♪ ♪

Oh.

Hello. (Chuckles)

- Oh.
- Is that for both of us?

- No. That's my breakfast.
- Oh.

Okay, you know, people
used to eat like this.

I got my toast, my
butter, my whole milk,

scrambled eggs,
bacon, ham slice,

some hash browns, and
got a little oatmeal.

Well, then, um, bon appétit.



- Thank you.
- (chuckles)

Hey, uh, well, I tried
to call Mel, and...

And it didn't go through.

No, it wouldn't.

It's not up to me.
It's the island.

I'm sorry.

(scoffs) Okay, well, is
it, I mean, impossible?

Ruby, I-I wish I could.

- (helicopter rumbling overhead)
- Ruby, honestly,

I wish I could...

(upbeat music)

♪ ♪

Oh, I-I think it's landing.

Oh.



PERSON: Thank you for the ride!

Ah! (Laughs)

♪ ♪

Eileen Mitchell, I presume.

That was unexpected.

Yeah. I-I was so
excited to get here

that I just showed up two
hours early for the plane.

Oh.

And this big fellow
was just sitting there,

and so I whipped
out my credit card,

and here I am... paradise.

Now, where can I get a martini?

(humming happily)

Ooh.

EILEEN: I haven't been
in a helicopter since...

Oh, I don't know. It must
have been early '80s.

Oh, yeah, Annie Leibovitz.

She had me on a rooftop,
New York, in December.

I got pneumonia.
The client loved it.

Um, please have a
seat, Mrs. Mitchell.

I'm your host, Elena Roarke,
and this is my associate.

Yes. Hi. I'm Ruby.

Oh, it's just
lovely to meet you.

- Do you model?
- Huh?

I was a model. It's a
terrible job, though.

Not nearly as
glamorous as it seems.

And once you're a
woman of a certain age,

people don't want to
look at you anyway.

And then once you're a woman
of a certain certain age,

they simply don't
see you at all.

Well, um, that must be painful.

Well, I try not to dwell.

Regardless, it's Ms. Mitchell,

currently unattached, but
please call me Eileen.

(all chuckle)

Well, Eileen, what can
the island do for you?

Mmm! Oh, now, that's a martini.

(laughs)

(sighs) About a year ago,

my daughter Theodora
cut me out of her life.

And why did she do that?

Well, there may have
been a small incident.

I was watching my
grandson Frederich,

and after he was sound asleep,

I popped next door
for a little karaoke.

So you left your
sleeping grandson

at the house by himself?

Sound asleep, safe in his crib.

And that party
needed my attention,

far more than Fredrick did.

Well, my daughter... she
acted like I left the kid

at a bus station with
a "kidnap me" sign

around his neck.

ELENA: And you feel
like that was unfair?

I was young when I had Theo,

and I didn't want to
be one of those mothers

who was always away, and
so I took Theodora with me.

Ah, she was my best friend

my little backpack.

I gave her a childhood
of culture, adventure.

She speaks three
languages, you know.

- Great.
- But ever since she had Freddy,

I mean, she thinks

that every one of my
parenting choices was wrong,

and not just wrong... awful.

So your fantasy is?

My fantasy is simple.

I want to be with my daughter
and her family again.

I miss her. I miss them...
with my whole being.

Well, fantasies
are rarely simple,

but you're gonna be very happy
to know that I have arranged

for Theo, David, and
Freddy to be on the island.

They're here? Now?

Ah!

Why don't you go to your
room and freshen up?

Meet me at the
mangroves in an hour.

That's where your
fantasy will begin.

- Just like that?
- ELENA: Just like that.

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

Oh, thank you Elaine.

Ah, Elena.

No, it's Eileen. (Giggles)

Oh, I hope the island's
not too hard on her.

She just wants to
be with her family.

She does, but it's
also more than that.

In any case, she'll
get what she needs.

(upbeat music)

♪ ♪

(knock at door)

- May we come in?
- Oh, of course.

And excuse the mess.
I was just unpacking.

ELENA: Not at all,
Professor Wakefield.

