MARGARITA
MAKE YOUR STORY COUN
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
No more delays
Get out and shine
Time to break free
Leap, fly, it's time
Don't be so blind
Living in vain
In a world that's cruel
Causing you pain
I don't see
I don't feel, don't hear
I don't seek, don't vibe
Barely breathe here
I don't see
I don't feel, don't hear
I'm just surviving
Cut!
What is it now?
-Zeki, come here.
-Sure.
Come here.
I don't like her clothes.
Get her some overalls.
I don't know. Something else.
It's not a documentary. Let's continue.
-No.
-Why not?
Never mind the overalls.
Just fix her shirt.
Can't you see it's full of holes, Zeki?
No, it's supposed to be like that.
It's fashion.
Just fix it. Do something.
Go on.
I'm sorry, but why are you
doing all this for him?
They asked me to.
What about you?
We'll have to be honest
and brave about our feelings.
What if it hurts?
So dramatic.
The prince, in love with a commoner,
but feeling guilty about the princess.
Get me some popcorn.
I'm absolutely loving this.
No, you got everything wrong.
Here's the deal,
we're rehearsing for the new challenge.
It's a play, and…
What is it called?
"Forbidden Love"?
"Making Out With My Friend's Crush"?
No, I know.
"Backstabber." It fits you perfectly.
This is a great hiding spot.
It'd be awful
if Daisy found out about this.
You and I have a deal.
Yeah, I know.
But the deal was about something else.
The price just went up.
What do you want?
I have an idea.
I'll keep quiet. Okay?
But, in exchange,
you'll produce my music video,
and you are going to star in it.
Why do you need me?
-No!
-What is it?
Apparently, Margarita's fans
started to defend her.
She's a global trending topic and gained
50,000 followers in two hours.
Nice.
Her follower base is… huge.
It keeps getting bigger.
Do we have a deal?
Then we do have a deal. Okay?
We need to stop this bickering
between Thistles and Narcissists.
We should come together.
Or it will turn into a war.
Don't forget
we have reservations in an hour.
-I hope you'll make it.
-Yeah, sure.
I didn't forget.
We can't keep this up, Margarita.
It's insane.
Stop. There's no going back.
Let's continue.
You're the one who said
not to give in to his extortion.
Do what I say, not what I do.
Let's continue. Come on.
To your places.
Camera.
We're on.
Video for the song "Heart of the King."
Shot one. Take two.
Music.
Action.
No more delays
Get out and shine
TOXIC WASTE
You said we should look
for innovative ideas.
You're going to leave the audience out?
-No!
-No.
-The audience is part of the piece.
-Exactly.
Wherever they are. At any time.
It's a hybrid project.
-Yes. That's it.
-It combines technology and all.
-Delfina, we need to talk.
-No. Just wait.
-But it's urgent.
-I know.
-What?
-I have an idea.
-A sort of relay race.
-That's it.
With different subjects,
that blend together and tell a story.
-That's the answer.
-Twenty-four hours a day.
-A 24-hour artistic journey.
-Of live art.
-It's a fantastic idea.
-Perfect!
-It's spectacular.
-Give me.
That's really amazing, man.
I love it. Pretty nice.
I still need to be paid.
Of course. That prince-looking guy
is going to pay you.
-You see?
-That one?
-Thanks. There you go.
-See you.
Let's see.
What are you up to?
I'm making the video.
It's going to be awesome.
Don't play dumb.
Why did you choose Margarita? Traitor!
It's nothing personal.
She has more followers,
and people like her better.
A music video with her in it
is going to blow up.
Isn't that good for us both?
That's what you said the other day.
I just hope you don't regret it.
You look angry.
Is it more than that?
Could it be a little fliquithingy?
Like Mar says.
What makes the jealous, jealous?
Take good care of it.
Where are you, Merlin?
-I'm in the horse stable.
-Don't lie to me.
I can see, through the security camera,
how you escaped.
You can't do as you please, Merlin.
You are the future King of Krikoragán.
I didn't choose any of that.
Find him and bring him back.
If you stare at him like that,
people will notice.
That's enough.
Get ready.
It's time for the most powerful,
and hottest scene.
So subtle. Gentle.
It's not subtle at all. It's romantic.
I don't get it.
It says, "I barely breathe," and then…
Do you breathe?
While I sing to you, I hug you,
and we stare at each other with love.
That's pathetic.
It's dumb. Makes no sense.
It's a video.
It's not supposed to be logical.
It's not logical.
