All language subtitles for Longest.Third.Date.2023.WEBRip.NF.en

Quiet, please.

Take one, mark.

Greg, can you double-check our marks?

I was on time, right? I was super on time.

Not for my dates with Khani,
but today, I was on time.

Matt and I met on the dating app Hinge.

Swiped right.
Broke my streak of 58 nos.

She had a picture of her surfing.

I wanted to find someone that's fun.
We're going to travel and adventure.

That was my priority.

I couldn't get a read on him.

Every image was so different.

There was one answer on Matt's profile

where he's like, "I'm looking
for a partner to compliment my lifestyle."

This guy's looking for a life partner,
definitely not for me.

I wanted to put myself out there,
just to have fun, nothing really serious.

But let's try it, whatever.

Eventually, it was,
"Oh, you're matched."

Then it was like,
"I have to say something."

"Hi, beautiful."
Smiley face, and that was it.

I never envisioned
what's in store for us next,

but we're matched, we're talking.

Guess we're just gonna go on a date now.

Might as well.

Oh, my God, Indian food.
This is really bold for a first date.

We ordered some drinks.

He was taking pictures
of his food, the cocktails.

I started drinking.
"No! It's a beautiful drink."

"You should take a picture."
So, I'm like, "Okay."

"This guy wants to document everything.
Have at it," you know?

It was so easy,
talking about travels and our families,

and it was just effortless. We clicked.

We ended up staying a lot longer
than I thought we were even there for.

I think we left at 1:00 a.m.

We gotta go.

Really? Just a... Just a cheek kiss?

Okay, like, "See you later."

I just walked home, like,

"That was a great first date.
You know what? I'm gonna text him."

This girl knows what she wants.

That's kind of sexy.
She's like, "Kiss me, damn it."

We're gonna drink beers
and throw axes. Cool, yeah.

It was me and Matt
and then one of his oldest friends, Mike.

I never feel like a third wheel.
We're just hanging out.

It was funny though.
Maybe that was his plan too.

"Bring the Asian friend along
so the Asian girl likes it."

"Look, Khani,
I have Asian friends."

Cheers!

After my other Hinge dates,
just run-of-the-mill,

I'm like, "This is more memorable."

Things seemed to go
in the right direction,

where it's like,
"This wasn't a fluke, the first date."

"This will be another date
where he doesn't kiss me."

"See you later." Go home.
Like, "Okay, whatever." But...

Matt finally kissed me.

Finally, you know.

It was a good kiss.

For our third date,
it went from 0 to 100 real quick.

It got to the point
where I guess we're not joking.

Huh?

Are you serious?

Third date, Costa Rica?

Um...

Okay. Let's just do it, you know?

I said yes,
just throwing caution to the wind.

Kinda like, all right, go with the flow,
see what happens.

I was definitely texting my friends.

No, I don't get
murdery, stalkery vibes from him.

And then my best friend, Liz,
she's really good with advice.

I said, "You're gonna go?"
She said, "He bought the tickets."

I said, "That doesn't mean
you have to go!"

I made sure that Khani
turned her location on.

I told her never to turn it off.

Her motto in life
was always, "Live fast, die pretty."

I was like, "Maybe you could live
a little longer and die adequate?"

He was asking me,
"What do you think? It's crazy, right?"

I go, "Yeah, it is crazy."

It's at the early stages
of what would become the coronavirus,

and I'm dismissive of this pandemic
really being anything to worry about.

He's just like "YOLO."

I'm like, "NOLO."

"You only live once.
What's the worst that could happen?"

Really doing this. YOLO.

All right, we out here. Airport is dead.

I'm filming it like I normally would,
just travel vlogs.

Matt is a person
who vlogs himself all the time.

He just can't stop.

About to go see
what this day has in store.

I was half-expecting
that she wouldn't be there.

I was just not really trying
to think much about it.

I feel like if I sit on it too long
and get into it,

I'd probably back out.

Because I didn't tell my work.

I was trying to go there and back
without them noticing.

Called my mom.
I didn't tell her until it was happening,

'cause I feel
like she'd talk me out of it.

She was like, "Okay,
I'm not surprised. I can't stop you."

"Am I worried? Yes."

"But I hope you have a good time
if you actually go." You know?

"All right. Mom's fine with it.
My best friend's fine with it."

I did not, however, tell my dad.

Here we go, moment of truth.

She was there, early.
Beat me there. Ready to go.

- This is the whole flight.
- This is it?

- This is the whole flight.
- We all here! We all here!

Matt ended up filming,
basically, the entire thing.

Kill me!

Look at this.

- Hey, you want some help?
- No.

So determined.

Packed flight.

We appreciate you
coming with us, you few brave souls.

Things to put your minds at ease...

None of us of the crew
has this coronavirus,

so that's the good news.

The other good news
is we have toilet paper on this flight.

So you'll be happy to know that as well.

What do you think, Khani?

- You regretting your decision yet?
- Fuck us.

Even though I always do this,

"adventure,
push yourself out of your comfort zone,"

is this too far?

"Do you take a girl on your third date?
Is this gonna go terribly wrong?"

Asking myself,
"When is my luck gonna run out?"

We made it.

Barely.

Barely. It's all part of the fun.

Finally get to the hotel.
This is the start of the date,

but we're tired, it's late,
we've been traveling all day.

It didn't really dawn on me
until at that moment,

"Oh."

"We have to sleep together in this room."

"Do I make a move tonight?"
That's going to be a first.

The vibes weren't quite the same.

We just didn't have that touching
and flirting quite as much.

"Okay, I'm just gonna sleep
over here on my side."

"You can, like, sleep on your side."

If things go weird, I'm out of here.
"See you later, never talk to you again."

And like, "I'll figure out my own way
and take care of myself."

I hope this goes well
these next few days.

- Got the key?
- Sí.

All right. Time to explore.

Are you still listening to your call?

Yeah. Half-listening.

Half-listening?

Is it exciting?

No.

We definitely had our share
of awkward moments.

- Here we go again.
- Ow, my...

Can't handle the seat again.

You'll be all bruised up.

I take video though.

