Ha!

(YELLING)

(BIG BEN CHIMES)

MAN: Hmm.

This sign again.

Mmm, and here too. It's... No! It's impossible!

Yes! That's it! (SQUAWKS)

That's it! Champollion, I've found the treasure room!

(LAUGHS) I've found it!

(SQUAWKS) Whoo-hoo!

I must inform the British Museum.

Ha-ha!

(DIAL TONE) Hello?

William? Yes, yes, I know it's the middle of the night.

But you are not going to believe your ears.

(LOUD KNOCK AT DOOR) (SQUAWKS)

Oh. What's that? One moment, William. I'll be right back.

(ROBOTIC VOICE) Good evening, Professor Bones.

Uh, yes. Who are you? What do you want?

What the... Oh!

(COUGHS) (SQUAWKS)

(COUGHS)

Do not fight. Sleeping drug.

(COUGHS)

(SQUAWKS)

Capture parrot too.

(SQUAWKS)

WILLIAM: Arthur? (SQUAWKS)

(SQUAWKS)

Arthur, are you there?

Can you hear me?

(ARTHUR'S VOICE) William, sorry. It's Champollion.

He's been acting up lately.

News? Oh, no.

I just wanted to let you know I'd be gone for a few days

to verify several theories.

I'll keep you posted. Goodnight. (SNORES)

(ROBOTIC VOICE) Take the professor and find parrot.

Ah! The magnet!

Yeah!

Hmm? Did you eat the magnet?

Seriously, Bro? Is that the only reason you could dream up?

Hey, Bro! Look what we've got!

This time it fell into our bowl.

(GASPS) A chinchilla!

Come on! Give it to me, guys!

Why would we give it to you?

Because it would finally complete my collection!

You guys don't even collect them!

We want something in exchange.

Like the magnets you have doubles of.

This way, we can start a collection too.

Di-di-di-di-duh. No way.

Not my collection of doubles!

Fine. Then we're starting our own collection with this one.

Wait! Wait!

Uh, I'll let you look at my complete collection, with the doubles,

uh, two minutes a day!

(SIGHS) The worst part is, they're capable of accepting.

Three minutes a day!

Deal!

Come on. Hand it over.

No! Wait for three seconds.

Throw it!

I warned you.

NO!

(SOBS) Uh-uh.

Your collection will have to wait. Duty calls!

No! My chinchilla!

You two get it back!

Otherwise our deal is oooooo-off!

Oh, sorry, guys - your buddy, the chinchilla, got stuck on a mug!

Ah! You must be Clever.

I'm Champollion. It's about my...

Your master is an archaeologist, or a historian.

Last night, he made an incredible discovery.

In all likelihood, he screamed or danced for joy

but he was assaulted and you fled with his precious notebook.

He screamed AND danced for joy!

I don't know how you figured that all out without any information.

But I'm not surprised.

Me either. It must be written inside your notebook there.

She can read. OK, it's cool but nothing to get in a tizzy over.

Right, magnet?

I heard about your scientific methods -

that's why I came to you and not the police.

Simple deduction.

Bro and I prevented the theft of the famous Book of the Knights Templar

during our last investigation.

I recognised the Templar symbol in your notebook

and the quickly scribbled exclamation points suggest a discovery.

Everyone knows that the Templars' book contains secrets,

namely the precise location of a famous treasure.

Huh? A treasure? Did you guys know that?

If you came to me with your master's notes,

it means he's in danger.

Someone was spying on him,

waiting for him to discover the location of the treasure,

and now they will force him to reveal his secret.

That's right - this someone was a robot!

A robot?

Whoa, how cool!

Maybe we could re-program it and keep it for ourselves?

Hmph. We have no time to lose.

We must search for the professor at once,

before the treasure is stolen.

Come on. Everyone's coming with.

No way am I leaving them here -

not with those two hamsters who've decided to start a collection!

Huh. The robot took all his documents.

There are no clues left.

Hmm. We'll see about that.

Tell me exactly what happened when the professor made his discovery.

My master got up to dance with me and then he...

Wait - more precisely. How did you dance?

Well, he held the tips of my wings, like this.

Why?

Mm-hm. Then...?

Then he picked up the phone to call the museum.

Just then, someone knocked at the door.

He went to open it...

Here is a clue!

Mm-hm...

What, the pen? It just proves that he was taking notes.

I figured that out a long time ago.

How did this pen,

which indeed corresponds to the colour of his notes -

thank you, Bro -

end up here on the carpet?

