Christmas Greetings From Ms. Claire Thomas | Vice Consul, U.S. Embassy & Consulate, Chennai - Duration: 3:24.

and a big thank you to Cornerstone for inviting me to attend as a

representative of the US consulate in Chennai I'm delighted to open this

joy-filled evening of Christmas carols and I want to extend a special welcome

to the choristers the celebrities the congregants and most especially to the

children who are here to celebrate this evening Christmas is a very special time

of year it brings tidings of good cheer and cherished traditions it is truly the

most special for children in our communities who eagerly anticipate the

magic of Christmas morning okay there are so many beautiful traditions and

festivities during the Christmas season and this is what we love about Christmas

we hang brightly colored lights too and decorate our homes we watch performances

and movies that convey the Christmas spirit like the Nutcracker ballet the

movie It's a Wonderful Life and the play a Christmas carol we also travel home to

spend the holidays with family and prepare special feasts to share with our

loved ones but more important that a busy schedule of shopping decorating and

attending performances we gather with family and friends to rediscover the

Christmas spirit and to remind ourselves of the most important things in life the

tradition of Christmas music has a particularly important place in our

celebrations because it inspires in a way that only music can we gather in

groups large or small to sing carols songs that remain close to the heart

through the year and through the ages we listen to that grand piece of music

Handel's Messiah and while we may not all be able to sing the Messiah we can

all join our voices in caroling at its essence the Christmas spirit is

fundamentally about sharing and generosity we present gifts to family

and friends and this spirit extends beyond our own family circles two people

in our broader communities in the Nativity story the three wise men

traveled from afar following the Star of Bethlehem to find the baby Jesus lying

in the manger they brought valuable gifts frankincense

myrrh and gold in this tradition people of all faiths engage in charitable

giving at this time of year because the spirit of giving transcends any

particular religious creed or tradition as Ibanez er Scrooge discovers in a

Christmas carol we gain more by sharing our riches than by keeping them to

ourselves in giving to others we receive the precious gifts of friendship and

community and connection in preparation for Christmas we are gathered here

tonight for a caroling event and to share our bounty with others in the

community let us celebrate in the spirit of generosity so that we too may

experience the joy of selfless giving and a merry Christmas to all

Ben Franklin and the U.S. Postal Service - Duration: 5:02.

According to an 1894 researched report, the earliest effort to create any sort of post

office in the colonies was in 1639 by the Massachusetts General Court when a tavern

in Boston owned by Richard Fairbanks was designated to be the first post office.

This was in keeping with the European tradition of coffee houses and taverns being mailing

centers.

The first post messenger may have started in 1672 or 1673 with instructions to "behave

civilly" and to mark trees so other travelers would know where they are going.

Around that same time, a monthly mail route was set up between New York and Boston.

It became known as the Old Boston Post Road, which is still part of today's US Route

1.

It was two decades later when the King and Queen of England granted Thomas Neal – a

man who lived in England and had never been to the colonies – a 21-year grant to establish

offices that received and dispatched letters and to set postal rates.

This created a centralized postal organization that helped foster a more efficient means

of correspondence between colonies and to encourage trade and commerce.

In 1707, the British crown bought out the grant and brought the system under their control.

By the 1730s, the colonies' postal system was pretty well-established.

Mail carriers from Maine to Georgia (in the South, often slaves) trudge across the rapidly

expanding American land to deliver letters, correspondence and contracts.

The position of postmaster had become a posh, but important one.

They were in charge of the postal rates, the exact routes taken by carriers and the locations

of post offices.

In addition, each city had its own postmaster, which carried out many of the same responsibilities

as the postmaster general but on a regional basis.

In 1737, a young 31-year old publisher, printer and well-known civic leader was appointed

to be the postmaster of Philadelphia, then one of the most populous cities in the colonies.

His name was Benjamin Franklin.

For 16 years, Franklin used his influence and power as the city's postmaster general

to increase the circulation of his Pennsylvania Gazette by decreasing newspaper mailing rates.

While this certainly does seem like a conflict of interest, this practice was actually encouraged.

In 1753, when the postmaster died from a long-standing illness, Franklin was promoted to be the joint

postmaster general – along with William Hunter from Williamsburg – for all the colonies.

In that position, Franklin helped modernized the post office.

His first order of business was to set out on a long tour in order to inspect the post

offices and survey the routes used.