- Watch it later.
- Is that what's going on?

Yeah, you're on camera. Smile.

Shake your ass.

It didn't help
that Matt was filming so much.

Are you an influencer, Matt?

No.

One day.

Perfecto.

At that time, I was working
with influencers. Oh, my God, so annoying!

If I had red flags or deal-breakers,

it'd be, "I don't want to date
an influencer-type person."

I didn't find out until Costa Rica.
"This guy's trying to be a vlogger."

And I told him
how much I hated influencers.

- What are you doing?
- Vamanos.

What are you making?

We'll hang out, but I'll get
some cool content in Costa Rica.

I'll take advantage of this opportunity,

throw it up on YouTube,
get those followers.

My name is Matt Robertson,
and I'm done following the status quo.

This is the beginning
of my new life filled with adventure,

travel, and new experiences.

I'm gonna make mistakes.

I'm gonna make memories.

I'm gonna make my life a movie.

If I saw this, I wouldn't have gone
on the first date with him.

Why am I not surprised
at this promo trailer for his life?

Movie Matt!

Yeah, that's a fun handle.

"Make life a movie.
Subscribe!" I like this guy.

Salud.

The more we drank,
the more comfortable we became.

What's the term, "social lubricant"?
Yeah, you could say that.

We definitely had
that energy again pick up

and start to be flirty.

Come on.

That's when it started
getting very relaxed and casual.

We're starting
to get more affectionate.

Uno mas?

The vibe was great.
I was really happy about it.

It didn't even cross my mind,
"My God, what does he think of me?"

Thought it was just,
you know, a fun vacation.

I was so desperate to just feel free.

A lot of the relationships I'd been in
just left a really bad taste in my mouth.

If I made more money than them,
if I had more ambition than them,

more friends than them,
it would always make the guy insecure,

and they would lash out about it.

I always had to hide.
I wasn't able to be myself.

That drained a lot out of me,

and I was not in a rush
to get back into a relationship.

I was just excited
to spend time on my own,

completely without anyone to take care of.

For me, I always saw dating
and, like, a serious relationship

as something I would do later.

I was going out a lot,
working in spirits and nightlife.

Through that, it was convenient

to date people that I would meet
out at a bar, a club, an industry event.

Insta-girls.

You know?

After being stuck
in a bad relationship for so long,

I wanted to go out and have fun.

Neither one of us
were looking to change our ways.

It was the perfect little vacation
to start out.

I think it was day four

where things really started to get real.

Good morning, y'all.

Today, we're going to try again
to go zip-lining.

Yesterday, we failed and were too late.

Overslept a little bit.

Two-hour time difference,
still haven't adjusted.

And having a little bit
too much fun I guess, too.

Man-bun looking crazy.

- Hello, Khani.
- Hi.

It's nice and tight.
Has to be that tight? Careful!

Careful. Yeah. See?

- No, make it tighter.
- No!

Are you scared, Khani?

No. Are you?
You're the one afraid of heights.

I'm not scared of heights.

First time zip-lining.

Here we go. Lean back.

- I am!
- Lean back more.

Put your neck on this side,
then you can be forward.

This side? Okay.

Coming in hot!

Khani's my fanner. What service.

- Flight's been canceled.
- No!

"Urgent information about your trip."

"Canceled."

This isn't real, you know.
They didn't really cancel it.

What are they thinking?
We have to get home.

Things are going well, right?

At this point, I'm not really worried
about us having that vibe

and that connection.

More time for drinking
and the beach. Cool.

Well, Khani...

- Stuck here with you now.
- Stuck here with me.

- Lucky you.
- Am I?

I don't know.

- We'll find out.
- Yeah.

Time will tell.

Getting stuck with Matt, I was like,
"Okay, he's cutting my time short."

Like, spending this time by myself.

I'm perfectly content being single.

Too soon. I don't need a guy.

But now I have no choice.

Breaking news. Stay at home.

That is the order tonight
from four state governors

as the coronavirus pandemic spreads.

The great shutdown of 2020 is underway.

We know the hospital surge is coming.

The US borders
to Mexico and Canada

set to close to non-essential travel.

That's why the flight's canceled.

People can't come and go right now.

This shit's starting to get real.

Level four travel advisory.
No flights in or out, anywhere.

Might be here a little longer
than I thought.

Good morning, everybody.

Starting to get real
that I'm not going home.

It's definitely scary
being in a foreign country

not knowing how crazy it'll get here.

About to go to the beach.
Damn police showed up.

Each day got more and more intense
in what was happening back home.

The lower risk individuals...

New York
looks like the worst place to be.

So, trying to feel better,
"You did the right thing. Good call."

"You're in Costa Rica. There's nothing...
There's no coronavirus here."

Swimming world championships.

Today's competition...

What is the stroke again?
Butterfly stroke.

- I can't do butter... Breaststroke.
- I mean, breaststroke.

My mom, she's a nurse,

and she was assigned to help treat
the COVID patients at her hospital.

So, I was worried.

"Mom, are you going to be safe?
What will you do?"

You hear all the stories
about frontline workers

and nurses and stuff
and how they are exhausted.

And being so far away,
I felt a little helpless

knowing I couldn't fly home
if I needed to.

I also felt guilty
about not being honest with my dad

that I was here with a guy.

She lies to protect herself.

Like, "They don't need to know."

I will admit, growing up,
I had a compulsive lying disorder

because I had so much to hide
from my parents.

They were very strict.

Mommy is not gonna allow it in the house.

She doesn't like
dogs or cats in the house.

When she moved in with me in college,
it was because her dad kicked her out.

And so, then it was like,
"Okay, let's tread lightly."

With my dad, some things
are just better left unsaid with him.

My mom said, "You should
tell him you're in Costa Rica."

When she said she was with coworkers,
I was like, "Okay, got that lie."

"Check."

I thought he'd say, "You're crazy."
But he said, "Good, get out of New York."

"It's not safe there.
It's the epicenter of everything."

"Whew, you made a smart decision."
Which is really surprising.

I'm like, "My dad thinks
I made a smart decision?"

Sometimes, things are better
to tell him after the fact.

