02x07 - Dilemma

[bunniefuu]

-You set the theater on fire.
-Okay, yes! Cocó betrayed me.

I tried to do everything I could.
I hope someday you can understand.

[Cocó] I'm very sorry.

If Marco hadn't been involved
in all that musical theater, he'd be here.

Don't follow your mother's whims.

Clara, take a seat
and read the character of Luz.

I want to buy this building.

When I turn it into a cultural space,

the value will go up and it'll become
one of the best neighborhoods.

I just got this fishing pole as a gift
but I don't know how to use it.

[Franco] Where did you get that case?
I had the same one.

If you want to be a musical theater star,
keep fighting.

We have to keep Light Years going.
You and me.

No. Forget the musical.
You said it yourself.

Do you have
the Spanish producers' phone number?

[Félix] I have videos from rehearsals
and the night of the premiere.

And so, If I accomplish this mission,
I'll be able to stay here?

The travelers in purple
only have 12 days to achieve everything.

And you have...

You're here.

I was nearby and I came to say hello.

Where have you been?

I haven't seen you in six months.

[gasps] Six months.

I came to... to say goodbye.

Where are you going?

I...

I got a job abroad and...

I have to move.

You'll do great. You're very talented.

Your song came out beautifully.

Thanks to you,

for giving me the melody I was missing.

But... the lyrics are all yours,
and that's the best part about it.

I wrote it for someone really special.

I finished it thinking about him.

I'm sure he will love it.

Come here.

You're not leaving
before we sing it together.

[static]

[grunts]

[tape player static]

[Marco on tape player] Hi, Dad.

I have to tell you something
and I can't manage to tell you in person.

And I think this is the best way.

[piano playing]

[Marco] I understood that even though
we're passionate about different things,

the love that unites us is much stronger.

If I never told you before,

it was out of fear.

And for that, I'm sorry.

You always told me to find a big project

and to keep going until it was finished.

[on tape player] Well...

I found mine.

Music.

[piano continues]

[Marco on tape player] And,
like you taught me, I won't give it up.

I'm not going to give up
Mom's memory, either.

For me, growing up without her
was really sad.

But I still have her good qualities.

I remember her voice,

her sweetness,

which is enough for me to feel
closer to her than you would think.

You had her with you for so long,

I can't imagine
what her absence was like for you.

You were left alone with me.

And with a broken heart.

[on tape player] Even so...

[piano stops]

[chuckles]

[both laugh]

What is it?

Nothing, I'm just really happy to see you.

Like this. [laughs]

[Paloma] Yeah.

I still can't believe it.
Everything happened so fast.

[chuckles] You don't have to tell me.

For so long,
I hid what was going on with me,

afraid that Franco
wouldn't feel the same way,

that I forgot to live.

I lost so much time.

Well, the important thing is
that now you're getting it back.

And that I learned.

Hmm.

We shouldn't waste time on fear.

We have to take advantage
of everything life gives us.

And the best thing life gives us is this:

the present.

[scoffs]

Sorry.

I don't mean to be corny.

Not at all.

Thanks.

Well, I'm telling you that if you rehearse
a little more, you'll make a good duo.

[Paloma chuckles]

You want the bar to fail? Is that it?

Hey.

Congratulations.

I saw the sign on the door.

I saw that you have events every night.

Paloma is the best.

It's not just me. We have great artists.

No, but he's right. You're the best.

[Marco inhales sharply]

-Well, uh...
-[Franco] Wait.

Before you go, can you take our picture?
We don't have any of the two of us here.

[Marco] Oh. Yes.

So modern, no? [chuckles]

I know, don't worry.
I just got it. This happens to me too.

You look through here. Then you push
the red button and the picture comes out.

It's all good. [chuckles]

You can do it, hmm?

Oh. [laughs] Yes. The picture.

-Smile!
-[shutter clicks]

[camera whirs]

[Marco exhales] Here.

