Oof! Aaah!
Alright, it's the Amazing Alvin
against the Incredible Theodore.
What?
Wait! Wait! Uh... Time.
I'm the Amazing Theodore.
You're the Incredible Alvin.
Ugh! You mean, the Incredibly annoyed Alvin? [gasps]
Oh no!
Huh! What is it?
It's the Principal!
Don't make a move.
As soon as she leaves, we'll get out of here.
Oh, hello Alvin and Theodore.
-Hi. -Agh!
Oh, I'm so sorry! You know, I wasn't...
I was, you know, roped into it, whatever it was,
and I... You know, I said: "No, no. Don't. I won't!"
The principal will be upset. I can't be a part of this. Abso--
Alvin, I am not here to punish you.
-Wh... What? -I'm looking for my cat, Beatrice.
[sighs] She's gone missing.
-Oh... -I'd love some help posting
signs around the neighbourhood if you wouldn't mind.
No problem! Theodore,
you need to help the Principal.
Well, that's the last one.
Do you think someone will find your cat?
I really hope so, Theodore.
I miss her so much.
"Dear Mrs. Principal,
I am so sorry your cat is lost."
Hum, that's not good.
What are you doing, Theodore?
I'm writing a note to the principal,
hoping she finds her cat. But I don't know
what to say exactly.
Oh, well that's very thoughtful.
If I were you, I'd just write something from the heart.
-[beeping] -Oh no. I'm late!
Hm... From the heart?
"Dear Mrs. Principal, my heart is really sad about your--
-[crack] -Oh nuts!
[♪♪♪]
Ah, Dave? Can I just give this
-to the Principal instead? -Huh? Uh, sure.
I gotta run, Theodore!
[♪♪♪]
Oh, Theodore,
it's so lovely and so sweet of you.
I know it's not the same as your cat,
but maybe she'll hear the song and come back.
I'll cherish this forever.

Now, you are absolutely certain, would bet your life on it
-that this music box was stolen? -Absolutely! I always keep it
in this drawer and I've looked everywhere!
-[gasps] -Okay now, is anything else missing?
Out of place? Askew? Lookin' weird to you?
-Not that I can tell. -Now that is strange, wouldn't you say?
Someone sneaks in here, he's all quiet, goes through all this work
just to take a music box?
Must be pretty valuable, I imagine.
No, not, no... No, but... Sentimental value.
Oh okay, sentimental value! Don't tell me your Nanna gave it to you?
-Well yes, she did. -Okay, now, serious question.
Should I call in a nationwide search,
or should the whole police force be enough?
I don't know that you need the whole police force, but thank you--
No, no, no! Mr. Seville. This is such a major case!
I mean, a missing music box!
POLICEMAN: I'm not gonna sleep until it's solved!
And when I catch this thief,
you can be absolutely certain that we will keep this criminal
in jail for the rest of his life!
Good day to you!
What?
Welcome to an all new episode of "Criminals On The Loose".
What follows is a tale of tragedy and betrayal.
HOST: A story of a boy turning against the family who loved him.
Stealing his great Nanna's music box
and paying the ultimate price!
Er... Excuse me, Sir,
but I... I believe that is... my mash?
Not anymore it is, twerp.
And if you say anything to the guard...
I'll eat you next! [evil laugh]
Help! Please! Help!
-[gasps] Theodore! Are you okay? -Um... No. Er... Yes, yes! Bye!
Okay, totally weird.
Music box? What a waste of my time.
Theodore?
"If found, please contact David Seville."
Dave? Have you seen Theodore?
No. No. Oh, Alvin!
You haven't seen a music box, have you?
It's just that it's missing and it meant a lot to me.
You know, it had this, you know, beautiful melody.
-♪ Dee dada dada dadam ♪ -[Alvin joins in]
Have you heard it before?
Oh, that? No. No. It's just a catchy little tune.
Um anyway, gotta run. Lots of homework!
[crunch, crunch]
Okay, Theodore come on! What's up?
THEODORE: And that's the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I... I don't want to go to prison Alvin.
But the policeman promised Dave he'd throw the thief in jail.
Alright, well... What we decide right now,
at this very moment,
is going to decide your fate forever!
