[dramatic music playing]
2
00:00:09,352 --> 00:00:12,320
[Isa] I've kissed
so many frogs in my life,
3
00:00:12,322 --> 00:00:13,722
they're still frogs.
4
00:00:13,724 --> 00:00:15,957
I just can't wait
to find my future husband
5
00:00:15,959 --> 00:00:17,526
and start our life.
6
00:00:17,528 --> 00:00:20,128
[dramatic music playing]
7
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:22,030
I'm trying to see my baby,
you know.
8
00:00:22,032 --> 00:00:24,866
Guess who got a letter
from her boyfriend.
9
00:00:24,868 --> 00:00:26,234
Bryce is my soul mate.
10
00:00:26,236 --> 00:00:29,438
I feel like I hit the
jackpot with this guy.
11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,239
[dramatic music playing]
12
00:00:33,009 --> 00:00:34,876
I'm a prison matchmaker.
13
00:00:34,878 --> 00:00:36,978
I'm just looking for some
ladies to just hang out with.
14
00:00:36,980 --> 00:00:38,747
I'm looking
for someone fun, cool.
15
00:00:38,749 --> 00:00:40,148
I'm very outgoing.
16
00:00:40,150 --> 00:00:42,451
Swipe low just hit my page out.
17
00:00:42,453 --> 00:00:43,985
Just hit me up.
18
00:00:45,221 --> 00:00:47,255
[dramatic music playing]
19
00:00:47,257 --> 00:00:50,325
[woman]
I am headed to meet-up Bryce.
20
00:00:50,327 --> 00:00:52,394
[dramatic music playing]
21
00:00:52,396 --> 00:00:56,064
[man speaking]
22
00:00:56,066 --> 00:00:57,466
You're very welcome.
23
00:00:57,468 --> 00:00:58,733
Chelsea I love you.
24
00:00:58,735 --> 00:01:01,103
I'm ready to get married.
25
00:01:01,105 --> 00:01:02,904
Dance 'till our legs give out.
26
00:01:02,906 --> 00:01:03,939
I can't wait to snuggle.
27
00:01:03,941 --> 00:01:04,973
I want to be in love.
28
00:01:04,975 --> 00:01:06,875
I need to be in love.
29
00:01:06,877 --> 00:01:09,644
[dramatic music playing]
30
00:01:09,646 --> 00:01:12,047
Sometimes I'm so confused.
31
00:01:12,049 --> 00:01:13,348
This is the lowest, right here.
32
00:01:13,350 --> 00:01:14,549
He didn't care.
33
00:01:14,551 --> 00:01:17,085
She'd go crazy on me,
she could cuss me out.
34
00:01:17,087 --> 00:01:19,387
That's a big red flag
in my book.
35
00:01:19,389 --> 00:01:23,258
[woman] Today, we are getting
tattoos of each other's names.
36
00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:25,260
- What?
- Why did you do that?
37
00:01:25,262 --> 00:01:27,062
[woman]
It's been a long four years
38
00:01:27,064 --> 00:01:29,097
and it has all lead up
to this moment.
39
00:01:29,099 --> 00:01:31,233
I'm just waiting for him
to walk out the door.
40
00:01:31,235 --> 00:01:32,300
- [woman screams]
- [man] Hello!
41
00:01:32,302 --> 00:01:35,670
[dramatic music playing]
42
00:01:40,776 --> 00:01:42,244
[Chelsea] My name is Chelsea.
43
00:01:42,246 --> 00:01:45,247
I'm 42-years-old from
Panama City Beach, Florida.
44
00:01:45,249 --> 00:01:47,249
I'm a school teacher by day
45
00:01:47,251 --> 00:01:50,385
and I have a unique hobby
by night.
46
00:01:51,287 --> 00:01:53,522
[man] IDOC number, 9
[bleep] 5, look,
47
00:01:53,524 --> 00:01:54,556
I'm feeling all right.
48
00:01:54,558 --> 00:01:57,125
I'm a prison matchmaker.
49
00:01:57,127 --> 00:01:59,327
Make it out soon,
so hit me up. All right.
50
00:01:59,329 --> 00:02:00,996
I'm looking forward
to hear from you. Bye!
51
00:02:00,998 --> 00:02:02,230
[Chelsea] The girls
are gonna like him
52
00:02:02,232 --> 00:02:04,065
because he's got personality.
53
00:02:04,067 --> 00:02:06,468
I've been writing pen pals
for years
54
00:02:06,470 --> 00:02:08,370
and it just dawned on me,
55
00:02:08,372 --> 00:02:10,972
all these people that are single
56
00:02:10,974 --> 00:02:14,075
stuck in prison with nobody
to talk to, I thought,
57
00:02:14,077 --> 00:02:17,045
"Wait a minute, this could
definitely be a business."
58
00:02:17,047 --> 00:02:20,015
Okay. And what age range
are you looking for?
59
00:02:20,017 --> 00:02:21,082
Got you.
60
00:02:21,951 --> 00:02:23,118
Masculine.
61
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,453
So I started taking clients.
62
00:02:25,455 --> 00:02:27,489
Their stigma,
a lot of people have with,
63
00:02:27,491 --> 00:02:28,890
"Ooh, they're,
they're in prison."
64
00:02:28,892 --> 00:02:31,860
But they're there trying
to better their life
65
00:02:31,862 --> 00:02:35,430
and, you know, a lot
of these guys are smoking hot.
66
00:02:37,433 --> 00:02:38,867
[Manuel] Well, hello Chelsea.
67
00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:40,402
Hello love.
68
00:02:40,404 --> 00:02:44,372
I'm in a relationship with
an inmate, his name is Manuel.
69
00:02:44,374 --> 00:02:45,740
Did you get a rack?
70
00:02:45,742 --> 00:02:46,541
- I did.
- Yeah?
71
00:02:46,543 --> 00:02:47,742
I did, I did.
72
00:02:47,744 --> 00:02:49,177
I'm getting big, actually.
73
00:02:49,179 --> 00:02:50,312
I'm losing my cakes.
74
00:02:50,314 --> 00:02:51,513
- Yeah?
- How about that?
75
00:02:52,882 --> 00:02:54,416
You're not gonna have
nothing to hold on.
76
00:02:54,418 --> 00:02:56,251
Don't be too skinny babe.
77
00:02:56,253 --> 00:02:59,187
I was in shock when I realized
that I had feelings for Manuel
78
00:02:59,189 --> 00:03:03,391
because that's not me,
I've had many pen pals
79
00:03:03,393 --> 00:03:06,962
over the years and never
fallen for any of them.
80
00:03:06,964 --> 00:03:10,131
But, yeah,
I've fallen for Manuel,
81
00:03:10,133 --> 00:03:15,003
and he's super attractive,
he's got really big muscles.
82
00:03:15,005 --> 00:03:17,172
I hate not been able
to talk to you some days,
83
00:03:17,174 --> 00:03:19,107
it really drive me nuts.
84
00:03:19,109 --> 00:03:20,308
I needed to hear your voice.
85
00:03:20,310 --> 00:03:21,743
Oh, my God.
86
00:03:21,745 --> 00:03:24,212
Uh, I've been pouty lately,
I'm not even gonna lie.
87
00:03:24,214 --> 00:03:25,714
I know, I can tell.
88
00:03:25,716 --> 00:03:27,182
Look, if they can work for me.
89
00:03:27,184 --> 00:03:28,316
You know Chelsea, I love you.
90
00:03:28,318 --> 00:03:30,118
You know what, I love you too.
91
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,320
Listen, fool, I love you too.
92
00:03:32,322 --> 00:03:33,922
It can work for anyone.
93
00:03:33,924 --> 00:03:36,424
I've always wanted
to help people ever since
94
00:03:36,426 --> 00:03:39,060
I was little rescuing puppies,
95
00:03:39,062 --> 00:03:42,330
and kittens, and bees.
96
00:03:42,332 --> 00:03:46,034
So I'm not surprised to find
myself prison matchmaking.
97
00:03:46,036 --> 00:03:47,302
So with conjugal visits,
98
00:03:47,304 --> 00:03:50,238
you have to actually be
married to the person.
99
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,074
It feels like this is
a natural progression for me.
100
00:03:53,943 --> 00:03:55,310
[Keith]
My name's Keith, I'm 21,
101
00:03:55,312 --> 00:03:57,178
by the way, I'm a virgin,
102
00:03:57,180 --> 00:03:59,214
I'm looking for that
special girl to pop my cherry.
103
00:04:00,883 --> 00:04:03,618
He's a cute kid,
he's gonna do really well.
104
00:04:07,556 --> 00:04:08,957
Oh, it's gorgeous
out here today.
105
00:04:08,959 --> 00:04:10,225
It's beautiful out.
106
00:04:10,227 --> 00:04:11,326
[Suz] Just gorgeous.
107
00:04:11,328 --> 00:04:13,028
I'm glad you came by, mom.
108
00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:16,331
Oh, I've been wanting to have
a good conversation with you
109
00:04:16,333 --> 00:04:18,433
- not just on the phone but...
- [Chelsea] I know.
110
00:04:18,435 --> 00:04:20,101
[Suz]
We both got a lot going on.
111
00:04:20,103 --> 00:04:21,403
[Chelsea] And I feel like
with all this, like,
112
00:04:21,405 --> 00:04:23,071
pen paling
that I've been doing, like,
113
00:04:23,073 --> 00:04:26,408
my time is just so occupied.
114
00:04:26,410 --> 00:04:31,313
My mom and I are super close
but my mom has no idea
115
00:04:31,315 --> 00:04:34,449
that I'm currently
dating an inmate.
116
00:04:34,451 --> 00:04:36,885
So I'm... I've got all these
guys now, like, writing me,
117
00:04:36,887 --> 00:04:38,987
all the time, and some of them
118
00:04:38,989 --> 00:04:41,256
is just like they pull
on your heart strings like...
119
00:04:41,258 --> 00:04:42,791
Hmm, I can imagine.
120
00:04:42,793 --> 00:04:44,392
[Chelsea] There's this one
guy and he's like...
121
00:04:44,394 --> 00:04:46,528
he's like almost eighty
and he's been in there
122
00:04:46,530 --> 00:04:49,964
for like twenty years, and yeah,
123
00:04:49,966 --> 00:04:53,234
he did something really bad
but he's little and old.
124
00:04:54,236 --> 00:04:57,305
There you go.
That rescue mentality.
125
00:04:57,307 --> 00:05:00,542
Chelsea has always been,
pick up a stray cat,
126
00:05:00,544 --> 00:05:04,979
pick up a rescue puppy,
she has such a tender heart.
127
00:05:04,981 --> 00:05:06,981
So here's the thing,
128
00:05:08,751 --> 00:05:11,953
I did form
a really close relationship
129
00:05:11,955 --> 00:05:14,889
with this one guy, Manuel.
130
00:05:14,891 --> 00:05:16,157
- Uh-huh.
- [Chelsea] Um, he's great.
131
00:05:16,159 --> 00:05:19,527
He's a great guy,
he's smart, um, he's my age,
132
00:05:19,529 --> 00:05:21,262
locked up in Idaho,
133
00:05:21,264 --> 00:05:25,233
and now it's like
telephone conversations,
134
00:05:26,469 --> 00:05:28,870
but I see, like,
potential with him, you know,
135
00:05:28,872 --> 00:05:30,305
I could see him being somebody
136
00:05:30,307 --> 00:05:33,408
I could have a relationship
with on the outside.
