Catfish: The TV Show (2012–…): Season 5, Episode 18 - Catherine & Graham - full transcript

- This is an interesting story.
It'’s been two years.

They'’ve been talking
this whole time.

- Potential true love.

It'’s either a hacker,
or it'’s Graham.

- Oh, my God.
- The park is right up here.

- Here comes a battered-up
old truck.

It'’s, like, pulling in hot.

- Whoa, oh!

Whoo!

- You'’re so annoying.

All right, diving in.
Get your hands out of my face.



- I'’m giving you
good energy, Max.

- Get your chi and your
bad-smelling hands away from me.

- All right, we got one.

Whoa.

"A thousand miles
does not seem so far anymore.

"Dear Nev and Max,
my name is Catherine,

"and I just finished
my first year of college

in Port Jefferson, New York."

That'’s Long Island.

- It is.
- Long Island.

"I have fallen
for a boy named Graham

"who lives in Nashville.

"We met two years ago,
and we completely hit it off

"right from the start.



"He'’s a true Southern boy,
which I love...

and jokes that he'’d put
a little Southern in me."

Damn.

- Jeez.
- All right, Graham.

"It all started
when I messaged him

"because
I'’d found photos

"and instantly knew
I needed to talk to him.

"He was so cute.

"He gave his phone number,
and then from there,

"we started
talking all the time.

"Graham is unlike anyone
I'’ve ever met before.

"He is one person I can turn to
when I am in need.

Of course, there have
been some issues."

- There we go.
This is my favorite paragraph.

- Right, right.
But...

"The biggest is the fact

"that we have never
successfully video-chatted.

The screen was always black."

- Oh, my God.
- "And he would say

"that his front camera
is broken.

"I feel like there'’s no way
it could actually be broken

for as long as it has been."

- I'’m glad you have
the good sense to know that.

- "Our relationship
has never had an official label,

"but I always catch myself
running back to him

"when things in my life begin
to fall apart.

"He is my life raft.

"He'’s getting ready
to go off to college,

"and we will be
even further apart.

"I need to know
what'’s going on

"and who I'’ve been talking to
for the past two years.

"I am in desperate
need of your help.

It'’s now or never."

- Wow. All right.
- "Catherine."

- It'’s got all the fixings
for a catfish.

- I mean,
she knows something'’s up.

The fact that
his front-facing camera

has been broken
for two years--

- All right, well,
let'’s get Catherine online here.

[line trilling]

- Hello.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.

Congratulations on finishing
your freshman year.

How did it go?
- Oh, it went lovely.

You know, took, like,
36 credits in two semesters.

- Wow.
- I'’m in the Honors Program.

- Oh, sweet.
- We just saw your email.

- Tell us about Graham.

- Okay, so it'’s
kind of embarrassing.

I hashtagged "countryboy"
on Instagram.

- You were just
in that mood?

- Feeling frisky,
and I came across a picture,

and I found him on Twitter,

and I messaged him,
and I was like,

"You are by far
the best-looking boy

I'’ve ever seen in my life."

And then from there
we just started talking.

- So you really, like,
sort of creeped this guy?

- Oh, yeah.
I was a total stalker.

- What did it evolve into?

- It evolved into us, like,
talking, like,

all the time on the phone,

and, like, we'’d stay up
till, like, 3:00 a.m.

just speaking about life.

I would say he'’s, like,
my first love.

- Whoa, really?

- Yeah, 100%.

But every time I try
to video-chat with him,

like, he'’ll say
his front camera'’s broken.

- Clearly something'’s up.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'’d just be mad.
Like, he could be lying to me.

But, like, you don'’t want
to believe something

if you'’re in love
with somebody.

- Have you guys ever talked
about meeting up?

- That'’s where this
kind of gets a little tricky

because I was supposed
to go down there,

but I was too afraid
to meet him.

- What?
- Pause.

- You were gonna go
to Tennessee,

and he was all for it?

- Yeah.
- Wow.

