[telephone rings]

-[telephone rings]

-Oh!

Ow. [moans]

[telephone rings]

Hello.

Hi, Nico. Were you asleep?

Oh, Juanita, I'm awake now. What is it?

What time is it?

What? You didn't hear about last night?

Hey, why didn't you go to Blue Cat?

A horrible fight broke out

with Shaio and Laura's neighbor.

What? Ouch. How's Shaito?

Well, Shaio

wasn't there.

Shaio wasn't there?

[intriguing music]

[José] Nicolás, buddy,

you know I always let you in,

but Mrs. Shaio told my colleague

not to wake her up before noon

for anything in the world.

[Nico] You don't say, José.

-[José] Yes, sir.

-Around what time did she arrive?

Not long ago, you almost crossed paths.

-No.

-Yes.

Are you sure it was Shaito?

Judging by the sound

of her motorcycle, I'm sure.

-She arrived on a motorcycle?

-Yes, a motorcycle.

-[dramatic music sting]

-I want to start a diet.

I've been looking,

but nothing convinces me.

-What're you doing?

-The "nibble".

-All right. Thank you.

-Sure, young man.

[Nico] Are you sure it was Shaito?

[José] Judging by the sound

of her motorcycle, I'm sure.

[soft piano music]

[Shaio laughs]

[Berny] It's been

the most amazing night of my life.

[José] Judging by the sound

of her motorcycle, I'm sure.

[motorcycle revs]

[Berny] So

You came all this way just to run away?

[dramatic music]

[train bell tolls]

It looks like nobody is following me.

Thank goodness for that,

all I want is to keep telling my story.

And leave proof

of why I need to escape.

Just in case.

Well, the day after the celebration,

and even though we lost,

everyone felt like Miss Universe.

[upbeat music]

Good morning, my queens. How are you?

Are you ready for today's salsa class?

[Óscar] Because we were

the universal runners-up of beauty.

[host] The next one is Miss Colombia!

[man] four, repeat, that's it. And turn.

[Óscar] People walked out on the street

feeling prettier, flirtier.

-Hairstyle, hairstyle ♪

-Hairstyle, hairstyle ♪

The attacks didn't matter,

or the country without electricity

every night,

and the kidnappings continued.

Colombian beauty

was the queen of the moment.

[upbeat music]

[engines revving, sirens wailing]

So, Shaio also woke up

feeling a bit like a queen.

I always knew I had potential.

[Óscar] Everyone called her

for an interview.

They all ended with the same question.

[host] Shaio, what's next?

[Shaio] I'll open an agency

to take Colombia's beauty

to the best fashion runways in the world.

Are you suggesting

turning Colombian models

into the next Claudia Schiffer,

Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford?

Why not?

Height. Let's not kid ourselves, Shaio.

There's a matter of class, of size.

That's an inferiority complex.

Colombian women

can be the image of any ad campaigns

for any famous designer.

Mr. Alpidio, turn that up a little bit.

[Shaio] The problem

is that we feel inferior

and it keeps us in this dump

She's right, nobody can think

beyond the dumps here.

-That's it.

-[host] For the aspiring models

who want to appear on ads, magazines,

or become the image

of an international designer,

our lines are now open to receive calls

at our usual number, 334-3434 in Bogotá.

Three, 34, 34, 34. Three, 34, 34, 34.

Hand me a pen, please.

What will you do? Call her and say what?

How much you admire her?

Oh, Vane, don't be silly.

She will open a modeling agency

and I want to be part of it.

I want to model.

You should think about it too.

Wait.

There we go.

Good afternoon, M Radio.

Yes, hello,

-how do I participate in the show?

-[receptionist] I'm sorry,

can you speak louder?

I can't hear you well.

I'd like to participate in the show.

Um, can you connect me to Shaio,

-the queen, that lady?

-Sure, ma'am,

-give me your information, please.

-But, ma'am, I'm

-[phone beeps]

-calling from a payphone

and I'm all out of coins.

Yes, but without your information,

I can't connect you with Shaio

who's on air now.

My name is Kelly. Kelly Sepúlveda,

and I'm calling from Barranca.

[phone clicks]

Good afternoon, M Radio.

["Für Elise" by Beethoven plays]

Hello?

Hello? Miss?

Hello?

It cut off. Feed it more coins.

No, these are for snacks tomorrow,

that's it.

Stop constantly thinking about eating.

Use all the coins. Come on.

Take care, goodbye.

Good afternoon.

Ma'am, how are you? It's me again.

Um, to participate in the show,

we just spoke,

Kelly Sepúlveda from Barranca.

Don't put that music on again, please.

Okay, ma'am,

give me your information again.

But I just did, ma'am.

Good afternoon, M Radio.

Hello?

-["Für Elise" by Beethoven plays]

-Answer!

[Vanessa groans]

Son of a b*tch! All she had to do

was answer a damn call.

