Catfish: The TV Show (2012–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Miranda & Cameryn - full transcript
After years of online chats and late night calls Miranda discovered that Cameryn was not the man he claimed to be. She confronted him only to be given another suspicious profile. Is the man she loves someone else entirely?
>> OKAY, LET'S DO THIS.
>> I'M NERVOUS.
[sighs]
>> WE JUST CONTINUE TO WAIT.
SAYING SORRY AGAIN.
>> SORRY FOR WHAT?
>> IS IT OKAY IF I, LIKE, GO
WALK?
[sobs]
>> WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT
MARRYING THIS GUY?
>> YEAH.
>> I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO JUGGLE
FOUR.
OH.
ONE, TWO.
NO.
IS IT, BUH, BUH?
NO, THAT'S NOT IT.
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
CAN SOMEONE GOOGLE THAT FOR ME?
[laughs]
OKAY.
OOH, LOOK AT THE SUBJECT LINE.
>> IT'S FROM MIRANDA.
>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
"MY NAME IS MIRANDA.
I'M 21, AND I LIVE IN A SMALL
TOWN CALLED OWATONNA,
MINNESOTA."
>> WAIT, WE'RE IN MINNESOTA NOW.
>> "I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH A MAN
NAMED CAMERYN SINCE 2011 WHOM
I'VE NEVER MET.
>> * IT'S ALMOST LIKE *
* YOU'RE MADE FOR ME *
* SOMETHING SAYS
* IT'S MEANT TO BE *
>> "OUR NIGHTLY RITUAL WAS TO
ALWAYS TALK ON THE PHONE BEFORE
BED.
NOT ONLY AM I IN LOVE WITH THE
PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE
PHONE, BUT HE IS MY VERY BEST
FRIEND."
>> * YOU'RE MY DREAM COME TRUE *
* WHEN I, WHEN I
* WHEN I SEE YOUR EYES
>> "I WAS NEVER REALLY THAT
SUSPICIOUS UNTIL I WAS IN THE
TOWN HE SUPPOSEDLY LIVES IN IN
CALIFORNIA.
CAMERYN HAD A STRING OF LIES AND
EXCUSES."
>> HMM.
>> "HIS WEB CAMERA WAS BROKEN,
AND HE COULDN'T MEET BECAUSE HE
HAD FAMILY EMERGENCIES OR HIS
CAR BROKE DOWN."
>> RIGHT.
>> WE'VE HEARD ALL THAT BEFORE.
>> YEAH.
>> "I CONFRONTED HIM, AND
EVENTUALLY, HE CAME CLEAN.
HE TOLD ME HIS REAL NAME WAS
JAMES AND THAT HE ACTUALLY
LIVES IN ATLANTA.
I KNOW THAT JAMES LIED TO ME,
AND HE COULD VERY WELL STILL BE
LYING.
I DO NOT KNOW WHERE I WOULD BE
WITHOUT HIM IN MY LIFE.
I WILL NEVER FULLY KNOW THE
TRUTH OR FULLY TRUST HIM AGAIN
UNLESS HE SHOWS HIMSELF
COMPLETELY TO ME."
>> WOW.
>> SO THIS GIRL'S BEEN IN A
RELATIONSHIP FOR THREE YEARS
WITH THIS GUY, LOVES HIM, LIKE,
FOR REAL.
>> ON THE PHONE AND TEXT.
>> SHE CAUGHT HIM.
>> IF YOU LIE A SECOND TIME--
>> JUST, RIGHT BACK AT IT.
MIRANDA, HERE SHE IS.
[Skype alert]
>> HI.
>> HELLO.
>> both: YEAH.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> HEY, MIRANDA.
TELL US ABOUT CAMERYN.
>> YEAH, LIKE, HOW QUICKLY DID
YOU AND CAMERYN SORT OF START
TALKING?
>> LIKE, INSTANTANEOUSLY.
[laughs]
HE'S REALLY CARING.
HE LISTENS.
HE'S COMPASSIONATE.
SO WHEN WE EVEN FIRST STARTED
TALKING, LIKE, I DIDN'T EVEN
WANT A RELATIONSHIP.
>> BUT YOU'VE NEVER
VIDEO-CHATTED WITH HIM?
>> NO.
I LITERALLY JUST WANTED SOMEONE
TO LISTEN AND TO BE THERE.
>> HAVE YOU GUYS TRIED TO MEET
UP?
>> I'VE ASKED HIM A FEW TIMES,
AND HE'S JUST KIND OF DENIED.
JUST DUMB EXCUSES.
I WAS TALKING TO HIM UNTIL
CATFISH FIRST PREMIERED, AND I
WATCHED HOW YOU GUYS LOOKED UP
PICTURES.
AND ONE NIGHT, I FOUND A PICTURE
THAT WAS FROM A CLUB, AND HE
WAS TAGGED AS A DIFFERENT GUY.
SO THEN I TRIED TO INTERROGATE
HIM AND QUESTION HIM FOR A
WHILE, AND HE JUST KIND OF KEPT
THROWING A LOT OF B.S. TO ME,
AND WE DIDN'T TALK FOR A WHILE.
I ENDED UP TALKING TO HIM AGAIN
AFTER A FEW MONTHS.
I JUST NEEDED TO CONFIDE IN
SOMEBODY.
>> AND WHEN YOU STARTED TALKING
AGAIN, DID YOU ASK HIM TO SEND
YOU A PICTURE OF WHO HE REALLY
IS?
>> YES, I DID.
>> HE FINALLY ADMITTED THAT HIS
NAME WAS ACTUALLY JAMES AND THAT
HE'S FROM GEORGIA.
>> YES.
>> IS HE CUTE?
ARE YOU ATTRACTED TO HIM?
>> YEAH, HE'S SUPER CUTE.
>> WHY HAVEN'T YOU GUYS
VIDEO-CHATTED?
>> I'M KIND OF SCARED.
LIKE, I'M JUST SCARED TO FACE
THE FACT THAT--WHAT HAPPENS IF
IT'S NOT HIM?
>> WOULD YOU SAY YOU LOVE JAMES?
>> YES.
I LOVE HIM.
BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE HIM UNTIL I
PHYSICALLY SEE HIM, AND I DON'T
THINK THAT WITHOUT YOUR GUYS'
HELP, I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM.
>> HANG TIGHT.
WE'RE GONNA COME AND MEET YOU IN
MINNESOTA.
>> THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU, MIRANDA.
>> YEAH, NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> THANK YOU TOO.
>> BYE.
>> [laughs] BYE.
>> SHE'S IN A JAM.
>> THAT'S CRAZY.
SO LET'S HIT THE ROAD.
[panting]
ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA GO GET MY
STUFF.
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE CAR.
>> WE'RE IN RURAL MINNESOTA.
>> HEARTLAND.
>> * PLEASE MAKE SPACE
* YOU'RE NOT THAT FAR AWAY *
>> * HERE WE GO, BABY
* YOU AND ME
* DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY
* CAN'T YOU SEE? *
* UH
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
*
AH.
AH.
THINK HE'LL BITE ME?
>> PROBABLY.
>> HE'S NICE.
[doorbell ringing]
BING-BONG.
>> HI!
>> WOW.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> LOOK AT YOU.
>> HEY, MIRANDA.
>> THIS IS OUR CREW, THE WHOLE
GANG.
>> LOOK AT YOUR STYLE, YOUR
OUTFIT.
>> YEAH.
>> TURN AROUND. [laughs]
>> WHAT ARE YOU WEARING TODAY?
>> YEAH.
>> OH, A MIXTURE OF THINGS.
SOMETHING I JUST PULLED
TOGETHER.
THERE'S MY MOM.
>> UH-OH.
>> MOM, THIS IS NEV AND MAX.
>> HI, MOM.
>> WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS
WHOLE SITUATION?
>> IT'S BEEN REALLY HARD, BEING
A PARENT, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE
CRYING AND HAVING HER HEART
BROKE OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
IF YOU HAVE SO MUCH BAGGAGE AND
TRUST ISSUES, HOW ARE YOU GONNA
HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP?
IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD, SO IT'LL
BE NICE TO SEE WHAT'S AT THE END
OF THE ROAD, I GUESS.
>> SO HERE WE ARE IN
"AH-WATONNA."
>> "OWATONNA."
>> OWATONNA.
>> IT'S A BIG FARM TOWN.
>> ARE YOU PARENTS IN THE
FARMING INDUSTRY?
>> NO.
MY MOM USED TO BE
A DAY CARE MOM.
BEFORE THAT, SHE WAS A NURSE.
BUT MY MOM HAS CROHN'S DISEASE.
SHE'S HAD CROHN'S DISEASE SINCE
SHE WAS 18.
>> OH, WOW.
>> BUT THE LAST FEW YEARS, IT'S
GOTTEN REALLY BAD, SO SHE HAD
TO GIVE UP DAY CARE.
THE DISEASE IS TERMINAL.
BEFORE I EVEN TOLD JAMES THAT MY
MOM WAS SICK AT THE BEGINNING,
HE SAID THAT HE HAD A SISTER
THAT HAD LEUKEMIA.
AND I APPRECIATE, YOU KNOW,
SOMEONE SAYING "I'M SORRY," BUT
IT'S A WHOLE NOTHER THING TO
HAVE SOMEONE WHO HAS ACTUALLY
BEEN IN YOUR SHOES AND KNOW
EXACTLY HOW I'M FEELING, JUST
ANGRY AND UPSET, AND, "WHY?"
AND, YOU KNOW, HE KNEW EXACTLY
HOW I FELT.
WE WERE FRIENDS AT FIRST.
I WAS GOING THROUGH THINGS WITH
MY MOM, AND I JUST WANTED
SOMEONE TO LISTEN.
AND THEN IT BECAME, LIKE, AN "I
LOVE YOU."
>> THROUGHOUT THAT TIME, DID YOU
EVER SAY, "I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET
YOU.
WHEN ARE WE GONNA MEET?"
>> FASHION'S ALWAYS BEEN A BIG
PART OF MY LIFE.
I, LIKE, LIVE AT THE MALL, AND
FASHION CAPITALS IS EITHER L.A.
OR NEW YORK.
I CHOSE L.A.
I WANTED TO GO TO THE ART
INSTITUTE.
>> SO YOU MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY
EXCITED CAMERYN WAS IN
SANTA MONICA.
>> HONESTLY, THAT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY I MOVED OUT TO
CALIFORNIA.
BUT I DIDN'T TELL A LOT OF
PEOPLE, JUST BECAUSE COMING FROM
A SMALL TOWN AND THE PEOPLE I
KNOW, EVEN MY CLOSEST FRIENDS,
THERE WOULD BE JUDGMENT.
AND THEN THAT'S WHEN THE EXCUSES
AND EVERYTHING AROSE.
THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, PROBLEMS,
AND HIS PHONE WAS OFF.
I TOLD HIM I WAS HURT.
HE WAS APOLOGETIC, I GUESS, BUT
I DIDN'T REALLY TRY MUCH AFTER
THAT, I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED.
I NOTICED THAT SOME OF THE
PICTURES ON HIS FAKE PROFILE HAD
A CLUB NAME ON IT.
I GOOGLED IT, AND IT WAS A CLUB
IN ATLANTA, AND I FOUND OUT
THEY HAD A FACEBOOK PAGE.
THEY HAD PHOTOS, AND I
EVENTUALLY FOUND ONE WITH HIM
IN IT, BUT HE WAS TAGGED AS
ANOTHER PERSON.
>> HMM.
>> HIS NAME WAS JOSH.
I CLICKED ON JOSH'S NAME, AND IT
WAS A LEGITIMATE PROFILE.
I ACTUALLY MESSAGED JOSH ON
FACEBOOK, AND I EXPLAINED IT TO
HIM, AND HE OBVIOUSLY BLEW HIS
TOP.
HE WAS LIKE, "SOMEONE'S
PRETENDING TO BE ME?"
