[wind howling]
[snoring]
Daphne.
Bear trap.
[sighing]
[intense music]
[growling]
Huh? Hello?
Is someone there?
Oh, cartwheeling kitchen camels,
Fred!
If you've snuck in here again
to conserve body heat
by lying across my legs.
[door creaking]
Ah! Fred?
[gasping]
[groaning]
[intense music]
[growling]
Aah!
You! No!
Not again!
[indistinct]
[chuckling]
[indistinct]
[screaming]
Santa? Wait, no.
Dad!
[panting]
[grunting]
I've gotta get out of here!
Let me go!
- Oh, oh!
- But, dad, what's happened?
[laughing]
[door closing]
[theme music]
[music continues]
(Scooby)
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
[birds chirping]
Gang, there's something
wrong with my dad.
Every day for two weeks now
he runs screaming
down the hall
and ends up sleeping
in the yard.
- Is that normal?
- For your dad? Probably.
My mom was doing
that for a while.
But it just turned out to be
really bad gas
according to the men
who took her away.
I hear that.
Like, a couple of late night
jalapeno-stuffed clam poppers
and it's another all-nighter
on the porcelain!
Raggy, please!
[schoolbell ringing]
Dude, Fred, if you want
Scooby and me could
sleep over tonight.
And my mom has a whole section
of herbal sleep remedies
at her shop.
We could stop by
after school.
Oh, I'd really appreciate that.
Thanks, gang.
See you after class.
Daphne, are you okay?
You look unperfect.
Velma, when you were
going out with Shaggy
did you ever have
trust issues?
He dumped me for a dog.
A dog!
Then he started acting all,
"I want you, Velma, again"
before I sent him back
to his dog.
So, yeah, there were
a few trust issues. Why?
Lately, Fred has been
a little obsessive.
He's even made a schedule
so he knows where I am
and what I'm doing
every moment of the day.
Look at this.
That's only today.
Part one, of 12!
I mean, I know he's complicated.
No, he's not.
But with the way he wants
to control everything I do
I'm starting to feel like
one of his traps.
[instrumental music]
Here you go.
A sampling of my best
herbal teas
guaranteed to relax
body and soul.
'Who wants to try?'
[bubbling]
(Marmalade)
'Your father don't need
no tea, man.'
Your father need
an exorcist, man.
A ghost hunter.
I'm sorry, but..
Who are you?
And what are you doing skulking
in my mom's bookcases?
It's okay, Velma.
This is my new barista,
Lady Marmalade.
Barista? Is that like
a massage therapist?
Because, I have got this knot.
I make coffee drinks, girly.
Espresso, chai latte, mocha
chaka lata yayas, and the like.
I also cast evil spirits
out of unclean souls.
You think my dad's soul
could be unclean?
Hmm, from your aura?
It could definitely
use a good washing.
If you need me, boy,
I'll be behind the milk steamer.
[laughing]
Isn't she great?
I'm just a sucker
for that accent!
[crickets chirping]
Hey, guys. Thanks again
for spending the night.
Why, no problemo, Fred.
If mayor dad is in trouble..
We're here to help.
Doh!
Whoa-ho-ho.
She's hot.
Cool it, Scoob.
Like, that's Fred's mom.
She left when he was a baby.
He doesn't--
Talk about her much.
Sorry, Fred.
I didn't mean anything.
Ah, it's okay, Scoob.
She was pretty.
Maybe someday I'll get
to tell her that in person.
So, uh, anything else
you guys need?
Ah, well, maybe
just one other thing.
[instrumental music]
- Oh!
- Heaven!
[grunting]
The doctor is in,
and I'm sorry to inform you
but...your health insurance
has been denied!
Ha, ha!
[grunting]
Like, man, I am stuffed.
Ohh!
Yeah. I need another stomach
for my stomach.
- Pre-bed pizza?
- Absolutely!
[sighing]
[Fred Sr. screaming]
Dad! I'm coming!
Huh?
Toddling timber monkeys,
Fred! Help!
(Fred)
'Shaggy, Scooby,
I need you now!'
Zoinks!
That sounded like..
Fred!
[growling]
Going somewhere?
[laughing]
[chuckling]
I am an evil pizza!
Like, that is so wrong!
[cackling]
Yikes!
[growling]
[grunting]
rawr
Oh!
Hold on, dad!
To what?
I'm on the ceiling!
Whoa!
[groaning]
Grab this.
It's a fairway wood, it's safe!
