"Transmission Impossible"

[Bo] Here we are! Motopolis'

100th Vaniversary party!

I can't believe the city

is a hundred years old.

Hola, muchachos!

Chef Al and I made a cake

for the city's birthday.

-Whoa!

-So much cake.

[Carly] So many candles.

Ooh, looks like we need to

fetch more sprinkles.

Do you mind watching

the cake while we're gone?

Not at all, Chef Fernando.

I've never seen a cake

this big before

Oof!

[crash]

-You all right, Harry?

-I'm okay. [sighs]

You know me,

always bumping into things.

[both grunt]

-I'm sorry!

-It's all good, Harry.

I'll get the others

to help fix the fence.

[all gasp]

Oh, hello, Firebuds.

Who are they?

Wayne and Wiley Riley!

And Grant and Gauge.

Their vroommates-in-crime.

What are you doing here?

Just pulling off a robbery

so daring, so dreadful,

so delicious

Ugh. We're stealing the cake.

And thanks to whoever knocked

down the fence for us.

-[gulps]

-[crash]

You can tell the rest of Motopolis,

when it comes to crime,

Wayne and Wiley

take the caaaake!

And Grant and Gauge.

♪♪

They're getting away!

I'll get us out of here.

This is all my fault.

We gotta try to stop 'em, Carly!

-Whoa!

-Hang on, Harry.

Get closer So I can cut their

tow cable off the cake trailer.

Whoa! Oof!

Oh, no! The cake!

Sorry!

We gotta rescue Harry and Carly.

-And the cake!

-Let's roll, Firebuds!

That door they drove into

looks just like the brick wall.

It must be the entrance to

the Rileys' secret hideout.

[grunts]

[Flash over earbuds]

Harry and Carly are stuck inside!

[Violet] How are we

going to get them out?

Hey, it's Harry.

I think I've got

one of your earbuds.

Bo, Harry has your earbud.

Take this extra.

Harry, it's Bo. Do you see

a way to open the door?

Uhhh

Oh! I see two buttons.

I think it's the green one.

-Whoa!

-[buzzer sounds]

Uh-oh!

[all] Ahh!

Where'd the ground go?

Looks like a job for the J-Catch.

Awesome!

-Are you all right?

-[Bo] We're okay.

We fell through a trap door.

Sorry. I hit the wrong button.

It's okay, Harry.

Let's see if we can

find a way to save them.

Right!

Where are we?

[robot voice] Welcome.

You've landed in Wayne

and Wiley's secret lair.

They will be alerted to

your presence.

Please prepare for your

impending doom.

[gasps]

[evil laugh]

-Wayne and Wiley. There are

- Not now, computer.

-But

- I said not now.

-But there are intru

- You can tell me all about it

after we finish celebrating

the perfect crime.

[robot voice sighs]

Uh, so now that

we've got the cake,

what're we gonna do with it?

Eat it, of course!

[laughs]

Now where are those forks?

[grunts]

Eh.

This must be the control room.

[both] Ooh!

[Flash]

No lights over there.

There's gotta be

a way out of here.

[Harry over earbud]

Bo, we found the control room.

I'm gonna try to find a way

to get you out.

Hmm, according to

this instruction book,

I can open any door

with the right code.

Let's see Aha!

Booby trap room exit.

6-15-19-34.

[straining]

I can't reach

-Whoa!

-[beeping]

Uh-oh. I think I opened

the wrong door!

[robot voice] Prepare to meet

Wayne's Rainbow Robots of Doom.

Aww, pretty!

[beeping and whirring]

Not pretty! Not pretty!

Hey Axl. Let's hit 'em with

the Crossfire Zig-Zag.

Oh, yeah. Try and zap us,

evil robots!

♪♪

♪♪

[Violet and Axl]

Way to save the day.

[Harry]

Look at that, Carly.

Axl and Violet can take out

a bunch of robots

and I can't even

push buttons right.

Everyone makes

mistakes sometimes.

But I make 'em all the time.

[grunts]

Can you open it for us, Harry?

I can try

Let's see "93-10-4-17."

-[buzzer sounds]

-Oh, no. Not again.

-"Not again" what?

-[robot voice] Hello.

You have switched

on the Hugging Hallway.

Well, that sounds nice.

[robot voice] Prepare to be

hugged and squeezed

into happy little pancakes.

Not nice! Not nice!

Flash, Piston.

Help me stop the walls.

[all grunting]

They're still hugging!

There must be wires controlling

this thing somewhere.

Aha!

Let's see

I think I just need to pull this wire

Nope. Wrong wire.

[all straining]

We need a new plan!

[gasps] I know!

My spike strip usually

pops bad guys' tires,

but in this case

Yeah!

That's what's poppin', P!

Now I just need to get into

their computer system and

Bam. Open says me.

