- PREVIOUSLY ON
"MYSTERY, INCORPORATED..."
- THERE IT IS--
THE UNDERSEA TOWN!
- I THINK THAT'S
THE LOST TOWN OF MISSIONARIES
THAT DISAPPEARED
ABOUT 300 YEARS AGO.
- THERE IS NO ESCAPE!
NIBIRU...
- IT SOUNDED LIKE...
- NIBIRU.
MY FAVORITE
INTERNET ENCYCLOPEDIA SAYS
THE NIBIRU COLLISION IS
A DISASTROUS ENCOUNTER
BETWEEN THE EARTH
AND A LARGE PLANETARY OBJECT.
I HAVE COBBLED TOGETHER
A RUDIMENTARY PLAYER FOR
THE PLANOSPHERIC DISC.
- [ALL GASP] NIBIRU!
- DOOMSDAY!
- NIBIRU.
[LAUGHTER]
[CRICKETS]
- WELCOME,
VOLUNTEER STAGE HANDS.
THANKS TO YOUR COURT-ORDERED
COMMUNITY SERVICE,
YOU GET TO BE A PART OF
THIS YEARLY TRADITION
WHERE WE THEATRICALLY RECREATE
SOMETHING HORRID
FROM OUR CITY'S
SORDID PAST.
AND WHAT COULD BE
MORE HORRID
THAN THAT NIGHT
500 YEARS AGO
WHEN A TERRIFYING EARTHQUAKE
SENT THE FIRST TOWN
OF CRYSTAL COVE
SINKING INTO THE SEA?
ALL WOULD HAVE PERISHED
IF IT WEREN'T FOR
THE BRAVE EFFORTS
OF FRIAR GABRIELLO SERRA
AND HIS TRUSTY DONKEY PORTO.
AND I'M VERY PLEASED
TO ANNOUNCE
THAT THE ROLE OF FRIAR SERRA
WILL BE PLAYED BY
NONE OTHER THAN
CRYSTAL COVE HIGH'S
MASTER THESPIAN
DOOGLE McGINNIS!
- TA! HOW'S EVERYBODY DOING?
- WELL, DOOGLE,
READY TO REHEARSE?
- CHA! YOU BET!
BUT, UM,
WHAT'S WITH THE DEAD GUY?
- BURLINGTON LIBRARY SENT OVER
GENUINE ARTIFACTS
TO HELP LEND OUR PRODUCTION
AUTHENTICITY,
INCLUDING THE MUMMIFIED BODY
OF FRIAR SERRA HIMSELF.
ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL?
[CLICKS]
WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE LIGHTS?
[CREAKS]
[HISSING]
- [LOW ROARING]
- AAH! AH!
- [ALL SCREAMING]
- [GROWLS]
- [BOTH GASP]
- [ROARS]
- [BOTH SCREAMING]
- [GRUNTING AND WHIMPERING]
- [ROARS]
- [SCREAMS]
- [GROWLS]
[SNARLS]
- [SCREAMS]
- ANYONE WHO DARES TELL MY STORY
IS DOOMED!
- SCOOBY-DOOBY-DOO!
- UP THE SERVANT STAIRCASE,
QUICK!
- BUT DAPHNE,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
- YES, FRED, I DO.
YOU CAN'T KEEP LIVING
BY THE RIVER
IN THE MYSTERY MACHINE.
YOU'RE BEGINNING TO...SMELL.
- BUT I'VE BEEN USING
MY HOBO SOAP.
- HOBO SOAP?
- A PINE CONE DIPPED
IN DEER SWEAT
AND SCENTED
WITH FERRET MUSK.
- BLECH.
- [SNIFFS] HMM.
- WHOA.
- YOU AND NOVA SHOULD BE
OK IN HERE.
BATHROOM'S IN THERE.
THERE'S REAL SOAP IN THE SHOWER.
USE IT.
- I'LL VISIT YOU
EVERY DAY.
[BELL DINGS]
- LIKE, IT'S A TEXT
FROM VINCENT VAN GHOUL.
- WHAT DOES IT SAY?
"HEEP"?
WHAT THE HECK'S THAT MEAN?
- I MEANT TO TYPE "HELP."
I'M NO GOOD WITH
THESE NEW-FANGLED GADGETS.
BUT I WAS IN
SUCH A PANICKED STATE...
MAYOR NETTLES CALLED
AND ASKED ME TO TAKE
OVER THE PLAY.
