[upbeat dance music]
[inaudible dialogue]
We're wrapping up now.
-[Elenita] In the van there.
-[Óscar] I'm going, I'm going.
Ow! Hey, man! What?
Kid, respect your boss.
This isn't a family cookout.
What's wrong with you?
This is a professional production.
No one can ever top you, can they?
Move it. Move.
Can you explain to me how that lame-o
became our producer
when he doesn't lift a finger?
When he put up all the money to do it?
-Ah, thanks so much.
-Elenita, why hasn't Samira arrived?
I just called her. She left the apartment
but she had to make a stop first.
Shaio nailed it all.
That Berny and Vanessa
booked the same hotel.
The reservation should be under
Andrea Vanessa López Sepúlveda
and Bernardo Pichón.
[receptionist] Okay, I'm checking.
Yes, of course. There are two rooms.
No, we'll just be staying in one.
[receptionist] And which room
would you prefer?
Let's see, where will
Shaio Domínguez be staying?
[receptionist] Shaio, looking now.
Um, here it is, the suite.
-Okay, the one next to it.
-[receptionist] All right.
-Three forty-six.
-Thanks.
[receptionist] You're welcome.
[Óscar] Honeymoon,
calendar shoot in Melgar, all set.
They put everything in the van
and assigned places.
There was only one detail left,
the other model.
[dramatic music]
[Elenita gasps] Oh, my blessed God.
Oh, my blessed God, she
Forgive me for being late.
I was getting ready.
[Elenita] Oh, no.
My God. This can't be real.
[Óscar] They hired a total Martian, huh?
[Elenita] Oh, my girls.
Hello, darlings.
[Elenita] Bold.
But if I look divine,
I don't understand what the problem is.
The problem is that one asks.
We already paid for everything.
What were you thinking
changing your look before a project?
One has to ask.
Do you really think you can
do a calendar like this?
Yes, I think so.
And Grosso thinks so, too.
Incredible, Samira. Grosso.
Get out of here.
[tense music]
Leave. Don't you understand?
No. You can't do that to me.
I need this contract.
Well, how about if Grosso hires you, hmm?
Sound good to you?
But I do want to tell you
one little thing before you go.
You lost the chance of your life
to be famous.
You're no one, and that's how it'll stay.
You can leave.
[dramatic musical sting]
[Moni sighs] Now what?
No, that was a favor. No, I'm serious.
Think about it.
We would've done a calendar
with one divine model, yes,
but that nobody knew.
It has to be different.
What we're going to do
is a calendar with two superstars.
That's why this calendar will be news.
[theme song playing]
Did you tell Paola Turbay
this is the Cancún of South America?
And to bring a gallon of repellent.
Oh no, the repellent.
I hope Shaio brought some
because I forgot.
-Did you bring any?
-No. Nothing bites me.
It's all a question of attitude.
-[comedic music]
-[Laura laughs]
[sighs]
Talk to me about attitude
when we're in the river tomorrow.
Hey, kid.
-[bellhop] Yes, sir?
-Important question.
There are no bats here or anything, right?
-No little bats get in? Nothing?
-None of that, sir.
But we recommend you firmly
close the balcony door, please.
Likewise, for any questions
you can dial 102.
If there's nothing else
-Thanks. I'll see you out.
-Thanks a lot. Excuse me.
-Dial 102.
-[Shaio] Thank you.
Anything at all. Perfect.
You were very kind. Be well.
It was a pleasure. Here to help.
Ah.
[laughs] Ah, the tip.
Of course. I figured.
Um
My Shaíto, my little heart?
Hmm?
[Nico] My love,
do you happen to have any cash?
What's your name?
-Jairo, ma'am.
-Jairo.
-Okay, thanks so much.
-Same to you.
A pleasure to help you.
I hope you have a nice stay.
[tense music]
Good afternoon.
-Hi.
-Good afternoon.
I had no idea
we were staying at the same hotel
as the Mr. G-string contestants.
Ooh, they're here!
I thought they made us
change hotels for the fun of it.
What's up?
They told me we leave early tomorrow,
so we're going to go to the pool.
Excuse us.
Be careful with the sun, okay?
And the bugs, they could bite you.
[Nico] Shaio, come here, please. Shaio!
I want you to tell me the truth.
I mean, I don't even want to imagine
that you changed the entire honeymoon
just to follow Berny.
Now
Please, let's not start like this, okay?
We're here, the two of us, alone.
You and I.
We're going to make
a spectacular calendar,
in which you're a partner.
Let's not get upset thinking
about things that aren't happening.
Yes, love. You're totally right.
We won't get upset.
We're finally married,
and that's never going to change.
Never.
-Never. But
-[moans softly]
now that we're, well, here,
I think we should get on with it, right?
-What we came here for.
-[exhales]
Here goes.
Hey, no!
[sensual music]
Why don't we go slow, okay?
Like, romantic. I don't know.
Uh, romantic.
Uh
Do we light candles,
or what are we going for?
The idiot started doing
what he thought was the world championship
of sensuality and romanticism.
[Óscar] He ran his tongue
over every inch of Shaio's skin.
He became a kissing cat.
Over every inch.
Over every inch of skin smeared
with odorless and colorless insecticide.
[exaggerated kisses]
[sensual music]
-[Vanessa breathes heavily]
-[knocking at the door]
Help!
[Shaio] Open up!
-[Berny] What happened?
-Excuse me.
So sorry to interrupt,
but I've been calling the infirmary.
They won't answer.
I need a doctor. Nicolás isn't well.
-But what happened?
-I don't know.
I think it was
an allergic reaction to the repellant.
Berny, he was vomiting in the bathroom
and fainted. Berny, please help me.
Come on. Let's go.
[music grows more intense]
INFIRMARY
-Open up!
-[bangs on door] Open up, please!
-[Berny] Open up, bro.
-[medic] Yes, lay him there.
[grunts]
What happened? What's wrong?
He's dehydrated and possibly intoxicated.
And he's also weak because a few days ago
he donated bone marrow to my dad.
So, we need to call an ambulance
and notify them.
Here.
-[grunts]
-Hmm.
Here it is.
They have him on IV fluids now.
He'll be fine. Okay?
Thanks.
Berny, I want to ask you something.
There's nothing between
Andrea Vanessa and me.
You can think what you want.
Right now, I'm not in any shape
to be with anyone.
[instrumental version of "Yo No Sé Mañana"
by Juan M. Medina plays]
-No, me neither.
-You just went to a church
with someone,
and walked up to the altar
to say, "I agree to be with you
for the rest of my life,
-in good times and bad."
-Yes, but no.
I don't want to.
It's madness that can't go on.
I did it because
I didn't know what else to do.
Because you didn't go through with it.
You never showed up at that church,
after you told me a thousand times.
Didn't you mean it?
-No. You didn't do it.
-But it was never going to work
because your family would have
made your life hell.
Maybe in the beginning, yes.
But they would get used to it.
-[Shaio] Everyone gets used to it.
-I don't think so.
Really.
