PREVIOUSLY ON
"BEFORE THE 90 DAYS"...
WELL, HEY.
A CON ARTIST
IS A CON ARTIST.
YOU GOT TO BE REAL
WITH YOURSELF, MAN.
PEOPLE THINK HAZEL'S JUST
A GIRL FROM A POOR COUNTRY,
TAKING ME FOR A RIDE.
I'M LOOKING FOR HIM,
AND HE'S NOT THERE.
YEAH.
IS SHE PLAYING GAMES WITH ME?
I'M JUST GONNA GO.
I NEVER SAID
THAT YOU CHEATED.
I'M NOT BEING
INCRIMINATED AGAINST
BECAUSE YOU WANT ME
TO SAY CERTAIN THINGS
THAT YOU'RE THINKING
IN YOUR HEAD!
AND COMING UP...
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY BABY.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME
WITH A BABY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE I'M DOING.
HEY, GUYS.
IT IS...
ANIKO AND ASPEN
ARE HERE.
I HOPE IT'S REALLY HER.
IT'S GONNA BE UP
IF IT'S NOT.
I NEED CONCRETE PROOF
THAT KARINE HAS BEEN FAITHFUL
TO ME.
CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
TODAY'S MY FIRST DAY
IN MEDELLíN, COLOMBIA.
TRAVEL ALL THE WAY FROM OHIO
TO MEET MELISSA,
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.
MET HER ONLINE ON A DATING APP.
EVEN THOUGH WE'VE JUST
BEEN TEXTING ONLY,
I'M DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH HER.
I WANT HER TO BE MY WIFE.
THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG.
I RESERVED A 7:00 TABLE, BUT...
IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS ALREADY,
AND STILL NO MELISSA.
MY CUTOFF NOW IS SOMEWHERE
IN BETWEEN 9:00 AND 9:15.
SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THERE,
I'M GONNA STAND UP
AND SAY I'M GONNA GO.
I REALLY FEEL AS IF
SHE'S JUST PLAYING GAMES
BECAUSE 7:30, THEN IT'S 8:30.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THAT'S LIKE A TELLTALE SIGN
OF HOW MUCH SOMEBODY
HAS RESPECT FOR YOU.
IT'S LIKE NOTHING HERE.
SHE NEEDS TO SHOW UP.
SHE HAS TO SHOW UP.
I JUST TRAVELED ALL THIS WAY,
AND IT CAN'T BE FOR NOTHING.
POTENTIALLY
IF SHE GETS HERE AT 10:00,
AND SHE CAN BE LIKE,
"HEY, WHERE YOU AT?"
AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME.
I DON'T KNOW.
SHE SENT A PICTURE
OF HER INSIDE A TAXI
ON THE WAY OVER HERE.
SHE'S ON HER WAY.
SHE'S COMING.
MY HEART'S GONNA GO...
IT'S STARTING TO FEEL
SUPER REAL.
THIS IS CRAZY.
OH, MY GOD.
SHE JUST TOOK THE PICTURE
OF THE TAXI,
NOT OF HERSELF.
WHICH IS KIND OF WEIRD.
I DON'T KNOW.
I MAY BE THINKING
TOO DEEP INTO IT.
MAYBE, BUT...
WHO KNOWS?
SHE'S ON HER WAY.
WHEW.
WHEN I MEET HER,
I HOPE IT'S REALLY HER.
SERIOUSLY, LIKE,
IT'S GONNA BE UP
IF IT'S NOT.
OH, SHE'S HERE, SHE'S HERE.
WHEW.
GET YOUR GAME, MATE,
GET YOUR GAME PLAN.
AH.
I REALLY HOPE
WHEN I MEET MELISSA TONIGHT
THAT SHE'S REAL,
THE CHEMISTRY IS THERE.
AND IT WAS ALL WELL-WORTH IT.
IT'S A LITTLE COLD.
I JUST ARRIVED
IN LONDON, ENGLAND,
AFTER A 12-HOUR FLIGHT
FROM ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO.
OH.
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE
I MET MY BOYFRIEND, JON,
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
AND I INTRODUCED HIM TO
MY 8-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER, LUCY.
DON'T GET RUN OVER,
JUST IN CASE.
WE GOT TO
"LOOK BOTH WAYS."
OKAY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
I AM ACTUALLY IN ENGLAND
AND JON IS IN FRONT OF ME.
FISH AND CHIPS.
EVERYTHING JUST LOOKS LIKE
IT JUST HAS SO MUCH HISTORY.
IT'S KIND OF ROMANTIC
THAT HE LIVES IN ENGLAND.
AND THAT ACCENT IS KILLER.
HE COULD READ ME THE DICTIONARY,
AND I'D LISTEN TO EVERY WORD.
- AWW.
- WHAT?
IT'S SO ENGLISH.
SHE'S...
SHE LOOKS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
FROM GIRLFRIENDS
I'VE HAD IN THE PAST.
BUT BOTH OF US ARE HAPPY.
OH, I HAVE TO GET A MAGNET
BEFORE I LEAVE.
YEAH.
YEAH.
YEAH.
WESTON-SUPER-MARE
IS A SEASIDE TOWN.
I'VE LIVED THERE ALL MY LIFE.
WE'RE HEADED THERE NOW,
AND WE'RE GONNA SPEND
THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THERE
TOGETHER.
IT'S SO WEIRD GETTING IN
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CAR.
WELL, THERE'S SO MUCH ABOUT
BABIES I HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT.
WHY'S SHE FACING
THAT WAY?
BECAUSE THAT'S LEGALLY
HOW SHE HAS TO FACE.
NOT FOR THIS TOWN.
OKAY.
IT'S A LOT MORE COMPLICATED
THAN I THOUGHT.
OH, MY GOSH.
WE'RE TOGETHER.
YEAH.
THIS IS IT.
THIS IS WHAT I LOOK LIKE.
I KNOW.
AND I'M A LITTLE
MAD AT YOU FOR THAT.
JON IS VERY RUGGED.
HE'S VERY, VERY CUTE.
SO IT'S VERY EASY
TO FEEL INSECURE.
I JUST LOOK
BEAT UP RIGHT NOW.
OH, THANKS.
WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF CHEMISTRY.
IT'S A LOT.
AND I JUST THINK,
YEAH.
I THINK IT'S LIKE ON
OR IT'S OFF.
IT'S DEFINITELY ON.
THE CHEMISTRY.
YEAH.
YEAH, YOU DID.
SHE'S REAL.
I WANT TO BE JON'S FUTURE WIFE
AND HAVE HIM BE
A FATHER TO LUCY.
BUT JON HAS NO IDEA
WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE AROUND A BABY 24/7.
HE COULD BE IN
FOR A RUDE AWAKENING.
I THINK SHE DOES
RECOGNIZE WHO YOU ARE.
SHE JUST DIDN'T KNOW
HOW YOU GOT OUT OF THAT PHONE.
WELL,
I'M GLAD.
LUCY DOES NOT HAVE
A BIOLOGICAL FATHER IN HER LIFE,
AND IT MAKES ME VERY SAD.
I WANT HIM TO BE
THAT FATHER FIGURE,
BUT I HOPE I HAVEN'T BUILT UP
AN IDEAL EXPECTATION OF JON.
I JUST LANDED IN NIGERIA,
AND I'M ABOUT TO MEET MICHAEL
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
MICHAEL AND I MET ONLINE.
EVENTUALLY, WE FELL IN LOVE,
BUT WE'VE NEVER MET EACH OTHER.
PEOPLE THINK HE'S SCAMMING ME
BECAUSE I'M 52, HE'S 30.
BUT I KNOW HE'S IN MY HEART
AND I KNOW HE'S THE ONE.
THIS TRIP IS MAKE OR BREAK.
I PUT SO MUCH MONEY IN IT,
SO MUCH TIME,
SO MUCH HEART.
I'M READY TO GO SEE
IF IT'S GONNA MAKE IT.
I'M GOING TO PICK UP MY BABY,
ANGELA.
WHEN I FIRST SEE MICHAEL,
I'M GONNA BE A NERVOUS WRECK.
I TELL MICHAEL, I SAY, YOU KNOW,
"THAT FIRST KISS, I'LL KNOW
IF YOU LOVE ME OR NOT."
HE'S LIKE, "HOW YOU GONNA TELL?"
I SAID, "I'M 50 YEARS OLD.
I WILL KNOW."
I MIGHT KISS HER OR HUG HER,
OR I MEAN, IT'S GONNA
COME NATURALLY, YOU KNOW?
WHERE IS...
THIS WAY?
I'M AT THE AIRPORT.
I'M SO NERVOUS.
WHERE IS...
THIS WAY?
AH!
AH!
WHOO!
YOU'RE NOT SHORT.
YOU'RE NOT SHORT.
I WAS LIKE...
WHEN I FIRST SAW MICHAEL,
I COULDN'T HOLD MYSELF BACK.
I JUST
HAD TO RUN TO HIM
BECAUSE THAT'S MY SEXY NIGERIAN,
BABY, HA HA!
GOT MY BUBBA KIKI!
I WASN'T PLANNING... I WASN'T
PLANNING ON KISSING HIM.
IT JUST CAME FROM THE HEART,
AND THAT'S IT.
AND...
SEE?
OH, GOD.
SORRY.
NO, NO, I'M JUST KIDDING.
I LIKE IT.
DO YOU LIKE IT?
MICHAEL,
MICHAEL, MICHAEL.
YEAH, YEAH.
MAYBE?
BUT, I MEAN, I'M HAPPY.
I'M OVERWHELMED.
LET'S GO,
LET'S GO.
I JUST
FEEL GREAT NOW.
I'M WITH MICHAEL,
SO, I MEAN, I'M HAPPY.
YOU HAPPY?
YEAH, OF COURSE.
I'M HERE, I AM.
OH!
NO, I DON'T WANT
TO SLEEP.
WHY?
WHY WON'T YOU SLEEP?
HOLD ON, MICHAEL.
OKAY,
NEVER MIND, COME ON.
THIS TRIP WILL SHOW ME
IF MICHAEL AND ME WILL MAKE IT.
FOR REAL, LIKE,
IF I DON'T FEEL IT,
IF I FEEL HE'S NOT LOVING ME
THE WAY I THINK HE'S LOVING ME,
IT'S OFF.
THAT QUICK.
IT'S MY FIRST DAY
BACK IN BRAZIL WITH KARINE,
AND THINGS ARE JUST
NOT GOING WELL.
SINCE ME AND KARINE
HAVE BEEN APART,
SOME BIG TRUST ISSUES
HAVE DEVELOPED
IN OUR RELATIONSHIP.
SHE'S BEEN TALKING TO OTHER
AMERICAN MEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
SHE'S BEING
WHAT I CONSIDER FLIRTATIOUS.
SO I CONFRONTED KARINE
ABOUT MY CONCERNS,
AND SHE JUST BRUSHES IT OFF
AND JUST SAYS, "WE'RE JUST
FRIENDS, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT."
WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?
NO,
WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I HAVE
A LOT OF CONCERNS
WITH ALL THE THINGS
I'VE SEEN ONLINE.
SEEING MY FIANCéE
FLIRT ONLINE WITH OTHER MEN
DEFINITELY MAKES ME FEEL
VERY UNCOMFORTABLE,
AND RAISES A LOT OF RED FLAGS.
I'VE LOST A LOT OF SLEEP
OVER THINKING ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT
SHE'S CHEATING ON ME OR NOT.
MADE ME A LITTLE PARANOID,
IN SOME WAYS.
SHE'S NOT GONNA
TAKE THIS WELL AT ALL.
BUT...
SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING
THAT I'VE HAD SEX
WITH OTHER MEN?
WHY DO NOT YOU TRUST ME?
I'VE BEEN AWAY
FOR FIVE MONTHS.
I KNOW IT'S MY CONCERN,
MY PROBLEM, NOT YOURS.
WILL YOU PLEASE
TAKE THIS TEST
TO SETTLE ANY AND ALL DOUBTS
ONE LAST TIME?
OKAY,
I'M GOING TO DO THIS TEST.
I MEAN, I REALLY LOVE HER,
AND IF SHE IS PREGNANT
WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD,
I DON'T KNOW
HOW I'M GONNA REACT.
OH, THIS IS REALLY AWKWARD.
I'M SORRY.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
THERE'S A REALLY
LIGHT THING THERE.
NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.
NO, NO.
I'M NOT PREGNANT.
I'M VERY SORRY
FOR ALL THE MISTRUST.
I'M REALLY GONNA TRY
TO START TRUSTING YOU MORE.
AFTER BEING CHEATED ON
SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST,
IT SCARS YOU.
IT DEFINITELY SCARS YOU.
I STILL HAVE DIFFERENT LINGERING
DOUBTS THERE FESTERING,
BUT I'M REALLY
HOPING AND PRAYING
THAT MAYBE I'M JUST
BEING PARANOID.
KARINE'S PARENTS
ARE TRAVELING TOMORROW
TO GO THROUGH THE DETAILS
OF MY CRIMINAL RECORD,
SO THERE'S STILL A LOT OF
OBSTACLES WE NEED TO OVERCOME
ON THIS TRIP.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
BEING A DAD AT 24?