[sighs]

Well. I...

I'm gonna go.

[Paloma] Marco?

I hope this doesn't seem weird,

but... I just wanted to tell you
that I'm going to miss you.

Me too.

Me too.

Sorry. I don't know if it's the hormones
from the pregnancy. I'm emotional.

I know you're going,
and you're going far away,

but I'd love to see you again.

And for you to meet him.

I'll never forget you two.

See you.

Let's see.

[Marco and Paloma laugh]

[Paloma] Oh.

-[Franco] You look beautiful. Yes.
-[Paloma] Yeah?

No.

You look beautiful. What do you mean?

I need you to help me figure out
what Marco's mission is.

Uh... [sighs] Not... I can't right now.

Did you send the videos to the producers?

What do you mean you can't?
He has 15 hours left.

I'm not going to help Marco anymore.

-What I did discover is...
-Why aren't you going to help Marco?

Because I don't want him to stay.

You could've told me that a few days ago,

but you choose to tell me
now that he has less than a day left.

And when did you want me to tell you? Hmm?

Ever since Marco arrived,
you're with him all the time.

I even had to make up that documentary
to be with you, don't you see?

What?

You lied to me.

Yes.

And... [sighs]

I took Marco's cassette from you.

I... I was willing to do anything

to have a chance with you.

But I see now that I don't have one.

I thought we were friends.

We are friends.

Friends that lie to each other?

No, sorry,
but not everything I told you is a lie.

Félix...

I'm done with you.

[chuckles]

Okay, wait.

I discovered something important.
I think that the...

[footsteps departing]

-[door closes]
-[Franco] Come in, come in, ah?

-So, what brings you here?
-I brought you a gift.

-[Franco] For me?
-Yes.

Ooh, let's see.

Oh, you didn't have to, kid. What is it?

-I got it for you.
-Ooh! Thank you so much.

But you didn't have to. Thank you so much.

-You earned it.
-[Franco laughs]

[Marco]
For teaching me to fish with my pole.

You didn't have to do that.
It was a pleasure.

You're all ready to go.

[Franco] Yes. Almost.

And this?

Are these the blueprints
for your new house?

Uh, no. No, no, no. It's...

It's something else.

It looks like a big project.

It was.

What happened?

Time. Time.

[scoffs] It's never too late.
There's always a chance.

[Franco] Ah.

[beeping]

-[Franco] Can I offer you a drink?
-[sighs]

What's wrong?

Nothing.

No, no, no, but you're upset.
What... What is it?

You know when you have a big opportunity

and you think you're going to achieve
what you always dreamed,

but suddenly something comes up
and you can't find your way out?

Mmm.

So, I had been hired
to compose a song for a musical

and they closed the theater,

and it looks like we won't have
anywhere to perform.

And what's the play like?

Why do you want to know?

No, no reason.

Maybe we can think of something.

Ah.

-[phone beeps]
-Allegra,

-I know I was wrong, but I have to...
-Ugh.

-[phone vibrates]
-[sighs] Hello.

Allegra, it looks like my dad is on board
and we're brainstorming for Light Years.

Let's hope that's your big mission.

Just imagine if I can achieve my mission
and you your big dream?

We have to hurry.
First, we have to find Pedro.

And then let the whole world know
that Cocó is innocent.

I'll take care of that, and the producers.

Yes, I have to get my dad
to share his idea with Cocó.

[sighs]

We're going to succeed.

[Franco] And that stairway goes
to the second floor, eh?

Well, okay, the idea is not to be static,
for everything to happen here,

but for people to move, circulate,
go out, in, up, down, I don't know,

to be... to be free. [chuckles]

You're a genius.

We need to talk
to the director of the play right away.

All right.

-Do you want me to talk to her?
-Whatever you want.

Actually, when I think about it,

maybe it's best if you talk to Cocó.

-You can explain your idea better...
-Cocó who?

