A WORK BY CRIS MORENA

MARGARITA
MAKE YOUR STORY COUNT

[Margarita] Margarita! [chuckles]

[song concludes]

She was always a compulsive liar.
Jealous, mean. Poor.

I can't believe it,
it's like a soap opera!

DELFINA IS MEAN

-[intriguing music playing]
-Pregnant? She was never pregnant.

She even kidnapped a child, a girl.

Margarita.

May the masks fall off.

DELFINA DID THIS?
SHE KIDNAPPED A BABY?

A girl named Robertita said
she lived with Delfina during childhood

and she's just like that.

Now, knowing the cause,
I wish to give my contribution

to this viral thing
because I know the real Delfina.

"That's nothing, she's a witch,
worse than you imagine." [gasps]

It was worse with the Fritzenwaldens.
Life was impossible.

Wait. "A Fritzenwalden says,
when the brother died,

Delfina sent them to an orphanage."

And she hated Daisy's mom!

I was once in Delfina's claws
and I think of that when I remember...

-She was in jail! What?
-What?

IS THIS REAL? UNFOLLOWING

♪ Someone's got problems... ♪

[Margarita]
The hate is like a pressure cooker.

When it blows up...

[laughs]

...no one can stop the viral plague.

[notifications chime]

VIRAL

[music fades]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Delfina] Hello!

Anyone here?

-[gasps, exclaims]
-[music fades]

[Zeki] Why are you here?

We know you want what's not yours,
you only know how to steal!

But breaking and entering
is a crime, Delfina! Get out!

Whose payroll are you on?

I'm charging you
with intimidation and slander!

[screams] You animal!

[Margarita]
There was a roach, ma'am. Sorry.

Raul, go over there,
I'll handle the queen roach.

Please, what kind of insult is that?

If you want success in fashion,
get a haircut.

-[whimsical music playing]
-Sorry, what is this?

We have a bug problem.
There's a poisonous insect here.

I see, you're angry
because I didn't pick you...

No, we're k*lling it.

Any moment now,
we'll take over your channel...

-And take it down.
-You ingrates!

-Pathetic!
-[door opens]

Speaking of pathetic...

So, this is where the fugitive princes
have been hiding?

-What do you want, Delfina?
-[suspenseful music playing]

This Florencio guy must be important,
let's make him win.

All kinds of social media, contests,
bots and clickbait,

go through Delfina's computer.
So, grab it.

-Come on.
-[mutters]

Go on. Open up.

Weird.

"Queen of everything," try it.

PASSWORD

-[Rey] Nope.
-"I am Delf."

I am Delf.

-Nice one.
-[music fades]

-[tuts]
-[sighs]

How're you doing with Merlin?

Did you talk? Did he mention Mar?
Are they a thing?

No, but I figure they are.

Well, better to take a step back, right?

No. A step back? Never.

[Pipe] No.

I don't give up, Pips.

[chuckles softly]

I won't deny
I was beginning to forget her.

-[mellow music playing]
-But then I saw her...

-and I kissed her...
-Hmm.

There's something there still.

The kiss was special.

Well, let's move on.

-Um...
-Any ideas other than that?

-"I'm Delf, queen of everything."
-I'm Delf...

-No space?
-No space.

[Rey] Queen of everything.

-Yes!
-It worked?

One thing is a channel w*r.

Which is fine.
I love publicly humiliating you.

[Margarita groans] Well...

It's a totally different beast

when you pry into delicate matters.

You don't know who you're messing with.

Yes, Delf.

We know full well.

[Delfina] Then face the consequences.

[gasps, grunts]

You want w*r?

-You'll get w*r.
-[cellphone rings]

What do you want?

What?

I'll get it before the guards notice
I'm not in the shower.

-Move it.
-Yeah?

Rey, I was thinking about you.

-Can we talk?
-Yeah.

Can you come with me to the DNA test?

If you want. It's cool if not.

Sure, come on.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Thank you.

[overlapping chatter]

Please, I'm fine. I was lucky.

