[pensive music playing]
[gasps] Did you hear anything?
[indistinct chatter]
[tsks]
[line ringing]
[on voicemail] This is Jimena Lemus'
phone. Please leave a message.
[phone lock clicks]
Anybody heard from her?
No, nothing.
Let's go ahead and cancel
on Mr. Aranguren, and reschedule.
Where are you, Jimena?
Is Jimena over there with you, Matías?
She hasn't been answering her phone.
No, did you call her house, or her dad's?
Everybody's answer is the same.
We had talked this morning,
but now she's a no-show
with a scheduled client. No way.
Something must have happened.
Jimena wouldn't do something like that.
-Yes, I know.
-I'll go there now.
What did you do, Matías?
I just talked to the investors
you told me about.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24
-[phones ringing]
-[phone lock clicks]
[pensive music continues]
[line ringing]
[breathes deeply]
[woman] Aw, such cute kids.
It would be such a shame
if anything happened to their mom,
all because of someone else's mistake.
[breathing shakily]
I really don't like surprises.
They make me super nervous.
And when I get super nervous,
usually, bad things will happen.
You don't want anything bad
to happen, now do you?
[music ends]
[theme song playing]
THE MANNY
-[wrench squeaking]
-[straining]
A little bird told me that
someone didn't bathe today.
-Whoa! Hey!
-You have to bathe every day.
If you don't,
you're going to stink like a skunk.
-No, hey!
-No?
-What was it?
-No, that's not fair. Give it to me.
-No.
-[both laughing]
You're getting me soaked.
[grunts] Hey.
[playful music playing]
[phone ringing]
-[Violeta] Hmm.
-[sighs]
-I'll murder you.
-I know, I know, I'm sorry.
[Violeta grunting]
[exhales]
Hey, what's up, Brenda?
I hope you're calling to tell me
our financing's been approved.
Actually, Gaby,
have you heard from Jimena?
She's missing at the moment.
No. Last time I saw her was when she came
and got Leo yesterday afternoon.
You think she might have had
a car accident?
I spoke to her this morning,
but she's not answering,
and Matías doesn't know where she's at.
If you talk to her,
can you let me know right away?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
All right. Enough cell phones.
Where were we?
[both chuckling]
[Gabriel moaning]
-Inhale
-[both inhaling deeply]
-Exhale. Hmm.
-[both exhaling]
[inhaling deeply]
-Exhale.
-We have to tell Santiago, Sofía, and Leo.
Honestly, I'm not sure
how they'll take this.
Baby, they're going to be cool with it.
Okay? Just relax. [inhaling]
-Exhale.
-[phone line ringing]
[Joaquín on phone] Hello? Hi, Brenda.
Sorry to bother you,
but can I talk to Jimena?
I have an issue that's life-or-death.
The reason I brought you here is
because someone hacked the mainframe
that we share with your company.
Uh, there's information you should hear
regarding the intruder, P-Perrusk
Perla. Forgive me. Perla.
There you go. Say it again.
"Perruski."
It's a nickname I love,
that I chose myself,
so that everyone knows
that I'm capable of hurting them.
You should learn to use terror,
now that you're president
of your own company.
Um, yes, yes. I will take it into account.
Thanks for letting me know.
[line ringing]
This is Jimena Lemus' phone.
Please leave a message.
What's the matter? What is that face for?
It's just Jimena's not answering
her cell phone,
and no one knows where she is.
Maybe she wants to be off the grid.
Come on.
Don't worry. I'm sure she's all right.
-Come on, look.
-At what?
You'll have to come and take a look, okay?
Okay, let's see.
Ta-da!
Oh! [laughs]
-Are you serious?
-Yes, yes, yes.
It's happening! It's happening!
-Mmm. [laughs]
-It's happening!
Can you explain to me
what happened to you?
[inhales deeply]
The alarms in my head started
to go off when a certain
Matías Zermeño called my phone
various times, almost on repeat.
