\PREVIOUSLY
\This is the notebook with the alchemy symbols.
\[Max] Why was Gael looking for this notebook?
o idea, but we need to report him.
\Leo... you could end up badly... like your father did.
\[Tenoch] How did Leo's dad end?
\[Maya] Dead.
\This is getting scary.
\If you don't want any trouble, stay out of this.
o! The pendant is gone. They stole it.
\[all] Rafa.
\He must be working for Gael.
\I told you Rafa wasn't trustworthy.
\Yeah, he always gave me a bad vibe. He's shady.
\Then, what we have is only a part of the score?
\So it seems.
\I know where they keep the score.
\[laughs]
\[classical music]
\[Gael] Leo!
Leo.
Are you okay? I was very worried.
[Gael] I wanted to help you, but I didn't know what to do.
Leo, I looked for you everywhere.
[whooshing]
Sorry. I-- I just wanted...
[Gael] You too?
Who else listened to the score?
What do you know about the score?
That its powers are no game.
Where is Leo?
I mean it, you should stay away from this.
I need to know where Leo is.
Leo was obsessed with finding the score.
That's why he disappeared.
Was someone after Leo?
I think so.
Who?
Listen to me... The score can be dangerous.
[eerie music]
We can't talk here. It's not safe.
But who was chasing him? Rafa?
I think so. But he's not alone.
Oh, teacher Gael, your taxi is already here.
Thanks, I'm coming.
I need to attend a conference.
I can't discuss this anymore. It's dangerous for all of us.
Gael, please...
You know I won't stop. I'll find Leo, whatever it takes.
[dramatic music]
\I told you. No one's here at this time of day.
\Did you bring the score?
\[slow classical music]
\Prepare for something incredible.
\[earth trembling]
[Rafa chuckles]
Wow... That's how they escaped from me.
And wait until you see the rest.
We've been looking in the wrong place all this time.
I can't believe Gael was protecting Leo.
Protecting him from what?
Or from whom. What if someone is behind Rafa?
Did you check who he talks to on the phone?
It's not that easy.
He speaks in code. The Principal, Dod.
Rosa. It could be anyone.
We must speak with Gael...
and find out who that person is. It's the key to finding Leo.
Let's do it while we still have our powers.
What did Gael mean when he said they're dangerous?
[classical music]
I feel something in my hands.
Probably a cramp. You played the score 20 times.
[shushes her] Hush, I need to know what my power is.
Maybe I can fly or have healing powers.
Rafa, stop dreaming. It's not working,
and the music's different from the one I heard.
Are you sure?
Yes. It was special that time... As if time had stopped.
I felt a tingle in my ear. Nothing like this.
I don't get it.
[eerie music]
Do they know about your powers?
No idea.
Maybe they discovered it using their powers.
What are you doing?
This isn't an old parchment...
They knew you were listening and kept a fake score for us!
- They tricked me! - Both of us!
[dramatic piano chord]
But we're together in this... They'll regret this.
[slow saxophone music]
You couldn't sleep?
Me neither.
I'm sure we're very close to finding Leo.
You're standing on the F.
- [Max chuckles] - [Maya sighs]
Look.
[whooshing]
You should rehearse a bit, before they move.
[eerie music]
- Finally. Tenoch, wait! Don't disappear. - [Tenoch screams and grunts]
I called you so you'd hear this.
[Tenoch snorts]
That's all it plays.
It sounds awful.
Well, it's not the ghost of Mozart, but... it's something.
A technical glitch.
[Tenoch gasps]
Did you call anyone else?
No.
[Maya] It's the same symbol that was on the clavichord.
[Nati] It's similar to the one on our hands.
There's something here. Do you have something sharp?
Uh, maybe some nose hair scissors?
Ew... Never mind, I'll do it.
Okay.
[eerie music]
Give me your hand.
Music empowers, and alchemy transforms.
The leaded score contains both forces. It's pure power.
And what could you do with that power?
Power is like a pendulum swaying between good and evil.
Every abuse will have dire consequences.
Germán, hand me that manuscript, please. Everything here is a symbol.
This... is the starting fire... and the mark of a guide.
Can I be a guide?
The score's power is so great it needs its own guardians.
The guide will gather them to protect the score.
Who could the guide be?
[knocking at the door]
Principal Jordán. Good evening.
Not so good.
