Original subtitles

And you wanted me.

I'll undress you.

I'll undress you.

I'll undress you.

You undress me.

For a virgin.

For a virgin to have sex.

For a virgin to have sex to herds.

So I'll have to... That's not... Extra.

Lubricant.

Lubricant.

You see how this looks, right?

Sorry, morning tune is rushing down the street a little early. How early?

Five minutes.

Only five fucking minutes. I remember.

Why aren't you downstairs at your station?

Ready?

Go.

Car,

car, car.

Okay, I'm down the driveway. There he is.

He's not getting out of the car.

Mitchell, can I have a cue?

Come on.

Is this the Marine?

Yeah.

Hey, what's up?

Hey. Hey.

Are you too? Come on in.

I just gotta put some stuff in the wash real quick.

Oh, okay.

I made some cookies out on the counter.

They're sweet tea, too.

I'm excited, by the way. Okay.

Thank you.

Are you sure your parents aren't home?

I'm sure.

You say you baked these?

Yeah.

Did you bring any of that stuff we talked about?

Yeah, I have a bunch of beer in the car, but I brought the carnobs.

Ignite plant.

How you doing?

Good.

Who are you?

Look after that.

Don't you have a seat right there?

I'm just here to meet her. Who?

Your daughter.

My daughter.

Who makes you think it's my daughter?

Please, sir.

I'm divorced. I just got divorced.

I will undress you.

And you will undress me.

For a virgin to have sex, it hurts. I wasn't here for any bad reason.

So I... I laughed, but... It's an extra.

It's an extra. I have a little girl at home. She's only four. You're here, not

the house of a 13-year-old girl. I was just talking.

It's just Jen.

It's not just Jen.

You see how this looks, right?

What would have happened if I wasn't here?

I don't want any of this for you.

But at the end of the day, a man must be held accountable for the decisions he

makes. Do you agree?

Well, good.

What do you think should happen to you?

I'm Chris

Hansen

with Dateline NBC, and we're doing a story on...

Adults who try to meet teens online.

Please don't put this on TV, please.

Please, please. No decisions have been made yet.

You don't know which segments will air.

I'm going to need to ask you to leave.

Okay, that's okay.

Say your name.

Okay.

Uh, hello.

My name is Dan Plum.

I'm... Directly to Kim.

Take two.

My name is Dan Plum.

I'm non-union, and I'm not currently represented at this time.

Although it's mentioned on my resume, I'd like to highlight I recently

completed a commercial, or a national commercial, rather, for Toys R Us, which

was originally a background part, but became a speaking part.

So I'm very excited about that.

525,600 minutes.

525,000 moments so dear.

525,600 minutes. How do you measure, measure

a year?

In daylight... Okay, that's enough.

Do you know what you're auditioning for?

Is it a speaking part? Speaking part?

Five freaking grand per shoot.

For, like, three shoots?

Five grand?

That's crazy.

But there's no, like, singing or anything?

I don't, I think it's largely improvisational.

But if I should just put your jaw forward, can you do it now? Oh, yeah,

would you?

I thank God every single day for Inside the Actors Studio.

It made me realize that what we do is a craft, like whittling or surgery.

Wait, so what's the type of rule?

You call them child?

Could be as young as 13.

That's good. So how are you going to get the character in?

How do you produce the voice?

It comes out.

Boy, I'm gonna do it in here.

Hey.

Well, anyhow, I reckon that's all you need to know. Oh my gosh, hey.

It's so good to see you. I like soccer.

I'm a soccer player.

Does it sound like I'm straining, or

does that feel like a lib?

Weirdly, dude, I think you nailed that.

If you want to do this part justice...

You gotta have your body looking right.

You need to stay in your lane, okay?

What do you mean, what's my lane?

Like, that new model.

Hairless.

Boy, man.

I don't think that's it.

That's you, man.

That's your lane.

Chris Hammond, right?

Yes. I knew it.

Thank you.

They double booked me.

I started racing hell and they changed it to a first class ticket.

Now, who am I to turn down three skybarks?

Lucky you.

It is so cool to meet a real celebrity.

What you're doing matters like really.

Fucking matters.

Thank you so much. I appreciate that.

I hope they're treating you right.

I hope you're making a billion dollars a year.

I hope they're giving you everything you want. Cheers.

You know, at first, no one at the network wanted to listen to us. And they

said, how do I promote this? How do I promote this?

And I went to the network and I said, I'll tell you how to promote it.

There's a man with his penis in his hand.

And he's on your porch.

And he wants to stick it in your daughter.

Tonight, I'm going to tell you how to make that not happen.

Right? And they just said, okay.

Greenlit.

