IN MEMORY OF
ANÍBAL FERNANDO GUTIÉRREZ BONILLA
[Ángela] How are things going
with your dad?
It's all right.
You know, normal.
No one lies.
No one is trying to assassinate me.
[Refugio] I'm sorry. [panting]
I got lost.
If you let me, I'd like to put this on
- Godmother, I don't think
- Leave her alone, Ángela.
I invited her.
We realized it's not worth it
to fight over a dress.
All right, so nobody's gonna say anything?
[clears throat]
Grandpa, well, I never met you,
but knowing my mom very well,
I'm not surprised that
that you would rather be dead than
Rocío!
Sorry, Dad, excuse your granddaughter.
She was born with really bad manners.
- It's genetic, though, Grandpa.
- [Ángela] Don't be rude!
Living with your dad
is no excuse for dissing me.
Hey, knock it off!
We came to see my husband,
your father, your grandpa.
[both] She started it!
[Victoria] Aníbal
Well [chuckles softly]
here we are today, the four women
who figured out how to move on.
And we're together
despite everything that happened.
Okay, so now, can we eat the bread?
Oh, I'm sorry!

[grunting]
- [grunting]
- [Bride in Black] Come here!
[grunts]
[laughs]
- Where are you going?
- [groaning]
Cut it out, Angie! Bride in Black!
[heaves] I'm not twenty-eight anymore.
Bring your intensity down a notch,
we're not like Malena!
Or like Refugio.
Don't even look at me.
I already told Bride in Black
I won't train her
until she tells her family the truth.
Not even if it's the most important match
of her whole life?
Oh, it's so damn hot with the mask on.
Why did you build
the gym upstairs? My God
Because I no longer train anyone
who wanna hide their identity.
Don't even give me that look.
Why continue fighting
when you've already lost Rocío?
Because Bride in Black
is the only way I have left
to stay in touch with my daughter.
Because Rocío loves Bride in Black
as much as she hates Ángela. Hmm?
[panting] Well, uh, we have to
get back to work.
No, no, no, no, no.
Cover for me, please.
- What? Again?
- Yes, please.
All right. See you later!
- See you, coach.
- [exhales]
- Bye.
- You take care, girls!
I could definitely help you
to stop making excuses at work
and make a living just from wrestling.
I'm a scout for the WWE.
We're about to open a branch here to train
future prospects with high potential.
And so, I'm recruiting wrestlers
with great talent like you.
I was told that you're in need of a coach.
I'm too much of a burden
for some trainers.
[Nahual] But not for me.
If you accept
I'll be waiting for you.
Take care.
[giggles]
[Candy] Hey, guys,
what are you doing here?
- We'd agreed to get tacos with Rocío.
- I completely forgot.
- We just have half an hour to eat.
- Perfect. I can eat seven in half an hour.
Chameleon will be waiting for us.
You guys go ahead!
We agreed to have lunch together.
Yes, I know.
But Chameleon is teaching me
a special routine.
I'm gonna tear Bride in Black into pieces.
Only if she lets you.
[Candy] Oh, yeah?
First, I'll get her with a Stillson,
then an inverse twist, then
[mimics cracking]
I'll just break her neck!
Don't believe her, sweetie.
She's just joking.
[chuckles]
Anyway, I can't go to lunch.
- Dad, let's go get tacos.
- Wait a sec for me, sweetie.
Come here, Candy! Now!
Ever since you came back to this gym,
everything is
"Chameleon this, Chameleon that."
- Are you getting back together with him?
- [laughs]
You've missed having someone to flirt
with the stupid idea of success
at any cost, haven't you?
Even if you lose the people who love you.
What really bothers you is
that I have ambition,
and do you know why?
Because you don't know
what that means, Lalo.
You're a mediocre man
with no aspirations in life.
Bye, love.
[upbeat music playing]
Let's go, sweetie!
[Josefina] Show it to us!
[gasps] Wow! It's so nice.
- It's freaking gorgeous.
- [Lucy] Beautiful!
- Let me [gasps]
- Wow [gasps]
What's going on here?
- Just
- What?
- [Mr. Gabriel] What's up?
- Nothing.
What do you mean? Why are you here?
You were keeping that secret
from us, huh? Weren't you?
What secret are you talking about?
About
- [women squeal, laugh]
- Oh!
- Give me that back, please. Come on.
- [whistles]
Yes, of course.
- Hey, look at that.
- [Lucy] Ah! [laughs]
- Give me that right back.
- Not funny at all, I know.
- Give it to me
- Until you give us all the details.
Are you out of your mind
this morning? Okay.
- One, two, three
- [Josefina] Fine. Stop.
- There. Take it back.
- Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Such a killjoy!
- We want all the details.
- Phew!
- Talk, talk, talk.
- Okay.
[inhales deeply]
[women chuckle]
Do you girls think that
I, uh, should ask, you know, Ángela,
for permission first?
- [Lucy groans]
- Of course, not! Not at all!
That's too damn old school.
First of all, you should focus on
making sure that Victoria will say yes.
- And that she doesn't run away.
- You're so mean.
Do you know what you're gonna say?
- Yes, I've written it all down.
- [Betty] Oh, that's so cute.
[sighs]
"I, who fly for your love
like a little bird
[sighs]
I, who was a butterfly
of a thousand flowers"
- I'm hesitating about the butterfly part.
- That's way too boring!
Oh yeah?
Rocío! Have you seen my locket?
I can't find it anywhere.
No. Come on, Grandma,
you know I never mess with your things.
- [tsks]
- [Rocío] Well
almost never.
Come on, Rocío!
Gabriel is about to pick me up.
Ah, so in this case, I better get going.
- [sighs]
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- [chuckles]
I love you, and I also miss you.
Don't miss me, just come more often.
I don't want
to leave my dad alone, Grandma.
He's been having a hard time
since he and Candy broke up.
Don't worry too much, Rocío.
They'll get back together.
- Bye!
- [chuckles] Bye.
[Bride in Black]
Wow, everything is state of the art.
[Alstroemeria] Yeah, and brand new too.
Just picture yourself
rubbing elbows with
all the crème de la crème of the WWE!
[gasps] Oh, hey
- What if among them, you find my Rey?
- I don't know who that is.
- Oh Rey Mysterio.
- [chuckles]
Even better, you'll be on television.
Can you imagine?
I didn't think you were coming.
Me neither, but they convinced me.
[Nahual] I'm glad.
Because this place is going to become
the epicenter of Mexican wrestling.
Only the best of the best!
- Do you consider me to be among the best?
- Not yet. You need more training.
So why did you look for her, mister?
Because if Bride in Black
beats Candy Caramelo,
she'll be able to train directly here
and become a professional wrestler.
What do I have to do?
Today, rest as much as you can.
Because starting tomorrow
you're gonna wish you'd rested more.
[all chuckle]
No, I really need you to focus here.
It's easy. I will give her the ring.
When you see me kiss her on the mouth,
then you bring the champagne.
All right? Okay, fine, fine. Leave now.
Thank you.
- Why were you talking with the waiter?
- He's a friend from childhood.
Well, I'd love to know
which wrinkle cream he uses.
Victoria! What a coincidence!
I'm actually glad you're here.
I needed to talk to you.
