(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)

Argh!

(GIGGLES)

(BOTH SCREAM)

(TRAFFIC BUZZES)

(KNOCKS)

Ah, come in.

Everyone's here.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Make yourself at home.

Whatever you do, don't touch anything.

Everything is expensive and fragile.

What can I say? I'm the pet of a star.

(CHUCKLES) Wow. Thanks, Tyron. This is great!

Your master must totally trust you.

No, silly. He's gone for two days. (LAUGHS)

And he'll be none the wiser if you don't goof up.

Look, everything is automated. (MUSIC PLAYS)

The lights, the music, the blinds, TV, vacuum cleaner.

I can control the entire house with this.

Wow!

(MUSIC SWITCHES OFF) ALL: Huh?

That wasn't me.

Hey, it stopped working!

Isn't there a reset button?

You want me to... Don't be a donkey.

It's stuck. Everything is stuck!

Argh!

What?!

What's going on? Tyron, do something.

It's stifling in here!

(GROANS)

The door's locked!

This one too!

Move aside! You bunch of ninnies!

Let me through! I'm hot!

(ALL SIGH)

(BLEEPING) (MENACING LAUGHTER)

Typical Tyron - only thinks about himself.

Never his friends in danger.

What?!

Who's there?! Who's talking?!

Your judge.

And under my reign of justice

you idiots of good birth all deserve to be punished!

Happy baking!

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Can anybody hear us?! Anybody?! Help!

The door! Open the door! Please!

Can you hear us?! I'm going to faint!

(YELLING CONTINUES)

Lloyd, do you hear that? Hurry!

Help us!

(GLASS SMASHES)

Hurry up! Everyone outside! Come on!

(ALL MOAN, GROAN)

One at a time. Alright, this way.

Everything's fine now. Everything's fine.

Everybody, stay calm.

You're all safe now.

What happened in there?

(BREATHES HEAVILY) A voi... A voi...

A voice.

It tried to cook me alive! Agh!

(TRAFFIC DRONES)

BRO: The champ runs to the right! (SNORES)

He dribbles like a professional!

The crowd is delirious!

You shouldn't practise in a cage this small.

There's a reason pros do it on a field.

He shoots!

And it's a...

Uh-oh.

Goal?

My ball!

That, for example, is one of the reasons soccer fields exist.

No, it's one of the reasons

you shouldn't write with a pencil that's too sharp!

Smart job.

That was the last ball in the shop.

If you had read the display stand on the counter,

you'd have known that your ball deflates and inflates endlessly

thanks to an integrated automatic valve.

(AIR HISSES)

(GASPS)

Whoa!

It's even cooler than I thought!

Oh!

A client!

Bro, during the investigation

your soccer ball needs to remain in soccer pancake mode.

(GROANS) OK, OK.

"I address you even when I'm silent."

Prediction? No. Too long.

This makes no sense.

Detective McFlair!

Ah! Clever, Bro, hello there.

You look like someone who's looking for the answer to a guessing game.

More like someone who can't find it.

Yes, that's right.

A guessing game that resembles a bad joke.

Listen to this.

One - I address you even when I'm silent.

It's hard avoiding me today.

Over the years I've moved into your homes

and I follow you on the street and in your cars.

Two - I can have wings, but I don't fly.

I can use air, but I don't breathe.

I'm inside every place you enter, but I'm very discreet.

Three - I can creep, fringe or hurt,

but I provide good boundaries.

Last - I can be spoken or written, but I'm not a word.

I express scorn and superiority despite my apparent absurdity.

Put together, they strut around London.

Punishment shall follow.

Stay on your guard, Detective, for this is only the beginning!

(SNICKERS)

(BLEEPS)

I found it yesterday afternoon in my kennel with no explanation.

I know! It's a game Of What Am I?

Agh! Ohh!

(TITTERS)

Was a public personality attacked last night?

Yes. Tyron, the star's pet.

It happened last night.

Huh? Hang on.

Don't tell me you've already resolved the riddle.

You should never underestimate me.

Number one is 'ad'.

Advertisements are everywhere today.

Number two is a 'vent', either in a room or in a car.

Number three is the 'edge' of an object.

