Nancy Drew (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - The Mystery of Blackwood Lodge - full transcript

Previously onNancy Drew...

Lucy Sable
was crowned Sea Queen,

disappeared after the
celebration, never seen again.

The girl who became
the ghost haunting me.

All that was left
of Horseshoe Bay's

most infamous Sea Queen:

a broken crown with strands
of her hair still in it.

I'm gonna figure out
who killed you, too.

So that Lisbeth,
she was something else, huh?

The thing is, I guess I've just been on my own for so long,

I've never let myself get close to someone like that.



I think Lucy wants me
to find something else.

I'm trying to imagine

what senior year will look like.

:
I've been trying...

trying... try-trying...

rying... ryin...

Ryan Hudson.

Did he have something
to do with your death?

Come on, Lucy.

What's the connection

between you and Ryan Hudson?

I can't find it
in that teenage poem of yours

I pulled out of a time capsule.

There's a ball, a prince,
a Pegasus,



a kraken, and a Medusa.

Thanks, Lucy.
Way to be literal.

What do you do when
the dead stop talking to you?

Hello?

Is anybody home?

Mr. Hudson?

She started pulling away.

It was after this party
she went to,

some exclusive
underground thing.

I mean...Whoa, watch it.

...I asked her out, so I
guess it's up to me

Hey! So it's up to me to
book the restaurant, right?

I mean, that's protocol.
I-It's protocol.

It's a first date, Bess, it's
not a parliamentary hearing.

So I booked a-a
reservation at Emilio's.

Want to know why?

Do you want to know what
she said when I told her?

"Okay."

You know, she could have said,
"That's great," or "Yum."

You know,
she could have said, "Yum."

So-so I canceled
the reservation.

And I'm...Okay, fix her.
I don't care how.

It's inventory day;
I need her fixed.

Hey, is Nancy in yet?

I found more stuff about
Owen Marvin in Tiffany's files.

Right. Like your
girlfriend's going to ruin

her perfect record
of never being on time?

What do we know
about the Velvet Masque?

Uh, is that a band?

No. It's the underground,
depraved, pervy,

rich people's party
for East Coast one-percenters.

That's in a different secret
location every five years.

Yeah, yeah. But I always thought
it was an urban legend.

Legend or not,
steer clear.

Rumor is, they brand townies
or hunt them... or both.

Uh, speaking of
shady rich people

with questionable hobbies...Let me guess.

You found more dirt
on Owen in those files.

See, I always thought Tiffany
was targeting the Hudsons.

Yeah, she was, but Owen's
name keeps popping up.

And the Hudsons and the Marvins
used to do business together,

so maybe Owen knew Tiffany
was digging up skeletons.

I've been following him around
to see what I can find.

What did you find?

Uh, that I don't really like
following people around.

Show me what you got.

I'll talk to Owen.

Uh, okay.

Hey...

don't let this guy
pull any of his rich

and charming
crap on you.

Don't worry.

Rich and charming
isn't my type...

unless it's you.

Guys.

Come on.
People eat here.

Nancy Drew.

Are you staking out
my parking spot?

Yes. Got to solve the mystery

of how you keep your car
so clean.

So what field
are we digging up tonight?

No digging.

But I did have
a couple questions.

You and Ryan Hudson.

Associates?
Business partners?

Mortal enemies?

I'd say all of the above.

My turn. Is it possible
these questions

are coming from
a certain mechanic?

Good cheekbones,
bad at following people around?

They are very
good cheekbones.

Is there another question?

The Velvet Masque.

Urban legend or
does it exist?

And if it exists,
where is it?

Also, when?

That's...
more than one question.

And you didn't answer
any of them.I'll tell you what,

how about we discuss this
tomorrow night over dinner?

Tomorrow?

Why not tonight?

I'm busy.

Are you now?

Right around dusk?

I have to go.

Hey. Let's go
sailing sometime.

Sorry.

I-I didn't mean to scare you.

Ryan.

What are you doing here?

