Hi.. Hey, I'm elizabeth.
What's your name?
Billy.
Well, it's nice to meet you.
What's up?
nothing much.
I'm, uh, I'm actually just
Just trying to meet some new friends.
I'll be your friend.
Oh, cool.
Okay, yeah.
Let's be friends.
can I tell you a secret?
yeah.
there's a monster in my closet
uh, you know what? it's probably nothing.
It's probably just your imagination.
no, it's real.
I'll show you.
see? It's nothing. There's nothing there.
Little shit.
Hi.
just -- just a second.
Can everyone see her okay?
mm-hmm.
all right, Elizabeth.
The floor's yours.
thank you, professor.
Good morning, everyone.
And, uh, well, thank you for
letting me present in this way.
With the popularization of sites
like this one, people who would
have never interacted before
are now able to connect
easily and quickly
I can chat with a random
stranger in japan
and the next second catch up
with my cousin in new york.
While video-chatting sites put a
face to the anonymous nature of
the internet, the question
still remains
who's really out there? I want to find out.
For the next few months,
I will be logged in to this site 24/7,
and my computer will record
everything I see.
My mission is to interact with
as many people as possible, from
all over the world.
With the complete absence of
social barriers, this
webcam-based community is unlike any
population this school
has ever researched.
Using this site, we have an
opportunity to study a unique
aspect of human behavior as it
is seen in its most transparent form.
I think we're good here.
Hi... Uh, no
They're calling again in a half-hour.
So, what's the verdict?
Well....You got it! The grant is yours!
Oh, my God! -- are you serious?
it took a bit of pushing on my part.
As you could see, they're not
exactly the hippest group
of people, but they see the value,
and they think it'll be a good
direction for the program.
Thank you so much.
This -- it -- I can't even tell you
It means so much to me.
I promise I won't let you down.
that's exactly what I want to hear.
Good luck, Miss Benton.
Hey.
I got the grant.
seriously?
yeah...
that's great.
I'm, uh, I'm so happy for you.
Sorry. One sec.
This is Damien.
Hey.
um, hold on.
Let me, uh, take a look at it.
all right.
Uh, no, it's in San Diego.
Yeah, that's fine.
Just bcc me.
All right. Later.
Sorry about that.
So, are you coming over tonight?
uh.., probably not.
I really got to get into this.
aw, come on.
You'd rather spend your evening
chatting with a bunch of
strangers than hanging out with me?
Hey, this is my job.
I know.
I just... Want to see you.
well, you're seeing me now.
yeah, but I want the real thing
Todd! God d--
Hi Bye.
Hello!
Hii. uh, you are very beautiful.
thanks.
So, what are you guys up to?
uh, my friend wants to know,
uh, will you tell us how to
satisfy a woman? uh, excuse me?
he's marrying next month, and
he'll have to satisfy the bride.
uh, you know, I-I think maybe
you guys should just download
some porn.
oh, it's -- it's not that easy.
Please, you must show us.
Just, uh, show us where he needs
to touch her.
nice try, guys.
oh, my god. You're on your bike.
Hey!.
I'm on my bike.
yeah.
That's awesome.
Is that new york?
yeah, yeah, yeah.
Check this out.
Oh, my God.
That is so cool.
How are you doing that?
that's 4G, baby.
do you -- wow.
Do you do that all the time?
are you okay?
Hello?
delivery.
Uh, one sec.
what to chat for somebody?
Hey. Why aren't you answering your
phone?
sorry.
I've been working.
What's up?
am I supposed to get beer?
uh, y-yeah.
Whatever you want.
I-I think I have some wine.
no. It's a beer night.
Maybe whiskey.
All right.
I'll see you later.
okay. Cool.
See you soon
that's so funny!
God!
Oh, that's amazing!
Okay. Okay.
You're recording all of these,
right?
mm-hmm.
I want a copy of that one.
no! Oh, that cute. I hate cats.
please.
oh!
do you want another beer?
thank you.
mm-hmm.
oh, wow. Thank you so much. Hmm.
Crazy.
what is happening here?
don't. Don't.
I'm just -- give it a minute.
Someone might come.
it's like totally creeping me
out.
Hey!
she was boring.
Where are you going?
bathroom.
find us someone really interesting
who was that? mnh-mnh. Mnh-mnh.
No. I'm done.
These people are terrible.
Can we just watch the cute cat videos?
uh, that is a negative.
oh, my God.
that's weird. Did you leave it on?
No. no.
I am almost positive that I
didn't.
Can computers just turn on by
themselves?
not likely.
Maybe it was a ghost.
