00:00:00This is an example of a video
00:00:28Salucci organization produced. In order to convince people they were buying beachfront
00:00:32timeshare units as a state agent played by actors gave live walkthroughs. You think I'm at the beach
00:00:40but I'm not. This is virtual reality. The video was fake and we have proof.
00:00:46I went undercover as an agent. Didn't they do this story already?
00:01:00Twice they finally gave it to me to do it right. I guess they're running out of conspiracy theories
00:01:06to debunk. Um I don't have any notes for the closing segment. Probably because you didn't
00:01:13make any notes. You're the best. We're back in five four three two and
00:01:29And another scam bites the dust. The holiday homes were a con and that's fake checked. And if you are
00:01:36a victim of the Lucci organization visit the website I created where you can share your story
00:01:41and find useful resources. I'm so glad you created that website. I like to go above and
00:01:46beyond for the people. And you've been doing that for years with everyone.
00:01:54Why they have to break up. They had such great on-screen chemistry and now it's just hard to
00:02:01watch. And thank you Kennedy for proving that time spent with you is never just fun at the beach. Oh
00:02:08at least I didn't run scared of the turtle like you did the last time we went on vacation.
00:02:14On that note remember always fake check. And we're out.
00:02:23Good job crew. If you'll excuse us for a minute I need to talk with Kennedy and Bo.
00:02:28Mindy what's up? That was horrible. I'm sorry I thought I was bringing something new to the
00:02:37segment. Not your segment. The show is not the problem. It's the two of you. Mindy the stories
00:02:44are. The chemistry isn't there anymore. Oh that must be Kennedy's issue. I mean I have chemistry
00:02:48with everyone. And that was our problem. And disappearing faster than the chemistry are the
00:02:54viewers. We have to replace one of you. Oh Kennedy I'm so sorry. What makes you think it
00:03:02would be me? I actually work. They're not gonna fire me. I have seniority. And I was hosting back
00:03:08when you were just a production assistant. Show me your best work. Whichever of you produces the
00:03:14better segment keeps their job. The other produce. Well may the best man win. Your best work.
00:03:34He stole my heart and broke it. I gave him my best stories. I am not letting him take my job
00:03:40away from me too. I told you he wasn't any good. Sienna you loved Bo. Okay like only for the first
00:03:47couple years. I had so many plans for our future. He just threw them away. Is that chocolate chip?
00:03:54Of course. So you need a great story right? No I need an amazing story. What about something
00:04:08everyone thought was extinct? Like love? Love's not extinct. That's where you're wrong. Love is
00:04:14extinct. Listen my birding group was all on Twitter today. Get it? Twitter. What a hoot.
00:04:22There's this picture going around about an exotic parrot that hasn't been seen in
00:04:26like over 40 years. Okay. They thought it was extinct but now everyone's like maybe it's still
00:04:33alive. Sienna how many genuine photos have I proven to be a fake over the years? Starting
00:04:40with the one with dad? I know it's your job and you're really good at it but some of the photos
00:04:47have been real right? Rarely. Occasionally. I mean look at this picture. Isn't it gorgeous?
00:04:55How can you tell? It's so blurry. Okay so they weren't great photographers.
00:05:04Our discovery of the week is the extinct Polson tribrook parrot.
00:05:13If this online photo is real we need to head straight to St Lucia right? Totally but the
00:05:18original photo has already been taken down. I mean that's gotta prove it's legit right?
00:05:23It hasn't been seen in what half a century? It has to be the Polson parrot. It has the famous
00:05:28fuchsia heart shape on its chest feathers. Well the St Lucia Conservation Center are asking for
00:05:34donations so I hope you all share and donate. Gotta be a scam. But it's getting traction.
00:05:41Three million views. And it's only been a few days. I really think this is your story. Proving
00:05:47an international viral photo is a fraud. Used by some wildlife center to tug at people's heart
00:05:55strings. Get into their wallets. You know that could be a story that could get both the show.
00:06:02Extinction extortion exposed. That's the title. I really thought we were going with more of an
00:06:08endearing heartstrings grabbing story of a beautiful bird brought back from extinction.
00:06:14That's ridiculous. But people really want to buy into this. I mean there's
00:06:18already a website where you can buy parrot t-shirts, mugs, phone covers.
00:06:28I'm gonna report on that conservation center and prove that parrot
00:06:32is extinct. Or maybe you'll see that things thought extinct can come back to life.
00:06:36St Lucia, here I come.
00:07:07Okay so we still have a couple spots to fill for tomorrow's tour. Are you encouraging guests to...
00:07:23What? Jake? Hello Earth to Jake. Okay you know what I was gonna tell you. I'm just gonna have
00:07:28Ray take over the tours for a while because I think he'll really help with reviews. Oh hi. Hi.
00:07:34Hi there. Are you checking in? Kennedy Webber. Welcome to Coconut Bay Beach Resort and Spa,
00:07:39Miss Webber. I'm Anne Miners, the reservations manager and wedding coordinator. And this is
00:07:43Jake Harper, our guest experience rep. What brings you to the island? I'm a reporter doing a story
00:07:48about the Polson Tribe of Parrot, the bird that's been in the news. Yeah we've had a few guests ask
00:07:53about that. So have you found anything out yet? Do you know where it is? I was gonna ask you the
00:07:57same thing. Know who posted the photo online? No. No it's a it's a mystery but I think they've
00:08:05uh they've taken it down right? Yes which is even more suspicious. Suspicious? So uh Kennedy right
00:08:13we have the best island tour for you and I think you're really gonna love it. It's of the catamarans,
00:08:18the pitons, the jungle. Our new tour guide is very knowledgeable. Sounds like a quick way to get
00:08:24footage of the island. Sign me up. Perfect. Okay now before you get settled in let me show you a
00:08:31room. And I'll follow you straight to your room with your bags. But you know not look not in a
00:08:36stalker's way. I'm just I'm gonna no I'm saying I'm gonna I'm gonna get the bags and follow you
00:08:40and I'm gonna drop them off. I'm not gonna like watch you do your thing the whole day and uh
00:08:45just I'm gonna I'll get your bags.
00:08:56Rosemary?
00:09:01Yeah I'm here. No I haven't found the iguana yet. But Rosemary's not gonna hurt anyone.
00:09:08Yes I know about their guest complaints but she just likes meeting new people. And through there
00:09:13we have our gym and sanctuary spa. I don't think I'll have time for the spa. Oh we have amazing
00:09:20new local organic treatments like our cocoa scrub grown on a plantation right here in the island.
00:09:26I don't expect to be here long. Well if you need anything at all I'll be here. Yeah well
00:09:31please if you hear anything about the parrot let me know. Of course. Yeah.
00:10:02Ah your chivalry is dead.
00:10:10I cannot believe this. We will get your dress dry cleaned immediately.
