01x05 - Romeo's Place

[bunniefuu]

He loves me

He loves me not

I love him a lot

With all I've got

In every petal

I see his face

Telling me he loves me

He loves me

He loves me

He loves me

He loves me not

The curse of Thistle fell upon you!

Delfina, don't scare me.

Why are you crying?

Give me instructions on how to proceed.

Put the cameras on,

I wanna see who made the cover.

The guys did the cover, Delfina.

No, it wasn't the guys

and don't try to tell me otherwise.

It was done by someone with creativity.

It was done with purpose.

It must have been Daisy.

-She explained well what it was about.

-No, she's not so creative.

That was Daisy, right?

Or Zeki?

Pause it!

Margarita?

What was that girl doing here?

Nobody ask anything and you're going

now to find out where that girl is.

Each plate has

a personalized sticker for each chair.

Got it?

Margarita,

but what is the meaning of all of this?

-It is the reward for triumph, Ada.

-Bravo.

Feels like those souls deserved

a personalized plate after all.

-Just to spoil them a little bit.

-That's such a sweet thing.

And you remember

each one's personal taste?

Shame on you, at this point in the game

you don't know me.

Zeki's a vegan,

so I made him some falafel.

Sasha is still growing,

so lots of protein for him.

And chicken curry for Única.

What?

You may wonder

why I made a favorite dish

for a person

who isn't exactly my favorite,

well, that's just me.

That's you, and you're too nice.

-What happened?

-Merlin didn't like it.

What? He posted that he loved

Arab empanadas.

This is for Romeo.

But Merlin was sitting

in the chair with the green sticker.

That seat was supposed to be Romeo's.

So where's Romeo?

No. I knew this was going to be bad.

Romeo is gone!

-Where'd he go, Ada?

-He gave up the scholarship!

He gave it all up.

Why do you keep looking at her?

It's so obvious that it's her.

She played the role of the good,

loving little girl, very well.

But everyone is realizing

that she's an evil girl

with a thirst for revenge.

She's the Countess of Monte Cristo.

You're out of control.

The Count had three enemies

to take revenge on,

I have the three earls of Krikoragán,

who came to destroy me.

And I can assure you that the triplets

are plotting now!

Stop yelling out tongue twisters.

Calm down.

How do you want me to calm down?

She broke into my house and touched

my things, with the security I have?

How do you want me to calm down

if we can go to prison?

And that's why we have to act cold.

First, we need to find her.

But how?

The city is riddled with cameras

that have facial recognition systems.

And I know many people

who owe me favors.

-Swear to me that you'll find her.

-I swear.

-Swear to me you're not gonna leave me.

-I'm not gonna leave you.

-What is it?

-We have a problem.

Dismantle all of that now, alright?

What's up?

Thank you, you're all geniuses,

you prepared our favorite dish.

How'd you know?

Yeah, I was finally able to eat

tasty vegan food.

They brought me something green.

All boiled.

Romeo doesn't like mixing food colors,

that's why everything was boiled.

I'm so glad you all enjoyed it.

Now I wanna ask you a question

because I don't think

Have you guys noticed

that there's an empty chair here?

Romeo gave up his scholarship

and he went back home.

And none of you guys noticed

anything, right?

What'd you do?

How could it be that just when you're

working on the bullying challenge

you make someone feel

so bad that they wanna go home?

What'd you do? What a let down.

I'm not gonna be the Patron

of a group of people

who segregate their own classmates,

this is not the mission of this place.

On the other hand,

I feel like you have

a very good opportunity in your hands.

So I'm gonna announce

the next challenge now.

The next challenge

Bring Romeo back.

But they're the ones that did this.

Have them go apologize to him.

No, Romeo was on your team and he felt

so bad that he left.

So you're also responsible.

Since all actions

have their consequences,

we're gonna do the following.

Either Romeo returns,

and he rejoins the program,

or one of you loses their scholarship.

Be careful.

See? Nothing happened to them.

They just had a little wave.

Besides, ever since they've been

under my care,

they got used to tsunamis.

Did you drop them? They're very fragile.

It was just a joke.

