All I'm saying, you can't say there's no such thing as a psychic just because you've never met one.
You're right. I've never seen a zebra, doesn't mean they don't exist.
Never seen a zebra?
Nah.
Never been to a zoo?
Yeah I don't get zoos. You pay money to look at animals, why?
Play nice, Van Pelt's entitled to her opinion.
Not if it's wrong. This is like believing in the Easter Bunny.
Who said there's no Easter Bunny?
Calling? Is that what this is?
Yeah. Calling. Gift if you like, there's no doubt you have it. Why'd you give it up?
It was the suits. Chaffing. Horrible.
Nice cradling.
Play lacrosse?
No. Fast moving sticks scare me.
I talked to your wife...[Patrick begins to stop her] ah, ah... [Kristina pauses] Ever since your wife and daughter were killed, there's a question about that night's events that's been tormenting you, yes? Yes?
Yes.
Your wife wants me to tell you that your daughter never woke up. She didn't know what happened. She wasn't scared, not even for a second.
Are you done channeling? That's it?
That's it.
[Jane looks away]
[Curtly] Thanks.
Goodbye, Mr. Jane.
I don't like it.
Me neither. What's the alternative?
It's immoral.
I don't know about that. Say your brain gets cooked if you use 'em a lot. Make you infertile, too.
What are you talking about?
Microwaves. What are you talking about?
The séance this evening!
We were looking at the microwave!
[As the Psychic is discussing a séance and Jane demanding Rosemary's presence]
She's a departed soul, not a wedding singer. You can't book her in advance.
[Entering the psychic's home]
[Sniff, sniff] Uhm, I smell dead people.
They think you killed their mother.
Well, they don't know anything about me. I loved her.
Of course you did. That's why you gave Rosemary's necklace to your hot new girlfriend.
Well, it's no good to Rosemary, is it? So shoot me, I'm a pragmatist.
That's a good word.
[Talking about Kristina] Excuse me, but you might consider the possibility that she's actually honestly in touch with something beyond your understanding.
That would be golf and musical theater of the 30s and 40s.
So you have done some research on me.
I have now. Red John murdered your family. I'm very sorry for your loss. Is that why you gave up your calling?
Calling? Is that what this is?
Yeah. Calling, gift, as you like. There's no doubt that you have it. Why did you give it up?
It's the suits. Chafing. Horrible.
Okay. Got it. Uh, by her own admission, she's either, uh, a channel for the energy of the departed souls or she's involved in this murder. So you got a choice. You can call ghostbusters or we can take this lady downtown.
You're good.
I like to think so.
Yes, you do.
I think it's important to love one's self. How do you feel about yourself?
Oh, you tell me. And forget about the $500 an hour. I'm on civil service pay.
Okay, for free then. I think you act assured and arrogant, but inside you are troubled with deep guilt and self-loathing. A recent trauma in your past perhaps? But you're more than a little unstable. [To Lisbon] You have your work cut out for you.
If anyone needs arresting, it's Kristina Frye. She knew that Rosemary was in danger. She knew where to find the car, the murder weapon, which means that she either does have supernatural powers or she was involved in the crime.
Come on. She simply did what you do so well. With an air of confidence, she made an educated guess. Where else would you dump a car around here? She's a good guesser.
Well, I guess that's a possibility, too.
Yes, and that's what you object to, isn't it? Not that she's a con artist but that she's so good at it. Maybe even better than you.
Not at all. I... All right, yes. Not better than me, mind you, but she is good, and it's the good ones that are the most dangerous.
