[Spanish rap music playing]
Hey, you!
Was it not clear enough
that you're not welcome here?
Uh, what's going on here?
Nothing, sir, I was just, um
I was just checking that
our dresses were safe.
Don't I have the right
to come in like anyone else?
Yes, you are absolutely right, sir,
of course.
- If you could just return to your duties.
- Sure.
- [chuckles]
- Thanks so much.
And, uh, what can we do for you?
Well, um, I need a wedding dress for my
- my fiancée.
- Okay.
Um, she's about
this much shorter than me,
quite slim, very pretty
No, no, no, no! Get back to your section.
- What? Why?
- Just
Ángela! Leave those there, please,
and come here.
- [Lalo clears throat]
- Now.
- Listen, his fiancée is roughly your size.
- Yes.
So you can help us by being the model.
THE HAPPY BRIDE
["Mas Que Bien"
by Rabia Rivera feat. Cadereira playing]
[Mr. Gabriel] So? What do you think?
Absolutely stunning.
I mean the dress.
[Mr. Gabriel] This one's from Paris.
It's not too expensive
but it's very French.
Actually, Mr. Gabriel,
I've just had a thought.
I wanna see it with a garter.
Très bien! A wedding garter!
[Lalo] Oh yes. A wedding garter.
You can forget about
me modelling a garter.
- Candy can do that.
- [Lalo] What?
Jealous, are we?
Oh, you wish.
Why'd you say no when I asked you
to marry me?
Is that why you're here?
Mmm.
No.
You're gonna be receiving something.
Did you get me a gift, Lalo?
[clears throat] Here we are, Ángela.
Know what, Mr. Gabriel?
The dress is really beautiful, but
I don't think my girlfriend
will look as good in it.
Thanks anyway, appreciate it.
Excuse me.
- What did you do, Ángela?
- Nothing.

[horn honking]
[Victoria] I hope it's a washing machine.
Because I told him it's a pain in the ass
to hand-wash Rocío's uniform.
You think he wants to marry that woman?
Are you jealous?
More like I wanted to punch his face.
Oh yeah. You're jealous.
- [chuckles]
- No, I'm not!
I don't have feelings for him anymore.
- [sighs]
- I think that he's hiding something.
[lawyer] I think that
you got cold feet, my dear Lalo.
You should've told her the truth.
I didn't tell her 'cause she would've
caused a scene and Rocío would find out.
She isn't gonna make a scene, Lalo.
Not if she wants to see her daughter
after the four years are over.
What four years?
[clears throat]
According to what is stipulated
in this document,
the defendant is not permitted
to have any contact with the minor,
during the four years following
the fulfillment of her sentence,
except under the supervision of
competent authority for such situations.
Can we do that?
If you want I can make it six.
[laughs]
No, look, I I don't want her
to not be able to see Rocío.
Agh! Come on, Lalo.
Well, I agree with the lawyer, honey.
We gotta fight hard
so Chío can come live with us.
Exactly.
- Cheers!
- [Candy] Cheers.
[bottles clink]
[teacher] Okay, kids,
write down these equations.
[inaudible]
- Oh my God.
- [Pato] Just ignore them.
They're laughing 'cause
they have nothing better to do.
[teacher] Listen up, if anyone misbehaves,
they won't be allowed to take part
in the special Children's Day activities.
And remember to bring
your wrestling masks for the contest.
Get your hands off me.
You gonna cry?
I thought tomboys didn't cry.
- [girl 1] She called her a tomboy!
- [girl 2] Did you hear what she said?
- [girl 1] So embarrassing.
- [girl 3] What is she gonna do?
[laughing]
There's gum in your hair.
[sighs]
Don't worry. I've watched them cut
my nana's hair like a thousand times.
Oh, great!
Now I'm going to look
like an old grandmother.
Sofía's gonna love that.
You should get revenge
like The Undertaker and Kane did
against Triple H and Stone Cold
in the Backlash of 2001.