Well, that's what it's about, right? It is. That's entertainment history.

You gotta tell them how to sell it. It's not just about making a show. You know,

Chris, if I was you, I'd just fucking kill those guys.

Beat the living shit out of them.

Bare hands.

I don't think that would fly on NBC.

Don't you ever just want to bleed them?

do is a little worse.

Alright.

Don't lose it!

Give me your hand!

Our Iraq veteran is all apologies now, but this is the same man saying things

to a girl he thought was 13, like, we can take the shower together, I will

undress you, and you will undress me, okay?

Little did he know he was chatting with an adult man, Xavier Von Erich, the co

-founder of the vigilante group.

perverted justice, whose mission is exposing internet predators.

I just got to go floss. I have something stuck in my teeth. This is Del Harvey,

one of our decoys.

She can act like a cutesy 13-year-old girl.

You're so funny.

Or she can put a ball cap on and pose as a boy. Do you know anything about, like,

skateboarding? Oh, I just whacked my toe on the banister. I'll be right down.

I've worked a lot with victims of sexual abuse.

I sort of see what I do here as a form of activism.

One year since our first investigation, this national epidemic keeps on growing.

How old are you?

35. Want to try again?

When we come back... Hey, come on in!

...the parade of men begins.

And some of them come bearing kids.

I brought the condoms, too, of course. Pass it right there, of course.

Kitty.

When these guys, they see me emerge, their noses flare.

And I think it would be fascinating for an audience to hear it as well.

Can I just try that video one more time?

When we come back, the parade of men begins.

And some of them come bearing gifts.

It's time.

Okay, let's try that again.

When we come back, the parade of men begins.

And some of them come bearing gifts. That was great. I loved it. That's the

one.

Okay, just one more time.

When we come back, when we come back, when we come back, the parade of men

begins.

And some of them come bearing gifts.

Very nice. Mark that tape. Just one more time. We gotta go.

Guy thinks he's fucking Mike Wallace.

I have no jury.

Five anonymous judges.

Behind an opaque screen.

I'm Stone Phillips with Dateline NBC.

I forgot something. Fucking shit.

I told you you can't call me at work.

Absolutely not.

What?

Chris, you said you loved me.

No, I'm not talking to you. I'm in a meeting.

You're not in a goddamn meeting, and I know you're in for it for the next

weekend. If you don't see me then, I'm telling you, you're white.

Oh.

Yeah, I need services.

Hello, this is Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC.

Your machine.

has just stolen from me.

Great to see you.

Apologies.

Apologies for the delay.

It's okay. We were supposed to start a few minutes ago, but it's okay. Have a

seat and try a cookie.

So look, I don't know how else to say this, but I don't really like your show.

I don't really understand it.

I don't really believe in it, but America loves it.

Television's changing.

Seinfeld gone.

Friends gone.

We've poured hundreds of millions of dollars into beautiful scripted shows.

The audience just isn't there. They're not watching.

Right now, your show has a special connection with the audience.

Every one of our competitors is trying to top you. ABC will have a functioning

facsimile in less than a month.

So I need you to... It's time that you all play with the big boys.

What do we got on Thursday nights?

Uh, my name is Earl.

No, Bump Joey.

Not Bumpin' Joey.

Let me see.

Friday Night Live's not my favorite show.

Criminal 10, SVU, not Dick Wolf.

Biggest Loser, Regality.

No. I got it.

We're taking on... Lost.

Lost. Lost.

Lost is on.

At the same time.

It's us versus them.

And we can kill them. But we're going to need a lot more of those. You're not

going to believe who's coming.

High impact.

Yeah.

Can you do that?

Yes, I can.

Schoolgirl.

Yeah,

pizza's my favorite.

This thing.

Pepperoni. That thing.

You've seen it all before.

Oh, my God.

You are so pretty.

Mom, you're so sweet.

We need to spend time with her.

The best of the best.

From home, my house. All right, this guy's good.

Crazy Frog 73.

He wants us to cover him with whipped cream, and he wants to watch the kid

have sex with a cat.

We're taking the new schedule to advertisers next week. How again?

To catch a predator.

Wednesdays, 9 p.m.

Prime time.

Oh, my God.

Chris. I always knew it would happen.

Okay. I always knew we were going to do this. So we need to, um, how will we,

um, uh, high-impact predators, you know, it's like we can hold auditions. We're

kind of at the mercy of what we can.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I believe in you.

We're going to find one.

I'm going to be picking the lost.

Breaking news. I'm Stone Phillips. Stone Phillips with

Dateline and Easy. Great job.

I could never do what you do.

Good to see you, Stone.

It's thrilling.

I'll be watching from Afghanistan.

