ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

I had the emails of every employee

in your department searched

and these messages show that Ines, your assistant,

was the one who stole the sketches

for a large sum of money.

She is my muse.

Beatriz Rincon, the realest woman I know.

Armando...

Betty, where are you going? This is your moment.

Everyone wants to be with you.

It's over.

Armando left.

Let's give ourselves a chance.

Let's pretend this never happened,

that we're dating again.

Don't do this to yourself. Marcela, I care about you...

-See? You care about me. -But I don't love you.

That's the truth.

I love Betty and that's never going to change.

I hate you.

And I hate that woman.

I realized I love him with all my heart.

I'm a fool. I want to die.

You want to die?

Yes, I don't want to feel like this anymore.

OK. Come with me.

I'm going to help you.

Oh, no!

Betty!

Oh, my God!

I'm... going to throw up!

I'm... I'm going to throw up!

Mr. Smith, Ines has worked with me for years

and she's like a mother to me. It wasn't her.

The evidence you're holding says otherwise.

Those are copies of messages Ines sent

to several potential buyers.

Several of those indicate she's done this before.

She even states that the information will be worth

as much as what was delivered last time.

No, no. I'm sorry, but it wasn't Ines.

Then how do you explain that?

This is becoming very dangerous, Romina.

Did Ines believe you?

I don't think so. She kept asking me questions.

I don't know what to do. We have to get rid of her.

Have you gone mad?

No. She's dangerous.

Think about it. She could ruin our plans.

Does Roberto know about this?

No. I wanted to talk to you first.

I appreciate it, Mr. Smith. Please do me a favor.

Don't mention any of this to Roberto or Inesita.

I need to look into a few things.

All right, but it's my duty

to report a serious situation.

Then... I beg you to grant me a few days.

This is very serious and we can't make any mistakes.

I can only give you one day.

Hey, man, where can I buy a gift for Sofia?

I don't know.

I want to thank my wife for being so attentive.

Have you seen how loving she's been toward me lately?

I think my accident has brought us closer together.

I mean, she's always kissing me.

We love each other more now than when we were dating.

Oh, so you remember that?

I hear about it from her, from the boys,

and from what I've seen in pictures.

That's given me an idea of how it was.

Why don't you ask Sofia to tell you

what she's been through these last few months?

Maybe that'll help jog your memory.

Oh, she's told me a few things.

It's just that we've been married for so many years

that it makes sense for there to be some tension.

But right now we're at a beautiful stage, man.

Well, congrats. You're a great husband.

Can I tell you a secret?

I'm going to talk to Sofia about renewing our vows.

We can host a party and pretend we're getting married again.

What do you think of that, man?

I can imagine the look on Sandra's brothers' faces

when we tell them we're dating.

Forget them, her father!

Listen, they'll break every bone in my body then and there.

Nothing's going to happen.

Oh, no? Nothing's going to happen?

Why has Sandra rejected anyone who's shown an interest in her?

One ended up with a neck brace after the beating they gave him.

They pack quite a punch.

Come on, man. Get with the program.

You need to get with it and think about this.

Sandrita is of age and she needs to get married.

They can't send every guy who likes her running for the hills

or they'll never see her in white walking down the aisle.

Plus, if she didn't want anything serious with you,

she wouldn't risk you.

Oh, damn!

Are you saying she's trying to rope me in just like that?

Affirmative and undoubtedly, my friendly neighborhood Rambo.

You're slow to react, aren't you?

I on the other hand am ready to have my suit dry-cleaned

because I imagine you'll need an elegant best man such as me.

Since when are we so close? Don't say such nonsense!

My number isn't up yet.

I'm going to stay single until nature decides

to activate my biological clock.

Biological clock? Oh, you!

Don't you realize you're not master of your domain anymore?

The one who decides, who wears the pants here is Sandra.

All you have to do is obey.

Show up on time at the right place and do whatever they say.

