03x17 - Blue's Big Mystery

Post by bunniefuu »

Hi, out there!

It's me, Steve.

Have you seen Blue, my puppy?

There she is!

Come on in.

[barking...]

Hi.

Come on in.

Something very mysterious happened...

and I want to tell you about it.

Come on.

Okay.

So, this is what happened.

It was early this morning

and Blue and I had just finished our toast and jelly.

We were in the backyard playing a game of Kick the Ball.

Blue kicked the ball pretty hard

and it flew past a stone wall.

Now, that was our favorite ball

so I went to go get it.

And that's when I saw something... mysterious.

It was new... it was different...

It was something I had never seen before!

It was a cardboard box...

and a stack of logs...

with some stones in front.

It looked like somebody was building something.

A fort, maybe!

But I didn't know who.

"Blue," I called, "did you build this?"

Blue said no.

So we looked around and we wondered:

Who could the mystery builder be?!

Hey, wait a minute...

You're good at building stuff.

[barks]

You come over a lot.

[barks]

Are youthe mystery builder?!

Nope.

No?

Really?

Well, if you're not the mystery builder

and I'm not the mystery builder

and it's not Blue

well, then, who is the mystery builder?

[barking]

Oh! Great idea!

We'll play Blue Clues to figure this out.

We can be like... like detectives

who use clues to solve a mystery.

♪ We are gonna play Blue's Clues ♪

♪ 'Cause it's a really great game, yeah. ♪

So remember... Blue's paw print

will be on the clues: Blue's clues.

Okay, that was mysterious.

Where did the paw print go?

That way!

Ah... nice work, detective.

Those little marks are the evidence

that the paw print went that way.

Hey, you know what we need to play Blue's Clues:

our handy-dandy...

Notebook!

Notebook, right.

Come on.

Hello, detectives.

You might need this for your mystery.

Oh... right.

Our notebook.

So we can right down the clues to our mystery.

Thanks, Side Table.

You're welcome.

To play Blue's Clues, we got to find a...

Paw print!

Oh, a paw print, right.

And that's our first...

Clue!

A clue? A clue!

Then we put it in our... Notebook!

♪ 'Cause they're Blue's clues, Blue's clues ♪

♪ We got to find another paw print, that's the second clue ♪

♪ We put it in our notebook, 'cause they're whose clues? ♪

♪ Blue's clues

♪ We got to find the last paw print, that's the third clue ♪

♪ We put it in our notebook

♪ 'Cause they're Blue's clues, Blue's clues ♪

♪ You know what do-- sit down in our thinking chair ♪

♪ And think, think, think

♪ 'Cause when we use our minds, take a step at a time ♪

♪ We can do anything...

[barks]

♪ That we want to do.

You know, I can tell I'm really going to need your help today

trying to figure out who the mystery builder is.

Will you help?

You will?

Great!

So, did you see which way Blue went?

That way!

[barks hello]

Aha!

Blue's head was the evidence that she went that way.

Come on.

♪ Looking for clues to our mystery ♪

♪ To find out who the builder might be. ♪

[whispers]: Psst! Steve...

Steve!

Steve, Steve!

Steve, down here...

Who's calling my name?

Mr. Salt, right there.

Hey, Mr. Sa...

Shh! Quiet!

[whispers]: What going on?

Something very mysterious

is happening around here.

[scratching]

Listen!

There's a scratching sound

coming from behind that door! Listen!

[scratching]

Look!

A leaf!

Wow.

I wonder who left it.

Maybe... [gasps]

The mystery builder!

That's a definite possibility.

Well, let's see if we can figure out

where this mystery leaf came from.

Ah, you're thinking

like a true detective.

So... where do leaves come from?

Trees!

Trees, right.

Well, let's see if we can find some trees.

Thanks, Mr. Salt.

Okay... there are some trees over there.

Well, which trees do you think this leaf could have come from?

The apple trees...

the maple trees...

or the evergreen trees?

The maple trees.

Okay, there are still a lot of trees to choose from.

So, which trees do you think this leaf could have come from?

Those right there.

Those?

Well, how do you know?

Oh, yeah, this brown leaf

is the same color as the leaves on those trees.

Come on.

All right, detective.

We still have three trees to choose from.

So, which tree do you think this leaf could have come from?

That tree right there!

That tree?

How do you know?

Oh... right.

Yeah, see?

This leaf is the same shape as the leaves on this tree...

and the same color.

Way to use the evidence.

A clue, a clue!

Really? You see a clue? Where?

Right there!

Aha!

These little footprints

are our first clue to our mystery.

You know what we need?

Our handy-dandy...

Notebook!

Notebook, right.

So... these little footprints.

So, we start with a curved shape for the heel...

and four ovals for the toes... like this...

Another heel...

Four more ovals for toes...

And we have footprints.

[barks]

Hey, Blue, we found our first clue:

these footprints.

[barks]

Hey... are these your footprints, Blue?

[barks question]

[barks no]

No... so who could the mystery builder be

with footprints?

You know, the clue is kind of like evidence.

What part of the body makes footprints?

Feet!

Feet, right.

So the mystery builder must have feet!

[barks]

Do you know the answer yet, Blue?

[barks no]

You know, let's follow these footprints

and see if we can find the feet that made them.

[barks]

Hey... there's Pail.

Okay, so... if we know that the mystery builder has feet

could Pail be the mystery builder?

No.

No. No, because...

Pail doesn't have feet.

So she couldn't have made those footprints.

[barking]

Let's keep looking.

[chattering]

It's Tickety.

Does Tickety have feet?

Yes!

Yeah, Tickety does have feet!

Maybe she's the mystery builder.

Excuse me, Tickety.

We don't mean to bother you.

We just need to check some evidence.

Um... okay.

So, Tickety, is it true that you have feet?