- Okay.
- I have, like,

some insecurities,
so it'’s like,

I didn'’t want to be somewhat
of a let-down to him.

- He must have been
pretty bummed and upset

that you were a no-show.

- Yeah.
He thinks I'’m the catfish.

[chuckles]

- Do you want to be
with Graham?

- Yeah.
I'’m in love with him.

Obviously I want to be
with him.

- Would you transfer schools?
Like--

- Yeah, I would.
- Wow.

- Well, that'’s why
I need your help,

because, like,
I need to, like, figure out,

like, what I want to do
with my life now,

and I need to know if he'’s
gonna be a part of my future

or if he'’s gonna be
in the past.

- All right, Catherine.
- We'’re gonna help you.

But we have one condition.
- Okay.

- I don'’t know what it is.

What'’s the condition?

[laughs]

- Do you want me to have,
like, pizza for you?

I work at a pizzeria.

- I'’m in. I want that.
- Okay, I got you.

- We'’re gonna come
to Port Jefferson.

- Thank you so much.

- We will see you soon.
- Bye, Catherine.

- Wow. All right.
- I'’m so curious.

If she had shown up,

what would have happened?

Would he have revealed
himself?

- Right.
- Was he planning to be there?

- I can sit here coming up
with a lot of crazy scenarios,

but there'’s only one way
to find out the truth,

and that is by going
to Long Island.

- Yep.
- All right.

- Back to our home state.

- That'’s right, New York.

- Oh. Okay, this way.

- Okay.
- Keep up.

- Look how limber he is.

All right, Nev,
here we are.

We are driving
to see Catherine.

- She'’s gonna be a sophomore.

He'’s gonna be a freshman
in college.

So, if they'’re gonna make
a go at this,

it has to be this summer.

It has to be now.

Here we are.

both: Hey.
- Hi.

- Hug me first.
- Hello.

- Hello.
Let'’s go in.

Come on, guys.
- Oh, my God, no way.

- Yay!
- You have bagels for us?

You'’re, like,
one of very few people

that have ever shown us
that kind of hospitality.

- Well, it'’s, like,
Long Island bagels.

They'’re better
than everywhere, so...

- New York bagels, baby.
- You know how to soften us up.

[light laughter]

I need to get away from these
bagels before I hurt myself.

- Okay, let'’s sit down.

- So what are you, like,
studying and focusing on?

- I'’m trying to find
something I like.

I can'’t do blood,
so that means no doctor for me.

I can'’t be a teacher

'’cause I don'’t really
enjoy little ones that much.

I was gonna join the Army,

and I wound up changing
my mind last minute

'’cause a lot of stuff
came up, so...

- What came up?
- Well, my mom got really sick.

She had breast cancer,

thyroid cancer,
and skin cancer,

and she had a spinal fusion

'’cause her legs gave out
and she couldn'’t walk.

- So your mom requires
a lot of care and--

- Yeah, she can'’t work.

So I'’ve been,
like, cooking, cleaning,

doing laundry,
going to school full-time.

- Oh, my God.
- I got really depressed.

I was kind of searching
for something not here.

I didn'’t want to burden people
with my problems anymore,

because, like, I felt like
the charity case to begin with,

with my mom
being the way she was.

Then I met Graham,

and he kind of started
pulling me out of it.

Like, he'’ll, like,
give me reasons

to, like, just keep
pushing through.

He'’s been there for me
through it all.

- Is he your best friend?
- Without a doubt.

Like, if I lost him, it'’d be,
like, a huge part of me gone.

Like, I really do love him.

- And he loves you?
- Yeah, he said it to me.

And then we started talking
about, like, our future,

like our marriage,
like our wedding,

but we go through
a lot of different things.

Like, we fight quite a bit.

- Why?

- Because things are
very different,

like, from living up north
and living down south.

Like, he doesn'’t understand,
like, the things I do

are very normal
where I am from.

- Like what?

- Like, I go to parties
all the time.

I do drink with my friends.

