Presumed Dead In Paradise

All right, Madison. You ready for this?

Come on. You said you can do this.

If I don't pass this test, I'm gonna flunk Bio.

We need the key to her office.

The test is in there.

I said I can do this, not that I would.

Think of it as your initiation.

New school, new rules.

It's just about show time.

Okay, stay 10 feet ahead of me.

Stop and turn, then press down firmly.

Oh!

- Oh, my gosh! - Oh!

I'm so sorry.

Oh, watch out!

Here, clumsy.

Maybe you can catch better than you can walk.

Thank you, ladies. Thank you very much.

Sorry again, Miss Lindel.

Thank you.

Okay, hold still.

Got it.

This better work.

I don't wear Mary Janes.

Then after Aspen, we're gonna spend New Year

with my sister in the south of France.

That's cool.

Oh, it's gonna be hell.

One week with my God-awful family?

Family is the worst.

Yeah, the worst.

Well, at least I won't be spending my holiday with a tutor, thanks to you.

You should have seen Miss Lindels' face

when she handed me my test back.

98%.

Glad I could help.

How'd you learn how to do that stuff, anyway?

I had to irritate my stepmom somehow.

So what are you doing for the break?

Oh, I'm actually going to India.

Oh, that's nice.

Yeah. It's this whole thing.

We do it every year.

I gotta go, Maddy.

My mom's waiting for me downstairs.

See ya'.

Have a nice break!

Yeah?

Patricia.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I came to pick you up for break.

I thought I was spending break here at school.

You told me you made plans, remember?

Well, my plans were always to be with you.

But I wanted it to be a surprise, so surprise.

Really?

Yeah, really.

I didn't want you to spend the holidays alone again this year.

I know that we haven't spent much time together since your dad's accident.

Yeah, and whose fault is that?

You know what? I didn't come here to argue.

I think that we've both had enough of that.

I'd really like to have a truce.

Deal?

Deal.

So I've been thinking.

Your 18th birthday is coming up soon

and I thought that we should do something special for a change, just you and me.

What did you have in mind?

You remember that little island that we used to go to with your dad?

Saint Isabel?

A week in a tropical paradise, I just think it would do us

both a world of good.

Seriously?

I'm serious, Maddy.

Private beaches, spa days, yoga.

I haven't been to Saint Isabel in a long time.

Neither have I.

Dad: Madison.

Madison.

Patricia: Madison?

Madison?

Madison?

Madison.

Hey, you were talking in your sleep.

Oh, sorry.

Were you dreaming?

Yeah.

Dad.

I've had this one a million times before.

You look just like him, you know.

The same cheekbones.

So is there anything in particular

that you're looking forward to?

- The fish. - The fish.

Yeah. They have really good fish.

And there's also this pastry shop that Dad loved right by the water.

I forget the name exactly.

It was Fresbyteria-- something.

Anyway, Dad would always talk politics with the owner

and I'd go play soccer with his kid.

I know I've been tough to deal with lately.

Is that why you sent me away?

Because I was a troublemaker?

Is that what you really think?

Madison, I was so broken when your father died.

I didn't know how to be a mother to you.

So you just sent me away?

Well, at the time, I thought it was the best decision.

I'd never been a mother before.

I could barely stay afloat, let alone be a suitable parent.

The least I could do was provide you with the best education.

Are you okay?

Yeah, fine.

Just gonna run to the restroom real fast.

Oh, sorry.

No problem.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have initiated

our descent into the island of Saint Isabel.

Please ensure your seatbelt is securely fastened

and your seat back and tray tables are

in their full upright and locked position.

All right.

This should only take a sec.

Can I come with you?

I'm only gonna be a minute, I promise.

I'll be right back.

Story of my life.

I got 'em!

We're at the beach villa up the road.

We're here.

This is beautiful.

Go on in.

Are you glad to be back?

Yes. God, it's been years.

Saint Isabel reminds me so much of your dad.

Wow, this is nothing like the shack Dad used to own.

Yeah, well, I wanted it to be different

for our time together.

This is so cool.

You know what? I love room service.

I think we should order some and binge.

Really?

Anything you want, as much as you want.

Okay.

Thanks again for bringing me here, Patricia.

It's my pleasure, Madison.

Well, I really mean it.

Look, we've already been here a whole day.

And we haven't even had a fight yet.

That's true.

I'd say we're making progress.

Well, here's to our time together.

Patricia?

I'm starving. Let's get some breakfast.

Back in a few hours.

Check out these cool earrings.

Hmm. Well, so much for our time together.

Over here, Andres.

I'm open.

Goal!

Madison!

Madison!

Hi.

Do you speak any English?

No.

Do you have this in any other colors?

No, no...

I think I can help you.

Which color do you want?

Red.

Red?

Mm-hmm.

Perfect.

Oh, no, no, no. Please, let me.

Oh, thanks.

You don't have to do that.

Well, I don't usually. But it's my pleasure.

- Gracias. - Gracias.

Thanks again.

You're welcome.

- Bye. - Senor?

Oh, thank you.

De nada.

Hi. You want to join us?

- Ola! - Ola!

Come have a drink with us!

Tempting, but no thank you.

- Come on. - This is a nice bike.

What are you doing?

Maybe she's too good for you.

Maybe both of us will be too good for her.

Get your hands off of me!

Hey!

Leave her alone!

Let him go, please! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.
