01x23 - The Mirror's Secret

[bunniefuu]

PREVIOUSLY

We got the choreo guidelines
for the Move You final.

Each dance needs to represent
a story from a film.

If the Mirrors get to the final,
they'll be on TV.

Ayla mustn't go on TV.
What if someone recognizes her?

Whose side exactly are you on?

Because your obligation was to stop them,
not encourage them!

The love calculator.

A foolproof way to find out if Ayla
and you are compatible.

No! Ninety-three percent?

Jealousy is the key to the treasure trove.

She tries to hinder our relationship.
She wants me to adopt her instead of you.

Inés! Come here and sit with me.
I saved you a seat.

-I didn't come to watch the movie.
-[Ayla] Inés…

Either you apologize
or you're out.

I'm not gonna apologize for anything.

You're no longer a member of Step by Step.

We should report them to the organizers
as the thieves and liars they are!

It's up to Kako,
and he wants to keep it a secret.

What's the big secret?

-Nothing. Right?
-Mm-mm.

[Saray] Have you told Kaboom yet
that it wasn't your fault?

How? He completely blocked me!

I had no idea that my brother
stole the song.

Could you message him for me
so he knows?

-Next time I see him, I'll tell him.
-You see Kaboom in person?

[Kako] Uh…

Hm… Well, I mean, I…

[♪ light, whimsical music playing]

[sighs] Hmm…

Um…

What's the matter?

-[♪ music stops]
-You do know Kaboom for real, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Totally, we're colleagues.

[hesitating] Yeah, otherwise,
he wouldn't give his songs to the Mirrors.

Have you talked in person?

We're… actually, uh,
in the same group chat with musicians,

and other producers,
writers, and singers.

And well, uh. [chuckles softly]
Amateurs, I guess, like me.

[chuckles] A kind of geek-forum thing?

[chuckles] Pretty much. Yeah.

You'd really talk to Kaboom for me?

After what happened,
I would tell me it's what I deserve.

Well, I could… reach out first…

-then say it's what you get. [laughs]
-[laughs]

[Esmeralda] The numbers Inés gave us
are completely useless!

To make things worse,
those brats qualified for the final.

Don't worry, they won't get any further.

The problem, though, is that the final
will air on live TV, you idiot!

[Eric] I could trick the TV producers
just like with the tree.

Remember? Hmm? That was
a flawless mission. Wasn't it?

It won't be so easy in the final.

But we mustn't let Ayla go on the air,
because, who knows,

someone could recognize
that annoying little brat!

Very inconvenient, yes.

-[♪ whimsical instrumental music playing]
-Inconvenient? Inconvenient?

-[Eric] Hmm.
-I'll tell you what's inconvenient.

That brain of yours
with nothing inside of it.

We're about to get our hands
on the information we need

to find my brother's treasure.

If someone recognizes her,
I'll sure to lose it all!

Surely, you already have a few good ideas?

-I do.
-Hmm?

One of the girls twisted her foot

and wasn't able to compete
in the semi-final.

Tragic, so we have to ensure
that Ayla won't be able to dance either.

Are you saying that…?

But how… but how are we gonna make sure
that that poor girl doesn't…

Poor is what I'm gonna be
if that girl's story comes to light.

And so, if you want to keep your job,
you know what you have to do.

-But I just--
-But nothing!

You're salivating just watching
your favorite little bougie girl dance.

-Sorry, ex-bougie girl.
-[scoffs]

It's because of the expression
on the little prince's face. Look.

[cheering over phone]

[chuckles] From a little prince to frog
in one second. He's even turning green!

[♪ whimsical instrumental music playing]

[Julia] As president of their fan club,

I'll be interviewing some members
of the group

so you can get to know them better.
And of course,

-[♪ upbeat pop music plays]

[audience] Ooh!

Will you please help me
welcome our first guest? Sofia!

[audience cheering]

-[♪ music concludes]
-[♪ whimsical instrumental music resumes]

[chuckles nervously] Thanks for having me.

Thank you for coming.

We are so happy you've recovered
and are finally returning to rehearsals.

I'm back and ready to win.
[snaps fingers]

And, speaking of winning,

how… how did you feel
about this exciting semi?

[sighs] It was great.
Ayla's dance was crazy.

Yes, but what when you realized the Steps
stole your Kaboom track? What happened?

You'll have to ask them about it.

-[both chuckle]
-[♪ music concludes]

[♪ exciting, mischievous
instrumental music playing]

Here.

[grunts]

[grunts]

-Hm.
-[♪ music concludes]

-Hey, Yago.
-Hey, superstar.

You're a celebrity now, huh?

