One week later
Valentina Fonseca.
Congrats!
-We made it. -This one's for Nana!
Bravo!
Congrats, sweetie!
Thank you, God! It's a dream come true.
Congrats. Bask in the moment!
It's a big step in life.
Thank you.
Congrats, miss.
Let's hope your attendance is better in college.
Thank you, sir. It will be.
You'll hear nothing but good things about me.
-I hope so. -Thanks.
Congrats again.
I want to thank my family
and I'd like to dedicate this moment and this diploma
to my friend and fellow classmate Adriana.
Bravo!
Lizette Muriel.
Bravo!
Lize, look over here! She's so pretty!
Oh, sweetie!
She really wants to go to college.
If that's what she wants, I'll help her out,
but she'll have to work with me on weekends.
It's only fair.
She's our youngest graduate and the valedictorian.
Give it up for her!
Thank you.
Isn't life ironic?
This girl is such an angel yet her sister's a demon.
Life's full of contradictions.
Definitely.
At least she's doing something for her family.
I want to thank the professors, the directors,
and the school for this award.
I want to dedicate it to my mom and sister for their support.
Bravo, honey!
Look at me, Lize!
Up next is Catalina Marin-Santana.
Go, Cata. You deserve it.
I'm so happy!
-It's so emotional. -No.
Everyone repeat after me...
Easy. Take it easy.
Congratulations.
You're an example of resilience and strength.
-Well done. -Thank you.
Thank you very much, sir.
I've worked very hard to get here.
It's almost as if something didn't want me to be here,
but here I am.
-That's right. -Thanks.
Excuse me a second. I'm really thirsty.
Don't forget about our deal, Professor.
Please don't do this.
I'm not doing anything. You are.
The prosecutor's over there. You can talk to him later.
Bravo!
Mom, congratulations.
Really.
You were able to do with my sister
what you couldn't do with me.
Thank you, sweetie.
But you know something?
I still hope you'll graduate and have your own moment.
I've been saying it since you were young.
Mom, it's been a long time.
I enrolled at a US school and graduated.
I have a career.
I've been working with the TEA for a long time.
You should be proud of that.
I'm a well-rounded woman,
which is what you always wanted for me.
I love you so much, sweetie.
Excuse me! Pardon me!
Sorry. I'm very sorry.
-Sorry for interrupting.
Mrs. Hilda, two quick questions.
First, did Albeiro graduate?
Oh, and why isn't he here? Do we know where he is?
I think he never finished school
and as for where he is...
I've no idea.
It's been a week since I last saw him.
He's been missing for days.
We should call someone.
Well, if I'm his best friend and I don't know.
Unless he found a new friend.
Alright, I'll be honest.
I've heard from him.
He's been calling me.
Know why?
-To insult me. -What?
He's said some horrible things.
Why hadn't you mentioned it? I had no idea.
He's been insulting Catalina, too.
He's told her terrible things.
-That's so strange. -I wonder why.
I don't know.
That's not like him.
I know. He didn't even come today.
Miss Daniela Barrera.
Did he say Daniela Barrera?
Is that the one we know?
Yeah, but she didn't go to school with us.
Is there a Daniela Barrera at our school?
No.
Have you ever heard about her?
Nope. Never.
What's she doing here? She's never been to our school.
She doesn't even go here!
-Have you ever seen her here? -No.
How'd she do it?
It's Daniela. Yesica's daughter.
-She's never been to school. -She barely knows her ABCs!
-She must've paid someone off. -Yeah.
I can't believe the school allowed this.
We had to work so hard for this diploma
yet they gave it to her for a chunk of change.
Things will never change at this rate.
Bastards!
-Congratulations, miss. -Thank you.
Thanks.
What's she doing here?
Thank you.
Excuse me. May I say a few words?
Sure, go ahead. Just don't take long.
Thanks.
Fellow classmates and respective families,
I want to congratulate you, and myself too.
I'm sure all of you know I'm Miss Pereira
and since the state pageant is coming up,
I'd like to ask all of you to attend the pageant
so you can show your queen your support.
Thanks.
How disrespectful!
I'm not done.
-Get off the stage! -That's a fake diploma!
Phony!
I'm not done talking.
Phony... phony!
Thank you.
I want to dedicate this diploma to my mom...
wherever she is.
Oh, please. That's enough.
Thank you, Aunt Amparo, for being here today.
Thanks.
You phony bitch!
She cheated!
This is why we can't have nice things!
Over here, girls.
Come on.
Let's take a photo!
Jota, Hernan Dario, Vane? Just my mom and sister.
-You go, Cata. -Wait.
Okay! One, two, three.
Alright.
The three of us now.
Jota, take one with my phone too.
Just the three of us first.
So pretty.
-Alright. -Is it okay?
Yeah. Can I go now?
What's wrong, Cata? You didn't even smile!
I did, a bit.
It's just that my dad isn't here.
He said he'd come.
It's weird that he isn't here.
He'd be so happy right now. Right, Mom?
We've sacrificed so much for this.
It's unbelievable.
It doesn't make sense for him not to be here.
We talked yesterday and he said he'd come.
He sounded weird, though.
But Mom said he called to insult you.
That's enough. We can't let him ruin our day.
This is an important day for you and we need to celebrate.
Let's forget about him. Come here.
Right, Mrs. Hilda.
One last picture for the paper.
Mom in the middle.
No, I don't want to...
Come here.
Alright, you two. Smile!
It's like we both graduated.
One, two...
Alright. Smile!
Great!
This is for Daniel's paper.
Really?
Okay, wait! Just a sec...
You look so pretty!
It's great!
We need to frame this, sweetie.
Careful or it'll get wrinkled.
Now...
Wait, wait...
Catalina, I've done my part.
Don't humiliate me any further in front of my family.
We made a deal. Vale, give me the phone.
-Mom, the phone. -Just a sec.
We made a deal.
Look.
Look. These are all the files.
Deleted.
Thank you, Catalina. I'm sorry.
Come on.
Apology accepted.
We did it. He confessed.
The diploma!
My dad's here!
Go, go!
Alright, that's enough. Let go of my dad.
Excuse us.
Dad, what's wrong?
Dad, look! I graduated!
Let's celebrate.
What's wrong?
Dad, what is it? Let's go home.
I can't go with you. You aren't my family anymore.
They're my new family.
Go tell your mother and sister
I don't ever want to see them again.
Let's go, Dad.
Come on, sweetheart.
Dad...
Dad?
Dad!
Cata, come on.
-What's wrong with him? -Let's go.
No. What's wrong with him?
-What's the matter with him? -What is it?
What was that all about? Why'd he go with them?
Cata!
I don't know...
He said to let go. He's acting strange.
He said we're not his family anymore.
-What the heck? -Albeiro said that?
He called them sweetheart.
-Those two? -Yeah.
-Are you sure? -I am, right, Vale?
I showed him the diploma...
Something's wrong with him. This isn't normal.
What'd they do to him? Why would they do this?
Mom, why'd it have to happen today?
You can eat whatever you want.
Watch it!
You deserve a good meal... Out of my way!
Let's go.
What's she doing here?
She was poisoning my daughter's head the other day..
She's a vulgar bitch.
How rude! Can you believe that?
What's wrong with him?
Yes!
I'm pregnant!
Finally!
I'm pregnant!
I promise we'll be with your father forever.
