All language subtitles for Nancy.Drew.2019.S01E08.1080p.WEB.H264-METCON

Previously on Nancy Drew...Turns out the Hudsons did pay

someone a large sum of money
two days after Lucy was killed.

It was Carson Drew.

I guess
I've just been on my own

for so long, I've never
let myself

get close to someone like that.

Since Lucy communicates
through electronics,

we can have her answer questions
through the dragon.

Green for yes,
the mouth red for no.

Are you haunting me because
of what I found in the attic?

I think you're working
for McGinnis.

McGinnis caught me hacking into
a government computer system.

It's a federal offense.

How am I supposed
to trust anything you say?

I'm gonna fix this.

Laura may have killed Tiffany.

I didn't want to drive
down the coast alone.

Gives us time to talk, too.

Yeah.

Oh, my God. Ace.

Everything seems to move
in slow-motion in an accident.

The worst part

is when you can see
the collision coming

and you just can't do
anything to stop it.

Did you kill Lucy Sable?

Did I...

Did I kill Lucy Sable?

I have evidence.You have evidence?

Hadevidence
an unidentified female hair

found in Lucy's broken crown

from the night she died.
That crown

disappeared from the lab
where it was being processed,

in Boston.

But you already knew that.

So you can stop acting offended.

You're trying
to figure out how I know?

The GPS on your phone.

That's the part
you forgot to cover up.

Cover up? I didn't...That was

Lucy Sable's bloody dress in
the attic that you lied about.

Nancy...Lucy knew Hudson family
secrets in the past.

Tiffany knew Hudson family
secrets in the present.

Both of them are dead.

And both times,
the Hudsons called in

their favorite lawyer
to come and clean up the mess.

I didn't kill anyone!

Who do you think
you're talking to?

I'm not some kind of hit man.

I have reason to suspect you.

You suspect everyone
of everything.

You always have,
ever since you were a kid.

But if you keep suspecting
the people closest to you

of horrific crimes,
you're gonna end up alone.

Hey.

I tried calling.

George, this is not a good time.

There was an accident.
It was Ace.

Hey.

How are you?

Are there updates?
What's going on?

Laura Tandy's being prepped.

Uh, Ace is already in surgery.

Waiting rooms are
overflowing with family.

Cops. There's a lot of cops.

Ace's father was something
of a legend on the force.

I'm gonna go check in.

Nick was at the scene
of the accident.

He sent pictures.

Oh, my God.

Yeah If Laura
Tandy dies,

so does her claim
to Tiffany's estate.

Bet that would make
your bosses happy.

Did the Hudsons send you here?

She's here for me, for support.

And I'm sure her employers
are really hoping

everybody pulls through.

Okay, Drew...

No, it's okay.
Everybody's on edge.

Are those Ace's?

Yeah. Paramedics had to cut

his clothes off.

I didn't want his mom to see.

What are you doing?

Last time we talked, Ace and I
had a difficult conversation.

About what?

He felt like
he was letting us down.

He wanted to prove something.

Trying to figure out if Laura...

was connected
to Tiffany's death.

That's why he was with her.

Bess, can you
unlock this, please?

What makes you think
I know his passcode?

You two are that kind of close.

Last text was to you, Nancy.

"Send u what I find."

There's an audio recording,
time-stamped an hour ago.

That's about when
the crash happened.

I mean, you can't know

what goes on inside
someone else's family.

I'm just trying to get a sense
of you and your sister.Bess, I'm gonna go.

Okay.
Well,
how are you and your family...

Laura, slow down! My foot's not even

on the gas. No, I swear, look! Laura!

I-I'm not doing it! Slow down!

I can't control it! Hit the brakes!

I-I can't...

What the hell?
Who's in control of the car?

Somebody who wanted
Laura Tandy dead.

This was definitely
not an accident.

Your friend's brain readings
are concerning.

We're struggling to find
a medical explanation

for why he's in a coma.

Wait, what?Did you say coma?

Head injuries
are unpredictable.

We'll keep
monitoring him overnight.

I'll run some more
tests and some scans.

Hopefully he'll show some signs
of improvement...

Ace?

Chief?

You look like you saw a ghost.

That's a look I'm starting
to recognize around here.

What are you studying?

Oh. Um...

I'm just stress-shopping.

I bought some Rockstar jeans
to come overnight.

We've been here overnight.

Hey, then, where are my jeans?

Hey. Any change?

