00:00To be continued
00:30To go through customs at the airport
00:31Please don't send me back to the airport
00:32Please, I really haven't slept in like three days
00:36You're lucky this time
00:40Thank you
00:41We could rollerblade to Hamlin's Point and drink a bottle of champagne
00:52I don't think so
00:54Okay, we'll go to Fat Wu and have a big feed of dim sum
00:57No
00:58Laser quest
01:00Humphrey Bogart
01:01We could rent that one where he wakes up with a new face
01:04Not working
01:08What's the problem? You're only turning 21?
01:11It's not that
01:12I just, I can't help thinking about what I was doing this time last year
01:15Ah, a Ned moment
01:18Surprise, surprise
01:19Did he call?
01:23Not yet
01:24Telegram?
01:25No
01:26He's the only intern based at this food distribution center in the middle of the desert
01:30Two hours by Jeep to the nearest phone
01:33What did you guys do on your birthday last year?
01:35We went to the park, drank about 27 cups of espresso and talked about how we needed more space
01:41Oh, been there, done that
01:43Remember Todd the God?
01:45Todd the God was different. He had major structural problems
01:48Such as dullness
01:49Guys
01:50I really appreciate you taking me out, but I'd rather spend the night alone
01:55Don't take it personally
01:56Oh, we take it very personally
01:58And that's why we're here
02:00Come on, Nance
02:00We'll go back to your place, freshen up, and then we'll take you somewhere else
02:04I don't want to go somewhere else
02:05We know that
02:06We'll take you home
02:07And freshen up
02:08Mm-hmm
02:09Oh
02:38Oh
03:38Wait, it's not me, man. It's him. Look, look who's running.
04:08Oh, I'm very sorry.
04:16It's all right. Don't worry about it.
04:19I'll call the police.
04:21No, no, forget it. I'd rather have some ice. I think my nose is broken.
04:23I was headed for 306 March Avenue when they jumped me.
04:36That's here.
04:37Okay. Okay, great. So you must know where I can find Nancy Drew.
04:41Miss Drew. Someone here to see you.
04:48Ned? What are you...
04:51Same old Nance. Always had to get stuff sorted out.
05:00Somebody jumped him in the alley.
05:02If your friend hadn't been wearing a knapsack, he'd be on his way to the hospital. Or worse.
05:06What did he look like?
05:07I don't know. It happened way too fast.
05:15Maybe we should take our friend Ned upstairs so he can, you know, clean up.
05:19I think you should stay here until the police arrive.
05:22Seymour's right.
05:23Bess, will you stay with Ned?
05:25Seymour, George, do you mind coming with me?
05:27I'll be right back.
05:36Same old, same old.
05:41Yep, you're so certain. Come back to me now.
05:46This is where the fight took place?
05:49George, can you check down the alley?
05:51Okay.
05:51N-B-O. That's the airport code for Nairobi.
06:02Then he went this way?
06:07I checked all the way to the end. Nada.
06:09Did you check these puddles?
06:10I can't believe it. I forgot to check the puddles.
06:15I don't know what came over me.
06:18You know, I don't know how well you know this person, but this is routine.
06:24Ha. Seek and ye shall find.
06:30Still works. Can't have been here for long.
06:32Oh, I just love it when she uses her magnifying glass.
06:38J. O. Junior.
06:42Who's J. O. Junior?
06:47Nance, your boyfriend has flown in all the way from Africa.
06:51Don't you think that maybe you should spend a few minutes with him?
06:54Yeah, you're right.
06:57There's nothing else to find here.
07:02Are you sure you guys don't need any help with that?
07:07No. No, no. We're fine.
07:09We're fine.
07:13I need a rest.
07:14No, please.
07:15Oh, no.
07:16No, look what you've done.
07:20I hope this isn't Nance's idea of a birthday yet.
07:25Oh, boy. We broke it.
07:28What are we going to tell him?
07:29Nothing.
07:30Best. We can't leave it like that.
07:31Well, um, okay, okay.
07:34We'll take it home and fix it.
07:36What's taking so long?
07:38Nothing. Nothing.
07:39Uh, just, uh, admiring the carpet.
07:49Aren't you going to come in?
07:51Uh, I think it's time we just kind of left.
07:54I'm sure you two would like some privacy.
07:57And, well, Ned's not looking...
07:58Yeah, exactly.
07:59Thanks a lot.
08:02Okay. Bye.
08:04Bye.
08:05Bye.
08:07Ooh!
08:11Welcome home.
