Thanks for the help, Merlin.
It was an excellent plan.

It was mostly thanks to Mar.

-Ah.
-Mm-hmm.

-We should thank her.
-Right.

I have nothing left to do here.
We'll keep in touch.

-Okay.
-[Merlin] Kurat Unaj.

-Kurat Unaj.
-Kurat Unaj.

Kunat unchara, Merchu!

Well, that battle was won…

-[both laugh hysterically]
-[pensive music playing]

Hey, that face.
Listen, let me give you some advice.

Find your fire,
because Polo likes his girls spicy.

You can move from Botox
to something a little stronger now.

Your face is melting.

Since you're up,
give me a minute with Seve.

-All right.
-Beat it.

Enough daydreaming. Enough.
I can't take this anymore.

I can't stand
this coldness between us anymore.

Like two strangers that…
Why strangers? We're strangers…

LIKE STRANGERS

Everything Nino told me
is strange. [scoffs]

-I don't know how to carry on.
-You do, Torino.

You have a name. You have a password.
Do what Nino told you to.

-Let's go.
-[gentle music playing]

[breathes deeply]

[cellphone chimes, beeps]

ANDARUS, CALL ME
SHARE CONTACT

-There, now we wait.
-[cellphone chimes]

How could you have left
your daughter at my place,

and hid the truth from me?

-We could have been a family.
-Hmm.

[Delfina] You could have been her father.

You could've given me the chance
to be her mother.

-No…
-[Delfina] Even still,

despite everything you did to me,
I'll help you.

-You did the impossible to bail me out.
-How do you think you're here?

I bribed a judge
with money I stole from you.

You didn't notice
there are missing stacks of dough.

You don't know how much you have.

I don't know how much I have.
I have plenty.

Do you?

Don't you see it was a brilliant move?
We needed a scapegoat to take the fall.

-Hmm.
-[Delfina] It was you.

And now… now,
instead of one heir, I have three

under my custody.

-You know what I'll do with the money?
-What?

-Who I'll share it with?
-Who?

-With you.
-[whispers] Yeah, I bet. Listen.

[pensive music playing]

-When do your cards expire?
-No clue.

I know. They expire now.
Check, I think they're dry.

I was hurt.
And with all that happened, it was tough.

-And cutting me off…
-No.

Let's not do this now.

-Okay. Okay.
-All right?

What matters…

is we're not strangers,
we don't hate each other,

and we like each other.

-We love each other.
-[chuckles]

[gentle music playing]

-We love each other. Certo.
-We love each other. Certo.

-[laughs]
-[chuckles]

Are you… Maikarized right now?

And you are Reyrized?

No.

-No.
-No.

-Rey and I aren't together.
-Right.

But, for now, let's forget about titles.

-What do you think? [chuckles]
-You're right, yeah.

We needn't figure out what we are now.

Let's just not be strangers.

[both chuckle]

-Okay, go. It's cold.
-Yeah.

-Bye.
-[Merlin] Bye.

[engine revving]

[dramatic music playing]

Nino said you could
talk about my story.

[Carla over cellphone]
As he explained, I know only one part.

A friend of mine
that worked with refugees

asked for my help to relocate a kid.

My friend's called Linda.
She'll definitely give you all the info.

Call her and tell her the password.

-Andarus.
-[Linda, in English] Yes, I know.

But I'm not the one.
I'll pass you Santos's contact.

LONDON

[Santos, in Spanish] You were tiny
when you arrived in my institute.

We needed to find you a family.

That's when we got you
in touch with Linda.

-[Torino hesitates] Who took me to you?
-Gaspar.

At the time, I was a seminarian
in Chile...

TOKYO

...and a priest from my diocese
asked me to take you somewhere safe.

-[Torino] Who?
-Father Santiago.

-[cellphone chimes]
-[Torino whispers indistinctly]

[Father Santiago over cellphone] Hello?

[sighs] Andarus.

[Father Santiago]
How great to hear your voice.

It means the chain worked.

[sighs]

Three, two, one, go. Eat, don't be shy.

