Catfish: The TV Show (2012–…): Season 8, Episode 9 - Aaliyah & Jaquan - full transcript

Aaliyah is saving herself for Instagram model Jaquan, a guy she's dating exclusively for more than a year but has never met. As Nev and Kamie dig deep into his story, they become alarmed that Aaliyah's getting seriously played.

- Aaliyah has been talking
to Jaquan

for a year and a half.

She's saving herself for him.

- That way that he treats me,

I get this feeling
and it's like butterflies

and it's, like,
this could be it.

- We're trying to connect

with someone that I think
you know named Jaquan,

but--
[disconnection chime]

- He just hung up.

- What the hell
is going on here?



- All of the signs are pointing
to the fact that he's lying.

- Why hasn't he
texted you back?

- Don't just ghost.
- This is messed up.

- "I need your help."
"Help."

For almost a decade,

"Catfish"
has brought desperate hopefuls

the answers they deserve.

- Thank you guys so much
for bringing us together.

- This time around, though,
we flipped the script.

Now, I'm heading out
with my co-host, Kamie.

- Who's ready to go fishing?

- We're helping people
who need us the most.

Let's do it!

Only they have no idea.



- She doesn't know
I reached out to you guys.

- Oh, my goodness.

- This season, we're being
tipped off by friends...

- I care about him a lot.

- Family...

- My brother's really
in love with her.

- And even anonymous sources.

Whoa!
- What?

- This is from
the whistleblower.

Ride-or-dies
who will not sit back

while their love ones
get played.

This is from our producer.

- "We just got an interesting
new story.

"A girl named Pialeah
reached out for your help.

"She lives here in LA and
is eager to talk to you.

Could you and Kamie come
in today and meet her?"

Sure.

Well, I gotta go.
I gotta get dressed.

Look at me, I'm still
in my house slippers.

- What makes you
so certain he's a catfish?

to fly out to see her.

Like, the day of,
he just ghosted her.

Didn't call, didn't text,
anything.

- Ugh.

- She's like,
"Okay, I'll forgive you."

Like, "I'll come see you."

She buys a ticket, she tries
to fly and see him,

he calls her like,
"No, don't come,"

like, the day before.

- Oh, God.
- What does he do?

- He claims he's a model, but
he never FaceTimes with her.

our show?

[laughter]
- Yes, yeah.

- These are, like,
the basic telltale signs.

- That's what I'm saying.

- Yeah, this is by the book.

- I don't want her
to get her heart broken.

- Does she know...
- That I'm here?

I told her, but
she doesn't think I'm serious.

- Right.

- Okay, well,
you can be the one to dial.

I think you
should get on first.

you should start it.

- And then we'll slide in.
- Okay.

[computer chimes]

- Hello?
- Hi, cuzzo.

- What's up?
- What are you doing?

- I'm just chilling.
What are you doing?

Neve and Kamie with "Catfish."

- What?
- [laughs]

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Your cousin filled us in
a little bit on your situation.

- My cousin
is crazy overprotective.

[laughter]

- Is this something

that you'd want to even
have us help you out with?

- Yeah.
I'm really in love with him,

but I don't wanna end up hurt.

I'm a virgin,

so the goal
is for this to last,

for us to be together
for a long time.

- So have you been
saving yourself for marriage?

- No.

We just been together
for so long,

so I feel like
we could do this together.

- Oh, wow.
- [laughs]

- I just really love him.

- You have any plans
for the future?

- Yeah.

We are into the same type
of stuff, like,

he does modeling,
I do choreography,

so we're both trying
to move to Los Angeles.

It would be, like,
a good move for us.

- You gotta meet this guy.
Figure out who he is, at least.

- I feel like it probably
is him.

I just don't know
what he's hiding.

I just don't get the
weird stuff that he does.

- And so, look,
you gotta come to LA, then,

because
your cousin's already here

and you and Jaquan talk about
being in Los Angeles anyway.

It just makes the most sense.
- Okay.

- Pack your bags, sis.
- Come on, cuzzo.

- See you soon.
[chuckles]

- All right.
- Well, well, well.

- She doesn't see the signs.

She's standing right in front
of the big-ass, red,

blinking sign that's like,
"Catfish, catfish,"

and she's like, "What?"

- Yeah, she don't believe it.
- She's got her bird box on.

[laughter]

- All right, well,
Aaliyah will come.

We'll meet her tomorrow.