He concluded that more efficient routes needed to be taken, so he oversaw the marking and

laying out of these new roads.

Next, he put in place night service between Philadelphia and New York to improve the speed

of mail delivery.

Then, he installed a standardized system of postal rates based on weight and distance

of delivery.

He also created a regular schedule for mail by boat from the colonies to the homeland

of England.

By 1760, and for the first time in over a century of operating, the colonies' post

office turned a profit for the British crown.

However, as the clouds of revolution approached, it became clear where Franklin's allegiances

laid – with the colonies.

Despite Franklin's considerable and notable work for England, he was dismissed in 1774

as postmaster general for being a colonial sympathizer.

Franklin's career being in charge of mail wasn't over, however.

Within weeks of the Battles of Lexington and Concord setting off the American Revolution,

the Second Continental Congress met and Pennsylvania's representative was Franklin.

At the time, William Goddard was running the Constitutional Post, a mail service financed

by newspaper subscribers.

The main purpose was to disseminate information about the rebellion and to connect Congress

to the armies.

Because of this, mail carriers had to swear to secure their missives under lock and key

in case the British attempted to take them.

In July 1775, citing his experience, Franklin was named the Postmaster General of the Constitutional

Post.

Since he was in that position when the Declaration of Independence was written, he earns the

distinction of being the first Postmaster General in US history.

However, he would resign in November of that year in order to become a delegate to Paris

to gain their support for the war.

Six years later, the Articles of Confederation gave the federal government the right to establish

and regulate post offices.

Revisions and ordinances continued to add shape to the post office's duties, restrictions

and rules, including one that said the federal government had a monopoly on delivering the

mail.

The Constitution – officially ratified in June 1788 – gave many of the same powers

to the post office that the AOC did.

By 1790, a United States population of almost four million was served by 75 Post Offices

and approximately 2,400 miles of post roads.

Two years later, in 1792, America's first president signed the Postal Service Act, creating

the modern United States Postal Service.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

US Big Banks Are Laundering Money For Terrorist Organizations - Duration: 7:35.

If we want to get tough on terrorism as a country, then we have to start by going after

the big banks. The big banks are laundering money for terrorist organizations and they've

been doing it for a very long time. Congress knows it's going on. The media knows it's

going on. The Department of Justice knows it's going on. You know this story you UBS.

I mean, well actually they're there. They're about four banks that were caught red handed

doing that. HSBC, HSBC. Now I love this story because this is where all these hanger ons

about, you know, there's only one party that can save America. All these hangers on that

really have never taken the time to really look behind the story. HSBC is a good one,

isn't it? Because HSBC was caught. It admitted that yes, we are laundering money for terrorism.

They even signed a two page document, item by item.

We washed, we watched the money, we knew we were washing the money. We knew where they

were Terrorists. We knew that human life was at risk and people were killed. We did all

these things. Oh yeah, we'll pay a billion dollars and everybody goes home. Nobody worries

about it. Take it from there. It was a great moment for Eric Holder to be able to stand

up there as our attorney general at the time and say, look, we're stamping down on terrorism.

We just busted this bank. They're going to pay us a billion. So it was somewhere between

1 and 2 Billion, you know, for, for laundering much more than that, for these terrorists

and the bank goes about their business. We don't know that they've stopped it by all

accounts. They likely haven't. We Got Credit Suisse, a Bank of America, HSBC, UBS are the

four big ones.

They have all been popped for this and all, at least in some way of kind of paid a fine

for it. But right now, you know when we see a a Monday morning president tweeting out

in all caps or or about Iran, threatening Iran, and then we have everybody saying, well

what about this Russian woman? Hey, listen to this though. CNN last week declared that

Russia was committing acts of war. Okay, acts of war. So all these people trying to say

we've got to protect American security. Right? Okay. Go to the banks because they are the

ones who are helping fund the actual terrorism, killing people in the US, their killing people

in Europe and in Africa and the Middle East. All over the place. Farron you saw. You and

I've done a story with HSBC. One of the programs we did. You actually had the release that

they signed a.

We seemed like we were talking about every item on the release. Here's what's incredible

about it. They admit A, as I said, we are. Yes, we are washing money for terrorists.