I think someone's
trying to kill me.

I really need to talk
to your father right now.

You tell me what happened
in your house, I'll tell you

where he is.I don't know.

All I know is-is...

I was hearing things all night.

You know, I think somebody
might have broke in.

They were rummaging
through my stuff.

I freaked out. I left.

I went and stayed at a hotel.

Who do you think is after you?

Let's just say that
I owe money to people

that you don't want
to owe money to.

You're a Hudson.
Write a check.

I can't.

My father... cut me off.

He hit the roof when he found
out about what happened

at the fundraiser.

You mean making out
with your teenaged ex-girlfriend

at a fundraiser
to honor your dead wife?

He froze my assets, Nancy.

I'm broke.

I'm broke.

Except... I have these
antique Roman coins.

It's the most valuable thing
that I own.

It was a wedding gift
from my family,

and I was gonna take them
and sell them

at this underground auction
tonight.

Let me guess.

The Velvet Masque.

I didn't say that.

Look, all I know is that these
coins are in my family's

secure private
storage facility.

And as I'm persona non grata,
I can't get to them.

But I figured, you know,

maybe your father could...
pull some strings.

He's in Boston.

And unreachable.

But I can get your coins.

I kind of know

how to break into places.Oh, yeah, right.

What have you ever broken into?

Your house, two weeks ago.

You know what?
Don't answer that.

I don't want to know.

But tell me, what's in
it for you, Nancy Drew?

You take me
to the Velvet Masque.

Well?

Do we have a deal?

Okay, it's settled.

We're doing a late lunch
here at The Claw.

It's perfect.

Is it? 'Cause it seems
kind of lame.

You know,
I just asked Lisbeth

to go on a romantic lunch
at my place of work.

It's in your comfort zone,
right?

Yeah, you're right, but...

You're treating me
like I don't date a lot.

You don't date a lot.Okay, yeah,
but that's not the point.

I think y-you're gonna
be really great.Do you think?

Yeah.
Okay.

Now, we should
talk icebreakers.

Here you want
to be honest,

but not aggressively so.Okay.

What does that mean?Maybe don't lead

with the fact that you
sometimes live in a van.

Or your mild kleptomania.

Oh.
Or your family.

Oh.

You weren't kidding.

Tiffany must have been
investigating for years.

Yeah, I think she was trying
to look for an overlap

between the Marvin and the
Hudson shipping empire.

Still, I have no idea
what this stuff is.

This one's a shipping manifest.

You sure?

Dude. Maritime family.

For three generations,
the Fans fished.

Did Nancy get anything
on Owen?

No. She hasn't
called me back yet.

Now, what's that look?

Just trying to decide
if you sending Nancy to Owen

showed great confidence
or great stupidity.

Oh, a little of you
goes a long way.

Oh, I know.

That's why I don't fish.

Imagine me on a boat.

Hey, I have a question for you.

Look, if it's about the layout,
we already went over it.

It's about Lucy Sable.

Eh, Lucy Sable
like the town ghost story?

She went to the Velvet Masque
the year before she died.

You were probably there.

Do you remember seeing her?

I'll be right back.

Hey.

Uh, what's up?
Wh-What's up?

Is everything okay?
I've been leaving messages.

You're missing
inventory day.Uh,

I'm fine.
I should have called, but I...

Is that...

Ryan Hudson?

Okay.

You're helping Ryan Hudson?Just today.

It's important.
He thinks somebody's
trying to kill him.

So go help thatperson,

not the liar-slash-crazy
ex-boyfriend in your kitchen

who may have killed someone.

Spoilerhe may have
killed two someones

Tiffany andLucy Sable.

He is the only
common denominator.

Lucy Sable?
What's she got to do with this?

I'm being haunted by her. Okay?

She's...
been communicating with me.

Oh. So I get possessed,
and now you're haunted?

This isn't
a competition.
Okay.

Uh, what's she

communicating?Something happened to her

at the Velvet Masque
20 years ago.

Why didn't you tell me
about that this morning?

