(EXCITING THEME MUSIC)

Hah! (CHUCKLES)

(BOTH SCREAM)

(CLINK!)

(MYSTERIOUS VOICE WHISPERS)

(BELL TOLLS)

(THUNDER CRACKS)

(LIGHT FOOTSTEPS PATTER)

(DETECTIVE McFLARE PANTS)

Stop! Police!

(GRUMBLES AND SNIFFS)

By Nessie, he disappeared into thin air!

Hmm? (GRUMBLES)

(SNIFFS)

Travis, I lost him.

He can't be far. We've surrounded the entire neighbourhood.

And Paxton and his squadron are covering the zone too.

Let's split up. But be careful, Lieutenant Travis.

He's very dangerous.

(HUFFS)

(SNIFFS)

Huh?

There he is!

Travis, come with me.

There!

Don't let him out of your wing-sight.

(POLICE DOG BARKS)

(SNARLS)

He turned into this dead end. He's trapped.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Oh, no! What the...?

We're too late. He got away.

(SNIFFS)

Huh?! He knocked through the brick. Impossible!

Well, it's not for nothing

that he's called the Nibbler.

(THUNDER CRACKS)

(SNORES) (FRANTIC SQUEALING)

Please! Robbery. Someone help me!

Please! Please help me! (YAWNS)

(SIGHS) Please! Please!

(LISPS) Hey, Clever. What's going on?

Huh?

Clever?

Clever, where are you?

I'm telling you, someone stole it.

There aren't any thieves in here.

Why don't you just admit you lost it?

A thief could very well have entered during the night.

Who would want to steal that?

Besides, everything's locked at night.

Well, maybe it's you, then?

Oh, a robbery! Cool!

I'm taking over!

After all, I am a professional detective.

Ah, Bro. He'll prove that I'm right.

OK, we'll hire a detective.

But, hey, why don't we ask Clever?

Uh, this case wouldn't interest her.

You've never led an investigation without her.

Phhh! I do not need Clever to resolve a mystery.

(CHUCKLES)

(BOTH GRUMBLE)

If I investigate properly according to the rules,

I will find your...your... (STAMMERS)

What are we looking for?

A super-cool pea shooter.

As for the list of suspects,

we could start off with Mr Charcoal here.

He seems awfully happy that it disappeared.

I admit I was tired of being hit even when I was far away from the target.

But I'm not a thief. How about a liar?

Stop it! First, we need to search for clues.

Where was the pea shooter last seen?

Oh, right here.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

(CHIMING)

The signal!

Clever's gonna call me any second now.

Sorry, I'll have to put this case on hold until we settle the real one.

BOTH: The real one?

Look, who cares.

I have no choice.

She's gonna call me in three, two, one.

That's odd.

In fact, has anyone seen Clever today?

Uh, no.

Come to think of it, we haven't.

Hmm.

Clever?

(CALLS OUT) Clever?! Clever?

Clever, where are you?

Clever?

No-one. Let's go check out the office.

Yeah. I always dreamed about opening the secret passage.

What?! No! It's my dream. Get out!

Ouch!

(GRUNTS) Whoa!

Oh!

It was me first. It's me!

Move over.

(ALL GRUMBLE) (CHUCKLES) Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

(RUMBLING) (HAMSTERS EXCLAIM)

(ALL GROAN)

Bro. None too soon.

I don't have all day. Where's Clever?

Is that McFlare? He's kind of small for a policeman, isn't he?

Hmm. He doesn't look super intelligent either.

Hmm.

Say, Mac, you wouldn't happen to have seen Clever, by any chance?

Oh, by Nessie, if I'm here, who do you think it's to see?

Tell her to hurry.

A fearsome thief named the Nibbler has escaped from Greenside Prison

and he's decided to vandalise every pet shop in town.

BOTH: Huh! The Nibbler?! Greenside?!

Yes, and he'll come and give you an earful if I don't stop him in time.

Argh! Not my ear. I use them!

(CHUCKLES) Well, anyhow, Clever could help us find his trail.

Well, first we need to find her trail.

She's been missing since this morning.

Uh, what?

We searched the entire shop.

Then we came to see if she was here but, ehh, no-one.

