The gang realize that they are at a point of no return.
The cops tap the metal enclosure to intimidate the supposed criminals inside the Toys Rush store. "Police! Get out of the store, and we'll barge in arrest you!"
"What do we do now?" Liam whispers to the rest.
The toy is still making noise, but Zack and Penelope pull out the batteries.
Lincoln tries to formulate an escape plan with Lena, but she is nowhere to be spotted. "Lena? Where the heck is Lena?"
The guys shrug their shoulders, prompting Lincoln to quietly find Lena from the premises.
He discovers, however, that the security room is still operational. Thus, he checks the room to see Lena giving instructions to Haiku.
"What's going on here?" Lincoln interrupts.
"Shhh! We're trying to find a way out," Lena tells Lincoln.
Along the way, Haiku checks every security camera for possible escape routes that avoid detection from the police. However, the major disadvantage is that the since the store is surrounded by parking space, all sides are unavoidable. "That's all the cameras we have. Regrets, my friend, is the antidote for the burden."
"Okay…" Lincoln utters.
"We need to get you guys outta here," Lena says.
"But how?"
Lena then thinks inquisitively of a plan that involves distractions and sacrifice. She calls on the gang to relay it to them, "Guys, I have an idea! But we need to act fast!"
Later on, five more cops join the fray and prepare their pistols for a possible standoff in front of a toy store. (See the absurdity there?)
The head cop, a Jerry Seinfeld lookalike down to the voice, speaks to the kids via megaphone, "Okay, to those inside the toy store, I don't care what you are doing inside, if either peeing or playing micro machines. But you are trespassing! Step out of the store and put your hands in the air like you just don't care!"
The cops react awkwardly to the cop's sudden unprofessionalism.
"What?" He then resumes to taunting them. "Okay, we leave you no harm. My men are entering the store. Put all your hands in the air!"
Sure enough, two tough cops try to barge in through the left-side door. But right behind it, Penelope and Zack prepare improvised smoke bombs to trap the cops, using toy baby powder and whoopee cushions. Liam and Rusty also prepare for the barging of the caps with remote-controlled cars. And Stella deploys her own trap using jackstones and rubber balls.
Meanwhile, as part of Lena's plan, Clyde and Girl Jordan search around the store for accessible drains to escape. Lincoln then checks on the cops outside and Lena supervises Haiku on checking on the security footage.
With brute force and a blowtorch, the cops barge in to the store. "Police! Anyone in here! Surrender or we'll shoot!"
At that cue, Zack slingshots a cushion towards the eye of one cop.
"MY EYES!" His eyes being struck causes him to trip over the other cop towards the floor full of jackstones. Their guns are dropped in the process. This allows Penelope and Zack to cover the area with thick powder, and cues for Liam to blind their eyes with the toy car's lights. Stella then slowly slides their guns away.
"Dang it! They are blinding us with toys!" the other cop says.
"Not too late!" the one cop enforces. "We're police! You have the right to surrender now!"
"Wait, where are our guns?"
Just as the other cop discovers their artillery missing, Liam, Rusty, Stella and Zack fire nerf darts and pinballs to the cops, pushing them away to the door. The cops cannot recognize their "attackers", thanks to the thick toy powder that serves as a flashbang. Sooner, they retreat outside to uncover their eyes. But before they do so, a scary masked figure appears to them, sending them fleeing back to their cruisers. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The gang then closes back the door and locks it.
"What's with you, men?!" the Seinfeld cop asks.
"They attacked us inside!" the one cop reports in panic mode. "Four of them!"
"They attacked you with talcum powder?"
"No! We had them! But they got our guns! And they outnumber us!" the other cop whines about it.
"Okay…they've gone too far, whoever they are. SEND BACKUP!"
"Roger, sir!"
Lincoln overhears this and alerts Lena via toy walkie-talkie, "Matt to Nora! Matt to Nora! Code red brigade! Over!"
"Roger that, Matt!" Lena responds. She then messages to Clyde, "Nora to Danny, do you read me? Over!"
"Danny to Nora here. Over!" Clyde responds. "Hang on, why you assign me as Danny?"
"Long story. How are you and Girl Jordan?"
"A little preoccupied. So far, we found four drains. And they are like fixed. We can't turn them."
"Just keep going! And tell us right away if you found any. Over and out!" Lena then walks back to the scene where the gang set traps on. "So guys, how are you we doing?"
"Great!" they exclaim.
"You should have seen their faces, Lena. They were scared helplessly!" Liam details.
"Yeah, and the smoke bombs go 'Blow!' and our guns go 'Bang!' It was like a warzone but we sure showed them!" Zack adds to the story.
"Leave that to me for firing this nerf gun like a machine gun," Rusty brags.
"Actually, I was the one who fired that one like a machine gun," Liam insists. Then the boys argue.
