[Margarita screams] Margarita. [chuckles]

-♪ I live in the present and laugh a ton ♪

♪ I feel the drum of my heartbeat ♪

Who's interested
in traveling around the world?

[Pipe] You don't get it
because you never did it,

but when you're everyone's favorite,
they love everything you do.

I feel sorry for you.

Margarita left you for Merlin,
you have zero dignity.

I lost my dignity when I pretended
to be your boyfriend.

At least your optics were better.
You're a joke.

[Margarita singing] ♪ Oh, la, la ♪

-♪ Oh, la, la, how I want to laugh… ♪
-[cellphone chiming]

Don't you think that's a bit much?

Don't worry, Severino, it's all rehearsed.

How so? Margarita is live.

-What?
-Right now.

Mar! Wait, Mar!

Give me my phone, that's an order!

Mar! You're not thinking. Think!

I want to end this lie.

Therefore...

as the true princess,
I order you to give back my phone!

You're genius, Margo!
Want me to read some comments?

"Queen and princess, together again.
Wow, they're goddesses!"

"It's lovely to see you
back together, Delfina and Mar."

[gasps] How cute!
You're attached to the hip!

Thank you!

No! What flikiti? I'd love to!

Of course I can!

What?

You have wonderful ideas, Delf!

How is she responding,
if Delfina didn't ask anything?

Don't make me prince-plain!

-[screams]
-Mar! Mar! Mar!

Delfina thinks you and Fach are dead!

It's better like this,
until we have a plan!

I'll leave that decision up to...

Wait, we have a connection problem.

And you guys, stay tuned.

This was recorded and Delfina fumbled it.

Well then record everything,
not just Mar's bit.

-Yeah.
-She gets weird, it feels forced.

Doesn't she notice?
Does she think people won't notice?

She doesn't have my spark in her eyes.
She doesn't have my magic.

My... mojo. Huh?

Look, Mar.

No one would dupe me
with these fake tech tricks.

Hmm.

Yeah, because you see everything...

You know everything,
you know me like no one else.

[screams] That's a big fat lie!

It's fiction!

FICTION

[indistinct radio chatter]

Why didn't he run with them?

-It's weird. Why does he want to see us?
-Maika, Rayan can be trusted.

-Do we suspect them all?
-Yes. But we must also know who to trust.

[chuckles] Full team, Maika,
who doesn't trust her own shadow.

Myself, who trusts blindly,
and Fach, the in-between.

-The League of Princes!
-[shushes]

Right. The League of The Three Princes!

[Rayan] I swear I didn't steal!

I didn't help anyone escape the regime.
I swear I didn't kidnap prince Ali.

-Rayan, why didn't you go with them?
-I needed to distract the soldiers.

But don't worry,
they must've crossed the border by now.

[exhales] Great.

We have the information we needed.
It's time to go.

[indistinct chatter over radio]

Give me the phone, take a pic.
Look how good I look!

-What did she say?
-She sicced the army on us.

We have to ditch the car,
take off the uniform and flee the country.

It's your lucky day.
That's what I do best.

How'd they stream if we have her phone?

Anyone with her password has access.

What if it was her?

We saw her get thrown
out of the boat, Delfina!

No. You saw it. I didn't.
I don't know anything.

We don't even know how
or why Fach was on that boat.

-Check her pulse.
-Don't be stupid.

It's not stupid! Check it!

What if it's AI?
That hacker person could be helping.

If it'll calm your nerves,
I'll have the sailors check.

More likely it was someone
with access to her account.

But who?

-Who?
-Who?

-Pipe?
-Pipe?

-Pipe, obviously.
-Pipe.

-Bring him! Not you, idiot.
-Right.

You.

I've been looking at the tests
for your new selection, and...

-See?
-[Ada] What?

She's exaggerating. She's tense.

She must be tired.

I know squat about technology,
let alone cellphones.

I'm a governess,
specialized in pancakes and protocol.

I could give you a class on good manners.

You, Pipe, come with me.

-Me?
-[Yamila] Now. Come with me.

[perky music playing]

[music concludes]

[Otto] Hello, who's this?

