CREATED BY CRIS MORENA

MARGARITA
MAKE YOUR STORY COUNT

He loves me
He loves me not

I love him a lot
With all I've got

In every petal
I see his face

Telling me he loves me
He loves me

He loves me

He loves me
He loves me not

-Look at that cutie.
-Thank you.

When disappointment strikes,
we have two options,

drown in sad videos
or blast some furious heavy metal.

-Hello.
-Did you tell Margarota?

-No, I couldn't.
-Don't do it.

If the plan's to work,
you must keep it secret.

I can't, Petra.
I'm sick of court duties.

I used to do it because I'm a prince,
now I do it not to be one.

-Come here, Merlin.
-I'm done.

Why the sad face?

Let me guess, it's Merlin.

-I can't imagine how hard it is.
-What?

The plan you mentioned.
I don't know anything.

But I can help if you want. Tell me.

We'll return the favor,

and since you're in love,
let's hit where it hurts.

Mar.

Mar!

No! Mar!

Fate depends on the path we choose.

That's why crossroads are tough.

CROSSROADS

Shall we play the montage?

I bet it'll go viral in seconds.

Does she know she's the real Margarita?

You're not taking away what I've built!

You have no idea
who you're dealing with!

Actually, it's the other way around.

I won't let the lies about Daisy
go to waste.

You're the one who doesn't know
who you're dealing with.

What do you want? Who are you?

I'm done. Come here if you dare.

Is it the Fritzenwaldens?

I could post these pathetic images.

Someone's in trouble.

So everyone sees who you really are.

Daisy isn't the princess of Krikoragán.

I won't let the lies about Daisy
go to waste.

Is it Fritzenwaldens?

Someone's in trouble.

Is it?

Is it too late?

Madam, what happened?

Call Severino.

-Call Severino!
-Okay.

Shut up, or I'll make you.

Even if in pieces, I'll escape.

There's no need for threats. Let's talk.

What happened?

-What is it, Tubo?
-I don't know. It stopped.

Told you this car is trash.
We need to replace it.

Why don't you take a moment to reflect?

I think you missed the mark.
No one's paying for my ransom.

Shut up, or I'll cut your tongue.

What if we all just go our own way?

Shut up! I told you to shut up.

Let's go, Tubo.

Unbelievable!

Merlin!

No!

Take that!

Run!

-You scumbag.
-Rey, come back!

Are you okay? Did they hurt you, Mar?

I'm fine. Thanks to you two.

-I almost died when they took you.
-Yeah.

It was the same two
who tried to kidnap me.

I'm sorry. Why'd I let you go alone?

I should've gone with you.

It's okay.

It's over now.

A crossroads is a tug of w*r.

One side pulls, the other too.

-Shall we?
-Let's go.

But true love?

No.

She doesn't have it. She can't.

Poor thing.

So, yeah. Delfina doesn't love you.

I'd rather hear it from her.

But she will. Give it a week.

You'll be just a toy.

And that's pretty rough.

-It really sucks.
-It does.

-It's annoying.
-Because I'm her confidant.

Her most trusted best friend.

Actually, her only friend.

And we work for her.

Imagine her face
when she finds out about us?

There's nothing going on between us.

There's nothing.

Imagine her face...

Delf, are you okay?

Please, leave. She doesn't want to talk.

Delfina, are you okay?

She can't talk. Didn't you hear?

Let her tell me that.

Let's talk later, please.
I don't feel well.

Happy now? Let's go.

No, Delf.

-Please.
-Let's go, love.

-Severino's here.
-Salo, step aside.

How long will I stay here?

Until a donor shows up,
you'll have to stay.

I want to be with my friends.
Why can't I do it there?

You're too weak,
you might catch something.

-Can I be alone for a bit?
-Yes.

This is a story

I know almost by heart, you see

Grandma's myths
If you drink the soup with glee

She likes bugs.
That's both a threat and strength.

Hi.

I told you
I don't like when you sneak up.

But I'm always here.

Looks like someone's
really into investigating me.

-What do you want?
-I brought you a fruit.

I didn't ask for it.

No, but I know
you always eat around this time.

Thanks.

I don't mind you stalking me.
I love a good interrogation.

Feels like I'm a criminal
or a celebrity.

If you want, we can walk,
and I'll answer your questions.

No, thanks. I'm good here.

Can you leave?

-I don't like eating with company.
-Okay.

