TV-Serie: Psych - 1x11
Shawn.
Stop.
Turn around.
Turn around.
What are you hiding?
Did you get in a fight, shawn?
Kinda.
Kinda ?
What do you mean, kinda ?
What did I tell you about fighting ?
Get over here, son.
Let me take a look at that.
You really got punched.
All right, tell me...
what's the name of this kid who hit you?
Elizabeth.
You got in a fight with a girl?
It wasn't really a fight.
She just punched me.
Well, why in the world would she punch you?
What...
what happened?
She asked me to sit next to her at lunch, and I did, And then I was eating my tater tots, Then she just punched me.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
What was she doing while you were eating your tater tots?
I don't know.
She was talking about something.
What?
What was she talking about?
I have no idea.
She just went on and on, and I was concentrating on my tater tots.
Well, I'll be damned.
Shawn, I know what happened.
You just had your first date.
Sit.
Sit.
My first what?
Look, obviously, this elizabeth girl likes you.
That's why she invited you over to sit next to her.
Then why did she sock me in the eye?
Because she likes you, and you didn't listen to her story.
Women want you to listen to them, shawn.
They want you to pick up every small detail, and they want you to compliment them.
It's about tuning in to people.
It's about getting inside their heads And anticipating their needs, And this applies to all aspects of life-- Not only this girl, Elizabeth, but...even your barber.
But I don't want to date the barber.
Shawn, I know that one day all of this is going to make sense to you.
You just have to believe me.
But for now, I'm going to leave you with one very simple rule-- Under no circumstances, ever...
ever do you mention to a woman her age or her weight.
Nobody breathe.
I've got it.
I've got it in grams.
I've got it in minutes.
Just give me a second here to do a little converting.
I got it.
37 years old.
127 pounds.
That was amazing.
How did you do that?
I have to admit, though, sadly, It's just a teensy bit higher in the weight department.
You know what?
That's my bad.
I believe I was getting a "future reading" from next week.
It happens.
I apologize.
Wait...
I'm also getting a dance belt...
you are my head detective.
And fishnet stockings.
But that's this guy.
That's this guy here.
Shawn.
Shawn.
I'm kidding.
You're such a good sport everybody loves you.
Hey, spencer...
lassie-Face!
I've got the perfect case for you guys.
I'm sorry, you're saying that you want our help?
Yeah.
What's the catch?
There's no catch.
It's just right up your alley.
I could really use your insights on this one.
Guy's waiting to give you a statement.
Interrogation room "b."
Make me proud.
Okay...
what does that sound like to you?
Opportunity.
No.
You think lassiter is going to just hand us over a case?
Stop, let's think about this for a minute.
Gus, come on.
What?
We're going to roll up our sleeves we're going to get a little bit dirty And we're going to do some old-fashioned police work.
Come on, this is like in the heat of the night Which makes me carroll o'connor.
No, that means you're rod steiger.
That way, I'm sidney poitier.
You know that's right.
Oh!
Boy...
Looks like somebody beat us to the rolling up the sleeves.
No.
What are you doing?
What?
This is our case.
He's naked.
I'm going to work it from the outside.
We've got to work the room.
You can work it from in here.
Now, shut the door.
Mr...
turk, is it?
My name's shawn spencer.
I'm the head "p" for the sbpd.
You're the who for the what?
Don't concern yourself with formalities, mr.
Turk.
I'm here to take your statement, find out just what exactly happened to you.
Well, I don't really remember much.
Funny...
it says here you told the desk sergeant you woke up naked in a field with your ass hanging out.
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, I don't remember exactly what they look like.
You know, it's all really confusing for me right now.
When you say "they just", who are you referring to?
The aliens.
See?
Right, aliens.
Here it is.
Page two.
Got it.
How would you describe these aliens,mr.
Turk?
Would you say they were small?
Would you say they were green?
I- I don't really recall right now.
I've got this headache, and...
who is that person over there?
Because he's really making me uncomfortable.
I'm makingyouuncomfortable right now?
Dude, is there any reason why you're not wearing clothes now?
Hey, I think I might have been abducted, all right?
I believe I might've been experimented on so there's no way I'm going to touch these clothes and compromise evidence!
Okay, okay, mr.
Turk.
Please, try to gain control of your considerable person.
Why don't you cover up with a towel.
That's why it's there.
One size fits all...
I hope.
All right.
I'll cover up with the towel, but first...
does somebody want to check me for scars?
Oh, good lord!
O/~ I know you know that I'm not telling the truth o/~ O/~ I know you know they just don't have any proof o/~ O/~ embrace the deception o/~ O/~ learn how to bend o/~ O/~ your worst inhibitions o/~ O/~ they will psych you out in the end o/~ Are you really willing to just dismiss the idea that there's life on other planets ?
This is what I've got.
I know he was dragged out there.
Otherwise, no sign of assault, Nothing taken...
aside from the embarrassment of waking up naked|in a field We've got nothing to hang our hats on.
I guess technically We could have hung our hats on it.
Shawn.
Sure.
Look, if it's not the alien thing, Then how do you explain The memory loss the confusion, the fact that he saw a little green man?
Hallucinations.
No.
What?
Dude, you're the expert here.
Come on, man, there's got to be some drug that would cause a combination of those three things.
Think.
Drugs !
Oh, you're asking me?
Sure.
Well...
let me see.
Off the top of my head Any SSRIS, tramadol, bupropion proton pump inhibitors...
That's what I'm talking about.
Thank you.
Venlafaxine, ropinirole...
that's good work, buddy.
B- Adrenoreceptor antagonists...
Okay, gold star for gus.
Phencyclidine, ketamine, bufotenine...
You're not going to stop, are you?
Did I already say venlafaxine?
There's no way to be sure.
Wait, wait a second.
Didn't he say something to you about...
about smelling lavender?
He said right before he blacked out He rembered the strong scent of lavender and seeing, uh..
Barbed Wire.
Right.
Wait a second.
Gus, that's not a hallucination.
That's a location.
That's what I'm saying.
And I know exactly where it is.
Dude, I've driven by this place at least twice.
The question is, what are|the cops doing here?
Johnny.
Oh.
Look, I saw the picture of that turk guy in the paper.
Now it's me in a field naked?
Headache?
You do the math.
Do you rember seeing anything out of the ordinary?
Uh...
I don't remember much at all.
So you just woke up in a field wearing nothing but your birthday suit.
Look, I told you yes already.
Are you going to give me a hard time?
'Cause I'm a little freaked out as it is.
And can somebody get me a bigger towel?
This thing is like the size of a wash cloth.
What are you, some kind of pervert?
Cut him some slack.
He's just doing his job.
You think he gets his jollies taking pictures of your ding-dong?
Lassie!
What are you guys doing here?
This is my case.
You gave it to me, rember?
Look, it's a copycat, okay?
He saw turk's picture in the paper.
He's looking for attention.
So he wakes up and sees turk in the paper naked humiliated,the butt of jokes at the water cooler and says, "hmm.
How can I make this work for myself?
What?
Plus, it's really itchy out here.
When you get your master's degree in criminology, Then you can call me.
In the meantime, I've got a half-eaten enchirito in my car.