137
00:05:35,578 --> 00:05:37,278
- I know.
- That's concerning.
138
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:38,713
Does he have children?
139
00:05:38,715 --> 00:05:40,382
He does have kids, yeah.
140
00:05:40,384 --> 00:05:43,184
Are you supposed to meet him,
when is he getting out?
141
00:05:43,186 --> 00:05:47,188
[Chelsea] He gets out
at the end of December...
142
00:05:47,190 --> 00:05:49,290
- Oh, that's soon.
- Uh, yeah.
143
00:05:50,726 --> 00:05:52,293
[Suz] What the hell?
144
00:05:52,295 --> 00:05:53,728
You know,
I thought this was a pen pal?
145
00:05:53,730 --> 00:05:55,096
You said... You didn't tell me
146
00:05:55,098 --> 00:05:57,499
anything about dating somebody.
147
00:05:57,501 --> 00:06:00,101
Now he has been in prison
a few times.
148
00:06:00,103 --> 00:06:01,136
[Suz] Oh. Drugs?
149
00:06:01,138 --> 00:06:03,004
[Chelsea]
Drugs and grand theft.
150
00:06:03,006 --> 00:06:05,140
- Oh, my goodness.
- [Chelsea] He was...
151
00:06:05,142 --> 00:06:07,375
But he's humbled himself
this time.
152
00:06:08,577 --> 00:06:11,079
So I can see, I don't...
I know you don't wanna hear it
153
00:06:11,081 --> 00:06:14,916
but I can see him being somebody
154
00:06:14,918 --> 00:06:16,217
I could fall in love with
155
00:06:16,219 --> 00:06:17,919
and he's the first one
I've ever felt this way for.
156
00:06:17,921 --> 00:06:19,521
So, it sounds to me like
you're sort of already
157
00:06:19,523 --> 00:06:21,956
- on the brink of that.
- [Chelsea] Yeah.
158
00:06:21,958 --> 00:06:24,092
- Would that be accurate?
- Yeah, absolutely.
159
00:06:24,094 --> 00:06:25,326
[Suz] For whatever reason,
160
00:06:25,328 --> 00:06:28,229
she likes him but Manuel
to me is a stranger.
161
00:06:28,231 --> 00:06:30,298
Is Manuel gonna be
the kind of person
162
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:33,468
that's gonna be good to my
granddaughter and my grandson?
163
00:06:33,470 --> 00:06:36,271
Okay. Well here's one
of my concerns,
164
00:06:36,273 --> 00:06:37,972
they have to survive in there,
165
00:06:37,974 --> 00:06:40,708
and sometimes that means
they become violent
166
00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:43,278
when maybe their charge
wasn't violent.
167
00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:45,513
And you say he loves children
168
00:06:45,515 --> 00:06:47,415
but obviously
he didn't care enough
169
00:06:47,417 --> 00:06:49,684
about his own children
to do right.
170
00:06:50,853 --> 00:06:52,821
I think we all make mistakes
and, you know,
171
00:06:52,823 --> 00:06:55,356
everybody deserves
a second chance.
172
00:06:56,759 --> 00:06:58,326
You couldn't just like
one of those doctors
173
00:06:58,328 --> 00:07:00,662
that's been asking you out
all these years?
174
00:07:01,897 --> 00:07:05,233
I'm sorry, but, I mean,
it's my question, you know,
175
00:07:05,235 --> 00:07:06,568
what's the appeal?
176
00:07:06,570 --> 00:07:08,503
Is it because he's needy
and because you feel like
177
00:07:08,505 --> 00:07:10,238
you need to rescue him?
178
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,374
Because that's no basis
for a relationship.
179
00:07:14,243 --> 00:07:17,312
You can't help
who you fall in love with.
180
00:07:17,314 --> 00:07:19,347
And you don't think
there's any possibility
181
00:07:19,349 --> 00:07:21,216
of him conning you?
182
00:07:21,218 --> 00:07:22,917
I mean, for what?
183
00:07:22,919 --> 00:07:24,085
How's he gonna con me?
184
00:07:24,087 --> 00:07:25,587
I don't have any money.
185
00:07:25,589 --> 00:07:27,322
How do you know
he's not videoing
186
00:07:27,324 --> 00:07:29,324
with a dozen other women?
187
00:07:29,326 --> 00:07:30,792
I don't.
188
00:07:30,794 --> 00:07:32,994
But I can think
of many guys that I've, like,
189
00:07:32,996 --> 00:07:37,899
dated in my past who had
one or two of us, you know.
190
00:07:37,901 --> 00:07:39,033
That's just a chance
you're taking?
191
00:07:39,035 --> 00:07:40,201
[Chelsea] Yeah.
192
00:07:40,203 --> 00:07:44,572
We'll see is my attitude
right now.
193
00:07:47,176 --> 00:07:50,745
[dramatic music playing]
194
00:07:50,747 --> 00:07:53,081
[Isa]
I'm Isa, I'm 21-years-old,
195
00:07:53,083 --> 00:07:55,850
I am a first generation
college student.
196
00:07:55,852 --> 00:07:58,086
Born and raised in the Bronx.
197
00:07:58,088 --> 00:07:59,420
My life is pretty normal,
198
00:07:59,422 --> 00:08:00,922
somewhat,
199
00:08:00,924 --> 00:08:02,490
but then I met Devin.
200
00:08:03,359 --> 00:08:05,627
Devin is my bear.
201
00:08:06,729 --> 00:08:10,231
Like, he's big
but he's such a softy.
202
00:08:10,233 --> 00:08:13,468
I do see a future with Devin
but one thing about him
203
00:08:13,470 --> 00:08:17,372
is that he's never met me
in real life.
204
00:08:17,374 --> 00:08:20,108
[woman] This is a prepaid
call from an inmate
205
00:08:20,110 --> 00:08:22,610
to the [bleep]
Correctional Institution.
206
00:08:22,612 --> 00:08:24,746
- [Devin speaking]
- Hello, hi.
207
00:08:24,748 --> 00:08:26,447
[Devin speaking]
208
00:08:28,350 --> 00:08:30,818
[Isa] I first met Devin
when I was researching
209
00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:33,421
for a school project
and I came across
210
00:08:33,423 --> 00:08:37,258
Devin's video on a pen pal
website for prisoners,
211
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:38,426
and I thought, "Oh, my God,
212
00:08:38,428 --> 00:08:40,228
he really wants me
to write him back."
213
00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:42,730
And, you know,
and really talk to me,
214
00:08:42,732 --> 00:08:45,099
and then I got a phone call
from Chelsea
215
00:08:45,101 --> 00:08:46,768
and she persuaded me to actually
216
00:08:46,770 --> 00:08:48,937
really give Devin a chance.
217
00:08:48,939 --> 00:08:52,507
Four months later,
our relationship has expanded.
218
00:08:52,509 --> 00:08:55,543
[Devin speaking]
219
00:09:02,151 --> 00:09:04,385
[Isa] Devin told me
that he's in prison
220
00:09:04,387 --> 00:09:06,354
because he was in the
vehicle with someone
221
00:09:06,356 --> 00:09:09,524
that had an armed weapon
and it went off,
222
00:09:09,526 --> 00:09:12,994
and he got four years
because of that,
223
00:09:12,996 --> 00:09:15,396
but I see Devin for who he is,
224
00:09:15,398 --> 00:09:17,966
he's got goals
and when he comes out,
225
00:09:17,968 --> 00:09:20,201
he expects to really
accomplish those goals
226
00:09:20,203 --> 00:09:22,070
which is what
I really love about him.
227
00:09:22,072 --> 00:09:25,306
[Devin speaking]
228
00:09:35,150 --> 00:09:37,552
[Isa] I never expected
to date an inmate,
229
00:09:37,554 --> 00:09:39,954
I expected to date a normal man,
230
00:09:39,956 --> 00:09:41,389
if my parents did find out
231
00:09:41,391 --> 00:09:43,124
that I was talking
to an incarcerated man,
232
00:09:43,126 --> 00:09:44,392
they would think that
I'm setting myself up
233
00:09:44,394 --> 00:09:46,728
for a murder.
234
00:09:46,730 --> 00:09:50,098
I'm still trying to figure
out what is it about this man.
235
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:53,001
[Devin speaking]
236
00:09:53,003 --> 00:09:53,601
Okay.
237
00:09:53,603 --> 00:09:54,736
Sorry mom.
238
00:10:03,345 --> 00:10:05,179
I'm Brey. I'm 22-years-old
239
00:10:05,181 --> 00:10:06,881
and I'm a photographer.
240
00:10:06,883 --> 00:10:08,249
I mean, show something,
be like, "What's up?
241
00:10:08,251 --> 00:10:10,151
What you reckon?"
There you go.
242
00:10:11,020 --> 00:10:13,321
I love anime, I love videogames.
243
00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:16,090
People will be like,
"Oh, no, that's nerdy."
244
00:10:16,092 --> 00:10:17,525
But that's me.
245
00:10:18,727 --> 00:10:20,428
I may come off shy
to some people but, you know,
246
00:10:20,430 --> 00:10:23,197
I'm just kind of
to myself a little bit
247
00:10:23,199 --> 00:10:26,367
but I'm a, you know, I like
to say like a kind-hearted,
248
00:10:26,369 --> 00:10:28,136
just goofy person.
249
00:10:28,138 --> 00:10:30,405
I first learned
about inmate matchmaking
250
00:10:30,407 --> 00:10:32,874
from my boy, Jacob,
that's Chelsea's son.
251
00:10:32,876 --> 00:10:34,008
He was just like,
"Yeah, my mom's doing
252
00:10:34,010 --> 00:10:35,410
this little, like,
dating thing."
253
00:10:35,412 --> 00:10:37,111
And she came to me one day,
she was like,
254
00:10:37,113 --> 00:10:38,713
"Hey, are you
trying to find somebody?
255
00:10:38,715 --> 00:10:39,514
You looking for love, hon?"
256
00:10:39,516 --> 00:10:42,750
And I'm just like, "Yeah."
257
00:10:42,752 --> 00:10:44,285
It was like,
"I'm trying to find some love
258
00:10:44,287 --> 00:10:45,987
and it's, like,
it's been a minute."
259
00:10:45,989 --> 00:10:47,722
I don't know.
260
00:10:47,724 --> 00:10:49,490
Because I need to step
out of that comfort zone,
261
00:10:49,492 --> 00:10:52,427
so today I'm here at the pier
with Jake and my boy Marion,
262
00:10:52,429 --> 00:10:54,162
and I'm breaking the news,
263
00:10:54,164 --> 00:10:55,463
this is something
I wanna go through with.
264
00:10:55,465 --> 00:10:57,999
- Talked to your mom yesterday.
- [Jacob] Okay.
265
00:10:59,001 --> 00:11:01,369
She got me
into some matchmaking.
266
00:11:01,371 --> 00:11:03,571
- Got you.
- Yeah, you already know.
267
00:11:03,573 --> 00:11:04,906
Matchmaking?
268
00:11:04,908 --> 00:11:06,240
About what?
269
00:11:07,176 --> 00:11:09,143
His mom's doing
a little matchmaking service
270
00:11:09,145 --> 00:11:11,612
with, uh, inmates.
271
00:11:13,348 --> 00:11:14,682
Why is your mom...
272
00:11:15,617 --> 00:11:16,984
Why is she doing this?
273
00:11:16,986 --> 00:11:18,953
She's doing it
as a... as a business, man.
