Back with the Ex (2018) s01e06 Episode Script

[narrator] Back with the Ex.
Jeremy and Meg
have arrived in South Africa.
[Jeremy] Ooh.
[Meg laughs]
[narrator] This will be the first time
they've traveled together.
[Jeremy] This trip to Africa is, like,
make-or-break for me and Meg.
[both laughing]
This is it, I think.
[Meg] Everything's green.
[Jeremy] The last time
Meg and I were together,
toward the end of the relationship,
I left and moved to Europe for two years.
And then Jeremy came back.
Oh, my God, lion!
Don't do that.
We started seeing each other again
for a month or two,
and then he left again.
We arrived at the luxury camp,
and it was stunning.
What a place.
Oh, my goodness. It's so cool in here.
-[Jeremy] Oh, my God.
-It is so good.
[Meg] Being in a different setting
and a different atmosphere,
yeah, maybe it will be different.
[Jeremy] My God.
Holy moly. Look at the view.
Get out of town.
-[Jeremy sighs]
-[laughs]
[Jeremy] Welcome to South Africa!
Me and Meg are really hitting it off here.
We're really connecting.
Cheers.
[Meg chuckles]
[Jeremy] We haven't had
a fight since Sydney.
[Meg] I feel really good here.
I feel really peaceful.
I feel like me and you
are in a good place right now.
-Yeah, it's really good.
-Good.
[Meg] I don't want to give up this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I hope we don't fight. I don't want to.
I just want it to be amazing.
[narrator] Peter and Diane,
who met 28 years ago,
have landed in Paris.
Look at the locks.
[narrator] They're taking the opportunity
to see if they're compatible
while discovering the city of love.
Paris is just blowing me away.
I mean, it was 40 years since I was here.
And just to spend it with Diane,
well, it's a dream come true.
-[Diane sighs]
-Oh, how good is this?
-It's lovely.
-Honestly, Paris couldn't get any better.
[chuckles] It's amazing.
[Diane] Being in Paris,
I have to figure out
if this is a relationship
that I could have for the rest of my life.
-[sighing]
-[Peter] It's a huge structure, isn't it?
We're coming up to the Eiffel Tower!
Oh, my God! Ah!
I want the relationship
with Peter so much,
but the reality is,
Peter and I live half the planet apart,
and I'm wondering, "Where would we live?
What would we do for work?
How do we make it work?"
[Diane] This feels nice.
It's magical and romantic.
[Peter] Well, it's so much better
just being here with you.
-Hmm.
-This makes it extra special, doesn't it?
[Peter] Very soon, we're gonna be
back home in our respective countries,
and I'm feeling like I want
to express my commitment to her.
[Diane gasps] Look! The swans.
It's a sign.
Do you know swans mate for life?
-[Peter] Oh, look at this.
-Look!
We're not gonna live our lives a series
of one-night stands from here on.
That's not what I want.
-What a romantic thing to be doing.
-Well Yeah, well, I do--
-[Diane] You're full of surprises.
-I do think of everything. I try to.
Of course, it's gotta be French champagne.
I don't always give you enough credit.
-Right now, I'm giving you lots of credit.
-Thank you, darling.
-Cheer-- Ah!
-Ah
[Diane] The biggest fear I have
is that we end up in limbo life,
that we don't make a commitment
towards one another
and we part ways halfway around the world.
Darling, here's to us in the city of love.
-I can't imagine anywhere else
-Mmm.
I'd rather be right now.
Me either.
-Than with you.
-[Peter] To us.
[glasses clink]
[narrator]
After separating three years ago,
high school sweethearts Kate and Cam
are spending time together in the Canadian
alpine resort town of Whistler.
They have four days to discover
if they can recapture
their romantic chemistry,
but there's still lingering hurt
from their breakup.
[Cam] I'll always be worried
about being hurt again.
Can I get over the fact that she cheated?
[Kate] I'm so excited to be going
on a holiday with Cam.
I've never been to Canada.
I've never seen the snow.
This is gonna be a really good opportunity
to work on us
and see if the spark
is still there, and
I mean, without anyone else's opinion.
We're by ourselves here.
There's no one else to judge us,
so it's all on us now.
[chuckles] Wow.
[Cam] Holy smokes.
-Look at that view.
-[laughs]
[Kate] Oh, my gosh. Look at that.
You can see the snow falling
and everything.