Mike asked if your work
knew that you were here?

So, Mike's all about puns.

He said, "What a Khan job that was."

- That's a good one.
- Yeah.

I didn't have as strict
of an upbringing as her, for sure.

But growing up, I was super lucky
to have such supportive parents,

family, friends,
grandparents, extended family,

that I think, looking back,
led to the confidence

and outlook on life that I have.

I do have that bottle of rum you gave me.

That's fine.
We can drink that later.

- I'd rather have gin and tonic.
- I never opened it, so...

At that point,

I tried so hard
not to even think about the fact

that I couldn't be with them.

We just felt really far away from it all.

Kind of over here,

watching this movie transpire,
only with each other.

What's up, y'all?
It's your boy Movie Matt.

Just got some pretty unsettling news

that someone tested positive for corona
in my grandfather's senior home.

I guess they're in a full lockdown and...

just hoping everything's all right
and my grandfather will stay safe.

Stay tuned and stay safe.

I knew Matt was worried,
but he was shrugging it off,

like, "Oh, yeah, you know.
Like, he's fine."

He didn't want
to come across too vulnerable.

I think that was something
we both were doing.

Neither of us wanted
to let our guard down at that point.

In my mind, I'm like,
"When will we get home?"

And there's still no flights.

Then it was just,
"Okay, we're stuck here together."

"We got to figure things out."

Now I'm with this girl
that I don't know that well

for an extended amount of time.
I was worried about a few days.

Now we're going on a full week.

We're running out of clothes to wear,
out of new things to talk about.

I wanted that dynamic to change,
so I had to switch up the approach.

Matt, he saw a pirate ship
just floating by.

It looks like it used to be
a really popular tourist attraction,

but it's seen better days.

So I make an arrangement.
We'll do a date night on the pirate ship.

I'm like, "The beach is closed.
We can't go there."

He's like, "There's always a way."

♪ Walking down, burning up ♪

♪ I look at you and light it up ♪

♪ You're a sight for sore eyes... ♪

Coming up on The Black Pearl here.

I knew my destiny
would be complete one day.

This is the moment I've been waiting for.

We're... Oh!

Captain Jack Sparrow has seen better days.

Got my fish. Check him out.

- Maybe you jump off of this?
- Yeah? Gonna walk the plank?

In all of the relationships
I've been in,

I've been the one coming up with ideas,

so it felt new and exciting.

It was perfect timing.
The sun's setting. It looks really pretty.

We're jumping off into the ocean.

♪ You're a sight for sore eyes ♪

♪ Don't know why I hesitate when I can... ♪

We're about to jump off.

Perla Negra.

One, two, three.

Yeah, there's a little bit
of thought in it.

I guess that was the start
of the turning point for us.

♪ I don't wanna hesitate ♪

We would've stayed
at the hotel as long as we could,

but they said,
"We're shutting down. You have to leave."

We had a flight home, finally.

But it didn't leave for three weeks.

The plan was to hunker down
in an Airbnb until then.

I wasn't excited
about this forced living situation,

but it felt like Matt and I needed to be
on the same page to get through this.

- We made it.
- Made it.

Casa Divina.

That Airbnb in Montezuma,

a nice lady who felt for our situation
hooked us up with a great deal.

We're stuck here. This is gonna be home.

What's up, y'all? It's day 11.

Uh, wait. No, it's day... It's day 12.

Trying to figure out
how to survive out here in Costa Rica.

When we got to Montezuma,
there were already rules

about what days you could leave.

You were only allowed to leave

to go to the hospital,
pharmacy, or grocery store.

It's one thing to drink and eat
and hang out together,

but now, we're gonna
basically move in together.

Should we sanitize
any of this stuff?

I dunno.
I think we'll be all right.

She was like,
"I don't know what to think."

"He's recording everything."

"There's probably some
going to the bathroom."

Khani's kitchen.

In this type of situation,
where you're just together 24-7,

there's almost no motive
to try to be anything but yourself.

Todo bien.

Ready to survive the apocalypse.

Maybe it should've been expected
with the handle "Movie Matt."

Like, his life's a movie.

Look, our friend came to see us.

Hey, buddy.

No, it's okay. Look, look, look, look.

Oh, food.

- Ooh! There we go.
- Oh!

Spike was the iguana
that lived in Montezuma.

See, we're friends.

Come on, bro.
Thought we had an understanding.

You feel safer down there?

That's where he lives. His house.

Oh-for-one.

Your turn.

I don't know about this.

Oh!

When you're seeing a guy
for the first time,

you want to put on your best outfits.

I'm like, "Oh, no.
He's seen me drenched in sweat."

"He's seen me, you know, no makeup on."

There's no point trying to look good
because it won't work.

What he sees is what he gets.
We're just still having fun.

My mindset was,
"This is still just a fling."

"This is a fun guy, memorable experience."

"This is just a situation
we just happen to be in,

but I hope it's not a relationship."

Meanwhile...

Doing her yoga.

Hello?

I very much prioritize work
over anything else.

Matt makes his own schedule.
I have a very strict nine-to-six.

We have to be working that entire time,
and I can't afford to lose my job.

What are you doing?

I don't want to get to a point
where I'm stuck in this country,

dependent on this guy.

I wasn't thinking,
"Future. This could be a relationship."

It was more,
"I need to keep the vibes going."

I wanted to keep it going,
but I didn't know where it was going to.

He's tired.

Kill something.

Being quarantined, the two of us,
it's like you can't do anything,

so I would try to jam-pack
the days with activities.

"We're taking a magic class.
Now we're doing the tango lesson."

Just all these little mini dates
within the day.

♪ They say you know when you know ♪

♪ And I'm not ready to go... ♪

We ended up having
different cooking nights.

Every night's a different cuisine.

Squid, tuna, toros.

It was a great opportunity
to get to know Khani

and discover how amazing she is.

Genuine, caring, thoughtful.

I mean, the total package.

We get the most beautiful beach
all to ourselves.

Beachside bartender.

Lime tea.

So, we turned this into a nudist colony.

First time fucking on a lifeguard stand.

Oh, my God!

I was trying
to sneakily just glaze over that.

