Austin & Ally (2011–2016): Season 4, Episode 17 - Mysteries & Meddling Kids - full transcript

Guess who has...

Wait, I actually don't have
any big news to announce.

Weird.

Why am I even here?

Because we're friends?

No, that's not it.

Here, I've got news.

Guess who finished a
song for my new album.

- Ooh, let me see it.
- Don't touch my book!

Uh, what's this?

A bookmark Austin made me.



Look, it's got a picture of him
with little hearts instead of eyes,

because he's looking
at me with love.

And that's why I'm
happy being single.

Oh, I remember why
I came in here.

What are you wearing for the
'70s dance party tonight?

Not sure, but I know Austin and Dez
are psyched about their costumes.

Whoo-hoo!

70s party, here we come!

Hey, geezers, it's
a 1970s party.

You dress like you're from
the '70s, not in your 70s.

Huh? I can't hear
you, young lady?

Talk into my good ear.

Well, I guess we better go get some
new costumes after dinner. Let's go.

But dinner? It's only 4:00.



We don't wanna miss the
early bird special.

It's half-price for
senior citizens!

This is a great
costume idea, Dez.

Yeah, "Groovy goat and the mystery
bunch" is my favorite '70s cartoon.

My favorite character is Reggie.

"Cachoinkers, Groovy.
It's a real whodunnit."

My favorite character is Brenda.

"Hey, guys! It's me, Brenda!"

Brenda really needs a
better catchphrase.

It's so cool that your cousin let
you borrow his goat to play Groovy.

Yeah, too bad we had to smell
him on the ride over here.

What the heck does he eat?

Everything. He's a goat.

Come on, let's dance.

Yeah, I've got disco fever!

Okay, Groovy, will you watch
our stuff for a Groovy treat?

Fine. Two Groovy treats.

Man, he's a good business goat.

Whoo! Disco dancing
really makes me hungry.

Why are you eating Groovy treats?
They're for the goat.

Actually, the package only says
it's recommended for goats.

No, no, no, this
isn't happening!

Ugh, I know.

Someone needs to tell Kevin that wearing
skin-tight bell-bottoms was a bad choice.

No, my songbook is missing!

It was in this bag
and now it's gone!

Cachoinkers, that's horrible! We
have to find out "who dunnit."

Awesome! We get to solve a case,
just like the real mystery bunch!

Well, Groovy saw who took it.
What happened, Groovy?

Uh-huh.

Oh!

I see.

Groovy said to follow him. He
saw which way the thief went.

Really? You got
all that from...?

Uh... yeah!

He also said a few things about your
attitude, but I won't go into that now.

Let's go!

What is this strange place?

It's the school library.

Is it new? I've never
seen it before.

Quiet, this is a library.

And we have a very strict "no
food, drinks, or goats" policy.

Sorry, Mrs. Kravitz. We're
looking for Ally's songbook.

We think someone stole it.

Oh, no, what does it look like?

It is the ultimate manifestation of
love, passion, and every emotion

I've ever felt in my 18 years
on this beautiful earth.

It's a ratty brown book
with an "a" on it.

Oh, I just saw someone run through
here carrying that very same book!

Really? Who was it?

I didn't get a good
look at their face,

but they had a large blond afro
wig and wore a white disco suit.

They were headed
back to the party.

Cachoinkers!

All right, gang, let's go!

Or as my character,
Chaz, would say,

"Let's boogie on out of
here, my funky friends!"

Yeah! Or as my character, Stacy, would
say, "hey, gang! It's me, Stacy!"

Man, they really give the girl
characters the worst catchphrases.

All right, let's see who has a blond
afro wig and a white disco suit.

Go look for clues, Groovy.

Ooh, I found him!

The thief is Chuck! He's
always out to get us.

That's true, he is!
It must be Chuck!

No, look, it's Kimmy
the cheerleader.

Ally beat her out for prom queen
and she still holds a grudge.

That's true, she does!
It must be Kimmy!

No, it's Miles! It's
always the quiet ones.

That's true, he's very quiet!

It must be Miles.

Well, all three are wearing the exact
outfit the librarian described.

So the way I see it, we have...

One... two... three suspects!

