>> LET'S TAKE OUR TIME.
[knocks on door]
PHEW.
I'M NERVOUS.
OH.
HI, I'M NEV.
A COUPLE YEARS AGO, I FELL IN
LOVE ONLINE.
TURNS OUT, MY CRUSH WASN'T WHO
I THOUGHT SHE WAS.
I THOUGHT I FELL IN LOVE WITH
MEGAN, BUT MEGAN WAS REALLY
ANGELA.
I WAS HEARTBROKEN.
BUT THE WEIRDEST PART OF IT ALL,
ANGELA AND I ACTUALLY BECAME
FRIENDS.
NOT ONLY THAT, MY BROTHER AND
HIS FILMMAKING PARTNER SHOT
THE WHOLE THING AND TURNED IT
INTO A DOCUMENTARY THAT WAS
A PRETTY BIG HIT.
SUDDENLY, MY INBOX WAS
EXPLODING WITH EMAILS.
"WHEN I SAW YOUR MOVIE CATFISH,
I COULDN'T BELIEVE
THE SIMILARITIES."
IT FELT LIKE EVERYONE ON
THE INTERNET WANTED TO TELL ME
ABOUT THEIR BIZARRE ONLINE
ROMANCE.
I COULD JUST PURSUE EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF THESE LEADS, AND
WE SHOULD MAKE A SHOW OF IT.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO.
I'M HITTING THE ROAD WITH MY
FILMMAKER BUDDY MAX AND A CREW
FROM MTV TO HELP PEOPLE MEET
THEIR ONLINE LOVES FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
OKAY, I THINK THIS IS IT.
IT'S GO TIME RIGHT NOW.
>> GO TIME.
>> ALL RIGHT.
IS THE PERSON THEY'VE FALLEN FOR
TELLING THE TRUTH...
>> MAYBE SHE'S, LIKE, SOME SUPER
SEXY FARMER'S DAUGHTER.
>> OR HIDING BEHIND LIES?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD
SMILE OR CRY.
>> WILL THEY FIND LOVE...
>> GUYS, GUYS, GUYS, GUYS.
>> OR HEARTACHE?
DEFINITELY DID NOT SEE THIS
COMING.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
RIGHT NOW.
>> NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, WE'RE
HERE TO HELP SOLVE THE MYSTERY.
>> I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S YOU.
>> HOPEFULLY FIND THE LIGHT AT
THE END OF THE TUNNEL IF IT'S,
YOU KNOW, HAPPY OR NOT.
>> WHAT ARE YOU BLATHERING
ABOUT?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
CATFISH THE MOVIE WAS MY STORY.
CATFISH: THE TV SHOW IS YOURS.
WHAT IS THAT?
I HAD IT ON MY BED.
I DON'T WANT IT.
>> IT'S A CLEAN SOCK IS...
>> WELL...
>> WHAT IT IS.
>> I DON'T WANT IT ON MY BED.
>> HOW DID YOU MISS ME?
>> IT WAS AN AWKWARD...SIDE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> OKAY.
LET'S SEE WHAT'S FRESH, WHAT'S
NEW, WHAT'S COMING IN.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS A GOOD ONE.
SUBJECT LINE: HELP ME MEET
SOMEONE I HAVE CATFISHED FOR
EIGHT MONTHS.
WHOA.
"DEAR NEV, MY NAME IS KYA, AND I
HAVE COME TO YOU FOR SOME HELP.
I HAVE BEEN DATING THIS GUY ALYX
FROM SWITZERLAND FOR EIGHT
MONTHS NOW.
I FIRST MET ALYX ON A WEBSITE
>> [laughs]
>> [laughs]
"I HAD CREATED A FAKE PROFILE
AND USED THE NAME ELLIE.
WE HAD GOTTEN PRETTY SERIOUS
REALLY FAST.
WE FELL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER.
WHEN HE MOVED TO CALIFORNIA, I
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME
TO COME CLEAN AND TELL HIM THE
TRUTH ABOUT WHO I WAS.
I DID, AND HE STILL LOVES ME.
HE HAPPENS TO BE THE LOVE OF MY
LIFE, AND I WOULD LOVE NOTHING
MORE THAN TO MEET HIM IN PERSON.
I'VE SEEN YOUR MOVIE CATFISH
AND THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE THE
PERFECT PERSON TO HELP ME.
SINCERELY, KYA."
WOW.
>> THIS SOUNDS JUICY.
>> INTERESTING STORY.
SHE SAYS SHE'S IN MEXICO,
MISSOURI.
HELLO?
>> HELLO?
>> HEY, HI, KYA.
HOW ARE THINGS IN MISSOURI?
>> VERY HOT.
>> TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT ALYX.
>> PRETTY GREAT GUY.
WE LIKE THE SAME MUSIC.
WE TELL EACH OTHER WE LOVE EACH
OTHER, LIKE, A GOOD 50 TIMES A
DAY, AND THEN WE JUST TALK ON
THE PHONE UNTIL WE FALL ASLEEP.
>> * THE WORLD IS OURS
* WHEN MY HAND'S IN YOURS *
* THE WORLD IS OURS
* WHEN MY HAND'S IN YOURS *
>> SO YOU WERE TALKING TO ALYX
WITH A DIFFERENT NAME AND WITH A
DIFFERENT PICTURE?
>> YEAH.
>> BUT I GUESS YOU'VE NEVER
SKYPED.
>> UH, NO.
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE A
COMPUTER OF HIS OWN, SO HE HAD
NO WAY TO SKYPE.
>> AND SO WHAT WAS HIS REACTION
WHEN YOU TOLD HIM THE TRUTH AND,
I GUESS, SENT HIM A PICTURE OF
YOURSELF?
>> HE PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME, "I
DON'T CARE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.
I LOVE YOU FOR YOU."
AND WE JUST MOVED ON FROM THAT.
>> HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE
WITH SOMEONE?
>> NOT LIKE THIS.
NO.
>> LIKE, MAYBE HE COULD BE THE--
>> POSSIBLY MARRYING HIM.
YES.
>> A LOT ON THE LINE HERE.
IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
WE'D LOVE TO HELP.
>> THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
>> [laughs]
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO
MEETING YOU AND HOPEFULLY
WATCHING YOU GUYS FALL IN LOVE
FOR REAL.
AND WHO KNOWS?
>> AWESOME.
>> BYE, KYA.
>> SEE YOU SOON.
>> BYE.
>> SO SHE CATFISHED HIM BUT
THEN CAME CLEAN.
BUT I GUESS WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT
HIS SIDE OF THE STORY.
>> I WANT...
>> I DO.
>> TRUE LOVE.
I WANT WEDDING BELLS.
>> HOW DO YOU KEEP ON REMAINING
SO GULLIBLE AND OPTIMISTIC?
>> YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND.
>> [laughs]
>> YEAH, BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN THERE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WELL, LET'S GET GOING.
>> * I SAID I'M GLAD *
* TO MEET YOU
* YOU KNOW I KNOW
* YOU KNOW I KNOW
* I SAID I'M GLAD TO MEET YOU *
>> MEXICO.
HOLA.
LOVE THIS TOWN.
CUTE.
>> YEAH, VERY--
>> SORT OF SHIRE-ESQUE.
>> YEAH.
LIKE A MUGGLE.
>> IT IS VERY FAIRY-TALE.
>> HI.
>> HEY.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M GOOD.
>> WOW, IT IS HOT OUT HERE.
>> YES, IT IS.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.
>> THIS IS--YOU KNOW MAX.
>> HI, MAX.
>> HI, KYA.
>> AND WE GOT THE GUYS HERE.
>> HI, KYA.
>> HI.
THIS IS MY MOM, LISA.
>> HI, HOW ARE YOU?
>> VERY NICE TO MEET YOU, LISA.
>> GOOD TO MEET YOU TOO.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING
US.
>> HI.
>> THIS IS MY GOOD FRIEND MAX.
>> HI.
>> HI, MAX, HOW ARE YOU?
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF ALL THIS?
>> IT'S DIFFERENT.
[laughs]
IT'S DIFFERENT.
>> WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT
ALYX?
>> THAT HE'S A NICE GUY, WHICH I
HOPE.
>> [laughs]
>> HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO HIM?
>> ONCE.
>> OH, YEAH, WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
>> HE SEEMED VERY NICE.
SO AS LONG AS IT'S A GOOD THING
AND IT WORKS OUT AND HE TREATS
HER WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT,
THAT'S WHAT I CARE ABOUT.
>> THIS IS VERY NICE.
>> WELL, THANK YOU.
WE JUST BUILT THIS.
>> SO LET ME ASK YOU, HOW DID
YOU END UP ON VAMPIREFREAKS?
>> I'VE BEEN ON THAT WEBSITE
SINCE I WAS, LIKE, 14.
>> WOW.
SO WHEN YOU FIRST WENT ON
VAMPIREFREAKS, WERE YOU ON
THERE AS YOURSELF?
>> YES.
BUT I WASN'T ALWAYS COMFORTABLE
WITH HOW I LOOKED, AND SO I'M
LIKE, "PEOPLE AREN'T GONNA TALK
TO ME."
SO I MADE DIFFERENT PROFILE
NAMES AND STUFF FOR MYSELF.
I'D USE DIFFERENT PICTURES EACH
TIME.
>> RIGHT.
>> BUT AFTER A WHILE, I HAD MET
ALYX.
>> NOW, DID HE MESSAGE YOU?
>> NO, I MESSAGED HIM.
I WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, BROWSING
THROUGH RANDOM PROFILES.
>> OKAY.
>> AND AT FIRST I DIDN'T REALLY
THINK I WAS EVER GONNA DATE ALYX
WITH HIM LIVING IN SWITZERLAND.
AND THEN IT GOT SERIOUS.
HE'S SUPER NICE.
LIKE, HE'S A REALLY GREAT GUY.
HE GENUINELY CARES ABOUT
EVERYONE HE COMES ACROSS.
I LOVE THAT BOY.
AS TIME WENT BY, I STARTED
FEELING MORE AND MORE GUILTY.
AND THEN FINALLY, WHEN HE MOVED
TO CALIFORNIA, I'M LIKE, "OKAY,
NOW IS THE TIME.
I MEAN, I REALLY LOVE HIM.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE HIM, BUT I
NEED TO TELL HIM THE TRUTH,"
SO I SENT HIM THE MESSAGE.
>> WELL, I'M VERY CURIOUS TO SEE
THIS MESSAGE.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH, LET'S GO INSIDE
AND CHECK IT OUT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO I TOLD HIM, YOU KNOW, "I LIED
TO YOU, I'M NOT WHO I SAID I
WAS."
>> AND THEN HE SAID, "I DON'T
CARE.
I STILL LOVE YOU AND WANT TO BE
WITH YOU."
WHAT'S THAT PICTURE?
>> WHAT'S THAT PICTURE?
>> IT'S A PICTURE OF ME, THE
FIRST PICTURE I SENT HIM OF WHAT
I LOOK LIKE.
>> AND THEN HE SAID, "I LOVE YOU
AND HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD
DAY AT WORK.
YOU'RE GORGEOUS, BABE."
WOW.
SO HE ACCEPTED AND MOVED--LIKE,
YOU GUYS MOVED ON FROM IT?
>> YEAH.
>> REALLY FAST.
OH, SO LET'S SEE HIS PROFILE ON
HERE.
>> WHAT'S HIS USER NAME?
>> BURNING SKYLINES.
>> HE'S 21.
IT STILL SAYS HE LIVES IN
GENEVA.
>> YEAH.
>> BUT HE'S SINCE MOVED.
PANSEXUAL? DOES THAT--
>> YEAH.
HE LOVES PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY
ARE, NOT SEX GENDER.