And the price you had to pay was too high.
And you think I'm not paying
a high price now?
Being married to someone
when you don't love them?
[instrumental version of "Yo No Sé Mañana"
by Juan M. Medina continues]
What happens if
we do this job, and I speak to my dad?
What happens if we run away
like we always planned?
Shaio.
Didn't Nico just donate
marrow to your dad?
Don't you think he deserves
a little respect from you?
Obviously, yes.
And I will be eternally grateful
to Nico for that.
But it's my life, Berny.
I have to find a way to be happy.
-This isn't about respect
-This is about selfishness.
Yours, because you're only
thinking about yourself
and what you want and what's good for you.
I don't think I could've donated
marrow to your dad.
-You hate my dad.
-I don't hate your dad.
But it does make me realize one thing.
They never would've
accepted me in your family.
What are you talking about?
I just want you to know that,
if Shaio doesn't show at the wedding,
if she doesn't get married
and she exposes us in front of everyone,
my friends, my family,
I'm going to get sick.
I'm going to die much more quickly.
And the funeral will come.
And Shaio won't be able to be there
because she won't have the nerve
to explain to everyone
why she fell for a trainer at a gym
and dumped her lifelong boyfriend.
Why she let everyone in on it,
and killed her dad,
and without a doubt
mortally wounded her mom.
That's blackmail.
A low form of blackmail,
and you know it.
Why is Shaio going to catch
the blame if you die?
That's not fair. It's disgraceful.
The really important thing here
is that Shaio and I are in love.
Do you know what love is?
You have no idea.
To love, one needs dignity.
And you know nothing about that.
Don't be naive.
Look, Mr. Joaquín,
I might not know what love is,
but if we're talking about dignity,
you don't have any, either.
[somber music]
Excuse me.
Your family will never see me
as an equal, like they see Nico.
Not me or my mom.
So we could never have been a family.
And Andrea Vanessa, yes?
Right? Andrea Vanessa's up to par?
Let me tell you one thing, Berny.
In a couple of weeks,
when that calendar's ready,
Andrea Vanessa will be more famous
than she already is.
And this country's richest,
most powerful, most famous men
will want to be with her,
and they'll tell you to go to hell.
[laughs softly]
That might be so.
It will happen.
But do you know what?
She'll look me in the face
when she tells me,
like an equal,
not thinking she's superior,
like your family.
Try to be happy with your husband.
Okay?
Since it seems like he's not
as bad of a person as we thought.
[somber music]
[stifled yell]
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
[birds chittering]
Tell what happened
with Kelly's English classes.
You know that story well.
Elver was waking up early for days.
He wanted to know
where Kelly was going so early,
but he hadn't learned anything
because she did the same thing every day.
-[Edgar] The same thing every day?
-[Elver] The same.
She leaves her house. She hails a cab.
She goes to that café Dunky Tunky.
[laughs] She sits at a table,
opens the notebooks and orders a coffee.
She orders that terrible coffee.
-[Edgar] And she sits alone?
-[Elver] Alone.
[Elver] Alone behind a column. Alone.
What Elver didn't say
is that he didn't wait around.
Instead, he went out to buy coffee
from the little old lady outside
because he thought it was great.
He waited out there until she left.
But that day he did see something
that didn't seem normal to him.
[suspenseful music]
[tires squealing]
[car doors opening and closing]
[car door closing]
[in an American accent]
We'll pull words from these bags
and make sentences, okay?
[in English] Take one out.
-Now, repeat after me. "You."
-[in English] You.
Very good.
"Dance."
-[with thick accent] Dance.
-Dance.
-Dance.
-Okay. Better.
You dance sexy.
Sexy.
[in Spanish] Okay, now say it all
in one sentence.
[in English] You dance sexy.
[in English] Very good.
[laughs] You're a fast learner.
[in Spanish] What?
[in Spanish] You learn fast.
Oh yes, I do learn very fast.
Are you telling me
Kelly's English teacher is the consul?
Yeah, didn't I tell you?
They just took out three bags
with three cue cards and studied.
But I didn't understand shit.
Too much technique.
[inhales deeply]
And why are you telling me this, Elver?
Do you want me to believe
it's just a student-teacher relationship?
No, they studied English. [scoffs]
-[liquid pouring]
-But, oh!
Those looks were very sexual.
Why would I tell you they weren't?
I imagine
you're thinking
we'll take the guy out, huh?
[suspenseful music]
So, for that, yeah, you just tell me,
and I'll figure out how to do it.
For now, I just want you to go
and get Kelly and bring her here.
Hmm?
But you're not going to tell her
any of this. Okay?
I don't get it.
That pig turns down your visa,
he takes your girlfriend,
and you're letting him live?
All I said
was that you go and bring Kelly to me.
Now. Hmm?
[louder] Right now.
Don't drink all the whiskey.
[car honks]
He didn't say anything else?
Like what he needed me for or anything?
No.
All he said was,
"Listen. Come on, Elver.
Go get Kelly."
And I don't ask questions.
[in English] And I was
I was
-[in Spanish] How do you say it?
-[in English] Nervous?
You didn't tell your boyfriend
you were taking English classes?
Yes, I did tell him.
But I just didn't tell him
it was with you.
[in English] "With you."
[in Spanish] With you.
[in English] "With you."
Well, there's no problem anyway
because you're a married man
[in English] No, no. I'm not
I'm not married. I'm I'm single.
[Bryan, in Spanish]
Single and unattached.
[in English] For now.
Elver.
You really don't know, like,
why he wants to see me?
Well, when one has a girlfriend,
one wants to see her, right?
[dramatic music]
[Óscar] The truth is that
Edgar was buying time.
He didn't like the consul
teaching Kelly at all.
He was looking for something
to do what he knew best,
blackmail him
and get him out of the way.
[dance music]
BLUE CA
-[Edgar] Hi.
-What's up?
May I know the reason you sent for me?
What happened?
No, nothing.
I just wanted to see you.
[dramatic music]
Okay, and?
How's everything going?
-No, it's all very good.
-Hmm?
The campaign turned out really pretty.
I know you're going to love it.
And the English classes
are going very well.
Okay.
When they give me a campaign photo,
I'll autograph it and give it to you
to hang on the wall.
Why would I want a photo when I have
the original all to myself, huh?
[Kelly stifles a laugh]
I'll do the commercial this week,
if you want to come.
Hey, can we ask for something to eat?
Yes, of course. Juan. Juan
The food menu, buddy.
No, my love, I can't go with you
for the commercial. I have to travel.
-Why? Where?
-I'm going to visit a house in Cali
that I'll be decorating.
But I won't be long.
-I'll tell you as soon as I get back.
-Oh, I didn't know.
I've never been to Cali.
-No?
-No.
Next time, we'll go together.
It's really nice.
Do you mean it?
Well, of course I do. It's a plan.
In the meantime, so you don't miss me,
I'll leave you with this.
So you can buy whatever you want.
One, two, three, four outfits.
Name brands, I hope, okay?
Real pretty. Not from your aunt.
