About this episode
Milo says HE did it — but did he really? Join Bobo & Pim, the woodland detective duo, as they try to solve a case where their own client has already confessed, in this fun animated mystery for kids!
Little Milo bursts into the Detective Agency first thing in the morning: he threw his ball, there was a CRASH, Fern's flower is down, and his ball is gone — so please, arrest him! Bobo happily takes the case (and Milo's best acorn as a fine). But out in the alley, the clues don't add up: there's dirt, petals, a tiny seed... and no ball anywhere. So Bobo does what any great detective would do — he throws the ball again. And again. Follow the detectives from the office to Fern's alley to find out what REALLY knocked that flower down!

Read along with the story (this gives away the ending)
- Bobo We're not open till—
- Milo I did it!
- Bobo Did what?
- Milo I threw my ball. And there was a CRASH.
- Milo Fern's flower's down. My ball's GONE.
- Milo Arrest me.
- Pim Arrest you.
- Bobo A crash. A flower down. And no ball anywhere. What knocked it over, hm?
- Milo That's my best acorn. For the damages.
- Pim He's paying his own fine.
- Bobo The agency accepts—
- Bobo —nothing yet.
- Bobo We do the crime again. Properly.
- Pim That's not how—
- Bobo PROPERLY.
- Bobo You carry the evidence. Touch nothing else.
- Milo Can I bounce it?
- Bobo No.
- Milo See? Down. Dirt everywhere.
- Bobo Nobody touch anything. Especially you.
- Milo It's MY crime scene.
- Bobo Dirt. Petals. And NO ball.
- Pim And it fell right under the sill. Straight down.
- Bobo Not important.
- Milo There's a SEED in there! Can I keep it?
- Bobo Not now, Milo.
- Pim Where did your ball land, Milo?
- Milo It didn't land. It went over the bins and never came back.
- Bobo Then we throw again. Milo — stand there. Throw.
- Bobo Short. You threw harder than that.
- Milo I didn't!
- Bobo Then it was a HARDER throw. Like this. Observe.
- Pim Gone.
- Bobo The bin ate it.
- Pim The bin ate YOURS. So what ate Milo's?
- Bobo AH! Recovered!
- Milo That's MY ball!
- Pim From INSIDE the bin.
- Pim So the crash you heard was the bin. Your ball never touched any flower.
- Milo I'm not a criminal?
- Bobo Nobody is cleared until—
- Pim He's cleared.
- Bobo Then it was a BIGGER ball. A harder throw. A sill is EASY to hit.
- Bobo Observe. UP — and over.
- Pim Bobo, don't—
- Milo ...You did it.
- Pim Look at YOUR crash. The ball's sitting right in it.
- Pim Now Milo's. No ball. There NEVER was.
- Pim What breaks a thing stays WITH the thing.
- Pim The ball in the bin. The dirt with nothing in it. And a crash that KEEPS its ball.

- Pim Because HE doesn't.
- Fern Why is my alley full of detectives?
- Bobo Fern! Your flower! Somebody knocked—
- Fern I did.
- Fern It slipped while I was lifting it down for water. I went in for this.
- Fern ...Why are there TWO?
- Milo Say the brave part, Bobo.
- Bobo ...I did it. It was me.
- Fern Hm. At least you said it straight.
- Milo I said it was me this morning. I even paid my fine.
- Fern Before anybody asked? That's the brave kind.
- Bobo Milo. That seed you found.
- Milo NOW, Milo?
- Bobo Right now, Milo.
- Fern Flowers fall. Flowers start again.
- Pim Office. There's a FORM for this.
- Bobo Your acorn. The agency can't keep it. You didn't break anything.

- Bobo Juniors stamp.
- Milo Case closed!
- Milo And one more—
- Milo —for the flower YOU broke.
- Bobo That was fieldwork.
