Nancy Drew Page #5

Don't you think?

Yeah.

What was that?

I think we just had an earthquake.

Hello?

Nancy.

Are you all right?

Where are you?

I'm in the basement.

Do you see anything?

I found a tunnel and I'm going in.

If I'm not back in 10 minutes,

something bad's happened.

I don't think that was a joke.

I lay there on the ground

Who will wind the clock when I'm away

Hi.

A tunnel in the laundry room.

What the hell is that all about?

John Leshing.

He's a tenant in this building.

He's the caretaker

of the Dehlia Draycott estate.

If anyone knows about the tunnel,

he does.

That man has always

given me the willies.

The drowning-kittens type.

You know what I mean?

Hi. These are for you two.

- Here you go.

Okay.

These are for you two.

I hope you attend.

Wow.

I know that she's weird,

but we have to go.

Why?

Ned, my future husband,

is gonna be there.

Jane? It's me, Nancy.

I was wondering if you and Allie

wanted to come to a party.

Oh, my goodness.

Wow, guys, your streamers look great.

Let's see yours.

Yeah, yours are all right.

Downloading's cool...

...but nothing sounds like vinyl.

You couldn't be more right

if you tried, Nancy.

Yeah.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I brought a few friends.

I hope you don't mind, all right?

No.

Oh, I didn't get the memo

about it being a retarded theme.

Hey, Ned.

Hi.

Oh, can I take your coat or...?

Okay.

Um, refreshments

are in the dining room.

We'll be having a taffy pull later, guys.

Oh.

Come on in.

Hi.

Hi.

Refreshments in the dining room.

Oh, hello.

Hi. Oh, you look lovely.

Hm.

Leshing, come quick!

So did you grow up in River Depths?

Tell me about it. Is there a river?

River Heights.

Uh, yeah, there's a river.

Oh. Oh, I knew that. I totally knew that.

How did I know that? Ha, ha, ha.

Hey. Hey.

Oh, you wanna dance, right?

Hi.

Oh, I just wanted to ask you if you knew

about the secret passageway.

I think you got your answer.

Are you Z?

Miss Drew, I suggest you rejoin

your guests and enjoy the party.

Hold on.

Hello?

I warned

you, drop this Draycott business.

Who is this?

- Please, stop calling here.

Nancy?

Oh, hi, Dad.

Where are you?

I'm going to be even later

to your party than I said.

I'm sorry, honey.

Is everything all right?

Sounds a little crazy there.

Y eah, everything's totally mellow.

Are you sure?

- Absolutely. Hurry home.

Happy birthday, Nancy.

Back off, man.

Somebody call 911.

You! You know CPR, come on,

do something. Trish is choking!

This is not a joke.

Out of the way, out of the way.

Coming through.

Oh, my God. Do something,

do something. Somebody call 911!

They'll be here in 10 minutes.

Does she have any allergies?

She's insanely allergic to peanuts,

but she didn't eat anything.

I had a peanut butter cookie,

and we were making out.

Oh, my God.

I need a knife and a ballpoint pen.

Here.

Here you go.

Everybody, unless you've had

advanced emergency medical training...

...you must never attempt this

on your own.

Holy crap.

You know, I have to admit...

...I thought you were some insane,

freak, idiot person before, but you're not.

You're pretty terrific.

Anyone can learn

emergency medical procedures.

Uh, I'm talking about

how great the party was.

Saving Trish's life was fantastic also.

Anyways, I'd like to take you

and your little friend Ned out shopping.

You really do need a decent outfit.

What happened?

It was a lively party.

Almost everyone had a good time.

I take it you're Nancy's father.

That's right.

We responded to a complaint

from a neighbor.

Dad, this is Sergeant Billings.

No, no, no.

Let me say something.

You had a wild party.

You blew it out when Dad was MIA.

Damage was done.

Things went amuck. I get it.

Congratulations.

Getting rowdy is part of being

a normal, non-sleuthing teenager.

All right. That's a first.

Come on. Come on.

Hi. Obviously someone here

needs a little help with their look.

Oh, it's not that bad.

Oh, please, it's a fashion teardown.

You have some nice pieces.

They're just not really working together.

Me? I was talking about her.

Oh, sorry.

Wow, where did you get that dress?

Um, I made it from one

of my mother's patterns.

Oh, it is just darling.

I love the sincerity.

- I have to take your picture.

Uh.

You know what? I just remembered

how much I really hate this store.

Excuse me?

I wish you could stay longer.

My mom said if I stayed

past the weekend...

...that she'd turn my room into a den.

Really?

Anyway, Nancy,

I just want you to know...

...that I'm not interested

in that Inga person.

In fact, she scares me.

And that if you like this Porky guy-

Corky.

- it's all right with me.

Ned, he's 12.

You just seem to really like

having him around.

Ned, can I ask you a question?

Mm-hm.

Can you tell when a girl

is thinking how much she likes you...

...wondering if you like her, thinking

how important it is how you feel...

...before she says anything more

about how she feels about you...

...because she's already saying

how she feels in her own way?

Can you repeat the question?

Your cab's here.

Sorry to see you go, Ned.

I'll, uh, see you soon.

Bye, Ned.

Jane, are you all right?

No. Child Protective Services, they-

They took her. They took Allie.

They said I was an unfit parent,

but it isn't true.

I didn't do any

of the things that they said.

Uh, come in, come in.

You're always able to help people.

I can certainly try.

Why don't you come

downtown tomorrow?

I will. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Sure. What's the connection?

How did you two meet?

I'm Dehlia Draycott's daughter.

You're what? Wait.

Dad, it's so late.

Jane's tired and so am I.

Let's go over all this in the morning,

in the promising light of a new day.

Right.

Have you been sleuthing?

Dad, do you really think

I've been sleuthing?

- That's not answering my question.

- You're not answering mine.

- Your what?

- What?

- What?

- What?

Ugh. I'm going to bed.

Good night.

Uh, listen, I have to tell you

something.

Right after you first found me, someone

came to my apartment. Uh, a man.

He said if I ever tried to prove that I was

Dehlia's daughter, that I would regret it.

That's why I was afraid

to talk to you that time.

- What did he look like?

- He was big. Um...

Dark hair. Scary.

And he had one pale blue eye

and one very, very dark.

Someone is filing grievances

against you, but I don't know who yet.

But it isn't true.

None of it happened.

How can they just take a kid

away from its mother?

I believe you. And I think a judge

will too. It just takes time.

We'll get her back.

I promise you.

Now, is there anyone

who might have something against you?

Dad, look,

there's something I need to tell you.

It has to do with this whole-

Carson!

Nancy.

After Jane's little revelation, I found out

who the lawyer for the estate was...

...and I gave him a call.

He and I are going to talk privately.

Do you have your car?

Down the block.

What are you two...?
