How do you think the insinuation
of something between you two looks for me?

Alexander, I don't like it either.

But I can't refuse Víctor's help
for the foundation. Support me in this.

"Support me in this." How lovely.

When you ask for my support, it's valid.

But when I ask for your support for
the country, for the candidacy, then no.

How do you think
the head of the party looks

when there's possible infidelity
in his marriage?

You know it's not like that.

No. The truth doesn't matter here.

What matters here is perception.

What we get people to believe.

I'm sorry, but for me,
the truth is and will be

-the most important.
-Yeah, yeah.

I think the best solution is
to talk about this publicly.

So, like, what are you saying?

Let's do an interview.

We invite Víctor, and we all
refute the gossip and doubts. That's it.

No, no, no, no.

That could be counterproductive.

Why?

"He who excuses himself, accuses himself."

The more we talk about this,
the more suspicion we'll raise.

Fine. All I want is for this to have
no effect on your candidacy.

Let's wait and see just how viral
this issue becomes,

how many comments it has,

how many likes it gets,

and we'll see if it's worth it
to respond or not.

Okay. It should be what you think is best.

That Víctor's nice, huh?

And the best part is
people kind of like that, don't they?

That… that lack of class.

Plus, the thing is,
there are women who like that.

[dramatic sting]

Rehabilitating the maladjusted. [laughs]

[phone vibrates]

[ranchera music plays in the background]

[cell phone rings]

Hello, my love.

Where are you?

Iván told me you didn't go.

Yes, love. The thing is…
I'm in town and thinking of staying

a while longer.

He told me about your dad, too.

I'm very sorry, Dani.

Tell me how I can help you.

No, no, no. Don't worry.

You can't help me with anything right now.

Thanks anyway.

I'm worried about you.

Iván is, too.

Why?

Because of what you could do
to get even with your dad.

Ah, then you've been talking
about me a lot.

[dark, dramatic music]

Don't get upset.

Iván's been very nice to me.

He's even going to upload an article
in the paper that mentions me.

And, well, yes,

we ended up talking about other things.

Yes, the truth is Iván

is very diligent.

I love

that he's working so hard to help you.

[music fades]

[cheering]

-[Amalia] Good!
-What's up?

Good? You liked it?

I think you'll have to give
them one from the new album.

-[audience] Another!
-They're going wild.

[Amalia] Do one.

[audience] Another, another!

[cheers]

-Shall I?
-[woman] Oof!

[woman] Yes! [laughs]

This song that I'm going to play for you

is a very special song.
And, besides being special,

even my musicians don't know it.

-[woman yells]
-[applause]

Pal, do you know it now?

-More or less, but let's go for it.
-Let's go for it.

-The only one here…
-[cheers]

The only one who knows it
is my star guitarist.

And we're going to sing it
here with you for the first time.

And I hope you enjoy it a lot.

[audience cheers]

Ladies and gentlemen, "Mujer."

CARRERA
BATTLE WITH STAGE 3 STOMACH CANCER

[Alexander] This is a coup de grâce.

Brilliant, Débora.

[sinister music]

[knocking at door]

Come in.

Sir, they need you in the boardroom.

I'm coming, Sara.

Politics is…

[whispers] Savage.

[dramatic sting]

[Alexander] I'm very sorry.

I didn't know
the situation was so definitive.

The directors' decision was
absolutely deplorable.

Maybe if you had been honest…

The truth above all.

I'm not in the habit
of making my private life public.

What I don't understand is who could send
the information to that digital outlet.

I don't know either.
I'm completely surprised.

What it means is
that we have a traitor in the party ranks.

Many presidents have had cancer

and served their term without problems.

What are you trying to say?

But if you get elected president

and the seriousness of the diagnosis
gets out and you didn't tell the public,

the heavy blow won't just hit you…

but the whole party.

I was hoping to become a national hero

-fighting against that illness.
-No. They're a plague.

If the Counterpoint people run that story
when you're president, it's different.

But right now, when the party's candidate
is being chosen? Forget it.

The party has already decided.

-[clears throat]
-You're the official candidate

for Nationwide United Family,
for president of the Republic.

Congratulations.

[dramatic sting]

Sometimes you win.

Sometimes you lose.

And sometimes politics is…

cruel.

[sinister music]

I won't forget you had a hand in this.

Neither will I.

Think about what position
you want when I'm president.

[sinister music continues]

[Fernán] Okay, gentlemen,
give me your attention.

