Austin & Ally (2011–2016): Season 1, Episode 13 - Burglaries & Boobytraps - full transcript
A wave of burglaries has hit the Mall of Miami, but Ally thinks she has a foolproof plan to catch the thief. Due to footage from a security cam, the greed of Trish, and an overall rush to judgment, many of the other store owners suspect the thief may be Austin.
Subs created by: David Coleman.
Don't look now. It's that cute
girl from the bathing suit store.
I just said, "don't look now."
- When can I look?
- When she's not looking.
Now! Wait. No, not now.
Now! Wait. No, not now.
Now! Not now. Now! Not now.
Now! Not now. Now! Not now.
Ow, my neck.
Oh, forget it. It's not her.
It's that long-haired
guy from the surf shop.
Whoa! Bruno Mars is doing a surprise show
at the beach club in 10 minutes! Let's go!
Wait, don't you have
practice with Ally at 4:00?
- Oh, yeah.
- What time is it now?
- 4:30.
- Well, I'm already late.
We'll just work longer next time.
Uh, she won't be mad at me.
- I am so mad at him!
- What's wrong, honey?
Austin was supposed to
be here two hours ago!
And now I have to go to the
emergency Mall Association meeting.
Everyone's freaking out
about all the burglaries.
I know. Last week someone
stole a guitar pick.
I'm just sick about it!
We give those away for free.
Delivery for Lester Dawson.
Oh, me me me!
It's funny.
When the guy at the coffee shop
gives you coffee, he gets a tip.
And how heavy is
a cup of coffee?
Not as heavy as all
these boxes I carry.
You're right, it's not fair.
You should get a job
at the coffee shop.
What'd you get?
Something to help me
catch the mall thief...
A state-of-the-art
security camera.
State-of-the-art
in what century?
I'm gonna go set this up.
Would you please put that new
guitar over in the display case?
Guess who got a job
at The Yarn Barn?
I spent my first day knitting
this scarf instead of working.
That scarf would really
come in handy...
If we didn't live in Miami.
This is the third time
this week he's been late.
Maybe he had an emergency.
Hey guys, we just went
to an awesome concert!
At the emergency room?
No, at the beach!
I think I still have
some sand in my shoe.
That's a lot of sand.
I knew about the Bruno
Mars concert too,
but I didn't go because we made a
commitment to rehearse at 4:00.
You can't set a time
for creativity.
Yeah, you can. It was 4:00.
Well, I'm here now. We
can rehearse all night.
We can't. I have a meeting.
I'm tired of always doing
things on Austin time.
If you won't respect my time,
how can we be partners?
- I'm sorry, Ally.
- I gotta go.
Come on, Trish.
Austin, I'm so disappointed in...
In...
I... I'm leaving.
Hey, Austin. That
was a lot of sand.
I built a sand castle!
When the crowd wants more,
I bring on the thunder.
'Cause you've got my back,
and I'm not going under.
You're my point,
you're my guard.
You're the perfect chord.
And I see our names together
on every billboard.
We're headed for the top,
we've got it on lock.
We'll make 'em say "hey!"
And we'll keep rockin'.
Oh, there's no way I could
make it without ya.
Do it without ya,
be here without ya.
It's no fun when
you're doing it solo.
With you it's like, "whoa,".
Yeah, and I know.
I own this dream.
'Cause I got you with me.
There's no way I could
make it without ya.
Do it without ya,
be here without ya.
I feel bad about
always being late.
I wanna make it up to Ally.
Give her a gift! I
have just the thing!
An Abe Lincoln ice sculpture.
She does like honesty.
No. I gotta give her
something else.
I've got lots of ice
sculptures in here...
Statue of Liberty, Eiffel
Tower, The Grand Canyon...
Actually, never mind.
The Mall Association
meeting is now in session.
Man oh man, do I love gaveling!
Uh, does anyone have anything new to report
concerning the burglaries of the mall?
Um, yes, Pirate Frank. You
had your hook up first.
Arr... The scallywag stole me harpoon
off the wall of me fish fry.
Uh, y-you're not at work. You don't
have to talk in that weird voice.
What do ye mean?
I have something to say.
I don't want to make
waves or anything.
- But...
- What is it, Bill?
Actually, it's "Billl"
with three "L"s.