AT THAT POINT, I BROUGHT IT UP
TO CAM, AND HE JUST KEPT LYING
AND KEPT COMING UP WITH ALL
THESE OTHER STORIES AND
EVERYTHING, AND I JUST KIND OF
WAS LIKE, "SCREW YOU."
THEN, I WAS GOING THROUGH SOME
THINGS AGAIN, AND I HAD TO MOVE
HOME.
A LOT OF MY FRIENDS IN OWATONNA
WEREN'T MY FRIENDS ANYMORE, AND
THEY JUST KIND OF WROTE ME OFF,
AND I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYONE
TO TALK TO, AND HE WAS ONE OF
THE ONLY ONES THAT KIND OF KNEW
EVERYTHING, AND I WAS LIKE--I
HAD TO TALK TO SOMEBODY.
>> HE ALSO HAD, LIKE, A NEW
STORY FOR YOU WHEN YOU SORT OF
RECONNECTED, RIGHT?
>> HE SAID HIS NAME WAS JAMES,
AND HE ACTUALLY LIVES IN
ATLANTA.
I ASKED HIM ABOUT HIS FAKE
PROFILE, AND HE SAID THAT HE
WANTED TO ESCAPE, LIKE, HIS
REALITY, I GUESS.
HE'S HAD TROUBLES AT HOME.
BUT HE WAS THERE FOR ME, AND IT
BECAME, LIKE, A DAILY THING,
LIKE, CALLING HIM ON MY BREAKS
AT WORK, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
ALL OVER AGAIN, I'M BACK IN
LOVE WITH THIS OTHER GUY, AND I
DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS REALLY.
>> I'D LOVE TO SEE KIND OF
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE.
>> YEAH.
THERE'S, LIKE, 10,000...
>> OH, MY GOD!
>> SO IT'S GONNA TAKE A LONG
TIME TO GET TO THE TOP.
>> THAT IS A LOT OF TALKING.
>> * I WAIT FOR YOU
* TO SAY THE WORDS
* I WANT TO BE TRUE
>> "I GAVE YOU EVERY OUNCE OF MY
HEART, ENERGY, AND TIME,
ASSUMING I COULD GET YOUR LOVE
BACK AND A FUTURE WITH YOU, NOT
TO GET STOMPED ON AND WALKED
OVER AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF."
>> THIS IS RIGHT WHEN I FOUND
OUT EVERYTHING WAS FAKE.
>> * WOULD I WAIT ALL MY DAYS
>> WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT
MARRYING THIS GUY?
>> YEAH.
BUT OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE TO MEET
SOMEBODY TO MARRY SOMEBODY.
[laughs]
BUT LOTS OF "I LOVE YOUS."
>> I JUST SORT OF WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU'RE SURE THAT YOU ARE
READY TO REALLY FIND OUT THE
TRUTH.
>> THREE YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH,
AND I'M TIRED OF A "WHAT IF?"
I HAVE TO KNOW.
I NEED TO KNOW.
I'M READY.
>> ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'RE HERE.
WE'RE GONNA DO IT.
>> OH, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
HONESTLY, IT MEANS THE WORLD TO
ME.
THANK YOU.
>> WE'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
IT, YEAH.
>> READY?
LET'S DO THIS.
>> BYE.
>> both: BYE-BYE.
>> IF THIS GUY IS JUST SOME
LOSER WHO'S MANIPULATING THIS
POOR GIRL WHO HAS A SICK MOM...
>> LYING ABOUT HIS SISTER DYING
OF LEUKEMIA?
>> I'M GONNA GET REALLY UPSET.
>> HE'S LIED BEFORE.
HE'S PROBABLY LYING AGAIN.
[knocking at the door]
>> HEY, BUDDY.
YOU READY TO DO THIS?
>> YEAH.
>> GOT THE OLD--
>> I GOT THE NOTEBOOK.
>> YOU GOT THE NOTEBOOK.
>> THE SPECIAL CATFISH NOTEBOOK.
>> JUST GONNA MAKE A PIT STOP
RIGHT HERE.
>> YUP.
WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR PARTNER
ONE OF THOSE TOO?
BEST PART ABOUT BEING ON THE
ROAD.
>> COOKIE.
>> THE FREE COOKIES.
>> COOKIE.
>> I'M SENSING THIS IS NOT GONNA
BE A LONG INVESTIGATION.
WE ALREADY KNOW SOMETHING'S UP.
>> SO YOU READY?
[whooshing]
SO HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR--
THIS GUY USED TO BE "CAMERYN."
MIRANDA BUSTED HIM.
HE WAS USING PICTURES OF SOME
GUY IN ATLANTA.
HE SAYS NOW HIS NAME IS JAMES.
HE SENT HER NEW PICTURES.
>> THERE'S A CHANCE HE COULD BE
THE GUY FROM THE NEW PICTURES,
BUT IT'S UNLIKELY.
>> IT SEEMS UNLIKELY.
>> LET'S DO THE IMAGE SEARCH
FIRST.
>> ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
FIRST PIC OF JAMES, THE GUY FROM
THE NEW PICTURES.
>> both: NOTHING.
>> HERE'S THE SECOND ONE.
>> ALL RIGHT, NUMBER TWO,
NUMBER TWO, DO I GET A NUMBER
TWO?
>> CAN I GET A--UH, OH, OH.
>> NOTHING.
NO HITS ON THE PICS.
>> SO THEN LET'S JUST DO A
SEARCH FOR "JAMES"...
>> JAMES [bleep].
>> WHAT DO WE GOT?
THERE'S A LOT OF FACEBOOK HITS.
THIS GUY'S IN GEORGIA.
>> YEAH, LET'S CLICK ON THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
WE GOT SOME PHOTOS.
THERE'S NOT A LOT.
THERE'S THIS GUY.
HERE HE IS WITH HIS FRIENDS.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S KEEP
THIS GUY AS AN OPTION.
LET'S DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR
"JAMES [bleep]."
LIKE THAT?
>> YEAH.
>> WHOA.
>> DID YOU SEE THAT?
>> SEX OFFENDER.
>> WHAT IS THAT?
>> THERE HE IS.
ALIASES.
WHAT DO WE HAVE?
JAMES [bleep].
>> YIKES.
>> "TRAVELING TO MEET MINOR AND
UNLAWFUL SEXUAL OFFENSE."
AND SHE WAS BASICALLY A MINOR
WHEN THEY STARTED TALKING.
BUT LOOK, "STATUS: CONFINEMENT."
HE IS CONFINED TO A STATE OR
FEDERAL PENITENTIARY.
WELL, MAYBE THAT'S WHY HE CAN'T
MEET HER.
>> THAT COULD BE WHY.
>> HE'S IN JAIL!
>> WE KNOW ABOUT THIS, REMEMBER.
LIKE, YOU DON'T GET COUNTLESS
HOURS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
AND IN THE MORNING, YOU KNOW, ON
THE INTERNET.
LIKE, HE'S HAVING A VERY
INVOLVED RELATIONSHIP.
THERE'S NO WAY HE'S IN PRISON.
>> YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
>> I THINK THIS IS A DEAD END.
BEFORE WE GET LOST, LET'S JUST
RUN THE NUMBERS.
HERE IS JAMES' CURRENT PHONE
NUMBER.
>> COME ON, SPOKEO.
I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU TOUCH
ME.
I DON'T LIKE IT.
I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU BRING
ME CLOSE TO YOU.
>> PLEASE, PLEASE.
>> I DON'T LIKE TO FEEL YOUR
BODY WARMTH...
>> GIVE ME SOMETHING.
>> OR THE HAIR ON YOUR CHEST.
>> GIVE ME A HIT.
WHAT?
>> WE GOT SOMETHING.
WHO IS THAT?
>> HANG [bleep].
IT SAYS FEMALE.
>> BORN IN 1970, SO IT COULD
EASILY BE THE MOTHER OF A KID
WHO WAS BORN IN 1991.
>> LIVED IN GEORGIA.
>> LET'S TYPE THAT INTO FACEBOOK
AND SEE IF WE GET ANYTHING.
>> TWO PEOPLE, ONE IN BANGKOK
AND ONE IN QUANG NINH.
>> WELL, THAT'S IN THAILAND.
>> RIGHT.
>> THERE'S ONE.
GEORGIA.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> BOOM.
CLICK ON IT.
>> OH, MY GOD.
WHO IS THIS?
AND LOOK, THERE'S RELATIVES.
JAMES [bleep].
LET'S LOOK UP THIS GUY.
>> SO THIS HANG [bleep] LADY
COULD BE THE MOM OF JAMES.
THIS IS DEFINITELY A LEAD.
>> YEAH, THE PHONE NUMBER'S
REGISTERED TO HANG [bleep].
COULD BE THE MOM OF JAMES.
LET'S JUST GO OVER ALL THIS
STUFF WITH MIRANDA AND THEN
COME UP WITH A STRATEGY.
I'M GONNA CUT THIS CAMERA, OKAY?
CUT IT, TAIL SLATE.
[phone ringing]
>> HELLO?
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
HI, GUYS!
>> HEY.
>> HI.
>> HEY, WHAT'S UP?
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'M LOGAN.
>> JORDAN, THIS IS THE LITTLE
SISTER, RIGHT?
>> BUT TALLER.
>> YEAH. [laughs]
>> WELL, RIGHT, THE BIG LITTLE
SISTER.
LET'S GO OVER HERE A LITTLE BIT.
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU'RE HER
REAL-LIFE BEST FRIEND, BUT--
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. [laughs]
>> HOW WOULD YOU SAY HER
FRIENDSHIP WITH JAMES COMPARES
TO SORT OF YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH
HER?
>> I FEEL LIKE SOME THINGS I
MIGHT EVEN KNOW THAT JAMES
KNOWS, SO...
>> EXACTLY.
>> I DO FEEL LIKE THEIR BOND
COULD BE STRONGER THAN MINE AND
HERS.
>> I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
I'VE BEEN LIKE, "WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?
YOU NEED TO GIVE UP ON THIS."
AND SHE'S LIKE, "NO, I REALLY
LOVE THIS GUY."
>> YES.
>> THAT'S CUTE.
>> YEAH.
>> YOU LIKE IT?
>> YEAH.
>> YEP, WE NEED THIS ONE.
>> [laughs]
>> WE SPENT THE AFTERNOON DOING
RESEARCH.
IF YOU WANT, WE CAN ALL GO NOW
AND KIND OF GO OVER EVERYTHING
TOGETHER.
>> I MEAN, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING,
INS AND OUTS, SO YEAH.
I'M READY.
>> THE FIRST THING THAT WE DID
WAS JUST A STRAIGHT-UP FACEBOOK
SEARCH FOR "JAMES [bleep]."
INTERESTINGLY, SOMEONE FROM
GEORGIA.
HE LOOKS LIKE A NICE ENOUGH GUY.
SO SO FAR, OUR ONE OPTION IS NOT
BAD.
NOT THE GUY IN THE PICTURES, BUT
NOT BAD.
THEN THE NEXT THING IS THIS.
>> READ WHAT THAT SAYS.
>> SEXUAL OFFENDER.
>> WE WENT TO THAT PAGE AND IT
BROUGHT US TO THIS GUY.
AND IT SAYS UNDER HIS ALIASES,
IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST ONE, IS
"JAMES [bleep]."
>> THIS GUY WAS ARRESTED
SOLICITING OR SHOWING UP TO SOME
UNDERAGE PERSON'S HOUSE WITH
WHAT SEEMED TO BE SEXUAL INTENT.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC
INFORMATION TO POINT TO HIM
BEING THE GUY YOU'RE TALKING TO.
SHOWING YOU EVERYTHING WE FOUND.
THIS IS PROBABLY A LONG SHOT,
BUT IT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO
IGNORE COMPLETELY.
>> EXACTLY, YEAH.
