All language subtitles for Catfish (2010) (1080p BluRay x265 r00t).en

You know,
If this Is your documentary,
you're doing a bad job.

(HENRY SPEAKING)

‘Cause you're catching me
when | don't want to
talk about things.

(HENRY SPEAKING)

Set it up,
organize a time with me.

Put together some
materials, e-mails,

we'll get the Facebook
conversation printed out,

and we'll really
talk about It.

REL: But do you want
to be the subject of
this documentary or not?

No, | don't. (LAUGHS)
This Is about Abby.

Do you want to be
the co-subject?

No, | don't see why.
| don't think I'm
that interesting.

REL: I'm making a documentary
about Abby through you.

Can you understand that?

What do you think?
I'm going to talk
to Abby right now?

No, | understand.
I'm just saying.

(SPEAKING)

NEV: This is an e-mail
from Abby that | got today.

"My snake Zoe died today."

| didn't even know
she had a snake.

"| kind of thought
she was sick since Sunday,

"and this morning
she was almost dead.

"By the time
| got back from school,
she was really dead.

"She didn't eat her
last meal, so now | have
a pet mouse named Max.

"He's super cute.”

| thought that
was really funny.

Such a positive way
of looking at things,
you Know?

One pet for the next.
Circle of life.

NEV: Yeah.
REL: By the light.

You ready?
Sound levels?
Everything?

REL: Yeah.

Okay. Today is
April 9th, 2008,
and I'm about to open...

| think the third
or fourth box, package,

that Angela,
Abby's mom, has sent me.

Let's see what we got.
I'm excited.

REL: What are
you expecting?

| mean,
| know there's a couple...

A couple of pastel
drawings that | really like,
that I've seen already.

But | think there's also
some pictures or paintings
that | haven't seen.

Let's open this T-shirt first.
This is her brother's band.

"To Rel."
Oh, this is for Rel.

A little card.
Do you want to open it, Rel,
or should | open it?

No, you can open it.
From Abby.

REL: Go ahead and read it.

| got to open It.

The card.

(READING)

| guess this Is
her brother's band.
The Casualties.

"To Nev. Make sure
Rel wears a brain bucket
when he skateboards.

"He scares me a little.
Peace and love, Abby."

So, wear your brain bucket.
All right, now let's
look at these paintings.

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

What's the most
one of Abby's paintings
has sold for?

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

She sounds really nice,
and just normal,

which is a relief,
because the first time
we spoke

It was just about a package
and it was short.

But...

Yeah, | mean, she's got,
like, a lot of kids
running around.

Her son was plowing.
They had, like,
a foot of snow yesterday,

and he knocked
over a power line
that knocked into a tree.

So, they had to
cut down this, like,
150-year-old maple tree.

He burnt the transmission
out on the car.
They didn't have power.

Phones that were plugged In
got surged and fried.

And she's, like,
you know, dealing with it.

She must be awesome
‘cause her kids
are pretty awesome,

at least from Facebook.

The Facebook family,
that's what we'll call them.

Her sister Megan Is an artist,
and also a dancer,

but she isn't
making as much art...

Or only shared
this picture with me,

because | think she has
a big crush on me.

So when | put that...
Made that my
Facebook profile picture,

she really liked it
and told me how nice it was,

and that she thought
how nice it would be

to put her head on my chest
and fall asleep.

So then she drew it,
and it's actually
a beautiful drawing.

WOMAN: Yeah, itis.
It's really good.

She works as a vet,
So she likes animals a lot.

| like animals.
I'm not a crazy animal lover,
but | do like animals.

She's a musician.
| think she plays the cello,

maybe also the guitar,
and she sings.

I'm not really a musician,
but | guess you could
say that we have

a similarity there.
‘Cause |... Whatever.

She's a dancer.

She takes ballet,
other... | think she
does belly dancing.

Again, not that |
do either of those,

but dance is
a big part of my life.

| mean...

| guess | don't know
that much about her yet.

(LINE RINGING)

Hey, Megan?

(MEGAN SPEAKING)
Hey, it's Nev.

Your voice IS not at
all what | expected.

No, no... It's... It's...

Really, it's
a terrific voice,
| just...

| don't know,
| guess you never
really think of a voice

when you only know somebody
In a certain way.

| happen to think my voice
Is sort of irritating.

Thank you.

So, If you're home now,

does that mean
you're, like, at home
with your mom and Abby

and the whole family?

(MEGAN LAUGHS)

She's there,
and she wants to know
who you're talking to?

Well, you should tell her.
I've spoken to your mom.

New package from Michigan.
Really big, 35 pounds.

And I'm going to check it out.
I'm really excited.

| was told that they had
used paper towels to pack.

Now we've got not some,
but tons of paper towels.

REL: What's the reason
for this new package?

Just new paintings.
| don't know.
Let's see what we got.

Here we go. This is cool.

This Is the painting
of Angela that she did,
which is actually really good.

REL: That's the mom?

Yeah.

Now?
Yeah.

REL: Wow.
| Know.

REL: She's hot.

She is very attractive.

You know what | just learned?

That Abby puts
a strand of her hair

In every oil painting
that she does

because she wants
to be able to prove
that it's hers by DNA.

Like, whenever, down the line.
She also spits in
her watercolors.

These are the prints.

REL: How many of them?
Here's the original.

REL: This is... Jesus.

Well, they're
making money from them.

They sold all the art,
they sold out.

(WOMAN SPEAKING)

To local collectors.

A lot of paper towels.
All right, amazing package.

Okay, I'll be back.

(ALEX'S BAND PLAYING)

What do you think?
It's okay. | like It.

Megan's singing backup vocals.

NEV: This Is
a really cinematic...

(NEV SPEAKING)

| mean,
that's a no-brainer, right?

