00:00No, no, Dad.
00:01I swear, it's just another lie.
00:04Today I realized that I do want to continue studying.
00:06Please, Dad.
00:10Neither you nor I, Lucero.
00:11We're going to wait a month like this.
00:14A month for you to appreciate what you've lost.
00:17Or you'll be more fond of the mechanical workshop
00:19or you'll be more fond of school.
00:21It's fair, right, Mom?
00:23No, Dad, please don't take me to the workshop anymore.
00:26Mom, help me.
00:28I'd like to help you, but it's your father's decision
00:31and I can't go against it.
00:33One month is too short.
00:35Tomorrow I'll talk to the principal of your school
00:37so she'll give us a month so you can come back
00:39and she'll accept you again.
00:41I'd rather be an employee somewhere else than with my dad.
00:45Mom, I'm begging you, help me.
00:48Run, run, run!
00:51You know what to do, okay?
00:52Santino, go up.
00:54Careful, I'll hold you here.
00:55Where do you think you're going, young man?
00:58What do you think, ma'am?
01:00We're not going to do the Mugre exam because we didn't study.
01:02So we're going to make the most of the time, right?
01:05Yes.
01:06Young people don't leave this place, so get out of here now.
01:11Don't you dare, young people. I'm going to talk to your parents.
01:15Do it, do it.
01:17It doesn't matter.
01:18Hurry.
01:22Grab it.
01:25Hello, kids. What do you think?
01:28What are we going to take from you?
01:30Give it to me.
01:32Let go of him, girl.
01:41Where were you?
01:42At school, boss. Why?
01:44Why are you lying? You weren't at school.
01:46The principal called your mom and told her you were absent.
01:49What's going on with you, Lucero?
01:51The school isn't for me.
01:53Math, physics, chemistry...
01:56Why do we have to take so many exams?
02:00I'm glad the principal called to tell them the joke.
02:03I'm telling them I'm never going back to school.
02:07You can't leave school.
02:09You have to keep studying for your future.
02:12Your sister had to leave school and work because she had to.
02:15Not you, please, honey.
02:18I've made up my mind, Dad. I'm never going back to school.
02:22I don't want to go, and I won't go.
02:26So you don't want to keep studying?
02:28No.
02:29Very well.
02:30If you don't go to school tomorrow,
02:33will you go to work?
02:34Of course not.
02:35Of course you will.
02:37There are expenses in this house.
02:39If you don't keep studying, you'll have to pay for the house.
02:42Never.
02:44Lucero!
02:52What a mess, Abandá.
02:53What a mess? What do you think?
02:56I've made up my mind.
02:57I argued with my dad again.
02:59He doesn't understand me.
03:01No one in the house understands me.
03:03Because I left school, he's going to make me work.
03:07What's wrong with him?
03:08Forget your dad. He's overreacting.
03:11But to make you feel better, and to cheer you up,
03:14we have some business to do at a junk store.
03:18So let's go. It's in another neighborhood.
03:28And on the weekend,
03:30bring me that extra time in the machine.
03:32The boss asked me for it, and I told her to count on me.
03:35Because, you know, extra time is a little more money.
03:38That's right, honey.
03:40Hey, Zoyla.
03:42You should go back to school and finish high school online.
03:46Yes, Mom, I've thought about it, and I'm going to do it.
03:50Because now, in these times,
03:51if you don't study, it's because you don't want to.
03:54Because there are ways and ways.
03:56Very good, honey.
03:57Not like others,
03:59who, having all the opportunities to study,
04:01kick them out.
04:03Don't start, okay?
04:04I start and finish when I want to.
04:06That's why I'm your father and the head of this family.
04:09You come from the neighborhood with your friends, right?
04:12Is that why you want to stop studying?
04:14To become a tramp, like them?
04:16But I won't allow it.
04:18It's up to me. You're not going to twist me.
04:20The only thing you had to do in this life was study.
04:24Oh, and this is the last time you come to me at this time.
04:28There are schedules in this house. There are rules.
04:30And if you don't want to follow them, you know.
04:33What? Are you kicking me out?
04:35Because one day I'm going to leave here, okay?
04:37One day, and you'll see.
04:38No, no, no. Don't threaten me, Lucero.
04:40You're a minor.
04:41Sit down.
04:45I said sit down!
04:51And stop looking at me like that.
04:53Since we're meeting in the afternoon,
04:55you don't want to study? Okay.
04:57But you're coming with me tomorrow to work at the workshop.
05:01What?
05:02The workshop? No!
05:03Don't argue, Lucero.
05:06You're coming with me to the workshop, period.
05:08End of discussion.
05:20When you finish washing the pieces,
05:22you start setting up all the tools I'm using.
05:24And when you're done, you start sweeping and washing the bathrooms.
05:33Brian.
05:34Mom, what are you doing here?
05:35My granddaughter brought me here.
05:38I just found out you brought her to work.
05:40And I don't agree with her staying without studying.
05:43If they're going to tell you the gossip,
05:44tell them to tell you the good news.
05:46Why don't you tell your grandmother
05:48that you were the one who dropped her out of school?
