My father
Bought these years ago as

An investment.

They were mailed to him in
Tubes and then he had them

Framed.

He always said that they
Were his insurance policy

For emergencies that might
Come up in his old age,

And we sure could
Use the money now.

And you were told
That these are limited

Editions?

Yes.

These are vincent van gogh
Lithographs and we thought

That they would more
Than pay for his heart

Procedures.

We were devastated when we
Found out that they were

Fakes.

And this is an
Impressive forgery on the

Certificate of
Authenticity.

Look here, no one
Ever gets that right.

They came close.

The problem with
Limited editions is that

In the world of fakes
There's an unlimited

Supply.

Yeah, probably
Cost $50 dollars to make

And the crooks sell
Them for thousands.

Yeah, cases
Like this are tough.

You know, trying to
Determine the original

Source of the scam
Can be very difficult.

At least we
Have a starting point.

The papazian gallery.

Thank you for bringing
This to our attention mr.

Martin.

We may need to look
Through the rest of your

Father's collection
As we gather evidence.

Of course.

Please, just
Get these guys.

We'll do everything
We can mr. Martin.

I'm preston
Wainwright and this is my

Mom amanda.

She's a united states
Postal inspector which

Means she solves any
Crime that uses the mail.

My dad was an inspector
Too, one of the best,

Until I lost him and the
Use of my legs in a car

Accident.

Now I'm following my own
Dream with an internship

In the crime lab and the
Help of my best friends.

Together we are
The inspectors.

So what's our
Undercover cover story?

Would we be bff's or
Dating or married?

Oh no, I am never
Undercover marrying you

Again.

What?

We argue too much.

Well that's what
Makes us so believable.

What kind of
Rental car did we get?

Convertible.

Ooh, I am team
Leader and I really should

Be driving.

No.

I'll let you
Drive on the way back.

Alright, fair enough.

Let's go buy some art
For our summer mansion.

Do you think we
Can really sell that we're

Summer mansion people?

Well yeah.

Look, my
Cufflinks match my watch.

Yeah,
That'll really sell it.

Standup comedy at
The university grind,

Really?

Yeah.

It's open mic
Every friday.

I mean I kill it on the
Debate team, why can't I

Be funny on stage, you
Know, like I am in real

Life?

Look at it this way, you
Know I want to go to law

School, right?

Right.

Alright, and
Lawyers need to be good

Public speakers,
Comfortable in front of

Big crowds.

It's gonna help my public
Speaking skills, keep me

On my toes.

Now that's funny;
Keep you on your toes.

That all sounds great,
But you're funny in that

“noah, this is a really
Bad idea” kind of way, not

Necessarily in
The comedy go.

Come on,
I'm funny, alright.

People are gonna be
Crying with laughter.

Oh they'll
Be crying alright.

This is what
They're calling art?

It's a red dot.

$114,000 dollars
For a red dot?

A red dot is not art.

Shhh.

Welcome to
Papazian gallery.

I'm marcie, the owner.

How can I help you?

We're interested
In some limited edition

Prints;
Specifically van gogh.

Yeah, we just
Acquired a summer mansion

On the bay and we want
To fill it with art.

Van gogh is a good
Choice, I adore his work.

He's in high
Demand right now.

Price
Is no object.

It's not about
Money, it's about loyalty.

We can
Be very loyal.

And the summer
House is 19,000 square

Feet; that's a lot of
Van gogh's young lady.

Would you
Like an espresso?

What?

I used to work at
A calendar factory, yeah.

I got fired though 'cause
I took too many days off.

Wait, are you
Trying to tell a joke?

What,
You don't get it?

I'll try again.

I used to work at a
Calendar factory but I got

Fired because I took
Too many days off.

Too many days off.

Yeah, we get it.

I don't.

You mean like sick days?

Why would they
Fire you for that?

No, no, no, it's
Like a double meaning.

Too many days off
Of the calendar.

So the
Calendars are faulty.

Right.

So
They fired you.

See, you
Juxtapose the literal with

The figurative and
Suspend disbelief.

Dude, if you have to
Explain this much it ain't

Funny.

Okay, comedy's
Gotta be natural.

You can't be so
Literal with it.

