Nancy Drew

Hello? Anyone?

I need to get to 118 River Heights Drive.

Nick, what happened?

Who are you?

*NANCY DREW (2019)* Season 02 Episode 11

Episode Title: "The Scourge of the Forgotten Rune"

Aired on: April 07, 2021

I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to ask you to repeat that.

Nancy Drew is your daughter.

And why would you think that?

Her DNA.

I can understand why she kept it a secret.

I mean, she's right to be afraid.

Can you predict your father's reaction when I tell him?

Everett has always wanted you to have a child,

an heir to the company.

But he did not imagine this: A teenaged girl,

legally an adult, who can now destroy our family.

And you haven't told him yet? No.

I wanted to, uh, to talk to you first.

I wanted to be able to assure him

that you didn't know anything until this very moment.

And I would very much like for that to be true.

Well, of course I didn't know, Mother.

Good.

I'll handle it.

Don't worry.

His symptoms are consistent with a severe case

of retrograde amnesia, meaning he's retained basic skills...

Walking, talking, dressing...

However, he does not know who he is or who any of us are.

Right.

Okay.

Hi.

Hey. Sorry about all this.

I just want to understand who I am.

Then we should probably get you changed out of that,

- 'cause that's not you. - Oh, really?

But it-but it's so warm.

You're from Florida.

Not a lot of need for fleece.

I'm from Florida?

Then why am I here in Maine?

It wasn't really your choice.

You got yourself into a little bit of trouble when you were 16.

You came for your friend Tiffany.

Yeah, who actually gave you several

millions of dollars.

So, congratulations, you're a millionaire.

Hey, Ace, any luck

tracking down Nick's phone?

Not yet. Keep asking.

Sorry. I'm working on it.

Hey. What's going on?

Got a little mystery of my own.

Hey, isn't that the box your long-lost brother left you

before he stood you up?

Yep.

My parents have one just like it.

I don't know what it means

or why he'd leave a photo of my dad in it.

And now he's not answering my texts, either.

I am confused.

Your name is Ned Nickerson.

You call me Nick?

Your mom's name is Millie.

Mm-hmm.

Huh. I am your girlfriend. That's-that's important.

- Okay. - Hey.

Found these in your pocket.

These familiar to you at all?

No. No, n-never seen that before.

Then you must have gotten them before you lost your memory.

Hey, let's make a timeline. Who saw Nick last night?

Um, Nick called me around 9:00-ish

to say that he was crashing with Ace again.

You stay on his couch sometimes.

You bounce around.

When we closed up

at 10:00,

Nick said that he was headed to George's.

So I lied?

Do...

I do that a lot?

Maybe I misheard you. Uh...

You know what? I'll go ask my parents

if they saw you last night

and get you some of your own clothes.

So I'm a...

a lying millionaire who couch-hops

and has no home.

No, that is not who you are, Nick.

I have to go. I have a situation.

That, however, is exactly who she is.

We have exactly four hours to save Nancy's life.

'Cause as soon as her Ladies Who Yacht luncheon docks,

Celia has her weekly summit meeting with Everett.

She's gonna tell him then. We cannot let that happen.

- No. - Can we

dial down the dramatics a little bit?

People find out they're grandparents every day.

Not-not you. I'm not... Not you guys.

This isn't a joke, Nancy.

Everett's father made an immutable will.

As Ryan's only child, that means you'll inherit the company.

Everett won't let his legacy go to someone

he knows wants to destroy it.

And there's only one way that he can stop this from happening.

You've both known about this?

Well... yeah.

And you're saying that he would try and kill me?

If he finds out?

Nancy, he's awaiting trial

because you had him arrested on 12 counts of murder.

He came after Laura Tandy and Ace and me

for a hell of a lot less than that, so...

And you wouldn't be the first wayward family member

that he ran off of a ski slope.

Thank you for finally telling me that my life is in danger.

I need to go handle this.

Mom?

Acey. Can I get you a nosh?

Fully noshed. Thank you.

Is there any chance you saw Nick here last night?

No, but I was asleep by 9:00.

It's important to get those REM cycles.

Hey, Mom, what is this box?

I never told you?

Dad made that.

He gave it to me the night

he told me he loved me.

Oh, this is not food-free.

You're not food-free, Grant.

Didn't go well at home, then?

We have this nice, happy life.

What if it's all built on a lie?

What if my dad knows that he has a son,

this kid who's been growing up in witness protection,

and he's just been hiding him from us the whole time?

Well, why don't you ask your dad about it?

You know, Ace, nothing changes

if nothing changes.

Here's your chance.

You tell me first what's going on.

Captain?

Ace, is there a problem?

There was a murder outside of the historical society

last night.

Aristotle Fellowes.

He's an employee there?

That's the tour guide.

They found Nick's phone at the scene.

There's also security footage of his truck leaving the driveway,

just after the time of death.

Well, his estimated time of death.

Aristotle was wearing a step tracker,

so they have an exact time.

Nick is

not here.

I'm a murder suspect? I should...

Shouldn't I go talk to them? No.

You should absolutely not go talk to them.

Come here.

That's what the window's for.

Climb.

I got photos from the crime scene.

As long as you didn't get them

by hacking your dad's phone.

Okay, whatever. Let's see.

Oh...

They think I did this?

- Those slash marks are huge. - No.

What kind of blade does that?

Uh, maybe it was an animal?

I've never heard of an animal in Maine with claws that big.

On the floor beside the body. Zoom in.

Those look to be the same kind of carved bones

that Nick had on him.

Well, why... w-why would I have

the dead guy's carved bones if-if I didn't...

You didn't. Well, we honest.

Could I have killed him?

I mean, h-have I ever done anything like-like this?

Absolutely not. No.

Younger Futhark.

Okay, look.

I did an image search on the symbols on the bones.

Those are Younger Futhark runes.

The-the language of Vikings.

Vikings in Maine? That's random.

Yeah, according to this article,

there was a super-old Norse penny

excavated near Mount Desert Island.

Okay, Vikings, pennies.

None of this brings us any closer

to solving Nick's memory loss.

That might.

That security camera recorded Nick's truck

pulling out of here.

And your truck left something behind.