If you don't like sausage,
we have mortadella.

-[hesitates] Mortadella?
-Mortadella.

-What?
-Does this look like a date?

-Mm-hmm.
-[gentle music playing]

I'm a lady, Pipe.
Don't come at me with that stuff.

Set up a movie date.

Make me feel special, if you want.

We have much to learn from this girl.

Bravo. Bravo!

The ticket's booked! I'm going to Chile.

I'd love to come with,
but I'm not emancipated like you.

Delfina won't allow it.

You've been with me
a lot already, princess.

-Grazie.
-How could I not accompany you?

We both don't know our stories.

-We were made for each other.
-[chuckles]

Don't say that.
It makes me want to kiss you, Dai.

Why don't you?

-I saw you, Mar.
-[sighs]

Scusate. I didn't mean
to interrupt romance.

No, it's fine.
I have to go or I'll miss my flight.

Take care of her, Mar.

-[Margarita gasps]
-[gasps] Oh.

-Mamma mía!
-What a flikiti!

[both chuckle]

[Torino] Mar!

Are you the Margarita
that was Italy's president for a day?

[whimsical music playing]

Yes. [chuckles]

Of course! Thanks, baby!

When I tell this story,
not even my namesake believes me.

-[chuckles]
-[Torino chuckles]

INVALID PASSWORD

They hacked me! What happened?
I can't see my money. Call Gabito.

Ah! Mm, Gabito!

-Gabito! [chuckles]
-Why are you laughing, imbecile?

[sighs] I'm picturing
your plebeian lifestyle,

-without your servants.
-[perky music playing]

Wearing cheap brands.

You won't even be able
to afford a By Zeki.

From riches, back to rags.

[screams]

-Get out! I don't want to see you!
-Ah! [laughs]

-Leave my office! You're fired!
-Oh, yeah?

Yeah? And where's my severance?
You have nothing.

And I'll keep
what little remained of yours.

Leave, insolent fool.

Go. Get out of my sight.

Gabito, where are you
when I need you the most?

I reached Italy
and became obsessed with this.

-[chuckles]
-I wanted to be like you.

So, piacere di conoscerti.

-[gasps]
-[chuckles]

Piacere di conoscerti.

[both gasp]

-Adio.
-[Margarita] Adio.

-[chuckles]
-Bye.

[kisses]

You won't insist we reconcile anymore?

You threw in the towel?

-[tender music playing]
-Of course not.

I mean…

I'd love to chat.

To reconcile…

and do all the things
we used to do before.

Then get some popcorn ready
and go to my room.

[engine rumbling]

-[engine rumbling]
-[suspenseful music playing]

[car slows]

Sorry for all the things
I've said to you lately.

-You wanted… to come with me.
-[tender music playing]

All I did was hurt you.

You didn't deserve that.

[sighs deeply]

I always got you, Dai.

Suddenly…

-your story became my story.
-Hmm.

-How would you not get confused?
-[sniffles] Yeah, but it's no excuse.

Sorry I threw all your things out.
I know they were important to you. Sorry.

-Hmm.
-Forgive me.

I don't know if I can forgive
the Cardy thing. [chuckles]

-Forgive me.
-It was nothing.

-[chuckles]
-It's okay, I got it all.

How?

-Rey. [sighs]
-[sniffles] Hmm.

What is there between you two?

We'll have time later
for my romantic soap operas. [chuckles]

What matters now is…

mending…

-mending our wounds of guilt.
-[sniffles]

Yeah.

No one…

meant to hurt anyone.

We're all victims.

-You were amazing! They were speechless!
-[group cheers]

-And the eye patch guy? Wow!
-[laughs]

-He didn't do it alone.
-[Merlin] You're right.

Without Rayan's logistics,
it would've been impossible.

-[Rayan] Mm-hmm.
-Mm.

[tense music playing]

-[group gasps, screams]
-Hands up!

Chill.

I come in peace.
What do you want?

To talk. You're right.
I'm Erasmus's puppet.

I'm forced to say everything he says,
but I'm sick of it.

I came to offer help.

