BlEDERMEYER: 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.
[OWL HOOTS]
The will is in the Chinese box.
So there is a will.
CHlNESE PRlEST [ON SPEAKER] See for yourself.
LESHlNG: 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?
LESHlNG: 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.
[PHONE RlNGlNG]
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.
[DOORBELL RlNGS]
CARSON [ON PHONE]: I know it hasn 't been easy for you...
...and this'll make me feel less guilty.
But what is it?
CARSON [ON PHONE] : 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.
CARSON [ON PHONE] : 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.
[NED GRUNTS]
[CROWD CHATTERlNG]
WAlTRESS: Hello. Would you like to order some drinks?
NANCY: 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.
-[MOUTHS] Keep it real? -We're basically best friends.
It's funny that she never mentioned you.
NANCY: Ha. -Hey, buddy, she wants your drink order.
Um, can I get an iced latte?
hNo 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?
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.
NANCY: Everybody pick a row. Check inside each box.
We're looking for a will.
[GROUP CHATTERlNG]
TRlSH: Wait, what's over there? -Hey.
CORKY: Ned, did you see this box yet?
TRlSH: Nothing there.
LOUlE: No, no, no. Don't-- Don't touch. INGA: Corky.
Hey, watch the top. That is very expensive.
INGA: Hey there. Come here. CORKY: You see this? It's big.
LOUlE: Put that down.
[GROWLlNG]
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.
[CAR ENGlNE REVVlNG]
That's the SUV that tried to run us down.
The side's damaged. Come on.
CORKY: What was that? Are you okay? What was that?
NED: Hurry, we're losing them. -Oh, so you meant literally a bomb.
What was that? What was that? Are you okay?
Hello?
[MAN YELLlNG]
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.
[TlRES SCREECHlNG]
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.
[MAN YELLS]
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?
[CAR HONKlNG]
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.
[STUTTERlNG] 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.
CORKY: 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.
CORKY: Whenever you feel like letting me know.
[NANCY KNOCKlNG]
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.
Don't you think?
Yeah.
CORKY: What was that?
I think we just had an earthquake.
[CREAKlNG]
Hello?
Nancy.
NED: Are you all right?
Where are you?
I'm in the basement.
NED: Do you see anything?
I found a tunnel and I'm going in.
If I'm not back in 1 0 minutes, something bad's happened.
[CORKY LAUGHS]
I don't think that was a joke.
[SlNGlNG] I lay there on the ground Who will wind the clock when I'm away
[SCREAMS]
Hi.
LANDLADY: 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. BOY: Okay.
These are for you two.
I hope you attend.
[LAUGHS]
Wow.
I know that she's weird, but we have to go.
Why?
Ned, my future husband, is gonna be there.
[KNOCKlNG]
NANCY: 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.
NED: Let's see yours.
Yeah, yours are all right.
NANCY: Downloading's cool...
...but nothing sounds like vinyl.
CORKY: You couldn't be more right if you tried, Nancy.
[MUSlC PLAYlNG ON RECORD PLAYER]
[DOORBELL RlNGS]
CORKY: Yeah.
-Hi. -Hi.
I brought a few friends. I hope you don't mind, all right?
NANCY: No.
Oh, I didn't get the memo about it being a retarded theme.
Hey, Ned.
GlRL: Hi.
Oh, can I take your coat or...?
NANCY: Okay.
Um, refreshments are in the dining room.
We'll be having a taffy pull later, guys.
Oh.
NANCY: Come on in. BOY: Hi.
Hi. Refreshments in the dining room.
Oh, hello. Hi. Oh, you look lovely.
[CROWD CHATTERlNG]
Hm.
[PHONE DlALlNG]
Leshing, come quick!
[MUSlC PLAYlNG LOUDLY]
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?
[GASPS]
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.
NED: Hold on.
Hello?
HENCHMAN 1 [ON PHONE] : I warned you, drop this Draycott business.
Who is this?
[DlAL TONE]
[PHONE RlNGS]
-Please, stop calling here. CARSON [ON PHONE] : Nancy?
Oh, hi, Dad. Where are you?
