want me to trust you so much,

this is a good time to prove you're on my side.

If they find out, they'll take the presidency from me.

-Armando... -What?

That was a multimillion-dollar loss.

I know that.

I swear I'll get it back, though.

I'm going to trust Mr. Armando.

He's not a bad person, he's just a dreamer,

and I'm going to help him make his dream come true.

He promised to be honest.

I may not be the woman he chose to marry,

but I'll be the woman who supports him unconditionally...

...with his professional goals.

When I founded this company 35 years ago,

we had a lot of serious problems.

I always slept easy, though, and do you know why?

Because I was clean, transparent, and honest.

I don't know why you're telling me this.

I've never done or thought of doing anything shady.

Son, the opportunities will arise.

They present themselves when you need them most.

You have to learn to reject them or you'll be in trouble.

Patricia is already 20 minutes late.

Do you think something happened to her?

No, I doubt it.

Her last post was at 2:45.

She's probably sleeping. She drank a lot last night.

I would've liked for her to be here.

She's supposed to be your wedding planner.

Marce, how come you don't have anything planned

for your wedding yet?

Not even the basics. Invitations, a venue...

Is everything all right with Armando?

Of course.

We're just very busy with work

and don't have time for anything.

I'm sure.

When V&M first started out,

it was like our husbands were married to the company

and not to us.

How's everything?

What ever happened with Armando's assistant?

Roberto told me she was at the reception.

Letty?

No, it's Betty.

If you only knew everything that's going on with her.

Can you believe...

What?

Nothing.

Let's not waste our time talking about a lowly assistant.

I won't give her any importance.

Well said.

Let's begin.

I want to leave everything set with your wedding.

Look at this yummy, flaky, golden-brown corner.

Wait!

Oh, Sandra.

Oh, no!

I just dropped 500 calories.

That's too bad, Sandra.

These are Sofia's empanadas.

By the way, where is she?

Gross!

That reeks of butter!

What's her problem?

Where'd Ms. Skin and Bones go?

I don't know.

To the bathroom?

She's acting weirder than usual.

Come here, come here.

Don't move.

Turn around.

Sorry, but were you hiding from me?

Me? No.

Why would I? Should I fear for my life?

Yes! Because you lied to me!

You went someplace else with that harpy

and didn't give me the address!

Sofi, violence is a last resort.

I did take her out but to another restaurant.

I'm free of any blame because she changed the place

at the last minute.

That b...

Hi, honey.

Hi.

What's all that?

Your mother's idea. You know her.

I couldn't turn her down.

Look, here are some samples for our wedding plans.

Our wedding plans?

Yes, and we're running out of time.

Remember that we agreed to be married

by the next board meeting and the date is approaching.

Those are tablecloth samples.

A thousand guests, can you imagine?

What? Don't you like them?

I've got more colors here.

We don't have to pick those.

-No, honey, it's not that. -I like...

Yes, I like them, but it's not about the wedding.

The thing is, you and I aren't getting married.

What do you mean we're not getting married?

Are you breaking up with me, Armando?

No, no, darling.

I just mean we're not getting married

how you always dreamt you would.

My dream is to marry you.

Mine too.

I swear it's mine too, but you're aware

of my financial situation,

and my money's all tied up in the company.

Paying for all this right now would be outrageous.

-No it wouldn't! -Yes it would!

The wedding's one thing, the company's another.

We can't postpone it just because one collection

didn't turn out well.

That's not the reason.

I want to give you the wedding you deserve

and for you to invite the whole world,

to invite your friends and family.

You said you understood and that you'd support me.

I don't know.

This is something I never imagined you saying.

Are you sure it's only for financial reasons?

Yes, what other reason could there be?

Look, Armando, if you're getting cold feet

about marrying me, just tell me and don't waste my time.

No, darling, of course not.

I'd marry you tomorrow if it were up to me,

but I just can't.

Believe me, I want you to have the best of the best.

Or would you rather us get married at a courthouse

with no guests or anything?

The both of us deserve something great,

a ceremony that people will talk about for months,

don't you think?

A courthouse? No way.

Your mother would die.

Darling, I want you to have the wedding of your dreams.

I want to picture you in white,

walking toward the altar and toward me,

surrounded by the best floral arrangements.

Nothing but the best, honey.

I'm just asking for more time.

How much?

A couple of months, that's all.

I promised we'd get married before the end of the year,

and that's what's going to happen.

I will keep that promise.

Okay, fine.

Betty, what's your problem?

Are all your brain cells there for show or what?

When did you stop thinking

and start acting like some love-struck dummy?

What's wrong with you?

Stop bothering me about that because it isn't true.

I've got a job to do.

Only two kinds of people would do what you just did:

someone popular or an idiot, and you're neither.

