OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ 1999
[suspenseful music]
[car approaches]
[tense musical sting]
She found me.
[panting softly]
[door squeaks]
No, wait for me here.
He must not get away.
-[dog barks]
-[grunts]
[suspenseful music continues]
Óscar?
[dog barks]
Óscar, come out, I know you're here.
Relax, I'm not here to hurt you.
You have to give me
what you're publishing.
Don't be stupid, dude. Come on out.
-[door squeaks]
-[dog barks]
Óscar, don't move!
Colonel, he's getting away!
This guy is getting away!
Come on, donkey, let's go.
Come on, honey, don't fall.
Why so skittish?
Get him, Colonel!
Colonel!
[Óscar] Let's go, let's go!
That's it. No, no!
-[donkey farts]
-Oof!
You didn't have to get dirty.
[comical music]
Don't laugh. There's no heterosexual way
to ride a donkey.
Come on, donkey.
Come on, let's go.
All right. Okay, there.
-Go!
-[donkey brays]
I told you. They want to kill me.
For what I know and what's in my book.
And now you see
who's willing to do it, right?
I won't shut up
until everything is out in the open.
About her and everyone.
So let's pick up where we left off
[tense musical sting]
with our forbidden love.
What's this?
-An ambush or what?
-[chuckles] No.
An ambush is what your dad
and boyfriend did to split us up.
You've no idea what I've had to do
to recover from the setup
they pulled on me.
The setup you orchestrated
to have me go to that jail
and have my photos taken
so you could flaunt it afterward.
Tell me, did it make you feel like a man?
How can you say that?
Berny, you tricked me
into going to jail to be with you
and have my photos taken
to publish them later.
I swear I had nothing to do with it.
-I swear.
-Hmm.
Then why didn't you defend me, huh?
Why didn't you try to find me
and explain things?
Why did you disappear
and decide to show up now?
I didn't want to ruin your life.
Your dad warned me about that
when he saw me in jail.
-[emotional music]
-[mouths]
-My dad went to see you?
-Yes.
Ask him if you want.
I don't care if he knows anymore.
I wanted to tell you in person.
To look you in the eyes and tell you that,
and to also tell you
No matter what I've been through,
even with my gym being taken away
and the years of hard work
I don't regret a single moment
that we shared.
I don't regret anything.
[sobs softly]
No, Berny.
Shaio?
[Edgar] Shaio!
Are you leaving?
Can we talk about our deal?
-What?
-We're partners, aren't we?
Oh, that, yes. Um
I'm sorry. My mind is elsewhere.
[sighs]
Can we talk somewhere
that's not your office, please?
Yes, of course.
Go ahead.
[intriguing music]
[camera shutter clicks]
You and I
against the world.
Do you have any partners?
-My cousin and sister.
-[intriguing musical sting]
Anybody else?
[Edgar] All right, so
can we talk about our agency?
Uh-huh.
Our partnership still stands, right?
[sighs] Edgar, look, I
I wanted to let you know because I'm not
that impulsive schoolgirl anymore,
dreaming of starting an agency
out of thin air, you know?
I studied and prepared myself for this.
You know, I love to hear that.
You know why?
Because I've also changed.
I'm not the same person
you signed this contract with years ago.
I'm a different person.
What do you mean?
Let's just say that
I've shed some heavy,
uncomfortable baggage.
I don't have a boss to report to.
Perhaps that doesn't sound huge for you,
but it was, trust me.
And that helped
to strengthen me economically.
[intriguing upbeat music]
Let's dig.
[both chuckle]
-Keep at it.
-What could this be?
[cheering]
Take it, take it!
[laughing]
And I also got rid of useless partners
who didn't contribute anything.
-I didn't know you had partners.
-They're gone. They disappeared.
[chuckles] How did you do it?
I mean, to get rid of them.
Why do you ask?
Do you want to get rid of me?
[both chuckle]
-No, of course not.
-Obviously not.
Do you know what, Shaio? Just between us.
I'm thankful
for all the years that passed,
because it allowed me
to think differently,
to get rid of those partners.
I have a lot of ideas for our business
and a lot of contacts.
We need to iron out some details
to properly close the deal.
-Right? So
-Mm-hmm.
I guess you're aware that I found
an international partner for the agency.
Oh, right. I heard, and I would've
loved for you to check with me first.
But it's okay.
I looked into it, it's a good alliance.
Congratulations.
-It's an amazing alliance. Amazing.
-Yes, it's great.
But they're pretty demanding, you know?
And
Okay. Since it's an American company,
they don't handle things the same way
we do here in Colombia, you know?
As partners, they do need everything
laid out on the table.
And what's "everything"?
Well, making everything 100% legal.
You know, everybody has their thing,
but they do need that
in order to close the deal.
-Right.
-Uh-huh.
-What things exactly?
-Sure, um
Books, an account in the United States,
-and, what is it? A W-8 form.
-Okay.
-A background check.
-Yes.
And of course,
not being on the Clinton List.
And?
That's it? Is that all?
-Yes.
-[in English] Okay, no problem.
[in Spanish] But they need it fast.
When?
In three days, otherwise,
we don't close the deal.
All right. No problem.
I'll have everything in three days.
