-[Obed] Hello. -Hey.
My friend Obed is in town
and he is always willing to tell me dirt
on Pedro's family.
I saw him make a post
with Coraima, so all along,
I'm sure that he was cheating on me with her as well.
I mean, that's that.
I'm sorry, but that's not news.
I was so stupid.
[Nicole speaking Spanish on phone]
[Lidia speaking Spanish]
So we got this package
from Santo Domingo, and it's voodoo.
[chuckles] I knew, I knew they were witches.
I knew it.
I wanna give them a piece of my mind.
Sending a box of voodoo feels like a declaration of war,
and if that's what they want, well, they're gonna get it.
We're going.
Go pack your bag.
[River] Chantel, what are we doing?
[Chantel] The only way that I can move on
is to confront these people face-to-face.
Trying to hurt me is one thing,
but trying to hurt my entire family
by sending them a voodoo spell
is crossing the line.
If they think we're just gonna roll over
and accept this, they're never gonna stop.
So I'm gonna stand up for myself and my family.
-[Karen] Listen to me. -[Chantel] What?
I just sent that voodoo curse back to sender.
They already have it back on them.
They are all under their own curse.
I believe in the spirit world.
I do.
Yes, I... And I respect the spirit world.
They sent my family a death threat,
but, oh, whatever they meant for my family,
they're about to suffer with that same spell work
that they sent us tenfold.
It's called "Return to Sender."
A few clickety clicks of the lighter, and poof,
lit it up like dynamite.
Putrid smoke rolls up,
the wind picked up and started flying.
It blew in the direction of the DR.
They will never outrun this.
So it's all going back on them.
So I am not going to the DR.
I don't have to follow that over there.
-Chantel-- -I need to do this
for my own self-healing.
And I need to do this
-for closure. -For closure.
Well, Chantel, I just want you to understand,
you do not have to go over there.
-[Chantel] I'm gonna do it anyway. -Let it be.
-[Chantel] No, I'm going. -Let it be.
Well, no weapons formed against you
-shall prosper ever. -You don't need to be going anywhere.
-I already returned it to sender. -We're not going.
You don't need to be going anywhere.
This voodoo box has really put fear into my mom
because she does respect the spiritual world.
This is not something you play around with.
So, of course, my mom is afraid to go after getting a voodoo box.
I understand why my mom is scared,
but I can't just roll over.
Come on, River, let's go.
Pedro and his family worship Satan.
They're devil worshipers, playing with voodoo,
playing with spirits.
Anybody that deals with them
should tread lightly
because you don't wanna dance with the devil.
And I don't want no parts in it.
That's why I think Chantel needs
to just not go to the DR.
But, if she's going, I'll go with her.
It's up to me to go out there with her
and protect her.
My job is to make sure she gets out there
and comes back safely.
[tense music playing]
River, I really appreciate you coming along to help me.
I know that you don't wanna be here.
Yeah, I did not wanna come.
And you're just here following me
to make sure I get home safe.
It really means a lot.
Mmm-hmm.
I am only here to look those predators
in their eyes and to finally say, "This is done."
-[River] Mmm-hmm. -"It's over."
Yeah. It is gonna be the end of everything.
I can't wait to tell these people
that I know what they've been up to.
I know them.
Ugh, I know them.
I know how grimy they are.
I don't even care if they deny everything.
Just telling them
to their faces what they did,
and knowing in my heart that everything that I'm saying
is true is going to give me closure.
-Okay. -[River] So you're that way?
Yeah, I'm right over here.
[River] I think I'm this way.
We have to stop this.
It is now or never.
And every now and then,
the king and the queen gotta come outta their palace
and let the peasants know
we still here. You know what I'm saying?
We're a family of royals,
and the peasants are rebelling,
and we gotta put 'em in line.
That's why we came here.
[birds squawking]
[tense music playing]
-[speaking Spanish] -[speaking Spanish]
This morning... [sighs] ...I'm feeling a bit uneasy and anxious.
Last night, I didn't sleep well.
I would hate to think it's the voodoo,
but I didn't sleep well.
And I have a lot of tension
that I'm holding in my body right now.
[Chantel] Hey.
You know, you and your family,
you sent voodoo to my parents' house.