You're a nerd.

The only excuse would be you having temporary dementia.

That your hormones affected your brain.

You don't get it!

I did it because the sole purpose for creating BAR

was to protect V&M, which is what I'm doing.

Sure, Betty. V&M or your boss?

Mr. Armando this and Mr. Armando that.

At least admit it, Betty!

Yes!

I'm in love. So what? What's your problem?

I don't owe anybody any explanations,

especially not you.

Fine, Betty.

Oh no...

It's fine.

Well, you I do. A little.

You're my best friend.

But you can be very judgmental

and you don't understand me.

It's for your own good.

It's in the Best Friends Handbook.

I don't want you to suffer,

but you're compromising all kinds of ethics.

Professional and personal.

You're falling in love with a man who's getting married!

What part of that don't you understand?

That doesn't speak well of you.

No, Betty.

Come back.

Betty!

What?

Did you eat the whole cow?

Almost.

Who'd have thought that a girl with that kind of svelte figure

had the capacity to eat as much as she did?

No, no, no.

And that wasn't enough for you.

French champagne?

No, I swear I drank water.

Unbelievable.

How is it...?

Give me my change.

Your...?

The change left over from the bill, fork it over.

You're not taking the additional expenses

into consideration.

Tip, valet parking, a bribe.

In fact, you owe me $30 I paid out of my own pocket.

-What? -How are you?

Why are you so upset, Mrs. Sofia?

Know what?

You shouldn't furrow your brow

because you could get even more wrinkles,

and you have enough as it is.

Bye, Giovis.

Get out of here!

It's great to see you lighting up the hallways here,

What about me?

Oh no.

Oh no.

I'm going to die.

Lord, whatever I did, I swear I won't do it again.

Just don't kill me like this.

What an unglamorous death.

How's it going?

Did you bring everything I asked?

All that and more.

I brought you the hot dates and dirty nights kit.

Shh, shut up!

I don't want anyone finding out.

Why not? It's not like we know the guy.

No, you don't.

I just don't want anyone to know.

What if it doesn't work?

Of course it will. You'll be unrecognizable, girl.

You'll see.

-Is that a dress? -Yes.

No, I've never worn one.

There's a first time for everything.

Welcome, sexy girl in a dress.

Here, Sofi, so you can compare warehouse inventory.

Ladies! Ladies!

Sorry!

I've got huge news!

I know everything.

I've got quite the revelation.

Breathe.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Breathe.

What happened?

That blonde toothpick is throwing up in the restroom.

She probably caught a virus that's going around.

Be careful.

Virus?

Something else is going on.

My sixth sense is telling me.

Enough, girls. No more gossiping.

That's how rumors start.

It's not a rumor.

I heard her throwing up with my own ears.

Patricia's late.

To work.

Yeah, pretty much every day.

No, she missed her period!

Patricia is pregnant!

No way!

Goodbye, my princess of the spring.

Lunch not agreeing with you?

Something like that.

Sofia wants to tear me to shreds

because I spent all her money.

It was to be expected. You disrupted her plan.

No, but I had zero bad intentions.

What can I do if Jenny changed the plan?

Besides, I did my part, and now I'm broke.

Let that be a lesson.

Gold-diggers take advantage of men.

Giovas, what will you eat if you don't have any food?

I don't know.

I was thinking of ordering poorhouse soup

with a side of disappointment tacos

and some bitterness for dessert.

Well...

I can share my lunch with you if you like.

Let's see.

Eggs.

Really?

Of course not, dummy!

You deserve everything that happened to you.

Get out of here.

Get back to work.

Let's see what waste the bat left behind in her cave.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Didn't you quit?

No.

I don't remember taking a resignation letter

to Human Resources.

Now explain what you're doing here

going through my things.

I came because... Marcela asked me to, okay?

She needs the names of the suppliers.

Oh.

What else did Marcela ask for from you?

Nothing else.

Can you please give it to me?

No.

Tell Marcela that I'll make sure it gets to her

when I see her.

Now...

What a dump.

Try to understand.

How could that fool Giovas not put a stop to that snake?

I can just picture her ordering

the most expensive thing on the menu.

Unbelievable.

They spent more than all of us here spend combined

on Thanksgiving for our families.

Meanwhile, I'm making a pittance.

Not just you. All of us too.

Thank God tomorrow's payday.

Hold on.

Sofi, what did you expect?

All these opportunists and social climbers

are experts at spending other people's money.

Did you expect her to order bread and water?

No, no, no.

And if Giovas had said no, she would've just left.

Everything would've been fine if they'd remained

at the damn restaurant.

Now it's worse than ever.

Plus, now I have to pay for what happened to the boss' car.

Don't forget that the guy got in trouble for helping you.