It's a concept. You get it?
What are you talking about?
I don't create meaningless content.
Besides, it's a cliché.
-Whose video is it?
-Who paid for it?
Whose video is it?
-Who paid for it?
-It's mine.
-It's mine.
-It's mine.
It's mine.
It's better if you stay away
from each other.
Not in the same frame.
That should be the actual concept.
Right, Mar?
Merlin, shall we?
We're just about to record,
and it's late.
-Can I take a rain check?
-Go on. You're not needed anymore.
No, that's okay.
I have to study.
Daisy.
Sorry.
Let's just go. Okay?
Where does jealousy live?
In our heads or in our hearts?
What's on the menu?
Pizza! But for you, it's ham.
With fresh tomato. People will love it.
Forgive me, protocol.
-I'm vegan. Remember?
-Yes!
Not vegetarian.
I don't eat products of animal origin.
No cheese and no eggs, Ada.
What about the protein, dear boy?
Dear boy?
Dear… girl.
Just dear.
-There you go. Thanks.
-Girl, boy… Dear.
Just "dear."
I'm learning. I know all about the LGBR.
-LGBR?
-That's it!
-LGBT.
-Close enough.
Ada, call me whatever you'd like.
Just don't feed me cheese.
Chicken's ready. Sorry.
So you dance, Pipe?
You have no idea.
Is that right?
Isn't he cute?
Let's see.
It's amazing. They have it in Norway.
-Let's add a differential value.
-It sounds great.
Are you finished with all
of this nonsense?
I have something urgent to tell you.
Urgent!
Would you mind leaving us?
We'll continue this later.
-Thank you. I'm sorry. Really sorry.
-Excuse me.
You made me wait for half an hour,
while you laugh like a teenager
with that idiot!
What is it?
I tapped Margarita's phone.
If she's up to something or contacts
her brothers, we'll find out.
-What else?
-I need a place for my employees.
Yamila will find you an office.
Get rid of that hippie poodle
that smells like sandalwood and vanilla.
You deserve a wolf by your side.
A wolf!
THE AXOLOTL
So?
I know how much you love fishes.
Don't deny it.
They're not fishes. They're amphibians.
I don't need an encyclopedia.
I know everything there is to know.
You obviously asked Margarita to help,
so I'd forgive you.
I did. That's exactly it.
No more lies.
Just the truth.
I'm sorry, Romeo.
I promise I understand.
I'll never lie again.
Do you want me to go?
There's a way I could forgive you.
I'll do anything.
I want you to help me get a girlfriend.
-A girlfriend?
-Yes.
If you want to go out with my sister,
you'll have to help me.
That's the only way.
She promised
she wouldn't date before I do,
and she keeps her promises.
What do you say?
You just caught me off guard, but sure.
Let's do it.
Let me think.
It could be Alaska.
Sure, not Alaska. Or Candy.
Candy, from the bar.
Not Candy.
I know! Mei.
-She'd be perfect.
-No.
I don't need you to choose.
I'll do it myself.
Just teach me how to make her like me.
Go on.
-Do you like it?
-It's nice.
It's really nice. I love it.
Here.
Thank you.
I'm sorry about the bodyguards.
I know it's annoying,
but I have no option.
That's okay. I'm used to it.
What do you mean?
Because they're always in the Hangar.
That's all.
-Do you know what you're ordering?
-Yes. Bannofee.
Typical of a dethroned princess.
-Just a moment.
-That's okay.
The vibe here is so weird.
It's tense. I don't know.
Rey thinks he's a star,
and he's annoying,
with the coffee and the clothes.
"Not that angle."
Zeki hates the color of the motorcycle.
They say it doesn't match the palette.
What palette are they talking about?
There's no palette, man.
I don't get it.
Just tell me what Rey and Mar are doing.
That's all.
I'm sorry. I had to reply.
No, that's okay. You need to work.
I, on the other hand, am a Nee-Nor.
Neither study nor work.
I told you. They are about to film
the kissing scene.
-Camera.
-Action.
Music video for "Heart of the King."
Shot two, take one.
Draw your strength
Dressed as a king
Disguised and faceless
A mask of paper thin
No eyes, no soul
No blood or tears to bring
Though once I had it all
Now I feel nothing
Draws your strength
Dressed as a king
Disguised and faceless
A mask that's just a thing
They seek only fame
No! Cut.
Please, cut.
-What is it?
-Just no.
There's no point in kissing.
Have you ever shot a music video?
I shoot videos all the time,
and I'd never
include a kissing scene here.