Kate, it's a lake. It's a frozen lake.
-All of that.
-[Kate laughs]
-[Cam] You've got to be kidding me.
-It is, isn't it?
[Cam] I've never seen this before, ever.
Check it out.
-[Kate laughs] Sweet!
-That's awesome! Look how big it is.
-[Cam laughs]
-[sighs] Little bit nicer than our houses.
-Especially yours.
-Bed's better than mine.
I knew it.
I knew you were going to say that.
-Cheeky, cheeky.
-The bed's a bit nicer.
Cheating on Cam is the biggest regret
I've had in my entire life.
I know that we are perfect for each other,
but Cam would really need to
forgive and forget.
[Cam] It is honestly the most
magical place I've ever been to.
I've never seen
such a beautiful place in my life.
[Kate] It's like we're in,
like, a fairy tale.
[Cam] I really hope it brings out
the inner closeness that we used to have,
and I just want us to have a lot of fun.
-Don't you just want to dive in there?
-Yeah, I do. [laughs]
'Cause when we have fun,
that's just us and it works.
-One, two, three.
-[Kate] Oh!
-[Cam grunts]
-Now what?
-[both laughing]
-I feel like a cream puff in this.
[Cam] I'm stuck!
[Kate] That is the worst snow angel ever!
[laughs]
-[Kate screams]
-[laughs] Oh, shit!
It's an avalanche. This is awesome.
[Cam] I feel so incredibly close with her.
Like, we just feel like
we are best friends again,
And it's been such a long time
since I've had this sort
of connection with anybody.
And I'm honestly loving
every minute of it.
[Kate] This is like the best day ever.
Honestly, I haven't had so much fun
in such a long time.
-This is the bit where he comes to life.
-[laughs]
-I hope so. Rupert, welcome to the world.
-[Kate chuckles] Whoo!
Wait, he needs my gloves.
We just had an awesome date.
It doesn't get much better than this.
So I'm feeling pretty good about Cam.
I think we're getting along really well
and we're having heaps of fun,
so, yeah, nothing's going wrong so far.
-[Cam] Go, team.
-Whoo. Go, team.
-[Cam chuckles]
-[screams]
[narrator]
Before parting ways six years ago,
a holiday in New York was the highlight
in Erik and Lauren's
on-again and off-again relationship.
Lauren still has her guard up
after a resentful breakup.
[Lauren] Over the six years,
Erik broke up with me six times.
I had given him 110%,
and by the end, I just switched off.
[narrator] So Erik has four days
to prove he's changed
before they make their final decisions.
[Lauren] I think the relationship between
Erik and I is at a really good point.
We're really reconnecting,
and I do feel my guard coming down.
-Look at the view!
-[Erik] Oh, wow!
Oh, my God! Look! Look what you can see.
The Empire State Building.
-[Erik] After you.
-Very fresh.
Stepping out onto the balcony,
I actually found my inner child.
Hello, New York!
And I just realized in this moment
that it's taken me ten years to get
to this moment of romance with Erik.
Something I only ever dreamed of.
Oh, my goodness. Wow. This is very fancy.
[Erik] This shower
That shower is, like, bigger than
my whole bathroom!
Got, like, double sinks.
-[Erik] His and hers?
-Yeah.
-So that means we share one room?
-Hmm
-[Erik] "Hmm, hmm"
-Look at the mirrors.
-[laughs] That's a no.
-This is really fancy. It's really pretty.
So if we're not going to share one room,
that must mean that's my room.
-[Lauren] This must be your room.
-Oh.
[Lauren] I would love to be able
to share those moments with Erik
and feel comfortable to share a bed
with him and really be romantic.
-[both] two, three
-[Lauren chuckles]
[Erik] Where are you going?
Where are you going?
[Lauren] I might take a shower.
-And we'll crack open a bottle of red.
-Come on.
-[Lauren] No, it's fine.
-Help me off.
[Erik] I'm pretty sure you guys
can see me doing the cheeky guy thing,
and she's just not responding
or reacting to it. She's just boom.
-Cheers to you.
-Cheers to many more great days.
Good. Well, I hope we can continue
to enjoy ourselves while we're still here
-and when we return back home as well.
-I hope so, too.
So where do you see us
moving on from here?
I do like where it's going,
but at the same time,
I don't want to feel pressured.
And you're not pressuring me.
But I don't want you to be
disappointed as well.