Can we be serious, here?
Delfina found our hideout.

I wouldn't worry, General.

Her mask came off, she's cancelled.

She must be desperate,
threatening us directly like that.

-Ruined, I'd say.
-I can smell the fear.

[inhales sharply]

[in English] I can smell the fear.

-[all chuckle]
-[in Spanish] Don't sing praises yet.

As the saying goes,

"A cornered rat is ferocious."

And Delf is worse than a rat.

-She's a monster.
-[monstrous roar echoing]

[reporter 1] A question, please, Delfina.

Is it true you were in jail?

[reporter 2] Any messages to your mom?

-Delfina, Delfina!
-[overlapping chatter]

I'm sick of those brats!
I want them out of my life.

I want Malala in the filthiest
asylum there is, okay?

-You called me for this? Really?
-[Delfina] Yes. Yes!

-[Severino] For this?
-Yes, I called you for this.

-Wait.
-What?

I have important things to think on.

-Yeah? Like what?
-Like what?

Daisy's DNA, remember?

What's happening is serious.

Can't you see my mom is insane,
itching to talk,

and the brats are using her to ruin me?

You know what? Screw you!

You don't get Maria Laura, poor woman.

She wants a bit of attention, of love,
and maybe a bit of dough...

You pretend you don't get her.

-No.
-Don't complain.

-Do you want me to get rid of them?
-Yes

-You know what? You do it.
-What?

[crows cawing]

KRIKORAGÁN

-[suspenseful music playing]
-[Rayan] Yes.

I infiltrated security.
I think we found your mom.

[Merlin] What are you saying, Rayo?

Sarik and his people found her.

We think they'll take her any day, now.

On your orders,
I offer to try and rescue her.

If you guarantee
my mother is in no danger at all,

then move in.

We'll do everything to rescue her safely.

Thanks, Rayo. Take care.

-Look after her.
-[music fades]

What did mom tell you?

Mom? I wasn't...

I was ordering ice cream.

But we ordered yesterday.

Yeah.

-Why not today too?
-Yes.

You want to come? Let’s go.

[Unica] Delfina! You have to see this!

I can't, I'm busy right now.

-Two minutes.
-I said no.

-I'm thinking...
-Look.

What is this?

I'm doing a collab with the universe's
universal number one guy,

Torino! [laughs]

Margarita and I, Pinky Friends.

-[song concludes]

[in Spanish] I have no idea
what you're trying to do.

But it seems like you don't...

you don't know who you're messing with.

[chuckles softly]
Don't get me wrong, Delf.

-I'm not challenging you.
-No?

I don't know what you did with Margarita,
but I don't care.

Maybe I don't know who I'm messing with,

but I want to learn from you.

And I think
you need someone you can trust.

I'm open to anything.

Let's be allies.

[Margarita] I'm Raul. [clears throat]

I've been in this field
for 25 years, ma'am.

-Mar!
-[Margarita gasps]

-[Rey] It's you!
-[whimsical music playing]

Why are you here? [gasps] I know!

You saw the chat I had with Pips
through your phone

and figured you'd make an entrance.

Thanks for the idea, but no.
Maybe next time.

He asked me to go with Daisy
because he couldn't.

Oh! Oh!

[chuckles] Is she in your pocket
or something?

There's no evading those guards.
They follow her everywhere.

-What do you need?
-To talk to her.

I want her to know the truth
before the DNA test.

-It's today. She asked me for company.
-[intriguing music playing]

You and Daisy are sort of...

-Yes. No, no.
-[Margarita] Yes. No.

-I mean, yeah.
-[Margarita] Yeah. Yes.

I asked her out before you got here.

-But...
-[Margarita] No "buts."

Look,

the date is still happening,
regardless of my return.

-Just because Merlin and I split up...
-[Rey] What?

What?

You broke up because of us?

"Us" what?

[scoffs] "Us." [chuckles]

It just started getting good,
let's not go back to Sasha's attic.

