RICH IN LOVE
Dad?
That's... Dad.
Accept!
It's Dad! What's your problem?
Hi, sweethearts. How are you?
Dad!
Mom! It's Dad!
Dad called!
I was finally able to call you all.
It's so nice to hear from you.
You had us very worried.
Where are you, Daddy?
So how's work?
There's a statue of the virgin outside, Daddy.
I pray to her a lot so that you'll come back,
but I don't think it's working.
How are you, Dad? I miss you.
Did you get all my emails?
I don't have much Internet access, honey.
I'll write you as soon as I can though.
I miss you all a lot too.
Have faith. We'll see each other soon.
Angie, aren't you going to say anything?
How are you?
I've been helping Mom, just like everyone else.
We're living in such a charming little place.
When are you coming back, Daddy?
We go to public school and they bully us a lot.
Daddy, I don't care
if you don't bring us back any gifts.
Of course I'm going to bring you gifts.
I know you probably can't call, Dad,
but at least reply to my emails.
Text me or something.
That's enough.
Let's leave your mom and dad to talk.
Now you know that he's okay.
You're going to call them back, right?
-Now let's go. -Of course I will.
-But... -I said let's go.
Upstairs now.
Let's go.
Please, Mommy!
Convince Daddy to come back.
Bye.
Let's go, honey.
Call back soon, Dad. I miss seriously you.
I'll call back soon.
-Let's go. -I love you, Daddy!
I love you all very, very much.
I want you to trust me, Chivis.
I'm your husband.
We've been married 20 years
and I've never let you down.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Why didn't you warn me?
I had to find out about everything from the police
and your illustrious lawyer.
Did you forget that you were my husband?
I did made a bad deal. That's all.
I need your support right now, not your criticism.
My support?
You forgot that you had three daughters.
You should've at least said goodbye to us
instead of leaving the way that you did
without saying anything.
I never thought I'd have to go on the run.
I swear to you.
This hurts me more than it hurts you.
Don't talk to me about pain.
You're a coward.
You don't do this to your family.
Work and business are one thing
and your family is another.
I've had to deal with all of this alone,
alone!
Please forgive me.
Just give me a little more time.
I promise I'll fix everything
and things will go back to the way we used to be.
Things will never going back to the way they used to be.
I'm not the same person anymore.
I thought that you were an honest man.
You were my husband
and you were going to protect me from everything,
but that's not what happened.
Just give me some more time.
Please, just a bit more time.
Time?
How much time?
How much longer should I wait for you?
I can't answer that right now,
but I swear that I will return.
I promise everything will be okay.
CONNECTION LOST
Angie isn't for you, Jorge.
Besides, you barely know her.
So what?
You told me that when you met Mom,
you fell in love instantly,
that it was love at first sight.
Yes, but I was over 20.
It's different.
Plus, I didn't have a girlfriend.
You're with Margarita.
And your mother and I were more alike
than you and Angie are.
No, we are alike.
We're both cool people.
She's not stuck up at all.
I'm not saying she's stuck up,
but she is different.
You were both raised differently.
Like you all say, you're not from the same crowd.
Then how come you can be friends with her Mom?
Exactly. We're only friends.
That's how I know that it wouldn't work out.
They're too different from us.
Why do we have to be alike though?
You're discriminating right now, Shark.
You've told me we're not supposed to do that.
There are certain things that hold too much weight.
For example, they come from
a more conservative background than ours.
But if two people like each other, that doesn't matter.
Up until a month ago,
Angie had never been on a bus before.
She probably doesn't even know how to make her bed.
So what?
We have different values.
She sees life differently.
She comes from a completely different world.
Yes, but now she's living in our world.
She's adapting and getting used to our world.
Angie is such a simple girl.
She's going to leave eventually.
It's not that she's a bad person.
I like her a lot, as I do her mother...
but it's a cultural thing.
Let's call it that.
Believe me, it just wouldn't work out.
Be her friend, but please, don't fall in love
or you'll suffer a lot.
Let it all out, honey.
Remember when your father died?
You comforted me,
and you were so little.
You gave me strength so that I wouldn't break down.
I remember, Mom,
but I can't deal with this anymore.
I don't know what to do.
Oh, honey...
did he at least tell you when he'd come back
DÓNDE ESTABA, ALGO, HIJITA?
No, he didn't say anything.
I don't know where he is or when he'll come back
or when he'll call again or anything.
What kind of trouble must the poor thing be in?
Stop feeling sorry for him, Mom.
Not only is he a bad husband,
but he's also a bad father.
Did you see the girls' reaction?
Lupita wanted to climb inside the TV
so she could give her father a hug.
What about Maria Jose?
Holding back how much shame she feels
and how desperate she is.
What about Angie?
I can't even say anything.
She was so angry.
She was Antonio Jose's favorite.
You have to give me some credit though.
I held back a lot too.
I didn't tell him that we live in a truly horrible duplex
and that you've got me running errands for you.
It's okay to laugh, honey.
Just laugh.
I have all these doubts, Mom.
I ask myself so many questions.
Was I ever really in love with Antonio Jose?
Bah!
Of course you were and you still are, Chivis.
