PRESTON: 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.

[SMACKING OF BAG]

DAVID: COME ON.

TWO MORE JABS AND A HOOK.

THAT'S IT.

GIVE ME ANOTHER HOOK.

AMANDA [PANTING] : NO!

NO!

ENOUGH!

DAVID: ALL RIGHT, DROP.

GIVE ME TEN.

AMANDA: I THINK YOU MEANT TAKE TEN, BECAUSE THAT'S

WHAT I'M DOING.

DAVID: ALL RIGHT, FINE.

BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW, YOUR SON WOULD'VE KEPT GOING.

AMANDA: WELL, PRESTON'S USED TO THIS.

PLUS, HE'S 18.

I'M NOT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE MY LAST

DEFENSIVE TRAINING.

DAVID: THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS.

I'M TRYING TO GET YOU READY.

AMANDA: DON'T YOU HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TO TORTURE?

DAVID: NOT UNTIL NOON, WHICH REMINDS ME, IF YOU

KNOW ANYBODY WHO NEEDS A TRAINER, NEED TO MAKE SOME

EXTRA MONEY.

AMANDA: YEAH?

EVERYTHING OKAY?

DAVID: EVERYTHING'S FINE, JUST A LITTLE ROUGH PATCH.

AMANDA: DAVID, WE'RE FAMILY.

WHAT'S UP?

DAVID: IT'S MY WIFE.

AMANDA: OOH, THAT KIND OF ROUGH PATCH.

DAVID: NO. NO. NO.

WE'RE GREAT.

I THINK WE LOST A BUNCH OF MONEY TO A PSYCHIC.

AMANDA: A PSYCHIC?

DAVID: MY WIFE IS INTO THIS WHOLE SPIRITUAL

ENLIGHTENMENT THING.

CRYSTALS, VORTEXES, THAT KIND OF STUFF.

SHE'S BEEN PUSHING ME TO GO TO THIS SEMINAR, AND I

FINALLY SAID YES.

AMANDA: BECAUSE YOU'RE A GOOD HUSBAND.

DAVID: A GOOD HUSBAND WHO'S OUT OF $2500 EACH.

AMANDA [GASPS] : OH.

WHO WAS THIS PSYCHIC?

DAVID: DR. RENE CARLSON.

SHE MAILED US SOME LITERATURE AND AN

INVITATION TO A SPECIAL FOUR-DAY RETREAT.

AMANDA: OH, DAVID.

DAVID: SENT THE MONEY TO HER TWO MONTHS AGO AND

HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER.

THE SEMINAR STARTS TOMORROW.

AMANDA: YOU DO REALIZE YOU'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF?

DAVID: YEAH.

THAT OCCURRED TO ME.

AMANDA: LIKE I SAID, YOU'RE FAMILY.

BUSTING THESE KIND OF SCAMS IS WHAT I DO.

I'M GOING TO LOOK INTO THIS.

HEY, HONEY.

PRESTON: HEY, MOM.

AMANDA: SORRY TO SAY.

IT LOOKS LIKE DAVID HAS QUITE A PROBLEM.

PRESTON: WHY?

WHAT'S UP?

AMANDA: HE AND HIS WIFE GOT SCAMMED BY A REAL

SLICK PRO.

PRESTON: REALLY?

THINK HE'LL BE OKAY?

AMANDA: OH, IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, BUT THEY

LOST QUITE A BIT OF MONEY, AND I'LL DO EVERYTHING I

CAN TO HELP HIM OUT.

PRESTON: YOU OKAY?

AMANDA: YEAH, SURE.

PRESTON: YOU SURE?

AMANDA: YEAH.

I'M FINE.

PRESTON: OKAY, CATCH.

[BANG]

PRESTON: OKAY.

MY FAMOUS TRIPLE-DECKER CLUB SANDWICH IS NOW A

SINGLE DECKER.

AMANDA: OKAY.

I ADMIT IT.

I'M A LITTLE MORE OUT OF SHAPE THAN I THOUGHT.