00:10:14It's fine. Really it's fine. It's not your fault. It's his. Uh yeah sorry about that.
00:10:23Look I'm sorry you fell in the pool but you're the one who scared Rosemary.
00:10:28Rosemary? That dragon? It's not a dragon. It's a Saint Lucian iguana. Okay Kennedy please how can
00:10:36we make this up to you? It's fine. Really fine. Just my favorite shoes shrinking by the second.
00:10:42Um you know I just gotta get back to work. So if you would excuse me. Thank you.
00:10:48What was that for? You are never going to get a date if you keep acting like that.
00:10:53Look I had to save Rosemary. You left her in a pool.
00:11:07Okay I guess I am better with animals than I am with women. Well you sure couldn't be any worse.
00:11:14Mm-hmm well you sure couldn't be any worse.
00:11:33Hello?
00:11:39Hello?
00:11:40Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? You! Dragon guy. Wasn't expecting to see you again so soon.
00:11:58I was hoping to talk to someone about the Polson tribe of parrot. Okay. Well it's about the photo
00:12:04that's been in the news. Oh it's not real. Oh you think it's a fake too? It's not a picture of the
00:12:10Polson tribe. Okay I had a couple of questions. Nope no interview. The center has been getting
00:12:23a lot of money since the news went viral. We had nothing to do with that photo. It's quite
00:12:28convenient you've had a record amount of donations. Oh so what you're saying is that these animals
00:12:32don't deserve people's goodwill to help them? No no that's not what I'm saying. Look people saw
00:12:38the photo and want to help out other rare animals on the island. Like Max here. He's a endemic parrot
00:12:45that I rescued as a chick. So we'll use those donations to help out his rehabilitation because
00:12:50he can't go back into the wild. That's lovely. You know I didn't mean this center. It's you know
00:12:56it's just some organizations aren't the charitable operations they present online. Right so do you
00:13:01have all the evidence you need now? Are we done? Do you agree there's no way this parrot could have
00:13:07possibly been rediscovered after all these years? Look I've worked with rare birds for the last 10
00:13:13years. I've never come across them but interest in it makes people want to donate so we'll use that
00:13:18money to help save other animals from suffering the same fate as that parrot. So you'd like to
00:13:23see this myth go on and on? No not at all. Tourists traveling over natural habitats looking for some
00:13:29miracle bird puts other breeds in jeopardy. Are you filming me? If you can help prove this
00:13:35photo's a fake I can stop unwanted traffic and help emphasize the importance of animals that
00:13:41can't be protected. Just agree to an official interview and I'll go away. Oh no no no. Come on
00:13:48you've got a face for camera. It'll only take a minute. Oh aren't you the sweet talker but no can
00:13:54do. Do you know who took the picture? Look I don't want to be rude but I've got an island tour to lead
00:13:59so if you'll excuse me. I also have a catamaran tour to get to but maybe we can talk later.
00:14:05130 Friars dock? I hear the tour guide is very knowledgeable. I'll try not to disappoint.
00:14:13Kennedy hey. Hi. I'm really excited and I'm going to make sure this tour is extra special for you
00:14:18today okay. Oh thanks. We really need Ray to check over the boat before we can set sail.
00:14:23Right. Hope you brought your bathing suit today just in case you fall in the water. That depends.
00:14:31I'm just going to go ahead and get you ready for the tour.
00:14:33Did you bring your dragon? It's not a dragon. It's a Saint Lucian Iguana and no Rosemary will not be joining us today.
00:14:41It was a joke. Not very funny.
00:14:47Okay all right.
00:15:03I'm so pissed we can't eat anything.
00:15:22This seat taken? No.
00:15:24Do you know um do you know the bird was named after an ornithologist?
00:15:33Yeah that's um that's like a like a bird guy right and he first discovered it in 1776.
00:15:40Is that so? Yeah he discovered it near three brooks that all converged together.
00:15:45That's that's why you know it's named um you know tribe. Yeah.
00:15:55Madam. Thank you. It's from my website.
00:16:03So you own the website with all the souvenirs? Uh-huh look designed it all myself. Great.
00:16:09Yeah. I guess the sudden news the bird has been rediscovered must be good for business.
00:16:15Oh no no no I no no listen I had nothing to do with the post or the photo right. I'm just an
00:16:21entrepreneur who saw an opportunity to sell my own designs right. Might want to get your camera ready
00:16:27for this one. Ladies and gentlemen the Patons of St. Lucia.
00:16:58The gross and petite Patons are dormant volcanoes.
00:17:02The rich volcanic soil allows for some unique flowers to grow there.
00:17:05As you know St. Lucia has several distinct areas for vegetation.
00:17:10Some trees growing on the Patons cannot be found anywhere else on the island.
00:17:16Watch your step there. There you go. Good job. Oh there you are. Oh be careful now.
00:17:30There you go. You got it sir. Enjoy the tour. It was educational. Yeah.
00:17:38I would have caught you if you fell in the water this time.
00:17:41Okay. You're okay. Are you okay? Easy with the gas liners. What are you?
00:17:50It's okay. Sorry about that. So listen please keep this on you at all times. What's that? This is
00:17:55GPS. All right just in case you get lost in the jungle. I mean look no one ever does but you know
00:18:00it's the first time for everything. Good to know. All right. Hey good seeing you.
00:18:05Well everybody's got their GPS units now. You're okay.
00:18:21We have lots of cashew trees back in here.
00:18:24Some days you might see Tarzan swinging through the jungle back here with all these vines.
00:18:28So uh will your um boyfriend be joining you on this trip at all? There's no boyfriend.
00:18:38And although we're a small island we have a large animal population.
00:18:43Around 2,000 native species and about 10 percent of that can't be found anywhere else in the world.
00:18:48Does that include those extinct? Uh completely different list. Kennedy? Excuse me um just wait
00:18:55don't say just wait right up there yeah. Jake do me a favor. Just lead the rest of the group
00:18:59up the trail. I'll be right back okay. Kennedy? Kennedy?
00:19:19Kennedy stop where you're at. Don't move.
00:19:25St. Lucian boa. It's the largest and rarest subspecies on the island and we're protecting
00:19:38it with our conservation efforts. It's not venomous or aggressive. It's totally safe.
00:19:45Just stay very very still. She's beautiful huh?
00:19:49No. Okay. Not a snake pan? No. I came face to face with a snake at my grandparent's farm.
00:20:08We should probably get back to the group.
00:20:18St. Lucia is one of the most mountainous islands in the Caribbean. Combined with all the rain we
00:20:24get during the wet season we have an abundance of waterfalls. Hope you brought your bathing
00:20:30suit because you're welcome to get in and enjoy. Come on it'll be fun.
00:20:40Hey sis how's it going? Is that a waterfall? Are you going in? No I can't right now.