I DON'T WANT DARCY
TO HAVE SO MANY EXPECTATIONS.
HEADED OVER TOKYO.
I'M FLYING TO MANILA
IN THE PHILIPPINES
TO MEET THE WOMAN
WHO IS MY SOULMATE
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
I'VE GOT
FIVE CONNECTING FLIGHTS.
IT'S GONNA TAKE ME
TWO DAYS TO GET THERE,
BUT SHE'S WORTH ALL THE TROUBLE.
HER NAME IS HAZEL.
I MET HER ONLINE
JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.
SHE'S 25.
REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
SHE LOOKS LIKE AN ASIAN VERSION
OF ANGELINA JOLIE.
SHE'S JUST SO KIND.
I'VE NEVER FELT THIS WAY
ABOUT ANYONE, EVER,
IN MY LIFE.
THIS IS WHAT CRAZY MEN DO.
I GOT TO CATCH THIS FLIGHT.
THIS IS COSTING ME
A PRETTY PENNY,
AND IT'S THE FURTHEST
I'VE EVER BEEN FROM HOME
AND THE LONGEST I'VE EVER
BEEN AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER.
I'M PUTTING SO MUCH ON THE LINE
FOR A WOMAN
WHO I'VE NEVER MET BEFORE.
BEFORE I LEFT THE U.S.,
HAZEL WAS ACTING A LITTLE WEIRD.
SO, UNFORTUNATELY,
MY BROTHER THINKS
HAZEL IS JUST USING ME.
SHE'S GOT
VERY GOOD GAME.
A CON ARTIST
IS A CON ARTIST.
YOU GOT TO BE REAL
WITH YOURSELF, MAN.
I REALLY HOPE THAT I'M NOT
JUST ONE OF MANY SUCKERS
THAT SHE'S BEEN TALKING TO.
MY FINAL CONNECTION
IS IN BANGKOK, THAILAND.
I MET MY EX HERE.
WE DATED FOR A WHILE,
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
IT'S A LITTLE WEIRD TO BE BACK
BUT UNDER
DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES.
MY SEAT'S NOT CONFIRMED
TO THE PHILIPPINES.
I'VE GOT TO BUY A NEW TICKET,
AND I'M GONNA BE STUCK HERE
FOR AROUND 11 HOURS.
I'M JUST WAITING AT
THE AIRPORT TERMINAL.
NERVOUS,
STOMACH KIND OF TURNING.
AND RUSHING TO
THE VERY LAST FLIGHT.
JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER.
I KNOW IT WILL BE ALL WORTH IT.
AFTER TWO DAYS OF TRAVELING,
I'VE FINALLY MADE IT
TO MANILA TO MEET HAZEL
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
I THINK HAZEL WOULD MAKE
A GOOD WIFE AND STEPMOM.
SO THIS COULD BE THE MOMENT
THAT CHANGES MY LIFE,
LIKE FOREVER.
THIS IS THE MOMENT OF TRUTH.
I HOPE SHE'S ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS GATE.
IF SHE'S NOT, I'M GONNA SCREAM.
I'M GOING FOR IT.
I AM HAZEL.
I AM 25 YEARS OLD.
I AM LIVING IN MANILA,
PHILIPPINES.
I MET TARIK ONLINE.
WHEN I FIRST SAW HIS PICTURE,
I THOUGHT HE WAS HANDSOME.
AND I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS
ALL MY LIFE.
I HAVE A SON.
HE'S 6 YEARS OLD,
AND HE LIVES WITH HIS FATHER
BECAUSE I HAVE NO MONEY.
TARIK, HE'S COMING HERE NOW,
SO I HOPE IT WILL BE
WORK OUT WITH HIM.
LET ME SEE.
HIS STORY IS SUSPICIOUS.
I AM WORRIED IF TARIK
CHOOSE HIS EX OVER ME.
SO I HOPE HE IS
SERIOUS ABOUT ME.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL, BABY.
JESSE ARRIVED
IN AMERICA YESTERDAY
AFTER SIX MONTHS OF BEING APART.
IT FEELS GOOD, IT FEELS LIKE
WE'RE BACK HOME AGAIN,
LIKE TOGETHER AS ONE.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
WHERE DO YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE AT?
LIKE IT'S SO DIFFERENT
FROM THE CITY.
JESSE'S GONNA MEET
THE GIRLS TOMORROW.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
MOMENTS OF MY LIFE.
I WANT TO SEE HIM
EMBRACE THE KIDS
SO I KNOW WE CAN
PLAN FOR OUR FUTURE.
WOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT
BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUND.
BEING IN A LONG-DISTANCE
RELATIONSHIP AGAIN,
IT'S BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT.
OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS,
WE MAKE UP AND BREAK UP
ALMOST EVERY DAY.
IT'S AMAZING.
DESPITE THE FIGHTING
AND DISAGREEMENTS,
DEEP DOWN INSIDE,
I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE
A DEEP CONNECTION
THAT IS UNBREAKABLE.
IT'S CUTE,
LIKE WALKING DOWN THE AISLE.
KEPT SEEING MARRIED COUPLES,
AND THEY WERE PLAYING,
LIKE, A WEDDING MARCH.
IT'S CONFIRMATION FOR ME
FROM THE UNIVERSE
THAT WE'RE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER.
SO WE GONNA KISS ON THE BRIDGE
LIKE IN AMSTERDAM?
DARCEY AND I HAVE
ONE MORE DAY IN NEW YORK...
MY PURSE.
AFTER ALL THE DRAMA,
I'M NERVOUS ABOUT
MEETING HER KIDS.
I LOVE HER, BUT...
AND THAT MAKES ME DOUBT THE
ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP SOMETIMES.
THIS IS NICE.
I KNOW.
YEP, WE CAN FINALLY
HAVE THAT MOMENT
THAT WE'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT.
IT'S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL,
I'M SURE.
I FEEL NOW IS THE TIME
FOR THEM TO MEET YOU.
I THINK IT WOULD BE
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY,
BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY
NOT WANT
MY DAUGHTERS TO SEE US
GET IN ANY SORT OF ARGUMENT
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
YEAH, FOR ME, I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT THAT A LOT,
AND I WILL NEVER,
LIKE...
YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THEM
TO EXPERIENCE ONCE AGAIN
WHAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH
YOUR EX-HUSBAND AND YOURSELF.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
BEING, LIKE,
A POSSIBLE DAD AT 24?
LIKE BEING THEIR STEPDAD?
IT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE...
NEED TO...
APPROACH DELICATELY.
AND FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP,
SO I HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS
OF EVERY STEP I TAKE.
IF IT FEELS RIGHT...
FOR AT LEAST
AN INTRODUCTION IN PERSON,
AND SEE WHERE
IT GOES FROM THERE.
DARCEY IS 43,
BUT I AM ONLY 24 YEARS OLD.
AND I AM NOT SURE
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.
I DON'T WANT DARCEY TO HAVE
SO MANY EXPECTATIONS.
ONE BED, PLEASE.
THE ONLY PROBLEM I GOT
IS YOU'RE STILL DRESSED,
MICHAEL.
SHE COULD BE
A REALLY BAD PERSON.
NOT REALLY LOOKING FORWARD
TO THIS AT ALL.
HELLO.
HELLO.
I'VE JUST LANDED IN NIGERIA
TO MEET MY BOYFRIEND, MICHAEL,
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I'VE HAD LOVE BEFORE,
BUT WHEN YOU'RE APPRECIATED
IN LOVE, IT'S DIFFERENT.
I THINK MICHAEL APPRECIATES ME.
IT'S A DIFFERENT FEELING.
BABY, STOP.
STOP.
THE WAY
THE AMERICAN WOMEN BEHAVE,
IT'S QUITE DIFFERENT
FROM HERE IN NIGERIA.
THESE ARE WHAT, BABY?
WHAT ARE THEY CALLED?
HOOKERS?!
H-A-W-K-E-R.
IT SOUNDS LIKE "HOOKER"
IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
IN AMERICA, THAT'S LIKE
THEIR STREETWALKERS.
NO, NO, NO.
SO THEY'RE HAWKERS.
I'VE NEVER BEEN NOWHERE
OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES.
SO I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED...
HOW I'M GONNA...
CAN I BE MYSELF,
CAN I NOT BE MYSELF IN PUBLIC?
I DON'T KNOW THE RULES.
THIS IS IT?
I THINK SO.
THIS TRIP'S VERY EXPENSIVE.
I'M SPENDING EVERYTHING I HAVE.
EVEN THOUGH
MICHAEL LIVES WITH HIS MOM,
WE'RE STAYING AT A HOTEL.
HE OFFERED TO GO TO HIS MOM'S,
BUT HER BEING A CHRISTIAN WOMAN
LIKE I KNOW SHE IS,
I WOULD FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
I'M TOO HONEST.
ONE BED, PLEASE.
OKAY, NO PROBLEM.
WELCOME,
YOU HAVE A NICE DAY.
THANK YOU.
BEING WITH ANGELA FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN REAL LIFE.
OH, IT'S SO PRETTY,
ISN'T IT?
OH, IT FEELS SO GOOD
IN HERE, MICHAEL.
STOP.
I GOT
SOME SURPRISES FOR YA.
OH, REALLY?
YEAH.
YEP.
WOW.
OH, MICHAEL,
YOU LOOK GOOD IN HATS.
NO, I WANT YOU
TO TRY IT ON.
WAIT, FIX IT.
BUSINESS PARTNER?
YES.
YO,
CHECK ME OUT.
OH, I LOVE THAT ON YOU,
MICHAEL.
DONALD TRUMP
MAKE AMERICAN GREAT.
I LOVE THE WORDS.
I LOVE IT.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
DO YOU LOVE IT OR WHAT?
IT'LL FIT
'CAUSE THIS IS THICK.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
NO.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
LET ME SEE
WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.
OKAY, THAT'S IT.
BEING WITH HER,
I MEAN,
IT'S A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
DO YOU WANT HELP?
I MEAN, SHE'S SO JOYOUS,
SHE'S HAPPY.
WHAT?
MY BABY.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
WOULDN'T YOU BE NERVOUS
BEING NAKED
WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE
AND YOU NEVER TOUCHED?
BUT I AIN'T BEEN
WITH A MAN IN A YEAR.
HE'S IN TROUBLE.
HE'S IN BIG TROUBLE.
YOU SEE,
COME.
LET'S GO.
I'M VERY COMFORTABLE WITH HIM,
BUT I THINK MICHAEL'S
A LITTLE BIT
MORE SHY AND RESERVED THAN ME.
I HOPE I'M PRETTY ENOUGH FOR HIM
AND HOPE HE LIKES WHAT HE SEES.
SO, I DUNNO, WE'LL SEE.
A FEW HOURS AGO,
I MET MY BOYFRIEND
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
WE'VE BEEN DRIVING
FOR THE LAST THREE HOURS
TO HIS HOUSE,
WHERE HE LIVES WITH HIS MOM.
ARE YOU EXCITED
ABOUT SEEING MY MUM?
MEETING YOUR MOTHER.
I JUST WISH THAT I COULD SLEEP
FOR EIGHT HOURS FIRST.
AFTER A 12-HOUR FLIGHT
AND THEN A 3-HOUR RIDE HOME,
IT'S NOT THE MOMENT
I WANT TO MEET HIS MOM
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
OH, MY GOD.
IN THE ENGLISH CULTURE,
I DON'T KNOW
IF PEOPLE EXPECT ME
TO ACT A CERTAIN WAY
OR TALK A CERTAIN WAY.
AND I HAVE
AN 8-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER.
A PART OF ME IS CONCERNED
THAT HIS MOM
MAY VIEW ME
NOT AS JON'S FUTURE WIFE.
ALL RIGHT, HONEY.
I KNOW, I'M COMING.
I HAVEN'T MET RACHEL YET.
SHE COULD BE
A REALLY BAD PERSON.
WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT ANYBODY.
OKAY,
LET'S GO INSIDE.
I DIDN'T EXCEPT FOR THIS TO HAVE
HAPPENED THE WAY IT HAS.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT MENTAL.
YEAH, A LITTLE BIT STRANGE.
HELLO.
HELLO.
HI.
HOW YOU DOIN?
IT WAS LONG.
HI!
HELLO.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, SHE'S ALLOWED
TO BE GRUMPY, AREN'T YOU?
I'LL BE ABSOLUTELY HONEST,
HE'S BEEN QUITE FICKLE
WITH GIRLS IN THE PAST.
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
TO FIND THE RIGHT PERSON.
IT'S JUST
A LITTLE BLANKIE.
AWW,
A BLANKET.
IT'S SO SOFT, LUCY.
THANK YOU.
FEEL, FEEL.
YEAH.
YES.
IT'S DIFFERENT
OVER THE PHONE.
YEAH, WE ALWAYS SAID
THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT...
SHE WE GO GET HER
CLEANED UP, THEN?
YEAH,
SHE NEEDS SLEEP.
OH!
I'VE MISSED YOU.
IF HE CARES FOR RACHEL
THE WAY HE SAYS HE DOES,
THEN LUCY'S PART OF THE PACKAGE.
OH, YOU GOT A SMILE.