Thank you.

Hey,

what's up?

Hey. Come on in.

Are you sure your parents aren't home?

I'm sure.

I have a bunch of beer in the car, but I brought the condoms.

Big night plan.

Why don't you have a seat right there?

No, I'm done.

You boys know what that is?

It's the time when the most amount of people tune in to

watch a program.

Yeah.

Hi. I didn't hear you come in.

Did you wake them?

Oh, no, I was just, um... I was just reviewing the new edit, and, uh, they

walked in.

I'm glad they saw you.

say something or my head is going to explode.

I know that you think you know what kind of man I am.

That I'm not upstanding in all the ways you thought I would be when we married.

But I just want to say that here and now I

am guilty.

Everything you accuse me of.

The one thing I am not guilty of is falling out of love with you.

You're moving the show to prime time.

hello hello mr plum uh we have an extra large style dildo for you downstairs um

if you could come and get it as soon as possible that would be amazing it's me

it's troy hey troy dude what's the room like it's awesome uh i have not

I'm just kidding, man.

Do you have a coffee machine?

Yeah.

Does it have, like, little packets of coffee and sugar and cream?

Yeah, why?

Dude, that's amazing.

That's freaking... I wish that was me, man. I'll just say that.

You're the king of Fort Myers, man.

You know what would be a huge turn on for me?

You know what would be a huge turn on for me?

Do you have any pets?

Do you have any pets?

Do you have any pets?

You stick my thing in your mouth.

And then I promise.

Is this for a lying child or an adult thinking about fucking a child? Is this

for you?

Did you sanction this?

It's on our merch site.

What is a merch site?

If this doesn't get taken down, I'm not going out there.

It's just a thong.

Eddie!

What are you two doing?

What is this? I'm not going out there until this gets taken down. I need you

today. Our new decoy did not show. This is on our website.

Don't do this to me because we need you to bind up.

Whoa.

Who the fuck are you?

Oh.

Hi. Hi.

What are you wearing? What are you wearing?

I, uh. You need to change.

I have to change.

Graffiti and sweat trunks.

Okay, Dan.

Hi, Dan.

So you are playing a 13-year-old named Peter.

And you have been chatting with this man of mine.

And he likes cats. He has a sweet tooth.

All you need to do is get him to the kitchen island.

And Chris will come in.

And you will go out.

Okay,

puka shell, puka shell, puka shell.

Is there maybe time for rehearsal? We're going to shoot the rehearsal.

Come in!

Peter?

Is that you?

Hi.

Yeah, it's me.

You look different.

Way different.

Maybe.

Sorry, I'm sort of nervous.

You're even hotter than your pictures.

Did you change your hair or something?

I've been out in the sun.

Wanna go over here?

Where? I guess I thought, um... Maybe we could hang out in the kitchen.

Okay.

Dude. Do you have any water?

I'll see what I can do.

By the way, I

brought something.

Oh yeah?

Why don't you have a seat right there?

Want to explore yourself?

Run around.

Look for a cat.

Scream whipped cream all over yourself.

What's going on in your mind?

Crazy frog.

Hey.

Hey.

Amazing. Oh, thanks.

You're a movie star. Thank you. Yeah.

You are a natural.

Yeah.

Amazing. Thank you.

I get stress migraines. I don't know if you do.

Maybe. Maybe.

Thank you.

You look so good.

Oh, thank you. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean it.

Yeah.

It's okay. It's okay.

It happens to us all.

I like this new decoy. It frees up like the last one. Yeah, I

think you might want... God damn it, Andy, not again.

I need that one.

Perfect. I'm pretty sure.

I agree, but for its first time, that was a lot. And if we do have to inform

the network, the optics were really not good.

So, can you talk to him?

What? No. I have somewhere to be.

In Fort Myers? Where?

I have a lot, Fendi.

Okay. Can you talk to him first?

I think that reassurance coming from you.

Maybe the hotel bar, maybe a nice Macau.

And maybe you expense it, maybe I don't tell.

Dan, hello.

Chris Jensen.

How are you doing?

I'm okay.

It's a big day.

Do you want some wine, Dan?

Uh, Bud Light. Bud Light would be nice. It relaxes. On NBC.

Bud Weiser, Dan.

I don't need to.

How long have you been acting, Dan?

Uh, four years.

Four years professionally, but...

I've dreamt of it my entire life.

Musical theater, mainly.

Different world.

I hate feeling like I'm not up to the task.

It matters a lot to me to do a good job.

What were you...

hoping to achieve from this experience.

Something for my reel.

More than that, a credit.

That would be really helpful for getting my union card and representation.

Thank you.

Damn.

Do you know what your credit is on this show?

