Command Control, this is Sector 4. We've got a runner.

Advise all personnel. The State Prison is on full alert. The State Prison is on

full alert.

Cell Lock 8, secure. Cell Lock 8, secure. Cell Lock 8.

Wait, I'm holding it.

No, no.

Tower 4, do you have him on visual?

Story of my life.

Cold Blue! He's over the wall!

Timmy Taylor?

I don't see your homework assignment.

Well?

So there was Kato, and my homework clenched in his teeth, and I looked

just in time to watch him barbecue my book report. And I had him cornered in

kitchen. I was just about to grab him when he spit it down the disposal.

And then Kato snatched it off my desk, ran off to the backyard, and buried it

god only knows where.

I tried to stop him. I really did. Stop!

But I was just getting to the good part. I think I've heard enough. Thank you.

This is the third time in as many weeks that you've failed to complete an

assignment. Now, Timmy, I think you're a bright boy, and I have tried to be fair

with you. Yet you persist in these ridiculous excuses.

But, Ms.

Stevens... No more buts. You have a current event project due this Monday

counts for one -third of your grade.

Now, if you show up empty -handed...

This time, I have no choice but to fail you and to hold you over for... summer

school.

Too bad about summer school. I'll be thinking of you when I'm water skiing at

Camp Granada. Shut up. You still got till Monday. I told you not to call me

that. Besides... I bet he hasn't even started his carnivant yet.

Did you see Principal Ott back there?

He's really got it in for you.

Don't remind me.

Shoot, what time is it?

Hey,

son,

how was your day?

Fine, fine, can you go down? Wait, wait.

Get legs, get legs.

Yes, baby.

That's why Sandy gets the big bucks.

I'm going to get you for this, can't you hear me?

You better pray you ain't in your car in the bed, because if you don't...

He's telling me about this diet that he went on, and he thinks that maybe if I

went on it, I would probably... All units to 11.

Possible sighting of escaped convict Carl Banks.

Reported last seen on Linden Lane and 53rd. Be advised suspect may be armed

dangerous. Now!

Come on, let's go.

Forget the glasses, pretty boy. We gotta go.

Come to Papa.

Fish from dry pretty swings struck him out of the cubby's glues again.

So, how did your teacher take the news about your homework?

Not too well. It was all Cato's fault.

Timmy, you've got to stop blaming the dog.

But it really happened.

heard a word i've said excuses are like armpits everybody's got them and they

stink

Nice dog.

Did I say lousy? I mean sugar

boy, sweet boy.

I'm telling you, it was him, all right?

Yeah, he ran off as soon as he saw us.

I don't, I have no idea. I haven't even seen, hold on.

Anything?

Listen, call the man, all right? Stole him, do whatever you have to do to keep

him there. I think this might be just the break that we needed, right?

Let's go.

Hey, did you remember to pick up my dress at the cleaners?

Your sister's wedding on Sunday. I'm sorry.

I'll pick it up tomorrow.

I promise.

Hi, sweetie. How was school?

Not good. Don't ask.

I tried talking to him about responsibility.

Excuses are like armpits. Well, it makes the point.

He doesn't want to listen.

Well, honey, you've only heard it 17 ,000 times.

His father had warned him.

Good afternoon. I'm Sam Blanchard. Our top story today, a jailbreak. Last night

at the Anderson State Prison, Carl Banks disappeared over the South Wall just

after midnight.

The suspect is 45 years old, 6 feet tall, approximately 160 pounds. Banks,

may remember, was arrested for counterfeiting in 1996. Police are

,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

If you or someone you know thinks you may have seen this man... Dad, it's the

guy from... You want to get that?

Hey,

dude.

Hey. What's the matter?

I didn't bust you, did he? No, it's my dad. He's just like Miss Stevens. He

won't listen to me.

Well, I got just the thing to take your mind off.

Jamie Paulson's showing off nail polish down the street.

And I think it looks like rain, huh?

Come on, go!

Pretty colors.

This is cool.

Oh, I like that color.

Wow.

