CC: TELEMUNDO NETWORK
Mr. Massu? It's Beatriz Rincon.
I'm going to accept your offer.
Let's do business together.
I'm so happy to hear that, Betty.
I knew you'd say yes.
<i> That's how we do business</i> <i> in Manhattan.</i>
<i> Welcome.</i>
We're talking about a big-time commission.
I maintain my offer.
$5 million. Just tell me how you'd like it.
In five CDs of $1 million each in my name.
I see you've thought of everything.
It's not the most convenient of transactions,
but we have a lot of experience in this, so don't you worry.
Okay, I'll want half before the sale
and the other half after the sale.
I have to go now.
Oh no, what have I done?
Five?
$5 million?
$5 million.
That commission
that Armando Mendoza's assistant is receiving
could have gone to you.
So that honest, irreproachable, clean, pure, meticulous,
and innocent assistant to the president
turned out to be quite calculating.
Let's just say she's beginning to discover
the benefits of being adjacent to power.
If she agreed to this, that means she'll agree
to other under the table deals.
Just like you used to, remember?
You were a master cheat.
By the way, you never told me why you left V&M.
I heard you were fired.
-No. -No?
No, you've got it all wrong. I quit.
Oh.
I don't believe in Armando Mendoza as president.
He's not fit to hold that position.
Let me tell you something.
Things will change there very soon.
Marcela, you cannot reduce my salary.
Boil me alive if you like.
With chopped up potatoes and carrots,
but please don't reduce my salary.
I swear I tried to help you,
but Armando got upset when he found out
how much you were making.
You have no idea the trouble that caused for me with him.
But I just sold my last watch,
which was barely enough to buy a few trifles.
What you're paying me isn't enough to survive.
Patricia, the problem is you want a millionaire's lifestyle,
and no job will pay you that much.
Are you taking my baby?
What baby?
My car!
Betty, we're so sorry we didn't take you out to lunch
to celebrate your promotion.
Don't worry about it.
The problem is our paychecks are practically spent
the moment we get them.
Especially now that that shameless tramp
is bleeding Efrain dry.
Yes, but we all share our lunch.
Have some of what I made today.
It turned out really good.
Betty, we're very proud and very happy
about your promotion.
Of all of us in the squad, you've gone the furthest.
That's true.
Congrats, champ. You knocked us all out.
You know you can count on all of us.
We're a team.
All for one...
...and one for all!
Thanks, girls.
I'd like to share some of my tamales with you.
My mom made them.
She wants to start selling them.
Really?
What's the hold up? Keep passing them down.
They smell delicious.
I thought it would run out before getting to me.
They smell so good.
Next time we get paid, Betty, we'd like to take you
to that new French restaurant that just opened.
Oh Ines, you're dreaming.
Marcela went last week, and a meal there
costs an entire paycheck.
That's expensive.
<i> Glasses up, glasses down,</i>
to the middle,
gulp it down!
Girls, I've invited you all to lunch,
and so I had the restaurant closed
to everyone but us!
Feel free to order whatever you like.
If you're in the mood for lobster, order it.
Or even two!
Can we get seconds?
Of course, Bertha.
You can order to go.
Miss Beatriz, ladies.
It's a pleasure to have you back.
Likewise, Jean Pierre.
These are my best friends in the world.
A pleasure.
Please treat them like the queens they are.
-The usual? -The usual.
Thank you.
Hi, Jean Pierre. I'd like a table for two.
I'm terribly sorry, Ms. Valencia,
but Ms. Beatriz had the restaurant closed to all
except she and her friends.
She did what?
That damn gargoyle.
Marcela, do something about this.
Don't pay attention to him. Let's find a table.
No, Patricia. Beatriz is too powerful,
and I don't want any problems with her.
Let's just go.
What about a lobster tail to go?
No! Let's go!
Oh my God.
What?
Look.
Betty, you've become a trending topic on social media
since you got rich.
Hey!
Are you listening, Betty?
This is the juiciest gossip of the year.
What gossip?
About that Manhattan diva's salary.
Oh.
Bertha, remember that that's confidential information.
Your job depends on your discretion and care.
But not telling it would be an act of betrayal
against the squad, Ines.
Can you believe Mr. Armando found out
about Patricia Fernandez's salary?
Oh yeah?
-He didn't know? -No!
I heard Armando and Marcela fighting.
Apparently she authorized her salary
without his consent.
But that ends today.
Your boss ordered a new contract
for Patricia Fernandez.
That bottle blonde's salary was reduced!
And they adjusted yours!
Mr. Armando must really value you.
Now that's a good boss.
He really is.
Dad, you're the best golfer in the club.
It's like you've been playing your whole life.
That's life, honey.
When you're talented, you're talented.
Everyone else can cheer me on.
No. Come.
I can't pass up the opportunity
to speak with my former assistant.
Betty?
Mr. Armando.
Is that you?
Yes.
Sorry, let me introduce my family.
This is my father, and you've already met my mother.
Demetrio Rincon, at your service.
Well, not anymore.
I stopped working when my daughter became a millionaire.
Now, resting is my passion.
Thank you for hiring my daughter, Armando.
