01x08 - Lucía's Secret

[bunniefuu]

It looks like we have our new Ellie.

[Cocó] Congratulations, Laura.

PREVIOUSLY

[Caterina] I don't know
what I'm going to do about Diego.

The tour is going to take forever.

[Allegra] And aren't you going
to miss your mom?

[Caterina] She doesn't understand me.
I suppose I learned to love her.

[Allegra] My mom loved Cocó.

Something happened to cause her
to separate from my grandmother.

Maybe it has something to do with
what happened opening day with the fire.

[Caterina] That night I lost everything.

I lost my friend. I lost my boyfriend.

And I lost my mom.

[Marco] I think
it would be better if you go.

Sometimes I don't know
if it would be better

to run a bulldozer over the theater,

collect the insurance and be done with it,
you know?

Hey!

-[gasps]
-[screams]

I know you. Bárbara Diz?

What happened that night was total chaos.

After the fire,
they shut down the theater.

And the worst thing

was that they blamed Dad
for everything that happened.

And he's 200% innocent.

Are you sure he had nothing to do with it?

Of course, sweetie.

Dad loves this theater.

He would never have done anything
to destroy it.

Don't believe me?

Ask him yourself.

-Tomás is here?
-[laughing]

Of course! Where else would he be?

Come. Come on in. Here he is.

In the movies, nothing good ever happens
when the chair turns around.

Sweeties, aren't you going to say hello?

Uh, yes. Um...

Hello, Tomás.

[chuckles]

It's a pleasure meeting you.

I pictured him being taller, no?

I think I know you from somewhere.

No way. No, we've never met before.

-No, no.
-Hmm.

You said you were going to show us
some of your treasures.

Yes! Of course.

My most valuable treasures.

I stored some things away
so the police wouldn't take them.

Dad gave me this doll
right after he bought the theater.

Oh!

The Freaky Friday hourglass.
It's beautiful.

Now I know where I know you from.

-We have to go. It's getting late and...
-Yes.

-Bye-bye. Thank you for everything...
-It can't be. Is that you?

I think you have me confused
with someone else.

-Yeah, yeah, totally.
-Don't lie, Laura.

It's you. You haven't changed.

I tell her that all the time.
All the time.

She's a spitting image of her mother.

What?

She's Caterina Sharp's daughter.

They look like clones, don't they?
People get them confused.

-[laughs]
-[Allegra chuckles]

Oh, no wonder your face
looked familiar to me.

You're a Sharp.

I hate all of you. Especially Cocó.

-What did my grandmother do to you?
-They betrayed us.

Even my best friend betrayed me.

Greta stole the love of my life.

And she showed no mercy to Marco.

What are you talking about?
What happened to Marco?

Oh, sweeties.

On opening night,

Marco and Laura were together.

Greta knew it.

She swore she would get revenge on them.

And she did.

INTERTWINED

That's what I'm saying.

If you hadn't shown up,
I don't know what would've happened.

And you probably would've ended up
sharing Tomás's urn on the spinning chair.

-[chuckles] No, really. Thank you.
-[sighs]

It makes me happy
to know I can count on you again.

No, don't get any ideas.
This doesn't change a single thing. Hmm?

I still think it's an epic fail you're
spending this much energy on the past.

[sighs]

But, well, I imagine you're happy
that you got the part of Ellie.

Yes. But I couldn't have done it
on my own.

Without the help of my mom in the past,
and my grandma in the present,

I wouldn't have beaten Greta.

The only way to fix things between them

is to find out what happened
on opening night.

[sighs] Mom, Cocó...

Greta, Tomás,

Diego, Marco...

They all seem like pieces of the puzzle,

but I don't understand
how they fit together yet.

[sucks teeth, sighs]

I know.

What if you look
for another piece of the puzzle?

I don't know.
Another performer in the company. Hmm?

Someone who knew Marco too.

Yes. I know who.

Who?

Dante. He's the other member of Serotonin.

There you have it.
And don't forget the VHS tapes, okay?

What I don't know is where you're going
to find a VCR in 2021.

-[laughs] Don't worry. Come on, let's go.
-No, I can't.

I have to rehearse the short with Sofía.

With Sofía?

Didn't I tell you?
She's the new lead in the short.

♪ Where I go, the sun guides me ♪

[music ends]

Want me to play it again?

No. I don't want you to move a millimeter.

[scoffs] So what am I? A pillow?

Yes, and I want to keep my pillow forever.

Mmm. I think...

It seems to me that the Sharp girl
isn't used to working.

Honestly, I understand Greta
a little bit better now.

I don't know how she can stand the noise
of the games all day long.

