00:20DADDLE RESIDENTS
00:21Hi, may I speak to Henry DADDLE, please?
00:23Speaking.
00:24Mr. DADDLE, my name is Nancy Drew.
00:26This is a long shot, but I'm calling regarding a Maya artifact that was bought at auction in 1898 by
00:33one Henry Albert DADDLE.
00:36Does that ring any bells?
00:37Sure. Henry Albert DADDLE Sr. was my great-grandfather.
00:41You're talking about the jade carving, right?
00:44Yes, exactly. Wow, I can't believe my luck.
00:47Well, it's a lucky life if you ask me.
00:50So what can I do for you?
00:53I'm investigating a recent rash of thefts around the country involving similar Maya artifacts.
00:58Any information you could give me about the one your great-grandfather bought would be very helpful.
01:04I see.
01:06Well, I was the last to inherit the carving, but my daughter Penelope was so intrigued with it that I
01:12gave it to her.
01:13I'm sure she'd be happy to talk to you about it.
01:16Why don't you give her a call on her line? It's 555-3197.
01:23Will do. Thanks, Mr. DADDLE.
01:26My pleasure.
01:39Hello?
01:40Hi, is this Penelope?
01:42Not even.
01:43Oh, is this 605-555-3197?
01:49Yeah, but no one calls me Penelope anymore. Except my parents, that is.
01:54To my friends, the art world, and anyone else who made it out of the 20th century, I'm Poppy.
02:01The art world? Wait, you're not Poppy Dada, are you?
02:05Ta-da! Ping-ping! You win! Who's this?
02:09My name's Nancy Drew. I'm a detective.
02:12A detective? No way.
02:14So do you get to wear a sassy tweed hat and pick hairs off dead bodies and gross, creepy stuff
02:19like that?
02:28Actually, I try to keep a low profile, and a tweed hat? Well, it's a little conspicuous.
02:34So, where'd you get my name? Don't tell me I'm, like, wanted by the FBI or something. That would be
02:40too scandalous.
02:44Not quite. Taylor Sinclair told me about you. I saw one of your paintings in his office, here in Washington,
02:50D.C.
02:51So, how do you know Big Bunny Sinclair?
02:58I beg your pardon. Did you say Big Bunny?
03:01Oops. Just a little nickname I accidentally found out about. He made me promise to abolish it from my memory.
03:08Anyway, about your acquaintance, you were saying?
03:15Taylor and I are both affiliated with Beach Hill Museum, also in D.C.
03:20Has Taylor been pushing those Oaxacan cookies on you? You haven't eaten one, have you?
03:26So far, I've managed to politely decline. I take it you advise against them?
03:32Let's put it this way. His trip to Oaxaca was about two years ago, and he's been trying to move
03:37those rancid, lard biscuits ever since.
03:43Aha! My suspicions are confirmed. I'll put that in my case notes.
03:48That's hot. What's the case? Are there dead bodies involved? Do you need to, like, tap my phone or impersonate
03:55me or something?
03:57Someone is stealing Maya antiquities, jade carvings to be exact, and leaving this scary red handprint at the scene of
04:04every crime.
04:06Ghastly. So, what's with the red hand?
04:14It's printed with this stuff called Cinnabar. Nobody seems to know what it means.
04:19All I know is the more I investigate, the more complicated it gets.
04:24Drama. So, where do the daddles come in?
04:33I'm trying to track down certain Maya jade carvings that haven't fallen into the thief's hands yet.
04:39I think one of them might be in your family.
04:42You mean that ancient green rock with the weird symbol on it?
04:45I slapped some shoe polish on it and stuck it in one of my paintings.
04:54Poppy, what were you thinking? You'll never get it back.
04:58That's the whole point.
04:59Have you heard the saying that a work of art is never finished, just abandoned?
05:03Well, I'm taking that idea to the limit by making art that will keep changing as different people encounter, perceive,
05:11and interact with it.
05:12I'm tired of artwork that says, don't touch.
05:16I'm all about letting go, about sending my work into the world and seeing how it continues to become.
05:22Don't you see? It's an organic process.
05:26I mean, how can people really relate to art if it doesn't come to life and grow and die?
