01x10 - Light Years

[bunniefuu]

-Say Freaky.
-[all] Freaky!

After tonight,
your life is going to change forever.

PREVIOUSLY

[applause]

Mom said she lost everything that night.

She lost you.

[Cocó] Caterina was never able
to understand me.

Maybe you could start here.

"Light Years"
A Novel by Caterina Sharp

[Marco] I'm writing a new song,

and I thought that maybe
you might want to listen to it.

You know that I don't really like
for you to do those things.

Your dad has to understand you.
Why don't you tell him the truth?

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

I invested a fortune in this show.

People want to see
the two Sharp women together onstage.

-[gasps]
-I don't feel right betraying Tomás.

This is show business.
Tomás will understand perfectly.

You destroyed our relationship,
and you destroyed my career.

And I swear you will regret it.

And you too.

You have no idea what I'm capable of.

[Allegra] I think what happened
on opening day was no accident.

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

I love you.

[Allegra] That night destroyed
the theater and my family.

There's still time
to change what happened.

INTERTWINED

[coughing]

[panting]

[Allegra] No, no, no.
This can't be happening.

THREE HOURS EARLIER

[applause]

[man] Bravo!

-[cheering]
-[man 2] Bravo!

[man 2] Bravo!

[chatter]

-Congratulations.
-Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.

Where is my favorite actress?
I want to give her a hug.

Marvelous. Absolutely marvelous.
Absolutely. No, no, the emotion...

I can't believe you're back.
You were incredible. Congratulations.

I think you owe someone an apology.

You're right.
I know it was wrong, and I'm sorry.

I'm not talking about me.

And you? Where did you run off to?

I was in the audience. Congratulations.

Why did you give your part to Caterina?

There are more important things
than the lead in a play.

You never stop surprising me.

All right. You can go home now.

Why the rush
when opening night was such a success?

Tomás told me
there was going to be a party.

-Obviously.
-Marco.

You promised me that as soon
as the play was over, you would go.

Yes, but in a bit.
Now, we're going to party.

I need you to trust me and leave now.

But are you going to at least explain why?

Wait for me at home. If I don't make it
for some reason, find Lucía.

She's Caterina's grandmother.
She'll explain it to you.

Okay, okay. I'm going to change and go.

But I'll wait for you at home
so I can show you my new song.

See you later. [blows kiss]

Why did you steal the part of Ellie
from me if you didn't even want it?

[scoffs] You wouldn't understand.

Leave her alone, sweetie. She's fickle.

-Have you seen Caterina?
-She went into Cocó's dressing room.

[sighs] I thought it was impossible

and that it was all
going to turn out wrong, but I did it.

I managed to change the past.

I managed to get Marco out of the theater

and stop the falling out
between Caterina and Cocó.

Why are you looking at me like that?
It worked.

Time can be deceptive.

I just know that this is why
the bracelet brought me to this time.

I don't want you to get your hopes up.

Laura, can you explain to me why
you disappeared like that? What happened?

-Come with me.
-Coming. I'll see you later.

In Search of Lost Time.
If you want to know more, look there.

STAGE
DRESSING ROOMS

-[female student] Thank you. See you.
-[Marco] You're welcome.

-[female student 2] Bye.
-[Marco] See you.

[Franco] So you were studying
with your classmates, huh?

I thought it was just
a rebellious teenage phase, nothing more.

That he needed a little more discipline.

If I had talked to him, instead of...

I know it's hard,

but if you could tell me
what you remember about opening night.

Anything at all.

Not a day goes by
that I don't think of that night.

Weren't you going to study
with your classmates?

Wasn't that it? I went to the university
to look for you. You weren't there.

When I get there, I find out you were
suspended due to absences.

You failed the admission course.

Dad, I can explain what happened.

What are you going to explain? Huh?

You told me you were going.
It was a lie. Are you going to lie again?

But I tried to tell you the truth,
but you wouldn't listen.

You never listen to me.

Ah. So it's my fault. And what's this?

Tell me what this is.
What is this? What is this?

You went through my things?

You left me no choice, Marco!

I don't even recognize you.
Look at you. I don't know who you are.

I do know who I am.

And I'm tired of hiding.

And I had big plans for you.

A university degree,
a sure future at the finance agency.

-All handed to you...
-But I don't want that!

Don't you understand
that I never wanted that?

Can you understand that this is my life?
Please. I'm asking you.

