THE POWER OF BEAUTY

"THIS STORY IS A WORK OF FICTION,

BASED ON AND INSPIRED

BY REAL-LIFE EVENTS."

[Óscar] 1995. Medellín.

The main character

in our country's darkest hour

had decided to turn the page

and become the capital of good ideas.

Of good news.

No more looking back.

Beauty and fashion would become,

from now on,

the city's headline news.

[man] Thanks.

I hope it all goes well.

We've been working on the logistics

for this event a lot

to make it impeccable.

If things go as I've imagined,

we can finally launch this brand.

Relax, Salomón.

Everything will go very well.

-All of your events are very good.

-I hope so.

Thanks.

Mom Mimi!

[Mimi] Go on in, please.

-What do you think?

-Honey.

Spectacular, I love it. Óscar.

And what about you?

Relax, have a drink,

take your glasses off, get a massage.

-Sure. Come with me to the bar?

-[Óscar] Sure.

You must be one of the lucky few

to bring their mom to an event like this.

Wherever I bring my old,

conservative parents, they fall asleep.

Or they'll think I'm g*y.

[tense musical flourish]

[electronic music]

[assistant] Okay, girls, let's go.

We're running late.

We have ten minutes.

Girl, you.

Go change.

-I did.

-Change places with someone else!

I don't like you, I don't know who

said you could be a model. Eugenia!

Come here, please.

Goddess, come.

You'll go out twice, with your outfit

and with this rag. Did you hear that?

You, vanish. Vanish, go on.

Very well, thanks.

[Jordi] Hey.

Don't take anything off, eh?

You hit the catwalk, head up high,

looking this gorgeous.

-But Adrián told me

-Forget Adrián.

I couldn't care less.

I am Jordi,

and I say you hit the catwalk.

Understood?

Let him change places

with someone less fat and less idiotic.

Everything as we rehearsed it, eh?

She's on.

The client and I have approved her.

Mr. Grosso, Mr. Grosso.

-I see this is a very international show.

-Ah, yes, of course.

This is 1995, we're going

full throttle.

Coltextura, Colombian fabrics,

but with international models.

It's the best combination.

The region's best models

are coming to Colombia

and Grosso Models is a premium agency,

featuring only the best. Okay? Thank you.

Okay, girls, let's go. Are you ready?

You've rehearsed this choreography

many times,

so let's all do this!

Let's k*ll it! Let's win!

Let's go, hurry, come on!

Let's go!

[upbeat pop music]

[applause]

[Óscar] Hold on. What's going on?

What's happening? Is it 1995 already?

Was there an international modeling agency

in Colombia and Shaio wasn't there?

Lovely models, the show and everything,

but I should stop,

because I'm getting ahead of myself.

I should mention what happened

with Shaio, her sister and her cousin.

All this time, were they traveling?

Studying?

What about Berny?

Did he face the music?

What about the agency?

And Edgar and the concert?

And Kelly?

Hollman?

The marriage, her mom?

No, it's all very juicy

and I have to tell you.

Okay, first things first.

About that concert.

Gentlemen, I need two more chairs

on that side,

because we will be five.

There are three spectacular women coming.

Mine is the prettiest.

Laurita, my girlfriend.

You'll recognize her because

she has perfect hair and smells amazing.

There's a guy coming with them,

we'll sit him here.

I'll sit over there with them.

This table should also be on this side.

Watch out for their arrival.

As soon as they arrive, you immediately

bring them here.

I don't want them to miss a single song.

Got it? Bye, bye, bye, let's go.

[Maniquí] Edgar!

[whistling]

-Excuse us.

-Excuse us. Cheers! Edgar!

-Where is she?

-Where are the girls?

[intriguing comical music]

[sinister tone]

Please, help me.

Don't do this to me, okay?

The concert must have started already

and I can't look that guy in the face

ever again.

Shaio, get dressed.

-Shaio!

-I don't want to!

I told you that I want to stay here,

watch movies and cry in peace.

Shaio, you already know that Brad Pitt

slept with her and then stole from her.

-Why are you like this?

-Well, that's why.

