Plutarco Cuesta.
-Gloria! -What can I say?
It's my buddy's first night as a single man.
Oh, yeah?
Go, go!
Look at him. All it took him was one day.
It's work.
I have a lot of work here in Monterrey.
You're still coming, darling. Aren't we a priority to you?
Slim, are you okay?
Don't give her my phone!
This is all Remedios' fault, for separating from Max.
When did Remedios and Max separate?
What are you doing here?
You can't just show up after 18 years.
Stop, please. No more.
Why are you...?
No, Emiliano. Go.
I can't help myself.
Emiliano, please go.
Go.
Please leave.
No... You can't do this to me.
Sorry. You're right.
Leave.
You can't show up after 18 years to...
No... Fine, I'm leaving.
Hello?
Finally, you pick up. I was so scared, babe.
Honey, I'm so relieved to hear your voice.
It was nothing, just a couple of bumps and bruises.
In fact, I'm being discharged. You don't even have to come.
There's no need.
Don't. I'll be in Houston by noon.
For God's sake, install a decent coffee machine.
$1.50 for this crap? Honey, you're awake.
You're not well.
Just look at how much you're sweating.
You sure they checked all your organs?
-I'm fine. -I talked to them.
You are not well. Nurse!
Have you seen my husband? He's sweating like a pig.
You think that's normal?
I thought this weekend we could go to Galveston
or to Isla del Padre. Sound good?
How come?
We never do anything on the weekend.
You're always too busy or too tired.
And now that you're separated, you want to hang out?
Sorry, I've got plans.
Danny, how's Mom?
I don't know. What do you want me to say?
She's the same.
You just left yesterday.
Sorry. You're right.
I shouldn't mix you up in this,
but I just want to make sure she's okay.
She asked for time, and I gave it to her.
Dad, at least get your stories straight
about the speeches you give us.
Not for me but for Martin.
Sir.
Excuse me.
-Guys. -Sir!
Guys!
Okay.
Oh, my God.
-I'm so fired. -It's fine.
-I'm so fired. -No, you're not.
We're adults. What are you doing?
Don't worry about it.
-Excuse me. -Reme.
We'll see each other later. Bye.
You know what? You leave.
You leave. Why the ---- should I leave?
Why'd you come?
Why did you come?
Leave!
Get out of my life!
Reme, I just wanted...
Get out.
Come on! I'm so stupid!
Honey.
You have to go.
You've always wanted to be PTA president.
No, Slim.
All the other moms understand, so don't worry about it.
On our group chat they all sent
lots of stickers, emojis, lots of XOXO,
and even Marlene sent us thoughts and prayers.
I'm not going. Everything's fine.
That's always been your dream,
and you know that your dreams
are my dreams.
Go.
Oh, babe, what would I do without you?
I would've died if you'd left me.
You're the best, always thinking about me.
-That's why you should go. -That's why I won't.
Emiliano can handle it.
No, I'm staying here until you're better.
I feel better.
You're sweating again.
You're drenched.
I told them something's wrong.
Are you sure an organ of his didn't explode?
Check him again. He's still sweating.
Tere, please tell Ms. Franco
I'll be eating alone at the usual place.
Tere, please tell Mr. Cuesta
that he can reach me on my cell phone.
No, Tere, please tell Ms. Franco
that she can't leave because we have
a meeting at 11 with Mrs. Jones.
Tere, please tell him...
Never mind. Forget it.
"Stop, shadow of my elusive goodness,
image of the charm that I love the most,
for whom I joyfully die,
fair illusion, for whom I duly exist."
What do you think?
Great.
Don't you think it's good, Benjamin?
Yeah.
And contradictory at the same time
because even though we would die for that love,
it makes us immensely happy.
No?
Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz
was considered ahead of her time.
Can anyone tell me why?
Right. Anyone else?
Because besides love, her poems were feminist.
Foolish men who lay guilt on women for no reason.
Well, I know somebody who tears her classmates' hair out.
And for no reason.
You're going to do a report on the life and works
of the most influential Latin American authors.
You're going to work in teams of two,
and, of course, I'll be choosing the teams.
You two can't be together.
-You're dating. -So what?
Lucia, I want you and Ale to work together.
No, I can't work with her.
Benjamin, you're with Christian.
You two.
You two too.
Daniel, you work with Sol.
And the rest of you can choose your own teams.
It's up to you.
Class dismissed.
Practice.
Ale, wait up.
Can we talk?
Sure.
Hey, what's going on between you and Lucia?
Nothing.
But can I work with someone else?
-How about Daniel? -No, not Daniel.
You always work with him,
and it's important that Lucia learn something from you.
What would Lucia learn from me? She hates me.
No, you're wrong. She doesn't hate you.
She just doesn't know you.
I recommend you make yourself heard.
Show everyone what an incredible kid you are.
Do it for yourself, not for them.
Give yourself a chance.