274
00:11:18,955 --> 00:11:21,255
It always feels very interesting
275
00:11:21,257 --> 00:11:24,726
trying to explain
what exactly my mom does, uh,
276
00:11:24,728 --> 00:11:28,029
it gets a lot of interesting
reactions to say the least.
277
00:11:29,331 --> 00:11:32,233
So these girls
are in jail right now?
278
00:11:32,235 --> 00:11:34,569
These girls are in jail
currently right now.
279
00:11:35,504 --> 00:11:37,305
Uh, dude.
280
00:11:38,107 --> 00:11:39,107
I don't know.
281
00:11:40,442 --> 00:11:42,410
Matchmaking
with inmates that's, like,
282
00:11:42,412 --> 00:11:44,212
really still in jail?
283
00:11:44,214 --> 00:11:45,947
Like, this is crazy.
284
00:11:45,949 --> 00:11:48,249
Do you feel like this is
a little extreme, like...
285
00:11:48,251 --> 00:11:50,318
You know me man, you know,
I'm a shy person, you know,
286
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,352
it's a really hard for me
to, like,
287
00:11:51,354 --> 00:11:53,588
mix and mingle with people.
288
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:57,325
See I know you shy but, like,
take a public speaking class.
289
00:11:58,527 --> 00:11:59,827
I mean...
290
00:11:59,829 --> 00:12:01,329
Ever since I've known Brey,
291
00:12:01,331 --> 00:12:04,065
the one thing he hasn't really
grown out of is that shyness,
292
00:12:04,067 --> 00:12:07,301
like he's always been
a little bit, like, reserved.
293
00:12:07,303 --> 00:12:10,004
And this is not
normally Brey's behavior.
294
00:12:11,006 --> 00:12:12,240
I'm glad to see Brey
295
00:12:12,242 --> 00:12:14,342
sort of starting
to poke out of his shell.
296
00:12:14,344 --> 00:12:16,711
Uh, that's what I'm saying man,
297
00:12:16,713 --> 00:12:19,046
I ain't gonna lie, I did not
expect this from you.
298
00:12:19,048 --> 00:12:20,982
There's something
about it man, it's just...
299
00:12:20,984 --> 00:12:22,016
[Jacob] Yeah.
300
00:12:22,018 --> 00:12:23,351
[Marion]
This does not scare you, like,
301
00:12:23,353 --> 00:12:25,419
she probably, like,
maybe more violent?
302
00:12:26,989 --> 00:12:28,422
I'm not gonna lie, a little
bit, I'm a little nervous.
303
00:12:28,424 --> 00:12:30,124
- [Marion] You nervous?
- Yeah, a little nervous
304
00:12:30,126 --> 00:12:31,959
but as long
as she's willing to change.
305
00:12:31,961 --> 00:12:34,462
Everybody has a chance
to redeem themselves so...
306
00:12:34,464 --> 00:12:36,030
[Brey] Everybody
makes mistakes in life,
307
00:12:36,032 --> 00:12:37,265
you know, so.
308
00:12:37,267 --> 00:12:39,367
[Marion]
I don't know man, like,
309
00:12:39,369 --> 00:12:41,102
that's a...
that's a hell of a mistake.
310
00:12:41,104 --> 00:12:43,304
I know going
for someone in prison,
311
00:12:43,306 --> 00:12:46,474
everyone is gonna say some
off the wall things about it
312
00:12:46,476 --> 00:12:48,976
because it's not the norm
but at the end of the day,
313
00:12:48,978 --> 00:12:51,445
I'm still gonna do
what I wanna do.
314
00:12:51,447 --> 00:12:53,414
I wanna try something
different man, I know...
315
00:12:53,416 --> 00:12:54,916
I know love's out there,
you know,
316
00:12:54,918 --> 00:12:57,351
this is just one of the ways
I wanna try and find it.
317
00:12:58,253 --> 00:13:01,522
This could be an absolute
disaster, like,
318
00:13:01,524 --> 00:13:04,759
Brey could get seriously hurt
physically, mentally,
319
00:13:04,761 --> 00:13:07,261
he can, you know,
he's vulnerable.
320
00:13:07,263 --> 00:13:09,864
It is... It is very...
Well, it's just kind of hard
321
00:13:09,866 --> 00:13:11,933
to wrap my mind around,
I'm not gonna lie to you.
322
00:13:11,935 --> 00:13:13,201
Have you told your dad
about this?
323
00:13:13,203 --> 00:13:14,869
No, not at all.
324
00:13:14,871 --> 00:13:16,437
Me and my dad,
that's my dude right there,
325
00:13:16,439 --> 00:13:18,139
that's my partner in crime.
326
00:13:18,141 --> 00:13:20,041
I'm really nervous
on how my dad's gonna react,
327
00:13:20,043 --> 00:13:21,342
my dad's probably
gonna look at me, like,
328
00:13:21,344 --> 00:13:22,310
"Man, this boy's crazy."
329
00:13:22,312 --> 00:13:23,978
I don't know. I don't...
330
00:13:27,049 --> 00:13:28,282
[upbeat music playing]
331
00:13:28,284 --> 00:13:29,417
[Chelsea]
Tonight, I am meeting up
332
00:13:29,419 --> 00:13:32,086
with my best friend Jonathan.
333
00:13:32,088 --> 00:13:34,021
I wanna update him
with what's going on
334
00:13:34,023 --> 00:13:35,456
with me and Manuel.
335
00:13:35,458 --> 00:13:37,391
Jonathan is brutally honest
336
00:13:37,393 --> 00:13:38,960
and I'm sure that
337
00:13:38,962 --> 00:13:40,494
he's going to have a lot to say.
338
00:13:40,496 --> 00:13:43,331
I have so much to tell you
339
00:13:43,333 --> 00:13:46,334
about Manuel,
340
00:13:46,336 --> 00:13:48,302
- the guy that's locked up.
- [Jonathan] Mmm-hmm.
341
00:13:48,304 --> 00:13:50,438
You know,
that I've been talking to,
342
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,874
like, he is fine.
343
00:13:52,876 --> 00:13:53,876
Can I see?
344
00:13:54,977 --> 00:13:58,312
So, super good looking,
345
00:13:58,314 --> 00:14:00,014
muscly.
346
00:14:00,016 --> 00:14:02,350
So is this like
a serious relationship?
347
00:14:02,352 --> 00:14:04,886
[Chelsea] This is like
pretty serious, yeah.
348
00:14:04,888 --> 00:14:07,655
- This is not...
- On a... On a level of, like,
349
00:14:07,657 --> 00:14:09,123
one to ten, where are we?
350
00:14:09,125 --> 00:14:11,993
I'd say we're, like, an eight,
351
00:14:11,995 --> 00:14:14,028
like, we're in pretty deep.
352
00:14:14,930 --> 00:14:18,232
Chelsea jumps
from relationships so fast,
353
00:14:18,234 --> 00:14:20,201
so although Chelsea
thinks Manuel is here
354
00:14:20,203 --> 00:14:23,537
for the long term, like,
I know for a fact Manuel
355
00:14:23,539 --> 00:14:27,375
is, like, one phone call away
from getting dumped.
356
00:14:28,176 --> 00:14:30,311
I'm just, like, "All right girl,
357
00:14:30,313 --> 00:14:32,613
call me tomorrow and let me know
358
00:14:32,615 --> 00:14:34,448
who you have in store next."
359
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:37,151
So he's where?
360
00:14:37,153 --> 00:14:38,586
- He's in Idaho.
- [Jonathan] Idaho?
361
00:14:38,588 --> 00:14:40,421
- Udaho? No.
- [Chelsea] Udaho.
362
00:14:40,423 --> 00:14:41,989
Mama.
363
00:14:41,991 --> 00:14:43,291
You de prisoner.
364
00:14:43,293 --> 00:14:44,392
No.
365
00:14:45,394 --> 00:14:47,428
Um, but he has an out date,
obviously,
366
00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:49,997
um, the end of December.
367
00:14:49,999 --> 00:14:50,531
Okay.
368
00:14:50,533 --> 00:14:52,366
[Chelsea] So...
369
00:14:52,368 --> 00:14:54,268
plan's will probably be
to get him.
370
00:14:55,137 --> 00:14:56,938
Like, you go there to get him?
371
00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:58,372
[Chelsea] To, like, yeah.
372
00:14:59,908 --> 00:15:01,175
- So I mean...
- [Jonathan] Has he, like,
373
00:15:01,177 --> 00:15:03,077
walked you through his arrests?
374
00:15:03,079 --> 00:15:05,079
He's been arrested
a bunch of times.
375
00:15:05,081 --> 00:15:06,247
About how many times?
376
00:15:06,249 --> 00:15:09,083
[Chelsea] Like, a bunch, um...
377
00:15:09,085 --> 00:15:10,085
On one hand?
378
00:15:11,286 --> 00:15:12,420
- Maybe.
- Two hands?
379
00:15:12,422 --> 00:15:14,388
Maybe two.
380
00:15:14,390 --> 00:15:16,891
[Jonathan] The fact that
Manuel has this rap sheet
381
00:15:16,893 --> 00:15:21,095
that is as long as a CVS
receipt is concerning.
382
00:15:21,097 --> 00:15:23,497
I support the fact that she
wants to try something new,
383
00:15:23,499 --> 00:15:26,367
I support the fact that
she wants to date an inmate.
384
00:15:26,369 --> 00:15:29,570
But maybe get someone
that ran a stop sign.
385
00:15:29,572 --> 00:15:31,272
You Insana Girl.
386
00:15:31,274 --> 00:15:33,507
So, like, what was the, like,
387
00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:36,844
I see myself with a future
with someone that's in prison?
388
00:15:36,846 --> 00:15:39,246
[Chelsea] I think it's because
when they're locked up,
389
00:15:39,248 --> 00:15:40,715
obviously, if they're out here,
390
00:15:40,717 --> 00:15:42,516
you're gonna get sexual
super-fast, right?
391
00:15:42,518 --> 00:15:43,951
- [Jonathan] Yeah.
- Well, in prison,
392
00:15:43,953 --> 00:15:46,120
you can only get sexual
a little few ways
393
00:15:46,122 --> 00:15:48,889
that's gonna be
some dirty letters
394
00:15:48,891 --> 00:15:51,292
or some nasty phone calls.
395
00:15:51,294 --> 00:15:53,127
Have you sent him
any pictures of...
396
00:15:53,129 --> 00:15:55,329
Or videos of yourself,
like, can you do that?
397
00:15:55,331 --> 00:15:57,431
Not nasty, nasty but...
398
00:15:57,433 --> 00:15:59,333
You're just, like,
"Ooh, look at me. Like, yeah."
399
00:15:59,335 --> 00:16:01,469
You know, just cute,
400
00:16:02,904 --> 00:16:04,238
but everything's covered.
401
00:16:05,307 --> 00:16:07,241
I don't know.
402
00:16:07,243 --> 00:16:10,077
Chelsea saying that, like,
sending nudes is not allowed,
403
00:16:10,079 --> 00:16:12,747
it's just, like,
break the rules, girl.
404
00:16:12,749 --> 00:16:14,081
Get the [bleep] pic, like,
405
00:16:14,083 --> 00:16:16,884
we need to know
what you're working with.
406
00:16:16,886 --> 00:16:18,352
- Yeah.
- [Jonathan] So, do you guys,
407
00:16:18,354 --> 00:16:19,420
like, when you're talking,
408
00:16:19,422 --> 00:16:20,488
do you just explain, like,
409
00:16:20,490 --> 00:16:22,256
my boobs are, like.