Like, that, for me,
is a normal weekend,

but to him,
that is not a normal weekend.

- Like, he'’s, like,
very buttoned up?

- He doesn'’t drink, and, like,
there'’s nothing wrong with that.

Like, that'’s perfectly fine,

but, like,
I feel like he judges me.

- Okay,
so what happened with you

planning a trip
to Nashville?

- I was just gonna go
to his homecoming game,

but I never actually did

because I was too insecure
with myself as a person.

I, like, want to be
more like the girls

he, like,
posts pictures with.

I look at them, and I'’m like,
"They'’re so conservative."

- Well, right,
but if he liked them more,

he wouldn'’t be pursuing you
all this time.

- I guess that'’s true.

I mean, he never had
a girlfriend,

like, while
we'’ve been talking.

- So you promised to go meet him
only to not show up.

So he'’s now not sure
what to believe anymore of you,

and you know deep down

that he'’s not telling you
the whole truth.

- Without a doubt.

- So you'’ve got
an interesting situation.

- Something has to give.

- Well, let'’s see
this country boy.

- Okay.

- All right.

Here he is.

It looks like
a kind of legitimate page.

- I can'’t believe his name
is Graham,

and you met him
on Instagram.

- This is the first picture
I ever saw.

- He posts a lot?
- Yeah.

- He kind of looks like
he could be in One Direction.

Has he ever made a comment about
you in the comment section?

- Not on Instagram.
- He'’s never mentioned you or...

- Mm-mm.

- What about Facebook?

- He told me
he doesn'’t have a Facebook.

- Well, that'’s BS.

- But you have direct-messaged
with the Twitter account.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- If you click
on the message,

you'’ll see our first
message from 2014.

- You sent him a message,
"I don'’t know you at all,

"but you are by far one
of the best-looking guys

I'’ve ever seen."

He said, "Well, thank you.

You'’re not too bad yourself."
Winky face.

"Where do you live?"
"I'’m a Long Islander."

"Oh, so you'’re
a Northern girl.

I got to put a little
Southern pride into you."

That'’s not what you--
No.

- That'’s not
how you wrote it.

- But it'’s the same thing.
both: No.

- No, no, no, no.
- We'’ve had conversations.

- It'’s a little different
to say,

"Got to put a little
Southern pride into you."

- That'’s, like, the same thing
with that kissy face.

- "What'’s your number?"

Whoa, there it is.
There are the digits.

- And we stayed up, like,
all night talking.

- When did you guys drop
the L-bomb?

- He was the first one
that dropped it.

He'’s like, "Don'’t ever change
a thing about you

because I love you
for who you are."

And then we started talking
about, like,

our future together--
marriage and...

He'’s, like, the love of my life.
I don'’t know.

It'’s so embarrassing to say,
but it'’s true.

- But you
understand that, like--

- It might not be him.

I understand that,
but I still want to know

who I'’ve been talking to
for the past two years.

I kind of owe them my life.

- There'’s only one thing
to do, then--

Google the [bleep] out of him.
- Yeah.

All right, so sit tight.
We got a big day tomorrow.

Hopefully we'’ll have
some information for you.

- Thank you.

- Well, this is
an interesting case.

- Yeah.
- I have to admit--

I am both very nervous

and very excited to see
what we find out about this guy.

I feel like if there'’s ever
been a relationship

where these two people
could be true love, this is it.

Or it'’s a very
committed catfish.

- Well, this is
a interesting story.

- Catherine and Graham,
potential true love,

but let'’s not let our optimism
cloud our investigation.

- No. I would just really love
to see a happy ending.

- I know. It'’s been
a lot of unhappy endings.

It'’s a beautiful summer day.

You want tea and crumpets?

[both groan]

We got Catherine and Graham.

- Catherine two years ago
is in high school,

feeling a little lonely.

- She goes on Instagram,
and who does she find?

both: Graham.
- Graham on Instagram.