I took care

of them just like you asked me, okay?

Well, do you wanna

tell me what happened?

I'm just done with that place.

Why? I know

how much you wanted to go.

All those feelings are now gone.

Now I just wanna be here.

Did you see what they did?

Delfina's obviously gotta

be red with disappointment.

With how sweet Romeo was.

I'm gonna turn into sauerkraut

from how angry I feel.

I feel vinegary from just saying it.

That sucks.

How cold does your soul have to be

to give such a heartless reply?

It is what it is.

What we gotta do isn't complicated.

We just have to apologize.

-Yeah.

-He's not gonna listen to us.

-He barely even spoke to you.

-The person who hurt him has to do it.

And it has to be a real apology!

I have no problem apologizing.

I'm very sorry that he felt that bad.

You weren't that sorry,

you got your laughs.

-I didn't laugh.

-You didn't defend him either

when we all know who bullied him here!

The only one who has to say sorry is

the one who messes with others!

Did you say something?

Force me to apologize then.

If he doesn't come back, you leave.

We're gonna see who leaves.

Maybe you'll be following your Romeo

to protect him from evil people like me.

What's with your whole act?

Do you enjoy playing the villain

or acting like a bad guy?

I'm not doing anything, guys.

I'm actually helping him.

He's a soft person.

Life is a jungle,

if you don't toughen up,

they eat you up.

A little empathy, man!

He's weak.

I mean, I messed up pretty bad too.

How could I not realize he wasn't there?

How could I not have noticed

that he was gone?

Well

Enough, Pipe!

Why all these telegraph texts?

They don't charge per word.

I've been pouring my heart out

about what's happening to me

and you just, "Well, that sucks."

I am not asking

you just to listen to me, okay?

I'm asking you for compassion,

I'm asking you for some empathy,

some sort of advice, anything, Pipe.

Okay.

Stop, that's enough!

The moon in Aries

clearly fueled this tension.

It would be best for someone

with more Piscean energy

to go and apologize.

The king of the monkeys should do it!

-I'm out.

-Where are you going?

To handle this mess.

As always, Única is

the only one who solves stuff.

-Let's go.

-Bye.

Hi.

Is Romi here? My name's Única.

Her friend from the Hangar. And I came

to talk about what happened

Yeah, I know Delfina

sent you to convince him,

but he doesn't want to come back,

and when Romeo says no, it means no.

Yeah.

I can imagine how our buddy's feeling.

But believe me,

no one can ever resist me.

-Let me talk to

-No!

Impossible.

She slammed the door in my face.

Because you weren't natural.

You're basically plastic.

Yeah, you're right, you go then, idiot.

Hey, how are you?

My name's Zeki, I'm a friend of Romeo's.

-May I talk to

-No.

-For the tiniest minute, and

-No.

Hello, I'm Mei.

I wanted to say that I feel very sorry.

I'd like to talk to him

-and explain that I didn't make fun

-No.

We're great pals.

We share a room,

so tell him Otto's here

No.

Neither my aunt nor I are gonna allow

this to happen again.

No one will ever bother Romeo.

I'm Daisy.

No.

He loves me, everyone loves me,

I bet you already love me.

-May you tell him to come out?

-No.

Dear Lord.

No.

N-O.

Look at his best friend.

The savior. Look at his success.

You're the last one, Rey.

And who are you?

I've never seen you in my life.

The Duster's right.

Just go.

-Hi.

-Not you. Especially not you.

But I

All of you, go.

Whatever, one will have to go.

I guess that's life.

-It is what it is.

-I already know what to do.

I have an idea.

Romi, my darling.

All your friends are right here

and we made this just for you.

Hope you like it.

For that heart

That heart

Growing larger

With love's start

For that heart

Red heart

Walking towards

The sun's bright gold

Heart, my heart

Don't be caught in their fray

Heart, my heart

For love they cannot convey

Attention, SOS!

Margarita needs help

ASAP from Fiery Fairy.

We're listening.

Fiery Fairy,

what do you do when you feel powerless?

Because I'm an erupting volcano,

and I dunno how to deal with the anger

that I'm feeling.