BUT DAVID REALLY WORKED ME OUT HARD.

HE HAS ME DOING THIS TAE KWON DO THING.

[SIGHS]

MORE LIKE TAE KWON DON'T.

PRESTON: WELL, LISTEN TO HIM.

HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.

AMANDA: HMM.

PRESTON: HE HELPED ME SHAVE TWO MINUTES OFF MY

MARATHON TIME.

AMANDA: HMM?

PRESTON: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

AMANDA: NOTHING, JUST TAKING A BREAK.

PRESTON: YEAH.

YOU CAN'T GET UP, CAN YOU?

AMANDA: NO.

PRESTON: NO.

AMANDA: [EXHALES] WE REALLY SHOULD PAINT THE CEILING.

NOAH: DUDE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT A RICH MAN.

PRESTON: I AM?

NOAH: THEY PICKED MY NAME TO SHOOT THE $50,000

HALF-COURT SHOT AT NEXT FRIDAY'S GAME.

PRESTON: REALLY?

NOAH: YEAH.

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF THAT?

ALL THE MONEY FROM MY JOB CAN ALL JUST BE FOR FUN.

PRESTON: OKAY.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, AWESOME THEY PICKED YOUR

NAME.

SECOND OF ALL, IT'S A SCHOLARSHIP, NOT CASH.

SO YOUR JOB MONEY IS STILL YOUR JOB MONEY.

THIRD OF ALL, YOU WERE ALWAYS A REALLY BAD

OUTSIDE SHOOTER.

NOAH: WELL, HEY, IT'S NOT LIKE I'M TRYING OUT FOR

THE TEAM.

I JUST HAVE TO HIT ONE SHOT, ONE, AND I HAVE A

SECRET WEAPON.

PRESTON: WHAT'S THAT?

NOAH: YOU!

PRESTON [GUFFAWS] : I'M YOUR SECRET WEAPON?

NOAH: YEAH!

YOU'RE A GREAT SHOOTER AND A GREAT COACH, AND WE HAVE

A WHOLE WEEK TO TRAIN.

[BALL BOUNCING]

PRESTON: ONE WEEK, HUH?

WE BETTER GET STARTED.

NOAH: YEAH.

AMANDA: NAH, I DON'T WANT THAT.

GLORIA: SO WHEN'S' THE DEFENSE TACTICS TRAINING?

AMANDA: NEXT FRIDAY.

GLORIA: HMM.

AMANDA: I HAVE TO ADMIT.

I WAS REALLY SWEATING IT.

BUT PRESTON'S TRAINER BEEN GETTING ME INTO FIGHTING

SHAPE.

[EXHALING QUICKLY]

GLORIA: OKAY.

AMANDA: YEAH, AND HE SHOWED ME THIS LITTLE TAE

KWON DO THAT MIGHT COME IN HANDY.

HO!

GLORIA: OKAY.

OH.

AMANDA: HO!

GLORIA: LOOK AT NOW.

YOU KNOW, YOU COULD ALSO WIN A SALSA CONTEST WITH

THOSE MOVES.

AMANDA: HA!

GLORIA: UH-HUH.

SO, YOU HAVE MITCH AS YOUR QUALIFYING INSTRUCTOR?

AMANDA: YEAH!

MY PARTNER, ISN'T THAT GREAT?

GLORIA: YEAH.

NO, NOT SO GREAT.

MITCH TAKES THIS REALLY SERIOUSLY.

LIKE HE'S TOUGH ON EVERYONE.

HE MADE HAMILTON CRY, AND HAMILTON WAS AN AMATEUR

CAGE FIGHTER, SO...

AMANDA: WELL, WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO FREAK ME OUT?

I BROUGHT YOU BAGELS THIS MORNING.

COULD YOU SAY SOMETHING POSITIVE, PLEASE?

GLORIA: I LIKE YOUR SHOES.

AMANDA: TRY HARDER.

ENCOURAGE ME.

GLORIA: I ENCOURAGE YOU TO BRING BAGELS TO MITCH

TOMORROW.

