Ghost Whisperer

Did I tell you what's going on with Ned?

He brings this girl home, and I barely have time to approve of her or not,

and then he says, you know what, mom, she's not the girl for me.

And I'm like, Ned, I thought I liked that girl.

What?

Oh, my god.

Rick: Graffiti here in Grandview?

Are you sure there was graffiti?

I mean, was the handwriting nice, at least?

Ok, this isn't funny,

and we're not just talking about some random tagger.

It was meant for me.

Well, I wouldn't worry about it.

It's probably some stupid prank, some kids.

Why would they write that?

All right, have you been on and shame the devil lately?

- What? - Justin Yates' obnoxious blog?

No.

Well, there's been some chatter lately, a bunch of posts, about you.

A person of interest in Grandview who claims to have more than a passing acquaintance with the dead.

I've heard about a store in town where really weird stuff happens.

I can't believe this.

It's like he's trying to out me.

How long has this been happening?

I don't know, a week.

But don't even pay attention to it.

You should see what they write about me.

He knows things, thanks to your careful

and thorough notes that you let him steal,

he knows everything about me.

Do you have any idea what my life is going to be like if this gets out?

I didn't let him steal my notes.

He stole my notes 'cause he's clever, he's cunning.

He lives on campus, right?

Take me to him.

You put this out there, Justin.

I thought you were going to keep my secret.

Why are you trying to hurt me?

I'm not trying to hurt anybody.

People come to my blog for the truth.

Oh, yeah, 'cause you're all about the truth.

Look, this is a bad time, ok?

Hey, Justin, this might be a good time to tell you

about a fascinating new invention called the hanger.

Besides, according to the professor's notes,

you've helped a lot of people.

You've affected a lot of people.

I mean, how long do you expect to keep this a secret?

Exactly, Justin, I have helped a lot of people.

And if this gets out, my life is going to be turned upside down.

Rick: Interesting choice of words.

Hey, give that to me.

Look, I came to you a long time ago with a lot of questions,

and you gave me nothing, and now you want my help?

I don't want anything from you.

I just want to be left alone.

That may not be possible.

Ghost Whisperer 3x14 The Gravesitter

It could be anybody.

I mean, that's what's so scary.

Someone who saw me doing something,

or someone who talked to one of the families that I've helped.

This is what I always dreaded--

some nutjob out there decides you're a witch.

Can't the Justin fellow trace this on his blog?

Well, he's not being very cooperative.

I'll make him be cooperative.

Look, this may not even have anything to do with Justin or his blog.

I mean, last time I talked to him,

he said that he would keep my secret.

And you believe him?

Yes.

Because he wants something in return.

Uh, what would that be?

I don't know, he hasn't told me yet.

All right, so meanwhile, you're in the bulls-eye of some potential lunatic,

could be someone you see everyday, a customer, a dealer.

Or Payne could be...

right and it could just be a school kid prank.

Look, I know you don't need to hear this,

but maybe we need to talk to the police.

Look, this could just be a one-time thing.

Ok?

Let's not panic. It'll probably never even happen again.

How many people do you think saw that before we got here?

We should just paint something new on the window every night,

like, sacks fifth avenue.

This is really scaring me.

I mean, what if whoever or whatever is doing this,

decides to take things to a whole new level?

Melinda, you should call the police. You know that.

I don't even think the police can protect me.

With everything that I've learned about Grandview's history,

for people who do what I do, it never ends well.

I really have to figure out who's doing this.

I have an idea.

I need to go home for 2 seconds.

I'll be right back.

We will leave this on tonight,

and this should give us a perfect view of whoever's doing this.

Or the world's most boring documentary of main street.

Yeah, let's hope so.

All right, let's just leave it there, forget all about it,

and have a great day.

Right. Time to make money, have fun.

I'll open up.

Yo.

Yo.

Dude, I live downstairs.

What's the deal with the noise every night?

What noise?

Well, it kinda sounds like you're bowling with your furniture.

Yeah, well, it wasn't me tonight, dude.

I was just sleepin'.

Oh, yeah? With who?

Thor, roman god of thunder?

You mean Jupiter.

Thor's the norse god of thunder.

Oh, is that right, Joseph Campbell?

Whatever.

What would it take to get some silence up in here, man?

You could stop talking and leave.

Dude, your hamster habitat is like so upside down right now.

It's a gerbil, and he likes it that way.

Are we done?

I don't believe it.

Ok...

here, give me the cord.

All right.

Keep going.

Whoa, whoa, wait.

Melinda: Why would you do this to me?

I didn't do anything.

What kind of person are you?

I was here sleeping all night.

Justin, we have it on tape.

You don't know for sure that was me.

Do you want to see the tape again,

or should I just see if the police agree with me?

Why don't you just cut the B.S.

And tell us what's going on?

Yeah, and why the hell everything in this room is upside down.

Ok.

Um, here.

Check this out.

You tell me what's going on.

Are you saying you don't have any memory of this?

None.

As far as I know, I was asleep.

Why did you paint witchcraft on my window?

And what does the awdring of the woman with the wings mean?

I think it means I'm haunted.

Justin, I don't see ghosts anywhere.

Just you, defacing my property.

And I want it to stop.

Yeah, well, me too.

Ok, I got a lot to do, so you guys should just go.

You know what, that's the wrong answer.

Look, just leave me alone!

I think what you're talking about is somnambulism.

It's a lot more common than you might think.

It happens mostly in children, but it does happen in adults.

For example, my college girlfriend,

I think she was asleep for our entire relationship.

What causes it?

Uh, I don't think she saw my spark.

I'm talking about sleep-walking.

Well, you'd have to ask a doctor to get that answer,

but it could be a lot of things.

Could be anxiety, it could be a reaction to drugs or alcohol.

It could be a way to avoid people you see in the street and don't want to talk to.

Oh, I'll remember that the next time you come into the store.

That's harsh.

Look, I just--I don't know whether I'm supposed to be afraid of him or help him.

Well, we don't really know this guy,

so I'll talk to some other professors he has

and I'll ask some kids, to see what they know about him.

I'll keep an eye on him, too.

I just want to know what his secret is, you know,

before anything else happens.

Man: Justin Yates?

I'm actually in two of his classes.

But he doesn't talk to me, or anybody else.

The dude is like an island, like onto himself.

Ok, moving past the awkward similes,

maybe he just hangs out with a different crowd.

Maybe he just doesn't like you.

Everyone likes me, professor Payne.

It's like a curse, I swear.

But this dude Justin, he just doesn't like people.

He's like a disanthrope.

Misanthrope.

You were close, though.

Well, I'm glad you're getting your money's worth on education here, Josh.

Is there anything you can tell me at all about Justin Yates?

I don't know what he's doing up there in his room at night,

but it's real noisy.

It's got something to do with his gerbil.

I think we're done here.

Jim: He looks like a zombie.
