I can make you an offer you can't refuse.
What is it?
I'd rather discuss it in private.
It's something only you and I should be privy to.
I think it's better if you tell Mr. Armando directly.
Why don't you just talk to him?
You'll understand when I tell you what it concerns.
What do you say?
They're coming.
Oh.
Hello.
Thanks for seeing us, Mr. Massu.
I hope we can work together.
Likewise, Mr. Mendoza.
Thank you.
Please come back.
You'll be welcomed with open arms.
If you need anything, we're at your service.
Betty, give him a card.
Excuse me.
Here you are. Goodbye.
Betty...
I'll be calling you.
You'll want to hear what I have to propose.
Remember, you and me.
Efrain, is that you?
Yes, Sofia. How are you this morning?
I'm fine.
How are you?
Great, thanks.
Listen, I'm really tired of fighting with you.
I think it's time we calmly talk and try to resolve our issues
without any fighting.
Fix our issues?
Be casual.
I agree. We need to settle things.
We should talk and stop fighting.
Where would you like to meet?
At La Trattoria. You love that place.
Is that alright?
Yes, I love that restaurant!
See you there. Bye.
Efrain wants to patch things up with me.
See?
God doesn't give you more than you can handle.
Oh, girls!
Hi, Patricia. How's life treating you?
Why are you calling me? I asked you not to.
Relax or you'll get wrinkles,
which would keep your from finding a wealthy husband
to support you.
You are so rude and pompous.
I know, and you're a spy.
Quite a good one from what I hear.
Who told you that?
Mata, who else?
That's why I'd like to talk.
Of course, if you don't want to, I don't care.
Unlike you.
You can imagine all I know about you.
Fine.
Where do you want to meet?
Sofia, don't scold him or badmouth the tramp.
Behave like a well-mannered lady.
I know it doesn't come naturally, but try your best.
Convince yourself that the other woman doesn't exist.
Okay.
Your objective is to fix your marriage.
I'm trying to apply your mascara.
Sofia, I brought you this blazer
that goes with your dress and this foulard
that Ines had to give you a touch of elegance and...
Are those the shoes you're wearing?
Aura Maria, let her wear yours.
Will do.
But her feet are bigger.
Good. They won't be tight.
You have to look triumphant, not all sloppy and disheveled.
You have to look good.
Mariana, touch up her hair so it doesn't look so flat.
I hate to be a wet blanket,
but what if he didn't call you to get back together?
Oh no!
No, sweetie. You're wrong.
Today Sofia got the Two of Cups, the love card.
Love is at her doorstep. It's got to be that, baby.
She's going to recover her love.
Don't be annoying, and don't bring up past mistakes.
Forget about that.
Remember, you are a lady that deserves respect.
The key word is reconciliation.
Reconciliation.
Yes, make it your mantra.
Reconciliation.
Sir.
I've been waiting for you. Just look at the time.
Now is when you're seeing me, sir?
I can be very busy, Demetrio.
Please come in. What can I get you?
I'm fine, thanks. I'll be honest with you.
I was fired from my job.
That's too bad. I'm really sorry.
I wasn't expecting it, and since I don't know how long
I'll be out of work, I need my money.
I was thinking, and I'm going to ask
that you stop the conciliation with my neighbors.
I'm sorry, but I already turned in that money, Demetrio.
What?
Yes.
I told you to wait.
The papers were already signed.
There was no way to stop the process.
That money's gone. You're not getting it back.
Thank you.
Sofia?
Yes.
What happened to you? You look different.
You probably just noticed the new lipstick.
Alright.
Sit.
Could you?
Alright.
It was very nice of you to ask me to a place I love.
This is where we celebrated
our first wedding anniversary, remember?
-Yeah? -Uh-huh.
No.
Okay, but you'll remember this.
This is where I told you we were pregnant with Efrain Jr.
Remember?
No.
I picked this place because I know you like the food here.
Right, but it's the thought that counts.
You remembered that I liked it.
Enough.
I've been wondering about what you wanted to say,
so just say it already.
You said you wanted to talk,
that you had the answer to our problems.
Alright, alright.
-We're going to work this out. -Yes!
We'll do it by tackling the problem at its root.
Great.
It's best if we stop arguing.
Absolutely! I agree.
And you can't try to kill Jenny whenever you see her.
I love her.
I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
Here are the divorce papers for you to sign.
It'll be over after you sign a couple of times.
I won't take too much of your time.
If you could. Don't wrinkle the paper.
You need to sign here and initial in the back.
Sofia.
Sofia!
Hi, Mom.
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
Sweetie, you were right. We didn't get the money back.
Your father's very worried.
Don't worry about a thing.
Tell Dad to calm down and you should do the same.
I... I know this will all work out.
Let me see what I can do, okay?
Oh, the horror!
This computer for average employees is being weird.
Oh, no! No, no, no!
Delete! Delete!
Ah!
V&M Fashion, Patricia speaking.
Don't you know her extension so you can reach her directly?
Fine! I'll transfer you now.
Beatriz, you have a call.
Hello? Who's this?
How are you, Betty?