Dance, dance little princess

With your bare feet in play

Let your soul unwind

For your beloved is on the way

Dance, dance little princess

In your enchanted wood

Of love so pure and good

Of a love long desired

What happened?
Looks like his heart got ripped out.

Mei went home,
and he thinks she's ghosting him.

Love makes us suffer.

Tell me about it. It's my curse.

I always love and get nothing back.

It's like having a k*ller dress
you can't wear.

Have you tried the law of attraction?

I've tried everything, Juliet.

Everything, but no luck.
Guess I'm destined to be a nun.

That's my sad life.

So sad that you know what would help?

-What?
-A sweet treat made by you.

A spoonful of caramel,
gingerbread or a pavlova.

-But those aren't vegan.
-No.

But this will be our little secret.

Alright.

Jano sent a kitten emoji! So cute.

Cancel the non-vegan plan. No caramel.

I want to tell everyone about us.

My friends are going to go crazy.

-How was the test?
-Fine. Yours?

Fine. Just normal.

For now, it's best to keep it a secret.

Who's texting?

Don't tell anyone.

-Pili.
-Not even your friend.

Asked about the live stream.

And you?

It's my mom. She's on her way.

That's weird. Mar never misses it.

Daisy.

Can you tell me where you've been?

Sorry, Ada. Do you know where Mar is?

What? Margarita helped you escape?

It was help day, and she didn't go.
I have a bad feeling.

Don't tell me.
I've had a bad feeling all day.

Something that wouldn't have happened
if you hadn't run away.

Enough, Ada. It's not the time.

Not the time, missy?
Then go take a shower.

Are you okay?

Calm down. Just had a setback.

What setback? They did something.

I'm fine. Seriously.

Don't lie, Mar.

I know something happened. I felt it.

Don't play babysitter, Pipe.

Look at me. I'm perfectly fine.

-Who was it?
-The police.

We need to file a report.

What are they talking about?

We'll explain later.

No. Just do it now.

You both know what happened.
I'm all ears.

Start talking.

It's getting worse. We need to act.

Tell me what to do,
because I don't know anymore.

Don't you see he knows everything?

He's not some criminal.

He's not after money.
He's playing a different game.

What game?

Maybe you're right,

and Margarita isn't
as innocent as she seems.

She's here to unmask you
as the Countess of Monte Cristo.

Or maybe she's unsure,

and is setting a trap
to see how you react.

-Like Hamlet.
-Whatever.

I'll make her believe
I acted in good faith and...

No. It's not the time for manipulation.

We need to be drastic.

They're my father's accomplices.

They blackmailed me
into opening the gate.

Or they'd separate me
from my mother and siblings.

I had no choice.

So you let them in to kidnap me?

I didn't know what they'd do.
I thought they were just robbing.

-But I stopped them.
-Are you crazy?

You put everyone at risk.
Merlin, Mar and Daisy.

Daisy and Mar? Are you insane?

That's enough.
Rey isn't to blame for his father.

He was cornered.

We've all been through that. Right?

No need, Mar. They're both right.

You stopped it and it ended well.
So let's calm down.

I'll take a shower.

Thank you so much.

Again.

I owe you my life.

I couldn't have done it alone.

You weren't bad at all.

Well, I'm a bit out of shape,
but I helped.

You always surprise me.

We need to talk.

Are you okay, Merlin?

Pipe told me you had a fight.

We'll talk later.

Daisy, please.
Don't you know it's dangerous?

Your guards don't either.

Tomorrow I'll tell the court
to expel them.

I already said they aren't to blame.

I have my ways.

You're being very cheeky,
and crossing the line.

Yes, that's what I needed.

To discover life.

Real life.

I know you and my aunt care for me,
but the world isn't like that.

The world is what Pipe shows me.

Okay, I'm sorry.

And what world has Mr. Pipe shown you?

Where people eat on the street.
Where everyone rides the bus together.

And they read and study
on the way to work.

And where many people suffer
and need things.

And it's close by.
Why didn't you teach me this?

Because...

The world is so unfair, Daisy.

I understand. You have no idea.

But we need to do something.
We can't just look after ourselves.

You are truly
a reflection of your parents.

I totally agree with you.

Yes, we'll figure out how to help.

-Later.
-Later is too late.

It has to be now.

-Now?
-I have an idea.

Let's organize an event where people buy
tickets to see our shows.

And we can sell crafts and food.
Pipe knows about that.

-The money will go to those in need.
-I love it.

Great idea. Well done.

But we need time to organize.