B, Yes. We know they are terrorists. C, we know the money's being used to kill Americans

and D we were. We have a process that basically were simply has been going on for for for

15 years and we do it because we can. That's if you read that document, basically that's

what it says. And we do it because we can. What that means is the Department of Justice,

Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, the people that caught them doing it, said, oh, we're going

to let you get away with paying a fine, and any one of those things would have put those

people in prison the rest of their lives. Let me tie one of the thing up. One of the

thing that we're seeing the same thing on opioids.

I took a deposition, uh, last Thursday. I knew this. If this is not, this is not confidential

information. Every, all the depositions that I'm having to take in the opiod case against

Mckesson and these various people I have to hold confidential, till we go to trial, which

is absurd, but at any rate, we, we now know this. Covington & Burling, who Eric Holder

works for today, works for, worked for Covington & Burling before today, work for Covington

& Burling before he went to work with, with, uh, as attorney general. His specialty was

white collar crime. Okay. He works for the lawyer that represents Mckesson right now.

Okay. That same lawyer is the lawyer who negotiated the deal with Mckesson, and this is in the

newspaper. This is. There's nothing confidential about this. So this same lawyer negotiates

with the Attorney General. They're from the same law firm. They worked together before

Eric Holder went to work as the AG.

They work together now, after Eric Holder moves from the AG in this. In this situation,

the DEA said we caught Mckesson breaking the law very clearly. They say that there should

be a. the, the, the, the, the fines should begin somewhere at a billion dollars and we

need a perp walk. Okay? It goes from that. That's the recommendation of the DEA. It goes

to from that to where the Covington & B urling attorney general that the lawyers this inside

job with the lawyers, they say the Mckesson, well, we only want you to pay $150, million

dollars and nobody goes to jail. That's this story. That's just another iteration of this

story right here with HSBC and the banks that are killing Americans daily. And now what's

happening is that we've got these lawsuits that are popping up of people actually holding

these banks accountable for their role in these terrorist attack there.

They're not easy cases to prove. And, and you know, I, I know you've worked on these

and, and we, we've met with attorneys, I've been there just to be able to listen and understand

this better, but these are tough. Listen, you got to know 100% that the money came from

a terrorist organization. Two, That the bank then gave this money to other terrorists to

carry out a specific attack. Three, that the money that was given to them was what was

spent on that attack. And four, that any injuries from any party trying to sue came from that

attack from the things that were purchased with that money. I, we're looking at incredibly

difficult cases, but they're winning. We're gonna win this. Yeah, exactly. We have, we

have one of the biggest cases, uh, you know, pending in the country against these banks.

And that is where we've caught them.

We've caught them. And actually it's not just that they admitted to everything you just

said, but we are catching. We got witnesses, we got whistleblowers, we got documents that

are coming in every day showing us that the banks to this day, as you and I are talking,

are still doing this. Why are they still doing it? They're still doing it because nobody

went to prison. They're still doing it because Eric Holder with Covington & Burling, you

know, let them go again and then we find out, oh by the way, isn't it a coincidence. Covington

& Burling now represents these people and oh, by the way, Covington & Burling in Washington

DC, Eric Holder's law firm represented him before we let him go for a billion dollars

when any one of the things that they admitted to should have landed them in prison. That's

the state of our justice department where it comes to terrorism in the United States.

And now we've got Jeff Sessions, attorney general, who's been an obscenely quiet almost

the last few months, but the few times he comes out and says something he's telling

us about. We got tamp down on marijuana. Marijuana is the greatest threat to the world as a whole,

and if Jeff Sessions doesn't come in as our savior, we're all dead from marijuana overdoses,

ignoring all of the evidence on opioids, on terrorism, on bank fraud, that piling up on

his desk every day. We could have a perp walk on Wall Street.

Waiting for God SUCKS!!! Why God makes us wait so long - Duration: 8:41.

So here's a question that I've been wrestling through this week and it goes like this.

Why did God wait so long to send Jesus?

Why allow so much time between the fall and the cross?

And as we think about these things, is there anything that you can I can learn about waiting

for God along the way?

You ready?

Let's go!

Now I don't know If you've ever had that experience where you're stuck waiting for

something you really want and time around just seems to slow down.

For me it happens when I'm trapped by a red light at an empty intersection or when

I'm at a restaurant stuck waiting for my food as my stomach is aching.

In moments like this, waiting can really really suck.

For me, I think back to the few months that took place between me proposing to Emily and

when we finally got married.