Because she trusted him

and he betrayed her.

I can't believe this, really.

Why are you so hard on her?

Can't you see it's also happening to her?

Nobody stole from me.

Some photos were stolen,

and that's why it all happened.

Lau,

go by yourself.

He'll be the luckiest man alive.

Alone with Edgar?

[in English] Never.

Óscar.

Óscar, let's go.

-Laura

-Look, he thinks

that you're my boyfriend. Let's go!

Fine, let's go.

No! No.

He came to give me emotional support

and he stays. Stay put.

-[Óscar] That's why I came.

-Why not? Let him go.

-He's not going. Óscar.

-Óscar, let's go.

Óscar.

-[Shaio] Óscar.

-[Laura] Óscar!

-Óscar.

-Moni!

I don't know when I lost my way

and stopped insisting.

I was paralyzed,

disoriented.

I thought about how much

that decision would cost us.

You can't just stand up

a guy like Edgar.

You can't.

[applause and cheers]

You, same old you, always you ♪

Friendship ♪

Tenderness, what do I know? ♪

You ♪

My long-time shadow, you ♪

-Bravo!

-Bravo!

A love story ♪

-Bravo! Hey, he's really good.

-Bravo!

That didn't amount to anything ♪

I'll take this.

You, my eternal you ♪

-Bravo, bravo.

-Bravo!

A hotel ♪

To Edgar!

Your body and a farewell ♪

You ♪

My secret friend, you ♪

A stroke of passion ♪

Early morning love ♪

There is no bond between you and I ♪

There were no promises ♪

Or vows ♪

[raucous laughter]

Wow, they stood you up good, man.

You were so stood up,

your boxers could have pitched a tent,

man.

You know what? I propose

that starting today, we change

his nickname from interior designer

to outdoor ragman.

Because they wiped the floor with him

and did whatever they pleased.

And how much was it?

Ten million,

five bottles, the champagne

Hold your horses,

the champagne hasn't gone to waste.

We'll drink it ourselves,

like the royals we are.

-Attaboy! Give the kid some.

-Here.

-Just a sip for the baby, a sip

-[Maniquí laughs]

Well, since it seems like

there's still energy,

-let's dance.

-Let's dance!

-Let's dance, yeah, come on. Go.

-Let's dance.

[Edgar moans]

-No.

-[Tanga laughs]

INTERIOR DESIGN

[raucous laughter]

[both in singsong] Doormat! Doormat!

[both laugh]

Doormat, doormat!

[Maniquí] Doormat, doormat!

We have the best doormat.

Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey, hey!

[Tanga laughs]

[Maniquí] Sorry,

I think what just happened

is disrespectful.

[beeping from various pagers]

Edgar.

Edgar.

Edgar. Edgar, man, this is serious.

[thud]

[tense music]

[Tanga] Edgar, bro, let's go.

Let's go, bro, this is serious. Let's go.

Who's there?

[Edgar] Elver?

Who's outside?

[pager beeping]

THE BOSS FLED

Elver!

When did I get the bright idea

to look through that damn window?

If Edgar was mean enough

to beat up my photographer friend

for taking a pic of him with messy hair,

what could I expect after what I saw?

What was I to do? It's obvious.

Bolt out of there.

Vanish.

But no.

[radio announcer] We report

from La Catedral,

the maximum-security jail,

where there's just been a prison break

by Pablo Escobar Gaviria,

head of the Medellín cartel.

I repeat, Pablo Escobar Gaviria

has just escaped,

the head of the Medellín cartel.

Witnesses claim

he made a run for it after taking hostages

including, believe it or not,

the Deputy Secretary of the Interior.

-This is confirmed

-No.

That's impossible.

[announcer] Escobar apparently

broke free single-handedly

in the middle of the night

and dressed as a woman.

We repeat: Pablo Escobar Gaviria

has escaped from La Catedral.

[Elver] Hey, Edgar.

You're sobered up with that scare, right?

I'm fine now.

You need anything?

No, no.

Stay there.

[soft dramatic music]

Why did the boss

have to flee from that jail

that was like a resort?