410
00:16:22,258 --> 00:16:23,924
Can you hear me saying
some crap like that?
411
00:16:23,926 --> 00:16:26,394
- [Jonathan] I don't know.
- No.
412
00:16:26,396 --> 00:16:30,164
I do lose interest
with guys pretty fast.
413
00:16:30,166 --> 00:16:33,167
So with Manuel,
just building it up,
414
00:16:33,169 --> 00:16:36,203
it's pretty special
and different, you know,
415
00:16:36,205 --> 00:16:39,206
even though he is really sexy,
I do care about him.
416
00:16:39,208 --> 00:16:41,409
Has he done anything yet,
like, you know, you usually,
417
00:16:41,411 --> 00:16:43,577
like, you find something
wrong with, like,
418
00:16:44,746 --> 00:16:46,514
a guy and then you're, like,
"Ooh, I'm out."
419
00:16:46,516 --> 00:16:48,315
- Has he done anything?
- No.
420
00:16:48,317 --> 00:16:50,251
She is, like,
a relationship hopper
421
00:16:50,253 --> 00:16:51,552
and, um...
422
00:16:52,487 --> 00:16:54,288
I hate that for her because
423
00:16:54,290 --> 00:16:56,190
she's so loving, so caring,
424
00:16:56,192 --> 00:16:57,958
but I think that she's, like,
425
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,660
she's scared to, like,
426
00:16:59,662 --> 00:17:01,896
have, like, uh,
a hardcore commitment.
427
00:17:01,898 --> 00:17:05,199
So going for, like, uh,
inmate that is literally
428
00:17:05,201 --> 00:17:08,069
locked up
is not surprising to me.
429
00:17:08,071 --> 00:17:10,805
She doesn't want to break
that wall down
430
00:17:10,807 --> 00:17:12,206
and let someone inside.
431
00:17:12,208 --> 00:17:16,110
[Chelsea] He's just like
easy to talk to and he cares.
432
00:17:16,112 --> 00:17:18,145
Except, I haven't heard
from him in a few days,
433
00:17:18,147 --> 00:17:20,848
but I think that might be,
like, due to, like,
434
00:17:20,850 --> 00:17:23,317
a lockdown because they have,
you know, it's prison,
435
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,387
so there is times where
he doesn't get to talk to me.
436
00:17:26,389 --> 00:17:30,057
Like, I've messaged him,
like, non-stop and nothing.
437
00:17:30,059 --> 00:17:31,392
- That's never happened before?
- No.
438
00:17:31,394 --> 00:17:34,061
Usually I hear from him
multiple times a day.
439
00:17:34,063 --> 00:17:37,431
He's literally doing to you
what you typically do
440
00:17:37,433 --> 00:17:38,699
to other people,
441
00:17:40,001 --> 00:17:41,535
ghosting them, but in...
442
00:17:41,537 --> 00:17:43,337
We don't know
that he's ghosting me.
443
00:17:43,339 --> 00:17:45,005
He's not talking to you.
444
00:17:47,976 --> 00:17:50,244
That's a ghost
if I ever seen one.
445
00:17:50,246 --> 00:17:51,312
Woo, woo.
446
00:17:55,183 --> 00:17:59,019
[upbeat music playing]
447
00:18:00,422 --> 00:18:01,989
[Isa]
So I'm meeting Aliyah today
448
00:18:01,991 --> 00:18:03,724
in my favorite coffee shop,
449
00:18:03,726 --> 00:18:07,895
because I really needed to
talk to someone about Devin.
450
00:18:07,897 --> 00:18:10,998
Aliyah knows that
I've been talking to Devin,
451
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,268
but she doesn't know
that it turned serious.
452
00:18:14,270 --> 00:18:15,903
- You know.
- You stopped updating us.
453
00:18:15,905 --> 00:18:17,238
I meant to, like, update y'all.
454
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,873
But, like, I was just like,
455
00:18:18,875 --> 00:18:20,908
"Wait, this is getting
out of hand." I'm, like,
456
00:18:20,910 --> 00:18:22,443
I don't know what you guys
are gonna think now.
457
00:18:22,445 --> 00:18:23,511
I'm confused
because I didn't know
458
00:18:23,513 --> 00:18:24,945
that you actually liked him.
459
00:18:24,947 --> 00:18:27,047
Well, this has escalated.
460
00:18:27,049 --> 00:18:28,916
You are crazy.
461
00:18:28,918 --> 00:18:30,384
I don't think
that I ever expected Isa
462
00:18:30,386 --> 00:18:31,452
to date an inmate.
463
00:18:31,454 --> 00:18:33,454
So when she told us about it,
464
00:18:33,456 --> 00:18:36,056
we were kind of, like,
"Ah, okay."
465
00:18:36,058 --> 00:18:37,992
Is he talking to anyone else?
466
00:18:37,994 --> 00:18:40,060
No.
Like, he calls me every day.
467
00:18:40,062 --> 00:18:41,729
[Aliyah] Oh, my gosh.
468
00:18:41,731 --> 00:18:43,464
So he sends you videos?
469
00:18:43,466 --> 00:18:44,798
- He does.
- [Aliyah] Let me see.
470
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,167
[Isa] This is what he says.
471
00:18:46,169 --> 00:18:48,235
He's, like, "Just thought
I'd send you something."
472
00:18:49,037 --> 00:18:52,273
[Devin speaking]
473
00:18:59,714 --> 00:19:02,550
Has he said that he loved you
yet, like, outwardly?
474
00:19:02,552 --> 00:19:03,617
He's very in love.
475
00:19:04,619 --> 00:19:06,253
[Aliyah] Wow.
He's moving so fast.
476
00:19:06,255 --> 00:19:07,288
[Isa] He is.
477
00:19:07,290 --> 00:19:08,722
Are you in love too?
478
00:19:10,625 --> 00:19:12,726
Love is a very strong word.
479
00:19:12,728 --> 00:19:14,929
Um, I do care about him.
480
00:19:14,931 --> 00:19:16,230
[Aliyah] I do think
that it's a little scary
481
00:19:16,232 --> 00:19:18,933
on her part that him
moving so quickly,
482
00:19:18,935 --> 00:19:20,234
he's, like,
investing a lot in her.
483
00:19:20,236 --> 00:19:22,736
So, like, I'm worried
that he's going to be,
484
00:19:22,738 --> 00:19:25,306
I don't know, like,
hurt by her or angry with her.
485
00:19:25,308 --> 00:19:27,141
We don't really know
how he's gonna react
486
00:19:27,143 --> 00:19:28,375
and we don't have
a lot of background on him
487
00:19:28,377 --> 00:19:30,144
to know, like, you know,
488
00:19:30,146 --> 00:19:32,079
what he would be like
in that situation.
489
00:19:32,881 --> 00:19:34,114
This happened so quickly though.
490
00:19:34,116 --> 00:19:35,883
It's, like, you just started
talking to him.
491
00:19:35,885 --> 00:19:37,384
That's why I was, like,
at first it was a joke
492
00:19:37,386 --> 00:19:38,385
and now it's, like, serious.
493
00:19:38,387 --> 00:19:39,920
So we're all, like, "Ah."
494
00:19:39,922 --> 00:19:40,721
[Isa] Exactly. But I...
495
00:19:40,723 --> 00:19:41,755
Does it make you nervous?
496
00:19:41,757 --> 00:19:43,090
It does make me nervous.
497
00:19:43,092 --> 00:19:44,925
I wake up every day
and I'm, like,
498
00:19:44,927 --> 00:19:46,427
how did I get into this?
499
00:19:46,429 --> 00:19:49,163
So have you told
that your parents yet?
500
00:19:50,098 --> 00:19:51,265
[Isa] No.
501
00:19:51,267 --> 00:19:53,300
You know, Dominican moms
love to judge.
502
00:19:53,302 --> 00:19:56,170
They'll just be, like,
are you on drugs?
503
00:19:56,172 --> 00:19:58,606
Is the bar that low for you?
504
00:19:58,608 --> 00:20:01,942
His tattoo on his chest
says heartless felon.
505
00:20:01,944 --> 00:20:03,377
Oh.
506
00:20:03,379 --> 00:20:04,478
- [Isa] Yeah.
- Okay.
507
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,946
I feel...
508
00:20:05,948 --> 00:20:08,082
It's so much sometimes.
509
00:20:08,084 --> 00:20:10,184
I know that I shouldn't worry
about what others say
510
00:20:10,186 --> 00:20:12,853
because it is my life,
but sometimes I do worry
511
00:20:12,855 --> 00:20:14,855
and I'm, like,
this is not normal.
512
00:20:14,857 --> 00:20:16,957
Obviously,
there's, like, reservations
513
00:20:16,959 --> 00:20:18,192
because you don't know
anything about him.
514
00:20:18,194 --> 00:20:19,360
[Isa] Yeah.
515
00:20:19,362 --> 00:20:20,694
You only know what he tells you.
516
00:20:22,764 --> 00:20:26,100
[upbeat music playing]
517
00:20:26,102 --> 00:20:27,501
[Brey] Today, we're going
to the barber shop
518
00:20:27,503 --> 00:20:30,004
and me and my dad
are gonna get a cut.
519
00:20:30,006 --> 00:20:32,306
- [Dexter] Hey.
- [man] What's up, fellas?
520
00:20:32,308 --> 00:20:33,607
Haven't seen you guys
in a long time.
521
00:20:33,609 --> 00:20:34,708
- Yeah.
- [man] What's up man?
522
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:36,343
[Dexter] Yeah. Good.
523
00:20:36,345 --> 00:20:37,378
[Brey] I'm gonna tell him
524
00:20:37,380 --> 00:20:39,446
about this prison
inmate situation
525
00:20:39,448 --> 00:20:41,048
that's got going on.
526
00:20:43,285 --> 00:20:45,219
So, what we doing today,
getting a little off the top?
527
00:20:45,221 --> 00:20:47,888
Oh, yeah.
A little off the top. Yeah.
528
00:20:47,890 --> 00:20:49,290
Just shave it up,
you know, real good
529
00:20:49,292 --> 00:20:51,859
and trim up
my beard a little bit.
530
00:20:51,861 --> 00:20:54,094
I'm really nervous
on how my dad's gonna react
531
00:20:54,096 --> 00:20:56,196
but this is something
I wanna go through with.
532
00:20:58,967 --> 00:21:01,235
Got something interesting
to tell you.
533
00:21:01,237 --> 00:21:03,937
Recently, I've been,
um, talking to Chelsea.
534
00:21:03,939 --> 00:21:05,439
She has this, uh,
535
00:21:05,441 --> 00:21:06,974
little business going on
536
00:21:06,976 --> 00:21:08,842
where she does matchmaking.
537
00:21:08,844 --> 00:21:10,077
[Dexter speaking]
538
00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:12,012
It's, like, I guess
you could say that.
539
00:21:12,014 --> 00:21:13,514
- Yeah?
- [Brey] Yeah.
540
00:21:14,883 --> 00:21:16,383
Yeah. Kind of, like,
a little dating app.
541
00:21:16,385 --> 00:21:19,620
But here's the thing.
542
00:21:22,057 --> 00:21:24,491
I'm finding someone
that's locked up.
543
00:21:27,329 --> 00:21:29,430
Hold up, man.
544
00:21:29,432 --> 00:21:31,432
When you say locked up,
you mean, like, in prison?
545
00:21:31,434 --> 00:21:33,267
Incarcerated. Yeah.
