90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days (2017–…): Season 4, Episode 2 - Great Expectations - full transcript

PREVIOUSLY ON
"BEFORE THE 90 DAYS"...

SINCE I'VE MET ROSE,
I HAVE BEEN DYING MY HAIR,

AND MAYONNAISE
MAKES IT SMOOTHER.

I AM SELF‐CONSCIOUS
OF MY PHYSICAL APPEARANCE.

WHAT IF YOU SEE ME
AND YOU RUN AWAY?

DO YOU FEEL LIKE HE KNOWS
THE RIGHT THING TO SAY TO YOU?

ALL THE TIME. HE'S PERFECT.
YEAH.

I LOVE YOU, BABY.
YOU LOOK REALLY FREAKING SEXY.

I JUST DON'T WANT YOU
TO MAKE ANOTHER MISTAKE.

THIS GIRL IS NOT LIKE THE REST
OF THE GIRLS THAT I'VE DATED.

WHY RUSSIA? WHY ARE YOU EVEN
GOING THERE, INSTEAD OF HERE?



2 FEET FROM YOU.
WHY AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

I THINK HE'S
A LITTLE BLIND. YEAH.

WE WILL BE MARRIED OVER THERE
IN NIGERIA.

WHAT IS HE ‐‐ A RAPPER,
SINGER, WHATEVER?

BUT HE'S BEEN FAITHFUL
FOR TWO YEARS?

MM‐HMM.
HE COULD TELL YOU ANYTHING,

WHATEVER HE FEELS
LIKE YOU NEED TO HEAR.

I MET SOMEBODY ONLINE.

‐ONLINE?
‐ONLINE?

I DID NOT THINK I WOULD
FIND LOVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

SHE'S NEVER FaceTimed HIM.

HIS PHONE IS BROKE, GUYS.

IT'S JUST TOO FISHY
TO ME.

I JUST WANT Y'ALL
TO BE HAPPY FOR ME.



CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

‐BOYS?
‐YEAH?

‐LET'S ROLL.
‐OKAY.

TODAY I'M GOING TO RUSSIA
TO MEET MY GIRLFRIEND, VARYA,

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER.

VARYA IS 30 YEARS OLD.

SHE'S STUNNING.

SHE'S VERY LOVING AND DRIVEN.

AND I MET HER ONLINE
ROUGHLY FIVE MONTHS AGO.

I THINK THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

THIS INSTANT, UTTER
CONNECTION IN PERSON.

YOU KNOW HOW
TO GET THERE, RIGHT?

YEAH.

LIKE, HOW ARE YOU GENUINELY
FEELING ABOUT THE TRIP?

I'M ‐‐ I'M NERVOUS.

I REALLY WANT THINGS
TO WORK OUT.

YOU AND US BOTH.

THE LAST FEW YEARS, I'VE GONE
THROUGH SO MUCH HEARTACHE.

MY LAST MARRIAGE ENDED,

AND MY SON KAZHEM PASSED AWAY.

HE WAS JUST A YEAR
AND A MONTH OLD WHEN HE DIED.

I'LL NEVER GET OVER IT,

BUT I THINK OVERALL,
I DESERVE HAPPINESS.

I OWE IT TO MYSELF,
AND I REALLY HOPE

THAT VARYA CAN HELP ME
WITH FINDING HAPPINESS.

THIS WHOLE SITUATION
IS BASED ON

REALLY NEEDING SOMETHING
POSITIVE IN MY LIFE,

HAVING SOMEBODY BY MY SIDE

AND TO SHARE THESE EXPERIENCES
OF LIFE WITH ME AND WHATNOT.

THIS IS JUST REALLY,
REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME.

I MEAN, IN THE GRAND SCHEME
OF THINGS, IT MAY BE SHORT,

BUT WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU'RE REALLY SURE OF SOMETHING,

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE JUST
GOT TO GO WITH IT.

TRAVEL HALFWAY
ACROSS THE WORLD.

IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.

I DON'T KNOW.

HE HASN'T REALLY BEEN
TALKING TO HER LONG,

AND HE'S GOING HEADFIRST,
DIVING IN,

AND GOING TO RUSSIA

SAYING, "HEY, WE'RE GOING
TO GET MARRIED."

IT SOUNDS LIKE IT COMES OUT
OF A STORYBOOK. IT'S FANTASY.

TO JUST HAVE ALL THIS TRUST
IN THIS ONE THING,

IT'S SCARY.

I DON'T HAVE A PLAN "B."
THIS IS MY BASKET.

THESE ARE MY EGGS, SO I HOPE
SHE TAKES CARE OF MY EGGS.

ALRIGHT?

WHAT KIND OF PLANS DO YOU HAVE?

I'M GOING TO MEET HER FRIENDS.
I'M GOING TO MEET HER MOM.

I'M GOING TO ‐‐
GOOD LUCK WITH THE MOM.

I HOPE
I CAN HANDLE THAT WELL.

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS
THAT COULD GO WRONG IN RUSSIA.

WHAT IF WE DON'T
HAVE CHEMISTRY?

YOU KNOW, WHAT IF SHE'S NOT THE
PERSON THAT I THOUGHT SHE WAS?

I'M REALLY WORRIED THAT VARYA
WILL NOT ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM

ONCE SHE FINDS OUT
EVERYTHING ABOUT ME...

BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN
COMPLETELY HONEST WITH VARYA

ABOUT MY PAST.

GROWING UP, WE WERE POOR.

IT WAS RELATIVELY HIT OR MISS

WE'D HAVE FOOD
IN THE HOUSE EVEN,

SO I STARTED DEALING DRUGS.

I WAS EVENTUALLY CAUGHT.

I WAS SENTENCED
TO 30 MONTHS IN PRISON.

I'M NOT PROUD OF MY PAST.
I'M NOT.

BUT IT IS MY PAST,
AND I HAVE TO ACCEPT IT.

I JUST HOPE THAT SHE WILL.

CAN YOU GET THE TRUNK?

YEAH. OH, HE'S GOT IT.

YOU'RE GOING TO CALL?

I'M GOING TO CALL
AS MUCH AS I CAN.

JUST REALLY BE SAFE
AND KIND OF WATCH YOURSELF.

WELL, SEE YOU LATER.

IT'LL BE ALRIGHT.

WE'LL SEE YA.

YEAH. ALRIGHT.

‐OH, GOSH.
‐OKEY‐DOKEY.

SEE YOU, POPS.

OH, MY GOSH.

HE'S GOING ACROSS THE WORLD

TO JUST HAVE ALL THIS TRUST
IN THIS ONE THING.

WHAT IS SHE'S NOT
IN THIS FOR HIM?

SHE'S IN THIS FOR MAYBE
GETTING HERE OR...

MONEY.
FOR SOME OTHER REASON,

MONEY,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

HE WOULD BE
ABSOLUTELY BROKEN.

‐HI.
‐HI. WHERE YOU GOING TODAY?

MOSCOW.

ALRIGHT. HERE ARE
YOUR BOARDING PASSES.

AWESOME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I AM A BIT NERVOUS.

THE BIGGEST THING I'M PUTTING
ON THE LINE IS MY HEART.

AFTER EVERYTHING
I'VE GONE THROUGH,

I NEED THIS TO WORK OUT.

I NEED SOMETHING POSITIVE
IN MY LIFE.

I'M READY TO GET OUT THERE.

IT'S DEFINITELY A DARCEY DRESS,
THAT'S FOR SURE.

I LOVE THE TRAIN.

THIS IS THE ONE.

IT'S LIKE WEARING
A MILLION DIAMONDS.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

ACCENTUATES THE BODY,
AND THEN JUST FLARES OUT.

I'LL SPREAD YOU OUT HERE.

VERY SEXY, ELEGANT.

MIGHT HAVE TO FIX THE GIRLS
A LITTLE BIT.

MY NAME IS DARCEY.
I'M 45 YEARS OLD,

AND I'M FROM MIDDLETOWN,
CONNECTICUT.

SO THEN YOU COULD TAKE THIS OFF
AT THE RECEPTION.

THAT IS CORRECT.
YEAH.

SO YOU'D GET ALL THOSE WOWS
AND YOUR PICTURES.

HAVE YOUR FIRST DANCE.

OH, YES.

I AM A ROMANTIC,
AND I'LL TAKE A RISK FOR LOVE.

AS KIDS, WE TRAVELED
ALL OVER THE WORLD.

SO SOMETHING ABOUT
A FOREIGN GUY, IT FEELS RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO KEEP
YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE

UNTIL YOU ACHIEVE WHAT YOU WANT.

BUT I FEEL LIKE THE
RELATIONSHIPS THAT I HAVE HAD,

SOME WERE A BLESSING.

SOME WERE LIKE A CURSE.

MY EX BOYFRIEND JESSE
WAS FROM AMSTERDAM.

HE WAS 18 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME,
AND I MET HIM ONLINE.

WE WERE IN A LONG‐DISTANCE
RELATIONSHIP FOR TWO YEARS,

BUT IT WAS VERY TOXIC,
VERY STRAINED.

IT WASN'T RIGHT.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

HOW LONG?
YEAH, YOU NEED TO GO.

YOU DON'T LOVE ME.
YOU NEVER DID, YOU LIAR!

GET OUT OF MY LIFE!

WHEN MY RELATIONSHIP STARTED
TO SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL

WITH JESSE, IT WAS A RELIEF

TO OPEN UP
TO A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.

TOM IS 39 YEARS OLD,

AND HE LIVES IN
NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND.

WE MET ONLINE, AS WELL,
AND HE'S A PERFECT GENTLEMAN.

DASHING AND CHARMING.

OUR FRIENDSHIP TURNED
INTO SOMETHING MORE ROMANTIC,

AND BEFORE I KNEW IT, I WAS
BOARDING A PLANE TO THE U. K.

TO MEET MY SEXY JAMES BOND.

HI. OH, MY GOD.

HI.

IT WAS A LOT
OF BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS.

OH, MY GOSH.
THIS IS AMAZING.

WHY ARE YOU GETTING
TEARY‐EYED?

IT'S JUST THE WIND.
IT'S FINE.

BUT THERE WERE ALSO SOME MOMENTS
THAT LEFT ME QUESTIONING THINGS.

I DON'T KNOW IF HE DOES.

WHY DO YOU THINK
I DON'T LOVE YOU?

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE
I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU.

BUT BY THE END OF THE TRIP,

WE MANAGED TO GET THINGS
BACK ON TRACK.

WHAT I'D LIKE TO OFFER YOU
IS THE KEY TO MY HOUSE,

AND YOU CAN COME AND GO
AS YOU PLEASE.