They rushed Laura into surgery.

She has a ruptured kidney.

Ace's brain readings
are still abnormal.

Are you at work?

You could take a day off,
you know.

It's not like you need
the money anymore.

Yeah. Work keeps my mind
off other things.

Point taken.

And you?

I-I, uh...

Uh, no, I mean, I mean, you guys
must be exhausted, right?

Um, I'm just tired
of waiting around.

Same.

George had to go home
to look after her sisters.

We've just been waiting here.

If Laura's car
wastampered with,

i-is there any chance

somebody could take
remote control of that vehicle?

Well, if you crack
the self-drive features, yeah.

But-but you'd have to patch
a receiver into the CPU.

Yeah, but who could've
done that?

You're gonna be the
first person they look at

because you serviced
her car yesterday.

Hey, all I did
was change the oil.

Anyone else could've
gotten access to it

while it was in your garage?

Uh, no, I-I...
I didn't see anyone.

A receiver could still
be attached to the car.

Think you could get back
into the police impound lot?

If you can be
on distraction detail.

Officer Rawley.

You're the person to speak
to about the car crash?

I am handing the investigation.

Okay, well,
I need to...

Hey, Chief. Got a minute?

No skid marks, no
signs of braking

or the car losing control.

That indicates that
it was intentional.

Yes.

Or the driver's intention
to crash her car.

You think she was suicidal?

Ace recorded his conversation

with Laura right before
the car crashed.

She did not sound suicidal
or like she was

in control of the car.

Ace was only there
'cause he was trying

to build a case against her.

He was working for you.

It was a favor.

Ace was arrested
out of state.

I made a deal
so he wouldn't go to jail.

As a favor to who?

I owed his dad.

But you-you care about Ace, too.

Chief, uh, you saw
something in the hospital.

I heard you say Ace's name.

People say a lot of things
when they're worried.

But you were talking
to an empty closet.

Do you believe
in the supernatural?

I didn't use to,
but I have seen some things

that have changed
my point of view.

So, if there's something
that you know...

I'm a police officer, Drew.

Of course. I just got hopeful.

I'd try anything
to help my friend.

Why am I going back in the cage?

Charlie and Jesse
got sleepovers

and Mom's on a booze cruise
with the harbormaster.

Ugh.

Anyways, it's not a cage.

You should still feel
guilty about ditching me.

Feeling less guilty now.

Okay, so,

I didn't find a remote device
attached to Laura's car.

But it could've
been removed

after the accident.

What we're looking at now

are the diagnostics I
took from Laura's CPU.

The computer inside her car.

And these were what we had
on file from her CPU yesterday.

We're looking for discrepancies?

Yeah.

Um, the oil change I did

should be reflected
in the service log.

But it's gone.

You know, someone
wiped the computer,

probably to bypass its security.

Time stamp
on the real records

prove that the car
was accessed

after Laura picked it up
from the garage?

That gets J. Dodd's Repair
Service off the hook.

So we're looking for someone
who also knows cars.

What?

Oh. No.

Come on. Of course Lisbeth
knows cars, she's a driver.

For the Hudsons.

And the Hudsons want Laura
out of the picture

so they can access
her sister's estate.

You think she'd kill for them?

No. I...
What the hell's
been going on in here?

Can you be more specific?

Someone in this town has been
tampering with the spirit world.

We could stand here
all day,

or one of you

can start talking.

Okay. Dead Lucy...

...was on Nancy's phone video.

We went to a medium to see what
she wanted, and then the medium

freaked and vanished.

Not like mystical vanished.
She just, like, skipped town.

Right. Then there was
this '70s throwback lady

who applied for a job
during the Nor'Easter storm.

She also might've been dead,
not sure.

But Tiffany Hudson's ghost

definitely attacked
me in a freezer

right before she
possessed George.

And there was
the antique coins

that opened the door
to a crowd full of spirits

during the séance.

Séance? Yeah. I conducted it

with a crash course
from Victoria.

My mom's a clairvoyant. It's why
she's a raging alcoholic.

What does this
have to do with Ace?

You all have been reckless.

This place is still cluttered
with spirits,

even worse than the hospital.

So you did see something
at the hospital? What was it?

I believe I saw Ace's spirit.

Ace is... dead?

He's not dead.

He's lost, scared.

The trauma of the crash,

it dislodged his soul
from his body.

Well, how do we get it back
into his body?