Or-or when it all started.

It's like you
don't trust us.

I made a deal with Ryan

to get me
into the Velvet Masque.

What if the bad thing
that happened to her wasRyan?

I can handle it, George.What's he get
out of this deal, huh?

A date with an 18-year-old?

I made a deal
to retrieve some coins for him.

Some old Roman burial coins.

He's trying
to auction them off tonight.

But if I can get
into that party,

maybe I can figure out
what happened to Lucy.

What about Tiffany?

I'm working on it.
I've got some calls in

to my friend
who's analyzing her blood, okay?

Are we good?

Yeah.

Hundred percent.

A hundred percent?

I rounded up.

Hey, look, look.

Roman burial coins.

They're in the
shipping manifest.

I mean, what are
the chances?

They got to be the
same ones, right?

Why are they important?

I don't know.

I know a harbormaster who might.

Ah, right.

Maritime family.

Also, he dated my mom.

Mom is so sorry

she couldn't
make it. Oh.

You brought her
chocolates.

It's okay.

They'll, uh... they'll keep.

Hey, since you're here,

could you look
at something for us?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
of course.

Uh, it's an old
shipping manifest.

This is from the Bonny Scot.

This is not just
an old shipping manifest.

This is a record of the dead.

See, she sank

18 years ago.

Took the entire crew with her.

And the cargo, well,
that was priceless antiquities

from all over Europe
it was ancient...

urns, relics, statuary

and a dozen Roman burial coins.

The 12 coins of Charon.

I want to know why coins

that should be
at the bottom of the sea

are in Ryan Hudson's
possession.

That's why Tiffany saved
cashed checks

from the insurance company.

If the Hudsons put in a claim
for these coins...

that would suggest...

What, they stole a cargo

full of their own
antiquities and...

sank the ship to hide the crime?

Killing the whole crew
in the process.

The coins could prove

the Hudsons are complicit in,
like, a dozen murders.

Why would Ryan
be selling them?

He must not know
the whole story.

No wonder someone
wants to kill him.

Come on, Nancy, where are you?

What the hell
was that?

That was Lucy Sable.

You might not remember her,

but she definitely
remembers you.

That's it.
I'm getting stood up.

Positive thoughts, Bess.

Mm.

You're a candle in the wind.

Yeah, that
doesn't mean anything.

Doesn't it?

Hi!

Sorry I'm late.

Ah, are you?

I didn't even notice.

Oh, um...

welcome to The Claw.

It is totally charming.Yeah.

Although I'm not sure
how it stays in business

without any customers.

Oh. Well...

we're just closed
for the day.

It's not, like, a
health violation,

like vermin.

You know, there's no vermin.
It's not vermin.

I've... I've
never seen

any vermin. Mm.Hey, would you
stop saying "vermin"?

Hi.Hi.

Uh, Bess, it's okay.
You told me

you're closed for inventory
I'm just kidding.

:
Oh. Good one.

Who would like to hear
the specials?

Not now. We're talking.

Okay.

I'll get...

So, Bess...Hmm?

I realize I hardly know
anything about you.

Oh, well, ask me anything.

I'm an open book.

What part of town
do you live in?

Uh...

"Ryan and Tiffany."

So...

we both saw that, right?

I mean...

A ghost I mean,
that-that's...

what we're saying, that's
what's happening here?

That's what's happening here.

It's this house.

It's your house.

No.

It isn't this house.

Who do you think was
at your house last night?

Lucy Sable...

is haunting you, too.

Come on, you knew her,
didn't you?

When we were
teenagers, we-we...

went out a couple
times, that's it.

Here, read that.

"The Prince

carried me to
a secret ball."

Lucy wrote this?

That's you, isn't it?

The Prince?

You-you took her
to the Velvet Masque.

Wha-What happened there?

What happened
afterwards?

Look, all I know is
that we had a summer fling,

it ended,

and then she went
off the deep end,

somebody murdered her.

That's it, end of story.

Hey.