Probably when my master fell to the ground.

No. When he started dancing, he held your wings with his two hands.

This means he set his notebook and pen down before dancing.

Why isn't the pen on the desk? You're right!

When I took the notebook off the desk, the pen wasn't there.

Your master must have grabbed it as he fell to the ground.

I think he wanted to leave a message before he passed out!

Bingo! A coded message!

(GASPS DRAMATICALLY)

Follow me! What are you doing?

We need to decode it. Not enough time.

We have to move fast - the robot will be back any minute.

BOTH: What?!

The camera behind the curtain. We're being watched.

I reckoned we had several minutes from the moment we came in.

We mustn't dawdle. Hurry!

Oh - looks like you reckoned wrong.

Capture parrot!

Oh!

No! We have to help him!

The shield - follow me!

ROBOT: Bring parrot back.

Help! Clever!

Hurry, Champollion! We have to leave!

Champollion, get out!

Follow me!

Whoa, aargh!

Look out!

Aaah! No!

Eliminate threat.

Look! The magnets made his foot bug!

Hurry up! Pick up as many as you can!

(BOTH YELL)

No...

Help! Clever!

(SNORES)

(GASPS, YAWNS)

I had a real cool robot dream.

The robot - he kidnapped Champollion!

We have to hurry and find them

before something serious happens to Champollion.

The code!

Instead of writing an address, he wrote his telephone number.

Pah! He was already seriously in a daze.

Hmm. The 1 in the middle is odd.

It's tilted, almost on its side.

Well, it's not easy to write when you're falling asleep on the floor.

I forgive him for his messy 1.

No - it's not a 1.

Look at the other 1 - there's no underscore.

Just two lines,

whereas the 1 in the middle has three.

It's an N! I got it! I know how to find them!

Uh, what does an N change?

Everything!

'Cause it means that the last 4 could be the letter W.

North and west coordinates!

All we have to do is enter them into that tablet over there

to get the precise location.

Camden Town Square.

We're going to need back-up.

I think the time has come to call Mac.

Hmm. I don't see any treasure here.

We're not looking for the treasure yet.

What we're looking for is the secret entrance to the Camden Catacombs.

Hmph. May as well be searching for a flea in a pack of Irish setters.

It could be anywhere. Ha!

I think I've found your flea, detective.

This is a clepsydra - it's a sort of water clock.

I saw one in the professor's notebook.

It's a sign used by the Templars.

The what? The knights who hid the treasure.

Try and keep up, Mac! Hmm.

Hmm. The snake's head was also a symbol used by the Templars.

Ooh! I have a clue.

There is no water!

Huh. And there are bits of rust on the stones right beneath the faucet.

(CHUCKLES) Welcome to the secret entrance

of the Camden Town Catacombs.

Detective, could you turn the snake's head, please?

(RUMBLING)

Whoa.

By Nessie! It would seem you have a gift for attracting curiosities.

We agree, right? We free Champollion and we skedaddle.

The rest is an affair for Scotland Yard.

Whoa. These metal grids are nothing like the ones in our cage.

Hmm...

MAN: Hurry up, professor! Time is running out!

ARTHUR: I need more time! It's not that simple.

The Templars protected the treasures with enigmas and a malediction.

But I'm close.

The malediction of the Templars is only a legend!

Hey - I'd recognise that villainous face anywhere!

It's Bartok!

Yes!

He's the one who tried to steal the Book of the Knights Templar

during our last investigation!

They wanted the treasure from the start!

Apparently he used his knowledge of electronics

to make a robot henchman.

The room is here, behind this wall.

But the Templars protected it with one last enigma.

Now you'll understand why they needed Champollion.

Huh?

You wouldn't want your dear parrot to lose any feathers, would you?

Oh! To force the professor to cooperate!

Hmm, not cool.

Wait. I'm close.

Then hurry up! You have three minutes!

(GROANS)

Hmm.

(GASPS)

This stone groove is not a water drain.

It's a representation of the Thames! The Thames!

The floor of the room is a giant map of London!

These are medieval monuments!

We must press down on three paving stones one after the other,

those which correspond

to the Templars' monuments in the 12th century -

St Clement Danes Church,

Temple Church

and Baynard's Castle.

Good job, professor.

After you. Robot, stay here.

We must intervene at once!

So, here's the plan -

we throw the entire collection of magnets at the robot,

one for each part of its body -

foot, calf, thigh, arm.

Come on, guys - this is your moment of glory!

Once the robot has been immobilised,

we free Champollion.