Chemistry was definitely intensifying.

There's some passion there and

a lot of great sex.

Yeah, there were definitely sparks.
When you're stuck together,

there's not much else to do
but drink and fuck. So...

There goes la policia.

They said hi and they said bye.

Khani flashed them.

Everything was good.

Work was getting done. We got some sun.

But, you know, not expecting
to be there for as long as we were,

my birth control runs out.

Let me just find a pharmacy
and see what they would recommend.

I bring my pack. I'm like, "Hey, do you
have anything similar to this one?"

They said, "We have this.
It's pretty much the same."

Let me just google this brand
and see what it's like.

I saw a press release, "If you're using
these brands, be careful."

"They've been sold on the black market
and some pills are fake."

"There have been reports of pregnancy
from using this birth control."

I'm like, "Oh, this isn't good."

I'm hoping, because I got mine
from a pharmacy,

it's legit and nothing will happen. Um...

Why'd you invite your friend?

Spike.

All right, Spike's outta here.

- He doesn't know what to do!
- You're so dumb!

Spike. Oh, Spike!

Spike's so dumb. Spike's blind.

He's not dumb!

What could possibly go wrong?

I really wanted
to cut the man-bun off,

but I got cold feet.

- Something happened over here.
- If you don't notice it, then it's okay.

It didn't feel like a...

...a good little cut there.

I think you moved when I did that.

I don't think I did.
But there's a little patch here.

Hey! Stop!

I'm trying to protect the bed!

Montezuma is when a lot
of the bugs came out.

So many insects, bugs, creatures.

- Look what's happening here.
- Ew!

Where did that come from?

I don't know, but there's a lot.

Look at the size of that spider.

Oh!

- There we go.
- Oh, my God! It's alive! Hell, no!

What the fuck is that?

Dead! Bitch.

- Khani, how are you feeling?
- Itchy.

- She's feeling bitchy.
- "Itchy"!

Oh, she's feeling itchy.

It's not just the sight of it,
or, "This is scary."

My whole body was covered in bug bites.

- Those are new ones?
- Yeah.

Look at you. You're a big mess.

My skin blows up,
I get really itchy.

I mean, she was in actual pain.
Like, physical pain.

Each day, I'm like,
"What's it going to be now?"

Or, "What am I gonna have to do
to get through this?"

Saturday morning.
I've never made pancakes.

But I feel like I have not been doing

the bulk of the cooking, cleaning,
any of those things around here.

So, I'm gonna start the weekend off right
by making pancakes.

All right, guess I'll just put
some in here, not sure how much.

Put some chocolate chips in mine.

Don't tell me what to do.

I'm requesting.
I'm not demanding like you are.

There's gonna be multiple varieties
of pancakes today.

Uh-oh. Seems a little...

Did you put oil down?

No, didn't tell me.

Supposed to be "no-stick."

Living with a guy, which I did before,

it felt like I was going back
into old patterns,

which is why I was a little bit, like...

Ugh, I just... I don't want
to get back into that habit

of always putting a guy above myself.

I lose myself as a person when I'm in it.

I don't care about my needs,

and I let them trample
over every ounce of being that I am.

It was just not something I wanted at all.

You know, you're out here
for three weeks with just one person,

it's a lot of time together.

And somebody you don't
even really know like that,

well,

it can get, um, a little taxing.
You get a little tired of that.

I'm not ready for...

marriage anytime soon, that's for sure.

It's not even like a normal relationship.

'Cause in a normal relationship,
you can leave and do your own thing and...

In this case, locked up,

quarantined abroad,

spending 24 hours a day with somebody.

My parents didn't flee
from Vietnam for me to live like this!

How are you doing
with these power outages?

Not good. I was in the middle
of getting a cockroach off the bed.

Oh.

There's definitely points of pressure
and things going on,

where one of us may be not feeling
so great that day, or feeling overwhelmed,

but you're not in a relationship
with this person,

so do you confide in them?

It was weird.

Guys, amazing news.
We're leaving the house! Time to explore.

Finally!

Finally, Khani is ready.

Fin... Hey!

Only taken you all day to get ready.

- Throw your little thingy out the window.
- Don't throw my thingy.

All right, so we're on the way
to Cabuya Island.

This is a famous, famous island,

'cause it's a haunted island
in Costa Rica.

- How long does it take to get there?
- Forty minutes.

Forty minutes?
We're gonna be out past curfew.

Good spot to take a dip.

Oh, my God!

What the fuck?

That's not good.

What the fuck?

I can't!

It won't let me open the door.

We're fine.
We just gotta... push a little bit.

Why won't it let you open?

Should I climb out the window?

I don't know.

Matt! Oh, my God.

Could be a matter of seconds
before this thing gets submerged,

or water's coming in, or we flip over.

I'm also worried when she gets out,

maybe this is going to shift the weight,
and I'm just gonna go in.

Holy shit.

How bad is it?

Like, the wheel's
not even touching the... Yeah.

It's really bad.

Oh, wow!

Next thought, now that we're out and safe...

"This is going to be expensive."

All right, so...

I'm not strong enough
for any of this.

How are we gonna get out of here?
It's getting dark.

We need to try
to get this out of the lagoon.

We see a car driving by.

We flag it down.

Before you know it,
the whole village came out.

There was a dozen people.

Can't make this shit up, y'all.

We got rope.

Someone had a truck and they hooked it up.

It was a whole team effort
to get this thing out.

It's just
the spirit of Costa Ricans.

They're always willing to help,
always jumping in.

Good times, y'all. Good times.

Beautiful day to sun yourself,

here at the local Cóbano
mechanics' station.

Asian drivers are not bad drivers. He is.

Thank you for calling
the Elite Member line.

Sir, how can I help you today?

The flight that I had
is not showing in my trips anymore.

Yeah, from what I'm showing,
it looks like any routes available

isn't until June 2nd.

Is when we're opening up that route again.

Okay.

So, that's Tuesday, June 2nd.

Confirmation emails
with the updated itinerary

are being sent out, so you should
be receiving that shortly.

All right. Thank you so much.

- Pray for us.
- Yeah.