No.
My revenge will be even more epic.
- [snipping]
- Jeez!
[Rocío] What?
- [gasps]
- Nothing.
Um, the good news is
it's not stuck to your neck.
[groans]
[Betty] Are these the only ones you have?
[man] The roses are beautiful
just like you.
Hey, stop drooling and help me out!
It'd be easier to dress her in the window.
If you were Niurka would you
wanna be naked in front of everyone?
Good point.
You're not helping.
- Why don't you tell her you like her?
- [Lucy] What? [scoffs]
Betty? No! [scoffs]
That's gross. I don't like her.
No, no way. Where did you get
the crazy idea that I like Betty?
[awkward laugh]
Is it that obvious?
Only from here to
Where did you tell you're from again?
Aguascalientes.
Mm-hmm.
[Lucy sighs]
Thanks, beautiful.
- Bye.
- [man] Goodbye.
He's gone. Now's your chance.
There's no way
I'm ever gonna be able to do it.
Don't you worry.
I know how to build up your confidence.
[upbeat music playing]
[Refugio] What's this?
I thought it was meant to be a secret.
That's why I close this part of the gym,
to train.
- I'm so sorry.
- Aw.
But just look at the sad face
on this cute little thing.
She needs you to help her.
Come here.
- [gasps]
- [laughs]
[Malena and Refugio laugh]
Okay, you might have stuff
I can work with.
I don't No, no, no.
I'm sorry, there's no way I can do No.
It's my gym so my rules.
And if I say you got it, you got it.
Hmm?
- Let's go.
- No.
Malena!
Five hundred squats
for breaking the rules!
But I can barely do fifty!
Okay, six hundred.
- Come on, you.
- [Malena sighs]
- [Lucy exhales]
- [Refugio] Come on!
[Ángela] Don't run!
Hold on, you, stop right there.
What happened?
- [dog barking in distance]
- [Rocío] Nothing.
I cut it because
I hate having hair in my face.
But you cut it
from the back of your neck. Hmm?
[Rocío] Look,
it's just a haircut, all right?
I like it this way!
Chío is everything okay?
Of course, what do you ask that for?
I had short hair in jail too.
And it wasn't exactly by choice.
I gotta
study.
[sighs]
[woman] I imagine you're here
to talk about Rocío?
Yes. Yesterday she came home with
Rocío is about to fail this year.
I suppose nobody told you
while you were "touring."
We call it "formal prison order" now.
And of course I know
what's going on with my girl.
That's why she needed
her permission slip signed
so she could take part in
the wrestling activity organized by Candy.
Candy Caramelo?
I thought you knew
what was going on with her.
- Moms and dads are also invited.
- [sighs]
Didn't she tell you?
Of course she told me.
That's why I'm here.
To let you know that I know.
Hmm.
And now, well, you know.
[woman] Hmm.
Excuse me.
Thank you for letting me know.
[upbeat music playing]
[whispering] She's in there!
Stand guard at the door for me, will ya?
[music continues]
- [gasps] Oh boy, you're in trouble.
- [phone camera clicking]
[chuckles]
You didn't wash your hands. That's gross!
Ugh.
Jeez, didn't see that coming.
[Rocío] Me neither.
[exhales]
Okay, this is an exit.
Put your back against the ropes.
Hands on the top one.
Then legs on the first.
You push your body back,
your legs go up,
and then when half your body
is outside the ring,
you put your hands on the mat
and you jump onto the ground.
Okay? Questions?
Hold on. Come again?
Hands on the top one. Legs on the first.
[Refugio] You'll understand
when you do it.
- Malena
- We should do rock, paper, scissors!
Rock, paper, my ass, come on.
- Go on, paper girl.
- You go.
[Malena] I always go first!
- Hands on the top one.
- [Refugio] Yes.
Legs on the first.
- [grunts]
- Ugh!
