PREVIOUSLY

Lucía, Laura told me you would explain.
What's with the bracelet?

That's very dangerous. No!

[gasps]

-[Marco] I came to find you.
-[Félix] Allegra.

-And who are you?
-He's my friend.

Pedro.

He's very interested in taking
Light Years to Spain.

If you promise me that
the text won't be touched,

I'm willing to continue.

I want to be the new songwriter
for Light Years.

What if you traveling to now
has to do with him?

Do you want to meet...

NEW SONG

...in half an hour?

-[high-pitched ringing]
-[groans]

Do you hear that?

What a coincidence. Franco, your dad.

[Franco's dad] Franco.

This is my bar, and what I say goes.

PREVIOUSLY

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce
Amelia Sharp.

That was beautiful.

[gasps]

I felt the 75!

LA GRUTA BAR SINCE 1930

[tango music plays]

[rumbling]

Hey.

Are you okay?

I don't know what to do. [sighs]

[Amelia] What's wrong?

Antonio.

What did your dad do now?

He's going to sell the bar.

[laughs]

Please. He's actually worried about that?

Who'd want to buy this place?

A developer, Amelia.

The paperwork's already underway.

In 15 days, they'll tear down the bar
and construct a lovely building.

[puffs] Looks like I'm out of a job,
and I'll have to go back to my hometown.

I'll have to quit college

and get another job
to help my dad. [laughs]

Looks like some people
quickly forget about their dreams.

It's easy for you.

You live with your mom and grandmother.

You know exactly what you want to do.

[laughs] Wanting to be
a musical theater star

in a country where there are none,
and there are no places to study,

does that sound easy to you?

I need this place
so I can sing here every night.

And to practice solo.

I'm not going to give up.

[piano keys thump]

[Marco groans, sighs]

[Franco] What are you doing?

-Who are you?
-Marco.

Uh, hmm...

[sighs]

The... the piano.

I came to fix the piano.

And you're dressed like that
to fix a piano?

[Amelia laughs]

Super cute.

-[laughs]
-I love your look.

And, either way, the piano's not broken.

Uh, I could hear it from outside.

The... [presses pedal]

...pedal is loose.

Well, our days are numbered here,
so you can leave now, thanks.

It's under warranty.

Don't worry, I just need to tighten it.

That's great.

This is a sign.

I mean, I don't know,
while we're still here,

we have to do everything we can
to make this work.

Then maybe your dad
will realize selling isn't worth it.

Well, do whatever you want. Excuse me.

[steps fade away]

Thank you for coming.

[sighs]

[tango music ends]

INTERTWINED

AUDITIONS

[sighs] I sent you 40 texts,
80 voice memos. I even called you.

And no one calls people anymore.

Can we talk?
I don't get why you're so mad.

[laughs] You don't get why?

It's because of what you did to Marco.

What did I do to Marco?

You called Franco
so they'd see each other.

Uh, yes, but I did it to help him, hmm?

He didn't want to see him and you know it.

I don't get why you got involved.

Because I really wanted to help him.

I thought his travel was about his dad,
and clearly, I wasn't wrong.

[wind howls]

Sorry.

Is everything okay?

Yes. Yes, uh, I was looking
for the entrance to the auditions.

[laughs] I'm a bit nervous.
I didn't sleep all night.

I don't even know where I am.
Is it this way? Yes.

No, no, no. It's that way.
Come with me, I'm going too.

-Oh, nice.
-Uh...

[sighs]

[chattering]

-[student] Hi, Allegra. How are you?
-Hi.

Hello.

Okay, it's here.

Thank you. You're a dream.

[gasps] Oh, no!

I forgot my tap shoes. [sighs]

Uh, what's your size?

-Thirty-eight.
-Same as me.

-Wow.
-See if these fit you.

Wow, you saved my life.

Imagine if I'd lost the chance
for Cocó to see me.

[sighs] I can't tell you
how much I admire her.

-Dancing in front of her isn't easy.
-No.

[gasps] What if I freeze when I see her?

No.

Relax, okay?

Focus on your breathing.

And when you sing,
look her straight in the eye.

That's really important to Cocó.

[contestant] Thank you.

