Longest Third Date (2023) Movie Script
1
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 appHinge.
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 andadventure.
That was my priority.
I couldn't get a read on him.
Every image was so different.
There was one answeron Matt's profile
where he's like, "I'mlooking
for a partner to compliment mylifestyle."
This guy's looking for a life partner,
definitely not for me.
I wanted to put myself out there,
just tohave 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 fora 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 wantsto 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 Ithought we were even there for.
I think we left at 1:00 a.m.
We gotta go.
Really? Just a... Just a cheekkiss?
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 hisoldest 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 Asiangirl 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 hedoesn'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 100real quick.
It got to the point
where I guess we'renot joking.
Huh?
Are you serious?
Third date,Costa Rica?
Um...
Okay. Let's just do it, you know?
I said yes,
just throwing cautionto thewind.
Kinda like, all right, go with the flow,
see what happens.
I was definitely textingmy 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 couldlive
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 wouldbecome the coronavirus,
and I'm dismissiveof this pandemic
really being anythingto 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 allthe 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 thereand 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 bestfriend'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, theentire 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 ofthe crew
has this coronavirus,
so that'sthe good news.
The other good news
is we havetoilet 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 gonnarun 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 haveto 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 onyour side."
If things go weird, I'm out ofhere.
"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?
S.
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 awkwardmoments.
- 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 somuch.
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 outuntil Costa Rica.
"This guy's tryingto 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 advantageof this opportunity,
throw it up on YouTube,
get those followers.
My name is Matt Robertson,
and I'm donefollowing the status quo.
This is the beginning
of my new lifefilled with adventure,
travel, and newexperiences.
I'm gonna make mistakes.
I'm gonna makememories.
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 morecomfortable 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 veryrelaxed and casual.
We're starting
to get more affectionate.
Uno mas?
The vibe was great.
I was reallyhappy 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 hadmore ambition than them,
more friends than them,
it would always make theguy insecure,
and they would lash outabout 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 getback into a relationship.
I was just excited
to spend time on myown,
completely without anyone to takecare of.
For me, I always saw dating
and, like, aserious 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 Iwould meet
out at a bar, a club, an industry event.
Insta-girls.
You know?
After being stuck
in a bad relationshipfor so long,
I wanted to go out and have fun.
Neither one of us
were looking to changeour ways.
It was the perfect little vacation
to start out.
I think it was day four
where thingsreally started to get real.
Good morning, y'all.
Today, we're going to try again
to gozip-lining.
Yesterday, we failed and were too late.
Overslept a little bit.
Two-hour time difference,
still haven'tadjusted.
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 theythinking?
We have to gethome.
Things are going well, right?
At this point, I'm not really worried
about us having that vibe
and thatconnection.
More time for drinking
and thebeach. 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 theorder 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 getreal
that I'm not going home.
It's definitely scary
being in a foreign country
not knowing how crazyit'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 wasassigned to help treat
the COVID patientsat 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 herewith a guy.
She lies to protect herself.
Like, "They don't need to know."
I will admit, growing up,
I hada compulsive lying disorder
because I hadso 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 inwith me in college,
it was because her dad kickedher out.
And so, then it was like,
"Okay, let's tread lightly."
With my dad, some things
are just betterleft 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 ofNew York."
"It's not safe there.
It's the epicenterof everything."
"Whew, you made a smart decision."
Which is really surprising.
I'm like, "My dad thinks
I made a smartdecision?"
Sometimes, things are better
to tell him after the fact.
Mike asked if your work
knew that youwere 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 upbringingas her, for sure.
But growing up, I was superlucky
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 rumyou 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 lockdownand...
just hoping everything's allright
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, youknow.
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 ourguard 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 heretogether."
"We got to figurethings out."
Now I'm with this girl
that I don't know that well
for an extendedamount 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 populartourist attraction,
but it's seen better days.
So I make an arrangement.
We'll do a date night onthe pirate ship.
I'm like, "The beach isclosed.
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 oneday.
This is the moment I've been waitingfor.
We're... Oh!
Captain Jack Sparrow has seenbetter 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 onecoming upwith 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 theturning point for us.
