01x09 - Just One Day

[bunniefuu]

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

When will you accept
your relationship with Marco is over?

PREVIOUSLY

Our relationship isn't over. You destroyed
it. And I swear you will regret it.

And you too.
You have no idea what I'm capable of.

[Cocó] Ahem.

Cocó...

Your relationship with Caterina

could have grave consequences for you
and your career.

Or it could be a great opportunity.

[Diego] What if you came on tour with us?

My mom sent you.

-Listen to me. It's not what you...
-Get out.

[Allegra] Cocó, Greta, Tomás,
Diego, Marco...

They all seem like pieces of the puzzle,

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

It was that girl Laura's fault.

If she hadn't been there...

What happened with that girl?

That night, Laura died.

INTERTWINED

We still don't know what happened
on opening day. I have to save Marco.

Okay. There it is. I think you
have to get your priorities in order, no?

You have to save yourself. Greta said that
you were at the theater on opening night.

No. I wasn't there yet.
Lucía said that time has rules.

[bracelet whirring]

-[metal scraping]
-[clink]

She tried to bring Eusebio
with her to her time, and he died.

Eusebio? Who's that?

The love of Lucía's life.

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

Well, I don't want anything
to happen to you.

I have to take advantage of the last trip.

There's still time to change
what happened.

That night destroyed the theater
and my family.

Were you able to find Dante?

Yes. Yes.
He works at Indiana, the record label.

Dante? Are you sure?

Yes, it's him.

I messaged him at the office.
I messaged him on social media, but...

I doubt he's going to answer you.
He must think you're a crazy stalker.

-[door opens, creaks]
-[footsteps approaching]

Who's a crazy stalker?

-[Félix] The, a...
-[Allegra] Uh, a...

-A character in my short.
-Yes.

-You found it. Thank you.
-Yes.

Yes, the only thing is
I don't know if these are the cables...

I'll take care of it later.
Thank you. That's fine.

Hmm.

Mmm.

Ma, your food is burning, no?

-Yes. My food is burning.
-[Allegra] Yeah.

-See you later.
-See you later.

[footsteps departing]

-What if we go to the theater tomorrow?
-No. I can't. I have to rehearse.

But it's at night.
We'll rehearse together tomorrow.

I don't want to rehearse for the audition.
I want to prepare for the short.

All right. Enough excuses.

Yesterday you couldn't because
you were tired. Today you can't either.

That's right.
I was exhausted after recording all day.

But you went out with my brother.

I didn't go out with your brother.
I went out with the team.

There was a really great vibe
while we were filming.

I don't understand why
you're giving so much importance

to a student short no one is going to see.

Allegra isn't in your way. Your spot
at Eleven O'Clock is a sure thing.

You should put your energy
into the company.

It doesn't make sense
to waste energy on the play.

I'm never going to be able to be
the actress my mom expects me to be.

Because she wants me to be
just like her, and that's impossible.

I think it's best to make my own way.

In a short by a high school newbie?

[cell phone beeps]

-[typing]
-[Félix sighs]

It's Sofía. She has some suggestions
to change the short's script.

-[scoffs] She's a playwright now too?
-[Félix sighs]

I don't know. She says she doesn't agree
that her character should die

and that it would be good
if she came back to life.

I don't understand.
She wants to be a zombie?

I don't know. She hasn't
fully explained the idea to me.

-No, but I can't believe you.
-[beeps]

Who does she think she is to have
an opinion and destroy your script?

[chuckles] She's the lead in my short.

[Félix sighs]

That doesn't give her the right
to question your story.

It doesn't hurt to hear her ideas, eh?

And at least she, I don't know, doesn't
abandon me with my projects, right?

Ay, please. Stop torturing me.

I know I'm the worst friend in the world.

Yes. Yes, you are.

And you know what else you are?
A very good actress.

Even when you're not acting, I would say.

You may not be the lead
in my horror short,

but you are the lead in my mockumentary.

Mocku... what?

It's like a fake documentary.