All right, here we go.
You're up.
What?
Do it.
I'm not doing that.
Dude...
I took the fat guy in the police station.
I'm not doing that.
This is a much better...
I'm not doing that.
We're partners.
Gus!
What does this case have to do with a tanning salon?
It's the middle of winter in santa barbara.
Those dudes looked like gingerbread men, without tan lines.
They fake and they bake.
Shawn, exactly how closely did you look at these naked guys?
Too close.
My heightened observational skills are considered a gift by most, But I'm here to tell you it can be a burden.
How do you know it's this place?
Keiser didn't have any streaks on his buttocks, okay?
That screams the insta-Tan process, And this is the only place that does that.
Right.
Plus, they both live within a mile and a half of this joint.
I can't ring this.
Hello!
Hello!
Look, I'm going to snoop around, okay?
You find out if turk or keiser were here, and if so, when.
Oh, shawn, shawn.
This is not going to work.
Dude, I've got to do my thing.
I've got to mix it up nice.
But...
You always complain you don't get to do the questiony part.
Questiony part...
gus.
Right, but...
you're forgetting something-- May I help you?
Yes.
I'm here for a tanning appointment.
For yourself?
Yes, for the...
insta-Tan process.
I would like that.
But...
what?
Well, you're...
yes.
Uh, I don't understand.
Okay, look, screw it.
I can't do it.
Have you seen either of these two guys here before?
Fred turk or philip keiser?
Shawn.
Shawn.
Okay, both turk and keiser not only have been here, But they're regulars.
He says it's always the single guys who try to keep up with their tans.
Single guys.
Yeah.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe some woman is targeting singles at the salon.
The question is, what kind of a oser thinks getting a tan Is going to help him score a woman?
Dad?
Dad, what are you doing here?
The real question is, what are you doing here?
Well, george hamilton, we're on a case...
or maybe you missed the pictures of the guys in the paper in the fields...
yes, of course I saw the nudists.
Guy in the field thinks he was abducted by aliens.
Idiot.
What does that have to do with this place?
Well, they're both regulars here.
They both happen to be single So this could be a stalking case.
Wait a second.
Your dad is single and he comes here all the time.
Everybody comes here.
What is that?
What?
Exfoliating scrub...
with pumice.
Whatever, shawn.
All I know is when I varnish my boat and I don't want it to streak, I sand off a layer first.
Same thing goes with tanning.
That is the single most disturbing analogy I have ever heard in my entire life.
Where are they?
Who?
The queer eye guys.
I know they're here somewhere.
Gus, what are their names?
How am I supposed to know, Shawn?
Carson and jai...
and the guy with the glasses.
Who cooks a fish.
Right.
Shawn, you know what your real problem is?
You got yourself another case, and, as usual, you're short-sighted.
You think it's all impressive, Cause you see a couple of nude guys in a field, You put a fix on 'em here.
Well, it's not enough.
This is what we know-- Both these guys are trying to impress someone, Which means a woman was involved, And that same woman was with them in the field.
Shawn saw a woman's shoe strap In the field.
How or why she connects to them, I just...
I just don't know yet.
Well, you're not looking close enough.
Believe me, I've looked just about as close as I can bear.
I'm with you on the aliens thing.
They're here, and they've swapped out my father with jose eber.
I think your dad might be right.
I think we should get turk and keiser In the same room and actually ask them some questions.
Fine.
Let's do it.
The rule is all slacks, all the time, no exceptions.
I hear that.
I've reached my naked man quota for the year.
Hello?
We'll be there.
Step inside, guys.
Your case just became legitimate.
Consider yourself hired.
I need answers, and I need them quick.
Well, I do have something, chief.
I'm getting...
I'm getting skin pigment.
bronzed, glistening...
adonis-Like skin pigment.
You lead me through this field, You let me ask one question, I guarantee it's going to come down to spray tanning.
Well, this guy's never seen the inside of a tanning salon.
I don't think he ever saw the sun.
You've got 24 hours.
Call me with something.
...time of death.
Looks like we might have to open a kennel for all these copycats.
Well, back to square one.
I don't know, shawn.
Maybe square one is the answer.
Maybe this is something beyond our comprehension, Something otherworldly.
I hear what you're saying.
Do me a favor.
What?
Let go of the alien angle.
We need something solid, gus.
Something...
something concrete.
You heard the chief.
Dude...
how do you feel about leprechauns?
Oh, well, hello, me buckos.
I'm marvin.
Welcome to shenanigans, home of the world-famous blarney stone fajitas.
Hello, marvin.
We're here to speak with the leprechaun.
Ha, ha.
Very funny.
Please stop.
My tummy's aching from laughing so hard.
Do you guys want a table or what?
Dude, give me some props.
He's got a hat with a buckle on it.
Everything is green.
What?
He's not a leprechaun.
Will you do me a favor?
In your funny accent, will you say, "magically delicious"?
Is that the world-Famous clover stamp?
That's the one.
Will you stamp my buddy's wrist?
Whatever floats your boat, man.
It's for our nighttime events there, But hey, you can have it in the daytime, too.
What nighttime events?
We have speed dating here.
Speed dating?
Don't laugh.
It's actually one of our most popular events.
Guys come in here, sign up, they put down 100 bucks, And they get fixed up with all sorts of people on little six-Minute mini-dates Did you say 100 bucks?
100 bucks.
How about 50 bucks for three-Minute dates?
25 bucks for a minute and a half?
I float you a ten spot, You introduce us to somebody for 15 seconds.
How about you guys either get a table Or I'm going to have to ask you to leave the podium.
How about "magically delicious"?
Will you say "magically delicious"?
No, but I can say "police" if you don't get your butts out of here.
Hello there!
I'm marvin.
Welcome to shenanigans.
Home of the world-famous blarney stone fajitas.
Yeah, I tried the speed-dating thing a couple of times.
I just didn't think it had anything to do with the case, And I was a little embarrassed about it.
Wow, you paid 100 bucks?
Mr.
Turk...
we feel it has everything to do with the case, all right?
Both phil keiser and the guy who turned up dead attended these speed-dating events.
Do you rember anything strange happening there, or meeting anyone odd?
The only odd thing was that the ladies didn't take to me like they usually do.
That's beyond odd.
I can't imagine why, fred.
Here's the thing, though-- Other strange things have been happening to me ever since I was at the event.
Like what?
Well, I applied for a job recently.
I was a perfect candidate.
I had several interviews, and then suddenly, after the final one...
I was rejected.
Let me ask you a question, freddy, and please be honest.
Were you on time for these interviews?
Yes.
Why do you ask?
I have no reason.
I think there's a woman involved here who had it out for these guys.
We need to get a first-hand look at this speed-dating phenomenon.
Not for 100 bucks, we don't.
Gus, please.
Leave it to me.
Let me get this straight.
There is a dead body and a murder loose in our city And you want the santa barbara police department To pay for you to go on dates?
Yes, that's correct.
I mean, I suppose we could split it If we had to.
What's that called?
Going...
going deutsch?
We'll go deutsch.
I am not paying for your dating services, Mr.
Spencer.
