The Family Chantel (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - A Thrilla in Manila - full transcript

I feel like maybe royal
doesn't trust you enough.

He needs to trust me because
I'm not doing anything bad.

Now, listen, we will be going
to Asia real soon.

I still don't trust
Angenette's intentions,

but mom just isn't seeing it.

I am looking forward
to meeting Angenette's parents.

Hopefully, they're nice people
and they're not pathetic users.

We're leaving tomorrow
for my brother's wedding

in the Philippines,

and I'm feeling pretty much
the same about Angenette.

She lied to me at the dress
shop straight to my face



saying that she wasn't
fishing for American men

before she met my brother.

- Mom.
- Chantel, is that you?

Yes.

Look what I've got.

Great.
I couldn't find these anywhere.

Mm-hmm.

We're getting ready
to leave the country,

and go to the Philippines,
but all of a sudden,

there's this outbreak
called coronavirus,

and the outbreak
is happening in China.

China is in very close proximity
to the Philippines.

We've packed everything.

Got my soap, my water, my Lysol
and, thanks to you, my masks.



This is a little
unnerving for me

that we are traveling from
the safety of where we are

all the way to the other side
of the world

where the coronavirus is.

I really do not prefer to go
on the plane for that long,

but since it's royal's wedding,

I really want to be there.

Yeah, I wouldn't miss it
for the world.

So, I talked to your brother.

You remember what happened to
royal and Angenette last month?

I remember.

He explained to me that

when they found out they were
expecting, he made a comment,

"what if it's not mine?"

Why do you think
he even said that?

Do you think he thought
something strange

was going on in the Philippines
while he wasn't there?

Maybe he saw something that
looked a little sketchy to him.

I just don't know.

No, not really.

These things are things
that royal's told me before,

and I'm not shocked
to hear them.

I just didn't know that
he was gonna tell my mom.

Royal and I are really close.

He always calls or texts
whenever he has a problem

with Angenette
or if they're ever arguing,

and he tells me things about her

that make me feel like
she's not treating him well.

That's why I've been
so suspicious of her

and worried for my brother,
honestly.

He tells me not to tell anyone,

so now that my mom
knows this information,

it's kind of, like,
a weight off of me.

Before royal gets married
to Angenette

legally in the Philippines,

we need to have conversations

and figure out what Angenette's
true intentions are with him

because I don't trust her.

Yes. Well...

I do not trust her intentions

with my brother
from the beginning.

Well, I know they've been
having their problems, but...

I hear everything.
Every time when they argue,

I get a phone call,
and I know what's going on,

and I don't like the way
she treats him.

I just don't know.
I just really don't know.

Because honestly, royal told me
that she was talking

to four and five guys,
five and six...

Wow... Before they decided

to have a relationship,
and they were all American.

They also share each other's
social-media passwords,

so you know there's
a lot of mistrust there.

Yes. I want to meet
Angenette's parents.

I'd like to have
a conversation with them.

Well, we still don't
even know her that well.

Royal chalks it up to the fact
that she's very shy.

The things that royal has
told me about their arguments

and conversations does not
sound like a shy girl.

Yet when she comes around
and she doesn't open her mouth

to anybody,
royal says that she's shy.

Behind closed doors,
she's being everything but shy.

Is that what you're saying?
Well, yes.

Shy girls don't get out
of their comfort zone

and talk to four
or five American guys.

That's a fishing girl.
That's a sneaky girl.

I know that it's
a sensitive situation.

My family sort of walks
on eggshells around royal

because we don't want
to push him away,

and when he feels uncomfortable,

he distances hisself
from the family.

I'm really glad that all of this
is out in the air,

but I'm going to keep
an open mind.

Keep an open mind, but you have
to have some kind of guard up,

because we don't know this girl.

I always keep my guard up,
trust me. Know that.

We don't know her intentions
upon this family.

I hope that the Philippines
will be a chance

for the entire family
to get to the bottom

of who Angenette really is
and going forward

we can find out more and more
about her motives.

Okay. Alright.

See you at the airport.

Ay!

Oh, wow.

Bye.

It's going to be
a thrillah in Manila.

What the hell...
A pig on a table?

