03x08 - Your Story

[bunniefuu]

A WORK BY CRIS MORENA

MARGARITA: MAKE YOUR STORY COUNT

Margarita!

Mar, Mar, Marga, Margarita

Mar, Mar, Marga, Margarita

Mar, Mar, Marga, Margarita

Mar, Margarita

The one who doesn't need anything

And grows up alone
All alone, all alone

There's plenty of love in her petals

Mar, Mer, Madeleine

Sounds good even in Latin

And their love filled
the garden with daisies

A love without an end

Mar, Mar, Marga, Margarita

No more excuses, you've gotta get out

There's time to let go, jump out, fly

Don't be naive, living in lies

A cynical life surrounds you, lifeless

I can't see, I can't feel, I can't hear

Can't find, can't vibe
Can barely breathe

Mommy, dear.

It must've been difficult
being there all those days.

I brought you your favorite whisky.

That should cheer you up.

Mommy! Mom!

Go cry, sweetheart, go cry.

Go cry, Delfina. She's an idiot.

I'm going to show her
what kind of man she's losing.

But my dear Delfina is flying solo,
Sever-handsome.

Just to cut us out of the fortune,
that's all.

Which is we have to make her see
there's nothing she can do on her own.

Heart on fire, just feeling desire

King without a crown

Heart without a key

Won't forgive, you see

Draw out your fraud dressed as king

Faceless disguises, paper masks

They just want fame, a fake life

Life gets away while you live a lie

Mommy, it's me.

Mom?

Mom.

She doesn't want to speak to you.
So start praying, Delfina.

Just pray.

Yes. I'm completely broken.

But failure is only part of the stories
of all great empires.

Oh, no.

I'll give you some privacy.
Call me if you need me, okay?

Ma, I'm here.

What were you talking about?

First, I really hope you don't hate us

for keeping this from you
all these years, honey.

But, you guys knew
the truth about my origins,

and kept it from me all this time?

No, we didn't lie to you.

When we adopted you, they only gave us

one single condition:
that we protect you.

Because, for some reason,
your life was in danger.

Why? Please, mom, I beg you.

Don't beat around the bush.

I really need to know the truth.

It's just that nobody has
the whole truth.

Different people know
certain parts of this truth.

And I think it's time, my love.

I'm gonna tell you
everything I know about you.

YOUR STORY

I'm right.

We're the same.

I know the high price you paid for this.

Congratulations.

I can't stand you looking
at me like that. Don't listen to Unica.

No, I don't care
about Unica's gossiping.

There are two Margaritas
at w*r inside me.

One wants to believe,
while the other struggles to.

But anyway, I guess we all

have that sort of duality, right?

No, not me. I don't have two Reys.
I have just one.

The same as always.

We already told you, sir.
You can't go inside.

I won't leave until I see Margarita.

-You can't.
-Let me go.

Alright, alright.

Okay. I get it.

So, this whole megashow Delfina set up
for you doesn't look like a prize?

Do you mean I don't deserve it?

That I'm not talented?

That it's some prize
for betraying Merlin?

Is it?

Think what you want.

-Mar!
-Mar, what?

Can't you see all he does
is get you in trouble?

Are you scared she won't pick you
if I'm around?

Go away.

Can't you see she doesn't love you?

The only Margarita you'll ever be with
is the one that psychopath created to...

-Beat it!
-No!

Merlin!

Merlin!

-Rey!
-No, stop!

Stop it, Rey!

Is the only way you know to solve
problems by throwing punches?

-Take them away!
-Hands off!

-You're the problem.
-We're leaving, Rey.

Let me go, hands off me.

Are you okay?

-Yeah.
-Merlin, it would be best if you left.

You can't make a scene in here.

I didn't make a scene.

I came to talk to Mar and Fach,
and they wouldn't let me in.

Why would they let you in when all
you do is say horrible things about me?

Of course you aren't allowed
to come into my house.