I'm going to decide
what I want to do with my future!

Can you listen to the music that I make?
Please.

-It's the only way you can understand me.
-You will stop that!

And go change. All right?
Take that garbage off your face.

You look ridiculous.

And starting tomorrow, full time
at the finance agency. Is that clear?

No.

No, what?

Don't defy me, Marco. All right?

If you want to continue living at home,
you have to follow my rules.

Very well.

Then I don't want to see you again.

You've let me down, Marco, you know that?
You're not the son I hoped for.

You're not.

I will never forgive myself.

Ever.

After that, he got his things
and came here, to the theater.

So, that night Marco... died?

All the investigators found
was the pick with his initials.

I'm sorry to insist.

But some of his friends thought
he had run off with a girl. Laura.

No, no, no, no. He... He wouldn't do that.

We had our differences,
but... he was a good person.

That's why I had a headstone
with his name placed in the cemetery.

I needed a place
where I could go to visit him.

Yes. Thank you for telling me this.

I-I know it's not easy. No.

It's good for me to remember my son,
you know?

And well,
that girl was very important to him.

And it's the least I can do for you...
To help you with the documentary.

Wait. Wait, because there's...

there's something else.

[knocking, door opens]

I am so proud of you.

Mom.

I was right. You just had to be confident
and face your fears.

You don't understand at all.

I don't want to be
a musical theater actress.

I won't be getting back on stage again.

If you give up your career
in musical theater,

you'll regret it
for the rest of your life.

You're wrong.

Do you know how much others would give
to have the opportunity you have?

And you're going to give it up to write...
nonsense in a notebook?

It's my decision.

No, it's not.

You're a minor.
So you're coming with me on tour.

-You can't do this to me.
-The decision is made.

It's for your own good.

One day you'll thank me.

Why should I thank you?

Because you tried to buy off Oliverio so
that he wouldn't let me join his workshop?

Because you manipulated my boyfriend
to get me to come back to the play?

-No, Caterina. I didn't...
-And now,

you want to force me to go on tour
for who knows how long,

knowing that this means giving up
the best thing that's ever happened to me?

You're not my mom. You're a curse.

-Caterina.
-I don't want to talk right now.

[knocking, door opens]

I need to be alone.

-I have to talk to you.
-It's not a good time.

[sighs]

I've imagined this moment
since Caterina was born.

The two of us together, on stage.

Do you know what it cost me
to get where I am?

I didn't have a mom
that paved the way for me.

You had a mom
that respected your decision.

Caterina was brave enough
to risk everything for her dream.

That's what makes a true Sharp.

That's what you did.

There's still time
to save your relationship with her.

I've never seen Marco like this.
He was fighting with his dad.

You could see he arrived
just before the ending,

and the ending wasn't the least bit happy.

-Sparks flew. It was terrible...
-Where did Marco go?

She never supported me. Ever.

She's always been so selfish.
She only worries about herself.

Stop.
I think you're being a little unfair.

Cocó saved Eleven O'Clock.
She got Mike to produce the tour.

Exactly. She saved her company.
She had it all planned.

She was negotiating with Mike
long before the fire at the theater.

She wanted to ruin my life.

She has no morals.

And she showed it again
when she betrayed Tomás.

Did you ever want to talk to her,
get closer? I don't know, maybe...

For what? Cocó put her career
and her interests before everything.

Always. Even her family.

We all have to take responsibility
for our own decisions.

Cocó! [chuckles]

You were right, huh?
Opening night was a tremendous success.

And Caterina came back to the company.

Frankly,
I don't know how you convinced her.

I already thanked Laura
for giving up her spot.

Caterina isn't going to stay
with the company.

What?

I can't force my daughter
to live a life she doesn't want.

What great timing, no?

To... To choose to have an epiphany
about how to be a model mother.

With Caterina onstage...

success is guaranteed.

The decision is made.

Cocó... please.

I'm begging you.

I can't. I'm so sorry, Tomás.

You're going to regret it
much more when I call my lawyer.

-What?
-You forgetting we have a signed contract?

-Did you forget that?
-I can't believe it.

And the contract very clearly says
that Caterina has to be in the play.

And that she also has to be on tour. Huh?

Tomás,
we've known each other our whole lives.

-Please. What are you saying?
-It's nothing personal.

It's business. That's all.

