foreign [Music] Fat Albert's class I'm glad you brought back your slips for officer Gomez class you didn't have your parents sign your slip don't you want to be fingerprinted what for Miss Walker I'm not a criminal yeah of course not this is a new idea your parents want the police department to try so we can identify you in case you are hurt or become the victim of a child stealing but let's see what you can do to avoid being a victim in the first place if someone tries to grab you scream for help as loud as you can go on and try hey what is going on here sorry Mr Menendez I wanted to show the kids that screaming loud enough will almost always attract a concerned adult but we didn't expect to get the principal I think it worked to carry on officer thanks it's also a good idea to pair with a friend rather than walk alone and now a word about dressing right although zombies zombie makes me feel like a zombie [Music] t-shirts with your name on them are nice to wear but they'll help a criminal fool you into thinking he knows who you are isn't that right wake up Hank hey how'd you know my name next time Hank see that you do your sleeping at home poor Hank thanks to the Late Show last night he can't keep his eyes open and it's too bad because he missed some important information from officer Gomez I fell asleep once in school it was during my art class when I woke up I found the other kids that tied my shoelaces together you should have seen me try to walk but all I lost was my dignity and if Hank gets taken in by a dangerous stranger he could lose a lot more than that forget it Russell you're looking at the greatest player that ever lived then how come all I see is you [Music] it ties it up [Music] it's getting a little late to be hanging out here let's finish the game tomorrow and be prepared to lose I'll see you guys wait a minute Russell you heard what officer Gomez said about going home alone when it gets dark wait for Bill okay uh you guys are more scared than turkeys in November [Music] you see that fellow I wonder why I was looking the kids over I've got a bad feeling about him she'll hope the gang keeps their eyes open and uses their heads [Music] I'm certainly glad Albert invited you over for dinner we're sure glad to be here me too how'd the fingerprinting go today boys it was neat it was fun I got ink all over everything I touched well let's hope we never need to use the Prince Albert you may get the dessert officer Gomez had a lot of interesting things to say yeah like using a secret word that only your mom and dad and family know that way if someone tries to give Russell or me a ride we'll only go with the guy if he knows the special word that's a good idea let's think up a word for Albert after dinner I wish more pants would take this precaution I hate to see any of the kids end up missing like our dessert oops help yourselves Russell's happy because to him desert's the best part of the meal well it's now the next day and here comes Russell only now he's unhappy I wonder why [Music] would pick today to make me clean my my room just because she couldn't see the floor now I'll be too late to [Music] Jack I'm an old friend of your mother she sent me to pick you up so we could spend the afternoon together oh yeah you know I'm kind of worried about her she didn't feel too well that's why I came to take you home instead of her then what's the code word code word there's no time to be playing secret agents well um I could get on faster if I run be a good boy get in the car thanks but no thanks [Music] oh you gotta hand it to Russell he remembered to ask for the code word and he remembered to scream just as officer Gomez told him [Music] Russell what's the matter [Music] yeah I want your mouth's open but nothing's coming out Rudy this time I met someone even scarier than you man yeah a man tried to grab me it was awful listen up fellas we gotta do something about this I say we call the police and alert everyone in the neighborhood yeah this dude could still be around [Music] yeah it's too bad that all the people who tried to steal or harm kids don't look like creeps then we'd all know who to watch out for but they don't you see bad guys come in all shapes colors and sizes so you never know and that's why you can't take a chance with any stranger uh-oh looks like our stranger is still around [Applause] [Music] you better hurry Hank you know my name sure I've been sent by your mother to pick you up my mother is something wrong wait a minute you guys there's a guy who tried to take me are you sure you bet I am who's that William it looks like Hank hey hey you say she's sick and in the hospital don't worry Hank I'll take you to her right away [Music] hey the hospital's the other way shut up and sit down well Hank's in trouble and I mean real trouble he believed the LIE he was told about his mother being sick no point in talking about what he shouldn't have done because he did it so stick around we'll see what Fat Albert and the Gang can do about it [Music] hey that's old town he's driving too he won't get far there the streets are blocked what do we do Russell you Sonic I am close to you fallen police and give them his description and tell them where he's headed right Bucky you run over to Hank's house and tell his parents gotcha Fat Albert the rest of you guys follow me well you've got to find that car [Music] hey the gang's gone into action and they've done the right thing they've notified the authorities and Hank's parents and I think things are going to start moving for the good guys that's us today I'm glad you remembered the license plate number of the car Russell you're very observant anything else I could go you've done just fine now leave it to us they could be
