[gasps] Wow!

-So pretty!
-Guys! Guys!

Take a picture of me by the door.

Brittany, we already took
a picture of you by the door.

No, that was the other side of the door.

[police sirens]

Oh, no!
What do you think happened?

Uh... I don't know.
I'm gonna go find out.

Wait! Wait, guys!
Just take one more picture.

[Miss Miller] Oh! Thank goodness
you got here! I have been robbed!

And this is the fourth time this month!

OK, ma'am, I'm gonna need you
to calm down, OK?

Bring it on down a notch.
Now, what's missin'?

Well, carpet cleaner.

Wait. OK. Hold on. Wait.

I'm sorry. You're telling me
out of everything here,

they decided to take
a bottle of carpet cleaner?

They took 100 bottles of carpet cleaner!

OK, I got you. You're one
of those people that stays up late

and buys everything you see.

Oh, my life just won't be complete

without 50 of the multicoloured
sunglasses that no one wants!

Is that right?
Did you buy those?

Yes, I did.
Just tell me you'll find them!

No, I'm not gonna tell you that,
'cause chances are

we're never gonna find it.
Look, I'll file it, OK?

That's the best I can do.

Hi, Miss Miller, I heard what happened.

I don't think that man
took me seriously.

Well, I totally do,
and you might not know this about me,

but I'm pretty much, like, a legit spy.

Come inside, sweetheart.

I have so much more that was stolen.

[Eleanor]
So, what are we looking at here?

Ten dozen leprechaun glasses...
Extreme.

-Uh, Wrinkle B-Gone, 500 pill...
-[buzzing]

I'm sorry, do you hear
that buzzing noise?

Yes! That reminds me.

They also stole ten boxes of these belts.

It buzzes every time
you stick your tummy out.

[buzzing]

It's a revolutionary way
to tighten your belly.

-And I also purchased...
-I think I've plenty to go on.

Well, I insist on paying you
for your time.

Ooh, take a pair of these glasses.

-No. Absolutely not.
-No, I insist!

Thank you!

[to herself] These are so lame.

[gasps]

"Back off if you know
what's good for you"?

-Whatcha doing?
-Aaah!

I'm trying to solve the mystery.

-You don't sneak up on people!
-Oh, a mystery?

Sounds mysterious!

Oh! Oh! Can I help?

Actually, I could totally
use an assistant.

And as payment for your time,
I can give you these.

[Theodore] What? Are you kidding?

Oh! These are the coolest
glasses ever! Thank you!

You are so welcome.

Now, let me bring you up to speed.

[Theodore] What would someone do

with 100 bottles of carpet cleaner?

[gasps] They would sell it!

Theodore, do a search
on all personal ads for carpet cleaner.

[Alvin] Are you kidding?
You're making a hoverboard?

Alvin, stay away.
This is a safety test.

Oh, well, safety first,
of course, of course,

but you also wanna make sure
it passes the weight requirement.

What? No, no.
Weight requirement?

Alvin, no, don't!

Alvin!

[gasps] Got it!

I found a person selling
boxes of carpet cleaner!

And there's an address
and everything!

Awesome! Let's go!

You're sure this is the right address?

-[Theodore] Positive.
-[Eleanor] OK, great!

Call the police and tell them we found
Miss Miller's Carpet Cleaner Culprit.

Um, hi, uh, hello.

-We are at 1705 Lilac Street.
-[gasps] Hang up the phone!

Sorry. Wrong number!

Come on.

[Officer Dangus]
OK. OK, I surrender.

All right, don't do anything
crazy... Boom, boom, boom!

Take that!

OK...

Weird.

-We should follow him tonight.
-Uh, well... I...

Theodore, what's that on your back?

"Stop now or else."

What?
OK, now we gotta follow him.

[Officer Dangus]
Hey, Tommy! Pull your pants up!

Miss Thompson doesn't want
to see your butt crack!

[radio]
Come in. Come in, Dangus.

-Dangus speaking.
-Gotta find the chief's dog.

The chief's dog is missing?
How does he keep getting loose?

OK, don't worry about it.
I'm on it. I'm on it. Fine.

[sirens blare out]

[Chipmunk song playing]

What the...

What are you two doing here?

Look! We know you took
Miss Miller's stuff!

And we know you're trying to stop us!

