==Transcript==
On top of the Jungle Gym, one of King Bob's guards Freddy was sitting on King Bob's throne, and was substituting for King Bob. He was wearing a yellow crown-shaped hat with an F on it. He was being King Freddy II. He had an announcement to the kids in the playground.
Freddy: Kids in the playground, King Bob is sick, and I'm substituting for him until the joyful day of his return. You will look up to me. I have Jordan and Jerome helping me because their mentor is sick. Anyone will be respecting my royalty. 
Jordan: Of course, Freddy will be doing a great job until the joyful day of King Bob's return. 
Jerome: Yeah, Freddy will do anything of what King Bob does. He's as good as King Bob!
Lawson was in the crowd, and he was annoyed.
Lawson: Oh no! Not Freddy! He can't be a king! What a corrupted idiot he is! He whomps! He's one of King Bob's stupid enforcers!
TJ looked annoyed at Lawson.
TJ: Lawson, don't talk about Freddy like that!
Spinelli: Yeah, shut or you're dead meat! Respect him or I'll cream you!
Spinelli tried to cream Lawson.
TJ: Woah, woah, woah, Spinelli. Lawson will do as he's told. Freddy will give him punishments if he doesn't.
TJ let go of Spinelli.
Spinelli: Yeah, Freddy will give Lawson punishments. Lawson, I'm not going to cream you. So instead, worse than that, Freddy will get you creamed.
Lawson: Not if I can help it.
Spinelli: You better obey the law of the playground, or you'll get up getting punished at the hands of Freddy.
Later, Freddy was thoughtful.
Freddy: Oh boy! This job is easy! Because King Bob is sick, I'm getting used to this job.
Just then, Trumpet Boy and his companion, came carrying Smithy to him.
Trumpet Boy: Your Highness, I caught Smithy from spraying goo at Upside-Down Girl.
Freddy glared to Smithy.
Freddy: So? You're spraying goo at Upside-Down Girl, eh?
Freddy made an announcement.
Freddy: I hereby decree that he be put on the seesaw to be spanked to the music of Witch Doctor until he mends his ways.
Trumpet Boy: Um, sir? Don't you think that's a bit harsh?
Freddy: Oh, very well. Dodgeball wall for being naughty. Guards, take him to the dodgeball wall.
Trumpet Boy: With pleasure.
Two guards glared at Smithy.
Trumpet Boy: Come with us!
Guard: You're going to the dodgeball wall!
Two guards dragged Smithy off the observation deck and dragged him down the ladder on the way to the dodgeball wall, kicking and screaming.
Smithy: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Then two guards approached the dodgeball wall and placed Smithy to it.
Trumpet Boy: And stay at the dodgeball wall!
Guard: And don't you dare try to move!
Two guards walked off. Smithy felt angry.
Smithy: This really whomps! I can't believe King Bob sent one of his guards Freddy to substitute for him. King Bob's sick, and Freddy is as bossy as King Bob.
Just then, Lawson came.
Lawson: What's the matter, Smithy?
Smithy: Freddy got Daniel and Bernard to place me at the dodgeball wall. Freddy is as tyrannical as King Bob. First, he threatened to have me put on the seesaw to be spanked to the music of Witch Doctor. Then he got me sent here.
Lawson was horrified.
Lawson: Oh no! Not that stuck-up idiot Freddy! Freddy is so stupid! What a corrupted idiot he is! I'll tell you what. I'll deal with him. I'll go to the police station to gimmick up the wanted poster of Earl Raymond by putting the picture of Lieutenant Griswald on it and then Freddy to arrest Lieutenant Griswald!
Smithy: That's a good idea! Freddy will be in trouble! Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Lawson: But first, I'll go the art cupboard and make an image of Lieutenant Griswald.
So Lawson walked off and then he went back inside Third Street School and walked on the way to the art cupboard. Then he arrived at it and entered it. So Lawson grabbed a paper and some pencils. Then he started to draw Lieutenant Griswald. Soon, he had finished making an image of Lieutenant Griswald.
Lawson: Time to cut the circle!
So Lawson cut the circle to make an image of Lieutenant Griswald.
Lawson: There! All done! Time to take the image to the police station. But first, I must fetch some glue and put the cut paper in the bin.