Okay.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Well, Edgar. One more thing.
-Yes.
I wanted to apologize
for not going to the concert
that one time
I wasn't feeling well, so
-[crowd ovation]
-Bravo!
Knock, knock!
I'm sorry about what happened.
It was a great concert, man.
Bravo! Bravo
[unsettling music]
-Doormat, let's go.
-Yes.
Hey, hey!
What concert?
[intriguing music]
He's a different Edgar?
Yes, that's right. He's different.
He's talking like a snob,
speaking English,
and he seems in the clouds
about the business.
I don't know what to think.
You told him exactly what we planned?
About the paperwork
and what he needs to show?
Yes. It was like asking
for a photocopy of his ID.
I can't be this guy's partner,
you know that!
I was sure he'd back out, but he didn't.
What will I tell Brandon, huh?
He thinks my only partners
are my cousin and my sister.
Oh no, Óscar.
Let's go!
I know what you're thinking.
How did we not realize he was a drug
dealer and a frontman for mobsters?
I mean, it was 1995.
The president got six million
from drug lords, and guess what?
In any case,
they would've brought it behind my back.
You can't avoid seeing
the elephant in the room.
Nothing happened,
even though Samper had plenty of clues.
I'll tell you what happened in Villavo
while I find refuge.
[horns honking]
No, Mom, the pressure is unbelievable.
He's saying that I can't do anything now
because I can't get pregnant.
No, I don't think I can take it anymore.
I'm locked up all day.
He's got me locked up
and I can't do anything.
And you know what?
I'm scared the man will get mad
and hit me and mess up my face.
He's armed, can you imagine?
-Get to work! You're taking too long.
-My God, Kelly.
Ask him if he can bring you here
so you can see a doctor.
Tell him you need
to undergo treatment to get pregnant
and he'll let you come.
Honey, listen, I've got some savings
that we could use to get away
to Bogotá, you hear?
I'm tired of mopping floors.
-Do you think he'll believe it?
-Yes, tell him nicely.
Tell him you're dying to have a baby,
but don't fight him. You know how he gets.
Mm! He does.
[emotional music]
Go now, tell me how it goes.
This place just got packed.
Go now and let me know.
I'll get a doctor to call you
and get you an appointment
so you can travel soon, okay?
Okay, Mom, I'll let you know.
Say hi to Vanessa and Auntie, bye.
Anything else, Mr. Hollman?
-Yes, a PH Plus, this little blue one.
-The blue one. Sure.
Mr. Hollman, your wife Mrs. Kelly,
is she coming today?
She's shopping around here, why?
She ordered her pills
and I could either give them to you
or wait for her.
[tense music]
-I should give them to her.
-No, I'll take them.
-Yes, sir.
-Add it to the bill.
It's 10,000 pesos.
DRUGSTORE
No problem.
How's it going?
One second, I'm going to the drugstore.
We're going home now.
-I'll be quick.
-I said we're going home.
I'm hungry.
It's getting very hot, let's go.
How did it go?
Everything okay?
Yes.
Everything is okay.
I was eyeing some clothes.
Maternity clothes, I assume.
Yes, I looked at those too.
I'm hoping we'll be buying it soon.
I hope so.
I'm sure we will.
This isn't the way home.
Really?
Maybe because we're not going home.
[Kelly] Where are we going?
[tense music]
Get out.
Move, damn it!
[quavers] Hollman,
tell me what's going on.
[tense music builds]
Damn you! You're a liar!
You made me think
we couldn't have kids because of me!
Now look!
What is that?
-What do you mean?
-Shut up, Kelly.
Shut up! Don't piss me off even more!
[grunts]
Why did you do this to me?
Why did you do this to me?
Tell me, why did you do it?
How have I treated you?
How do I treat your mom and your family?
Is this how you repay me?
I mean I wanted to be a model
and you didn't let me.
No, otherwise, how can we have a family?
Those people don't have families,
those women have nothing!
-So why did you marry me?
-To love you.
To love you, give you a family and a home.
To help you succeed,
but everything between us went to hell.
Everything went to hell!
Calm down, okay?
Hollman, relax. Here, let's talk.
Let's talk, I love you.
Don't do anything crazy.
Listen, Kelly.
You're my wife and you'll give me a child
whether you like it or not.
If you don't get pregnant,
you'll never leave. You won't leave!
That's all true,
and if I had to do it again, I would.
What gave you the right to do it?
And excuse me for talking like this,
but that was my life!
A life you were about to waste.
Sit down.
Right now you'd be married
and partnered with the track pants guy
and not Brandon, who's famous.
You wouldn't be a professional,
but a mom of two kids
and you'd be managing a gym.
Perhaps things would've been different.
-Oh, really?
-Well, yes.
If we didn't stop the photos
from being released, then what?
Your mom and I wouldn't have been able
to live down the shame for years.
And you'd be ruined professionally.
What you did was unfair, Dad.
Can't you see that you ruined his life?
Ruined his life?
He's just a trainer like he's always been.
Don't forget.
That guy deceived you to take some photos.
He wanted to sell them.
So what's unfair?
He should be grateful.
Who knows what anyone else would've done?
Luckily, it didn't happen.
You were able to travel,
to graduate, and you're engaged to Nico.