Uh... Gross.

Wait. You think I'm responsible
for stealing that stuff?

You two are so dumb.

That's not nice to call us dumb.

I don't care. It's not nice
to accuse people of stuff.

We know you have
the same carpet cleaner!

Yeah, my mom got those!

Her and Uncle Gary keep
buying stuff they don't need!

They stay up late and get
sucked into these commercials

and I'm stuck trying
to get rid of carpet cleaner!

Look, anyway, what are you even
doing trying to solve this case?

You're kids! Now go home!

Can... can we get a ride home?

You know, since we're kids...
and we can't drive...

and it's dark...

and we're dumb.

Please!

You want a little bit of cheese
with that whine?

No.

Ugh! Fine, let's go.

[radio] Officer Dangus, we have
a robbery at 700 Liberty Lane.

Did you hear that?

While you were tailing the wrong suspect
like two idiots,

Miss Miller's home was robbed again!

Hey! Look at me!

I ain't joking around, OK?

Ya'll better drop this case!
Ya hear me?

[together] Yes, sir.

Oh! They took 20 boxes of combing spray!

Hey! Miss Private Eye!
I can see you!

[school bell rings]

Dismissed.

[gasps] "Last warning"?

Oh! Eleanor! I got another note!

-[buzzing]
-[gasps] Shh! Wait,

I think I hear
Miss Miller's workout belt.

Yeah. I... I think I hear it too.

Theodore,
do you know what that means?

Well, we're both crazy?

No, it means
someone here is the burglar!

Quick, we gotta check
all the students before they leave!

Hey, Amber! Hey, wait up!

Hey... Hey, Derek!

-Can I get a hug?
-No.

Hey! Hi, Kevin.

Hug.

Hey, Cheesy. How ya doin'?

-[buzzing]
-Ha!

-Where did you get this belt?
-Oh, this old thing?

I think my mom got it for me
or something like that...

maybe... See ya later!

Theodore! Come on! Let's go!

[Cheesy] Please, stop.
Please stop chasing me!

Ow!

Look, Cheesy,

just tell us why you did it!

It wasn't my idea!
It's Old White!

That's the one behind everything!

Old White?

Old White? Who is that?

Old White is the most powerful
piece in the game!

Please, I already said too much!
Didn't you get any of my notes?

What... what did you just do?

I'm allergic to lint.

In ten seconds, my mouth
will close up. I won't be able to...

Uh-oh! Oh!

It's happening. It's happening.

OK, I'm not answering
any more questions.

You'll get nothing more...
[mumbles]

Oh! Poor Cheesy!

[Eleanor] He's faking it!

He's not allergic to lint!

Come, let's go to Miss Miller's house

and make sure nothing else gets stolen.

[sigh of relief]

No, Theodore.
We already went over this.

-You can't play that card.
-Why?

[gasps]

Theodore, come on!

I'm telling ya, I'm done!
I'm out of this!

Quitter!

[gasps]
Miss Croner's Old White?

[Eleanor] Wow!
This must be all Miss Miller's stuff.

But it looks like she's
sending them all somewhere else.

But why would she do that?

Aaah! It's Old White!

Ha! We know what you're up to,
Miss Croner,

and we will not let you get away with it!

Oh, yes, you will!

Miss Miller is spending
all her retirement money

on carpet cleaner
and stupid leprechaun glasses

and I won't let it continue!

I'm... I'm sorry. What?

You're...
you're helping Miss Miller?

Of course I am!

I knew it was
the wrong way to approach this,

but I've tried everything else!

I just wanted her to get a refund

for all this junk she keeps buying!

-You call this junk?
-Yeah, this is junk.

But, look, either way,
we've gotta tell Miss Miller.

So, look, at night
you're gonna put your phone,

the remote control
and your wallet in this lockbox.

And in the morning, voilà!
It will open up.

Oh, thank you, my little darlings!

And thank you, too.

[knock on door]

Evening, ma'am,
just wanted to inform you

that we solved the case.

Oh, you did?

Yes, ma'am.
Stay with me here, OK?

A Norwegian fellow has opened up
a Swiss carpet-cleaning shop

in Australia.
That's a different jurisdiction.

Australia is a different continent,
it turns out.

I didn't know that.

So you may as well consider
that equipment gone.