It's going to be about a movie director
who wants to film his movie,

but his lead never arrives on time.

Sound familiar?

No? [chuckles] Look.

[Allegra]
♪ I can't promise you ♪

[Félix on phone] I wrote my film
with her in mind as the lead.

She was perfect, except for one thing.
Her head was in another time.

Sorry, Félix. I'm super late.

Everything was dirty, broken, old.

[Félix] Even when she was with me,
she was always escaping into the past.

[wind blowing]

Can you send that to me?
I want to have it.

I'll send it to you later.

I promise that we'll film together soon.

Did you feel that?

It was like déjà vu, no?

Like we already lived through this before,
like, you repeated it.

I get it now.

I was so concentrated on the past that...

I ended up neglecting
the most important thing.

My short?

You.

[cell phone beeps]

More messages from your new actress?

I hope it's worth it
that you're putting up with her.

And how's it going with that? Mmm?

The last audition for Freaky Friday
is in a few days, no?

Yes, but it's a done deal.

Mom isn't going to let me audition,

so I'm going to focus 100%
on the opening day in '94.

Morning Edition - STOCK MARKET
CONTINUES TO RISE SHARPLY

Good morning. You wanted to talk to me?

Yes. I've been thinking a lot,

and I have something important
to tell you.

I knew it.

You needed a little time away

-from everyone to help you reflect.
-Mom...

Fortunately, you can rejoin the play
before opening day.

-I'm going to tell Tomás the good news.
-[phone dialing]

Why don't you tell him
you met with Mike instead?

Why do you say that?
Mike and I are old friends.

Yes, that's true.

Also, he's one of the biggest producers
in the country.

Much bigger than Tomás.

What are you getting at?

If you don't let me go out,

I'm going to tell Tomás
that you met with Mike.

Oh, yeah? You're going to tell him?

Because you have no idea
what I talked to him about.

Do you want to tell me? I'm listening.

Don't provoke me, Caterina.

I'm not provoking you. We're negotiating.

You're extorting me.

Call it what you want,
but you're going to have to let me go out.

And you're going to talk to Miriam too.
Because I'm not going back to the arcade.

[bites toast]

Magic Ink

-Bye now. Have a good one.
-Thank you. Bye.

-[footsteps departing]
-[door opens]

[door closes]

I was just passing by,
and I remembered I needed a book.

What a coincidence.

[chuckles] Life is an endless series
of coincidences, dear.

The truth is
I don't want to stay away from you two.

After having the three of us
all together in this house,

I just can't leave.

I prefer to see you two from afar
than to never see you again.

If you could talk to my mom...

Try to fix things.

I tried, but your mom
doesn't want to listen to me.

If I could go back in time...

there are so many things
I would do differently.

Do you mean because of
the opening of Freaky Friday in '94?

Why do you ask that?

I don't know.

Mom said she lost everything that night.

She lost you.

That was the best
and the worst night of my life.

The saddest night of all.

Caterina was never able to understand me.

[scoffs]
And were you able to understand her?

What happened can't be changed.

But I would like to think

that there's still time
to change other things.

You told me you came for a book, no?

-[drawer opens, closes]
-[rummages]

If you want to fix things with my mom,

maybe you could start here.

-Bye.
-Bye, professor.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

-Oliverio.
-Yes.

Bye.

Do you think I'll be able to publish
my novel when I finish writing it?

-[door closes]
-Why are you worried about that right now?

Well, I don't know.
Isn't that what we all want?

Don't we write
so others will read what we wrote?

Writing is one thing,

and being a professional writer
is something else entirely.

We are not writers only
when our books are on the bookshelves.

There are great writers
that have never published a single book

because they consider the act of writing
to be extremely intimate.

And I share that idea somewhat.

You still have time.

Think hard about what kind of life
you want to live

before publishing your first book.

You can be a great writer
with just a piece of paper...

and a pen.

For me?

So you don't forget your path.

You have to do something
to change that unbearable mood you're in.

I lost the part of Ellie.
How else am I going to be?

