[joyful music playing]
[Gabriel inhales deeply]
[exhales]
You regret coming here already?
No!
No, it's just that I was thinking,
the first time that I was with you,
I was still married to Joaquín,
and this time,
I I was about to get married to Matías.
You think that maybe,
life is trying to hint at something?
-That you have a thing for diamonds.
-[chuckles softly]
-No, it's not about the diamonds.
-[laughing] I'm kidding.
[moans, chuckles]
[whimsical music playing]
Mmm.
[chuckles]
[foreboding music plays]
[phone ringing]
[Jimena] Good morning!
Now it's your turn to interrupt me
in the middle of something crazy.
[Brenda on phone] Bad news, Jimena.
Like, horrible.
Everything's ruined.
You need to get to the office immediately.
[theme song playing]
THE MANNY
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Uh pants.
-Okay, and we had an ord
-Abel, move it!
Uh, we'll have those in next week,
and yeah, we'll deliver them
just before eight o'clock.
-[gasps]
-[phone chimes]
[Abel] Yeah, one minute please.
Hello?
[Sofía sighs]
-Yeah, that's right
-Ugh, Abel!
Can you move over there?
'Cause here you're just in the way.
-Hmm
-Don't even think of sitting there.
That's where our sequined bags go.
Hmm.
[sighs]
You said we'd go for ice cream
an hour ago.
-Sofi?
-Hmm?
And when are we gonna
have a little bit of time
to do the things every couple does?
[sighs]
Hmm.
-I'm going for ice cream.
-Yeah, that's fine.
-You want some vomit flavored ice cream?
-Uh-huh.
[huffs]
[music fades]
It turns out that land
doesn't even have an owner.
The former owner passed away a year ago.
And he didn't leave a will,
so the land's in litigation.
When it's all finally resolved,
the owner's two sons will divide it.
So we already reached out to the sons,
and neither one had any idea
about the project.
Which means that all the paperwork
Matías gave us is false.
[gasps]
I remember Matías told me
the owner of the land
asked him to transfer everything
to this Arturo, um, Castelar.
-Arturo Castelar? Arturo?
-[Jimena] Yes.
The other day I answered his cell phone,
and someone asked for Arturo.
[Gabriel] It could've been
the wrong number.
I thought the same thing,
but Matías snatched it from me
and left talking as if he was Arturo.
Arturo? No, I don't know
anyone named Arturo.
[Jimena] What?
Matías is Arturo.
[gasps]
Of course.
So then all the money
we earned to do the project
went to his personal account.
The judge who helped him with
all the paperwork was Judge Torres.
He's done tons of projects
with the company, and
and he also was close with Rogelio.
[tense music playing]
[sighs]
I think we have to catch Matías.
[phone ringing]
Santi.
Hi, Mom. Oh, hey, today's my audition,
you know, for that music school, and
I just wanted to know
if you could be home to take me?
No, I'm sorry, sweetheart.
I'm working, and something came up,
so I'm not sure when I'll be done.
I swear though,
I'll do everything I can to be there.
No, no, don't worry about it.
I'll handle it, all right?
But, kisses, and I hope it's okay.
[phone lock clicks]
Hey, baby, what if it doesn't go well?
You don't need to worry, Mitch.
Everything's fine, I swear.
It's a routine test.
Yeah, but the doctor said
it was to check for deformities.
-And, well, it could
-No.
-It'll all end up fine. Hmm?
-[phone rings]
-Just one second.
-Mm-hmm.
-[Joaquín on phone] What's up, Santi?
-Hi, Pa.
So, hey, I've got my admission exam
for that music school today.
Are you able to take me to it?
Dang, Santi, I have to drive Mitch
to the doctor for some tests.
Uh, she's actually pretty nervous.
Don't worry,
I'll check with Grandpa, all right?
-[Joaquín] Perfect.
-Let me know how her tests go.
Thanks for understanding, champ.
I'll speak with you later.
[Gabriel] I told you
not to trust that guy.
I can't believe I let Matías fool me.
Now I don't know what to do.
I imagine you were looking
for a guy you could trust.
I think that he presented himself
like this perfect, handsome guy,
that was attentive and good in
Uh, I mean
Well, look, everyone makes mistakes.
Whatever you say.
[whimsical music playing]
-[phone ringing]
-[Jimena sighs]
[Sofía] Hello?
Yes, how's it going? Okay.
Thanks a lot.
[phone lock clicks]
Claudia, where is Abel?
The order I gave him wasn't delivered yet.
Well, he went for ice cream, he said.
He even asked if you wanted to get some.
I don't remember any of that,
but either way,
we can't let our customers down.