00:20:47Seriously? Oh please. Sound like Ray. Ray? Who's Ray? Did you meet a guy? I'm on international
00:20:55roaming. I can't afford a conversation about my love life. Now can you get in touch with
00:20:59your bird watching contacts and find out anything you can about the photo? Who posted it? Where?
00:21:05When? How? Can you do that for me please? Sure I'm on it. So which one of the hotties is Ray?
00:21:13It's not that guy is it?
00:21:22Look I gotta go but let me know if you find out anything okay? Bye.
00:21:29Ray? Kennedy? Ray? Renedy? Cray? Renedy?
00:21:43Okay who's next? The view is amazing going down. Oh no I'm not zip lining.
00:21:54Oh it's a long walk back. You'll enjoy it I promise. Oh Ray you know that bird picture
00:22:01everyone's talking about where we see the parrot up here? I'm afraid not Mildred. I'm not sure that
00:22:06species still exists but there are many other rare and exotic animals on this island that could use
00:22:10your support. It's just amazing the work that you do. I'm donating as soon as I get home. Well we
00:22:15welcome all support for local conservation work. Wonderful. See you at the bottom Jake.
00:22:23All set off you go.
00:22:24Okay all right Jake.
00:22:37You ready? Let's get you hooked up.
00:22:45Okay let me tell you something before you go. Remember to open your eyes. You'll thank me later.
00:23:24There's a lot to offer if you just give it a chance. I just have to do that. All right listen up everyone.
00:23:31Please turn in your GPS units to me. Thank you. Good job Jake. And special treat for you guys.
00:23:38If anybody wants to buy. Boom! Stylish hat designed by yours truly. Check it out.
00:23:44Huh? Talk to me at the resort. Designed it all myself. I am a designer. Boom! Look at this stylish t-shirt.
00:23:55Dinner's all set. Thanks. Oh hey. Do you know how to get to the tribrook? The place where the
00:24:11bird was first seen? I can't seem to find anything about it online. You won't find the parrot there.
00:24:17That's a crucial part of the story. If it'll help, Ray could take you.
00:24:25Oh no. I wouldn't want to bother him. I'm sure he's busy. Okay.
00:24:32But he does know how to avoid the tarantulas and poisonous centipedes you might encounter.
00:24:37Tarantulas? I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask if he's around.
00:24:43You know, he might be free.
00:25:13Hey, look over there.
00:25:20It's a dragon. It's not a dragon. This is St. Lucian iguana.
00:25:27And you're sure we won't find the parrots at tribrook? I closely monitored the site. They're not there.
00:25:34Seems like you're making a lot of effort for this story.
00:25:38I need something really compelling to win this competition at work.
00:25:43Must be a nice prize to get you all the way down here. I get to keep my job?
00:25:50Uh, my ex and I are co-hosts of this show called The Fake Checkers. And it's not the best working
00:25:56relationship. They're gonna get rid of one of us, so I really need to hit it out of the park
00:26:01with this story. Job's that important, huh? It's all I've got right now. I like doing stories that
00:26:09help protect people and save them from scammers and fraud. It's quite the unusual job you have.
00:26:20A fake picture lost my dad his re-election for mayor. A photo showed him buddying up to a
00:26:26developer everyone knew was a crook and we swore to stop. It broke his heart that people thought
00:26:31he was corrupt. But the opposition had pictures. They were fake, obviously. The people didn't know
00:26:39that or believe that at the time. My dad was a great mayor. He did a lot for the city. And
00:26:49all of that was forgotten because of one photo. I eventually proved it was a fake,
00:26:56but by then it was too late.
00:27:13This is Tribrook? Where are the brooks? They dried up a long time ago. Three streams just right up.
00:27:21Oh, the ecosystem changes. Like, these birds, they adapted to the change in vegetation,
00:27:31but the Polson Tribrook parrot didn't, which explains why they probably went extinct.
00:27:35They could have migrated elsewhere? No, I don't think that's the case.
00:27:39There's a myth about the parrot that had it hunted into extinction by believers decades ago.
00:27:44What's the myth? Look, we have real animals in need here. For example, the St. Lucian parrot
00:27:50was on the verge of extinction until our conservation efforts kicked in.
00:27:53Now the numbers are increasing each year. And that goes for forests, too. There were less than
00:27:58a hundred pencil cedar trees until a few years ago. Well, if you agree to an interview, I could
00:28:03tell the world about your work. Nope, no interview. Why not? It could help with donations. I just
00:28:08think I'd do more harm than good in front of that camera. I guess I'll have to wait to interview
00:28:14the parrot. Every time I do one of these stories, I think maybe this is the one. But then I start
00:28:33looking into it, and it's always disappointing. But let's be real. Things don't just come back
00:28:40to life. That's a fantasy. Well, you're in a living fantasy right now.
00:28:49Say, uh, do you need to get back right away? You need to get back right away.
00:28:57We're supposed to be working. Well, work can wait.
00:29:40Stingrays! Stingrays! It's okay, all right? Just stay calm. If they're in their natural
00:29:51habitat, we're the ones invading them, see? So if you just relax, everything will be fine. Just
00:29:56allow them to swim around you. You're doing great. I'm putting my hands down.
00:30:03Amazing, huh? Thank you. I didn't realize how much you needed this.
00:30:22I couldn't believe you're that great of a swimmer. I thought the stingray would feel a lot
00:30:37rougher. You know, well, that was surprising that you did that. I surprised myself. Oh,
00:30:44you two look like you've been having fun. You working hard? Oh, me? I'm having a great day
00:30:49preparing another wedding. Well, soon you'll be doing that for yourself. Oh,
00:30:52I forget the time. It is wedding season all year round here. You're engaged?
00:31:01He actually proposed right here on the beach, but I've been so busy yet we haven't even gotten
00:31:05around to setting a date. So whose wedding are you planning? Oh, it is for a VIP guest. All top
00:31:12secret. You know what these celebrity weddings are. They don't give you any details so that
00:31:17there aren't any press leaks. Excuse me. Oh, no, that's not going to work. But thank you. They
00:31:24did say spare no expense, so I'm creating my own little dream wedding. So how was your day?
00:31:33I touched a stingray. Oh, weren't you scared? Not Kennedy.
00:31:41Are you trying to impress a certain someone with a special tour of the island, Ray?
00:31:48So how did you two end up in St. Lucia? Well, Ray always wanted to work in conservation in
00:31:53the Caribbean, but after our parents passed, he didn't want to leave me alone in the States.
00:31:59So I suggested we both move down. Well, really, I was just tired of shoveling snow in Syracuse,
00:32:05figured I would shovel sand in St. Lucia. My dad always said family's what matters most.
