- Ugh.

- Sweetheart, daddy's in trouble.

I told that pinhead to watch his step.

Idiots.

Fantastic, Chrissy, just fantastic.

Wow, look at those numbers.

Up next, Blake and Jones.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING

AND APPLAUDING]

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

[FRED PLAYING GUITAR]

[SINGING] Rainstorm over the ocean

Sunshine after the rain

Clouds rise up from the water

Nature's endless chain

The world keeps on spinning

From day into night

From season to season

From darkness to light

Where's Dewey?

I don't know. He's supposed to be here?

- Where the heck is Dewey?

- Like, nobody knows.

Well, wherever he is,

he's still wearing his headset.

I can hear him. He's breathing hard.

Sounds like he's running and muttering.

Something about soap. But that's what

he's always talking about so...

- Mind if I borrow this? Thanks.

- Hey.

Hey, you, yes. Get me another earpiece.

And a latte. Yeah, yeah, fantastic.

Come on, Scoob.

We've got to get to Dewey's office.

- Soap.

- Yeah. That's what he's talking about.

The soap diamond.

It's right around the corner.

What the heck are you guys

doing in here?

Guys. Wait till you see this footage

I found of...

No time. Dewey. Phantom.

Soap diamond.

[SHAGGY & VELMA GRUNT]

Dewey's the Phantom too.

He told the police

to assign everyone they have here.

He must have done that so no one would

be watching the mineralogical society.

This way.

Knock them dead, Emma.

Is he saying anything?

Oh, I can hear traffic. He's outside.

Like, he just said "Got it."

We might be too late.

There.

Dewey!

Uh...

[LAUGHS]

I am the Phantom.

I know nothing of this Dewey.

Dude, we know it's you.

You're still wearing your headset.

Huh?

Oh, darn.

[DEWEY THUDDING AND GRUNTING]

[ALL GROANING]

The soap diamond.

[CHUCKLES]

No!

Way to go, Scooby-doo.

[ENGINE REVS]

SHAGGY & SCOOBY: Uh-oh!

[BOTH YELL]

I want that diamond!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

DEWEY:
Ha!

[ALL GRUNT]

[FRED SIGHS]

To the Mystery Machine.

[SCOOBY & DEWEY GASP]

[DEWEY SCREAMING]

[SPITS]

Ugh, ew, ew! Ew!

[GROWLS]

[CACKLES]

Yikes! Freddy, he's gaining on us.

[GASPS]

[SCREAMS]

Ew, icky.

He's still right behind us. Huh?

[ALL GRUNT]

[GASPS]

[ALL GRUNT]

[HORN HONKS]

Heh, I can't watch. Thanks, Scoob.

[VELMA & DAPHNE GASP]

There's no way we can lose him.

- He's just too fast.

- Look out.

[BRIDGE BELL RINGING]

What are we gonna do?

Give me that bag.

[ALL GRUNT]

[VELMA & DAPHNE GASP]

[DEWEY YELLS]

[ALL GROAN THEN GASP]

Hold it right there.

Like, heh, that's actually

a pretty good suggestion.

That is the cleanest sword I've ever seen.

Thank you.

Now I'll take that bag. Huh?

[GRUNTS]

The bag, hand it over.

Why do you want this diamond so badly,

anyway?

DEWEY:
I need it to complete my collection

of cleanliness themed treasures.

I've already stolen the Ammonia Lisa

and the Sponge of Turin.

So that was you.

Uh-huh. But you need three things

to make a collection.

Three things. Two is just bookends.

Now give me the bag.

- No!

- Dewey.

[LAUGHS]

[GASPS]

[SCREAMING]

Garbage. Unclean. Unclean.

Ew, ew, ew!

But I got the diamond.

Oh, the soap diamond, gotta find it,

gotta find it, ugh.

Heh, I've got it.

Ha, ha. Huh?

Hmm, yuck, a slobbery dog bone. Ugh.

Ooh, too bad.

[POLICE SIREN WAILING]

[CHUCKLES]

And I would have gotten away with it

if it hadn't been for you meddling kids...

...and your filthy, germy dog.

[EMMA PLAYING VIOLIN]

[AUDIENCE CHEERING

AND APPLAUDING]

Emma Gale, everyone. Fantastic.

Just fantastic, heh.

Hey, look at those numbers.

Oh, it's going to be close.

- Ugh.

- Oh, it is going to be close.

And the voting closes now.

Fantastic. Fantastic.

Unbelievable. It's a tie.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to need

a tie-breaking encore performance.

Right here tonight,

right after these messages.

- This is...

- Fantastic?

Yes. A tie. Do you have another piece

you can do?

- Yeah, but Daphne and Fred.

- What about them?

They aren't here.

They're chasing down another Phantom.

- Another?

- Apparently this time it's Dewey.

Heh, always knew there was something

not right about that guy.

- You. You're the new assistant director.

- Sir, you won't regret this-

Don't care. Emma's up after the break.

We'll just hope Blake and Jones

get back in time. Go.

OFFICER:
Blake and Jones?

- That's us.

- We caught...

- Dewey Ottoman.

Yeah, that Brick guy called,

we know everything.

- Here's the soap diamond, officer.

- Good work. Now, hop in.

You tied with the violin girl

so you gotta do a tie-breaker.

We'll take you back to the show.

- Oh, heh, you don't have to do that.

- Yes, I do.

I got 50 bucks on you to win.

[SIREN WAILING]

So Dewey was the Phantom

who "faded away" in that stairwell.

- How did he do that?

- I checked the camera in the stairwell.

He had made a video loop

of the empty stairwell...

...and spliced it into the camera feed.

Of course. So when he ran in there...

He activated the loop with a remote...

...switching the view on the monitor

to the empty stairwell...

- ...and making it look like he disappeared.

- Very clever.

But, guys,

you'll never guess what I found...

...when I went through

all the backstage camera footage.

This is gonna blow your socks off.

[EMMA PLAYING VIOLIN]

[AUDIENCE CHEERING

AND APPLAUDING]

Fantastic, Emma, just fantastic.

And look at those numbers.

Now it's Blake and Jones's turn and...

Well, heh, apparently,

they are not in the building.

- So it looks like they forfeit their...

GUARD:
You can't bring that dog in here!

[ALL GASP]

Hold it right there.

That dog was instrumental in

the apprehension of a dangerous felon.

Uh, you can bring that dog in here.

Come on.

We have to make some arrangements.

[GASPS]

BRICK:
Ladies and gentlemen, Blake

and Jones are here for their tie-breaker.

- Where were you?

- We caught another Phantom.

Fantastic, just fantastic.

- How many does that make now?

- Three.

- Four if you count the original Phantom.

STEVE:
Call me Steve.

Fantastic work. Fantastic.

Are you ready

for your tie-breaker performance?

We have to do our song again?

Well, no, you have to

do another song, heh.

Grab your guitar, you're on.

Blake and Jones, ladies and gentlemen.

Aren't they fantastic?

What are we gonna do?

We didn't rehearse anything else.

I know. We don't have another song.

- Wait. Yes, we do.

- What?

You know that song you wrote?

Well, I wrote some words for it.

- You did? Why didn't you tell me?

- Just start playing. This will work.

- It has to.

- Blake and Jones, ladies and gentlemen.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING

AND APPLAUDING]

[FRED PLAYING GUITAR]

What is it now?