That still doesn't change what you did!
That was deeply unfair
because you ruined someone's life.
His dreams, his plans, everything.
We were going to be partners!
Yes, a partner who seduced you
to take pictures of you.
I'm sure that's not how it happened.
[Joaquín coughs]
That's how it was.
What you should focus on now
is moving forward with that project
and getting married.
Please, open your eyes.
You can't partner up
with someone who has legal issues.
Dad, please!
Berny didn't have legal issues.
-Did he not?
-No.
Not one paper was in order in his joint.
-He was selling all kinds of junk there.
-It wasn't him.
Honey, you're all grown up.
You can't let yourself be fooled
by some muscles.
You have to be very careful.
You're taking the path
into the world of beauty
which attracts social climbers,
and your mom and I won't be here
to defend you forever.
I won't sit with my arms crossed.
-Did you hear me?
-[coughs]
-And I won't
-[choking]
I want to be alone. [coughs]
You know you can't talk to your dad,
right?
-Look at his reaction.
-Ugh, I'm so angry!
Laura, what he and Nicolás did
to Berny there's no excuse.
Shaio, are you bringing up the past again?
-[sighs]
-We have an agency to launch.
All the girls you promised the world to
are over there.
What did you think?
That beauty can wait a lifetime?
[poignant music]
[sighs]
[Joaquín] What will you do?
I don't know, get someone
who can help you move.
But you have to come back.
As soon as the girl set foot in Bogotá,
that track pants guy popped up.
Listen, I did everything I could,
it's your turn now.
No, come on, what do you mean?
What's wrong with this jerk?
We warned him we'd ruin him,
but he still insists.
What can a muscular guy
in track pants comprehend?
I don't know what it is,
but this nobody opens his mouth
and women like my daughter
fall head over heels.
I understand perfectly well.
I mean, it was hard to get her back.
You think I don't know?
I paid for your grad school.
No. Wait, hold on.
We made a huge effort,
so I won't let that moron
get into her head.
I'll handle it.
I'll figure things out here in Boston
and I'll let you know.
-All right.
-Bye.
[horns honking]
[receptionist] Take care, goodbye.
-Hello, how are you?
-Very well, thanks. And you?
Very well, thank you. Is Mimi Levi here?
-Your name, please.
-Berny Gómez.
I'm her personal trainer.
Mm, I don't have training scheduled.
You know what?
She's waiting for me.
-It's okay, don't worry.
-No, sir, wait.
Hello, Mrs. Mimi?
Okay.
[Berny] Hello.
What a surprise!
I almost got out of these clothes for you!
Don't be scared!
I mean, we never see each other
in these outfits.
Hi, Mimi.
Sit down.
Mimi, I need a favor.
It's life or death, please.
-Shaio is back and you want to see her.
-In fact, I saw her already.
I need to prove that I had nothing to do
with the pictures they took in jail.
Oh, no.
I'm not getting involved
in that story again.
I already did my part
by not publishing the photos
so I wouldn't lose a friend, but
Especially not now that Shaio
is engaged. Forget it.
We know she can't marry that guy.
If I don't prove otherwise,
she'll go to the altar,
-and that's not fair either.
-It's terrible.
She's a fool judging by the photos,
but I'm sorry.
I can't do anything. I can't.
-Mimi.
-I can't.
You know what? Free class for three years.
Honey, you need that money more than me.
You once told me that if we go
to the Hebrew club together,
your friends would die of envy.
Let's go. I'll train you.
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
You'd come to the club with me?
But you have to tell me what to wear.
Whether it is shorts or a shirt,
so they'll let me in.
Please, that would be
the only clothing allowed.
Do we have a deal or what?
Oh, dear Berny. I'm so sorry.
I can't help you
because I would be throwing
my coworker under the bus.
He just brought me these photos
and everything.
No, I can't. We can't.
[whimsical music]
Oh, Mimi!
[smooches] Thank you.
I'm so sorry I can't help you,
my sweet Berny.
Then we'll arrange the class, okay?
-Yes, see you in class.
-Thanks so much.
[whispers] Thank you.
On the corner.
Hey, do we know each other?
No, I don't think so, why?
Didn't you bring us photos from jail
for us to publish in the magazine?
I don't know, friend,
I've taken lots of photos in jail.
-Which ones are they?
-[Berny] Come.
-Don't you want another empanada?
-[all] Sure!
Four more empanadas, please. It's on me.
-I'm starting to like this guy.
-[man] Yeah.
Man, these photos were hot,
there was a well-to-do girl
who went to visit her boyfriend
for some action, you know.
-That caught fire and I got paid well.
-Yes, on fire.
Too bad they didn't publish them,
they were cover material.
They were, weren't they?
[tense music]
Hey! You're kidding, you got me all dirty.
-I'm sorry.
-My nice pants.
-Look at my boots. [grunts]
-Sorry.
-Want to make some cash?
-Yes.
Record this. You'll thank me later.
-Go.
-[Albeiro] What are you doing? [whimpers]
Who asked you to publish those photos?
I want to know everything.
Who paid you? Who was it?
I want all the information.
-Nobody, man.
-I don't believe a word.
If you care about your balls,
you'll tell me.
I want all the details.
Let go of me.