NEV: I'm not sure
who posted it, but Alex
sent me a message.

(NEV READING)

"Why? | have no idea.
| doubt you'll
appreciate it one bit."

HENRY: Jeez.
| Know.

And now, this Is interesting.
| don't know
what this Is about,

but | just see
that Angela, the mom,
wrote on Alex's wall,

"You really need to
stay out of it, please.”

Now, | don't know,
that could be In reference
to something else,

but | feel like
that's probably
IN reference to...

| mentioned to Megan
that he had sent me a message.

(WOMAN SPEAKING)

Last night
we had a great talk.
She told me about...

Did you guys know this?
Chickens.
She has six chickens now.

Her neighbor gave them to her
as a house-warming present.

A chicken makes
an egg every day.
Did you know that? Every day.

Like ovulating.
They ovulate eggs.

WOMAN: Yeah.

Crazy.
HENRY: Every day?

Every day
a chicken makes one egg.

HENRY: She has chickens?
She now has chickens.

REL: Tell us
the gifts she got.

So, she bought a house,

and one of the presents was
that Abby got her a baby goat.

So she's got a goat now.
She has horses
that live there.

Part of buying the house
came with these horses
that are held there,

you know, like stables.

| can't.

Nothing.
You don't want this.

I'm pretty good.
I'm good.

I'm sure he Is.

Bye.

(PHONE BEEPS)

(EXHALES)

REL: How long have you been
calling each other "babe"?

NEV: A couple of weeks.
Two weeks maybe.

REL: So you're full-on
going out? This is a long
distance relationship?

No, we're not. We're not.

But, you know,
If we met each other

and the attraction
exists in real life,

It would be, like,
Instantaneous relationship.

REL: But you can't just
make out and send her home.

| Know.

And take her virginity.

Well, that's what
It comes down to.

I'm going to have to
really be very careful.

Because even If there
Is a lot of chemistry,

she does still
live in Michigan.

NEV: "Megan,
this Is the first letter
| have sent you, ever.

"It feels a little strange
since all of
our communications

"have been
virtual up until now.

"I made two of these pennies,
one for you and one for me.

"You have no idea
how excited | am to meet you.

"Yours, Nev.”

NEV: Message.

Hey, Megan.
Nev, 6:00, Sunday.

Yeah, | guess you just
got kicked off G-Chat.

I'm leaving tomorrow
for Vail.

| don't know what
your schedule is like
for the next two weeks,

but Rel, Henry, and |
are going to be out there
till the 9th

for the Vail
Dance Festival, so...

[ don't know,
maybe you and your mom
and Abby and Joelle

should come out
for a weekend.

You're like,
kind of, halfway there.

Fly to Denver.
[ don't know,
It's an idea.

So, you can call me
at the office or on my cell.

Would love to talk to you
before | leave tonight, bye.

(PHONE BEEPS)

PILOT: Flight attendants
prepare for landing, please.

Careful, watch the heads.
Okay, and we both roll...

So, you have to
sit between...

All right, I'm rolling
on my two cameras.
All right, rolling.

NEV: Megan's taking requests
and she'll record
a song right now.

Wild Horses?

Silver Stallion?

Any other horse songs
we can think of?

Tennessee Stud?

(NEV READING)

She's typing.
"lI think | can handle that."

(EXCLAIMS)

(GUITAR PLAYING)

| hope she sings.

(MEGAN SINGING)

That's good.

That's really good.

She's so hot.

HENRY: Can we
request some more songs?

REL: This is fun. You can
just request paintings
for Abby to do

and songs for
Megan to sing.

That was pretty good.

REL: That was
really good.

That was good.

(CHUCKLES)
She just did that.

REL: So,
on Angela's website,
on her Facebook,

does she have
all her songs up?

NEV: She's got
a bunch of them.

REL: Like a published artist?
Like a musician?

NEV: This one's sick,
but it's the other one.

(SONG PLAYING)

REL: Tell her how much
we like the other song,
where she plays guitar.

(REL READING)

REL: And the other one,
| can't remember
what it's called.

(NEV AND REL SINGING ALONG)

NEV: Huh.
That's not good.

(REL SINGING)

NEV: Search.

(GUITAR PLAYING)

NEV: Sort of sounds like It,
a little different though.

It's really similar, though.

It's not as good.
Angela's is better.

Yes.

(SIGHING) All right, listen,
you can't hold it against her.

She didn't say,
"Hey, | wrote this song.”

It doesn't matter,
she's still... Yeah.
Yeah.

And still, her voice
IS 10 times better
than this girl.

And she's clearly
an artist because

that came from deep
expression and feeling.

She found a song,
Kind of obscure...
She covered a song.

Yeah.
People make
careers out of that.

REL: So, you're just
playing this off Facebook?

NEV: No, I'm not,
I'm playing this off... Look.

(SONG PLAYING)

Amy Kuney.

This Is It.

HENRY: | have food
In my mouth.

| mean, is this not
the exact same recording?

REL: I'm not sure.

REL: Sounds
a little different.

(HENRY SPEAKING)

Definitely It.

They posted it online.
HENRY: | know.

She posted
somebody else's music.

REL: Did she post it...

Now, that doesn't mean
she doesn't just put up
a song that she likes. Fine.

But it's called...
The artists are
"Mom and Megan.”

And | complimented
her and she said,

"Thanks for listening to me
cough the dust off
my vocal cords.”

She responded to
a number of compliments
that | gave her

about the song and
how much | liked it,

and it's not even
her singing.

It's just a recording
of somebody else's song.

REL: Are we sure
about that?

Yes.

(SONG PLAYING)

Sounds a lot like that
other girl, doesn't it?

HENRY: What's her name?

Yeah, come on.

REL: What, "come on"?

You think that's Megan?