08:13Oh, I'm sorry. It still hurts.
08:15I can't believe the police didn't even bother to show up.
08:20Don't worry about it, Nancy.
08:21It's life in the big city.
08:24I'm going to find the guy who hurt you.
08:26I don't care.
08:27I don't.
08:27It happened.
08:29Things don't just happen.
08:30Listen.
08:31Listen.
08:31If he'd nailed me with a knife,
08:32it would have been a different story.
08:34But he practically just cut my backpack in two, okay?
08:36Which reminds me.
08:38I, uh...
08:39I brought you a gift.
08:41All the way back from the murky depths of Nairobi Bazaar.
08:50Okay.
08:53It's right on top here.
08:59It's, uh...
09:00It's gone.
09:01It must have fallen out on the way up the stairs.
09:07Don't worry about it.
09:08We'll look for it later.
09:11I'm so tired.
09:14You know, maybe that guy didn't mean to stab you.
09:18Maybe he was looking for something else.
09:20Like what?
09:21What, Nancy?
09:22Like my dirty laundry?
09:23Some trinkets from a bazaar?
09:30Ned?
09:31I slept for 18 hours.
09:34You should have woken me up.
09:38You're exhausted.
09:39Besides.
09:41I missed hearing you snore.
09:45Nah, I missed you too.
09:52Sorry I didn't write more.
09:54Nah, that's okay.
09:55I mean, you're the one that wanted more space.
09:57There's as much space as I need.
09:59Why are we looking in this window?
10:06Because I think we're being followed.
10:07What?
10:08Look.
10:12Just, uh, pretend that you're picking out a dress.
10:15All right.
10:16Okay.
10:17Um, I like that one.
10:18Are you absolutely sure?
10:22I don't know.
10:23He's not moving.
10:24Um, just keep walking.
10:25Yeah, he's behind us.
10:39You know, I think that's the guy that attacked me yesterday.
10:44Nancy, we should find a cop.
10:45No, no, no, no, there's no time.
10:46We've got to go for the jugular.
10:47You keep walking.
10:48I'm going to bring him towards you.
10:50Yeah, then what?
10:50Hey, uh, buddy, you got a light?
11:08Excuse me?
11:10Are you following me?
11:11No.
11:12Hey, give me that!
11:13Are you all right?
11:32Fine, I'm fine.
11:33Where's our friend?
11:34Gone.
11:37You were supposed to stop him.
11:39I really didn't know he was going to run right over my face.
11:45You dropped this.
11:46Oh.
11:48It's 20 cents.
11:49It's a cigarette from Zimbabwe.
11:52That's too big a coincidence.
11:59Nancy.
12:03Okay.
12:04You fly from Nairobi.
12:05You're attacked by a man who smokes Zimbabwean cigarettes.
12:07Cigarettes.
12:08Someone who wants something that you have.
12:10Or they think that you're someone else.
12:12You said you have to want someone else's ticket.
12:14Whose?
12:14It was Olmsted from the embassy in Nairobi.
12:16He was supposed to be coming home and leave,
12:18but he couldn't go at the last minute.
12:20Who's this Olmsted?
12:21He's the budget chief of the region,
12:22but I've only met him once or twice at the embassy poker game.
12:24Huh?
12:25They have poker games at the embassy?
12:26Yeah, every Tuesday.
12:28Jack Olmsted loves to gamble.
12:29Nancy, can you tell me what this has to do with anything, please?
12:32It makes perfect sense.
12:33You fly on someone else's ticket.
12:36The man who beat you...
12:37Hey, look, I don't care about the guy that beat me up, all right?
12:40These things happen.
12:43Is there something else that you want to be doing?
12:46I mean, this is me being me, Ned.
12:51What do you want?
12:53I don't know what I want, okay?
12:55But I know I don't want to argue.
12:57Neither do I.
12:58You know, the famine relief program looks fantastic.
13:13Nancy, we really can make a difference,
13:15and realizing that has changed me a lot.
13:17How?
13:21Just, things matter to me more now.
13:28I think you matter more.
13:33Nancy, I'm not here until tomorrow.
13:34Uh, I've done a lot of thinking and there's some stuff I wanted to say.
13:48I better get that.
13:53Happy birthday!
13:54Is he here?
13:56Yeah.
13:57And are you still a happening couple?
13:59We were out looking at wedding dresses.
14:01You were?
14:02Great.
14:02Huh?
14:03I'm kidding.
14:05Come in.
14:06Oh, guys, when you carried Ned's knapsack,
14:10you didn't happen to notice a leather case, did you?
