Mystery is about confusion. It’s about bouncing around, so the audiece doesn't know exactly where you're taking them—and yes, that's a good thing. Don’t feel the need to explain every last detail in your screenplay. The audience isn’t stupid—they’ll figure it out—eventually. Nathan explains his bounce-around rule, the guys perform script surgery on "Clue," and Nathan pitches his idea "Chamomile Nights."