[Harry over earbud]

Sorry, Buds.

I wish I wasn't so clumsy.

Ah, don't worry bout it, Harry.

We made it out just fine.

[robot voice] If you thought

you made it out just fine,

think again.

You've reached

the Staircase of Surprises.

Ooh, I like surprises!

No more surprises!

No more surprises!

We can get past this stairway, Flash.

Gimme your hose.

Now blast it and go.

Everyone, follow us!

♪♪

Take that, Surprise Ducky!

[squeaks]

Yes, they made it!

-Did you hear that?

-Hm?

What's this doing on the floor?

Wayne, look.

If the cake is here,

the exit must be back that way.

Then all we need to do

is find Harry and Carly

and tow the cake outta here.

Well, what do we have here?

Looks like a bunch of

Firebuds in a trap.

We're not in a trap.

[all] Ahh! Whoa!

Okay, now we're in a trap.

Ha ha! Oh, what a day.

The perfect crime,

the perfect cake

and we caught the Firebuds.

What more could we ask for?

Another slice of perfect cake?

[gasps] To the cake room!

You know, this would be more

fun if we actually ate cake.

You said it.

I'm so so sorry.

I blew it again.

It's okay, Harry.

You can make it up to us!

Just find a way

to shut off the trap.

What's the point?

I'd probably trip or slip

and make things worse.

Let's face it,

I can't do anything right.

Everyone's good at something.

You simply haven't

found your thing yet.

-But you will.

-Ooh!

Maybe there's a code in

that manual you were using

that can turn off the trap.

Wayne took the manual with him.

Yeah, but

now that you mention it,

I saw something called the

"laser trap shutoff code."

It was 23, 52, 39, 67.

Whoa! You remembered

all those numbers

-after seeing them once?

-Yeah, so?

I think we just found what

you're good at.

So tap those buttons!

But what if I slip

and hit the wrong ones?

Just tell me the numbers

and I'll press the buttons.

Okay. It's 23, 52, 39, and 67.

-Oh, yeah!

-You did it!

Huh, I guess we did.

I knew we would.

[both groaning]

I don't feel so good.

Too much cake.

[Bo]

Too much crime, if you ask me.

-What? How did you

-Get em, Buds!

-Hop on, Wayne!

-Let's go, Wiley!

[grunting]

[squelching]

It's every car for themselves!

Later, Wayne!

Gotcha!

¡Que bueno! You made it

just in time for dessert.

Sorry, Chef Al.

We caught the thieves,

but the cake was ruined.

[gasps] What are we

going to serve everyone?

Well, lucky for us,

Harry remembered the most

important numbers of all.

The phone numbers for all

the ice cream trucks in town.

Harry saved the day

and the party.

Three cheers for Harry!

[all]

Hip, hip, hooray!

Hip, hip, hooray!

Hip, hip, hooray!

[both giggle]

[Piston] " Carkour"

Hey, Gearbox Grove!

I'm Vin Voltage,

and this is carkour

the sport where the world

is your playground.

Wanna see more awesome,

revvin' moves?

Come to my live show tonight!

I'll rock your shocks off!

Carkour is for cars only;

humans, do not imitate,

but please buy

tickets to the show.

Vin Voltage is the coolest.

You said it, Piston. [sighs]

I watched a few of Vin's videos

and learned some of his

carkour moves. Check it out.

♪♪

-Amazing.

-Incredible.

-Smooth!

-Carkour master.

I want Vin to sign my bumper

more than anything

in the world

And if I could impress him

with moves like those,

he would totally sign it.

Will you teach me carkour, Axl?

Ooh, me, too. Teach me, too.

Happy to!

Carkour class is in session.

Right this way

Okay, the first move

we're learning

is the jump-bounce-flip.

Jump bounce flip

♪♪

Jump bounce flip

Don't write it. Just do it.

You got it, Teacher Axl.

Jump!

Bounce!

Flip!

And Flash nails the landing.

[both] Wee-oo.

Nice job.

All right, Piston, your turn.

Okay, here goes

Jump! [strains, grunts]

Oof!

-This is embarrassing.

-Here ya go, buddy.

That was much harder

than it looked.

Hmm, maybe we should try

some easier moves.

♪♪

Shock-Vault!

Carzan Swing.

Side Mirror Spin.

Bumper Backroll. Trunk Trapeze.

-[gasps]

-And the Wheel Whipper.

-Those are the easier moves?!

-Let me try!

Shock-Vault! Carzan Swing.

Side Mirror Spin,

Bumper Backroll.

Trunk Trapeze

and the Wheel Whipper.

-Wow.

-Woot!

-Aced it.

-Thanks.

It's not that hard once

you get into the swing of it.

Really? Okay

[engine revs]

Shock-Vault!

Ooh! Ahh! Oof!

Try it again, P. You got this.

