Nancy Drew (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - The Drowned Woman - full transcript

So, we wounded the Aglaeca.

With sand from our portent.

How did the sand turn
into the seaweed wreath?

I bet it was because I was
the last one who touched it,

and the wreath was my portent.

The point is, we found
the Aglaeca's kryptonite.

'Cause each of the portents
represented parts of her death:

The seaweed that choked her,
the water that drowned her.

What if we use more of the sand

to finish her off
before she kills us?

We're all out of sand.



We lost it all when she exploded

the dybbuk box.

The sun's about to rise.

We officially have one more day

before our death
visions come true.

No. I know where
to find more sand.

Meet here in two hours.

We'll divvy up the new batch

and put an end to the Aglaeca.

Well, how do we lure her
into the open?

We use ourselves as bait.

Episode Title: "The Drowned Woman"
Aired on: February 17, 2021

What? You're kidding.



I put the seaweed wreath
in here.

There should be sand in here.

No, I, uh... I
feng shui'd the space.

You what?

Oh, I threw it out.

Nancy...

Wait. Hold on.
How-how was I supposed to know

we were gonna need it?

No, it's fine.

No. Listen. No, it's okay.

My chi felt
so balanced afterward. It's okay.

You kidding me?

Of course. The one time a year
Mom decides to vacuum.

What are you looking for?

A lifeline.

Okay, breakfast time, guys.

Get your foot.

Jesse, did you...

cook?

Yeah.

It's probably not
very good though.

'Kay, one of those
is for George, okay?

Give it to me.
Give it to me. But I'm...

- 'Kay, everybody gets one, guys! Stop!
- Charlie, that's mine!

Don't make George
be the octopus!

Sorry.

What do you mean by "octopus"?

An octopus cares for its eggs

for 53 months, and then once...

And then nothing.
It's good and it's happy.

Jesse has a vision,
and we're gonna make it happen.

Right, guys? You know,
I actually don't even remember

the last time
we had breakfast together.

This...
is awesome.

What is wrong with you?

Does having a boyfriend make you mushy?

Okay, guys, the toast
is getting cold.

Okay, just shut up
and eat your food.

The bus is almost here.

Oh. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Breakfast selfie?

Please?
Take a picture.Okay.

Come on!
Everybody get close.

'Kay, we better eat these.

It would mean so much.Quickly.

Come on,
come on, come on.Mm.

Thank you.

Here. You happy? Yeah.

Can I, uh, get another battery,
please?

Ace.

Can-can you stop playing
with your phone for a second?

I'm looking at AJ Crane's death
photo on a 4chan chat board.

Eyewitness got a photo

right after the weathervane
impaled him.

There's a bunch of comments
about what this shadow is

in the woods behind his body.

Whoa.

Looks like the Aglaeca comes

to personally claim her victims.

Think she can be
in four places at once?

Not...

not likely.

So then she comes for you

one by one?

I'd been picturing, like, a...

totally simultaneous
Godfather-style group event.

And that means we got
five shots to take her out.

And one of us is gonna be first.

Hope we found enough
portent sand to split five ways.

We have no sand.

I checked my house,
the office, the cooler.

And our kitchen has weirdly
never been so clean.

Yeah, there's nothing
in my truck either.

What about the Marvin mansion?

No dice.

Unfortunately,
someone hired a cleanup crew

the day after Owen died.

Hmm. Seems like someone let
a cleaning fairy on the loose.

Okay, I'm sorry. It was me.
I'm sorry.

I-I was just trying
to balance our chi, you know?

And I was just
trying to help. You know how you can help?

Stop wallowing in self-pity.

Self-pity?

At least I'm not St. George,
the martyr.

You know, you're always
talking about your family

like it's such a burden,

when the rest of us would kill

- to have something like that!
- O-Okay, okay.

- You don't have to snap at her.
- That was a re-snap.

You can't snap a re-snap.
George snapped first.

Okay, guys, stop. We cannot
fall apart right now.

