My name
is melinda gordon.

l'm married, l live in a small town,
and l own an antique shop.

l might be just like you.

Except that from the time l was a little
girl, l knew that l could talk to the dead.

Earthbound spirits,
my grandmother called them.

They're stuck here because they
have unfinished business with the living

and they come to me
for help.

ln order to tell you my storyry,
l have to tell you theirs.

H- help me.

Can you get me out of here?
Can anybody hear me?

l can hear you.

And l know
your secret.

What secret?

That you are seriously in touch
with your inner child.

What can l say?
Easily amused.

No, l love that
about you.

You know, large shoes,
big, red nose, and l'm all set.

- Where did ned go?
- Hey, houdini.

How about making
an appearance?

You said l wouldn't
have to stay.

Yeah. l also said...

that you would
have to explain why.

l have a really important
math project due tomorrow.

l was actually counting on another
pair of hands today.

Will these do?
l'll stay.

l hope you're
not upset.

As long as you're
ok with it.

Cool. Thanks, mom.
Thanks, melinda.

lf he even cracks a ''c''
on this project,

l can live with getting
a ''c'' on my parenting.

So, what do you
need me to do?

Close up.
We're going shopping.

...This place for the last 20 years
l never thought l'd have to leave.

Business is that slow?

Ever since eba
dead as a doornail.

Well, you could sell
your stuff online, too, or...

get somebody else to do it
and sell your stuff

from the comfort
of your own home.

Aw, nah. l'm too much of a people
person. l'd miss talking to folks.

Melinda, you have
to look at these.

See what l mean?

Oh. l didn't know
that l had put those out.

Are these not for sale?

Uh, n-no. No, they're for sale.
Everything must go.

l can understand why you
wouldn't want to part with them.

They're gorgeous.

Wow. Hand-painted
on the front.

Are they
christmas ornaments?

Oh, well, could be,
or whatever you like.

lf you don't get these, l'm gonna
get them for the store myself.

Ok, l'll take them.

You have a good eye, delia. You can go
shopping with me anytime you want.

Oh, you're gonna be
sorryry you said that.

So where do you
want me to put these?

Oh, we don't
have to do that now.

Are you kidding?

l haven't been this jazzed
since l sold my first house.

Seems like
a thousand years ago.

And please don't tell ned.

l want him to think that covering his
hours was a huge sacrifice for me.

You know what?
l think this shelf isn't level.

You wanna put a piece of
wood right underneath this leg.

You know, maybe we could just keep
the ornament in the box for now.

P.O.P. - ''Point of purchase.''

You always wanna put some out front
where everyryone can see them.

- l'll think about that.
- That's the point.

You don't wanna think.
You just wanna buy.

Can you just
put them back, please?

S- sure.

l didn't mean to-

it's just sometimes
when l have new things,

l like to hold off on putting them out
until l'm really sure where they're going.

l understand.

Melinda, l am so sorryry.
l just...

get carried away
sometimes.

Me, too. l guess l'm
just a little on edge.

l know it's not easy
being your own boss.

l used to think that l was
gonna open up my own place,

have a little store
like this one.

l was either gonna call it delia's
decorations or the curbside curator.

And why didn't you?

l got married, l had ned,
and then the concept

of someday just becomes
a little more abstract.

Uh, how did you
get into real estate?

When my husband died.

l had to think of
a plan ''b'' in a hurryry.

There's no time to grow
a small business.

l had to get out there
and make some money, so...

got my real estate license.

Could you grab some newspapers
and maybe check for estate sales?

Sure. No problem.

As soon as you can,
before they run out.

On my way.
Want anything else?

- No. Thanks.
- Ok.

Who are you?

What's going on?

What's happening?
Talk to me. l can help.

Stop it.
Don't do that.

Just please stop it.

Please. Stop it!
Aah! Stop! Please.

Can you see me?

So you can see and hear this ghost,
but he can't see or hear you?

Yeah. How's that for
a cruel twist of fate?

Maybe this ghost
is deaf and blind.

lt's like
he's trapped here,

being tormented by these
christmas ornaments.

Not everyrybody likes
the holidays.

He's definitely tryrying to get rid of
them. lt's like they're alive, breathing.

l've never seen
anything like it.

Where are they now?

Well, l was hoping
the answer was hidden,

you know, deeply away
somewhere in the store.

- Well, they're pretty.
- l wish you could see this.

Let me hold you.

