Catch That Kid Page #2

that I work for the bank?

- But you're freelance, aren't you?

- Mm-hmm.

From a security company.

A security company which,

under your guidance...

has been unable

to provide my bank...

with a fully operational security system

in the allotted time...

stated in the contract.

Come on.

Come on, sweetie.

Don't you have a heart?

This is not an emotional issue,

Mrs. Phillips.

A bank has no heart.

Only paper in a vault.

Strange not being able to move.

I've been staring at the same spot

on the ceiling for the past three hours.

Mom can't come up

with the money, Dad.

I escaped death

on that climb, Maddy.

Twenty feet from the summit,

my gear stuck...

but there was this perfect crack

all the way up to the top.

You free-climbed it?

It was so easy,

I lost concentration and I fell.

But somebody or something was looking out

for me so I could go home...

see you, get to know

what a great girl you are.

In a way, that fall was the best thing

that could've happened to me.

You know

I'd do anything for you.

Dad, we'll come up with the money.

I promise.

And lined it

with a 200- foot-high steel chamber...

which houses

the Lion Safe.

The system combines

the best of new technology...

and old tried-and-true

security methods...

making Harderbach Financial

the most secure a bank can be.

The entire system is run

on a tri-motor generator...

making power loss

a virtual impossibility...

meaning the system will remain safe

even in the event of a citywide blackout.

The project began

in the fall of 2000...

and is the largest, most technologically

advanced security install to date...

for any bank

in North America.

The halls are lined with hundreds

of motion-sensitive cameras...

whose images are fed back

to a state-of- the- art security booth.

Until the system

has been fully tested...

the halls will be patrolled after hours

by highly trained attack dogs.

This all leads

to the Lion Safe.

The safe is suspended nearly

and is equipped to hold over $25 million

in cash and gold bullion.

Safety deposit boxes

line the walls of this chamber.

- Slated to be finished in April of 2004...

- Are you crazy?

We can't rob a bank.

We'll pay them back.

- How?

- I don't know. I'll work.

I'll do anything.

You understand what happens

if we get caught, right? We go to jail forever.

Like, until we're 21.

No one will ever suspect us.

Adults treat us like we're five years old anyway.

How hard could it be?

Tomorrow I'll go to work with my mom

and check out the bank.

Meanwhile, Gus, you need to find out

who the architect is of the bank...

and see if you can get

a floor plan or a model.

And Austin...

Austin'll take care of the dogs.

- What dogs?

- The Rottweilers.

Vicious killing dogs.

Gus, come on.

This is serious.

Tomorrow, at the bank, I'll try to check out

my mom's security system.

- Good morning. Who's in the car with you today?

- My daughter.

I'll take as many pictures as I can.

You guys,

I really need you.

All right. For Mr. P.

For your dad.

Okay, Maddy, here we go.

Maddy?

Do you have any idea how fast

you were goin'? Save it, pal.

License and registration.

That... is the eye

of God, Chad.

Do you see these people?

These are not people.

These are snakes in paradise,

waiting for your weakest moment...

any chance you give them.

These people?

Not to be trusted.

Oh.! My sweethearts.

Maddy, I love that you wanted to come

to work with me today, sweetheart...

but I have a lot of work to do,

so I need you to keep up.

- Can I see the safe?

- That's just the old safe.

- The real one's upstairs.

- What are those?

- That's a motion detector.

- Can I see the new safe?

And if Miss Fancy-pants Phillips

would have listened to me...

we wouldn't need all this

high-tech flim-flammery.

The dogs...

The dogs would have done

all the work.

The dogs and my black belt,

that is.

- Aaah!

Back to the monitor,

maggot!

Your office is upstairs?

Yeah. I need to be

near the safe.

Whoa. That thing

looks like it's alive.

It's got a built-in

motion detector...

The guards can't watch all 100 cameras

at the same time...

so when the camera picks up movement,

the light goes on and they can see us.

Watch.

Just stay completely still.

Ah. Climber girl.

- That's pretty cool.

They'd better fix the I.S.P., because

that whole side of the building is S.O.L.

- Molly?

- Oh.

I didn't think you were

coming in today.

The party is Friday, so I wanted to make sure

the system is as close as possible.

Yeah. Listen, I spoke with Brisbane

about the loan, and he just wouldn't budge.

- I'm really sorry.

- Oh, God. We'll have to figure out some other way.

- Would you like a tour?

- Oh, Alan, that's really...

- Yeah! That'd be awesome.

- Well, great.

We'll start this way.

Don't worry. I'll take good care of her.

Now, we're gonna begin...

I paid that phone bill.!

I paid that phone bill last week.!

Hi. My name's Austin...

Easy.

My name's Austin,

and, uh, I make movies. Director.

Really?

How may I help you?

I got this dog for my birthday, and I was

hoping I could use him as a stunt dog...

What kind of dog

do you have?

- A Budweiser?

- Rottweiler?

- Yeah.

- I just happen to be a Rottweiler expert.

There is a really nice

boy here...

who's going to write an essay

about the design of the...

Harderbach Financial building...

and he needs a floor plan drawing

that he can use...

as a visual aid

for his essay.

Are you freakin' nuts?

You can't give bank floor plans to a kid!

You're just...

Normally he's very nice.

But it's a little more difficult

with banks.

I mean, imagine if you were a bank robber...

It's just that last time

I got a "C" on my essay...

because I didn't have

any visual aids.

And my stepdad, he...

Well, he gets a little...

Oh!

Just stay here.

You can't see it now, but by the party

we are hoping it's primo.

Down here is the security room...

ultra high- tech and cool.

- Your mom designed that too.

Notice the key pads, which are designed to keep

people out of the important areas of the bank.

Who has the codes

to all these?

Oh, they're different

from room to room.

- But I have a code that is good for the whole building.

- Cool.

Come on.

"D-E-N-I-R-O."

- De Niro.

Oh, look at that view.

This is the coolest office

in the building.

It belongs to the big cheese,

Mr. Brisbane.

Check this out.

Huh?

Huh?

And get this.

Your mom has rigged it so you can control

all the cameras from right here.

You talkin' to me? Huh?

Are you talkin' to me?

It's De Niro.

I still do some acting.

This bank manager thing is just temporary.

Come on. You try it.

I don't know

what to say.

Say anything.

- Hi.

- Disgusting.

Good!

Haah.!

Ooh.

In this room there's a tunnel

that leads to the safe.

I can only tell you

a little bit about the safe.

Only your mom understands the whole thing.

After all, she designed it.

- Oh! No! My God!

I can't wait until we get rid of these things.