Lena then confronts Stella. "They seemed fired up…"
"Tell me about it," Stella replies. "It was kind of scary when they brought guns to the scene. But we showed those cops."
"Speaking of guns, where are they?"
Stella then points Lena to the rifles that she dragged to the corner, using a toy golf club.
"Oh boy, they sure look scary," Lena says. "I really don't like guns in general."
"Yeah. Let's just hope the cops won't fire at us with more."
"Okay, let's just leave them as it is and never have it covered with finger prints."
Suddenly, Lincoln contacts Lena via radio, "Matt to Nora! Hate to add to the tension. But we got company!"
What Lincoln is referring to are new units being deployed and in position outside of the toy store. Five are in position with rifles. And five other cops move towards the left-side door again with batons and shields. This kind of police confrontation already frightens the gang in full extent.
Rusty, Liam and Zack witness this from the front with Lincoln. And Lena, Penelope and Stella are able to glance at the operation from the security camera monitors. The latter is utterly speechless at the actions she caused. "What have I done?"
The Seinfeld cop taunts them once more, "Okay, you, crooks from the inside, I have my men prepared to open fire and arrest you! That is plausible! Now, we'll give you five minutes to step out of the toy store and surrender! Or else, we'll open fire!"
However, the Dean Pelton lookalike owner of the store enters the scene from another police cruiser to intervene. "Wait! Wait! Don't shoot! Don't shoot down this precious store! Let me speak to him." He then grabs the megaphone from the head cop and speaks to the gang, "Look! We'' do anything! We'll give you a 25% discount to all the items in the store! Or free trips to the toilet without having to buy in our store! Just surrender please! Toys Rush is at stake!" The owner just sinks down, whimpering.
"Sheesh, and I thought made-from-China toys are cheap," Zack remarks.
Lena realizes the weight of the responsibility she has right now. That leaves her with no choice. Thus, she radios the gang, "Guys, move to the center aisle now! Over and out!"
At that signal, Lincoln, Rusty, Liam, Zack, Clyde, Girl Jordan, Penelope and Stella skitter to the rendezvous point. Lena insists to Haiku, who is momentarily occupied on fabricating the security footage with them, to move with the others.
"Haiku, move now!"
"It will need an extra five minutes to complete this footage," Haiku tells her.
"We don't have any more five minutes! Come on, Haiku! Go!"
With that, Haiku is persuaded to leave the security room. After she left, Lena takes the tapes with the doctored footage and smashes them to the floor. She then places the authentic tapes to be placed alongside the actual security footage.
Once the gang assembles, Lena races back to them. "Okay guys, I think this is our last stand. I'm so glad I met you all!"
"Wait, this is the end of us? We're going to die?!" Penelope panics. "I can't die! There are a lot of things I want to do in life!"
Girl Jordan then slaps her face to keep her sane. "Get a hold of yourself, girl! We are all in great panic now! Let's not add to it."
Lena asks Clyde, "Clyde, any sign?"
"Not really. But there's this drain that we all can fit in." Clyde then quickly leads them there. He and Girl Jordan try to unscrew the bolts but they are only half-inch successful.
"This could do! Pull!"
At her signal, the kids try to pull the drainage cover out of the drain. However, at the same time, the police attempt to barge in again from the left-side door.
"We'll not make it!" Lincoln shrieks.
"I got this!" Rusty yelps, showing a crowbar he found.
"Wait, Rusty! We can use this!"
"Against the police!"
After that failing gesture, Lincoln uses the crowbar to help lift the drain lid out.
But that is not enough to stop the cops, who finally barge in to the store.
"That does it!" Lena grumbles. "You guys open the lid! I'll distract them!"
But Lincoln is hesitant for Lena on doing so. "Lena, you can't. You're gonna risk your life!"
"Lincoln, I made you all barge in the store, so I can get a skateboard. It's time I pay the price!" Lena then retrieves her skateboard, a nerf gun, a slingshot, a hockey mask and a pack of cushions stuffed with toy powder to prepare to take down the cops.
"Lena…" Lincoln tries to stop her.
But Lena kisses her best friend on the lips, insisting that she handles them. "I got this. This is me. Go Lincoln!" And with that, Lena stealthily skates to the shadowy part of the store to maneuver around the SWAT team.
"Lena…"
Just at the right moment, the gang opens up the drain opening, each hop inside: Girl Jordan, Penelope, Zack, Liam, Rusty, Haiku and Clyde. But Lincoln stands there, worried about Lena.
"Lincoln, come on!" Clyde insists.
"I can't How about Lena?" Lincoln replies worrisomely.
They suddenly hear the sound of echoing explosions and tear gas firing.
Clyde is worried to. But seeing Lena's gallantry, he says, "Lincoln, sometimes a little warrior must confront her big problems."
After minutes of hesitation, Lincoln reluctantly jumps to the drainage with others. They soon run away to the pipeline, as the opening closes above them.
"LENA!"