Peter?

Peter, my character from today?

No.

No.

Superhero.

That's your credit.

And what you're doing is more than acting.

It's much more.

You're here with us and you're saving children.

Yeah.

Daniel.

Dan.

Danny. Danny.

Decoy Dad.

Decoy Dad. Decoy Dad. Decoy Dad. Decoy Dad.

That's your credit.

Decoy Dad.

Decoy dance.

Remind me of my son.

But, uh, older.

Oh.

Thanks.

Grave clean. Oh,

uh... Uh...

Respectful?

Close.

Vibrant.

Vibrant. I knew you were a Boy Scout.

How long you do it for?

Maybe like two years or something like that.

It's a sign of strong character.

Night. Sorry, can I just ask, is that an acting totem?

What? Your bracelet.

Is it... Nothing I do is acting, Dan.

Right. I got it in India.

1996. I was doing a story on child slave labor.

I won an Emmy.

Predator has never earned an Emmy, nor any of the serious recognition it

deserves.

But I think that's all about to change.

All right. All right.

I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Hello? Oh, hey, Andy. This is Patti Patterson from ABC.

Sorry, am I interrupting something?

No. I don't think we've met, but... Oh, uh, we have, actually.

The Murrow Awards last year.

Hi. Oh, my brain.

Anyway, we wanted to congratulate you on the new time slot.

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

I thought you just pitched it to the admin.

Not sure if you're aware, but we've been working on a show for the same night.

Uh-huh.

And we've been so impressed by your work on Predator. We would love to pick your

brain.

I was wondering if you'd be free for a drink or a... You know what's better

than a drink?

A sushi roll.

Well, that's not possible. I'm shooting in Fort Myers.

That is crazy.

I will be in Florida tomorrow.

Uh, not tomorrow.

Yeah, sounds great. So, I'll see you tomorrow evening.

See you, uh, okay, okay.

I don't mean to upset you, Kristen, but we can still have a

nice dinner as friends.

Friends?

So none of this meant anything to you?

Nothing,

no.

Kristen, I want to be a part of your life. I do, I truly do.

But I can only participate in obfuscated ways

at a distance.

Do you want anything for dessert?

Do you have any cookies?

I can definitely ask the chef.

No, I'm just kidding around.

No, I'm just joking.

Oh, okay. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

I know.

I love my wife.

We don't need to make a scene, okay? We don't need to make a scene.

Happy, baby.

Happy. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm going to do everything in my power to make this right. I swear to God.

Okay?

I mean, make it your cab.

Oh.

Come on.

Let's go.

Okay. Okay.

Who is that?

Me. One sec.

Verification call.

Check it out.

Hey, man.

Hey, there you are. I told you I was real.

I like real.

What do you think we should do next Monday?

I don't know.

Probably be shooting some hoops or something. So if you want to shower

together, that might be nice.

Yeah, I can't wait for the adventure.

Cool. It's the last house at the end of the cul-de-sac. You can't miss it. It's

boring like the other ones.

Well, I can't wait.

Cool. Oh, don't forget the weed.

Oh, yeah.

Cool. That'd be great. All right. Later. Bye.

Bye.

You have to smile so they can hear your voice.

Yeah, cool.

Thanks.

Look, if this is something you really want to do, you can't

treat it like an acting gig, you know?

The last decoy made it an episode and a half.

Saw a predator who looked like his dad and walked off.

You have to find ways to protect yourself.

Yeah.

Thanks.

See you tomorrow.

Don't be late.

I'm baking cookies.

Hey, come right in, bro.

I'm baking cookies.

Hey, come on in. There's sweetsie on the table.

Hey, come on in.

There's sweetsie on the table.

Did you bring any of that stuff we talked about?

Hey, Marco.

Did you bring the stuff we talked about?

It's your house? Uh, well, technically my mommy and daddy's house.

Hey, just hopped out of the shower.

Just put a pizza in the oven.

Just picture me naked and come on in.

I could figure something out.

Oh, what about a little beer float?

I'll do that.

Don't go anywhere.

Oh, they're gonna love it.

They're gonna love this.

How you doing, Stanley?

Are you Jeremy?

Jeremy's talented tongue?

You nervous?

That's okay, me too.

What did you think you wanted to do?

I was going to do the shit, but I didn't. Did you go down?

No, Christopher, I need to talk to you.

Oh, boy.

I

don't know

why you knocked me out. What's she doing?

it's okay okay so

we got a fan letter from five foot cop dear chris hansen and the good

man of the national broadcasting corporation my name is michael sasher

headquarters

be advised to lock myself out the unit

I write to you today to thank you from the bottom of my heart for promoting

goodness in this troubled world we live in.