Red leader, are you in position?

Copy, blue leader. Ready and wait.

Hey, Stevie.

How come our clubhouse doesn't look that cool?

Well, helps when your mom's a graphic designer.

Helps when your mom's rich.

We go on my mark.

Jane Paulson, I own you.

Well, look at the cat dragon.

Smile for the camera, girls.

I'm your psychic. I'm your psycho.

Shut up.

Shut up.

You guys.

Shut that thing off.

I'll get down to business.

Delicate condition.

Hey, I can't help it, doofus. Bazooka butt, bazooka butt. Hey, I told you not

call me that.

Hey, hey, hey, guys, guys, come on.

Can we get down to new business?

If I don't come up with a current event, I'm history.

Cheer up, I'm sure you'll think of something.

Yeah, maybe that escaped prisoner will come to your house, take your whole

family hostage, and kill you in a violent bloodbath.

Hey, I saw that guy.

No way.

Everything, Sergeant Berger. Can I help you? Hello, please?

Let me speak to Detective Sergeant Nelson.

Sergeant Nelson, line four.

Detective Nelson?

Uh, yeah. I think I saw that prisoner you're looking for.

That's great, great, great.

Can you describe him?

Tall, white skin, bad complexion. Oh.

Overweight.

And he must be bald because he wears a really bad hairpiece. He wears a bad

hairpiece. Did I mention that he's really butt ugly?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he wears, like, this really fruity white mustache.

Uh -huh, fruity mustache.

What if he's dead? What if Kato killed him? So is he alive?

Shake him. I'm not shaking him. You shake him. What a couple of little

Buddy, you dork.

So I guess he's dead.

Help me turn him over.

That's him. That's the guy.

The criminal? Positive.

Calm down, TV. I have to get this on camera.

I saw this on X -Files. On X -Files?

He's alive.

Well, maybe Buddy should give him mouth to mouth.

Shut up. I got a better idea.

Oh, that stinks.

Oh, man.

What, do you got a demon in there? Gosh.

I better go get my dad.

Get down.

This is Taylor.

Tim Taylor, how many times do I have to tell you if the door is closed, you

knock? Sorry, Mom.

Where's Dad?

Your father is up there.

God, that tastes horrible.

Who the heck am I?

Why does my butt hurt?

Oh, shut up, you mangy ratbag.

Hey, Taylor, your mom's a babe. The next word will be your laugh, buddy.

Dad, Dad, you gotta come quick.

Ah!

Timmy, what are you doing? Dad, we got the bad guy.

What?

What are you talking about? The guy from TV who escaped from jail. He's in the

treehouse. And we trapped him.

Boys, I am trying to exercise here. Daddy, you've got to believe me.

All right.

Let's go.

I can't just wait.

No.

Not again!

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming.

You know, I found a message on our answering machine from Principal Ott.

guys wouldn't know anything about a hallway prank, would you?

Well, you see, this ad will make up for everything else. Yeah, I know.

Timmy, I really don't have time for this. But he was just here, Dad.

Honest, Mr. Taylor. He was just here.

That does it. You don't do your homework.

You goof around in school.

But, Dad. And now you outright lie to me.

You are grounded.

Buddy, show him your tape.

Yeah, that's right, Mr. Taylor. Buddy videotaped him. Wait.

Is that Judy Robinson?

I had no idea she was in such great shape.

Son,

are your parents aware that you do this?

I'm not going to hit the record button.

Sorry.

Well,

what now?

Detective Sergeant Nelson speaking.

Detective Nelson, this is Timmy Taylor.

I'm sorry about the earlier call, but this time I... Taylor, you made your

prank phone call. I'm calling your father.

Making a bogus police report is against the law, son!

Kids will drive you crazy, I'll tell you what.

Meet my new current event.

Your what?

Come Monday, I'll wheel him into Miss Stevens' class and turn him in. Have you

blown a microchip? You can't keep him here for two whole days.

But he's right, for once. I mean, he's like a grown man, a killer maybe.

Count me out.

