A WORK BY CRIS MORENA

MARGARITA: MAKE YOUR STORY COUNT

[Margarita] Margarita! [chuckles]

[song concludes]

This is ill*gal,
there wasn't even a warning about this.

-The judge gave the order.
-Which judge?

-Discuss it with your lawyer.
-What?

-Excuse me.
-[Severino] Come in.

-[suspenseful music playing]
-[cries]

I don't talk to buds,
I cut them off at the root.

-No, I'm not the bud, stupid girl.
-Bye, Malala.

[Malala] No, wait, wait.

I wanna tell you
something very important. [laughs]

The bud? [laughs] Alive?
Hey, it's your end.

The queen of everything.

The queen of the prison, right? [laughs]

Are you finished?

I swear that I could keep
laughing all day, but I can't,

I have to go get a facial treatment,

because I have to go to the boys' show,
the one called Fliquiti.

The kids are so unbelievably sweet.

They're gonna have a new sketch,
and they're calling it... [laughs]

It totally represents me.

It's called,
"He who laughs last laughs longest."

[laughs]

HE WHO LAUGHS LAST

-[sighs]
-[Malala chuckles]

Achtung, crew. Let's follow the plan.

We'll attack all three fronts
at the same time.

Okay, but what do we do?

Because we're neither hackers
nor soldiers...

Mar, did something happen?

I spoke with Delfina.

And she bared all her teeth.

So I was left with this Fliquiti,
that's terrified and frozen.

Where in the plan did it say
she'd speak to Delf?

Before starting any w*r,
you propose peace agreements.

Mademoiselle.

But since peace and Delfina
are opposites...

Tell us the plan, Fach.

[in English] By all means, sister.

[in Spanish] We must anticipate
any move on their part.

I want you to go and burn down
that disgusting pigsty

from which those brats broadcast
their show.

[Federico] The creative team's mission

will be to ruin Reina and make her
lose credibility in the media.

And while you distract her
with the creative w*r,

Borja, Maika
and I are gonna take care

of the economic front.

And empty her accounts.

If they choose the legal path, I want
a list of which judges are favorable,

and which ones are hostile,
so we can bribe them.

[Federico] The legal front.

You're gonna have to gather evidence
against her to file charges.

Why don't we add Rey, who's in there?

-He might be useful.
-[Margarita] Et moi.

Besides being living proof,
I'm also an expert infiltrator.

So you follow
your impulses and ruin our plans?

-Maika.
-[Pipe] I can't work without Mar.

We're like a jug and a cork,
like underwear and...

[all] Stop!

We could also try to shut them up

with a lawsuit for harassment,
defamation, slander, plagiarism...

Look who finally woke up.
Here's to you, Yamila.

Even if the general doesn't like it,
I'm part of the...

team.

Hey, Mar, everything okay?

Yes.

-Yes, it's just...
-Yeah?

I'm gonna check
a few things now over there,

-and I'll be right back.
-Mar.

What's wrong?

Just tell us.

Your dad passed away.

[soft music playing]

-[Ada] Pull over!
-[wheels screeching]

Stop the car! Stop the darn car!

[grunts]

Oh, my God! You almost k*lled me.

-One last thing
-Yes?

If I'm gonna be an accomplice
to more serious crimes,

we should review my salary.

Delfina,
if you wanna mess with me, go ahead.

Ruin my career, leave me destitute,
but don't mess with my family.

Did you say, "Ruin my career"?

I'm so sorry,
but I'm gonna be laughing until tomorrow.

Your career?

You released just one song,

and you've got two dumb teenagers
with raging hormones shouting your name,

and you think that's a career?
Don't make me laugh.

You call yourself Rey, but everyone
knows your name is Juan, but...

Who knows your last name?

-[chuckles] I have no idea
-Nobody knows it.

I gave you everything on a silver platter.
So you could shine, so you could grow,

because you have what it takes.
And what did you do?

You betrayed me.

So now I have no other choice
but to destroy you,

your family, your fandom, your friends.

I'll make your life hell,
you can't even imagine...

Make it two of us, in that case.

'Cause you're very close to the end.

And I'm gonna do the impossible
to make sure it happens.

-Marquess! Are you alright? What a scare!
-Good Lord...

Ada, what...?

Marquess, how are you?
Excuse what just happened here.

Hello.

Could you tell me what you're doing here?

We have so much to talk about.

Haven't heard about what happened?

-No.
-No.

-Pio Pietro passed away.
-[gasps]

You wanna play the hero,

but you're nothing more
than the son of a thief.

And marginality runs through your veins.

And I'm gonna tell you something,
so listen to me very carefully.

Whatever you do, you will never be able
to escape your true nature.

This is w*r.