Cocó Sharp? Amelia Sharp?

-Yes, you know her?
-Yes, I know her.

Yes, I know her so well,
I'd rather have nothing to do with her.

[Franco clicks tongue]

[beeping tone]

[Pedro] I'm so sorry.
I honestly can't believe it.

Forgive me
for making you come all this way.

Good thing we learned about
Cocó and the theater in time.

We had other reasons to come.

No, I can imagine,
but either way, I sincerely apologize.

I spoke so highly of Cocó.

Well, you can never really know someone.

What happened is unbelievable.

[Cocó] That's right, Pedro.

It's unbelievable
that you've accused me of that crime

when it was you that committed it.

No. Excuse me. What are you talking about?

Don't bother pretending any longer.

Come with me, please.

-[officer] This way.
-All right. All right.

The end justifies the means.

I learned that from you, Cocó.

[officer] Come with us, sir.

It's been a pleasure.

-Nice to meet you.
-Likewise. Cocó Sharp.

Cocó, what can you tell us?

-No.
-[Allegra] I called her.

Everyone needs to know
that you're innocent.

All right. Tell the producers
what happened. I'll talk to her.

Hi. How are you? I'm Allegra...

Allegra Sharp. We were waiting for you.

[inhales sharply]
We saw your videos. And we loved them.

-You saw them?
-[producer] Mm-hmm.

Thank you so much,

but I had asked you to consider me
for your productions

because I didn't think we were going to
be able to put on the Light Years special.

With that scandal, I don't think you can.

No, no. We're going to.

What's more, you're invited.
I'm sure you'll love it.

We have a proposal for you.

We are opening a show in the West End.

And from what we've seen,
you could audition for the role.

-Me?
-[producer] Mm-hmm.

I would love to,
but Light Years is really important to me.

Allegra, our priority is
to break into the West End.

Everything else comes second.

I can't abandon Light Years.

-Shall we go?
-Uh, wait.

Is there any chance
that you'll come see the show?

Maybe that will change your minds.
I know you'll love it.

It's really special.

All right.

Our flight leaves tomorrow.

We could come take a look,
just as a courtesy.

As a courtesy.
But in exchange for one thing.

That you'll audition on Saturday.

Is it a deal?

I'll send you the address
as soon as I have it.

Thank you very much.

[cell phone buzzes]

[Marco, on phone] Come with Cocó
right away. We have to activate plan B.

[Marco]
What does it look like from up above?

Uh, we were just there.

No, I mean from farther up.

The balcony. That's it.
You can go up if you want.

[Cocó] Franco Resco?

You didn't tell me it was him.

What are you doing here?

Ah! You know each other.

I told you I wanted nothing to do
with Amelia Sharp.

You wish.

This place is a mess.
It wouldn't work for a show.

You never change.

-[no audible dialogue]
-[Cocó] Neither do you.

What a shame. Pride gives you no peace.

[wind howls]

Yes, yes.

I really like this space.

The character of Luz could be
the connecting thread throughout the play.

I saw something very similar recently
in New York, but it hasn't been done here.

[laughs]

I really hate to admit it,

but I was wrong.

You had a great idea.

I always have.

Do we have a deal, then?

Coproducer here and in Madrid,

if the opening is a success, of course.

Excuse me.
You think you can put on a play here?

Yes.

In this space, we will make Light Years

a once-in-a-lifetime experience
for the audience.

We're keeping the original script, right?

Of course.

And Fausto's song, too.

I need a stage manager.

[Allegra] Here she is.

Excuse me, Cocó.

Pedro promised me that if I helped him,
we would clear my father's name.

And I believed him.

I failed you. I know.

And I was left alone again.

Call the whole cast.
I want them here rehearsing in one hour.

And notify everyone who bought a ticket
that the show is on,

but in this new theater space.

Now!

[journalist] After the dismissal
of the case against her

for the theater fire,

Cocó Sharp returns to the stage
with her granddaughter.