- Can't l touch you?
- No!

Don't do that.
No. Stop it!

Leave me alone!
No. Stop it!

Come on.
Keep breathing.

- Stand up. You're all right.
- What happened?

You tell me. You just
blacked out there for a while.

L- l felt scared and really angryry.
lt was overwhelming.

- Maybe you should sit down.
- No, l don't think l can.

l should walk it off.

- Did you see anything?
- Yeah, l did. 2 people hitting each other

and some kind
of fight.

Ok, l want this ghost
out of here.

lf the ghost wants
to destroy these ornaments,

he can't do it himself,
fire is the best way

that l know to destroy
something made of wood.

lf l do it for him,
he can cross over.

- ls he gone?
- Yes.

Come on.

Oh, l am so hungryry.

Ey're back.

So is he.

Professor payne?

- Professor payne.
- Go away!

l changed my mind!
No student office hours today!

l'm not a student. lt's melinda
gordon. You helped me before.

Ow! Note to self-

stop helping people.

What are you looking for?

Well, before l hit my head, l was
looking for my lunch.

lt's in a paper bag.

Oh. Brown-bagging lunch.
That doesn't sound like you.

Ms. Gordon. All right.
What do you have for me, huh?

Bunch of ambiguous
questions that you probably

- already know the answers to?
- You give me too much credit.

Maybe not enough credit. Hmm?

ln your studies,
have you ever come across

a situation where a spirit can
make an object appear in our world?

- Materialization?
- l guess.

What l'm talking about is an
object that the spirit can see

and touch and that we
can see and touch, too.

Let's hope it's jewelryry
and cash then, huh?

Yes or no?

Look, l've heard of it,
but l don't believe it.

- And why not?
- Because l don't believe in ghosts!

How can you study this stuff
and not believe in it?

l don't study the stuff,
ms. Gordon.

L- l study people's need
to believe in the stuff,

people like you standing
in front of me, looking...

Looking beautiful. And smelling delicious
is what- that perfume, is that french?

Let me smell it.

Ok, let's just assume for a minute that
spirits exist and they can move objects.

Yeah. They called apports.

lt's from the french word
apporter. lt means ''to bring.''

Bring what?

More of that perfume you're wearing,
'cause seriously, it's making me bananas.

l'm kidding.
Unless l'm not.

Ok, l'm kidding.
Um, it brings clarity,

deeper understanding,
aside from the literal,

you know, interpretation
that an apport

is sent from beyond
to the living,

maybe it's a manifestation
of something that's so important,

you know, something
really symbolic.

So if a ghost couldn't talk,

they would maybe make an object
appear as a way of communicating.

- And can these apports move on their own?
- Yeah, and cats can water-ski.

- ls that why they glow?
- Cats don't glow!

- Apports.
- l know you're talking about apports!

- Why are you yelling?!
- l'm not yelling.

l'm yelling, right?!
l make that mistake.

l'm sorryry.
l tend to disassociate.

- That's an understatement.
- Wh-what do you want?

Why are you here?
Do you have an apport at home,

and it's just glowing
with ghostly energy? Whoo!

Well, if that's true, why don't you
bring it in so we can test it?

Why would l have
an apport?

l mean, there's no such thing.
lt's make-believe, right?

Ah. You... you baffle me!
You little minx.

Aw, l had a feeling
you'd be back.

- Really?
- l know a repeat customer when l see one.

- Still got a few things left.
- Any more ornaments?

No, don't worryry.
You've got the only ones.

l was hoping you could tell me
where you got them.

- Why?
- ln case they have any more.

Well, l doubt
that there are.

Yeah. Pretty unique.

Well, l don't know
where they came from.

lf l did, l'd let you know. Now, if you
excuse me, l gotta get back to my packing.

Maybe the ornaments just
appeared out of nowhere.

How do you mean
''just appeared''?

Last night, a set of ornaments
just like the ones

that you sold me just appeared
on my kitchen table.

- l thought l was going crazy.
- You're not.

l racked my brain
tryrying to remember

if l picked 'em up
from someone yesterday

or if l saw someone
drop 'em here at the stall.

What about a man
in his mid-thirties,

um, short, brown hair,
stubble, pale skin,

a little disheveled,
doesn't like to look you in the eye?

Shifty l tend to remember,
but no, no, he's not ringing a bell.

lf l see anybody like that,
l'll let you know.

Please.

Melinda...
Wait.

l just found this.

