Nancy Drew (2019–…): Season 3, Episode 7 - The Gambit of the Tangled Souls - full transcript

Another petrified rat carcass?

Ooh, this creature went all-in
on the morbid decorations. Ugh.

Yeah, we'll bring this to Nick.

If he can take it apart,
then we can figure out

when the entity
was first locked up here.

How did Hannah even know
about this place?

And why'd she release

a supernatural killer
and then go off the grid?

Yeah, and not to make
this all about me,

but, boy, is this terrible
timing for George Fan.

I could really
use Hannah's input



on this knock-off
soul-splitter.

I would like to live my whole
life, thank you very much.

But Bess is on that
for you, right?

She's been researching stuff?

Yeah, she collected
some other artifacts

from Bertram Bobbsey's cache

of black-market relics
from the Civil War.

We're pretty sure
the soul-splitter is

in his storage locker.

Ace got the key from Amanda.

The place opens in two hours.

Wow, that's promising.

I mean, if we can
do this ritual right,

maybe I won't have to die
in ten years after all.



Uh-uh, not today,
you heart-freezing,

hat-wearing son of a...

Ooh!

Whoa.

I've been
called worse.

What are you doing down here?

None of my texts
are going through.

Yeah, ain't no cell
service in this cell.

We have a slight wrinkle.

Mr. Bobbsey told the cops
about his storage locker,

so if we don't get there
first...

No soul-splitter for us.

Okay, change of plans.

New mission.

We beat the cops
to the soul-splitter

and we save George's
life today.

♪

That's the
Bobbsey's storage locker

in that building there.

That was a very short mission.

We're too late. We
need a miracle now.

Or a lawyer.

Just the incredibly handy man
I was looking for.

Hey.Okay,

um, so, Nancy
is looking for clues

about the supernatural killer

who was once imprisoned
in this lock.

Can you please
examine this thing

for age, origin,
etcetera, etcetera?

Yeah.

Yeah, ooh, and meanwhile,

George has gone
to Bobbsey's storage locker

with Ace and Nancy to see
about the lead we found.

See? Full disclosure.

Yeah, okay. Uh, this-this lead
you're talking about--

is this the relic

that could untangle
George's soul from Odette's?

That very one.

Meanwhile,

I may have ulterior motives
for being here.

Well, if it isn't the most
interesting woman in the world.

What's on the agenda today?

Slaying a dragon?
No, no.

Unfortunately, my dragon-slaying
sword is in the shop.

But I was wondering what your
plans were for dinner tonight.

Tonight?

Um, I'm in.

Yeah.

Sorry. Uh, I have to take this,

but I'll call you later

to figure out
the plans.

Hey, yeah, I let Nick know
what you were doing.

Full disclosure,
as instructed.

Hold that thought.

How much do you know
about the soul-splitter ritual?

Ah, I mean,
I've-I've read a bit,

but I've barely
scratched the surface.

Scratch harder, Bess.
Today's the day.

What?

The cops are tagging items
from Bobbsey's storage unit.

If we can get our hands
on that soul-splitter,

we'll have to get it back before
anyone knows it's missing.

So, I'm sorry, but that means
au revoir to Odette today.

Today... Oh.

I don't want to tell Nick
what's going on

until we know
What's actually happening.

I don't want to worry him
for no reason.

So, can you do the ritual
or not?

Ah.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.
We have to try.

Bess is gonna meet us
at Nancy's house.

Here comes the rest
of the cavalry.

Motion's been filed.

This should keep the police from
going in there any time today.

How much do I want to know
about why this is happening?
I...

did something, by accident,
to George,

and it caused a life crisis,
and I need to fix it.

With a 19th-century relic that
Bertram Bobbsey has in storage?

Yeah. Uh, George's life
depends on it.

Hey, it's all good.
We're here to help.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Both of... you.
Yeah,

well, I-I drove him here
because my car is faster,

and he over-brakes.

What? No.
Also for moral support.

Why wasn't I informed
about this?

Hey.
Bertram Bobbsey's case

also concerns my client
Asher Davies.