546
00:21:34,169 --> 00:21:36,437
What the [bleep]
are you thinking, man?
547
00:21:36,439 --> 00:21:39,239
Have you bumped
your head or something?
548
00:21:44,412 --> 00:21:46,146
[Dexter] Hold up, man.
549
00:21:47,949 --> 00:21:52,286
Bro, all these women here
in Panama City,
550
00:21:52,288 --> 00:21:55,222
and you wanna try
to find love in prison?
551
00:21:55,224 --> 00:21:57,124
I mean, why not?
552
00:21:57,126 --> 00:21:59,960
[Dexter] That's [bleep] don't
make no kind of sense, man.
553
00:21:59,962 --> 00:22:03,063
I mean, Brey has always
been the quiet,
554
00:22:03,065 --> 00:22:05,132
reserved and, you know, shy
555
00:22:05,134 --> 00:22:07,201
to say that, you know,
"Hey, I'm gonna date,
556
00:22:07,203 --> 00:22:08,402
you know, inmate, an inmate."
557
00:22:08,404 --> 00:22:10,838
I'm like, "Okay.
I wasn't ready for that."
558
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,240
When I was your age, man,
I would just go to a bar, man,
559
00:22:13,242 --> 00:22:15,609
and, you know,
if I saw someone I like,
560
00:22:15,611 --> 00:22:17,878
I just go up
and, you know, talk to 'em.
561
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,047
I just want to try a different
approach to it all.
562
00:22:20,049 --> 00:22:23,250
Yeah. Well, yeah,
girls being behind the bars.
563
00:22:23,252 --> 00:22:26,220
[laughter]
564
00:22:26,222 --> 00:22:28,355
Oh, yeah, it's gonna... it's
gonna be different, all right.
565
00:22:28,357 --> 00:22:29,923
[Brey]
It's gonna be different.
566
00:22:29,925 --> 00:22:31,925
I'm a very introvert person,
it's just, like,
567
00:22:31,927 --> 00:22:33,460
my dad's very social.
So, it's just, like,
568
00:22:33,462 --> 00:22:35,095
you may meet one in a bar.
569
00:22:35,097 --> 00:22:36,530
If I'm in the bar,
I don't even think
570
00:22:36,532 --> 00:22:37,431
I'm approaching anybody,
571
00:22:37,433 --> 00:22:38,899
uh, my game is a little off,
572
00:22:38,901 --> 00:22:40,834
I'll be honest with you,
my game is off.
573
00:22:40,836 --> 00:22:44,071
Man, me and Chelsea gonna have
to have a little talk, bro.
574
00:22:44,073 --> 00:22:46,340
Have an open mind,
open heart to it. So...
575
00:22:46,342 --> 00:22:49,209
Just don't get
no open chest wounds.
576
00:22:49,211 --> 00:22:51,712
That's all I got to say.
[laughs]
577
00:22:52,647 --> 00:22:55,582
[upbeat music playing]
578
00:22:55,584 --> 00:22:59,720
Hi. Um, usually at this time,
579
00:22:59,722 --> 00:23:02,089
Devin does call me.
580
00:23:02,857 --> 00:23:04,324
Today, he sent me an email.
581
00:23:04,326 --> 00:23:07,428
So I'm gonna read it
to you guys.
582
00:23:07,430 --> 00:23:09,530
He says, "My beautiful wife,"
583
00:23:09,532 --> 00:23:12,199
He calls me, his wife.
[laughs]
584
00:23:12,201 --> 00:23:13,801
"I hope you have a good day
at work
585
00:23:13,803 --> 00:23:16,503
just know your husband
is thinking about you."
586
00:23:17,505 --> 00:23:21,375
Obviously, he does know
that I really care about him.
587
00:23:21,377 --> 00:23:22,543
He wants me to speak to his mom.
588
00:23:22,545 --> 00:23:24,745
It's very important to him,
you know,
589
00:23:24,747 --> 00:23:26,380
because if we are
gonna be serious,
590
00:23:26,382 --> 00:23:28,482
he wants me to speak to her.
591
00:23:28,484 --> 00:23:30,717
Sometimes, I do wake up
with mixed feelings
592
00:23:30,719 --> 00:23:32,453
and I think to myself,
593
00:23:32,455 --> 00:23:34,288
"Wow, this is,
like, actually happening,
594
00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:36,490
like, am I actually, like,
595
00:23:36,492 --> 00:23:40,360
really talking to an inmate,
is this a dream?"
596
00:23:40,362 --> 00:23:43,363
I never knew that it would
escalate to this.
597
00:23:44,165 --> 00:23:46,233
I'm...
Every day I just wake up
598
00:23:46,235 --> 00:23:48,969
and I'm just a little bit
confused about everything.
599
00:23:48,971 --> 00:23:52,940
So, good night, guys
and I will keep you updated.
600
00:23:52,942 --> 00:23:56,276
[upbeat music playing]
601
00:23:57,745 --> 00:23:58,879
- [Chelsea] Hey.
- [Brey] Hey.
602
00:23:58,881 --> 00:24:01,348
[Chelsea]
How's it going? Welcome.
603
00:24:01,350 --> 00:24:04,918
Brey is like my second son.
604
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,020
He has been best friends
605
00:24:07,022 --> 00:24:10,891
with my son Jacob
since they were little.
606
00:24:10,893 --> 00:24:13,994
He's a common fixture
in my household.
607
00:24:13,996 --> 00:24:15,929
He knows where
all my groceries go.
608
00:24:15,931 --> 00:24:17,331
That's how close he is.
609
00:24:17,333 --> 00:24:18,899
He's a great kid,
610
00:24:18,901 --> 00:24:22,636
and I am excited
to match him up with somebody.
611
00:24:22,638 --> 00:24:25,138
- Good to see you.
- [Dexter] We got a lot of talking to do.
612
00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:28,208
- [Chelsea] Yeah, we do.
- My son dating a inmate.
613
00:24:28,210 --> 00:24:30,410
I'm still, you know,
in shock about it,
614
00:24:30,412 --> 00:24:32,212
so I don't really know
what to expect
615
00:24:32,214 --> 00:24:34,381
and I've got questions of my own
616
00:24:34,383 --> 00:24:36,750
I wanna ask directly to Chelsea.
617
00:24:36,752 --> 00:24:38,285
- This is my son.
- I know.
618
00:24:38,287 --> 00:24:40,954
Okay. He's a grown man,
granted,
619
00:24:40,956 --> 00:24:43,223
but when he laid it on me
that he was trying
620
00:24:43,225 --> 00:24:45,225
to get matched up
with somebody from prison,
621
00:24:45,227 --> 00:24:46,727
my antennas went up.
622
00:24:46,729 --> 00:24:48,729
How do we know that
they're not just using this
623
00:24:48,731 --> 00:24:51,198
as an opportunity
to, uh, scam somebody?
624
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,966
[Chelsea]
You got to be smart about it.
625
00:24:52,968 --> 00:24:55,235
People can also scam me
on the street.
626
00:24:55,237 --> 00:24:57,404
[Dexter]
Brey is kind of a, uh,
627
00:24:57,406 --> 00:24:59,039
hip nerd type, you know, of guy.
628
00:24:59,041 --> 00:25:00,407
He's rather shy.
629
00:25:00,409 --> 00:25:02,476
I guess my biggest concern is,
630
00:25:02,478 --> 00:25:04,978
you know, some of the women
may have,
631
00:25:04,980 --> 00:25:07,648
um, experienced, you know,
a little more than him,
632
00:25:07,650 --> 00:25:09,750
may try to take advantage
of him.
633
00:25:09,752 --> 00:25:11,585
So what are, like,
some of the red flags
634
00:25:11,587 --> 00:25:13,987
- to look for?
- [Chelsea] Well, some of the red flags
635
00:25:13,989 --> 00:25:17,424
to look for is if she starts off
636
00:25:17,426 --> 00:25:18,859
right off the bat
after a couple of weeks
637
00:25:18,861 --> 00:25:20,327
that she loves you.
638
00:25:20,329 --> 00:25:22,429
- Okay.
- [Chelsea] I mean, you don't love me, right?
639
00:25:22,431 --> 00:25:24,298
- [Dexter] No. No.
- You don't know me.
640
00:25:24,300 --> 00:25:25,732
How you love me in two weeks?
641
00:25:25,734 --> 00:25:28,468
Or if she says send me money,
642
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:30,837
- uh, it's never, um...
- [Dexter] Right. To put on the commissary and stuff.
643
00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:32,172
- [Chelsea] Mmm-hmm.
- Yeah.
644
00:25:32,174 --> 00:25:33,707
You just don't want
to give too much...
645
00:25:33,709 --> 00:25:35,342
[Dexter]
Give too much too soon.
646
00:25:35,344 --> 00:25:37,511
- [Chelsea] You got it.
- [Brey] You know, it could go bad,
647
00:25:37,513 --> 00:25:39,513
but this is a big opportunity
for me to, like,
648
00:25:39,515 --> 00:25:40,981
you know, step out of my shell.
649
00:25:40,983 --> 00:25:42,883
The other relationships
that I've had,
650
00:25:42,885 --> 00:25:44,451
they haven't really been
all that great.
651
00:25:44,453 --> 00:25:46,119
I just wanna try
something different.
652
00:25:46,121 --> 00:25:48,121
I can't guarantee
that I'll be there
653
00:25:48,123 --> 00:25:50,123
to help break through it
when he's, you know,
654
00:25:50,125 --> 00:25:52,326
going through the process
of learning about them.
655
00:25:52,328 --> 00:25:55,729
[Dexter] I would never imagine
in a million years
656
00:25:55,731 --> 00:25:59,366
that my son would be getting
matched up with an inmate,
657
00:25:59,368 --> 00:26:01,468
um, I'm still trying
to digest it.
658
00:26:01,470 --> 00:26:03,437
This is my life.
I really could care less
659
00:26:03,439 --> 00:26:05,505
when anybody else
has to say about it, so,
660
00:26:05,507 --> 00:26:07,040
you know, if I wanna go
through with it,
661
00:26:07,042 --> 00:26:08,408
I'mma go through with it.
662
00:26:08,410 --> 00:26:10,978
[Chelsea] Okay. First,
this is Cynthia.
663
00:26:10,980 --> 00:26:13,480
[Brey] Cynthia. All right.
664
00:26:13,482 --> 00:26:15,515
- She's from Idaho?
- [Chelsea] Yeah.
665
00:26:15,517 --> 00:26:17,250
[Brey] Crime. Theft,
666
00:26:17,252 --> 00:26:18,986
possession
of controlled substance.
667
00:26:18,988 --> 00:26:20,454
Nice, wholesome girl, huh?
668
00:26:20,456 --> 00:26:22,489
- Yeah.
- Age...
669
00:26:22,491 --> 00:26:23,924
- Chill out, pop, chill out.
- Okay.
670
00:26:23,926 --> 00:26:25,192
[Brey] "I was your typical
671
00:26:25,194 --> 00:26:26,927
All-American
high school student.
672
00:26:26,929 --> 00:26:28,228
I went straight to college
673
00:26:28,230 --> 00:26:29,963
and that's when I met
a boyfriend
674
00:26:29,965 --> 00:26:31,231
who introduced me to drugs
675
00:26:31,233 --> 00:26:33,634
and my life went
all downhill from there.
676
00:26:34,702 --> 00:26:37,104
I come to prison,
I get clean and sober
677
00:26:37,106 --> 00:26:39,072
and I find myself again.