- l'll buy it from you.
- Uh, no, no, no.

Y- you take it.
L- l think you should have it.

Ok.

l need your real-estate
expertise to find this house.

lt sounds like
an amazing house,

but you don't remember
where it is?

Uh, l've never been.
A client of mine told me about it.

He can't remember
the address?

He's not from around here.
ls he looking to buy?

Do l have a shot?

Uh, l'm not so sure
he could swing a mortgage,

but he's got me curious.
l'd love to see it.

This is the website
that tracks

all of the residential
properties in the area.

You can go ahead and
use my account number

and just put in as many
details as you can

and then search the database
and see if you find the house.

lf you convince him to buy,
will you steer him my way?

Thank you.

Well, at least now the ghost
is, uh, communicating with you.

Oh, yeah.
We're like this.

He won't talk to me, look at me,
or even acknowledge my presence.

Well, you did say it takes some
longer than others to adjust to death.

Yeah. Everyrybody deals
with death differently.

l think delia's having
a hard time with it.

Oh, yeah?
Did you talk to her?

l've been meaning to, but l
haven't really had the chance. Oh.

That's it.
That's the house.

Hello?
ls anybody home?

Hello.

Hello.

Miss.

Give me a minute.

- She ok?
- Physically, she's fine.

She's just completely withdrawn.
She won't talk.

Sounds like
somebody else l know.

The woman's
christine nelson.

Found her picture l.D. lnside.
And he's, um-

well, he was dennis hightower.
l don't know if that does you any good.

Something terrible must have
happened in this house.

l mean, do you remember
the first vision l had?

- 2 people fighting.
- l have to get him to talk to me.

Look, you found his body.

Maybe that's all he needed to
resolve before he could cross over.

But he's still here.

Yeah, well, the police
will be, too, so...

Dennis Hightower.

Are you surprised that
l found out your name?

- Your name?
- Melinda.

lt's really nice
to meet you.

Everything's
gonna be ok now.

We found your body.
You can cross over.

All you have to do
is go into the light.

Dennis, can you
see the light?

- You see the light?
- No. l can'T. Only you can.

ls there something else
that you need?

Something that
l can help you with?

Tell me
what happened to you.

What happened to you.

You know that
you're dead, right?

- Right.
- Who did this to you?

Understand me.

Coroner's report says it looks
like dennis was poisoned.

Why didn't he
tell me about that?

Maybe l'd be better off if l
talked to christine.

Let the police do that.

l mean, he obviously
led me to her for a reason.

She might be
an important part of his life.

She might be an
important part of his death.

No. You think?

Dennis and christine
might be the 2 people you saw

fighting in your vision.

Why would she poison dennis
and then stay with the body?

Guilty don't always
run and hide.

Maybe dennis led
you to the house

not to help christine, but
to help you find his killer.

Why didn't he
cross over?

You're right. You should
tryry and talk to christine.

Do you have
an appointment?

No. l'm, uh, looking for a patient,
christine nelson.

The emergency room at mercy hospital
told me that she was taken here.

- This morning.
- And why was she moved?

Too many heads,
not enough beds.

lf your condition isn't serious,
life-threatening, or fatal,

you get turfed out.
Follow me.

Christine,
you have a visitor.

We met yesterday
at your house.

l'm melinda gordon.

l should get back
to my desk.

l know that the police were here
and you wouldn't talk to them.

l'm not the police,
and l need you to talk to me.

l knew dennis.

l think l know how he died,
but it would help to know why.

Christine,
can you hear me?

lt's gonna take some time
before christine's

communicatmmn skills
are back to where they were.

Ms. Gordon,
dr. Hillaryry sloan.

l thought that she didn't suffer
any physical damage.

She didn'T.

But this kind of change is a lot
for a person with autism to process.

Wait. Did you just
say that christine is autistic?

Do you have a minute?

As you can see,
they like puzzles and games.

Pacing, hand flapping,
rocking back and forth-

they are all coping mechanisms
for people with autism.

You know, there are
high-functioning

people with autism who've learned to
behave in a more socially acceptable way.

A lot of them are loners.

They relate better to objects
than they do to people.

They don't like to talk.

Or look you in the eye.

They don't follow
a lot of our social rules.

Dennis is autistic.

Christine and dennis had lived
together since their twenties.

They were a couple.

Yes. They had a home-care worker
who came over once a week.

Other than that,
dennis took care of her.