00:32:12Well, your dad sounds like a good man. Kind of remind me of him in a way, where you use science
00:32:16to make a difference. He used the government. My dad was mayor of Albany County. Mayor James
00:32:24Weber. You used to talk about him. Yeah, he was really influential in the small city environmental
00:32:29movement. How cool. You're Mayor Weber's daughter. Well, I should get back. Max gets pretty vocal
00:32:40when his dinner's late. Well, thanks for today. I really enjoyed it. Yeah, no problem.
00:32:50Hi.
00:32:56I had a good time too.
00:32:58You like her. She's growing on me.
00:33:06Ray seems genuine. The Conservation Center is doing great work. Maybe the bird is real.
00:33:14I'm so glad you created that website. And thank you, Kennedy, for proving the
00:33:19time spent with you is never just fun at the beach. Oh, oh, at least I didn't run scared.
00:33:37Good morning, Sienna. Hey, I got a lead on who uploaded the picture. The buzz going around is
00:33:55that the picture came from a local on the island with the last name of Miners. Miners? How'd you
00:34:01know? I got a screenshot of the original post. You can just make it out in the corner.
00:34:06Anne Miners. Anne? Um, can you send me that? Sure.
00:34:16I didn't mean to deceive you. Ray was so upset when I posted the picture. I took it down as
00:34:20soon as he told me the damage it could do, but by then people were sharing and talking about it.
00:34:25So he had nothing to do with posting it? Or Jake's website? No, and he really didn't even
00:34:31want Jake to make the site. He thinks it brings unwanted attention. I'm sorry,
00:34:36Kennedy. I just wanted to see if any other birdwatchers thought it was real.
00:34:41So where did the photo come from then? A couple, the Sawyers, honeymooning here at the resort.
00:34:46They took the photo, but they couldn't identify it with any of the birds in any of their bird
00:34:50watching apps. I showed the photo to Ray and he said the feather pattern matched the Poulsen
00:34:56tribrook parrot, but that the bird was extinct. I really wanted to believe they'd come back
00:35:02because if they're real, Ray'd be the perfect person to protect them. Well, I need to talk
00:35:10with that couple. They left. Ray rang them to try and find out what trail they were on,
00:35:14but he couldn't find anything. Oh, oh, you could talk to the locals that had the last
00:35:20confirmed sighting 40 years ago. Maybe they can help with the film. They're still around.
00:35:25Oh, yeah. Teresa, she officiates all of our weddings and they live right nearby.
00:35:29That could be helpful. I'd like to get their take on the picture. Thank you. Of course.
00:35:42Thanks. Well, I figured we could go off the beaten path.
00:35:46Listen, I didn't mean to lie to you about my sister. I just didn't want her being linked to
00:35:50your story as their intentions were good. She's an eternal optimist.
00:35:57It's okay. And I appreciate you taking me to see the couple.
00:36:02Well, that's the least I could do. Shall we? Okay.
00:36:15So,
00:36:29how far? Oh, just a ways.
00:36:37So, we saw the beautiful creature while on a hike. The first one we took after getting engaged.
00:36:47We used to hike the island all the time in those days. Yeah, we kind of don't anymore.
00:36:54Now we watch the beauty right here from our porch.
00:36:58Well, how did you know it was the Pulsing Tribrook Parrot? It's beautiful fuchsia heart
00:37:04shape on its chest feathers. But most of all, it's calm. It's very distinctive. I could make
00:37:11it for you if you like. Please. Are you ready? Amazing. Thank you. Now, do you think the bird
00:37:27is extinct? Oh, no. Really? You know about the legend, right?
00:37:35The Pulsing Tribrook Parrot will remain as difficult to find
00:37:39as true love. And only those who found true love will ever find the bird.
00:37:50The heart shaped feathers are a local symbol for love.
00:37:54It's why we use fuchsia flowers in our wedding ceremonies. But the photo could still be a fake.
00:38:01I can show you. I took a picture of a St. Lucia parrot. And look.
00:38:10When you add some motion blur, change the color hue. And then when we compare,
00:38:19you see the picture of the Pulsing Tribrook Parrot could be easily recreated.
00:38:24There hasn't been a sighting in nearly half a century. But you still think the bird is alive?
00:38:29I just think there aren't as many couples around who have found true love. So they can't find the
00:38:35bird. But you said you went to Tribrook and Descartes, but that's not where we found it.
00:38:44That's not where we found it. I can show you if you like.
00:38:49Okay, so you guys go here, go here, this area.
00:39:10You're still skeptical?
00:39:14I mean, true love? Aren't you? Yeah, right. And the rate you're going,
00:39:22we're never gonna see in our lifetime. Someone's in a rush.
00:39:35Are you all right?
00:39:40That's what I get for trying to keep an eye on you.
00:39:44Wait.
00:39:58Does this look familiar to you?
00:40:15What's that?
00:40:24It's a bird trap. Poachers were here. You don't think they're trying to capture the parrot?
00:40:31Oh, ours or any other rare exotic bird on the island. They bring back a big payday as pets
00:40:37in the black market. That's horrible. This is where I was afraid would happen.
00:40:42I can't protect an area based on a myth. If the parrot does exist,
00:40:46we need to find it before anyone else does. So you believe it now?
00:40:52Someone does. Let's get out of here in case they see us down here.
00:41:11Hey, guys. Hey, you guys, look what I found. A bird. The black-browed babbler has been found
00:41:23in Indonesia after being missing for 170 years. See? Things can unexpectedly reappear.
00:41:31And speaking of unexpected, you see that couple over there?
00:41:35They're the honeymooners who took the original photo. Yeah. Let's go talk to them.
00:41:40Okay, right. Right, right, right, right. Check it out. Super legit, right?
00:41:48It's definitely the Bolsontribrook parrot. Flew right over us.
00:41:52I took that still from the video if you'd like to see it. Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:57Hi.
00:42:06Doesn't look like any bird I've seen on the island. It's incredible. It's 100% real.
00:42:13Why did you come back? Jake, the guest experience guy,
00:42:18yeah, he contacted us. He said that we won the lovebird special.
00:42:22Do you know anything about this? No, I've never heard of that before.
00:42:27You said you were on the Descartes Trail, but I didn't have any luck there.
00:42:32Could you show us where you were at when you took that video? Yeah, sure.
00:42:39We were right about here.
00:42:44You up for an adventure?
00:43:05These views are stunning. That's what I love about this island.
00:43:13It never gets old. So what do you think about the saunas?
00:43:18They seem genuine. I mean, they're video too.
00:43:22Yeah, so you believe that that bird is still alive out there too, huh?
00:43:28Wouldn't it be amazing? The odds are against it. My scientific
00:43:32mind says that it can't be. What does your heart say?
00:43:35I haven't listened to that in years. It'd get me in trouble.
00:43:38Well, maybe that's not a problem. It only appears to believers of true love.
00:44:02You better slow down. You're going to wear yourself out.
00:44:05No way. I've been hit in the gym. I can share my exercise routine with you.
