THE POWER OF BEAUTY
"THIS STORY IS A WORK OF FICTION,
BASED ON AND INSPIRED
BY REAL-LIFE EVENTS."
[Pedro] The stars have finally aligned
to brighten up this city.
A magical, sophisticated moment,
somewhat European, a little New York,
-that took place in Bogotá.
-The news.
Beautiful women, bodies dancing as one.
Elegance, class, sophistication.
[José] Good day.
[Pedro] A moment engraved by Shaio,
Laura, and Moni Domínguez,
three women who returned to succeed.
Yes, to shine bright with beauty,
their beauty, and that of the most
beautiful women in the world,
-heating up the cold Bogotá nights.
-[squeals]
Everyone's raving
about what we did last night!
I can't believe it.
We knocked it out of the park!
-We're the best!
-The best!
[Shaio] "Just like Studio 54 in New York,
all the celebrity guests got to dance
at an unforgettable party."
[squeals] I can't believe it.
-[Paulina] Great.
-[Shaio] Unbelievable.
What about Kelly, Nayibe, and Hollman?
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
They couldn't sleep at all
since they got to Bogotá.
Especially Kelly, her head still spinning
from the fact that she had killed
her husband.
VALENCIA'S CORNER STORE
Kelly, are you scared
they'll look for you?
That they'll look into
what happened to him?
No, nobody saw me with him.
I didn't leave a trace.
He's the only one who could talk,
actually, and he's dead.
Aren't you going to claim what's yours?
You were the wife, Kelly.
You put up with that pig for years.
There must be something.
Vane, all I want to do
is pick up where I left off.
Hollman wanted to ruin me,
he wanted me pregnant so I wouldn't model.
-And that's why
-I shot him because he kidnapped me.
If I didn't sleep with him,
he would've raped me, get it?
No one can mess with me
or blame me for anything
if all I did was defend myself.
But you got away, Kelly.
Who will believe you now?
What are you talking about?
What's your problem?
Do you want me to be screwed?
-No, take it easy.
-[intriguing music]
I'm on your side.
I want you to be well.
I want us to be well.
I want you to become a model
and I want to study.
I won't ever tell anyone
what you did, I swear.
[Ángelo] All right. You better.
Let's raise the bar, no?
-[man] Hey!
-[Berny chuckles]
[man] See you.
[Berny] Hey! Oof!
Excellent.
So? Patios or Subachoque tomorrow?
I'd go with Patios
with those skinny wheels of yours.
Hang on.
I don't think I can go tomorrow.
I'll let you know later, man.
Okay, but eat your veggies.
I had to wait for you today.
You're the main car, dude.
I'm the caboose.
I like to ride my bike,
you like to tailgate.
-I'll see you, kid.
-Take care.
-Bye.
-All good, man.
[door opens]
-[Ángelo] Good morning.
-[both] Good morning.
-Did you get some rest?
-Yes.
-Good morning.
-Good. Hi, Nayibe.
Breakfast, anybody? I have warm bread.
There's coffee, eggs, and cheese.
That sounds good, Ángelo.
That's so nice of you.
-I'll be there after I get decent.
-Tell your sister.
No, my sister isn't really
a breakfast person.
[Ángelo] How come?
Even stress makes her gain weight.
She's trying to cut back on everything.
-Ángelo! Good morning.
-[Ángelo] Hi.
-I heard you say breakfast.
-[Ángelo] Yes.
-Great. I'm down.
-There's enough for everyone.
Wait. Girls, I need a word with you.
All of you. Come on now.
[suspenseful tone]
Before any breakfast,
even before going out,
we have to agree.
Agree on what?
[Nayibe] On the version of our lives.
What we'll tell people.
What happened to Kelly is serious
and people could ask.
Ask what?
In Bogotá, people don't even know
of Hollman's existence.
It doesn't matter.
In any case,
four women arriving in a new city alone,
who leave everything behind so easily,
that's not normal.
Even if we left it all behind,
it doesn't mean people
will call us fugitives.
Right. In any case,
people will ask lots of questions.
We have to agree on a version.
What are we going to say?
-The truth, honey.
-The truth? Yeah, right.
Easy for you and Vanessa to say.
But what about Kelly, huh?
If they ask if she's married or not,
what will she say?
That I'm a widow.
What? Why would you say that?
Are you crazy?
No, ma'am.
Saying you're a widow is like carrying
a gray cloud over your head.
It makes you ten years older.
On top of that,
it gives people the chance to ask her
how her husband died.
What will you say? Tell us.
What do you want me to say?
You can just say
you had a great love who is gone.
And say it with a heavy heart, affected.
People will stop asking then. Trust me.
All right, let's have some breakfast.
No, ma'am! This can't be rushed.
They can still ask
more uncomfortable questions.
Like what, Auntie? You're scaring me.
We don't know if they'll investigate
the Hollman situation someday.
We need to agree
on what we're going to say.
So let's say this.
We all came here with Kelly
for her casting call.
While we were here,
we received a call about
how her partner was attacked and died.
So she got depressed and bedridden.
That's why we didn't go
to the funeral or anything.
And we decided to stay here.
Oh, Mom, I told you already.
I don't think anybody is coming here.
It doesn't matter, honey.
Nevertheless,
four people with four different stories,
that raises suspicions.
The other thing is,
we need to behave with decorum,
with moderation.
We can't be snooping around,
acting crazy, or elated.
We don't want them to say later
that when we got here,
it looked like we were celebrating.
We're mourning, ladies. We are mourning.
Hmm? Is that clear?
If someone asks you
an uncomfortable question,
look at me and I'll respond.
Can we have breakfast now? I'm starving!
What I need is a radio.
Last night was the agency's launch.
I want to know what's next.
I'll get dressed.
[suspenseful music]
What if you find her?
Are you going to pop her,
like she deserves?
She treated you like a fool
and left you behind
for the vultures to pick at you.
[laughs] Now that's cold-blooded.
If I were you,
I'd find her and make her pay,
with tears of blood.
Don't worry, I got her a welcoming party.
I need to find a place to stay.
You can stay
with my sister-in-law for a bit.
What about your job?
Don't you have to go back?
No.
Yes, but I asked them for a break.
I have three months.
What if she calls you there?
What if she finds out you're alive?
She won't call, man.
She doesn't know anyone there.
She only knows you,
that's why she called you.
I'd pay anything to see her face
when she realizes
that you're alive and kicking.
That's going to be nice!
-[car rattles]
-Ow! Son of a
[moans]
-[radio static]
-[M Radio jingle plays]
[Pedro] A promise is a promise.
With us, the women of the hour.
They've lit up the gloomy Bogotá nights.
Okay, but before anything else,
I'd like to recall an interview.
One that I conducted myself
with Shaio Domínguez a few years ago.
Let's review it, sir.
Please, humiliate me.
[Pedro] What's next?
[Shaio] I'm going to set up an agency
to take Colombian beauty
-to the best fashion runways
-[whispers] Right.
around the world.
[Pedro] Are you suggesting
turning Colombian models
into the next Claudia Schiffer,
Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford?
[Shaio] Why not?
Well, years later,
with a degree under her belt
and all her promises fulfilled,
we have the privilege
of having Shaio Domínguez
and her agency Klass 95 back again.
Here she is, Shaio, gorgeous as always.
And I also have here, very close to me,
her spectacular partners.
-Thanks, Pedro.
-Thanks, Pedro.
[Laura] Thanks so much.
Okay,
let's talk about this amazing launch.
It's really good news
for all the beautiful women
who want to become models.
-Right, Shaio?
-A total success, Pedro.
But I feel that beyond the celebration,
the most important thing we achieved
were all the doors
that opened for the agency.
-Totally.
-The contacts we made.
I heard that you received
quite a few interesting offers.