It's just that this audition stuff
makes me so nervous.

No, it really gets to me.

I don't know,
you rehearse, rehearse, rehearse,

then at the audition,
you can't even remember your name.

-Mm-hmm.
-Oh! I'm Clara.

-Uh, Allegra.
-Yes, I know.

No, I mean, you're the lead.

Yes, right... [laughs] ...Well, break a leg.

Thanks. Okay. [laughs]

Cocó, did you see
that my friend signed up?

-Who?
-Fausto, my friend, the songwriter.

He's exactly what we're looking for.

Yes, here he is.

Everyone's call is at 5:00,
but he didn't confirm.

Then I'll confirm for him.
He told me he's coming.

Okay.

Shouldn't you be at the auditions?

I should be,
but I'm here and it's your fault.

And what did I do now?

Marco traveled, and I don't know
if he'll make the audition.

And why is that my fault?

You made Marco see his dad

even though you knew
he didn't want to see him.

Let me remind you
that I don't control the bracelet, hmm?

[clicks tongue]

On top of that, Marco's cassette
has mysteriously disappeared.

I need your help.

It couldn't have been that important
if you lost it, right?

[sighs] I'm being serious, Félix.

I need that cassette.

Maybe it had a song, a base,
something to submit for the audition.

-[sighs]
-You're right.

You're right. I had Franco come

because I want Marco to resolve
what he came to do in this time quickly.

And you're doing this so he can stay
as long as possible, right? [scoffs]

Didn't you learn anything
from what happened to you?

[sighs]

Are you still in love with Marco?

[laughs] That's it. You just answered me.

Félix, I need you to...

It... it doesn't matter.

At some point,
Marco will go back to his time.

And I'll still be here, as always.

I'm only going to ask one thing.

Get him out of my house.

Please.

But your parents are traveling
and your brother is on tour.

[laughs]

It's not about them.

-[phone unlocks, typing]
-[scoffs]

I just sent you what you were looking for.

[cell phone beeps]

I digitized the cassette
before giving it to you.

The B-side has a song with no lyrics,
but you can use it.

[Allegra] Thank you.

[steps fade away]

[sighs]

Will the following numbers
please step forward:

950,

807,

840,

802,

and 935.

[piano key plays]

This is what we have.

-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

Well, shall we go?

Where?

It's still early.

No one's coming. It's over.

Let's not waste any more time.

[Paloma]
Well, knock me over with a feather.

-What was all that about not giving up?
-[scoffs]

It's one thing to be an optimist,
it's another to be a fool.

I'd rather be a fool than a traitor.

[Amelia] Excuse me?

-What did you say?
-[Franco] Hey,

-let her leave.
-No.

Looks like you forgot
what we said when we became friends.

We said a lot of things,
we were six years old.

The three of us made a promise:
to always stick together.

In good times and in bad.

I repeat, we were six years old.

The problem is that lately,
it's only been bad times, hmm?

Hey, thanks.

I'm not talking about you.

No, you were talking about him, too.

[sighs]

[Paloma] You only think of yourself.

And why is that a problem?

We've thought of each other for 15 years.

Don't you think it'd be good
if we each started thinking of ourselves?

No, I don't think so.

[steps fade away]

[door closes]

[steps fade away]

[Bárbara] Attention, please.

Will the following numbers get ready
for the dance audition:

25, 46, 2, 77, and 101.

Everyone else,
please take a seat in the wings.

-[contestant] Is here okay?
-[Bárbara] Yes.

Go that way.
We'll start the audition in 15 minutes.

Cocó, can I ask you a question?

Tell me.

Uh... [clears throat]

It turns out that I have
to make a documentary for college,

and I thought I'd make it about you,
about the Sharps.

So, I wanted to ask your permission
to film some auditions

and some behind-the-scenes moments so...

so the world can enjoy
some of the Sharp magic.

What do you think?

It's an awful idea.

I...

I swear you won't even hear me filming.

I swear,
I will be very... [whispers] ...quiet.

Given how much you talk, dear,
I doubt that.

[Bárbara chatters]

Do you know how many people
saw The D'Amelio Show?

Lots. Those girls
were already famous on social media,

but it was their TV show
that made them go mainstream.