Look, before we moved to Europe,
we lived in Buenos Aires.

Yeah, mom. I know.

Well anyway, your father's new job
truly renewed us.

It was just what we needed.

We were tired and frustrated.

I had done a thousand different
treatments to get pregnant,

and none of them had worked.

A few days before leaving,
a friend of your father's came by.

Hey, Nino. How are you?

I know you've been trying to have
a baby for quite a long time now,

and that you've wanted to adopt,
but as we know, the wait is endless.

It turns out there's a 4 year old boy
that needs a family.

Not only a good family,
he needs one that will live abroad.

That's why I think you'd be
the perfect parents for him.

-But that's ill*gal.
-Yes, that's what we told him.

You can rest easy.
This is absolutely legal.

The judge I work for
was the one that chose you.

But how? But why?

Because I made sure
that he saw your file,

and you meet all the requirements.

Look, we truly appreciate it, Nino,

but we don't want
any sorts of favors or charity.

All I want is to save this boy.

And to do that, I need a family
that can take him out of the country.

And why was I in danger?

Well, he didn't know
exactly why either,

but there was a chain of people
dedicated to saving you.

I don't know,
no one knew the whole truth.

And he begged us to speak to the judge,

and to meet you first,
before turning anything down.

The most important thing here
is that the boy has refugee status.

And we must save him asap.

If you agree to this,
I'll sign for the adoption

and tomorrow, you can fly to Europe.

We were full of doubt.

We were absolutely terrified.

And then we got to meet you.

The moment we saw you,

we were completely certain.

We had a strong feeling
that you were our son.

And we decided to adopt you.

But...

Neither the judge nor that friend
of my father's told you my story?

No.

He said he would tell us your part
of the story at the right time.

And he just called,

saying he's sick.
Sadly, he doesn't have much time left.

And he needs to talk to you right away,
my love.

What?

I secretly imagine

Being your queen, my king

Living in a dream world

Where there's no reason to fear

Mar.

Mar.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I let myself go

Held in your embrace

You give me the keys to the kingdom

A story that I've dreamt of

The ashes of a story

That has no end at all

Ashes if you leave

I'm lost without you here

I don't...

Did you wanna tell me something?

I swear,
I don't get what's wrong with you.

When did you change so much? And why?

What was that Delfina set up for you?

What pleasure do you get out
of doing this?

You don't get it. You're mediocre
and happy in the background.

Or being Unica's lapdog, or anyone
that gives you even a smidge of love.

Okay. That's it.

I lost the little hope I had
in you not turning into a total idiot.

Good luck with the disaster
that awaits you.

So, what happened?

You and Rey got into a fight back there?

We can talk about that later.
Right now, he wants to talk to us.

Actually, I came to talk to Fach.
Mar, you're hopeless.

What do you mean?

Well, you're too optimistic and think
that even the devil can be redeemed.

Yeah, he's a fallen angel.

Well, this hopeless optimist here
is gonna drive us directly to our doom.

Hey, don't throw
insults at my trusty intuition.

It's the same one that brought me here,

and running through all these halls.
So go ahead.

Listen to me.

We can't let Margarita get close
to this fake Andres ever again, alright?

Those people are murderers.

Oh, don't I know it.
Those bloodthirsty jerks.

Besides, if they wanted to kidnap me,

I don't even imagine
the things they could do to you.

Relax, Merlin. They won't come here.

And she's not going out.

Look, when you become successful,
you have to get used to solitude.

That's what's happened to you.

All of your friends,
the people around you,

all those mediocre people,
they get together

in cliques and go around
patting each other's backs,

they cry about
what they couldn't accomplish

when they never
did anything to achieve it.

You have to be smarter
than those poor folks.

Don't bare all your teeth.
Don't show your whole hand, my dear.

You must pretend, lie, be fake.

You have to make
the entire world loves you again.

So explain this. What happens
if that Andres is our triplet?

Are we going to let him stay
being your uncle's plaything?