00:44:09Oh, your exercise routine. I've got the whole island exercising.
00:44:13Does beat the treadmill.
00:44:21Jake, what are you doing here, bud?
00:44:28Hey, guys. Hey. I'm probably the same as you, trying to get a lucky glimpse of our
00:44:33mysterious friend. Did you get the Sawyers to bring you here?
00:44:37Yeah. Yeah. They previously said it was in this area, but no one's ever seen it.
00:44:41So I thought I'd bring them back out to retrace their steps. But this is the area
00:44:47they brought me. I know how important finding the parrot is to you, so I thought I'd help.
00:44:53Have you seen it? No. Four hours, nothing. Tribrook is not here.
00:44:58Tribrook is not here. I told you to leave these birds alone, Jake. These areas are protected.
00:45:06Yeah, but this would be great for St. Lucia. Besides, if you don't believe they're back,
00:45:09why are you out here scurrying around? Just sell your t-shirts, Jake. Let us see
00:45:12if the Sawyers were right. All right. All right. All right. I'll head back. I'll sell my t-shirts.
00:45:23That was weird. I know. Jake's never been interested in conservation work before this.
00:45:29Isn't it a good thing that this photo is getting people interested in protecting endangered species?
00:45:36Yeah, but even well-intentioned supporters can do more harm than good if a conservation strategy
00:45:40isn't in place first. Wilderness without wildlife is just scenery. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:45:46No, I wasn't recording. I wasn't recording.
00:45:55We should probably look around.
00:45:58Yeah.
00:46:02No more filming, then.
00:46:23I was really starting to think that maybe...
00:46:29You know when I told you that I'd heard of your father? Turns out he was actually a founder of
00:46:42the Wildlife and Conservation Board for small cities that I now serve on.
00:46:47No way. Yeah.
00:46:49Small world.
00:46:50Yeah. I read a lot of his reports, and he was way ahead of his time.
00:47:00We're actually using a lot of his research today.
00:47:06Thanks, Ray. Well, we better head back. Where we go?
00:47:14Yeah.
00:47:14How about a little memento?
00:47:17Uh...
00:47:19Come on.
00:47:20Okay.
00:47:31I really wanted this one to be true. Is my cynical mind wrong?
00:47:38I don't think you're cynical.
00:47:40Thanks.
00:47:42Ray! I'm getting married!
00:47:47Congratulations!
00:47:50Aren't you already engaged?
00:47:51Yes! The wedding I was planning for tomorrow? It's for me! Mike set it all up!
00:47:57Good work, man. That could have really backfired.
00:47:59I am so excited. I mean, I'm in shock. But, Kennedy! You have to come!
00:48:05Oh, no, don't feel you have to. I don't want to intrude.
00:48:08You're not intruding! Oh my god, Ray! You need a plus one for tomorrow.
00:48:13Help with the nerves. Remember what you promised?
00:48:16How could I forget?
00:48:18You're giving a speech?
00:48:19Well, something like that. And you have to come.
00:48:23No one likes to go to a wedding alone. Plus, I'll even save you a dance.
00:48:29Well, I would love to, but I don't have anything suitable to wear.
00:48:33Oh, I will sort you out.
00:48:36Okay, well, any chance to get out of these boots for a day?
00:48:40Oh, you two must be starving. Go and grab some food from the Caribbean night buffet
00:48:45before it all goes. Yeah, definitely work up an appetite.
00:48:48Unless you've seen enough of me for one day. No, no, not at all. I just
00:48:53drop my bag off in my room and I'll be right back.
00:48:56All right. You guys must be so excited.
00:49:01So happy for you guys.
00:49:31This is amazing.
00:49:43Well, I hope you don't mind, but it's a liberty of getting us some food.
00:49:47Do you like fried plantains?
00:49:49Never had it before.
00:49:50Just try them. They're my favorite.
00:49:52All right. Give it a try.
00:49:55Delicious.
00:49:57You know, I live in a city with all kinds of restaurants, but the food here,
00:50:02better than anywhere else.
00:50:04Well, I think that's because they would say it was made with love.
00:50:08Looks like love's all over the island, then.
00:50:12Very well may be.
00:50:17So I got to ask,
00:50:19how long were you with your ex?
00:50:21Too long. Three years.
00:50:24What happened?
00:50:26I think he was always waiting for someone better to come along.
00:50:29And I just didn't see it at the time.
00:50:32You know, with our fast paced lives, we often miss something amazing.
00:50:38Being out here in nature, it taught me patience.
00:50:42And it taught me how to be a good person.
00:50:44Being out here in nature, it taught me patience.
00:50:49You know, waiting hours on end, quietly, for an animal to be in its natural habitat.
00:50:55All that time for just one fleeting glimpse.
00:51:00It's worth it. Every time.
00:51:03Sweet.
00:51:05But I also focus too much on work.
00:51:08What was that?
00:51:09I work too much.
00:51:10Oh, you're a workaholic.
00:51:12Yes.
00:51:13That's why you don't have the time to enjoy yourself.
00:51:15I'm enjoying myself right now.
00:51:20What are they doing over there?
00:51:22Uh, that is the Lakame, traditional St. Lucian dance.
00:51:28You want to give it a try?
00:51:30Oh!
00:51:32Okay!
00:52:29She's all set.
00:52:42She looks stunning.
00:52:43I just still can't believe Mike got Anne to plan her own wedding and still be a surprise.
00:52:48Yeah, he figured that she wouldn't go all out if she knew it was for her.
00:52:52You know, she plans these beautiful experiences for everyone else.
00:52:56He just wanted her to have that for her own wedding.
00:52:58This way she couldn't find excuses to put anyone else first.
00:53:01She seems so excited.
00:53:03I'll see you after.
00:53:28Anne?
00:53:39Mom and Dad will be proud.
00:54:08I love you.
00:54:09All right, get up there.
00:54:10You're going to make me cry.
00:54:11Okay.
00:54:12Hello world, wake me up to another good, good morning.
00:54:13Time to go.
00:54:14Got that smile upon my face because there's excitement in the chase.
00:54:15This I know.
00:54:16Yeah, I'm going for the ride, and by myself I am alive, and I soar.
00:54:43Still I run toward the wind, and let the challenge come in, so I'm on my way.
00:54:50I now pronounce you husband and wife.
00:54:51You may now kiss.
00:54:52I love you.
00:54:53I love you.
00:54:54Too many people go through life without love, but here we are.
00:55:18So, if you could raise a glass to Mr. and Mrs. Blessinger.
00:55:24I love you.
00:55:35When we were little, we used to sit around the house and sing songs.
00:55:40Anne made me promise that I would sing at her wedding one day.
00:55:45I agreed, never thinking that day would happen, but here we are.
00:55:50So, to keep my word, and to let Anne know just how much she means to me.
