00:00Here are two adorable couples in front of you, Jane and John and Mary and Jack.

00:05Both are cooking something yummy for dinner together. So cute.

00:10But hey, one of the ladies is in danger. Who is it?

00:14It's Mary. Look, even though it may seem that John is trying to poison Jane's coffee, it's not like that.

00:33He's just adding some sugar. But Jack has a knife in his back pocket.

00:39It was a regular Sunday morning, and Kendall went shopping.

00:44While she was window shopping, a pickpocket ran up to her and stole a wallet from her purse.

00:51She called for help, and three police officers approached her, asking what had happened and how they could help.

00:58Can you help Kendall understand which of these three officers can be trusted?

01:14Look closely at the officers. One of them has the Apple logo on his uniform.

01:21Another one doesn't have a cap that would match the rest of his uniform.

01:25So here's the one Kendall can really trust.

01:28The other two must be the pickpocket's accomplices in disguise.

01:32At a local supermarket, employees started noticing that someone kept stealing their produce.

01:42However, they didn't spot any weird people at all, so it must have been one of their loyal customers.

01:48The store's security guard decided to re-watch the closed-circuit TV footage to find out who the thief was.

01:57Once he began watching the footage from the day before, he instantly spotted the culprit.

02:03Can you spot them too?

02:04Look, there are three customers in the footage.

02:19A woman, a teen, and an elderly lady.

02:22At the start, everything seems okay.

02:25But a couple of minutes later, the woman gets pregnant.

02:29Now, that's impossible.

02:30She's certainly hiding something she's stolen underneath her jumper.

02:34It was a friend's gathering.

02:38People were having fun, eating some scrumptious dishes that Susie, the host of the party, had cooked for them.

02:47The next day, in a group chat, Erica, Jacob's wife, texted that that evening,

02:53her husband had been rushed to the hospital, where he passed away a couple of hours later.

02:58The doctors said it was poisoning, and Erica rightly accused Susie of poisoning her husband.

03:03How did she do?

03:06Look at the image again, and tell how Jacob was poisoned.

03:18Jacob was the only one having plain water that night.

03:24Look, everyone else was drinking tea and had no issues after the dinner.

03:29It means that the water in the jug was poisoned.

03:33Polly and Molly were walking down an avenue when they decided to sit in a cafe and have some iced lattes.

03:40No sooner had they sat down to enjoy their drinks than Polly whispered in Molly's ear.

03:46We've got to run away from here fast.

03:48There's a man that escaped from prison next to us.

03:51It's dangerous to stay here.

03:54How did she know that?

03:55There were only three customers in the cafe.

04:10These two men look totally okay.

04:12But this one is trying to hide handcuffs underneath his long sleeves.

04:16Annabelle, the world's greatest actress, woke up in a hospital.

04:25She couldn't remember anything but her name.

04:28She didn't know where she lived, where she worked, or even who she lived with.

04:32One thing she knew for sure was that she was married.

04:36There was a ring with a massive diamond on her ring finger.

04:38A couple of hours after her awakening, two men showed up in her room, Ryan and Jeff.

04:46Ryan was a young and good-looking man, and Jeff, well, let's say he was old enough to be her grandfather.

04:53Both of them claimed she was his wife.

04:56Who is the real husband?

05:08Well, sorry to break it to you, but Jeff is her real husband.

05:14Yeah, Ryan has a tattoo that says Annabelle, but it's Jeff who has a matching wedding ring.

05:21Ryan must be one of her fans who wants to take advantage of the situation.

05:27Eric and Hugh were heading to the class reunion party.

05:31It's been 10 years since they graduated, and both of them wanted to impress their high school love interest, Mary.

05:37They both knew Mary was a pretty materialistic girl, so they needed to show how rich both of them got.

05:45Maybe this way, she could finally notice one of them and even agree to go on a date.

05:50Here's the kicker, though.

05:52Only one of the guys actually got rich.

05:55The other just pretended to be wealthy.

05:58Can you guess who it is?

06:07Easy peasy.

06:12Eric is rich, and Hugh is brokey broke.

06:15Yeah, Hugh arrived at the party driving a posh car, and he's wearing designer jewelry head to toe.

06:22As for Eric, he had to use public transport to get to the party.

06:26But take a closer look at the car.

06:30There are bank loan documents piled up on the back seat.

06:34Hugh probably just rented the car for the day.

06:37Meanwhile, Eric's wearing some luxury items.

06:40He probably just didn't want to waste time in traffic.

06:43Jason is a shop assistant in a department store.

06:49At the moment, there are three people in the fitting room who he's assisting.

06:54It's Jessica, the girl wearing a green dress.

06:58Sean, the man wearing a leather jacket and skinny jeans.

07:02And Alex, the man who's currently taking a larger pair of jeans that Jason has bought.

07:07One of the clients is an alien.

07:10Jason has to figure out who it is.

07:25It's Alex.

07:27Take a closer look at his feet.

07:29Only a reptile or an alien can have such feet.

07:32Mary was walking in the woods and suddenly saw a really fancy castle.

07:40It was getting late, and she thought she might ask for a stay in that castle.

07:45It was a wicked troll's castle, and he really didn't like intruders.

07:50Mary was captured and locked up in a dark room with two guards.

07:55Still, the troll gave her a chance to break free.

07:58There were two doors in the room.

07:59One door led to freedom, and the other one was locked.

08:03The guards knew which door led to freedom.

08:06One of the guards always told the truth.

08:08The other always lied.

08:10And Mary didn't know who was who.

08:13She could ask one guard only one question.

08:17What question should she ask?

08:18Mary should say,

08:32If I ask your colleague to show me the way to freedom,

08:35what door will it be?

08:37No matter which guard replies, they will point at the locked door.

08:41The one that lies will point at the wrong door on purpose.

08:46And the one that tells the truth will do it,

08:48since that's what the other one who lies would choose.

08:52This way, Mary can figure out the wrong door and choose the other one.

08:56Jane was on a hike in Africa when she decided to cross a bridge to admire the view.

09:06When she was in the middle of the bridge, she heard something moving behind her.

09:11She turned and saw a huge, hungry lion waiting for her.

09:15She turned to the other side.

09:16There were giant snakes.

09:18The water to her left was filled with hungry piranhas.

09:21Where should she go?

09:35She should jump into the lake.

09:38Piranhas don't live in lakes, especially in Africa.

09:41They live in South America.

09:43Look closer.

09:44Those are just some harmless fish.

09:46A man wakes up in a place he's never been to before.

09:52He rushes to the exit and sees two doors.

09:56When he opens the first door, he sees that the hall is made of magnifying glass.

10:01The scorching hot sun fries anyone who enters in no time.

10:05Behind the second door, a huge, fire-breathing dragon is sleeping.

10:09But anyone who enters this hall risks waking it up immediately.

10:13How can the man escape safely?

10:28He needs to wait for dust when there's no sun.

10:32Then he'll be able to get out of that place.

10:37Maria lives in Paris.

10:38Once in two weeks, she goes to Saint-Tropez to see her extravagant grandmother.

10:45This time, she bought a ticket in a machine, finished her coffee in a bar, and headed for the train.

10:51Strangely, this weekend, she didn't show up in Saint-Tropez.

10:56Why?

10:56She bought the wrong ticket.

11:10It says Saint-Tropez, Paris.

11:12But she needed Paris Saint-Tropez.

11:15When she tried to get on the train, the conductor immediately noticed that her ticket was wrong.

11:20And she just didn't have enough time to change it.