NOAH: THIS IS TOO CLOSE.

I'LL HAVE TO HIT IT FROM HALF-COURT.

WHY AM I STILL SHOOTING FROM HERE?

PRESTON: BABY STEPS, MAN.

YOU GOT TO GET IN THE RHYTHM HERE.

THEN, WE'LL MOVE BACK.

[BALL BOUNCES]

PRESTON: TRY AGAIN.

[SWOOSH]

[BANG]

[BALL BOUNCES]

PRESTON: USE YOUR LEGS.

YOU CAN DO IT.

[BANG]

[BALL BOUNCES]

PRESTON: WHAT IS THAT THING?

NOAH: IT'S MY GOOD-LUCK CHARM.

GOT IT FROM DAVID.

SAID HIS WIFE DIDN'T WANT IT ANYMORE.

SHE GOT IT FROM THIS DOCTOR PSYCHIC OR

SOMETHING.

IT MIGHT NOT WORK FOR HER, BUT IT WORKS FOR ME.

LIKE, HOW DO YOU THINK I PASSED MY CALCULUS TEST

AND MADE THAT SHOT JUST NOW?

PRESTON: STUDYING AND PRACTICE SEEM LIKE A

BETTER BET TO ME.

LET'S SEE YOU MAKE ANOTHER ONE.

[SWOOSH]

PRESTON: OKAY.

OKAY.

NOAH: I TOLD YOU THIS THING WORKS.

THIS IS THE START OF A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP.

MITCH: THIS DR RENE CARLSON SEEMS REALLY FAMILIAR.

ESSENTIALLY, IT'S THE SAME MODEL AS THAT PSYCHIC

CASE WE HAD IN VIRGINIA LAST YEAR.

YOU REMEMBER MADAME DUPREE?

AMANDA [SNICKERING] : OH, HOW COULD I FORGET

THE MADAME?

MITCH: WELL, I RAN THE NAME, BUT NOTHING CAME UP.

AMANDA: AND I TOLD DAVID TO BRING IN ALL THE MAIL

THAT HE GOT FROM HER.

HEY.

I HAVE TO ASK.

DID YOU REALLY MAKE HAMILTON CRY DURING THE

DEFENSE TRAINING TEST?

MITCH: OH, LOOK.

THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT.

HAMILTON IS AN EMOTIONAL TRAIN WRECK.

BUT THE GUY CRIES AT GRAND OPENINGS.

AMANDA: I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT

PLANNING TO BE EXTRA HARD ON ME FOR NO REASON.

MITCH: OH, NO.

NO.

OF COURSE NOT.

AMANDA: GLAD TO HEAR IT.

MITCH: I HAVE A VERY GOOD REASON.

YOU KNOW IT IS MY JOB TO MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST

POSSIBLE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR THE GOOD OF

THE AGENCY.

YOU GET THAT, RIGHT?

AMANDA: AND I'M STILL YOUR SUPERVISOR.

YOU GET THAT, RIGHT?

NOAH: WHAT A DAY.

EVERY GIRL IN SCHOOL MUST'VE COME IN HERE.

NO ONE'S EVER GOING TO GO OUT WITH ME.

I SMELL LIKE CURLY FRIES AND FISHWICHES.

PRESTON: AH, THE SCENT THAT DRIVES WOMEN CRAZY.

VERONICA: YEAH.

THAT SHIRT'S NOT REALLY HELPING, EITHER.

NOAH: YOU KNOW, ONCE IN A WHILE A BURGER FALLS ON

THE FLOOR BEFORE IT'S SERVED.

VERONICA: THAT DOESN'T REALLY HAPPEN, DOES IT?

NOAH: YOU EVER SEEN ME EATING ONE OF THOSE?

CUSTOMER: YEAH.

I'LL HAVE TEN HIPPO-TASTIC BURGERS, SEVEN

SHAKES, 14 ORDERS OF ONION RINGS AND DO THEY

STILL HAVE THAT TOWER OF SAUSAGE?

