00:00And there's the starting gun, kicking off the 25th annual Chronicle Marathon San Francisco.
00:10Over 6,000 runners in the race today, and it is perfect running weather.
00:15And there is Tonde Mowat, number 534.
00:19What a story he is.
00:20The legendary, proud lion.
00:22He's a two-time Olympic champion, and he's come all the way from his homeland of Nigeria
00:27to run in today's event, which he's referred to as his final lap.
00:32Of course, Tonde's threatened to retire before, but you know, if this does turn out to be his valedictory race,
00:38it'll be quite a day to remember.
00:40We'll, of course, be checking in with his progress all through our continuous coverage of the marathon.
00:47Two cameras?
00:48Yeah, case one break.
00:50Where is he?
00:51Well, he won't be near the front.
00:53I mean, you know, he's 65 years old.
00:5663.
00:57He's my idol.
00:58Did I mention that?
00:59About a million times.
01:01No, seriously.
01:02Tonde Mowat is the greatest runner who ever lived.
01:05I saw him run in Los Angeles in 1973.
01:08He was 400 yards behind.
01:11With less than a mile to go, he had nothing left, and somehow, he just, he just found it.
01:17It was the most amazing finish.
01:20I can't believe you never heard of him.
01:21What?
01:22That man missed a buck.
01:30Don't worry about it, okay?
01:37Come on, just have fun.
01:38He's 63 years old.
01:41He's still running a marathon.
01:43I gotta get into shape.
01:45Yeah, you're in great shape.
01:46Nah, I used to be.
01:48Now, if I can't find the remote control, I just watch whatever's on.
01:52Look at him.
01:55How can he stand it?
01:59Hold on to this.
02:02Excuse me, sir.
02:03You missed a button.
02:05What?
02:05You missed a button.
02:06You'll pick me later.
02:11Look.
02:11Adrian.
02:11Can you get the hell away from me, please?
02:14I'm trying to enjoy this race here.
02:16There's no problem.
02:17Adrian.
02:17If you just.
02:18Adrian is coming.
02:23Adrian, will you hurry up?
02:24Look, he's coming.
02:26No, they're not in the way.
02:28You're in the way.
02:29Very good at buttons.
02:30Get away.
02:31Get away.
02:32Go, go.
02:32There he is.
02:39Okay.
02:40You missed him.
02:42You just missed him.
02:46Now, look.
02:47He's wearing blue shorts.
02:49Look.
02:49There he is.
02:50There he is.
02:51No.
02:51No, that's not him.
02:54Knowing Trevor, he probably stopped to sell someone a sofa bed.
03:00Lisa, what is wrong with me?
03:03I mean, I can't stand the son of a bitch, and I'm trying to catch a glimpse of him.
03:07This is ridiculous.
03:09No, I know.
03:13No, I know.
03:16That's why I told him he has to make up his mind once and for all.
03:20The guy can't have his cake and eat it, too.
03:24Bye.
03:27Hello, Quinn.
03:28Trevor, what are you doing here?
03:33I thought you were running the marathon.
03:36Dude!
03:37No!
03:39No!
03:40No!
04:05No!
04:35I can't believe I missed him.
04:59I can't believe I missed Tonde.
05:01Well, it's your own fault.
05:02You should ignore the stupid sweater.
05:04It was askew.
05:06So what?
05:07So what?
05:07Why can't you just let people be askew?
05:09I mean, what are you, the askew police?
05:11Yes, I'm the askew police.
05:16What's going on?
05:18Is that the captain?
05:19Two out, two kids on, first and third, all right?
05:25My kid throws a fastball.
05:27Wait, captain.
05:28Just talk to the building manager.
05:30He's on his way.
05:31Okay.
05:31All right.
05:32Work the street.
05:32Get statements from everybody.
05:34Let's get to it.
05:35This is not going to go away.
05:36It's supposed to be my day off.
05:39You're telling me that.
05:42Monk, what are you doing here?
05:43You're chasing ambulances now.
05:45We're just driving by.
05:46What do you got?
05:47We got a dead girl.