He has a vested interest
in the contents

of this storage unit, one that
may conflict with the D.A.'s.

You'll get a full evidence log
in discovery.

No, we have to
delay discovery

until there's a third party
on site to monitor this search.

This is your
ex parte notice.

I've called

for an emergency injunction
hearing this afternoon.

Everyone, stop.

It's all yours,
Counselor.

You can put that down.

You know, this could have been
so much easier.

You just had
to break up with Amanda.

You couldn't wait one more day?

You broke up with Amanda?

She broke up with me.

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Problem, Officer?

I was told to
clear the area.

Go home, kids.

Especially you, Nancy.

I'm gonna text the dads,
tell 'em to meet us at the house

once they have the relic.

We're sure this is legal, right?

I'm allowed to look at evidence
concerning my client.

And it's not like we're
breaking and entering.

They gave us a key,
you let us in.

Here.

This is what we're looking for.

So, how are you gonna
make this up to the D.A.?

It's, like, I know
you're into her.

What?

No, I'm not. We're
sharing information

on a case.
That's all.
Okay.

Right. I saw the way
you looked at her.

Can we maybe not have
this conversation?

Please?

And can you please

not destroy
any other potential evidence?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

"Juvenescence Elixir
gives the user reduced

inhibitions of youth."

Ah.

That's a strong smell.
Hey!

Bobbsey guy's
into some crazy stuff.

Eesh.

Oh, ho, ho.

You see, I might be clumsy,
but I get the job done.

That's it.Yes. Here. Let me
take a picture of it.

Got it?
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Right here.

There you go.

God. Here, use my jacket
to keep it safe.

Oh, good call.

Okay, Nancy says,

"Bring it back ASAP."

What? ASAP?

Why do you got
to be like that, Mom?

Like we work for her
or something?

"Bring it to the
house, ASAP!"ASAP!

Take a chill pill, Nancy.

Why am I wearing this?

I do not know, bro.
You shouldn't be.

Hold that.

No. No. No.

Oh, yeah.

I think I like
this much better.

Oh, dude, that's you.Right?

Oh.

Oh, sweet.

Let's take it for a spin.

So, I've studied the ritual.

Even though the soul-splitter
wasn't actually designed

for the purpose of
soul untangling...

Oh, just tell me
that you can do it.

I can do it. Yes.

Where's the soul-splitter?
It's on its way.

Yeah, Carson and Ryan
are bringing it here.

And they totally know
how important this is.

Totally.
Totally.

Yeah!

Yes! I found a beetle.

Um, does it have to be beetles?
'Cause... all those legs.

Well, the potion
is very specific.

It causes your soul to more
easily separate from your body.

Now, you need to take this an
hour before we start the ritual.

When the device
starts working,

your soul and Odette's

will be stored
in this crystal here.

Then we will use
the soul-splitter

to separate the souls
in the crystal.

And then we'll only put
yours back into your body.

Ryan and Carson

should be here any minute
with the relic.

As long as we finish
this ritual by sundown,

all should be fine.

That is, if you're
still sure about this.
Bess, I'm a...

Oh, sorry, sorry. Yeah?

I am a 1,000% sure

that I want to live, okay?

For Nick, for my sisters,
but mostly for myself.

This could be my only chance.

You want me to trust you,
Woman in White?

I'm trusting you.

Let's do this.

Bottoms up.

Bottoms up.

So, tonight?

You know, what? Actually,
I'm unavailable tonight.

It involves this friend
of mine from France.

Oh, surprise houseguest?

I've been there.

Hey, you should
bring your friend.

I mean, you know,
unless it's an ex.

Oh.

Look, I'm really sorry
to cancel,

but we hadn't
quite made plans yet,

so, is it canceling, exactly?

Anyway, thank you
for understanding.

♪

Okay, where
is the soul-splitter?

It's been over an hour.

I thought you said the storage
unit was 15 minutes away.

Maybe there's traffic.

There's never traffic
in Horseshoe Bay.

Hi, Jesse. W...

He's doing what?

♪

Yeah!

♪ I want to take you down to.