Later on, this Matías person
accessed my data servers
utilizing your financial institution's
credentials.
Yeah, okay. Um
Ma Matías and I are planning
to get married very soon.
So, as you can imagine, I find Matías
to be completely trustworthy.
Mm-hmm.
But, maybe, I don't know,
he was trying to look for, um
I don't know,
someone else's information by mistake
and got confused and accessed
the platform by well, by accident.
Jimena,
you're a woman I like very much.
It's mutual.
I assure you it goes both ways.
However, I'm going to ask,
in clear and decisive words,
the next time your company
needs anything at all,
like my finances or whatever,
you can have it.
But first come straight to me.
I'll only be giving information to you.
I assure you I'm gonna make sure
this never happens again,
and I promise you that we're going to
increase the security measures
for the online platform.
That's great.
[bell ringing]
[bell thuds on table]
Artemio, do you mind giving
our guest here a ride?
He'll take you wherever. Hmm?
Ah, okay. Much appreciated.
Yes, yes. I'll just be going.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
[inhales deeply]
[exhales sharply]
Thank you, um, very much.
Uh, good talk.
[birds chirping]
[exhales deeply]
Matías, I told you,
Perla Salgado was untouchable.
Honey, please.
You really had me worried about you.
Then explain to me
why you can't stop going over my head.
I had already reached out to Perla.
It was long before you told me not to.
She never answered,
so how could she know it was me?
That's exactly my point.
She has eyes and ears everywhere.
You accessed her information
without even telling me.
Well, yes, sweetheart,
but only because she wasn't answering.
What part of "don't go over my head"
did you not understand?
-[pensive music playing]
-[sighs]
[sighs]
-Sweetheart
-Hmm.
I swear, I haven't done anything
since the last time that we spoke.
I need to tell you something
straight from the heart.
Nobody here knows who I am.
Nobody trusts in me.
No one would take me seriously
without your support.
Everyone respects you, especially me.
I need you to help me if you can.
You know, I'm not accustomed to relying
on anyone else at work like this.
I only went over your head
for that reason.
Because I wanted to show you
I could pull my weight.
But you're right. You're the one
that should've talked to them.
Now can I tell you something?
-Mm-hmm.
-You won't get mad?
We'll see.
Perla's profile is the perfect fit
to make her an investor in this project.
On her own, and with all that money.
We could finance the whole project,
my love.
She kidnapped me.
So Perla is a no.
Really, Matías,
Perla has a casino business,
but it's a nightmare for accounting.
The only reason she's even a client
is thanks to Rogelio.
Can you guess why I didn't want
to sever the relationship?
Because I didn't wanna
get in trouble with her.
Perla, she's got these tentacles
that reach down
into the deepest, darkest places.
And don't forget, she's paranoid.
So, yeah, I mean
Perla's a no.
-No way.
-Period.
[chuckles, inhales deeply]
Do you realize this is the first fight
we've had as a couple?
-[chuckles]
-Hmm?
Where did that come from?
Well, they say a couple
isn't a real couple
until they've had their first fight.
[chuckles]
[romantic music playing]
Now, my future bride-to-be,
how about a kiss?
Here?
Right here.
[music continues]
I need you to please tell Gabriel
to send us the requirements
to fill out the application.
I mean, if he wants us
to give him his loan.
Girl, you're asking
for a lot of information
about Violeta's profile.
You don't think asking all these questions
is overdoing it a little?
We never ask for this kind of information.
Well, I need to know
that everything is in order.
I want to be sure about
giving them a loan.
[chuckling] Jimena,
are you really not going to trust Gabriel?
Well, sure I can trust Gabriel.
It's her I don't really know yet.
All right, is this because
of what happened with Perla?
Or is it like your own personal
sexy manny vendetta kind of thing?
[scoffs]
Uh, Brenda, lay off of the soap operas.
[Jimena chuckles]
Jime, I totally heard you crying.