You're not solving a case,
You're telling a joke.

It's gotta be
Quick, a pop.

Veronica, where do
Skunks go to pray?

Where?

In a pew.

That's funny.

It's all
About the delivery.

You got your work
Cut out for you man.

You know, I kind of
Shudder to think what that

Is.

It's a spatial
Exploration in mauve.

I can say
Unequivocally that the

Same person who signed mr.
Martin's lithograph also

Signed the ones
You just purchased.

And that person is
Definitely not the great

Artist vincent van gogh.

See, here's van
Gogh's signature.

Now we did lots of
Comparisons, I even called

In an expert
Just to make sure.

But you see, van gogh
Closed his h's and the

Loop in his lower case
G, much more narrow.

You know, I could
Look at that for days and

Not see the difference.

I mean, well, it
Took hours of analyzing,

But the difference is
There, it's just very hard

To see.

And most buyers
Don't do their homework.

You got plenty to talk
About with your gallery

Owner.

Let's
Bring her in.

Alright, alright,
Let's talk a little bit

About
Political correctness.

How many politically
Correct people does it

Take to change
A lightbulb?

None; why should we impose
Our values on a lightbulb.

Oh man, that's a good one.

Let's see&.

Oh, okay, okay, okay&.

So the other day my friend
Told me she was cold so I

Told her to go stand in
The corner because it's 90

Degrees.

And then I'll hold
For applause there.

I asked the guy the other
Day, I said “what's the

Fastest way to get to the
Unemployment office?” he

Said “college.” oh, hey.

I'm sorry, I
Couldn't help myself.

I love that one about
The lightbulb, that was so

Funny.

You know, instead of
Practicing in front of

That, why don't you
Practice in front of me?

Okay, yeah, I've
Got about 5 minutes of my

Set done.

Great.

Come on in.

Ooh...

Live audience, alright.

Here we go.

You know the thing they
Say about cliffhangers?

You get it?

Nothing like this
Has ever happened before.

I can't believe
They're fake.

Well we
Believe you're lying.

What?

That's absurd.

Those prints were
Sold 10 years apart from

Your gallery.

Now do you really expect
Us to believe that a

Gallery owner of your
Reputation wouldn't know

The difference?

I didn't have
Anything to do with

Forging those signatures.

Did anyone mention
Anything about forging

Signatures today?

I don't
Believe we did.

You can help yourself here
Now marcie, but you better

Hurry 'cause this train's
Leaving the station.

It's just
Something that I fell

Into.

There's such a demand for
This kind of art and I had

To fill it somehow and
It worked for so long, it

Just didn't seem that bad.

Didn't think it was
That bad stealing peoples'

Money?

I didn't look
It that way, I'm not a

Forger, I just sold it.

We want
Your supplier.

I don't know.

I don't wanna get
Lumped in with him.

Oh, so it's a him.

News flash marcie,
You're already lumped in

With him.

His name is
David michael vaughn.

He holds these periodic
Invitation-only auctions.

He's been
Using my gallery.

He targets people who have
A lot of money and don't

Know a lot about art.

Well then, maybe
You can put in a good word

For us.

Sold to our
New friends brad and terry

Westmoreland.

What were you telling
Me, this one's going on a

Yacht?

Okay, let's
Take 5 everybody.

Yacht.

$45,000 dollars.

I could paint that.

Maybe you
Should take up painting.

I could loan you
Some supplies.

Might help you relax.

Who needs to relax?

Your piece
Is exceptional.

This was part of a series
That was issued just

Before edgar degas died;
Only 10 lithographs were

Ever made.

And the artist personally
Signed each and every one

Himself.

You made a really smart
Buy, and you picked great

Art.

This is gonna do nothing
But go up, up, up in

Value.

Well david, I saw
It and I just had to have

It.

Your purchased
Art will be mailed to you

Right away.

I'm thrilled that you're
Happy and I hope to see

You again soon.

Oh you
Can count on that.

Try out as many
Jokes as you like but I

Gotta warn you, I'm
A tough audience.

So, go ahead, hit me
With your best shot.

Okay,
Alright, let's see here.

Okay, here we go.

Knock knock...

Now hold on, I gotta stop

You right there.