I don't wanna hesitate
I don't wanna hesitate
We would've stayed
at thehotel as long as we could,
but they said,
"We're shutting down. You have toleave."
We had a flight home, finally.
But it didn't leave for three weeks.
The plan was to hunker down
in an Airbnbuntil then.
I wasn't excited
about this forced livingsituation,
but it felt like Matt and I needed to be
on the same pageto get through this.
- We made it.
- Made it.
Casa Divina.
That Airbnb in Montezuma,
a nice ladywho 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 hangout 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 whatto think."
"He's recordingeverything."
"There's probably some
going to the bathroom."
Khani's kitchen.
In this type of situation,
where you'rejust together 24-7,
there's almost nomotive
to try to be anything butyourself.
Todo bien.
Ready to survive the apocalypse.
Maybe it should've been expected
with the handle "Movie Matt."
Like, his life's amovie.
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 bestoutfits.
I'm like, "Oh, no.
He's seen me drenchedin sweat."
"He's seen me, you know, nomakeup 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, memorableexperience."
"This is just a situation
we justhappen to be in,
but I hope it's not a relationship."
Meanwhile...
Doing her yoga.
Hello?
I very much prioritize work
over anythingelse.
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 onthis 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 tryto 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 differentcuisine.
Squid, tuna, toros.
It was a great opportunity
to get to knowKhani
and discover how amazing she is.
Genuine, caring, thoughtful.
I mean, thetotal 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 overthat.
Chemistry was definitely intensifying.
There's some passion thereand
a lot ofgreat 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 therefor as long as we were,
my birthcontrol runs out.
Let me just find a pharmacy
and see whatthey 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 prettymuch the same."
Let me just google this brand
and seewhat 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 havebeen 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 alittle patch here.
Hey! Stop!
I'm trying to protect the bed!
Montezuma is when a lot
of the bugs cameout.
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 throughthis?"
Saturday morning.
I've never madepancakes.
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 notdemanding 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 feltlike 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 alwaysputting a guy above myself.
I lose myself as a person when I'm in it.
I don't care about my needs,
and I letthem trample
over every ounce of beingthat I am.
It was just not somethingI wanted at all.
You know, you're out here
for three weekswith 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'sfor sure.
It's not even like a normalrelationship.
'Cause in a normal relationship,
you can leave and do your own thing and...
In this case, lockedup,
quarantined abroad,
spending 24hours 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 thehouse! Time to explore.
Finally!
Finally, Khani is ready.
Fin... Hey!
Only taken you all day to get ready.
- Throw your little thingyout thewindow.
- 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 pastcurfew.
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 flipover.
I'm also worried when she getsout,
maybe this isgoing to shiftthe weight,
and I'mjust gonna go in.
Holy shit.
How bad is it?
Like, the wheel's
not even touchingthe... 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 truckand they hooked itup.
It was a whole team effort
to getthis 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 Cbano
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 inmy trips anymore.
Yeah, from what I'm showing,
it looks likeany routes available
isn't until June2nd.
Is when we're opening upthat route again.
Okay.
So, that's Tuesday, June 2nd.
Confirmation emails
with the updated itinerary
are being sent out,so youshould
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'sjust not an option.
I don't knowwhen we'll get out ofhere,
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 notperforming.
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 comedown.
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, andthen down here somewhere.
Being with Matt,he was someone
who liked to take care of a lot ofthings.
He would always be
the firstto take charge of plans
if we need to fix something
or gosomewhere.
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 wouldtreat her that way.
So, in my mind, I was like,
"You betternot fuck it up."
"You better make up
for all those assholes that missed out."
All right, that's a wrap for CasaDivina.
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-pastethis chain message
that I send to all the Airbnbs,
update the number of days
that we've beenstuck,
hope they feel bad for us
and give us agood rate.
I remember you telling me
about your other amazing Hinge dates.
- You were my first!
- Yeah, yeah. Did not kiss you.
You didn'tlike it.
I felt like I needed
to have you thinking a little like, "Huh."
"What did I dowrong?"
There was nothing wrongwith 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 meshit and piss here, or what?
