Did you know we were standing on a trap?
FFred
(grabs Daphne) Honestly, there's so many in this house, I've kinda lost track.
(The gang hears a man trapped in a sheet)
FFred
Dad! (releases Daphne and uncovers the sheet) You're okay!
Dimpled puppet eggs, Fred! I am clearly not okay. Untie me.
FFred
(unties his dad) Dad, the house wasn't haunted at all. It was Professor Pericles.
Pericles? Are you sure? Did he get the--?
Planispheric Disk? Yeah. He said you stole it from him.
That's... that's absurd! We confiscated it off him years ago, when we locked him up. I've felt it was best to keep it here, safe. That's why I went back in for it.
Mayor Jones, why would Professor Pericles want that piece of the Disk so badly?
Oof! Ha! Ha! How should I know? Are you kids trying to imply something? Because if you are--
FFred
No, no, dad. We're just all really happy you're okay. That's what's important, right, gang? This mystery is over. (hugs Mayor Jones)
I'm not sure this mystery is over at all.
Time to reveal who Dead Justice really is. (unmasks Dead Justice)
SSScooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne and Fred
Deputy Bucky?
What? Bucky, you were like a father to me!
BBucky
You're 20 years older than me!
There's no proof of that. Why'd you do it?
Sheriff, I think we can explain.
Bucky was tired of being just a deputy. He craved the power and prestige of the Sheriff's office.
FFred
Bucky failed every one of his promotion exams. But it wasn't just his grades that got me thinking.
Like, Bucky's a doodler, and his drawings looked an awful lot like Dead Justice's demon bullets.
Bucky disguised himself as the Ghost of Dead Justice and chased down the town's most wanted.
He knew nothing would hurt Sheriff Stone more than losing his job to his hero.
FFred
The only thing I don't understand is how he created those bullets.
BBucky
CGI. It's all CGI these days. I programmed a laser pointer to simulate the animation.
Much as I hate to admit it, I owe you kids one. (Fred puts his hand on Sheriff's shoulder but he lets it go)
(gives an award to Sheriff Stone) People of Crystal Cove, there's a new old new Sheriff in town.
(The crowd cheers and applauds)
Thanks, Mayor Jones. And... Thanks for giving me a raise.
Raise? What raise? An hour ago, your job was free. Don't think I won't find another undead lawman if I have to.
(laughs) You're joking, right?
FFred
You know, dad, Bucky would have gotten away with it if it hadn't have been for us meddling kids. Maybe a little thank you might be, uh...
Uh, that's great, Fred. Listen, I'm late for a work meeting. (leaves)
FFred
But work's that way. (Daphne arrives) Why do I even bother?
(accompanies Fred) He cares, Fred, in his own way.
Now, Regina, time to come clean and reveal that you're-- (unmasks The Obliteratrix)
SSScooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred
Alice May?
She once pretended to be a Ghost Girl to kidnap Fred for her man posse because she wanted revenge for her father, the Creeper.
But, like, how did you get out of jail?
AMAlice May
I got out with the help of the same person who sent me to destroy you... Mr. E!
SSScooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred
Huh?
AMAlice May
E enlisted my services to put you kids in danger in hopes of drawing out his enemy, Professor Pericles. He figured if Pericles thought you were in trouble, he'd come to your rescue. E knew if he could get Pericles to reveal himself, it'd leave his piece of the Planispheric Disk vulnerable. Everything was fake. Special effects.
But, like, where'd you get all the high-tech stuff? How'd you disappear?
AMAlice May
E took care of that. It was all courtesy of one of Destroido's shell corporations: Quest Research Laboratories. They supplied me with everything I needed: Weapons, a high-tech cloaking device, even the effects.
(handcuffs Alice) So this was all staged by Mr. E to use the kids as parrot bait.
AMAlice May
That's right. And it would have worked, too, if I hadn't been stopped by you, Miss meddling sassy pants! (Next scene in the police car with Sheriff Stone and Alice May arrested)
Wait, so are you telling me that you escaped from prison months ago, and I never noticed? (laughs) I don't think so. (drives away)
FFred
Well, gang, another mystery solved.
I just wish we could have done something about your job, Professor Hatecraft.
DDean
(arrives with car) H.P.? Yoo-hoo! Oh, there you are, you dear man.
Don't worry, Dean Fenk. I'm on my way to clean out my office now.