And number four is 'duh', a haughty interjection.

Which all adds up to ad-vent-edge-duh.

Advantaged.

Since the message announces that a punishment will follow,

an advantaged person has been or soon will be attacked.

Advantage-duh.

Eh, it was on the tip of my tongue.

So, what happened to Tyron?

The room was locked automatically

and the heating turned up to maximum all on its own.

Fortunately, Travis and Lloyd were in the area,

otherwise the party guests would have been completely dehydrated.

Mm, the message also warns us that this is only the beginning.

Our mysterious Riddle Maker will no doubt attack again.

Another guessing game? Hmph!

Logically, yes.

It's a game of cat and mouse, all the while settling scores.

Let's hurry over to Tyron's place and see if we can find a trail.

I'm actually glad your agents broke the window.

My master will think that this whole mess is due to a robbery.

(LAUGHS) Interesting.

Hm, but most importantly, they saved your life.

Would you happen to have found a tape recorder somewhere

since the incident?

(SCOFFS) I'm not the police. Why don't you look for yourself?

Hm!

(SNIFFS)

Hmm...

Ah!

(BLEEPS)

Cool!

(GRUNTS)

Here's the main control.

(CHUCKLES)

(BLEEPS)

(CHUCKLES)

Whoa. Ha-ha!

(BLEEPS)

(GRUNTS)

Ha!

(BLEEPS) (CHUCKLES)

I have found nothing that resembles a mini tape recorder.

What have you unearthed?

It's glued shut! Agh.

Our mysterious adversary had everything planned.

He glued the casing of the box that controls the entire system

so that no-one could disconnect it.

You understand how this stuff works?

Yes.

Someone very skilled in computing

took remote control of all the electronic devices in the house.

They're connected to this box,

which in turn is connected to the Internet.

All mumbo-jumbo to me.

But what that means is the culprit is a real genius, right?

Exactly. And so he left no trails.

We'll have to play by his rules

and find the answer to his next riddle

before he launches his upcoming attack.

I sniffed around the entire loft, but found nothing.

Watch out! Uh...

(GRUNTS)

Hey, be careful with that ball!

Sorry, Mac!

Ooh, I know!

Where is the best place to leave a message? On the answering machine.

Bro, there must be a button on the remote control.

Mm-hm... Oh! Yep!

Ha!

RIDDLE MAKER: I hope you enjoyed my first riddle, Detective.

Here's another teeny, tiny one,

like the brain of those it describes.

One - I have limits, otherwise I'm not what I am.

But I can also be infinite in some contexts.

Everything I'm not is obscure.

Two - you can't do it right without an ear.

Last - in England they fall next to cats, though they prefer walks.

Put together, they strut around London.

Stay focused, Detective! The game carries on! (CHUCKLES)

This animal is making a mockery of us!

To be more precise, Detective, he's making a mockery of YOU.

Hmph!

Rays! Rays have limits, yet are infinite.

And to sing you need a good ear.

And in England it rains cats and dogs!

Rays-sing-dogs!

By Nessie! There's a greyhound race tomorrow with all the champs.

There's only one champ - Flash.

Bro is right. The Riddle Maker is not going to attack athletes in general,

rather one single one -

the greatest of all.

(GASPS) Hurry! Flash is in danger!

Let's go.

Phew! He's fine.

He's sleeping like a champion.

The box is locked.

Fortunately, the place isn't packed with electronic devices

like Tyron's place.

With the exception of the treadmill and the blower.

Bro, wake Flash up and tell him to get away from the installation.

Detective, we need to quickly find where to cut the electricity.

Hm.

Hey, Mr Flash.

Mr Flash, I'm sorry, but you really need to wake up.

(SNORES)

Hey! Wake up!

Wake up!

Oo-ooh! Mr Flash!

Hey!

Huh?

Argh!

What's going on?!

I swear it wasn't me!

I was just supposed to wake you up before it happened!

Argh!

(WIND WHOOSHES) (ITEMS CLATTER)

(GROANS)

(GASPS) By my chequered vest!

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS) Are you OK?

Uh... Thank you, Clever.

The practice session was rather intense.

Unfortunately, it was no thanks to me.