If Ace is lost
in the spirit world,

he's frozen in the moment
of his greatest fear.

What, the-the car wreck?

Then we'll have to go
after him ourselves.Yeah.

George has channeled
a spirit before and I've

made contact,
so is there a way together

that we can bring Ace back?

In a place that's not
so infested with dark spirits?

Nancy does have
this ghost world access on tap.

Where else have you been
in contact?

What'd she do now?

We're gonna
perform a ceremony

that'll hopefully
save Ace's life.

There's room for a fourth.
You want in?

You're always
telling me I should have

more friends over.

What exactly
are you doing?

Every culture has its own
on-ramp to the spirit world.

We're gonna use
McGinnis's.

Your home is in direct view
of Cadillac's Peak.

In my tribe,

places within sight of the ocean
and mountains are sacred.

Now, you'll be

calling in a lost soul,

and if we do
this properly,

we'll be transported
to the outermost layer

of the spirit realm. Layers?

Kind of like Dante?

Hey, I paid attention
in English class, okay?

Normally, the outer
layer of the spirit realm

is quiet, but now...

We clogged it
with dead souls

who came for the burial coins
during our séance.

There are many things
you and I need to discuss.

Yeah.

Can you fill this with water?

Sacred water?

Tap is just fine.

Oh.

Hey, sweetie.

I'm sure George
will be back soon.

Let me know if you
want more ice cream.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi.
The Hudson folks
got in this morning

on a seaplane
from Portland,

but no one from the family
was here yesterday,

which means Lisbeth

had no reason to be in town.

No. She said she was at work
when she called me yesterday.

Why would she lie?

That's up to you to find out.

Hey. Delivery guy
was out front.

Left a package for you.

My Old Navy Rockstar jeans.

You know what
you need to do?Put on my mission pants?

Hey.

No, no change.

Um, I really need to see you.

Okay, great.

Now, if we sit
with a shared vision,

one of us will enter
the spirit realm.

Just one?

How will we know?

You'll know.

I receive this pipe

as a gift from
my teacher.

Years ago, I carved
these figures from stone

to represent the animal beings.

There's an empty slot
in the case?

The bear. I gave that away
already... to Ace.

When he was
just a boy,

his father was in
a terrible accident, too.

And I told Ace that the bear
would keep him safe.

And his father
survived.

And if we're successful,
Ace will, too.

Please,

take an offering.

The wolf.

The whale.

A turtle. Cool.

Of course.
Of course it's me.

Ace?

Ace, come on out.

McGinnis brought
a pipe you'd like.

Ace?

Can you hear me?

Not Ace. Random ghosts.

These must be the ones
that came for the coins.

That's the part
you forgot to cover up.

Ace?

What do you see?

There are black clouds...
everywhere.

There could be residual
dark energy in this space,

unresolved emotions.

Has there been conflict here?

George, hold Ace in your mind.

Focus on where to find him,
the place of his fear,

the car crash. Stay calm.

Or else what?

Okay. I'm kind of
freaking out now.

You always have,
ever since you were a kid.

But if you keep
suspecting the people...Help.

Help me. Ace!

McGinnis?

Ace. Oh, my God, Ace?

I'll get you out of here.

It wasn't Ace.

He wasn't there.

All I see is darkness.

I have reason to suspect you.

...horrific crimes,
you're gonna end up alone.

It's coming from you two.

What?

I can feel it.

George can feel it.

She can't find her way because
of the conflict between you.

Nancy, can I talk to you
outside?

No!

You've broken the circle.

Can't you just keep going
without us?

No. We can't continue this until
both of you solve your issues.

What happens if we don't
complete the ceremony?

We don't just lose Ace.

George will never find
her way back.

Whatever's going on
between you two, settle it now.

Kicked out of mystical ceremony,
that's a first.

This is serious and it
would work a lot better

if you took it
seriously.

So, you heard him,
let's clear the air.

Since when do you believe
in the supernatural?

Since I started looking
into Lucy Sable's death.

And why are you doing that?

I have a theory about
what got her killed.

I think Lucy saw Celia Hudson
having an affair

with Sebastian Marvin.

How would you know about...

Lucy was murdered in 2000,

Sebastian was killed in a
shipwreck around the same time.

I believe the Hudsons
took them both out,

and my fear is that
you were a part of it.

I don't clean up the Hudsons'
dirty work.

That's not what I'm doing.But you did,

though, once.