Does it ring a bell, perhaps,
one of them being a campaign
with an important
multinational corporation?
Can we mention it or is it still a secret?
We can. In fact,
it's one of the reasons we're here today.
A close friend of the family
invited us to participate
in a super important campaign
that he's organizing.
Believe me,
it's the most impressive soap campaign
in recent memory.
It's on a silver platter for you.
There's a challenge for Klass 95
to prove that it's the hot thing now.
Hold on. A silver platter, Koke?
You're so demanding when choosing models.
Rather, tell me exactly
what you're looking for, please.
Easy, I want a female icon.
The type of woman
that you can't get out of your head.
I want women to want to lather that soap
all over their bodies.
And for men to eat it up.
-I mean, the soap.
-[chuckles] Of course.
-Hi, Koke, how are you?
-How are you?
-Fine, and you?
-Very well.
Do you remember
I was going to introduce you to a model
for the campaign?
-[Koke] Yes.
-Bárbara.
-She's divine.
-Her name is Bárbara.
[Koke] But we're not casting,
we're celebrating.
You're the only ones I invited
to the campaign, so you'll be competing.
I'll see how you impress me, okay?
Shall we dance?
Excuse me.
All right. The competition is welcome.
Competition is when two titans face off.
I don't [chuckles]
I don't see another one here.
Oh, sweetheart. This is just a formality.
We'll each present our thing,
and then Koke will know.
He'll choose me. Experience.
Hmm and modesty.
I hate that word,
it's the refuge of the ugly and mediocre.
Experience can't be improvised, you know?
When there's no competition,
it's not experience, it's luck.
Luck won't last forever.
[tense musical sting]
Enjoy the party and learn.
A double whiskey.
An institution
in the fashion world in Bogotá.
A very tough nut to crack, Shaio.
Come on, tell me.
What's going to be
the strategy to beat them?
Well, not wasting time, Pedro.
With your help and our eye,
we will find the new face of Klass 95.
What does that new face look like, Laura?
She's a woman between 17 and 22,
more or less.
An authentic, fresh, natural woman.
Colombian, of course.
That's what sets us apart
from Grosso Models.
We do believe in Colombian beauty.
-Totally.
-I've got an eye for that. I proved it.
And it's finely tuned
to find that star for the next campaign.
Because that's what she'll be, Pedro.
A new star.
-[indistinct chatter]
-[glass clinks]
[Pedro] Let's pretend that,
I don't know, I'm a model.
-Shush!
-[Pedro] What do I have to do?
Shush! Hey, I can't hear!
[Nayibe] What?
[Shaio] She can bring a portfolio
or any photographic record.
Stop by the Klass 95 offices
and we'll do the casting.
Listen, the most important thing
is to have a good attitude.
This campaign is our baby.
Oh, no! Why wouldn't they say
where Klass 95 is located?
How am I going to get there?
Relax, honey. Don't worry,
Ángelo must know where that is.
-Ángelo, you'll help her find it, right?
-[Ángelo] Of course.
Why would you do that? It's embarrassing.
His shop keeps him very busy.
I'll take you. I also know Bogotá.
Why don't you get yourself
some nice fabric?
Kelly can show up
to the casting call looking good.
I have some fabric at the shop.
Not much, but I always try to get
the latest in fashion.
Well, what you see in magazines.
Oh, you must have good taste.
Sure. We'll take a look at the fabric
after breakfast.
Okay, and if you don't like them,
we can go to La Alquería quarter,
that's where all
the wholesale suppliers are.
You can find anything there.
If it's not at La Alquería,
it doesn't exist.
And if you want, I can come with you.
-Of course. Happily.
-[soft music]
Well, with a tour guide like you
who understands the job.
[laughs] It'll be great!
This is wonderful. I'd love to.
-Enough talking. Let's go to La Alquería.
-That's it.
I'm going to the university
to find out about registration.
-Mom?
-[Giselle] Yes.
Can you help me find transportation?
Of course. I'll take a shower
and I'll see you at the shop
and show you how to get there.
All right. Excuse me, everybody.
-Ángelo, wait.
-What is it?
-I wanted to thank you.
-What for?
We are going through
an extreme mourning period.
And to get unconditional support
from someone like you
feels very good.
Are you a widow? You, Nayibe?
Oh, no. No, I'm single.
-More single than ever.
-[intriguing music]
Was this recent?
[Nayibe] Well, sort of.
Honestly, we try not to talk
to her about it too much
because it's so recent.
Right.
We made the choice
of never talking about it again.
That makes sense.
She needs to get better
and feel better, right?
-Yes.
-Well, please excuse me, Nayibe.
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
I'm in a rough spot.
[panting]
[bus approaches]
Sir!
-Hey! Sir.
-[man] What's the matter?
-Can you give me a lift?
-Where are you going?
Bogotá.
-Get in, quickly!
-Thanks.
Go!
Hello? Hello, can you hear me?
[suspenseful music]
Yes. Pick me up on the main road,
I found him.
Hurry, he can't get away.
No doubt, that night was a success
for the Domínguezes.
For Edgar, it was a home run.
That night, he achieved
what he never had before.
I have everything ready,
the visa, paperwork, and appointment.
I could use one little favor.
I hope it's not a problem.
Please. Sure thing.
I'd like to get there
and say that the consul is my friend.
No. You're not my friend.
[in English] You're my brother.
[in Spanish] My brother.
[thick accent] Listen, just ask for me
and we'll be waiting for you
with open doors.
-Are you sure?
-Thanks.
-Of course.
-Thanks.
Edgar made sure to leave evidence
so that no one could deny it.
[camera shutter clicks]
He was one of them. The partner.
The bar owner. The tough guy.
[intriguing music]
His plan to infiltrate the lives
of the Domínguezes and the agency
was one step away.
A day later, at five in the morning,
people were lining up for the dream.
Just say what I told you.
You don't know anybody
and you're on vacation.
You're not staying by any means
because you miss your mom.
Gringos are stupid, don't forget.
[woman] You're definitely
getting the visa.
You're the top student.
Yes, from a second-rate school.
Please, don't say that you got expelled
from the previous school
for smoking those nasty things.
-Again, Mom?
-[scoffs]
Don't worry, boss. Don't put that face on.
How could they not give you the visa
with such a great look?
Also, who's going to think
that we retire people six feet under?
Shut up! Don't say stupid shit, Elver.
These guys have cameras everywhere.
[intriguing music]
I'll get breakfast at the hotel here.
When there are
three people ahead of you,
page me and I'll come over.
What? Where from? My satellite phone?
Don't be stupid. That street vendor.
You ask the kid to go to the booth,
page me, and I'll come.
Just pass me a dead president.
You're always broke.
[Óscar] Not even Bill Gates
has ever invented a communication system
as effective
as the Colombian street vendor.
Quick, cheap, accurate.
It was the true beginning
of the local internet.
But not only at that embassy
were people lining up for a dream.
At Klass 95's offices, dozens of women
were waiting for that passport to beauty
hoping it would change their lives.
[upbeat music]
If they ask you for your measurements,
what will you say?
-60, 90, 60?
-No! Say, "90, 60, 90."
"90, 60, 90."
It's true, the order of factors
doesn't affect the product,
but you're divine, go ahead.
Check who the guy is deciding the casting,
and we'll go all in.
-How do you know it's a guy?
-Come on, it's always a guy who decides.
If there are nice chicks,
it's always a guy, you hear?
Just wait, I'll find him and court him.
-As usual, a sexy liar. Bye.
-[woman laughs]
Hey, what's up with her?
She's cutting the line!
REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA
So, what did my friend the consul say?
Did you give him my regards?
I would've loved to see him.
Too bad he didn't show.
Does he still have a hangover?
We partied pretty hard.
Yes. We drank like Vikings.
And the women, it was crazy!