I LOVE YOU.

SHE'S ALREADY GONE,
AND I'M KIND OF MISSING HER.

I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO RUN
BACK IN AND SAY GOODBYE, OKAY?

HEY.

AND I LITERALLY FELT
SWEPT OFF MY FEET.

IT FELT LIKE A MOVIE.

IT FELT LIKE THAT PERFECT MOMENT
I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF.

I FINALLY FELT TRUE LOVE.

THAT'S WHY IT HURTS SO MUCH
WHEN WE DRIFTED APART

WHEN I GOT BACK TO THE U. S.

BUT WHEN TOM CAME TO NEW YORK
FOR THE TELL‐ALL,

WE DECIDED TO GIVE
OUR RELATIONSHIP ANOTHER GO.

IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

BUT I AM NOT TRYING ON
THIS DRESS FOR A WEDDING.

I'M JUST HERE FOR BUSINESS.

WOW. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

LIKE A PRINCESS.

I LOVE IT.

MY TWIN SISTER STACEY AND I

CO‐FOUNDED OUR CLOTHING BRAND
CALLED HOUSE OF ELEVEN

IN HONOR OF OUR BELOVED
BROTHER MICHAEL,

WHO HAD PASSED AWAY FROM
A VERY RARE FORM OF CANCER.

WE CALLED IT HOUSE OF ELEVEN

BECAUSE HE WAS BORN MAY 11th
AND PASSED JULY 11th,

SO IT'S IN HIS MEMORY.

AND IT'S A WOMEN‐EMPOWERMENT,

GOOD‐FEELING COLLECTION
OF CLOTHING,

AND WE'RE THINKING
OF GOING INTO BRIDAL.

IT'S REALLY PRETTY,
BUT I WOULD MAYBE DO SOMETHING

A LITTLE BIT LOWER IN THE BACK.

MAYBE WE CAN
DESIGN SOMETHING

THAT'S INSPIRED
BY BOTH OF OUR IDEAS.

ONE COULD BE FIT AND FLARE.
ONE COULD BE MERMAID

OR BALL GOWN,
BUT THE SAME FABRIC.

SO IT'S LIKE A TWIN VERSION,
BUT A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

IMAGINE IF WE HAD
A TWIN WEDDING.

I MEAN, I KNOW
YOU'RE ENGAGED, BUT ‐‐

IN ALL GOOD TIME, DARCE.

I'M NOT RUSHING IT.
I KNOW.

STACEY'S ENGAGED AND I'M NOT,

BUT WHY NOT ENJOY
THE TWIN MOMENT?

I MEAN, MY TIME WILL COME.

‐I FEEL INSPIRED.
‐ME, TOO.

THAT'S GOOD. MMM.

SO, WE GOT TO START
SOURCING FABRIC.

YEAH, I THINK WE SHOULD DO
MAYBE DARCEY STYLES,

STACEY STYLES.
YES. ALRIGHT.

SO I'M READY TO BE INSPIRED AND
PUT MY MONEY WHERE MY MOUTH IS.

CHEERS TO THAT.
CHEERS TO THAT, YEAH.

SO, UM...

HOW IS EVERYTHING ELSE GOING?
HAVE YOU HEARD FROM TOM?

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH HIM.

I'M NOT QUITE SURE
HOW TO GAUGE IT RIGHT NOW.

HE SAID HE WANTED
TO GIVE IT ANOTHER GO,

BUT ONCE HE WENT BACK
TO THE U. K.,

IT'S BEEN VERY DISTANT.

SO, I MEAN,
WHAT'S HIS EXCUSE?

THAT HE'S BEEN BUSY,
HE'S IN MEETINGS,

HE'S JET‐SETTING,
TRAVELING.

I KNOW LONG‐DISTANCE ISN'T EASY,

BUT I SEE PEOPLE ALL AROUND ME
MAKING IT WORK,

AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S GOING ON

OR WHAT I'M DOING WRONG.
MAYBE I'M JUST BEING TOO NEEDY.

I MEAN, IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY,

AND ALL I GOT WAS
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEXT.

THAT WAS IT.

IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY LAST WEEK.

THERE WAS NO CALL,

NO CARD, NO NOTHING.

IT MADE ME FEEL SAD
AND UNLOVED.

HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO CALL.

IT'S OKAY.

IT'S JUST A BIRTHDAY.

AND THAT'S THE LAST TIME
YOU'VE HEARD FROM HIM?

ACTUALLY, HE TEXTED.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

HE WROTE, "HI, DARCEY.
APOLOGIES.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE.
WOULD LOVE TO TALK.

I HAVE SOMETHING
I NEED TO ASK YOU.

ARE YOU FREE FOR A VIDEO CALL?
TOM, X."

RIGHT NOW,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK

ABOUT DARCEY AND TOM'S
RELATIONSHIP.

IN ALBANIA, I THOUGHT
HE WAS A NICE GUY,

BUT HIS ACTIONS
ARE PROVING OTHERWISE.

HE SOUNDS LIKE
HE'S PLAYING GAMES.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
SHE DESERVES BETTER,

AND I THINK SHE SHOULD MOVE ON.

I JUST WANT
THAT LOVE BACK.

I WANT THAT RESPECT
AND THAT PASSION

AND THAT FEELING,
LIKE SWEPT OFF MY FEET AGAIN.

RIGHT.

I WILL GIVE HIM A SHOT,
BUT THAT'S IT.

IT'S THE LAST SHOT.

YEAH.
OTHERWISE, IT'S DONE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TOM WANTS.

MAYBE THERE'S THINGS

THAT HE FEELS LIKE
HE HASN'T SAID OR DONE

TO MAKE ME FEEL LOVED
IN THIS RELATIONSHIP.

ALL I REALLY WANT TO KNOW
IN THE END IS WHAT'S GOING ON,

BUT I ALSO DON'T WANT
TO FEEL USED OR MANIPULATED

OR PLAYED FOR A FOOL.

HER SISTER TEXTED ME THE
OTHER NIGHT ASKING ME FOR MONEY.

I WAS REALLY SHOCKED WHEN I GOT
THE MESSAGE FROM ROSE'S SISTER.

I DON'T WANT THIS
TO BE A SHAKEDOWN.

DO NOT SEND MONEY.

I'M IN LOVE.
OH, MY GOSH.

ARE YOU THERE?
I'M HERE.

SOMEBODY CALLED YOU.
WAS IT A FEMALE?

DON'T ACT UP, THEN.

I'M LEAVING IN TWO DAYS
TO GO TO NIGERIA

TO MEET MY FIANCé, USMAN.

AND I AM SO EXCITED.

THAT'LL DO IT.

I MET USMAN ON FACEBOOK
TWO YEARS AGO.

HOPEFULLY
IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL,

I WILL BE MARRYING HIM

AND THEN BRING HIM BACK
TO THE UNITED STATES

ON THE SPOUSAL VISA.

HEY, BABY LOVE.

BABY LOVE.

YOU KNOW
IT'S GETTING CLOSE?

YES.

OH.

USMAN THINKS I'M BEING
TOO OVERBEARING,

TOO JEALOUS OVER HIS FANS.

BUT HE'S A CELEBRITY.
HE'S A RAPPER.

AND I'VE BEEN CHEATED ON BEFORE,

AND I KNOW THAT PAIN,

AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE
TO GO THROUGH THAT WITH USMAN.

BUT WHEN I GET TO KADUNA,
I WANT TO GO TO THE STUDIO.

YES, I WANT TO SEE THAT.

WHAT?

BEING IN A LONG‐DISTANCE
RELATIONSHIP,

IT IS HARD TO TRUST.

IT'S BEEN BROUGHT
TO MY ATTENTION

WHILE USMAN IS
IN THE STUDIO WORKING,

THAT THERE CAN BE FEMALES
IN THE STUDIO WITH HIM.

IT CONCERNS ME BECAUSE
THE TEMPTATION'S THERE.

I'VE PUT TWO YEARS IN
WITH THIS MAN.

I DON'T NEED SOME FEMALE
COMING IN

AND MESSING UP
WHAT HIM AND I HAVE CREATED.

THAT'S WHY I WANT US TO BE
MARRIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,

SO EVERYONE KNOWS HE HAS A WIFE.

I'M GOING TO STICK OUT
LIKE A SORE THUMB.

I'M GOING TO BE A FLAG.

THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, "WHO
IS THIS WHITE WOMAN HE'S WITH?"

ARE YOU ALLOWED TO HOLD
MY HAND IN PUBLIC?

YOU'VE BEEN DOING
INDECENT

THAT SHE DON'T KNOW ABOUT.
IS THAT MY FAULT?

MY RELIGION IS CHRISTIANITY.

USMAN'S IS MUSLIM.

BUT HIS MOTHER WANTS USMAN

TO BE MARRIED
TO A MUSLIM‐NIGERIAN WOMAN.

MY BIGGEST FEAR
IS THAT SHE REFUSES

TO GIVE HER BLESSINGS
FOR OUR MARRIAGE.

YOU TOLD ME IF I GO
TO THE MARKET,

GIVE HER THE GOAT,
THAT I WOULD GET HER BLESSINGS.

YEAH.

BACK UP.
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

I'M STARTING
TO GET NERVOUS.

YOUR CONNECTION'S PAUSED.

ARE YOU THERE?
I'M HERE.

OKAY.
SOMEBODY CALLED YOU.

WAS IT A FEMALE?

SPEAKING OF WHICH,
BABY LOVE.

BECAUSE YOU'RE SO POPULAR,
WHEN I COME,

I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE 100 PEOPLE
SURROUNDING US ALL DAY LONG.

I DON'T WANT ALL YOUR FRIENDS
GATHERING EVERY DAY AT US.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONDITIONS
WE TALKED ABOUT.

WHEN I ARRIVED, YOU'RE TO BE
BY MY SIDE 24 HOURS.

WHEN I GET TO NIGERIA,

I DO EXPECT HIS ATTENTION
TO BE ON ME,

NOT HIS FRIENDS, NOT HIS FANS.

I EXPECT MY TIME
TO BE QUALITY TIME.

HE WILL HAVE
AN ENTOURAGE OF ONE.

ME.

IN A FEW DAYS, I'M GETTING READY
TO GET ON A PLANE

TO GO SEE ROSE,

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE,
IN THE PHILIPPINES.

I MET HER
THREE MONTHS AGO ONLINE.

SHE HAD ME WITH HER BIG,
BROWN, BEAUTIFUL EYES.

SHE STOLE MY HEART,
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HER.

