Did you get the same text I did?
Yeah! There's a friends forever surprise party in the storage unit.
Let's do this thing!
[cheering and whooping]
[Hank] Yeah!
Uh...
Wait a minute. If all of us just ran in here,
that means none of us set this up. And that means...
-[gasps] -This isn't a party, it's a trap!
[all yelling]
[grunting]
You're right, McGillicuddy. Hank and his friends are in big trouble this time.
But they'll find a way out. They always do.
[friends yelling]
Ah... Ow! Ohh!
Someone will come along to save 'em, right? Any minute now. Heh!
[yelling and moaning]
I can't take it anymore!
They're gonna be stuck in there forever unless we save 'em.
Bongo and McGillicuddy are on the case!
[cheering]
If we want to get the TV friends out of the trap,
the first thing we have to know is who put 'em in there.
-[McGillicuddy grunts] -So, we'll investigate every foe
Hank and the gang have ever faced,
using the Crime-O-Dex.
And when it comes to villains, there's only one place to start...
The CEO. He is the baddest baddie they've ever battled.
Let's check this clip and comb for clues.
Now, to memory-erase you and take over the world.
-Ha, Monday is fun day! -Everybody, get behind the corn!
Is he wearing sunglasses indoors?
Bold choice.
No fair! I just wanna wipe your memories
so I can rule the world. [cackles]
Ha! Oh.
Ha! Uh?
Hmm. But could the CEO be as sneaky as our mystery villain?
Let's check more tape.
I'm glad Tom's running against me. That way, when I beat him,
destroying his company will be even more fun!
Wait... What is going on?
You got tricked by me. Now you have to live in space! [cackles]
I agree, McGillicuddy. The CEO's out.
He loves to brag. He wouldn't do something like this
without telling everyone. So, who else is there?
How about the slimy science duo of Mel and Flo? Let's see if anything points to them.
-Glitter! -My eyes!
So are these two brother and sister or a couple or what?
-[gibbers] -Okay, that makes sense.
It takes more than glitter to stop a great scientist, Ben!
It's pointless to... Aargh!
[groaning]
[Bongo] That had to hurt! Can we watch that again, in slow motion?
Yeah!
-[Mel] Ciao! -[Mel and Flo cackling]
[groans]
True, Mel and Flo are jerks, but mostly just to Ben,
not everyone.
We can pry the door open with these car jacks.
But we won't be able to hold it long.
So get ready to slide under it. Ready? One...
two, three.
[groaning with effort]
[cheering]
[screams]
Another door?
Gah!
How about Ricky DeLuna? Could this musical maniac be the mastermind?
-Get out of here. -Oh, I will.
But not until I've proved that you're not so special, DeLuna.
[horrified gasps]
[Bongo] Come on, Angela! Don't just hide back there. Grab a sword!
Say you dance-surrender!
Never!
Ah-ha!
[Bongo] Nah. Ricky DeLuna doesn't have the guts for a crime like this.
[shrieks] Oh, please don't hurt me!
[Bongo] Plus he's in jail.
-That's harsh. -[Bongo] Next.
[Bongo] Ah, look at this. The Mother Cob. Oh, there was a fierce foe.
[roaring]
[Bongo] I guess I'd be mad too if I had seven teeth. Heh heh!
-Corn, corn! -Not today!
Tom, let's go!
[shrieking and popping]
Oh, yeah, right. The Mother Cob is popcorn now.
And popcorn can't do crime.
-[moans] -[laughs maniacally]
This could be it! Ms. Vanthrax is an expert at locking people up.
No one upsets my students but me!
[Bongo] Oh, yeah, she’s a monster hunter, not a monster herself.
Suspect dismissed.
Come on, McGillicuddy, keep rollin'.
Could it be Jeremy?
I am Jeremy the Germ!
A tissue-soaking menace to society!
[people screaming and moaning]
-Oh, I need to lie down! -You do that.
[Bongo} Nah. He's a good guy now.
Huh! None of these suspects makes sense.
[alarm blaring]
[screams]
Oh, no!
There's only minutes of Talking Tom and Friends left!
If this episode ends before we solve the case, they'll be stuck in storage forever!
No time to do this by the book. Go, go, go!
Angela, I have a message for you too.
-Write better songs. -[Bongo] Uh-uh.
That's the problem with you. You want everything to be easy.
[Bongo] No.
-No. -[cackles]
-No. -We are a great combo.
Nah.
-No. -Aloha!
No! No! No! Grrr!
Hey, what's this?
Looks like an old tape, but there's no label.
Let's see what's on this.
Hey there, I'm Gilbert.
We gotta give Gilbert a new prime directive,
like, don't let people go until they're your friend.
I programmed Gilbert with a string of empathy commands
to achieve his prime directive.
[Gilbert] I can't let anyone go...
until we're friends.
Come on! That's ridiculous, Gillie! We're totally friends.
No, Tom, we're not friends.
That's why I'm going to reprogram you.
[Bongo] Yep, it all adds up.
The friendship, the party, the hostage-taking.
The culprit is the very first Talking Tom villain...
Gilbert.
Think, Hank, think!
The trap was set by Gilbert, can't you see?
Come on, Hank, open your mind.
Receive my police intuition.
[gasps] I know who's behind this!
-It's Gilbert! -[all gasp]
Hank, stop saying random names!
That out-of-control machine I built has long gone.
Um, not really.
I kinda switched him on again.
[Ginger] Hello, Gilbert.
-Are you my friend? -Yes.
And friends will do anything for each other, right?
-Grrr! -I'm sorry, guys.
If Gilbert is the one trapping us, I think I know how to deal with him.
Quick, follow my lead, everyone.
You know, I don't know why we wanted to get out of here.
The storage room is actually a great place to live.
[rattling]
Oh, yeah! Why didn't we see it before?
This place has everything!
Walls... and... and storage.
[rattling]
Oh, I'd love to meet whoever put us in here so we can be friends with them.
Yep, friendship's great! I love being friends with people...
It's me!
I put you here. Surprise!
Gilbert! What is this about, you old knucklehead?
Friendship, of course.
I was going to wait a few years before revealing myself.
-But now I see I don't need to. -[all] Aww!
We're going to have a great life together in this storage unit.
Friends forever!
[Angela and Hank] Ohh!
That sounds really awesome, buddy.
Hey, why don't we kick off this forever party with a hug, huh? Whaddya say?
This is exactly how I thought this would go.
Well, of course it is. Come on, everyone.
Let's all hug Gilbert, okay?
[all] Oh, yeah!
Aww!
-[Hank] Huggy-huggy! -Say, can you loosen up a bit?
I love hugging, but I cannot move.
Yeah, that's the point, my friend.
Ben, shut him down... now!
-[Ben] Almost! -[Gilbert] No!
Friend... [voice slows down and distorts]
[cheering and whooping]
-We did it! -More like friends for-never!
Woo! Yeah! Take that, robot! Ha ha!
But Hank, how did you figure out that it was Gilbert?
Hmm... it just popped into my head.
I guess my brain was looking out for us.
[all laughing]
Case closed, McGillicuddy. Put it there!