Hmpf! I bet my cheddar biscuits

she's already on the Nibbler's trail.

Impossible! She wouldn't have left without me.

Or she'd at least have told me.

Hmm. Maybe.

I'll send my sleuths to find her.

In the meantime, you and your playmates

are going to wait in your cages like good little hamsters.

Ohh! After Clever, the best detective is me!

It's a waste of hamster power to leave me in my cage.

The Nibbler has already vandalised multiple pet shops since his escape.

He could very well come here.

Here, take that.

Bleurgh!

Stay hidden inside your houses

and use this whistle to warn the officer on guard in the street.

A guard? A whistle?

Seriously?! Hmph! (PAW-STEPS RECEDE)

Argh! I'll show him who the best detective is.

We don't need the police. We have to hurry and find Clever.

She might be in danger.

Hey, what about my pea shooter?

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

How do you start off an investigation?

By searching for clues at the scene of the crime.

Crime?! That changes everything.

If there's a crime, count me out.

Hush, Snow! It's an expression.

For example, your stolen pea shooter's a crime.

Ah, so you admit it was stolen. Shhh!

The crime scene is right beneath your feet.

(SQUEAKS) Hmm. Interesting.

Some dry food. (SNIFFS)

(MUNCHES LOUDLY)

He's already stopping for his 11 o'clock snack?

(SWALLOWS)

Nice and crunchy.

Yet no-one was in the office yesterday.

This means someone must have left it here early this morning.

Otherwise it would be stale. Hmm.

Bingo!

And here's another clue

indicating that Clever received a visitor this morning.

What does a feather prove?

(SNIFFS)

A pigeon feather that smells like pizza?!

It proves that Alfred was here not very long ago.

(BOTH GASP)

My theory. (GROANS THOUGHTFULLY)

Clever got up at dawn,

grabbed a handful of seed mix, before going down to the office.

She met with Alfred and then...disappeared.

Pfft! (CLEARS THROAT)

Here's my theory. (GROANS THOUGHTFULLY)

MacFlare ate seed mix for breakfast.

A grain got stuck in his jowls and, since he splutters, it landed here.

Can I have the magnifying glass to see if there's any spittle over here?

Forget it, guys. Huh?

My theory. (GROANS THOUGHTFULLY)

(INSECTS AND BIRDS CHIRP PEACEFULLY)

(MOANS)

OK.

We'll summon the witness with my pigeon call.

(MOANS)

(POP!)

(BLOWS PIGEONLIKE CALL REPEATEDLY)

Again?

I do say. Adventure is calling on Alfred today.

Yes, I saw Clever early this morning.

Uh, and?

A few days ago, she asked me to keep an eye on the neighbourhood.

I was supposed to let her know if the Nibbler was in the area.

And you saw him prowling?

At dawn!

Huh? (GASPS)

BOTH: Prowling? In the area?

But he's not here now.

Otherwise I'd have used cunning to make sure he didn't see me.

I'm a shadow. A ninja.

Yes. OK, Alfred.

That doesn't tell us where Clever is.

Clever? She's not here?

Hey, you're right. Where is Clever?

Alfred, we called YOU here so that YOU could tell us.

She didn't say anything to me,

other than that she was very satisfied with my work.

Prowling? But why?

We should go inside our houses with McFlare's whistle.

Shh! First we have to find Clever.

The Nibbler doesn't attack during the day.

So we still have time.

And besides, Lloyd is watching the entrance.

What now?

Uh, looks like it does attack during the day too.

(SCARY MUSIC)

(GASPS) The Nibbler. He's here!

(ALL SCREAM)

The whistle. Where's the police whistle?

(LAUGHS EVILLY)

Emergency protection system.

(SNOWFLAKE SCREAMS) Alfred, block!

If he can eat through walls, he must be able to devour books.

We're just buying time.

(GROANS)

(CHUCKLES)

(RUSTLING)

Argh! I think he's started reading.

Snowflake, call the police.

Charcoal, grab the small yellow packet in my bag.

Alfred, on my signal, you drop the book

and fly up the pipe to hide in the shop.

(RUSTLING CONTINUES) Hurry! (GROANS)

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Why isn't it working?!

(BLOWS WHISTLE FRANTICALLY)

(SNORES)

(HUFFS AND PUFFS)

There.