THAT DOESN'T BOTHER HIM.
AND THAT DOESN'T REALLY BOTHER
ME EITHER.
I'VE DATED GIRLS BEFORE, SO...
>> MORE IMPORTANTLY...
>> [laughs]
>> STATUS: ENGAGED.
>> YEAH.
YEAH, WE JUST SAID, YOU KNOW,
WE WERE ENGAGED BECAUSE HE ASKED
ME SEVERAL TIMES, AND I
JUST--YEAH, YEAH.
SO THAT'S HOW WE WENT.
>> PHEW.
WOW, IT'S BEEN QUITE
A LOVE AFFAIR.
>> YES.
>> PRETTY--YEAH, IT'S PRETTY
SERIOUS.
>> YEAH.
>> HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS WAY
ABOUT ANYONE?
>> NO.
NEVER.
EVER, EVER.
>> HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THIS
HAPPY?
>> NO.
THIS IS THE HAPPIEST I'VE BEEN
IN, LIKE, A LONG, LONG TIME.
IT'S AN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO
WITHOUT HIM.
>> HE'S DOWN TO MEET UP.
I MEAN, HE--HE WANTS YOU TO COME
SEE HIM, RIGHT?
IT'S NOT LIKE--
>> HE SAID THAT, "I WOULD LOVE
TO MEET YOU.
IT'S JUST MONEY AND SCHOOL."
>> RIGHT, I WOULD--
>> I THINK THAT I DID ASK HIM,
I'M LIKE, "IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU'RE HIDING FROM ME?"
AND HE TOLD ME NO, SO...
>> I THINK MAX AND I WILL LOOK
INTO IT...
>> OKAY.
>> SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.
>> I REALLY WANT TO MEET HIM,
YOU KNOW, NO MATTER WHAT.
>> WE'LL TALK REAL SOON, OKAY?
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> I'LL CALL YOU AS SOON AS WE
HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
>> ALL RIGHTY.
>> ALYX MUST HAVE SOMETHING
EQUALLY BIG TO HIDE.
AND I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD
JUST, WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT,
ACCEPT AS BIG OF A LIE AS THE
ONE THAT SHE TOLD.
>> SHE'S SO WILLING TO...
>> YEAH.
>> ACCEPT HIM UNDER ANY
CONDITIONS.
IT COULD WORK.
AND THAT'S AWESOME.
>> WEIRD, I DON'T REALLY LIKE
YOU FOLLOWING ME WITH
THE CAMERA.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY TO SAY.
>> [laughs]
>> ALL RIGHT, YOU READY TO ROCK?
>> I AM READY.
>> ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S JUST
START WITH ALYX'S PROFILE
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND OUT
ABOUT THIS GUY.
IT SAYS HERE THAT HE STUDIES AT
THE ART INSTITUTES.
>> WAIT, HE HAS TEN FRIENDS.
THEN WHAT DID WE SAY?
>> LIKE, WHEN SOMEONE HAS LESS
THAN 100 FRIENDS, IT'S WEIRD.
>> RIGHT?
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO HIS INTERNSHIP, IT SAYS ON
HIS FACEBOOK PAGE, IS AT CENTURY
MEDIA RECORDS.
>> SHOULD WE CALL THEM?
>> YEAH.
[line rings]
>> HI.
MY NAME IS MAX JOSEPH.
I'M A FILMMAKER.
I AM CALLING TO LOOK UP A
REFERENCE FOR SOMEONE I'M
THINKING ABOUT HIRING FOR A
PRODUCTION I'M DOING.
I HAVE THE RESUME OF A YOUNG MAN
NAMED ALYX DORIAN.
HE RECENTLY JUST MOVED FROM
SWITZERLAND TO, UH, TO, UH,
CALIFORNIA.
LIKE, IN THE LAST, LIKE...
>> MONTH.
>> MONTH.
OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
HELP.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
WE'VE GOT SOMETHING BIG HERE.
I THINK WE JUST FOUND OUT A LOT.
>> WELL, WE GOT--WE'RE ONTO
SOMETHING.
>> GO TO HIS WEB PAGE FOR A
SECOND.
NOTHING IS TAGGED, RIGHT?
IT SHOULD BE TAGGED.
THIS IS WEIRD.
DO YOU WANT TO RUN A FEW OF
THOSE PICTURES...
>> MM-HMM.
>> THROUGH GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH?
>> IMAGE IS A GOOD PLACE TO
START.
>> DEFINITELY.
>> I'M JUST GONNA TAKE A--TAKE A
BUNCH.
SHOULD WE JUST START WITH THOSE?
>> YEAH.
>> ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
HERE GOES A MOMENT OF TRUTH.
HERE WE GO.
>> ALL RIGHT, WE GOT ONE.
>> UGH!
>> CHRIS FROM GENEVA,
SWITZERLAND.
THIS IS, LIKE, THE ONE TIME I
DIDN'T WANT TO FIND ANYTHING.
>> [bleep].
WOW!
>> SO HOW MANY FRIENDS?
>> 500.
>> 500 FRIENDS.
>> OH, GOD, IT'S ALL--IT'S THE
EXACT--IT'S LITERALLY THE EXACT
SAME PHOTOS.
>> IT'S THE SAME PICTURES, AND
PEOPLE ARE TAGGED.
>> SO THIS IS PRETTY MAJOR.
WE FOUND A PROFILE...
>> WITH--
>> WITH ALL THE PHOTOS THAT...
>> THAT WERE ON ALYX DORIAN'S
SITE.
>> ALYX HAS POSTED ON HIS
PROFILE PAGE.
>> RIGHT.
>> EXCEPT THESE ARE ALL TAGGED,
PEOPLE HAVE COMMENTED.
>> HE HAS 500 FRIENDS...
>> RIGHT.
>> INSTEAD OF 10 FRIENDS.
>> RIGHT.
THERE'S OTHER PHOTOS THAT WE
HAVEN'T SEEN.
THIS GUY LOOKS--IS A MUCH MORE
LEGITIMATE PROFILE.
>> HE'S A REAL PERSON.
>> HUH.
>> SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
IT MEANS THAT THE PERSON SHE'S
BEEN TALKING TO IS A FAKE.
>> RIGHT.
>> NOW I THINK WE HAVE TO SHIFT
OUR SEARCH TO WHO IS ALYX
DORIAN?
>> NOW WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP SORT
OF DIGGING.
>> RIGHT.
>> HELLO.
>> HEY, MORNING, GUYS.
>> AFTER YOU, JOHN.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WELL, LOOK WHO DECIDES TO
SHOW UP.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> LET'S DIVE INTO THIS.
>> IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE STORY
ALYX HAS GIVEN KYA COULD JUST BE
A TOTAL LIE AND THAT HE'S USING
FAKE PICTURES.
SO MAYBE--I DON'T KNOW.
>> SHOULD WE DO A YELLOW PAGES,
A LITTLE PHONE LOOKUP?
I AM RUNNING ALYX'S PHONE NUMBER
THAT KYA GAVE ME.
>> IT'S NOT THIS GUY, THOUGH.
>> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
>> WHAT?
>> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
>> WHAT?
>> THIS IS A BLOG NAMED--BENEATH
SKYLINES IS HIS TAG.
>> SO WE PLUGGED IN THE PHONE
NUMBER, AND THIS BLOG CAME UP,
BENEATH SKYLINES.
WE'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE.
>> NO, THAT WAS BURNING
SKYLINES, WASN'T IT?
>> YEAH, WHO WAS THAT?
>> THAT WAS SOMETHING ELSE.
>> DUDE, THAT WAS VAMPIREFREAKS.
>> OH, MY GOD.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
THAT WAS ON HIS PROFILE.
I THINK HIS USER NAME WAS
BURNING SKYLINES, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
I THINK IT WAS BURNING SKYLINES.
>> THIS IS SOMETHING.
>> YEAH.
>> "I'M A WASTE OF SPACE.
NOBODY CARES.
THIS PLANET IS OVERCROWDED.
I'VE GOT NOTHING GOING FOR ME.
THE GIRL I LIKE WON'T TALK TO
ME.
I'M DONE.
NOTHING IN LIFE WORKS FOR ME.
THEY SAY WE ALL HAVE A REASON TO
BE HERE.
OH, REALLY?
WHAT'S MINE THEN?
ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SAY
GOOD-BYE, YOU CAN LEAVE A
MESSAGE AT THIS NUMBER."
HIS NUMBER.
>> WHOA.
>> WE NEED TO LOOK THIS GUY UP
ON FACEBOOK.
>> OKAY.
OKAY.
DANI AT THE ART INSTITUTE.
BOOM.
>> THAT'S OUR GUY.
SO THAT'S IT.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND OUT
ABOUT THIS GUY.
WAIT.
I THINK...IT COULD BE THIS--
>> NO.
>> THAT WOMAN.
>> NO.
>> YES.
WHEN I GO INTO THE PROFILE
PHOTOS, I FIND THE PHOTOS ARE
ALL OF THIS GIRL.
>> WHOA.
HOLD ON A MINUTE.
THAT'S--IS THAT HIM?
>> THAT'S A GIRL.
DANI.
DANIELLE.
WHATEVER.
I GET A SENSE THAT THE GUY SHE'S
BEEN TALKING TO IS ACTUALLY...
>> THIS GIRL DANIELLE.
>> THIS GIRL. RIGHT.
>> THE BIG SHOCKER IS THAT IT'S
A GIRL.
>> RIGHT.
DANI IS LISTED AS A MALE ON
FACEBOOK.
SUBSCRIBE TO DANI TO GET HIS
PUBLIC POSTS IN YOUR NEWS FEED.
SHE'S A WOMAN, BUT SHE
IDENTIFIES AS A MAN.
>> I'M GOING THROUGH HER BLOG
RIGHT NOW.
WHOA.
NEV, "YOU KNOW YOUR TRENDS WHEN,
NUMBER 2431, YOUR MUM, WITH THE
BEST OF INTENTIONS, TELLS YOU
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE HER PRECIOUS
SON/DAUGHTER, AND YOU FIND
YOURSELF THINKING, 'YES...
AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM.'"
>> SO MAYBE SHE IS TRANSGENDER,
WHICH WOULD ALSO MAKE SENSE.
SO THE QUESTION IS NOW...
WE SHOULD JUST GO TELL HER.
I THINK WE GOT TO FILL HER IN.
>> RIGHT.
>> I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING IS GIVING KYA THE UPPER
HAND AND SORT OF THE INFORMATION
THAT WE HAVE NOW SO THAT SHE CAN
BEST DECIDE HOW AND WHAT SHE
WANTS TO DO MOVING FORWARD.
>> AS USUAL, WE SHOULD BE PRETTY
DELICATE IN GIVING HER THE NEWS.
>> RIGHT.
IT'S A LOT TO SWALLOW.
>> IT'S A LOT TO SWALLOW.
>> I MEAN--
>> * BABY, YOU'RE MY GIRL *
>> THERE IT IS.
>> THAT'S WHERE SHE SAID SHE
WAS?
>> YEAH.
>> * TOGETHER FOREVER
>> HEY.
>> HELLO.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
THIS IS WHERE WE GO IN, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
WE'VE SPENT THE LAST 24 HOURS
JUST WITH OUR HEADS DEEP INSIDE
OF THIS.
>> WE HIT A LOT OF DEAD ENDS.
>> YEAH.
>> WOW.
>> WE'VE REALLY BEEN BANGING OUR
HEADS AGAINST THE WALL.
>> BUT WE KIND OF JUST KEPT
LOOKING.
>> MM-HMM.
FIND ANYTHING INTERESTING?
>> WE DID.