I MEAN, HE HASN'T GOT A THING
ABOUT "I NEED TO HAVE CHILDREN,
I NEED TO HAVE A FAMILY."
SO THEIR RELATIONSHIP
IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS
THAT I DON'T GET.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT SCARY.
ABSOLUTELY,
I'M EXCITED.
MY FAMILY...
THEY'RE ALWAYS DE-LEGITIMIZING
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH RACHEL.
SHOW ME THE WAY.
I'LL SHOW YOU
THE WAY.
PART OF ME IS CONCERNED
THAT HIS MOM
MAY THINK
THAT I MIGHT BE THE WOMAN
TAKING HER SON AWAY FROM HER...
BUT IT WON'T STOP ME
FROM BEING WITH JON.
I WILL FIGHT
FOR THIS RELATIONSHIP
IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.
HERE WE GO.
SHE'S NOT MESSAGED ME
SINCE I GOT STUCK IN BANGKOK.
I HAVE NO IDEA IF HAZEL'S
GONNA BE HERE WAITING FOR ME.
I SEE A LITTLE SILHOUETTE,
MY HEART IS RACING.
YOU KIDDING ME?
WHAT THE HELL.
AFTER THE AIRLINE
LOST MY TICKET FROM BANGKOK,
I FINALLY MADE IT TO MANILA,
AND I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
AFTER EVERYTHING
THAT'S HAPPENED,
I HAVE NO IDEA IF HAZEL'S
GONNA BE HERE WAITING FOR ME.
SHE'S NOT MESSAGED ME
SINCE I GOT STUCK IN BANGKOK.
I REALLY HOPE SHE'S HERE,
AND IF SHE IS,
I REALLY HOPE
SHE'S HAPPY TO SEE ME.
THIS IS IT.
THIS IS THE MOMENT OF TRUTH.
I HOPE SHE'S ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS GATE.
IF SHE'S NOT, I'M GONNA SCREAM.
I'M GOING FOR IT.
IT WAS CRAZY.
WOW,
YOU'RE GORGEOUS.
WOW. WOW.
SHE IS A MILLION TIMES
MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN I COULD HAVE
EVER IMAGINED.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE
THIS BEAUTIFUL IN MY LIFE.
WOW.
SHE'S HERE.
IT CAN GET NO REALER
THAN THIS.
WHERE'S THE CAR?
HEY, HEY, HOW'S EVERYBODY?
OH,
THIS IS CRAZY.
YEAH,
THAT'S CRAZY.
Y'ALL ARE CRAZY,
MAN.
GEEZ,
LOOK AT YOU.
UH...
BUT...
OH.
I'M GONNA BE SAYING YOU'RE
BEAUTIFUL A MILLION TIMES.
OH, WOW.
I WANT TO ASK TARIK IF HE WENT
TO SEE HIS EX IN BANGKOK.
OH, SHE'S HERE, SHE'S HERE.
OH
I'M GONNA PASS OUT.
JUST LANDED IN COLOMBIA
TO MEET MELISSA.
AFTER 2 1/2 HOURS
WAITING AT THAT TABLE BY MYSELF,
FINALLY, SHE'S COMING.
MY HEART IS RACING AND I'M
SITTING THERE REALLY NERVOUS.
I'M LIKE HEY, THIS IS
REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
HOLY CRAP, MELISSA LOOKS
JUST LIKE THE PICTURES.
MELISSA,
SHE'S ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
I'M LIKE,
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, SHE'S ELEGANT.
I'M EXCITED.
SHE'S REAL,
SHE KEEPS SMILING.
I GUESS THAT'S A GOOD THING.
I NOTICED
THAT SHE HAD BRACES ON...
AND THAT'S NOTHING
I NOTICED BEFORE.
I THINK SHE LOOKS STUNNING
REGARDLESS.
I UNDERSTAND,
BUT YOU'RE HERE NOW.
MEANS THAT
THEY LOVE YOU.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS,
"LOVE YOU"?
THAT'S HOW I FEEL
ABOUT YOU.
OKAY?
OKAY.
OKAY.
UM...
YOUR COUNTRY,
BEAUTIFUL.
MOUNTAINS,
I LIKE IT.
I HOPE
YOU HAVE TIME
WHERE WE CAN
SEE MORE THINGS TOGETHER.
MY MOM TRAUMATIZED ME
BECAUSE SHE SAID
I DANCE LIKE A ROBOT
OR LIKE I'M BOXING.
YOU WANT
TO GET ON THE HORSE?
I FEEL LIKE MY WEIGHT IS
GONNA BREAK THE HORSE'S BACK.
ME AND MELISSA...
WE'RE HITTING IT OFF GREAT.
I MADE HER LAUGH.
I THINK I MADE
A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS
FOR TOMORROW?
OH.
OKAY.
TAXI.
I THINK, HONESTLY, MY CHARM
WON HER OVER TONIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT,
IT'S JUST YOU GET THAT VIBE.
I'M ABSOLUTELY EVEN MORE IN LOVE
WITH MELISSA.
BYE.
I JUST WANT TO KISS HER...
BUT I JUST CAN'T DO IT.
I WANT HER TO SEE
I'M A RESPECTFUL GENTLEMAN.
IT WAS WELL WORTH THE TRIP
ALREADY, AND THIS IS DAY ONE.
I COULD JUST IMAGINE WHAT
DAY SIX, SEVEN IS GONNA BE.
I BROUGHT WITH ME TODAY
MY CRIMINAL RECORD.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE I'M IN A
POLICE INTERROGATION ROOM AGAIN.
THIS IS NERVE-WRACKING.
OKAY.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME
WITH A BABY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE I'M DOING.
HEY, GUYS!
IT IS...
ANIKO AND ASPEN
ARE HERE.
SHOW ME THE WAY.
I'LL SHOW YOU
THE WAY.
A FEW HOURS AGO, ME AND LUCY
MET MY BOYFRIEND, JON,
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
IT WAS SIMPLY AMAZING.
MEETING JON'S MOM
WAS A LITTLE BIT AWKWARD.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT
OUR RELATIONSHIP IS STRANGE.
IT'S HARD FOR THEM
TO UNDERSTAND IT.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT A CRIB?
YEAH.
AWW,
BABY'S ROOM.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING.
THIS IS BETTER
THAN I HAVE AT HOME.
AND YOU HAVE
A WALKER.
I AM BLOWN AWAY
BY THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT
THAT HE HAS PUT INTO
MAKING THIS FOR LUCY.
BEING A SINGLE MOM,
IT'S A LOT OF WORK.
IT IS MORE OR LESS A SECOND JOB.
SO I'VE NEVER HAD ANY TIME
TO SET UP A NURSERY.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.
IT'S HOT.
I GOT TO TAKE THIS OFF.
HI,
JUST I'M HOT.
SHE'S THERE,
YOU STILL GOT HER.
ONE SECOND,
ONE SECOND.
I'M NOT NECESSARILY WORRIED
ABOUT OVERWHELMING JON.
THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS HE WANTS.
JON HAS A LOT TO LEARN,
AND I WANT TO MAKE JON AWARE
OF WHAT HE'S IN FOR
IF HE'S PLANNING ON SPENDING
THE REST OF HIS LIFE WITH ME.
YOU WANT TO FEED HER?
SHE'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
ITS OKAY,
IT'S OKAY.
SHH.
OH, TOO MUCH.
LUCY, LUCY.
I KNOW BABIES ARE HUMAN
AND THEY HAVE PRIMARY NEEDS,
BUT THERE'S SO MUCH ABOUT BABIES
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO.
OH, SORRY.
I'M HERE,
I'M RIGHT HERE.
WAIT,
SHE'S THERE, SHE'S THERE.
LOOK,
OH, HELLO.
WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT, WAIT, STOP.
DONE. GONE.
TA-DA!
TIME FOR BURPS.
JUST ONCE.
GOT TO BE A GOOD ONE.
NO,
DON'T SQUEEZE HER.
I REALIZED I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE I'M DOING.
I THOUGHT LOOKING AFTER A BABY
WOULD'VE BEEN EASIER,
BUT I KIND OF FEEL
MY STRESS LEVELS RISE.
OKAY.
I THINK...
YEAH,
THE BABY MONITOR WORKS.
WHAT?
OH, YOU CAN HEAR US?
I'LL MAKE YOU A CUP OF TEA,
HOW'S THAT?
RACHEL'S ADORABLE.
BUT THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WHERE
I'VE MET SOMEONE ONLINE
WITH A BABY, AND I AM TERRIFIED.
SO HOW DOES IT FEEL?
YEAH.
LOTS TO
GET YOUR HEAD AROUND.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN MAD.
IT'S BEEN MAD.
YEAH. YEAH.
I WANT TO BE HERE TO HELP HER,
BUT I'M TERRIFIED
THAT I'M INCAPABLE
OF LOOKING AFTER A BABY.
LUCY DOESN'T HAVE A DAD,
AND I PROMISED THAT I'D ALWAYS
BE THERE FOR HER.
I'M ONLY GONNA HAVE TWO WEEKS
TO SEE IF I'M READY FOR THIS.
I DON'T KNOW.
BEFORE THEY EVEN CONSIDER
GIVING ME PERMISSION
TO MARRY THEIR DAUGHTER.
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW
ALL THE DETAILS YET.
SO, I'VE HIRED A TRANSLATOR
TO MAKE SURE
THERE'S NO MISCOMMUNICATIONS,
NO MISTRANSLATIONS.
LAST TIME I WAS IN BRAZIL,
IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT
TRYING TO COMMUNICATE
WITH HER PARENTS.
ME AND KARINE REALLY WANT
TO GET MARRIED ON THIS TRIP.
IF KARINE'S FATHER DOESN'T
APPROVE OF WHAT HE FINDS OUT,
IT WILL BE THE END
OF OUR RELATIONSHIP.
I'M OPEN TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THAT Y'ALL HAVE FOR ME.
NOW, BEING JUDGED?
NO, EVERYTHING'S DONE.
THIS HAPPENED IN 2008,
SO THIS IS WAY,
WAY, WAY, WAY BACK.
UM...
I DO REGRET
THAT ENTIRE STRETCH OF MY LIFE,
DEALING WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE,
PUTTING THAT SPIRAL
OF SITUATIONS.
I WISH I COULD GO BACK
AND I COULD CHANGE THOSE THINGS,
BUT I CAN'T.
SHE WANTS TO KNOW
A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT
THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
OKAY, UM...
I SENT HER TEXT MESSAGES
TRYING TO MAKE AMENDS...
SO, THEY ACTUALLY
ARRESTED ME OVER THIS.
I SHOULD HAVE
STOPPED TEXTING.
THIS WAS A MISTAKE,
AND I HIGHLY REGRET IT.
SHE'S ASKING
IF YOU EVER HURT SOMEONE...
SHE'S ASKING
IF YOU EVER HURT SOMEONE...
NO, NO. I'VE NEVER
LAID HANDS ON A WOMAN
OR AN ANIMAL
OR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE.
EVEN IN SELF-DEFENSE,
THE MESSAGE THAT I SENT TO HER,
NOTHING THREATENING,
NEVER HIT HER,
NEVER PUSHED HER,
NOTHING LIKE THAT.
I'M VERY EMBARRASSED
GOING THROUGH ALL THIS,
RELIVING ALL THESE
PAST MISTAKES.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE I'M IN A
POLICE INTERROGATION ROOM AGAIN.
THIS IS NERVE-WRACKING.
PEOPLE... THEY SAY
IT'S NOT SAFE TO BE WITH YOU.
THEY WANT TO KNOW
WHAT CAN YOU OFFER
AND WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT THIS?
THAT IS THE REASON
WHY I'M HERE.
I'M HERE
FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES
TO LEARN THE CULTURE,
TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE,
TO ACTUALLY
SPEND LIFE WITH HER.
AND THAT WAY, SHE CAN FEEL SAFE
AND GET TO KNOW ME
AND SHE'LL HAVE HER FAMILY,
HER FRIENDS.
SHE'LL HAVE EVERYBODY HERE
SO SHE CAN FEEL SAFE AND SECURE.
SHE'S SAYING THAT
YOU'RE A REALLY CALM PERSON,
THAT YOU NEVER
EVEN THOUGHT
OF COMMITTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
AGAINST HER
AND THAT SAYING
THAT SHE'S TRUSTING YOU.
HE IS SAYING
THAT WE ARE ALL HUMANS
AND SOME PEOPLE
COMMIT MISTAKES
AND HE UNDERSTANDS YOU.
HE JUST WISH THAT ALL
THIS CRIMINAL THINGS ARE OVER.
I AM BLOWN AWAY.
THIS IS A HUGE RELIEF BECAUSE
WE CAN FINALLY MOVE FORWARD
WITH OUR WEDDING PLANS
IN BRAZIL.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
SHE HOPES THIS ALL GETS
LEFT BEHIND AND JUST THE FUTURE.
IT'S ALL LEFT BEHIND,
AND I'M NOW HERE WITH KARINE.
THE SAME.
YES? AWW, COME HERE.
SOMETHING SMELLS GOOD.
GETTING OLDER ISN'T ALWAYS EASY
WHEN YOU'RE WITH SOMEONE
IN THEIR 20s.