Anyway, someone "stol-lle"
my boogie board.
So not cool-ll.
Uh, "cool" only has one "L".
It's al-ll good, Al-lly.
Hey, what are we doing
about my guitar pick?!
I mean, this is an
outrage, people!
Order in the food court!
Order in the food court!
Be quiet!
Man, I love yelling.
As President of the
Mall Association,
I assure you we're doing the
best we can to catch the thief.
Well, your best
isn't good enough!
Dad?!
Sorry, honey. Love you.
Look, we filed the police report,
but what if there was a reward?
Every store in the mall can give free
stuff to whoever helps catch the thief.
Great idea! I'll give a year's
supply of food from me oyster bar.
- Yeah!
- I'll throw in a free surfboard.
- Yeah!
- I can give away free yarn.
Aw.
But I'm sure I'll get fired soon and
work at a store that has better stuff!
Yeah!
Great. Uh, one last thing...
I know this is kind of obvious,
but until the thief is caught,
the police suggested we shouldn't
leave our stores unattended.
Oh.
Thanks.
Ahem...
- Ahem...
- Here's a cough drop.
Thanks.
You don't think I overreacted about
Austin being late to practice, do you?
No. He was totally
disrespectful of your time.
He can't just do things
when he wants to.
Thanks, Trish. Oh, did you pass out those
reward fliers like I asked you to?
No, I didn't want to.
Trish?
Sorry, I was taking a nap.
It's this blanket I made.
It's so soft I just wanna curl up
and sleep every time I touch it.
I guess I'll finish putting up
these reward fliers myself.
You're pretty lucky.
It seems like you're the only store in
the mall who hasn't been robbed yet.
It's not luck, Trish.
I've been watching this
store like a hawk.
There's no way anyone's gonna
rob old "Hawkeye" Dawson.
Someone robbed me.
- What?
- The new guitar is gone!
Way to go, "Hawkeye."
Oh, your dad put up that
new security camera.
- Let's go check the footage.
- Oh!
We'll pull up the footage
from the last 24 hours.
Good idea.
Oh, there's someone!
We can just skip that.
This must be the thief!
- Austin?!
- No way!
- Trish.
- I'm telling you. It's the blanket.
Seriously, it's like
sleeping on a cloud.
Austin's the mall thief!
We have to turn him in.
There must be some explanation.
Austin may be late a lot,
but he doesn't steal.
The crime is on tape!
Well, there's two crimes.
His stealing and your dancing.
Hey.
Wait...
I know why you want
to turn him in.
You just want the rewards
from all the stores.
I am his manager and his friend.
Do you really think I'd sell him out
for a surfboard, and a tanning coupon,
and some sunglasses, and
a free massage chair,
and some jeans, and
a flat screen TV?
He's my friend. He's my friend.
Look, I know Austin, and
there's no way he's a thief.
I'm gonna give him a
chance to explain himself.
A free trip to Hawaii?!
I can always make new friends.
I can always make new friends.
I can always make new friends.
Remember, you can't te
anybody about the guitar.
Your secret's safe with me.
- Austin, it's Ally.
- One second!
- Be cool.
- Got it. Cool.
So what's up?
Nothing.
Just wanted to talk.
Are you still mad
about me being late?
Why? Is there something else I
should be mad at you about?
No, just the late thing.
You got a lot of nice
instruments in here.
Get any new ones lately?
No.
Then what's this?!
That was my made bed.
Now I'm not gonna
get any allowance.
Thanks a lot.
Sorry.
You're sure you don't have
anything you wanna tell me?
Like uh, some big secret?
Uh, uh...
My middle name's Monica.
- What?
- Nothing!
Look, from now on whenever
you need me, I'm available.
- Just not right now. I'm not available.
- Wait. Hold on!
Trish!
Welcome to The Yarn Barn!
I just got back from Austin's
and he totally lied to my face!
I guess he really
is the mall thief.
Then don't you think it's your duty
as President of the Mall Association,
to turn over the security tape?
I guess so.
Good! I'm glad you
agree with me.
I already turned in the tapes.
Why would you do that?!
Two words...
"Re-wards."
Oh. Maybe he can
get out of this.
He won't go to jail unless they
actually catch him with the guitar.