-She couldn't even do that.

-Kelly, stop it.

The coins are gone,

it's not like the world is over.

Speak for yourself.

You love living in this dump,

but I don't, I'm sick of it.

I want to get out of here already.

I'm sick of not having money for stuff,

or to go out,

or buy myself what I like.

From home to school.

From school back home.

I'm praying that my mom

had enough for groceries.

Or that my aunt was able to sell a dress.

[host] We're back at M Radio.

We now have a call from Envigado.

Who do we have the pleasure

of talking to?

Hi, I'm Mireya.

Oh, sorry for asking,

I'm not very tall. I'm like my aunt,

but I'm proportionate, though.

Everyone always tells me on the street,

"Mireya, you should be a model."

And I'd like to know

what I'd need to get into the agency.

We just don't have a specific date yet,

-but I'll let you know.

-[telephone rings]

Thanks for calling.

We've got a call coming in

from the city of Barranquilla.

[coastal woman] Aha, Shaio,

the thing is, I put my bikini on,

and I look in the mirror,

and I'm a total babe.

-[telephone rings]

-She said "total babe."

[laughs] It's not just me saying it.

People always look at me on the street.

I want to be in your agency, help me out.

Hello? Good morning, how are you?

I am Miriam, I'm from Cúcuta.

[indistinct chatter overlapping]

This is Deyanira.

I'm calling from Magangué.

-This is Rocío from Cartagena.

-Hello? I'm Jairo from Tuluá.

Wait a minute, "Jairo from Tuluá"?

Men are also allowed?

Yes. Yes, of course. Men as well.

All these people who are excited

about the idea, Shaio,

why don't you invite them to contact you

once you're off the air?

No! Sha

Okay, you can contact me at 215-5576.

You can contact me there, leave your info,

and we can arrange to send me their photos

or those who have a portfolio,

-you can send that.

-[mouthing]

They're telling me

that the lines are jammed.

Shaio, congratulations.

I think this was a homerun.

-We'll take a commercial break.

-[radio bumper] M Radio ♪

Look.

They have a phone number to call

and send photos.

[uplifting music]

So let's get some nice photos taken.

Not like the ones your mom takes.

We have to go to Fotoshow.

Oh, and with what money?

That guy's a thief, he's so expensive.

Don't worry, I know what to do

to have him take our photos.

Our?

Oh, don't play dumb, Vanessa.

I know you also want to do it.

Just wait for me after class

and we'll go together.

Don't get dirty

or start playing dodgeball,

we need to look presentable.

Let's not make them think

we're some brats, okay?

What did you mean before,

getting dirty with what?

There's not enough left for a soda.

Keep whining, really?

Oh, dear God. This has to be my chance.

[radio bumper] M Radio ♪

[Laura] Have you lost your mind?

Why get all these girls' hopes up

if we'll be studying in the US?

Did you see what just happened?

The lines are jammed and everything.

I don't think

this is the best time for me to go.

Don't be ridiculous, all right?

What about university?

-And Nico?

-Lau, I can go to university here.

What are you talking about, Shaio?

We already have our spot in Boston, right?

All we need is the visa.

We'll bring the documents

to the consulate today.

Is now the best time to change your mind?

I'm not sure about leaving.

What happened, Shaio?

Ten idle women called you

saying that they want to model?

Really? So you're changing your life?

They're not ten idle women.

This time, it's different.

Trust me. I saw it last night.

I don't know how to explain it,

but it's for real this time.

Lau, everything changed.

If everything has changed, good luck.

My future isn't going to change.

I'm going abroad

to study away from my parents.

So I'm leaving, that's it.

[soft piano music]

-Honey Oh.

-Hi, no. Oh

Good morning.

-Hello.

-I came for you.

No, Nicolás, come on,

I have a million things to do,

pending errands,

and I need to stop by my house first.

Okay, honey, let's go.

I'll take you home. That's okay.

Are taxis safe now or what?

-[dramatic music]

-I won't leave you, let's go.

PUBLIC SERVICE

AVAILABLE

Honey, you didn't tell me

how it went at Blue Cat.

[soft piano music]

It was fine.

We didn't do much.

I heard quite the opposite, no?

That it went horribly,

and Óscar got beaten up and stuff.

I couldn't sleep. I was so worried,

all I could do was call and ask

if anyone had seen you,

but no, nobody saw you. Weird.

No one. Nobody had heard from you.

-You were gone.

-All right, stop.

I didn't go, okay? I didn't go.

They didn't see me. I wasn't at Blue Cat.

I didn't want them asking

why my boyfriend hadn't come along.

-Your fiancé, honey.

-Everybody was there.

Nico, everybody was celebrating,

happily, proud. Except you.

-Honey, we already talked about it.

-I don't

Yes, we'll bring up the subject again.

What did you want me to say?

That since Paola lost,

it was unnecessary for you

to care to come along with me?

