May I?
Ricky... we need to talk.
Uh-oh.
When a woman says we need to talk, it's always bad news.
What happened?
No, that's not always the case.
I think you're actually going to be very happy.
I've decided that I'm not going to marry you
and that I'm going to raise this baby on my own.
-What? -Yes. That's right.
I don't want you to marry me because you have to.
You obviously don't love me.
Patricia, please! What are you talking about?
Whoever said you needed love to get married?
See?
I know it'll be very hard for me to raise the baby on my own,
but I prefer that to raising it in a loveless household.
Therefore, it's going to be my baby and me.
Above all, I get to keep my dignity.
-What are you laughing at? -Have you gone mad?
You hit your head too hard yesterday.
What the hell are you talking about?
Let me spell it out for you.
You are never, ever going to see me again.
I'm going somewhere far, far away.
I wish you happiness, even if it's without me.
Bye.
She rejected me.
Patricia Fernandez rejected me.
Oh, Betty.
If you really thought of me as your best friend,
you would take me to the show.
Nico, I don't want to be mean. I just can't.
Especially not after what happened today.
You almost ruined everything
during our meeting with the lawyers.
By the way, what did they say?
They're set on charging us an extra five percent.
They need more.
-More? -Uh-huh.
-That's not right. -Of course it isn't.
Especially since they know or they're on to
the shady business you and Mr. Armando are involved in.
There's no shady business, but you know what?
We can't make them angry. They know too much.
We have to tell them we'll give them an extra 10%.
-10%? - 10%, not a penny more.
I ironed it very carefully and it hardly smells of mothballs.
-Right, Nicolas? -Let me see.
A brisk walk and a little perfume
will get rid of the scent.
I forgot I'd put it away with the winter clothes.
It's very elegant. It's real velvet.
You're going to look beautiful.
Thanks.
I'll go get you some earrings and shoes to go with it.
Okay.
I feel dizzy after catching a whiff of your dress.
If you wear that, you'll look right out of the 1800s.
I have to wear it. She looked so excited.
I don't want to hurt her.
Besides, it's not like I'm going to look bad.
I always do.
I'm just practicing for Halloween.
The makeup must look natural.
Remember that the name of the show is Rebirth.
I'll be right back.
Look who's here! Armie!
-Don't tell me. -What?
Are you here to meet the models
or to say hello and to sure I haven't taken a job offer
-from one of your competitors? -I'm in no mood.
I came to see if you need anything.
I do, now that you mention it.
I need a raise and a paid trip to Europe.
Yes, of course.
I see you're starting to twitch.
You probably want to know if Valentina's ready, don't you?
-No. -I know you.
I came to check on everything
and to see if you and the models are here.
You're all essential.
Please cherish Marce, Armie.
I don't want this to be the day of my successful show
and your death.
Oh, you'll like the sound of this.
Valentina, could you come down from Mount Olympus?
-Armando! -Valentina!
-How are you? -It's so nice to see you!
You look more beautiful than ever.
Thank you so much for agreeing to walk on our show.
Oh, please. I couldn't disappoint Hugo.
He's my favorite designer.
Did you see that?
The hair on his head stood up when you kissed me.
He's electric.
Did you bring your mariachi with you?
My mariachi? No, he couldn't make it.
He'll be watching us closely. He sends you both his regards.
Send him my regards.
Since he's not here, I could take you out on the city.
If you need anything, I'm here for you.
How kind of you! I love the idea.
We can have Marcela join us. You're still together, right?
The four of us could go out. You're invited too.
Yes, the four of us. Marcela and I...
Are engaged to be married. He gave her a ring too.
He's taken.
-You're getting married? -Yes, yes.
You're making her dress, right?
Of course!
Best of luck on the show. Knock 'em dead as usual.
Thank you!
You're a beautiful goddess.
-Do you know Custo Barcelona? -Of course.
He's a friend and a design genius.
Do my designs for Rebirth remind you of him?
Watch the door, Andrea. See you soon.
-Hello, beautiful. -Darling.
-How's it going? -Marvelously.
Everything's under control.
Even Hugo is feeling calmer.
I made sure he had one of my magical natural remedies.
You could use one too. Do you want one?
No, I need a drink. Or two, or ten.
-See you later. -Alright, dear.
The king and queen of the night!
You look as beautiful and elegant as always.
As my guests of honor, I have reserved
the most special seats in the house for you.
What do you think of this madness
Hugo and Armando thought up?
This isn't insane. They're betting to win.
This is bound to be a sure hit.
Have a seat and enjoy what will be an amazing night.