[both yelling]
It's really quiet out there.
[growling]
[both yelling]
[screaming]
[groaning]
[laughing]
[birds chirping]
(Fred Sr.)
'Forget it, Fred,
I'm not going back.'
Dad, please.
I can solve this mystery.
Fine, solve away.
Oh, and when you're driven mad
and screaming into the night
without me..
...could you remember to grab me
some more socks?
I'm short a few pairs.
And what's with
the sunflower seeds?
I've been finding them
all over the house.
I-I don't know.
It's okay, Fred.
We'll figure this out.
Daphne, please.
We don't have hugs scheduled
until later this afternoon.
You don't understand, dude.
Like, food turned against us.
There's no reason
to go on living.
I'm sure you two
will eat again
probably in the next
10 minutes or so.
Listen to me, everybody.
Something's trying to
hurt my dad
and I'm gonna figure out
what it is.
But I can't do it alone.
I'm going to need
all of your help
including yours, dad.
(Fred Sr.)
'What?'
I can't hear you,
I'm too comfortable.
I'm serious.
And to prove it.
If I can't solve
what's happening to you
I'll give up
mystery solving forever.
And I'll be whatever
you want me to be.
- Really?
- Freddy, no!
Too late, he said it.
No going backsies.
I've got witnesses, Fred.
[intense music]
With these cameras
set up around the house
we'll be able to watch
and record anything
that comes after my dad.
But there's only one problem.
I'm a trap guy.
I have absolutely no idea
how this stuff works.
Don't worry, I've been stripping
dielectric insulation
off my coax since
before I could walk.
Get ready to worship
the Velma.
[intense music]
- Oh, yeah!
- Yeah!
[banging on door]
Almost forgot.
One more part to my plan.
(all)
Lady Marmalade?
That's right.
Now let's get started, man.
I got a pile of chicken bones
and scented candles
stinking up me butt bag.
Couldn't we have done the seance
somewhere else?
This comforter
is genuine ermine.
Fred, not now, man.
This room is the focus
of the haunting.
Are we gonna talk to
g-g-ghosts?
Yes, barky.
With this spirit board.
I saw one of these
in a Van Ghoul movie once.
You ask it questions, right?
Spirit board, if Scooby-Doo
and I were superheroes
what would our names be?
Steel...Panther.
Oh-ho!
And the Amazing Fanglorious!
Cool. Uh, who's who?
The spirit board
is not to be trifled with.
This is serious stuff, man.
[all gasping]
The spirits have heard us.
Now, who would like to ask
a real question?
I guess I will.
Um, hi, spirits.
Thanks for coming.
I'm Daphne,
and I guess my question is
if you like a boy but he kind of
has control issues--
Okay, that's it! We're done.
But, Lady Marmalade,
the haunting!
[blowing]
I am a fourth generation
voodoo goddess!
I sleep on a bed of
alligator skull and hot coal.
That takes skill, man.
I'm gone.
No one's going anywhere.
It's my haunting.
I'll ask a question.
Okay, spirits, listen up.
Who are you, and why are you
doing this to me?
[all gasping]
What's it saying?
"I am an old friend
"and I want
what you took from me."
Dad, does that mean
something to you?
No, of course not!
Lady Bouillabaisse..
- Marmalade.
- Whatever.
Is obviously trying to
pull some sort of scam.
[screaming]
My ermine!
Oh, you done it now, man.
You've disrespected
the spirits
and now they're mighty angry!
Huh?
[laughing]
[screaming]
[laughing]
'Give me it!'
Like, this is worse
than being attacked
by our favorite foods!
I'll say!
[both yelling]
[indistinct yelling]
[growling]
[screaming]
[roaring]
[growling]
[hissing]
[screaming]
Freddy!
[screaming]
Knock it off, Tyler!
[roaring]
Fred, you know that moose?
I spent a lot of time alone.
He's a good listener.
[all yelling]
Dudes!
- Like, that was close!
- I'll say.
Dad, I don't know
what's in there
but it sure hates you.
- Dad?
- Fred!
Dad!
Dad! Can you hear me? Dad!
Lady Marmalade, you've dealt
with this kind of thing before.
What do we do?
Voodoo is very clear
what to do in situations
like this, girly.
Run! Oh, ohh!
Like, wow,
all this time I had no idea
running away from monsters had
anything to do with voodoo.
Fred, come back!
Dad? Dad, can you hear me?
If you can't speak,
just blink twice.
Wait, that only works
if I can see him.