[laughs] She doesn't use a credit card.
[Óscar] So he tricked her.
He convinced her he was going
on a trip so she'd drop her guard
while he made his next move.
CAFÉ DUNKY TUNKY
I didn't request any maintenance.
It clearly says the address here.
If you say you didn't ask
for maintenance, it's no problem.
We have appointments all afternoon.
If that's the case, please,
tell your boss we came,
and you wouldn't let us
No, no, wait. Well, fix it.
Oh, okay. No problem.
[dramatic music]
[Óscar] The next morning,
when Kelly thought
Edgar was traveling,
they continued with the English classes.
-[Kelly] Hello.
-[driver] Good day.
[inaudible dialogue]
Do you hear anything, Edgar?
[Kelly] My life?
[Bryan] Yes.
I want to know about your life.
Want to know everything?
[in English] Everything.
Say what you can in English
and what you can't in Spanish.
Fine. Okay, let's see.
"I born" in a little town called Barranca.
-Do you know it?
-[in English] No, never been.
Okay, well the town very pretty,
but very hot and it has many people.
But all the people have
to stay in the shade
because it's so hot, so hot.
Do you understand?
Um, let's see, there's also a river.
Big river!
It's called Magdalena. Magdalena
Magdalena.
And we used to go there
on the weekends, and we would swim.
And we also used to eat
Oh, what's that called?
We used to eat catfish.
-And
-What's bagre?
-Catfish, the animal.
-[Edgar murmurs]
-The "feese."
-"Fish."
[whispering]
-"Fish."
-I'm telling you, catfish
[Óscar] That's how she began telling him
everything, her childhood in Barranca,
the problems that came up,
her desperate desire to be a model
and her mother's absence.
Yeah, and I call, and call, and that,
"beep, beep, beep, beep." I mean
Say it again.
-"Beep, beep, beep, beep."
-[both laugh]
It's like when it's busy on the other end.
Okay.
I just wanted them
to answer at the station
so they would give me a chance.
You can't imagine how much
I wanted to be a model.
And I got them to answer.
[playful music]
[Óscar] In the days that followed,
Kelly learned words.
And every morning, a bit in English,
a bit in Spanish,
she continued with her story.
She told him
how the casting photos were done,
how Hollman paid for them,
how Nayibe intervened in a robbery
and was wounded,
how she had to accept Hollman
to save her mom's life,
and how she got tired
of him and left.
And why didn't such a pretty woman
with that character
report what they were doing
to her to the police?
Well, I did go.
But they didn't do anything.
[dramatic music]
Never lie to a consul.
What do you mean?
Do you know how many people pass by
my window every day?
[dramatic musical sting]
Why are you traveling
to the United States?
I'm going on a spiritual retreat.
Cultural.
Why am I going? Well, I'm going
to try to pick up a nice chick
to take care of me
because that's hard here.
Look, various types of business.
We're actually in the exploratory phase.
I'm going to visit museums.
In Miami?
[Bryan, in English] Next! Next!
[gasps]
-Thank you.
-[Bryan] Next!
Well, have a nice trip
and good luck with that.
We'll go back and try this again.
Why didn't you go to the police?
[dramatic music]
[dramatic musical sting]
Again! Hit me!
Hit me, and I'll go to the colonel
and tell him what you're doing to me.
Do you think I won't?
You don't scare me.
Go. Go!
Go and tell him whatever you want!
Bro, she's fucking up, she's fucking up.
She'll tell him all of it,
that she shot Hollman,
that she came here after,
that Hollman showed up again
and you killed him.
We killed him. That's how it is.
You gave the order.
This has to stop.
-She can't mention that savagery.
-[Kelly] Because if I handled it wrong,
she was going to have the same luck I did.
I understood it that day.
Besides yelling at me, well
Well, he started to hit me.
He was capable, believe me.
Go and tell him. And also tell him
that this weekend I'm going
to Barranca for your cousin.
It's time Vanessa started
paying me what you all owe me.
-What does she owe you?
-You don't know?
All the money I've been sending
to your mom and aunt this whole time.
For the girl's high school,
for university, and they've paid nothing!
You know what the commander says
when he sees me? "Hey, Hollman,
what did you do to be so lucky?
Huh? I want to have that luck, too."
"Is it money? Because if it's money,
I have that, too."
[dramatic musical sting]
Go. I'll go too if you want.
Tell me when the two of us should go.
Huh? I'll pass the debt on to the colonel.
He can pay it off however he wants.
Go! Go!
And, well, I couldn't let
that happen to Vanessa.
She was just a girl.
She didn't deserve to end up like me.
I had already lost hope in everything,
but not her.
[Kelly] I couldn't allow her
to be forced into marrying someone,
to have to sleep with him,
go to bed with him,
do things she didn't want to do.
Life would've been like that here.
That's why I didn't report it.
And one day I left.
I'm sorry for judging you,
for calling you a liar
and pressuring you.
No, it's okay.
I had to tell someone, anyway.
I had to unburden myself.
But no one knows this,
and no one can know it.
Vanessa has no clue about it.
[in English] Do you want
anything to drink, anything to eat?
Water, thanks.
Just a sec.
[in Spanish] Miss,
two glasses of water, please.
[in English] Hello, my baby.
[Kelly] What are you doing here?
I thought the trip was longer.
[in Spanish] Yes,
it was going to be long,
but I missed you too much
and had to come back to see you.
[dramatic musical sting]
[in English] Beautiful.
How are you, Bryan?
Okay?
-[in English] Everything's fine.
-[laughs]
Your class grew, my friend.
But don't worry.
I'll pay you double. No problem with that.
No, no, but go on. Go ahead.
I don't want to interrupt.
Hmm? I'll listen and catch up.
-[in English] Go, go, go.
-[in English] Should we go on? Yeah?
[in English] Yeah.
-[in Spanish] Elvercito crying over Kelly.
-Mm.
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
I thought thugs didn't cry.
There is so much
you don't know about Elver.
Don't even tell me.
You and I are good here and if you
tell me, we'll surely spoil everything.
[romantic music]
Wait, wait.
-What?
-Instead, why don't
we talk about the calendar?
Because you got excited about Kelly
and didn't tell me
what happened with the calendar.
Fine, but I'm holding you to our deal.
[laughs]
-[camera beeps]
-Ready. Speak.
Okay.
[theme song playing]
Oh, oh!
[inaudible dialogue]
After the model
chosen for the calendar
had the brilliant idea of shaving
her head bald, Shaio had no choice
but to go to her icon,
her high school classmate,
and ask her to do the calendar
with Vanessa.
Shaíto, but how are you going
to tell me like this, last minute?
You know I don't like it this way.
Plus, I just got back from a work trip
and I'm so tired, you can't imagine.
So, Shaio pulled the outstanding bills
out of her files and said,
"Payment due."
[Shaio] Okay, I'll explain my situation.
I'm sitting here with all the equipment.
Everyone is eating
and making money off of me.
I had the photographer,
lights, a producer, the funding.
All ready, all of it.