OBVIOUSLY,
YOU GET THOUGHTS LIKE,
"OH, GOSH, I'M GETTING OLDER,
YOU KNOW.
I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT."
IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A REMINDER
THAT LIFE IS SHORT.
I WOULD LOVE TO GET MARRIED
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
SO WE CAN START OUR
FUTURE TOGETHER.
DID YOU WRITE ME
A LOVE LETTER?
YES.
OH, MY GOD,
THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
"MY LOVE,
THE FIRST MOMENT I MET YOU,
I SAW
YOUR NATURAL BEAUTY.
I LOVE
LOOKING INTO YOUR EYES.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
MY TWIN FLAME."
OH, BABY,
THANK YOU.
I'M FEELING KIND OF EMOTIONAL...
I STILL DREAM OF HIM
BEING A STEP-DAD TO MY KIDS.
I'VE WAITED FOR THIS DAY
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
NERVOUS?
I CAN'T WAIT.
YEAH,
A LITTLE BIT, YEAH.
BIRTHDAY AND MEETING THE KIDS
ALL IN ONE DAY, IT'S...
IT'S A LOT.
I HAD SOME DOUBTS
ABOUT MEETING THE KIDS.
I DON'T THINK
IT'S THE BEST TIMING NOW,
SO I NEED TO APPROACH IT VERY
DELICATELY, VERY STEP-BY-STEP.
OH
DON'T BREAK MY BONES.
THE GIRLS ARE
ON THEIR WAY FROM CONNECTICUT.
JESSE'S WAITING INSIDE
SO I CAN HAVE A QUICK MOMENT
WITH THEM FIRST.
MY DAUGHTERS ARE ONLY 11 AND 12,
SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY
FEEL TOTALLY COMFORTABLE.
HEY, GUYS!
HI, BABY.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
I'M KIND OF NERVOUS.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT AWKWARD.
AWW, YOU'RE HERE
FOR MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY!
BUT...
OKAY, LET'S DO IT!
LET'S DO IT,
COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.
LET'S GO,
LET'S GO.
HEY, JESSE.
OH, MY GOD.
ANIKO AND ASPEN ARE HERE.
THERE THEY ARE.
HELLO.
HI.
CAN YOU
TELL 'EM APART?
THAT'S ANIKO.
YES, HI.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
YOU, TOO.
AND ASPEN.
ASPEN, HELLO.
OH, MY GOD.
FINALLY.
I WAS, LIKE,
ALMOST SHAKING.
I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD,
CAN IT HAPPEN ALREADY?"
MY BEAUTIFUL ANGELS.
YES.
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE
YOU GUYS, ABSOLUTELY.
SAME.
FINALLY.
WOW, UM...
IT'S CRAZY TO KNOW THAT
AT THE POINT WHERE I AM
IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW,
TO NOW BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP
WHERE THERE IS
TWO KIDS INVOLVED.
IT'S VERY OVERWHELMING.
SO WE GOT
A BOAT TRIP PLANNED,
YOU KNOW,
FOR MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY.
YEAH?
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GO GUYS. YES?
LET'S DO IT.
OKAY.
COME ON, HONEY.
LET'S GO.
OH, I THINK WE'RE GOING.
YUP.
THERE WE GO.
YEAH!
- HERE WE GO.
- AWESOME.
HOW'S AMSTERDAM?
BUT I THINK
IT'S MORE CRAZY.
LIKE...
PEOPLE AND MADNESS.
HOW IS, LIKE,
CONNECTICUT NOW FOR YOU?
OH, IT'S FUN.
YEAH.
LIKE
NEW YORK OR LIKE AMSTERDAM,
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT I KNOW.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF FAMILY,
AS WELL, RIGHT?
YEAH.
IT'S IMPORTANT
TO KIND OF STICK TOGETHER.
LOVE AND FAMILY...
IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT.
YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW.
MY MOM... SHE LIKES HAVING
SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS,
BUT I FEEL LIKE
THEY SHOULD JUST TAKE IT SLOW...
YEAH.
ANIKO, ASPEN.
I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE,
YOU THREE.
READY?
SAY, "CHEESE!"
AWW, BEAUTIFUL.
NICE MEMORY.
LOVE IT.
LOVE YOU GUYS.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE,
ALL OF YOU.
TODAY'S BEEN SO POSITIVE,
AND IT FEELS GOOD.
IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE HE'S
COMMITTED TO THIS RELATIONSHIP.
I'M CONFIDENT
THAT WE HAVE SIMILAR DREAMS
WHEN IT COMES TO FAMILY
AND STABILITY.
WE WANT THAT TOGETHER.
TEAM DARCEY AND JESSE!
BUT I JUST WANT TO PREVENT
THAT THEY ATTACH TO ME TOO SOON
BECAUSE IT IS...
FIRST NIGHT.
IT'S BEEN
A LONG TIME COMING.
I'LL BE BACK.
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT
THERE WERE TWO BEDS.
I JUST LANDED IN THE PHILIPPINES
AND JUST MET HAZEL
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
HAZEL DIDN'T KISS ME
WHEN WE FIRST MET,
AND SHE'S DEFINITELY MORE
DISTANT THAN I THOUGHT SHE'D BE.
I HOPE SHE WARMS UP.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
REALLY?
IN BANGKOK?
YOU REALLY
THOUGHT THAT?
YEAH.
NO,
I LITERALLY...
IT'S UPSETTING THAT HAZEL THINKS
I SAW MY EX IN BANGKOK.
THAT'S OVER.
I'M HERE BECAUSE I LOVE HAZEL.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK
FOR A MINUTE
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO BELIEVE HIM
BECAUSE WE ALREADY TALK ABOUT
OUR FUTURE TOGETHER.
I BOOKED A CONDO
FOR HAZEL AND I.
APPARENTLY, HER PLACE
IS TOO SMALL FOR US...
WHICH COST ME MORE MONEY,
BUT I HAD TO DO THAT
JUST TO BE WITH HER.
ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT MICROWAVE,
REFRIGERATOR,
TV,
LITTLE WORK DESK.
SO, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT
THAT THERE WERE TWO BEDS.
BECAUSE THE PICTURE
LOOKED LIKE IT.
I AGREED TO STAY AT THIS CONDO
BECAUSE HE SAID
THE CONDO HAS TWO BEDS.
IT'S TOO SOON TO SLEEP
WITH ONE BED.
NO, YOU'RE NOT SLEEPING
ON THE...
THAT'S OKAY,
I CAN...
BAM,
COUPLE OF PILLOWS.
LOOK.
WATCH, NO, WATCH.
I GOT ENOUGH ROOM.
IT'S ALL GOOD.
I CAN CRACK THE TOES
AND EVERYTHING.
I JUST WANT YOU
TO BE COMFORTABLE.
I'M NOT TRYING TO
MAKE YOU FEEL WEIRD OR AWKWARD.
OH, SO THIS
WILL SEPARATE US?
OKAY, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO FORCE ME.
THIS IS MY SIDE.
YUP, YUP,
MUCH BETTER.
KNOCK, KNOCK.
NO ROBE.
PUSH THAT OVER HERE.
I'M AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA BE
VERY COMFORTABLE WITH ME,
BUT SHE WANTS
A BARRIER BETWEEN US.
SO THERE WILL BE A BARRIER.
THIS IS OUR FIRST NIGHT
AS A COUPLE.
WE ARE NOT
CYBER PEOPLE ANYMORE.
I'M GONNA
RESPECT THE BORDER,
BUT YOU GOT
TO SMOOCH ME.
I'LL SETTLE FOR THAT.
SO...
YOU WANT
TO SLEEP NOW?
YEAH.
OKAY.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE SEX
WITH HIM NOW.
I WANT TO... MARRY FIRST.
I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED,
AND I'M TIRED, TOO.
IT'S BEEN A LONG ONE.
I CAME TO THE PHILIPPINES
WITH AN ENGAGEMENT RING
FOR HAZEL.
I WANT TO SPEND
THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH HER,
BUT I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO READ HER RIGHT NOW.
I REALLY JUST HOPE THAT
SHE HASN'T BEEN PLAYING ME
THIS WHOLE TIME.
WHY?
I DON'T KNOW WHY
THEY MAKE IT LIKE THAT.
MEETING JON FOR THE FIRST TIME
WAS WONDERFUL.
HE IS DIFFERENT FROM
THE AMERICAN MEN THAT I'VE DATED
BECAUSE HE PUTS EVERYBODY
BEFORE HIM.
BUT JON DOESN'T KNOW
TOO MUCH ABOUT BABIES.
HE HASN'T HAD A LOT
OF FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCES.
OKAY.
OKAY.
SHE COULD BE REALLY HAPPY.
I KIND OF FEEL STRESS.
I'M FEELING ANXIOUS
ABOUT OUR FIRST NIGHT.
IT'S OUR FIRST TIME TOGETHER.
IF SHE WERE TO SCREAM AND CRY
THE ENTIRE TIME,
IT COULD DEFINITELY
RUIN THE CHEMISTRY.
HI.
HELLO.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
THE LAST TIME I HAD SEX,
I GOT PREGNANT.
MY BODY ISN'T THE SAME
AS IT USED TO BE.
I'VE ONLY GIVEN BIRTH
EIGHT MONTHS AGO,
AND I AM VERY INSECURE
WITH BODY IMAGE.
I JUST HOPE THAT JON
HAS NOT BUILT UP
SOME UNREALISTIC EXPECTATION
OF WHO HE MAY THINK THAT I AM.
I'VE WAITED A LONG TIME
TO SLEEP NEXT TO RACHEL.
I'M NERVOUS BECAUSE
I THINK CHEMISTRY
TAKES A LITTLE BIT LONGER
TO DEVELOP.
AND, UM...
THIS IS EITHER GONNA BE AMAZING
OR IT'S GONNA BE A DISASTER.
FIRST NIGHT.
IT'S BEEN
A LONG TIME COMING.
I'LL BE BACK.
QUIETLY.
HE'S LIKE A NERVOUS
FIRST-TIME PARENT.
NOW I'M A NERVOUS
SECOND-TIME PARENT.
I SHOULD PROBABLY CHECK ON THAT.
OR SHOULD I LEAVE IT?
I'LL LEAVE IT.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD
TO THIS MOMENT
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE CHEMISTRY
THAT WE IMAGINED WE WOULD HAVE
FOR SO LONG,
IT WOULD BE VERY SAD
TO THINK THAT
WE DIDN'T HAVE
WHAT WE THOUGHT WE HAD.
YOU WANT ME
TO PUT FOUNDATION ON?
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING
AT ME FUNNY, MICHAEL.
WHEW, LAST NIGHT WITH MICHAEL
WAS, UH...
IT WAS AWESOME!
BANG.
I LOVE YOU TOO, BABY.
YES, I'M EXCITED.
OKAY, BABY.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GET READY.
OKAY.
TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO
MICHAEL'S NEIGHBORHOOD
TO MEET HIS MOM
AND SOME OF HIS FRIENDS.
I'M NERVOUS MEETING
HIS MOM, I MEAN...
WHO WOULDN'T BE?
THAT'S MY POTENTIAL
MOTHER-IN-LAW, AND...
I'M 52. HE'S 30.
OH, MY GOD,
WHAT IS SHE THINKING ABOUT IT?
LIKE, JUST EXAMINE HER.
YOU WANT ME
TO PUT FOUNDATION ON?
OR YOU WANT ME
TO JUST DO MY EYES?
JUST DO IT.
MAKE IT, I MEAN...
OVER HERE?
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT ME FUNNY,
MICHAEL.
I'M FRICKIN' NERVOUS.
EVERYBODY'S LOOKING AT ME.
IS IT 'CAUSE I'M WHITE OR...
IS IT 'CAUSE I'M OLDER?
ALL THESE THINGS
ARE GOING THROUGH MY HEAD
AND I STILL GOT TO MEET MOM,
SO I'M VERY NERVOUS.
'CAUSE IF SHE DOESN'T
APPROVE OF ME,
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
THIS RELATIONSHIP WILL GO.
LET'S GO.
NEXT TIME ON
"BEFORE THE 90 DAYS"...
SO YOU WANT
TO DO THIS?
I HAVEN'T SPOKEN WITH MY MOTHER.
SHE'S GONNA FREAK OUT.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
GOING AND GETTING MARRIED.
YOU'RE NOT READY.
HAZEL'S MOTHER AND FATHER
ARE ON THE FLOOR.
THERE ARE PEOPLE SHOUTING,
SCREAMING, CRYING.
LIKE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF.
HER BEHAVIOR RIGHT NOW IS CRAZY.
MAYBE I'LL JUST WALK FULLY AWAY.
EVENTUALLY, SHE'S GONNA
START CALLING ME MAMA
AND YOU DADA, PAPA.
I KIND OF FEEL LIKE
IT WOULD BE WRONG.
I AM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED.
I'LL BE
STOP.
I'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND
ALL DAY.
NO MELISSA.
I'M GETTING TIRED OF THIS CRAP.
I WAS NAIVE TO THINK
THAT WE HAD SOMETHING REAL.
"BEFORE THE 90 DAYS"...
WELL, HEY.
A CON ARTIST
IS A CON ARTIST.
YOU GOT TO BE REAL
WITH YOURSELF, MAN.
