- Dad?
- Yes, Carlton?
- There's something I gotta know,
and I don't want you to spare my feelings.
I can handle the truth.
- Okay, son. You have my word.
What's on your mind?
- When I grow up, will I be able to grow a beard like that?
- You're a Lassiter, and Lassiter men have been
growing legendary face wigs for generations.
It's a king's beard born in your blood,
perfected through centuries.
But never forget, it's not the beard that makes the king.
- I know, I know. It's the queen.
- That's right, son.
We're almost there.
[ominous music]
# #
- Dad?
Dad?
Dad, where are you?
# #
Don't leave me!
Dad!
This is Chief Lassiter.
Shots fired.
I'm down.
I have been ambushed and shot multiple times.
I need backup... immediately.
# #
[groans]
Hold it.
Please, I have a family.
[gun clicks]
[sinister music]
# #
- Carlton, do you even remember why you're here?
Think, son. Think.
# #
[gunshot]
- We have an officer down. All units respond.
2016 Arkenstone Road. Situation critical.
Suspect still at large. Approach with extreme caution.
Both: Surprise!
- Ah! - Surprise, surprise!
- What is wrong with you two?
- Check it out.
- What is that? - That is a gift for you.
[whines]
Meet Morrissey the rescue dog,
here to rescue you from your own handsomeness.
- That dog's Chief Vick's. - He was.
- He kept biting her daughter.
- Affection gnawing is what the vet called it.
- He called it rabies, Shawn.
- Either way, the Chief, Gus, and I have come
to a little agreement.
- She set him loose in my office
and sped away in her car.
- Then you called us to come down here
and the whole thing just felt like a win-win.
- That dog is eating my foot.
- Morrissey! - Stop it.
- Psst. - Stop it.
- Fsst. - Stop it.
- Excuse me, Carlton, I didn't realize
you had visitors.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry, no pets.
- Pets? I'm sorry, I...
[whines]
Oh! That's Morrissey.
He's a therapy dog.
- Does he have a vest?
- He does, though, he prefers to call it a "waistcoat."
I think you'll find it all checks out.
- Hmm.
This an old Theraflu T-shirt
with tape over the "flu" and "py" in Sharpie.
- You're good.
One point for you, Dolores. [chuckles]
My name is Shawn Spencer
and this is my partner Bill Poopingtons.
- No. Shawn?
- What? - Sidebar.
- All right.
- Carlton, what is happening right now?
- Let it go. - Yes.
- Bill Poopingtons. What kind of nickname is that?
- Transylvania Dutch. Why?
- No, Shawn.
No more embarrassing nicknames,
especially in front of peers and professionals.
- Gus, don't be the night
your dad fell asleep inside your mom.
We can't just stop doing bits
we've been doing for ten years.
We have fans; they have expectations.
There'll be a huge backlash.
- Shawn, we are two dumbasses. We do not have fans.
- [clicks tongue]
- From now on, I do the nicknames.
- No, no, no. Absolutely not.
That's disgusting.
Counterproposal: you have right of refusal
until we land on one you like.
- It's a Band-Aid, but okay for now.
- I'm terribly sorry, Dolores.
What I meant to say was, my name is Shawn Spencer
and this is my full-fledged partner All-The-Pips-In-One.
- Accepted. Hello.
- Could you fellas take a little walk with me?
[clicks tongue] - Hmm.
Lassie, is that what I think it is?
[laughs]
- Guys, I love animals, but I'm sure you know
what a prestigious place the Herschel House is.
- We do, but let me just say, although the dog
is not fully certified and ate one of the two gas pedals
in our car on the way down here...
- Two what?
- We had hoped that this visit alone would
start to help Carlton heal his tangled memories.
He's a tough man with the thick skin
of a northern white rhino,
but the heart of a smaller, less-white rhino.
- I know, and you're right, um...
- It's Burton, but you can call me Jermajesty
or whatever you'd like, Dolores.
- Well, Jermajesty, I am gonna kick myself
for falling prey to a dapper, smooth-talking,
devil's food cookie with a perfect cranium,
but I'll make the exception.
- "Dapper" and "smooth-talking,"
that doesn't sound right.
- Mr. Wilkerson, beautiful day.
Okay, dog stays, but he's on a very short leash.
Short leash. [laughs]
And, in exchange, you guys can tell me why
you're really here.
- Damn, she's good. - Yeah.
- All right, Lassie called us last night.
He's seeing things.
- Ghosts. - Not necessarily ghosts.
- But probably ghosts.
- But there's a lot of strange stuff
going on around here:
eerie voices in pipes, bodies being dragged
out into the woods at night, black Jell-O.
- We're checking to see if this joint was built
on an Indian burial ground.
- Uh, it was built on an old Kmart,
and he's never mentioned a word of this to me.
- That's because he doesn't want anyone to know.
We've sworn silence.
Shawn can't tell his wife.
My girlfriend thinks I'm working a double shift.
I can't even take her calls.
- Well, you can't take her calls,
because you downloaded a rogue app
that changes all of your emojis
into little Jamaicans.
Seventeen viruses. - I see.
So you have a girlfriend? - I do.
- Dolores, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I only said "black Jell-O" because that was Gus' nickname
in our adult dodgeball league.
- Mm.
- And Lassie's terrified that he's going crazy.
Anyone finds out, it could cost him his job,
his dignity, maybe even his family.
- Carlton doesn't even remember why he went
to that abandoned building.
His only recollection of his shooter is a silhouette,
he's on nine different medications,
and as you both know, he suffered a massive stroke
during surgery.
So of course he's seeing things,
but feeding into these fantasies
is the least helpful thing you can do right now, okay?
Now, I know this goofy little white guy,
sexy black dude routine the two of you have going
like the back of my scrubs.
But you really wanna help?
Just be the grown men that you are.
- Okay, what is going on here?
- What, Dolores?
- The nurse from "Color of Night"
fawning all over you.
- I don't know, maybe she's attractive,
but, Shawn, I'm with Selene now.
I can't keep track of every shorty
that wants what they can't have.
[chuckles]
- Where the hell have you two been?
- Sorry, Lassie.
We were on our way up the stairs
when Gus spotted a Jamba right across the street.
We made it happen. Where's the dog?
- He jumped out the window
the second you walked out the door,
took my Jell-O, and ran straight into the woods.
- That makes sense.
He is a hunter-gatherer of the highest order.
- That wasn't the last Jell-O, though, was it?
- Doesn't matter. We don't need the dog.
- Lassie, I'm gonna cut to the chase.
It's gonna be a hard pass for us.
We simply cannot keep lying to our ladies
to cover up your spooky ghost sightings, okay?
It's too hard. They know each other.
We're grown men with real pubes.
Let me give you a visual.
You remember Eddie Murphy's mustache in "Raw"?
Well, that's what Gus has going on right over the twig.
Now look, whatever you think you're seeing, it's up here.
You've been through a lot and hospitals are creepy,
even super luxurious ones.
Trust me on this, man.
You're just really high.
- High.
[door creaking]
[eerie music]
Uh, Shawn.
What's in that dog's mouth?
- Gus, please.
It is nothing more than a human hand.
Oh, my God! It's... it's a human hand.
And it's covered in leaves and moss
and it's human and it is a hand.
I'm gonna have to call my wife.
I'm gonna have to lie again.
Lassie, we're in.
- Of course you're in, you morons.
There's a hand in your hand.
- Go ahead, Gus. Knuck it up softly.
- Get that dead hand away from me, Shawn.

[laid-back music]
- Shawn, I don't like this.
- Gus, you heard Lassie.
We need to get this hand to Woody ASAP.
- If it's ASAP, why did we stop first
at Pokey Jack's Smoky Shack?
- Because I'm not an animal, Gus.
- Either way, it says right there on the wall
we're not allowed to ship living material.
- Well, if this hand was still living,
that would be inappropriate, but it's not.
Now, we need our gear if we're gonna find
the rest of this body before we drive home.
- All of our stuff is back in Psychphrancisco.
- Or is it?
Ow.
- Oh, you wanna bumble with the bee, huh?
- [buzzes]
[curious music]
Yeah.