All right, so maybe you guys don't want a part of the reward.

What reward?

Think about it.

He's a fugitive from justice. He's got to be worth something.

What's the plan? I mean, what now?

I better go.

Meet me here at 8 a .m. sharp.

I wonder what old Ott the Snot will think of this.

We just need a little more time, that's all I'm asking.

Just a couple of days, that's all.

No, no, no, no. I know you're not Wells Fargo.

It's your... We'll have the money Sunday night. All of it, plus interest. You

have my word.

Hello?

What'd he say?

We have 48 hours.

You had better be right about Carl.

Trust me, it was him.

Well, you think he came back here for the plates? Why else would he come back

here? Yeah, but I don't understand.

How's finding Carl Banks going to solve our problems?

I mean, we owe 50 large to the Vegas syndicate.

Simple. We find Carl, we get the plates. We get the plates.

We print the money, then we pay off our gambling debts.

Yeah, like, they're not going to know that the money's bogus. Not a chance.

Those are the genuine article.

I boosted them out of the Denver Mint about five years ago.

After that, back in business.

First things first.

Find Carl Bank.

I'm Timmy.

I already know who you are.

Pleased to meet you, Timmy.

If you'll just untie me, I'll be on my way.

Sorry, but I can't do that.

I thought you might be hungry.

So how'd you get into my backyard?

Long story.

So you're a criminal, huh?

They say you're dangerous.

Well, don't believe everything you see on television.

Why are you doing this to me?

You know, technically, this is kidnap, and I could have you arrested.

Technically, you're right. But seeing as how you're an escaped convict... Whom

you are aiding and abetting. Not exactly, since I have every intention of

turning you over to the police.

It's just I have to wait a couple days.

Why? Because I have a current event project due on Monday.

You. Me?

Kid, I can't be your book report.

Book report?

You're the mother of all current events.

The only thing standing between me and summer school is you.

Timmy, bedtime.

We can talk more in the morning.

I better go inside before my mom gets mad.

I'm grounded because of you.

Hey, kid.

You don't know what you're getting yourself into here.

Oh, and just in case you have any thoughts of trying to escape in the

Kato, that's my dog.

Yeah, we already met.

He's quite vicious.

Night, Carl.

Jed, wait.

Good night, Carl.

Come on, sweetie. Light's out.

I was just, um, working on my current event.

Ooh.

You feeling all right?

Mm -hmm.

I'm just a little tired and lost.

Well, come on. Let's get complete.

Mom, you don't think I'm crazy, do you?

Well, you do have a very active imagination.

Of course I don't think you're crazy.

But I do want you to do well in school.

Thanks, Mom.

So I wasn't dreaming.

What's with the reinforcements?

That's Stevie, and that's Buddy.

I'm pleased to meet you.

Would you mind pointing that somewhere else?

Knock it off, Buddy.

Okay, look, enough of this nonsense.

Why don't you just let old Carl go, and I'll try to forget this unfortunate set

of circumstances.

No chance, slimeball.

At least not till after the trial.

Trial.

I'll rise with the Honorable Judge Frito.

This court is called to order. Bailiff, call the first case.

Court recognizes State versus Carl.

Yeah. What's your last name there, Sonny?

Prosecutor, you know the rules. No court TV.

Exception. This could be the next trial of the century.

This is ridiculous.

Defendant, we'll answer the question. What if I refuse?

Ow.

Ow!

You little... Banks. Carl Banks.

It says here that you're charged with two counts of attempted counterfeiting

escape from jail.

How do you plead?

Innocent. Well, guilty with a reasonable doubt.

Your Honor, my defendant wishes to plead reasonably innocent.

Very well. The state may proceed.

Where were you Tuesday, March 4th?

How the heck should I know? You lie!

Objection! He's badgering my client! Chill out, buddy. I mean... Prosecutor,

answer the question, defendant.

I was at a restaurant called Benny's.

Benny's? Yeah. It's like a Denny's, only for wise guys.

Permission to cross -examine, Your Honor. Permission granted, but with very

little latitude. Thank you, Your Honor.