So Lawson fetched some glue and left the cupboard and walked along. He put the cut paper in the bin. Then he walked on his way out. Then he got out of Third Street School and walked on the way to the police station. Then he arrived at the police station and he walked over to the wanted poster of Earl Raymond.
Lawson: Time to put an image on the wanted poster! But I hate to do this to Earl Raymond! I think he's better looking than Lieutenant Griswald. 
Lawson put some glue on the wanted poster around the image of Earl Raymond, and he put the image of Lieutenant Griswald to cover the image of Earl Raymond. 
Lawson: Next, I'll go and fetch Freddy and bring him here! But first, time to put the glue away!
So Lawson returned to Third Street School and went inside it and returned to the art cupboard and then he put the glue. Then he returned to the playground. He came out of the building and walked over to the Jungle Gym. He climbed up the ladder and came to Freddy.
Lawson: Hey, Freddy!
Freddy: What do you want, Lawson?
Lawson: I want you to come to the police station with me to see the wanted poster. Can you do that?
Freddy: Sure, show me the wanted poster!
So Freddy got off the chair and then he and Lawson got down the ladder and then they left the playground. They walked on the way to the police station, and then they got there. Lawson and Freddy walked over to the wanted poster.
Lawson: I like to tell you something! There's a criminal on the loose! (pointing to the wanted poster) Can you arrest that one? His name's Earl Raymond!
Freddy: Oh, that one? You mean he's on the loose around town? Oh my god! Thanks for telling me, Lawson! I will go and arrest that criminal!
Freddy walked off to find Lieutenant Griswald. 
Lawson: Better be sure, you know the penalty for false arrest! 
Freddy: I'm positive!
Lawson: Hahahahahahahaha! Yes, the trick worked! Time to go back to school and celebrate!
Lawson went back to school, and then he returned to the playground, and he came over to Smithy.
Lawson: Smithy, I gimmicked up the wanted poster and I got Freddy to arrest the criminal.
Smithy: Wow! That was great!
Lawson: He's arresting Lieutenant Griswald and taking him to prison! And he'll be in big trouble for false arrest! Hahahahahahahahaha!
Meanwhile, Freddy walked on and he found Lieutenant Griswald at the Griswald residence.
Freddy: There you are, you dastardly criminal!
Lieutenant Griswald: Hey! What are you doing here?
Before Lieutenant Griswald could say anything, Freddy grabbed him. 
Freddy: I got you now! Come with me right now, you dastardly criminal!
Freddy started dragging Lieutenant Griswald on the way to the police station.
Lieutenant Griswald: Hey! Let go of me! You can't arrest me! I'm the lieutenant of the Army! That disorderly conduct is strictly against Griswald policy! I'm innocent! I tell you! 
Freddy: Tell that to the judge, you naughty boy!
Madge came out of the house, yelling.
Madge: Stop! That's my husband you're kidnapping! Let go of him!
Then Freddy went inside the police station. He was dragging Lieutenant Griswald up the stairs and then he was dragging him through the hallway. Lieutenant Griswald was screaming for help. 
Lieutenant Griswald: Help! Help! Somebody, I'm the lieutenant of the Army! I'm being abducted! Help!
Freddy: You're Earl Raymond, wanted in five states for the decapitation of a statue of the third president of the United States!
Lieutenant Griswald: I'm not Earl Raymond! I'm only Sherman Griswald, lieutenant of the Army! 
Freddy: Oh yeah, and I'm Britney Spears! 
Lieutenant Griswald: You are a kook!
Then Lieutenant Griswald escaped Freddy.
Freddy: Hey, hold it!
Lieutenant Griswald: I repeat you're a kook! 
Freddy: Come back here, you naughty outlaw!
Then Lieutenant Griswald realised something. 
Lieutenant Griswald: Wait a minute! It was the troublemakers who got me arrested for crimes I didn't commit!
Later, Lawson and Gelman were playing tetherball.
Lawson: Boy! Playing tetherball is fun!
Gelman: It sure is!
Lawson: Boy! Freddy is going to get what he deserves!
Gelman: Yeah, he'll be in big trouble for false trouble! Good job tricking him!
Lawson: From now on, I'll be King Lawson!
Gelman: Okay, this is going to be great!
