Psych

On Friday, my class watched another mystery called 'Psych' case 1- Pilot. I am going to highlight evidences in red, clues in blue and each element in yellow.
The main character or detective in this story, Shawn has extraordinary observation skill and this special ability helps him and his friend, Gus, to solve a crime.
Shawn solves one crime for police and he goes to the police station to get the reward. Before he meets the chief, he sees one criminal and finds red splits of glasses on his shirt. Then Shawn tells him to get rid of that because he knows that it will be an importance evidence for police to solve the crime. The criminal thanks him and brush out them. He finds that some pieces went inside the criminal's left boot but stays quiet. Right then, the chief calls him to come and Shawn went inside, expecting to get a reward. However instead of getting a reward, he becomes number one suspect because chief thought his explanation was so perfect that only the criminal can explain like that. Shawn was getting into a trouble but he lies that he is a psychic. Then he acts like strange man and says that the evidence police is looking for will be in the criminal's left boot. (He knows this because he saw the red splits of glasses falling into his left boot.) The chief goes to look if he's right and actually he was right. Then, another police officer comes and asks him to solve a kidnapping crime because Shawn said he has psychic power and they thought it would help them to solve kidnapping crime.
So, the crime is that somebody kidnapped Mr. Mccallum Jr. Shawn and Gus went to Mr Maccallum's house to find some evidences or one of the steps of investigation. They find out that Mccallum. Jr always go with his dog everywhere. Then Shawn and Gus who are detectives, goes to Mccallum's cabin and finds a dog there. So that proves that Mccallum Jr. stayed in the cabin. Then they call the chief to the place and Shawn acts as if he used psychic power to find a dog. After finding the dog, the chief calls SWAT team to surround the cabin. When Shawn looked close at the dog, he finds that dog has bloody whisker. Then in the cabin, Shawn and Gus finds a bunch of evidences such as coffee machine, cup, two victims, Mccallum and his friend, a broken tip of a table and gun in Mccallum Jr's friend's hand. Later, Shawn and Gus together steal the bag from the man and at first, they found a bunch of clothes in it when they actually expected that there were 5 million dollars in it which are for ransom money. There is a sense of danger in chase between Shawn and the guy. But after they stole a bag, they arrange 5 dollar bills and finds that the bag can exactly hold 5 million dollars. However, Shawn finds out that the kidnapper wanted the things done really quickly and not wanted the ransom money. Then, Shawn starts to suspect Mr. Mccallum but nobody believed Shawn. Everyone thought that Mccallum's friend killed Maccallum and suicide. But Shawn realises that the case is going totally wrong. When he looked at Mr. Mccallum's wounded wrist, Shawn thinks that Mr. Mccallum's alibi, which was he cut his wrist off because he was so devastated, was red herring. There is also a sense of tension when Shawn tells Mr. Mccallum what he thinks. He says that Mr. Mccallum was just thinking about the security of his son. So he gave ransom money and while he was driving back, he found something strange. He found a familliar car on the road. It was Mccallum Orso's. He knew where he lives. He also knew where his cabin is. When he went into the cabin, he found his son making coffee. He was so mad at his son that he accidentally killed his son. Later, Mccallum Orso comes in and finds Mr. Mccallum and Mccallum Jr. dead. Then, Mr.Mccallum shot him and made it look like Orso had done everything. But Mccallum Jr's dog watched the crime scene which means that it is witness and bit his wrist and that was how he lost his wrist and the reason why the dog's whisker was bloody.
Shawn knew that Mr. Mccallum was a villian. Then Shawn calls the police and acts as if he is not Shawn told them to capture Shawn and Gus. When the chief was about to put Shawn into his car, Shawn wails, "Arrgh!! There is a dog's fresh teeth mark!! It is still fresh! Check his wrist! Check his wrist! Arrgh!!"
Then the police officer says that she is going to check his wrist right now. Then, Mr.Mccallum confessed that he did the crime accidentally. This shocked everybody (Surprise ending).

This was a really great movie and I think this is better than Monk. This one had surprise ending but Monk didn't. As I said last time, I think surprise ending makes movies or books fun and very interesting. Maybe next time, I will watch another case, "Spelling Bee".
