Original subtitles

Wait, they want all the money in advance?

They need all the money up front

in order to operate at such low costs.

Okay, I'm gonna trust you.

-Betty. -Yes, sir?

I need you to transfer all of the money to Miami.

Are you absolutely sure?

Yes, please, Beatriz. Make the transfer.

No, Marce and Armand are super busy at V&M.

That's why they asked me to help them.

But I'm certain that this summer I can go to Côte d'Azur.

The French Riviera, dummy.

Matt and Connie invited me to a cruise around the Mediterranean on their boat.

Hey, can I call you later? I'm walking into work.

Alright. Bye.

What are you looking at, plumpy?

I'm talking to you, plumpy.

Oh, right! You're eating.

As usual.

Don't you get tired of grazing all day long?

If eating where an Olympic sport,

you'd have more medals than Michael Phelps.

Aren't you gonna say anything?

Are you going to clap back?

I'm talking to you, ham hock!

Huh?

I like your dress. It's too bad the fabric's cheap.

You're so weird.

Look, sir, last time I pawned this necklace,

you gave me $150 for it.

So why will you only give me 50 for it now?

What's going on? Why are you being so cheap?

Let me see the necklace.

Thank you.

This isn't the same necklace. It's smaller.

It's the same. It's 18 karat gold.

Weigh it, you'll see.

That's what I'm doing, but...

I can't give you more than a $100.

You must feel terrible about being such a horrible person

who takes advantage of people in need.

Thank you.

Fine. I'll take the $100.

And don't you dare sell my necklace.

I'll come back for it. It's a family heirloom.

10, 20, 40...

Patricia.

How elegant.

Wait, I know that dress.

Isn't it part of the batch we sold to...

I don't want those blabbermouths to hear you.

It looks great on you. And on you, too, Bertha.

It looks great on you both.

It's like you're wearing uniforms, but it's great.

Excuse me.

Thank you, sir.

You bought the same dress as me!

You copycat!

I never thought a refined lady like you

could buy clothes at Mogollon's Market.

Shut up!

Girls, this airhead shops at Mogollon's Market.

I thought you were a size 0, but looking at you...

you're definitely an 8.

You're getting fat.

No, I'm not. Damn you!

You're only saying that to make me feel bad.

-No, sweetie. -You are!

You're thrifty just like us, Patty.

You even shop at the same stores.

And don't lie.

You're not going to the Mediterranean.

You barely make enough money to fill the tank

of the car you can't even afford.

Poor thing.

Betty, did you make the transfer?

It's just that...

I still have doubts about this.

I hate it when you don't do what I say.

Make the transfer now!

Go on.

There you go.

Done. What were you so scared of?

We're handing over a lot of money to someone you don't even know.

Besides, I told you I looked into the guy

and I couldn't find any background information, no rating...

To put your mind at ease, I'm going to call Jack Anderson.

He knows them. I'll let you listen in.

Come on, Debbie Doubter.

Armando, it's great to hear from you.

How are you?

Great.

I'm working on a new collection that I know you're going to love.

I see us doing a lot of business together.

That's good to hear.

I heard from my daughter that Ricardo's here in Miami.

Yes, he's meeting with a broker

who offered us the fabrics we need at a lower cost.

He said you knew him. Can you tell me about him?

What's his name?

We all know each other here in Miami.

His name is...

Eduardo Lopez.

Eduardo Lopez...

He works for...

Miami International Broker Services.

Have you heard about him?

I have, but I haven't done business with him.

Doing business with someone you don't know is very risky,

especially if we're talking about a lot of money.

You didn't go through with it, did you?

Damn it, Ricardo!

Come in, Marce.

You're going all out, Hugo.

I loved everything, the décor, the cake...

You have such good taste.

Fabi and I deserve the best and that's what we're going to have.

Yes.

What about you? When's the big day?

Sooner than you think.

Hey, Marce, I want an update

on my fabrics and the new suppliers.

I want to know where we're at.