She's my daughter,

and I am going to respect her decision.
Whatever the cost.

-Excuse me. What are you doing? Get...
-Please, Tomás!

I have to say something very import...

[sighs]

Come on. Come with us.
Everyone is going to the Galleria.

-We're going to party there.
-All right, all right. Let's go.

I never understood why you allied yourself
with my mom to get the role of Adam.

For us.
I didn't want to be separated from you.

I dreamed of traveling the world together,
going on tour. I didn't want to lose you.

You never told me that.

[Bárbara] Silence!

Cheers to Eleven O'Clock.

-Whoo!
-[cheering]

Relax, sweetie.
Orange juice. I've learned.

Hey.

[Bárbara] Did you see
how many people were there?

Are you ever going to forgive me?

-Definitely not tonight.
-[Bárbara] Incredible. I can't believe it.

I decided to accept your proposal.

Ah, good. I thought
you would never betray your friend.

There was a change of plans.

And right on opening day.

I love unexpected twists.

I still have the rights to the play.

But there's one problem.

I already signed the contract with Tomás
for the tour in Caterina's name.

That doesn't have to be an issue.

All we need...

is a stroke of luck.

[Cocó] She's my daughter,

and I am going to respect her decision.
Whatever the cost.

[Diego] I tried to tell you,
but you didn't want to listen to me.

That doesn't justify
what you did to Marco.

You stole the role of Adam from him.

-That was your mom.
-Yes, I know. And you agreed.

Yes, I know.

Justification is always easier
than confrontation.

If I had done things differently,
he would be here with us today.

I made a series of bad decisions.
One after the other.

[chatter]

Have you seen Marco?

-Don't even say his name. He's the worst.
-Have you seen him or not?

What do I know? I don't know.
He came by a bit ago, on foot.

He wanted to sleep at the record store,

-but I told him no.
-Why?

Because I'm sick of his attitude.

I always have to be covering for him.
I don't feel like it.

[panting]

[crackles]

Is Allegra here?

No, sweetie. It's just Dad and me.

Are you sure? You didn't hear a noise
or see a flash of light or anything?

Huh?

[panting]

[sighs]

[coughing]

-Hey, where are you going?
-Let me through! I have to go in there!

No. It's too dangerous.
I just called the fire department.

My friend is inside!

Don't worry. There's no one left inside.
Let's go. Please. Please!

[coughing]

[panting]

CONTROL
ROOM

[coughs, gasps]

Marco! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Marco! Marco! Marco!

[coughing]

-Marco!
-[coughs]

-Let's go. Let's go. We have to go.
-What happened?

We have to go. It's on fire.
Let's go. Now! Now, now, now. Let's go.

-[gasps]
-Now what?

[both coughing]

[clattering]

[creaking]

No, no, no. This can't be happening.

Marco, I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
I messed everything up.

Here.

I love you, Laura.

-No, no, no, no, no. Please, not now.
-What's happening? What's that?

[Lucía] No one without the bracelet
can cross the time barrier.

[Allegra gasps]

[Allegra sighs]

[gasps]

Oh, Marco. [sobbing]

[crying]

Are you okay?

[sobbing]

Magic Ink

[footsteps approaching]

Lucía was right.

Time is deceptive.

The past can't be changed.

[bracelet whirring]

-Try...
-Yes.

-No.
-No.

[sighs]

But... Wait.

So, there was never a version
of '94 without you?

I guess not.

It sounds weird,

but it seems like I was always there,
traveling from 2021.

That's why Greta remembered you. Hmm?
And you appeared on the VHS tapes.

I wasn't changing the past.

That was always the past.

Of course.

But if I never had even
the slightest chance of changing anything,

why did the bracelet take me there?

And... Trying to understand
the Sharp women is impossible. Hmm?

A waste of time, I would say.

Yes. That's it.

-What?
-Félix, you're a genius.

Why?

What are you doing now, Allegra?

In Search of Lost Time. They're books.

Books?

That's what Lucía meant.

Books?

IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME
AND TIME REGAINED

And?

This is not the time to create suspense,
Allegra. What does it say?

"Dear Allegra.

We just said goodbye in the theater,
and I don't know if I'll see you again.

I would have loved
to be with you in person

to tell you the end of my story,
which is also yours, but I couldn't."

[Lucía] Eusebio wasn't
only the love of my life.

He was much more than that.

He was the father of my daughter.