But it's the truth, honey,

you weren't participating, competing

Paola lost, why would I have gone?

Today, half the country woke up excited,

and I'm being interviewed everywhere, why?

Why? Because I didn't do anything.

So, since you did all that,

you run away with Berny.

Ah, okay! What, did you think

I wouldn't find out? Shaio, please.

[scoffs]

So? What did you do?

[soft intriguing music]

I'm asking you. What did you do?

What sketchy,

hole in the wall did he take you to?

-Why do you assume it's a hole?

-Why would I?

-It's Berny P. Gómez, what do you expect?

-He didn't take me to some hole.

He took me out for a ride.

At least he thought what I achieved

was important.

Honey, listen, sweetheart,

I also think that what you achieved

is important.

I got out of work and guess what?

I hit the gym, went all out,

lifted weights, and you know why?

Honey, don't be like that.

Sweetie, it's important to me

to be physically healthy

on the most important day of our lives.

When you walk with Joaco,

beautiful as always, towards the altar,

I'll be there waiting for you.

I also have to look good.

[dramatic music]

Sometimes in life,

we do things out of inertia.

Out of habit, or pressure, or whatever.

But at some point,

you don't have to keep putting up

with it anymore.

And you have to make a choice now,

before you marry wrongly.

I wouldn't want to like this.

What don't you want?

Shaio, what don't you want?

-What are you telling me?

-Not like this.

Like what? What?

You don't want to marry me? Is that it?

I mean, this is ridiculous and immature,

come on.

I failed you one night.

I failed one night, that's it!

Sure, one night

when important things happened.

Very important things!

It's just that [scoffs]

You should've seen everyone celebrating,

it was amazing.

Of course they celebrated.

People here celebrate when a bus

falls off a cliff. Happily, joyfully.

-Oh, stop, you don't understand anything.

-I do understand.

Ever since you went with that guy,

this Berny guy with that sweatshirt,

I don't recognize you.

I don't know who you are.

Okay, fine, I may be a different person.

But you're a jerk if you think I changed

after going out for a night with Berny,

-and not because of everything else.

-So what are you saying?

[tires screech]

"I went out with Berny"?

What are you telling me?

That you had planned it out,

that you had a date?

-We're not discussing this.

-Yes, we are, Shaio Domínguez.

We're discussing it. [grunts]

Wait for me, please.

Shaio, wait for me,

we're going to discuss this.

-Get over here.

-Don't grab me! What's your problem?

Then answer me. Did you sleep with Berny?

I can't believe it.

I leave you for a few hours,

and you sleep with the coach?

[scoffs]

Nico signed his death sentence,

what a man can't say to his girlfriend.

It's so disappointing.

You're just like all the rest,

you're a cheater, a tr*mp.

-Excuse me?

-[dramatic music]

You better show me respect!

What's wrong with you?

You know what?

This is over, you hear me?

-Did you hear me?

-No. Honey, no.

[Shaio scoffs]

And no, I didn't sleep with Berny,

but I happily would have.

-No, oh

-Jerk.

My Shaito, love, come here.

Let's talk, please, it's not a big deal.

Everybody knows that

when a woman says that,

what she really means is,

"No, I didn't do it, but as soon

as I get a chance, I will, as*h*le."

[laughs] It's just a matter of time.

My love, don't be so mad at me

over these things.

My love, wait! Shaio!

[dramatic music]

[honking]

[upbeat music]

[blows whistle]

Ow.

Good afternoon, number, please.

[Nico] Eighty-three, eighty.

Message?

Juanis, this is more concerning

than I thought.

See you at Café Chardonnay.

-Café what?

-Chardonnay.

"Shambronay."

Sent, thank you for communicating

with Call Beep, your instant pager.

Okay, thank you.

[intriguing music]

WORK

While everybody dealt

with the consequences

of the previous night,

I got a message on my pager.

Faryd, the photographer showed up

and they wanted me to see him.

[suspenseful music]

[monitor beeping]

Faryd?

Oh my God, man, what happened?

Hey, good morning.

I'm Óscar. I sent the messages.

-[nurse] Hello.

-Do you know who did this?

He hasn't said anything, he can't talk.

But since you sent so many messages,

we thought you were close,

so I asked you to come.

He doesn't have an ID or a wallet.

Can you help us identify him?

Yes, of course.

His name is Faryd, he's a photographer.

One moment.

I'll get something to take notes.

It's important that the police

get as much information as possible.

Yes, no problem.

I heard "police"

and all I could think of

was get close and ask him.

Faryd, brother, listen.

Move a finger if you can hear me.

Tell me who did this. Was it Edgar,

the one with the slick hair?

Or the thug who was with him?

Move one finger for yes, two for no.

[suspenseful music continues]

[elevator dings]

ROOM 505

We need to talk.

Something happened.

I'm scared. I don't know what to do.