And the other model, that imbecile,
decides to shave her head?
Oh, and add to that
Grosso rubbing his hands together
with happiness, pure joy
[lowers voice]
because we'll go bankrupt.
I know, but if you had told me
it's next week,
next month, maybe.
[sighs] Pao, when I rolled the dice
and took you to Miss Colombia,
I didn't tell you,
"We'll do this in a year,
or the next year, or the next."
It was all at once.
And look where it got you.
Look, I've never asked you for anything,
but I was the one who saw you as a queen.
I was the one who saw you
as Miss Universe.
Please, don't leave me
hanging on this, okay?
And Shaio dealt her final blow.
Paola, this calendar will be
Miss Universe part two.
I'm seeing it.
The only difference is
that we won't come in second.
We're going to completely nail it.
And this calendar will bring us
the contracts you and I need. Believe me.
[laughs] With a calendar
they hang up in mechanic workshops?
Are you sure? [laughs]
[stifles laughter] The fantasy of any man.
Paola, the queen, the most divine,
the best, in everyone's reach.
Believe me. When I tell you
that even the President of the Republic
will hang that calendar up,
it's because that's how it will be.
I swear.
[stifled laugh] Oh, my God.
-Oh, no. I can't believe it.
-[Nico and Berny clamoring]
[comedic music]
[Nico] Oh, no,
I think you're drowning! Oh!
Hey! What's up with that?
Hey, you're not going to fight now.
[Shaio] Come on. What's this? Nico!
[Berny laughs] See?
You drowned, dude. Okay, enough.
-All right, then. Up high.
-Okay, enough!
No more.
Paola agreed to come.
Yes. We have two days
to organize absolutely everything.
Okay, get out of the pool
and help me get things ready, please.
Berny, I need to talk to you.
-And it's confirmed?
-Yes, it's confirmed. Please, everyone
How'd you convince her?
No, I'll tell you later
what I had to say to her. Help organize.
Get everything ready. You know how it is.
Please, Lau, can you? Thanks?
No, my love. We came here to work.
Hey, but who's going to help me?
I have a cramp.
Yeah, you got it right.
You can't be friends with Nico.
I won't allow it
and I won't put up with it, how's that?
Whoa, one second.
One second, Shaio. Hold on.
Do you not realize
that all this
is so that things remain calm?
So you can work the right way?
It's only out of empathy.
[breathes deeply]
[somber music]
It's an order.
You cannot be friends with Nico.
You cannot be playing
in the pool with him,
giggling with a ball,
giving high-fives, nothing.
Why not? Why? Because I don't measure up,
like your dad said?
Hey, wait. What does
my dad have to do with all this?
That's what he thinks, right?
And it's why he doesn't want me
near you or your family, because
well, because you all will
never accept me.
My dad said that?
It doesn't matter anymore, Shaio.
Here, what matters is
it seems you feel the same way.
That's why you didn't
come to the wedding, right?
That's why you didn't show, right?
It was what you and my dad talked about?
Hmm, well, that's in the past now.
And another important thing is
you're a married woman now,
who has a life,
and, well, I did the same,
I got on with my life.
No, come on.
I know I'm married.
But I don't want you
to get on with your life.
-That's the last straw.
-No, no, no, wait! Sorry.
Okay, I know,
that sounds horrible. [sighs]
I don't want you to get on
with your life without me.
Berny, if you came here
with Andrea Vanessa
to make me jealous,
[sighs] believe me,
you totally succeeded.
If I'm on my feet, it's a pure miracle.
If I haven't drowned her in the pool
it's because she's a model
for my calendar.
But I dream of having a life by your side.
I dream of being with you.
I believe that's not possible
in this life,
and all because you made a decision.
I didn't make a decision.
[instrumental version of "Yo No Sé Mañana"
by Juan M. Medina plays]
No.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
It's too late.
Berny
Don't you realize?
He didn't come,
but because Dad talked to him.
Shaio, please,
don't start complaining about Dad.
No. Do you realize what I'm saying?
He didn't come to the church
because Dad threatened him, Lau.
Again!
Threatened him with what?
I don't know, something he told him.
But that's why he didn't come.
Shaio, the fact is that Berny didn't come.
Now, you're married to Nicolás
No, the fact is that Berny still loves me.
I thought he left me
because he didn't have feelings for me,
didn't love me and
You don't know what I'm feeling.
Okay, Shaio, back to Earth. Do you really
think he has time to think about you?
Shaio, enough. Okay?
Start seeing Nicolás's good side,
the mature side, all the stuff
you can't see on the surface.
That's impossible.
Plus,
that's not what I felt when we kissed.
[gasps]
[shushes]
So, you're telling me
that you kissed down there
with Nicolás in the pool?
Well, it wasn't exactly like that.
Let's say I kissed him.
Yes. I gave him a little kiss.
He didn't say no.
We did it again and, oh,
Laura, I'm dying for that man.
-I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying.
-Shaio, I'm begging you.
Please. No more.
You are married to Nicolás.
This is the time to regain your dignity,
Shaio. What's going on with you?
The issue is not dignity, Lau.
Yes, the issue is dignity.
And not even Paola Turbay
will help us get it back. Get to work.
-Come on.
-[slurps]
-[laughs]
-Mm.
It's good.
The next day,
Paola arrived in town
to do the calendar
as she was,
the queen of the Colombians.
[stifles laughter]
Come on.
-Mm-hmm. Mm.
-Mm.
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
[laughter]
[cheers and applause]
[upbeat traditional music]
[Paola] Hello! Oh, how beautiful.
Oh, what lovely people.
Oh, what a welcome. Your name?
Thank you, my love.
Calm down. Thank you.
Thanks for the support. Thank you.
Thank you, everyone! Thank you, my loves!
Hello.
-[inaudible]
-Oh, yes, thank you so much. I love it.
[both] Paola.
Oh, look at her. So divine.
-[Laura] Beautiful!
-It's just what one does for her friends.
[Paola] Divine Laurita.
I don't know how I'm going to thank you.
Just kidding, I know. You know what?
I will tell you that
you're not going to regret it.
Oh, I love seeing you.
-Oh, thank you.
-You know I love you.
No, I know. How about it?
Is she not the best?
Beautiful!
-[applause]
-How did it go?
Very well. Didn't you hear the noise?
-Of course. That's how I knew you arrived.
-They love me, so it doesn't matter.
-Do you need anything?
-Yes, something.
-Something to eat.
-Yes? Something to drink?
Yes, because you're so divine
[Shaio] Always so divine, yeah?
[Shaio] I'm happy that you're here.
[Agustín] That's divine.
Divine.
[Agustín] October.
Yes, here, a little more.
Give in to the breeze. A little more.
Damn, come on. What's the deal?
You won't speak to me clearly.
I don't get what you're saying.
Sorry to be so frank, but that's how I am.
I don't need to know
much more about Edgar. Asset laundering,
trafficking cocaine.
What I can't manage to figure out is why
a woman like you is with a man like him.

