DELFI AND MAR UNITE

-["Yo Digo Magia" playing]
-♪ Your magic and mine will never unite ♪

-[song concludes]
-The diva really went for it.

-My queen, I waited for you.
-Especially since I care for the fandom.

What fandom is that, Sasha?

[Margarita over laptop]
Well, we got three viewers.

-I look like a pumpkin next to you.
-Stop that.

-You're lovely.
-This was a recording. It was a recording.

They recorded this
before Delfina cheated our contest!

Leave it to me.

-Where's Mar?
-[keyboard clacking]

Where's Mar? We want to see her live!

TUNNELS OF KRIKORAGÁN

-[soft music playing]
-I can't believe Delfina did all this.

She tried to k*ll you.

-Yeah.
-She's a monster.

Let's say I didn't strike the gold mine
with my aunts.

She wasn't mean only to me.
She lied to Daisy her whole life.

I went to the Hangar looking for Daisy…

but I was actually looking for you.

And I found you.

I've been smitten since the beginning.

-[chuckles] Oui.
-[music concludes]

-Ada?
-[Ada] Well, who else?

[Pipe] How'd you get in?

A magician never reveals his secrets.
I'm sick of the silence, Pipe.

You're stuck here, and I'm quiet.
You know?

-Pipe.
-What?

-Let's go.
-[janitor] Why is he here?

I brought the little rat
to help me out in the kitchen.

-Yes.
-I won't allow these d*adbeats

to freeload on us.

-What'd you think?
-[janitor] Perfect.

-[Ada] Mm-hmm.
-[Pipe] Mm-hmm.

[comical music playing]

And who are you, ma'am?
I haven't seen you.

-[Pipe] No?
-What? Yes, you have.

-You've seen me.
-Yeah?

I can see you didn't pay attention.

-Hmm.
-Because I've seen you.

-Really?
-[Ada] Yes. I've worked here a month now.

They hired me to keep you in line,
focused and working hard.

-Want an example?
-Sure.

Attention!
Wake up, you dozy pillock! March on!

-No, I'll take that.
-[Ada] Yes.

-Let him.
-[janitor] No, I'll take it.

-[Ada] He'll help.
-No, I'll help. Scoot, kid.

[janitor] Let's go.

Move.

Is this the help you want?

-[rock music playing over phone]
-Reina is much more than a channel,

it's a totally new concept…

Let me guess.
She'll announce your new solo.

-[chuckles] I wish.
-What?

With your talent,
you would be my first option.

I think Delfina has a favorite,
Margarita, and it isn't you.

-[chuckles]
-And now…

to prove to you we're really live,
in color, right out of Korea…

-Margarita!
-[upbeat music playing]

Wow, amazing.

With this channel,
you're trending more than I am.

I went up the tallest building
in all of Korea

to shout to the four winds
that you are the absolute queen.

[sighs] We'll just stay here

watching Margarita's show?

Once you have a fandom,
maybe they'll notice you.

-[chuckles]
-For now, you're just extras.

You don't know how many questions
our fans asked us.

I have a message for them.

I want them to stay tuned 24/7 on Reina.

It's not just some podcast
hosted by three yapping boys.

-No, no, no.
-Three yapping boys?

She doesn't mean us. She loves us.

Don't be naive, Sasha.

We have art, magic, music, production.

Production? And then some!

[giggles] Congratulations, Yami Puentes!

-[crowd applauding]
-You're the best! The best! [chuckles]

She gave the exclusive to Delfina.

-To Delfina.
-[music concludes]

So, if you're Princess Margarita,

and Fach is your brother, then he…

Yeah, he's Prince Federico.

That's why he hates me. [scoffs]

-He doesn't hate you.
-He does.

And I get it.

-[sentimental music playing]
-I don't blame him.

-What's wrong, ex-prince?
-Don't call me that.

I'm not a prince.

I apologize for everything
you and your family had to endure.

Forgive me.

I didn't mean to upset you.

No.

When we talk about all this, I…

I feel without a family.

Everyone has such big families,
and I'm lonely as the moon.

But I found out that…

I have two brothers.

A mother and a father.

And even if the five of us…
spent very little time together, I…

-feel…
-Yes.

Yeah.

-[music concludes]
-Enough about my trip around the world.

-[lively music playing]
-They told me you have a surprise.