This is Mrs. Gisela,

the new forewoman of this ranch. Mm?

From this moment on, you answer to her.

But if anyone has any problems, speak now.

You'll get your severance pay, done.

You can go and work somewhere else.

Got it?

I want you to treat her with respect

because she'll be your new boss.

Gerardo,

turn the position over to her and tell her
her duties and how things work here.

[dramatic sting]

Listen,

the hallway bathroom

is exclusively for Gisela's use.

You all use the one in the back.

Got it?

[all] Yes, sir.

[dramatic music]

Nice way to make friends.

If anyone misbehaves, tell me.

I can take care of myself.

It's a big responsibility
you're giving me.

[Fernán laughs]

-Scared?
-[laughs] No.

Will it be too much?

Scared? Nothing's too much for me.

In fact, if your employees fall asleep,
I'll manage this ranch alone.

Okay, we'll see.

We'll see.

I'll be in town. I'll be back soon.

Be careful.

Welcome.

[music fades]

[Gerardo] …that I've earned.

Hey.

You could've told me you were giving her
the most important job.

But don't you keep saying
you do everything? Huh?

Well, I got you help.

By the way, how's my land?

-The Parras and Sánchezes want to sell.
-Mm.

Who else?

I don't know yet.

[dramatic music]

Focus on that. It's a priority.

And don't think about nonsense, man.

Ugh. You're like a child.

That woman is moving
way faster than I imagined.

[tense music]

[music fades]

I wanted to see you with my own eyes.

Why are you here?

I'm here remembering the bad times.

About your inheritance, it's done.

That's your opinion.

The opinion of any lawyer.

I imagine you've already been asking.

Good morning.

Mr. Fernán, they said you needed me.

Give me my son's bill,
everything he's put on it.

Don't take a peso from him,
but get him out of here now.

-Oh, Mr. Fernán, don't rope me into this.
-Do what I say…

if you don't want any trouble.

Yes, sir.

You heard that, right?

I want you to leave town today.

[tense music]

It'll be difficult.

I simply have to order them
to remove you from the town,

kick you out.

Or maybe that they do worse to you.

You don't say.

It would be sad for that money
I gave you to rot in the bank.

Because there's no one to claim it.

Sad, right?

[music fades]

The press conference starts in two hours
but I want you to go now.

Alexander will meet you.
He knows you're going

-for an interview after the event.
-Perfect.

I also want you to talk to Carrera.
Talk to him, anyone you can.

Interview whoever you can,
and get a handle on

the electoral atmosphere,
all the stuff with Orduz's election.

-Okay?
-Fine.

Go on.

[cell phone rings]

Hello?

-[Daniel] How's it going?
-Good. Moving along.

Hey, did you hear United Family made
Alexander their presidential candidate?

Oh, yeah? No, well…
I didn't know. I'm happy for him.

Hey, Kitty called me.

-What did you discuss with her about me?
-The usual.

Does it seem usual to you
if I tell you things

that are confidential
and you share them with her?

Dani, brother. I'm worried
about what you're thinking of doing

to get even with Dad.

Worried for whom, Iván? For him or for me?

For both of you.

How does it involve Kitty?

Well, I think it's good she knows,
and more so because you're close.

Yes, but why did she have to know?

I'm afraid she'll get hurt.

I don't get what one thing
has to do with the other.

Oh, Dani. I already told you. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry if I messed up.

I didn't mean to. Forgive me?

What's odd about this is
I don't understand why two days ago

you didn't even remember who Kitty was

and now you're worrying
the most about her.

No, sir. You're the one
who told me to help her.

To help her, yes.

To set out to pursue her, no.

[dramatic music]

Daniel, you're seriously going to start
with that? You never fail, bro.

Why do you love seeing things
that aren't there?

What, do you deny it?

I'm not interested in her.

Look, Iván.

Let's hope it's true.

One jerk in the family is enough.

Hi.

-How are you?
-Kitty.

I'm glad you're here. I was just about
to go out to lunch, so we'll go together.

I can't. I have a meeting next door.

But I came to thank you.

For what?

Well, for helping me with the networks
to move the project forward.

I found an investor. Can you believe it?

-Really?
-Yes.

No, but sit down. Tell me, please.

-His name is Eduardo Camacho.
-Mm-hmm.

He has a huge ranch.
He wants to switch to renewable energy.

He told me to do the pilot there.

