Original subtitles

I'd feel better if I got to talk to you.

Would it be OK to meet today at seven?

Yes, yes. Seven works, Patri.

PREVIOUSLY

Meet me at my favorite restaurant.

I swear there are times when I think it would've been better

if I'd never been born.

Patri, don't say that.

This world is a lot better with you in it.

Where does Nicolas come up with the money

so he can pretend to be rich?

BAR. BAR capital is very solid.

Nicolas isn't the one who's one step away

from bankrupting the company.

It's V&M and its inability to fulfill its obligations.

I'm more and more convinced that Betty saw the video.

No, no.

If she had, she would've torn us to pieces.

Right, but she's been acting weird.

Why would she bring Nicolas to the place

where she and I were supposed to have dinner?

If you don't do something, Nicolas will keep everything.

I promised I'd call off the wedding after the meeting

so I could be with you.

Please stop making promises you can't keep.

I'm calling off the wedding tomorrow.

What's the matter with you?

We're days away from the board meeting.

-You can't call off anything. -I can and I will.

I'm going to talk to Marcela tomorrow.

I can't keep lying to her. This is a charade.

Ricardo... I'm in love with Betty.

Oh, no! No!

Nicolas, please don't think I'm usually like this.

I'm not like this at all. Really, I promise.

It's just that you're... different.

You're what every woman dreams of.

I won't judge you, Patri. I actually understand you.

-Yeah? -I do.

I don't want you to think I'm a gold digger,

you know?

That I'm only after your money not your heart,

because I do care about your heart.

You don't believe a word I'm saying, do you?

Is it over between us?

Of course it is. I messed up big time.

I understand. We can part ways.

Can I get this all to go?

No, no.

Patri, you have so many problems

and so many things have gone wrong for you

that you think I...

I promised I'd help and that's what I'm going to do.

OK?

All right.

OK.

Know what I just got?

The cryptocurrency name.

It's called Nicoin

because you're combining Nicolas and... coin.

Nicoin. As in coin.

Oh, wow! You're a genius!

No, Patri, I'm just your friend.

Just tell me what you need

and I'll put it before your quasi green eyes.

Well, friend,

you'd help me out a lot by giving me 100,000 dollars.

You don't have to give me all the money at once.

You can give me a little less. But only a little.

Please. I promise to pay you back.

How?

There are many ways.

I'll never turn you down.

Hold on.

Oh, it's Betty. She's asking for a video call.

Hey, Betty. Just handling some business.

Nicolas, why'd you take the car? Where are you and who with?

I'm eating chicken at Los Pollitos Dicen.

Oh, yeah? Prove it!

So now I have to report to you?

If you don't, I'll take away your credit card

and you won't be allowed to eat at my house again.

Oh, I dropped my phone!

Get down!

Yeah, right there.

Get down.

Almost, almost...

Oh, here you are!

Sorry, I dropped my phone.

Here you are.

Now do you believe me?

Yes, but I need you back here now.

Yes, Betty. I'm on my way.

Armando made me feel something wonderful,

unique, special...

and he himself had a hand in killing it.

He destroyed the love I felt for him.

I'll never forgive him for that.

Armando Mendoza is dead to me.

You what?

No, no. I didn't just hear that.

You didn't just say that, did you?

Yes, yes. I'm... in love with Betty.

No, no!

You're like the abduction victim

who end up falling for the kidnapper.

People who are under a great deal of stress

lose touch with reality. Just like you did.

Yes, you're suffering from Beatriz Syndrome.

No, I'm not crazy.

I'm in love. That's all.

So what?

Armando, don't you realize the danger you'd be in

if you told Marcela the truth

or what would happen if you called the wedding off?

Everything would come crumbling down.

It was bound to happen eventually.

Armando, do you hear yourself?

You have absolutely nothing in common with her!

She's not at your level. She's not the woman for you.

Please focus!

Easy for you to say. "Focus!"