You can't fool me.
-Gabriel is an idiot.
-Oh.
I saw him kissing Violeta,
even though a few days ago,
he was declaring
his love for me in the cabins.
-[gasps]
-Just, like casual.
Well, you are getting married, aren't you?
What do you care
who Gabriel goes out with?
[inhales deeply]
Do you think one person
can love two people at the same time?
Girl, I've been in love
with plenty of people at once,
but the huge difference for me was
I wasn't trying to get married.
Anyway, I know Matías
is the one for me. He's
I don't know, he's a really good guy,
and we're into all the same stuff.
And well, I do love him.
He's mature and dependable.
He's good-looking.
And you know I really shouldn't take
those things for granted at my age.
Well, there's your answer.
Matías is the chosen one.
So, then we don't need for Gabriel
to answer all this.
-Of course we do, yes!
-Ah
It's for the business's sake.
Look, this isn't about any of that.
Okay, good.
It's not personal. That is great.
Because I invited them
to your bachelorette party.
Well, yours and
your future husband's, Matías. [squeals]
[Joaquín] Yes, it's perfect.
If you want to,
bring them to my house tomorrow
and I'll talk to them here.
Remember, it's a secret,
so don't say anything.
You just need to talk to them.
I don't think it's something
you have to hide from them.
I mean, they're old enough to understand.
-[Joaquín] No, you're right.
-[Sofía] Is there cereal?
I don't want them freaking out
over nothing. You know what I mean?
I'm just not sure of the best way
to break it to them.
I know you'll find a way to break it
to the kids, okay? And they'll survive.
Joaquín, you're their papa.
You just have to tell them.
You're right. I will. Well,
you better wish me luck, then, Chimi.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Talk to you later.
Bye, Joaco.
[phone lock clicks]
Mom?
Is something wrong with Papa?
[sighs]
[gentle music playing]
-[Gabriel] Brenda.
-Hmm?
You mind explaining to me what's up
with these crazy-ass questions?
We were hacked recently,
so we're really upping the security.
So Jimena had to add a lot
of security questions.
But that still doesn't explain
some of these questions.
Why do you need to know
so much information on Violeta?
[whimsical music playing]
Wha [inhales]
Hmm?
Mmm
Listen, Gaby, I'll level with you.
It's just, Jimena acted super weird
after she picked up Leo
from your camping thing.
Yeah. So what?
What are you talking about?
No, I don't know either,
but something must have happened
for her to come back
in such a state like that.
-Hmm?
-No. Well
Mmm
Okay, fine!
Better tell me if you and Violeta
are coming to the bachelorette party.
Because I organized it,
of course, and it'll be nice.
-Not sure yet, Brenda.
-Hey, no, Gabriel!
You have to come with us.
It'll be fun. The food will be delicious.
Plus, you're in business together now.
You guys have to come.
Mom is acting mysterious
and won't tell us why.
He could have food poisoning
and just not want to tell us.
Or it's his kidney.
-In school they said they're right here.
-Not quite, kiddo. A bit lower.
Same difference!
Wait a minute. What if Papa told Mama
that he's really sick?
Well, he told her that he wanted us
to get together
so we could talk about
something important.
-Yeah. Life-or-death.
-Maybe he broke up with Mitch.
That's life-or-death too.
-Do you remember how bad he got last time?
-Hey, Martha, do you know anything?
I have already told the other two
that I really don't want to get involved.
All right. Let's not get
ahead of ourselves.
We have to just wait
and see what Dad says.
-Yup.
-Okay.
[Gabriel] Jimena knows me.
I don't understand
why she's doubting my abilities.
You know, Jimena could be doing this
for other reasons.
Madrina, it can't be jealousy.
She's getting married to Matías,
and I'm with Violeta.
However, she doesn't know about that.
Women know,
even when you don't say anything, Gabriel.
Hmm.
Today is her bachelorette party.