I think someone betrayed him.

What we have to do is

pack up and hide.

Or the boss will take everything we have.

It's going to be

a tough w*r.

Tough and costly.

[Edgar] Nobody wants to lose anything.

Right?

-Are you suggesting we betray?

-No, no, no.

No, no, no.

I'm saying that if you guys

were to get lost,

if you were to vanish,

nobody could take anything from you.

What about you?

We've given you a lot of the boss's money

for you to set this up.

Things are different for me, sir.

I am Edgar Trejo,

the famous interior designer.

There's no reason to come looking for me.

If they find anything,

it's because of a snitch.

Hmm?

So, I don't know you,

or if you have the boss's stuff.

And you don't know me

and didn't give me anything.

Got it?

And tonight never happened.

Only you guys saw what happened.

If anyone finds out,

I'll know who it was.

And I'll have to act.

So, nothing about the doormat?

No, nothing. I've erased it.

Everything's gone. Erased, erased.

What about Elver?

I'll handle Elver myself.

-Deal?

-Deal.

[Óscar] They made a pact.

Just by the looks on their faces,

I knew they were up to no good.

[Tanga] Good night.

They planned what to do

after the news they'd heard.

I was only thinking

about how to save my skin.

And about praying.

[announcer] Attention! A nephew

of Pablo Escobar Gaviria

in jail at La Catedral de Envigado

has just contacted us

through this news channel,

and confirmed the following

Firstly, that Pablo Escobar is unharmed.

Secondly, that he requests

the presence of church representatives.

Thirdly, that Escobar

and part of his crew currently with him

are heavily armed for the days ahead.

This is the scoop. Pablo Escobar is,

right now, hidden in a tunnel in Envigado.

Are you worried

about the news we heard?

Yes.

But I'm more hurt by what Laura did to me.

Nobody makes me look like a fool, Elver.

I'm sure that it was

something that happened

on the way to the concert

and that's why they never showed.

Don't beat yourself up about it.

Whose side are you on, dumbass?

[soft tense music]

Laura didn't go

because she didn't feel like it.

Because good-looking chicks

think the world's not good enough,

that everyone has to kiss up to them.

And you know what? I'm done with them.

[Elver sighs and laughs]

So, what do you plan to do? Because

you're their neighbor.

You live next to them.

You'll have to move out

if you don't want to see them again.

[laughs]

Who said I didn't want to see them again?

[soft tense music]

I said that this isn't the end of this.

They don't know who they crossed

or what I'm capable of.

And you be very careful

about saying anything, Elver.

To anyone.

Hey, but, Edgar,

"Doormat"?

At least, carpet, because

[laughs]

[Óscar] That night,

not only Edgar was humiliated.

Escobar's escape was a huge embarrassment

for my country,

the runner-up in the world of beauty.

The country that thought

it had left poverty behind.

Escobar, in the streets,

made everyone look like a fool,

causing trouble for everyone

in the country.

[sirens wailing]

And that feeling that everything

had changed when Paola won,

well, we had to postpone for a while.

-Where is Shaio?

-What is it?

Shaio!

[Óscar] For Shaio, Laura and Moni,

life got ahead of them.

They had to go to the USA

before they'd planned.

[emotional music]

PRIVATE SECURITY

[Óscar] But without running into Edgar.

AKA Doormat by then.

And without finding out

about his humiliation at her hands.

-[horn honks]

-Óscar! Move it, man!

What about the stars from Barranca?

They also postponed their dreams

of being models.

Especially Kelly.

["Wedding March" playing]

[notary] Sign the certificates.

["Wedding March" continues]

STATES - EDICTS - NOTICES

[notary] And now,

you may share your first kiss

as a married couple.

[light applause]

No, again, hey.

-Was that okay? Good.

-[photographer] Yes.

Thanks to all of you, truly.

Dear mother-in-law, I'm sorry

you can't come with us.

But, well,

you were with your daughter

during this important step.

Uh, let's see.

I'll take you this way.

Kelly, as soon as you get there,

tell me where I can call you.

And when I can come and visit you.