Talk about what?
- I'm organizing a ceremony to, uh
- Mm-hmm.
to pay tribute to the iconic, if not
legendary wrestlers from Iztapalapa.
It's gonna take place the very day
of the match
between Candy and Bride in Black.
And Victoria "The Sovereign"
can't miss the event.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I'll never get into a ring again
in my life.
- Don't be such a killjoy, Victoria.
- Mmm.
It will be in a nicer arena,
with more cachet.
Everything will be very cool, I promise!
I don't want to hear anything
about wrestling.
But we want to celebrate you, your legend.
And to remember Black Mist too!
How could we forget
that wrestling love story, you know?
That wasn't
a wrestling love story, you idiot.
My damn husband was a serial cheater,
and he's better off where he is.
The graveyard. Hmm?
[Juan Carlos] I get it!
[both moan]
Mm-hmm?
- [inhales deeply]
- [Gabriel clears throat]
Well, I have to go.
- I'll let you guys be. Enjoy your dinner.
- Uh-huh.
[Juan Carlos] Okay.
[Victoria moaning]
[Petunia] You know this is your house,
however if you don't mind me asking,
how long are you planning to stay?
Well, I mean
After the match, I guess,
I'll figure all that out.
Wouldn't it be easier to just apologize
to your "mediocre" boyfriend?
Ah! Don't judge me. It's the truth.
But there are other ways.
You called him mediocre
in front of his daughter.
You should have called him stupid,
but mediocre?
You have a point.
- Anyway Your bed is ready.
- Mm-hmm.
- There, madame.
- [Candy] Thanks a lot!
You're welcome. [chuckles]
Do you like it?
I probably should apologize
to Lalo, right?
[whimsical music playing]
- I mean, for Rocío's sake.
- [scoffs]
[Mr. Gabriel] And then Victoria got angry
and said she didn't want to hear anything
about wrestling,
but I'm sure that she does.
- I can feel it.
- [Josefina] Mm-hmm.
So I decided to wait a few days
to propose her. The timing was off.
- No.
- Oh!
If only I could
convince her somehow to go.
- It's to celebrate her!
- Mm-hmm.
What if I asked Ángela
to talk to Victoria?
There's only one person
who can convince Victoria
to go to her tribute, Gabriel.
Rocío!
Hmm.
Should I ask her to help me?
[upbeat music playing]
Dad, I'm really worried about you.
I don't like seeing you miserable.
Like an abandoned dog.
I'm sorry for being like this.
What about me?
Rocío, it's not your fault. Hmm?
The only thing I won't forgive you for is
that you just compared me to a dog!
- [growling]
- [laughs, growls]
[both howling, laughing]
- [Lalo growls]
- [laughs]
[gasps]
What's wrong?
[sighs]
[sniffles]
Rocío?
Wait. Come on!
Rocío, what did I say?
[gentle music playing]
[rustling]
[Rocío exhales]
It's me, Rocío.
And where's my dad?
I sent him to run an errand.
I don't know how to use this.
Don't you have something else?
It's the only thing I have, Rocío.
Does it hurt?
Not at all.
Look, you have to open it first like this.
- Hmm?
- Mm-hmm.
- [chuckles]
- Then, you
you have to you have to put it in, uh
in your flower
You meant to say "vagina."
[chuckles]
Okay.
The easiest way is
for you to squat, all right?
- Uh-huh.
- And then put in the tampon like this.
Inhale and exhale,
and that's it.
Okay, I'm gonna try it.
[inhales deeply]
But don't leave, please,
if you don't mind.
I won't move from the door.
Are you really going to cry
over a few drops of blood?
[Ángela chuckles]
I'm just very happy.
Okay.
[breathes deeply]
I brought the brand of the tampons
I'm using right now,
but maybe Rocío wants to try other things.
Please, tell Candy
to help her choose the right one for her.
Yeah. Well, uh
Candy won't probably be around.
We broke up.
I'm sorry, Lalo.
It's all right.
We don't want the same things.
Well, since Candy isn't here,
you gotta go with her to buy her things.
All right.
Ángela!
Do you think
things would've been different
if they hadn't put you in prison?
I don't think so.
I was too stubborn.
But I'm not anymore.
This is a mistake, Lalo.
It doesn't have to be, Ángela.
Rocío needs her mother.
We, actually, both need you.
[upbeat music playing]
[Nahual] In order for you to think
with your body,
you must feel.
If you can get away
before I let go of the rope,
you'll be ready to defeat anyone.
[grunts]
[grunting]
[Nahual] Disconnect your mind
and feel how you're gonna escape
from this hold.
[grunting]
[grunts, groans]
[panting]
Again! [grunts]
- [moans]
- [Nahual grunts]
Again!
[grunting]
[Bride in Black grunting]
[Nahual] Stop thinking.
[Bride in Black] I can't.
My daughter doesn't speak to me
and I'm lost!
[grunts, yells]
[Bride in Black grunts]
[breathing heavily]
[panting]
[breathing heavily]
What are you afraid of, Bride in Black?
I don't want to lose my mask.
I'm nothing without it.
Without it, my daughter doesn't love me.
And that's why you must win.
[breathing shakily]
[Victoria] I'm not that crazy.
I'm never going back in a ring,
not even with a gun to my head.
Ah!
Well, I'm pretty sure you'd happily
go back in a ring to kick my ass.
[smacking lips]
[Victoria laughs]
- [Ángela groaning]
- [Refugio] Hi, sunshine!
What's wrong? What happened to you?
[grunting]
Nothing.
I fell while I was doing inventory.
Hmm.
You should either find another job,
or find another excuse.
That's what happens
for going with that man.
He's going too hard on you.
That man is helping me though,
unlike others.
You can mention "that" man's name, y'know?
My feelings won't get hurt.
It's obvious that my Gabriel
just wants to help Ángela.
And it's not his fault
that she's kind of dumb.
- [laughs]
- That's exactly the problem.
They take advantage of the dumb ones.
Who knows what he wants from you.
With all due respect, Godmother,
since you won't help, get off my back.
Ooh.
[groans]
[Nahual] You're late. You look like crap.
[Bride in Black chuckles]
And you haven't even seen me
without my mask.
When are we going to train for real?
A straitjacket
isn't gonna help me in the ring.
Do you wanna win or not?
["Date Grasa" by MC Peligro playing]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[grunts]
[Nahual grunting]
[screams]
[grunts]
[grunting]
["Date Grasa" continues playing]
[grunts]
This is stupid!
I bet you're not even a real coach!
[breathing heavily]
Where you going?
To train like I'm supposed to.
Remember that if you lose your mask
I won't lose my mask. Ever.
I'm going to win that match
with or without you!
[upbeat music playing]
You're so stubborn.
[sighs] You've always been.
[sighs]
[Refugio] How did you say he died?
Massive heart attack.
[inhales deeply] I got a call from the US
and they told me.
- I didn't ask anything.
- And you never saw the body, right?
[Victoria] If I wanted
to bring the body back here,
I would've had to go through
a lot of paperwork and expenses.
So the grave at the cemetery?
Ángela needed a place to cry
for her father.
Listen, do you know
if he kept fighting in the US?
I didn't hear from him
after he abandoned us.
He stopped sending us money
and asking for Ángela.
Do you think I care about how he died?
- Enough!
- Hmm!
Let's leave it at that.
I just have some doubts.