>> BUT THE NEXT THING THAT WE
DID WAS WE RAN THE PHONE NUMBER,
AND INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, WHEN
WE DO A REVERSE PHONE SEARCH, IT
COMES UP REGISTERED TO THE NAME
"HANG [bleep]."
SO WE DID A SEARCH ON FACEBOOK,
AND WE FOUND HANG [bleep].
AGAIN, IT'S A FEMALE IN GEORGIA.
>> WITH A SON NAMED JAMES.
>> WOW.
>> SO WE CLICKED ON THAT.
>> WE FOUND THIS GUY.
>> I MEAN, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT,
I GUESS HE COULD BE ANY OF THESE
PEOPLE, AND HONESTLY, I DON'T
KNOW HOW I'M GONNA REACT OR
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN REALLY
UNTIL I ACTUALLY AM, LIKE...
>> FACE-TO-FACE.
>> FACE-TO-FACE.
>> THERE'S NO CLEAR ANSWERS.
>> SO MANY OPTIONS, THOUGH.
>> RIGHT.
>> IT'S CRAZY.
>> I'M GONNA STAY OPEN-MINDED,
AND I'M JUST READY TO KNOW.
>> I COULD CALL HIM AND SEE IF
HE WOULD BE, FINALLY, WILLING TO
PRESENT HIMSELF AND MEET UP.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> LET'S GO.
CALL HIM.
>> YOU WANT ME TO CALL HIM?
>> YEP.
I'M NERVOUS.
>> WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO JAMES
MIGHT REALLY BE.
>> HE'S CALLING, HE'S CALLING.
>> HE'S CALLING, OH.
[phone ringing]
>> YEAH, HI, IS THIS JAMES?
>> HEY, THIS IS NEV.
I MAKE A TV SHOW CALLED CATFISH
ON MTV.
>> OKAY, COOL.
I AM MAKING AN EPISODE RIGHT
NOW, AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS
EPISODE IS TO HELP A YOUNG LADY
NAMED MIRANDA MEET YOU.
>> WELL, WHAT IS YOUR
HESITATION?
I MEAN, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY YOU
WOULDN'T WANT TO MEET HER IF
YOU DO LOVE HER AS MUCH AS YOU
SAY YOU DO.
>> IF THIS GIRL IS AS IMPORTANT
TO YOU AS YOU SAY SHE IS, YOU
WOULD FIND A WAY, AND THIS IS
PROBABLY YOUR LAST CHANCE
BECAUSE IF YOU--YOU KNOW, IF
YOU LET THIS OPPORTUNITY GO, I
THINK SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO MOVE
ON.
I MEAN, SHE DESERVES TO BE WITH
SOMEONE.
>> WHERE ARE YOU?
>> SO YOU'RE IN ATLANTA, OKAY.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT
A WAY TO GET SOME FREE TIME THIS
WEEKEND IF WE WERE ABLE TO COME
DOWN TO ATLANTA?
>> IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD JUST
PREPARE TO BE REALLY HONEST, AND
YOU'LL PROBABLY FEEL A LOT
BETTER, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT
COULD HAPPEN?
>> YEAH, THANK YOU, JAMES.
>> WHAT'D HE SAY?
>> HE IS IN ATLANTA, SO THAT'S
TRUE.
>> OKAY.
>> HE'S LIKE, "OKAY, I WILL
MEET HER.
I DO WANT TO MEET HER."
WE CAN FLY DOWN THERE THIS
WEEKEND.
>> I REALLY HOPE THAT IT'S THIS
PICTURE THAT I HAVE.
>> IF YOU HAD TO DECIDE RIGHT
NOW IF YOU THINK IT'S HIM OR
NOT, WHAT IS YOUR INSTINCT?
>> THAT IT IS THIS TIME, BUT I
NEED TO KNOW.
I NEED TO KNOW.
[laughs]
I'M NERVOUS NOW.
>> [laughs]
SO LET'S GET MOVING.
>> YES, YEAH.
[doorbell ringing]
>> HEY.
>> HI.
>> YOU GUYS ARE, LIKE, TWINS.
YOU GUYS COULD BE IN THE SAME
MOTORCYCLE CREW.
YEAH.
[laughter]
LOOK AT THAT.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> [laughs]
WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WE'RE
GOING TO ATLANTA?
>> EXCITED.
SO SHE HAS AN END OR A
BEGINNING, WHICHEVER, BUT AT
LEAST SHE'LL HAVE AN ANSWER.
>> THAT'S YOUR SUITCASE?
[laughter]
>> THAT'S A SUITCASE LOGAN GAVE
ME, IT HAS SHELVES IN IT.
I NEED TO HAVE OPTIONS.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> I LOVE YOU.
>> YOU MAKE SURE YOU CALL ME.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> BYE.
>> BYE, I LOVE YOU.
>> BYE.
>> I'LL CRY WHEN YOU LEAVE.
>> DON'T CRY.
>> UGH!
>> I'LL--I'LL--
>> * IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
* I'LL MEET YOU IN MY SLEEP *
>> NO REGRETS.
>> I'M SUPER NERVOUS.
>> * AND IN THE MORNING LIGHT
* YOU'LL WAKE UP NEXT TO ME *
>> OKAY, HERE WE GO.
>> * I'M TAKING YOU *
* THERE
>> WE ARE IN ATLANTA.
>> * I'M TAKING YOU *
* THERE
>> I MIGHT THROW UP.
>> NOW?
>> NO.
[laughs]
>> YOU WANT TO CALL JAMES AND
TELL HIM?
[phone ringing]
>> PLEASE LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE
FOR--
>> OKAY, HE FORWARDED ME.
*
>> GET SOME SLEEP.
WE'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.
BYE.
>> [laughing] BYE.
>> I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE I STILL
DON'T HAVE A TEXT MESSAGE.
HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THIS GUY
SINCE WE LEFT--BEFORE WE LEFT, I
MEAN.
SHE HASN'T HEARD FROM HIM, HAS
SHE?
>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
>> WHEN SHE TEXTED HIM LAST
NIGHT, HE NEVER RESPONDED?
>> NO.
I THINK WE SHOULD CALL HIM RIGHT
NOW...
>> AND JUST SEE WHAT--
>> AND JUST SEE--
>> WELL, WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE
TO GO.
>> PLEASE LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE.
[beep]
>> HEY, GOOD MORNING, JAMES.
IT'S NEV AND MAX, AND WE ARE
HERE IN MARIETTA LOOKING TO
CONNECT WITH YOU.
>> [mouthing words]
>> NO PRESSURE, AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
THANKS.
>> [bleep].
THAT'S NOT GOOD.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S TEXT HIM.
>> DO YOU WANT TO TEXT HIM?
>> "HEY, JAMES.
NO PRESSURE.
LET'S JUST CONNECT, SO I KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU.
CHEERS."
[grumbles]
YEAH, THIS GUY COULD BE A TOTAL
NO-SHOW.
>> WE KNOW WE'RE CLOSE.
SO HE'S DEFINITELY FEELING THE
HEAT.
>> BUT, LIKE, HE LURED MIRANDA
ALL THE WAY OUT TO LOS ANGELES
TO THE BRINK OF MEETING HIM...
>> YEAH.
>> ONLY TO THEN BASICALLY DROP
IT ON HER THAT HE'S NOT FROM
THERE AT ALL, SO THIS GUY HAS A
HISTORY OF BAILING AT THE LAST
SECOND.
>> UGH!
>> SURE.
>> LET'S GO TO MIRANDA.
[knocking at the door]
>> HI.
>> HI.
>> OH, WOW, COOL.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
>> HI.
>> HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP?
>> FREAKING OUT.
>> SO I TRIED CALLING JAMES THIS
MORNING JUST TO FIGURE OUT WHERE
WE'RE GONNA MEET.
HE DIDN'T PICK UP.
I LEFT A MESSAGE.
DID YOU THINK THAT HE MIGHT...
BAIL?
>> NO.
WELL, I GUESS IT WAS A
POSSIBILITY, BUT I DIDN'T THINK
OF THAT PART.
>> WELL, LET'S GIVE HIM A MINUTE
AND JUST SEE IF HE RESPONDS.
>> OH, MAN.
BUT WE COULD GO ON--
[text alerts]
OH, WHOA.
TWO.
>> DOUBLE.
[text alerts]
WHOA.
>> TRIPLE.
>> OH, BOY.
>> QUADRUPLE.
SEE, I DON'T--I CAN'T EVEN SAY
IT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COMES
AFTER QUADRUPLE.
>> OKAY, HE WAS JUST WRITING AN
ESSAY.
"FIRST OFF, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION, NEV.
I'M A VERY THOUGHTFUL PERSON
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.
I KNOW IT'S WRONG TO DECEIVE
SOMEONE THAT YOU TRULY LOVE, AND
I'D LOVE TO MEET HER TODAY, BUT
MY FAMILY IS PREVENTING ME.
AS MUCH AS I EXPLAINED AND
PLEADED WITH THEM, THEY WON'T
LET ME.
THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING BATTLE
SINCE THURSDAY.
I JUST CANNOT DO IT.
I CAN'T PUT MY HOME LIFE IN A
SITUATION LIKE THAT.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN SORT OF MAKE
THIS EXPERIENCE POSITIVE FOR
BOTH OF US IS IF WE CAN SKYPE
SOMETIME TODAY.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY, NEV."
>> YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT WE
FLEW ALL THE WAY TO GEORGIA...
>> I'M NOT TELLING YOU THAT.
>> TO VIDEO-CHAT WITH SOMEONE?
>> IT'S A SMALL VICTORY.
>> YEAH, YEAH, NO, IT IS, IT IS
A VICTORY, YEAH.
>> IT'S A SMALL VICTORY.
LET'S GO DOWN THERE.
>> THERE'S A SLIGHT HICCUP.
>> HIS RESPONSE WAS, "I CAN'T
MEET WITH YOU GUYS TODAY."
>> WHAT?
>> "I'D LOVE TO MEET HER, NEV,
BUT THERE'S WAY MORE TO IT.
MY FAMILY IS PREVENTING ME.
AS MUCH AS I EXPLAINED AND
PLEADED WITH THEM, THEY WON'T
LET ME.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN SORT OF MAKE
THIS EXPERIENCE POSITIVE FOR
BOTH OF US IS IF WE CAN SKYPE
SOMETIME TODAY.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY."
>> I'M PISSED.
I STUCK UP FOR HIM NO MATTER HOW
MUCH [bleep] MY FAMILY GAVE HIM
OR MY FRIENDS OR ANYBODY.
>> I'M GONNA TEXT HIM.
"OKAY, WE'D LIKE TO SKYPE WITH
YOU NOW.
ARE YOU--"
>> LET ME GET A KLEENEX.
[sniffles]
>> CAN I SEND THAT?
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT?
>> YEAH.
[sighs]
[text alert]
>> HE RESPONDED.
HE SAID, "OKAY, GIVE ME A
MINUTE."
[text alert]
>> OKAY.
JAMES JUST SAID, "WHAT'S YOUR
SKYPE NAME?"
>> YEAH, JUST DO IT.
>> HERE.
OKAY, YOU READY?
>> YEAH, I'M READY.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA
SAY, SO IF I'M SILENT, JUST
TALK.
>> OKAY, WE'LL COVER IF WE NEED
TO.
[Skype ring tone]
[text alert]
"COULD I JUST TALK TO YOU GUYS
FIRST?"
>> SERIOUSLY?
>> SURE.
YOU'LL JUST STAND OVER HERE.
>> YEAH.
"JUST US NOW."
HELLO?
HELLO?
OKAY, GREAT.
>> HELLO?
WOW.
UM, SO YOUR NAME IS--
>> GABBY.
I'M OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE CONFUSED,
JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S
GOING ON HERE.
DO YOU WANT TO FILL ME IN?
>> ARE YOU JAMES?