Do you want us to go to Laura's house
and yell things at her so she can't sleep?

Or play music really loud?
Or we can egg her house.

Well, at least you laughed.

I can go to Tomás' office
and get her information

to find out her address.

Because we don't know where Laura lives.

We don't know anything about Laura.
[chuckles]

Of course. We don't know where she lives...

We don't know anything about Laura.

You're a genius, Bárbara.

[Sofía panting]

[creature growls]

[Félix] Cut.

Done.

Let's see.

[chattering]

Good. Excellent. Excellent.

-Sofi, that was great.
-And how was I? Good, no?

You have room for improvement.

Allegra, you came. We just finished.

Yes. We were just leaving, right?

Too bad you didn't get here in time.
Félix is a great director.

Don't exaggerate.

-Time will tell, no?
-Don't be modest. You're really good.

Yes, I know.
I know Félix better than you do.

Not as a director.
Or has he ever directed you?

What is it?
Were you scared you would ruin the short?

Why don't you take your venom
somewhere else?

I didn't say anything bad.

If it bothers you so much,
there must be some truth to it.

Let's make one thing clear.

I was going to be the original lead
in Félix's short.

If you're taking my place now,
it's because...

A matter of time.

You may not be a good actress,
but you're great at making up excuses.

Do you really think you're better than me?

I know I am.

Prove it.

Marco, listen to me.
Please, let me explain. One second.

[sighs]

I never wanted to take your part.
It was Cocó's decision.

Enough.
I don't want to talk about Adam anymore.

-Don't you get it?
-And the band?

They're waiting for us to record a demo.

Marco,
this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

-This is our dream.
-Hey.

Listen. There you two are.

The producer just called me.

He said they got tired of waiting,
and they called another band.

I got tired of waiting too.

What? What? What are you saying?

That Serotonin is over.

I'm leaving the band.

-Should we start?
-No.

First, I want to propose something.

Here comes another great idea
from the director.

Tell us.

I was thinking it might be
more interesting if we made a bet.

If Allegra wins,

you are going to convince your mom
to let her audition.

No. I don't know.
That has nothing to do with it.

What's wrong? Are you afraid you'll lose?

Not at all. And if I win?

I will rewrite the script of my short
to incorporate your ideas.

-Félix.
-All of them?

All of them. I give you my word.

Okay. All right, I agree.
I'm going to change.

How could you bet your future?
You can't let Sofía ruin your short.

And you can't achieve your dream
in the past.

You have to do it in the present.
And for that, you have to beat Sofía.

This is a street dance battle, Félix.
Not a professional audition.

The winner won't be the best.
It'll be who gets the most votes.

I know.

They're going to vote on a story posted
on Sofía's account. I have no chance.

You're risking it all with this.

I'm risking it all for you.

@Feli.23_
Greetings from Uruguay!!

-[gasps]
-[crowd] Ooh.

-[applause]
-[crowd cheers]

[typing on cell phones]

All right guys, what happened?

[typing continues]

Guys.

By Odin's beard, guys. Say something.
What happened?

Odin?

Yes, Odin. Odin... Thor's father.
Don't you know?

-No.
-You're not normal.

Did we win or not?

[beeps]

Yes, we won? We won.

-Congratulations.
-Ah, yes.

I can't believe it.

You were much better than Allegra.
You were perfect.

It looks like your followers don't care
about perfection, eh?

They prefer to have fun.

Let's go, Alan.

Hey. Where are you going?

Do you want us to stay
and celebrate with you two?

No. I want you
to fulfill your part of the bet.

Did you think I was for real?

Are you really such a sore loser?

Stop, Félix. It's not worth arguing
with someone that has no moral code.

No. No, stop. I'm not leaving
until Sofía keeps her word.

Are you that scared of Allegra?

Come on, Félix.
This was just a game. It wasn't for real.

A game.

I know.

And what if we play
that I leave you out of my short?

You're going to leave me out of your short
because of a stupid bet?

Because of a stupid challenge?