05:50She lives on the 21st floor.
05:52Either she slipped, or she jumped, or she had some help.
05:59It was murder.
06:01It's a possibility, yeah.
06:02No, that's what happened at Smyrna.
06:05And how can you know that, Monk?
06:07You just got here.
06:09Her toenails.
06:11She didn't finish painting them.
06:13It was obviously interrupted.
06:15Isn't that the style now?
06:17Like you know.
06:20I think you might be right.
06:22But anyway, we'll know soon enough when the medical examiner looks at her.
06:30Go.
06:30Thanks for dropping by.
06:33Yeah, good luck, Chris.
06:34Yeah, it's good to see you.
06:35Yeah.
06:36As long as you're here, you want to make a few bucks?
06:41Sure.
06:42Good.
06:46Contract.
06:47Excellent.
06:50That's what I thought.
06:52Thanks, Paul.
06:54Boys and girls, listen up.
06:56That was the medical examiner.
06:58She was strangled before she went over the edge.
07:01This is now a homicide investigation, which means do not touch anything, don't lean on
07:07anything, and be careful where you walk.
07:10What do you think?
07:12She lived alone?
07:14Yeah, she lived alone, but check this out.
07:19Excuse me.
07:19She has beer in the fridge and cigars in the humidor.
07:30Boyfriend.
07:31Yeah, and according to her neighbor, she had an ex-husband and a boyfriend who nobody ever saw.
07:37Well, if somebody was paying the bills, she was in unemployment.
07:41If somebody was buying her a lot of gifts, she hasn't opened any of them.
07:48Maybe she was planning to return them.
07:51I mean, look at this guy's taste.
07:53What are you talking about?
07:55This stuff is great.
07:56I mean, look at this.
07:56Sharona, evidence.
08:00Oh.
08:01Can you smell that?
08:03No.
08:04What is that?
08:07Chamomile.
08:08It's a nerve.
08:09It grows wild like a weed.
08:11I know what chamomile is.
08:13It's used to make tea.
08:14Yeah.
08:15Check the kitchen for chamomile tea.
08:17Yes, sir.
08:19Captain.
08:21Look at this.
08:25Her speed dial, number three, is blank.
08:28If she had a lover, and she was trying to be discreet, she would not have listed his name.
08:39I've got it, sir.
08:42Wait.
08:55Hello.
08:55Hi.
08:58This is Captain Leland Stottlemyre with the San Francisco Police Department.
09:03Who am I talking to?
09:04Hey, it's me, Trevor McDowell.
09:06We've just opened a new furniture showroom right here in San Mateo, right off Route 101.
09:11Break.
09:13Hey, listen.
09:14If your family's like mine, the furniture in your house takes a real beating.
09:19Okay, keep it clean.
09:20Keep it clean.
09:20Gloves up.
09:21That's why you need furniture that can go the distance.
09:25Isn't that right, honey?
09:26With low prices, that'll knock you out.
09:29Like this couch.
09:31It's regularly $7.99, but with a quick jab from Tyler, that old price is TKO'd.
09:37If you see that lamp in there, it's got...
09:41Don't even think about it.
09:43But it's not supposed to be.
09:45Stop.
09:45Normally, it's $13.99, but with a mighty blow from Luke here, whoa, that old price is down
09:51for the count.
09:52It's yours for only $12.99.
09:55Heavyweight furniture at featherweight prices.
10:00Tables, chairs, sofas, lamps, love seats, you name it.
10:05At McDowell's, if we can't beat the competition, we'll throw in the towel.
10:10Uh, cut!
10:12What?
10:12Who is that?
10:13Get him out of there!
10:14Uh, I'm sorry.
10:16It was a little, uh, was I...
10:17Okay, take two.
10:20Oh, my God.
10:22Trevor McDowell.
10:24Yes, sir.
10:24I'd like to talk to you.
10:27What's going on?
10:29Nothing serious.
10:31I think maybe one of his employees is passing bad checks.
10:35You know what, honey?
10:35I'm sure it's okay.