Are you happy for me to just be ready
when I'm ready, not force anything?
I'd rather you be wanting
rather than you thinking
that you're trying to please me or
Yeah, the sake of it.
Because that was the old me.
I used to do things to please you,
and I didn't want to.
-Yeah.
-Me now would never do
anything for anyone just to please them
if I'm not comfortable with it,
and, of course, I want to make you happy,
but I'm very, very guarded.
-I know that.
-And I don't want to be hurt again.
In terms of being intimate
and getting a lot closer,
that may take months and months
for me to feel comfortable
with that side of things again.
[Erik] Like, seriously, if something
doesn't happen here in New York,
maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Maybe it's a little bit crushing. Maybe
Um Maybe we were
just meant to be friends.
I just think, as time goes on,
like, we're really getting
a lot of the issues out of the way
and we're getting to know
each other again,
and I'm really enjoying it.
[Erik] What a day.
Don't you love
the hustle and bustle of this?
[narrator] In New York,
Erik is pulling out all stops
to show former girlfriend Lauren
his caring and romantic side.
[Erik] New York City, Central Park.
We should go for a ride.
-I've always wanted to go on one.
-Let's do it.
-Like, this is like a dream come true.
-Well, come on.
[Lauren] Oh, my gosh!
[Erik] The horse and carriage ride
was actually something
that was a dream of hers to do,
especially from the first time
we came to New York.
-Rug up.
-Rug up.
So I thought I'd make her dreams
become reality.
This is awesome.
This is so exciting. Look at the city.
[Erik] It's like out of the movies
and crap.
[Lauren] Your hands cold?
[Erik] I don't know.
You feel them. You tell me.
Holding hands was the first time
that Lauren was just comfortable doing it.
I tried a few times in the past,
and she was quick to, sort of, throw
my hand away. So it was pretty cool.
-[Lauren] This is just perfect.
-[both chuckling]
So you can see yourself
getting married here?
Oh, yeah.
Erik did bring up marriage,
which was surprising,
and it was nice to hear coming from him.
Normal guys would probably run,
but she was opening up,
she was comfortable,
she was picking out spots
where she wanted to pose
for her wedding photos and things.
And it was great.
I think you'd make a beautiful bride.
I'm just really thankful
that we're starting to feel more relaxed.
-I've never felt this romantic with you.
-No?
Yeah, I'm really liking new, relaxed Erik.
Really? Don't worry,
I've got plenty more in store for you.
I don't think anything can top this,
so it would have to be pretty amazing.
I am starting to get
feelings back for Erik.
It's starting to feel like old times
together, but on a whole new level.
I'm just really starting to see
a lovely side to him
that I've been waiting to see forever.
I want to do more of the things
that you wanted to do.
[Lauren] I just feel like, you know,
we had to get all of the bad stuff
out of the way,
and we've done that, and now we can relax
and really tune into each other and
-And start fresh?
-Yeah.
And start clean?
[Lauren] I'm liking the way
this is going now.
[narrator] It's sunrise in South Africa
for Meg and Jeremy,
and they're both feeling optimistic
about rebuilding their future together.
[Meg] I mean, every day
is a new beginning,
and the worst thing to happen
while we're in South Africa
would be for us to fall back into
that pattern of arguments and fighting
and not wanting to be around each other.
But right now,
I kind of just want to go day by day
and enjoy each other
and enjoy the moment.
Is there a crocodile down here?
I can see him. Oh, my God.
-[Jeremy] Damn.
-[camera shutter clicks]
Does anyone else feel
like going for a swim?
Oh, my goodness, it's actually coming out.
That thing is huge. Wow.
Get out
Oh, my God. Look.
See, there's a little bubba.
Look at those little bubbas.
Oh, my goodness. Beautiful.
This is real. That's what it is.
Get out of town. Oh, my goodness.
I feel like crying.
[Jeremy] They do have
the biggest ears, eh?
-Big, floppy ears.
-[Meg] Mmm-hmm.
[softly] They can hear you.
-[both gasp]
-Oh, stop.
-You are an amazing creature.
-Hello there, Mr. Giraffe.
Oh, my God, look. Oh, my God.
Look at that.
[Jeremy] I love cheetahs,
and when they came around the car,
Meg sort of got scared.
-[chuckles]
-[breathing heavily]
[Meg] My heart started to race.
