RICH IN LOVE
If a baby Stella's on her way, we're going to need money.
I'm not pregnant!
Alright.
If it were Manuel's, it'd be really conve...
I didn't say anything.
I haven't said a thing.
Reset your brain and forget what I said.
You didn't hear that.
I didn't say anything.
How did I not think of that before?
How did I not think of that?
A baby!
A baby with Manuel's face and my eyes!
Good job, Dominique!
No, no, think this through.
Manny Manuel's not 15. You can't fool him.
Look, anything's possible.
You just have to visualize it and concentrate
and then attack!
Alright, back to Earth now.
Why would Manuel think it's his baby?
You haven't... done the deed in a long time.
I'll have to make a sacrifice.
I'm going to put on my sexiest outfit
and we'll get that out of the way today.
If it were as easy as showing up at his doorstep and saying,
"Let's have a baby,"
you would've gotten back together a long time ago.
No, I've been holding back all this time.
I haven't given it my best shot.
Excuse me while I laugh.
I'm serious.
Really.
You haven't seen me in action, but when I flirt,
I'm irresistible, so much so that I can't hold back.
My impulses.
Look, don't be sure.
You're forgetting about the Chivis factor.
If she decides to play your game,
we don't know who'll be more dangerous.
She's been asking for it for a long time,
but she won't stand a chance against me.
Her husband's already back and Manuel too good a person
to leave a child without a father.
Basically, I've already won.
Listen to me. It won't work.
No, it's all about how I reveal the news.
I have to be convincing.
Or I can just convince him that I got pregnant
when we were still together.
By the time he can prove it or asks for a paternity test,
he'll already be in love with me again
and I'll have him eating out of the palm of my hand.
It's a great plan!
I still have a few kinks to iron out,
but put a fork in him, because Manuel is done.
-Oh, why'd I bring up eating? -Again?
Sweetie, I'm not going! You grab your own hair!
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Could I have a tissue please?
How nice of you. So kind.
Thank you very much.
You've no idea how happy I am to see you.
You look younger every day.
Sure, and you're more infamous every day.
Have you seen this?
No, I haven't seen it, but Rafael told me.
Aren't you ashamed?
It would've been nice to see you on Time magazine,
but instead, you're in this local rag
next to police shootings
and soccer stars and their model girlfriends.
I was in Time once.
Exactly.
You went from a high-society publication
and to a neighborhood tabloid.
Once I'm out of here,
I'll be paid to do the cover of the New York Times,
to reveal my side of the story, what really happened.
You just wait and see.
In the newspaper, my mother-in-law will appear
on a photo spread in her old mansion.
How about it?
If only God gave us such comfort, but no.
God has us paying for your crimes.
And here I thought of hell as something symbolic.
Do you think your family deserves this?
Oh, please don't make such a big deal out of this.
Things are quickly forgotten in this country.
People have very short memories,
especially if you're smart about it.
I can name a lot of people whose cases were a lot worse,
who appeared on front pages and no one even remembers them.
Before, we used to appear in the society pages
of the most exclusive magazines and newspapers in the world,
but now this.
We're in a vulgar tabloid newspaper.
Oh, you know who I can't stop thinking about?
Cuquita Arambulo Zabala and the women of the bridge club.
I can just see them laughing and pointing at me saying,
"There's the crook's mother-in-law."
You have to admit that's a great picture of me.
How are you doing on Candy Crush?
As soon as I'm out of here,
we'll go to your favorite casinos,
just like old times.
I'll also take you to the racetrack.
Hey, you could even invite your new friend, the baker.
Oh, I guess word travels fast even in dumps like this.
Look, Antonio Jose, I can be very nice and glamorous,
but I'm not stupid.
I'm here because none of this is a joke.
I've always defended you in front of Chivis,
because you're her rightful husband
and my granddaughters' father,
but if you want to keep me on your side,
I want to know what's going on right now.
Yes, counselor, I have all the documents.
Yes, of course,
I'll take them to your office tomorrow morning.