Margarita!

Well, I'm just saying.

I love the fairytale you live in.

You know this. I love your optimism.

I love your Oh la la.

But it's time to start thinking
rationally, not intuitively.

I need you...

We all need you to promise us
that you won't trust

that fake king, Andres.

Do you promise us?

Welcome.

Come with me.

Alright, come along this way.

This is Delfina's office.

Well, come. Sit.

Sit and make yourself at home.
You might end up staying. Or not.

Good afternoon.

Delfina. Federico.

-Good afternoon.
-Yes.

Well, let's see if with all
these sweets Professor Garcia

prepared for us,

we can clear the air of any
lingering bitterness, don't you think?

Anyway, tell us about yourself.

Maybe it would be best
to wait for the DNA results first

to see if we're really speaking
to Andres or not.

Totally. All I want
is to get close to my family.

So, you really meant
everything you said?

Is that what you think?

Yes, Otto.

Why would I lie to you?

It was like my way of opening up to you.

Well, I didn't think
you'd actually notice me in that way.

You surprised me
with the whole Romeo thing.

Well, just don't think of Mei or Romeo.

They're part of the past, Otto.

I didn't think of Mei.
I never mentioned Mei.

No, I said Romeo. Only him.

Yeah. It's like my...

the insecurity I feel.

It's almost as if I feel
her spirit haunting me.

You can rest easy.

You are the only one, Unica.

I bet we have a ton of things in common.

A bunch. I love music.

Just like you.

Federico's a little colder, huh?

Oui, yes.
Fach is like a walking freezer.

-Fach?
-Yeah.

Well, that's what we go by artistically,
you know?

He's Federico
Augusto Cornwall de la Hoya. Fach.

Margarita Ana Cornwall de la Hoya. Mach.

And your middle name is...?

What's wrong? You don't know?

All my life, I've gone by Emil.

I only recently learned the name
my parents gave me: Andres Florencio.

So then you'd be...

Afch?

-It doesn't sound too nice.
-Horrible.

Well, either way, it's fine.

All three of us are musical.

So I was thinking that maybe we could
sing something together.

Right now?

Yeah, in the Take a Chance.
Right, Delfi?

-Yes.
-No, Mach. No way.

Oh, don't be a party pooper.

It could send a beautiful message.

Yes, I completely agree with Mach.

Such a beautiful message to the world,

a message full of love and peace.

Besides, it'd be nicer than what Merlin
and his rebels are doing, right?

Don't bother rushing.
Pietro isn't answering.

No. We still have to go live, Maika.

Hey, why not let Pipe host?

He's charismatic, he's intelligent,
he's sweet, and he's so cute.

He's a better option than Merlin,
too, right?

No. You're just saying that
because you're my friend,

but I don't have the look,
and I also just got a pimple.

Don't worry,
I can fix that in a second with makeup.

-Excuse me.
-Yeah.

Men are so clueless, really. Oh my God.

No, I swear I'm not clueless,

but she's just a kid.

Well, that "kid" can run
circles around you.

You gonna say you don't like her?

Yeah, sure I do. Guys, she's gorgeous.

But don't stress me out, okay?

Listen to me, man.

If you don't want to end up
in a monastery, get on that.

Or at least get to know her, man.

What should I say to her?
"Do you wanna go out with me?"

Yes, I wanna go out with you.

When would you like to?
Today or tomorrow?

Or we could go out both days,
if you want.

What are we up to, miss?

I see them and I can't believe that only
just a month ago, that was my life.

And now, others are living it.
It's weird.

Life is weird like that.

And each of us lives our own way.

Even with betrayals and deceptions,
your life has been marvelous.

It is.

-What do you know about my life?
-I know.

I know you've had
people close to you who love you.

A whole lot.

And I know you're a young woman
full of talent and dreams.

I have followed
our princess very closely.

But I'm not a princess.

You say that, yet you're the princess
loved by so many.

Hey, good morning.

