00:10It's a fiasco, just as I feared!
00:13Oh, I'm sick, sick, sick about the whole thing!
00:17Yes, your fears seem to have been quite visionary.
00:21I was in the museum when it happened.
00:30Have you spoken to the police?
00:33I told them everything I know.
00:35I mean, I coughed up my brains right there on the table.
00:39So, do you think this is linked to the thefts in Topeka and New Mexico?
00:44That awful red hand was left on Prudence Rutherford's jewelry box in Topeka
00:48and on the display case in the museum in New Mexico.
00:52What's the chance they're not connected?
00:57What's the name of the museum in New Mexico?
01:00The Chaco Canyon Cultural Center.
01:02They had a beautiful collection up there, worth a bundle, too.
01:06I appraised some pieces for them a few years back.
01:10Do you know Prudence Rutherford personally?
01:13Oh, we saw each other at functions now and then.
01:17Poor Prudence.
01:18She adored that necklace.
01:22Why do you think the thief is leaving this red handprint?
01:26To be a gruesome scoundrel.
01:31I need a photo of the Pakal carving.
01:33Do you have one?
01:35Joanna took the official print for her insurance claim,
01:38but I have a couple extras.
01:39Here you go.
01:40Keep up the good work.
02:10Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
02:15Do you know much about Maya glyphs?
02:18You've caught me there.
02:19I know Spanish, English, Portuguese,
02:22and several indigenous languages,
02:24including Aquiche and Nahuatl,
02:26but I have yet to learn the language of glyphs.
02:36Have you heard?
02:37Henrik van der Heun fell off the pyramid at the museum.
02:41He's in the hospital with a mysterious head injury.
02:44That is terrible news.
02:45I hope it's not too serious.
02:52Why did Mexico choose to lend the monolith to Beach Hill
02:56and not some other museum?
02:58Johanna Riggs outpaid everyone.
03:00I had no idea a small museum like Beach Hill
03:04could afford such an expensive arrangement.
03:15Do you consider Henrik a conquistador,
03:18along with Johanna Riggs and Sinclair?
03:20Henrik is a student of my culture and my heritage,
03:23not trying to buy and sell it.
03:25We don't agree on everything,
03:27especially not baseball,
03:28but I have nothing against him.
03:32Have you heard?
03:33The Bacall carving was stolen from the museum.
03:36Well, I heard the alarms going off,
03:38but it wasn't until Henrik called me
03:41that I heard the news.
03:45You don't sound very concerned about all of this.
03:48I was running late.
03:49I just figured somebody tripped a wire
03:52and I kept going.
04:01I'll need to alert the police
04:02so they can ask you some questions.
04:04I have diplomatic immunity,
04:06so I do not have to answer any questions,
04:08but I will because I have nothing to hide.
04:18Don't you care about the disappearance
04:20of such a rare Maya artifact?
04:22That artifact was lost to me
04:24as soon as it left Mexican soil.
04:26So my friend Pacal goes underground for a while
04:28until he is sold again.
04:30Suddenly, he turns up in Amsterdam or Hong Kong.
04:33Unless he is rightfully repatriated to Mexico,
04:36what's the difference?
04:39Do you know what Cinnabar is?
04:41The red powder that the Maya used?
04:44Sure, I know it.
04:45They use it at Beach Hill too, do they not?
04:51Cinnabar was used to make the red handprint
04:53that was left at the scene of the Pacal theft.
04:55What is your point?
04:57Joanna said the museum didn't have any,
05:00but the supplier said she ordered some last week.
05:03Have you called the police?
05:11I don't want to jump to conclusions.
05:14Of course.
05:15Sister Joanna couldn't possibly be a thief now, could she?
05:18I should get back to the museum.
05:22Goodbye.
05:24Goodbye.
06:30Well, look who it is.
06:37Ready to do some memory work, Henrik?
06:39I brought you a picture.
06:40This will help you to remember.
06:42That face.
06:43He's as familiar as my own feet.
06:47Do you know his name?
06:48Pakal.
06:49Nancy, this is the stolen carving, isn't it?
06:52And I'm the one who took it.
06:55I must have.
06:56But why?
06:57Oh, Pakal.
06:59What could I have meant by this?
07:06If you're remembering correctly, this is a serious crime, Henrik.
07:11You've got to tell me why you did it.
07:13I can't remember.
07:16Easy, Henrik.
07:17The answers are in your head.
07:19You just need to find them.
07:21It's still in the museum.
07:26Why would you break into the display case and steal the carving, only to leave it in the museum?
07:31To protect him.
07:33I had to protect him.
07:34Oh, Pakal.
07:36Something is going on at that museum.
07:38A devious plot.
07:39I was the only one who could stand in the way.
07:45What kind of plot?
07:47Forgive me, Nancy, but when I woke up in this hospital bed, I didn't even know my own name.
07:53Perhaps the only thing I can offer you is this key.
07:55It was found in one of my pockets when I was brought in.
08:04Maybe that key goes to the lock where you hid the Pakal.
08:07I haven't a clue.
08:08Take the key now, Nancy.
08:10Find out what it opens and return to me, please, with some answers.
08:16We'll get to the bottom of this, I promise.
08:18In the meantime, I'll sit with my friend, Pakal, and see if he will tell me anything new.
08:24You must keep this to yourself for now.
08:26It's your only hope of getting to the bottom of this.
08:32You rest up.
08:33I'll be back.
08:34Be careful.
09:03I'll be back.
09:11I'll be back.
09:34Hmm.
