[song concludes]

-[birds chirping]
-My parents' ship is right that way!

-[soft music playing]
-[young Margarita] Do you see it?

Mm... mm-mm.

Maybe daylight doesn't help.

They name stars
and discover new planets, oui!

Forward!

-Very well, you may rest.
-[pants]

But in the meantime,
you brush up on your philosophy.

[young Andrés]
♪ I'm in love with them all ♪

♪ With them all, yeah ♪

♪ I'm in love with them all ♪

-♪ With them all, yeah ♪
-[bell tolling]

They'll be back in ten or 15 years.

Fifteen years?

-Time flows quickly in space.
-[man] Margarita!

What did we say
about making up stories, ma petite?

Do you know what happened
to my parents? No.

So you don't know
whether or not they're astronauts.

-[chuckles]
-So, we don't know if I'm lying or not.

Behave, Margarita. Yes?

[mysterious woman] Hello, Margarita.

-Hello, Federico.
-[enchanting music playing]

Your name is Andrés, isn't it?

What a lovely tree!

To think it was once a little seed.

Seeds are a great mystery.

You can only know a tree lives within it
once it's all grown.

The tree sleeps soundly in here.

The seed is the tree.

You're all destined to become great trees.

Lovely and fruitful.

Look at me. Remember my face.

Next time you see me,
time will have come for the seed

to become a tree.

-[Hans] Federico!
-[birds chirping]

What are you waiting for?

[teacher] Go to class!

[man] Margarita.

-Who are you talking to?
-[young Margarita] To...

-[wind blowing]
-[leaves rustling]

[soft music playing]

-[music fades]
-[pensive music playing]

-[Margarita] Do you see Andrés?
-[Merlin] That's not Andrés.

It's another trick of my uncle's
to convince us he's powerless.

I don't know. He could be
my other brother, you know?

-He was locked up the whole time.
-Blue said that to Fach.

-[indistinct chatter over TV]
-[sighs] Let's see, excuse me.

[sighs, clears throat]

What do you think?

Do we look alike?

[crowd groan]

Translation, please?
That sounded like Mandarin.

He said Andrés never left Krikoragán,
he was actually under his care.

One more time.
Pips, mind your words. Think well.

The eyes. This bit here. It's like...

-Do you get it?
-No, Mar. Not at all.

[dramatic music playing]

What flíkiti! The mystery woman!

[camera shutter clicking]

THE MYSTERY WOMAN

[music concludes]

[motorcycle engine revving]

[Federico sighs]

As soon as the results are in,
I'll call you.

Wait. You can't go like that.
What happened?

-You saw the news and got weird.
-[sighs]

I promise I'll explain.

If the result is positive,
I'll tell it all, trust me.

I have to go.

Father Santiago?
Anita, why did you call him?

[Anita] Sorry, I got worried.

Good thing you told me.
You can't disappear like that!

It was the only way
to meet Torino, Father.

-We're leaving.
-[Florencio] I can't.

You don't believe in magic.

Think of it as something divine,
a miracle.

It seems I have a brother!

-What?
-[Federico] Father Santiago.

They told me he was not in the parish.

-Who are you?
-[Federico] Federico.

Federico Cornwall de La Hoya.

[soft music playing]

You were a close friend
of my father's, Máximo.

I get it now!

Seeking your brother,
you thought you were Florencio.

[Federico] Yes.

-You're not?
-I don't get it. I'm not?

[music concludes]

-Nope, Federico won't pick up.
-Keep trying.

He needs to reclaim the throne.

[indistinct chatter]

How are you so different from your family?

It seems unlikely to be
the same woman you saw

when you were ten.

-Oui, of course.
-Oui.

Everything that's happened so far
was super believable, right?

-Oui.
-Oui.

I don't know, I...

thought I'd dreamed it all.

I thought it was a memory
from my active imagination

totally made up, but... I am sure of it.

-It's her!
-What's she mean with all this?

Je ne sais pas.

[in Spanish]
She said I was a seed or something.

What are you doing with that?

[Zeki] It's for Mar's presentation
on Flikiti.

Let's focus on that.

New priorities, Zeki.
We must respond ASAP.

You guys, do whatever.
We are doing things right.

Well, let's go. Move.

Save the world with your art, then.

-[friend 1] Come, come!
-[friend 2 chuckles]

I tried to contact my supposed brother,
but they denied me access to him.

-[cell phone ringing]
-[Daisy] They also gave no proof

that this youngster is Andrés.

-[dramatic music playing]
-Keep me apprised.

[Daisy] However, in the name
of the crown in diaspora,

I reject your coronation.

I don't acknowledge you as brother
until there is proof.

[sighs]

-Was that good?
-It was perfect.

You have all the qualities of a queen.

Marquess, do you think
he is the true Andrés?