- Hi, Ally.
- You're going to jail.
You have some nerve. Do you have any
idea what you've put us through?
We've had to sit through boring
mall meetings for you...
Collect rewards...
So you're returning the guitar because
you felt bad about stealing it?
I didn't steal it.
I just borrowed it to get it
autographed by Bruno Mars.
I know how much you love him and
I felt bad about being late.
Austin, that's incredible.
I would have given it to you earlier, but
I had to wait to get it autographed.
Thank you.
I wish I knew this before.
The Mall Association...
- Thinks you're the thief.
- What?!
Relax. I'll clear this up.
The employees of this
mall are some of the
most rational and
understanding people I know.
We want Austin!
We want Austin! We want Austin!
You better run.
We want Austin! We want Austin!
We want Austin! We want Austin!
Arr! Where be Austin Moon?
Guys, calm down. I mean,
seriously, pitchforks and torches?
We got them from the
pitchfork and torch store.
We want Austin!
- We want Austin!
- Dez!
We want Austin!
Why are you in the angry mob
that wants to arrest Austin?
I thought this was a happy mob
that wanted to hear Austin sing.
- Where be the mall thief?!
- Yeah!
Look, a-Austin's not the thief.
It was all a misunderstanding.
He borrowed the guitar to get
it autographed for me, see?
You're just covering for him
because he's your Matey!
- Yeah!
- No! No. It's the truth.
Austin's not the thief, I swear!
All he's ever stolen are
the hearts of his fans.
Did you hear her? He
steals people's hearts!
Yeah!
We should, like, totally
stop him before he, like,
robs another store
in the mal-ll!
Yeah!
We want Austin! We want Austin!
What'd I miss?
So how'd it go with the mob?
I told them the truth, but
they didn't believe me.
They still think
you're the mall thief.
Wait a minute, he's
not the thief?
Ah.
I never doubted you.
We need to clear your name.
All we need to do is find
the real thief... And fast.
Oh, but not too fast. I still
have to cash in some rewards.
Come on, I'm not gonna throw away a
coupon for free hair extensions.
Haw-haw-haw-haw!
Give me that!
Uh, can we just get back to
trying to find the thief?
Okay, here's what we know.
So far the thief has
stolen an air conditioner,
a boogie board, a
cowboy hat, some...
I got it!
He's a sweaty cowboy
who loves to surf!
Or he's a sweaty surfer
who likes to ride horses.
Either way he is sweaty.
Wait a minute! The thief is stealing
things in alphabetical order.
He's The Alphabet Bandit!
If anybody asks, I
came up with that.
Woo woo woo...
No one is gonna ask.
Okay, so what was the
last thing he stole?
An octopus from the pet shop.
That means he's up
to the letter "P."
Oh, no!
Oh, thank goodness.
My "P." you're still here.
We need to set a trap.
Oh, I've got it!
Can everyone be back at the
store tomorrow night at 9:00?
- Yeah. Sure.
- I'll be here.
That means 9:00 real time,
not 9:00 Austin time.
Hey, that was the old me.
I promise I'll be here on time.
Okay, here's the plan.
We'll advertise a sale for
everything that starts with "P":
Piccolos, pianos, pan flutes.
The thief won't be able to
resist and we'll catch him.
It'll be the last
"P" he ever takes.
Very mature.
Okay, it is kind of funny.
Where is he? It's 9:30.
I can't believe
Austin is late again.
He promised!
A little help?
Here we are trying to clear his name
and, he doesn't even show up to help?
What is his problem?
I've got a problem... You're
talking and I'm working!
Oh sorry, Trish.
Where did you get this
giant bird cage, Dez?
I used to have a pet ostrich
until it ran away...
At 60.6 miles per hour.
I hope this works.
Oh, it will. The thief's gonna come
in, see the piccolo, trip the wire,
and get trapped in the cage.
Can I get a what-what?
- What?
- What?
I still think this
trap is better.
A giant glue mouse trap?
No, a giant glue people trap.
It's the more humane way
to capture a human.
Is that pizza?
Yeah, it's delicious.
And it starts with
the letter "P."
Nobody would be dumb enough to step on a
glue trap for a plain old slice of pizza.
Oh, you're right.
I better put some
parmesan cheese on it.
Dez, no!
