Ep 5. The Least Dangereous Game

Simon & Simon season 1 episode 5, titled "The Least Dangerous Game," follows the series' two main characters, Rick and AJ Simon, as they investigate a wealthy businessman's mysterious behavior.

The episode starts with Rick and AJ Simon receiving a call from a young woman who claims that her father, a millionaire named George Cass, has been acting very strange lately. She tells the Simons that her father has always been a bit eccentric, but recently he has been making unusual purchases and acting paranoid. The young woman hires the Simons to find out what her father is up to, as she fears that he may be in danger.

When Rick and AJ arrive at Cass's mansion, they are met by the man's butler, who is hesitant to let them in. However, the Simons manage to convince him to allow them into the mansion. They meet Cass, who is a very wealthy and powerful man. He tells the Simons that he has been acting strangely because he is afraid that someone is trying to kill him.

Cass has a large estate, and he invites the Simons to stay on the property while they investigate. Rick and AJ decide to split up and investigate different aspects of Cass's life. Rick decides to go through Cass's financial records, while AJ investigates Cass's hunting lodge, which is located in a remote part of the estate.

While at the lodge, AJ meets a group of hunters who are there for a weekend hunting trip. AJ notices that one of the hunters, a man named Fred, seems very interested in the Simon's investigation. AJ becomes suspicious of Fred and decides to follow him.

Meanwhile, Rick discovers that Cass has been making some very unusual purchases, including a lot of weapons and ammunition. Rick becomes increasingly concerned for Cass's safety and decides to confront the man. Cass reveals to Rick that he is convinced that someone is trying to kill him and that he has been preparing for an attack.

Back at the hunting lodge, AJ follows Fred to a nearby cabin. When she investigates the cabin, she finds it empty but discovers a map of the Cass estate. AJ quickly realizes that Fred is not a hunter and that he is involved in some sort of criminal activity. She manages to escape the cabin undetected.

As Rick and AJ share their findings, they realize that Cass's fears may not be unfounded. They believe that someone is planning to attack him and that the hunters may be involved. The Simons decide to investigate the hunters further and discover that one of the hunters has a criminal history.

As the Simons close in on the truth, they find themselves in a dangerous situation. They must use all of their skills to solve the case and protect Cass from harm.