[Pedro speaking]
[Chantel] Terroristic threats.
-Terroristic threats. -[Pedro speaking]
I want you and your family
to stop bothering my family...
-[Pedro speaking] -...and to leave me...
-[Pedro speaking] -...the [bleep] alone.
[Chantel] You and your family
need to leave me the [bleep] alone.
And then also, I am here in the Dominican Republic.
I'm here.
You are nothing, pathetic user,
a pathetic predator.
Do you know that...
-[Pedro speaking indistinctly] -...I changed your life?
I changed your life.
If it wasn't for me,
you would be standing barefoot
on a dirt road in the Campo
eating chicken feet.
[Pedro speaking]
And I command you,
I command you to meet with me...
-[Pedro speaking] -[Chantel] No, you--
Listen, I command you and your family
to meet with me today
and to leave my family alone.
I commanded Pedro to come
and meet up with me and my brother
because I believe that he has a demon on him.
I had to talk to the demon inside of Pedro,
and to command that demon to show up
with that man and his family.
I know that I have that authority.
River and I will be at the Pat'e Palo restaurant,
and I want to see you and your family there at 2:00.
Yeah. I can't wait to see you today.
At the meeting today, I understand that
things could go bad.
They could get riled up, call me names, whatever.
But my heart remembers
all of the hurt and all of the pain,
and I deserve that closure for me.
-[Pedro speaking] -See you today.
-See you later. -[cell phone beeps]

[speaking English]
-[Karen] No, she's not going to. -[woman] No.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I came--
Who the [bleep] are you talking to?
What did you say? What the [bleep] are you talking about?
What's up?
[indistinct shouting and screaming]
[speaking Spanish]
We're about to get into it in the alley.
You just called me a [bleep] bitch?
-[speaking English] Yes. -You are a [bleep] whore.
[Nicole speaking Spanish]
[glass breaking]
[Karen] Oh, you missed.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Chantel] I'm feeling a little nervous now
that I'm going to finally meet up with Pedro,
Lidia, and Nicole.
I don't know. I...
I'm not feeling like this is gonna be
as easy as I thought.
-All right, let's go. -[River] Let's go.
-Okay. -How do I look?
I look all right?
You look like a million bucks.
-All right. -Maybe a trillion.
-[Chantel] A trillion? -[River] Maybe gazillion.
[Chantel] I want a clean cut.
I wanna cut ties with him
and his [bleep] family.
Just go our separate ways, that's all I wanna do.
There are things that I have to get off of my chest.
And if I'm not able to,
I'm not gonna be able to move on.
And I'm worried that's it's all
gonna come out the wrong way.
I want to make sure that I get my points across
and that I'm heard.
[River] You got your hater blockers on?
[Chantel] Yeah.
Let's get this over with.

-[speaking Spanish] -[Pedro speaking English]
[Karen speaking Spanish]
-[Pedro speaking English] -[Nicole speaking English]
[Karen speaking Spanish]
[Nicole speaking English]
[laughs]
[speaking English] I always felt this dark energy
around Pedro and his family.
It was just a dark, evil presence
whenever they would come around.
I'm never wrong. Never.
I was right about Pedro
and his family being scammers,
and I was correct about Pedro
and his family working voodoo
on Chantel this whole time.
I was right all along.
But nobody wanted to listen to me.
If everyone had just listened to me.
We wouldn't be in where we are now.
-[scoffs] -[Thomas] Oh, okay.
[Karen speaking English]
[Karen speaking Spanish]
[Karen speaking English]
[Nicole speaking English]
-[Karen speaking] -Oh.
[Nicole and Lidia] Oh.
[Nicole speaking]
[Karen speaking]
-[speaking Spanish] -[laughing]
[speaking Spanish]
[in English]
-[speaking Spanish] -[laughs]
[Nicole speaking English]
[cell phone beeps]
[Nicole speaking English]
[speaking Spanish]
[speaking English]
I do believe that speaking to Pedro's mother and sister
will have an effect on how they treat Chantel.
I don't believe that they'll jump up
and try to lay hands.
'Cause I've made contact with them.
They're thinking about me,
I'm in their minds now.
[suspenseful music playing]
-[River] Are you feeling okay? -[Chantel] Brings back old memories.
[River] Brings back a little bit of old memories?