It's just that, right now, you're disappointed
and confused,
but that will all pass, honey.
Antonio Jose is your husband
and you married in the church.
That union is forever.
He is and will always be the only man for you.
What do you mean you quit?
I don't understand.
You were really happy working there.
Thank you, Lord, for listening to my prayers.
What happened?
Something truly unpleasant happened.
Don't worry though. Everything's okay now.
Don't tell us half the story.
What happened?
...Rafael tried to make a pass at me.
-What? -Goodness grief!
I can't believe it.
What's that dirty old man's problem?
Did he do something to you?
No, honey. Luckily nothing happened.
He didn't get to do anything to me.
That jerk seemed like a respectful person.
You see that? More bad luck.
Bad luck always comes in multiples.
Oh, dear... my blood pressure is going up.
-Mom... -Breathe in...
Quitting was a good decision, Mom.
That guy did help you,
but that doesn't give him the right to make a pass at you.
In fact, we should go to the police.
Absolutely not.
-Why not? -He's an attorney.
He could win this.
I already cut off all communication with him
so I'm sure that he's not going to bother me again.
That's so horrible.
So now what are we going to live off of?
This is a problem.
I'll have to find another job.
In the meantime,
we'll live off of the money from the SUV.
I sold it.
TRINIDAD Y MARÍA JOSÉ: ¿QUÉ?
Wait, the only car we had left...
now we all have to walk places?
Why don't you try
to bring solutions to the table instead?
I wear heels every day.
I can't be getting around on foot.
I know it's very important to you,
but please stop.
Everyone calm down.
Please, that's enough.
I don't want Lupita to know about this either.
Okay?
Now, please, stop being so upset.
After a storm, comes a calm, right?
Right on, Mom.
How about I make you some yummy eggs?
My favorite! Yes, please!
How would you like them, honey?
You're still going to spoil her?
I always spoil you all.
Please make her favorite dish too.
Yes, I will.
You're both my sweet, wonderful daughters.
Why are you hugging without me?
-Don't you love me anymore? -Of course we do, honey!
Come here.
I have a hug for you too.
What about me?
Aren't I a part of this beautiful family too?
Okay, let's all of us hug then.
I want a hug too.
This is so great!
We have to love each other
or we won't have anything left.
I hope that's true, Grandma,
'cause you're always fighting.
So who's going to help Mom make the eggs?
You all go. I'll wait right here.
FISH MARKET
Here you are.
Thanks.
What are you doing? Don't get yourself dirty.
I'm putting together a gift for my friend.
You are?
-Will you help me? -Of course, honey.
Don't you think it's too much though?
That's exactly what I want.
This weighs a lot.
Sure you don't want me to help you?
-Put it on top. -You sure?
The other way.
This one on the bottom...
And this one on top.
Wish me luck!
Of course!
Say hi to your friend.
Where is she going with all that seafood?
Curiosity killed the cat.
I can't believe you're helping her humiliate herself.
She's only going to get hurt by Manuel.
Look, you'd better not tell the boss.
If you ruin Stella's plan...
Oh, boy!
She's going to grab you
and twist you and wring you
and turn you into bait.
Come get your mussels!
Mussels!
My mom is out of a job.
I really feel like this isn't our year.
Don't say that.
Alright, listen,
I have reasons to believe that this is a good year.
-Want to hear them? -Okay.
Here it goes.
Reason number one: You found a very nice house
next door to some very cool people.
And they're very simple too.
Sure.
That's reason number one.
Reason number two: Your mom is very cool.
I'm sure she's going to find something soon.
Don't worry.
Yeah, she's great.
Hey, I don't want to be nosy or anything,
but how old were you
when you found out that your mom was sick?
I don't know... about eight.
Wow. You were very young.
What did they tell you?
That she was very sick
and that she couldn't play with us anymore.
When did you find out... that she was going to die?
I remember one day I went into their bedroom
and I saw my dad crying.
He didn't really have a choice but to tell me.
I don't know your dad very well,
but from what I've seen, he's a cool guy.
He's very close to you guys.
You can tell he's your friend.
Yeah, I tell Shark everything.
My dad called us on Skype last night.
-Really? -Yeah.
-Seriously? -Yeah.
I told you things were going to be okay.
Well, no. It's not that simple.
My mom acts tough,
but I'm sure she doesn't know how to deal with all this.
I think...
I should get a job to help her out.
Really?
Yes, I think it's the least I can do.
Do you have any suggestions...
I have the perfect solution.
Check it out.
My brother goes to this salsa club by the house
and knows the manager there.
We could talk to him,
see if he'll hire you as a waitress,
and problem solved.
A waitress?
Okay, yes.
I'm only 18 though.
Don't you need to be at least 21 to...
Sure, but it won't matter.
We'll talk to the manager
or you can use your sister's ID.
I don't want to lie or to get in any trouble.
Trouble? No way.
We're not going to get in any trouble.
You'll make good money
and with tips, you'll make even more.
It's the best solution, okay?
Fine.
There's no better solution.
Fine, but we have to be discreet.
My mom doesn't want me to work
and I don't want to worry her.
-Nobody will find out... -Hi, sweetie.
Can we talk about something when you're done?
Please?