- Sees this cute guy
in a group picture,

finds his Twitter,
follows him,

sends him a message,
says, "You'’re cute."

Flirtation and
relationship begins.

- "Flirtationship."
- It'’s been two years.

They'’ve been talking
this whole time.

The clock is ticking.

Time is running out
on the potential

for these two
to end up together.

Okay, we got an email
from Catherine.

"His full name
is Graham [bleep],

and he lives
in Nashville."

- "But he'’s originally
from Jacksonville, Florida."

- "I have one number for him.

Also, here are the links
for his social media accounts."

- Let'’s start
with the phone number.

- Here we go,
searching Graham'’s...

- Oh, boy, here we go.
- Phone number.

Jacksonville, Florida.

He did say he'’s originally
from Jacksonville.

- Oh, did he?
- Yeah.

- Oh. Let'’s go to his Instagram,
check this out.

This account'’s strangely feeling
more and more legit.

I mean, all these guys
are tagged.

- Wow. So the Instagram
is seeming real.

- But she'’s never communicated
sort of directly

with that Instagram account.

The question remains,
is she talking to Graham?

He has a Twitter.
Let'’s check that out.

We know
that she'’s been talking

to this Twitter account.

Graham [bleep], University
of Florida, Gainesville.

- There'’s a lot
of sports stuff.

- It'’s all sports stuff.
- Not a lot of personal stuff.

- The thing that'’s
interesting to me

is that there
isn'’t anything

that directly connects this
Twitter page with his Instagram.

I don'’t see this account
tweeting

any of his Instagram pics.

I mean, the name
is the same, sure.

- Similar URL.
- But someone could have made

a fake Twitter for him
without him knowing,

and when Catherine searched
for him on Twitter,

she found this and was like,
"Oh, that must be him."

- Possible.
- Possible.

- Go to Facebook,
and let'’s search for him

and see if he has some weird,
secret Facebook account

that we don'’t know about.

- She said
he doesn'’t have a Facebook.

- Nashville, there.
That'’s him.

- Oh, there he is.

- So he does have
a Facebook account.

Whoa.

- Weird.
- Look, look, look, that'’s true.

- Right, yeah,
we'’ve seen this already.

- Nashville
and Jacksonville.

- Why wouldn'’t he tell her about
this Facebook page, though?

Okay, wait a second. This looks
like a real Facebook page,

but it was the Twitter account
that gave her the phone number.

- Right.
- And we'’re still not 100%

that'’s his Twitter account.

It could be
a catfish account.

- Let'’s reach out
to some of the people

who are connected to Graham

and do a little sussing out.

- All right, here'’s a picture
of him with some dudes.

So these guy--this looks like
a pretty good friend.

Can I send him a message?

"This is Nev and Max
from '’Catfish.'’

We'’re filming an episode
and would love to ask you

a couple questions
about your buddy, Graham.

Please get back to us."

All right, who else?

Let'’s reach out to this guy,
Isaac--same message.

- But what if one of them
could be the one

who'’s talking to Catherine
secretly,

using his accounts
to talk to her?

- True.

[cell phone ringing]
- Oh, whoa.

- Hello?

Hey, Reynolds.

Yeah, let'’s switch over
to video chat.

Ready? Hey.
- Hey.

- Hey.
- It'’s us.

- What'’s going on?
- The reason we hit you up

is because we'’re doing
a story now

with a girl named Catherine,

who, for the past,
like, couple years,

believes she'’s been
talking to Graham.

- No way.
Oh, my gosh.

- You ever heard
of this girl, Catherine?

- Never, never.

I'’ve not heard that name.
- Really?

And are you one of Graham'’s,
like, best friends?

- Yeah, definitely.

- Have you ever been aware
of anyone making,

like, fake accounts
of Graham?

- Actually, a few years ago,

I remember him telling me
that he got hacked.

That'’s happened, actually,
once or twice,

him getting hacked,
so I don'’t know.

- Did he ever figure out
who hacked his account?

- No, he didn'’t.

