BES24aG

Heh heh, Nancy Drew, detective by day, hacker by night. But after all, someone's life is in danger. Try to see if you can search the report for any detail on Rick Arlen.

Bes24a, Bes24b, Bes24c

This speech is split up and still unused amongst the similar files (listed in proper playing order).

BES24bG

Heh heh, Nancy Drew, detective by day, hacker by night. But after all, someone's life is in danger. I'd try printing the report for someone who works at the studio.

Bes24a, Bes24b, Bes24d

This speech is split up and still unused amongst the similar files (listed in proper playing order).

BES38aG

It's one of those combination locks, right? My dad has one of those, and he keeps the combination hidden in his desk drawers.

Bes38a, Bes38b

Split up amongst the given similar files as well. Bes38c contains an alternate version of Bes38b, mentioning an office instead of desk drawers.

BES43cG

Definitely, but be careful; this may very well be the end to your mystery!

none

Bes25a

You'd probably need to find an employee ID number.

none

Bes25b

They're often listed on employee passes.

none

Bes29a

Try to see if you can hear the person's real voice on that bomb tape.

none

Bes29b

Or else, see if you can hear anything else on that tape that would give away the maker's identity.

none

Bes30

Oh Nancy, you're so near discovering who's behind all of this. Now all you need to find out is who lives near a harbor or a marina.

none

Bes31b

Have you asked Lillian, or maybe Pappas where they might be?

none

Bes34a

See if you can track this guy down.

none

Bes34b

Try looking him up in the personnel files.

none

Bes34c

He may have some important information.

none

Bes35b

Try Lillian's office. She probably has access to the network from there.

none

Bes35c

Try finding one in the administrative areas.

none

Bes36a

Oh, be careful Nancy. It just seems so risky.

none

Bes36b

Just don't blame me if you get caught.

none

Bes36c

Maybe you can get someone else in the building to let you in.

none

Bes37a

Oh, I'm not sure if that's a good thing to do. But if you really must get in there, why don't you use the old "credit card through the door lock" trick?

none

Bes37b

Are you sure you want to do this? Do you have something at hand that you could use to jimmy the door open?

none

Bes40b

See if you can find out more information on him, and then call me back!

none

Bes40c

Find out more information on him.

none

Bes41

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? That maybe Mattie is trying to scare Rick off so she doesn't have to share the limelight with him? Do you think she'd go that far?

none

Bes43b

You should be safe, as long as the security people are there. Call on them if you need them.

none

Bes43c

I know that after you eliminate whatever doesn't work, you'll figure out this mystery.

none

Bes45a

This message is for Nancy Drew. Please have her call her friend, Bess Marvin. Thank you! P.S., I'm a really big fan of yours and I just wanted to say you're my favorite actress!

Bes45b

Bes46

Hi Nancy, it's Bess! What's up?

none

Bes47

I've run of ideas.

none

Bes48

Hi, this is Nancy's friend, Bess? Please have her call me at my home, thanks!

none

Bes49

Oh no, what happened?

none

Bes50

Well, better luck next time! I just hope there'll be a next time for Rick!

none

Bes51

This is Bess.

none

Bes52

Hello, any new developments on the case?

none

beshi

Bess: This is Bess.
Nancy: Hi Bess, it's Nancy!
Bess: Hello. Any new developments on the case?

none

besintro

Bess: This is Bess.
Nancy: Hi Bess, it's Nancy!

GEO23aG

Go to the studio, and find out what's been happening there. Just take a taxicab outside to get there.

Geo23b

Geo23b is the second sentence of this transcript. The first part is Geo23a, which is used.

GEO35bG

Nancy! You should search the lost and found area again. There must be something very important in there.

Geo35a, Geo35c

Split up amongst the given similar files.