Then Lawson and Gelman saw Lieutenant Griswald being chased by Freddy behind the school fence.
Lieutenant Griswald: HELP! THAT BOY IS MAD! HELP! HE'S TRYING TO ARREST ME!
Freddy: Get back here, Earl Raymond!
Lawson: Hahahaha! Run, coward, run!
Gelman: I bet you can't escape Freddy who's trying to arrest you!
Then TJ and the Gang heard Lieutenant Griswald screaming from behind the school fence.
Lieutenant Griswald: HEEEELP! MADMAN!
TJ: What's all the screaming?
Vince: I think I hear someone.
Gus noticed that his dad was being chased by Freddy.
Gus: Oh no! Freddy's chasing my dad! This is terrible!
Lieutenant Griswald: HELP ME! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO PRISON!
Gretchen: Freddy's going mad! This is not good!
Mikey: Freddy's mistaken! He's trying to arrest Gus' dad!
Even Randall Weems and his friend Menlo were seeing Lieutenant Griswald being chased by Freddy.
Lieutenant Griswald: DON'T LET THAT MADMAN ARREST ME!
Randall: Oh no! Freddy Dawkins is chasing Gus' dad!
Menlo: You have to tell Miss Finster!
Randall: Great idea!
Randall ran off to tell Miss Finster.
Randall: MISS FINSTER! MISS FINSTER!
Then Randall came to Miss Finster.
Miss Finster: Randall, what is it?
Randall: You're not going to believe me! Freddy Dawkins is chasing Gus' dad and trying to arrest him!
Miss Finster screamed with dismay.
Miss Finster: (in her TV voice) WHAT?!
Miss Finster's voiced echoed.
Miss Finster: Good sweet Mike! Oh no! Freddy is chasing Gus' dad and trying to arrest him! I want a word with him! Thanks for telling me, Randall!
Miss Finster ran off to tell Freddy. Freddy kept on chasing Lieutenant Griswald.
Freddy: Come back here! You can't escape me! You're going back downtown! Go back there! You're in trouble for decapitating a statue of the third president of the United States!
Lieutenant Griswald: You're mistaken! I'm Sherman Griswald, the Army lieutenant!
Miss Finster burst in.
Miss Finster: FREDDY DAWKINS! STOP!
Freddy: What?!
Miss Finster: That's Lieutenant Sherman Griswald you're chasing!
Lieutenant Griswald: Thanks for stopping that kid, Miss Finster!
Miss Finster: No problem, Mr Griswald! (to Freddy) Freddy, why are you chasing Mr Griswald?
Freddy: But, Miss Finster. That guy is Earl Raymond. I tried to stop him for escaping him. He had just decapitated the statue of the third president of the United States.
Just then, TJ and the Gang came.
TJ: Freddy Dawkins, stop! What are you doing chasing Gus' dad?
Freddy: You stay out of this, Detweiler! That guy is Earl Raymond!
Gus: Freddy, you don't understand? That's my dad! He's the Army lieutenant you're kidnapping!
Spinelli: What are you doing kidnapping Gus' dad?!
Vince: You'll be in big trouble for false arrest!
Gretchen: You know Gus' dad is not Earl Raymond! The other man Earl Raymond is a criminal who stole the head of Jefferson some years before and who posed as the new cover janitor.
Mikey: Why did you do that to Gus' dad? He's not Earl Raymond!
Freddy: Don't you understand?! Earl Raymond is not the Army lieutenant, he's a faker! And he's not Gus' dad!
Lieutenant Griswald: Don't you understand?! I'm Sherman Griswald, Army of the lieutenant!
Gus: Pop, that guy from fifth grade who skipped to sixth grade is Freddy Dawkins. He's been mistaken and he wrongly arrested you for a crime you haven't done.
Lieutenant Griswald: See, Freddy. I didn't decapitate the statue of the third president of the United States.
Miss Finster: Freddy, come with me to Principal Prickly's office! I think you need a talking to!
Freddy came with Miss Finster to Principal Prickly's office sadly. Then he and Miss Finster entered Principal Prickly's office.
Principal Prickly: So, Muriel? Why are you bring Freddy here?
Miss Finster: Freddy Dawkins has falsely arrested Gus' dad and tried to chase him, mistaking him for Earl Raymond. Can you have a word with him?