Objectively it wasn't that long of a wait since we ended up getting married exactly

365 days after our first date, but to me time seemed to crawl to a slow and here's why.

There was this time frame of a few months where we were engaged and we were doing the

whole long distance thing.

I had just taken a job teaching at a Bible College in Philadelphia and she was on the

other side of the country finishing up her Masters in Occupational therapy.

Those of you guys who have experience in this area know how sucky it is trying to manage

different schedules and time zones and still have something that resembles a normal relationship.

And so when I look at the story of Adam and Eve, this is what jumps to mind.

Every day they're communing face to face with God in the garden and then they screw

things up.

They eat the fruit, blame each other and are kicked out of the garden.

It's at this point God gives them a promise.

It's the promise of a deliverer- that one of their descendants would be born and eventually

pave the path for reconciliation and allow them to be reunited with their home and more

importantly the God that they love.

Galatians 4:4 says "But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject

to the law."

And when I read that passage I'm like how does this make sense?

What about that time specifically makes it "the right time."

I mean imagine how disappointed Adam & Eve must have felt?

They're promised the deliverer and then they have two sons and they think this is

the answer to their problems.

And then what...

Yeah...

Cain kills Abel and they're hopes are dashed.

So here's my question.

Why did God wait so long to send Jesus?

Some scholars estimate the Biblical account to be 4,000 years between Adam and Jesus.

If you take other approaches, the time is even LONGER.

What about this particular time frame makes it such an ideal time for Jesus to come and

could there be a lesson for us today about waiting for God's timing?

As always, I have a few theories that I'd like to kick around, but before I do that...

let me know what you think in the comment section below.

So what are some reasons that God waited until then?

Let me give you my answer is 3 parts.

Part 1- God needed to wait for sin to be fully revealed as evil and wicked as it truly was.

If you refer back to my video here that I did on why God didn't just kill the Devil,

you'll remember that one of the arguments that I make is that had God killed the Devil

and removed sin right away that the universe may still only be able to serve God out of

fear.

If that idea doesn't make sense to you, pause this video and check that one out by

clicking the eye in the sky, right here.

So think about how this works out.

Genesis 6 talks about life before the flood.

""The Lord observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and he saw that everything

they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil."

At this time sin is being revealed as this horrible and destructive thing.

Fast forward a bit in the story and you see this awareness of the evil of sin growing.

We get to see the wickeness of nations that are left to their own devices and what the

fruit of a society without God looks like.

One example is with the pagan deity, Moloch or the God of the Canaanites.

Leviticus describes how the followers of Molech participated in child sacrifices where parents

willingly brought their newborn babies to a giant statue of Moloch.

This statue would have his hands outstretched over an open flame and the parents would place

their newborn babies onto the burning hands to cook their children alive.

Yeah... some really gross and terrible stuff.

But an essential part in revealing the true nature of Sin.

Part 2.

Prophecy needed to be fulfilled.

I won't be able to get into all of the nitty gritty on this one, but here's the cliff

notes version of it all.

God gave several prophecies- some scholars estimate there to be hundreds of prophecies-

that needed to be fulfilled by the coming Messiah.

This was done intentionally so that the people who were looking for this deliverer could

know with certainty that this was exactly who God had sent and not some imposter playing

dress up.

And finally part 3.

This was a strategic decision on God's part.

This is actually the part of the argument that I'm still working through a bit...

but here it goes.

Jesus came during a relative timeframe of peace.

Yes, the Jews were under Roman rule and they weren't exactly passivist, but there's

a reason why historians describe this timeframe as the "Pax Romana" or the peace of Rome.

For a period of a few hundred years there was an unprecedented season of peace and the

result was an explosion of thought and culture.

Prior to this timeframe progress was often slowed since war after war would take place

and people would die, cities would have to be rebuilt and everyone would have to start

over again.

For the first time in history, you could travel by land and sea with relative safety.

Rome had developed the most amazing system of roads that has ever been created.

In fact- when I was in Rome this last year, we drove around on many of the same roads

that were built way back in the day!

Additionally, there was one common language that was spoken.

Prior to this time, in order for information to spread you would have to learn other languages

in order to communicate with different people groups.

But now, if you understood Greek, you could speak to well over 1/3rd of the entire world!

Another thing to think about is Jews.

While many Jews did happen to miss the coming of Jesus, they was still that God was able

to do with them.