I've met lots of Machiavellian folks,
capable of high-tier subterfuge

to sustain the empire. Right, Delfina?

Absolutely.

I know people so evil
they could do just about anything.

One must be cautious.

-For now...
-Mm.

...we'll send off a secret mission
to investigate.

-Okay.
-Marquess, I am at your service.

I'd like to join this mission.

Where are you going?

Where do they look after you
better than here,

this golden cradle of yours, Ada?

-I'd never put you at risk, Ada.
-Of course.

-I'll keep you informed.
-Yes, please.

What now, aunt?

Now we won't give Erasmus
what he wants. Come.

One, two, three. Yeah.

-Five, six, seven, eight.
-Here goes.

Perfect! Sasha,
do you want to finish the flag?

They censored the socials and forbade
the entry of foreign journalists.

It's total confusion.

[upbeat song playing over speakers]

-He still won't pick up.
-It's a Pietro, are you surprised?

No.

♪ White flag to the heart ♪

Thanks for setting me apart from him.

♪ The world is torn in two ♪

-♪ White flag to... ♪
-[music stops]

Here, Margarita Ana Cornwall de La Hoya!
Or did you want to make a scene?

Excuse moi, Zeki. The show must go on.

No. You go out, shake off
those toxic residues and come back.

-[groans]
-Come on! Move!

Excuse me.

[female voice] What's up? I'm bored.

You're in love with an idea, Otto.
This mysterious woman

could be someone playing
some kind of mean prank.

I promise that's not the case.
Don't worry.

And I have a slight suspicion
who it might be.

[cell phone beeps]

Hans, your father and I
studied together in Denmark.

Hans always said
I was a bad influence to your father.

It's true.

Before heeding the call of God,
I had a crazy life.

Can you say more about my father?

Anything. Whatever you remember.

Máximo was...

fun, rebellious.

We were always mixed up in something.

I could not possibly fathom

a better adventure companion
than your father.

So, when he requested I take care
of Andrés, I did not refuse.

He was with me for two years.

But then,
some strange people began to show up.

-I thought the Pietros had found us.
-Hmm.

So I asked for him to be taken far away.

-Where'd they take him?
-I don't know.

I refused the knowledge,
exactly to protect him.

They said a family adopted him.

What I also know is...
that Florencio is not your brother.

We're not so sure yet.

-[somber music playing]
-My dear, I know it hurts.

But believe me,
this test will test negative.

Sorry for deceiving you.

I know it's hard not knowing who you are.

I know there's nothing
that can take away the pain.

Maybe we could do something together.

Maybe something with Torino?

[music concludes]

-Are you moving?
-No, these are your things.

[gasps] No!
I don't believe this! [chuckles]

-My fairies! [gasps]
-[chuckles]

-No...
-Yes.

After what happened,
Daisy got mad and threw them away.

-Well, I managed to get it all.
-Thank you so much for that.

You don't know how important
these are to me!

The fairies have been with me
ever since I was a baby.

And...

this thing, I found it in the attic.

Top secret, but whenever
I had a challenge at the Hangar,

I'd take him with me.

It's a gift.

[soft music playing]

I guess I need it.

I don't know what to do, Mar.
My head is in limbo.

I want to stay, help you and join Flikiti.

But I'm really afraid
of what Delfina could do.

I promise you... your family will be okay.

They'll want for nothing...

as long as you carry your amulet.

[Otto] It's not fair.

You know who I am,
but I don't know who you are.

[female voice] I'm scared
you won't like me.

[Otto] I'm scared you don't even exist.
At least give me proof that you're real.

-[camera shutter clicks]
-[cell phone beeps]

Something's missing.

Yes. Close your eyes.

-Me?
-[Rayan] Yes.

-Don't peek. I'll know if you do.
-No.

-[chuckles]
-[Rayan] Don't open them.

Ah! [chuckles]

[Rayan] On three,

-you can open them.
-Okay.

Let's count together.

[both] One, two, three!

-[gasps] My thistle!
-[Rayan chuckles]

[laughs] Merci, grazie! [chuckles]

I've reunited with my thistle, so...

I'll take them to your room.

-Okay?
-Yeah.

Pietro, did you leave your résumé
at a pizzeria?

-Yeah, and a bunch of places.
-[laughs]

I'm a penniless plebeian,
I have a brother to raise.

-I have to go to work, right?
-Crazy, right?

-Crazy? [chuckles]
-From prince to pizza guy.

"Pizza guy"? Watch it.

-[laughs]
-It's not nice to make fun, Maika.

I actually think
what Merlin managed is very important.

Chill, I'm not making fun.

She's not making fun, Mar.

[whimsical music playing]

Rey, come here.

Do you understand this?
It looks like it's... an inside joke?

Together?

Yeah, like, codes.
Codes! That's it. We should have a code.

-[laughs]
-Well...