That's true.

Besides, you know he doesn't have a penny to his name.

Poor Giovas.

Poor guy.

No!

Then why did he offer?

Oh, to show off in front of that tramp.

But he wouldn't have gotten mixed up in that by himself.

You pushed him into it and left him hanging.

-That's not cool. -It's not.

I admit it.

I'm going to take responsibility for my actions.

Yes, I admit that I was wrong.

But while today was me,

yesterday was you,

and the day before that was you.

Raise your hand if I've never once helped you.

So I ask that you help me pay

for what happened to the boss' car.

Wow.

Fine.

Only because I love you.

Three bucks. Keep the change.

You broke?

Want my credit card?

Mr. Armando.

Yes?

Something happened with Patricia Fernandez.

What now?

She was going through my things like an FBI agent.

She said Marcela sent her.

Marcela?

Why would she care about what's in your office?

She wanted to know who our new fabric suppliers were.

What?

They did a bang-up job.

You can't even tell it was in an accident.

With what the mechanic charged,

I thought I was getting a new car.

The price of going out with a princess, buddy,

is an arm and a leg.

Yes, but you have yourself to blame.

Why'd you let her drive?

Sure, I could've been smarter, but who'd have thought

that a woman with those kinds of qualities

wouldn't know how to drive a top of the line vehicle?

I'd agree with you if this car were yours.

But it's the boss'.

You should've taken precautions.

All right, enough. What's done is done.

I've even forgotten it.

The important thing is that Sofia doesn't know

it was Jenny who crashed the car.

But I've got some money coming in to assuage my pain.

It must be really bad, huh?

-Does it hurt? -What?

What was the purpose, Marcela?

Why'd you send Patricia to snoop around

in Beatriz's office?

What's wrong with you?

Why are you treating me like this?

I told you everything last night.

You didn't have to send Patricia to do something so awful.

I beg your pardon?

I would never send Patricia or any other employee

to do something like that.

So now you're lying to me?

Beatriz caught her red-handed, and she told her everything.

Of course Beatriz is involved.

Don't you see that you're being set-up?

And of course you believed her

because you're here throwing it in my face.

Let's do this.

From now on, whatever you want to know, ask me directly, okay?

This isn't over.

We're going to resolve this right now.

What are you going to do?

Marcela?

Of course!

That fool Giovanny wanted to woo that viper

at my expense!

And like a dummy, I have to pay for it.

Did I tell you or did I tell you?

He's no saint.

He wanted to pretend to be a millionaire

for that slut.

Exactly!

So he also took her to the most expensive restaurant

so he could get in her pants?

Yes!

You don't know what other reasons he had for doing it.

Other reasons my foot!

I want to die, but first, I'm going to kill him!

No, Sofia!

Why didn't you quit?

All you do is make false accusations.

Patricia Fernandez was here.

Stop lying.

Stop badmouthing Patricia, me, and everyone else.

It happened, and I'll say it in front of her and anyone

that she was going through my things.

-I believe you. -What are you doing?

I'm sick of it. You'll see.

Look, Beatriz, if this goes any further,

I swear I'll close every door in New York to you,

so think carefully about what you're doing, you hear me?

My conscience is clear, Ms. Marcela.

Get over here.

I don't feel well.

Stop being ridiculous, Patricia.

I want you to clear everything up right now.

Were you going through Betty's things or not?

Patricia, answer a question for me.

Did I send you to do anything unethical?

Answer me.

Answer her.

Hey, Patricia!

Hold on, don't try it out yet.

Let's put some insulating tape on there.

I don't need hundreds of volts running through me.

I bet you don't even know how!

Look.

Hold on.

Busted, you sewer rat!

You talking about me?

No, you.

Me? Why, Sofi?

Violence is a last resort.

Why are you mad at me?

Because I know everything.

I know you let that home-wrecking harlot

drive the car.

That's why you crashed.

No!

How can you think I'd play around

with something so serious?

I was the one driving.

Don't lie or you'll be picking up your teeth

all over Brooklyn.

You admitted it to him.

Me? No!

Sofi, why don't we have this conversation someplace else?

I'm detecting a bit of anger coming from you.

No kidding, Agatha Christie!

You've got some nerve, Giovanny.

Enough. Leave him alone.

Don't get your hands dirty with this trash.

Fine.

I realize that all this human jackal is doing

is getting money out of me.

You know what, though?

Let's see how things go now

with your little gluttonous girlfriend.

Let's get out of here, girls.

Oh, Giovas.

I'm so happy your little saint act is over for you.

You know something?

We were all going to help you out with the car and dinner

but not anymore, Don Juan!

And get out of my work station.

Both of you!

Uh-huh.

Get out!

Marce, I feel like I'm a goner.