(laughs) I'm your
host, Elena Roarke,

and this is my associate Ruby.

- Yes. Hi.
- (both chuckle)

Wow. Now, look at that.

My husband, he was... I mean, he
is an amateur astronomer, so...

Oh, then he'll be watching

the asteroid
tomorrow night, too.

Yes. Yeah, I'm...
I'm sure he will.

So, Professor Wakefield, what
can the island do for you?

As you know, I'm a scientist.

Yes, you're a
particle physicist.

Yes. I spent many
years on a team

searching for a
subatomic particle

known as the Higgs boson.

The God particle.

Mm, that's what the
media called it,

but I studied it a long time.

It's not God.

Okay, um, and that
disappointed you?

I was in second grade

when I first looked
into a microscope

and saw a cell from
the skin of an onion.

I was hooked.

I committed my life
to going deeper.

Everything in the universe is

explainable,

and I've come to find that

almost unbearable.

(dramatic music)

My fantasy is to
experience something

I can't explain through science,

to know with certainty

that there is something
greater out there.

That's a tall order,
but I absolutely believe

that we can help you.

Ms. Roarke, I should warn you,

I'm about as skeptical
as they come.

Ah, it's okay. I
can work with that.

- (laughs)
- Welcome to Fantasy Island.

And, Professor, do
try to have some fun.

(sighs)

(soft music)

(laughter, indistinct chatter)

♪ ♪

I can't believe they're here.
It's really them, right?

I mean, not... not actors
or androids or anything?

Well, I-I thought
about androids, yes,

but it turned out to be cheaper
to just spring for the airfare.

- Can I go to them?
- Yeah.

You can, but, Eileen,
a word of warning...

Oh, look how big he got.

He was a baby, and now
he looks like a boy.

♪ ♪

Theodora?

- (child babbles)
- Theodora, it's your mother.

THEODORA AND DAVID: Oh!

(laughs)

All right. I see how it is.

You know, I am not
going to make a scene.

I mean, I only
arranged this trip

so we could start
over as a family.

But if you honestly
think ignoring me

is the most mature
course of action here,

then who am I to challenge you?

(gasps)

It's way past lunch.
Let's head inside.

THEO: Okay.

All right, now, t-this
is cruel, Theodora.

I mean, am I honestly so awful
that you can't even look at me?

- FREDDY: Mama.
- Theodora?

Theodora, come back here!

What the hell is happening here?

My family is
completely ignoring me.

I mean, why did they come

if they didn't want
to see me, hmm?

- I tried to tell you, Eileen.
- Tell me what?

Would you mind getting
me my bookmark?

It's over there... little
table. You see the...

- Really?
- Yes, please.

In front of the mirror.
Thank you so much.

You know she
completely blanked me?

I mean, it was impressive.

Almost as if I were...

♪ ♪

Invisible.

There

now you get it.

♪ ♪

Whoa.

So you're the only one
who can see and hear me?

I can see you. Hi.

Oh, hello.

It is just so comforting to know

that two whole
people can see me.

So what now?

- Okay, and so she...
- Is invisible.

- Yeah.
- EILEEN: Yeah.

Apparently it's not enough
that I feel invisible.

Now I get to be
invisible as well.

Eileen, uh, you seem triggered.

Maybe this is something
we should examine?

- I don't want to examine it.
- Okay.

I want to turn things
around with Theodora,

and I can't do that,
if I can't talk to her.

I believe you spent time

at an ashram, right,
in Costa Rica?

What? Do you know
everything about me?

Yes, I did. It was
a long time ago.

And you had a guru over
there. Her name was Satnam.

What do you think she'll say
is the point of all of this?

- She never said anything.
- Hmm.

What?

I'm not supposed to talk?

- I'm just supposed to listen?
- Mm-hmm.

Oh, I'm sorry, Javier.
We have a guest.

What... what guest?

You know, I spent four hours at
the pickup point... no guest.

Did you even think of calling?

He's cute. Are you two an item?

- No.
- (scoffs) Okay.

