PREVIOUSLY

[Latifa] 2023?

We're in 2023!

[Ariel] Since you disappeared,
magic also disappeared

from our world.

But my friend, Mima,

the girl who woke you up,

she's different.

[Latifa] If you have magic
within yourself,

sooner or later, it will appear.

Appear? And if I want to hide
it?

[Kwame] I believe in you, Uncle Akashi.

I came to fight Luminum with you.

[sighs] For Aruna...

[Cloe] We need Wild Mugwort to
find Aruna.

[Ariel] Luminum...

They're the only ones
allowed to plant Mugwort.

So we could go there and take
some, right?

- Sure.
- Yeah!

[Ariel] It's like... breaking
in, right?

- [alarm beeping]
- Cloe, let's go!

[Latifa] Come on, let's go!

Open the door!

- [energy gathering]
- [Latifa screams]

[Juno] Latifa!

[soft music]

[female voice singing]

Have you used magic again, Cloe?

I told you not to!

But it was for our own good.

We need to eat well.

And if someone exposes you?

Who would do that, Estevão?

No one sees what I do.

I can't protect you like this.

I can't fight against my own nature.

It is stronger than me.

I hope that you know,
if anything is to happen,

it is by your own fault.

[tense music]

What a nice salad.

Hearty vegetables.

I'm sure they're otherworldly.

How? Who?

[gasping]

[soft magic whooshing]

[soft scream]

[coughing]

- [Juno] Are you ok?
- [Latifa] Mima!

You came.

What's this? What spell is that?

It seems to be a powerful spell.

- It's electricity.
- Huh?

You disarmed it, try again.

Latifa, no, you're too weak.

I'll try.

Minerium Inara!

[Latifa pants]

[Cloe] We did it!

[Latifa pants]

[Juno] Let's go!

[Cloe] We did it. Let's go.

- [Cloe] Careful.
- [guard] Stop!

- [gasping]
- [Juno] Get down!

[Latifa] Let's go, go, go!

[tense music]

Let's go, Cloe! Cloe!

Everything that happens now
is your own fault.

[Juno] Cloe!

[Latifa] Mima,

you can use your power to stop him.

But I've never done this.

There's always a first time.
Use your heart.

Fast!

Mima...

[tense music]

- It's not working!
- [Juno] There's no time!

[Juno] Cloe!

[Latifa] Cloe!

- [Juno] Cloe!
- [metallic pang]

I'm sorry. Let's go, Cloe,
fast!

Juno...

[tense music]

- [Latifa] What happened?
- [Juno] Get down.

Get her.

[witches panting]

[Juno] Let's go. Are you ok?

- [panting]
- [Latifa] Let's go.

[Cloe] What happened?

[soft music]

[Ariel] Hey.

Did it work?

What's wrong, buddy? Are you ok?

She needs some rest.

You were very brave today, Mima.

- But I couldn't do anything.
- Trying is the first step.

[Ariel hums happily]

You'll feel better after
sleeping, Mima.

In fact, we all need some rest.

- Yeah.
- Yes.

- Want me to go with you?
- No.

I'll take her inside. Let's go.

Do you really think she has
powers?

I feel it.

She is special. And answers
shall come.

But now, we've got a potion to
brew!

[soft laughs]

Let's go, let's go!

[soft music]

Do you need a pinch of salt?

- [Juno laughs]
- This isn't like soup, Juno.

I know, Cloe, I'm just...
trying to help.

I need to focus

until this smoke turns blue.

Only then will this potion be done.

I felt something really off in
there, you know?

Do you think Aruna might--

We can't take any more risks.

This potion is the best way.

- [Viberto] Good evening!
- [clattering]

I have some tea for you.

- [Juno] Hello.
- [Viberto] I heard

you came from afar.

You must be tired.

My name is Viberto,

I'm that lad's grandfather.

- [Cloe] Nice to meet you.
- Hello.

Mr. Viberto, thank you for your kindness.

It's nothing. What are you
preparing over there?

I'm Juno!

- [Viberto] Oh, you're gorgeous.
- Those are Cloe and Latifa.

[Juno] And you, sir, are so
very kind.

[Viberto] It's nothing.

[Viberto] Make yourselves at home.

[whispering] I'm sorry.

- The layout.
- [sighs]

- Great.
- But, if you're making a potion,

why do you need a map?

- This is anise.
- It will show us

a shortcut guided by the
emotion within the potion.

You know,
emotions are the key to magic.

That's why it is crucial
to have your thoughts,

your heart, focused on the
magic, for it to work.

[emotional music]

[whispering] Thank you.

[with a full mouth] What is
this one?

- That's... cinnamon.
- [Juno] Hmm, cinnamon.

[tense music]

Ma'am, there was no need to...

I decide what's needed or not
in my company, Ronaldo.