Headed to the jungle.
The jungle?
We're going camping.
Being out in the darknessof the jungle,
Matt wants to light a fireand 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 tosurvive 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 avacation,"
to, "I'm starting to fall for thisgirl."
And trying to fight that feeling, Ithink.
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 everywheretogether,
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 myconcerns 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 seethe amazing volcano.
But no, just clouds.
It's completely covered. No volcano.
Little disappointed.
Hopefully, it getsclear.
There is horses though.
La Fortuna,
that's the week that I wassupposed
to get my period on birthcontrol.
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'shere,it's not here.
A couple of days go by, and...
I hope Ididn't get one
of the janky birth controlpackets.
I'm like, "It's just a fewdays late,
give it some time."
Wait, show me.
It was
a really stressful situation.
I was just trying to rationalize
why itdidn't come when it usually did.
I didn't want to stress about ittoo much
until I knew for sure,
but weboth didn't want children.
Matt, he always went out of hisway
to try to make me feelcomfortable.
He would always bring me a drink.
The littlest things
I wouldn't thinkhe'd pick up on.
He was just trying to be supportive
and anticipate my needs,
and that was a newexperience for me.
She was super supportive
and alwaystrying 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 waslike, "We have to get back home."
"We can't have a kidin anothercountry."
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 tomake margaritas.
And it was nice for me
to actuallyhave
these fun little adult moments.
Because I was going
through my divorce at that time.
He wasgoing through
all of this stuff himself.
I think if you're really close to people
and they're going throughsomething,
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 beas 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 theyreally care about your friend.
I just don't know the details
of when weget 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 thisalone was difficult.
You feel kind of helpless
where it'slike 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 itwas just aninternal 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 wasdefinitely 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 wallsdown
and wore down my ability to fightit.
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 fuckingGoPro.
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 Jos,
my periodfinally came.
I'm like, "Crisis averted."
We can go back
to ourregularly-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 Ricafor 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 eventhe craziest part.
Everyone, meet Khani.
The mostbeautiful 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 hefalls 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 beinglike,
"We're going to takea next step here.
I'm just puttingit out there."
Isn't that what we both need?
It's girls' day,
and seeing as Khanihas 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 declaringit.
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 weardeodorant today.
It wasn't like it was his name.
It was just to commemorate
the time wespent here together.
It means "pure life."
Really enjoying it,
living it to the fullest.
That's what we were doingin 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-patootieface?
- 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 hadno 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 firstinterviews.
That just started this wholewhirlwind
of everyone finding out.
From there, it was
one interview after another.
Matt Robertson and Khani Le
stranded inCosta Rica.
I went from being very private
about even casual relationships,
to now the whole world is going to know
that Ihave 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 myprivate lifeout there
for all the world to see.
My cousins started seeing it.
My auntsstarted 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 whereI'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 towhere I wasjust 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 tostay 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 wantto 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 herbaseball 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 canhandle it,
because I'm just built for this."
But then, you know, Khani,
I don't thinkshe 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 fivepeople is her father,
who doesn't knowthat I am here.
Khani's dad,
I just want you to know I'm anice guy.
I'm taking good care
of defending Khanifrom the spiders,
and not so muchthe 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 beardis 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'regoing 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 themto 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 findsout himself."
"Say you've beendating him for a while.
Don't tell himthat 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 lesserlie
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 yourentire 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 ableto 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 Istart lying to you.
All right.
You're gonna vomit? Why?
I hate talking to my dad.
I know she was definitely a littleanxious
going into that phone call,
and it was something
that she'd beenputting off for a while.
Look at how pretty you look.
I know, I wish I looked
this good onBuzzFeed.
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'vekind 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 nowit's been making
its way around the news.
And we're just getting
a lot of attentionaround it now.
Be extremely careful in what you say.
He was getting into his Dad mode
and lecturing me.
"Whatever you say
will stayforever on the Internet."
"You want to be careful."
So I'm like, "Okay,
let's just getover with this lecture."
"Sweep the guy under therug.
Maybe he won't remember it again."
Then the other thing,
you never toldus 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 seehis 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 mydecision-making.
