-Run! -(CRASHING)
(ALL PANTING)
Velma, hurry!
I'm looking!
My ancient Molalla is a little rusty.
And the fact I speak any ancient Molalla should make you gaze at me
with awe and respect instead of (MIMICKING), "Velma, hurry."
Like, if ancient Molalla fails,
we have ancient cutting edge military technology.
You realize those are made of Styrofoam.
Hmm.
It's hopeless. It knows how I think.
This is my fault.
I unleashed this on the world!
Move!
(ALL SCREAMING)
This way!
(CRASHING)
(ALL GROAN)
(SNARLING)
Easy girl.
(ALL SCREAMING)
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
SCOOBY-DOO: Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
DAPHNE: Wow! Those rocks are unreal.
It's like something out of a dream.
Nah. My dreams can be divided into two categories.
Eating food and not being able to eat food.
Aka, nightmares.
SHAGGY: Hey, like we're going to Velasco?
We've already solved a mystery there.
I never forget a town we've run from in horror.
We have terra-graphic memories.
We're just passing through Velasco.
Besides, the odds are already astronomical
that every town we go to has a mystery.
It's mathematically impossible
that a town we've already been to would have a second mystery.
-(GASPS) -ALL: Whoa! (GRUNT)
-(SIRENS WAILING) -(INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER RADIO)
Like, you were saying, Velma...
There is nothing here to suggest a mystery, per se.
Fred Jones? Am I glad to see you!
We got a real mystery on our hands. Again.
-(SIGHS) -Weird.
FRED: Good to see you again, Officer Rowan.
Detective Rowan now. Thanks to you.
I got promoted after you caught the Broccoli monster.
I literally only handcuffed him and took him away,
and boom! Detective. So undeserved.
Detective, we're wasting time standing around.
My lab does work for museums around the world.
If word spreads that someone just strolled in
and tampered with a priceless relic,
I'll be ruined.
This is Mr. Meldon, owner of the Meldon Archeological Science Laboratory.
You said someone tampered with the relic?
-Yes! -(ALL GASP)
It was the Ogdimora.
An intruder entered my lab and opened it
(LISPING) releasing the evil force imprisoned within it.
BOTH: Evil force?
Yes!
Dr. Blum here hit the emergency evacuation alarm
because he believes that superstitious nonsense. Not me.
Hey, you know, these guys solved the strange case here months ago.
I couldn't have done it without them.
In fact, I had nothing to do with it.
I'm totally living a lie!
This does sound right up our alley.
We'd be happy to take a look around.
As long as someone does something!
Dr. Blum, show them the lab.
-Me? -Yes, you.
I'm gonna fire the security company over this.
You could be next.
That way.
Okay. Here's what I found on this Ogdimora that's been opened.
Legend says an ancient village was being terrorized by an evil force
that could inhabit anything, living or inanimate.
A holy man used a sacred book to trap the evil force inside the Ogdimora,
never to be released.
In here.
The infrared spectrometry lab.
(DOORS HISSING)
Careful! That thing could still be here.
It could be anywhere, anything, anyone.
(WHIMPERS) Like, guys, why don't Scoob and I
go look for clues outside?
Yeah. Clues are outside sometimes.
Fine.
The intruder may still be here,
so keep an eye out for anyone acting...
(SCOOBY-DOO AND SHAGGY WHIMPER)
Hmm.
Velma, you said it was impossible
there would be another mystery here.
What if you were right?
Impossible mysteries.
What if this is all a dream?
Ow! What'd you do that for?
You can't feel pain in dreams. You're awake.
Is that the Ogdimora?
-Yes! -Ahhh!
Now that it's free, the evil force will jump
from one hiding place to another
in search of the most powerful protective shell it can find.
I wonder what the intruder was after.
Maybe they opened the box, thinking there was some kind of treasure in it,
but instead, got chased off by an evil force.
Sounds like dream logic to me.
Well then, whoever it was, is probably long gone by now.
Hey, the sacred book used to trap the evil force was found years ago
and is on display at the museum here in town.
Maybe that book contains a clue that'll help us solve this mystery.
(CREAKING)
(SCREAMS) The evil force!
(GASPS) Ahhh!
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
(EVIL FORCE HISSING)
(SCREAMS)
-Let's get out of here! -(ALL GRUNTING)
(ALL SCREAMING)
(DR. BLUM WHIMPERING)
-(GROWLING) -(ALL SCREAM)
Who knows how long we can contain it?
Let's get to the museum and grab that book.
(GROWLING)
(EVIL FORCE HISSING)
SHAGGY: Like, we need some clue-finding fuel.
Let's step into our emergency sandwich stash.
So, like, Scoob. See anyone suspicious?
