FORBIDDEN WOMAN

[door closes]

[suspenseful music]

-Oh my God!
-Oh my God!

-My God!
-No! How could this happen?

-You almost k*lled me.
-[laughs]

You almost scared me to death.

What are you… What are you doing here?

-I almost got hit with that guitar, huh?
-No.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry
for showing up like this, Víctor.

-It smells good.
-[exhales] It's just that…

-[Víctor panting]
-…I didn't sleep last night.

I left thinking that I left this house

as if I were a criminal,
and I'm not, Víctor.

It's not like that. You and I are mother
and son for the rest of our lives.

For the rest of our lives.

And we have to make an effort, Víctor,

so things can go back to normal.

No, but things are good, Mom.

You know they're not.

Let's fix them.

Sit down and have breakfast,
it'll get cold.

No, I thought that when you said
that about leaving blankets,

-well…
-What? What?

That I would leave you
alone like Adam? [exclaims]

Of course. A mother is a mother, Víctor.

And I'm not going to meddle in your life.

But, for example, coming here
to cook you breakfast the way you like it,

what's wrong with that?

-Nothing, right?
-Nothing.

No. That's good, because look.

[laughs] Today is leftovers with eggs.

Look at the wraps I got. They're better.

[sighs] Lidia, I got up
like ten times throughout the night.

I went to the bathroom, I got water,
I lied down, I went to the bathroom again…

I couldn't stop thinking about
Alexander the whole damn night.

I couldn't stop thinking
about how to get rid of him.

I thought about going back to the house
to give him a piece of my mind.

Buy a ticket to I don't know where
and take Sergio with me.

I even saw myself talking to Víctor.
I want to tell him everything.

-[Karen sighs]
-While you were in the shower,

I talked to Esteban.

[dramatic music playing]

I'm sorry, Karen. I told him
what happened to you last night.

[sighs deeply]

How did he take it?

Awful.

He asked me why you didn't call him,
why you didn't tell him.

That he would have ran out
and beat the sh*t out of him.

He was hysterical.

I can imagine.

Did he tell you about anything
he needed to check?

He told me he was
at the foundation all night.

That he was reviewing the contracts.

That he talked to the lawyers
he needed to talk to.

That he was reviewing old sentences

to see if he could find one
similar to yours, and nothing.

And I also talked to Ciro.

And?

He tells me that behind those people

are professional criminals.

That these are not amateurs.

What about the account
he opened in my name?

He told me that between
finding these two women

and knowing about the account
Alexander opened for you,

the first one is much easier.

[dark, dramatic music playing]

But I came to tell you

that no matter what happens,

I'm here for you, Víctor.

I'm here for you, whenever you need me.

Not as a friend, because you have friends.

But as your mom.

As a mom who only wants

you to be happy.

Hmm? Because you deserve it.

[tender, sentimental music playing]

Right on.

"Right on."

[chuckles softly]

What's your plan?

For now, to return home.

I can't risk Alexander assuming
that I'm going to do something crazy,

and to stop me,
he does something else crazy.

You're going to the foundation?

Yes.

I'm going to fix
the financial hole these women left

with the so-called credit.

Oh, Lidia, as soon as I can…

As soon as I can, I'll help you. Really.

Don't worry.
You focus on what you're doing.

Lidia.

Thank you.

That's what I'm here for.

A little salt?

A little? No, I already added some.

Hello.

Lidia.

[dramatic musical stinger]

[tense music playing]

What's wrong with you?

Why are you hiding?

[door closes]

-Hello.
-Good morning, Mrs. Karen.

-What's with the suitcase?
-Sergio is here.

[Alexander] Hello. I've been calling you
to pick Sergio up,

but you weren't answering.

He still had a few days left with Sofía.

But not many. I finally prioritized
the time I could spend with you.

-That's what I thought was most important.
-Where is he?

In his bedroom.

No!

I wanted to tell you that I'm going to do
my best so that all of this is resolved

and gets better.

[dramatic music playing]

[music fades]

-[gasps] Mom!
-My love!