No, we have to celebrate this.

Why don't you cancel that lunch
and we'll go?

I can't.

The ranch is super close to your dad's.

And I was thinking that Daniel,
well, he could go with me.

I don't know. He could help me
move the project forward.

[dramatic music]

I don't want to be a downer…

-but remember what I told you about Dani.
-Well, that's why it's perfect.

Because I can be with him,
I can listen to him.

I can learn what he thinks,
what he wants to do.

And I don't know. I can also distract him
so he doesn't think about Fernán.

The only thing left to do
is see the ranch.

And when will you do that?

Well, I have to talk to Eduardo,
but I think it can't go past

next week.

Okay. Tell me, and I'll take you.

No. Where'd you get that idea?

After all you've done for me,
it would be taking advantage of you.

No, no. I was thinking
of visiting my dad, so it's on our way.

Well, let me get everything settled
and I'll let you know.

Great.

-Okay. I'm going now.
-Now?

-Now!
-No, but this visit. What?

A quick one.

Thanks.

I got an investor thanks to you.

Mm-hmm.

We'll talk later.

Take care.

-What's up, Jimmy?
-Hi, Kitty.

I just emailed you
the article on renewable energy.

I'll upload it once you confirm.

-Don't publish anything.
-Why?

Well, because I'm telling you!

[tense music]

Okay. I'm going to United Family.
I'll update you later.

[music fades]

This is the chance
we've been waiting for with Alexander.

Get close to him and talk about
the issues that interest us.

Yes. Also, your son got me
a private interview

after the press conference.

He's repaying me favors.

With that article he published,
he practically gave him the candidacy.

I'm counting on you, Jimmy.

Mess with his head. Tell him everything
you know about Karen and that singer.

Don't worry.

Exploit it, son.

He's the boyfriend
of the wife's best friend. Use it. Hmm?

So, you approach him
as if you're doing him a favor

so he doesn't think
you're coercing him, careful.

Act like you're protecting him.

And for that, you're going to become
his private investigator. Understand?

Okay.

[suspenseful music]

[music fades]

Good afternoon.

-What happened?
-Mrs. Karen, all is in order.

-Mrs. Patricia's husband did not return.
-Oh, that's good.

And who's she with? Alone? A doctor?

Uh… not a doctor.

With Mr. Víctor Rodríguez.

-And you let him in without authorization?
-Uh… Well, Mrs. Karen,

it's Mr. Víctor Rodríguez.

[soft music]

-[Víctor] Mm-hmm.
-[Karen] Hi.

How are you, ma'am?

Did something happen?

Yes.

Patricia…

tell Karen what's happening.

Tell her.

I'm going to report Diego.

[hopeful music]

[whispers] Oh, Patricia.

[Gerardo] Come, Felipe.
Next to the warehouse.

Alejo, you unload.

Okay, Raúl. So,
you brought 29, right? Okay.

[Gisela] We ordered 30, we receive 30.

Yes. He's bringing it next week. Go ahead.

No. He brings it now.

Next week is fine, Raúl.

-We order 30, we pay for 30.
-I'm going to tell you this.

It's my job, not yours.

Gerardo, you're in charge of the food.
I'm in charge of the money.

So, he'll get paid when he brings it.

[tense music]

The prodigal son comes home.

Don't tell me they put you to work now.

One must earn their keep.

Did you come to stay?

-I have to.
-Mm.

I only hope they haven't
given you my room.

I'll share.

I snore.

Ah, so do I.

[both chuckle]

You really don't learn, do you, Daniel?
You're so stubborn.

Why are you here?

Since you had me kicked out of the hotel,
I had to come home.

Leave, please. Don't start trouble.

Are you threatening me again?

I'm repeating it.

Don't worry. My lawyer knows I'm here.

Ah, and I sent messages to Doris and Iván.

And so what?

I only tell you in case you want to
keep up your image as the perfect dad.

Gisela, I hope it goes well.

Daniel.

Wait, Fernán.

Wait.

Gisela, please.
Don't get involved in this, hmm?

Keep your friends close,

and your enemies closer.

That jerk will not win me over.

And don't you want to know
your son's intentions…

so he doesn't surprise you?

I can't do this. I should leave.

No, Patricia. Sit down, please. Sit down.

I know you're scared,

and it's normal to have doubts.

Trust me, you're doing the right thing.

Diego isn't a bad person.

I know he loves me.
He just goes crazy sometimes.

