Are you here to investigate me?

Tonight on Simon and Simon.

I feel him.

A psychic predicts a string of bizarre murders.

You're more interested in the psychic than you are the visions.

I once went out with a girl who was into pyramid power.

There's been five murders around here in the last three months.

She doesn't see him coming up from behind her. Turn around!

Can you see her? I can't see anything.

Morning, Julie. I need a quarter pound of Port Royale.

Hi, Debbie.

Shopping for AJ, huh?

That stuff looks old enough to vote.

I'll wrap it up for you. Just stick a choke chain on it and I'll make it heal.

How much is that?

That's $7 .95.

Well, this is for A .J. You keep the change. Okay. Bye.

All right. See you later.

Thanks again.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Give me a hand.

Here you go.

Mornings have now been issued as far north as Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.

Here in California, weather locally will be perfect for you. Circus with sunny

skies and ocean temperatures on the south -facing beaches reaching 73

Surf predicted to be in the 3 to 4 range.

There are temperatures in the low 80s at the beach.

Closer to home, police in Rancho Los Robles.

We still have no leads in the brutal murders of four women that have

exclusivism.

Damn, not again.

Shut up, will you, please?

Good morning.

Bill.

Occupant.

Bill.

This is one of our bills.

Return to sender address unknown.

Elvis Presley, 1962.

Bill.

Hey.

What are you doing with my mail? There could be something in there for me. Why

would there be anything in there for you? You got a post office box.

You do have a post office box, don't you? Well, see, I kind of got a little

behind on my payment, so they decided to let somebody else use it for a while.

Do you know her?

Sort of.

Since we've already met, let's make it official. I'm Rick Simon, and this is my

brother, A .J.

Hello. And this is... You're Sarah Childs. Sarah Childs. Yeah, won't you

down? Oh, thank you. I was hoping I didn't look as awful as that picture

printed in the paper.

No, no, of course not. No, I saw you on television.

The interview you did after the second murder?

The child psychic who's working on the Rancho Los Robles murders?

I was, until the day before yesterday.

The police have told me that they no longer need my services.

That's why I need your help.

Well, what can we do?

I didn't ask to be involved in the murders, but now that I am, I can't just

being involved.

I'm still getting very strong images.

I would like to hire you to check them out for me.

Uh, do you have any idea what we charge?

Oh, certainly I can afford to pay you.

$350 a day plus expenses.

That's fine.

It's very important to me.

Very important.

Wait. Would you excuse us just a moment, please?

Rick?

What?

Hey, what's the problem?

I like earning money as much as the next fella.

I do not like taking it under false pretenses. What earthly good is this

to do anyone? Come on, AJ. It'll do her some good. She's scared.

If she thought somebody was following her, we'd put in a few hours' work and

give her peace of mind, now, wouldn't we?

Right.

Well, we're all yours for as long as you want us.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Now, I'll tell you exactly what to do.

They found the last victim's car parked outside the gates to her driveway. She

was attacked near the fountain.

And I had an image of something that the police overlooked.

It's a very small, round object.

It's very shiny.

Maybe a mirror, I don't know.

I said, look in the bushes.

I feel certain there was a man hiding there, in the bushes, close to

the house.

AJ?

Round and shiny.

Why don't we take this back to Sarah and see if she can make change?

I'm getting something from it already.

I feel him.

In the bushes, waiting.

Can you see him?

I don't know. It's dark. I can't see.

Now I'm getting something totally different. I'm picking up a vacant lot.

It says a tree stump in the middle of it.

He's been there with one of the victims. Not Mrs. Gerard, but he's been through

the lot with carrying one of the victims.

There's a light, a red light blinking.

What kind of a life? I don't know. I don't know.

I just know that there's something of his in the lot, and it's something he

lost, something he forgot. It just left.

You've got to go there. You've got to find whatever it is and bring it to me.

You know, it's really interesting, the things you learn when you work with a

guy. Yeah?

Like your lifelong interest in and commitment to psychic phenomenon.

Yeah.