678
00:26:39,074 --> 00:26:40,707
I like to make people laugh.
679
00:26:40,709 --> 00:26:43,877
I'm always playing pranks
on people, even cops.
680
00:26:43,879 --> 00:26:46,313
I take really good care
of myself.
681
00:26:46,315 --> 00:26:48,348
I work out every day.
I love sports.
682
00:26:48,350 --> 00:26:51,151
I plan on getting out,
reconnect with my family,
683
00:26:51,153 --> 00:26:52,319
going back to college,
684
00:26:52,321 --> 00:26:53,920
and finding a real future
685
00:26:53,922 --> 00:26:55,889
away from addiction."
686
00:26:55,891 --> 00:26:58,458
I like Cynthia,
she seems pretty cool.
687
00:26:58,460 --> 00:27:00,160
She, to me, I feel like
688
00:27:00,162 --> 00:27:02,295
she's really not gonna fall back
689
00:27:02,297 --> 00:27:03,964
into the same pattern.
690
00:27:03,966 --> 00:27:06,299
[Dexter] She's actually just,
like, your girl next door,
691
00:27:06,301 --> 00:27:08,201
you know, with charges.
692
00:27:08,203 --> 00:27:09,736
[laughs]
693
00:27:11,172 --> 00:27:14,041
Okay. So now,
694
00:27:14,043 --> 00:27:16,109
- Arlette.
- [Brey] Arlette.
695
00:27:16,111 --> 00:27:18,712
- [Dexter] Oh, she's pretty.
- [Brey] Okay. Yeah. She cute.
696
00:27:18,714 --> 00:27:20,347
I see, you know, got the glasses
697
00:27:20,349 --> 00:27:23,250
- and everything, like me.
- [Chelsea] Mm-hmm.
698
00:27:23,252 --> 00:27:25,318
[Brey] She's 22.
699
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,854
Loves movies, dancing,
and being adventurous.
700
00:27:27,856 --> 00:27:29,356
Crimes,
701
00:27:29,358 --> 00:27:31,958
Aggravated battery, grand theft,
702
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,860
grand theft by possession.
703
00:27:33,862 --> 00:27:35,529
- Ooh, boy.
- Got some charges.
704
00:27:35,531 --> 00:27:37,130
Yeah. Yeah. I already know
you're looking at me like,
705
00:27:37,132 --> 00:27:38,365
they are incarcerated.
706
00:27:38,367 --> 00:27:40,000
Well, them was some
is real charges, bro.
707
00:27:40,002 --> 00:27:41,935
- I mean, they're in prison but it just, like...
- [Dexter] Yeah.
708
00:27:41,937 --> 00:27:43,503
Those are stuff
that they've done in the past.
709
00:27:43,505 --> 00:27:45,405
I'mma be the good influence.
You know what I'm saying?
710
00:27:45,407 --> 00:27:47,174
"I was born in the Philippines.
711
00:27:47,176 --> 00:27:49,342
My center wasn't family.
It was friends.
712
00:27:49,344 --> 00:27:52,746
Clothes, drugs, booze
became my daily routine.
713
00:27:52,748 --> 00:27:54,748
I'm 22-years-old.
714
00:27:54,750 --> 00:27:57,317
I'm willing to change
and go back to the right path.
715
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,153
I really want
a guy who's adventurous,
716
00:28:00,155 --> 00:28:03,590
who can communicate with me,
and someday have a big family.
717
00:28:04,759 --> 00:28:07,327
I hate all those
and I literally can't stand
718
00:28:07,329 --> 00:28:10,330
when someone isn't taking care
of their own hygiene.
719
00:28:10,332 --> 00:28:12,632
Like, let's smell sexy together
720
00:28:12,634 --> 00:28:14,301
and redefine the perfect duo."
721
00:28:14,303 --> 00:28:16,069
Okay.
722
00:28:16,071 --> 00:28:17,738
I'm excited to start like
talking to 'em and everything.
723
00:28:17,740 --> 00:28:20,073
I'm an introvert.
So, it is very hard to like,
724
00:28:20,075 --> 00:28:21,808
just come up and like start
a conversation.
725
00:28:21,810 --> 00:28:23,110
I don't know.
It's been a minute
726
00:28:23,112 --> 00:28:24,745
since I had
this one-on-one with somebody.
727
00:28:24,747 --> 00:28:26,313
So it's like, I'm excited.
728
00:28:26,315 --> 00:28:28,348
- I actually like Arlette.
- Okay.
729
00:28:28,350 --> 00:28:29,816
The fact that she said
she likes to dance
730
00:28:29,818 --> 00:28:31,384
- that really caught me.
- [Chelsea] I knew you.
731
00:28:31,386 --> 00:28:34,454
As soon as I saw that
I was like, "Mmm-hmm.
732
00:28:34,456 --> 00:28:36,256
Yeah, that's all Brey.
Right there."
733
00:28:36,258 --> 00:28:37,557
You got to have the good music
and everything.
734
00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:39,059
Got to get the move in, yeah.
735
00:28:39,061 --> 00:28:40,127
What about you, Dex?
736
00:28:40,129 --> 00:28:41,728
How you feeling?
737
00:28:41,730 --> 00:28:44,331
I'm beginning
to understand it more now.
738
00:28:44,333 --> 00:28:46,366
Once you put a face
to the letters,
739
00:28:46,368 --> 00:28:47,834
it's kind of a game changer
740
00:28:47,836 --> 00:28:50,103
because now
it's not the unknown,
741
00:28:50,105 --> 00:28:51,404
you know, scaring
the hell out of me.
742
00:28:51,406 --> 00:28:53,206
I do empathize.
743
00:28:53,208 --> 00:28:56,209
Everybody makes mistakes.
And sometimes you got to pay,
744
00:28:56,211 --> 00:28:58,245
um, the penalty
for your mistakes.
745
00:28:58,247 --> 00:28:59,746
Well...
746
00:29:00,448 --> 00:29:02,983
why don't we start searching
for you?
747
00:29:02,985 --> 00:29:05,519
Just keep...
To get some options going.
748
00:29:05,521 --> 00:29:08,021
You're not dating anybody?
You're single?
749
00:29:08,023 --> 00:29:10,857
[Dexter] Uh, I don't know.
Uh...
750
00:29:10,859 --> 00:29:12,759
You got to do this, man.
751
00:29:12,761 --> 00:29:14,795
You got... You got to find
you some love out here.
752
00:29:14,797 --> 00:29:17,731
You're, how old?
Fifty something,
753
00:29:17,733 --> 00:29:19,900
- you got to find something.
- I'm in my late 50s.
754
00:29:19,902 --> 00:29:20,967
Okay. Late 50s. Yeah.
755
00:29:20,969 --> 00:29:22,936
Listen, you wouldn't believe
756
00:29:22,938 --> 00:29:24,137
there's all ages and all types.
757
00:29:24,139 --> 00:29:26,039
Mmm-hmm.
758
00:29:26,041 --> 00:29:27,474
Let me think about it.
759
00:29:29,610 --> 00:29:31,211
Don't knock it until you try it.
760
00:29:34,916 --> 00:29:36,883
[upbeat music playing]
761
00:29:36,885 --> 00:29:39,486
[Isa] So today,
I'm doing a video chat
762
00:29:39,488 --> 00:29:42,489
with Devin's mom
for the very first time.
763
00:29:42,491 --> 00:29:44,291
I'm excited
to actually talk to her.
764
00:29:44,293 --> 00:29:47,427
You know, Devin talks
about his mom all the time,
765
00:29:47,429 --> 00:29:49,930
but I am nervous, of course.
766
00:29:49,932 --> 00:29:53,066
- Hi, how are you?
- I'm good.
767
00:29:53,068 --> 00:29:55,035
This is like a first for me.
768
00:29:55,037 --> 00:29:56,903
I really thought
this was a catfish.
769
00:29:56,905 --> 00:29:58,338
-No.
-[Elaine] I told... I was like,
770
00:29:58,340 --> 00:30:01,208
"Oh, my God. What if some
guy pops up on the screen?"
771
00:30:02,176 --> 00:30:04,411
And it's...
I mean, what do I say?
772
00:30:04,413 --> 00:30:06,213
I'm still in shock.
773
00:30:06,215 --> 00:30:10,250
It's like your total opposite
of what I expected.
774
00:30:10,252 --> 00:30:12,419
What do you...
What did you expect me like?
775
00:30:12,421 --> 00:30:13,720
I don't know.
776
00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:17,390
Not so much the innocent look.
777
00:30:17,392 --> 00:30:19,025
[laughs]
778
00:30:19,027 --> 00:30:20,126
I will tell you this.
779
00:30:20,128 --> 00:30:22,062
I didn't grow up, um,
780
00:30:22,064 --> 00:30:23,763
I don't know how to say this.
781
00:30:23,765 --> 00:30:25,298
I know how to say it in Spanish
782
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:27,067
because my mom always
says it to me. She's like...
783
00:30:27,069 --> 00:30:28,835
[in Spanish]
784
00:30:28,837 --> 00:30:31,972
And I wasn't born
in a golden crib.
785
00:30:31,974 --> 00:30:34,241
I have... All my life
I've had to work.
786
00:30:34,243 --> 00:30:36,409
Well, you should be really
proud of yourself for that.
787
00:30:36,411 --> 00:30:39,246
You seem to be a very pretty
well together girl.
788
00:30:39,248 --> 00:30:42,482
And it's just...
789
00:30:42,484 --> 00:30:44,384
Do you know
what you're getting into?
790
00:30:44,386 --> 00:30:45,986
Like before,
791
00:30:45,988 --> 00:30:50,123
uh, you know Devin got his time,
792
00:30:51,125 --> 00:30:52,492
he probably
wouldn't have been somebody
793
00:30:52,494 --> 00:30:54,060
you would have spoke to.
794
00:30:54,062 --> 00:30:55,095
- Mmm-hmm.
- [Elaine] You know?
795
00:30:55,097 --> 00:30:56,796
Because Devin was wild.
796
00:30:56,798 --> 00:30:59,065
- [Isa] Yeah, he told me that.
- You know, he's just...
797
00:30:59,067 --> 00:31:01,368
But, like, I feel like our...
My conversations
798
00:31:01,370 --> 00:31:02,969
with Devin are very, like deep.
799
00:31:02,971 --> 00:31:04,604
You know, he has a lot of goals.
800
00:31:04,606 --> 00:31:06,373
He's very ambitious.
I see.
801
00:31:06,375 --> 00:31:08,275
And you know,
he's always telling me
802
00:31:08,277 --> 00:31:10,577
how like prison
has changed him. You know?
803
00:31:11,245 --> 00:31:13,613
I just don't want you to...
804
00:31:14,282 --> 00:31:16,049
- [Isa] Get involved?
- Get hurt.
805
00:31:16,051 --> 00:31:18,919
Get wrapped up.
And, you know,
806
00:31:18,921 --> 00:31:20,520
people talk different
when they're in jail.
807
00:31:20,522 --> 00:31:23,089
And Devin is a sweet talker.
808
00:31:23,091 --> 00:31:24,557
- [Elaine] Yeah, I know.
- You know?
809
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:25,959
I know he's not an easy man.
810
00:31:25,961 --> 00:31:28,028
I know people look at him at,
811
00:31:28,030 --> 00:31:30,363
not easy, but he's such
a mush. [laughs]
812
00:31:30,365 --> 00:31:31,998
[Elaine]
Look, he is.
