Original subtitles

Let me help Ruby find her way back to herself please,

so we don't lose her forever.

Smiles, everyone.

Welcome. I'm your host, Elena Roarke.

I'm Sue Beck, the first Mrs. Gavin Beck.

Jenna Glazer-Beck, the second Mrs. Gavin Beck.

It's so nice to see that two ladies

who were married to the same man

can get along and be friends.

Well, friends might be pushing it.

We share a common goal.

- Speaking of, when do we get started? - Oh, soon.

Go ahead to my office, and I'll be right there.

Elena, this is MJ Akuda.

MJ, this is Elena Roarke.

Thank you so much for coming.

Being here where my mom passed,

I'm hoping I will feel her presence.

You will.

Ash will take you to get settled, and then we'll talk.

I have a lot to tell you about your mother, about Ruby.

Good morning, Mrs. Beck.

- You ready for your massage? - So ready.

Let me just say bye to my husband.

See you later, babe.

Have a great time, baby. Love you for life.

Let's do this.

Oh, Brooklyn, come in.

Sue and Jenna, meet my associate, Ruby.

Hi, please.

Thank you.

Does Gavin suspect anything?

For all he knows, you two are thousands of miles away,

and I'm getting a hot stone massage.

So...

Let's talk about what we're gonna do

to this son of a bitch.

Gavin and I met when we were 20.

He was so damn handsome.

Still is.

You have to understand, when Gavin looks at you,

he makes you feel like you're his whole world.

I didn't even know who I was yet,

so I just became Gavin's wife.

We had two children, a house, dog.

- What happened? - She did.

He started a health supplement company

and suddenly started spending more and more time at work,

and I started smelling the perfume.

My perfume.

I tried to talk to him, but he gaslit me.

He made me think I was crazy.

I finally had myself committed.

That must have been so painful.

It destroyed me.

But, I had already hired a private investigator.

And when I got out of treatment,

there were pictures waiting for me.

Of Gavin and his head of marketing.

You.

Unlike Sue,

I knew exactly who I was,

and Gavin played me like a fiddle.

He made me feel like I was the smartest person in the room.

He said my ambition was an aphrodisiac.

Oh, that's good.

Then we got married, and we threw ourselves

into growing this company.

Of course he started cheating.

And of course he lied about it.

I made that company.

And then one day at lunch,

he announced that he wanted to move forward without me,

both personally and professionally.

It's taken me years to recover.

And if I'm being honest,

I'm still recovering.

And I'm the naive sap who thought,

third time's a charm.

Don't blame yourself.

You didn't stand a chance against that charm,

not at your age.

He told me he'd been focusing on his company and his kids,

that he forgot how to live.

He said, I brought him back to life.

I know.

My father saw right through him,

but, I didn't listen.

But your father knew best.

Gavin's been cheating on me.

When I got suspicious...

Then the gaslighting began.

Then one day, I ran into Jen at the hair salon,

and we started talking.

And we called Sue and talked some more.

My dad died before I could tell him he was right.

I'm so sorry.

The three of us decided I should keep playing wifey,

bide my time.

We knew we had to do something to make it right.

So, ladies,

what can the Island do for you?

Our fantasy is to get revenge on our husband.

We want him to feel as awful as he's made us feel.

We want him to hurt.

You should know that revenge fantasies

don't always end well.

- Mm, we'll take our chances. - Very well.

What's in this box, is very powerful.

Together, you'll decide how to use it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have somewhere to be.

Ruby will show you to your suites.

And welcome to Fantasy Island.

Right this way, Mrs. Becks.

Okay.

MJ, welcome to my home.

It's paradise.

You already met Javier, and this is Segundo,

- the island's caretaker. - Hey.

Your eyes are just as your mother described,

chocolate derretido.

Right this way.

Why does this feel like an intervention?

What I'm about to tell you is going to be...

Quite shocking.

Javier and Segundo, they know Ruby,

so they can help me explain.

MJ, I flew your parents to the island.

A few days later, I took your dad home, alone.

It was one of the toughest flights of my life.

You mean, they knew her...

Past tense.

What did your father tell you about your mother's death?

He said there was a waterfall and dancing,

and that she got a tattoo, which is, like,

so hard to imagine.

Then the morning they were supposed to leave, she died.