Gus, we're home.
[triumphant fanfare]
Now give me some Chewie.
- [imitates Chewbacca]
- It's getting better.
- Oh.
[cats meowing]
[playful music]
# #
- Are we on the same page right now?
- Yes, alternative Spider-Verse.
- No.
- Oh, bienvenue au Litière,
Santa Barbara's only pop-up cat restaurant.
- Ah.
- Sure. - Of course.
A cat-fé. How nice.
Do your parents know you're doing this?
- What? How old do you think I am?
- Nine. - Forty-one.
- Forty-one? - Like the girl from "Orphan."
Congrats, business is booming.
- Um, we don't open for another 15 minutes.
- Oh, so the cats aren't the customers?
- Who the hell are you guys?
- I'm Shawn Spencer, this is my partner Ding Dong Ditch.
- Nope. - Claude O'Dirt.
- Mm-mm. - Big Poppa Pump?
- Warmer.
- Lemona-lemona-lemona-lime...
- Hello.
- How did either of you reach adulthood?
- Don't worry, you will too as long as you keep
taking your vitamins.
- Okay, I am not a child. What do you want?
- Isn't it obvious? We want love.
- And companionship.
- And the end of the ivory trade.
- But most importantly, we wanna know what you think
you're doing opening a cat-feteria in our office.
- Well, I am a legit entrepreneur
and I rented this space
and it's mine for the next 19 days.
Oh, those are for cats.
- I see.
- Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you guys.
I am in a real Dickens of a stare down
with the health department, so I'm gonna need you
to get to the point.
- All right, here's the nutshell.
I'm a psychic and he's a sympathetic pooper.
We're back to retrieve dozens of detectiving tools
that we've stashed in the walls, ceiling,
and air ducts.
And that may require punching a hole or five.
- Well, you're gonna need to take that up
with the landlord, and he is not gonna like it.
Back there. - Thank you, old woman.
Or young child, whichever you may be.
- What do you want? - Hi.
Looking for approval to destroy your drywall
and possibly remove your air conditioner.
- No. Bug off.
- "Bug off"? - Hmm.
[knocks on door]
- Sir, if you would just allow me to explain the magnitude...
- No. - Yeah, wait, hold on.
- Back up.
- We can't help but be disturbed by how low
the register of your voice is.
- You're clearly putting on some sort of bellowed timbre.
- This is not a timbre. - It just got lower.
- It's the same voice. - So you admit it's a voice?
- Yeah, who are you doing, Tom Waits?
- Kathleen Turner? - Harvey Fierstein?
- Diedrich Bader? - Shawn.
Get in here. - Dad?
How in the hell could you afford to buy
the Psych office?
- I didn't buy anything.
You neglected to tell your landlord
that you were moving.
- What?
- I simply picked up the payments
and started subletting to every hipster pop-up
coming into town.
I am literally rolling in disposable income.
[whispers] Tax-free.
- This seems illegal.
- Why are you bothering my tenants?
- We may have left behind a few items when we moved.
- You left behind a slow cooker with a 3-pound roast in it.
You nearly "This Is Us'd" the entire block.
- "This Is Us"?
Dad, why are you watching that show?
They have the same show on ABC, but newer.
[knock at door]
- What do you want?
- Uh, this is embarrassing,
but I think I'm allergic to these cats.
[sneezes] - Not my problem.
- Wha...
- Look, Dad, this is a Lassie mystery.
The stakes are possibly life and death,
which means I need my night vision goggles
and my collection of mustaches
in order to snoop around undetected.
Will you please help us?
For Lassie.
- [sighs] Of course.
- You're using the voice again.
[tense music]

[gun clicks]
[gunshot]
- Surprise!
- I can see all your teeth, O'Hara.
Like, all of them.
- I'm sorry, I'm just inappropriately giddy
to see you.
- Wait a minute. It's not Monday.
Why are you here?
- Carlton, you are absolutely paranoid.
I miss you.
- Really?
- Okay, fine.
Truth is, I snuck out this morning when I saw this.
[dramatic music]
- Is that Conway Twitty?
- This is Reese Kessler, the monster who shot you
in cold blood six times.
They picked him up yesterday, made a full confession,
waived his right to an attorney.
Still ironing out a few details,
but it smells like...
what?
- Nothing.
- I know that face.
Is this not the guy?
- I don't know. Believe me, I wish I did.
I don't remember. I'm working on it.
- But maybe the reason you're making that face
is because this is not the right person.
Look, the truth is, I didn't come down here
all the way from San Francisco just to be a messenger.
I came down here, because he doesn't mention
a second gun in his confession.
And I know they never found a slug for it,
but I also know there's a bullet missing
from the crime scene.
- O'Hara, you've already been reprimanded twice
to stay off this case.
Please stop jeopardizing your career.
- Look, I just wanna help.
- "Help"? Great.
There you go.
- That's a grocery list.
- Untrue. There's also some errands.
- There are 93 of them.
- Yeah, so it shouldn't take you that long.
- Gus, we've got everything we need right here.
Best damn tracking dog in the history
of the Half Moon Bay Animal Shelter.
Morrissey already found the hand.
Now he will meticulously sniff this entire place
and lead us directly to the rest of the body.
Morrissey, take a sniff of this.
Huh?
[growling]
Now, watch and learn.
[panting]
[adventurous music]
# #
- I probably should have left the leash on.
- Ya think?
- Damn, he cleared the horizon quickly.
- You are the strongest person I know.
- [chuckles] Nah.
- Yeah, and I am watching you get stronger
every single day.
And I love you, and I don't know
what I would do without you.
[sniffles] And I will be back on Monday
for our regularly scheduled visit
with a completed errand list
and seven pounds of Ghiradelli chocolate.
- Okay.
- Oh, and I almost forgot.
- What?
- I thought you might want it so you never forget.
And I promise next time I am here, zero police talk,
unless, of course, you wanna talk about putting
a guard outside your door.
Deal? - Deal.
We've gotta be honest with each other.
- Why is Morrissey's dish here?
- Whose what?
- Shawn, we've been lost for an hour.
That dog's never coming back.
[phone rings]
- Babe of all babes.
- I can't believe you're in Santa Barbara.
- What? I can explain, babe.
I was just trying to help.
- Please don't. Just stop.
I'm here too.
I need to talk to you about dinner.
- Right, dinner.
- Cancel. - I'm not gonna cancel.
- I think we should cancel.
- No, we're not gonna cancel. Don't be silly.
I already have something in motion that's amazing.
Tonight's gonna be a night we remember forever.
- Um... okay.
I'm just... I'm stuck at the airport,
and I may need a little extra time,
so maybe we should just...
- Hey, what you said is perfect.
I'll see you tonight. I love you.
- [sighs]
- She was giving you an out.
- She sounded really strange, Gus.
- Like Lupita in "Us"?
- No, well, which one?
- "Tethered." [clicks tongue]
- No, not that strange.
I just feel like I really let her down this time.
- You're protecting Lassie. He begged us not to tell her.
- It doesn't matter, Gus.
I can't keep sneaking around and lying like this anymore.
She's probably sitting at the airport all misty-eyed,
wondering if I'll ever be
the truthful grown-ass man she deserves.
What am I... Let's go home.
[foreboding music]
# #
- This is Chief Lassiter.
Shots fired. I'm down.
[gunshots]
I have been ambushed and shot multiple times.
[gunshot]
- We have an officer down. All units respond.
[gunshot]
Situation critical.
# #
- They never found the slug for it.
# #
There's a bullet missing from the crime scene.
# #
[rustling]
# #
- I didn't see anything! Don't shoot.
- I'm not gonna hurt you. - I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have come back.
- Look, you need medical attention.
And I need that bullet in your leg.

