01x36 - Under the Marquis' Cape

[bunniefuu]

CREATED BY CRIS MORENA

MARGARITA
MAKE YOUR STORY COUNT

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

It would be foolish for our nations
to keep fighting

FRANCE EMBASSY

over such irrelevance.

I agree, mon cher marquis.

I think we've taught
the world a great lesson.

-Exactly. See you.
-Merci.

-Au revoir.
-See you soon.

You can come out now,
ma petite espionne.

Finally. I thought you'd never
solve the problems.

That's why you're
the best diplomat in the world.

Let's celebrate since everyone's happy.

But pay attention.

It's one of the most important lessons
I'll teach you.

You can't always trust smiles or hugs,

or even those
who bare their teeth like a dog.

There's a public diplomacy,

and a hidden one,
happening behind the scenes.

Did I ever tell you
about the Marquis of Esquilache?

He was the minister
of King Charles III of Spain,

and he had the idea of banning men
from wearing capes and hats,

so they couldn't hide weapons.

A bit naive, perhaps,

but the Marquis knew we should worry

about what's hidden beneath the cape.

I want the Delfina seal
to be the focus of the day's agenda.

And I want you to move
the contest final

ahead of the Patron of the Future
award ceremony.

The ceremony is in two weeks,
and the contest final is in a month.

I know. Do I tell you
when to go to the hairdresser?

No, although I should.

But I respect you, so show some respect.

Brainstorming, I'm thinking,
it could be like a musical,

highlighting my commitment
to the environment.

SPEECH FROM MERLÍN PIETRO,
PRINCE OF KRIGORAGÁN

LIVE

Sorry for ignoring you,

but if I don't pay attention,
I don't understand.

That's okay. You'll tell me later.

What did he say?

As much as everyone loves Margarita,

they mustn't forget the true princess,

the daughter of King Maximo,
which is me.

So brave.

That's great for you.

I always thought it'd be impossible
to return to Krikoragán,

as a princess or as a queen.

But the prince himself
wants to give me back the throne.

I don't know.

Maybe I should practice
everything Ada taught me.

Ada, where are you when I need you?

I'm sure she'll call you.

Are you moved?

I didn't know you cared so much
about being queen.

It excites me to think that maybe

this is justice for my parents.

I'll solve your problem today.

I expect the same from you.

Some people spend their entire lives

hiding their tricks under a cape.

I'm proud to see you fulfilling

the duty you were born to fulfill.

You look like a king, nephew.

But I had the best teacher,

and that's why I'm an expert
at uncovering what people hide,

even behind smiles and capes.

UNDER THE MARQUI'S CAPE

You can't imagine the tension.

Everyone wants to be in the final,

but I'm going to win.

But that's not the priority.

Rey is, because I want to help
his family.

I love you all, too, ÚnicaDevils.

I have so much to tell you,
but not now.

You'll have to wait.

RECENT IMAGES FROM PRINCE MERLIN

Sweetheart.

-What?
-Say hi to the ÚnicaDevils.

Hey, guys.

They loved what we did the other day.

Shall we give them more?

Sure, we will.

I don't understand
people who like birthdays.

It's constant stress.

I don't get why you should worry
about others having fun on your day.

And what face do you
make during "happy birthday"?

Just smile, Zeki.

If you don't like celebrating,
why create this look?

Because I only do it every four years.

Even if I hate it,
I can't miss the chance to celebrate.

And to get presents.

You better give me a gift.

Did you give me one?

Don't be cheeky. I didn't know you then.

But you met me later, and I got nothing.

Maybe you'll have to wait
four more years.

Another thing I hate about my birthday

is it'll be over 95 degrees.

I'd love to spend it with you.

In London.

I'd love London

since I imagine
it's way cooler than here.

It's boiling here,
though you're in a T-shirt.

Yes. It was cold,

but you know how it is.

Here in London, it's cold one day,
and warm the next.

No. It's deforestation,
and it's happening everywhere.

Happy birthday to you!

Make a wish!

What are you doing here?

You, Petra, I understand,
you're struggling with the language.

But, Mei and Alaska?