-[tender music plays]
-[Karen laughs]

Sergio, I'm so glad you're here.

[music ends]

NORTHEASTERN HOSPITAL

During the interrogation, Mr. Ramiro
talked about the struggle you had.

He said he didn't mean to sh**t you,
but things got out of control.

That all he wanted to do was threaten you
so you guys would pay up.

And did he say
whose idea it was to scare us?

Well, it was just him.

He saw them when they arrived at
the ranch and thought they'd be easy prey.

I think he must have an accomplice.

Someone who helped him
organize everything, but…

but he won't name names.

Did he mention Fernán?

No.

Neither him nor anyone else.

[tense music playing]

Look…

we're going to keep working, but…

if you ask me, I don't think
Mr. Ramiro will talk anymore.

Anyway, whatever information we get,

I'll run it by you, okay?

[Daniel] Thanks.

Excuse me. I hope you feel better.

I'm sure Fernán hired that lawyer.

Daniel, tell me something.

When we go to Mexico,
will you be able to forget about your dad?

Or will his ghost haunt us forever?

All I want, Kitty, is justice.

That's all.

And the only thing I want
is to live in peace,

but I don't know
if you're on the same page.

Good evening.

[tense music]

[music fades]

I called the airline to see
if there were any spots.

Then I talked to the teacher.

Of course I did.

He told me he was very excited
because he was coming back.

He even told me he was
waiting for you to pick him up,

but you couldn't.

I'm going with him

to the campaign office.

I owe myself that time.

I know I've made a mistake

being away from him with the campaign

and all this hustle and bustle,
but I'm hoping to make it right.

I really think we owe it to ourselves
to have some quality time.

We're gonna go to lunch afterwards.

It'd be good if you joined us.
I'd like that.

Really?

Karen…

I know that what I did can't be

justified.

The only thing I can tell you is

that it won't happen again.

I wish that whatever
this rut is that we fell into…

could change.

But I'm not so naive as to think
that everything can be the same again.

I know we're going to have
to survive with this new normal.

Sergio!

I would hope that you…

would see me differently.

Come here, son. Let's go.

Aren't you coming?

No. Um, Mom…

Mom can't make it.

She'll catch up with us, right?

Let's go, son.

-Have a good time. Bye.
-Bye, Mom.

[dramatic musical stinger]

[cumbia music playing]

[music ends]

[Betty chuckles]

That's it! How did you like that?

-Great.
-I was fooling around a little

with the new plug-ins we have

and it feels tighter, more concise.

Yes, yes. Tighter.

[cell phone rings]

Answer it.

-Hello?
-Do you have time?

[dramatic music]

We need to talk.

It's important.

LET'S MEET AT AROUND 4 O'CLOCK

I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I LEAVE

I NEED TO TALK TO YOU

Hello?

[Iván] Did you talk to the administrator?

[Jimmy] Not yet. I've been very busy.

Everything okay?

Don't mind me.

What about you? When are you coming back?

I don't know. I'm not sure yet.

Iván, the elections are coming up.

We're in the home stretch.
Things are heating up.

That's why I'm calling you,
so you can be in charge.

And if something unexpected happens, well…

you'll have to take care of her.

Do we have a problem with that?

No, not at all.

But is everything okay?

Yes.

Let's just say something came up
and I have to get ahead of it.

Trouble.

No trouble.

I have an opportunity…

a golden opportunity
that I'm not going to pass up.

I'll call you later so we can set it up.

[soft dramatic music playing]

What's with that face?

Was it that hard to talk to him?

-Who?
-Your dad.

There's no one who can make
that man understand

that if he cares for his son's well-being,
he should stay away.

I was here the day of the attack,

and your girlfriend
didn't like it one bit.

[laughs] I made a face
worse than the one you just made.

I didn't mean to intrude,
I was just worried.

Who would have thought?

Look, Daniel.

Despite the bad relationship we have,
you're still my son.

And I worry.

[scoffs]

Here's an example.

I'm here, despite your attitude
and your girlfriend's.

Your brother Iván told me he wants
to go back to Mexico.