PEOPLE THINK HAZEL'S JUST
A GIRL FROM A POOR COUNTRY,
TAKING ME FOR A RIDE.
I'M LOOKING FOR HIM,
AND HE'S NOT THERE.
YEAH.
IS SHE PLAYING GAMES WITH ME?
I'M JUST GONNA GO.
I NEVER SAID
THAT YOU CHEATED.
I'M NOT BEING
INCRIMINATED AGAINST
BECAUSE YOU WANT ME
TO SAY CERTAIN THINGS
THAT YOU'RE THINKING
IN YOUR HEAD!
AND COMING UP...
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY BABY.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME
WITH A BABY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE I'M DOING.
HEY, GUYS.
IT IS...
ANIKO AND ASPEN
ARE HERE.
I HOPE IT'S REALLY HER.
IT'S GONNA BE UP
IF IT'S NOT.
I NEED CONCRETE PROOF
THAT KARINE HAS BEEN FAITHFUL
TO ME.
CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS
TODAY'S MY FIRST DAY
IN MEDELLíN, COLOMBIA.
TRAVEL ALL THE WAY FROM OHIO
TO MEET MELISSA,
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.
MET HER ONLINE ON A DATING APP.
EVEN THOUGH WE'VE JUST
BEEN TEXTING ONLY,
I'M DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH HER.
I WANT HER TO BE MY WIFE.
THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG.
I RESERVED A 7:00 TABLE, BUT...
IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS ALREADY,
AND STILL NO MELISSA.
MY CUTOFF NOW IS SOMEWHERE
IN BETWEEN 9:00 AND 9:15.
SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN THERE,
I'M GONNA STAND UP
AND SAY I'M GONNA GO.
I REALLY FEEL AS IF
SHE'S JUST PLAYING GAMES
BECAUSE 7:30, THEN IT'S 8:30.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THAT'S LIKE A TELLTALE SIGN
OF HOW MUCH SOMEBODY
HAS RESPECT FOR YOU.
IT'S LIKE NOTHING HERE.
SHE NEEDS TO SHOW UP.
SHE HAS TO SHOW UP.
I JUST TRAVELED ALL THIS WAY,
AND IT CAN'T BE FOR NOTHING.
POTENTIALLY
IF SHE GETS HERE AT 10:00,
AND SHE CAN BE LIKE,
"HEY, WHERE YOU AT?"
AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME.
I DON'T KNOW.
SHE SENT A PICTURE
OF HER INSIDE A TAXI
ON THE WAY OVER HERE.
SHE'S ON HER WAY.
SHE'S COMING.
MY HEART'S GONNA GO...
IT'S STARTING TO FEEL
SUPER REAL.
THIS IS CRAZY.
OH, MY GOD.
SHE JUST TOOK THE PICTURE
OF THE TAXI,
NOT OF HERSELF.
WHICH IS KIND OF WEIRD.
I DON'T KNOW.
I MAY BE THINKING
TOO DEEP INTO IT.
MAYBE, BUT...
WHO KNOWS?
SHE'S ON HER WAY.
WHEW.
WHEN I MEET HER,
I HOPE IT'S REALLY HER.
SERIOUSLY, LIKE,
IT'S GONNA BE UP
IF IT'S NOT.
OH, SHE'S HERE, SHE'S HERE.
WHEW.
GET YOUR GAME, MATE,
GET YOUR GAME PLAN.
AH.
I REALLY HOPE
WHEN I MEET MELISSA TONIGHT
THAT SHE'S REAL,
THE CHEMISTRY IS THERE.
AND IT WAS ALL WELL-WORTH IT.
IT'S A LITTLE COLD.
I JUST ARRIVED
IN LONDON, ENGLAND,
AFTER A 12-HOUR FLIGHT
FROM ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO.
OH.
AND I CAN'T BELIEVE
I MET MY BOYFRIEND, JON,
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
AND I INTRODUCED HIM TO
MY 8-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER, LUCY.
DON'T GET RUN OVER,
JUST IN CASE.
WE GOT TO
"LOOK BOTH WAYS."
OKAY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
I AM ACTUALLY IN ENGLAND
AND JON IS IN FRONT OF ME.
FISH AND CHIPS.
EVERYTHING JUST LOOKS LIKE
IT JUST HAS SO MUCH HISTORY.
IT'S KIND OF ROMANTIC
THAT HE LIVES IN ENGLAND.
AND THAT ACCENT IS KILLER.
HE COULD READ ME THE DICTIONARY,
AND I'D LISTEN TO EVERY WORD.
- AWW.
- WHAT?
IT'S SO ENGLISH.
SHE'S...
SHE LOOKS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
FROM GIRLFRIENDS
I'VE HAD IN THE PAST.
BUT BOTH OF US ARE HAPPY.
OH, I HAVE TO GET A MAGNET
BEFORE I LEAVE.
YEAH.
YEAH.
YEAH.
WESTON-SUPER-MARE
IS A SEASIDE TOWN.
I'VE LIVED THERE ALL MY LIFE.
WE'RE HEADED THERE NOW,
AND WE'RE GONNA SPEND
THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THERE
TOGETHER.
IT'S SO WEIRD GETTING IN
ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CAR.
WELL, THERE'S SO MUCH ABOUT
BABIES I HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT.
WHY'S SHE FACING
THAT WAY?
BECAUSE THAT'S LEGALLY
HOW SHE HAS TO FACE.
NOT FOR THIS TOWN.
OKAY.
IT'S A LOT MORE COMPLICATED
THAN I THOUGHT.
OH, MY GOSH.
WE'RE TOGETHER.
YEAH.
THIS IS IT.
THIS IS WHAT I LOOK LIKE.
I KNOW.
AND I'M A LITTLE
MAD AT YOU FOR THAT.
JON IS VERY RUGGED.
HE'S VERY, VERY CUTE.
SO IT'S VERY EASY
TO FEEL INSECURE.
I JUST LOOK
BEAT UP RIGHT NOW.
OH, THANKS.
WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT
OF CHEMISTRY.
IT'S A LOT.
AND I JUST THINK,
YEAH.
I THINK IT'S LIKE ON
OR IT'S OFF.
IT'S DEFINITELY ON.
THE CHEMISTRY.
YEAH.
YEAH, YOU DID.
SHE'S REAL.
I WANT TO BE JON'S FUTURE WIFE
AND HAVE HIM BE
A FATHER TO LUCY.
BUT JON HAS NO IDEA
WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE AROUND A BABY 24/7.
HE COULD BE IN
FOR A RUDE AWAKENING.
I THINK SHE DOES
RECOGNIZE WHO YOU ARE.
SHE JUST DIDN'T KNOW
HOW YOU GOT OUT OF THAT PHONE.
WELL,
I'M GLAD.
LUCY DOES NOT HAVE
A BIOLOGICAL FATHER IN HER LIFE,
AND IT MAKES ME VERY SAD.
I WANT HIM TO BE
THAT FATHER FIGURE,
BUT I HOPE I HAVEN'T BUILT UP
AN IDEAL EXPECTATION OF JON.
I JUST LANDED IN NIGERIA,
AND I'M ABOUT TO MEET MICHAEL
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
MICHAEL AND I MET ONLINE.
EVENTUALLY, WE FELL IN LOVE,
BUT WE'VE NEVER MET EACH OTHER.
PEOPLE THINK HE'S SCAMMING ME
BECAUSE I'M 52, HE'S 30.
BUT I KNOW HE'S IN MY HEART
AND I KNOW HE'S THE ONE.
THIS TRIP IS MAKE OR BREAK.
I PUT SO MUCH MONEY IN IT,
SO MUCH TIME,
SO MUCH HEART.
I'M READY TO GO SEE
IF IT'S GONNA MAKE IT.
I'M GOING TO PICK UP MY BABY,
ANGELA.
WHEN I FIRST SEE MICHAEL,
I'M GONNA BE A NERVOUS WRECK.
I TELL MICHAEL, I SAY, YOU KNOW,
"THAT FIRST KISS, I'LL KNOW
IF YOU LOVE ME OR NOT."
HE'S LIKE, "HOW YOU GONNA TELL?"
I SAID, "I'M 50 YEARS OLD.
I WILL KNOW."
I MIGHT KISS HER OR HUG HER,
OR I MEAN, IT'S GONNA
COME NATURALLY, YOU KNOW?
WHERE IS...
THIS WAY?
I'M AT THE AIRPORT.
I'M SO NERVOUS.
WHERE IS...
THIS WAY?
AH!
AH!
WHOO!
YOU'RE NOT SHORT.
YOU'RE NOT SHORT.
I WAS LIKE...
WHEN I FIRST SAW MICHAEL,
I COULDN'T HOLD MYSELF BACK.
I JUST
HAD TO RUN TO HIM
BECAUSE THAT'S MY SEXY NIGERIAN,
BABY, HA HA!
GOT MY BUBBA KIKI!
I WASN'T PLANNING... I WASN'T
PLANNING ON KISSING HIM.
IT JUST CAME FROM THE HEART,
AND THAT'S IT.
AND...
SEE?
OH, GOD.
SORRY.
NO, NO, I'M JUST KIDDING.
I LIKE IT.
DO YOU LIKE IT?
MICHAEL,
MICHAEL, MICHAEL.
YEAH, YEAH.
MAYBE?
BUT, I MEAN, I'M HAPPY.
I'M OVERWHELMED.
LET'S GO,
LET'S GO.
I JUST
FEEL GREAT NOW.
I'M WITH MICHAEL,
SO, I MEAN, I'M HAPPY.
YOU HAPPY?
YEAH, OF COURSE.
I'M HERE, I AM.
OH!
NO, I DON'T WANT
TO SLEEP.
WHY?
WHY WON'T YOU SLEEP?
HOLD ON, MICHAEL.
OKAY,
NEVER MIND, COME ON.
THIS TRIP WILL SHOW ME
IF MICHAEL AND ME WILL MAKE IT.
FOR REAL, LIKE,
IF I DON'T FEEL IT,
IF I FEEL HE'S NOT LOVING ME
THE WAY I THINK HE'S LOVING ME,
IT'S OFF.
THAT QUICK.
IT'S MY FIRST DAY
BACK IN BRAZIL WITH KARINE,
AND THINGS ARE JUST
NOT GOING WELL.
SINCE ME AND KARINE
HAVE BEEN APART,
SOME BIG TRUST ISSUES
HAVE DEVELOPED
IN OUR RELATIONSHIP.
SHE'S BEEN TALKING TO OTHER
AMERICAN MEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
SHE'S BEING
WHAT I CONSIDER FLIRTATIOUS.
SO I CONFRONTED KARINE
ABOUT MY CONCERNS,
AND SHE JUST BRUSHES IT OFF
AND JUST SAYS, "WE'RE JUST
FRIENDS, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT."
WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?
NO,
WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I HAVE
A LOT OF CONCERNS
WITH ALL THE THINGS
I'VE SEEN ONLINE.
SEEING MY FIANCéE
FLIRT ONLINE WITH OTHER MEN
DEFINITELY MAKES ME FEEL
VERY UNCOMFORTABLE,
AND RAISES A LOT OF RED FLAGS.
I'VE LOST A LOT OF SLEEP
OVER THINKING ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT
SHE'S CHEATING ON ME OR NOT.
MADE ME A LITTLE PARANOID,
IN SOME WAYS.
SHE'S NOT GONNA
TAKE THIS WELL AT ALL.
BUT...
SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING
THAT I'VE HAD SEX
WITH OTHER MEN?
WHY DO NOT YOU TRUST ME?
I'VE BEEN AWAY
FOR FIVE MONTHS.
I KNOW IT'S MY CONCERN,
MY PROBLEM, NOT YOURS.
WILL YOU PLEASE
TAKE THIS TEST
TO SETTLE ANY AND ALL DOUBTS
ONE LAST TIME?
OKAY,
I'M GOING TO DO THIS TEST.
I MEAN, I REALLY LOVE HER,
AND IF SHE IS PREGNANT
WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILD,
I DON'T KNOW
HOW I'M GONNA REACT.
OH, THIS IS REALLY AWKWARD.
I'M SORRY.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
THERE'S A REALLY
LIGHT THING THERE.
NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.
NO, NO.
I'M NOT PREGNANT.
I'M VERY SORRY
FOR ALL THE MISTRUST.
I'M REALLY GONNA TRY
TO START TRUSTING YOU MORE.
AFTER BEING CHEATED ON
SO MANY TIMES IN THE PAST,
IT SCARS YOU.
IT DEFINITELY SCARS YOU.
I STILL HAVE DIFFERENT LINGERING
DOUBTS THERE FESTERING,
BUT I'M REALLY
HOPING AND PRAYING
THAT MAYBE I'M JUST
BEING PARANOID.
KARINE'S PARENTS
ARE TRAVELING TOMORROW
TO GO THROUGH THE DETAILS
OF MY CRIMINAL RECORD,
SO THERE'S STILL A LOT OF
OBSTACLES WE NEED TO OVERCOME
ON THIS TRIP.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
BEING A DAD AT 24?
I DON'T WANT DARCY
TO HAVE SO MANY EXPECTATIONS.
HEADED OVER TOKYO.