I also want to thank you for promoting respect for law enforcement in your

program.

What this world needs, in my opinion, is a good, hard-looking America.

But what is that but your show?

find yourself down in murphy texas please know that you have a friendly

face here in our precinct she this could only look good

for election season just name that program how to catch a predator

I tried to get in touch with Andy, but when they couldn't, they reached out to

me. They wanted us to come shoot in their town, so I started to troll the

area. It's the same old shit.

Factory worker, plumber, looser, boring.

Then, I catch something that's like nothing I've ever seen.

This fish comes along, takes a bite, and then, there it is.

He comes back, bites again.

I never lose these guys because they are usually fucking idiots.

This is not your average PL.

He was careful not to give anything away, but boy, did he love to chat.

We battled.

I tried every trick in the book, Chris.

I was leaving him in for hours, but he wouldn't take the bait.

I was ready to give up.

But then, he slipped.

Awake.

Inventing Texas.

So I did some digging.

The only one I could find was a private event for government associates of a

dead senator.

The most important piece in Texas.

We never caught a government operative or a man on the inside.

This, this is it.

This guy's got to be CIA, NSA, or

he is at the highest levels of government.

I mean, what are we talking about here? Are we talking about a mayor or a

congressman? Are we talking about the president?

Chris, we already have our schedule for the coming months in the Jersey Shores

after this.

That is a priority for the now. I have a feeling about this guy, Chris.

I really do.

No, it's not enough information to act.

She's right.

Keep looking and let me know if you have something more.

I like it.

I like it so much.

Nice work.

Excuse me. T minus 10 minutes.

Can you bring up the last couple of clips we shot?

Oh, yeah, we're good.

Well, I'm thinking of trying something new I want to see.

Okay, we're good.

You just have to be very clean in your abs.

Your abs.

I think that's too far.

Stick to the suck and be sucked stuff.

Okay.

the opportunity to comment before we run a story about you next week. And what is

the story about?

A young woman and her extramarital activities.

Does that ring a bell?

If I call NBC, what would they say about this?

America's favorite pervert catcher sticking fingers where fingers shouldn't

be undone.

Hello? Hi, I'm Mary, Chris Hansen. Yes, I know you don't.

Yeah, yeah, sorry.

Hey, hey, Dad.

Hi, boys. Yeah,

I was just calling to talk to you and just calling to talk to the boys.

This is here.

Hey.

Hi. Trouble finding the place?

Not really.

Shoot. Spilled soda on my shirt. I'm going to go change. Be back in a sec.

How'd it look?

You were great.

If you guys kept me the logs in order for us next time, I could use all of

that stuff.

I could have kept him in there for 20 minutes.

Do you have a Diet Coke?

You okay?

Why don't you have a seat right there?

Sit down.

What are you doing out here?

I like sucking and being cute.

Where's that in five?

Is it the Old Testament or the New Testament?

To do this.

You don't have the right

to do this.

Who do you think you are?

I'm Chris Hansen with Deadline NBC, and we're doing a story on adults who

meet young teens online. You're doing this for television?

For television?

All right. There he is.

There he is.

Hey. Oh, that's amazing. That's very amazing.

That's great.

Yeah.

Hey, hey, hey.

He's not a leper.

He just touched you.

Doesn't that disgust you?

Yeah.

Why do you do this, Andy?

Because we're going to be the number one show on TV?

Yeah.

I don't mean to sound harsh.

But if you had children, you would understand.

Picture this.

You're in an IHOP eating alone and you notice a girl hunched over and

the mother is berating her for overeating pancakes.

She says, you don't want to be a fat pig.

And you think to yourself, well, God, this is pretty wrong.

And then the mother gets louder, more insulting. And then finally the girl

starts crying.

What would you do?

Um, I might hand the daughter the number to social services and tell her to eat

whatever she likes.

And then I might try to hurt the mother in some way.

Not physically, but, um, honey, that's the name of the show. What would

you do?

Oh.

It's a hidden camera show.

Where we put strangers in social situations. It's feel good.

Do you know John Quinones?

Hi, sir. I'm John Quinones. I'm John Quinones.

He's incredible.

He wants you.

Well, I'm flattered, obviously.

I don't think I'm the kind of producer that does what would feel good stuff.

And I also don't think I'm the kind of producer that has a lot of respect for

people who want to steal my show.

Okay, okay.

Look, I dominated a lot of space at this network.

I'd say the majority of shows that have been successful in the last 10 years

have had a hand in.

I know the feeling, and I know that you think you're just walking the same path.

But Chris is not the guy to hold hands with.

He is not that guy.

You know, I met Chris once, and I swear he didn't even mention you.