(GROANS)
Like, why'd you do that for?
I didn't do anything.
So, did you guys find anything?
(GROANS) Only that Scooby has food trust issues.
I didn't do anything.
So, did you guys figure it out?
'Cause honestly, I don't know anything about police work.
-(VAN DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES) -Totally unqualified.
Just don't let anyone in that building, Detective.
There's a book at the museum that may be able to
help us figure out what's going on here.
We've got this totally under...
-(HONKING) -(GRUNTS) Hey!
Scooby, what's the deal?
I didn't do anything.
VELMA: Daphne, for the last time, we're not in a dream.
But everything you're saying is totally what dream Velma would say.
But you're Daphne Blake.
This is too dull to be your dream.
And if you're aware you're dreaming,
you'd have control over it.
(GASPS) That's it! A test!
I'll try flying.
(STRAINING)
Whoa, hey! What's going on?
VELMA: We're in helicopter mode.
I didn't activate helicopter mode!
I knew it! I'm making us fly!
Well, like, make us land!
Why not blame me?
(STRAINING)
Oh, I can't get us down.
(ALARM BEEPING)
Uh, Fred?
I can't control it.
VELMA: If we go too high, we won't be able to breathe!
Hang on!
(GASPS)
(ALL SCREAMING)
Like, when were you gonna tell us you had a
dump-everyone-out-of-the-van lever!
(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING)
Great. You got control back.
I didn't do that.
Then who did? Because it wasn't me.
It's the evil force.
(ENGINE REVVING)
It can't be.
(ALL SCREAMING)
(CLICKING)
(ALL SCREAM)
(GROANS)
Still too dull to be my dream, Velma?
Think about it. The evil force seeks out
the most powerful protective shell it can find.
What's better than the Mystery Machine?
No, we're talking about the Mystery Machine.
My Mystery Machine. My baby.
I can reason with it. It'll listen to me.
But we don't even listen to you.
-Hey! -(TIRES SCREECHING)
I command you to stop!
Stop.
Stop! Stop! Sit! Heel! Roll over!
(BRAKES SCREECHING)
Hey, hey, calm. Hello, girl, it's me. Freddy.
The one who raised you, nurtured you.
Lovingly made you into the special girl you are today.
So special.
Yeah.
That's right. It's okay.
It's all gonna be okay.
You don't wanna hurt anybody.
(MACHINERY WHIRRING)
I was wrong! She does wanna hurt! She does wanna hurt!
(ALL SCREAMING)
(MACHINERY WHIRRING)
(ENGINE REVVING)
(ALL EXHALE)
So, like, how are we gonna get to the museum now?
Ugh!
(VELMA PANTING)
Looks like the coast is clear.
No time for a breather. Let's go.
(VELMA PANTING)
(CREAKING)
Shh! Be very quiet.
Eh, whatever.
Fred, are you okay?
I... I can't believe it.
The Mystery Machine tried to blow me to smithereens.
Me.
How can the Mystery Machine be my enemy?
It... It's just not... It's not possible.
How many totally not possible things have to happen
before you guys start buying into my whole
"it's all just a dream" theory.
Like, 11?
Sixteen for me.
Guys, you don't understand.
We can't beat the Mystery Machine.
I created her. I know what she can do.
And even if she is trying to hurt me,
I'm not sure I have it in me to hurt her.
Hopefully it won't come to that.
Right now, though, we got to get that book.
It might be the only chance to regain control of the Mystery Machine.
-WOMAN: Well, Mr. Meldon. -Someone's coming. Quick!
I'm glad you're finally taking my advice to upgrade your security.
Like the museum did.
Come on, Lori, you know as well as I do.
We were forced into hiring your security firm.
-(LEGS RATTLING) -(GRUNTS)
I don't foresee ever needing your firms excessive and expensive security.
(STRAINING)
Did you foresee someone breaking in and unleashing an evil spirit on the world?
That never would have happened on my watch.
(SCOOBY-DOO STRAINING)
For instance...
Obviously, ascots were invented much later in history.
(SCOFFS) I hate people bad at their jobs.
(ALL EXHALE)
That's strange. I thought Meldon wanted to keep an eye
on the investigation back at his lab.
He's clearly a desperate man trying in vain to control
a world of utter chaos.
Sheesh. Project much, Fred?
This is it. The sacred book.
It looks like it's filled with rituals and incantations written in ancient Molalla.
It's gonna take me a while to translate everything.
Well, like, you have time since we seem to have lost the Mystery Machine.
Maybe it's not quite as dangerous an enemy as Fred thinks.
(GLASS SHATTERING)
(ALL SCREAM)
(ALL SCREAMING)
(GASPS)
This way!
(ALL GASP)
Oh, no.