- [Lucy] Damn.
- Yes, girl!
- [women gasp]
- You see? It's not that hard!
Would the manager
of the wedding store step forward.
[exhales] Holy Mother of Perpetual Help,
please help me.
I better not break my neck.
Hands on the top one. Legs on the first.
I'm gonna show you an easier way.
You ready?
- [growls, laughs]
- Way to go, girl!
[Refugio laughs]
Okay, it's your turn, honey.
Show me what you got.
It's easy, I promise.
Don't think, just do it.
- [grunting]
- Very good. Very good.
I can't! It's no use.
I told you, guys.
I told you I can't do this.
I never thought I'd be braver than you.
Where you going, girl?
[Lucy grunts]
Godmother!
I need you to get me a spot at an event.
Shall I get you a drink as well?
Do some squats for being late.
No, no, no. This is important.
I need to be in the wrestling event
that's happening at Rocío's school.
It's the last Children's Day
she'll get to celebrate.
I wanna make up for the ones I missed.
There's no way a mom can miss
that celebration.
Have a heart. It's for her little girl.
Since when do the Bride in Black
and her Bridesmaids of Horror
need an invitation?
[all whooping]
Oh, stick girl.
Up you get. Come on, move it.
Let's do it again! Come on!
Mom, did you know about
the celebrations at Rocío's school?
[tuts] What?
It's already National Children's Day?
- I just found out from the school today.
- [Victoria] Hmm.
You just need to eat.
And I mean the whole thing,
not just the sprinkles.
- Yeah, I'm gonna talk to her.
- [Victoria] No, don't do that.
If it helps, let me show you
some photos of her from other years.
[gasps] Last year
she went as a rabbit. [kisses]
What did I Well, okay.
- But
- But you have that half.
Yeah, just a bit
[vendors yelling]
I dunno, maybe I should be called
Princess Jax.
[Lucy and Josefina] Oh! [laughs]
And, Lucy, you should
be "The Dyke From Hell."
First of all, I am the one allowed
to actually call myself
a dyke.
And second,
I already told you I'm not wrestling!
Why?
You know, girls,
I reckon I'd like to be called
- Smoky Filly. Yeah!
- [laughs]
- Yee-haw!
- [all laugh]
- Oh my God!
- Smoky Filly?
Yeah.
Something's missing.
I mean, we can't go to that event
if we don't even know our own names.
No [sighs]
I know who can help us.
GYM
I thought you weren't going to wrestle?
Yeah, well,
you're very convincing. Thanks.
Try to connect to the "you"
from your past lives.
I'm Christian.
I don't believe in that stuff.
Then let's try
something more eclectic, okay?
- Electric?
- I said eclec Forget it.
- I'm just gonna call it a sensory test.
- Sensory test.
[Lucy] Hmm.
Use your sense of touch,
to choose a piece of fabric.
Obey your instincts.
- I love Basic Instinct. [gasps]
- [Betty] Sh!
This part is important 'cause it'll
help us choose your names, okay?
And you better not peak.
Why are you here?
You've already got yours.
'Cause I wanna know
what your new names are.
Hush! Betty said to be quiet
so stay quiet!
Thanks, Lu.
That's okay.
Now take off your blindfolds.
I thought black lace wasn't your thing.
- [laughs]
- Let's see.
Hmm.
You are a strong woman.
But you're misunderstood.
People blame you
for things you haven't done.
You are
Lilith.
The villain who was expelled
from paradise.
And from high school as well.
- [all laugh]
- Shut your face! I just decided to quit.
So you got all of that
from this piece of shitty fabric?
You're impulsive, yeah?
D'you hear that?
[Betty] But also repressed.
And there's something beautiful
hidden beneath the surface.
You are
The Sleeping Volcano!
- Ooh!
- Look at that! Eh?
- You go, girl.
- It sounds powerful!
Gray silk.
I can sense it.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
You don't know?
This has never happened to me before.