I'M FLYING TO MANILA
IN THE PHILIPPINES
TO MEET THE WOMAN
WHO IS MY SOULMATE
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
I'VE GOT
FIVE CONNECTING FLIGHTS.
IT'S GONNA TAKE ME
TWO DAYS TO GET THERE,
BUT SHE'S WORTH ALL THE TROUBLE.
HER NAME IS HAZEL.
I MET HER ONLINE
JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.
SHE'S 25.
REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
SHE LOOKS LIKE AN ASIAN VERSION
OF ANGELINA JOLIE.
SHE'S JUST SO KIND.
I'VE NEVER FELT THIS WAY
ABOUT ANYONE, EVER,
IN MY LIFE.
THIS IS WHAT CRAZY MEN DO.
I GOT TO CATCH THIS FLIGHT.
THIS IS COSTING ME
A PRETTY PENNY,
AND IT'S THE FURTHEST
I'VE EVER BEEN FROM HOME
AND THE LONGEST I'VE EVER
BEEN AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER.
I'M PUTTING SO MUCH ON THE LINE
FOR A WOMAN
WHO I'VE NEVER MET BEFORE.
BEFORE I LEFT THE U.S.,
HAZEL WAS ACTING A LITTLE WEIRD.
SO, UNFORTUNATELY,
MY BROTHER THINKS
HAZEL IS JUST USING ME.
SHE'S GOT
VERY GOOD GAME.
A CON ARTIST
IS A CON ARTIST.
YOU GOT TO BE REAL
WITH YOURSELF, MAN.
I REALLY HOPE THAT I'M NOT
JUST ONE OF MANY SUCKERS
THAT SHE'S BEEN TALKING TO.
MY FINAL CONNECTION
IS IN BANGKOK, THAILAND.
I MET MY EX HERE.
WE DATED FOR A WHILE,
BUT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
IT'S A LITTLE WEIRD TO BE BACK
BUT UNDER
DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES.
MY SEAT'S NOT CONFIRMED
TO THE PHILIPPINES.
I'VE GOT TO BUY A NEW TICKET,
AND I'M GONNA BE STUCK HERE
FOR AROUND 11 HOURS.
I'M JUST WAITING AT
THE AIRPORT TERMINAL.
NERVOUS,
STOMACH KIND OF TURNING.
AND RUSHING TO
THE VERY LAST FLIGHT.
JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER.
I KNOW IT WILL BE ALL WORTH IT.
AFTER TWO DAYS OF TRAVELING,
I'VE FINALLY MADE IT
TO MANILA TO MEET HAZEL
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
I THINK HAZEL WOULD MAKE
A GOOD WIFE AND STEPMOM.
SO THIS COULD BE THE MOMENT
THAT CHANGES MY LIFE,
LIKE FOREVER.
THIS IS THE MOMENT OF TRUTH.
I HOPE SHE'S ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS GATE.
IF SHE'S NOT, I'M GONNA SCREAM.
I'M GOING FOR IT.
I AM HAZEL.
I AM 25 YEARS OLD.
I AM LIVING IN MANILA,
PHILIPPINES.
I MET TARIK ONLINE.
WHEN I FIRST SAW HIS PICTURE,
I THOUGHT HE WAS HANDSOME.
AND I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS
ALL MY LIFE.
I HAVE A SON.
HE'S 6 YEARS OLD,
AND HE LIVES WITH HIS FATHER
BECAUSE I HAVE NO MONEY.
TARIK, HE'S COMING HERE NOW,
SO I HOPE IT WILL BE
WORK OUT WITH HIM.
LET ME SEE.
HIS STORY IS SUSPICIOUS.
I AM WORRIED IF TARIK
CHOOSE HIS EX OVER ME.
SO I HOPE HE IS
SERIOUS ABOUT ME.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL, BABY.
JESSE ARRIVED
IN AMERICA YESTERDAY
AFTER SIX MONTHS OF BEING APART.
IT FEELS GOOD, IT FEELS LIKE
WE'RE BACK HOME AGAIN,
LIKE TOGETHER AS ONE.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
WHERE DO YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE AT?
LIKE IT'S SO DIFFERENT
FROM THE CITY.
JESSE'S GONNA MEET
THE GIRLS TOMORROW.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
MOMENTS OF MY LIFE.
I WANT TO SEE HIM
EMBRACE THE KIDS
SO I KNOW WE CAN
PLAN FOR OUR FUTURE.
WOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THAT
BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUND.
BEING IN A LONG-DISTANCE
RELATIONSHIP AGAIN,
IT'S BEEN REALLY DIFFICULT.
OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS,
WE MAKE UP AND BREAK UP
ALMOST EVERY DAY.
IT'S AMAZING.
DESPITE THE FIGHTING
AND DISAGREEMENTS,
DEEP DOWN INSIDE,
I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE
A DEEP CONNECTION
THAT IS UNBREAKABLE.
IT'S CUTE,
LIKE WALKING DOWN THE AISLE.
KEPT SEEING MARRIED COUPLES,
AND THEY WERE PLAYING,
LIKE, A WEDDING MARCH.
IT'S CONFIRMATION FOR ME
FROM THE UNIVERSE
THAT WE'RE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER.
SO WE GONNA KISS ON THE BRIDGE
LIKE IN AMSTERDAM?
DARCEY AND I HAVE
ONE MORE DAY IN NEW YORK...
MY PURSE.
AFTER ALL THE DRAMA,
I'M NERVOUS ABOUT
MEETING HER KIDS.
I LOVE HER, BUT...
AND THAT MAKES ME DOUBT THE
ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP SOMETIMES.
THIS IS NICE.
I KNOW.
YEP, WE CAN FINALLY
HAVE THAT MOMENT
THAT WE'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT.
IT'S GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL,
I'M SURE.
I FEEL NOW IS THE TIME
FOR THEM TO MEET YOU.
I THINK IT WOULD BE
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY,
BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY
NOT WANT
MY DAUGHTERS TO SEE US
GET IN ANY SORT OF ARGUMENT
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
YEAH, FOR ME, I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT THAT A LOT,
AND I WILL NEVER,
LIKE...
YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THEM
TO EXPERIENCE ONCE AGAIN
WHAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH
YOUR EX-HUSBAND AND YOURSELF.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
BEING, LIKE,
A POSSIBLE DAD AT 24?
LIKE BEING THEIR STEPDAD?
IT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE...
NEED TO...
APPROACH DELICATELY.
AND FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP,
SO I HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS
OF EVERY STEP I TAKE.
IF IT FEELS RIGHT...
FOR AT LEAST
AN INTRODUCTION IN PERSON,
AND SEE WHERE
IT GOES FROM THERE.
DARCEY IS 43,
BUT I AM ONLY 24 YEARS OLD.
AND I AM NOT SURE
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.
I DON'T WANT DARCEY TO HAVE
SO MANY EXPECTATIONS.
ONE BED, PLEASE.
THE ONLY PROBLEM I GOT
IS YOU'RE STILL DRESSED,
MICHAEL.
SHE COULD BE
A REALLY BAD PERSON.
NOT REALLY LOOKING FORWARD
TO THIS AT ALL.
HELLO.
HELLO.
I'VE JUST LANDED IN NIGERIA
TO MEET MY BOYFRIEND, MICHAEL,
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I'VE HAD LOVE BEFORE,
BUT WHEN YOU'RE APPRECIATED
IN LOVE, IT'S DIFFERENT.
I THINK MICHAEL APPRECIATES ME.
IT'S A DIFFERENT FEELING.
BABY, STOP.
STOP.
THE WAY
THE AMERICAN WOMEN BEHAVE,
IT'S QUITE DIFFERENT
FROM HERE IN NIGERIA.
THESE ARE WHAT, BABY?
WHAT ARE THEY CALLED?
HOOKERS?!
H-A-W-K-E-R.
IT SOUNDS LIKE "HOOKER"
IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
IN AMERICA, THAT'S LIKE
THEIR STREETWALKERS.
NO, NO, NO.
SO THEY'RE HAWKERS.
I'VE NEVER BEEN NOWHERE
OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES.
SO I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED...
HOW I'M GONNA...
CAN I BE MYSELF,
CAN I NOT BE MYSELF IN PUBLIC?
I DON'T KNOW THE RULES.
THIS IS IT?
I THINK SO.
THIS TRIP'S VERY EXPENSIVE.
I'M SPENDING EVERYTHING I HAVE.
EVEN THOUGH
MICHAEL LIVES WITH HIS MOM,
WE'RE STAYING AT A HOTEL.
HE OFFERED TO GO TO HIS MOM'S,
BUT HER BEING A CHRISTIAN WOMAN
LIKE I KNOW SHE IS,
I WOULD FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
I'M TOO HONEST.
ONE BED, PLEASE.
OKAY, NO PROBLEM.
WELCOME,
YOU HAVE A NICE DAY.
THANK YOU.
BEING WITH ANGELA FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN REAL LIFE.
OH, IT'S SO PRETTY,
ISN'T IT?
OH, IT FEELS SO GOOD
IN HERE, MICHAEL.
STOP.
I GOT
SOME SURPRISES FOR YA.
OH, REALLY?
YEAH.
YEP.
WOW.
OH, MICHAEL,
YOU LOOK GOOD IN HATS.
NO, I WANT YOU
TO TRY IT ON.
WAIT, FIX IT.
BUSINESS PARTNER?
YES.
YO,
CHECK ME OUT.
OH, I LOVE THAT ON YOU,
MICHAEL.
DONALD TRUMP
MAKE AMERICAN GREAT.
I LOVE THE WORDS.
I LOVE IT.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
DO YOU LOVE IT OR WHAT?
IT'LL FIT
'CAUSE THIS IS THICK.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
NO.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
LET ME SEE
WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.
OKAY, THAT'S IT.
BEING WITH HER,
I MEAN,
IT'S A NEW EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
DO YOU WANT HELP?
I MEAN, SHE'S SO JOYOUS,
SHE'S HAPPY.
WHAT?
MY BABY.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
WOULDN'T YOU BE NERVOUS
BEING NAKED
WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE
AND YOU NEVER TOUCHED?
BUT I AIN'T BEEN
WITH A MAN IN A YEAR.
HE'S IN TROUBLE.
HE'S IN BIG TROUBLE.
YOU SEE,
COME.
LET'S GO.
I'M VERY COMFORTABLE WITH HIM,
BUT I THINK MICHAEL'S
A LITTLE BIT
MORE SHY AND RESERVED THAN ME.
I HOPE I'M PRETTY ENOUGH FOR HIM
AND HOPE HE LIKES WHAT HE SEES.
SO, I DUNNO, WE'LL SEE.
A FEW HOURS AGO,
I MET MY BOYFRIEND
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
WE'VE BEEN DRIVING
FOR THE LAST THREE HOURS
TO HIS HOUSE,
WHERE HE LIVES WITH HIS MOM.
ARE YOU EXCITED
ABOUT SEEING MY MUM?
MEETING YOUR MOTHER.
I JUST WISH THAT I COULD SLEEP
FOR EIGHT HOURS FIRST.
AFTER A 12-HOUR FLIGHT
AND THEN A 3-HOUR RIDE HOME,
IT'S NOT THE MOMENT
I WANT TO MEET HIS MOM
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
OH, MY GOD.
IN THE ENGLISH CULTURE,
I DON'T KNOW
IF PEOPLE EXPECT ME
TO ACT A CERTAIN WAY
OR TALK A CERTAIN WAY.
AND I HAVE
AN 8-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER.
A PART OF ME IS CONCERNED
THAT HIS MOM
MAY VIEW ME
NOT AS JON'S FUTURE WIFE.
ALL RIGHT, HONEY.
I KNOW, I'M COMING.
I HAVEN'T MET RACHEL YET.
SHE COULD BE
A REALLY BAD PERSON.
WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT ANYBODY.
OKAY,
LET'S GO INSIDE.
I DIDN'T EXCEPT FOR THIS TO HAVE
HAPPENED THE WAY IT HAS.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT MENTAL.
YEAH, A LITTLE BIT STRANGE.
HELLO.
HELLO.
HI.
HOW YOU DOIN?
IT WAS LONG.
HI!
HELLO.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, SHE'S ALLOWED
TO BE GRUMPY, AREN'T YOU?
I'LL BE ABSOLUTELY HONEST,
HE'S BEEN QUITE FICKLE
WITH GIRLS IN THE PAST.
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
TO FIND THE RIGHT PERSON.
IT'S JUST
A LITTLE BLANKIE.
AWW,
A BLANKET.
IT'S SO SOFT, LUCY.
THANK YOU.
FEEL, FEEL.
YEAH.
YES.
IT'S DIFFERENT
OVER THE PHONE.
YEAH, WE ALWAYS SAID
THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT...
SHE WE GO GET HER
CLEANED UP, THEN?
YEAH,
SHE NEEDS SLEEP.
OH!
I'VE MISSED YOU.
IF HE CARES FOR RACHEL
THE WAY HE SAYS HE DOES,
THEN LUCY'S PART OF THE PACKAGE.
OH, YOU GOT A SMILE.
I MEAN, HE HASN'T GOT A THING
ABOUT "I NEED TO HAVE CHILDREN,
I NEED TO HAVE A FAMILY."
