A NETFLIX SERIES
-Antonio, here you go. Enjoy. -Ooh.
-Thanks, Charlie. -There.
Hey, hey.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. How are you all doing?
I'm sure those of you who have waited and trained for this moment
are really anxious, and so are we.
Tomorrow marks the 15th year of Cielo Grande Summer Crush.
-All right! Yeah! -Whoo! Whoo!
-Where do you think she is? -I keep calling, but she's not picking up.
How bad is the fire, Noda?
Oh, I don't know. Augusto seemed worried, but I didn't really ask.
Ugh, I don't even have a single bar out here.
There's never been any reception in this part of the river.
As you know, our athletes have been training on two rivers
without knowing which one they'll be competing on.
Now it's time to reveal the secret. Charlie!
Ha-ha-ha!
Cielo's Summer Crush this year
will take place on the rapids.
-Let's go! -Let's go!
Now it's up to you all. I wish you the best of luck
-Hmm. -For you.
It's for the competition. It's a good luck charm.
Oh.
Thank you. So cute.
Hey, what's up, Steffi? Where have you been?
We've been looking all over.
Steffi?
Hello?
Everything okay?
I couldn't really hear her. She said something about a fire.
-We're here. This is it. -Hold on. Easy, girls.
-Do you see it? Can't see anything. -Where is it?
-I don't even see smoke. -We should be able to see it.
-Do you see any smoke? -Get out quick.
Wait till we're closer to the dock.
Code red. Code red. Steffi, Luz, and her mom just got to the hotel.
-See anything? -No, there's nothing.
-I don't see or smell anything. -Neither do I.
Noda, where did they say the fire was?
Sorry, there's no fire.
-What do you talking about? -I had to bring you back here.
-Noda, why did you lie to us? -I told him to.
Ron!
Noda, leave us alone.
The plan was to raise Steffi and keep her from meeting you.
-That doesn't make sense, and you know it. -Steffi's your daughter?
Yeah, you heard him correctly. This liar here is my dad.
And mine too, apparently.
Wait. What do you mean?
But that means I'm Steffi's mom?
What?
Lyn Ordóñez is my mom.
Really, Dad?
You two are twin sisters.
He's your dad, and I'm your mom.
What are you talking about? This doesn't make sense.
That's impossible.
Steffi.
I didn't want you to get hurt.
I was trying to keep you from looking for a mother who didn't love you.
I loved her and I still love her.
But your parents told me it would be best to separate them.
What do you mean? How is it better to separate someone from their own sister
and their mother?
My parents separated them?
Our grandparents?
They told me you didn't want to keep the baby.
They never said there were two.
They told me you didn't want anything to do with the babies or me.
My grandparents lied to me this whole time?
I can't believe that all my life
I had a mother.
And they just told me she was dead?
And you kept up the lie, Dad.
And you didn't tell me I had a sister.
-Luz, I'm sorry. -No, don't touch me.
Safety?
Got it. Paramedics and ambulances confirmed.
-Good. Is the podium ready? -We still need the boxes for that,
and the tarp will be here in an hour.
Okay. And do we have a jury?
Augusto was taking care of it. He said everything was good, so…
Hey.
Nati.
Nati, so, Julián and I were thinking you might want to help us
coordinate and manage the crowd during the competition. Is that okay?
Yeah, whatever you want. We always do whatever you want, right?
Hey.
You're right, Nati.
I'm sorry. My bad. But look.
-You put the butterflies in. -Yeah, Nati.
I'm sorry for being so "obtuse."
I promise I'll try to be more acute, accentuated… I don't know.
As long as you're a triangle and not a square, we're all good.
-Think we should post the video? -Yeah.
-Wait a sec. I want in. -All right.
-Whoo! -Let's start the countdown.
-Three, two, one… -Whoo!
-Done. -All right!
Nailed it.
Do you have a minute? I'd like to talk to you.
I never thought we'd see each other again.
Or that you'd want to talk to me at all after spending so many years apart.
I think we finally have to face our history.
I'm not gonna talk to someone who literally lied to me my entire life.
Your dad didn't even know the truth.
They lied to him too.
That doesn't excuse it.
It was his decision to lie to me.
I was told this woman here was my mother.
I have a picture of a random woman on my phone.
And since I got here, it's been like this.
Lie after lie…
…after lie.
Enough of that. Let's concentrate on the competition, okay?
Yeah. Let's put our energy toward the competition,
so we'll both feel better.
-Good morning, ladies. -Morning, Tony.
All I can say is I hope your night was a little less stormy than ours was.
What? Nervous about the competition?
Not exactly.
It's about our family.
Ron?
Luz and I, we are sisters.
Uh…
It's a long story, and I don't wanna lose any more focus on the competition.
-We can talk about it later, all right? -Uh-huh.
Hey, Steffi, I'm Natasha. Do you remember me?
Or have you not recovered yet from the crash?
Oh, believe me. I wish I could forget you, but you're like a nasty cockroach.
You just keep showing up.
