S1.E1 ∙ Carmine 76

you are beautiful

You're going to join the parade, you'll stay with me as you please

No wolf

Everyone here knows that anything you do will go viral in seconds.

appearing on all the gossip sites tomorrow, but it's no longer a secret to anyone

How did your father take it?

It doesn't matter.

Do you love me?

I have loved you since the first day I saw you.

Do you remember?

We were kids. We didn't know what we were doing.

I had just lost my mother.

And you came into my life only at the most difficult moment.

And you lit everything up.

I will never forget it.

15 years earlier

Ann.

Do you remember me?

I am your uncle Emilio.

Many years ago I left.

And.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. The fire spread quickly through the fabrics.

I had to travel quickly to Mexico.

This factory was very important to me for the fabrics we manufacture.

But the saddest thing is that we lost a very dear employee.

Yes. Then I'll call you.

Emilio.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Thank you very much, Don Benjamin.

This is Ana, my niece.

She's my sister's daughter who died in the fire.

Anita, I'm so sorry.

Are you always with me?

Well, we want to ask a favor.

I want to take Ana to New York because she's left alone.

But I need your permission to live in the departments with me.

Of course. Of course, of course. Granted.

Thank you.

Ana, you have to be very careful in that city.

You can't let me go because New York is a very dangerous city.

If you get lost, God forbid, but I may never find you.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Do all the velvet employees live in this building?

On this floor, yes.

In others, there are already other families.

It was like before there were a lot more employees and we occupied the entire building.

Ana, I need to talk to Don Benjamin.

Do you want to come with me so you can taste velvet?

Velvet!

This is velvet.

It is the main store of a chain that is throughout the country.

And I am the manager.

The owner is Don Benjamín Márquez. You've already met him.

And this was founded in 1950 by his father.

In the same place.

And since then it is still the favorite store of all the classy ladies in this city.

Everything is so beautiful. And it smells rich.

My lady.

What teacher do I bring?

I didn't understand anything.

You are not allowed to run in the store. Come on.

ALBERTO!

Why do you have to go around like a savage doing whatever you want?

Emilio, collect this mess before it gets to more customers.

Ovis to my hero there.

Come on.

And who is this?

It's Alberto. The owner's son.

This is the sewing workshop.

This is where all the magic begins.

And this is a store of the store.

And what is this?

This is where the magic begins.

And this is a dress called Carmín 76.

It is named for its color.

But also because in 1976 it was the store's best-selling dress.

Now it's a velvet icon.

It's the most beautiful dress I've ever seen.

When I grow up, I want one like that.

Don Emilio.

We are working.

This is Ana, my niece. I just brought him from Oaxaca.

But...

Excuse me, Mrs. Blanca. With permission.

Oh my God. Raquel.

I want to introduce you to my niece. She is Ana.

I just brought it to the United States.

I need you to do me a favor.

Can I leave it for you for a moment while I sort out some problems?

Clear.

Thank you.

Stay here. Don't move while I fix some problems.

Alberto, for God's sake.

Don't you know where that demon boy got in?

And you?

Don't you know where he hid?

Alert security. Search for him now!

Thank you for keeping the secret.

I'd love to. I also like to hide.

Do you want to throw the most beautiful place in all of New York?

Wow! It's like the movies!

It's my favorite place. What part of the world do you live in?

From Oaxaca, Mexico. Have you been there?

No, never. But in Spain, yes. My grandfather comes from there. It's very far away.

But I think my grandmother is Mexican, like you.

Look what I can do.

Take it. I'll give it to you.

It's very cute. When I grow up, I want to be a great designer.

I'm very good at sewing and embroidery.

Shouldn't we go back? Your mother will be upset.

She's not my mother. My mother is dead.

Also, my mother died.

8 years later

Miss, would you be so kind as to help me find a gift for my friend?

Tell me, how is she?

It's beautiful. But be careful if you get angry, okay? A little glimpse of that ...

Oh, yes?

And a divine mouth. If only I could spend all day kissing her.

Ann.

Ann?

Ann?

What happened to the client?

Your employee ANA is the best. See you soon, dear.

Hurry up and fix that dress.

In the same place.

You are my son and you will not do what you want.

You don't decide who I should be either. It's my life, Dad. What world do you live in?

In the real world. You can't go with that girl.

Because he doesn't have money, right? He doesn't care.

No, because she works for us. I don't want you to see her again.

Do you understand? Go to Spain to study.

I'm really sorry, but I won't study there.

I enrolled at a university in New York.

Alberto, open your eyes. You decide your future.

Exactly. That's why I keep the woman I love.

She is the most important thing to me.

Is there anything more important than your family? What is your future? What velvet?

And.

What did your father tell you?

He doesn't understand anything. I won't let us be separated.

Alberto? I told you I don't want you to have anything to do with this.

What did your father tell you?

What did your father tell you?

What did your father tell you?

Alberto? I told you I don't want anything to do with this girl.

What's going on?

What do you have? Dad?

What do you have?

Are you okay?

Dad! Dad!

Dad! Dad!

Now, now, now!

Well, that's it!

It was a heart attack.

And if you don't get any more bad news, Don Benjamin will recover.

I thought you were a little more sensitive, Ana.

Are you falling in love with the owner's son?

Neither Alberto nor I wanted this to happen.

But it happened.

And they kept it a secret because they knew it wasn't working well.

And there are consequences.

Uncle Alberto loves me.

And I love him.

Let's see, what part don't you understand?

What part don't you understand?

They live in completely different worlds.

You can't be together.

And why not? Give me one valid reason, other than Alberto is rich and not.

There are many things you don't know about your family.

And it is not convenient for you to get with them.

Uncle, you've been saying this for years.

But you never finish telling me what's so bad that you know about them.

Because I can't, Ana.

Please, trust me.

You need to forget Alberto, while there's still time.

How are you?

The doctor says he will recover and be back to normal soon.

I didn't want this to happen.

I wanted to protect ours, not to separate us.

I think the best one is...

is that He fulfills His wish and you go to study in Europe.

No, Anna.

Your father wants the best for you.

It would be nice if you could do something for him.

In the meantime, they embroider our dreams, as my mother would say.

You, studying to be a great businessman.

And me, to be a great designer.

It's been a long time since I've seen you. I couldn't bear it.

We will talk every day on the phone.

And you could come visit me without anyone knowing.

What happens if you forget? What if you know someone else?

I love you, Alberto.

I'm not interested in anyone else.

I never thought I would feel what I feel when I'm around you.

Everything is better since I met you.