okay. Come on.
Be honest.
Were you hacking me?
was I hacking -- you wish I
was hacking you.
You wish a guy like this would
hack you.?
By the way, question -- are you
ever planning on leaving your
apartment again?
I mean, it's really nice out.
It's called the sun, water.
okay, I get it.
I'll, uh, stalk you later.
bye.
one medium latte for Liz. thanks.
Hello? Hey, is, uh, is your webcam broken?
Hello?
Are you there?
uh, no.
Um, but who -- who am I talking to?
thank you.
Um, well, so are you, at least
from what I can see.
uh, coffee shop.
sure.
But how do I know you're not a robot?
would you mind if I plug in here?
oh, no. Go ahead.
Sorry.
yee-haw!
Go! Go, bony!
Whoo!
Mama loves her --
I've always wanted to visit L.A.
oh, you should do it.
I mean, we definitely have
superior weather.
you're right about that.
wow.
Your boyfriend's got some great moves.
you're such an idiot.
you love it
So do you, random girl.
sorry about that.
That is his way of telling me to get a move on.
It was very nice chatting to you, Elizabeth.
And good luck with the whole
Jane Goodall thing.
oh, thank you.
Well, good night, guys.
Or good morning.
how did I know I'd find you on here?
Hey.
I cleaned up the place.
Huh?
Oh, it looks really good.
yeah, I know.
You should come over here and
help me finish this bottle of wine.
I'm sorry.
I'm still working.
do that later.
This can't be good for us.
Babes. don't be so needy.
Plenty of couples video chat.
yeah.
They live, like, 3,000 miles
from each other.
We're 10 miles apart.
yeah, but, you know, with
traffic, it's...Far.
are we okay?
oh, uh, hang on one sec.
what was that?
delivery guy.
I ordered some takeout.
One minute!
Sorry. What were you saying?
nothing.
I just -- I'm just tired.
Tomorrow's gonna be a long one,
so..
I forgot.
You leave tomorrow.
hey, why don't you come with me?
You can work from the hotel room
we'll do something special when you get back.
I promise.
all right.
Enjoy your dinner.
Damien, what the hell are you doing?!
I didn't mean to scare you that bad
I saw it on.
I couldn't help myself.
what are you doing here?
you wouldn't come over to me.
no.
I thought I'd come over to
you.
Come on.
let me turn it off. no.
Just leave it on. no.
Very funny.
Creep.
Oh, keep going.
Oh, don't stop. yes
ow. He just kicked.
You could feel it if you were here.
oh, are you trying to lure me
over with promises of fetal
kicking?
oh, that's what it's come to?
so, um, how's the prep
coming?
oh, I just finished his
bedroom.
really?
I want to see it.
Can you...
all right. Give me a sec.
take your time, fatty.
I have a bowling ball in my
stomach, sis.
It takes time to do anything.
I'm pretty sure that babies
don't grow in the stomach.
all right. Check this out.
okay. I'm checking.
Wow.
You have really outdone
yourself, Lyn.
Hold up.
What is this space crap?
I thought we decided dinosaurs.
well, the guy at the store
said dinosaurs are way too '90s.
okay, you trust the guy at
the store over your own flesh
and blood?
flesh and blood who I haven't
seen in months.
you're seeing me now.
Why doesn't anybody get that?
Ass.
I got to go, anyway.
The satellite guy's here.
okay, you're gonna need to
embrace the internet at some point
bye.
yeah, yeah.
hello.
I am Isaac Atabayo.
Hi, Isaac. I'm Elizabeth
Elizabeth, I need to speak to you about a very urgent and
confidential matter, one that
requires your immediate
assistance.
okay.
I am a cousin of the late
nigerian head of state who died
in 2010.
I need to transfer $11 million
out of my country as soon as
possible or I will lose it.
okay.
what I need is a trustworthy
partner -- someone to act as a
beneficiary to help me move the
funds out of nigeria.
Please.
I will give you $1 million for
your troubles.
I will give you $1 million for your troubles.
has this ever worked?
yes. I just need these few things.
hey, I-I think I know you. I think we met yesterday.
okay.
Okay.
yeah, I do.
Uh, do you? )
yeah, I, uh, I think that I just witnessed a murder.
where are you right now?
my apartment.
But it happened online.
ma'am, are you there?
well, that looked real.
so, w-what do we do?
mean, how do we even find out
who this person is?
listen, we don't have the
resources to chase down every
suspicious video that pops up on
the internet.
but you just said it was
real.
I said it looked real.
so, is there really nothing
else that I can do?
well, I can put a call in to