There's a sign that says "do not enter."

We came to say happy birthday.

You should know
my birthday starts after six.

Also, I'm talking to my boyfriend.
So, bye.

Thanks.

Talking to your boyfriend?

I didn't say that.

Yes, you did.

Either you're talking to someone else,
or I'm your boyfriend.

No, don't get me wrong,
that doesn't mean...

Besides,
they don't even know who you are.

Were you upset?

No way. In fact, it was beautiful.

Wasn't it?

I know we've gone too far,
but we did it...

At the cost of innocent lives,
that's going "too far."

The kingdom was in danger,

and force was the only way
we could protect it.

Mar is right.

What you did was cruel.

I know, but fortunately,
things have changed.

Now you're here, Merlin,
to oversee the crown's renewal.

Thanks for your trust.

Please speak to the council,

to release the documents
about Daisy's family.

You know it's difficult.

But necessary.

I'd like Daisy and everyone exiled
to return to Krikoragán.

I'll consider your request,
but we need time.

Now come with me.

We have a meeting with investors
who want to make deals.

I can't.

Mar and I are going to the orphanage,

to visit the children of prisoners
and w*r victims.

Merlin, you need to attend
business meetings

and diplomatic agreements.

You're the king.

I already gave my word to the kids.
That's also part of being king.

Yes, Your Majesty. Excuse me.

I've never seen him like this.

I think when he saw
how much people adore us,

he realized they did everything wrong.

Or maybe he's just trying to fool you.

I don't think so. He's my uncle.

I know him, he'd never do that.

Lies have an expiration date, Merlin.

You've got a saying for everything.

Oui.

And once I learn Krikon,
nobody will stand a chance.

What are you doing?

Mind your manners, you're the prince.

Don't congratulate me, Pipe.

It's bad luck before the birthday,
and I'm already unlucky.

Why do I sabotage myself
by falling in love

during the final
of the most important contest?

What's the problem? Love inspires us.

We're preparing
an amazing presentation.

Not everyone is lucky enough
to find someone like you.

Some people have to settle for crumbs.

I don't fit in here anymore.

I went from beloved princess to hated.

And now, ignored.

Since Única clung to Rey, I don't exist.

I'm not even trying
for the final challenge.

At least for Zeki,
bad luck in love became inspiration.

I love your look.

You've no idea
how my creative blocks work.

We were doing great,
but I think I caught him lying.

He said that it's warm in London,
but I checked the weather,

it's 27 degrees.

What? Was I toxic?

Aren't you tired
of rubbing your joy in our faces?

Didn't you have two girlfriends?

Hey. It's been a while.

I know you're the ones who hacked me
and posted those horrible things.

But don't worry. I won't report it.

I know I messed up by lying
and playing both sides.

But it's my heart's fault.
It's just too big.

I didn't know which one to choose,
because I liked you both.

How cute, right, Calu?

Yes, very cute.

So, now that it's clear,
let's start fresh?

I promise I won't lie
or cheat on you two anymore.

May the best one win.

We don't need to fight over you, Sasha.

We're dating those two over there.

Why don't you take this
and throw it away for me?

Thanks.

Hi.

This is the biggest romantic fail.

According to statistics,
it's unlikely to succeed in love.

Otto and Mei made it,
which proves the statistics right.

But you didn't do so bad either.

That's true.
My compatibility with Juli is high.

We're waiting for the perfect moment
for our first kiss.

What are you thinking about?

People value coincidences way too much.

Like liking the same music,
being the same sign or living nearby.

It seems silly to me,

but I respect it because Juli likes it.

I don't get it.
Where are you going, Romeo?

I'll create the ideal conditions
for a casual encounter.

But how?

I'll install an app on her phone
to track her.

-What?
-What?

What's the news, Ju?

Thanks to my ears,

I heard Delfina wants
to move the contest final up,

before her awards ceremony.

She's got what she wanted.
Why would she want teens at her place?

She has no ideas of her own.

All of her ideas are inspired
by Margarita's.

Seems like there's no shortage of ideas.

And since we're so kind,
we'll give her an iconic cover:

"Delfina Santillán: Lies and Deceit."