So, Mr.

Banks, what did you have for dinner that night?

You kids are crazy. I'm not saying another word.

How old are you, kid? Ten. Well, if you want to live to be a nice, ripe eleven,

you will stop jerking my shorts.

Answer the question.

Pizza, I think.

Your Honor,

defense wishes to plead innocent on account of the pizza defense.

The pizza defense.

Well, you were temporarily insane on account of the pizza affecting your

Objection!

Objection!

Counsel, approach the bench.

passes judgment, will the defendant tell the court who lives at 4521 Linden

Lane?

It was in your pocket.

Isn't that the old Johnson place?

Yeah, isn't that where all those kids were trapped in the fire?

Yeah. Yeah, that's the place.

So answer the question. Who lives there now?

The guys I used to work for.

It was the headquarters for their counterfeiting ring. But you kids stay

from there, you hear me? What else?

That's it. I'm not saying another word.

Hey, where's my plate?

Uh, the court requests a recess to further investigate the matter.

What have you done with my plate?

The court temporarily sentences the defendant to the penalty box.

Penalty box?

My parents went to get groceries. That gives us a couple of hours.

Stevie and I will go pay a visit to the old Johnson house. Buddy, you stand

guard.

That was Ocean with I Still Love You on Joe Willie Boss Sound of the 70s. Here's

another little did sure to please all you Frank McDonough fans.

You like music, Carl?

I do.

Especially the oldies.

You know why?

It tickles my funny bone.

You got a funny bone, Carl?

I bet you do.

You see, it's just a matter of finding it.

in jail. Had to be better than bummer school.

If you ain't got a bad feeling about this, come back.

What do you have such a hurry for?

Doesn't look like anybody's home.

All right.

But if we get killed, I'm telling everybody.

You're...

Let's go.

Cool!

Think this is where Carl does his counterfeiting?

More like where he goes to dispose of the body.

What body?

And hey, aren't you supposed to be defending him?

Oh yeah.

I know a guy who's just so much fun. He actually peed in her pants.

How about that?

How about you, Carl? Your bladder must be overloaded by now.

You must really have to go.

You haven't gone to the bathroom in a really long time.

How about this one, Carl?

Peeled from the urinal by IP standing?

I just crack myself up sometimes.

You know, kid, you don't have both oars in the water.

Uh -oh.

You know, kid, your parents ought to get you into therapy real soon.

Where's my plate?

You know what?

I heard about a guy in a joint one time and they pulled his underwear clean.

What do you think about that?

What? You don't scare me. Oh, yeah?

How do you like the name Buddy Knife Bakers, huh?

What? He put it in his room.

Good, good.

Sit.

Here, Poochie.

Got something for you.

Hot dog.

Please. You want another one? Let me go.

There you go.

Too bad I don't have any lack to this.

Yeah. Enough, Emmy.

Emmy, I'm scared.

Yeah, me too.

Quick, let's get out of here.

There's no time.

All right, now we've got a lot of work to do. We've got to move.

Stop.

All right, you kids, what are you guys up to? Nothing, nothing.

We weren't snooping or spying or breaking or entering.

We were just, um, lost our football.

Detective, sir?

Yeah? So where's the football?

It's not in the back room.

He means it's not in the backyard.

I mean, we checked in the backyard, but it wasn't there, so it must be next

door. Can we go now?

I think we better go inside and call your parents.

Hey!

Come on, quit goofing off, partner.

Come on!

All right, you kids, get out of here.

Don't let me catch you here again.

Tailors, up and at them.

Got trees to trim, grass to mow, edges to shear.

Play dirt.

I'm still waiting.

I'm still waiting.

Well, I'm just going to get started on my own, that's all.

Um, we're not feeling well today.

Could you come back tomorrow?

Nope. Nana, no can do.

I'll double your pay.

Can't be bought, Taylor.

Time is grass, and grass is the only green I need.

I'll triple it.

In advance?

Just a minute.

I'll be right back.