[Eleanor] Well, you're right.

Two dummies
couldn't have solved that mystery.

That's right.
That's why I wear the badge.

Boom. Dangus out.

Aaah! What was that?

What was that thing?
Is that a UFO?

Are we under attack?

Does anyone know?

Oh, sh**t, I pooped my pants!

[school bell rings]

Now, I want you all
to read chapter seven

and write another one-page
summary on it by tomorrow.

Hi... Hi, Miss Smith.

Alvin, did you do the assignment?

Oh... well... um... that... um...

It's a yes-or-no question, Alvin.
Did you even read?

Oh, oh! Yes, of course!

Oh, good.
Then what happens in the chapter?

Last night's chapter?
Well, you know, well, a lot.

You know, a lot happened.

No, no, not really.

No, no, it didn't,
if you look at it that way.

But what I meant was...

All right, get out of here, Alvin.

Don't you have detention?

Please, don't make me go again!

Well, maybe if you did
the assignments, Alvin,

I wouldn't have to make you go!

Ugh, fine.

Simon, can I see you
for a minute, please?

You must promise you will
not repeat this to anyone.

-OK.
-You know how to play the guitar, right?

It's not my specialty.

I'm really better on the piano,
or bass, you know, even...

Just the guitar! I just need
someone to show me how to play!

Please, only for this week!

The whole week?

I don't have time for one session,
let alone a week.

[Alvin] Simon, get your butt over here!

I'm gonna be late for the skatepark!

I... I mean, detention!

But, um... you know who would?

No. No... you... you don't mean...?

Yep.

That is a terrible idea!

Yes, I agree. I agree.
For once, we agree.

Hold on, guys, guys.
Just hold on a second.

Miss Smith, you need to learn guitar.

[sighs]

Alvin, you know guitar
and you're stuck in detention anyway.

-[Miss Smith] It's just a bad idea.
-Oh, no. Not working with Miss Smith.

[Simon] Guys! Guys! Focus! Focus!

You're wasting time!

Ugh! The two of you, honestly.

So, why do you have
to learn the guitar anyway?

You don't need to know.

Well, I hate to pull rank, Miss Smith,

but as your teacher, I do need to know.

Well, that won't happen.

All right, I see you'll be
a difficult student, Miss Smith.

So, as your teacher,
I want you to go to this website

and study the first lesson.

OK. Fine.

And I want...
I'm not done yet, Miss Smith.

And I want a one-page summary

as to why you want to play the guitar.

Alvin, drop it!

All right, fine, Miss Smith.
OK. I'll drop it.

[Alvin] I need you to find out

why Miss Smith is obsessed
with learning the guitar!

I can just tell she's hiding
something and, well,

you're perfect for the job!

-Well, what about me, Alvin?
-Oh! You can be my assistant!

Yes!

[clanging]

OK, hold on, hold on.

That is totally out of tune.

You didn't study, did you?

Uh, well, I, um... OK, so...

It's a yes-or-no question.
Did you even read it?

Yes, I did. Of course I read it.

I'm insulted you'd even ask me that.

Oh. Then what did it say?

Well, a lot. A lot happened.

Nope. It was just about tuning.

Oh, that's right.

That's right. That's right.
It was about tuning. I remember.

But... but what I meant was...

OK, stop, stop!

I can't listen. Rest your lips now, OK?

And, since you didn't do the reading,

let's just focus on four basic chords.

[Eleanor] Come on!

[Theodore] Oh...

[Eleanor] Yes!

It's open!

No! We can't just crawl in the window!

Eh... Yeah, we can.

We're detectives now,
on a quest for the truth.

The window, it's already open.

We're doing Miss Smith a favour
by closing it after we leave.

Oh! OK, but...

Ah! Ah! Now, just keep a lookout
while I go inside.

OK, so... so I see a bird...
a bird on a branch!

And... and a plane overhead!

Oh, and the newspaper boy,

but he's walking the other way.

OK, Theodore. It's fine. Shh. Stop.

[phone rings]

Hi, Bernie, it's your sister.

Did you see my picture
in the paper today?

Honestly, where am I going
to put all these awards?

Anyway, I'm calling about the party.

I'm preparing my artichoke dip
since everyone loves it so much.

But could you buy the chips?