Good. He can go back to his studies.
That's the right thing to do.

When is the trip?

Why are you so interested, Fernán?

I'm going to marry Gisela.

I proposed to her last night.
We're arranging the event.

So, if you're here for that date,
I'd like you to come.

You're absolutely invited.

I want us to be a family.

We'll see.

-[cell phone rings]
-The invitation is on the table.

Well, then…
if there's anything you need,

just let me know, okay?

[cell phone rings]

I know it was you.

[tense musical stinger]

I'm not saying you tried to k*ll me,

but I'm sure you're behind the extortion.

Don't f*ck with me, Daniel.

I come here in peace,
and you do this to me?

I know what you're capable of, Fernán.
Don't f*ck with me.

-I'll tell you something.
-No, I'm going to tell you something.

Kitty is absolutely right.

I'm not going to keep stirring the pot,
because if I do,

I'll end up k*lling you,
or you'll end up k*lling me.

And I don't want to carry that burden.

[dramatic music playing]

I'm glad to hear that.

You know I'm not a believer, and I
don't go to mass or anything like that.

But I hope things go
well for you in Mexico.

[music fades]

LOS CRISTALES BUILDING

It's just that Alexander moved everything
to get Sergio here early.

Because he knows he's my Achilles' heel.
He knows he's got me on edge.

Right. Even putting up with his
manipulation and tricks.

With Sergio in the middle, things change.

While I find a way out, I have to be
the same mom and wife I've always been.

I don't want Sergio to find out
what's going on between his parents.

And I don't want him to get hurt.

-I have to go.
-What did you tell Víctor?

Nothing much.

We'll meet at the ranch.
It's the most discreet place.

-How will you get there?
-I asked Esteban for the car.

I didn't tell him what for.

[soft dramatic music playing]

Lidia, I'd give anything not to have
this conversation with Víctor.

You have to do what you have to do.

Do you think so?

Unless you want Alexander
to take your son away from you,

shut down the foundation,
and get rid of Víctor while you're at it.

You don't have a choice.

Okay. So…

-think about that ending.
-Mm-hmm.

There might be something else.

After "These lips of mine
will not be calling on you,"

what do you want women to think right now?

To dance, to have another drink,
to be connected to you.

What we have is very good,
but it can be better.

-Perfect.
-Okay? Go on, then.

Hey, don't forget the gig, okay?

I won't. I'll be there.

-Is there enough time?
-Yes.

It's still early.
I'll see you later. Hey, keep it up.

-Good luck.
-It has to be awesome.

-What?
-Good luck. It's all good.

Where's he going?

[dramatic musical flourish]

What?

Karen.

Yes, she called him
because she needed him urgently.

Lidia, we need that money.

We were expecting it from the NGO,
so we made a lot of commitments.

I don't want us to look bad.

I know.

Well, and…

I know it's not the right time
to tell you this, but…

I'm going to break up with Jimmy.

[somber music playing]

He came to the foundation
this morning… out of the blue.

He asked me what was wrong.

And I didn't know what to say.

I froze up,
and the only thing I could think to say

was that I had a meeting
and I couldn't talk to him.

He obviously didn't believe me.

And I'm sorry because I had
promised you something else.

-It's okay.
-I tried.

-I tried to get information from him.
-It's okay.

It's okay.

The last thing I want is for you
to be in the middle of this.

One of us being
in a toxic relationship is enough.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

Thank you.

Oh, Jair, why are you like this?

Why are you giving these two
such a bad vibe?

It's not a bad vibe. It's just that
this thing between them is going nowhere.

What do you know?

I know.

So do you,
even if you pretend to be innocent.

That's why you're applauding
him for everything he does.

Because you're hoping
that when things end badly,

he'll come running into your arms.

Careful, Jair.

Careful.

What do you take me for?

A woman in love.

[tense, dramatic music playing]

A woman who goes after a man
who's in love with another woman,

and gets the short end of the stick.

[Betty sighs]

[music ends]

That horse your dad bought for Gisela.

[Doris] Hm.

-And you still haven't found her a rider?
-No.

Look.

