WHO IS WHO?
Perico, calm down. What's wrong?
These last few days
I've discovered I'm a horrible person.
I disgust myself.
I have affairs with many women,
I propose to any of them, just because.
And I'm even capable of betraying my best friend.
Well, yes. Yes, you are mean, Perico.
Why should I deny it?
But I don't know what you expect me to do.
Paloma...
I need something good in my life.
Something to hold on to.
I want to stop being the cynical, unscrupulous man I was.
-I want to do the right thing. -Yes.
You have many flaws, but many virtues too.
You're a good son, a good brother.
A lot of people here are grateful to you.
You'd take the shirt off your back to help someone.
Not just women.
I was 16. Perico, you were my first boyfriend.
Don't say you don't care about me, because I won't believe you.
I do care,
as the good friend you've been since then.
I believe you.
Paloma, if I hadn't been such a jerk to you,
how do you think things would be between us?
Perico, life took us along very different paths.
Or rather, we each chose our own path.
I don't know, I don't think we did so bad.
Humberto was delighted with my presentation,
so he didn't hesitate in giving me the Spaniards' project.
Great job, honey. I knew it!
I'm sure you'll go far in this company.
Sooner or later, Humberto will realize
you'd be much better in charge than his crazy son.
-Good evening. -Hi, darling.
How are you?
Darling.
You've been neglecting me lately, sweetheart.
Well, I'll leave you two alone. I have a lot to do.
-With a girlfriend? -No, Mom.
With friends.
I still haven't met the woman
that can steal your son's heart.
So? Tell me. How was your day?
Well, not so good. But it's better now,
because I'm with you.
You're ruining it!
Her apartment is over here.
This song is for the love of my life!
Hit it, boys.
I want to live life
To adore you
I just want you
To let me see you
I know you think
I'm not being sincere
That I wasn't born to give myself
To you completely
Oh, but that's not so
I promise I'll never fail you again
Are you feeling better?
I'm still very confused,
but talking to you really helped.
You're strong, Paloma.
Perico, look.
I may be young, but when you have a child,
You'll see when you have yours.
Speaking of Cachito, Paloma...
I want to know something-- I'll understand
if you don't want to tell me, but it's important to me.
What is it?
-Is your son--? -Don't you understand
that I don't want you or your mother near my family?
And if you come back to me
You'll have me at your feet
And all to you
Give me once again
The chance to make...
-Hello? -Miss Fernanda?
I got a call from jail. It's bad news.
What happened to my brother?
Santiago is injured, in the infirmary.
He was attacked a few hours ago.
Fernandita!
I know you're there!
Open up, girl!
I love you with all my heart!
I'm sorry, but I see no reason to act that way.
-Paloma and I were just talking. -I don't care.
Don't ever come back, or I'll make sure you and your--
-Dad, please-- -You shut up!
I'm ashamed of you as it is.
And you're acting like a-- Let go.
Don't talk to her like that in front of me!
Calm down! You can't fix things this way.
I'm her father, and I'll talk to her however I want.
We could ask people at the market
to donate what they don't want and do a garage sale.
No, no. If we want real money,
let's go to the races and bet on horses.
Give $20, just $20, and I'll turn them into $1,000.
That's nonsense. Do you think we'll risk
what little money we have left? -Oh, I just want to help.
Hello?
What happened, Lupita?
What happened? You're scaring me.
Justino and Perico are about to come to blows.
Get over here.
I'm on my way. Yes, bye.
-I have to go. -What happened?
Nothing. Please give Grandma her medicine.
I'll be right back.
I wonder what could've happened.
Based on our bad luck lately,
Martians must have come and taken all the piñatas.
Grandma, you have to stop watching telenovelas.
Child.
Is my brother okay?
I'm trying to get permission to let you see him.
That's not what I asked. How is my brother?
I just know he was hurt.
We'll have to wait for the prison doctor--
No, listen. I can't wait. I must see Santiago.
-I must know how he is. -I'm sorry.
There's nothing I can do.
I promise I'll never fail you again
Being her father doesn't mean you can disrespect her.
I don't want to hurt you, so calm down!
Paloma told you, we were only talking!
Perico, I mean it, stop!
Insolent and shameless! I know you both very well.
Stop it, Dad. Stop insulting us.
Insulting you? An insult is sleeping
with the first guy you found and getting pregnant.
-That's an insult! -What's going on--?
Paloma. Paloma.
-What's going on here? -He's messing with Paloma
when he's marrying someone else.
But what could I expect
from a boy with a mother without morals, like yours?
-No, no, Perico, Pedro, wait! -Move!
He's not worth it.
Let him be.
Give me one more time
The chance to make you happy
To always be with you
And until the last second
Give myself to you
Fernandita!
Didn't you like the song?
"Executive Secretary wanted."
No.
"Japanese teacher," even less likely, Grandma.
I can't get a job.
You should have let me straighten him out, Inés.
Who? What happened?
Paloma's dad. He insulted her and Inés.
Oh, damn troglodyte.
-What did he say? -Nothing.
It doesn't matter.
Calling you immoral isn't "nothing," Inés.
He called you immoral? What's wrong with him?
Enough. I don't want to talk about it.
Good night. I'm going to bed.
What's wrong, honey?
-You fought with your dad again. -Yes, Mom.
I can't stand his insults and his rudeness, Mom.
He went to the market to yell at me
and he insulted Perico and me.
-Honey, why? -Why else?
Same as always. He takes every chance he gets
to shame me for being a single mom.
Honey, your father may be a little harsh,
but he only wants to protect you.
No, he wants to control us, and that's different.
If it were up to him,
he'd keep us under lock and key.
Oh, honey. You're very upset, Palomita.
Really, the more you confront him,
the worse it'll be, sweetie.
He may have a temper, but he isn't mean.
He's always been good to you and Cachito.
I'm grateful to him for putting a roof over our heads,
but do you think it's fair payback
to make me feel bad whenever he wants?
Should Cachito have to hear him talk to me like that?
Look, Paloma. He's your father.
He knows why he does what he does.
If you were less rebellious, he wouldn't mess with you.
So stop turning this into a problem, sweetie.
Stop it.