How strange!
I'll have to ask you some questions.
- [Refugio clears throat]
- [Lucy] That's fine.
I'm so sorry to interrupt.
Why aren't you training?
Because we're finding ourselves.
Why is blondie here?
Isn't this meant to be a secret?
Yeah, it is! But Betty here
is our, uh, image consultant.
- Huh.
- So nice to meet you.
The names she's chosen are pretty cool.
Allow me to introduce
Lilith.
[squeals]
- Sleeping Volcano!
- Ooh!
- Ooh!
- [Malena] And
Well, Lucy doesn't have one yet,
but she will soon.
- Yeah, so Betty's gotta ask me more
- Nah, nah, nah, nah.
Your names will be these:
Malena, you'll be "The Tick."
Because you're impossible to shake.
- [Josefina] Mm-hmm.
- Uh-uh-uh-uh.
You'll be "The Fruit Fly"
because you're so small and annoying. Ey?
And my Lucy
you'll be "The Bug Bite".
Because you're a pain. What do you think?
Oh, but, they're gross.
Listen up, blondie, you need names
for wrestlers, not for showgirls.
And you're gonna have to wear your masks.
'Cause one thing's for sure,
nobody can know who you are.
- Hmm?
- [Malena] All right.
[Refugio] Start training!
- This lady's so bland.
- Don't worry about it.
[Josefina] Quiet. Or she'll kick you out.
[lawyer] And then sign here and here.
[kids playing]
Perfect!
Now we can process your welfare
for single mothers
and grandmothers, as well.
But off the record,
you look so young that
no one will believe you're a grandmother.
Aren't you something!
You're an angel from above.
Oh, don't mention it.
You, Victoria, are a fallen angel.
You've done the right thing, trust me.
Now then, if you'll excuse me.
[Victoria] Bye now.
Ah, and just so you know,
the documents that you just signed
included the notification
of the lawsuit for custody
of the minor Rocío Gutiérrez Sandoval.
My client is Eduardo Barrera Gómez.
- Victoria, it was a pleasure.
- Hey! What?
Just a small insignificant detail.
But you tricked me into signing.
No, no, no, I did not trick you. No.
I'm still going to request
all that welfare.
But after we win custody.
Sh Get outta here, you piece of
Getting violent won't help you
in court now, will it?
No, 'cause there ain't gonna be
a court case.
Now, beat it, you asshole.
And hey, here's your fallen angel.
Mm!
[Betty] She's such a killjoy.
And she's got no class whatsoever.
But you're not doing it for her.
It's for me.
My wrestling name can't be Bug Bite!
What am I gonna do!?
All right. [exhales]
Now close your eyes
and tell me what you see.
- It's dark.
- Oh, please stop.
[Lucy laughs]
Like, what makes you special?
Um, I have a birthmark
in the shape of Japan on my back.
[chuckles] That's unique.
No.
I mean something about your personality.
I'm smart I guess.
Are you asking me?
No! No, I don't know. No.
- [chuckles]
- What else, Lu?
Hmm
That I'm an unemployed lawyer.
No. Let's see.
- Open your eyes.
- [exhales]
- [gasps]
- What's the matter?
Oh, nothing, I'm great.
- Just great.
- Okay, then turn around. Let me see you.
All right.
[gentle music playing]
Well, it's plain to see.
Yeah, I'm plain, I know that.
That's not what I meant.
I can see that you're a woman who's kind,
attentive, smart
But I already knew that.
- You can tell that from my eyes?
- [Betty] Mm-hmm.
And there's some fear too.
[laughs]
And how do I face that fear?
Just like that.
You find the courage
to face it, that's all.
- Just like that?
- [Betty] Mm-hmm.
And what if it goes badly?
And if it goes well?
[exhales]
- For a while
- [phone chimes]
Oh!
[laughs]
It's that guy Roberto.
