Sherlock Gnomes Page #4

---

no thanks to you.

And wait. "Pulling a Gnomeo"

means doing something cool.

Oh, yeah. Right.

That's totally

how we all use that phrase.

What's going on here?

Apparently,

gnomes were going missing.

These guys got a bit

worried about us.

So they brought us here

for safekeeping.

And they're gonna take us home

after this

Fireworks Night thingy.

Yeah, they even promised us

a "big surprise".

And they did that

when they said it,

which I thought seemed

a bit ominous.

Like we weren't gonna get

a big surprise...

or if we do, it's gonna be

something unspeakably horrific.

But it might just be balloons.

Oh, that's great, guys.

You go have fun.

Hola, Gnomeo.

We're in trouble.

We know, dear. We didn't

want to worry the others.

How bad is it?

This guy Moriarty, he's gonna

smash us all tomorrow night.

We're going to be smashed?

This guy said we're all going

to be smashed tomorrow!

Smashed?

Well, that's not

a very good surprise.

Quiet down, now.

You're giving me a headache.

And I'm not very nice

with a headache.

Come on.

Miss Juliet, I've got it!

I've cracked...

Oh.

Ah. Hmm.

...cracked the clue. I believe

I've cracked the clue.

Oh, right up

the back of my nose.

The circle on the toy plane

is a symbol used

by the Royal Air Force.

And the squadron code "NV"

said quickly

form the word "envy,"

as in "green with envy."

Which gives us

"royal" and "green".

The plane itself is the

last piece of the puzzle...

for the planatus tree,

or "plane tree",

is the most common tree

in Royal Green Park!

It's nearly 9:
00.

We're running out of time

to save those gnomes.

Sherlock,

it's broad daylight.

How are we supposed to get around

a park without anyone seeing us?

Ah, fear not. I am not just

a master of deduction.

I am also

a master of disguise.

Sorry.

Come on, let's go.

Left, right. Left, right.

Now scurry.

- Stop!

- Ooh.

Careful.

Now wag your tail.

Go on, wag it. Quickly.

Wag it!

Just when I think

you couldn't get more annoying.

Oh, that is the least

realistic tail-wagging I have ever seen.

Oh, forgive me.

I've never been

the back end

of a squirrel before.

You should have told me that before

I took you on as my assistant.

I'm not your...

Do you hear that?

Hmm.

That's not a bird.

That's the call of

the Peruvian snapping turtle.

Hmm. Where is it?

A-ha!

The Peruvian snapping turtle

is famous for burying its eggs.

He must have buried the clue.

Oh. It's been dug up by...

Oh.

Don't move.

It's just a dog.

That is no mere dog.

That, my dear, is the hound

owned by the Baskervilles.

And, in this very park,

that very hound bit me!

And I'm siding

with the dog here.

First Chinatown,

now this fleabag.

This is no coincidence.

Careful. The clue

is stuck to a squeaky toy.

Easy does it.

Gently.

Got it.

Quietly now.

And whatever you do, don't...

Oh.

Good doggy!

Good doggy!

- This way!

- No, this way.

Now hold on tight.

Oh!

Ooh! Let go!

Who's a good doggy?

Just grab the clue!

Got it! Uh-oh.

There.

That wasn't so...

Bad!

Miss Juliet,

for future reference,

that's not how a squirrel

wags its tail.

This is.

Do you see what I'm doing?

See? Do you see?

Yes, you're acting

like a rear end.

Can we check out the clue?

Of course

this would be next.

Moriarty, you monster!

Forcing me

to face my greatest fears!

A button? Really?

Very well.

If he wants to dance,

then dance we shall.

Hmm?

Right. He's asleep.

There must be

a way out of here.

The door is locked, so the

only way out is the skylight.

But there's no way

to get up there.

There has to be.

I'm gonna do whatever

it takes to get us out

and back to Juliet.

I've got an idea.

I just need a...

Oh, good boy, Shroom.

All right.

I could

scale those bricks,

use the Goons

to swing to the beam,

tightrope walk across it,

reach the skylight,

get around the door,

open it from the other side

and lead everyone to...

Freedom!

Yeah, thanks, Nanette.

If you're going to escape,

we'll create a distraction.

What's going on?

Ooh.

He looks like

a fairy-tale princess.

I like fairy tales.

Don't tell Reggie.

I believe we've just found our distraction.

What?

The button belongs

to my most formidable rival,

the boss of the scariest

dive in London.

The Doll Museum?

The Doll Museum!

Gregson.

You sure

you want to come in here?

I need to speak to your boss.

Your funeral.

Yikes! Is that the boss?

Not him.

Nope, not him.

Her.

Sherlock Gnomes.

Oh, my favorite arm.

You got a lot of nerve

showing your face around here.

Hello, Irene.

Well...

you're looking... well.

A letter! You ended

our engagement in a letter.

You two were engaged?

And now,

after months of silence,

you show up with this

cheap porcelain thing?

I beg your pardon!

She's just my assistant.

Oh, I am not your assistant.

Better get

your stories straight.

Irene, this is important.

This is one of yours,

isn't it?

I don't know, Sherlock.

There's an awful lot

of buttons in this city.

Irene, please,

just hand over the clue.

Of course.

You're only here on work.

But your case can wait.

It's showtime.

See if you can deduce

who this song is about. Hmm.

Do I look like I need you?

I'm super deluxe

New improved

Better shape, better off

Stronger than I ever was

Whispers tell a lie

Starts a rumor, makes you cry

It's out there poster size

It's no secret

You're no prize

I'd never, ever

Take you back

I'd walk on fire

and broken glass

It's sister time

I'm here to say

I never really liked you

I never really

Liked you anyway!

You know you're not

Messing with me

You know, you know

You're not messing with me

You know you're not

Messing with me

You know, you know

You're not messing with me

Get on out

It's no man's land

Gonna set you straight

Gotta understand

I'm the queen bee because

I'm stronger than I ever...

Stronger than I ever was!

You know you're

Not messing with me

- You know you know You're not messing with me

- No, no

You know you're not

Messing with me

You know you know

you're not messing with me

I'd never, ever

Take you back

I'd walk on fire

and broken glass

It's sister time

I'm here to say

I never really liked you

I never really

liked you anyway!

Well, that was

rather unpleasant.

Really? I thought she

made some good points.

Irene will need at least

one hour to cool down.

We don't have an hour.

Gnomeo is still out there.

Listen up, doll!

You've got something I need,

and I'm not leaving here

without it.

Are you insane? You cannot

provoke Irene like that.

There's no telling

what she'll... Ooh!

You can come in.

You can't.

Oh.

Oh, hello.

I thought garden gnomes were

all overweight and bearded.

But you're actually...

...cute. Hardly any

facial hair at all.

Would you like some tea?

Uh, no, thank you.

I just want...

I've often wondered

what it's like to be a gnome.

I mean, wearing the same

red dress every day

would be like

a fashion prison for me.
