(THEME MUSIC)

Ha! (CHUCKLES)

(BOTH SCREAM)

(BIG BEN STRIKES, THUNDER CRACKS)

Detective! Detective McFlare!

(THUNDER CRACKS) Code orange!

Detective? Hmm! Hmm!

Agent Paxton, you'd better have a good reason

for dragging me out of bed in the middle of the night.

Affirmative, Detective.

Code orange.

A what?

I've classified alerts by colour to make them more user-friendly.

Orange is rather on the serious side.

Hm, Paxton,

if you're the only one who knows your code, it serves no purpose.

Tell me what's going on!

Uh, OK, Detective. Here it is. (THUNDER CRACKS)

We must immediately open an investigation into...

By my chequered vest!

Aagh!

(EXCLAIMS, MUFFLED)

Mmph!

Hmm!

(THUD!)

(THUNDER CLASHES)

(EXCLAIMS, MUFFLED)

Detective?

(GRUNTS) Aagh!

Aaaaaaagh!

Code red! Code red!

(THUNDER CLASHES)

(SNORES)

Don't worry, Detective.

Clever will rapidly come to your rescue.

But, unfortunately, this will be her last investigation.

(BELL JINGLES)

Hello? Special delivery!

Thanks. Have a nice day.

(YAWNS)

Fleagh! Old scene. (STOMACH RUMBLES)

Ugh! I'm hungry.

Look - Brian just took out a new package of grains!

Boy, they sure look yummy!

Wanna share yesterday's leftovers in the meantime?

That stale old stuff?

You can finish it off if you want.

I'm waiting for the new grub.

(MUFFLED) You sure?

I'm warning you, there's a strong probability

that Brian will not feed us before a long time.

Mm... Mm! Mmm! (CHUCKLES)

Flugh! Don't be silly.

He's coming right now.

I want the good grain.

Brian's new girlfriend will call any second now.

And when they talk on the phone, it lasts for hours.

Brian? A new girlfriend?

And even if he had one, why should she call now?

Come on, come on. That's enough for them!

Yum! Mm!

I'm finishing up, OK?

So, I have a ton of evidence that proves that Brian has a girlfriend.

(HUMS HAPPILY)

I noticed that whenever Brian laughs stupidly on the phone...

(PHONE RINGS) ..it's always the same time of day.

Hello. How are you? And this is the time.

Trust me - she's gonna call any minute now.

Oh! She can't be that precise. (PHONE RINGS)

Aha!

Hello, my love... But...

I made statistics -

of the last 12 calls, none were more than three minutes late.

She's very punctual.

Oh. We have a client!

Nooooooooo-ugh!

(STOMACH RUMBLES)

Bro, you know the rule - investigations cannot wait.

Hey, Snowflake!

Toss me a few super grains over here, quick!

No way. They're too good to share.

You wait your turn.

But I can't wait. There's a client!

Come on. Don't be stingy.

Where's your rodent solidarity?

Oh, alright.

But just one.

You're a swell pal.

My precious!

I am going to savour you.

What is he do...? Whoa!

Oh, no! Ugh!

(CRUNCH!)

(GASPS) Aw! No, Travis!

My precious!

Huh? Uh, you're not gonna eat that, are ya?

Aw, no.

Not a big fan of mashed grains with paw-pad sauce.

Lieutenant Travis, what has happened to Detective McFlare?

Detective McFlare has been dognapped!

Hm. That's what I feared.

What makes you think that?

His doghouse was empty this morning

and there were signs of struggle on the ground,

which was rather muddy after last night's rain.

But those tracks will soon disappear.

Was McFlare working on an investigation?

Hm. Not that I know of.

No time to lose.

Let's go to the kennel and see if we can't find a trail.

Hey, wait!

Did you know that the secret of a successful investigation

was starting it off with a real breakfast?

Bro, in the case of a dognapping, every second counts.

Come on!

Hm?

There was a pigeon near McFlare's doghouse.

It slid across the ground and crashed over there.

The detective stamped his feet here

and then was propelled into the air.

Considering the size of the impact mark,

he must have been seriously dazed.

Hm, looks like the pigeon took flight,

then fell to the ground...over there.

As for the assailant, it's very strange -

he or she left no traces at all.

Unless it's these two little marks.

Improbable.

Hm.

Isn't there usually a cart around here?

From time to time, the dog handlers use a cart

to transport bags of dry dog food.