- [bell dings]
- [song ends]
[scatting tune]
[laughs]
Do you like my new outfit?
Lalo is gonna regret replacing you
with that polliwog.
- He didn't replace me, I left him.
- [laughs]
You remind me of my cousin.
When some guy dropped her like
a hot potato, she'd say the same thing.
- Hmm.
- Anyway, there you go.
This is for you.
Just to give you more cachet.
Hell no! This ugly thing belongs
to Bridezilla.
Exactly, man.
Haven't you learned anything?
You must play with your rival's mind.
If she sees it on you, you've already won.
[upbeat music playing]
HEADLINE FIGH
CANDY CARAMELO - THE BLACK BRIDE
Contemplate and rejoice
to see these icons of the ring,
these scholars
of all wrestling existing techniques.
- They are the legends of Iztapalapa!
- [crowd cheering]
A big applause for them, please!
Stop right there! This tribute is a farce!
- [laughs]
- [all jeering]
Like I said, this tribute is a farce!
And we're not going
to let it continue anymore,
until the one and only, the one of a kind,
female gladiator,
is in the ring!
Tough all the way to the bone marrow,
feared by the scrawny technicians
and the professional scavengers.
Give it up for
Victoria Gutiérrez, The Sovereign!
[crowd cheering]
Whoo!
[crowd chanting]
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
The Sovereign!
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
Is this why you wanted me to come?
Well, I'm so sorry, Grandma.
It was Don Gabriel's plan.
But get up there, please,
this is your moment.
Grandma, you're a legend.
You're my wrestling legend!
Come on. Go up there!
[crowd chanting]
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
Victoria, you were
a really phenomenal fighter.
And I I want to fight for
for your happiness, for
for the rest of my life
without any time limitations. [chuckles]
[crowd cheering, whistling]
Victoria, will you marry me?
[crowd cheering]
Hurray for the Sovereign!
[all cheering]
Did you see that?
- [Josefina] Come on!
- Yes.
[all cheering]
Yeah! [laughs]
Bravo!
Whoo!
Bravo!
[all chanting] Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
Kiss! Kiss!
[all cheering]
[drumming]
[cheering continues]
[upbeat music playing]
Are you who I think you are?
Rey Mysterio. Nice to meet you.
- And you're Bride in Black, right?
- Yes.
Shouldn't you be
in your locker room focusing?
You're about to fight.
It's just someone just proposed to
to The Sovereign.
And I'm happy for her.
If that's so important to you,
then you can't afford
to lose this fight tonight.
I know, but it's not that easy.
How's that signature move coming along?
- I've seen you in several videos.
- Well, it's not great.
The more I practice,
the less I get it right.
It's logical. You're trying
to copy someone else's move.
To win the move, Bride in Black,
you have to make it yours.
Okay, but how?
Take off the other wrestler's shadow
and trust yourself.
That's what I always
tell my son, Dominik.
Pleasure meeting you, Bride in Black.
[crowd cheering]
- [upbeat music playing]
- [woman] Congratulations!
[cheering continues]
What a romantic proposal.
Let me see the diamond!
Oh my God, it's huge!
Congratulations!
Thanks, we have to take a seat.
- I'll be there in a second.
- [Victoria chuckles]
[crowd applauding]
[suspenseful music playing]
Aníbal?
You're not gonna fool me.
You're supposed to be dead,
you stupid asshole!
Talk. Come on!
Don't tell me
you're suddenly unable to speak,
because I overheard you telling Ángela
that she was stubborn,
like you always used to tell her.
I don't want any trouble, Refugio.
You have no shame, Aníbal.
Take off your damn mask, asshole.
Take off your mask now!
[music continues]
How could you go
as far as to fake your own death?
How could you do such a horrible thing
to your daughter and your wife?
This was Victoria's idea.
What's that?
Victoria knows you're alive?
[Aníbal] Yeah.
She told me that if I left,
she would tell Ángela that I'd died.
[Refugio] And did you agree to it?
I didn't have much of a choice.
Not after what we did to her.
She has every right
to keep me buried six feet under.
Do you know what?
I only want to get close to my daughter.
Have you seen her?
She could become a huge star.
- [sighs]
- I want to help her triumph.
When she finds out who you really are,
I promise she'll hate you.
You'll break her heart, that's all.
The exact same way you broke ours.
You have no idea how much it hurt
to abandon my daughter.
And to abandon you, too.
Get the fuck out of here.
Get the fuck out of here!
[Aníbal breathes deeply]
[breathes deeply]
[sniffles]
[sobbing]
[Hyperventilating]
[sobbing]
[exhales]
[breathing heavily]
[man] Bride in Black, to the ring!
[upbeat music playing faintly]
Hi, Rocío! [chuckling]
Come here.
How are you?
Fine..
I think.
I asked Petunia to bring you here
because I owe you an apology.
It wasn't fair that Lalo and I argued
in front of you.
I suppose it's normal.
No, my love.
It's not.
I love you as if you were my own daughter.
I'll always be there for you.
Do you hear me?
So does this mean
that you'll return to live with us?
Uh [sighs]
No.
Your dad and I broke up.
But that doesn't change anything
between us, okay?
You can find me whenever you want.
Never forget that.
[chuckles]
Come here.
[sighs]
Sorry, Candy,
but it's time for you to get there.
- Okay, fine. Come on.
- [laughs]
[chuckling] Okay.
[sniffles]
What's this brooch?
It's for good luck.
Do you like it?
It's my grandma's.
What do you mean it's your grandma's?
Well, she recently lost it.
She's been looking for it.
Why do you have it on you?
I found it.
Maybe your grandma lost it or, mmm,
or pawned it, you know.
She would have never done that, no.
It was the brooch that she wore on
when she was a wrestler.
When she was the Sovereign.
And only my mother and I knew
where she kept it.
Ángela knew where she kept it?
Petunia, can you take Rocío
back to her seat, please?
See you later, kid! All right?
[chuckles]
Come on, sweetie.
Let Candy concentrate on her match.
[pensive music playing]
[exhales]
[upbeat music playing]
Is something wrong?
Are you okay? What happened to you?
Nothing.
You sure?
Let's go, then!
[music continues]
Hmm?
Come on.
- Bring it on.
- [Josefina] Let's go.
This fight is yours!
- Come on, let's go! Bring it on!
- Come on, you got this!
Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls!
Friends and guest of honor
of this magnificent event
Rey Mysterio!
[crowd cheering]
Let's go!
And now, I give to you,
the mystery in the flesh of a woman,
the irreverent wrestler
- Bride in Black!
- [crowd cheering]
That's her, Grandma! Bride in Black!
Let's see if she's as good as you say.
- Here's the one you've been waiting for!
- Oh, bring it on!
[all cheering]
["Cumbia A La Gente" by Guaynaa
& Los Ángeles Azules playing]
Whoo!

[song continues playing]
[crowd chanting] Bride in Black!
Bride in Black! Bride in Black!
Bride in Black! Bride in Black!
Bride in Black! Bride in Black!
Bride in Black! Bride in Black!
And now, for your viewing pleasure,
the gorgeous woman
in pink cotton candy garb.
I give you all Candy Caramelo!

Candy! Candy! Candy! Candy!