- No problem, thank you.
- Thanks.

- Have a great day.
- Bye.

She didn't get my joke.

Longest third date in history...

...just got a lot, lot longer.

It was just like,
"Okay, enough's enough."

"I just want to go home."

But the world is shut down,
and that's just not an option.

I don't know when we'll get out of here,
if we'll get out of here,

how things will change.

It was
a little bit unbearable, so...

Khani's talking tough today, y'all.

And we are celebrating day 30
by taking 30 shots.

Thirty for thirty.

Thirty days abroad, 30 shots.
That's what's going down.

Twenty-eight to go.

I realized it's not just my vlog anymore,

and I think that's reflected
in the footage,

where I'm not performing.

I'm not like,
"Hey, let's go on an adventure."

We're still stuck, uh, drinking again.
It's 11:00 in the morning.

How long will this go on for?

You start to look internally
and ask yourself questions.

"What do you want from life?
What will happen?"

And some walls started to come down.

Hello?

It's Khani reporting from Costa Rica.

I don't know if I will survive this.

But we shall find out.

So, we could go... here,

over here, and then down here somewhere.

Being with Matt, he was someone
who liked to take care of a lot of things.

He would always be
the first to take charge of plans

if we need to fix something
or go somewhere.

I was really starting to notice
that quality in him and appreciate it.

Hearing about some
of her past, not-so-great relationships,

I couldn't believe
that anyone would treat her that way.

So, in my mind, I was like,
"You better not fuck it up."

"You better make up
for all those assholes that missed out."

All right, that's a wrap for Casa Divina.

It's been a wonderful stay.

If this is how things keep going,

why don't we just try
to find other places?

This became a pattern,
where I copy-paste this chain message

that I send to all the Airbnbs,

update the number of days
that we've been stuck,

hope they feel bad for us
and give us a good rate.

I remember you telling me
about your other amazing Hinge dates.

- You were my first!
- Yeah, yeah. Did not kiss you.

You didn't like it.

I felt like I needed
to have you thinking a little like, "Huh."

"What did I do wrong?"

There was nothing wrong with me,
it was you!

Good news. We finally made it.
It's an interesting one.

A little pet cemetery when we walk in.

Cacao and Acerola, rest in peace.

There's another one. "Papaya." Oh, no!

These are plants, the names of plants.

- Here's the bathroom.
- Okay?

Are you just gonna, like,
see me shit and piss here, or what?

Headed to the jungle.

The jungle?
We're going camping.

Being out in the darkness of the jungle,
Matt wants to light a fire and cook.

I don't think Khani was a big fan.

It was...

Yeah.

Look at that Asian squat, y'all.

I felt like the trust
between us naturally built,

just trying to survive with each other.

The fact that we're both
go-with-the-flow, we're chill,

we're both adventurous,
it just kind of worked.

We just felt it out.

We didn't know what we were doing,
but we adapted.

Over the course of these several weeks,

I'm going from, "This is just a vacation,"

to, "I'm starting to fall for this girl."

And trying to fight that feeling, I think.

My old self being like, "No, no, no."

Like, "You gotta stay a bachelor.
Don't do this."

Your turn, buddy.

You gonna stay by yourself,
or play with your friends?

It was like devil and angel
on my shoulder.

That's a couple
and that's a couple.

Oh, wow.

My parents would check in,

like, "Make sure you guys
go everywhere together,

stay in one group." You know?

But, yeah, he didn't suspect a thing.

With my mom,
she never wanted to let us worry.

She's like, "It's fine.
I'm excited to be helping."

Her positive, optimistic view of it all
settled my concerns a little bit.

We made it to our new home.

Oh, with a doggy!

Khani found a new dog already.

Just woke up.
Finally got a decent night's sleep.

Opened the shade here,
expecting to see the amazing volcano.

But no, just clouds.
It's completely covered. No volcano.

Little disappointed.
Hopefully, it gets clear.

There is horses though.

La Fortuna,
that's the week that I was supposed

to get my period on birth control.

It wasn't coming, and I've been
pretty regular for the past, what,

14, 15 years at that point?

I'm like, "I always get it on Tuesdays."
And then Tuesday's here, it's not here.

A couple of days go by, and...

I hope I didn't get one
of the janky birth control packets.

I'm like, "It's just a few days late,
give it some time."

Wait, show me.

It was
a really stressful situation.

I was just trying to rationalize
why it didn't come when it usually did.

I didn't want to stress about it too much
until I knew for sure,

but we both didn't want children.

Matt, he always went out of his way
to try to make me feel comfortable.

He would always bring me a drink.

The littlest things
I wouldn't think he'd pick up on.

He was just trying to be supportive
and anticipate my needs,

and that was a new experience for me.

She was super supportive
and always trying to do the same for me.

Not too bad.

Overall.

I'm gonna eat some pasta.

I wasn't trying to think too much into it,

but in my mind,
I was like, "We have to get back home."

"We can't have a kid in another country."

To be continued, world.

- Fall in love with me yet?
- I was just going to say the same thing.

I don't fall in love anymore.

I don't catch feelings.
I don't have any feelings.

You're a numb robot.

Exactly.

It's in the past.

Michael?

What is up, Mateo?

Hi, Callie.

Hi, Uncle Matt.

How are you?

Good. I'm jealous
you're stuck in Costa Rica.

Yeah, I know, I'm stuck here.

They started doing Zoom calls
with me to make margaritas.

And it was nice for me

to actually have
these fun little adult moments.

Because I was going
through my divorce at that time.

He was going through
all of this stuff himself.

I think if you're really close to people
and they're going through something,

they'll call you all the time,
and I had a lot of space to talk.

At that point,
Matt wants to hear from Liz.

"Let me meet one of your friends."

He wants to meet you. This is Elizabeth.

- Hey, Elizabeth.
- My girlfriend.

- Hi!
- How you doing?

I'm good. How are you?

When I heard he wanted
to talk to me, I was like...

"Are you going to be super cheesy and tell
me all the things I want to hear?"

I was kind of surprised.

I was like,
"She might be as crazy as I am."

She is, for sure.
I feel like you've met your match.