You're not the one going through it.

I'm the one who's playing two people.

You said it.

You're playing them! Playing them, bro!

You should only care about Marcela, not Beatriz.

You can't bankrupt everyone because of a whim.

You know what? You're not well.

I love you, bro, but you're not well.

Admit yourself to the psych ward.

You need help! I won't let you ruin everything!

Come on in, Nico. My house is your house.

Damn!

Wow, Patri.

Your house...

I'd imagined you lived in a cardboard box

since you don't have any money.

Oh, I do live in a cardboard box.

Everything you see here is made out of cardboard.

It's hard to tell because I painted recently,

but it's full of cracks.

Look over there, by the kitchen.

The sink faucet has never worked.

No water comes out.

And there's nothing in the fridge.

Not even ice.

I almost want to cry, Patri.

Don't cry. I'm here now.

I just hate being poor!

This place is awful.

Every inch of this place has leaks.

Except for my bedroom up there.

Wanna go?

Um... to the place where you rest?

To the place where you close your eyes?

To the place where you lie down horizontally?

Hold on.

No, Patri. I can't.

I have to go.

Is it Beatriz?

It's Beatriz, isn't it?

You'd rather be with her because I'm poor

and have nothing to offer you.

I can't make you anything to eat or offer you a glass of wine.

You're leaving me because I'm poor!

No, Patri.

Here.

Promise me money will never be an issue between us.

Wait.

I have to go. We'll do this some other day.

All right.

Bye, mademoiselle.

I'll stop by later when I have more time...

and we'll do something. Bye.

He is so weird.

But 100 dollars is 100 dollars.

There's nothing you can do. I've already made up my mind.

Yes, but this was our plan and I'd be incriminated as well.

No, only Betty and I would be incriminated.

In any case, I'm losing her.

Good thing you finally realized you're losing V&M.

No, I meant Betty.

I'm sure Nicolas is in love with her.

He can give her everything I can't.

He spends time with her and doesn't keep her a secret.

He can take her to another planet after she returns V&M.

Don't you understand that I'm in love with her?

Don't wrinkle my clothes.

I'm going to choose to believe this is stress-induced.

It was to be expected

and I have to admit that I'm partly to blame.

You've done hard things, things that would break any man.

Bro, you've got to trust me. This will soon end.

The company is doing better.

Believe it or not, I've made up my mind.

I'm going to speak with Marcela tomorrow.

Armando.

All right, tell me something.

When did this all happen?

How'd you fall in love? Tell me, I'm all ears.

Go on.

Betty is the only one who understands me.

I believe in her and she believes in me.

I believe in you and trust you and you feel the same about me.

I can't believe you set out to fool her

and ended up being fooled.

You've fallen for your own lies.

Bro, Beatriz isn't the woman you think she is.

She cares about money and power, too,

and she's with you because of who you are and what you have.

Life's tough, but those are the facts.

Armando, I thought...

What are you doing here, sis?

Why didn't you call so I could pick you up?

I didn't want to bother you. You're always with Armando.

Things have changed a bit here, but tell me about Africa.

Yes.

I had fun, but I got bored towards the end

and I was dying to come back to New York.

I'm here now. I missed you.

I must be going through a crisis.

A family crisis?

Some type of crisis. I want to spend time with you.

I thought I'd help you start married life.

Thank you.

All right. You win.

You're going to start a new life with Beatriz.

You fell in love and your assistant fell for you

because she turned out to be

the world's most unconditional woman.

I have no choice but to congratulate you.

I'm your friend, aren't I?

Thanks, but I'm not in the mood for your snark.

I'm not being snarky. I believe you.

Tonight, you were very clear.

You have real feelings for Beatriz.

It was a hard pill to swallow, but I swallowed it.

Tomorrow you'll tell Marcela. What will she do?

Let's see. She'll be as shocked as I am,

but when she realizes you're serious,

she'll hate you and she'll tell Daniel.