What if I don't feel like it?

If you don't, then you'd better say goodbye to your teeth

and to a straight nose because Sandra's brothers

will make mincemeat out of you.

Unbelievable, Hugo.

I find it hard to believe Ines would do something like that.

Imagine me. Imagine how I feel.

Smith showed me Inesita's emails

and the evidence is undeniable.

They're really blaming her.

What's going to happen to her?

Well, it'll be a long process.

A lot of people will be involved,

but... Ines' future looks bleak, Fabi.

Ines has been invaluable to you, but we should consider her age.

She's an elderly woman

and I think firing her will be more than enough.

They still have to investigate further.

Investigate what?

Well, it seems Ines didn't do this alone.

Everything seems to point to her having an accomplice

and that her accomplice works here.

Wow! And... how do you know that?

Fabi, people who do this are professionals.

They have the email address, server information, IP address.

It seems she had an accomplice.

She didn't do this alone.

Do you love me?

Of course I love you.

Then that's it. Trust me.

Will you marry me?

Marcela, I care about you.

-See? You care about me. -But I don't love you.

That's the truth.

I love Betty and that's never going to change.

I hate you.

I have you, Beatriz! I hate you!

Oh, that was... amazing!

That's the word! A-ma-zing!

See? Told you.

There are thrilling and beautiful things

that make life worth living.

So now what?

Still want to die? Do you want to keep crying?

No, I want to do it again,

I want to have more exciting experiences like it.

So you took a liking it?

Yes, I loved it!

It's just that... it was so liberating.

It made everything gray and sad in my life disappear.

You transform everything. You're... different.

You're magical.

Don't say it too much or I'll believe you!

It's true, though!

Listen, I'm starving.

How about some Argentine barbecue?

-Yes! -Yeah?

-I'd love to. -I'll ask Catalina to join us

so we can celebrate everything turned out OK.

I also wanted to thank you. Working with you and Catalina

has been one of the best experiences of my life.

It doesn't have to end.

Betty, this isn't the only store I'm opening in the US.

I still need you.

Be honest, what's there for you to do in New York?

Why don't you move down here? You can stay with me.

As a guest.

Look, what if your life isn't in New York but here instead?

These fabric samples arrived from Europe.

See if there's anything you like.

Leave that there.

-There? -Uh-huh.

Did something bad happen?

Sit.

Oh.

Nothing bad happened.

I'll never let anything bad happen.

Hugo, don't scare me. What's wrong?

I love you.

I love having you in my life.

You're more important to me than my own mother.

Believe me, if you weren't around...

I'd be all alone.

What's got you like this, sweetheart?

Go on. Talk to me.

I adore you.

Everything went wrong.

What happened?

V&M is investigating and they know someone else was involved.

They have the IP address and they'll surely find us.

-I told you! -Oh, God.

I told you, but you wouldn't listen.

You got carried away

and now we're going to face the consequences.

Shut up and let me think!

Think about what? Huh?

If they find evidence that incriminates us, we're doomed.

Well, maybe we can negotiate.

You're going back to Argentina today.

You're leaving today!

I hate you!

I hate you! I hate you!

I hate you, Armando! I hate you!

I hate you!

I don't...

I don't want this here! I hate you, Armando!

I hate you! I hate you!

I hate you...

I hate you.

I hate you.

Hello?

Hey... when are you coming to pick up your things?

What things?

Your clothes and the rest of your crap that's tormenting me.

Marcela, please calm down. Where are you?

I'm... in Miami... with my lover.

With my lover. Did I tell you I have a lover?

You're garbage.

You're... garbage, Armando.

You made a fool of me.

You made a fool of me.

I want nothing to do...

Marcela!

No, I'm not going back to Argentina.

No way.

Wake up, Romina! Wake up!

Hugo is asking me questions. He suspects me.

That's a lie.

You're making this up so you can get rid of me.

You're going back to Argentina!

We're out of time.