That is not exactly what happened.

Although, she did get a tattoo.

Shall we?

Oh.

- I don't get it. - I think I do.

And I like it.

Let me see that.

Oh, my gosh.

A poppet is a sympathetic doll,

which means when it's married to a person...

Interesting choice of words.

That person will feel what the doll feels,

whether that be pleasure or pain,

emphasis on pain.

Well, it's time for Gavin to get married again.

- Mm-hmm. - Okay, so how do we do it?

Hey, here she is.

- How was your massage? - So, so good.

Oh.

Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, it was just work.

I told them not to bother me on vacation.

Oh, so I get you all to myself?

Yes, you do.

- Ow. - Oh, sorry.

There's a little spider, honey.

I'm gonna run to the little girl's room.

Hurry back, bunny rabbit.

I got it.

Give me, give me.

Okay, it says to put it in his pocket.

Okay.

Oh, and now what?

Now we are to join hands.

Okay.

Beginning, middle, and end, to our aim you bend.

His will is ours to rend, his soul to apprehend.

Come on.

How do we know if it worked?

Ow, my nuts!

It worked.

This is the best day of my life.

So you're saying my mom didn't die.

She is alive and well,

and 25 years old, and she lives on this island.

But she doesn't remember me, or my brothers, or my dad.

Oh, and after 50 years of marriage,

she is now in love with a woman.

Who is also a mermaid.

It's a lot, we know.

Your mother needs your help.

If she doesn't get her memories back,

she may choose to go away with Isla,

and we're gonna lose her.

My mama, who is dead,

always told me, if I meet a crazy person,

I should get to stepping.

Well, you all are crazy.

And here I go.

Oh, my...

Who are you?

This is MJ Akuda.

Well, MJ Akuda, you must be a special guest

if Elena invited you to her beach house.

I never even knew this place existed.

MJ recently lost her mother, and she's come to the island

to process her grief.

I was thinking the two of you

could spend some time together.

Of course, yes.

Oh, you came to the right place to heal.

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

A toast, to mini Gavin, taking one for the team.

To mini Gavin!

Oh, I need another hit of revenge endorphins.

It does suck, though.

What?

That we have to keep on hiding.

I want a front row seat to his suffering.

You're terrifying.

That might not be totally impossible.

- Oh? - This book is full of tricks.

I mean, look, acid, binding, bleeding.

Promising.

Oh, here it is, yes, eyes.

To prevent the enchanted person

from seeing particular objects or people,

rub the poppet's eyes with saliva

and say the following words.

Hm, okay.

Whoever you see, do not see me.

Whoever you see, do not see me.

That ought to do it.

Let the games begin.

My mom and dad sat us all down, and,

broke the news that she was sick.

It was the worst day of my life.

I'm so sorry.

I thought my parents were so in love all those years, but,

now I don't think I really knew her.

Well, no doubt she had her secrets.

We all do.

But I'm sure you knew her heart.

What about you, Ruby?

How long have you lived here?

Oh, well,

feels like my whole life,

like nothing ever existed before here.

Ruby?

Hola, Ruby.

Who is this?

MJ, meet Isla.

MJ lost her mom not too long ago.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, I missed you.

Can we talk?

Oh, yeah, sure.

I'll just see you later.

Um, thanks for telling me about your mama.

Ruby,

I want us to start our life together.

Why don't you?

I do.

Then say you'll come with me.

I will come with you.

Really?

Really.

Will I have, like, an actual tail?

Oh, you will be beautiful, even more beautiful

than you already are.

As soon as MJ's fantasy is complete,

- we'll go. - Ruby.

It won't be long, I promise.

Good evening. My name is Alyssa.

Can I start you off with some wine?

A chardonnay, please.

Alyssa, you look like you have a sophisticated palate.

Surprise me.

- Sophisticated palate. - Unbelievable.

Well, there is a smoky tequila I recommend.

Done.

Seriously?

- What? - You're with your wife.

Honey, we really have to work on this insecurity of yours.

It's embarrassing.

- What was that? - What was what?

Did you just kick me in the ass?

Honey, I'm all the way over here.

How could I kick you in the ass?

Oh, must just be that old glute injury of mine acting up.

Oh, yes, I have heard aches and pains increase with age.

- I have an idea. - Okay.