the cyber-crimes unit, see if
they've had similar reports.
But, like I said, 99% of these
things -- they turn out to be
nothing.
okay. Thanks.
I think it's a hoax.
yeah, it could be.
you don't sound convinced.
How's the research coming?
I'm taking a break.
you want to come over?
Mr. T's dying for a walk.
no?
How can you turn down mr. T?
I'm sorry.
I just -- I'm still out of it.
You know, I-I know this could
just be some viral prank, but...
I can't stop thinking about this girl's face
well, I mean, there's nothing
you can do about it now, so just let it go
what if you looked into it?
If I gave you her user name, you
could find out where's she from.
wait. Are you serious?
I need to know.
I could get into a lot of trouble
I'll pay you.
with what money?
I will give you a chunk of my
grant.
I mean -- I don't want the money
I'll do it, but you owe me.
thank you.
Hold on.
Um...
here.
This is her screen name.
I'll see what I can do.
hey, girl! You're fine!
Yo, check it out, baby. I can make you cum so --
it's fake, Liz. You got pranked.
how do you know that?
because that's what these people do.
I'm sure they recorded your
reaction, and now you're part of
some viral thing.
Uh, did you get my zoo video?
what zoo video?
it must not have come
through.
come on. What's that face?
you didn't see how awful it was.
God.
If it was that bad, maybe you
should get off the site.
well, n-- I'm not just gonna
give up on the study.
The school gave me a lot of
money to do this.
I can't just tell them that I
changed my mind.
I don't know what you want me
to say.
It's the internet.
You should have expected
something like this.
Hey.
nice.
yeah.
I was just chatting with this
young girl.
No, I...
I don't -- I think --
I'll call you.
I will. I promise.
I'll call you.
Hey. So, I know you're probably
chatting with a bunch of creeps
online, but, uh, I just wanted
to show you what the real world
looks like.
Uh, a goat.
The zebra.
The -- what the fuck is that?
Flamingos...As far as the eye
can see.
And finally...What you've been
waiting for -- hard-core smut.
wish you were here.
Where this --
how did I know I'd find you
on here?
hey, I cleaned up the place.
Dame...
hey, how did I know I'd find
you on here?
hey, I cleaned up the place.
Damien...
Hey, damien, are you there?
hey, this is Damien. Just leave me a message after
the beep, and I'll get back to
you as soon as I can.
yeah, hi.
Can you please connect me to
Sergeant Tisbert?
the apartment was empty when
we got here.
that's his computer.
Something must have happened to
him.
Why isn't anybody doing
anything?!
He wouldn't just leave his
computer behind.
You didn't find anything
upstairs?
just calm down for me,
please, all right?
Let's just go step by step and
we'll get this solved.
I got a video from his
account.
what was on the video?
something damien made me from
the zoo.
how's your relationship?
Problems?
no. We're fine.
he wouldn't just up and leave
without telling me.
I think you should go home,
call around.
Young guys sometimes do
stupid...
that sucks.
What's up?
um, what kind of surprise?
okay. Hold on.
I'll be over in a few.
all right. I'm coming.
something is clearly wrong here. this is not a crime scene.
It's a waste of my time and
police resources, as well, so,
please.
I'm sorry.
you're wrong about this.
let's go, guys.
Come on.
hey, are you here? I'm outside your door.
okay.
Liz? Hello?
Are you in here?
Ha ha. All right. Where are you?
what?
Liz?
What the hell?
you still haven't heard from him?
no. The cops won't do anything for
another day.
But I've been checking his
e-mail for the past day and a
half, and he hasn't opened or
sent anything.
Uh, what about the girl?
Did you check?
I tried to find her account,
but there's no way of knowing
where she was chatting from?
It was bouncing off I don't know
how many I.P. Addresses, proxy
servers.
what does that mean?
it -- it means that it's
really hard to find out where
she was chatting from.
isn't this what you do?
I-I don't understand.
listen, I'm trying to do you
a favor here.
well, thanks for trying.
I know. I'm sorry.
I haven't responded to your e-mails.
what you did was completely
inappropriate and unacceptable.
I have had angry board members
calling me all day.
W-what are you talking about?
don't play dumb.
You sent it from your e-mail
address.
n-no, I didn't send you
anything.
okay, s-someone hacked my
account.
I don't know what this is.