[dial tone]
Nothing?
Nothing.
She didn't spend the night at home,
neither did Hollman.
I called until late last night,
I woke up early this morning
and nobody picks up.
Did she mention any trips
they were planning to make
when she called?
No, she just said she'd ask Hollman
for permission to come see a doctor.
But that's it.
Well, we'll have to keep calling.
Perhaps the phone is broken.
I don't know,
she sounded desperate about it.
-She's desperate.
-[tense music]
Let's hope it's nothing serious.
-Everything will be okay.
-Yes, it'll be okay.
-Yes.
-Yes.
[suspenseful music]
[keys jangle]
[tense musical sting]
[Kelly grunts]
Where do you think you're going?
-Tell me.
-Hollman, calm down.
I'm just getting dressed because I'm cold.
You didn't get it. Huh?
You're either leaving pregnant
or you're not leaving, you hear?
-[Kelly grunts]
-[Hollman groans]
[dramatic music]
You made me think
we couldn't have kids because of me!
Shut up!

Good afternoon, Kelly.
How's it going, Ceci?
I'm here to pick up the pills.
Didn't your husband
give them to you yesterday? He took them.
Oh, he forgot and he's on a trip.
It figures.
One second, I'll grab you some.
You can't stop taking these.
These are the generic ones.
They're cheaper,
I'm sold out of the other ones.
Oh, okay.
Can you do me a favor?
Can I get change for this bill
so I can make a call?
[Ceci] Of course, Kelly,
it's never a problem.
["Los Caminos de la Vida"
continues in background]
My goodness, Kelly.
I knew something bad had happened.
So where are you? Are you okay?
I didn't have a choice, Mom.
That guy was going to kill me.
What? Did he hit you?
He hit you in the face?
I'm telling you he kidnapped me.
I had to shoot him.
Do you only care about
if he messed up my face?
I need to know how you are
and what you plan to do.
I don't know, I can't stay here.
I'm heading to Bogotá now.
What about Hollman? Is he very hurt?
Do you think he's?
He's dead.
I had to shoot him near the heart.
Don't give me a speech,
it's the last thing I need right now.
Ask her why she didn't call the police.
What would I tell them?
That I killed my husband
because he hit me
and has been raping me for some time?
It's the truth, isn't it?
Look, everybody knows why I married him.
Everybody knows what the deal was.
Besides, people will think
I married him to keep the stuff.
Nobody will defend me, Mom.
What do you plan to do when they find him?
Nothing and no one will find me.
Nobody saw us go in the house together
and everyone thinks he's on a trip.
Nobody will suspect me.
If the police find me,
I'll tell them I don't know,
and that while he was on a trip,
I decided to see a doctor in Bogotá.
You know what, Mom?
If you want to help me,
get your things and go to Bogotá.
All right, Kelly. Don't worry.
I'll be there for sure, don't worry.
Listen, take this number down.
It's Ángelo's, he's a friend.
Someone I know from the hostel,
he's a good person.
He used to travel a lot
and told me I could call him
if I needed anything in Bogotá.
Please do me a favor and call him
as soon as you get there.
You tell him it's from me.
I think he rents out rooms
or may know someone.
Tell him we'll pay him later.
I've got Hollman's cash
from a card I knew the PIN for.
I already have some clothes
for the cold weather. I'm going to leave.
Give me the address.
[dramatic music]
It's not a mansion,
but it has everything
to get the agency started.
Electricity, a phone line,
water, all of it.
I love it!
Especially if you don't pay rent,
what else?
Right, sure.
But I told my dad I'd pay him back
after our first business deal.
It's actually a miracle
he even lent us the house.
It's pretty good to start, right?
Hey, does that phone work?
I need to start making calls
because I still have nothing
for the launch,
and I need this event to make history.
Hi, excuse me,
I'm looking for Laura Domínguez.
Of course. I'm guessing you're Elenita.
-Yes, Elena Duarte.
-Nice to meet you, Laura Domínguez.
-Did you get me what I asked for?
-Yes, of course.
-Here it is.
-That's it! Pure gold.
Everyone, let me introduce you to Elenita,
our secretary.
I'm sorry, what did I miss?
We said the three of us
would figure this out, but we never spoke.
It's nothing personal,
but we don't have the budget
to afford a secretary.
Don't worry, she pays for herself.
Do you want to see?
Elenita, what is Óscar's phone number?
Óscar Lorduy?
Um 312-2566.
And his pager code is 2804.
[all chuckle]
Elenita is an operator at Call Beep.
If she doesn't know or have a number,
it doesn't exist.
Elenita, nice to meet you.
We've spoken many times.
I know. Did you find your friend,
the photographer?
[tense musical sting]
This is wonderful! Welcome!
-Now we have all we need.
-I told you.
Of course, we have everything, right?
Now we need models.
We do. Man! Did that phone work?
-I need to call Paola.
-Should I connect you?
How do you know which Paola I need?
When you're referring to the other Paola,
you say Paola Andrea.
It must be Paola Turbay.
Can I sit there?
-Excuse me, I'll get started.
-Of course.
-[Óscar] How about our acquisition?
-You're a genius, Laura.
-What's the agency name?
-Klass 95.
Perfect.

OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ 1999
[suspenseful music]
[car approaches]
[tense musical sting]
She found me.
[panting softly]
[door squeaks]
No, wait for me here.
He must not get away.
-[dog barks]
-[grunts]
[suspenseful music continues]
Óscar?
[dog barks]
Óscar, come out, I know you're here.
Relax, I'm not here to hurt you.
You have to give me
what you're publishing.
Don't be stupid, dude. Come on out.
-[door squeaks]
-[dog barks]
Óscar, don't move!
Colonel, he's getting away!
This guy is getting away!
Come on, donkey, let's go.
Come on, honey, don't fall.
Why so skittish?
Get him, Colonel!
Colonel!
[Óscar] Let's go, let's go!
That's it. No, no!
-[donkey farts]
-Oof!
You didn't have to get dirty.
[comical music]
Don't laugh. There's no heterosexual way
to ride a donkey.
Come on, donkey.
Come on, let's go.
All right. Okay, there.
-Go!
-[donkey brays]
I told you. They want to kill me.
For what I know and what's in my book.
And now you see
who's willing to do it, right?
I won't shut up
until everything is out in the open.
About her and everyone.
So let's pick up where we left off
[tense musical sting]
with our forbidden love.
What's this?
-An ambush or what?
-[chuckles] No.
An ambush is what your dad
and boyfriend did to split us up.
You've no idea what I've had to do
to recover from the setup
they pulled on me.
The setup you orchestrated
to have me go to that jail
and have my photos taken
so you could flaunt it afterward.
Tell me, did it make you feel like a man?
How can you say that?
Berny, you tricked me
into going to jail to be with you
and have my photos taken
to publish them later.
I swear I had nothing to do with it.
-I swear.
-Hmm.
Then why didn't you defend me, huh?
Why didn't you try to find me
and explain things?
Why did you disappear
and decide to show up now?
I didn't want to ruin your life.
Your dad warned me about that
when he saw me in jail.
-[emotional music]
-[mouths]
-My dad went to see you?
-Yes.
Ask him if you want.
I don't care if he knows anymore.
I wanted to tell you in person.
To look you in the eyes and tell you that,
and to also tell you
No matter what I've been through,
even with my gym being taken away
and the years of hard work
I don't regret a single moment
that we shared.
I don't regret anything.
[sobs softly]
No, Berny.
Shaio?
[Edgar] Shaio!
Are you leaving?
Can we talk about our deal?
-What?
-We're partners, aren't we?
Oh, that, yes. Um
I'm sorry. My mind is elsewhere.
[sighs]
Can we talk somewhere
that's not your office, please?
Yes, of course.
Go ahead.
[intriguing music]
[camera shutter clicks]
You and I
against the world.
Do you have any partners?
-My cousin and sister.
-[intriguing musical sting]
Anybody else?
[Edgar] All right, so
can we talk about our agency?
Uh-huh.
Our partnership still stands, right?
[sighs] Edgar, look, I
I wanted to let you know because I'm not
that impulsive schoolgirl anymore,
dreaming of starting an agency
out of thin air, you know?
I studied and prepared myself for this.
You know, I love to hear that.
You know why?
Because I've also changed.
I'm not the same person
you signed this contract with years ago.
I'm a different person.
What do you mean?
Let's just say that
I've shed some heavy,
uncomfortable baggage.
I don't have a boss to report to.
Perhaps that doesn't sound huge for you,
but it was, trust me.
And that helped
to strengthen me economically.
[intriguing upbeat music]
Let's dig.
[both chuckle]
-Keep at it.
-What could this be?
[cheering]
Take it, take it!
[laughing]
And I also got rid of useless partners
who didn't contribute anything.
-I didn't know you had partners.
-They're gone. They disappeared.
[chuckles] How did you do it?
I mean, to get rid of them.
Why do you ask?
Do you want to get rid of me?
[both chuckle]
-No, of course not.
-Obviously not.
Do you know what, Shaio? Just between us.
I'm thankful
for all the years that passed,
because it allowed me
to think differently,
to get rid of those partners.
I have a lot of ideas for our business
and a lot of contacts.
We need to iron out some details
to properly close the deal.
-Right? So
-Mm-hmm.
I guess you're aware that I found
an international partner for the agency.
Oh, right. I heard, and I would've
loved for you to check with me first.
But it's okay.
I looked into it, it's a good alliance.
Congratulations.
-It's an amazing alliance. Amazing.
-Yes, it's great.
But they're pretty demanding, you know?
And
Okay. Since it's an American company,
they don't handle things the same way
we do here in Colombia, you know?
As partners, they do need everything
laid out on the table.
And what's "everything"?
Well, making everything 100% legal.
You know, everybody has their thing,
but they do need that
in order to close the deal.
-Right.
-Uh-huh.
-What things exactly?
-Sure, um
Books, an account in the United States,
-and, what is it? A W-8 form.
-Okay.
-A background check.
-Yes.
And of course,
not being on the Clinton List.
And?
That's it? Is that all?
-Yes.
-[in English] Okay, no problem.
[in Spanish] But they need it fast.
When?
In three days, otherwise,
we don't close the deal.
All right. No problem.
I'll have everything in three days.