I'm thinking,
"Oh, shit, all it takes is one big swoop,
and they're going to drag me out
of that vehicle and I'm going to be gone."
Freaking hell.
[Jeremy] And the fact
that she sort of grabbed me
and sort of thought
that I could help her
Like, it was just nice to have Meg think
that I was there to protect her.
I think, today, me and Meg
have really connected,
and I'm feeling over the moon
about our relationship.
This is crazy. Just one great surprise
after another with this.
[Meg] This is insane.
We were coming down this road,
all of a sudden, you see a helicopter.
-Get out of town!
-[Jeremy grunts] Yes! Yes!
[Meg laughs]
[Jeremy] I just couldn't believe it.
Yes!
Wow, this is going to be awesome.
My God. It's taking off, Meg.
[Meg] It is amazing.
-[Jeremy] Look at the waterfall, Meg.
-[Meg] Holy moly.
We landed up on top of this mountain.
You can see over everything.
Wow. Look at this.
[Jeremy] This is beautiful!
So where do you think we're at,
at the moment? Truthful answer.
Truthful answer? Um
I'm enjoying my time with you,
and I enjoy being around you.
I don't know where we stand.
I don't. You're giving me mixed signals.
[Jeremy] I am giving her mixed signals,
I think. I don't know.
She's done a lot of things that have
really, really hurt me in the past.
So the last time me and Meg
were together properly,
she told me that she loved me.
I don't know. I didn't think
that I was ready to say that back,
so I sort of didn't say anything, but then
I sort of realized that I did love her.
So I went to her house
and I knocked on the door,
and, basically, I walked into Meg
and someone else that I knew together.
And it sort of broke my heart.
And, yeah, it's hard to get over.
Like, I went down there to tell her that
I loved her, and she's with someone else.
But at the moment, she doesn't think
that she's done anything wrong.
You told me you loved me.
Two weeks later, I come round
and you're with someone else.
[Meg] That is not how it happened.
-We weren't together.
-You ended up dating this guy.
[Meg] Ended up dating,
but not at that point.
[Jeremy] I want her to apologize
for seeing someone else
while I assumed she was still seeing me.
I wasn't seeing this person.
I wasn't doing anything
with him whatsoever.
I think that trust is very minimal
between me and Jeremy.
I try and move on with it,
and I try and tell you how I really feel.
But then you go
straight back to what it was.
I like you, Meg, all right?
but I don't want to be with someone
that doesn't want to be with me.
[Meg] I know I want Jeremy,
and I say that to him,
but he can definitely be a jealous
and insecure person at times.
I sat there,
and I talked with you last night,
and I told you you're the only person
I wanted to be with.
-And now we're sitting here and--
-You're the only person I want to be with.
-I don't I don't have time for it.
-But I don't like being with you.
Well, then, there you go.
You don't like being with me.
[Jeremy] After that I said
I'd never ever be with Meg again.
Like, I have real trust issues after that.
-I don't like this attitude.
-You're hurting my feelings.
I don't know how else to deal with it.
You're hurting my feelings.
There was no helping that situation.
He wasn't listening to me,
and I wasn't listening to him,
and we were just going to go
around and around.
[narrator] In New York, Erik and Lauren
are finally finding a connection
in the city that never sleeps.
-[Erik] Hi!
-[man] Hi. How are you?
Can we get two hot dogs
with everything on 'em, please?
[narrator] He's also hanging out
for their first kiss.
Lauren is just smiling the entire time.
She just seems to be opening up
and blossoming.
It's like a dream,
and I just don't want it to end.
Thank you.
New York is so romantic,
and I'm definitely feeling chemistry.
I'm just really feeling close to Erik,
and I can't be any happier.
Cheers to our first hot dog in New York!
-We didn't do it last time.
-That's right. We didn't do it last time.
She's actually dropped her guard heaps.
She's exactly like the girl
I knew and first dated.
Mmm! It's so good.
It's good to be able to be
back on track again
and have Lauren being her old self again.
-I'll come behind you.
-With my pretzel.
-[chuckles]
-[Erik] Ready?
[Lauren] This trip is definitely bringing
back those happy times.
Erik was always so great on holidays,
and he relaxes.
[both laughing]
It's him again, but in a better version.
I'm loving it. Thank you.
[Erik] There's got to be a kiss.
I'm hoping for a kiss.
That kiss is, like, my dream right now.