10:36Why don't you take the kids inside, and I'll see you in a while.
10:39Okay.
10:40Okay.
10:40Come on, guys.
10:41Good work today, guys.
10:45You've got a beautiful family, Mr. McDowell.
10:48You don't have to tell me that.
10:52Can I get you anything?
10:53Nothing for me, thank you.
10:54Have a seat.
10:56Water?
10:57Oh, no, thank you.
10:58It's okay.
11:01So, about Gwen, I heard about it on the news, but they said she was murdered.
11:06Is that true?
11:06That's true.
11:09Horrible.
11:10Do you have any leads?
11:12We're working on it.
11:13She was your girlfriend?
11:15She was your girlfriend.
11:17Yes, sir.
11:18I really screwed up big time.
11:22How long have you been screwing up?
11:25I met her two years ago.
11:26She was an actress in one of my commercials.
11:28She was the girl in the waterbed.
11:33Oh, my God.
11:34I remember that one.
11:35Yeah.
11:36Yeah, I like that commercial.
11:39You're a natural in front of the camera.
11:41Oh, thank you.
11:41Do you drink tea, Mr. McDowell?
11:45Uh, sometimes, yes.
11:48Camomile tea?
11:50No.
11:50The building manager said you'd been paying her rent.
11:55He also said you called him a month ago to say you would not be renewing the lease.
11:59That's correct.
12:00I was trying to break it off.
12:01Yeah.
12:02And I realized I made a mistake.
12:05My family's my wife.
12:08Gwen understood that.
12:09Did she?
12:11I thought she did.
12:13We talked about it.
12:14Do you have an alibi for 7.55 this morning?
12:177.55, I would have been on Hick Street.
12:26Anybody see you there?
12:28Oh, yes.
12:29About a thousand people see I was running in the marathon.
12:34You realize we have several ways to verify that.
12:37Good.
12:38Because the sooner you clear me, the sooner you can catch the bastard who did this.
12:44That's my card with my office number.
12:46That's my home number.
12:47If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to come.
12:51I'll be in touch.
12:52Good luck with the investigation.
12:54Okay, that's all, man.
12:56How'd you do?
12:59Excuse me?
13:00In the marathon, how'd you do?
13:04Three hours, 41 minutes.
13:06Personal best, actually.
13:07I've been training like a demon.
13:09Were you drafting or running open field?
13:13Open field?
13:14You a runner?
13:15Uh, years ago.
13:16High school.
13:18Made all state.
13:21You ran?
13:27What?
13:28I just can't picture you on a track team.
13:30I had a life, you know, before we met.
13:33Oh, no, no, no.
13:34I know you had a life.
13:38I just didn't think it involved wearing Jim Shoreson, showering with other guys.
13:43I didn't shower with other guys.
13:45I had a note from my doctor.
13:47I bet you had lots of notes from your doctor.
13:48As a matter of fact, I did.
13:50I had a whole separate binder.
13:53What are we doing here when the captain already checked this guy out?
13:58He definitely ran the marathon.
14:00I know.
14:00I just, I just want to make sure.
14:02Oh, hello.
14:11Can we help you?
14:13Oh, no, it's a stampede.
14:14Get a wipe ready.
14:15Oh.
14:17I'm Adrian Monk.
14:18I called earlier.
14:20Oh, Mr. Monk.
14:22Please excuse the mess.
14:24After the marathon, we just kind of hibernate for a while, you know.
14:27This is my assistant, Sharona.
14:31Hi.
14:31Oh, I'm this year's chairperson, Angie Morrison.
14:35This is Tilly Graves.
14:37Hi.
14:37Cicely Fraser.
14:39Hi.
14:40And Brendan Connolly over there.
14:42Hi, Brendan Connolly.
14:44Hi.
14:45And this is Carl Jenkins.
14:47He's our chief of security.
14:49Hi, Carl.
14:50Hi.
14:57You got a problem with me?
14:59What?
15:00Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
15:02You don't want to shake a brother's hand.
15:03You just say so.
15:05You don't got to go wiping it off.