I don't even know where I am anymore.
I don't know who I am.

I have no home.
No home, no family, no name, nothing.

-I'm alone.
-[tender music playing]

No.

You're never alone.

-This is your home.
-[chuckles]

I am your family.

Forever.

-I really missed you, Mar.
-[sighs]

I needed you so badly.

Me too. But here we are.

-It's over.
-Hmm.

-It's over now. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]

[sniffles]

Now, I want to know everything.
All of it.

[both chuckle]

Tell me everything about Toreisy.

-I must admit, I feel bad for my brother.
-[chuckles] Hmm.

[chuckles] But I love Toreisy.

I do like it a lot too. I don't know, I…

At first, I resisted lots,

-because he's a pretty big player.
-[laughs]

But he's helped me lots.
He was with me through all that.

We're going through similar things.

[chuckles] Well, in the end…

we're all searching…

for our own story.

[sobbing] Of course, my love. Of course.

-[Delfina] What are you doing?
-I'm sorry. It's just… [gasps, exclaims]

-You! [exclaims]
-Yeah! I, Fräulein Ada Kahle.

What were you thinking?

You thought I'd let my girls
live in your kingdom of horrors?

-[Margarita] But… professor!
-[Ada] What?

-[sobs]
-[Delfina grunts]

-Do you need a nap? You're exhausted.
-Ah!

-No, Mar, enough. Enough hiding.
-[screams]

Let them kick me out.
Let them come hurt me. We'll see.

-You and how many? Run! Run!
-[grunts]

-[Daisy] Ada?
-Sorry for this harmless lie.

[breathes heavily]

I knew you weren't going
to disappear like that.

-[pensive music playing]
-[sighs]

-[upbeat rock music playing]
-So bitter all day.

That's why she's got those crow feet!
Nobody told her because they fear her.

[group laughs, shouts]

Why aren't you working,
you filthy layabouts?

You've lost, Delfy.

No one's scared of you,
no one fears you… [laughs]

…because your end has come, stupid girl.
[laughs] Stupid girl! Stupid girl!

[breathes heavily] I'm excellent.

I'm almighty.
I'm powerful. I'm the prettiest.

[cellphone chimes]

-[cellphone chimes]
-We have special guests today.

expl*sive GUESTS

Come on, get close to the camera.

Delf, you are the queen
of a two-bit festival.

Bottom of the barrel stuff.
The true power lies with them.

A round of applause for Malala and Seve!

-Please!
-Thank you!

-[Yamila] How elegant!
-Thank you.

They've come to tell us
the spiciest secrets of our queen. Mm!

That's right, Yami.
Even though Delfina owns this place,

today we speak with total freedom.

-Right, my love?
-Yes, Seve-handsome.

-We'll tell the whole entire truth.
-[chuckles]

-[gasps]
-Here, little Delfy.

Yes, in your crystal palace.

You'll love it.
I'll expose you for all to see.

-[gasps]
-[dramatic music playing]

-Look at this picture, it's lovely.
-I'll leave a like.

-[both laughs]
-[cellphone chimes]

Ada, what's happening?

Nothing.

Maybe I get emotional seeing
my two Margaritas together. [chuckles]

[sighs]

How much truth is there
to what you said in Flikiti?

That was just a snack. A teaser.
The main dish, I will serve here.

MALALA AND SEVERINO TELL
THE WHOLE TRUTH

You might say, "Wow, wow, wow,
what a resounding success Reina has been!"

But what you don't know
is that half her viewers are paid bots.

That's what she spends
the royals' fortunes on.

How awful! Poor things!

Is it just me or the king
is searching for the little queen?

-[cellphone chimes]
-[indistinct chatter over TV]

What's with you, idiot? I'm hearing you!

-[pensive music playing]
-Yeah?

You want to flirt with Rey?

Listen.

Before you make any decisions,
analyze the situation well.

By the way he acted,
we obviously won't believe him.

It's foolish to believe him.

My uncle will search for a way
to counter-attack.

[Fach] Yes, I agree.