-Cocó Sharp's perfect punishment.
-[chuckles]

But going to the literary workshop
turned my day around.

Oh, yeah?

I thought I was the one
who turned your day around.

Ahem.

Cocó! [chuckles] Hello.

Caterina and I were just...

Can you please leave me alone
with my daughter?

We need to talk.

Yes.

[door shuts]

I just spoke with Greta's mom.

I don't understand
what's going on with you, Caterina.

On that, we can agree.
You never understood me.

You give me no choice.

No more friends over until further notice.

CAMDEN
Galleria

[pop music playing]

Okay, perfect. Let's see.
Let's try this again, but a little faster.

-[door opens]
-Okay.

[music resumes]

-What are you doing?
-[music stops]

Uh, we're trying out some arrangements
for the demo.

Oh, okay.

I thought I was in the band.
Thank you for inviting me.

Come on, quit it with the drama.

Don't be offended.
I told you I wanted to try something new.

And I told you I wanted to record my song.

Yes, but I think you're a bit confused.
Our band doesn't have a front man.

-So you can't decide everything.
-Neither can you.

Dante agrees with me.

Don't you?

Oh, yeah?

Uh...
Well, I think Marco's idea is a good one.

-It doesn't hurt to try it out.
-Okay.

We have a date to record our demo.

There's no time for you to keep toying
with being Gen X's David Bowie, Marco.

[exclaims] Your attitude is exhausting.

Oh, yeah? And I...

I'm exhausted by getting roped
into your lies with your dad.

What does that have to do with it?
We're talking about music, Diego.

Exactly. Exactly.

-Hmm.
-You're acting like you're a rebel rocker

when you're actually a baby
afraid to confront his dad.

[scoffs] No. I won't play your game.
I'm not the least bit interested.

But I will say one thing.

If you don't open your mind a little
and take it down a gear,

we're not going to have a demo.

[door opens, shuts]

[Tomás] We've talked about this
20 times. Please.

-Come on.
-Again.

No, you promised me that you'd convince
Caterina to play Ellie.

Laura is very talented.
She may not be a Sharp, but she's special.

Talent isn't a synonym for success, Cocó.

People want to see the two Sharp women
together on stage.

Nobody is going to pay to see someone
they don't know.

[gasps] Tomás.

You see the state of the lighting console?
I invested a fortune in this show.

I am so deep in debt I couldn't make
necessary repairs to the theater.

I wanted to install all new electrical,
Cocó.

Well, that's your problem, Tomás.
You accepted the new budget.

Because you promised me a smash hit.

And it will be.
It's going to be a smash hit.

And Caterina will come back eventually.

-I'm here.
-What are you doing here?

I asked her to come.

I wanted to speak with her.
Caterina is like a daughter to me.

You're not the best person
to solve this problem.

Let me take care of it. Go. Don't worry.

All right. Do what you want.
I'm going to rehearse.

I imagine you know
what I want to talk to you about.

-The jasmines that bloomed in my garden?
-[both chuckle]

Oh, Caterina.

You know I love you very much, right?

I saw you grow up.

I love you too.

And I also saw you grow up.

[both chuckling]

Let's get straight to the point.

I'm willing to do whatever it takes
for you to come back.

Tell me what you want.

Do you want your own dressing room?

-How about tropical fruit every day?
-[chuckles]

It's yours.

I would love to say yes to you...

but I'm not interested in being on stage.

I have other plans for my life.

I'm sorry.

[sighs]

[breathing heavily]

[object creaks, clatters]

-[thud]
-[shrieks]

[creaking]

[screams]

Cut. Good.

Guys, we'll do another take in a minute,
so get everything ready, okay?

-Um, I want more debris.
-Okay.

I want it to be in the way,
so it's hard for her to walk.

-Okay.
-And add a couple of burnt tables, okay?

-Okay.
-I want it to be more gloomy, more...

-Gloomier than this?
-Yes. Gloomier, gloomier.

The handheld...
I want the handheld to be quicker, okay?

And when she turns around,
I want to feel her fear. Okay?

I want the shot to be really close up.
I want goose bumps. Okay? Nothing less.

Um...

Hurry up because we need
to stick to the sh**ting schedule. Okay?

Please, guys.

Could we stay one more hour?

-No problem.
-Could we?

The additional hour
will be at double the rate.

How is the set design going?

But that's not
what we agreed on yesterday.

[giggles] I scared you.
No problem, sweetie.

I already told you.
Dad is happy to have you. So happy!

Thank you.

And? How did I look?

Um, scared. [chuckles]

That's the point, right?

Yes. Uh...

Come here.

Let's see.

It's not exactly the fear I need.