15:07Oh, no, you just said to everybody.
15:08Am I blind?
15:09Do I look like I'm blind?
15:11I saw what I saw.
15:17I'm going to go and lock up downstairs.
15:20If I stick around here, I might do something I'll regret.
15:22We're all just people, Mr. Monk.
15:27Of course we are.
15:28I always have to, uh, I'm not.
15:33Oh, no, he's not.
15:34What can we do for you?
15:40I just need some information.
15:43How many people ran in the marathon today?
15:476,111.
15:49People of all colors and creeds.
15:51I'm sure they were.
15:54I wouldn't have it any other way.
15:58Um, how do you keep track of them all?
16:01Oh, that's all computerized.
16:04Runners are all issued one of these,
16:07and, uh, it attaches to the top of their shoe.
16:10There's a teeny tiny little computer chip inside there.
16:13And we've got scanners at the starting line
16:16and another at the finish line,
16:17and they read the computer chip.
16:19It's all very modern.
16:21We've got everybody's time right down to a tenth of a second.
16:26Well, what if someone left the race
16:29and then came back later?
16:33Well, we'd know right away.
16:34We've got checkpoints all along the route.
16:36We had scanners every mile to keep track.
16:41Um, we're interested in a runner named Trevor McDowell.
16:46Oh, McDowell.
16:48Number, uh, 948.
16:51The police were asking about him earlier.
16:53There he is.
16:56Yeah, he ran it in 3 hours, 41 minutes, and 22 seconds.
17:01That's a really respectable time.
17:03Quite respectable.
17:04All of our racers are winners,
17:06be they black, white, or Latino.
17:09You know, it takes many colors to make a rainbow.
17:13Yes, ma'am.
17:15I'm a big rainbow guy.
17:20He loves rainbows.
17:26About Mr. McDowell, did he miss any checkpoints?
17:30Oh, let's have a look.
17:33Uh, nope, he ran the whole course start to finish.
17:39Paced himself beautifully, though.
17:53Mr. Zaleski, how about I call you Arthur?
17:58Well, you can call me whatever the hell you want.
18:00Good.
18:02How long were you and Gwen married?
18:04Four years.
18:06She walked out and you still love her?
18:09Sure.
18:10I had feelings for her.
18:11I bet you did.
18:13Then she picks up with the dinette furniture salesman?
18:18TV guy, that's humiliating.
18:20You were jealous.
18:22You became furious.
18:25I'd feel the same way.
18:30I don't like this, being here.
18:33You're not supposed to like being here, Arthur.
18:35This is an interrogation room.
18:37It's not a sports bar.
18:39I need a wife.
18:40Why?
18:40Do you have a wife?
18:41So why were you harassing your ex-wife?
18:43We've got the phone records already.
18:47You were calling her twice a day.
18:49I don't call my wife twice a day.
18:51I was worried about her.
18:53You call her worried.
18:54The judge called her to stalk.
18:56That was three years ago.
18:58What happened, Arthur?
19:03You went over there to talk, right?
19:06You lost your temper trying to talk to her?
19:12Everybody has a temper.
19:14What is that?
19:15What is that noise?
19:16Excuse me.
19:17Okay, one more time from the top.
19:26So how long were you and Gwen here?
19:28How's it going in there?
19:30It's going great.
19:31Except he wants to know what the little squeaky noise behind the mirror is.
19:35That might have been me.
19:37There's a smudge.
19:38I think it's on your side.
19:41You can get it when you go back in.
19:44I'm sorry.
19:44I'm sorry.
19:47You think he's the guy?
19:50It's possible.
19:52He had a restraining order against him at one time, which apparently he honored.
19:57He says he was at home in bed at the time.
20:00I'd say he's a D plus, a C minus.
20:04What do you got?
20:05Trevor McDowell.
20:07No, he was running the marathon.
20:09It checked out.
20:09I don't know how he did it, but he's the guy.
20:13I'll tell you why.
20:14Because Gwen was killed first, and then she was thrown off the balcony.
20:20That's the key.
20:21Why would the killer draw attention to himself?
