Biography[]
Early life[]
Pedro started out as a young producer of musicals and founder of a musical theater workshop.
Meeting Cocó and starting Eleven O'Clock[]
In 1975, while Amelia, Franco and Paloma are planning to renew the local bar La Gruta and turn into a cafe-concert, Pedro casually passes by, having watched Amelia sing with Marco (who comes from the 1994 timeline and is wearing the bracelet that brought him to this one) "Summer Nights" from the musical Grease (which movie would later be released three years later), which he watched three times, and compliments her singing abilities, but advises her to sing a solo. However, Amelia tells him she would rather sing with someone as skilled as she is to stand out.
Later on, Pedro visits Amelia at her house and bestows upon her a watch with her name engraved on it, so that everytime it strikes eleven o'clock she would remember their project. Pedro explains his plans to create the first musical theater company ever to exist in the country and describes eleven o'clock as a number in which the main character has a revelation, something the audience has already known before, which is why Pedro specifically chose her, because Amelia's talent was a revelation to him. Amelia eagerly agrees to start the company and intends to go to Broadway in a year and send applications to potential schools, but Pedro tells her that it won't be necessary, since he got her an audition for Grease in the lead role of Sandy, scheduled for Saturday on New York. However, Amelia is initially unsure as she doesn't have enough money to pay the flight and doesn't want to let down Franco and Paloma on their grand-opening of La Gruta, but both Pedro and her grandmother Allegra, who offers to use her savings, persuade her to take on her opportunity.
Pedro arrives at the Sharps' house to pick up Amelia, where she says her goodbyes to her grandmother and her mother Lucía, with Allegra giving her a magazine of important women so she can entertain herself during the flight, among them the prestigious fashion designer Coco Chanel (the origin of her stage name "Cocó"), with a quote saying "Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable". Inspired by this, Amelia tells Pedro that she already thought of their company's name: Eleven O'Clock.
Dismissal and motives of revenge revealed[]
Cocó's dream of being an actress would come true years later, with Pedro as a mentor, partner and close friend throughout the entire journey. She even became famous through the lead role of Ellie in Freaky Friday, which further skyrocketed her career to international proportions. However, their journey together would eventually come to an end when Cocó became associated with Tomás Diz, thus leaving Pedro both out of the company and her life permanently. This has taken a toll on Pedro, who felt betrayed and hurt that Cocó would be capable of doing such thing to him and vowed revenge on her. The night after Freaky Friday premiered, Pedro hired a woman to sabotage the electrical wires (while wearing Cocó's watch, the one Pedro previously gave her as a gift to make it look like she was the culprit) and cause the fire that burnt the theater to the ground, which took the lives of Tomás and (allegedly) Marco. Two months after that, Pedro later took the care of the situation by promising the actress to give her a role, even though she was skeptical as she didn't want to get implicated in the scandal if the situation got out of control.
He also meets with Mike, and blackmails him into making him an associate producer for the Freaky Friday tour by threatening to turn in the VHS tapes that show Cocó supposedly causing the fire while wearing her watch. However, when Mike asks to see the tapes and Pedro tries to look for them, he finds out that they're missing (as Barbara, Tomás's daughter, previously stole them to clear her father's name after he was wrongly framed for the crime) and becomes agitated at their loss, to which Mike believes that said tapes didn't exist and deduces that Pedro was the one who caused the fire and wanted to pin the blame on Cocó. Enraged, Pedro admits to it, explaining how Cocó left him out Eleven O'Clock, a company they both founded together, and that he was the one who took her under his wing when she was a struggling actress, arguing that Cocó would've been nothing if it weren't for him. After hearing his motives, Mike, rather than turning Pedro in to the police (as he has no solid evidence), decides to just let everything as it is for the time being, that Tomás was responsible for the fire since he's already dead.