What do you say?
I'm not crazy.
My husband can't take my kids.
No, of course not.
Kids shouldn't pay the price when parents separate.
Look, Senator Jones is a powerful man.
He'll do all he can to discredit you and get custody,
but we won't let him, okay?
That's right. I agree, so don't worry
because that's not going to happen.
Why doesn't he even want to take them?
He doesn't have time to care for them.
What would he do?
Entrust them to his secretary?
Fathers are like that.
They're impulsive sometimes.
Mothers too sometimes.
Do you have kids?
Two.
So you know what I'm going through,
what it feels like to have your kids taken from you.
Please don't let him.
We're going to make sure Judge Guzman
doesn't accept any evidence your husband tries to submit, okay?
Everything's going to be fine.
Treat this as if they were your kids.
Of course.
Thank you.
Thank you. Excuse me, have a nice day.
You too.
It always affects me more
when there are kids in the middle of it.
Whatever happens,
please tell me something like that won't happen.
No, of course not.
I'm going to review these
and then go visit Luis at the hospital.
I thought he didn't want visitors.
Sorry.
Hello?
It was great seeing you last night, sir.
So much so that I dreamed
we were kissing on the footsteps of the court
where you freed me from my husband.
Sorry I had to leave like that. My son was in the hospital.
Thankfully it's not serious, but I'm sorry I had to run off.
Poor thing.
And poor daddy.
You deserve some affection.
Here, I brought you a latte just how you like it.
Thank you.
Can I call you later?
Bye.
Look!
I swear, 600 likes in 2½ minutes.
-Really? -Yeah.
I'm glad I ran into you.
Why? We have nothing to say to each other.
Hold on, I haven't said anything yet.
I want to talk about our Spanish assignment.
Oh, leave her alone.
Can't you see she's scared of you?
Talk about a bad attitude.
Ale.
Sol.
Hey, can you calm your freaky friend?
She's in a bad mood.
Take it easy.
She's a good person, believe it or not.
Want to meet at my house for the project?
I can't.
I have to work, and then I have plans.
Maybe you can get started for us.
You sure?
-Yeah. -What author do you like?
Whoever you choose.
-Let's go. -Will you help me?
-Sure. -Thank you.
-See you later. -No, thank you.
You're an idiot.
She treats you like her dog.
Don't be prejudiced like Lucia.
Oh, I'm the prejudiced one now?
Thanks, Danny.
Hi.
Hey.
How are you all doing?
Hey!
Hi, sweetie.
Nice shirt.
Hey.
Everybody knows, huh?
Everybody except the boss.
Remedios!
Until now.
Right.
Don't. I'll be in Houston by noon.
Babe, you really are worrying me.
All you do is stare at the darn clock,
and with these curtains up, I'm suffocating.
No wonder you're sweating.
No, please don't open!
I'm going to open them. It's Emiliano.
I'm so glad you're here.
I'm so stressed out. He's not well.
What happened? You're sweating a lot.
You okay? How do you feel?
I'm glad you're here.
He's not well. You see him?
I think he's got PDF. What do you call it?
-PTSD. -Yeah, that.
Post-traumatic stress disorder. It's likely, but it's normal.
Likely? How can you say that? I'm going to die!
No, it's normal, but it's important that he be calm.
In order to check him, I need calm.
Why don't you go do something? Get yourself a coffee.
I have to call a client.
-Do that now. -Take good care of him.
We'll talk after I examine him.
Let me make my call.
Thanks, and don't worry. You have to take it easy.
Help me keep Jimena from seeing the other one.
-The other one? -The other woman.
Your wife just left.
I've got two women. I live in Houston with Jimena
and with the other one in Monterrey
and she's about to arrive. I lead a double life.
I'm really taken with your performance.
You've been with us only a month
and already managed to sell a luxury apartment.
Congratulations!
Thanks very much, sir.
Yes, when I put my mind to it, I can be very...
proactive.
Yes, and other times, very disorganized.
Clear something up for me.
That client you were found with...
Right.
How much did he pay you?
How much did he pay me?
No, he didn't pay me. He wasn't a client.
I don't mess with clients or anybody for money.
He was a friend who showed up during working hours
and it was a dumb thing to do, so I apologize.
Do you normally kiss friends at open houses?
No. Not at all.
Like I said, it was a mistake and it won't happen again.
We'll see, Remedios.
You're a natural saleswoman.
Nobody can question that.
Plus, you've got a lot of potential.
But unfortunately, I'm very disappointed right now.
I expected so much more from you.
I'm sorry, Mr. Balderas.
I know I messed up, but I really need this job.
Please give me a chance to prove myself.
I can sell even more.
Just let me know.
I'm willing to do better.
I like that.
Good.
I like proactive people.
Okay.
What do you propose?
What do I propose? I propose arriving earlier.
I can work overtime.
Remedios, like I said, I expected much more out of you.