Rick, you never even used to believe the ghost stories the counselors told us at

camp. Ah, wrong. I never believed the counselors. Bunch of wimps.

I once went out with a girl who was into pyramid power.

And I saw a fourth nine from outer space ten times. That counts.

Closest thing you've ever had to an out -of -body experience is when you ate the

worm in the bottom of a bottle of mezcal in Tijuana.

You're more into the psychic than you are the visions. A .J.

I'm Andy Simon, front row real estate.

Now, you're probably wondering what we're doing here. Well, this gentleman

planning to build himself a house right here on this prime piece of real estate.

Yeah, I was thinking of putting the pool right over here in this corner here. I

didn't know this lot was for sale.

Ah, we plan to make the owner an offer he can't refuse.

Did the owner know you're here?

You mean right now?

I mean, you mean right now at this particular moment?

I don't know. I don't think so.

It's a good way to get in trouble, Mr. Simon.

See, a lot of the owners around here are pretty jumpy.

Jumpy? What do you mean, jumpy?

There's been five murders around here in the last three months.

Is this where that's been happening?

You didn't say anything about murders.

To hell if I'm going to live in a place like this. Thanks a lot, Donald. I

really appreciate that. Let's go back to your office.

Pookie, come.

Thanks, fella.

Come on. Get in there.

Well, I think he bought it. Do you think he bought it?

Yeah, I think he bought it. Well, then what we have to do is just drive around

the block and come back again.

Rick, I love bacon box as much as the next guy.

It'd be great to comb every inch of that one into three hours of next year.

Well, in other words, let's try an experiment, okay? Let's save us some

our clients some money, all right? Mm -hmm.

Find something in there. Let's find, uh... Oh, your lucky half dollar.

Fine, and if she passes the test, we stay on the case.

Agreed?

Yeah, agreed.

Wonderful.

Another coin.

Blood.

Is he dry?

Blood.

It's on a boy's face.

Under his nose is a torn T -shirt.

And sneakers.

And now other boys are circling around him, cheering.

Yeah, because he's standing over a larger boy who's looking up, kind of

I don't understand. This has nothing to do with it. I don't...

It's back.

Light.

A red blinking light.

He's planning another kill.

The ocean. We're looking. No, no. We're looking down on it.

There's a house and another little house. I see glass all around. It's

Japanese.

Now a pond.

Fish in the water.

Swimming.

She doesn't see. She doesn't see him coming up from behind her. Turn around.

Turn around!

Give me your hand.

No, no, this one.

Yeah.

Circle my finger. Circle my finger.

Quick.

This is... where he will strike next.

It is a house in this area. It overlooks the ocean. It has a fish pond. You've

got to find this house and warn the people who live there.

I can't believe she caught the time you beat up Keith Knotts. Probably the

high point of your life.

I don't know how she does it.

She sure tuned in all right, Channels. That is precisely what worries me. What?

Well, we're following her leads, right?

We could be getting close to this guy and not even know it. But he would.

I'm no psychic, but I got a feeling we better find this guy before it's too

late.

I'll meet you all.

We're looking for a house that has a fish pond in the back overlooking the

ocean. With a fish pond.

Arigato.

was in the neighborhood.

We're looking for a house that's got a little tea house somewhere around it and

a pool somewhere around it that's got fish swimming in it and like that. You

anything like that on the plate?

Yeah, it's right out back.

Lady, the house is right down there.

Lady, the house is right down there.

Excuse us, ma 'am. No, don't get up.

Uh, I was just wondering if maybe we could talk to you for a second.

Simon and Simon.

Confidential investigations.

Just how confidential are you, Rick?

I'm AJ.

We're, uh, very confidential. Uh, are you Mrs. Gentry?

Mm -hmm.

Are you here to investigate me?

Well, uh...

Not really, ma 'am.

See, we're working on kind of a complicated case and a woman who

was hired out.

I'll bet I can tell you why you're here.

That'd be very interesting.

Everybody's a psychic.

