of the Havana night...

Lola Martinez!

Where's Katey?

Just wait.

Oh, my God!

Funny thing is

when I look into your eyes

I sense something

so sincere in your disguise

You whisper secrets

I hear only in my dreams

Then I wake up

to your tele-smoke screen

I wait patiently

while you play your game

'Cause in the end

I'll be the winner

all the same

You'll see clearly

when the song comes to a stop

I'll be the one

blowing kisses from the top

So, baby, stop,

you're surrounded

I got my love,

love all around ya

One wrong move,

and I'll drown ya

And that'll end ya,

you should surrender

You'll never win

unless you give in

So, stop, baby,

stop, you're surrounded

I got my love,

love all around ya

One wrong move,

and I'll drown ya

And that'll end ya,

you should surrender

You'll never win

unless you give in

So won't you give

our love a chance?

Or do you only wanna dance?

You put your lips

very closely to my face

And then you run away,

and so begins the chase

I'll be the hunter,

but, boy, you better pray

'Cause when I want ya,

I'll get you anyway

You know what I wanna do,

it ain't nothing new

I'm tired of dropping clues,

so when I step to you

Will you rise

to my occasion

Or will you make me

change your station?

Stop, you're surrounded

I got my love,

love all around ya

One wrong move,

and I'll drown ya

And that'll end ya,

you should surrender

You'll never win

unless you give in

So, stop,

stop, you're surrounded

I got my love,

love all around ya

One wrong move,

and I'll drown ya

And that'll end ya,

you should surrender

You'll never win

unless you give in

So won't you give

our love a chance?

If you take my hands

And follow my lead,

I'll make you dance

I can make you dance

But if you get my feet

and miss the beat

Then I can't take

that chance

I can't take that chance

If you take my hands

and follow my lead

I'll make you dance,

I can make you dance

But if you get my feet

and miss the beat

Then I can't take

that chance

I can't take it

So, stop,

stop, you're surrounded

I got my love,

love all around ya

One wrong move,

and I'll drown ya

So, stop,

stop, you're surrounded

I got my love,

love all around ya

One wrong move,

and I'll drown ya

And that'll end ya,

you should surrender

You'll never win

unless you give in

So won't you give

our love a chance?

Ladies and gentlemen...

the judges have chosen our three

finalist couples for next week.

And they are

couple number five...

Jose Velarde and Iris Mesa!

Couple number nine...

Tino and Lourdes Martel!

And...

couple number two...

Javier Suarez

and Katey Miller!

What could we have

possibly done...

to make you want

to hurt us so much?

You humiliate us

in front of everyone...

including your father's boss.

What, did you figure

that he'd lose his job...

- No one's losing their job.

- You going to lose your job?

No. Please, go to bed.

I didn't do anything.

- You lied to us.

- I know, and I'm sorry...

but I knew you wouldn't

let me try--

Kiss a Cuban pool boy

in front of everyone?

You're damn straight

we wouldn't.

And why in the world

would you want to hurt James?

I thought you liked him.

No, you liked him...

'cause he fits into

your perfect country club world.

There's nothing wrong

with that world.

No, but he couldn't

keep his hands off me.

What? What happened?

Nothing happened. I'm fine.

Why didn't you tell us?

Because I didn't want

to mess up your job!

Katey, how could you think...

that my job would be

more important than you?

I didn't want to hurt you.

I just wanted to help Javier,

which is his name, by the way.

Oh, God,

I love dancing with him.

Oh, Katey.

Did it ever occur to you that

that boy might be using you?

A nice American girl who can be

his ticket out of Havana?

That's not true.

You may love dancing

with that boy...

but there are more

important factors here...

Iike your family

and your future!

Why does it have

to be either- or?

Just because you gave up

your passion, why should I?

Katey.

Katey.

Katey, wait. Honey, wait!

I'm going to Javier's.

Your mother's just trying

to protect you.

I'm gonna be out there

on New Year's Eve...

no matter what

you and Mom think.

No more lies.

He's out celebrating...

so if you want

to wait for him...

That was Katey.

It's OK. She's with his mother.

Was I wrong?

No...

but neither was Katey.

Sometimes I wish we--

I just try to imagine

what it would be like...

if we hadn't had...

Does it make me a bad mother?

Of course not.

You were good.

It's OK to miss it.

They sure spiced up

our old routine, didn't they?

I'll say.

That wouldn't have gone over

too well at Roseland, would it?

No.

Bert, she's not

a little girl anymore.

What are you reading?

Jos Mart.

It was my father's.

We got rid of all his books

just to be safe, but...

I kept this one.

Hello.

- Javier?

- Yeah?

- If we don't win the finals--

- We will.

But if we don't...

I'm not gonna go to college

in six months.

You don't know how

you're gonna feel in six months.

Yes, I do.

No, you don't.

I don't want you

to give up your dreams for me.

But I have new dreams now.

Susie, why don't you and I go

raid that buffet by the pool?

Sure.

Tree looks nice.

Your father and I

discussed it...

and we think

that you should do...

a double turn at the finals.

You like the way I danced?

Katey...

if you're asking me to approve

of you and this boy, I can't.

But the dancing...

The dancing was incredible.

I think I should take

a little credit for that.

I think you should, too.

- Hi!

- Hi!

Javier, these are my parents.

Hi, Javier.

It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

It's an honor to meet

such wonderful dancers.

This is from my mother's garden.

Thank you.

That was sweet of you.

- This is for you.

- Thanks.

- Shall we?

- Yeah.

Tonight we bring you

the three winning couples...

from the Latin ballroom

competition.

Do you want to dance?

Don't you dare!

Feliz ao nuevo,

ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to our Latin ballroom

amateur dance contest final.

You will dance on the stage

one couple at a time.

Tonight's winning couple

will win $5,000.

You are up first.

Our first couple this evening

is Mr. Jose Velarde...

and Miss Iris Mesa!

Don't forget

to look at the judges.

Don't worry about the others.

Remember, you're the queen

of La Rosa Negra.

Our final contestants

this evening...

Miss Katey Miller

and Mr. Javier Suarez.

Sorry!

He's got a gun!

No!

Go! I'll find you!

No.

Oye.

Viva la revolucin!

Attention, all hotel guests.

President Batista

has fled the country.

There is no immediate danger.

Please contact the front desk...

I can't believe it's real.

Don't you wanna be

out there celebrating?

No. I wanna be

right here with you.

We didn't win the contest.

No.

But the consolation prize

was pretty good.

I'm so happy

I can see all this with you.

What?

Nothing.