Do not give Ryan those coins.

Too late.

Uh, well, get them back.

They're the key to bringing down
the Hudson family.

Tiffany's records led me
to those coins.

She wanted me to find them.I... I believe you.

But those coins will not help
solve Tiffany's murder,

and they are my only shot
at getting answers about Lucy.

I'm sorry.

Chin up, Sparky.

At least she said,
"I'm sorry."

I don't get it.

I mean,
why-why's she being so...

Relentless?

Single-minded?

Nick...

that's who Nancy is.

As long as I've known her,

she's always had
these big walls up.

You could stand
right next to her

and never get close.Oh. I thought I did.

If you want to stay
in the game,

you need to be
just as relentless.

Okay.

Okay, Ryan has the coins.

Short of bidding on them at
a party we're not welcome at,

no way we even get
a look at them.

Okay, first things first,
to get into the Velvet Masque,

you need to know
the right people,

Hey, Bess is a Marvin.Yeah,

a van-living Marvin, so no.

Oh. Okay.

What about a Tandy?

How'd the date go?

Well...

30 minutes in,
she gets a text

that her niece is
in the hospital

for an emergency
appendectomy.

And then she left.

And that was the best part,
because the pain was over.

Hey.

How, uh, how badly did you
mess things up with Laura Tandy?

Olive branches were
extended and accepted.

Solid.

Great. Would you mind calling
and asking her for a favor?

No, I'll never
smile again.

Okay.

Bess...

how would you like
to get a new dress,

go to an exclusive
rich person's party,

and...

maybe even get the chance
to steal something?

Hey!

There's that smile.

This is your last chance
if you don't want to be here.

No, you know what?
This was a mistake.

Like it was for your last date?

You got your coins.
We made a deal.

Fine, but if anything
happens to you, you're not

my responsibility.

You don't want me to go in?

Tell me what happened
to Lucy right here.

You don't give up, do you?

Hello.

I already told you,
I don't know anything about her.

Evening. Uh,
guests of Laura Tandy?

Everyone is
looking at us.

Well, what
did you expect?

I knew I should've worn
Balenciaga.

Hey, we were never
gonna fit in.

Let's just get
to the auction.

Who invited
the townies?

Okay, first, we need to be
less identifiable in a lineup.

Let's grab some masks
from that creepy sex room.

Yeah, go.

So, this is what the rich do

when they think
nobody's looking.

Listen, I don't want to
babysit you all night, so...

I haven't seen a Pegasus,
Medusa or kraken.

Till now.

"I watched Medusa embrace

the kraken and not her husband, the king."

Why am I not surprised?

What's the kraken?

My Uncle Sebastian.

He masqueraded as the kraken
every year until he died.

He was like a dad to me.

I'm sorry for your loss.

It was a long time ago,
but thanks.

Is it true you came
here with Ryan Hudson?

He got me in.

What?

You had your chance.

Do you happen to know anything
about Ryan

bringing Lucy Sable here
in 1999?

At five years old, I wasn't
quite old enough to attend.

But I'm sure you heard stories
from that party, right?

Listen, Nancy,
no one tells stories

about what goes on here.

Got it.

Back to Ryan.
You wouldn't happen to know

about a certain set of coins
he's auctioning?

Everybody wants those coins.

Those coins are proof
that the Hudsons

double-crossed my family.

The Bonny Scotwas a co-venture
between our companies

until it sank.

12 souls died, including
my Uncle Sebastian.

He and Everett Hudson
used to be huge rivals.

My aunt always suspected
foul play.

And then you heard

Ryan was selling
those coins tonight

when they're
supposed to be underwater.

I don't have them.

You'll have to bid. Sorry.

Make it up to me

by leaving.

Please.

I'm trying to protect you.

I'll leave...

as soon as you tell me
where I can find a Pegasus.

Ryan?

Sweetheart.

Oh, I've been worried.

Mother.Where have you been?

I've been busy.

Where were you when
we buried my wife?