BUT BEFORE I DO THAT,
I NEED TO GO INTO WORK

AND TIE UP A FEW LOOSE ENDS.

HEY. HOW'S IT GOING?
HEY.

OH, TEDDY BEAR!

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

TEDDY BEAR.

I HAVE TWO JOBS.

SO, WHEN I'M NOT
DOING PHOTOGRAPHY,

I'M ALSO A TRAINED
INTERIOR DESIGNER.

KARA, YOU GOT A MINUTE?
YEAH, SURE.

YEAH. CAN WE?
YEAH.

I HAVE KNOWN ED
FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS NOW.

HE'S NOT ONLY A COWORKER.

HE'S ALSO A REALLY
GOOD FRIEND OF MINE.

BOY, YOU LOOK NICE TODAY.
THANK YOU.

SO DO I.

ED TOLD ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT ROSE.

I'VE SEEN HER FACE‐CHAT WITH ED.

SHE IS SWEET.
I CAN GIVE HER THAT,

BUT I JUST WISH
I KNEW MORE ABOUT HER.

SO, WHEN ARE YOU GOING
TO THE PHILIPPINES?

I ALREADY BOUGHT A TICKET.

AND WHERE
ARE YOU STAYING?

AT HER HOUSE.

WITH HER FAMILY?

WELL, SO,

HER AND HER SISTER
SHARE A SMALL HOUSE.

THERE'S A RETAIL STORE
IN THE FRONT,

AND THEN SHE HAS A ROOM
IN THE BACK,

AND HER SISTER HAS A ROOM
IN THE BACK, SO...

DO YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU'RE GOING, EXACTLY?

I DON'T. I KNOW IT'S THREE HOURS
NORTH OF MANILA.

THREE HOURS NORTH
IS LIKE A SMALL VILLAGE.

MY MOM'S
FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

THEY PROBABLY WON'T HAVE
PLUMBING THERE.

WHAT?
YEAH. SOME HOMES,

YOU TAKE SHOWERS
JUST OUT OF THE BUCKET.

WHAT?
IT'S SO HUMID.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE SWEATING.

YOU NEED TO GET SHOTS.
LIKE, THERE'S DENGUE.

THAT'S FROM MOSQUITOES.
MAYBE MALARIA, HEP‐ "B."

DEFINITELY MAKE SURE
YOU'RE UP TO DATE ON YOUR SHOTS.

THEY HAVE FLYING
COCKROACHES, TOO.

DO YOU KNOW?
WHAT?

THEY HAVE COCKROACHES
OVER THERE, BUT THEY FLY.

ARE YOU READY FOR THAT?

AND YOU ARE VERY SENSITIVE
TO FOOD, AS WELL.

THAT'S WHY I SENT
THE DAD A GRILL.

HAVE YOU SENT HER
OTHER GIFTS?

OH, YEAH.

HOW MUCH MONEY
HAVE YOU SPENT ON GIFTS?

GIFTS AND SHIPPING,

I PROBABLY HAVE SPENT
5 GRAND.

$5,000 IN GIFTS?

AND SHIPPING.
SHIPPING IS MORE THAN GIFTS.

AND HOW LONG
HAVE YOU KNOWN HER?

THREE MONTHS.
THREE MONTHS,

AND YOU'VE SPENT
$5,000 IN GIFTS?

MY BONUS.

DOES THAT SOUND NORMAL
TO YOU?

WELL, NOT
THE WAY YOU SAY IT.

ED IS SUCH AN OPTIMIST.
IT'S UNREAL.

HE DOESN'T REALLY LOOK
AT THE NEGATIVE SIDE AT ALL.

HE'S REALLY PUTTING
HIS HEART OUT ON THE LINE,

AND MY MAIN CONCERN
IS THAT SHE IS USING HIM.

SHE'S NEVER
ASKED ME FOR MONEY.

I HAVEN'T SENT HER
ONE DIME.

BUT...

HER SISTER TEXTED ME
THE OTHER NIGHT.

AND SHE BASICALLY SAID,
YOU KNOW, "I NEED HELP.

MY STORE'S GOING TO CLOSE,"

AND SHE'S ASKING ME
FOR MONEY.

OH, MY GOSH.

DO NOT SEND MONEY.

I WAS REALLY SHOCKED WHEN I GOT
THE MESSAGE FROM ROSE'S SISTER

ASKING ME FOR MONEY.

IT MADE ME REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE.

I SAID, "WELL,
WHY DO YOU NEED MONEY?

YOU KNOW, I'M GOING
TO BE THERE SOON.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT
WHEN I GET THERE."

AND SHE'S LIKE, "NO, NO.

YOU NEED TO SEND THE MONEY
RIGHT AWAY."

AND SHE ASKED ME
NOT TO TELL ROSE.

I DON'T WANT THIS
TO BE A SHAKEDOWN.

MY BIGGEST FEAR IS
THAT ROSE IS INVOLVED.

AND IF SHE IS, IT'S GOING
TO BE A SAD, SAD DAY FOR ME.

HAVE YOU TALKED TO ROSE
ABOUT THIS?

NO WAY.

I HAVE NOT
THOUGHT ABOUT A LOT,

'CAUSE I'M IN LOVE AND ‐‐

THAT'S WHY YOU NEED TO TAKE
A STEP BACK A LITTLE BIT

AND LOOK AT
THE BIGGER PICTURE.

I UNDERSTAND WHY MY FRIENDS AND
FAMILY ARE SKEPTICAL OF ROSE.

I GET THAT.

THERE'S A LOT OF REASONS
WHY I SHOULDN'T GO,

BUT IN MY HEART,
I KNOW I HAVE TO,

AND I PRAY TO GOD
THAT ROSE IS MY SOUL MATE.

I JUST HOPE
I'M NOT MAKING A MISTAKE.

ONE OF YOUR CLIENTS
WAS TRYING TO INSINUATE,

LIKE, "YOU MUST HAVE
A BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND,"

BUT YOU NEVER EVEN EXPRESSED
THAT YOU DID HAVE ONE.

THERE WERE THINGS
THAT DID MAKE ME QUESTION

ASH'S COMMITMENT
TO OUR RELATIONSHIP.

IT JUST WORRIES ME.

I LEFT MY NATIVE CITY
IN SIBERIA...

IN A COUPLE OF DAYS,
I AM LEAVING TO AUSTRALIA

TO MEET ASH FACE‐TO‐FACE
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

HE LIVES IN MELBOURNE,
AUSTRALIA.

HE'S ACTUALLY ORIGINALLY
FROM MAURITIUS,

A SMALL ISLAND
OFF THE COAST OF AFRICA.

I CANNOT WAIT
TO BE WITH ASH IN PERSON.

I DO BELIEVE
THAT HE IS MY SOUL MATE.

HI, SWEETHEART.
HI, BABE.

AWW, THANK YOU, BABE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING TO SEE
YOU, LIKE, FOR THE FIRST TIME.

YOU'RE NOT WORRIED
ABOUT BEING IN MY PRESENCE

LIKE ALL THE TIME, 24/7?

ASH DOES KNOW
ALL THE RIGHT THINGS TO SAY,

BECAUSE HE'S
A RELATIONSHIP COACH.

SOMETIMES I WONDER
IF HE'S BEING GENUINE

OR IF HE'S JUST TELLING ME
WHAT I WANT TO HEAR

BECAUSE HE KNOWS
WHAT I WANT TO HEAR.

HI, TAJ. HOW ARE YOU?

ASH HAS A 10‐YEAR‐OLD SON
NAMED TAJ.

HE'S BEEN MARRIED BEFORE
AND DIVORCED.

HE SHARES CUSTODY OF HIS SON
WITH HIS EX‐WIFE, SIAN.

WHAT IS THAT IN YOUR HAND?
ARE YOU PLAYING FOOTBALL?

YEAH.

I AM SO EXCITED TO MEET TAJ,
AND I AM EVEN MORE EXCITED

TO REALLY SEE HOW ASH
FATHERS HIS SON IN PERSON.

ASH AND I BOTH HAVE CHILDREN,

AND WE BOTH WANT TO BE ABLE
TO BLEND OUR FAMILIES TOGETHER.

HE DOES WANT TO MOVE
TO AMERICA WITH TAJ.

BYE, TAJ.
I'M GOING TO SEE YOU SOON.

OH, MY GOSH. HE IS SO CUTE.

WHAT ABOUT HIS MOM, SIAN?
LIKE HOW DOES SHE FEEL?

WHAT IF TAJ WANTED TO COME
TO AMERICA LIKE FULL‐TIME?

AS A MOM, I WOULD HAVE
A REALLY HARD TIME

WITH MY CHILD GOING

ALL THE WAY ACROSS
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.

AM I GOING TO BE ABLE
TO MEET SIAN?

IF MY CHILD WERE TO BE TAKEN
ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE

OF THE WORLD, THAT WOULD BE
COMPLETELY DEVASTATING FOR ME.

AND SO IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR ME

TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH SIAN

AND REALLY GAUGE HOW
SHE FEELS ABOUT THE SITUATION.

I KIND OF REMEMBER
YOU TALKING ABOUT IT BEFORE,

BUT, LIKE, WHY DID
YOUR GUYS' MARRIAGE END?

WELL, I MEAN, LIKE,

I FEEL LIKE YOU AND I ARE GOING
TO HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES, TOO.

DO YOU SEE THAT BECOMING
AN ISSUE BETWEEN US,

THAT WE HAVE
OUR DIFFERENCES?

YEAH, WE'VE BROKEN UP
LIKE, A FEW TIMES.

WELL, I'VE BROKEN UP WITH YOU
A FEW TIMES.

IN THE BEGINNING
OF OUR RELATIONSHIP,

THERE WERE THINGS
THAT HAPPENED WITH ASH AND I

THAT DID MAKE ME QUESTION ASH'S
COMMITMENT TO OUR RELATIONSHIP.

SOME OF OUR CHALLENGES
IN THE PAST, IT'S LIKE,

ONE OF YOUR CLIENTS
WAS TRYING TO INSINUATE,

"YOU MUST HAVE
A BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND,"

BUT THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION,
YOU NEVER EVEN EXPRESSED

THAT YOU DID HAVE ONE,
AND I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS

AS TO WHY
YOU WOULDN'T JUST SAY THAT.

SO THAT'S WHERE IT'S JUST
STUFF LIKE THAT,

WHERE IT JUST WORRIES ME,
BECAUSE HOW DO I KNOW THAT

YOU'RE NOT JUST GOING TO TELL ME
THINGS THAT I WANT TO HEAR,

JUST SO THAT IT DOESN'T
ROCK THE BOAT AT ALL?