I'll bet Tony's wife hired you.

Who's Tony?

Tony's wife didn't hire you to see if Tony and I were... Mm -mm.

Then why are you here?

Do you have a pond in your backyard?

That's why we're here.

I was sure it was Tony's wife who hired you.

She's so certain Tony and I are having an affair.

They're fishing the pond?

Yes. Why?

Did you bring your pole?

Will you two please tell me what's going on? We work for Sarah Child.

You ever hear of her?

The psychic?

Yes, of course.

My God, she's been helping the police on the murders.

Look, this is... This is going to sound a little eccentric, but she had a vision

of a house, a little house just like that behind it, and a pond with fish in

And she thinks that the woman there might be in great danger.

You see this?

Don't move.

It's okay, George.

It's just a demonstration.

You can put your little cannon away.

George is my shadow.

It was my ever -diligent husband's idea.

George has been working with me since the first murder.

Thank you, George.

Now, is there anything else you'd like to warn me about?

But, Lieutenant, what am I supposed to do? Calm

down, sir. I have to go buy the book on this one. Oh, you don't understand.

Someone knows that I'm getting close to the murder, and he wants to stop me.

There are other possible explanations. What?

Well, maybe one of your clients didn't get the fortune you predicted for him,

right? You know I don't make predictions like that, Lieutenant.

Please don't abandon me.

There's nothing I can do about it. Please. I'm sorry.

Who are you two?

I'm Sophie. It's Mrs. Childs. Is she all right?

She will be as soon as she comes back down to earth.

How'd you two float in here on the astral plane?

It's okay. They're friends.

If you really are friends, you keep her away from Rancho Los Robles. Now, we

can't use her help.

That goes for any of her friends, too.

Be all right.

Be all right.

This horse keeps popping up at me. I'll tell you what.

Give me ten to win on bone crusher in the eighth.

I know the jockey who rides him. He's a good kid.

He's going to win this race.

Hello, fellas. Look, I'll be right with you, okay? Also, give me five across on

Molly's Revenge of the Night.

That should do it.

You got it, Myron. I'll talk to you later.

Myron, you bring your bookie with you on a stakeout?

Hey, I gotta get down. I mean, I gotta make my bets.

Myron, I don't suppose you've noticed what's been going on out here on the

street, have you? You mean the gunshots?

Yeah. Oh, I got that all checked out. Oh, good.

Girl's okay. Fine.

I got something for you, but, uh...

I think we got to renegotiate our terms here first.

Forget it, Myron. We had a deal.

Hey, I was going to do it for you as a favor.

I am out of the investigating game, remember?

Oh, I forgot about you. That's right. I'm enjoying my retirement.

You guys call. Now, that's not what Janet said.

What did Janet say?

Janet said that you're picking people out of the phone book at random and

tailing them just for the hell of it. That's crazy.

Yeah, we thought so, too.

I want 100 bucks plus expenses for what I got.

50. Flat. No expenses.

I got the license number of the guy who fired the shots at her.

75. Cops.

What is this, a mercy mission?

Yeah. Let's have it.

Thank you.

By the way, I think you guys might like to know the guy who fired the shots at

her. He spent about a half hour in there talking to her first.

Just fine. I'm sorry that I'm late. I've been in court all morning. Oh, trying

to impress us, are you?

Yeah. Well, think of how much more impressed we'd have been if we'd come to

you in your office.

What, and miss this big expensive lunch you two are buying me?

Expensive? If I'm going to risk my job doing your dirty work for you, I think I

should get something in return.

Besides, I really did not want to talk about Sarah Child in my office. What are

you two doing with her anyway? Is she a client or what?

Well, what if she is?

She's not very well thought of in official circles right now, and that's

it mildly.

But the mayor's office has found out that the detectives were consulting with

her, and they offered to crucify the chief of police for using witch doctors.

Oh, that bunch of yo -yos.

Well, it's probably a bum -rapper, Sarah. Yeah.

The Rancho Los Robles case is just too hot right now, and the police have been

getting a lot of adverse publicity as it is.

