Original subtitles

May I?

Ricky... we need to talk.

When a woman says we need to talk, it's always bad news.

What happened?

No, that's not always the case.

I think you're actually going to be very happy.

I've decided that... I'm not going to marry you

and that I'm going to raise this baby on my own.

-What? -Yes. That's right.

I don't want you to marry me because you have to.

You obviously don't love me.

Patricia, please! What are you talking about?

Whoever said you needed love to get married?

See?

I know it'll be very hard for me to raise the baby on my own,

but I prefer that to raising it in a loveless household.

Therefore, it's going to be my baby and me.

Above all, I get to keep my dignity.

-What are you laughing at? -Have you gone mad?

You hit your head too hard yesterday.

What the hell are you talking about?

Let me spell it out for you.

You are never, ever going to see me again.

I'm going somewhere far, far away.

I wish you happiness, even if it's without me.

She rejected me.

Patricia Fernandez rejected me.

Oh, Betty.

If you really thought of me as your best friend,

you would take me to the show.

Nico, I don't want to be mean. I just can't.

Especially not after what happened today.

You almost ruined everything during our meeting with the lawyers.

By the way, what did they say?

They're set on charging us an extra five percent.

They need more.

-More? -Uh-huh.

-That's not right. -Of course it isn't.

Especially since they know or they're on to

the shady business you and Mr. Armando are involved in.

There's no shady business, but you know what?

We can't make them angry. They know too much.

We have to tell them we'll give them an extra 10%.

-10%? -10%, not a penny more.

I ironed it very carefully and it hardly smells of mothballs.

-Right, Nicolas? -Let me see.

A brisk walk and a little perfume

will get rid of the scent.

I forgot I'd put it away with the winter clothes.

It's very elegant. It's real velvet.

You're going to look beautiful.

Thanks.

I'll go get you some earrings and shoes to go with it.

Okay.

I feel dizzy after catching a whiff of your dress.

If you wear that, you'll look right out of the 1800s.

I have to wear it. She looked so excited.

I don't want to hurt her.

Besides, it's not like I'm going to look bad.

I always do.

I'm just practicing for Halloween.

The makeup must look natural.

Remember that the name of the show is Rebirth.

I'll be right back.

Look who's here! Armie!

-Don't tell me. -What?

Are you here to meet the models

or to say hello and to sure I haven't taken a job offer

-from one of your competitors? -I'm in no mood.

I came to see if you need anything.

I do, now that you mention it.

I need a raise and a paid trip to Europe.

Yes, of course.

I see you're starting to twitch.

You probably want to know if Valentina's ready, don't you?

-No. -I know you.

I came to check on everything

and to see if you and the models are here.

You're all essential.

Please cherish Marce, Armie.

I don't want this to be the day of my successful show

and your death.

Oh, you'll like the sound of this.

Valentina, could you come down from Mount Olympus?

-Armando! -Valentina!

-How are you? -It's so nice to see you!

You look more beautiful than ever.

Thank you so much for agreeing to walk on our show.

Oh, please. I couldn't disappoint Hugo.

-He's my favorite designer. -Did you see that?

The hair on his head stood up when you kissed me.

He's electric.

Did you bring your mariachi with you?

My mariachi? No, he couldn't make it.

He'll be watching us closely. He sends you both his regards.

-All right. -Send him my regards.

Since he's not here, I could take you out on the city.

If you need anything, I'm here for you.

How kind of you! I love the idea.

We can have Marcela join us. You're still together, right?

The four of us could go out. You're invited too.

Yes, the four of us. Marcela and I...

Are engaged to be married. He gave her a ring too.

He's taken.

-You're getting married? -Yes, yes.

You're making her dress, right?

Of course!

Best of luck on the show. Knock 'em dead as usual.

Thank you!

You're a beautiful goddess.

-Do you know Custo Barcelona? -Of course.

He's a friend and a design genius.

Do my designs for Rebirth remind you of him?

Watch the door, Andrea. See you soon.

-Hello, beautiful. -Darling.

-How's it going? -Marvelously.

Everything's under control.

Even Hugo is feeling calmer.

I made sure he had one of my magical natural remedies.

You could use one too. Do you want one?

Or two, or ten.

-See you later. -All right, dear.

The king and queen of the night!

You look as beautiful and elegant as always.

As my guests of honor, I have reserved

the most special seats in the house for you.

What do you think of this madness

Hugo and Armando thought up?

This isn't insane. They're betting to win.

This is bound to be a sure hit.

Have a seat and enjoy what will be an amazing night.