WE WENT ON HIS PROFILE, AND WE
DOWNLOADED A LOT OF HIS PHOTOS
FROM HIS PROFILE PICTURES, JUST
STARTED RUNNING THEM THROUGH
GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH.
AND ONE OF THEM WAS A HIT.
>> OKAY.
>> AND IT TOOK US TO A FACEBOOK
PROFILE.
OKAY?
AND IT TOOK US TO THIS FACEBOOK
PROFILE, A GUY NAMED CHRIS.
I'M SURE YOU RECOGNIZE ALL OF
THESE.
>> YEAH.
>> EVERY SINGLE PHOTO THAT'S ON
ALYX'S PROFILE IS ALSO ON THIS
GUY CHRIS' PROFILE.
>> MM-HMM.
>> EXCEPT HE ACTUALLY HAS A
COUPLE MORE.
ALYX IS NOT THIS GUY PHYSICALLY.
THE NEXT BIG THING THAT WE FOUND
WAS WE GOOGLED ALYX'S PHONE
NUMBER.
IT SHOWED UP ON THIS BLOG FOR A
GUY NAMED DANI.
SO I SAW THAT, I WAS LIKE, WOW.
SO WE LOOKED UP DANI ON
FACEBOOK, AND IT TOOK US TO THIS
PAGE.
THEY LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, AND
THIS IS DANI, THIS GIRL.
WE'RE ALMOST COMPLETELY SURE
THAT THE PERSON YOU'VE BEEN
TALKING TO IS ACTUALLY THIS
GIRL, DANI.
>> WHAT'S GOING THROUGH YOUR
MIND?
>> JUST A LOT.
IT'S...
DEFINITELY DIFFERENT.
I DID NOT EXPECT HIM TO MOST
LIKELY, MAYBE, POSSIBLY BE A
GIRL.
>> WE DIDN'T EITHER.
>> I'M JUST STILL, LIKE, A
LITTLE PISSED THAT, YOU KNOW,
AFTER I ASKED HIM THAT, DO YOU
HAVE ANYTHING THAT, YOU KNOW,
YOU'VE BEEN HIDING FROM ME, AND
THEY SAID NO.
THAT JUST, YOU KNOW, PISSES ME
OFF A LITTLE BIT, BUT--
>> FROM WHAT WE COULD TELL, DANI
IS CURIOUS ABOUT HER SEXUALITY
AND MAKES A LOT OF REFERENCES
AND RE-POSTS TO A BLOG FOR
TRANSGENDERED WOMEN.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT DANI WAS
REALLY TRANSGENDERED AND WAS
CURIOUS TO SEE, LIKE, HOW
COMMITTED AND REAL YOU COULD
FEEL ABOUT HER AS A MAN.
>> YEAH.
I'VE NEVER HONESTLY HAD A
PREFERENCE BETWEEN BOYS OR
GIRLS, BUT I THINK MY BRAIN JUST
FRIED ITSELF IN OVERLOAD OF
THINKING WHAT TO THINK.
[sighs]
IT'S DEFINITELY A BIG, BIG
CHANGE.
>> LIKE, I GUESS I DON'T REALLY
KNOW HOW I FEEL.
I MEAN, I GUESS I COULD
UNDERSTAND IF DANI'S TRANSGENDER
WHY HE WOULD CHOOSE A MALE
PERSONA, THE MALE PICTURES, WHY
DANI SOUNDS LIKE, TO ME, A MAN.
>> WHAT IS YOUR HEART SAYING AS
FAR AS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO NEXT?
>> I STILL WANT TO MEET--MEET
THE PERSON I'VE BEEN IN A
RELATIONSHIP FOR THE PAST EIGHT
MONTHS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> ARE YOU EXCITED?
NERVOUS?
HOW DOES IT FEEL IN YOUR BODY?
>> [sighs]
NERVOUS.
MY HANDS ARE SWEATY.
THIS IS WHY I'VE SHREDDED THIS
NAPKIN; MY HANDS ARE ALL SWEATY.
[sighs]
[phone rings]
>> HELLO?
>> HEY, ALYX?
>> HEY, IT'S NEV.
I'M A FRIEND OF KYA'S.
SHE REACHED OUT TO ME, UM,
TOLD ME THE STORY ABOUT HOW YOU
GUYS MET AND HOW YOU GUYS HAVE
BEEN TOGETHER.
AND I'VE BEEN HERE WITH HER FOR
A FEW DAYS.
SHE'S AMAZING, AS YOU ALREADY
KNOW.
I'M JUST CURIOUS, LIKE, IF
YOU COULD TELL ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH KYA'S MEANT TO YOU OVER THE
LAST EIGHT MONTHS.
WE'RE IN A POSITION TO, I
THINK, BRING KYA TO MEET YOU IF
YOU THINK THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO
DO THIS.
RIGHT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE GOING
INTO THIS THAT YOU'RE AS SERIOUS
AND INVESTED IN THIS AS SHE IS.
OKAY.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, THAT'S
WHAT I WANT, AND THAT'S
DEFINITELY WHAT KYA WANTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE READY TO GO.
ALL RIGHT, BYE.
>> BYE-BYE.
>> YOU READY?
>> YEAH.
>> READY TO FLY?
>> OH, MY GOD.
HERE WE GO.
NERVOUS?
>> I'VE JUST NEVER BEEN ON A
PLANE.
[laughs]
>> * PLEASE DON'T TELL ME *
* IT'S A DREAM *
* 'CAUSE I WANT SOMETHING *
* WITH A FEELING
* I WANT SOMETHING
* WITH A FEELING
>> HOW WAS IT?
>> IT WASN'T BAD.
>> ALL RIGHT.
YOU MADE IT.
ALL RIGHT.
HOW CAN TOMORROW REALLY CHANGE
YOUR FUTURE?
>> IT'S EITHER GONNA MAKE IT OR
BREAK IT.
>> WOW.
>> YOO-HOO.
HI.
YOU LOOK GREAT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> HEY, I'M GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD.
>> HOW YOU FEELING?
>> FEELING GREAT.
EXCITED.
>> THIS IS BIG, THIS IS IT.
THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN
WAITING FOR.
ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS US.
THIS IS OUR EXIT.
>> YES. [sighs]
>> FINAL THOUGHTS?
>> [sighs]
I'M JUST READY TO BE THERE.
>> THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE.
>> YEAH.
>> HE SAID GO IN THE BACK?
>> YEAH.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO DO THIS BEFORE I DECIDE
I WANT TO THROW UP.
>> LET'S TAKE OUR TIME.
WE CAN GO THROUGH HERE, RIGHT?
OKAY.
THIS IS THE BACK DOOR.
THIS IS ALSO A BACK DOOR.
I THINK--WHAT DO YOU THINK?
SHOULD WE TRY ANOTHER DOOR?
>> THE SIDE DOOR, I GUESS.
>> OVER HERE?
OH.
>> HI.
>> HEY.
>> HI.
>> HI. I'M NEV.
>> DANI.
>> HEY.
>> HEY.
>> HI.
>> HEY.
[laughs]
I WAS JUST NERVOUS AND DIDN'T
WANT TO LOSE YOU.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU IN
PERSON.
>> BUT AS I ALWAYS TOLD YOU, I'M
NOT GOING ANYWHERE, NO MATTER
WHAT.
>> I KNOW, IT'S--
>> YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME.
>> IT'S JUST STILL IN THE BACK
OF MY MIND.
THAT--JUST THAT FLAG, LIKE, "NO,
DON'T DO IT."
BUT I TOLD YOU NOW.
>> [laughs]
YEAH.
>> GO SIT AROUND BACK THERE.
I'M, LIKE, SHAKING.
I'M, LIKE, UGH.
>> OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE NOT EXACTLY
THE PERSON IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS.
>> YEAH.
[laughs]
>> SO YOU'RE TRANSGENDER?
>> YES.
>> YES.
AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN
THAT?
>> I THINK I WAS SIX.
I MIGHT HAVE BEEN YOUNGER.
I KNEW SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT
ABOUT ME.
AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
TRANSGENDER WAS, BUT I FELT LIKE
I'M NOT WHO I'M SUPPOSED TO BE.
I'M DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER
KIDS.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO VOICE IT OR
HOW TO REALLY MAKE IT, BUT THEN
WHEN I TURNED 18, I WAS LIKE,
"FINE, I'M GONNA SHAVE MY HEAD.
[bleep] IT.
I'M GONNA DRESS HOW I WANT.
I'M GONNA BUY MY OWN CLOTHES, DO
WHAT I WANT TO DO."
AND YEAH, I DID THAT.
AND THEN I WROTE MY PARENTS A
LETTER WHEN I WAS 20, AND NOW
THEY'VE KIND OF STARTED
ACCEPTING IT MORE.
RIGHT NOW I'M GOING THROUGH
HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY.
I HAD MY FIRST SHOT LAST FRIDAY.
>> WOW.
>> SO I'M CURRENTLY A WEEK AND
TWO DAYS ON TESTOSTERONE.
>> HOW MANY SHOTS?
>> I HAVE TO DO IT FOR THE REST
OF MY LIFE.
>> OH.
>> I'LL JUST GO LESS AND LESS
THROUGHOUT MY LIFETIME.
>> SO THAT'S--YOU'VE COMMITTED
TO THAT, WHICH IS A BIG
DECISION.
>> YES.
SURGERY-WISE, I WILL GET A
FULL HYSTERECTOMY DONE AND THE
MASTECTOMY DONE.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE
YET.
I'M USUALLY REALLY GOOD ABOUT
TELLING PEOPLE I'M TRANS IN THE
BEGINNING, LIKE, WITHIN THE
FIRST WEEK.
MOST OF THE TIME THEY WALK OUT.
SO I'M JUST USED TO IT.
BUT I WAS JUST AFRAID OF LOSING
HER.
I HAD THIS BOND WITH HER IN SUCH
A SHORT TIME THAT I'VE NEVER HAD
WITH ANYBODY ELSE THAT IT WAS
JUST LIKE, "I NEED TO DO WHAT I
NEEDED TO DO TO KEEP THIS FOR AS
LONG AS I CAN.
I DON'T WANT TO [bleep] IT UP.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT."
SO THAT'S WHY I JUST KEPT GOING
WITH IT.
>> WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS, I
GUESS, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THAT?
>> I MEAN, I HAVE NO PROBLEM
WITH IT.
YOU'RE STILL A MAN TO ME, SO...
>> [laughs]
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
>> THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THINGS.
>> THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
>> THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
I CARE ABOUT HIS PERSONALITY,
NOT THE LOOKS.
EXCEPT I LIKE REDHEADS, SO
LOOKS PLUS ADDED ONTO THAT.
>> THAT'S A PLUS.
>> I TOLD YOU I LOVE YOU NO
MATTER WHAT.
>> I KNOW.
>> YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME.
>> I'M JUST KIND OF ENJOYING
JUST LOOKING AT YOU GUYS
SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I MEAN, I NEVER COULD HAVE
PICTURED THIS SCENARIO, BUT--
>> IT FEELS AMAZING.
IT FEELS RIGHT.
>> YEAH.
IT FEELS REALLY RIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> AND I JUST--I CAN'T EXPLAIN
IT.
IT'S BETTER THAN WHAT I WAS
DREAMING AND EVERYTHING.
IT'S LIKE I CAN FINALLY HOLD
YOUR HAND AND JUST BE HERE WITH
YOU.
I DON'T HAVE TO, LIKE, SAY I'M
HOLDING YOUR HAND.
I CAN JUST DO IT.
>> YES.
GONNA SHOVE YOU IN MY SUITCASE
AND GO BACK HOME.
EVEN THOUGH MY SUITCASE
IS, LIKE, ONLY THIS BIG.