Are you honestly gonna
Tell me that a knock knock

Joke is your best shot?

No, I got more.

Okay here we
Go, here we go.

There's two muffins in the
Oven, one of the muffins

Looks to the other one and
Says “hey, is it hot in

Here or is it just me?”
The other muffin goes

“omg, a talking
Muffin!”

You wanna laugh.

Your mouth actually just
Curled up a little bit

Like you were
Going to laugh.

Don't worry honey,
He's not your target

Audience.

Yours is the more, you
Know, has a sense of humor

Crowd.

Yeah.

Congratulations you two.

Did we
Get what we need?

Not exactly.

What you got is beautiful,
It's just not a forgery.

You my friends are now the
Proud owners of a genuine

Degas.

Sorry.

This must
Be how they get ya.

You buy a real piece or
Two, have it appraised,

Then they get your trust.

Well, would've been
Nice to have known that

Beforehand.

It was hard enough getting
Money for this operation,

But then to blow most of
Our budget on one piece of

Art!

Most,
But not all of it.

Let's go shopping.

You're gonna finish that?

I have to.

I'll see you
In the parking lot.

Okay.

I'm driving.

Hey, when I
Said get ready to laugh I

Didn't mean every time.

Everybody's entitled
To one or two clunkers,

Right?

Hey, no, I
Recognize you, right?

You're in my
Humanities class?

No?

I don't know, I thought
There was some gold there,

Never mind, moving on.

Let's open it up to the
Audience, how's that?

What are you guys taking
In college besides all

Your parents' money?

Speaking of school, how do
You get a college grad off

Your porch?

Pay him for the pizza.

You know, 'cause
Unemployment rates are

High.

Oh, I see my buddy noah.

What's up noah?

Noah, what's up man?

You guys know what
He got on his sat's?

Drool - 'cause he fell
Asleep and he drooled on

The page.

Alright that's all
The time that I have.

I'm gonna keep my
Identity a secret.

That was terrible.

And you
Will never repeat that.

Preston!

Hey.

That was
Just really...

You were so brave up there.

Yeah, you definitely
Told some jokes and stuff.

Man, that
Was a tough crowd.

Yeah, you definitely
Told some jokes and stuff.

Man, that
Was a tough crowd.

Is it finals
Week or something?

Ooh, hey that's good,
I'm gonna write that down.

No...

Nah...

...Don't do that.

It didn't
Go so hot did it?

Yeah, let's get
Out of here before they

Find out your real name.

Sounds good to me.

Was
Any of it funny?

Um... The part
Before the beginning and

After the end.

Can I get 22.5...

22 thousand five hundred.

Do I hear 23?

23...Is there 24 out there?

24...

I'm looking for 25...

How much do we have
Left?

We got enough
For one more bump.

Do it.

25... Is
There 26 out there?

25...Going once, 25 going
Twice...

Would you mind holding

This for me?

Sold for $25
Thousand dollars.

It's not
Like preston to be this

Down.

Yeah, he hasn't come
Out of his room since he

Got back from the show.

I mean I get it, he
Bombed pretty bad.

You know preston,
When he puts his mind to

Something he goes all in.

He's not used to failing.

Really?

Failing?

Well not
Failing per se.

It just sounds like it
Didn't go as well as you

Had hoped.

I'm sorry sweetie.

Well fyi, I plan
On getting back up there.

And I
Admire your courage.

But you better think
About some new material.

Did anybody think
That maybe it was a bad

Audience?

I mean that happens.

They laughed
At all the other guys.

Well maybe they
Were laughed out by the

Time I got up there.

I mean I did go
Next to last.

And it was hot in there.

We all know comedy
Works best when it's cold.

Alright, I'm thinking
About making a couple

Changes.

I've got three spots
The

Beginning, the end and
Everything in between.

Noah!

Way to pile on.

Honey, can I
Make a suggestion?

Instead of telling a bunch
Of jokes that just anybody

Could tell, make
It more personal.

I mean you've always
Had such a great sense of

Humor, why not just talk
About your experiences,

How you see things?

More from your heart
And less from a book.

I don't know, I
Mean isn't the best comedy

Stuff people
Can relate to?

Nobody knows what it's
Like to be in a chair.