EVIDENTLY, THE DIRECTOR
AND THE STAR SUDDENLY QUIT.
OBVIOUSLY,
I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE.
I'M A GREAT SUPPORTER
OF AMATEUR DRAMATICS.
AND TRUTH BE TOLD,
MY CAREER COULD USE A GOOSE.
BUT WHEN I ARRIVE,
I FIND THE SET'S BEEN DESTROYED.
AND WORSE,
THE ONLY COPY OF THE SCRIPT
HAS BEEN RIPPED
TO PIECES!
WHAT AM I TO DO?
[CRYING]
- DON'T WORRY,
MR. VAN GHOUL.
- WE'LL HELP YOU.
- WE WILL?
- WE WILL.
AFTER ALL THE TIMES
YOU GUYS HAVE GOTTEN
SCOOBY AND I IN TROUBLE,
YOU OWE US.
- BIG TIME.
- PLEASE?
- WELL...OK.
- OH, THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
- THIS I GOT TO SEE.
- GEORGE AVOCADOS?
- THAT'S AVACADOS.
- MR. AVOCADOS,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
- SWEEPING. THAT'S WHAT
A JANITOR DOES, ISN'T IT?
- JANITOR?
- AFTER YOU ALL DESTROYED
MY FARM,
THE ONLY JOB I COULD GET
WAS BACK HERE AT CITY HALL
AS A JANITOR!
AND A GOOD THING, TOO.
NOW I GET TO WATCH YOU ALL
MAKE FOOLS OF YOURSELVES
TRYING TO PUT ON
THAT PLAY.
AND WHEN YOU FAIL,
I'LL BE HERE
TO CLEAN UP YOUR MESS.
[LAUGHS]
- AVOCADOS!
BACK TO WORK.
- THAT'S AVACADOS.
- BUT--
- STIFLE IT, CHILES.
PERICLES HAS THE FLOOR.
- SO, THE KINDER STILL HAVE
THE DISC.
YOU COULDN'T EVEN MANIPULATE
YOUR OWN SON? PATHETIC.
- FINE. WE FAILED.
- THAT'S RIGHT, BRAD.
- NOT NOW, JUDY.
AREN'T YOU THE SMART ONE
WHO SHOULD HAVE SEEN
THROUGH FRED'S RUSE?
- DON'T PUSH ME,
OLDER PRETTY BOY.
I WANT THOSE PIECES,
AND SINCE YOU
AND YOUR SWEET,
DUMB BRIDE FAILED ME,
IT IS UP TO YOU
TO RECOVER THEM
BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT.
- MOST OF THE SCRIPT'S MISSING,
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE
THEY WERE TRYING
TO TELL THE STORY
OF FRIAR SERRA
AND HIS DONKEY PORTO.
THE ONES
WHO SAVED EVERYONE
WHEN THE FIRST TOWN
OF CRYSTAL COVE SANK
INTO THE OCEAN?
- MM-HMM.
- LIKE, THE SAME UNDERWATER TOWN
WITH THOSE KILLER ROBOTS?
- BINGO.
- HUH?
[BOTH WHIMPER]
- I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY MR. LeFRANC AND DOOGLE
WOULD SMASH THE SET
AND RUN OFF LIKE THAT.
- TYPICAL THEATER FOLK.
I ONCE SAW LIONEL BARRYMORE
ATTACK A SETTEE WITH
A LEAD PIPE.
BUT WE'LL SHOW THEM
WHO THE TRUE PROFESSIONALS ARE.
- BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE ACTORS?
- STOP! DON'T MOVE.
THAT CHIN. THAT NOSE.
YOU SHALL BE
FRIAR GABRIELO SERRA,
AND YOU SHALL BE
HIS DONKEY PORTO.
- WOW. A DONKEY!
- I SHOULD BE ABLE
TO REBUILD THE SET.
- AND I CAN MAKE
THE COSTUMES.
- AND I'LL FINISH
WRITING THE PLAY.
- OH, I LOVE IT.
IT'S SO CLICHE!
- BUT FIRST, I'LL NEED
TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
FRIAR SERRA AND PORTO.
- [HISSES]
- HUH?
HMM. THAT'S WEIRD.
HELLO?
ANYBODY THERE?
HELLO?
OH!
[GRUNTS]
MY GLASSES!
- [ROARS]
- AAH!
- [ROARING]
- [GRUNTING]
[SCREAMS]
[PANTING]
WHOA! OH!