I can't direct someone I don't trust.

You can't say that to me
after everything we talked about.

So show me that I can trust you. Simple.

You won.

-I believe in you. Let's see.
-[beeps]

[horns honking]

-I need to talk to you.
-Yes. I know.

I saw the live of the challenge
with Allegra.

I shouldn't have agreed to it.
It was a mistake.

It wasn't a mistake.
Don't play the martyr.

Next time,
make sure it's not being recorded

if you're going to compete against someone
more prepared than you. That's all.

I'm much better than Allegra.

You don't have to make excuses
with me, honey.

Next time will be different.

You plan to challenge Allegra again?

No. I have another idea.

Let Allegra audition tomorrow
at the final audition.

And why would I do that?

So I can destroy her on stage
in front of everyone.

All right.

Sometimes we need a little competition
to bring out the best in us.

Let's go.

[Tomás] Look, Greta.
Opening day is in a few hours.

I understand that you're upset.

You were the cover.

You are the one
that deserved to play the part of Ellie,

but I can't do anything about it.

This is just another one of Cocó's whims.
Understand?

No, it's not that.

On the contrary,

I think the audition was fair
and that the best actress got the part.

I don't understand.
What do you want to talk about?

I wanted to apologize to her.

If we're going to go on tour,
we need to get along.

That is a very mature attitude
on your part. Very good.

Congratulations. That's great.

Yes, but it's a little hard for me
to say it to her in person.

Uh-huh.

I thought
it would be best to send a letter.

-Yes.
-But I don't have her address.

And none of the others do either.

I understand, Greta. I understand.

Let's see. Let's see.

[drawer opens, closes]

Laura. Let's find her.

Her information isn't here.
That's strange.

Maybe the information is
on the parental permission slip?

The permission slip...

From the office to university
and from university to home.

No distractions along the way. All right?

Thank you for giving me so much freedom.

Don't be dramatic, Marco.
I worked and studied at your age too.

You chose to study economics, while I...

You are going to have a great career.
You're about to enter the best university.

Will you let me talk, Dad?

I'm late to a meeting, Marco.

We'll talk tonight.

I can't tonight.

And why not? What do you have to do?
Let's hear it.

Tonight I have to...

What? Spit it out.
I'm late. Marco, come on.

I have to study for an accounting exam.

I'm going to the university library
with some classmates.

Didn't you take accounting recently?

Yes.

But this is another unit.

Good. I'm glad you all are so advanced.

All right, I'll see you later.
Go ahead. Bye.

Go on, go on, go on. I'm late, Marco.

Straight home, eh?

No distractions, eh?

I'm a terrible strategist.

If my life were a movie, I think it
would be in the catastrophe genre.

Can you stop feeling sorry for yourself?

It's over. You tried,
and I really appreciate it,

but it was obvious
that it wasn't going to work.

Why do you say that?

It's going to sound ridiculous,

but I can't stop thinking
that my life in '94 is much better.

No.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you so mad?

I told you not to risk your short.

You're incredible, you know that?

I don't understand.

What don't you understand?
What don't you understand?

This has nothing to do
with the short, Allegra.

This has to do with us.
With you, and with me.

You know what?

It terrifies me to think that you could
travel to the past and not come back.

-That's what's wrong.
-That's not going to happen.

How do you know?
And what if what Greta said is true?

What if you end up trapped in the fire?

What if we never see each other again?
Then what?

Everything is going to be okay.

-You have to trust the bracelet.
-Well, I can't.

I can't.

I... I was thinking and...

The thing is that... I love you.

What?

That's it. I love you.
I love you. I love...

I love how obsessive you are
about organization.

I love when you go on and on about
your dreams and you don't let me talk.

I love that you are the last person
I want to talk to before I go to sleep.

I love this,

the wrinkle on your forehead
when you look at me like I'm crazy.

What?

It's from a movie. It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter
because I'm not Billy Crystal,

you're not Meg Ryan,
this is not a movie and...

Fiction never becomes reality.

But I can't get around it.