Principal Prickly: Don't worry, I'll give him a talking to!
Miss Finster: Thanks!
Miss Finster left.
Principal Prickly: Tell me, Freddy! Did you falsely arrest Gus' dad and try to chase him, mistaking him for a criminal named Earl Raymond?
Freddy gulped.
Freddy: Um, um, um... I did. Because he decapitated the statue of the third president of the United States. I arrested him, but he escaped me. I tried to chase him, but my mission is interfered.
Principal Prickly: Freddy Dawkins, that's Gus' dad you're falsely arresting! You're mistaken! You did the wrong thing! Don't you know his name is Sherman Griswald? Not Earl Raymond! He's the lieutenant of the Army! The other man Earl Raymond is a criminal who stole the head of Jefferson some years before and who posed as the new cover janitor! For false arrest, I have no choice but to suspend you for a week!
Freddy: But, Principal Prickly. It's not my fault. It was Lawson. He set me up.
Principal Prickly: I don't care! Your behaviour is disgraceful! Go home right now!
Freddy began to leave the office, crying.
Freddy: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Lawson watched as Freddy walked away, crying.
Lawson: Yay! I did it! I tricked Dawson into arresting Lieutenant Griswald!
Freddy felt angry at Lawson.
Freddy: You! I'll get you for this, you double-crossing moron!
Jordan and Jerome saw Freddy walking on his out crying.
Jordan: Oh no! Poor Freddy!
Jerome: He's in trouble! That's because he did the wrong thing!
Jordan: I feel sorry for him.
Jerome: Me too.
Jordan: Let's go to King Bob's house and tell him what happened.
Jerome: Good idea! Let's go!
Suddenly, Miss Finster stepped in.
Miss Finster: Lawson, how dare you trick Freddy into arresting Lieutenant Griswald?! That is not very nice! I have heard from King Bob's guards and Butch that you did so! Tell me the truth!
Lawson: I sneaked into the art cupboard and made an image of Lieutenant Griswald. Then I went to the police station and gimmicked up the wanted poster of Earl Raymond. Then I tricked Freddy into arresting Lieutenant Griswald where he mistakes him for Earl Raymond.
Miss Finster: Oh my god! That is unacceptable! You know gimmicking up wanted posters is a very bad thing to do! Poor Lieutenant Griswald's upset because you had Freddy falsely arrested him and chased him! Gus and his friends have to cheer Lieutenant Griswald up because you tricked Freddy tricked into doing the wrong things! Lieutenant Griswald would have been in prison, if it wasn't for me. That's it, go to Principal Prickly's office right now!
Lawson went to Principal Prickly's office and got in it. Then he approached Principal Prickly.
Principal Prickly: So, Lawson? Why are you here?
Lawson: I gimmicked up the wanted poster of Earl Raymond by putting the image of Lieutenant Griswald that I made on it and tricked Freddy into arresting Lieutenant Griswald where he mistakes him for Earl Raymond.
Principal Prickly was furious.
Principal Prickly: Lawson, how dare you gimmick up the wanted poster of Earl Raymond and trick Freddy into arresting Lieutenant Griswald?! And what's worse, you got him into trouble and you got me to suspend him! You set Freddy up! That's it, get out of my sight and go home while I call your parents and call Freddy's parents about what you did to their son!
Lawson went home in disgrace. Back home, Lawson's parents were furious with Lawson.
Lawson's dad: Erwin, how dare you gimmick up the wanted poster of Earl Raymond and trick Freddy Dawkins into arresting Lieutenant Griswald where he mistakes him for Earl Raymond?!
Lawson: But dad, Freddy is substituting for King Bob! He's as tough as King Bob! He's corrupt! He gives out harsh punishments! He had Smithy sent to the dodgeball wall. That's why I have to trick him. I made an image of Lieutenant Griswald and put it on the wanted poster of Earl Raymond, and then I got Freddy to arrest Lieutenant Griswald and got him into trouble!
Lawson's mum: You should be ashamed of yourself! Poor Freddy is suspended for a week for false arrest, because of you! You got him into a lot of trouble!
Lawson's dad: That's it, you are grounded, grounded, grounded for a week!
Lawson's mum: Go upstais to your room now!
Lawson went to his room, crying.
Lawson: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