But there's a chance that they're right,
and that he's being threatened.

-[Blue] Or bought.
-Hmm.

In Krikoragán,
betrayal is the only way to survive.

That explains a lot, Blue.
It explains why he did what he did.

People aren't bad just because.
What matters now is that he wants to help.

Pipe, you've spent lots of time with Mar,
and her naivety infected you.

The fact that he came alone says it all.

This is obviously a trap.
What king would come alone?

I agree with Pipe.
To me, Emil is a victim.

Why do you think so?

He's not a Pietro. He won't lie.

Uh, we don't need
to make any decisions right now.

Hmm? We could use that to our favor.
Stay in touch with Emil.

But give no information at all. All right?

-Yeah.
-[Fach] Hmm.

Tell me, Malu.

Did she always like to steal
her friends' boyfriends?

[Malala laughs]
Her friends', her enemies',

or of any other girl
that crossed her path.

What could I say of the barbarities
my daughter's committed?

-Cut the transmission! Now!
-Once she told a boyfriend

-that the housemaid had stolen…
-You! Cut the light! Cut everything!

…for what? To get her fired.

-[computers shut off]
-[clears throat]

Who do you think you are, you failures?
You? And you?

I plucked you from the dirt!
You couldn't even speak!

Everything you learned,
you learned from me.

Girl, you want to hurt me?
You've never had anything.

And you? You can't stomach
having a powerful, successful woman

by your side?

One who needs
no one beside her to triumph?

You want to see me fall
because I didn't choose you?

I'm seeing you fall
for all the harm you've done.

And you?
Your level of cruelty is inconceivable.

Why are you so angry at me?
Because I didn't turn out like you?

Why did you push me away
from all the people I've loved in life?

[sobs] You're so evil, Malala…

that I was frightened
of getting pregnant my whole life!

Because I'm terrified of forming a family.

Because I don't want to be like you!
I'm scared of it!

You frighten me! You make me panic!

How are you so evil?
What did I do to you? [sobs] Why?

[Daisy] Aunt.

-Come here. I'll help you. Come.
-[Delfina sobs]

Let's go. Let me help you.

[sobs, groans]

Come on.

[pensive music playing]

[Father Santiago]
Don't break anything, please.

-[child laughing]
-Torino?

-Torino, is that you? Torino!
-You? Why are you here?

Why are you here? I know.

You came because you loved my poetry
and wanted a partnership. No problem.

I'll tell you any of them. Here's one.

Your eyes look at me,
in them I see my reflection.

They search for my gaze,
my pupils burning hot.

With my mouth, I improvise. With my mouth…

Stop. Why are you here?

[Father Santiago]
Florencio, can you help?

-[tender music playing]
-Don't break anything, please.

Father Santiago?

It's me, Torino.

-Andarus.
-[gasps]

How embarrassing.

-What a scene, I'm sorry. [sobs]
-No. None of that.

Congratulations.

Because this is the first step
to healing your poisoned heart.

-[Daisy] Mar.
-No. I mean well.

You faced the mother witch.

Because, yes,
Malala is the mother of evil.

-[door opening]
-[Malala] Stand on your feet…

[sniffles]

…when uttering my name,
you filthy thistlebug.

-[tense music playing]
-I'm only standing up to please you,

but I don't think a witch of your level
deserves that much respect.

[Malala] You're as ordinary
as the thistle.

I'd have preferred you.
You have more class, baby.

Now, leave. Both of you.

The true and false Margaritas.
I must speak to my daughter.

I hope you take the chance
to ask for forgiveness

-for all the harm you've done her.
-Look, honey, either you leave,

or I'll fumigate
those cheap dance-girl curls of yours.

-Let's go!
-[Daisy] Mar, enough.

-If you need anything, we're outside.
-Yes, thank you.

-[Daisy] Come on, come on.
-[Margarita] No…

-[energetic music playing over speakers]
-So? Don't tell me you didn't like it.

The place is divine. And you're beautiful.

Yeah, Zeki helped out.
I don't know about these things.

Yeah, I know. And I like that Pipe.