I love you. I love you, Allegra.
I love you.

[bracelet whirring]

[metal scraping]

-[rumbling]
-[electric spark]

[footsteps approaching]

Marco.

What are you doing dressed like that?

No, the thing is
I got called for a casting

for an insurance company and...

No.

I can't. I can't keep lying,
especially not to you.

What are you talking about?

I work part-time
at my dad's finance agency.

And I should be taking
the admission course

for the Department of Economics,
but I quit on the first day.

Because I hate economics.
I hate university. I hate these suits.

-Marco. Marco.
-And my dad thinks I'm still going.

Why don't you tell him the truth?

I'm scared.

I've never gotten up
the courage to face him.

He doesn't even know
I'm a part of Eleven O'Clock.

I'm sorry for lying to you.

I'm not the free and independent guy
you think I am.

Well, that's good. You were so perfect
I was starting to get bored.

My mom doesn't really support me
with the Eleven O'Clock thing, either.

She doesn't even know I'm in the company.

And every time I try to talk to her
about it, she won't even listen to me.

How are you supposed to talk to someone
who refuses to listen?

Talk louder?

If you have to yell, yell.

Your dad has to understand you.

And if he doesn't, it's his loss.

It's your life.

[cell phone vibrates, beeps]

-Hello?
-[Dante] Hello? Félix?

-Dante!
-How are you? Is everything okay?

Yes. Thank you. Thank you for calling.

Of course.

And? Did you finish your song?

Voilà, which in French means
that this is the final version of my song.

All that in just one word.

The thing is the French are
a little more concise.

Of course.

I left the band.

And this is a new start
for me as a musician.

And that's all thanks to you.

What's wrong? Was it something I said?

No. I'm just a little nervous
for opening day.

Let's go. I want to show you my song.

-Of course.
-No. This way is faster. Come on.

Open it.

My secret.

CONTROL ROOM

These are all the messages from people

that called to congratulate you
and wish you luck.

[Cocó] Okay.

Mrs. Sharp, let me know when you're ready.
I'm here to dress you.

[Cocó] Give me 15 minutes.

Okay, look up, ma'am.

-For what?
-To put on your blush.

Give it to me. I'll do it.

-Okay. Are you going to want lip liner?
-[cell phone rings]

No, I'm going to brush my eyebrows.

All right.

Leave me, please.
I need to be alone for this conversation.

Okay.

-Hello.
-Cocó dear, how are you?

Quite busy.

Well, I imagine.
I just wanted to wish you a lot of merde.

And just know that this is going
to be an unprecedented success.

I can feel it.

And... if you change your mind, let me know.

I don't feel right betraying Tomás.

This is not personal.
This is show business.

Tomás will understand perfectly.

I don't think so.

Let's see. Eleven O'Clock is your company.

You founded it.

Yes, but Tomás funded the play.

Cocó, Tomás is going to get everything
we collect in the first shows we do here.

Anyway, you two didn't sign
a tour contract, did you?

Let me think about it a little more.

Okay, no problem, but don't take too long
because the clock is ticking.

Okay. Talk to you later.

[cell phone closes]

Tomás. Excuse me, were you looking for me?

Yes, Laura. Come in, please.

Let's see. I need your parents
to sign the permission slip.

Yes. Yes. I forgot. I'll bring it later.

No, no, no. It can't be later.
It has to be now.

Without this permission slip,
I can't let you go on stage.

What's more,
I don't understand how we didn't check

that we had all your paperwork.

Don't worry. Your parents can come
to the office before opening day.

The important thing is that they sign it.

-Please, I'm begging you, eh?
-Yes, my parents...

Laura, what are you doing here?
You should be getting ready.

Let's see, Cocó. We have a small problem.

Laura didn't bring the permission slip
signed by her parents.

We don't need it.

No, no. It's the same situation as Marco.

They're both emancipated.
Don't worry. I have all the documentation.

Either way, I would like, or rather,
I would need a copy of those documents.

Is that possible?