>> [laughs]
ALL THE WORDS IN THE WEBSTER
DICTIONARY, ALL THE WORDS IN THE
UNIVERSE, EVERY LANGUAGE, THERE
IS NO AMOUNT OF WORDS THAT CAN
SUM UP MY FEELINGS FOR HER.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE PHYSICALLY
IN MY BEING TO UNDERSTAND MY
LOVE FOR HER.
>> JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE.
>> ME TOO.
I LOVE YOU.
>> I LOVE YOU TOO.
>> I REALLY DON'T WANT THIS DAY
TO END.
>> WELL, SO ARE YOU GONNA
EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO HER?
>> YEAH.
>> PHEW.
HOW DO YOU THINK THAT'S GONNA
GO?
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
>> THIS IS THE ARTS AND ANTIQUE
ROW, LIKE ARTS COLONY AND STUFF.
YEAH, THAT'S A BAR.
[laughs]
IT'S WHATEVER.
I HAVE THIS HUGE RELIEF OFF MY
CHEST
LIKE, I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT KEEPING UP THIS LIE TO
YOU.
>> YEAH.
IT IS A RELIEF.
>> * IT'S SO COLD *
* THE WEATHER TONIGHT
* I THROW A COAT ON
* AND I GO OUTSIDE
* OOH, OOH
* ALL RIGHT
* HAPPINESS
* IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR *
>> [laughs]
>> STOP LAUGHING.
>> I CAN'T HELP IT.
I TOLD YOU I FEEL LIKE I'M 16
AGAIN.
* 16
>> * ALL RIGHT
>> HEY.
>> SO?
>> SO?
>> HOW DID IT GO?
>> IT WENT GOOD.
>> YEAH?
>> YEAH.
>> SO WHAT'S THE STATUS FOR YOU
GUYS, DO YOU THINK?
>> WE'RE STILL BOYFRIEND AND
GIRLFRIEND.
>> SO--WOW, OKAY.
SO REALLY BOYFRIEND AND
GIRLFRIEND?
>> YES.
>> AMAZING.
>> SO IT'S ON? GAME ON?
>> GAME'S ON.
>> LIFE IS GOOD.
>> LIFE IS VERY GOOD.
[laughs]
>> SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO
TODAY?
I MEAN, WE'RE HERE.
WE'VE GOT--YOU'VE GOT TEN MORE
HOURS IN L.A., MAYBE A LITTLE
LESS.
WHAT'S--WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA?
>> GO TO THE BEACH AND PROBABLY
CALL MY MOM AND TELL HER
EVERYTHING.
>> OH.
YOU'RE GONNA EXPLAIN TO HER THAT
ALYX IS REALLY DANI AND HER--
>> YEAH, SHE'LL BE VERY CONFUSED
IF I JUST SAY...
>> RIGHT.
>> "I'M DATING DANI."
>> RIGHT.
>> SHE'S GONNA BE, "WHO THE
HELL IS DANI?"
>> DOES YOUR MOM KNOW AT ALL
THAT YOU'VE HAD RELATIONSHIPS
WITH GIRLS BEFORE?
>> NO.
>> OH. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
>> SO THIS IS LIKE--
>> BUT, LIKE, THIS ONE--DANI
DOESN'T REALLY COUNT AS A GIRL.
>> YOU KNOW--YOU UNDERSTAND--
>> SO ARE YOU GONNA EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING TO HER?
>> YEAH. YEAH.
>> PHEW.
WHAT DO YOU THINK--HOW DO YOU
THINK THAT'S GONNA GO?
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
>> WOW.
[phone rings]
>> HELLO?
>> HELLO.
I'M GOOD.
UM, WELL, I GOT TO MEET HIM
YESTERDAY, AND IT TURNED OUT
AMAZING, BUT I HAVE A FEW THINGS
TO TELL YOU.
UM, I LIED TO YOU ABOUT SKYPING
WITH HIM FIRST.
I NEVER TALKED TO HIM VIA WEB
CAM BEFORE.
AND ALYX...
>> UH-HUH.
>> WASN'T WHO HE SAID HE WAS.
UM, HIS NAME IS DANI.
HE IS 21.
HOME LIFE IS ALL THE SAME.
JUST PICTURES WERE DIFFERENT.
PICTURES AND NAME WERE
DIFFERENT.
AND THEN HE TOLD ME THE TRUTH,
AND I GOT TO MEET HIM YESTERDAY.
AND I STILL VERY, VERY MUCH LOVE
HIM.
HE'S VERY, VERY NICE.
BUT I ALSO WANTED TO TELL YOU
THAT DANI IS TRANSGENDER.
UM, DANI IS STILL TECHNICALLY
AND LEGALLY A GIRL BUT
IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS A BOY.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I'M PERFECTLY OKAY WITH ALL
OF THIS.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE PERSON
HE WAS, NOT FOR WHAT HE LOOKED
LIKE, SO...
YEAH.
AND HE DOES.
WE HAD FUN LAST NIGHT.
BUT--
ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'M GONNA GET
OFF HERE, SO WE CAN GO SEE DANI.
ALL RIGHT, I LOVE YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
BYE.
[laughs] I HAVE AN AMAZING MOM.
NOW I'M JUST READY TO GO SEE
DANI.
>> AND NOW MORE
CATFISH: THE TV SHOW.
STICK AROUND.
ALL RIGHT, WE ARE HERE.
>> SMELLS SO FISHY.
>> TAKE YOUR SANDALS OFF.
>> I WILL.
OH, [bleep].
THAT'S COLD.
[both laugh]
>> YEP.
>> [gasp]
>> OH, OH, OH, OH.
>> YEAH.
THAT'S COLD.
BACKING UP NOW.
>> [laughs]
>> JUST WATCHING YOU GUYS
TOGETHER IS REALLY GREAT.
HOW'S IT FEEL?
>> AMAZING.
LIKE, THAT'S NOT EVEN THE WORD
FOR IT.
IT'S JUST INDESCRIBABLE.
>> IT'S JUST AMAZING TO BE HERE
WITH HIM, TO SEE HIM, TO TOUCH
HIM, TO KISS HIM.
IT'S LIKE THAT YOU OPEN THE
CHRISTMAS PRESENT, THE CHRISTMAS
PRESENT YOU ALWAYS, ALWAYS
WANTED, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO SAY.
YOU CAN'T EVEN SAY THANK YOU OR
SMILE.
YOU JUST--YOU'RE THAT HAPPY.
>> SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, LIKE,
WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE FOR YOU
GROWING UP, KNOWING FROM AN
EARLY AGE?
>> IT WASN'T EASY.
I WAS BULLIED IN HIGH SCHOOL,
BULLIED JUST THROUGHOUT SCHOOL.
I'VE BEEN PHYSICALLY BEAT DOWN,
I'VE BEEN PHYSICALLY HIT.
I'VE BEEN PANTSED IN PUBLIC.
>> BY GUYS?
>> BY GUYS.
BEFORE I IDENTI--LIKE, FULLY
CAME OUT AS TRANS, I IDENTIFIED
AS LESBIAN.
AND THEN I WAS LIKE, "NO, THIS
STILL ISN'T RIGHT."
SO THEN I RESEARCHED THINGS.
I WAS LIKE, "OH, TRANSGENDER.
THAT'S WHAT I AM."
>> SO IN SOME WAYS, FOR YOU,
THIS EXPERIENCE IS KIND OF LIKE
A BIG--
>> WELL, IT'S A VERY BIG STEP
BECAUSE IT'S JUST LIKE, THAT'S
SOMETHING I'M ALWAYS CONSTANTLY
THINKING ABOUT.
LIKE, "AM I PASSING?
DO I--DO I LOOK MALE ENOUGH
TODAY?"
AND STUFF LIKE--BUT, LIKE, WITH
HER THERE AND CONSTANTLY
ENSURING OTHERS, LIKE, "HE" AND,
"THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND," STUFF
LIKE--THAT'S AWESOME.
IT, LIKE, GIVES ME THAT LITTLE,
"YAY!
SOMEBODY'S ACTUALLY SAYING IT
BESIDES MYSELF."
SO IT'S JUST--IT'S THOSE LITTLE
THINGS THAT ARE LIKE, "YES!
THAT'S AWESOME!"
THEY JUST GIVE ME, LIKE, THIS
AWESOME FEELING.
SO I DON'T WANT IT TO END.
I DON'T WANT IT TO STOP.
LIKE...
I'M, LIKE, NOT REALLY--I
REALLY DON'T WANT THIS DAY TO
END BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN
I'M GONNA SEE HER AGAIN.
>> THE "I MISS YOU"S WILL
DEFINITELY BE DIFFERENT.
SADDER KNOWING THAT I REALLY,
YOU KNOW, GOT TO BE WITH HIM AND
THAT I REALLY WILL MISS HIM.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
>> IT'S LIKE I'M TRYING NOT TO
THINK ABOUT THAT, SO I CAN JUST
ENJOY IT WITH HER TODAY, BUT--I
AM ENJOYING MYSELF, BUT IT'S
JUST STILL IN THE BACK OF MY
MIND, SHE'S GOING HOME TODAY,
SO...
AND YEAH, THERE'S SKYPE
AND WHATEVER, BUT IT'S NOT THE
SAME BECAUSE SHE'S NOT HERE.
>> YOU READY?
[camera shutter clicks]
HOLD ON.
[click]
OKAY.
>> * NOTHING'S GONNA BREAK *
*
* NOTHING'S GONNA BREAK *
* US DOWN
>> I LOVE YOU.
>> I LOVE YOU TOO.
I KNOW.
>> * I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE *
* WHAT I DID WAY BACK THEN
>> I KNOW.
>> KYA.
>> both: HEY.
>> WOW.
LOOK AT YOU.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
>> GREAT.
HOW ARE THINGS WITH YOU AND
DANI?
AW.
>> JUST AFTER THIS I'M GOING TO
A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT FOR,
LIKE, I THINK IT'S MY SEVENTH
SHOT NOW.
>> WOW.
SO WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU GUYS?
>> IN, LIKE, TWO WEEKS I'LL BE
FLYING OUT FOR, LIKE, A WEEK TO
VISIT WITH KYA AND HER FAMILY.
>> YOU MUST BE EXCITED.
>> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MOVING
IN TOGETHER.
AND I'M LIKE, "YEAH!"
>> [laughs]
>> SO...
>> SO COMING CLEAN AND BEING
HONEST HAS MADE YOU GUYS EVEN
CLOSER?
>> both: YEAH.
>> BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE OUR
RELATIONSHIP REALLY STARTED
UNTIL WE MET.
LIKE, THAT IS WHEN IT STARTED.
>> AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL LET YOU LITTLE
LOVEBIRDS GO.
TALK SOON.
BYE.
>> BYE, GUYS.
>> YOU GET MESSAGED BY THIS
CELEBRITY.
>> MISS TEEN USA.
>> RIGHT, I MEAN, WE DON'T KNOW
IF SHE'S REAL.
YOU'RE READY TO TAKE THAT
CHANCE?
>> YEAH.
>> I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIS FACE
WHEN WE GIVE HIM THE
UNBELIEVABLE NEWS THAT THIS
COULD BE HIS DREAM GIRL.
>> I BELIEVE THAT IT'S HER.
MAYBE HE HAS A SHOT WITH HER.
>> I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS NOW.
>> FINAL COUNTDOWN.
>> THERE'S A CAR RIGHT THERE.
1338
00:40:58.
[knocks on door]
PHEW.
I'M NERVOUS.
OH.
HI, I'M NEV.
A COUPLE YEARS AGO, I FELL IN
LOVE ONLINE.
TURNS OUT, MY CRUSH WASN'T WHO
I THOUGHT SHE WAS.