And what will Daniel do?

He'll be furious, with reason, and he'll take control of V&M.

Fear mongering? Is that your strategy?

-Are you trying to scare me? -No, I can't scare you.

You're in love and you think anything is possible.

What about Beatriz?

When Daniel learns about everything we've done...

Sorry, everything Beatriz has done...

She's fabricated reports and she lied to the board members.

What do you think he'll do to her?

I won't let him do anything to her.

And how are you going to pay for her defense?

How are you going to afford Manhattan's best law firm?

Who's going to keep her, her best friend/boyfriend,

and her father out of prison?

They all work at BAR.

You won't be able to be their savior,

because the moment you talk, you'll lose your reputation

and you'll go bankrupt.

Think about it.

I hope you tip 20%.

I want the truth, Nicolas Ramos!

Did you or did you not meet with Patricia Fernandez?

Yes, Betty. I did.

I couldn't help it. I fell prey to her charms.

How much did we spend today?

What? What are you insinuating?

Is it that Patricia is only with me because of my money?

I'm not insinuating it. I'm saying it!

It's a fact.

I did it!

I'm the perfect man!

With my charisma and wallet, I'll have her right at my feet.

Nico, I love you dearly, but I regret to tell you

that it's actually the other way around.

Get ready because you're going to feel terrible some day.

It's OK.

When that happens, I'll find a way to feel better.

Nico, I'm serious.

I love you and I don't want you to get hurt.

Remember what happened to me, what happened with Armando.

Plus, I'm your girlfriend. Show some respect.

Yes, you're my official girl and she's the side chick.

Betty, I've learned everything there is to know

about juggling two women from the very best, Armando Mendoza.

Oh, no! It's that idiot.

-Are you going to answer? -Of course not!

I want all the details.

What did you and your golden girl talk about?

Some very interesting things, Betty.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

Well, gentlemen don't kiss and tell.

Betty, what's going on? I've left you several messages.

Why won't you call me back or take my calls?

Betty, if I've done anything wrong, tell me.

Let's talk it over.

Today I made a decision that's very important for us both.

I did it for you,

because I only want to be with you.

Let's talk and...

What do I do?

How will you pay for her defense?

How are you going to afford Manhattan's best law firm?

Who's going to keep her, her best friend/boyfriend,

and her father out of prison?

They all work at BAR.

-Girl. -Huh?

Did you sell your grandmother's jewelry?

It broke my heart to do so,

but I have to get my hubby back no matter what.

Yeah.

Did you get good money for it?

I would've wanted more.

-Look. -Let's see.

That's enough to buy a car.

-Right? -Yeah.

I just don't know what to look for when buying a car.

What do you mean? The color!

And a mirror so I can touch-up my make up.

Yeah.

What else?

I don't know. You can always ask Giovas.

Giovas!

Of course! He knows about cars!

Exactly! Right?

Damn right!

Oh, damn!

Do you like the look of the pocket square in a vest?

I'd like to make it a trend.

Men should wear handkerchiefs in their vests.

I like it. I'd wear it.

I love how it looks. Super hip.

-Super what? -Hip.

Hip? As if!

I mean, I need to stand out above all mortals.

I'm the only one who needs to shine.

All eyes should be on me during my show.

Attending a runway show must be a dream come true.

The rich and famous and the press are all there.

I'd love to go! Can I go with you?

See? You always do that.

You always decide to go at the last minute.

No, you can't go.

It's too late to get you a ticket.

Say something earlier next time.

No problem.

My tie.

Will your tie also shine in the fifth dimension?

And the sixth and seventh. Bring me the best ones.

Hip girl, please help Inesita.

-OK. -Thank you, Romi.

Hugo...

are you mad at my sister?

You could easily bring her to the show.

No, I have nothing against her,

but we haven't had a moment to ourselves since she arrived.