Oh, I am so sorry
I had to miss Tiffany's funeral.

The airline is issuing
a personal apology,

and you do know
I would have been there

if I could.Well,

don't worry. Your
husband had the whole

"she was like a daughter
to me" BS covered.

Oh, Ryan.
I know that you're grieving,

and I can only imagine
the pain you must be in,

but you cannot sell those coins.

They have to stay in the family.

Well, Everett should've
thought about that

before he kicked me
out of the family.

They're my coins to sell.

Your father is simply trying
to teach you a lesson.

Just give me the coins,

and I will tell him
the lesson is learned.

You know that this is a problem
I can solve.

I never liked the way you
solve my problems, Mother.

Should be this way.

Nicholas. You're here, too.

Cool.

Nancy, walk down
the hallway.

Third door on the right.

Remember our agreement.

Okay.

You two seem chummy.

Please tell me you're not
here to steal the coins.

We're here to steal the coins.

You didn't leave us much choice.

There are too many of us here.

You're gonna get caught.

Then all of us will get
thrown out before any of us

get the chance to do
what we came here to do.

We wouldn't be doing this
if you'd just tell us

why you're chasing a ghost.

Nick,

I need you to trust me. Please.

Then trust me.

Let me in.

Soon.

I promise.

I went overboard
disinfecting this mask.

My eyes are burning.

You feeling better?

Eh, kind of.

Do you think I
should text Lisbeth?

You know, see how
her niece is doing?

I think she's doing fine.

She fake emergency texted me.

Seems like your niece made
a miraculous recovery.

Bess. Hi.

I... Oh, my God,
you look amazing.

Do I? Or is that another lie?

Well, I do, actually.

I'm here for work.
My bosses prefer

that I keep
my movements discreet.

Why are you here?

I'm here for work, also.

So we're just gonna
keep lying, then?Well,

I will tell the
truth when you do.

Hmm.

Pegasus.

"The monsters were cruel,

"so I did hide
behind the Pegasus's wing.

"I watched Medusa
embrace the kraken

and not her husband, the king."

Oh, Sebastian.

I've missed you.

You have to go.

You are in so much trouble.

What are you doing here?

I said...

what are you doing here?

You shouldn't have been
back there. In fact,

you shouldn't even be
at this party at all.

This is no place
for a girl like you.

A townie?

The less gracious attendees
can be awful to locals.

Locals like Lucy Sable?

She came to this party
with your son 20 years ago.

Did she?

Well, my son has had
a lot of summer dates.

But you'd remember a girl

who caught you
in a compromising position

with your husband's
greatest rival, wouldn't you?

What exactly
do you mean, dear?

I think

Lucy caught you with
Sebastian Marvin.

Less than a year
later, she was dead.

Not long after,
so was he.

In a shipwreck.

Words have consequences,
young lady.

Some rumors even kill.

I would not take kindly
to someone spreading that one.

But I imagine
you can be very discreet.

Just like your father.

What does that mean?

It means it's time
for you to go home.

Gather round, all.

The auction
will begin momentarily.

Nick.

We want the same thing, right?

Justice.

We should help each other.

Nancy and I don't
need your help.

Let us
commence the bidding.

Looking for any
item in particular?

Our first offering:

six and a half kilos of powdered
South African rhino horn.

Gross and illegal.

We will begin the bidding

at $20,000.

Do I hear $20,000?

$20,000. Do I hear $25,000?

$25,000.

Do I hear 30? $30,000?

$30,000. Do I hear 35?

$30,000 going once. Twice.

Sold to the gentleman in brown.

Congratulations.

Our next offering:

12 Roman burial coins

from the year 27 BC.

These coins were rumored
to have been placed

on the eyes of emperors
when they died.

We'll start the bidding
at $500,000.

Do I hear $500,000?

What's going on?

Um, I got to go.

Townies have lost hands
for less.

Let her go.

:
They're not part of our Trust.

They're my guests.
I vouch for them.

They're gonna leave now
and never speak a word

of what they've seen here.