[scoffs]
[dialing]
[line ringing]
[Sofía] He's not answering.
[humming]
[door opens]
Matías?
You said that you had received
the last deposit
from the investors yesterday.
And today you were supposed
to transfer the cash
into the account we opened
specifically for that purpose.
So why haven't you done it?
I already paid all that you were owed.
Well, things are different now.
Why should I be settling
for just pennies here,
when this transaction has the potential
to make a hundred times more?
Hmm?
Because you and I had a deal.
Actually, all I'm missing
is the deposit from Perla Salgado,
which she's about to make to me
in one hour.
So, just enough time
to get to the airport and get out of here.
You can't take money from Perla Salgado,
because you have no idea
what she is capable of doing to Jimena
if you even think about
touching what's hers.
[pensive music playing]
It's no longer my problem.
[chuckles] Anyway, Rogelito, be well.
Hmm?
If you don't return all that cash,
then I will give you up to the police.
And maybe I'll I'll just tell them
what you did to Mrs. Scott in Chile.
You turn me in, you know what?
I'll make sure you go down with me.
You got that?
Don't forget,
you helped me change my identity.
And with everything that we set up here,
it's impossible you don't get busted.
You take me down, Rogelio,
you're going down with me, dude.
Hmm?
You will give me back
-Stop!
-[groaning]
A thief who steals from a thief, hmm?
-[Rogelio groaning]
-[scoffs]
[groaning]
[Ernesto] Santiago!
-Santiago!
-What's up, Grandpa?
Hey, you're early. There's still time
before my audition starts.
Yeah, I need you to come with me
to the office first, though.
Because I'm being interviewed,
and I plan on using part of that time to
tell the public I'm running for senator.
-Hey! Congratulations!
-[chuckles]
-Let me get my guitar and we'll go. Okay.
-Okay, hurry up.
[playful music playing]
[breathes deeply]
[tense music playing]
[breathes deeply]
[Rogelio] Jimena? [groans]
[Gabriel] Rogelio?
[Jimena] Rogelio?
I can't believe
that you're involved in all this.
I screwed up, Jimena.
-Now what did you do, Rogelio?!
-I planned it all.
I reached out to Matías,
who's a professional thief,
so I could give you a scare.
And then, I'd step in and save the day.
Why would you think to do that?
So you'd admit that I was essential,
that I was needed.
You're not able to tell
when someone's a crook.
And how were you planning
to teach me that lesson?
By making me serve time for fraud?
Well, of course not.
I was gonna get all the cash back
and then I'd be the hero.
That's the stupidest thing
I've ever heard.
I mean, we were about to get married.
-Just how far were you gonna take this?
-Jimena. Calm down.
The most important thing is
to stop Matías.
He wants to leave the country.
He transferred all the investors' money
to his personal account,
and now he's just waiting for the deposit
from Perla Salgado to flee the country.
We can't let Matías get away.
Or Perla will eat me for lunch.
[breathing nervously]
We'll get started in five minutes.
[indistinct chatter]
[playful music playing]
You all right, Grandpa?
Hmm yeah.
When I get nervous, I have
a little trick for staying calm, okay?
Look.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
It really helps to calm my nerves a bit.
[chuckles]
Uh, I don't think I should announce
I'm planning to run for senator.
What? Why not?
I really just think you need to relax.
Come on, let's do it.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
[sighs]
Ah.
Wish me luck.
-You got this.
-[chuckles]
[phone ringing]
-Hi, how are you, Miss Perla?
-[Perla on phone] Matías.
I just wanted to see if it's possible.
Can I please give you cash
for the deposit,
rather than, you know,
making a bank transfer?
It would be much better for me.
Well, of course. Where can I find you?
I'll meet you at the parish
in Todos los Santos.
It's very close to the casino.
Well, that's perfect.
[Perla] But listen.
This remaining confidential is vital. Hmm?
Don't you worry, Perla, because I'll be
more discreet than anyone you've ever met.
I'll see you there.
[phone lock clicks]
Yes. Great.
[cheerful music playing]
[birds chirping]
[ringing]
That's the fifth time she's called, Abel.
Aren't you planning to answer?
No.
What's going on?
You didn't like the ice cream?
Why should we be a couple if
we're not going to do anything together?
[gasps, groans]
I'm my girlfriend's errand boy,
and we don't ever leave the house at all.
The whole thing can't be work.
Or is having a girlfriend just like that?
I mean, I adore Sofi for her talent,
for her ideas, for her charisma,
her intelligence, and her beauty.
You're in trouble, kiddo, I'm telling you.
