I need to speak To a postal inspector

Right away.

I have an emergency.

The police told Me to talk to you.

Can I help you?

I don't know, I Just...I need someone to

Look at this, now.

Okay, Okay, I gotcha.

I thought it Was a joke at first.

So then what do you Think was meant by “you

Know what you did and now You're going to pay for

It”?

I have no idea.

Do you have Any exes, disgruntled

Employees?

No, I've Never fired anyone.

The company is Only three years old.

We're small but We're like a family.

People who write Letters like this tend to

Appear normal in everyday Life but under the surface

They can have a burning Anger or compulsion.

Now the way we Usually handle things like

This is that we will work With you to monitor your

Mail and then we will Analyze the evidence we

Already have.

For instance, this Postmark tells us that

This was mailed locally.

What Does that mean?

I mean are they watching Me, do I need to...

Oh jocelyn, Try to stay calm.

We're just asking you To keep an eye out for

Anything else unusual.

But we have to take this Seriously because we never

Know when it can turn Out to be more than just a

Letter.

You really went Above and beyond in this

Batch v.

Anything for My best, dearest and most

Talented friend.

And did I Mention handsome?

Mmm hmm...

She wants Something doesn't she?

You're quick.

So I know you're Going out of town this

Weekend and I was Just wondering...

You can't Borrow my car.

Why not?

I'm a way Better driver now.

Besides, you won't Even be using it.

Preston, don't you Think I'm better now?

Your Cookies have improved.

Listen, I have To go to an interview this

Weekend for my news media Class and this weekend was

The only time I could do it.

I'll fill your car with Gas, I'll even get it

Washed.

You can do all those Things, you just can't

Drive it.

Ah!

Give me that.

These are mine, you Can't have these.

Give me that.

Would this be A bad time to ask for

Another one?

Cookies Are for closers.

Hey, anything?

We did pull some Latent fingerprints off

Jocelyn's letter.

Any hits on afis?

No matches on the Fingerprints id system,

Which means the person Mailing it likely has no

Priors.

So for now the Fingerprints are a dead

End.

And I'm Guessing since it was a

Self-sealing envelope...

That there was no Dna for us to test, right.

Any good news?

I can confirm That the letter was mailed

Locally which may Narrow the scope of your

Investigation.

Okay, that helps.

And let me Just say you look terrific

Today.

Oh...

I have an interview with The inspector in charge.

Oh, Congratulations.

I hope you don't get it.

You were the One who was pushing me to

Apply for the job.

No, I was trying To push you up the ladder,

Not push you out the door.

Oh, come on, Let's not get ahead of

Ourselves, it's Just an interview.

Alright.

You really Think I look good?

Yes.

Now just go.

Okay preston, now We're gonna run an asia

Assessment so we can see How you're progressing

With the sensation In your legs, okay?

You tell me if it Feels normal or abnormal.

Don't be nervous.

Sometimes these Things can come and go.

Even if...Even when you Start walking again it's

Not gonna be like before.

Patience has never been One of my strong points.

Call noah, I'll let Him know what happened.

Or we could just Take it to my uncle's body

Shop and have it fixed Before noah even gets

Back; he will never Know the difference.

V.

Come on, just Let noah enjoy the film

Festival and let Me try to fix this?

The prints on the Envelope match the ones on

The first letter.

I'm glad we Intercepted this, it

Would've Terrified jocelyn.

Oh, no doubt.

To an untrained eye this Would look like a real

Bomb.

But this is just modeling Clay and this is just not

How you wire an explosive.

Oh, it would've Fooled me at first glance.

And we can't assume This is gonna be the only

Attempt; the next One might be real.

The threat level Is definitely escalating.

We need to run a thorough Background check on all

Our employees past and Present, and their family

Members.

Alright, I got it.

Let's get local Law enforcement involved,

Maybe that can Drum up some leads.

Can it Be done any sooner?

Okay, thank you.

My uncle said he could fix The car but it wouldn't be

Done until after Noah gets back.

Okay, well we Need something fast.

And cheap.

Let's see What we can find.

Al's fast And cheap auto body.

Well, it Meets our criteria.

Perfect.

Should I drive?

Well that sounds Like a bonafide tip.

David kaplan.

Let's call jocelyn, see What she knows about him.

Hello?

Fast and cheap auto who?

You're fixing what?

Damaged door?

What happened?

You're kidding?

No, no, no...

Okay, who brought it in?

A girl and a guy In a wheelchair?

Hello, jocelyn, This is postal inspector

Amanda wainwright, please Call me back as soon as

Possible.

Thank you.

What?

Did that voice Sound familiar to you?

I don't Know, try it again.

That's the Same voice that left the

Anonymous tip.

Okay, This is what we heard on

The anonymous tip line, This is what we heard on

Jocelyn's voice reading.

How long Does this take?

It's working, Give it just a minute.

So you're saying you don't Think this is jocelyn's

Voice?

It didn't Sound like jocelyn.

And who else would leave Her voicemail message?

Maybe her assistant?

Maybe.

