Cubby, this may be
our hardest mission yet.
[Cubby] Remember, kids,
the easiest way
is rarely the best way.
You're right, Cubby.
I'll always go
above and beyond
to do what's right.
-[lock unlatching]
-[gasps]
Hi, I'm home.
Look. A perp
is breaking and entering
into his own house.
He'll know where
all the good stuff is.
The perfect crime.
Hi, honey.
Mind taking out the garbage?
[gasps]
He's got an accomplice.
It's an "inside" inside job.
Wait a second.
Doesn't it seem
awfully peaceful?
When was the last time
you saw
Freeze, crooks. Police!
Duke!
[whizzes]
-[tyres screech]
-[siren wailing]
[slurps]
Dispatch, I'm at the bank,
but I don't see
anything out of the ordinary
for a giant bank robbery.
[laughing]
Oh, yeah. We did it!
We got the money.
[Duke] Police. Freeze!
Oh, no. It's Duke De Tain!
[engine revs]
-[screeching]
-[grunting]
Why do we always
celebrate our crimes
before we get to the safe house?
[robbers grunting]
[cheering]
Hup, hup, hey!
Oh, thank you, Officer De Tain.
Just doing my job, sir.
You know, in hindsight,
maybe easily-carried bags
with giant dollar signs
isn't the best way
to store our money.
-[watch beeps]
-Ooh, gotta run. Remember, kids,
the easiest way
is rarely the best way.
[all cheer]
Kind of a non sequitur.
-[both grunt]
-[grunts]
You know, Duke,
how about we walk to jail?
Yeah, it's such a lovely day.
[engine revs]
[cheering]
-[siren blaring]
-[criminals screaming]
-Time for a shortcut.
-[gasps]
[criminals screaming]
[grunting]
-[both whimpering]
-Are we alive?
-Less talk, more hug.
-Okay.
[grunts]
Lieutenant De Tain, I see
you made it on time.
But can't you enter a room
like a normal person?
Sorry, Captain, there wasn't
time for a shoulder roll.
[sighs]
While admittedly effective,
your policing methods
cost this city a lot of money.
For instance, the flamingo
and tuba incident last week
-added up to
-Awesomeness!
Thanks to Duke's sick heroics,
our city will never
suffer through
a flamingo and tuba
shortage again.
You're a serious ripper, dude.
Thank you, Chief Wheeler.
Aw, call me Wheelie.
Respectfully, sir,
I actually don't think
I'm psychologically
capable of that.
[sighs]
Okay.
Time for morning announcements.
First, at the chief's request,
because it would be "rad,"
every police cruiser is now
equipped with a grappling hook.
Rad.
-A harpoon.
-Cool.
And a medieval knight's lance.
Gnarly.
Next, did everybody sign
the get-well card
for Officer Garner?
And speaking of poor Garner,
I need to assign
a new partner for Duke.
Any volunteers?
[car clanging]
[whistles]
-[alarm buzzes]
-[people clamouring]
[Wheeler] Dude, what is up?
I can't make sense of it.
Some huge emergency in the city.
That's all you, Duke.
Check it out.
Yes, sir.
Hup.
[tools clicking, whirring]
[upbeat music]
-[tyres screech]
-[siren wails]
[horn honks]
[people clamouring]
Chief McCloud, any idea
what's causing
all this destruction?
No idea, Duke,
but we've got our work
cut out for us.
Bob, Clemmons, I'm gonna need
a thousand throw pillows,
a water slide,
and as many architects
you can find
that play the French horn.
-Wait, why do we need
-No time!
[tyres screech]
I don't believe it.
I can see super far
with these things.
Huh?
[announcer] Remember kids,
the easiest
way is rarely the best way.
Cubby?
Coming this November,
Cubby The Cop: The Movie.
[creaks]
[DJ] Here's the latest hit
from Poppy Starr.
Turn it up,
it's "The Loud Song."
Oh, I love this.
This is the loud song ♪
The loud song ♪
Turn it up ♪
Oh, Cubby. If there was ever
a time I needed you, it's now.
Something large and terrible
is destroying the city.
Uh, so is that a
"Sure, I'll help you, Duke?"
Okay. I'm getting
mixed signals here.
[clicks]
[rumbling]
[slurps]
Hm. That's odd.
[clamouring]
[grunts]
Cubby, you have to stop this.
Clearly, you're having
some issues.
Let's sit and talk about it,
maybe grab a bite.
[screams]
[grunting]
[yells]
[thuds]
Okay, Cubby,
crushing your friend
with a massive pastry
crosses the line.
A really big, weird line.
This has to end.
Turn it up
Till it all goes away ♪
You can totally ignore it ♪
I got the answer for it ♪

Captain, I think
I've got an idea
of what's happening here.
[Bennett] Good. Lieutenant.
We heard something about a movie
promotion stunt going wrong.
-Let's hear your report.
-Yes, sir.
So my childhood lion-cub
imaginary best friend,
Cubby, has reappeared
as a 200-foot anthropomorphic
balloon monster
bent on randomly
destroying the city
while very loud pop music
emanates from his feet.
I have to lie down.
Yes, sir. He's heading toward
City Centre Square.
I'm gonna try and catch up
and stop him. Duke out.

[tyres screeching]
Ah, good morning,
Officer De Tain.
Please, allow me.
[car crashes]
Huh? What?
[tyres screeching]
[tense music]
Cubby, stop. Please.
Don't make me hurt you.
[grunts]
No. Cubby's a symbol of peace,
justice and hard work.
I can't destroy him
like he's some horrible monster.
The kids are watching.
[cheering]
That's it.
Bap, bap, the loud song ♪
Huh?
Aha! The giant boomerang store.
[tyres screeching]
[grunts]
Yes!
No.
[foreboding music]
[building creaks]
This is way not cool, dude.
Agreed, chief.
We have to clear this building.
Where's Lieutenant De Tain?
Radical.
[rock music]
-[engine revving]
-[tyres screech]
This building can't take
much more of this.
[grunting]
Duke, you're maxed out!
[Wheeler] You gotta bail
over here and cut the rope!
[screams]
[grunts]
[Wheeler] Lieutenant, quick!
Just pop the balloon,
destroying it like some monster,
forever tarnishing
any positive,
aspirational message
Cubby may have for children.
It's the easiest,
therefore, best way.
Uh, yeah, I was kinda hoping
to avoid pretty much,
exactly that.
Like, very specifically,
exactly what you just said.
But I guess I have no choice.
[sombre music]
Sorry, Cubby.
[Cubby] Remember, kids.
The easiest way
is rarely the best way.
You're right, Cubby.
I'll always go above and beyond
to do what's right.
[grunting]
Dude, what are you doing?
You'll float away, too!
Sorry, chief. A real cop
knows the easiest way
is rarely the best way!
We make sacrifices
to help our city.
The kids are watching!
[tranquil music]
[groans]
Above and beyond, Cubby.
This is the loud song