- # How lucky can one guy be #
- She's later than us. Go!
- Dude! - Go, do it!
She'll be here any second, man.
Make it romantic.
I'll plate the dinners. You set the mood.
- # Ain't that a kick in the head #
- Ooh, next level petal-ing, Gus.
- # She's telling me we'll be wed #
- Shawn, why did you choose the menu
from "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving"?
- Because it's the only thing they had
at the gas station, Gus.
- Come on, son.
[phone ringtone plays] - # I'm Mr. Bootyman#
- Don't... don't answer that.
- I couldn't if I wanted to.
My phone is even worse now.
None of the buttons are working.
- Well, we reap what we sow.
- # I'm Mr. Bootyman # [keys jingling]
- She's coming. Okay!
I gotta get the candles. You sneak down the fire escape.
- Cool. Wait, fire escape?
- I am really proud of how you've handled all of this.
It was big of you to bail on Lassiter's case,
especially with goblins on the table.
- Thank you, but I also know that you're not sold
on the guy who confessed to shooting Lassie.
But, babe, your neck is way out there on this one.
- Shawn Spencer, are you the one worried about me
sniffing around where I shouldn't be?
- That's right, it feels good to be the adult
in this relationship.
- [laughs] - Just this once.
- Yeah.
- Seriously, though, please promise me
that you'll let the locals handle this one.
- Of course. - Of course.
That being said, I'm gonna take this list.
I'm gonna do all these errands for you,
which include "polishing Lassie's rod."
But first, I'm gonna wrap both of us
in your favorite green Snuggie.
- [gasps]
- And we're gonna be in there for a while.
- It's in the big dresser drawer with all the bedding!
- Heh.
[yelps] What are you doing?
- That fire escape was steep, Shawn.
- Come on, man. It's been a couple of hours.
Look, I told her all afternoon that you were gonna be gone.
Now you've turned me into a liar again.
- You are a liar. - Your dad's a liar.
- Did you tell her about the hand?
- No, because the hand is not important,
because we're off the case.
Now give me this damn Snuggie. - Get your own damn Snuggie.
- This is my damn Snug...
Ow! - [grunts]
- What's that?
- Nothing, hon.
Hey, babe.
It's weird. I can't find the Snuggie.
But you know what?
We don't need that particular Snuggie, because...
[phone ringtone plays] - # I'm Mr. Bootyman #
- Is that Gus' ringtone?
- That is Gus' ringtone, isn't it?
He must have left his phone here, silly black goose.
I just remembered where the Snuggie is.
It's in the bedroom, but it's deep.
I think there's a depth to it. Will you go look for it?
- You just wanna see who's calling
so you can decide whether or not to pick it up.
- Will you marry me?
- Only if we can have toast and jelly beans for dinner
every night.
- Deal. This is it.
- That's where it's at. - This is home base.
- Yep.
- Good God, man, turn that off.
- I'm trying. It's Woody.
- Well, answer it. He's got the hand.
- I thought you said the hand wasn't important.
- Where did you get a Nutri-Grain bar?
- Don't worry about that, Shawn.
- Mmm.
Guys, first of all, thank you
for the delicious smoked meats.
- He ate the hand? - He didn't eat the hand.
I put some smoked meats in with the hand.
- Why would you do that?
- Because it was $26 to mail the box
whether it was full or not, Gus.
I thought you of all people could appreciate
that level of frugality.
Woody?
- I have good news and I have bad news.
The venison, scrumptious!
[chuckles]
Oh, also there was a usable print
on one of the dead guy's fingers.
I got a name for the victim.
Some hotshot manufacturing CEO
named Devon Tileback.
- Devon. Okay, okay.
What's the bad news?
- Shawn, the buffalo was chewy.
Tasted a little bit like fingernails.
- That makes sense. It was actually tofuffalo.
- Oh, tofuffalo. Okay.
- Damn it, now we've got a real murder case
and a real victim.
- Nope, no, no, no.
He wasn't murdered or dissolved by a witch.
He committed suicide.
- Suicide? - Yeah, about a week ago.
Jumped off a bridge into the Santa Ynez River.
Body was never found until now, I guess.
[clattering, baby coos]
Luka, no. No, sweetie.
Butterfly's baby is playing with a spleen again.
I should go. - Yeah, you should.
- Well, this great.
There's no ghost. It's open and shut.
We're off the hook.
- No, Gus, this is bad.
The suicide, the hand turning up behind the hospital
where Lassie's seeing ghosts... Come on.
Jules is gonna go right back down there
when she hears all this stuff.
We have to save her from herself.
- What does that even mean?
- It means we go back to Santa Barbara
and start lying again.
Be careful for spiders.
- [stammers]
Shawn! - Here comes the tickler!
[eerie music]

- [exclaiming]

[whines]
- Morrissey?
[whines]
No.
What have I told you about getting up on the bed?
Down.
Off.
I can move you off me any time I want to.
[whines]
[sighs]
Actually, that's not true, is it?
[high-pitched whine]
You think I'm a fraud, don't you?
You think they're gonna retire me,
gonna be a burden to my family.
Gonna sit in the La-z-Boy the rest of my life
yelling at the TV.
Oh, crap, that would suck.
I'm gonna level with you, dog, just between you and I.
I don't know if I'm ever gonna walk again.
- [grunting]
- What are you looking at?
- [groans]
[suspenseful music]
# #
[moans] - You see that, right?
[groans]
I mean, that guy's really bleeding.
Come on, dog, tell me I'm not crazy.
- Of course you're not crazy. You're a Lassiter.
- I thought I told you to leave me alone.
- I know, son, but we have so much catching up to do.
# #
- Oh, Lassie, Lassie, Lassie.
Look, we believe that you saw something last night,
but why would a man soaked in blood
sneak into some stables at a recovery house?
- I know what I saw. - Did anybody else see this?
- Yes.
- A dog?
- Oh, my God, Morrissey ate Dolores.
- Dolores is fine.
- Look, Lassie, we're trying here, man.
We are.
But that hand, remember?
The hand that Morrissey found belongs to
some techie CEO that took a dive into the river.
It has nothing to do with you or the Herschel House.
And keeping these trips secret is proving very difficult.
Gus slept in a drawer last night.
- Full disclosure, it's the best sleep
I've had in years.
I might even stay there again tonight.
- Yeah, guess again. - You'll never know.
- Regardless, your only witness is a dog,
who I'm not convinced didn't eat a nurse.
- Guys, please, just check out the stables
and then you can tell me I'm crazy.
- He said "please." - He did.
- Shoot.
[upbeat music]

