Bianca imagines she's a detective trying to find a missing bird.
Transcript
00:00Stay right where you are. It's Cyberchase for real.
00:04I think it was Captain Ketchup in the living room with the baby bottle.
00:10Bianca, you could be a detective.
00:12I'm gonna go get dinner ready.
00:15I could be a detective.
00:18I was working the late shift, trying to finish up some paperwork.
00:24Bianca, you have to help me.
00:26Nikki's missing.
00:28Take a seat.
00:32She smelled like money, rich and green.
00:38I asked her about Nick.
00:39So, how long has your husband been missing?
00:42Nick is my parakeet.
00:44When I came home tonight, his cage was empty.
00:46Except for a few feathers.
00:48A parakeet that flew the coop.
00:50It was my kind of case.
00:52I took down all the info I needed to solve the caper.
00:56I hate the thought of him scrounging for food in a garbage can.
01:00Or, or even worse, hanging around with, with pigeons.
01:07Stop your blubbering, sweetheart.
01:09I'll find you a chick.
01:11Her address was in the rich part of town, where it looked like money grew on trees, and she was
01:17the gardener.
01:18Is this the living room?
01:19No, this is Nick's room.
01:23I wondered why a bird would want to leave a cushy pad like this.
01:27Are these windows open?
01:28No, drafts are not good for birds.
01:30I keep them locked.
01:35You said you live alone here.
01:37Who else has a key to your house?
01:39No one.
01:40It's just me and my Nicky.
01:48That's little Nicky's home.
01:54You stop doing that?
01:56I can't think if you keep doing that.
02:04You know, the lock on this cage is broken.
02:07Yes, the locksmith's going to fix it next week.
02:10Well, since the door opens by itself and no one deliberately let the bird out, there's no chance of foul
02:15play.
02:16I was stumped.
02:18A missing bird in a room with all the windows shut.
02:21No one has the keys to the house except the owner, and she didn't let the bird out.
02:26I was missing an important piece of information.
02:29But like anything that's missing, you don't know where it is until you find it.
02:34I looked in the chandelier, on the shelves, anywhere a bird could perch.
02:40What am I missing?
02:41Are there any vents that Nicky could have flown into?
02:44Oh no, Nicky can't fly.
02:46His wings are clipped.
02:48Suddenly, it was crystal clear.
02:50I had the information I was missing.
02:53The bird can't fly.
02:56I had been looking in all the high spots when I should have looked in the low spots.
03:00Gotcha.
03:03My baby!
03:05You've come back!
03:08Well, actually, he never left.
03:10I thought he flew away, but I was missing one very important piece of information.
03:14He can't fly.
03:15So unless he walked out the front door, he had to still be in the room.
03:19Thank you, Bianca.
03:21You are the best detective.
03:23You deserve a reward.
03:27I should be a detective.