Ah

I'm gonna be so cute.

Ugh. I don't know.

We don't know anything
about Angenette's family.

We don't know anything about
the Philippines, really, at all.

When we went dress-shopping,

I asked her about
how she met royal

and if she messaged
any other guys

before she met royal
that were in America.

And it seemed like
she was about to cry.

I guess I was the only fish
you could catch, as well.

Thanks, hon.

My main goal
is to protect royal.

And I would love for Angenette
to prove me wrong on this trip.

Let's just see what happens.

Everybody's on the same plane.

We're meeting my family
at the airport.

For the plane.

Yeah.

Ayyyyyy!

I hope that this trip
that we will get an opportunity

to actually get to know
the real Angenette.

Well, I'm... you can hope that,
but I'm just going

to see my brother get married
and I'm leaving.

Nothing more, nothing less.

But they're already married.

Well, he wants
to get married again.

I mean, I'm going to see
my brother get married again.

Shoot, when I get married,

I'm having two wedding...
Three weddings.

Everyone has two now.
I'm getting three.

Hmm.

So, we got winter right here.

Winter's styling, profiling.

Look at them.

Okay.

Wow, you guys.
The flight is a 13-hour flight.

We're in for a long journey.

Are you up for it?

Up for the journey.

After learning more about
my son and my daughter-in-law's

relationship, I just don't know
what to think anymore.

Angenettte,
what you doing?! Yeah!

There are a lot of things
that really bother me now.

A lot of information
that I didn't have before,

but I have now.

So I guess
we'll see what happens

once we get to the Philippines.

- Karen, we made it. We're here.
- Yes, we did.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, my gosh. This is amazing.

- Oh, yes.
- I'm so excited.

It's been
a few months since I moved

from the Philippines
to United States,

and I feel so very happy
to be back home,

and I feel very excited
to see my family.

- That flight was too long.
- It was, definitely too long.

That flight was way too long.

Since this is my home country,
I set up some transportation

for the whole family.

- Where we going to stay at?
- Okay, yeah.

You in first.

Whoo-hoo!

Oh, my gosh!

In you get. Spray Lysol.

Spray some Lysol
after the door closes.

We have boots
on the ground right now.

Yes, boots on the ground.
It's going down.

This is great, guys.

I can't wait to meet
Angenette's family.

Hopefully they're nice,
and we're all of one accord.

Right, guys? - Yes.

And if anything does go awry,

it's all for one
and one for all.

If things don't go well
in the Philippines,

it's going to be
a thrillah in Manila.

Are you with me? Are you down?

- Yes.
- Who's not with me?

If you're not with me,
get out... get out the Van.

Just get out of the Van.

Right now, as a family,

we're gonna stay in Manila
for a few days

before we arrive
at Angenette's village.

Oh, we're here already.

We're definitely gonna take in
some of the sights

and kinda learn Angenette's
culture a little bit.

Yeah.

I'm so tired.

Oh, my gosh.

What? Your feet smell.

I smell them now
that I lean down here.

Did you wear socks?
That's the first problem.

The moment
that you took your shoes off,

the room filled with
nacho cheese dorito smell.

The fumes.

Don't blame it
on the Philippines.

You gonna unpack your...
I'm going to unpack my pot.

You'd better be glad
I brought the pot.

I'm glad you brought it because
you think of everything.

You glad I brought the pot?
You think of everything.

I sure do.
This will be my pot spot.

I have a slow cooker.
I brought a slow cooker.

I brought soup.
I brought oatmeal.

Handle all your culinary
needs right here.

I brought shrimp noodles.
I brought Asian noodles.

When else did I bring?
Beef noodles.

Mmm.

If I go to a restaurant
and, you know,

they don't have things
that I can actually eat,

I do intend to ask them if they
don't mind if I hook up my pot.

I'm not allowed to see your
wedding dress, baby.

Alright.

Yeah, the closet's good.

How do you feel
about being here?

I'm excited.

Well, I just hope that
they don't embarrass us.

Mm-hmm. And act a fool.

I know what happened
in the D.R.,

and there's no need for any kind
of drama or any speculations

or any kind of mischief
here in the Philippines.

Uh...

There's a river and there's
alligators in there, so...