Okay.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-Well, Edgar. One more thing.
-Yes.
I wanted to apologize
for not going to the concert
that one time
I wasn't feeling well, so
-[crowd ovation]
-Bravo!
Knock, knock!
I'm sorry about what happened.
It was a great concert, man.
Bravo! Bravo
[unsettling music]
-Doormat, let's go.
-Yes.
Hey, hey!
What concert?
[intriguing music]
He's a different Edgar?
Yes, that's right. He's different.
He's talking like a snob,
speaking English,
and he seems in the clouds
about the business.
I don't know what to think.
You told him exactly what we planned?
About the paperwork
and what he needs to show?
Yes. It was like asking
for a photocopy of his ID.
I can't be this guy's partner,
you know that!
I was sure he'd back out, but he didn't.
What will I tell Brandon, huh?
He thinks my only partners
are my cousin and my sister.
Oh no, Óscar.
Let's go!
I know what you're thinking.
How did we not realize he was a drug
dealer and a frontman for mobsters?
I mean, it was 1995.
The president got six million
from drug lords, and guess what?
In any case,
they would've brought it behind my back.
You can't avoid seeing
the elephant in the room.
Nothing happened,
even though Samper had plenty of clues.
I'll tell you what happened in Villavo
while I find refuge.
[horns honking]
No, Mom, the pressure is unbelievable.
He's saying that I can't do anything now
because I can't get pregnant.
No, I don't think I can take it anymore.
I'm locked up all day.
He's got me locked up
and I can't do anything.
And you know what?
I'm scared the man will get mad
and hit me and mess up my face.
He's armed, can you imagine?
-Get to work! You're taking too long.
-My God, Kelly.
Ask him if he can bring you here
so you can see a doctor.
Tell him you need
to undergo treatment to get pregnant
and he'll let you come.
Honey, listen, I've got some savings
that we could use to get away
to Bogotá, you hear?
I'm tired of mopping floors.
-Do you think he'll believe it?
-Yes, tell him nicely.
Tell him you're dying to have a baby,
but don't fight him. You know how he gets.
Mm! He does.
[emotional music]
Go now, tell me how it goes.
This place just got packed.
Go now and let me know.
I'll get a doctor to call you
and get you an appointment
so you can travel soon, okay?
Okay, Mom, I'll let you know.
Say hi to Vanessa and Auntie, bye.
Anything else, Mr. Hollman?
-Yes, a PH Plus, this little blue one.
-The blue one. Sure.
Mr. Hollman, your wife Mrs. Kelly,
is she coming today?
She's shopping around here, why?
She ordered her pills
and I could either give them to you
or wait for her.
[tense music]
-I should give them to her.
-No, I'll take them.
-Yes, sir.
-Add it to the bill.
It's 10,000 pesos.
DRUGSTORE
No problem.
How's it going?
One second, I'm going to the drugstore.
We're going home now.
-I'll be quick.
-I said we're going home.
I'm hungry.
It's getting very hot, let's go.
How did it go?
Everything okay?
Yes.
Everything is okay.
I was eyeing some clothes.
Maternity clothes, I assume.
Yes, I looked at those too.
I'm hoping we'll be buying it soon.
I hope so.
I'm sure we will.
This isn't the way home.
Really?
Maybe because we're not going home.
[Kelly] Where are we going?
[tense music]
Get out.
Move, damn it!
[quavers] Hollman,
tell me what's going on.
[tense music builds]
Damn you! You're a liar!
You made me think
we couldn't have kids because of me!
Now look!
What is that?
-What do you mean?
-Shut up, Kelly.
Shut up! Don't piss me off even more!
[grunts]
Why did you do this to me?
Why did you do this to me?
Tell me, why did you do it?
How have I treated you?
How do I treat your mom and your family?
Is this how you repay me?
I mean I wanted to be a model
and you didn't let me.
No, otherwise, how can we have a family?
Those people don't have families,
those women have nothing!
-So why did you marry me?
-To love you.
To love you, give you a family and a home.
To help you succeed,
but everything between us went to hell.
Everything went to hell!
Calm down, okay?
Hollman, relax. Here, let's talk.
Let's talk, I love you.
Don't do anything crazy.
Listen, Kelly.
You're my wife and you'll give me a child
whether you like it or not.
If you don't get pregnant,
you'll never leave. You won't leave!
That's all true,
and if I had to do it again, I would.
What gave you the right to do it?
And excuse me for talking like this,
but that was my life!
A life you were about to waste.
Sit down.
Right now you'd be married
and partnered with the track pants guy
and not Brandon, who's famous.
You wouldn't be a professional,
but a mom of two kids
and you'd be managing a gym.
Perhaps things would've been different.
-Oh, really?
-Well, yes.
If we didn't stop the photos
from being released, then what?
Your mom and I wouldn't have been able
to live down the shame for years.
And you'd be ruined professionally.
What you did was unfair, Dad.
Can't you see that you ruined his life?
Ruined his life?
He's just a trainer like he's always been.
Don't forget.
That guy deceived you to take some photos.
He wanted to sell them.
So what's unfair?
He should be grateful.
Who knows what anyone else would've done?
Luckily, it didn't happen.
You were able to travel,
to graduate, and you're engaged to Nico.