They say inside of every girl, it's like the precious shining pearl.

Like a flower that waits for spring.

Like that can mean everything.

She must be reading Glamour's name. Oh, the girl's a beauty queen.

She's a flame girl.

But she chop, chop, chops not good.

She's a flame girl.

It's amazing such a looker was the way she was before.

And all this time I took her for the plain old girl next door.

She must be reading glamour zines. Now this girl's a beauty

queen. She's a fine girl.

Let's go.

Sorry for the delay. How much do I owe you? Well, let's see. It's three times

40. Now, if I did 40 lawns in three minutes... No, no. If I

did three lawns in 40 minutes, math was never my strong suit.

Here, it's over $100. Just take it.

Now, can I interest you in some fertilizer?

Homemade, full of nitrates. Maybe some other time.

supposed to blow these leaves?

Our neighbors called and complained about the noise.

That's great. Then we have legal issues.

Maybe someone could know.

Jimmy! Jimmy! Help your mother with the groceries!

Hurry, Stevie!

My parents find out I'm gone, they'll grab me for life.

Jimmy, come

help

your father with the...

Groceries? What a mess!

Somebody get me out of here!

Somebody get me down on this herd!

Oh, what happened? Somebody help me out!

He got the drop on me. I wasn't going to talk, but there was torture involved.

One, two, three. Loud noises.

Dismembered. I told him about the plate.

You let him escape?

I'm dead.

So dead.

Tim Taylor, get your butt in here right now.

Young man, your room is filthy.

How do you think you're going to finish that current event in the middle of all

that mess?

Hey, I've got an idea for a current event.

Clean your room.

Goodbye Camp Granada.

And where are you wearing makeup?

Never mind.

Look, you've got to get me out of here before your parents find out.

So, at least they'll believe me. I can't believe you tried to escape.

I'm going to escape the prisoner. What do you expect?

Look, if your parents find out, they will have me arrested.

And if I am arrested, you can say goodbye to your current event.

You've got a point there.

Carl? He's upstairs in my bedroom. We gotta act fast!

I

got

it, honey.

Timmy can't play right now, buddy. He's got to clean his room. Did you know your

car has an oil leak?

Now, how did that happen?

Rick, I'm right in the... Timmy.

I just wanted to give you a hug and tell you what a great mom you are.

You still have to clean up your room.

Hey, and don't forget you've got your Aunt Rita's wedding tomorrow.

Sure, Mom.

Happy about it.

airplane glue or something?

How do I look?

Like a movie star.

Yeah, which one?

Ever since Nightmare on Elm Street?

Well, you kind of look like my dad's butt during the hemorrhoid relapse.

Ha ha.

Prison was easier than this.

You shouldn't have left, Carl.

Oh, sorry. I forgot to apologize.

Look, all you got to worry about is summer school.

Boo hoo hoo.

I got a lot more important things on my mind.

Like staying alive?

You have no idea who's after me.

Well, we got a pretty good idea. We checked out the old Johnson place. I

you kids to stay away from there. You could get hurt. Or, I know. We found

stuff. Some kind of printing device.

An empty ink drum.

Rolls of paper?

It doesn't prove anything, except that you are who you say you are. A no -good

counterfeiter. Look, do I look like a criminal mastermind?

For Pete's sake, I got caught by a couple of kids.

I'm a nobody. I'm just a pawn in their game.

What's the use?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

There were two guys there. We think they might have been cops.

They were cops.

Not the kind you want to run into.

They're the boss's partners.

He keeps them around to discourage the competition.

Look, you've got to let me go.

I can't do that, Carl.

Hey, I could pay you.

I could print up $10 ,000, $20 ,000, $100 ,000 if you want.

Isn't that against the law?

Yeah.

I forgot about that.

You gotta

come down sometime, guys.

And when you do, we'll be waiting.

What truck?

Who's out there?

Janie and Angela.

They live down the block.

Batman had the Joker?

We got Jamie and Angela.

Kato, you traitor!

Oh, come on. Don't tell me you're afraid of a couple of little girls.

