Original subtitles

- Target is entering the premises.

- Come on.

- Stop! Police!

- Get down on your knees with your hands behind your head.

- Hey, boss, looks like we have the right guy.

- How did you find me? I never left a trace!

- You didn't count on Olivia Lanigan being on the case.

Take him away, boys.

- Well done, boss.

- Great job, Olivia. Let's go.

Olivia! Olivia! Olivia!

- Olivia, wake up, honey. Breakfast is ready.

You're gonna be late.

- Morning Mom, morning Dad.

- Morning, honey.

- Good morning, sweetie.

You're not wearing that

old shirt again, are you?

- What? It's my favorite shirt.

- Clearly.

- Won't be a problem for long, Mom. Once I join the force,

I'll be able to wear a uniform every day. Right, Dad?

- Mm-hmm.

- I'm ready for our morning briefing, Chief.

- Morning, cadet.

- I call this morning briefing

of the Clearwater Florida Police Department to order.

We had a relatively quiet morning yesterday.

Two attempted petty thefts at a local bakery,

one noise complaint, and an attempted B&E.

- Is there any progress on the pet disappearances?

- I'm sorry, honey. We just don't have the resources

or the officers for everything, okay?

But we did put your posters up.

- But Ms. Kerney's cat is still missing, Dad.

And Mr. Elmore's poodle went missing

in front of the parking lot. There's a new place next to it,

like a butcher shop or something.

And I was thinking maybe-- - Honey...

- You could just ask them if they saw anything.

- I'm not bothering Jimmy.

And don't you go over there bothering him either.

Little girl has no place in that butcher shop.

- Yeah, but can't you just ask?

- Olivia, don't go over there. I'm serious.

I can't go into detail now but it's not safe.

- But what about the pets and their owners?

- I know this is important to all of them.

And to you.

Maybe we can assign-- - Carl...

Please stop putting these police fantasies in her head.

- It's not fantasy!

I'm gonna be a great cop one day, just like Dad!

- Young lady, you are not like your father.

- Why, because I'm a girl?

- No. Because being a police officer is dangerous, Olivia.

You heard your dad talking about all the crime going on.

- It's not even that bad.

- A crime is a crime.

- But Mom! - Okay.

That concludes our morning briefing.

Time for school, Liv.

- And change your shirt. Thank you.

- Good morning, class.

- Good morning.

- Before we get started,

we have a new student joining us.

Welcome to the Clearwater Junior High family, Jayden.

Say hello, class.

- Hello.

- Hey, Ms. B. Sorry I'm late.

- It's Mrs. Brown, Gabe. And no, you're not sorry.

Olivia, please add another tick mark.

Take a seat.

- Sorry.

- Hi, everyone.

My name's Jayden Winfield.

My mom owns the new electronics shop downtown.

So, I love tech, too. And anime.

Especially the ones with robots.

- That's enough, class.

Thank you, Jayden. You can take a seat.

Okay, everyone take out your textbooks, please.

- Man. Man, this is not worth the money.

Been sitting here for over three hours now.

I'm not getting paid near enough for this.

- This lousy coffee.

- Hmm.

- Is this all you have to say?

- Oh, are you sleeping?

- No! No, no, I am taking in the ambience.

It is a lovely Monday to be relaxing in the park. With you.

On someone else's dime. Not too shabby.

- We're here to do a job, you ninny.

Not take in any "ambilance", okay? And we have a crapload

of responsibility to get this thing right, you know?

- Ambience.

- Oh.

- Sir, can you please pass the ball?

- Uh, oh, oh this ball here? Oh, this ball?

- Yeah. - Yeah sure, no problem.

- Thanks.

- Yeah!

Stupid little rugrats!

Now, where was I?

- Responsibility.

- Responsibility. Exactly.

- Oh, oh, he's so furry! Just --

- Responsibility!

- Oh! Oh. Hmm.

- Come on, now. Come on, now.

- Okay!

- Go, go, go!

- Will you hurry up? Go, go, go, go!

- Let's go!

- Come on, little fella.

- Hi ladies. Hi. Come on now. Any second.

- Come on, come on. Come on.

Good boy, good boy, yes good boy. Good boy! Good!

Gently, gently.

Hey! That's my dog!

- Remember, we have a test on Tuesday

for chapters three and five.

- Olivia, hang back for a sec, okay?

- Jayden?

- Yes, ma'am?

- So polite. Huh.

Jayden, there's someone I want to introduce you to.

Olivia here is the model student

and part of the school's peer mentoring program.

She's volunteered to help you settle in around here.

- It's cool. I just know how hard it is to fit in

when you're the new kid. - You do?

- Yeah, we moved in three years ago

when my dad became police chief.

- Wow. Cool.

- Patricia Brown.

- Sorry, kids. I gotta run and take care of something.

Jayden, tell your mom I'm going to call her, okay?

- Mrs. Brown knows your mom?

- Yeah. Um, they were roommates in college or something.

My mom did like business and Mrs. Brown took chemistry.

- Do you want me to come by your house so we can talk more?

- Great.

- Hey, new kid.

Jay, right?

- Uh, Jayden, yeah.

- You're into anime?

- Um, yeah.

- Cool, me too.

More of a manga fan but I'm crazy into the robot animes.

- Awesome!

Um...I mean, yeah. That, that's cool.

- Yeah well, we should hang out some time or something.

- Uh okay, yeah.

- Well, I gotta get home now though.

My dog just had puppies and I gotta feed her.

- Puppies? I love puppies!

- Oh well, you wanna come see 'em?

- Uh, um sure. That'd be dope.

- Okay.

- That'd be dope. Really, Jayden?

- Oh hey, Chopper, come here girl!