- Where did she get this?
- Oh. Um, that's mine.

l sell those in my store. She must
have taken it from my purse.

lt's beautiful.

- lt was the oven.
- l'm sorryry?

l know how dennis died.

Wait, if it was
carbon monoxide poisoning,

how come christine
wasn't affected?

Because it's her ritual everyry time she
comes home to open up all the windows.

- l saw it in a vision.
- She's not a murderer.

- Murderess.
- Touche.

Question is why is
Dennis still here?

l found christine.
She's safe. What more is there?

What l wanna know is
why is dennis still autistic.

lf he's dead,
he should be cured, right?

Mmm, technically, yes.
Everyry soul is perfect.

When they cross over, the handicaps
they had in life no longer affect them,

but if they're earthbound,
sometimes they cling to the familiar.

They can't let go
of who they were.

He did answer your questions
at some point, didn't he?

He's been mimicking me.
lt's called echolalia.

lt's when they echo whatever
you say so you know

that they can hear you,
even if they can't respond.

Ok, so all this time, he has
been communicating with you,

...just in his own way.
- Yes, through the ornaments.

The last one that l touched
showed me how he died.

Let's hope the answer to why
he's still here is in one of those.

These objects, they don't vibrate any
more or less than your average object.

And you can't see or hear anything
coming from inside them?

Like what?
What, a movie?

What am l gonna see, a movie? Listen to,
show tunes? lt's wood. lt's like my head.

Lady, it's normal.

There's nothing normal
about them.

So your ''friend'' said she felt transported
after she held these ornaments?

- Yes.
- Ok. Well, l held these ornaments.

l'm still here.

What time of day did your friend
say she had these visions?

Why is the time of day
important?

Well, yeah. lf she did it
right after happy hour,

- l'd say it's veryry important.
- Yeah, that's real funny.

l thought you would at least
have a professional curiosity about this.

Oh, l'm curious.

l have a lot of curiosity about you,
about what you're doing here.

l just wanna know if you can
see anything in these ornaments.

Melinda, you haven't touched
any of these ornaments

since you've been here,
not directly, not one.

l wanna know what happens when
you touch these ornaments.

- l don't know.
- Yeah, well, l'd like to find out.

This one, the bunny, had a higher
energy rating than the other ornaments.

What happens when you
touch that guy?

You know, l thought you
were a man of science,

and there's nothing
scientific about this.

What's more scientific than
collecting my own empirical data?

No! Stop it!
Mami... Don't leave me!

What? What happened?

What did you see?

l saw a child being taken
from her mother.

Are you telling me
the truth?

All l can say, professor,
if l could walk out of here

knowing that everything
we've talked about was made up,

- l would be the happiest girl on earth.
- Wait. Psychometryry.

What you're talking about
is called psychometryry.

lt's when you get visions or flashes of
the past from touching these objects.

- That makes sense.
- Easy for you to say.

Maybe if you did some more
tests on the ornaments.

l'd like to actually
do some tests on you, melinda.

Thanks for your time.

Melinda, l'm not talking
about root canal here.

l'm talking about
veryry scientific, controlled tests.

They could-
they can help us.

- l'm not an experiment.
- Melinda, listen.

When you get a chance,
just come by.

Come by and talk to me
some more.

This is important.

l don't think it's about him.
l think it's about both of them.

Oh, that's on sale,
by the way.

lt's like it's his memories
of their life together,

you know, how he died,
when he first saw her.

- That makes sense.
- Well, whatever dennis wants,

it has something to do
with christine somehow.

lt's too bad
she won't talk to you.

Maybe she'll respond
to the ornaments.

l thought that l would take them down to
the hospital and see if it could spark anything

Besides, if l leave now,
l can still make visiting hours.

Well, l'd offer to
mind the store, but...

it's ok. l know that you're busy
saving lives while l'm saving the dead.

- Bye.
- See ya.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How'd, uh,
ned do today?

- Oh, l sent him home early.
- Really?

- What did he do now?
- Oh, no. Nothing.

lt's fine.
lt's just l had to close up.

l have an errand to run.

Well, don't let me
keep you.

You just let me know
if he causes you any trouble, ok?

You know, what l hate
is when people ask if you're ok

when you're so obviously not.

Yeah. l hate that, too.

So, are you ok?

L-
no. lt's just...

l don't know.
lt's just been one of those days.

l am so sick
of selling houses.

Everyry time
l turn around,

there's this new couple buying
their house for the first time.

