- Hello, I'm John,
I'm a private investigator here in Los Angeles,
and today it's my job to determine
which two of these six individuals
are currently romantically linked.
No job is ever easy, but I think I'm up to the task.
(lively jazz music)
- We'll start in the end here.
How bout these two?
- C'mon honey.
- Honey?
Okay, interesting.
So how does everybody else react to that?
Is something I would look out for.
Cause if you weren't dating,
and you were feigning something,
and you're significant other were still on the lineup,
there may be a flash of jealousy,
a flash of suspicion coming from somebody.
Anyway, what's your name?
- Megan.
- Megan, hi.
And you?
- Victor.
- Victor, good to meet you.
Victor, where you from?
- San Jose, California.
- San Jose?
Yeah, okay.
How long you been down in LA?
- Two years, right?
Yeah, two years.
- Alright, Megan where are you from?
Here, LA.
- LA?
City of?
- Agoura Hills.
- Okay, so not LA.
- I mean it's technically LA County.
- Technically LA County?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
What do you like to do on the weekends?
What do you do for fun?
- Mostly Netflix.
- Yeah and chill.
- So you're having sex.
(laughs)
- So out of the house, what do you do?
What do you do for fun?
- I like to climb a lot.
Sometimes we go hiking.
- So what are some of the favorite places you've climbed?
- I am not much of a climber.
I'll do the hike, and then I just kind of sit and watch.
- So "we" climb?
- Sometimes I'll take her climbing,
but she's a little scared.
- Okay, okay.
Stories are not matching up here
with the climbing. (laughing)
- Where'd you guys meet?
- Here.
Two years ago, when I first started the fellowship,
she was here already as my mentor.
- Met at work.
A mentor?
Wow.
Okay I think we can move along here.
Megan, why don't I ask you to step aside,
if you don't mind.
Would you mind coming down here please?
- Yeah, of course.
- So Megan and Victor certainly want me
to think they're dating.
What's your name?
- Ehis.
E-H-I-S, I'll make it easy for you.
- Thank Ehis.
Where are you from?
- I'm from Boston, Massachusetts.
- Oh, what part?

- Yes, no county.
- Okay, yeah.
What neighborhood?

And Victor's lived here for two years or so.
Alright, interesting.
What part of town do you live in?
- I live in Studio City.
- Studio City?
Okay. - Yes.
- And where do you hike?
- I hike in Runyon, I go to the West side sometimes,
I go to Malibu, I do the Hollywood sign pretty often.
Just cause a lot of friends come to visit
and they wanna see the sign, and I'm like,
"Sure, let's go."
- Okay.
You sort of half repeated the question,
and then you were very verbose.
You told me why you go to certain hiking trails.
- Well like because the Hollywood sign is like,
I feel like no one in LA does the Hollywood sign
more than once, but I've done it several times.
- I feel like you're scrambling, you're kind of drowning.
I didn't even ask a question--
- I'm sorry, I was just giving information.
- I'm just giving you a hard time.
Alright.
What else do you do for fun?
- I go to the movies, I hang out with friends,
I like to eat a lot.
- Okay.
- So I go and eat.
- Where do you go to eat?
- I go to Sawtelle for--
- Okay and what restaurants are around Sawtelle?
- There's Tsujita that's really good.
Right the ramen place?
- Oh, yeah.
I love ramen.
- I don't go there very often, so.
- Damn, you're good.
And where do you live Victor?
- Koreatown.
- K-town, okay.
K-town to Studio City, that's a haul.
Why don't I ask you to step down please?
What's your name?
- I'm Jake, how's it going?
- Jake, good, thank you.
Where are you from, originally?
- I am from here.
I'm from Encino.
- Okay, thank you for being specific.
What's your line of work?
- Film stuff.
I used to be like a independent film producer
for super low budget stuff.
But now, I just kind of freelance my skills
here and there.
- Okay, gotcha.
Jake, what do you do... for fun?
- I play a lot of video games.
I smoke a bunch of weed.
- You're kind of into that leisure culture a little bit,
if I could be so bold to--
- I'm an indoor cat, yeah.
- To label it, yeah okay.
And we've got a Hollywood sign hiker.
Let's have our next--
- Hi, I'm Lexi. - Contestant.
- Hi Lexi.
Where do you work?
- I'm a nanny.
- A nanny?
- Yeah.
- Okay, and where do you live?
- In Santa Monica.
- Okay.
And where are you from Lexi?
- I'm outside Atlanta.
- How long you been in LA?
- Like six months now.
- And Jake, you're from and grew up in Encino,
but where are you living currently?