Candy! Candy! Candy! Candy!
Candy! Candy! Candy! Candy!
Let me remind you that
the Champion of Iztapalapa
will walk out of here,
not only with a trophy,
also with a direct pass to the WWE school.
[cheering]
It belongs to you, girl!
You're gonna crush her, Candy.
Go for it, Bride in Black!
Obviously, today, as you all know,
a mask will be lost.
- It's all yours. It's all yours.
- [crowd cheering]
What do you say, Bride in Black?
Will you succeed in dethroning the queen?
Her stupid mask, I wouldn't even use it
to mop the bathroom.
[laughs]
- [mic thuds, feedback]
- [crowd exclaims]
Oh my
And yours would work
as a kitchen rag for me
You filthy Bride.
[crowd roaring]
They will fight
for two out of three takedowns
without time limit.
- [crowd] Bride in Black! Bride in Black!
- Candy! Candy!
Bride in Black! Bride in Black!
It's time for the action!
[referee] Come on, let's go!
Let's go. Get out! Get out!
Hey, get out. Get out. Get away.
Wrestlers, come to the center!
[crowd cheering]
Ready?
Fight!

[yelling]
- [groans]
- You didn't even make it past my warm up.
- One, two
- [grunts]
Count fast for Christ's sake!
I'm only adding some excitement
to this match because you're so boring!
[grunting]
- Go, Bride in Black!
- One, two
[grunts]
[grunts]
Two!
[grunting]
- Count faster this time! Come on!
- One, two, three
Something's wrong. She's not focused.
Ah, what just happened here?
You're a dumb bitch and a loser!
- [Alstroemeria] That's personal!
- Let her go!
[grunting]
[groans]
- [grunts]
- Don't let her win, Candy.
Don't let her win.
[crowd cheering]
[grunting]
[Alstroemeria] Come on! Concentrate!
Don't spare her! Go all the way! Go!
[groans]
[woman] Come on!
The ropes, she's touching the ropes!
Can't you see that?
- She didn't touch the ropes!
- You cheater! You fucking cheater!
There you go!
- Grab her, grab her. Come on, punish her!
- [groaning]
[Chameleon] Teach her
who the Iztapalapa champion is!
Yeah, yeah, that's right!
I'm gonna pull until you surrender.
[grunting]
[referee] Come on.
[grunts]
- [referee] That's it.
- Son of a gun!
You cheater!
[chanting] Candy! Candy! Candy! Candy!
- Candy! Candy! Candy! Candy!
- [Bride in Black groans]
[groans]
You wanted to fight?
That's how professional wrestlers do it!
[grunts]
The number one, ladies and gentlemen.
[crowd chanting]
Candy! Candy! Candy! Candy!
There you go! That's right, my champion!
Good job! Good job!
She falls once more
and you win this fight hands down!
Just do what I taught you! Huh?
- [Bride in Black grunts]
- What's going on?
[panting] I heard you talking to Nahual.
[panting]
Okay, listen. What Victoria did was wrong.
But remember,
you're also lying to your daughter.
So now, if you don't want
that Candy Fart-face
to rip off your mask in front of her,
focus and win!
Then, you can cry all you want.
But leave all your shit
out of the damn ring! Come on!
Come on, my girl!
So?
Come up, bitch!
Come on, Bride in Black! Come on!
Eighteen, nineteen
[grunts]
Bring it on, Bride in Black!
Get ready. Fight!
[grunts]
[grunting]
[groans]
[grunts]
[Refugio] Take her to the ropes!
- [grunting]
- [Chameleon] Like that!
[grunting]
That's how I wanted to grab you.
[woman] Go for her! Come on!
- [grunts]
- [crowd cheering]
Yeah!
- Let's go! Let's go!
- Great job!
[all cheering]
[referee] One, two, three
four, five
six
- Count, you dumbass motherfucker
- Language, there are kids, dude!
- Kids count better than this asshole.
- Seven, eight
[crowd cheering]
Hey, Candy!
Watch out! Watch out!
- [grunts]
- [crowd exclaims]
[referee] Nothing happened!
- [grunts]
- Oh!
Nothing? She just hit her with a chair!
Well, ma'am, I'm the boss here.
- Didn't you see that, referee?
- Hey!
Moving on.
Come on.
There, Bride in Black, on the ropes.
- One, two, three
- [grunts]
four, five, six
[grunting]
[groans]
Okay, come on!
[panting]
[grunts]
One
Free yourself!
- Two
- [Chameleon] Get out of there, Candy!
- [referee] Two.
- Yes, two. Two.
Yes, two. All right.
- How about you count well and faster.
- Just two, Bride. Continue.
[grunting]
[groans]
[both grunting]
[grunts in pain]
I'll grip you tighter until you surrender
or until I break your knee.
[groaning]
Hold on! Don't surrender!
- No, no. Don't surrender! Hold on!
- [screaming]
[groaning]
Well, well, you lost the round.
Goddamn it!
[groaning]
[exhales]
That's what I'm talking about,
Bride in Black!
That's right!
You're the best motherfucking fighter!
[chanting] Bride in Black! Bride in Black!
Bride in Black, come here.
Come on, come here.
[grunts]
Let me see you. Let me see you.
[Chameleon] Come over here. Hurry up.
- What happened to you?
- How are you, Candy?
Beat it! Mind your own fucking business!
- Go fuck yourself, Chameleon!
- Hey, Lalo!
- I'll beat the crap out of you!
- Go for it! I'm not afraid of you, okay?
Lalo, go! Leave, please.
- Let's go.
- Move along, fuckers.
- Get lost. Go to hell, douchebag.
- Ugh.
- It's okay. You're fine.
- [grunts]
Come on. Take a deep breath.
I just want this to be over.
In that case,
you have to do your signature move.
But do it between the middle and top rope.
I can't do that!
Not even my dad dared do it like that.
[Refugio] If you repeat the same moves,
she'll figure you out
and she'll counterattack.
- [Chameleon] What's wrong?
- My knee hurts like hell.
Come on, come on, wait. Your knee is fine.
Remember, no pain, no fucking gain!
- [Candy] Mm-hmm.
- Come on.
Come on, you sticky lollipop,
Or is your bubblegum center rotting?
Do it. Do it! Have no mercy.
- No.
- What do you mean no?
Petunia, bring me the brooch.
[panting]
Why do you want this trinket?
I'm talking to you, Candy.
Why do you want that trinket?
Give this piece of shit
back to your mom, Ángela.
[grunting]
It's yours.
It's yours!
- [groans]
- [Refugio] That's a foul!
- It's not. You should shut your mouth.
- No foul.
[grunting]
- [grunts]
- [groans]
[grunting]
Move away from there! Move away, Candy!
- One!
- [Refugio] Start the counting!
- Two!
- Count, asshole!
Hold her tight, come on!
That's cheating!
The referee is blind as a bat!
- Seriously?
- Let's continue. Two, two. Come on.
[grunts]
- One, two
- [grunting]
You have to count faster, referee!
- [groans]
- Go for the ropes! Go for the ropes!
[Candy] You already
took my family from me,
so don't you even think
that I'm gonna let you win this match.
[grunts]
Come on! Come on!
[grunts]
Ropes! Ropes!
You have to let her go! Come on.
[whistling]
Bring it on, Bride in Black!
[grunting]
- [referee] One, two
- [grunts]
- [grunts]
- Goodbye, Filthy Bride!
- One, two
- [grunting]
- [crowd cheering]
- [referee] Two!
- Just like that!
- Come on!
- [grunts]
- [groaning]
[groaning]
[grunts]
- [crowd cheering]
- [exhales]
[referee] One, two, three
No, do it from the top one!
[referee] four
[crowd roars]
- [groans]
- [Chameleon] Again! You got her!
That's it. Let's go.
[groans]
[Chameleon] There. Got it! Just like that!
Just like that! Just like that!
[grunts]
- [Chameleon] You got her! You got her!
- [Rocío] Come on!
Now, Rocío will finally know
who her lying mother is.
That's not cool at all!
That's not fair! Come on!
She's about to rip off her mask!
[grunting]
[Chameleon] What are you doing? Don't!
Forget about the mask.
Just subdue her! Make her surrender!
Make her surrender!
[grunting]
[grunting]
I'll show you not to mess with me, Ángela!
[grunting]
Bride in Black!
Stop thinking!
Trust your body!
[both grunting]
[yelling]
That's it!
[grunting]
- [groans]
- [Nahual] Good!
- Good! Fuck yeah!
- [Chameleon] Move, move! Come on!
[breathes heavily]
[groans]
[groaning]
[grunts]
- Great!
- That's great! Nice!
- Do it from the top, like I told you!
- She'll kill herself!
One, two
[yelling]
[grunting]
[grunts]
- [crowd cheering]
- [Nahual] Show 'em how it's done!
Yeah! [laughs]
Oh!
That's how to do a double clip ringlet!
It's a Black Veil, you idiot!
[crowd cheering]
[grunting]
[groaning]
[grunting] Give up!
Keep it up like that.
[groaning]
[yelling]
That was cheating! He pulled her hair!
- That's a foul!
- Didn't you see that?
[crowd jeering]
[grunting]
One, two, three!
[grunts]
[referee] That's it! That's it!
- Hey! Call it!
- He cheated. He's not allowed to do that!
You bunch of cheaters!
She should be disqualified! Jesus!
- [crowd booing]
- Way to go!
- Candy!
- [Lalo] Not that way, Candy!
Fuck you! Fucking jerk and cheater!
[woman] That was cheating!
[Petunia] Candy! Candy! Candy!
He pulled her hair. Bride in Black won!
That's not the way, Candy.
- You'll see!
- What are you doing, Refugio?
- You cheating dirtbag! I'll kick your ass!
- Get away from me!
- You know how this business works!
- He cheated! Everyone saw it!
You should be ashamed of yourself,
you cheater! You suck!
[Refugio] He pulled her hair!
Don't tell me you didn't see!
[referee] I didn't see anything.
Come on, now!
For the fifth time in a row,
the champion of Iztapalapa is
- Candy Caramelo!
- [Refugio] You're just a cheater! Cheater!
- You lost you fucking cheater!
- You're a bitch, Candy!
[crowd jeering]
[announcer] And now,
our indisputable champion
will proceed to reveal
the true identity
- of Bride in Black!
- [scoffs] Fuck you, Dumb Bride!
Come on, come on.
Come to the center. It's your duty.
[somber music playing]
Your little number is over.
[whispering]
Get ready to lose your daughter.
[somber music continues]

