Nancy Drew Page #6

Dinner, tonight.

I've got a lot of questions...

...and I think you

just might have the answers.

Feel like some hot cocoa?

- Channel presents

The Life and Death of Dehlia Draycott.

It's so weird.

I never used to think about her at all...

...and now I see her everywhere.

What if I am an unfit mother?

I don't know what I'm doing.

No one taught me what to do.

Jane...

Nancy, I don't think you understand

what it's like growing up without a mom.

Actually, my mother died

when I was very young.

Oh, God, I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

You've been so nice to me.

Sometimes,

I think I can remember her.

But I never know

if what I'm remembering...

...is something I saw in a picture...

...or just made up.

She's, um-

She's a mystery.

Someone in the village told me

that the will is in the Chinese box.

Wait a minute.

What are we looking for?

A clue.

It's empty.

You must make the dragon bow.

The will.

I must've fallen asleep

when I heard this.

I've finally found it.

Dehlia used a clue

from one of her movies...

...to show someone

where to find the will.

Now all I have to do

is make the dragon bow.

Okay, you lost me at "dragon. "

I'll be back later.

Hello? Hello, Mr. Louie?

Are you in there?

Hello?

I'm sorry to interrupt your dinner...

...but this means so much

to two of my friends.

It's fine.

It's the will.

If you want it, you can have it.

Huh, thank you so much.

"I give all my property and assets

to my daughter born July 28th, 1981. "

I knew it.

- Dad. I have to talk to you.

Hi, honey.

What number are you calling from?

My cell phone.

The one you gave me.

I didn't give you a cell phone.

Honey?

I have to get off this phone.

Everything's fine. See you tonight.

Nancy-

So they're the ones

who've been breaking in.

Oh, Mary, you're exaggerating.

No one blames you for Henry's death.

Least of all Jezebel.

You've got to stop.

It's not your fault, Mary.

You do believe that, don't you, baby?

You don't think I was born bad,

do you?

I could never care

if you were. Mary, I love you.

Go check on her.

Wait. I want to see this part.

Kids will love it

just for making chocolate pasta

for those delicious desserts.

Besides pasta, you can also make

pie crust, cinnamon rolls...

She's not there.

- Look again.

She's not there.

- Excuse me.

Hey!

Go get her!

Hey!

- Ah!

Hey.

She's getting away! Jump!

Go, go, get the car.

You idiots.

Right there.

- Hi, Dad.

- Are you okay? What happened?

Just your run-of-the-mill car accident.

I swerved out of control

because, um...

Because men were chasing me.

I've been working on a case.

Uh, I'm gonna give you two

some time.

Thank you.

- I started to tell you today.

- You could have been killed.

Do you realize that?

- I was just trying to do the right thing.

- This is a very dangerous city.

- The world is not like River Heights.

- I know.

I mean, I tried to be normal.

I really tried.

I just start working on something

and I can't stop.

I wonder where you got that from.

I mean, the idea of a girl out there

without her mom...

Dehlia wanted to leave Jane the estate,

and I found the will.

Like you always say, "Others first. "

I just wish that

you'd talked to me about this.

I'll be okay, Dad.

We'll work it out. You're my guy.

- Hey, kiddo.

- Mr. Biedermeyer.

Uh, your father and I were going over

some business when we heard.

I hope you're all right.

I'm fine.

Good.

He's offered me some consulting work.

I can do it from home...

...so we can go back to River Heights.

And he pays a lot.

Oh.

You know, I couldn't help but

overhear before about the mystery.

- Did you ever find the will?

- I did.

- Mm.

- Dehlia used one of her movies as a clue.

- Ha, ha.

- It was hidden...

...in the secret compartment

of a Chinese box.

Nancy always gets

to the bottom of things.

Well, my firm would certainly

be interested in seeing that will.

You know, Mr. Biedermeyer

wasn't always just Dehlia's lawyer.

He was her manager as well,

from the start.

He made her who she was.

Then he brought her account

to his law firm, and...

Well, it's time to sign

on the dotted line.

Ah, ha.

That's, uh, quite a signature.

It's my middle initial.

For Zachary.

- Z.

Hm?

Where is the will?

Um.

Where is it, honey?

Do you know?

You know, this is a little awkward.

His firm stands to lose

more than a little income...

...if the money from the will

really does go to Jane.

Dad, we have to get out of this car now.

- Why?

- Oh.

Excuse me, sir,

can you please stop the car?

Nancy!

Nancy!

Dad, get away from them!

Excuse me, miss?

Oh, hello, honey.

Oh, the phone's over there, honey.

Sergeant Billings.

Do you know if a Dashiel Biedermeyer

rented in this building?

No. No, he owns it.

He owns the house you're in too.

He's a very rich man.

There she is.

Um, is there a back door anywhere?

Yes, honey, right over there.

Tell Sergeant Billings

to send a car to the house.

Get her!

Open up!

Open this door!

- Break it down.

Come here.

Where's the will?

I don't think I should say.

It's my insurance

that you won't hurt me.

I'll squeeze it out of you.

Tell me something first.

I'm just really curious.

- Mm-hm?

- Why did you kill Dehlia?

After she gave up the baby,

she went kind of crazy.

She was gonna quit the business

and run off with that caretaker.

He was the father.

Whatever. She was my only client.

She was gonna fire me.

I spent 20 years of my life

building up her career.

I got mad.

I reacted violently.

I felt kind of bad about it for a while,

but I'm okay with it now.

Leshing is Jane's father.

Does he know about the baby?

It doesn't matter!

Now where is the will?

It's right here.

Come here.

Give it to me!

Give me the will!

Ah, ah, ah, just do it.

If you shoot me, it'll leave all

sorts of evidence. Very messy.

Strangulation leaves

a traceable handprint.

What do you suggest?

The best way to kill me?

Hm, let me think about that. Um...

Enough of this crap.

- Put the gun down.

- Hey!

I'm just really curious.

Why did you kill Dehlia?

After she gave up the baby...

...she went kind of crazy.

She was gonna quit the business and-

- Oh, my God!

- Oh.

Nancy?

Oh, my gosh,

you won't believe what's happened.

Hey, Mr. Biedermeyer. Inga Veinshtein.

I'm in water polo with Courtney.

Your granddaughter.

Yeah. I remember you.

Hey, Lurch, digging a hole

or something?

- Here. Okay. We had to show you this.

- Oh, my goodness!

It's called "The New Sincerity. "

Yeah, I'm on the forefront.

I see something I think is cute,

I start wearing it...

...and in like five seconds,

it's a total trend.

Penny-loafer fashion moment.

Whoo!

Ah! Ha, ha.

Oh, I need to borrow that coat.

Leshing, thank you so much.

You're welcome. Nancy.

There's something you should know.

It's about Jane.

She's your daughter.

Eh- Uh.

- Hey, you with the shovel.

- No. It's him.

Have you seen my father?

It's a party!

Nancy, darling, are you okay?