- I am in Encino with my grandma.
- In Encino, okay gotcha.
You're still there.
So what do you do for fun Lexi?
- I work a lot, I cook, obviously.
(laughs)
- I don't know, I like to cook,
and like Netflix and chill also.
- Alright.
So you're a bit of a homebody yourself huh?
- I mean I try not to be, but probably yeah.
- Okay.
So what do you like to cook for the most part?
What's your specialty?
Give me like your top three.
- I love Crock-Pot stuff.
So I love chili, - Okay.
- Bolognese, I also make a salmon.
- Oh wow.
Crock-Pot salmon.
- No, no, not in the Crock-Pot.
Like outside of the Crock-Pot.
- Did you go to undergrad anywhere?
- USC.
- Oh.
So you lived in Santa Monica for six months, but you're--
- I went back to Atlanta, I went to New York too.
- Okay, alright, gotcha.
I get the feeling you're trying to
project to me that you two are a couple.
- Why would you say that?
- You said, "I like to cook (laughs) obviously."
Victor and Megan certainly want me to think
that they're dating as well.
Alright Jake, I appreciate your time.
I think I'm done for the time being.
Will you step down please?
- Hi Lexi.
- Hey Asia.
- Oh they know each other.
Okay.
And what's your name?
- Asia, like the continent.
- Asia, okay.
Where are you from?
- Florida.
- How long you been in LA?
- Going on three years.
- Okay.
So where were you before Santa Monica?
- New York.
- Okay, for how long?
- Four and a half years.
- Okay.
- I was in New York for five years.
- Were you? - Yeah.
- Seems like something a
relationship would know about one another.
Don't you think?
- Maybe, I don't know.
I wouldn't wanna project anything.
- Would you consider yourself a foodie?
- Yeah I would.
Even though I'm like, trying to be vegan now.
- Oh okay.
- It's hard.
- So chili's and bologneses,
probably wouldn't fit in with a vegan lifestyle.
- I love chili though.
Like I could make an exception every now and then.
- Okay what about Crock-Pot salmon?
(laughs)
- But she makes it outside of the Crock-Pot.
- Oh okay.
- You have a lot of notes here.
- I don't think I have enough notes.
Jake, how do you like being a vegetarian?
- I am not a vegetarian.
- The Crock-Pot is really,
I think that's the key to the whole thing.
- It probably is.
- Okay alright, let's switch it up.
Ehis would you join us again?
- I need like a map of the city here,
basically is what I really need.
So we got Asia down there,
Ehis is up there, Jake,
got Lexi down here, Victor you're over in K-town,
kinda right?
And Megan tell me again, where you're living?
- North Hollywood.
- You're NoHo, okay.
Oh so you and Ehis live somewhat close together.
I need you over here.
Asia, thank you.
I may need to call on you later.
And what do you like to eat,
did I ask you that already, Megan?
- You didn't.
- It really comes down to the stomach.
(laughs)
- What's your favorite type of food?
- Italian.
- Italian?
Okay.
Didn't Asia just say she likes Italian?
- I love Italian.
- If two people like Italian food--
they must be dating. - They must be dating.
- Just to be fair, what is your favorite type of food?
- Potatoes.
- Even in the guideline of like,
it could be Italian, or Greek, or Mexican.
- You can have Italian potatoes,
you can have Mexican potatoes,
you can have Greek potatoes.
- Okay, cool.
Alright this is interesting.
You guys do live close to one another.
Jake, why don't you join us please?
- Yeah.
- Let's see here.
So you're also Valley, you're in the Valley area,
a little bit together.
- To be fair, I think she's...
I think Agoura is Thousand Oaks or Ventura, sorry.
Not LA County.
- But she lives in No...
Oh, oh I get it.
- So you're just going out of your way to
let me know that she was wrong.
- It's more like to tell her that she's wrong.
- How does that make you feel?
- I don't (bleep) care.
(laughs)
- Can I venture my first guess here?
Okay well I'm just gonna come right out and, say it.
Ask it.
Megan and Jake, are you presently romantically linked?
- Why do you think that?
- I'll ask the questions.
That's a nod and a handshake and a question.
- I'm real sweaty, but enjoy that.
- You're dating?
- Yes.
- Congratulations, you're a lovely couple.
- But we want to know, how long?
Since the french fries, before the french fries?
- [John] I need the other four and I need...
I need Crock-Pot Lexi back (mumbles).
- [Jake] That was good!
- How long?
I don't know.
I'm John, I'm a private investigator,
and I solved the mystery
of whose dating.