Here's the catch, chief-- I'm going to be reading these people, Psychically, And I don't need six minutes.
Give me 40 seconds with these people, I'll be able to tell you Iif they had anything to do with the murder, And you know what?
Gus and I, we really did try to negotiate some sort of partial usage rate, But we got shut down by that leprechaun-- Mr.
Spencer, enough.
Wait.
I'm getting something else.
It's a woman...
in sexy high-heeled strappy shoes.
She's roughly 5'2"...
jules, may I please have a pen and something to write on? "
To lassie...on the alpine highway of life" "You are my all-weather tires.
H&ks, shawn."
What the hell is this? "
H&k" stands for "hugs and kisses."
Not that part.
This part.
It's a tire pattern.
Run it through the system, and we'll know what kind of car she drives.
Okay, I'll give you a shot at this, but you're not going alone.
O'hara, I want you to go along with these guys undercover working things from the other side.
See if you can sift any information from these women.
Will do.
Chief, I think that's|the best idea you've ever had.
Shawn, I am so glad you're on board.
Detective lassiter, I'm going to need you too.
We don't know what this woman's type is, and besides, you're now leading the case.
Yeah, you know, chief, with all due respect, I'm really pretty busy working this case from another angle.
I mean, I ran the toxicology reports, and I found that all three victims Tested positive for trace amounts of the street drug g.
H.
B., but our dead guy had a pre-existing heart condition, so there was a pattern.
I think the murder was accidental.
And I like that track.
Now, follow it up By going to the speed-Dating thing.
It's just a date, lassiter.
You do know how to conduct yourself on a date, don't you?
Okay, I checked out your tread pattern.
Thank you.
It's a high-Performance tire manufactured after 2002, So we're looking for a woman Who drives a late-Model sports car, Probably american-Made.
And 5'2" and likes strappy heels.
Check.
Question...
Is that what you're wearing?
What's wrong with what I'm wearing?
I always wear this.
Exactly.
Lassie, you look like a cop.
Now, come on, man...
Is that your holster?
Of course it is.
You're here to speed-date, man, Not shoot somebody.
You got to loosen up.
Come on.
Take off the tie.
I'm not taking fashion tips from you.
You need to show some chest hair.
Chicks dig the sternum bush.
Jules, back me up on the sternum bush.
I'm going to go, see what these women have to say before this thing starts.
Bye, jules.
All right, come on.
Let's go simon cowell.
You got the salt and pepper, man.
It's nice.
I am not taking off my tie just because you tell me to.
Fine.
Suit yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen...
ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming.
For those of you who are new, I will explain how this works, okay?
You will pick a numbered table to begin your first date.
Every six minutes, you will hear...
that will indicate the end of your time together, And your next date will begin.
Now, I know six minutes Is not a long time to get to know someone.
That's why myself and the other staff will use the questionnaires you filled out to match you up.
Okay?
Love is in the air.
I can smell it.
I smell cabbage.
Let the dating begin!
Shawn.
That's a nice name.
Yeah, it's okay.
It's okay.
My last name is...

You know, you could probably change that.
What's your mom's maiden name?
Buzzteets.
Yeah. "
Teets" as in-- Yeah, yeah.
All my ancestry were farmers.
Hey, I was raised on a farm.
No kiddin.
I had this most adorable little pet goat named cassie.
Goat...
yeah.
Did you ever have any pets growing up?
What were their names?
Oh, what's your favorite color?
Move along.
I think these people might have more luck dating If they asked more interesting questions.
I just hope I don't get pile-Driven.
Carlton, I hope this isn't too forward of me but you have kind eyes.
Thank you.
This is uncanny.
I know!
God, you know I never meet anyone I connect with at these things.
that's why I didn't even bother dressing up.
I mean, I've given up a little.
I think you look great.
Thank you.
So...
what kind of car do you drive?
Excuse me?
You drive a sports car?
Mustang, maybe?
2003?
That's kind of a shallow question, isn't it?
Do you like hanging out in fields?
Okay, you know what?
I think this date's over.
No, I've got three minutes left.
Where were you on the night of the 18th?
You know, normally, I would wear a dress.
And heels?
Uh, yeah, I guess.
Maybe.
Like...
open-toed strappy ones?
What?
Huh?
Huh?
Is that what you have in your closet?
A lot of high-heeled shoes?
Do you have a foot fetish?
No!
Look at us.
A couple of kids on a proper date, huh?
You got some goosebumps?
Shawn, this isn't a date.
It's work.
You're absolutely right, but hey...
you've still got six minutes to ask me anything you want.
So, do you want to know ?
What are you dying to know about Shawn Spencer, the man?
Oddly enough, I don't think I have anything I'm dying to know.
Okay, Jules, don't lie, Because lying is unbecoming.
I'll go first.
You, me, Burgess Meredith, Hume Cronyn, Nipsey Russell, deserted island...
Who are you going to sleep with?
So it's you or a bunch of dead guys?
Fair.
I'll give you Scatman Crothers.
Dead.
Filip Wilson?
Also dead.
Donald Pleasence.
None of the above.
None of the above?
Jules, are you kidding me?
You've got...
You're going to miss me, aren't you?
Little bit.
Have fun on your next date.
But I want you to think about that, okay?
Like, if that really happened.
Bye, Shawn.
Go on.
Tell her she looks pretty.
Yeah, no can do.
That's it, people!
You should have completed all your dates.
Please score your cards and check up front at the bar, And we will also tell you who you match from your questionnaires.
Okay?
I'm sorry.
Date's over.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah...
I just haven't been a high heel guy since single white female.
I just...
Yeah.
Thank you.
Dude, I think that Darcy girl Might be the one.
She's the right height, she drives an '04 trans am, and she wears nothing but heels.
How did you find out about the heels?
And she works in pharmaceutical sales, just like you.
Now, would she have access to that GHB stuff?
She certainly would've had access to the drugs to synthesize her own.
That's sweet.
Dude, you got to ask her out.
What, and go out with a possible murderer?
You must be out of your mind.
I'm not doing that.
Gus, I can't see her on a date.
I got to see her in action.
I got to look, I got to listen, I got to feel!
Shawn, if we think it's her, let's tell Lassiter and Juliet, and get them to bring her in.
You see what happens when we blurt out our theories?
We totally whiffed on the tanning salon.
Fine, you go out with her, then.
I would, but she matched up with you.
Oh, give her the sweetness.
Dude, you got to give her the sweetness.
This...
is a speed dating first...
you and you are a 100% match from your personality questionnaires.
I smell love.
Go on.
Come on.
I need a drink.
I got to pee.
Look, I don't know what to say to her.
I ran out of topics on the way over here.
Plus, she keeps wanting to rub my head.
What's up with that?
Gus, everybody wants to rub your head.
Look, you're doing fine.
Okay?
Here, here.
Here's a list of conversation topics, Basic starters.
You got your ball.
Head on over there.
I'm right behind you. "
You're stranded on a deserted island and you have to procreate the species."
Really?
This is gold.
I give you gold.
Shawn?
Detective O'Hara.
Shawn, what are you doing here?
Bowling.
At a high level.
By yourself?
On a saturday night?
I'm in a league.