We're talking about
my most precious asset.

It would be absurd not to come,
don't you agree?

What about you, dear...

Gustavo. I was so worried.

Are you ok? Were you medicated?
Tell me, what happened?

Three women broke into the company,

and they were... weird.

- Descendants?
- That's right. I don't know how,

you won't believe it, but they
opened that iron gate...

while it was electrified.
And it's really heavy.

Was it just like... magic?

Tell me, Gustavo, what was
stolen?

Or maybe they just came in here
for a night stroll?

Ronaldo? We must go to the greenhouse.

Right now.

[tense music]

[soft tribal music]

[radio host] On the eve of the
UFN Forum

that will happen at Rio de Janeiro,

there’s tension in the air.
At the time of Penumbra,

leaders of key nations will
debate with Luminum’s CEO

about the best way
to navigate the current crisis.

There still isn’t a common
ground concerning

Wild Mugwort production.

For everyone’s safety,
authorities advise

to avoid walking in the
downtown area

and getting closer
to the Margem Neighborhood,

until the situation settles.

[girl on the radio] Everything
we’re going through right now,

all this fear,

is the Descendants' fault.
There’s no way around it.

They insist on growing ill*gal

- plants.
- [Hera sighs]

Can you imagine
if everyone planted

whatever they wanted,

at any time, any place,

even with lots of people saying
that it shouldn’t be done.

Wild Mugwort is a fragile plant.
Everyone knows that.

This must stop.

[man on the radio] How can they
have this forum

without any Descendant
spokesperson?

There was no one there.

If you’re talking about Wild Mugwort,

you should talk to one of them,

it’s essential! They should

- have been--
- [clicking]

[Hera sighs]

Brothers and sisters...

I've made a decision.

Without Mugwort,
our people are getting sick.

We can't wait any longer.

I'll be away for a few days,

but I'll be back with answers.

What's your plan, Hera?

Something Akashi should've done
long ago.

Get some rest, wait for me.

Fer...

[soft music]

You're in charge. Take care of everyone.

[Ana] What about Kwame?

He'll be back.

[Hera sighs]

- For Aruna.
- [everyone] For Aruna.

- [Juno yawns]
- [fizzling]

I think that encouraging Mima
to use magic

is a mistake, Latifa.

She has powers, Cloe.

We must understand what is
going on,

and have her by our side.

We don't know what she's
capable of doing.

I like her.

Sure, she still has much to learn,

but we could teach her.

You're letting mistrust
get the best of you.

- Me?
- [Juno] Uh-huh.

That's impossible!
My main focus is still Aruna.

Oh! I think it's getting
slightly bluer.

[Viberto] Good morning!

I've prepared
a nice and complete breakfast.

I saw you were up until late.

- [Juno] Yeah...
- [Cloe] You saw?

Are you spying on us?

Cloe, don't!

Oh... I'm sorry.

[Cloe breathes heavily]

I need some air.

I'm sorry, Mr. Viberto.

[soft music]

[Latifa] Trying is the first step.

Use your powers to stop him, Mima.

There's always a first time.
Use your heart.

You were very brave today, Mima.

[Cloe sighs]

[breathing heavily]

[soft music]

What do you want here?

I wanted to talk to Latifa.

She can't talk right now.
She's busy with the potion.

We all are.

I know, but it's important.

And the potion we're making is
not?

Cloe... I want to apologize for yesterday.

- I know that I didn't--
- I didn't expect anything.

- You're not one of us.
- I know.

But maybe, if you could teach me...

- I would love that.
- Mima, get this straight.

The less you get in our way,
the better for all of us.

I don't want to be a witch, I
just want to understand

what is going on with me.

- This magic, I don't--
- Mima. Magic...

Magic is what we make of it.

If you don't want to be a witch,
what would you do with it?

- I... I...
- [Cloe sighs]

Mima, face it. This is not for you.

[Mima hyperventilates]

[vibrations]

[Cloe] I don't trust her.

I can't.

When I trusted the most, I was betrayed.

Who gave you the right to invade...

It wasn't your fault.

Mima, what's wrong?

Let's go. We're late, let's go.

[sad music]

[tense music]

[Bruma exhales]

"Nothing was stolen," was it?

Thank goodness it was only a sprout.

A highly valuable sprout was
stolen right under your nose.

By Descendants.

Ronaldo, I want to see
the safety cameras' footage.

Right now.

The thing is...

the security cameras... for
some reason...

they were facing the walls.

[suspenseful music]

But Gustavo saw the trespassers.

Maybe he can do a facial
composite?

Are you telling me
that you've failed pathetically

and you are now suggesting...

an amateurish way to deal with
it?

Ronaldo, I'll take care of it.

On my own, as always.

A single one...

- [school bell rings]
- [Elisa] Good morning!

I'm here to make an announcement
about the Young Patron.