And I promise you that I

I'll visit you after the test.

I think that, after this,

we can speed up the paperwork.

Hopefully the insurance

goes through quickly.

-Mmm?

-Thanks.

Okay.

Hollman, may I speak with my daughter

alone for a minute?

Yes.

[Nayibe] Do you know how to take these?

One per day.

And if they run out,

go buy more at the pharmacy.

Don't you dare have a child, Kelly.

Don't you dare.

Well, that's the last thing I want.

But I thought you wanted me

to start a family with Hollman.

It's one thing to get married.

It's another to k*ll your dream,

which is also mine.

Look, Kelly,

I know I owe you my life,

but I promise you, I promise,

that as soon as I can stand,

as soon as I'm better,

we'll continue with our plans.

You are going places as a model, okay?

I swear.

Mom

I want to ask you something.

How did you manage to do

what you did before?

How did you manage

to sleep with a guy you didn't like?

[soft piano music]

Oh, Kelly, don't be silly.

Hollman isn't like those guys.

Hollman is a good man.

Yes, a little strange, a little rough,

but he's a hard worker, he's responsible,

and he loves you.

Learn to love him.

Do what I was told

by the school's priest.

"Go along with him

so you get what you want."

Okay, my love, can we go?

Let's take a family photo

-before we leave.

-No, Hollman!

Of course! My mother-in-law, my wife

You have to get it right,

because this photo

we will be blowing up and hanging

in the living room at home, huh?

Okay. Move over, so we all fit in.

Wait, we're not ready yet.

Come, come closer.

[Óscar] Things heated up for Kelly.

But what really caught fire

was the country.

With Escobar's escape,

the bombs, the drive-bys,

and the violence came back.

Everything.

But what happened to the beauty scene

that had such a bright future?

Did it keep winning? Well

I would say it was "almost winning."

The exotic, exuberant and charismatic

Paula Andrea Betancourt

won as Miss Colombia and one year later,

was runner-up again in Miss Universe.

And third time's the charm:

the same happened to Carolina Gómez.

Three beautiful women,

three runners-up for Miss Universe.

They didn't celebrate as hard

as the first time,

and our country's history

didn't divide into two or three.

Even so,

nobody took our title as

the world runner-up of beauty

and world champions of the absurd.

Three years later, we were the same little

town with delusions of grandeur.

And although Pereira had been destroyed

by one of the nation's worst earthquakes

[sirens and horns wail]

in Bogotá they were planning

the first homegrown Woodstock,

which is still in vogue,

the Rock in the Park.

[upbeat music]

[shouting and cheering]

[cheers and applause]

-[Laura] Congratulations!

-[Shaio] How exciting, I can't believe it.

It's been three years.

Three years just flew by so fast!

[excited squeals]

[all laugh]

I have something

very important to tell you.

You're pregnant?

Yeah, right.

Oh, did you get a girlfriend?

No, no, I know!

You slept with the professor,

with that cutie.

Oh, you wish, right?

[Moni] No, you're going too far, Laura.

Whatever, as long as

it doesn't affect our beach trip,

because I want to tan, I'm so pale.

This morning I got a call

that will change my plans.

And yours too, I hope.

[laughs, in English] Thank you, Danny.

Hello?

Osquitar, what's up?

Tell me, how long will you be

in California? Is everything okay?

[Óscar] It's fine, as always.

My friend, Salomón Levi,

invited me to a runway show in Medellín,

and as soon as I got to Bogotá,

I wanted to call you.

Oh!

How was it? Was it the Coltextura show?

-How did it go?

-Wow, the runway show was incredible.

But fashion needs you, believe me.

-When do you plan to return?

-Uh

I don't know, after the summer. Why?

Are you still interested

in starting your agency?

Obviously.

If you don't hurry,

things will get complicated.

At Grosso's runway show,

they were bragging

that they are the first and only

international agency in Colombia.

How can Grosso be international?

Obviously, that's false.

Well, they only have

a couple of models from Argentina

and two from who knows where.

But you know how people are here.

As soon as they see a foreigner,

they label them as "international."