I received complaints from other rooms, telling me you talk too loud
and keep your lights on until late.
We didn't know they could hear us.
Don't let it happen again.
Catalina... Where is Leo Beltrán?
I guess he's at home.
Tell us the truth. We know something's going on.
What? No, no, wait. I don't understand any of this.
You have to tell me what's going on.
Catalina. Erase.
Yes, we're turning off the lights.
[Catalina stutters]
Okay, good night.
I guess it wasn't her.
No.
But I don't think this method is working. If she knew something, she'd hide it.
[Nati sighs]
[upbeat classical music]
Did you send for me?
Yes.
[Pepe] Careful with that shoulder, it's about to fracture.
And you should chew more, there's undigested food...
- It's too much... - Yes, yes. Thanks, Pepe,
but we're here to talk about your little plant.
Bonsai. That's its name.
Okay, same thing.
Not the same. A plant is one thing, and a bonsai is another.
Yes, okay, anyway.
The cleaning staff told me you don't let them enter your room.
I don't want them touching my bonsai.
It's delicate...
Is there a cat in your purse?
What?
I saw a hairball. Maybe a cat's.
No, no, no. I just cut my-- my hair. They're my extensions.
Excuse me, Principal. Do you have a minute, please?
Yes, yes. Just one second, okay?
Uh-huh.
[whooshing]
No, no, give me two more, and bring them to my table.
Connie, carry my bag.
Thanks.
It can't be.
This is great.
That hat doesn't suit you. Take it off. [Paulina's voice echoes]
[gasps]
You stress me out. Go to sleep. [Paulina's voice echoes]
[gasps] [chuckles]
You, don't look at me. [Paulina's voice echoes]
Give me your spot. [Paulina's voice echoes]
Paulina, if you don't relax, everyone will notice.
Have you noticed?
What? Your new hair? Of course I noticed your power.
Isn't it great? Don't worry, I have great plans for us.
Go shopping without paying, a whole spa for ourselves...
That's it? Your power's amazing. We must tell Rafa.
He knows. We met.
And... we kissed.
Thanks. [giggles]
[clears his throat] Okay... guys, well...
It's not bad, but... How can I put this?
Meh.
Uh... Is "meh" worse than "pfft"?
Listen, this is supposed to be a techno and classical fusion, right?
Mh-hmm.
Well, neither stands out, and I know you have talent for more.
We'll think of something else.
No. There's no time. You'll be one of the first groups.
[Dod sighs]
Just rehearse it some more.
I'll see you after the break.
We have to investigate Dod. What if you turn into the Principal?
So he'll be all over me? I pass.
Let's focus on our assignment... We're the worst.
He didn't say that. We're just... "meh".
Besides, my mom's coming...
Oh, maybe my aunts will come too...
Ugh, I wish I had the power to disappear that day.
Calm down. We could play something finished... I have a track.
[romantic guitar music]
Where did you find that?
Uh... Around... The internet.
Why? Don't you like it?
I love it! Let's do that song, it's great.
[both laugh]
[lively violin music]
It's not working. I don't feel the same.
And there were no lights.
The piano and the sax didn't work...
It seems to be written for a clavichord. Maybe it needs that timbre?
Maybe. We'll just have to enter the attic.
And our powers will disappear soon. Tell Tenoch.
[phone notification]
Are you okay?
Yes, why?
I don't know, you look tense.
One second. I'll make a call.
Maya, are you okay? You're the one who looks tense now.
[slow classical music]
Sorry, Rafa, but you're out of tempo.
Okay, don't worry. I'll catch you.
Trust me.
[Dod] Kids, one second.
Who wrote the piano parts?
[Rafa] I wrote the whole arrangement.
I like your confidence, Rafa...
but it's better if you simplify it, or this will be a disaster.
Go on. I'll be back in a second.
Yes.
[steps approaching]
Am I interrupting?
No. Actually, we could use an outsider's opinion.
Why are you nervous?
Huh?
Your heart, it's racing fast.
How would you know?
I can tell... from his face. Let me hear you.
[slow classical music]
Rafael Díaz Jauffred.
Ouch!
You knew about Pau's power and didn't tell me about it?
Ouch!
What power?
People do what I ask of them.
What?
Did you forget about the kissing too?
What kissing?
Oh, Rafa, don't be shy. You can tell her.
Pau, stop dreaming.