Violeta and I were invited.
Hey, that'll be fun.
This way, you can see
how things are going.
Just do me one favor, okay?
When the truth is blinding you,
don't put on sunglasses.
Just don't be caught unaware. Okay, mijo?
Oh, don't worry, Madrina.
I know that.
And I don't need your powers to do it.
[both laugh]
Is it time to eat yet? I'm hungry.
Always, yes.
I made pipián,
and it's so good you're going to die.
[Leo] It smells delicious, Pa!
This is an Ayurvedic dish
that I learned from Mitch.
Pa! What's Ayurvedic?
-Well, it's like a healing philosophy.
-Philosophy?
-What's he talking about?
-I don't know.
Man, is something wrong with you?
No, I just prefer to cook healthy
these days.
This helps with meditation
while elevating the spirit.
And gives you gas?
-Well, a little bit. Yes.
-[giggles]
What's with the robe, Mitch?
No yoga outfit today?
-Mmm!
-Enough already. What's going on?
What do you mean, princess?
[chuckles] Look at the time.
I've got a class. Bye!
Oh, I forgot to tell Mitch something.
Be right back.
Okay. We have to find out what's going on.
They're both acting weird.
And Dad's right eye was twitching
a little, wasn't it?
It looked like he was going to cry.
Yeah, plus he looks thinner,
and he has circles under his eyes.
He's never had those, not ever.
I had nothing to do with
the chocolate fountain.
That was all Brenda, so don't look at me.
Hey, wait. At least try one.
-Yeah, try it.
-Come on, try it.
[whimsical music playing]
Mmm.
-Ah? Good, isn't it?
-[Matías chuckles]
-So, it's a yes for the wedding, then?
-No.
No. Just no. Okay?
-Jimena, how boring.
-No.
You don't want to go
to the bachelorette party?
-It just seems a little weird.
-Yeah.
Lately, Jimena seems to want
to separate work from friendship stuff.
And you know what? I'm still upset about
those questions they were asking.
Where'd you get your master's degree?
Are you kidding me?
Gabi, even if they ask me
for my kindergarten certificate,
I'll give them whatever they want,
as long as they approve our loan.
[chuckles] Aw.
Don't take it so darn personally.
[Gabriel exhales sharply]
To be honest with you,
I'm not a big fan of parties like that.
Well, I want to attend.
And it's our first party together,
so you know it's going to be incredible.
[whimsical music playing]
Get whatever you want, guys.
It's my treat.
And I'm in a very generous mood,
so take advantage.
Does he really think he can distract us
by buying us stuff? Typical.
I don't know,
we still really can't be sure yet, Sofía.
[Leo] Ice cream!
Hey, Dad, isn't that your favorite?
A white chocolate chip cookie
ice cream sandwich.
They are, but I can't with this new diet.
It's not Ayurvedic, you know.
But get what you guys want.
But ice cream always
makes you so happy, Pa.
-Are you sure you're okay?
-You bet I am.
But life is for living, no?
And we have to live it up.
So, who's having ice cream, huh?
He says live it up today.
Is that 'cause he doesn't have tomorrow?
Let's see. I'll have
the chocolate chip right there,
and whatever it is my children want.
Yes. [chuckles]
Hi. Care if we take a photo
for the newspaper El Mural?
Yes. El Mural?
Yes, Matías called them.
He's like a kid with a new toy.
One more.
-[indistinct chatter]
-[Gabriel chuckles]
-[photographer] Thanks.
-Thank you.
-I love you, sweetie.
-You look great. Look at you.
-Where were we?
-At what?
-[Joaquín] Is this it?
-[Sofía] Yes.
-Oh, great!
-This ice cream is good, isn't it?
Really good, in fact.
-[upbeat music playing]
-[gasps]
[gasps]
These are like the purses Dua Lipa has.
[Leo] Huh! Sofía, look.
-[Sofía] Papi.
-Come here.