REL: | don't know.

| don't know. | mean,
| would have never
second-guessed it, but...

REL: But where did she find
a cover of Tennessee Stud
In half an hour?

Wait. Who is that?

Oh, my God!
REL: What?

REL: Is this 11?
NEV: Yes!

REL: No, no, no.
Play yours, play yours.
This 1s It!

Play yours! Play yours.

This is it, Rel.
I'm 100%.

REL: Let me hear yours.

It's the same song, Rel.

REL: Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

They are complete psychopaths.
They are complete psychopaths.

I've probably been chatting
with a guy this whole time.

(REL LAUGHS)

Oh, my God!

REL: Just to ask her to
explain what's going on.

(NEV READING)

HENRY: Say, "Have you
listened to the two?"

(NEV READING)

NEV: | mean, that is enough
for me to just never,
ever talk to them again.

Why should |
waste time with this?

| mean, If she's going
to try and tell me that
that's not the same song...

REL: All I'm saying Is,

If you come off too angry,
then they can pretend

that they cut off
the relationship with you
because you freak out.

Yeah, I'm freaking out.
They've been lying to...

(CAMERA CLICKS)
REL: You don't know that.

Don't you want to get
to the bottom of this?

It would Kill me if
It was left like this.

| can't now,
It's too late.
It's all bullshit.

| don't want to
be a part of this.

We don't know
how much of it is bullshit.

And they don't
know how much of it
you know is bullshit.

You've just found, like,
the tip of the iceberg.

| mean, | talked to
somebody on the phone,
two different people.

REL: You never
talked to Abby?

No. Which is also weird,
‘cause every time I've called,
It's been like,

"She just went to sleep,”
or, "Let me see if
| can wake her up.

"She's too tired.”

"She's too tired.”

HENRY: Are there,
like, newspaper articles
about Abby having a show?

NO.
REL: No one's ever
googled Abby, still.

| did.
Her name's Abigail.
HENRY: But she had...

HENRY: They claim
that she has shows and
she sells her paintings.

She just had her gallery...

A big show tonight
of all the paintings
she's done of Megan.

HENRY: Wouldn't this get
written up somewhere?
Yeah, maybe, actually.

HENRY: Is this how your
spell her name, A-B-B-Y?
NEV: Yeah.

Michigan?
Mmm-hmm.

There's nothing
on Abby, anywhere.

REL: What's Ishpeming?

HENRY: City of Ishpeming.

REL: Yeah,
let's start with that.

Ishpeming.

Do you know where Abby
was showing her paintings?

NEV: At her gallery.
What is that gallery?

NEV: It doesn't
have a name yet.
| can give you the address.

HENRY: It's a gallery
that she...
NEV: She bought the building.

Oh.

What's the address?
NEV: | could tell you.

Tell me.
It's just a building.

It's probably
a real address.

REL: Let's Google map it.
Check it out.

NEV: | found
the building in my e-mail.

| searched for
"Abby gallery building,"

and | found
the link she sent me.
It was $30,000.

REL: Wow. On the corner...
It's on North Malin.

NEV: Wait a second.
"Listings last
updated August 4th."

It's still listed.

| should probably
call and see if it's
still for sale.

Yes.
Yes.

So, | was calling
about that space you have,

| think it's
100 Main Street.

Right, the old JCPenny.

They just
completely fabricated
the entire renovation.

How long has it
been empty?

Four years.

Hello?

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

Hey, Angela.

Nothing, just with
Rel and Henry here,

we're getting ready
to head over to go
film some dance.

ANGELA: Okay.

Sounded like
the gallery opening
Was a SUCCESS.

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

Just a liar.
How could she just
lie to me like that?

(NEV SPEAKING)

(PIANO PLAYING)

| can't believe
| believed her.

| can't believe
| was so gullible.
I'm so embarrassed.

(PHONE RINGING)

There it is. Here it Is.

Hello?

(GIRL SPEAKING)

Hi.
Hi, Nev.

Abby.

Hey, how are you?

Good.

Happy birthday.

| got a Katie doll
for my birthday.

What? | can't
hear you so good.

S0 what are you doing?
You having a big sleepover?

What did you say?

She has people here,
so... (LAUGHS) It's Angela.
I'm sorry, bad time to call.

But | didn't want to
have her put you up
too much longer.

Is there a time that
we can call back later?

I'm just saying...
Moving forward.
I'm just keeping a record.

Fine. Moving forward.
It takes two seconds.

I'm a little more
Involved with this
than I'd like to be now.

And it's, like,
becoming kind of a chore,
so just let me do my thing.

(REL SPEAKING)

No, it's not. Yeah,
except it's not your life.

Yeah, that's why it
gets a little frustrating,
when | have to go back...

I'm just saying.
I'm sorry, | guess | was
a little pissy, but...

Try to be a little
more understanding
to the fact that

You can stop, Nev.

So stop right now.
Just stop.

Yeah, so what
are you giving me?
Basic laziness?

I'm directing you
In a film.

All I'm saying Is,
please appreciate that.

You signed up for a film
that is 24 hours a day.

| don't know.
What's the next move?
Does anyone have any idea?

HENRY: Yeah.
What?

| think we
finish up with Vail,
then we drive to Michigan.

Okay.

HENRY: And we just find out.
We just go to their house,

and just say,
"Hi. Who's real
In this situation?

"| want to meet Abby."

I've chatted on the Internet
with a couple of people.

| know my friend,
she actually just met
a guy the other day

off the Internet and
he was a total weirdo.

They met up and, like,
he was just like...

| guess the pictures
that they were sending

each other were from,
like, three years ago.

So he didn't
even look the same,

and he was just, like,
piercings everywhere.

Like, the whole nine yards.
She was like, "Oh, my gosh."

REL: Yeah, we're closing In
on the state of Michigan.

