Chumo's the one who received that money...
Don't you dare badmouth Chumo without proof!
CON QUÉ SOSTENERLO!
-Come on, he's an alcoholic... -Shut up!
Give her a chance, Manuel.
If you don't like how she works, I'll stop insisting.
Why are you so interested in helping her out?
Are you saying Lorena might be your daughter?
You are now artistic director for romantic music
for RVG music.
Here's the rest in advance
so that our new kitchen turns out nice.
How would you defend me from my animal of a husband?
I know people who'll protect you.
There are a lot of cops around. We can't touch that guy now.
We have to celebrate.
It's not every day you're promoted to artistic director.
-I'm going to be an executive? -Then say no more.
Don't touch me! Why did I marry you?
-You're just a kid! -Calm down and be quiet!
-I want cocaine! -Come here.
I feel awful.
That was an epic party!
Go bathe, Kiki. You don't look well.
Please, Jose, I want to talk to you.
Pepe.
Pepe, my love.
Smells delicious,
but what would really whet my appetite...
is a kiss from you.
Really?
Pepe?
No, dear, it's me.
Sorry to disappoint you, I just wanted to bring you breakfast.
Here you go.
You'll have your bread right away.
And your tortillas. Give me a sec.
If you can't handle all the work now,
imagine when the baby's born.
No, ma'am.
I'm making sure this baby won't go through what I did.
You're learning about the bonds that tie families together.
Just remember that even though we're not family,
the Sosas are my people.
Why are you telling me this?
Because you should know that if anyone messes with them,
they mess with me.
So I can't even go outside for fresh air
because people would talk.
That's not it.
I've noticed how you're dealing with your pregnancy alone.
Without Gonzalo.
Why are you leaving him out?
Gossiping so early?
Yep.
In my town, the gossip is that I'm bad news,
but what I can tell you is if someone goes after my people,
the claws come out.
What's her problem?
Whatever it is, she brought it with her from Catemaco.
The only thing that comes from there are witches and lunatics.
I forgot your tortillas, ma'am. Here they are.
I wanted to call your doctor, but couldn't find the number.
I don't remember anything.
I also wanted to inform your mother but was embarrassed to.
Forgive me.
This rarely happens to me. Know what it was?
The epilepsy pill I'm on can't be mixed with alcohol.
This hardly ever happens.
No wonder you were screaming like a crazy person.
You said some really ugly things.
I thought your kids hadn't noticed,
but the way Carlitos is acting...
Oh no, Carlitos noticed?
What about the twins? It'd be a scandal if they knew.
Oh, Anel, you still have feelings for Jose, don't you?
Are you okay?
You're talking sheer nonsense. Maybe you should eat breakfast.
Admit it.
You fell in love with someone you can't have.
I have to go. Thanks for breakfast, honey.
It was delicious!
Just tell me.
Don't you feel terrible having to work so closely
to Kiki and Jose?
You know, I don't.
My relationship with Jose is strictly professional,
and I haven't crossed paths with Kiki.
Let me help you.
I'm fed up, Gonzalo. Fed up!
I'm fed up with everybody doubting me.
Fed up with everybody looking at me how they do!
What? You're crazy.
I'm fed up too. Fed up with your tantrums.
Oh, yeah? Listen up, Gonzalo.
If you don't put a stop to your family, I will,
and you won't like that.
Don't you dare disrespect Mom. Don't you dare.
Or what? You going to hit me again?
I've never laid a hand on you. Never!
You went crazy that one time, Lord knows why.
Go on, hit me.
Go on!
Calm down. What's wrong with you?
-Give me a reason to split! -You're going to hurt the baby!
You won't even do that because you're a coward!
Quit your bitching, Minerva.
I can contain any outside attacks.
What I can't do is protect you from yourself.
You saw me?
Who else?
I don't know, and I won't look into it and start a scandal.
Thank you.
I'm doing it for my grandsons. You've been warned.
Your recent behavior has been deplorable.
Something happened to me.
Oh?
What happened is you don't respect your family.
I thought living with this kid under the same roof
as your parents would straighten you out.
I don't know...
It felt like a moment of madness.
I don't know...
Dad, I promise I'll start taking care of myself.
I won't threaten you or ask for wisdom.
You don't know the meaning of the word.
Then?
I'm having my lawyers begin the process
to sue for custody of my grandchildren.
One word from me and they'll move forward with it.
It's not a threat?
It's a warning. One more incident and you
and your husband are out of the house.
But nobody's touching my grandkids,
don't you forget that.
No, don't take my kids from me.
Mili.
<i> -Yes?</i> -Please come here.
<i> One moment.</i>
Yes, sir?
-Good morning. -Good morning.
Can I have five minutes with Ancona?
Mr. Ancona just left.
I can schedule a meeting later. How much time do you need?
It's just something I need to tell him.
