Meanwhile back at Kevin's home, Calvin and Macy climb a chair and open the attic door.
Calvin: Come on hurry!
The two get into the attic and see a lot of random stuff around including a bowling ball, helium tanks from Macy's last birthday, and a large roll of christmas lights on a wheel just to name a few. Calvin looks to his side and sees a cardboard cutout of himself with a movable cardboard arm that makes him wave when a battery is installed.
Calvin: Hey my cut out! That's where dad stashed it!
At the end of the attic is a large old trunk.
At the same time in Chicago, the "Holiday flight" score is heard as Kevin is running on foot pressing his way through people and slow moving cars.
Kevin: (running by a crowd of people and through cars) Excuse me! Move! Move!
Woman on street: (Being pushed aside) Hey!
Cars honk as Kevin runs sporadically in front of them.
Man in car: Watch it buddy!
Kevin sees a bike that a kid is just riding. The kid gets off it just to have Kevin pick it up and ride off in it.
Teen kid: Hey my bike!
Kevin: (Yelling back as he rides off) I know...I'm a real criminal!
Meanwhile Calvin and Macy open the trunk that is in the attic. Inside are some of Kevin's belongings; most notably a large supply of bottle rockets!
Calvin: Whoa! Cool!
Under the bottle rockets, Macy sees a sweater with a big bird kitted on it.
Macy: Whoa! Daddy wore this? How dorky!
Calvin looks under the sweater and finds a old picture of Kate and Peter (Their grandparents)
Macy: Grandma and Grandpa look so young there!
Then Calvin sees to rolled up papers. He takes them out and see that they are the plans that Kevin made when he was a boy. One paper is titled "Battle plan" and the other is titled "Operation Ho Ho Ho"
Calvin: Hey this must be what dad was talking about!
Macy: What are those?
Calvin: I think these are the blueprints that dad made when he was fighting of those two robbers.
Macy: So you think that was true?!
Calvin: I guess so...
Macy: Are those the two same bad guys who wanted to hurt us?
Calvin: Yeah...I'm pretty sure. (Looking Macy in the eye) We have to fight back! They said they'd be coming about eight. That gives us a little more than an hour.
Macy: But what are we gonna do?
Calvin: We're gonna make our own plan and we can use these (holding up the battle blueprints) to help up. Come on, I need your help. They want a fight! We'll show 'em what a real fight is!
In Chicago, the "Holiday Flight" score continues to play as Kevin rides the borrowed bike to a townhouse nearby. Seconds later he is pounding frantically on the door. Finally and older man about 60 open up. The man is Kevin's father in law named Walter.
Walter: Kevin? What on earth are doing here?
Kevin: (Frantic and out of breath) Hello sir...I need to speak to Ashley right away. It's an emergency!
Just then Ashley, Kevin's soon-to- be-divorced wife comes from behind.
Ashley: (With shock and concern) Kevin! What are you doing here!
Kevin: I had to come something's happened!
Ashley: Oh my gosh what!? Wait! Where are the children!
Kevin (Catching his breath) Ashley...You may want to sit down for this.
Ashley gets pale and wide-eyed as fear and anxiety overcome her. Then before Kevin can speak, she faints!
Moments later inside the house, Kevin is trying to comfort Ashley and trying to keep her calm as she is going through a range of emotions over what happened.
Ashley: My babies! How could you leave my babies alone! Now they've been snatched by those two...murders!
Kevin: Attempted murders...I'm still alive see!
Ashley: DO NOT try to make a joke about this! This is all your fault!
Kevin: HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW! What! You think I wrote them a letter? Hey, crooks! Whenever you get out of prison come look me up! We'll party like the old days! I can introduce you TO MY CHILDREN!
Ashley: YOU LEFT THEM ALONE! AT HOME! OF COURSE THIS IS YOUR FAULT!
Kevin: WELL IF YOU HADN'T OF LEFT ME, YOU COULD BE WITH THEM!
Ashley falls down on the couch and cries.
Walter comes in with a briefcase.
Walter: Why'd you have to go and make my baby girl cry! Hasn't she been through enough in the last five minutes.
Kevin: I'm sorry...really...
Walter: Forget it. Here. (handing Kevin the briefcase) This is all the money I have in my safe. A hundred thousand.
Kevin: They're going to check this...there's gotta be a way to get the rest of the money!
Walter: Why don't you go all rambo- macgyver on their butts like you did before.
Ashley: Daddy!
Walter: I'm just telling ya!
Ashley: Call the police! They'll help us somehow! I don't care what those guys said!
Ashley grabs the phone and starts to dial, but Kevin grabs the phone and hangs it up.
Kevin: No! I won't risk it! We'll find another way! Trust me!
The "Holiday flight" score is heard again as Kevin and Ashley are now in her car, with Ashley driving frantically. Several times she honks and passes on the shoulder while yelling "Move it", or "Get outta the way!"
Kevin: Alright, I've got a few locations on mapquest for chartered flights. Turn left at the next light!
Ashley guns for the red light and turns almost hitting a car!
Kevin: Go! Go! Go! Turn here! Hurry!
Ashley continues to do some stunt driving while avoiding multiple collisions and near hydroplanes on the ice and snow.
Kevin: Almost there just another mile!
Ashley: I got it! I got it!
Kevin sees a general store coming up and gets an idea.
Kevin: STOP AT THAT STORE RIGHT NOW!
Ashley hits her breaks and and recklessly pulls into the store.
Ashley: WHY ARE WE STOPPING?!
Kevin: I have a plan! Come with me!