Whatever he's doing,

I promise he won't make the same mistake as last time.

-I'm trusting you. -Yes.

-Excuse me. -Come in, Mariana.

Thanks.

Do you know where Armando is?

I've called him and he's not answering.

Mr. Armando had an emergency and left the city.

He left? What do you mean?

Oh! I've this seen this before.

And the ending is terrible.

Beatriz, why did Armando go out of town?

And don't lie to me.

Something came up and he had to go to LA.

He didn't say anything about it this morning.

What was the emergency?

He has a very important meeting with a supplier.

It's business.

That's all I know.

Why the hell aren't you answering your phone?

You have a phone so I can call you.

Answer it from time to time!

-Bro, what are you doing here? -What am I doing here?

Armando! What a surprise!

How's Marcela?

She's doing great.

Is this why I sent you to Miami? This is your priority?

I'm gonna take a bubble bath.

I'll wait for you, baby.

That is... if you're allowed to.

Focus! I need you to have your wits about you.

You focus, bro. What's the issue?

The issue is that your friend's father

doesn't know the broker.

He's only heard of them.

You think that's good enough? We sent them millions.

Get dressed.

We're meeting this broker so he'll give me back my money.

-I need 30 minutes. -Get dressed!

-15 minutes. -Just get dressed!

Alright, alright.

A flower for the most beautiful rosebud in the garden.

If it were up to me, I'd give you the moon.

You're so sweet.

You know, men like you are so hard to find.

Such charming men who recite poems to women

and give us flowers.

You haven't seen anything yet, my little sweet pea.

If you'd let me,

I could show you the splendors of one thousand and one nights.

Just a thousand?

Two thousand, three thousand, a million, anything you like.

Right...

I'll show you if you let me.

How about we go to dinner? My treat.

I'll take you wherever you want to go.

Giovas, where will you get the money to take her to dinner?

Don't you realize she only likes expensive restaurants?

So, what do you say?

Would you like to delight your palate with a luxurious meal

while I dazzle you with the pleasures of my courtship?

I'd love to...

I'd love to say yes, but I can't.

Maybe tomorrow.

Or later, who knows?

Alright.

-Bye, honey. -Bye.

No, no, no.

She's so into me. Oh, yeah.

Hey, listen.

Can't you see that she's only into men with money?

I don't know if you've noticed,

but you don't have a pot to pee in.

The pot calling the kettle black.

What gives you the right to badmouth Jenny?

Aren't you the one looking for a man

to save you from your misery?

How can you say that?

It's the truth.

And let me tell you something, my dear front desk maiden,

not all women are selfish and cold-hearted.

There are plenty out there who actually care about

what's on the inside.

One of these days I'll find a woman who'll love me for me

and on that great day, I will quote the Terminator.

"Hasta la vista, baby."

Please call me, Mr. Armando. Please.

Call me, call me.

Beatriz, I wanted to talk to you...

Mr. Armando is away on a trip.

I said you, not Armando.

Oh, go ahead.

As a member of the board and a shareholder,

I want to see the company's financial report.

I'm sorry, Mr. Daniel, but I'm not authorized to do that.

Oh, please.

We both know the company's not doing well

after the fiasco with Hugo's collection.

Am I right?

If you say so...

Even the stupidest person in the world would notice.

You had to sell the collection at some flea market

and now you're working on another collection

and with more expensive fabrics?

Where are you getting the money to produce this collection?

We don't have a surplus to cover the expenses!

You're destroying this company, Beatriz.

I'm not falling for it.

You must have the wrong floor. There's nothing here.

It can't be. It was here!

There were pictures on the walls, furniture,

employees, computers...

What the hell happened?

We were ripped off, you idiot! We were ripped off!

I gave him all our money and he took off!

We're ruined, Ricardo!

No, no... no. This can't be happening.

How could you not see it was a lie?

I told you it looked real!

They had desks and furniture. They even had cute secretaries.

How was I supposed to know it wasn't real?