But he treated me like an adult,
and itmade me questionwhy 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 knowit's on his mind now.
Like, "What if helooks 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 waswondering...
How do I make this sound casual?
What are you wondering?
I don't know. Do you feel
like on thistrip 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 letyour 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 youput 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 enjoythe moment.
I'm trying to.
You said you don'tthinkabout the future.
I don't! But everyone'sasking us,
"What's next for youguys?
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 knowthat that created
a lot of what's goingon in her head.
It was almost a reset
of, "Now theguards are back up"
because I didsomething 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 readyto 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 threemonths.
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 happensafter.
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.
Stop trying to get forward
Stop trying to get forward...
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 knowwith 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 thathe's done,
just overall how he makes me feel.
It was just a realization
that it wasthere all along.
Stop trying to get forward
When I stop trying to care for it...
Moving day, y'all.
First couple boxes.
The biggest thing that happened to me,
what before was something
that was so important,
to post andget
that dopamine boost of likes,
now I feel like has been supplemented
by thisconnection I have with Khani.
I don't need to try to connect
with everybodyonline
because this connectionright here,
right now is the only onethat 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.
I don't mind when I try to get back
To the things that you said...
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.
I don't mind
When I try to get back to...
He just makes me feel
really comfortablebeing 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 upon love
and not wanting
anything to do with it again,
to still be able
to feel this way, I'm like, "Oh!"
"There aregood 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!
I can feel no doubt, baby
When I call you
Don't need to wonder
You know I adore you
Don't know what you heard
About my reputation
Even when we're good
It's pure intention
Yeah, you're right
Yeah, I'm the wild one, I'm the wild one
Spark a fight
But I'm always on your side
Take your time
Don't take a lifetime, take a lifetime
'Cause someone will get it
So let's go and get it
Oh-oh-oh
Don't you want to get together?
I don't want to see you never
Oh-oh-oh
We ain't gonna live forever
So we should just get together
Oh-oh-oh
Don't you want to get together?
I don't want to see you never
Oh-oh-oh
We ain't gonna live forever
So we should just get together
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 appHinge.
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 andadventure.
That was my priority.
I couldn't get a read on him.
Every image was so different.
There was one answeron Matt's profile
where he's like, "I'mlooking
for a partner to compliment mylifestyle."
This guy's looking for a life partner,
definitely not for me.
I wanted to put myself out there,
just tohave 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 fora 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 wantsto 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 Ithought we were even there for.
I think we left at 1:00 a.m.
We gotta go.
Really? Just a... Just a cheekkiss?
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 hisoldest 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 Asiangirl 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 hedoesn'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 100real quick.
It got to the point
where I guess we'renot joking.
Huh?
Are you serious?
Third date,Costa Rica?
Um...
Okay. Let's just do it, you know?
I said yes,
just throwing cautionto thewind.
Kinda like, all right, go with the flow,
see what happens.
I was definitely textingmy 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 couldlive
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 wouldbecome the coronavirus,
and I'm dismissiveof this pandemic
really being anythingto 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 allthe 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 thereand 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 bestfriend'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, theentire 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 ofthe crew
has this coronavirus,
so that'sthe good news.
The other good news
is we havetoilet 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 gonnarun 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 haveto 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 onyour side."
If things go weird, I'm out ofhere.
"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?
S.
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 awkwardmoments.
- 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 somuch.
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 outuntil Costa Rica.
"This guy's tryingto 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 advantageof this opportunity,
throw it up on YouTube,
get those followers.
My name is Matt Robertson,
and I'm donefollowing the status quo.
This is the beginning
of my new lifefilled with adventure,
travel, and newexperiences.
I'm gonna make mistakes.
I'm gonna makememories.
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 morecomfortable 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 veryrelaxed and casual.
We're starting
to get more affectionate.
Uno mas?
The vibe was great.
I was reallyhappy 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 hadmore ambition than them,
more friends than them,
it would always make theguy insecure,
and they would lash outabout 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 getback into a relationship.
I was just excited
to spend time on myown,
completely without anyone to takecare of.