NOAH: NO MORE TOWERS.

WE DO, HOWEVER, HAVE THE SAUSAGE AVALANCHE.

CUSTOMER: OH, YEAH, NINE OF THOSE.

NOAH: I AM NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS JOB.

I DON'T HAVE THE CONCENTRATION FOR IT.

I'M NOT MECHANICAL.

I CAN NEVER GET THE SHAKE DISPENSER TO WORK.

[CAR HONKS]

NOAH: I GOT LOCKED IN THE FREEZER THREE TIMES.

I DROPPED MY CELL PHONE IN THE DEEP FRYER, AND LIKE

YESTERDAY I THINK I LET A COUPLE OF CAR LOADS GO

THROUGH FOR FREE.

BOSS: NOAH!

YOU KNOW YOUR MIKE IS STILL ON?

MY OFFICE, NOW!

NOAH [WHISPERING]: KEEP THE CAR RUNNING.

LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE OUT IN A MINUTE.

YEAH.

OKAY.

GLORIA: DAVID'S PSYCHIC REALLY WENT OUT OF HER WAY

TO MAKE THESE LETTERS LOOK PERSONAL.

THEY'RE EVEN HAND-SIGNED.

AMANDA: BUT SHE PROBABLY PAID SOMEONE TO SIGN THEM.

THESE SIGNATURES ARE GOING TO BE A DEAD-END.

GLORIA: YOU'RE RIGHT.

BUT IN HER ZEAL TO PERSONALIZE, SHE USED A

STAMP.

COULD MEAN A LATENT FINGERPRINT.

AMANDA: PLUS POSTMARK AND BARCODE?

GLORIA: A TREASURE TROVE OF INFORMATION.

PRESTON: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FIND OUT IF THEY

GOT A FINGERPRINT?

GLORIA: WELL, THAT IS OUR NEXT TASK, MR. PRESTON.

WE SHOULD KNOW SOMETHING LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

AMANDA: GOOD.

I WANT TO GET THIS SO-CALLED DOCTOR AS SOON

AS POSSIBLE.

SHE MESSED WITH FAMILY.

GLORIA: UNDERSTOOD.

PRESTON: HEY, AMANDA VERSUS MITCH IS TRENDING.

AMANDA: GET OUT.

GLORIA: YEAH?

NO.

HE'S RIGHT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MANIAC MITCH HAS A

LOT MORE LIKES.

BUT YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE TALE OF THE TAPE.

HE JUST SEEMS LIKE HE'S THE MATHEMATICAL CHOICE.

PRESTON: YOU WANT TO KNOW THE ODDS?

AMANDA: NO.

NO. NO. NO.

NO. NO. NO. NO.

I HAVE ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT ARE MY ODDS?

PRESTON: JUST A REMINDER, EVERYBODY LOVES AN

UNDERDOG.

[BALL DRIBBLING]

PRESTON: OKAY.

HALF-COURT SHOT, IT'S THE REAL DEAL.

[NOAH GASPS]

[BALL BOUNCES]

PRESTON: OKAY.

NOT BAD, LITTLE SHORT, YOUR ALIGNMENT'S GETTING

BETTER.

REMEMBER, AIM FOR THE BACK OF THE RIM.

ALL RIGHT, YOU MAKE THREE OF THESE IN A ROW, WE'RE

GOING HOME.

NOAH: FINE.

[BANG]

[SWOOSH]

PRESTON: OH!

NOAH: THAT'D BE ONE.

PRESTON: YES!

OKAY.

LOOKS GOOD.

[BANG]

[SWOOSH]

PRESTON: OH!

NOAH: THAT'D BE TWO.

PRESTON: ALL RIGHT, NO PRESSURE.

NOAH: NO FEAR.

COUNT IT.

UGH!

[BANG]

[SWOOSH]

PRESTON [LAUGHING]: OH!

YOU GOT IT!

NOAH: SCORE!

PRESTON: YOU GOT IT!

YOU GOT IT!

YOU GOT IT!

YEAH!