I THOUGHT I FELL IN LOVE WITH
MEGAN, BUT MEGAN WAS REALLY
ANGELA.
I WAS HEARTBROKEN.
BUT THE WEIRDEST PART OF IT ALL,
ANGELA AND I ACTUALLY BECAME
FRIENDS.
NOT ONLY THAT, MY BROTHER AND
HIS FILMMAKING PARTNER SHOT
THE WHOLE THING AND TURNED IT
INTO A DOCUMENTARY THAT WAS
A PRETTY BIG HIT.
SUDDENLY, MY INBOX WAS
EXPLODING WITH EMAILS.
"WHEN I SAW YOUR MOVIE CATFISH,
I COULDN'T BELIEVE
THE SIMILARITIES."
IT FELT LIKE EVERYONE ON
THE INTERNET WANTED TO TELL ME
ABOUT THEIR BIZARRE ONLINE
ROMANCE.
I COULD JUST PURSUE EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF THESE LEADS, AND
WE SHOULD MAKE A SHOW OF IT.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE DECIDED TO DO.
I'M HITTING THE ROAD WITH MY
FILMMAKER BUDDY MAX AND A CREW
FROM MTV TO HELP PEOPLE MEET
THEIR ONLINE LOVES FOR THE FIRST
TIME.
OKAY, I THINK THIS IS IT.
IT'S GO TIME RIGHT NOW.
>> GO TIME.
>> ALL RIGHT.
IS THE PERSON THEY'VE FALLEN FOR
TELLING THE TRUTH...
>> MAYBE SHE'S, LIKE, SOME SUPER
SEXY FARMER'S DAUGHTER.
>> OR HIDING BEHIND LIES?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD
SMILE OR CRY.
>> WILL THEY FIND LOVE...
>> GUYS, GUYS, GUYS, GUYS.
>> OR HEARTACHE?
DEFINITELY DID NOT SEE THIS
COMING.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
RIGHT NOW.
>> NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, WE'RE
HERE TO HELP SOLVE THE MYSTERY.
>> I CANNOT BELIEVE IT'S YOU.
>> HOPEFULLY FIND THE LIGHT AT
THE END OF THE TUNNEL IF IT'S,
YOU KNOW, HAPPY OR NOT.
>> WHAT ARE YOU BLATHERING
ABOUT?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
CATFISH THE MOVIE WAS MY STORY.
CATFISH: THE TV SHOW IS YOURS.
WHAT IS THAT?
I HAD IT ON MY BED.
I DON'T WANT IT.
>> IT'S A CLEAN SOCK IS...
>> WELL...
>> WHAT IT IS.
>> I DON'T WANT IT ON MY BED.
>> HOW DID YOU MISS ME?
>> IT WAS AN AWKWARD...SIDE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> OKAY.
LET'S SEE WHAT'S FRESH, WHAT'S
NEW, WHAT'S COMING IN.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS A GOOD ONE.
SUBJECT LINE: HELP ME MEET
SOMEONE I HAVE CATFISHED FOR
EIGHT MONTHS.
WHOA.
"DEAR NEV, MY NAME IS KYA, AND I
HAVE COME TO YOU FOR SOME HELP.
I HAVE BEEN DATING THIS GUY ALYX
FROM SWITZERLAND FOR EIGHT
MONTHS NOW.
I FIRST MET ALYX ON A WEBSITE
>> [laughs]
>> [laughs]
"I HAD CREATED A FAKE PROFILE
AND USED THE NAME ELLIE.
WE HAD GOTTEN PRETTY SERIOUS
REALLY FAST.
WE FELL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER.
WHEN HE MOVED TO CALIFORNIA, I
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD TIME
TO COME CLEAN AND TELL HIM THE
TRUTH ABOUT WHO I WAS.
I DID, AND HE STILL LOVES ME.
HE HAPPENS TO BE THE LOVE OF MY
LIFE, AND I WOULD LOVE NOTHING
MORE THAN TO MEET HIM IN PERSON.
I'VE SEEN YOUR MOVIE CATFISH
AND THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE THE
PERFECT PERSON TO HELP ME.
SINCERELY, KYA."
WOW.
>> THIS SOUNDS JUICY.
>> INTERESTING STORY.
SHE SAYS SHE'S IN MEXICO,
MISSOURI.
HELLO?
>> HELLO?
>> HEY, HI, KYA.
HOW ARE THINGS IN MISSOURI?
>> VERY HOT.
>> TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT ALYX.
>> PRETTY GREAT GUY.
WE LIKE THE SAME MUSIC.
WE TELL EACH OTHER WE LOVE EACH
OTHER, LIKE, A GOOD 50 TIMES A
DAY, AND THEN WE JUST TALK ON
THE PHONE UNTIL WE FALL ASLEEP.
>> * THE WORLD IS OURS
* WHEN MY HAND'S IN YOURS *
* THE WORLD IS OURS
* WHEN MY HAND'S IN YOURS *
>> SO YOU WERE TALKING TO ALYX
WITH A DIFFERENT NAME AND WITH A
DIFFERENT PICTURE?
>> YEAH.
>> BUT I GUESS YOU'VE NEVER
SKYPED.
>> UH, NO.
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE A
COMPUTER OF HIS OWN, SO HE HAD
NO WAY TO SKYPE.
>> AND SO WHAT WAS HIS REACTION
WHEN YOU TOLD HIM THE TRUTH AND,
I GUESS, SENT HIM A PICTURE OF
YOURSELF?
>> HE PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME, "I
DON'T CARE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.
I LOVE YOU FOR YOU."
AND WE JUST MOVED ON FROM THAT.
>> HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN LOVE
WITH SOMEONE?
>> NOT LIKE THIS.
NO.
>> LIKE, MAYBE HE COULD BE THE--
>> POSSIBLY MARRYING HIM.
YES.
>> A LOT ON THE LINE HERE.
IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
WE'D LOVE TO HELP.
>> THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.
>> [laughs]
REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO
MEETING YOU AND HOPEFULLY
WATCHING YOU GUYS FALL IN LOVE
FOR REAL.
AND WHO KNOWS?
>> AWESOME.
>> BYE, KYA.
>> SEE YOU SOON.
>> BYE.
>> SO SHE CATFISHED HIM BUT
THEN CAME CLEAN.
BUT I GUESS WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT
HIS SIDE OF THE STORY.
>> I WANT...
>> I DO.
>> TRUE LOVE.
I WANT WEDDING BELLS.
>> HOW DO YOU KEEP ON REMAINING
SO GULLIBLE AND OPTIMISTIC?
>> YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND.
>> [laughs]
>> YEAH, BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN THERE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WELL, LET'S GET GOING.
>> * I SAID I'M GLAD *
* TO MEET YOU
* YOU KNOW I KNOW
* YOU KNOW I KNOW
* I SAID I'M GLAD TO MEET YOU *
>> MEXICO.
HOLA.
LOVE THIS TOWN.
CUTE.
>> YEAH, VERY--
>> SORT OF SHIRE-ESQUE.
>> YEAH.
LIKE A MUGGLE.
>> IT IS VERY FAIRY-TALE.
>> HI.
>> HEY.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M GOOD.
>> WOW, IT IS HOT OUT HERE.
>> YES, IT IS.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU TOO.
>> THIS IS--YOU KNOW MAX.
>> HI, MAX.
>> HI, KYA.
>> AND WE GOT THE GUYS HERE.
>> HI, KYA.
>> HI.
THIS IS MY MOM, LISA.
>> HI, HOW ARE YOU?
>> VERY NICE TO MEET YOU, LISA.
>> GOOD TO MEET YOU TOO.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING
US.
>> HI.
>> THIS IS MY GOOD FRIEND MAX.
>> HI.
>> HI, MAX, HOW ARE YOU?
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF ALL THIS?
>> IT'S DIFFERENT.
[laughs]
IT'S DIFFERENT.
>> WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT
ALYX?
>> THAT HE'S A NICE GUY, WHICH I
HOPE.
>> [laughs]
>> HAVE YOU SPOKEN TO HIM?
>> ONCE.
>> OH, YEAH, WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
>> HE SEEMED VERY NICE.
SO AS LONG AS IT'S A GOOD THING
AND IT WORKS OUT AND HE TREATS
HER WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT,
THAT'S WHAT I CARE ABOUT.
>> THIS IS VERY NICE.
>> WELL, THANK YOU.
WE JUST BUILT THIS.
>> SO LET ME ASK YOU, HOW DID
YOU END UP ON VAMPIREFREAKS?
>> I'VE BEEN ON THAT WEBSITE
SINCE I WAS, LIKE, 14.
>> WOW.
SO WHEN YOU FIRST WENT ON
VAMPIREFREAKS, WERE YOU ON
THERE AS YOURSELF?
>> YES.
BUT I WASN'T ALWAYS COMFORTABLE
WITH HOW I LOOKED, AND SO I'M
LIKE, "PEOPLE AREN'T GONNA TALK
TO ME."
SO I MADE DIFFERENT PROFILE
NAMES AND STUFF FOR MYSELF.
I'D USE DIFFERENT PICTURES EACH
TIME.
>> RIGHT.
>> BUT AFTER A WHILE, I HAD MET
ALYX.
>> NOW, DID HE MESSAGE YOU?
>> NO, I MESSAGED HIM.
I WAS JUST, YOU KNOW, BROWSING
THROUGH RANDOM PROFILES.
>> OKAY.
>> AND AT FIRST I DIDN'T REALLY
THINK I WAS EVER GONNA DATE ALYX
WITH HIM LIVING IN SWITZERLAND.
AND THEN IT GOT SERIOUS.
HE'S SUPER NICE.
LIKE, HE'S A REALLY GREAT GUY.
HE GENUINELY CARES ABOUT
EVERYONE HE COMES ACROSS.
I LOVE THAT BOY.
AS TIME WENT BY, I STARTED
FEELING MORE AND MORE GUILTY.
AND THEN FINALLY, WHEN HE MOVED
TO CALIFORNIA, I'M LIKE, "OKAY,
NOW IS THE TIME.
I MEAN, I REALLY LOVE HIM.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE HIM, BUT I
NEED TO TELL HIM THE TRUTH,"
SO I SENT HIM THE MESSAGE.
>> WELL, I'M VERY CURIOUS TO SEE
THIS MESSAGE.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH, LET'S GO INSIDE
AND CHECK IT OUT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO I TOLD HIM, YOU KNOW, "I LIED
TO YOU, I'M NOT WHO I SAID I
WAS."
>> AND THEN HE SAID, "I DON'T
CARE.
I STILL LOVE YOU AND WANT TO BE
WITH YOU."
WHAT'S THAT PICTURE?
>> WHAT'S THAT PICTURE?
>> IT'S A PICTURE OF ME, THE
FIRST PICTURE I SENT HIM OF WHAT
I LOOK LIKE.
>> AND THEN HE SAID, "I LOVE YOU
AND HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD
DAY AT WORK.
YOU'RE GORGEOUS, BABE."
WOW.
SO HE ACCEPTED AND MOVED--LIKE,
YOU GUYS MOVED ON FROM IT?
>> YEAH.
>> REALLY FAST.
OH, SO LET'S SEE HIS PROFILE ON
HERE.
>> WHAT'S HIS USER NAME?
>> BURNING SKYLINES.
>> HE'S 21.
IT STILL SAYS HE LIVES IN
GENEVA.
>> YEAH.
>> BUT HE'S SINCE MOVED.
PANSEXUAL? DOES THAT--
>> YEAH.
HE LOVES PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY
ARE, NOT SEX GENDER.
THAT DOESN'T BOTHER HIM.
AND THAT DOESN'T REALLY BOTHER
ME EITHER.