Oh, it was real. A real con!

I gave him millions! And that money isn't even ours!

Why did I ever listen to you? I should've listened to Betty.

She told me not to hand over that money,

but of course I listened to you!

And you're a dumbass who thinks with his other head!

Hey, hey!

So you're better than me

because I think with my other head?

You agreed to pay that lying, cheating...

Oh, you're right.

You're stupid and since I trusted you, I'm stupider!

Yes!

Why would you care about my family's company?

You've always lived the good life at our expense.

I'm a shareholder, too,

even though my name isn't in the company's...

-Enough! We need to call the police. -Yeah.

-They can't take our money. -Of course not.

We need to call our lawyers.

Our lawyers? We need a shark.

It's time to call you-know-who.

Sir, I don't see it that way.

V&M is a thriving company

and it can handle a small drop in sales.

Failure, Beatriz! Call it what it is!

Armando's first collection was a complete and utter failure,

not a small drop in sales.

That's a matter of perspective.

Mr. Armando was able to commercialize

Mr. Hugo's collection.

Yeah, but at Mogollon's Market!

A cheap store chain from New Jersey.

Please!

What sort of profit did we make off of this successful deal?

Was it enough to cover the costs of the new collection?

Was it or was it not?

I'll take your silence as my answer.

No. Sir, I'm neither silent nor answering.

I'm merely an assistant who the follows orders...

Well, I'm ordering you to show me

the company's financial report.

You didn't let me finish. I follow my boss' orders.

If you want to see the report, you'll have to wait

until the board meeting like everyone else.

I have to wait?

Hello, Mr. Armando. What a coincidence.

There's someone here who wants to talk to you.

It's Mr. Daniel. It's Mr. Armando. Here.

No, I don't want to talk to him.

Just tell him I want answers at the next board meeting.

I'll be expecting to see your mysterious report, you idiot!

I'm sorry, sir,

but I didn't know how else to get rid of him.

Betty, don't worry about that. I need your help right now.

E-mail me a copy of the receipt that proves we paid the broker.

Sir, you sound worried. Are you alright?

You were right. It was just as you feared.

We were conned.

But I'm going to get that money back.

Oh, crap.

I feel like a total loser, but I will fix this.

And don't tell anyone about this, especially not...

No one.

I'll fix this.

Just get me everything you can about these people.

We'll get out of this, sir. I'll get right on it.

I asked you to get me information

and you didn't do anything. What happened?

Well, here's the thing.

I couldn't find out the supplier's identity

because not even Marcela knows.

What I do know is that Ricardo went to LA

and that Armand is going to join him.

I already knew that, Patricia.

I need to know what they're doing in LA, with who,

and especially with what money.

Don't worry. I'm doing what I can.

Don't rush me.

Remember, I don't work for you.

What's so funny?

You've got an imitator. She's really good at it.

Bertha, that dress looks great on you.

Much better than it does on Patricia.

How dare you compare me to that meatball?

Thank you, sir.

I appreciate the kind words, especially from you.

What a compliment.

Excuse me.

-It's not funny. -What's wrong?

You don't know what I have to go through.

They're always bullying me.

Those monsters hate me because I'm pretty.

My life is a nightmare.

That's your choice.

You know, I could get you a better job

where you'd be surrounded by important people

with lots of money.

Plus, you'd make more.

There'd be lots of zeroes in your paycheck.

That'll never happen. Forget it!

That's why you'll always be a miserable secretary.

Whatever. Think about it.

If you change your mind, let me know.

What?

Careful, my beautiful dame. Are you insured?

Damn!

Giovas.

What's up, Sofi?

So, tell me.

Well, it looks like I'm going to have to go upstairs

to replace the light bulbs.

Can you believe these burned out after only two months?

I think they're buying the cheap brand.

Look at this.

Oh, you dumb... Get down.

I'm talking about our deal.

About...

Oh!

About Jenny.

Yes, Jenny.

Well, what can I say?

It's tough.

