- Just keep asking myself,
who would want to kidnap Katie?
She's so annoying, you'd be guaranteeing yourself
hours and hours with her I--
- Don't you worry about that.
When the kidnapper calls, just keep her
on the line for two minutes, then we can trace it
and get Katie back.
- Okay.
(phone ringing)
(dramatic music)
Hello?
- [Phone] Ahoy from Lucatania Cruise Line!
- [Katie's Friend] Oh god.
- [Phone] This is the captain speaking,
you've been selected--
- It's a scam call.
- You get a lot of these, do you?
- Oh yeah, you know, one day it was nothing,
the next, bam, like every hour.
I must be on a list or something.
- Me too.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, I'm so glad I'm not the only one.
- It's so annoying, right?
It's like I barely even answer my phone anymore.
- Okay, but we do need to answer the phone,
so is there someone else's phone
that we can use or?
- The kidnapper said that they were calling this line only.
- Okay, but maybe we can--
(phone ringing)
(dramatic music)
- Unknown number, it's probably another junk call.
- But it's a local area code, this could be our guy.
- Well, you never really know.
- Yeah, it's called neighbor spoofing.
They take numbers from the same area code you're in.
- Yeah, it's probably more likely that it's a scam.
- That is so true, yeah, and then you pick it up,
and it's just a pre-recorded call in Mandarin.
- Okay, but if it is the kidnapper,
this could be our only chance to save Katie.
We can't take that risk.
- Okay.
Hello?
- [Phone] Your social security number has been--
- Dammit!
- I told you!
(phone ringing)
Oh no, I'm not picking that up.
That's definitely a scam, it says scam likely right on it.
- Unless the kidnapper's name is Scam Likely.
- What?
No.
No, what kind of a name is Scam Likely?
- Yeah, that sounds like a Dickensian orphan.
- Yeah.
- It could be a street name.
- A street name?
- Street names are like Bones or like
Jack.
- Okay, but I've never seen this scam likely thing before.
- I think only certain carriers do it.
- I'm on Cricket, and I'm probably getting more calls
from scam likely than I am my friends.
- 100%, I mean who calls anymore?
- Just answer it before it's too late.
- Fine!
Hello?
- [Phone] If you're not careful
death will be on your hands.
- Well I don't want that,
so just tell me what I have to do--
- [Phone] With Persephone Life Insurance,
you can be sure that your financial--
- Oh come on!
- Why would they even make an ad that sounds like that?
- I don't know these junk calls are weird.
They're all weird like that.
Can you just trust me that I know which calls are legit
and which ones aren't.
- Do you though?
Are you willing to bet Katy's life on it?
(phone ringing)
- I swear to god if this is--
- [Phone] Be careful how you talk to me
or I'll send Katie back in pieces.
- You're actually the kidnapper.
- [Phone] Uh, yes.
- It's actually the kidnapper.
- Yes!
- Woo!
- All right, that's what I'm talking about.
All right, I'm sorry no, we've had a morning.
- [Phone] Wait a minute, who's we?
- I, not we, there's no cops here.