Mrs. Pati, he is a bad person,

who sometimes treats you well.

That doesn't undo the harm
he's caused you and your children.

He's still my children's dad.

But he's a dad
who does more harm than good.

Besides, think about the kids.

He's not a good example for the kids.

Think about it.

I believe that, in families,
loyalty and respect are much more

important than blood.

Because blood, at the end of the day,
only means you're relatives.

And neither you nor your children
have any obligation to that man.

I know it can be difficult.

I know that, sometimes,
you latch onto, like… the memories,

the few nice memories there are,

and the idea that people can change.

But if that hasn't happened by now,
it's better to leave, Pati.

[sighs]

What will I live on?

What'll I feed my boys?
I don't know how to do anything.

You know how to do many things.

The thing is,
you've never been paid for it.

Now you'll learn a lot more, really.

[dramatic sting]

[Víctor] Can I tell you?

You've already done the hardest part.

Made it through I don't know how many
years with that guy. That's brave.

And absolutely nothing will be too much
for you. Get that into your head.

[woman] Good afternoon.

Hello.

[clears throat] Third time's
the charm, ma'am.

[ominous music]

Reason for the procedure?

I'm here to report my husband.

[somber music]

Very good, Patricia.

Very good.

Diego Ruiz?

Yes. What is it?

You're under arrest.

-Why? I didn't do anything.
-Domestic violence.

Intentional and aggravated personal injury
against Patricia Arenas. Come with us.

[breathes heavily]

[officer] Take him.

Diego Ruiz, you're under arrest

for domestic violence and
intentional and aggravated personal injury

against Patricia Arenas.

Tell her I'm going to k*ll her.

I remind you, Mr. Ruiz, everything you
say will be used against you.

Agreed, agents?

[officer] Agreed.

You can take him.

[Diego snorts, grunts]

[police siren blares]

[Lidia] Oh, look who's here.

Oh, my child.

-[laughs]
-Mommy!

We have a surprise for you.

-Do you want to see it?
-We really missed you.

Thanks a lot, ma'am.

You don't have to thank me, Patricia.

You did everything.

Okay, we're going to show
Mom everything you did.

Some divine drawings.

-Woo-hoo!
-[Lidia] That's it, show her.

No, no. Tell me about this moment.
So beautiful. My God.

-[cell phone chimes]
-[exhales] Oh.

[hopeful music]

All good?

Diego's been arrested.

-No. Are you serious?
-[laughs]

Really? Karen, you did it.

We did it.

You had a lot to do with this, too.

[dramatic sting]

[tender music]

-[exhales]
-No.

Karen, I don't know
what's happening to me.

Why are you saying that?

[mumbles] What do I do to not feel
all these things I've never felt before?

-What do I do?
-Víctor, there are limits.

We can't let this happen.

I have a family.

I know.

I promise I wasn't going to say
anything for the same reason.

Why mess with my head

-if you know I'm married?
-I know. Forgive me.

Forgive me, okay?
I acted without thinking. I'm sorry.

[exhales] I got carried away, too.

But nothing can happen between us.

Karen…

I have no problem waiting
however long it takes.

No, the thing is
there's nothing to wait for.

We're already in the media.

And after this…

Why are you nervous?

You feel the same way I do, don't you?

[dramatic sting]

Is it true?

[dramatic music]

Víctor, please go.

It's okay.

It won't stay like this, anyway.

[dramatic music continues]

We'll talk later.

[music fades]

[tender piano music]

[car engine starts]

[tender piano music continues]

[music fades]

Are you okay?

[sighs]

Did you see that?

Oh, Lidia.

Just seeing him makes my day.

Because he surprises me,

he moves me,

and he makes me laugh.

When I'm with him
I feel like I can do anything.

You can't deny
that Víctor is a very special person.

And I swear I didn't realize.

Or maybe I didn't want to realize.

[sighs]

After that kiss…

I fell in love, Lidia.

[dramatic sting]

[Amalia laughs]

I'm so happy.
That's what you had to do. Yes.

We'll have a new star
at the production company.

Oh, but I don't want to let you down.

What? You won't let us down.

-No?
-No, ma'am. Have some faith. [grunts]

It's so scary.

-Fear is for chickens.
-Oh.

Oh, no. I know. I know it's scary. I know.

But Víctor, who has a good eye,
believes in you.

I'd walk on hot coals for you.
So build up your confidence, my love.