Delfina knows where we are.
She's dangerous. It's the only way.

-We have to move!
-No! We have to arm ourselves!

What? Arm ourselves?

We won't sit idly by
waiting for her to come get us!

The answer is we stay and leave.

-What?
-Where are you going, Federico?

-[upbeat music playing]
-[grunts]

[music fades]

When I was on that barrel,

I saw a secret corridor
that lead to this door.

We can use the secret entrance
until things calm down.

Let's install a VPN.
That way, they can't track us.

We'll handle that.
The rest of you, block the main entry.

-Maika, it's up to you.
-[Maika] Okay. Let's go.

-Where's Margarita?
-[intriguing music playing]

Sometimes, couples split up,

then make up, then split up again...

C'est la vie!

Anyway, it's imperative
that I speak with Daisy.

Wait, Mar. It's impossible to go in there.

Daisy can't leave either,
there's a swarm of reporters.

What do we do?

The only thing I can think of,

since I'm going with her to the DNA test,

is taking her to you.

-So, you can talk.
-Yeah.

Okay, great.

Yeah.

Mar.

Is it bad that I'm happy you broke up?

[gasps] Yes, it is!
No discussing my marital status!

Worry about Daisy, okay? Go!

The things we have to hear...

[music concludes]

-[Margarita] Cosa succede qui? [screams]
-[screams]

-Don't just pop out like that!
-[Margarita] What are you doing?

What's the wall for? Am I banned?

It's your brother's idea
to hide from Delfina.

Blocking the entry
so she thinks we left the house.

Great idea!

And...

How do I get in?

Does someone boost me up?
I'm good with windows.

You have to go around.

Knock thrice,
and they'll let you in, Margarita.

-[soft music playing]
-[scoffs]

[chuckles] You called me Margarita.

Calling me by my full name?

What next? Calling me "ma'am?"

-[Borja] Pause.
-[music concludes]

I don't know
why I feel like I'm interrupting,

so I'd better go.

You always called me "Mister."

Yeah, in an affectionate way.

That's why you say "you" now?

Do you like me less?

Even a little?

-Nothing?
-[mellow music playing]

Don't be like that.

Can't we get through
this awkward moment

in a friendly-romantic way?

Of not knowing where we are going,

liking each other,
giving each other space...

[music concludes]

[whimsical music playing]

Don't build a wall between us, Merlin.
Ti prego.

[chuckles] Yeah.

I'll try the platonic-romantic thing.

But I do need to build
a wall between us, Mar.

[music concludes]

[Otto] I think we're a good match,

but we could try
and see how we'd do in person.

Maybe have a coffee with me?

I'd love to.

But I can't.

What's wrong, Otto?

-[sighs]
-You're weird.

Did your virtual girlfriend block you?

She almost did.

I ask her out, she accepts,
but then says she can't go...

Careful, it could be a catfish.

-You think so?
-Hmm.

Oh, la, la.

What an entrance!

I'm like an action hero.

-Such logistics and strategics! I love it!
-[chuckles softly]

How was it? Did you talk to Daisy?

No. The tower was swarming with reporters.

Rey said he'll try to get us to meet up.

Any news from Andrés?

[sighs] Rayan is following Blue's clue
back in Krikoragán.

If it was that guy, he'll confirm it.

-They'll do the Reina raffle soon.
-Mm-hmm.

May Florencio win.

[Torino] One, two, three! Go all in!

Remember, in Del Paraíso

you have three timers
to create your style.

-[upbeat music playing]
-♪ You just arrived like that ♪

♪ Barging right in ♪

♪ I opened the door to paradise ♪

♪ I tasted the sweet tang of your pain ☺3

♪ You arrived, I saw you ♪

More energy, Alaska!
This is the world's most played song.

[Torino] Good heavens, you're doing well!

-Please, don't tell me this is live.
-[screams, chuckles]

[Torino]
Only until you charm me to death, baby.

Not only a good dancer,
but also drop-dead gorgeous!

Thanks. I don't know how to respond.
You too, Torino.