14:13Did you happen to notice a leather case?
14:15I did, actually.
14:17It was in the lobby behind the sofa.
14:18Oh, it must have fallen out of Ned's knapsack.
14:21I've got it right here, actually.
14:24Here it is.
14:25Oh, thanks.
14:26Happy birthday.
14:31It's lovely.
14:33What's it for?
14:34Well, um...
14:37It's, uh...
14:41It's a fetish box.
14:45You put, uh, power objects into the compartments,
14:49and then you put, uh, the box into the leather case
14:53and wait for the magic.
14:54What sort of power objects?
14:56Uh, a lock on my hair might get things started.
15:00I see.
15:02These look like tribal markings.
15:07Where did you say you got this again?
15:09I told you, at, uh...
15:11It's some bazaar.
15:14What?
15:15We should go.
15:16We should.
15:17We should.
15:19Good night.
15:20What are you doing later, Nance?
15:21I don't know yet.
15:22No, we'll give you coffee.
15:23Oh, yeah.
15:26Okay.
15:28You can admit it.
15:29You hate the box.
15:30No.
15:31No.
15:32I don't hate the box.
15:33It's a good clue.
15:36Nancy, it's a gift.
15:37You know?
15:38Like a birthday present.
15:41Thank you for the present.
15:42And the clue.
15:43And the clue.
15:47But, uh...
15:48Run this by me again.
15:53Where did you get it?
15:55Okay.
15:55Um, we were wandering around, uh, some bazaar in Olmstead told some shopkeeper that I was
16:00going home to visit my girlfriend.
16:03It was his description, not mine.
16:04And, uh, he gave me this, uh, this box to give to you for your birthday.
16:09That's it, then.
16:11What?
16:12It's a setup.
16:13You were the courier.
16:14There's something in this box.
16:16Nancy, look.
16:17Look.
16:17Take a look.
16:18The box is empty.
16:19Okay?
16:20Maybe not.
16:21It's great.
16:35It's looking more like a clue every minute.
16:39Is this mahogany or... or paddock?
16:42You never stop, do you, Nancy?
16:44You know, I'm thinking we're just too different.
16:47I don't know.
16:48I mean, I thought I knew.
16:53But seeing you again has changed everything.
17:01Look.
17:02Uh, they're diamonds and emeralds.
17:18How's the drill?
17:22Oh.
17:24The drill, it's great.
17:26These just arrived for you.
17:27Oh, good.
17:28My photos.
17:29Thanks, Seymour.
17:30Thanks.
17:36Okay.
17:37Now, that's a tribal marking from the Nadinga region.
17:40Where's that?
17:41Um, smack dab in the middle of what Jack Olmstead used to call
17:44the Diamond Belt is in Bombway.
17:48Wait a minute.
17:50The cigarette.
17:53Jack Olmstead.
17:58J.O. Jr.
17:59Jack Olmstead Jr.
18:01It's a father-son operation.
18:02The two of them are smuggling gems.
18:05Whatever you're thinking, forget it, okay?
18:06It's over.
18:08We're calling the police.
18:09So.
18:16So.
18:17I, uh, I guess this is it.
18:20I hope you're not so mad at me that I called the police.
18:23No.
18:24No, not at all.
18:25I just wish we had more time to spend together.
18:31Nickerson!
18:36Oh, hold on.
18:39Take care of yourself, okay?
18:40Take care of yourself, okay?
19:09Take care of yourself, okay?
19:12Bye.
19:20Bye.
19:23Bye.
19:31Bye.
19:32Bye.
19:34Bye.
19:34Bye.
19:35Bye.
19:36Bye.
19:38Bye.
19:39Give me the box.
20:05Have you ever heard of the word please?
20:07What took you so long?
20:09The bus driver didn't want to stop.
20:17That is for the headbutt in the nose, buddy.
20:26You all right?
20:27Yeah.
20:28Yeah?
20:29Okay.
20:30That wasn't so hard now, was it?
20:35No, not at all.
20:36So what do you want to do for the rest of your birthday?
20:38I'm sure we can think of something.
20:42Yeah.
20:43Yeah.
20:44Yeah.
20:46Yeah.
20:48Yeah.
20:50Yeah.
20:52Yeah.
20:53Yeah.
20:54Yeah.
20:55Yeah.
20:56Yeah.
20:58Yeah.
21:00Yeah.
21:01Yeah.
21:02Yeah.
21:06Yeah.
21:08Yeah.
21:09Yeah.