He seemed really interested in
getting to know who she was as a person.

And he liked the bad things
about her. You know?

So, I think that's how you know
that they really care about your friend.

I just don't know the details
of when we get back to New York.

Like, how that... will, you know, transpire.

Oh! I think you're... Wait.

Oh! She's gonna think I hung up on her.

Call her back.

What are we gonna do?

I've always
been close to my grandpa.

Thinking about him
going through this alone was difficult.

You feel kind of helpless
where it's like you can't do anything.

All you can do is call or FaceTime.

And, you know, what do you say?

It's still not the same as being there.

It'd be nice to be back home now.

All right, quarantine is not over.

But you get a 24-hour hall pass
where everything is back to normal.

What are you doing in 24 hours?

Going to a bar,

getting my nails done.

As I got to know Matt, I'm like,

"He's someone I wouldn't mind
being in a relationship with."

But part of it was just an internal battle

where I felt I was betraying myself.

Matt didn't have the red flags
I had with my last relationship.

He made me feel
comfortable being with him.

He accepted me for who I was,

never made me feel wrong
for doing anything I wanted to do.

And so, I feel like that
really let me really be myself

and not want to hide things from him.

For me,

assuming I haven't just had
a super amazing fresh haircut

from Khani's Cuts,

then I would get a haircut.

I realized that a relationship

didn't have to be the bad things
I've experienced in the past.

- A massage.
- Yeah, I'll get a massage too.

It could be like this.

- What are you doing?
- It's time for an adventure!

To the volcano-hot springs-waterfall-lake.

All right.

"During the winter, avoid blah, blah,
unpredictable something." It's summer.

"Wildlife." Yep, there's a lot of it.

- You wanna use the bathroom?
- Hell, no.

You want to stop at the bar?

You can hear the river already.

Oh, there's a doggy.

Found ourselves a tour guide.

And three dogs.

A lot of the trip,
even if feelings are happening,

she was definitely keeping
that stone-cold face of no feelings.

"Whatever." I was like, "There's no way."

"I'm feeling this.
She has to feel something."

We made it.

Hi, bud.

We never really talk
about what happens after,

so, in my head, I'm like, "Okay."

"He's not bringing it up.
Maybe we'll just go our separate ways."

I didn't want to let my guard down.

I'm not gonna ride up this mountain
with you, only to be tumbling down.

Pura vida.

Pura vida.

We were both probably thinking that,
but no one's bringing it up,

so we're not gonna talk about it
until we have to.

What a view.

Hey!

This went on for a while.

Time, and everything that happened,
I feel like, brought those walls down

and wore down my ability to fight it.

That's when I was like, "Okay."

It started to be "we" and not just "me."

♪ Tell me that your love is a sure thing ♪

♪ Tell me that your love is a sure thing ♪

We survived, man.

Forty-foot waterfall.

- Epic jump off that shit.
- You got the GoPro, right?

Oh, man!

Fuck! Un momento.
I forgot the fucking GoPro.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Khani has her coconut.

We're in our four-wheel-drive mode.

We have two hours to get to civilization.

It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

It's gonna be a bumpy ride,
just like the whole trip.

When we got back to San José,
my period finally came.

I'm like, "Crisis averted."

We can go back
to our regularly-scheduled programming.

That Costa Rican birth control
came through in the clutch.

After everything
that's happened to us,

finally, some good news.

It was a big sigh of relief.

♪ I wanna say that you're mine ♪

♪ So if you're not ready yet, I'll wait ♪

♪ I'll wait ♪

♪ 'Cause when it's good, it's great ♪

What's going on over there?

What's up, everyone? My name is Matt.

I've been quarantined
in Costa Rica for six weeks.

Just wait.

What's up, everyone?

What's up, everyone? My name is Matt.

I've been quarantined in Costa Rica
for six weeks.

But just wait,
that's not even the craziest part.

Everyone, meet Khani.

The most beautiful girl
in all of Costa Rica.

- Such a sweet talker.
- Look at her. Where are you going?

I don't know what he's told you,
but he's trapped me here.

He's making me work out,
making me cook for him.

Help! Someone help me
before he falls in love with me.

Hey!

First of all, I think you got it twisted.

I will not fall in love with you.
Maybe the other way around.

- I don't catch feelings.
- Yeah, right!

I think we've both had
a good time here though.

Hmm. Debatable.

When I posted the vlog
introducing Khani for the first time,

that was my way of being like,

"We're going to take a next step here.
I'm just putting it out there."

♪ Isn't that what we both need? ♪

It's girls' day,

and seeing as Khani has no girls here,

I'm the fill-in.

I'm a woman again,
with my nice, beautiful lashes.

I lost my beard.

- He looks like a baby again.
- El guapo.

It felt like, "All right, we're a unit
and a couple," without declaring it.

What color do you want?
I'm gonna love all of them.

- Khani is hangry.
- No, I'm not!

This is a hangry emergency.

- What are we doing today, Khani?
- We're getting tattoos.

Khani is getting her rib tattooed
with "pura vida,"

but she forgot to wear deodorant today.

It wasn't like it was his name.

It was just to commemorate
the time we spent here together.

It means "pure life."

Really enjoying it,
living it to the fullest.

That's what we were doing in Costa Rica.

In the end, I decided to add an iguana.

Spike's gonna go right here.

Now, he's still here,
mocking me forever.

Pura vida.

- You're blinding me!
- Are you getting angry yet?

No. Could I get angry
at your cutie-patootie face?

- Let's go eat.
- Bam!

Violence is not the answer.

You're a scaredy-cat!

♪ We ain't gonna live forever ♪

♪ So we should just get together ♪

When I posted the vlog about Khani,

I had no idea how many people
were gonna see this thing.

One girl that follows me, she saw it,
and was like, "Hey, can I share this?"

People Magazine was one
of the first interviews.

That just started this whole whirlwind
of everyone finding out.

From there, it was
one interview after another.

Matt Robertson and Khani Le
stranded in Costa Rica.

I went from being very private
about even casual relationships,

to now the whole world is going to know
that I have a self-declared girlfriend.