What's up, party people?
Holy balls.

I have so many questions.

Is that the 302 or the 390?

I don't know.
I told you

to come straight home.

I told you
to come straight home!

Are you mocking me?

Are you mocking me?
I'm kidd...

Where's Mr. D?

Mr. D?. Why-why are you calling
Carson Mr. D?

I mean, what do you want
me to call you? Mister...

Mi... Wait.

What is your last name?

Where is the soul-splitter?

Hmm?
The thing that

I told you to get.

Oh, yeah! Yeah, right.

Carson totally has it.
Like, one hundo.

He took it with him
when I dropped him off.

Oh.

Oh!

My video's, like,
totally blowing up.

Check it out.

Oh, no.

What the hell
happened to them?

♪

Go, go!

Oh, yeah, that's cool.

Yeah!

Oh.

Does that say
"Juvenescence Elixir"?

"Gives users

"reduced inhibition of youth.

Effects wane before
the next sunrise."

Ah. Huh.

Oh, my God,
my dads are teenagers.

Don't worry.
I speak the language.

So, dude, where's my Carson?

I dropped him off
at a girl's house.

Totally smokeshow, by the way.

And what was her name?

Uh, it was, uh,
uh, Jenny...

No, Jan... uh, Janine.
Oh, my God.

Jean?
Yes.

That's it. Smokeshow Jean.

Okay, so you're telling me that
my-my father has been reverted

to an inhibition-free teenager,

and you just dropped him off at
the district attorney's house?

Yeah.

But don't worry. I totally gave
him pointers.

All good.

So, there's a few different ways

to figure out how old
something like this is.

Uh, the-the shape and the type
of metal they use.

And also, these initials.
See that?

"B.D."

That is the metalsmith's stamp.

So did you want to be
a metalsmith when you grew up?

No, he wanted to play football.
Remember how good he is?

Yeah. How good were you?

I led our high school team
in rushing my sophomore year.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I made All-State in Florida.

Wow. Did you play
in college, too?

No. No.
I didn't go to college.

Why not?

Um...

Well...

after my sophomore year,

I was involved in an incident.

And...

I got arrested.

I was in

a correctional facility,
and I finished

my G.E.D.

But I did not go to college.

Hey, guys,

um, super nacho crackers

versus pizza-flavored crackers?

I'm gonna need volunteers
for a taste test.

Who's in?
Yeah.

Carson.

Look, I, uh... I understand
that you have a job to do,

but I... I do, too, and...

Oh, actually,
no, no, no, no.

That's not actually
why I'm here.

Then why are you here?
Uh...

you smell really good.

Okay.
Uh, wait. Oh,
no, no, no, no.

I... I'm here

because...

I'm here because I want
to say something to you.

Something that I... I should
have told you, like,

a long time ago, but every time
I'm-I'm around you,

my heart races,
because I'm-I'm wondering

what it might be like to...

What?

Dad!

Oh, man.

Dad?

My dad is not
feeling well today.

So... So, you have
a lovely home. See ya.

She was about to say something.

Well, we're not gonna stick
around to find out what it was.

So, dude, did you tell her?

I got so close.

Oh, man. Next time, bro.
Next time.

I understand that you guys
are not yourselves right now,

but I really need
the soul-splitter

and then we can have, like,
the most raddest day ever, okay?

Okay. Ry-guy's got it.

What?
No. No, you got it.

Uh-uh. You had it last.

What?
Oy vey.

I think that mystical beetle
smoothie is hitting me.

Okay, yup, yup. That's
great. Not to worry.

A slight hiccup
with the soul-splitter,

but Nancy knows
that time is of the essence,

and any delay can cause
side effects to your brain

and your immortal soul, and...

Oh, my God! George!

Oh, my God. George?
Wake up.

Tell me everywhere
you've been today.

Well...Okay.

Yeah, uh, first

we went to this
rad guitar shop,

I got a guitar.
We're starting a band.

Okay, so we got
to go the music shop.

Yeah, right, cool.

And after that, we'll
go ride some dirt bikes.

N-No, I don't think so.