[whispers] We'll talk later after lunch.

Look, it's ajiaco.

-[telephone rings]

-Oh, no, that's annoying!

Disconnect that thing, damn it!

Tulia, please don't forward any calls

while we're at the table.

Take their info, if you will,

jot them down and lower the ringer.

-Yes.

-All right, continue.

[all] Thank you.

-Pass me the avocado.

-Honey,

you were definitely a hit,

and I love that you told the journalist

he had a complex. Amazing.

Many of the callers are wonderful.

-So authentic.

-[Laura] Mm-hmm.

Wonderful? You haven't seen them.

[intriguing music]

Girls, did you take the visa papers

to the consulate?

I did, Dad.

[Paulina] What do you mean, "I did"?

You didn't?

I didn't.

I've been thinking about

-About what?

-Well, that [sighs]

I could study here.

Pardon me?

Considering everything that's going on,

I could open an agency in the interim.

In the interim, nothing.

Shaio, this is not the time

to think about agencies

and other strange ideas.

No, ma'am. You, your sister,

and your cousin are studying abroad.

-It's been settled.

-Yes, sir.

If you want to start an agency,

do it when you return.

Dad, there are good schools here too.

Ha! That's why we're a world power.

[Joaquín and Paulina laugh]

Now, look,

I'm not discussing this with you.

Honey, I don't get the change of mind.

You were the first who wanted to leave.

Right, they're leaving.

They're going to study.

You'll wait for Nico there

and get married.

Afterwards, whatever you please.

But you're definitely leaving.

[dramatic music]

Don't go.

Stay, we'll open this agency together.

I know how to do it.

[emotional music]

What about college?

You don't need to go to college for that.

You're clear, what else do you need?

Money.

Is that the issue? Money?

[laughs] It's a small detail.

I'll figure out how to get it.

Honestly.

I'll do anything for you to stay.

Berny, is this for real?

I'm being serious.

Whatever it takes for you to stay with me.

Didn't you hear the interview?

The agency could become a reality today.

Over my dead body.

Listen, what happened was great.

Congratulations, honey.

But my daughters will become college

professionals in the United States.

-Period!

-[telephone rings]

-Pour me a whiskey, please.

-Joaquín, you already had two before

Before you ruined my lunch, damn it!

Óscar, kid, you actually listen,

pour me a drink.

-[Tulia clears throat] Yes?

-[mouthing]

Hey, so we'll have to move

out of the apartment now?

Tulia, you'll get in trouble with me.

What did I say? Don't forward any calls

while we're at the table!

I understand, Joaquín.

[stammers] But they're calling

from the First Lady's office.

-[whimsical music]

-sh**t.

-For me?

-Yes.

No, the girl has to take that call.

[sighs]

Where's my whiskey?

-Hello.

-[Berny] Yes, hello.

How's my first lady doing?

I'm dropping by and stealing you, okay?

[Shaio laughs]

[romantic music]

Does yesterday's proposal still stand?

-Which one?

-About starting the agency together.

But of course.

Especially after what I heard

on the radio today.

Look, I don't know how we'll do it,

but I'm not leaving.

My dream is to set up an agency

and I want to do it now.

We need to get that money somehow.

What if I talk to my contact

and we meet in a few hours?

Okay.

Um, sure, of course.

I'll wait for your call to check my agenda

and set up a date.

-[Paulina] Shaio!

-Thank you so much for calling.

Send her my regards.

And that I loved the dress she wore

-for the article in Cromos magazine.

-Um [laughs]

My mother sends her regards and a hug.

[blows whistle]

[honking]

I know Shaito,

when something gets into her head,

it's impossible to get it out.

I have to get that guy

out of the picture at all costs.

Nico, why do you say that?

I mean, k*lling someone is not a joke.

Who's talking about k*lling people? No.

Well, knowing your ex,

if you want to get him out of the picture,

I don't know, you'll have to lock him up.

Okay, let's see.

First of all, she's not my ex.

She's still my fiancée. And secondly,

that guy, he's just an ordinary guy.

He has no class,

but he's not a thug, not a criminal.

If you want him out of the picture,

I don't know, you'll have to lock him up.

You know very well

what I think about that.

If you want an injection, do it at home.

Not here, okay?

It won't happen again.

I was running late today,

so I did it here, but nobody saw me.

Not here, Lombana.

You better not offer that to a client.

You know that's ill*gal.

You'll get me in trouble.

I know, easy.

I always do my business outside.

I hadn't thought of it.

What? What hadn't you thought of?

The guy isn't a criminal, isn't a thief,

but he'll turn into one.

-Juanis

-[chuckles]

you're a genius!

-I swear

-[whimsical music]

if I wasn't so in love with Shaio

or getting married, I'd marry you.

I promise. I have to run

and fix this right away.

Thanks for the invite.

Everything was delicious.

Listen to me.

Something bad happened

and you have to know.