You need to stop faking fear
and start feeling it for real.

Because you're not transmitting
what I'm looking for.

Have you changed your mind?

No. No, no, no, no, no.

Uh, you see,

fear is an intense emotion, right?

It can push us to act,
or it might paralyze us.

Have you ever been paralyzed with fear?

You couldn't speak or your voice cracked?

Okay. Close your eyes.

Close your eyes and relax.
Close your eyes.

Remember that moment.

Try to relive it.

Okay.

What do you see? Hmm?

Why are you afraid?

The theater is full of people.

The music starts, but I can't move.

I can't sing.

I want to leave. I want to run away.

What are you so afraid of?

Why can't you move?

There's a person looking at me.

They won't stop looking at me,
and I can't maintain eye contact.

My body won't...

I can't move. My body...
I start to tremble...

It's my mom.

[clears throat] Okay.

When you doubt yourself...

look at me. Hmm?

Because I believe and trust in you.

Okay?

Mom, do we happen to have a VCR?

Yes.

Cool. Where?

The VCR is somewhere in this house.

[chuckles] I love your system.
Super useful.

Mm. Why do you want a VCR?

Uh, I need it for Félix's short.

I'll look for it later. The only thing is,
I have no idea how to connect it.

Don't worry about it.
I'll ask Félix to help me later.

Mmm-hmm-hmm.

A good excuse to see him again.

Many a love story
was born out of a friendship.

[chuckles] Well, this friendship
came without that seed.

I'm just telling you
in case my opinion matters to you.

Félix is a good guy.

You know who is a good guy? The gardener.

-Don't you like him?
-Allegra.

What I'm trying to tell you is that
you can talk to me about these things.

I'm not going to talk to you
about these things, Mom.

-We're not friends.
-But we could be in the future.

Or in the past.

[door opens, shuts]

[body thuds]

How are you, Allegra?

[sighs] I'm working on my aim.

My flowers would be so grateful.

Is Caterina home?

Caterina can't have friends over.

Why? What happened?

More of the same. Cocó.

If you're thinking of getting in
through the window, forget about it.

I wouldn't recommend
defying my daughter right now.

Could you at least let Caterina know
I came by?

Of course.

And could you let me know next time
you want to go through my things?

Sorry.

I needed to find something to help me
understand how the bracelet works.

And I found this photo
where you are hugging,

uh...

Eusebio.

That sounds interesting.

Who was Eusebio?

Eusebio was the love of my life.

I met him on my first trip to the past.

[Lucía] I saw him
as soon as I arrived in 1869.

I was in awe of this special man.

Our love grew so much
that it made me forget about the bracelet

that had brought me to the past
to resolve the knots of my history.

I thought only of him.

I was convinced
that Eusebio was part of my destiny.

When only one knot remained, I despaired.

I couldn't accept
that we'd never see each other again.

I thought I could defy time
and have Eusebio travel with me.

But no one who is not wearing the bracelet
can cross the time boundary.

I was selfish.

Eusebio died because of me.

Because I tried to defy the bracelet.

I don't want the same thing
to happen to you.

Listen to me, Allegra.

You still have time.

I know it's difficult,
but you have to let Marco go.

[Cocó] Ready!

One, two, three, four, five.

Everyone, let's go! With passion!

-Laura!
-Are you all right?

Yes. Sorry. I got distracted.

That's not your place.

Opening night is just days away.
This can't happen again.

Let's take 20.

Diego, come here. I need to speak to you.

[people chattering]

[doorbell rings]

Hello.

What are you doing here? Hello, Diego.

Can I come in?

Uh, yes.

If you're here looking for Allegra
about the audition,

I already told her clearly
that I wouldn't sign the permission...

Caterina.

Don't insist.
You're not going to convince me.

-Would you let me speak?
-Yes.

I didn't come to talk about Allegra.
I came to see you.

Me?

-How are you?
-Fine.

Ah. I'm getting better.

And now that Cocó left,
I feel much better.

You knew perfectly well
that I had forbidden Caterina

from having a relationship
with someone in the company.

Yes. Yes, that's true. I knew that, but...

But it didn't stop you
from challenging my authority.

I apologize, Cocó. Really.

-I never thought that...
-That's the point. You didn't think.

[sighs]

Your relationship with Caterina
could have grave consequences

for you and your career.

Or it could be a great opportunity.

Well, it's a bit more disorganized,

but it feels the same
as the last time I was here.

So you mean that all the effort I put in
to removing Cocó's presence was in vain?

You're still fighting?

Let's just say that less time with Cocó...

More mental health.

Mmm. Just know that I've spent
the last few days living with her.