I'm sorry. I should have called.

But our guest... she
chartered a helicopter

because she didn't want to wait.

Yeah, a-and to be fair,

I mean, we didn't even
know until she arrived.

Well, tell her she's
pretty damn inconsiderate.

Well, he's a bit huffy.

♪ ♪

Here I am, listening.
Listen, listen, listen.

THEO: (laughing) Okay.
Let's get the ball.

DAVID: All right. Throw it back.

(laughs)

This place reminds
me so much of Bali.

Did I ever tell you about
my three-legged monkey?

His name was...

- Khaki.
- Khaki.

- No.
- I did, too.

EILEEN: Oh, that poor animal...

He was a long-tail macaque,
and I was obsessed with him.

And Eileen was okay with that?

I'm not sure she even noticed.

Theodora, I chased down
that monkey so many times.

No, that's not fair.

She made him a collar and leash

out of an old watchband
and a silk belt,

and we used to say
that he was the most...

- BOTH: Stylish monkey in town.
- (laughs)

You miss her.

Of course I miss
her. She's my mom.

I miss you more, sweetheart.

DAVID: Look how freakin'
adorable this one is.

- THEO: Aw.
- DAVID: Huh?

I could, uh, send it to her.

No.

David

how many times have
we given her an inch

and watched her take ten miles?

(scoffs) I had more
than enough chaos

and abandonment growing up.

I don't want it
in Freddy's life.

Oh, honey.

That's your choice.

I set my boundaries with
my mom for a reason,

and, yes, it's sad,

but she left our baby alone

because she couldn't stand
not being center of attention

for five minutes.

She made her choice,

and I choose not to
keep allowing her

to wreak havoc in our lives.

(Freddy babbling excitedly)

(Theodora laughs)

FREDDY: Mommy.

Hey, babe.

ELENA: The club
sandwich is excellent

but unlikely to defy science.

CHARLES: Mm, to be honest,

I'm not expecting
anything to do that.

Can I ask, why did you come

if you believe your
fantasy's not possible?

I...

don't have a good
answer to that question.

Hope, perhaps?

The same thing that kept you
searching for the God particle

all those years.

Perhaps.

The difference is that
then you were searching,

and now you're just
eating a club sandwich.

I see your point.

You know, the south
end of the beach

is beautiful.

I'm actually going
there right now.

Enjoy your club
sandwich, Professor.

(indistinct chatter)

(upbeat music)

♪ ♪

Isn't it beautiful?

You should change the
name of this island

from Fantasy Island to
Nightmare Hellscape Island.

(chuckles) Is something wrong?

Oh, no, nothing's wrong.

I'm fine. I'm...

Beautiful weather,
family who hates me.

Do you know what she said?

- I...
- She said I wreak havoc.

Me!

What did I do to her, Elaine?

Elena.

She said that she had
to set up "boundaries"

because I take ten miles.

I gave Theodora a memorable,
meaningful childhood.

Screw her for not
appreciating it

and you for taking her side.

Come with me.

What the hell is this?

A gift.

You see your life with
Theo through your lens.

This is an opportunity to
see it the way she did.

The Golden Lotus?
Are we in Costa Rica?

I need you to lower
your voice, please.

This is a place of
silent contemplation.

- They can hear me?
- No, but I can.

EILEEN: This place touched
such a deep part of my soul.

It's one of the places you
felt comfortable leaving Theo.

She absolutely loved it here.

(sniffling, crying softly)

Did she?

(crying softly, sniffles)

That's Theo.

What's wrong with her, and
why isn't anyone helping?

Oh, Theodora.

(somber music)

If you don't see her
coming up the road by now,

she won't be back today.

THEO: Five more
minutes. Please, Satnam.

I'm sure your
mother's fine, Theo.

I know she's fine.

She's always fine.

It's just what if she
doesn't come back this time?

♪ ♪

Come on.

Gurmuk made chocolate cake.

♪ ♪

Theo, wait!

I had no idea you felt that way!

Please, honey, let me explain!

Theo!