At that time the requirement was that they would all meet at Jerusalem from all over

the world in order to attend the feasts.

It's actually at the feast of passover that Jesus is crucified and the feast of Pentecost

that Peter is later seen preaching to the thousands.

The result?

Thousands and thousands of Jews from all over the world would hear this message and later

go back to their homes and villages with the message of Christ.

There's more to be said, but let's pause right there for a second.

Because ultimately this answer could be wrong.

I don't know for sure, but I think there's a more important lesson for us to learn through

this story.

One of my favorite authors says this.

That "God's purposes know no haste or delay."

Or to quote the words of Gundolf the Grey, "A wizard is never late, nor is her early.

He arrives precisely when he means to."

Allowing sin to mature and be revealed as truly evil, fulfilled prophecies and strategy.

3 possible reasons why God waited to send Jesus.

Will the TOY MASTER Help Us Escape? - Duration: 19:36.

(scribbling)

- [Child] Tic Tac Toy

- Quick, quick!

Come on girls, quick!

Downstairs, downstairs!

Quick, quick, quick, quick!

(door slamming)

(dramatic music)

Okay girls, we knew this moment was coming.

The CTIA is after us because they think

I'm the Toy Master.

- And the Toy Master keeps playing crazy escape games on us.

- Exactly, it's not safe to be in our own home right now.

And, I think it's best that we split up.

- Split up?

- With so many people after me right now,

I don't want you two to be in any danger.

I have two different hotels booked under different aliases.

Here, you girls take these fake I.D.'s,

and go to the address on this paper.

I'll be at a different hotel.

I'm not going to tell you where it is

because I think it's best that you don't know the details.

- But, when will we see you again, Mom?

- Shh, I hear footsteps.

(heavy footsteps)

(dramatic music)

Okay girls, we'll reunite in a couple days,

just stay in your hotel room.

I'll come to you when it's safe.

- Okay Mom, be careful though.

- I will, you girls, good luck!

I'll see you soon!

- Mom can be in some serious danger.

- I know what you mean.

We should do something to help her, not hiding.

- I think I'm gonna stay in the house,

I'll stay hidden though.

If the CTIA is trying to get into our house,

I wanna be there to see what they're doing.

- Okay, you work on the CTIA, I'll work on the Toy Master.

- How so?

Where would you go?

- Well, the last time we spoke with him was at Toy School.

- Oh yeah, when he did that escape room challenge.

- Exactly, I'm gonna hide out there,

and see if he comes back.

- Good idea.

If you can somehow capture him,

that would prove that Mom's not the Toy Master.

- We're toy spies, Addy, we could do this!

- You're right.

Good luck.

(mysterious music)

Okay, where did that CTIA agent go?

Oh, there he is!

(clicking)

(thudding)

Stay out of my house, mister.

(keys jingling)

(door unlocking)

What?

How does he have a key to our house?

(mysterious music)

(upbeat music)

- Okay, I'm here and I'm ready for you, Toy Master.

I wonder if he'll again.

Hmm, I might as well play with some toys while I wait.

Slime's always fun!

Mm, smells just like icing!

And, there's sprinkles inside!

(ringing)

Here goes nothing.

(ringing)

Hello?

- [Toy Master] Hello Maya.

- Hello, Toy Master.

- [Toy Master] I understand that your mom is in

a little bit of a pickle.

- Thanks to you, you framed her.

Now the CTIA thinks that my mom is the Toy Master!

- [Toy Master] Oh, that is

quite unfortunate for her, isn't it?

- So, what do you want?

Why are you even bothering us?

- [Toy Master] Bothering you?

Why, I'm actually calling to offer a helping hand.

- Yeah, I'm sure.

- [Toy Master] I do want to help you, and your mom,

but you have to help me first.

- How so?

- [Toy Master] I want the items

in Miss Lucy's Toy School safe.

But, I'm having a little trouble cracking the code.

You get the safe open, and hand over the items,

and I'll help out you and your mom.

- I can't do that.

What's ever in Miss Lucy's safe

belongs to Miss Lucy, not you.

- [Toy Master] Very well then.

When your mom is arrested by the CTIA,

you just let her know that you had the opportunity

to clear her name, but you chose not to.

- Well, tell me more then.

What's in the safe, and what are you gonna do to help us?

- [Toy Master] That's for me to know,

and for you to find out.