Hey.

- You named your girl dog Chopper?

- Yeah. What's wrong with that?

- Uh, nothing, man. Nothing.

- Oh, what are the puppies' names?

- That's Cruiser, Racer, and Scooter.

- Ah, I get it now. Hi, you guys. Oh, hi Chopper.

- You wanna go play with them?

- Uh, yeah!

- Hey, wanna get some snow cones?

And we could take Chopper for a walk, too.

- Sure. - 'K. You guys stay here, okay?

We'll be right back. Come on, Chops.

- Can we go home already?

- No! We need at least one more of these fleabags

otherwise the boss'll turn us into sausages, okay?

So, just shut up and do your job, Jerry.

- Fine!

- Gosh.

- Looking. Hmm.

- It's supposed to be in me not on me.

Do you see what I see?

- Yeah, some people make our job too easy.

- Yep. Let's go.

Early fish gets the worm.

- Early bird gets the worm.

- What do you know, you idiot? Come on,

let's go get the puppies! - I'm eating.

- You're always eating. Let's go!

- Come on!

- Whoa, hey.

- I... I'm sorry sir.

- Watch yourself, kid.

- Jimmy the butcher!

- What's that noise?

- Oh, shoot.

- Oh, what is that?

- It's a tablet I modified.

- Oh, that's pretty cool.

- My mom gets me all kinds of stuff from her shop.

- Hmm.

Ooh, do you have the rotten egg fart app installed on it?

- I have... no idea what that is.

Um, after we get our snow cones, I gotta run. Olivia's coming by.

- Ugh, Olivia.

- You want rainbows?

- Sit. Uh yeah, two rainbows, please.

- Thank you.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

- And give Olivia a break.

She's not so bad. See you tomorrow.

- All right.

- Scooter? Cruiser, Racer?

- Scooter! Cruiser! Racer! Where are you?

Come on!

Scooter! Racer! Cruiser!

- Whoa, this is so cool!

- Thanks. My mom helps me with it.

- Awesome. What about your dad?

- He's a writer. He works from home.

- Oh, wow. Anything I might have read?

- Do you read many blogs about men's sportswear?

- What's that?

- Exactly.

I swear, his real job is to embarrass me.

Oh, what about your mom?

- Oh, her job is to make my life difficult.

- Hi, kids.

I thought you might want some cocoa for your playdate.

- It's not a playdate, Dad. I'm 13!

- Nice mugs.

- They're Jayden's favorite.

He's had them since kindergarten.

- Dad!

- Oh uh, don't get me wrong. Jayden is quite a rad dude.

- Dad, please. No one says rad.

Oh, sure. I got it, champ.

- You know, Jayden might be a bit of a techie,

but he's not a nerd. He's actually quite the athlete.

- Dad, seriously!

- My father, ladies and gentlemen.

And he wonders why I hardly ever have any friends over.

- You don't have to walk me home.

- Hmm, my dad would never let me hear the end of it

if I let a lady walk home alone.

- What's up with all these missing animal flyers?

I see them all over the place.

- There's been a lot of disappearances lately.

Way too many, if you ask me.

And my dad says he can't do anything about it.

So, I've launched my own investigation.

I'm going to crack the case, find the missing pets,

and convince my mom that I'm meant to be a cop.

- Just like that, huh.

- Yep, just like that.

- Scooter! Racer! Cruiser!

- What's he doing?

- Scooter!

Come on, Scooter! Racer!

- Gabe.

- Come on, he looks like he needs help.

Anyways, he's not that bad.

And his puppies are adorable. Come on.

- Cruiser! Racer!

- Gabe, you all right?

- No! The puppies are gone!

I searched the whole neighborhood

but I can't find them.

- We'll help you look. - I don't need help from her.

- Trust her. Her dad's the police chief.

And your puppies aren't the only ones who've gone missing.

- Olivia's already investigating.

- Hey, Gabe. Who're your friends?

- Uh ma'am, I'm Jayden Winfield.

Uh, we just moved in down the street.

- Olivia Lanigan. Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you both. I'm so happy you're make--

- Gabe?

- I swear I closed the gate.

- What? What happened?

- The puppies are gone!

- Gabe, I've asked you a million times

not to leave the puppies outside while we're gone.

- Jayden, Olivia, I think you two should go home now.

- But we can help.

- No, no, no, I appreciate that but this is his responsibility.

Come on, Gabe.

- I got to get home for dinner. Dad's making lasagna.

- Okay. Thanks for hanging out.

- You think Gabe's gonna be okay?

- I can't imagine how bad he probably feels

but it's not his fault if we have pet thieves on the loose.

- Olivia, can you get it?

- Got it, Mom.

- I guess you didn't find your puppies yet?

- No, I'm...

I'm afraid not.

I need your help. Both of you.

- But you do realize you haven't said five words to me

in all the time I've been here.

And what about the clipboard incident?

- Yeah, I know. Okay? I'm sorry.

But Jayden mentioned your investigation earlier

and I just thought-- - Shh!

We have to be quiet. We need to talk outside.

All right.

So, what's up with all this secret agent stuff?

- Hey, her mom can't know, okay?

We have to be stealth about this.

- I'll take the case.

Justice doesn't play favorites.

Jayden, you're a tech genius. You can handle our comms.

- Uh yeah. I can install cameras that can be controlled

remotely so we'll know what's going on.

- I can figure out a search pattern to keep an eye

on the neighborhood for suspicious activity.

- Great! Uh, let's get started. We can use my place as our HQ.

- Okay, let's go.

- Uh guys, what about me?

- What about you?

- Oh, they're my puppies! I wanna help.

- Doing what?

- I'm smart.