SO THEIR RELATIONSHIP
IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS
THAT I DON'T GET.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT SCARY.
ABSOLUTELY,
I'M EXCITED.
MY FAMILY...
THEY'RE ALWAYS DE-LEGITIMIZING
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH RACHEL.
SHOW ME THE WAY.
I'LL SHOW YOU
THE WAY.
PART OF ME IS CONCERNED
THAT HIS MOM
MAY THINK
THAT I MIGHT BE THE WOMAN
TAKING HER SON AWAY FROM HER...
BUT IT WON'T STOP ME
FROM BEING WITH JON.
I WILL FIGHT
FOR THIS RELATIONSHIP
IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.
HERE WE GO.
SHE'S NOT MESSAGED ME
SINCE I GOT STUCK IN BANGKOK.
I HAVE NO IDEA IF HAZEL'S
GONNA BE HERE WAITING FOR ME.
I SEE A LITTLE SILHOUETTE,
MY HEART IS RACING.
YOU KIDDING ME?
WHAT THE HELL.
AFTER THE AIRLINE
LOST MY TICKET FROM BANGKOK,
I FINALLY MADE IT TO MANILA,
AND I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
AFTER EVERYTHING
THAT'S HAPPENED,
I HAVE NO IDEA IF HAZEL'S
GONNA BE HERE WAITING FOR ME.
SHE'S NOT MESSAGED ME
SINCE I GOT STUCK IN BANGKOK.
I REALLY HOPE SHE'S HERE,
AND IF SHE IS,
I REALLY HOPE
SHE'S HAPPY TO SEE ME.
THIS IS IT.
THIS IS THE MOMENT OF TRUTH.
I HOPE SHE'S ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS GATE.
IF SHE'S NOT, I'M GONNA SCREAM.
I'M GOING FOR IT.
IT WAS CRAZY.
WOW,
YOU'RE GORGEOUS.
WOW. WOW.
SHE IS A MILLION TIMES
MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN I COULD HAVE
EVER IMAGINED.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE
THIS BEAUTIFUL IN MY LIFE.
WOW.
SHE'S HERE.
IT CAN GET NO REALER
THAN THIS.
WHERE'S THE CAR?
HEY, HEY, HOW'S EVERYBODY?
OH,
THIS IS CRAZY.
YEAH,
THAT'S CRAZY.
Y'ALL ARE CRAZY,
MAN.
GEEZ,
LOOK AT YOU.
UH...
BUT...
OH.
I'M GONNA BE SAYING YOU'RE
BEAUTIFUL A MILLION TIMES.
OH, WOW.
I WANT TO ASK TARIK IF HE WENT
TO SEE HIS EX IN BANGKOK.
OH, SHE'S HERE, SHE'S HERE.
OH
I'M GONNA PASS OUT.
JUST LANDED IN COLOMBIA
TO MEET MELISSA.
AFTER 2 1/2 HOURS
WAITING AT THAT TABLE BY MYSELF,
FINALLY, SHE'S COMING.
MY HEART IS RACING AND I'M
SITTING THERE REALLY NERVOUS.
I'M LIKE HEY, THIS IS
REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
HOLY CRAP, MELISSA LOOKS
JUST LIKE THE PICTURES.
MELISSA,
SHE'S ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
I'M LIKE,
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, SHE'S ELEGANT.
I'M EXCITED.
SHE'S REAL,
SHE KEEPS SMILING.
I GUESS THAT'S A GOOD THING.
I NOTICED
THAT SHE HAD BRACES ON...
AND THAT'S NOTHING
I NOTICED BEFORE.
I THINK SHE LOOKS STUNNING
REGARDLESS.
I UNDERSTAND,
BUT YOU'RE HERE NOW.
MEANS THAT
THEY LOVE YOU.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS,
"LOVE YOU"?
THAT'S HOW I FEEL
ABOUT YOU.
OKAY?
OKAY.
OKAY.
UM...
YOUR COUNTRY,
BEAUTIFUL.
MOUNTAINS,
I LIKE IT.
I HOPE
YOU HAVE TIME
WHERE WE CAN
SEE MORE THINGS TOGETHER.
MY MOM TRAUMATIZED ME
BECAUSE SHE SAID
I DANCE LIKE A ROBOT
OR LIKE I'M BOXING.
YOU WANT
TO GET ON THE HORSE?
I FEEL LIKE MY WEIGHT IS
GONNA BREAK THE HORSE'S BACK.
ME AND MELISSA...
WE'RE HITTING IT OFF GREAT.
I MADE HER LAUGH.
I THINK I MADE
A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS
FOR TOMORROW?
OH.
OKAY.
TAXI.
I THINK, HONESTLY, MY CHARM
WON HER OVER TONIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT,
IT'S JUST YOU GET THAT VIBE.
I'M ABSOLUTELY EVEN MORE IN LOVE
WITH MELISSA.
BYE.
I JUST WANT TO KISS HER...
BUT I JUST CAN'T DO IT.
I WANT HER TO SEE
I'M A RESPECTFUL GENTLEMAN.
IT WAS WELL WORTH THE TRIP
ALREADY, AND THIS IS DAY ONE.
I COULD JUST IMAGINE WHAT
DAY SIX, SEVEN IS GONNA BE.
I BROUGHT WITH ME TODAY
MY CRIMINAL RECORD.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE I'M IN A
POLICE INTERROGATION ROOM AGAIN.
THIS IS NERVE-WRACKING.
OKAY.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME
WITH A BABY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE I'M DOING.
HEY, GUYS!
IT IS...
ANIKO AND ASPEN
ARE HERE.
SHOW ME THE WAY.
I'LL SHOW YOU
THE WAY.
A FEW HOURS AGO, ME AND LUCY
MET MY BOYFRIEND, JON,
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
IT WAS SIMPLY AMAZING.
MEETING JON'S MOM
WAS A LITTLE BIT AWKWARD.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT
OUR RELATIONSHIP IS STRANGE.
IT'S HARD FOR THEM
TO UNDERSTAND IT.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT A CRIB?
YEAH.
AWW,
BABY'S ROOM.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU HAVE EVERYTHING.
THIS IS BETTER
THAN I HAVE AT HOME.
AND YOU HAVE
A WALKER.
I AM BLOWN AWAY
BY THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT
THAT HE HAS PUT INTO
MAKING THIS FOR LUCY.
BEING A SINGLE MOM,
IT'S A LOT OF WORK.
IT IS MORE OR LESS A SECOND JOB.
SO I'VE NEVER HAD ANY TIME
TO SET UP A NURSERY.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.
IT'S HOT.
I GOT TO TAKE THIS OFF.
HI,
JUST I'M HOT.
SHE'S THERE,
YOU STILL GOT HER.
ONE SECOND,
ONE SECOND.
I'M NOT NECESSARILY WORRIED
ABOUT OVERWHELMING JON.
THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS HE WANTS.
JON HAS A LOT TO LEARN,
AND I WANT TO MAKE JON AWARE
OF WHAT HE'S IN FOR
IF HE'S PLANNING ON SPENDING
THE REST OF HIS LIFE WITH ME.
YOU WANT TO FEED HER?
SHE'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
ITS OKAY,
IT'S OKAY.
SHH.
OH, TOO MUCH.
LUCY, LUCY.
I KNOW BABIES ARE HUMAN
AND THEY HAVE PRIMARY NEEDS,
BUT THERE'S SO MUCH ABOUT BABIES
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO.
OH, SORRY.
I'M HERE,
I'M RIGHT HERE.
WAIT,
SHE'S THERE, SHE'S THERE.
LOOK,
OH, HELLO.
WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT, WAIT, STOP.
DONE. GONE.
TA-DA!
TIME FOR BURPS.
JUST ONCE.
GOT TO BE A GOOD ONE.
NO,
DON'T SQUEEZE HER.
I REALIZED I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT THE I'M DOING.
I THOUGHT LOOKING AFTER A BABY
WOULD'VE BEEN EASIER,
BUT I KIND OF FEEL
MY STRESS LEVELS RISE.
OKAY.
I THINK...
YEAH,
THE BABY MONITOR WORKS.
WHAT?
OH, YOU CAN HEAR US?
I'LL MAKE YOU A CUP OF TEA,
HOW'S THAT?
RACHEL'S ADORABLE.
BUT THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WHERE
I'VE MET SOMEONE ONLINE
WITH A BABY, AND I AM TERRIFIED.
SO HOW DOES IT FEEL?
YEAH.
LOTS TO
GET YOUR HEAD AROUND.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN MAD.
IT'S BEEN MAD.
YEAH. YEAH.
I WANT TO BE HERE TO HELP HER,
BUT I'M TERRIFIED
THAT I'M INCAPABLE
OF LOOKING AFTER A BABY.
LUCY DOESN'T HAVE A DAD,
AND I PROMISED THAT I'D ALWAYS
BE THERE FOR HER.
I'M ONLY GONNA HAVE TWO WEEKS
TO SEE IF I'M READY FOR THIS.
I DON'T KNOW.
BEFORE THEY EVEN CONSIDER
GIVING ME PERMISSION
TO MARRY THEIR DAUGHTER.
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW
ALL THE DETAILS YET.
SO, I'VE HIRED A TRANSLATOR
TO MAKE SURE
THERE'S NO MISCOMMUNICATIONS,
NO MISTRANSLATIONS.
LAST TIME I WAS IN BRAZIL,
IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT
TRYING TO COMMUNICATE
WITH HER PARENTS.
ME AND KARINE REALLY WANT
TO GET MARRIED ON THIS TRIP.
IF KARINE'S FATHER DOESN'T
APPROVE OF WHAT HE FINDS OUT,
IT WILL BE THE END
OF OUR RELATIONSHIP.
I'M OPEN TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THAT Y'ALL HAVE FOR ME.
NOW, BEING JUDGED?
NO, EVERYTHING'S DONE.
THIS HAPPENED IN 2008,
SO THIS IS WAY,
WAY, WAY, WAY BACK.
UM...
I DO REGRET
THAT ENTIRE STRETCH OF MY LIFE,
DEALING WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE,
PUTTING THAT SPIRAL
OF SITUATIONS.
I WISH I COULD GO BACK
AND I COULD CHANGE THOSE THINGS,
BUT I CAN'T.
SHE WANTS TO KNOW
A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT
THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
OKAY, UM...
I SENT HER TEXT MESSAGES
TRYING TO MAKE AMENDS...
SO, THEY ACTUALLY
ARRESTED ME OVER THIS.
I SHOULD HAVE
STOPPED TEXTING.
THIS WAS A MISTAKE,
AND I HIGHLY REGRET IT.
SHE'S ASKING
IF YOU EVER HURT SOMEONE...
SHE'S ASKING
IF YOU EVER HURT SOMEONE...
NO, NO. I'VE NEVER
LAID HANDS ON A WOMAN
OR AN ANIMAL
OR ANYTHING IN MY LIFE.
EVEN IN SELF-DEFENSE,
THE MESSAGE THAT I SENT TO HER,
NOTHING THREATENING,
NEVER HIT HER,
NEVER PUSHED HER,
NOTHING LIKE THAT.
I'M VERY EMBARRASSED
GOING THROUGH ALL THIS,
RELIVING ALL THESE
PAST MISTAKES.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE I'M IN A
POLICE INTERROGATION ROOM AGAIN.
THIS IS NERVE-WRACKING.
PEOPLE... THEY SAY
IT'S NOT SAFE TO BE WITH YOU.
THEY WANT TO KNOW
WHAT CAN YOU OFFER
AND WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
ABOUT THIS?
THAT IS THE REASON
WHY I'M HERE.
I'M HERE
FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES
TO LEARN THE CULTURE,
TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE,
TO ACTUALLY
SPEND LIFE WITH HER.
AND THAT WAY, SHE CAN FEEL SAFE
AND GET TO KNOW ME
AND SHE'LL HAVE HER FAMILY,
HER FRIENDS.
SHE'LL HAVE EVERYBODY HERE
SO SHE CAN FEEL SAFE AND SECURE.
SHE'S SAYING THAT
YOU'RE A REALLY CALM PERSON,
THAT YOU NEVER
EVEN THOUGHT
OF COMMITTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
AGAINST HER
AND THAT SAYING
THAT SHE'S TRUSTING YOU.
HE IS SAYING
THAT WE ARE ALL HUMANS
AND SOME PEOPLE
COMMIT MISTAKES
AND HE UNDERSTANDS YOU.
HE JUST WISH THAT ALL
THIS CRIMINAL THINGS ARE OVER.
I AM BLOWN AWAY.
THIS IS A HUGE RELIEF BECAUSE
WE CAN FINALLY MOVE FORWARD
WITH OUR WEDDING PLANS
IN BRAZIL.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
SHE HOPES THIS ALL GETS
LEFT BEHIND AND JUST THE FUTURE.
IT'S ALL LEFT BEHIND,
AND I'M NOW HERE WITH KARINE.
THE SAME.
YES? AWW, COME HERE.
SOMETHING SMELLS GOOD.
GETTING OLDER ISN'T ALWAYS EASY
WHEN YOU'RE WITH SOMEONE
IN THEIR 20s.
OBVIOUSLY,
YOU GET THOUGHTS LIKE,
"OH, GOSH, I'M GETTING OLDER,
YOU KNOW.