Dog food?!

I'll go and search McFlare's doghouse.

I saw wheel marks on the ground, but I double-checked -

the gate is still locked.

And the key to the gate? Out of reach.

It's safely tucked away inside the dog handler's office.

Out of reach?

Hm. Are you sure?

(SPITS)

Yuck! How can anyone eat this stuff?

(BLING!)

A trail? A piece of McFlare's vest.

Here's another one!

I think we have a trail going this way.

Hm. This all seems a bit too obvious to me.

Travis found the trail! Come on!

The quicker we find Mac, the quicker we can have breakfast.

I think I've understood what's cooking.

Hm.

Huh? Quick! They're here!

You were right, Clever - there's a pigeon, too.

It's Agent Paxton!

OK, so, this is how we're gonna play it.

Boss? Boss? Can you hear me?

Don't insist.

They were given sleeping pills

before being transported.

(DOOR SLAMS)

It's locked!

Keep calm. I anticipated this.

Look.

The edges of these pieces of fabric were cut out, not torn.

Our mysterious adversary lured us into this cold room to get rid of us.

(WHIRRING)

And that noise is the cooling circuit.

He'll lower the temperature to -20 degrees Celsius

in less than 10 minutes.

What?! If you knew, then why did you let us fall into the trap?!

So that our adversary would believe we were out of his way.

Oh! We're gonna freeze to death!

Your plan is rubbish!

We'll use the emergency press-button entry system to unlock the door.

I checked the wear and tear on the punch pad buttons at the entrance,

and it was obvious that zero, one, four and nine

are the four combination digits,

which leaves...only 24 possibilities.

This will quickly be settled.

(BUTTONS BEEP - BUZZ!)

(BUTTONS BEEP - DING!)

Ah! It's warmer out here. (STOMACH RUMBLES)

Oh, yeah, I forgot -

before freezing to death I was starving to death.

Travis, you should take McFlare and Paxton back to the kennel

to see if...

Duh, hey, boss, shouldn't they be inside instead of outside?

Of course, you idiot.

She was very clear about it.

They must not leave this place alive.

OK, rats. (WHISTLES)

Plan B.

(GASPS) Ugh!

(WHISTLES)

Huh?

Yaaaah!

Yah!

Freeze! Stop where you are!

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Oh...!

Whoa!

Huh! Whoa-whoa!

Hurry, Clever!

Seek cover!

Police! Put down your arms!

(CLANK!)

Travis! No!

I'm gonna get them.

Yah-ugh!

Aaagh!

(ALL EXCLAIM)

Yeah!

(CLATTERING)

Oh, come on!

(LAUGHS EVILLY)

(GASPS)

The oil can!

Whooooooaaaaagghh!

(CRASH!)

TRAVIS: Ugh.

Huh?

I don't understand why the dock rats dognapped McFlare and Paxton.

Well, let's think.

Last night, Paxton visibly witnessed something he wasn't supposed to.

B'agh!

He decided to warn his superior and went to find McFlare.

But the culprit saw him and followed him.

He attacked just as Paxton was about to tell McFlare.

The culprit had no choice - he had to get rid of them.

But he also knew that the great detective Clever

would investigate into their disappearance.

So he decided to leave an obvious trail

in order to lure her into a trap.

And this crew of dimwits were supposed to make sure

we were tightly locked inside the cold room.

Correct.

This means that a crime must be taking place

at this very moment

and they didn't want me to foil the operation.

But where exactly?

We need to know what Paxton was watching last night.

He's in charge of the entire Tottenham Court district.

It's rather big.

Huh!

Paxton! Can you hear me?!

Agh!

This isn't sleep - it's more like hibernation mode.

Take them back to Scotland Yard, Lieutenant, and try to wake them up.

Bro and I will continue the investigation here.

Hm. I wonder what Paxton could've seen.

And I wonder what I'll be able to find to eat.

Hm.

There must be a clue, something.

Hm. This Scotch tape was used to bind the victims.

Maybe...

Look! There's some kind of watermark on it!

This shape really reminds me of something, but what?

(GASPS)

The British Museum!

(GASPS) I know where Paxton was in post last night!

(STOMACH RUMBLES) I hope it was in a bakery.

Sunflower seeds. What?!

Scotland Yard pigeons are known for nibbling on this type of grain

during surveillance missions.

Pfah! Nothing but shells.

Inedible.

What could Paxton have seen from up here?