CARSON [ON PHONE] : 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.
CARSON [ON PHONE] : Are you sure? -Absolutely. Hurry home.
Happy birthday, Nancy.
BOY : Back off, man.
[CROWD MOANS]
Somebody call 91 1.
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 91 1!
BOY: They'll be here in 1 0 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.
GlRL: Here. BOY: Here you go.
Everybody, unless you've had advanced emergency medical training...
...you must never attempt this on your own.
[CROWD GASPS]
Holy crap.
[THUMP]
[SlREN WAlLlNG]
INGA: 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.
CARSON: What happened?
It was a lively party. Almost everyone had a good time.
BlLLlNGS: I take it you're Nancy's father. CARSON: That's right.
BlLLlNGS: 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.
CARSON: You blew it out when Dad was MlA.
Damage was done. Things went amuck. I get it.
Congratulations.
Getting rowdy is part of being a normal, non-sleuthing teenager.
[LAUGHlNG]
All right. That's a first.
INGA: 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?
[GASPS]
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. INGA: Uh.
You know what? I just remembered how much I really hate this store.
Excuse me?
[LAUGHS]
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 lnga person.
In fact, she scares me.
And that if you like this Porky guy--
Corky.
--it's all right with me.
Ned, he's 1 2.
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?
[SlGHS]
Your cab's here. Sorry to see you go, Ned.
I'll, uh, see you soon.
Bye, Ned.
[SlGHS]
[PHONE BEEPS]
[KNOCKlNG ON DOOR]
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 l.
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?
Ugh. I'm going to bed.
CARSON: 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.
[OWL HOOTS]
CARSON: Someone is filing grievances against you, but I don't know who yet.
JANE: 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?
NANCY: Dad, look, there's something I need to tell you.
It has to do with this whole--
BlEDERMEYER: 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...?
Dinner, tonight. I've got a lot of questions...
...and I think you just might have the answers.
[SlGHS]
Feel like some hot cocoa?
[MUSlC PLAYlNG AND CHATTERlNG ON TV]
MAN [ON TV] : --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.
JANE: 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.
NANCY: She's, um--
She's a mystery.
DEHLlA [ON TV]: Someone in the village told me
that the will is in the Chinese box.
Wait a minute.
What are we looking for?
A clue.
DEHLlA [ON TV] : It's empty.
You must make the dragon bow.
[LAUGHS]
The will.
NANCY : 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. "
NANCY : 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.
LOUlE: It's fine.
It's the will.
If you want it, you can have it.
Huh, thank you so much.
"l give all my property and assets to my daughter born July 28th, 1 981. "
I knew it.
[PHONE DlALlNG]
-Dad. I have to talk to you. CARSON [ON PHONE] : Hi, honey.
What number are you calling from?
My cell phone. The one you gave me.
CARSON [ON PHONE] : I didn 't give you a cell phone.
Honey?
I have to get off this phone. Everything's fine. See you tonight.
CARSON [ON PHONE] : Nancy--
[GASPS]
So they're the ones who've been breaking in.
[SNORlNG]
ACTOR [ON TV] : Oh, Mary, you're exaggerating.
No one blames you for Henry's death.
Least of all Jezebel.
[CREAKlNG]
You 've got to stop. It's not your fault, Mary.
ACTRESS [ON TV] : You do believe that, don 't you, baby?
You don 't think I was born bad, do you?
ACTOR [ON TV] : I could never care if you were. Mary, I love you.
[THUMP]
Go check on her.
Wait. I want to see this part.
MAN [ON TV] : Kids will love it just for making chocolate pasta
for those delicious desserts.
Besides pasta, you can also make pie crust, cinnamon rolls....
[THUMP]
[SlGHS]
She's not there.
-Look again. HENCHMAN 2: She's not there.
-Excuse me. HENCHMAN 1 : Hey!
Go get her!
Hey!
-Ah! HENCHMAN 2: Hey.
HENCHMAN 1 : She's getting away! Jump!
Go, go, get the car.
You idiots.

[NANCY SCREAMS]
[GRUNTS]
NURSE: Right there.
