03x01 - Crime Games

[bunniefuu]

Hey, mom.

Knitting isn't
so hard after all.

Not once you
get the hang of it.

George, can you try on the
sweater Judy's knitting for you?

'It's made with that new
unbreakable yarn.'

I can't stop, honey.
or I'll never finish.

It isn't fare of Mr. Spacely
to make you work on weekends.

[beeping]

(computerized vocalization)
'Congratulations,
your project is completed.'

Ah, finally.

(computerized vocalization)
Time for completion, 62 hours,
49 minutes, 12 seconds.

I sure wouldn't want
to do that again.

boing

thud

[beeping]

(computerized vocalization)
'Start over, tilt. Start over.'

You've gotta be kidding!

plop

[laughs]

Astro, I'm putting
your ball on a*t*matic.

'Go play by yourself.'

[upbeat music]

[growls]

Come back here.

swoosh

thud

This is probably gonna be
like one of those weekends.

Dad, they're showing the
episode of, "Hill Star Blues."

I can't, Elroy.

I'll be busy for
the next 62 hours

49 minutes
and 12 seconds.

You never spend time
with me anymore.

[police siren wailing]

"Hill Star Blues."

[wailing continues]

[growls]

tzzz tzzz

Hey.

What's the slow down?

If you wanna work for me
in crime, you gotta move fast.

Astro, I can't get,
"Hill Star Blues" back.

What crime show is this?

Don't worry, Gridfather.

I'll cr*ck the security code
at Cogswell Cogs any second now.

- That's for us?
- This is really happening.

zap

Got it, Gridfather.

We'll use laser sequence
47 sub zero minus 9XRP.

And that place will open up
for us like a rocket door.

Okay, Glitch.

Head back, while I figure out
when we clean out the cogs.

Dad, dad.

Some crook's gonna
rob Mr. Cogswell.

He's on my big
screen right now.

Elroy, I explained to you--

Take a look, George.
This could be important.

Well, just for a second.

And on your way
back here, pick me up..

[growls]

tzzz tzzz

It looks like your imagination
is working over time, Elroy.

That's just "Hill Star Blues."

I saw him, I tell ya.

The Gridfather's
got a laser code

that'll unlock
Mr. Cogswell's security system.

The Gridfather!

Elroy, he's the most wanted
criminal in the universe.

We have to
tell the police.

Maybe you should
take him, George.

Elroy could've seen
The Gridfather.

What?

And besides, it's a good
excuse for you two

to spend some time together.

Oh, oh, sure.

You're right, Jane.

Mr. Spacely's work
can wait for a while.

As long as he
doesn't find out.

[upbeat music]

Dad, there's a
police station.

We wanna report
a robbery.

Who, where, when?

Well, it hasn't
actually happened yet.

Are you some
kind of joker?

I saw The Gridfather
planning the whole thing.

The Gridfather?
When, where?

He was on my screen,
but I can't get him back.

Reporting a phony crime
is a real crime, pal.

You ought to be locked up?

False alarm, false alarm,
false alarm.

Oh Cosmo, he insists
on seeing you.

Jetson, it's the weekend.
Time to relax.

So why aren't
you home working?

Because Elroy is home and
he's very upset, Mr. Spacely.

He heard The Gridfather planning
to steal Mr. Cogswell's cogs

but the police
don't believe him.

The Gridfather's
gonna clean off Cogswell?

Aha. But if someone
like you reported it..

boing

Good man, Jetson.
Now, get back to work.

But aren't you going
to the police station?

Are you out
of your orbit?

You expect me to stop
a crime that's going to..

[laughs]

...ruin my biggest competitor?

slurp

So long, Jetson.
You've made my week end.

Too bad yours is so lousy.

swoosh

- George, I'm so proud of you.
- Me too.

Most men would've given up after
the police didn't believe them.

I bet Mr. Spacely called
the mayor personally, right?

Mr. Spacely
won't do anything.