[engine revs]

Shock-Vault! [grunts]

I don't think I got it.

Well, you're just starting out.

It takes time

to learn something new.

Axl and Flash didn't need time.

Why don't we try the

jump-bounceflip again?

Just do what I do.

Jump!

Jump!

Yeah, go, P!

Bounce! Flip!

Bounce! No!

[cat yowls]

[Piston] I'm okay!

-The cat is, too.

-[cat meows]

[Axl] Okay, next lesson.

We're going to go

up the rampway

using the carkour moves

we've already learned.

-I'm not sure I've learned any

-Up we go!

Jump, bounce,

flip, shock-vault

All right. [deep breath]

Come on, P! Jump!

Now bounce

[both] and flip!

Ahh!

[tire creaking]

P, that was a kickin' jump

and bounce.

And a terrible flip.

But before,

you could only do the jump.

So you're getting better.

No, they're getting better.

Just look at 'em.

-Whoo-hoo!

-[exclaiming]

All right, class

Piston?! What happened?

-I fell.

-Oh, well,

maybe carkour

isn't for everyone.

Come on, Flash.

Let's go up to the roof!

Oh, yeah!

Awesome! Yes!

Carkour on the roof?

Let's go watch!

But P's got a flat tire.

It's okay. You go ahead.

I'lI come up

after I change my tire.

-Ya sure?

-Yeah, I'm good.

Going up!

Hit it!

Piston. I don't think

you should give up.

Axl does. And she's right.

Carkour just isn't for me.

I think it is.

Your jumps look great.

-And you just did your first bounce.

-Barely.

[sighs] You know, Piston,

everyone learns

at their own pace.

Sometimes it's quick and easy.

And other times,

it takes longer.

But the important thing

is to know

that it's okay to learn

at your own pace.

Just look at me!

More or less.

Hey, Gearbox Grove!

Okay, now we do

the Double-Aerial Corkscrew!

[both] Whoa!

[gulps]

-Come on, Flash!

-I don't know, Axl. That looks hard.

I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

[scoffs] You totally are.

It'll be easy-peasy-anti-freezy.

If you say so

[engine revs]

Whoa!

-Hey, Gearbox

-Whoa!

-[Jayden] Flash!

-You okay?

Well, I'm better than the billboard.

Don't worry, Flash.

I know just the carkour move

to nudge you free

the Triple-Aerial Corkscrew.

Triple Corkscrew? Whoa.

Have you ever

done that move before, Axl?

No, but I saw it once

in a Vin Voltage video.

Whoa!

It's not as easy-peasy

as it looks, is it?

Nope.

-[both straining]

-There we go.

-[Jayden] Buds!

-[both gasp]

Flash and Axl crashed!

We need help!

There's only one way to get up

there fast enough to save them.

-[yawns]

-[elevator dings]

-[Bo] Yikes.

-[Piston] They are in trouble.

We need to find a way

to pull them loose.

Or bump them loose.

How? They re too high up.

Not if I use some

carkour moves to bounce up

and knock them free.

But I thought you were having

trouble with carkour.

To be honest,

I'm still working on the flip.

But it's an emergency.

I just need to figure out

the right moves.

I can help with that, P.

If you do

the jump-bounce-flip move,

you can jump to Flash,

knock him loose,

then bounce and flip over

to Axl and knock her loose.

[gulps] Did I mention I was still

having trouble with the flip?

I thought you rocked it.

But even if we

knock them loose,

we need something to

cushion their fall.

I can help with that, too.

I call it the J-Catch.

And I've been

itching to try it out.

Then let's save our Buds.

-Is that Flash?

-Is that Axl?

Is that my billboard?

Okay, Piston. You can do this.

Probably.

What's goin' on?

Piston's gonna jump-bounce

and flip you loose.

But he doesn't know carkour.

Jump!

Bounce!

Flip!

-You did it!

-Incredible!

That's what's up.

Thanks for saving us, Piston.

I'm sorry I didn't think you

could do carkour before.

-I was wrong.

-[Vin Voltage chuckles] You sure were.

Those were some of the slickest

carkour moves I've ever seen!

-Vin Voltage?!

-I'm your biggest fan.

Sorry about your billboard.

It's such an honor to meet

you, Mr. Voltage.

I was wondering if you could

please sign my bumper.

I'd be happy to.

But there's one thing

we gotta do first.

I thought I'd seen every

carkour move there was,

but today, for the first time,

I saw a carkour rescue!

So give it up for my new

carkour-chromeboy

who's revvin' moves

saved the day Piston!

Now your buddies told me

you just started

learning carkour today.

So how'd you

pick it up so fast?

Fast? I thought I was going slow.

Are you kidding?

It took me years

to get my moves down.

I guess everyone

learns at their own pace.

Well, that's some

truth right there, brother.

Now let's rock

their shocks off!
