Catfish Page #4

Synopsis: In late 2007, filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost sensed a story unfolding as they began to film the life of Ariel's brother, Nev. They had no idea that their project would lead to the most exhilarating and unsettling months of their lives. A reality thriller that is a shocking product of our times, Catfish is a riveting story of love, deception and grace within a labyrinth of online intrigue.

pulling you up against me,

"and running my tongue

all the way up your neck,

"biting your ears as l fill

my hands with your breasts."

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."

Wait, is this still you? Me.

Megan, "l want you so badly

my body aches for you."

Nev, "Fifteen days

and l'm all yours."

Megan, "l don't understand

the hold you have on my heart.

"There isn't anything

l wouldn't do for you, babe."

Nev, "l'm going to

hold you to that.

"Get some sleep.

Big day tomorrow.

"Happy Fourth. Yay freedom."

Megan, "Sweet dreams of me. L'll

be dreaming of you. L adore you."

Nev, "Good night, sugar."

There it is.

Can't see anything, right?

No.

You think you could feel it?

lf they hug you?

Hi! No.

Nothing, right?

No.

Where is it? Right in

the small of my chest.

You got to hold

the mic thing in,

or else you

won't hear it, Henry.

You got to push

the headphones in.

l can hear you!

Really?

Okay. So it sounds

pretty good?

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

You can hear me good?

Totally clear.

We are close.

We are in

the town of lshpeming,

and l think it's just maybe one more

turn and then we're on Main Street.

Then there it is,

the house.

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.

Nice dream, though.

Keep it a little more

subtle, guys. Jesus Christ.

l think this is... That

could be it, right there.

North Main Street. That was

it, right there on the corner.

We're in

plain sight right now.

Make sure your

cell phone is on.

l'm gonna leave

the car running.

Yeah.

And the doors open.

Let's get the seats

ready to jump into.

And have the windows open,

maybe even, too.

lt might be

that kind of escape.

Rel, you ready? Let's not

waste any time. We got to go.

Hello?

No. Just stay strong.

Stay strong.

Hello?

Hello?

Hi.

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...

Hi, how are you?

Good. How are you?

l'm Ariel.

What are you guys

doing up here?

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.

Here, this is for you.

That one, right there.

Well, thank you,

thank you very much.

Yeah.

What's your name?

My name is Vince.

Hey. Ariel.

Hi.

Hi. How are you?

How nice to see you. Hi, nice to see you.

You guys

shouldn't have come.

Oh, my goodness.

We were close-ish.

Wow.

So, this is a really

nice thing here for Abby.

Get down, Spot.

Thank you.

Would you like

to come in?

Sure.

Let me deal with this dog.

He's vicious.

l can't believe you guys came.

That's so sweet.

lt'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.

This is for your dog.

This is for the dog.

A little dog toy.

Oh. That's so sweet.

l have something

here for Megan, too.

ls she in town?

Come on in.

Come on in.

Your house is beautiful.

Thank you. And

this town is really lovely.

Hey, guys.

Hey, guys.

Where did

you get these?

We just picked

them on the road.

Howdy.

What's happening?

We tried to find a flower

shop, but we couldn't.

Hey, man, l'm Ariel.

Hey, guys.

Okay.

So... Wow.

So, where you

guys staying tonight?

Actually,

we hadn't figured that out.

We figured we'd find

a motel or something.

Hey.

Come on in.

They're not... l 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.

Yeah.

l promise.

lt's like a blown-out...

lt'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.

l'm really sorry to hear it.

Wait for

a little gust of wind,

and we'll get

your hair in the air.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey! What?

At first,

Abby was freaking out.

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.

l'm gonna

put this in here.

But don't you think

it would just be better

that we have our car with us? Yes.

So, let's take our car.

Henry,

you want to follow?

l mean, you want me

to leave you in there?

You need to

chill out a little bit.

Yeah, l think right now, yes, things

are a definitely weird, but l'm not...

Yeah.

l don't feel

threatened at all.

l 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.

No,

l don't want to attack.

Just trying to stay back.

Let's just roll, Rel. Lf we

don't get into this experience,

there's no reason to be here.

Let's ride with them.

US National Ski Hall of Fame? Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, sure.

This is Lauren's dad's house.

Beach house.

Hi!

Hey.

What are you guys doing?

Nothing?

You going to say hi?

Abby.

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

Nice to meet you.

Give me a hug.

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

Hey, l'm Ariel.

Hi.

Yaniv.

Are you nervous? No?

Nev is.

He's nervous.

You're like... You're like

a famous painter, you know?

l'm so excited

to meet you.

You guys want

to go out?

Okay.

Let's go.

Abby, she doesn't really

paint. Her mom paints a lot,

but Abby doesn't

paint that much.

Huh. What about

her sister Megan?

Hey, Abby, do you see

your older sister Megan?

Oh, really?

Where does she live?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

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.

Well, we're going to

see you for dinner.

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. L will speak to you soon.

All right.

Thanks again.

So...

What do you guys think?

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 l was going to leave and

she was leaning on the car?

She doesn't think we're

coming back. Right.

Of course she doesn't

think we're coming back.

She's like, "Don't go."

No, no.

Most people wouldn't go back.

So, l'm 90% sure right now that

Angela is the voice of Megan.

Yeah.

And that l've been texting