She loved Costa Rica.

I don't even think she was there

to see me off when I left.

She was too cool
for me, even then.

Or maybe she couldn't bear
to watch you leave her again.

Like when you left her in
Amsterdam, Eileen, or in Bali

and at a convent
at the Pyrenees.

- I was making a living.
- So when Theo was crying

into Gurmuk's chocolate
cake, where were you?

I was on a spiritual quest.

You were in Peru
tripping on ayahuasca.

Oh, tomato, to-mah-to.

Eileen

your daughter was in pain
because of your choices.

You're either going
to acknowledge that,

or you're not.

I acknowledge that
you made your point.

I'm a terrible mother,

and she's better off without me.

I deserve to be invisible.

Got it.

Got it. Okay.

Ay, ay, ay. Dios
mío, esta señora.

Hi. Excuse me. Um, you
know Roarke's drink?

Single malt.

What are you hoping to
buy with that single malt?

A phone call.

It's just...

I miss my family, you know,

and I just... I don't think she
really understands how much.

(Latin music playing)

You know, in all the
years I've been here,

I've never flown her
anywhere, not one time.

She understands.

♪ ♪

Thanks, Javier.

Hi, could I get a...

EILEEN: Wait, I
know I'm invisible,

but what do I have to
do to get a drink here?

(groans)

Hi, there, Eileen.

Do you need anything?

A drink, but I can't seem to
get the bartender's attention,

what, with being
invisible and all.

(chuckles) Excuse me.

Can we get two
passionfruit daiquiris?

- But make one with a floater.
- I like you.

You know, you have a much
better sense of hospitality

than your boss.

Oh, I like to think that we, uh,

you know, complement
one another.

You know, it's not like
this invisibility thing

is a new feeling.

But this... I feel dead.

Yeah.

I know how you feel.

That's kind, sweetie,

but I have crow's
feet older than you.

(laughs)

Looks can be
deceiving around here.

I'm a permanent resident
of the island now,

but not too long ago, I was a

75-year-old Black woman

living in the
suburbs of Cincinnati

dying of cancer.

I mean, I know invisible.

Yes, you do.

Ah. Thank you.

Wow. (Chuckles)

Some island.

Yes. (Chuckles) Well,
I'll cheers to that.

(chuckles)

- You got kids?
- Mm, mm-hmm.

Three and six
grandkids, well, so far.

And do your children
blame you for everything?

Our youngest put us
through it, okay?

She went off to college

and picked up a whole
list of grievances.

You know, I mean,
I knew it was wrong

to leave my grandson alone
in the house that night,

but I couldn't bear
it a second longer.

I felt so old, irrelevant.

I felt...

Invisible?

Yeah.

And so I

followed the music,
just to be out,

just to be seen,

just to prove to myself
that I'm still here.

And now I've lost
my daughter forever.

Oh, well, look, you can't
change the past, right?

So, if you screwed up
then, be there for her now,

because when it comes
to being a parent,

I mean, you can't stop trying.

Even when your kid slams
the door in your face,

it's your job to keep knocking.

Did it work with your daughter?

(scoffs) A little too well.

She moved back home.

- Hmm.

She doesn't want to see me.

Therefore, I'm invisible.

can be explained somehow.

as someone who has suffered
from a lifelong inability

to surrender in any
way to irrationality.

It's Charles, and
you're correct.

Well, Charles, I'm a woman,
not a lab experiment,

and I want to show
you something.

Do you believe in fate, Charlie?

CHARLES: The universe
doesn't care what we believe.

things she thinks I am.

All due respect,
I barely know you.

Oh, I'll tell you
exactly what to say.

Maybe you were a
terrible mother.

- That's cruel.
- It's a logical supposition.

If she's not talking to
you, there must be a reason.

You sound like Roarke.
Everything is my fault.

You know, I'm beginning
to get the feeling

that you've been manipulating
me since the moment we met.

For a good reason.

In science, we
manipulate objects

to see how they will react
in different scenarios,

but I am not an object.

No, you're a

She hasn't.

to family.