NOAH [LAUGHING]: I TOLD YOU THIS THING WORKED.

PRESTON: HUH.

DAD: YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS GOT TO REMIND MYSELF THAT

EVERY CRIMINAL, EVEN THE SMART ONES, ALWAYS LEAVE

BEHIND ONE CLUE.

YOU FIND THAT CLUE, YOU FIND THE TRAIL.

PRESTON: WHAT?

LIKE BREADCRUMBS?

DAD: YEAH.

LIKE BREADCRUMBS.

YOU JUST GOT TO TRUST THAT THEY'RE GOING TO LEAD YOU

HOME.

NOAH: WHAT?

PRESTON: NOTHING, MAN.

PROUD OF YOU.

AMANDA: THIRD TIME'S A CHARM.

PRESTON: UM-HMM.

AMANDA: UGH!

ISN'T THAT BOARD A LITTLE LOW?

PRESTON: NO.

SEEMS FINE TO ME.

ALL RIGHT, MOM, YOU'RE A LITTLE WRISTY.

OKAY.

JUST LET IT GO.

FOLLOW THROUGH.

AMANDA: OH, I HATE THIS GAME.

LET'S PLAY CHESS.

PRESTON: OOH, MOM.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO PLAY ME CHESS.

AMANDA: I DO NOT WANT TO PLAY YOU IN CHESS.

PRESTON: ANY UPDATES ON DAVID'S CASE?

AMANDA: WELL, TURNS OUT DR. RENE CARLSON TOOK

ADVANTAGE NOT ONLY OF DAVID BUT A WHOLE LOT OF

OTHER PEOPLE, TOO.

PRESTON: ANY CHANCE HE SEES ANY OF HIS MONEY?

AMANDA: NOT OPTIMISTIC.

THINK THAT MONEY'S BEEN LONG SPENT.

YOU KNOW, THE -- UGH!

PRESTON: SO WHAT TYPE OF EVIDENCE WOULD YOU NEED?

AMANDA: WELL, YOU KNOW, ONCE IT GOES THROUGH THE

MAIL, IT'S OUR JURISDICTION.

BUT THOSE LETTERS JUST DON'T GIVE US ENOUGH

EVIDENCE TO FIND THE PSYCHIC.

WE NEED SOMETHING ELSE.

PRESTON: SOMETHING LIKE...

AMANDA: SOMETHING LIKE SOMETHING SHE MAY HAVE

SENT HER VICTIMS, OR -- ENOUGH ABOUT WORK.

HEY, HOW'S NOAH DOING?

YOU THINK HE HAS A CHANCE?

PRESTON: I THINK HE HAS MORE THAN A CHANCE.

I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE THE EVIDENCE YOU NEED TO SOLVE

DAVID'S CASE.

AMANDA: HOW WOULD NOAH HAVE THE EVIDENCE?

PRESTON: HE MAY HAVE FOUND ONE OF DAD'S BREADCRUMBS.

GLORIA: THIS TALISMAN WAS MADE IN TAIWAN BUT HAS A

U.S.

DISTRIBUTOR.

AMANDA: IT STANDS TO REASON.

SHE BOUGHT THEM IN HUGE QUANTITIES.

GLORIA: UM-HMM.

AMANDA: GOOD.

I'LL CALL THE DISTRIBUTOR.

GET A CUSTOMER LIST.

PRESTON, THIS WAS A GREAT CALL.

GLORIA: YEAH.

PRESTON: ODDLY ENOUGH, IT'S REALLY BEEN WORKING

FOR NOAH.

I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE THAT BACK TO HIM.

AMANDA: SORRY.

THAT CAN'T HAPPEN.

IT'S EVIDENCE NOW.

PRESTON: OOH, HE'S NOT GOING TO LIKE THAT.

AMANDA: MAYBE I SHOULD USE IT FOR MY DEFENSE TRAINING

TEST TOMORROW.

PRESTON: NO, MOM.

YOU DON'T NEED ANY LUCK.

YOU'LL BE FINE.