(SPEAKING)

Bye.

Bye.

NEV: Megan is at
her house in Gladstone.

Apparently one of her horses,
which | knew, is In labor.

One of the horses
that lives at the farm.
So, she's got to stay there.

But every Sunday
Is family breakfast

at Angela's house.
| forgot about that.

REL: What time is
family breakfast?

She said around 8:00.

What?

HENRY: On Sunday?

(CHUCKLES) | know.

HENRY: Isn't that
the day of rest?

| think we should
just get up really early,
go by the farm,

and, depending on
what happens,

then drive up to
Ishpeming and crash

family breakfast.
Bring some OJ
and just show up.

REL: Wow,
we're three miles...

NEV: We're three miles
from a turn that would
then take us

another few miles
to Megan's farm.

HENRY: I'd just like
to do a drive-by.

Yeah, | think we should
totally cruise by.

REL: | mean, we're here.
| don't want to just
get here and go to sleep.

Let's kick some dust up.
Yeah.

NEV: 2.9 miles.

REL: So that's her, right?
Yeah.

That means we just
take a really quick left
and we're there.

REL: | feel like
we're about to get
our SAT scores back.

HENRY: Here we are.
Megan's street.

REL: This is it, huh?

You gonna
turn off the light?

No,
we're not there yet.

REL: What's the name
of the street?

| think It's 21st...
HENRY: It's right here.

| have no idea.

HENRY: | think it's this.

NEV: There's something.

This could be It.

This Is It.
| think this Is It.
This is it, this is It.

REL: What do you mean,
she said there was a light?

NEV: She said that because
one of the horses
was giving birth.

Just pull up.
I'm not afraid.
HENRY: What?

HENRY: You want to drive
into the driveway?
Yeah.

There's a mailbox.
Pull up to the mailbox,

so | can get it
from my window.

Please, please, please.

Yes! Yes!
The postcards are here!
REL: Oh, my God.

"Return to this address
for proper disposition.”

(REL AND HENRY SPEAKING)

Pull into the driveway.
Back up, go into the driveway.

(HENRY SPEAKING)

It shouldn't
give you the creeps.

We're In, like,
a beautiful part
of the country,

a horse farm.
No, no, no.
Pull in forward.

HENRY: What?
What, are you crazy, Henry?

What do you mean?
Drive into the driveway.

What do you mean?
REL: Don't back
Into the driveway.

Don't back into It.
Why not?

Because then we can't see
what's in front of us.

Okay.

It's definitely
a horse farm.

NEV: Okay.
REL: Keep going. Keep going.

Do we want to...
You can pull out
on the other side.

HENRY: I'm gonna
drive through.
Yeah.

REL: This all looks familiar.

NEV: Probably just
from the photos.

REL: Stop, stop, stop.

We can't get out that way.

Just turn around.
It's all right.

That's an empty...

Let me just go In,
let me just go
look in the window

and make sure there
are no horses there.
Come on out. Let's go.

Yeah, it's empty.
No horses.

You can't see anything.

Okay, so we know that
Megan doesn't live here.

What surprises me the most

Is that to go to the trouble
to lie as elaborately
as they have,

for her to not just drive here
and pick up the mall
seems crazy, doesn't it?

Like, we just drove 400 miles
and picked up the mail.

All she had to
do was drive 50.

How could she be so lazy?
Didn't you...

REL: | mean,
so lazy they fooled you

for eight months.
That's pretty good.

They didn't fool me,

they just told me things
| never cared to question.

REL: Right.
That's not fooling.

That's not like...
| mean...

| just can't believe
| talked to this person
and told her things

and had real
conversations with her

about life and,
you know, feelings.

There were moments where
| really felt genuine...

Like | really cared
about this girl.

Now | don't know
even what to feel.

Should | read you
the juicy stuff

from our text conversation,
now that we're
about to meet her?

| think It's time, right?

REL: Yeah.

You got the battery for it?

REL: Absolutely.
(CHUCKLES)

Is the light okay?
Is It a good shot?

REL: Yeah.
You're retainer is In.

| gotta scroll way up.

Okay. July 3rd, 4:33 p.m.

Megan,

"I will do that.
Abby's so excited today.

"I'm at the home now,
baking pies.

"They'll be over here later.

"I wish you were here,
| hope your day Is beautiful.”

Me, "Save a pie for me."

The next day.

"Hey, babe, | couldn't
understand a word you said
on the VM you just left me.

"| just kicked
everyone out and now

"I'm In the bathtub,
thinking of you."

"Funny,
| was thinking about you
In the shower earlier.”

Megan, "Mmm, I'd love
to hear about that.

"By the way,
| will always have
a ple for you, babe."

Me, "Cherry?"
Space, space, space, space.

"I can't believe
| just wrote that, sorry.
| had to.”

Megan, "Cherry.
My body is craving
your touch tonight.”

Me, "What exactly
would you do If
you had me there?"

Megan, "I'd have you
In the tub with me,
between my legs.

"I'd kiss you on the neck
and whisper in your ear,

"begging you to
make love to me."

Me,

"Begging isn't something
you would need to do.

"In fact, I'm willing
to bet that, if anything,

"you might have to
beg me to stop.”

Megan,

"I'd take you to my
room and dry you off,
touching every inch of you,

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

"kissing your long..."
Walt, sorry.
"Kissing you long and hard,

"to take your breath away."

Nev. (CHUCKLES)

| can't believe | wrote this.
"I can't wait to fill my
fingers with your hair,

"and turn your back to me,
pulling you up against me,

"and running my tongue
all the way up your neck,

"biting your ears
as | fill my hands
with your breasts.”

(LAUGHING)

NEV: That sounds like
a bad porno book,
doesn't it?

"But let's not get
ahead of ourselves.