[phone rings]
- [gasps] Selene.
- Oh, hi, Juliet.
Do you know where I can file a missing person's report?
- Oh, yeah, I can do that for you right away.
Who's it for? - Gus.
- Gus?
- Yes, he's not at work and he hasn't answered
his phone in two days.
And I've called from lots of phones.
- Selene, come on, it's Gus. It's fine.
He doesn't have a deceptive bone in his... oh.
You know what?
He left his phone at our house
when they got back from Santa Barbara.
- What?
He didn't tell me he was going to Santa Barbara.
- Neither did Shawn.
That's 'cause they were sneaking around
on a case they didn't want me to know about.
- And that doesn't upset you? - No.
It makes it easier for me
to sneak around and investigate cases they don't know about.
- Juliet, there's something or someone
he's not telling me about.
- Oh, is this about the nurse?
- What nurse?
- Oh, no, it's nothing.
Lassiter's nurse, she's just very sweet,
and she just seems to really like Gus.
Super innocent.
Sorry, why would Kessler contradict his own alibi?
Unless he was forced to.
You know what, Selene?
I am sorry, I have to go to Santa Barbara
and get a prisoner to recant his confession.
Gus is way into you. Try not to spiral over nothing.
Bye!
- A nurse isn't nothing.
[laid-back music]
- All right, I guess the bloody figure
would have had to come through here.
- Man, even the stables are spotless.
I'd even eat off this floor. - You'd eat off any floor.
Now, why would they keep
all this medical equipment down here?
That doesn't make any sense.
What are these?
- Ice chips.
They give them to patients during therapy
when they can't hold down solid food.
What are you doing? Are you eating that?
- Dude, there's, like, five different flavors in there.
- You can't do that, Shawn. It's impolite.
- Impolite?
You ate a Nutri-Grain bar
that you found in an armoire.
- Exactly, it didn't belong to anyone... oh, my gosh.
Blue raspberry.
- Now you see what I'm saying.
This is like a Concord grape.
- Excuse me. Good morning.
Are you eating the patients' ice chips?
- I am not. He is.
- That's not true. - We're sorry.
We're just... we're both fans of delicious flavor.
- We're friends of the Chief. Carlton Lassiter.
- Ah, friends of the Chief's.
Hi. - Hello.
- I'm Dr. Herschel. This is my facility.
Those are my ice chips.
- Oh.
- I'd like to remind you, gentlemen,
that the areas marked "restricted" are restricted,
because they are restricted.
- That feels fair. - Mm-hmm.
- We were wondering, did you have any unexpected visitors
late last night who had been attacked violently
and perhaps large pools of blood
in this general area maybe headed that way?
- No, no pools of blood.
- Any people living in your pipes?
- Maybe speaking their own tongue, perhaps Parsel.
- I'm fairly certain we do not.
- I feel like we're making some serious strides here.
- Yes.
- What about one-handed patients?
Be it by birth, industrial accident,
or voodoo.
- 100% of our patients have 100% of their appendages.
May I ask, gentlemen, what is this about?
- Say nothing.
- Carlton may have seen a zombie.
- [quacks] What are you doing?
- [grunts]
- It was not a zombie, sir.
It was a normal man possibly infected with rage,
drenched in his own blood.
And, oh, did you know there are bodies in your fields?
- [squeaks] - Now I'm doing it.
You. You're good.
You are very good at extracting confessions.
- Impressive.
- I know that the Chief has been seeing things
that are unexplainable.
Believe me, we are doing everything in our power
to help him work through this during his recovery.
We even sent for a specialist
all the way from the island of Cuba to help,
Mr. A.V. Catalon, a renowned homeoneurotraumatist.
- Dr. Herschel, I'm going to be honest with you.
That title sounds like you made it up right this second.
- Do you have a picture of this alleged Dr. Catalon?
- All you have to do is look into the flap of his book.
- [in British accent] What?
He wrote a book?
[both laugh]
- May I be honest with you, gentlemen?
- Please, sir.
- The Chief's behavior is perfectly within
the realm of normal for someone
who has experienced such severe trauma.
The only danger is if somebody
were to fuel his fantasies.
Am I being clear?
- Yes. - Good.
Now, if I am ever to see you two gentlemen again,
I hope it is in the area marked "for visitors,"
because that's where visitors
do their visiting.
- It tracks.
- Good day.
- Wait for it... - Good, good.
Good, good. - Clear.
[exciting music]
# #
I like to suck on the tips.
- What?
# #
- O'Hara. - Hmm?
- There you are. - You got it, didn't you?
Police Commissioner, I can't believe it!
You'll come back and visit us, right?
- No, final interviews are later today,
and I'm just one of three.
It's an honor to be considered. - Mm-hmm.
- Oh, scratch that.
I want it, I need it, it is mine to lose.
- Yeah.
So why'd you wanna talk to me so bad?
- Ballistics is having a little trouble identifying
this slug that you brought in yesterday,
and I don't recall the case it's from.
- Oh, I was just crossing some Ts
in the Embarcadero Shipping case.
- Okay. Then, good.
- Yeah. - And, O'Hara...
- Yes, Chief?
- If you're going to go after Lassiter's shooter,
please do us the courtesy of clocking out first
and never lie to me,
even if you think it's for my own protection.
- I'm sorry.
- I thought they had someone in custody.
- They do. - And he confessed?
- He did.
I can explain. - Oh, I didn't ask you to.
And I don't need to remind you how many cold-blooded killers
get off on technicalities.
[elevator dings]
- So, you're going to Santa Barbara to see
about a prisoner, huh?
Well, I'm going to see about a nurse.
[whimsical music]
[cat toy jingles]
- Gus, is this place starting to mess with your head?
I suddenly have the urge to give myself a tongue bath.
- Focus, Shawn. - Right.
- Look, I don't get it.
Devon Tileback's life was perfect.
His company just went public.
Why would he jump off a bridge?
He just started spending his money like a boss.
He had everything left to live for.
- I don't know, Gus.
But Lassiter is spiraling
with every single unanswered question.
We need to prove something,
even if it's not what we wanna prove.
We've ruled out the hell hag.
Maybe we take a harder look at Tileback.
Now what are we missing?
[dramatic music]
# #
That doesn't make sense. - What?
- Our guy worked from morning till night, right?
So what's he doing driving all the way into the hills
to the Vikings Den Ice Bar?
- An ice cream bar? - No, no, no, ice bar.
The ones where they give you a parka
and they have subzero temperatures.
They're either for tourists or Eskimos.
- He could be an Eskimo. What?
- Let's go get loaded for Lassie.
[indistinct announcement]
[door buzzes]
[tense music]
# #
- You're not a public defender.
- No, wait, Mr. Kessler.
I just don't want you to make a mistake by going to jail
for a crime you did not commit.
Look, I know you've had a lot of heartbreaks
in your life, but you can get out of this.
I can help you.
- No, you can't, okay?
They're everywhere. They're here.
They know everything.
- Think about your wife. - Look, you don't get it, okay?
I can't trust anyone. I'm fully exposed in here.
- Don't let anybody force you to do this.
Think about your child. - Wait, wait, wait.
You have a kid, and you're willing to go to jail
for nothing?
What the hell is wrong with you?
- The hell is this? - Nobody.
- Nobody?
I'm your best friend. - Best friend?
- What, you brought your best friend with you?
Look, you know what? I'm done.
I'm done with you guys. - You know what?
You're right, we are done, you ol' deadbeat D'Andre.
- No, look, wait... - Peace out.
- What? Kessler, wait.
- Open the door. - We are not done.
- You know what?
I may have overreacted slightly.
- May...
[sneaky music]
# #
- I don't like this, Shawn.
We're the only non-motorcycle in this parking lot
and these people are extra white,
which is never good.
- Well, you'll just have to be extra black, then.
- You bet.
[dramatic music]
- These mittens are awfully restrictive,
and I'm afraid my hat used to be a raccoon.
- The fur is fake, Shawn.
What we should have done was waited to see if
any more of those fancy brown earmuffs became available.
- Let's just get the information we need,
drink some chilled moonshine, and bounce out of here.
- Hello.
- Hi, you must be the vodka consigliere?
- What the hell is this?
- What can you tell us about Devon Tileback?
- Don't talk about Devon in here.
- Why not?
- He owed a lot of money.
- What? That dude was loaded.
- Look, he was a good guy, but he was starting to lose it.
Kept going on about all of his dark secrets
being exposed.
- First of all, thank you for being so forthcoming.
It's refreshing. - Yeah.
- What secrets do you mean?
- [speaking Norwegian] Hello.
[speaking Norwegian]
- Hmm?
- Ova. This is my place.
Both: Oh. - Yes.
You're just the man we'd like to speak with.
- Question: do you have any more of
those smoky topaz-brown earmuffs?
- Those are for our VIPs, and we're all out.
Have you ever been to Norway?
- Just once with my brother-in-law.
- We don't talk about that, Shawn.
- Ova, I'm going to be honest with you.
Neither of us have heard of this joint,
and I wasn't even aware this mountain existed.
- Well, we just opened last year.
This is my second chapter.
I used to run a different business,
successful and rewarding in its own way,
but life has a way of giving you a new direction.
- It does.
- Can I treat you to a favorite of mine
from back home?
- Is it Oreo-flavored?
- It is not.
It is cask-aged by my family in Flekkefjord
for the last 120 years.
- Not to seem ungrateful,
but do you have anything Russian?
- Gentlemen, Norwegian tradition.
First, we look into each other's eyes...
- Mm.
- And we say:
[singing in Norwegian]
Skal! - Cheers!
- And cheers!
Ah, kerosene. - Uh!
[dramatic music]
- Tell me, who is the bearded Daryl Hannah over there?
- That's Per. He's my son.
Both: Ah.
- He's also clearly within earshot.
He's already displeased with me and my career choices.
Perhaps we all stop gawking at him?
- Fair enough. Gus, we need to go.
- We do, but first, I need to go.
This vodka went right through me.
- Thank you for your hospitality, Ova.
We'll be back to wear these coats again,
I can assure you.
Can we reserve two pair of
the extra plush russet brown earmuffs?
- Be sure to put you on the top of the list.