One of the earlier
interviews we did,

the interviewer asks us,
"Are you guys boyfriend and girlfriend?"

And Matt was just like, "Yeah, we are."

And in my head, I was like, "Oh, we are?"

Matt's walking around
like he didn't even say it.

I'm sick of you!

Why?

And, honestly, I didn't love
having my private life out there

for all the world to see.

My cousins started seeing it.
My aunts started texting my mom.

Khani's lies were catching up
with her, yep.

I knew it would get back to my work,
so I set up a call to my boss.

"Just to let you know,
something's coming out

about where I've really been
the past few months."

"I've actually been
in Costa Rica with a guy."

They thought it was super funny.
"Oh, thank God."

It got to where I was just worrying

that my dad might see it already.

But I still couldn't
bring myself to tell him.

I feel tense!

- Why? We just did this.
- Oh, baby.

All right.

- Jeremy asked us...
- What?

You're not talking enough.

Start over!

I hated interviews.
I didn't love this side of Matt.

I started to wonder what his motives were
with all of this.

I started thinking, "What if we get back,

and we end up going
our separate ways and it was over?"

There might have been
a bit of pressure to stay together.

So many people were rooting for them

and wanted this to be
a big, romantic love story.

Khani would sometimes be like,
"What if it's not?"

"I don't want to disappoint anybody."

I said, "You can't think like that.
You have to do it for you."

If you're gonna be with somebody,
make it because you want to be with them.

- Khani is dealing with the press...
- Hey!

...by putting on a disguise.

She's got her baseball cap on
that I bought her.

No one will ever see the real me.

No autographs, no photos, please.

Matt would say, "All this stuff
is happening. I can handle it,

because I'm just built for this."

But then, you know, Khani,

I don't think she really signed up for it.

- Literally all for Khani.
- Not all for me.

I had this little plate
and half of this sandwich,

and then she has all this.

Hey, still more coming.

She's a beast.

Everyone's texting me
about the story.

And then, my sister,
in our group chat, was like...

Now my mom with the smiley face!
What the fuck's going on with my family?

- Let me see.
- They're not making it any better.

And then, the issue is
one of those five people is her father,

who doesn't know that I am here.

Khani's dad,
I just want you to know I'm a nice guy.

I'm taking good care
of defending Khani from the spiders,

and not so much the bugs.

She got a lot of bug bites.
But I'm doing my best out here.

- And...
- He's a good guy, Dad.

...don't be too mad

at Khani.

- She wanted to protect you from the truth.
- My mom hates beards.

- Your mom hates beards?
- Yeah.

Shit. Now I got...

Hi, Khani's mom.

I'm a nice guy.

My beard is way better
than it used to be, so...

Look at my new tattoo. It's Spike.

- Oh, they hate tattoos.
- Oh, then don't look at that.

Oh! Things are getting worse.

Buenos dias!

What's that for?

- Our flight got canceled.
- I saw.

You already knew? Figured.

We've had so many close calls
where we're going home and we don't.

What are we gonna do?

It's not fun anymore.
Like, let's just go home.

You planned this.

No, the only other...

You called them and asked
for them to cancel it, didn't you?

Having too much fun.

The only other embassy flight
that's operating flies out tomorrow.

There are three seats left.

At this point,
they announced through the embassy

that they'd have
government-sponsored flights.

We just got to get this flight back.
So, we bit the bullet,

and spent thousands
of dollars to get home.

This one felt real.

It's been confirmed.
It's still on my phone.

Let's get back to the States.

We have one final residence, hopefully.

Wish us luck.

My mom said, "He's gonna find out.
It'll be better coming from you

before he finds out himself."

"Say you've been dating him for a while.
Don't tell him that you just met him..."

- You're gonna lie to him again?
- Huh?

You're gonna lie to him again.

Yeah, but it's just a lesser lie

to make him, you know,
come around a little bit more.

But he's gonna read
all the articles.

You'll tell him they're all lying?

Yeah.

You've never lied to your parents before?

Yeah, but not about everything.

Sounds like you lie to them
about your entire life.

Basically, yeah.

- You gonna lie to me?
- I told you.

- What?
- I would never lie to you.

Why do you laugh when you say that?

I dunno.

It's 'cause my dad restricts me, so I lie
to be able to live my life freely.

- So, if I don't restrict you...
- Yeah.

If you try and stop me
from doing anything I want to do,

that's when I start lying to you.

All right.

You're gonna vomit? Why?

I hate talking to my dad.

I know she was definitely a little anxious
going into that phone call,

and it was something
that she'd been putting off for a while.

Look at how pretty you look.

I know, I wish I looked
this good on BuzzFeed.

Ew.

Get out of here!

Hello.

Hi, Dad.

Hey! What's up?

What's going on over there?

Not much.

Don't tell me
your flight got canceled.

Not exactly. But...

Uh-oh. So, what's going on?

You know how I'm here
with a group of friends?

Mm-hmm.

So, one of those friends
is someone I've kind of been seeing.

Wait. A guy?

Yeah.

I thought you said that you are...
All of you are girls?

No, I just said it was a group of friends.

Okay, that's not cool.

Um, someone had caught wind of our story
and really liked it,

and now it's been making
its way around the news.

And we're just getting
a lot of attention around it now.

Be extremely careful in what you say.

He was getting into his Dad mode
and lecturing me.

"Whatever you say
will stay forever on the Internet."

"You want to be careful."

So I'm like, "Okay,
let's just get over with this lecture."

"Sweep the guy under the rug.
Maybe he won't remember it again."

Then the other thing,
you never told us you're with a guy.

You're with a guy for two months, man.

- That's not...
- Yeah.

Yeah, that's not cool, Khani.

We don't even know who the guy is,
or what kind of a person he is.

I'm sure that, you know, you... you...
you have judgment of your own,

but, you know...

That's a long time, you know.

Yeah, well, we didn't expect it
to be this long.

And I'm not, like, alone with him.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Did you tell Mommy yet?

Um, I'm gonna call her after this.

I'm sure Mom is gonna want
to see his picture and stuff.

- Yeah, I'll text her a heads-up.
- Okay.