DDean
Clean out your office? Oh, never. Heh! Haven't you heard the wonderful news? The song "Char Gar Gothakon", based on your novel, is a huge hit in Japan. And since Darrow College published the book, we're gonna make a fortune! (Professor Hatecraft is amazingly surprised) Now, I'm giving you Regina's old office Vampire books are so done and I'm having the dusk mobile repainted. (she and Professor Hatecraft drive away)
FFred
Well, Angel, it looks like we owe you one.
Yeah. You saved our tails.
How'd you know where we were?
It's time, Angel. I can't keep this secret anymore.
I wanted to tell you kids earlier, but I was afraid.
Of telling you the truth. My real name isn't Angel Dynamite. It's Cassidy Williams. I'm one of the original members of Mystery Incorporated that disappeared.
SSScooby, Shaggy, Daphne and Fred
What?
ADAngel Dynamite/Cassidy
It was all an accident. We should have never been in that condemned church. But Brad said he'd seen someone coming and going at night, and he wanted to investigate. We thought we'd found a treasure map, but it wasn't treasure; it was a threat, to not just our lives but the lives of our families. The thing in those caves forced us to leave Crystal Cove, or those who loved us would pay the price. (Shaggy and Scooby are terrified)
L-l-like, who threatened you?
ADAngel Dynamite/Cassidy
He called himself the Freak. The Freak of Crystal Cove. There, now you know the truth. That's what happened to the original Mystery Incorporated, and it will happen to all of you if you don't stop! Forget about the Planispheric Disk. Give Pericles your piece, or Mr. E. I don't care. The mystery is over. Let it end tonight!
FFred
You lied to us, Angel. You've been lying to us from the beginning. Why should we listen to anything you have to say to us now? This mystery isn't over until we say it's over. Come on, gang.
ADAngel Dynamite/Cassidy
No. No, you don't understand. He's still out there. (The gang drives away) The Freak is still out there!
FFred
Dad, I'm sorry. We just...
Uh, uh, uh. I can't hear you. My ears are too clogged with disappointment.
[to Daphne] You are forbidden to see the Jones boy ever again.
What?! Mom, dad, you can't do that! Just listen for a second! Fred and I are engaged!
[Barty faints in Nan's arms]
VSVelma, Shaggy and Scooby
YOU'RE WHAT?!
Engaged. So you can't split us apart. Right, Fred? Fred?
FFred
What? Oh, uh... right! I love Daphne. She's the most important thing in my life, besides the gang, mystery-solving, traps, my dad... truthfully, it's a five-way tie.
[groans] We're getting married as soon as we graduate.
[gasps and drops Barty and points to Mayor Jones] This is your fault, Mystery Incorporated is over!
[Nan grabs Daphne's arm and pulls her away]
[Fred reaches for Daphne, but his father pulls him back]
FFred
NO! [whispers as Mayor Jones pulls him away] Shaggy, Scooby, guard the disk piece in your room. Velma...
[grabs scroll and hides it behind her back] I'm already on it.
CCCrybaby Clown
You all know me. You know how I earn a living. I'm a bad clown. Stopping me ain't going to be easy. There's no string and a net to catching me like Mano Tiki Tia or Redbeard's ghost. This Crybaby Clown swallow your town whole. (chuckles) You want your tourism back? You're gonna pay me $5 million. For that, you get the pacifier, the rattle, the whole darn clown. So what's it going to be? Me, or Mystery Incorporated?
Well, it sounds like a good deal to me. I'll start passing the hat. So long, mystery goofs.
Hold on, Clown! That is our town.
(chuckles nervously) That's right! And we don't need money to protect it. Although it would be nice-- (Velma hits him with elbow) Ow!
Freddie, I think it's trapping time.
FFred
Right, Velma! And I know the perfect g-- the perfect-- ah-- I-- guh!
FFred
I-- my trapping knowledge! It's gone! My mind is-- is empty!
CCCrybaby Clown
Wahh wahh. So tragic. Oh, well, I offered. (The door closes abruptly and the lights are shut off) Time's up, Crystal Cove.
Well, I think it's safe to say, if the town didn't hate us before. This should certainly do the trick.
(Fred feels disappointed)
FFred
No, Scoob, I'm not. My trap failed, and for the first time, the bad guy got away. And it's my fault.
We're all responsible, Fred. We're a team, remember?
FFred
That's just it, Shaggy. We're not a team. Not without Daphne. And now I know... she's never coming back.