[camera snaps]
- What the hell?
- That was not supposed to happen.
My cousin partnered with Greg Grunberg on an app
called "Jamaica Me Alla Way."
There are some bugs, and that's what caused me
to photograph your... - [yelps]
- Hairless genitals over there twice.
I will erase the photos immediately.
[phone whooshes] - [gasps]
[Twitter app whistles]
Bad news, I just tweeted that.
- You are one sick individual.
[phone chiming] - Whoa, whoa, whoa, no!
Don't retweet that! Don't retweet that!
Damn it!
You know, sometimes, I really hate my followers.
- You know what we do with sick individuals?
- You give them the space and care they deserve?
- They get what they deserve, all right.
- What could I do? I pulled the man's finger.
- Let's go. Let's go!
Psst.
- It was nice meeting you, Ova.
- And you. - Let's go!
- [speaks Norwegian]
- Dude, what the hell happened in there?
- I will tell you on my deathbed, Shawn.
We go on foot. - What?
- Run, Shawn! [screaming]
- [speaking Norwegian]
Come on!
[distant yells]
- Dude, dude! Motorcycle.
Let's go!
- No, no, no, no, no. I can't do it.
- You can't do what, ride a motorcycle?
- In all the years I owned one,
how many times did you actually see me ride, Gus?
- I don't care.
Shawn, there's a bunch of angry Viking bikers
coming this way now.
- No. - Let's go.
- I promised Jules I wouldn't ride anymore,
and I gotta be honest about something.
- Dude, now is not the time to try
to suddenly live up to your vows.
Let's go. - That's fair.
[motor revving]
- Make a hard right! Hard right!
Turn right! Turn right!
[speaking Norwegian]
- [groans]
- That wasn't a hard right, Shawn.
- I tried to tell you, man!
- What do you we do now?
- I guess we just lay here for a while.
- Who the hell are you guys?
- Who the hell are we? Who the hell are you?
- You're Devon Tileback.
- Dude, our dog found your hand.
- You're supposed to be dead.
- You need to stop whatever it is you think you're doing.
You have no idea who you're dealing with.
More people are gonna die.
Just let me stay dead.
You're ruining everything.
- When you say "everything"...
[gunshot]
[thudding]
Where did that shot come from?
- Play dead.
[tense music]
- Buzz frickin' McNab. - In a suit.
It's even his size.
- What's going on with the hair?
- It's a douche-hawk, Shawn.
- Oh, there's a piece coming loose.
- Dude, he's got my phone.
- Buzz, you look big and slick.
- Shawn, Gus, what are you guys doing in Santa Barbara?
- Well, I left a Frisbee signed by a German film director
Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck when I moved,
and I've come back to collect it.
Gus has a new love interest down here
who happens to be a nurse.
- Not true.
Can I have that? - It's evidence.
- It's mine.
- You guys got here too quick
for us to fish it out of the ditch.
- Did you kill that guy?
- Buzz, please, the man was dead before we spoke to him.
- What?
- He died a second time, Buzz. Keep up.
- Why are you here? - Super top secret, man.
I can't tell you or anyone from your department
or any former members of your department,
especially not J...
Jules?
That means she's still working this case.
She lied to me, Gus. She lied to me.
I'm so turned on right now, dude.
- Shawn, don't be happy about this.
You are setting a dangerous precedent.
Honesty is the key component in any...
- Who's she talking to? - This doesn't look
like a hospital. - Selene.
- What the... dude, we gotta get out of here.
Selene found me.
Damn it, I knew I was gonna get caught!
- Just act natural. - What is happening?
- Buzz, you never saw us.
- But this is a crime scene.
- Okay, listen very closely.
- Guy in a ditch. - Named Devon.
- Faked death. - Owed people money.
- Got found. - Got shot.
- Now dead. - Case closed.
- We will waive our fee for solving this,
because you still have to figure out who shot him.
- Okay, but how am I...
- Whoo-whoo.
- Nope. - Yep.
Move, sir, move, sir, sir. - Do not let her in here.
- This is a crime scene.
# #
- What's going on here?
- I'm not sure, but if I had a guess,
a guy faked his death and then got shot
by the people he was hiding from.
- How long have you been here?
- Ten minutes. - Wow.
That's impressive.
- Thanks, Juliet. It means a lot.
- Hmm.
Here is the ballistics report on the bullet
that went through Lassiter.
There was a second gun,
which means the guy who confessed is a liar.
Don't tell anyone how you got this.
You understand?
- I'm not sure I understand anything right now.
- That's the Buzz I know and love.
How's Francie?
- Oh, she's teaching yoga to horses now.
- [panting]
A cop!
[grunts]
[panting]
- Nice hiding space, Shawn.
- Then where do you suggest we go, Gus?
- We're in the forest and we look like bears.
- Yeah, but there's cops everywhere.
- No one is paying attention to us, Shawn.
No one. - You're right, that's weird.
- Juliet, if you would simply take me to the hospital...
- Selene, I am working a case I have no business working on.
So I am super sorry, but I would like
to respectfully request that you shut the hell up.
- Excuse me? - I'm sorry.
I should have said heck.
- You brought a friend with you?
- It's Gus' girlfriend. - Hi.
- Oh, you're the nurse.
- No!
- Shawn, Selene's coming back.
Through the car. - Good call.
Hurry!
Careful, you're getting footprints
all over Jules' seats.
Stop kicking everything.
You kicked everything everywhere.
- Shawn, she's coming.
There is no reason that keeps us here right now.
- Dude, there kinda is.
[heartbeat pounds]
- Shawn, she's gonna see us. Come on.
- Juliet, I'll just get there myself.
- [grunts]
[suspenseful music]
[car door slams, engine revs]
# #
- I don't know what I did, but I'm so sorry.
- Buzz. - Mm-hmm?
- I'm gonna need your car.
Keys?
- I left them in the car. - [scoffs]
# #
- Oh, man.
- Dude, will you snap out of it?
- It's impossible. - What's impossible?
- I think I'm pregnant.
- What? [clicks tongue]
When did you all start trying to have a baby?
- I don't know, Gus.
I thought we were waiting.
I assumed that we would start with a hamster,
maybe a mini-leopard.
You know me, man. I'm not ready for this.
You know the windows in the loft
don't even fully close, right?
I'm gonna have to replace them. Otherwise this is
"Baby's Day Out" all over again.
- Shawn, calm down, calm down.
You're spinning.
No reason to get worked up over John Hughes' worst idea.
Are you even listening?
[phone chirping]
- Lassie just texted, all caps.
He saw Wilkerson running down the hallway.
- Wilkerson?
The comatose dude in a wheelchair?
- I think Lassie's hit a new low.
We're gonna have to deal with this.
- Uh, shouldn't we be dealing
with this whole fatherhood thing?
- Yes, but later.
This Lassie thing is the perfect reason
not to deal with anything real at all.
How lucky is that?
- And what exactly are you thinking?
- Well, it is that time.
- What time?
So now Lassie's seeing some comatose man
up and running around, but we've got a real dead guy
on our hands.
We're concerned we've lost him forever.
- Sh... - Shawn!
I did not steal your moustache collection.
What is your problem?
- Well, then you misplaced it, Pop, or you used it
as part of your bedroom play for whatever
unfortunate jezebels you convinced to participate
in your sick game.
Ah! [meows]
This cat.
Look, I just want 'em back. I need 'em back!
- You better walk that tone someplace else
if you want my help.
- All right, can I step in here?
Shawn is having a lot going on right now.
Big picture life stuff.
- My only concern at the moment is that my dad is
a liar and a thief.
Do we even know if that merkin on your face is real?
- Stop!
I thought maybe, when you got married,
you might take even half a step toward
being an adult, but you are regressing big time.
- Oh, well, I am way further down that road
than you can imagine being.
And this just in, I will never steal from my child.
- [laughs]
I can't wait for you to feel what it's like
to have to deal with a mini-you.
I am counting the minutes to it.
It'll be the redemption of my life,
watching you fail.
- And all those years you thought you were telling me
things I didn't already know.
- All right.
Lassie is spiraling.
We thought we were helping him by looking into his visions,
but now we're concerned we're just fueling his imagination.
- Okay, guys, come on, come on. Now, look.
Carlton is one of the best cops I've ever known.
He survived six bullets and a stroke.
His body may be playing catch up,
but his mind, it's as sharp as I've ever known it.
Come on, let's face it.
He's never had much of an imagination, right?
So when he says this guy Wilkerson is faking it,
maybe you should do the crazy thing...
Believe him.
- Believe him?
- Gus, you know what this means.
We have to go full... - Dirty...
- Rotten... - Scoundrels.
[tense music]
# #
- [grunts] - Afternoon, Wilkerson.
How you doing? - We're new here.
Name's Shawn Spencer.
This is my partner, L'Eggo My Eggo.
- No. - Norman Brownbutter.
- Try again, Shawn.
- Dijon Hounsou? - Accepted.
- Why are you rejecting nicknames in front
of a comatose guy?
- Because I'm a pro.
Penny for your thoughts, Vic.
- Save your pennies, Dijon. I got this.
I see it, Jack Daddy.
You play it straight, huh?
Tough guy from the old neighborhood.
Probably didn't even cry when Liz Berkley
got addicted to speed in "Saved By the Bell."
But guess what.
Even tough guys... - Are ticklish.
- [gasps] Uh-oh.
Looks like a very bad boy is about to get attacked
by the French tickler.
- Tickle, tickle, tickle. - [laughs]
Give it to him, Gus.
Just give it to him.
Give it to him clean, please.
- Yeah, work it. Prepare it.
Get in there.
Take off his sock, Gus.
[exciting music]
# #
Come on, Wilkerson, you know you can feel that.
- Come on, man.
- You're gonna break, and when you do,
you can take the window or the stairs.
# #
Harder, Gus. - Oh, it's about to get hard.
- Mm-hmm. Aw, yeah.
Harder. Harder, Gus.
Gus, go hard! - [grunting]
- Are you getting up in there? - Oh, it's getting hard.
- Get up in there. Finish it!
- I'm going hard, Shawn! - Excuse me.
What are you two doing?
- Oh, we're just visiting Mr. Wilkerson here.
- Why have you removed his stocking feet?
- Dr. Herschel, we have reason to believe
that your Wilkerson is faking.
- Yes.
- Faking? Faking?
- Yes.
- This man suffers from severe catatonia.
He has had imparity of all bodily functions
for quite some time.
We're not even sure he's going to recover at all,
and you're tickling his feet?
- Well, that's a regional term. Gus prefers "playing football."
Ow.
- Ah. [chuckles]
- [laughs]
- [chuckles]
- At first, I thought you two had this harmless, idiotic
Ren and Stimpy thing...
- Stimpy. - Going.
Now, you're proving to be dangerous.
I want you out.
- Shawn, Gus, what is going on?
- Dolores, great. I can explain.
Have you ever seen "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"?
- Oh, we talking, like, you and I,
like a Netflix and chill scenario?
- Nurse O'Riordan, kindly escort these two pedofetishers
off the premises and then attend
to Mr. Wilkerson and examine his feet
for signs of violation.
- Violation?
- Get your hands off that man's eyeball.
- [clears throat]
- There is a sign marked "exit."
It is marked "exit" for the purpose of exiting.
Find it, use it.
Gentlemen, my dander is rising.
[uneasy music]
- I don't really know what to say,
but I guess you guys should probably come with me.
- Oh, come on, Dolores.
You don't think maybe there's another reason
that dude just got a dander boner?
Maybe the "Good Doctor" isn't so good,
and we're on to him and so is Lassiter.
- On to what?
Dr. Herschel's an incredible doctor and humanitarian,
who took on Carlton's case at his own expense.
- What does that mean, like, for free?
- That's just bad business. - [scoffs]
- Okay, you know what?
Feel free to reach out for updates,
but at this point, I see no other option
than for you guys to stay away.
Good-bye.
[sultry music]
- What is that? That's surreal.
I'm... I don't...
- Shawn, we're done.
I need to get a hold of Selene
before she turns me into a voodoo doll.
- Nope.
What we need to do is get back into that hospital
and help Lassie.
- Why can we never just reach the end of the line?
- Because we're close, Gus, and we need eyes
on Dr. Herschel.
- What is that?
- That is called plan B.
Arrival papers and a security pass
for renowned touring trauma specialist Dr. A.V. Catalon
from Cuba.
Now, he could pick them up himself,
but I suspect he's gonna get a phone call later...
[gasps] Canceling his trip.
Who do we know in the whole wide world
that could possibly take his place?
- Who? - Oh.
- What? - We.
[imitates whipping noise]
[imitates sizzling]
- Oh, my gosh.
- This is why I needed my mustache collection, Gus.
[coughs]
[in Cuban accent] Hello.
My name is Amerigo Vespucci Catalon Estevez.
And you killed my father. - No.
- Yes. - No.
- Yes, you did. - I did not.
- Prepare to die. - It's not gonna work, Shawn.
- Are you kidding me right now? This is a lock.
I'm virtually unrecognizable to myself.
- Somebody in here?
[acoustic Latin music]
- [speaking Spanish]
- I'm going into your dad's office
and I am calling the police.
- I know what you're thinking: "Does he have a plan C?"
No, he does not.
But does he have a plan D?
[in Cuban accent] Yes.
[dramatic Latin music]
# #
Woody, the mustache is spectacular.
- From my lip to God's ears.
- Thank you for coming on such short notice.
- Did you get the materials?
Do you need us to fill you in on anything?
- I studied everything about him on the plane.
I know exactly who this guy is.
I know what makes him tick, what excites him,
his biggest fears.
- I like that very much, but, Woody,
for our purposes here, we should probably focus
on the type of medicine he practices
and how he helps the patients at this facility.
- I must disagree to disagree, Shawn.
Sure, that will come into play down the line, yes.
But more importantly, how does Catalon feel
about his mother and her unriddling dominance
over him and his seven siblings?
- He's an only child.
- In his mind, yes,
but that's how he managed to survive
in a world he distrusted and the loss of the only woman
he had ever loved, Esmerelda,
hostess at the tobacco farm
where he spent his formative summers.
Editor's note: his bicycle had a banana seat.
- None of that is in here. - [laughs]
Well, of course it isn't, dear, simple Gus.
But that doesn't make it any less true in here and here
and just a little down here.
- I feel woozy.
- Woody, I need you to concentrate, man.
We need you on the inside,
and we really need this to work.
- Shawn, I am calm.
I am collected.
Not since Ben Affleck in, well, anything,
has an actor been more prepared for a role in his life.
- You're not an actor. - You're barely a coroner.
- You planning on doing an accent?
- [in Cuban accent] Yes, I am.
- Less is more. - A lot less.
- Guys, I got this. [clicks tongue]
Adios, hombres.