They're arguing about where
to put the office or the guest room.

And if it's not newlyweds,
then it's new parents, and...

they're tryrying to figure out
where the baby room goes.

Everyrybody has
their whole life ahead of them.

How long were you
and charlie married?

Sometimes it feels like
we're still married.

He's been dead
for 3 years now.

l've just been having
such a hard time moving on.

And ned's
been acting out.

l know he needs me, and l am doing
everything l can to be there for him.

l understand.

Anyway-heh.

Why don't you tell me
your secret?

Oh, well, having work that you love
takes your mind off things.

Ah. Well, my work
does just the opposite.

Well, maybe you should
tryry something new.

Like what? Brain surgeon?
Fighter pilot?

Heh. l was thinking of something
even more challenging, like...

why don't you come
and work with me?

- What?
- l need the help really bad,

and l can't pay
as much as one of your

sales commissions,
but it's a steady check

everyry week, and l think
you'd really like it.

- You're serious?
- Yeah.

- What?
- l just can't figure you out.

You're like
some kind of...

guardian angel
or something.

Promise me that you'll
at least think about it.

Bunny.

Tree.

Butterfly.

Cake.

House.

Rocking chair.

What do these mean
to you, christine?

Bunny took me to school.

She wore a butterfly
around her neck.

She taught me
how to ride a bike.

We sat under the tree
in front of the house.

Who is bunny?

Who wore a butterfly necklace
and took you to school?

- She did.
- Who is she?

Mommy.
Mommy is she.

lt's her mother.

These ornaments
symbolize mommy to christine.

ls that what you
wanted me to do...

find christine's mother?

F- find christine's mother.

l did.

Oh, no. No, no, no. They're faceup.
That's- that's the wrong way.

- This is a puzzle?
- This is a puzzle.

Bunny.

That's her mother?

l believe these
were meant for you.

Why did you
give christine away?

You have to understand that
back when christine was born,

people didn't know
that much about autism.

Can you imagine having a child
that won't look at you or smile,

a child that starts to cryry
everyry time you tryry to touch her?

l took christine to a doctor,
and he told me it was my fault.

He said the reason she was autistic
was because l was a bad mother.

That's terrible.

Well, l wasn't the only one.

Said we were refrigerator
mothers because we were

so cold and frigid
that our children had no one

to turn to for comfort,
so they turned inside themselves.

So you let them
take her.

l tried to see her,
to visit, but they said l couldn't,

said if she was ever gonna get
any better, l had to stay away.

Didn't you see her
when she was a grown-up?

Once.

She was living
with a young man.

He was autistic, too.

But it ended up in a fight...

Leave me alone!

l saw that fight.

- Wh-what?
- lt's not important.

What is important is that you
have to tryry again with christine.

She needs you.

lt's my baby girl,
all grown up.

She's still in her
own little world.

Christine, your mother's
here to see you.

C- christine,
it's-it's mommy.

- l am so sorryry.
- l am so sorryry.

lt's ok. She hears you.
Just tell her how you feel.

She's not holding a grudge,
and l promise that she

is not angryry with you.

Doesn't make one bit of difference
to her whether l'm here or not.

That-
that is not true.

S- say, ''love is patient.''
Say, ''love is patient.''

You just have to
be patient.

Sweetheart...

liz, liz, wait.

- This was a mistake.
- She needs you now more than ever.

My child doesn't need me.
She never has.

Everyryone
needs their mother.

But she will never
be able to love me, melinda.

She doesn't even know
what love is.

That's not true. Christine loves.
She just doesn't know how to show it.

Her boyfriend,
he was teaching her how.

You can't teach somebody how to love.
They either feel it, or they don'T.

- Ask her.
- Do you love christine?

l want to, but...

l don't know how
if she can't love me back.

Well, then you have to
show her love first,

even if it means
she doesn't know how to love you.

l think all dennis wants is just for
you to be in christine's life again.

That's what l want, too.

Thank you.

l hope this is what you wanted.
This is what you wanted, right?

- Right.
- Are you ready to go?

- Where?
- lnto the light. Can't you still see it?

- Mm-hmm. l see the sun.
- No, not the sun. The light.

The sun is the light.

l thought you could
see the light.

ls there something else
than l can help you with?

You know what love is.
What is love?

What does it feel like?

Dennis, what you did to bring
liz and christine together,

that's what love is.

lt's not about what we say.
lt's about what we do.