- You smell that? - Smell what?

It's Carnal Flower by Frédéric Malle.

It's Jenna's perfume.

I don't smell anything.

Maybe you're having a stroke.

My God, is it possible she's here?

Sweetie, she lives in New York.

You're acting really paranoid.

Oh, Alyssa, we're ready to order.

I'll have the fish.

It's probably just jet lag.

- Oh, I'll come back. - Great.

What's happening to me?

You are acting so dramatic tonight.

Whoa, oh.

Honey, that's... honey!

That's not appropriate.

I know that.

Ah, oh!

Something's really wrong with me.

I got to get out of here.

Sorry, guys.

Sorry.

Honey, where are you going?

You seem upset.

Of course I'm upset.

I just humiliated myself in there.

Honey, I'm worried about you.

Should I call the doctor?

Do you have the number of that place

that Sue went when she was having her troubles?

I'm gonna take a walk, clear my head.

Bye, sweetie.

Wow, you are pretty great at this gaslighting thing.

Well, she learned from a master.

Being mean is tiring.

We should give him a break for the night.

Well, excellent first effort, witches.

I met your new guest.

MJ?

Lovely young woman, yes.

She's Ruby's daughter, isn't she?

You're playing dirty.

I'm not playing.

This is Ruby's life.

I will get what I want.

If you do,

I will never forgive myself.

Double whiskey, neat.

Actually, make it a triple,

one for each wife.

Sounds like there is a story there, hm?

Two former, one current,

but I think they're all here,

messing with my mind.

I find a heartfelt apology

is always a good place to start.

Apologize?

No...

I'm gonna mess with them right back.

Sometimes things are bad,

and sometimes things are worse.

Better to stick with bad, hm?

Thanks, old man, but I got this.

Hey, babe.

Are you okay, babe?

You seemed so confused earlier.

You're right, I was.

But now, everything is crystal clear.

My mom loved the ocean.

Enough to dive in and live there forever?

Happens to be what I'm sitting here trying to figure out,

which, huh,

probably sounds strange.

I have heard stranger things recently.

And, no,

my mom knew how dangerous the ocean could be.

My brother almost drowned when he was eight.

That must have been terrifying.

Darren is his name, my brother.

Huh, what a nice name.

My other brother's name is Mac.

It's Mac, Darren, and MJ.

Hm.

Anyway, we were at the beach...

My dad Mel, my mom, and us kids...

And then a wave knocked Darren over.

He was so scrawny,

the ocean just sucked him right out.

My mom dove in,

almost drowned getting him back.

She must have been very brave.

I took her for granted.

There's so many things I wish I could have said to her,

you know?

Tell her now.

Mom,

wow, I really put you through it.

I thought you didn't understand me, but,

now I'm realizing you did,

even when I didn't understand myself.

I'm happy, Mom.

I got a job at a design firm,

and there's a guy.

You'd love him.

He's good, like dad.

You're doing great.

Don't stop.

Also, Mom...

I'm mad.

I'm mad at you for not letting me say goodbye,

and I really miss you.

There now,

she heard you.

I don't think so.

Excuse me.

Good book?

Mm-hmm.

It's been a weird vacation.

Has it?

But you're just, taking it all in stride.

Reminds me of how incredible you are for me.

You just used me twice in a sentence.

See, and that's what I love about you.

You don't let me get away with my usual BS.

No one's ever gotten me the way you do.

Look, we both know that I've

struggled with fidelity in the past,

but, I believe the right woman can change a man.

- Okay. - No, I mean it.

Brooklyn Savannah Beck, you are my forever.

You make me a better man,

and that's why

I want us to have a baby.

- Are you serious? - As a heart attack.

No more birth control.

Those are my Lexapro, but, I get the metaphor.

You want to start trying right away?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Guys, guys, it worked.

Our fantasy was a success.

Gavin's grown.

You should have heard the things he said.

Let me guess.

"The right woman changes a man."

Or was it, "No one's ever gotten me the way you do."

Okay, yes, but he means it.

He told me he wants to have a baby.

What? No, no, no, this is real.

I've always wanted kids, but,

I mean, we could never find the right time,

- and... - Brooklyn, sweetie,

there's something you should know.

Sit down, honey.

What?

When we were married, Gavin got a vasectomy.