You know the kind of man I am and what my gifts are.

I like to take my time.

I was poetic, I gave her a flower,

and I even asked her out to dinner,

but she's a tough cookie.

She didn't say a word. Good or bad.

So, you're giving up?

You'll go down without putting up a fight?

Come on, Giovas!

You're already halfway there. She's enamored.

She just needs a slight push.

Women like her, like to be impressed

with expensive restaurants, like the ones the bosses go to.

I have a proposition.

You pick the place. I'll pay.

How about it?

Were you able to get in touch with Armand?

He's not answering.

It's been over six hours. He should be in LA already.

I hate when he does this! He's lying again.

Hey, Daniel was here.

Why didn't he stop by to see me?

What do I know, Marcela? Your brother's a weird guy.

What about the supplier in LA? Did they find someone?

Are you even listening?

I just told you I don't know where Armando is or with whom.

I don't know who the supplier is.

I've been left in the dark!

You clearly aren't listening when I talk to you.

I do listen and don't yell at me!

It's not my fault. It's your fault!

-Really? -Yes!

You trust Armand too much.

That's why he's in LA with his partner in crime

while you're here.

I mean, come on.

If I were you, I'd take the first flight to LA.

And I'd take my best friend with me.

You know, for moral support.

Are serious? They got taken for a ride?

That is the stupidest way to get hustled!

Betty...

I'm sorry, but I just cannot believe it.

I'm sorry for saying this, but for someone so intelligent

your boss sure acts like a real dumbass.

Alright, I'll calm down.

Don't call him that. Mr. Armando has had some bad luck.

Bad luck?

What did we say about being blinded by love?

Listen to me. Think, try to remember. Wake up!

First, he strikes a deal with a conman

and then he has him investigated.

What kind of businessman runs his business like that?

If he keeps this up, he'll drive V&M straight to bankruptcy.

His family will be destitute and so will we.

Don't you dare tell him about BAR's money.

We don't want him to take us down with him.

Need I remind you, Nicolas Ramos?

That company doesn't belong to either of us.

It's Mr. Mendoza's.

Yeah, but guess what?

You and I turned what was a shell company

into a very prosperous investment company.

If he gets his hands on BAR, he'll destroy it,

and when he does, it'll be your reputation on the line.

Oh, no.

No, not again! Why?

Oh, no!

This can't be happening to me! No, no...

Hey, it's Marcela Valencia. Leave a message after the beep.

Marce, why aren't you answering?

They want to kick me out of my own apartment!

It's these bastards from the building!

And just because I missed a few months of rent.

I don't know what to do. I'm desperate.

Please, please call me back.

Why, God? Why me?

It's about time you picked up, Armando!

Why didn't you tell me you went to LA?

Sorry, it was a last minute thing.

Ricardo called and told me he found another supplier

who had the fabrics Hugo wanted.

It's a really good offer.

Are you alright? You're acting strange.

No, it's just that I'm tired and I think I'm getting sick.

Tell me about the suppliers. Do I know them?

No, they're a new company.

Oh... a new company.

How long will you be there?

I don't know. A few days I guess.

What hotel are you staying at?

The same one as always.

Doesn't look like it. I mean, the décor is different.

Show me the view. I'm dying to see the city.

Sorry, honey. I'm tired.

I'm going to order some soup from room service

and then go to bed. Call you tomorrow?

Alright.

Let me know as soon as you've closed the deal.

I love you.

Love you, too. Bye.

Gross!

Is this even real?

Well, at least I don't have to worry about anything going bad.

What do we have here?

Thank you, Lord!

I knew you wouldn't let me starve to death!

I mean... you know what I mean.

Accepted. I'll be your friend.

Look.

Here's the final amount.

Without any tax. It's the gross.

-All that? -Yeah.

Can you e-mail me this document?

Yeah, sure.

Morning, Ms. Marcela.

Good morning, Mariana.

Can you get me a ticket for the next flight to LA?

-Yes, ma'am. -Thanks.