Of course. Just as I found you,

I want to find new talent
to accompany me into Reina.

[Yamila as Margarita]
You're so generous, Delfi.

You waved your magic wand
and changed my life, so…

-take this opportunity.
-We'll have worldwide casting.

-You guys will pick the protagonists.
-[intriguing music playing]

-Again? So, a contest.
-Don't fall for it.

She'll steal your ideas,
take all the credit,

manipulate the results,
and then, she'll cast you aside.

To top it off, after many requests,

we'll check on our princess
as she "escapes" through the world.

["Escaparé" playing]

♪ I'll forever run away with you ♪

♪ I'll look after you
Teach you how to love ♪

♪ Your little heart with mine ♪

♪ Together towards the same place ♪

♪ I'll go with you ♪

♪ Together, in the end ♪

♪ We'll be like stars in the sea ♪

♪ Our heart will be the one ♪

♪ We'll go together ♪

♪ Together forever ♪

♪ Our heart will be just the one ♪

[song concludes]

[Margarita] Well, Delfina's lie
had some truth in it.

I wasn't happy, or radiant,
but I was truthfully "escaping."

What's all the whispering?
I get jealous, you hear me?

-Hmm. No.
-[soft music playing]

Andiamo, vecchio amore mio.
You must still tell me of your adventures.

-Come on, Merlin. They'll find us.
-No, chill out, buddy.

Who will find us down here? [scoffs]

-[footsteps receding]
-[music fades]

[tense music playing]

Search every tunnel.

King Erasmus wants them alive or dead!

[Erasmus] And so, Ali was kidnapped…

by Merlin's g*ons.

So we ask all of our people,
please, help us. Inform us.

Margarita just barely avoided
the security cameras.

-Mm-hmm.
-I believe in magic now.

-[Borja] What's that scumbag saying?
-He's offering millions

to anyone bringing information
on the princes, or on Rayan.

Remember the French Embassy in India?

[groans] Bien sur, we met there.

Well, when Pierre left,

they wanted to turn me and my family in
to the Indian army.

Luckily, I escaped,
then helped them get away.

Then I helped refugees
and political exiles.

That's how I wound up in Krikoragán.

You have no idea
what the Pietros are doing here.

Their regime is savage.

[suspenseful music playing]

-[in Krikon] A kiwi, please.
-This ain't a fruit stand.

They said you guys had kiwis.

-[in Spanish] What?
-She didn't say the keyword.

-Did Hans tell you the wrong spy name?
-Impossible.

Hans never messes up. Come on.

I'm a trader.
I sell fruit, coffee, and information.

[dramatic music sting]

Rayan, buddy.
You're as brave and generous as always.

You must have been through a lot.

-We've walked enough miles…
-[scoffs]

…to go around the world.

Don't even start,
I don't want to think about

all the girls you enraptured on your way.

-Maybe a few.
-Uh-huh.

-But only one stands out.
-[comical music playing]

-She taught me Spanish.
-[chuckles]

Are we getting there? Ali is tired.

-I'm not.
-Yeah, you are.

-I think Merlin is tired.
-[chuckles]

-Relax, it's over there.
-Okay.

-[royal guard shouting in distance]
-[intense music playing]

[shouting continues]

[Rayan] Let's go.

[Margarita panting]

Maintenance should handle that.

You wanted to help me
fix the incinerator, sir.

Then help me.

-No, ma'am. Sorry, no can do.
-[comical music playing]

When a dame asks a favor,
a gentleman comes running.

To the furnace.

-[thuds]
-[Pipe mumbles]

-[tense music playing]
-[panting] Let's go.

Come on, Ali.

-[royal guards shouting]
-[Margarita screams]

[Merlin] This way. Run!

What is this?

-What?
-[Ada] Don't you see green?

-I do.
-What of your eco-friendliness?

-It's all plastic.
-No big deal, it's just paper.

Give me that. Now.

-Fine.
-Go on.

Okay, okay.

[screams]

On three, we run opposite ways.
One, two, three, let's go!

[gasps]

[royal guard] Halt!

[music concludes]

What did you say about Margarita?

That you're a diva
for giving her that free trip.

-And?
-And…

-And?
-Nothing.

Can I say a little something?

-Tone the acting down a notch.
-[gasps]

You're really overdoing it,
it's not convincing.

-[sighs]
-Mm-hmm.

Acting is my thing, Delf.
I get into character!