813
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,401
He's a big,
big teddy bear on the inside.
814
00:31:34,403 --> 00:31:36,336
But, you know,
815
00:31:36,338 --> 00:31:39,773
um, he's still gonna have
to come home
816
00:31:39,775 --> 00:31:41,341
and face reality.
817
00:31:41,343 --> 00:31:43,476
You know, about things
that have happened.
818
00:31:43,478 --> 00:31:45,712
- [Isa] Mmm-hmm.
- [Elaine] Which will be hard
819
00:31:45,714 --> 00:31:47,347
for all of us all over again.
820
00:31:47,349 --> 00:31:49,549
But, you know, we're here.
821
00:31:49,551 --> 00:31:52,819
We're gonna be here
for Devin, always.
822
00:31:52,821 --> 00:31:56,122
For Elaine, I do
sympathize with her a lot.
823
00:31:56,124 --> 00:31:59,759
Devin first went
to prison at age 14.
824
00:31:59,761 --> 00:32:01,494
If I were in her shoes,
I'd be crying too.
825
00:32:01,496 --> 00:32:03,897
You know,
I don't want my son in jail.
826
00:32:03,899 --> 00:32:07,734
I don't want my son missing
out on important holidays.
827
00:32:07,736 --> 00:32:10,136
It must be really
frustrating for her.
828
00:32:10,138 --> 00:32:11,504
I'm so sorry, Elaine.
829
00:32:11,506 --> 00:32:13,573
- That's okay.
- If I could only give you a hug.
830
00:32:13,575 --> 00:32:15,275
I'm... I really am sorry.
831
00:32:15,277 --> 00:32:17,077
You know,
832
00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:19,312
I don't know if that's
something you think about, like,
833
00:32:20,214 --> 00:32:22,549
but he's got a lot
of proving to do,
834
00:32:22,551 --> 00:32:24,484
you know, to everybody.
835
00:32:24,486 --> 00:32:27,053
[Isa] I'm definitely worried
about Devin falling back
836
00:32:27,055 --> 00:32:28,321
into his old ways.
837
00:32:28,323 --> 00:32:30,123
You know, I don't know
what I'm gonna do
838
00:32:30,125 --> 00:32:31,958
if he goes back to prison.
839
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,728
Look, I don't wanna do
this whole thing again.
840
00:32:34,730 --> 00:32:37,764
I would really,
really love to help him.
841
00:32:38,566 --> 00:32:40,367
You seem like you would.
842
00:32:40,369 --> 00:32:43,236
Um, it's just a matter of...
843
00:32:43,238 --> 00:32:46,139
if Devin wants...
Really wants it.
844
00:32:50,011 --> 00:32:53,113
[upbeat music playing]
845
00:32:58,185 --> 00:32:59,552
Hmm.
846
00:33:02,089 --> 00:33:05,992
So, I'm about to have
a video visit with Manuel.
847
00:33:05,994 --> 00:33:09,295
And we haven't talked
in a few days.
848
00:33:09,297 --> 00:33:12,198
I'm slightly worried
that something's going on
849
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,567
with Manuel or maybe
something's going on
850
00:33:14,569 --> 00:33:16,770
at his prison.
Maybe he's hurt.
851
00:33:16,772 --> 00:33:18,304
I'm not... I'm not sure.
852
00:33:18,306 --> 00:33:21,241
Um, because it's not like him
to not respond.
853
00:33:21,243 --> 00:33:23,543
I guess, we're gonna see
if he shows up
854
00:33:23,545 --> 00:33:25,979
because he's late. So...
855
00:33:25,981 --> 00:33:29,149
[dramatic music playing]
856
00:33:31,218 --> 00:33:32,385
[Chelsea]
I'm starting to think
857
00:33:32,387 --> 00:33:33,953
that Jonathan was right,
858
00:33:33,955 --> 00:33:35,555
that I'm getting ghosted
859
00:33:35,557 --> 00:33:38,558
and it feels really crappy,
860
00:33:39,994 --> 00:33:43,563
I'm just a few minutes left,
and then it'll be over.
861
00:33:43,565 --> 00:33:46,399
But he's not showing up
to the video visit,
862
00:33:46,401 --> 00:33:48,435
it looks like.
863
00:33:48,437 --> 00:33:50,270
I can't believe
that Manuel stood me up.
864
00:33:50,272 --> 00:33:52,605
You know, I haven't talked
to him in a while.
865
00:33:52,607 --> 00:33:54,407
And then I was
really looking forward
866
00:33:54,409 --> 00:33:56,476
to seeing his face and nothing.
867
00:34:04,085 --> 00:34:06,319
- [Ashley] Hey, babe.
- Hey, how are you?
868
00:34:06,321 --> 00:34:08,488
- [Ashley speaking]
- Good.
869
00:34:08,490 --> 00:34:11,191
So something's happened.
870
00:34:11,193 --> 00:34:13,159
[Ashley] What's wrong?
871
00:34:13,161 --> 00:34:14,794
- Hmm?
- Um,
872
00:34:14,796 --> 00:34:18,298
I went to do
my video visit with Manuel.
873
00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:20,366
- [Ashley] Mmm-hmm.
- And he never showed up.
874
00:34:20,368 --> 00:34:23,436
[Ashley speaking]
875
00:34:24,572 --> 00:34:25,572
Nothing.
876
00:34:26,307 --> 00:34:28,975
[Ashley speaking]
877
00:34:28,977 --> 00:34:30,276
Yeah, at first, I was worried.
878
00:34:30,278 --> 00:34:31,344
But now I'm not worried
879
00:34:31,346 --> 00:34:32,712
because I feel like
880
00:34:33,614 --> 00:34:36,049
if something bad had happened,
881
00:34:36,051 --> 00:34:38,118
I think that one of his friends
882
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,419
in there would've messaged me.
883
00:34:39,421 --> 00:34:41,888
Now, I'm just
kind of like, pissed.
884
00:34:41,890 --> 00:34:45,058
[Ashley speaking]
885
00:34:52,032 --> 00:34:54,367
He's in prison and needy.
886
00:34:54,369 --> 00:34:57,537
[Ashley speaking]
887
00:35:02,309 --> 00:35:04,310
I'm not real sure what to think.
888
00:35:05,546 --> 00:35:07,714
I can't make plans to go get him
889
00:35:07,716 --> 00:35:10,049
if he's not even talking to me.
890
00:35:10,484 --> 00:35:11,417
I'm angry,
891
00:35:11,419 --> 00:35:13,553
I'm sad, and I'm confused.
892
00:35:20,094 --> 00:35:21,227
[Dexter] I told Brey
I would think
893
00:35:21,229 --> 00:35:23,396
about this whole prison
dating thing
894
00:35:23,398 --> 00:35:26,399
and I can't believe
I'm really saying this
895
00:35:26,401 --> 00:35:29,402
but maybe Brey is right.
896
00:35:29,404 --> 00:35:31,871
Maybe I should get
back out there.
897
00:35:31,873 --> 00:35:35,241
I haven't dated
in a really long time.
898
00:35:36,143 --> 00:35:38,745
And the last few girlfriends,
899
00:35:38,747 --> 00:35:40,980
they were disastrous.
900
00:35:40,982 --> 00:35:42,215
Maybe dating an inmate
901
00:35:42,217 --> 00:35:44,717
is, um, what I need to do.
902
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,921
So, that she can have
903
00:35:47,923 --> 00:35:49,389
the opportunity to know me
904
00:35:49,391 --> 00:35:50,890
and I can get the opportunity
to know her,
905
00:35:50,892 --> 00:35:52,192
no fancy dinners.
906
00:35:52,194 --> 00:35:53,826
Maybe that's what I need.
907
00:35:53,828 --> 00:35:55,862
An honest
to goodness conversation
908
00:35:55,864 --> 00:35:57,897
and someone getting
to know me for me
909
00:35:57,899 --> 00:35:59,399
and me getting to know them.
910
00:36:01,936 --> 00:36:05,138
[upbeat music playing]
911
00:36:09,276 --> 00:36:12,178
[Dexter] I'm meeting
my best friend Charmaine.
912
00:36:12,180 --> 00:36:13,346
-There it is.
-Thank you. I appreciate that.
913
00:36:13,348 --> 00:36:14,747
Yes, yes, I know.
914
00:36:15,849 --> 00:36:17,250
Charmaine probably knows me
915
00:36:17,252 --> 00:36:18,718
better than any other woman
916
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:20,887
other than my ex-wife.
917
00:36:20,889 --> 00:36:22,422
She knows where
my bodies are buried.
918
00:36:22,424 --> 00:36:25,091
So, I'd really wanna get
her take on the matchmaking.
919
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,360
Well, as you know,
920
00:36:27,362 --> 00:36:29,062
I haven't had much luck,
921
00:36:29,064 --> 00:36:30,730
you know, in the dating arena.
922
00:36:30,732 --> 00:36:32,732
- Right.
- [Dexter] Um, you're familiar
923
00:36:32,734 --> 00:36:34,467
with my last relationship.
924
00:36:34,469 --> 00:36:36,035
Indeed.
925
00:36:36,037 --> 00:36:39,205
So, I decided to, um,
926
00:36:39,207 --> 00:36:41,207
try something
a little bit different.
927
00:36:42,042 --> 00:36:43,309
Different like what?
928
00:36:43,311 --> 00:36:44,510
[Dexter] Okay.
929
00:36:45,946 --> 00:36:48,448
I enlisted the help
of a matchmaker.
930
00:36:48,450 --> 00:36:50,516
Oh, okay.
931
00:36:50,518 --> 00:36:54,087
And, um, there's a little more
to the story than...
932
00:36:54,089 --> 00:36:56,055
Just spit it out, man.
933
00:36:56,057 --> 00:36:57,056
- [Dexter] All right.
- Spit it out.
934
00:36:57,058 --> 00:36:58,324
[Dexter] All right, you my girl.
935
00:36:58,326 --> 00:37:00,093
- Yeah, right.
- [Dexter] So, we can talk about everything.
936
00:37:00,095 --> 00:37:01,361
- Right. Everything.
- [Dexter] Okay.
937
00:37:01,363 --> 00:37:05,164
The matchmaker matches people
938
00:37:05,366 --> 00:37:06,733
like me
939
00:37:07,534 --> 00:37:10,136
with women from prison.
940
00:37:13,507 --> 00:37:14,607
[Charmaine] Women from prison?
941
00:37:14,609 --> 00:37:15,441
Yeah.
942
00:37:15,443 --> 00:37:18,077
[laughing]
943
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:19,679
[Dexter] Why are you laughing?
944
00:37:19,681 --> 00:37:21,347
You can't be serious.
945
00:37:23,183 --> 00:37:25,985
Dexter is telling me that he's
getting matched with a inmate.
946
00:37:26,587 --> 00:37:28,187
I really...
I really don't know
947
00:37:28,189 --> 00:37:29,722
what to think at this point.
948
00:37:29,724 --> 00:37:31,958
- Are you kidding me?
- [Dexter] I'm dead serious.
949
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,160
Oh, my goodness.
Y-ou know, you know,
950
00:37:34,162 --> 00:37:35,561
I've tried everything else.
951
00:37:35,563 --> 00:37:38,264
- Yeah.
- It's not been working.
952
00:37:38,266 --> 00:37:39,999
Come on, Dexter.
But from prison though?
953
00:37:40,001 --> 00:37:41,200
[Dexter] Yes, why not?
954
00:37:41,202 --> 00:37:43,002
- What's the worst...