Oh, keep going.
oh, don't stop.
Don't stop.
professor, this is not...
you know, I vouched for you.
please listen to me.
Someone hacked my account.
Look, I've been talking to the
police, and there is something
really fucked up happening here.
you're a mess.
I'm gonna have to put a hold on
your project until further
notice.
no.
I want you to talk to someone
because you're clearly not well.
hi.Um, I'm Damien Clark's girlfriend.
I need to ask you just, you
know, a weird question, but he
was online for the last two
hours.
what do you want?
I just want to know if you've
talked to damien tonight or --
I haven't talked to Damien
since we were 12.
but you're on his friend
list.
yeah? So?
It doesn't mean anything.
fuck. I don't know what you want me to say.
It's the internet.
You should have expected
something like this.
Hey.
nice.
yeah.
I was just...
are you his girlfriend? yeah. Have you talked to him recently?
like how recently?
Like a few years ago recently?
no, like yesterday or today.
you worried that he's
cheating on you?
no.
I'm sorry.
Uh, actually, uh, I talked to
him last night.
um, o-okay.
What -- what did he say?
nothing.
He sent me a link, and then he
signed off.
do you still have it?
uh, yeah.
Yeah. Hold on.
Give me a sec.
Let me find...
yeah. Here you go.
thank you so much.
ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
I'm fucking with you!
yeah.
When you find him, tell him he's
got a tiny dick.
hey! Why the fuck are you on here?!
Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, shit.
It's elizabeth. Um, I chatted with damien two
nights ago, and I didn't notice it, but there -- there was
someone hiding in the back of
his...
I don't know how I missed it.
Um, I think that maybe someone
might have followed him.
Please call me back.
I really need to show you
this video.
It's Elizabeth Benton.
Um, but, please, please, uh, I
really need to show you this
video.
I'm not gonna stop calling you
until you call me back.
Hi. Who are you?
I'm actually just trying to meet some new friends.
Let's be friends.
why are you doing this?
I just...Want to see you.
there's nothing you can do
about it now.
there's nothing
you can do about it now.
There's nothing you can do about
it now.
Fuck! enjoy your dinner.
don't open up attachments from strangers -- ever. This is not good.
From strangers -- ever.
This is not good. what is it?
I can't find any of your files.
but w-what about my video
from Damien?
your drive's wiped.
please tell me you backed up your study.
I don't care about my study.
Can you do anything to fix this?
I mean -- no.
I think you need to stay away from this site for a while.
don't touch me.
Hey. don't!
what?
look, this is the last place
I saw him.
I need to stay on here.
listen, Liz, maybe Damien is
the one screwing with you.
no, he wouldn't do that.
Liz, I think you're being
paranoid here.
I mean, it's not like you and
Damien are in that good
of a place.
can you please leave?
are you fucking serious?
get out!
Jenni?
Jenni!
What?
Jenni!
Look at you.
911.
What is your emergency?
I need an ambulance right
away.
I'm at 1281 lighthouse.
It's -- it's my friend!
Her -- her wrists are cut!
She's bleeding everywhere!
Oh, my God.
Jenni!
hello?
oh, my God!
She's not breathing!
Jenni!
Come on, Jenni. Come on.
welcome to the show. In this week's episode, I'm
gonna show you how to load a 9mm glock.
First thing we need to do is
load the magazine.
Take the flat part, put it
against your hand.
Grab a bullet, push the front
in, push it back.
Take another.
Push it down and then back.
It's that simple.
I'm just gonna load in two
bullets right now.
This could hold 17.
Take your weapon.
Work it in.
Slam it in.
You're ready to go.
Pull the slide back, chamber
around.
Now you want to stare down the
barrel like so.
And remember to squeeze the
trigger.
Don't pull it or you're probably
gonna miss what you're shooting at
And be careful never to point a
weapon at anyone.
It's safety first always.
That's it.
You've just loaded a 9mm
handgun.
thanks for stopping by.
And don't forget to comment and
tell us how you like us down
below.
And, remember, I'm Dale.
See ya.

Please answer. Fuck!

Will you excuse us?

I'm not married.

Don't you think?

Thank you.

night. oh,

I saw a man in a bunny
costume having a wank.
he loves provoking these
twits whenever he goes on here.
don't do that, dad.
You don't know who these people
are.
dad?