(Sheriff Stone handcuffs Baba Yaga)
FFred
And now, let's see who Baba Yaga really is. (unmasks Baba Yaga)
EEveryone
Curator Vronsky?
Exactly. He was using Baba Yaga's house to smuggle stolen Fabergé eggs into the country.
CVCurator Vronsky
That's right. I was going to sell them on the black market. Finally, I was to be a rich capitalist with all my loot. I had it planned perfectly. Before becoming a museum curator, I spent many years in Spetsnaz, Soviet Special Forces. This allowed me to make modifications on the house using what I could find on the ship. I even put a remote control in my walking stick to move the house. I needed to get assistant curator Anna Arkadyevna out of the way before she became suspicious of my plan. I tied her up and kept her prisoner in the house while I donned the Baba Yaga costume and used the voice modulator to frighten away the curious. But, when one of the eggs was damaged, I had to alter the plan. But you brats kept interrupting my repair of the legs. I could not leave any of my precious eggs behind. There were too many. I needed the house to carry them all. And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you decadent bourgeoisie teenagers and your slobbering, democracy-loving dog!
AAnna
I had my suspicions of Vronsky all along. That is why I came with him. Thank you for saving the Fabergé eggs, our national treasure.
FFred
And now let's see who Crybaby Clown really is. (unmasks the Crybaby Clown)
SSScooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, Hot Dog Water and Fred
Baylor Hotner!
BHBaylor Hotner
That's right-ner. Actor, humanitarian, guy with amazingly super awesome abs. I came here to Crystal Cove to research the part of a crazed clown for my upcoming blockbuster movie, "The Night the Clown Cried". It was gonna be my Oscar. Using my knowledge of Hollywood makeup and effects and a trick buggy I stole from the back lot, I honed my crazed clown performance to perfection. Then, I built my entourage: a therapist, a hairdresser, a plastic surgeon, and a publicist. Everything I needed to be a great actor. Of course, I put tracking chips in all of them because you have to know where your posse is at all times. I even had an innocent small-town girl that would make me look like the nicest guy. I had it all! And I would have been the world's greatest Hollywood thespian, too, if it hadn't have been for you small-town scene stealers.
(slaps Baylor) Small-town that, Baylor Hotner. These are my friends. Take him away, Sheriff.
(Sheriff Stone arrests Baylor)
Thanks, guys. You, uh, really saved me.
FFred
Um, you know, Daphne, you could come back to me... to the gang, I mean.
Really? I'd like that. Very much.
(hugs Daphne) Hooray! Daphne's back. Group hug. (Fred, Velma, and Shaggy hug Daphne) Scooby-Dooby-Doo! And Daphne, too. (laughs)
FFred
He was stealing this wheel of old cheese.
Now let's see who the Hodag really is.
(Shaggy opens the cage and Velma unmasks Hodag)
Hold on. (unmasks Roberto's face)
FFussbuster
(heard in the balcony holding Nova over the edge) That's right. My monkey. Nobody moves or the dog gets it.
Mr. Fussbuster, please, don't hurt Nova. Why are you doing this?
FFussbuster
It all started back when I was a sailor working the trade boats in Indonesia. I learned you could train a monkey to steal. So that's just what I did. I trained Roberto using bells and used him to build up my fortune. When I rang a bell, he would start taking valuable objects. But he became bell crazy, started stealing bells, too. It drove me insane, all of those bells! And he not only brought home the bells, but whatever were attached to them. You don't know how many cats and cows and hunchbacks he brought home with him! But it was all worth it, as we were just about to steal the 500-year-old cheese you have in your hand.
FFred
500-year-old cheese?
FFussbuster
Yes. It was made right here in Crystal Cove by a master Spanish cheesemaker. It's priceless. And with its theft, I could have finally retired to the Netherlands, where they really enjoy cheese properly.
FFussbuster
Shepherd's security was unbreakable. I needed the key. Seemed the best way to get it. Now, toss the cheese up here and she won't get hurt. (Nova is whimpering)
(growling, grabs the cheese) Here, Fussbuster. Fetch!
(Scooby throws the cheese to Fussbuster, Fussbuster tried to steal it but falls down to grass, and Scooby saves Nova)
(Next scene in the police car with Fussbuster and Roberto ringing the bell)
FFussbuster
(groaning) And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those bells. The bells! The bells! (crying)