And you're gonna have to choose

If you wanna act all heroic
and rebellious,

or if you're actually intelligent,
and stay loyal to me.

I can easily tell right away
when I see someone who is ambitious,

and I know you are.
You like fame, money, power...

and I can give you
everything you want and more.

And in return, what do I ask of you?
That you infiltrate.

No, what?
Don't you wanna do it for Margarita?

I can't believe it.

Don't you realize
that Margarita doesn't love you?

Margarita only wants to be with Merlin.

Whenever Merlin is busy, she comes to you.

And whenever Merlin is free,
she goes and runs towards him.

Are you gonna lose
all your opportunities, because of her?

Life is like an elevator.

Just press "penthouse",
and you go to the top with me.

But if you press "underground",
I promise you I'll destroy you.

Penthouse or underground?

Otto's mom is bringing Ali.

I don't know how I'm gonna tell him.

First I took him from our house.
Separated him from my mom.

And now this?

I've already grieved him.

I knew my dad wasn't coming out
of that coma.

But not Ali.

[sniffles] He's still too little.

Our head may be able to understand.

But the heart...

never, never.
The heart's never ready for this pain.

It's strange to be away
without saying goodbye.

You can do it from here.

It's something just for you.

In Krikoragán,
rituals are performed when someone dies.

Yes. Ada told me about some of them.

But tell me then.
I don't wanna be a half krikoraganian.

You mean to say "krikon." [chuckles]

But at least I made you smile, right?

I'm gonna need you so much.

I'm right here.

[soft music playing]

[thud]

What happened to Mom?

[somber music playing]

Mom is okay.
But I have to tell you something.

PIO PIETRO HAS PASSED AWAY

[Yamila gasps]

[both gasp]

[gasps]

What are you all doing here?

We went to do some shopping with Ada,
but we ran into the Marquess

who came to organize
the claim to the throne.

Daisy needs to be prepared.

When the king dies,
the succession must take place.

So how do we do that?

[Daisy speaks in Krikon]

[in Spanish] Your krikon's very good.

Look, I was prepared
for it my whole life.

And with the death of your brother,

the time has come to put an end
to so many years of bloody occupation.

Remember you gave your word publicly.

[Erasmus] Don't worry about it,
I'm a man of my word.

Tomorrow the Pietro household
will recognize

the Cornwall De la Hoya
lineage for the succession.

Very well. May it be in peace.

[suspenseful music playing]

[music concludes]

Apparently, after Pio Pietro's funeral

they'll be announcing Daisy
as the next heir to the throne.

DAISY, THE NEW HEIRESS

Are we going to the coronation?

I don't know, Alaska.

Oh, wow, how entertaining, huh?

-Give me that, I'm bored!
-April!

[Otto] Wanna get to the surprise?

Well, yes.

We have a very special guest.

A clue for you all.
She's controversial, but iconic.

Lately, she has caused
a stir with her statements,

and today she'll be giving us
another exclusive interview.

[all vocalizing]

The one and only, more than a mother:

Malala Torres Oviedo,
widow of Santillan.

From Margarita, I could expect it.

Now from your mother?

Does she love you so little?

[indistinct chatter over laptop]

No, I mean...

It's like she has very little love
in her heart, doesn't she?

I really like people who solve problems
without talking so much, Yami.

If you back me up on that,
could you talk less, please?

-Hey.
-[gasps]

You scared me! Who raised you
to go through life like a ghost?

I'm sorry.
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

Anyway, Anita told me you were here.

I've been here all day,
trying to give my poems to Torino.

-Let's go?
-Wait, wait.

We're not gonna stop being brothers
for five minutes.

How did you come
to the conclusion that we're siblings?

There's actually three of us.

-Three?
-Yeah.

Somebody who knew
where each of us had grown up

told me there was a chance you might be
in Chile with a friend of my dad's.

And since your name
is almost the same as Mom's... [chuckles]

[chuckles]

Well, there's something that tells me
it could be you.

[somber music playing]

May the gods receive you,
and may your memory be our comfort.

Now we have to say
all the nice things about him?

Yes.

-Do you wanna start?
-Mm-hmm.

I loved it when you read to me...

and when you took me horseback riding.

-[birds squawking]
-[music continues]

[Margarita] You must have had
something you liked about him too.

Something you admired.

A fond memory of him?

I always liked seeing...

how much he loved my mom.

As a kid,
I wanted a love just like theirs.

And I loved it when he took us
to museums.

And to see them dance together
on Krikoragán Day.

He liked to dance. Did you know that?

If he loved art so much,
then you can say goodbye to him with art.

He actually liked artists,
as long as they weren't his children.

He didn't want me to be an artist.

[Margarita] He can no longer forbid it.

Will you come with me?