Everything is spinning.

With everything you ate and drank at Hugo's wedding,

let's just hope your fainting is nothing more.

But I didn't even drink that much.

The wine wasn't even that good.

Tell me the truth, Patricia.

Did Beatriz catch you going through her things

in her office?

I did it for you, Marcela.

I went in there to investigate what's going on.

It's not normal that woman is stuck to Armando

like a squid.

No, Patricia. Hold it in!

Go to the restroom!

No!

It passed.

I swear that all I want is to protect you from that gargoyle.

How could she quit one day and be back the next

as if nothing happened?

Armando got really upset at me.

I had no idea what he was talking about.

Look, stay out of it. Please help me.

I don't want any more problems with Armando.

Okay. Fine.

Just don't scold me anymore.

Give me some love.

Fan me.

Enough, Patricia.

-Please fan me. -Enough!

Have you been practicing?

I was at a wedding in New York last night.

And now you're in Miami?

I'm sure you had a very important reason for coming.

Like Armando.

Armando was here?

It appears he had a serious issue with a broker.

Tell me more.

Patricia, it's me.

I want to know about Armando's trip to LA

and about the problem he had with the broker.

What do you have for me?

I can't talk right now because too many people can...

Who are you talking to

and what do you mean too many people around?

Could you be talking to Daniel Valencia?

Answer me.

Are you talking to Daniel?

Of course not.

I'm talking to my doctor.

I've been feeling really bad lately.

Know what I think it is?

Work-related stress.

You stress me out.

Oh, poor you.

Forgive me.

From now on, we'll give you special treatment,

but I'd love to talk to your doctor.

Hello? Daniel?

-That's illegal. -What's wrong with you?

Daniel?

I can't hear a thing.

Armando, she fainted today.

She obviously doesn't feel well.

Why are you interested in finding out

who our suppliers are?

Why the hell were you going through Betty's things?

I wanted to help because you made me a secretary.

I want to help like that uggo does!

You're lying!

You've betrayed us every step of the way.

I know you were behind what happened to Betty's computer.

Mata didn't act alone.

Why don't you call Daniel and tell him

we've already got a deal for the fabric?

Calm down.

Why must you always bring my brother into everything?

Enough, Armando.

Armand, what you've got is chronic stress.

Don't worry. I understand.

I can recommend a multivitamin that I take.

It'll make you feel better.

Fine. You know what?

You're going to slip up, because people like you

always slip up.

And when I have the proof, I'm going to fire you.

Armando called me to ask about Eduardo Lopez,

a broker in the city.

Armando and Ricardo

were supposed to be in LA at a fabric convention.

They were both here, and I hope they didn't

do business with him, because he appears to be a conman.

What's the name of his business?

Thank you so much for defending me from Armando.

I'm sorry to tell you but that man has problems.

He needs medical help. You saw it yourself.

Everything that happened is your fault.

I'm done saving your skin.

Here I am, fighting with Armando again.

I don't understand what you were doing

in Beatriz's office.

What do you mean?

Trying to help by showing that I'm capable too.

Oh, please.

Look, Patricia Fernandez, I want the truth.

What do you have to do with my brother?

Did Daniel ask you to do anything?

Marcela, how could you insinuate something like that?

I would never betray you.

You're my best friend and I love you.

I'd never do something like that.

That would only occur to someone sick in the head

like Armando, who needs medical attention.

Like I said, all I was doing was trying

to make an appointment with the doctor.

You have to take control of your life.

You can't go on like this. You're not well.

You have to have a plan or some goals.

Something.

I know. Believe me, I know.

I know I have to work on being a better person.

But how, when everyone's against me?

Stop playing the victim.

You know what?

You're right.

From here on out,

you're looking at a new Patricia Fernandez.

I just need one last favor.

What is it?

Can you lend me money?

Get out of my office.

Just a couple of bucks.

Get out, Patricia.

I don't want to look at you.

Goodbye.

Marce!

I don't want any trouble.

Nobody does.

I just want to know what happened to them

I don't know.

Those people disappeared overnight

and took everything, even the cables.

Have others come around asking for them?

Yes, many of their clients.

Those people disappeared without coming through for anyone.

They defrauded many people.

You know the name of any of those companies?

The name of anyone in particular?

No?

No.

It's nice to see you at your work station, Beatriz.

For a moment yesterday I thought you were abandoning us.

Yes, me too, but Mr. Armando needs me.

But you don't need him.

You're a very smart woman.

In fact, didn't Daniel offer you a job?

Why'd you come back to V&M?

Yesterday you asked me to stay and now you want me to leave?

No, no, it's a pleasure to have you here.

I just get the impression

you've got more personal reasons

to remain by Armando's side.

Or am I mistaken?