All anybody's talking about
is the dance-off.

Yeah. The video already has 5,000 likes.

-[chuckles] Oh!
-[chuckles] But hey, have you seen Inés?

Mm… No, why?

-That's really weird.
-Weird?

Something happen?

-[♪ somber piano music playing]
-[young Ayla] Daddy?

Daddy?

Wanna play?

[♪ somber piano music continues]

Hey!

-Earth to Ayla?
-[♪ music concludes]

-Huh? I'm sorry?
-What's with Inés?

I have no idea.

I've wanted to talk with her for days,
but she won't.

Inés won't talk? Well, that is weird.

[both chuckle]

[♪ suspenseful instrumental music playing]

[grunts]

[rope creaking]

[shrieks, grunts]

[♪ music concludes]

Paola is gonna show us all

how to customize t-shirts
here in a minute.

-[♪ upbeat pop music plays]
-But first, a couple of questions

from the Mirror fans!

Are you worried about your competitors
at the Move You final?

Some are powerful,
and we know it won't be easy.

Um, do you think the Steps
will pull another fast one?

Actually, tell me,
what did happen with Kaboom track?

That doesn't matter.
We're confident in our abilities.

After the semis,
the crew's closer than ever.

And that's our greatest strength.
We're a team, you know?

[audience cheering]

I think Girl Power is probably
gonna choose robot movies.

-Or clones, 'cause that's what they are.
-Totally.

-Oh, bullseye!
-[gasps] No!

It is! It went right in the center!

-No, I mean, it's Kaboom!
-[Saray gasps]

He unblocked me just now!

-Now what?
-Send him text?

-But saying…
-"Hello."

[♪ whimsical instrumental music playing]

-What did he say?
-Well, nothing.

He must've talked to Kako.

You should apologize for what happened.
On behalf of all of us.

[♪ music concludes]

-[sighs]
-[phone chimes]

-[♪ bright instrumental music starts]
-Hi, Kaboom. Hey, mm,

thank you so much for unblocking me.

I suppose Kako already told you
everything that happened

but I also wanted to say sorry.

We wanted to say sorry!

I mean, us. We didn't know about it.
We're really sorry for everything.

[cell phone chimes]

[all gasp]

Wow, amazing! I was just so terrified.

When I thought you believed
I could do something like that.

-It wrecked me.
-Me too. Me too.

Period. Swiping a song
is really terrible. Comma.

It's nearly as terrible as, let's say…
as bachata, I would say. Send.

[cell phone chimes]

[cell phone chimes]

[Noe] Well, I have some good
and some bad news.

The good news is that I'm not a thief.
The bad news is…

I love bachata! [chuckling]

Typing…

[phone chimes]

-[all chuckle]
-[♪ music concludes]

The secret to making the patch look
perfect is to set it on a heater

or in direct sunlight for one minute.

Once the patch is soft,
we can stick it on the garment.

And speaking of secrets,

can you spill a juicy secret
about the Mirrors'?

-[♪ laid-back jazzy music playing]
-The Mirrors have no secrets.

Then, ideally, you'll put a heavy thing
on top, like an 'ol book or something.

To make it permanent, we hold.
And… Ta-da!

The official t-shirt for the final.

Very cool, but isn't there anything more
you could spill for us?

Some insider secrets?

Well, no. I can't spill any tea
'cause there isn't any.

Why don't you try it on?

-Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?
-[♪ music concludes]

Inés, where are you?

I can't find you
and you don't answer my texts.

-If there's any…
-[Inés] Hi.

[cell phone clicks off]

[Ayla] Hey! Didn't you see my messages?

[faucet running]

-Mm, no.
-[♪ playful music plays]

Uh, no, no, no.

You're not going until you tell me
what's up with you.

Nothing's up with me.

You're never in our room
when I'm there.

You don't answer my messages.
You ignored me at the movie as well.

That's classic ghosting.

You'll tell me what's happening or,

you gotta swallow
this slobber-covered salami.

But I love salami of all kinds, you know.

So, that's not a threat.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Not overripe bananas, don't, please.
You know that's my weakness! Come one!

Tell me what's wrong.

-Tell me what's wrong with you.
-[whimpers] I thought I could trust you!

[♪ music stops]

What?

You know how important
Esmeralda is to me.

-So?
-The betrayal was awful.

-No BFF does that to you.
-I have no idea what you're talking about.

Don't pretend and don't act like
you care about me now.

I know you asked Esmeralda to adopt you
instead of adopting me.

What are you talking about?
I've barely even said a word to her.

I certainly don't want her to adopting me.

-You don't?
-[Ayla] No.