[somber music playing]

[Ali] Farewell, Dad.

[music concludes]

[rock music playing]

[Delfina] This is w*r.
And you're gonna have to choose.

You gotta come back.
We need a soldier in there, please.

[Delfina] Don't you realize
that she doesn't love you?

I missed you so much, Mar.

Are you gonna lose
all your opportunities, because of her?

[Severino] Keep playing superhero
for those kids, your time is running out.

You know what?
Forget about your family.

-Because you're dead to me.
-I promise you that I'm gonna fix this.

[Delfina] You like fame, money, and power.
And I can give you everything you want.

Realize that we can have
a much better life than this one!

I can tell right away
when I see someone who's ambitious.

Sorry, why?

For not being there.
For not caring for you.

And in return, what do I ask of you?
That you infiltrate.

[screams]

[emotional music playing]

Torino, Torino.

I'm poetry, I do Florencio.
No, I flipped it.

Calm down, okay? Aspetta un secondo.

Yes, I'll wait for you. [exhales sharply]

I'll wait for you
without any strings attached.

I'll wait at your house,
with coffee in the kitchen.

I'll wait for you a little
or for the eternity.

I swear I'm still hoping that one day
you'll be looking for me too.

Relax. Wait for me, it's your turn next.

[Otto] Okay.

Before we continue, we wanna give
our friend Merlin a chance.

As you all know,
Merlin lost his father today.

And he wants to say goodbye.

I didn't have
a good relationship with him.

But we shared a life together.

And I'd like to dedicate
this song to him.

Since I cannot return
to my country because of my uncle.

[Merlin sniffles]

[music concludes]

[doorbell dings]

[delivery man]
Hello. They've sent you this box.

Thank you very much. [chuckles]

What are you waiting for?
A tip, you moron?

Get lost, go away.

-[whimsical music playing]
-[laughs]

What is this? Oh, I'm dying. [laughs]

I can't believe it!

Oh, my God, look at this.

I can't believe it. [laughs]

Look at this. Who sent me all this stuff?

[mysterious music playing]

"With love for my Mommy. XOXO."

[phone ringing]

Mommy, I was waiting for your call.

What joy you've just given me, honey.

This is all absolutely stunning.
Especially the green ones.

If you want more, just ask me.

If you're sending me
all this stuff so I don't go to Fliquiti,

you're off track because it's too late,
I'm warning you.

What you did to me can't be fixed.

I don't know if I should take this one,
or a golden one that was around here.

Or this one, well, I don't know.

Baby, watch the stream today.
Then, you'll see which one I picked.

Some of these chokers are beautiful.
Tune in, hon. Bye, bye.

Judge Galindez,
you may proceed with the search now.

Someone's in big trouble.

I really need you, Mar.

I really need your words.

Your advice.

I miss you.

I'm right here.

And I will always be here.

[Rey] Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

Rey, what's wrong?

Delfina ordered the eviction
from my mother's house.

My siblings are on the street
because of everything I did.

And now she's also threatening
to send them to an orphanage.

It's okay, Rey.

What Delfina did was terrible.

But she still won't be able
to take custody away from your mother.

-That's not easy to do.
-[Rey] I can't go back to Reina.

Do you mind if I stay here?

[soft music playing]

Of course not.

You don't even need to ask.

Thank you.

[music concludes]

This choker's absolutely perfect.
Divine, and I'm divine too.

And these bills...

These little brats. I can't believe it.

I mean, what a nice touch that is,
sending a taxi to pick me up.

POLICE

Hello.

[officer] María Laura Torres Oviedo,
widow of Santillan?

[laughs] Do I really need
to introduce myself? Of course it's me.

I'm the leading figure of the moment.
What do you want?

[officer] Judge Galindez
has ordered the search of your home.

-I ask that you please cooperate with us.
-What are you talking about?

I forbid you from entering my property.

Why don't you go play marbles
instead of bothering a poor woman?

What are you doing?

-Ma'am, you're under arrest for theft.
-Why? All that stuff?

But my stupid daughter gifted me
all that stuff.

Your daughter filed the complaint, ma'am.

Let me go, you puppet accomplices

of that ill-born criminal
of a daughter of mine.

[police siren wails]

Torino. It's my turn.
It's my turn. Just a minute.

-No.
-Thirty seconds, please.

Be a gentleman. Come on in.

It was my turn.

-Sorry?
-Yeah, sorry.

That's what you should be saying to him.
You're extremely disrespectful.

He's been waiting for hours
and you haven't even looked at him.

But of course, for the pretty ladies,
there's always time, right?

-And how is this your problem?
-It's my problem. He's my brother.

And he just wants to give you his poems,
which are very good.

I don't think it'd cost you
anything to receive them.