Why, come on,
my family's got

this awesome big barn
with all these toys

in it we can totally ride.
Ry-guy took me by there

for a little while, showed me
All right, listen...

the most amazing motocross...
Listen...

Listen!

It's very important
that we find the soul-splitter.

Okay? I'm talking

life or death stakes.

Okay, so...

that's a yes on the dirt bikes?

Just got to retrace
their steps.

Hey, bingo!

That's my man.
That's a good idea.

What happens if we don't find
the soul-splitter in time?

Your soul would
become detached.

Outside your body.

Like Odette's, before
she entwined with you.

Like an astronaut

on a spacewalk, but
without the cable thing.

But your body
will still be alive.

Untethered astronaut.

Got it.

Hey, should we call Nick?
No.

I don't want him
to see me like this.

I don't want to get his hopes up
until we know what's going on.

So we'll just call him
when we have an actual update.

George, can you hear me?

Either of you?

Mon chéri...

Odette?

You're still here.

Did Nancy text back?

No, no text yet.

We're sorry we lost it.

Yeah, Nancy, we're sorry.

Sorry.

B.D.

Look!

Oh, my God.

Yes.

That's it, so...

now that we found
that thing you wanted...

it's dirt bike time, right?

Think the answer's
still no.

Okay, I'm gonna bring
the soul-splitter

to George and Bess, you just...

make sure
that they don't die, please.

Cool. I'll just...

No! Okay.

Very funny.
Get out of the car.

No, come on in.

Yeah, come on.

Hey, aren't you coming?
Say "Ace."

Come on, let's go.
Ha, ha, ha. Yep, yep...

Say cheese. Bye!
This is fun...

Don't toy with Florence, hey.
Hey. Hey. Wow.

Mr. D.

You're supposed to be
at the court in 30 minutes

for an ex parte hearing
with the judge.
What?

Can I maybe skip that?
No.

If the cops find out
that you took the soul-splitter

from the storage unit,
you'll get disbarred.

Do I need to speak
to this judge?

Because public speaking
kind of...

is terrifying.

Hey, Nick, they're working
on a reenactment

of Cameron's favorite anime arc.

They need an ocean
and a pirate ship.

You don't run
out of energy, do you?

I like stretching
their minds.

You know, I wish
we had a place like this

when I was growing up.

It might've saved a few lives.

Oh, wow, that's high praise.

Yeah, well, this...

this place shows kids
what's possible.

And when you grow up
on a reservation,

you don't always
see options for the future.

Some kids lose hope.

My cousin did, you know,
that's why he took his own life.

Oh. I'm...

I'm sorry.

I mean, that had to be traumatic.
And, look,

I'm sure what you
went through was no picnic.

But you learned
to process it, right?

For me, it was a walkabout--
you know, no phone, no Internet.

Just six months
on the Appalachian Trail

and I just really
got my head right.

Wow.

What'd your walkabout
look like?

Uh...

um, well, um...

I came to Horseshoe Bay

to say thank you
to my social worker,

who happened to be Nancy's
mom, and it turned out

that, um...

she'd passed.
Oh.

And I, um, tried to reconnect
with an old friend

that helped me,
but she also died.

Uh, I dated Nancy
for a while,

but then we
broke up and...

I bought the Claw and I got into
a relationship with George,

and then I bought
a couple more buildings,

and then I started
this youth center and...

That is ten

different journeys.

Which one do you think
helped you process your trauma?

I'm not sure.

You know, you just, um...

you just...

wake up one day and it's like,

okay.

This is my life.

It worked out, right?

Addy. We need the pirate ship.

Coming up!

I'll take those.
There you go.

Thank you.

All right,
who ordered a pirate ship?

I got it!
Oh, my God, okay!

Okay, thank you.

Oh, God.

Hey.
I'm ready.

Let's do this.

Okay.

Sentinels of the world
beyond, grant us

passage to the realm of souls.

Where there was one,
now two reside.

I offer myself
as conduit

for your power,
that I might

withdraw the entangled souls
and return them

to their rightful place.

Does that mean it's working?