AND THAT'S WHY I'M COMING
TO AUSTRALIA,

BECAUSE I REALLY WANT
TO MAKE SURE

THAT YOU ARE THE PERSON
THAT YOU SHOW ME.

I SEE QUALITIES IN ASH
WHICH LEAD ME TO BELIEVE

THAT WE WOULD HAVE
A PHENOMENAL FUTURE TOGETHER.

BUT I'M WORRIED
THAT HE IS JUST NOT AS GENUINE

AS HE PRESENTS HIMSELF.

I GOT TO GET GOING, BABE,
BUT I'M GOING TO SEE YOU SOON.

GOING TO AUSTRALIA
IS A HUGE RISK.

I'M A SINGLE MOM.

I AM PUTTING A LOT OF MONEY
INTO THIS TRIP,

AND I'M GOING TO BE SPENDING

THE LONGEST TIME I EVER HAVE
AWAY FROM MY KIDS.

SO IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING

IF THIS WASN'T
WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS.

BYE.

THE SONG THAT HE JUST WROTE
FOR ME, "I LOVE YOU,"

HE WANTED A WOMAN
IN THE VIDEO TO POSE AS ME.

WHAT WAS HE THINKING WHEN
HE PICKED THIS WOMAN, SERIOUSLY?

I'M BOOKING MY FLIGHT NOW.

DO YOU KNOW THE NAME
OF THE AIRPORT?

IT'S LONDON? WHY HE TELL
HE LIVED IN MANCHESTER?

YEAH, EXACTLY.

KIANA!

YOU GOT TO HELP ME
WITH THIS LAUNDRY.

IN ONE WEEK,
I LEAVE FOR ENGLAND,

AND I AM SO EXCITED TO
FINALLY MEET WILLIAMS IN PERSON.

THANK YOU.

IN ONE WORD, WILLIAMS IS LOVELY.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM ONLINE
AFTER HE D. M.'d ME ON INSTAGRAM,

AND EVEN THOUGH
WE NEVER VIDEO CHATTED,

HE TEXTS AND CALLS ME EVERY DAY.

I WANT TO STAY FOR TWO WEEKS,
SO I'M GOING TO SEARCH.

WILLIAMS IS EXCITED
ABOUT THE FACT

THAT I LIVED IN LAS VEGAS,
AND HE'S HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT IT,

THAT HE WANTED TO COME HERE
TO SEE ME,

BUT HE'S TOLD ME HE WAS SHORT
A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS.

I TOLD HIM, "I'D RATHER NOT
HELP YOU WITH YOUR TICKET,

BUT I'D RATHER COME THERE
TO SEE YOU."

AT FIRST, HE WAS A LITTLE UPSET
THAT I DIDN'T GIVE HIM THE MONEY

AND I TOLD HIM NO,

BUT EVENTUALLY, HE SAID,
"THAT'LL BE FINE."

‐KARRA?
‐YEAH?

COME ON DOWN.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
PROBABLY BOOK A HOTEL,

BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER
WILL BE GOING WITH ME.

MY DAUGHTER KARRA HAS BEEN
SKEPTICAL ABOUT WILLIAMS

FROM THE BEGINNING, SO SHE'S
GOING WITH ME TO ENGLAND.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M LOOKING FOR FLIGHTS
AND A HOTEL FOR MANCHESTER.

MM‐HMM.

WE NEED TO PICK A HOTEL.

MM‐HMM.

WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE?

I LIKE THAT ONE, TOO.

I'VE NEVER BEEN
TO ANOTHER COUNTRY BEFORE.

WHEN I DID USED TO TRAVEL,

IT WAS WITH MY LATE HUSBAND,
DWAYNE,

AND WE PLANNED IT TOGETHER,

AND NOW I'M BY MYSELF,

SO IT'S A BIG LEAP FOR ME.

DO YOU KNOW WHICH AIRPORT?

I'M NOT SURE WHICH AIRPORT,
BECAUSE HE LIVES IN MANCHESTER,

BUT HE ALSO
MENTIONED LONDON,

SO I'M NOT 100% SURE.

I MEAN, FOR THESE PRICES,
YOU JUST HAVE TO BE SURE.

I'LL JUST CALL HIM TO SEE.

I AM SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY
ON THIS TRIP.

I'M TAKING A BIG RISK,

USING THE FAMILY FINANCES
TO GO SEE WILLIAMS,

BUT I'M READY FOR LOVE AGAIN,

AND IT'S JUST A RISK
I HAVE TO TAKE.

HELLO?

HI. GOOD MORNING.
HOW ARE YOU?

YOU'RE A LITTLE
SLEEPY, HUH?

I'M DOING GOOD.

OKAY. I NEED TO KNOW THE EXACT
AIRPORT I NEED TO FLY IN,

BECAUSE I'M BOOKING
MY FLIGHT NOW.

OKAY, LONDON?

DO YOU KNOW THE NAME
OF THE AIRPORT?

WHAT YOU GONNA
TEXT ME LATER?

THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
DON'T FORGET, THOUGH,

'CAUSE I NEED TO BOOK THE FLIGHT
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

OKAY. I LOVE YOU, TOO.

BYE.

SO IT'S LONDON. WHY HE TELL ME
HE LIVED IN MANCHESTER?

YEAH, EXACTLY.

RIGHT NOW,
IT IS STRESSFUL FOR ME,

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
WHO THIS GUY IS

AND WHAT HIS INTENTIONS ARE.

THIS GUY COULD BE A SCAMMER,

AND IT COULD BE DANGEROUS.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE MY MOM
BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.

AND WHAT ABOUT HIM ONLY TALKING
TO YOU FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS?

IS THAT WHAT
HE USUALLY DOES

WHEN YOU GUYS
TALK TO EACH OTHER?

YOU DON'T THINK HE GOT OFF
THE PHONE QUICK?

OKAY, THAT'S HIM.

SO, "I WILL PICK YOU UP
AT THE LONDON AIRPORT

BEFORE PROCEEDING."

NOW HE'S SAYING
MANCHESTER.

ASK HIM WHICH AIRPORT.

OKAY. HE GAVE ME THE AIRPORT
NAME IN MANCHESTER.

OKAY.
WHAT DID HE GIVE YOU?

A.S.P.

BURTONWOOD,
JOHN LENNON AIRPORT,

CHESTER AIRPORT.

NOTHING A. S. P.

YEAH, I WOULD TRY CALLING.

HE RIGHT THERE TEXTING ME.
HE'S NOT ANSWERING.

I'M READY TO BOOK THE FLIGHT.

BUT I DON'T KNOW
WHERE I'M GOING.

SO I AM TOTALLY FRUSTRATED.

I DIDN'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN
LIKE THIS IN FRONT OF KARRA,

'CAUSE SHE ALREADY
DON'T BELIEVE HIM.

I'M HOPING IT'S JUST
A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING.

HE NOT ANSWERING.

NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW.

I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THIS MAN
FOR SEVEN MONTHS.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM.

SO THE PLAN TOMORROW
IS TO CALL HIM

SO HE CAN GIVE ME
SOME STRAIGHT ANSWERS.

THIS IS CRAZY.

TOMORROW, I AM GOING TO BE
FLYING TO NIGERIA

TO MEET MY FIANCé, USMAN,

AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME

I'M LEAVING THE COMFORT
OF THE UNITED STATES.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GETTING INTO.

‐THERE SHE IS.
‐HELLO, LISA.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR I'M LATE.
SHUT UP.

I KNOW USMAN IS MY DESTINY,

BUT I HAVE NOT SHARED EVERYTHING

WITH MY FRIENDS ROCKY AND CATHY
ABOUT USMAN,

BECAUSE I'M WORRIED
ABOUT THEIR OPINION.

SO, TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.
YOU'RE GOING ABROAD?

YES, MA'AM.

WHAT ARE YOU
MOST EXCITED ABOUT?

I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO
PHYSICALLY TOUCH HIM.

RIGHT.

HUG HIM, KISS HIM.

WELL, WHAT'S HE DO
IN NIGERIA?

HE'S A CELEBRITY.

HE'S A CELEBRITY?

YES.

AND WHAT KIND OF CELEBRITY
IS HE?

A MUSICIAN,

AND HIS STAGE NAME IS SojaBoy.

HOW'S THAT SPELLED?
S‐O‐J‐A.

YES, THERE IS.

BUT HE SPELLS HIS
DIFFERENTLY, RIGHT?

HE SPELLS HIS DIFFERENTLY.
YEAH. I'M NOT THAT OLD, CATHY.

YOU SEE, I GOT IT TOGETHER WITH
THESE YOUNGER SINGERS.

HE'S NOT A SOLDIER
OR ANYTHING?

NO.
SO IS IT SOJA BOOK?

NO. NO, NOT AT ALL.

IF HE HAS AN ESTABLISHED
CAREER THERE...

YES.
WHY DOES HE WANT TO COME HERE?

TO BE WITH ME.

REALLY?

I DO NOT THINK THAT YOU CAN
TRULY KNOW SOMEBODY

FROM SPEAKING
TO THEM ON THE PHONE,

AND I'M JUST CONCERNED

THAT HE'S NOT IN IT
FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT HIS CAREER.

THE SONG THAT HE JUST WROTE
FOR ME, "I LOVE YOU,"

ABOUT HIM AND I,
HE HANDWROTE THE SONGS HIMSELF.

HE PRODUCED IT, SUNG IT.
THAT'S ALL HIM.

USMAN WROTE AND SUNG A SONG
FOR ME CALLED "I LOVE YOU,"

AND GAVE IT TO ME
FOR A VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT.

VERY ROMANTIC.

BUT THERE WAS SOME DRAMA.

THE VIDEO'S GETTING READY
TO COME OUT,

BUT USMAN, HE WANTED A WOMAN
IN THE VIDEO TO POSE AS ME.

THE SONG IS WRITTEN ABOUT ME
AND MY LIFE WITH USMAN.

BUT I AM 7,000 MILES AWAY.

SO THE VIDEO SHOULD'VE HAD
THE IMAGE OF ME,

LIKE A SHADOW OR A GHOST
APPEARING IN HIS VISION,

BUT THE DIRECTOR PUT A NIGERIAN
WOMAN IN THERE POSING AS ME.

I TOLD HIM IF THIS STAYS
THE WAY IT IS,

I WILL NO LONGER ACKNOWLEDGE

THAT THE VIDEO
IS WRITTEN FOR ME.