Semi-Pro.
I could've gone pro, but I made a choice.
I like to get 14, 15 hours of practice in...
a week.
I had no idea you were so serious about bowling.
Wow.
Quite serious, quite serious.
As a matter of fact, Lego wants to sponsor me this year.
Oh, my God.
That's great.
They also want me to wear shoes made out of legos...
so I'm torn.
Well, I don't want to interrupt your practicing.
Yeah, yeah, I should get back.
I'm really not here to mess around.
Oh, my God.
I'm ...
I am so rude.
Uh, Kyle, Shawn.
Shawn, Kyle.
Oh, it's my bowling hand.
There you go.
Uh, shawn works for the police department.
He's a psychic.
Oh, cool.
You're psychic.
Nice.
Can you...can you tell me anything about my future?
Oh, Kyle, please.
That's not really how it works.
Though I am...
I am getting something.
It's...
it's hazy, But I'm sensing that you're going to face a lot of...
hmm.
Rejection.
Work-Wise, or...
No.
No.
Not work-wise.
Not work-wise.
You know what?
I'm going to go.
You kids get back to doing your thing.
You know, she bowled, and you bowled, and she bowled, and then you bowled, and you've got the tight tuck and it's sweet.
It's perfect.
See you, Jules.
Hold on a second.
I'll be right back.
Ok ?
Ok.
Wait !
Where the hell have you been?
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
I ran into somebody.
How you doing?
You okay?
Too okay.
She wants to go back to my place.
Oh, this is great.
We'll get all the information we need there.
No, the problem is I told her I live at the beach.
Why would you tell her that?
I don't know.
I was trying to impress her at the time.
I didn't realize I was going to be dating her, shawn.
Okay, okay, okay.
Let me think.
Dude...
I got it.
You take her to my dad's place.
This is perfect.
Give me a head start.
I'll prep.
I'll cover everything.
Just drive slow, okay?
We can do this.
All right.
Shawn ...
Just listen, just listen.
Just hear me out.
Hear me out.
Listen.
This might actually be fun for us.
What you expect me to stand outside of my own house, in the cold, getting bitten by bugs, so Gus can score with some girl?
I don't think so.
Okay, first of all, not just "some girl", okay?
This dame is a looker.
She's a peach.
She's a spicy tomato.
Huh?
And she may or may not be a murderer.
Oh, see, I knew it.
I knew it.
This has nothing to do with Gus finding a girl.
This is about you using my house so you can conduct a sting operation.
Shawn, it ain't gonna happen.
Okay, what are you doing?
You're putting a negative spin on things, as usual.
Look...
might they have a few more obstacles than your typical couple if she turns out to be a cold-blooded killer?
Sure.
But what if they really fall in love, Dad?
Shawn, you've got about three seconds to get out of my way.
One...
You're cheating.
You're cheating.
Shh, shh.
Quiet, okay?
Shut up.
Shut up.
Please, come in.
Oh!
You lit a fire.
That was fast.
Uh...
Have a seat.
Welcome to my home.
Wow.
You really like fishing.
No.
God, no.
I'm just playing.
Yes, actually, I do love fishing.
Yes.
Love it.
Love me some fishing.
Some wide-mouth bass, some perch...
some sturgeon?
Whoo!
Sturgeon is a fish, right?
Okay, okay.
What is that?
What?
That smell.
It's like...
it's like gardenia with a hint of mango.
What?
Oh, my god.
Did you take a bath?
Yes, Shawn, I took a bath.
With bubbles?
I don't...
It's this new soap that I'm using.
It...
It foams more. "
It foams more"?
Dad, it's called "bubble bath."
Well, I don't think it's officially called "bubble bath" If the bubbles happened accidentally, but whatever, Shawn.
Who are you?
Where's my father?
I've accused you of being a lot of things in my lifetime, but metrosexual was never one of them.
Seriously, what's up...
I am not a metrosexual.
I just happen to be an average joe who is concerned about his health and appearance.
I have taken baths for years, Shawn.
That is where I think.
I have solved dozens and dozens of gruesome, gruesome murder cases sitting in a tub.
F.Y.I., historically, real men have always taken baths.
Name one.
John Wayne.
Rio bravo.
Bath.
You got anybody since the old west?
What was...
What was that?
That's my roast.
It's done.
You made a roast?
Oh, for Christ sakes, Shawn.
It's not a quiche.
It's man food.
I would have gladly gone out and hunted it and killed it If I had the time, and unless you get out of my way, I am going to kill you.
You can't go in there.
You'll compromise this entire investigation.
The only thing compromised is my pot roast.
It is drying out as we speak.
Please?
No, Dad.
No.
Please, kids, Pay no mind.
Just passing through to the kitchen.
Got to squeeze some juices on my roast.
Gus?
Oh, that's...
Henry.
He's my...
my roommate.
Yeah, he's just making...
making a roast?
All done.
All done.
Just had to...
Okay...
Look, it's fine that you have a roommate, but honestly, it's cramping our style.
It is?
What do you say we go somewhere more private? "
Private" like where?
I know a back road that leads to a field.
We could park the car...
Uh, yeah, I don't think we should go to the field.
Why?
Why?
Um...
You don't like me.
That's it, isn't it?
No, no.
My hay fever.
My hay fever.
The last place my nasal passages want to be is the field.
She's not your killer, Shawn.
Look at this girl's eyes, huh?
They're sincere.
You don't think I'm pretty.
What?
You...
You just felt bad, because we matched up at the speed dating and you didn't know what to say, so you pretended.
Wow, you put all that together, huh?
Those are real tears, Shawn.
You're right.
That's real snot.
Hello?
Lassie?
You what?
I don't...
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dad...
Dad, Dad, Dad.
I got to go.
Whoa, whoa.
What do you mean, you got to go?
You got this covered.
This poor girl is there, weeping on your best friend's shoulder In my house, and you're leaving?
What do you have done ?
What am I supposed to do?
I know, I know.
It's a tough one.
It's a real thinker.
Uh...
uh...
I got it.
Draw yourself another bath.
Shawn.
Shawn.
Picked him up a couple of hours ago.
Found him loitering outside one of the speed-dater's homes.
When lassiter checked his place, he found a stack of the questionnaires in his apartment.
Tell me about these...
Marvin.
Look, I don't know anything about any crime.
I just ...
I used the names and the numbers to get dates, man, that's it.
I don't have 100 bucks to slap down on some entrance fee, not on my crap salary, so, yeah...
and besides, that's why they go there.
They go there for dates, right?
So why not me?
Why don't you think about that while you're trying to take a crap in front of six other guys?
Look, okay?
Come on, all right?
All I did was I took some questionnaires out of the trash.
That's it.
What's the charge? "
Not littering"?
So if you don't have anything more, I'd like to get to work.
Think he's telling the truth?
Not by a long shot.
And look at him.
He's not the right height.
He doesn't even own a car.
I mean, he can't match the tire tread.
He's cocky.
He thinks he's on a roll, but I'm inside his head, chief, and I'm about to hang a Lopez around the frontal lobe and shoot right out of his nose onto his vest.
You smell where I'm steppi
Stop.
Turn around.