Time for what?

Oh, God!

We just found out that Romi's great aunt isn't well.

The best thing is for Romina to return to Argentina ASAP.

Maybe it's not that urgent

and there's no need for me to leave now.

It's your family. You should go.

See?

In fact, we'll come with you.

I'll buy the plane tickets and make hotel reservations.

Thank you, but that won't be necessary, Huguito.

You're busy at work.

If I have to go, Fabi can come with me.

It's a great chance for me to meet your baby's father.

Why would you want to meet him?

What do you mean?

So we can have everything ready for the adoption.

Better to get that out of the way now, isn't it?

-Girl. -Huh?

So... Charly isn't replying to any of my messages

nor answering my calls.

He's really mad at me.

That's what men do when they're caught.

They play the dignity card.

Hold on.

What if he really hasn't done anything wrong?

What if we're assuming he did?

What if there's an explanation for all this?

The only way to explain it is him being a bigamist.

Sofia, I hadn't shown you this to spare you further pain,

but take a look at my phone.

I took the pictures.

I'm no gossip. I'm a professional.

You look so shocked right now.

I can't see anything. I don't know what's going on.

-What do you mean? -What's that?

-Did I ruin them? -What's that?

The point is that he's seriously committed to her.

What about the boy?

He treated him as if he were his father.

Girl, I'm very sorry,

but Charly is just as defective as Efrain.

Before I forget, here's your invite for Miami Fashion Week.

You can't miss it.

All of your colleagues have been invited,

so I ask that for once in your life

you leave the outlandish clothes in your closet, put on a tux,

and attend that very important event, darling.

Ask someone to go with you

because unfortunately I won't be able to go with you.

I'm returning home tomorrow.

Well, I'm coming with you.

You're not staying? Not even to go to the party?

My flight home, like Ms. Catalina's,

is scheduled for tomorrow.

So we'll switch it or I'll buy you another ticket.

What's the big deal?

My family.

Not at all, Betty. I can talk to them.

I'm sure they'll understand that you had to stay

an extra day or two.

Or that you have to stay indefinitely.

Oh, I don't have anything to wear to the event.

Betty, you're talking to a PR agent and a designer.

We wouldn't drop you into that event without a parachute.

Never!

We'll handle everything.

You're going to shine like never before.

That's right. Cheers.

Cheers!

Wilson, all of my children are athletes.

Wrestling, boxing, UFC, karate. They do it all.

Rodo applied to join the army.

Really? The army?

I applied too!

Really? What was the test like?

It was really hard!

The written portion was the toughest thing ever.

It almost gave me a migraine.

And I was this close to passing the physical.

So tell us, how many children do you have?

You're too old to still be single.

I am, sir.

I've devoted myself to saving money.

I want to have something to offer

the woman who'll dare take me.

I can't have her starving to death.

So you have some savings?

I will soon!

I don't have any expenses because I live with my parents.

I sleep on a couch in the living room.

Wilson is a family man, Dad.

He's close to his family. He likes to keep them close.

He doesn't have any vices, so he doesn't spend on nonsense.

Mashed potatoes! I'll get the mashed potatoes.

You can start without me. Dig in, Dad.

That looks great.

This is a special occasion, isn't it, Dad?

Sandrita hasn't brought a friend over in a while.

-No? -No.

Who came over last time?

He didn't know Sandra was too young to have a boyfriend.

And what happened to him?

He was never seen again.

How's the leg?

-Good. -It looks very tender.

It's easy to cut.

Roberto, you know I respect you

and appreciate everything you've done for us

after our parents passed,

but I won't let Armando and his accomplice

continue to do whatever they please with the company.

Did you know Armando and that woman were in Miami?

-What? -They're stealing from us.

Daniel, please. Armando is my son.

You've known him your whole life.

Precisely.

It must be very difficult for you to see him as a conman.

Please know I won't let Armando steal my sisters' inheritance.