THE SONG MEANS NOTHING TO ME
AT THAT POINT.

WHAT WAS HE THINKING
WHEN HE PICKED THIS WOMAN?

SERIOUSLY.
RIGHT.

SO HE WENT BACK
TO THE DIRECTOR.

HE SAID,
"CUT ALL THOSE SCENES."

RIGHT.
"ELIMINATE HER ALTOGETHER."

SO I'M HAPPY.

IT'S DONE
THE WAY I WANT IT.

EVEN THOUGH HE CHANGED
THE VIDEO, I DO BELIEVE

USMAN IS TOO LAID BACK
WHEN IT COMES TO HIS CAREER,

SO I WANT TO HAVE MORE SAY
IN HIS CAREER

WHEN I ARRIVE IN NIGERIA.

SO, WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BE
TRAVELING AT IN NIGERIA?

I WILL BE FLYING
INTO THE CAPITAL, ABUJA.

FROM THERE,
I WILL TRAVEL TO KADUNA.

THAT IS WHERE HE RESIDES.

TELL ME AGAIN WHERE YOU'RE GOING
SO I CAN GOOGLE IT.

KADUNA.
KADUNA.

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF KILLINGS
AND KIDNAPPINGS IN KADUNA.

37 PEOPLE KILLED.

THEY'RE RAMPANT.

YOU'D BE A PERFECT TARGET,
THOUGH. YOU'RE AN AMERICAN.

AND THEY'RE GOING TO THINK
THAT YOU HAVE MONEY.

YOU'RE WALKING INTO
A BOMB LAND.

THAT DOESN'T SCARE YOU?

WE'RE HERE IN THE CITY.

HOW MANY SHOOTINGS
DO WE HAVE A NIGHT?

HOW MANY STABBINGS DO WE HAVE
A NIGHT?

THE CRIME IS DIFFERENT, BUT
IT'S THE SAME THAT WE HAVE HERE.

I DON'T THINK SO.

LISA'S TRAVELING
TO A REMOTE PART OF NIGERIA,

AND IS SHE GOING
TO BE PROTECTED?

IS THIS GUY
WHO HE SAID HE WAS?

I'M WORRIED ABOUT KIDNAPPINGS
AND BEING BEHEADED.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE GOING TO DO OVER THERE.

I BELIEVE
SHE'S BEING NAIVE.

WHY ARE YOU PUTTING YOURSELF
AT RISK?

I'M WILLING TO TAKE THAT RISK
TO BE HAPPY

FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

IF MY LIFE IS ONE WEEK,
ONE MONTH WITH THIS MAN,

I'VE LIVED A FULL LIFE.

COME ON, LISA.
YOU'RE CRAZY.

HAVE YOU THOUGHT THAT
HE'S JUST USING YOU TO GET HERE

OR MAKE A NEW CAREER
HERE IN THE STATES?

I'M VERY CONFIDENT
HE WILL STICK BY ME

TILL THE DAY I DIE.

OKAY.
OKAY.

PEOPLE ARE SKEPTICAL,
BUT HIM AND I ARE NOT.

WE KNOW THIS IS OUR DESTINY.

IF I DIE IN NIGERIA,
I WILL DIE A HAPPY WOMAN.

I WILL BE WITH THE MAN
THAT I LOVE.

SHE ALREADY WANTS
ANOTHER CHILD.

I HAVEN'T TOLD HER THIS,
BUT I WANT TO GET, LIKE, NIPPED.

I HAVE BEEN KEEPING
A FEW THINGS FROM ROSE.

I DON'T WANT ANY MORE KIDS.

I WANT TO GET A VASECTOMY.

YOU NEED TO TELL HER.

I HAVEN'T REALLY
THOUGHT THIS THROUGH.

TOMORROW, I'M GOING TO
THE PHILIPPINES TO MEET ROSE.

SHE'S MY HEART, AND I CAN'T WAIT
TO SEE HER IN PERSON.

I'M REALLY EXCITED
TO MEET ROSE,

BUT I'M WORRIED BECAUSE
HER SISTER ASKED ME FOR MONEY.

THERE'S A POSSIBILITY
THAT ROSE WAS INVOLVED.

THAT MAKES ME REALLY NERVOUS...

BECAUSE I LOVE HER ‐‐
I'M IN LOVE WITH HER.

I'M NOT SURE
WHAT I WANTED TO BRING.

I'VE SENT SO MANY BOXES, SO...

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF THEY HAVE A MICROWAVE

OR THEY'VE EVER
EXPERIENCED POPCORN,

BUT JUST KIND OF SOME OF
THE THINGS I LIKE.

UH, PROTECTION ‐‐

NOT GUNS,

BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

DON'T BE A FOOL.
WRAP YOUR TOOL.

SHOOT.
THIS IS NEVER GONNA FIT.

OH, SHOOT.

‐WHAT'S UP?
‐WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DID FORGET SOMETHING?

I DID, MAN. UGH!

COME ON.

I NEED THAT WINE
FOR MY TRIP.

‐IS IT GONNA FIT?
‐I HOPE SO.

14 YEARS I'VE KNOWN ED
AND NO GIRLFRIEND.

ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THEN THIS GIRL POPS UP

ON HIS SOCIAL MEDIA, AND HE'S
TELLING ME HE'S SERIOUS.

HE DESERVES LOVE.

HE'S BEEN SEARCHING,
YOU KNOW,

AND IF THIS IS THE WAY
HE THINKS IT'S GONNA HAPPEN,

ALL THE POWER TO HIM.

BUT HE'S GOT TO
WATCH HIS BACK.

SO FOR ROSEMARIE,
SOME PERFUMES FOR HER.

AND THEN I HAVE
THIS LITTLE NUMBER.

OH, MY GOSH.

DO NOT PUT THAT ON.

I REALLY TRIED TO.
I'M KIDDING.

SO I GOT
THAT THING GOING.

SO YOU'RE ANTICIPATING
SOME FUN.

AND THERE'S ONE MORE THING,
OF COURSE.

VERY, VERY,
VERY IMPORTANT.

AND THAT IS...

SOMETHING THAT I'M EVEN
MORE NERVOUS ABOUT.

DON'T FREAK OUT!

OH, MY GOD.
DON'T FREAK OUT.

I BOUGHT A RING.
‐YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

DUDE, WHAT THE...?

ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?

‐I ‐‐ DUDE...
‐IS THIS REAL?

THAT'S REAL.

MAN, DON'T TAKE THIS WITH YOU.
YOU'RE CRAZY.

I'M ON A WAVE, MAN.
I GOT TO RIDE THE WAVE.

THIS IS STUPID.
ALRIGHT?

HE'S OUT OF THE MIND.

AND, I MEAN, HE'S NEVER MET
ROSEMARIE FACE TO FACE.

HE'S CRAZY.

SO WHAT IS ALL THIS?

SO I HAVE A TON OF STUFF
FOR HER SON, PRINCE.

I HAVE CANDY, TOOTHPASTE.
I'M BRINGING TOYS.

‐HOW OLD IS HE?
‐PRINCE IS FOUR.

OKAY, SO IN 10 YEARS,
YOU'RE GONNA BE 64, HE'LL BE 14.

HE'S NOT EVEN
OUT OF THE HOUSE YET.

AND WHAT'S THE PLAN THERE?
LIKE...?

WELL,
WHEN I START DROOLING,

HE'S GOING TO GET ME
A PAPER TOWEL, I GUESS.

BUT, SERIOUSLY, LIKE,
DOES SHE WANT MORE KIDS?

DID SHE TELL YOU THAT
OR NOT?

WELL, SHE ALREADY WANTS ANOTHER
CHILD. SHE WANTS A GIRL.

AND...
I HAVEN'T TOLD HER THIS.

I DON'T WANT TO TELL HER THIS,
BUT...

I WANT TO GET,
LIKE, NIPPED.

OKAY.

I HAVE BEEN KEEPING
A FEW THINGS FROM ROSE.

ONE IS MY HEIGHT ‐‐

I'M 4'11 ", NOT 5'2".

THERE'S ANOTHER THING, AND THAT
IS I DON'T WANT ANY MORE KIDS.

I WANT TO GET A VASECTOMY,
BUT I DON'T WANT TO TELL HER.

I'M ALREADY GOING TO TAKE ON
A 4‐YEAR‐OLD KID.

BUT THEN TO HAVE, YOU KNOW,
ANOTHER CHILD ON TOP OF THAT,

IT'S JUST OVERWHELMING.

I'M AT A PLACE IN MY LIFE
WHERE I'VE RAISED MY DAUGHTER.

SHE'S 29 AND I'M 54.

OTHER THAN PRINCE,
I'M NOT READY TO HAVE MORE KIDS.

I DON'T ‐‐ I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO TELL HER.

I DON'T WANT TO
BREAK HER HEART.

YOU NEED TO TELL HER.
YOU NEED TO TELL HER.

YOU KNOW,
THAT'S GOT TO BE FAIR, SO...

WHAT SHE'S GETTING INTO ‐‐
I'M SERIOUS. LIKE...

YOU'RE SCARING
THE OUT OF ME,

'CAUSE I HAVEN'T REALLY THOUGHT
THIS THROUGH, DUDE.

I HAVEN'T
THOUGHT THIS THROUGH.

SO THAT'S WHY I'VE CANCELED
THE APPOINTMENT TWICE.

I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW ROSE
IS GOING TO FEEL

ABOUT ME GETTING A VASECTOMY,

SO I DON'T WANT
TO TELL HER RIGHT NOW

BECAUSE I'M AFRAID
OF LOSING HER.

ALL THIS HAS ME WORRIED.

WELL, THAT'S A BIG THING,
SO...

YOU NEED TO REALLY THINK
ABOUT THAT.

WELL, ALRIGHT, SO,
I NEED TO START PACKING.

‐BE CAREFUL.
‐DON'T BE STUPID.

DON'T BE STUPID THIS EARLY.
BE SAFE, ALRIGHT?

‐ALRIGHT. I WILL, MAN.
‐HIT ME UP WHEN YOU GET THERE.

I WILL.
ALRIGHT, LATER.

LATER.

I UNDERSTAND WHY MY FRIENDS AND
FAMILY ARE SKEPTICAL OF ROSE.

SHE'S GIVEN THEM RED FLAGS,
AND THERE'S ALSO A LOT

THAT I STILL HAVEN'T TOLD HER
ABOUT ME.

BUT STILL IN MY HEART,
I PRAY TO GOD

THAT ROSE IS MY SOULMATE.

I HOPE I'LL COME BACK
TO SAN DIEGO

AS AN ENGAGED MAN
AT 54 YEARS OLD.