Okay.

All right, love you.

Okay, I love you, too.

Bye.

Okay, bye.

I thought my dad would react more...

Maybe more harsh,
critiquing my decision-making.

But he treated me like an adult,

and it made me question why I was lying.

It was just new for me, you know?
Opening up to my dad.

All right.

Tell me what happened.

- How did it go?
- I got a lecture.

Yeah. About?

More so about, "Be careful what
you're saying in the media."

"You never know how much
it'll come back to hurt you."

Um...

What did he say about... me?

He's like, "You're there with a guy?
That's not cool."

I didn't feel more relieved,

just because I know it's on his mind now.
Like, "What if he looks it up?"

And, yeah, it just stressed me out
almost a little bit more.

It's our last day.

That's right, last day in Costa Rica.

How are you feeling?

I'm ready to go home.

Yeah?

You mean, "Ready to go to Texas!"

The last few days in Costa Rica,
Khani was distant.

It was weird. I didn't know
if it was because we were leaving,

or I did something.
I didn't know what to make of it.

What are you about to do,
Khani Kharnitas?

Check in!

- For what?
- Our flight home.

Day 78. We are checking in.
Usually, we don't get to this point.

My dad sent me an article,
"The Internet never forgets," in all caps.

Don't you forget either.

I would never forget you.

So, the question would be...

I was wondering...

How do I make this sound casual?

What are you wondering?

I don't know. Do you feel
like on this trip that you've changed any?

Or are you the same?

I think I'm the same.

- No, but...
- Me, myself, personally?

- Yeah.
- As a person?

You haven't changed at all
on this trip?

You haven't done anything new?

I told you I don't like being vulnerable.

Okay, so, that's one thing.

I feel like you've let yourself
be more vulnerable on this trip.

- You forced me...
- I didn't force you.

- ...into an uncomfortable position.
- You chose to be vulnerable.

I feel like in the beginning,
we both had our guards up, like...

Mm-hmm.

...very high.

I'm sweating.

When did you feel like you started
to let your guard down a little bit?

See who you really are.

Your guard's still up?

I asked you a question.

When did you start to let your guard down?

I feel like it went back up, recently.

What do you mean by that?
When did you put your guard back up?

I just wanna be careful.

You're so negative.

- Just enjoy the moment.
- I'm not getting my hopes up here.

Don't get your hopes up.
Just enjoy the moment.

I'm trying to.

You said you don't think about the future.

I don't! But everyone's asking us,

"What's next for you guys?
What are you gonna do now?"

"What'll happen when you get back?"
I don't know!

Nobody knows.

After I self-declared
that we're boyfriend and girlfriend,

I know that that created
a lot of what's going on in her head.

It was almost a reset
of, "Now the guards are back up"

because I did something stupid.

When we were
finally able to leave,

it was really bittersweet.

It was more than a vacation.

It was something I would never forget.

I wasn't ready to go home and pretend
all of that didn't just happen.

Bye, Costa Rica.

Gonna miss this view.
Guys, we're leaving. Can't believe it.

I can't believe I'm semi-on time.

If the flight goes, we're really going
back to Estados Unidos after three months.

It's gonna go, okay?

I was like, "Are we in too deep
with all these interviews?"

And, "Am I stuck with this guy?
What are we doing when we get back?"

We never really talked
about what happens after.

What if we did just go our separate ways?

Khani's frustrated with me

'cause people are recognizing us
at the airport.

I don't want to be recognized.

Coming up to us, wishing us well.

You're a little Costa Rican celebrity.

- Can I have your autograph, please?
- Shut up.

- You want some help?
- No!

I don't need you!

You just want me.

We're on the flight.

A pleasure to have you with us.

Non-stop service to Houston,
three hours and 27 minutes en route.

Welcome aboard.

We made it!

If we can clear customs.
I don't know with you.

- Hey!
- You're trouble.

You are.

They have potato salad!

- It smells so good in here.
- Yeah.

Put this down.

What'd you just ask me?

I said, "When is our anniversary?"

First date or boyfriend-girlfriend?

Boyfriend-girlfriend.

- I...
- Gimme this.

When is our anniversary?

You didn't even ask me.

- What?
- Hmm.

- If you'll be my girlfriend?
- Yeah.

Fine. Will you be my girlfriend?

No!

You did that intentional.

- Will you be my girlfriend?
- Stop!

Will you be my girlfriend?

Fine!

That's not an acceptable answer.

Yes.

Matthew Thomas Robertson.

You are my boyfriend.

She said yes.
So, now we're a couple.

It wasn't a moment where I'm like,
"I know I love this guy." Hello!

It was a culmination
of everything we've been through,

everything that he's done,
just overall how he makes me feel.

It was just a realization
that it was there all along.

The biggest thing that happened to me,

what before was something
that was so important,

to post and get
that dopamine boost of likes,

now I feel like has been supplemented
by this connection I have with Khani.

I don't need to try to connect
with everybody online

because this connection right here,
right now is the only one that matters.

There's the bridge.
Across that bridge, we'll be in Maine.

Lobster dinner in Maine.

Khani met the fam.

And she's got a new boyfriend.
Gabe, say hi!

Hi!

Hey, Bob.

- Hey, Bob.
- How you doing?

- Good to see you.
- Good to see you.

What is it exactly again?

Basically, duck... duck egg.

Okay. Okay. Now you peel it off.

And then you...

- How does it taste?
- Better than it looks.

I don't know.

All right,
race you to the top, Mr. Le.

He just makes me feel
really comfortable being with him.

He doesn't try to control anything
and really lets me be who I am.

I don't ever feel
like I have to lie to him.

Especially for someone
who had given up on love

and not wanting
anything to do with it again,

to still be able
to feel this way, I'm like, "Oh!"

"There are good people out there."

Here's our angel baby, Banks.

Khani's favorite.

I used to be higher in the rankings,
and then Banks came along.

She's number one.
Our next tattoo is gonna be of Banks.

This is the day she's been waiting for.
Uh-oh, here we go.

It's gone!

Bye-bye.

I will not
fall in love with you.

Yeah, right! Yeah, right!