-The consul sends his regards.
-[in English] Perfect, my friend.
[in Spanish] He told me to tell you this
[tense music]
[in English] Next!
-Huh?
-Nice, kid!
Multiple entries for five years.
How about that?
Now it's on. Get married
and become a citizen. [laughs]
What's up, boss?
So? Did we get the visa?
Are we going on vacation?
Stop joking, we didn't get the visa.
Wow, that consul is a pig!
You get him drunk and everything
and the guy goes
No, man. I'll see how to get revenge.
Let's shut up for now, Elver.
The Domínguezes can't find out about this.
No, it's all good, but how will you do it?
Without a visa,
how will you sign the contract?
I don't know!
But everything I need in this life
is at that agency, Elver.
I won't be left out as a partner. Never!
Sir.
[dramatic music]
-Where are we going?
-To the agency.
What are we doing there?
But let's stop on 82nd first
to buy some things.
As you wish, sir.
[honking]
[indistinct chatter]
[Edgar] Good morning.
[intriguing music]
[sensual music]
[man] We'll keep in touch.
Good morning! How are you? How's it going?
Hi, Laurita. [chuckles]
How are you, Laurita?
Hi. [kisses]
How's everything going? How are you?
-Partner!
-Edgar.
-How are you?
-Fine, thanks.
-How's everything?
-Fine.
I got some things to celebrate.
I'm guessing you'll want to eat
or drink something.
I brought champagne.
-There's food for everybody!
-[models cheer]
Thanks.
Um, Óscar!
Please take that.
[whimsical music]
What's up?
Would you believe me
if I told you I stayed up late
gathering ideas for our agency?
That's great!
I love the innovative spirit. Anyway,
we're still waiting on the paperwork.
The paperwork is ready.
I can get it if you want.
It's in the office.
I'll give it to you now
so you're at ease, whatever you want.
No. Don't worry. Relax.
Are you sure?
[in English] Okay, perfect.
[in Spanish] I want to dive
into this right now.
I want to know from the beginning
how we created this business.
Of course.
Um, Elenita.
This info here. I don't know about
-the photos
-Right.
for
for this model.
[Elenita] Yes.
Oh, I'm starving!
Give me that change to buy something.
What do you mean? That's for the bus.
Oh!
Let's wait and see if we can get
any of the stuff that man brought.
Take it easy. Okay?
Hey, we'll never do the casting
at this pace.
You know what? Wait here.
I'll go in and find out.
I'll be right back.
-[Elenita] Height?
-1.79.
[Nayibe] I'm sorry,
I need to ask a question.
-[Elenita] Phone number?
-436-7520.
Hello, I'm sorry, just a question.
Does this computer here work?
Yes.
I have a suggestion.
I think you should make a form
to give it out to the girls
because at this pace,
by the time
they're at the front of the line,
these girls will be famished.
Yes. We thought about it.
But we can only print one or two pages,
and look how many there are.
That's not a big deal. We create the form,
print it, and make copies.
May I? I can help. Yes?
-Okay, thank you. Name?
-All right.
[Shaio] One second,
I'll be right with you. I'm coming.
Elenita, please. These
-I think I just got these.
-[Elenita] Okay.
-[Nayibe] Hello.
-Hello.
I'm sorry for bothering you.
The nerve of me. I came here to help her.
-Elenita.
-Elenita, yes. Nice to meet you.
Nayibe Sepúlveda.
Model representative. How are you?
-Good. I'm Shaio Domínguez.
-You don't need an introduction!
You're famous.
-No
-You're a badass.
I'm waiting in line with my daughter
thanks to you.
Would you actually mind
if I help you here to speed things up
and make it more efficient?
-No.
-No.
We need to speed up
collecting the girls' information.
With this, you can go there
and meet them personally.
And do what you have to do.
Well, that sounds perfect.
I'm sorry, we're so busy.
We didn't think it'd be so many people.
Don't be sorry. No, ma'am.
Don't even mention it.
Plus, if we end up
working together eventually,
who knows, it's best if we start
getting to know each other now, right?
-Thanks What was your name?
-Nayibe.
Nayibe. All right. Welcome.
You're in Elenita's hands
to help us in any way you can.
With that initiative,
consider yourself hired.
[Nayibe] Go and do what you have to do,
go ahead, keep going
-I'll work with Elenita here.
-Thanks.
[upbeat music]
Now, Elver, explain this to me.
We get flowers, champagne,
we get mariachis,
I did the launch at the Blue Cat,
I'm the agency's financial partner,
and they won't look at me!
But one of these women comes along,
and in no time
she starts running the show?
Shaio is showing her favoritism,
what's the deal?
What's the deal?
Kelly!
Kelly!
-Kelly, wait! Please.
-What do you want?
-Why are you mad?
-You didn't let me buy bread.
And now you're spending
the money on photocopies.
Okay, first of all,
this lady will get us out of trouble.
And if what we want
is to slowly be part of this agency,
we have to sacrifice something.
-Our stomachs!
-Secondly, I mean, tell me.
How am I going to tell her
that I don't have money
to make photocopies?
Do you think they'll hire
desperate people?
[scoffs]
Here, make these photocopies quickly,
okay?
And don't worry.
We'll figure out the food
and how to get home.
Go, I'll take care of it. Go.
[soft music]
Miss! [whistles]
Can I have a minute, please?
How are you? Nice to meet you.
Edgar Trejos, I'm a partner at the agency.
[suspenseful music]
I wanted to say that the girl
who was with you is spectacular.
Thank you so much, yes. My pleasure.
I'm Nayibe, Kelly's mom,
the agency's next top model.
That's if you can organize yourselves,
right?
Well, I've seen people who do great,
but one can't tell why. And they
No, I get it. It's normal, you see.
It's only the beginning
so it's a little bit messy.
But I have to tell you,
we can do great things with a woman
as beautiful as your daughter.
I have a proposal.
I don't know if it'll interest you.
No, tell me. I'm open.
I'm an open-minded woman now.
Actually, I'm a woman
with an entrepreneurial mindset.
How about you finish the casting
and then I invite you for a coffee?
I have a furniture store nearby.
Oh, of course. Whatever you say.
-Okay.
-I'll see you soon.
-Yes. Go ahead.
-Yes.
[Shaio] Well
There's the phone, address, everything.
We just arrived,
this is my neighbor's number,
he's a close friend.
As soon as you call us, he'll let us know.
Okay, fine.
You're super photogenic, really.
Thank you.
I had actually sent the photos
a while ago.
Yes, but that's in the past, honey.
Being here now is what matters.
Ready for the casting call.
So just call us
and let us know about the hair,
whether to change it,
or her looks, whatever it is.
We'll come
and do the casting professionally.
Don't worry, I will be calling.
You're gorgeous.
-Thank you. Mom
-Thank you so much.
-Let's get some empanadas.
-Excuse me, goodbye.
Thanks.
[uplifting music]
-She's gorgeous.
-Very pretty.
Yes, although she had a bit
of a sad look, you know?
-Hey, Shaio.
-What's up?
Are you hiring that lady
who broke in like that?
Anybody who can help me fix a problem now
will get hired.
You always know everything,
why don't you tell me what we're missing?
-Oh, sure, I was
-Excuse me, phone call.
-Thanks, Elenita.
-Excuse me.
-Hello.
-[Berny] Good afternoon.
I'm calling to see
if you also do casting for men.
[emotional music]
Oh, Berny. I'm not up for jokes.
I have around 50 women waiting outside.
Don't hang up, I'm actually calling you
to introduce you to a spectacular model.
How is that? Are you dating a model?
No, honey, I'm talking business.
I understand that your dad
doesn't want us to get married,
but he didn't mention
doing business, right?
Well, no, of course not.
Should I bring her tomorrow?
Well, sure. Tomorrow is fine.