Fred, what about the cameras?
We can rewind them
and see what happened.
I'll cue it up
right before the door slammed.
[sighing]
Do you mind?
I know holding hands
isn't on the schedule, but..
That's okay, Daph.
I'm sorry for being
so obsessive lately, it's..
It's just that people around me,
people I care about..
...I keep losing them.
I guess I'm afraid
of losing you too, Daph.
You're never going to
lose me, Fred.
Got it!
That's right before
he was grabbed.
Play it forward, Velma.
He wasn't grabbed.
Like, he did it himself.
That can't be.
We missed something.
Find another camera.
That looks like the thing
we found in the Darrow Mansion.
No, the markings
are different.
It must be another piece.
But why does my dad have it?
[Fred Sr. screaming]
Dad?
But why is he screaming?
He's all alone.
What we're watching
is a minute behind.
- That could mean..
- Dad!
Hold on, I'm coming!
Dad, where are you?
Where are you?
Dad, are you in here?
[sighing]
No.
[gasping]
He's gone. I failed.
You didn't fail, Fred.
We'll find him.
Let's go, you two.
There has to be some clues
around here somewhere.
[sniffing]
Huh?
[sniffing]
Hey, I found something.
Sunflower seeds.
Hey, my dad said he'd been
finding them all over the house.
[sniffing]
[whimpering]
phew
- Like, what is that thing?
- It's one of my traps.
But it looks like
someone has modified it..
...to shoot fire!
Why would one of your traps
be under your dad's bed?
I've got traps
all over the house.
I mean, how would it look?
Me, an expert trapper,
letting someone
break into my house
and not trapping them?
Fred, that's exactly
what's happened here.
Could someone have accessed
your traps
to use them against your father?
Well, they'd have
to outsmart me first.
I mean, come on.
Hmm-mm.
Okay, maybe,
if they hacked my computer.
It controls everything
I've set up.
But, still,
it would take a genius.
A genius that eats
sunflower seeds.
Gang, I think we're close
to solving this mystery.
But to do that,
we're going to need to
make sure no ghost
gets out of this house.
[instrumental music]
[beeping]
[crickets chirping]
(Velma)
'Now, time to abandon the house
and put our trap in motion.'
[intense music]
[music continues]
Scared away so easily?
I'm disappointed,
Mystery Incorporated.
I expected more from you.
Huh?
[roaring]
[groaning]
[roaring]
[groaning]
We got him!
Uh.
[grunting]
Wood gets older than kindle!
Nice to see you again.
(all)
Professor Pericles.
Well, hello, children.
- How did you know?
- Simple.
There's only one brain
large enough, beside my own
that could have
pulled this off.
We found the Trojan Horse
program
you put on Fred's laptop
that let you control
all of Fred's traps remotely.
(Pericles)
Fred really
should have come up
with a more secure password
than "trappin' guy."
(Shaggy)
Once you had control
of the traps
it was like totally simple
to simulate
a haunting
and terrify the mayor.
(Velma)
And your avian attributes
provided the means
to make your spooky shadow
creep float like a real ghost.
(Daphne)
Too bad for you
your avian diet gave you away.
(Pericles)
Oh, what can I say?
A bird's got to eat.
It still doesn't explain
where my dad is
and why you were
haunting him.
Why do you think?
I wanted his piece of the
Planispheric Disk, of course.
'I knew he would have it close.'
I just didn't know where.
So I decided
to scare it out of him.
Planispheric Disk?
But how did you know
he had it in the first place?
Because, dear friend,
he stole it from me
a long time ago.
Don't believe me?
Ask him yourself.
[grunting]
[all yelling]
thud
I am the smartest criminal
parrot in the world!
You didn't think
I have a back-up plan?
[chuckling]
Until we meet again.
Auf wiedersehen
Mystery Incorporated.
Did you know we were
standing on a trap?
Honestly,
there's so many in this house
I've kinda lost track.
[muffled yelling]
Zoinks! Another ghost!
Dad!
Whoa!
[groaning]
- You're okay?
- Dimpled puppet eggs, Fred!
I am clearly not okay.
Untie me.
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-that's absurd!
We confiscated it
off him years ago
when we locked him up.
I 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?
[chuckling nervously]
How should I know?
Are you kids trying
to imply something?
- Because, if you are..
- No, no, dad.
We're just all really happy
you're okay.
That's what's important,
right, gang?
This mystery is over.
I'm not sure this mystery
is over at all.
