ORK
Here's five grand.
You'll get the other half once I have the baby.
Ma'am...
will this pose any risks for my wife?
No, none at all.
She's just having an embryo implanted in her uterus.
There's no risk in that.
What about the semen, though? May we ask whose it is?
No, you can't ask. That was part of our agreement.
Where will I give birth?
In my house.
You'll receive better care there than you would at a hospital.
The judges will be: Felipe Neira, Isabella Londoño,
and Cristian Mercado.
-Do you know them? -Yeah.
I know Isabella Londoño.
Her show comes on after the news.
She's a fashion journalist.
-The skinny one? -She's ruthless.
Who cares who the judges are?
You need to show up there and knock 'em dead.
You're smarter than they are.
Don't give the same responses the other girls do.
-What are you looking at me for? -No!
Right, don't give the same responses I did at your age.
I didn't mean it!
You know what I'm worried about?
People have always bought crowns...
and we know how Daniela is.
She'll probably try buying her way to the top.
It's possible.
Money makes the world go 'round, and she's got a lot of it.
If that happens, there's nothing we can do about it.
We can't stoop to her level.
Nope.
Good, sweetie.
Remember to walk with your chin up, back straight...
You're doing great, Dani!
-Am I, Mom? -She's perfect.
No doubt she'll win the pageant.
She'd better. That's why I'm paying you.
Excuse me.
Ma'am...
He understands he has to work with us.
Did he take the money?
Without hesitation.
Did you record it?
Of course, ma'am.
The boss said I couldn't hand over the money otherwise.
Dr. Cristian Mercado?
That's me.
Nice to meet you.
Lucho the makeup artist sent me.
-Anything to drink? -No, thanks.
I'm fine.
Very well.
I brought a package for you.
You'll find the name and photo of the girl who's to win inside.
Her name's Daniela Barrera.
If you manage to convince another judge,
you'll get twice as much.
You know what, though?
I... I don't know.
I just got here.
I don't really know the other judges.
Give it a shot, sir.
I know you can do it.
And... what happens if I don't?
Well, that could be a problem.
We know you bought your medical degree in Brazil.
It'd be a shame if the rest of the world were to find out.
Here's the recording.
Well done.
He's in our hands, then.
What have you done, Santi?
Oh, Cata.
I'd die before I let you go.
Look straight ahead. Keep your balance.
Pretend you're wearing that crown.
Great job!
Hydrate.
Make sure you're nice to the press.
Winning over these journalists is key,
because they influence public opinion.
Make sure you smile.
I don't need to win anyone over!
I've bought them all off already!
I practically am queen!
Well?
Gorgeous.
All done. You look great!
Thanks.
Can you pass me a mirror?
The fathers of philosophy.
Think platonic...
-Plato! -Good!
That's too long!
It accentuates your breasts.
I can walk in this one!
Too big.
This is it, Gladys! It's perfect!
I'm so nervous!
Wish me luck!
You won't need it, babe. You're going to win.
Can I ask you guys for a favor?
Can you tell our neighbors about the pageant?
Maybe they can come cheer me on.
You asked and we delivered!
What's this?
Our girl!
Our queen!
Catalina, she's the one!
Mommy!
How about a picture?
Oh, you guys!
Stay here. We're going to need you.
Yes, ma'am.
I've been ordered by the boss to keep anyone from backing out.
I'm all yours.
Sounds good.
If you'll excuse me.
Hello.
We're here for the pageant.
You've picked a lovely place for your unmasking, sis.
Catalina!
Make way!
Beauty queen coming through!
We're here to register the future Miss Risaralda,
Catalina Marin Santana.
She's our girl! She's our girl!
Pics, guys!
Catalina! Catalina!
She's the next Miss Risaralda!
Interviews, exclusives...
She thinks she's queen already.
Catalina ain't there for the crown, though.
She just wants Daniela to lose.
That's it.
And she may well get away with it, too.
She's quite the competition.
Between us, I saw Catalina training hard at the gym.
She's definitely prepared,
and even though I can't stand her...
I can't deny she's pretty.
And not only that.
She's talented.