For me, I always saw dating
and, like, aserious 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 Iwould meet
out at a bar, a club, an industry event.
Insta-girls.
You know?
After being stuck
in a bad relationshipfor so long,
I wanted to go out and have fun.
Neither one of us
were looking to changeour ways.
It was the perfect little vacation
to start out.
I think it was day four
where thingsreally started to get real.
Good morning, y'all.
Today, we're going to try again
to gozip-lining.
Yesterday, we failed and were too late.
Overslept a little bit.
Two-hour time difference,
still haven'tadjusted.
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 theythinking?
We have to gethome.
Things are going well, right?
At this point, I'm not really worried
about us having that vibe
and thatconnection.
More time for drinking
and thebeach. 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 theorder 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 getreal
that I'm not going home.
It's definitely scary
being in a foreign country
not knowing how crazyit'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 wasassigned to help treat
the COVID patientsat 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 herewith a guy.
She lies to protect herself.
Like, "They don't need to know."
I will admit, growing up,
I hada compulsive lying disorder
because I hadso 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 inwith me in college,
it was because her dad kickedher out.
And so, then it was like,
"Okay, let's tread lightly."
With my dad, some things
are just betterleft 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 ofNew York."
"It's not safe there.
It's the epicenterof everything."
"Whew, you made a smart decision."
Which is really surprising.
I'm like, "My dad thinks
I made a smartdecision?"
Sometimes, things are better
to tell him after the fact.
Mike asked if your work
knew that youwere 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 upbringingas her, for sure.
But growing up, I was superlucky
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 rumyou 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 lockdownand...
just hoping everything's allright
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, youknow.
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 ourguard 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 heretogether."
"We got to figurethings out."
Now I'm with this girl
that I don't know that well
for an extendedamount 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 populartourist attraction,
but it's seen better days.
So I make an arrangement.
We'll do a date night onthe pirate ship.
I'm like, "The beach isclosed.
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 oneday.
This is the moment I've been waitingfor.
We're... Oh!
Captain Jack Sparrow has seenbetter 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 onecoming upwith 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 theturning point for us.
I don't wanna hesitate
I don't wanna hesitate
We would've stayed
at thehotel as long as we could,
but they said,
"We're shutting down. You have toleave."
We had a flight home, finally.
But it didn't leave for three weeks.
The plan was to hunker down
in an Airbnbuntil then.
I wasn't excited
about this forced livingsituation,
but it felt like Matt and I needed to be
on the same pageto get through this.
- We made it.
- Made it.
Casa Divina.
That Airbnb in Montezuma,
a nice ladywho 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 hangout 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 whatto think."
"He's recordingeverything."
"There's probably some
going to the bathroom."
Khani's kitchen.
In this type of situation,
where you'rejust together 24-7,
there's almost nomotive
to try to be anything butyourself.
Todo bien.
Ready to survive the apocalypse.
Maybe it should've been expected
with the handle "Movie Matt."
Like, his life's amovie.
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 bestoutfits.
I'm like, "Oh, no.
He's seen me drenchedin sweat."
"He's seen me, you know, nomakeup 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, memorableexperience."
"This is just a situation
we justhappen to be in,
but I hope it's not a relationship."
Meanwhile...
Doing her yoga.
Hello?
I very much prioritize work
over anythingelse.
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 onthis 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 tryto 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 differentcuisine.
Squid, tuna, toros.
It was a great opportunity
to get to knowKhani
and discover how amazing she is.
Genuine, caring, thoughtful.
I mean, thetotal 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 overthat.
Chemistry was definitely intensifying.
There's some passion thereand
a lot ofgreat 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 therefor as long as we were,
my birthcontrol runs out.
Let me just find a pharmacy
and see whatthey 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 prettymuch the same."
Let me just google this brand
and seewhat 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 havebeen 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 alittle patch here.
Hey! Stop!
I'm trying to protect the bed!
Montezuma is when a lot
of the bugs cameout.
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 throughthis?"
Saturday morning.
I've never madepancakes.
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 notdemanding 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 feltlike 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 alwaysputting a guy above myself.
I lose myself as a person when I'm in it.