You'll just have to trust me.

- I can't do that.

Why would I ever trust you?

- [Toy Master] Because, you really don't have a choice,

now do you?

- I suppose not.

So, where is the safe?

- [Toy Master] It's in the cupboard by the activity table.

I'd work quickly if I were you.

Your mom doesn't have a lot of time.

- Oh boy.

(upbeat music)

- What is he looking for, and what is he taking?

Those are my mom's things.

- Okay, onto the next room.

- Oh, no!

- Hmm, Tic Tac Toy.

They're the one's that created

the original Toy School Series.

Hmm, Plush Craft.

That doesn't seem to be important.

Shopkins, hmm?

(doors shutting)

- Oh no, he's gonna find me.

(ringing)

- Agent McCallister speaking.

Yes sir, I did a quick walk through of the house,

and I did not find anyone.

Yes sir, I'm gathering items for evidence now.

Is there anything in particular

that I should be looking for?

Alright, I'm on it, boss.

- Okay, I think this hotel room is far enough out of town,

that I should be okay here.

I better shut the blinds though, just in case.

Okay, it's time to get to work.

If I cannot find a way to prove that I'm not the Toy Master,

I'm gonna be in some serious trouble.

Time to get the spy gadgets out.

Battery powered flashlight, check.

Walkie-talkies, good to go.

Motion detector, could come in handy for sure.

Ooh, dart blaster.

Hope I don't need this.

A couple options for night vision goggles.

These should do just fine.

Compass, phone of course.

Fingerprint powder?

This might come in handy.

And, of course, my laptop.

(knocking)

Was that a knock at the door?

No one knows I'm here.

Who could be knocking at my hotel room door?

(knocking)

Unbelievable, it's the CTIA.

What do I do?

- [Agent Sasslefrass] Open the door!

- Oh no!

- Okay, it's definitely locked.

Where would Miss Lucy keep the combination?

Maybe on the toy shelf?

No, probably not.

The white board?

That seems unlikely.

Maybe in her lesson book.

That seems like a good place.

(upbeat music)

Hm, please, please, be in here.

OMG, this has to be it!

Combination: One, number, Twisty Petz.

Two, number, Radz.

Three, number, Scooby Doo.

Four, number, Tama what?

Okay, the safe combination must be four numbers.

And the first number,

is the number of Twisty Petz in the room.

Twisty Petz are one of my favorite toys,

and I know where Miss Lucy keeps those.

This is Gumdrops Elephant, and Wiggles Mouse.

So, there's two Twisty Petz on Miss Lucy's shelf.

But, wait a minute, I have some more on my desk

that are already opened.

Yep, right here.

I got my unicorn, my zebra, and my cheetah.

So, is two the first number of her combination,

or is it five?

Maybe I'll write them both on the board, so I don't forget.

Two, or five.

Not sure which one.

On to the second number.

Two, number of Radz.

Radz, what are Radz?

I'm gonna have to scan the toy shelf.

(upbeat music)

Radz, Radz, I don't see anything.

Where are you?

Oh yeah, Radz candy dispensers.

And these are Smushy, Mushy, Besties.

Let's see how many there are.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Six has to be the second number in the combination.

Half way there.

(upbeat music)

- Hmm, Magic Putty.

I don't see any fingerprints on this.

This looks like a good fingerprint here.

I'll collect this one.

Oh yeah, this is a good one right here.

Perfect fingerprint specimen.

This just might help us catch the Toy Master.

Hmm.

(knocking)

What's up here?

I should investigate this next.

(gasping)

- Oh no, I gotta get him out of here.

- What in the world was that?

(upbeat music)

Now, this is odd.

I'd better keep this for evidence.

- Uh, that was a close one.

I was almost caught.

(knocking)

- Open up this door, or I'll knock it down.

- Oh, I'm so sorry, dear.

I thought I heard some commotion out here,

but I'm just a little bit slower to get around nowadays.

You know what I mean?

- Oh, no worries ma'am.

I'm Agent Sasslefrass, with the CTIA.

- The CT what, dear?

- The CTIA, Central Toy Intelligence Agency.

I'm looking for this woman, right here.

Have you seen her?

- Let me see with my spectacles here.

Well ain't she a beauty?

But, nope, I haven't seen anyone this striking around here.

- Okay, well thank you for your time, ma'am.

- Mind if I keep this flyer, just in case, ya know?