The electrical board is locked. The machine stopped on its own.

Could someone please tell me what's going on here?

Wait a second.

Flash, is the flow of this machine reversible?

Uh... No, not normally.

Hey!

(WIND WHOOSHES)

(ITEMS CLATTER)

(GROANS) Whoa!

No! No! Agh!

Agh-agh-agh-agh!

Quick, Clever! We have to help them!

I know!

Flash! Get me to the other side!

(SCREAMS) Whoa! No!

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Whoa-whoa-whoa!

Agh!

Whoa!

(GRUNTS)

Whoa-whoa-whoa!

Hurry, Clever!

(GRUNTS)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

No more electricity - no more danger.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

(SIGHS)

(BLEEPING) Detective.

What was that about?

Yeah, well, a terrible thing happened. It was an attack.

But you're no longer in danger.

An attack? But from who?

Uh... Other than that, do you sign autographs?

Detective, our adversary is always one step ahead of us.

He's manipulating us.

We must anticipate his next target.

First a famous star's dog, then a sports champion. And then?

Hmm... Who is more famous than Flash?

Other than the Queen?

(GASPS) Oh, my goodness! I need to get back for the Queen.

I'm off to the kennel at Scotland Yard.

Meanwhile, we'll set out in search of the next riddle.

Hmm... He necessarily put it in a part of the room

that would not be affected by the blower.

Bingo! It's here.

RIDDLE MAKER: Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Time for Riddle number three!

I hope you will savour it. It's a real beauty.

One - we can be in the back or in the front. Sometimes both.

Hard to come by in the city. We thrive in the country.

Home to many, we are the property of the biggest ones.

Two - I hang from a line before I rise in the air.

Wha... I'm the fourth out of seven.

Last.

Three - I can be anything as long as I'm not what I used to be.

I am what I am.

Put together, he struts around London.

And don't forget each second counts!

(LAUGHS)

Number one are the back and front yards of houses.

Bravo, Flash! That's correct!

Number three is 'rest'.

It's just a piece of what it used to be and it can be a piece of anything.

And with 'rest' and 'struts around London'...

Swag-erest? The cleverest?

Number two - the fourth out of seven

is the musical note D.

Yards. D. Rest.

(GASPS) Yards-D-rest!

It's Detective McFlair!

Come on, we'll catch up with him!

(PANTS)

Travis, go wake up Lloyd. We must get the Queen to safety at once.

I'll explain along the way. OK, Boss.

Lloyd. Lloyd!

Detective! Huh? Clever?

Detective?!

We're ready, Boss.

Huh?

Right, hurry to the palace and escort the Queen into the park

far from any electronic gadgets.

I'll meet you there.

Detective?!

Hmm...

Trevor, where are you? We must hurry to the palace.

Detective?! Hm?

(BLEEPING) Huh?

Whoa!

Mac!

Mac?!

Oh, they must have already left for the palace.

Detective?!

RECORDING: Detective?! (ALL GASP)

Hey, why are you echoing and not me?

RECORDING: Detective?!

A recording! We have to hurry!

Mac! Detective!

Wait!

Agh! What was that?!

He booby-trapped the removable workbench.

Nice shot, Bro. Heh-heh!

Detective, can you hear me?!

Oh, my head.

What happened?

Come on, get up. We need to get out of here at onc...

(DOOR SLAMS)

(GASPS) Too late.

We were fooled like amateurs.

The door has a magnetic lock that can be piloted from a distance.

(GROANS)

The window doesn't open either. Agh.

(RINGING)

RIDDLE MAKER: Good evening. Good evening.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Now that you're nicely settled in

time for the final riddle.

It's very simple. Everyone ready? Here it is.

One - though not edible,

I am crackers, nuts and cookie all at once.

Two - I am half of a fool.

Three - I am in your shirts, your plates and your cups.

Put together, she struts around petting him.

Mad-jest-T.

(GASPS) Her Majesty The Queen!

The Queen! Thank goodness I sent a team.

(LAUGHS) You reacted exactly like I hoped.

Your team will escort the Queen into the park

to protect her from electronic gadgets.

But inside the park there's worse.

You see, I can take control of certain vehicles.