-It involves Edgar.

-Oh!

Óscar.

Are you going to start? Get over it.

[suspenseful music]

[laughs] What?

You're my boyfriend, right?

No, Laura, stop it.

That man is very dangerous.

Come on, Óscar.

Edgar's a guy who blows his hair.

Yes, he's a danger,

but for good taste. That's for sure.

-Sure thing.

-[Laura chuckles]

[Tulia] Miss Laura.

You have a phone call.

[Laura] Me?

Hmm

-Okay

-Shaio!

Please listen to me.

You're sensible, yes?

I have to tell you something very serious.

Nothing is more serious

than what's happening to me now.

It's way worse.

Edgar isn't just the social climber

we thought he was.

He's also a savage.

He nearly k*lled a photographer.

He beat him up.

Come on, you always exaggerate.

I'm sure it didn't go down that way.

Why doesn't anyone believe me?

I was just at the clinic. I saw it myself.

Promise you won't get involved with Edgar.

Mm-hmm. Yes, sure. Okay, let's go.

No, she didn't really believe me.

They never believed me.

To top it off, Berny was about

to open a door he should've never opened.

Yes, brother, you heard right.

She'll be setting up the agency

and needs an investor.

You said you wanted in

with that family, right?

-[man] Okay.

-This is the chance.

Yes. Yes, Berny,

I find these people very interesting.

So what do they want, what do they need?

How about I swing by

your store with her at four?

Hey, brother, I need you to step up,

this is the opportunity of a lifetime.

[scoffs] Berny.

Berny, it's impossible

to step up any higher.

Okay, I'll see you there.

[upbeat music]

PHOTOS DEVELOPED

[photographer] That's it.

-What did we say?

-[photographer] Yes.

Just follow my lead, I have a plan.

-Let's go.

-[camera shutter clicks]

Hello.

Hello.

Um, we need some headshots

and full-body photos for both of us.

Sure.

You have different sizes here,

and prices. You can look

while I finish over here.

FILM DEVELOPING SAVINGS PACK

[whimsical music]

-[Kelly whispers]

-[photographer] Good, another one.

Right. That's it.

Let's take the last few.

Good, I need you to please

bring your faces close, like this,

very sweetly, flirtatiously.

That's it! A bit flirtier.

Right! Look at her and say,

"I love you, baby."

-I love you, baby.

-Do you know what happened?

He either got her pregnant or they ran off

because who comes here

for their wedding pictures?

[photographer] Perfect! [chuckles]

All set. Your photos will be ready

in the afternoon.

So, ladies, what did you decide?

Um, we'll do this package.

[photographer] All right, you can step up.

Kelly! What are you doing?

Nothing, once he shoots,

he won't have any other choice

but to accept what I'll propose.

[upbeat music]

Whoa!

-Okay, let's begin.

-Wait, wait.

[photographer] That's it.

Good.

Another one.

That's it.

Good. Turn around a little bit.

That's it.

Now turn your face the other way.

-No, the other way.

-Oh.

[exhales]

Listen.

How many international models

have you photographed? None, right?

So keep going.

If you want me to take more,

you'll have to pay for another roll.

This one is almost finished.

That's okay. Let's do it.

No, you know what? Hold on.

I'll take some too.

Okay, yes.

All right.

-Good. Another one.

-Like that.

[car engine revs]

[photographer] All right,

ladies, we're all set.

That's a ten thousand deposit,

and the rest at pick up.

So, the thing is that I don't have

the money right now.

But I'll propose a business deal to you.

You hand me the photos,

and I authorize you to display

two or three of my photos

and hang them here

in the store window, the walls,

and change up the empty space, this void.

How dare you suggest that

after making me spend two rolls of film?

No, you either pay me the money

or nobody leaves here.

Come on, think about it, will you?

Can't you see that my photo

can help attract more clients?

It'll make everything look nicer.

No, I have nothing to think about

and I don't have time

-Good afternoon.

-Hello, sir, I'll be right with you.

-Little Kelly.

-What's up, Hollman?

Can you tell me what's going on, lady?

I'm proposing a business deal

to the gentleman here,

but he won't take it.

It's not a "business deal."

They're just thieves.

Hello? Is my buddy in, Lieutenant López?

[dramatic music]

Easy.

There's no need to talk to anybody.

Don't you see that the girl here said

she's proposing a business deal?

The only business that works for me

is where I get paid.

How much are we talking?

Kelly, don't take money from that man,

okay? I beg you.

Oh, Vanessa,

how else are we going to pay for it?

-Is this enough?

-Of course, sir.

You can pick it up with this at four.

Don't worry, I'll pick them up,

and do me a favor.

-I'll develop this one as well.

-Of course, sir.

Hollman, can you give us a ride home?

Kelly.

Sure.

We can have refreshments on the way.

-[Kelly] Oh, okay.

-[Hollman] Excuse me.