IN MEMORY OF
ANÍBAL FERNANDO GUTIÉRREZ BONILLA
[Ángela] How are things going
with your dad?
It's all right.
You know, normal.
No one lies.
No one is trying to assassinate me.
[Refugio] I'm sorry. [panting]
I got lost.
If you let me, I'd like to put this on
- Godmother, I don't think
- Leave her alone, Ángela.
I invited her.
We realized it's not worth it
to fight over a dress.
All right, so nobody's gonna say anything?
[clears throat]
Grandpa, well, I never met you,
but knowing my mom very well,
I'm not surprised that
that you would rather be dead than
Rocío!
Sorry, Dad, excuse your granddaughter.
She was born with really bad manners.
- It's genetic, though, Grandpa.
- [Ángela] Don't be rude!
Living with your dad
is no excuse for dissing me.
Hey, knock it off!
We came to see my husband,
your father, your grandpa.
[both] She started it!
[Victoria] Aníbal
Well [chuckles softly]
here we are today, the four women
who figured out how to move on.
And we're together
despite everything that happened.
Okay, so now, can we eat the bread?
Oh, I'm sorry!

[grunting]
- [grunting]
- [Bride in Black] Come here!
[grunts]
[laughs]
- Where are you going?
- [groaning]
Cut it out, Angie! Bride in Black!
[heaves] I'm not twenty-eight anymore.
Bring your intensity down a notch,
we're not like Malena!
Or like Refugio.
Don't even look at me.
I already told Bride in Black
I won't train her
until she tells her family the truth.
Not even if it's the most important match
of her whole life?
Oh, it's so damn hot with the mask on.
Why did you build
the gym upstairs? My God
Because I no longer train anyone
who wanna hide their identity.
Don't even give me that look.
Why continue fighting
when you've already lost Rocío?
Because Bride in Black
is the only way I have left
to stay in touch with my daughter.
Because Rocío loves Bride in Black
as much as she hates Ángela. Hmm?
[panting] Well, uh, we have to
get back to work.
No, no, no, no, no.
Cover for me, please.
- What? Again?
- Yes, please.
All right. See you later!
- See you, coach.
- [exhales]
- Bye.
- You take care, girls!
I could definitely help you
to stop making excuses at work
and make a living just from wrestling.
I'm a scout for the WWE.
We're about to open a branch here to train
future prospects with high potential.
And so, I'm recruiting wrestlers
with great talent like you.
I was told that you're in need of a coach.
I'm too much of a burden
for some trainers.
[Nahual] But not for me.
If you accept
I'll be waiting for you.
Take care.
[giggles]
[Candy] Hey, guys,
what are you doing here?
- We'd agreed to get tacos with Rocío.
- I completely forgot.
- We just have half an hour to eat.
- Perfect. I can eat seven in half an hour.
Chameleon will be waiting for us.
You guys go ahead!
We agreed to have lunch together.
Yes, I know.
But Chameleon is teaching me
a special routine.
I'm gonna tear Bride in Black into pieces.
Only if she lets you.
[Candy] Oh, yeah?
First, I'll get her with a Stillson,
then an inverse twist, then
[mimics cracking]
I'll just break her neck!
Don't believe her, sweetie.
She's just joking.
[chuckles]
Anyway, I can't go to lunch.
- Dad, let's go get tacos.
- Wait a sec for me, sweetie.
Come here, Candy! Now!
Ever since you came back to this gym,
everything is
"Chameleon this, Chameleon that."
- Are you getting back together with him?
- [laughs]
You've missed having someone to flirt
with the stupid idea of success
at any cost, haven't you?
Even if you lose the people who love you.
What really bothers you is
that I have ambition,
and do you know why?
Because you don't know
what that means, Lalo.
You're a mediocre man
with no aspirations in life.
Bye, love.
[upbeat music playing]
Let's go, sweetie!
[Josefina] Show it to us!
[gasps] Wow! It's so nice.
- It's freaking gorgeous.
- [Lucy] Beautiful!
- Let me [gasps]
- Wow [gasps]
What's going on here?
- Just
- What?
- [Mr. Gabriel] What's up?
- Nothing.
What do you mean? Why are you here?
You were keeping that secret
from us, huh? Weren't you?
What secret are you talking about?
About
- [women squeal, laugh]
- Oh!
- Give me that back, please. Come on.
- [whistles]
Yes, of course.
- Hey, look at that.
- [Lucy] Ah! [laughs]
- Give me that right back.
- Not funny at all, I know.
- Give it to me
- Until you give us all the details.
Are you out of your mind
this morning? Okay.
- One, two, three
- [Josefina] Fine. Stop.
- There. Take it back.
- Ah, ah, ah, ah!
Such a killjoy!
- We want all the details.
- Phew!
- Talk, talk, talk.
- Okay.
[inhales deeply]
[women chuckle]
Do you girls think that
I, uh, should ask, you know, Ángela,
for permission first?
- [Lucy groans]
- Of course, not! Not at all!
That's too damn old school.
First of all, you should focus on
making sure that Victoria will say yes.
- And that she doesn't run away.
- You're so mean.
Do you know what you're gonna say?
- Yes, I've written it all down.
- [Betty] Oh, that's so cute.
[sighs]
"I, who fly for your love
like a little bird
[sighs]
I, who was a butterfly
of a thousand flowers"
- I'm hesitating about the butterfly part.
- That's way too boring!
Oh yeah?
Rocío! Have you seen my locket?
I can't find it anywhere.
No. Come on, Grandma,
you know I never mess with your things.
- [tsks]
- [Rocío] Well
almost never.
Come on, Rocío!
Gabriel is about to pick me up.
Ah, so in this case, I better get going.
- [sighs]
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
- [chuckles]
I love you, and I also miss you.
Don't miss me, just come more often.
I don't want
to leave my dad alone, Grandma.
He's been having a hard time
since he and Candy broke up.
Don't worry too much, Rocío.
They'll get back together.
- Bye!
- [chuckles] Bye.
[Bride in Black]
Wow, everything is state of the art.
[Alstroemeria] Yeah, and brand new too.
Just picture yourself
rubbing elbows with
all the crème de la crème of the WWE!
[gasps] Oh, hey
- What if among them, you find my Rey?
- I don't know who that is.
- Oh Rey Mysterio.
- [chuckles]
Even better, you'll be on television.
Can you imagine?
I didn't think you were coming.
Me neither, but they convinced me.
[Nahual] I'm glad.
Because this place is going to become
the epicenter of Mexican wrestling.
Only the best of the best!
- Do you consider me to be among the best?
- Not yet. You need more training.
So why did you look for her, mister?
Because if Bride in Black
beats Candy Caramelo,
she'll be able to train directly here
and become a professional wrestler.