[upbeat dance music]
[inaudible dialogue]
We're wrapping up now.
-[Elenita] In the van there.
-[Óscar] I'm going, I'm going.
Ow! Hey, man! What?
Kid, respect your boss.
This isn't a family cookout.
What's wrong with you?
This is a professional production.
No one can ever top you, can they?
Move it. Move.
Can you explain to me how that lame-o
became our producer
when he doesn't lift a finger?
When he put up all the money to do it?
-Ah, thanks so much.
-Elenita, why hasn't Samira arrived?
I just called her. She left the apartment
but she had to make a stop first.
Shaio nailed it all.
That Berny and Vanessa
booked the same hotel.
The reservation should be under
Andrea Vanessa López Sepúlveda
and Bernardo Pichón.
[receptionist] Okay, I'm checking.
Yes, of course. There are two rooms.
No, we'll just be staying in one.
[receptionist] And which room
would you prefer?
Let's see, where will
Shaio Domínguez be staying?
[receptionist] Shaio, looking now.
Um, here it is, the suite.
-Okay, the one next to it.
-[receptionist] All right.
-Three forty-six.
-Thanks.
[receptionist] You're welcome.
[Óscar] Honeymoon,
calendar shoot in Melgar, all set.
They put everything in the van
and assigned places.
There was only one detail left,
the other model.
[dramatic music]
[Elenita gasps] Oh, my blessed God.
Oh, my blessed God, she
Forgive me for being late.
I was getting ready.
[Elenita] Oh, no.
My God. This can't be real.
[Óscar] They hired a total Martian, huh?
[Elenita] Oh, my girls.
Hello, darlings.
[Elenita] Bold.
But if I look divine,
I don't understand what the problem is.
The problem is that one asks.
We already paid for everything.
What were you thinking
changing your look before a project?
One has to ask.
Do you really think you can
do a calendar like this?
Yes, I think so.
And Grosso thinks so, too.
Incredible, Samira. Grosso.
Get out of here.
[tense music]
Leave. Don't you understand?
No. You can't do that to me.
I need this contract.
Well, how about if Grosso hires you, hmm?
Sound good to you?
But I do want to tell you
one little thing before you go.
You lost the chance of your life
to be famous.
You're no one, and that's how it'll stay.
You can leave.
[dramatic musical sting]
[Moni sighs] Now what?
No, that was a favor. No, I'm serious.
Think about it.
We would've done a calendar
with one divine model, yes,
but that nobody knew.
It has to be different.
What we're going to do
is a calendar with two superstars.
That's why this calendar will be news.
[theme song playing]
Did you tell Paola Turbay
this is the Cancún of South America?
And to bring a gallon of repellent.
Oh no, the repellent.
I hope Shaio brought some
because I forgot.
-Did you bring any?
-No. Nothing bites me.
It's all a question of attitude.
-[comedic music]
-[Laura laughs]
[sighs]
Talk to me about attitude
when we're in the river tomorrow.
Hey, kid.
-[bellhop] Yes, sir?
-Important question.
There are no bats here or anything, right?
-No little bats get in? Nothing?
-None of that, sir.
But we recommend you firmly
close the balcony door, please.
Likewise, for any questions
you can dial 102.
If there's nothing else
-Thanks. I'll see you out.
-Thanks a lot. Excuse me.
-Dial 102.
-[Shaio] Thank you.
Anything at all. Perfect.
You were very kind. Be well.
It was a pleasure. Here to help.
Ah.
[laughs] Ah, the tip.
Of course. I figured.
Um
My Shaíto, my little heart?
Hmm?
[Nico] My love,
do you happen to have any cash?
What's your name?
-Jairo, ma'am.
-Jairo.
-Okay, thanks so much.
-Same to you.
A pleasure to help you.
I hope you have a nice stay.
[tense music]
Good afternoon.
-Hi.
-Good afternoon.
I had no idea
we were staying at the same hotel
as the Mr. G-string contestants.
Ooh, they're here!
I thought they made us
change hotels for the fun of it.
What's up?
They told me we leave early tomorrow,
so we're going to go to the pool.
Excuse us.
Be careful with the sun, okay?
And the bugs, they could bite you.
[Nico] Shaio, come here, please. Shaio!
I want you to tell me the truth.
I mean, I don't even want to imagine
that you changed the entire honeymoon
just to follow Berny.
Now
Please, let's not start like this, okay?
We're here, the two of us, alone.
You and I.
We're going to make
a spectacular calendar,
in which you're a partner.
Let's not get upset thinking
about things that aren't happening.
Yes, love. You're totally right.
We won't get upset.
We're finally married,
and that's never going to change.
Never.
-Never. But
-[moans softly]
now that we're, well, here,
I think we should get on with it, right?
-What we came here for.
-[exhales]
Here goes.
Hey, no!
[sensual music]
Why don't we go slow, okay?
Like, romantic. I don't know.
Uh, romantic.
Uh
Do we light candles,
or what are we going for?
The idiot started doing
what he thought was the world championship
of sensuality and romanticism.
[Óscar] He ran his tongue
over every inch of Shaio's skin.
He became a kissing cat.
Over every inch.
Over every inch of skin smeared
with odorless and colorless insecticide.
[exaggerated kisses]
[sensual music]
-[Vanessa breathes heavily]
-[knocking at the door]
Help!
[Shaio] Open up!
-[Berny] What happened?
-Excuse me.
So sorry to interrupt,
but I've been calling the infirmary.
They won't answer.
I need a doctor. Nicolás isn't well.
-But what happened?
-I don't know.
I think it was
an allergic reaction to the repellant.
Berny, he was vomiting in the bathroom
and fainted. Berny, please help me.
Come on. Let's go.
[music grows more intense]
INFIRMARY
-Open up!
-[bangs on door] Open up, please!
-[Berny] Open up, bro.
-[medic] Yes, lay him there.
[grunts]
What happened? What's wrong?
He's dehydrated and possibly intoxicated.
And he's also weak because a few days ago
he donated bone marrow to my dad.
So, we need to call an ambulance
and notify them.
Here.
-[grunts]
-Hmm.
Here it is.
They have him on IV fluids now.
He'll be fine. Okay?
Thanks.
Berny, I want to ask you something.
There's nothing between
Andrea Vanessa and me.
You can think what you want.
Right now, I'm not in any shape
to be with anyone.
[instrumental version of "Yo No Sé Mañana"
by Juan M. Medina plays]
-No, me neither.
-You just went to a church
with someone,
and walked up to the altar
to say, "I agree to be with you
for the rest of my life,
-in good times and bad."
-Yes, but no.
I don't want to.
It's madness that can't go on.
I did it because
I didn't know what else to do.
Because you didn't go through with it.
You never showed up at that church,
after you told me a thousand times.
Didn't you mean it?
-No. You didn't do it.
-But it was never going to work
because your family would have
made your life hell.
Maybe in the beginning, yes.
But they would get used to it.
-[Shaio] Everyone gets used to it.
-I don't think so.
Really.
And the price you had to pay was too high.