Several people have tried to ride her,
but she's very feisty.

-It's not for everyone.
-Oh.

That's because she doesn't
know me yet. [chuckles]

-[coughs]
-Let's see, Duchess.

-Duchess is her name?
-Mm.

-Hello, beautiful.
-Are you sure, Doris?

Of course.

I miss this so much.

Hey, pretty girl.

I think it's the mouthpiece.
Take it off. Call the boys to take it off.

-You'll feel better.
-Where is he? Sebastián! [whistles]

-That's it, sweetie. Calm down.
-Can you do me a favor?

Change the mouthpiece
to the one Doris has.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

It's okay. [hushes]

It's okay, sweetie.

It's okay.

That's it.

It's okay.

It's okay.

[hushes]

-[car approaching]
-[gravel crunching]

[suspenseful music playing]

[exhales sharply]

[sighs]

[exhales loudly]

[exhales]

I was going to call you.

[sighs] There was an accident
before the tollgate. Nothing serious.

But they made us wait a long time.

I'm going to get some water, I'm parched.

Was it really that bad

to pick you up before the award ceremony?

Was it that bad?

It's just that…

the other day when you left here,
you were fine.

I'm fine.

But not with me.

[sighs] It's complicated, Víctor.

I can tell from your attitude,

the way you're talking to me.

Karen.

Did you see Alexander?

[tense, dramatic music playing]

I ran into him the day you
took me to the hospital.

Why did you hide it from me?

Because I needed time, Víctor.

-For what?
-To think.

To think about what I should do.

Didn't you tell me you knew?

And that you wanted to get a divorce?

[dramatic music continues]

[sighs] Alexander knows about us.

And he knew it before I came here to hide.

He doesn't know how far this went, but…

he knows there's something
going on between us.

And that's why…

Jimmy was following me the other day.

Because he sent him.

Most likely, yes.

Víctor, I don't know
if they saw us kissing,

if they saw me leaving your house.
I have no idea.

But when I went to get Alexander
from the party headquarters,

I heard him saying
very bad things about me.

It was because he was hurt.

-He was hurt.
-No.

Okay, so that's his excuse?

And you forgive him for gossiping
about all the vile things he's done?

Someone who realizes he's been betrayed
isn't a vile person, Víctor.

No, no, no. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but I can't allow you
to make him look like a victim

in this situation,
because Alexander is not a victim.

I don't know. I don't know.

I shouldn't have, Víctor.
We shouldn't have.

-No, no.
-Karen, but… you don't love him.

What does it matter if I love him, Víctor?

-Alexander is…
-The father of your child?

And he's the man I'm married to,
and I've decided to make a home.

A man who doesn't care about you.

Who doesn't care about you,
and doesn't care about your son either.

-Alexander just…
-He got lost chasing after a dream,

and he was wrong.

And he accepted it.

-He didn't say it 'cause we got caught up.
-He will.

-He's not holding it against me.
-He will eventually, and you know it.

[sighs deeply]

Víctor, Alexander asked
me for another chance.

[dramatic musical stinger]

He told me to think about
all the years we spent together.

[dramatic music playing]

And she told me to think about Sergio.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe you.

Karen, I need…

I need you to please
tell me what's going on.

Please.

It was a mistake, Víctor.

It was a mistake.

I was lonely.

You made me feel special,
and I blacked out.

But you told me you loved me.

I got caught up in the moment.

The situation.

Yeah?

Look me in the eye. Come here.

Look me in the eye

and tell me

that everything that happened between us

didn't mean anything.

Come on.

Tell me.

Look at us, Víctor.

Look at you.

Do you really see us together?

Why not?

Because I don't.

Because I can't leave
my husband and run away with…

-[tense musical stinger]
-What?

With what?

Say it.

What does your husband say?

To run off with a "second-rate singer."

[somber, dramatic music playing]

Is that it?

That you've thought things through

and it's better for you to be with
the future president of this country?

I'm so sorry about this, Víctor.

For your sake…

and for mine,

it's best to leave things as they are.

[sniffles]

[upbeat dramatic music playing]

[Doris sighs]

Very good, princess.

