Miss Clue Fanatic: Season 5, Part 13 (Part 1 of 3)
Scene: At the Darcy home, Lucy is about to reveal the message
Martha: Well? What does it say?
Lucy: I-It's from Harry Pierce! He has John!
Martha: What, how, when! Agh, give me that letter!
Lucy: Poor John! We should have listened to him!
Martha: He wants us to pay a price of TWO thousand dollars in order to free him.. Where on earth are we going to get that money??
Lucy: I know! Mom and Dad have plenty of money on their cards, maybe we could--
Martha: No, no, we can't do that. We would need to know their bank account.
Lucy: Oh.. That's true.
Martha: I say we should march right into that lab and get John back, without paying!
Lucy: Come on Martha, the lab is well-guarded. We need to think of something better.
Martha: Well, how else are we going to-- Oh great...
Lucy: What is it? Don't tell me it's more bad news!
Martha: Yes... And no, sort of. I got an idea, it's CRAZY, but it might just work.
Scene: In their bedroom, Martha and Lucy are having a video-call with a certain someone in Pemberley
Martha: For crying out loud, just accept the call already!
Lucy: If we're patient, it'll be answered eventually.
Martha: We don't have time for "eventually"-- Finally!
Lucy: Heh.. Hello, Julia. -Waves at the screen-
Julia: No, no, no! It's you two again!
Martha: Well, we aren't too happy to see you either.
Julia: Ugh! I'm hanging up!
Lucy: No, don't! We need your help!
Julia: My help? Tell me, why would I EVER, and I mean EVER, help ANYONE from the DARCY family?
Martha: Not even if it's about your father?
Julia: What? What about my father? And this better not be some trick!
Lucy: He has our friend, John. He's expecting us to pay at least two thousand dollars for him, we can't afford that.
Julia: Okay, so what? I don't care about John, and I don't care if you can't get him back. So I---
Martha: If you don't help us, we'll call the police, and your beloved father will be back behind bars.
Julia: What, no! You wouldn't dare!
Lucy: Um, yeah, don't you think that's a little bit too harsh, Martha?
Julia: Yeah! Listen to her!
Martha: Make a decision. Are you going to help us, or not?
Julia: Of course I'm not going to help you, I would be crazy if I did that!
Lucy: Julia, come on! You have to help us!
Martha: It's okay Lucy, Julia has made her choice. Guess it's time to end this call and then dial 911... -Reaches for the 'Cancel Call' button-
Julia: Okay, okay, FINE! I'll help you.
Martha: Knew you would come to your senses. -Grins-
Julia: Whatever! I'll be there tomorrow! -Hangs up-
Scene: At Alice's house...
Alice: No way! You actually convinced Julia?
Lucy: Well, we didn't really "convince" her... But sure, I guess you could say that.
Alice: You guys do realize that she could be tricking you, right?
Martha: Obviously, but don't worry, we have everything planned out.
Alice: Well, I hope that your plan works. Because if it doesn't, who knows what could happen to John...
Martha: -Sighs- Yeah, I know.
Lucy: How did John even get himself into this situation?
Alice: No idea, but it is John we're talking about, after all.
Martha: You're going to help us, right Alice?
Alice: Duh! John is my best friend, and Harry Pierce is my best enemy. Of course I'm helping.
Lucy: All of this talk about Harry Pierce is making me get scared! -Hugs her panda teddy bear-
Martha: Lucy, you actually brought that with you? You're ten now, ten!
Lucy: Don't care, it's special to me. My friend Echo gave it to me, remember?
Martha: That was 4 years ago!
Alice: Cousins cousins, enough fighting. We have more important things to focus on.. Freeing John.