Reunion and plan to ruin Cocó[]
Twenty seven years later, Pedro returned to Buenos Aires and attended the Sharps' play Light Years at the re-opened theater. After the play ended, Pedro and Cocó met again, with Pedro expressing that it's been a long time since they last saw each other and congratulating her on her performance and everything she's done to rebuild the theater to its former glory. The next day, Pedro visits the Sharps to make them a tempting offer with Light Years: he wants the play to be promoted and presented in Spain. Cocó and Allegra are willing to accept, but Caterina firmly objects, because although Pedro only intends to expand the dance ensemble and add an original song that can be released as a single on musical platforms, his main condition is that the script, which Caterina based on Lucía's stories, be entirely changed, feeling that this is an offense to her grandmother's memory. Pedro leaves the three to think this offer through and let him know by the time they come to an agreement, while privately pressuring Cocó into convincing Caterina to accept his terms as the spain producers have tight schedules. Caterina finally agrees to take the offer, but as long as the script stays faithful to the source material. Cocó later tells Pedro that she feels like talking about their past (shown above), but Pedro falsely assures her that there are no hard feelings between them and is willing to start over.
Unbeknownst to Cocó, Pedro is putting in motion his plan to tarnish her reputation, also sabotaging Light Years at the same time, by framing her for the fire of the theater, still resentful and angered over how their partnership ended on a sour note, and refuses to let it go. He turns to Bárbara and makes a deal with her to team up together and gather the evidence of Cocó burning down the theater in return for exonerating Tomás. However, Bárbara doesn't have the VHS footage anymore as they were stolen from her prior to the theater's reopening, so Pedro tells her to recall who could've done that. Bárbara quickly deduces that Félix and Allegra were the last people who were present there, and that Félix was the one who stole the tapes. After Bárbara manages to enter Félix's house and steal them back narrowly avoiding to be noticed, Pedro plays the exact moment before the fire started and she watches it. Realizing that the watch matches the one she has in a picture of her cellphone, Bárbara is shocked that Cocó would something like that to her father, to which Pedro replies that Cocó is capable of going so far to get what she wants, but that her days as famous actress would be over soon enough. Pedro and Bárbara are one step ahead of denouncing Cocó, except that the watch is missing and without it they can't accuse her without proof. Bárbara doesn't think that it's important as there could be a million watches similar to that one, but Pedro insists that it is the only watch to exist (as he made it especially for Cocó) and orders Bárbara to find it as soon as possible. Allegra is skeptical to believe that Cocó burnt the theater and keeps the watch in her possession, but when Caterina quits from Light Years after learning that Cocó broke her promise to not allow the script to be changed, Allegra also quits out of loyalty to her mom and decides to hand the watch over to Bárbara, telling her to do whatever she thinks is right.
Having acquired what he needed, Pedro anonymously leaks the accusations against Cocó to the media, resulting in journalists barging in to ask her about the fire and confirm if the accusations are true. Caterina and Allegra also turn on Cocó and kick her out of their house, thinking they can{t trust her anymore. Police later escort her to the station to make a statement. The whole scandal consequently causes the theater to close down and the play Light Years to be unceremoniously cancelled for the time being. Despite Bárbara helping Pedro, it turns out that he never upheld his end of the bargain to exonerate Tomás and it becomes obvious that he was just using her to get to Cocó.
Arrest[]
While all of this happened, Marco was transported to 1994, where two months have passed since the theater incident and his alleged death. He lands on his house, where all of his friends are gathered at his house to pay their respects to him. He sees Mike talking on the phone with Pedro, and follows him to the then-shut down and burnt theater. He overhears Mike and Pedro's argument, especially the latter's culpability in the theater's destruction and his angry rant about being left out of Eleven O'Clock; Marco records the entire confession before returning to 2021 and showing it to Allegra, who in turn shows it to Cocó and Caterina. Allegra and Caterina finally realize that Cocó was telling the truth all along about her innocence and apologize for having doubted her. Just as Pedro meets with the spain producers and laments on having wasted their time, he is suddenly approached by Allegra and Cocó, who calls him out for having attempted to frame her. As he reluctantly accepts defeat and is arrested by the police, Pedro emphasizes his actions by reminding Cocó that "the ending justifies the means", which is something he learned from her. Pedro is last seen walking away with the officers as Cocó sarcastically tells him that it has been a pleasure working with him. Despite being told that they can't present Light Years since the theater is still closed down, this is eventually proven wrong as the Sharps, with the help of Franco and Marco, choose the building that Franco wanted to buy years before (and turn into a cultural space, which was never realized) as the the ideal place, thus earning them the crowd's praise and respect.