Wow, how'd you figure that out?

It's really quite simple. I gave
each suspect a number and...

all right, we get it!

Guys! Someone put
this in my purse.

"I have your songbook. You
have something I want.

I'll tear up a page a
day until I get it."

It's a page from my songbook!

We have to find out who stole it
before there's nothing left of it!

Hmm, so that means the thief must
be strong enough to rip paper.

That narrows it down to...

Three suspects!

I can't believe someone
stole my songbook.

I am so upset.

Ooh, I should write about it in my...
songbook.

But, you see, you can't, Ally.
Because someone stole it.

Let's split up and
investigate each suspect.

Ally and I will take Chuck.

Good idea. I'll go after Miles.

And Groovy and I
will go after Kimmy.

Wait, where's Groovy?

Ooh, Groovy must've discovered
a clue in the popcorn bowl.

Yeah, he discovered
he likes popcorn.

It that Ally's bookmark?

Oops. Sorry.

This is Ally's bookmark!

So you are the thief!

Look, Groovy!

It's the letter "a".

Exactly! The very same kind of letter "a"
from the note Ally got from the thief.

And there's more!

They lead right to a locker.

This just may be Kimmy's locker.

I knew it! Kimmy is the thief!

That evil, menacing, no good...

hey, Dez. Want a
sugar-free cupcake?

Ooh, thanks.

I'm onto you.

That's my new song!

Chuck was singing my new song!

That's great! It's catching on.

No! I haven't released it yet.

It was the one from my songbook.

Which means Chuck is
definitely the thief!

Guys! Miles is
definitely the thief!

Look! He had Ally's bookmark!

Guys! Kimmy is
definitely the thief!

She wrote the ransom
note to Ally!

And she said these cupcakes are
sugar free, but that's a lie.

They just taste way too good.

We need more answers.

Let's put all the
suspects in the same room

and then interrogate them
until someone cracks.

I'll handle it. I have a very gentle way
of coaxing the truth out of people.

One of you lying dirtbags
stole Ally's book

and no one is leaving
until I get a confession!

Hello, Miles. Look familiar?

No. I've never seen it.

Huh?

Your little quiet guy routine
ain't gonna work with me.

Now we can do this the
easy way or the hard way!

Easy way, please.

Look, I don't know why I'm here.

But I didn't do anything wrong.

Um... you didn't, huh?

What about lying about
those cupcakes?

There's no way they
were sugar free.

Dez! Forget about the cupcakes!

Kimmy, what about the cut-out
letters by your locker?

Oh, those?

I used them to make a
collage for spirit week.

Go manatees!

Uh, is this gonna take long?

'Cause I really need
to go to the bathroom.

Sure, Chuck. You can
go to the bathroom.

In jail!

What're you gettin' at?

And, red, why do
you have a goat?

I could ask you the same thing.

You can't, because I
don't have a goat.

Chuck, we heard you singing
Ally's new song earlier.

What? You mean this?

I found it in my locker.

I thought it was a love
song from my sweet Sun Hee.

We broke up again and I thought this was
her loving, tender way of telling me

that she wanted me back.

Well, it wasn't.

This is a song for my new album.

You mean, my sweet Sun Hee

doesn't want to get
back together with me?

Looks like I'm back on
the market, Trish-kabob.

Yeah, that's one market
I'm not shopping in.

So, what do we do now?

Well, we have three...
two... one...

Zero suspects.

Chuck is gone!

He must be guilty.

Let's go find him!

"Come alone to the photo
booth in five minutes

if you ever want to
see your boot again."

My boot?

"Your book. Sorry.
Stupid auto-correct"

don't touch my book!

Oh! Hey!

That's another page
from my songbook!

Oh!

It's you!

Help! Help!

Let me out! I'm trapped!

Help! Let me out!

Dez, your stupid goat led
us to the library again.

Wow, I've been in here
twice in one day.

Look at me, I'm a nerd!

Wait. Where's Ally? I thought
she was right behind us.

Back again I see.

Hey, Mrs. Kravitz, has
Ally been in here?

Oh, I don't know. I
was in the back.

Austin, why don't you and I
search the library for her,

while your two friends and that farm
animal search the rest of the school?