She's a woman of principles, righteous, and has morals.
[Risas]
What?
Are you stoned?
Nope, just cracking up.
Based off that little speech, it sounds like you want her too!
What am I going to do with you? You want them all!
No, that's not true.
The only woman I really want...
is Catalina Santana.
Welcome, journalists and reporters from all mediums.
Let's start the press conference.
Please raise your hand before proceeding with your question.
Yes, sir?
Name and medium, please.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Daniel Ceron,
proprietor and editor in chief of El Despertar.
My question is for Miss Pereira.
Miss Pereira, will being the daughter of a dangerous,
fugitive drug trafficker hurt your odds
of winning the pageant?
Thanks for your question, Mr. Journalist.
As journalist, surely you're aware that children
should not be punished for their parents' actions.
I know that.
I have no idea if my mother is truly a drug trafficker...
but if she were, I would never use her influence to get here.
I've worked hard to get here.
My beauty and intelligence have brought me this far.
Thank you.
Might I remind you that you were named Miss Pereira
by a decree your late stepfather issued
while he was mayor of the city?
He too was murdered under suspicious circumstances.
May he rest in peace.
He's right.
I was named Miss Pereira by decree.
Why don't we aim a few questions at Miss Dosquebradas?
Perhaps she had something to do with it
since she was with a drug lord at the time.
He probably had him killed out of envy.
Excuse me.
I'd like to address these grave accusations.
Go ahead, Miss Marin.
I can attest to the fact that she isn't a real candidate
and she doesn't deserve to be called queen.
She's a criminal.
I'm sorry, but this...
Ladies, behave! This is unacceptable!
Hello, everyone!
It's great to have you here
for this marvelous press conference.
Daniel, what would become of beauty pageants
if they didn't have some spice to them?
I've got an important announcement to make.
We're hereby entering an... investigative recess!
In about 30 minutes,
you'll find out whether these two candidates will continue...
Just a moment.
Or whether they'll be disqualified.
Let's continue with the press conference.
Excuse you?
I'm the owner of this pageant...
Sit down.
Sit! Down!
You know I yell with love.
I have two important announcements to make.
First off, tonight's swimsuits have been designed
by none other than Tomás Tomás.
Secondly, you're cordially invited to feast on ceviche
and fruit salad.
Please enjoy yourselves.
The press conference will continue shortly.
Don't miss the judges' panel!
Girls, please.
I won't keep quiet!
-That's not how things work. -The truth must be known!
I know, but please understand.
We can't walk right into the lion's den.
I must, Lucia.
I can't keep quiet about this.
Yes, I understand.
Hey! Hi, Mom!
Jota, Vane.
Hey, sis.
What happened? There's a commotion outside!
Tell her what happened!
I called out Daniela for being a drug trafficker and a killer.
Sounds great!
-You think so? -How can you say that?
That's what she's here to do. She's here to unmask Daniela.
You need to tone it down just a bit, though.
The TEA will be present at the pageant
in an attempt to capture Yesica Beltran.
What?
Are you sure she's here?
We aren't, but if Daniela's competing,
Yesica will want to be here.
She wouldn't be absent at a time like this.
I need your help.
Anything could happen, so I need you to stay alert.
Alright, I'll contain myself.
I hate that journalist with all my might!
He's always on Catalina's side!
Calm down, Daniela.
I know exactly who he is... and he's going to pay for this.
Please get rid of him. Kill him!
I'm not going to kill him.
Get this through your head, Daniela.
The dead can't suffer.
No...
I'm going to hit him where it hurts.
I like the sound of that, Mom.
We must cover all four corners.
She's bound to show up where we least expect her.
Around here, perhaps?
Maybe. We can't underestimate her.
Good afternoon.
-Catalina. -Hey, boss.
-How's everything? -Very good.
Meet Amparo. She's on tonight's team.
She works for the police.
Detective Amparo, pleased to meet you.
Catalina Santana. The pleasure's mine.
-Welcome to the team. -Thanks.
We were talking about covering all areas of the hotel.
An agent at every door.
Perfect.
I'm going to be on the pageant floor rooting for my sister.