GLORIA: YEAH.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

AMANDA: DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT?

YESTERDAY, YOU PREDICTED MITCH.

GLORIA: YEAH.

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY IF MITCH MAKES YOU CRY, I GET

A FREE LUNCH FROM INSPECTOR SWEENY.

AMANDA: DO YOU KNOW HOW AWFUL THAT MAKES ME FEEL?

GLORIA: OH, HONEY, DON'T CRY NOW.

PRESTON: YEAH, MOM.

SAVE IT FOR TOMORROW.

NOAH: I FINALLY FIND A GOOD-LUCK CHARM THAT WORKS

FOR ME AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE THE KEY EVIDENCE FOR A

POSTAL CRIME.

PRESTON: YOU DON'T NEED IT, MAN.

RELAX.

NOAH: FAILURE WILL BE WITNESSED BY THOUSANDS.

PRESTON: THE GAME IS PROBABLY NOT EVEN SOLD

OUT.

GET YOUR MIND RIGHT.

YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS YOUR WHOLE LIFE.

ALL RIGHT, MAYBE NOT YOUR WHOLE LIFE, BUT ALMOST A

WEEK.

NOAH: MADE ME THINK I COULD DO THIS.

BUT NOW THAT I GOT FIRED FROM MY JOB, I HAVE TO HIT

THIS SHOT, OR I'LL BE PENNILESS FOR THE REST OF

MY LIFE.

I'M LOSING IT, MAN!

PRESTON: HEY.

YOU'RE THE GUY WHO MADE THREE CONSECUTIVE SHOTS

YESTERDAY.

YOU JUST GOT TO FOCUS ON THE BACK OF THE RIM.

DO ME A FAVOR.

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES.

ALL RIGHT, PICTURE YOURSELF MAKING THE SHOT.

IT'S JUST ME AND YOU, AND AN EMPTY GYM.

NOAH: IT'S JUST ME AND YOU, AND AN EMPTY GYM.

PRESTON: YES.

NOAH: OKAY.

I GOT THIS.

PRESTON: YES.

YOU DO.

NOAH: NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

ANNOUNCER: TONIGHT'S ATTENDANCE, 12,998 FANS!

IT'S A SELL-OUT!

[CHEERING]

MITCH: OKAY.

I'M THE BAD GUY COMING AT YOU.

USE THE BLOCKS AND PARRIES WE JUST REVIEWED TO DEFEND

YOURSELF, ALL RIGHT?

YOU READY?

AMANDA: LET'S DO IT.

ANNOUNCER: AND NOW, IT'S TIME FOR TONIGHT'S

HALF-COURT SHOT.

SHOOTING FOR A $50,000 SCHOLARSHIP, JAMESTOWN

FRESHMAN NOAH WALDMAN!

PRESTON: GO GET 'EM.

NOAH: I GOT THIS.

[CHEERING]

MALE 1: THINK FAST WALDMAN!

[CHEERING]

[MITCH LAUGHS]

[SMACKING OF ARMS]

MITCH [LAUGHING]: OH, DON'T WORRY.

YOU CAN TRY AGAIN TOMORROW.

AMANDA: NOW IS GOOD.

MITCH: AH!

AH!

AH!

I TAP!

I TAP!

I TAP!

OH!

[AMANDA PANTING]

MITCH: OH!

OH!

AMANDA: MITCH, YOU'RE NOT CRYING, ARE YOU?

[GROUP CHEERING]

[APPLAUSE]

MITCH: ALL RIGHT, YEAH.

YEAH.

YEAH, WELL-PLAYED, INSPECTOR.

[BOOING]

PRESTON: AT LEAST YOU TRIED.

NOAH: I WAS CLOSE, WASN'T I?

PRESTON: YEAH.

YOU ONLY MISSED BY ABOUT FIVE FEET.

VERONICA: MORE LIKE TEN FEET.

NOAH: I SUPPOSE THERE'S A LESSON TO BE LEARNED HERE.

PRESTON: DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY'RE

HATCHED.