Gosh! That means they're
gonna get away with it.

What do you expect
daddy to do?

Go directly to
Mr. Cogswell himself?

Judy, what a wonderful idea!

Huh?
Go to Mr. Cogswell?

I'd get fired faster
than a retro rocket.

You have to, dad.
Please.

You're right, Elroy.

Mr. Cogswell, and
unemployment, here I come.

swoosh

(male commentator)
'He's on the 20 yard line.'

'The ten, the five.
It's a spacedown.'

Yipee!
Go, team!

A Mr. Jetson insists
on seeing you, sir.

Mr. Cogswell,
I'm sorry to bother you

but maybe, just possibly,
you're gonna be robbed.

Yeah, team.
Go, go, go.

Speak up, man.
Speak up.

The Gridfather's gonna
steal all your cogs.

boing

What?

The Gridfather!
My cogs?

Call the police,
the army, the space patrol.

swoosh

So Jetson,
it's you.

Hurry, Mr. Cogswell.
There's no time to lose.

b*at it! Tell your boss his
trick to scare me, didn't work.

Did you see that pass by
that young kid from Saturn?

The crowd here
is going crazy.

Mr. Cogswell,
it's not a trick.

He said, "b*at it"
space head.

This is the game
of the decade.

You have to do something.

Ha-ha, it takes more than a
dumb story like that

to scare Spencer K. Cogswell.

Please, Mr. Cogswell.

That's it, space head.
Penalty.

[blows whistle]

swoosh

Yeow!

thud

Imagine, Spacely thinking
he can scare me that easily.

Huh!
But suppose it is the truth.

Hey, fella, you're missing
some championship profiles here.

(male #1)
What's up, boss?

Alan, have you
installed my new

back up security
system yet?

Almost done, boss.

I want it online now!

One way or another
I'll be ready for

any of your tricks,
Spacely.

boing

[bells ringing]

You believe me,
don't you, Astro?

I don't know.

(Elroy)
'I'll show you myself.'

With the Gridfather's code,
even my dinky home made laser

can open up
Mr. Cogswell's factory.

Come on.

Rosie, would you tell
Elroy dinner's ready?

He's bored, Mrs. J.

He took off in his skytrike
about half an hour ago.

But it's already dark.
George!

Don't worry, Jane.

Our new kid beacon will
tell us exactly where he is.

(computerized vocalization)
'Elroy is at coordinates A37.'

Heading South by South-West.

Estimated destination,
Cogswell Cosmic Cogs.

George, bring him back.

Elroy, I'm on my way.

swoosh

(male #2)
'Here's Cogswell's Cogs,
and nobody's around.'

After tonight anybody
who wants cogs

they have to come to me.

Boss, look.

(The Gridfather)
Huh!
What's that kid doing here?

I don't know,
but he's in the way.

I'll take care of him,
Gridfather.

We'll show them
I was right.

Right.

(George)
'Elroy.'

boing

What are you doing here?
Don't you know what time it is?

This is turning
into a convention.

This is how the crooks
are gonna break in.

tzzz tzzz

Okay, it's the only way
to prove you made a mistake.

Huh!

[door opens]

See.
I did here The Gridfather.

Elroy, come out of there.

Grab my cogs,
don't you dare.

'Grab my cogs,
don't you dare.'

Those amateurs
ruined our job.

But you know what?

I know how we can
use that skinny guy

to pull off the greatest
heist of them all. Let's scram.

(Jane)
'Thank goodness they let
Elroy and Astro go home.'

I sure hope I'm next.

Now, don't worry, dear.

I'm beginning to get
worried, Jane.

[upbeat music]

(computerized vocalization)
'Stand still for body print.'

splat

Ahem, George Jetson.

Do you admit you broke into
Cogswell's Cosmic Cogs?

Well, yes, your honor.
But I can explain.

Guilty of five thousand counts
of attempted cog napping

plus corrupting
a child and a dog.