Makes me question if he understands what you're worth.

I just want to protect you, you know.

Who is this?

Hey, Chris.

Hi, Jeff.

Lost. It's polar bears.

Yeah, these polar bears are going to fucking kill us, Chris.

How? I know people look up to you, but let me be frank with you right now. This

new material, it ain't cutting it.

Jeff, we have something very special on the line.

A real man on the inside kind of story.

Did you find him?

What?

The fish.

Did you find him? The fish?

Where's the fish?

Come here.

Give me a hug.

Candy's been filling my fucking eye. I've been trawling balls deep all day.

So I had him on the hook, right?

But every time I tried to track him, okay, I kept getting blocked.

It's in here.

I need you to guarantee that he has to be extremely, extremely important.

100%. This is big.

The biggest.

A whale.

I think it's a whale. A whale. Definitely.

Okay. Okay.

could go there and be the bait because i can tell you one thing he's not coming

to the jersey shore you can't go over my head to relocate shoots chris do you

realize what that communicates to the more it makes me look like i don't know

what i am doing we have full docketed guys coming to the jersey shore we have

no plan we are chasing man without a name

Sorry to interrupt. Does the show cover snacks for the flight? I'd love to grab

some gum if it's not too much of a thing.

Yeah.

What's going on in here?

I need to do something big.

Bigger than lost.

I'm Stone Phillips, and this is Dateline NBC.

And Murphy, we've got more firepower to save himself.

And more cartons.

H&K MP5.

Grenade Launcher United.

Many of us here...

Serve together, or there's a storm.

I can assure you, Mr. Hansel, you're not going to find a police force with more

oomph.

And after this show airs on Wednesday night, no verbiage will dare set foot in

Murphy again.

After we're done, this will be the safest town in America.

Now let's have some barbecue.

Keep going. It's nice to put the face with the face. I got to tell you,

Austin, they don't want to give us funding.

This is really, really going to help us out a lot. Thank you so, so much. What's

your name, Austin?

Xavier.

Xavier. All right. You got a hot horse?

Xavier is the Reese Perot here.

Dan Plum.

Dan Plum.

It's an honor. All right. Honor's all mine. Now, what does that mean?

It's an industrial metal group called Nine Inch Nails.

Gary! Bring the cup, she's got nine-inch nails on her. Yeah, I got you right.

Hi, I am Andy Bender.

Andy Bender. I'm your producer, and it's so wonderful to be here. I really want

to check out your equipment here.

Oh, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm very curious about this. I'd love to meet,

find a time to meet in private. I mean, this is really cool. My operation.

Sure. It's really good. You're going to reward me hard. Yeah, let's reward me.

Thank you. You sound like a little boy.

Hello, girl.

I don't know what they want me to be. I'm kind of a mirror.

I'm Chris Hansen, with Dateline NBC, and we're doing a story on adults who are

being young kids.

And next week, the Predator team is in Fort Myers, Florida.

The story of the man we'll meet next week is downright bizarre.

I guess he thought he'd be able to hang out in the kitchen.

This potential Predator walks into the house, takes off his clothes, and whips

out a common dessert ingredient, much to the surprise of our decoy. What's going

on here? Well, after this episode, may never order a hot fudge sundae again.

We met on TV. I'm the pervert that showed you my penis.

And now I'm in prison. Please let me out.

Dude, it's me. It's Troy. Don't worry.

You saw my teaser.

Me and Amanda and fucking Sobo and Christian, Rajiv, we're all freaking

partying. We just watched it, man.

What'd you think? Did you think I was good?

I mean...

Yeah, it doesn't matter, right?

What do you mean it doesn't matter?

What kind of answer is that?

Dude, I mean, like, here's the thing is that you were only on screen for like 0

.1 seconds being all scared of a predator.

Yeah, that's the character.

That's the point.

As your friend, I'm proud.

But if I was a random viewer, I would think... absolutely 0.0% about you.

I mean, dude, here's the thing.

You were on TV.

I wish I was on TV.

That would be amazing.

Maybe you're not on TV because you're a bad actor.

What'd you say?

I know you don't mean that shit, dude.

Don't have to be afraid of the ball.

It's weird seeing myself on TV.

I think also my friends don't really understand. Sorry.

I can get it.

Sorry. My friends don't really understand what I'm doing here.

How could they understand, Dan?

Here.

The way that happens.

I think it's a little vague.

You go into it.

Close your eyes.

It's 1996.

You're in the public home.

It's in India.

You're at a cottage bar.

A few drinks in.

Local approaches you and asks if you're covering missing children.

You don't know what he's talking about, so he tells you.

the southern state of India, children are disappearing at night.

