Psych

Hey, Deacon.

Hey, Tina.

I don't believe you've met Jimmy Brigham.

He's president of ADP Security.

- Oh. - Tina.

Well, it's an honor to finally met the man

behind those fine security guards

that keep businesses safe around here.

Thank you.

Little Tina here went from high school dropout

to shepherding the millions of dollars

that flow through this charity.

Any chance I can hire you away to be my CFO?

- Hey, hey... - You sure you need me?

Because of Deacon's hard work,

crime is down 70%.

Come, I'll show you to your table.

- Okay. - Okay, I'll see you later.

Deacon Jones!

Tony and Drake. What's up?

Clemons brothers.

How are you guys? Good to see you.

- It's good to see you too. - Uh, where's Joon?

He was supposed to be here.

We changed all our schedules to accommodate him,

- and he still blew us off. - Sucker.

- Punk-ass. - Buster. I'm Burton Guster.

Tony and Drake's friend from college.

- Glad to meet you. - Shawn Spencer, Tony's friend

from the last time he came to town and got kidnapped.

Well, I'm really honored that you guys would choose

to come perform for us tonight.

No, we're the ones that are honored.

You're in Blackapella?

We all know that every great R&B band

- needs a token white person. - What?

The Black Eyed Peas have Fergie, Debarge had Debarge,

and there's that hassidic rapper...

Matisyahu.

He's a solo artist, Shawn.

Yeah, but it's still weird,

don't you think, Gus?

By the way, we're not called Blackapella.

We're called Quarter Black now.

We are?

Uh-uh...I also noticed you got it wrong in the program.

Okay, Shawn, remember we're here to honor Deacon Jones,

not worry about our credits in the program,

or a name that still doesn't make any sense.

It makes perfect sense.

There's three of us and one of you.

- If anything, we should be call-- - Gus!

You're embarrassing yourself in front of the group.

Deacon, you know we'd do anything for you.

Let me tell you something, this man right here,

he saved our lives.

Yeah, Tony and Drake told me

how they were heading for the gang life as kids,

and how you rescued them.

These two guys are my proudest achievements.

Excuse me, Deacon, we're about to start.

Uh, this is Tina.

She handles all our finances.

- Oh, hey. - Hi.

Hello.

Kudos on the Asian Lori Petti look.

Congratulations on your skinny Chaz Bono look.

Thank you very much.

- Was that a compliment? - No.

I'm wearing boots because I was helping out

at the right now boot camp.

There's a camp just for boots?

It's where they teach kids wilderness stuff

and the value of teamwork.

It's time for your introduction, Deacon.

And then you three go on after that.

Four. We're a foursome.

Okay. Come on.

- Okay, well, knock 'em dead. - All right.

Thanks a lot. Let's go, let's go.

Fellas, okay, let's do our warm-up exercises.

All right. Mi mi mi mi.

Shawn, you okay?

Gus, I think you're going to have to get me to a hospital.

Thank you, everybody.

We're Blackapella.

Quarter Black! We're called Quarter Black!

All right, give it to me straight, how bad is it?

Your appendix burst.

- Oh, God. - They removed it.

- Am I gonna die? - Yes.

Someday. But not from this.

Still, I've lost a vital organ.

One that's absolutely crucial for human survival.

Gus, I assume you're prepared to give me yours.

- Uh, no. - So I can jump higher.

What? That makes no sense, Shawn.

Besides, you don't need your appendix.

In fact, medical science is having trouble deciding

if the appendix is any use to the body at all.

The doctor said all you need is a few days here

to recover from surgery.

So you're telling me that my insurance

won't cover the transplant.

You guys are trying to protect me from the fact

that I'm gonna spend the rest of my life

in a gigantic plastic bubble... Just like the movie I'm writing.

They've already made two bubble movies, Shawn.

Yeah, but mine's gonna star Jake Gyllenhaal.

You don't need a transplant, Shawn.

But it is true your insurance would not cover your surgery,

mainly because you don't have insurance.

Which means I'm footing the bill for all of this.

Thanks, pop. And you know, I don't want to impose,

but I would prefer a private room

with an ocean view, and satellite TV

with MLB extra innings.

Keep wishing, I might rip your heart out.

That's an organ you do need.

- Uh, that's a muscle. - Whatever.

Lassie!

Thanks for dropping by, but as it turns out,

I'm probably gonna be okay.

I didn't come here to see you, Spencer.

After you left the community center,

- there was a shooting. - What?

Who got shot?

Stay with us, Deac.

How's Deacon doing?

Well, luckily the bullet went straight through

and missed hitting any vital organs,

but he's lost a lot of blood.

These next two days are gonna be crucial.

Thank you, doctor.

You're my man!

- And you're my Wo-Man. - Mm.

- Come put a baby in me. - Now's not the time, Shawn.

Okay.

Any ideas on Deacon's shooter?

No. All we know is that he went back to the green room

after the fundraiser, and a single shot was fired.

At this point, our only lead is a witness who saw a black SUV

speeding away from the scene.

- Are you sensing something? - Yes.

My pillows are lumpy. Will you give them a floof?

Because of Deacon's stature in the community,

chief wants finding his shooter

- to be our number one priority. - Damn right.

In the meantime, Jimmy Brigham,

his security consultant, is gonna stand post here,

make sure he stays safe.

All right, I'll check in on you later.

Don't worry,

I'll be back on my feet in no time.

Wait a minute, can I--

- Can I walk without an appendix? - Yeah.

We should play this safe.

- Dad? - Yeah?

I want a motorized rascal with a sidecar for Gus.

Not happening.

- You guys heard the news? - Yeah.

Just hope Deacon pulls through.

God willing.

Now we just have to find the perpetrators

- who did this evil deed-- - And kill 'em.

- What? - And bring them to justice!

Man, what's wrong with you?

Look, we want nothing more

than to help bust this lowlife.

- All right. - But...my incapacitation

means that my psychic powers are down temporarily, fellas.

I'm afraid Gus and I are gonna have to sit this one out.

This case is gonna have to go unsolved.

I'm sorry, guys, Shawn is right.

We have to be on the sidelines for this one.

All right. Hey, that's cool.

Yeah, we understand, you know.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You know, why don't we go to the cafeteria

and grab a bite to eat.

Yeah, you know what, I could really use

a rainbow popsicle right about now.

Be safe, guys. Later on we're gonna go

to the A&W.

We need you on this case, Gee Whiz.

Deacon means the world to us.