But that's why I'm calling you.

Because, knowing how provincial we are,

it'll be front-page news tomorrow,

just mark my words.

But that can't happen.

I was the first one to raise the issue.

How come?

So, what happened?

Jail sex trumped your ambition, right?

Oh, you don't have to remind me, okay?

Why did you ask the models for their pics

and info? To simply fail to deliver?

Look, Shaio,

I'm going to be honest with you.

If you don't hurry, you'll end up

like the Colombian queens:

a runner-up.

So, they stole your idea.

Nobody stole anything from me.

Lau, help me, please?

Look, I know Grosso and his people

very well.

Okay? I know that they're arrogant

and despise the beauty queens

because they're

I don't know, voluptuous.

That's not thinking big.

Well, I think

that we have to go to the beach

and think about what we'll do,

because we definitely can't allow

them to get away with this.

If you want, you both can go to the beach,

but I have a plan.

[upbeat music]

Did you not see this?

-Didn't you read the article in here?

-No, let's see.

Here.

"Steven Brandon,

top model Cindy Fox's boyfriend

and king of New York's nightlife."

[Moni] Let's see.

Interesting.

Well, he's not my type,

but he dresses well.

Well, of course he's not your type,

because he's Cindy Fox's.

-Got it?

-Well, he is my type

for doing business.

[Moni] Earth to Shaio.

You'll call him up and say what?

Hi, I'm Shaio,

from Colombia.

Hello? Beep, beep, beep.

[woman] Steven Brandon International.

How can I help you?

[in English] Hi, this is Shaio Domínguez

from Colombia.

I'm looking

for Mr. Steven Brandon, please.

[in English] "Columbia"?

[in English] Colombia, with an "o."

South America?

Look. I have a business proposal

for Mr. Brandon.

I would like to see if it's possible

to talk to him.

[in Spanish] So you thought they'd just

let you talk to him that easily?

Well, what if I told you that

is what happened.

It happened! I mean, I don't know

if he thought it was very exotic that

they were calling from Colombia, but ah!

So, what did you tell him?

For starters,

my heart nearly came out of my chest.

I was really nervous, yet super convinced

and super confident,

and I was like

I said, "I represent some models,

and, well, I need a seat at the table."

[Laura and Moni laugh]

[Shaio] Mmm.

Who will bring you? I won't.

Oh, I know.

You see, there's something else

I haven't told you.

Huh?

[soft piano music]

[Nico] I think this is it, hon.

[Shaio] Where?

-Here. See, yes, we're here.

-Here?

-How exciting.

-You'll do fine.

Oh, but I'm nervous.

Nico, what will I offer him?

It doesn't matter, sweetie.

You should know this.

Any man would die

to do business with you, I swear.

You'll do very well.

-Thanks.

-I'll get the door.

[whispers] Okay.

[Nico] Okay, sweetheart, it's all yours.

-[sighs] Thank you.

-Okay.

Let me clarify why Nico was calling Shaio

"sweetie"

and opening the car door for her.

How can I sum this up?

After Nico got Berny out of the way

and Shaio dumped his a*s for that

and left the country,

Nico decided not to waste time.

Right?

He studied for his master's

at a university

that was 30 minutes from their house.

[laughs] He started approaching Shaio

to win her back,

and, little by little, he became

indispensable.

He carried suitcases,

did repairs around the house,

he helped them move a few times.

He even bought their groceries.

Above all, he really helped Shaio

with her university assignments.

He became a photographer,

model, editor, assistant

Although what really made a difference

was the day Nico gave her

some terrible news.

News that would leave Shaio

in a really bad place.

[emotional music]

But I don't I don't understand

why my dad didn't call me,

or Laura, or Santi,

-to tell us anything.

-My love, my love.

He adores you,

and he doesn't want to hurt you.

And he thought that the best way

for all of you to find out

was for me to come and tell you.

Joaco asked me, as a favor,

to tell you this.

He said to say that he loves you.

That he is strong and he feels optimistic.

And no matter what, he'll never fail you.

You understand?

Sweetie, he will never fail you guys.

