(THEME MUSIC)

Ha! (LAUGHS)

(SCREAMS)

(BELL TOLLS, THUNDER RUMBLES)

(BARKS)

Calm down, Luther. It's just a storm.

(BARKS)

It's lightning. It's nothing.

The power will come back on.

(BARKS)

Huh? What in the...

This is Agent Colbary.

I need backup at 228 Gresham Street.

Someone is trying to break into the bank.

Stop. Don't move!

(WHIMPERS)

Arggh!

(THUD!)

(OLD-SCHOOL ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)

The storm dragon has struck again.

Last night another bank was robbed.

The method is always the same.

The thief disguised as a reptile,

melts the bank doors during a power outage caused by lightning,

then empties the safe and disappears into thin air.

Hmm.

Interesting.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

My earpiece.

Bang on target.

This cage is on promotion.

I can't hear you, young man.

Ah.

In that case, I would advise you to get an aquarium.

Fish communicate with their eyes.

Whoa. Cool.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

(EARPIECE BEEPS)

Hey, Chargold. I discovered something amazing.

But you have to promise me you'll tell no one.

Not even Bro.

Hey, James Bro,

Her Majesty's spy, hears everything.

You should turn that off, Bro.

Shh! I discovered a conspiracy.

The storm has started up again,

and it could backfire on you in exactly...

(THUNDER CRASHES) ARGGH!

(SIGHS)

Ah! Enough espionage.

A client has just arrived.

What? A pie is on the tie?

Good evening, Detective.

It's not wise of you to leave your kennel

in the middle of a storm like this.

Trust me, I'd rather be eating nibbles on a nice, warm carpet.

But the affair that brings me is precisely related to the storm.

You're investigating into the bank robberies.

So the thief is not a human disguised as a reptile?

Hmm. Far worse.

All the guard dogs are talking about a real dragon.

Mm-hm. Her Majesty could be in danger.

This is a mission for her best spy, James Bro.

Hm. I wouldn't be against a helping paw in this affair.

The Queen is waiting for my report.

Hmm. Maybe there's a way of deducing which bank

will be broken into tonight.

Yes. Thanks to my spy earpiece.

Hush. I'll try and listen in on the dragon.

Maybe he shares secrets with another dragon.

Here, Detective.

Show us where the previous robberies took place.

If you like.

But I assure you, there's no connection between the banks,

nor any logic to the neighbourhoods targeted.

(THUNDER CRASHES)

(GASPS) Oh, my.

Oh, a power outage.

Oh, by Nessie, a robbery is going to take place in this neighbourhood.

We can't see a thing.

Luckily, with my super sensitive hearing,

I can hear like in broad daylight.

Hey! I know where he's going to strike.

There are dozens of banks in the area.

How can you know which one will be attacked?

The attacked banks were all situated next to a transformer.

The robber creates a surge of high voltage and attacks the closest bank

because he only has a short time frame before the police arrive.

In our area, it's the Lexington Street Bank.

By my chequered vest.

Nothing escapes you.

Let us waste no time.

Bingo. We're at the right location.

I couldn't do anything.

He uses a sort of high power laser beam.

Looked like a giant lizard.

We got here too late.

The thief has already gotten away.

It took us less than three minutes to get here.

Which way could he possibly have gone to disappear so fast?

Look at this.

These ashes indicate that the plate was not over the manhole

during the robbery.

Rather, next to it.

I say our thief came and left through here.

Ooh.

Bro, I think the time has come to spy.

I was so hoping you'd say that!

I hear him running away!

Let's go.

(GRUNTS) Oh, scoundrel!

He's sealed it.

It's cast iron, Detective.

It's way too heavy for a dog your size.

The gutter. A dog my size?!

So I'm gutter sized, is that it?

Oh, good grief.

That way.

Wait. I don't hear anything anymore.

We took the wrong direction.

I think it's more likely that we were spotted.

But we made zero noise.

And yet the thief knows we're here.

He detected us thanks to the only clue we gave him -

the vibrations of our paws on the ground.

Only reptiles are capable of sensing that.

That's normal. He's a dragon.

I'd say he's more like a salamander.

Come out and show yourself, Basil.

Basil the salamander?