That's the first step.

Now both George's
and Odette's souls are out.

How do we know that...
th-that's George's soul?

Or Odette's?
The book says that

the brightest light will be
the-the soul

that belongs to the body.

The softer, fainter
light will be

the unwanted inhabiter.

Odette's soul.

Hey, we got to keep going.

What's next?

Okay.

Um, now we need to, uh, split

the crystal at the mid-point,
and separate the souls.

We'll put George's back
into her body while Odette's

will remain in her
half of the crystal.
Okay.

Okay.

Now to return George's soul
back into her body.

Soul once lost
has now been found,

no longer tangled
in the web of the void.

We now return you, soul,

to your rightful place.

George!

Was that...

What?

Why is the light
back in the crystal?
I-I don't know. It...

it's not working. No.

Hey, it's George.
Leave a short message.

Hey, uh, so, I sent

pics of the lock Nancy was
asking about to the group.

I'm just checking
that you got them.

And, um...

I just wanted
to hear your voice.

But we can talk later.

Are you sure
that you did it right?

No. Obviously,
I'm not sure.

I've never actually done
a soul exorcism before.

Besides, the ritual was meant

for the original type
of soul-splitter,

not Beckett Dow's
specialty version.

Did you say Beckett Dow?
Yeah, he's the metalsmith

that made this device
in the Civil War.

His initials are
on the soul-splitter.

B.D.-- Beckett Dow.

Oh, my God, yeah.

He-he must've been the locksmith

that made the lock
for the underground cage.

There were some things down in
the cage I didn't get a chance

to look through, so maybe
there's something about Great.

the soul-splitter in there?
Yeah, yeah.

It's choking me.

It's not choking you.
You just don't like it.

I had to wear one
for my Bar Mitzvah.

I hated it, too,
but you look great.

You don't need a tie, bro.
You definitely need a tie.

You need to convince
this judge to delay

the storage locker search
until tomorrow.

We'll put the soul-splitter
back later tonight.

Okay.
Mr. Drew, we're waiting.

Okay, let's go, let's go.

Come on, come on.

Here.

Now, put this in here.

Leave that on.
Okay.

Shoulders back,
chin up, enunciate.

All right, Counselor.
You're seeking

an injunction of the
evidence collection?

Where's Jean?

I mean,
D.A. Rosario.

Where's...
Wasn't she supposed to be here?

Mr. Drew,
A.D.A. Francouer

is perfectly capable
of representing

the D.A.'s office
at this hearing.

Your Honor, speaking for the
D.A.'s office, we will obviously

provide Mr. Drew with
any and all evidence

pertaining to his client.
Well...

Uh...Yes, Mr. Drew?

Well, the...
the thing is,

my client-- Asher...

Let's begin again, please.

Coherently this time.

Damn. I should've given
him pointers on this, too.

♪

Oh...

God, no cell service
in this cell.

Oh.

Nancy?

Bess?

Oh, God, I can barely hear you.

Yeah, there's not a lot
of signal in the tunnels.

Listen, I found
a set of notes in the cage.

Beckett Dow's soul-splitter
was designed

to split one soul
into multiple pieces.

It was not designed
to disentangle

two souls from each other.

Okay, so how do we fix this?

Well, in order
to complete the ritual,

only George's soul
can be present.

That means we need to destroy
the other crystal.

Wait, hold on, hold on.
Destroy?

No, no, no, Odette is in here.

Maybe "destroy" meant
something else back then?

"Destroy" means "destroy."

This is the only way
to get George's soul

back into her body.

No, no, listen, it can't be

the only way.

What if-what if we keep them
both here?

George gets her body back,
and Odette finds a new one.

Odette finds a new body?

Has that been your plan
this entire time?

My plan? No.
It was not my plan, it just...

It's just after talking
to Father Shane, it was an idea

that became
a hope that became...

Odette is dead, Bess.

She's been dead
for a long time.

And it may not be fair,

but she should have
moved on to peace.

And it's my fault she hasn't.

And it's my fault that we're
in this mess to begin with.