It's Fernando Massu, CEO of Fabrics by Me.
You and Armando Mendoza came to see us earlier today.
Remember me?
You know, I was wondering if we could meet to talk.
Mr. Massu, I don't think I can today.
Call me Fernando.
If you'd like, we could talk somewhere else.
Would you be okay with joining me for dinner at Le Blanc?
That's fine.
I can pick you up at your office.
No, no. I'll meet you there.
Does eight sound good? You can set the time.
Perfect.
Till then.
See you later.
See you.
Life is so unfair.
She has nothing to wear to a dinner at Le Blanc.
Sofia.
Sofia!
How dare you, you bastard?
Sorry. You weren't answering.
I was... trying to wrap my head around how miserable you are,
how selfish.
Efrain, we've been together for 20 years.
20 years?
I loved you for 20 years. I gave you two sons.
Together, we made a home for ourselves, started a family,
opened a business. Does that mean nothing?
Yeah, but I fell in love with Jenny.
Isn't that enough?
Besides...
I mean, look at yourself. You're older.
It's nothing personal, though. Don't take it the wrong way.
How should I take it, you idiot?
Please be quiet!
Efrain, you're killing me.
There's no need to get hysterical.
Don't make a scene.
Behave like a lady. You're a lady.
Act accordingly.
Yes! Act serenely.
That's it.
What?
Oh, yes.
-Act serenely. -Yes, serenely.
Sign already.
Hurry.
It's hot, Sofia!
I'm sorry!
Let me cool you off.
It's cold, Sofia!
Sorry, sorry.
You have to try the house specialty.
What are you doing, you lunatic?
Serenity pasta.
Excuse me!
It's okay.
Oh, where are my coupons?
Patty.
You look like you're waiting to be picked up
by a handsome man in a red sports car.
Or something like that, Hugo.
Excuse me.
Forget the pleasantries. Get out of my sight.
Your presence hurts my eyes. Leave, leave!
What horrid sight with that hair and glasses!
Oh, the horror!
Babe, I'll go ask the valet to bring our car around.
-Take your time. -Sure.
Oh, Hugo. You are mean.
You and I need to talk.
Are you afraid of me?
-No. -No?
Well, you should be.
I don't like people who stick their noses
where they don't belong.
How would you call them? Nosy?
Busybodies?
If you're referring to what happened earlier,
I wasn't spying on you. I needed to make copies
-and that's when I saw... -Nothing happened!
You're going to marry Mr. Lombardi.
That's not fair!
Mr. Lombardi won't find out!
If you open your mouth, guess who he'll listen to?
The man he loves or an ugly troll like you?
He really doesn't like you, by the way.
Here's what we'll do:
If you don't mess with me, we're good.
If you open your mouth and you say anything,
I'll make sure every day of your miserable life is hell.
Understood? Yes?
Yes.
-Understood? -Yes, yes.
Great.
Please leave us alone.
Thank you.
Sit.
Don't.
Lie down.
If you think I came here to sleep with you,
you're dead wrong.
Okay, then sit.
Although I'm sure you look better lying down.
What do you want? I really don't get you.
Did you ask me here to talk or blackmail me?
Blackmail you?
Why do you say that?
What do you mean why?
You asked your secretary to leave us alone
and then you asked me to lie down.
What's the matter with you? What did Mata tell you?
Oh, Patricia, you're dying to sleep with me.
You're an idiot.
Hey...
I liked the idea of the sexual blackmail,
but what would Roberto, Margarita, Marcela
or Armando say if they learned you were involved
in something so shameful as what happened yesterday?
You'd lose the trust and friendship of the Mendozas
and your job and the salary Marcela got you.
In conclusion, you'd lose it all.
What do you want?
That's more like it.
I want you to keep me informed.
I want to know about every deal, financial transaction,
and every decision Armando and Beatriz make.
And I don't want a repeat of what happened yesterday, okay?
Patricia, I want you to use your head to think
and be selective about the information you gather.
Anything else?
Yes.
Yes, there's something else.
The information has to be delivered in person.
We can talk here.
At your apartment.
Or any motel will do.
Have you called Sofia?
I called her a few times, but she didn't answer.
Things probably didn't go well.
Sandra, bite your tongue! Quit being so negative.
I'm worried about her.
There she is.
Look at the state she's in.
What happened?
Girls... it was pointless.
He wanted to work things out...
by getting divorced.
Well, then you'll need a good lawyer.
-No! -Huh?
I'm not signing the divorce.
I made a promise before God and I'm going to keep it.
I'm going to remain Efrain Montes' wife till I die.
Oh, Sofi.
Don't cry, girl.
Oh!
Good evening.
Sit down, please.
I'm glad you made it.
I went ahead and ordered wine. I hope that's okay.
I don't drink, sir.
When the waiter comes by, you can order whatever you want.
Betty, now that I'm getting a closer look at you,
I must say that there's a strange beauty about you.
You're eyes are alluring and your gaze is...
I'm nearsighted. I'm nearsighted and I'm ugly.
Don't try to seduce me because we both know why we're here.
You want to bribe me.
Let's not waste any more time. How much are we talking about?