Questo é incredibile.
Nessuno has patience nowadays.

-What's your name?
-Hello.

I'm Florencio. I love what you do.

I'm a fan.
I spent all my money to get here.

-Let me see.
-These are my notebooks with poems.

Sorry, I'm a little nervous.
I'm in love with everything you do.

I'd love for you to read them.
I think we can make a song together.

-I don't know, but...
-Yes, totally.

My hair, please.

I'll go read them now,
and I'll tell you later. See you.

Yes, but...
Actually, the notebook is mine.

Honestly, Florencio,

I seriously don't understand how
you can admire such an arrogant person.

Let's go.

But did you even see the hair on him?

[Federico] Let's go.

Okay, thank you.

Don't mention it.

We'll get going now
so you can get settled in,

and let us know if anything comes up.

Okay.

Here.

Thanks.

[suspenseful music playing]

I'm all set up here.

[music concludes]

Did you do what you had to do,
or do I also have to explain

how to do things to you?

The Marquess hasn't left yet.
As soon as she leaves,

-I'll k*ll her.
-[Daisy] Who are you gonna k*ll?

[whimsical music playing]

You, I'm gonna k*ll you.
Look, you've become like a cringe uncle.

You need to get a grip on your age.
You're all like, "I'm killin' it,"

-"I'm crushin it..."
-But I can't...

You gotta tone it down a notch.

What happened, my love?
What did you want?

Uh...

With everything going on with Erasmus,
I got kind of jumbled up.

I'm kind of anxious, like scared.

Come here, so we can chat. Bye, Severino.

-[Severino] Really?
-Yes, goodbye.

Fine, fine. Something sweet
to lift those spirits of yours.

Thanks, Mar. Seriously.

I have a feeling you're stuck
in like a thank-you loop.

It's the least that I can do.

-You were just trying to help me.
-No, Mar, none of this is your fault.

And I don't regret helping you at all.
I would do it a thousand times over.

Mar, what's up with you and Merlin?
You're back together?

No. We're not back together.

Because I saw you guys...

-Well, better.
-Why "better"?

I'm glad that you're okay,
I didn't mean your break up.

Yeah, I thought that's what you meant.

-[clears throat]
-Whoa!

-That looks so amazing.
-[Margarita] Well, I made it for you guys.

For all of us. I mean, the three of us.

[upbeat music playing]

[comical horn sound]

The DNA samples are in.
The result will be available in 24 hours.

Thank you.

-Shall we?
-Yes.

-Can I ask you a question?
-Yeah, sure.

What exactly is
that arrogant clown's great talent?

What? Is it fame? Is it money? What?

You're talking about one
of the best artists of our generation.

-Wow.
-I mean, get a grip.

-Me get a grip?
-Yes.

Me get a grip? After how he treated you?
Yeah, sure.

No, obviously fanaticism blinds you, man.

Once Erasmus recognizes me as heir,
we need to start the transition, right?

Okay, so what do I do?

Do I have to go live in Krikoragán?

Do I have to leave my life behind?
What if people don't like me there?

What if I can't do it alone?

Don't be afraid. You've been preparing
for this moment your entire life.

You're gonna become a princess.
Well, a queen, rather.

I'm gonna be by your side.
And I'm gonna be the Queen Mother.

We're gonna leave through that balcony
of our very own palace.

We're gonna greet the people.
And people are gonna love us.

They're gonna shout our names.

Your life is gonna change.
And mine is gonna change.

And everything... will be mine.

[Daisy] Auntie.
Auntie, Erasmus is about to speak.

-Look.
-What?

The King's funeral will begin tonight
and it will last three days,

so his people can say goodbye.

From the time of his death,
the succession begins.

ERASMUS PIETRO ANNOUNCES SUCCESSION

[Erasmus]
And in the absence of the two princes,

it is the will of this court
to cede the throne

to the lineage of the Cornwall De la Hoya
after 16 years of the reign of Pietro.

-What's wrong? Did something happen?
-Take a look.

I want to introduce to the people
of Krikoragán

their brand new sovereign.
The true heir to the throne.

This person is the firstborn son
of His Majesty Maximus.

I present to you
Andrés Florencio Cornwall De la Hoya.

[Margarita]
Among so many plans and strategies,

we didn't see
the most terrible villain coming.

He who laughs last,
is not always the best.

[mysterious music playing]

I, Andrés Florencio
Cornwall De la Hoya...

Is he our brother?

-Is he my brother?
-[Andrés] ...Maximus's firstborn...

Where did he come from?

[Andrés] ...accept the honor...

Another palace coup.

...to be the sovereign of Krikoragán...

...and reclaim
the royal lineage of my family.

The coronation will take place
at the end of the funeral.