I'll send some drinks your way so you can celebrate.

Thanks you.

And I'll come back to tend to you like you deserve.

Thank you.

-She seems very excited, huh? -And sincere.

Fingers crossed.

To our son.

Cross your fingers.

Wow!

There are photographers over there.

Girls, let's take a picture.

Let's find somewhere to sit. I see a spot over there.

Thank you.

This is so exciting!

Isn't Inesita going to sit with us?

No, she's probably going half crazy backstage.

We'll probably see her after the show.

-Know whom I haven't seen? -Who?

The mother of the year. Betty's here.

I'm fine here. Thanks.

Good Lord, she looks like an altar boy.

Sofia, don't be like that.

Hi, girls.

Hi!

-Oh... -Where are you going?

What?

-Let me see. -That's not perfume, is it?

-Is it you? -Oh, no!

Does it smell that much of mothballs?

-A little. -No!

Don't lie to her. Don't be like that.

You smell like my grandma's socks.

Come to the bathroom with me. I'll help you with that.

Smile and be nice.

Do what you can. So that's not a new perfume?

Thank you.

How's everything?

Like it usually is.

Are you still mad?

Mad? Me?

No. Why would I be mad?

You only gave V&M to Beatriz on a silver platter

and handed over your freedom in a letter

where you take full responsibility for everything.

Oh, and you also screwed me over.

If you go down, I'll go down as your accomplice.

So why should I be mad?

You really don't trust Betty?

Nope.

I don't trust her or the people around her.

You've given her too much power

and you've made her believe she's irreplaceable.

That's great and all, but she isn't.

When you least expect it,

she'll show her true colors and screw us over.

You refuse to see it, though. You've been blinded by her.

Relax, Marcelo.

You're acting like a hysterical and jealous woman

who's jealous of Betty. Come on!

Stop lecturing me. I don't like it.

I'm not well. I'm very stressed out.

What happened this morning really upset me

and my situation with Patricia is making everything worse.

Can you believe she rejected me?

What? She rejected you?

-Why? -Yes! I don't know.

This was my first time trying to act like a decent guy.

I even asked her to marry me.

-You proposed? -Yes, yes!

-What? -I did!

Just saying the word marriage makes me breakout in hives.

It was my first time being vulnerable in front of a woman.

Not just any woman. Patricia Fernandez.

And she says she won't accept because I don't love her.

Of course I don't love her! But she's having my baby.

Can you believe that?

You're leaving? What do you mean you're leaving?

Yes, Marce, I'm leaving.

I have to start a new life and think of my baby.

I don't understand. Where will you go?

I don't know yet, but it'll be somewhere far away

where the rumors of those who hate, abhor, and envy me

can't affect me all the time.

When did you decide this?

I started to consider it when I found out I was pregnant.

Oh, I don't know. You're rushing into this.

Are you okay?

No, Marce! I'm not okay!

But I will be. You know I'm very strong.

It is what it is. I'm going to be a single mom.

It'll be okay.

You said I had to find my way and I think I did.

My baby.

What do you think?

I don't see your reasoning, but I'm happy for you.

You seem very confident. I'm really going to miss you.

You might leave somewhere far,

but I'll always be here for you...

and my niece or nephew.

I'm really going to miss you.

All right.

-We can't toast to that. -Let's go.

Tonight you'll see Hugo Lombardi's best work.

Tonight will be... legendary.

Excuse me. See you later.

Betty, why are you here all by yourself?

Hello.

Sofia's in the restroom. I'm waiting for her.

Tonight was possible thanks to you.

Come with me to the VIP area.

No.

I'd much rather stay here with my friends.

I must insist. Come on.

No, it's better this way.

Huh?

I have to keep my distance.

We can't arouse suspicions. I'm just your assistant.

Good thinking, Betty. You look... very elegant.

Thanks.

Sofia.

Cheers!

You're beautiful.

Oh!

This color really suits you.

Excuse me.

What is it now, Patricia?

-Hi. -Hello.

Are you going back to your old ways?

Does your word mean nothing?

It does mean something.

I have everything ready for you to leave after the show.

-What do you make of that? -That's good,

but I still don't know if the apartment will be in my name.

Of course it will.

I'll give you everything you want.

Under one condition, that is. You have to leave today.

That's all I ask. What do you say?

-Yes! -Okay.

-Okay. -Cheers.

Patricia, you and I have lots to talk about.

-Hey, Patricia's busy. -Let go of me!

You're drunk.

Who asked you, gangster? Get out of here.

Are you going to kick me out?