Street smart. I mean, I know how the world actually works.

- Hmm.

We'll see. But you have to play by the rules for once.

- Okay, fine, I will.

- Okay, gentlemen, let's find the missing pets.

- Ooh, ooh, ooh! The money we're gonna make with these beauties!

- These little fluffballs are so cute. I can't take it.

Aw, it's really kind of a shame, you know.

I mean, what's gonna happen to 'em?

- Shut up, you're making me sick.

- Ow! - Okay? They're a commodity

like real estate and coffee, okay?

And anyways, what is more important than money?

- Happiness.

- You idiot! No,

nothing is more important than money!

Geez.

Besides-- - Hey, hey, hey, hey, easy.

- That was a "retoricus" question.

- It's rhetorical.

- Isn't that right, you fluffy monster?

You little fleabags are gonna pay our bills.

- Oh, really? Oh, you, you...

you stupid little mutt! Oh!

- Oh, if I hear one giggle, just one giggle. Go ahead, test me.

- Good boy.

- And put it back in the cage. Let's go.

- The cameras are ready.

I'm prepping the tablet for the cameras now.

- Oh, wait, wait, wait.

- You're forgetting one very important thing.

Did you install the rotten egg fart app yet?

- A fart app?

- Yeah, trust me. You never know when you might need it.

- I, I, I mean I guess. I'll check the app store.

- Glad to see we're focusing on the fundamentals.

According to my investigation,

17 animals have gone missing within the last few weeks.

Four incidents have taken place within the last week alone.

Not including Gabe's puppies.

The crime scenes are marked by the red pins.

I marked seven strategic traffic intersections

in the neighborhood where most of the crimes had took place.

- Jayden, how many surveillance cameras do we have available?

- Only four, unfortunately.

- Then I suggest we put them here, here, here,

and... here.

Gabe, are you available this afternoon

to help Jayden with installation?

- Sir, yes, sir.

- Olivia?

- Hang on a second.

You know what's there?

- What?

- Nothing special. I mean...

It's just a parking lot and oh, that new butcher shop.

- Exactly! Jimmy the Butcher!

Mr. Elmore's poodle went missing in front of the parking lot.

And my dad seems really worried

about me going anywhere near the butcher shop.

- Why?

- I don't know. He didn't say.

Okay, you two hang up the cameras and in the meantime,

I'll go out to the butcher shop.

See if I can get any answers from him.

- Man, we definitely got the harder job.

Should've gone with Olivia.

- Relax. We're almost done.

- Better?

- Uh, more to the left.

Bit more.

Perfect.

- All right.

Chopper?

Chopper?

- Ah, come on. Hurry up, come on.

- Look how cute it is! Oh, what a-- look at this

little, cute little fella. You're so adorable.

- What do you think you're doing with my dog?

- Oh, this is your dog? - Uh...

- Yeah! - Oh, no we uh--

we were just feeding it. We thought it was a stray.

- She's not a stray, she's mine.

Come here, Chopper!

- Chopper? Who names a girl dog Chopper?

- Seriously, what is wrong with you guys?

- Uh, you know, you uh, should really keep the dog on a leash.

- You know what? It's enough advice. Let's go.

- Yeah, of course. Of course. Yeah, we gotta go.

- You kids have a great day. - Houses to paint and uh--

- Beautiful, gorgeous dog you got there.

- All right, Jerry, hurry up!

- That was weird.

- Yeah. Why was the back of their van open?

- I don't know.

- Hello?

I don't care what excuse you have this time, all right?

I need it this week, now.

Well, you only brought me four last time.

How many do you have now?

Three?!

Well, could be more but...

that'll work. What colors you got?

- Yeah, white.

- And brown.

- Good, and they're pure?

All right, tomorrow 4:00,

you bring the goods, I'll bring the cash.

- Olivia, no running in the hallway.

- Sorry, Mrs. Brown.

- You guys! You guys, you guys! I think we have our man!

- Who?

- Jimmy the Butcher.

- Wait, what?

- I'm afraid so. Apparently he turns stolen pets into sausages.

- I guess I'm done with that.

- Uh okay, so you're saying that the butcher

is just driving around catching people's pets?

And you saw him doing this?

- Well, no. But I heard him on the phone.

He got four delivered to him

and four more pets went missing recently.

Someone is bringing him another shipment of three pets

today at 4:00.

I heard him say white and brown ones.

- Where's the delivery? They're 20 minutes late.

- Hmm, did you bring your notebook for the checkmark?

- Ha ha, very funny.

- Still think we should have called your dad, Olivia.

- I know, but we need probable cause first.

- Yeah, right. Olivia's only doing this on her own

because you wanna prove your mom wrong.

- Maybe that too, but I promise you guys,

as soon as we have evidence, we will bring my dad in.

- Mm-hmm.

- I think something is happening.

- Trust you didn't run into any unexpected entanglements?

- You kidding me? Easy breezy.

- You ready to make some sausage?

- Sure. Uh, that is uh... assuming you brought the bread?

- Oh, I brought the bread. Did you bring the ice?

See what you got.

- What are they even talking about?

Is ice code word for my puppies or something?

- Yeah, is this like crime speak?

- They're being careful in case they're being monitored.

- Excellent. Here you go. This way.

Right in here. Good.

Ah!

- What happened? We lost them.

- Too much interference probably from the butcher's machinery.

Give me a few minutes. I might be able--

- No, dude, we don't have a few minutes.

We gotta get in there.

- Okay, wait.

If we just barge in there without probable cause,

it will all get thrown out in court.

- Guys, in case you forgot, we are literally children. Okay?

Look, I care about the pets

but I'm not trying to become sausage myself.