She's dearly loved in the Hugo Universe,

but I want to be with you.

Think she'll be mad?

No, I don't think so.

It's the event of the year.

It's so private that all invitations are personalized

and nontransferable.

Were you invited?

I wish!

Some day I will be.

You know, going to that show is one of my biggest dreams.

Know what my biggest dream is?

The one I have during my post-lunch nap.

Well, I'll tell you what it was like.

You'll be green with envy.

You're not invited, darling.

I don't need an invitation. Everyone knows who I am.

Besides, I'm going with my best friend.

-Ms. Marcela? -Uh-huh.

Sorry to tell you, but that's not true.

She's not attending.

She's hosting a dinner, which I ordered the catering for.

So you weren't invited either.

#DivaInDecline and hungry.

Relax or your skin will stress and wrinkle.

By the way, I will be attending.

Yes, so if you want to watch it, go on my social media.

My handle is "JennyWendyLaReina". Feel free to follow me.

-You OK? -It's OK.

Why are you looking at me? What's wrong?

I couldn't care less about what happens to that skank.

Watch me reverse into my desk.

Oh, you poor thing. You'll be bored tonight.

No fashion event, no dinner. Nothing.

That's not true, little meatball.

I'll be going to dinner with a millionaire.

So think whatever you want.

At least that's free, you paupers.

#MakingItAllUp.

How embarrassing!

I just want to disappear and reappear in Europe.

Oh!

Good morning, Betty.

I was waiting for you.

Good morning.

How'd you sleep?

Did you dream of me?

-No. -No?

I don't dream when I take my antihistamines.

I go into a deep sleep.

My acute rhinitis makes me snore because the mucous...

No!

We can't do this here. Remember where we are.

I know exactly where we are, but don't worry.

It's OK.

Did you listen to my messages?

Yes, I heard them this morning because of the antihistamines.

The antihistamines, allergies, rhinitis, snoring.

You know what, though? I don't believe you.

Don't bother lying to me anymore.

We have a meeting with a businessman from India.

I met him recently.

Right, but I can't go

because I'm very busy with the board meeting.

Sorry, but this is a work-related matter

and you won't be able to get away.

When is it?

Set it up for the day after tomorrow.

OK, got it. Consider it done.

Can we go out to dinner tonight?

No, no. We can't.

It could look suspicious.

See?

This is why I say you're acting strange.

You would've dropped everything so you could be with me.

Don't worry, though.

I know exactly what's wrong and I'm going to fix it.

Yes, Mr. Ricardo? Is there something you need?

Let's drop the act, Beatriz.

You have access to all of Armando's accounts

and you saw the video I sent him.

What video are you talking about?

Betty, Betty, Betty.

You've been very strange these last few days.

I know you watched that video.

You can be honest with me. I'm not Armando.

He thinks you're an angel,

but we both know that's not the case.

Please don't stand so close to me.

If this is about Mr. Armando, why don't we call him over?

No.

That won't be necessary.

This is between you and me.

Beatriz, what's the matter?

Why are you acting so strange?

Well, I'm acting strange

because our most important board meeting to date

is coming up and V&M is about to go bankrupt.

BAR is in the red...

and technically speaking, I'm responsible for it all.

You know that better than I do.

Sometimes I wonder why I was made owner of BAR

instead of you.

You know very well I couldn't have done it.

Then don't ask me to smile

and greet you and Mr. Armando every morning

because it makes sense for me to feel scared and worried.

I'm scared.

Are you going to tell me what video you were talking about?

No. Don't worry about it.

Something silly I sent to Armando. Nothing of relevance.

But it could be misinterpreted.

I think I owe you an apology.

I haven't been very nice to you, but it's because of Armando.

I worry about him. He's acting very strange.

Yes. Can I go now?

No.

Don't give me that look. We're both on the same side.

We both support Armando, don't we?

Here. This is for you.

What is it?

An invitation for a fashion event being held tonight.