Did you run the license check for us?

Yeah, that's why I thought you should know the backstory.

The car is registered to Philip Child, Sarah's ex -husband.

Oh, no.

Guys, what about lunch? We just lost our appetites. Debbie, this lady right

here, her tab is on us. I am going

to have the Belgian endive salad.

The cold lobster plate, and I would like the most expensive bottle of French

white wine you have in the house. Thank you.

Um,

on second thought, just give me a chef's salad and vinegar and oil and a glass

of the house white.

Have you told the police about this?

Not yet.

No, we wanted to be the first ones to know. We figured, you know, maybe it's

some kind of new family counseling, taking pot shots at your attitude of

It isn't what it seems. It's exactly what it seems, Sarah. You did it to dupe

the cops. Yes.

That's right.

I did it so the police would take me seriously.

Oh, you've got to be kidding.

I didn't ask to see people getting hurt.

Well, maybe you don't realize it, but sometimes I can feel their pain, and I

always feel their terror.

I wasn't always like this. Before I got married, I wasn't like this. I had an

accident, and I began to see things.

Things I'd never experienced before. Sounds and smells, tastes.

I acquired this. gift. Well, it isn't a gift. It's a curse.

It's ruined my marriage, drove my husband crazy, and it's ruining my life.

And I can't turn it off. I can't just turn it off.

I wish I could.

I wish when the police had asked me to quit.

I haven't told this to anyone except Philip.

But ever since the first of the murders, I've been having visions of myself

trapped in a transparent place I can see right through the walls.

And I feel the murder there with me.

Just the two of us alone.

He's going to bury me there.

Because he knows that I know about him.

So do you understand? I've seen my own death at his hands.

What would you do if you were me?

What would you do?

What a strange couple.

How long have you known them?

Come here, come here, come here.

Come here.

Too bad old Charlie had to go to bed so early.

It's only, what time is it? 4 a .m.? Well, you know doctors.

Up early in the morning.

No fun at all.

On the other hand, doctors, why?

Tony, you know what I'd like.

What?

More champagne?

Right.

I'll stay right here, I promise. I won't budge.

Promise, huh? Promise.

Hey, Diane?

Diane?

Diane?

Uh,

hi, I'm...

Andrew Simon, that's my brother Rick over there.

If you could give that to the lieutenant, I'd appreciate it.

Sarah Childs is out front, and she knows Mrs. Gentry is missing.

How the hell did she find out so quick? That's the thing.

According to these guys, she predicted this would happen.

Yeah.

Bring them back. I don't want to talk to them.

Okay.

Lieutenant,

we'll see you now.

Here's what they say, Drew.

They were here, yeah.

Hey, I don't know what you're talking about. You were the last one to see her

alive. He was having an affair with her.

Maybe she wanted to break it off and he killed her. That's a lie.

If you knew we were having an affair, maybe you killed her to get even with

That's enough, boys. That's enough. Calm down. You're going to get yourself

hurt.

Give me your hand.

Yours? Neither of them had anything to do with the disappearance of the gentry.

Why don't you take her home, give her some soup, and put her to bed?

Maybe she's coming down with something.

Oh, God.

Get me out. Get me out. Okay.

I thought you were in the real estate business.

The housing situation the way it is today?

Are you kidding?

What do you got?

I got the baseball, got a cork, some gum wrappers, and a pencil with the end

shoot.

I got a bottle cap and a beer can and a bra.

A bra?

I don't know whether to laugh.

cry it's not much

that's all we've got left to try must be something of his in here

it's a group of young girls

no more than nine or ten i one of them stole this from her mother's drawer

The girl took turns trying it on over their clothes, pretending.

It's from a Sandlot game a long time ago.

Oh, nothing's coming to the pencil.

There is something.

This is it.

There's something. He left or dropped.

He was waiting.

That lot had to be next to one of the victim's houses because I feel him

waiting. Can you see him? What does he look like?

He's a shadow. I can't. I don't... A flashing red light. I see it again.