-[Kelly] Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

[intriguing music]

I know it's a loan, but as soon

as I get money as a model,

I'll pay you back.

Don't worry. Listen,

what's this modeling for?

It's a new agency that's about to open

and is looking for new talent.

That's what the photos are for.

And the girl who took Paola there,

to become Miss Universe,

is opening a new agency.

Are you also planning to apply?

Well, if we can keep studying, yes.

Hey, Kelly,

aren't you into studying or what?

No, what I want to do is work.

I want to become a model.

And if we have to quit school,

it's not like we're missing much.

[soft dramatic music]

Hollman, can you give me the stub

so I can pick up the photos later?

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

I'll pick them up and bring them.

[Kelly] Bye.

Kelly.

Won't you say goodbye?

Hey, I wanted to ask you something.

Would you be interested in doing

a few photos in a bathing suit?

If you want, I can pay for them.

Hmm?

I mean, since it's for a modeling agency,

I think that would really work.

Yes, wouldn't it?

I'll ask my mom for permission,

see what she says.

Okay, you ask her,

I'll be waiting if anything.

I'll pick you up, drive you,

and keep you company.

I'll take care of everything, okay?

[Kelly] All right, deal. Bye.

Bye. Send your mom my regards, okay?

[intriguing music]

[motorcycle engine revs]

[Bertha] Careful!

[suspenseful music]

[Lombana] Girls, see you tomorrow, okay?

What is it, Nico? Got a new boyfriend?

You're walking weird.

What is it? Hurt much?

This guy stepped over

the line yesterday, no?

All good. If it's painless, it's no good.

Well said. Did you take anything?

Look, I haven't bought anything.

I was about to go to the pharmacy.

I'd like to get an injection.

Intravenous, something strong,

that hits right away.

I've got something.

But I don't know if you do this stuff.

-What stuff?

-I can give you an injection,

but it won't only take

that horrible pain away,

it'll also make the path easier

if you're disciplined.

Interesting.

Interesting tip.

Of course,

Lombana fell for it like a fool.

Nico used his innocent face

and reputation to get what he wanted.

Mrs. Bertha, I'm going to take some stuff.

-Yes.

-Excuse me. I'll see you later, Nico.

-Do it, man.

-We don't have a teacher for spin class.

[Lombana] Thanks.

This, my man, is youth in a syringe.

You'll feel like a 15-year-old kid,

you'll recover easily,

you'll grow muscles fast,

and you'll feel like a bull.

-Let's talk about the side effects.

-The vitamins I'll give you

-are the mildest ones.

-Are you sure?

Sure,

but I warn you,

this will turn you into a beast in bed.

Oh, no, luckily, in that department,

management presents no issues.

-[Nico laughs]

-Right, come here, present that butt.

-On the butt?

-Nicolás, get over there, come on.

Careful, my feet hurt.

Okay. Let's do this.

Bro, this is going to be tough.

-Why?

-I'll inject this cheek.

-So?

-But you don't have any.

What if I hit the bone?

-Don't be stupid.

-[Lombana laughs]

Tell me which leg hurts less.

-This one for now. Do it, that's it.

-Here we go.

-Oh, wait a moment. Hold on.

-What is it?

I need to breathe. Okay. Go ahead.

Come on, just do it. No!

Okay, yes or no?

Yes, but be gentle,

so let's do it in this one instead.

-Breathe. One. Two.

-One.

-Ow! Man!

-Be still.

There you go.

You messed me up.

-Okay, okay.

-Lombana, you messed me up.

-You messed me up.

-Here, press down. There.

How many of them are there?

To start off, it's three this week.

-Three?

-But once a week after that.

-Once a week?

-What do you want?

-All right. That's what it is. Right?

-Yes.

[Nico] We're done. Oof!

-Oh, come here, buddy.

-What?

What if I want to recommend it

to other friends?

-Bring them, I'll take care of everybody.

-Everybody?

-For sure.

-All right.

I'll take this.

-What are you doing?

-What am I doing?

I'm taking this to throw it out.

Do you want Berny to find it or Bertha?

Oh, okay. Here.

Careful.

-The boxes?

-Don't take those.

-Okay, add it to my tab.

-No, wait, come here.

This is my business.

This is cash only, all right?

Oh, don't be like that.

One more thing, don't tell Berny

I'm selling this. Careful.

I'll keep quiet.

You better.

My friend, you have no idea

the favor you just did for me.

But you messed me up.

-Stop it.

-Messed me up.

[Lombana] Stop it.

[motorcycle engine revs]

Yes, we're here.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Isn't this Edgar's business?

Yes.

Oh, no, Berny.

You can't be suggesting him

to be my partner.

Why not?

He's also in the world of beauty,

-the world of the arts.

-It's one thing to be a neighbor,

and another thing is this.

What do you and your family

have against Edgar?

Is it that he's a hardworking,

self-made person who came from nothing?