OK, Charcoal.

On my signal, throw the packet as high as you can into the air.

Now!

(CHUCKLES EVILLY)

Ahh! What's that?

That's exactly what I was wondering.

Itching powder. Come on.

(GRUMBLES)

(GROANS) Ow!

Didn't they hear the whistle? Where are they?

You think they're taking a nap? We should go see.

Yeah, right. After you! I'm not going anywhere.

No, you go. Seeing as how you're just a nasty pea shooter thief.

(NIBBLER GRUMBLES AND SCRATCHES)

(LAUGHS AND GRUNTS)

I'm coming!

(SNOWFLAKE AND CHARCOAL SCREAM)

Calm down, guys.

Alfred, quick, help me get Brian's croquet ball.

(GULPS) (BRO GROANS)

Come on!

You dirty bunch of...

Ooch! Ouch! Eech! Oh! (THUD!)

(GROANS)

Yes!

He tries to crawl back up, throw more balls down.

One, we still don't know where Clever went.

Two, why does the Nibbler want to vandalise pet shops?

It makes no sense.

Maybe he's looking for something

that's hidden in one of London's pet shops,

so he's searching all of them.

OK, but what could he be looking for?

What if he were looking for Clever?

It's because of her that he was arrested

and sent to Greenside Prison, right?

So he's back for revenge. Hmm.

Unfortunately, he's out of luck.

Just the day that Clever disappeared.

He doesn't know which pet shop we live in,

and so he's coming through all of them.

To find out, I see only one solution -

capture him and ask him.

Whoa, awesome.

Are we gonna set a trap?

Not again!

(NIBBLER GROANS)

Ouch.

You'll get what you deserve, rodents.

I'll be back!

(ROLLICKING, INTRIGUING MUSIC)

SNOWFLAKE: It's your turn. CHARCOAL: It's your turn.

No, it's your turn.

No. No, no. I think it's mine.

Out of the question. No. Maybe it's yours.

(RADIO STATIC) This is Godzilla.

King? Kong? Do you copy?

This is King and Kong. Nothing to report.

The jungle is quiet.

Pterodactyl, do you copy?

This is Pero...Petrero...Petro...

I told you I preferred 'Pegasus'.

Pterodactyl, please follow protocol.

Otherwise we'll get confused.

Hmph! This is Perodactilis.

Nothing to report.

(RADIO STATIC) This is Kong.

We've been waiting for hours.

How long before we know if he's not coming?

This is King.

Maybe he went off to play croquet with the balls we gave him?

This is Godzilla speaking.

King, Kong, stay focused.

This is Pt... Oh! This is Alfred.

In my opinion, he's waiting for us to fall asleep.

(RUMBLING)

Look, he's coming. Get ready to welcome T-rex. Over and out.

(RUMBLING CONTINUES) (SWITCHES FLICK OFF)

(RUMBLING INTENSIFIES)

(PLASTER CRACKS)

It's your turn. No. Ah, no. I think it's mine.

No, no. I think it's mine. No, no, no. It's mine.

Maybe it's yours. I haven't played yet.

I've won, though. I haven't played yet.

No, it's my turn! No, no, I think it's mine.

I've got you, you little ro... What?!

Huh? RECORDING: I think it's mine.

I think it's mine.

Get that dirty rat!

Uhh! Argh!

What the...?

Argh!

BOTH: Ouch. Ouch.

(GROANS)

(HEROIC MUSIC)

Operation T-rex, successful.

(CHUCKLES) Cool.

But next time, I get to be Pegasus.

Hmm. My master warned me to beware of Clever's pet shop.

I'll have to admit, for little runts, you're rather talented.

Your 'master'? Are you here to take revenge on Clever?

What? Me? Take revenge.

If I took revenge on every police officer who's after me,

I'd have no time to do anything else.

I stupidly let myself get trapped by Clever last time.

But that won't happen again. She just got lucky.

Ha! Because you didn't just stupidly let yourself get trapped now?

Maybe not stupidly, 'cause our plan was super intelligent.

But trapped, yes.

Trapped? Are you really so sure?

(HAMSTERS GASP)

Run for your lives!

T-rex escaped!