-Hey, man. Are you all good?
-[Otto] Yeah.

-We are. What about you?
-[Rey] I wanted to talk to you guys.

Put me on speaker.

-You are.
-Hey, what's up?

Hey, buddy.

Do you miss us?

He doesn't miss us.
He's happy at Delfina's palace.

I know it seems
like I abandoned you, but...

You did, though.

I couldn't let this chance go, Otto.

I sacrificed a lot to be here,
but I've realized it's not for me.

-So, what now?
-[Rey] I want out.

But I can't give up out of the blue.

I'm stuck with Delfina
over image rights, and,

if I don't work with her,
I'll work with no one.

Ah! [chuckles] Now I see what you called!

You know my dad is a famous lawyer

and you want my help
to get out, clever boy?

[Rey] Not to be fair-weathered, but yes.
That would help a lot.

My idea, if I can free myself,
is to go to your channel.

It looks like you guys really need me.

-Your views are low.
-Stop right there, Rey.

You think we'll accept you
after your betrayal?

But this is a democracy!

Rey, we've heard you.
We'll think and vote on it.

Thanks, guys. Bye.
What? What's wrong?

I know Rey has a dark past, okay?
And he's suspicious...

But I also think Delfina is capable
of all that stuff.

What if Margarita is also
bound by contract?

That's why she's weird.

She doesn't want to do it,
she's being forced!

-That's it! She's being forced!
-Yes!

Wait. We must do something.
We can't let her be a puppet forever!

-Yeah!
-Right!

Nice, Sasha! That's what we'll do.

We'll save her.

That rat really never changes, Delf!

I found him in the kitchen,
eating your food.

-Here!
-You're the rat, Yamila!

Let him eat what he wants to.
Eat this, please. Sit down.

Tell me everything. Okay?
Are you settling in? Tell me.

-I still get lost in the hallways.
-Great. Do you have your phone?

-What?
-A cellphone?

Give her the phone. Come on.

The phone. Thank you.

-Thank you.
-[Pipe] What is this?

A request from juvie,
I've got nothing to do with it.

Tell me something...

Have you talked to Margarita recently?

-No, she won't respond. It's weird.
-How odd.

-Do you know who runs her socials?
-She does. Why?

YOSER'S HOUSE

Ali, what's wrong? You've eaten nothing.

-I'm not hungry.
-Nah.

Did you just say you're not hungry?

I swear to God... [chuckles]

What's wrong?

Do you miss Mom?

-A bit.
-[gentle music playing]

It's okay.

Merlin? Come here.

[sniffles]

Daisy made a speech
that went around the whole world.

So I summon Erasmus Pietro
for a discussion

to reach a peaceful solution

and to respect the legitimate legacy
of the Cornwall de La Hoya...

-Amazing.
-...my family.

The same way...

-She's better at this than we are.
-[both chuckle]

She's correct and elegant.
The right words, straight to the point.

I hope your uncle's listening.

Breaks my heart seeing him like this.

He misses his mom, call her.
What could happen?

[music concludes]

Messages, their dates and times,

the recipients and accounts
that accessed them.

And whether or not they logged
into Margarita's Instagram.

He used his account,
he didn't go into Margarita's profile.

I told you, I don't know about Mar.
You know more than me.

-Me? Why would I?
-[Pipe] Yeah.

-We all know you talk to her a lot.
-That's why.

-In that sense, yes.
-Nothing, see?

-[Delfina] What? No.
-[Yamila] Nothing from him.

-No.
-It wasn't him.

-Can I have my phone?
-[Delfina] Later.

I know you don't want
to go back to juvie,

so tell me.

If there's anything I should know,
now's the time.

-Pipe? Why's he here?
-[Pipe] They're interrogating me.

-I'm a thief and a hacker now.
-Aunt, please. Leave him alone.

-Why must you control everything?
-Honey, I'm protecting you!

-Protect me?
-Yes.

So you force Rey and Única
to pretend they're dating?

You search for my brothers in secret?

I'm sick of it!
I wanted to do something nice for you.

It's nice to protect your loved ones.
You always interpret me poorly.

-No, but...
-I'm hurt! Leave!