- Is he doing a limp?
You're doing a limp?
- I got this.

Buenos tardes, señorita, or young lady.
I am Dr. Amerigo Catalon
from the island country of Cuba reporting for work.
- Dr. Catalon, wonderful.
Could you just spell that for me?
- No. No, I cannot.
- Okay.
[dramatic music]
# #
- You're gonna do great.
- I know.
- These were marked urgent for you.
- Thank you.
I will check them after my interview.
[exhales]
# #
- Welcome, Karen.
It's exciting to be nearing the conclusion of our search.
As you know, the process has been an exhaustive one.
- Uh... oh. [clears throat]
Yes, and thank you for considering me
for such... such a... lofty...
I can't believe... it's an honor just... just really
to... to be considered.
And I never thought that I would reach
such a lofty...
I have to go.
- Excuse me?
We're making our decision today.
- Oh, I know. Um, choose Pradhan.
She's much more cut out for this,
and this room is ridiculous.
[exciting music]
# #
[horse whinnies]
- Woody. - Oh!
- What do you got for us? Did you see Lassie?
- I got all his pills. - Great job, man.
You were born to do undercover work.
- I am deep in, guys. - That's great.
Woody, can you hand us the pills, please?
We don't wanna get caught in here.
- Sure. [chuckles]
Okay, I just want to point out that you guys requested
that I take Lassiter's pills.
See, I thought you wanted me to be the guinea pig on this,
but now I understand your way is a much better plan.
And the good news is, they're time-release pills,
and I have one painfully lodged in my throat,
but watch the problem solver at work solving the problem.
[gagging and wheezing]
[coughs] - Come on, man.
- [gasps]
- Do you have a surgical glove by chance?
- Forty-three pairs... they also come in wine and burnt pumpkin.
I'm a hoarder.
- [groans]
Okay, first of all, that's a Chiclet.
Wait, there's more.
[grunts]
- What the...
- Someone did not want us to find this.
- Bandages, stitches...
[sniffs] Peroxide.
Dude, this is all for an emergency patch job.
Somebody was coming here for help on the down low
from a doctor.
- Okay, great.
So which doctor was on duty
the night Lassie saw the bloody guy?
- We were here that day. Dr. Herschel.
[ominous music]
- Guys, I could get in huge trouble for this.
- Dolores, all the pieces are falling into place,
so Lassie could be the next victim.
- I cannot believe Dr. Herschel could be a villain.
- Really?
It's not like he emanates warmth.
- Okay, look, I will sneak you in to protect Carlton,
but you cannot leave this room.
- Of course, thank you, Dolores.
You're the best.
Ice chips. - Funyuns.
- You can get 'em both. - Me?
- Why do I have to risk sneaking around?
- Jackal says what? - What?
[smacks lips] Man.
[stealthy music]
# #
- Hey, Lass.
Quick ask, you know, between two gentlemen.
When you first found out that Marlowe was "with child,"
would you say that you were overcome with joy
or was it more like panic and confusion
and, um, a lack of oxygen?
Asking for a friend.
Eh.
- Guster.
- Henry? What are you doing here?
- I need to see Shawn, but first, you're gonna tell me
why he was having an extra sensitive cow earlier.
Something is going on. - Oh.
- I know my son. - No, mm-mm.
- Guster. - Mm-mm.
- Spit!
- Fine. I'ma tell you one time.
Shawn, Juliet...
- "Eliminate hippies." [chuckles]
Gus, don't you come in here without those blue ice chips.
I'm gonna make you feed me like a Jamaican baby bird.
What are you doing here?
And why are you looking at me like that?
- I think I might have crossed a line back at the office.
I saw something that I'd never seen.
I think I hurt you.
- No. No, you didn't hurt me.
- Maybe just a little.
- That's not possible. I'm impervious.
- Shawn, look.
Being a dad, it isn't easy.
- Is this your version of an apology?
- Shawn, would you let me finish?
It isn't easy, but it may be
the best thing a man can do
in his entire lifetime.
Look, what I'm just trying to say is
that if you're so lucky, you'll see the day
that your kid is born.
No... whenever that happens.
Your heart, it goes from being inside your chest
to outside your body to this other being
it attaches itself to, who now owns it.
And it swings around like a frickin' tether ball.
Boom. [chuckles]
You never get it back and that's the torture.
And I recommend it highly.
[tender music]
# #
- Yeah, well, I don't know if it's recommended for me.
All due respect, Dad, I'm not like you.
- No. Oh, no, you're not.
# #
And that's why you'll be better than me.
# #
- This is weird and uncomfortable.
- Yeah, weird. How can I help?
- Well, I'm supposed to finish
this list of errands for Lassie.
There are 93 items and I'm on number two.
- Who the hell writes this small?
- Uh... that is really small. Let me show you something.
You can use the camera.
You click that and then pinch.
[clicks tongue] zhoop.
- Ooh. - Magnification.
- That is sweet Daddy blue eyes.
- [chuckles]
Wait. What is that indentation?
"Silent partner."
Dad, he wrote "silent partner,"
and that's the date of the shooting.
That's why he went to the warehouse,
to meet with the victim.
Do you think you could get this...
- Analyzed? - Yeah.
- I'll be back in two hours. - Great.
We'll stay here and watch Lassie, like real men.
- I got greedy, Shawn. I took everything.
I sure hope none of these patients get dry mouth.
- My God. Is that a bundt cake?
- The nurse's lounge was unlocked too.
- Did you bring forks? - Come on, son.
- And we're back.
- Thanks, Dad. [sighs]
Sweet. That looks unusually moist.
Ow. - That's yours.
[eerie music]
# #
- [snoring]
[all snoring]
[distant gurgling and spluttering]
- Gus, goo-gooing in your sleep again.
Knock it off.
[gurgling and spluttering continues]
# #
- [gurgling]
- What the...
- [gurgling]
[toy squeaking]
- [gurgling]
- Mary?
What?
What the hell are you doing here, man?
- I'm a baby, Shawn. It's glorious.
I just finished teething.
Hey, have you ever been swaddled?
It's like a joyful mummification.
[gasps]
- What is that? Why are you doing that?
- Hey, could you do a quick pivot
and get me out of this diaper?
Because I just filled it,
and I am a little uncomfortable with how right that felt to do.
- Okay. Okay.
I see what's going on here.
I got news for everybody.
I don't know how to change a diaper, okay?
I'm not ready for you.
I don't care what my dad says.
[toy squeaks] - And what does that mean?
Let's talk about that. Let's unpack that.
- What it means is that I get why you're here,
but the only thing I know about fatherhood is
what I learned from all eight episodes of "Manimal."
- What I need to know is, where do you land
on the whole nurture versus nature thing?
I.e. might you offer up your teat?
- I absolutely will not.
- [groans] How 'bout a lullaby, then?
Something in G major maybe, if it suits you, sir.
- All right, but if I sing to you,
will you go to sleep, you strange little baby-man?
- That's the idea.
- # So, kid # - # May I please #
- # No, you can't have this teat #
- # Such a tease #
- # So, kid # - # Just a squeeze #
- # It's just a figure of speech #
# Would you please go to sleep #
- # How can I fall asleep? #
# When I can't have this teat #
- # But you can't have this teat #
- [snores]
- [shushes]
- Shawn. - [shushes]
- Who are you gently and sweetly singing with?
- Gus! Oh, you look beautiful.
I'd hug ya, but my nappy's packed
and I could spit up at any second.
- Do you wanna hear something funny?
Gus can totally change a diaper.
- You must be out of your damn mind.
- My point is simply that you have been ready
for fatherhood your whole life.
You dated a woman with a kid.
You accidentally abducted some other kid.
All you have to do is copy what your dad did with you,
because look how you turned out.
- [scoffs] - [spits]
That was really sweet, you guys,
in a extremely convoluted way, but two questions.
One, is there a ladybug looking over my shoulder?
And two, is there anything else that you could please
put me in, so I'm not bouncing here
in my own poop cage?
I don't want to belabor the point,
but it is getting sloppy.
Whoo!
Have you guys ever seen blue?
Aww.
- Gus, are you seeing what I'm seeing?
- Wilkerson? We got jackaled.
[suspenseful music]
- Now, that would be huge if I wasn't dreaming.
Mary, let me ask you... Mary?