I asked you to kiss me, and you did. Great kiss, by the way.
Girls, I have no time for this. Really, I have to--
Wait, Rafa. [Paulina's voice echoes]
Kiss me. [Paulina's voice echoes]
[both moan]
Like that. See?
What was that?
Her power.
You control people's wills?
You could say so.
[laughs] Pau, this is incredible. Do you realize how great this is?
Kiss me. [Paulina's voice echoes]
[both moan]
Pau, don't abuse it.
No, it's just... you kiss differently.
Comb my hair. [Paulina's voice echoes]
Wait, you've never kissed me.
Why do you deny it?
You kissed me many times at the cafeteria.
You kept asking me about a pendant. You tasted like mint.
Wait, what did you say?
- That you tasted like mint. - No, about the pendant.
Now I get it. I think one of them has a transmutation power.
What?
- What? - [Rafa] It's the only explanation.
[slow classical music]
What if I kissed that Tenoch weirdo?
Or Max! What if it's Max?
I mean, first my brother and then Max. What kind of friend are you?
No...
It could be any of them... But, with your power,
they won't be able to stop us.
We'll get the score. I need to make a call.
[Paulina giggles]
Smile. [Paulina's voice echoes]
[giggles]
We need to talk.
Yes, whenever you want.
Now that no one's listening.
Don't worry, I'm very discreet.
I did what you said.
Oh, you finally put the toilet seat down. Bravo.
It's a code, right? The toilet seat is... what you and I know?
Did you eat breakfast, son?
You're delirious.
[uplifting music]
I was kidding.
Okay. Sorry, but I have lots to do.
Yes. Sure.
That's weird. Rebeca Staqui died in a lake long ago.
What's weird about it? Did she drown?
The boat sank, but they never found her body.
Yeah, there are legends about it. I made a podcast about it.
Andy, you took so long. How did it go?
It wasn't Miss Rosa. She has no idea.
Did you learn anything?
Yes, that the Principal loves Dod's hair.
[all laugh]
And she wants the course to end
because she's tired of all the noise.
She calls our music noise? [snorts]
What about Dod?
Dod wants us to take risks.
[with a funny voice] Make students leave their comfort zone.
[all laugh]
Well, our zone would be more like "Meh."
And Gael? He's not back yet.
What if it's someone from outside?
Maybe.
Guys, our time is running out. Let's go to the attic.
There.
POOL, REHEARSAL ROOM, CAFETERIA
Ready?
Wow!
H-- How did you do that?
Let's go.
[Andy] No!
[Paulina] Wow.
Teleportation, then? Who has that power?
I'll gladly tell you, when you tell me where the pendant is.
Pau.
Oh... Tell me where the score is. [Paulina's voice echoes]
Maya has it.
Erase.
Tell me where the score is. [Paulina's voice echoes]
Maya has it... Erase.
Tell me where you keep the score. [Paulina's voice echoes]
Maya has it. Erase.
- Where...? - Nati.
No, no!
- [Connie squeals] - [Rafa grunts]
[Tenoch] There.
Thank goodness. Pau and I were in a loop.
We need to be very careful with her.
How will we reset our powers now?
There's a harpsichord in a museum in Seville. We could go there.
No, it has to be a clavichord. We need that exact timbre.
That, or recover the pendant.
I saw a very pretty one.
Oh.
But we're looking for my mom's pendant.
- Uh-huh. - Yes, I lost it.
Oh, that's the famous bonsai, right?
It's doing badly. Have you seen Miss Rosa?
She's got a green thumb.
I think she's at the cafeteria.
[people chattering]
No, she's not.
How do you know?
I see things.
- [Andy chuckles] - Oh.
I have to go. See you later.
Max, wait.
What's up? I'm in a hurry.
I know where you're going... I got a message.
Deep down, you want to tell me what's wrong.
I am pawning my violin.
What?
I have to. Tuition is due tomorrow, and I have no money.
But you love your violin.
You have no idea.
I got it from my grandpa before he passed, and he got it from his father.
It saved my great grandpa's life.
There has to be another way.
No, I tried everything. I talked to the Principal, I looked for a job,
and my parents can't help me during this crisis.
It's my only choice. Otherwise, I'll have to leave this music school.
I have to go. I'm meeting an antiquarian in town.
Andy... Stop. [Paulina's voice echoes]
Come.
Tell me something. Do you know where the score is?