00:56:31From the other side of Thompson Street, I felt love for a little while.
00:56:41Because you looked beautiful in the sunset glow, in that sunset glow.
00:56:51You looked more beautiful than anyone I know, than anyone I know.
00:57:02When I asked, you told me yes, to be in mine forevermore.
00:57:10All I can offer is my best, through the good and bad, through rich and poor.
00:57:20You look more beautiful than anyone I know.
00:57:30You look beautiful, so beautiful.
00:57:42There is a lot more to him than he first lets on.
00:57:52He spends so much time talking to Max, I thought he forgot how to talk to girls, to be honest.
00:57:57I'd never guess he could sing.
00:58:00Ray is full of surprises.
00:58:02Enjoy your night.
00:58:13May I have this next dance?
00:58:17Mr. Miners, I can't understand why you don't want to be on camera.
00:58:25Okay, when I was in college, I was part of a conservation club.
00:58:31It's not as nerdy as it sounds.
00:58:33I'm not judging.
00:58:34Actually, it's every bit as nerdy as it sounds.
00:58:36I made this plan to save the rare piping clover nesting near Lake Ontario.
00:58:41Of course you did.
00:58:43Well, we needed money for the plan to work.
00:58:45So when the others in the group found out I could sing, they entered me into a singing competition last minute.
00:58:51Well, if you sang just like you did there, I'm sure you saved a lot of birds.
00:58:55Well, that was the problem.
00:58:57I dislocated my shoulder that morning, and I went to see the doctor right away.
00:59:02And when I got to the chorus, the painkillers really kicked in.
00:59:07Oh, no.
00:59:08Oh, yeah.
00:59:09Oh, no.
00:59:10Yeah.
00:59:11Instead of singing, The Lady Loves Me, I sang, The Lady Loves Me.
00:59:17Oh.
00:59:18Oh, God.
00:59:19No, it wasn't funny.
00:59:21I was delirious.
00:59:22It was funny.
00:59:23You know, and to make matters worse, there was a local news crew there, and it ended up being me.
00:59:29There was a local news crew there, and it aired on every newscast for what felt like a week.
00:59:35I was so embarrassed.
00:59:37You did it for a good cause.
00:59:39Yeah, but I swore to never take center stage ever again.
00:59:47You were really great.
00:59:48Well, I guess I do have a few tricks up my sleeve.
00:59:51Can't wait to see the next one.
00:59:53Come around, everybody.
00:59:55Oh.
00:59:56Oh.
00:59:57Cavity.
00:59:58Let's go.
00:59:59You got to get over there.
01:00:00Let's go.
01:00:01Come on, girl.
01:00:09You know the legend, right?
01:00:11The Paulson tribal parrot is as difficult to find as true love.
01:00:16And only those who found true love will ever find the parrot.
01:00:20There aren't as many couples around who have found true love, so they can't find the bird.
01:00:26How did you know it was the Paulson tribal parrot?
01:00:29It's beautiful fuchsia heart shape on its chest feathers.
01:00:33But most of all, it's calm.
01:00:38Well, look at you.
01:00:40You've got all the luck.
01:00:43You bet.
01:00:45Yeah, I've lost my boyfriend, I have no story, so I'm about to lose my job.
01:00:50But I have a wedding bouquet with the beautiful colors of the elusive tribe rock.
01:00:57You're sure we can't use any of that video that you shot?
01:01:00Oh, I have a great travel segment, just not the type of thing the fake checkers plays.
01:01:07Listen, I'm sorry. I couldn't be more of help.
01:01:12Look, I really appreciate everything you've done.
01:01:17Truly. Without you, I wouldn't have learned the lakame.
01:01:22Well, that's a skill that no one should go without.
01:01:25You still remember the steps?
01:01:28I think we can manage.
01:01:47Yes!
01:01:50Oh no, is that the wrong step?
01:01:52No, no way!
01:01:54Only three steps.
01:01:55Only three steps.
01:01:57One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
01:02:01No!
01:02:16I love you.
01:02:47Kennedy!
01:02:50Beau!
01:02:53What are you doing here?
01:02:55I think we're making a mistake.
01:02:57What can I do to get you back?
01:02:59I don't believe you. What's the real reason you're here?
01:03:03I don't know.
01:03:05I don't know.
01:03:07I don't know.
01:03:09I don't know.
01:03:11I don't know.
01:03:13I don't know.
01:03:14I don't know why you're here.
01:03:17I need your help.
01:03:19My story collapsed without you there to inspire me.
01:03:25Listen, I've got to go.
01:03:29We can talk later.
01:03:33Is that...
01:03:35Beau Hawks, my former co-host.
01:03:38Your ex.
01:03:40That too. But that doesn't matter right now. Were you looking for me?
01:03:44I think we were looking in the wrong spot for the parrot.
01:03:47I looked at Spoto again last night. The lancet trees were in the background.
01:03:51They only grow in soil from recent volcanic origins.
01:03:53So we have a new place to look.
01:03:55If you're up for another adventure.
01:03:57Let's go.
01:03:58What about Beau?
01:04:00He can wait.
01:04:14Got it.
01:04:27Well, the pulsing parrot likes water.
01:04:32Wait, hold on.
01:04:39I think this looks like where they took the video.
01:04:44Right.
01:04:45So this is the spot.
01:04:50Okay, let's take a look.
01:05:04This parrot really doesn't want to be found.
01:05:11I could have swore we were in the right location this time.
01:05:15Maybe it's like love.
01:05:17We always look for it in the wrong place.
01:05:20Well, maybe you shouldn't look for that.
01:05:22Just let it find you.
01:05:38Beau made quite the effort to come down here and find you.
01:05:40He was the last person I was expecting to see.
01:05:44My head's been kind of spinning since he came down here for me.
01:05:48But out here, the outside world just fades away.
01:05:53You know, I've been so caught up in trying to find out if we're really on to something.
01:05:59And even if it's not real,
01:06:02it feels more real than anything I've felt in a long time.
01:06:06Same.
01:06:08Same.
01:06:14That wasn't me.
01:06:16Was that...?
01:06:17I think so.
01:06:38No!
01:06:42No!
01:07:08No!
01:07:29You see anything?
01:07:31No.
01:07:33I was convinced we'd find it this time.
01:07:37There's still a chance.
01:07:40Is that optimism I hear?
01:07:44Yeah, you might be rubbing off on me after all.
01:07:50Well, if I was the parrot, this is where I'd hide from the world.
01:08:08That's the...
01:08:09the possum tribe of parrots!
01:08:14It doesn't exist.
01:08:22Right up there!
01:08:33I can't believe I'm getting this on camera.
01:08:37There's something there!
01:08:55There's... there's a pear!
01:08:59There's a... there's a pear!
01:09:00There's a pear!
01:09:01There's a pear!