If the kiss gets landed on this holiday,
well, then that's just proof
that we have both started fresh
and we're looking at moving on from there.
-Spider face.
-[both laughing]
[Lauren] I'm just not there right now.
I am starting to feel it.
And, yeah, I think he deserves it.
Thank you. [chuckles]
It's always wonderful to wake up
next to Diane. Always.
-Oh, okay. Good morning.
-Morning.
[Peter] Being in Paris
and having the chance to just be together,
it's enabled us, I think,
to get very close.
So much more to see. The city of love.
It's a place to get closer and closer
and just figure out each other
and figure out
what we might want together.
We both realized that just the personal
compatibility between ourselves,
our lifestyles, after 28 years,
the things we like and don't like
had to be sorted before
the relationship could progress.
Both of us have been single
for a long time.
[Diane] Mmm-hmm.
We're both a little rusty, I guess,
and actually accommodating and allowing
someone else into our lives respectively.
The whole point of me reconnecting was to
see whether we could be together forever.
[Diane] I love that you're
in my life right now
and we're trying to figure it out.
It's still going to take tons of time,
tons of energy
and figuring out how we can cohabitate,
how we could possibly spend, you know,
day in, day out together.
There's so much to work out.
It's going to take effort.
It's going to take work.
And I think we're both up for it.
-Here we are, darling.
-Ooh, nice.
We have beautiful Paris
to figure it out in.
-I like me in bed being served.
-[both laugh]
[narrator] In Whistler, Canada,
Kate has decided
that actions rather than words
will show Cam that she's keen
to give their relationship another chance.
-[Kate] Wakey-wakey.
-Kate. Hey.
[Kate] I got you some breakfast.
-Did you?
-Yeah. I got us a feast.
And I got your eggs
just the way you like them. Yum.
[Cam] Thank you!
I can't believe you did this.
-That's crazy.
-I can be nice sometimes.
I think I just wanted to do
something nice for you,
show you that I appreciate you.
I mean, you're always surprising me
with little treats,
and, well, you always say
I'm not very good at it,
so I'm trying my best
to do something sweet.
No, I appreciate that.
[Kate] I'm not really good
at showing my feelings,
so this was a way for me to show him
just how much I want this to work
There you go.
and how much effort
I'm willing to put into this relationship.
-Oh, yeah.
-Do you want to eat the sausage?
-Mmm! [chirps]
-[chokes]
[gasps, chuckles]
[coughing]
Are you actually choking on the sausage?
Yeah, my romance is really failing.
[laughs]
I just wanted to do something like this
to show that I do have
a sweeter side when I try.
You're not, like, proposing
or anything, are you?
Oh, Cam, you just ruined it.
I actually have the ring ready.
[both laughing]
You just dropped maple syrup
all over yourself.
'Cause this is kinda awkward,
like, you sort of beat me to it.
Ah! [laughs]
-Pulls out the ring.
-[both laugh]
I don't know what I would do.
Probably just munch my bacon
and pretend I don't see it.
[Cam] Things are going
really well with us.
Thanks!
We just, we're really close at the moment.
You would do that, too.
Mmm, you taste like maple syrup.
[chuckles]
[narrator] What was supposed to be
a romantic picnic for Meg and Jeremy
ended once again in an argument
about their previous breakup.
We haven't spoken to each other yet.
-Meg, Meg, Meg.
-Hey.
[Jeremy] I just want to be able
to communicate with each other.
I want to tell Meg everything.
I want to be on the same page as her.
[sighs] I guess I'm just scared.
I'm scared that you're going to leave.
How am I physically meant
to let myself go and be with you,
when you just keep blocking me out?
I feel like we get one step in front
and then two steps back.
I'm still just doing the same things
I used to do. I'm still pushing her away.
Like, it's just a natural reaction.
It just happens.
I don't know how I'm meant to, like,
make you feel better about that.
[Jeremy] I just want you to want me.
[scoffs] But I do want you
and that's not good enough.
Because I think
I just don't believe that you do.
I don't know why.
I just find it very hard to believe.
I feel like I can't let myself like you,
because I'm going to get hurt.
I think you already do like me.
-I do.
-Yeah!
I don't want to fall
head over heels with you.
I can't help you.
I can't help you make that decision.
[Jeremy] I think maybe
we just need to give it time.
And I'll try not to push you away.