Are you?

-What, you clown? -Thank you!

I've been waiting for an excuse to beat you up

-since we were kids. -Oh, yeah?

I don't get into fight with drunks or idiots like you.

Where are you manners? What's that all about?

You're ridiculous!

-Stop! -Leave. You're drunk.

Enough!

That's enough, you two.

This is the most important runway show of the year.

If you do this, Margarita and Roberto will be furious.

Enough!

I'll talk to you later. Stop embarrassing yourself.

I'll be right back. Enough!

-Move it! -Idiot!

Have you gone mad? You can't fight Daniel!

You're about to make the biggest mistake of your life.

I won't let you carry out a whim that will hurt my child.

You want to get married in church, don't you?

Don't you?

Book the largest or smallest church in the city.

I don't care.

Ricardo Calderon will marry you so your baby has a father.

Oh, no.

You can't do this to me. You can't say that now.

Do you know how long I've waited to hear you say that?

Patricia, what's wrong? Are those tears of joy?

No!

Patricia! Patricia!

Hold on.

So that bleached blond, that thorn in our side is leaving?

-What do you mean? -You heard it.

I heard her tell Ms. Marcela,

"I have a new life. I'm leaving."

-Where to? -I don't know.

She said she was raising her baby alone.

Alone?

What a liar!

-Why do you say that? -No, not you.

Excuse me.

Wait for me.

You two are ready.

Inesita, let me know when Valentina is ready.

Hugo!

Fabio, look at this masterpiece.

All of my childhood dreams are coming true.

Stop! Please stop!

Why are you pestering me? What's wrong?

The divine Hugo needs to know Hideous Betty is out there.

Oh yeah? That troll showed up?

Yes, and who knows what she's planning.

The show will be so successful that I wish her no ill.

Hugo, you should--

He should relax and enjoy his night.

Your talent alone will make tonight a success.

-Thank you. -See for yourself.

Valentina, thank you for coming down from Mt. Olympus

to walk amongst us mortals.

No, thank you.

This collection will immortalize you.

No, you will.

You look divine.

It's a shame the mariachi you keep for a boyfriend

won't get to see you.

He's a lucky guy.

You've awakened things in me I thought were long dead.

Oh, Hugui! You're making me nervous!

I think I gave you too much.

See?

We have nothing to worry about.

Except being late.

Let's get you and the other models ready.

I'm so nervous.

I'm never giving you that pill again.

Mr. Daniel, I need to talk to you.

Call my secretary, Bertha.

It's something very important.

The show's about to start.

Thank you all for being here.

Tonight is a very special night for V&M.

Our designer, Hugo Lombardi,

created a collection inspired by rebirths.

And like he himself has said before,

tonight, V&M is reborn like the phoenix.

With you now... Rebirth.

-Lovebug? -Hmm?

Dinner's ready.

I'm not hungry.

Oh!

Are you sure?

All right, a little.

But since I'm on a diet.

When you're good, mama will give you what you want.

In the mean time, you can't touch me and you know it.

You can't touch me.

Stop playing with me... or I'm going to go crazy.

Good, I want you to go crazy.

No, that's not good.

You're also hurting me?

-Sorry, lovebug. -You're not sorry!

You did that on purpose. What do you want from me?

Something very simple. The house.

I can't afford to buy a new house.

Are you serious, lovebug?

When compared to this shoebox, your ex lives in a mansion.

Why?

She has a good job.

And I bet she keeps plenty of money in her savings accounts.

Jenny.

Besides... don't you think I deserve better?

Like a new house?

-Don't you? -Yes, yes.

I'll find the key...

Are you going to get me the house?

Yes, yes.

-Are you sure? -Yes, I will.

Oh, lovebug!

I'll give you whatever you want!

I'd like to thank everyone whose talent and creativity

made tonight a success.

Hugo, thank you for proving you're a creative genius once again.

Mom, Dad, thank you for trust me at the helm of V&M.

I'm especially grateful to a woman who's been a key part in all this.

No obstacle has stopped her

and she's remained by my side unconditionally

to make sure V&M continues to grow.

She is the love of my life, Marcela Valencia.

-Betty, is everything okay? -Uh-huh, yes. Why?

No reason.

I just hadn't noticed how you behave around Mr. Armando.

You blush.

No, Sofia. That's not true.

You haven't stopped watching him since the show started.

And you left crying after he mentioned Ms. Marcela.

No, no. That's not it at all.

-Are you in love with him? -No!

No, no!

He's engaged and about to get married.

He's my boss!