And you think I'm not paying
a high price now?
Being married to someone
when you don't love them?
[instrumental version of "Yo No Sé Mañana"
by Juan M. Medina continues]
What happens if
we do this job, and I speak to my dad?
What happens if we run away
like we always planned?
Shaio.
Didn't Nico just donate
marrow to your dad?
Don't you think he deserves
a little respect from you?
Obviously, yes.
And I will be eternally grateful
to Nico for that.
But it's my life, Berny.
I have to find a way to be happy.
-This isn't about respect
-This is about selfishness.
Yours, because you're only
thinking about yourself
and what you want and what's good for you.
I don't think I could've donated
marrow to your dad.
-You hate my dad.
-I don't hate your dad.
But it does make me realize one thing.
They never would've
accepted me in your family.
What are you talking about?
I just want you to know that,
if Shaio doesn't show at the wedding,
if she doesn't get married
and she exposes us in front of everyone,
my friends, my family,
I'm going to get sick.
I'm going to die much more quickly.
And the funeral will come.
And Shaio won't be able to be there
because she won't have the nerve
to explain to everyone
why she fell for a trainer at a gym
and dumped her lifelong boyfriend.
Why she let everyone in on it,
and killed her dad,
and without a doubt
mortally wounded her mom.
That's blackmail.
A low form of blackmail,
and you know it.
Why is Shaio going to catch
the blame if you die?
That's not fair. It's disgraceful.
The really important thing here
is that Shaio and I are in love.
Do you know what love is?
You have no idea.
To love, one needs dignity.
And you know nothing about that.
Don't be naive.
Look, Mr. Joaquín,
I might not know what love is,
but if we're talking about dignity,
you don't have any, either.
[somber music]
Excuse me.
Your family will never see me
as an equal, like they see Nico.
Not me or my mom.
So we could never have been a family.
And Andrea Vanessa, yes?
Right? Andrea Vanessa's up to par?
Let me tell you one thing, Berny.
In a couple of weeks,
when that calendar's ready,
Andrea Vanessa will be more famous
than she already is.
And this country's richest,
most powerful, most famous men
will want to be with her,
and they'll tell you to go to hell.
[laughs softly]
That might be so.
It will happen.
But do you know what?
She'll look me in the face
when she tells me,
like an equal,
not thinking she's superior,
like your family.
Try to be happy with your husband.
Okay?
Since it seems like he's not
as bad of a person as we thought.
[somber music]
[stifled yell]
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
[birds chittering]
Tell what happened
with Kelly's English classes.
You know that story well.
Elver was waking up early for days.
He wanted to know
where Kelly was going so early,
but he hadn't learned anything
because she did the same thing every day.
-[Edgar] The same thing every day?
-[Elver] The same.
She leaves her house. She hails a cab.
She goes to that café Dunky Tunky.
[laughs] She sits at a table,
opens the notebooks and orders a coffee.
She orders that terrible coffee.
-[Edgar] And she sits alone?
-[Elver] Alone.
[Elver] Alone behind a column. Alone.
What Elver didn't say
is that he didn't wait around.
Instead, he went out to buy coffee
from the little old lady outside
because he thought it was great.
He waited out there until she left.
But that day he did see something
that didn't seem normal to him.
[suspenseful music]
[tires squealing]
[car doors opening and closing]
[car door closing]
[in an American accent]
We'll pull words from these bags
and make sentences, okay?
[in English] Take one out.
-Now, repeat after me. "You."
-[in English] You.
Very good.
"Dance."
-[with thick accent] Dance.
-Dance.
-Dance.
-Okay. Better.
You dance sexy.
Sexy.
[in Spanish] Okay, now say it all
in one sentence.
[in English] You dance sexy.
[in English] Very good.
[laughs] You're a fast learner.
[in Spanish] What?
[in Spanish] You learn fast.
Oh yes, I do learn very fast.
Are you telling me
Kelly's English teacher is the consul?
Yeah, didn't I tell you?
They just took out three bags
with three cue cards and studied.
But I didn't understand shit.
Too much technique.
[inhales deeply]
And why are you telling me this, Elver?
Do you want me to believe
it's just a student-teacher relationship?
No, they studied English. [scoffs]
-[liquid pouring]
-But, oh!
Those looks were very sexual.
Why would I tell you they weren't?
I imagine
you're thinking
we'll take the guy out, huh?
[suspenseful music]
So, for that, yeah, you just tell me,
and I'll figure out how to do it.
For now, I just want you to go
and get Kelly and bring her here.
Hmm?
But you're not going to tell her
any of this. Okay?
I don't get it.
That pig turns down your visa,
he takes your girlfriend,
and you're letting him live?
All I said
was that you go and bring Kelly to me.
Now. Hmm?
[louder] Right now.
Don't drink all the whiskey.
[car honks]
He didn't say anything else?
Like what he needed me for or anything?
No.
All he said was,
"Listen. Come on, Elver.
Go get Kelly."
And I don't ask questions.
[in English] And I was
I was
-[in Spanish] How do you say it?
-[in English] Nervous?
You didn't tell your boyfriend
you were taking English classes?
Yes, I did tell him.
But I just didn't tell him
it was with you.
[in English] "With you."
[in Spanish] With you.
[in English] "With you."
Well, there's no problem anyway
because you're a married man
[in English] No, no. I'm not
I'm not married. I'm I'm single.
[Bryan, in Spanish]
Single and unattached.
[in English] For now.
Elver.
You really don't know, like,
why he wants to see me?
Well, when one has a girlfriend,
one wants to see her, right?
[dramatic music]
[Óscar] The truth is that
Edgar was buying time.
He didn't like the consul
teaching Kelly at all.
He was looking for something
to do what he knew best,
blackmail him
and get him out of the way.
[dance music]
BLUE CA
-[Edgar] Hi.
-What's up?
May I know the reason you sent for me?
What happened?
No, nothing.
I just wanted to see you.
[dramatic music]
Okay, and?
How's everything going?
-No, it's all very good.
-Hmm?
The campaign turned out really pretty.
I know you're going to love it.
And the English classes
are going very well.
Okay.
When they give me a campaign photo,
I'll autograph it and give it to you
to hang on the wall.
Why would I want a photo when I have
the original all to myself, huh?
[Kelly stifles a laugh]
I'll do the commercial this week,
if you want to come.
Hey, can we ask for something to eat?
Yes, of course. Juan. Juan
The food menu, buddy.
No, my love, I can't go with you
for the commercial. I have to travel.
-Why? Where?
-I'm going to visit a house in Cali
that I'll be decorating.
But I won't be long.
-I'll tell you as soon as I get back.
-Oh, I didn't know.
I've never been to Cali.
-No?
-No.
Next time, we'll go together.
It's really nice.
Do you mean it?
Well, of course I do. It's a plan.
In the meantime, so you don't miss me,
I'll leave you with this.
So you can buy whatever you want.
One, two, three, four outfits.
Name brands, I hope, okay?
Real pretty. Not from your aunt.