Now! Wha...? Huh?

Go! Yah!

Yeah!

Humph!

You see? A collection can be super useful.

Over here, Clever!

I need to keep at least four different ones for the collection.

Huh? What are you doing?

Now it will be able to move its fingers!

Pwah!

Other than saying, "Cooley, cooley," what can it do with its fingers?

Hmm...

MAC: Let me help you, Clever.

(GASPS) Who did that?!

The robot!

Police! Put us down, right now!

You're digging yourself in a deeper hole!

Ooh! By my chequered vest!

Aaah! Yah!

Don't waste your time. There's no chance of that Knight Templar moving.

You should have left your magnets on the robot!

(GROANS) I warned him.

But Mr Bro always thinks he's smarter.

(GRUNTS)

I'll get that robot! Unless you're not strong enough to lift a lid.

Hush! Bartok is coming.

They've found the treasure!

Bartok got what he wanted.

Now he'll free the professor and his parrot, right?

I'm afraid not.

(CHUCKLES) Thank you for everything, professor.

(COUGHS) Please, don't hurt Champollion!

(GROANS)

(SNORES)

(BEEPING)

Oh, no. That's what I feared!

Bartok programmed his robot to explode,

so that there will be no witnesses of his theft!

(GASPS) It's horrible!

Oh, gosh! How will we ever get out of here?

This lid weighs more than an old English mastiff!

Stay calm. We'll use the properties of resonance.

Echo!

Well, this coffin doesn't resonate very well.

Repeated vibrations can create a physical phenomenon called resonance,

which causes an object subjected to it to burst.

Hmm. If you say so. And how do we go about that?

(CLANGING)

Whoa, crazy!

I hope it works fast.

We're saved!

Eliminate threat.

We're done for!

We won't be able to evacuate Champollion and the professor

before the explosion!

The only solution is to neutralise the robot.

But...how? I know - follow me!

I hate serving as bait!

Eliminate threat.

CLEVER: Now!

(GRUNTS)

Ah!

Clever! I don't want to sleep!

Yah!

Now, detective!

(GRUNTS) Hurry, Clever - only 40 seconds left!

Huh?

Oh, no. The interface is locked!

I can't stop the countdown!

(GASPS) CHAMPOLEON: Watch out!

ROBOT: Self-destruction in 20 seconds.

(GASPS)

(THINKS) Oh, think, Clever! Think, Clever!

I know! Bro, Mac - the broom!

Self destruction in 10...

Lie down, Terminator!

..7, 6, 5,

4, 3,

2, 1...

CHAMPOLEON: Ah! Well done, Clever!

Ah! MAC: Oh, my gosh.

Oh, by my cheddar doggie biscuits,

that was a close call!

Too bad we couldn't stop Bartok.

It's not too late.

Quick - help me press down on the paving stone

that corresponds to the Tower of London.

(GRUNTS)

(RUMBLING)

Aah! The malediction!

Aaah!

(CLANG!)

How did you know that this paving stone controlled the portcullises?

From the moment we arrived,

I searched for the mechanism that controlled the gates.

I knew it could be useful to prevent someone from stealing the treasure.

I understood that the Templars had built the sanctuary

starting from the central room and moving outwards.

I deduced that one of the paving stones activated the portcullises

and in the 12th century, the Tower of London was a prison.

Well, I'll alert my bloodhounds.

They'll lead the human police here.

Champollion, in the meantime,

you should stay with the professor

and we'll go see if we caught something.

(GROANS) No-one even cares about how my magnets are doing.

Oh!

(SNORES)

Bingo! Bartok is stuck.

He won't be able to raise the portcullises.

The police will take care of him.

Hey - hey, wait! Are you not curious to see what's inside the chest?

Maybe the Templars collected magnets!

Bartok was arrested.

We won't be seeing him around anytime soon.

The treasure chest contained a sort of ugly medieval sector.

The humans rushed to exhibit it at the British Museum

alongside the great book.

Hey! Hmm?

Bro! We got the chinchilla back!

Pah!

Listen to me, Bro - it's thanks to your collection that our plan worked.

OK. I've gotta start all over.

But on the bright side,

the chinchilla will be the first piece of my new collection!

Hmm.

Since you have no more collection,

we won't be able to look at it for three minutes a day.

Our agreement is cancelled.

It'll be the first piece of OUR collection!

After all, we took all the risks to recover it from Brian's mug.

You?! All the risks?! (LAUGHS)

Oh, come on!

(LAUGHS) (CHUCKLES)