He can't have any more kids.

I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

That son of a bitch!

Brooklyn!

- Uh-oh. - This is gonna be fun.

Brooklyn!

Brooklyn, open the door.

Help me.

We've all wanted to kill Gavin at some point in our life.

Open the door, Brooklyn.

Gavin destroyed my relationship with my father.

He lied to me.

He's made a fool of me for the last time.

Enough.

- Hi. - Morning.

I need you to tell Elena that she brought the wrong kid.

I doubt that.

I'm telling you, Darren could do this.

Mac could do this.

Seriously, if you could ask my mom, she'd tell you that.

I know what your mom thinks of you.

I have a daughter a little younger than you.

We talk.

Then you know if you'd asked her if I was the kid

to convince the 50 years younger version of her

not to become a mermaid, she would say...

Absolutely.

Know what your mom calls you?

A pain in the ass.

A stubborn pain in the ass.

She says it with pride.

My daughter, Helene, she's stubborn too.

And she's had to be.

Your mom needs you to be

a stubborn pain in the ass right now.

She needs you to fight for her.

- Why isn't she fighting? - She is.

This magic she's up against is powerful.

I just...

How am I supposed to compete with that?

The love you have for your mom,

that's its own kind of magic.

Ladies, your poppet privileges have been revoked.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Screw that stupid doll.

Gavin still doesn't get it. He'll never get it.

This whole thing is pointless.

Oh, all right then.

I guess we're done.

W-wait.

We asked for the wrong thing, didn't we?

We asked to make him hurt,

but that's not really what we want.

What do you want, really?

I want to make him hurt.

I want to be free of him.

I am tired of Gavin Beck defining me.

He's never gonna understand.

He's defective.

On this island, people's capabilities often evolve.

I believe we can channel your tears

to a more productive end.

Brooklyn, are you here?

Brooklyn.

Duerme.

What the hell is this?

The Throne of Tears.

Look, I don't know who you are,

but get me out of this thing.

You know, Dr. Beck, I try very hard

not to be judgmental.

But people like you who cause others pain

with zero consideration, who manipulate and lie

to those they say they love,

you make it very difficult.

Wah-wah, give me a break.

You'll find a break

is the last thing you're gonna get here.

I'm gonna sue your ass.

You're up, ladies.

What do we need to do?

Just tell him what he needs to hear.

Hi, I'm on my way to meet MJ.

- It's time, Ruby. - Time?

No, I'm not ready.

I'm afraid if we wait, you'll change your mind.

Hey, I told you.

Come with me now.

Be one of us.

Choose to be with me.

You have to say it, Ruby.

Say you choose.

Say, "I choose to be one of you."

I choose...

Mama, no!

Mama!

Let go!

- No! - Ahh!

Mama.

MJ!

Mama.

Mama, please don't leave me again.

MJ, my sweet girl.

You saved me.

You saved me.

Where did Dad go to college?

Morehouse, class of '69.

What's Darren's middle name?

Wilbur.

I don't know what we were thinking.

Uhm...

How many car accidents did I get into in high school?

Well, there's the two that I know about, and then,

the one that you think I don't know about.

I could never hide anything from you.

But you sure tried.

Oh, my girl,

you got through to me when no one else could.

Javier said, "Love is its own kind of magic."

Guess he was right.

This must be all so strange for you,

a magical island,

seeing me like this.

I'm kind of used to it.

It's actually pretty cool.

You just have the most incredible ability

to take people as they are.

I think we both know that's not always good.

Well, sometimes people disappoint.

Like me.

I know I disappointed you, Mom,

- and I am so sorry. - No...

I will not let you say you're sorry,

for being you.

Yes, you learned some things the hard way,

but you learned.

And now look at you.

You are my pride and joy.

Don't tell Darren and Mac I said that.

Promise.

I really miss you, Mama.

Baby...

I miss you every moment,

of every day.

And I wish I could be with you.

I understand that you can't.

And I am so happy that you get to live your life again

and be exactly who you are.

How did I bring such a spectacular light

in this world?

You just got lucky.

Come here.

You love this, don't you,

seeing me suffer?

I gave you the best years of my life.

I gave you children, a home.

You still don't get it, but you will.

I made you,

and you threw me out like a piece of trash.

Check your bank account, Jenna.