[cries] How annoying!

She gave one interview
and thinks she's a queen?

That clueless brat!

Can you explain to me
how you did that stream?

It wasn't Pipe. You'd have to know
where the account was accessed.

-And how are the tests?
-[exclaims] Excellent!

A ton of videos, you have no idea!

-Someone who's worth it? Yeah.
-There is.

Yes, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yes. Yeah.

[groans] That fool! Good God!

[Elke] Merlin, baby, how are you guys?

Well. We're out of Krikoragán.

I'll let you know once we're safe,
and then you come.

[sobs] And how's Ali?

He's okay. Misses you.

He wants to talk. Hang on.

-[Ali] Mom?
-[cries] Hey, baby!

How are you? Listen to your brother, okay?

It'll be all right. Just listen to him.
Of course we'll meet again!

-Of course we will, honey! Yes!
-[ominous music playing]

Hello.

I've just put out an international
arrest warrant for you.

Leave us alone!

You won't go far.
Even if you hide, we'll find you.

[music concludes]

I swear, they were just short
of putting a knife to my throat!

Don't exaggerate, Pipe.
My aunt's no mafiosa.

What? She is suspicious, sure,
but she gave you another chance.

No. She is a mafiosa,
because I never stole, Daisy.

-How can I make you believe me?
-Don't get upset.

-I believe you.
-It doesn't feel like it.

You forget everything I tell you.

-No, I don't.
-No?

Then why didn't you answer me yet?

You owe me. Now you can't escape.

I owe you nothing, Pipe.

My heart! How painful! [chuckles]

Pipe...

[gentle music playing]

You're adorable.

Any girl would find you the perfect guy.

-But...
-[Daisy] No, no "but."

-I'm thinking of Krikoragán today.
-[snickers]

You and your princess problems.
Me and my rat problems.

No, don't say that.

I'm just aloof today.

But you helped me a lot.
I like you a lot, and you know.

We can be friends.

-[sighs]
-[music concludes]

Invite your friends,
your family and sweethearts.

And remember, #FreeMargarita!
She decides where she'll stay.

-Nice, Sasha! Awesome!
-Nice one.

The ball is rolling, folks!

More than ten people
posted #FreeMargarita. Nice one.

We don't need Rey, we're k*lling it.

No! We must leave the queen
without an army.

Rey is one of her w*r horses.

What if, instead of a w*r horse,
it's a Trojan Horse

and Delfina is sending it
to destroy us from within?

That could be!

I love Rey and all,

but I wouldn't stick
my neck out for him at all!

No. Destroy what?

We have five followers,

two of them are Sasha's exes
and watch to laugh at him.

-They can't forget me.
-Rey is one of us, but fine.

Let's vote. I vote yes.
What about you, honey?

[upbeat music playing]

-I vote yes.
-Nice.

I vote no. Sasha?

-Shouldn't it be a secret vote?
-[all] No!

-You vote no?
-You vote yes, right?

-I vote yes.
-Three in favor, we win.

Just don't come crying to me.

-Well, let's save Margarita!
-Right. Shall we?

-[music concludes]
-So? Nothing yet?

[sighs] It was a lie!
The anxiety is k*lling me.

Ah!

[comical music playing]

Did you think I had all day, hmm?

Are you okay? Did you eat?

We're fine, don't worry.

We're finishing our mission.

Did you find Andrés?

Not yet, but we have a clue.
I'll tell you soon. First, a surprise.

Did you miss me?

-[both squealing]
-Rayo!

-How'd you get away?
-[Rayan] I have my ways.

But, if we stick around,
my magic will run out.

-They're after us.
-Yeah.

We were studying options.

One is to cross by land,
through the north.

It would be safer, but would take days.

Or, my favorite...

Stealing a plane and flying away.

-It's quicker, but...
-Quick and dangerous.

Heck no, scratch that plane idea.

As if by land were totally safe...

It's best to take a risk and pray.

Right, Mach?

[snickers]

[Sasha] No one showed up.

What?

Don't you love our heroine? Our reference?

Won't you come fight for her freedom?

[Ada] Do you want pancakes?

-[Pipe] Ada.
-[Ada] What?