Nobody's falling apart.
I'm just being transparent.

Says the guy who spied on us

- for the cops.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wait, wait, why did you have
to work for McGinnis again?

Ace had to stay out of jail
because he hacked into

a federal database!

Although you never did
tell me why you did that.

He doesn't owe us an
explanation,

- so just drop it.
- Oh. Of course

she would say that.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means
you think silence is healthy.

It means you operate

on a need-to-know basis.

- I operate?
- Yeah, yeah.

As opposed to interact
authentically with other people

as equals and not use us

as-as tools in your missions

and distractions for your pain.

Nick, my mom had just died.

Wait, what are
we talking about now?

This is irrelevant!

This summer,
when Nancy used Nick

as a means
to deal with her grief.

Ouch. Why are we wasting time
on this right now?

Oh, very on-brand, Drew.
Using our crappy odds

as an excuse not to wrap up
your loose ends.

Okay, just because I refuse
to be fatalistic

does not mean... Fatalistic?
You haven't had a blood bucket curse

hanging over your head
for months. No! No!

I haven't.

I'm just trying
to actually save you

- from dying.
- Yeah.

- Oh.
- Save her?

Okay, this is your fault
to begin with, Nancy.

I mean, look at us.
Correct me if I'm wrong...

Cause...

and effect.

Look at us.

The one moment we're all
supposed to be working together,

this is what we do.

If I caused the curse,

I will avert it, too.

I will find a way
to save us all. Today.

Man, we should've brought binoculars.

I know we're worried
about Nancy, but binoculars

would cross a line, obviously.

Is that obvious?

I wouldn't know. My dad used
to pay P.I.s to tail me.

Are you serious?

Yeah. Wanted to know
how many secrets I had.

How do you even know that?

'Cause one of his P.I.s.
reached out to me personally.

So... we came up with a
number that felt right,

and I started paying him
to give Everett misinformation.

I think Dad caught
on pretty quick,

but I think he respected
my initiative.

It was kind of like our...

father-son bonding
activity, you know?

I have some parenting books
I can recommend to you.

Flattered you think
I could learn.

Why not?

You have a chance
to reinvent yourself now.

- Right?
- Yeah.

Once they set a date
for Everett's trial...

Oh, God. If
they set a date.

Everett's already out
on a million dollars' bail,

and he's got every person
whispering

in the governor's ear.

And you're not gonna stand up
to your father?

I've thought about it.

Even if I had a bulletproof way
to take down Everett,

then what?

Uh, ruin our family's fortune?

Then what do I do?

Work at a coffee shop?

I need sand.

We do live in a beach town.

A-Aglaeca sand.

I know that we've gone through
everything

that you could possibly ever
have that's Aglaeca-related,

but... others have called
to her in the past

and gone to the Keeper for help.

There is a chance
that one of them

put their portent sand
in one of those lockboxes.

If you could check,
I-I really, really need some.

Well, there's nothing
that matches that description

in the lockboxes from my time.

But there are several hundred
years of haunted objects

stored in the archives.

Yeah.

I will check for anything
remotely sand-related.

Wait here.

"Haunted mirror from Chesapeake Bay.

Smelted Babylonian demon bowl.

Shroud used to revive the dead at Antietam.

Cursed Victorian bridal gown. Navajo..."

That ledger is for the Keeper's eyes only.

Is this real?
All of this stuff?

'Cause I could really use some of it.

Against the Aglaeca?

No.

And I just checked.

The only archive item
that even mentions sand

is a cursed effigy
made of sandpiper bones.

Okay, what about the demon bowl?

Or the-the spirit traps?

Nancy,

there is a reason these
boxes have stayed sealed

for hundreds
of years. I know...

No. You can't use a chunk
of uranium to cure cancer.

I'm sorry.

These items are too dangerous.

They'll do more harm than good.

Oh, come on.

Hi.Hey.

Um, I-I know what
this looks like,

but we are not stalking you.