I don't care about my needs,
and I letthem trample
over every ounce of beingthat I am.
It was just not somethingI wanted at all.
You know, you're out here
for three weekswith 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'sfor sure.
It's not even like a normalrelationship.
'Cause in a normal relationship,
you can leave and do your own thing and...
In this case, lockedup,
quarantined abroad,
spending 24hours 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 thehouse! Time to explore.
Finally!
Finally, Khani is ready.
Fin... Hey!
Only taken you all day to get ready.
- Throw your little thingyout thewindow.
- 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 pastcurfew.
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 flipover.
I'm also worried when she getsout,
maybe this isgoing to shiftthe weight,
and I'mjust gonna go in.
Holy shit.
How bad is it?
Like, the wheel's
not even touchingthe... 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 truckand they hooked itup.
It was a whole team effort
to getthis 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 Cbano
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 inmy trips anymore.
Yeah, from what I'm showing,
it looks likeany routes available
isn't until June2nd.
Is when we're opening upthat route again.
Okay.
So, that's Tuesday, June 2nd.
Confirmation emails
with the updated itinerary
are being sent out,so youshould
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'sjust not an option.
I don't knowwhen we'll get out ofhere,
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 notperforming.
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 comedown.
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, andthen down here somewhere.
Being with Matt,he was someone
who liked to take care of a lot ofthings.
He would always be
the firstto take charge of plans
if we need to fix something
or gosomewhere.
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 wouldtreat her that way.
So, in my mind, I was like,
"You betternot fuck it up."
"You better make up
for all those assholes that missed out."
All right, that's a wrap for CasaDivina.
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-pastethis chain message
that I send to all the Airbnbs,
update the number of days
that we've beenstuck,
hope they feel bad for us
and give us agood rate.
I remember you telling me
about your other amazing Hinge dates.
- You were my first!
- Yeah, yeah. Did not kiss you.
You didn'tlike it.
I felt like I needed
to have you thinking a little like, "Huh."
"What did I dowrong?"
There was nothing wrongwith 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 meshit and piss here, or what?
Headed to the jungle.
The jungle?
We're going camping.
Being out in the darknessof the jungle,
Matt wants to light a fireand 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 tosurvive 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 avacation,"
to, "I'm starting to fall for thisgirl."
And trying to fight that feeling, Ithink.
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 everywheretogether,
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 myconcerns 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 seethe amazing volcano.
But no, just clouds.
It's completely covered. No volcano.
Little disappointed.
Hopefully, it getsclear.
There is horses though.
La Fortuna,
that's the week that I wassupposed
to get my period on birthcontrol.
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'shere,it's not here.
A couple of days go by, and...
I hope Ididn't get one
of the janky birth controlpackets.
I'm like, "It's just a fewdays late,
give it some time."
Wait, show me.
It was
a really stressful situation.
I was just trying to rationalize
why itdidn't come when it usually did.
I didn't want to stress about ittoo much
until I knew for sure,
but weboth didn't want children.
Matt, he always went out of hisway
to try to make me feelcomfortable.
He would always bring me a drink.
The littlest things
I wouldn't thinkhe'd pick up on.
He was just trying to be supportive
and anticipate my needs,
and that was a newexperience for me.
She was super supportive
and alwaystrying 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 waslike, "We have to get back home."
"We can't have a kidin anothercountry."
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 tomake margaritas.
And it was nice for me
to actuallyhave
these fun little adult moments.
Because I was going
through my divorce at that time.
He wasgoing through
all of this stuff himself.
I think if you're really close to people
and they're going throughsomething,
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 beas 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 theyreally care about your friend.
I just don't know the details
of when weget 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 thisalone was difficult.
You feel kind of helpless
where it'slike 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 itwas just aninternal 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 wasdefinitely 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 wallsdown
and wore down my ability to fightit.
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 fuckingGoPro.
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 Jos,
my periodfinally came.
I'm like, "Crisis averted."
We can go back
to ourregularly-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 Ricafor 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 eventhe craziest part.
Everyone, meet Khani.
The mostbeautiful 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 hefalls 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 beinglike,
"We're going to takea next step here.
