Don't bother me!

Hey!

Hey!

No one goes into my room!

Get out of here!

Here are the snacks, you psycho!

- I'm telling your mother!

- Let go of me!

I've got things to tell her too...

You're just the maid here!

Let's go.

Bye.

Hello.

Raquel, I've been calling

for a while, what's going on?

Nothing, I'm just a little dizzy.

What is it?

Raquel, Mundo called me

because Camila was very sad,

You two were arguing again,

I asked you to not wake them up,

I'm too busy.

I can't remember everything.

I've got too much work.

Yes, you're right,

that's why I'm calling,

I'm going to hire a girl to help you,

OK?

- A girl?

- Yes,

I...

I don't know what lies Camila

told Mr. Mundo but I didn't...

Look, it'll be better for everyone,

I have to hang up now,

there's a student here,

Mom, do you remember that

classmate I told you about?

Yes, I do.

You remember?

He's in jail in Russia.

Don't play with the napkin!

He's in jail in Russia for punching

a cop outside a party.

I can't believe you!

Use the fork, Gabriel!

But wait, one thing...

Eleven years in prison!

And his friends were released.

That's bad news... Thank you.

I'm sure he didn't punch the cop.

It's so unfair,

he should be in school.

Hey Raquel,

want to see a magic trick later?

- You've learned a lot of tricks.

- Yes.

Raising your grades, now

that would be a good trick.

Magic is my thing, look:

I'll turn you into a pig!

See?

Don't believe me? Look!

The napkin...

Lucas, we're eating,

stop it, please...

Close the door!

Mrs. Pilar...

About what you said

this afternoon, I...

Raquel, I'm thinking about it.

Camila has to understand

that I'm...

Raquel please!

Forget about that for now.

Tomorrow is your day off,

go out, rest, go for a walk.

We'll talk later.

Hi, can I help you?

Do you have sweaters?

Yes, those are last season's,

and these are the new ones...

a little more expensive.

Looks good on you.

- Hi.

- How much is this?

It costs 5,000.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I'm taking it.

Cash?

Lucas, stop! Stop!

Raquel, tell him!

It's just a mask.

Lucas, leave them alone.

- Cut it out!

- Okay, enough!

- Have they eaten yet?

- I have no idea.

Who's your mother with?

With Mercedes, a new maid,

she's Peruvian.

Raquel!

I guess she didn't hear.

Raquel, I want you to meet someone.

Lucas told me already.

Raquel...

It's nothing bad...

She's just going to help you.

You can do whatever you want,

you're the boss.

Pick up the pillow.

Gabriel, the pillow...

Mercedes, please come upstairs.

This is Raquel, this is Mercedes.

She's from Peru, close to Lima.

Hello.

Hello, how are you?

Fine.

Could someone please

answer the doorbell!