"Taking it slow,
though difficult,

"will be very important
for us If this is really
going to happen.”

REL: Walt,
IS this still you?
Me.

Megan, "| want you so badly
my body aches for you."

Nev, "Fifteen days
and I'm all yours.”

Megan, "| don't
understand the hold
you have on my heart.

"There isn't anything
| wouldn't do for you, babe."

Nev, "I'm going to
hold you to that.

"Get some sleep.
Big day tomorrow.

"Happy Fourth. Yay freedom."

(LAUGHING)

Megan, "Sweet dreams of me.
I'll be dreaming of you.
| adore you."

Nev, "Good night, sugar.”

There it is.

Can't see anything, right?
REL: No.

You think you could feel 11?
If they hug you?

Hi! No.
Nothing, right?

NO.

Where Is 117
Right in the
small of my chest.

NEV: You got to hold
the mic thing in,

or else you
won't hear it, Henry.

You got to push
the headphones In.

HENRY: | can hear you!
Really?

Okay. So it sounds
pretty good?

One, two, three.
One, two, three.

You can hear me good?
Totally clear.

NEV: We are close.

We are In
the town of Ishpeming,

and | think it's just maybe
one more turn and then
we're on Main Street.

Then there it Is,
the house.

(REL SPEAKING)

No one's going to notice us.
Just be cool.

This looks like
it's the old JCPenny,
right here. This is It.

This is the old
JCPenny building.
Right here.

Definitely not a gallery.

REL: Nice dream, though.

Keep It a little
more subtle, guys.
Jesus Christ.

| think this is... That
could be It, right there.

North Main Street.
That was It,
right there on the corner.

REL: We're In
plain sight right now.

Make sure your
cell phone Is on.

HENRY: I'm gonna leave
the car running.

NEV: Yeah.
And the doors open.

Let's get the seats
ready to jump into.

And have the windows open,
maybe even, too.

It might be
that kind of escape.

Rel, you ready?
Let's not waste any time.
We got to go.

(NEV SPEAKING)

(NEV WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY)

(NEV SPEAKING)

Hello?

(NEV SPEAKING)

(NEV SPEAKING)
No. Just stay strong.

Stay strong.

Hello?
MAN: Hello?

NEV: Hi.

(DOG BARKS)

Hi.
Angela?

Yes.
Yaniv.

Hi, nice to see you.
How are you?

Good to see you.
Abby's not here.

We thought we'd surprise you.
We got you some flowers...

Oh, my goodness.
Abby's not here.

...and some presents
for...

MAN: Hi, how are you?

Good. How are you?

I'm Ariel.

MAN: What are you guys
doing up here?

NEV: We were flying
through Chicago and figured,
since Abby couldn't come

and it was her birthday,
we would

just drive on up
and surprise her.

You guys are
so wonderful.

REL: Here, this is for you.
That one, right there.

Well, thank you,
thank you very much.

REL: Yeah.
What's your name?

My name is Vince.

Hey. Ariel.

Hi.
Hi. How are you?

ANGELA: How nice
fo see you.
Hi, nice to see you.

ANGELA: You guys
shouldn't have come.

Oh, my goodness.

REL: We were close-ish.
(DOG BARKING)

Wow.

NEV: So, this is a really
nice thing here for Abby.

Get down, Spot.
Thank you.

Would you like
to come In?

NEV: Sure.

Let me deal with this dog.
He's vicious.

| can't believe you guys came.
That's so sweet.

It's our pleasure.
You guys are
such a nice family,

we were excited
to meet you and kept
missing opportunities.

You guys shouldn't have come.
You guys need to be working.

You know,
we thought it would
be a fun road trip.

REL: This Is for your dog.

This Is for the dog.
A little dog toy.

Oh. That's so sweet.

| have something
here for Megan, too.

(SPEAKING)

Is she In town?

VINCE: Come on In.
Come on in.

Your house Is beautiful.

VINCE: Thank you.
And this town
Is really lovely.

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

NEV: Hey, guys.
REL: Hey, guys.

ANGELA: Where did
you get these?

NEV: We just picked
them on the road.

REL: Howdy.
What's happening?

NEV: We tried to
find a flower shop,
but we couldn't.

Hey, man, I'm Ariel.
NEV: Hey, guys.

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

NEV: Okay.
ANGELA: So... Wow.

So, where you
guys staying tonight?

NEV: Actually,
we hadn't figured that out.

We figured we'd find
a motel or something.

Hey.

Come on in.

REL: They're not...
| don't even
know where to start.

Angela doesn't
look like Angela.

Vince doesn't look
like Vince. And there's
a painting in process.

(HENRY SPEAKING)

REL: Yeah.

REL: | promise.
It's like a blown-out...

(SPEAKING)

REL: It's like
blown-out sun. Why?
You going to cut your hair?

Oh, no. When?

What kind of...
You have cancer?

Oh, man, that sucks.
I'm really sorry to hear It.

(NEV SPEAKING)

REL: Wait for
a little gust of wind,

and we'll get
your hair in the air.

(SPEAKING)

(NEV SPEAKING)

Yeah, yeah.

(BOY YELLING)

(NEV SPEAKING)

(SPEAKING)

Hey! What?

(REL WHISPERING)

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

At first,
Abby was freaking out.
(LAUGHS)

And then she put
her friend Lauren
on the phone...

We're just going
to go meet her.

Let's just keep
playing it really cool.

NEV: I'm gonna
put this in here.

REL: But don't you think
It would just be better

that we have
our car with us?
Yes.

So, let's take our car.

NEV: Henry,
you want to follow?

REL: | mean, you want me
to leave you In there?

You need to
chill out a little bit.

NEV: Yeah, | think right now,
yes, things are a definitely
weird, but I'm not...