- Then I'm going.

With or without you guys.

- Cool. Call us when you're done.

- No way. We are all going together.

- If my parents find out about this...

don't wanna think about it.

- I can't see anything.

- We're gonna have to sneak in.

- Whoa.

- These are some beautiful specimens.

- Shh! Chopper.

- Hey, did you hear that?

- All I hear is cha-ching!

- Let's get closer.

- Are you recording on the tablet?

- Yeah, I am.

- I can't see what's in the cooler. I have to get closer.

- No.

- Shh, Chopper!

- There's definitely something over there.

- It's a trap. It's a trap! Let's go!

- Hey, come on!

Whoa!

What are you kids doing?

- That was for the puppies.

- Yeah, for the puppies.

- For the puppies.

- Uh, guys... - What?

- Diamonds! Not puppies!

- Oh. Oh, we gotta call the cops.

- No, we've gotta run! - No, I'm the cops.

I'm the, I'm the cops.

I'm FBI.

- Oh boy, oh boy.

- I'm finished.

- Special Agent Brennan, on behalf of the Clearwater

Police Department, you have my sincerest apologies.

- Six months' worth of work was just about jeopardized tonight.

At least the bureau caught the two guys before

they got out of town.

- So, you got what you needed then?

Yeah. I think we've got enough to crack

the entire diamond smuggling ring.

What I'm concerned about is how dangerous it was

that these kids busted in,

in the middle of an active investigation.

- You could have gotten hurt. Or worse.

- I think it's best for everyone involved

if we just keep this little incident to ourselves.

- I agree. Thank you for your understanding.

I really appreciate it. - Yeah. Yep.

You three, leave catching the bad guys to us.

- Olivia, I realize this is partially my fault

but you are not police.

What you kids did is called breaking and entering,

which is a crime.

- It was my fault.

My puppies got taken and Olivia and Jayden

were just trying to help me find them.

- So, your puppies went missing too?

When?

- Two days ago.

- Did you report this?

- Not yet.

- You don't have to salute, Jayden. This isn't the army.

- Oh, um right.

Uh, sir, Olivia believes that the missing pets are connected

and I trust her.

We may have been wrong about the butcher but

we're not wrong about that.

- Olivia may be right.

In fact, two reports were filed this morning.

Apparently two more pets went missing last night.

- Really? Where?

- A dog on Pine Street and a cat on Cypress.

- That's great! That means we have more leads.

- No, you don't.

- As the Chief of Police of Clearwater,

I'm putting an end to this investigation right now.

We're looking into this case now.

Olivia, do I make myself clear?

- Yes, Dad.

- Cases like these are difficult to solve

even in the best times.

Either the dogs or animals have already been sold

or what's more likely...

they're being used for animal testing.

- Either way, it's almost impossible to track 'em down.

We're gonna do the best we can, okay?

- Ooh! Ha! Ha! Ha!

All right. Here we go. Here we go.

- Please.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

- Lift with your legs, little brother, with your legs!

From the legs!

Lift! - I'm trying!

I'm trying.

- Oh, I gotta take this. Shh! Oh uh, hey pet... uh boss.

Yeah, yeah, we're here uh...

- The drum was exactly where you said it was

and I'm lifting it into the van by myself as we speak.

Yeah, oh no, no,

we're right on schedule. No thanks to Jerry.

We'll be at the site right when you arrive.

- What's that, boss?

There's kids sneaking around?

How do you know?

- Hello? - Hey. You okay?

- No. You?

- Well...

I'm probably gonna be grounded for a month,

not that my mom even knows yet.

- I get it. Hey, thanks for earlier, by the way.

- What do you mean?

- The way you stood up for us in my dad's office,

that was a very generous move.

- No prob.

- Hang on, Jayden's calling. Let me add him in.

- 'K.

- Hey, Jayden. Gabe's on the other line.

- Guys, you won't believe it.

So, remember how Olivia's dad mentioned

two other disappearances?

- Yeah.

- Well, my parents made me take down the cameras

and I had a look at the footage of the two cameras close

to the new crime scenes, and guess what?

The same old van was driving around

the night of the disappearances.

- Can you make out the license plate?

- Not on camera

but I used a software tool to sharpen the image.

- That's great!

- And there's more.

I think it's the same van Gabe and I saw yesterday.

- Are you kidding me? We've got them!

- Awesome! Olivia, can you tell your dad

so we can arrest these guys?

Absolutely.

Wait... I don't know if we have enough yet, though.

I'm not sure if pictures of a van count as evidence.

- So, technically we got nothing!

- But Chopper and the puppies can't wait for your dad

to figure this out all on his own.

The puppies are in danger.

- I know but there's no other way.

No! No, no, no!

We can not get this far and then not do nothing.

We need to find these two guys and their van.

- Yeah, I know but license plate is nothing

without a database to look it up on.

- I know a database we could use.

- Please don't say it.

Can we do this tomorrow?

- No, today's my dad's day off.

- Yeah, but isn't this like a felony?

- Hey, we could be cell mates.

- I can't go to jail. I have food allergies.

I'd never survive!

- Relax, man. I mean, we're gonna be fine.

I didn't get this far in life by playing by the rules.

- You didn't get far in life? You're 13.

- Touché.

That's our cue.

There's only one officer at the front desk now.

What's the password? - Olivia1234.

- Are you really sure?

I mean, that would be the weakest password ever.

- Trust me, I've seen my dad log on to his computer

a million times.

- Okay, copy that. We've got our program,

top right corner, DMV records,

we get the license plate information and that's it.

Right? Easy. Quick in, quick out. Done.

- Perfect. Let's do this.

- Olivia? Hey.