The night Lucy Sable died, yes,

the Hudsons sent me
to look for her.

They had no idea
where she was.

I have no idea why they were
keeping tabs on her.

Maybe she did know something
that she shouldn't have.

There's no way
to be certain about that,

but what I can tell you is,
by the time I got to the bluffs,

Lucy was already gone,
over the edge.

You were at the bluffs
the night Lucy was murdered?

What did you do?

I panicked mainly.

My heart broke
for that poor girl.

Why didn't you tell me this?

Not because I killed her,
I can promise you that.

Nancy, if this is something
that you need to know about,

I can tell you
every detail,

but you have to choose
to believe me.

Okay.

As soon as we save Ace and
George, you tell me everything.

Is that
Lucy Sable's dress?

"Lucy Sable...

once was able
to look upon the sea."

It's everywhere, on the walls.

Like Lucy wrote it
a hundred times.

She must've tried so hard
before it finally worked.

Why is this house so important
to Lucy Sable?

Hey.
Hi.

Hey. Is everything okay?

No.

I think I'm
falling apart.

You know, I-I know

we just started dating.
I mean, are we even dating?

I don't know what we are, but...

Can I fall apart on you?

Easy on the ham, Bess. We're
trying to get a confession here.

Yeah, of course.

I wish you came straight to see
me when you got back to town.

I had some work to do.
I'm sorry.

What kind of work?

I was sent to pick up
some of Ryan Hudson's things,

stuff he needs at his
wellness retreat.

So you don't
just drive for them?

No, I do odds and ends.

Have they ever asked you
to hurt someone for them?

No. I no,
that's not who I am.

Well, who are you
exactly then?

Because you're not
who you claim to be.

What are
you talking about?

Well, you're
hiding something.

Your social media.
This post,

"dated" December of 2016,

features an Issey Miyake blouse
that wasn't available until

fall 2017, and
these shoes...

Why-why are we talking
about my clothes?

Because your online identity
is a, is a fabrication.

Everyone's is.No! You didn't exist before,
like, five years ago.

Hon, did you do
their dirty work?

Do your bosses know?
Did you hurt my friend?!

No, I didn't.Well, we'll see.

Because I'm gonna
ask the Hudsons. I

You know, I'm gonna
go straight to the cops.

No, no, no, no, no.
Don't.

Bess, please.

You can't. You can't.

You cannot speak to the Hudsons.

You cannot speak to the local
police because I am undercover.

I'm sorry,
you're what?

Bess, I'm state police.

I've been tasked with
investigating the Hudsons.

We think they have someone

in the local police force
on their payroll.

Focus on Ace.

Call in his spirit.

McGinnis?

You mean there's no way
to stop the bleeding?

You mean there's no way
to stop the bleeding?

Is she talking about Ace?

Tell Thom...

...we're here
for him.

Who's Thom?

It's Ace's father.
This is good.

I think George is seeing
a reflection of Ace's past,

a night in a hospital
waiting room. I was there.

In the spirit world?

No, in real life, 15 years ago.

The night Ace's father
almost died in the line of duty.

I was with Ace

in that waiting room
all night.

You said Ace would be frozen in
the moment of his greatest fear,

but what if that
wasn't his car crash?

It was the moment he thought
his father was going to die.

George.

We need to look for
a different version of Ace.

He was six years old that night
in the wintertime.

A high-speed chase
that nearly killed his father.

Happened on the ice
in a snowstorm.

Ace?

Ace?

Ace?

Are you lost?

I can take you home.

These boots don't belong.

I have bare feet.

Yeah. You do.

Don't forget the boots.

Hey, hey, hey.

Did it work?
Did you find Ace?

That's his bear.

He's with me.

He didn't wake up.

The doctor noticed a change
in his brain waves.

It was significant.

Just not quite a miracle.

But you made a
difference, right?

Ace's spirit is back
in his body.

But he has work to do
on his own now.

There was something else
I saw on that spirit walk.

I think Ace was trying
to give me a clue.

Nick and Bess have
been texting.

A lot of red siren emojis.

What's with the 911 texts?

"Don't trust the cops"?

Um...

we... have a source
that says

there's a dirty cop
in Horseshoe Bay.

You have a "source"?

There are reasons

we cannot reveal
the identity of...

You know her town car
is parked outside.

Oof, I do not know whom
you are referring to.

I don't expect you to
keep my cover.

Although I should have
gotten you to build my legend.