>> WHICH MEANS YOU WERE ALSO
CAMERYN.
>> OKAY, AND HOW OLD ARE YOU?
>> OKAY.
UM, SO WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOU
AND MIRANDA TO BE?
>> OKAY.
>> AND WHY IS YOUR FAMILY
AGAINST YOU MEETING US IN
PERSON?
>> I IMAGINE YOUR INTEREST IN
MIRANDA IS MORE THAN JUST AS
FRIENDS.
>> WOULD IT BE WRONG OF ME TO
ASSUME THAT YOU'RE BISEXUAL OR A
LESBIAN?
>> YOU'RE NOT SURE?
>> DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT
MIRANDA?
DO YOUR FRIENDS KNOW?
WHY HAVE YOU WAITED SO LONG TO
TELL HER THE TRUTH?
>> I THINK THE BEST WAY TO DO IT
WOULD BE IN PERSON.
I KIND OF THINK THAT MIRANDA
SHOULD BE THE ONE TO ASK YOU
THOSE QUESTIONS, NOT US.
I THINK YOU SHOULD TELL IT TO
HER, YOU KNOW?
>> I GUESS.
>> CAN YOU HOLD ON ONE SECOND?
YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO
HER REALLY FAST?
SO AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS MIRANDA.
>> HI.
>> [laughs]
THANK YOU.
I'M STILL IN SHOCK RIGHT NOW.
ONE OF THE BIG QUESTIONS I WANT
TO KNOW IS, LIKE, WHY COULDN'T
WE DO THIS FACE-TO-FACE?
IF WE CAN'T MEET FACE-TO-FACE,
THEN I REALLY DON'T SEE US EVEN
BEING ABLE TO HAVE A FRIENDSHIP.
>> IT'S PRETTY MIRACULOUS AND
GENEROUS OF MIRANDA, CONSIDERING
WHAT'S UNFOLDED IN THE LAST
30 MINUTES TO WANT TO GIVE YOU
AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN
YOURSELF, SO YOU SHOULD TAKE
THAT VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING A LOT OF
PEOPLE WOULD BE WILLING TO DO.
>> EXACTLY.
>> OKAY.
>> WE'LL WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU
WITH A TIME AND A PLACE NEARBY
SOMEWHERE TOMORROW MORNING WHERE
WE CAN MEET UP, AND WE'LL
ASSUME THAT ONCE WE HAVE THAT
INFORMATION, IT WON'T CHANGE.
>> ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE LOOK
FORWARD TO MEETING YOU.
>> OKAY.
THANKS.
THANKS, GABBY.
>> THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT
GIRL KNOWS.
A LOT.
[soft music]
*
>> DID YOU AND JAMES JUST BREAK
UP?
LIKE, WHAT--HOW DOES IT FEEL NOW
IN REGARDS TO THE FACT THAT YOU
KIND OF HAD A BOYFRIEND
20 MINUTES AGO AND NOW YOU
DON'T?
>> IT'S LIKE I'M TALKING TO A
WHOLE NOTHER PERSON.
>> RIGHT.
BUT JAMES BASICALLY JUST
DISAPPEARED FOREVER.
>> YEAH.
>> * THE BRIGHT EYES
* OF A MADMAN
*
* THE SHARP SIGHS
* OF A HEARTLAND
>> I'VE WASTED A LOT OF TIME ON
THOSE FICTITIOUS HOPES, ON IT
BECOMING SOMETHING.
THAT'S JUST REALLY...
[sighs]
DISAPPOINTING, TO KNOW THAT
LITERALLY ALMOST EVERYONE
AROUND ME...KNEW.
AND NOW, WHAT IS EVERYONE, WHEN
I GO BACK--WHEN THEY WATCH THIS
EPISODE SAY, "I TOLD YOU SO."
>> WELL, WE GOT THE BIG ANSWER.
LET'S WAIT TO SEE WHAT SHE SAYS
ABOUT MEETING UP TOMORROW.
WHEN WE HEAR FROM HER, WE'LL
MAKE A STRATEGY.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE
RELATIONSHIP, YOU HAVE SOMEWHAT
OF AN UPPER HAND IN THAT YOU
FINALLY KNOW WHO YOU'RE DEALING
WITH.
YOU CAN PREPARE YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT IN THE DARK
ANYMORE.
>> THIS EPISODE OF CATFISH: THE
TV SHOW CONTINUES NOW.
[whistles]
>> HELLO.
>> HEY.
>> MIRANDA.
>> HI.
>> WOW.
>> MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING LAST
NIGHT?
>> YES.
SHE TEXTED ME.
>> REALLY?
>> AND SHE SAID MEET AT 1:00
TODAY AT A PARK IN HIRAM.
>> DOES IT FEEL LIKE YOU'RE
STILL TALKING TO JAMES A LITTLE
BIT?
>> YEAH, KIND OF.
YEAH.
>> HOW DO YOU FEEL TOWARDS HER?
>> I'M JUST REALLY DISAPPOINTED,
BUT FEEL...
I--NOT UNDERSTANDING, BUT I
GUESS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT,
'CAUSE LOGAN AND SOME OF MY
FRIENDS, WELL, THEY'RE GAY AND
HAVING TO COME OUT, SO I GUESS
MAYBE THAT WAS PART OF IT.
BUT I'M NOT GONNA MAKE AN EXCUSE
FOR HER FOR THE REASON OF WHY
SHE DID IT, 'CAUSE THERE'S NO
EXCUSE.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE
HOPING TO COME AWAY WITH TODAY
FROM ALL THIS?
>> I WANT TO GET EXPLANATIONS,
GET SOME ANSWERS, AND...
[sighs]
I DON'T KNOW.
>> I DO NOT SEE HER OR ANOTHER
CAR.
>> WE JUST CONTINUE TO WAIT.
>> THE ONLY LAST THING TO DO
WOULD BE JUST TO CALL AGAIN AND
SEE IF SHE ANSWERS.
>> NO, SHE TEXTED ME.
>> OH, DID SHE TEXT YOU?
>> SAYING SORRY AGAIN.
>> SORRY FOR WHAT?
>> IT SAYS, "SORRY MIRANDA."
>> FOR--COMING OR NOT COMING?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S JUST--THAT'S IT.
IT'S VERY VAGUE.
I WOULD JUST CALL HER.
IF SHE ANSWERS, TELL HER YOU'RE
HERE, AND SEE IF SHE'S COMING
OR NOT.
[phone ringing]
>> PLEASE LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE.
>> SHE TEXTED ME.
>> SHE DID?
>> YEAH.
>> WHAT'D SHE SAY?
>> SHE SAID, "I REALLY CAN'T
COME."
>> I THINK WE'RE DEALING WITH
SOMEONE WHOSE PROBLEMS ARE A LOT
DEEPER AND HARDER TO SOLVE THAN
OURS.
AND I THINK YOU KNOW THAT, WHICH
IS WHY YOU'RE BEING SO ADULT
ABOUT THIS.
>> [sniffles]
[sighs]
IS IT OKAY IF I, LIKE, GO WALK
FOR A SECOND?
>> SURE.
>> [sobs]
>> * SOMETIMES OUR ENEMIES
*
* ARE CLOSER THAN WE THINK
>> HEY.
>> * SOMETIMES THE ONES
* WE TRUST
* MAY HAVE TO GIVE UP
>> [sobs]
I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT, THOUGH.
LIKE--[sobs]
>> YOU'RE NOT.
IT'S OKAY.
YOU NEEDED SOMEONE AT THAT TIME,
AND WHOEVER THIS PERSON IS, THEY
WERE THERE FOR YOU, AND THERE'S
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
>> [sighs]
>> AND MAYBE IT'S JUST TIME THAT
IT'S ENDING, SO YOU CAN MOVE ON.
>> * MAYBE THE CLOUDS
* WILL CLEAR
* AND I'LL BE SEEING YOU *
* SOMEDAY
>> YOU READY TO DRIVE AWAY AND
LEAVE ALL THIS BEHIND YOU?
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
GONNA DO NOW, MIRANDA?
>> GO BE A NORMAL 21-YEAR-OLD
GIRL.
>> * MM
*
>> HELLO?
HELLO, GABBY?
>> HI.
>> LAST TIME WE TRIED TO MEET UP
WITH YOU, OBVIOUSLY, THINGS DID
NOT WORK OUT.
>> I THINK WHEN YOU GUYS CAME,
LIKE, I KNEW IT WAS GONNA
HAPPEN, BUT MY FAMILY WAS, LIKE,
SO AGAINST IT, AND IT WAS JUST
KIND OF, LIKE, I WAS IN A BAD
PLACE.
>> HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT NOT
HAVING DONE IT?
>> I DO REGRET IT.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'LL EVER
GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO MEET UP
WITH MIRANDA.
>> ACTUALLY, ON GOOD TERMS, AND
WE'VE BEEN, LIKE, SNAPCHATTING
EACH OTHER AND FACETIMING, SO--
>> WOW, THAT'S AMAZING.
>> REALLY?
>> WE'VE TOLD EACH OTHER THINGS
THAT WE DIDN'T TELL EACH OTHER
BEFORE, AND WE JUST, LIKE, ARE
ON GOOD TERMS RIGHT NOW.
>> GLAD TO HEAR YOU'RE STILL IN
TOUCH WITH MIRANDA, AND I WISH
YOU ALL THE BEST.
>> THANK YOU.
>> GOOD LUCK, GABBY.
>> HEY!
>> HI!
>> MIRANDA.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> HOW'S IT GOING?
WE'RE GOOD.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> I'M WALKING THROUGH THE MALL.
>> WE SPOKE TO GABBY.
SHE SAID YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN
TALKING AND THAT SHE FEELS LIKE
YOU'VE SORT OF BECOME FRIENDS,
WHICH IS AMAZING.
>> I GUESS I CAN KIND OF SEE
WHERE SHE'S COMING FROM AND WHY
SHE WAS SO AFRAID.
>> AND I IMAGINE YOUR
CONVERSATIONS ARE NO LONGER
ROMANTIC.
>> UM, NOT REALLY.
>> NOT--
>> NOT REALLY OR NO?
>> I MEAN, I GUESS--THERE'S,
LIKE, FLIRTING.
>> REALLY?
>> I GUESS, YEAH.
>> WOW, FROM BOTH SIDES?
>> YEAH, I GUESS. [laughs]
I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ALMOST DON'T
HAVE CONTROL OVER WHO THEY LOVE,
WHETHER IT'S A GIRL OR A GUY.
SHE'S ACTUALLY PLANNING ON
COMING UP HERE.
>> TO VISIT YOU?
>> YEAH.
[laughs]
>> THIS IS A STRANGE TURN OF
EVENTS.
>> EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID
AND DONE BETWEEN US TWO IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT CAN JUST BE
VANISHED JUST BECAUSE OF THE
FACT THAT SHE'S A GIRL.
>> WHAT AN AMAZING TURNAROUND.
>> SURPRISE!
[laughter]
>> ALL RIGHT.
GOOD-BYE, MIRANDA.
>> OKAY, SEE YA.
>> "I'VE BEEN TALKING TO A
WONDERFUL GIRL.
HER NAME IS MEGAN."
>> WHAT DO WE GOT?
[both gasp]
>> MAX, YOU'RE GONNA CONVINCE
HER TO COME.
>> WE'RE GONNA TREAT THIS LIKE A
MILITARY OPERATION.
I'VE BEEN WAITING THREE SEASONS
FOR THIS MOMENT.
JUST HOPE I DON'T SCARE HER
AWAY.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS IT.
NOW WE'RE REALLY GETTING INTO
THE CATFISH CREEPY MODE.
I ASSUME SHE'S COMING FROM THAT
WAY.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, GUYS.
THIS COULD BE IT.
1309
00:41:05.
>> I'M NERVOUS.
[sighs]
>> WE JUST CONTINUE TO WAIT.
