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''.
4
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.
6
7	Includes a car chase scene that is made ''completely awesome'' by being set to the Tragically Hip's "At the Hundredth Meridian".
8
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).
10
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.
19	* TitleDrop
20	* HotPursuit: Accompanied with [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Hundredth Meridian]] by the Tragically Hip.