That still doesn't change what you did!
That was deeply unfair
because you ruined someone's life.
His dreams, his plans, everything.
We were going to be partners!
Yes, a partner who seduced you
to take pictures of you.
I'm sure that's not how it happened.
[Joaquín coughs]
That's how it was.
What you should focus on now
is moving forward with that project
and getting married.
Please, open your eyes.
You can't partner up
with someone who has legal issues.
Dad, please!
Berny didn't have legal issues.
-Did he not?
-No.
Not one paper was in order in his joint.
-He was selling all kinds of junk there.
-It wasn't him.
Honey, you're all grown up.
You can't let yourself be fooled
by some muscles.
You have to be very careful.
You're taking the path
into the world of beauty
which attracts social climbers,
and your mom and I won't be here
to defend you forever.
I won't sit with my arms crossed.
-Did you hear me?
-[coughs]
-And I won't
-[choking]
I want to be alone. [coughs]
You know you can't talk to your dad,
right?
-Look at his reaction.
-Ugh, I'm so angry!
Laura, what he and Nicolás did
to Berny there's no excuse.
Shaio, are you bringing up the past again?
-[sighs]
-We have an agency to launch.
All the girls you promised the world to
are over there.
What did you think?
That beauty can wait a lifetime?
[poignant music]
[sighs]
[Joaquín] What will you do?
I don't know, get someone
who can help you move.
But you have to come back.
As soon as the girl set foot in Bogotá,
that track pants guy popped up.
Listen, I did everything I could,
it's your turn now.
No, come on, what do you mean?
What's wrong with this jerk?
We warned him we'd ruin him,
but he still insists.
What can a muscular guy
in track pants comprehend?
I don't know what it is,
but this nobody opens his mouth
and women like my daughter
fall head over heels.
I understand perfectly well.
I mean, it was hard to get her back.
You think I don't know?
I paid for your grad school.
No. Wait, hold on.
We made a huge effort,
so I won't let that moron
get into her head.
I'll handle it.
I'll figure things out here in Boston
and I'll let you know.
-All right.
-Bye.
[horns honking]
[receptionist] Take care, goodbye.
-Hello, how are you?
-Very well, thanks. And you?
Very well, thank you. Is Mimi Levi here?
-Your name, please.
-Berny Gómez.
I'm her personal trainer.
Mm, I don't have training scheduled.
You know what?
She's waiting for me.
-It's okay, don't worry.
-No, sir, wait.
Hello, Mrs. Mimi?
Okay.
[Berny] Hello.
What a surprise!
I almost got out of these clothes for you!
Don't be scared!
I mean, we never see each other
in these outfits.
Hi, Mimi.
Sit down.
Mimi, I need a favor.
It's life or death, please.
-Shaio is back and you want to see her.
-In fact, I saw her already.
I need to prove that I had nothing to do
with the pictures they took in jail.
Oh, no.
I'm not getting involved
in that story again.
I already did my part
by not publishing the photos
so I wouldn't lose a friend, but
Especially not now that Shaio
is engaged. Forget it.
We know she can't marry that guy.
If I don't prove otherwise,
she'll go to the altar,
-and that's not fair either.
-It's terrible.
She's a fool judging by the photos,
but I'm sorry.
I can't do anything. I can't.
-Mimi.
-I can't.
You know what? Free class for three years.
Honey, you need that money more than me.
You once told me that if we go
to the Hebrew club together,
your friends would die of envy.
Let's go. I'll train you.
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
You'd come to the club with me?
But you have to tell me what to wear.
Whether it is shorts or a shirt,
so they'll let me in.
Please, that would be
the only clothing allowed.
Do we have a deal or what?
Oh, dear Berny. I'm so sorry.
I can't help you
because I would be throwing
my coworker under the bus.
He just brought me these photos
and everything.
No, I can't. We can't.
[whimsical music]
Oh, Mimi!
[smooches] Thank you.
I'm so sorry I can't help you,
my sweet Berny.
Then we'll arrange the class, okay?
-Yes, see you in class.
-Thanks so much.
[whispers] Thank you.
On the corner.
Hey, do we know each other?
No, I don't think so, why?
Didn't you bring us photos from jail
for us to publish in the magazine?
I don't know, friend,
I've taken lots of photos in jail.
-Which ones are they?
-[Berny] Come.
-Don't you want another empanada?
-[all] Sure!
Four more empanadas, please. It's on me.
-I'm starting to like this guy.
-[man] Yeah.
Man, these photos were hot,
there was a well-to-do girl
who went to visit her boyfriend
for some action, you know.
-That caught fire and I got paid well.
-Yes, on fire.
Too bad they didn't publish them,
they were cover material.
They were, weren't they?
[tense music]
Hey! You're kidding, you got me all dirty.
-I'm sorry.
-My nice pants.
-Look at my boots. [grunts]
-Sorry.
-Want to make some cash?
-Yes.
Record this. You'll thank me later.
-Go.
-[Albeiro] What are you doing? [whimpers]
Who asked you to publish those photos?
I want to know everything.
Who paid you? Who was it?
I want all the information.
-Nobody, man.
-I don't believe a word.
If you care about your balls,
you'll tell me.
I want all the details.
Let go of me.