SAYING SORRY AGAIN.
>> SORRY FOR WHAT?
>> IS IT OKAY IF I, LIKE, GO
WALK?
[sobs]
>> WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT
MARRYING THIS GUY?
>> YEAH.
>> I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO JUGGLE
FOUR.
OH.
ONE, TWO.
NO.
IS IT, BUH, BUH?
NO, THAT'S NOT IT.
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
CAN SOMEONE GOOGLE THAT FOR ME?
[laughs]
OKAY.
OOH, LOOK AT THE SUBJECT LINE.
>> IT'S FROM MIRANDA.
>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
"MY NAME IS MIRANDA.
I'M 21, AND I LIVE IN A SMALL
TOWN CALLED OWATONNA,
MINNESOTA."
>> WAIT, WE'RE IN MINNESOTA NOW.
>> "I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH A MAN
NAMED CAMERYN SINCE 2011 WHOM
I'VE NEVER MET.
>> * IT'S ALMOST LIKE *
* YOU'RE MADE FOR ME *
* SOMETHING SAYS
* IT'S MEANT TO BE *
>> "OUR NIGHTLY RITUAL WAS TO
ALWAYS TALK ON THE PHONE BEFORE
BED.
NOT ONLY AM I IN LOVE WITH THE
PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE
PHONE, BUT HE IS MY VERY BEST
FRIEND."
>> * YOU'RE MY DREAM COME TRUE *
* WHEN I, WHEN I
* WHEN I SEE YOUR EYES
>> "I WAS NEVER REALLY THAT
SUSPICIOUS UNTIL I WAS IN THE
TOWN HE SUPPOSEDLY LIVES IN IN
CALIFORNIA.
CAMERYN HAD A STRING OF LIES AND
EXCUSES."
>> HMM.
>> "HIS WEB CAMERA WAS BROKEN,
AND HE COULDN'T MEET BECAUSE HE
HAD FAMILY EMERGENCIES OR HIS
CAR BROKE DOWN."
>> RIGHT.
>> WE'VE HEARD ALL THAT BEFORE.
>> YEAH.
>> "I CONFRONTED HIM, AND
EVENTUALLY, HE CAME CLEAN.
HE TOLD ME HIS REAL NAME WAS
JAMES AND THAT HE ACTUALLY
LIVES IN ATLANTA.
I KNOW THAT JAMES LIED TO ME,
AND HE COULD VERY WELL STILL BE
LYING.
I DO NOT KNOW WHERE I WOULD BE
WITHOUT HIM IN MY LIFE.
I WILL NEVER FULLY KNOW THE
TRUTH OR FULLY TRUST HIM AGAIN
UNLESS HE SHOWS HIMSELF
COMPLETELY TO ME."
>> WOW.
>> SO THIS GIRL'S BEEN IN A
RELATIONSHIP FOR THREE YEARS
WITH THIS GUY, LOVES HIM, LIKE,
FOR REAL.
>> ON THE PHONE AND TEXT.
>> SHE CAUGHT HIM.
>> IF YOU LIE A SECOND TIME--
>> JUST, RIGHT BACK AT IT.
MIRANDA, HERE SHE IS.
[Skype alert]
>> HI.
>> HELLO.
>> both: YEAH.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> HEY, MIRANDA.
TELL US ABOUT CAMERYN.
>> YEAH, LIKE, HOW QUICKLY DID
YOU AND CAMERYN SORT OF START
TALKING?
>> LIKE, INSTANTANEOUSLY.
[laughs]
HE'S REALLY CARING.
HE LISTENS.
HE'S COMPASSIONATE.
SO WHEN WE EVEN FIRST STARTED
TALKING, LIKE, I DIDN'T EVEN
WANT A RELATIONSHIP.
>> BUT YOU'VE NEVER
VIDEO-CHATTED WITH HIM?
>> NO.
I LITERALLY JUST WANTED SOMEONE
TO LISTEN AND TO BE THERE.
>> HAVE YOU GUYS TRIED TO MEET
UP?
>> I'VE ASKED HIM A FEW TIMES,
AND HE'S JUST KIND OF DENIED.
JUST DUMB EXCUSES.
I WAS TALKING TO HIM UNTIL
CATFISH FIRST PREMIERED, AND I
WATCHED HOW YOU GUYS LOOKED UP
PICTURES.
AND ONE NIGHT, I FOUND A PICTURE
THAT WAS FROM A CLUB, AND HE
WAS TAGGED AS A DIFFERENT GUY.
SO THEN I TRIED TO INTERROGATE
HIM AND QUESTION HIM FOR A
WHILE, AND HE JUST KIND OF KEPT
THROWING A LOT OF B.S. TO ME,
AND WE DIDN'T TALK FOR A WHILE.
I ENDED UP TALKING TO HIM AGAIN
AFTER A FEW MONTHS.
I JUST NEEDED TO CONFIDE IN
SOMEBODY.
>> AND WHEN YOU STARTED TALKING
AGAIN, DID YOU ASK HIM TO SEND
YOU A PICTURE OF WHO HE REALLY
IS?
>> YES, I DID.
>> HE FINALLY ADMITTED THAT HIS
NAME WAS ACTUALLY JAMES AND THAT
HE'S FROM GEORGIA.
>> YES.
>> IS HE CUTE?
ARE YOU ATTRACTED TO HIM?
>> YEAH, HE'S SUPER CUTE.
>> WHY HAVEN'T YOU GUYS
VIDEO-CHATTED?
>> I'M KIND OF SCARED.
LIKE, I'M JUST SCARED TO FACE
THE FACT THAT--WHAT HAPPENS IF
IT'S NOT HIM?
>> WOULD YOU SAY YOU LOVE JAMES?
>> YES.
I LOVE HIM.
BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE HIM UNTIL I
PHYSICALLY SEE HIM, AND I DON'T
THINK THAT WITHOUT YOUR GUYS'
HELP, I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM.
>> HANG TIGHT.
WE'RE GONNA COME AND MEET YOU IN
MINNESOTA.
>> THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU, MIRANDA.
>> YEAH, NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> THANK YOU TOO.
>> BYE.
>> [laughs] BYE.
>> SHE'S IN A JAM.
>> THAT'S CRAZY.
SO LET'S HIT THE ROAD.
[panting]
ALL RIGHT, I'M GONNA GO GET MY
STUFF.
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE CAR.
>> WE'RE IN RURAL MINNESOTA.
>> HEARTLAND.
>> * PLEASE MAKE SPACE
* YOU'RE NOT THAT FAR AWAY *
>> * HERE WE GO, BABY
* YOU AND ME
* DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY
* CAN'T YOU SEE? *
* UH
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
*
AH.
AH.
THINK HE'LL BITE ME?
>> PROBABLY.
>> HE'S NICE.
[doorbell ringing]
BING-BONG.
>> HI!
>> WOW.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> LOOK AT YOU.
>> HEY, MIRANDA.
>> THIS IS OUR CREW, THE WHOLE
GANG.
>> LOOK AT YOUR STYLE, YOUR
OUTFIT.
>> YEAH.
>> TURN AROUND. [laughs]
>> WHAT ARE YOU WEARING TODAY?
>> YEAH.
>> OH, A MIXTURE OF THINGS.
SOMETHING I JUST PULLED
TOGETHER.
THERE'S MY MOM.
>> UH-OH.
>> MOM, THIS IS NEV AND MAX.
>> HI, MOM.
>> WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS
WHOLE SITUATION?
>> IT'S BEEN REALLY HARD, BEING
A PARENT, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE
CRYING AND HAVING HER HEART
BROKE OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
IF YOU HAVE SO MUCH BAGGAGE AND
TRUST ISSUES, HOW ARE YOU GONNA
HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP?
IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD, SO IT'LL
BE NICE TO SEE WHAT'S AT THE END
OF THE ROAD, I GUESS.
>> SO HERE WE ARE IN
"AH-WATONNA."
>> "OWATONNA."
>> OWATONNA.
>> IT'S A BIG FARM TOWN.
>> ARE YOU PARENTS IN THE
FARMING INDUSTRY?
>> NO.
MY MOM USED TO BE
A DAY CARE MOM.
BEFORE THAT, SHE WAS A NURSE.
BUT MY MOM HAS CROHN'S DISEASE.
SHE'S HAD CROHN'S DISEASE SINCE
SHE WAS 18.
>> OH, WOW.
>> BUT THE LAST FEW YEARS, IT'S
GOTTEN REALLY BAD, SO SHE HAD
TO GIVE UP DAY CARE.
THE DISEASE IS TERMINAL.
BEFORE I EVEN TOLD JAMES THAT MY
MOM WAS SICK AT THE BEGINNING,
HE SAID THAT HE HAD A SISTER
THAT HAD LEUKEMIA.
AND I APPRECIATE, YOU KNOW,
SOMEONE SAYING "I'M SORRY," BUT
IT'S A WHOLE NOTHER THING TO
HAVE SOMEONE WHO HAS ACTUALLY
BEEN IN YOUR SHOES AND KNOW
EXACTLY HOW I'M FEELING, JUST
ANGRY AND UPSET, AND, "WHY?"
AND, YOU KNOW, HE KNEW EXACTLY
HOW I FELT.
WE WERE FRIENDS AT FIRST.
I WAS GOING THROUGH THINGS WITH
MY MOM, AND I JUST WANTED
SOMEONE TO LISTEN.
AND THEN IT BECAME, LIKE, AN "I
LOVE YOU."
>> THROUGHOUT THAT TIME, DID YOU
EVER SAY, "I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET
YOU.
WHEN ARE WE GONNA MEET?"
>> FASHION'S ALWAYS BEEN A BIG
PART OF MY LIFE.
I, LIKE, LIVE AT THE MALL, AND
FASHION CAPITALS IS EITHER L.A.
OR NEW YORK.
I CHOSE L.A.
I WANTED TO GO TO THE ART
INSTITUTE.
>> SO YOU MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY
EXCITED CAMERYN WAS IN
SANTA MONICA.
>> HONESTLY, THAT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY I MOVED OUT TO
CALIFORNIA.
BUT I DIDN'T TELL A LOT OF
PEOPLE, JUST BECAUSE COMING FROM
A SMALL TOWN AND THE PEOPLE I
KNOW, EVEN MY CLOSEST FRIENDS,
THERE WOULD BE JUDGMENT.
AND THEN THAT'S WHEN THE EXCUSES
AND EVERYTHING AROSE.
THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, PROBLEMS,
AND HIS PHONE WAS OFF.
I TOLD HIM I WAS HURT.
HE WAS APOLOGETIC, I GUESS, BUT
I DIDN'T REALLY TRY MUCH AFTER
THAT, I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED.
I NOTICED THAT SOME OF THE
PICTURES ON HIS FAKE PROFILE HAD
A CLUB NAME ON IT.
I GOOGLED IT, AND IT WAS A CLUB
IN ATLANTA, AND I FOUND OUT
THEY HAD A FACEBOOK PAGE.
THEY HAD PHOTOS, AND I
EVENTUALLY FOUND ONE WITH HIM
IN IT, BUT HE WAS TAGGED AS
ANOTHER PERSON.
>> HMM.
>> HIS NAME WAS JOSH.
I CLICKED ON JOSH'S NAME, AND IT
WAS A LEGITIMATE PROFILE.
I ACTUALLY MESSAGED JOSH ON
FACEBOOK, AND I EXPLAINED IT TO
HIM, AND HE OBVIOUSLY BLEW HIS
TOP.
HE WAS LIKE, "SOMEONE'S
PRETENDING TO BE ME?"
AT THAT POINT, I BROUGHT IT UP
TO CAM, AND HE JUST KEPT LYING
AND KEPT COMING UP WITH ALL
THESE OTHER STORIES AND
EVERYTHING, AND I JUST KIND OF
WAS LIKE, "SCREW YOU."