All right, done deal.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Why didn't you let me tell them
that it was me who sent the photos
and was calling them?
Because they can ask questions
and it's better they don't.
All right, we're here,
you're going to do the casting.
That's what matters.
Hi. Should we go get that coffee?
Yes, let's go.
[suspenseful music]
-[Nayibe] Thanks.
-Hi.
Ready?
Follow them!
[car engine starts]
[truck honks]
How did Hollman end up at the agency
where Kelly was doing the casting?
Like everyone else.
He knew Kelly was obsessed
with becoming a famous model.
So she had to be there.
He started listening
to the radio and watching TV.
[horns honking]
[man] Neighbor.
[Shaio] And that's why we're calling
all women who want to participate
and feel and believe
they have the potential
to be the new face of this campaign.
We'll be holding the casting call
this Friday at the Klass headquarters,
and all you need to bring
are your photographs
and a great attitude. [laughs]
Jot the address down.
[suspenseful music]
As soon as he realized she had climbed
into Edgar's armored SUV with a chauffeur,
he imagined the worst.
His wife had a rich boyfriend
and that's why she shot him.
He would've killed him
out of jealousy.
Shit! This thing is out of batteries.
I have to get to Bogotá
and hide, otherwise Kelly will find me
and kill me.
-[truck honks]
-Pass him. Now! Come on!
Oh! That old thing won't let us pass.
[honking]
Hey, Colonel, does this car
have a siren or something?
Óscar can't get away again.
It doesn't have a siren.
I have to wait for the clear stretch
to pass, but relax.
This highway takes everybody
to the same place.
He's not driving, he can't swerve.
All right, but move it,
step on the gas, do something!
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
[comical music]
Hey! Where do you think you're going?
I bring you here and you steal that?
Who let you put on that costume?
Oh, man, I'm sorry.
I'm not a thief, no way.
I'm being followed,
they're trying to screw me over.
How much is it? I'll pay.
Who's following you?
Batman or Wonder Woman?
-You're kidding! No.
-I'm serious!
-They'll screw me if I'm recognized.
-So? Ready to film?
Luckily, you brought a clown.
One didn't make it.
Oh, no. I'm not here for that, no way.
I'll get changed, give this back,
and head to Bogotá.
[man] No, why?
Hey, man. I've already incurred expenses.
You have to chip in.
Have you heard of the show
Fix That Pothole?
Fix That Pothole?
Is it the show that goes around
and celebrates
the city's pothole birthdays?
[mockingly] The one that goes,
"The pothole!
Here, honey, today we've brought you
the Chayanne from Suba to help us
measure the pothole and celebrate
another one of these holes."
No way.
That show is well-known,
everybody watches it. I can't be on it.
-What?
-Well
That show has its thing, sure.
I like the community work,
but I'm not cut out to be a clown.
Kids hate me and I'm in a rush.
Listen, man. Let me be clear.
You either chip in
or I'll call the police for stealing.
-Up to you.
-[man] You'll have to.
-Help me out.
-[scoffs]
[Kelly] Stop. I'll get out here.
-I'll be right back, okay?
-Go.
[TV host] We have a very special guest!
-What's your name?
-Jairo.
Yes, Jairo! Welcome, Jairo!
This huge pothole, how long
has it been in this neighborhood?
-Too many years.
-Too many years!
[cheering]
[TV host] Let's celebrate the birthday
of the pothole!
Jairito!
[TV host] Celebrate, let's wait to fix it!
Oh! What's wrong?
[whistles and party horns blowing]
[suspenseful music]
[Óscar] Okay, let's get crazy!
It's a party!
[TV host] Our friends are here.
Welcome, pothole fixers!
[mariachi music plays]
[TV host] Welcome to the Apollo 11
to fix another pothole,
ladies and gentlemen.
How wide was the pothole?
[Jairo] It's super big.
-How many potholes have you fixed?
-[man] Many.
[TV host] Now we're all here
fixing potholes.
The pothole! The pothole!
That's right, sir!
-What happened?
-Let's go. He probably went to Bogotá.
He'll have to stop at home
to pick up his things. Let's go!
I already told you I live here.
Check the list of residents
and you'll see me, Óscar Lorduy.
Where's Ramiro, the guard who worked here?
Man, do you think I'm stupid?
If you're not a clown, you're a drunk.
No, I'm not drunk. Why would you say that?
-If you're a clown, go ahead.
-With what?
With being a clown and not a drunk.
Come on, let me in, please!
Look, friend, I'll give you one chance.
If you make me laugh,
I'll believe you're a clown.
Otherwise, please excuse me
and let me keep working.
I'm charging you here.
Come on, don't be like that.
Look, man, if you're a clown,
that Beetle that just arrived is mine.
You know what? Excuse me,
my driver got it for me, okay?
-[Juanita screams]
-Juanita, calm down!
Hey! It's me, Óscar! Stop!
-Oh, Óscar.
-Yes.
You scared me to death.
Why? What are you doing here?
Weren't you abroad?
I'll tell you later. Drive.
Oh my God. I forgot you were my neighbor.
-Where were you? Why do you smell so bad?
-I told you, I'll tell you later.
[Óscar] He would've killed him
out of jealousy.
He followed her to Edgar's store,
and contrary to what I would've done,
he didn't kill her
or confront her for shooting him.
No. The guy stayed
[Óscar] Oof, what a difference.
So Hollman didn't go into the store?
-That's not how it happened.
-Did you go through my suitcase?
I only connected the camera
like you asked me to.
-And I started to look at it
-Don't be so nosy. Show me!
Why did you record all this?
I wrote a book
about what went down at the agency.
I don't know if it'll be published.
If it's not, technology will allow me
to upload this to the net.
And if something happens to me,
everyone will know what happened for sure.
Hey! Cover yourself!
Why? Who's looking at me?
[whimsical music]
Well, I am.
You looking at me is nothing.
-Here.
-What?
Here.
What?
If you think I'm the same person
everyone laughed at
Juanita, are you serious? Juanita!
Hey, don't leave me here in my boxers.
Juanita! Seriously? [scoffs]
Forgive me, okay?
Look, this is all because of my anxiety.
But when the book is published,
you'll see I don't think that way
about you. Open up!
[suspenseful music]
Juanita!
That's not what it says here.
Your book won't get published.
What? What do you know?
I know a lot of things.
I never gave my consent
to put my name or my story in your book.
I prohibited them from publishing it.
Prohibited? Why?
You can't do that, you don't own it.
I can.
Listen, that book isn't about you.
It's about the Domínguezes, the agency,
Edgar, Kelly,
and all that actually happened.
It's about your version of things.
Is there a different one?
You weren't there.
I saw plenty.
Oh, really? What did you see?
What?
What?
I had a close relationship
with Edgar's partner.
-With Elver.
-With Elver?
[Óscar laughs]
But when?
We all knew you were foolishly
in love with Nico.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Did you really get it on
with Edgar's bodyguard?
-You need to love yourself.
-Don't talk to me like that.
And don't talk about Elver like that.
He's way more than that. Hmm?
[emotional music]
And if you want to hear the whole story
-Come in.
-Finally.
But you have to be respectful.
I'm not the one who everyone
used to ignore anymore.
-Is that clear?
-Mm-hmm.
Okay, get dressed.
Yes, ma'am.
-Tell me, what do you know?
-Okay.
When Kelly and her mom
went into the store,
they had to shut their mouths,
they were drooling so much.
Yes, Hollman went to the store,
but he didn't dare go in.
No, that's not what happened.
[intriguing music]
[Edgar] Okay, here we are.
[Hollman] Stop right here. Stop.
-[Nayibe] Oh, thanks.
-Go on, please.
So sorry, thank you.
Wow, this is nice, no?
[Edgar] Welcome, come in.