How far along is the cancer?

Honestly, I don't have much time, Nico.

But my children can't know yet.

That's why I need you to swear

that you'll always be with Shaio.

Absolutely.

No matter what.

No matter what.

Whoever she marries.

It's not so advanced

that there's no treatment.

He'll be okay, he's strong.

You need to have faith.

-I have to go to Colombia.

-No.

No, listen to me.

Your dad asked me to come and be with you

until you finish school.

Once you finish, you'll go and visit him.

No, but what if something happens

to him before I finish?

My love, nothing will happen to him,

he'll be fine.

-I can't believe it.

-Look.

Besides, you can be at peace because

I gave him my word.

I promised him

that I'll take care of you

your whole life.

And I'll never let anyone hurt you

if he's not around.

[somber music]

If you let me, Shaio

I

want to make you happy

for your whole life.

And keep that promise to your dad

until death do us part.

[Óscar] Now, let's get back to the agency.

[upbeat music]

[in English] So, this is

your agency's book?

[in English] Yeah.

Well, this is what I have here.

But we have a lot more.

These are just some of the models

that we have at the moment.

And you're sure

they don't work for any other agency?

Oh, I'm sure.

[suspenseful music]

[Óscar] No way.

Not only did she not know if they had

contracts with anyone else,

she didn't even know

if she had them signed.

[in English] I gotta be honest with you.

This is completely different

to what we have here.

And I like it.

I mean, I'm interested.

Do you mind if I practice my Spanish

a little?

Oh! Please!

[in Spanish] See, I had

a Colombian girlfriend a while ago.

And that's why I understand the culture

-a little.

-Okay.

Because Latina women

have something very special,

and it's very difficult

well, to explain.

You have more than these women, yes?

[in Spanish] Many more.

The thing is, I don't have the material

here with me, but they're

incredible.

And I also understand very well

when you talk about

what Latina women have.

Because you don't know how much

strength and drive they can have

in order to achieve things.

I mean, they're authentic well,

we're authentic women,

full of life

and very eager to work very hard.

Do you have partners?

My cousin and my sister.

Nobody else?

Because, you know, I don't want

to do business with weird people.

You understand? Colombia

Drug traffickers

[in English] Money laundering.

I don't want problems with the law.

Of course.

And don't worry about that,

we're not involved in that.

This is a family business.

I hope that's true.

Because

I want to change my agency's image,

I want to revolutionize.

If you say you have more of these women

and that they're signed,

we can form a partnership.

I will give you

representation of my agency in Colombia,

and you grant exclusivity

of your models to me. Okay?

[uplifting music]

Uh

Can I think about it for a few days?

[scoffs]

[in English] You're telling me

that I'm offering you to be my partner,

and you need to think about it?

[in Spanish] I should tell you

to go to hell.

As you say.

But I like you, you know that?

You need ba*ls to come and talk to me.

So, no.

You can't think about it for a day.

You can go back to your country,

send me documents for your agency,

and I'll send you the contract.

Take it or leave it.

[in English] Thank you.

Bye, have a good one.

Oh, that girl's a bombshell ♪

[excited squeal]

-[Nico] What?

-I did it, I did it, I did it!

I have an international partner

for the agency!

-[squeals]

-My love, congratulations.

Oh, thanks.

-How exciting! I can't believe it.

-We have to celebrate.

-Come on.

-Oh my God.

But I don't have an agency.

[Óscar] But she did have a partner.

A really weird one.

One she had humiliated

and left stewing in resentment,

nicknamed "Doormat," thanks to them.

A guy who they definitely

needed to escape from.

Oh, my beautiful Colombia ♪

Oh, my pretty Colombia ♪

Oh, land of colors ♪

[Shaio] Finally!

Oh, I give you my life ♪

[Laura squeals excitedly]

-How are you?

-[guard] Miss!

"Hi, Osquitar. How are you?

I missed you a lot, too."

-Oh, Osquitar!

-Watch out!

I'd forgotten you existed.

-Just kidding. How was California?

-Good.

-Oh!

-A success, right?

-Hey, how was life in California?