I was thinking maybe
I could act more in another program,

-or have my own… solo program.
-[comical music playing]

No. Do you know why?

You suck at interpreting, Yamila.
You could do that for me.

No.

-Poached egg? Or do you want it stirred?
-[groans]

-What?
-Omelet? I'll k*ll you. [grunts]

-Dumbass.
-What?

-They let Ada get away.
-What?

-Relax, my team is on it.
-No! I'll k*ll you.

-[grunts]
-I'll k*ll you.

Here. Thank you so much.

-Here?
-Yeah.

-Shall I lower it for you?
-No, it's fine.

-All right, I'll drop you off.
-Great.

-Tell me…
-What?

When are you off work?

Excuse me?

What's your shift like?
I just wanted to know.

[comical music continues]

What do you mean?
Are you hitting on me next to a dumpster?

-"Relax. Relax."
-[groans]

You sure like telling me to relax!

-There are 200 men after her. Breathe.
-[breathes shakily]

This is serious, okay?
She probably talked to the Marquess.

The Royal Guard must be coming for me.

-Now?
-What do you mean "now"?

Now that I've got it under control?

-Now that I'm triumphing?
-Relax, honey.

I could go to jail.

-[breathes heavily] Like, forever.
-Leave it to me.

-You love talking about that.
-Leave it to me.

-I'll rip your head off.
-Chill.

-Handle it.
-All right.

-I will.
-Get out! [sobs]

I never have free time.

-Can't you make time?
-Sure.

But my schedule's always packed.

-I'll figure it out.
-And if…

Don't worry, I'll figure it out.

-Maybe you have time to…
-Too busy.

-[janitor] I get it.
-[upbeat music playing]

[Ada] There. Perfect.

[whispers] Get out.

Ada, that way.

[music concludes]

I love your music, girl!
Korea is to die for!

But reply to my messages.
Or just call. I texted you a ton.

-That's amazing for Mar, right?
-[chuckles] Yeah. But it's weird.

She hasn't responded to a single message.

-I'm not the only one?
-[chuckles] No.

I also sent a bunch of texts, and nothing.

As a friend, I mean.

-[soft music playing]
-I just wanted to check on everything.

There's nothing with Mar and I. Nothing.

You don't need
to explain yourself, my king.

Of course, my princess. Just saying.

My heart is always available for you.

-Hmm. That's a good song title.
-Shall we compose together?

I have to go. [clears throat]

[music concludes]

Don't you know me? I'm the princess
in the hearts of the people.

-Am I not in yours?
-[yells in Krikon]

Sorry for dragging you into this.

-[explosions]
-[screaming]

-[dramatic music playing]
-[indistinct yelling, grunting]

-[Sarik] Run, Mar!
-[royal guards grunt]

[groans]

[music concludes]

-Why are you looking for Alfonse?
-That doesn't matter.

The information I have
will cost you 5,000 krikones.

-I can wire that in dollars right now.
-Hard cash only.

No paper? Later… alligator.

[tense music playing]

How do you know
His Majesty Maximo Augustus?

I'm loyal to his cause.
That's all I can say.

All I know of Alfonse
is that he lives still.

I'm not sure where, but I know someone
who could take you to him.

All right.

Lead the way, then.

-[Rayan] Let's go!
-[dramatic music playing]

[royal guard shouting in distance]

[royal guards yelling]

[royal guards yelling in distance]

-[yelling continues]
-[Merlin] Let's go.

-[music concludes]
-What's wrong? Where are you going?

-I'll send you an e-mail.
-[chuckles]

I'll share my schedule
or make a spreadsheet, okay?

-I'll mark activities, too.
-I want all of it.

I think it'll be full of nothing.

In fact, I am about
to go do many "nothings."

Guys, stop what you're doing.
Delfina wants to make a series.

You'll all be the protagonists
of a great love story.

-How cute. [giggles]
-[comical music playing]

-Do you like it?
-No, Yamila.

-Huh?
-I want to co-star with a handsome guy.

I don't want people to think
I'm in love with this bum.

She's more of a villain.

Couldn't it be a sweeter girl?
More feminine--

Enough. I've had it with you two.

I'll leave the scripts
so you can rehearse.

Thanks.

-[birds chirping]
-[intriguing music playing]

Thanks a ton for the help.

-You'll be safe here.
-You speak Spanish?

