SOME CHARACTERS AND EVENTS ARE FICTIONAL.

Quit making excuses.
If we lose those million-dollar accounts, our heads will roll
and yours will be the first to go.
Stressful, isn't it? I understand.
How about a drink?
I'm not in the mood for annoying barflies.
Sorry.
I'll have a whiskey, Freddy.
Mr. Contreras, it's been a while.
You've been missing since you sold your app.
Isn't it ironic?
The creator of the most popular dating app of the year
drinking alone at a bar.
Hold on. You created Cupido?
No, I'm just an annoying barfly.
I apologize for being so rude. I judged you...
Wrongly?
Too quickly?
Mr. Contreras' next round is on me.
Will you let me treat you?
To what?
Thanks.
Nico, come here. Some guys are looking for you.
Who?
I think they're cops.
-Okay, thanks. -Come back.
Don't go that way. Leave through the back.
Okay.
Pay attention because I won't do it again.
Three balls, three cups. One, two, three.
Pick a ball and pick a cup.
Good. That one.
Done! Let's do it again.
One, two... Pick another ball.
Next we'll use two cups because it'll move twice.
One, two... three.
If you'd bet any more,
I would've taken it, young grasshopper.
Learn to focus on what really matters.
How do you do it?
Where'd you learn how to do something so cool?
It's a secret.
Lucas. Come on, Lucas.
I don't want you to be late on your first day of work.
Do I really have to work every day after school?
And half of your paycheck goes to household expenses.
You should be grateful.
Selling weed will land you in jail.
Everything in life has consequences.
You're not going to answer?
No. My boss is being annoying.
Besides, I'm off the clock.
Maybe he wants to tell you he found your wedding ring.
I don't think so.
I'm almost certain someone stole it
when I took it off at the factory.
Do everything Dad says, honey.
Okay.
-Let's go. -I love you.
Bye, honey.
-Have a nice day! -Likewise.
Come on, Lucas.
I told you not to call me.
Yes, he's gone. I'm coming.
Bye.
How are you?
-Fine. -How's the wound?
Are you a nurse now? Where's my money?
What's this? Couldn't you do better?
No, that's all I could manage. I had to pawn my wedding ring.
This isn't enough and you know it.
Give them that now and the rest later.
Don't you get it?
If I don't pay off what I owe, they'll kill me!
And how do I know that's true?
You think I'm lying?
That's what you do with every woman you meet.
You use them to get money.
Get me the money or I'll tell your husband everything.
And you know I'm not kidding.
So you're Lucas.
Yes, sir.
I hope you're sharper than you're dad.
Did he tell you?
We were almost robbed last week while he was on watch.
I already apologized, boss. It won't happen again.
I hope so or... bye.
Get to work.
When your sister gets here,
tell her I'm waiting for her in my office.
I hope you can do that much.
Sure, boss.
Why do you let that idiot treat you like that?
It's nothing personal. He's just that way.
Besides, he gave me a good job.
Which allows him to walk all over you?
You need to separate your personal feelings from work.
-Hey. -Tere.
Can you give us a minute?
Sure.
Go to the warehouse. I'll catch up with you.
Do your best, Lucas.
Where were you? Agustin was looking for you.
Finding proof of your wife's infidelity.
Let's see if you'll listen to me this time.
-Well? -Look.
What's wrong?
You've been quiet since you came home from work.
Did something happen with Lucas?
Gloria... you pawned your wedding ring.
Where'd you get that idea?
Teresa has a friend who works at a pawnshop.
Your sister loves to show me in a bad light.
Yes, I did.
What's the matter with you? What are you hiding?
I broke a very expensive machine at the factory
and pawned the ring so I wouldn't have to worry you.
Unbelievable. Are you serious?
I can look after you now.
Things have changed. I can look after you.
Know what it is? You're too good for me.
I don't deserve you.
Forgive me, will you? Please forgive me.
We'll get it back.
Did you bring more money?
No.
I came to tell you to leave.
Federico almost found out the truth today.
Right, and where am I supposed to go?
Where am I going to make more money?
Nicolas, I won't risk my...
Family?
Yes, my family. I've done all I can.
Thank you for asking me over for dinner,
but I'd like to ask you something.
Is this how you convinced Federico
to believe that whopper about the broken factory machine?
Tere, darling, I want us to get along,
but you don't make it easy.
Federico doesn't deserve for us to be at each other's throats.
Remember what I said when you got married?
Of course. What was it?
"Gloria, you're the kind of woman who marries
a kind, dumb man so you can do whatever you want."
And time has proven me right!
I know you're hiding something, and I'll find out what.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I'd be more worried about your secret.
Especially since it involves your boss, a married man.
Set another plate because I brought a guest.
How many times do I have to tell you
to let me know... when you're bringing a friend over?
You should've seen the look on his face.
A stranger comes up to me and says he's looking for my wife.
Fede is a little jealous.
He has no reason to be. Gloria is an angel.
How long will you be staying in town?
I intended to stay for a few days,
but I plan to stay longer now that I've found Gloria.
I want to relive the good old days, right, Gloria?
It's hard to believe you came here to do business
and found the neighbor who used to watch you.
No, not really.
My mom told me she used to live around here a few years ago.
Congratulations, by the way!
Gloria is an honest, hardworking woman.
And a good mother.
Wow, such high praise.
Aren't you happy Nico's here? Don't you have anything to say?
Of course I am. It feels... nostalgic.
Dessert?
-Yes! -Thank you.
I'll help Gloria.
Thank you, Nico.
-May I take your plate? -Thanks, but I'm not done yet.
You know, you should help Gloria by taking the rest.
-Get the glasses... -Come on!
Want some help? You're butchering it.
What do you gain by being here? Do you want to torture me?
The food was delicious. Nico, could you?
-Sure. -Thanks.
Nico's telling me he has to go.
How come?
I have a video conference call with some friends in China.
But we're having a few beers before you leave, right?
Of course!
Especially if we're going to do business together... partner.
Partner.
What business?
I have to go, so your husband can fill you in.
Please take the dessert out.
Sure.
-I'll be right there. -Good.
-Bye, Nico. -Bye. Thank you.
I won't let you con my husband.
And how are you going to stop me?
I'll tell him everything.
I doubt it.
Ready?
Sweetie? Oh, God!
My baby! Someone please help me!
Why was there a coin in our food?
-I don't know... -You're so careless!
I'm going to sue you! I swear I'll shut you down!
Is there any other way to resolve this?
What you do think?
Come on, honey.
You're the best actor in the world.
You're a quick study too.
Where's my cut?
Nice try, but that's not how this works.
Fine, but I get to call the shots when I'm older.
You won't do this for a living when you're older.
Understood?
I talked to Federico, so stop threatening me.
-Oh, yeah? -Yes.
What'd he say? Did he react poorly?
Yes, and I know it'll take him a while to digest it,
but he'll forgive me because he loves me.
Stop lying.
I'm not some child you can easily manipulate.
If you had told him,
would he be asking me out to drinks tomorrow?
Nicolas...
I tried to tell him, but I couldn't.
Please don't do this to me.
I already told you I have no way of getting that money.
Sure you do.
You do.
In fact, we're going to work together.
-Like back then. -No.
-Yes. -No!
No, you can't force me to go back to that life.
If you don't help me, I'll tell your husband he married a liar.
A fraud, a con artist, a crook.
Did I miss anything... Mom?