Yes, see you later.
Mrs. Catalina.
Someone's happy to see me. Why so serious?
I'm busy dealing with lawyers.
Yes, that's horrible.
If you want to, we can have a drink so you can relax.
-I can't. -It's on me.
Thanks, but I have to make a lot of calls.
Plus I have paperwork and meetings with the tenants.
I've got a really busy day today.
Alright, don't worry.
Thanks for understanding.
Then we'll stay here.
No, no!
I'm serious, lady.
Why are you so negative?
It's not that. I'm actually really busy.
Hey.
Do those lawyers and problems you're having
have anything to do with Ezequiel Sotomayor?
-Damn it, witch. -Excuse me?
How'd you find out?
Oh, just hallway gossip.
He and I go way back. I know him very well.
We belong to the same golf club.
He owes my husband lots of favors.
I don't want to put you in a tough spot with your friends
over something that's got nothing to do with you.
If that were the case, I wouldn't offer to help
and I am, unreservedly...
along with many other things.
Look, in the world of business you have to risk everything,
and sometimes you make mistakes.
I'd never made a mistake in all these years.
Didn't you live like royalty for many years?
Yes, of course, I can't deny that,
but right now we don't even have money for pawns.
The king is in prison and the queen is falling apart.
What's going on, son? And don't be cryptic.
That might work on my daughter, but not on me.
Tell me exactly what's going on.
Look, like I said, I might seem superficial
and of course, beautiful, but I am not a fool,
even if I do pretend to be one when it's convenient.
My numbers failed me.
You know the economy's going through a recession
and the stocks plummeted.
Besides, a few of my clients played dirty.
The problem is that I'm the one who's had to face this,
but this involved a lot of other people.
You haven't faced anything. Don't be shameless!
You got caught and in a very embarrassing way.
How dreadful.
And at the worst possible time.
The only thing you've faced is the camera
that took this picture right here!
Besides, look at you.
You've got crows feet, a double chin and a huge belly.
Goodness me!
Don't be so hard on me.
I've been through a terrible time all these months.
You don't say!
Of course, you suffered horribly,
while we sunbathed on a beach in the Mediterranean Sea.
Yes, but at least you're together.
On the other hand, I'm locked up in here without my family.
And what's worse, my wife wants to divorce me.
Did you know your daughter wants to divorce me?
Oh, please, Antonio Jose.
Those are silly feminist ideas she's gotten as of late
and it's all your fault.
You sent her to the slums, but I'll say this,
my daughter's been a true heroine.
She's carried on all by herself.
She deserves some understanding.
She's felt very lonely all this time
and it's logical for her to want nothing to do with you.
Well, she hasn't been that alone.
From what I know, there's a neighbor
who's been helping her a lot and who even works with her.
Am I wrong?
Thanks for offering to help, but there's no need.
Don't be silly, Manuel.
You can't beat Ezequiel.
He's got all the resources
to make sure this case lasts for years
and you need to work.
You need to provide for your children.
Yes, I know, but I'm going to deal with this in the courts.
I don't want anyone to think this favor means something else.
Nobody has to know, Manuel.
Besides, it's not a favor.
It'd be my pleasure to help
and I can make Ezequiel forget about all of this.
Just let me help.
Look, I'll know how to provide for my family
while I work this out.
That's if this becomes serious, which I don't think it will.
What about the other workers?
Have you thought about them and their families,
who might lose their jobs and their income?
You and Ezequiel might be fine, but what about them?
Think about it.
I'm giving you the easy way out.
It's completely...
Mrs. Catalina, thanks a lot and sorry about this,
but I'm really busy
and I'd appreciate it if we could do this some other time.
Alright.
I get it.
But I'm at your service.
Thanks.
Isn't it true that the neighbor has helped my wife?
Don't hint at things. I get it.
I'm not Miss Universe.
You could've been.
Not funny. Not funny at all.
When it comes to admirers, you know
that the wealthy widowers and divorcés all wanted me.