Turn around.
What are you hiding?
Did you get in a fight, shawn?
Kinda.
Kinda ?
What do you mean, kinda ?
What did I tell you about fighting ?
Get over here, son.
Let me take a look at that.
You really got punched.
All right, tell me...
what's the name of this kid who hit you?
Elizabeth.
You got in a fight with a girl?
It wasn't really a fight.
She just punched me.
Well, why in the world would she punch you?
What...
what happened?
She asked me to sit next to her at lunch, and I did, And then I was eating my tater tots, Then she just punched me.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
What was she doing while you were eating your tater tots?
I don't know.
She was talking about something.
What?
What was she talking about?
I have no idea.
She just went on and on, and I was concentrating on my tater tots.
Well, I'll be damned.
Shawn, I know what happened.
You just had your first date.
Sit.
Sit.
My first what?
Look, obviously, this elizabeth girl likes you.
That's why she invited you over to sit next to her.
Then why did she sock me in the eye?
Because she likes you, and you didn't listen to her story.
Women want you to listen to them, shawn.
They want you to pick up every small detail, and they want you to compliment them.
It's about tuning in to people.
It's about getting inside their heads And anticipating their needs, And this applies to all aspects of life-- Not only this girl, Elizabeth, but...even your barber.
But I don't want to date the barber.
Shawn, I know that one day all of this is going to make sense to you.
You just have to believe me.
But for now, I'm going to leave you with one very simple rule-- Under no circumstances, ever...
ever do you mention to a woman her age or her weight.
Nobody breathe.
I've got it.
I've got it in grams.
I've got it in minutes.
Just give me a second here to do a little converting.
I got it.
37 years old.
127 pounds.
That was amazing.
How did you do that?
I have to admit, though, sadly, It's just a teensy bit higher in the weight department.
You know what?
That's my bad.
I believe I was getting a "future reading" from next week.
It happens.
I apologize.
Wait...
I'm also getting a dance belt...
you are my head detective.
And fishnet stockings.
But that's this guy.
That's this guy here.
Shawn.
Shawn.
I'm kidding.
You're such a good sport everybody loves you.
Hey, spencer...
lassie-Face!
I've got the perfect case for you guys.
I'm sorry, you're saying that you want our help?
Yeah.
What's the catch?
There's no catch.
It's just right up your alley.
I could really use your insights on this one.
Guy's waiting to give you a statement.
Interrogation room "b."
Make me proud.
Okay...
what does that sound like to you?
Opportunity.
No.
You think lassiter is going to just hand us over a case?
Stop, let's think about this for a minute.
Gus, come on.
What?
We're going to roll up our sleeves we're going to get a little bit dirty And we're going to do some old-fashioned police work.
Come on, this is like in the heat of the night Which makes me carroll o'connor.
No, that means you're rod steiger.
That way, I'm sidney poitier.
You know that's right.
Oh!
Boy...
Looks like somebody beat us to the rolling up the sleeves.
No.
What are you doing?
What?
This is our case.
He's naked.
I'm going to work it from the outside.
We've got to work the room.
You can work it from in here.
Now, shut the door.
Mr...
turk, is it?
My name's shawn spencer.
I'm the head "p" for the sbpd.
You're the who for the what?
Don't concern yourself with formalities, mr.
Turk.
I'm here to take your statement, find out just what exactly happened to you.
Well, I don't really remember much.
Funny...
it says here you told the desk sergeant you woke up naked in a field with your ass hanging out.
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, I don't remember exactly what they look like.
You know, it's all really confusing for me right now.
When you say "they just", who are you referring to?
The aliens.
See?
Right, aliens.
Here it is.
Page two.
Got it.
How would you describe these aliens,mr.
Turk?
Would you say they were small?
Would you say they were green?
I- I don't really recall right now.
I've got this headache, and...
who is that person over there?
Because he's really making me uncomfortable.
I'm makingyouuncomfortable right now?
Dude, is there any reason why you're not wearing clothes now?
Hey, I think I might have been abducted, all right?
I believe I might've been experimented on so there's no way I'm going to touch these clothes and compromise evidence!
Okay, okay, mr.
Turk.
Please, try to gain control of your considerable person.
Why don't you cover up with a towel.
That's why it's there.
One size fits all...
I hope.
All right.
I'll cover up with the towel, but first...
does somebody want to check me for scars?
Oh, good lord!
O/~ I know you know that I'm not telling the truth o/~ O/~ I know you know they just don't have any proof o/~ O/~ embrace the deception o/~ O/~ learn how to bend o/~ O/~ your worst inhibitions o/~ O/~ they will psych you out in the end o/~ Are you really willing to just dismiss the idea that there's life on other planets ?
This is what I've got.
I know he was dragged out there.
Otherwise, no sign of assault, Nothing taken...
aside from the embarrassment of waking up naked|in a field We've got nothing to hang our hats on.
I guess technically We could have hung our hats on it.
Shawn.
Sure.
Look, if it's not the alien thing, Then how do you explain The memory loss the confusion, the fact that he saw a little green man?
Hallucinations.
No.
What?
Dude, you're the expert here.
Come on, man, there's got to be some drug that would cause a combination of those three things.
Think.
Drugs !
Oh, you're asking me?
Sure.
Well...
let me see.
Off the top of my head Any SSRIS, tramadol, bupropion proton pump inhibitors...
That's what I'm talking about.
Thank you.
Venlafaxine, ropinirole...
that's good work, buddy.
B- Adrenoreceptor antagonists...
Okay, gold star for gus.
Phencyclidine, ketamine, bufotenine...
You're not going to stop, are you?
Did I already say venlafaxine?
There's no way to be sure.
Wait, wait a second.
Didn't he say something to you about...
about smelling lavender?
He said right before he blacked out He rembered the strong scent of lavender and seeing, uh..
Barbed Wire.
Right.
Wait a second.
Gus, that's not a hallucination.
That's a location.
That's what I'm saying.
And I know exactly where it is.
Dude, I've driven by this place at least twice.
The question is, what are|the cops doing here?
Johnny.
Oh.
Look, I saw the picture of that turk guy in the paper.
Now it's me in a field naked?
Headache?
You do the math.
Do you rember seeing anything out of the ordinary?
Uh...
I don't remember much at all.
So you just woke up in a field wearing nothing but your birthday suit.
Look, I told you yes already.
Are you going to give me a hard time?
'Cause I'm a little freaked out as it is.
And can somebody get me a bigger towel?
This thing is like the size of a wash cloth.
What are you, some kind of pervert?
Cut him some slack.
He's just doing his job.
You think he gets his jollies taking pictures of your ding-dong?
Lassie!
What are you guys doing here?
This is my case.
You gave it to me, rember?
Look, it's a copycat, okay?
He saw turk's picture in the paper.
He's looking for attention.
So he wakes up and sees turk in the paper naked humiliated,the butt of jokes at the water cooler and says, "hmm.
How can I make this work for myself?
What?
Plus, it's really itchy out here.
When you get your master's degree in criminology, Then you can call me.
In the meantime, I've got a half-eaten enchirito in my car.
All right, here we go.
You're up.
What?
Do it.