There's no time, Ada.

-People need things now.
-Okay.

I'll talk to my aunt.

Yes, I'm very busy,
and I need breaks too.

For example, I just had juice with Pipe.

Anyway, are you camping?

I saw it on Instagram.

Jano's calling me. What should I do?

Hi.

Yes, I'm campig with friends.

They went to a party,
but I stayed to rest.

That sounds fun.

I wouldn't sleep on the grass, but...

Maybe if you had come with me...

I mean, it's more fun with friends.

Why don't you invite Pipe?

Yes, Pipe loves this stuff.

But tell me about you.

On the first day, we went biking
with everyone.

I don't eat barbecue. I'm vegan.

The days were beautiful, so we had fun.

I don't know if I'd bike up a mountain.

I grew up in an apartment.
I can't ride a bicycle.

It's okay. I'll teach you.

But you'll have to teach me to dance.
I'm terrible.

Fair enough.

-Are you still there?
-Yeah.

I'm thinking...

I don't think
I've ever heard you sing either.

Two eyes set off

On a journey far away

They have no awareness

Of what tomorrow may convey

They don't know of love

Or the freedom's play

They had no time

And now time slips away

That's beautiful.

Your voice is so beautiful.

You can act, dance, sing,

cook your dishes or sell your designs.

Raising funds is all that matters.

Of course, bestie,
count on me for anything.

-I'll see if the fittings have arrived.
-Go on, go.

Go on.

Good morning.

You're up early.

It's not that early, Mar.

-No?
-Not at all.

I must have...

What's it called again? Jetlag.

Got it.

It's definitely jetlag.

Heard about the event
Daisy is organizing?

-What about...
-What?

-We could sing together.
-No way.

Mar and I have a rap battle.
We'll earn more money with it.

The audience can bet and...

You know.

Seriously, Rey?

Rap is boring. It's always the same.

You don't get it
because you're all Bach and Beethoven,

but rap is never the same,
it's improvised.

Nice, but Mar is with me.

Sing with Sasha. It'll be great.

Sing with your fiancée.
People love a royal couple.

Why don't you deal
with the mess you got us into?

-Got it.
-Tell Delfina.

Enough. That's enough talking.

Wash your mouth.

Here, Mar. Mine's cleaner.

-Stop, Mar.
-Wait.

-Leave.
-Wait, Mar.

-Can we talk, Mar?
-Talk to me.

There's a charity event today.
Will you be my date?

What is it?

Just saw the lights on.

Shall we grab some ice cream?

Wake up! A lot has happened, Delfina.

We need to act now.

That's what I've been saying
all along, but no!

-It's all nonsense to you!
-Fine.

I've been thinking...

If we've managed
to live this good life until now,

it's because the real Margarita
was off the map. Right?

-I agree.
-That's the solution.

We need to take her out.
Eliminate her. Get rid of her.

-You mean k*lling her?
-No.

I mean,
let's keep this good life and freedom.

But for Daisy's charade not to fall,

we need the real Margarita to disappear.

-What about those behind her?
-What can they do if she's gone?

So?

What do you say?

What is it?

Salo.

The day just started
and I'm dealing with the princess.

I'm not criticizing,
but she got this from Delfina.

They come up with ideas,
but I'm the one who has to organize.

The event is great.

-I'm going to...
-I'm very supportive.

But I thought
we could do something this weekend.

Just the two of us. What do you think?

Daisy.

What? No, Yamila.

No. I mean, Yamila,
I just heard Daisy calling me.

She called me. Daisy, did you call me?

-Hello.
-Did I call you?

No, I just saw the pizza.

Salustiano,
get her to come to her senses.

There are too many people here.
It's dangerous.

We're tempting fate.

Ada, we've discussed this.
No need to worry.

We've boosted security
and cameras are running.

See? You're the only paranoid one, Ada.

It'll be amazing.

Let's organize the auction.

-Did you call me paranoid?
-Just a bit, Ada.

-Spare me.
-But we love you this way.

-How absurd.
-I love you even if you're paranoid.

Pi, leave the drinks with Juli
and handle the pizzas.

They look delicious.

You got it, Captain.

-Thanks.
-Did he say "Captain"?

Yes, he did.

-It's a joke.
-Hello.

Why do you always pop up like this?

I have superpowers, Pipe.

I read minds.

You need to take care of the pizzas.
Leave it to me.

All right.

Knock knock. It's Juliet.

Yes, I saw you.