[Gerardo] Well, Doris, after that class,

what do you recommend?

Well, I think we should let her run.

So? How did she feel?

Hmm. She's too much for the owner.
[chuckles]

-[cell phone rings]
-One sec.

Hello.

I was about to call you
because I wanted to go see you.

How are you?

Much better.

In fact, I think they're going
to release me soon.

Good. Can I come by?

Yes, yes, yes. You should.

But I want to ask you a favor, Doris.

Okay. Tell me.

-But first, go to the church.
-No, María.

The wedding will be here.

On this side, we'll have the altar.

The balloons.

And the reception
will be held inside the ranch.

When will that be?

Depends on what the Father says.
I hope it's as soon as possible.

I don't want my dad to back out.

-[dramatic stinger]
-Because that's the reason, right?

María, find me some workers,
I need to give them instructions.

Mm-hmm.

Quickly.

-You were riding my horse?
-Mm-hmm.

-Good animal.
-Mm.

It's a shame you didn't know
how to treat her.

I'm open to suggestions.

No, I already talked to Gerardo.

Don't worry,
I'm sure he'll take care of it.

Doris.

-Hmm?
-Why are you so angry?

What is it? What did I do wrong?

What do you think it is?

That you think I'm going
to take advantage of your dad?

[chuckles] Take advantage of my dad?
[laughs]

Really?

What's so funny?

That you're so naive, Gisela.

That you think someone can
take advantage of my dad.

Look at this house.

Look at this ranch.

How many women do you
think have been here?

And how many women do you think have been
able to keep even a cent of his money?

-Then what are you worried about?
-Hm.

-That I'll take your dad's money?
-[laughs]

That you'll take my dad's money.

It's just that… See?

That's exactly the answer
to your question.

I hate hypocrisy.

And you, saying you're not
with my dad for the money,

it sounds so hypocritical.

[intense dramatic music playing]

[music crescendos]

Do you think Doris will
end up breaking that woman?

Be the one who will save us
from this storm?

No one has to save us
because no one will push us out of here.

When will you tell me what you did, Mom?

I've told you a thousand times
that I didn't do anything.

You don't know how to lie.

And about Doris, you are partly right.

Gisela has long been looking for a match,
and she has found it.

That woman thought her greatest
task was to conquer Fernán,

and she has no idea what's coming her way

now that she has to deal
with his children.

Doris is gonna turn her hair gray.

And the best part is that you
and I will be here to see it.

[Amalia] No, he's not answering.

But did he say what time he'd be back?

-Well, I mean…
-No, he didn't say the exact time,

but he'll be here, obviously.

He knows we're busy with the album
and we're in a hurry.

Yes, of course.
And since he knows we're in a hurry,

he left you alone during the recording.

No, Víctor doesn't do that. What happened?

Well, he had to. I mean, he didn't…

-I mean, he… Exactly.
-He got a very important call.

A call from whom?

[tense stinger]

Oh, no. I'm the idiot here.

If Víctor gets a call from Karen,
the world ends and Víctor disappears.

No. He said he'd be here.

-Right?
-He will.

I don't care what Víctor says.
What matters is that Víctor isn't here

doing what he has to do.

And you two defend him
and excuse him, but no, sir.

Víctor has to understand.
This is a priority.

Working with you is a priority.

Otherwise, it's your album
that will go wrong.

Her album, her release.

Show me what you've got.

Jair, call Pedro.
Let's get to work, everyone.

Come on.

[Gisela] Don't laugh.

I'm not laughing.

I'm watching you.

No, I think you're paying
too much attention to Doris.

Fernán, she's your daughter.

[groans] Let's see.

How can I make you understand?

How?

How can you tell anyone? I'm not stupid.

I'm not saying that.

Look.

Let's see.

You don't have children, Gisela.

-Do you?
-No.

See?

It's important you understand that,
because Doris is the apple of my eye,

she's a spoiled child.

It's hard for her
to see me with another woman.

No, of course. And Doris is ten years old.