VERONICA: DON'T PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET.

PRESTON: NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH.

NOAH: CHICKEN, EGGS, LUNCH?

IS ANYONE ELSE HUNGRY?

PRESTON: AND HE'S BACK.

[CHEERING]

NOAH: I HOPE THAT CHEERLEADER RECOVERS.

PRESTON: YOU SHOULD SEND HER A CARD.

AMANDA: WE CONTACTED THE DISTRIBUTOR OF THE

GOOD-LUCK CHARMS AND FOUND THREE BUYERS WHO BOUGHT

THEM IN BULK.

WHEN WE CHECKED THEIR BANKING RECORDS, WE WERE

ABLE TO LINK THIS WOMAN TO THE CRIME.

DAVID: THAT'S DR. RENE CARLSON, THE PSYCHIC?

AMANDA: ACTUALLY, IT'S DEBBIE SIMCO,

THE SUSPECT.

MITCH: YEAH.

SHE'S NOT MUCH OF A PSYCHIC.

SHE DIDN'T SEE US COMING.

OW.

WELL, SHE'S BEEN INVESTIGATED FOR THIS

BEFORE, BUT MANAGED TO SLIP THROUGH THE LEGAL

SYSTEM ON A TECHNICALITY.

THANKS TO YOU, WE GOT HER.

DAVID: HOW?

AMANDA: WE USED AN ADMINISTRATIVE TOOL THAT

NO OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY HAS, A MAIL STOP.

IT'S A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER THAT

ALLOWS US TO KEEP MAIL FROM GOING TO OR FROM THE

SCAMMER.

WITH NO SOLICITATIONS GOING OUT, NO MONEY COMING

IN, WE ESSENTIALLY PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS.

MITCH: THEN WE PUT THE CRIMINAL CASE TOGETHER AND

HERE SHE SITS.

SHE'S NOT SLIPPING AWAY THIS TIME.

NOAH: THE BARBECUE HIPPO IS BACK!

THE BARBECUE HIPPO IS BACK!

IT'S BACK, PEOPLE!

IT'S HERE!

PRESTON: HEY, NICE TAIL, HIPPO!

NOAH: GUYS, I CAN'T BE SEEN TALKING TO YOU AGAIN,

OR THEY'LL FIRE ME.

VERONICA: I THINK YOU LOOK CUTE, NOAH.

PRESTON: HEY, SO THIS IS YOUR PUNISHMENT?

NOAH: NO.

AFTER MISSING THAT SHOT, IT'S NO FUN BEING ME.

I VOLUNTEERED FOR THIS JOB SO NO ONE WOULD RECOGNIZE

ME.

MALE 2: HEY, AIR BALL, NICE GAME!

NOAH: THE BARBECUE HIPPO IS BACK!

IT'S BACK!

COME GET IT!

GUY COTTRELL: PSYCHIC SCAMS CAN

ROB YOU OF YOUR MONEY AND YOUR EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING.

THESE FRAUDSTERS WILL PROMISE TO REMOVE A

BAD-LUCK CURSE, BRING YOU GREAT FORTUNES IN YOUR

FUTURE, OR HELP YOU FIND YOUR SOUL MATE.

THEY'RE GOOD AT TELLING PEOPLE EXACTLY WHAT THEY

WANT TO HEAR.

AMANDA: BUT VICTIMS WHO BUY INTO THESE SCAMS ARE

NOT ONLY THROWING THEIR MONEY AWAY.

THEY'RE TAKEN ON AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER

RIDE THAT CONTINUES TO REQUIRE MORE AND MORE

MONEY TO REACH THEIR GOAL.

GUY: AND THEY NEVER GET THERE.

SO NEVER GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD OR BANK ACCOUNT

INFORMATION TO ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW AND TRUST, AND

IF THEY ASK FOR CASH, OR AN IMMEDIATE WIRE TRANSFER

OF MONEY, A RED FLAG SHOULD GO UP RIGHT AWAY.

PROTECT YOURSELF.

DON'T DO IT.