I'VE DATED GIRLS BEFORE, SO...
>> MORE IMPORTANTLY...
>> [laughs]
>> STATUS: ENGAGED.
>> YEAH.
YEAH, WE JUST SAID, YOU KNOW,
WE WERE ENGAGED BECAUSE HE ASKED
ME SEVERAL TIMES, AND I
JUST--YEAH, YEAH.
SO THAT'S HOW WE WENT.
>> PHEW.
WOW, IT'S BEEN QUITE
A LOVE AFFAIR.
>> YES.
>> PRETTY--YEAH, IT'S PRETTY
SERIOUS.
>> YEAH.
>> HAVE YOU EVER FELT THIS WAY
ABOUT ANYONE?
>> NO.
NEVER.
EVER, EVER.
>> HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THIS
HAPPY?
>> NO.
THIS IS THE HAPPIEST I'VE BEEN
IN, LIKE, A LONG, LONG TIME.
IT'S AN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO
WITHOUT HIM.
>> HE'S DOWN TO MEET UP.
I MEAN, HE--HE WANTS YOU TO COME
SEE HIM, RIGHT?
IT'S NOT LIKE--
>> HE SAID THAT, "I WOULD LOVE
TO MEET YOU.
IT'S JUST MONEY AND SCHOOL."
>> RIGHT, I WOULD--
>> I THINK THAT I DID ASK HIM,
I'M LIKE, "IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU'RE HIDING FROM ME?"
AND HE TOLD ME NO, SO...
>> I THINK MAX AND I WILL LOOK
INTO IT...
>> OKAY.
>> SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.
>> I REALLY WANT TO MEET HIM,
YOU KNOW, NO MATTER WHAT.
>> WE'LL TALK REAL SOON, OKAY?
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> I'LL CALL YOU AS SOON AS WE
HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
>> ALL RIGHTY.
>> ALYX MUST HAVE SOMETHING
EQUALLY BIG TO HIDE.
AND I DON'T THINK ANYONE WOULD
JUST, WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT,
ACCEPT AS BIG OF A LIE AS THE
ONE THAT SHE TOLD.
>> SHE'S SO WILLING TO...
>> YEAH.
>> ACCEPT HIM UNDER ANY
CONDITIONS.
IT COULD WORK.
AND THAT'S AWESOME.
>> WEIRD, I DON'T REALLY LIKE
YOU FOLLOWING ME WITH
THE CAMERA.
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY TO SAY.
>> [laughs]
>> ALL RIGHT, YOU READY TO ROCK?
>> I AM READY.
>> ALL RIGHT, SO LET'S JUST
START WITH ALYX'S PROFILE
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND OUT
ABOUT THIS GUY.
IT SAYS HERE THAT HE STUDIES AT
THE ART INSTITUTES.
>> WAIT, HE HAS TEN FRIENDS.
THEN WHAT DID WE SAY?
>> LIKE, WHEN SOMEONE HAS LESS
THAN 100 FRIENDS, IT'S WEIRD.
>> RIGHT?
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO HIS INTERNSHIP, IT SAYS ON
HIS FACEBOOK PAGE, IS AT CENTURY
MEDIA RECORDS.
>> SHOULD WE CALL THEM?
>> YEAH.
[line rings]
>> HI.
MY NAME IS MAX JOSEPH.
I'M A FILMMAKER.
I AM CALLING TO LOOK UP A
REFERENCE FOR SOMEONE I'M
THINKING ABOUT HIRING FOR A
PRODUCTION I'M DOING.
I HAVE THE RESUME OF A YOUNG MAN
NAMED ALYX DORIAN.
HE RECENTLY JUST MOVED FROM
SWITZERLAND TO, UH, TO, UH,
CALIFORNIA.
LIKE, IN THE LAST, LIKE...
>> MONTH.
>> MONTH.
OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
HELP.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
WE'VE GOT SOMETHING BIG HERE.
I THINK WE JUST FOUND OUT A LOT.
>> WELL, WE GOT--WE'RE ONTO
SOMETHING.
>> GO TO HIS WEB PAGE FOR A
SECOND.
NOTHING IS TAGGED, RIGHT?
IT SHOULD BE TAGGED.
THIS IS WEIRD.
DO YOU WANT TO RUN A FEW OF
THOSE PICTURES...
>> MM-HMM.
>> THROUGH GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH?
>> IMAGE IS A GOOD PLACE TO
START.
>> DEFINITELY.
>> I'M JUST GONNA TAKE A--TAKE A
BUNCH.
SHOULD WE JUST START WITH THOSE?
>> YEAH.
>> ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
HERE GOES A MOMENT OF TRUTH.
HERE WE GO.
>> ALL RIGHT, WE GOT ONE.
>> UGH!
>> CHRIS FROM GENEVA,
SWITZERLAND.
THIS IS, LIKE, THE ONE TIME I
DIDN'T WANT TO FIND ANYTHING.
>> [bleep].
WOW!
>> SO HOW MANY FRIENDS?
>> 500.
>> 500 FRIENDS.
>> OH, GOD, IT'S ALL--IT'S THE
EXACT--IT'S LITERALLY THE EXACT
SAME PHOTOS.
>> IT'S THE SAME PICTURES, AND
PEOPLE ARE TAGGED.
>> SO THIS IS PRETTY MAJOR.
WE FOUND A PROFILE...
>> WITH--
>> WITH ALL THE PHOTOS THAT...
>> THAT WERE ON ALYX DORIAN'S
SITE.
>> ALYX HAS POSTED ON HIS
PROFILE PAGE.
>> RIGHT.
>> EXCEPT THESE ARE ALL TAGGED,
PEOPLE HAVE COMMENTED.
>> HE HAS 500 FRIENDS...
>> RIGHT.
>> INSTEAD OF 10 FRIENDS.
>> RIGHT.
THERE'S OTHER PHOTOS THAT WE
HAVEN'T SEEN.
THIS GUY LOOKS--IS A MUCH MORE
LEGITIMATE PROFILE.
>> HE'S A REAL PERSON.
>> HUH.
>> SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
IT MEANS THAT THE PERSON SHE'S
BEEN TALKING TO IS A FAKE.
>> RIGHT.
>> NOW I THINK WE HAVE TO SHIFT
OUR SEARCH TO WHO IS ALYX
DORIAN?
>> NOW WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP SORT
OF DIGGING.
>> RIGHT.
>> HELLO.
>> HEY, MORNING, GUYS.
>> AFTER YOU, JOHN.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WELL, LOOK WHO DECIDES TO
SHOW UP.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> LET'S DIVE INTO THIS.
>> IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE STORY
ALYX HAS GIVEN KYA COULD JUST BE
A TOTAL LIE AND THAT HE'S USING
FAKE PICTURES.
SO MAYBE--I DON'T KNOW.
>> SHOULD WE DO A YELLOW PAGES,
A LITTLE PHONE LOOKUP?
I AM RUNNING ALYX'S PHONE NUMBER
THAT KYA GAVE ME.
>> IT'S NOT THIS GUY, THOUGH.
>> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
>> WHAT?
>> WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
>> WHAT?
>> THIS IS A BLOG NAMED--BENEATH
SKYLINES IS HIS TAG.
>> SO WE PLUGGED IN THE PHONE
NUMBER, AND THIS BLOG CAME UP,
BENEATH SKYLINES.
WE'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE.
>> NO, THAT WAS BURNING
SKYLINES, WASN'T IT?
>> YEAH, WHO WAS THAT?
>> THAT WAS SOMETHING ELSE.
>> DUDE, THAT WAS VAMPIREFREAKS.
>> OH, MY GOD.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
THAT WAS ON HIS PROFILE.
I THINK HIS USER NAME WAS
BURNING SKYLINES, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
I THINK IT WAS BURNING SKYLINES.
>> THIS IS SOMETHING.
>> YEAH.
>> "I'M A WASTE OF SPACE.
NOBODY CARES.
THIS PLANET IS OVERCROWDED.
I'VE GOT NOTHING GOING FOR ME.
THE GIRL I LIKE WON'T TALK TO
ME.
I'M DONE.
NOTHING IN LIFE WORKS FOR ME.
THEY SAY WE ALL HAVE A REASON TO
BE HERE.
OH, REALLY?
WHAT'S MINE THEN?
ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SAY
GOOD-BYE, YOU CAN LEAVE A
MESSAGE AT THIS NUMBER."
HIS NUMBER.
>> WHOA.
>> WE NEED TO LOOK THIS GUY UP
ON FACEBOOK.
>> OKAY.
OKAY.
DANI AT THE ART INSTITUTE.
BOOM.
>> THAT'S OUR GUY.
SO THAT'S IT.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND OUT
ABOUT THIS GUY.
WAIT.
I THINK...IT COULD BE THIS--
>> NO.
>> THAT WOMAN.
>> NO.
>> YES.
WHEN I GO INTO THE PROFILE
PHOTOS, I FIND THE PHOTOS ARE
ALL OF THIS GIRL.
>> WHOA.
HOLD ON A MINUTE.
THAT'S--IS THAT HIM?
>> THAT'S A GIRL.
DANI.
DANIELLE.
WHATEVER.
I GET A SENSE THAT THE GUY SHE'S
BEEN TALKING TO IS ACTUALLY...
>> THIS GIRL DANIELLE.
>> THIS GIRL. RIGHT.
>> THE BIG SHOCKER IS THAT IT'S
A GIRL.
>> RIGHT.

FACEBOOK.
SUBSCRIBE TO DANI TO GET HIS
PUBLIC POSTS IN YOUR NEWS FEED.
SHE'S A WOMAN, BUT SHE
IDENTIFIES AS A MAN.
>> I'M GOING THROUGH HER BLOG
RIGHT NOW.
WHOA.
NEV, "YOU KNOW YOUR TRENDS WHEN,
NUMBER 2431, YOUR MUM, WITH THE
BEST OF INTENTIONS, TELLS YOU
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE HER PRECIOUS
SON/DAUGHTER, AND YOU FIND
YOURSELF THINKING, 'YES...
AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM.'"
>> SO MAYBE SHE IS TRANSGENDER,
WHICH WOULD ALSO MAKE SENSE.
SO THE QUESTION IS NOW...
WE SHOULD JUST GO TELL HER.
I THINK WE GOT TO FILL HER IN.
>> RIGHT.
>> I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING IS GIVING KYA THE UPPER
HAND AND SORT OF THE INFORMATION
THAT WE HAVE NOW SO THAT SHE CAN
BEST DECIDE HOW AND WHAT SHE
WANTS TO DO MOVING FORWARD.
>> AS USUAL, WE SHOULD BE PRETTY
DELICATE IN GIVING HER THE NEWS.
>> RIGHT.
IT'S A LOT TO SWALLOW.
>> IT'S A LOT TO SWALLOW.
>> I MEAN--
>> * BABY, YOU'RE MY GIRL *
>> THERE IT IS.
>> THAT'S WHERE SHE SAID SHE
WAS?
>> YEAH.
>> * TOGETHER FOREVER
>> HEY.
>> HELLO.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
THIS IS WHERE WE GO IN, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
WE'VE SPENT THE LAST 24 HOURS
JUST WITH OUR HEADS DEEP INSIDE
OF THIS.
>> WE HIT A LOT OF DEAD ENDS.
>> YEAH.
>> WOW.
>> WE'VE REALLY BEEN BANGING OUR
HEADS AGAINST THE WALL.
>> BUT WE KIND OF JUST KEPT
LOOKING.
>> MM-HMM.
FIND ANYTHING INTERESTING?
>> WE DID.
WE WENT ON HIS PROFILE, AND WE
DOWNLOADED A LOT OF HIS PHOTOS
FROM HIS PROFILE PICTURES, JUST
STARTED RUNNING THEM THROUGH
GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH.
