Sherlock Gnomes Page #6

---

think I don't understand,

but this time

I really don't understand.

What happened at

the Natural History Museum?

Well, now,

that's a funny story.

You thought I was deaded.

But I've always been

a lucky pie,

and that was

my luckiest day ever.

Not only did I

not get squished,

in that moment I saw how I could

finally bring you down, Sherlock.

- Yours, I believe.

- I saw how you treated Watson.

Poor old miserabubble Watson.

He looked so sad.

So I thought, I'll use that.

I sent the gargoyles

to you, Watson,

and they let you think

you were in charge.

As if!

You know what

your problem is, Watson?

You're too nice, too trusting.

Too... ugh.

Never trust a gargoyle or

prunes past their sell-by date.

While you were playing

at supervillains,

I saw your map.

And then I could carry out

the real plan, my plan!

Capturing every single gnome

in London.

Selfie time!

Oh, no.

Oh, yes!

They didn't have to be

glued down in a giant M,

but it's the little touches that

make a plan really evil, you know?

He's not there.

Can you guess what happens

next? Here, I'll show you.

Screen share, screen share.

How do I screen...

This is where we stored

the kidnapped gnomes

on the bridge.

Then we brought them

to this room here,

for the main event.

And when

your warship arrives,

the bridge will rise up

and the 500-ton

counterweight will fall,

crushing the gnomes,

making you

the very instrument

of their demise.

Yes, you, Sherlock,

will be the unwitting

executioner

of every single gnome

in London.

So, how do I get out

of screen share?

How do I get out of...

Oh, a-ha!

Oh, Sherlock, I can see

all the cogs turning in there,

trying to work out

how to stop me.

But it's too late.

Your pretty boat

is nearly here.

The bridge will open

Smashing all the gnomes

And what will you do, Sherlock

When all the gnomes are gone?

I don't know. You tell me.

So the game is not afoot,

or a hand, or a leg.

It's just over.

And you lose.

Bye!

So, Watson,

on a scale of 1 to 10,

how well do you think

this is going?

I never meant for any gnome

to get hurt. You know that.

Hey, knock it off,

both of you.

Watson screwed up,

but you did, too.

- What did I do?

- The same thing I did.

We took our best friends for

granted, we stopped listening.

We stopped giving them

the respect they deserve.

They were the last thing

we were thinking about,

and they should

have been the first.

I suppose somewhere within that

haystack of emotional twaddle

there may lie

a thin needle of truth.

One last case.

One last case.

Good.

Now let's get off this ship

and save those gnomes.

Let's go.

It's all clear.

Follow me.

We need that soap.

Of course, to unstick

the gnomes from the pie filling.

Perfect deduction, Watson.

Now we need to find a way

to get to Tower Bridge.

Hmm.

I'll drive.

Uh, Miss Juliet,

maybe we should slow down!

What are we doing up here?

Shouldn't we be

saving the gnomes?

The only way

to save the gnomes

is to find a way to stop

the bridge from opening.

Clear the bridge.

Clear the bridge.

All pedestrians

behind the barriers.

HMS Nimrod,

this is Tower Bridge.

Commencing your

20:
43 bridge lift.

We got to make them think there's

still people on the bridge.

Now, can you guys handle that?

Oh, absolutely, definitely.

Positively. Piece of cake.

Yes! I'm off to go

and help the others.

- So, uh, what are we doing?

- I don't know.

We got to do something.

Well, we are on a river.

Five, six, seven, eight!

Bloomin' heck! There's

still people on the bridge.

Nimrod,

stop your approach.

There are some people

on the bridge... Riverdancing!

Sherlock!

And this is why you don't

make the gloating phone call

until after all the gnomes

are smashed.

Can you be a lamb

and get me a weapon?

Something lethal

but... oh, oh, fun!

Look! Someone must have

stopped the bridge!

Gnomeo.

"Move to the city," they said.

"It'll be fun," they said.

Sherlock!

Surely you didn't think

it would be that easy...

Who...

Who the heck are you?

- I'm the gnome that's gonna...

- No!

This is my show!

I do the one-liners.

You don't get one-liners.

It seems we have

a party crasher.

Would you two

show him the door?

It'll be our pleasure,

guvnor.

This is too easy.

- He's mine.

- No, he's mine.

Wait.

What are you doing?

Jumping, of course.

Gotcha.

Oh, Gnomeo, I'm so sorry.

I thought I'd lost you.

That's never gonna happen.

Look!

Ah, yes. Not good.

Would you mind taking care of

them so we can save the gnomes?

Leave it with us.

Good luck.

Fertilizer face!

Remember me?

Come here, pipsqueak!

Wait till I get hold of you!

My name is Moriarty

You like to eat my pies

I'll draw his fire,

you rescue the gnomes.

You trust me

to save the gnomes?

Well, of course.

You're Watson.

Hmm.

Ah! Oh, Sherlock!

Surely you didn't think

it would be that easy to...

You know what? It

doesn't feel organic anymore.

Look, I'm just

gonna smash you.

Ha! A miss!

The first of many.

Oh, it's my favorite bit.

The chase.

Ready or not, here I come!

Cheese and crackers!

Look! It's that guy that

hangs around with Sherlock.

Yes, I'm the guy that

hangs around with Sherlock.

And I'm here to get you out.

Here we go.

Oi! Why is he

pouring soap on us?

I don't know.

Still, we'll smell nice.

He's trying to get us loose.

Everyone,

get ready to move.

Everyone link arms and pull!

Foam party!

It pains me to do this,

Sherlock.

No one is forcing you,

Moriarty.

You're the only one

who gets me.

And I know you feel

The same way about me

- Not true!

- Ow!

I know you, Sherlock.

Because I know me.

We are the same.

You are the sun

And I am the moon

Those aren't the same.

They're both

round things that...

You know what I mean.

They've got to be

'round here somewhere.

There!

Don't just stand there!

Get her!

She's trapped.

Oh, dear. You've got nowhere

else to go, twinkletoes.

Now!

What was that?

Stevenson, point

the searchlight at the bridge.

The humans!

They've seen us! Freeze!

This is your fault.

No, it's your fault!

Two garden gnomes versus

two giant stone gargoyles.

Hey, we're Gnomeo and Juliet.

They didn't stand a chance.

Oh, you've got

to be kidding me.

False alarm, Nimrod. Someone had

stuck three garden gnomes on the...

Looked like they were dancing.

It doesn't matter.

Stand by for bridge reopening.

Oh, no.

Yeah, we didn't even

get to do our big finale.

Nimrod,

recommencing bridge opening now.

Don't worry,

I'll get you out of here.

Oh, my hero.

Be brave, my love.

Be brave!

This way! The door's here!

Come on, quickly now!

Help! Help! I'm stuck!

Well, of course

it would be that guy.

Whoa! Keep me level!

Come on, this way.

Out, everybody.

Yay!

Thank you, Dr. Watson.

- Thank you, Dr. Watson.

- You're my hero, Dr. Watson.

I don't need you, Sherlock.

I've got lots of people

who want me as an archenemy.

They're queuing up!

Ow!

I'm popular