I'll send some drinks your way so you can celebrate.
And I'll come back to tend to you like you deserve.
Thank you.
-She seems very excited, huh? -And sincere.
Fingers crossed.
To our son.
Cross your fingers.
Wow!
There are photographers over there.
Girls, let's take a picture.
Let's find somewhere to sit. I see a spot over there.
Thank you.
This is so exciting!
Isn't Inesita going to sit with us?
No, she's probably going half crazy backstage.
We'll probably see her after the show.
-Know whom I haven't seen? -Who?
The mother of the year. Betty's here.
I'm fine here. Thanks.
Good Lord, she looks like an altar boy.
Sofia, don't be like that.
Hi, girls.
Hi!
-Oh... -Where are you going?
What?
-Let me see. -That's not perfume, is it?
-Is it you? -Oh, no!
Does it smell that much of mothballs?
-A little. -No!
Don't lie to her. Don't be like that.
You smell like my grandma's socks.
Come to the bathroom with me. I'll help you with that.
Smile and be nice.
Do what you can. So that's not a new perfume?
Thank you.
Let me have another double.
How's everything?
Like it usually is.
Are you still mad?
Mad? Me?
No. Why would I be mad?
You only gave V&M to Beatriz on a silver platter
and handed over your freedom in a letter
where you take full responsibility for everything.
Oh, and you also screwed me over.
If you go down, I'll go down as your accomplice.
So why should I be mad?
You really don't trust Betty?
Nope.
I don't trust her or the people around her.
You've given her too much power
and you've made her believe she's irreplaceable.
That's great and all, but she isn't.
When you least expect it,
she'll show her true colors and screw us over.
You refuse to see it, though. You've been blinded by her.
Relax, Marcelo.
You're acting like a hysterical and jealous woman
who's jealous of Betty. Come on!
Stop lecturing me. I don't like it.
Sorry, bro.
I'm not well. I'm very stressed out.
What happened this morning really upset me
and my situation with Patricia is making everything worse.
Can you believe she rejected me?
What? She rejected you?
-Why? -Yes! I don't know.
This was my first time trying to act like a decent guy.
I even asked her to marry me.
-You proposed? -Yes, yes!
-What? -I did!
Just saying the word marriage makes me breakout in hives.
It was my first time being vulnerable in front of a woman.
Not just any woman. Patricia Fernandez.
And she says she won't accept because I don't love her.
Of course I don't love her! But she's having my baby.
Can you believe that?
You're leaving? What do you mean you're leaving?
Yes, Marce, I'm leaving.
I have to start a new life and think of my baby.
I don't understand. Where will you go?
I don't know yet, but it'll be somewhere far away
where the rumors of those who hate, abhor, and envy me
can't affect me all the time.
When did you decide this?
I started to consider it when I found out I was pregnant.
Oh, I don't know. You're rushing into this.
Are you okay?
No, Marce! I'm not okay!
But I will be. You know I'm very strong.
It is what it is. I'm going to be a single mom.
It'll be okay.
You said I had to find my way and I think I did.
My baby.
What do you think?
I don't see your reasoning, but I'm happy for you.
You seem very confident. I'm really going to miss you.
You might leave somewhere far,
but I'll always be here for you...
and my niece or nephew.
I'm really going to miss you.
Alright.
We can't toast to that.
Tonight you'll see Hugo Lombardi's best work.
Tonight will be... legendary.
Excuse me. See you later.
Betty, why are you here all by yourself?
Hello.
Sofia's in the restroom. I'm waiting for her.
Tonight was possible thanks to you.
Come with me to the VIP area.
No.
I'd much rather stay here with my friends.
I must insist. Come on.
No, it's better this way.
Huh?
I have to keep my distance.
We can't arouse suspicions. I'm just your assistant.
Good thinking, Betty. You look... very elegant.
Thanks.
Sofia.
Cheers!
You're beautiful.
Oh!
This color really suits you.
Excuse me.
What is it now, Patricia?
-Hi. -Hello.
Are you going back to your old ways?
Does your word mean nothing?
It does mean something.
I have everything ready for you to leave after the show.
-What do you make of that? -That's good,
but I still don't know if the apartment will be in my name.
Of course it will.
I'll give you everything you want.
Under one condition, that is. You have to leave today.
That's all I ask. What do you say?
-Yes! -Okay.
-Okay. -Cheers.
Patricia, you and I have lots to talk about.
-Hey, Patricia's busy. -Let go of me!
You're drunk.
Who asked you, gangster? Get out of here.
-Shoo, shoo. Go away. -Are you going to kick me out?
Are you?
