-[song concludes]
-[crowd cheering, applauding]

[all chuckle]

-[soft music playing]
-You're Fede.

It's crystal clear that you're Fede,
my boy. [chuckles]

My son Federico. [sobs]

Look at those big eyes.
They're just like your grandfather's.

-Did you know his name was Andrés too?
-[sniffles, exhales]

No? [chuckles] You didn't know?
Oh, come here.

He just joined the story recently,
so he's a little flikiti-fied.

Margarita.

My little flower.

[chuckles softly]

-Anyway, I'm the only girl, so... [laughs]
-[laughs]

[Máximo sobs]
Oh, sweetheart, my little girl.

You're just like your mom, you know?

-[sobs]
-You're just like your mother.

The curls, the sweet smile, everything.

[Margarita chuckles]

[chuckles]

[Margarita] We'd been looking
for the nursery for a long time

without realizing
we'd been carrying it with us all along.

NURSERY

-[music fades]
-I want to announce some news

that fills us with joy.

Erasmus Pietro is going to marry my aunt,

Delfina Santillán Torres Oviedo.

Guardian of my siblings

and heirs to the estate
of the Cornwall de la Hoya.

[organ music playing]

[crowd applauds]

[music concludes]

[Rey] Merlin, what happened to you?
Talk to me. [sobs]

Answer me! What happened to you?

Hey!

-Merlin!
-Take care of her. Take care of Mar.

-[breathes shakily]
-When I'm gone, promise me,

you'll take care of her,
and you'll make her happy.

Stop talking nonsense!
You will take care of her.

-Hey, hey! [sobs]
-Swear it to me, Rey.

Swear it to me, please.

Swear to me. Take care of her.

Enough! Don't say that!

We were told that... that... that...

[Fach] Dad, is mom with you?

We'll have time
to talk about everything later.

Now let's go inside.
Erasmus's men are right behind us.

-Come on, let's go.
-[somber music playing]

-No!
-[Rey] Merlin!

Merlin, no! Merlin! [breathes shakily]

Merlin! Oh, no, no, no. Merlin.

[sobs] What happened to him?
What happened to him?

[music concludes]

Merlin!

[dramatic music playing]

Merlin.

[music fades]

[Delfina]
Just as a flower blooms from the earth,

that is how our love was born
in the midst of a w*r.

With no beginning, but with an end.

Our marriage will finally
unite definitively

two warring houses and put an end
to many years of discord.

This marriage

will make Krikoragán flourish once again
for the world,

and it will be a great celebration
for our people.

[elegant music playing]

[dramatic music playing]

[indistinct clamor]

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Polo] Are they at this police station?

Yes. I've spoken to the rebels.

Rayan and Sarik were brought here.

[Polo]
Let's take advantage of the protest.

I'll cover you.

-You guys go find our friends, okay?
-[Pipe] What about me?

You film it all.
We have to record everything.

The world must know the truth.
This isn't what the palace is showing.

[grunts]

[grunts]

{\an8}[in Krikon] Freedom!

{\an8}Freedom!

{\an8}Freedom! Freedom!

Freedom!

-[Rayan in Spanish] Maika!
-[Maika] Rayan, Sarik! Are you okay?

-[Boria] Sarik!
-[Maika] Let's go.

[Boria] Come on, let's go.

-[in Krikon] Freedom.
-Freedom.

-[Maika in Spanish] Come on.
-[Boria] Let's go.

-[Polo in Krikon] Freedom!
-[music fades]

[in Spanish]
We were looking for the gas pipelines

to get out of the country.

That's when we saw he was detained.

Since he was with two guards,
we took the opportunity to attack.

But the coward shot me
just so he could escape.

And that's when
Merlin stepped in to help me,

and he saved my life.

He actually shot his own nephew.

Yeah.

-I can't believe it.
-Well, he's done much worse things.

-This is nothing.
-Yes.

Erasmus is much more terrifying
than his brother.