- What you mean, why...
955
00:37:43,004 --> 00:37:44,504
- What's the worst?
- I know, you ain't just saying,
956
00:37:44,506 --> 00:37:46,105
"What's the worst
that can happen?"
957
00:37:46,107 --> 00:37:47,240
- [Dexter] Mmm-hmm.
- What you mean,
958
00:37:47,242 --> 00:37:48,775
what's the worst
that can happen?
959
00:37:48,777 --> 00:37:50,710
- Hey.
- You can be found in a trunk of a car,
960
00:37:50,712 --> 00:37:53,146
you can be in the middle
of an embezzlement scam,
961
00:37:53,148 --> 00:37:55,882
you can be found
on the back of a milk carton.
962
00:37:55,884 --> 00:37:57,517
Like come on now. You know,
I'm a little smarter than that.
963
00:37:57,519 --> 00:37:59,319
-What do you mean smart?
-[Dexter] Okay. I'm a little smart.
964
00:37:59,321 --> 00:38:01,154
I know what to look for.
965
00:38:01,156 --> 00:38:04,090
Based upon my last
failed relationship.
966
00:38:04,092 --> 00:38:05,525
My last relationship
967
00:38:05,527 --> 00:38:08,127
I pretty much gave
everything I had
968
00:38:08,129 --> 00:38:10,163
but when my money was gone
969
00:38:10,165 --> 00:38:11,831
and she was too.
970
00:38:11,833 --> 00:38:14,133
And I've been
rebuilding ever since.
971
00:38:14,135 --> 00:38:15,902
I think that I've learned
from the past,
972
00:38:15,904 --> 00:38:17,403
my eyes are open
973
00:38:17,405 --> 00:38:20,006
and I'm ready to try
something different.
974
00:38:20,008 --> 00:38:23,976
And you don't get
any different than this.
975
00:38:23,978 --> 00:38:25,511
[Charmaine] And what do you
have in common with an inmate?
976
00:38:25,513 --> 00:38:27,513
That's what I'm gonna find out.
977
00:38:27,515 --> 00:38:29,415
I mean, it's not like
I'm just saying,
978
00:38:29,417 --> 00:38:31,150
all right, I'm gonna go ahead
979
00:38:31,152 --> 00:38:34,120
and I'm gonna find somebody
and this is it.
980
00:38:34,122 --> 00:38:36,222
This is just a area that
I haven't looked at before.
981
00:38:36,224 --> 00:38:38,024
[Charmaine laughs]
I can't believe you.
982
00:38:38,026 --> 00:38:39,425
[Dexter] What's hard
to believe about it?
983
00:38:39,427 --> 00:38:41,861
What you mean what's hard
to believe on that, Dex?
984
00:38:41,863 --> 00:38:44,263
So, I'm not getting any younger.
985
00:38:44,265 --> 00:38:45,832
[Charmaine] I understand that.
986
00:38:45,834 --> 00:38:47,266
-And...
-[Charmaine] I understand that.
987
00:38:47,268 --> 00:38:50,002
I've been in this game
a long time.
988
00:38:50,004 --> 00:38:51,738
I feel like I've given
989
00:38:51,740 --> 00:38:53,439
all the other ways a chance
990
00:38:53,441 --> 00:38:54,407
and it just hasn't worked.
991
00:38:54,409 --> 00:38:55,808
I think you're giving up on you.
992
00:38:55,810 --> 00:38:57,910
I really think
that this is a very bad idea.
993
00:38:57,912 --> 00:39:00,012
You know, I knew Dexter's
last girlfriend, you know,
994
00:39:00,014 --> 00:39:03,349
and, um, I felt like
he's being taken advantage of
995
00:39:03,351 --> 00:39:04,550
because Dexter's
a nice guy. You know,
996
00:39:04,552 --> 00:39:06,018
he jumped into it.
997
00:39:06,020 --> 00:39:07,787
And he gave his last penny,
998
00:39:07,789 --> 00:39:10,089
you know, and she just
left him high and dry.
999
00:39:10,091 --> 00:39:12,859
I do not want that
to happen to him again.
1000
00:39:12,861 --> 00:39:15,495
I mean, what is it with you?
1001
00:39:15,497 --> 00:39:16,729
This is the lowest right here.
1002
00:39:21,101 --> 00:39:22,869
[upbeat music playing]
1003
00:39:22,871 --> 00:39:24,036
[Olivia] Hmm,
1004
00:39:24,038 --> 00:39:25,271
are you read for a little nap?
1005
00:39:25,273 --> 00:39:27,340
[Chelsea] Hmm. I love it
when you do my lashes.
1006
00:39:27,342 --> 00:39:29,208
- It's so relaxing. Yeah.
- [Olivia] Yeah. Good.
1007
00:39:29,210 --> 00:39:33,212
It's been days and I still
haven't heard from Manuel.
1008
00:39:33,214 --> 00:39:36,082
I've been feeling kind
of down and depressed lately.
1009
00:39:36,084 --> 00:39:38,451
So, my friend
Olivia's going to do
1010
00:39:38,453 --> 00:39:40,386
my lashes for me.
1011
00:39:40,388 --> 00:39:42,722
A little self-care
1012
00:39:42,724 --> 00:39:44,657
always makes a girl feel better.
1013
00:39:45,359 --> 00:39:46,959
I appreciate you coming.
1014
00:39:46,961 --> 00:39:48,127
Yeah, of course.
1015
00:39:48,129 --> 00:39:49,862
Got so much going on
here lately.
1016
00:39:49,864 --> 00:39:50,997
[Olivia] I bet.
1017
00:39:52,399 --> 00:39:54,233
Oh, do you mind if I take this?
1018
00:39:54,235 --> 00:39:55,568
[Olivia] Go ahead.
1019
00:39:58,405 --> 00:39:59,939
[Chelsea] Hey, what's up?
1020
00:39:59,941 --> 00:40:01,474
Hey, babe. What you up to?
1021
00:40:01,476 --> 00:40:04,177
Um, my friend, Olivia, she's
getting ready to do my lashes.
1022
00:40:04,179 --> 00:40:05,578
- Hello.
- [Chelsea] Just say,
1023
00:40:05,580 --> 00:40:06,946
- hey back there.
- [Ashley] Hello.
1024
00:40:06,948 --> 00:40:08,147
What's new?
1025
00:40:08,149 --> 00:40:09,348
[Ashley] Um...
1026
00:40:10,284 --> 00:40:12,185
So I did something.
1027
00:40:13,387 --> 00:40:15,054
- You all right?
- [Ashley] And promise me
1028
00:40:15,056 --> 00:40:16,189
you won't get mad.
1029
00:40:16,990 --> 00:40:18,157
[laughs] That's always scary.
1030
00:40:18,159 --> 00:40:21,260
So I made an account, um,
1031
00:40:21,262 --> 00:40:23,463
for those like, you know,
to write an inmate.
1032
00:40:23,465 --> 00:40:24,530
- Mmm-hmm.
- [Ashley] Um, the ones
1033
00:40:24,532 --> 00:40:26,199
that you're telling me about.
1034
00:40:26,201 --> 00:40:29,135
And I decided
to make a fake profile
1035
00:40:29,937 --> 00:40:32,271
to basically see if men will...
1036
00:40:32,273 --> 00:40:34,974
Would answer to the fake profile
1037
00:40:34,976 --> 00:40:36,309
that I made.
1038
00:40:37,244 --> 00:40:38,945
- And guess what?
- [Chelsea] Okay.
1039
00:40:38,947 --> 00:40:42,081
[tense music playing]
1040
00:40:44,318 --> 00:40:46,953
[Chelsea speaking]
1041
00:40:46,955 --> 00:40:49,489
There's something
about the bad boy in prison
1042
00:40:49,491 --> 00:40:51,023
that I am attracted to.
1043
00:40:51,025 --> 00:40:52,492
Oh, my God.
1044
00:40:52,494 --> 00:40:53,893
[woman] I just can't wait
for him
1045
00:40:53,895 --> 00:40:55,595
to walk out of those doors.
1046
00:40:56,597 --> 00:40:58,164
- So, I'm Arlette.
- [Brey] I never would've
1047
00:40:58,166 --> 00:41:00,433
thought in a million years
I'd be talking to someone
1048
00:41:00,435 --> 00:41:02,034
in prison so cool like her.
1049
00:41:02,036 --> 00:41:03,870
- [man] Hello! Hello!
- [woman screaming]
1050
00:41:03,872 --> 00:41:05,438
[woman]
People think I'm crazy.
1051
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:06,973
But Bryce is my soul mate.
1052
00:41:06,975 --> 00:41:09,308
[woman] I wouldn't fly
to another state
1053
00:41:09,310 --> 00:41:11,711
to meet a complete stranger
getting out of prison.
1054
00:41:11,713 --> 00:41:13,112
[Jonathan] You got something
on your face,
1055
00:41:13,114 --> 00:41:15,081
it says stupid.
1056
00:41:15,083 --> 00:41:16,549
Do you know that's where
you got in trouble.
1057
00:41:16,551 --> 00:41:17,950
Why would you even go
back there?
1058
00:41:17,952 --> 00:41:20,219
And on top of that,
you're drinking.
1059
00:41:20,221 --> 00:41:22,955
I did have a few beers. So
I kind of lost track of time.
1060
00:41:22,957 --> 00:41:26,259
I just feel like you going
back to like your old ways.
1061
00:41:26,261 --> 00:41:27,360
[Dexter] What would be
the first thing
1062
00:41:27,362 --> 00:41:29,529
you would want
to do when we meet?
1063
00:41:29,531 --> 00:41:32,532
I want to experience
to go into a live NBA game.
1064
00:41:32,534 --> 00:41:34,000
- Right.
- [woman] I'm sure
1065
00:41:34,002 --> 00:41:35,134
it's beautiful in New Orleans.
1066
00:41:35,136 --> 00:41:36,969
Sounds like money,
money, money to me,
1067
00:41:36,971 --> 00:41:38,851
if you ask me, that's the sign
of a gold digger.
1068
00:41:40,107 --> 00:41:42,041
You're about to graduate soon
and he's about to get out
1069
00:41:42,043 --> 00:41:44,410
of prison like at what point
do you say like,
1070
00:41:44,412 --> 00:41:46,612
I don't know if this is
the right decision?
1071
00:41:52,753 --> 00:41:54,120
[woman]
Me, and Bryce, and mom,
1072
00:41:54,122 --> 00:41:55,555
we've been having
a merry-go-round.
1073
00:41:55,557 --> 00:41:57,456
Sometimes I feel like
I'm fighting
1074
00:41:57,458 --> 00:41:59,158
for a spot in Bryce's life.
1075
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,361
[Chelsea]
He's disrespected me twice
1076
00:42:03,897 --> 00:42:06,165
in less than two weeks.
1077
00:42:06,167 --> 00:42:07,833
[woman]
Our connection is super deep
1078
00:42:07,835 --> 00:42:09,902
because we've tooken the time
1079
00:42:09,904 --> 00:42:12,204
to get to know each other
mentally and emotionally.
1080
00:42:12,206 --> 00:42:15,841
And he better not mess up
our plans for the future.
1081
00:42:15,843 --> 00:42:19,412
These women are a little bit
more dangerous than we know.
1082
00:42:19,414 --> 00:42:21,614
Don't let these curls fool you.
1083
00:42:21,616 --> 00:42:25,484
[woman speaking]
1084
00:42:26,286 --> 00:42:27,286
What?