Oh, yeah. It's bringing back all the old memories.
I used to have good feelings walking down this path,
because this is where it kind of all began.
Pedro and I walked this street a lot.
We always came here.
And it just makes sense for this to be
a place that we part ways for good.
-I think it's this one. -[River] Right here?
Yeah. I think it's this one.
[River] Okay. Okay.
I have so much anger about all of the things
that went wrong in our marriage.
The lies, Coraima,
other women, and then sadness,
because I wanted so bad to remain married,
and I was proud to be a wife.
And it didn't work out,
and it's so emotional
to be about to sit in front of the person
who I thought that I was gonna spend
the rest of my life with.
[River] There we go.
-Mmm. -[River] Sage enough?
Where are they gonna sit? Here?
Ooh, Jesus.
Oh, Lordy.
Sprinkle some holy water on these seats.
Mom gave me holy water and sage,
so that I could sage the environment wherever
Pedro and I were gonna meet,
and make sure that I get holy water
on Pedro's sister and mom.
And the best way to do it is to put it on the chairs.
My mom was very adamant that the voodoo
would not stand a chance
against the sage and this holy water.
-[speaking Spanish] -Hey, let me see.
[speaking Spanish]
[River] Yep.
[speaking English] Out, demons.
[Nicole speaking English]
[Nicole speaking Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
[Nicole speaking Spanish]
[Pedro speaking Spanish]
[Pedro speaking English]
[Pedro speaking Spanish]
I feel like all of the lies
and all the deceiving has all led up to this moment.
And now, we're finally gonna let it all out.
We all know that Nicole doesn't have any problem
picking up a bottle and throwing it.
And if things like that start happening, I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready to fight.
I don't care.
I have nothing to lose.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Pedro speaking English]
[Pedro speaking Spanish]
[Nicole speaking English]
[Nicole speaking Spanish]
[Nicole speaking English]
When I see them walking,
I see that Nicole's wearing a mask.
And I'm thinking,
"Thank God that bitch has a muzzle."
We sent the voodoo back to sender, did it hit yet?
[Nicole speaking English]
Looks like something hit you. [laughs]
I bet that it's some plastic surgery gone wrong.
This bitch has had braces since I've known her,
and it hasn't helped the thing.
And now, she's wearing a mask,
I hope that they wired her mouth shut.
I hope.
[River] So, I wanna know why send voodoo?
What is it?
I take... I do take it a little disrespect.
[Pedro speaking English]
You're gonna do it yourself.
You're gonna get yourself deported.
I don't need to do anything.
Oh, yeah. Everything that you did,
scammed me, you preyed on me.
-[Nicole speaking English] -No, no, no.
-[Nicole speaking] -[Pedro] No, no, no, no.
-[River] Hey, hey, hey. -[Pedro] No, no, no, no, no.
I came here, and I sat with your family,
talked to them, meet your friends.
And in their presence,
they're talking [bleep] in my face
'cause I don't understand the language at that time.
Calling me ugly.
Say, "Oh, she's ugly. Yeah, she'll do."
-[Pedro speaking] -"She'll do for our little plan."
-[Pedro speaking] -Oh, yeah.
-[Nicole speaking English] -[Pedro speaking indistinctly]
-No, because I found this out recently. -[Nicole speaking]
[speaking Spanish]
-[Nicole speaking Spanish] -[Pedro speaking]
[Nicole laughs]
-[Pedro speaking] -[Nicole speaking English]
-[Nicole speaking Spanish] -[Pedro speaking English]
-[Nicole speaking English] -[Pedro] No, no. No, no, no.
[Nicole speaking]
[Chantel speaking Spanish]
[Pedro speaking] Are you going to let me speak?
[Chantel] That was her first words.
[Nicole] Oh, never.
You ugly on the inside
and you feel ugly on the inside...
-[Nicole speaking] -[Chantel] and I feel like bad for you.
Take it off. Let me see your face.
-Take it off. -[Pedro speaking]
Take it off. Take your mask off.
-[Pedro] Chantel. -Let me see.
[Lidia speaking Spanish]
[Nicole speaking Spanish]
To tell you and your family to move on.
Why are you paying so much attention to me and my family?
[River] 'Cause that's not cool.