01:09:07We're still rolling.
01:09:14Okay, let me record.
01:09:26The discovery of the Polson tribrook parrot is only the beginning.
01:09:31With at least one pair, it's up to the conservationists and all of us to keep these
01:09:37birds safe and help them thrive.
01:09:41Great.
01:09:42I can't wait to assess how many there are and develop a conservation strategy.
01:09:47This is really exciting.
01:09:51That's the GPS unit from the resort.
01:09:56Why is it in your bag?
01:09:57I don't know.
01:09:58I thought I gave them back after the tour.
01:10:02We should probably get back, just in case anyone knows we're here.
01:10:22Hey, any luck on your quest today?
01:10:25Actually, yes.
01:10:27But we found something else, too.
01:10:29Oh, huh.
01:10:33Where was this?
01:10:34My equipment bag.
01:10:36Really?
01:10:37I wonder how it got there.
01:10:38Someone put it there, Jake.
01:10:41You think I put it there?
01:10:43Come on, Ray, why would I do that?
01:10:45Make money for private tours?
01:10:47Come on, I'm not trying to be a career tour guide, all right?
01:10:50I'm an artist.
01:10:51So it's just a coincidence that this was on in my bag.
01:10:55You know what probably happened?
01:10:57I bet we put it in your bag for the jungle tour.
01:11:01Yeah, you've got some equipment that we didn't want you to lose, so we probably just forgot to get it from you at the end.
01:11:09Yeah, I guess that's what happened.
01:11:13Put it back where it belongs.
01:11:15Oh, yeah, of course.
01:11:19Sorry about that.
01:11:28Hey.
01:11:30So, are you sure you know where to go?
01:11:32Yeah, once we're settled in, we can talk plans, okay?
01:11:34Okay, all right.
01:11:35But I want to get that before anyone else.
01:11:37Yeah.
01:11:38Yeah.
01:11:39Okay, great.
01:11:47Oh, I saw your missed call.
01:11:49Can we talk?
01:11:51Oh, welcome in.
01:11:55Will you let me apologize?
01:11:57I never should have taken you for granted.
01:11:59I mean, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
01:12:02And this time apart has been so good for me.
01:12:05You show me what life is like without you, and I'm useless.
01:12:10This time has been good for me, too.
01:12:13And you were right.
01:12:14We were always together.
01:12:16This time has been good for me, too.
01:12:19And you were right.
01:12:21We were in a rut, going nowhere.
01:12:23We're a team.
01:12:25A good team.
01:12:26We're not a team anymore.
01:12:29Mindy will take us back.
01:12:31We just have to show her how good it used to be
01:12:34by working on this story together.
01:12:36Why would I share a story that I've worked so hard on?
01:12:39Well, I might have some information that could help you.
01:12:41I saw that guy at the front desk talking to some dude about where the birds were.
01:12:45He promised to take them straight to them.
01:12:46Jake?
01:12:47So he was after the location.
01:12:49Did you get a name, who he was talking to?
01:12:51Well, I might not be as useless as I look,
01:12:53but if I help you, do you promise to give it another shot?
01:12:57Well, you can start by writing a script for the story,
01:13:01and a front desk can fill you in.
01:13:03You think you can handle that?
01:13:04I'm on it.
01:13:06Where we were, we found there were certain truths.
01:13:10How do you know the bird traders?
01:13:12Bo got the name of the bird collector Jake was with,
01:13:14and from what he told me, Jake gets a feel for the parrot's location.
01:13:17And I doubt he's just after some pretty pictures.
01:13:20Bo, do you think Jake would share the coordinates?
01:13:22Well, I hope not.
01:13:23But we can't risk them finding the tribals before we find them.
01:13:45Are you sure this is the right place?
01:13:47Yeah. I checked the coordinates like 20 times.
01:13:51Hey, you're not going to hurt the parrots, right?
01:13:55Of course not.
01:13:56My clients want the birds as healthy as possible for their exotic collections.
01:14:00You said you only needed two, right? You can't take them all.
01:14:03You said breeding, not trading, right?
01:14:06The breed, you have to trade, Jake.
01:14:09I'll only take a couple more than I said, but...
01:14:11I'll only take a couple more than I said, but...
01:14:13Well, business is business.
01:14:15Have you done your part?
01:14:16Yeah, whatever that means.
01:14:17Listen, I think I saw...
01:14:18I have an idea.
01:14:20Well, what?
01:14:21Okay, good. Where exactly?
01:14:22I think it was this way.
01:14:23No, no, this way too.
01:14:24This way?
01:14:25Yeah.
01:14:26So in order to get up there, where do we go?
01:14:35Hey!
01:14:37Oh, hey, uh, Kennedy, Ray, what...
01:14:39Hey, uh, Kennedy, Ray, what...
01:14:42Hey, Jake.
01:14:43We're just recording a segment for my show,
01:14:45and I wanted to ask you a couple of questions.
01:14:50Did you know there have been reports of an illegal bird trader on the island?
01:14:54What's going on here?
01:14:56I'm with the Fake Checkers,
01:14:57a TV show which uncovers scams and corruption.
01:15:01We fabricated a story about the sighting of an extinct exotic parrot
01:15:05in order to capture bird traders in action.
01:15:08Fabricated story?
01:15:09What do you mean?
01:15:10Wait, wait, you said you found the bird, right?
01:15:13Yeah, that was part of the scheme.
01:15:15I guess the real question here is, what are you two doing here?
01:15:22We're just a couple of ecotourists, yeah?
01:15:25So you two aren't trying to capture rare animals illegally?
01:15:30No, no, I would never do that.
01:15:32I wouldn't do that.
01:15:33Ray, I wouldn't...
01:15:34Hey, I'm just trying to help.
01:15:37Are you prepared to say that to camera, Patrick Wallace?
01:15:44I think we should go.
01:15:45Hey, just go.
01:15:46I think it's a good idea.
01:15:50Look, look, I'm not with this guy, all right?
01:15:52He's just a breeder, he's trying to help, all right?
01:15:54Listen, he contacted me through the website, all right?
01:15:58I thought this could be good.
01:16:00You know that's my job, Jake.
01:16:01You should have come to me.
01:16:03What were you thinking?
01:16:04Yeah, I tried to come to you, remember?
01:16:06Huh? And you didn't believe me.
01:16:11I just couldn't see how it could be a real sighting with a lack of evidence.
01:16:15And I never stopped having hope that patience would allow nature to show us the truth when it was ready.
01:16:22I think you should go, Jake.
01:16:25Yeah, you better go catch your friend.
01:16:27Make sure he doesn't get lost and miss his flight home.
01:16:31I'm sorry, Kennedy.
01:16:34It's okay.
01:16:40I think it worked.
01:16:41I think that scared him pretty good.
01:16:43You know, being on the side of the camera is actually pretty fun.