# #
[exhales] Oh.
- [groaning]
- Gus, what is this? Why are we doing this?
- He's resisting, Shawn!
- Get off of me! - Are you sure?
It seems a bit one-sided.
- He's a merman!
He's a merman, Shawn with gills!
I can't hold him down on account of his slippery,
scaly epidermis!
- What is wrong with you two?
- Excuse me, sir.
Are you or are you not a merman?
- No, I'm not a frickin' merman!
- Gus. Gus!
No gills.
[both panting]
So let me get this straight.
You've just been pretending this whole time?
- No, not the whole time.
I mean, I still have some numbness on my right side,
but I can get around, obviously.
And you can't tickle for crap.
- Why are you doing this? Is this an insurance thing?
And is that a cactus growing out of your head?
- No and no and stop touching my scar, man.
- I gotta wake up. Wake up, Gus.
- Gus. - Wake up, come on.
- Gus, Gus, Gus! - What?
- We're not sleeping, dude.
I think baby Mary was a hallucination.
I'm pretty sure Wilkerson's the real deal,
but we're tripping on something.
- No, not something, psychotropes.
You suddenly feel like you wanna confess something?
- Yeah.
I used to have a major thing for Jewel,
even after the Civil War movie and the Bollywood song.
I mean, the tooth and the van story,
she could yodel...
- Somehow they're getting them into the patients' meds.
I stopped taking mine, but it didn't help.
[crunching]
- Carlton may have seen a zombie.
- [quacks]
Did you know there are bodies in your fields?
Oh, gosh, it's the ice chips.
- What? - Oh, that's just diabolical.
They know everything.
That's how they get you.
Hey, look, if they find out that I'm still lucid,
I'm a dead man walking, okay?
I have money. I can pay you guys.
But please don't give me up,
not after what they did to my best friend.
- Devon Tileback? - Yes, how'd you know that?
- We didn't. - Until now.
- You're the silent partner.
Tell us everything you know and your truth
will be safe in the vault of secrets.
- Um, we had an IPO coming up
and, um, we were cooking the books that the company...
- No! - It was Tileback's idea.
- Shame. - I just... I went along with it.
The lying was killing me. I was having panic attacks.
And the next thing you know I'm recovering here
from a stroke.
And apparently I spilled everything
to Herschel during therapy,
because a few days later, a guy shows up
at our office saying he knows everything.
And he offers to keep his mouth shut for a price.
A steep price.
Tileback played along for a little while,
but once the IPO was announced,
they wanted to bleed us dry.
Tileback tried to secretly meet up
with Chief Lassiter, and they shot the Chief.
They tracked Tileback down and they cut off his hand
as a warning.
He tried to disappear, but they found him
and then they killed him.
- Who is "they"? - I don't know, I don't know.
They have someone working on the outside,
doing all their dirty work so that they can't be connected
to the recovery house.
Devon was so scared and now he's dead.
And I will be too if they ever see me walking.
- Then why are you packing up your stuff and leaving?
- Because obviously, it's not safe
for me here either.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Your secret is safe in the vault of secrets.
- Redundant.
- From one jackal to another,
sit tight until we figure out who's on the outside,
because that's the guy who shot the chief of police.
[indistinct voice]
- It's Herschel and his twin. - What?
- There's one guy standing over there, Gus.
How many of those ice chips did you eat?
- I just ate the last one.
- You kept eating them after we knew
they were laced with hallucinogens?
- I can't help it, Shawn. I run island hot.
- Ha! Dr. Hersch... Woody!
- Well, hey, guys. How are we doing?
- What are you two still doing here?
- I get to cover the night rounds
for Dr. Herschel.
- Dr. Herschel's gone?
- Tell me that isn't the guy I was supposed to be watching.
- You know, not to pile on the criticisms, Woody,
but we're actually trying to close up this case quietly,
which means keeping the evidence hidden
until we know who the outside triggerman is.
- This is new stuff. - What?
- Yeah, I went looking for that Chiclet I coughed up...
You know, five day rule and all...
I saw that we missed some of the hidden bandages.
- Wait a minute.
Is this a smoky topaz-brown earmuff or am I imagining it?
- I don't know anybody who would wear a bloody earmuff.
- Gus, I know where the outside man is.
- Shawn, will you get your hand off my knee?
[crunches]
- Gus, for the last time.
Someone from this ice bar
went to the Herschel House covered in blood
and got stitched up mob doctor style.
Our highly skilled tracking dog,
along for the assist with this earmuff,
is going to lead us right to them.
- Shawn, we've done this routine before.
Do you not know the definition of insanity?
- Gus, please, I'm going to leave
the leash on this time.
- So? - Morrissey, smell this muff.
[growls and chews]
Ow. Good news, bad news.
- What's the bad news?
- He ate the earmuff.
- What's the good news?
- He clearly took on the scent, Gus, body and soul,
and he will now lead us to the owner of said muff.
- Come on, son.
[barking]
- I'll be damned.
- You're almost in, man. Come on, come on.
- [groans]
- What? - Ah!
- It took four minutes for you to get inside that window.
- Juliet Spencer O'Hara.
- Shawn, I have never been more angry with you.
- You can't be angry. - Why?
- Your blood pressure, obviously.
- What? My blood pressure is fine.
What are you doing here?
- We are trying to solve this case
so that you don't get busted.
We have evidence that the guy Lassie thought he imagined
is actually real, came from this place,
and is a VIP.
More importantly, what are you doing here?
You shouldn't be alone.
- I'm not alone.
- I wasn't gonna let her come here alone.
And where's this evidence?
- Currently? Morrissey's stomach.
- Or in his intestines.
- By the way, it could come back up at any time.
What's your lead?
- Final bullet that shot Lassiter.
I found it.
- And I found the gun with the information
she didn't directly give to me.
- Nice, babe. I'm proud of you.
Now, is there anything else you'd like to say to me?
- Yes. - Wait.
[fake sobs] All right, I'm ready.
- The slug was traced to
a rare Norwegian-made pistol registered to Ova Asblorn.
- No, not that. - Ova?
The bar owner? [laughs]
No, no.
He's just a sweet retiree
enjoying the second chapter of his life,
owning a mountaintop watering hole.
- We're talking about Ova Asblorn?
- Yes. - The Butcher of Bodo?
- The Butcher of what?
- No, Bodo, Bodo. Purse your lips.
- That's a dope nickname.
- Unless he's an actual butcher.
Then it's a little on the nose.
- No, Ova's a gunrunner, a drug dealer, an extortionist,
ran a major crime syndicate in Norway.
At least, before he almost died.
- I used to run a different business.
- Please stop touching my scar.
- Oh, my gooshen, Gus. Ova had a stroke.
He was a patient in the Herschel House.
- He's the outside man and Lassiter's shooter.
- Which means Dr. Herschel's on the inside
digging out the dirty secrets of his rich-ass patients.
- Feeding them to Ova on the outside
to shake down the victims.
- Nobody ever put those two together until now.
- And we just figured out the final piece.
- Nasty dance. Wood on wood.
Nasty dance.
- [barking]
- Guys. - Morrissey?
Uh-oh.
[menacing music]
# #
I guess it's not Ova.
- It's Ova. - Yeah, but it's not "ova."
- Shawn, it's Ova.
- Gus, this is nowhere near "ova."
- It's Ova right there, Shawn. - Guys.
- [howling]
[barking]
- Well...
- That dog doesn't care about anything.
[bangs]
- Okay, we gotta get out of here.
[sinister music]
# #
- Oh, come on, dude.
Did you just put on a dead man's earmuffs?
- He can have them back
whenever he wants them back, Shawn.
- Got him.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Per... Pern... Per...
What am I looking for? - [purrs]
- I have to roll the R like that?
- Yes.
- [exaggerated trill] Per, listen to me, man.
I see it. - That's Per. He's my son.
He's already displeased with me and my career choices.
- Your dad, sweet old Ova, right?
He suddenly has a stroke and then boom,
he wants to go down the straight and narrow, huh?
He wants to turn over a new leaf and he gives up