-Come look at this. Take a look.
-What's up?
[Sofía] Look.
You've always wanted a watch like that.
Why don't you buy it?
[Joaquín] Pretty cool watch, huh?
-Buy it, Dad.
-Nah. I don't need another watch.
-But, Pa, is life happening or not?
-Yeah?
-Nah.
-What do you mean "nah"?
It's not like we can take it with us
when we pass.
What does he mean?
So, here.
This is the one you want?
I'll buy it for you.
Hmm?
Hello, Miss
-This is not good.
-Something's wrong with him.
I didn't know you were
together romantically.
I assumed it was all business.
We're still, you know, a team.
Just a better one.
But don't worry, that's not going
to interfere with work at all.
-I promise.
-[Matías] Hey, we won't judge.
Sure, some will tell you
that you shouldn't mix love with business.
But, uh But you won't hear that from us.
We love it.
-Right, my love?
-[chuckles] We are lucky.
-I love you.
-[Jimena] Such a cutie. [chuckles]
So let's raise our drinks to love,
and especially loves
that can work together.
-Salud.
-Salud.
-Salud.
-Let's get this party started.
[Sofía] Hey, guys, over here.
Look, isn't that the sports car
you said you always wanted?
-[Leo] Cool! [gasps]
-Wow!
-What a car!
-Yup.
[Joaquín] This thing's a beast.
Hey, Pa, why don't you buy this?
You've worked your whole life, man.
You deserve it.
I would look great driving this thing.
-But no. Why don't we get this for you?
-What? Get it for me?
Look, it costs too much probably,
but we can go check.
I can't take this anymore.
We need you to tell us
what's going on with you.
What are you talking about? Nothing.
What do you mean? What's the matter?
You hate having to eat healthy.
Plus, you really wanted
that watch in there.
Now you want to buy me a sports car?
Dad, are you okay?
Please, just level with us.
Yes, tell us what it is,
and don't lie about it.
[Joaquín sighs]
I'll explain everything
as soon as we all get home. Hmm?
Okay, time for a wedding game.
-Whoo!
-Yeah! Whoo!
Okay, so, the game we're playing next
is called "I know you."
Mmm.
[Brenda] This game
is for our special couple.
I'll ask you each the questions
on these cards,
then we'll see
if you really know each other.
-[all exclaim]
-[Matías] Let's find out.
The first one's for Matías,
and it says, "What dish
does your beloved cook the best?"
[guests exclaim]
-We know it. Don't we?
-Let me think. It'll come to me.
-Well, that's easy.
-[Matías] I'm thinking
-Scrambled eggs and cheese.
-[Brenda] Uh
-[mimics buzzer]
-What?
No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's jam sandwiches, right?
[laughs] That's the right answer.
My range of cooking goes from
ham sandwich to jam sandwich.
To jam sandwich.
[laughs]
To be fair, that lasagna you made
last year was the best in the world.
Ah, well, Gabriel taught me. [laughs]
What? Your special lasagna?
[gasps]
I asked for it a million times,
but he won't share his recipe.
Oh, well, it was for my dad.
Remember it was an emergency?
-It really was. Yeah. An emergency.
-Oh, okay.
-It was an emergency.
-[Gabriel] That was, uh
[Brenda] There have been several
in this house.
-I'm going to make it for you.
-Good.
[Brenda] Yes, it's true.
We've all been there.
-But, well, let's go to the next question.
-Absolutely.
[Leo] What is that circle?
Is it a tumor?
Does that mean you're dying, Pa?
No, princess, I'm perfectly healthy.
Then what is this?
[gentle music playing]
This is what I wanted you to see.
[laughing]
And that is our little baby's ultrasound.
I don't like surprises!
-Salud.
-Salud.
-Salud.
-[chuckles]
[sighs]
And so what's with all these
new requirements for us to get the loan?
-Yeah, we've really upped our security.
-I'll say.