Yeah, I have feet.

Aha!

Tickety has feet.

So, would you mind making, uh, some footprints

in that dirt over there, please?

Okay.

All right, so...

Do those footprints match these?

Nope.

No... you're right.

Those footprints are a different shape

from the ones we found.

They don't match the evidence.

Well, Tickety, uh, thank you for your cooperation.

No problem.

Hey, Tickety's not the mystery builder, either.

We better keep looking for clues.

♪ ...Mail Time, Mail Time!

The mail's here!

Let's go!

♪ Here's the mail, it never fails ♪

♪ It makes me want to wag my tail ♪

♪ When it comes, I want to wail, "Mail!" ♪

[barks]

Ah...

[whispers]: Psst... Steve...

Oh, hey, Mailb...

Shh... I got something for you.

It's a mystery letter!

A mystery letter?

[whispers]: Thanks, Mailbox.

We just got a letter.

♪ We just got a letter

♪ We just got a letter

♪ We just got a letter

♪ Wonder who it's from?

It's a leaf!

And it's just like the one we found before.

Shovel: Steve, come to the fort!

Pail: Steve, the fort is growing!

Yeah, look.

There's a roof on this fort...

and it's made from leaves

that look just like this one.

Very mysterious.

The mystery builder has struck again.

This fort is awesome!

[bushes rustling]

Shh...

[whispers]: Maybe that's the mystery builder.

A clue, a clue!

What, you see a clue?

Where?

Right there!

[squeaks]

I didn't see it.

Which way did it go?

That way!

That way?

Follow that clue!

Look, it's the house next door.

I wonder if the clue is anywhere around here.

The clue, right there!

[squeaks]

Where?

There!

There.

[squeaks]

Right there!

Do you still see it?

No.

Well, we better write it down.

Uh, what was the clue on?

A tail!

A tail, great.

We need our handy-dandy...

Notebook!

Notebook, okay.

So, a tail.

Whew.

Wait... how am I going to draw a tail

if I didn't even see it?

Maybe you can help.

Um, so was it a...

straight tail or a curvy tail?

Curvy.

Curvy!

Wait, was it, uh, really bushy or kind of skinny?

Skinny.

Skinny, okay.

A curvy, skinny tail...

like this.

Aha!

Our second clue

is a curvy, skinny tail like this.

Good detective work.

So, we're trying to figure out

who the mystery builder could be.

And our first clue was...

these footprints.

And now our second clue is this curvy, skinny tail.

So... who could the mystery builder be

with these footprints and this curvy, skinny tail?

Maybe... but I think we better find our last clue.

Mr. Salt: Detective, come quick!

[Blue barks]

I think I just saw the mystery builder!

Really, where?

Well, I tried to take some pictures...

but I missed.

Well, do you see any evidence in these pictures

of where the mystery builder went?

Right there!

There?

By the stone wall?

How do you know?

The tail!

Great detective work!

There's the mystery builder's tail!

By the stone wall!

Let's go there.

[barking...]

The tail... it's gone!

So, where do you think the mystery builder went?

That way!

That way!

How do you know?

The footprints!

Oh, yeah, the footprints.

That's our... evidence.

Come on.

[barking...]

[barks]

Well, these footprints go two ways.

Well, let's try one way

and if that doesn't work, we can go the other way.

Yeah.

[barking...]

Shh... listen.

That must be the mystery builder.

[barks softly]

[chattering]

Gopher!

You must be the mystery builder!

Let's go check the evidence

just to be sure.

[chattering]

So, Gopher...

We've noticed that you have footprints

that look like this.

And... you have a tail

that looks like...

like...

Does this look like Gopher's tail?

No!

No...

No, it's a totally different tail.

[chattering]

So, Gopher, I guess you're not the mystery builder.

[chattering]

I thought we solved it.

Oh, well, we better go check

that other set of footprints.

Come on.

[barking...]

[barks]

So, which way do you think

the mystery builder went?

That way!

That way!

How do you know?

The swing.

Oh, yeah... the swing!

It's still swinging!

Someone must have just pushed it.

Come on.

[barks hello]

The mystery builder must be around here somewhere.

Aha!

I think I got a picture of the mystery builder!

A clue!

Yeah, there's a clue on this picture!

I think I got a little too close.

That's okay.

We can still write it down

in our handy-dandy...

Notebook!

Notebook, right.

So... this picture.

We make a point here...

then a curve...

then another point here...

and we have this picture.

Hey, we have all three clues.

You know where we need to sit

to figure out this mystery.

Thinking chair!

Our thinking chair, right.

Great job, Mr. Salt.

Oh, thank you.

Come on.

Ah...

Okay, detective.

Now that we're in our thinking chair

let's... think.

You will help, right?

Great.

So... we're trying to figure out

who the mystery builder could be

and our clues are:

these footprints...

this tail...

and... this picture.

So... who could the mystery builder be?

Well, let's look at this picture...

for evidence.

I see two triangles.

What do you think those triangles are on top?

Ears.

Ears, yeah!

So this must be a picture of the mystery builder's head.

Well... what has a head like this, with pointy ears

a curvy, skinny tail

and makes these footprints?

A kitten.

[barks]

A kitten... yeah!

Because a kitten has, has a curvy, skinny tail

and has pointy ears

and makes those footprints!

We just figured out Blue's clues!

All right, detective.

Behind you!

[barks]

[barks]

[whistling]

Aha!

You're the mystery builder!

You built this fort!

What's your name?

Oh... uh, I'm Steve.

Is this where you live?

No, this is my fort.

I just moved into the house next door to yours.

Really?

Wow!

Periwinkle the mystery builder kitten

is our new next door neighbor.

[barks]

I did it!

I took a perfect picture

Here's a picture of you and Blue.