Excuse me.

Good evening.

Good evening, Margarita. How are you?

-Good. -Sorry, but I can't stay.

I have a prior engagement. Excuse me.

What happened? Is everything OK?

Marcela?

Marcela!

Hey! Marcela!

Marcela! Marcela, what happened?

Hey! Marcela.

Marcela, answer me. Marcela.

Armando, what happened? Where's Marcela?

She's having her stomach pumped.

She mixed alcohol and something else.

Those damn sleeping pills! I knew this would happen!

What are you talking about? What pills?

She hasn't slept much since your break-up

and she started to abuse sleeping pills.

I knew something like this would happen!

Wait, do you think she did this on purpose?

Were you with her when it happened?

No, but she called me.

What did she say?

I don't know. She wasn't making much sense.

It sounded like she was saying goodbye.

I worried and went to see her.

-Do you realize what this means? -What?

Marcela tried to kill herself because of you.

If anything happens to her, I'll hold you responsible.

See, Mom? I'm doing better in math.

And you're doing better in language arts.

Yes!

I don't know how. He never speaks.

Hey!

He focuses more on writing.

When you grow up,

I'm sure you'll be an important writer or a philosopher.

Yes!

I hope you know I'm terribly proud of you.

I am more.

Don't you think the boys take after me, honey?

They are well mannered and studious.

They're like you too.

Wait.

Mom, I forgot to give you this flier.

It's Family Day at school. Should we invite Uncle Charly?

Yes!

Why would we bother him?

I can go. I'll go with you.

You didn't go last year. You said Family Day was boring.

Uncle Charly went, though.

Did you forget? Yes, remember that?

You asked Charly to cover for you

because you had something more important to do.

Do you remember that?

No. That was last year, though.

This year your dad who loves and adores you is going.

We'll go to... Family Day,

like the loving, close-knit, and happy family we are.

Right, honey?

No, we're still not sure this was a suicide attempt.

Armando, please don't bury your head in the sand.

You broke her heart, stole her will to live,

and sentenced her to death.

Relatives of Marcela Valencia?

-I'm her sister. -And I'm her...

How is she?

Stable.

Thankfully, we managed to detox her in time.

But it was close. Very close.

This could've been a tragedy.

She ingested a high dose of antihistamines and alcohol.

Another hour and Ms. Valencia would no longer be with us.

What's next? What do we have to do now?

We'll follow protocol for suicidal patients.

She'll undergo a psychological evaluation

and we'll proceed based on the results.

As of right now, it's best if she rests, OK?

OK.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Do you still doubt it?

Oh, Ms. Juli, these tamales are delicious.

You were feeling inspired, weren't you?

I did what I always do.

You're very happy, though.

I think you're in love.

Ms. Juli, nothing gets past you.

-Really? -I can't deny it.

I've invested in Love Enterprises.

Does she like you back or not?

Well, I'm racking up points.

I hope to get the max number of points

so she'll realize how I feel and she'll choose me

and we can have baby Nicos, start a family...

-Damn it. -Are you OK, Ms. Juli?

Why are you making that face? What's wrong?

It was so sudden and so weird.

Should I take you to the hospital?

No, no. I'm fine.

You sure?

I think the tamales didn't sit well with me.

How's Marcela?

She's better.

We have to wait until tomorrow to hear from the psychiatrist.

Good.

What's he doing here?

-Calm down! -Calm down?

My sister almost died because of this fool.

Leave or I'll kick you out.

I'm not leaving until I talk to Marcela.

The time for talking is over. Get out!

It's not worth it. Someone will call the police.

They can call whoever,

but you're not going anywhere near her again!

-What's going on? -He's picking a fight!

Sandra, what's going on?

Aren't you going to train tomorrow?

Look at the time.

I know when to go to sleep,

when to train and do everything else.

-Yeah? -Yes!

Well, it doesn't seem like it.

Forgive them.