It's not wrong to get upset

with injustice.

But the most important thing is

what we do with that anger.

I'd like you to ask me

before you do some things.

In what possible world,

do you think that an employee of mine

can tell me how to do things

in my company?

Hold on, I'm not your employee.

I am your advisor.

Maybe you might not be very used

to being told what you do wrong,

but this is my job, Delfina.

And what did I do wrong?

This challenge with Romeo.

Why? I thought we had agreed on it.

No, we never agreed on that.

We agreed on talking to everyone first,

so that they could take charge,

and assume the consequences.

-That's what I did.

-You didn't,

because if Romeo doesn't come back,

we'll kick someone else out.

You're turning this

into a cruel and pointless game.

But did you see the number

of views and interactions we had?

Yes, I saw them.

It's my job to.

-But at what cost?

-I have no idea.

We cannot turn this

into a savage competition.

Because it's patronage.

Okay, give me a second.

Severino, are you here yet? So come up.

-Could you tell me who that guy is?

-Who?

Severino.

I see him here,

and I don't know if he works here,

if he's a benefactor, or

if he's your boyfriend.

-This is ridiculous.

-What?

This just hasn't happened

to me in a very long time.

Do you wanna know?

-It's strange

-Yes, indeed.

-Absolute strange.

-Very strange.

-Strange.

-So strange.

You know what?

I think it's best if I go.

-I had to be very generous.

-How?

With a contact I have

at the monitoring center

-so he'd give me access to the system.

-Let's see.

We have to add an image of Margarita

in there and voilà.

The system will issue

an alarm when a camera recognizes her.

Good.

Is that her? Zoom into it.

-Okay, do it.

Yeah.

-Do something!

-Okay.

ORPHANAGE

Pipe.

Pips.

Pippon.

Well, since you keep ignoring me,

this mountain had no choice

but to come to Muhammad.

If you don't answer me, I'm going in.

I don't believe you.

What are you doing here?

You'll be spotted.

-And you're gonna let them catch me?

-What do you want?

-For you to escape.

-No, I can't.

You always can, Pipe.

Wait for me in the back.

Hey, why are you so angry?

You're gonna start looking old.

Don't be like this.

Fiery Fairy, could you tell me

why Pipe gets in these hurricane moods?

-I don't think this is funny.

-All because I said

you were my boyfriend.

They don't know you.

-Don't be so dramatic.

-It bothered me.

Understand me.

It was so that Merlin would forget

about me and focus on Daisy.

I don't care.

Now, tell me

what you needed me for, period!

-For this.

-What do I have to do?

Since they don't know you,

you're gonna deliver these little gifts

that I bought at the flea market.

While I go do some other things.

Go home, kids. I'm serious.

Come on, grab the bag.

That's exactly it.

Can you?

Rodriguez family, I have a delivery.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

The kids outside left you a letter.

You wanna read it?

-Did you order something?

-No.

Let's see. Let's see what it says.

Open it.

I'll leave you.

Call me if you need anything?

We did everything.

I even wrote a musical for him.

We went one by one to ask for him.

We even wrote him a super sweet letter,

but nothing.

As you didn't meet the challenge,

one of you is gonna leave the Hangar.

Thank goodness

this doesn't depend on me.

You'll decide who has to leave.

-What?

-Us?

Just call me if you're really curious.

You called me.

I knew you were all curious-ey.

The word is curious.

Well, I just get confused.

Do you know who this is?

Because of your particular way

of speaking, yes.

You're Margarita Martinez.

You remembered

my first and last name too.

Did you bring me all this stuff?

How did you know I'm into that?

Well, I just listened to you

and I paid attention to you.

And I think I kinda got to know you.

If there's anything you need,

I'm in front of your house.

If you wanna open up, I'll come.

Yes, come in.

These are beautiful.

What are they called?

-Axolotls.

-No, I mean their names.

Picasso and Frida.

Like Frida Kahlo? I love it!

I'm not going back, you know.

And I'll support you

in whatever you decide, you know.

But let's chat.

-Did the guys write to you?

-I'm not interested in reading it.

And me? Can I?