He's texting me because I ordered
some Alstroemeria centerpieces,
but now they're outta stock.
I'm only letting it slide
'cause he's so handsome.
[laughs]
It's not that hard to get Alstroemerias.
- Alstroemerias.
- Uh
You know they're my favorite flower.
No love story is complete
without Alstroemerias.
- Hmm.
- [Malena] Hey.
I didn't wanna interrupt,
but you gotta see this.
- [Betty] What is it?
- Come on.
- Let's do it.
- [Betty] Come on, let's go.
[Malena] Hurry up Lucy!
[sighs]
[gasps]
None of this inventory is for sale.
We can use all this fabric
for our outfits.
- I love it!
- [gasps]
So that was your little surprise?
A piece of shit lawyer
who wants to take Rocío away from us?
I tried to warn Ángela.
Ugh! That's just bullshit, Lalo.
I give you the chance
to reconnect with your daughter,
and this is what you do to me?
- I'm just thinking about Rocío.
- [scoffs]
I don't think
Ángela sets a great example for her.
What are you talking about?
Ángela would do anything for her daughter.
Can we talk about this some place else?
Not without Ángela.
That's fine.
With Ángela.
- Three o'clock?
- At Juana's coffee place.
Deal.
[sighs]
["Cumbia del Magdalena"
by Juancho Valencia playing]
[indistinct chatter]
Why hasn't she uploaded the photo?
It's like psychological torture.
What's that?
I'm just putting my mask on.
Pato, we can't do the contest!
I'm sure Sofía's just waiting for us
to be up there,
probably so she can post the photo then
so the whole school can laugh at us.
Well, at me.
We're talking about social suicide.
- But it's not in the original packaging.
- They're not the ones that I asked for.
- Hi.
- Oh!
- [chuckling] Victoria!
- [Victoria chuckles]
I don't need to pay for electricity
'cause you light up the room!
- I'm looking for Ángela.
- [Mr. Gabriel] Yes
[woman] You gonna exchange these?
I already told you,
we don't exchange pantyhose.
- I heard that Ángela is, uh
- [woman] Well, give me a refund then.
Ma'am, would you just give me a moment?
I'm sorry, Victoria.
All the girls asked for the day off.
And left me alone in the store.
Although I did overhear Ángela say, uh
something about an event at a school.
Can I help you with anything else?
No thanks. That's perfect.
- It's me that needs your help!
- [Mr. Gabriel] Mm-hmm?
So why don't you stop flirting
and come here.
[blows air]
- [upbeat music playing]
- [crowd clapping]
Hey, hey, hey!
[crowd cheering]
I give to you,
the champion of all champions.
- Candy Caramelo!
- [cumbia music playing]
[crowd cheering]
And with her today
the most incredible, Lollipop Ladies!
And all the kids' favorite,
the one and only
KeMonito!
[crowd chanting] KeMonito!
KeMonito! KeMonito!
- Bravo! Great job! Whoo!
- [crowd applauding]
Let's go!
[crowd] KeMonito!
[upbeat music playing]
What's the deal
with those outfits? [laughs]
[continues laughing]
And you, Betty?
Are you gonna wrestle as well, princess?
No, but I'm part of the squad.
[Refugio] Ah.
You just don't give up.
Come on, don't spoil our fun.
I mean, look at us, we're dressed to kill.
Oh, and it's not Malena.
Say hello to Lilith.
And I'm the Sleeping Volcano.
[growls]
You can't even get up a hill!
Look, you can mock us later.
Time to kick some ass. Let's go.
[Candy] And now she's gonna perform
a front headlock.
And here you have
a perfectly executed Hurricanrana!
[crowd booing]
Just start fighting already!
You better shut your mouth,
you little brat.
- [booing]
- [woman] Oh, come on, what's wrong?
Okay, let's move on to the mask contest!
What do you say?
- [cheering]
- Si!
Everybody who's taking part,
get up here with your masks on!