You were well compensated for your trouble.

What's wrong with you?

I chose you over my own father.

I should have been with him when he died.

I don't know what I ever even saw in you.

You stole my ability to trust anyone,

including myself.

You took advantage of my love.

I was so blinded by your lies,

I thought the bouquet of red flags you gave me were roses.

Why are you doing this?

Because you need to understand,

so we can move on.

Oh, it hurts so much.

It's the Throne of Tears, Gavin.

That's what you're being drenched in,

our tears, and the tears of all

the women who cried over you.

With every drop,

you feel the pain we felt when we cried them.

Oh, oh, it feels like there's acid in my chest.

Oh, I can't breathe, the pain.

This is what it's like, Gavin.

This is what it's like to love you.

I did this to you?

You did this to all of us.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Please...

Forgive me.

Please...

Please forgive me.

Please, forgive me.

Don't come near me.

Ruby.

I do not choose, to go with you.

- And I never will. - I do love you.

You don't even know me.

Mel,

my children,

my family and friends,

they are who I am,

and you erased them.

You would have been happy with us,

with me.

Not real happiness.

If you change your mind,

all you have to do is think of me.

I won't.

When you threw this into the ocean,

I was there.

I thought one day you might want it back.

My wedding ring.

Goodbye, Ruby.

Safe trip.

Good morning, Becks.

I hope you enjoyed your stay.

We absolutely did.

Some of us more than others.

I hated it,

but, I got what I needed, and deserved.

And what you deserve is what we all needed.

My father would be proud of me

for standing up for myself,

and letting go.

Whatever comes next,

it won't have anything to do with Gavin.

No offense, or offense, whichever.

What about you, Gavin?

I just know that I don't ever want to make

anyone else feel the way

that I've made Sue, Jenna, and Brooklyn feel.

Well, if you ever want to come back

to the island for a refresher,

just let me know.

That sounds so generous, but,

it feels like a threat.

- Safe travels. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- Hi. - Thank you,

for not giving up on my mom.

Never.

Thank you.

I love you, Mary Jane Akuda.

Don't you ever forget that.

I love you, Mama.

I think I've come to terms with my mom's death.

I'm not sure how, but,

a burden has been lifted.

I'm glad we could help.

Um...

Your mother wrote these while she was here,

one for each of her babies.

Oh...

I'll make sure my brothers get them.

Also, she wanted you to have this.

Her wedding ring.

I'll treasure it.

Thank you both, for everything.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Did I tell you my mom's name was Ruby?

You remind me of her.

Ruby.

It's your welcome back party, so...

Welcome back.

Oh, it is good to be back.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Salud.

Personally, I prefer you without fins.

Thank you, Segundo.

Miss Roarke, where do you want the music?

Oh.

MJ told me what you said,

about love being its own kind of magic.

Very wise.

So stop being dumb.

Even when you get to do it twice,

life is too short to waste time.

Excuse me.

- Elena... - I'm sorry.

You were right.

Everything you said was right.

I made a decision that we,

we should have made together,

Javier, so... - Elena...

And I am so sorry that I made you feel like a guest.

You know, I love my guests.

They're very important to me, but not like you.

Can I go now?

- Yes, yeah, go now. - Okay.

Elena, if we're gonna do this,

I need to know that when hard things come up,

which they will,

we'll handle them together.

Yeah, together, 100%.

Good.

Now, I kind of want to hear what you said the other night,

straight from you,

not just in my head.

Um... I want to rip your shirt off?

After that.

I love you.

Good...

Because I love you, Elena Roarke.

You should get that.

It's Helene.

Helene. Hey, kiddo.

Dadvier!

Oh, Elena.

Oh, I love the energy there.

God, I miss you.

I wish you were here. We're having a party for Ruby.

Mm, I heard about that.

Surprise!

You did this.

Go, silly, go.

- Welcome to the island. - Helene, Helene.

Okay, I got to breathe.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

Until recently,

I thought I had friends on Fantasy Island,

but I don't.

I have family.

Family are the people who fight for you,

even when you make mistakes,

who remind you of who you are,

when you forget,

who save you, when you need saving,

or even better,

give you,

what you need to save yourself.

To family.

To family.

To family.

Whoo, yes!

Eso, whoo!

Venga, venga!