Yeah. Yeah.

Not a word.

Ow.

Luce?

Luce.

Ryan.

It's the ring.

Ryan, it's the ring.

"Lucy, arrow, Tiffany."

They're connected.

Lucy was trying to tell me
that her death led to Tiffany's.

Ryan.

No, I didn't... I
didn't kill anybody,

I swear to you.You lied
about knowing Lucy.

You've been lying about
everything the entire time.

I know. I know.

Look, I was away

at boarding school...

...when Lucy was murdered.

After she died,
my dad told me

I could never talk
about her again.

That's the first time
I've ever believed

that you actually cared
about something.

Or someone.

I really liked her.

I mean, I brought her here
just to try to impress her,

you know, and...

that was a big mistake.

Something bad happened
that night...

and I tried... I tried to get
her to tell me what it was,

and she wouldn't.

I had this one good thing in
my life, and I ruined it.

My parents, they would
never let me see her again,

and every time Lucy
called, they...

they wouldn't let
me talk to her.

They just kept
telling me that...

they handled it.

How did they handle it?

The same way they handled
everything back then.

Carson Drew.

Nancy. Hey, I got your texts.

Tell me you have
an update, John.

Oh, I have an update, John.

Uh, Tiffany's sample's
gonna require more time,

but Lucy's crown had
a second set of DNA.

The hair samples present
belonged to two separate people.

The first belonged to Lucy
it matches the blood sample

from the rocks.And the second must belong
to the guy who killed her.

Actually, not a guy.

A girl.

The second hair sample
had female DNA.

Maybe Celia Hudson did it

and not my father.

Well...

that was a disaster.

Hmm. Pretty good
until Bess

almost lost a hand, right?I wouldn't
call any part

of tonight good.

I had a lot of fun.

Yeah, because you dove
headfirst into Lisbeth's face.

Yeah!

And... all failure aside,

I forgot how exhilarating
stealing is.

Oh, come on.

No judging.

I didn't say anything.

I felt your judgy eyes.

Random locker checks
starting this week.

Look, I'm sorry, guys.

This was on me.

Y'all could have
gotten hurt.

Hey. No sweat.

We're all still two-handed
thanks to cousin Owen.

When you get up the
guts to talk to him,

I think you should
lead with that.

Looks like I missed some things.

'Cause you were
too busy ghost hunting.

HeadlineThings
didn't go so well for us.

I wouldn't say that.

I switched 'em

when you guys got kicked out.

Some rich guy
is now $4.16 richer.

It took us

getting kicked out
for you to help us?

Or because you got kicked
out, I had to help.

Mm, that's a way to frame it.

Teamwork.

Hey.

I got your smoking gun, Nick.

You can take it to the
authorities like you had wanted.

I... I hope you found

what you're looking for, Nancy.

W-What wewere looking for.

Uh...

I found out
that Lucy and Tiffany

each learned things that
could have gotten them killed

by the Hudsons.

I'll handle that.

So, after you all leave,

the auction resumes.

I win the coins,

only to find out
that my $1.5 million

bought me a handful
of quarters,

one dime and...
six pennies.

Maybe they're
lucky pennies.

I trust the coins will find
a good home, at least.

And bring some justice for
the victims of the Bonny Scot.

I've got a contact
at the FBI office

in Portland.Oh, give me their number.

In the case
that I happen

to come across the coins.

I've got a crowbar
in the back.

Kneecaps first?

No. I'm good.

We should finish up

inventory day
or at least start it.

Hi.

Hey.

Um...

The truth is, I...

I really like you, Bess.

Can we start over?

I don't know, Lisbeth.

You-you keep a
lot of secrets.

How do I know that
I can trust you?

Well, you keep
a lot of secrets, too.

So maybe we can keep
each other in check.

I like
the sound of that.

Yeah?Yeah.

Have dinner with me.

Owen.

I'm not available.

My heart belongs to
a certain mechanic

with very good cheekbones.

He's a lucky guy.