So we have to finish the ritual
and save George.

Bess?

Damn it.

Your Honor,
if Mr. Drew cannot produce

a single piece of documentation,
then how does he expect you

to consider his request?

Dude, Carson is
tanking in there.

Maybe he can
pull it together.

The elixir's got
to wear off soon, right?

You feeling any different?

Hey, Ryan.

Hey! Wait!

Excuse me,
you can't go in there.
Uh, pardon me, Your Honor,

I'm Ryan Hudson.

I got this.
You're in the wrong place.

Lawyer guy,
I wasn't talking to you.

And I'm exactly
where I'm supposed to be.

Hi.

Oh, sorry.

Mr. Hudson,
this is a closed session.

Unless you have business
in this chamber...

I do, actually,
because one of the items

in the storage unit
belongs to the Hudson family.

To be clear, you are also
involved in this dispute?

Yep. I mean, correct...

a-amundo, as-as they say
in the original Latin.

Counselor,
were you aware of this?

Not until just now.
That is also correct...

a-amundo.Mr. Drew, it appears
you're acting

as Mr. Hudson's attorney

in addition
to your client Mr. Davies?

Right.
If this client

also has standing in the case,

then you realize I cannot
hold this hearing today.

This is a time-sensitive matter.

It's a storage unit.
It's not going anywhere.

Mr. Hudson needs
to file paperwork

and cite his interest
before we can proceed.

Adjourned.

Hey, G.G.,
Mr. Boring Lawyer Man.

That was awesome.

You found me.

Where are you and Odette headed?

You must think
I'm a terrible friend.

No. Anything but.

It's just that when you said
I had to destroy Odette,

I... I panicked.

You know, I didn't
think I was gonna have

to say goodbye today.
I know.

I'm sorry I pushed you earlier.

I was so worried
about saving George,

I didn't stop to think
what Odette means to you.

So what now?

I don't know.

I'm lost.

I'm so lost.

And I'm a...

coward.
I disagree.

I mean, forming
deep attachments

takes a lot of courage.

Yeah, I am, I'm attached.

I admit it.

'Cause even when Odette was deep
inside George's subconscious,

I knew she was...
still there, somehow.

Could there not be a way

to keep Odette with
me, so that maybe

one day, she could live the
life that she was meant to?

A-A life that we could
live together?

You don't want to say goodbye.

No.I get it.

After my mom died...

...there were moments where I
could've sworn she was visiting.

You know, she was leaving me
little signs.

At least, that's how I took it.

You know, my favorite movie
would come on TV

or some song would play
on the radio

or someone I cared about

would call me out of the blue.

And I liked to think that...

that she was trying
to tell me that it was okay

for me to feel happiness again.

It's different.

Is it? 'Cause Odette

wants you to be happy.

And she wants
George to live a full life.

And none of that can happen

if you don't help Odette

move on to peace.

How do we know that peace
is where they're going?

Do you ever have doubts?

No.

After everything
that I have seen...

...I don't doubt anymore.

I just always feel

like I'm saying goodbye.

Goodbye doesn't mean
you're gonna be alone.

George?

Oh, my God, George!
Oh, my God.

How are you feeling?

Like myself again.

Hey, thank you.

♪ In the end

♪ Who will fall?

Hey Mom, it's me. Finished
the kugel, it was really good.

Perfect noodle to raisin ratio.
Also, I just

wanted to say sorry
that my choices have been...

questionable lately.

And also sorry for all the times
that I missed curfew,

and I... I didn't listen, and...

also sorry for the time
that I lost the car keys

in the supermarket parking lot.

Okay, uh, I love you.
I'll see you Friday.

If you're looking for more
whipped cream, the answer's no.

That was the last can.
Oh, no, no, God, no.

I don't want
any more of that stuff.

I don't know what came over me.

You don't crave whipped cream?

No.

Mr. D, you're back!
Hey, guys,

guys, guys, please,
can you stop talking?

My head is killing...

Ow! Why do I feel like...

I have whiplash.

Do you guys remember anything?

Oh, no. Jean.

Okay, it's gonna be okay.