All right, now try to see him, his face.

I can't. I don't know. Try.

Wait.

I have someone.

It's not him, it's...

Who is it?

Rancho Los Robles Security Patrol, Mrs. Childs. Officer Reimers.

They found the body, didn't they?

Where I said they would.

Yes, ma 'am.

In a trash bin.

That's why I'm here.

My boss wants me to bring you by so you can have a look around.

Maybe you can tell us something.

You mean he's willing to use the psychic?

We're not quite as narrow -minded as the police are.

Whoever is killing these people is making us look like fools, Mrs. Charles.

We're responsible for the people of the estate.

And frankly, we'd like to be the ones to catch him.

Why don't you come in a minute? I'll just get a sweater.

All right, if we get out of here?

Yeah, Bill.

Hey.

Tell her thanks.

Rick?

Yeah. May I ask you that for a moment, please?

Is that part of the uniform?

Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

Security patrol.

Oh, yes, Mrs. Flaxman.

All right, all right, I'll send someone right over. Just stay locked in your

closet till someone gets there.

I'm sure she's got a phone in her closet.

Hey!

What are you... You can't do that! Who are you? Ma 'am, do you have a log? Do

you have a log of your office? There are times, there are routes, there are all

of that. Yes, yes. Matthew, please.

Who are you, for heaven's sake? Matthew, the log, please.

Is this going to get me in trouble? No, ma 'am.

Thank you.

How we doing? You getting an answer?

No.

Maybe she's taking a shower. Maybe she went out somewhere.

AJ?

Whose desk is this?

Of the Reimers.

Which one is C?

Picture on the left. He's the one in the middle, kneeling.

Reimers was on duty the night of every murder.

You slapped him on the shoulder.

Yeah.

Remember? Yeah.

You gave Sarah the lucky half dollar. You just slapped him on the shoulder.

She asked to see your hands. You gave her your right hand, the one you slapped

him with.

Can you beep Reimers for us?

No. He's got his paper turned off.

He's been doing that a lot lately.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Oh, my God. It's you, isn't it?

Isn't it?

What? All right, now, what was it she said? She saw a house, a building, and

could see through it. Transparent. Yeah, transparent.

A house under construction. Do you handle the security for any of the

construction sites around here? Not really.

Oh, but we've got that new hotel on Travis Road.

Travis Road. Call the police. Tell them to meet us up there.

Come on.

Get up.

Get up.

Right over here.

Get in there.

Get in there.

It's not important.

But I just want you to know, you're not one of them.

It's the rich ones.

They're down there cowering in their fancy houses.

They deserve it.

They deserve everything they get.

You see, I wasn't good enough for the police force.

But the funny thing is, they hired me to protect them.

You know,

Tomorrow, they'll be digging here.

And when they do...

Can you see her? I can't see anything.

All right, keep moving. You got it.

It's okay, baby.

It's all over.

It's all over.

Hey, thank God you're not right about everything, huh?

That's a girl. That's a girl.

It's all over now.

That Sunday dinner, you forgot to mention anything about volleyball.

That was before I met Arthur Jansen.

I tell you, any dentist who kayaks to Catalina and back has got a few loose

fillings. That's what I think.

There's nothing wrong in believing in life after 60.

Go slow, Mom. He sounds a little... physical.

Yes, I know.

Oh, that reminds me. Art wanted you boys to bring an old football, too.

A his or two new for the beach.

Well,

the perfect fit.

Yes, it is.

Who is Mary Sue?

Mary Sue, Mary Sue. Oh, of course, Mary Sue Scott. That was one of Rick's old

girlfriends. In fact, I can remember when she left it here.

We better get a move on here because Art's probably down there doing warm

right now. I'm getting very strange.

Impressions of you all of a sudden.

Impressions of what, Sarah?

Uh, nothing, Mom.

I'll tell you later, Mom. No, you won't. Well, maybe I'll tell her. What is

this, a conspiracy?

What's it worth to you, Rick? What's it worth to you?