What do I have to do?
Today, rest as much as you can.
Because starting tomorrow
you're gonna wish you'd rested more.
[all chuckle]
No, I really need you to focus here.
It's easy. I will give her the ring.
When you see me kiss her on the mouth,
then you bring the champagne.
All right? Okay, fine, fine. Leave now.
Thank you.
- Why were you talking with the waiter?
- He's a friend from childhood.
Well, I'd love to know
which wrinkle cream he uses.
Victoria! What a coincidence!
I'm actually glad you're here.
I needed to talk to you.
Talk about what?
- I'm organizing a ceremony to, uh
- Mm-hmm.
to pay tribute to the iconic, if not
legendary wrestlers from Iztapalapa.
It's gonna take place the very day
of the match
between Candy and Bride in Black.
And Victoria "The Sovereign"
can't miss the event.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I'll never get into a ring again
in my life.
- Don't be such a killjoy, Victoria.
- Mmm.
It will be in a nicer arena,
with more cachet.
Everything will be very cool, I promise!
I don't want to hear anything
about wrestling.
But we want to celebrate you, your legend.
And to remember Black Mist too!
How could we forget
that wrestling love story, you know?
That wasn't
a wrestling love story, you idiot.
My damn husband was a serial cheater,
and he's better off where he is.
The graveyard. Hmm?
[Juan Carlos] I get it!
[both moan]
Mm-hmm?
- [inhales deeply]
- [Gabriel clears throat]
Well, I have to go.
- I'll let you guys be. Enjoy your dinner.
- Uh-huh.
[Juan Carlos] Okay.
[Victoria moaning]
[Petunia] You know this is your house,
however if you don't mind me asking,
how long are you planning to stay?
Well, I mean
After the match, I guess,
I'll figure all that out.
Wouldn't it be easier to just apologize
to your "mediocre" boyfriend?
Ah! Don't judge me. It's the truth.
But there are other ways.
You called him mediocre
in front of his daughter.
You should have called him stupid,
but mediocre?
You have a point.
- Anyway Your bed is ready.
- Mm-hmm.
- There, madame.
- [Candy] Thanks a lot!
You're welcome. [chuckles]
Do you like it?
I probably should apologize
to Lalo, right?
[whimsical music playing]
- I mean, for Rocío's sake.
- [scoffs]
[Mr. Gabriel] And then Victoria got angry
and said she didn't want to hear anything
about wrestling,
but I'm sure that she does.
- I can feel it.
- [Josefina] Mm-hmm.
So I decided to wait a few days
to propose her. The timing was off.
- No.
- Oh!
If only I could
convince her somehow to go.
- It's to celebrate her!
- Mm-hmm.
What if I asked Ángela
to talk to Victoria?
There's only one person
who can convince Victoria
to go to her tribute, Gabriel.
Rocío!
Hmm.
Should I ask her to help me?
[upbeat music playing]
Dad, I'm really worried about you.
I don't like seeing you miserable.
Like an abandoned dog.
I'm sorry for being like this.
What about me?
Rocío, it's not your fault. Hmm?
The only thing I won't forgive you for is
that you just compared me to a dog!
- [growling]
- [laughs, growls]
[both howling, laughing]
- [Lalo growls]
- [laughs]
[gasps]
What's wrong?
[sighs]
[sniffles]
Rocío?
Wait. Come on!
Rocío, what did I say?
[gentle music playing]
[rustling]
[Rocío exhales]
It's me, Rocío.
And where's my dad?
I sent him to run an errand.
I don't know how to use this.
Don't you have something else?
It's the only thing I have, Rocío.
Does it hurt?
Not at all.
Look, you have to open it first like this.
- Hmm?
- Mm-hmm.
- [chuckles]
- Then, you
you have to you have to put it in, uh
in your flower
You meant to say "vagina."
[chuckles]
Okay.
The easiest way is
for you to squat, all right?
- Uh-huh.
- And then put in the tampon like this.
Inhale and exhale,
and that's it.
Okay, I'm gonna try it.
[inhales deeply]
But don't leave, please,
if you don't mind.
I won't move from the door.
Are you really going to cry
over a few drops of blood?
[Ángela chuckles]
I'm just very happy.
Okay.
[breathes deeply]
I brought the brand of the tampons
I'm using right now,
but maybe Rocío wants to try other things.
Please, tell Candy
to help her choose the right one for her.
Yeah. Well, uh
Candy won't probably be around.
We broke up.
I'm sorry, Lalo.
It's all right.
We don't want the same things.
Well, since Candy isn't here,
you gotta go with her to buy her things.
All right.
Ángela!
Do you think
things would've been different
if they hadn't put you in prison?
I don't think so.
I was too stubborn.
But I'm not anymore.
This is a mistake, Lalo.
It doesn't have to be, Ángela.
Rocío needs her mother.
We, actually, both need you.
[upbeat music playing]
[Nahual] In order for you to think
with your body,
you must feel.
If you can get away
before I let go of the rope,
you'll be ready to defeat anyone.
[grunts]
[grunting]
[Nahual] Disconnect your mind
and feel how you're gonna escape
from this hold.
[grunting]
[grunts, groans]
[panting]
Again! [grunts]
- [moans]
- [Nahual grunts]
Again!
[grunting]
[Bride in Black grunting]
[Nahual] Stop thinking.
[Bride in Black] I can't.
My daughter doesn't speak to me
and I'm lost!
[grunts, yells]
[Bride in Black grunts]
[breathing heavily]
[panting]
[breathing heavily]
What are you afraid of, Bride in Black?
I don't want to lose my mask.
I'm nothing without it.
Without it, my daughter doesn't love me.
And that's why you must win.
[breathing shakily]
[Victoria] I'm not that crazy.
I'm never going back in a ring,
not even with a gun to my head.
Ah!
Well, I'm pretty sure you'd happily
go back in a ring to kick my ass.
[smacking lips]
[Victoria laughs]
- [Ángela groaning]
- [Refugio] Hi, sunshine!
What's wrong? What happened to you?
[grunting]
Nothing.
I fell while I was doing inventory.
Hmm.
You should either find another job,
or find another excuse.
That's what happens
for going with that man.
He's going too hard on you.
That man is helping me though,
unlike others.
You can mention "that" man's name, y'know?
My feelings won't get hurt.
It's obvious that my Gabriel
just wants to help Ángela.
And it's not his fault
that she's kind of dumb.
- [laughs]
- That's exactly the problem.
They take advantage of the dumb ones.
Who knows what he wants from you.
With all due respect, Godmother,
since you won't help, get off my back.
Ooh.
[groans]
[Nahual] You're late. You look like crap.
[Bride in Black chuckles]
And you haven't even seen me
without my mask.
When are we going to train for real?
A straitjacket
isn't gonna help me in the ring.
Do you wanna win or not?

