You two get along really well.
You are really useful to Armando.
He called you essential.
You have a special relationship, don't you?
Mr. Armando and I make a great team.
We're working to carry out his business plan
and his dream to expand.
And you get along?
Uh-huh... yeah.
We're empathic with each other and we've got great synergy.
I can tell.
Armando's very lucky to have you.
I'm glad he's found someone
who's as committed to her work as you are.
You're a great motivation.
I have a favor to ask of you. Well, two in actuality.
First, my son is a visionary.
He has very ambitious goals... sometimes too ambitious.
I really would like you to help keep him grounded.
Second, force him to indulge a little bit.
Allow him to stay present in his relationship with Marcela.
I would love for them to have a family, a home,
children, grandchildren.
Nothing would make me happier.
Margarita, finally!
I've been looking for you.
Well, our conversation has been cut short, Beatriz,
but I'm counting on you.
Excuse us.
You look great.
Thanks.
What were you doing with Beatriz?
I didn't know you two talked.
I was studying her.
I wanted to know more about her
and about what kind of relationship she has
with Armando.
Relationship? What do you mean?
Armando really trusts her
and I have a feeling they make good use of that trust.
I don't know how.
You'll have to excuse me, but I can't stand that woman.
You have a lot to learn.
I've been married 30 years to the president of this company.
I know how to deal with this sort of situation.
Beatriz is a smart, well-prepared,
efficient, and useful woman, but that's it.
She's not a threat, not as a woman.
You have nothing to worry about.
I know what I'm talking about.
My foot hurts. Careful.
I'm in recovery.
What do you want now?
I need to know if you're going to accept my offer.
Time is running out
and I'm getting tired of your indecisiveness.
You're pressuring me and none of this is my fault.
You're the one who doesn't want this baby because you pity me.
No, because I wasn't looking for a baby.
I'm giving you the $20,000 you asked for.
What more do you want?
-A car. -Huh?
Yeah, I thought about it and my baby and I deserve it.
You're taking advantage of me.
Don't be stingy. You have a lot of money.
Just give me the car, the apartment, and the money
and I'll go to California.
-I'll take Danielito with me. -Who?
Obviously that'll be the baby's name if he's a boy.
Daniel Jr.
Sir, if you want me to modify anything, just let me know.
There's still time.
No, everything's perfect.
These numbers make it seem
like V&M's finances are perfectly balanced.
-No one will suspect anything. -Yay!
And guess what?
The sales reports on the new lingerie and swimsuit line
really helped us out.
Yeah, but you did an amazing job, Betty.
However, I don't think I'm ready to present this.
I'm confused between the real numbers and these.
I think you should present the report.
-Me? -Yes.
Sir, you're the president.
Besides, the stockholders expect you to do it.
But you know these numbers inside and out.
You can answer any questions. Please.
I'll be right there with you. I won't say anything.
-You'll only look pretty. -Yeah.
We're in this together, right?
Yeah.
Have you heard of Miami International Broker Service?
No. Never.
That's weird.
Somebody told me you'd once done business with them.
Please, Uncle, who told you that?
Daniel?
If it had been Daniel, what would be the problem?
No, no problem, but...
Are you familiar with them or not?
Let me think.
What did you say they were called?
Miami International Broker Service.
Oh, I think I know who you're referring to.
They're out of Miami, right?
Yes, Miami.
I talked to them once to use their services,
but I didn't care much for the broker
so we didn't do any business with them.
I thought you didn't know them.
Did you do business with them or not?
No.
No, Uncle. Not at all.
That's great because they're con artists.
I just found out they defrauded a company in New York.
Know who it could've been?
No idea.
I don't understand how you don't know
who these people's victim is.
Nothing's a secret in this industry.
Look, Uncle, the truth is...
Dad, we're about to begin the meeting.
We're just waiting for Daniel.
And Maria Lucia, but she's probably not even aware.
Uh, no.
Maria Lucia is in Nepal.
Nepal? Doing what? Looking for a Sherpa?
That or spiritual peace.