I'm not doing that.
Dude...
I took the fat guy in the police station.
I'm not doing that.
This is a much better...
I'm not doing that.
We're partners.
Gus!
What does this case have to do with a tanning salon?
It's the middle of winter in santa barbara.
Those dudes looked like gingerbread men, without tan lines.
They fake and they bake.
Shawn, exactly how closely did you look at these naked guys?
Too close.
My heightened observational skills are considered a gift by most, But I'm here to tell you it can be a burden.
How do you know it's this place?
Keiser didn't have any streaks on his buttocks, okay?
That screams the insta-Tan process, And this is the only place that does that.
Right.
Plus, they both live within a mile and a half of this joint.
I can't ring this.
Hello!
Hello!
Look, I'm going to snoop around, okay?
You find out if turk or keiser were here, and if so, when.
Oh, shawn, shawn.
This is not going to work.
Dude, I've got to do my thing.
I've got to mix it up nice.
But...
You always complain you don't get to do the questiony part.
Questiony part...
gus.
Right, but...
you're forgetting something-- May I help you?
Yes.
I'm here for a tanning appointment.
For yourself?
Yes, for the...
insta-Tan process.
I would like that.
But...
what?
Well, you're...
yes.
Uh, I don't understand.
Okay, look, screw it.
I can't do it.
Have you seen either of these two guys here before?
Fred turk or philip keiser?
Shawn.
Shawn.
Okay, both turk and keiser not only have been here, But they're regulars.
He says it's always the single guys who try to keep up with their tans.
Single guys.
Yeah.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe some woman is targeting singles at the salon.
The question is, what kind of a oser thinks getting a tan Is going to help him score a woman?
Dad?
Dad, what are you doing here?
The real question is, what are you doing here?
Well, george hamilton, we're on a case...
or maybe you missed the pictures of the guys in the paper in the fields...
yes, of course I saw the nudists.
Guy in the field thinks he was abducted by aliens.
Idiot.
What does that have to do with this place?
Well, they're both regulars here.
They both happen to be single So this could be a stalking case.
Wait a second.
Your dad is single and he comes here all the time.
Everybody comes here.
What is that?
What?
Exfoliating scrub...
with pumice.
Whatever, shawn.
All I know is when I varnish my boat and I don't want it to streak, I sand off a layer first.
Same thing goes with tanning.
That is the single most disturbing analogy I have ever heard in my entire life.
Where are they?
Who?
The queer eye guys.
I know they're here somewhere.
Gus, what are their names?
How am I supposed to know, Shawn?
Carson and jai...
and the guy with the glasses.
Who cooks a fish.
Right.
Shawn, you know what your real problem is?
You got yourself another case, and, as usual, you're short-sighted.
You think it's all impressive, Cause you see a couple of nude guys in a field, You put a fix on 'em here.
Well, it's not enough.
This is what we know-- Both these guys are trying to impress someone, Which means a woman was involved, And that same woman was with them in the field.
Shawn saw a woman's shoe strap In the field.
How or why she connects to them, I just...
I just don't know yet.
Well, you're not looking close enough.
Believe me, I've looked just about as close as I can bear.
I'm with you on the aliens thing.
They're here, and they've swapped out my father with jose eber.
I think your dad might be right.
I think we should get turk and keiser In the same room and actually ask them some questions.
Fine.
Let's do it.
The rule is all slacks, all the time, no exceptions.
I hear that.
I've reached my naked man quota for the year.
Hello?
We'll be there.
Step inside, guys.
Your case just became legitimate.
Consider yourself hired.
I need answers, and I need them quick.
Well, I do have something, chief.
I'm getting...
I'm getting skin pigment.
bronzed, glistening...
adonis-Like skin pigment.
You lead me through this field, You let me ask one question, I guarantee it's going to come down to spray tanning.
Well, this guy's never seen the inside of a tanning salon.
I don't think he ever saw the sun.
You've got 24 hours.
Call me with something.
...time of death.
Looks like we might have to open a kennel for all these copycats.
Well, back to square one.
I don't know, shawn.
Maybe square one is the answer.
Maybe this is something beyond our comprehension, Something otherworldly.
I hear what you're saying.
Do me a favor.
What?
Let go of the alien angle.
We need something solid, gus.
Something...
something concrete.
You heard the chief.
Dude...
how do you feel about leprechauns?
Oh, well, hello, me buckos.
I'm marvin.
Welcome to shenanigans, home of the world-famous blarney stone fajitas.
Hello, marvin.
We're here to speak with the leprechaun.
Ha, ha.
Very funny.
Please stop.
My tummy's aching from laughing so hard.
Do you guys want a table or what?
Dude, give me some props.
He's got a hat with a buckle on it.
Everything is green.
What?
He's not a leprechaun.
Will you do me a favor?
In your funny accent, will you say, "magically delicious"?
Is that the world-Famous clover stamp?
That's the one.
Will you stamp my buddy's wrist?
Whatever floats your boat, man.
It's for our nighttime events there, But hey, you can have it in the daytime, too.
What nighttime events?
We have speed dating here.
Speed dating?
Don't laugh.
It's actually one of our most popular events.
Guys come in here, sign up, they put down 100 bucks, And they get fixed up with all sorts of people on little six-Minute mini-dates Did you say 100 bucks?
100 bucks.
How about 50 bucks for three-Minute dates?
25 bucks for a minute and a half?
I float you a ten spot, You introduce us to somebody for 15 seconds.
How about you guys either get a table Or I'm going to have to ask you to leave the podium.
How about "magically delicious"?
Will you say "magically delicious"?
No, but I can say "police" if you don't get your butts out of here.
Hello there!
I'm marvin.
Welcome to shenanigans.
Home of the world-famous blarney stone fajitas.
Yeah, I tried the speed-dating thing a couple of times.
I just didn't think it had anything to do with the case, And I was a little embarrassed about it.
Wow, you paid 100 bucks?
Mr.
Turk...
we feel it has everything to do with the case, all right?
Both phil keiser and the guy who turned up dead attended these speed-dating events.
Do you rember anything strange happening there, or meeting anyone odd?
The only odd thing was that the ladies didn't take to me like they usually do.
That's beyond odd.
I can't imagine why, fred.
Here's the thing, though-- Other strange things have been happening to me ever since I was at the event.
Like what?
Well, I applied for a job recently.
I was a perfect candidate.
I had several interviews, and then suddenly, after the final one...
I was rejected.
Let me ask you a question, freddy, and please be honest.
Were you on time for these interviews?
Yes.
Why do you ask?
I have no reason.
I think there's a woman involved here who had it out for these guys.
We need to get a first-hand look at this speed-dating phenomenon.
Not for 100 bucks, we don't.
Gus, please.
Leave it to me.
Let me get this straight.
There is a dead body and a murder loose in our city And you want the santa barbara police department To pay for you to go on dates?
Yes, that's correct.
I mean, I suppose we could split it If we had to.
What's that called?
Going...
going deutsch?
We'll go deutsch.
I am not paying for your dating services, Mr.
Spencer.
Here's the catch, chief-- I'm going to be reading these people, Psychically, And I don't need six minutes.