-How are you?
-I'm great.

Could you come with me?

Here you go, Delfi.
Figure out which you like and what fits.

If nothing fits, deal with it
'cause I'm not a miracle worker.

Excuse me?

Who do you think
you're talking to like that?

-I'm sorry, Delfi.
-That's better.

It's just that I have
a tendency to destroy

all the opportunities life gives me.

-Well, that wasn't such a big deal.
-No. Not just this.

In my love life, I can't even.

-Can I tell you?
-Yeah, obviously.

-Did you see Jano?
-I have no idea who he is.

-That one who isn't Sasha or Otto.
-I think so.

Well, we were so happy.

Janeki was the capital
of the empire of love.

-How cute.
-Until it burned.

-Delf.
-Why?

I don't know what happened.

I don't know if I messed up, but one day
I woke up and suddenly had competition.

What's worse,
you don't know how gorgeous she is.

I hear you and it's like listening
to my life story.

This happened to me a lot.

And, even if you're not asking for it,
here's some advice.

Live your love story.

Fight for him.

If you want to be with him,
go and do everything you've gotta do.

How?

How? What do I know?

Just think. I don't know how.

Start checking messages, you get in,
check out his life.

-Yeah.
-Give "likes" a lot.

Then try to find something needed,

something his mother might need,
or his sister, you know.

So, what could it be? I don't know.

A cell phone, a kidney.

There are always needs.
So be sure to stay aware.

It's important
that she always stays away.

-Okay.
-Right?

Keep all this in mind. Write it
down if you need to and go for it.

Torino.

Well, well, well.

Today we have a very special episode.
Tell everyone what we're doing, Reina.

We're not playing any games today.
We'll have a different show.

But let the stars take it from here.
A round of applause, please.

-Hello.
-Hello.

How are you? Such joy.

Where do I start?
We have to start from the beginning.

Not too long ago,
we met King Andres from Krikoragan.

And even though
we have not yet confirmed his identity,

my nephew and niece,
the loves of my life,

in such a beautiful and brave gesture,
have invited him

to cultivate their family ties.

Everyone, let's give
a round of applause to welcome

King Andres, the First of Krikoragan!

TAKE A CHANCE WITH REINA

Andres, welcome to the show,
your Highness.

-Thanks.
-I can't believe it.

Look, this will end badly,
like all the ideas she has.

I've known Mar for many years
and her ideas never turned out badly.

Aw, to have someone defend
you like that...

I sure hope that this is the beginning
of a great story.

And I was told you had a surprise.
Is that right?

Exactly right.

It's a surprise that will end up
in history books.

Very well. Do your thing.

What's life about?

If we are what we dream

And we dream what we are

The creators of the cosmos

With connected minds

To the massive universe

We're part of the whole

Creators of time

Dreamers we dream

Change the world with dreams

With soul, we're dreamers

Like a fire lit in hearts

Stop using Mar for your w*r games,
got it?

You have your history.

You're the son and nephew of murderers.

You'd know a lot about that,
wouldn't you?

We're both sons of criminals.
I thought we had that in common.

I thought you didn't want to end up
like your father,

but you decided
to get into your family...

I have no ties to my old man.

Look, you have no idea what it's like
to protect someone other than yourself.

Oh yeah sure. You, ever the altruist.

I mean, that's why you defend murderers,
kidnappers, and criminals.

Yeah, you're right.

And congratulations on your special.

It's so crazy getting something
so grand out of nowhere, right?

It's called charisma.

That's it. People love me.

Too bad Mar doesn't love you.

That's the difference
between you and me.

I don't need artificial intelligence
to get her to love me.

Dreamers

We're more

Mom said you wanted to talk
to me about my biological parents.

I don't know who they are,

but I can, however, tell you
all about the part I had in your story.

Anyway, I had just started
working as a lawyer

in Judge Noguera's panel of peace.

One day, Carla, my first girlfriend,
came to visit me.

