1 | The ingredients are all straightforward enough: a girl is kidnapped; her wealthy father wants to move heaven and earth to find her; a homeless man seems to have guilty knowledge, but is actually psychic. |
2 | |
3 | But Garrett--the clairvoyant vagrant--is not lyrically crazy, like, say, River Tam of ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', but absolutely devastated by his years of enduring visions and other manifestations of people's psychic pain. He isn't unstable, he is ''shattered''. |

5 | That super-rational Fraser even believes him may ''seem'' odd, but Fraser has always been warmly humanistic as well as logical and observant; a trait that here sets him against Vecchio and, even more so, against Agents Ford and Deeter, two arrogant FBI agents sent to find the missing girl. |

7 | Includes a car chase scene that is made ''completely awesome'' by being set to the Tragically Hip's "At the Hundredth Meridian". |

9 | At the very end, we see Fraser's first serious ethical lapse (eavesdropping on Ray and Fran), followed shortly by the first crack in his ironclad self-control (kicking the water fountain). |

11 | !Tropes |
12 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Fran. |
13 | * FingertipDrugAnalysis: Fraser picks out cumin in a chili recipe. |
14 | * LemmingCops: {{Averted}}. The cops in the high speed chase are all shown to be very competent, with the first car to chase the fugitive driving ''backwards'' before doing a hairpin turn at the start of the chase (the guy took off running the other way from behind them). |
15 | * LiteraryAllusionTitle - ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' I.v |
16 | * MadOracle: Garrett. |
17 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished |
18 | * {{Psychometry}}: The homeless man's powers seem to work based on touching objects that belong to the people in his visions. |

20 | * HotPursuit: Accompanied with [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Hundredth Meridian]] by the Tragically Hip. |