THEN, I WAS GOING THROUGH SOME
THINGS AGAIN, AND I HAD TO MOVE
HOME.
A LOT OF MY FRIENDS IN OWATONNA
WEREN'T MY FRIENDS ANYMORE, AND
THEY JUST KIND OF WROTE ME OFF,
AND I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYONE
TO TALK TO, AND HE WAS ONE OF
THE ONLY ONES THAT KIND OF KNEW
EVERYTHING, AND I WAS LIKE--I
HAD TO TALK TO SOMEBODY.
>> HE ALSO HAD, LIKE, A NEW
STORY FOR YOU WHEN YOU SORT OF
RECONNECTED, RIGHT?
>> HE SAID HIS NAME WAS JAMES,
AND HE ACTUALLY LIVES IN
ATLANTA.
I ASKED HIM ABOUT HIS FAKE
PROFILE, AND HE SAID THAT HE
WANTED TO ESCAPE, LIKE, HIS
REALITY, I GUESS.
HE'S HAD TROUBLES AT HOME.
BUT HE WAS THERE FOR ME, AND IT
BECAME, LIKE, A DAILY THING,
LIKE, CALLING HIM ON MY BREAKS
AT WORK, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
ALL OVER AGAIN, I'M BACK IN
LOVE WITH THIS OTHER GUY, AND I
DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS REALLY.
>> I'D LOVE TO SEE KIND OF
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE.
>> YEAH.
THERE'S, LIKE, 10,000...
>> OH, MY GOD!
>> SO IT'S GONNA TAKE A LONG
TIME TO GET TO THE TOP.
>> THAT IS A LOT OF TALKING.
>> * I WAIT FOR YOU
* TO SAY THE WORDS
* I WANT TO BE TRUE
>> "I GAVE YOU EVERY OUNCE OF MY
HEART, ENERGY, AND TIME,
ASSUMING I COULD GET YOUR LOVE
BACK AND A FUTURE WITH YOU, NOT
TO GET STOMPED ON AND WALKED
OVER AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF."
>> THIS IS RIGHT WHEN I FOUND
OUT EVERYTHING WAS FAKE.
>> * WOULD I WAIT ALL MY DAYS
>> WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT
MARRYING THIS GUY?
>> YEAH.
BUT OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE TO MEET
SOMEBODY TO MARRY SOMEBODY.
[laughs]
BUT LOTS OF "I LOVE YOUS."
>> I JUST SORT OF WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU'RE SURE THAT YOU ARE
READY TO REALLY FIND OUT THE
TRUTH.
>> THREE YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH,
AND I'M TIRED OF A "WHAT IF?"
I HAVE TO KNOW.
I NEED TO KNOW.
I'M READY.
>> ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE'RE HERE.
WE'RE GONNA DO IT.
>> OH, THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
HONESTLY, IT MEANS THE WORLD TO
ME.
THANK YOU.
>> WE'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
IT, YEAH.
>> READY?
LET'S DO THIS.
>> BYE.
>> both: BYE-BYE.
>> IF THIS GUY IS JUST SOME
LOSER WHO'S MANIPULATING THIS
POOR GIRL WHO HAS A SICK MOM...
>> LYING ABOUT HIS SISTER DYING
OF LEUKEMIA?
>> I'M GONNA GET REALLY UPSET.
>> HE'S LIED BEFORE.
HE'S PROBABLY LYING AGAIN.
[knocking at the door]
>> HEY, BUDDY.
YOU READY TO DO THIS?
>> YEAH.
>> GOT THE OLD--
>> I GOT THE NOTEBOOK.
>> YOU GOT THE NOTEBOOK.
>> THE SPECIAL CATFISH NOTEBOOK.
>> JUST GONNA MAKE A PIT STOP
RIGHT HERE.
>> YUP.
WHY DON'T YOU GET YOUR PARTNER
ONE OF THOSE TOO?
BEST PART ABOUT BEING ON THE
ROAD.
>> COOKIE.
>> THE FREE COOKIES.
>> COOKIE.
>> I'M SENSING THIS IS NOT GONNA
BE A LONG INVESTIGATION.
WE ALREADY KNOW SOMETHING'S UP.
>> SO YOU READY?
[whooshing]
SO HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR--
THIS GUY USED TO BE "CAMERYN."
MIRANDA BUSTED HIM.
HE WAS USING PICTURES OF SOME
GUY IN ATLANTA.
HE SAYS NOW HIS NAME IS JAMES.
HE SENT HER NEW PICTURES.
>> THERE'S A CHANCE HE COULD BE
THE GUY FROM THE NEW PICTURES,
BUT IT'S UNLIKELY.
>> IT SEEMS UNLIKELY.
>> LET'S DO THE IMAGE SEARCH
FIRST.
>> ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
FIRST PIC OF JAMES, THE GUY FROM
THE NEW PICTURES.
>> both: NOTHING.
>> HERE'S THE SECOND ONE.
>> ALL RIGHT, NUMBER TWO,
NUMBER TWO, DO I GET A NUMBER
TWO?
>> CAN I GET A--UH, OH, OH.
>> NOTHING.
NO HITS ON THE PICS.
>> SO THEN LET'S JUST DO A
SEARCH FOR "JAMES"...
>> JAMES [bleep].
>> WHAT DO WE GOT?
THERE'S A LOT OF FACEBOOK HITS.
THIS GUY'S IN GEORGIA.
>> YEAH, LET'S CLICK ON THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.
WE GOT SOME PHOTOS.
THERE'S NOT A LOT.
THERE'S THIS GUY.
HERE HE IS WITH HIS FRIENDS.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S KEEP
THIS GUY AS AN OPTION.
LET'S DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR
"JAMES [bleep]."
LIKE THAT?
>> YEAH.
>> WHOA.
>> DID YOU SEE THAT?
>> SEX OFFENDER.
>> WHAT IS THAT?
>> THERE HE IS.
ALIASES.
WHAT DO WE HAVE?
JAMES [bleep].
>> YIKES.
>> "TRAVELING TO MEET MINOR AND
UNLAWFUL SEXUAL OFFENSE."
AND SHE WAS BASICALLY A MINOR
WHEN THEY STARTED TALKING.
BUT LOOK, "STATUS: CONFINEMENT."
HE IS CONFINED TO A STATE OR
FEDERAL PENITENTIARY.
WELL, MAYBE THAT'S WHY HE CAN'T
MEET HER.
>> THAT COULD BE WHY.
>> HE'S IN JAIL!
>> WE KNOW ABOUT THIS, REMEMBER.
LIKE, YOU DON'T GET COUNTLESS
HOURS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
AND IN THE MORNING, YOU KNOW, ON
THE INTERNET.
LIKE, HE'S HAVING A VERY
INVOLVED RELATIONSHIP.
THERE'S NO WAY HE'S IN PRISON.
>> YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
>> I THINK THIS IS A DEAD END.
BEFORE WE GET LOST, LET'S JUST
RUN THE NUMBERS.
HERE IS JAMES' CURRENT PHONE
NUMBER.
>> COME ON, SPOKEO.
I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU TOUCH
ME.
I DON'T LIKE IT.
I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU BRING
ME CLOSE TO YOU.
>> PLEASE, PLEASE.
>> I DON'T LIKE TO FEEL YOUR
BODY WARMTH...
>> GIVE ME SOMETHING.
>> OR THE HAIR ON YOUR CHEST.
>> GIVE ME A HIT.
WHAT?
>> WE GOT SOMETHING.
WHO IS THAT?
>> HANG [bleep].
IT SAYS FEMALE.
>> BORN IN 1970, SO IT COULD
EASILY BE THE MOTHER OF A KID
WHO WAS BORN IN 1991.
>> LIVED IN GEORGIA.
>> LET'S TYPE THAT INTO FACEBOOK
AND SEE IF WE GET ANYTHING.
>> TWO PEOPLE, ONE IN BANGKOK
AND ONE IN QUANG NINH.
>> WELL, THAT'S IN THAILAND.
>> RIGHT.
>> THERE'S ONE.
GEORGIA.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> BOOM.
CLICK ON IT.
>> OH, MY GOD.
WHO IS THIS?
AND LOOK, THERE'S RELATIVES.
JAMES [bleep].
LET'S LOOK UP THIS GUY.
>> SO THIS HANG [bleep] LADY
COULD BE THE MOM OF JAMES.
THIS IS DEFINITELY A LEAD.
>> YEAH, THE PHONE NUMBER'S
REGISTERED TO HANG [bleep].
COULD BE THE MOM OF JAMES.
LET'S JUST GO OVER ALL THIS
STUFF WITH MIRANDA AND THEN
COME UP WITH A STRATEGY.
I'M GONNA CUT THIS CAMERA, OKAY?
CUT IT, TAIL SLATE.
[phone ringing]
>> HELLO?
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
HI, GUYS!
>> HEY.
>> HI.
>> HEY, WHAT'S UP?
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
I'M LOGAN.
>> JORDAN, THIS IS THE LITTLE
SISTER, RIGHT?
>> BUT TALLER.
>> YEAH. [laughs]
>> WELL, RIGHT, THE BIG LITTLE
SISTER.
LET'S GO OVER HERE A LITTLE BIT.
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU'RE HER
REAL-LIFE BEST FRIEND, BUT--
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. [laughs]
>> HOW WOULD YOU SAY HER
FRIENDSHIP WITH JAMES COMPARES
TO SORT OF YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH
HER?
>> I FEEL LIKE SOME THINGS I
MIGHT EVEN KNOW THAT JAMES
KNOWS, SO...
>> EXACTLY.
>> I DO FEEL LIKE THEIR BOND
COULD BE STRONGER THAN MINE AND
HERS.
>> I'M NOT GONNA LIE.
I'VE BEEN LIKE, "WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?
YOU NEED TO GIVE UP ON THIS."
AND SHE'S LIKE, "NO, I REALLY
LOVE THIS GUY."
>> YES.
>> THAT'S CUTE.
>> YEAH.
>> YOU LIKE IT?
>> YEAH.
>> YEP, WE NEED THIS ONE.
>> [laughs]
>> WE SPENT THE AFTERNOON DOING
RESEARCH.
IF YOU WANT, WE CAN ALL GO NOW
AND KIND OF GO OVER EVERYTHING
TOGETHER.
>> I MEAN, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING,
INS AND OUTS, SO YEAH.
I'M READY.
>> THE FIRST THING THAT WE DID
WAS JUST A STRAIGHT-UP FACEBOOK
SEARCH FOR "JAMES [bleep]."
INTERESTINGLY, SOMEONE FROM
GEORGIA.
HE LOOKS LIKE A NICE ENOUGH GUY.
SO SO FAR, OUR ONE OPTION IS NOT
BAD.
NOT THE GUY IN THE PICTURES, BUT
NOT BAD.
THEN THE NEXT THING IS THIS.
>> READ WHAT THAT SAYS.
>> SEXUAL OFFENDER.
>> WE WENT TO THAT PAGE AND IT
BROUGHT US TO THIS GUY.
AND IT SAYS UNDER HIS ALIASES,
IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST ONE, IS
"JAMES [bleep]."
>> THIS GUY WAS ARRESTED
SOLICITING OR SHOWING UP TO SOME
UNDERAGE PERSON'S HOUSE WITH
WHAT SEEMED TO BE SEXUAL INTENT.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC
INFORMATION TO POINT TO HIM
BEING THE GUY YOU'RE TALKING TO.
SHOWING YOU EVERYTHING WE FOUND.
THIS IS PROBABLY A LONG SHOT,
BUT IT'S A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO
IGNORE COMPLETELY.
>> EXACTLY, YEAH.
>> BUT THE NEXT THING THAT WE
DID WAS WE RAN THE PHONE NUMBER,
AND INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, WHEN
WE DO A REVERSE PHONE SEARCH, IT
COMES UP REGISTERED TO THE NAME
"HANG [bleep]."