THE POWER OF BEAUTY
"THIS STORY IS A WORK OF FICTION,
BASED ON AND INSPIRED
BY REAL-LIFE EVENTS."
[Pedro] The stars have finally aligned
to brighten up this city.
A magical, sophisticated moment,
somewhat European, a little New York,
-that took place in Bogotá.
-The news.
Beautiful women, bodies dancing as one.
Elegance, class, sophistication.
[José] Good day.
[Pedro] A moment engraved by Shaio,
Laura, and Moni Domínguez,
three women who returned to succeed.
Yes, to shine bright with beauty,
their beauty, and that of the most
beautiful women in the world,
-heating up the cold Bogotá nights.
-[squeals]
Everyone's raving
about what we did last night!
I can't believe it.
We knocked it out of the park!
-We're the best!
-The best!
[Shaio] "Just like Studio 54 in New York,
all the celebrity guests got to dance
at an unforgettable party."
[squeals] I can't believe it.
-[Paulina] Great.
-[Shaio] Unbelievable.
What about Kelly, Nayibe, and Hollman?
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
They couldn't sleep at all
since they got to Bogotá.
Especially Kelly, her head still spinning
from the fact that she had killed
her husband.
VALENCIA'S CORNER STORE
Kelly, are you scared
they'll look for you?
That they'll look into
what happened to him?
No, nobody saw me with him.
I didn't leave a trace.
He's the only one who could talk,
actually, and he's dead.
Aren't you going to claim what's yours?
You were the wife, Kelly.
You put up with that pig for years.
There must be something.
Vane, all I want to do
is pick up where I left off.
Hollman wanted to ruin me,
he wanted me pregnant so I wouldn't model.
-And that's why
-I shot him because he kidnapped me.
If I didn't sleep with him,
he would've raped me, get it?
No one can mess with me
or blame me for anything
if all I did was defend myself.
But you got away, Kelly.
Who will believe you now?
What are you talking about?
What's your problem?
Do you want me to be screwed?
-No, take it easy.
-[intriguing music]
I'm on your side.
I want you to be well.
I want us to be well.
I want you to become a model
and I want to study.
I won't ever tell anyone
what you did, I swear.
[Ángelo] All right. You better.
Let's raise the bar, no?
-[man] Hey!
-[Berny chuckles]
[man] See you.
[Berny] Hey! Oof!
Excellent.
So? Patios or Subachoque tomorrow?
I'd go with Patios
with those skinny wheels of yours.
Hang on.
I don't think I can go tomorrow.
I'll let you know later, man.
Okay, but eat your veggies.
I had to wait for you today.
You're the main car, dude.
I'm the caboose.
I like to ride my bike,
you like to tailgate.
-I'll see you, kid.
-Take care.
-Bye.
-All good, man.
[door opens]
-[Ángelo] Good morning.
-[both] Good morning.
-Did you get some rest?
-Yes.
-Good morning.
-Good. Hi, Nayibe.
Breakfast, anybody? I have warm bread.
There's coffee, eggs, and cheese.
That sounds good, Ángelo.
That's so nice of you.
-I'll be there after I get decent.
-Tell your sister.
No, my sister isn't really
a breakfast person.
[Ángelo] How come?
Even stress makes her gain weight.
She's trying to cut back on everything.
-Ángelo! Good morning.
-[Ángelo] Hi.
-I heard you say breakfast.
-[Ángelo] Yes.
-Great. I'm down.
-There's enough for everyone.
Wait. Girls, I need a word with you.
All of you. Come on now.
[suspenseful tone]
Before any breakfast,
even before going out,
we have to agree.
Agree on what?
[Nayibe] On the version of our lives.
What we'll tell people.
What happened to Kelly is serious
and people could ask.
Ask what?
In Bogotá, people don't even know
of Hollman's existence.
It doesn't matter.
In any case,
four women arriving in a new city alone,
who leave everything behind so easily,
that's not normal.
Even if we left it all behind,
it doesn't mean people
will call us fugitives.
Right. In any case,
people will ask lots of questions.
We have to agree on a version.
What are we going to say?
-The truth, honey.
-The truth? Yeah, right.
Easy for you and Vanessa to say.
But what about Kelly, huh?
If they ask if she's married or not,
what will she say?
That I'm a widow.
What? Why would you say that?
Are you crazy?
No, ma'am.
Saying you're a widow is like carrying
a gray cloud over your head.
It makes you ten years older.
On top of that,
it gives people the chance to ask her
how her husband died.
What will you say? Tell us.
What do you want me to say?
You can just say
you had a great love who is gone.
And say it with a heavy heart, affected.
People will stop asking then. Trust me.
All right, let's have some breakfast.
No, ma'am! This can't be rushed.
They can still ask
more uncomfortable questions.
Like what, Auntie? You're scaring me.
We don't know if they'll investigate
the Hollman situation someday.
We need to agree
on what we're going to say.
So let's say this.
We all came here with Kelly
for her casting call.
While we were here,
we received a call about
how her partner was attacked and died.
So she got depressed and bedridden.
That's why we didn't go
to the funeral or anything.
And we decided to stay here.
Oh, Mom, I told you already.
I don't think anybody is coming here.
It doesn't matter, honey.
Nevertheless,
four people with four different stories,
that raises suspicions.
The other thing is,
we need to behave with decorum,
with moderation.
We can't be snooping around,
acting crazy, or elated.
We don't want them to say later
that when we got here,
it looked like we were celebrating.
We're mourning, ladies. We are mourning.
Hmm? Is that clear?
If someone asks you
an uncomfortable question,
look at me and I'll respond.
Can we have breakfast now? I'm starving!
What I need is a radio.
Last night was the agency's launch.
I want to know what's next.
I'll get dressed.
[suspenseful music]
What if you find her?
Are you going to pop her,
like she deserves?
She treated you like a fool
and left you behind
for the vultures to pick at you.
[laughs] Now that's cold-blooded.
If I were you,
I'd find her and make her pay,
with tears of blood.
Don't worry, I got her a welcoming party.
I need to find a place to stay.
You can stay
with my sister-in-law for a bit.
What about your job?
Don't you have to go back?
No.
Yes, but I asked them for a break.
I have three months.
What if she calls you there?
What if she finds out you're alive?
She won't call, man.
She doesn't know anyone there.
She only knows you,
that's why she called you.
I'd pay anything to see her face
when she realizes
that you're alive and kicking.
That's going to be nice!
-[car rattles]
-Ow! Son of a
[moans]
-[radio static]
-[M Radio jingle plays]
[Pedro] A promise is a promise.
With us, the women of the hour.
They've lit up the gloomy Bogotá nights.
Okay, but before anything else,
I'd like to recall an interview.
One that I conducted myself
with Shaio Domínguez a few years ago.
Let's review it, sir.
Please, humiliate me.
[Pedro] What's next?
[Shaio] I'm going to set up an agency
to take Colombian beauty
-to the best fashion runways
-[whispers] Right.
around the world.
[Pedro] Are you suggesting
turning Colombian models
into the next Claudia Schiffer,
Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford?
[Shaio] Why not?
Well, years later,
with a degree under her belt
and all her promises fulfilled,
we have the privilege
of having Shaio Domínguez
and her agency Klass 95 back again.
Here she is, Shaio, gorgeous as always.
And I also have here, very close to me,
her spectacular partners.
-Thanks, Pedro.
-Thanks, Pedro.
[Laura] Thanks so much.
Okay,
let's talk about this amazing launch.
It's really good news
for all the beautiful women
who want to become models.
-Right, Shaio?
-A total success, Pedro.
But I feel that beyond the celebration,
the most important thing we achieved
were all the doors
that opened for the agency.
-Totally.
-The contacts we made.
I heard that you received
quite a few interesting offers.
