La Mujer Prohibida

A NETFLIX SERIES

FORBIDDEN WOMAN

We're here.

Open up. Oh, son of a gun. Thank God.

-Okay? -My legs went numb, man.

-No, it's awful. -Here's what you asked for.

Thank you. Thank you. Bye.

-Hi, Mom? How's she doing? -Fine, fine.

Oh, gorgeous flowers.

I couldn't come here empty-handed.

Are you kidding me?

Tell me, what do you think?

Frankly? Amazing. She's glowing. She just started.

People are already applauding. Good!

I think it's spectacular. Great.

-How did it go? Tell me. -Good.

Look, we have a plan. I don't know if it's good or bad,

but at least it's a start to attack Alexander.

-Well, that's good. -Yes.

-I texted you guys, and you didn't reply. -

When we stopped to get the flowers,

I texted Betty for good luck and she read my message and didn't reply.

-She didn't reply? -No, she didn't.

Oh, shit. We're in for a drama.

Why?

Because she knows you're dating Karen.

What do you mean?

What are you saying, Mom?

I was supposed to tell her myself…

-So? -I didn't open my mouth. Look.

So, what happened?

She connected the dots and found a "K" this big.

-A what? -A K for Karen.

And you've been out of sorts since you started dating her.

Well, it wasn't hard to jump to conclusions, was it?

Cut the dumb look.

Shit.

Bravo! Bravo!

Thank you so much for being here tonight, really.

An important night for me as I'm fulfilling a dream.

Thanks with all my heart.

Bravo!

It's a shame happiness is never complete, right?

That's one of the lyrics that will be on my new album.

But we're not here to talk about lyrics, huh?

We're here to sing, right?

I'd like to invite to the stage, to sing the next song along with me,

Víctor Rodríguez! A round of applause, please!

He got off at the parking lot where he got on.

And?

And I'm worried because he said he intended to talk to Betty.

Look, I don't know what you two talked about,

but one false move by Víctor…

I know, I know.

He asked me to take care of it himself. Don't worry, everything will be fine.

How did it go with the new security detail scheme?

I just played the distant boss. I barely said a word.

I hate it to be put in that position.

I don't know how close the captain and his men can be to Débora and Alexander.

You did very well.

Just be careful.

We must weigh them up first.

And if the time is right,

then we'll see what we can do to get them to play on our side.

-Are you home? -Yes, I'm home.

Okay, get some rest. Thank you for everything.

-Well, if you need anything… -I'll let you know.

-I love you. -Well, I love you, too.

Hello, everyone. How are you?

Congratulations on the release of your album, Betty.

Congratulations.

Let's go, guys.

No, I'm not avoiding referring to the statements

from the Progressive Party's candidate regarding buying votes.

The thing is, there's no point in talking about it

when I'm the standard bearer of the fight against corruption.

The truth, to say the least, borders on ridiculous.

Now, I have some unfinished business to attend to.

I'd appreciate…

…to… to finish this conversation some other time.

Yes, gentlemen. Many thanks, Mr. Journalist.

You're very kind.

Where's Sergio?

He's sleeping.

He's tired from training.

It must be exhausting, right?

Having to constantly cover up your shady affairs.

Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.

Will you deny that everything surrounding your crushing victory

reeks of corruption, which you want to end so badly?

Well, the fact that people like you think

the other party's candidate was the option

doesn't make me guilty of anything.

I hope so.

Otherwise, thanks to your law, you might end up in jail.

That would be ironic.

The president who changed the anti-corruption law

ends up in jail because of corruption.

A great headline.

This is hardly the right time to answer that question.

And I don't think we should even talk about me or my career.

We have to focus on Betty's album's launch,

on the spectacular job she's doing.

Today, she's the star.

So, thank you very much for coming.

I'm going to take care of something.

If you want to ask Mrs. Amalia about the production company,

-she can answer. -Thank you.

Thanks. See you later.

Where are you going? No, sir. They're not calling for you.

Tell me something, ma'am.

It has to do with Karen, right?

Don't be nosy, Jair. They're not asking you.

And they're adults. They solve their own problems.

They're not calling you or me.

And period. Relax.

I'm so glad. I'm very glad you liked it.

Yes, I'll be there, of course. To discuss my future.

Okay.

Say hi to everyone there.

Okay. Bye, then.

The flowers and the message were very nice, Víctor.

It's a shame that with everything I learned today, they mean nothing.

Betty…

I really messed up.

I was looking for the perfect time to talk to you.

And what is the perfect time, Víctor, to say what you're going to tell me?

For how long have you been seeing Karen again?

Since Monday.

-Did you seek her out? -No.

I didn't look for her, but…

-that's not the point. -It is.

No, the point is the reason why we met.

What's the reason, Víctor?

Look,

I'm going to tell you something very sensitive.

And it's also very private.

I'm going to trust you because…

I feel you deserve an explanation.

And also…

because it's important you take Karen out of the equation,

since she has nothing to do with what happened here.

I'm the only one to blame.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

-This is a joke, right? -No, it's not.

Betty,

Karen didn't walk away from me because she didn't care what was going on…

but because Alexander found out what she and I had.

Something very shady happened with the foundation.

Alexander threatened Karen with imprisonment,

and not only that, but with taking her son away from her.

-Oh, Víctor. That's not true. -It is true.
