Nancy Drew Page #4

Well, usually when someone

tries to kill me...

...it's because I'm onto something.

Oh, you have a cut.

There were dealer plates on the SUV.

I made note of the make,

year and model.

Plus, the damage sustained from hitting

the barrier could help us identify it too.

You're just not like the other girls,

Nancy.

Oh. Hello?

Do not look into this

Dehlia Draycott business.

If you proceed, you will be harmed.

Do you understand?

Oh.

We' re not interested

in mudslide insurance...

...but, um, thank you for calling.

Have a nice day.

Whoa, what's this?

I apologize, sir.

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Nancy Drew.

It's very nice to make your acquaintance.

I've been trying to set up

an appointment, but...

Posture, eye contact.

Pay attention, people, that's breeding.

I was just wondering if I could have five

minutes to discuss something with you.

Any time at all.

Here's my card.

Oh!

Thank you.

It's about one of your clients,

a movie star.

Ha, ha, all my clients

are movie stars, muffin.

Well, I may have found

some evidence suggesting that-

- Astonishing.

- Um, It may imply that-

Absolutely astonishing.

As I was saying-

I'm very disappointed, senator.

Well, as you know,

you do owe me a favor or two.

Well, talk to somebody else

on your staff.

Maybe they can help you out on this.

Jane? Are you there?

Hi. I saw the lawyers who represent

the estate today and they-

It's all right.

I don't need any help.

What? Don't you wanna know

if you're Dehlia's daughter?

Just leave us alone, okay?

You seem like a really nice person.

I'm sorry.

The will is in the Chinese box.

So there is a will.

See for yourself.

Miss Draycott collected chinoiserie.

Last year, the owner sold off the most

valuable pieces, against my wishes.

Do you remember

the name of the dealer?

You ask a lot of questions.

Is it this place? I noticed the ad

was circled. Do they have the box?

Let me tell you something, young lady.

Everyone who has tried to piece

this thing together has run into trouble.

Hello?

So you should be getting an early

birthday present/reward thing...

...for going along with my

"no sleuthing while in California" thing.

Dad, you shouldn't have.

- I don't really deserve it.

- Yes, you do.

I know it hasn't been easy for you...

...and this'll make me feel less guilty.

But what is it?

Uh, just walk outside.

Hi. My sister dropped me off

and now she won't go away.

Leave!

My roadster.

Dad, how did you get it here?

Happy almost-your-birthday.

Ned.

You drove this all the way here?

Uh, yeah, it wouldn't fit

in my suitcase.

Huh, I've missed this car so much...

...and you.

I've missed the car and you.

Oh. Oh, Ned, Corky. Corky, Ned.

Ned is my...

...really good friend

from River Heights.

River Heights, right.

That's in one of those fly-over states.

Wait. Did I interrupt something?

Yes, actually. You did.

Hello?

- Hello? Nancy?

- Oh, Dad. Thank you so much.

We have to go.

Corky's going on a date with her?

Whoa, Nancy Weirdo has,

like, two dates.

Oh, that other one is cute.

I don't usually go for the

just-back-from-slopping-the-hogs type...

...but, ha, he's cute.

Hello. Would you like to

order some drinks?

I'll have a glass of milk, please.

Ah, milk. How refreshingly wholesome.

I'll have the exact same thing.

Who is this person?

Nancy and I met,

and things just clicked.

We laugh, we talk.

We keep it real.

- Keep it real?

- We're basically best friends.

It's funny

that she never mentioned you.

Ha.

- Hey, buddy, she wants your drink order.

Um, can I get an iced latte?

No latte in Chinese restaurant, silly.

Yeah, silly.

No latte in the Chinese restaurant.

Don't talk to me.

All right.

Wow, this is fun, huh?

Ned and I have known

each other since second grade.

He helped me solve the mystery

of the missing chalkboard erasers.

It was a janitor.

Oh, fantastic.

Oh, my gosh.

How funny.

Here we are and here you are.

Hi, what's your name?

Ned?

You're not sure?

No. I mean, yes, I'm sure.

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

Hey, hey, guys, don't gang up on me.

I'm sensitive.

Hello. I'm looking for a box.

That is, one in particular.

What kind of box?

Chinese?

Well, you've come to the right place.

So this is why

you wanted Chinese food.

What are you guys doing in here?

This is so nonlinear.

Everybody pick a row.

Check inside each box.

We're looking for a will.

- Wait, what's over there?

- Hey.

Ned, did you see this box yet?

Nothing there.

- No, no, no. Don't- Don't touch.

- Corky.

Hey, watch the top.

That is very expensive.

Hey there. Come here.

You see this? It's big.

Put that down.

Ah! What? You think you're funny?

Do you think you're funny?

So not cute.

There is one more.

So, Nance, what's the deal

with you and Ned?

Do you hear something?

No, I mean, are you two like a thing?

Excuse me,

I have to defuse this bomb.

Ugh, no kidding.

Love is a battlefield.

Nancy.

That's the SUV

that tried to run us down.

The side's damaged. Come on.

What was that?

Are you okay? What was that?

Hurry, we're losing them.

- Oh, so you meant literally a bomb.

What was that?

What was that? Are you okay?

Hello?

They turned up that street!

Hold on. I thought we were

driving away from them.

That's why I got in the car.

- Buckled up?

- I'm fine.

Buckling up.

Say we do catch up with them,

what happens then?

Seriously.

It gets my goat when

someone tries to kill me. It's so rude.

But it only makes me

wanna try harder.

Then let the horses run.

We will go the posted speed limit

and no faster.

Everybody in the universe

drives over the speed limit, Nancy.

Nancy is trying to say

the ends do not justify the means.

Your means will lose them.

It's important to judge the ends

and the means independently...

...to do what's right.

Didn't you promise your father

that you wouldn't sleuth?

Aren't you breaking that promise?

What are you gonna do?

I have to stop working on this case.

I have to stop and be normal.

What's this?

Oh, just normal stuff.

Normal teenage stuff.

Okay. Carry on.

- Ow! He just pinched me!

- Deal with it.

If we're gonna baby-sit him,

we should get paid.

Ned, why is your shirt all wrinkled?

Because my closet's 6 inches deep.

That's not possible.

How could-?

Show me.

What are you guys doing?

"Hey, Corky.

We're super glad you asked.

Would you like to tag along? "

Seriously. Oh, God.

What is going on?

I just fell down.

But I'm fine.

I still don't know what's going on.

Whenever you feel like letting me know.

A secret passageway.

So this is how the intruder

has been getting upstairs.

This is nuts.

Ned, will you get my flashlight?

It's in my kit.

Wouldn't this be considered sleuthing?

Who are we kidding?

I can't stop.

Once I find the will

and determine the identity of Z...

...I'll tell my father everything.

He'll understand.

I mean, how else

am I gonna help Jane?

It's important.
