Pulling Strings Page #4

Synopsis: Rachel is an intelligent, modern-day woman constantly on the move. Primarily focused on her career as a diplomatic consul for the U.S. embassy, she's literally lived her life on the move, globe-trotting from city to city. Currently working in Mexico City and set to leave for London, Rachel's world turns upside down on the eve of her own goodbye party when she gets drunk and passes out on the street. Saved by Alejandro, a handsome Mariachi singer and single father, Rachel wakes up in his apartment with no recollection of how she got there. Nor does she remember that she rejected his visa the day before, which he desperately needs for his daughter. Romance unexpectedly blossoms between the two, but either sparks or fists will fly after she finds out his secret.

I'll see you later.

Hey.

Is Cosme coming?

Two tingas, please.

And two horchatas, please.

Thank you.

How's your business?

- My dear partner. It's going great.

- Partner.

- It's going great.

- I'm glad.

See?

I'm even wearing my suit.

- Hi.

- Hi.

It's a pleasure. It's a pleasure.

The pleasure is mine.

Are you a mariachi?

Me? Mariachi? Thank God I'm not.

Hey! We're considered world heritage.

Please have some respect.

And I have good news for you.

I talked to my contact

from the Reforma-Downtown route.

They found your unit.

- That's good news.

- And the driver found a computer.

A computer.

A Macintosh with blue cover.

And who has it?

I have bad news.

What do you mean?

The driver gave it to...

Margarito.

To somebody.

- Did he give it to Margarito?

- Yes.

What?

I don't want to get involved with police.

We're good, Cosme. She has a plan.

Sit please, Cosme.

Hey Alex, can I order tostadas?

Sure, order.

Can I have one of chicken

and one of meat?

And two tingas to go.

Is that all?

Okay, Canicas, La Bikina then.

- La Bikina?

- Is that fine?

- Okay.

- Let's do it!

Alone, La Bikina walks.

And people start to murmur.

They say that she has a sorrow.

They say that she has a sorrow

That makes her cry.

Haughty, gorgeous and proud.

She doesn't let anyone console her.

She shows off her beauty.

Passing by looking at us

But she doesn't mind.

La Bikina.

Has a sorrow and pain.

Calm down, girls! Calm down.

Calm down, please.

Calm down, ladies!

Make a line. Prettier at the front.

Alejandro! Alejandro!

The pretty ones,

only the pretty, lady.

Make a line. One by one.

The pretty in the front.

- Only the pretty, lady.

- Alejandro!

He has to rest his hand.

He has to rest his hand.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Alejandro, I want to have your baby!

Thanks!

"I want to have your baby"?

When did I tell you to say that?

I just wanted to make it seem real,

Uncle Canicas.

Things will get real

when I tell your mom.

Thank you!

You calm down,

take your little friends, and thanks a lot.

Damn, Stephanie,

you said it was "El Potrillo. "

Rulo, how are you?

I'm good, Alex.

- Rulo.

- Canicas.

Where's Mr. Gus?

Your manager? He left this.

That's for last night.

Your manager, right?

- Yes.

- A good night, huh?

- Tuesday was better, remember?

- Of course.

Sure. Sure.

Rulo, where's Mr. Gus?

He had to be here. Where is he?

He is not here.

- About your thing...

- Yes.

He said you should talk

to Margarito back there.

What's with that check?

It's fake.

I know it's fake.

And now Mr. Gus is our manager.

Come on, bro, you're getting

everybody involved in your lies.

Look at that poor gringa.

You'll have bad consequences.