It was a mistake.
I'm innocent.

Of course you are, dear

And we'll prove it too...
somehow.

swoosh

bam

Elroy, you just have to tune
in The Gridfather again.

It's our only chance to get
your father out of jail.

How will that help?

It'll prove those crooks
are behind everything.

Play ball?

Not now, Astro.

slurp

(The Gridfather)
We ought to be under
Jetson's cell.

This is the place.

[rumbling]

Ow!

- Put me down! I was innocent.
- 'Absolutely.'

My name is, J Spaceboard Glitch.
I'm your lawyer.

Ah, how do you do?

You're free.
I got you off. Let's go.

- Through the floor?
- They're paintin' the hall way.

This keeps your
clothes clean.

[whirring]

Help!

Mom, I'm never gonna
get those crooks back.

Keep trying, Elroy.
Your father's depending on us.

We interrupt this program
for a special announcement.

Master criminal George Jetson,
has escaped.

What?

For breaking into
a burglar proof factory

and out of an
escape proof jail

Jetson is now
public enemy number one.

Oh, sounds like daddy
decided not to depend on us.

It's all my fault.

Poor George.

tzzz tzzz

Elroy, you did it.

I did?

Com on, Glitch.
What's the hold up now?

This is a tough one, Gridfather.

'Spacely Sprocket's got
a real good security system.'

Then you break it.

Because cleaning out that place
is going to be the perfect plan.

You'll never get
away with this.

- Dad!
- George.

Wanna bet?

The cops won't be looking
for me after this job.

They'll be looking for
George Jetson, master criminal.

[laughs]

We have to stop him, or they'll
never believe dad's innocent.

Sounds great, but how?

I'm going to tell Mr. Spacely.
He has to help us.

Why, hello, Mrs. Jetson.

I just heard the awful news
about your public enemy.

Oh, I mean your husband.

Please, let me speak
to Mr. Spacely.

Why, sure, Mrs. Jetson.

[beeping]

Does not compute.

Blast you!

If a dunce like Jetson can
do this, how come I can't?

(RUDI)
'Still does not compute.'

Oh, Mr. Spacely it's so
nice of you to do

George's work for him
while he's away.

Just until I hire
a replacement, Mrs. Jetson.

He'll be away a long time.

But George is innocent.

They only want him
to look guilty

so they can rob
Spacely Sprockets.

Jetson, rob me?

That ingrate.
After all I've done for him.

Not George,
The Gridfather.

(Cosmo)
My dear, even those
two master criminals

working together
couldn't break in here.

Cogswell thought he had the best
security system in the universe

but I do.

But George isn't
going to break in.

Why not?
He broke out, didn't he?

No, Mr. Spacely..

I don't think
he believed you.

That man is
so stubborn.

If that was my company,
you know what I'd do

to that security system?
Id, I-I..

Of course.
That's the answer.

- 'What are you gonna do, mom?'
- No time to explain.

Wish me luck.

swoosh

Ms. Galaxy.

Not a single applicant
will take Mr. Jetson's job, sir.

- The problem is still phooey.
- Phooey?

That's what they all say
when I tell them the salary.

Well, I'm not paying a cent
more for a job any idiot can do.

Mr. Spacely, we've developed
some problems with the sprockets

since you've been
at the controls.

(Mr. Spacely)
'Out.'

(Galaxy)
Mr. Spacely.

Now, what?

I have someone
who didn't say phooey.

He's hired.
Get him in here fast.

Welcome to Spacely
Space Sprockets.

It's my pleasure
to welcome you personally.

(Jane)
Thank you.

What are you doing here?

I'm your new employee,
Mr. Spacely.

What do you know about
the sprocket business?

I read all of
George's manuals.

I know every
little detail.

Now, that's something
you fix by reprogramming

the knitting needles..
I mean the kneading needles.

At least that's what
George always did.

Mrs. Jetson, you're hired.

(Glitch)
All set, Gridfather.