I'll steal just a minute
of the teacher's time.

- We're sorry.
- [Elisa] Good morning,

take your seats.

It's an announcement
about the Young Patron.

[Elisa] In the next stage,

we'll start the biggest
challenge of this selection.

Working together!

I'm sure that working in pairs

will be inspiring for the whole
school, right, teacher?

Well, we'll draw lots to form
the pairs,

and the theme they'll be faced
with is...

"differences!"

What does it mean to be
"different"?

What are
"differences"?

Ok? Good luck to all of you.

We'll meet again.
Thank you, teacher. Bye-bye!

That was especially made for
you, huh, buddy? [chuckles]

It's fine, as long as my pair
isn't...

So, it seems we'll have to do it
together, huh?

Just my luck...

It would be so good to compete
alone. You have no idea.

[sighs]

Hey, we'd better split up, ok?

I work on my ideas, you work on
yours and then we'll

see what we do
about them.

Deal? I'll be here.

[groovy music]

[Caio sighs]

I need to find a way to go
inside that van.

Then I can enter Luminum.

Listen, boy,

I'll put you on a bus
and you'll only get off

when you're near the camp.

I don't want to hear any of
your bright ideas, for Aruna!

Are you listening?

BUS STOP

What, me? I won't do anything,
zero ideas.

I need to find out what Luminum
is hiding.

There's something fishy.

- [beeping]
- [typing]

Is this what I think it is?

It's just Luminum's security systems.

I'm trying to be plugged in for longer,

but a firewall's kicking me out.

Doing this all the time is
annoying, but I'll

but I'll figure it out.

I can take whatever info I want.

How did you learn all of this?

It's not a big deal.

[computer beeping]

This will help.

I'll deal with Hera later.

Let's go, boy, before I change
my mind.

Wait for me.

[liquid bubbling]

[grunts] I can't do it!

I give up! [sighs]

What is going on, Cloe?

She accessed me. Like it was nothing.

All that feeling of being
exposed is back.

[sighs] Estela would never do that.

So it's true.

She does have powers!

She just needs a chance, Cloe.

You know about losing control
better than anyone.

It's the only way.

[dramatic music]

I feel that only the four of us together

can complete this quest.

[Cloe sighs]

Of course we have to mention
the UFN as a positive example.

It's a conciliation space.

No, I disagree. And seriously, dude?

This is the most obvious
argument ever.

[Caio] Nope.

- Caio...
- [Caio grunts]

Sincerely,

you're the best competitor at
this school.

- I agree.
- For real, I wish I had

your self-esteem.

But it won't matter if we're
not together.

The two of us in the next stage
is our school's

biggest chance
of winning.

Anything else is self-sabotage.

So let's try to find some common
ground and do

and do our best.

For our school.

[soft music]

What do you say?

I say that you're wrong.

Our school has two students
who can win this competition.

For our school.

Let's go.

This is why you called me?

Because of a plant?

[tense music]

The Wild Mugwort is what my
business is built on, Morais.

And a criminal act like this,
so close to the forum,

may as well be a t*rror1st act, Morais.

My guards are sure they were Descendants.

They're sure?

Without evidence, Bruma?

We'll be accused of persecution.

And besides, that plant could
be anywhere.

Where else would it be?

I can't believe you summoned
the state's secretary

of public security

to solve your issues with those people.

You should deal with this scorn

you have against them, for your
own sake.

I'm very well advised, Secretary.

But I'll keep your advice in mind.

As should you also keep in mind

those who helped you...

get where you are.

I think it's time for you

to repay my generosity.

[mumbles]

I may be able

to do something subtle.

Oh, I'm sure you can.

[Morais sighs]

That was all, Morais.

Secretary, please.

[Bruma sighs]

[tense music intensifies]

Officer, I told you I don't
know a thing.

How many times do I have to say
it?

Besides, you don't have
permission to enter--

We decide who needs permission.

Search everything.

- Hey, hold on, stop!
- On the wall, punk!

- Open your bag, right now!
- What's going on?

- Search in the neighborhood.
- A search?

- Quick, don't waste my time!
- No one is a criminal here.

Oh, yeah?

And where's Luminum's Wild
Mugwort?

Mugwort? What are you talking
about?

If we find out you're hiding anything...

Get out, get lost! Come on.

[action music]

THE GUARDIANS WILL BE BACK

[Ariel sighs]

[grunts]

Ow, buddy, I'm beat.

But at least Caio and I were
able to communicate.

[Ariel chuckles]

But now I'm even more scared, like,

what if I lose control again,
by his side?

I swear I'll move schools.

There's only one way
to deal with this, buddy.

- Practice.
- Yeah, sure.

After the earful I got from
Cloe earlier?

They'll never want to help me again.

Yeah. Learning with them would
be awesome.

But wouldn't you take help...