Do you actually want to be with me?
Yes. More than anything.
-Do you want to hug it out?
-Yes.
Okay. Come on. I'm so tired. I can't.
Oh, we're not done.
-Look at the picture of the horse.
-[both laughing]
[Peter] I'll get rid of those later.
[narrator]
Peter and Diane have been swept up
by the beauty and romance of Paris.
Bonjour! Can we get two chocolate eclairs?
[narrator] With one day left before
they make their decision,
there are still some relationship issues
that need resolution.
I've been dying to have a couple of these
macarons since we bought them.
I know. So how are you doing with us?
We know we've got feelings for each other.
But it's more than that,
if we're going to cohabitate.
All the big stuff, I think, is easy.
It's day to day life
that can kill the love.
It can kill the romance.
It's a lot to take in,
and I realize that
I don't always communicate
exactly what I'm thinking or feeling,
and that's taking practice,
having been alone for so long.
It's this battle and this compromise
of how do we communicate so that we both
still want to love each other?
I so don't want to be bossy.
I want you to take charge sometimes.
It's wonderful when you do.
I'm just not used to it.
But I really, really want to be the woman
that you would want in your life.
I want Peter to stand up
and be a strong man.
I don't want him to always
try to be perfect around me.
I don't want him to tiptoe around me
and worry that I'm going to blow up.
We're still learning to understand
and have the responsibility
of someone else we care about.
It's a two-way street,
and I guess we're still learning,
-feeling our way a bit there.
-Yeah.
Over the past few weeks,
it's become increasingly important,
I feel, that we do nip any of these
little differences in the bud,
and that's normal.
I'm so used to spending my days
telling everybody what to do, so
And I don't want to do that to you,
and I will do my best to try to change.
[narrator] Our couples are getting ready
for what will be the most important step
towards their futures together.
It will be their final dinner
and the last chance
to confront any old demons,
because tomorrow
they must make the decision
whether to give their relationships
a second chance or to call it quits.
Tonight, Erik has chosen
a Fifth Avenue restaurant,
where he'll try to convince Lauren
that he's the one for her.
[Lauren] Erik was very controlling
in our relationship.
He used to designate the times
I was allowed to see him
and spend time with him.
I definitely didn't feel
like I was one of Erik's priorities.
It's really important
that we both get on the same level,
and we really get out what's on our minds.
It's make-or-break for us.
[Erik] If Lauren's mindset doesn't change
in regards to me being genuine,
I'm not sure what hope we have.
But I'm not going to give up.
-Look at you.
-You look amazing.
You look gorgeous.
-Lovely dress on you.
-Thank you.
-How are you?
-I'm very good. How are you?
-Good.
-Wow.
[laughing] Wow. You had a shave?
I had a shave. I had a hot shave today.
It is really great to see Erik
just making the effort for me. It's
Yeah, I feel like he's really trying hard
to impress me, and it's working.
I do still feel you're holding back
some things.
Like, I feel that you aren't telling me
what's really on your mind.
I definitely am still trying
to get answers from Erik,
because I really need
him to know that I'm serious.
I'm not here to muck around.
I don't want a time waster,
and I'm sensing sometimes
he's not being his real self,
so I just need to reinforce it to him
that he just needs to bare all to me
and then we can move forward.
I mean, would you be fine
with moving in to my place
or would you expect me to move into yours?
Where would you want to live?
Um I don't know. That thought
hasn't really crossed my mind yet.
My thoughts have been laying with
Can this work? Can we have a successful
relationship as we once tried before?
Do you think you're ready to have
a relationship where
we are living together?
Because I've experienced that before,
and you haven't.
[Erik] Yeah.
How would you go, do you think,
with having me there all the time?
I mean, obviously,
it's a bit of a learning curve
and stuff like that, and I get that.
And I've experienced it from both sides.
Me living with you and vice versa.
I mean, I'm happy to come
and stay with you more often.
Would you be willing to do that soonish,
in the future, or
I mean, it's always there.
It's always been there,
available on the cards.
Whether I'd move in with you
or you move in with me
or we get a place together
and we try it out for a while
Okay.
I'm I'm happy to explore that with you.
I am feeling hopeful now.
Erik has been really honest,
and I am feeling a good vibe from him
at the moment.
I'm appreciating his responses,
and I'm feeling he's being genuine.
Still do have a massive decision to make,
but it's made it a lot clearer for me.