Well...
I was wrong. Someone
is dumb enough.
Oh uh, Trish, throw
him your hair.
We'll pull him out.
All right, ready?
One...
Two...
Three!
That did not go as planned.
Dez, help us!
Dez, come on. We need your help!
Just try your best!
It's the thief!
- My plan is working!
- What?!
Sort of.
Hey, ski mask guy,
can you help us?
Can't. Too busy stealing stuff.
I would take that pizza, but
there's no parmesan on it.
- So I guess I'll just take the piano.
- Not my piano!
No no no no no no no no no.
No no no! I am begging you!
- Mister, please!
- The other way.
Turn around! Okay okay.
We're almost gonna catch you.
Just slow down a little.
Did you get him?
Did you get him?
Ha, gotcha!
Wait, you're the delivery guy.
You're the thief?! Why did
you steal all this stuff?
Because nobody in
the mall tips me.
I should've gotten a job
at the coffee shop.
- Austin?
- I caught the thief.
It's the delivery guy!
How did you get him?
Where were you?
I was hiding in the piano.
I got to the store super early because
I promised you I wouldn't be late.
Wait a minute, you weren't late?
Told you, Trish.
Why didn't you come out
of the piano earlier?
I was setting up a trap using your
blanket to muffle the piano strings,
but the second my face hit this
blanket, I was out like a light.
I know, right?
I'm just glad we caught
The Alphabet Bandit.
Now all we need to do is
get out of this cage,
clear your name with the Mall Association
and get a giant bucket of glue remover.
Glue remover? What for?
Hey, guys.
What did I miss?
Here, Ally, I want you
to have this calendar.
It has all the dates I'm
available to work with you.
But it's blank.
Yeah. You fill in the dates
and whenever you need me...
I'm there.
No more Austin time. From now
on, it's Austin and Ally time.
Thank you, Austin.
Uh, how's today at 4:00?
Sorry, today's no good.
Kidding! I'm kidding!
Since all four of us
helped catch the thief,
Trish is gonna share the rewards with us.
Isn't she nice?
Okay, let's see...
Ally, you take this
really cool pen.
I'll take this flat screen TV.
Dez, you take this candle.
I'll take this laptop.
Austin, you take this key chain.
And I guess I'll take
this trip to Hawaii.
Aloha.
I got a candle!
Don't look now. It's that cute
girl from the bathing suit store.
I just said, "don't look now."
- When can I look?
- When she's not looking.
Now! Wait. No, not now.
Now! Wait. No, not now.
Now! Not now. Now! Not now.
Now! Not now. Now! Not now.
Ow, my neck.
Oh, forget it. It's not her.
It's that long-haired
guy from the surf shop.
Whoa! Bruno Mars is doing a surprise show
at the beach club in 10 minutes! Let's go!
Wait, don't you have
practice with Ally at 4:00?
- Oh, yeah.
- What time is it now?
- 4:30.
- Well, I'm already late.
We'll just work longer next time.
Uh, she won't be mad at me.
- I am so mad at him!
- What's wrong, honey?
Austin was supposed to
be here two hours ago!
And now I have to go to the
emergency Mall Association meeting.
Everyone's freaking out
about all the burglaries.
I know. Last week someone
stole a guitar pick.
I'm just sick about it!
We give those away for free.
Delivery for Lester Dawson.
Oh, me me me!
It's funny.
When the guy at the coffee shop
gives you coffee, he gets a tip.
And how heavy is
a cup of coffee?
Not as heavy as all
these boxes I carry.
You're right, it's not fair.
You should get a job
at the coffee shop.
What'd you get?
Something to help me
catch the mall thief...
A state-of-the-art
security camera.
State-of-the-art
in what century?
I'm gonna go set this up.
Would you please put that new
guitar over in the display case?
Guess who got a job
at The Yarn Barn?
I spent my first day knitting
this scarf instead of working.
That scarf would really
come in handy...
If we didn't live in Miami.
This is the third time
this week he's been late.
Maybe he had an emergency.
Hey guys, we just went
to an awesome concert!
At the emergency room?
No, at the beach!
I think I still have
some sand in my shoe.
That's a lot of sand.
I knew about the Bruno
Mars concert too,
but I didn't go because we made a
commitment to rehearse at 4:00.