Wow. Good plot twist.

"Cocó never got to meet her father."

[sighs]

[voice breaking] "Meeting you, Allegra,
was the greatest gift of my life.

I tried to guide you so you wouldn't make
the same mistake I made.

I'm sorry I couldn't help you more,
but you had to make your own way."

Now I understand.

I don't.

The bracelet did help me change something.

Me.

[whirring]

[sighs]

[phone vibrates, chimes]

There's something I forgot to tell you.
It's about the audition.

Let's just say that Sofía
had an attack of conscience.

She kept her word. You can audition.

They must have called you, you know.
The audition is now.

I can't get on a stage right now.

This is a song by Marco.
His dad lent it to me.

He's kept it since opening night
when they got into that fight.

NEW SONG

It wouldn't be the first time
you were late, would it?

[announcer]
Continuing with the final audition

participant number 94, Allegra Sharp.

[exhales]

[upbeat music playing]

[woman] It's a matter of time.

It's a matter of time.

It's a matter of time.

-[music ends]
-[panting]

[sighs]

[exhales]

[applause]

[Caterina] Allegra.

Mom, forgive me.
I was going to tell you, but...

No, I'm the one that should apologize.
What you just did was so moving.

I can't believe you're here.

How did you find out?

[Diego] Allegra.

What you just did was incredible.

Where did you get that song?

Cocó. [sighs]

Not just anyone can improvise
with such grace. You were impeccable.

I thought Cocó had left.

Me too.
I don't know what she's doing here.

I would bow before the queen
of musical theater and her progeny.

But unfortunately,
we must continue with the auditions.

I'm sorry. Where is Sofía?

[Allegra] Sofía.

Are you okay?

Leave me alone.

Go away, please.

I'm not going to leave you like this.

They're looking for you. It's your turn.

I can't audition after what you just did.

What did I do?

You were perfect.

I can't go out there now.

My mom is right.
It's really hard to beat you.

Greta told you that?

It doesn't make sense to compare.
We have different styles.

And I'm sure that you've been preparing
for this moment for months.

You can't give up now.

I can't do it anymore.

I don't want to face my mom.

I'll never be like her,
and I don't want to let her down.

You don't have to be like her.

You have to trust yourself.

And if you can't do that right now,
then trust me.

You're very good.

Onstage.

[chuckles]

I want my mom to believe in me,

to see all the effort I put
into getting better.

But none of that is enough.

Sofía.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me. I never wanted to hurt you.

I always thought I was helping you and...

You are brilliant at everything you do...

and I'm very proud of you.

[sniffs]

I was looking for you. You were great.

Thank you.
I couldn't have done it without you.

Um, what happened?

I'll explain later.

I need to ask you a favor.
I promise it's the very last one.

[sighs]

Okay. [chuckles]

[tape rewinding]

[Alan] What's up, brother?
What are you doing?

Nothing. Personal stuff. Nothing.

And those prehistoric tapes?

These... The... References for a short
I'm making. Nothing. Just personal stuff.

Okay, good. Is there a new story coming?

I'm not the only one. You too...

Congratulations
for getting into Eleven O'Clock. Good job.

I'm going to miss you when I go on tour.

-Me too. Don't get any ideas. I'm crying.
-Crying?

Yes, I feel terrible. I feel...

-My little brother.
-No, no, no.

-What's wrong with you?
-Enough, enough.

Sorry. Wanna get something to eat?

-[Félix] Let's do it.
-[Alan] Did you eat yet?

[Félix] No, but I'm dying
of hunger anyway and...

It gives me chills to be here.

After everything that happened.

A little karma wouldn't hurt you.

Where do you get all this sarcasm?

A legacy from my Sharp upbringing.

Silence.

What more do you two need
to understand each other?

Do you need to switch bodies
like in Freaky Friday?

There's something important
I have to show you.

That's why I asked you to come.

You two have been distant for a long time.

Since that night...

Allegra,
I don't know what lies Cocó has told you...

Enough! I didn't tell her anything!

Can I speak, please?

I have recordings
from the security cameras.

They were here,
with all the things that Bárbara saved.

It's all on tape.

Up to the time the cameras
were disconnected before the fire.

Félix?

[cell phone beeps]

[beeps]

[Cocó] We've known each other
our whole lives. Please.

[Tomás] It's nothing personal.
It's business. That's all.