[crowd applauding]
You two behind the garbage bins,
get up here!
I guess we gotta do
what your stepmom says.
All right then.
[Candy] Okay, kids,
get up here, get in the ring!
["Las Chicas Super Perreadoras"
by Dam Dam & Charly Gynn playing]
[crowd cheering]
How are Candy Sour Face
and her rotten candy minions doing today?
May I ask who invited you?
Exactly.
We're here to ask the same question,
because we didn't get the invite.
But it was probably a mistake, right?
[crowd] Si!
Look, bobo, there's no mistake,
you weren't invited.
Because this is
for professional wrestlers.
And where are these, uh,
professional wrestlers?
I don't see any, do you?
Exactly. You're a nobody.
Well, why don't we ask a real expert?
Hey, you!
You know who I am, don'tcha?
[woman] Who is she?
Yeah, you're the Bride in Black.
[Refugio] Yeah!
Do you hear that, Candy?
[mic thuds]
I've got this. [grunts]
- Come on then.
- Bring it on!
- Come on, let's go, let's go!
- [crowd chanting] Fight! Fight!
Hey, look who's over there.
I didn't know Roberto had a son.
Oh, I hope he's not married.
[Candy] Okay, lonely bride,
time to get outta the ring.
This is a private event.
Why don't we go a coupla rounds?
Whoever loses, leaves.
Uh, this is a school, not an arena.
But I can fix this, so don't worry.
- [chanting] You chicken! You chicken!
- Don't get too comfortable.
- [chanting] You chicken! You chicken!
- [kisses]
[crowd] You chicken!
[Bride in Black] That tattletale
has gone running off to the principal.
I like your mask.
What's your wrestling name?
The Junior Ex-Con.
- [kids laugh]
- [Bride in Black] Hey, hey, hey.
I don't care
if this is a school or an arena.
We're in a ring.
You don't talk in a ring.
Who knows any holds?
[man] Nobody.
She knows how to do it!
Of course she does,
'cause her mother's an ex-con.
Great, now we have our second volunteer!
You two, to the front.
- Get up there.
- Sh!
- Come on!
- Okay!
[indistinct chatter]
You perform a hold
so I can teach everyone how to escape.
Mm-hmm.
Stay away from me, freak show.
Who you calling freak show?
Let go of me!
Let go, Rocío!
You're hurting me Rocío!
Let go of me!
That's a perfectly-executed version
of the screwdriver.
[indistinct chatter]
Release her, Rocío!
They just told me you're not even worthy
to be here handing out drinks.
So I suggest that
you and your friends get lost.
If you want me outta the ring,
you gotta do it old school,
and that's through the ropes.
[scoffs] Don't kid yourself.
You're nowhere near ready
to fight against me.
[crowd murmuring]
[Refugio] Bride in Black!
This isn't the time or place.
Don't forget about our agreement.
[crowd murmuring]
[boy] What are they waiting for?
[indistinct chatter]
Betty!
Look at me!
[upbeat music plays]
[grunts]
- [crowd gasps, laughs]
- [grunts]
[Betty] Get outta the way,
let her breathe!
Hold on, hold on!
Move back, move back!
[Refugio] Let me see.
They made her look stupid.
[Candy] Yeah, real tough.
Maybe learn how
to get outta the ring first
and just leave fighting to the pros.
Okay, nothing to see here, guys!
- Let's go!
- Let's go!
[grunting]
[grunts]
[exhales]
Did you see that!?
It was the Bride in Black!
See you Ms. Paty! Thanks a lot!
- Victoria, if you're looking for Rocío
- What are you doing here?
I came here to sell my masks,
but I already sold all of them.
Rocío is inside
I'm looking for Ángela,
apparently she's here.
But she obviously doesn't care
about her daughter's celebrations.
Just give her a chance.
If I had just gotten out of jail,
this is the last place I'd go.
I don't know why I'm surprised
you're defending her.