Who are you?

I'm Sarik.
I lead a small resistance group.

We're loyal to House Cornwall.

Merlin, you were very brave
at the wedding.

It was very important for us.

I did it for and thanks to her.

You recognize her, no?

Of course. Margarita.

-The princess in the hearts of the people.
-[chuckles]

Then we'll come back
and get you across the border.

There's food and clothes for you inside.
Follow this direction.

-Excuse me.
-Thank you.

What is this place?

-It's the home of the Trinity Marquess.
-[music fades]

It's like our embassy.

Uh. We're staying here?

No, we're telling the truth
about Margarita. And asking for help.

-What?
-What?

[soft uplifting music playing]

-But you know too?
-You know too?

Yes, that Princess Margarita…

-Is not Daisy!
-Is not Daisy!

Yes, Margarita told me
before traveling around the world.

That's why that vile woman
locked you in that awful place.

-[sighs] Pipe.
-What?

-Margarita's trip gives me the creeps.
-[buzzer sounds]

-Why?
-Why else?

-Why do you think?
-[Pipe] I don't know.

-Trust me.
-Okay.

[Ada] Good morning. We don't have
an appointment with Trinity Marquess,

can you let her know we're here?

-Delf, you have visitors.
-[Delfina] No.

My mother is not a visitor. Send her away.

-No. It's the Trinity Marquess.
-[comical music playing]

-[mouthing] Here?
-[mouthing] Outside.

[whimpers]

-Inconceivable.
-Of course. Let me explain.

Ada is unwell.

Maybe it was the move,
or the neurological problems.

She says a lot of mean stuff--
In other words, she is stir crazy.

-How come?
-Did she not say crazy stuff to you?

Ada? She said nothing.

-I'm hearing it out of your mouth.
-My mouth?

The Marquess is out,
I don't know when she'll be back.

[music concludes]

-[Ada] Thank you.
-Mm.

What now?

-Do I leave a message?
-How?

Like, a smoke signal?

-Should I call her?
-I don't know.

She'll pick up eventually.

[tense music playing]

[Severino] Ada.

What a coincidence!

I find it unacceptable.
The kingdom burns, and you're playing.

Yeah, we'll use Reina to say a few words
to the people of Krikoragán.

-What do you think?
-Not you.

-No?
-The princess.

Of course, the princess.

[Merlin] Did you know
that rebel faction, Rayan?

I know of them, but I've never met them.

It's crazy we bumped into them
right then and there.

Crazy? Please. For real?

After everything,
you still believe in coincidences?

Come. Let's go look for food. [sighs]

[keyboard clacking]

-Margarita and Delfina have declared w*r.
-[soft music playing]

We must counter-attack.
If they mentioned us, we must respond.

-No?
-I agree with Zeki.

We must react.

-We must react.
-[both] Yes.

-Yeah.
-Yes.

-[cell phone ringing]
-Nice.

-How?
-I don't know.

-[indistinct muttering]
-[cell phone beeps]

-Daisy?
-[Daisy] Hi, I need your magic.

-I need one By Zeki, now.
-[Zeki] Sure.

Obvious. What's the occasion?

They need me to make
an official statement as princess.

How? When? Where? Hi, Daisy.

[all] Hi.

[Daisy] Tomorrow,
during my aunt's stream.

I know it's last minute, but…

Don't worry. I'll make a great By Zeki
in record time.

In exchange,
will you give us the exclusive?

-Exclusive? What do you mean?
-[lively music playing]

[Otto] Your aunt declared w*r,
and we're counter-attacking.

We want your speech
exclusively on our channel.

I don't know, Otto. That's serious stuff.

It's serious for us, too.
With all due respect,

the show your aunt set up
with Margarita, it was…

[Daisy] I know, don't get me started.

I didn't even know she sent Mar
traveling around the world.

That's exactly why.

I'll fix you up
with a super fancy princess look.

-I want it all.
-Full service.

In exchange, we want the exclusive.
[clears throat] Deal?

[music concludes]

Stop with that noise, Borja.

How long will we wait? She left ages ago.

As long as we must, Maika.

Is she really trustworthy?

I don't know,
but Hans wouldn't put us in danger.

[cell phone ringing]

-Is it her?
-No, that's Margarita.

[Margarita] Sir, won't you update

-your favorite sister?
-[Federico] Sorry.