Somebody's getting tossed.

- Just chew, just chew.
- It's a bird.

Ew! You bit its head off!

Ay!

Aah!

Ay!

Aah!

Mnh.

Mm-hmm.

Mmm. Mmm.

Oh, wow.

Aww.

Ah?

Mmm.

Mm-hmm.

Sí.

I'm concerned because
I feel as though Angenette,

she might very well
be using my son.

Yeah, I'll eat one.

Oh, yeah!

Come on. Let's go, let's go.

What's a jeepney?

A jeepney is like
this right here.

Yeah, that's so cool.
It's like a bus.

Oh,

- Whoa!
- Royal told me about one.

I can't believe
I'm actually in one now.

- Whoa!
- Whoo!

- This is pretty cool.
- This is cool.

The street is so crowded.

What the hell...
A pig on a table?

- Wow.
- What the...?

I'm not eating this.

Oh, my god.

- Did they just kill a chicken?
- Oh,

I bet Pedro can't wait
to get one of them.

Pedro, does this remind you
of the D.R.?

I don't want it.
I'm not having it.

I'm not gonna eat it.

I'm learning Tagalog,
which is...

Is Angenette's native tongue,

and I know
that some of her relatives

do not speak English.

So I'm learning Tagalog,

and when I say, "no, thank you,"

it will be in Tagalog.

What is that?

Alright. Somebody let me out.

I wish that sometimes
my family would...

...be a little more adventurous.

Oh, lord.

And embrace, like,
the culture here totally.

They shouldn't make
a big deal about it.

If they would just zip it

and open their eyes

They'd be able to see
something new

that might even change their
views on a lot of things.

Come on. Let's go, let's go.

Try and stay close.

Alright, try to stay
close here, though.

Oh, my goodness. What is that?

- It's just a wet market?
- Yeah.

So, it's kind of like a farmer's
market, but outside?

- Okay.
- Hey, guys, we're gonna...

We're gonna go this way
and eat some street food.

Let me see it. Let me see it.

Maybe I'll taste it.
Is it like a boiled egg?

- Duck embryo?
- Yeah.

- Oh, no, I'm good.
- Unh-unh.

- Nah, I can't do that.
- No, I can't do a balut.

Yeah, I'll eat one.

Put a little sauce on it, royal.

- Oh, yeah!
- Oh, my gosh.

- Whoo!
- Who's next? Who's next?

Wait, it has feathers!
Turn it around.

It has feathers.

You're a brave man, royal.

Pedro, for you.

Pedro, are you gonna eat that?

Let me see, okay?

I mean, I have
an adventurous taste in food.

I mean, come on.
I eat Sushi, but...

You can't blame me

for not wanting to eat
a fully-formed duck egg.

Like, a duck.

Pedro, are you
going to eat it, man?

- Let me see, okay?
- That's a duck in there.

- Let me see this.
- You're going to see his head.

If this is
the only thing to eat,

I guarantee you that by the time
I return to America,

I should be 20 pounds lighter.

Don't look, man. Just eat it.

- That's a fully formed bird.
- Om, Nom, Nom.

- Just chew it. Just chew it.
- That's a bird.

Ew, you bit his head off. Pedro.

It had feathers on it
and everything.

Especially the one
that royal ate.

It's not bad, it's not bad,
it's not bad.

- Yeah.
- Let's go.

- Look at something else.
- Hey, yeah. Oh.

- Disgusting, man.
- Gracias.

I mean...

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- We have hot dogs on a stick?
- Yeah.

Who wants a hot dog on stick?

Angenette is definitely
more comfortable back home

in the Philippines.

She is more confident,
more talkative,

and definitely more aggressive.

Maybe this is the real her.

I'm concerned because
I feel as though Angenette,

she might very well
be using my son.

I hope that's not the case,
but if it is,

there is a thing called Karma,

and the last time I checked,
Karma is a mother.

I'm a mother. Karma is a mother.

So if her intention
is to use my son,

then she can look forward
to the mother and the mother.

Karma.

I'm ready to go
back to the hotel.

Lidia.

Bueno.

Okay.

Why?

Um...

Really?

I don't remember
saying anything like that.