We're not afraid of anyone.

Yeah, well, why don't you go down and fight them? Where I come from, we show

girls who's boss.

With what? All we got is balloons.

And the hose is down there.

If I help you get rid of the girls, will you let me go?

No deal.

Okay. Will you let me out of this thing?

Hey, look, where can I go? Your dog is still down there, right?

I can't go anywhere with him around.

What do you say?

No tricks?

Doubt's on her.

What do you have in mind?

Okay, look.

Get up out those comic books, heroes on TV.

Wanna see the baddest dude, then listen close to me.

I'm talking about my closet, just the coolest of the cool.

When it's time to party, girl, you know we make a rule.

You better just surrender.

You better call your mom.

For hiding down the cover.

You think we might be gone. Don't mess with us.

Don't stand in our way.

We're rolling like a thunderstorm.

Uh -oh.

We forgot rule 409.

What's rule 409?

No ice cream for buddies.

Why not?

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen.

Nobody knows.

Jail must have been pretty bad, huh, Carl?

Yeah.

Yeah, prison's a really lonely place.

Didn't you make any friends inside?

Can't trust anybody in prison.

You've always got to watch your back.

Good thing you're so tough, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm really tough.

What happened to you, Carl?

You remember the night the old Johnson place caught fire?

I was there.

I was one of the firemen.

Are you serious?

I remember that night like it was yesterday.

Smoke was as black and thick as coal.

Flames were lapping all around my heels.

My men and I heard screams from the second floor, so we ran upstairs.

The place was collapsing all around us.

I kicked in this bedroom door and I rushed in.

Yeah? And then?

Then the floor collapsed.

Next thing I know, I'm looking up from the kitchen floor down below.

I've got a blazing inferno all around me.

I couldn't move.

I've never been so scared in my whole life.

My men managed to get the kids to safety.

By the time they rescued me, I was crying like a baby.

I just lost my nerve, I guess.

But you were still a hero.

Yeah, some hero.

Anyway, I could never do that job after that, so... So I quit.

I had no job, no prospects.

Pretty soon my savings ran out. I got desperate.

So I...

I figured I'd try for one quick score, and that's when I fell in with a bad

bunch.

That's when I started, like... When you started making funny money.

There's nothing funny about it, Timmy.

It's downright mesmerizing.

Every time we ran out of money, we'd just print some more.

It was like having the world at your fingertips.

Anything you wanted.

Fancy cars, jewelry, champagne, women.

Let me tell you about the women.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, we were living a pretty grand lifestyle.

But we started getting careless.

And the feds started sniffing around.

And so my so -called partner set me up.

So what happened?

I got hauled off to jail by the same crooked cops I'd worked with.

But I outsmarted them.

Stole their money plates.

I hid them in the old Johnson place, which is where we were printing the

So you escaped to get the plates?

Yeah. I figured I'd print up enough money to get out of the country.

Before I could get the second plate, they caught me.

So I just took off running.

Next thing I know, I ended up here.

Some hero, huh?

Stupid's more like it.

I've got a plan to help you, Carl. But first, you've got to want to help

yourself.

I appreciate you kids wanting to help, but... I think it's best I just drop out

for a while. You know, disappear.

You can't just take the money and split.

Why not?

Because then you'll just be running away from your problems.

What happens when the money runs out the next time?

You could end up robbing banks or worse.

Don't you see, Carl? If you don't stop now, it's never going to end.

So what do I do?

Don't get mad, get even.

You've got to nail the guys that did this to you, and that's where we come

We'll break into the house, videotape their whole operation, then we'll grab

plates and set up a rendezvous with the bad guys.

Tell them you'll swap the plates for some traveling money.

We'll alert the real cops to be there at the exchange and bust the crooks once

and for all.

Okay, back when I got framed, this is where we, I mean the scum I work for,

Nick, the lazy in the head honcho, made phony money.

You see, first,

you need a print.

You put the ink on this, you put your plates in here.

So, that's when they planted the counterfeit bills on me.