Does it ring a bell, perhaps,
one of them being a campaign
with an important
multinational corporation?
Can we mention it or is it still a secret?
We can. In fact,
it's one of the reasons we're here today.
A close friend of the family
invited us to participate
in a super important campaign
that he's organizing.
Believe me,
it's the most impressive soap campaign
in recent memory.
It's on a silver platter for you.
There's a challenge for Klass 95
to prove that it's the hot thing now.
Hold on. A silver platter, Koke?
You're so demanding when choosing models.
Rather, tell me exactly
what you're looking for, please.
Easy, I want a female icon.
The type of woman
that you can't get out of your head.
I want women to want to lather that soap
all over their bodies.
And for men to eat it up.
-I mean, the soap.
-[chuckles] Of course.
-Hi, Koke, how are you?
-How are you?
-Fine, and you?
-Very well.
Do you remember
I was going to introduce you to a model
for the campaign?
-[Koke] Yes.
-Bárbara.
-She's divine.
-Her name is Bárbara.
[Koke] But we're not casting,
we're celebrating.
You're the only ones I invited
to the campaign, so you'll be competing.
I'll see how you impress me, okay?
Shall we dance?
Excuse me.
All right. The competition is welcome.
Competition is when two titans face off.
I don't [chuckles]
I don't see another one here.
Oh, sweetheart. This is just a formality.
We'll each present our thing,
and then Koke will know.
He'll choose me. Experience.
Hmm and modesty.
I hate that word,
it's the refuge of the ugly and mediocre.
Experience can't be improvised, you know?
When there's no competition,
it's not experience, it's luck.
Luck won't last forever.
[tense musical sting]
Enjoy the party and learn.
A double whiskey.
An institution
in the fashion world in Bogotá.
A very tough nut to crack, Shaio.
Come on, tell me.
What's going to be
the strategy to beat them?
Well, not wasting time, Pedro.
With your help and our eye,
we will find the new face of Klass 95.
What does that new face look like, Laura?
She's a woman between 17 and 22,
more or less.
An authentic, fresh, natural woman.
Colombian, of course.
That's what sets us apart
from Grosso Models.
We do believe in Colombian beauty.
-Totally.
-I've got an eye for that. I proved it.
And it's finely tuned
to find that star for the next campaign.
Because that's what she'll be, Pedro.
A new star.
-[indistinct chatter]
-[glass clinks]
[Pedro] Let's pretend that,
I don't know, I'm a model.
-Shush!
-[Pedro] What do I have to do?
Shush! Hey, I can't hear!
[Nayibe] What?
[Shaio] She can bring a portfolio
or any photographic record.
Stop by the Klass 95 offices
and we'll do the casting.
Listen, the most important thing
is to have a good attitude.
This campaign is our baby.
Oh, no! Why wouldn't they say
where Klass 95 is located?
How am I going to get there?
Relax, honey. Don't worry,
Ángelo must know where that is.
-Ángelo, you'll help her find it, right?
-[Ángelo] Of course.
Why would you do that? It's embarrassing.
His shop keeps him very busy.
I'll take you. I also know Bogotá.
Why don't you get yourself
some nice fabric?
Kelly can show up
to the casting call looking good.
I have some fabric at the shop.
Not much, but I always try to get
the latest in fashion.
Well, what you see in magazines.
Oh, you must have good taste.
Sure. We'll take a look at the fabric
after breakfast.
Okay, and if you don't like them,
we can go to La Alquería quarter,
that's where all
the wholesale suppliers are.
You can find anything there.
If it's not at La Alquería,
it doesn't exist.
And if you want, I can come with you.
-Of course. Happily.
-[soft music]
Well, with a tour guide like you
who understands the job.
[laughs] It'll be great!
This is wonderful. I'd love to.
-Enough talking. Let's go to La Alquería.
-That's it.
I'm going to the university
to find out about registration.
-Mom?
-[Giselle] Yes.
Can you help me find transportation?
Of course. I'll take a shower
and I'll see you at the shop
and show you how to get there.
All right. Excuse me, everybody.
-Ángelo, wait.
-What is it?
-I wanted to thank you.
-What for?
We are going through
an extreme mourning period.
And to get unconditional support
from someone like you
feels very good.
Are you a widow? You, Nayibe?
Oh, no. No, I'm single.
-More single than ever.
-[intriguing music]
Was this recent?
[Nayibe] Well, sort of.
Honestly, we try not to talk
to her about it too much
because it's so recent.
Right.
We made the choice
of never talking about it again.
That makes sense.
She needs to get better
and feel better, right?
-Yes.
-Well, please excuse me, Nayibe.
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
I'm in a rough spot.
[panting]
[bus approaches]
Sir!
-Hey! Sir.
-[man] What's the matter?
-Can you give me a lift?
-Where are you going?
Bogotá.
-Get in, quickly!
-Thanks.
Go!
Hello? Hello, can you hear me?
[suspenseful music]
Yes. Pick me up on the main road,
I found him.
Hurry, he can't get away.
No doubt, that night was a success
for the Domínguezes.
For Edgar, it was a home run.
That night, he achieved
what he never had before.
I have everything ready,
the visa, paperwork, and appointment.
I could use one little favor.
I hope it's not a problem.
Please. Sure thing.
I'd like to get there
and say that the consul is my friend.
No. You're not my friend.
[in English] You're my brother.
[in Spanish] My brother.
[thick accent] Listen, just ask for me
and we'll be waiting for you
with open doors.
-Are you sure?
-Thanks.
-Of course.
-Thanks.
Edgar made sure to leave evidence
so that no one could deny it.
[camera shutter clicks]
He was one of them. The partner.
The bar owner. The tough guy.
[intriguing music]
His plan to infiltrate the lives
of the Domínguezes and the agency
was one step away.
A day later, at five in the morning,
people were lining up for the dream.
Just say what I told you.
You don't know anybody
and you're on vacation.
You're not staying by any means
because you miss your mom.
Gringos are stupid, don't forget.
[woman] You're definitely
getting the visa.
You're the top student.
Yes, from a second-rate school.
Please, don't say that you got expelled
from the previous school
for smoking those nasty things.
-Again, Mom?
-[scoffs]
Don't worry, boss. Don't put that face on.
How could they not give you the visa
with such a great look?
Also, who's going to think
that we retire people six feet under?
Shut up! Don't say stupid shit, Elver.
These guys have cameras everywhere.
[intriguing music]
I'll get breakfast at the hotel here.
When there are
three people ahead of you,
page me and I'll come over.
What? Where from? My satellite phone?
Don't be stupid. That street vendor.
You ask the kid to go to the booth,
page me, and I'll come.
Just pass me a dead president.
You're always broke.
[Óscar] Not even Bill Gates
has ever invented a communication system
as effective
as the Colombian street vendor.
Quick, cheap, accurate.
It was the true beginning
of the local internet.
But not only at that embassy
were people lining up for a dream.
At Klass 95's offices, dozens of women
were waiting for that passport to beauty
hoping it would change their lives.
[upbeat music]
If they ask you for your measurements,
what will you say?
-60, 90, 60?
-No! Say, "90, 60, 90."
"90, 60, 90."
It's true, the order of factors
doesn't affect the product,
but you're divine, go ahead.
Check who the guy is deciding the casting,
and we'll go all in.
-How do you know it's a guy?
-Come on, it's always a guy who decides.
If there are nice chicks,
it's always a guy, you hear?
Just wait, I'll find him and court him.
-As usual, a sexy liar. Bye.
-[woman laughs]
Hey, what's up with her?
She's cutting the line!
REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA
So, what did my friend the consul say?
Did you give him my regards?
I would've loved to see him.
Too bad he didn't show.
Does he still have a hangover?
We partied pretty hard.
Yes. We drank like Vikings.
And the women, it was crazy!