I'm just puttingit out there."
Isn't that what we both need?
It's girls' day,
and seeing as Khanihas 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 declaringit.
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 weardeodorant today.
It wasn't like it was his name.
It was just to commemorate
the time wespent here together.
It means "pure life."
Really enjoying it,
living it to the fullest.
That's what we were doingin 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-patootieface?
- 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 hadno 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 firstinterviews.
That just started this wholewhirlwind
of everyone finding out.
From there, it was
one interview after another.
Matt Robertson and Khani Le
stranded inCosta Rica.
I went from being very private
about even casual relationships,
to now the whole world is going to know
that Ihave 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 myprivate lifeout there
for all the world to see.
My cousins started seeing it.
My auntsstarted 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 whereI'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 towhere I wasjust 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 tostay 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 wantto 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 herbaseball 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 canhandle it,
because I'm just built for this."
But then, you know, Khani,
I don't thinkshe 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 fivepeople is her father,
who doesn't knowthat I am here.
Khani's dad,
I just want you to know I'm anice guy.
I'm taking good care
of defending Khanifrom the spiders,
and not so muchthe 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 beardis 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'regoing 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 themto 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 findsout himself."
"Say you've beendating him for a while.
Don't tell himthat 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 lesserlie
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 yourentire 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 ableto 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 Istart lying to you.
All right.
You're gonna vomit? Why?
I hate talking to my dad.
I know she was definitely a littleanxious
going into that phone call,
and it was something
that she'd beenputting off for a while.
Look at how pretty you look.
I know, I wish I looked
this good onBuzzFeed.
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'vekind 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 nowit's been making
its way around the news.
And we're just getting
a lot of attentionaround it now.
Be extremely careful in what you say.
He was getting into his Dad mode
and lecturing me.
"Whatever you say
will stayforever on the Internet."
"You want to be careful."
So I'm like, "Okay,
let's just getover with this lecture."
"Sweep the guy under therug.
Maybe he won't remember it again."
Then the other thing,
you never toldus 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 seehis 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 mydecision-making.
But he treated me like an adult,
and itmade me questionwhy 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 knowit's on his mind now.
Like, "What if helooks 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 waswondering...
How do I make this sound casual?
What are you wondering?
I don't know. Do you feel
like on thistrip 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 letyour 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 youput 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 enjoythe moment.
I'm trying to.
You said you don'tthinkabout the future.
I don't! But everyone'sasking us,
"What's next for youguys?
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 knowthat that created
a lot of what's goingon in her head.
It was almost a reset
of, "Now theguards are back up"
because I didsomething 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 readyto 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 threemonths.
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 happensafter.
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.
Stop trying to get forward
Stop trying to get forward...
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 knowwith 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 thathe's done,
just overall how he makes me feel.
It was just a realization
that it wasthere all along.
Stop trying to get forward
When I stop trying to care for it...
Moving day, y'all.
First couple boxes.
The biggest thing that happened to me,
what before was something
that was so important,
to post andget
that dopamine boost of likes,
now I feel like has been supplemented
by thisconnection I have with Khani.
I don't need to try to connect
with everybodyonline
because this connectionright here,
right now is the only onethat 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.
I don't mind when I try to get back
To the things that you said...
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.
I don't mind
When I try to get back to...
He just makes me feel
really comfortablebeing 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 upon love
and not wanting
anything to do with it again,
to still be able
to feel this way, I'm like, "Oh!"
"There aregood 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!
I can feel no doubt, baby
When I call you
Don't need to wonder
You know I adore you
Don't know what you heard
About my reputation
Even when we're good
It's pure intention
Yeah, you're right
Yeah, I'm the wild one, I'm the wild one
Spark a fight
But I'm always on your side
Take your time
Don't take a lifetime, take a lifetime
'Cause someone will get it
So let's go and get it
Oh-oh-oh
Don't you want to get together?
I don't want to see you never
Oh-oh-oh
We ain't gonna live forever
So we should just get together
Oh-oh-oh
Don't you want to get together?
I don't want to see you never
Oh-oh-oh
We ain't gonna live forever
So we should just get together