AND ONE OF THEM WAS A HIT.
>> OKAY.
>> AND IT TOOK US TO A FACEBOOK
PROFILE.
OKAY?
AND IT TOOK US TO THIS FACEBOOK
PROFILE, A GUY NAMED CHRIS.
I'M SURE YOU RECOGNIZE ALL OF
THESE.
>> YEAH.
>> EVERY SINGLE PHOTO THAT'S ON
ALYX'S PROFILE IS ALSO ON THIS
GUY CHRIS' PROFILE.
>> MM-HMM.
>> EXCEPT HE ACTUALLY HAS A
COUPLE MORE.
ALYX IS NOT THIS GUY PHYSICALLY.
THE NEXT BIG THING THAT WE FOUND
WAS WE GOOGLED ALYX'S PHONE
NUMBER.
IT SHOWED UP ON THIS BLOG FOR A
GUY NAMED DANI.
SO I SAW THAT, I WAS LIKE, WOW.
SO WE LOOKED UP DANI ON
FACEBOOK, AND IT TOOK US TO THIS
PAGE.
THEY LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, AND
THIS IS DANI, THIS GIRL.
WE'RE ALMOST COMPLETELY SURE
THAT THE PERSON YOU'VE BEEN
TALKING TO IS ACTUALLY THIS
GIRL, DANI.
>> WHAT'S GOING THROUGH YOUR
MIND?
>> JUST A LOT.
IT'S...
DEFINITELY DIFFERENT.
I DID NOT EXPECT HIM TO MOST
LIKELY, MAYBE, POSSIBLY BE A
GIRL.
>> WE DIDN'T EITHER.
>> I'M JUST STILL, LIKE, A
LITTLE PISSED THAT, YOU KNOW,
AFTER I ASKED HIM THAT, DO YOU
HAVE ANYTHING THAT, YOU KNOW,
YOU'VE BEEN HIDING FROM ME, AND
THEY SAID NO.
THAT JUST, YOU KNOW, PISSES ME
OFF A LITTLE BIT, BUT--
>> FROM WHAT WE COULD TELL, DANI
IS CURIOUS ABOUT HER SEXUALITY
AND MAKES A LOT OF REFERENCES
AND RE-POSTS TO A BLOG FOR
TRANSGENDERED WOMEN.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT DANI WAS
REALLY TRANSGENDERED AND WAS
CURIOUS TO SEE, LIKE, HOW
COMMITTED AND REAL YOU COULD
FEEL ABOUT HER AS A MAN.
>> YEAH.
I'VE NEVER HONESTLY HAD A
PREFERENCE BETWEEN BOYS OR
GIRLS, BUT I THINK MY BRAIN JUST
FRIED ITSELF IN OVERLOAD OF
THINKING WHAT TO THINK.
[sighs]
IT'S DEFINITELY A BIG, BIG
CHANGE.
>> LIKE, I GUESS I DON'T REALLY
KNOW HOW I FEEL.
I MEAN, I GUESS I COULD
UNDERSTAND IF DANI'S TRANSGENDER
WHY HE WOULD CHOOSE A MALE
PERSONA, THE MALE PICTURES, WHY
DANI SOUNDS LIKE, TO ME, A MAN.
>> WHAT IS YOUR HEART SAYING AS
FAR AS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO NEXT?
>> I STILL WANT TO MEET--MEET
THE PERSON I'VE BEEN IN A
RELATIONSHIP FOR THE PAST EIGHT
MONTHS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
I WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> ARE YOU EXCITED?
NERVOUS?
HOW DOES IT FEEL IN YOUR BODY?
>> [sighs]
NERVOUS.
MY HANDS ARE SWEATY.
THIS IS WHY I'VE SHREDDED THIS
NAPKIN; MY HANDS ARE ALL SWEATY.
[sighs]
[phone rings]
>> HELLO?
>> HEY, ALYX?
>> HEY, IT'S NEV.
I'M A FRIEND OF KYA'S.
SHE REACHED OUT TO ME, UM,
TOLD ME THE STORY ABOUT HOW YOU
GUYS MET AND HOW YOU GUYS HAVE
BEEN TOGETHER.
AND I'VE BEEN HERE WITH HER FOR
A FEW DAYS.
SHE'S AMAZING, AS YOU ALREADY
KNOW.
I'M JUST CURIOUS, LIKE, IF
YOU COULD TELL ME A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH KYA'S MEANT TO YOU OVER THE
LAST EIGHT MONTHS.
WE'RE IN A POSITION TO, I
THINK, BRING KYA TO MEET YOU IF
YOU THINK THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO
DO THIS.
RIGHT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE GOING
INTO THIS THAT YOU'RE AS SERIOUS
AND INVESTED IN THIS AS SHE IS.
OKAY.
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, THAT'S
WHAT I WANT, AND THAT'S
DEFINITELY WHAT KYA WANTS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE READY TO GO.
ALL RIGHT, BYE.
>> BYE-BYE.
>> YOU READY?
>> YEAH.
>> READY TO FLY?
>> OH, MY GOD.
HERE WE GO.
NERVOUS?
>> I'VE JUST NEVER BEEN ON A
PLANE.
[laughs]
>> * PLEASE DON'T TELL ME *
* IT'S A DREAM *
* 'CAUSE I WANT SOMETHING *
* WITH A FEELING
* I WANT SOMETHING
* WITH A FEELING
>> HOW WAS IT?
>> IT WASN'T BAD.
>> ALL RIGHT.
YOU MADE IT.
ALL RIGHT.
HOW CAN TOMORROW REALLY CHANGE
YOUR FUTURE?
>> IT'S EITHER GONNA MAKE IT OR
BREAK IT.
>> WOW.
>> YOO-HOO.
HI.
YOU LOOK GREAT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> HEY, I'M GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> GOOD.
>> HOW YOU FEELING?
>> FEELING GREAT.
EXCITED.
>> THIS IS BIG, THIS IS IT.
THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN
WAITING FOR.
ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS US.
THIS IS OUR EXIT.
>> YES. [sighs]
>> FINAL THOUGHTS?
>> [sighs]
I'M JUST READY TO BE THERE.
>> THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE.
>> YEAH.
>> HE SAID GO IN THE BACK?
>> YEAH.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO DO THIS BEFORE I DECIDE
I WANT TO THROW UP.
>> LET'S TAKE OUR TIME.
WE CAN GO THROUGH HERE, RIGHT?
OKAY.
THIS IS THE BACK DOOR.
THIS IS ALSO A BACK DOOR.
I THINK--WHAT DO YOU THINK?
SHOULD WE TRY ANOTHER DOOR?
>> THE SIDE DOOR, I GUESS.
>> OVER HERE?
OH.
>> HI.
>> HEY.
>> HI.
>> HI. I'M NEV.
>> DANI.
>> HEY.
>> HEY.
>> HI.
>> HEY.
[laughs]
I WAS JUST NERVOUS AND DIDN'T
WANT TO LOSE YOU.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU IN
PERSON.
>> BUT AS I ALWAYS TOLD YOU, I'M
NOT GOING ANYWHERE, NO MATTER
WHAT.
>> I KNOW, IT'S--
>> YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME.
>> IT'S JUST STILL IN THE BACK
OF MY MIND.
THAT--JUST THAT FLAG, LIKE, "NO,
DON'T DO IT."
BUT I TOLD YOU NOW.
>> [laughs]
YEAH.
>> GO SIT AROUND BACK THERE.
I'M, LIKE, SHAKING.
I'M, LIKE, UGH.
>> OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE NOT EXACTLY
THE PERSON IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS.
>> YEAH.
[laughs]
>> SO YOU'RE TRANSGENDER?
>> YES.
>> YES.
AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN
THAT?
>> I THINK I WAS SIX.
I MIGHT HAVE BEEN YOUNGER.
I KNEW SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT
ABOUT ME.
AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
TRANSGENDER WAS, BUT I FELT LIKE
I'M NOT WHO I'M SUPPOSED TO BE.
I'M DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER
KIDS.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO VOICE IT OR
HOW TO REALLY MAKE IT, BUT THEN
WHEN I TURNED 18, I WAS LIKE,
"FINE, I'M GONNA SHAVE MY HEAD.
[bleep] IT.
I'M GONNA DRESS HOW I WANT.
I'M GONNA BUY MY OWN CLOTHES, DO
WHAT I WANT TO DO."
AND YEAH, I DID THAT.
AND THEN I WROTE MY PARENTS A
LETTER WHEN I WAS 20, AND NOW
THEY'VE KIND OF STARTED
ACCEPTING IT MORE.
RIGHT NOW I'M GOING THROUGH
HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY.
I HAD MY FIRST SHOT LAST FRIDAY.
>> WOW.
>> SO I'M CURRENTLY A WEEK AND
TWO DAYS ON TESTOSTERONE.
>> HOW MANY SHOTS?
>> I HAVE TO DO IT FOR THE REST
OF MY LIFE.
>> OH.
>> I'LL JUST GO LESS AND LESS
THROUGHOUT MY LIFETIME.
>> SO THAT'S--YOU'VE COMMITTED
TO THAT, WHICH IS A BIG
DECISION.
>> YES.
SURGERY-WISE, I WILL GET A
FULL HYSTERECTOMY DONE AND THE
MASTECTOMY DONE.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE
YET.
I'M USUALLY REALLY GOOD ABOUT
TELLING PEOPLE I'M TRANS IN THE
BEGINNING, LIKE, WITHIN THE
FIRST WEEK.
MOST OF THE TIME THEY WALK OUT.
SO I'M JUST USED TO IT.
BUT I WAS JUST AFRAID OF LOSING
HER.
I HAD THIS BOND WITH HER IN SUCH
A SHORT TIME THAT I'VE NEVER HAD
WITH ANYBODY ELSE THAT IT WAS
JUST LIKE, "I NEED TO DO WHAT I
NEEDED TO DO TO KEEP THIS FOR AS
LONG AS I CAN.
I DON'T WANT TO [bleep] IT UP.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT."
SO THAT'S WHY I JUST KEPT GOING
WITH IT.
>> WHAT ARE YOUR FEELINGS, I
GUESS, YOU KNOW, ABOUT THAT?
>> I MEAN, I HAVE NO PROBLEM
WITH IT.
YOU'RE STILL A MAN TO ME, SO...
>> [laughs]
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
>> THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THINGS.
>> THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
>> THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
I CARE ABOUT HIS PERSONALITY,
NOT THE LOOKS.
EXCEPT I LIKE REDHEADS, SO
LOOKS PLUS ADDED ONTO THAT.
>> THAT'S A PLUS.
>> I TOLD YOU I LOVE YOU NO
MATTER WHAT.
>> I KNOW.
>> YOU CAN'T GET RID OF ME.
>> I'M JUST KIND OF ENJOYING
JUST LOOKING AT YOU GUYS
SITTING NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I MEAN, I NEVER COULD HAVE
PICTURED THIS SCENARIO, BUT--
>> IT FEELS AMAZING.
IT FEELS RIGHT.
>> YEAH.
IT FEELS REALLY RIGHT.
>> YEAH.
>> AND I JUST--I CAN'T EXPLAIN
IT.
IT'S BETTER THAN WHAT I WAS
DREAMING AND EVERYTHING.
IT'S LIKE I CAN FINALLY HOLD
YOUR HAND AND JUST BE HERE WITH
YOU.
I DON'T HAVE TO, LIKE, SAY I'M
HOLDING YOUR HAND.
I CAN JUST DO IT.
>> YES.
GONNA SHOVE YOU IN MY SUITCASE
AND GO BACK HOME.
