SOME CHARACTERS AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL.
CC: TELEMUNDO NETWORK
It's a real shame to lose money like this, boss.
If I were you, I would've jointed this cow and sold it.
It was poisoned.
You can't do anything with a poisoned animal.
Who would do such a terrible thing?
There are some evil people in this world.
"ONE-WAY TICKET"
Right here is fine, sir.
Keep the change. Thanks.
Alright, honey. I'll help you.
That's it.
Welcome to your new home.
Tell me more about your trip.
It was so long. You have no idea. Come here.
I bet it was.
What matters is that you're here, though.
Were you able to get all your things in order before leaving?
I sold everything and closed my bank accounts.
Most importantly, I got my pension.
-You have all your money there? -I couldn't leave it behind.
I had to bring my life savings.
How'd you get it in the country?
Oh, there's always a friend or an officer willing to help.
You're right about that.
Let's keep a low profile, though.
We're not in your country.
Baby, this is your new house.
Give Daddy a kiss and thank him for having us.
He's going to treat us like princesses.
What's her name?
Alicia.
That's not really a pet name, is it?
Let me introduce you.
Mom, come meet someone.
Welcome.
Thank you.
A little close?
No, honey.
My son and I are one.
Not for nothing,
but the Lord granted me the best son in the world.
That's so nice.
What about Jose's dad?
Why aren't there any pictures of him?
I hope you're hungry.
This is delicious. You have to eat it all.
His lasagna is finger-licking good.
You're so sweet, Mom.
Sit down. I'll serve you.
No, Mom, relax.
I'll serve you.
You two are my queens, the ladies of the house.
I hit the jackpot with you.
I'll go get Alicia.
Go ahead. She must be starving.
Honey, come with Mommy.
Oh, Mom.
Tell me what you really think.
At first glance, she looks like a good woman.
Right?
But isn't she a little older than Maritza?
Mom, are you going to start nagging me
about dating women my age again?
You know I don't like immature girls
that you need to finish raising and then support.
Alright, enough. I won't say another word.
But don't you think the way she came here was a bit hurried?
She dropped everything she had in Argentina
to come to live with you right away and get married.
Love is like that.
Maybe, but not the law.
You were married to Maritza less than six months ago.
Don't worry, Mom.
Maritza won't bother us again.
Trust me. I know.
There she is.
What does the dog eat?
Same as us.
Really? Okay.
We're not going to the bank to deposit the money?
-We can do that later. -What'd you have in mind?
To show you how badly I've wanted you.
I missed you so much.
I love you.
Don't you see what you're doing? He's a kid. You just met.
You left your life behind and sold everything.
What's wrong with you?
Stop. We fell in love.
We're going to get married.
I'd like it if my family shared that moment with me.
Alright, fine. You know I love and support you.
I'm really happy to see how excited you are
to plan your wedding.
I'll talk to Mom.
You know she's harsh, but I'll convince her.
When are you getting married?
I knew I could count on you. That's why I love you.
The date would be...
I lost the connection!
Hold on a sec.
What are you doing?
Talking to my sister. Why'd you close the laptop?
There's information in here from when I worked with the police.
I don't want you to use it.
Next time you want to call, you can borrow my tablet.
It's easier.
Okay.
Mom!
Come show Elsa.
You're going to die.
-Good morning, sweetie. -Good morning.
We were going over these options for your wedding dress.
Which do you like?
Oh, okay.
I think this one is gorgeous.
Will you accompany me to the bank to open the account?
-I have another surprise. -What?
The bank manager is a friend.
He'll come here to open the account.
Then we'll go see about the business.
Okay, great.
-Which did you like, Mom? -This one.
Nicole?
Yes, that girl who was calling Jose.
No.
I don't know.
I'm guessing she's a friend,
but she's nowhere near as important as you.
Why do you say that?
Because if she were, I would have already met her.
Thank you for understanding.
Not just any mother would like for their son
to marry an older woman.
I'm not just any mother.
Plus, if you make him happy, then you make me happy too.
He's suffered a lot.
I think you could cure him and help him be different.
Cure him how?
What do you mean by different?
Like this.
This is just how my boy likes his eggs.
Don't you think he's asking for very little?
Why don't we go back and tell that guy that we're in?
I love it and we should invest in a restaurant.
I don't know, honey. I would look into other options.
Maybe a mechanic shop. A restaurant is a lot of work.
How many times have we discussed this?
You love to cook and we need to invest our money in our future.
We can't experiment haphazardly.
I didn't know that saying what I think was being haphazard
or that you know more than I do about business in Colombia.
Relax, I didn't say that.
No, you know more than I do and the money is yours.
Let's just leave it at that.
Sweetie! Don't get like that!
Don't make that face, Elsa.
When you choose to get married, there will always be arguments.