20:26There's only one reason.
20:27To establish the exact time of death.
20:30He wanted everyone to know precisely when she died.
20:34Why?
20:35Because he had an alibi.
20:37An airtight alibi.
20:42What do you think?
20:43What do I think?
20:45I think it's not possible because he was wearing a computer chip.
20:49And he passed all the checkpoints.
20:52I know.
20:53You're right.
20:54That's right.
20:56Unless he took the chip off and passed it off to another runner.
20:59That's interesting.
21:06Yeah.
21:08Maybe he dropped it in another guy's pocket so it looked like you finished the race.
21:16That's very interesting.
21:20You are a genius.
21:22Anything else I can help you with?
21:28Give him a wipe.
21:30Just give him one.
21:31Smudge stays.
21:32You go.
21:36So now we're looking for two runners.
21:38That's right.
21:39We're looking for another runner who had the exact same time as Trevor McDowell.
21:44Right, right, right.
21:44Someone who was neck and neck with him for the whole race.
21:47Neck and neck.
21:48Okay.
21:48That shouldn't be too hard.
21:49Okay.
21:49Okay.
21:50Okay.
21:52Hi, Tilly.
21:57No, sorry.
21:59Nobody else had the exact same time.
22:02Look, are we finished here?
22:05Just one more thing.
22:07Was there another runner whose time at all the checkpoints was close to McDowell's, like within
22:13a second or two?
22:15Close?
22:16Mm-hmm.
22:19Ah, well, look at that.
22:22There's a runner here who ran the whole race, just a few paces from Mr. McDowell.
22:28Number 534.
22:31Here's the printout.
22:35Who is it?
22:39Sharona?
22:39Tonde.
22:43Tonde.
22:45Tonde.
22:45Tonde.
22:52You know, I read an article about this hotel.
22:55You know how much a suite costs?
22:56Huh?
22:56$2,000 a night.
22:58$2,000 a night.
23:00You said Tonde was a simple, quiet man, like a poet.
23:03So?
23:05So how many poets could afford to stay here?
23:08What are you saying?
23:10I'm saying that he could have made some extra money helping a rich furniture salesman kill
23:16his mistress.
23:18Shh.
23:18That is not possible, okay?
23:21It is off the table.
23:23End of discussion.
23:26Don't touch anything.
23:29You're telling me not to touch anything?
23:32That's Tonde's fruit.
23:34Sorry to keep you waiting.
23:37Tend to be a worker.
23:38Adrian Monk.
23:41Ah, Adrian.
23:43How nice to meet you.
23:46Sir, I have admired you ever since I was a very strong child.
23:50Young child.
23:51Young child.
23:52This is Sharona.
23:54My...
23:56My...
23:58Something.
24:01I'm his assistant.
24:04It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Mawaka.
24:07You just call me Dandy.
24:10Please, come on.
24:11Let's sit.
24:13Make yourselves comfortable.
24:16Sir, I saw you run in Los Angeles in 1973.
24:22The big comeback.
24:24Yeah.
24:24I still don't know how I did it.
24:27Well, it changed my life.
24:29I saw you.
24:33You...
24:33You were...
24:35You...
24:36You are a...
24:38Um...
24:40Adrian was a runner, too.
24:43Ah, is that so?
24:45What were you running?
24:46I ran what you ran.
24:49Just not as fast.
24:51You still ran?
24:52No.
24:53No.
24:53I quit.
24:54Why?
24:56Why?
24:58There...
24:59There was an incident in high school during a race.
25:05So they, uh, broke your spirits.
25:09You know, spirits are very fragile.
25:14Easy to break.
25:17But not impossible to repair.
25:21I like that.
25:26You know, uh, the hotel manager tells me that you were with the police.
25:31I'm helping the police.
25:34A young woman has been killed.
25:37Oh.
25:38Have some tea.
25:41Oh, thank you.
25:43Yeah.
25:43Tunde, we're interested in, uh, another runner, um, uh, Trevor McDowell.
25:52Do you know him?
25:53Nope.
25:54No.