It's impossible. He drowned in the Thames.

Arggh!

Yet that would explain the power outages.

He's capable of controlling electricity.

(LAUGHS)

(GASPS)

Surprise! (LAUGHS)

By my chequered vest. What on earth...

He's mutated.

Call it what you like, Miss Know It All.

All I know is that I'm even more powerful than I was before.

(LAUGHS)

If I remember correctly, you strongly disliked being wet.

Anyone order a wet lizard?

(LAUGHS) And the good news is I no longer fear water.

(LAUGHS)

Hurry, Detective! Run!

By Nessie!

He turned the transformers into fish and chips.

More like into hot dogs!

(ALL SCREAM)

I have an idea.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Unbelievably easy.

All I have to do now is seal your coffin.

Ha. Too bad. That's enough.

Bravo, Clever.

The door spring made Basil believe that we were locked inside.

He's getting away.

He just took a dive!

He knows that water will leave no trail.

No use trying to follow him now that he's spotted us.

Oh, yes.

Especially since we could end up transformed into puzzle pieces.

Looks like he ran out of electricity.

Interesting.

But how did he turn into that thing?

When Basil fell into the Thames,

the energy from the explosion must have made him mutate,

giving him even stronger powers.

He had a big enough head as it was.

Imagine now.

What do we do?

Even if we found his lair,

which seems highly impossible in this maze,

we would be ineffective against his laser beams that cut through rock.

We know that Basil runs out of electricity as he uses it.

Therefore, he must get recharged

somewhere where he can access huge quantities.

The power plant? Hmm.

We also know that the attack started during the storm period,

and storms...

Mean lightning.

When we were in the street,

did you notice that the lightning

always seemed to strike the same spot to the northwest of the city

near Parliament Hill,

instead of being drawn to the highest skyscrapers?

Do you think he can attract lightning?

The abandoned parliamentary water tower

is situated at an elevation of 450 feet.

If he managed to position a high enough metal antenna,

he could capture the electricity from the lightning.

I can have the place surrounded with my dogs as of tomorrow,

but that won't resolve the problem of his beams that cut through walls.

I know how to stop him, and Brian has exactly what we need.

(RECORD SCRATCHES)

Huh?

What?!

My diamond!

Someone stole my diamond!

Oh! Police!

Travis and Lloyd are on the next bus.

If you can manage to stop Basil's laser beam,

we'll easily be able to nab him.

Basil concentrates his energy

into a diamond that produces the laser beam.

All we need to do is shatter the diamond.

But I thought diamonds were unbreakable.

Not if they receive a shock in the right place

with a hard enough projectile.

We borrowed Brian's diamond,

and I brought along Her Majesty's spies' favourite weapon.

Hang on.

Are you talking about your tinkered ballpoint pen

that shoots paper wads?

Mm-hm.

(GRUMBLES)

You were right, Clever.

That wretched reptile recharges his batteries here.

Wait.

If we enter through the door, Basil will sense us coming.

Don't forget, he can feel vibrations through the ground.

We'll go up the wall.

Are you kidding?

There's no question

of me breaking every bone in my body trying to play monkey.

Not you, Detective.

Bro and I will get up to the window,

and as soon as Basil's weapon is destroyed,

we'll let you know, and you can come up.

Hmm.

Well done, Bro!

Her Majesty's spies never miss their target.

Yarr!

Rarr!

Another successful exploit by James Bro.

You could almost apply to be a secret agent.

(TUTS) Give me a diamond, wise guy.

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

(LAUGHS)

You need to hit the diamond smack in the middle.

Only an impact on its central vertex will shatter it.

It's between us, Super Basil.

Let the clash of the titans begin.

(THUNDER CRASHES) Whoa!

Ow!

Uh-oh.

You again?

Bro, it's time to skedaddle.

Arghh...

What?

I didn't practise going down this fast!

James Bro always finds a way!

Those nasty rodents are hard headed.

The police?

Watch out for his laser beam.

(LAUGHS) Quick.

Let's beat a retreat into the shed.

(LAUGHS) Big error, gentlemen.

He's the fastest welder in the west.

Now it's your turn, rodents.

Huh? Whoa!

And now, what's the plan?

We run!

OK!