So, you know... You gotta.. come up with the right thing.
-But you know, no pressure. -Oh. Maybe we should talk to Simon.
Oh, please. He's got no fresh ideas.
Oh, what about Jeanette?
Jeanette? Come on. This is way out of her league!
-Eleanor? -She might blab.
Oh. Then who?
I'll tell you who. Brittany!
You really think she'll help me? -Theodore, please.
When I ask, all I hear is...
BRITTANY: Absolutely not!
What? We're talking jail time here!
Theodore is not going to do well behind bars, Brittany.
Well, first of all, I don't believe Theodore took the music box.
I think you did! To score some points with the Principal.
-Well, that's where you're-- -Hop, hop, hop! I'm not finished.
That being said,
I don't want Dave to lose his grandmother's music box.
But the only way to get it back
is for you to tell the truth to the Principal.
Uh, really? Giving away stuff that's not yours?
Shame on you!
-Can I talk now? -Yes...
The truth never works.
And how would you know that?
Because I just told you the truth and you don't believe me.
Come on, Theodore. We've got a lot of work to do.

Hey! Hi... Hi, Dave.
Hey, guys. What are you doing?
What are we doing here, Dave? Oh, not much.
Just wracking our brains over this missing music box!
Any ideas on who might have taken it?
Not yet. But we're closing in on him, I can be sure of that.
But every true detective, like myself,
knows that you always start at the scene of the crime.
Shall we?
Alright, let's go over everything,
and I mean no detail is too small,
that you did on the day of the crime in question.
First of all, where were you sitting?
At my desk.
Alright, good. And can you please point out the desk in question?
Ugh! Right here.
Let the jury take note that the alleged victim
is seated at his desk.
Please, go on, Mr. Seville.
Well, I was going over some papers and--
And what papers were those, Mr. Seville?
Your report card. You got another D-.
Objection! Irrelevant!
Let's just stay with the facts of the case.
Look, Alvin. I was sitting here.
I remembered the music box. I went to look for it and it was gone.
Uh, huh. Very interesting.
Very interesting.
Will you please repeat
your exact actions that day for us now, Mr. Seville?
Er... My associate and I will need a brief recess.
Uh, but we'll get right back to you.
-You thief! -I have no idea what you're talking about.
[door opens]
Hi Alvin. Is everything alright?
Oh, yes. Yes, ma'am. Everything is... just wonderful!
Alvin, please tell Theodore once again how much I love the music box.
Oh, I sure will, thank you. Thank you!
Alright, now I know it's not perfect, Theodore,
but it's better than prison, so...
You're going to hide out in the forest
until we can get this thing all sorted out.
And I'm going to bring you food every day.
Bring cookies. Lots of them.
Okay, what's going on?
You know what, forget that, I... I don't want to know.
Maybe I should just tell the truth.
And go to the slammer? Come on, Theodore. Think clearly!
Oh, sure maybe you can get out in a few years on good behaviour.
-But do you want to risk that? -No!
Exactly. Now,
we'll sneak you out tonight when Simon's snoring.
No! Look!
ALVIN: [gasps]
What... What is she doing here?
Isn't it obvious? She wants to see you hauled away by the police!
-[doorbell rings] -Run, Theodore.
Run like you've never run before,
and don't look back!
Ah! Oof!
Oh no, what did Alvin do this time?
It's not Alvin.
You see, I saw your post on the internet and I think I have your music box.
-Great! -I don't want to go to jail!
-DAVE: Theodore! -Oh...
You're not going to jail.
I... I'm not? Really?
[meow]
-ALVIN: Hey look at that! It's your cat. -Oh my, Beatrice!
Well, ha, ha! Look at this!
I find a music box, and now I find the Principal's cat.
Wait a minute, wasn't there a reward for that?
Say, I don't know, like a day off from school, maybe two days?
I mean, who am I to tell you the value of your own cat!
Alvin!
Hey, guys, come on down here!
I've got some good news and bad news.
Are you sending us away to live with ogres?
What? That would be bad news.
No, Theodore.
I've decided to give myself a day to play golf
and you guys are getting a baby sitter. Sorry.
-Oh come on! -That's not fair!