Give me 40 seconds with these people, I'll be able to tell you Iif they had anything to do with the murder, And you know what?
Gus and I, we really did try to negotiate some sort of partial usage rate, But we got shut down by that leprechaun-- Mr.
Spencer, enough.
Wait.
I'm getting something else.
It's a woman...
in sexy high-heeled strappy shoes.
She's roughly 5'2"...
jules, may I please have a pen and something to write on? "
To lassie...on the alpine highway of life" "You are my all-weather tires.
H&ks, shawn."
What the hell is this? "
H&k" stands for "hugs and kisses."
Not that part.
This part.
It's a tire pattern.
Run it through the system, and we'll know what kind of car she drives.
Okay, I'll give you a shot at this, but you're not going alone.
O'hara, I want you to go along with these guys undercover working things from the other side.
See if you can sift any information from these women.
Will do.
Chief, I think that's|the best idea you've ever had.
Shawn, I am so glad you're on board.
Detective lassiter, I'm going to need you too.
We don't know what this woman's type is, and besides, you're now leading the case.
Yeah, you know, chief, with all due respect, I'm really pretty busy working this case from another angle.
I mean, I ran the toxicology reports, and I found that all three victims Tested positive for trace amounts of the street drug g.
H.
B., but our dead guy had a pre-existing heart condition, so there was a pattern.
I think the murder was accidental.
And I like that track.
Now, follow it up By going to the speed-Dating thing.
It's just a date, lassiter.
You do know how to conduct yourself on a date, don't you?
Okay, I checked out your tread pattern.
Thank you.
It's a high-Performance tire manufactured after 2002, So we're looking for a woman Who drives a late-Model sports car, Probably american-Made.
And 5'2" and likes strappy heels.
Check.
Question...
Is that what you're wearing?
What's wrong with what I'm wearing?
I always wear this.
Exactly.
Lassie, you look like a cop.
Now, come on, man...
Is that your holster?
Of course it is.
You're here to speed-date, man, Not shoot somebody.
You got to loosen up.
Come on.
Take off the tie.
I'm not taking fashion tips from you.
You need to show some chest hair.
Chicks dig the sternum bush.
Jules, back me up on the sternum bush.
I'm going to go, see what these women have to say before this thing starts.
Bye, jules.
All right, come on.
Let's go simon cowell.
You got the salt and pepper, man.
It's nice.
I am not taking off my tie just because you tell me to.
Fine.
Suit yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen...
ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming.
For those of you who are new, I will explain how this works, okay?
You will pick a numbered table to begin your first date.
Every six minutes, you will hear...
that will indicate the end of your time together, And your next date will begin.
Now, I know six minutes Is not a long time to get to know someone.
That's why myself and the other staff will use the questionnaires you filled out to match you up.
Okay?
Love is in the air.
I can smell it.
I smell cabbage.
Let the dating begin!
Shawn.
That's a nice name.
Yeah, it's okay.
It's okay.
My last name is...
ulfeninderheinie.
Yeah, it's been a tough life.
Wow.
Kids can be cruel.
Yeah.
You know, you could probably change that.
What's your mom's maiden name?
Buzzteets.
Yeah. "
Teets" as in-- Yeah, yeah.
All my ancestry were farmers.
Hey, I was raised on a farm.
No kiddin.
I had this most adorable little pet goat named cassie.
Goat...
yeah.
Did you ever have any pets growing up?
What were their names?
Oh, what's your favorite color?
Move along.
I think these people might have more luck dating If they asked more interesting questions.
I just hope I don't get pile-Driven.
Carlton, I hope this isn't too forward of me but you have kind eyes.
Thank you.
This is uncanny.
I know!
God, you know I never meet anyone I connect with at these things.
that's why I didn't even bother dressing up.
I mean, I've given up a little.
I think you look great.
Thank you.
So...
what kind of car do you drive?
Excuse me?
You drive a sports car?
Mustang, maybe?
2003?
That's kind of a shallow question, isn't it?
Do you like hanging out in fields?
Okay, you know what?
I think this date's over.
No, I've got three minutes left.
Where were you on the night of the 18th?
You know, normally, I would wear a dress.
And heels?
Uh, yeah, I guess.
Maybe.
Like...
open-toed strappy ones?
What?
Huh?
Huh?
Is that what you have in your closet?
A lot of high-heeled shoes?
Do you have a foot fetish?
No!
Look at us.
A couple of kids on a proper date, huh?
You got some goosebumps?
Shawn, this isn't a date.
It's work.
You're absolutely right, but hey...
you've still got six minutes to ask me anything you want.
So, do you want to know ?
What are you dying to know about Shawn Spencer, the man?
Oddly enough, I don't think I have anything I'm dying to know.
Okay, Jules, don't lie, Because lying is unbecoming.
I'll go first.
You, me, Burgess Meredith, Hume Cronyn, Nipsey Russell, deserted island...
Who are you going to sleep with?
So it's you or a bunch of dead guys?
Fair.
I'll give you Scatman Crothers.
Dead.
Filip Wilson?
Also dead.
Donald Pleasence.
None of the above.
None of the above?
Jules, are you kidding me?
You've got...
You're going to miss me, aren't you?
Little bit.
Have fun on your next date.
But I want you to think about that, okay?
Like, if that really happened.
Bye, Shawn.
Go on.
Tell her she looks pretty.
Yeah, no can do.
That's it, people!
You should have completed all your dates.
Please score your cards and check up front at the bar, And we will also tell you who you match from your questionnaires.
Okay?
I'm sorry.
Date's over.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah...
I just haven't been a high heel guy since single white female.
I just...
Yeah.
Thank you.
Dude, I think that Darcy girl Might be the one.
She's the right height, she drives an '04 trans am, and she wears nothing but heels.
How did you find out about the heels?
And she works in pharmaceutical sales, just like you.
Now, would she have access to that GHB stuff?
She certainly would've had access to the drugs to synthesize her own.
That's sweet.
Dude, you got to ask her out.
What, and go out with a possible murderer?
You must be out of your mind.
I'm not doing that.
Gus, I can't see her on a date.
I got to see her in action.
I got to look, I got to listen, I got to feel!
Shawn, if we think it's her, let's tell Lassiter and Juliet, and get them to bring her in.
You see what happens when we blurt out our theories?
We totally whiffed on the tanning salon.
Fine, you go out with her, then.
I would, but she matched up with you.
Oh, give her the sweetness.
Dude, you got to give her the sweetness.
This...
is a speed dating first...
you and you are a 100% match from your personality questionnaires.
I smell love.
Go on.
Come on.
I need a drink.
I got to pee.
Look, I don't know what to say to her.
I ran out of topics on the way over here.
Plus, she keeps wanting to rub my head.
What's up with that?
Gus, everybody wants to rub your head.
Look, you're doing fine.
Okay?
Here, here.
Here's a list of conversation topics, Basic starters.
You got your ball.
Head on over there.
I'm right behind you. "
You're stranded on a deserted island and you have to procreate the species."
Really?
This is gold.
I give you gold.
Shawn?
Detective O'Hara.
Shawn, what are you doing here?
Bowling.
At a high level.
By yourself?
On a saturday night?
