Investigating!
I've been watching a lot of detective shows on TV.
It's like books -

Hmm. The sudden solar eclipse is an omen,

Oh, Gark.
You're so delightful.
"The Case of the Perilous Piano"!
Could it have been dropped by a murderous musician?
No!
Or could it?
Observe!
Ugh! Not the eye thing, not the eye thing!
Tonight, on "Crazy Crimes":
criminal musicians scour the world, stealing pianos
and demanding ransoms for their return!
But double-cross them and - uh oh! -
it's a "crash-endo" for these innocent keyboards!
Now what do you say, Max?
It was a little close, wasn't it?
I prefer my skull in its non-flattened form.
"Sloping Floor Piano Warehouse".
I call for an investigation!
I have a hunch about this place.
Oof!
Look, Gark...
we can see the park from here!
And a window is broken, too.
We're on to you!
We know you tried to off me!
I've got this, Max.
So, Mr. Piano Man - if that is your real name -
you intentionally cut the rope and
let the piano fall, didn't you?
Very well.
Perhaps you'd like to show us your security camera tape.
- Mmm! - Very well.
We'll find it ourselves!

So the criminal didn't even have to be here
to spring the trap!
Clever!
Ha! I like his - or her - style.
Oh, you do?
Oh, you'll love this.
Should I go and get wedged up a tuba
and smash my teeth out with a piccolo?!
We don't have time for that, Max!
We need to know what he - or she -

Find anything?

Hmm. Yes.
My spectrograph analysis indicates traces of
splintered wood - possibly some sort of piano.

Wait! It's okay!

It's only danger if you get hurt.

Everyone around here wants to hurt me.

I expect you're wondering why
I summoned you all here today.
Beat it, squirt.
I'm trying to catch some zees.
What's a summoning?
Uh, it's where you have to give whoever's next to you
all your snacks.
Oh.
I'm here on very serious business.
Someone is trying to kill Max!
I thought you said it was serious!
It is serious!
I could get killed!
to death!
What is it?
Just some drawings.
We need clues!
The scarlet mark!
There's a mark just like it here!
I wonder if they're related.
A timer?
Like the piano thingy.
So you're saying the criminal -

I've got better stuff

Um, number one on the list?
Anything.
I really thought it was her.

I'll be in charge of hiding under the bed and whimpering!
I don't think you can.
Oh, yes, I can!
But what about this...
mysterious fog?
How terribly convenient.
We're cut off!
Trapped until morning!
They're all looking at me.
Which one is the fiendishly clever murderer?

Get a hold of yourself, Max.

Max?
Who is it?!
Is it you? Tell me!
Did you do this?
Or you?
Tell me!
What is it, Max?
All these traps were set in advance, yes?
So the criminal - someone here -
wouldn't be seen operating them.
You said it yourself, Gark. Hmm, clever!
But, for that plan to work, the criminal would
need to know where I would be at any given moment!
And the only person who would have a good chance
of knowing that...
is...
Gark!
Oooh!
But, Max... I'm your friend!
Ha! That's what you wanted me to think!
But, all the time, you've been trying to take over from me!
You're jealous of my good looks and high status!
Please don't do anything silly!
Oh, no...
I'm going to do the sanest thing in the world, Gark.
I'm going to make you disappear!
But, Max... you took me in!
You saved me!
I don't care, Gark!
Or should I call you "The Scarlet Gark"? Hmm?
Gark...
Mark!
See how I put that together? Hmm?
Wait!
Uh huh?
That makes total sense.
Oh, well, of course.
Anton, spill it.
What did he say?
I'm paraphrasing, of course.
Someone ought to hit you with a big stick.

But... why are they red?!
The cheese!
Really?!
Think so, Inspector?
Actually, I think Nelson may be
on to something very important.
All the cheese Max was eating awakened his feelings
about himself - feelings he wanted to punish.
His subconscious knew the scarlet mark would terrify him,
so that's why he put it on every weapon!
Yeah, it's so true.
Cheese made me realize that, deep down,
I'm lazy, rude, greedy, and thoughtless to all of you...
so I guess...
I just need to eat less cheese.
And then I won't have to worry about my bad behaviour
ever again!
Woohoo!

Don't try and make me feel bad!

I know.
I've got a lot of work to do before the tournament.
You entered a tournament?
Yes, the Ultimate Animal Yoga Standoff.
Tournaments are for losers!
There's an old saying, Gark:
"No one remembers who comes in first place.
They only remember the loser!"
They made fun of me...
Ack! I mean, you! Uh, him!
with hilarious japes like "Yoga? More like 'noga'!"
They don't remember the loser went for it!
He pushed the limits!
Oh, but I suppose having a ponytail is
what's really important for being calm and quiet!
And tranquil!
Being centered, and...
Gahh!
Oh, wow!
Please be my partner!
Gark, if there's one thing I know about yoga...
it's that it's all about vengeance.
I will be your partner.
Yay!
Now, we have a lot of work to do.

Nice, Max.

Okay, Max.
You can do this. You can do this.
Round one.
Downward dog.
A tasteful choice.
Speaking of tasteful choices,
be sure to try Yogi-urt, the yoga yogurt.
It's "namastasty".

calm, safe perfection.
Nothing flashy!
Ouch. Downward dog?
More like "downward pigeon and squirrel".
Nelson and the Kid are gone.
And that's the end of round one.
We're doing really well, Max!
Still a long way to go, Gark.
Let's see how they handle round two:
"tranquil"...
Erm, I'm not sure what that is.
"Helicopter pose"?
Wow.
They did not think this one through.
Oh, that's bad.
Just three teams left.
The raccoons are in great shape.
Could this be their year?
No.
That's it, Gark.
Steady...
What prowess by Max and Gark.
But "Bar-NAY" and "Cle-MONT" are feeling the pressure.
And that's the end of round two.
I am not losing to this guy!
Gark, we actually have a chance!
We've just got to follow the plan:
play our "A" game -
but play it safe.
We're down to the final two teams:
Max and Gark...
and Barnay and Clemont.
It all comes down to this:
the final freestyle round,
where the contestants lay everything on the line.

Mm-hmm!
No, I'm smiling because I have something you don't have!

I'm sorry, Max.
Max?
I should have stayed away, Gark.
I'm leaving.
Don't try and stop me!
Let me repeat something my great, very wise teacher
once told me.
Do you know who that is?
Yes! It's me! I get it!
Yes! That great teacher is you, Max!

pryana banana-chana-fofanna floating eagle'."
No! I said the exact opposite!
You'll be physically destroyed.
No, friend... we'll be physically destroyed.
It's like you once said:
"Together, we can do anything."
Don't let them win like this, Max.
At least make them earn it.