I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT."
IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A REMINDER
THAT LIFE IS SHORT.
I WOULD LOVE TO GET MARRIED
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
SO WE CAN START OUR
FUTURE TOGETHER.
DID YOU WRITE ME
A LOVE LETTER?
YES.
OH, MY GOD,
THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
"MY LOVE,
THE FIRST MOMENT I MET YOU,
I SAW
YOUR NATURAL BEAUTY.
I LOVE
LOOKING INTO YOUR EYES.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
MY TWIN FLAME."
OH, BABY,
THANK YOU.
I'M FEELING KIND OF EMOTIONAL...
I STILL DREAM OF HIM
BEING A STEP-DAD TO MY KIDS.
I'VE WAITED FOR THIS DAY
FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
NERVOUS?
I CAN'T WAIT.
YEAH,
A LITTLE BIT, YEAH.
BIRTHDAY AND MEETING THE KIDS
ALL IN ONE DAY, IT'S...
IT'S A LOT.
I HAD SOME DOUBTS
ABOUT MEETING THE KIDS.
I DON'T THINK
IT'S THE BEST TIMING NOW,
SO I NEED TO APPROACH IT VERY
DELICATELY, VERY STEP-BY-STEP.
OH
DON'T BREAK MY BONES.
THE GIRLS ARE
ON THEIR WAY FROM CONNECTICUT.
JESSE'S WAITING INSIDE
SO I CAN HAVE A QUICK MOMENT
WITH THEM FIRST.
MY DAUGHTERS ARE ONLY 11 AND 12,
SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY
FEEL TOTALLY COMFORTABLE.
HEY, GUYS!
HI, BABY.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
I'M KIND OF NERVOUS.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT AWKWARD.
AWW, YOU'RE HERE
FOR MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY!
BUT...
OKAY, LET'S DO IT!
LET'S DO IT,
COME ON, COME ON, COME ON.
LET'S GO,
LET'S GO.
HEY, JESSE.
OH, MY GOD.
ANIKO AND ASPEN ARE HERE.
THERE THEY ARE.
HELLO.
HI.
CAN YOU
TELL 'EM APART?
THAT'S ANIKO.
YES, HI.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
YOU, TOO.
AND ASPEN.
ASPEN, HELLO.
OH, MY GOD.
FINALLY.
I WAS, LIKE,
ALMOST SHAKING.
I WAS LIKE, "OH, MY GOD,
CAN IT HAPPEN ALREADY?"
MY BEAUTIFUL ANGELS.
YES.
I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE
YOU GUYS, ABSOLUTELY.
SAME.
FINALLY.
WOW, UM...
IT'S CRAZY TO KNOW THAT
AT THE POINT WHERE I AM
IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW,
TO NOW BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP
WHERE THERE IS
TWO KIDS INVOLVED.
IT'S VERY OVERWHELMING.
SO WE GOT
A BOAT TRIP PLANNED,
YOU KNOW,
FOR MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY.
YEAH?
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GO GUYS. YES?
LET'S DO IT.
OKAY.
COME ON, HONEY.
LET'S GO.
OH, I THINK WE'RE GOING.
YUP.
THERE WE GO.
YEAH!
- HERE WE GO.
- AWESOME.
HOW'S AMSTERDAM?
BUT I THINK
IT'S MORE CRAZY.
LIKE...
PEOPLE AND MADNESS.
HOW IS, LIKE,
CONNECTICUT NOW FOR YOU?
OH, IT'S FUN.
YEAH.
LIKE
NEW YORK OR LIKE AMSTERDAM,
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT I KNOW.
AND THERE'S A LOT OF FAMILY,
AS WELL, RIGHT?
YEAH.
IT'S IMPORTANT
TO KIND OF STICK TOGETHER.
LOVE AND FAMILY...
IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT.
YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW.
MY MOM... SHE LIKES HAVING
SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS,
BUT I FEEL LIKE
THEY SHOULD JUST TAKE IT SLOW...
YEAH.
ANIKO, ASPEN.
I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE,
YOU THREE.
READY?
SAY, "CHEESE!"
AWW, BEAUTIFUL.
NICE MEMORY.
LOVE IT.
LOVE YOU GUYS.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE,
ALL OF YOU.
TODAY'S BEEN SO POSITIVE,
AND IT FEELS GOOD.
IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE HE'S
COMMITTED TO THIS RELATIONSHIP.
I'M CONFIDENT
THAT WE HAVE SIMILAR DREAMS
WHEN IT COMES TO FAMILY
AND STABILITY.
WE WANT THAT TOGETHER.
TEAM DARCEY AND JESSE!
BUT I JUST WANT TO PREVENT
THAT THEY ATTACH TO ME TOO SOON
BECAUSE IT IS...
FIRST NIGHT.
IT'S BEEN
A LONG TIME COMING.
I'LL BE BACK.
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT
THERE WERE TWO BEDS.
I JUST LANDED IN THE PHILIPPINES
AND JUST MET HAZEL
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
HAZEL DIDN'T KISS ME
WHEN WE FIRST MET,
AND SHE'S DEFINITELY MORE
DISTANT THAN I THOUGHT SHE'D BE.
I HOPE SHE WARMS UP.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
REALLY?
IN BANGKOK?
YOU REALLY
THOUGHT THAT?
YEAH.
NO,
I LITERALLY...
IT'S UPSETTING THAT HAZEL THINKS
I SAW MY EX IN BANGKOK.
THAT'S OVER.
I'M HERE BECAUSE I LOVE HAZEL.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO THINK
FOR A MINUTE
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO BELIEVE HIM
BECAUSE WE ALREADY TALK ABOUT
OUR FUTURE TOGETHER.
I BOOKED A CONDO
FOR HAZEL AND I.
APPARENTLY, HER PLACE
IS TOO SMALL FOR US...
WHICH COST ME MORE MONEY,
BUT I HAD TO DO THAT
JUST TO BE WITH HER.
ALL RIGHT.
WE GOT MICROWAVE,
REFRIGERATOR,
TV,
LITTLE WORK DESK.
SO, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT
THAT THERE WERE TWO BEDS.
BECAUSE THE PICTURE
LOOKED LIKE IT.
I AGREED TO STAY AT THIS CONDO
BECAUSE HE SAID
THE CONDO HAS TWO BEDS.
IT'S TOO SOON TO SLEEP
WITH ONE BED.
NO, YOU'RE NOT SLEEPING
ON THE...
THAT'S OKAY,
I CAN...
BAM,
COUPLE OF PILLOWS.
LOOK.
WATCH, NO, WATCH.
I GOT ENOUGH ROOM.
IT'S ALL GOOD.
I CAN CRACK THE TOES
AND EVERYTHING.
I JUST WANT YOU
TO BE COMFORTABLE.
I'M NOT TRYING TO
MAKE YOU FEEL WEIRD OR AWKWARD.
OH, SO THIS
WILL SEPARATE US?
OKAY, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO FORCE ME.
THIS IS MY SIDE.
YUP, YUP,
MUCH BETTER.
KNOCK, KNOCK.
NO ROBE.
PUSH THAT OVER HERE.
I'M AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA BE
VERY COMFORTABLE WITH ME,
BUT SHE WANTS
A BARRIER BETWEEN US.
SO THERE WILL BE A BARRIER.
THIS IS OUR FIRST NIGHT
AS A COUPLE.
WE ARE NOT
CYBER PEOPLE ANYMORE.
I'M GONNA
RESPECT THE BORDER,
BUT YOU GOT
TO SMOOCH ME.
I'LL SETTLE FOR THAT.
SO...
YOU WANT
TO SLEEP NOW?
YEAH.
OKAY.
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE SEX
WITH HIM NOW.
I WANT TO... MARRY FIRST.
I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED,
AND I'M TIRED, TOO.
IT'S BEEN A LONG ONE.
I CAME TO THE PHILIPPINES
WITH AN ENGAGEMENT RING
FOR HAZEL.
I WANT TO SPEND
THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH HER,
BUT I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO READ HER RIGHT NOW.
I REALLY JUST HOPE THAT
SHE HASN'T BEEN PLAYING ME
THIS WHOLE TIME.
WHY?
I DON'T KNOW WHY
THEY MAKE IT LIKE THAT.
MEETING JON FOR THE FIRST TIME
WAS WONDERFUL.
HE IS DIFFERENT FROM
THE AMERICAN MEN THAT I'VE DATED
BECAUSE HE PUTS EVERYBODY
BEFORE HIM.
BUT JON DOESN'T KNOW
TOO MUCH ABOUT BABIES.
HE HASN'T HAD A LOT
OF FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCES.
OKAY.
OKAY.
SHE COULD BE REALLY HAPPY.
I KIND OF FEEL STRESS.
I'M FEELING ANXIOUS
ABOUT OUR FIRST NIGHT.
IT'S OUR FIRST TIME TOGETHER.
IF SHE WERE TO SCREAM AND CRY
THE ENTIRE TIME,
IT COULD DEFINITELY
RUIN THE CHEMISTRY.
HI.
HELLO.
I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS.
THE LAST TIME I HAD SEX,
I GOT PREGNANT.
MY BODY ISN'T THE SAME
AS IT USED TO BE.
I'VE ONLY GIVEN BIRTH
EIGHT MONTHS AGO,
AND I AM VERY INSECURE
WITH BODY IMAGE.
I JUST HOPE THAT JON
HAS NOT BUILT UP
SOME UNREALISTIC EXPECTATION
OF WHO HE MAY THINK THAT I AM.
I'VE WAITED A LONG TIME
TO SLEEP NEXT TO RACHEL.
I'M NERVOUS BECAUSE
I THINK CHEMISTRY
TAKES A LITTLE BIT LONGER
TO DEVELOP.
AND, UM...
THIS IS EITHER GONNA BE AMAZING
OR IT'S GONNA BE A DISASTER.
FIRST NIGHT.
IT'S BEEN
A LONG TIME COMING.
I'LL BE BACK.
QUIETLY.
HE'S LIKE A NERVOUS
FIRST-TIME PARENT.
NOW I'M A NERVOUS
SECOND-TIME PARENT.
I SHOULD PROBABLY CHECK ON THAT.
OR SHOULD I LEAVE IT?
I'LL LEAVE IT.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD
TO THIS MOMENT
FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE CHEMISTRY
THAT WE IMAGINED WE WOULD HAVE
FOR SO LONG,
IT WOULD BE VERY SAD
TO THINK THAT
WE DIDN'T HAVE
WHAT WE THOUGHT WE HAD.
YOU WANT ME
TO PUT FOUNDATION ON?
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING
AT ME FUNNY, MICHAEL.
WHEW, LAST NIGHT WITH MICHAEL
WAS, UH...
IT WAS AWESOME!
BANG.
I LOVE YOU TOO, BABY.
YES, I'M EXCITED.
OKAY, BABY.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S GET READY.
OKAY.
TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO
MICHAEL'S NEIGHBORHOOD
TO MEET HIS MOM
AND SOME OF HIS FRIENDS.
I'M NERVOUS MEETING
HIS MOM, I MEAN...
WHO WOULDN'T BE?
THAT'S MY POTENTIAL
MOTHER-IN-LAW, AND...
I'M 52. HE'S 30.
OH, MY GOD,
WHAT IS SHE THINKING ABOUT IT?
LIKE, JUST EXAMINE HER.
YOU WANT ME
TO PUT FOUNDATION ON?
OR YOU WANT ME
TO JUST DO MY EYES?
JUST DO IT.
MAKE IT, I MEAN...
OVER HERE?
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT ME FUNNY,
MICHAEL.
I'M FRICKIN' NERVOUS.
EVERYBODY'S LOOKING AT ME.
IS IT 'CAUSE I'M WHITE OR...
IS IT 'CAUSE I'M OLDER?
ALL THESE THINGS
ARE GOING THROUGH MY HEAD
AND I STILL GOT TO MEET MOM,
SO I'M VERY NERVOUS.
'CAUSE IF SHE DOESN'T
APPROVE OF ME,
I DON'T KNOW WHERE
THIS RELATIONSHIP WILL GO.
LET'S GO.
NEXT TIME ON
"BEFORE THE 90 DAYS"...
SO YOU WANT
TO DO THIS?
I HAVEN'T SPOKEN WITH MY MOTHER.
SHE'S GONNA FREAK OUT.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
GOING AND GETTING MARRIED.
YOU'RE NOT READY.
HAZEL'S MOTHER AND FATHER
ARE ON THE FLOOR.
THERE ARE PEOPLE SHOUTING,
SCREAMING, CRYING.
LIKE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF.
HER BEHAVIOR RIGHT NOW IS CRAZY.
MAYBE I'LL JUST WALK FULLY AWAY.
EVENTUALLY, SHE'S GONNA
START CALLING ME MAMA
AND YOU DADA, PAPA.
I KIND OF FEEL LIKE
IT WOULD BE WRONG.
I AM ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED.
I'LL BE
STOP.
I'VE BEEN WALKING AROUND
ALL DAY.
NO MELISSA.
I'M GETTING TIRED OF THIS CRAP.
I WAS NAIVE TO THINK
THAT WE HAD SOMETHING REAL.