- Hey, Phil.

- You're not hanging with those troublemakers

from the other night, are ya?

- No. They're probably grounded until graduation.

- Good, because it doesn't take much to get a great kid

into a bad situation. - Mm-hmm.

- Now, what can I do for ya?

- Well, my dad's birthday is coming up and I wanna get him

something special. So, I thought I'd ask you

if you had any ideas on what he might want?

Has he mentioned anything?

- Actually the guys and I--

Hey, hey, you okay?

- Could I have some water, please?

- Yeah, of course.

Here you go.

- I'm in.

Okay.

- Shoot. We need a different password for the DMV.

- What?! Olivia didn't mention anything

about a second password.

- What do we do?

- Try putting in the same one again.

- Okay, but I need to be careful. I'm sure the system

only gives us a limited number of times before it locks.

- We got your dad a brand new

barbeque smoker for his birthday.

- Oh, he's gonna like that.

- Yeah, so maybe you can get him something along those lines.

Uh, a funny apron or a personalized chef's hat.

Something like that.

Oh sorry, let me get the phone real quick.

- Um, Phil!

It's just the gift. It's really important.

Olivia, I'll be back in a minute.

- Please Phil, one second!

- Chief Lanigan's office.

Oh, hey, Special Agent Brennan.

No, no, Chief's not here right now.

Really? Huh. That's something.

Uh, yes sir, I'll make sure to tell him right away.

All right. Thank you. Bye.

Aw, Chief.

- Okay.

- Okay, what are we gonna do?

- I guess we're gonna have to do this the hard way.

- Are you completely insane?

You'll have overwritten the Chief's password

and he'll know somebody's messing with his computer.

- Street smarts.

- Well, did you get it?

- Yep, including the guy's criminal record.

- Oh.

- Oh, oh, look at you!

Mighty hunter. You are so fierce!

You, my friend...

are an apex predator.

Whoa! Okay, okay, okay.

You deserve your prize, mighty hunter.

Here you go. - Jerry!

What are you doing out here?

Who, me?

- No, not -- the cat, you moron! Of course, you.

What are you-- what are you doing?

- Nothing.

- You playing with that kitten again, aren't you?

Ugh! Oh!

- They're just so cute. I mean, look at him.

So furry and fluffy

and he loves it when I scratch his little belly.

- Oh, you're disgusting, you dunder-headed lummox.

I told you, don't get attached to him.

It's gonna make it too hard on you when the deal is done.

- Now, come on, man. Go start loading the van with the crates.

Let's go!

God, you're gross.

Really.

♪ Oh yeah ♪

♪ All right ♪

♪ Oh yeah ♪

♪ All right ♪

- Well, I'll be in my room.

♪ Yeah ♪

♪ All right ♪

♪ All right ♪

- Nice to meet you, Kyle Thornton.

He definitely fits the profile. Previous convictions for theft,

and handling stolen property as well as other petty crimes.

Are you sure this is the guy you saw

when you installed the cameras?

- Definitely.

- Yeah, and he had another guy with him.

- We'll have to go out to his place and look for ourselves.

Huh?

- Okay, look, y'all know I'm pretty much down for whatever,

but this is too much. I mean, even for me.

These guys are some serious criminals and we have them,

so let's just give it to your dad.

- Seriously! We literally almost just got caught

in the police station and that's not counting

almost getting turned into sausage.

Okay, and the farm is what, ten miles away from here.

Just give it to your dad, Liv!

- It's not that simple! We have clues, not proof.

We have to go out there and get some so we can bring my dad in.

We'll also have to skip school tomorrow.

I'll meet you in front of Gabe's house at 8:30.

- Come here, Chopper.

- That's not good.

There's a few things a chemist could do with these chemicals.

None of it good.

- Are their collars there?

- There's so many.

- Gabe?

They're dead.

- Don't say that. You don't know.

We're gonna find them. Trust me.

- I'm sure they're alive and we'll get them back safely.

- Don't give up, Gabe.

Come on, let's get outta here before we get caught.

- Come here, Chopper.

- Wait.

We need to go get my dad and you guys have to back up my story.

- Well, why don't you just call him?

- I need to talk to him in person.

Two days ago, I promised him to stay out of the case.

I can't just call him out of the blue

and tell him to meet us at a crime scene.

He'd go ballistic!

- Okay, let's not waste more time. Let's go.

- I'm not going anywhere.

- What? - Why?

- They might come back. And if they do,

then I'm not just gonna let them destroy all this evidence.

- Don't be a hero, it's not safe.

- We're out of time! If I stay here

then the cops will have to come back,

but if all three of us go then we'll just be triple grounded.

I don't know that they'll even listen to us anyway.

- Here. So you can record anything suspicious.

You remember how this works, right?

- Yeah.

- Stay safe. We'll be right back.

- You got it.

- Coming!

- Coming! Coming!

- Hi, Reg. Sorry to disturb you.

Uh, I just wanted to check and see if Jayden was okay?

- He's fine. Why do you ask?

- He wasn't at school today.

- What? Please, come in.

- I'll be right back, okay? Stay here. Don't move.

Be quiet. I'll be back.

- We got him! Kyle Thornton. That's who took the pets.

- Yep, what she said.

- Excuse me?

- We went out to his farm to look around--

- You did what?

So, you kept investigating after I told you not to.

- Maybe.

- I'm calling your mothers.

You'll be lucky to go to senior prom when I'm done with you.

- Knew it. There goes my video games.

- Dad, I swear, this is not like the butcher incident.

We have real proof now.

Gabe found his puppies' collars on the farm.

- She's right. We did.

- Carl?

- So, there is substantial proof?