Feet on the ground, head in the clouds.

-Plus, we make a good team. [laughs]
-Always.

-[phone rings]
-Oh, okay. What's this?

-Hello?
-Mrs. Amalia.

It's Sandra, from the restaurant.

Yes. What's up, Sandrita?
Do we have pending business? Let me see.

All good?

Mmm. Well, what can I tell you?

So-so.

Víctor's here.

What happened?

I think it's better if you come.

-Fine, fine.
-What happened?

Víctor?

-What happened?
-We'll see.

Let's go, then.

-What? But is it okay?
-Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Amalia] Let's go.

Would giving yourself
a chance with him be so terrible?

Lidia, I'm a married woman.

You say it like it's a terminal illness
that can't be cured,

like there's nothing you can do.

But I can't put my family at risk.

But you can sacrifice your happiness?

Who says my happiness
is being by Víctor's side?

And who says it's not?

Because it's not being
by Alexander's side.

Lidia, you know Alexander
and I are going through a rough patch.

But that doesn't mean
our marriage isn't working.

But you've spent years
going through this rough patch.

I'm sure things are going to change.

Do you hear yourself?

You sound like the women
who come to the foundation.

You yourself open their eyes and tell them
they have to leave their partners,

but you're saying the same thing they do.

No, Lidia.

They're abused women.

Maybe Alexander hasn't
physically assaulted you,

but there are other forms of abuse.

You're a woman on her own,

abandoned,

ignored.

[dramatic music]

[cell phone rings]

[exhales]

-Hello.
-Hello, my love.

You're talking to the official candidate
for president of the Republic

for the Nationwide United Family party.

[dramatic sting]

Congratulate me.

[tense music]

[music fades]

What's up, Sandra?

Thanks for calling me. Where is he?

Uh… He's over there.

I called as soon as he ordered it.

Thank you. And sorry to put you
in this situation again, Sandra.

No, relax. Don't worry.
You know it's fine with us.

What's important is that Víctor doesn't
relapse and end up back where he started.

That's the only one he ordered?

Uh, yes, ma'am.

Thank you.

What's up?

What happened?

[somber music]

Huh?

What is it, Víctor?

How many have you had?

I haven't had any.

Get this away from me.
I'll drain the bottle.

Yes.

You and I have an agreement.
I don't smoke, you don't drink.

-Ma, put that away.
-No. That's it.

Yes.

-[sighs]
-What happened? What is it?

The thing is…

I fell in love with the wrong woman.

[somber music continues]

[Doris] Oh, be patient, Dad.

It's been a while
since I lost it on your brother.

I don't get why the hell he's here.

Tell me something.

Is it true you didn't give him
what he was owed from his inheritance?

And that Elvira left assets
in the United States?

I thought he knew.

Dad, but you could've asked him.

Hey, why should I have done it?

No, Dad. You really played
very, very dirty.

It's his problem
if he didn't look into it.

And if he wants w*r, he'll get w*r.

You've always been way too hard on him.

And obviously, all you get back
from him is the same.

Tell me something. Couldn't you
take advantage of him being there

and instead of instigating a fight
you try to resolve things?

I can't do it, princess.

Fine. We'll talk later, then.

I can't promise anything.

Bye.

No.

This will not end well.

-Thanks. Oof.
-It's hot.

When has anything ended well between them?

True. But this time, it'll be worse.

Seriously, what do we do?

-Dad won't give in.
-Mm-mm.

No. The only option is
to convince Daniel to leave the ranch.

But who? Or how do we convince him?
Because he won't listen to us.

[dramatic music]

[music fades]

[Karen] That's it.

How handsome.

What's wrong, my love?

Are you sad?

Why?

I didn't want Dad to win.

[exhales] Why?

Since he wanted to be president, he's had
a bad temper with us all the time.

My love,

Dad's had a rough,
difficult road to get this far.

That's why he's a little distant.

But your dad adores us.

He doesn't seem to.

Sometimes it's hard to show
someone how much you love them.

Work is more important to him.

No.

We are what's most important to Dad.

His family.

That's why he wants us with him
at the press conference.

Now, you are right.

He's been a bit distant and ill-tempered.

But we have to tell him so he knows.

We'll do it. Not today,
but we'll do it. Okay?

Come on.

Jacket.

[uplifting music]

That's it.

Let's see.

You're so handsome.

[laughs] Is that your smile?

Ha!

And what did you want?

