Catch That Kid Page #5

Synopsis: This is the story of a twelve-year-old named Maddy. Maddy and her adventurous father have always shared a love for mountain climbing. Their hobby, however, has a disastrous effect when a devastating accident on Mount Everest injures his spine, paralyzing him forever--unless he gets a very expensive operation. Determined to procure the money to pay for his surgery, Maddy decides to recruit two of her friends, a computer genius and a mechanical whiz kid, to help her pull off a risky heist. They plan to break into the local super-high-tech bank, which holds a vault suspended 100 feet off the floor, and get to its safe. To complicate matters even further, Maddy's mother works as the security chief at that very bank. Regardless of what obstacles she faces, Maddy is determined to get to the funds her father needs, by using the amazing climbing skills he taught her.

What could it be?

What did you use?

- "Maxwell."

No! Oh, come on, Maddy! Think!

Come on, Maddy.

Come on.

Come on.

She made it.

She's in the safe.

It's not what you think.

We were just...

- Save it, doll-face.

- We were at the party...

Zip it,

or I'll zip it for you!

Well, young Chadley.

It looks like we've caught

our first little trespassers.

And since no one

is here to claim them...

then no one

will hear them scream!

First, we're gonna...

Where's my thingy?

- Lookin' for this, Lieutenant?

What are you gonna do, bro?

You just get that money

- What?

- Around your neck.

Oh.

Well, um...

Well, I guess

Oh, yeah?

You guys, we do not have time for this

right now. Come on. Let's go.

I am not goin' anywhere

until I find out why Gus has on my chain.

She played us.

That sucks, Maddy.

- Let's get outta here, man.

- Yeah. I'm right behind you.

It's just me and you, Max.

I think I'm low on gas.

You should have

enough to get back.

Love hurts, huh?

- You kids

in the carts, pull over now.

Pull over immediately.

Gus, I don't wanna be

a juvenile delinquent.

- Austin, pedal to the metal.

All units respond,

Car 22 in pursuit of

two go-carts fleeing the scene of a robbery.

Uh, it sounded like you said "go-carts."

- Gus, I am out of gas.

- I'm goin' down.

- Jump onto my cart.

What? Are you crazy?

Hurry up.

The cops are right behind us.

One, two...

- What happened to "three"?

Okay, buddy. Hang on.

Now turn! Look out for the truck.

I got it. I got it.

Gus, they're right behind us!

- Gus, look out for the curb!

- Oh, God.

- Yeah! They're stuck!

Twenty-two requesting backup.

Wait. We're gonna lose 'em. Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Come on, cart! Come on!

This is the L.A.P.D. You are surrounded.

Pull over your go-cart

immediately.

Oh, yeah! Now we have a spotlight.

You have left the scene of a crime.

Pull over your go-cart.

Gus, we're dead now.

We'll never get away in this thing.

I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.

Don't worry.

Chopper One splitting off.

- The helicopter's goin'away.

- Hey, what's he doin'?

Okay, Austin.

Now let's get rid of these two cops.

You're about to experience a hundred P.S.I.

Of pure NOS. Hold on!

Here they come.

Chopper One. We've got 'em.

The helicopter's back! We're trapped!

- Do not approach the helicopter.

- Gus, what are you doing?

- We have you surrounded.

- Maybe we should pull over.

- Stop your go-cart.

- We're goin' under.

- No! Don't go under!

- I'm gonna do it!

No!

- That was crazy.

- I know. It was close.

- I'm so good, I...

- Gus, look at the road!

Look out for this truck!

Gus, look!

- Duck!

- Whoo-hoo-hoo!

- Yeah!

- That is so...

- Oh!

Whew. Man, did you see that helicopter?

Oh, that was great.

- Do you think Maddy made it?

- Yeah.

Yeah. I'm sure she did.

I mean...

- Cops followed us. Right?

- Yeah. Yeah.

I'm sure she made it.

I'm sure you're right.

- We've got to go back, don't we?

- Yeah. Let's go get her.

- Okay, Austin. Jump on now.

Let's go. Let's get Maddy.

Duck!

- Faster! Faster!

- They'll never catch us, Austin.

All right, Max.

Almost there.

Only one more block.

- Uh-oh.

Two-seventy-two, I think we found 'em.

Okay.

Hold on, Maxie.

- Maddy, we're back!

- You guys, what are we gonna do? We'll never outrun these cops.

- I got it covered.

- Just don't fall behind me.

- Okay.

You kids in the carts, pull over now.

- Gus! They're getting closer!

- Not for long.

Here it goes:
Operation Jacks!

Yee-haw! I am a genius!

Car 14, we've been disabled

at the corner of Grand and Wilshire.

Thanks, guys. Now, keep up!

- We're right behind you, Maddy.

- Backup requested.

- Harderbach robbery suspects on the loose.

- Alan!

- I just heard. How much did they get away with?

- Who's this?

Uh, she's the head

of security.

Three suspects.

They got away on go-carts.

They hit you for $250,000.

- Go-carts?

- Yeah. We also found this in the vault room.

They used it to climb

up to the safe.

- Do you have the perpetrators in custody?

- Not yet.

What I want to know is, why would someone

break into a safe with $25 million...

and steal only $250,000?

Excuse me! There she is! She's our so-called