Yes. Oh!
So it was you!
Yes. Any requests?
Oh, you're the worst. You know it. Kiss me. [Paulina's voice echoes]
[both moan]
You know what? [giggles]
[Andy] What?
You're a better kisser than the real Rafa.
[Paulina giggles]
[whooshing]
Hey, Andy.
Stop. Andy...
Stop. Come back.
[Paulina grunts]
I studied the sequence of notes we heard the theremin play,
and it looks like some kind of code.
A code? How?
It sounds bad as a melody, so I thought it might be a code.
If you see Pau, cover your ears. She's out of control.
What happened?
Did you kiss her again?
- Really? - It was that or giving her the score.
The farther she is, the better.
Now we have to find Max, before he pawns is violin.
What?
But his violin is everything to him.
Yes, there has to be another way.
- [Paulina] Tenoch, don't move. - Come on, take us there.
Game over, guys.
Give me the score.
Are you deaf? Give me the score.
[Connie] What is happening?
Our powers disappeared. And you won't get the score.
We'll protect it, whatever it takes.
[dramatic classical music]
[Paulina groans and squeals]
ANTIQUES
There he is.
Are you okay?
I can't.
I can't sell it.
Max... you don't have to.
It's the only way for me to pay for my tuition.
I told you we should have used our powers to get a gold bar.
I don't think being criminals is the best choice.
If we had our powers, we could do anything.
Right. I could turn into a famous singer and sign autographs in a night club.
I preferred your crime ideas.
[Andy babbles mockingly]
No.
You don't need powers to help a friend.
What are you thinking?
Let's go.

[cheers and clapping]
We were so close to getting the score.
Calm down. You won't solve anything like this.
There must be a way to pressure them.
[dramatic music]
Connie, be careful. Maybe it's not Rafa.
He's so sweaty, and Rafa doesn't sweat.
Calm down, Pau.
And how do I know it's you? That patronizing tone is so like Connie.
But anyone could be unpleasant. I can't trust anyone.
Who cares about powers, Pau? No one should pretend to be someone else.
Oh. [giggles] I forgot. We say silly things when we're nervous.
Without the powers or the score, he'll kill me.
Who will kill you?
[Pepe] Has someone seen Miss Rosa?
What's wrong? You look upset.
Nothing, leave us alone.
I have a book about managing emotions.
I said leave.
- There he goes. - It would help you.
You're so tense and sweaty.
You know what would help me? To stop hearing so much silliness.
Was that about me?
About everyone.
[pot shatters]
Leave me alone.
My bonsai!
[dramatic music]
[Rosa] Hey, hey, hey!
What is this, boys? What is this? No, no.
Hey, hey, calm down.
[Maya] I'm burning up.
Thanks.
Is it enough to pay your tuition?
Only so they'll wait for me, but I'll see
where I'll get money for the course.
Well, but that's just a start.
If we play Thursday to Sunday, plus the occasional odd job...
I hope so.
We have to try.
I remember how much I disliked you the first time I saw you. But now...
But now what?
- But now... - But now what?
Now...
Maya!
[Gael clears his throat]
I've been thinking. You're right.
We need to talk, but not here.
[Gael] Follow me.
[Maya] Gael, we have to find the others.
[Gael] Come in.
[Max] Thanks.
[Gael] I thought it was better if you didn't know,
but now it's more dangerous if you don't know
what having powers implies.
Why is it dangerous?
First, because there are people after you
that would do anything to get them.
Gael, did you know about Rafa?
[Gael sighs]
Leo told me Rafa was with someone else, but he didn't know who.
He told you? What else did he say?
That he'd follow his father's footsteps, but without making mistakes.
Was his father's death related to all this?
That's unclear, but it's likely.
Leo wanted to go farther.
He wanted to use his power to find the other part of the score.
Two parts? Where's the other one?
[sighs] Leo must have it.
What happens if you play both?
Wait, first tell me what's up with Leo.
What's his power? Do you know where he is?
It's... complicated.
You need to understand that you can't
play the score as many times as you want.
Its melody has transformation powers.
That's why you need to play it complete.
[groans] How is that related to Leo? Tell me where he is!
Leo played the score too many times, and was trapped by his power.
Invisibility.
[dramatic music]
I have a plan for getting the score...
I'm sure they'll fall this time.
No. Time's up.
I'm taking care of it now.