- Yes, Dad. Gabe is out there keeping an eye on the situation.

- What? He's still at the farm?

- Uh, he stayed there.

Don't worry, he's not going to do anything risky.

- Well...

Hello there, young man.

- Phil, round up everyone you can. Let 'em know

we might have a situation. Call Judge Hines. Let him know

we're on the way. We're gonna need a warrant.

- Yes sir, I'm on it.

- This better be the real deal.

- It is, Dad, I promise.

- Let's go get 'em.

- Hello, officers. How might we help you today?

- Well, we have reason to believe abducted animals

are being kept here.

Warrant to search the premises.

- No problem. Mi casa es su casa.

- Why are they acting so friendly?

- Where is Gabe? He should have come out when he saw us coming.

- Dad, uh, I mean Chief Lanigan.

- What do you need?

- That barn is where we saw the cages.

- Officers. Thank you. Right this way.

And uh, here you go! Heh, heh.

- What?!

- That-that's not possible.

There were cages here and chemicals.

- Whoa, cages? Chemicals?

Ah, they were probably just confused. Kids,

they have such wild imaginations. Right, Chief?

- Dad, I swear! - Enough!

- Nothing, Chief. Did a quick sweep but

I could take it down to the studs if need be.

- No, that won't be necessary.

- What about Gabe?

- Uh, who's Gabe?

- Gabe was supposed to be keeping an eye on this place.

They must have found him in his hiding spot

and got rid of all the evidence. I--

- Olivia, enough already.

Stop making false accusations.

- I'm sorry.

- Not a problem at all, young lady.

I know how kids can have a crazy imagination.

My brother Jerry is the same way.

Why don't we call your missing pal and that way

we can all make sure he's fine

and settle this once and for all.

- Go ahead, call him.

- You know what I told you, kid...

You play along and we'll play along.

- Hello?

- Gabe, where are you? Are you okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

It got cold so I, I went home.

And I have a lot of homework I've gotta do so--

- Wait, what? You have homework?

- I, I gotta go. Um, Chopper's hungry and I need to feed her.

See you at school tomorrow. Bye.

- You named your girl dog Chopper?

- It's a cool name, okay?

- Ugh.

- Dad-- - Just stop.

We all heard the phone call.

Gabe's fine.

- Sometimes she gets carried away and makes things up.

But I assure you, this will not happen again.

- Well, okay. Okay then.

- Olivia, I think you owe these men an apology.

Ma! Ma! They're gone!

- I don't like this, Kyle.

- Ah, cheer up, little brother.

You'll forget all about it when we're sitting in Hawai-i-i

sipping drinks with little umbrellas.

Hey Pat. Uh, boss. Yeah, it's me.

No, I'm not dumb. I know you need to start tonight.

But listen, we have a little problem here.

Yeah, we've got one of these nosy kids here named Gabe.

Well right, but I mean that's not what we signed up here for.

Okay, fine. Gimme a call when you're ready

and we'll bring him over.

- Hey, you've got butterscotch candies. I love those.

Can I have one?

- No.

- I'm really hungry.

- They're for the boss. What do you think this is?

Willy Wonka's factory?

Huh?

- But I'm really hungry.

- I'm getting really hungry.

We might have some leftover pasta if it'll shut you up.

Jerry, give him some pasta. Sorry, Ma, it's Jerry's fault.

You know it.

- I hate making pasta.

- Olivia, are you all right? Are you hurt?

- I'm fine, Mom.

- She was conducting an investigation. Again.

- I told you to stop filling her head with those fantasies.

- It's not a fantasy!

- Hey, don't talk back to your mother.

- Carl, I have had enough of this.

I asked you not to encourage her behavior,

but you wouldn't listen, and now do you see what happened?

I will not tolerate any more morning briefings in my house.

- You're right.

Maybe it's too much for a 13 year old.

When you get older, we can talk more about it.

- I am not a little kid anymore, Dad!

Ugh!! - Get back here, young lady!

- Give her a minute.

- So... what happened to the puppies?

- What... puppies?

- Oh, come on...

You guys are the criminal masterminds.

You already got away with it. I just wanna know

what happened to my dogs.

You know, the three babies that you took out of their playpen

in my backyard?

- Those were your puppies?

The three little fluffballs?

- Yeah. - They were so cute.

I just wanted to pet 'em.

- Are they uh...

are they being used for... experiments?

- Look, you'll just have to find out for yourself, all right?

Just eat your pasta.

- Come on, Gabe. Please pick up!

Come on, Gabe! Please pick up!

Your call has been forwarded

to an automatic voice message system.

- Chopper?

Hey, Chopper! Good girl. Hey, where's Gabe?

- I tried to call but your phone is off.

- My dad took it. What are you doing here?

- Chopper came to my window but Gabe's not around.

And he would never leave her alone.

Also, I tried calling him a million times.

His cell is switched off.

- I don't know what to do. I'm grounded indefinitely

and my parents are in the other room.

- I get it. Uh, my dad doesn't know I snuck out.

Look, I don't know what happened to those pets, okay.

All I know is that Gabe is in trouble

and we are the only two people who know it.

So, if the adults don't wanna listen, we have to help him.

Right?

You were there for me

when I didn't have anyone here.

And now Gabe needs us both.

If you can't do it, I get it, but I have to try.

Olivia?

- Sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound

of packing my bag.

- Uh, hey boss. Uh yeah, you ready?

Excellent. We're on the way.

Alrighty kid, time for a little ride.

- Um...

I have to use the bathroom. - Hold it.

- You want me to poop inside of your van

like the rest of these animals?

Okay, fine by me.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, geez kid, come on.

- What can I say? The Bolognese isn't agreeing with me.