That's the
Challenge, you have to

Make them understand.

So the two
Muffins joke is out?

I should've known
You two weren't wealthy

When I noticed your
Terrible taste in

Wristwatches and handbags.

Just so you know,
Our team is going through

Wristwatches and handbags.

Just so you know,
Our team is going through

All your
Merchandise right now.

We know you flooded the
Market in forgeries and

Not just through the
Papazian gallery, but

There's several other
Notable galleries on the

East coast.

And we're aware of
Your online businesses.

That's a lot of fraud.

Well, you know what
They say, go big or go

Home.

Oh I don't think
You'll be going home.

I might.

You do realize
That we're still in

Conversations with your
Gallery owner marcie.

She's been
Quite forthcoming.

Okay look, I'm
Pretty good at making

Deals too.

What if I could give you
The biggest art fraud in

The country?

Because nobody does
Signatures better than

This guy.

Marcel dubois.

He ships more merchandise
Than you can even imagine.

Would that make a
Difference to the u.S.

Attorney's office?

We can't
Promise anything.

That's a chance
You'll have to take.

Marcel, you are
Gonna kiss me when you see

Me.

I need 150 pieces.

Yeah, I've got a slew of
Galleries just begging me

For degas and van gogh.

How soon?

As soon as you can sign.

I know, I know it's a lot.

Stop complaining
And get to work.

I'll be in touch.

End of call
Between david michael

Vaughn and marcel dubois.

Now what?

Well, now you
Should make another call.

To whom?

To the best
Attorney you can find.

On
Stage, preston wainwright.

Oh...Alright,
I think we can tell

Which one my mom is, right?

Thanks mom.

Last time I was here I
Didn't do so well as a

Standup comic and
I figured out why.

I can't stand up.

No, kidding, kidding.

There actually are some
Advantages to being in a

Wheelchair like I can park
In an accessible parking

Spot and not fake a limp
Like the rest of you guys.

Come on, I've
Seen you do it.

I saw you do it
Last week man.

But no, I don't let this
Chair hold me back from

Anything.

I went out for the track
Team; I came home with two

Black eyes and
A broken nose.

Hurdling is
Surprisingly tough.

Alright, alright, now
I'm rolling.

Actually I'm...I'm
Always rolling.

When you're in college
And people see you're in a

Wheelchair they
Automatically assume that

You're like super smart,
Which is totally true...

But no, here's
Another...Another

Benefit.

It's actually easier to
Get a date when you're in

A wheelchair because women
Love to push you around.

Alright guys, that's
Allthe time I have.

Thank you so much.

Before I leave remember,
It's not about laughing at

Someone, it's about
Laughing with someone.

So thank you for
Laughing with me.

And I will leave you with
A word of advice; never

Trust a man in a
Wheelchair whose shoes are

Worn out.

Think about that.

Alright guys thanks a
Lot, appreciate it.

\ woo, we love you
Preston!

I can't believe
You thought that red dot

Was a painting.

Well I can't
Believe that it wasn't a

Painting, that's all
There was to it, you know.

Don't look so
Surprised marcel, this has

Been quite the
Artistic collaboration.

I've been at it all
Afternoon but I think I

Finally nailed it.

Well I'm really
Impressed that you've

Taken up this hobby.

Yeah, I know, yeah.

It's like...It's so freeing
And it's like I finally

Have a canvass for my...For
My...My deepest emotions.

Hey, you know, I'm
Gonna send you a picture.

There we go.

Alright, it's coming now.

Did you get it.

Yeah, I got it.

So how much do you
Think I can get for it?

Amanda?

Collectible items
Such as jewelry, antiques

And sports memorabilia have

Turned into investment
Opportunities over the

Years.

Art is another one.

It's a multi-billion
Dollar industry that has

Given rise to scammers
Who sell forged and

Counterfeit art prints.

They market their wares
As signed, limited edition

Prints and sell them on
Internet auction sites, at

Galleries, art shows
And even on cruise ships.

As with any
Investment it's important

To do your homework.

Ask for a certificate of
Authenticity and a history

Of where the
Print was obtained.

Don't feel pressured
To make a purchase.

It's your money, be smart
About how you spend it.