[Chantel] Give me that [bleep].
We have this right here for the voodoo.
The power of Christ compels you.
The power of Chr...
Here they come, the demons, they're coming out now.
Yes. Leave, Satan!
-[Nicole laughing] -[Chantel] Leave.
-[Nicole speaking English] -[Chantel] Here they come.
[Nicole speaking]
Here they come.
[Nicole screams]
[Nicole speaking English]
[Chantel] Are you serious? Are you serious?
[River] All right. All right. So, Pedro. Pedro.
[Nicole speaking]
Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on.
Oh, and I had investigated, yeah. [laughs]
-Wait, wait, wait, wait. -I found out so much, you little nasty--
Ooh, he's so nasty. Yeah.
Very pathetic with your coworkers.
You [bleep] with both of your coworkers.
The boss, everybody.
You had to put your [bleep] in everybody? Are you serious?
Oh, my God, Pedro.
-Oh, my God. -[Pedro speaking]
[Chantel] Because of you.
Because you know what you did?
You tried to antagonize me.
-You know who you were having sex with. -[Pedro] Hey.
-[Pedro speaking] -Yeah, you do.
[Nicole speaking]
You posted a picture with Coraima.
-[Pedro speaking] -So you were always,
always in love with Coraima from the beginning.
-[Pedro speaking] -[Chantel] Yes.
Yeah.
[Chantel] You had sex with Coraima. No.
You disrespected our marriage all so much, Pedro.
No.
[Pedro speaking]
[Chantel] You treated me so bad.
-[Chantel] You only stayed with me for the money. -[River] But where--
[Pedro speaking]
[dramatic music playing]
Then why were you treating me so nasty?
Why were you so mean to me?
[Pedro speaking]
Yes.
-What do you wanna say? -[Pedro speaking]
Yeah. Go ahead.
You were an awful husband.
[Pedro speaking]
Teared me down all the time.
[Chantel] What?
You were the worst.
Preying on Americans.
-Keep up the family business. -[Pedro speaking]
[Chantel] I told Pedro,
"I know that you cheated on me."
And he lies to my face.
He... I'm not accepting that apolo...
I'm not accepting any apology from him
because he knows what he did.
It's what I wanted so bad from him.
But now that I actually have that apology,
it's empty words.
I don't accept your apology.
-[Pedro speaking] -You know?
-[Pedro speaking] -[Chantel] I don't accept
your apology because I believe
that you proposed to me...
-[Pedro speaking] -...out of no love.
-[Pedro speaking] -It was never...
The proposal was not for love.
[Chantel] No.
[Chantel] No, it wasn't.
You never did.
-[Pedro speaking] -Because--
You never did.
He never did.
And listen to me.
Oh, no.
Because I know it's all a lie now.
You know the thing that you gave me to propose
to me, that paper?
You did not write those words.
[Pedro speaking]
It never worked because of you from the beginning.
[Nicole speaking English]
[Chantel] Because you tricked me.
You tricked me.
You have a family of predators.
-You prey on people. -[Nicole speaking]
[Chantel] Oh, yeah.
You prey on people because you're pathetic users.
-Yeah. -[Pedro speaking]
You know what you did, Pedro.
You know what you did. You know what you did.
[Pedro speaking]
You know what you did, Pedro. [bleep] you.
Oh, my God.
To cheat on me with people who I've been around,
that is just so disrespectful.
And you can't apologize for it?
What kind of man are you?
[bleep]
[Nicole speaking]
[crying]
[Pedro speaking Spanish]
[Chantel weeping]
Martin, I don't wanna be on camera this way, please.
-[Martin speaking indistinctly] -[Chantel] Here, sit with me.
-Here, sit with me. -[Martin] No, no, look.
[crying] Yeah.
[sniffling]
Hey, Pedro. It's man to man.
I say, how would you feel if that was your sister?
You have nothing to say to me?
You were having sex.
You were having sex with another woman.
Yes.
-I can't. -[River] Well, then walk away.
[Chantel] Yeah. I feel embarrassed.
[River] Well, let's walk away then. Let's go.
[Nicole speaking English]
[River] It's fine.
We're fine.