- Not at all.

Good day ma'am.

- Goodbye young whippersnapper.

(door shutting)

This is so not cool.

"Wanted, Lucy Miller?"

"Lucy Miller is wanted for questioning in regard

to millions of toy theft cases around the world."

"Large reward?"

This is more serious than I thought.

I need to get a game plan together,

to prove my innocence, now.

- Number three, Scooby Doo?

Miss Lucy has a giant Scooby Doo van

over by the white board.

I wonder if that's what it means.

The Mystery Machine.

Wait a minute, does this open up?

It does!

And it's stuffed with Scooby Doo toys!

Velma and Snow Ghost.

So, spooky.

Scooby Doo and Funland Robot?

Daphne and Mr. Hyde?

What else is in here?

Scooby's Ocean Boat?

Shaggy and Hot Dog Cart?

Awesome.

Oh, this one's big.

It's a Transforming Mystery Machine.

Oh, there's one last big thing in here.

Haunted Ghost Town?

This is a ton of Scooby Doo toys.

I better count them and see how many there is.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

So, seven must be the next number in the combination.

Seven, one number to go.

Okay, number four.

Tamagotchi?

This is a stumper.

Better scan the toy shelves again.

Ah-ha, Tamagotchi!

Original Reality Pet.

These sound super cool

and I'm gonna have to check these out later.

It looks like there's two of them,

so I better add that to the board.

Okay, the combination is either two, six, seven, two,

or, five, six, seven, two.

Time to try them out.

Two, six, seven, two.

(beeping)

Uh, that didn't work.

I sure hope the other one does.

Five, six, seven, two.

- Alright, time to check the attic.

(upbeat music)

- Oh good, he's going up to the attic.

I know the Toy Master was up there.

So, maybe he left some fingerprints

that the agent will uncover.

Hmm, the Toy Master was also in that space in Maya's closet.

Maybe he left some fingerprints in that too.

(upbeat music)

There has to be fingerprints on here.

If I can find some, I'll run the fingerprints myself.

Is that one?

No.

(upbeat music)

(slamming)

(dialing)

(ringing)

- Yes, did you say that there was another door,

that led to the attic, or the crawlspace

that you wanted me to investigate?

Mm-hm, through the bedroom?

I'm on it.

(beeping)

(squeaking)

(screaming)

(beeping)

- It worked, it worked!

I opened the safe, now please help my mom!

(ringing)

The phone.

I did it, I opened the safe, now help my mom!

- [Toy Master] Not so fast.

You should have found several Harry Potter vinyl figures.

I need Rita Skeeter to complete my collection.

If you find her, I'll help you out.

- That's not fair, I opened the safe for you.

- [Toy Master] I don't care about fair.

And I'd work quickly if I were you.

It looks like your sister may have gotten herself

into a little trouble.

- Oh, no!

- Okay, I've got to revisit that footage

of the Toy Master's hideaway in the woods.

Maybe I missed something last time.

(typing)

(bleeping)

I'm picking up the CTIA's wave on my walkie-talkie?

- [Agent McCallister] Agent McCallister speaking.

I'm at the house, and I've detained a suspect.

- My house?

Who's he talking about?

- [Agent McCallister] She says her name is Addy.

- Oh, no!

I've gotta get home!

- Okay, this one is the one I need.

(tearing)

Not it.

On to the next one.

No, not it either.

Nope, but this guy is scary.

Nope.

You again?

I need to find this girl, fast.

Nope.

I found it, Rita Skeeter!

I did it, I found the one you wanted, Toy Master,

I found it!

- Yes sir.

- It'll be okay, Addy, we'll get this figured out.

- Okay sir, very well then.

(beeping)

- Well ladies, it appears there's been a mistake.

- You bet there's been a mistake!

- The Toy Master has been spotted elsewhere,

and you are officially relieved from all suspicion.

- Well, it's about time!

- Yeah!

- I apologize, ladies, for any inconvenience

this may have caused you.

- Mom, Addy, are you okay?

- Oh, Maya!

Yes, we're okay, hun.

- Agent Maya, I'm not exactly sure what happened,

or what role you played in it all,

but you're all three officially reinstated

as official toy spies of the CTIA.

- It's about time, mister.

- What should we do now?

- Hmm, how about go hunt down that Toy Master?

- Oh, yeah.

- Come on, girls!