And, uh So you plan on asking everybody
where they attended kindergarten?
-Correct.
-Uh-huh.
By the way,
where'd you disappear to yesterday?
Brenda was quite worried.
[sighs]
I don't understand.
Mitch had said
she didn't want to have any babies.
Yeah, well, that was true,
but, you know, we all have the ability
to change our minds in life.
[Sofía] That's true, Leo.
Eventually, you stop liking things that
you used to love, like caramel popcorn.
And don't forget, it means an end
to the cheek squeezing
and the baby gifts too.
-So that's pretty cool, right?
-Well
You know what else?
And what's most important?
Hmm?
I will still love you with all my heart.
Thanks. So is it a little brother
or sister?
-There he is!
-Which do you want?
-I want a sister.
-[gasps]
-A sister? Really?
-[Joaquín] Really?
-Yes. A mini-Sofi.
-No.
[laughing]
Jimena, what?
Matías put you in danger?
And besides that, Perla Salgado,
you do not want to work with her.
What? Now you're worried about me?
What about your girlfriend?
You should be worried about her, not me.
Are you jealous?
Can I ask you a question?
Mmm, sure.
What do women see in him?
[chuckles] Well, that's hard to explain.
When Gabriel is in my life,
I am the best me.
It's almost like
he really leaves his mark, I guess.
So it's pretty serious?
Sure.
Well, I'm serious about him,
but you can't always get what you want.
I always get what I want.
[tense music playing]
Look, it's not that I'm jealous.
I just find it curious
that you're with Violeta now,
only a couple of weeks
after you tried to kiss me at the cabin.
No, no, you were the one
who was trying to kiss me.
[gasps]
Maybe our timing has just been off, but
What can you do? [chuckles]
[Brenda] I think it's time
for our next game, everyone.
Gather around, and we'll start playing.
Now, everyone move in
just a little closer. That's good.
Good talking with you, Gabriel.
[whimsical music playing]
[music ends]
And here it is.
This will reveal the sex of the baby.
Boys reveal in blue, girls reveal pink.
That makes sense, doesn't it?
You don't think this is going overboard?
Don't be a party pooper.
Come on. Shall we do this?
Let's count together, shall we?
-One!
-Two!
[all] Three!
-[Joaquín] Come on!
-[Sofía laughs]
-Whoa.
-Ah.
[laughing]
How's that for your gender reveal?
It's a they! It's a they!
-Maybe it's twins.
-[Joaquín and Mitch] No.
[Sofía laughs]
Well, for those of you
who are sick of the games,
this is the last one.
[all exclaim]
In this last little game,
Jimena must find her guy
amongst all the others,
using any of her senses that she wishes,
but not her vision.
This'll be easy. Come on,
Jimena will recognize me from a mile away.
-[guests] Ah.
-I guess we'll see about that.
She's gonna need to taste them all.
Every single one.
[all exclaim]
Well, you know, sometimes,
you gotta take a little bitty taste
to discover
the real flavor of love. Right?
-[guests] Whoo.
-[woman] Let's get it started.
-What? Okay, my dear friend
-You're the worst friend.
-No, the best.
-No.
All you have to do is walk straight,
put your arms up, and we'll guide you.
-[guests cheering]
-Are you ready?
-Good luck.
-[guests clamoring]
-Yeah, there you go.
-To your right. Right!
Cold!
-Yes, yes, yes.
-[woman 1] Give him a squeeze!
-[woman 2] Right.
-[woman 3] Warm. Warm.
-Getting warmer. Jimena!
-[sniffing]
-[woman 4] Yeah!
-[woman 5] Yeah, come on!
Come on! No!
-[sniffing]
-No! Not that one, Jimena.
That one is mine.
-[woman 3] Yes. We're getting warmer.
-[woman 6] There, touch him!
-[sniffing]
-[women] No!
[woman 7] Not him! Not him! It's not him!
[woman chuckling]