Respectfully following, maybe.

In-in plain sight,

where we can give you
an opportunity

to talk to us about whatever's
been going on with you.

Ryan, why is your car so clean?

Uh, because I
vacuum it every day.

Okay, where's your vacuum?

In the trunk.
What-what is going on?

You keep a vacuum in your trunk?
That's not weird.

That's not weird, right?
I keep a DustBuster in my car,

just in case.

- See?
- Oh.

And it's a good
thing I had it, too,

because that time we took
that side trip to Trenton,

you got my car all dirty.
I had to clean up all the sand.

Uh, sorry.

Uh, I need to borrow this.
I can just buy you

one of your own if you like it.
No, no, don't worry.

Uh, no need to worry about me

and-and stop following me,
please.

I'm sending you
this voice message

because we don't have
enough time left

to risk getting
into another fight.

I found more sand

and divided it up.

We have to make the Aglaeca
think we've given up.

Hey.

Hi.

Just wondering
what you're up to?

Well, uh...

still alive.

Yeah, same.

Anyone got a read on Ace?

Ace's phone. This is Ace.

How's it going?

No sign of the fish lady yet.

Hi, Ace.

Hey, hold on.

I'm merging you in.

Are we all on the line?

- Yeah.
- Still present.

Is everybody okay?

All good.

Just wanted some company
while we're contemplating

shuffling off our mortal coils.

Does anyone besides Nancy

have any loose ends
they want to tie up?

What kind of loose ends?

I don't know...

Regrets, ruminations,

deathbed confessions.

I confess...

that I hacked
into a federal database

to get the phone number of
somebody in witness protection.

You did? Who?

Bess, it's called
witness protection.

Okay. Person's still protected.

I never called the number.

I wasn't brave enough.

Hey, no judgment

as your platanchor.

But I-I do owe you an apology.

I borrowed your pocketknife
without asking.

You took Madeline?

And I took George's
skull bracelet.

Yeah, I knew that.

And your key fob, Nick.

I didn't take any of the keys.

It was just the shiny bit.

I have a problem.

I steal things when I feel bad.

And if we do live,

I am gonna try
and stop doing that.

Stop feeling bad or stealing?

Both.

I haven't done the one thing
that Tiffany wanted me to do.

Use her USB drive
to take down the Hudsons.

And the truth is, I didn't want
to put myself out there

like some...

some sacrificial lamb.

I just...

I just wanted to rebuild
my life.

And... and co-own
a restaurant,

and...

and be in love.

Nick, for what it's worth,

I've skimmed the surface
of that drive.

It's not something
you could do by yourself.

Too many holes
in the information.

You need somebody on the inside
to fill in the blanks

before you could even
think about

taking down the Hudson empire.

Oh, I also need Nancy's
permission,

now that she's technically
a Hudson.

Oh, well, permission granted, if it helps.

George...

what about you?

No regrets.

Nancy's turn.

Well...

I regret ever hurting
any of you.

You trusted me
when I made mistakes.

And I never wanted anybody
to get hurt.

Even though I am a Hudson,

and my genes don't exactly
do me any favors

in the leadership department.

Hey. Hey, Nancy,
I believe you. Okay?

Don't worry.

Yeah, I do, too.

Odette singing in French...

She's here.

Help!

Somebody help me, please!

Odette singing in French...

Hey.

We're not dying today.

My sand will turn
to seawater, and...

It's us. We're first.

- Where is she? Where'd she go?
- I don't know.

Where is she?

Throw the sand!

Hey. Come here.

Help!

Can somebody help me?!

She... She-She's gone.

I can't believe it.

The water from your
portent killed her.

Help!

Somebody help me, please!

Everything's gonna be okay.

Just hold on.

Just hold on, just hold on.

Have you done that before?

It's not my first patch-up,

but that is a story for another time.

Glad we'll all be around to hear it.

Hey, you're okay.

Yeah.

Who did the honors?

We did.