EVEN THOUGH MY SUITCASE
IS, LIKE, ONLY THIS BIG.
>> [laughs]
ALL THE WORDS IN THE WEBSTER
DICTIONARY, ALL THE WORDS IN THE
UNIVERSE, EVERY LANGUAGE, THERE
IS NO AMOUNT OF WORDS THAT CAN
SUM UP MY FEELINGS FOR HER.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE PHYSICALLY
IN MY BEING TO UNDERSTAND MY
LOVE FOR HER.
>> JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE.
>> ME TOO.
I LOVE YOU.
>> I LOVE YOU TOO.
>> I REALLY DON'T WANT THIS DAY
TO END.
>> WELL, SO ARE YOU GONNA
EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO HER?
>> YEAH.
>> PHEW.
HOW DO YOU THINK THAT'S GONNA
GO?
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
>> THIS IS THE ARTS AND ANTIQUE
ROW, LIKE ARTS COLONY AND STUFF.
YEAH, THAT'S A BAR.
[laughs]
IT'S WHATEVER.
I HAVE THIS HUGE RELIEF OFF MY
CHEST
LIKE, I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT KEEPING UP THIS LIE TO
YOU.
>> YEAH.
IT IS A RELIEF.
>> * IT'S SO COLD *
* THE WEATHER TONIGHT
* I THROW A COAT ON
* AND I GO OUTSIDE
* OOH, OOH
* ALL RIGHT
* HAPPINESS
* IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR *
>> [laughs]
>> STOP LAUGHING.
>> I CAN'T HELP IT.
I TOLD YOU I FEEL LIKE I'M 16
AGAIN.
* 16
>> * ALL RIGHT
>> HEY.
>> SO?
>> SO?
>> HOW DID IT GO?
>> IT WENT GOOD.
>> YEAH?
>> YEAH.
>> SO WHAT'S THE STATUS FOR YOU
GUYS, DO YOU THINK?
>> WE'RE STILL BOYFRIEND AND
GIRLFRIEND.
>> SO--WOW, OKAY.
SO REALLY BOYFRIEND AND
GIRLFRIEND?
>> YES.
>> AMAZING.
>> SO IT'S ON? GAME ON?
>> GAME'S ON.
>> LIFE IS GOOD.
>> LIFE IS VERY GOOD.
[laughs]
>> SO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO
TODAY?
I MEAN, WE'RE HERE.
WE'VE GOT--YOU'VE GOT TEN MORE
HOURS IN L.A., MAYBE A LITTLE
LESS.
WHAT'S--WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA?
>> GO TO THE BEACH AND PROBABLY
CALL MY MOM AND TELL HER
EVERYTHING.
>> OH.
YOU'RE GONNA EXPLAIN TO HER THAT
ALYX IS REALLY DANI AND HER--
>> YEAH, SHE'LL BE VERY CONFUSED
IF I JUST SAY...
>> RIGHT.
>> "I'M DATING DANI."
>> RIGHT.
>> SHE'S GONNA BE, "WHO THE
HELL IS DANI?"
>> DOES YOUR MOM KNOW AT ALL
THAT YOU'VE HAD RELATIONSHIPS
WITH GIRLS BEFORE?
>> NO.
>> OH. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.
>> SO THIS IS LIKE--
>> BUT, LIKE, THIS ONE--DANI
DOESN'T REALLY COUNT AS A GIRL.
>> YOU KNOW--YOU UNDERSTAND--
>> SO ARE YOU GONNA EXPLAIN
EVERYTHING TO HER?
>> YEAH. YEAH.
>> PHEW.
WHAT DO YOU THINK--HOW DO YOU
THINK THAT'S GONNA GO?
>> I HAVE NO IDEA.
>> WOW.
[phone rings]
>> HELLO?
>> HELLO.
I'M GOOD.
UM, WELL, I GOT TO MEET HIM
YESTERDAY, AND IT TURNED OUT
AMAZING, BUT I HAVE A FEW THINGS
TO TELL YOU.
UM, I LIED TO YOU ABOUT SKYPING
WITH HIM FIRST.
I NEVER TALKED TO HIM VIA WEB
CAM BEFORE.
AND ALYX...
>> UH-HUH.
>> WASN'T WHO HE SAID HE WAS.
UM, HIS NAME IS DANI.
HE IS 21.
HOME LIFE IS ALL THE SAME.
JUST PICTURES WERE DIFFERENT.
PICTURES AND NAME WERE
DIFFERENT.
AND THEN HE TOLD ME THE TRUTH,
AND I GOT TO MEET HIM YESTERDAY.
AND I STILL VERY, VERY MUCH LOVE
HIM.
HE'S VERY, VERY NICE.
BUT I ALSO WANTED TO TELL YOU
THAT DANI IS TRANSGENDER.
UM, DANI IS STILL TECHNICALLY
AND LEGALLY A GIRL BUT
IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS A BOY.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I'M PERFECTLY OKAY WITH ALL
OF THIS.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE PERSON
HE WAS, NOT FOR WHAT HE LOOKED
LIKE, SO...
YEAH.
AND HE DOES.
WE HAD FUN LAST NIGHT.
BUT--
ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'M GONNA GET
OFF HERE, SO WE CAN GO SEE DANI.
ALL RIGHT, I LOVE YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
BYE.
[laughs] I HAVE AN AMAZING MOM.
NOW I'M JUST READY TO GO SEE
DANI.
>> AND NOW MORE
CATFISH: THE TV SHOW.
STICK AROUND.
ALL RIGHT, WE ARE HERE.
>> SMELLS SO FISHY.
>> TAKE YOUR SANDALS OFF.
>> I WILL.
OH, [bleep].
THAT'S COLD.
[both laugh]
>> YEP.
>> [gasp]
>> OH, OH, OH, OH.
>> YEAH.
THAT'S COLD.
BACKING UP NOW.
>> [laughs]
>> JUST WATCHING YOU GUYS
TOGETHER IS REALLY GREAT.
HOW'S IT FEEL?
>> AMAZING.
LIKE, THAT'S NOT EVEN THE WORD
FOR IT.
IT'S JUST INDESCRIBABLE.
>> IT'S JUST AMAZING TO BE HERE
WITH HIM, TO SEE HIM, TO TOUCH
HIM, TO KISS HIM.
IT'S LIKE THAT YOU OPEN THE
CHRISTMAS PRESENT, THE CHRISTMAS
PRESENT YOU ALWAYS, ALWAYS
WANTED, AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO SAY.
YOU CAN'T EVEN SAY THANK YOU OR
SMILE.
YOU JUST--YOU'RE THAT HAPPY.
>> SO IF YOU DON'T MIND, LIKE,
WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE FOR YOU
GROWING UP, KNOWING FROM AN
EARLY AGE?
>> IT WASN'T EASY.
I WAS BULLIED IN HIGH SCHOOL,
BULLIED JUST THROUGHOUT SCHOOL.
I'VE BEEN PHYSICALLY BEAT DOWN,
I'VE BEEN PHYSICALLY HIT.
I'VE BEEN PANTSED IN PUBLIC.
>> BY GUYS?
>> BY GUYS.
BEFORE I IDENTI--LIKE, FULLY
CAME OUT AS TRANS, I IDENTIFIED
AS LESBIAN.
AND THEN I WAS LIKE, "NO, THIS
STILL ISN'T RIGHT."
SO THEN I RESEARCHED THINGS.
I WAS LIKE, "OH, TRANSGENDER.
THAT'S WHAT I AM."
>> SO IN SOME WAYS, FOR YOU,
THIS EXPERIENCE IS KIND OF LIKE
A BIG--
>> WELL, IT'S A VERY BIG STEP
BECAUSE IT'S JUST LIKE, THAT'S
SOMETHING I'M ALWAYS CONSTANTLY
THINKING ABOUT.
LIKE, "AM I PASSING?
DO I--DO I LOOK MALE ENOUGH
TODAY?"
AND STUFF LIKE--BUT, LIKE, WITH
HER THERE AND CONSTANTLY
ENSURING OTHERS, LIKE, "HE" AND,
"THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND," STUFF
LIKE--THAT'S AWESOME.
IT, LIKE, GIVES ME THAT LITTLE,
"YAY!
SOMEBODY'S ACTUALLY SAYING IT
BESIDES MYSELF."
SO IT'S JUST--IT'S THOSE LITTLE
THINGS THAT ARE LIKE, "YES!
THAT'S AWESOME!"
THEY JUST GIVE ME, LIKE, THIS
AWESOME FEELING.
SO I DON'T WANT IT TO END.
I DON'T WANT IT TO STOP.
LIKE...
I'M, LIKE, NOT REALLY--I
REALLY DON'T WANT THIS DAY TO
END BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN
I'M GONNA SEE HER AGAIN.
>> THE "I MISS YOU"S WILL
DEFINITELY BE DIFFERENT.
SADDER KNOWING THAT I REALLY,
YOU KNOW, GOT TO BE WITH HIM AND
THAT I REALLY WILL MISS HIM.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
>> IT'S LIKE I'M TRYING NOT TO
THINK ABOUT THAT, SO I CAN JUST
ENJOY IT WITH HER TODAY, BUT--I
AM ENJOYING MYSELF, BUT IT'S
JUST STILL IN THE BACK OF MY
MIND, SHE'S GOING HOME TODAY,
SO...
AND YEAH, THERE'S SKYPE
AND WHATEVER, BUT IT'S NOT THE
SAME BECAUSE SHE'S NOT HERE.
>> YOU READY?
[camera shutter clicks]
HOLD ON.
[click]
OKAY.
>> * NOTHING'S GONNA BREAK *
*
* NOTHING'S GONNA BREAK *
* US DOWN
>> I LOVE YOU.
>> I LOVE YOU TOO.
I KNOW.
>> * I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE *
* WHAT I DID WAY BACK THEN
>> I KNOW.
>> KYA.
>> both: HEY.
>> WOW.
LOOK AT YOU.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M GOOD, HOW ARE YOU?
>> GREAT.
HOW ARE THINGS WITH YOU AND
DANI?
AW.
>> JUST AFTER THIS I'M GOING TO
A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT FOR,
LIKE, I THINK IT'S MY SEVENTH
SHOT NOW.
>> WOW.
SO WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU GUYS?
>> IN, LIKE, TWO WEEKS I'LL BE
FLYING OUT FOR, LIKE, A WEEK TO
VISIT WITH KYA AND HER FAMILY.
>> YOU MUST BE EXCITED.
>> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MOVING
IN TOGETHER.
AND I'M LIKE, "YEAH!"
>> [laughs]
>> SO...
>> SO COMING CLEAN AND BEING
HONEST HAS MADE YOU GUYS EVEN
CLOSER?
>> both: YEAH.
>> BUT I DON'T FEEL LIKE OUR
RELATIONSHIP REALLY STARTED
UNTIL WE MET.
LIKE, THAT IS WHEN IT STARTED.
>> AWESOME.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL LET YOU LITTLE
LOVEBIRDS GO.
TALK SOON.
BYE.
>> BYE, GUYS.
>> YOU GET MESSAGED BY THIS
CELEBRITY.
>> MISS TEEN USA.
>> RIGHT, I MEAN, WE DON'T KNOW
IF SHE'S REAL.
YOU'RE READY TO TAKE THAT
CHANCE?
>> YEAH.
>> I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIS FACE
WHEN WE GIVE HIM THE
UNBELIEVABLE NEWS THAT THIS
COULD BE HIS DREAM GIRL.
>> I BELIEVE THAT IT'S HER.
MAYBE HE HAS A SHOT WITH HER.
>> I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS NOW.
>> FINAL COUNTDOWN.
>> THERE'S A CAR RIGHT THERE.