It's a shame Unica is dating!
Do you know who's single though?

-Io, Alaska. Tutta per te.
-[Torino] Thanks, girls.

You guys know
I am deeply committed to music.

And you're k*lling it! How're you liking
the success of your last,

record-breaking viral song?

[Torino] Thoroughly.

I can hardly believe it, but whatever.

Girls, I don't make "viral songs."
I make music.

If it pleases,
and brings me to you, even better.

LIVE

[crickets chirping]

-[grunts]
-[whimsical music playing]

-Come in, Mar.
-Come in, Mar.

Okay.

We stopped until Otto installed
that VPN to evade Delfina's trackers.

Why are we hiding? It's no use.

We should strike back!
Make more statements!

Bring Malala here
and fill her channel with viruses.

No one watches us.
With Torino at Reina, we're nothing.

[in English] Take it easy,
take it easy, eh?

[in Spanish] Torino could be
the best singer on Earth,

the most acclaimed,
the most awarded in history,

we still know how
to defend ourselves. Right?

-Yes.
-Yeah.

-Right?
-Yes, yeah.

-What are we?
-Flikiti.

-What are we?
-Flikiti!

-Flikiti!
-[all cheer]

Flikiti! Flikiti!

Let me see that now.

I'm a romantic with a rough exterior.

Shouldn't we do a raffle?

-Yes, a raffle!
-Uh...

We have over 900K subscriptions,

but only 20 actually watch us.
Shall we meet them?

He didn't number two, sir.

We used to have a garden,
now we're locked in this tower...

Look at the poor, poor doggy.

-[gasps] He snuck out! He'll run away!
-[suspenseful music playing]

Daisy, baby, we need to talk!

-I'm going for the DNA test.
-That's just it.

Daisy, honey,
I know this isn't the right way,

I didn't want this either,

-but I have no choice...
-Dai, sorry I'm late. Shall we?

Wait, Ada wants to say something.
What is it?

Good luck!

-The car's waiting.
-Come on, it'll work out.

-I love you.
-Let's go.

[music concludes]

[upbeat music playing]

I was never so jealous of anyone.

Well? Is that raffle on?

Yeah, yeah.

[Florencio]
Are we winning this or not, Anita?

I sign the contract,
I'm landing on track,

that's all I know, facts,
blow up my thermostat,

dreams cost more than whack,
destiny, bat counter-attack!

We have the winners. They are,

Emilia, Jimena, Lara, Pablo, Mateo,

-Cala, Abril...
-[both scream]

...Olivia, Roberta,

-Florencio...
-[all cheer]

-[gasps]
-[bright music playing]

-Anita...
-Yes.

-We'll see Torino! [screams]
-[screams]

[all cheer]

-We will!
-He's ever closer.

Yeah, yeah.

-Okay.
-[music fades]

-What?
-Daisy's in the lab.

[intriguing music playing]

[biochemist] The notaries for both parts
confirmed that the sample

belongs to Maximo Augustus
Cornwall de La Hoya.

I ask that you leave the lab.

Okay?

-Delf, it's time.
-Yes?

-Time?
-For the interview, with Polo. Come.

Put this on. How're you feeling?

Okay.

Let's make the most of it, okay?

Okay.

-[music concludes]
-[seagulls squawking]

So, you put it here...

-and you're done.
-Who taught you that?

My grandmother.

She taught me never to depend on another.

And your parents?

[mellow music playing]

My dad.

[sighs]

-Sorry.
-It's not your fault.

I'll get some tweezers.

Well done, well done!

You're like two lovebirds,
attached to the hip.

[scoffs]

Just kidding.

It's a joke, just like your joke earlier
about raising a wall between us.

It wasn't a joke.

[soft music playing]

I love you.

But your decisions and doubts hurt me.

So, I need to protect myself.

But, Merlin, I'm not a threat
you need to protect yourself from.

No, not you.

I need to be careful
not to suffer anymore.