REL: Yeah.

| don't feel
threatened at all.

| don't think there's
any feeling of hers

that's like, "Oh, my God.
We have to attack.”

Like, she seems
she's on the defensive.

REL: No,
| don't want to attack.

Just trying to stay back.

Let's just roll, Rel.
If we don't get
Into this experience,

there's no reason to be here.
Let's ride with them.

there's no reason to be here.
Let's ride with them.

NEV: US National
Ski Hall of Fame?
ANGELA: Yeah.

Wow.

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

Yeah, sure.

This is Lauren's dad's house.
Beach house.

ANGELA: Hi!

Hey.
What are you guys doing?

Nothing?

You going to say hi?
Abby.

Hi.
We've never met.
I'm Yaniv.

Nice to meet you.
Give me a hug.

What's happening?
I'm Ariel.
My brother.

Hey, I'm Ariel.
Hi.

Yaniv.
Are you nervous? No?

REL: Nev Is.
He's nervous.

You're like... You're like
a famous painter, you know?

I'm so excited
to meet you.

You guys want
to go out?

Okay.
Let's go.

(NEV SPEAKING)

Abby,
she doesn't really paint.
Her mom paints a lot,

but Abby doesn't
paint that much.

NEV: Huh. What about
her sister Megan?

Hey, Abby, do you see
your older sister Megan?

(ABBY SPEAKING)

NEV: Oh, really?

NEV: Where does she live?

(NEV SPEAKING)

Huh?
Huh?

Huh? (CHUCKLES)
Huh?

Well,
there's the confession.

Heard it pretty clearly
from Abby's friend.

She'd never seen
Megan before,

doesn't know where she lives,
doesn't get to talk to her,

and doesn't really
paint that much.

(WHOOPING)

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

Well, we're going to
see you for dinner.

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

Well, she's here now,
sO It wouldn't do us
any good anyway. So we'll go,

we'll change, we'll shower,
then we'll meet up with you

and we'll get
a chance to hang out.
Okay.

Okay. Maybe you guys
can come back to the house
and hang out.

Okay...
Cool. | will
speak to you soon.

All right.
Thanks again.

So...

So...

What do you guys think?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Hold it or it will fall.

Angela's in love with you.

Angela is in love with me.

Right.
Yeah.

You can see it.
Did you see
how awkward it was

when | was going
to leave and she was
leaning on the car?

She doesn't think
we're coming back.
Right.

REL: Of course
she doesn't think
we're coming back.

She's like, "Don't go.”

HENRY: No, no.
Most people wouldn't go back.

So, I'm 90% sure
right now that Angela
Is the voice of Megan.

Yeah.

And that I've been
texting and having
this weird affair

with this strange
40-year-old woman.

Right?

Because her voice
IS very similar.
Mmm-hmm.

It's just like
a little bit...

Slow, tired.
Right.

If she just slowed it
down and softened it,
It'd be the same voice.

And of course
we can't get her
on the phone

because she's
standing right...

You know, it's her.
Right.

But she...
She'd have to have
two cell phones,

which | think she does.
Megan called you,

right, while we
were with Angela?

NEV: Yeah,
but no one was there.

| think she may have
Just dialed it.

She was there on the beach,
and she may have just...

REL: | was kind of
looking at her.

| also texted her,
and then shortly

thereafter Angela,
like, looked at her phone.

You want to hear
my theory?

Megan in the pictures,
Angela doesn't
know that person.

No, right.

HENRY: She just
somehow found a trove
of pictures of this girl...

Right.
...who's, like,
an amateur model.

But she does have
a 19-year-old daughter,
or an older daughter. Right?

Right. And she just
found in these pictures,

this photo of an
another woman who
kind of looks like her.

REL: Who's not
even a woman,
who's just a girl.

NEV: That woman
doesn't look like her.

HENRY: Who's a girl,
and just labeled her.

Let's just say,
| could take...

You know, | could
take all of your photos,
and all of your photos...

NEV: And download them?
Download them,
and make new profiles

with totally different names,
and never make friends

with people who knew you.

And just create
a network of friends

that are actually
real-life friends,
but you don't know them.

REL: | mean,
there's a lot that...
Where do you find those?

...that still
doesn't explain, guys.
No, it doesn't explain...

| mean, also,
what | want to know is,

what about the rest
of these people?

What about
Ryan Iverson and Tim?

If Picture Megan
doesn't know Abby, right,

and Abby
doesn't know Megan.

Right, maybe these
other kids don't.

Then, these other kids,
they talk about Abby,
too, right?

NEV: They all talk
about Abby.
Then they don't know Abby.

Their friend Megan
doesn't know Abby.
Right. Her sister.

But Alex
has got to be fake,
If Megan's fake.

REL: They all relate to
you through Megan.

If there's no Megan,
then they don't relate to you.

‘Cause she's not
fooling them, too.

NEV: | mean,
maybe she's...

What about all
these other people?

She's all of them.

She could be
all of them.

Right.

I'm feeling very
conscious about, like,

embarrassing her,
and not...
Right.

Like, | really don't
want to hurt this family.

You know?

Well, she needs
a wake-up call.

| know,
but | just feel
like It's just not...

It's not malicious.
It's just sad.

Right. No, we're not
here to be...

You know?

Listen, | think she...
We're not here
to hurt her,

we're here to help.

We deserve to shake
the truth out of her.

Right.
For our sake,
for Nev's sake.

| think that
what we should do
while we're here

IS Nev should gently
confront her about this.

| don't think it should be,
"You effing liar!"

Megan Faccio.
"Are you seriously
at my mom's?

"Stay there,
I'm coming home."
Exclamation point.

Why wouldn't she call me?

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

(ABBY SPEAKS)

No, | mean
as far as the paint.

Do you like oil pastels?

(LAUGHING)

Bye.
Bye. Thank you, guys.