- [BOTH GRUNT]
- AAH!
- [GROWLS]
- NO. STAY AWAY!
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TRANSFERRED
MY DEAD WIFE'S BRAIN
INTO AN EARTHWORM!
- KISS ME, DARLING.
MMM.
- NO! NO!
NOTICE MY ACTING TECHNIQUE HERE.
I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH HER,
YET REPULSED.
- [CHEWING AND GRUNTING]
- HEY, VELMA, MOVE.
- VELMA, YOU ALL RIGHT?
- POOR GIRL LOOKS LIKE
SHE'S SEEN A GHOST.
- TRY MUMMY.
- MUMMY?
- I THINK I KNOW WHY DOOGLE
AND MR. LeFRANC RAN AWAY.
- MY DEAR WOMAN,
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
THIS PRODUCTION WAS PLAGUED
BY A MUMMY?
- I DIDN'T KNOW
MR. LeFRANC AND DOOGLE
WERE TELLING THE TRUTH!
I THOUGHT
THEY WERE MAKING IT ALL UP
TO GET OUT
OF THE PRODUCTION
BECAUSE I WASN'T
PAYING THEM ENOUGH.
- WAIT.
YOU WERE PAYING THEM?
WELL, I AM DONE
WITH THIS CHARADE.
- BUT WE'RE ALREADY SOLD OUT!
WE'RE HAVING CHURROS
SHIPPED IN SPECIAL.
THE NEWSPAPER'S
EVEN SENDING OVER
THEIR BEST CRITIC
VALDESH HELGENJEW.
- HELGENJEW?
OH, NO. NOT HIM!
- LIKE, WHO'S HELGENJEW?
- THE NORWEGIAN ME.
WE USED TO GO UP
FOR THE SAME PARTS.
HE HATES ME BECAUSE
I ALWAYS GOT THE ROLES OVER HIM.
OH, HE'LL SAVAGE ME!
HE'LL TEAR ME APART!
- NO, HE WON'T.
YOU'RE VINCENT VAN GHOUL!
- YOU CAN DO THIS!
- BUT...THE MUMMY...
- DON'T WORRY,
MR. VAN GHOUL.
MYSTERY, INCORPORATED IS
ON THE CASE.
- IF THERE IS A MUMMY FRIAR,
WE'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.
- YOU MEAN IT?
- OH, IT'S ON.
- THAT MUST BE THE CASE
THAT USED TO HOLD
FRIAR SERRA'S
MUMMIFIED BODY.
- BUT WHERE DID IT GO?
- I WONDER WHAT THIS IS.
[SNIFFS]
- EWW.
- APPEARS ORGANIC.
- IT'S OVER HERE, TOO.
IT'S ON ALL OF THESE
BURLINGTON LIBRARY CRATES.
- HEY, DAPH,
MAYBE YOU COULD USE
SOME OF THIS STUFF
TO MAKE A FRIAR SERRA COSTUME
FOR SHAGGY.
- [ROARS]
- HYAH!
- [GRUNTS AND GROANS]
- WOW. THAT WAS ANTICLIMACTIC.
- [GROANS]
- DOOGLE McGINNIS?
- YOU'RE THE MUMMY?
- OF COURSE NOT!
I JUST WANTED TO GET
MY COSTUME BACK.
IT WAS CUSTOM-MADE
TO HIDE MY INHERITED
BUTTOCKS DYSPLASIA.
- WHERE'S MR. LeFRANC?
- WHO KNOWS?
HE'S DISAPPEARED.
AND WHAT WERE YOU ALL
TALKING ABOUT?
WHY WOULD SHAGGY NEED
A FRIAR SERRA COSTUME?
- SINCE YOU
AND MR. LeFRANC LEFT,
WE'RE HELPING VINCENT VAN GHOUL
PUT ON THE PLAY WITHOUT YOU.
- SHAGGY ROGERS IS PLAYING
MY ROLE?
I AM THE FINEST ACTOR
IN CRYSTAL COVE!
I CANNOT BE REPLACED!
IF YOU DO THIS PLAY,
YOU'RE DOOMED.
- EVERYBODY,
LISTEN TO ME.
THE CITY, SHE IS, LIKE, UH,
FALLING INTO THE SEA.
COME WITH US
IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.
- UH, I'M A DONKEY?
- BOO!
- BACK TO WORK, AVOCADOS!
- DON'T WORRY.
RIDICULE IS ALL
A PART OF THE CRAFT.
