Not if we-- Oh! Ow.

I know it hurts,

but you have to be

quiet, okay?

No. It's not that.

I sat on something.

It was in my pocket.

Duncan, do you still

have your slingshot?

Always.

What are you doing?

Take this.

Okay, I'm going to show you

exactly where he is.

Do not fire until you know

exactly where he is, okay?

Is this

a firecracker?

We only get one shot.

Kelly.

Huh?

He blew into my mouth.

Okay, Jason.

You can do this.

Just shut off the power.

And don't get your face

blowed off.

Okay.

Buckle my shoe.

[phone rings]

[Jason]

Duncan, now!

Oh, f***.

[thud]

[gurgling]

Holy fudge, what a hit.

Gee whiz.

I hope

those were baby teeth.

What the hell?

Someone stole

that guy's face.

[Kelly]

Jason?

No. No. Eyes open, okay?

Eyes open. Come on.

Hey, let's play

the awake game.

We love that game.

We love that game.

Oh, this really hurts.

Oh, f***.

Oh, that's fun to say,

right? It's fun?

Yeah. That's really fun.

You were right.

Okay,

just keep your--

Just keep talking,

okay?

Keep your eyes open.

Kelly, you're so neato.

I really like you.

Jim told me to say that.

I don't want to be like him.

He's pretty sad.

And Frank pooped

in the punch bowl.

Jason.

[police radio chatter]

[policeman]

We've got a code 1141.

We've got a gunshot victim

at the lumber yard.

[Eric]

Hey.

Hey. Hey, man,

wake the f*** up.

Ow! Ow!

I was shot there,

you jerk!

Go whine like a little b*tch.

I was shot, like, three times.

Whoa! Holy cannoli.

I want to be here

for your first day,

but I got to take care

of something first.

Take your time.

I've been caught

so many times,

I know how it's done.

I've got this.

She's all yours.

Be good to her.

New Mystery Team,

there's a mystery afoot.

Jessica Hellman's diary

is missing.

I think Bobby Moss took it.

Where that nigga live?

Hey, Dad, can I

have the car keys?

Don't forget about

Brianna's recital tonight.

I won't. Bye, Mom.

Bye.

Bye, Brianna.

Bye, Jason.

[car alarm beeps]

Sorry

I'm just getting here.

You getting rid of this, too?

Yeah.

Uh, you're out

of toilet paper,

so I just toughed it out.

Hey, Jason.

Ah. Hey, Charlie.

How are Brianna and Kelly?

They're good, you know.

Brianna's good.

My mom loves

having a little girl,

and Kelly's at Dartmouth,

so I'll see her

at Thanksgiving.

Ah, so you can only

date your sister, huh?

Well, no. Brianna was

adopted by my parents.

Kelly is technically an--

That's awesome.

That's awesome.

So you and Kelly, huh?

You guys...

Come on, man. You can

tell me what this means.

Please?

No time, man. I got to get

to my job, actually.

Oh, right.

Medical technologies?

Uh, yeah.

They treat me pretty well.

They give me benefits,

and it's part time,

so I can take those

private eye classes

I've wanted to.

Don't you need a degree

for medical technologies?

You'd think so.

Take care, okay?

I'll miss you.

All right.

I'll call, okay?

Ohh! [cough]

Ahh.

Okay.

Well, countdown

to your goodbye, right?

Yeah, U of M--

University of Miami.

It's Michigan.

Michigan.

Mom?

Please! Help me! Help me!

What happened?

I don't know. He just

came out of the woods.

Please. Please. Help me.

I don't remember my name,

and they took everything.

They took everything...

except this.

I don't know what it means.

Maybe it'll help.

Maybe-- Maybe it will.

Maybe it will.

I don't know.

[together]

Mystery Team! All right!

They cut off my f***ing balls!