NEV: All right, catch up
with you guys later.

Okay, so apparently
while we slept,

somebody decided
that it was time
to tell the truth.

Now, here's two
texts that | woke up to
from Megan Faccio.

(NEV READING)

"By now you know
my mom Is very ill.

"And | can't continue
to do this to her,
and neither can Alex."

(READING)

And then, check out
this message from Ryan
lverson on Facebook.

"I need to tell you that
the reason | came down here

"was not to bring Megan home,
as Angela requested.

"I'm taking her,
Alex, and Ben to

"Dawn Farms for
inpatient treatment.”

(READING)

| mean, she did it...
That's a really smart play,

that Megan's an alcoholic.
Even though | knew she drank,

all of a sudden
she went into rehab.

(REL SPEAKING)

Right, it's really smart.

And Alex.
And that's why
they went downstate.

You know?
And that's why Ryan went,
‘cause he went to take them.

And...

(REL SPEAKING)

Yeah, well,
we're going to get her
to just tell us the truth.

| think that at
some point today,

we should probably have,
you know, a real talk.

Okay.
You know, a good
sit-down conversation.

To sort of go over
a couple of things,
and clear some stuff up.

Okay.

NEV: And | guess you
understand the necessity
on our part

to sort of just show up.
Yeah.

Because making arrangement
obviously wasn't working out.

No, It wasn't.

And there didn't really
seem to be any way

to get everybody
In the same place.

But | would like to just,
sort of, meet Angela.

(CHUCKLES)

(SPEAKS)

See what she has to say.

(ANGELA GROANING)
It's all right.
It's okay.

Nothing to be upset about.
You got a great imagination.

You know?
Yeah.

It's pretty remarkable.

But you can imagine now,
at this point, we've put
most of it together.

Not everything,
but pretty much everything.

We know there's no Tim,
we know probably

there isn't any of
these people, really.

My daughter.
There is Megan.

There is a Megan?
There is a Megan.

But she's not around.
She's not around.

All right.
What is she, 19?
She's 19.

Where does she live?

She lives downstate
and she's in Dawn Farms.
That's true.

Wow, for how long
has she been there?

She's been there for about
four months now, so...

But | never spoke to her.
NO.

Right.
NO.

| feel terrible.

And who's the girl
in the pictures?

Just...
That's a family friend.

So, | feel like
I've betrayed her.

WOMAN: We'll see you later.
We'll see you In
two weeks, Abby.

Where did my mom go?

REL: | think she and Nev
are out, hanging out.

ANGELA: Well, Vince is
already at the house,
watching the boys for me.

NEV: And does Vince
know all about this?

Smile with a little teeth.

Smile with a little teeth.
You have nice teeth.

Beautiful teeth.

(NEV SPEAKING)

(LAUGHS)

(REL SPEAKING)

Oh, golly.

Megan. Ryan.
Then Ryan had two sisters.

Amy and Sara-Ann,
who Is a girl
here In town, also.

One of Joelle's friends.
That's how | get pictures
of them together.

Josh is Joelle's brother,
and...
Right.

In real life, no.
You're talking about...

Yeah, in real life, also.
And Alex, and Tim,

and Sophia,
and | think that's It.
Sophia.

That's it. | think.

No. Then Nick and...
Oh, yeah.

Gotta have those guys.
Had to have some cousins

Just to make life interesting,
If ever | was getting
a little bored.

REL: How do you keep track
of what everyone was doing?

Luckily,
It was on Facebook,

and | could go back
and re-read who was
doing what.

Because | didn't hardly
ever delete anything.

And | guess,
In the back of my mind,
| knew that this would happen.

| think when Megan
said something about It,

| was like, "Okay,
just leave everything up."

Because at one point
| was going to start
taking things off,

and | was like,
"Maybe I'll just

"set some things
where they're private,”

but everything is still
on the Facebook accounts.

Kind of had a feeling
that you guys would maybe
do something with this.

(BOY SHOUTING)

(REL SPEAKING)

| don't think so.
I'm not really sure
| want to be now,

but I'm going with it
because | feel like | owe It
to you. | really do.

You have such
a beautiful smile.

| keep changing your smile,
because you keep
changing your smile.

But it's beautiful.

REL: Can you show me
some of your things?

Well, my mom
painted that painting.

That's done by my mom.
My mom did that.

Do you like that painting?
Yeah.

| think | can see
City Hall from right here.
Let me just get on my bed.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

| think | stepped
on one of my bears

while they were sleeping.
| Knew It was you.

I'm not a bear!
I'm a bunny.

When was the last time
you cleaned your room?

Uh...

Don't Know.

Don't Know.

ANGELA: Hey, baby.
| know what's wrong.

You want your
television back on?

You not happy today?
You took your shirt off.

You have to strap
this down to the floor,

because he was
tipping himself over
In the chair.

We just got this
new wheelchair,

and it has too high
of a center of gravity.

(SHOUTS)

(GROANING)

What?

My arm doesn't
bend that way, baby.

You're going to have to
stay there for a little
bit longer, honey.

(SCREAMS)

All of his medications
also go through his G-Tube.

This one's Risperdal,

and this helps with
his self-abusive behavior.

It helps to calm him down,
keep him from hurting himself.

(SCREAMING)

NEV: Why do you think
that he does that?

It's self-stimulating.
It's just really,

really retarded.
| don't know how
else to tell you.

Hi, Anthony.
Luckily Anthony
doesn't sneak up on you.

He gives you
a little warning.

NEV: So you have to
shave him and everything?
ANGELA: Everything.

They're in diapers.
They're just
totally dependent.

(ANGELA SPEAKING)

He's going to
bludgeon me to death
with the pan here

If | don't get up
and do something.

ANGELA: Sauce.