People,

we should be celebrating.

There's sparkling cider
behind the bar.

That'll do nicely.
I will grab it.

Are you guys seeing this?

Godfather-style.

She's coming for us at midnight.

W-We didn't...

We didn't kill the Aglaeca.

We just pissed her off.

It's 9:00 p.m. now. That means
we have three hours left.

Nancy, what are we gonna do?

I don't know.

Hey.

Um, as soon as I find my keys,

I-I'll drive you home.

You know what's funny?

We never fixed that doorknob at my house.

Now that stupid doorknob's

gonna outlive me on this planet.

Well, all the more reason
for you to spend

the last few precious hours
with the people

that you care about.

Come on, your family
will be waiting for you.

Actually, they're not.

They think I'm still at work.

Which means Charlie

is still up watching BTS dance videos

even though she knows
she's supposed

to put her phone away
at bedtime.

Jesse's working
on a marine mammal poster

'cause the science fair
is this week.

And Ted...

Ted's probably been asleep for hours

underneath a blanket tent

she makes
in the entrance hallway.

If I went home right now,
I would ruin everything.

Think that I'm your brother,

and I wanted you

um, before it's too late.

You said you had something
you wanted to give me?

Before she died,
Tiffany left me a USB drive

with a link
to a couple of gigabytes

of Hudson dirty laundry.

She and I were friends.
There's a lot

you never knew about her,
including her ability

to put puzzles together.

But this was one
she never got to finish.

She wanted to bring
your father to justice.

Now, the files alone
aren't enough to convict him.

It'll take someone on the inside

to fill in the holes
in the evidence.

So, this...

is for you.

What makes you think

that I won't take that
and just bury it?

It's a copy.

And...

I know you want to be a father
to Nancy in some kind of way,

and she'll never let you in
unless you prove yourself.

So, I'm offering you
a game changer.

I can't make any promises.

I don't expect you to right now,

but I'm hoping that
you feel different tomorrow.

Nancy. Remember that night

when Mom was in
New York for work

and we had the house
to ourselves,

so you ordered
barbecue chicken pizza

and we-we watched videos
of baby llamas

- until 2:00 in the morning?
- Yeah.

You were 12.

Well, I need us to pretend

that it is that night
when everything

was still okay,
because, God, you know,

I have not felt that way
in a long time,

and I would like to now
for an hour.

You're scaring me right
now. What's going on?

Just... I don't have time,

so could you just do this
for me, please?

You want your dad back.

The one who raised you.

The one you could trust.

I need him now, yeah.

I can't pretend that
I didn't mess everything up.

And we may never be
what we were,

but that doesn't change
how much I love you.

How could you love something

that was never really yours?

From the moment

Lucy put you in my arms

and made me promise
to protect you,

you are what I've lived for.

- That love is my life.
- But it was a lie!

Not the love.

Whatever you need to call us...

father, daughter,
Carson, Nancy...

that love lives in me forever.

It lives in us forever.

She remembers.

Even after we die.

Nancy.

I love you, too, Dad.

I have to go. I'm sorry.

We were wrong before.

I was wrong.

The sand from the portents,

it represents the trauma

that Odette experienced
in her death.

By using it against her,
it only reminded Odette

why she became the Aglaeca
in the first place.

It only made her angrier
and stronger.

So, that's it, then.
The Aglaeca can't be destroyed.

Not with violence.
But we can appeal

to the human the
monster once was.

There-there has to be
a piece of Odette

left inside the Aglaeca.

If we can tap into that

and remind her
who she used to be,

I think that could be enough.

I think that could be enough
to keep her from killing us.

So, it's the Aglaeca
that wants us dead, not Odette.

So, are you in?

Odette became the Aglaeca

because she died in a state
of fear, rage and suffering.

So, all we have to do

is remind her who she was.

These letters,

she wrote them on her voyage
across the Atlantic.

They're to an Englishwoman
that she loved.