NICOLE AND I
BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING.

CONDOMS. REALLY?

SHE'S NEVER BEEN
OUT OF THE UNITED STATES.

SHE DOESN'T KNOW THIS GUY
EXCEPT FROM OVER THE INTERNET.

‐HE'S ALREADY BEEN TESTED, SO...
‐I DON'T CARE.

‐YOU STILL WEAR A CONDOM.
‐NO. I KNOW I'M GOOD.

I'M TAKING THREE FLIGHTS,

TRAVELING MORE THAN 24 HOURS
ALL THE WAY TO MOSCOW

TO MEET VARYA
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

THANK YOU.

THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS
HAVE BEEN

EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY HARD.

I DESERVE HAPPINESS, AND I THINK
THAT VARYA IS THIS HAPPINESS.

IT'S REAL.

I CAN'T WAIT TO FINALLY
FEEL HER, TO FINALLY SMELL HER,

TO TOUCH HER,
TO KISS HER, TO HOLD HER.

MY NAME IS VARYA.

I'M 30 YEARS OLD,
AND I AM A RADIO HOST

OUTSIDE OF MOSCOW AND RYAZAN.

RYAZAN IS AN AVERAGE
RUSSIAN CITY.

BUT I ACTUALLY COME
FROM SIBERIA...

VERY FAR FROM CIVILIZATION.

I LEFT MY NATIVE CITY IN SIBERIA
WHEN I WAS 17...

AND NOW I LIKE IT SO MUCH.

GEOFFREY'S NOT ONLY SEXY...

LIKE ME, HE IS SMART WITH
A VERY GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR.

I LIKE HIM VERY MUCH.

AND NOW HE'S COMING...
TO RUSSIA.

GEOFFREY ARRIVES
IN RUSSIA TOMORROW,

SO TONIGHT I'M GOING TO A PARTY
WITH MY FRIENDS.

OH, I LOVE
MY FRIENDS SO MUCH.

THEY'RE CRAZY ‐‐
A LITTLE LIKE ME.

I'VE BEEN TALKING TO HIM
ONLY ONLINE.

NEVER SEE IN PERSON.

OH, MY GOD,
I THINK I HAVE EVERYTHING

BUT THE KITCHEN SINK HERE.

I AM LEAVING HERE TODAY.
I AM FLYING TO NIGERIA.

I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO BE
FACE TO FACE WITH THIS MAN

AFTER TWO YEARS OF VIDEO CHATS.

IT'S INCREDIBLE.

‐WHERE ARE YOU AT? I'M HERE!
‐I'M IN HERE, NIKKI.

NIKKI IS GOING TO TAKE ME
DOWN TO THE AIRPORT

WITH HER DAUGHTER, LIZ...

HI, LIZ.
HOW ARE YOU, BABY GIRL?

WAIT. THERE'S ONE MORE.
WE AIN'T DONE.

AND HER MOM, TRINDA.

TRINDA AND I'VE BEEN FRIENDS
FOR 20‐PLUS YEARS,

AND SHE KNOWS EXACTLY
WHAT I'M GETTING MYSELF INTO.

SHE'S BEEN TO AFRICA
WITH HER FATHER.

THEY HAVE A MISSION
SET UP OVER THERE.

OH, MY GOD!
WHAT IS THIS?

WHO PACKS LIKE THAT? ME.

WHAT YOU GOT IN THERE?
COME ON.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?

WHAT THE HELL YOU DOING
WITH THIS?

FOR THE MOSQUITOES.

‐THAT IS DROP‐DEAD SEXY.
‐THAT'S REALLY SEXY.

‐LOOK, I GOT HIS AND HERS.
‐OH, DEAR GOD.

HE IS NOT GOING TO WEAR THAT.
‐YES, HE WILL.

OH, MY GOD! NO!

‐YOU NERVOUS ABOUT FLYING?
‐YES.

I'VE NEVER LEFT
THE UNITED STATES IN MY LIFE,

AND I'VE HEARD ALL THE STORIES
FROM YOUR MOM

AND YOU WHEN YOU GUYS TRAVEL,
SO I'M LIKE, "MM..."

YOU KNOW, THERE'S PEOPLE
WATCHING THERE.

‐MM.
‐ "OH, LOOK AT THE MZUNGU!"

MEANS WHITE.
‐MM. YEAH, I KNOW.

THAT SHOULD BE INTERESTING
IN ITSELF.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT LISA.

SHE DOES NOT KNOW
OTHER CULTURES.

SHE'S NEVER BEEN OUT
OF THE UNITED STATES.

SHE HAS NO CLUE
OF WHAT AFRICA IS ALL ABOUT.

I BROUGHT YOU
SOMETHING.

OH, YEAH!
OH, MY ‐‐ REALLY?

THAT'S COOL THAT, YOU KNOW,
YOU THOUGHT OF THE CONDOMS,

BUT HE'S ALREADY BEEN TESTED,
SO...

I DON'T CARE.
YOU STILL WEAR A CONDOM.

NO. I KNOW I'M GOOD.

USE THEM.
MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN THERE.

BABY LOVE,
I BROUGHT YOU PRESENTS

AS A NURSE AND A MOTHER,

I'M JUST AFRAID
SHE'LL GET HURT.

SHE DOES NOT KNOW THIS GUY
EXCEPT FROM OVER THE INTERNET.

HERE WE GO.

AFTER TWO YEARS
ON VIDEO CHAT,

IT'S GONNA BE SO AWESOME
TO STAND RIGHT BESIDE HIM,

NOT HAVE THESE STUPID
CELLPHONES GOING, "BEEP, BEEP,

RECONNECT, RECONNECT."

YOU DON'T GET TO SEE USMAN
PERFORM AT ALL OVER THERE?

HE IS ACTUALLY DOING A PREMIERE
PARTY FOR THE MUSIC VIDEO.

IT'S A BIG AFFAIR.

RED CARPET, PHOTOGRAPHERS,
THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.

WOW.

SO I HEAR THAT USMAN HAS
QUITE A FEW ROOMMATES

THAT ARE ALL MEN.

‐YES.
‐DO YOU THINK THAT HE'S,

YOU KNOW...

USMAN DOES NOT FALL
INTO THAT CATEGORY.

I KNOW EVERY RED FLAG
THERE IS FOR ANY SCAM

OR YAHOO BOY
TO COME AT ME.

HE SHOWS NONE OF THAT.

IN NIGERIA, SCAMMERS,
THEY'RE CALLED YAHOO BOYS.

THEY WILL COME TO YOU
ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

"HEY, BABY,
I CAME ACROSS YOUR PROFILE.

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL,"

AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS,
THEY'RE ASKING YOU FOR MONEY.

YAHOO BOYS OFTEN LIVE
TOGETHER,

SO I CAN SEE WHERE TRINDA
WOULD THINK THAT

USMAN WOULD BE A SCAMMER
YAHOO BOY.

HE'S LEGIT.
HE'S LEGIT.

THERE MAY BE A SMALL PART
THAT I'M SKEPTICAL ON,

BUT I'M GOING TO NIGERIA
TO MAKE SURE

HE IS THE MAN HE SAYS HE IS.

I TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE.

OKAY, THEN.

IT'S GONNA BE
A WHOLE BIG EXPERIENCE.

OH, MY GOD.

I DEFINITELY THINK
HE COULD BE

IN CAHOOTS WITH HIS ROOMMATES
AND HIS FRIENDS,

AND I'VE EXPRESSED
ALL OF MY CONCERNS TO HER.

SHE KNOWS THE NEGATIVES
ARE THERE,

BUT SHE CHOOSES TO BELIEVE
THAT HE'S GENUINE

AND, BASICALLY, HER FAIRY TALE
IS GONNA COME TRUE.

ALRIGHT, NIK.

IT JUST
MAKES ME WORRIED FOR HER.

I DON'T KNOW.

THIS IS IT, NIK.

LET'S DO THIS.

WHEN I MET USMAN,

HE SAID
HE WILL CHANGE MY WORLD.

AND HE'S DONE THAT.

HE IS ABSOLUTELY
THE MAN OF MY DREAMS.

IF THIS IS A SCAM,
IT'S GONNA BREAK MY HEART,

AND I WILL NOT RECOVER
FROM IT.

NOW THAT I'M LEAVING
IN A WEEK,

I NEED TO TELL MY PARENTS THAT
I'M ACTUALLY IN A RELATIONSHIP.

HIS NAME IS ASH,
AND HE LIVES IN AUSTRALIA.

WE'VE BEEN DATING
NINE MONTHS.

WHAT?
WELL, I MEAN ‐‐

HOW CAN YOU DATE HIM
WHEN HE'S A MILLION MILES AWAY?

TODAY, I'M GOING TO SEE
MY PARENTS TO TELL THEM

THAT I AM ACTUALLY GOING
TO AUSTRALIA.

HI, MOM!
HI!

SEE? IT'S AVERY!
HI!

FIRST,
I HAVE TO TELL THEM

THAT I'M ACTUALLY, LIKE,
IN A RELATIONSHIP.

HI, GRANDMA!

HOW ARE YOU?

GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD.

BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THROUGH

A LOT OF CHALLENGES
IN MY PAST...

HEY, AVERY!
HEY!

MY PARENTS
HAVE SEEN THE EFFECT

OF WHAT MY PAST RELATIONSHIPS
HAVE DONE TO ME.

SO, WHAT'VE YOU BEEN UP TO?
I SAW THE BOAT OUT THERE.

YEP. I'M GETTING READY
TO GO TUNA FISHING.

‐I CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT.
‐YES, SO I GET TO BE HOME ALONE.

I KNOW.
THAT'S YOUR FAVORITE.

IT IS.

OH, OKAY.
SO, WHATCHA UP TO?

UM...

WELL, THERE'S A GUY
I'M SEEING.

UM...

WHO IS THIS?

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN
TOLD ME ABOUT HIM.

HIS NAME IS ASH,
AND HE'S A RELATIONSHIP COACH.

HE LIVES IN AUSTRALIA.

UM...

WE'VE BEEN DATING NOW
FOR ALMOST NINE MONTHS.

DATING?

WELL, I MEAN ‐‐
HOW CAN YOU DATE HIM

WHEN YOU'RE ‐‐ WHEN HE'S
LIKE A MILLION MILES AWAY?

I MEAN...

DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE
OF HIM?

HERE, YOU CAN SEE
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.

WE MET ON INSTAGRAM.

OH, YEAH, HE'S CUTE.

HE'S 38, AND HE HAS A SON
WHO'S 10 YEARS OLD.

