and the attraction

exists in real life,

it would be, like,

instantaneous relationship.

But you can't just

make out and send her home.

l know.

And take her virginity.

Well, that's what

it comes down to.

l'm going to have to

really be very careful.

Because even if there

is a lot of chemistry,

she does still

live in Michigan.

"Megan, this is the first

letter l have sent you, ever.

"lt feels a little strange

since all of our communications

"have been

virtual up until now.

"l made two of these pennies,

one for you and one for me.

"You have no idea

how excited l am to meet you.

"Yours, Nev."

Message.

Hey, Megan.

Nev, 6:
00, Sunday.

Yeah, l guess you just

got kicked off G-Chat.

l'm leaving tomorrow

for Vail.

l don't know what your schedule

is like for the next two weeks,

but Rel, Henry, and l are going

to be out there till the 9th

for the Vail

Dance Festival, so...

l 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. L 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 l leave tonight, bye.

Flight attendants

prepare for landing, please.

Careful, watch the heads.

Okay, and we both roll...

So, you have to

sit between...

All right, l'm rolling on my

two cameras. All right, rolling.

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?

She's typing.

"l think l can handle that."

l hope she sings.

That's good.

That's really good.

She's so hot.

Can we

request some more songs?

This is fun. You can just

request paintings for Abby to do

and songs for

Megan to sing.

That was pretty good.

That was

really good.

That was good.

She just did that.

So, on Angela's

website, on her Facebook,

does she have

all her songs up?

She's got

a bunch of them.

Like a published artist?

Like a musician?

This one's sick,

but it's the other one.

Tell her how much we like the

other song, where she plays guitar.

And the other one, l

can't remember what it's called.

Huh.

That's not good.

Search.

Sort of sounds like it,

a little different though.

lt's really similar, though.

lt's not as good.

Angela's is better.

Yes.

All right, listen,

you can't hold it against her.

She didn't say,

"Hey, l wrote this song."

lt 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.

So, you're just

playing this off Facebook?

No, l'm not,

l'm playing this off... Look.

Amy Kuney.

This is it.

l have food

in my mouth.

l mean, is this not

the exact same recording?

l'm not sure.

Sounds

a little different.

Definitely it.

They posted it online.

l know.

She posted

somebody else's music.

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 l 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 l gave her

about the song and

how much l liked it,

and it's not even

her singing.

lt's just a recording

of somebody else's song.

Are we sure

about that?

Yes.

Sounds a lot like that

other girl, doesn't it?

What's her name?

Yeah, come on.

What, "come on"?

You think that's Megan?

l don't know.

l don't know. L mean, l would have

never second-guessed it, but...

But where did she find a cover

of Tennessee Stud in half an hour?

Wait. Who is that?

Oh, my God!

What?

ls this it?

Yes!

No, no, no. Play yours,

play yours. This is it!

Play yours! Play yours.

This is it, Rel.

l'm 100%.

Let me hear yours.

lt's the same song, Rel.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

They are complete psychopaths.

They are complete psychopaths.

l've probably been chatting

with a guy this whole time.

Oh, my God!

Just to ask her to

explain what's going on.

Say, "Have you

listened to the two?"

l mean, that is enough for me to

just never, ever talk to them again.

Why should l

waste time with this?

l mean, if she's going to try and tell

me that that's not the same song...

All l'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, l'm freaking out.

They've been lying to...

You don't know that.

Don't you want to get

to the bottom of this?

lt would kill me if

it was left like this.

l can't now, it's too

late. Lt's all bullshit.

l 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.

l mean, l talked to somebody on

the phone, two different people.

You never

talked to Abby?

No. Which is also weird,'cause every

time l've called, it's been like,

"She just went to sleep," or,

"Let me see if l can wake her up.

"She's too tired."

Are there, like, newspaper

articles about Abby having a show?

No. REL:
No one's ever

googled Abby, still.

l did. Her name's Abigail.

But she had...

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.

Wouldn't this get written

up somewhere? Yeah, maybe, actually.

ls this how your spell

her name, A-B-B-Y? NEV: Yeah.

Michigan?

Mmm-hmm.

There's nothing

on Abby, anywhere.

What's lshpeming?

City of lshpeming.

Yeah,

let's start with that.

lshpeming.

Do you know where Abby

was showing her paintings?

At her gallery.

What is that gallery?

lt doesn't have a name

yet. L can give you the address.

lt's a gallery that she...

She bought the building.

Oh.

What's the address?

l could tell you.

Tell me.

lt's just a building.

lt's probably

a real address.

Let's Google map it.

Check it out.

l found

the building in my e-mail.

l searched for

"Abby gallery building,"

and l found the link she

sent me. Lt was $30,000.

Wow. On the corner...

lt's on North Main.

Wait a second. "Listings

last updated August 4th."

lt's still listed.

l should probably call and

see if it's still for sale.

Yes.

Yes.

So, l was calling

about that space you have,

l 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?

Hey, Angela.

Nothing, just with

Rel and Henry here,

we're getting ready to head

over to go film some dance.

Okay.

Sounded like the gallery

opening was a success.

Just a liar. How could she

just lie to me like that?

l can't believe

l believed her.

l can't believe l was so

gullible. L'm so embarrassed.