I want decorum lessons.

-What?
-Didn't you say you taught?

-Yeah.
-Now I see what you meant.

If I want to stand a chance with Daisy,
I have to learn how to be a gentleman.

I have to learn how to eat
without getting sauce everywhere.

-I want to be worthy of a princess.
-Great!

Let's begin with the art of conversation.

In every social gathering,

it's important to learn how to converse.

-Right?
-Yes.

[Ada whispering] But listen!

[in normal voice] There are topics

that you should never
discuss with anyone.

Forbidden topics.

A gesture

is worth more than a thousand words.

[Sasha] Wait! I think I heard something!

[crowd chanting] Margarita!

Margarita! Margarita!
Margarita! Margarita!

Margarita! Margarita!
Margarita! Margarita!

You have no idea
how many ideas I've got for our series!

-Plan and counter-plan!
-Can someone explain this nonsense?

...and support our cause!

We just want Delfina to free Margarita,
because we know...

They're accusing me
of kidnapping Margarita, and you're aloof!

It's barely even 200 people, Delf.
A mosquito is noisier than that. [laughs]

Don't make me explain

that if you don't nip it
in the bud, it goes viral.

She is not being held c*ptive.

But if she could choose where to be,
it would be with us!

-[crowd] Yes!
-[Otto] Of course!

They think Delfina's forcing you
to be on her channel.

-Are you ready?

DELFINA, RELEASE MARGARITA

Please, let me tell them I'm safe

-and that that's not me.
-Mar, no.

Not until we're there.

Fine.

[peppy music playing]

[cellphone buzzing]

-[Rayan] Mar, did something happen?
-[Margarita] Abort the plan.

-I have a flikiti chilling my heart.
-It's decided.

[Margarita] Why do it the dangerous way
if we can do it the safe way?

[Rayan sighing] Mar, please trust me.

I do, but I'm scared.

-Can I talk to Fach?
-[Rayan] Okay.

You won't convince him,
he's more stubborn than you.

-Fach.
-One second.

Do you know a Blue Minaj?

-[boy] General Minaj's daughter?
-[Federico] Yeah.

-I heard they're back in Krikoragán.
-I know little, but I could investigate.

I'd be very grateful. Thanks, Rayan.

If you're calling to tell me
the plan is too risky,

then just don't.

No, I know
you're as hard-headed as I am.

Who is this...

Blue you're talking about?

Blue is a really special person.
She's very brave.

[speaks in Krikon]

[speaks in Krikon]

[Federico, in Spanish] Her father
was ambassador to Pio Pietro.

But when she found out
the truth about Krikoragán,

she joined the League.

[both speak in Krikon]

[Federico] It wasn't easy.

At first, no one trusted her.

She always needed
to evade her family's eyes.

But she proved her commitment.

[pensive music playing]

Your feet, Blue. Focus.

She betrayed her own family
to participate in the operations.

[Margarita] Operations?
What do you guys do?

At the time,
we were stealing a duke's painting.

You're thieves?

We steal from the thieves.
Those paintings were our grandfather's.

-Ah. Fine. Go on.
-[music concludes]

[gentle music playing]

Whoa.

-Watch that defense, Federico.
-[Federico] What?

Has the student surpassed the teacher?

[Margarita] She went through your armor
and thawed you.

-[Federico] What?
-[Margarita] She melted you.

You're kind of a freezer,
with cool emotions. [chuckles]

I can see Blue heated you up
with her blue flames.

Yeah.

-Until...
-No!

Why is there always an "until?"

Fine. You two,
get the paintings in the library.

Blue and I get the ones
in the living room.

No.

We'll waste time.
I'll get the living room.

You get the library and the hallway.

They're more valuable.

I know the place, relax!

[suspenseful music playing]

-[music concludes]
-[alarm blaring]

-What...
-I don't know!

-Blue?
-Wake up! She betrayed us!

-We can't leave her!
-Come on, Federico!

-[Federico] Blue!
-Federico!

-There's no time!
-Run!

-[Margarita] She was a traitor.
-[Federico] Maika thinks so.

But I don't.

They must've framed her.