HIS NAME'S TAJ.

‐OKAY.
‐YEAH.

NOW WE WANT TO GO
SEE EACH OTHER.

‐IN AUSTRALIA?
‐YEAH.

AND I'M GONNA STAY THERE
FOR TWO AND A HALF WEEKS.

WHAT?

AREN'T THERE ANY FELLAS
IN WASHINGTON?

WELL, I MEAN, I...

WE JUST HAVE
A REALLY GOOD CONNECTION.

YOU THINK
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA?

GOING, YOU KNOW, HALFWAY AROUND
THE WORLD TO MEET SOME GUY

THAT YOU'VE NEVER MET?

WHEN ‐‐ WHEREVER YOU FIND LOVE,
I MEAN...

OKAY.

MY GUT REACTION IS THAT
THAT SOUNDS KIND OF SILLY.

YOU KNOW, SHE DOESN'T
KNOW HIM FROM ADAM,

OTHER THAN TALKING WITH HIM
ON SNAPCHAT OR FACEBOOK

OR WHATEVER IT IS.

TO GO TO AUSTRALIA

TO MEET A MAN SHE'S JUST MET
ON THE INTERNET ‐‐

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

I MEAN, REALLY, YOU KNOW
NOTHING ABOUT HIM

EXCEPT FOR WHAT YOU SEE
AND HEAR ON YOUR PHONE,

WHICH I THINK IS REALLY WEIRD,
THAT PEOPLE EVEN DO THAT.

WILL YOU BE SAFE
AND HAVE SOMEWHERE TO STAY?

YOU'RE NOT SLEEPING
AT HIS HOUSE, ARE YOU?

I‐I'M ACTUALLY GONNA BE
STAYING WITH HIM.

I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED.

YOU KNOW,
YOU DON'T KNOW THIS GUY.

AND YOU GET OVER THERE AND HE IS
AN AGGRESSIVE PERSON ‐‐

HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
HOW YOU WOULD DEAL WITH THAT?

I DON'T KNOW. I JUST, I FEEL
LIKE EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.

OBVIOUSLY, I'VE BEEN THROUGH
A BUNCH OF CRAP IN THE PAST,

AND I'M NOT TRYING
TO GO DOWN THAT ROAD AGAIN.

BUT HE MEANS A LOT
TO ME.

WE'RE GETTING REALLY SERIOUS
ABOUT EACH OTHER,

AND WE BOTH HAVE A REALLY,

REALLY GREAT CONNECTION.
LIKE HOW SERIOUS?

I MEAN,
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT,

YOU KNOW, POTENTIAL MARRIAGE
AND HIM COMING HERE.

HM.

AVERY'S MADE A LOT OF BAD
MISTAKES IN HER LIFE WITH MEN.

SHE'S GOT HER KIDS
TO THINK ABOUT.

HE'S GOT A KID.

AND I JUST...
I DON'T KNOW.

SO, THE SON IS
10 YEARS OLD?

YEAH.
HOW DOES THAT WORK, AVERY?

YOU KNOW, HIM
HAVING A CHILD THERE

AND YOU HAVING
YOUR KIDS HERE.

EITHER YOU GO THERE
OR HE COMES HERE.

EITHER WAY, I SEE A DISCONNECT
WITH FAMILY.

WELL, HE'S FOR SURE GONNA
COME HERE.

THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT HE REASSURED ME WITH,

THAT HE WOULD MAKE IT WORK
WITH HIS EX‐WIFE

AND BE ABLE TO HAVE TAJ
COME THIS WAY.

WELL, THAT'S SOMETHING
TO BE WORKED OUT.

I MEAN, IT'S DEFINITELY...
IT'S NOT OBVIOUSLY EASY.

WELL, YOU'LL FIND OUT
WHEN YOU GET UP THERE.

I KNOW.

UNLESS HE'S
A TOTAL MANIPULATOR.

THAT'S HONESTLY
MY BIGGEST CONCERN,

IS THAT HE IS
A RELATIONSHIP COACH,

SO HE KNOWS ALL THE RIGHT
THINGS TO SAY.

RIGHT.
AND, LIKE...

I JUST WANT TO SEE
HOW AUTHENTIC HE IS

BECAUSE HE REALLY, TRULY IS,
LIKE, THE PERFECT PERSON.

I'M LOOKING FOR
MY FUTURE HUSBAND.

SO IF OUR RELATIONSHIP

IS EVERYTHING
THAT I HAVE THOUGHT IT IS

UP TILL NOW,
I WOULD LOVE TO MARRY ASH.

BUT I HAVE
TWO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS,

AND IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTERS
TO HAVE STABILITY.

I REALLY HOPE THAT ASH IS
THE PERSON THAT HE SAYS HE IS.

FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN 29 YEARS,

I'M GETTING ON A PLANE
NOT ABLE TO TALK TO MY DAUGHTER,

AND IT REALLY HURTS.

GOD FORBID SOMETHING
SHOULD EVER HAPPEN TO ME,

I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I LOVE YOU.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M REALLY
DOING THE RIGHT THING.

HEY!

‐YOU LOOK AMAZING.
‐THANK YOU.

I'M GONNA BE IN NEW YORK.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET ME?

WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS?

I STARTED DATING
MY BRITISH BOYFRIEND TOM

ALMOST A YEAR AGO,

BUT THINGS HAVE BEEN PRETTY UP
AND DOWN EVER SINCE I GOT BACK

FROM VISITING HIM IN THE U. K.

ONE MINUTE, HE'S LIKE,
"I LOVE YOU,"

HE WANTS TO, LIKE,
SEE WHERE THIS GOES,

HE WANTS TO COME VISIT.

AND THEN THE NEXT MINUTE,
HE'S NOT INTERESTED.

SO AT THIS POINT, I DON'T THINK
EITHER ONE OF US UNDERSTANDS,

YOU KNOW, WHAT WE WANT.

BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW,
WE'RE STILL A COUPLE.

IT'S JUST CONFUSING.

AND THEN, A FEW DAYS AGO,

TOM TEXTED ME AND SAID
HE WANTED TO VIDEO CHAT.

AT FIRST, I WASN'T SURE
IF I WANTED TO TALK,

BUT I DO NEED TO KNOW
WHERE WE STAND.

SO HE'S CALLING ME TODAY.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN
COMMUNICATING MUCH.

AND THE TIMES THAT WE DO,
IT'S NOT ALWAYS GREAT.

SO... A LITTLE NERVOUS.

HOPEFULLY, I GET AN,
"I LOVE YOU. I MISS YOU."

WE'LL SEE.

OKAY.

HEY!

I'M GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

LONG TIME, NO TALK.

INDEED.
LONG TIME, NO TALK.

YES.

HOW ARE YOU? YOU GOOD?

CRAZY BUSY WITH WORK.

I'M HAVING A LOT OF FUN,
THOUGH.

THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S IMPORTANT.

ENJOYING LIFE.

‐YES.
‐AND I'M HEALTHY AGAIN.

SO I FEEL HEALTHY
AND FIT AND...

YOU LOOK AMAZING.

THANK YOU.

ANYWAY...

OH, NICE. BUSINESS?

NICE.

ALRIGHT. OKAY.

UM, WELL,
WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS?

I'D LIKE TO KNOW
HOW YOU FEEL, TOO.

I WOULD PREFER TO, LIKE,
ACTUALLY SIT DOWN

AND TALK TO YOU
OVER THE DINNER TABLE...

FEELS A LITTLE...
YOU KNOW, OFF TO ME.

TWO YEARS AGO,

MY BOYFRIEND AT THE TIME,
JESSE, WANTED TO "MEET,"

BUT HE REALLY JUST CAME
TO BREAK UP WITH ME.

GIVE ME TWO MINUTES,
AND I'M OUT.

YOU'RE JUST NASTY
ALL THE TIME.

JUST WANT TO MAKE ME LOOK
LIKE A BAD PERSON.

I DON'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU,
AND YOU ACT, LIKE, ALL INNOCENT.

WHY DID YOU HAVE ME COME
TO NEW YORK TO DO THIS TO ME?

GO, GO, GO TO MEET
THE NEXT WOMAN IN LINE!

I AIN'T MAD AT YA.
GO HAVE SOME DRINKS AGAIN.

- YOU.
- JUST OFF.

I JUST DON'T WANNA GET THROWN
UNDER THE BUS

OR HAVE ANY BAD INTENTIONS.

I JUST WANT TO BE OPEN‐MINDED
AND HAVE PEACE WITH YOU.

I'D NEVER THROW YOU
UNDER A BUS.

WELL, I APPRECIATE THAT.
BUT IF YOU'RE COMING HERE

TO BREAK UP, THEN YOU CAN
JUST DO IT OVER THE PHONE.

EXACTLY.

"A NOTION."

WITH TOM, I'M NOT QUITE SURE
HOW TO GAUGE IT

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT HE'S THINKING OR FEELING.

BUT HIS ACTIONS LATELY HAVE BEEN
SPEAKING LOUDER THAN WORDS,

AND I DON'T HAVE
A GOOD FEELING ABOUT IT.

I‐I JUST ‐‐
I'M REALLY CONFUSED

BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE,
WELL ‐‐

NO, NOT A PROBLEM.
NOT A PROBLEM, TOM.

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TEXT ME
WHEN YOU'RE AROUND,

AND I'LL SEE
IF I'M AVAILABLE, AS WELL.

'CAUSE SOMETHING
DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT.

OKAY, I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M WILLING

TO COME TO NEW YORK.
I'M SORRY.

AS USUAL.
JUST, YOU KNOW...

NOT GONNA BE A PAWN.

I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE
HIS INTENTIONS ARE REAL.

GIVEN THE HISTORY BETWEEN US,

I WANT TO MAKE IT WORK.

I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO BELIEVE.

I DON'T ‐‐ I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T WANT ANY BAD BLOOD.

I JUST ‐‐ I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

HELLO.

THE TAXI JUST ARRIVED
FOR THE AIRPORT,

AND I'M GOING
TO THE PHILIPPINES.

GOING ON A BIG TRIP.

YEAH. PHILIPPINES.

I'M EXCITED AND I'M NERVOUS.

I HAVE A LOT
OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

ROSE HAS NEVER GIVEN ME A
STRAIGHT ANSWER ABOUT HER PAST,

AND I GOT A TEXT FROM ROSE'S
SISTER ASKING ME FOR MONEY.

I HAVE A LOT MORE I NEED TO
KNOW BEFORE I CAN MOVE FORWARD.