(GASPS)

He must be able to control smart vehicles from a distance.

Bravo, Detective.

But you'll never get there in time.

You'll be stuck here forever.

(LAUGHS) No, no, no. There's no way out. I thought of everything.

Buck-buck-buck, the police are stuck.

Ping, ping, ping, fingers are dancing.

Purr, purr, purr, a queen in danger.

I'll leave you now. I have a meeting with more important people.

(LAUGHS)

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

Hmm...

Seeing as how we're stuck here,

you want to play two-against-two?

Oh, I'll be on Flash's side!

Hm? Bro, you're fantastic!

Yes!

Hm? Fault! Hey, you can't play with your hands.

(GRUNTS)

(GLASS SMASHES)

Wow! Whoa!

Oh, by Nessie! I'm on Clever's side.

(TYRES SKID)

We must quickly save the Queen! I'll run and warn them!

Even if Flash beats his record,

he'll never reach the palace park in time to warn them.

There's another way to help her.

Hm? Go that way, Detective.

By my chequered vest, Clever. You have to tell me how you do it.

ALL: Huh?

(ALL GASP)

What's that?

Nothing good, if you want my opinion.

(ENGINE RUMBLES)

RIDDLE MAKER: Pleased to meet you, Your Majesty.

(ENGINE ROARS)

Run! Fast! This way!

This is it.

Bingo!

Quick! Quick!

Huh? Police! You're under arrest!

What? How did you...

Hurry. Follow me. We must leave the park and seek shelter.

You might have escaped my trap, but you can't arrest me.

An army couldn't arrest me.

Oh, by my chequered vest. What on earth is it this time?

Pre-programmed automated lawnmowers!

Run!

(GRUNTS)

(LAUGHS)

This way.

BRO: So, what's the plan?! 'Cause I don't need a new haircut!

(GROANS)

Ha-ha! I fear that our queen's end is near.

(ALL PANT)

(ALL PANT)

Ohh!

Oh-oh-oh!

Agh! Ohh!

Oh, no!

(LOUD WHIRRING)

I know! Bro, Bro, we create a diversion.

You can demonstrate your free kicks.

I was so hoping you'd say that!

Now!

It's just you and me now.

Ow!

Agh.

(TYRES SKID)

(CRASHES)

G-o-o-o-o-a-a-a-a-l!

Phew.

Ah.

Well done, lad!

Ha-ha! Hey, did you see that?

Bravo, champion!

(GROANS)

Your Majesty, are you alright?

Oh.

What happened?

Good evening, Majesty.

Oh! Clever!

You're out of danger now. We've neutralised the Riddle Maker.

Not such a smart alec without a joystick, are we?

You'll be able to boast about having caught Ingenious,

the most intelligent animal in the world.

Pfft. 'Ingenious'?!

Wow! Cool supervillain name!

(CHORTLES)

(TITTERS) I'm sorry. The most what?

Intelligent.

I know human technology by heart.

I watch humans all day long,

and my super brain records every bit of information

in order to reproduce it later.

But why do you attack innocent people?

Innocent?

Privileged society - they're all show-offs.

They think they're the best, but they have no merits.

I am the most intelligent creature.

Everybody should respect ME.

(CHUCKLES) You just forgot one little detail.

Ha! What? Clever the great detective?

Not only.

Your pride.

You're the one who put me on your trail

by giving me too much information.

Pah! You just got lucky.

There was no camera in the dog handler's room.

When you talked about my fingers

I knew you were spying on us directly.

I looked up and saw your window lit by the light of your computer,

so, I quite simply saw YOU.

Like I said, pride is a nasty flaw.

Ha!

(TRAFFIC DRONES)

Mm. That's a real soccer ball.

Where did you find that?

Flash gave it to me to thank us for having saved him twice.

Well, you can get it out of here and throw it away right now.

You'll never be able to blow that one up.

Oh, yes, I will.

I adapted the inflation system of my small ball to this one.

Watch out!

Huh? Bro?

N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

(BOTH GRUNT)

So, how do we play now?

Um... We might need to deflate it just a tad.

Uh... Can you reach the button from where you are?

(SIGHS)