He's probably very jealous, but I think everyone liked you.

Oh, I felt everyone's good vibes.

So what do you say? Should we tell them already?

Sandrita, everything in due time.

Why should we force this?

I think everything has a process.

A process.

Yes, but you and I agreed...

Yes, but things that happen when the time is right

are the best things.

Like I said, we shouldn't force this.

Everything should have its process.

See you bright and early tomorrow.

Get some rest. Dinner was great.

That's enough!

This is neither the time nor place!

What has to happen for him to leave Marcela alone?

Does she have to die?

Shut up, Daniel!

Don't say that again!

We're family, all of us are.

You know very well we see Marcela as a daughter.

Let's calm down and try to talk this out.

No. We have nothing to say to you.

The Mendozas have only brought ruin on the Valencias.

Hey, you can't talk to my parents like that!

They have nothing to do with this!

Yes, they do!

I told them about your nonsense,

-but they wouldn't listen. -Me?

Besides, what kind of family

raises a dishonorable man like you?

That's enough, Daniel!

-Did you hear that? -Son.

-I have to talk to Marcela. -Leave!

Keep us abreast of anything that happens.

Why did you say that to Margarita and Roberto?

They're not to blame for any of this.

It's our sister's life.

If you're not on our side, you're on theirs.

You decide.

Hugo, we didn't talk this over properly,

but I don't agree with going to Buenos Aires.

The look on your face made that abundantly clear.

Why not, Fabi?

Let's go to Buenos Aires.

Romina can see her aunt,

we can talk to her baby's father, and then we come back.

Or is there something you haven't told me?

No, but we'd agreed to vacation

in Santorini

by ourselves.

A second honeymoon, without any interruptions.

After the baby's born,

it'll be difficult for us to spend time together.

We'll take the baby with us. That can be his first vacation.

Fabi, we've traveled a lot.

Now... we have to think about our family.

Family is the most important thing there is.

Sandra... are you dating Wilson?

What gave you that idea?

What do you mean? Why'd you have him over?

It's not Christmas.

Because I like having a life.

Unlike you, I don't just go out to buy tortillas.

I'm focused on my sport. And you know what?

If you like him, you don't have the family's approval.

Know why?

Because he's lazy and he sleeps on a couch at his mom's home.

-And you live at your father's, Ramiro. -Right.

You do, don't you? And how old are you?

I have the right to date whoever I please.

If you don't like it, then that's very much your problem.

I can't believe Marcela did something so extreme

because her wedding was called off.

It's not just the wedding. It's also Betty.

Armando fell in love with her.

What?

No. That's impossible.

No man, no matter how stupid he may be,

would leave Marcela for that idiotic woman.

Well, Armando did.

As far as I know, it all started as a ploy

so he could entrust the company to her,

but he ended up falling in love with her.

No, no. That is absurd.

Why hadn't you mentioned any of this before?

Because it's Marcela's private life.

She was the one who should've told you.

I finally understand everything.

That's why Armando hadn't been completely open.

It was because of her.

Beatriz is a con artist.

All right, what were you doing in Miami with Beatriz?

Why did you go see that woman in secret?

Armando... I want the truth.

I went to see Betty because I needed to talk to her.

Look, when my troubles started at V&M,

I set in motion my plan of creating BAR,

the shell company.

Right, the one Beatriz owns.

Yes.

I needed someone I trusted completely

and I knew Betty was wholly supportive of me.

That's why I... seduced her

and she did everything she did because she loved me.

Is she waking up?

Sis.

Oh, you finally opened your eyes.

Are you OK?

What happened to me?

You're in the hospital.

You tried to kill yourself

by mixing sleeping pills with alcohol.

-Kill myself? -Yes.

What were you thinking, Marcela?

Did you do this because of that idiot Armando?

Come on!

You didn't even do anything like this

after our parents' accident!

I didn't try to kill myself.

-No? -Much less because of Armando.