I didn't mean to scare you.

I know you saw me.
You know me better than I know myself.

You have a PhD in Juliet.

I like you, Romeo.
I'd like to go on a date with you.

How about we go to the aquarium?

I don't know.

Send me an invitation by email,
and I'll confirm.

-Great.
-All right.

Otto, I need an urgent tutorial.

I can't right now. Just a moment.

You have no idea what Daisy organized,
Mei. Aren't you coming?

Yes, I heard. But I can't.

My mom is out of town,
and I need to take care of the cats.

It's just one afternoon.

Mei.

What's up?

Mei, this is about me. Isn't it?

If you think we're incompatible,
I understand.

I'm a bit silly, disorganized,
Mercury retrograde...

But don't skip this because of me.

No, it's not because of you.

It's my cats.

I need to take them to the vet.
But I'll try to go.

All right. Can you help me now?

No, buddy.

Something's wrong and I don't know what.

Calm down, sweetie. This is bad for you.

Let me go to the event today, at least.

But you heard the doctor.

But it's just today. I'm fine.

-No, Mei.
-I'm fine.

Look, I'm great.

Are you okay?

Come here.

Come here. Lie down.

Stay like this.

This is all so tacky.

I can't believe Delfina agreed
to a fair at the Hangar.

It's not her style at all.

But anyway, we know how she is.

She has to indulge the princess's whims.

I highly doubt Daisy came up with this.

The charity clown fair
must be Margarina's idea.

Maybe. She really likes to help.

How naive of you.

She did it to fix her image
after the scandal.

She can't stand not being adored.

Let's see how she handles it this time.

Girls, I love it,
but hang it over there.

Catalino will tell you where to stay.

-Thank you, Your Highness.
-Your Highness.

Look what I made. Want to try?

I love it, but I can't.

It's fine, I'll help you.

There you go.

Delicious. Thanks.

I'll be right back.

Sasha, it's on the other side.

First the bodyguard.

And now the princess' chef?

What's next?

Housekeeper Pipe. Watch out, Ada.

No, you're irreplaceable.

I...

I'm just a friend.

-Hey.
-Hey there.

-What a surprise.
-I told you I'd come.

Didn't you get the text?

Yes, but I thought you were camping.

He wanted to come back early.

But it's really cool here.

Daisy asked me to leave this at a tent.

But go ahead, buy, play, bet.
It's all for charity.

Shall we walk around?

MAKE YOUR STORY COUNT

I want to know who your Romeo is.

That guy. Isn't he a cutie?

-A lemonade, please.
-Sure.

-And you, buddy?
-I don't know.

What do you recommend?

Two lemonades.

Thanks.

Sol, look at me.

-Do you like the invitation I made?
-Why an invitation?

I invited him to the aquarium,

but he's very formal,
so it has to be in writing.

Do you want to go to the aquarium?

Zeki, I know you're unlucky in love,
but I need your help.

Not now. I'm swamped.

Romeo, did my girls leave?

I don't know, I have a dilemma.
Can you help me?

No way. Girlfriends in sight.

ROMEO REJECTED YOUR INVITATION

Under the pressure of a crossroads,

the easiest is to stick
with the known and safe path.

We need to be quick and precise.

No loose ends. Okay?

Got it about 14 times already.

Calm down. Let me think.

So, are you giving me the green light?

Debating between the known evil
and the unknown good,

is the essence of a crossroads.

-Are you listening?
-I heard.

Leave me alone. Let me think.

-Green light or not?
-But...

But...

Why is this crap here?

Are you trying to k*ll me?
What are you doing?

When you steal my ideas,
I've got plenty of motivation.

-Get out. I need to think.
-Okay.

I need to think.

What's with your boyfriend's dark vibes?

He could use
a splash of color sometimes.

Like a bright happy yellow
or a well pigmented green.

-Are you okay?
-You tell me.

Maybe there's a fliquiti stuck.
Tell me how I can help.

Sure. Maybe you can help.

I'm all ears, hands, feet,
whatever you need.

Do you know how you can help?

Get those filthy things off my hanger.

Don't mind her, Mar.

We can use it for our presentation,

or to make our duo official,
so it's up to you.

What duo?

I've managed to form a girlband.

It's bit weak on rehearsals, but...

I'm talking about us.
How long will we hide it?

I'm not the attention-seeking type,

and I'm on an offline detox.

What's up? Don't want Merlin to know?

Got it.

What? Because of Merlin? Please.