(ALL SCREAMING)
(ALL GRUNT)
(GASPS)
Get down!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
It's stuck! Now is our chance!
It's not gonna take long to free itself.
There's no way we can outrun it.
Daphne, I think it's time for plan B.
And there it is.
What is that?
Mother does a little steep canyon drag racing on the side.
She has these cars custom built for her.
I'm driving!
Stick shift? What is this, 1974?
I can't drive stick.
Real racers prefer the control of a manual transmission, which gives...
(CRASHING)
Never mind! Switch!
(ENGINE REVVING)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Like, an evil-force-trapping incantation would be good right about now.
This would be a lot easier if I didn't get car sick.
(RETCHING)
These seats are way too restricting.
Oh, no, you don't! Not in my dream!
The incantation. I found it! (GRUNTS)
And I lost it.
ALL: (GRUNT) Whoa!
All right, let's play!
-(FRED WHIMPERS) -Missed me!
Too slow!
Try again!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(MACHINERY WHIRRING)
(ALL SCREAMING)
(ALL GROAN)
Ha! That wasn't so hard.
Are you kidding?
The suspension on this thing is terrible.
(WHOOSHING)
Abandon ship!
(ALL SCREAMING)
(ALL GROAN)
-Come on! -(ALL WAILING)
The book!
Like, sorry, Daph, your mom's gonna throw a fit
when she learns you wrecked her car.
You'll be grounded.
Nah, she goes through five or six of those a month.
So, that's it.
The Mystery Machine is gone for good.
The evil force has no reason to leave it now.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Some guy sneaks into a lab, looking to steal treasure,
and now we're stranded in a desert hiding,
so Fred's van doesn't blow us up.
Like, this really is a nightmare.
Maybe Daphne's right.
Yeah, dogs can't talk.
Exactly, guys.
Look at us, could this get any more bizarre or any worse?
If it's even possible that none of this is real,
we need to find out.
Wait! That's it!
None of this is real.
Fred, that's the answer.
We need to...
Fred, what are you doing?
It's time to get my girl back.
(SIGNAL BEEPING)
All right, it's just you and me,
so take your best shot.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(GRUNTS)
(GRUNTING)
Nice try!
But I know you better than you know yourself.
(GROANS)
-(BEEPING) -A-ha!
Gotcha!
Oh, no.
ALL: No!
Fred!
-Fred. -(WHIMPERS)
Oh, no.
It's time to wake up. It's time to wake up.
-(VELMA GASPS) -Fred!
(ALL LAUGH)
Don't do that again.
Deal.
Did you find what we're looking for?
I did.
This is what was controlling the Mystery Machine.
Now, let's see who's controlling this.
(BEEPING)
Gotcha!
Okay, what's going on?
I just don't see anything here.
That's the idea.
Detective, here's your evil force.
ALL: Dr. Blum?
Exactly!
Lori Walsh tried to get Meldon
to switch to her security company for his lab.
But he balked at the price.
Desperate to expand her clients,
Lori paid Dr. Blum to make it appear
Meldon's security was not up to par.
VELMA: Blum knew the legend of the evil force
inside the Ogdimora.
He rigged objects by remote controls
so they appeared possessed.
And then utilized common Wi-Fi frequencies
to transition from controlling one object to another.
By making it seem like an evil force had been freed,
he knew Meldon would see how one security lapse could ruin him.
He hired Lori's company within hours.
FRED: Rowan introduced us as great mystery solvers.
Concerned we'd uncover his plan,
Blum decided to get rid of us.
He hid a remote device in the Mystery Machine,
giving him complete control of all the systems on the van.
We thought the evil force was trying to stop us
from getting the book that could trap it again.
Then Daphne made us realize that none of it,
the entire story, the intruder and the evil force was real.
My meddling totally beats your meddling hands down.
You just got lucky.
Can I take him away now?
Absolutely.
Maybe this time they'll make me mayor.
Aw, welcome back, girl.
One thing troubles me.
When did Blum put the transmitter in the Mystery Machine?
He was there with us when Detective Rowan introduced us
and stayed with us the whole time we were in the lab.
And, like, the Mystery Machine started acting funny before you guys came out.
Everyone blamed the dog.
Well, he must have snuck it on there at some point.
(CELL PHONE BEEPS)
Hmm. Blocked caller.
"Impressive, Mr. Jones.
"You're obviously not to be underestimated."
Tongue sticking out emoji, spider emoji and...
Huh, what's this? Like a panini or something?
"Who is this?"
"Just someone keeping an eye on yogurt."
"Yogurt."
"Shoot."
"Yogurt."
"Aaargh!"
"You."
"Stupid auto-correct."
Like, is someone watching us?