[phone ringing]
[ringing stops]
Forty years financing projects.
Thousands of jobs generated,
and all while leading the state's
premier finance company.
How are you adjusting to your retirement?
-[Ernesto breathes deeply]
-[interviewer chuckles]
Everything okay, or do you need a break?
[Ernesto] No.
Life is wonderful
when we allow ourselves to dream.
Which is why I can't just sit around.
On the contrary
I'd like to run for senator.
I want to do my part,
however I can, to be, uh
be able to change the world.
[phone buzzing]
What's up, Dad?
Santi, I need you to help us out.
Open up, sir. Nothing's wrong.
Open the door, okay?
[sighs] Baby, Joaquín, now!
-Baby, please open the door.
-[sighs]
-I told you, I'm on break now, Martha.
-There are no breaks here, kiddo.
-Hmm?
-[footsteps approaching]
What's going on here?
Why haven't you answered?
You've been gone for this entire day.
You need to take the shirts to Isa.
-We agreed on delivery today.
-This is a strike.
What do you mean, a strike?
I've been trying to talk for hours,
and you're so involved with your work
you don't even care.
Well, our business
is super successful, Abel.
Cool. I can't talk to my girlfriend,
no deliveries.
[Martha] I told you.
This does not end well for you. [scoffs]
-[Santiago] Hey, Mitch.
-Hi.
Where's my dad?
He's still locked in the bathroom,
and he's staying.
-[Ernesto sighs]
-[knocking on door]
Pa, let me in.
[sighs]
[door unlocks]
Go.
-Mm-hmm.
-[door closes]
What's going on, Pa?
[sighs]
Santi, I'm scared.
[gentle music playing]
Don't worry about it.
Everything's gonna be all right.
This is just a test.
No, it's not that.
I don't know if I'm gonna be
a good father for this kid.
What do you mean?
Well, I forgot what it takes.
Not sure I did too well with you guys.
I couldn't even get you to your audition.
[sighs] That doesn't matter at all.
You're the best father in the world.
[chuckles softly]
Do you think?
Well, look, I only have one father,
and it's you.
And I wouldn't trade that for anything.
[chuckles softly]
[sighs]
Even still,
I am scared.
[sighs]
Baby, don't stress.
It's all gonna be fine.
Pa, I have to get going now.
You sure you'll be all right?
Yeah, I'll be just fine.
[Santiago] Awesome.
You're awesome, champ.
Grandpa, we should head out.
[Mitch] We'll see you soon.
[whimsical music playing]
Oh my God.
Doctor, we're ready now.
[music ends]
[birds chirping]
[pensive music playing]
[sighs]
-[footsteps approaching]
-[exhales]
[woman] Arturo.
[gasps]
Everything you've ever said
has been a lie, even your name was.
I think I deserve an explanation.
[Arturo chuckles]
Really? A church?
You wanted to marry me so badly that
you made up this obnoxious plan here?
[chuckles]
I would've given you anything.
I opened up to you, my house,
my family, and my heart. How could you?
[somber music playing]
[breathes deeply]
[exhales sharply] I can't believe this.
Truly sorry, Jimena.
You're right.
I am a jerk.
And it might just have worked out,
my love.
But we don't know.
Forgive me, but I prefer the sure thing.
You're not leaving until
you return the investors' money.
[scoffs]
Not happening, sweetheart.
[yelps, grunts]
Don't you dare touch her.
[tense music playing]
You're not going anywhere.
[exhales deeply]
-[grunting]
-[Jimena] No.
-[grunting]
-[Jimena gasps]
Let go of me.
Let go of me!
[Gabriel grunting]
Let go!
[grunting]
[panting]
Baby, forgive me.
I apologize for everything.
I realize I was wrong now.
I swear, give me another chance.
I love you.
My love, I love you. I was wrong.
I want us to be married soon.
I want it all with you.
Please, my love. I love you.
Man, it's really a shame, huh?
Just look at this.
Such a handsome guy,
and such a coward.
The police are on their way.
And the Chilean authorities
know that you're here.
It's time to pay
for all your fraud, Matías.
Don't get comfy, Rogelio.
You're gonna end up in jail
right there with me, you idiot.
Yeah, well, I might go to jail.
But this
Jimena doesn't deserve it.
And in the meantime,
I'll be leaving all of my guys here,
in case he tries to escape,
'cause that would be a real mess.
[chuckles]
-Come on.
-Let go.
-Let's go.
-Let go of me! Let me go!
-[man] Walk.
-[Perla] Oh boy, this kid's a whiner.
Are you all right?
-[grunting]
-Walk!