That's how I got framed.

You see, that head guy, he's some big -wig public official, so it would have

been my word against his.

I guess that's about the size of it.

So what about the other plate?

Almost forgot.

Won't they be surprised?

They most certainly will.

Welcome back, Carl.

It's not.

I mean, Principal's not.

I mean... Timmy Taylor.

I am surprised.

You two know each other?

He's our principal.

They let you work with kids.

It's the perfect cover.

Who'd ever suspect a grade school principal of masterminding a counterfeit

Which I almost had to shut down, thanks to you. But that's all about to change,

if you'd be so kind as to hand over the other plate.

And I don't have it.

Searching.

My patience is wearing thin, Carl.

Okay, okay.

It's right, um, over there.

Get them!

No!

Wait, what about my camera?

Forget the camera.

Why shouldn't we think years without Christmas presents? Forget that. Just

on.

You're in a paper, dude.

Get him out of here. We got work to do. Come on.

Go as fast as I can.

Then step on it.

That was close.

You're telling me.

I thought we were close for sure.

Oh, yeah.

Like we aren't already?

Come Monday, Aunt wears my butt for a hat.

Now, who's going to believe us over him? Maybe the cops will. We tell them our

story and then... Then what?

Without the tape, they'll think we just made it up.

Would you guys stop and get serious for a second?

What about Carl? He's dead for certain.

That's all my fault. Me and my stupid plan.

Taylor, I know it's you.

What do you want?

You know what I want.

The plate for Carl.

You're in no position to bargain.

A summer school is the least of your problems. I can make life very

for you. What, you think you've had hard homework assignments?

I'll make sure you're old and gray before you ever step foot out of the

grade. I don't care.

No Carl, no deal.

Now you listen to me, you little... Okay.

Big Putt's miniature golf course.

Two o 'clock tomorrow by the ninth hole. Be there.

or you will never see your friend Carl again.

Well? Well?

We trade for Carl tomorrow afternoon.

Excellent.

Guys, where's the plate?

I didn't touch it. Don't look at me.

Went to the bathroom alone.

We can't let autism not get away with it.

What are we going to do now?

We're going to save Carl, bust up the counterfeiting ring. But first, we

Hi, Janie.

You look really lovely this morning, Janie.

Yeah, really lovely.

You too, Angela.

What are you doing here, Timmy Taylor?

Did you come over to apologize?

Absolutely. And to invite you girls over for some cake and ice cream sometime.

What do you want, Taylor?

Your mom's a graphic designer, isn't she? We need her to help us with...

not here today. She had to work.

What? In that case, there's still a couple of... My mom did show me how to

her computer and stuff.

Yeah, well, you know... I could maybe help you.

If they wanted to.

We could make a deal?

Article 5, paragraph B, page 12.

The party of the second, that's you boys, agreed to transfer all rights to

Friday nights at the Taylor Treehouse for the party of the first, that's me

Angela, for purposes of silver parties.

Enough already. Can we just sign?

Oh, there's one other thing.

I'm afraid that's a deal breaker.

Dude, come on.

Well, alright, but just one.

Let's rock.

On a secret strategy.

I know you've got a plan, boy.

But the plan just might be me.

I only need a little collaboration with my life.

I'll approach from the south to make the drop. Buddy, I want you to watch my

back and cover our blind spot, the windmill hole.

Stevie, I want you in position by hole nine.

When I give the signal to Buddy, he'll signal you likewise, then you call the

police. Got it? Got it.

All right.

Gentlemen, we have three hours.

Synchronize watches.

Is there no further questions?

There you are, son. Come on, it's time to get ready.

Ready for what? Your Aunt Rita's wedding. It's two o 'clock at the

But I already went to her last three weddings.

I've got to... To what?

To work on my current event.

And what is your current event, anyway?

My current event?

It's... I don't believe it. You don't have one, do you?

Well, it's too late now, anyway. You're going to the wedding. Now, hurry up.

What are we going to do?

Yeah, Timmy, what about the plan?

Just be there. I'll think of something.