- LIKE, RIGHT NOW,
I'M MORE INTERESTED
IN CRAFT SERVICES.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, SCOOB?
BREAK TIME?
- YEAH. YUM!
- I'M DOOMED.
- YES, YOU ARE!
[LAUGHS]
- AVOCADOS!
- [MUNCHING]
- YOU FIND ANYTHING?
- JUST A HAM
IN A FRIAR'S COSTUME
WHO DOESN'T WANT
THE SHOW TO GO ON.
- AH. HMM?
- READ MY MIND, BUDDY.
HOO-HOO!
- IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
WHY WOULD DOOGLE SABOTAGE
THIS SHOW?
- HUH?
- NOW WHAT?
- YOU MUST NOT EVOKE
THE MEMORY OF NIBIRU!
THE TELLING OF THE STORY
MUST NEVER BE HEARD!
HE WILL FEED ON IT.
NIBIRU WILL GROW STRONGER,
AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE
TO STOP HIM!
- [SCREAMING]
- AAH!
- [ALL GRUNT]
- DANGER! YOU ARE ALL
IN HORRIBLE DANGER!
- [SCREAMS]
- [LAUGHS]
- AAH!
- YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE
TO STOP HIM!
[GROWLS]
[GROANS]
- LIKE, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
- THIS TIME,
I HAVE NO IDEA.
- HEY, REMEMBER DOOGLE McGINNIS
DID SAY WE WERE DOOMED
IF WE TRIED
TO DO THE PLAY.
- NO. IT'S THAT CRITIC
VALDESH HELGENJEW.
HE'S OUT TO RUIN ME
ONCE AND FOR ALL.
- WHAT ABOUT MR. LeFRANC?
NOBODY'S SEEN HIM
SINCE THE INITIAL ATTACK.
- ONE THING'S FOR SURE--
IF WE'RE GOING TO GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS,
THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
- HUH? [WHIMPERING]
- [BRAYING]
- [BOTH BRAYING]
- [GROANS]
- HMM. THERE HE IS,
HELGENJEW.
OH, I'M SO NERVOUS,
I THINK I'M GOING TO TINKLE.
- NO TIME.
YOU GUYS ARE ON IN 5 MINUTES.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
- NOW, THE HOUR HAS COME TO BE.
THE EARTH AND OCEAN
DON'T AGREE.
THE FAULT HAS SPLIT.
HERE COMES THE FLOOD
TO DESTRUCTIFY
Y'ALL'S NEIGHBORHO'D.
NO TIME TO RUN.
THERE'S ONLY PANIC
WHILE THE MISSION FALLS
INTO THE ATLANTIC.
- IT'S THE PACIFIC,
YOU HACK!
- [LAUGHTER]
- UM, UH, UMMM...
[LAUGHTER]

I WARNED YOU
NOT TO TELL MY STORY.

[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
- NOW, LET'S SEE
WHO THIS GHOSTLY MONK REALLY IS.
- GEORGE AVOCADOS?
- THAT'S AVAC--
AH. OH, FORGET IT.
THAT'S RIGHT,
IT IS ME.
- YES! FINALLY!
I KNEW YOU'D BE
THE VILLAIN EVENTUALLY.
- ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT ME.
AND I SUPPOSE YOU'RE WONDERING,
AFTER SO MANY PRIOR MISDIRECTS,
WHY NOW.
- ACTUALLY, NO.
NOT REALLY.
WE KIND OF ALWAYS KNEW
YOU WERE EVIL.
- HMMPH! OK, FINE.
THEN MY TALE SHOULD
NOT SURPRISE.
IT ALL BEGAN
AFTER I FAILED IN POLITICS.
I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GO
INTO THE FAMILY BUSINESS--
FARMING AVOCADOS.
EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELL
UNTIL YOU MYSTERY BRATS
BLEW UP MY CROPS.
I THEN TRIED MY HAND
AT FORTUNE TELLING.
BUT WHEN THAT ENDEAVOR FAILED...
I FELL BACK ON
THE AVACADOS LEGACY
OF STEALING
OTHER PEOPLE'S THINGS.
I LOCATED THE AVACADOS DIAMOND,
STOLEN BY MY FATHER.
TURNS OUT, IT ACTUALLY WAS
DISGUISED AS A DOOR KNOB--
NOT ON A DOOR
IN CRYSTAL COVE,
BUT ON A DOOR AT
THE BURLINGTON LIBRARY.