Looks like you were lucky.

-They want to interview you.
-What?

-Interview me?
-Yeah, come, I'll tell you.

-Wait, just, tell me more.
-[Maika chuckles]

-Margarita.
-Hmm?

You may be insanely talented
with no need for practice,

but I still need to practice.
Let's rehearse.

-Go.
-[music concludes]

Ciao, Cata. Sono qui, happy birthday.
I'll send you a big bacio. [blows kiss]

-Come.
-[Anita speaking indistinctly]

Yes, you. Come on.

Torino! Torino, hey.
I'm Anita. I'm a huge, huge fan!

It's my birthday today.

I didn't get the meet-and-greet,
but, I could meet you right now-- [gasps]

Ciao, bella. Scusami,
but sono occupato, I can't.

-Sorry. Another time.
-Okay.

Scusami.

Che fai? I'll call security.

Will you excuse us a second?

Chill, no one will hurt you.
I just want to chat.

Don't you know people wait days
to come talk to me?

I'm terribly sorry for those people.

-Who? Your friends?
-Yes.

Florencio's been waiting days to meet you.

Why do you care?

I don't give a damn. But...

it seems meeting you
is Florencio's undying dream.

Get the phone, let's make a vid.
There's your dream. Go.

I'm not done. You'll sing with him.

[chuckles] Sing? With him?

How many songs do you want me to sing?
We'll take him to San Siro, yeah?

-You're sarcastic, too?
-Yeah.

You'll sing with her on Flíkiti's stream.

Will you force me if I say no?

No, I won't force you.
I thought you wanted to meet Margarita.

[upbeat music playing]

I know you admire her.

What do you have in common?

She's my sister.

Think well. That way, we all win.

[music concludes]

SOON, ONCE MORE
MAR AND US

Mar's show on Flikiti
will be the best of the century!

Absolutely.

With two painted posters,
I doubt she'll do as she did in Reina.

[crowd cheers, grunts]

Ready to show everyone
who the kings of the stream are?

-Yes!
-More than ever, Mar!

[crowd cheers]

A last-minute announcement from Reina.

Today, the sun rises
to yet another lie by the Pietros.

-Ask if I'm surprised.
-Are you surprised?

No!

The Pietros know
only how to lie, lie and lie!

But we will respond
the best way we know how.

-How?
-With art.

[song concludes]

So much for that.
If I let myself think, I'll cry!

-Why do we lock the door?
-No crying, no bickering.

-Let's find cameras and mics.
-All the cameras are ours.

No one leaked anything, right?

[scoffs] I'm offended
by your looks right now!

I have a loose tongue,
but I am not a snitch!

Daisy can't even look at me,
and Única would sooner die.

Maybe not you, Margarita.

But the same way
someone once gave us intel on Reina,

they could just as well
do the opposite, no?

[interrogative music playing]

If you can't trust me, I'm out.

[Merlin] It's not the first time,
is it, Rey?

I don't betray allies.
I don't lie. I don't hide, like you did.

If I stab you, I do it to your face.

-I'm not a traitor.
-You bullied Romeo, right?

-Enough.
-Crazy.

Enough low blows and suspicion.

Rey.

-Don't worry, we trust you.
-[Maika] Speak for yourself.

No. Rey is right.
You are many things, but never a traitor.

-Mm-hmm. What "many things" am I?
-[clears throat]

You're you.

So, how did that information
get leaked?

[cell phone ringing]

[exhales]

Federico Augustus, your sister,
how may I help?

-What?
-[upbeat music playing]

Obviously! Now.

I don't know how she did it,
but if Delfina wants a fight...

she'll get one.

And then some.

[music concludes]

-[Polo] It needs more spiciness.
-[Delfina] What?

-Didn't you feel it?
-I felt nothing at all.

I feel a strong desire to shoo you away.

-Good grief, the things we hear.
-Right.

-What do you know about spice?
-You know what? You suck.

You're like a green banana.

Get out! Bother someone else! Bye!

Leave. Get out of here.
Close the door on your way out.

-Give us a minute, we're talking, bye now.
-[soft music playing]

-What'll you do?
-What do you mean?

-To him.
-What, me?

-Me, do something to you?
-Something bad?

Are you going to do something bad?

-A complaint, at least?
-On who?

Get out! You're driving me mad!
You're like a parrot. Please, leave.

What do we say now?

We had almost 70k viewers waiting.

Yeah, we're just useless,
we're stupid useless losers!

Sasha, stop.
Why don't you go play with Ali?

-He's at Otto's.
-Then go there.

-No, I'm staying.
-[cell phone ringing]

[Ada] May I make a request, please?

-[suspicious music playing]
-I need a box of fresh produce...

-Ada?
-[Ada] Yes.

Yes, Ada. Please, I need it urgently.

-Do I have to go there?
-[Ada] Yes.