(ALL SCREAM) (NIBBLER LAUGHS)

Run for your lives!

(LAUGHS EVILLY) You can't escape the T-rex.

(ROPE CREAKS)

(CLOCK TICKS)

If Clever is hiding, this is the last moment for her to come out.

(GRUNTS AND SIGHS)

You see, Clever, in five minutes,

the scissors will sever the rope and your friends will be crushed.

I don't think you want to take that risk, do ya?

So here's the deal.

Come out and I'll let you all return to your cages without harming ya.

What do you say?

Very well.

Well, then I guess I'll just have to spice up the situation.

(BLADE SLICES)

Hey! Are you crazy?

Help! Help! Help!

HAMSTERS: Clever! Clever anticipated everything.

Any second now, she'll capture the Nibbler

and push us aside in the nick of time

so that we don't end up crushed.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, you're right.

Can't exclude a miracle.

Pfft! Pigeons!

Why didn't Clever tell me where she was going?

Look where it got us.

Very well.

My little test proved that Clever won't be coming

and that she won't stop me from searching your shop.

Do you mind?

(ROPE CREAKS)

(GRUMBLES) Not there.

Clever's going to appear...now.

No. Now.

Or else...now.

CHARCOAL: Help! Help us!

Clever. Help!

Clever! Clever!

Help! We're stuck in here.

Help us!

In one second...now.

Ah! At last.

Here's what I was look... (AIR HISSES)

(GAGS) Euh...

(GAGS)

You?! You.

(SIGHS) (THUD!)

ALL: Clever?!

I shot two sleeping pills into his mouth with Snowflake's pea shooter.

Very precise and reliable.

(PANTS)

(CROQUET MALLET WHISTLES) (CLEVER GROANS)

ALL: Phew.

I told you she'd be here.

You didn't say she'd come out of the bag. Don't know if it counts.

BRO: Clever!

Why didn't you tell me? I was looking for you all day!

I'm so sorry, little Bro.

But it was the only way for me to create a real surprise.

Hmm.

And besides, I think you did an awesome job.

You almost caught him before I did.

Yeah, right. You spoiled everything.

Even my pea shooter investigation.

But how did you know he'd come tonight?

I'd heard about acts of vandalism in various pet shops.

It was a systematic search of a certain brand of dried dog food.

So out of curiosity, I ordered more than usual on Brian's computer.

Then I searched through the bags,

and - bingo! - there was a jewel in one of them.

I immediately knew it was the bounty

that the Nibbler had hidden in the warehouse the day he was arrested.

The jewel had never been found.

I deduced that he had slipped it into a container of dried dog food

in hopes of coming back and finding it once he'd escaped.

But the contents of the container

had been used to fill bags of dog food for local pet shops.

I knew he'd end up coming here.

So I asked Alfred and other lookouts

to warn me as soon as he started prowling around the area.

And you knew that it was next to impossible to stop him,

seeing as how he can gnaw through anything.

Exactly.

All I could do was put him to sleep by surprise

by giving him some of Brian's sleeping pills

at the exact right moment.

And to guarantee he'd really be surprised,

the best way was for no-one else to know.

This morning, after Alfred came by,

I hid in the bag of dog food with the pea shooter and there you go.

(SNORES)

(DOGS SNIFF)

Thanks to you, the Nibbler is back in Greenside.

And this time he's fitted out with dental braces

that prevent him from gnawing.

Bro told me that the Nibbler

was acting on behalf of someone he called his master

and I think I figured out who it might be.

The Evil Knight?

Yes, I believe so.

He was using the Nibbler's talents to transport goods.

Yes, uh, about Bro,

I hear that he and his trainees

were held prisoner by the Nibbler without Lloyd realising.

It's, um, very vexing.

Where are they? I'd like to apologise in person.

I have no idea.

This morning, he was already gone when I woke up.

I'm afraid he might be upset about my little strategy.

Or else...

You see that bag hanging from the ceiling?

And the bag of seed mix in the corner?

Yes, odd. And so?

And so they weren't there yesterday. Run!

Run? But...but why?

By Nessie, what on earth is the meaning of this?

Apologies accepted, Mac. (CHUCKLES)

Bro! Get this stuff off of me!

Police. Police!