05:34It's just like they do.
05:36That carving is part of something bigger now.
05:42I can't imagine your dad would be very pleased about this. Does he know?
05:47Oh, Nancy, don't be such a prude.
05:49Taylor's probably still got the artwork.
05:52At least, I don't think he's sold it yet.
05:54Why don't you ask him?
05:55Tell him you want to see the piece called Deadly Midnight Snack.
05:59It's the one with the rubber shark.
06:07The one with the rubber shark.
06:10Yes, I've seen it, but I didn't notice any jade carving.
06:14Well, take a closer look there, sweets. It's in there.
06:17If you really need the carving to crack this case, why don't you just go ahead and take it?
06:22What?
06:23Poppy, you can't be serious.
06:26Sure, why not?
06:27After all, this is a chance to enact exactly what I've been talking about.
06:30The organic process.
06:32Inviting my viewers to interact with my work.
06:35The deal is, you can take the carving, but you have to put something in its place.
06:47I can choose anything?
06:49A light bulb?
06:50A magnifying glass?
06:52A pair of headphones?
06:53No, it should be something more organic.
06:57Stay with the title, Deadly Midnight Snack.
07:00And don't be afraid to go way out.
07:03As an artist, I can tell you that inspiration bites in the most mysterious ways.
07:13Okay, Poppy, if you say so.
07:15Right on.
07:16But let's keep Taylor out of this.
07:18He'd probably blow a gasket if he saw you tampering with the merchandise.
07:24That's all art is to him, you know.
07:27Merchandise.
07:31I'll make sure he doesn't detect a thing.
07:34Good luck, Nancy.
07:35Thanks, Poppy. Bye.
07:37Bye.
08:01May I take a closer look at that wacky Dada painting?
08:04Be my guest.
08:05I just had a call from Poppy this morning.
08:07She says she's in a really creative period right now.
08:11I said please, sweetie.
08:13If you get any more creative, they're going to lock you up.
08:17Uh, pardon me a moment, Nancy.
08:19I'll be right back.
08:21I hope.
08:36Poppy said to replace it with something organic.
09:08I'll be right back.
09:37Diego DeLanda
09:40I wonder if that's one of the keys.
10:37I wonder if that's one of the keys.
10:40I wonder if that's one of the keys.
11:13I wonder if that's one of the keys.
11:38Can you help me?
11:40What do you need that word for?
11:44Oh, I need it to send a message by ham radio.
11:48It's a long story.
11:49Now, if only I could remember the word for snake.
11:53I hear you have been a great help to Henrik.
11:56I wonder if you can help me improve my memory, too.
12:07Something tells me this translation is going to come with strings attached.
12:11I am almost certain that the provenance documents for the Pocall carving were falsified.
12:16I have asked Joanna to see the documents, but she evades me.
12:20If you can find that file in her office and bring it to me, I think it might help my
12:25memory of Nahuatl a lot.
12:32What makes you think they were falsified?
12:35In Mexico, it is common knowledge that the carving was stolen from Pocall's tomb when it was first excavated.
12:41But no one has been able to prove it.
12:44If I can determine that the provenance documents are a fraud,
12:47this will be the first major step toward legal repatriation of the artwork,
12:52whenever and wherever it resurfaces.
12:57Ah, I guess I hadn't thought about it like that.
13:01I feel my Nahuatl coming back to me already.
13:03Do you know what Sihwapili means?
13:06Princess or lady.
13:07Now, if only I could remember the word for snake.
13:11I should get back to the museum.
13:13Adios, Nancy.
13:24I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:27I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:31I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:36I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:40I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:41I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:43I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:43I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:43I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:44I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:46I don't know what Sihwapili means.
13:48I don't know what Sihwapili means.
15:05Hello, Nancy. You have a special delivery for me, I hope?
15:09Here's your file, as requested.
15:14Good work, my friend. I suppose you would like something in return?
15:19I trust your Nahuatl has become fluent again.
15:22The Nahuatl word for snake is coatl. C-O-A-T-L.
15:27Muchas gracias. Gotta go.
15:30Adios, Nancy.
15:31See you next time.
16:14See you next time.
16:15See you next time.