She worked at an NGO for refugees,

and there was a boy that needed
to be relocated

because he was being pursued.

If the boy is in danger,
we should file a report.

No, Nino.

The best way to keep the boy safe
is with a family far from here.

No one can know where they are,
not even me.

Carla never knew what had become of you,

but she told me that one day
I'd need to get you two in contact

so she could tell you
her part of the story.

And do you know where we can find her?
Carla?

I can give you an email.

And you only need
to write one single word.

Andarus.

You've touched my heart.

I feel that wherever your mother is,
she must be so proud of you three.

Did you know this song was written
by me with her in mind?

How exciting.
He's part of our family now.

Well,
before we finish our auntie's story,

we have one more guest.

Merlin, care to join us?

We believe that in order to close
this grim story and do away

with all the hate and betrayal,
we must all be present.

Of course.

That's precisely why Erasmus
was assigned as my advisor.

We just want peace in Krikoragan.

If that's your objective,
I find it strange

that you keep using
the same methods as my uncle.

Those are lies, Merlin.

Those are lies the press uses
to slander me.

Then I imagine
it wouldn't be a problem

to ask the people
what it's like to live there.

We're in direct communication.

Rayan, you hear me?

Kulespaia, Merlin.
Greetings, everyone.

It's a pleasure to speak with you.
Especially my good friends,

Federico and Margarita, the princess
that lives in the heart of the people.

It's great to hear from you.

For those who don't know him,
Rayan is a hero of the rebellion.

From the age of only 10, he has been
saving people from horrible situations.

And Krikoragan is no exception,
or is it?

No. I wish I could say
something nicer than this,

but the reality is that we're all
living in a nightmare here.

For many years, the Pietro regime,

in Krikoragan has been attacking,
persecuting,

and assassinating
anyone that thinks differently.

Since King Andres's ascension,
things have only gotten worse.

Why do you say that, Rayan?

People began to express

their discontent with protests,

but the regime responded with violence.

They've also closed schools,

universities, museums, even hospitals.

As if all those who aren't powerful
or rich enough didn't deserve to live.

Is that true, Your Highness?

No.
Those are lies they tell to slander me.

The kingdom defends people,
it doesn't attack them.

It's curious to hear
the King say these things

when he is the one who signed
the decrees permitting,

and I'm citing the official document,
"the annihilation, extermination,

and elimination of any person
that opposes the regime,

and any trace of dissidence."
There's his signature.

We only seek to maintain
peace in the kingdom.

"Annihilation",

"extermination",

and "elimination",

will never be words that bring
the people peace.

Honestly, I doubt you're Andres.

No brother of ours would sign
something like that.

We villains are used
to telling the story.

We dominate
the narrative with precision.

But the problem comes

when someone willing to turn
the page arrives.

Emil!

Don't run. Show your face!

You said it. The people deserve peace.

Now is the time to right your wrongs.

The most severe penalties
are reserved for traitors

and those who attack the King's dignity.

w*r is now declared.

I already said
great empires have fallen.

But I forget to tell you
that before they crumble...

Emil has failed!

He's no longer useful!

A real king is willing to do
anything to keep his title.

We're going to show
the ace up our sleeve.

Release Maximo from prison and bring him
here to me immediately.

If we can't trap them
with their brother,

then we'll do it with their father.

Stay tuned.

Because regardless of who wins,
it'll be one for the history books.

How much happens?

How much remains?

What marks us and leaves its mark?

Remembering can be difficult

For those who still wait

What is history without memories?

Without forgetting
Without getting together?

Who cries for us, who leaves us?

Who supports us in what remains?

What do I care what happens?

Without memory to love you

Who tells it? Who makes it up?

What is history without memories?

What does the heart record

The last goodbye of a great love?

How much happens?

How much remains?

What marks us and leaves its mark?

Remembering can be difficult

For those who still wait

So much grief

So much sorrow

Not to have you near

Remembering can be difficult

For those who still wait