SO WE DID A SEARCH ON FACEBOOK,
AND WE FOUND HANG [bleep].
AGAIN, IT'S A FEMALE IN GEORGIA.
>> WITH A SON NAMED JAMES.
>> WOW.
>> SO WE CLICKED ON THAT.
>> WE FOUND THIS GUY.
>> I MEAN, IT'S POSSIBLE THAT,
I GUESS HE COULD BE ANY OF THESE
PEOPLE, AND HONESTLY, I DON'T
KNOW HOW I'M GONNA REACT OR
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN REALLY
UNTIL I ACTUALLY AM, LIKE...
>> FACE-TO-FACE.
>> FACE-TO-FACE.
>> THERE'S NO CLEAR ANSWERS.
>> SO MANY OPTIONS, THOUGH.
>> RIGHT.
>> IT'S CRAZY.
>> I'M GONNA STAY OPEN-MINDED,
AND I'M JUST READY TO KNOW.
>> I COULD CALL HIM AND SEE IF
HE WOULD BE, FINALLY, WILLING TO
PRESENT HIMSELF AND MEET UP.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> LET'S GO.
CALL HIM.
>> YOU WANT ME TO CALL HIM?
>> YEP.
I'M NERVOUS.
>> WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO JAMES
MIGHT REALLY BE.
>> HE'S CALLING, HE'S CALLING.
>> HE'S CALLING, OH.
[phone ringing]
>> YEAH, HI, IS THIS JAMES?
>> HEY, THIS IS NEV.
I MAKE A TV SHOW CALLED CATFISH
ON MTV.
>> OKAY, COOL.
I AM MAKING AN EPISODE RIGHT
NOW, AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS
EPISODE IS TO HELP A YOUNG LADY
NAMED MIRANDA MEET YOU.
>> WELL, WHAT IS YOUR
HESITATION?
I MEAN, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY YOU
WOULDN'T WANT TO MEET HER IF
YOU DO LOVE HER AS MUCH AS YOU
SAY YOU DO.
>> IF THIS GIRL IS AS IMPORTANT
TO YOU AS YOU SAY SHE IS, YOU
WOULD FIND A WAY, AND THIS IS
PROBABLY YOUR LAST CHANCE
BECAUSE IF YOU--YOU KNOW, IF
YOU LET THIS OPPORTUNITY GO, I
THINK SHE'S GONNA HAVE TO MOVE
ON.
I MEAN, SHE DESERVES TO BE WITH
SOMEONE.
>> WHERE ARE YOU?
>> SO YOU'RE IN ATLANTA, OKAY.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT
A WAY TO GET SOME FREE TIME THIS
WEEKEND IF WE WERE ABLE TO COME
DOWN TO ATLANTA?
>> IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD JUST
PREPARE TO BE REALLY HONEST, AND
YOU'LL PROBABLY FEEL A LOT
BETTER, AND WHO KNOWS WHAT
COULD HAPPEN?
>> YEAH, THANK YOU, JAMES.
>> WHAT'D HE SAY?
>> HE IS IN ATLANTA, SO THAT'S
TRUE.
>> OKAY.
>> HE'S LIKE, "OKAY, I WILL
MEET HER.
I DO WANT TO MEET HER."
WE CAN FLY DOWN THERE THIS
WEEKEND.
>> I REALLY HOPE THAT IT'S THIS
PICTURE THAT I HAVE.
>> IF YOU HAD TO DECIDE RIGHT
NOW IF YOU THINK IT'S HIM OR
NOT, WHAT IS YOUR INSTINCT?
>> THAT IT IS THIS TIME, BUT I
NEED TO KNOW.
I NEED TO KNOW.
[laughs]
I'M NERVOUS NOW.
>> [laughs]
SO LET'S GET MOVING.
>> YES, YEAH.
[doorbell ringing]
>> HEY.
>> HI.
>> YOU GUYS ARE, LIKE, TWINS.
YOU GUYS COULD BE IN THE SAME
MOTORCYCLE CREW.
YEAH.
[laughter]
LOOK AT THAT.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> [laughs]
WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WE'RE
GOING TO ATLANTA?
>> EXCITED.
SO SHE HAS AN END OR A
BEGINNING, WHICHEVER, BUT AT
LEAST SHE'LL HAVE AN ANSWER.
>> THAT'S YOUR SUITCASE?
[laughter]
>> THAT'S A SUITCASE LOGAN GAVE
ME, IT HAS SHELVES IN IT.
I NEED TO HAVE OPTIONS.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> I LOVE YOU.
>> YOU MAKE SURE YOU CALL ME.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY.
>> BYE.
>> BYE, I LOVE YOU.
>> BYE.
>> I'LL CRY WHEN YOU LEAVE.
>> DON'T CRY.
>> UGH!
>> I'LL--I'LL--
>> * IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
* I'LL MEET YOU IN MY SLEEP *
>> NO REGRETS.
>> I'M SUPER NERVOUS.
>> * AND IN THE MORNING LIGHT
* YOU'LL WAKE UP NEXT TO ME *
>> OKAY, HERE WE GO.
>> * I'M TAKING YOU *
* THERE
>> WE ARE IN ATLANTA.
>> * I'M TAKING YOU *
* THERE
>> I MIGHT THROW UP.
>> NOW?
>> NO.
[laughs]
>> YOU WANT TO CALL JAMES AND
TELL HIM?
[phone ringing]
>> PLEASE LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE
FOR--
>> OKAY, HE FORWARDED ME.
*
>> GET SOME SLEEP.
WE'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.
BYE.
>> [laughing] BYE.
>> I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE I STILL
DON'T HAVE A TEXT MESSAGE.
HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THIS GUY
SINCE WE LEFT--BEFORE WE LEFT, I
MEAN.
SHE HASN'T HEARD FROM HIM, HAS
SHE?
>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO.
>> WHEN SHE TEXTED HIM LAST
NIGHT, HE NEVER RESPONDED?
>> NO.
I THINK WE SHOULD CALL HIM RIGHT
NOW...
>> AND JUST SEE WHAT--
>> AND JUST SEE--
>> WELL, WE NEED TO KNOW WHERE
TO GO.
>> PLEASE LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE.
[beep]
>> HEY, GOOD MORNING, JAMES.
IT'S NEV AND MAX, AND WE ARE
HERE IN MARIETTA LOOKING TO
CONNECT WITH YOU.
>> [mouthing words]
>> NO PRESSURE, AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
THANKS.
>> [bleep].
THAT'S NOT GOOD.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S TEXT HIM.
>> DO YOU WANT TO TEXT HIM?
>> "HEY, JAMES.
NO PRESSURE.
LET'S JUST CONNECT, SO I KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU.
CHEERS."
[grumbles]
YEAH, THIS GUY COULD BE A TOTAL
NO-SHOW.
>> WE KNOW WE'RE CLOSE.
SO HE'S DEFINITELY FEELING THE
HEAT.
>> BUT, LIKE, HE LURED MIRANDA
ALL THE WAY OUT TO LOS ANGELES
TO THE BRINK OF MEETING HIM...
>> YEAH.
>> ONLY TO THEN BASICALLY DROP
IT ON HER THAT HE'S NOT FROM
THERE AT ALL, SO THIS GUY HAS A
HISTORY OF BAILING AT THE LAST
SECOND.
>> UGH!
>> SURE.
>> LET'S GO TO MIRANDA.
[knocking at the door]
>> HI.
>> HI.
>> OH, WOW, COOL.
OH, MY GOODNESS.
>> HI.
>> HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP?
>> FREAKING OUT.
>> SO I TRIED CALLING JAMES THIS
MORNING JUST TO FIGURE OUT WHERE
WE'RE GONNA MEET.
HE DIDN'T PICK UP.
I LEFT A MESSAGE.
DID YOU THINK THAT HE MIGHT...
BAIL?
>> NO.
WELL, I GUESS IT WAS A
POSSIBILITY, BUT I DIDN'T THINK
OF THAT PART.
>> WELL, LET'S GIVE HIM A MINUTE
AND JUST SEE IF HE RESPONDS.
>> OH, MAN.
BUT WE COULD GO ON--
[text alerts]
OH, WHOA.
TWO.
>> DOUBLE.
[text alerts]
WHOA.
>> TRIPLE.
>> OH, BOY.
>> QUADRUPLE.
SEE, I DON'T--I CAN'T EVEN SAY
IT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT COMES
AFTER QUADRUPLE.
>> OKAY, HE WAS JUST WRITING AN
ESSAY.
"FIRST OFF, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION, NEV.
I'M A VERY THOUGHTFUL PERSON
MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.
I KNOW IT'S WRONG TO DECEIVE
SOMEONE THAT YOU TRULY LOVE, AND
I'D LOVE TO MEET HER TODAY, BUT
MY FAMILY IS PREVENTING ME.
AS MUCH AS I EXPLAINED AND
PLEADED WITH THEM, THEY WON'T
LET ME.
THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING BATTLE
SINCE THURSDAY.
I JUST CANNOT DO IT.
I CAN'T PUT MY HOME LIFE IN A
SITUATION LIKE THAT.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN SORT OF MAKE
THIS EXPERIENCE POSITIVE FOR
BOTH OF US IS IF WE CAN SKYPE
SOMETIME TODAY.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY, NEV."
>> YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT WE
FLEW ALL THE WAY TO GEORGIA...
>> I'M NOT TELLING YOU THAT.
>> TO VIDEO-CHAT WITH SOMEONE?
>> IT'S A SMALL VICTORY.
>> YEAH, YEAH, NO, IT IS, IT IS
A VICTORY, YEAH.
>> IT'S A SMALL VICTORY.
LET'S GO DOWN THERE.
>> THERE'S A SLIGHT HICCUP.
>> HIS RESPONSE WAS, "I CAN'T
MEET WITH YOU GUYS TODAY."
>> WHAT?
>> "I'D LOVE TO MEET HER, NEV,
BUT THERE'S WAY MORE TO IT.
MY FAMILY IS PREVENTING ME.
AS MUCH AS I EXPLAINED AND
PLEADED WITH THEM, THEY WON'T
LET ME.
THE ONLY WAY I CAN SORT OF MAKE
THIS EXPERIENCE POSITIVE FOR
BOTH OF US IS IF WE CAN SKYPE
SOMETIME TODAY.
THAT'S THE ONLY WAY."
>> I'M PISSED.
I STUCK UP FOR HIM NO MATTER HOW
MUCH [bleep] MY FAMILY GAVE HIM
OR MY FRIENDS OR ANYBODY.
>> I'M GONNA TEXT HIM.
"OKAY, WE'D LIKE TO SKYPE WITH
YOU NOW.
ARE YOU--"
>> LET ME GET A KLEENEX.
[sniffles]
>> CAN I SEND THAT?
ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT?
>> YEAH.
[sighs]
[text alert]
>> HE RESPONDED.
HE SAID, "OKAY, GIVE ME A
MINUTE."
[text alert]
>> OKAY.
JAMES JUST SAID, "WHAT'S YOUR
SKYPE NAME?"
>> YEAH, JUST DO IT.
>> HERE.
OKAY, YOU READY?
>> YEAH, I'M READY.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA
SAY, SO IF I'M SILENT, JUST
TALK.
>> OKAY, WE'LL COVER IF WE NEED
TO.
[Skype ring tone]
[text alert]
"COULD I JUST TALK TO YOU GUYS
FIRST?"
>> SERIOUSLY?
>> SURE.
YOU'LL JUST STAND OVER HERE.
>> YEAH.
"JUST US NOW."
HELLO?
HELLO?
OKAY, GREAT.
>> HELLO?
WOW.
UM, SO YOUR NAME IS--
>> GABBY.
I'M OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE CONFUSED,
JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S
GOING ON HERE.
DO YOU WANT TO FILL ME IN?
>> ARE YOU JAMES?
>> WHICH MEANS YOU WERE ALSO
CAMERYN.