09:34Hmm.
09:35Looks like I need to find someone who speaks Nahuatl.
09:43I'll be back.
10:14You have voicemail. Press zero to retrieve messages. Press nine for an outside line.
10:22Nancy, it's Joanna. The police are done giving me the third degree, but now the board has suspended me.
10:30To make a long story short, I'm forbidden to set foot in the museum.
10:35Could you please call Franklin Rose and try to reason with him?
10:40If we don't get a move on, this exhibit is going straight down the tubes.
10:44To replay messages, press zero. Press nine for an outside line.
10:55And we'll see you next time.
10:56Bye-bye.
10:58Bye-bye.
11:02Bye-bye.
11:06Bye-bye.
11:08Bye-bye.
11:12Bye-bye.
11:13Bye-bye.
11:14Bye-bye.
11:25I don't know.
11:56I don't know.
12:18I don't know.
12:47I don't know.
13:41I don't know.
13:56Nancy, you have brought me back to my work.
14:01What have you remembered?
14:02I've been working like a fiend.
14:05Look at the board.
14:07There's Henrik's password.
14:09This has something to do with the plot at the museum, Nancy.
14:14I'm sure of it.
14:25Who is this Whisperer of Silent Secrets?
14:28The Whisperer came from a distinguished line of royal scribes.
14:32I can't seem to remember her name.
14:34But I do recall that she wrote an account of Maya history that greatly angered Pakal because of the way
14:40it depicted his ascent to the throne.
14:45How did Pakal wish to be depicted?
14:47From the age of twelve, when he came to the throne, Pakal claimed to be divinely appointed the first, true,
14:54authentic king of the Maya.
14:57Then, the Whisperer came along and wrote that Pakal was only king because his mother pulled some strings.
15:03It was quite a blow to Pakal's image.
15:10So he put her in a stone prison?
15:12Pakal swore that the Whisperer's words would never see the light of day.
15:16He put her body, her soul, and her writings all in a tomb and locked it up tight.
15:23Wait, Henrik, a prison of stone?
15:26We're not talking about the monolith, are we?
15:29That's the idea.
15:30Do you think the monolith can be opened?
15:33Good question.
15:34I'm certain that there's a dirty rat trying to get into that tomb.
15:38But this is where my memory fizzles out.
15:40If I could only figure out why I took the Pakal.
15:49Do you think there is anyone I can trust?
15:52Please don't breathe a word of this.
15:55There's too much at stake.
15:58Henrik, I need to know where you put the Pakal carving.
16:03You're asking the wrong amnesiac.
16:06Do you know anything about the theft of Prudence Rutherford's necklace?
16:10I can't remember.
16:15You rest up.
16:16I'll be back.
16:17Be careful.
16:18You're set up.
16:27You're set up.
19:54This is Sheila Schultz, the director. What would you like to know?
19:58My name is Nancy Drew. I'm calling from the Beach Hill Museum in Washington, D.C.
20:02I understand you had some rare Maya artifacts stolen recently.
20:06That's right. It's a terrible loss. And the police here have no leads.
20:11Beach Hill was robbed, too. We lost one of our prized jade carvings.
20:15I'm very sorry to hear that.
20:17I'm wondering if the robberies are connected. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about the incident
20:22at Chaco Canyon?
20:23Fire away.
20:29I heard the thief left a red handprint at the scene of the crime. Is that true?
20:34Yes. It was very gruesome. It looked like blood. But according to the police analysis, the print was made with
20:41a mercuric sulfide paste.
20:51Do you know of any symbolic meaning attached to a red hand?
20:54Don't walk? Don't go there? Talk to the hand, as my 15-year-old would say?
20:59Really. I haven't the slightest idea.
21:08What types of artifacts did the thief get away with?
21:11Only the center's most prized pieces.
21:13The case contained five pre-Columbian artifacts that were excavated right from this area.
21:21Do you have a list of the stolen pieces?
21:23I know those pieces like the back of my hand. There were three pottery pieces, a small stone figurine with
21:29a snake head, and an ornamental jade carving.
21:37I'm interested in the jade carving. What did it look like?
21:41It was highly unusual. There was a glyph on it that no one could translate. Until we hired Henrik Vanderhuen,
21:47that is.
21:47His opinion was that it's Mayan in origin, and that it may have been a place-named glyph for this
21:52area.
21:53As you can imagine, we regarded it as something of a regional treasure.
22:04Could you send me a photo of that jade carving so I can take a look at the glyph?
22:08I'm afraid I sent our only print off to the insurance company.
22:11They said they'd return it, but who knows when our claim will be processed.
22:15I'm sorry.
22:19Thanks a million, Sheila.
22:21Feel free to call if you have any more questions.
22:43Chaco Canyon Cultural Center.
22:44Hi, this is Nancy Drew calling.
22:47Hi, Nancy.
22:47It's Sheila.
22:48What can I do for you?
22:49I've just got to get my hands on a replica of that jade carving you lost.
22:54Do you have any ideas?
22:55Not off the top of my head, but maybe one of my staff will have a bright idea.
22:59I need some time to ask around.
23:02Can you call back later?
23:03Sure thing.
23:04Feel free to call if you have any more questions.
23:06Do you have any more questions?
23:25Do you have any more questions?
23:25Do you have any more questions?
23:25Do you have any more questions?
23:26Do you have any more questions?
23:26Do you have any more questions?
23:26Do you have any more questions?
23:29Do you have any more questions?
23:29Do you have any more questions?
23:34Do you have any more questions?