But...

if she doesn't want the world
to find out about her crimes,

she'll have to transfer us
every single cent

from her bank accounts.

Because we're good...

But not fools.

And we charge for our services.

Even if it's for a short time,

those kids will forget
about their sadness.

Was it really sad
living in an orphanage?

I was already older when I got there.

But let's say
the worst that happens there,

I saw and lived it.

So I know how important it is
to get some affection.

It's also important
for me to get some affection.

Poor rich boy who has it all.

That's not fair.

What a spoiled prince.
Don't make those puppy eyes.

Alright, I'll give you some.

And a little more for the road.

The last one.

Mar.

Thanks for being here.

I don't even know who to thank more.

I don't know if it was
the Krikoragán's elves

or your fairies.

But you're making me very happy.

Me too.

I don't know why,

but I feel a strange nostalgia
being here.

I want the most iconic cover
we've ever made.

An interactive multimodal cover.

-Like always.
-No.

Not like always, Yamila. Much better.

I want people to be able
to smell through the screen.

What's the concept, Delfy?

The patronage, the contest,
the people, my artists.

Everything that led me to the award.

-Sure.
-And I'm in the center.

So perfect.

-Delfina.
-What?

-Can we talk?
-Not now.

I'm working.

-Salo?
-Yes.

We need to invite the nominees
who didn't win.

I don't remember their names. Do you?

-I do, my love.
-You're so sweet.

Let me tell you something.

When this girl gets on a pedestal,
no one can knock her down.

I don't know why she's so calm.
We could go down at any moment.

I don't remember your name.
Galo, that's it.

I need to talk to your boss.

Just a second.

Excuse me.

It's not Galo, idiot.

How can you be this clueless?

You're jealous,
and have no self-control.

But deal with it.
We're not together anymore.

I'm a happy woman.

I couldn't care less about your history
with that hippie, chihuahua

that smells like sandalwood and vanilla.

But we have unfinished business.

Small unfinished business.

-Tell me then.
-Want to know?

What are we going to do
with the people we kidnapped?

Shut your mouth!

How can you talk about this here?

Can't you see there are cameras?
And microphones and people.

You take care of it!
That's what I pay you for!

Pipe! I miss you, my friend.

We've never spent so long apart.

You finally answered. Can you talk?

Yes, I can talk.

They haven't cut my tongue yet.

Are you alone?

No, Merlin's here. Say hi.

I'll call you later. Bye.

Hold on. What's wrong?
Why are you upset?

Nothing, call me when you're alone.

Come on, Pipe.
Mar and I have no secrets.

And you're almost my brother-in-law.

What?

Nothing, the air here
makes him say nonsense.

Anyway, spit it out.
And you, close your ears.

Daisy's with Fach.

No way, that's impossible.

She doesn't like him that much,

and I've got a sharp nose for romance.

Fach's too mysterious.
Daisy won't fall for that.

But she has.

They kissed. I saw it.

And she didn't tell me?

Why does this always happen?

Do I just look like a friend?

Don't worry, Pipe. It's like I said.

You just have to wait for the right one.

I thought the right one was Daisy.

That's why I tried to set you up,
and I still think so.

I swear she's piperized,
or I'm not Margarita Martinez.

Don't give up.

Look at my case, Pipe.

After everything, I never gave up.

And now...

Are you two dating?

No. I have to go. We just got here.

Don't forget to water my thistle.

Merlin's engagement to Princess Petra
was left in the oblivion.

Although their romance isn't official,

the prince never leaves
Princess Margarita's side,

as everyone calls his mysterious friend.

Stop torturing yourself.

It's pointless.

Relax, I'm just watching the news.

Don't treat me like a fool.

If you don't want to talk, fine.

I'm here if you need anything.

Do you miss her?

Doesn't matter. I don't deserve her.

I acted like an idiot.

I got mad over nothing,
and now she's gone.

And Única? What do you feel for her?

I like Única,
but I can't forget about Mar.

I know you always like to surprise me,

but tell me something, please.

Alright, I'll show you.

I always told you
I only dressed queens.

But this time,

I'm going to turn you into an empress.