That's ridiculous.

Be honest, Mar.
Don't you feel anything for him?

As real as the British Crown Jewels.

I feel nothing. Zero.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

It's amazing what Daisy's done
in such a short time.

She clearly takes after someone.

Did you call Astrid?
She might be interested in the event.

No, and today isn't just about work.

What you're seeing is the best reward.

And can I tell you something
risking my job?

You don't need a bronze statue, Delfina.

-Wait.
-Are we doing it?

Please continue.

No, but changing the subject,
you didn't respond to my message.

About what?

About what we talked about.

I said since we're searching
for each other so much,

it's time for us to go out.

What do you suggest?

I prefer to keep that a secret.

I'm the type who likes surprises.

Even knowing the pool is full,

the idea of jumping scares us.

Because it means falling.

-There you go.
-Thanks.

They look great, darlings.

Go over there and my lov...

My lovely assistant will charge you.

-Thanks.
-Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Thanks.

Thank you so much.

Jano, I need a favor.

-What favor?
-I like Sol.

But she won't leave her friend.
Could we double date?

The other is Juliet,
a bit quirky like you like.

Shall we go?

Follow the path we've been given
or risk the unknown?

Another fliquiti.

It's best she stays here
to avoid infections.

Okay.

Staying home will help.
It'll boost the mood.

-Okay. Thanks.
-Anytime.

-Thanks a lot.
-See you.

Are you okay?

You know what makes me happy isn't here.

I don't know why we insist.

Because soon a donor will appear.
Trust me.

-Who is it?
-It's Otto.

I'm here to see Mei.

Don't worry.

-What is it, Otto?
-I came to see you.

I don't understand what's happening.

You lied. I mean...

You said your mom was away,
but she's not.

Go away, I can't now.

It's me. Isn't it?

Tell me...

Just say it.

Talk to me, please.

There's nothing to talk about.
That's it.

I realized I'm not ready
for a relationship.

I want to be alone.

No one can win
the tug-of-w*r between two forces,

because eventually,
the pull will break us in two.

I thought it was a ghost
and almost wet myself.

I want to talk, Mar.

I have no time to talk.

Help me with this.
Let's see if anyone wants them.

Hold this and this too.

There's no need to pretend.

I know everything.

About what?

I saw you kissing Rey last night.

So that's why you were angry as a bull?

-You're jealous.
-It's not jealousy.

-It's anger.
-And you're angry?

Angry at myself, Mar.

I'm torn between what I should do
and what I want,

and do nothing.

I lost the love of my life.

Don't be so dramatic.

You haven't lost anyone.
You're getting married.

The engagement is a sham.

I set this up with Petra
to protest the monarchy.

-What?
-Yes.

I didn't tell you
because we didn't want any leaks.

But I can't lie to you anymore.

I don't love Petra. I lo...

-Stop saying that.
-I only love you.

I always have,

since the first day I saw you.

I think even before.

From another life. Who knows?

I don't want us to continue like this.

Even though you're with Rey,

I know you love me.

But eventually, we need to decide.

Because two opposing forces
will always leave us in the same place.

If you want to hurt me

I won't deny

I don't know how to defend myself

From someone like you

Someone who keeps secrets
Lies and stories too

And makes me suffer

If you want to hurt me
Here I am

Come to me

You go away
And then, you appear

I look for you
But you're not there

At night
I think of you

And sometimes
I can't get through

This game is so insane

I don't want to play again

Nor be the one who cries
And searches for you

Even knowing
You won't be there too

This is not a game
And all is real

I know how much I love you

And sometimes I can't deal

I don't want to lose you
Nor make you cry

I daydream
Of seeing you nearby

I dream
That you will arrive

If you want to hurt me

I won't deny

I don't know how to defend myself

From someone like you

Someone who keeps secrets
Lies and stories too

And makes me suffer

If you want to hurt me
Here I am

Come to me

I never meant to hurt you

It's something I can't do

You're the princess I've dreamed of

I keep no more secrets

This is my truth
Nothing less

I hope to find you

To love you again

This isn't a game we play

It's so real
In every way

I know how much I care

But, sometimes
I'm lost in despair

I don't want to lose you

Or see you shed a tear

I daydream
Of catching your sight

I dream
Of you here tonight

If you want to hurt me

You can go ahead

How can I defend myself

From someone like you?

Keeping secrets
Lies and tales

Making me suffer

If you want to hurt me

Here I am

Come to me

Come to me

Come to me