The way I see it,
you got two options.

You can pretend
like it never happened.

You can hope that she

never mentions it.

Or you can own it,

and, uh...Yeah, no.

I got to go see her.
I got to go.

Um, can you, uh...

can you get
Ryan home?

Yeah, no problem.

I promise your story
will not be forgotten.

The world will know

about the life
of Odette Lamar.

Nancy says this is where
the lilacs bloom in the spring.

Your favorite.

You okay?

No.

I completely
lost it back there.

I don't know
what I was thinking,

running away like that.

George is gonna kill me

when she finds out
what I did.

I think that the only thing
George needs to know...

...is that you
saved her life.

Yeah?

Okay.

I'll, uh, I'll
be right back.

That's probably just
our phantom knocker again.

Odette, please, give me a sign.

Let me know you made it
to peace.

Let me know I did
the right thing.

Hey.

Hey!

What are you doing here?

I was just dropping off
Mr. Drew's jacket.

He left it at the Youth Center.

I didn't know you were here.
Yeah.

Here I am.
Uh,

I'm just gonna
give you two a minute.

Thanks.

Thanks, Odette.

What?

Look, I'm...

I'm really sorry
about earlier today.

I... I fully intended
to take you on a second date.

But then your ex
came back into town and...

Look, I get it, okay?

No.

No, you don't.

There was someone,
but we've both moved on.

So I'm asking you now

if I can take
you to dinner.

A proper date.

A meal, with conversation.

And perhaps dessert.

Just take things slow.

Actual conversation.

And I get
to pick the restaurant.

Okay? Nothing fancy.

I'm in.

Hi.

Hi.

Looks like
you're feeling better.

I am. Much better,

actually.
Good.

I want to apologize for
coming by like that earlier.

I wasn't myself.

Or, at least...

not my best self.

Apology accepted.

It seemed like you had
something pretty important

to tell me.

Actually, I did.

The truth is...

I like you, Jean.

I think you're
incredible and smart

and... beautiful.

And being around you,

frankly, makes me feel like
I'm a kid again.

Oh.
But if you don't

feel the same way,

then that will
not at all...

impact our working
relationship.

Your professional and
your personal integrity

has always been
above reproach,

and mine will be, too.

What you, uh,
just said

now, and-and...

what you said earlier...

It's really refreshing to
have a grown man be so honest

about how he feels.

You-you were being honest,

just to clarify?
I was.

And... and... I am.

Well, then based
on what you said earlier,

uh, that would mean that
right now your heart is racing?

Yes. That's correct.

And therefore isn't it true

that there was something

you were wondering about?

Also correct.

Is it possible
you were wondering

what this would be like?

♪

I'm not sure

what the return policy is on
that thing, but we could try.

You know what?

I think I might keep it.

Yeah,
it sounds funny, but...

I always used
to tell Lucy that I wanted

to play guitar someday, but...

my parents wouldn't let me, so,

I guess now's my chance.

Right on.

I don't know,
it's like,

spending time with Nancy...

rubs off on you.

She's so passionate
about everything.

Makes you want to be
a better person, I guess.

You know what I mean?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

George.
Well, don't you look different.

Very refreshed.
Like I could live forever.

Welcome back.

Aw!

Here, sit.

Bess...

I know you had
to let go of Odette.

I'm really, really sorry.

It's okay.

She... she's at peace now.

And, hey, you're okay.

So that's all
that matters.

Thank you.

Hey, here's a question.

What are you gonna do
with the rest of your life?

The rest of my life.

I-I don't know.

I-I don't know.
Everything?

It's just the only thing
I can think about right now

is how I can't wait
to tell Nick.

Well, Ace is on his way
to pick him up now.

Which means he will
be here any minute.

I tried calling him earlier,
but I got his voice mail, so...

I don't know.
Let me try him again.

Hey, George.

Ace? Why are you
answering Nick's phone?

Are you guys on the way?
Put him on.

I can't.

Just got to his place.

His phone's here,
but I didn't see

his truck outside.
There's no note,

no nothing.

Nick's gone.