He's also very attractive, kind,

and you work closely together.

It's not that big of a leap.

I'm here for you. You can trust me.

Tell me the truth, Betty.

Are you in love with Mr. Armando?

No, of course not.

Mr. Armando is very kind and... I can't believe you!

I respect Mr. Armando,

and I can't believe you're asking me that.

Who do you think I am?

This new collection supersedes the previous one greatly.

Especially due to your selection of fabrics.

Yes, we learned our lesson.

You can learn a lot more from your mistakes

than from being right. Remember the 80s?

A failure can set a better precedent than a success.

After seeing this collection,

I can tell you that we'll be doing business together.

Yes, we will.

I'd like to join your fan club, Armando.

I was pleasantly surprised by you tonight.

You managed to change people's minds about V&M.

I haven't executed my plans yet,

but I'm certain that tonight I took a giant leap forward.

That's right.

You can count on me for future launches.

Several of the guests want to go into business with you.

Roberto, Margarita, congrats.

Your son will lead V&M into a new era.

Tonight was amazing.

In the mean time, I'd like to propose a toast.

To the future of V&M and it's new president Armando Mendoza.

Cheers!

Patricia!

What is it, Daniel?

Come with me.

Let go!

I won't play your games.

Everything's ready, just like you asked.

Here's the deed to the property in Malibu, the deed to the car,

and the bank account information.

I texted you the plane ticket

and since I know you don't have a ride to the airport,

my driver's waiting outside.

-What's with you? -Excuse me?

Can't you see this is private?

I'm going to the restroom, sir.

-Go on, then. -Can't I go to the restroom?

-Yes, you can. -Excuse me.

Here.

-What is it? -It's just that...

It's just that... I'd love to go, but I can't.

-What do you mean? -I can't take this because...

I'm not pregnant.

-There's no baby. -What do you mean?

You said you were this afternoon.

-What happened? -I can explain.

We can talk and...

Patricia, have you been lying to me all along?

You're not pregnant?

I never want to see you again.

-No, wait. -Don't touch me.

And just so you know,

I never want to see you at V&M again.

What?

You can't turn me down.

I asked you to marry me

and that's something I've never...

...asked anyone to do.

I want to die!

Lovebug! Stop!

Are we okay or not?

Really?

Yeah, but you have to understand

that what you're asking me to do is hard.

My children live in that house. I can't sell it, lovebug.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Yeah.

And I'd hate to be unfair, so I won't bring it up again.

Thanks.

I think I'll take the casting call I got from Miami.

I get to wear lingerie.

Don't worry, I'll only be gone for six months.

What? Six months?

Yes, but you know I love the beach.

Can you imagine me there, in lingerie?

And away from each other? For six months?

-No! -Yes, lovebug.

I do everything for you, but you don't do anything for me.

Do you know how many offers I've turned down

since I started at V&M? And do you know why?

-Why? -Because of you.

Because I want to be with you.

But if you don't care about my happiness,

then I won't care about yours.

Oh, I know!

You won't sell the house 'cause you're still in love with your ex.

-Oh, please! -You're in love with her!

-I'm not! -You are!

Then why can't you look at me?

I am looking at you! I'm not in love with Sofia!

Prove that you love me by selling the house.

Sell the house and prove to me that I'm your woman.

Okay?

Are you going to sell it?

Let's suppose that I do...

Here's what we'll do... Don't take any jobs in Miami.

Okay?

We'll see.

Why are you doing this to me?

I want to marry you! Isn't that what you wanted?

You were always going on and on about that.

Well...

I do want that...

but...

I'm not exactly what you'd call pregnant.

I was wrong.

I got the results telling me I wasn't pregnant a while ago.

What?

We can still get married.

It's okay.

It doesn't have to be at a church with flowers

and I don't have to wear white.

It can be in Las Vegas.

You're not pregnant?

Not yet.

Today's the best day of my life!

I'm starting to believe You do exist!

Thank you, thank you!

I'm not going to be a dad!

I'm not going to be a dad!

Daniel, congratulations!

This show won me over.

I didn't expect anything quite like this collection.

Making Armando president of V&M was the right thing to do.

Oh, yeah? You think so?

Not too long ago you thought he'd been conned.

Fortunately, that wasn't the case.

The quality of these fabrics is exquisite.

Armando told me they were bought here in New York.

Yes, they were bought here. Another one of his good moves.

Hopefully the market will remain in his favor.

There's a lot of competition out there.

Well, you have my full support.

I'm going to become one of V&M's main clients.