Mr. Mendoza.

Yes? Did you find out anything?

Not much. You're dealing with a ghost.

Someone who's really good at not leaving a trace.

Don't say that.

You can't just disappear like that.

There must be a way to track him down.

Unfortunately, you can. We see it everyday.

The bank account you made the transfer to has been closed

and the phone lines have been disconnected.

That's impossible. I saw the broker.

There were at least 20 employees working there.

It was a pretty office with modern furniture everywhere.

They looked busy.

Well, it's not your fault. This guy's a pro.

It's his MO.

They rent an office space with cash

and even hire actors who pretend to work there.

That's impossible.

We made sure they'd done prior business.

That's what they do.

They make a few business deals to make people trust them

and then when a big fish comes along,

they take everything.

Do you think the bank will give us a refund?

I'm sorry. We'll continue investigating this,

but the possibility of getting your money back

is next to impossible.

Betty, what's this big secret

that can't wait until lunch?

It's very sensitive and no one can know.

Oh, my.

Mr. Armando isn't in LA. He's in Miami.

What! What's he doing in Miami?

We had a big problem with some suppliers

and he's over there handling it.

What happened?

It's a secret. I can't tell anyone.

And you can't tell anyone about this.

Mr. Armando didn't tell Ms. Marcela so she wouldn't worry.

Oh, no, Betty!

She'll kill me and him when she arrives in LA

and he's not there.

No, you need to stop that flight.

-I don't know. -Please, please.

I've tried getting in touch with him

to see if I could help, but he won't answer my calls.

In the meantime, don't buy that plane ticket.

I don't know. If she finds out, she'll fire me.

No, I promise she won't fire you.

I'll take full responsibility.

Please, please.

Do it for Mr. Armando.

Jacket is chaqueta in Spanish.

Hey, Jenny. What's up, babe?

Hey, Giovas. What happened?

Is your Casanova game so weak that you can't woo Miss Thing?

Sorry to disappoint you,

my dear damsel working behind the front desk.

I've got that birdie eating out of my hand.

She's just a lady who's playing it cool.

No, she's playing you for a fool and you haven't realized it.

Why don't you give up,

kind sir working in the maintenance department?

Give up?

You're so funny today. It's obvious you don't know me.

For your information, there's nothing more dangerous

than an annoying, hopeless romantic with a purpose.

And in case you haven't noticed,

no one's more hopeless or annoying than me.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

Oh, I've noticed.

Do you like these? I already bought them.

Do I like them?

I see myself wearing them forever

and humiliating everyone else.

Did you see, Inesita?

They're beautiful.

Congrats.

Don't be upset, ma'am. Look what I brought you.

Beautiful flowers for a beautiful lady.

Thanks.

You are the most marvelous male specimen in the world.

I have to go now. Let's celebrate tonight.

Yes.

Don't you think I have the most beautiful fiancé in the world?

If you say so.

Don't start.

I think Frankenstein's monster is putting things in your head.

First of all, she has a name. Betty.

And second of all, you don't need to tell me anything.

I can see for myself that he's not good for you.

You ingrate. He brought us both gifts.

Fabio?

He uses your credits cards. You paid for these gifts.

Thank you, Hugi.

Materialistic hag.

You didn't use to be like this.

I've been a bad influence on you.

Did you get me that ticket?

No.

I looked but there weren't any first-class seats available

in any airline.

I'm fine with coach, layovers, whatever you can find.

Just get me to LA by tonight.

And get me a room at the same hotel Armando's at.

Yes, of course.

-Anything else? -No.

I just have to check where he's staying.

The same hotel as always.

The one downtown or the one in the valley?

There are two?

Yeah.

A new one just opened, but I'll confirm which one.

Thank you.

Hey, Ricardo.

Please tell me you've got something.

Nothing! They don't know anything!

They just know something around here came from Guatemala.

How is it that no one knows anything?

-Let's go back to the company. -Again? We've been there twice.

No, no, no. You think this will just fix itself?