-I don't know. Maybe I'm naive.
-No.

You're not naive, you're in love.

You're the sweetest of gentlemen,
after all!

Here I thought you were
a parasite leeching on Daisy.

[Federico] It's true.

At first, I got close to Daisy
to get close to Delfina.

-[gentle music playing]
-But then I met her, and...

I don't know. I felt something strong.

Do you love Daisy?

I can't love or move on
until I know what happened to Blue.

Well...

we'll talk tomorrow, okay?
Even if they're suspicious...

trust the Emoti Fairies.

They've helped repeatedly.

As you wish, Mach.

[Margarita] We are pure legend...
always with a story to tell.

[music concludes]

Delfina! Seeking the princes, we managed
to position Reina in five countries.

I don't give a hoot, good-for-nothing!

I want you to take
that brat channel down, got it?

Yes. We're reporting them
and copyright claiming them.

I don't know what happened, sorry...

I'll tell you what happened.
You let it happen!

-I won't do it again, Delf...
-[Delfina] I don't care!

Get out! Leave!

-Delfina.
-Out!

-You belong in the SOZ, Mar!
-Everyone!

[crowd chanting]
Free Margarita! Free Margarita!

-Free Margarita!
-Transmission ended. What?

-They took our stream down.
-What?

-Why are you here?
-I'm waiting for you.

-To?
-To go to your room.

You need my room
to hide from your girlfriend?

-[gentle music playing]
-I said she's not my girlfriend.

-Your aunt said that.
-Why don't you refuse?

If you don't put boundaries on her,
it'll only get worse.

Don't worry. I'll do it my way.

-No one dominates me.
-Sure.

Única makes you bend over backwards.
I thought you'd be more rebellious.

-More daring.
-You want to see daring?

I don't know. Do I?

[Única] You're so basic!

You think Daisy hasn't figured out
you're using her?

Uh, Única...

Does everyone use each other
in your eyes? You don't believe

in sincere bonds, solidarity, friendship?

I do.

-I don't believe in Rey.
-There's no need for drama.

There's no cameras here.
Don't play the jealous girlfriend.

Bye.

We'll talk later.

Mar, baby, where are you? Pick up!
I really, really need to talk to you!

I'm suddenly a heartbreaker! [giggles]
Pipe and Rey are into me, okay?

Meaning, I need help,
please, pick up. Text me.

-Call me crazy, but...

-That's why I love her.
-You do?

I mean, love is love, right?
We never forget.

I see it, now I believe it.
The fairies were right after all.

[Margarita] Even fairies have stories.

Every fairy tale
draws from a well of truth.

[bell dings]

Take it easy, Delf, they're insignificant!

What an awful accent, Yamila.
It's unbelievable.

We must have their heads. Now!

-Do you have the castings?
-Yes!

-What?
-Amazing! They keep voting!

-Tell me.
-I have to show you this one.

-Right.
-It's about a girl.

-Right.
-She sings, "Throw Yourself..."

Hey, guys! How exciting!

You recognize me, right?
You definitely confused me with Delf.

No! Don't play here!
I don't want to see it!

What is that ridiculous thing?

I don't know, I thought you'd like it.

Yamila, you're in no shape
to be in front of a camera!

Have you not noticed at all?

What if they're caught?

What if they fly the wrong way,
end up in Japan or Indochina?

Mar.

[Margarita] Yeah. [gasping] It's them!

[all laughing]

[all squealing, screaming]

[Merlin] I told you! Let's go!

[joyful music playing]

[music concludes]

It won't be easy to choose!

-See? She's talking nonsense!
-[Ada] What?

She's exaggerating. She's tense.

Have you talked to Margarita recently?

There are things

you don't talk about with anyone.

A gesture

is worth more than a thousand words.

[Margarita] Like a Trojan Horse,
the truth is within fiction.

Hello! What did I bring today, I wonder?
Well, a confession.

Everything you see here is fake.
I'm an invention of Delfina's.

[Margarita] Some stories are made
to convince us of lies.

But false stories, sooner or later,
are exposed to truth.

We're coming back to tell the world,
that your story, queen...

-is all just fiction.
