Nancy Drew

- We are brothers? - Half-brothers.

Why didn't you say something the first day?

I tried. Every day.

My plan was to get a job at the restaurant,

make sure you weren't a psycho, then become great friends.

So, what brings you to town?

Oh, you know, looking for a change of scenery,

and a job.

Hmm.

And since you look like

you might be a body short in the kitchen...

My bad.

Hey, you know what? Congratulations.

Let's get you started.

And you don't have to lie

to survive. You can trust the people that are around y..

Oh, uh, Bess, Ace,

this is our new line cook, Grant.

He's gonna cover us tonight while we're at Bess' party.

You okay to show him the ropes?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Oh, uh, uh, Bess, you got a visitor out back.

See ya.

Kitchen?

- Yeah. - Come on.

I'll introduce you to Ruth, our deep fryer.

You two are gonna be close.

Hey, Ace, I was wondering

- if we could talk over lunch? - You know, I wish I could.

Maine law demands that I take a 30-minute break.

Salad's a misstep... it won't power you

through the afternoon shift.

_

You're removing the flavor layer.

The... flavor layer?

I get it now.

Your last restaurant closed due to lack of flavor.

This is never gonna work.

_

Hello?

Who is this?

Wait.

Let me talk to her.

I'm your brother, Ace.

I tried to tell you, but

it never felt right, because, aside from DNA,

we don't have much in common.

That can't be true.

Come on, litmus test.

Aerosmith or AC/DC?

One, two, three.

- Aerosmith. - AC/DC.

Okay.

And we each have one of these.

Guess it was our dad's move.

He must have made one for your mom

while he was protecting her in WITSEC.

You know about that, right?

All I knew until you contacted me

was we moved around a lot.

Does our dad know about me?

I...

I haven't told him anything.

Do you want him to know?

I'm not sure.

Honestly, I've got bigger problems.

My mom is in trouble.

I got a call.

I was able to find you and your mom

because you left protective custody.

You're gonna get me what I want,

or you'll never see her again.

He said his name is Daniel West

and that he and my mom used to work together

back in her previous life.

He knew my address. He knew I go by my middle name.

He knew my mom's license plate number.

- Can't the marshals protect her? - No.

He sent me this.

Daniel has someone working for him

in my mom's detail... if I call for help

from law enforcement, she's dead.

So what does he want?

He said she stole something very valuable

from the company they used to work for

right before she entered WITSEC.

And now he wants it.

Back then, she said

she'd buried it underground

somewhere in her hometown in a place called Red Gate.

I've looked everywhere,

and I can't find the hiding spot.

Daniel will be here in 24 hours,

which is why I decided to confide in you.

Because you heard that I've been called

the hero of Horseshoe Bay?

Because I knew you could talk Nancy Drew into helping me.

That was my second guess.

Mm.

Look at that.

- Mystery face in the window? - Uh-huh.

On it.

You okay, Grant?

I just can't believe

I've been lied to my whole life.

Yeah.

You're gonna get through it, even though I'm sure it feels

like you don't know who or what to believe anymore.

That's got to be Daniel West.

Do you recognize him?

No. But if I could redirect us back in figuring out

- what Red Gate means. - Oh, it's a farm.

It shut down after I uncovered this nature cult

when I was in the tenth grade.

It was renamed, so that's why you couldn't find it.

I know where it is, though.

It had a fallout shelter there.

That could be where your mom buried that valuable thing.

Uh, the tunnels were unstable even back then.

So we're gonna need some... some pretty serious equipment.

- I got equipment. - Okay.

Um, I'll send you a PIN.

- Meet me there in an hour? - Cool.

Morning, Ace.

- And... - Grant.

He, uh, works at The Claw.

- We're going hiking. - Great.

Hey, so, in the stone age

of the '90s, there was a local woman

who went into witness protection

after testifying against her employer.

Does that ring any bells?

Uh, some very small ones, yes.

So, you know how you said that you wanted to do

some more networking?

- Mm-hmm. - I thought that this

would be a pretty good icebreaker

you could bring up when your chatting up

- your other... - Prehistoric attorneys?

- Yeah. - I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

Well, hello.

Mm. Hey.

Thank you for helping me christen the place.

I already feel the good juju.

- Mm, do you? - Mm-hmm.

Mm.

Okay, hold up.

This...

bad juju.

Mm.

- Is this from... - Tiffany's drive.

In her notes, she said someone in the Hudson inner circle

offered physical proof

that links Everett to murders for hire.

She called this person the Saint.

They made contact through an old mailbox

on Carriage Road, and contact...

has been reestablished.

Damn. 007, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'm meeting the Saint

at the food festival today.

Hey, the best part?

They want me to wear a... a red flower on my lapel

so they know it's me.

Yeah, but if they do have proof,

then I can bring it to the D.A.

to use in Everett's trial.

A mole? I love a mole.

Mm.

Hold on.

The clams just got delivered.

We are gonna win the Chowder Bowl.

Oh. Mm. Oh...

"My darling Bess,

I wake up from the deep darkness

filled with thoughts of you".

"Your eyes, your lips,

your voice echoes in my mind

as I long to be near you.

Do write back.

Leave it where you know I'll find it.

Je t'embrasse. Odette".

It's cool you keep all this stuff.

Mom and I never really had anyone

to do holidays with.

She gets rid of as much as she can

every time we move.

That must have been hard.

I believe we were looking for spelunking items.

Yeah. Um...

I think we're gonna have to improvise.

Spelunking Wiffle ball bat.

Spelunker's lucky lifeguard whistle.

And a couple pairs of...

- Tunnel cleats? - Tunnel cleats.

I bet you never tunnel without 'em.

Hey!

I didn't know you had a friend over.