the family business.
- [speaks Norwegian]
- What? - What are you saying?
- I waited my whole life for my moment.
- Right, fathers, they disappoint us, man.
That's what they do, trust me. I know.
Sometimes, in very rare cases, the hospitals
that care for them use their secrets
to blackmail their families, right?
- Well, they tried, but I changed the deal,
made myself a partner.
[speaking Norwegian]
- No, you're going into Norwegian again, man.
We don't have the...
- Your friend Lassiter, he got too close.
I didn't think he'd make it after I shot him.
[speaks Norwegian]
- Chief, help me out here. What is he saying?
- How should I know?
- Aren't you Swedish or something?
- No.
- Then did he see my face? Did he remember anything?
Well, there was only one way to find out.
Get him into the right recovery home and watch him.
- Gus? [gasps]
What are you guys doing back here?
- How many of you are there?
- Selene? - Gus?
I went to the hospital. I saw her, your nurse.
- What? - Yeah.
You know, I don't hate her. She's kind, pretty.
I mean, I really wish she wasn't your choice...
- She's not my choice. - No, just stay here!
Stay here! - Stop, stop, all of you!
There's only one way this ends, so let's just get on with it.
She dies first. - Oh, no, you won't!
- Shawn, step back!
- You will not shoot my wife.
She's pregnant.
- What? - Jules, I know and I'm ready.
That's a lie. I'm not ready.
I'm not even sort of ready, but I mean, I figure
once the whole two-year gestation period
plays itself out... I mean, how far along are we?
- Shawn.
- I'm just trying to figure out how much time we have.
I have. We're not talking hours, right?
Like, nothing's gonna break and start cascading, right?
Nothing like... [panting]
- Shawn, if this some sort
of weird distraction move, stop it.
Step out of the open!
- I'm not gonna let you shoot Shules' baby either.
- What's a Shules?
- You people are making my head hurt.
- Shawn, step out of the open or I will shoot you myself.
I am not pregnant.
- Can you two figure this out in your own time?
- Sweetheart, I get it, you wanted to tell me yourself,
but I saw the pregnancy test in your car.
- What? - Excuse me.
Um, may I speak to my friends, please?
- Well, by all means.
Gus, I couldn't find you for two days.
You went radio silent on me,
and I wanted to see how you really felt about us
before I told you.
- Told me what?
- The pregnancy test is mine.
- [gasps] Praise be.
- [gasps]
- Me.
[thuds]
- [grunts] - [groaning]
[dramatic music]
# #
- I know you hate the late night routine,
Carlton, but bottoms up.
- Hey, I don't recognize any of these pills.
- Hmm?
Oh, that's 'cause those ones are different.
Those are designed to make you go to sleep forever.
And if you don't take them,
then I will just throw a shot of this into your drip
and Bob will still be your uncle, I'm afraid.
- Go for it.
- Oh, have it your way, Carlton.
That gorgeous black friend of yours
and his sidekick are not gonna make it back.
They were easy to manipulate.
Truth be told, I like you, Carlton.
You got soft lips and a chest full of hair
plentiful enough to wig all of Destiny's Child,
so trust me when I say this is the last thing
I wanted to do today.
- How can you be mixed up
with something like this?
- Mixed up?
Oh, right, this couldn't possibly be my idea, right?
I mean, as a woman, I must have been compromised
or forced to participate, right?
This was all my idea. All my baby.
And that Boy Scout Herschel couldn't be more oblivious.
And all you had to do was lie there
and eat those ice chips, but no,
you and the get-along gang just could not leave
well enough alone.
[tense music]
- [exhales]
[gloves snap]
- Open your eyes, Carlton.
You're not going anywhere.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to put my foot down.
- I think I'm done.
I'm no good to anyone like this.
Can't think straight. I can't walk.
I'm just so tired, Pop.
- Aw, is it your daddy?
Is he back?
Well, you tell him you're gonna see him very soon.
- So tired. - Think about Marlowe.
Think about Lily. They need you.
- Like I needed you?
- I am so sorry that I wasn't with you,
but I promise I didn't miss a single thing.
The day you caught your first fish...
When you hit your first and only home run,
it was a foul ball.
- I know.
- Well, I wasn't going to tell anyone.
I was dead. - [laughs]
- I'm so proud of you, Carlton.
- You said you were gonna be fine.
You said Lassiters tough it out.
I never got to say good-bye.
- Yeah.
It was supposed to be a routine bypass.
It was a blood clot.
But you, you have a choice.
You are not done yet.
- What if I don't get better?
How am I supposed to teach Lily how to fly fish
with just one working hand?
- You will get better, so live for us both.
Be the husband and father that I didn't get to be.
You gotta fight, Carlton. Fight for your family.
Fight for your queen.
- Just so tired, Pop.
Just let me sleep for ten minutes.
- Oh, that's it.
Sweet, sweet surrender.
It's all gonna be over soon.
- Carlton, get up.
Don't give up, Carlton. Open your eyes.
[solemn music]
- [shushes]
Good-bye, Carlton.
[gun clicks]
- [gasps]
[gunshot cracks]
- That's my boy.
- How did you get that gun in here?
- He actually has three.
One in the chair, one in the fireplace,
and one right up his chute, a little John Dilly.
- Dad, I got this.
And I forgive you.
I'm sorry. I just miss you so much,
and I'm damn proud to be a Lassiter.
You have the right to remain silent.
[indistinct radio chatter]
- He can go by Danger, he can go by Shaft,
He can go by Shafty, he can go by De'Shaft.
- That's God's comma.
- Yes, it does... has the God comma in it.
- Excuse me, Shawn. - Yes?
- Can I talk to my baby's daddy?
- Of course. - Thank you.
- Come on, son. - Come on, son.
- How are you feeling,
my little chocolate chippy-chip?
- Oh, I'm fine.
You know I didn't really faint before.
I was just resting my legs.
- Yes, rest those legs. - Mm-hmm.
- Now listen.
I know all of this happened very fast.
- Yes.
- So, Burton Guster...
Will you... - Oh, timeout.
Uh, Selene, I think you've flipped-flopped
the situation here.
- Shawn. - You're ruining everything.
This is exactly how I imagined it would go.
- I'm gonna be a godmother.
- Chief. - Hmm?
- She's my best friend.
- [shushes]
- So, Burton Guster, will you make me
the happiest woman on this planet,
on Ares and Pluto...
- And Pluto? - And marry me?
- Yes, I will do that.
[both squealing]
Now... - Ooh.
- Selene, will you marry me
and protect me from spiders and polar bears and...
agree to live next door to Shawn and Jules
and have connecting pools in our backyards
and a lazy river running through our living rooms?
- Oh, that's a ton to unpack. - It is.
- You know what? Yes, I will!
Yes! - What?
- Yes! [laughter]
- Aww, ooh, yeah.
[both squeal]
[both moaning]
- Sure you're not upset about the whole no kid thing?
- What? Oh, not even a little.
- Oh, I love you. - Oh, yeah.
- You're my person. - Yeah.
- Mwah.
Now, we just have one tiny, little detail to iron out.
- What's that? - I'm still married.
- What? - Don't worry about it.
We'll figure it out. - What?
- [squeals]
[cheering]
[upbeat music]
- How's it feel?
Blessed be the fruit, huh?
# #
all: Yay, yay, yay, yay!
- You guys, uh...
You guys go ahead.
I'm gonna stay behind.
- Wait, here?
- Yes.
I spoke to Butterfly.
She just wants me to live my best life.
Also, she hates me.
I think this is where I'm meant to be.
From now on, I will be Dr. Catalon,
and you two are sworn to keep my secret.
- Excuse me, Dr. Catalon. - Oh!
- I'm sorry to say I'm a bit flummoxed.
There appears to be someone here claiming to be you.

- And I knew the second they admitted you to

- The question is, is she ready to see me?

- Oh, O'Hara, I made her go away.
- I know you did.

one more day stuck in that bed and stuck in this chair.
That woman's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.
- Agree. - To agree.

Hey, wait up! - Sir... sir, stop!

# In Stockholm, they roam #
# In Denmark, they wear little clogs on their paws #
- # They have no fear of death #
# They don't steal children's breath #

- # Ah, the cats, the cats, the cats #
# Round and round they go #
- # Call them gato or chat #
# Tell you I will not #