Okay, so what's the good news?
Uh, I'm going to play golf.
Oh, you're gonna play some golf? Uh huh. Yeah, so,
what's the good news?
-[doorbell rings] -For us!
-Hi, you must be Mrs. Hibbert. -Oh hi... hang on.
Is that Alvin, Simon and Theodore?
Yeah, it is.
Oh no, no! No, no, no, no! Oh!
Anyone else feel slightly offended?
Well, there goes my day.
Oh, Dave, we don't need a baby sitter!
Dave, we're completely, like, almost grown up.
You know, we're very adult-ish. You know,
we're mature beyond our height. Come on, now!
Since when do we need a baby sitter?
Since I promised the neighbours I wouldn't leave you alone.
Since you broke the fire hydrant,
since you smashed three windows playing baseball,
since you flooded Mr. Tepper's yard. -But Dave, first of all,
those were all accidents. Alright, not really my fault.
So, it isn't something you can put under "you're responsible".
ALVIN: Because, you know, I couldn't be responsible
if I didn't intend to do it. It would be something that
happened, but it couldn't count against me--
And uh, Dave, let me point out
that all of those things, happened on your watch.
So, what are you saying?
Well, unless you put Alvin in a cage,
there's always a chance something will happen.
Yeah, like that cage thing is ever gonna happen.
Right, Dave? Right?
-ALVIN: Dave? Dave! Right? -Huh? Oh, of course not.
What if we promise not to leave the back yard?
Okay, look, I'm gonna go play golf,
and trust that everything's gonna be fine.
But, please don't make me regret this.
Dave, I want you to know I appreciate your trust.
[whispers] And don't worry. I'll keep a close eye on the two of them.
[sighs]
-So long, Dave! Have a great time. -Bye!
The point of the game is to hit the tree!
Yes! Oh my gosh, ladies and gentleman,
when you think he can't get any better, he pulls off the impossible!
[flute music]
Oh, Simon just barely sneaks one in there.
Clearly, he is no match for Alvin,
-who's on a bit of a-- -Yeah. Theodore? Your turn.
Oh, are you sure Dave's okay with this?
Theodore, we're playing Frisbee in our back yard.
Okay? This can't get any safer!
Well... okay.
[dramatic music]
Did... did I win?
But we promised Dave we wouldn't leave the yard.
Yes. Yes. That's true Theodore. But as you also recall,
we said that before you threw our Frisbee in Miss Croner's window. Okay?
That changes everything! Promises can't be kept
when there's a bad toss of a Frisbee. There's a whole rule about that!
I'll check the window.
Ho, ho! There it is!
Alright, guys. This is a simple surgical strike, alright?
We get in, get the disc and get out.
Alvin, you know, let's not do anything. Right now--
Alvin!
Oh, guys! Check this out!
Alvin! Quit fooling around!
Right. Right.
Guys! Guys! Help me turn this thing upright.
Oh...
Meow!
Nice kitty.
MISS CRONER: Where are my keys?
Miss Croner! Hide...
Oh, if she finds us, she'll tell Dave!
Theodore, get in the box!
Just a minute, please. I need to seal it up.
ALVIN: What's going on out there? I can't see!
SIMON: Well, I can't see either, because you're stepping on my head!
I've been selling all my old childhood toys.
POSTMAN: Oh that's nice.
-[shuts the door] -I never liked that boy,
he never listens to me.
[yawns] Now, what else can I sell?
[Miss Croner snores]
-ALVIN: Shh! You'll wake her up! -SIMON: Well, then stop talking!
ALVIN: Well, I'm not talking! I'm trying to save us!
Oof!
Oh! No!
Oh, uh, square?
No? Square cutesy face?
Smiley McSquare...
Jumpy box boy!
I was saying, where's the box that Theodore was in?
Okay, first, Simon, you are terrible at charades.
Okay, number two,
we don't have time for silly games when Theodore's missing!
-[car starts] -Ohhh, Alvin, look!
Huh? She mailed Theodore?

Oh, you are not easy to save, Theodore. Let me tell you.
-SIMON: Don't worry. You're safe now. -Woof, woof! Grrr!
Nooo!
Doggie! Doggie! Stop! Stop doggie!