05:50But she didn't tell you anything.
05:51Just what's best for you, right?
06:00Yes, Dad.
06:01I'd rather go back to school
06:03than have you take me back to the workshop.
06:05Brian, the girl already told you everything.
06:08This day at the workshop was enough
06:10for her to realize the serious mistake she made.
06:13You're a wise man. You know how to rectify things.
06:15No, Mom. And it's not my whim.
06:17She's been lying to us a lot lately.
06:19And this could be another one of her lies.
06:21And I'm not going to fall for it.
06:22No, no, Dad.
06:24I swear, it's not another one of my lies.
06:26Today I realized that I do want to continue studying.
06:29Please, Dad.
06:32Neither you nor I, Lucero.
06:34We're going to wait a month, just like we are now.
06:36A month for you to appreciate what you've lost.
06:39Or you'll be more fond of the workshop
06:41or you'll be more fond of school.
06:43It's fair, right, Mom?
06:45No, Dad. Please don't take me to the workshop.
06:49Mom, help me.
06:50I'd like to help you,
06:52but it's your father's decision and I can't go against it.
06:55One month will pass quickly.
06:57Tomorrow I'll talk to the principal of your school
06:59to give us a month for you to come back
07:02and for her to accept you again.
07:04I'd rather be an employee somewhere else than with my dad.
07:07Mom, I'm begging you, help me.
07:10Let me make a few calls and see what I can get you.
07:13You're as stubborn as my mom.
07:15You want Lucero to work as a punishment, right?
07:17You don't care where or how he does it.
07:20The point is for him to work.
07:23Mom?
07:24Good evening.
07:26Yes, it's me, Irma.
07:28I'm sorry to bother you at this hour,
07:30but my daughter is looking for a job.
07:33Yes, Mom, I recommend it.
07:36Give me plié, stretch.
07:39Give me plié, stretch.
07:43Very good, girls.
07:44Remember that the plié is very important.
07:47I promise that if you improve that plié,
07:50you'll be the best in class.
07:53No, no, it's not just about bending your knees.
07:57Let's see, Carla.
07:59Place it right.
08:01Give me a minute.
08:07What about you?
08:08Get back to work, will you?
08:13Let's continue.
08:15Prepare to jump, please.
08:17Five, six, and seven.
08:20Let's go. And up.
08:22Jump. And three, and four.
08:24No, no, no, not again.
08:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:28And up. Five, six, and seven.
08:32Turn your back.
08:33And one, and two, and three, and four,
08:38and five. Bend your knees.
08:39Six, seven...
08:44Hi.
08:46Hi.
08:47You're new, right?
08:48I haven't seen you before.
08:49Yes, I just started today.
08:52Welcome.
08:53I'm Henry Alexander. What's your name?
08:56Lucero.
08:57Nice to meet you.
09:01Henry, I've been looking for you all over school.
09:05What for, Elizabeth?
09:07Don't be like that. Don't be mad.
09:10You have to keep being my boyfriend, okay?
09:12I'll keep thinking about it.
09:13See you.
09:15Bye, Lucero.
09:16Bye.
09:19Don't you dare put your dirty eyes on my boyfriend.
09:22He's mine.
09:23Is that clear?
09:24What are you looking at? Go clean up.
09:28I brought you some chocolates.
09:31Thank you. I love chocolates.
09:33That's great. Do you like those?
09:35Yes, I love them. All kinds of chocolates.
09:39Henry, you didn't bring me any chocolates?
09:43I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
09:45I didn't even think about you.
09:48You're so rude, Henry.
09:53She's crazy.
09:57Let's watch those movies and see how it goes.
10:27I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
10:57I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
11:17Hi, Lucero.
11:19Hi, Henry.
11:20I'm going to class. Have a good day.
11:23You too.
11:27Bye.
11:47You know, Virgencita,
11:49now that I'm working at the ballet school,
11:52I like to see how all the girls look
11:55with their shoes on.
11:57And here we are.
12:00How do I look with my shoes on, Virgencita?
12:03I look good, don't I?
12:07It must be great to be a famous ballet dancer.
12:10Alicia Alonso.
12:12Maya something.
12:15Or...
12:17Or like Margot Fonteyn.
12:21Yes, Virgencita de Guadalupe.
12:24I'd love to be a famous ballet dancer.
12:29But it's impossible, isn't it?
12:32Because I'm poor and...
12:54But it's okay to dream, Virgencita.
12:57And you know that dreaming isn't expensive.
13:00Do you want to see how I dance?
13:02I've been practicing,
13:03watching the girls at school take their classes.
13:06And I also watch ballet videos on the Internet.
13:24Lucero, you're late.
13:27I brought you some chocolates.
13:29Thank you. I love chocolates.
13:32How nice. Do you like those?
13:34Yes, I love them. All kinds of chocolates.
13:37Henry, didn't you bring me chocolates?
13:41I'm sorry, Elizabeth.
13:43I didn't even think about it.
13:45I'm sorry.
13:47I'm sorry.
13:49I'm sorry.