I don't know...

from a specialist?

Buddy, listen, check this out.

We know you lose control when
there's a...

like an interference of
emotions, right?

So, there must be something to
help you syntonize,

like an antenna.

Something that will help you focus.

Ok, I'll try it.

[Mima grunts]

Let's do it.

- Ok, I'll try again.
- Good.

sh**t! I'll never find my
gesture!

Calm down.

You're in the right direction, ok?

Ok.

Now, try focusing on me. Focus.

[soft music]

[rumbling]

[rumbling intensifies]

[Ariel] It worked! It worked!

It worked, buddy!

[Ariel breathes heavily]

[Mima] Ariel? Buddy?

Ariel, wake up!

[Mima pants]

[tense music]

I shouldn't have tried. What
have I done?

Calm down.

Refluxum Aquarium Regi.
Refluxum Aquarium Regi.

Refluxum Aquarium Regi.

Refluxum Aquarium Regi.

[Juno chuckles in relief]

Guys? What is this?

Surprise party for me?

[everyone laughs in relief]

- Yeah, he'll be all right.
- He will.

Mima...

our training worked, buddy!

[laughs] Ariel...

you passed out. It doesn't seem
like it worked very well.

[Latifa grunts in disapproval]

I think we'll skip a stage.

Mima, you're coming with us.

- For Aruna.
- For Aruna.

[bubbling]

What is she doing here?

[Latifa] Come.

Go easy. I believe in you, Mima.

And I believe in you as well, Cloe.

- No, I don't want to.
- You need this, Cloe.

Soothe your heart.

[soft hopeful music]

[Mima breathes in]

[tinkling]

[Cloe] He betrayed me!

She must have come this way.
Will I still get my reward?

[sobs]

My husband turned me in to the Order.

Why did I trust him?

That's the only way to love,
Cloe. Trusting.

- You did nothing wrong.
- Cloe, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to invade you
earlier. It was wrong.

I need to learn how to control this.

[Latifa] It's time.

Can I borrow your encyclopedia?

It's time for you to learn more.

[Ariel sighs]

[engine rumbles]

[Akashi sighs]

[Akashi] Thank you.

A friend extending a hand?

[Joel and Akashi grunt]

Are you a nanny now?

[Joel] This place
is completely out of the grid.

You know the deal, right?

Who will bother a human that's
favorable to the

Descendants' cause

when my reputation as a thug
comes first?

I'd rather keep my soft heart a secret.

It's not the best shelter in
the world,

- but at least you'll be safe.
- Thank you, Joel.

Now, the pressing matter.

We'll need this place for that
mission I told you about.

While you're still stumbling,
my friend, I'm running ahead.

You'll find everything you need here.

Entrance keys, Luminum's
security card,

the guards' shift schedules,

times to enter without being noticed.

[Akashi] Thank you, brother.

[grunts]

- I really appreciate it.
- I don't want any

trouble with Hera.

[computer beeping]

Ok, let's draw up a plan.

[soft music]

When the four clans
got together in the woods

to watch the total solar eclipse,

in the exact moment
between the lining of the stars,

Aruna fell from the heavens.

[Latifa] We brought it gifts
related to our elements.

I gave it minerals,

Juno, clear water,

Cloe, scented herbs,

and Estela, a poem representing
the heart.

With this gesture,
the Bloodlines awoke to magic,

and our offerings became
magical stones.

But fear was quick to arrive.

What if Aruna became
the reason for a dispute...

a w*r against humans?

That's when Estela started
humming a song

that soothed everyone's hearts.

She was able to turn bad
feelings into good ones.

And nothing was more powerful
and needed,

in those darker times, than goodness.

[inspiring music]

But Estela... I could never
find much about her.

What happened to her?

Where's the magical stone?

Estela... couldn't reach us.

The village was decimated, and she...

I'm sorry.

But we'd like to learn more
about her.

Well, for starters,

Estela had this gorgeous,

golden and shiny strand of hair.

Oh, it was beautiful!

[soft music]

[Pedro] No one is a criminal here.

[officer] Oh, yeah?

And where's Luminum's Wild
Mugwort?

[Ronaldo] Yeah, what happened
at the Margem is...

hurting our image.

Badly.

[officer] Go, get lost, punk!

We received a notice from the UFN

and they are rethinking your proposal.

Ronaldo, I need a coffee.

[Bruma] Right now!

[tense music]

[sighs]

- [tinkling]
- [gasping]

- [Juno] Mima!
- [chuckling]

[Juno] Mima!

You belong to the Bloodline of
the Heart!

It hasn't been lost!

And what does that mean?

This means that,
if your witch brand appears,

you'll be one of us, Mima!

A Guardian!

You didn't hurt me. You set me free.

[whooshing]

[laughter]

[everyone] For Aruna!

[epic music]