BUT I DO WANT ROSE.
I WANT TO BE WITH HER.

DID I TELL YOU TERMINAL 2?

‐YES.
‐OKAY.

I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.

THIS JUST GOT REAL.
THIS IS HAPPENING.

I HAVEN'T BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP
IN 28 YEARS,

AND I THINK THIS IS MY ONE
AND ONLY CHANCE AT LOVE AGAIN.

AND I HAVE TO
GO THROUGH WITH IT.

I'M HEADING
TO THE PHILIPPINES.

LOS ANGELES?

YES, SIR.
CONNECTING IN LOS ANGELES.

THIS WILL BE THE FURTHEST
I'VE EVER TRAVELED.

BUT THERE'S HOPE FOR ME
THAT I CAN BE IN LOVE AGAIN.

I CAN HAVE A WIFE.

I CAN HAVE
WHAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE.

NO, SIR.

NO, SIR.

SMOKING STUNTS YOUR GROWTH.

SO, ONCE I STEP ON THE PLANE,

THAT WILL BE THE TURNING POINT
IN MY LIFE.

IT WILL BE THE BIGGEST THING
I'VE EVER GAMBLED ON IN MY LIFE.

ROSE IS MY DREAM,
AND SHE IS MY HOPE.

THERE'S MY ROSE!

I HOPE THAT ROSE FEELS

THE SAME WAY I DO,

BECAUSE I WANT
TO PROPOSE TO HER.

I WANT TO CALL MY DAUGHTER.

WHEN I TOLD MY DAUGHTER TIFFANY
ABOUT ROSEMARIE,

SHE STOPPED TALKING TO ME

BECAUSE SHE'S UPSET
THAT ROSEMARY IS

SIX YEARS YOUNGER THAN SHE IS.

AND I HAVE FEELINGS
FOR THIS GIRL

THAT'S IN ANOTHER COUNTRY,
THAT I'VE NEVER MET.

SHE WON'T PICK UP,
SO I'M GONNA DO A VIDEO.

HEY, I'M AT THE AIRPORT.

I WANTED TO FaceTime,
BUT I KNOW THAT...

YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE NOT PICKING UP.

YOU KNOW, GOD FORBID SOMETHING
SHOULD EVER HAPPEN TO ME.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I LOVE YOU.

YOU'RE THE BEST THING THAT
I'VE EVER CREATED IN THIS WORLD.

AND YOU'LL ALWAYS BE
MY NUMBER ONE.

AND...

I KNOW
THIS IS REALLY HARD ON YOU.

AND I RESPECT YOUR FEELINGS

AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT
BE GOING THROUGH, AS WELL.

SO, I STILL JUST WANT
TO KNOW FOR MYSELF.

I HAVE TO SEE THIS THROUGH

AND...

HOPING TO SEE YOU
ON THE OTHER SIDE, OKAY?

AND I'LL TALK TO YOU SOON.

LOVE YOU. BYE.

WE'VE ALWAYS SPOKE BEFORE EITHER
OF US TOOK A PLANE RIDE.

NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME,

I'M GETTING ON A PLANE NOT ABLE
TO TALK TO MY DAUGHTER,

AND IT REALLY HURTS.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M REALLY
DOING THE RIGHT THING.

HEY, TIF.

THANK YOU, TIF.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I'M BACK ON THE 2nd.

I KNOW THIS
HAS BEEN TOUGH.

OKAY, WELL, CAN WE TALK
WHEN I GET BACK?

Yeah.

OKAY.

OH, MY GOD.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR
CALLING ME BACK, DUDE.

YOU MADE MY ‐‐
YOU MADE MY DAY.

YOU MADE MY LIFE.

OKAY. I LOVE YOU.
Sure.

I LOVE YOU.
Love you, too.

OKAY. BYE‐BYE.
Alright, bye.

I HAVE SO MUCH ON THE LINE
BEING WITH ROSE,

AND THE BIGGEST IS

MY RELATIONSHIP
WITH MY DAUGHTER,

SO I REALLY WANT TO BELIEVE
THAT THIS IS AS REAL FOR ROSE

AS IT IS FOR ME,

BECAUSE IF NOT,

IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING.

I FEEL A LITTLE AWKWARD.
I FEEL A LITTLE BIT WEIRD.

UM...

COOL.

I HOPE THE AWKWARDNESS
WILL DISSIPATE.

I'M WALKING OFF THE PLANE
RIGHT NOW.

I MET MY GIRLFRIEND ONLINE
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO,

AND I JUST LANDED IN MOSCOW

TO SEE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE,
VARYA, IN PERSON

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

I'M STRESSED.

OF COURSE, I'M WORRIED.

I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T EVEN ‐‐

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT TO SAY RIGHT NOW.

SUPER NERVOUS.

I'M GOT TO TRY TO LOOK...

AS GOOD AS I POSSIBLY CAN

AFTER COMING, YOU KNOW,
20‐PLUS HOURS ON A PLANE.

THE PAST COUPLE YEARS
HAVE BEEN TORTUROUS,

AND NOW I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY,

AND I REALLY HOPE THAT VARYA

CAN BRING ME THIS HAPPINESS.

I'M READY.
I'M NOT READY.

OH, MY GOD.

UGH!

I FEEL NERVOUS.

GO TO MEET MY FUTURE
SOULMATE, JEFFREY.

I'VE BEEN WAITING
FOR THIS MOMENT

SO LONG.

OH, MY GOD.

EACH TIME THE DOOR OPENS,

EACH TIME, MY HEART STOPS.

THROUGH THAT DOORWAY

IS MY DESTINY,

OR IT'S GONNA BE THE END.

COME ON.

FINALLY.

WHY ARE YOU UPSET?
I'M SUPER ‐‐

I'M SUPER EXCITED.

OH, IT WAS SUCH
A LONG JOURNEY.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU
SO LONG AND...

FINALLY.

I'M HAPPY.

I HAVE...

GOOSE SKIN.

LET'S ROLL.

IT WAS LIKE A ‐‐
AN ANGEL WAS STANDING THERE.

SHE IS REAL,

AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING
I JUST BUILT UP MY HEAD.

SHE'S, UM...

JUST AS BEAUTIFUL
AS I THOUGHT SHE WAS.

SHE'S EVERYTHING
AND MORE.

WHERE'S OUR TAXI?

UGH.

I THINK
THE TAXI MAN GO AWAY.

I'M SUPER EXCITED
TO BE HERE.

VARYA IS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON,

AND SHE SMELLS REALLY GOOD.

BUT I FEEL A LITTLE AWKWARD.

I FEEL A LITTLE BIT WEIRD.

I'M NERVOUS WHEN IT COMES
TO CHATTING WITH HER.

HOW DO I NEED TO ACT?
YOU KNOW, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

IT'S A LOT DIFFERENT
THAN WHEN WE TALK ON THE PHONE.

HOW WAS THE FLIGHT?

VERY EXHAUSTING.

You DON'T REGRET
YOU COMING TO RUSSIA?

NO. NO REGRETS.
ZERO REGRETS

ME, TOO.

GIVE ME ANOTHER HUG.

IT'S COOL.

UM...

IT'S COOL.

THERE ARE A FEW...

UNCOMFORTABLE SILENCES
BETWEEN US.

I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS.

HE WAS LIKE

A LITTLE BIT SEPARATE, APART,

LIKE HE'S AFRAID

TO DO SOMETHING.

I HOPE THAT AWKWARDNESS
WILL DISSIPATE.

MAYBE I SHOULD PUT YOUR LUGGAGE
AT THE HOTEL

AND GO JUST MAKE OUT.

MAKE OUT?

YOU WANT TO MAKE OUT?

WHAT IS MAKE OUT?

I MEAN, I GUESS WE CAN
MAKE OUT IF YOU GIRL.

WHAT ‐‐
WHAT IS IT...

IT USUALLY HAPPENS
AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.

OH. OH.

YOU KNOW,
THE COUPLE MAKES OUT MAKE OUT.

OH.
YOU KNOW THEY MAKE OUT.

YOU WANT TO GO
HAVE A LITTLE...

WE CAN DO THAT.
YEAH.

WE CAN EAT.

COOL.

SO, WHEN DO WE GO
SEE YOUR FRIENDS.

MAYBE IN
A FEW DAYS.

MY GIRLS ‐‐
THEY WORRY ABOUT ME.

REALLY?

MM‐HMM.

SEND THEM A TEXT.

THAT I'M IN
YOUR HANDS.

HERE, TWIST IT SIDEWAYS.
I LOOK LIKE CRAZY.

YOU READY?

YOU HOLD ME
LIKE A FATHER.

I DON'T HOLD YOU
LIKE A FATHER.

NOW SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS.

OH.

OH! LOOK.

THE TAXI MAN.

‐ALRIGHT. LET'S GO.
‐MAYBE.

THIS TRIP IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO A WONDERFUL FUTURE

WITH THIS WOMAN.

JUST SEEMS A LITTLE AWKWARD,
A LITTLE WEIRD.

YOUR BAG IS OPEN, THOUGH,
SO BE CAREFUL.

SO, HOPEFULLY, WE'LL WEED
THIS AWKWARDNESS OUT

AND CONNECT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M HOPING FOR.

NEXT TIME ON
"BEFORE THE 90 DAYS"...

16 HOURS UNTIL
I MEET THE LOVE OF MY LIFE,

THIS WILL MAKE YOU
REALLY HAPPY.

I WILL LET YOU KNOW
HOW IT WENT.

HELLO.
HI, HONEY.

I'M FLYING TO AUSTRALIA
TO MEET MY GIRLFRIEND, ERICA,

BUT MY MOM DOESN'T KNOW
THAT I'M BISEXUAL.

I'M AFRAID TO TELL HER.

I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND THAT.

WHY ARE YOU GOING THERE
RIGHT NOW?

I REALLY DON'T LIKE
TALKING ABOUT IT.

WHY?

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S GOING ON.

I AM SO CONFUSED.

I'M WORRIED.

MAYBE HE'S GETTING COLD FEET
ABOUT MY VISIT.

THIS IS CRAZY.

THIS MORNING,
I GOT A TEXT FROM STACEY.

WITH SOME PICTURES
OF TOM AND ANOTHER WOMAN

WENT ALL THE WAY TO LONDON
FOR THIS.

WONDER IF HE REALLY
EVER DID LOVE YOU.

IT'S ALL A LITTLE SHADY,
IF YOU ASK ME.

AAAH!

AM I WHAT YOU EXPECTED?
DO YOU LIKE?

HE DID LIE A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT MY HEIGHT.

WELL...

MM.