NEV: Yeah, | mean,
she's got, like, a lot
of kids running around.

Her son was plowing.

He knocked
over a power line
that knocked into a tree.

So, they had to
cut down this, like,
150-year-old maple tree.

She's, like, you know,
dealing with it.

She must be awesome
‘cause her kids
are pretty awesome,

at least from Facebook.

ABBY: Hey!

No fair!

(ANGELA SPEAKING
AS MEGAN)
NEV: Hey, Megan?

Hey, it's Nev.

Your voice IS not at
all what | expected.

Wait, that was a bad...
Another bad joke.

(CHUCKLES)

But you don't even
stop to tell me

that it's a bad joke.
You just ignore it.

She's got a really
nice voice, right?

Like soft and...

Mature,
very mature voice.

It's hard to say
anything until we meet,
and then... Whatever.

| don't know.
| guess | could agree
to not get involved,

which is probably
what | should do.

REL: Why would Angela
want you to agree to that?

Because | don't feel
like, realistically,

there's any way that
Megan and | can go out,

or be together,
without her getting hurt.

I'm not getting hurt.

This is how | typically
spend from 11:00 on,
every evening,

seeing who would call.

(ABBY SHOUTS)

REL: So,
which one 1s which?

Thisis 1211,
that's the phone number
that was for Megan.

And this is 0580,
and that was mine.

REL: Your home phone.

This Is...
The home phone is there.

Add that, too.
So, we'd use that
occasionally also.

REL: What if
Vince picked up?

He never answers the phone.
| mean, hardly ever.

| have to tell him
to answer the phone.
(LAUGHS)

So really not much
of a challenge there,
with that.

NEV: What did she tell you
about our relationship,
with my photographs?

NEV: What did she tell you
about our relationship,
with my photographs?

Well, you are her
primary customer.

Right.
Primary.

Very happy with
that relationship.

In fact, In a sense,
very appreciative

of what you have
done for her.

Because not only Is
she a good artist,

but it takes somebody
that appreciates the art,
you Know?

| can drive downtown,
downstate in Ann Arbor,

and see starving artists
all over with vanloads of
their velvet-painted Elvises.

You know,
it ain't going nowhere.
And |'ve told her this.

"You've been
given an opportunity
of a lifetime.

"Not many people have this."

But really it's...
NEV: But you told him that
| was commissioning.

Yeah.
Every piece.

Yeah.
(INHALES)

How much did you tell him
| was paying for them?

It just varied.
Whatever came off
the top of my head.

And It was part of my
problem, too, ‘cause
| never wrote that down.

So he's like, "How much
did you charge for that?"

I'll be like,
"I don't remember."
(CHUCKLES)

So, he thinks I'm just
terribly forgetful
all of a sudden.

NEV: | mean, it was an
amazing correspondence.

ANGELA: Yeah.
You know?

It was a real,
you know, friendship...
Yeah.

...that | was also
looking for, myself.

And | didn't want to
lose the friendship.

And there was times
where | felt like | was
really overstepping,

and I'd try to pull it back
by being like,

"I don't want to
lose the friendship.”

Right.

No matter what.
| didn't want to lose that,
but then | was like,

"If I'm lying,
it's not really
a friendship anyway."

So, it just got harder.

And | really thought
you'd just end up hating me.

You were able
to show me things that
| don't have access [o.

We don't have access
to dance like that.

So, it's really been nice.

Dancing was an
Important part of my life
when | was younger,

and | always wanted to be
a professional dancer.

(ANGELA SNIFFLES)

| just threw It away, really.

Threw It away to
have a good time.

So, a lot of the personalities
that came out were just
fragments of myself.

Fragments of things
| used to be. Wanted to be,
never could be.

That's all | ever want
to say about that.

You know, when | met the boys,
| knew | was making
a sacrifice with my life,

but | didn't count
the cost of things

that | was going
to be giving up.

I'm sort of resigning
for the rest of my life.

And this year,
when | resigned my career,

| don't know,
it's like | gave
up a lot of myself.

And | don't know
most days who | am.

NEV: She did express some

maybe suppressed
disappointment,
In a small way,

at not being able
to pursue some of the

dreams that she may
have had growing up.

Did you ever talk
about that with her?

Did she ever
express that to you?

Yeah, she says
things like that to me.

Yes, and then
| remind her, again,

"What is it you want
In life? Because you
can't have it all."

And then she comes back,
"| want to be
with this family.

"| want my house,
| want security,
and that's what | want."

Then, that's what
you shoot for.

Because If there's
something else you want,

then you need to
go looking for that.

then you need to
go looking for that.

| mean, | wanted to
ask Angela to

speak to me as Megan
for a little while.

(SIGHS) Oh, gosh.
| don't know If | can.
| think you can.

(SPEAKING)

(CHUCKLES)

Here, you can use this.

That's cool.

| don't know.

It's been a long trip.

Painful?

(NEV WHISPERS)

This has been
the hardest drawing
I've ever done in my life,

for so many reasons.

Well, it better
be good.

Better be. (CHUCKLES)

That's that.

REL: Start over.

It's...
What do you want me...

(REL SPEAKING)

| know what's inside.
What's inside?

What's inside?
Why don't we just
open it and see?

They used to
tank cod from Alaska
all the way to China.

They'd keep them In vats
In the ship.

By the time
the codfish reached China,

the flesh was mush
and tasteless.

So this guy came up with
the idea that if you put
these cods in these big vats,

put some catfish in with them,
and the catfish will
keep the cod agile.

And there are those people
who are catfish in life,

and they keep you
on your toes.

They keep you guessing,
they keep you thinking,
they keep you fresh.

NEV: It's really good.

And | thank God
for the catfish,
because we'd be droll,

boring and dull if we
didn't have somebody
nipping at our fin.

Don't really
feel like It.