86 percent match.

Let's bring in executive Assistant brenda mahalko

For a talk.

Okay, It's all set.

The car will be done at 2:00 and noah doesn't get

Back until 4:00 so We're in the clear.

Nice.

And I took a picture of Where they towed it from

So we can put it back In the exact same spot.

Perfect.

He will never know.

Nope.

Hello.

Hey...Noah.

Hey.

I didn't see my car, Is it in the garage?

No, no...We...We Sent it out to get cleaned

And detailed.

Yep.

Should Be back any minute.

Really?

Yeah, yeah, uh...

A bird.

A bird, you know....Right On the driver's side

Window.

So you guys don't Have a hose, you couldn't

Handle that?

It Was really bad.

Yeah, yeah, You wanted this one

Professionally Cleaned, it was...

But we paid for it.

After all It was our fault.

Yeah, we parked It right in the bird's

Migratory path.

I parked it.

Right, and I Should've told you not to

Park it in the Migratory path.

Well, can't Wait to see it.

Let's hang out and wait.

And you have no Idea who might want to

Hurt your boss?

No, jocelyn is Amazing, she's really a

Great boss.

Have you ever Heard of a man named david

Kaplan?

Yes, he used to Work for the company, he

Left last year.

I don't know why.

And do you remember Mr. Kaplan or any other

Employee for that matter Saying anything negative

About jocelyn?

She's the Boss, people complain, but

Nothing unusual.

Let me Rephrase that.

Have you ever heard anyone Say anything threatening

About jocelyn?

No, never.

Well Thank you brenda.

We may call you back in For follow-up questions.

Bingo.

The prints on brenda's Glass match those on the

Threatening letter And the fake bomb.

Yes!

Positive id on the prints Is enough to arrest her.

I'll get mitch Started on the warrant.

Thank you.

Oh good, that must Be your

Car.

Oh.

My car, my precious, What happened to you?

What are you Talking about, it looks

Brand-new?

It's green.

Brand-new?

It's green.

Well Green-ish, yeah.

Wasn't It always green?

It was banana Yellow, like my favorite

Fruit.

Like my best friends Who refuse to fess up.

Yellow.

You know when They waxed it, it must've

Got discolored.

Exactly.

That's Probably what happened.

Right.

Yeah, yeah, That makes sense.

Yeah.

Or you let veronica Take the car, she drove it

Right into the mailbox, Scraped the paint off the

Door, you tried to have It fixed before I got back

Not realizing that the Auto body shop called me

To get authorization and My name and phone number

Are in the glove Compartment and on the

Registration.

Well, every Story has two sides.

That's...That's The second side.

I told them not to Paint it but I must've

Been too late.

Paint it?

You know, I actually Kind of like the green.

I've always been Pro-environment.

Wait, you Told them not to paint it?

You were messing with us?

It was worth it Just to see you squirm.

Migratory path, Give me a break.

Ooh...

Brenda worked for Me for years, how could

She do something Like this and why now?

She was Gaining your confidence.

Turns out she's been Planning this for awhile.

This is All your fault.

If you hadn't laid my dad Off he'd still be here.

Hmm...Well Obviously she blames you

For the breakup Of her family.

I had no idea.

The downsizing happened Before I even took over

The company.

That's just Misguided anger.

She even tried to pin the Blame on her ex-husband,

David kaplan.

What Happens to her now?

Well, troubled as She is, mailing a bomb

Real or fake is A serious crime.

Charges like these Can carry up to a 10-year

Prison sentence.

Well thanks Again, both of you.

Just Doing our job ma'am.

Ah, now you see, It's mannerisms like that,

I love that.

I'd hate to lose That to cleveland.

Okay, we Can go with that.

Or, maybe you consider me A trusted friend and you

Don't want to lose Me to cleveland.

Huh.

You know, that Repair place did a

Really good job on my car.

It's almost like you guys Didn't go behind my back

And disregard my wishes.

Noah, we Told you we're sorry.

What more can we Do to show you how sorry

We are?

I guess a year of Free carwashes will do.

I still can't Believe you played us like

That man.

You deserved it.

You two are Trouble together.

We make a Pretty good team.

You know he's Gonna be talking about

This until we're Like 80, right?

Any chance he gets He's gonna bring it up.

Until We're 80 huh?

Sounds good to me.

He didn't just....?

That mailbox Is in a blind spot.

The likelihood Of receiving a

Bomb or harmful biological Or chemical agent through

The mail is Extremely remote.

Considering that the Postal service delivers

About 160 billion pieces Of mail each year, the

Chances of receiving a Potentially hazardous

Piece of mail are Extremely minute;

Literally almost A billion to one.

As you just Saw, postal inspectors

Investigate these Threats and hoax devices.

Fortunately these mail Threats are not frequent

Occurrences, but the Mailings are a serious

Federal offense that Endangers the recipient

And often disrupts postal Operations, and the mailer

Faces Significant jail time.

If you receive a Suspicious item in the

Mail don't open it.

Give us a call.

It's better to be Safe than sorry.