For what, Tomás? Don't you trust me?

You know very well
that I don't like loose ends.

Haven't we talked about this?

Everything is under control.

Come on, Tomás. Relax. Don't worry.
Go and enjoy the show.

It's impossible to relax and enjoy

when you change the lead on me
a few days before opening day.

I mean, it seems to me. Or am I wrong?

I'm sorry, but the press is waiting.

-I have to go talk to them.
-Enjoy, Tomás.

Merde.

[Bárbara vocalizing]

[chattering]

[vocalizing continues]

[Cocó] Everyone ready?
Ten minutes to curtain.

I have a good feeling.

This is going to be
a once-in-a-lifetime night.

My dear daughter. Let's do it, eh?
You're going to be great.

Were you able to talk to Laura?

Don't worry. It's all resolved.
Cocó cleared everything up.

What... What did she clear up?

That Laura is emancipated and that
she has all the necessary documentation.

So, crisis averted.

[chattering continues]

Bad luck, sweetie.

But look on the bright side.

You get to play the villain.

That means that now you can be Laura's
enemy in the play and in real life.

Isn't that funny?

No, it's not funny.

I'm not going to allow
some ridiculous rules

to stop me from having someone
as talented as you in my company

and in my play.

We haven't known each other long, Laura.

But I feel like there is
a strong connection between us.

I don't know how to explain it.

I would have liked to have had
a daughter like you.

I think you're being a little unfair
to Caterina.

After what she did to me.

I'm sure that if you talk to her,
you two can resolve your problems.

We're all scared before an opening show.

Or are you going to tell me
you're not scared?

But we get over it.

We don't hide behind our excuses
like Caterina did.

I can forgive anything, but not cowardice.

That's not how I raised her.

You're angry now,

but you'll change your mind in the future,
and it might be too late.

This is between me and my daughter.

Right now,
we have to focus on the opening show.

After tonight,
your life is going to change forever.

Today is the grand opening
of Freaky Friday.

Seats sold out in two hours. The same day...

The audience can't wait to see this show.

Kids, kids.
What are your hopes for tonight?

Honestly very excited, with high hopes
as the show is about to start.

And after the show, Cocó Sharp.

[chattering]

[Tomás] All right, kids.
All together, smile, please.

Say "Freaky."

-Freaky!
-[cameras flashing]

-There we go.
-Bravo.

-Very good.
-Have fun.

-Give it your all.
-Go out there and shine. Let's go.

Marco.

Promise me that whatever happens,
you'll go home as soon as the show ends.

But I thought we were going
to hang out afterwards.

You have to trust me.

Go home and we'll meet up there later.
Okay?

Okay. I promise.

[chattering]

Hey.

Hey, I'm so glad you came.

No way was I going to miss your debut.

What's wrong? You're the lead.
I thought you would be ecstatic.

I'm sad that
you're fighting with your mom.

It's good to be good, but not that good.

My mom is a horrible person.

And she still thinks I'm a coward.

The truth is she never tried
to understand me.

Talk to her about it. Explain it to her.

I tried, but she didn't want to listen.

And if she doesn't want to understand,
then great.

We'll just be mad at each other forever.

Sometimes the body says
what words can't express.

That's what Cocó always says.

"If you could say how you feel,
you wouldn't have to dance it."

[shushes]

[applause, cheering]

[Dante] Diego never told me.

But he was never the same
after that night.

Is there anything else
you can tell me about that night?

I'm sorry. That's all I know.

If you need more information,
I would try Marco's father.

Marco's father?

Yes, he's the only one
I'm still in touch with.

We usually talk on Marco's birthday.
I can give you his phone number.

No way.

[Tomás] Is the projector ready?

-[girl continues, indistinct]
-[chattering continues]

[female PA] We're ready with Cocó
in five, four, three, two, one.

-[applause]
-Hello, everyone!

[crowd cheering]

This is my mother.

Yes, even though you might not believe it,
this is my mom.

No?

[cell phone vibrates, beeps]

It worked.

I changed the past.