(LAUGHS) You're done for!

(SCREAMING)

(LAUGHS) Game over, rodents.

Clever, we need a plan B.

Whoa!

Is your plan called grilled hamster?

Jump!

Those two busybodies will finally leave us alone. (LAUGHS)

This is an old water tower.

There had to be an access hatch to the pipe network.

(SCREAMS) Jump!

Great. But now we're stuck.

Did you prefer stuck or grilled? Pffa!

Her Majesty's best agent trapped like a rat.

(STATIC ON EARPIECE)

(LAUGHTER)

Hey, listen.

The dragon is calling another dragon.

With the detective? And they got away?

No, they were completely charred. (LAUGHS)

Good. Because that detective girl was really smart.

Now nothing can stop us.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, I'd recognise that voice anywhere.

The Evil Knight!

Yes, the mysterious monkey disguised as a knight,

and who already escaped us twice.

(LAUGHS)

Hush. The storm will end soon.

Make sure you get fully charged, Basil.

Tonight's operation is the most important of all.

This is no mere bank.

And don't forget - 12:30am, on the dot.

What are they going to rob this time?

There was a floor plan on the wall inside the tower.

I didn't recognise it then,

but when he mentioned 12:30am, I understood.

That's when the changing of the Queen's Feline Guard takes place -

the best time to slip into Buckingham Gardens unnoticed.

The floor plan was the Queen's Apartments.

(GASPS)

He's going to steal Her Majesty's jewels!

We have to get out of here fast.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

I have an idea.

Give me your sights,

your aluminium foil wad.

If you say so.

We'll use it as a reflective surface.

(GASPS) You made a mirror.

But why?

Normally you need something more reflective than aluminium foil,

but this should do the job.

Bingo. It's screwed in place.

Hand me the screwdriver.

It worked. Yeah!

And now it's us against you, you nasty lizard.

Hey, maybe we could use our mirror to shoot his beam back.

No, the beam would shatter our makeshift mirror.

It's too powerful.

But you just gave me a great idea.

I did? Mm-hm.

(KNOCKING)

On my order, at three.

One, two... Four!

There's a passageway through the back wall.

Unless you guys really, really want to kick the door down?

Quick. To the palace.

(BELL TOLLS)

Oh, at last. I'm starving.

Bye, guys.

Goodnight. Goodnight.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)

Huh?

What's going on?

There must be a power outage in the area.

It's happened before.

Paws in the air, Basil.

What? How many times do I need to get rid of you?

(GASPS) Ha!

Now!

(BEEPS)

Zap this!

Ahh!

Bro!

What?

(LAUGHS) Missed again! Too bad for you.

Oh, no!

Are you OK?

Hurry, Detective.

(LAUGHS)

By my chequered vest.

What do we do now?

Think, Clever. Think, Clever.

(LAUGHS)

I know. Here's what we're going to do.

Bro, you're going to...

(WHISPERS INDISTINCTLY)

Hmm.

Now!

(COUGHS)

Over here, Basil.

Diamond shot!

(CRACK!)

Yeah, right in the middle.

(GASPS AND YELLS)

(CONTINUES YELLING)

Arggh!

Ahhh!

Unbelievable!

Nyah.

What?

No! My power!

(SOBS)

The explosion of energy reversed his mutation.

Super Basil has turned back into a super harmless salamander.

Grab him.

Super or not, he's under arrest.

In the meantime, the true culprit is still running free.

Huh?

That monkey leaves nothing to chance.

Look, he had a mic hidden on Basil.

No use returning to the water tower.

He'll have cleared everything up by now.

Clever, Bro, I congratulate you.

Like always, the two of you have shown

great intelligence and bravery.

Thanks to you, Basil is once again a harmless salamander,

and my Crown Jewels are safe.

I don't know how to thank you.

And I hope that this show of friendship will express

my gratitude sufficiently.

These lockets prove that you are members of the Queen's close guard.

In the name of Her Majesty, I name you Protector...

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Could we be secret agents in the service of Her Majesty?

The Queen has no spies.

A Protector...

I agree, Hermes.

Bro... Ahem!

..I name you Secret Agent.

Could you say, "Bro. James Bro."?

(CLEVER LAUGHS)