It's your best creation.

But that's not all.

I want to add a crown
with diamonds and rubies,

like a queen from Krikoragán.

You're so talented It's spectacular.

It's the least I can do for you,

after you waved
your magic wand over me.

It's not like that.

You're really talented.

You paved your own way.

I just gave you a little help.

But that's what queens do.

I know it wasn't easy

being the sister of a modern Cinderella
of the 21st century.

Maybe.

You're not wrong,

but the truth is her only merit
was marrying a count.

But I, on the other hand,

fought for my dreams,
built it all from scratch,

and I'm still here.

You did it.

You became an empowered woman.

You chased your dreams with dignity,
and that's amazing.

What's this, dear?

Is this another Yanina,

the one following you around,
like a clown?

No, Mom.
Her name's not Yanina, it's Yamila.

Thank you. See you later.

Yanina, Yamila, Yayayu, Yayiyu.

Nice to meet you. Catalino.
I'll leave you.

My name's Malala, Catalino.

Yes. No, I...

-Catalino.
-Yes.

Anyway, my dear,

be careful with this dream
of wanting to be queen.

You know how it ends, right?

Very badly.

How can you be like this?

Now that I have my dream,
now that I have everything I want,

why do you need to make
everything bitter?

Do you envy me that much?

You can sell this farce to everyone.

You do it better than me.

But I know perfectly

that you're a monster.

It's unbelievable how happy they got
just for getting a few toys.

Yes.

What is normal for some,
is a huge deal for others.

I'll have the place renovated,
find their parents,

and start the adoption process.

I knew you'd be a good king.

Ali.

Hi!

Merlin, I've been waiting
for you for two hours.

I didn't know you were here.
How are you?

Good. I'm studying for my French test.

So meet the best French teacher,
Mademoiselle Margarita.

Bonjour, Margarita, je suis Ali.

Ton frére... Ton frére?

No, brother-in-law is beau-frère.

The Pietro brothers
love to label relationships.

Don't jump ahead, petit prince.
Je suis une amie.

Friends?

Friends don't kiss on the mouth.

I saw. Everyone saw.

Listen, where's Mom? Have you seen her?

She didn't come. She stayed with dad.

Why are you alone?

I'm going to be king. Didn't you know?

That was before.

Now I'm taking care of this.

Uncle brought me and said I'd be king.

Take the crown prince to his quarters.

Malek. Ali.

This land doesn't accept traitors.

Therefore,
in the name of the royal council,

you're exiled from Krikoragán.

You and your beloved.

What's this? Are you mad?

No! Don't touch me!

What have you done, Erasmus?

-Do it during the flight.
-Yes, sir.

The Marquis of Esquilache

thought that by prohibiting men
from wearing capes,

he'd see if men hid knives.

You can go.

I don't think it's romantic fate
if she sees us together.

Fine, but this has to be the last time.

The last time.

Wait, Pipe.

Margarita's right.

About what?

I heard what was said on the video call.

I don't like Fach for Daisy either.
She's compatible with you.

If you want, take my test.
See for yourself.

No need, Romeo.

Thanks.

But even with no clothes at all,

you can't see what matters most,

hidden intentions.

Pipe, what a coincidence.

Yeah, what a coincidence.

What are you doing here?

I was escaping the bodyguards,
heading to the fountain, but I got lost.

It's the other way.

Good thing I bumped into you.

I don't know where I'd end up.

Maybe it's not fate,

but destiny.

Like a sign.

A sign of what?

That I shouldn't give up on you.

I know you're with Fach now.

I don't want to interfere,

but I want to take care of you.

I'm just reminding you that,
when you want,

I'll be here.

Like I said, when you say no,

I'll disappear.

But since you haven't,

I still have hope.

See you around.

When you want,
I'll teach you to walk without GPS.

Not all hidden intentions are bad.

The good ones
should be brought to light.

-Excuse me.
-Excuse me.

Have you seen Ada, Zeki?

Are you two going to be
stuck together all day?

Is that a problem?

Have you seen Ada or not?

Ask Daisy.

She probably went on vacation again.