-The consul sends his regards.
-[in English] Perfect, my friend.
[in Spanish] He told me to tell you this
[tense music]
[in English] Next!
-Huh?
-Nice, kid!
Multiple entries for five years.
How about that?
Now it's on. Get married
and become a citizen. [laughs]
What's up, boss?
So? Did we get the visa?
Are we going on vacation?
Stop joking, we didn't get the visa.
Wow, that consul is a pig!
You get him drunk and everything
and the guy goes
No, man. I'll see how to get revenge.
Let's shut up for now, Elver.
The Domínguezes can't find out about this.
No, it's all good, but how will you do it?
Without a visa,
how will you sign the contract?
I don't know!
But everything I need in this life
is at that agency, Elver.
I won't be left out as a partner. Never!
Sir.
[dramatic music]
-Where are we going?
-To the agency.
What are we doing there?
But let's stop on 82nd first
to buy some things.
As you wish, sir.
[honking]
[indistinct chatter]
[Edgar] Good morning.
[intriguing music]
[sensual music]
[man] We'll keep in touch.
Good morning! How are you? How's it going?
Hi, Laurita. [chuckles]
How are you, Laurita?
Hi. [kisses]
How's everything going? How are you?
-Partner!
-Edgar.
-How are you?
-Fine, thanks.
-How's everything?
-Fine.
I got some things to celebrate.
I'm guessing you'll want to eat
or drink something.
I brought champagne.
-There's food for everybody!
-[models cheer]
Thanks.
Um, Óscar!
Please take that.
[whimsical music]
What's up?
Would you believe me
if I told you I stayed up late
gathering ideas for our agency?
That's great!
I love the innovative spirit. Anyway,
we're still waiting on the paperwork.
The paperwork is ready.
I can get it if you want.
It's in the office.
I'll give it to you now
so you're at ease, whatever you want.
No. Don't worry. Relax.
Are you sure?
[in English] Okay, perfect.
[in Spanish] I want to dive
into this right now.
I want to know from the beginning
how we created this business.
Of course.
Um, Elenita.
This info here. I don't know about
-the photos
-Right.
for
for this model.
[Elenita] Yes.
Oh, I'm starving!
Give me that change to buy something.
What do you mean? That's for the bus.
Oh!
Let's wait and see if we can get
any of the stuff that man brought.
Take it easy. Okay?
Hey, we'll never do the casting
at this pace.
You know what? Wait here.
I'll go in and find out.
I'll be right back.
-[Elenita] Height?
-1.79.
[Nayibe] I'm sorry,
I need to ask a question.
-[Elenita] Phone number?
-436-7520.
Hello, I'm sorry, just a question.
Does this computer here work?
Yes.
I have a suggestion.
I think you should make a form
to give it out to the girls
because at this pace,
by the time
they're at the front of the line,
these girls will be famished.
Yes. We thought about it.
But we can only print one or two pages,
and look how many there are.
That's not a big deal. We create the form,
print it, and make copies.
May I? I can help. Yes?
-Okay, thank you. Name?
-All right.
[Shaio] One second,
I'll be right with you. I'm coming.
Elenita, please. These
-I think I just got these.
-[Elenita] Okay.
-[Nayibe] Hello.
-Hello.
I'm sorry for bothering you.
The nerve of me. I came here to help her.
-Elenita.
-Elenita, yes. Nice to meet you.
Nayibe Sepúlveda.
Model representative. How are you?
-Good. I'm Shaio Domínguez.
-You don't need an introduction!
You're famous.
-No
-You're a badass.
I'm waiting in line with my daughter
thanks to you.
Would you actually mind
if I help you here to speed things up
and make it more efficient?
-No.
-No.
We need to speed up
collecting the girls' information.
With this, you can go there
and meet them personally.
And do what you have to do.
Well, that sounds perfect.
I'm sorry, we're so busy.
We didn't think it'd be so many people.
Don't be sorry. No, ma'am.
Don't even mention it.
Plus, if we end up
working together eventually,
who knows, it's best if we start
getting to know each other now, right?
-Thanks What was your name?
-Nayibe.
Nayibe. All right. Welcome.
You're in Elenita's hands
to help us in any way you can.
With that initiative,
consider yourself hired.
[Nayibe] Go and do what you have to do,
go ahead, keep going
-I'll work with Elenita here.
-Thanks.
[upbeat music]
Now, Elver, explain this to me.
We get flowers, champagne,
we get mariachis,
I did the launch at the Blue Cat,
I'm the agency's financial partner,
and they won't look at me!
But one of these women comes along,
and in no time
she starts running the show?
Shaio is showing her favoritism,
what's the deal?
What's the deal?
Kelly!
Kelly!
-Kelly, wait! Please.
-What do you want?
-Why are you mad?
-You didn't let me buy bread.
And now you're spending
the money on photocopies.
Okay, first of all,
this lady will get us out of trouble.
And if what we want
is to slowly be part of this agency,
we have to sacrifice something.
-Our stomachs!
-Secondly, I mean, tell me.
How am I going to tell her
that I don't have money
to make photocopies?
Do you think they'll hire
desperate people?
[scoffs]
Here, make these photocopies quickly,
okay?
And don't worry.
We'll figure out the food
and how to get home.
Go, I'll take care of it. Go.
[soft music]
Miss! [whistles]
Can I have a minute, please?
How are you? Nice to meet you.
Edgar Trejos, I'm a partner at the agency.
[suspenseful music]
I wanted to say that the girl
who was with you is spectacular.
Thank you so much, yes. My pleasure.
I'm Nayibe, Kelly's mom,
the agency's next top model.
That's if you can organize yourselves,
right?
Well, I've seen people who do great,
but one can't tell why. And they
No, I get it. It's normal, you see.
It's only the beginning
so it's a little bit messy.
But I have to tell you,
we can do great things with a woman
as beautiful as your daughter.
I have a proposal.
I don't know if it'll interest you.
No, tell me. I'm open.
I'm an open-minded woman now.
Actually, I'm a woman
with an entrepreneurial mindset.
How about you finish the casting
and then I invite you for a coffee?
I have a furniture store nearby.
Oh, of course. Whatever you say.
-Okay.
-I'll see you soon.
-Yes. Go ahead.
-Yes.
[Shaio] Well
There's the phone, address, everything.
We just arrived,
this is my neighbor's number,
he's a close friend.
As soon as you call us, he'll let us know.
Okay, fine.
You're super photogenic, really.
Thank you.
I had actually sent the photos
a while ago.
Yes, but that's in the past, honey.
Being here now is what matters.
Ready for the casting call.
So just call us
and let us know about the hair,
whether to change it,
or her looks, whatever it is.
We'll come
and do the casting professionally.
Don't worry, I will be calling.
You're gorgeous.
-Thank you. Mom
-Thank you so much.
-Let's get some empanadas.
-Excuse me, goodbye.
Thanks.
[uplifting music]
-She's gorgeous.
-Very pretty.
Yes, although she had a bit
of a sad look, you know?
-Hey, Shaio.
-What's up?
Are you hiring that lady
who broke in like that?
Anybody who can help me fix a problem now
will get hired.
You always know everything,
why don't you tell me what we're missing?
-Oh, sure, I was
-Excuse me, phone call.
-Thanks, Elenita.
-Excuse me.
-Hello.
-[Berny] Good afternoon.
I'm calling to see
if you also do casting for men.
[emotional music]
Oh, Berny. I'm not up for jokes.
I have around 50 women waiting outside.
Don't hang up, I'm actually calling you
to introduce you to a spectacular model.
How is that? Are you dating a model?
No, honey, I'm talking business.
I understand that your dad
doesn't want us to get married,
but he didn't mention
doing business, right?
Well, no, of course not.
Should I bring her tomorrow?
Well, sure. Tomorrow is fine.