13:52I didn't even think about you.
13:55You're a rude man, Henry.
14:00She's crazy.
15:44You have a good arch.
15:47Steadiness. Stretching.
15:49No, ma'am. I...
15:50Shut up, girl.
15:52Have you ever danced ballet in your life?
15:55No.
15:57Please, ma'am.
15:58Don't tell the principal, okay?
16:00I need a job.
16:03I promise I'll never come to her class again.
16:08I'm leaving. Excuse me.
16:11Stop right there.
16:14What's your name?
16:16Lucero.
16:18Lucero Andrade Torres.
16:21Lucero, do you want to study ballet with me?
16:26What?
16:28Of course I'd love to.
16:30And a lot.
16:32But I have to work to take the money home.
16:36But you have a lot of talent, girl.
16:39You can go far.
16:41Why don't you ask your parents?
16:44No, it's too late.
16:46I can't.
16:47Ask another family member who can help you.
16:50You really have a lot of talent.
16:53A lot.
16:55Think about it.
17:00That ballet teacher was so cool.
17:03But studying at a school like that must be expensive, right?
17:07Kind of.
17:08Look, the teacher took me to the principal,
17:11who already knows me.
17:13She told her I had a lot of potential.
17:16They should support me.
17:18The principal looked at me and then told me,
17:22this costs the registration and these the monthly fees.
17:26But to support you, I'll give you a 50% discount.
17:30That's what happened, Grandma.
17:32But with everything and the discount,
17:35it's a lot of money.
17:37Yes, Grandma, I know.
17:39But don't worry.
17:42After all, I didn't want to.
17:45Look, Lucero, come here.
17:48Come here.
17:50You came to me because you know you can count on me, right?
17:54I've always told you you have to study.
17:57And ballet is a school.
18:01And well, I don't want to be like your dad.
18:04Of course not.
18:06Tell me, do you really want to study ballet?
18:09I really do, Grandma.
18:11I do.
18:12I realized I like it a lot.
18:14Well, don't say anymore.
18:17I have some savings.
18:20But you also have to buy rehearsal clothes, shoes.
18:24And remember that I have to keep bringing
18:26the money from the week to the house.
18:28Obviously, to make them believe that I'm still working.
18:31That's true.
18:34Let me see.
18:39I know.
18:40I'm going to work for you at school.
18:43And you're going to dedicate yourself to studying.
18:45Yes.
18:46And when they give me the money for the week,
18:49I'll give it to you and you'll give it to your parents.
18:51Problem solved.
18:53I'm going to work for you.
18:55What?
18:56No, Grandma, how?
18:57But if you...
18:58My arthritis principle won't stop us.
19:01You're going to study.
19:03You're going to fulfill your dream because you're going to fulfill it.
19:06And if Miss Ballet said what she said,
19:09it's because she saw something in you.
19:11She's the expert.
19:12And I'm not going to leave you alone.
19:14I'll enroll you tomorrow.
19:17There was a little argument.
19:19You have 50,000.
19:2150,000?
19:22Yes.
19:23Listen.
19:24Yes.
19:25We've earned a lot this time.
19:27There's a game ahead.
19:28You tell me, what are you saying?
19:29How much are you saying?
19:30Because it's the same for both of us.
19:31No.
19:32Obviously, there's a lot of difference between our positions.
19:34I mean, there's a lot in this one.
19:36I was below you in the last one.
19:38I was below you in the first one.
19:39I was below you in the first one.
19:40I was one below you in the first one.
19:41I was below you in the first one.
19:42I was below you in the third one.
19:43Okay?
19:44And I gave you 65 when Pingu said it.
19:46Yes.
19:47And he took 75.
19:48I need to match him also now.
19:50Make it 65-35.
19:52I did it for you last time.
19:53Calculate it for me quickly.
19:54No.
19:55I did it.
19:56Trust me, I did it for you last time.
19:57It may take a day.
19:58Okay, he's saying it.
19:59Okay.
20:00For now.
20:01What are you deciding?
20:022,00,000-1,00,000.
20:032,00,000-1,00,000.
20:06So finally, OP Unicorns is today's number one winning team.
20:09And Chirag gets 200k rumbles.
20:11And Prem gets 100k rumbles.
20:13The second position goes to Dare Dragons.
20:15In which Abhinav and Sway are there.
20:17They equally distribute the rumbles.
20:19And add 75k rumbles in their own accounts.
20:22After discussing a little more in the third position,
20:25Jaijit gets 35k rumbles and Valance gets 15k rumbles.
20:29There's one particular thing that we started in Playground 2.
20:32And that's called the wooden spoon.
20:33And it's given to the captain whose team didn't perform that well.
20:38Yeah, they are at the bottom.
20:39So right now, I would like to call Ritu.
20:41The legend of the Raging Centaurs.
20:44Here's your wooden spoon.
20:46Last year, there was a captain of a team.
20:49He made a whole cutlery set out of it.
20:52But how does it feel?
20:55It feels really bad.
20:56I'm not going to make a set out of it.
20:58Now let's call the winning captain.