'I broke the security code
at Spacely Sprockets.'

Then we clean
the place out tonight.

Smile, Jetson.
This heist will make you famous.

'Jetson, you're gonna wind up'

'the most wanted criminal
in the universe.'

Oh, dear.
How do I punch up RUDI?

Oh-oh, Judy's sweater
isn't going to be much help.

boing

(computerized vocalization)
'Request for nap, acknowledged.'

'Alarm will sound
if Mr. Spacely approaches.'

'Coffee break.'

'Please indicate choice.'

'Jelly doughnut, cheese danish,
whipped cream surprise.'

'Or your favorite,
all of the above.'

Oh, please let
it be this one.

Why, Mrs. Jetson.

RUDI, some crooks
have George.

They're going to break
into Spacely Sprockets.

We have to reprogram
the security system.

Unnecessary.

As the main frame computer
in charge of security

I assure you that the system
is as perfect as I am.

Oh!

Please, or I'll never
see George again.

And it's all my fault.

[sobbing]

Please, I can't stand
seeing humans cry.

It makes my diodes
go all gooey.

But nobody cares.

Not the police,
not Mr. Spacely.

[sobbing]

Okay, I'll reprogram.

I'll do whatever you say.

Only stop crying.

Oh, thank you, RUDI.

Now then,
how can we set a trap?

Well, notice that
little red switch?

Push it.

Then slide the lever
beside it to position 23.

Then flip the green
switch four times.

[dramatic music]

I'm not going.
You can't make me.

You're already
here, Jetson.

We need to plant your
body prints all over the place.

Pretty clever, huh?

Help!
I'm trapped inside a robbery.

tzzz tzzz

[upbeat music]

Come on.

(George)
'Help!'

Okay, move 'em out.

(Jane)
'RUDI, they're here.'

Activate sequence 95R.

[upbeat music]

Hey, what's going on?

[laughs]
This is fun.

Activate A2,
Mrs. Jetson.

[music continues]

swoosh

Emergency!

The Gridfather is escaping.

Unable to catch up with him.

- But we have to.
- Impossible.

That is beyond
my capability.

RUDI, can we get this
sweater to the warehouse fast?

Yes, that red door
to your left is a mail tube.

swoosh

Now if we change these circuits
and switch frequencies..

What are you doing,
Mrs. Jetson?

Oh, I hope this works.
Cross your fingers, RUDI.

I mean, cross your circuits.

clang

swoosh

boom

Why, it worked Mrs. Jetson.

How clever of you
to send the Gridfather

up in a crate like that.

You three criminals
were caught red handed.

[clears throat]

It's obvious,
you're all guilty.

It's not our fault, your honor.
We didn't want to.

He made us do it.

- I'm innocent!
- Take them away.

No wait.
My father was innocent.

I have proof.

I made a tape of the
Gridfather's last broadcast.

Look.

You'll never
get away with this.

Wanna bet?

The cops won't be looking
for me after this job.

They'll be looking for
George Jetson, master criminal.

I declare George Jetson,
innocent.

Lock up the other two.

swoosh

bam

Elroy, I apologize.

From now on, I'm gonna
believe everything you say.

Everything?

Well, except maybe when I ask
you if you did your home work

or took a bath.

Aren't you even stopping
for dinner, George?

(George)
'I can't, honey.'

Mr. Spacely gave me
more work to make up

for the time
I was on vacation.

Vacation?

You were in a robbery,
then jail.

And then
the Gridfather's prisoner.

Mr. Spacely said,
"Time off is time off."

[beeping]

[siren wailing]

Elroy, please, turn that down.
I can't work.

tzzz tzzz

I am from the Gogora galaxy

and will destroy
the planet Earth

in exactly 31 minutes.

You did it again, Elroy.

Only this time
it's not just a robbery.

Jane!

It's only a movie, dad.

Hmm, which I've seen
eight times already.

Try another
channel, Astro.