25:55Okay.
25:56All right.
25:57Wait a second.
25:58Okay.
25:58Hold on.
25:59Okay.
26:00Just try it.
26:00Try that one.
26:02No, I...
26:03I tried this one already.
26:04It doesn't...
26:05I tried it.
26:06It doesn't...
26:06Well, you're...
26:07You're holding it the wrong way.
26:08You're not even...
26:09Give it to me.
26:10No, let me do it.
26:11You're not...
26:11I can do it.
26:12What are you talking about?
26:13It's facing the wrong way.
26:14Oh.
26:15There...
26:15There it is.
26:17Hey, thank you.
26:18That old man is me?
26:20That's you.
26:21And there's McDowell right behind you.
26:24According to the computer, he said it was behind you or just in front of you for the whole race.
26:29Okay.
26:29And later, later in the race, here, you see McDowell's disappeared.
26:36He doesn't show up again until the very end.
26:40Do you remember if he was near you the entire time?
26:45I'm sorry.
26:46When I'm running, I'm not thinking about other runners.
26:50I'm testing myself.
26:52Um, I...
26:53I...
26:54I really love this place.
26:57Um, does the marathon committee pay for all of this?
27:01You asked me if I can afford a suite like that.
27:08No.
27:09Well, a month ago, I signed a big contract with a big shoe company.
27:20Let me guess.
27:21Says 10.
27:22Did you hear what he said to me?
27:33From one runner to another.
27:36You remember Tonde gave me some tea?
27:38Yeah.
27:39Well, I saved the tea bag.
27:43What is it?
27:45Chamomile.
27:46Let it go.
28:00It's a coincidence.
28:02You think it's just a coincidence that your hero Tonde drinks chamomile tea?
28:07Yes, I do.
28:08I love these sneakers.
28:10Oh, I see.
28:13I see.
28:15Whenever I think of something, it's just a coincidence.
28:17Whenever you think of something, it's a work of genius.
28:20Exactly.
28:21It was McDowell.
28:22He did it.
28:24How?
28:25Don't know yet.
28:29Okay.
28:29Well, according to this video, Tonde came through here at 47 minutes, 15 seconds, and McDowell
28:41was a few seconds behind him.
28:45Amazing.
28:47Am I touching the ground?
28:49Because I don't feel the ground.
28:54Did I mention these were a gift from my friend Tonde?
28:56What are you doing?
28:59I'm running circles around you.
29:01That's how fast I am.
29:04Oh, you think you're faster than me, huh?
29:12Okay, from here to that pole and back.
29:17Fine.
29:19This should be easy for you.
29:21You're good at touching poles.
29:22Oh, see, now I'm not going to be able to run because I'm laughing so hard.
29:27Okay.
29:31Ready, good set, go!
29:33Hold it, hold it, wait.
29:34This line's a little crooked.
29:38It's straightened up.
29:40Okay, good.
29:44On your mark?
29:44Hold it, hold it.
29:46Wait.
29:52It doesn't have to be perfect.
29:54It doesn't have to be perfect.
30:02Oh, forget it.
30:05Forget it.
30:06Forget it.
30:09It's fine.
30:10It's...
30:11It's trying to be insane.
30:14That's it, I got it.
30:15It's perfect now.
30:17Well, wait.
30:18Okay, after this point, McDowell is no longer visible on the tape.
30:32This is it.
30:34It's a blind spot right here.
30:36You see how the path curves?
30:39No room for spectators.
30:41If he timed it right,
30:44he'd be completely alone.
30:48He could duck behind those bushes.
30:52Nobody'd miss him.
30:53When were they here?
31:00Um, one hour and five minutes into the race.
31:09Start the watch.
31:11We're gonna time this out.
31:12Stop the watch.
31:28What is it?
31:32Smell it.
31:33No.
31:35It's chamomile.
31:36We'll have the lab check for traces at the crime scene.
31:39What was he doing here?
31:40Changing his clothes.
31:43Start the stopwatch.
31:48What are you doing?
31:49Changing my clothes.
31:52Would you mind?