[laughs] She doesn't use a credit card.
[Óscar] So he tricked her.
He convinced her he was going
on a trip so she'd drop her guard
while he made his next move.
CAFÉ DUNKY TUNKY
I didn't request any maintenance.
It clearly says the address here.
If you say you didn't ask
for maintenance, it's no problem.
We have appointments all afternoon.
If that's the case, please,
tell your boss we came,
and you wouldn't let us
No, no, wait. Well, fix it.
Oh, okay. No problem.
[dramatic music]
[Óscar] The next morning,
when Kelly thought
Edgar was traveling,
they continued with the English classes.
-[Kelly] Hello.
-[driver] Good day.
[inaudible dialogue]
Do you hear anything, Edgar?
[Kelly] My life?
[Bryan] Yes.
I want to know about your life.
Want to know everything?
[in English] Everything.
Say what you can in English
and what you can't in Spanish.
Fine. Okay, let's see.
"I born" in a little town called Barranca.
-Do you know it?
-[in English] No, never been.
Okay, well the town very pretty,
but very hot and it has many people.
But all the people have
to stay in the shade
because it's so hot, so hot.
Do you understand?
Um, let's see, there's also a river.
Big river!
It's called Magdalena. Magdalena
Magdalena.
And we used to go there
on the weekends, and we would swim.
And we also used to eat
Oh, what's that called?
We used to eat catfish.
-And
-What's bagre?
-Catfish, the animal.
-[Edgar murmurs]
-The "feese."
-"Fish."
[whispering]
-"Fish."
-I'm telling you, catfish
[Óscar] That's how she began telling him
everything, her childhood in Barranca,
the problems that came up,
her desperate desire to be a model
and her mother's absence.
Yeah, and I call, and call, and that,
"beep, beep, beep, beep." I mean
Say it again.
-"Beep, beep, beep, beep."
-[both laugh]
It's like when it's busy on the other end.
Okay.
I just wanted them
to answer at the station
so they would give me a chance.
You can't imagine how much
I wanted to be a model.
And I got them to answer.
[playful music]
[Óscar] In the days that followed,
Kelly learned words.
And every morning, a bit in English,
a bit in Spanish,
she continued with her story.
She told him
how the casting photos were done,
how Hollman paid for them,
how Nayibe intervened in a robbery
and was wounded,
how she had to accept Hollman
to save her mom's life,
and how she got tired
of him and left.
And why didn't such a pretty woman
with that character
report what they were doing
to her to the police?
Well, I did go.
But they didn't do anything.
[dramatic music]
Never lie to a consul.
What do you mean?
Do you know how many people pass by
my window every day?
[dramatic musical sting]
Why are you traveling
to the United States?
I'm going on a spiritual retreat.
Cultural.
Why am I going? Well, I'm going
to try to pick up a nice chick
to take care of me
because that's hard here.
Look, various types of business.
We're actually in the exploratory phase.
I'm going to visit museums.
In Miami?
[Bryan, in English] Next! Next!
[gasps]
-Thank you.
-[Bryan] Next!
Well, have a nice trip
and good luck with that.
We'll go back and try this again.
Why didn't you go to the police?
[dramatic music]
[dramatic musical sting]
Again! Hit me!
Hit me, and I'll go to the colonel
and tell him what you're doing to me.
Do you think I won't?
You don't scare me.
Go. Go!
Go and tell him whatever you want!
Bro, she's fucking up, she's fucking up.
She'll tell him all of it,
that she shot Hollman,
that she came here after,
that Hollman showed up again
and you killed him.
We killed him. That's how it is.
You gave the order.
This has to stop.
-She can't mention that savagery.
-[Kelly] Because if I handled it wrong,
she was going to have the same luck I did.
I understood it that day.
Besides yelling at me, well
Well, he started to hit me.
He was capable, believe me.
Go and tell him. And also tell him
that this weekend I'm going
to Barranca for your cousin.
It's time Vanessa started
paying me what you all owe me.
-What does she owe you?
-You don't know?
All the money I've been sending
to your mom and aunt this whole time.
For the girl's high school,
for university, and they've paid nothing!
You know what the commander says
when he sees me? "Hey, Hollman,
what did you do to be so lucky?
Huh? I want to have that luck, too."
"Is it money? Because if it's money,
I have that, too."
[dramatic musical sting]
Go. I'll go too if you want.
Tell me when the two of us should go.
Huh? I'll pass the debt on to the colonel.
He can pay it off however he wants.
Go! Go!
And, well, I couldn't let
that happen to Vanessa.
She was just a girl.
She didn't deserve to end up like me.
I had already lost hope in everything,
but not her.
[Kelly] I couldn't allow her
to be forced into marrying someone,
to have to sleep with him,
go to bed with him,
do things she didn't want to do.
Life would've been like that here.
That's why I didn't report it.
And one day I left.
I'm sorry for judging you,
for calling you a liar
and pressuring you.
No, it's okay.
I had to tell someone, anyway.
I had to unburden myself.
But no one knows this,
and no one can know it.
Vanessa has no clue about it.
[in English] Do you want
anything to drink, anything to eat?
Water, thanks.
Just a sec.
[in Spanish] Miss,
two glasses of water, please.
[in English] Hello, my baby.
[Kelly] What are you doing here?
I thought the trip was longer.
[in Spanish] Yes,
it was going to be long,
but I missed you too much
and had to come back to see you.
[dramatic musical sting]
[in English] Beautiful.
How are you, Bryan?
Okay?
-[in English] Everything's fine.
-[laughs]
Your class grew, my friend.
But don't worry.
I'll pay you double. No problem with that.
No, no, but go on. Go ahead.
I don't want to interrupt.
Hmm? I'll listen and catch up.
-[in English] Go, go, go.
-[in English] Should we go on? Yeah?
[in English] Yeah.
-[in Spanish] Elvercito crying over Kelly.
-Mm.
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
I thought thugs didn't cry.
There is so much
you don't know about Elver.
Don't even tell me.
You and I are good here and if you
tell me, we'll surely spoil everything.
[romantic music]
Wait, wait.
-What?
-Instead, why don't
we talk about the calendar?
Because you got excited about Kelly
and didn't tell me
what happened with the calendar.
Fine, but I'm holding you to our deal.
[laughs]
-[camera beeps]
-Ready. Speak.
Okay.
[theme song playing]
Oh, oh!
[inaudible dialogue]
After the model
chosen for the calendar
had the brilliant idea of shaving
her head bald, Shaio had no choice
but to go to her icon,
her high school classmate,
and ask her to do the calendar
with Vanessa.
Shaíto, but how are you going
to tell me like this, last minute?
You know I don't like it this way.
Plus, I just got back from a work trip
and I'm so tired, you can't imagine.
So, Shaio pulled the outstanding bills
out of her files and said,
"Payment due."
[Shaio] Okay, I'll explain my situation.
I'm sitting here with all the equipment.
Everyone is eating
and making money off of me.
I had the photographer,
lights, a producer, the funding.
All ready, all of it.