Stop defending him, will you?

I know about what happened with Beatriz.

Dani, stop it. Now's not the time.

-You told him? -Yes, she did.

-That doesn't matter, though. -That was a personal matter.

It also relates to the family business.

Do you know what this means, Marcela?

Armando and Beatriz are working together

to take everything we own.

Enough! That's enough of that!

She's been through a lot.

Her recovery is all that matters now.

You cheated on Marcela with your assistant?

Does Marcela know about this?

Yes, she found out recently.

Good Lord!

How could you do this to Marcela, son?

You were engaged!

I didn't just hurt Marcela. I also hurt Betty.

It was all a lie.

Son, you don't have to do this.

Yes, I do.

It was all a ploy.

I wanted to control her.

Betty owned everything.

I couldn't let her keep our capital.

You don't have to go into detail.

No, no. Settle down, Margarita.

Please let him finish.

I want to understand all this. Why did you do it?

Why?

I don't know.

It was all a ploy that got out of hand.

All right. Let's see if I got this right.

You used that woman,

you cheated on Marcela right under her nose,

and you lied to everyone on the board?

Who are you, son?

Where are the values we taught you?

Where's the education we gave you?

Who is he? Who are you?

Yes, Dad, I did all that

and I'm paying for every mistake I made.

Believe me, I regret it.

Does Beatriz know you toyed with her?

Does she know it was all a lie?

Yes, she found out in the end.

That's not the end of it, though.

I'm in love with Betty.

How could Marcela do something like that?

I'm partly to blame.

I told her Armando was in Miami.

I didn't think their breakup had affected her so much.

That's why?

Yes.

Armando was with Betty in Miami.

Did you know?

No, I only just found out.

I imagine Marcela couldn't take it anymore.

She bottles up her pain and comes across

as if nothing bothers her just like Daniel.

But then it proves to be too much and they explode.

Ricardo, I can't let my sister do this again.

Don't worry. Marcela will get better.

Daniel and Marcela are all I have.

If I lost either of them, I'd be lost forever.

I couldn't take it.

It's OK. You have me.

I'm here to support you.

Thank you.

As soon as she recovers,

I'll ask Marcela to come to Europe with me.

I have the money to start the green line.

Daniel gave you your money?

He's started to pay me back.

He asked for a little bit of time to get me the rest.

Look, if you want, I can help you start your project.

I have experience in the fashion industry

and it'd be my pleasure.

Thank you, Ricardo. You're the best.

What's up?

Are you still pissed over last night?

What's up, bud? See you later, OK?

Why are you avoiding me?

Um... I'm not.

Look, after the aforementioned dinner,

I realized I had to think over two or three things.

My brothers.

You can't be afraid of them.

Otherwise, we'll never make things between us official.

I'm not a coward, but I'm not insane either.

I realized that they don't like me that much.

Let's face them head on.

You're dating me, not them. What do you gain by hiding?

I'm using ancient survival tactics.

It's not about winning but rather avoiding losing.

All right, so we're going to keep our relationship a secret?

Is that so wrong?

No, no!

Not at all. See you later!

Damn, she packs a punch.

Betty, calm down. Everything's going to be OK.

Remember that your attitude is your best accessory.

Vero, there's this one.

How about this one?

No, that one is ugly. It's too low cut.

Let's start with this one.

Can we close this up?

I feel better already, Doctor.

I really do. Can I leave now?

Yes, almost.

We just need the psychological evaluation.

The psychiatrist will determine whether you can go home or not.

Psychiatrist? I don't need a psychiatrist.

I already told you it was an accident.

I was drunk and I mistook how many sleeping pills I'd taken.

I didn't try to kill myself.

The psychiatrist will determine that.

I'll come by later.

I will offer some advice. Do try to get some rest.

Me, try to commit suicide? How stupid!

What are you doing here?

Marcela, we need to talk.

I need to know if you tried to kill yourself because of me.