The authentic one.

-And what's that Pipe like?
-[Cala chuckles]

That Pipe would be… a sensible gentleman.

Loyal. He sees beauty in the small things.

-And makes others see it too.
-You're right.

-I am not this place.
-[chuckles]

-I am not this.
-No.

-[Pipe] Let's go then.
-No, we didn't pay.

-In three, two, one…
-What?

-Three, two, one, God pays.
-Pipe, no!

-[clears throat] Hey, guys! How are you?
-Are you well?

We'll do, "Three, two, one,"
look how I dance for you!

And just like that,
we left without paying.

-[chuckles]
-[waiter] Hey!

-[indistinct chatter]
-[waiter shouting indistinctly]

As you've been told,
you're a political refugee.

But you're not alone.
You have two brothers.

[Ada] Please, hurry!

[Father Santiago]
They were each taken to a different place

with people of extreme confidence.

You were brought to me because…
I was very close friends with your dad.

-Take care of him, Santiago.
-With my life, Alphonse.

You were… raised here.

You grew up with other kids,
with another name as well.

[kids laughing]

[Father Santiago] Everything was fine.
We were in peace, until…

Thank you. Hello?

...we heard that they arrested
Alphonse du Cayan,

the man who brought you to me.

Then we had to activate a plan,

out of fear Alphonse
could have leaked some information.

I had to take you to someone,

and that someone
would take you somewhere else,

thus creating a chain of solidarity,

until we found a family
that had no idea about your origins.

That's the only way
we found to protect you…

-from the Pietros.
-But that story…

-that story you were just telling me is…
-[Father Santiago] Yeah.

That story is the story of the royals,
Margarita and Federico.

-[uplifting music playing]
-You are the third.

You are Prince Andrés Florencio
Cornwall de la Hoya.

How could we leave them alone?
That was a big mistake, you see?

The woman will infect them
with her hatred!

-Yeah, I don't know.
-Ah!

Good! Just look who we managed to find!

Hello, brother! [laughs] Hey, bestie!

What say we make the most of our time,
since we're sitting around doing nothing,

to psyche up some of these…
strange flikitis we're having?

No need, Mach. You needn't force anything.

-Daisy has every right to hate me.
-I don't hate you, Fach.

And I want to apologize

for everything I've said and done
during this time.

-You didn't deserve it.
-No need to apologize.

-[cheerful music playing]
-[both chuckle]

Poor thing.

If you want melodrama,
then go take some acting classes,

put some effort and dedication in

-and make some money, silly girl.
-[sobs]

Go, girl, you've mortally wounded…

your heart already… [chuckles]

…ever since you let
that thistlebug come in here

with weird ideas

that completely fried…

the last few neurons
that still lived in your brain.

-[chuckles]
-[sobs] Nonsense. I can…

deal with all this very well.

-Yeah? You can?
-[Delfina] Mm-hmm. Hmm.

Delfy, please.
you think you own everything,

that you can do anything,
and you can't do anything.

-Margarita is the beginning of your end.
-[Delfina sniffles]

-[sobs]
-Your end.

♪ Someone's got problems ♪

-[door opening]

[Daisy] If you want, we could make up
with a fencing match.

-Oh.
-I'd love that.

[chuckles] I'll ask Torino
how his familial search is turning out.

-Did he learn anything?
-He is trying to.

It's like a treasure hunt.
At least he gets hints. [chuckles]

[Ada] Daisy! Good thing you're here.

I can't find Jean Paul anywhere.
Have you seen him?

Uh, did you check Delfina's room?
He likes to pee there.

-I love this dog.
-[chuckles]

-[chuckles]
-I'll check.

-[sighs]
-[cellphone chimes]

[cellphone ringing]

Sorry, I'll tell my friend
I'll call her later.

No, no. Chat away.

[cellphone chimes]

You don't know
what melodrama just transpired.

[cellphone chimes]

-I want to tell it all.
-[Fach] Yeah…

-Hmm.
-Sorry, Dai. I'll call back later.

Hi, sorry.
I think we called you by accident.