>> OKAY, AND HOW OLD ARE YOU?
>> OKAY.
UM, SO WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOU
AND MIRANDA TO BE?
>> OKAY.
>> AND WHY IS YOUR FAMILY
AGAINST YOU MEETING US IN
PERSON?
>> I IMAGINE YOUR INTEREST IN
MIRANDA IS MORE THAN JUST AS
FRIENDS.
>> WOULD IT BE WRONG OF ME TO
ASSUME THAT YOU'RE BISEXUAL OR A
LESBIAN?
>> YOU'RE NOT SURE?
>> DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT
MIRANDA?
DO YOUR FRIENDS KNOW?
WHY HAVE YOU WAITED SO LONG TO
TELL HER THE TRUTH?
>> I THINK THE BEST WAY TO DO IT
WOULD BE IN PERSON.
I KIND OF THINK THAT MIRANDA
SHOULD BE THE ONE TO ASK YOU
THOSE QUESTIONS, NOT US.
I THINK YOU SHOULD TELL IT TO
HER, YOU KNOW?
>> I GUESS.
>> CAN YOU HOLD ON ONE SECOND?
YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO
HER REALLY FAST?
SO AS YOU KNOW, THIS IS MIRANDA.
>> HI.
>> [laughs]
THANK YOU.
I'M STILL IN SHOCK RIGHT NOW.
ONE OF THE BIG QUESTIONS I WANT
TO KNOW IS, LIKE, WHY COULDN'T
WE DO THIS FACE-TO-FACE?
IF WE CAN'T MEET FACE-TO-FACE,
THEN I REALLY DON'T SEE US EVEN
BEING ABLE TO HAVE A FRIENDSHIP.
>> IT'S PRETTY MIRACULOUS AND
GENEROUS OF MIRANDA, CONSIDERING
WHAT'S UNFOLDED IN THE LAST
30 MINUTES TO WANT TO GIVE YOU
AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN
YOURSELF, SO YOU SHOULD TAKE
THAT VERY SERIOUSLY BECAUSE
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING A LOT OF
PEOPLE WOULD BE WILLING TO DO.
>> EXACTLY.
>> OKAY.
>> WE'LL WAIT TO HEAR FROM YOU
WITH A TIME AND A PLACE NEARBY
SOMEWHERE TOMORROW MORNING WHERE
WE CAN MEET UP, AND WE'LL
ASSUME THAT ONCE WE HAVE THAT
INFORMATION, IT WON'T CHANGE.
>> ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE LOOK
FORWARD TO MEETING YOU.
>> OKAY.
THANKS.
THANKS, GABBY.
>> THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT
GIRL KNOWS.
A LOT.
[soft music]
*
>> DID YOU AND JAMES JUST BREAK
UP?
LIKE, WHAT--HOW DOES IT FEEL NOW
IN REGARDS TO THE FACT THAT YOU
KIND OF HAD A BOYFRIEND
20 MINUTES AGO AND NOW YOU
DON'T?
>> IT'S LIKE I'M TALKING TO A
WHOLE NOTHER PERSON.
>> RIGHT.
BUT JAMES BASICALLY JUST
DISAPPEARED FOREVER.
>> YEAH.
>> * THE BRIGHT EYES
* OF A MADMAN
*
* THE SHARP SIGHS
* OF A HEARTLAND
>> I'VE WASTED A LOT OF TIME ON
THOSE FICTITIOUS HOPES, ON IT
BECOMING SOMETHING.
THAT'S JUST REALLY...
[sighs]
DISAPPOINTING, TO KNOW THAT
LITERALLY ALMOST EVERYONE
AROUND ME...KNEW.
AND NOW, WHAT IS EVERYONE, WHEN
I GO BACK--WHEN THEY WATCH THIS
EPISODE SAY, "I TOLD YOU SO."
>> WELL, WE GOT THE BIG ANSWER.
LET'S WAIT TO SEE WHAT SHE SAYS
ABOUT MEETING UP TOMORROW.
WHEN WE HEAR FROM HER, WE'LL
MAKE A STRATEGY.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE
RELATIONSHIP, YOU HAVE SOMEWHAT
OF AN UPPER HAND IN THAT YOU
FINALLY KNOW WHO YOU'RE DEALING
WITH.
YOU CAN PREPARE YOURSELF.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT IN THE DARK
ANYMORE.
>> THIS EPISODE OF CATFISH: THE
TV SHOW CONTINUES NOW.
[whistles]
>> HELLO.
>> HEY.
>> MIRANDA.
>> HI.
>> WOW.
>> MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING LAST
NIGHT?
>> YES.
SHE TEXTED ME.
>> REALLY?
>> AND SHE SAID MEET AT 1:00
TODAY AT A PARK IN HIRAM.
>> DOES IT FEEL LIKE YOU'RE
STILL TALKING TO JAMES A LITTLE
BIT?
>> YEAH, KIND OF.
YEAH.
>> HOW DO YOU FEEL TOWARDS HER?
>> I'M JUST REALLY DISAPPOINTED,
BUT FEEL...
I--NOT UNDERSTANDING, BUT I
GUESS MAYBE A LITTLE BIT,
'CAUSE LOGAN AND SOME OF MY
FRIENDS, WELL, THEY'RE GAY AND
HAVING TO COME OUT, SO I GUESS
MAYBE THAT WAS PART OF IT.
BUT I'M NOT GONNA MAKE AN EXCUSE
FOR HER FOR THE REASON OF WHY
SHE DID IT, 'CAUSE THERE'S NO
EXCUSE.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE
HOPING TO COME AWAY WITH TODAY
FROM ALL THIS?
>> I WANT TO GET EXPLANATIONS,
GET SOME ANSWERS, AND...
[sighs]
I DON'T KNOW.
>> I DO NOT SEE HER OR ANOTHER
CAR.
>> WE JUST CONTINUE TO WAIT.
>> THE ONLY LAST THING TO DO
WOULD BE JUST TO CALL AGAIN AND
SEE IF SHE ANSWERS.
>> NO, SHE TEXTED ME.
>> OH, DID SHE TEXT YOU?
>> SAYING SORRY AGAIN.
>> SORRY FOR WHAT?
>> IT SAYS, "SORRY MIRANDA."
>> FOR--COMING OR NOT COMING?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S JUST--THAT'S IT.
IT'S VERY VAGUE.
I WOULD JUST CALL HER.
IF SHE ANSWERS, TELL HER YOU'RE
HERE, AND SEE IF SHE'S COMING
OR NOT.
[phone ringing]
>> PLEASE LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE.
>> SHE TEXTED ME.
>> SHE DID?
>> YEAH.
>> WHAT'D SHE SAY?
>> SHE SAID, "I REALLY CAN'T
COME."
>> I THINK WE'RE DEALING WITH
SOMEONE WHOSE PROBLEMS ARE A LOT
DEEPER AND HARDER TO SOLVE THAN
OURS.
AND I THINK YOU KNOW THAT, WHICH
IS WHY YOU'RE BEING SO ADULT
ABOUT THIS.
>> [sniffles]
[sighs]
IS IT OKAY IF I, LIKE, GO WALK
FOR A SECOND?
>> SURE.
>> [sobs]
>> * SOMETIMES OUR ENEMIES
*
* ARE CLOSER THAN WE THINK
>> HEY.
>> * SOMETIMES THE ONES
* WE TRUST
* MAY HAVE TO GIVE UP
>> [sobs]
I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT, THOUGH.
LIKE--[sobs]
>> YOU'RE NOT.
IT'S OKAY.
YOU NEEDED SOMEONE AT THAT TIME,
AND WHOEVER THIS PERSON IS, THEY
WERE THERE FOR YOU, AND THERE'S
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
>> [sighs]
>> AND MAYBE IT'S JUST TIME THAT
IT'S ENDING, SO YOU CAN MOVE ON.
>> * MAYBE THE CLOUDS
* WILL CLEAR
* AND I'LL BE SEEING YOU *
* SOMEDAY
>> YOU READY TO DRIVE AWAY AND
LEAVE ALL THIS BEHIND YOU?
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE
GONNA DO NOW, MIRANDA?
>> GO BE A NORMAL 21-YEAR-OLD
GIRL.
>> * MM
*
>> HELLO?
HELLO, GABBY?
>> HI.
>> LAST TIME WE TRIED TO MEET UP
WITH YOU, OBVIOUSLY, THINGS DID
NOT WORK OUT.
>> I THINK WHEN YOU GUYS CAME,
LIKE, I KNEW IT WAS GONNA
HAPPEN, BUT MY FAMILY WAS, LIKE,
SO AGAINST IT, AND IT WAS JUST
KIND OF, LIKE, I WAS IN A BAD
PLACE.
>> HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT NOT
HAVING DONE IT?
>> I DO REGRET IT.
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'LL EVER
GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO MEET UP
WITH MIRANDA.
>> ACTUALLY, ON GOOD TERMS, AND
WE'VE BEEN, LIKE, SNAPCHATTING
EACH OTHER AND FACETIMING, SO--
>> WOW, THAT'S AMAZING.
>> REALLY?
>> WE'VE TOLD EACH OTHER THINGS
THAT WE DIDN'T TELL EACH OTHER
BEFORE, AND WE JUST, LIKE, ARE
ON GOOD TERMS RIGHT NOW.
>> GLAD TO HEAR YOU'RE STILL IN
TOUCH WITH MIRANDA, AND I WISH
YOU ALL THE BEST.
>> THANK YOU.
>> GOOD LUCK, GABBY.
>> HEY!
>> HI!
>> MIRANDA.
>> HOW ARE YOU?
>> HOW'S IT GOING?
WE'RE GOOD.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> I'M WALKING THROUGH THE MALL.
>> WE SPOKE TO GABBY.
SHE SAID YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN
TALKING AND THAT SHE FEELS LIKE
YOU'VE SORT OF BECOME FRIENDS,
WHICH IS AMAZING.
>> I GUESS I CAN KIND OF SEE
WHERE SHE'S COMING FROM AND WHY
SHE WAS SO AFRAID.
>> AND I IMAGINE YOUR
CONVERSATIONS ARE NO LONGER
ROMANTIC.
>> UM, NOT REALLY.
>> NOT--
>> NOT REALLY OR NO?
>> I MEAN, I GUESS--THERE'S,
LIKE, FLIRTING.
>> REALLY?
>> I GUESS, YEAH.
>> WOW, FROM BOTH SIDES?
>> YEAH, I GUESS. [laughs]
I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ALMOST DON'T
HAVE CONTROL OVER WHO THEY LOVE,
WHETHER IT'S A GIRL OR A GUY.
SHE'S ACTUALLY PLANNING ON
COMING UP HERE.
>> TO VISIT YOU?
>> YEAH.
[laughs]
>> THIS IS A STRANGE TURN OF
EVENTS.
>> EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID
AND DONE BETWEEN US TWO IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT CAN JUST BE
VANISHED JUST BECAUSE OF THE
FACT THAT SHE'S A GIRL.
>> WHAT AN AMAZING TURNAROUND.
>> SURPRISE!
[laughter]
>> ALL RIGHT.
GOOD-BYE, MIRANDA.
>> OKAY, SEE YA.
>> "I'VE BEEN TALKING TO A
WONDERFUL GIRL.
HER NAME IS MEGAN."
>> WHAT DO WE GOT?
[both gasp]
>> MAX, YOU'RE GONNA CONVINCE
HER TO COME.
>> WE'RE GONNA TREAT THIS LIKE A
MILITARY OPERATION.
I'VE BEEN WAITING THREE SEASONS
FOR THIS MOMENT.
JUST HOPE I DON'T SCARE HER
AWAY.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS IT.
NOW WE'RE REALLY GETTING INTO
THE CATFISH CREEPY MODE.
I ASSUME SHE'S COMING FROM THAT
WAY.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, GUYS.
THIS COULD BE IT.