And the other model, that imbecile,
decides to shave her head?
Oh, and add to that
Grosso rubbing his hands together
with happiness, pure joy
[lowers voice]
because we'll go bankrupt.
I know, but if you had told me
it's next week,
next month, maybe.
[sighs] Pao, when I rolled the dice
and took you to Miss Colombia,
I didn't tell you,
"We'll do this in a year,
or the next year, or the next."
It was all at once.
And look where it got you.
Look, I've never asked you for anything,
but I was the one who saw you as a queen.
I was the one who saw you
as Miss Universe.
Please, don't leave me
hanging on this, okay?
And Shaio dealt her final blow.
Paola, this calendar will be
Miss Universe part two.
I'm seeing it.
The only difference is
that we won't come in second.
We're going to completely nail it.
And this calendar will bring us
the contracts you and I need. Believe me.
[laughs] With a calendar
they hang up in mechanic workshops?
Are you sure? [laughs]
[stifles laughter] The fantasy of any man.
Paola, the queen, the most divine,
the best, in everyone's reach.
Believe me. When I tell you
that even the President of the Republic
will hang that calendar up,
it's because that's how it will be.
I swear.
[stifled laugh] Oh, my God.
-Oh, no. I can't believe it.
-[Nico and Berny clamoring]
[comedic music]
[Nico] Oh, no,
I think you're drowning! Oh!
Hey! What's up with that?
Hey, you're not going to fight now.
[Shaio] Come on. What's this? Nico!
[Berny laughs] See?
You drowned, dude. Okay, enough.
-All right, then. Up high.
-Okay, enough!
No more.
Paola agreed to come.
Yes. We have two days
to organize absolutely everything.
Okay, get out of the pool
and help me get things ready, please.
Berny, I need to talk to you.
-And it's confirmed?
-Yes, it's confirmed. Please, everyone
How'd you convince her?
No, I'll tell you later
what I had to say to her. Help organize.
Get everything ready. You know how it is.
Please, Lau, can you? Thanks?
No, my love. We came here to work.
Hey, but who's going to help me?
I have a cramp.
Yeah, you got it right.
You can't be friends with Nico.
I won't allow it
and I won't put up with it, how's that?
Whoa, one second.
One second, Shaio. Hold on.
Do you not realize
that all this
is so that things remain calm?
So you can work the right way?
It's only out of empathy.
[breathes deeply]
[somber music]
It's an order.
You cannot be friends with Nico.
You cannot be playing
in the pool with him,
giggling with a ball,
giving high-fives, nothing.
Why not? Why? Because I don't measure up,
like your dad said?
Hey, wait. What does
my dad have to do with all this?
That's what he thinks, right?
And it's why he doesn't want me
near you or your family, because
well, because you all will
never accept me.
My dad said that?
It doesn't matter anymore, Shaio.
Here, what matters is
it seems you feel the same way.
That's why you didn't
come to the wedding, right?
That's why you didn't show, right?
It was what you and my dad talked about?
Hmm, well, that's in the past now.
And another important thing is
you're a married woman now,
who has a life,
and, well, I did the same,
I got on with my life.
No, come on.
I know I'm married.
But I don't want you
to get on with your life.
-That's the last straw.
-No, no, no, wait! Sorry.
Okay, I know,
that sounds horrible. [sighs]
I don't want you to get on
with your life without me.
Berny, if you came here
with Andrea Vanessa
to make me jealous,
[sighs] believe me,
you totally succeeded.
If I'm on my feet, it's a pure miracle.
If I haven't drowned her in the pool
it's because she's a model
for my calendar.
But I dream of having a life by your side.
I dream of being with you.
I believe that's not possible
in this life,
and all because you made a decision.
I didn't make a decision.
[instrumental version of "Yo No Sé Mañana"
by Juan M. Medina plays]
No.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
It's too late.
Berny
Don't you realize?
He didn't come,
but because Dad talked to him.
Shaio, please,
don't start complaining about Dad.
No. Do you realize what I'm saying?
He didn't come to the church
because Dad threatened him, Lau.
Again!
Threatened him with what?
I don't know, something he told him.
But that's why he didn't come.
Shaio, the fact is that Berny didn't come.
Now, you're married to Nicolás
No, the fact is that Berny still loves me.
I thought he left me
because he didn't have feelings for me,
didn't love me and
You don't know what I'm feeling.
Okay, Shaio, back to Earth. Do you really
think he has time to think about you?
Shaio, enough. Okay?
Start seeing Nicolás's good side,
the mature side, all the stuff
you can't see on the surface.
That's impossible.
Plus,
that's not what I felt when we kissed.
[gasps]
[shushes]
So, you're telling me
that you kissed down there
with Nicolás in the pool?
Well, it wasn't exactly like that.
Let's say I kissed him.
Yes. I gave him a little kiss.
He didn't say no.
We did it again and, oh,
Laura, I'm dying for that man.
-I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying.
-Shaio, I'm begging you.
Please. No more.
You are married to Nicolás.
This is the time to regain your dignity,
Shaio. What's going on with you?
The issue is not dignity, Lau.
Yes, the issue is dignity.
And not even Paola Turbay
will help us get it back. Get to work.
-Come on.
-[slurps]
-[laughs]
-Mm.
It's good.
The next day,
Paola arrived in town
to do the calendar
as she was,
the queen of the Colombians.
[stifles laughter]
Come on.
-Mm-hmm. Mm.
-Mm.
OUTSKIRTS OF BOGOTÁ
[laughter]
[cheers and applause]
[upbeat traditional music]
[Paola] Hello! Oh, how beautiful.
Oh, what lovely people.
Oh, what a welcome. Your name?
Thank you, my love.
Calm down. Thank you.
Thanks for the support. Thank you.
Thank you, everyone! Thank you, my loves!
Hello.
-[inaudible]
-Oh, yes, thank you so much. I love it.
[both] Paola.
Oh, look at her. So divine.
-[Laura] Beautiful!
-It's just what one does for her friends.
[Paola] Divine Laurita.
I don't know how I'm going to thank you.
Just kidding, I know. You know what?
I will tell you that
you're not going to regret it.
Oh, I love seeing you.
-Oh, thank you.
-You know I love you.
No, I know. How about it?
Is she not the best?
Beautiful!
-[applause]
-How did it go?
Very well. Didn't you hear the noise?
-Of course. That's how I knew you arrived.
-They love me, so it doesn't matter.
-Do you need anything?
-Yes, something.
-Something to eat.
-Yes? Something to drink?
Yes, because you're so divine
[Shaio] Always so divine, yeah?
[Shaio] I'm happy that you're here.
[Agustín] That's divine.
Divine.
[Agustín] October.
Yes, here, a little more.
Give in to the breeze. A little more.
Damn, come on. What's the deal?
You won't speak to me clearly.
I don't get what you're saying.
Sorry to be so frank, but that's how I am.
I don't need to know
much more about Edgar. Asset laundering,
trafficking cocaine.
What I can't manage to figure out is why
a woman like you is with a man like him.
