Psychic Arson Vision | Psych

0:48 Hey, what is going on in there?

0:51 Chief never closes her blinds.

0:52 You know I don't like being out of the loop.

0:54 Sean, what are you doing?

0:55 Jules,

0:56 how about an update on this blind situation?

0:58 Oh, just some case with the fire department or something.

1:01 Fire department?

1:01 Did you hear that?

1:02 Of course I did.

1:02 I'm standing 2 and 1/2 ft away from you.

1:04 So, what's the scoop?

1:05 Well, apparently some building burned down

1:07 last week on Benadetto under suspicious circumstances,

1:10 and they're looking for backup.

1:11 Sorry, you guys got to go, dude.

1:13 That's us.

1:14 We're backup.

1:16 What?

1:17 I strongly believe.

1:18 Excuse us.

1:19 We're looking for the fireman.

1:20 He's probably wearing a yellow or red hard hat,

1:22 maybe carrying an axe, possibly a large bucket of sand,

1:25 and a dalmatation.

1:27 Discounting your interruption to a closed door meeting.

1:30 Miss Conrad is a city's arson inspector.

1:33 Arson?

1:34 Miss?

1:34 Hello, arson.

1:35 That's fire.

1:36 Yes.

1:36 Sean Spencer, head psychic, SPD.

1:39 I'm available for cases as well.

1:42 Um, I'm not going to do that.

1:44 I understand.

1:44 Obsessive compulsion.

1:46 If you're finished, Mr.

1:47 Spencer, we'd like to proceed with our meeting.

1:49 So,

1:49 how rude of me.

1:50 I'd like to look at the criminal activity for that area.

1:52 I believe her.

1:55 What?

1:54 I'm sensing that Lassie skeptical that this is arson.

1:57 Of course, I'm skeptical.

1:58 She's an arson investigator.

2:00 They always want it to be arson.

2:01 Keeps their jobs viable.

2:02 Can I go now?

2:03 All I need is access to some of your files for the last few years.

2:05 I can do that for you.

2:07 What?

2:07 Come on, Chief.

2:07 I know where the file room is.

2:09 Besides, when you get down there, things can get tricky.

2:11 Some of those drawers stick.

2:13 Who gave you access to the file room?

2:15 Irrelevant and immaterial.

2:16 Chief, you're not going to let him do

2:18 that thing where he only uses courtroom jargon.

2:19 Are you

2:20 Mr.

2:20 Spencer?

2:21 He is making a mockery of these proceedings.

2:23 All I'm saying is that she is making a very compelling argument.

2:26 You're an idiot.

2:27 That's less compelling.

2:28 Move to strike.

2:29 Please remove him.

2:30 Gladly.

2:30 Sidebar, Miss Conrad.

2:33 I think I can help you.

2:34 You have no idea why I'm here.

2:35 I'm sensing something happened on Mendettto Street.

2:38 You're not getting the support you want from your department.

2:39 You're looking for a little outside assistance.

2:42 That's actually spot on.

2:43 Yes, I know.

2:46 Chief, I believe we have a match.

2:48 Made in heaven.

2:53 Holy crap.

2:54 This place is like completely burned.

2:56 It's called a fire.

2:57 So,

2:57 and it's all evidence, so don't touch anything.

3:00 All right, I'll try to speak slowly.

3:03 Let's review.

3:04 I believe the fire started in this general area and spread in this direction.

3:09 Conrad, what are you doing here?

3:11 Thought you were done with this site.

3:13 And this is

3:14 Army Johnson Fire Prevention Bureau and your supervisor in case you forgot.

3:19 Well, if this is arson, then

3:20 look, at the bureau, we have a policy of supporting our rookies.

3:25 Rookies.

3:24 So, I gave you a lot of latitude on this case.

3:27 I read your report and I surveyed the scene myself.

3:30 Looks like an accidental fire to me, not malicious arson.

3:33 I respectfully disagree,

3:36 honey.

3:36 The last time this city had an arsonist was so long ago,

3:40 I was still on the big red truck.

3:42 Besides, this building had no fire insurance, so no one profits.

3:46 A firebug doesn't need a motive.

3:48 Yeah, enough.

3:49 Just finish your report.

3:51 H, now I'm late for my hot yoga class.

3:54 I'm teaching this year.

3:58 An accident?

4:00 Is there something we're missing here?

4:02 Well, we did find some empty liquor bottles

4:05 and cigarette butts around the fire's point of origin.

4:07 And we've had several reports of teenagers looking for places to party.

4:10 I think Lassie's on to something.

4:12 Have we ruled out teenagers who meet

4:13 in abandoned buildings and make bananas foster?

4:16 It is not teenagers.

4:18 One of the firemen remembers smelling a distinct

4:20 sweet odor while putting out the fire.

4:22 And that is a sign of a stronger accelerant than alcohol.

4:25 And if this is a fire block, he is just getting started.

4:30 Dude, that wall over there doesn't have any insulation.

4:33 I think that's an external wall.