- Keep an eye on him. Use the bathroom upstairs.

No funny business, kid.

- All right, here's the throne room.

Have at it. Just make it snappy, okay?

- Yeah. - Ah, ah, ah.

Look, I don't wanna be here anymore than you do

but Kyle told me I have to keep an eye on you so uh--

- Look, man. I mean, where am I gonna go? And believe me,

you do not wanna see what's about to happen in here.

- Oh, uh, you have a point there.

Okay, fine. But no locking the door.

- Mm-hmm. - Okay?

- Yeah.

- All right.

Oh.

Ah!

Oh, I swear after this I'm becoming a vegetarian.

Take it easy in there.

- Oh, were there beans in that Bolognese?

Ah!

- Oh!

- So, where do we start? Gabe could be anywhere by now.

- We start at the last place we saw him.

- The bike. Gabe's bike.

We can check where he left it.

If he really went home on his own,

he would have taken it with him.

- Great idea. Let's see if it's still there.

- Come on, girl.

- You done in there, kid?

Hey, kid!

All right, I don't wanna do this but I'm coming in.

Prepare yourself. One, two,

three.

There's no poop in here.

Oh no. Oh!

No, no, no. Kyle's gonna kill me.

- Oh. Uh... oh.

- Dunder-headed lummox! If that kids goes to the cops,

we're cooked! - Ah!

- Hurry up!

- Oh. Ooh!

Street smarts.

- Well, we know he didn't go home.

- What do we do now?

- Let's stash the bikes and go back to the barn.

Maybe we'll find a clue.

- Come on, Chopper.

- Come on.

- Chopper! Chopper!

- You should not have let him go to the toilet.

- Me? You're the one who told me to let him go to the toilet.

- I didn't want him pooping all over the van.

- I don't want him popping all over the car either

but it doesn't mean that I'm expecting him

to jump out the freaking window.

- Well, that's your problem and you're explaining to the boss.

- Oh, no, no, no, no. This is not my fault

and not in the least. If you would just help me out

every once in a while in your miserable life,

this would never happen.

- Hey, watch it now. Careful.

Don't bite the fingers that feed you.

- The hand that feeds you, idiot.

Ah!

Don't you ever try to slap me again.

If you do... there will be consequences.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait, look over there!

It's the kid! It's the kid!

- The van is gone. Is that good for us or bad for us?

- Not sure.

- Chopper found something.

- She smells Gabe's scent.

Come on, Chopper, let's go find Gabe.

- Ah, all right. Now what are we gonna do?

- Quiet!

Gotcha!

- Ugh!

- They're still here. It probably means Gabe is too.

- Does it?

- Chopper seems to think so.

Come on, let's get outta here before we get caught.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait.

Tracking device. If the pets aren't here,

maybe the tracker will lead us to where they really are.

- You really are good with gadgets.

- Oh, one sec.

- This time, if there is evidence, it'll be recorded.

- Good idea.

Shush!

Here, go!

- Hey, it's us.

Hmm?

- You guys came back for me.

- Of course, man. You would have done the same for us.

- Yeah.

Come on, let's get outta here.

- Come on, girl.

- Did you see any of the missing pets?

- No. But they were about to take me to their boss.

That's where they're keeping all the animals.

- And my puppies.

- What boss?

- Not sure.

All I know is that it's a guy named Pat.

Oh, and it seems your dad was right

about the whole animal testing thing.

They're starting tonight.

- No way.

- Yeah. Oh, and guess what?

They knew we were on their tracks and snooping around.

- But how would they know?

- No clue.

- What else do you know?

- Nothing really.

Oh wait!

Their boss seems to really like butterscotch candies.

Like, he always twists the wrappers up into little knots

once he's done.

- Okay, let's get our bikes.

Jayden put a tracker on the van. We'll follow them to where

the missing pets are.

- Olivia? Jayden? Gabe?

- Mrs. Brown? Thank goodness you're here.

- Wh-what are you kids doing out here?

- Eh, you wouldn't believe it even if we told you.

- Get in the car. I'll drive you home.

Chopper, get in the back.

Jayden, can you check on the tracker?

- Already on it.

- What are you kids doing?

- It's a long story but in a nutshell,

we're chasing down two pet thieves.

- Yeah, we placed a tracker under their van.

- Actually, maybe you could help us follow them.

- We should call the police.

This sounds like a dangerous undertaking.

Does your dad know about this, Olivia?

- Hmm, no.

- I have located the van.

They're taking Highway 19 in the northern direction.

- Mrs. Brown, can you please take us there?

My puppies are in danger. Please, we need to hurry!

- Okay, we can follow them.

But we won't get ourselves into danger.

- Okay, we have to take the next exit east.

- Hey Jayden, did you happen to pack any drinks by any chance?

- No, sorry. I can offer you all kinds of electronic devices

but no drinks. Sorry, dude.

- I have water in the center console.

Olivia, would you mind passing one to Gabe?

- Sure.

Their boss seems to really like

butterscotch candies.

What else do you know?

All I know is that it's a guy named Pat.

- Patricia Brown.

- Oh, and guess what?

They knew we were on their tracks

and snooping around.

- But how would they know?

- Mrs. Brown knows your mom?

- Everything okay, Olivia?

- I'm fine, thank you.

- Can I borrow your cell for a sec?

I need to look something up.

- Sure, no problem.

- Olivia, dinner's ready. Olivia?

Your mom's gonna kill me.

- They've stopped in the middle of nowhere.

- How far away are they?

- About 15 miles.

- We'll be there in about 20 minutes.

- So, this is it? This is where you keep the stolen pets?

- I always knew you were smart, Olivia.

Apparently too smart for your own good.