What did you want, son? For her…

For her to wrap her arms around you
and swear her eternal love? Huh?

Ma… What do you mean?
I want absolutely nothing.

Hey, hey. One moment. Things happened.
They happened without thinking.

What do you think?

That I went in wanting to kiss her,
to tell her everything I'd be for her?

-No. It happened.
-I don't know. I don't know.

How are you going to fall in love
with a married woman, man?

Do you think I did it on purpose?

I don't know, but for starters, that story
about no one controlling the heart,

no one can swallow that story
because it's pure garbage.

You can stop the feelings

or give them free reign
and f*ck up your life, like you.

I told you it just happened.

No, sir.

This is not a decision you make
with the heart alone, Víctor.

You also tackle it with your head.

And you chose to fall in love with her.

Yes.

Tell me how not to do it.

Tell me, please. I want to know.

Ma, I don't know what's happening to me.

What I feel each time I see that woman,

I've never felt it before. Look at me.

-I swear I've never felt this before.
-No, Víctor.

Don't tell me that. What part of
"she's a married woman" do you not get?

-Oh, Ma.
-Understand me.

But she's married to a jerk who doesn't
value or respect her how she deserves.

-Who cares?
-I care.

You don't care or know.

That guy's a jerk
who came asking me for money

to join his political campaign.

[scoffs] Of course, he wants
to steal my followers, right?

-[scoffs]
-What did you tell him?

I obviously told him no.

Let's see, basically, that's what he
wanted to say to me, because later…

Heh! Later he played stupid, huh?

I'm not going to light it.
I won't light it.

NATIONWIDE UNITED FAMILY

Congratulations to the future First Lady.

It hasn't happened yet.

Oh, sure it will. Alexander will win.

What does the first-born have to say?

Hello, Uncle.

We're still processing the news.

And why aren't you as happy
as you should be?

No. I'm happy.

I've been a bit stressed.

-And Patricia?
-Good. I just called the shelter,

and she's asleep with the children.
She had to rest.

It's been a rough day for everyone.

I had a great day,
but I'll tell you all later.

No, do it now.

Oh, okay. Quickly, quickly.
I just got my first investor.

Oh, congratulations!

-Congratulations, Auntie.
-Thank you.

We have a lot to celebrate.
Alexander's candidacy,

Kitty's first investor,
Patricia's achievement.

Yes, but it'll be later
because I have to go see the ranch

where I'm going to do the pilot project.

Okay. Tell us if anything comes up.

Of course. Say hi to Alexander.

Okay, I'll tell him.

See you soon. Bye.

-A kiss. Bye.
-Bye.

A hug.

[upbeat music]

Ready?

Remember what I told you.

Today, we're going to try to be
the most famous actors in the world.

Many people will be there.

They'll want to interview us,
take photos with us.

They'll want to speak with us.

So, we're going to feel
like we're superstars.

And we'll try to be the nicest
we can be to our entire audience.

-Okay?
-Okay.

To Mr. Horacio Carrera,
guide, lighthouse, shining light who…

Enough. Too intense. Thank you.

Thanks. Let's see. [clears throat]

Very good. Very good.

[Alexander clears throat]

How is it?

Getting better.

Very good.

-Exactly.
-Ready?

-Prepared?
-Ready, yes.

Ah! Big boy!

-Hi, Dad.
-Look at you, son.

Come. I'll fix your tie.

-Hello.
-How are you? You're so pretty.

-Thanks.
-Are you ready?

[cell phone rings]

Oh, congratulations.

-How do you feel?
-Hello?

Like I just finished a marathon.

Okay, perfect.

-Exhausting.
-The journalists are here.

Perfect.

[in English] Showtime!
[in Spanish] Let's go.

That's it. [sniffles, exhales]

[Alexander] That's it.

[Alexander laughs]

Víctor,

there are loves
that are worth fighting for, son.

And there are others that aren't.
And this is one that isn't.

Why not?

Because it's not!

Because she's asking you
not to mess with her head.

And what does that mean, Mom?

-That she feels the same thing for me.
-Oh, no, no, no, Víctor. No.

No. You… Don't go getting clever with me.

Sure, maybe… maybe she does feel something
for you, but she doesn't want to.

[dramatic music]

And you have to respect that.

You can't be so miserable

that you'd go and ruin a marriage,
Víctor, my God.

You can't keep insisting with her

when she herself is asking
you not to do it. Huh?