Good idea, really
old librarian lady.

Ally could be in trouble.
There's no time to lose.

You're right. Come on, you stinky animal.
You too, Groovy.

Groovy led us to this trash can.

He must be onto something.

Yeah. He's onto where the buffet
is, Sherlock. Goats love trash.

I thought I heard something.

Guys, help!

All I hear is your stupid goat.

Help!

Quiet, goat!

Trish! Dez! I'm trapped in here!

Wow, Groovy! You sound
just like Ally.

It is Ally.

Cachoinkers, Groovy ate Ally!

Don't worry, Ally,
I'm coming for you!

She's not in the goat, genius,
she's in the photo booth.

Thank goodness you saved me.

You won't believe this. The person
who pushed me in here was...

Who?

I was about to say. It was...

who? Who? I can't
handle the suspense.

I'm trying to tell you.
It was...

why won't you just tell us?

It was Mrs. Kravitz,
the librarian!

Then she must also be the
person who stole your songbook!

Oh, no, Austin's
alone with her now!

We have to save him! Let's go!

One sec. Let me just get some
quick photos with Groovy.

Hello, Austin.

Sorry, Mrs. Kravitz,
you scared me.

I searched the entire library.

Still no sign of Ally,
her songbook, or Chuck.

Aw. Well, I'm sure
they'll turn up.

In the meantime, why not
take a little break?

Uh... I think I'll just
keep looking for Ally.

But I made your favorite...
pancakes.

Ooh, pancakes!

Austin, you're in danger!

We're here to save you
from the mad librarian!

Huh?

Mrs. Kravitz locked Ally
in the photo booth!

And she also stole my songbook!

And she used store-bought pancake mix
instead of making it from scratch!

She's despicable!

She's trying to escape!

Guys, come on!

Oh! We lost her!

Darn you, disco fever!

There she is! Go
get her, Groovy!

Great job, Groovy!

I guess that goat's not
so useless after all.

Okay, I confess. I
stole the book!

Wait a minute. There's something
weird about her face.

They're called wrinkles, Ally.

It's what happens
when people get old.

No, it's a mask!

Now to find out who
the real thief is.

I bet it's Chuck!

- I bet it's Kimmy!
- I bet it's Miles!

I bet it's Channing Tatum!

Brooke!

That's right! And I would've
gotten away with it, too,

if it wasn't for you meddling kids...
and your goat!

Brooke, why did you
steal my book?

Because I knew I could
use it to distract you

and get my beloved
Austin all to myself.

But what about Chuck,
Miles and Kimmy?

They were simply pawns
in my master plan.

I planted Ally's
bookmark on Miles,

used the clippings from Kimmy's
spirit collage for the ransom note,

and stuffed Ally's song
in Chuck's locker,

leading you all on a wild goat
chase, while I stole Austin's heart.

But it didn't work.

But it could have.

- No, it couldn't have.
- Well, it should have.

- But it didn't.
- Says you.

I believe you have something
that belongs to Ally.

Did she hurt you? Mommy's here.
Mommy's here.

Cachoinkers! Another job well done by
Groovy goat and the mystery bunch.

Good job, gang!

Now, let's boogie on out
of here, my funky friends!

Whoo!

Not you.

Did you guys also get a text
saying you won a free fro-yo?

I got that text, too.

Speak up, man!

Hey, guys. We sent
you those texts.

We wanted to apologize
for calling you thieves.

Yeah. It turns out
it was Brooke.

She framed all of you.

She cray-cray.

Well, I wouldn't
call her cray-cray.

She's just a woman in love.

And who wouldn't be in
love with this dream boat?

But just one thing, since you
were innocent, why'd you run?

I told you, I really had to pee.

I drank a lot of punch last night...
lot of punch.

Well, let us make it up
to you with some fro-yo.

Awesome!

Fro-yo rocks!

Sorry, I just get really
excited about frozen yogurt.

After we get our fro-yo, we
can feed it to each other

and then stare into each other's
eyes for hours and hours.

Wait a minute...

Brooke?

Cachoinkers!

Hey, guys, why'd you
leave without me?

Love you. Bye.