There. This one's not locked.

Someone entered through that hatch.

Follow me.

Look - the gallery.

Someone has been secretly living in this forgotten part of the museum

for some time now,

and Paxton realised it last night.

Looks like the guy is super interested

in this big, fat, ugly book.

It's the Book of the Knight Templar.

Someone hid here to prepare the theft of this book,

and he is about to take action.

(DOOR OPENS)

(WHISPERS) It must be our thief. We have to stop him!

Whoa! We're inside the museum!

There he is.

Whoa!

(GASPS)

FOOOOOOOD!

Now's not the time!

Oh!

Wow! So much food in such a tiny box!

Huh!

(CRASH!)

(SIGHS) At last! Breakfast!

Ugh! Bro, your stomach will be the doom of me.

Mm...mm... This darn snack is rubbery.

It's chewing gum.

It's meant to chew, not swallow, dummy.

Focus now - he's almost reached the book.

Bro! Look - it's Bartok!

Mm... (GASPS)

He's the guy who tried to rig the greyhound race!

But we got him arrested!

That means...

We know who attacked McFlare and Paxton -

Artemis.

And here we have our prying snoopers.

I should've guessed sooner. Bartok's shrew!

Such a tiny creature capable of such giant leaps.

Hey! I'm almost as big as you!

Oh, yeah? Remove your electronic chip and let's see.

This time, my master programmed it

with the agility and power of a fearsome animal -

the puma!

(FLY BUZZES)

Last time a monkey, now a puma?

Well, I've seen it all.

That's right. Let me show you.

Aah! Run, Clever!

Nyah! Hah!

(LAUGHS)

Hm.

Bro! Do like me!

Huh?

Yaaagh!

(CREAKING)

Aaagh!

Yaagh!

Come on. We can still catch Bartok.

The Scotch tape.

Finally, the book is mine!

Whoa!

Ouch!

We need to bring the book back and set off the alarm.

Filthy rodents!

Huh! (SIGHS)

Uh-oh.

Hyah! The mouse escaped again.

Hah!

Baggage inspection.

Oof!

Ugggh! Agh!

You're going to regret this!

(BOTH SCREAM)

(LAUGHS)

Huh? What just happened?

The book! The book!

Artemis, there you are.

Let's get out of here before the police arrive!

Nighty-night, snoopers.

(ALARM BLARES) (COUGHS)

It's impossible to get out!

There's no question of letting the mouse get away.

Hang on a second.

Give me your gum.

Are you sure this is the moment for a chewing gum break?

Hm!

OK. I have a few left.

The one that's already been chewed! Hurry!

Bleagh.

Gross.

Come on!

Whoa! How cool!

Yaaagh!

You wanna make the world's highest jump?

Ooh! I was so hoping you would ask me that.

Huh! Yahoo!

Yah!

And the puma becomes a mouse once again.

What?! No!

(POP!)

Hm.

Go on, Bro! You can still catch him!

Rawr! Puma Bro is gonna kick your butt!

Yaagh!

Aaaaagh!

(SIRENS APPROACH)

Aaagh!

Huh! Bro?

(CHUCKLES)

McFLARE: Thank you, Clever.

We were in an awful mess this time.

Ugh! Hngh!

You have a nice day at Greenside.

There'll be bugs for sure, but not software ones.

I have a hard time believing

it was that mouse who attacked Paxton and I.

With Bartok's technology, her capacities were increased tenfold

and she used them to protect her master.

When she saw that Paxton was going to denounce him,

she decided to take action.

Hm. The guards didn't find her master.

We don't know where he went.

Bartok had surely planned an escape route after his theft.

Uh, shouldn't we maintain a code yellow until he's found?

Paxton, what did I say about your incomprehensible codes?

Uh, is that a level 2 reproach, boss?

Paxton! (CLEVER AND BRO LAUGH)

OK, Now that the investigation is over,

I'm gonna have myself a feed!

Empty?

Snowflake and Charcoal!

(BOTH SNORE)

You ate my grains?!

We couldn't help ourselves.

The new ones are so delicious!

And you two were gone.

Don't worry. Brian will give you some more - uh, tomorrow.

(LAUGHS)

Tomorrow?

RAAAAAAAAGGGHH!

HUNGRY! HUNGRY!

Aagh! Aagh!

(MUNCHES)

(BABBLES) Hm. Goldfish food.

Bro! Yuck!

(MUNCHES)