Together,
they rule through fear and horror.

And to think I believed Pio was my friend.

[Rey] Oh man, he's burning up.
We have to move him now.

Okay. My friends went to get help.
They'll be right back.

[tense music playing]

-Maika, how are you?
-We rescued Sarik and Rayan.

-We couldn't find Blue.
-I'll meet up with you ASAP.

What's wrong, Fede? Are you okay?

Well, we found Merlin.

But he's in bad shape.

Please, do whatever is necessary
to find Blue.

[music concludes]

Hello, Blue.

Did you miss me?

What's going on?

When will I be ex*cuted?

I convinced Erasmus to postpone it.

And why is that?

Because even though you are a traitor,

I grew fond of you during the time
we spent in Buenos Aires.

-I've learned to love you.
-[intriguing music playing]

That's why I wanted to ask you something.

Because I'm going to need a woman...

to be my queen.

And you know what? I thought of you.

If you accept, I'll negotiate your pardon.

[music concludes]

[tense music playing]

I can't believe you've dared
to betray me again.

Was this your agreement?

To marry this monstrosity,
and to be queen in this den of savages?

Honestly, between us,

I obviously would have
preferred Polynesia,

but that wasn't possible,

and sometimes
you have to make sacrifices, so...

-It's okay, this place isn't so bad.
-What about me?

I'm supposed to be your lover?

I don't know,
but why aren't you thanking me?

For getting you out of Argentina.
You should be behind bars.

Let me remind you I was the one
who rescued you from jail.

-[chuckles softly] Yes.
-I could've left,

-but I took a risk for you.
-Yeah, and why did you do it?

-That's what I ask myself every night.
-[music concludes]

[Daisy] How did she manage
to leave the country, Ada?

-Is there no justice? Are there no checks?
-Yes, my love.

I can assure you
these people don't have much time left.

[Daisy] She spent her whole life
trying to avoid being like Malala.

But look at her.

She got married for convenience,
just like her mother.

-I can't believe I loved her so much.
-[knocking at door]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Ada] Oh, my God! Are you okay?

Oh! Lisa! A first-aid kit!

-Hurry.
-Come over here.

-Be careful.
-Let's go.

If you'll play Marie Antoinette,
this story will end the same way.

People are fed up.
This is going to blow up any minute now.

Oh, look how jealous you are.
It's unbelievable.

You know what?

Erasmus gives me everything
you can't give me.

And in the end,
it was all about coming out on top.

-[Severino] I saved you.
-[Delfina scoffs]

-I rescued you a thousand times.
-Yeah.

And this is how you repay me?

Well, maybe you're paying
for everything you did, aren't you?

For lying your whole life
and for also lying to Daisy,

who's your own daughter, right?

Yes, but I did it out of love.

For once in my rotten life,
I did something for someone.

I gave Daisy the life of a princess.
And you?

-Have you ever done anything for anyone?
-[scoffs]

-Excuse me. I'm taking my wife now.
-Oh.

I want to call the cops.
I'm turning myself in.

-No.
-Yami...

-What are you doing?
-Enough, stop that!

We know you regret everything you did
and want to make amends.

That's why I want them to put me in jail.

-Give me the phone.
-Don't do that!

[overlapping chatter]

Hey, listen.

Did you hear about Delfina?

{\an8}Our love was born that way...

{\an8}[Yamila] Is she the queen now?

{\an8}[Jano] But how did she
get out of the country?

[cellphone rings]

-Hello?
-[Severino] This is Severino.

I really need to talk to Daisy,
but I can't reach her.

What do you want?
Don't you think you've hurt her enough?

-Leave her alone.
-[Severino] Yamila.

I have to talk to Daisy.

I don't know if I'm going to end up dead
or in jail.

For the first time,
I want to do the right thing,

and tell Daisy the truth. Please help me.

[Alex] Naim is waiting for us outside.

Let's take advantage of the riots
to get out without any trouble, okay?