You are going to go

because it's important that you go with Armando.

I never go to events like these.

It's business.

And Armando is a different person when he's with you.

We're going to meet potential investors at this show

and we need you there with us.

Don't let Armando down.

He believes in you.

Come in!

I read all of the magazines outside,

and they're a year old!

You know I don't like you showing up unannounced.

I'm a busy man. Sit down.

How are you? What brings you by?

Are you here for V&M's board meeting

or to collect your check in person?

Neither.

I came to help Marcela with the wedding.

That wedding is a farce.

Like all weddings.

But that doesn't mean I don't want to help my sister.

I need to cash one of my CDs.

Why do you need all that money?

Don't tell me you plan to squander your savings

on another crazy venture like the ice hotel in Alaska.

The only venture I'm going to invest in is Marcela.

I want to get her an amazing gift.

Yes, but a CD is worth a lot of money.

I know.

I also know it encompasses my late husband's inheritance,

may he rest in peace,

plus the total value of my shares at V&M and royalties.

And while it's true that you manage my money,

it's also true that I can spend it on whatever I want.

Working hard?

Mrs. Juli, don't walk up to me without making a sound!

Come on!

If I'd been chewing on a pencil,

I would've swallowed it and I'd be dead right now.

Can't you see I'm about to make a complicated transaction?

It's like I'm about to dismantle a bomb.

I'm moving millions of dollars and I can't make any mistakes.

If you think it's too risky, then don't go through with it.

Oh, it's done.

All that's left is to wait and see what happens.

Are you in the mood for some mole?

Mrs. Juli, that sounds perfect for such a stressful time.

Look at me.

Patricia.

My New York lady.

Patri?

Hi, it's Mr. Mystery.

Hi, Mr. Mystery!

I don't know what you did to me last night,

but I'm dying to see you again.

So soon?

Yes, I woke up with a new perspective on life today.

I even have ice.

Betty!

What about Betty?

Don't tell me Beatriz knows about us!

Is she on her way here?

Is she armed? Is she going to kill me?

No. No, no...

It's just that...

I need to talk to Betty

because I just made millions on the stock market.

Oh, man! It keeps going up!

Wait, what do you mean millions?

I mean...

Congratulations on your millions!

Do you want to meet so we can celebrate?

Patri?

She's on the line.

Patri, sweetheart... we're millionaires!

Patri...

Patri?

-Hey, bro. -Yeah?

Let's go to the event together tonight.

No, I'm not in the mood to go out.

It's not an outing, it's an investment.

If we don't go, it's as if V&M doesn't exist.

You know how important this event is.

Yeah, but...

Hello! Let the sunshine in!

-Hey! -Hi!

-How are you? -Good!

-I didn't know you were coming. -She surprised us all.

I'm so glad you're here. You look amazing as always.

Thank you. You look great, too.

And very young.

Are you still dating that girl? Anderson's daughter?

I came to tell you I won't be joining you at tonight's event.

What? Why?

We were just talking about how important it is.

-We can't miss it. -It's my fault. I'm taking her.

We Valencias are having a private dinner tonight.

Sounds dangerous.

May I ask why?

Marcela will tell you later.

For now, it's a secret.

A secret.

This one's nice.

Yeah, but it's too expensive. Plus, it's a gas guzzler.

-You think? -Yeah, I'm sure of it.

What about that one?

My hubby and I want something bigger.

Which one?

This one!

You only like the expensive ones.

It'll take you about 20 years to pay for the tires alone

on a car like that.

Is that one expensive?

No, not that one.

Why not?

Because it's blue. I don't like it.

Hold on.

You can change the color here.

Yeah!

I like the red one!

It looks like a fried chicken restaurant.

I want that red one!

Yes!

Nicolas, you're not my dad!

I'm on my way, but my umbrella broke.

My phone is going to get damaged.

Bye!

Yes, yes.

Betty?

Betty, how lovely.