[narrator] Tonight, Meg and Jeremy will
enjoy their final dinner in South Africa
before making the difficult decision
about their future as a couple.
So Jeremy is making his ultimate sacrifice
to convince Meg that he is serious
about their future together.
I've decided to shave my head,
because it will impress Meg.
I'm not very happy about it,
but Meg thinks I look a lot better
with a shaved head.
[exhales heavily]
I'm so upset. [huffs]
I like my hair long.
I think I've just become
real attached to it,
and I just don't want to let it go.
Oh, my God.
If it'll make her happy, then anything
for that smile on Meg's face.
If she rejects me at the end of this,
I'm going to be pretty devastated.
Oh, my God.
I wouldn't be doing this
unless I really loved Meg.
[narrator] It's a romantic Canadian
winter's evening in Whistler,
and Kate and Cam are meeting
for their final dinner.
-[Kate] Hiya!
-Holy! Hello.
-[door closes]
-How are ya? Oh, you look very nice.
-You, too. How are you?
-Good, good, good.
Here. Take a seat.
-I'm just going to get this for you.
-Oh, thank you.
It's just the two of us,
so it's a perfect opportunity
to talk about some things
that have been on my mind.
I still get like weirdly jealous
when you talk to guys.
I've noticed that.
With the whole like jealousy thing,
do you think that it's something
that you're going to be able
to put to the side a little bit?
Let's say we go out
and some guy's chatting to you,
and I go, "I'm feeling uncomfortable,"
like
How are we going to fix that?
I don't want our relationship
to be defined by the cheating
or everything else
that happened in the past.
I don't want that at all. But I wonder
whether or not that's possible.
We broke up because of the cheating.
Kate was the one that cheated on me.
I don't know, to me,
it feels like it's not a problem.
I guess I need to see it
from your side of things,
but I don't know how
this is going to turn out.
-I don't want to get hurt.
-Have I ever hurt you?
Yes. Are you serious?
What? Because I didn't jump back into it?
She hurt me bad,
and there's just no way that I could
just jump back into something
so quick like that.
It was the worst time of my life.
You led me on for a year and a half
and made me absolutely fight for you,
knowing full well
that you didn't want a bar of me.
It's so unfair for her to think that.
I don't want to get to the end of this
and have you be all friendly to me
the entire way through
and then all of a sudden be like,
"Mmm, you know what? Nah."
Like So I guess I have
some walls up as well.
I'm just saying that's maybe why
I'm not coming across
as lovey and sweet
as what I would've hoped that I would.
I need him to trust me
if this is going to work.
Can we get through the past?
Is there going to be an option
to sort of not define our relationship
by what happened in the past?
Like, can we start fresh again?
I do want to be able to trust again,
but it's just not that easy.
If this doesn't work out,
then there's a real high chance
that I will lose the best thing
that ever happened to me.
Have you been in love
since you were with me?
No.
Good.
I was only ever in love once.
-Oh, yeah?
-Hmm.
Some ditzy blonde I met in high school.
[laughing]
Kate really was my first and only love.
You were definitely the first person
I ever fell in love with, that's for sure.
There's never been anyone
that's come close to you at all.
I mean, I asked you for a reason
to meet up again.
Yeah.
I obviously like you a lot, so Yeah.
Far out. Wake up, Cam.
Tonight has made me realize
that Kate is actually there for me,
but tomorrow we do have to decide
whether we actually want to
go 100% with this.
Oh. Well, here's to, um
Not being a jealous poo?
"A jealous poo"? [laughs]
[Meg] Tonight is our final night
in South Africa,
and we have had a bumpy ride.
The fights haven't been amazing.
But they've been a part of it,
and I'm glad that we've
got to do this together.
[Jeremy] It's our last night together
before we make a decision.
So I just want to open up my heart
and tell Meg how I feel,
and I just want to lay it
all down there for her,
so she understands where I'm coming from.
-Meg!
-Hello!
-You look amazing.
-So do you.
[Jeremy] So Meg hasn't seen
my new haircut.
It's going to be
a massive surprise to her.
Oh, how beautiful is all of this?
[Jeremy] I'm just hoping
for a real magical night.
I actually really like
what you're wearing.
Oh, get out
[both laughing]
You look amazing! You look really good.
I don't know why you
And this is what I wanted for so long.
He looks a hundred times better.
A million times better.