[PEOPLE CHATTERlNG]
[PHONE RlNGlNG]
-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?
[SlGHS]
-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.
[KNOCKS]
-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.
[WHlSPERlNG] 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.
BlEDERMEYER: Mm. -Dehlia used one of her movies as a clue.
BlEDERMEYER: Ha, ha. -lt 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.
[BlEDERMEYER CHUCKLES]
Then he brought her account to his law firm, and....
Well, it's time to sign on the dotted line.
[BElDERMEYER CHUCKLES]
Ah, ha.
That's, uh, quite a signature.
It's my middle initial. For Zachary.
-Z. CARSON: 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.
[WHlSPERlNG] Dad, we have to get out of this car now.
[WHlSPERlNG] : Why? NANCY [lN NORMAL VOlCE] : Oh.
Excuse me, sir, can you please stop the car?
[lN NORMAL VOlCE] Nancy!
[TlRES SCREECHlNG]
[GRUNTlNG]
CARSON: Nancy!
Dad, get away from them!
NANCY: Excuse me, miss?
LANDLADY: 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.
[TlRES SCREECHlNG]
HENCHMAN 1 : 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.
HENCHMAN 1 : Get her!
[HENCHMAN 1 GRUNTS]
Open up!
Open this door!
-Break it down. HENCHMAN 2: Come here.
[GASPS]
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.
[STUTTERlNG] I'm just really curious.
BlEDERMEYER: Mm-hm? -Why did you kill Dehlia?
[BlEDERMEYER SlGHS]
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.
[BElDERMEYER GROANS]
BlEDERMEYER: Come here.
[NANCY GRUNTlNG]
Give it to me! Give me the will!
[HENCHMAN 1 GRUNTS]
[BlEDERMEYER PANTlNG]
[MEN GRUNTlNG]
BlEDERMEYER: Ah, ah, ah, just do it.
If you shoot me, it'll leave all sorts of evidence. Very messy.
[KNUCKLES CRACK]
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.
LESHlNG: Put the gun down. BlEDERMEYER: Hey!
[HENCHMAN 1 GRUNTS]
NANCY [ON RECORDER]: I'm just really curious. Why did you kill Dehlia?
BlEDERMEYER [ON RECORDER]: After she gave up the baby...
...she went kind of crazy.
[POLlCE SlRENS WAlLlNG]
She was gonna quit the business and--
CORKY : Oh, my God! BlEDERMEYER: Oh.
CORKY: Nancy?
INGA: 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.
TRlSH: Whoo! INGA: 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.
BlLLlNGS: Hey, you with the shovel. NANCY: No. It's him.
NANCY: Have you seen my father?
INGA: It's a party!
LANDLADY: Nancy, darling, are you okay?
Oh, good, good.
-Oh, hi, honey. How are you? CORKY: Hi, Mr. Drew.
I was locked in a trunk. What happened? Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
BlLLlNGS: Okay, let's get him up. All right, easy, easy, easy.
Looks like my new job might not work out now.
Yeah. Maybe not.
So, what exactly happened?
Dad, do you really wanna know?
Yeah.
CARSON: Uh.
Do l?
I don't know what to say.
Nancy, I want you to know I appreciate how hard it was...
...for you to do the right thing.
I'm very proud of you.
BARBARA: You know, Barbara Barbara Realty would be delighted...
...to continue to rent this property for you.
Thanks, but no, thanks.
Well, what are you gonna do with this place?
I'm gonna live here, with my kid and anyone else who needs a place.
Well, I think maybe you and l should talk this over before you make--
Feel free to leave at any time.
[KlDS LAUGHlNG]
JANE: Allie. Allie. Come here.
[SlGHS]
[NANCY SlGHS]
There it is. Just like clockwork.
What?
Postpartum depression.
You're sad the case is over.
That's ridiculous. I'm glad it all worked out.
You're only happy when there's trouble.
This I know for sure.
But that's who you are and it's all right with me.
Ned, that's so sweet.
CARSON: Nancy? -Yes?
Phone call. Long distance from Scotland.
Something about the Loch Ness monster and some missing diamonds.
Another case.