Not to mention The Force Awakens
marketing campaign,

they took advantage
of the cast's on-screen chemistry

to sell the film,
and they broke every record.

Imagine what you could do
with Light Years.

You'll only film when I say you can.

And you're forbidden
from interrupting rehearsal.

Uh, uh...

I have to approve
the final cut of the documentary.

-[through teeth] Okay.
-Bárbara!

Uh. Go ahead.

[exhales]

Magic Ink

We need a stronger song for the finale.

Lyrics that leave the story open-ended.

So that I could write a sequel
in the future, right?

No.

[grumbles] No.

No.

I don't know
if Lucía would have liked that.

Oh, forgive me.
I've talked nonstop since you got here.

Don't worry, it's fine.

May I?

Yes.

[stops playing piano]

All of this is over my head.

It's too much responsibility
to live up to Lucía's stories.

Living up to the Sharp standard
is always a big responsibility.

[plays piano]

Maybe don't think so much
about what Lucía would have wanted.

Think more about what you want.

Which is what Lucía would have wanted.

-That's true.
-[laughs]

[plays piano]

Thanks for bearing with me.

I know it's not easy
to deal with the Sharps.

Oof.

How do you always stay so calm?

[sighs]

Greta didn't like me being this calm.

But well, she doesn't have to put up
with me or my calm attitude anymore.

I never wanted investing in Light Years
to cause you trouble.

No, none of this is your fault.

Maybe Greta was always right.

[plays piano]

And the reality is
that I never got over you.

I know what I have to do.

The finale.

Luz has to sing it, obviously.

Not just with her granddaughter,

but with her daughter, with Eugenio,
and the entire cast on stage.

A spectacular finale that
shows how all of our lives are united,

that they're connected
by an invisible thread.

I haven't done the best part.

It was enough for me.

-No, no. I can do it better, I promise.
-I doubt it.

There's nothing to improve,
you were flawless.

Thank you.

-[grunts] Ugh, Clara.

-[Caterina] No, that's not true.

[Diego] You didn't say anything.

-No, I did tell you.
-You didn't say anything...

-[Allegra] Whatcha doing?
-Oh!

Alle... Allegra.

-[sighs]
-Uh, nothing.

-We were here with...
-Uh...

...with Diego, I was writing, uh,
the musical's finale, and right then...

-[sighs]
-...I needed help, and Diego was nearby...

-I was next door.
-...and I asked him if he could... Yeah.

-I only asked what you were doing.
-Oh.

-We were at the piano and the...
-Exactly.

Has the audition started yet?

-Yes.
-Yes.

-In fact, let's go or Cocó will k*ll us.
-Yes.

That's why we brought the stuff.
I'll wait for you.

You're not coming?

Yes. Yes, be there in a minute.

[car horn honks]

Do you have much to go?

No, no, I... I'm finishing up.

Okay, can you hurry? Please.
We're about to close.

[clicks tongue]

[Franco] Okay.

It's over. I don't know what we'll do.

Something.

I reviewed the numbers, they don't add up.
I can't think of anything.

[smacks lips] You'll think of something.

Oh, yeah? And why are you so sure?

-Because it's you.
-[piano tuning]

-You're very smart.
-[laughs]

You always achieve your goals.

[door opens, creaks]

I don't know what I'd do without you.

[Amelia] Well...

[piano tuning continues]

Sorrow is better on a full stomach.

Thank you.

I always keep my promises.

[piano tuning continues]

Okay then.

Together until the end.

-Which seems to be sooner than later.
-[Amelia laughs]

-Hmm.
-[tuning continues]

[Marco plays "Summer Nights" on the piano]

[stops playing]

What was that?

Nothing. I was testing the piano.

Looks like it's fixed.

[sighs] No, what you were playing.

The song. It's from the musical.

-You know it?
-Uh, yes.

Yes, but I like the movie version better.

There isn't a movie.

Uh, there should be. It'd be a hit.

[laughs] Let's see, keep going.

[in Spanish]
Do you know what you just did?

[laughs] Sing.

No. Yes.

You just gave me a brilliant idea.

We have to remodel the bar.

[Amelia laughs] To make what?

A concert café.

It'd be a hit,
there's nothing like it here.