You can't set a time
for creativity.
Yeah, you can. It was 4:00.
Well, I'm here now. We
can rehearse all night.
We can't. I have a meeting.
I'm tired of always doing
things on Austin time.
If you won't respect my time,
how can we be partners?
- I'm sorry, Ally.
- I gotta go.
Come on, Trish.
Austin, I'm so disappointed in...
In...
I... I'm leaving.
Hey, Austin. That
was a lot of sand.
I built a sand castle!
When the crowd wants more,
I bring on the thunder.
'Cause you've got my back,
and I'm not going under.
You're my point,
you're my guard.
You're the perfect chord.
And I see our names together
on every billboard.
We're headed for the top,
we've got it on lock.
We'll make 'em say "hey!"
And we'll keep rockin'.
Oh, there's no way I could
make it without ya.
Do it without ya,
be here without ya.
It's no fun when
you're doing it solo.
With you it's like, "whoa,".
Yeah, and I know.
I own this dream.
'Cause I got you with me.
There's no way I could
make it without ya.
Do it without ya,
be here without ya.
I feel bad about
always being late.
I wanna make it up to Ally.
Give her a gift! I
have just the thing!
An Abe Lincoln ice sculpture.
She does like honesty.
No. I gotta give her
something else.
I've got lots of ice
sculptures in here...
Statue of Liberty, Eiffel
Tower, The Grand Canyon...
Actually, never mind.
The Mall Association
meeting is now in session.
Man oh man, do I love gaveling!
Uh, does anyone have anything new to report
concerning the burglaries of the mall?
Um, yes, Pirate Frank. You
had your hook up first.
Arr... The scallywag stole me harpoon
off the wall of me fish fry.
Uh, y-you're not at work. You don't
have to talk in that weird voice.
What do ye mean?
I have something to say.
I don't want to make
waves or anything.
- But...
- What is it, Bill?
Actually, it's "Billl"
with three "L"s.
Anyway, someone "stol-lle"
my boogie board.
So not cool-ll.
Uh, "cool" only has one "L".
It's al-ll good, Al-lly.
Hey, what are we doing
about my guitar pick?!
I mean, this is an
outrage, people!
Order in the food court!
Order in the food court!
Be quiet!
Man, I love yelling.
As President of the
Mall Association,
I assure you we're doing the
best we can to catch the thief.
Well, your best
isn't good enough!
Dad?!
Sorry, honey. Love you.
Look, we filed the police report,
but what if there was a reward?
Every store in the mall can give free
stuff to whoever helps catch the thief.
Great idea! I'll give a year's
supply of food from me oyster bar.
- Yeah!
- I'll throw in a free surfboard.
- Yeah!
- I can give away free yarn.
Aw.
But I'm sure I'll get fired soon and
work at a store that has better stuff!
Yeah!
Great. Uh, one last thing...
I know this is kind of obvious,
but until the thief is caught,
the police suggested we shouldn't
leave our stores unattended.
Oh.
Thanks.
Ahem...
- Ahem...
- Here's a cough drop.
Thanks.
You don't think I overreacted about
Austin being late to practice, do you?
No. He was totally
disrespectful of your time.
He can't just do things
when he wants to.
Thanks, Trish. Oh, did you pass out those
reward fliers like I asked you to?
No, I didn't want to.
Trish?
Sorry, I was taking a nap.
It's this blanket I made.
It's so soft I just wanna curl up
and sleep every time I touch it.
I guess I'll finish putting up
these reward fliers myself.
You're pretty lucky.
It seems like you're the only store in
the mall who hasn't been robbed yet.
It's not luck, Trish.
I've been watching this
store like a hawk.
There's no way anyone's gonna
rob old "Hawkeye" Dawson.
Someone robbed me.
- What?
- The new guitar is gone!
Way to go, "Hawkeye."
Oh, your dad put up that
new security camera.
- Let's go check the footage.
- Oh!
We'll pull up the footage
from the last 24 hours.
Good idea.
Oh, there's someone!
We can just skip that.
This must be the thief!
- Austin?!
- No way!
- Trish.
- I'm telling you. It's the blanket.
Seriously, it's like
sleeping on a cloud.
Austin's the mall thief!
We have to turn him in.