Simon, what do we do?
-[Acute scream] -Woof, woof!
Theodore? Theodore?
ALVIN: Gnome!
-We got the wrong box! -We're just gonna have to tell
Dave the truth.
We were playing innocently in our back yard, just as we promised.
Theodore threw a Frisbee and we went to go and get it, you know,
as any kid would, still very much minding our own business.
And then, well, Theodore got mailed and--
Or we just go get the right box out of the truck.
Of course! Yes! Let's go!
Wait! Wait!
THEODORE: You're fine, Theodore. Don't worry, now.
You're in a nice warm box, safe from-- [screams]
Oh, where am I? Aaah!
Whoa!
-Help! -[bird caws]
-Aaah! -Humpf!
Hang on, Theodore!
-[bird caws] -Aaah! Oof!
Simon, up there! Theodore!
It's officer Dangus! Officer Dangus! Stop!
Guys, I'm on my break. What do you want?
Quick! Follow that box!
I'm sorry, what?
It's up in the air! Just drive!
Officer, our brother's in that box!
Whoa, whoa, wait! He's in the box? Up there?
Why didn't you say so? Oh my goodness!
-[tyres screech] -Left! Left! Go left!
-Oh! Oh! He just turned right! -Quick! Put your siren on!
Hey, do not tell me what to do!
I'mma put on the siren. But not ‘cause you told me to.
Because I want to! Because I want to, okay?
[siren wails]
We're losing him! Go faster!
Okay, this is an emergency, we need to call your father.
M-m-my father? W-w-why?
Uh, maybe because his son's flying away in a box!
I think he should know!
His son? Oh, No! No! Where did you get that idea?
What? He said your brother is in the box, no?
What? Is he not?
Oh, you thought, brother? No, grandmother.
No. No. It's my Grandmother's, you know, she has something,
very, it's a gift. That's what's in the box.
-I will not stop again! -[tyres screech]
Unless you really need me.
Then, just wave your hands about and I'll stop.
-Where's the box? -That way!
SIMON: Ah! Theodore! Here we come!
[bird caws]
Hi! What are you doing in the bushes?
I'm not really sure. Can you help me?
-Wanna play house? -I'm really tired.
Can you take me home?
Okay, but let's play house first. You can be my little sister.
Yeah, but can you just take me home?
Okay, but let's play house first!
Your name will be Sara the Beautiful and I'll be the princess.
Ah, fine.
Hi, well, hello. I'm Alvin. This is my brother, Simon.
We kind of need to get our brother from your box.
[bird squawks]
Oh, an autograph? Oh, sure--
Alvin. A bird doesn't want your autograph!
Will you let me handle this! There you go! Now...
[gasps] Where is he?
Alright. Alright. Well, what about this?
Uh Dave, hey, we were in the backyard, you know,
just catching up on some homework, when the funniest--
Stop! It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter, Alvin! Theodore is gone, okay?
We don't know where he is.
Dave's never gonna trust us again. And poor Theodore!
He must be half way across the world by now!
-[bicycle bell rings] -Was that Theodore?
Uh, little girl? Stop! Stop! Stop!
-Theodore, what happened to you? -Long story.
[gasps] It's Dave!
-[tyres screech] -Bye!
Well, it looks like you... Theodore what's with your hair?
-Uh, what? -Oh, that? Yeah,
that's left over. You know, we put on a play.
Who'd you do it for?
For ourselves, you know, because you weren't home.
You were out playing golf. Hope that really went well for you.
Meanwhile, there was no one for us to show our play to.
But, that didn't stop us, okay? ‘Cause we're performers.
That's how committed we were! How about that?
Oh, well, what was it about?
Uh, wha... what was... what?
It's the story of a little girl who is shipped off in a box
and carried away by a bird, and then she... hum...
gets lost.
Well, you know, we're just kind of working it all out right now,
you know, it's, you know... It's not, you know, great... yet.
Guys, come on. You're acting kinda weird.
You sure you're not hiding something?
Dave! What could we be hiding?
-Yeah. -Yeah, what could we be hiding?
Okay, well, I guess we won't be needing baby sitters anymore.
Whew, that was close.
Ow! What the--?