01:16:46We make a good team.
01:16:48What do you say to a celebratory dinner tonight, you and me?
01:16:54Sure.
01:16:58Oh no, looks like Rosemary's gotten loose in the resort again.
01:17:02I think she has a thing for you.
01:17:04She just might.
01:17:07You should go make sure they don't get lost.
01:17:09Yeah.
01:17:31We could both use some change.
01:17:35A newer perspective to see.
01:17:38Thanks to Bo's help, we were able to officially protect the Polson Tribe Root Parrot in the area
01:17:44and uncover the dangers these beautiful animals face when not carefully protected.
01:17:49This truly is a special story, proving a parrot came back from extinction.
01:17:54And with your efforts to support conservation work, just think how many other animals we could save.
01:18:00And with some faith, and in the presence of true love, I now know miracles do happen.
01:18:07And that's Fake Checked.
01:18:11Thanks, Bo, for your help.
01:18:13It's pretty smart, cozying up to the guy at the bar to get his name.
01:18:16Remind me of old times, going undercover together.
01:18:21You know I'd do anything for you, right?
01:18:24And we can go at your own pace, build back what made the show great again.
01:18:30You really did make a difference in a lot of people's lives.
01:18:45You must be Ray.
01:18:46Uh, yeah.
01:18:48Yeah, Kenny, you told me about you.
01:18:51Well, thanks for being our guide and looking after while I was away.
01:18:55I missed her so much. It's good to be back with her.
01:19:00So you guys are back together.
01:19:03Yeah, things are just better when we're together.
01:19:05The show just works, we work, Kennedy knows it.
01:19:09Hey, listen, I'd invite you to dinner, but we've got a lot of catching up to do.
01:19:13Uh, yeah, well, I hope the show goes the way you want it to.
01:19:19Do you want me to give those to her?
01:19:23Yeah, sure.
01:19:25Tell her, thank you.
01:19:28Sure.
01:19:49I didn't get me
01:20:02can we live right here in this
01:20:18I just want to know why, Jake.
01:20:28You should have listened to Ray.
01:20:30Yeah, I know, I know.
01:20:31It just, it seemed like a sign.
01:20:32You know, I finally got my design work out there on the site.
01:20:35And the tourists were really loving the mystery, especially when the photo went viral.
01:20:39And then Ray took it all down.
01:20:41You know, things started to slow.
01:20:43Then this guy said he could help the parish with the breeding program.
01:20:46And if I helped him, then more parrots meant more business.
01:20:48And I'm, look, I'm sorry.
01:20:51I thought it was a win-win.
01:20:52All right.
01:20:53I never intended to hurt Ray or the parrots.
01:20:56Well, at least no harm was done.
01:20:58And the story should mean more business for the website.
01:21:02We know I'm donating 20% of all proceeds to the center.
01:21:06So I'm sure Ray will be grateful for the support.
01:21:10Got a lot of making up to do, but it's a great start.
01:21:15This.
01:21:17Huh?
01:21:18Pretty cool.
01:21:19Yeah?
01:21:21Keep in touch, Jake.
01:21:22You got it.
01:21:25Safe travels.
01:21:27You're taking me back.
01:21:30You're taking me back.
01:21:33When the world was small and everything was ours.
01:21:38You're taking me back.
01:21:40You're taking me back.
01:21:42Please find attached my edited segment.
01:21:45I flew out with one story in mind, but it completely changed once I discovered an even greater one.
01:21:51And so did I.
01:21:53Please accept this email as my resignation.
01:21:56For the fake checkers co-host job.
01:21:59I came to St. Lucia to prove to the world that what is gone is lost forever.
01:22:04But this island opened my heart to something completely unexpected.
01:22:10On my quest to find an elusive parrot, I learned more about myself and what I've been avoiding.
01:22:17I'd lost hope in taking risks and believing in unexpected miracles and the beauty in life all around us.
01:22:25Mindy Dole.
01:22:26I got some ideas I want to discuss.
01:22:28That new production runner, uh, Stacy?
01:22:31I think she's got real potential.
01:22:32I think she deserves a break.
01:22:35For me, this job has always been about uncovering scams that target people.
01:22:40After my dad's career was ruined by a faked photo.
01:22:44But this trip made me realize that's not what my father would have wanted me to focus on.
01:22:49Bye!
01:22:51Hey, how'd the honeymoon go?
01:22:53It was amazing.
01:22:55Relaxing, romantic.
01:22:59Are you watching Kennedy's report again?
01:23:02Yeah.
01:23:04She did a great job.
01:23:06You know, she really did.
01:23:09Mm-hmm.
01:23:10So, um, this was addressed to you on my desk when I went into work.
01:23:16Let me have it.
01:23:21Will you call me later?
01:23:22I will.
01:23:23Love you.
01:23:24Glad you're back.
01:23:46This story has led me on a new path.
01:23:50A path that will continue my dad's legacy in conservation.
01:23:54And in the memory of Dr. James Weber.
01:23:57This is Kennedy Weber, reporting for the last time for The Fake Checkers.
01:24:15It's so nice of the local committee to do this for Dad.
01:24:18It's so unexpected.
01:24:19I just wish I had more than a week's notice for the ceremony.
01:24:23Well, the opening of a research center in Dad's name was way overdue.
01:24:27Yeah. I would have invited Ray.
01:24:29Get him to watch me do my very first episode.
01:24:32Your own TV show!
01:24:34And Jake did a great job with the logo.
01:24:37I know. I was tired of debunking scams.
01:24:41Now I get to tell stories and inspire people and give them hope.
01:24:45Dad would be so proud.
01:24:48What did the organizer say?
01:24:50Someone brought Dad's name to the attention of the local conservation advisory board
01:24:54when they were naming this new research center.
01:24:57Everyone was in agreement.
01:24:59Who was it?
01:25:00I don't know.
01:25:01I don't know.
01:25:17Ray?
01:25:19You did all of this?
01:25:22How? Why?
01:25:24The opinions of those who respected and admired your father never changed.
01:25:28And I wanted you to know that.
01:25:30Um, hi.
01:25:32I'm Sienna, Kennedy's sister.
01:25:34Sienna, it is lovely to finally meet you.
01:25:37The pleasure is all mine.
01:25:43I can't believe you organized all of this for our dad.
01:25:47Well, to be perfectly honest with you,
01:25:50I really did it for you.
01:25:52Oh?
01:25:54Yeah, you know how I am with words.
01:25:57I didn't think that I would find the right ones in the right order to let you know that
01:26:03I'm in love with you.
01:26:08You had nothing to worry about.
01:26:18You know, this center in St. Lucia has connections with a center here in New York.
01:26:23So you could come work here? Near me?
01:26:26If you want.
01:26:28Then we'd always have St. Lucia.
01:27:26I love you.
01:27:56I love you.