You opened the doors of Manhattan to her.
I don't regret it.
I'm so happy to see you're doing well.
Betty, you're not just brilliant.
You look interesting.
Why don't we spend more time together?
Remember when you brought me the checks at this golf course?
That was a long time ago. You've got a good memory.
I'm sorry, but I can't help myself from doing this.
Betty!
You're really in love, huh?
Who were you thinking of?
Her boyfriend.
The one who came out in the cards.
-What's his name? -Nicolas.
I remember every name. I save it to my hard drive.
I just hope he's not a filthy, cheating rat
like my jerk of a husband.
Enough, Sofi.
I like Nicolas.
He was the one that helped you
when you had computer problems, right?
That kid's a genius.
Do you have a picture of him, Betty?
We want to see him.
Is he cute? Tall?
Is he muscular?
What about his heart and mind?
I don't have any pictures of him.
It's simple, darling.
Just give me his full name and we'll find him fast.
No.
He's very shy.
He doesn't use social media.
That's smart.
I don't understand why young people
put their whole lives on the internet
for everyone to see.
That's just what everyone does.
Well, I have to go.
I forgot that Mr. Armando asked me
to do something very important.
Feel free to finish the tamales.
Thanks for lunch. Love you.
Bye.
What's wrong, honey?
You haven't touched your food.
I'm not that hungry.
You can't say no to dessert.
I made you your favorite rice pudding.
I'll serve you.
Everything okay at work?
Everything's great.
I did want to ask you something, though.
If someone were to receive a commission
for facilitating the sale of something,
is that illegal?
Facilitate?
Yes.
There are these fabric suppliers.
They're high quality, their prices are pretty good,
and they're offering a commission
if we make the deal with them.
Do the bosses know about that?
No.
Then that's not a commission, Betty.
It's a bribe.
No, it's not a bribe.
Many people do it and nothing happens to them.
Besides, the family of the co-worker doing it
is having serious financial troubles.
She needs the money.
Beatriz Aurora, are you being offered a bribe?
No, no.
I said a co-worker.
Then tell that... co-worker to take some ethics classes
because in Timbuktu, here and everywhere else,
getting money under the table is called a bribe.
It's illegal, and one could go to prison.
And Beatriz, I think your co-worker's parents
probably paid for their child's education,
which I'd guess took a lot of effort,
and they didn't raise their daughter like that.
No amount of money can buy your dignity, Beatriz,
and whatever financial hardships that family
is going through, they don't matter.
It turned out delicious. You're going to love it.
I hit the jackpot with you, honey.
So the uggo did have a price.
Of course she did, sir.
I was with Massu when she accepted.
Great.
That's just what I needed to see Armando go down.
I can't wait to see his face
when he finds out his right hand, his brain,
is stabbing him in the back.
That woman is a traitor, a cheat,
a social climber, sir.
That's right.
Who knows how much she's stolen.
That's why there's a God.
Yes, and all this is Armando's fault for trusting in her.
You know what?
I'm certain that without her, the company will be
too much for him.
Exactly.
Sir, have you considered... has it crossed your mind
that I could be a very useful, efficient
and even key piece in your company?
No, Mata.
You're going to be my right-hand man at V&M
when I take the presidency from Armando.
Julia, where's Betty?
She left early this morning.
She said she had something urgent to do at work.
What's Betty told you about her work?
Not much.
I just know that she's dedicated
and that they're happy with her there.
I hope she behaves herself.
These Manhattan enterprises deal with a lot of money
and I'd hate for our daughter to allow herself
to get blinded.
What? Of course not.
Our daughter was raised right by her parents,
who gave her an honest, upright upbringing.
Applying make-up in the office?
Don't tell me your water was shut off
because you couldn't pay it.
I thought that was included in the maintenance fees.
Karma.
What do you want?
Why are you so bitter?
You should be relaxed after what happened the other night.
Listen, Daniel, what happened the other night
isn't happening again.
And I owe you nothing after I gave you that information,
so leave me alone.
Daniel, what are you doing here?
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?
Did you forget your sister?
I just came to talk to your future husband
because I received some very valuable information.
Daniel, stop fighting with Armando.
Come to my office and have a coffee with me instead.
I can't right now. I'm speaking to Patricia.
Don't be mean. I'm your sister
and it'll just be 10 minutes.
I'll bring him right back.
See you soon.
-I have to tell you something. -Oh yeah?
I can't believe this.
No, no, no.
Hey!
Oh, it's you, bud.
You're in the wrong restroom.
Believe it or not, I didn't come to argue
with your future husband but to do him a favor.
You'd never do Armando a favor.
Unless it benefitted you, of course.
Well, you're right about that.
Tell me, does Armando still trust his assistant?
More than anyone in the world.
He trusts her more than he trusts me.
Why?
Because I have some information Armando's going to love.
You'll see.
What are you doing here, Betty?
I have something important to tell you.
Not now. I saw Daniel Valencia's car
and must find out why he's here.
-But this is very important. -And this is urgent.
I accepted a bribe.
Fernando Massu is going to pay me 10% over the total sale
for having influenced your decision.