It's clinical.

No village ever hit twice.

No suspects.

So the village will start turning on each other and the lynching begins.

The surrounding jungle, they find the children in bits.

Chris, can I open my eyes now?

No, not yet.

The authorities said it was wolves.

But I found a witness.

Young girl gave me that bracelet.

She told me what she saw.

The darkness.

It cannot be understood.

It exists outside of time and space.

Not a man.

A monster.

No one believed this girl.

But I did.

So you can tell your friends.

That is what we're doing.

We're cleansing the world.

of an ancient evil.

And that evil waits for us in person.

The whale.

The whale.

Then he's an Indian guy.

Chris Hansen. Chris. He was supposed to be Chris.

He's coming.

We've got to move.

Look, I know that we're set to go tomorrow.

Oh, he's coming now. But listen, my hands are tied. I've got four Sonys in

the living room.

Three Sonys. Yeah, I got it.

Get what you can, how you can.

You two, I need you both on keyboards. And anyone that you have coming

tomorrow. Everybody,

make it good.

Break your ground.

Wait, is this him?

Well, you need to know this.

Yeah, I need to know.

Enhance the car.

Enhance. Drive telecoms to get in position.

Got it.

Fuck, it's fucking grainy.

It's not getting out.

Are they in or are they out?

You have one new message.

Hey, Chris.

I'm getting the feeling you're ignoring me.

Listen here, champ.

I need sources.

You're not giving me a lot of options.

You don't give me a comment.

I'm going to get to everyone in your life.

What the fuck is he doing?

What's he doing?

Does anybody hear me? I don't understand.

Do you know how much money this is costing every fucking second? You don't.

Because I do the budget. You don't do my job. I do my... What

happened?

They know we're here.

How the hell is this possible?

Hackers. That doesn't make fucking sense. The human report is beyond our

control here. Okay, we need to change houses.

Hey.

Chris?

We need to change houses.

Okay.

Well, Chris, no one will come to this house.

If they know that we are here and we are also over 100K in the hole.

It's not about money for me.

It is about money. What are you doing? Where are we going?

What are you doing?

Chris?

I'm not leaving until the whale comes.

No, no.

Wait. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Chris?

We're not leaving.

I swear to fucking God that if you do not get your shit.

Together, I will call the network, motherfucker.

Hey! Can you hear me?

Do you understand what I am saying to you?

I am pulling the plug.

Pretty nice place you got here.

Yeah.

So what's up?

Nothing. Did you bring the razors?

Sure did.

What did you want to do with them?

I was kind of confused.

I'll show you later.

You probably go to a lot of boys' homes, huh?

Nah.

Don't even get out of the house much rather make it off the computer

You

said

I wish I could hug you.

That'd be nice.

Why are you reading this? Then you said, can I be your first at sex?

I mean, if that's what you wanted to do.

What in the world are you doing here?

I'm just hanging out with you men.

Hanging out?

With a 13-year-old.

Look, I'm just going to leave.

Well, if you want to leave, you're free to go. But before you do, you should

know I'm not 13.

I'm 23.

My real name is Dan Plum.

And you're on TV.

Whoa. What are you saying?

I don't want to be on TV.

I'm a professionally trained actor.

And I'm helping tell a story on bad guys who try to meet kids online.

And I hope you remember my face as the face that

you saw when everything changed.

I'm just going to go.

You know, in the old days, when people would act so

depraved, they'd drag you down to the town square,

tie you to a post, and whip you

for all to see.

There used to be a pillory in every civilized town.

Now there's tillers in every home.

And I won't.

So you do.

Hi, Patty.

It's Andy.

Gosh,

I keep asking myself, what am I doing?

Which I guess...

is a variant of what would you do? So I think that this is a good sign.

Mr. Quinones would be curious about how we mesh.

And I'm hoping, you know, if he really is a nice guy, hey, maybe it'll rub off

on me.

He inquires about his story about me.

I'm not worried.

I can face it.

We just need to get him.

How old is she?

She's 30, Andy.

Bravo.

We can't let him get away.

All I need is for you to believe.

I'm done.

Eddie.

The wheel is coming.

I think that's him.

I think it's pulled from A&M BioMajor's profile.

It's Randy.

He's given us more than a nightly, hasn't he?

Try him.

Holy buck!

He couldn't resist me.

Look it up!

Oh, my.

Attorney Bill Conrad's landline.

If you voted for me for county judge, thank you.

Hey, Will.

It's Luke.

Why don't you pick up and we can talk more?

I'm in town for one more day to see my aunt.

And she's going to be gone for the night.

So, try me back.

Hey, Cortland.

Yeah, Mr. Colonel. Good morning. It is.