I can't guarantee
that you'll leave this house alive.

[chuckles] I see you haven't lost
your sense of humor.

And I gained some wrinkles.

You wear them well.

Are you still writing? Look.

Yes. Less than I would like.

How about you?
Are you still composing music?

Oh. Less than I would like too.

It's hard to find a muse these days.

Don't let Greta hear that.

Greta isn't perfect, but she's also
not the monster we thought she was.

I imagine.

There has to be a reason you married her.

[playing chords]

I don't want to get it wrong
with you again.

You're right.

And you were always right.

And nothing that I say now
will change the past,

but I need to apologize to you.

Attention. Attention.

Opening day is just days away,
and we can't allow ourselves any mistakes.

I need you to be completely connected

with your parts
and your fellow cast members.

It's not the first time
I'm noticing some tension

and awkwardness between the two of you.

-You're distracted.
-Yes, but it wasn't Marco's fault.

I want to see Diego play Adam.
Marco, you'll take Diego's place.

[people murmuring]

Quiet, please.

To your places. Rehearsal has started.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

-Let's go!
-♪ Keep going... ♪

[Félix] All right, guys.
We're done for today. Thank you.

Very good.

You're getting better with every scene.
Have you noticed?

It's all thanks to you.
You make me feel safe.

I hope you still feel that way
when we finish filming.

[chuckles] I think that with time,
we'll understand each other better.

-We're just getting started.
-[chuckles]

Want to go get something to drink?

I'm exhausted. Another day, okay?

Okay. Let's talk later.

-Okay.
-[Félix] Okay, okay. Yes, of course.

Sofi, we're going to get a drink
with the crew. Want to join us?

-Yeah. Okay.
-Yeah? Okay. Let's go.

You were very good, but it's not enough.

Opening day is right around the corner.
Your performances need to be perfect.

Diego, congratulations.

You were much better
than I thought you would be.

You connected with Laura very well.

It's decided. You'll play Adam.

Everyone get some rest.
I'll see you at our next rehearsal.

Marco. I can't believe that Cocó
would do that because of a rehearsal.

-I'm sorry. It was my fault.
-Don't say that.

Cocó is so unfair.

If it weren't for me,
you'd still be playing Adam.

Cocó is famous
for making last-minute changes.

If she changed the part of Ellie,
it makes sense that she would change Adam.

-Don't tell me that. Now I feel worse.
-[chuckles]

I don't care what part I play if,
in real life, I'm with the girl I like.

That's the lead I want.

I see it, but I don't believe it.

Marco Resco is in love.

I was Marco's girlfriend too.

Yeah, I know you were his girlfriend,
but it was different.

He was a different guy.
It wasn't the same.

He was different. You can tell now he's...
he's changed.

-Are you doing this to me on purpose?
-What are you talking about?

You love humiliating me
in front of everyone.

It wasn't enough to steal the part
of Ellie from me?

Greta, I didn't steal anything from you.
I earned the part.

You stole my leading part
and my boyfriend.

Greta, could you calm down?

Thank you, but I can defend myself.

When will you accept that
your relationship with Marco is over?

Our relationship isn't over.
You destroyed it.

You destroyed our relationship,
and you destroyed my career.

And I swear you will regret it.

And you too.

You have no idea what I'm capable of.

I hate this place!

[door slams]

[Caterina's voice] A future together

in a time that is neither yours nor mine.

-Where each of us can be ourselves...
-[door opens]

...without sacrificing anything
for the other.

Hey. Sweetheart.

-Hi.
-So? How did the rehearsal go?

Fine. Fine. Um...

-What?
-Cocó gave me the part of Adam.

-Hey! That's awesome.
-Yes.

Seriously? And Marco?

Apparently, Cocó thinks
that Laura isn't connecting with Marco,

-so she thought maybe I could...
-That's impossible.

Marco and Laura have more chemistry than...

-What?
-What... Than...

[both laughing]

What's up?
The writer has run out of analogies, huh?

So strange.

-I don't know. It's what your mom thinks.
-Mmm.

[chuckles]

I don't know what I'm going to do
when we go on tour.

We'll be apart for months.

We'll write every day.

Plus, I would love to get a postcard
from every city you visit.

I know, but...

-I don't want to lose you.
-You won't lose me.

I'm not looking to replace you.

What if you came on tour with us?

You know what happened today? [chuckles]

Today when I was performing Adam,
I couldn't stop thinking about you.

And how incredible it would've been

if you were Ellie,
and we could perform this play together.

Diego,
you know I have the literary workshop.

I can't go.

I know. I know, but... I don't know.

Maybe you can keep writing and go to
the literary workshop when you get back.