-Good, but success gets boring.

Lots of money, of course, but

I'd rather help you set up your agency

before you bang your heads against a wall.

-Ah!

-[Óscar] Hey, let's see.

-Well, well! You didn't waste time.

-Come on, Mr. Marcelo. Thanks.

Come on,

Joaquín will worry if he doesn't see you.

[Óscar laughs]

Ah, you're not going to ask me

about Berny?

I know you want to know.

[Paulina] Shaio, my love.

Thanks for helping us with the suitcases.

Thank you very much, Óscar.

-See you inside.

-I'm coming.

How much did they bring?

[intriguing music]

[Joaquín] What a blessing! Welcome home.

-[Joaquín laughs]

-[Shaio] Oh!

-How are you?

-How much did you bring?

Hi!

We almost brought Santi.

What? No.

He was expelled?

No! But it's like he's trying to be,

every day.

-[Paulina] That's right.

-I'm not surprised.

Mr. Joaquín.

-[Laura] Dad, I missed you so much.

-I missed you too.

-I'm glad you're all home.

-I missed you so much.

Hi, Tuli.

-Hi, Miss Laura.

-Excuse me.

-Sit, sit.

-[Shaio] Thanks.

-Everything's the same. What's this?

-[Joaquín] Yes.

I was going to throw them out.

They're all of the photos and letters

that arrived when you made

that announcement on the radio.

You're kidding!

[Paulina] From girls

who wanted to model.

All this?

No, that news about the partnership

with that international agency

is the best!

Congratulations!

-We have to announce it right away.

-Thanks, Dad.

Thanks. Yes, well,

tomorrow I need to choose a name,

create the company,

and, well,

Laura, Moni and I will be partners.

[Joaquín] Oh, that's wonderful!

Where's Nico?

He didn't travel with you?

Yes, Mom, but he stayed behind

to hand over our apartment,

so he said he'll arrive in a few days.

We have to organize a welcome party

for that boy

that's over the top.

I can't thank him enough

for what he did for you in Boston.

And for me.

Are you engaged again, Shaio?

[soft dramatic music]

Shaio Domínguez de Rocha.

They didn't tell you?

We have a wedding date.

Good things take time, but they come.

-Date?

-These are from everywhere.

Huh? Cali,

Cúcuta,

-Popayán

-Santander

Barranca

Barranca?

[upbeat music]

This is Kelly Sepúlveda.

Miss Shaio, I wanted to ask

if you had received my photos.

Of course!

She's the one who said

she would send me photos, remember?

Kelly!

Gorgeous.

Gorgeous!

Oh, this must have cost her a fortune.

[Laura] For sure.

Because if I was excited,

just imagine how she felt.

Everything in its own time.

Now you have an international partner!

Mrs. Paulina,

lunch is served.

Let's see.

You're also partners with Edgar, right?

[tense music]

With whom?

[Óscar] With Edgar.

What?

What are you talking about?

[Óscar] You signed a paper, remember?

-Partner.

-There.

As soon as you announce

that you have an agency,

he'll show up with that paper, no doubt.

Well, if that's the case,

I'll take extreme measures.

I'll ask him to meet,

and let him know how things stand.

[horns honking]

[whistle blows]

INTERIOR DESIGN

Thank you so much for seeing me

so quickly.

It was very important for me

to talk to you.

Please, no need to thank me.

We've been neighbors for so long,

why wouldn't I?

Want a drink?

-Champagne, wine? Whiskey?

-Thanks.

Coffee?

I'm fine.

Shall we go to my office?

-Yes.

-This way, please.

[Shaio] Thanks.

[Edgar] Have a seat.

Just wait here a minute.

I have to take a call, I'll be back.

-Mm-hmm?

-Okay.

I have a special present for you.

[soft music]

Oh, Edgar! You shouldn't have, really.

Since when do I need permission

to give gifts?

Mm-mm.

I'll be back. Stay here.

Uh-huh, okay.

[emotional music]

Shaio.

[dramatic sting]

[emotional music]

The most beautiful gift in the world

is seeing you again.

[emotional music continues]