No! We need to accept it. We got conned!

You got conned! It's your fault!

-My fault? -It's Betty! Shut up!

What is it, Betty?

Sir, sorry to bother you, but there's a tiny problem.

Ms. Marcela wants to get on a flight to LA

to meet up with you.

What? No.

You can't let that happen.

I'm trying, but I don't know what else to tell her.

Tell her-- Never mind, I'll take of it.

Does anyone else know we're here?

Yes, Mariana.

I had to tell her so she wouldn't buy the ticket.

I swear she won't say anything.

Alright, don't worry. I'll handle it.

There's one more thing.

Remember that Mr. Valencia came here

and asked about the financial report.

What? Oh, no!

Betty, don't worry. We'll get out of this.

I don't know how, but we will.

What a knockout!

Look at those curves.

I wish I could get my hands all up in there.

Well, I wouldn't mind showing it off.

And lucky me, here are the keys.

How'd you get Mr. Armando's car keys?

If he finds out, you're toast.

I hate to contradict you, my dear sentry,

but these wonderful keys were handed to me

by the president of V&M himself.

Smell his cologne.

He needed someone he could trust, ergo me,

to take his car to get it serviced.

Really?

Hey... can't you take me?

I've never ridden in a car like that.

Oh, my dear agent who aims to protect and serve,

but these types of car

are designed to have women ride in the passenger's seat.

And I already know who I'm taking.

See you later, alligator.

I guess God does bless the wrong people.

Do it again!

How about it?

Look at Hugo's new collection! He's a genius.

You know,

I think that if he saw me wearing one of these,

it'd change everything. He'd let me walk the runway.

It might not seem like it,

but I took an online course in photography, runway modeling,

and placement.

Right.

You really know your English, huh, Inesita?

Ma'am to you.

I don't want to be rude, but I'm very busy.

Please don't interrupt me.

What? I just want us to be friends.

I'm not your friend. I'm your colleague.

I can't be your friend because I'm Sofia's friend.

And since we're on the subject, I don't approve of your behavior

or of your employment in this company.

Now, don't let me keep you.

I'm asking you to leave.

Hey, where are you off to all by your lonesome?

Oh, it's just you, Giovis.

Of course it's me.

Manly, romantic, virile, and daring Giovas.

That's just great! Awesome.

Where'd you get this car?

Where I got it is of no consequence.

What does matter is where I'm headed.

And where are you headed?

Anywhere you want to go.

Really?

Then move over. I'll drive.

Move over.

-Of course. -Open the door.

Move. Move it!

-Wait, wait. -How do I do this?

There's a shitload of buttons here.

Where's the play button?

Hold on.

Mariana, I'm going home to get my suitcase

and then I'm going straight to the airport.

Do you have my boarding pass?

I sent it to your email.

Okay. Call me if anything happens.

If I don't answer, leave me a message.

I'll call you tonight anyway.

Sure. Have a good trip.

Thanks.

Hi, honey. How are you?

So-so. The deal fell through.

What? What happened?

The supplier didn't have what we needed.

It was a disaster. I just wasted my time.

I'm heading back.

I'm sorry.

I was thinking I could join you in LA

and we could spend a few days alone.

I'm already at the airport.

The plane takes off in a few minutes.

We need to find another supplier.

Now's not the best time to take a few days off.

Right. I get it.

I'll wait for you here. Love you.

Mariana, the trip is off.

We'll move it to some other time.

Okay.

I'm Ricardo Calderon, the very best of Betty en NY.

The best thing about Betty en NY are the behind the scenes.

Don't miss it.

Bottoms up!

Remember my escape through the bathroom's air vent?

A little less.

Betty, you look so different!

Marcela was about to catch me,

but someone was in there and saved my life.

Something totally epic?

When Beatriz took a spill in front of 300 guests

at the runway show.

There are so many people here! And there are more in the back.

We're all nervous. It's palpable.

It can be a little nerve-wracking

to work with so many important people