Looks like you want a vacation too.

Thinking of going to London?

Until my savings allow it,

I'm content with little gifts for Jano.

Gifts?

Is it a birthday?

I wish. No.

His birthday was three months ago.

I didn't give him anything.

Now feels like the right time.

Quiet down.

-Hi!
-Hi.

Put me on video call.

Hey. I'm looking for Jano. Is he there?

Jano's not here.

Do you know where he is?
When will he be back?

Here, on the phone.

Actually, Jano was never here.

I don't know what happened,
but he didn't come.

I knew it. He lied.

There's a difference
between what is said and done.

It leaves us
full of doubts and insecurities.

Feeling so alone

Life's pulse within
Has grown

Just breathing
Waiting for you, my love

Unsure where I'll roam
Where I go, and who I am

Such a lovely song.

Thank you.

I've been so inspired lately.

Única, I need to talk.

I don't want to lie to you.

And Única? What do you feel for her?

I like her, but I can't forget Mar.

I...

Wait.

Where I leap
And what I risk

Embracing my own abyss

In the heights
I tremble, it's true

Yet stronger now
I start anew

Where I leap
And what I risk

Just floating
In tempestuous skies

In deep waters
My spirit flies

It knows where I leap
It knows my abyss

I know what you want to say.

I love you too.

I've acted so tough all this time

because it was hard to admit.

Maybe I was scared,

but I don't want to be anymore.

Now that you've taught me to be better,

I can show you

how much I can love you.

I didn't know you were here.
Have you arrived?

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Are you feeling sick?

I got an anonymous email.

I'm worried.

Why? What does it say?

That you were arrested 17 years ago

for kidnapping a baby.

No.

No.

No, this...

This is awful.

People make things up.

And now? Of all times?
What a coincidence, right?

But, as always,
people see you happy and...

Delfina, have you been in prison?

I won't deny that, as a teen,

I did things I shouldn't have.

I got into avoidable situations.

My friends didn't help.

That can happen.

I don't like
the way you're looking at me.

You look like you're accusing me,
as if you believe this.

If I believed it,
we wouldn't be talking to you.

We're adults. I need to understand
why I got this email.

I need to know how much truth
there is to this story.

You're not having a conversation.

You're blaming me
for something I didn't do.

That's what you're doing.

Yes, I have a dark side,

I have a toxic side,
but no more than you.

But I didn't...

It hurts me to think
you opened that email,

knowing it said something bad.

I'd never do that to you.

I'd never do that to you.

If I saw someone
saying bad things about you,

I wouldn't read it.

You're right.

I shouldn't have opened it.

No, you shouldn't have.

You shouldn't have.

Because I can assure you
I am that woman

fun and joyful,

and a little stubborn,

who you fell in love with.

Sorry.

Sorry, just a second.

The plan's underway.

Do your part.

Very well.

These journalists
are driving me mad.

They want to interview me
about the Patron of the Future.

You have beautiful eyes.

Such desperation and madness.
You're so handsome.

You're beautiful.

No one's more beautiful than you.

Since Caesar and Brutus,

the issue with traitors
is that they go unnoticed.

What are you doing?

Ruling, Elke.

Given your Pio's health situation,

and the public resignation
of your incompetent son,

the Royal Council
has decided Ali will be the new king.

He's ten years old.

Yes, so until he's of age,

he will be assisted
by a committee I lead.

Escort her, please.

Let her go.

Let her go!

Stop, let her go!

What is this, Merlin?

They'll do to us
what they did to Maximo and Florencia.

No.

He's your uncle.

He wouldn't do this to you.

You go away
And then, you appear

I look for you
But you're not there

At night
I think of you

And sometimes
I can't get through

This game is so insane

I don't want to play again

Nor be the one who cries
And searches for you

Even knowing
You won't be there too

This is not a game
And all is real

I know how much I love you

And sometimes I can't deal

I don't want to lose you
Nor make you cry

I dream awake
Of seeing you nearby

I dream
That you will arrive

If you want to hurt me

I won't deny

I don't know how to defend

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
My heart's one and only love

I keep no more secrets
I confess

This is my truth

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