I still got that burger.

Do you know where to find me?

I do.

Now, as district attorney, I've seen all sorts of horrible behavior.

And I understand how people can see criminals as other than human.

Despite the child endangerment we've substantiated, the defendant here is not

a monster.

He's a man.

But he has brought a disease to our community.

And by putting this man away, we send a message.

A message that we like our slice of Texas just how it is.

And we intend to keep it that way.

Could I feel your cock?

How thick are you?

I like younger.

Are you going to fuck me?

Do I get to fuck you too?

Do you like to kiss?

Cuddle?

Did you cum a lot when you J slash O question mark.

He's back.

He's back.

Hey,

man, I'm sorry.

That sucked, man. That wasn't cool.

Amen.

you coming over?

I'm thinking about it.

You haven't left yet?

No.

Well, are you coming over or not?

Well, a little later.

What do you want to do?

What do you like?

I like musicals.

Maybe we could watch one and hang out.

That would be nice.

Have you ever tried Vegemite?

What's that?

Have you ever been to Australia?

Uh-uh.

Well, I just love it.

I've seen the most beautiful things in my life there.

The kangaroos.

That's cool.

Hey, anyway, I get hard like super easy.

Why don't you come over and make it hard?

I, uh... I gotta go.

I worked with that DA for ten years.

Met my wife.

Met my kids.

I need to look him in the eyes.

I need to put him on television.

I need to put his head on a stick.

We're going to him. Yes. Don't do that.

They come to us.

I think we need to stick to protocol. Aye, yo.

All this information's for machinery.

Begin again.

Take my space.

Hey, protocol, protocol, protocol. Fuck protocol!

I'm sorry, Chief. We should really do this by the book.

By the book?

I need you.

We need you.

If we're going up against this man, we have to die our lives. We don't have

that kind of time.

While we stand here dawning, he will erase his tracks if we don't

get him today.

And then we'll lose him forever.

She's twice.

You're part of a story much bigger than yourselves.

Remember, we're here to make a statement.

Veto's are not allowed in Texas.

If you've seen the camera, all you have to do is catch us in front of it.

Thank you for your service. Thank you.

Mary.

Mary. Thank you.

Thank you. Mary.

Mary.

Mary.

Hi.

I'm coming home tomorrow.

Yes. And I'll be there for Thanksgiving.

Chris, there are photos of you.

I've got a hat to job. There's no one going to be on national news.

It's a part of the course.

You're going to be so proud of me, Mary.

I love you, Mary.

Love the boys.

Hey, Chris?

Chris, excuse me.

Can we get a photo real quick?

Awesome.

Thanks, man.

I'm a big fan.

You're doing the Lord's work. You know that, right?

All right.

Big smiles.

Big smiles, Melvin. Big smiles.

If we do that, I want cameras on your guns.

Let's make it possible.

Mitchell, cameras on guns.

How am I going to get my fucking interview?

Sorry, I can't hear you that well. We are so slow, except for you. Yeah.

Like, coming to the cold door. I was thinking about it.

And, uh... I don't want to.

Sorry? What do you mean?

No, I don't want to.

Oh, God, Andy.

I stuck my neck out for you.

Well, I'm sorry if I wasted your time.

Why don't you take a week?

I just need you to talk to him.

Get him outside.

I'll get the interview.

If you don't be a part of television history.

I can't go out there.

You're either with me or you're with him.

Son, your definition of power and my definition of power

are vastly different.

I know you're in there.

Just come outside.

It'll be safer if you come outside.

I just... I just want to watch musicals with you.

Yeah, I know.

I think I'm in the minority of people who actually think the film is better

than the stage production.

525,600 minutes.

525,000 moments so dear.

525,600 minutes.

How do you measure, measure a year?

in daylight in sunsets in midnights and cups of

coffee in inches

I think I can make this work.

What would have happened if I wasn't here?

Hey, sorry, are you, uh, Daniel Plum?

Aw, man, I think I have your mail.

Yeah, I'm, uh, two and a half, not two and a quarter.

Yeah, thanks. Thank you. No worries. No worries. Here you go. You know, at this

point, I swear, you should just, like, put my name down on the mail because the

last three tenants who have lived here, I've gotten all of their mail. It's

insane, dude. Okay. It's like no matter what I do, I cannot get them to stop

putting it in my box. And it says two and a quarter, and they're still doing

it. You know what I mean? Right.

Oh, you know what? I have another package. I'll grab it for you, okay?

All right, brother man.

There you go.

Overnight priority, Mr. Pansy Pants.

Hey, what's in the box?

What's in the box?

Oh, shit. Are you an actor?

You, uh, you an actor?