[♪ soft instrumental music playing]

That's why you were mad? Seriously?

You think I'd do that to you?

Ah, well, I was told all that
confidentially,

-so--
-Whatever! I'm your best friend.

Or so I thought.
And best friends trust each other.

Ayla, I'm sorry.

-[Ayla sighs]
-You're right.

I should have asked you first.

But I don't get it.
Why would she say all that?

-[♪ music concludes]
-[sighs] Only one way to find out.

[♪ exciting instrumental music plays]

-[♪ music concludes]
-[traffic humming]

This Mirror fan wants to know
if you already have the new dance ready,

and how you come up with your ideas
for your cool choreos. [chuckles]

By working hard. And I can't say too much,

but the new choreo is based on a story
from a movies. All I can say.

-And will you use another Kaboom song?
-That's up to Kako.

Why Kako?

-Well, because, uh--
-[♪ intriguing instrumental music playing]

They're good friends.

Let's stop here. I'm done.

But why? It was going so well.

Because Kako prefers
that nobody knows he knows Kaboom.

-Why not?
-I don't know. He just does.

Just delete that part, okay? Shall we?

[♪ music concludes]

Mm.

[groans, gulps]

[♪ mischievous instrumental music playing]

[grunts, groans]

Did I overdo it?
Nobody's gonna fall for this.

[groans]

[Nieves in the distance] Guys, please!

-[shrieks, groans]
-[♪ music concludes]

[traffic humming in the distance]

[♪ retro video game music playing
over TV]

I don't understand why we can't go
with The Avengers.

Because Tribal has been talking
about doing superheroes.

And we can't copy them.

Uh, why don't they change, then?
We came up with it.

Oh, just read already.
Some of these movies could work.

We're not leaving here
until we have a theme.

It has to… have meaning to us.
Something fitting.

One about a group of losers.

[Nacho] There's not much to us.
Our life is just rehearsing

studying, and high school.

Repeat that.

Our life is just rehearsing,
studying, and…

High school! That's it.

-High-school movies. That's perfect!
-[Saray] It's true.

They always have attractive,
popular people,

and they usually end up dancing
in most of them just like us!

All right,
what are some high-school movies?

-High School Musical.
-[Noe] Grease.

-10 Things I Hate About You.
-The Breakfast Club.

It's my mom's favorite movie.

Ah, there's one that fits you so exactly.
"High School Losers."

Let's just pick out a song.

[♪ upbeat K-pop music playing,
Velvet Williams "Red Light"]

-[♪ music concludes]
-[traffic humming]

[panting] Hi, Mirror fans!

-Today, our guest is Valen.
-[♪ upbeat pop music playing]

What is it like training the Mirrors?

Well, sometimes, I have
to force them to train

because they can be a little lazy,
to be honest. [chuckles]

Careful what you say. We wouldn't want
to anger the Mirror fans.

[audience booing]

I'm going to expose the Mirrors'
best-kept secret.

-For real?
-[audience] Ooh!

Training that's customized
and personalized.

-That's the secret?
-Of course.

Whether you're an endomorph,
a mesomorph, or an ectomorph…

-[♪ music stops]
-[pants, groans] I need to stop.

-I have cramp.
-You're clearly not an endomorph.

-[chuckles]
-[continues panting]

[♪ mischievous instrumental music playing]

[Esmeralda] Well, well, well. All right.
So, what's so important

that I had to miss
my pedicure appointment?

-Well, you see, I wanted--
-Oh, you're fine. Um…

-Uh. [chuckles softly]
-[♪ music concludes]

Oh, that is, I mean, you look just fine.
And that outfit, it matches, um,

your teeth.

I called you
because of a little confusion.

And, you know, these things are better
discussed in person.

You know? In a civil tone--

Why did you say I wanted you
to adopt me?

-And who told you that, dear?
-[Inés] I remember it perfectly.

I was taking out the trash

because it was my turn that day,
and it had a leaky bag.

I didn't wanna get my shoes dirty,
but they ended up in the washer anyway.

-Remember?
-[chuckles]

Are you sure that's what I told you?

Because as I remember,
a certain friend of yours

had just told you I didn't want
to adopt you,

that she was totally sure of it.

Although, I never knew
how she could've known.

And I also remember how upset you were
because nobody appreciated your work.

-Am I right?
-Yeah.

-Yeah. But--
-Yeah, but…

I got you an office
with your name on it. Didn't I?

Yeah. But I think you said

-that you thought--
-[laughs] "I think." "You think."

"She thinks." "We think…" Who knows.

Could it also be that you were so upset,
so agitated, that you might not have

really understood what I meant?

Well…

-I guess so.
-[scoffs]

It seemed like you misunderstood me.