That is, until you dropped us into a middle-class hell!
Please try to understand.
It's only normal for me to wonder about my wife.
Any man would do the same and any woman would too.
Look, I'll say this.
I love you very much, Antonio Jose.
I've always stood up for you,
but my daughter's always shown impeccable character
and no one can say otherwise.
I haven't said anything.
You might not have said it, but you insinuated it.
Antonio Jose, the only times Chivis has lied
have been to protect you!
I'll remind you about the time she had to hide you
from the police in our house.
Don't play stupid, because I know everything.
Please don't get upset. I wasn't suggesting anything.
I completely agree.
Your question was very straightforward.
Antonio Jose, if you don't want Chivis to divorce you
and you want me to help you, then stop complicating things.
You're the bad guy right now, not her.
Please don't get upset.
These are reasonable insecurities
any man who can't be with his wife has.
That's all.
You know that I've always been a bit jealous
and Chivis is a beautiful woman.
I wouldn't like the idea of any man being around her.
I know, but I also know you, Antonio Jose.
Now I say this with love and compassion, get a clue!
One more thing,
Candy Crush isn't even that entertaining anymore.
Excuse me!
I'm ready. Let's go.
Hey, I think you should stay here resting.
You look weak, pale, haggard and hopeless.
Look who's talking.
You look just like me, only you're in good health.
Don't get upset, I mean well.
You're making a mess everywhere like your little...
son Francisco Javier.
Where is he, by the way?
He's in Poncho's room.
I punished him for biting you.
Don't be so hard on him.
Let him reflect so he knows that what he did was wrong,
but don't leave him in there for too long.
Sweetie, you can't spoil him or he'll get worse.
Try to understand, Dominique.
I'm his mother first and foremost!
I'll always forgive him no matter what.
I'll admit it.
He's a scoundrel, but it's my responsibility to steer him
in the right direction.
I can't abandon now that he's in a dungeon.
You're an enabler.
I won't let him out, especially not now when we're leaving.
He ate Poncho's clothes and he destroyed your blouse.
I'm not going to let that fly now
just because you got a case of maternal guilt!
Hey, I know Javito better than anyone!
Give him a chance, Dominique. I'll make sure he's nicer.
He used to be different.
It's like he got your bad habits.
Sorry, sweetie, but I won't let him out.
Our safety comes first.
You know what I think?
We should take him to the shelter.
Alright, fine, but let's take him now.
-Really? -Yes.
I've heard they have woof-woof therapists there.
I want them to check him and maybe he can get therapy.
I meant we should leave him there.
They'll look after him and spoil him 24/7.
It's a great place.
I'd rather leave you at the shelter!
I'm going to make sure Javito's a good dog.
I'm going to reintegrate him into society
and he'll display model behavior.
He'll be a gentleman when baby Stellita or Stellito arrive.
Oh, that sounds great, but we don't even know
if you're actually pregnant!
Let's go.
Hey!
On our way out of the doctor's office,
we'll buy my wedding dress for when I marry Manuel.
We'll buy suits for you, for Ponchito and for Javito.
Of course!
Hey, girl, your Daddy's so handsome!
He looks divine on the front page!
I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
You're lucky you weren't mentioned or you would've been
so embarrassed.
How embarrassing!
Like, what will the people from your old neighborhood think?
Or from golf club?
Right, you're all so refined.
Sorry, but I have no idea what you're talking about
and I don't care so please leave.
No one's asked for your autograph?
I mean, your family's infamous!
Stop bothering Angie,
Don't you have anything better to do?
Oh, look who's here.
It's the defender of lost causes.
Jorge, I don't know why you like this snob.
Margarita's a lot prettier, plus she's got nothing to hide.
Besides, she doesn't hang out with...
Jorge, I don't get what those two were talking about.
What's going on?
Yikes, Angie...
your father made the front page.
The article mentions the cons, the church and everything else.
It doesn't put him in a very good light.
Do you want to see it?
Are you sure?
"Authorities Capture Antonio Villaseñor."