Guess your sense of humor is coming back.
I think today I'm just gonna relax.
Honestly, I'll probably get bored.
Maybe I'll end up chilling with Julián.
I'm sure he'll get bored too, and you'll be busy training, right?
Ooh! Steffi's running from me.
That's odd. Does she do that with everyone or just me?
Are you kidding me?
I heard that this type of fruit has all these vitamins
that are just excellent for clearing up your skin.
-Okay? -Oh! Mm-hmm.
I'll see you out on the rapids, Natasha.
Ah.
I always loved you.
I stayed away because I thought you hated me.
Obviously, my parents were lying to both of us. I should've looked for you.
-Then why didn't you do it? -Because I was scared.
I really thought you didn't love us, me and our daughter.
I had no idea there was another child. This whole time…
I understand my parents lying,
but why didn't I know about Luz? Why didn't you tell me?
-You played a part in this too. -What should I have done?
They told me you were a womanizer and you were immature
and that I couldn't raise two girls and that if they took one,
both would be better off. I just did the best I could, Ron.
I wasn't a womanizer.
But I was immature. I let my parents handle everything.
The boxes are for the podium. Put 'em over there, okay? Thanks.
We've got… Good. Twelve and a few more coming.
What do you want me to do, Charlie?
Nati, okay. Uh, you'll keep track of everyone's scores today.
-Okay. -And the boxes, all the white ones…
-Mm-hmm. -…for the podium.
When we get there, I really need you to make sure
that one is in the center, okay? Three is to the left, two to the right.
-Okay, so the three goes in the middle-- -No, Nati, no.
Don't worry about it, Charlie.
I'm a mathematical genius, you know?
What are you talking about?
Okay.
-Hey! What's up? -Hey.
We're going to head straight to the rapids. No time to waste.
-It is our last day to train. -Okay, okay.
Have a good time out there.
And…
-I'll find the other ones. -Yeah, perfect.
Hey, Julián. I'm off today.
I was thinking we could hang out for a while, maybe relax?
Honestly, Natasha, I'm really busy organizing everything right now.
We still have a ton of work to get everything ready for tomorrow.
-Sorry about that. -Okay. Next time, then.
If I had 10,000 days off, I wouldn't spend one with her.
Man, you sent her packing to the nothing zone.
-Let's go. -Come on.
So you're twins,
but not identical.
I never would've thought that.
Bravo!
-Yeah, very nice. -Very good.
Okay, truth or dare? -Huh?
I said let's play truth or dare. You have to pick one.
That's a game for kids.
I know, but imagine if we were playing, which would you pick?
Uh… Mm… Truth.
-Okay. -No, no, no, uh, I'll do dare.
-Okay. -No, no, no, no, truth.
-Nati. -Sorry. Truth. For real.
-You sure? -Truth.
When you wrote that song, who were you thinking about?
You know who I was thinking about.
And you? Who do you think of when you hear it?
I think you already know who I always think about.
You guys wanna know who I think of? Even though no one asked me.
-Aw. -Aw.
You poor thing.
We should come up with two possible routines,
depending on where we are in the order.
The order will be drawn today.
We could set up one if you end up going before Natasha
and a different one if you go after her, based on what she scores.
Tony, I was just thinking that maybe
I should save my hardest trick for the very end of the routine.
What about the 720?
I think it's risky.
I'd only try it if Natasha's run is absolutely perfect.
We could try it right now.
The river's calm enough that the landing shouldn't be too dangerous.
Watch out! Watch out, Steffi!
What do you think?
Give it a try?
Okay.
Look.
Let's not force things. What's important is clearly visualizing your run.
We can head back now.
Let's go, Pedro.
Go ahead. I'll catch up with you.
So? Ready for the competition? How was your training session?
Honestly, being out there again, I got goose bumps.
-You're nervous? -Yeah, but not like other times before.
It was like my body clearly remembered the accident.
And now that I'm telling you, there's a knot in my stomach.
-I think I know how to help you. -How?
Let me talk to Tony first.
-Hey, good morning. -Hey, how are you?
If I knew you were coming, I'd have gotten you a better room.
-We thought the place was on fire. -What?
That kid, Noda, he told us there was a fire over here.
A fire? No, there wasn't!
But who is he?
His uncle got him the job.
Noda thinks he works for us, but his uncle pays his salary.
And the weirdest part is Ron Navarro told him to make all this stuff up.
Ron Navarro, the wakeboarder?
Yeah, he's staying here.
Ron Lavalle is Ron Navarro?
Of course! No wonder I recognized him.
Augusto, are you okay?
Yeah.
It's just this debt's been weighing on me.
-From the loan? -Hmm.
The first payment's due, and we don't have it.
We've come so far thanks to Luz.
She made all this happen.
You should be really proud of her.
You know Luz.
Luz is Luz.
Mm.
What's up with the mystery? Do you have any idea what's going on?
No, not a thing. I'm totally in the dark. I don't know anything.
-Hey! What's up? -Hello there.