Where will you take him?

To the hospital, some friends work there.

-I'm coming with you. [breathes shakily]
-No, hold on a second.

You can't. It's very dangerous.

We're the most wanted people
in the kingdom.

-We're the only threat to the Pietros.
-[Margarita] No, I'm going with him.

You have to understand, please.

As long as we remain alive,
our family has a claim to the throne.

We can't put ourselves at risk.

Come on, what do I care about the crown?

-Merlin's dying, Merlin's dying! And I...
-Mar, Mar, Mar...

-[sobs]
-He won't be alone.

-I'm going to protect him with my life.
-[somber music playing]

Calm down. Trust him.

Everything'll be fine.

Okay, come on, hurry.
There's no time to waste.

-Let's go. One...
-One, two, three...

[sobs] No, no, no! Merlin, no!

Merlin, don't take him away.

Take me with him, take me with him!

-No, no, no, no, no!
-[music fades]

Can you start downloading the pictures
and connecting the router?

Will do.

Relax, Pipe. You can do it.

[cellphone rings]

-Hello?
-[Yamila] Polo!

How are you? Did you all make it?

Yeah, but listen,
the signal's gonna cut out any minute now.

Listen, finally,
an irrepressible rebellion is brewing.

That's not what we're seeing here.

On all the socials,
it looks like a huge party

for Delfina and Erasmus's
engagement ceremony.

People look happy with the new queen.

That's not the reality. People are fed up.

I'll send you some images
of what's really going on here,

so you can share them with everyone, okay?

Polo, please tell Pipe he's a hero
and that Cala misses him a lot.

-Stop.
-Please.

-Done, it's all set.
-Listen.

We've sent the images.
Have Otto confirm he got them.

-So?
-Yes.

All set. Let's get to work. Okay.

Polo, there's an issue.

Even if you send me the images,
no one's going to see them.

I failed.

Our viewer numbers tanked
all because of me.

Look, Yamila,
don't be so hard on yourself.

Don't give up.

-I trust you.
-Okay.

I promise.

-[crickets chirping]
-[dog barking in distance]

[Máximo] Tell me, Margarita.

How was it that you met Delfina?

-I was chasing dreams.
-[intriguing music playing]

At that time, she wasn't...
she wasn't completely in the dark.

-Hmm.
-And she held some auditions.

I showed up to them
and sang, "Speechless."

Mom's song.

That's when she realized I was me and...

and it was a river of tears.

That song was written by your mom.

And how did you know it?

From Anieta.

Well, that was her name when I knew her.

But she's your friend, Bruna.

-She had one of Mom's CDs.
-[chuckles softly]

The Magical Curls of Life.

Are you really still surprised?

No.

Many years ago,
I surrendered to the power of magic.

-[music concludes]
-Oh?

-You should take a cue from your father.
-[all chuckle softly]

Maika, I need you to answer me.

I need to know
what you found out about Blue.

Fede. We're going to find her.

Tell me about yourself.
What've you been up to?

Well, I've had no shortage of adventures.

But unlike Mach,
my life has been a little less chaotic.

I grew up in Germany, with Hans.

[chuckles] And together we formed
the League of Princes.

Hans? My great friend Hans?

Well, I'm sure that
even though he must've been very strict,

he loved you a lot.

Yes.

And you, Andrés?

-[chuckles]
-Or would you rather I call you Torino?

[chuckles] Whatever you want, Dad.

He's starting a new chapter.
[chuckles softly]

Because he's...

-Hyper, mega, super famous. He's a singer.
-[Máximo] No...

That's great! Tell me about that.

Well, right now I should be doing shows
in Rio de Janeiro. [laughs]

-[laughs]
-[Andrés] But like she says...

life has its surprises.

[soft music playing]

You have no idea
how much of your mom is in all of you.

That laughter, the great love of music.

What happened to her, Dad?

[sighs]

The night of the coup, Flor had gone out.