That he doesn't have

a well-off family that helped him?

I mean, if that's it, I'm the same.

No, there's no comparison.

Look, if a person like Edgar

doesn't fit in your life,

I don't think I do either.

Hey, no. Don't say that.

-[scoffs]

-Listen, why don't we do something?

Let's go in, see what he has to say,

what he suggests, and if you dislike it,

we'll find someone else.

-But

-Give him a chance.

No?

Let's go, let's give him a chance

and listen to him.

The guy even has good taste.

That little chair is pretty cool. Right?

Elver, please take those pieces

to the vault.

They're for Mrs. Camacho, okay? Neighbor!

-Elver, good day!

-Edgar!

-How are you?

-Very well, what a pleasure to have you.

-Good to see you, buddy.

-Berny, same.

Please, come on in.

-Thanks.

-Thanks.

[comedic music]

Wow.

[Edgar] These chairs arrived from Milan.

I was there a few months ago.

Hey, the level of design

that the Italians have is insane.

[Shaio] Yes, they've got some pieces

that are beautiful.

I imagined your business differently.

[laughs] Differently how?

Well, just different.

Like a bit more

antiquated.

No, no.

-Yes.

-No, no.

-Classical, perhaps. Antiquated, never.

-No, it's really beautiful.

Congratulations, really.

Thank you.

Um, no, I can't drink.

Thank you very much.

Leave them just in case.

Close the door, please.

-Yes, sir.

-[door closes]

So Shaio wants to stay in Bogotá

not because of the agency,

-but because she's involved with a thug?

-Worse than that.

With an ill*gal substance dealer.

No. Shaio is not like that.

Shaio doesn't smoke weed.

No, I mean other types of substances.

These.

Anabolic steroids, hormones, steroids,

which, first of all,

are extremely harmful to health,

besides being ill*gal.

This guy, this thug,

has made a fortune selling these products,

so he has a gym

and he's opening a new one.

It's most likely a front

to sell all that junk.

What is really concerning, Joaquín,

is that the guy is obsessed with me.

To the extent that he convinced Shaio

not to go to college

and not to marry me either. Uh-huh.

That's impossible. You two are doing fine.

-Yes.

-You really love each other, no?

-Totally.

-So?

I don't know why

but he brainwashed Shaio.

I heard it from her own mouth.

She won't marry me.

She doesn't want commitment

or to hear from me.

Can you believe it?

I won't allow my daughter

to get involved with some nobody

in sneakers and a sweatshirt.

Totally. All I want is to

fulfill my duty as the good citizen I am.

So I want to gather

all the evidence I need

and take him

to the appropriate authorities.

Present that evidence immediately,

and if they have to put him in jail,

let them do it.

Shaio is ready to start her agency

and she has a clear vision, right?

Yes. [chuckles]

I actually heard something about that

on the radio this morning,

but what wasn't clear to me

is what the concept is.

It's not just about finding a place

-and putting up an agency sign.

-[all laugh]

I agree. And that's what happens

with agencies nowadays, you know?

I mean, "agencies."

They expect to get work

to go out and look for a model.

They won't offer anything new.

I want my place to have

the most spectacular women in Colombia.

A couple of years ago,

I came across something

similar in New York,

when I'd travel

to see the runways and trends.

So you are also involved in fashion?

Not exactly.

It's just that when I travel

to see furniture trends,

I like to see what's in for fashion, hmm?

There, my friend John,

who owns a very prestigious agency,

he uses that concept, you know?

Few models, but they're rock stars.

[upbeat intriguing music]

Amazing.

When Shaio realized Edgar

shared her vision, she forgot it all.

All the times

she mocked him with Laura,

what she had told Berny,

the ugly face she had the day

of the serenade, and what I told her.

Well, she forgot about all of that

until they talked about money.

Deal?

Hold on, Edgar, before anything else,

I need to ask you something.

Yes, please, go ahead.

What do you need? Ask anything.

Did you really send someone to beat up

the photographer at Blue Cat last night?

-[dramatic music]

-Excuse me?

It's just that, well,

I heard he's in the hospital, d*sfigured,

and that you're involved in that.

Are you serious?

That's serious.

[in an Italian accent] Vito Corleone.

Yes, that's what Edgar turned into.

A confident guy, able to sustain a lie

without being offended, without trembling.

I don't think you can do business

with someone who is suspicious

of something like that, right?

Now the question is, did you see him?

-I heard.

-You heard. Mmm.

Okay, with all due respect,

I suggest that you go

and personally make sure of that, right?

Meanwhile,

we won't be able to make any deals.

I'm sorry, I have things to do.

Edgar, wait a second, please.

It's a misunderstanding.

-It's a misunderstanding, right?

-No, Berny, easy.

You can clarify it. That's okay.

In the meantime, we can't make any deals

and I have a reputation to take care of.