Let's go, Dad.
Can I help you?
We're here to see Mr. Armando Mendoza.
Okay. Do you have an appointment?
Gentlemen?
Hello, ma'am.
We're here to see Mr. Armando Mendoza.
Do you have an appointment?
No, but it's a very important.
We don't need an appointment. Am I right, Frank?
Right, Peter.
Well, Mr. Armando's in a stockholders meeting.
I don't think he'll be able to see you.
Do you know when he'll be available?
We really need to talk to him.
That's going to be tough.
Today, after the meeting, he has a collection launch.
Like I said, I don't think he'll be able to see you.
-Excuse me. -Very kind of you.
This is the last thing we needed.
He probably found out we're seizing the company
and he's avoiding us. Typical.
He couldn't have found out.
Even Beatriz didn't know we were coming.
We need to get in there.
We're seizing this company today!
How nice of you, Beatriz! Thanks.
I've always hated meetings, but now I despise them.
How disgusting.
Hugo, please!
Before we start, I'd like to ask everyone
to please remain civilized and respectful, most of all.
Uh-huh.
Go ahead, son.
Well, today we'll be presenting the latest report.
-Guess what? -What?
Betty will do the presentation.
-Seriously, Armando? -Yeah.
-Again your secretary? -Uh-huh.
So what is it you do again?
Daniel.
What is it, Marcela?
Let's not be disrespectful.
Alright.
Beatriz, have you considered being our president?
Because it seems like we gave you the company
and not Armando.
That Case Closed episode was really good.
It was about a woman deceiving two men.
She pretended to be pregnant
and tricked both into thinking it was theirs.
Why? What for?
Just wait. It's about to get juicy.
Go ahead.
She demanded an entire house in Malibu from one of them.
Plus, $20,000 a month and a new car.
Can you imagine? How shameless!
She was doing it for the money.
Sounds like someone who'd sell her own mother for cash.
You think so?
What'd Dr. Polo do? Send her to jail?
Wait, Sandra. There's more.
Go ahead.
She told the other guy she was lying to
that he had to marry her in church.
I don't get it. What's the point?
She couldn't keep both of them.
Obviously.
But wait a second. Who was the plaintiff?
Huh?
By the way, I DVR all the episodes
and I haven't seen that one.
When did it air?
It hasn't aired yet.
I saw the preview, but I know it's going to be really good.
I'm dying to find out the resolution
and what'll happen to that... woman.
Careful, Giovanni. Don't push me.
Wait.
No!
Oh, no!
These pieces are worth a fortune!
Get them off the floor!
Worry not, Inesita!
I've got everything under control.
Hold on.
Giovanny... Oh, God!
It's okay, Inesita.
Here you are, Bertha!
What do you want?
-How much do you know? -Let go!
Look, I'm sick of you!
You've been torturing me all day!
First it was that disgusting shake
you almost poisoned me with
and then you gave me these awful squeaky shoes
that reek of poverty!
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm only taking good care of the mommy and her baby.
Listen up, meatball!
Stop lying.
What do you want?
Did you call me...
meatball?
Uh-huh.
Good morning. What can I help you with?
Hello.
We're looking for Mr. Armando Mendoza.
Mr. Armando is in a shareholders meeting.
And you are?
We're Ms. Beatriz Rincon's lawyers.
What?
We're expected at the stockholders meeting.
We don't want the stockholders of this distinguished company
to have to wait.
-Am I right, Frank? -You always are, Peter.
Alright, go ahead.
-Excuse me. -Sure.
On page 4, you'll find the variables
for the second-quarter projections.
Beatriz, what about our losses?
If they're not reported in here, this report is a fake.
It's impossible for V&M not to have had losses
after that collection we sold at Mogollon's Market.
That's enough, Daniel!
My father asked us to be respectful.
Everything in this report is true.
Well, I don't believe you.
This doesn't reflect the company's current situation.
This isn't a report.
We're not hiding anything.
Yes, you are, because it's not here!
Hello, hello.
Ms. Beatriz Rincon.