[Cocó] She's my daughter.
And I am going to respect her decision,

whatever the cost.

You're not going to ruin me.

[Tomás] Either Caterina stays in the play

or you're going to need
to hire a good lawyer.

Do what you have to do, Tomás.
I'm going to support my daughter.

The truth is that Cocó
didn't act out of selfishness.

She tried to protect you from Tomás.

He wanted you to continue in the company.

Tomás was desperate.

He had invested a lot more than he had
and his creditors were pressuring him.

He was counting
on having Cocó Sharp's heir on stage,

but when I assured him that wasn't going
to happen...

he lost his mind.

He destroyed the theater.

I guess to collect the insurance.

I can't believe it.

I spent years convinced
that the reality was otherwise.

Blaming you.

I don't know... I don't know what to say.

[Allegra] You could start by apologizing.

You, too, Cocó. You owe my mom an apology.

You were never able to understand her.

And you weren't there for her
when she needed you most.

Forgive me, Caterina.

I put too much pressure on you.

Thank you for having the courage

to defend your dreams
and not give in to mine.

I never told you...

but I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

I am so proud of you, daughter.

And that you auditioned
for Eleven O'Clock.

I don't want to join Eleven O'Clock.

-What?
-What do you mean?

After everything you fought for?

Cocó put her work above her family.

And you, Mom, did the opposite.
I was always your priority.

I want to continue in theater.

But I don't want to be separated
from you two.

That's why I asked you to come here.
I have a proposal.

A FEW MONTHS LATER

[female reporter] We're here at
the reopening of Tomás Diz's old theater,

after the fire.

And with nothing more
and nothing less than

the return of Cocó Sharp to the stage.

And she won't be alone.

[chattering]

[shutters clicking]

LIGHT YEARS

[shutter clicks]

-[door opens]
-[Félix] Knock knock. [chuckles]

Félix. [chuckles] Hi.

I came to wish you luck.

Or is it bad luck
to wish someone good luck in the theater?

I never got that. So no...

For me, it's good luck for you
to come see me before I go onstage. So...

I haven't told you the best thing yet.
Something really weird happened.

I got a letter from the university

with a date for an interview
for the scholarship.

And what's weird about that?

I never made the short.
I never sent in anything.

Um, I forgot to tell you.

I sent your mockumentary
about the actress that fails her director.

You can't be mad
because it all worked out.

Now I understand why the jury
congratulated me on the special effects.

[Allegra chuckles]

Thank you.

No. You have nothing to thank me for.

What's more, I still owe you.
You never abandoned me this whole time.

I couldn't have, even if I wanted to.
[chuckles]

All right, all right, all right,
all right.

Did I miss an episode?

Félix, what are you doing here?
And in yellow, no less?

Don't you know that yellow is bad luck
in the theater?

It's mustard. And I'm pretty sure
that's only for the actors.

You can wait for her in the audience.
We're on in five.

-And change your clothes, sweetie.
-[Félix sighs]

[sighs]

Good luck.

[Bárbara] Let's go.

We're back, Dad. We're back.

[clears throat]

All right. It's time.

-All the seats are filled.
-[gasps]

Thank you.
Thank you for joining this madhouse.

I'm happy to be a part of this madhouse
that is just getting started.

So I'll leave you all to get ready. Okay?
Break a leg.

-Thank you.
-Let's go.

I can't believe it. I've never performed
for such a large audience.

-I've never performed for an audience!
-[chuckles]

I don't know what I was thinking
when I agreed

to adapt the nonsense I wrote
in my notebook into a musical.

I don't know what I was thinking
when I said all those terrible things.

Well, fortunately,
we were able to rewrite history.

That's right.

-Well, can I call you Grandma now?
-Never.

-[groans]
-[Cocó laughs]

Allegra, enjoy this moment.

Nothing compares to the feeling
of being about to go onstage.

-For you, because you're used to it!
-No, I'm nervous too.

It's the first time I've directed
and acted in my own theater.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[laughs]

-[applause]
-[clock ticking]

"Over time,
she forgot all of her trips to the past.

Everything she had lived through
became a blur in her memory.

She only remembered him.

That love that was born in the past grew
and transformed into the love she felt

for her daughter.

She liked to think that that same love
would continue traveling through time.

When she looked at her daughter
for the first time,

she felt that she was entering an area
that was unknown and unsettling,

but at the same time,
serene and full of promise."