I was focused on Andrés' mission.

-Find anything?
-No, but we're close.

Dalia Frijman,
one of dad's ex-spies, will take us

to someone who might know where he is.

-When you say "dad," I feel flikiti.
-[magical chimes]

-Sadness?
-[sentimental music playing]

-Tenderness.
-[chuckles softly]

[Margarita] Suddenly,
I'm putting together my family tree.

-I have parents, siblings now.
-[chuckles]

-Even a surname.
-Yeah.

-I used to borrow Anieta's.
-You're a Cornwall de La Hoya.

You're Fach, of Frederico Augusto
Cornwall de La Hoya.

So, what's my name?

Do I have a middle name?

-Yes.
-[gasps]

Mom chose Margarita after her own mother.

-And Ana because of Dad's mother.
-Margarita…

Ana, meaning…

-Mach.
-[chuckles] Fach and Mach.

I can't believe you're alone.

Relax, I'm not.

-Bye, Mach.
-[chuckles]

[music concludes]

-[playful music playing]
-[Delfina] You behave poorly, Ada.

What's with you?
You can always do things right,

-then you do them wrong.
-Always.

You don't understand that Daisy is mine.
It doesn't concern you.

It doesn't concern you
that Margarita is in my hands.

-It's not your business.
-Where is she?

-In Korea. Didn't you see? [laughs]
-[laughs]

Under what threat?
How do you get her to do what you want?

I don't manipulate anyone. We had a chat

and she realized she was stupid
to believe herself a princess.

We decided to end this w*r.
I propose the same to you.

-Severino.
-We have cameras everywhere.

-Even indoors, to make sure you're okay.
-Mm-hmm.

We also have microphones everywhere,
to make sure you're well.

From now on, any movement,

any thought you may have,
will be known to us.

-Anything else?
-[Delfina] Yes.

-[music concludes]
-Get out. Not you, idiot.

[fire crackling]

Are you okay?

-Yeah.
-[soft music playing]

I feel so much flikitis.

Fach is looking for Andrés.

I know…

all I needed to know.

My family, my history…

I can't be away from him now.

You want to be with your brother, no?

Then…

I'll go with you, Mar.

Let's do this together.

-Before that, I have to look after Ali--
-No.

No, you can't stay.

And you?

Will you stay?

-[music concludes]
-Pipe, my lovely boy.

I haven't seen you in a century!

Don't even try, Delfina.
I know the whole truth.

-Don't tell me you spoke to Ada. She--
-Mar told me.

[Delfina] When'd you talk to her?

You didn't talk to Margarita.
You don't know what happened.

Fach made Margarita believe
that she's Daisy, can you believe it?

I get the creeps just thinking about it.

I don't believe a person could be so evil.

Don't give me that look,
you don't believe me?

Do you want to talk to Margarita?
Let's call her.

Pipe. Pipe, I miss you, buddy.

Mar?

-[lively music playing]
-Don't tell me you've forgotten me.

I tried to call so many times.

You wouldn't pick up. Where were you?

Pipe had some little issues

with the law, and…

He spent some time…
Well, it's behind him now.

Pipe, don't tell me you stole something.

Mar, don't tell me you believe it too.

Relax, it's over, Pipe. [chuckles]

[sighs]

I don't know what you did,

but whatever it was,
I know that you're a good person.

Please, Delf. He deserves another chance.

Another chance.

Fine, I'll do what I can
to get Pipe to live with me.

[Margarita] When we fall into a trap,

when a snake surrounds us
and goes for the k*ll,

-the only thing that saves us is faith.
-[pensive music playing]

[Rayan] Did you talk to your brother?

-Yeah.
-Got a kostic? A brother?

Yes. He's here in Krikoragán.

-Adventuring, like us.
-[chuckles]

If someone could find him,
I'd be very thankful.

-Of course. What's he after?
-[music fades]

The story's a bit complicated,

but he's looking for our other brother.

But they're close.

They met this…

Dalia Frijman, who will take them to…

-[chuckles]
-[tense music playing]

[Rayan] Dalia Frijman?

Yeah.

[Dalia] Get ready. My people are near.

That woman works for the Pietros.

-She betrayed us. Sold us to the leeches.
-[tires screech]

[Margarita] Like a mantra,
like a prayer, like a decree of faith.

It doesn't matter what life
throws at me, because I…

will make it.