You'd make my job easier if you explained what it's about.
I'm considering asking him to give Nora my old job.
Of course.
Is 5 o'clock okay?
Perfect. Thanks very much.
Great.
I'd just recommend you think it over, sir.
Wait, don't go.
Sit down.
So this is all my fault?
You should've taken me to a hotel or anywhere else.
You shouldn't have let others see me like that.
A hotel, Kiki?
You were fine in the car before suddenly losing your mind.
That's why I brought you here. If you'd had a seizure,
-your mother would've been here. -Anywhere else was better.
You should not have let others see me like that.
Jose, I would never do that to you, and you drink too.
And do other stuff too.
Kiki, I did what I could.
We have to realize we've got a drinking problem
that if we don't address, we'll both be ruined!
Why do you believe I should think this over?
Sir, everyone in the office knows about you and Nora.
Those kinds of things don't look very good.
Everyone knows?
What did you expect? It's not that big an office.
Does Ancona know?
Look, I'm just saying you should take some time
before making up your mind.
It would be a bad look
if your first decision as artistic director
is promoting your girlfriend.
Think about it.
Excuse me.
Honey.
I know the partying is overwhelming us,
and what happened yesterday was terrible.
I don't feel good.
Jose, what happened to us?
We both spurred each other on.
We overdid it, Kiki.
Big time.
I knew that would happen.
What do we do?
I don't know. But we have to do something
because the hangovers are getting worse
because we drink every day.
How do we stop drinking?
I don't know.
But you work nights.
I work nights too, and we have so much going on.
We'll have to make an effort.
-What do you propose? -This is affecting us both,
and the reaction each of us is having is getting dangerous.
That's why we're going to change.
My husband, that bastard, came back yesterday.
Oh my.
Did he tell you he was coming back?
No.
I think he did it out of malice.
I found him lying on the living room sofa.
What did he say?
That I was the most important thing in his life
and that there was no way he was letting me go.
I know.
I shouldn't care about everything he says.
I was so happy.
All the more reason to sit and have a talk with him.
He's never been the kind to sit and talk.
And now I'm scared again.
I can't even sleep.
Come to the house. There's space there for you.
Are you sure? I'd hate to be a bother.
-What would Margarita say? -Margarita will be thrilled.
Come.
Our accountants are still mulling things over,
but as hard as they try,
they don't see how to go about suing Peraza.
But why?
He covered his tracks well.
Are things that serious?
Don't freak out, Pepe, but after crunching numbers,
it looks like he might've stolen around one million.
-Dollars. -One million dollars?
That's my money! How could he steal that much?
We can't sit idly by. We have to do something!
RVG's appraiser's feel the same as the accountants.
A lawsuit would do you more harm than good.
I don't believe this.
This isn't the time to throw in the towel.
If you keep singing like you are now,
you'll multiply that amount before you can imagine.
I'm going to have to!
Especially now that I've got so much responsibility.
Forgive me, but after the outburst Jose witnessed
I'm very scared he'll leave me
to go after Anel and never come back.
Please try to stay calm.
Anel seeing you with Jose is a victory for you, dear.
What does she see when she looks at you?
Husband and wife, a storybook marriage.
She's dying of jealousy, you dig?
You know that's not true. It is not a storybook marriage.
Dear, please try to remain even-tempered.
Where's the love for yourself? Have better self-esteem.
I mean it, you are worth so much.
Of course, you cannot neglect the relationship.
Keep an eye on it.
I don't know what to do.
Filming on<i> La Carrera del</i> <i> Millón</i> remains postponed.
But I'm still getting paid the same, right?
Not until filming is resumed.
In the meantime we sit here and wait.
There's the premiere of<i> Un Sueño de Amor.</i>
Galindo's movies do well.
With Veronica Castro as a lead, the royalties ought to be great.
Good, I remain committed to that project.
And the other singing projects.
After that, Kiki and I are going away.
It's the best time to go on vacation.
And when is?
Kiki and I have to stay out of the limelight for a time.
So then right now.
You come first. Take care of yourself.
Thanks, Chumo.
I have to go to Claveria.
I'll say my goodbyes because I'm going to Juarez.
I'll walk with you. I'm leaving too.
See you later.
Goodbye.
See you.
Mom.
Son!
It's great to see you. You hadn't come by in a while.
It hasn't been that long.
Hey, you remember the money I gave you?
Of course. Thank you very much.
The problem is I've run into some trouble and...
Really?
You spent too much on the wedding.
-I told you to save that money. -That's not the reason.
I was taken advantage of.
Those people are no longer in my life,
and I'll tell you about it some other time,
but I need that money.
Did you give it to me so I'd hold it for you?
No, that money is yours.
As soon as I get more, I'll give it all back to you.
The thing is, I don't have all of it anymore.
Well, to be honest, I don't have any of it.