I'm not gonna ask you to make anything,

as you're not a great cook,

so if you could pick up some
on your way to the party,

that would be great, OK?
Merci! Toodle-oo!

[clanging]

Miss Smith, you are k*lling me.

E minor is the easiest chord to play!

I said, "Don't strum so hard!"

No, no. E minor. No, no. That's an A.

We went over this!

You didn't practise!

C! C!

OK. OK, there... there we go.

That was awful!

Do it again.

And again.

Oh! Forget it! I can't do it!

Oh, you can't do it.

Oh, my goodness, I feel so bad for you.

Well, I say you can do it,
and I'm the teacher!

Well, maybe you shouldn't be!

-Fine!
-Fine!

h*, h*! Done!

Good!

That means it's back
to detention for you!

Yeah! Well, you know what?

I'd rather be in detention
than have to teach you!

[Chipmunk song playing]

[Eleanor] Oh! What's up?

We just solved
the mystery of Miss Smith! Bam!

OK, well, we can file that
under "Who cares?"

I'm not her teacher any more.

What? No!

You have to go back and help her!

OK, look. This is Clarissa,
Miss Smith's older sister.

Oh, right. Of course!

h*, h*, h*! The same stubborn,
beady-eyed stare!

The thing is, Clarissa is perfect.

She lives in a huge mansion
with her perfect family,

she's won all sorts of awards,

and she even invented, wait for it...

the bottle flip!

-No way!
-Yes way.

OK, but here's the thing.

So, they're throwing a 90th
birthday party for their mother

and Miss Smith just wants
to make her mom proud.

By playing the guitar!

Oh, Alvin, you have to help her!

[sighs]

I know about Clarissa, Miss Smith,

and, well, I want to help you

just be awesome for your mom's party.

Alvin, give it up.
I'm not cut out to play guitar.

No, no, no. You might be.
I've just been a lousy teacher.

Eh! You're just saying that.

No, no, I just forgot
how hard it is in the beginning.

Really?

Really.
Now, come on, let's do this.

OK, now this is C.

OK, not bad.
Now let's try finger picking.

[Clarissa] Bernie! It's good to see you.

Hello, Clarissa.

Tell me that's not a gift for Mommy?

It's a little late for her
to learn the guitar!

-No, I'm going to play it.
-You are playing the guitar?

Well, I see you haven't lost
your sense of humour!

Ha! You... you make me laugh!

[chuckles]

[flute and cello]

[sighs]
Why did I ever decide to do this?

I... I can't compete with that!

Miss Smith, listen to your teacher.
Just play what I taught you!

I'll make a fool out of myself
in front of everyone I know.

So what?
This isn't about playing great guitar.

Well, what's it about?
I can't even remember.

OK, snap out of it, Miss Smith.

It's about giving a gift to your mom!

Oh, yeah, yeah. All right.
You're right. You're right.

Oh, jeez...

Mommy, I wanted to give you
something from my heart.

I... I hope you like it.

♪ You... ♪

Oh, darn it!

Hold... hold on.

Mommy, hold on.

♪ You made me feel complete ♪

♪ No need to compete ♪

♪ For your love ♪

♪ And when Clarissa told me
that she was your favourite ♪

♪ And you didn't love me ♪

♪ So she packed my bags for Vegas ♪

♪ You said it wasn't so ♪

♪ Clarissa told a lie ♪

♪ You'd never let me go ♪

♪ And you loved me bigger than the sky ♪

♪ You taught me how to be ♪

♪ Comfortable with me ♪

I love you, Mommy!

[applause]

Very brave!

Oh! Oh, hey, Miss Smith.

Hey, so, I did the reading...

-Alvin...
-No, I did.

-Alvin, stop.
-Well, I mean, I read most of it.

But, you know, I was super busy

helping a certain student learn guitar.

Yeah, that I believe.
Just, uh, just turn it in tomorrow.

Miss Smith,
thanks for the professional courtesy.

It's not professional courtesy.

All right, all right.
The teacher-to-teacher privilege.

It's not that either.

Well, OK. I just mean,

you know, 'cause...
I'm a teacher, you're a teacher.

No, Alvin! I know what you mean.
Just stop talking, OK?

-Just stop!
-I'm just saying...

No! No! Stop!

-My only point is that...
-No. Stop.

-But you know what I...
-Stop.