You can't give up on everything
because you suddenly disagree on something.
I feel like I was too harsh.
I made him feel like a kid.
May I say something?
Sweetie, I don't...
Honey...
this is for you.
I'm sorry for the way I reacted.
No, I'm sorry.
It's so beautiful.
I'm sure it was expensive.
A little.
-Are you still upset? -No, of course not.
Actually, that dress is too modest.
That bothers me a little.
Don't you like it?
I think it's appropriate for my age.
It's fine, but not for you.
You have a gorgeous body. Show it off.
The dress my mom likes is much better.
You think so? With that décolletage?
Don't you remember how you won me over?
Don't underestimate yourself.
You're a babe. You're gorgeous.
I have a surprise.
Come outside with me.
Let's go.
The surprise.
Come on, Mom.
Come, honey.
Look at this beauty!
Check this out.
What's this?
This is what we both deserve.
Well, the three of us. You deserve it too.
4X4, hydraulic steering, luxury rims, 450 horsepower.
What do you think?
It's great. It cost you a lot, didn't it?
It cost us a lot.
Remember, from now on we have to speak in plural.
We're not married yet, but I feel like we are.
How much did it cost us?
Not much.
I had to use some of our savings,
but I'll replace it as soon as I close a deal
I have in the works.
I couldn't pass up such a great deal!
Why didn't we discuss this beforehand?
I mean, do we need a car this big?
Fine, fine. Don't listen to me.
That's my girl!
Sit in your throne. Go on.
Feel that. You can feel the power without turning it on.
Come here, Mom.
Get in. You have a seat too.
All the groceries fit in there. Let's go for a spin.
So you say it's $40,000,
which at today's exchange rate is 1,240,000 pesos.
Everything is in order.
Under whose name will the account be?
-Mine. -Both of ours.
It's fine if it's under my name
and we can authorize Jose to make withdrawals.
-Okay, honey? -Sure.
Perfect. May I see your ID, Ms. Elsa?
I don't have one yet. Is it absolutely necessary?
Yes, of course.
I need a legal document from you.
Let's do the paperwork first and then we'll open the account.
We could open it in my name in the meantime.
We don't want that money here at home.
When you get your ID, we'll add you to the account.
Can we do that?
Yes, of course. Let me use your ID.
No, that's okay.
I'll get my ID and then we'll open the account.
Okay, just let me know when you're available.
Sure.
Thanks for your time, Andres.
Sure. I'll be expecting your call.
Of course. Thanks.
It was a pleasure.
Bye, thank you.
Look...
it's not that I don't trust you,
but these are my life's savings. Sorry if I made you feel bad.
No.
It's your money. You know what to do with it.
You've made that very clear.
Alicia, honey.
Alicia!
Have you seen Alicia?
No, honey. She must be around.
I'll go check downstairs. I'll be back.
Okay, but hurry. It's time for bed.
Sweetie!
Alicia, come here!
Alicia, sweetie!
Sweetie?
No.
No, no!
-What's wrong? -She's dead!
-What? -Yes, she's dead!
-My baby is dead! -How did this happen?
I'm so sorry, honey.
She's dead.
Oh, my God, no! She must've eaten poisoned meat.
The neighbors leave it around for the stray dogs.
My baby.
Come on!
My baby...
This is it.
Do you think I feel like looking at a guest list?
Alicia is dead and you don't care.
Sweetie, I know your pet's death is very painful,
but we could get you another one.
Alicia was not a toy that can be replaced.
Mom, please.
Sorry, Elsa.
I didn't mean to upset you or be insensitive.
It's just that the wedding plans are underway
and there are so many things to finish.
I actually just spoke to the priest.
He made room for the ceremony
and we have to go pay for the service.
My mom is right, honey.
By the way, I went to get money from the bag for the church
and for the dinner deposit, but I couldn't find it.
I moved it. Why?
Weren't you going to pay for the church and the dinner?
Excuse me.
Again with that?
First, the stunt with the bank account,
then you hide the money because you think I'll steal it
and now you make me look bad in front of my mother.
-I have my own money. -Enough already.
I'm not trying to belittle you, but I'm over this.
If you hate it when we argue in front of your mother,
keep your word and get us our own place.
I'm working on it, but there's a lot to do.
You had plenty of time to figure that out before I got here,
but you didn't do anything about that or the business.
You let the restaurant go.
All you do is ride around in the truck everywhere.
Tell me, where do you go?
Why don't you tell me where you go and with whom?
I have my own things.
For your information, I had a life too before I met you.
A life I don't know about or fit into.
What now?
Are you demanding explanations as if I were a child?
I'm the man of the house here.
Just because you're almost my mother's age
doesn't give you the right to act like her.
If you feel like such a man, then act like one.
Grown men don't ask women for money to buy things.
What? Are you going to hit me?