Whenever I think she couldn't look worse,

she always proves me wrong.

Ricardo...

What is Betty doing here?

I invited her.

She's a key member of the company

and you love her, don't you?

Well, there's the woman you're willing to risk it all for.

Betty has no reason to be here. Don't you dare mock her.

Me?

Of course not.

You've got your heart set on her.

Get used to this.

Beatriz needs to start socializing.

Beatriz!

Over here.

Mr. Ricardo. Hi.

Hi, Betty.

So...

is it raining outside?

Yes.

Betty, can I speak to you for a moment?

I'm so glad you came.

Now we can spend time together.

I feel like I'm not dressed up enough for this event.

No, you look fine.

Wet, but fine.

Why did you need to see us so urgently?

What's the rush?

We can enjoy ourselves a little first.

We can get to brass tacks later.

In fact, I think we should get together more often.

Yes... but you're the one who's always traveling.

What happened? Did you run out of countries?

Danny!

Malu is right.

It's nice to see each other away from the office and work.

That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about.

This year I've decided to become a little more formal.

I have a new life project.

Really?

What are you going to do? Sell lots on the moon?

Or send happy meals to kids in Africa?

No.

I've decided to be more formal.

I'm going to start working at V&M.

You're going to work at V&M?

Maria Lucia, please. Are you serious?

You? No way.

What's the big deal? I'm a Valencia, too.

I'm also part of the company. Can't I work there?

Yeah, but what can you do?

You've never worked a day in your life.

What position will we give you?

Oh, I know.

Yoga instructor.

Is that what you want?

You know, it's not a bad idea.

Did you know that yoga increases productivity?

Maybe I could create programs for the employees.

That would help them work better.

Yes, like a wellness department.

Exactly! I knew you'd get me.

No, no, no. I don't agree with this.

It's crazy.

I have two options.

I can do that

or I can take all the money you manage for me

and open another business. I don't know.

What do you think is a better investment?

Oh, Beatriz.

I never have time to analyze you, but now that I do,

I want you to know that looking at your outfit

is like looking at every fashion faux pas

from the 1920s through the 1990s.

Let's go.

A century!

Don't pay attention to him. You know how Hugo is.

Yeah, I know.

We have to walk the carpet. The press is waiting.

I'm not going through there. I'll wait for you here.

Beatriz... you're coming with us.

You're a vital member of V&M.

Why hide?

Please, come with us.

Betty, it's fine. Come on.

Sure.

Betty.

Good evening.

What's wrong?

I don't want to be here anymore.

Betty!

I love it!

You have to lend me that shirt! You said you would.

What's going on here?

Daddy!

I just booked a bikini commercial!

Are you her dad? Nice to meet you.

I'm not her dad! I'm her boyfriend.

What do you mean?

Get up here!

Jenny, get down from there.

It's over! Party's over!

You want to go to bed already?

All right, fine.

Get up here!

The pony, the pony!

What pony?

Lovebug, I'm playing.

Get down from there.

Betty, you shouldn't have gone to that place without me.

You should've taken me.

Yeah, you're right. But it was by invitation only.

They weren't going to let you in anyway.

Hey... was Patricia Fernandez there?

See? You don't care about anything I say.

You only care about Patricia.

No, she wasn't there.

One last question. Was Armando's fiancée there?

No, the Valencias didn't go. They had a thing.

So who invited you?

Mr. Ricardo Calderon.

What?

Are you crazy?

That guy probably set you up.

I know. That was really dumb of me.

But I thought things were fine between us

and that's why he invited me.

But no.

If I could, I'd kick myself all over.

I'll help you.

Please do. Maybe I'll learn.

You still don't understand one thing, Betty.

You don't belong to that social circle.

You can't allow those people to keep treating you that way.

I love you a lot, Betty, and I know you're a much smarter

and much better person than them.

We have to hit them where it hurts most, their pockets.

OK?