You always took her side,
even if it went against me.
- Besides, I didn't ask your opinion.
- [sighs]
[upbeat music playing]
Thanks a lot for helping me.
I think Rocío really enjoyed it.
We're a team from here on out, okay?
In it together.
Or even better,
we're like a sorority, right?
- A sorority what?
- Never mind.
I forgot that you guys
only know fifty words between you.
- Don't say shit like that.
- Come on, leave her alone.
Don't pretend like you're better than us.
Guys, we have to make a pact.
We gotta keep our identities secret.
If one of us gets found out,
they'll discover us all.
And no one can know it's me,
till I get Rocío's love back.
This sounds great!
We'll be like secret agents.
Don't worry, your secret is safe with us.
Whoo!
[Refugio] Aw, look at you guys.
Okay, look, Refugio,
if you're gonna yell at us, just do it.
No, wait, don't do it now.
We're not up for that, are we?
This is the last time
you get your way. Eh?
- Lilith and Naked Volcano.
- Sleeping!
- [Refugio] Whatever.
- Agh!
Tomorrow be here an hour early.
And you, hurry up and pick a name
or you'll get stuck with Bug Bite.
[all laugh]
All right. For Bug Bite,
the Bride in Black,
and the Bridesmaids of Horror.
[all cheer]
[upbeat music playing]
I couldn't find her.
- [inhales]
- [Victoria sniffles]
Please try to understand, Victoria.
I just want what's best for her.
Just like you do for Ángela.
[emotional music playing]
If you really wanted a busted lip
that badly, you should've just said.
- [both laugh]
- Thanks.
It actually felt great,
throwing myself out there.
And I gotta keep doing that.
I've chosen a name.
What's that?
Alstroemeria.
Great name.
Yeah. [chuckles]
- And you know another thing?
- Hmm?
You're definitely not a florist,
but you got a rose-red cut on your face.
[both laugh]
You're starting to look like her type.
Nah. [laughs]
- Really?
- Uh-huh.
["Feliz Como la Weed" by Rabia Rivera,
Forte Realta & Hugo Segovia playing]
What's that?
School work?
Yeah.
Extra school work.
What for?
All right. You don't have to tell me.
I brought you this.
Happy Children's Day!
[kisses]
It's because I hit a girl at school today.
Was it the girl who put chewing gum
in your hair?
Look, when I was in jail,
they provoked me all the time.
And if I'd responded,
then I wouldn't have gotten out
for good behavior to be here with you.
Don't let them provoke you.
Fighting
it never ends well.
You really didn't fight anybody
when you were in jail?
[tuts] Well, maybe once.
But nobody saw.
So it doesn't count. [laughs]
What happened?
[exhales] You wanna know?
- Is Grandma here?
- No.
She went to go get groceries.
There was this woman
who thought she was the boss.
She always went around
screaming about stuff.
I think maybe she was nuts.
[Rocío giggles]
[horns honking]
[Ángela sighs]
Let's see.
Don't you ever knock?
What are you hiding?
A gift for Chío.
I've been calling you all day.
Where were you?
Just at work.
They've been treating me like
a ranch mule, 'cause I'm the new girl.
I went to check.
How many more lies are you gonna tell?
I went to the event at Chío's school.
So when I went to her school
and asked absolutely everyone,
why had no one seen you?
Please stop lying.
Tell me what's happening.
Nothing's happening.
I know about Birrias.
So what, you and Lalo are meeting up
to talk about me?
Stabbing your own daughter
in the back. Real nice.
I just want the truth!
The truth is, I'm trying to prove to you
and Rocío that I'm innocent!
I went to ask Birrias who planted
the drugs that were found on me.
[breathes deeply]
Dark times are coming, Ángela.
So just make sure you do the right thing.
What are you saying?
Here's that gift from Lalo.
Get ready to fight this tooth and nail,
'cause if you don't,
we'll lose her, Ángela.