Good, but there's something you should know.

I don't think that's wise.

You're invited to my after-party and you...

What's the matter with you?

You're the VP of Business. You should be helping me.

Helping you? I am, bro.

You don't need my help.

The collection was a hit and I have the after-party ready.

Excuse us. What's the matter?

You're not well.

-I'm not. -No.

I'm fantastic, bro!

I'm not going to be a dad! I'm not going to be a dad!

Beatriz. Beatriz.

Relax, I'm not here to be mean.

On the contrary.

I want you to know that I'm very sorry.

What?

I'm sorry for your loss.

I take it from what you're wearing that you're going to a funeral.

Who died?

Good taste, sweetie.

Are you the one being buried? You stink.

Oh!

Your outfit reminds me of my aunt Cuca.

You'd fit right in in the 19th century.

What's wrong, Patricia?

There's been a tragedy, Marce!

It's dead!

Who? Your father?

No, Marcela! Not my dad!

My baby!

Oh, no!

I blame poverty, Marcela!

I had my tests done at a clandestine clinic

and they got my results wrong. I was never pregnant!

I'm going to sue them!

How did it happen?

I don't know, Marce!

I had another batch of tests done

and they came back negative.

I don't know what to do!

I don't know how I'm going to get past this loss.

Show me some love! Hold me, do something!

-Tell us already. -That peroxide blonde did what?

Relax.

False alarm, false alarm!

It was as fake as she is.

She lied.

She's just... fat.

She's a size 8.

I'm not her biggest fan,

but she seemed excited about the baby.

In any case, she's not leaving V&M.

Does Mr. Ricardo know?

Yes, she just told him.

And she couldn't hold back the tears.

My boss is taking it rather well, huh?

Look at him.

-He looks calm. -He doesn't look depressed.

-Hi. -What's up, Betty?

Girls, can I ask you a question?

-Yes! -Sure.

What is it?

Does this dress look terrible on me?

Um...

That light fixture sure is pretty.

Yes, it's nice. Want something to drink?

Oh, all right!

I don't know much about fashion,

but I think style is a very personal thing.

Yes.

Your style is... very personal.

Yes, and very old-fashioned.

Did that dress belong to your grandma or her grandma?

Oh, no. Sorry.

Wear whatever makes you comfortable.

Forget the rest.

And air your clothes out.

Huh?

Put it on a hanger and swing it around.

It won't smell of mothballs.

Okay. I'm leaving.

-No! -Where to?

I don't feel well. Bye.

Don't go!

You scared me!

Are you happy, fatso?

You ruined my life!

You'll see, though! I swear I'll make you pay!

I'll never forgive you for what you did.

Children are sacred to women and you messed with that!

This isn't a soap opera so stop talking like you're in one.

You weren't pregnant! It was all a lie!

You're a liar!

I'm not pregnant now, but I was going to be later on.

I was going to have other things first.

There was a house in Malibu and a monthly allowance.

I was going to have a brand new car

and a man who wanted to get married in a church,

but you ruined everything!

I'll have my revenge, you oversized behemoth!

-And it'll be terrible! -Oh, yeah?

What are you going to do, you snake?

Have me fired? How sad!

I'll remind you that I do have a husband who can support me.

You don't have any of that.

Having you fired is the least you deserve,

but no, I won't do that. I'll do something much worse.

What would happen if I start working

on getting all of your ugly friends fired?

Oh, I know! I'll start with Sofia!

Her husband left her and now she's divorced and broke.

What will the poor thing do?

She and her children will have to go live under a bridge.

Listen up, you boiled beanstalk!

If you hurt my friends,

I'll tell everyone you pretended to be pregnant

in order to fool Daniel Valencia and Ricardo Calderon.

Everyone will know!

It was you, you fat busybody!

You spread the rumor of my pregnancy!

And you took advantage of it.

You were shamelessly throwing yourself at those two!

We'll see how the Mendozas and Valencias feel about the news.

You'll have nowhere to crawl to after that.

You wouldn't do that.

Try me!

If you mess with my friends and me,

I'll tell everyone all of your dirty little secrets.

You decide.

Hey!

Nicolas, what are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

Your dad practically carried me into a cab

and ordered me to come pick you up

because this area of Manhattan is very dangerous.

Please don't be mad.

Do you know if my...?

What's wrong?

Have you been crying?

-Me? -Yes.

Crying? Why would I be crying?

I don't know.

Yes, I've been crying!

I'm the queen of idiots!

The gargoyle with a man?

What gargoyle?

What gargoyle?

Single man!