You're a cop.

Whoa.

Okay.

Well, you were right
to suspect her.

No one could
like Bess that much.

Well, that part is real.

Right?Yeah. Yes.

Yeah.
It was.

Past tense?

Well, there's no way
I can stay under now.

The Hudsons are already asking
questions about me seeing you.

And now that you all know...

We'll...

keep your secret.

You have a criminal record,
and she's got

an arraignment pending.
I'm not sure

I'd trust you guys
with a surprise party.

Oh, well, we also have the
Hudsons' secret books on a USB.

Does that
sweeten the deal?

I have access to HBPD
financial records.

We could always cross-reference
outgoing transfers

from Hudson family accounts with
deposits made by local police.

If there is a dirty cop
working for the Hudsons,

couldn't they have been the one

who put the receiver
on Laura's car?

The could have cleaned it up
at the scene.

Okay, um...

I think I know what boots
they were wearing.

I don't exactly know
how to explain it,

but I think it was
the last thing Ace saw.

Leather boots
with brass eyelets.

Worn by the person
that caused the accident.

Your shoe leather is
actual shoe leather?

Bess, if I come forward,
there's a chance

I could get pulled
from the field.

Let me do it.

I'm apprehensive.

Chief, look at those numbers.
There's clearly a long pattern

of payments between
the Hudson family

and the private accounts of...

What's your source?

It's confidential.

Chief.

Final report on the
Laura Tandy incident.

You found no foul play?

No, sir.

Huh.

The car's CPU was wiped.
You didn't find that suspicious?

I beg your pardon, that's...

You know, for a dirty cop,
you clean up too thoroughly.

You should have at least
made up some sort of mess

about the CPU being wiped.

Here, Chief, look at
the other printout.

The car's actual
maintenance records.

And then compare that

to the doctored version

that Officer Rawley
just handed you.

How do you explain this?

You can check his
personal accounts,

and that'll link him
right to the Hudsons.

What exactly are you
accusing me of?

Killer boots, by the way.

The Hudsons won't ask me
to defend a dirty cop.

It would confirm
Rawley worked for them.

They'll just claim the money
was a friendly loan,

and pay him for his silence.

So what do we do about them?

Wedo nothing.

Nothing?

So, what, we just hope that
Laura Tandy lives long enough

for them to take
another shot at her?

What if they find out
how we caught Rawley?

How did you catch him?

George...
brought something back.

I just don't want
any more people I care about

getting hurt.

Neither do I.

Okay... that night
on the bluffs.

I saw...

tire tracks in the dirt,

a piece of broken crown
on the rocks,

and Lucy's dress dangling
off that cliff face.

And you just took it.

Why? Why didn't you
turn it over to the cops?

I wanted to.

But if it was a Hudson...

I was scared of what
they'd do to us.

So Laura Tandy was not
the first person

the Hudsons drove into a ditch.

No.

And if they can do that
to a billionaire heiress,

imagine what they could have
done to your mom and me.

And you.

I had to protect us.

So you left town

and took a check
the Hudsons wrote you

for $50,000?

That money was for
services rendered

long before that night
on the cliff, and yes,

it helped us
get away from them.

It's why we stayed in Europe
for the first year of your life.

So now you know what happened.

If you need to go
report me, report me.

You've done all this
illegal stuff.

It's just so not how
I would handle things.

It's exactly how you
handle things.

I do not cover up for murderers.

But you do break the law.

You stole evidence
from the morgue,

and you sent it out of state
because you believed

that it was
the right thing to do.

I understand that... impulse.

It runs in the family, I guess.

And yes, I did take
your evidence

from John Sander's lab.

You were right about that.

But I did it to cover for you.

Hey!

What the hell?!
You broke up with Bess?

This will only take a minute,
Mrs. Hudson.

She's crying her eyes out.
She thought you were one of us.

Yeah, well, she thought wrong.

You know I already took down
one Hudson goon today.

Step away.
Or what?

You really don't know
who you're dealing with.

Don't test me again.

Oh, thank you.

Hopefully, that little
performance will ensure

Lisbeth's cover as
a loyal Hudson flunky.

Come on.

You know, I really don't think
they'd suspect her now.

She really played her part.

Yeah, she was very
convincing.

Whew.

Mom?

All right, shorty,

you've been
adequately good today,

so...

Ted?

Okay, not funny, Ted.

Where are you?

Ted!

Ted!

Ted!