Yeah, you said you wanted it,
so I shaved it.
You look really handsome.
-I was so scared when I was shaving it.
-[laughing] Did you cry?
I wanted to cry.
You could tell he was so sad about it.
It's like he cut off his manhood,
and I felt sorry for him.
I just wanted to hug him.
I wanted to make him feel better,
but at the same time I was like, "Yes!"
[laughs]
I've had the best time.
It'd be so good if our lives
stayed like this forever.
Are you happy right now?
-Yeah, I am.
-Yeah?
I've been to like 40 countries
in the world,
and I reckon this time
I've spent in South Africa
has been one of the most funnest times.
-Is it 'cause I'm there?
-I think so.
I'm willing to put all my emotions
out there tonight.
I want Meg to know exactly how I feel.
-I just want to take this time
-Mmm?
to apologize to you.
[Meg] For what?
For everything that I've ever done
in the past,
for everything that I've said to you.
I just want to say sorry.
And I think, after all of this,
I think we can start fresh.
I guess I'm sorry
for being an asshole to Meg,
leaving her and going to another country
and then coming back and leaving again.
I think that's brave. I think that's
big of you to want to apologize.
I obviously appreciate Jeremy.
I appreciate the fact
that he's thought about this
and he knows what he's done.
I think that's really big of him.
I think that shows a lot of growth.
I think that everybody does silly things
and everybody makes mistakes.
I don't know what kind of closure
you want from it.
Do you need closure?
-Do I need closure?
-Yeah, do you need closure?
Maybe I just need you to acknowledge
that what you've done to me
in the past was wrong.
To move on with my life?
-Mmm.
-[laughs]
[Jeremy] You can't say sorry?
You can't admit what you did was wrong?
I don't think I did anything wrong.
You're upset that I started
seeing someone else?
Yes.
'Cause you didn't tell me
that you loved me?
Yes.
-And you treated me like shit?
-Yes.
And you're upset that I wanted
to move on with my life?
-A little bit.
-[laughs]
Rich.
I don't know what you want an apology for.
Maybe I didn't tell you I loved you
because I didn't believe
that you loved me.
-And then two weeks later--
-Uh-huh, do you know what?
We're not going over this.
If you want to make this a fight
and you want to make up excuses
as to why you do what you do
I just want to move past it.
I don't want to make up excuses.
-I don't want to--
-So move past it, Jeremy. Don't ask me--
-You can't even apologize.
-I don't have anything to apologize for.
I did nothing wrong.
I did nothing wrong whatsoever.
I don't see that I did anything wrong.
I can see that you are physically hurt.
I think you lost something that
you thought was going to stick around.
Yeah, my trust in you.
[chuckles]
I like you more than anything, Meg.
Why can't you just acknowledge
that it hurt me and just
Okay.
Just forget I said anything.
I made it seem
I just wanted to apologize to you
for everything that I've done.
You don't have to do anything.
You do whatever makes you feel happy.
[Meg] I don't see how
I have to apologize for that,
because he was the one
that chose to let me go.
[Jeremy] It makes me angry
that in this one time
where I'm trying
to open up my heart to her,
that she can't even acknowledge
that she's done anything at all wrong.
I'm so sick of fighting.
I'm so sick of arguing.
I'm so sick of feeling
like I'm going back around in a circle.
[wine bottle clatters]
I didn't come around here tonight to fight
with you about about little things.
Whatever.
This one conversation,
you, like, completely changed
my mind about you, eh?
And it's sad.
You just make me so unhappy sometimes.
I can't apologize.
I won't.
I don't want you to cry.
Anyway, I'm out. I'm done.
This decision tomorrow
is going to be good, isn't it?
-It's going to be great.
-[chuckles]
Every day for the last three weeks,
you've done the same thing.
Got up and run away.
Every time it gets tough,
you get up and run away.
I'm just over Meg.
It's going to be the same shit forever.
It's the same, over and over.
I don't know if I love her.
I just wanted it to be different.
I haven't been upset
in the last five years,
and then, all of a sudden,
the last three weeks
like, I'm the one crying about shit.
I'm done. I'm finished.
[Meg] I don't know
what's going to happen tomorrow.
I'm gonna struggle.
I'm gonna struggle with the decision to
Do we keep fighting?
Do we
Do we keep trying to
to move on?
I do think at the moment it's looking
looking pretty done.