She's just looking out for me.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

[sighs deeply]
Doris thinks I'm marrying you for money.

And are you?

[dramatic musical stinger]

Is it the money
that encouraged you to marry me?

You know I don't need money.

And I don't need a man to support me.

Because I can do it on my own.

And I'm not here for free at this ranch.

So, what I have, I have due to my job.

See?

-What?
-Look, honey, that's it.

What Doris said is wrong.

So, you don't have
to pay attention to what's wrong.

I don't like being called a hypocrite.

-I'll talk to her.
-Don't.

Why tell me if you don't
want me to do anything?

-Can I tell you the truth?
-The truth.

I know myself.

And I know my temper.

I know I'm short-tempered.

-And if she keeps provoking me…
-No, no, no.

Don't be like that.

I won't let you.

And I want you to know that.

If she keeps messing with me,
even though I want us to get along,

she'll get what's coming to her.

[knock at door]

Father Santiago is here.

Yes. Tell him I'm on my way.

Careful.

Don't mess with my daughter.

I may love you a lot, but…

But you're going to put her first over me?

If you make me choose, yes.
She comes first.

[tense music playing]

She was a part of my life before you.

Thank you for your honesty.

Excuse me.

[music fades]

And when would the trip be?

Well…

I'll go to Bogotá, arrange the paperwork,

Daniel will find a client
for the ranch, and that's it.

That would be now, more or less.

Well, yes.

If the project hasn't started,
why are we here?

-[Kitty] What are you doing here?
-[Doris] I didn't have enough time.

[Kitty] How are you? What's all this?

You organized a surprise for Daniel
and didn't tell me?

No, my love. The surprise isn't for me.

It's for you.

For me?

Yes. [chuckles]

Since I opened my eyes at the hospital,
I decided to go to Mexico with you.

And to spend the rest of my life with you.

You're the most important person
in my life.

[tender music playing]

[grunts softly]

[dramatic musical stinger]

Catalina Arbeláez…

will you marry me?

[Kitty chuckles]

Yes.

-Yes. [laughs]
-[Daniel laughs]

She said yes!

[Doris hoots]

[Doris shouts happily]

[Doris gasps]

Do you like it?

[tender music continues]

[music fades]

Mom.

[Karen] My love!

[Karen] How lovely.

-[Karen] How are you?
-[Sergio] Fine, and you?

-Have you eaten?
-Yes.

Son, go with the security guards.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[man] Víctor!
-[woman] Víctor.

Víctor. See? It's him.
I told my wife it was you.

Can I have a picture? Thank you.

-Honey, take it. Thank you.
-Yes, of course.

A little smile, right?

There's nothing I'd like more
right now than to smile.

Okay, thank you.

-One with my wife.
-Oh, no. What a shame.

-Yes.
-Honey, yes. Come on, take advantage.

Okay. Cute.

-Thanks.
-Have a good day.

-See you later.
-[man] It was him.

[music fades]

You look terrible.

Were you with him?

[dramatic music plays]

[sighs]

-Alexander, please, don't start.
-No, no, no.

Don't get me wrong.

It's not a reproach.

I'm glad and grateful that you're here.

I'm not here for you.

I know.

You're here. That's what matters for now.

Let's look at the report, and after that,

we can talk about the projects we have

and the ones we want your input on.

Would you excuse me for a moment?
I'll take this call.

I'll be right back.

Hello.

[Karen] It was a disaster, Lidia.

I tried to stay strong and confident.

But Víctor didn't believe me at all.

And to get him to stop prying…

[exhales sharply] I told him a bunch
of lies I've told myself my entire life.

I made him think it was better
to be with a guy like Alexander.

How did he take it?

It was awful.

[sniffles, exhales]

Víctor is a good guy, Lidia.
He doesn't deserve this.

He doesn't deserve it.

But you're protecting him.

[solemn music playing]

You did what you had to do.

Oh, Lidia. I wish a hole in the ground
would open up and swallow me.

No, Karen.

I need you to get up. Push forward.

You can't falter right now.
You have to do this for your son.

You have to do it for Sergio.

Don't make me do this, okay?