Geo01

Fayne residence.

none

Geo03

Hey Nancy! What's new on the case?

none

Geo05

Wow, that sounds pretty intense. Is there anything I can help you out with?

none

Geo11a

You'll probably need to go to the studio to pick it up there.

none

Geo11b

I'm sure you can catch a taxicab outside to take you there.

none

Geo14a

Hm. I would think your studio pass could get you in.

none

Geo14b

That is, when they're not filming.

none

Geo21b

Maybe it'll be needed in an upcoming scene.

none

Geo21c

Try to find a script to see where it's needed.

none

Geo24a

I'd talk to Mattie, and listen to what she has to tell you. She may be giving out clues without even realizing it.

none

Geo25b

I'd talk to some of the people who work at the studio.

none

Geo25c

I'd find as many suspects as possible, and then grill them.

none

Geo26b

I'm sure you've had a long day, it's time to unwind.

none

Geo26c

I'm sure you'll have better luck tomorrow.

none

Geo27b

Well, have you talked to Rick Arlen yet?

Geo27c

Geo27c refers to Rick as "the victim".

Geo28b

Check out the scripts to see if they hold any clues. You never know what you'll find, when you read in-between the lines.

none

Geo28c

Keep your eyes open for clues. You'll never know what you'll find, when you read in-between the lines.

none

Geo29

Bess is home. Why not try giving her a call?

none

Geo30a

Y'know, I bet they changed the lock combinations because of that bomb scare.

none

Geo30b

See if you can find a memo, or maybe a note to Mattie about this.

none

Geo30d

There's got to be a way into the studio at night. Are you sure you can't find a way in?

none

Geo31b

Check out the prop room. I'm sure most of the stuff in there will be handy in your investigations.

none

Geo33a

The key probably opens some piece of stage machinery.

none

Geo33b

Like a trap door control, in the studio!

none

Geo34a

There must be a way to turn the power on for the trap door levers. Have you looked in the control room?

none

Geo34b

Either the levers are stuck, or they're on some kind of power supply.

none

Geo35b

I bet the culprit has lost something that's being kept there.

none

Geo38

Hello?

Geo41

Geo40

Hi. This is a message for Nancy Drew to call her friend, George. Thank you!

none

Geo42

This is George.

Hello?

And then what happened?

none

Ned24

What about letting me down?

none

Ned25

I know, I, I know. It's just— I miss you, and I'm worried about you, y'know?

none

Ned26

I think it's me who's letting you down. Nancy, I love you, but I'm just worried about you. I really miss you, but I know a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

none

Ned27

OK.

NBES49G

I finally found that surveillance tape! It looked like a stagehand leaving the studio, and then Dwayne Powers coming in a few minutes later.

Nbes49, Nbes50, Nbes51

Given similar files are the split-up version of this audio, all unused.

NBES50G

I finally found that surveillance tape! It looked like Owen Spayder leaving the studio, and then Dwayne Powers coming in a few minutes later.

Nbes49, Nbes50, Nbes50a

Given similar files are the split-up version of this audio, all unused.

NBES81G

I found a copy of Mattie's keys in her dressing room. I wonder if one of them opens her desk drawer in her apartment.

Nbes81, Nbes82

Given similar files are the split-up version of this audio, all unused.

Nbes11

Why does she work in the prop room, if she owns the place?

none

Nbes12

Why doesn't she like Rick?

none

Nbes13

Gosh, that is sad. Hm, but why doesn't she like Rick?

none

Nbes14

Did they ever find the guy?

none

Nbes21

Hi Bess, it's Nancy!

Nbes23

Nbes22

You'll never guess what happened!

none

Nbes25

I need some advice.