[Pedro speaking]
[intense music playing]
[tense music playing]
[Lidia speaking Spanish]
[Pedro speaking Spanish]
-[Lidia speaking Spanish] -[Pedro speaking Spanish]
[speaking English]
[River] Those people don't even matter anymore.
Those people don't even matter. They don't even matter.
[Chantel] Part of is mad that I started crying
in front of those people
because they don't deserve my tears.
And these tears are not for them.
It's for my own healing.
Even though this meeting did rile me up,
I have accomplished getting it all out,
letting them know that I know what they did.
I feel like I will never have to deal with Pedro
and his family again.
And I feel free.
I feel
like a big weight is lifted off of my shoulders.
You did your thing. You went in there strong.
Yeah. The apology was so fake, just like...
-[River] Exactly. -...our entire marriage.
[River] Exactly. That's why you didn't accept it.
You did what you said you were gonna do.
You came here, stood up for yourself,
told them the truth,
the whole truth, and [bleep] what they have to say.
That's why when you got up, I said, "Let's walk away,"
'cause that's a step in the right direction.
You walk away. [bleep]
Got up and walked away.
There is part of me that hopes that Pedro
did love me at some point.
But sitting here today, knowing the fact
that he didn't fight for our marriage and knowing the fact
that he didn't even want to go to counseling
when I asked him to,
it just shows that that love was long gone.
When I saw that start to deteriorate and fall apart,
it was so difficult, that I put on blinders,
so that
all I had to hold onto was this fantasy
of what we were and what we were supposed to be.
And I won't do that again.
I for sure will not do that again.
[speaking Spanish]
[Nicole speaking Spanish]
[Lidia speaking Spanish]
[Nicole speaking Spanish]
[speaking Spanish]
[Pedro speaking English]
We should probably check in with Mom, just to tell her.
Okay.
[line ringing]
Hi, Chantel.
-[Chantel] Hi. -How goes it?
I feel... I feel like it's finally over.
-Mmm. -[Karen] Good.
When I went and sat in front of Pedro
and his family, I did feel triggered.
[River] Mmm.
-[Karen] Mmm-hmm. I would tell you-- -And...
that just goes to show how toxic
the relationship really was.
And I feel glad.
I feel I finally have closure.
[River] Mmm.
[Karen] Good.
This is your new beginning.
Yeah, this is my new beginning.
I would say this is a lesson well-learned.
You know, always go with your first instinct.
She did him a favor,
bringing him over here,
then he used her so he could stay.
So I would say
that I will reflect on this moment in time
as a challenging time
that we persevered
and we surmounted yet another challenge
in a victorious way,
and it made us even closer and stronger.
Well, I'm gonna go ahead and pack my bags
and get ready to come back to USA.
-Yep. -[Karen] Amen.
-Bye. -[Karen] Bye.
Let's go home.
I'm ready to get the [bleep] outta here.
All right.
[Pedro speaking Spanish]
[Pedro speaking English]
[Chantel] I was truly in love with Pedro
and...
would have done anything for him.
If he committed a crime,
I'd help him get away with it.
But even though my marriage didn't work out,
I still have dreams.
I still have my goals
and how I imagine my life to be.
I want to be married.
I want a family.
I want children.
And I'm not going to give up on my dreams.
[laughs]
Pedro and I met because he was teaching me
how to learn Spanish.
And then we fell in love.
[exhales deeply]
[screams frantically]
-Pedro! -[Pedro speaking]
[Chantel] Ah!
Baby!
[Pedro speaking English]
Pedro has the perfect body.
He has a nice smile.
He's just, just, mmm, I don't know.
I love me some Pedro.
[laughs] I don't know.
-[Pedro speaking] -Whoo!
[Pedro speaking Spanish]
[Chantel] Oh, no! Whoa.
-[Pedro speaking English] -[Chantel] Thank you.
I really hope that my parents will be at the wedding
and that they'll accept that we're getting married.
[exhales deeply]
[priest] We are gathered together here to join together
this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
I pronounce that they are husband and wife.
You make kiss your bride.
[applause]
[Pedro speaking English]
[Chantel] All that matters is that Pedro and I
are together and we love each other.
This is my husband and I'm his wife.
-[laughs] -Good.
-[laughs] -Oh.
[instrumental music playing]
[Pedro] I'm going to bring you on my back.
[Chantel] Yeah.