So, Lonesome Ghost Agnes

must have found these
in Odette's possessions

before they locked
her in a cellar?

"Sharay Marie,

ill fight tropp froyd sans toy."

It's French.

"ChèreMarie, uh, it is..."

"Too cold without you."

Count of Monte Cristofan.

Alexandre Dumas.
He wrote in French.

So, that's your big play, Drew?

You suddenly realize that love

is the most human thing
that humans can ever human,

and now we're reading
letters to a ghost?

Love is fundamental.

And desperate.

And the one weapon
we haven't tried.

Odette

and the Englishwoman
met in London.

They were really
into stargazing.

Odette made the voyage
to come build a life for them.

Even though the ocean scared her.

I think the letters in
English make that clear.

But the Englishwoman
loved the sea,

especially the beach.

And Odette said
once she landed in America

that she would
send her bottles... Of sand.

"Jesper kwee tee reverray

dance Ce mondee..."

"Ow Le pro chain."

Okay, what does "Jesper" mean?

"J'espère."

I hope.

It's time.

Do you hear that?

She's here.

Which way is she coming from?

I don't know.

"I think of you amongst the stars

and count the days
until we land, when I can

send for you. " The ship is
lonely. But my dreams of the life

we shall build together
keep me company."

"It is love that keeps me warm.
I feel it in my heart..."

Um, uh, "I-If there were
such thing as magic... Don't stop!

...that the ocean between us
were nothing..."

No! George, no!

I face the mystery
of this journey with courage,

because it is with you.

How did you do that?

I don't know, it was her words,

- but by heart.
- Somebody remember some more!

Um, uh, something
about the seasons.

Um, the leaves...
the leaves

turn amber and I see your eyes.

Oh, my God,

- it's working!
- In this world that tries

to silence me,
the most dangerous words

I can speak are that
I love you.

I hope you never forget me.

Where did she go?

Odette.

We see you.

You were not

what they did to you
on that ship. You were

strength and sadness
and fear and passion.

You were human.

You were not forgotten.

You were loved.

Please.

Oh...

It's tomorrow.

We... we made it.

George.

George.

George. George?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my G...

Uh, George, uh...

Bess! Bess,
I need those towels, please!

Coming!
Coming, I'm coming. Oh...

- The landline's down, too.
- You're gonna be okay.

- Sorry.
- No, no, don't be sorry.

I'm sorry.

What you sorry for?

- No. We're gonna...
- I love you.

We're gonna... we're gonna...
we're gonna fix this, right?

We're gonna fix this.
We're gonna fix this, and you're

gonna be okay. Yeah?
Yeah, you with me?

You're gonna
be okay. Hey.

Hey...

Hey, George, you're
gonna be okay.

George.

George?

Nick.

She said she loves you.

What? She loves you.

No.

No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no.
George? George? George?!

George. George.

Nancy! Nancy, where
are you going?!

I am not letting
this happen to her.

- Oh, my God.
- Nick, let me help you.

No, no. I got her, okay?
I got her, okay? Just back...

Just...

George...

"Shroud used to revive the dead."

Come on.

Come on!

Damn it! Oh!

Oh.

Nancy, what have you done?!

I'm sorry, Hannah.
I can't lose her.

- George needs this.
- We don't know what

using that shroud would do!

Oh, God, please work.

Oh, please.

Please, please.

George, please. Please.

Oh...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh.

Oh. Oh!

Okay.

Personal space, Drew.

Oh, thank you.

What? Hey.

Hey. Oh, okay. Oh...

Hey.

Hey.

Oh.

Hey. Hey.

Hi. Hi. Hi.

No more curses.

Aglaeca, blood bucket
or otherwise.

And no urgent mysteries
to solve.

Yeah, for the first time since
we met, we're actually free.

Don't jinx it, Bess.

Yeah, you're right. Sorry.

Well, I, for one, think
we deserve a toast.

- I'll get some cider.
- Yeah, I'll come, too.

No, it's okay.