All right, done deal.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Why didn't you let me tell them
that it was me who sent the photos
and was calling them?
Because they can ask questions
and it's better they don't.
All right, we're here,
you're going to do the casting.
That's what matters.
Hi. Should we go get that coffee?
Yes, let's go.
[suspenseful music]
-[Nayibe] Thanks.
-Hi.
Ready?
Follow them!
[car engine starts]
[truck honks]
How did Hollman end up at the agency
where Kelly was doing the casting?
Like everyone else.
He knew Kelly was obsessed
with becoming a famous model.
So she had to be there.
He started listening
to the radio and watching TV.
[horns honking]
[man] Neighbor.
[Shaio] And that's why we're calling
all women who want to participate
and feel and believe
they have the potential
to be the new face of this campaign.
We'll be holding the casting call
this Friday at the Klass headquarters,
and all you need to bring
are your photographs
and a great attitude. [laughs]
Jot the address down.
[suspenseful music]
As soon as he realized she had climbed
into Edgar's armored SUV with a chauffeur,
he imagined the worst.
His wife had a rich boyfriend
and that's why she shot him.
He would've killed him
out of jealousy.
Shit! This thing is out of batteries.
I have to get to Bogotá
and hide, otherwise Kelly will find me
and kill me.
-[truck honks]
-Pass him. Now! Come on!
Oh! That old thing won't let us pass.
[honking]
Hey, Colonel, does this car
have a siren or something?
Óscar can't get away again.
It doesn't have a siren.
I have to wait for the clear stretch
to pass, but relax.
This highway takes everybody
to the same place.
He's not driving, he can't swerve.
All right, but move it,
step on the gas, do something!
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
[comical music]
Hey! Where do you think you're going?
I bring you here and you steal that?
Who let you put on that costume?
Oh, man, I'm sorry.
I'm not a thief, no way.
I'm being followed,
they're trying to screw me over.
How much is it? I'll pay.
Who's following you?
Batman or Wonder Woman?
-You're kidding! No.
-I'm serious!
-They'll screw me if I'm recognized.
-So? Ready to film?
Luckily, you brought a clown.
One didn't make it.
Oh, no. I'm not here for that, no way.
I'll get changed, give this back,
and head to Bogotá.
[man] No, why?
Hey, man. I've already incurred expenses.
You have to chip in.
Have you heard of the show
Fix That Pothole?
Fix That Pothole?
Is it the show that goes around
and celebrates
the city's pothole birthdays?
[mockingly] The one that goes,
"The pothole!
Here, honey, today we've brought you
the Chayanne from Suba to help us
measure the pothole and celebrate
another one of these holes."
No way.
That show is well-known,
everybody watches it. I can't be on it.
-What?
-Well
That show has its thing, sure.
I like the community work,
but I'm not cut out to be a clown.
Kids hate me and I'm in a rush.
Listen, man. Let me be clear.
You either chip in
or I'll call the police for stealing.
-Up to you.
-[man] You'll have to.
-Help me out.
-[scoffs]
[Kelly] Stop. I'll get out here.
-I'll be right back, okay?
-Go.
[TV host] We have a very special guest!
-What's your name?
-Jairo.
Yes, Jairo! Welcome, Jairo!
This huge pothole, how long
has it been in this neighborhood?
-Too many years.
-Too many years!
[cheering]
[TV host] Let's celebrate the birthday
of the pothole!
Jairito!
[TV host] Celebrate, let's wait to fix it!
Oh! What's wrong?
[whistles and party horns blowing]
[suspenseful music]
[Óscar] Okay, let's get crazy!
It's a party!
[TV host] Our friends are here.
Welcome, pothole fixers!
[mariachi music plays]
[TV host] Welcome to the Apollo 11
to fix another pothole,
ladies and gentlemen.
How wide was the pothole?
[Jairo] It's super big.
-How many potholes have you fixed?
-[man] Many.
[TV host] Now we're all here
fixing potholes.
The pothole! The pothole!
That's right, sir!
-What happened?
-Let's go. He probably went to Bogotá.
He'll have to stop at home
to pick up his things. Let's go!
I already told you I live here.
Check the list of residents
and you'll see me, Óscar Lorduy.
Where's Ramiro, the guard who worked here?
Man, do you think I'm stupid?
If you're not a clown, you're a drunk.
No, I'm not drunk. Why would you say that?
-If you're a clown, go ahead.
-With what?
With being a clown and not a drunk.
Come on, let me in, please!
Look, friend, I'll give you one chance.
If you make me laugh,
I'll believe you're a clown.
Otherwise, please excuse me
and let me keep working.
I'm charging you here.
Come on, don't be like that.
Look, man, if you're a clown,
that Beetle that just arrived is mine.
You know what? Excuse me,
my driver got it for me, okay?
-[Juanita screams]
-Juanita, calm down!
Hey! It's me, Óscar! Stop!
-Oh, Óscar.
-Yes.
You scared me to death.
Why? What are you doing here?
Weren't you abroad?
I'll tell you later. Drive.
Oh my God. I forgot you were my neighbor.
-Where were you? Why do you smell so bad?
-I told you, I'll tell you later.
[Óscar] He would've killed him
out of jealousy.
He followed her to Edgar's store,
and contrary to what I would've done,
he didn't kill her
or confront her for shooting him.
No. The guy stayed
[Óscar] Oof, what a difference.
So Hollman didn't go into the store?
-That's not how it happened.
-Did you go through my suitcase?
I only connected the camera
like you asked me to.
-And I started to look at it
-Don't be so nosy. Show me!
Why did you record all this?
I wrote a book
about what went down at the agency.
I don't know if it'll be published.
If it's not, technology will allow me
to upload this to the net.
And if something happens to me,
everyone will know what happened for sure.
Hey! Cover yourself!
Why? Who's looking at me?
[whimsical music]
Well, I am.
You looking at me is nothing.
-Here.
-What?
Here.
What?
If you think I'm the same person
everyone laughed at
Juanita, are you serious? Juanita!
Hey, don't leave me here in my boxers.
Juanita! Seriously? [scoffs]
Forgive me, okay?
Look, this is all because of my anxiety.
But when the book is published,
you'll see I don't think that way
about you. Open up!
[suspenseful music]
Juanita!
That's not what it says here.
Your book won't get published.
What? What do you know?
I know a lot of things.
I never gave my consent
to put my name or my story in your book.
I prohibited them from publishing it.
Prohibited? Why?
You can't do that, you don't own it.
I can.
Listen, that book isn't about you.
It's about the Domínguezes, the agency,
Edgar, Kelly,
and all that actually happened.
It's about your version of things.
Is there a different one?
You weren't there.
I saw plenty.
Oh, really? What did you see?
What?
What?
I had a close relationship
with Edgar's partner.
-With Elver.
-With Elver?
[Óscar laughs]
But when?
We all knew you were foolishly
in love with Nico.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Did you really get it on
with Edgar's bodyguard?
-You need to love yourself.
-Don't talk to me like that.
And don't talk about Elver like that.
He's way more than that. Hmm?
[emotional music]
And if you want to hear the whole story
-Come in.
-Finally.
But you have to be respectful.
I'm not the one who everyone
used to ignore anymore.
-Is that clear?
-Mm-hmm.
Okay, get dressed.
Yes, ma'am.
-Tell me, what do you know?
-Okay.
When Kelly and her mom
went into the store,
they had to shut their mouths,
they were drooling so much.
Yes, Hollman went to the store,
but he didn't dare go in.
No, that's not what happened.
[intriguing music]
[Edgar] Okay, here we are.
[Hollman] Stop right here. Stop.
-[Nayibe] Oh, thanks.
-Go on, please.
So sorry, thank you.
Wow, this is nice, no?
[Edgar] Welcome, come in.