I'm outside. I have the kids.

Outta the car. All of you.

Leave the dog inside.

- Ah, well, well, well. Looks like you didn't get away with it

after all, you little troublemaker.

- Yeah, no thanks to you, you loser.

- Hey.

- After you, kids. Hey, and no funny business.

My brother's tranquilizer gun, it's meant for animals

but I'm sure it'll work on you kids, too.

Entrez-vous. That's French for enter.

Will you come on?

- I'm try'na figure out how it works!

- You're never gonna figure it out

because you're looking at it like a moron.

- My babies.

- Should have known you two losers

were gonna mess things up. You imbeciles can't even handle

a harmless kid.

- I'm sorry, sis. Uh, boss. Boss.

- Don't wanna interrupt your little family reunion,

Mrs. Brown, but why are you doing this?

You are such a good teacher!

I always looked up to you!

- What do you know about life, you stupid little kid?

Honesty and justice are a myth.

Judging from the dumb look on your face,

I'd say you have no idea what I'm talking about.

I was a successful industrial chemist. Top of my field.

Everyone respected me.

I had a PhD and a yearly salary

your parents could only dream of.

Okay, I'm sorry, it's just, it's really hard for me

to imagine you as being a respectable person, Mrs. B.

- Ugh! It's Mrs. Brown, you little brat!

- Yeah, okay.

- What happened, Mrs. Brown?

- What happened is I played by the rules.

And I was punished for it.

Stupid me, huh?

One of my colleagues took all of my research data,

all of my work, and filed a patent under his name.

And my company let me go.

- But why all the animals?

- For science. And money, of course.

- Soon I'll have enough research data

to file new patents. My own patents.

Conveniently neglecting the mention of animal testing,

of course.

But enough of this. Tie them up!

- Uh... All right, fine.

- Wait until I tell my mom.

- We don't need to bring mothers into this, all right?

We just uh, wanna make sure that we don't mess up

the boss' plans.

- But don't worry, kids.

As soon as I have my research data and we've skipped town

tomorrow evening, we'll call the cops to get you outta here.

- Oh, there's no need.

They're already on their way, Mrs. Brown.

- What are you talkin' about?

- Tell 'em, Jayden.

- Your confession was just streamed online.

More importantly, the stream was forwarded to the police,

including the metadata with our exact location.

- Yeah, so in other words, you're finished.

Game over, man. You're done.

- Oh, well now, who's the imbecile now, big sis? Huh?

- Forget this altogether. I don't wanna go to jail

personally, and uh, as a matter of fact, I really was just

never into his whole thing in the first place.

I, I like pets. Especially the ugly ones.

Come on, let's go! - The money!

- They're bluffing, you idiots!

Stay here! - Yeah right. I'm outta here!

Ow! Ow!

- Ooh.

- I can't believe you.

- She got you.

- You think?

Okay... get me outta here. Get me outta here.

- What's the magic word?

- Uh, please! - Okay. Fireman's carry. Hop on.

- I told you to stay!

Ow!

- I think she shot you!

- Ah! Ah! Ya think?

- Here, I got you, bud.

- Circle, circle, remember, remember.

It's a circle technique. It's a circle technique.

Oh, my God. Oh!

- Well, that was your last shot, Ms. B.

Now what?

- You think you got me, huh? Well, think again!

You can't chase after me and save the pets.

Choose!

Wait...

- The cloud's going to fill the whole room.

- The puppies.

- Nice puppy.

Shh! Nice puppy.

- Don't worry, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you,

okay? Hang in there, okay?

Come on, please!

Just hang in there, okay? Hang in there. I got you!

- I'm sorry I took your puppies I'm sorry! Ah!

- Hang in there, please.

- Are you Patricia Brown?

- Yes.

- Kinda got yourself stuck in here, huh?

- Uh, yes.

- I'm Special Agent Brennan, FBI.

Um... you're under arrest.

- Ugh.

- Honey, you all right?

- Yeah, Dad.

- You had me worried.

- Yeah, you got the message.

- We did. We saw the whole stream.

- We did it, Dad. We saved them all!

- Yes, you did.

I'm sorry for doubting you, babe.

- It's okay. You were there for me. You always are.

- Thanks, Dad.

- Let's go home.

- Chopper!

Come here, girl. Hey.

- Just a sec.

- I told you we'd get your puppies back.

- Hey, Chopper.

- Special Agent Brennan.

- Hey kids.

Thought I told you to leave catching the bad guys to us?

- We tried. No one was listening.

- Well, I heard you. I did some digging.

We found a string of chemical thefts from Florida

up to south Georgia. And as soon as they cross state lines--

- Becomes an FBI problem.

- That's exactly right.

- You're good at catching criminals.

- You know what? So are you.

- Thanks.

- Oh! - Hands behind your back.

- Whoa!

- Hey...

...you know you two are wearing the exact same outfit?

- Whatever it is, I didn't do it.

- Ugh.

- Watch your head.

- Oh please, officer, I can't go to jail.

My mother is old and frail. I have to take care of her.

- Well, don't you worry about that.

My colleagues are picking her up as we speak.

Your mother will be joining you shortly.

- Bye, Ms. B!

And don't be late for school tomorrow.

- It's Mrs. Brown!!

- Bye, bye.

- No!

- And it is my extraordinary pleasure to present

the Clearwater Citizens Award for Outstanding Achievement

to Jayden Winfield, Gabriel Miller, and Olivia Lanigan.

- Due to their brave and selfless commitment,

26 abducted pets were saved.

Clearwater Police Department is proud to have

such courageous, young citizens in our community,

although a closer collaboration with official law enforcement

would be desirable in the future.