Where are you two gentlemen taking us?
Um, you said that you needed some relaxation, right?
Honestly, that's exactly what I could use today.
Good. Consider it done, ladies. We're gonna camp overnight by the river.
Yeah. Julián and I talked it over,
and I really think it's a winning strategy.
Okay. Let's do it.
-Let's go. -Come on.
-After you. -Thank you.
So many of the comments are positive.
But I… I will admit I did see a few that didn't understand the sharks.
And some that didn't get the butterflies, but most are very positive.
It made a huge difference that the twins mentioned us on their account. Yeah.
Excellent work, you two. How's "Save Cielo"? Anything missing?
No, not really. I'm so close to being done with the sponsor page.
I'm planning to finish it up and post it tomorrow. Check it out.
Here it says how much money we've raised.
And there's the option to donate.
And it also explains exactly what the money is used for. It's all set.
I'm so excited.
Not as much as I am. This could be huge for us.
-Yeah. -If you need anything, let me know.
-Okay. -Okay, perfect. Let's go.
Ron!
Navarro or Lavalle?
Lavalle is on my mom's side, and Navarro is from my dad's side.
-What is this place? -Another one of my hiding spots.
Well, now that we're here, what's the plan?
I brought you here to this really special place
because I think it's the connection Steffi needs to give her all tomorrow.
So this is what you've been planning this whole time?
Do you hear that?
[frogs croaking
That's the sound of nature.
All right.
The idea is to let go of all your thoughts and leave your mind blank.
Now let's all close our eyes.
And take three very deep breaths.
Concentrate on the air we slowly inhale through the nose
and exhale through the mouth.
Let go. Release all your thoughts.
What are you thinking about?
I'm thinking of the accident again.
Every time I close my eyes,
I feel like I'm reliving the feelings from that moment all over again.
I just can't help it.
Yes, you can.
Go ahead and concentrate on your breathing… and my voice.
Close your eyes.
Just relax.
Let go of all those thoughts that hold you back.
Try not to focus on them or block them. Just… let them go.
Take them in and let them go.
Like the air.
That's it.
We've decided the order in which the participants will compete.
Whoo-hoo!
Male competitors. Rovegno, Bessi, Scandalori, Blasi, Ferreiro.
Let's go!
And our female competitors. Lambert, Velayos, Rossi, and Navarro.
All right. That's it. Tomorrow's gonna be great.
I wish you all a good night's rest.
And let the games begin!
And after the competition, make sure you warm up your vocal cords
because there's a party at Sky Vibes.
Where in the hell is Steffi?
Is she even planning on competing tomorrow, or what?
And now…
…whenever you're ready,
imagine your routine on the rapids,
but this time everything's going perfectly.
Imagine every movement,
every drop of water.
It's a calm, sunny day.
Focus on what it's really like to be out there,
in your breathing.
Now,
go ahead and start.
Now you're doing all your tricks perfectly.
That's it.
Perfect.
And finally,
you've finished your run without a hitch.
You did it.
-And? -So?
How do you feel?
Better than ever.
Thank you, Julián.
That's just what I needed right now.
I have to admit, at first, I wasn't convinced it would work at all.
Whenever I'm trying to clear my mind completely,
more and more thoughts always come rushing in.
But this time I was able to let go
of that uncontrollable anger I feel towards my dad.
I'm so glad.
Try to do this again
right before you start your run.
And you, Luz? How are you feeling?
Good.
To be honest, I'm still a little anxious.
And I'm worried about Charlie and Nati.
We left them alone to work on "Save Cielo."
No, no. Try not to worry about it.
They're setting up something amazing.
You'll see tomorrow.
Sometimes, it's good to delegate. You were doing so many things at once.
Well… I don't know about you guys,
but all that meditation made me really hungry.
-Should we make dinner? -Yeah, I'll help you.
Am I interrupting?
No, not at all. I was just contemplating the secrets of the universe.
Did you marry?
Yeah.
I'm a widower.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know, Ron.
Paula, Ian's mom,
she was very important to Steffi.
She convinced her to come here and look for the truth.
And when I found out Luz was your daughter,
I thought you had her after we were together.
I never imagined she could be my daughter.
I can't believe everything that's happened.
Whoo!
I never thought, when I got here,
that all of this beauty would be waiting for me.
You?
And me both, you know?
And don't remind me. You were terrible when we first arrived here.
That is true, but I got over it pretty quickly.
-Mm? -Mm.
Come on.
You know what?
I think deep down I always knew we were connected, Steffi and I.
Well, I think it makes perfect sense, then,
that we found each other here at Cielo too,
right?
Hmm.
The moon looks so pretty from here.
This is my favorite spot, you know? Sometimes I spend the night out here.
You know, I've never shown this to anyone.
It's my secret.
Thank you for everything you've done for me since I came out here.
Your meditations have been a huge help.
You seem to know how to get the best out of me.
It's my pleasure.
Now I feel more ready than ever for the competition.
And that is all thanks to you.