You know I'm more curious than you.

This was Merlin.

-He's such a sweetheart.

-Are you in love with Merlin?

No.

They aren't bad people.

They just drop the ball.

Where do they drop the ball?

No

I forget that metaphor stuff

is hard for you.

You take everything literally

and I can't stop using metaphors.

So

What I'm trying to say is that kids

today are not gonna change.

I'm not gonna lie.

Nobody changes from one day to the next.

But I do think you should go back.

And not just because it's something

you want and actually enjoy a lot.

But because it'll be good for you.

And you will be good for them.

You can teach them a lot.

And not just them,

those folks watching at home do too.

But I'm not a teacher.

I don't teach anything.

We're all teachers of something.

And we all learned from someone.

The truth is that we all have

difficulties relating to each other.

Sometimes you expect people

to put themselves in our shoes,

but it's better to throw the shoes

over their heads.

-You want me to throw shoes?

-I mean metaphorical shoes.

I don't get you.

Maybe you should tell them

what's going on.

What you're feeling,

the things that hurt you.

I already told you I wasn't going back.

And I said I'd support your decision.

Here, so you don't complain

about anything later.

What's the idea?

-Are we staying here as squatters?

-No.

When I get my first paycheck,

we're gonna rent something.

Well, now you stay here like a statue

And I'll be back.

Hey. Hello, stranger.

Hey, Merlin.

I can't chat,

I left the fire on the pot.

Stop, stop.

I wanted to ask you something.

You told me you had a boyfriend.

Pipe?

Then why do you call him your friend

in your social media posts?

Of course, that's just

a linguistic dyslexia that I have,

because I grew up with so many languages

that sometimes I get confused.

And how does that work?

It's easy.

In English boyfriend has two words,

the word "boy" and the word "friend".

Sometimes I call him "friend"

and I forget to add the "boy"

-or vice versa.

-Why do you lie?

-Who?

-You.

It's obvious that Pipe is

just your friend.

A friend in all the languages.

I'm too busy for all this language talk.

Excuse me, friend.

Friend? So if I'm your friend

I could be your boyfriend.

No.

Friend, amigo, amico.

Why, if we like each other, Margarita?

Because a friend of mine likes you,

and a friend is more important

than a boyfriend.

Like Romeo, we have a hard time

understanding that metaphor.

Being in someone else's shoes.

To understand profoundly

what someone else feels.

-Is this all of you?

-We're missing Merlin, Auntie.

I'm right here.

Very well.

Take out your cell phones and vote.

Today one of you guys is leaving.

This Merlin kid gives me

such a bad feeling.

If I could vote, I would vote for Rey.

He's so darn conceited.

No, Ada, no one has to leave.

Romeo just has to come back.

You're right, dear.

I almost fell

into this evil game of hers.

Alright, here are the results.

I got six votes for Rey.

And six votes for Merlin.

Can you get your cell phones again?

You need to change your votes.

Voting is once again open,

somebody has to leave today.

Auntie, we can't vote. It's unfair.

Ro, you came back.

I'm Romeo,

I'm a fine artist and I make sculptures.

He's on the autism spectrum.

I don't think

it's a good idea to choose him.

ON THE SPECTRUM

MY PERSONAL SPACE

Romeo, why don't you join us?

Move it. Talk to a wall

and you'll get a bigger reaction.

INVASION OF MY SPACE

I turned the volume up to an odd number.

Watch where you walk.

WHY?

I don't eat anything orange.

Eat this candy, come on.

Just try it, give it a try!

I don't wanna go to that place anymore.

I just wanna be here now.

Thank you for what you just did.

Today, thanks to you,

we were all able to see

the world through your eyes.

I'm very glad that they convinced

you to come back.

It wasn't them though.

So who was it?

Margarita.

She did the best audition

and you rejected her,

quite inexplicably.

Welcome back.

Sorry, the decibels.

Welcome back, Romeo.

And forgive us for not listening

to you sooner.

-Thank you.

-I'll see you tomorrow.

Merlin,

I'm really glad you're still here.

If you had to leave, I swear

I would've quit and given you my place.