It doesn't work. No.
The idea, production,
and everything else are mine.
I decide what works. Go.
No. The song is about you being fake,
and having a paper mask,
but you want a kissing scene? No.
That's love. It changes.
That's not love.
Sure, love can be contradictory,
like some desserts,
that are both savory and sweet,
but love isn't jealous.
You and I have a deal. Okay?
Just do your part, and I'll do mine.
SOS! Fairy Council.
I need a collective fairy advice.
We're listening.
I'm between a rock and a hard place.
I fall for Merlin more everyday,
but so does Daisy,
and now they're on a date,
and it's not like I'm jealous, but…
But I am.
Merlin is jealous
because Rey blackmailed us
so I'd be on his music video.
Única looks at me like she hates me,
and Pipe is still in love with me.
All of us are jealous,
and I don't know what to do.
What should I do?
I don't think I understand.
If you're angry,
take a deep breath and sigh.
What did you do
to make Severino leave like that?
It's the Santillan effect.
I don't know what's wrong with him.
He's a grown man,
having a jealousy tantrum.
He saw me with another man,
and freaked out.
-Is there any news?
-Yes.
Our account being suspended
was Única's doing.
-Única?
-Look at it.
You heard me,
she mobilized her followers,
and then her haters reported
Margarita's performance.
I can't believe it. Get her.
-She's here.
-Then let her in.
-Come in.
-Thank you.
Del, I was just thinking
about texting you.
I have an idea for my cover.
Let me tell you.
No. Let me guess.
Is it a collage of your followers
reporting the Hangar's account?
No, you must be confused.
I would never do something like that.
I'm confused?
What is this?
Fine. I did it.
The truth is I thought you valued
people who came here to win,
not people who are content with a bed.
Don't tell me
it wasn't a brilliant idea.
Hundreds of people
doing just as I told them to.
If I asked them to jump off a bridge,
they'd do it.
Besides, if you want,
I can give you advice
on how to manage your socials.
You are desperate to win,
and I really do respect that.
But don't you dare bite
the hand that feeds you.
-Do you hear me?
-Yes.
-And do you understand?
-Yes.
That's great.
Be on your way.
-No. Honestly.
-Can you believe that brat?
No. She wants to teach us
how to manage our social media.
I think it's almost sweet.
But, who knows?
Maybe we do need to learn more.
-Gaby, do you have the report?
-Here it is.
Since Margarita's return,
the public's positive response
increased 25 percent.
Great.
We've been using the hashtag
"Come Back to the Hangar."
We're in the 15th position.
That's great. Hold this.
Remember what I said
about the Patron of the Future's
nominee?
Marita Ponce.
-Start with the plagiarism thing.
-Sure.
-Anything else?
-Yes.
Thank you.
Get to know each other.
I'll approach her and say, "Let's chat."
Make it more casual.
How do I find an excuse?
You could, for example,
talk about something you both like.
"I saw this,
and it made me think of you."
I know!
I could invite her to the museum.
There's an exhibition
on pre-Colombian vessels.
What's funny?
No, it's just that it's kind of boring.
At least for a first date,
you should find something you both like.
But I don't know her.
I don't know what she likes.
That's what the date is for.
That's what the date is for.
Repeat after me.
That's what the date is for.
To talk, and find out what she likes,
what she doesn't.
I get it. It's like a questionnaire
about her interests,
what she studies,
countries she visited or would like to,
the books she's read last month.
But it's more like a chat,
not an interrogation.
That's perfect.
I'm ready for the practical stage.
There's some… There.
What a mess.
I'm sorry. That's embarrassing.
I'm not great with anything
that involves food.
Ada never managed to teach me.
-Where were you?
-In the attic.
I needed to clear my head and breathe.
I have a dilemma.
Please, don't kiss him!
Ada teaches me protocol,
but it just won't get in my head.
I'm such a mess with protocol,
and etiquette,
and what is allowed or not.
I'm not sure why.
Don't leave me on read.
Please don't do it!
What's the dilemma?
There's Rey's music video,
and Merlin's jealousy.
Rey caught us all lovey-dovey,
and blackmailed us with telling Daisy.
Now you're upset
because I shouldn't tell you this.
You can always tell me anything.
Whatever it is.
I'd die if you stopped being my friend.
That'll never happen.
Then I picked a booger,
and flew away on an elephant.
Let's go, Rocco.
Apparently Merlin is busy,
and I don't want to get in his way.
Daisy, just wait.