- We'’re gonna read the number
that we have for Graham.

- Yeah. Can you just tell us if
it'’s the same number you have?

- Okay, I can tell you.
- It'’s 904-[bleep].

- That'’s not what I have.

- That'’s not the number
you have for Graham?

- Not the number I have.
- Interesting.

- It'’s not Graham'’s number.Really?

- So that'’s interesting.

If something else comes up,
definitely let us know.

- You got it.
- Thanks for your help.

- See you.
both: Whoa!

- News flash.
- Wow.

Not the same number.

- Everything else is the same...
- Everything else is the same.

- Except for the phone number,
and Graham'’s account got hacked.

- And the fact that his
best friend knows nothing, zero

about this girl Catherine.

My brain is jammed.

- I mean, Graham checks out.

He'’s real. His name is Graham.
He'’s the guy in the picture.

- It'’s his Instagram account.

- It'’s his Instagram account.
These are his friends.

Now, what doesn'’t check out is,
as far as his best friend,

Reynolds, know,
he'’s not talking to some girl

on the Internet
named Catherine,

nor has he
ever mentioned her.

So either he'’s keeping her
super private,

or she'’s not talking
to Graham.

- It'’s either a hacker
or a cousin or someone

who knows him
from Jacksonville.

- Either way, I'’m not sure I see
this ending well for Catherine.

- Tragic.

[car door opens]

[knock at door]

both: Hey.
- Hi. Come on in.

- It smells good.
- That looks nice.

- That looks so good.

- It'’s from my pizza place.
- Oh, my God.

- Is this for me?
- Oh, my God.

- [giggles]

- Oh, my God.
- Max is in love.

- Thank you for the appetizer.
- Yeah.

- Now on to the main course.
- How are you feeling today?

- I'’m feeling okay.
- Have you talked to Graham?

- No, not today.

- All right, well,
we did some research.

We found some things.

There'’s still a lot
we don'’t know,

but why don'’t we sit down
and kind of go through it?

- Okay.

- All right, so we started
with the phone number.

It is from Jacksonville.
He'’s from Jacksonville.

- Yeah, but I didn'’t know,
like, it was--

I thought he would have
changed it by now.

- All right, so then
we just thought, like,

"Okay, let'’s go back
to his Instagram."

And amazingly, the fact that all
of these people are tagged

and they all have real profiles
led us to believe

that, like, this page
feels very real...

- Okay.
- Which is good.

The next thing we wanted to do

was just a Facebook search
for Graham [bleep],

and there are a lot
of Graham [bleep],

but one of them, obviously,
from Nashville, Tennessee,

looks an awful lot
like our Graham.

You said--
- He doesn'’t have a Facebook.

- He doesn'’t have a Facebook.

- So it looks like he does.
- I'’m confused.

- Right, isn'’t that weird?

So then we thought, "Okay,
the only way to know for sure

"if Graham is exactly
who he says he is

"and if these are his accounts

would be to reach out
to some of Graham'’s friends."

One of them'’s name
is Reynolds.

We FaceTimed with Reynolds.

When we were asking Reynolds

about all of Graham'’s
social media accounts,

a couple of years ago
Graham'’s Twitter got hacked.

- Perhaps you reached out
to Graham...

- And someone else
may have been using it,

because when we asked
Reynolds to confirm

that the number
you have for Graham

is the number he has
for Graham...

he couldn'’t,

because he has a different
phone number for Graham.

- Oh, my God.
I feel sick.

Ugh.

So I have no idea who I'’ve been
talking to, then.

That'’s, like,
the nutshell of this.

- The first option
is that it'’s a hacker

or somebody that somehow got
into his accounts

and has been talking to you.

- The fact
that he'’s been texting you

from a Jacksonville number

suggests that it'’s someone

in his close friends
or family circle.

- Maybe someone from his days
in Jacksonville.

- I...

- It'’s confusing.
- What do you think about--

- I don'’t know
what to think.