WHEN I FOUND OUT
IT WAS AMONG THE ARTIFACTS
SENT HERE
FOR THE PRODUCTION.
I TOOK A JOB AS A JANITOR.
I NEEDED EVERYONE TO STAY CLEAR
OF THE BASEMENT
TO GIVE ME
TIME TO LOOK.
I HID THE BODY OF FRIAR SERRA
IN A CLOSET
AND ASSUMED HIS IDENTITY.
KNOWING THIS TOWN'S
GULLIBILITY,
I KNEW A GHOST STORY
WOULD GIVE ME ROOM TO HUNT.
AND I WOULD HAVE SUCCEEDED, TOO,
IF IT WEREN'T FOR
VINCENT VAN GHOUL.
- MOI?
- SO THE BROWN RESIDUE
THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND...
- THAT'S RIGHT.
GUACAMOLE!
NOW, I WANT MY DIAMOND!
- LET ME SEE SOMETHING.
THIS CRYSTAL IS
THE DIAMOND!
- BUT, LIKE, HOLD ON.
IF YOU WERE THE FRIAR,
HOW DID YOU APPEAR
AT THE REHEARSALS?
- I DIDN'T.
I ASSUMED THAT WAS
YOU MEDDLING KIDS
TRYING TO TRICK ME
INTO REVEALING MYSELF.
- HUH?
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
- OH! HERE COMES HELGENJEW.
I'M RUINED!
[WHIMPERS]
[GROANS]
- THAT WAS
THE SINGLE GREATEST PIECE
OF ABSURDIST META THEATER
THAT I HAVE EVER WITNESSED.
- OH!
- OH, THANK YOU, SIR.
YOU KNOW,
IT CAME TO ME IN A FLASH,
AN INSPIRATION,
TOUCHED BY THE MUSE...
[CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]
- WELL, GANG, I THINK
WE CAN PUT THIS MYSTERY TO BED.
- [LAUGHS]
LIKE, YEAH.
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET
ALL THIS STUFF PUT AWAY
SO WE CAN GO CELEBRATE...
- AT THE CLAM CABIN!
- WHAT THE WHAT?
- THAT'S WEIRD.
HOW'D HE GET BACK IN THERE?
- HOO-HOO! NO, NO.
LIKE, LET'S NOT WAIT
AROUND TO FIND OUT.
[CLICKS]
- HUH?
- YOU ARE STILL IN DANGER.
THE STORY OF CRYSTAL COVE IS
A LIE.
THE DONKEY NEVER TRIED
TO HELP SAVE THE TOWN,
BUT TO DESTROY IT.
THERE WERE 4 OF US AND PORTO
IN THE FRATERNITAS MYSTERIUM,
A GROUP OF
MYSTERY-SOLVING FRIARS.
WE ENCOUNTERED
A CONQUISTADOR.
HE TOLD US
A TALE OF GREAT EVIL
BEFORE HIS MADNESS GOT
THE BEST OF HIM.
AND HE VANISHED
IN THE NIGHT.
HE LEFT BEHIND
TWO ODDLY-MARKED DISC PIECES.
WE QUICKLY BECAME OBSESSED
WITH THE PIECES.
WE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS
AN EVIL AT WORK.
WE ATTEMPTED
TO DESTROY THE PIECES
TO RID US,
AND THE TOWN, OF EVIL.
BUT THE EVIL
WOULD NOT ALLOW US.
[THUNDER]
THE EVIL MANIPULATED PORTO.
PORTO SET OUT
TO DESTROY THE TOWN.
WE CHASED PORTO TO
THE ALLIGATOR-INFESTED
SWAMPS OUTSIDE OF TOWN.
PORTO WAS DRAGGED AWAY
BY THE ALLIGATORS,
BUT NOT BEFORE
I WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE
THE ONE PIECE HE TOOK.
THE OTHER PIECE,
THANKFULLY,
WAS LOST AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
WHEN CRYSTAL COVE SANK
INTO THE SEA.
IT WAS UP TO ME, NOW,
TO HIDE THE LAST PIECE.
BEWARE.
NIBIRU IS COMING.
THIS HAS
ALL HAPPENED BEFORE.
IT BEGINS
WITH THE ANIMAL,
ALWAYS THE ANIMAL.
HEED THE WARNING
OF THE ALLIGATORS.
THE DOG DIES.
- [GULPS]
THE DOG DIES?
IS HE TALKING ABOUT ME?