No. I can't.
And what's more, I don't want to.

Think about it for a second.
Just for a second.

Imagine how great it would be for us
to travel together,

and go to all those cities,
all those landscapes.

You and I, huh?

No.

What's wrong?

It can't be. No.

What?

My mom sent you.

Get out.

No. Listen to me. It's not what you...

Get out!

[sighs]

[door opens, shuts]

[Allegra] Do you know
what the worst thing about 1994 is?

The Internet connection?

No.

The worst thing about 1994
is that you're not there, Félix.

I can't imagine a day without you.

I know I screwed everything up,
but I don't want to lose you.

I don't want to lose you either,

but I have to think about myself too,
right?

Yeah, you're right.

I was really selfish.

If there's anything I can do
to help you with your short... anything...

Yes, something not too specific because...

[pop] ...you could disappear at any moment.

You're right.

But I can help you.

I was thinking about trying to find Dante.

What do you think?

-Yes. Yes, that would be amazing.
-Yeah?

Thank you. You're the best.

[both clear throats]

I think Greta had something to do
with what happened on opening night.

Why?

Because she threatened me and Marco.

I still have to talk to her.

Yes, but you don't know
when you'll travel again.

If I can't speak to past Greta,

maybe I can speak to present Greta.

Do you know how to make a website?

[sighs]

Well, the site will have interviews
with those in leading roles

and with the most important figures
in musical theater, like you, obviously.

There will also be information about
upcoming productions and auditions.

How great. Well, musical theater needed
a marketing space like this.

-Congratulations.
-Well, thank you very much.

It is very important for us
to have you on board for the site launch.

[over speaker] So once again, thank you.

I know you're very busy.
Should we get started?

-Yes. Yes, of course.
-Yes? Okay. Good.

I'll start recording. There we go.

Okay. Right now, auditions are being held

for Eleven O'Clock's upcoming production
of Freaky Friday,

the show where you made your name
in musical theater.

Yes, it's very exciting for me

to participate
in a show that made me so happy.

So I am now playing the part of Katherine.

-[chuckles] Yes.
-Cocó also played Ellie and Katherine.

Make her talk about Cocó.

[Félix] Well, like Cocó Sharp,
you played Ellie,

and now you'll play Katherine.

Cocó Sharp was also the founder
and director of the company,

a position you now hold.

Yes, and we have distinct visions
for Eleven O'Clock.

[Félix] What do you mean?
How are you different from Cocó Sharp?

[Greta] I would prefer to speak
about what we have in common

rather than how we differ.

Anyway, we're both
musical theater stars now, right?

[Félix] Totally. Totally.

From what I can see,
you're not going to give up.

Never.

I'm not only offering you
a very good deal financially.

I'm also opening doors for you

at the most important theaters
in the world.

After opening day,

we have a months-long tour
scheduled around all of Europe.

Well, exactly, around Europe.
I'm talking about the whole world.

And when you finish the tour,

you can come back with the company
and settle into my new theater.

The show rights are yours.

It's hard for me to make a decision
like this right now

just before opening day, and...

-I have a relationship with Tomás...
-No, no, no. Yes, yes, of course.

But I think you need to put your emotions
aside and take the leap.

Think about what's best for the show.
Period.

But think about it
and promise you'll call me.

-I promise.
-It doesn't matter what time.

Good night.

Hello. How are you? Doing well?

What was Mike doing here?

Cocó Sharp gave you the part of Ellie
that made you famous.

-Would you say she was your mentor?
-[scoffs]

Cocó didn't give me anything.
I earned that part.

But we can't deny that she played
a fundamental role in your career.

[Allegra] Ask her about the fire.

Especially after the tragic events
that occurred on opening night.

That night changed your life.

It changed everyone's.

And what happened
after the theater was destroyed?

Well, Tomás Diz was not able
to produce the show,

and Mike Conte managed the tour.

Now, what do you think happened
on opening night?

I would prefer not to delve
into that subject.

-I have painful memories of that night.
-What memories?

What memories? Hmm?

Why do you get so nervous
when you talk about that night?

I don't know what you're insinuating,
but I had nothing to do with it.

With what? What happened that night?

No. The interview is over. Please.

-No, get her to talk about Marco.
-I don't believe you.

-What did you do to Marco?
-What? Nothing!

I adored Marco.
It was that girl Laura's fault.

-If she hadn't been there...
-Laura?

-That night Laura was with Marco.
-And what happened?

-And what happened?
-I'm going to ask you to leave.

Don't leave. Get her to talk about Laura.

-What happened with that girl?
-Don't you realize I don't want to talk?

-What happened?
-What happened?

That night, Laura died.