I can't continue to be tangled
in this spider web of secrets.
Wouldn't it be better to tell?
To tell or not to tell?
That is the question.
There has to be a solution.
There always is.
-I know!
-What?
Did I tell you
I was President of Italy for a day?
A thousand times.
-Did I tell you what that day was like?
-No.
It was a beautiful day.
I could have stayed
playing or painting, but no.
The country depended on me.
-Thank you.
-Thanks, guys.
Well, Miss President…
What should we do about this?
A holiday for firefighters
who rescue cats?
-Approved.
-Okay.
And the holiday for the Gelato Day?
Ice cream? Of course.
Now there's…
the subsidies for the Napoli players.
Of course.
Long live soccer. Okay.
Repairs for the Padlock Bridge.
Approved. No doubt.
Okay.
And this…
More cheese for the city's mice.
-Approved.
-Okay.
All I had to do was say yes or no.
How could I have said no
to what was fair?
In a matter of minutes,
I solved the problems
of the Italian people.
And then we sat down
to have some coffee with sfogliatella.
This job is easy, Freddo.
People exaggerate when they say…
What's happening?
You granted a subsidy
to the Napoli players,
and the other teams,
naturally, got angry.
To repair the bridge,
the highway had to be canceled.
To be able to feed all the mice,
the dog pound had to be closed.
There isn't enough money for everything.
Come here.
I learned that being president is
like covering yourself with a napkin.
If you cover your shoulder,
you uncover your arms.
It's an endless job.
What did you do?
Well…
What do we do now, Ms. President?
Let's talk to them.
Great. Let's talk to them.
I explained to the people that,
even if the intentions are good,
it's not enough.
Nobody wants people to suffer.
That's why we end up doing things
that cause more suffering.
That's it, Mar.
It's always better to face it,
even if it hurts.
You're so right.
Thanks! Talking to you always helps.
Please, listen to me.
At least let me explain.
Daisy, please. Let me explain.
-That's enough.
-I know I was rude.
But I was dealing
with the music video, and…
What happened?
What happened? Did you film the video?
-Did you kiss Rey?
-That doesn't matter.
Why is Daisy upset?
She's angry at me,
because I was distracted.
You know why?
I was thinking about you and Rey,
and I got mad that he wants to kiss you.
This is bad.
Of course it is. It's really bad.
How could you kiss Rey?
No, this jealousy is bad.
We're all jealous of one another.
It's like the happy train,
but with jealousy instead.
I can't help but feel this way
about what Rey's doing.
Jealousy isn't love.
It's the opposite. It's a red flag.
A sign of turbulent seas,
and of trouble.
-You won't believe it.
-What is it?
They're reporting Marita Ponce,
because, apparently, she plagiarized
one of her workshop participants
in her last novel.
-Marita Ponce?
-It's right here.
Has that even been fact checked?
She's so creative and talented.
I can't believe it.
-There's something else.
-What?
-The Hangar is in the trending topics.
-Why is that?
Well, not the Hangar. It's us.
What is that?
It's kind of personal.
I need you to make this photo viral.
It can't be.
Where did they get this picture?
Are you asking me?
They say it's romantic,
and that you and I are dating.
"Delfina Santillan's new boyfriend."
I can't believe it.
-It's not funny.
-It really is.
I don't know what to do.
-Nothing.
-Should I deny it?
Why put out a press release
for such nonsense?
Just leave it.
What would you say?
People make things up,
fabricate lies and say nonsense.
If you say so.
Of course, I'm speaking for myself,
because I don't want to put you
on the spot,
in case you're in a relationship,
or in a commitment.
-I totally understand.
-No, but I…
-Then we'll make a statement.
-Not because of me.
Please, I'm talking.
-What is it? Wait.
-I need to talk to you.
Yeah.
-So, if you want to…
-It's important.
Just a second.
-Whatever you want.
-It's just…
That's so annoying!
We'll talk about this later.
It's hard being me.
It's hard.
-It's hard.
-It's urgent.
-Yeah, sure.
-It's urgent.
So, yes.
Sometimes, jealousy is flattering,
but it's the most confusing
feeling in the world.
Jealousy is not the same as love.
What's so urgent?
-Read the messages.
-Sure.
Today, at 3:30 pm,
Margarita texted Pipe, and I quote,
"I'm tired of Tyrant Rex's music video."
End of text.
Then, at 4:05 pm,
she opened an app, and I quote,
"SOS! Fairy Council.
I need a collective fairy advice."