[grunts]
This is stupid!
I bet you're not even a real coach!
[breathing heavily]
Where you going?
To train like I'm supposed to.
Remember that if you lose your mask
I won't lose my mask. Ever.
I'm going to win that match
with or without you!
[upbeat music playing]
You're so stubborn.
[sighs] You've always been.
[sighs]
[Refugio] How did you say he died?
Massive heart attack.
[inhales deeply] I got a call from the US
and they told me.
- I didn't ask anything.
- And you never saw the body, right?
[Victoria] If I wanted
to bring the body back here,
I would've had to go through
a lot of paperwork and expenses.
So the grave at the cemetery?
Ángela needed a place to cry
for her father.
Listen, do you know
if he kept fighting in the US?
I didn't hear from him
after he abandoned us.
He stopped sending us money
and asking for Ángela.
Do you think I care about how he died?
- Enough!
- Hmm!
Let's leave it at that.
I just have some doubts.

Do you like my new outfit?
Lalo is gonna regret replacing you
with that polliwog.
- He didn't replace me, I left him.
- [laughs]
You remind me of my cousin.
When some guy dropped her like
a hot potato, she'd say the same thing.
- Hmm.
- Anyway, there you go.
This is for you.
Just to give you more cachet.
Hell no! This ugly thing belongs
to Bridezilla.
Exactly, man.
Haven't you learned anything?
You must play with your rival's mind.
If she sees it on you, you've already won.

HEADLINE FIGH
CANDY CARAMELO - THE BLACK BRIDE
Contemplate and rejoice
to see these icons of the ring,
these scholars
of all wrestling existing techniques.
- They are the legends of Iztapalapa!
- [crowd cheering]
A big applause for them, please!
Stop right there! This tribute is a farce!
- [laughs]
- [all jeering]
Like I said, this tribute is a farce!
And we're not going
to let it continue anymore,
until the one and only, the one of a kind,
female gladiator,
is in the ring!
Tough all the way to the bone marrow,
feared by the scrawny technicians
and the professional scavengers.
Give it up for
Victoria Gutiérrez, The Sovereign!
[crowd cheering]
Whoo!
[crowd chanting]
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
The Sovereign!
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
Is this why you wanted me to come?
Well, I'm so sorry, Grandma.
It was Don Gabriel's plan.
But get up there, please,
this is your moment.
Grandma, you're a legend.
You're my wrestling legend!
Come on. Go up there!
[crowd chanting]
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
The Sovereign! The Sovereign!
Victoria, you were
a really phenomenal fighter.
And I I want to fight for
for your happiness, for
for the rest of my life
without any time limitations. [chuckles]
[crowd cheering, whistling]
Victoria, will you marry me?
[crowd cheering]
Hurray for the Sovereign!
[all cheering]
Did you see that?
- [Josefina] Come on!
- Yes.
[all cheering]
Yeah! [laughs]
Bravo!
Whoo!
Bravo!
[all chanting] Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
Kiss! Kiss!
[all cheering]
[drumming]
[cheering continues]
[upbeat music playing]
Are you who I think you are?
Rey Mysterio. Nice to meet you.
- And you're Bride in Black, right?
- Yes.
Shouldn't you be
in your locker room focusing?
You're about to fight.
It's just someone just proposed to
to The Sovereign.
And I'm happy for her.
If that's so important to you,
then you can't afford
to lose this fight tonight.
I know, but it's not that easy.
How's that signature move coming along?
- I've seen you in several videos.
- Well, it's not great.
The more I practice,
the less I get it right.
It's logical. You're trying
to copy someone else's move.
To win the move, Bride in Black,
you have to make it yours.
Okay, but how?
Take off the other wrestler's shadow
and trust yourself.
That's what I always
tell my son, Dominik.
Pleasure meeting you, Bride in Black.
[crowd cheering]
- [upbeat music playing]
- [woman] Congratulations!
[cheering continues]
What a romantic proposal.
Let me see the diamond!
Oh my God, it's huge!
Congratulations!
Thanks, we have to take a seat.
- I'll be there in a second.
- [Victoria chuckles]
[crowd applauding]
[suspenseful music playing]
Aníbal?
You're not gonna fool me.
You're supposed to be dead,
you stupid asshole!
Talk. Come on!
Don't tell me
you're suddenly unable to speak,
because I overheard you telling Ángela
that she was stubborn,
like you always used to tell her.
I don't want any trouble, Refugio.
You have no shame, Aníbal.
Take off your damn mask, asshole.
Take off your mask now!
[music continues]
How could you go
as far as to fake your own death?
How could you do such a horrible thing
to your daughter and your wife?
This was Victoria's idea.
What's that?
Victoria knows you're alive?
[Aníbal] Yeah.
She told me that if I left,
she would tell Ángela that I'd died.
[Refugio] And did you agree to it?
I didn't have much of a choice.
Not after what we did to her.
She has every right
to keep me buried six feet under.
Do you know what?
I only want to get close to my daughter.
Have you seen her?
She could become a huge star.
- [sighs]
- I want to help her triumph.
When she finds out who you really are,
I promise she'll hate you.
You'll break her heart, that's all.
The exact same way you broke ours.
You have no idea how much it hurt
to abandon my daughter.
And to abandon you, too.
Get the fuck out of here.
Get the fuck out of here!
[Aníbal breathes deeply]
[breathes deeply]
[sniffles]
[sobbing]
[Hyperventilating]
[sobbing]
[exhales]
[breathing heavily]
[man] Bride in Black, to the ring!
[upbeat music playing faintly]
Hi, Rocío! [chuckling]
Come here.
How are you?
Fine..
I think.
I asked Petunia to bring you here
because I owe you an apology.
It wasn't fair that Lalo and I argued
in front of you.
I suppose it's normal.
No, my love.
It's not.
I love you as if you were my own daughter.
I'll always be there for you.
Do you hear me?
So does this mean
that you'll return to live with us?
Uh [sighs]
No.
Your dad and I broke up.
But that doesn't change anything
between us, okay?
You can find me whenever you want.
Never forget that.
[chuckles]
Come here.
[sighs]
Sorry, Candy,
but it's time for you to get there.
- Okay, fine. Come on.
- [laughs]
[chuckling] Okay.
[sniffles]
What's this brooch?
It's for good luck.
Do you like it?
It's my grandma's.
What do you mean it's your grandma's?
Well, she recently lost it.
She's been looking for it.
Why do you have it on you?
I found it.
Maybe your grandma lost it or, mmm,
or pawned it, you know.
She would have never done that, no.
It was the brooch that she wore on
when she was a wrestler.
When she was the Sovereign.
And only my mother and I knew
where she kept it.
Ángela knew where she kept it?
Petunia, can you take Rocío
back to her seat, please?
See you later, kid! All right?
[chuckles]
Come on, sweetie.
Let Candy concentrate on her match.
[pensive music playing]
[exhales]
[upbeat music playing]
Is something wrong?
Are you okay? What happened to you?
Nothing.
You sure?
Let's go, then!
[music continues]
Hmm?
Come on.
- Bring it on.
- [Josefina] Let's go.
This fight is yours!
- Come on, let's go! Bring it on!
- Come on, you got this!
Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls!
Friends and guest of honor
of this magnificent event
Rey Mysterio!
[crowd cheering]
Let's go!
And now, I give to you,
the mystery in the flesh of a woman,
the irreverent wrestler
- Bride in Black!
- [crowd cheering]
That's her, Grandma! Bride in Black!
Let's see if she's as good as you say.
- Here's the one you've been waiting for!
- Oh, bring it on!