[pensive music playing]
[sirens wailing]
[Rogelio] Cousin, I'm sorry. Sincerely.
I really don't know
what you were thinking about.
I know, I was so determined
to teach you a lesson.
I don't know, honestly.
But I truly think I've been furious since
since the day you told me that, um,
no one would miss me there.
I said that to you?
Yeah. The truth is I just wanted
to be taken into account.
You guys are the only family I have.
Fam [gasps]
-Family!
-The audition! Santi!
Yep. We'll get there if we hurry.
Right now!
-Run. Yes?
-Yeah. Come on.
-Perla, I'll call you. I love you. Bye!
-Yeah? Really?
It's just that,
since your online store blew up,
we haven't had time as a couple.
But I think of you as an ally
with all of this.
You and I are like like a power couple.
The problem is,
with this, you have all the power.
And I'm okay with that.
But maybe we could try
to be a little more of a couple.
Abel, you're the first guy
I've ever dated.
I have no idea how this should go.
Do you have a proposal?
Well, I wasn't fully prepared, but, um
[paper rustles]
And I sent it to your phone,
so you can access it digitally.
And we have time allotted for everything.
Including free time
so we can each do what we want.
All that I ask from you is that when
it's our time together, you respect it.
And I'll obviously respect yours.
Thank you.
-[kisses]
-[Claudia] Sof!
It's the client calling.
[phone ringing]
Clau, we're going to need
to postpone it today.
Eh?
Because we need to hire
a new delivery dude.
It's time for Santi's audition, guys.
Let's go.
[cheerful music playing]
[tempo slows down]
[sighs]
No, I can't do it!
Hey! Santiago! Hang on a sec.
Come on, Grandpa, who am I kidding?
Santiago, this entire time
that I have been with you, I've seen your
your confidence and your talent.
[sighs] But you said if I do,
I might starve to death.
That wasn't right, son.
Because all careers are difficult, okay?
But, of course,
he who listens to his intuition
has a better chance.
It's just that I'm scared.
Come here.
[breathes deeply]
[sentimental music playing]
[sighs]
Someone once taught me
a little trick for dealing with nerves.
Pay attention.
I'm going to show you, okay?
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
[tapping feet, snapping fingers]
[laughing]
[sighs]
Santiago Echegaray?
[sniffles, exhales]
Thank you, Grandpa.
And I'm very proud of you, son.
[chuckles]
[people applauding]
Hi there! Uh, good afternoon.
My name is Santiago Echegaray,
and today I'm going to play the guitar.
It's a song that I wrote.
Rogelio! What a surprise!
-Hi, Uncle.
-Yeah, I'll I'll explain later.
Hey, what's up, family?
-[Jimena] Hey!
-Hi!
-How did your ultrasound go?
-[Mitch] Oh, great.
-Yeah. Oh, it went great.
-Baby. Yeah, show it.
Um, it's got two heads,
but we're going to be just fine.
-Hey! It does not.
-Shh! Shh!
-Uh, all right, all right.
-[giggles]
Uh, Santiago Echegaray, go ahead, please.
-Come on, Santi!
-[all cheering]
-Let's go, champ!
-Yay, Santi!
-[people applauding]
-[breathes deeply]
[inhales deeply]
[exhales]
[tapping feet]
[Rogelio] Jime, I I know I've done
a lot of stupid things, and
-And this was a huge one.
-Yeah, it was idiotic.
And now we have to get back
all that money for those investors.
But you know what?
You are gonna help me do it.
Yes, of course.
All right, let's see.
Why don't you explain to me
what's going on here?
-Since when do you two get along?
-[Jimena] Well
I think that all of us need
someone to watch our backs.
So I think it would be a good plan
to give him one more opportunity.
Uh
-Yeah.
-Well, it's your call.
You're the president.
So what'd they say?
I got accepted!
[all cheering, laughing]
-My champ.
-Dad!
Awesome, Santi. That's amazing.
-My champ.
-Sof!
-Congratulations.
-This kid. I'm so proud of him.
-I knew he'd make it.
-[Ernesto] You did great.
-I knew you could do it.
-Good job.
-[Joaquín] Great job, kid.
-[Sofía] I'm happy for you.
[Joaquín] I'm so proud of you.
[happy music playing]
-[Sofía] Whoo!
-[both chuckle]
[music continues]
I want to assure you all
that despite the inconveniences,
the company and I will continue
the real estate development.
Primavera 6060 is a lifelong dream of mine
because of the impact it could make
on this community.
And because I know this landmark will be
sustainable, and socially responsible.
The owners of the land,
who are present here,
have agreed to sell as soon as
the property dispute is resolved.