I'’m, like, really confused
and, like, hurt kind of.

- The second option
is that it'’s Graham

and he'’s keeping you
on the low to everyone

and even has
a second phone number

that he only talks to you on.

We asked Reynolds,

"Have you heard of a girl
named Catherine?"

- Reynolds has never heard
anything about you.

[somber music]

♪

I mean, I don'’t think I'’d be
a secret after two years.

Like, everyone here
knows who he is.

- Right.
- So I don'’t understand.

He helped me
through so much,

and he just can'’t be,
like, honest with me.

You know what I mean?

That'’s like a punch
in the face.

♪

- We'’ve never seen anything
like this,

where on one hand,
it very much feels

like it could be
the real person,

and on the other hand,

it could be
a completely different person.

- Either way I'’m mad.

I think it'’d be
a relief knowing it'’s not him

so I know I'’m not a secret.

That hurts more, I feel like,

than being told this
is a different person.

- Right.

♪

- If it is Graham,
he'’s keeping you a secret.

I'’m gonna go call this guy

and give him an opportunity
to explain himself.

All right,
I'’ll be right back.

- Good luck.

[line trilling]

- Hi, is this Graham?

Oh, okay, cool.
My name is Nev.

I'’m on that show "Catfish,"

which I'’m sure
you'’re familiar with.

I am calling on behalf
of Catherine,

your friend from Long Island.

She would really like
to meet you,

and we want to help
make that happen.

Well,
I don'’t really have one yet.

The plan was
to kind of just call you

and see what
your sort of thoughts

and feelings are
about Catherine

and meeting up with her
and then take it from there.

Yes, she has really wanted
to meet you for a long time now

and thought you felt the same.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

I just don'’t like being lied to
if he'’s who he says he is.

I don'’t think I'’m meant
to be a secret.

I used to think that.

- Why?

- '’Cause I'’ve been kept
a secret before.

- Really?
- Yeah.

So it just brings back,
like, old, haunting memories.

Makes me think
there'’s something wrong with me,

like, that, like, you know,
I'’m not pretty enough

or, like, skinny enough.

- If you'’re in Nashville
and you'’re available,

we can fly out there.

All right,
well, thanks, Graham.

I'’ll be in touch,

and, you know, I'’ll figure out
what to do from there.

All right.

Bye.

Okay.

[groans]

All right, so...

I called.

- And?

- I think Graham answered.

He seemed to be playing it
very cool.

- Yeah?
- Like, no big deal.

Like,
I don'’t understand what--

Like, what'’s
all the fuss about?

I said, like, "Would it be cool
if we came and met up with you?

Because that'’s something
I think you both want."

And he said, "Yeah, you know,
I'’m cool with that.

If that'’s what Catherine
wants to do, sure."

But--
[computer bloops]

What is this?

- A text...

"I don'’t feel comfortable with
you guys coming to my house,

You can come to my house."

You told us to meet you at this

I screwed up,

- Catherine was looking forward
to meeting you.

- I was about to leave,

and then my family showed up,
and I had to hang out with them,

go anywhere.

me go out.

Yes, of course I care.

getting married?

reconciled is

how it could seem
that you guys were

so much on the same page
and then now not at all.

- I don'’t know. I just didn'’t
think about it, I guess.

- Well, we talked about this
a little bit.

You said you felt like
the things she was going through

and the messages
she was sending you

made you feel like you wanted
to still be there for her,

and you didn'’t want
to hurt her,

so you sort of let her
continue interpreting

the relationship
the way that she was because--

- That was not the goal
necessarily,

but it might be
what have happened.

I guess the only thing
I can say to defend myself is,

I didn'’t have any mean
intentions

or bad intentions.

- Your intentions suck.

I would have been better off
you just saying the truth, man.

You don'’t got

I understand, like, what you did
to try and protect me

because of, like, my mom,

because of, like,
the insecurities I have,

because of all the things

As unhappy as you
are with me right now,

I hope that we can still have
the deep connection