ASAP, thank you.

-[Sasha] What?
-Something's up with Ada.

I'm going to Delfina's.
Borja, keep an eye on Fach's doodad.

-What's so interesting?
-I don't know.

This reminds me of something.

Wait.

-Wait.
-What?

-No, what?
-Wait.

Wait for what?

-[groovy song playing over cell phone]
-Look closer.

Isn't that mysterious woman...

[both] Única?

[mysterious music playing]

That's Única.

This again? Torino is platonic love.
And, maybe, I'll allow it.

He told me why he's there.

Ciao a tutti.

[exclaims]

[in Spanish] Did you turn to stone?

You may greet me.
I am real, and very nice.

Nice to meet you, I'm Sasha.

I love your music.
We could make an album--

Liar. A week ago
I didn't even know who you are.

Neither did I, but my partner
showed you to me, now I'm a fan.

Hi, yes. I'm Zeki.

Me piace tutti. Sei bellisimo.
Ti amo.

[screams, laughs] By my fairies,
what a flikiti! Thank you!

[soft music playing]

I do it for you, baby.
I love singing with you.

I'm also making
this goof's dreams come true.

-Hi.
-Come on!

Don't be shy, we're almost brothers.

No, Mar.
Florencio is not Andrés after all.

Are we meeting the girl cast
or are we having a soccer match?

-Everyone's here, Torino.
-No more girls?

-No.
-Remember, you're here to act

-and not to date.
-Fine.

[chuckles]

-Say no.
-I don't know why you're laughing.

What's so funny to you?
No one was ever seen kissing me

on the hand, in a picture,
in a video, or in any medium!

What you did really upset me.
It's humiliating. Please, leave.

-You know why?
-Why?

No one was brave enough.

Most men are intimidated
by women like you.

Strong, talented, independent.

You're not? Why? Because you're different?
From everyone else?

Yes, I am. And you love it.

Leave! Leave now, please.
We have work to do.

-You want a meeting? Then ask.
-Yes, I want a meeting.

-Get busy...
-[Delfina] Go! Leave!

Busy yourself like an adult already.

-You are one, so don't be childish.
-Get out of here.

People don't know bleached jeans
aren't cool anymore.

You like the jeans? I'll lend them.

You'll just need a little diet
to wear them, that's all.

-What?
-Get out.

Can you leave? Enough!

Like you, we were also waiting for her.

She came with company.

Why are we waiting?
Let loose the musical fantasy, Janix!

But-- You're a genius! How'd you do it?

I can fill a book with ways
of entering a leaving a place. What's up?

They want to k*ll me, Pips.

If they haven't yet,
that's divine intervention.

Any moment, they'll finish the job.

-What?
-I'm trying to tell you.

I need help getting Daisy
out of here, please.

What are you saying?

-You were here?
-Enough hiding.

-What are you saying?
-[Ada] Honey...

I want to tell you
you already know the truth,

but you won't listen.

Mar told you
what we told you months prior.

You aren't who you think.

We tried to tell you all along,
but Delfina

and Severino hold us prisoner,
under threat, always silenced.

They don't want you to know the truth.

What happened?
We were hitting new records.

While you sang, things spiraled out.

-Pips and Ada told Daisy.
-What? No!

I can't believe how stupid you are!
I expected it from you, Pips.

Margarita uses you the same way
she uses everyone else!

But you, Ada?

After all these years,
how could you believe that?

Daisy, honey, I had the proof myself.

Some time ago, I met Federico.

-He showed me all the evidence.
-What?

Listen, Federico is Fach.

Are you hearing yourself right now?
It feels like I don't know you.

I don't want to see you ever again. Ever!

-No, Daisy...
-Ada, it's dangerous.

We must tell the truth now.

No, Merlin. We can't.
No part of the plan was successful.

We have no resources, we have no evidence

we didn't hurt her,
not economically or optically!

Merlin's right.
If we waste time, we put Ada in danger.

And Daisy too.

There's nothing organized,
Delf left already.

So what? Drag them out
of the house if you must.

Do something, we have to control this.

I know what you are. You're shameless.

You act all sweet,
but you're a delinquent.

I'm an artist, and what are you?
What's your talent?

Keeping the world from being overrun
by delinquents like you.

-[pensive music playing]
-Is that a death threat?

-It is.
-Please...

Watch it, I seem nice but I bite too.

I see no problem in beating an old man.

-Old man?
-Yes.

-Old man?
-Yes, enough.

If there's no other option...

we have to report her.

Finally. What are you paid for?

Why do we pay you guys?

[Rayan] They'll report you.

[Delfina] Who? How? When?

[Rayan] Now, on stream.

Feel your heart burn, boom, boom ♪

♪ Feel with your king's heart
It wears not your crown ♪

♪ A heart without a key
It finds no forgiveness for liars ♪