However, we would like
to ask for your patience.
And we're doing all that we can
to recover your investment.
Yes, unfortunately, Matías sent
all of it over to an account offshore.
But the police are doing everything
in their power to get it returned to you.
It is unfortunate. You assured all of us
that Matías could be trusted.
My boss won't be happy about this at all.
Well, tell your boss to stop crying. 'Kay?
If it was that important to him,
then he should have shown up here
in person to complain about it.
He wasn't able to be here.
But trust me, he will be hearing of this.
[folder slams on table]
My boss is a person
with a lot of influence.
We'll see how this plays out.
[tense music playing]
Don't worry about it. Let him go.
Doesn't matter. Not important.
Well, I don't know about you guys,
but I have complete confidence
that our little Jimena
will have all of our money returned,
and we will be able to start
that pretty little project
that she proposed. Huh?
On top of that,
I will personally double my investment
so that she can get started
on this thing once and for all.
-Hmm?
-[Jimena exhales sharply]
Thank you, Perla, but I I don't know.
No, no, no, no. Honey,
I don't even take a no for an answer.
You know, it's you and I until we die.
Hmm? So?
Anyone else going in with us?
That's it.
Hmm. Very good.
-[applauding]
-Hmm.
[all applauding]
[bright music playing]
You're gonna need to get
some sun to even that out.
[Jimena chuckles] Yeah.
[both chuckle]
But I have to tell you,
I'm where I want to be, at last.
-You are?
-Mm-hmm.
And where's that?
Well, um, liberated and content.
And I'm finally no longer
someone's fiancée,
or someone's wife or whatever.
-[Leo] Mama!
-[both gasp]
-[Gabriel gasps]
-No, no, no. [gasps]
[Gabriel grunts]
[whimsical music playing]
Hi, sweetie.
Uh, do you know if Gabriel's coming later?
Um, don't know. Why do you ask?
I just have some pretty important things
to discuss with him.
Ah Oof. Um, well, I don't know.
I'm really not sure.
Why would I? [chuckles]
-Well
-[Jimena] Leo!
Listen, honey, um,
I want to say that I'm sorry.
[Leo] How come?
Because I know that you could see
some of the things about Matías
that I was not able to see.
Don't worry about it, Ma.
Not all of us are good investigators.
Hey, that's a great point.
And you're a great detective, bud.
-And always here to help.
-[chuckles]
[Jimena] I know you are, honey.
-Love you!
-I love you.
[cheerful music playing]
[sighs] Aw.
[chuckles]
Well, I do know that I'll always be,
at the end of the day, someone's mother.
Very true,
but worth it with them, isn't it?
Mm-hmm.
-[Santiago] Mama!
-[Jimena] What?
You gotta be kidding me!
Love you. [blows kiss]
I love you more.
-[phone ringing]
-[Leo] Mom!
Just a minute!
-[ringing]
-[Jimena sighs]
Hello, Brenda,
this is starting to be a bad habit, huh?
Where are you?
Well, still at the house.
I haven't left yet. Why?
[Brenda] No, please don't come in.
The police have taken over in here.
If I were you,
I'd get the hell out of town now, girl.
Or else you might get thrown in jail.
-[officer] Where's Jimena Lemus?
-[breathing heavily]
-[phone beeps]
-[tense music playing]
-[Gabriel exhales]
-[guitar strumming]
[grunts]
-Huh?
-[Gabriel grunts]
-[Santiago] Whatcha doin' there?
-Um
I I was I was cleaning.
The spiders up there are
Yeah, there are just so many of those.
Lots and lots.
-Hey, we already know about you and Ma.
-Uh-huh.
[Sofía] It's about time.
They have no hope at all.
[all laugh]
Well, we
[cheerful music playing]
[breathing nervously]
[exhales]
[inhales sharply]
Well, why is everyone
in this house screaming?
[all laughing]
[Santiago] Ooh. [laughs]
No. No, no, no.
No, what happened is Gabriel, uh,
well, he was up there helping 'cause
Ma, it's done.
The
They know.
[chuckles softly]
[chuckles]
[Leo] Kiss now. Kiss now.
[kids chuckling]
["¿CÓMO TE LO EXPLICO?"
by DannyLux playing]
Aw. [chuckles]
[chuckling]
-I want a hug.
-[Gabriel] Aw. [laughs]
I missed you, Gabriel.
I missed you too, kiddo.
["¿CÓMO TE LO EXPLICO?" continues]
I love all of you.
-So do I.
-[Leo] So do I.
-So do I.
-[Santiago] We love you too.
["¿CÓMO TE LO EXPLICO?" continues]