But don't worry, my dear.
Everyone misunderstands some things.

This was no misunderstanding.
You told Inés I asked you to adopt me.

[sighs] I made a mistake.
I should've known.

I argued with him, but he pushed,
he insisted so strongly.

I eventually caved.

-Who are you talking about?
-[Esmeralda] Who else could it be? Eric!

He told me I should adopt her
instead of you.

I don't believe
that Eric said this to you.

You're just blaming him
because he's not here to defend himself.

[laughs] And why would I do
something like that?

[Ayla] It doesn't make sense
for it to be Eric's idea.

He'd gain nothing
from making up such a lie.

And me? [scoffs] And I gain what?

[scoffs] My dear,
I don't have the slightest intention

of adopting anyone. Except you, naturally.

So, it's true,
you're still gonna adopt me?

Oh, of course, silly girl.

-It's the only thing I've wanted to do.
-Oh, how amazing!

I got my BFF and my future mom
back at the same time! Yay! [laughs]

Come on, it wasn't that bad.

-[sighs] No. It's not that.
-So?

-What's wrong?
-The Mirrors have a secret,

and I wanna know what it is!

-A secret?
-[Julia] Yeah.

I know it has to do with Kaboom.
But they won't say a thing!

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

-Do you know about it too?
-[smacks lips] Ah, well…

No fair! I'm as much of a Mirror
as you or Inés.

-Inés?
-I overheard her

and Paola whispering
about some Mirror secrets.

-I'm sure she told her everything.
-Yeah…

Why am I excluded from knowing?
It's not fair.

You know what? You're right.

It's not fair that you're the only one
who doesn't know.

The only problem is I promised
not to tell anyone.

But nobody said that I couldn't
write it down. Give me your notebook.

David!

Yo, dude, you have to give this a try.
It's freakin' mind-blowing.

I was gonna wait for you,
but I couldn't help it.

-Is that the Multiprix VR?
-Hmm.

It's like being inside the game.
Come on, put yours on.

I mean, you can pick right up
where I left off,

or we can connect online
and find a multiplayer game.

Pass.

[headset chimes]

[sighs]

Dude, we waited weeks for these
to come in for us.

Are you seriously not gonna try them?

[♪ pensive instrumental music playing]

I get it. I made a mistake. I get it.

But come on,
it's not like I have the plague.

Could you give me a hand
with Noe and Saray?

You got yourself into this,
it's up to you to get out of it.

Don't put it on me.

[sighs]

[scat-sings]

Well, well, well.
I hope you're in good spirits

because you managed to put Ayla
out of the running for good.

[gasps] Tell me. How did you do it?
I want details.

-Well… [laughs nervously]
-[♪ perky instrumental music playing]

W…Well, I… [clears throat]

First, I tried the thing with the sandbag.

-[gasps] And?
-It didn't work.

-Mm, too bad.
-Then, it was setting a trap for her.

The same one I set for the fur seller
when he came for his money.

And?

-Didn't work either.
-[groans]

And then, I was gonna try the marbles idea
I saw on the cartoon.

-But--
-Eric, are you seriously saying

that you were hanging around
the whole day at the Forest,

but that you have accomplished nothing?

How can anyone be so moronic?
You idiot!

-[plate rattling]
-You're useless!

-I can't depend on you for anything!
-[♪ whimsical instrumental music plays]

All you had to do was prevent

that unbearable brat
from dancing in Move You.

I mean, how anybody could fail at anything

-that easy, I just don't know.
-I didn't fail, exactly.

-What?
-Perhaps, in the beginning,

I did a little, but in the end, no!

What I mean is, I didn't do it because…

it's not nice to hurt anyone, like,
who's a good person. You know?

[scoffs] A good person?
[laughs] A good person?

That good person could take me
to the cleaners, my treasures all gone.

But is that really what you want for me?

Do you know what that good person
would do if she knew who you were?

Do you think she'd say,

"Oh, don't sweat it. Don't worry about it.
I'm such a good person."

No!

She would just happily
boot you out like a bug, got it?

And you and your troubles
would never again cross her mind.

So now, you get back to that orphanage,
and don't come back

until Ayla is bandaged to her eyelashes,
or I'm gonna fire you!

Ma'am, you won't have to fire me for that.

[♪ sad instrumental music playing]

You know that I have always done
what you required me to.

However difficult.

But this is so… I'm won't do it.

Because I am a good person also.

And you know what? Others appreciate it.

-I'm very sorry. I quit.
-[ceramic shatters]

[gasps]

I'm dizzy.

-Oh, my God. I'm not okay. Oh, my God.