I'm in a league.
Semi-Pro.
I could've gone pro, but I made a choice.
I like to get 14, 15 hours of practice in...
a week.
I had no idea you were so serious about bowling.
Wow.
Quite serious, quite serious.
As a matter of fact, Lego wants to sponsor me this year.
Oh, my God.
That's great.
They also want me to wear shoes made out of legos...
so I'm torn.
Well, I don't want to interrupt your practicing.
Yeah, yeah, I should get back.
I'm really not here to mess around.
Oh, my God.
I'm ...
I am so rude.
Uh, Kyle, Shawn.
Shawn, Kyle.
Oh, it's my bowling hand.
There you go.
Uh, shawn works for the police department.
He's a psychic.
Oh, cool.
You're psychic.
Nice.
Can you...can you tell me anything about my future?
Oh, Kyle, please.
That's not really how it works.
Though I am...
I am getting something.
It's...
it's hazy, But I'm sensing that you're going to face a lot of...
hmm.
Rejection.
Work-Wise, or...
No.
No.
Not work-wise.
Not work-wise.
You know what?
I'm going to go.
You kids get back to doing your thing.
You know, she bowled, and you bowled, and she bowled, and then you bowled, and you've got the tight tuck and it's sweet.
It's perfect.
See you, Jules.
Hold on a second.
I'll be right back.
Ok ?
Ok.
Wait !
Where the hell have you been?
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
I ran into somebody.
How you doing?
You okay?
Too okay.
She wants to go back to my place.
Oh, this is great.
We'll get all the information we need there.
No, the problem is I told her I live at the beach.
Why would you tell her that?
I don't know.
I was trying to impress her at the time.
I didn't realize I was going to be dating her, shawn.
Okay, okay, okay.
Let me think.
Dude...
I got it.
You take her to my dad's place.
This is perfect.
Give me a head start.
I'll prep.
I'll cover everything.
Just drive slow, okay?
We can do this.
All right.
Shawn ...
Just listen, just listen.
Just hear me out.
Hear me out.
Listen.
This might actually be fun for us.
What you expect me to stand outside of my own house, in the cold, getting bitten by bugs, so Gus can score with some girl?
I don't think so.
Okay, first of all, not just "some girl", okay?
This dame is a looker.
She's a peach.
She's a spicy tomato.
Huh?
And she may or may not be a murderer.
Oh, see, I knew it.
I knew it.
This has nothing to do with Gus finding a girl.
This is about you using my house so you can conduct a sting operation.
Shawn, it ain't gonna happen.
Okay, what are you doing?
You're putting a negative spin on things, as usual.
Look...
might they have a few more obstacles than your typical couple if she turns out to be a cold-blooded killer?
Sure.
But what if they really fall in love, Dad?
Shawn, you've got about three seconds to get out of my way.
One...
You're cheating.
You're cheating.
Shh, shh.
Quiet, okay?
Shut up.
Shut up.
Please, come in.
Oh!
You lit a fire.
That was fast.
Uh...
Have a seat.
Welcome to my home.
Wow.
You really like fishing.
No.
God, no.
I'm just playing.
Yes, actually, I do love fishing.
Yes.
Love it.
Love me some fishing.
Some wide-mouth bass, some perch...
some sturgeon?
Whoo!
Sturgeon is a fish, right?
Okay, okay.
What is that?
What?
That smell.
It's like...
it's like gardenia with a hint of mango.
What?
Oh, my god.
Did you take a bath?
Yes, Shawn, I took a bath.
With bubbles?
I don't...
It's this new soap that I'm using.
It...
It foams more. "
It foams more"?
Dad, it's called "bubble bath."
Well, I don't think it's officially called "bubble bath" If the bubbles happened accidentally, but whatever, Shawn.
Who are you?
Where's my father?
I've accused you of being a lot of things in my lifetime, but metrosexual was never one of them.
Seriously, what's up...
I am not a metrosexual.
I just happen to be an average joe who is concerned about his health and appearance.
I have taken baths for years, Shawn.
That is where I think.
I have solved dozens and dozens of gruesome, gruesome murder cases sitting in a tub.
F.Y.I., historically, real men have always taken baths.
Name one.
John Wayne.
Rio bravo.
Bath.
You got anybody since the old west?
What was...
What was that?
That's my roast.
It's done.
You made a roast?
Oh, for Christ sakes, Shawn.
It's not a quiche.
It's man food.
I would have gladly gone out and hunted it and killed it If I had the time, and unless you get out of my way, I am going to kill you.
You can't go in there.
You'll compromise this entire investigation.
The only thing compromised is my pot roast.
It is drying out as we speak.
Please?
No, Dad.
No.
Please, kids, Pay no mind.
Just passing through to the kitchen.
Got to squeeze some juices on my roast.
Gus?
Oh, that's...
Henry.
He's my...
my roommate.
Yeah, he's just making...
making a roast?
All done.
All done.
Just had to...
Okay...
Look, it's fine that you have a roommate, but honestly, it's cramping our style.
It is?
What do you say we go somewhere more private? "
Private" like where?
I know a back road that leads to a field.
We could park the car...
Uh, yeah, I don't think we should go to the field.
Why?
Why?
Um...
You don't like me.
That's it, isn't it?
No, no.
My hay fever.
My hay fever.
The last place my nasal passages want to be is the field.
She's not your killer, Shawn.
Look at this girl's eyes, huh?
They're sincere.
You don't think I'm pretty.
What?
You...
You just felt bad, because we matched up at the speed dating and you didn't know what to say, so you pretended.
Wow, you put all that together, huh?
Those are real tears, Shawn.
You're right.
That's real snot.
Hello?
Lassie?
You what?
I don't...
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dad...
Dad, Dad, Dad.
I got to go.
Whoa, whoa.
What do you mean, you got to go?
You got this covered.
This poor girl is there, weeping on your best friend's shoulder In my house, and you're leaving?
What do you have done ?
What am I supposed to do?
I know, I know.
It's a tough one.
It's a real thinker.
Uh...
uh...
I got it.
Draw yourself another bath.
Shawn.
Shawn.
Picked him up a couple of hours ago.
Found him loitering outside one of the speed-dater's homes.
When lassiter checked his place, he found a stack of the questionnaires in his apartment.
Tell me about these...
Marvin.
Look, I don't know anything about any crime.
I just ...
I used the names and the numbers to get dates, man, that's it.
I don't have 100 bucks to slap down on some entrance fee, not on my crap salary, so, yeah...
and besides, that's why they go there.
They go there for dates, right?
So why not me?
Why don't you think about that while you're trying to take a crap in front of six other guys?
Look, okay?
Come on, all right?
All I did was I took some questionnaires out of the trash.
That's it.
What's the charge? "
Not littering"?
So if you don't have anything more, I'd like to get to work.
Think he's telling the truth?
Not by a long shot.
And look at him.
He's not the right height.
He doesn't even own a car.
I mean, he can't match the tire tread.
He's cocky.
He thinks he's on a roll, but I'm inside his head, chief, and I'm about to hang a Lopez around the frontal lobe and shoot right out of his nose onto his vest.
You smell where I'm steppi