Please, finish your drinks.

Excuse me.

Thanks.

-Well.

-Shaio, what was the need

to ask about that now?

What can I do? That's what I was told.

I needed to clear my doubts.

But didn't you see

that the guy was ready to seal the deal

with all your conditions? All of them.

-Who takes that?

-I know.

But I need to prove it's not true.

Why don't you call Óscar and we'll see?

All right.

-Okay? Let's go.

-Okay.

[dramatic music continues]

Now they're going to see

how dangerous that guy really is.

You'll see.

[suspenseful music]

It's here.

[monitor beeping]

-Good afternoon.

-Are you relatives?

No, so sorry,

there was a patient here this morning.

-His name is Faryd, where is he?

-He's not here, sir.

[Óscar] Are you sure?

I came here this morning,

to this same room, room 505.

With that same window, the bed

was empty like that and Faryd was here.

-Where is he?

-I don't know what you're saying.

Please leave, you're scaring the lady.

So sorry.

Unbelievable.

-No, Shaio, I'm serious. Come here.

-No, Óscar, it's a waste of time.

-You made me look horrible with Edgar.

-No! Berny, believe me.

No. Wait. Wait, I'll ask.

Miss, do me a favor.

Can you see where Faryd is in your files?

It couldn't be, there was no trace,

no file, nothing.

As if I was delirious, hallucinating.

And that day I realized

the magnitude of the enemy I had made.

Edgar wasn't some insecure social climber.

He was a terrifying mobster

with a goal of breaking

into a world where he didn't belong,

and where Shaio and Laura

were his obsession.

They were the gateway he needed to climb

to the level he wanted to belong to,

the Bogotá society

that would never accept him.

[engine starts]

AMBULANCE

[Lombana] Can you finish that for me?

I'll be right back.

Good morning.

See you soon. See you upstairs.

-Go on.

-See you.

TRAINER

[intriguing music]

-[Nico] So

-[Lombana] Here we go.

Nicolás continued his plan

with his father-in-law,

and in the following weeks,

Nico dedicated himself to collecting

all the evidence to sink Berny.

[laughs] He sacrificed at every level.

[Nico grunts]

Chief, we're not talking

about an isolated case.

I have proof, testimonies, witnesses.

Here, in this recorder,

is absolutely everything.

I also have the dose

they inject people with here.

We're talking about a complete network

of ill*gal sales

and trafficking of substances.

[suspenseful music]

I'm really worried

that it's at the gym I go to.

Chief, mothers go there,

young people with dreams

who could be destroyed

thanks to these th*gs,

these criminals.

I wanted to talk to you here

because I spoke to a friend of mine

who I think you might know.

His name is Pedro,

and he has a great morning radio show.

I think you know him. He's quite famous.

Yes.

He wants to do a show about this.

But he asked me to talk to you first,

of course,

because he's one hundred percent sure

you'll act on it.

I'm also sure of that, of course.

While Nico was setting up

his own revenge,

in Barrancabermeja,

Kelly and her aunt

were preparing the portfolio

to send to Shaio and her new agency.

[upbeat music]

Oh, Auntie, you're a badass.

With this look,

the photos are going to be perfect.

You'll look

just like Paola in the pictures.

-Huh? A true queen.

-[laughs] Yes.

Oh, Andrea Vanessa, honey, how about you?

Come here, I'll finish yours.

You'll also look gorgeous. Look.

Go put it on so we can take the pictures.

[Kelly] Come on, Vane.

Sweetie, come on, move it.

[whimsical music]

Did you like it?

[Hollman] Really nice.

Sit down.

Sit down, don't worry.

I spoke to him already.

Hey, Nayibe,

why are you like this to me? All elusive,

as if I had been a bad person to you

or your daughter, your family.

What do you want, Hollman?

And I'll say this right away,

-I'm not available for what you want.

-No.

Don't worry,

I don't want anything with you.

I want her, your daughter.

What's your problem? Forget it.

You're an old man, you're twice her age.

-How can you say that?

-Wait, hang on.

Calm down, sit down,

listen to what I'm here to tell you.

It's convenient for you.

[unsettling music]

I got promoted at the oil company.

They'll send me to El Llano.

Better job, better salary.

But I don't want to go alone.

I want to build a family.

No, sir.

You're a well-seasoned guy,

you're an old hand at this.

She's not. She's a girl.

-That's why

-No, she's not for you.

You're saying it yourself, man.

I'm an old man, well-seasoned,

and I'm also

willing to go along with her whim

to become a model.

I'll let her. In fact, if you want,

you can come with us too.

So you can also have a future.

Don't condemn the girl

to live in this dump.

Don't condemn her or you, Nayibe.

That girl is going to grow up

and start demanding things.

How will you provide? Tell me.

You'll go back to camp

and do what we know.

For now, let's just let her pursue

her agency thing.

I have faith in that.

Excuse me.