We'll let you know, you know,
if we need any help.

- Okay.

- Good to meet you.

meeting you guys.

- Okay.
Going to meet Aaliyah.

- Something's up with Jaquan,

I do choreography.

Hip hop, jazz.

You gotta really learn
all types of dance.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- It just, like,
makes me express myself.

Love and dancing--

those two things
just take me somewhere else.

- All right, so, Jaquan.

In the year and a half that
you guys have been talking,

did you guys make it official?

- Yeah. He was like,
"I want to tell you something.

I just wanna say I love you."

I was like, "I love you, too,"
and I felt it.

- How long had you guys
been talking, about?

- Three months.

- So over a year now.

Does that mean that you've
been only talking to him?

- Yeah.

- And he's only been talking
to you?

- I'm assuming.

- But he doesn't FaceTime?
- No.

- Have you ever asked him?
- No.

I'm not one of those people,

especially,
if I, like, love you,

I'm not gonna pressure
into doing nothing

that you don't wanna do, or--
- Right.

- I just feel like, you know,

a person that really cares
about somebody,

they'll do it on their own.

It's just not something
that's forced.

♪ ♪

- Has he sent you pictures
individually?

- No, I literally, like,
to get his profile picture

I had to take a picture from
Instagram, crop it,

you know, and then put it
on there.

- Wait, he's never texted you
a photo of himself?

- No.
I just go on Instagram.

- Or a video or anything?

- No, he'll, like,
do stuff, like,

stories on Instagram,
or, you know.

- Okay.

Have you ever sent him
some money?

- Yeah, something little.

Just to get something
to eat or something.

- But he's asked for it?

- He'll just say he's hungry
or something.

And the type of person I am,

I'm just gonna be like,
"Okay, like--"

- But when has he ever
cash apped you?

- Never.

- Aaliyah, you cannot have sex
with this man.

[laughter]

What makes you think
that this is the person

that you want to give yourself
to for the first time?

- Um, everything, you know?

Of course, I'm attracted
to him and, um,

the way he's so goofy.

He makes me laugh, you know.
The way that he treats me.

I get this feeling,
and it's like butterflies,

and it's, like,
this could be it, you know?

He said
he told his mom about me

and he doesn't tell his mom
about females,

so it's like
something different.

He just always, like,
uplifts me.

He, like, believes in me more
than, like, a lot of people.

It's a great feeling.

- All of these qualities would
be amazing if it was a guy

who could actually, like,
show up for you.

- So yeah.
So I'm gonna show you guys.

- What does that mean?

- I let him know, um, like,
a heads-up, you know?

On what is going on.

- You told him?
- Aaliyah.

- Wait, you told Jaquan?
- Yeah.

- That you're meeting up
with us?

- I didn't want him just
going blind to anything,

and I'm up front, you know?

Even though he might not be
up front with me.

- [gasps]

- I was going to look
at the response that I got.

- He wrote, "If you're trying
to meet me,

"I don't want to be on a show.

I'll get a ticket and I'll fly
out there tomorrow afternoon."

And then he sent a screenshot,
not a book, though--

- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
- Of a flight, like?

- He sent a screenshot
of, like, a flight option.

- Yeah.
- He just looked for a flight.

- Right, right.

- Tell him
to send the confirmation.

He's not gonna come, but even
if he did fly here tomorrow,

I would never advise you to go
meet up with him by yourself.

- Can we see photos
of this guy?

- Yeah.

- Can you show us
his Instagram?

[suspenseful music]

Let's see.

- Okay, he's got a body.
I mean, somebody does.

- He looks like a real guy.
- Okay.

- He's not a supermodel.
- No.

- Which is good.

- Right.
- Right.

- But I also wouldn't think
that that guy

- Right, that's true.
- Me, either.

- Yeah.
- Wow.

- We got some research to do.

Send us an email
with all the stuff you

have and then we'll start
doing our research.

If he gets on a plane
and flies out here, great.

- Right.

- Call us
before you meet up with him.

Either way, by tomorrow

hopefully
we've got some answers.

- Okay.

to you tomorrow morning.

- Okay.
Thank you, guys.

- All right, Aaliyah.
- Thank you.

- Later.

- Oh, Aaliyah.

Aaliyah has made every excuse
for this guy.

- Right.

- No video chatting,
stands her up, I mean, come on.

- Right. One,
she doesn't want to be pushy.

- Right.

She wants so badly to be in
a relationship with this guy.