And if I ever feel like

you're not in love with me anymore
because you like Rey...

Like this whole thing is not a pause,
but a full stop,

it'll break my heart.

-[cellphone notification chimes]
-[music fades]

He doesn't waste any time. [chuckles]

He said Daisy's going to the park.

-You don't have to explain.
-I do.

To clarify things. Together or not,

we can't be mean to,
or jealous of each other.

That stuff sticks to us like a virus,

it reproduces infinitely, involuntarily.

I truly believe there's another way
of being connected.

We just have to find the remedy.

[mellow music playing]

You're right.

Come on.

Don't be late.

[chuckles softly]

[Margarita] To stop repeating the things
that sicken our heart,

-we need strong defenses.
-[music fades]

REINA
LIVE

Delfina, despite her story,
her trajectory and fame,

hides away her entire personal life.

Many would say that you are a mystery.
Myself included.

I just always prioritized my work,

my artists...

-A little bit of it is shame though.
-[Polo] Wow.

What a tough word to describe your story.

I was raised in an obscure environment.

-That's the truth.
-[Polo] Mm-hmm.

I know you wanted my guards gone,
but did you have to go so far?

I'll get us some food. Hang on.

[cellphone notification chimes]

I want to congratulate the princess

for taking the DNA test today
and proving her true identity.

You're so brave, Dai!

I love you! [in English] I miss you!

[in Spanish]
Mar, I know you don't want to hear it,

because you only text through stories,
but you never talk to me.

-Even if...
-[breathes heavily]

[Daisy] Mar?

Why are you here?

Little buddy.

It's great to tell someone, right?
It's a load off.

-You're talking about your mom.
-Yeah.

I don't judge her, you know?

I think she was raised like this too

and is just repeating the pattern.

My mom doesn't know how to love.

She doesn't do it on purpose,
but she doesn't know what love is.

So, she gave to me her hate,
like a virus, and so I worked

really hard to get out of this place.

I don't want to become her.

Even loving her so deeply,

with all my heart, I don't want to be her.

Did I do bad things? Yes.

Did I do mean things? Yes,

but not the awful things
they're making her say,

which she says out of hurt.

Because I don't want to be like her.

I missed you so much!

Me too. Why didn't you respond?

Why do you only read?
You never called. Why are you here?

There's only one answer,
and that's why I'm here.

What do you mean?

The DNA test.

[mellow music playing]

I need to tell you something.

I don't want you to learn it
from a result.

I don't get it.

I'm taking a risk.

-Is there any truth in Finderella's story?
-[music fades]

It's your story, right?

Well, 18 years ago,
I was going to marry Fede.

He was my love.

[dramatic music playing]

[Delfina] Then Flor appeared,

my sister.

I won't say much,
out of respect for Daisy,

-but they...
-Certainly.

...fell in love.

The day we were getting married,
he left me.

He left me on the altar.

I think my mom took the chance

that humiliation brought her,
to fill me with hatred.

[music fades]

I take this chance to apologize

to the Fritzenwalden brothers,
because they're not...

I was someone else at the time.

I wasn't who I wanted to be with them.

I mistreated them. [sobs]

But in truth, I didn't know what to do.

I was so angry, so sad

about everything that happened to me,
so I didn't know...

What I mean is, aside from apologizing,

today I'm no longer that girl,

I am a different woman now.

[Margarita]
Even if we try to be different,

some viruses we carry latch on tight
and without meaning to,

we end up repeating the same cycle.

When you open the envelope,
the results you'll see...

will shock you greatly.

Why is that?

It may be difficult.

Painful.

You don't deserve this... [sobs]

You...

are not the daughter
of Maximo and Florencia.

[breathes heavily]

You're not one of the triplets.

[sobs] Sorry, is this a joke?

It is not.

-Sorry, I don't understand.
-[Margarita shushes softly]

It's the truth.

It's so haunting and amazing
that it took me a lot to process it.

It almost cost me my life.

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

The true Margarita...

daughter of Maximo and Florencia...

is me.