There must be some explanation.
Austin may be late a lot,
but he doesn't steal.
The crime is on tape!
Well, there's two crimes.
His stealing and your dancing.
Hey.
Wait...
I know why you want
to turn him in.
You just want the rewards
from all the stores.
I am his manager and his friend.
Do you really think I'd sell him out
for a surfboard, and a tanning coupon,
and some sunglasses, and
a free massage chair,
and some jeans, and
a flat screen TV?
He's my friend. He's my friend.
Look, I know Austin, and
there's no way he's a thief.
I'm gonna give him a
chance to explain himself.
A free trip to Hawaii?!
I can always make new friends.
I can always make new friends.
I can always make new friends.
Remember, you can't te
anybody about the guitar.
Your secret's safe with me.
- Austin, it's Ally.
- One second!
- Be cool.
- Got it. Cool.
So what's up?
Nothing.
Just wanted to talk.
Are you still mad
about me being late?
Why? Is there something else I
should be mad at you about?
No, just the late thing.
You got a lot of nice
instruments in here.
Get any new ones lately?
No.
Then what's this?!
That was my made bed.
Now I'm not gonna
get any allowance.
Thanks a lot.
Sorry.
You're sure you don't have
anything you wanna tell me?
Like uh, some big secret?
Uh, uh...
My middle name's Monica.
- What?
- Nothing!
Look, from now on whenever
you need me, I'm available.
- Just not right now. I'm not available.
- Wait. Hold on!
Trish!
Welcome to The Yarn Barn!
I just got back from Austin's
and he totally lied to my face!
I guess he really
is the mall thief.
Then don't you think it's your duty
as President of the Mall Association,
to turn over the security tape?
I guess so.
Good! I'm glad you
agree with me.
I already turned in the tapes.
Why would you do that?!
Two words...
"Re-wards."
Oh. Maybe he can
get out of this.
He won't go to jail unless they
actually catch him with the guitar.
- Hi, Ally.
- You're going to jail.
You have some nerve. Do you have any
idea what you've put us through?
We've had to sit through boring
mall meetings for you...
Collect rewards...
So you're returning the guitar because
you felt bad about stealing it?
I didn't steal it.
I just borrowed it to get it
autographed by Bruno Mars.
I know how much you love him and
I felt bad about being late.
Austin, that's incredible.
I would have given it to you earlier, but
I had to wait to get it autographed.
Thank you.
I wish I knew this before.
The Mall Association...
- Thinks you're the thief.
- What?!
Relax. I'll clear this up.
The employees of this
mall are some of the
most rational and
understanding people I know.
We want Austin!
We want Austin! We want Austin!
You better run.
We want Austin! We want Austin!
We want Austin! We want Austin!
Arr! Where be Austin Moon?
Guys, calm down. I mean,
seriously, pitchforks and torches?
We got them from the
pitchfork and torch store.
We want Austin!
- We want Austin!
- Dez!
We want Austin!
Why are you in the angry mob
that wants to arrest Austin?
I thought this was a happy mob
that wanted to hear Austin sing.
- Where be the mall thief?!
- Yeah!
Look, a-Austin's not the thief.
It was all a misunderstanding.
He borrowed the guitar to get
it autographed for me, see?
You're just covering for him
because he's your Matey!
- Yeah!
- No! No. It's the truth.
Austin's not the thief, I swear!
All he's ever stolen are
the hearts of his fans.
Did you hear her? He
steals people's hearts!
Yeah!
We should, like, totally
stop him before he, like,
robs another store
in the mal-ll!
Yeah!
We want Austin! We want Austin!
What'd I miss?
So how'd it go with the mob?
I told them the truth, but
they didn't believe me.
They still think
you're the mall thief.
Wait a minute, he's
not the thief?
Ah.
I never doubted you.
We need to clear your name.
All we need to do is find
the real thief... And fast.
Oh, but not too fast. I still
have to cash in some rewards.
Come on, I'm not gonna throw away a
coupon for free hair extensions.
Haw-haw-haw-haw!
Give me that!
Uh, can we just get back to
trying to find the thief?
Okay, here's what we know.
So far the thief has
stolen an air conditioner,
a boogie board, a
cowboy hat, some...
I got it!