I'm sorry,
I don't mean to be disrespectful,
but what's so important about that?
You dragged me here
to tell me that silliness?
I don't mean to be disrespectful,
but that's it.
What is the information?
The information is that our lives
are hanging by a thread,
while you were flirting like a teenager
with that hippie aquagym teacher.
I'm sorry, German,
but could you wait outside?
-Please.
-Thank you.
You know why I asked him to leave?
Because it's ridiculous.
Were you ever a standup man?
A well respected person.
You're such a moron.
You're blind with jealousy.
-I'm jealous?
-Yes, you are.
You know what? I'm a free woman.
I can date whoever I please.
If I want to date
an aquagym teacher, I'll do it.
-Of course.
-I'll do as I please.
-You're shameless.
-I'm shameless?
You behave like a four year old.
Tell me when you turn four,
so I'll buy you a gift.
-Spare me.
-You're such a baby.
-It's shameless.
-You freak.
-Take a look at yourself.
-Stop it.
That makes you a trophy,
and no one deserves to be that.
Jealousy isn't love.
It's toxic waste, and we can't have it,
because it poisons us.
Jealousy means something is wrong.
-What is wrong?
-This is.
This thing we're doing,
lying, hiding and pretending.
It doesn't matter
if there's good intentions,
it's not enough.
We should tell the truth,
even if it hurts.
You're right.
I'll talk to Daisy,
and make things right.
I'll talk to Rey.
Finally! The diva is here.
-Let's get this done.
-No.
I'm not doing your video.
What?
-Careful with…
-What?
Are you going to tell?
Are you telling my secret? Whatever.
We all get to choose
if we're a good or a bad person.
You're free,
so choose who you want to be.
-You think I'm playing?
-No.
I don't.
I don't think you're the kind of guy
that just talks.
All I have is a thistle,
some trinkets and my freedom.
I'm not letting you blackmail me.
If you'd asked me nicely,
I'd have totally done it.
-But not like this.
-Make no mistake.
I'm not a dog that barks
and doesn't bite.
Then bark. Bite.
Do whatever you want.
Marita Ponce is all over the media.
It's an international scandal.
Some people suspect
that she will be eliminated
from the nomination
for Patron of the Future.
Someone is in deep trouble.
Delf, the Salo thing
is still circulating.
-Should we counterattack?
-No.
-Delfy, you…
-What?
Nothing. I was just saying
I'm done for the day.
This is for you.
Magnus, play the relaxing playlist.
"Transfer 50,000 exilorcoins
by tomorrow,
or I'll expose the truth
about Margarita's identity."
They said you were looking for me.
That's right.
You're Merlin's uncle. Right?
-The king's brother.
-And you are?
I'm a king without the title.
I don't understand. Who are you?
It doesn't matter who I am.
What matters is that I know
what Merlin does
when he sneaks out.
That's something
you'd really like to know.
Isn't that right?
How did it go with Rey?
I did what I had to do.
Let him do whatever he wants.
-Did you talk to Daisy?
-I did.
I was just talking to her.
How'd she take it?
I should talk to her. Right?
It's my truth as well,
and I couldn't avoid this love fliquiti.
I didn't tell her about us.
I just apologized about this afternoon,
and asked her on another date.
-But we decided to tell her.
-No.
We decided to do what's necessary.
So, telling the truth.
No, Mar.
I'm here to give back to Daisy
what my parents stole from hers.
-So you told her?
-Not yet.
The only way I can give back her throne
is to marry her.
What?
How could you marry her?
You're too young.
Either way they'll marry me off
to someone I don't know.
But, if I marry Daisy in secret,
there's nothing my parents can do.
She'll be princess of Krikoragán,
and, one day, the queen.
That's what I came here for.
That's what I'm doing.
If you want to hurt me
I won't deny
I don't know how to defend myself
From someone like you
Someone who keeps secrets
Lies and stories too
And makes me suffer
If you want to hurt me
Here I am
Come to me
I never meant to hurt you
It's something I can't do
You're the princess I've dreamed of
I keep no more secrets
This is my truth
Nothing less
I hope to find you
To love you again
This isn't a game we play
It's so real
In every way
I know how much I care
But, sometimes
I'm lost in despair
I don't want to lose you
Or see you shed a tear
I daydream
Of catching your sight
I dream
Of you here tonight
If you want to hurt me
You can go ahead
How can I defend myself
From someone like you?
Keeping secrets
Lies and tales
Making me suffer
If you want to hurt me
Here I am
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