4:35 Look, if no one from your department is on board,

4:38 I'm on board.

4:46 Gus, what's happening to me?

4:49 What the hell are you doing?

4:50 There's something off with this wall right here.

4:53 I can feel it.

4:56 Oh my god.

4:57 What the?

4:58 Did not see that coming.

5:01 Miss Conrad, this wasn't just arson.

5:05 It was murder.

5:10 I'm [music] sensing that this man, Is it a man?

5:14 I don't I don't know what it is.

5:16 Yes.

5:16 Based on the pelvic girdle.

5:19 Burned to death.

5:19 Hell of a way to go.

5:20 He didn't burn to death.

5:22 And he pulled a 22 slug out of his sternum.

5:24 He was shot then burned.

5:25 It's sad, but that's what they do to guys who wear girdles.

5:28 This man is the reason fire was set.

5:30 According to the Emy's preliminary report,

5:32 the bullet entered the body at a downward

5:34 trajectory based on bone fragments containing lead residue.

5:37 Let's see from behind and downward means

5:39 our shooter got the demand on his knees.

5:41 Popped him execution style.

5:43 Bang.

5:44 Did you trim that fingernail?

5:45 Meaning the merciless.

5:46 Then the killer torched the building to make the body unidentifiable.

5:49 Or to remove any trace of his own fingerprints or DNA.

5:52 We couldn't even pull a print off the bullet.

5:54 Smart move.

5:54 In case you missed it, detective, this is my I told you so face,

5:58 which is kind of hard to distinguish from your I thought

6:00 this was going to be a new episode of Lone Order,

6:02 but turns out it's a repeat face.

6:04 A dead body changes things.

6:05 That's his email signature.

6:06 So, we're on board.

6:07 And because it's a homicide, it's our investigation.

6:10 No, it's arson.

6:10 And I've already briefed Army on all of this.

6:12 He says it's my case.

6:13 I'm on point.

6:14 You report to me.

6:15 Look, when we find our murderer, you'll find your arsonist.

6:18 No.

6:18 When I find my arsonist, I'll find your murderer.

6:21 No.

6:21 Guys, please.

6:22 Can't we come up with a term that covers both killer and arsonist?

6:26 How about our sass?

6:29 The skeleton have trace amounts of methylenzene, the primary component of TNT.

6:32 You can get it at any hardware store, and it has a sweet odor.

6:36 All right, fine.

6:36 But no one outside this room can know we recovered a skeleton.

6:39 And make sure the city treats the site like an accident.

6:41 Right.

6:42 I want our killer,

6:43 our assassin or carsonist.

6:46 Our assassin.

6:47 I want the killer to feel safe.

6:48 I wanted to think that his plan worked.

6:51 Secondly, key to solving this case is to figure out who this guy was.

6:57 Come here, Arthin.

7:02 Wow.

7:02 You know, you could afford to slow down a little.

7:04 If you walk any faster, you're going to travel through time.

7:07 So, what's our next move?

7:08 Well, I assume we're going to team up, right?

7:10 Travel cross country, solving mysteries,

7:12 maybe set up shop on the side of the road, form a bluegrass trio.

7:15 Look, I appreciate you guys getting the cops to take this seriously,

7:18 but you don't have a lot of experience

7:19 with this, so I prefer to handle point alone.

7:22 You know, Sunzu says that teamwork can be

7:24 very sensual if you I'll email you the rest.

7:29 I'd go after if she wasn't walking at cougar speeds,

7:32 right?

7:32 So, what are we doing?

7:33 Are we really done?

7:34 Gus, don't be William Zapka from back to school.

7:36 We need to get in with the firemen who put out the fire.

7:38 Shotgun on firepole.

7:40 Can't call shotgun on a firepole.

7:41 And why then?

7:42 I think we're looking for a fireman.

7:44 Someone who knows fire.

7:45 Someone who knows the system.

7:46 He started the fire somewhere else, then moved the flames towards the victim.

7:49 Because the first thing an arson inspector looks for is a point of origin.

7:54 Okay.

7:54 How in the world do you know all that?

7:56 I rode the backdraft ride at Universal Studios like 74 times.

7:59 Sean, you can't base a whole theory on a movie.

8:02 There's a movie.

8:10 Now, when we get in here, don't do that thing you used to do when we were kids.

8:14 Hi, fireman.

8:15 Help you.

8:17 It's Sean Spencer.

8:18 Hunting an arsonist.

8:20 Step Anthony Wally Ali.

8:21 Cat stuck in a tree.

8:23 Oh, Conrad told me about you.

8:24 The psycho.

8:27 Psychic.

8:27 But before we get down to business, uh, is Fireman Paul around?

8:32 We heard he used to work out of here back in the day.

8:33 We just want to say hello.

8:34 He came to our school when we were kids.

8:36 No, we're sure he'd remember us.

8:37 Gus accidentally peed on him and I gave him

8:39 impo [laughter] [music and singing] [music] deception.

8:49 Learn how to bend your worst inhibition.

8:52 They'll psych you out in the end.