He's a sweaty cowboy
who loves to surf!
Or he's a sweaty surfer
who likes to ride horses.
Either way he is sweaty.
Wait a minute! The thief is stealing
things in alphabetical order.
He's The Alphabet Bandit!
If anybody asks, I
came up with that.
Woo woo woo...
No one is gonna ask.
Okay, so what was the
last thing he stole?
An octopus from the pet shop.
That means he's up
to the letter "P."
Oh, no!
Oh, thank goodness.
My "P." you're still here.
We need to set a trap.
Oh, I've got it!
Can everyone be back at the
store tomorrow night at 9:00?
- Yeah. Sure.
- I'll be here.
That means 9:00 real time,
not 9:00 Austin time.
Hey, that was the old me.
I promise I'll be here on time.
Okay, here's the plan.
We'll advertise a sale for
everything that starts with "P":
Piccolos, pianos, pan flutes.
The thief won't be able to
resist and we'll catch him.
It'll be the last
"P" he ever takes.
Very mature.
Okay, it is kind of funny.
Where is he? It's 9:30.
I can't believe
Austin is late again.
He promised!
A little help?
Here we are trying to clear his name
and, he doesn't even show up to help?
What is his problem?
I've got a problem... You're
talking and I'm working!
Oh sorry, Trish.
Where did you get this
giant bird cage, Dez?
I used to have a pet ostrich
until it ran away...
At 60.6 miles per hour.
I hope this works.
Oh, it will. The thief's gonna come
in, see the piccolo, trip the wire,
and get trapped in the cage.
Can I get a what-what?
- What?
- What?
I still think this
trap is better.
A giant glue mouse trap?
No, a giant glue people trap.
It's the more humane way
to capture a human.
Is that pizza?
Yeah, it's delicious.
And it starts with
the letter "P."
Nobody would be dumb enough to step on a
glue trap for a plain old slice of pizza.
Oh, you're right.
I better put some
parmesan cheese on it.
Dez, no!
Well...
I was wrong. Someone
is dumb enough.
Oh uh, Trish, throw
him your hair.
We'll pull him out.
All right, ready?
One...
Two...
Three!
That did not go as planned.
Dez, help us!
Dez, come on. We need your help!
Just try your best!
It's the thief!
- My plan is working!
- What?!
Sort of.
Hey, ski mask guy,
can you help us?
Can't. Too busy stealing stuff.
I would take that pizza, but
there's no parmesan on it.
- So I guess I'll just take the piano.
- Not my piano!
No no no no no no no no no.
No no no! I am begging you!
- Mister, please!
- The other way.
Turn around! Okay okay.
We're almost gonna catch you.
Just slow down a little.
Did you get him?
Did you get him?
Ha, gotcha!
Wait, you're the delivery guy.
You're the thief?! Why did
you steal all this stuff?
Because nobody in
the mall tips me.
I should've gotten a job
at the coffee shop.
- Austin?
- I caught the thief.
It's the delivery guy!
How did you get him?
Where were you?
I was hiding in the piano.
I got to the store super early because
I promised you I wouldn't be late.
Wait a minute, you weren't late?
Told you, Trish.
Why didn't you come out
of the piano earlier?
I was setting up a trap using your
blanket to muffle the piano strings,
but the second my face hit this
blanket, I was out like a light.
I know, right?
I'm just glad we caught
The Alphabet Bandit.
Now all we need to do is
get out of this cage,
clear your name with the Mall Association
and get a giant bucket of glue remover.
Glue remover? What for?
Hey, guys.
What did I miss?
Here, Ally, I want you
to have this calendar.
It has all the dates I'm
available to work with you.
But it's blank.
Yeah. You fill in the dates
and whenever you need me...
I'm there.
No more Austin time. From now
on, it's Austin and Ally time.
Thank you, Austin.
Uh, how's today at 4:00?
Sorry, today's no good.
Kidding! I'm kidding!
Since all four of us
helped catch the thief,
Trish is gonna share the rewards with us.
Isn't she nice?
Okay, let's see...
Ally, you take this
really cool pen.
I'll take this flat screen TV.
Dez, you take this candle.
I'll take this laptop.
Austin, you take this key chain.
And I guess I'll take
this trip to Hawaii.
Aloha.
I got a candle!