And when everything broke out,
you were sleeping, and I was at my desk.

I immediately asked Ada to...

to take you out of the country,
and get you to safety.

And when I wanted to look for Flor,
I couldn't do anything. I was arrested.

And you never heard anything about her?

All the years I was in prison,
I asked about her.

And they never told me anything.

Not where she was...

or if she was alive, or not.

At first, I...

I was so sure that the power of magic
was going to do its job.

And then, as time went on,
I started to lose faith.

[shakily] I don't know why,

but I just started
to stop feeling Flor in my heart.

Until today...

when everything changed.

It's as if I could hear her telling me,

"Mr. Minimo, don't be so silly,
never stop believing."

Why?

Because she created this nursery.

It was her favorite place.

She always came here.

She filled it with life and love.

The day everything blew up, she was here.

She had come here.

One day,
she asked me to plant three seeds.

One seed for each of her kids.

So, that's why we can't say
that meeting here was a coincidence.

Of course it wasn't.

[chuckles softly]
The mysterious woman was right.

We were the seeds all along.

But I don't understand.
What mysterious woman?

An angel.
A great presence that guided us here.

[sighs] In the end...

[laughs]

-...you have to give in to the magic.
-[music fades]

-[cellphone ringing]
-Rey, we're listening.

Merlin is being treated at the hospital.

How is he?

[Rey]
He needs surgery to remove the b*llet.

But he'll be okay.

Thanks, Rey. We'll be in touch.

[Rey] So, what happened?

[heart rate monitor beeping]

He lost a lot of blood.

We need to make sure
he survives the surgery.

[song concludes]

What happened yesterday
was a complete failure.

And I can't play dumb anymore.

I know full well that people
aren't interested in seeing me.

But beyond that,
we have something to share with you

{\an8}that goes beyond my ego.

{\an8}That's why I chose to call her.

{\an8}-The one and only. The goddess.
-[upbeat music playing]

[Yamila] The host of the most successful
streaming show in our country.

Welcome, Guillermina Fuentes!
A round of applause.

-[all applaud, cheer]
-[Otto] Bravo!

-Aw.
-[Yamila] Welcome.

What a warm welcome, thanks so much.

It's a dream come true to be here. Thanks.

I called you a million times.
You even made me beg.

I didn't want to be
under Delfina's command.

But luckily, things are different now.

And I couldn't say no to Margarita.

-[grunts]
-[music fades]

[Máximo] Regardless of what they did,
they deserve to eat.

I agree.

-I'll help you.
-[Máximo] All right.

{\an8}[in Krikon] How's Prince Merlin doing?

{\an8}He'll be fine.

[in Spanish]
He asked me how Merlin was doing.

Yes. I know a little.

[in Krikon] Máximo, I can--

-Shut up!
-[intriguing music playing]

Don't say a word.

The king is back.

We don't need to be loyal
to Erasmus anymore.

[speaking Krikon]

[in Spanish] I didn't understand that.

He told me that their vests have cameras.

They must've recorded
Erasmus sh**ting Merlin.

That could help us
get the world to condemn Erasmus.

Let's check it out.

[speaking Krikon]

[music concludes]

{\an8}My friends, what Margarita, her family,

{\an8}and Merlin are going through
is very serious.

{\an8}And the world needs to know
what is happening in Krikoragán.

{\an8}That is why I ask you, community,
to raise your voices.

We need to be many.

And for those many to tell others
what we are going to tell many more.

The exclusive images reaching us
from the kingdom,

with all that partying,
that luxury, and happy people,

it's not true.

FAKE

In Krikoragán,
people no longer want to live

under that regime of terror,

and protests are starting to break out.

[intriguing music playing]

Well, the people are asking us
about Rayan and Sarik.

And they're okay.

But we still haven't heard from Blue.

She is the ambassador's daughter,
and a member of the Resistance.

We are k*lling it, Otto.
There are people from all over the world.

And look who's calling.
Let's put her on the air.