Nbes91

Nbes26

How could I get into Lillian's office?

none

Nbes27

Rick's life is at stake!

none

Nbes28

I know it's wrong, but—

none

Nbes29

Someone's life is at risk!

none

Nbes30

There's a madman loose!

none

Nbes31

That's right!

none

Nbes32

I need to get into Lillian's office at night!

none

Nbes33

I think there's more to her than meets the eye.

none

Nbes34

I got into Lillian's office!

none

Nbes37

I can't get the security log to print!

none

Nbes39

You'll never guess what I found in Lillian's office!

none

Nbes40

A bottle of castor oil.

none

Nbes41

Lillian must've been the one who sent Rick those threats!

none

Nbes42

I found a bottle of castor oil, and the number for a chocolate shop in her drawer.

none

Nbes44

Do you I should confront her with this evidence?

none

Nbes45

What should I do?

none

Nbes47

I heard a sound on the tape. It sounds like a boat horn.

none

Nbes54

Owen Spayder is a stage hand working for the Powers agency.

none

Nbes56

I found this clock hand in the prop room.

none

Nbes57

Millie was hiding it.

none

Nbes58

There's a trap door control box in the studio, but I can't open it.

none

Nbes59

I'm trying to open the trap door, but I can't find the power switch!

none

Nbes60

I think I opened a trap door, but I can't find it.

none

Nbes61

I really need to get into Dwayne's office.

none

Nbes62

I need to find more information on this Owen Spayder guy.

none

Nbes63

Do you think I should sneak into Dwayne's office?

none

Nbes64

Dwayne's office building is locked all of the time.

none

Nbes67

Dwayne's agency is not doing so well.

none

Nbes68

I found all of these outstanding bills.

none

Nbes69

I also found several checks that Mattie wrote to Dwayne.

none

Nbes70

If only I could get into Dwayne's locked file cabinet.

none

Nbes71

I found out that Owen Spayder works as a stage hand.

none

Nbes73

I found out that Owen Spayder worked at the theater where Dwayne, Mattie, and Rick worked a couple of years ago.

none

Nbes74

Mattie's mom is really pressuring her to be the star of the show.

none

Nbes75

I found out that the stationery Mattie uses is also used on some of those letters Rick has been getting.

none

Nbes77

Someone threatened me on the phone!

none

Nbes78

It's the same electronic voice on the bomb tape.

none

Nbes79

Lillian just called me.

none

Nbes80

She wants me to meet her at the studio.

none

Nbes83

I took Mattie's keys; do you think I should open her desk drawer?

none

Nbes84

I found some old letters from her and Rick. They were really in love.

none

Nbes85

Do you think I should go?

none

Nbes87

Bye!

none

Nbes88

I need your help.

none

Nbes89

D'you got a minute?

none

Nbes90

I'm stumped.

Nnp01

Guess who!

none

Nnp02

Hi, it's me!

none

Nnp18

Guess what! Mattie helped me land a job as an extra through her agent, Dwayne! I guess he places a lot of actors.

none

Nnp22

It was pretty scary for a minute there.

none

Nnp23

Once I defused the bomb and got out of there, I called the police, and I was stuck at the station for hours. They searched the dressing room and sent the bomb off to the crime lab, but they didn't find anything. Oh, and remind me to thank Chief McGinnis when I get back home. He vouched for me when I asked for a copy of the tape.

none

Nnp24

I wish I could, but I'm in too deep already.

none

Nnp25

That's not fair, Ned! You know I love you, and wouldn't do anything to hurt you.

none

Nnp26

How am I letting you down?

none

Nnp27

Oh, Ned, I've got another call. It's probably the police. I love you, and I promise I'll be careful. Call you later, OK?

none

Nnp29

Ned, you know I can't. I've got to get to the bottom of this. I can't let Mattie and Rick down.

I was only trying to help. It seemed suspicous that his door was unlocked, and I wanted to see if everything was OK.

none

Npp11

No, I'm just concerned about Rick's safety.

none

Npp32a

Can I see them sometime?

Npp32b

Npp34

Hello Mr. Pappas, this is Nancy Drew. I hate to bother you, but, can I ask you a couple more questions?

none

In the final game, it's impossible to call Pappas a second time (in fact, he calls you the first and only time), and there's no other way to speak to him.

Npp35

Thank you for your time.
