But then the villainous jewel-thief Rutledge checks in with his specially trained orangutan, Dunston. And when Dunston gets loose and tries to escape a life of crime with the help of Brian and Kyle, things go just a little lunatic.

Dunston!

Dunston, come back here!

This job is not over.

The party is only just beginning!

Dunston, Daddy's sorry.

(titters)

Dunston, I've got some lovely bananas here.

(titters)

Don't wave your hairy bottom at me!

Dunston, remember, we're partners!

Fifty-fifty, straight down the line.

Come on, come back here!

Dunston!

Dunston!

Leave it on, please.

Good night, buddy.

Good night, Mom.

You still say good night to Mom?

Yeah.

That's not stupid or anything, is it?

No, Kyle.

It's not stupid at all.

8pm, Mrs. Dellacroce leaves for dinner.

Jewels are still there.

Three hours later, Mrs. Dellacroce returns.

The jewels are gone.

During that time,

nobody else went through that door,

Mrs. Dubrow.

Who is that?

That's Lord Rutledge.

I wonder what he's doing.

That's very odd.

Dunston?

Dunston!

Dunny...

The man from "Le Monde".

Brian, stop it.

Stop it.

Brian...

Dad!

There's a gorilla in the bathroom!

Kyle, there is no gorilla

in the bathroom.

- But, Dad...

- Go back to sleep.

I can't sleep now!

Then watch TV.

Nice little black-and-white movie.

You'll be out in no time.

(TV) Send the riot squad. Kong has escaped!

(roars)

(slurps)

Kyle, go to sleep.

All right. All right. You can sleep with me

tonight if you're still scared. But just tonight.

"(coughs)" Did you brush your teeth?

What are you... You wearing your flannels?

(rings)

Well, you slept all over the place.

The bathroom!

Guess he really has to go.

The camcorder!

No!

Dad's gonna kill you when he finds out

you lost his camcorder.

- I didn't lose it. The gorilla did.

- Oh, right. The gorilla.

Wait till we get it back - you'll see.

(whistles)

Make that three months' allowance

and "six" months of making my bed.

Deal.

Oh, boy.

Hold on.

If anything happens to me,

there's a box of magazines under my bed.

Get rid of them, OK?

Gotcha.

(hums)

- Brian, you OK?

- Yeah, fine, Kyle.

Hold on!

I found something!

Kyle!

What are you doing?!

Excuse me, but, uh,

can you stop doing that?

You trying to kill me?

See, my brother's down there,

and, he, uh, he gets...

Kyle, what the hell are you doing?

Uh...

Hello.

Dunston, stop that!

Aaarrhhhh!

I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him!

Daddy's very angry, Dunston.

God, I am very angry, indeed.

Arh! Ow!

Ha-ha, ha-ha-ha!

Aaarrrhhh...

Damn!

Aaaaarrrrrhhhhh!

Whoa!

Where are we going?

Shoot.

Dad's gonna kill me!

Gee. Thanks...

Dunston?

Is that guy always mean to you?

Don't worry. No one's gonna hurt you.

I promise.

"(woman)" Robert!

Robert.

Robert!

The "Le Monde" spy is named Rutledge.

Lord Rutledge?

- You've met him?

- Well, I... we've passed in the hall.