Right.

[Margarita] Hello, everyone.

We're greeting you from Krikoragán

where, as many of you already know,
horrible things are happening.

[Andrés]
The people are fed up with the regime.

But Erasmus refuses to give up power.

Incredibly, he still has supporters.

[Fach]
For those few who still have doubts,

or who support them,

or who are afraid to speak out,
watch this video.

No!

[Margarita] That is Erasmus Pietro.

A person capable of sh**ting
his own nephew in cold blood.

You call me the princess
who lives in the heart of the people,

but I know that Merlin will live forever
in all your hearts

because you know how he stood up
to his father and his uncle,

and he exposed
all the regime's atrocities.

Today he needs you.

Take to the streets
to demonstrate for him.

{\an8}[in Krikon] Freedom!

{\an8}Freedom!

Freedom.

[Margarita in Spanish]
A nursery is a project.

An investment.

A bet that no matter
how barren the present may be,

the future will blossom.

No, they're not there. It's impossible.
Those aren't my last names.

Keep looking then.

-Don't give up, I'm with you.
-[knocking at door]

[Lisa] Who are you?

-I need to talk to Daisy.
-[Ada] What are you doing here, criminal?

Let me just talk to Daisy.
I want to tell her the truth.

But what truth? You only told her lies.

I know you'll never forgive me,
and you're absolutely right not to,

but you deserve to know who you are.

Let me tell you the truth. Please.

[tense music playing]

I know that you've done so much for me,
but I wanted to ask you one last favor.

I wonder, could we bring my mom

to help me with all
the wedding preparations?

She's my only family,
and I'd like her to be here.

Hmm.

You'll have to settle for only your lover.

-The wedding will be today.
-[Delfina] Today?

I haven't even made the guest list
or started preparing yet.

Don't worry. It'll be spectacular.

No one will talk about anything else.
That's what matters, right?

Sir?

-What's wrong?
-We have a problem.

There was a signal leak, sir.
The Cornwall de la Hoyas spoke out.

They showed everyone images
of you sh**ting Merlin.

World leaders have called
for intervention.

[Erasmus] Follow me!

[Margarita] A nursery is like Noah's Ark.

A place to preserve
for the future the wonders

that are endangered in a ravaged world.

What about them?
Should we leave them here?

Yeah. Someone will find them.

Although...

We could let them go
as a thank you, right?

No.

No, Mach, no. Not a chance.

It's only fair, Fede.

{\an8}[in Krikon] Thank you, Your Majesty.

[in Spanish] Come on.

{\an8}[in Krikon] Stop right there!

{\an8}[tense music playing]

[music concludes]

{\an8}48 HOURS LATER

[Rey] Merlin.

You weren't lucky. [groans]

-I survived.
-[Rey chuckles softly]

[cellphone rings]

-Maika.
-[Maika] How is Merlin?

He'll tell you himself.

Maika.

-[soft music playing]
-You can save your tears. [coughs]

I survived.

Don't be silly. Where are you?
I want to see you.

[Merlin] At a hospital.
You don't need to come.

I'm with a really good nurse.

[coughs]

-Don't worry.
-We'll see each other when I'm better.

You're strong, aren't you?
I'm going to call Mar.

-[soldier speaking Krikon]
-Oh, oh, oh, oh! Wait, wait! Hey, hey!

Put the g*n down!
Put the g*n down! Merlin!

-No, no, no! Put him down!
-[groans]

-Merlin! Merlin!
-[soldiers speaking Krikon]

-Merlin! Merlin!
-[Merlin screams]

Hey! Merlin!

Your performance was excellent.

You'll be handsomely rewarded.

It's been so long...

-And finally, life brought me...
-[dramatic music playing]

...old Máximo.

And his three offspring.

To my own palace.

To uproot them all.

[Margarita] A nursery is an act of faith.

It is believing that,
despite the harsh winter,

spring will come
and everything will be reborn.