[Amelia laughs] It could work.

You have to tell your dad.

Yes, I should tell him first.

Can I give you a piece of advice?

I know nobody asked me, but...

my dad never listened to me.

Rather than tell him your ideas, show him.

That way he'll believe in you.

[bracelet whirring]

[bracelet stops whirring]

I... I better get going. I'm late.

[Marco runs away]

Good luck.

-[Félix] Wait, wait. Give me a second.
-[beep]

Now. Action.

What did Cocó say?

"What can I expect from someone
who's late to an audition?

Your friend lost his chance."

Do you have to record this too?

[Félix] Yes... [laughs] ...It's a documentary.

I don't get why
you're doing a project for college

when you haven't started class yet.

[Félix stutters] We have to do
a semester-long project

-and I want to get ahead.
-[banging]

And he's back.

[Allegra] You're back.

How did it go? How is everyone in '94?

I didn't travel to '94.

I traveled to '75.

-What?
-What?

-No, I don't get it.
-Me neither.

I had just gotten used to 2021
and the bracelet sent me to the '70s.

-[laughs] But what were you doing there?
-I don't know.

I saw my dad working at a bar,
it was very weird.

[laughs] I imagine.

No, you can't imagine.

I bet you won't guess
who my dad was going out with in '75.

Was it someone we know?

How do you know?

I imagine so, right?
Otherwise, you wouldn't ask us. [laughs]

Well, yeah. [laughs]

You don't have to be too smart
to realize that.

Who was your dad going out with?

With Cocó.

Okay, that is a good plot twist.

[laughs] I can't believe it.

I can. [stutters]
What if you two end up being related?

Just like Luke and Leia.

We can agree
that the Sharp women aren't known

for saying much
about their love lives, right?

But my dad?
I don't know, that doesn't make sense.

Uh, if they knew each other before,
why did he never tell me anything?

And why did he get so angry

when he found out that I was
in Cocó's musical theater company in '94?

They must have ended on bad terms.

Yes. But, why?

Maybe that's what you need
to find out on your travels.

Mm-hmm.

[inhales] No, I don't know.

[sighs]

Uh, hmm...

Seeing my dad at my age working at a bar,

getting to know him better,

seeing what his relationship
was like with my grandfather,

made me realize
why he was so strict with me.

That's it.

-The knot is going to untie now.
-Yes, yes.

-Wait, no...
-Shh, shh, shh.

Any moment now.

Guess not.

[Marco sighs] Now what?

I don't get it.
When I traveled, the knots...

Well, it doesn't matter.

Now we need Cocó to hear you.

Why? Did the auditions start?

No. They finished.

But we have to find a way
for Cocó to hear your demo.

Yes. Good luck with that, okay? See you.

What demo? I didn't write anything.

-Yet.
-[music plays through phone]

I took a picture
of the song lyrics my mom's writing.

What you have to do
is find a good melody for them.

LIGHT YEARS
Cocó's Edits

No, no, no. Don't get creative.

Exactly, that's it. Great.

I thought I was clear when I said
that the songwriter auditions ended.

Are you going to say you didn't like it?

I told you, Fausto is incredible.

No talent can make up
for a lack of discipline.

[sighs]

So?

I'm out?

I know her.

If she liked it,
the song'll be stuck in her head all day.

And what did you dream so, so much about?

You.

[gasps]

That's how it all started, remember?

You falling very delicately into my arms.

Looks like some things never change, no?

[Marco exhales]

Allegra, look, I came here to be with you.

And I really don't want to pressure you.
If you don't want to be with me, you...

No, no, no.

No, that's not it.

[sighs]

It was really hard for me to go on
with my life as if nothing happened.

Thinking I'd never see you again.

I don't want to suffer.

That's it.

I understand.

[Marco sighs]

[sighing] Well, help me finish
putting all this together,

so we can write the song.

I told you that beat would be perfect.

Where did you get that recording?

Your dad gave it to Félix.

It was on a cassette.

The cassette I gave him
the night of the fire.

What? He kept it all these years?

[sighs]

I thought he'd thrown it away.

[sighs] I need to see him.

I need to know how he is.

Be careful with that. Watch out.