[dial tone]
Nothing?
Nothing.
She didn't spend the night at home,
neither did Hollman.
I called until late last night,
I woke up early this morning
and nobody picks up.
Did she mention any trips
they were planning to make
when she called?
No, she just said she'd ask Hollman
for permission to come see a doctor.
But that's it.
Well, we'll have to keep calling.
Perhaps the phone is broken.
I don't know,
she sounded desperate about it.
-She's desperate.
-[tense music]
Let's hope it's nothing serious.
-Everything will be okay.
-Yes, it'll be okay.
-Yes.
-Yes.
[suspenseful music]
[keys jangle]
[tense musical sting]
[Kelly grunts]
Where do you think you're going?
-Tell me.
-Hollman, calm down.
I'm just getting dressed because I'm cold.
You didn't get it. Huh?
You're either leaving pregnant
or you're not leaving, you hear?
-[Kelly grunts]
-[Hollman groans]
[dramatic music]
You made me think
we couldn't have kids because of me!
Shut up!

Good afternoon, Kelly.
How's it going, Ceci?
I'm here to pick up the pills.
Didn't your husband
give them to you yesterday? He took them.
Oh, he forgot and he's on a trip.
It figures.
One second, I'll grab you some.
You can't stop taking these.
These are the generic ones.
They're cheaper,
I'm sold out of the other ones.
Oh, okay.
Can you do me a favor?
Can I get change for this bill
so I can make a call?
[Ceci] Of course, Kelly,
it's never a problem.
["Los Caminos de la Vida"
continues in background]
My goodness, Kelly.
I knew something bad had happened.
So where are you? Are you okay?
I didn't have a choice, Mom.
That guy was going to kill me.
What? Did he hit you?
He hit you in the face?
I'm telling you he kidnapped me.
I had to shoot him.
Do you only care about
if he messed up my face?
I need to know how you are
and what you plan to do.
I don't know, I can't stay here.
I'm heading to Bogotá now.
What about Hollman? Is he very hurt?
Do you think he's?
He's dead.
I had to shoot him near the heart.
Don't give me a speech,
it's the last thing I need right now.
Ask her why she didn't call the police.
What would I tell them?
That I killed my husband
because he hit me
and has been raping me for some time?
It's the truth, isn't it?
Look, everybody knows why I married him.
Everybody knows what the deal was.
Besides, people will think
I married him to keep the stuff.
Nobody will defend me, Mom.
What do you plan to do when they find him?
Nothing and no one will find me.
Nobody saw us go in the house together
and everyone thinks he's on a trip.
Nobody will suspect me.
If the police find me,
I'll tell them I don't know,
and that while he was on a trip,
I decided to see a doctor in Bogotá.
You know what, Mom?
If you want to help me,
get your things and go to Bogotá.
All right, Kelly. Don't worry.
I'll be there for sure, don't worry.
Listen, take this number down.
It's Ángelo's, he's a friend.
Someone I know from the hostel,
he's a good person.
He used to travel a lot
and told me I could call him
if I needed anything in Bogotá.
Please do me a favor and call him
as soon as you get there.
You tell him it's from me.
I think he rents out rooms
or may know someone.
Tell him we'll pay him later.
I've got Hollman's cash
from a card I knew the PIN for.
I already have some clothes
for the cold weather. I'm going to leave.
Give me the address.
[dramatic music]
It's not a mansion,
but it has everything
to get the agency started.
Electricity, a phone line,
water, all of it.
I love it!
Especially if you don't pay rent,
what else?
Right, sure.
But I told my dad I'd pay him back
after our first business deal.
It's actually a miracle
he even lent us the house.
It's pretty good to start, right?
Hey, does that phone work?
I need to start making calls
because I still have nothing
for the launch,
and I need this event to make history.
Hi, excuse me,
I'm looking for Laura Domínguez.
Of course. I'm guessing you're Elenita.
-Yes, Elena Duarte.
-Nice to meet you, Laura Domínguez.
-Did you get me what I asked for?
-Yes, of course.
-Here it is.
-That's it! Pure gold.
Everyone, let me introduce you to Elenita,
our secretary.
I'm sorry, what did I miss?
We said the three of us
would figure this out, but we never spoke.
It's nothing personal,
but we don't have the budget
to afford a secretary.
Don't worry, she pays for herself.
Do you want to see?
Elenita, what is Óscar's phone number?
Óscar Lorduy?
Um 312-2566.
And his pager code is 2804.
[all chuckle]
Elenita is an operator at Call Beep.
If she doesn't know or have a number,
it doesn't exist.
Elenita, nice to meet you.
We've spoken many times.
I know. Did you find your friend,
the photographer?
[tense musical sting]
This is wonderful! Welcome!
-Now we have all we need.
-I told you.
Of course, we have everything, right?
Now we need models.
We do. Man! Did that phone work?
-I need to call Paola.
-Should I connect you?
How do you know which Paola I need?
When you're referring to the other Paola,
you say Paola Andrea.
It must be Paola Turbay.
Can I sit there?
-Excuse me, I'll get started.
-Of course.
-[Óscar] How about our acquisition?
-You're a genius, Laura.
-What's the agency name?
-Klass 95.
Perfect.