Thank you.

-But I should give my place to you.

-Why do you say that?

Nothing, don't listen to me.

Come on, why did you say that?

What would be your place?

I meant to say

that I'd like you to come to my place

and that one day,

you get to see where I live.

I would love to, anytime.

Sounds good.

Let's set it up, then.

Okay.

That idiot will fall eventually.

Focus on yourself, will you?

-I don't know, he's up to something.

-What do you mean, Rey?

Look.

How many things have we done so far?

A ton. And he's not in any of them.

He hides himself.

He leaves, I don't know.

It's as if he didn't want to be

on camera.

He's either hiding

or hiding something.

And I'm gonna find out.

Hey, girlfriend, are you in the kitchen?

I have to tell you something.

It happened.

Merlin invited me to his house.

He told me I could go and see his place.

So, I'm gonna grab some clothes

from my aunt, who has awesome stuffs.

Do you see what she's doing?

She wants to drive me crazy,

she wants to mess with my mind.

She's slowly simmering me to death.

-You're too paranoid.

-Did you see what she did?

She went to Romeo's house

and convinced him to come back.

And what happened

with the cameras isn't normal.

She controls all the security cameras.

A girl her age couldn't do

something like that.

Well she could.

She had so much time to set all this up.

To think about every detail,

like Monte Cristo.

You really gotta drop the Monte Cristo.

I think that she knows we usurped

her place and came to get it back,

but I'm not gonna allow her

to destroy me.

I'm not gonna let all the work

we had to put in with Daisy

to be in vain.

No!

What are you talking about?

You really should've seen it, Pipe.

He came in so bravely, and I think

what he did was so beautiful.

So

So transparent.

And all thanks to you.

You're so amazing.

Only you can get to know someone

so well in such a short time.

It doesn't take much time.

You just have to watch and listen.

And you listen to everyone, except me.

Why do you say that, Pipe?

You're the one I look at the most,

the one I listen to the most,

the one I talk to the most.

Why do you think that?

Hey, answer me.

I heard your chat with Merlin.

And then what Daisy told you.

That's tough.

Yeah.

She's got her hopes up so high.

And there he is falling in love

with the wrong girl.

It's really hard for me

to keep sustaining this.

For her it is even harder.

I mean, I put myself in her place.

What do you mean, Pipe?

Well, that

Being in love with someone who's never

gonna give you a chance is complicated.

And I don't wanna be

in that position anymore.

Pipe, are you telling me

what I think you're telling me?

You're telling me that I never saw,

that I never figured out

something that was

right in front of my eyes?

Pipe,

are you in love with me?

Sometimes, even the most alert people

can miss things.

I was so worried because no one put

themselves in Romeo's place

and I couldn't see

that I had Pipe suffering over me.

My friend

So blue

The star has faded, sadly

Hopscotch game

No more

And we followed her

Through the night

I don't want to lose

My genuine smile

The dreams I hide

Or spring's gentle light

I don't want to grow up

Hurt and broken

With fears unspoken

Life's pace awoken

Mirror, mirror, please be true

Who am I?

Am I just one

Or are there two of us?

Are we many

All in one?

Who am I

When the day is done?

The invisible

The flawless

The one they desire

Or am I me?

The one who thinks

She doesn't exist

Or the one who shouts

"Here I am"?

No present

Nor past

Just a tale of princesses

With a charming prince

Mirror, mirror

Who am I?

Who they desire

Or am I me?

Who they desire

Or am I me?

I don't want to dream

Of a world in hiding

Awake to live

But today I'm asleep

If upon waking

My life has been stolen

I'll set out to find it

No more lies spoken

Mirror, mirror, please, be true

Who am I?

Am I just one

Or are there two of us?

Are we many

All in one?

Who am I

When the day is done?

The invisible

The flawless

The one they desire

Or am I me?

The one who thinks

She doesn't exist

Or the one who shouts

"Here I am"?

No present

Nor past

Just a tale of princesses

With a charming prince

Mirror, mirror

Who am I?

Who they desire

Or am I me?

Who they desire

Or am I me?

Who they desire

Or am I me?