If you get cold, I'll come back to your wrap. Okay.

All right.

You look so handsome.

You need to straighten that tie, sweetie. Well, I'm not sure if this

goes up or down, you know?

You're sick, you better...

Pray those kids show up with that plate.

She looks great, huh?

Friends, we are gathered here today.

That for a joyful occasion, the union of two people in holy matrimony, bonding

for life, sharing, admitting to each other, giving, maybe one more than the

other. Dad, I've got to go to the bathroom.

Did you hold it? I've been holding it.

All right, go.

Make it fast.

Bobby and Rita, recall the day you came to my office and we talked about

marriage.

You sure this is gonna work? Yes.

Read the program. Hold it in front of your face like this. Okay.

Stevie, you work on that. Come on. Alright.

What are you going to tell Vegas if these kids don't show?

Do you have it?

Where's Carl?

Give

me

the plate.

Carl first.

Same time

Hello,

police

I love it, I swear!

Take those little... Get them!

Did they call? Yes, they're on the way.

Let's separate.

No, it's too risky.

Don't argue.

Hey, look, I appreciate everything you've done, but get lost.

Go, go.

Hey,

fellas, come over here.

Now, man and wife.

Now, kiss the bride.

Timmy?

Then who?

Say your prayers, Carl.

Freeze! All of you! Hold on a second.

We're cops.

Oh, no, wait, wait, wait.

I'm just reaching for my badge.

Yeah.

Oh, he's clean.

We had to report somebody spotted him.

Well, I guess we must have got here just before you did.

He's a liar. Shut up, you.

You're coming with us.

Ask him why you're carrying a counterfeit plate in his pocket.

Telling you they're dirty. They're the ones you should be arresting.

We caught the suspect trying to print a phony bill.

Hey, why don't we all go downtown and we'll talk this over. Look, I can

Listen, you can tell me all about it down at the station.

Let's go.

Come on. Come on.

Let's go.

When we get out of here, you're going to wish you died a slow death.

All right.

I want you to come with me.

No, no, not you two.

Yeah.

We took a look around the old Johnson house, and just like you said, we found

this.

Now, that tape corroborates your story. And just as soon as we round up this odd

fellow, we can finally put a lid on this counterfeiting ring.

That's about time.

Now, here's the deal.

You agree to testify, turn state's evidence.

Now, in return, you can enter the witness protection program.

Who will suspend your sons to time served?

You, sir?

You'll be a free man.

So as I have clearly demonstrated, it is possible to clone a sheep in the

privacy of one's own bathtub.

On a personal note, I wouldn't recommend that you try it, because cloning can be

kind of stinky and, well, rather messy.

Thank you, Stevie. That was very informative.

Let's see. Who's next?

Timmy Taylor.

Aren't you forgetting something, Timmy?

Your current event, perhaps.

I don't have it.

You didn't complete the assignment.

No, I did. It's just that... Let me guess.

Your dog ate it. No.

Actually, Principal Ott did.

Well, he didn't eat it.

But he was the master of the counterfeit ring with Carl, the counterfeiter.

But he wasn't really a counterfeiter. He was actually a nice guy.

And I caught him. Carl Banks.

You know, the guy from TV. The guy who came from prison.

He was my current event. And he would have been here today except that

Ott caught him.

Maybe even killed him.

Enough of this nonsense.

Timmy, I'm afraid you leave me no choice but to give you an F and to make you

repeat the coursework during summer school.

Is there a Timmy Taylor here?

Where

it

is that you lost your current event project.

Well, boy.

I brought him back for you.

Here you go, kid.

And I didn't print that one.

Whoa, $50 ,000.

Hey, everybody.

If I get a story to tell you...

homework goes a long way. Ten -year -old Timmy Taylor came to the rescue of

local law enforcement agencies this morning in what police are calling a

sting. He helped them in blowing the lid off a major counterfeit ring.

After the arrest warrants were handed down, police later revealed that Banks

himself was instrumental in the sting and will now enter the witness

program.

Thank you.