The new staging for Light Years
promises to surprise one and all.

Are you ready?

We did it.

I'm not sure yet.

You'll see.

When your dad sees
that his project was a success,

you'll have completed your mission.

I don't know what you did
to convince the Spanish producers to come,

but if this turns out well,
I'm going to stay with you.

I lied to them.

What?

I had to lie to the producers
to convince them.

They proposed
that I audition for a musical

that they're opening in London,

and I told them I would,

in exchange
for them coming to see Light Years.

But, after the show, I'll tell them
I'm not going to do the audition.

But... but it's a great opportunity.

Isn't that what you've always dreamed of?

Yes, well, but...

I don't know.
Now I have more important things to do.

I'm going to get ready.

[sighs]

[beeping]

Call her again.

-[Allegra] What happened?
-We lost Clara.

What? What happened to her?

Oh, no idea, sweetie.
I'm calling and calling, and no answer.

What are we going to do?

The only one who knows the choreography

and the play perfectly is...

Don't even think about it. Allegra,
I said it before, and I'll say it again.

No, what do you mean before?
When did you tell her?

I...

I had thought about
doing the play without you.

Sorry. I thought
you weren't coming back and...

[gasps]

That's okay. I would have done the same.

I know what to do. I'll adapt the script,
remove Clara's character.

Impossible. We need that character.

Mom, you'll be incredible.

I can't play the role
of a 17-year-old girl.

With the magic of theater, you can.

Makeup!

[Caterina] But...

Oh, no.

[Félix]
If Marco's mission is related to Franco,

then the curse would be...

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.

A few days ago,

this space was an abandoned building

and thanks to teamwork,

hard work, commitment,

the love of music and art,

today this space is a theater.

[audience cheers]

Thank you so much, dear cast.

Thank you, Caterina. Thank you, Allegra.

My family.

Thank you, Bárbara, our stage manager.

Thank you, Diego, the musical director.

And Fausto,
with his great potential as a composer.

And to you, Franco Resco,

the old friend that came back to remind me

that there are bonds that never break.

[chuckles]

Thanks to you, dear audience,
for being here.

[audience applauds, cheers]

Allegra.

I am so proud of you.

Fortunately, it all worked out.

No, no, I'm not talking about the show.

I was about to give up, and thanks to you,

I remembered something
that happened to me years ago.

If you really want something, work hard

and go all in to get it,

even if it's hard, even if it hurts.

I promise you that in the end,
you will be rewarded.

Go on. Do it.

[thunderclap]

[thunder rumbling]

Here you are.

Marco, I was thinking about the audition
and I'm reconsidering it...

[beeping]

Are you okay?

No. I don't understand.

I did everything I had to do.
Everything worked out.

The last knot untied.
Why won't it deactivate?

-I only have four minutes left.
-Marco, your dad is leaving.

-No, I can't let him leave.
-[Félix] Wait.

-[Allegra] What are you doing here?
-I found something.

And why should we believe you?

Because you know me,
and... and I would do anything to help you.

[pants] Every mission requires a sacrifice

or it will be cursed.

What does that mean?

If you don't fulfill your mission,
something awful will happen to your dad.

The thing is, to fulfill it,

you'll have to sacrifice something

and give up the desire
that brought you here.

[thunderclap]

So I never had a chance
of staying with you.

If I fulfill my mission,

then I'll disappear.

But, what is it?

Think.

My dad went back
to being who he used to be.

He recovered his big project.

He had a new idea
that motivated him to go on.

He has almost everything now.

The only thing he doesn't have is me.

But your dad can't get you back.

[Paloma] We have to take advantage
of everything life gives us.

And the best thing life gives us

is this: the present.

[Marco] We did it.

I'm a musician.

Three minutes left. What are you gonna do?

Marco?

I'm going to give my dad
the only thing I have to give him.

This moment together.