Let me remind you that
the Champion of Iztapalapa
will walk out of here,
not only with a trophy,
also with a direct pass to the WWE school.
[cheering]
It belongs to you, girl!
You're gonna crush her, Candy.
Go for it, Bride in Black!
Obviously, today, as you all know,
a mask will be lost.
- It's all yours. It's all yours.
- [crowd cheering]
What do you say, Bride in Black?
Will you succeed in dethroning the queen?
Her stupid mask, I wouldn't even use it
to mop the bathroom.
[laughs]
- [mic thuds, feedback]
- [crowd exclaims]
Oh my
And yours would work
as a kitchen rag for me
You filthy Bride.

They will fight
for two out of three takedowns
without time limit.

There you go! That's right, my champion!
Good job! Good job!
She falls once more
and you win this fight hands down!
Just do what I taught you! Huh?
- [Bride in Black grunts]
- What's going on?
[panting] I heard you talking to Nahual.
[panting]
Okay, listen. What Victoria did was wrong.
But remember,
you're also lying to your daughter.
So now, if you don't want
that Candy Fart-face
to rip off your mask in front of her,
focus and win!
Then, you can cry all you want.
But leave all your shit
out of the damn ring! Come on!

- How are you, Candy?
Beat it! Mind your own fucking business!
- Go fuck yourself, Chameleon!
- Hey, Lalo!
- I'll beat the crap out of you!
- Go for it! I'm not afraid of you, okay?
Lalo, go! Leave, please.
- Let's go.
- Move along, fuckers.
- Get lost. Go to hell, douchebag.
- Ugh.
- It's okay. You're fine.
- [grunts]
Come on. Take a deep breath.
I just want this to be over.
In that case,
you have to do your signature move.
But do it between the middle and top rope.
I can't do that!
Not even my dad dared do it like that.
[Refugio] If you repeat the same moves,
she'll figure you out
and she'll counterattack.
- [Chameleon] What's wrong?
- My knee hurts like hell.
Come on, come on, wait. Your knee is fine.
Remember, no pain, no fucking gain!
- [Candy] Mm-hmm.
- Come on.
Come on, you sticky lollipop,
Or is your bubblegum center rotting?
Do it. Do it! Have no mercy.
- No.
- What do you mean no?
Petunia, bring me the brooch.
[panting]
Why do you want this trinket?
I'm talking to you, Candy.
Why do you want that trinket?
Give this piece of shit
back to your mom, Ángela.
[grunting]
It's yours.
It's yours!
- [groans]
- [Refugio] That's a foul!
- It's not. You should shut your mouth.
- No foul.
[grunting]
- [grunts]
- [groans]
[grunting]
Move away from there! Move away, Candy!
- One!
- [Refugio] Start the counting!
- Two!
- Count, asshole!
Hold her tight, come on!
That's cheating!
The referee is blind as a bat!
- Seriously?
- Let's continue. Two, two. Come on.
[grunts]
- One, two
- [grunting]
You have to count faster, referee!
- [groans]
- Go for the ropes! Go for the ropes!
[Candy] You already
took my family from me,
so don't you even think
that I'm gonna let you win this match.
[grunts]
Come on! Come on!

You have to let her go! Come on.

Now, Rocío will finally know
who her lying mother is.
That's not cool at all!
That's not fair! Come on!
She's about to rip off her mask!

[Chameleon] What are you doing? Don't!
Forget about the mask.
Just subdue her! Make her surrender!
Make her surrender!

[grunting]
One, two, three!
[grunts]
[referee] That's it! That's it!
- Hey! Call it!
- He cheated. He's not allowed to do that!
You bunch of cheaters!
She should be disqualified! Jesus!
- [crowd booing]
- Way to go!
- Candy!
- [Lalo] Not that way, Candy!
Fuck you! Fucking jerk and cheater!
[woman] That was cheating!
[Petunia] Candy! Candy! Candy!
He pulled her hair. Bride in Black won!
That's not the way, Candy.
- You'll see!
- What are you doing, Refugio?
- You cheating dirtbag! I'll kick your ass!
- Get away from me!
- You know how this business works!
- He cheated! Everyone saw it!
You should be ashamed of yourself,
you cheater! You suck!
[Refugio] He pulled her hair!
Don't tell me you didn't see!
[referee] I didn't see anything.
Come on, now!
For the fifth time in a row,
the champion of Iztapalapa is
- Candy Caramelo!
- [Refugio] You're just a cheater! Cheater!
- You lost you fucking cheater!
- You're a bitch, Candy!

[announcer] And now,
our indisputable champion
will proceed to reveal
the true identity