31:54Please.
32:05Then he had to get across town.
32:07Oh, there's a road over there.
32:12He couldn't have parked here.
32:17This street was blocked off on Sunday, remember?
32:20He couldn't have parked anywhere.
32:23Maybe he didn't drive.
32:25Then how did he get across town?
32:26How are we doing?
32:4017 minutes, 20 seconds.
32:42Excuse me.
32:43Why don't you sit down?
32:48Well, at least hold the pole.
32:52How do you explain this?
32:54I touch everything you're afraid to touch, and I never get sick.
32:57I can't explain it.
32:58I can't explain it.
33:00It's inexplicable.
33:02No.
33:02You're inexplicable.
33:06So you're going to tell me?
33:08What?
33:09Why you quit running.
33:10You said there was an incident.
33:12Ah, ancient history.
33:13Come on.
33:16You know you're going to tell me.
33:19Okay, fine.
33:22May 2nd, 1974.
33:26Our high school track team, we had a great year.
33:30We made it to the all-state conference.
33:32It was the biggest day of my life.
33:36It was all tied up.
33:37It came down to the last event, the 1,500 meter.
33:42Everyone was depending on me.
33:44But just before the gun, I looked down.
33:50My laces were, you know, uneven.
33:57It was the first time that I had a problem like that in public.
34:02Never ran again.
34:10That must have been terrible.
34:12I got over it.
34:14And now you did it.
34:15That's true.
34:16I didn't.
34:19Ooh, this is our stop.
34:24Now we run to the top of the hill.
34:27That hill?
34:28Yeah.
34:29I thought you made all-state.
34:32Okay, it's been 24 minutes and 10 seconds.
34:36Are you okay?
34:38Yeah, yeah.
34:39It was some hill.
34:40Didn't look that steep from the bottom.
34:42You want to stop?
34:44No, no, no.
34:46See, I don't think McDowell took an elevator.
34:50He wouldn't want to be seen.
34:52Right?
34:52Right?
34:52Just one more flight.
34:58Okay.
34:59One more flight.
35:01No problem.
35:03Why would someone choose to live on the 21st floor?
35:07Are you all right?
35:16I'm good.
35:19Your eyes are crossed.
35:22They're okay now.
35:23Let's go.
35:23You don't think he knocked?
35:28No.
35:29He had his own key to let himself in.
35:32Okay.
35:33Okay, you're Gwen.
35:35The TV was on, so she's probably sitting here doing her nails.
35:39I'm the killer.
35:40Let myself in.
35:42Let myself in.
35:44He sat on the couch?
35:50I can do it from here.
35:53Okay.
35:55Okay.
35:57She hears him.
35:59She turns around.
36:01You're Gwen.
36:01She turns around.
36:02She turns.
36:04Okay.
36:04Trevor, thought you were running the marathon.
36:08They struggle.
36:09Struggle, struggle.
36:10He strangles her.
36:12Drags her off to the balcony.
36:14Go.
36:15Come on.
36:15He's in a hurry.
36:15Go.
36:16Okay.
36:17Over she goes.
36:19What's the time?
36:2239 minutes.
36:2339 minutes.
36:24Okay, let's go.
36:25Okay, let's go.
36:29What are you doing?
36:32I think he took it now.
36:35Yeah, you wish.
36:39Oh, my God.
36:41I love this chair.
36:42All table left.
36:44It vibrates.
36:45Sharona, we are not here to shop.
36:47This is our primary suspect.
36:50Well, maybe we can get a primary suspect discount.
36:53Well, well, well.
36:54If it isn't Mr. Monk and Sharona, am I right?
36:59Yes.
36:59What can I do for you?
37:00Do you have a minute, sir?
37:02I have all the time in the world.
37:03As a matter of fact, there's a sale on all the convertible sofas in stock if you're interested.
37:07No, thanks.
37:08I'll make you a great deal.
37:09Free home delivery.
37:10We're not here to shop.
37:12Although, if it turns out you're innocent, I'd like to talk to you about that recliner.
37:18Sharona.
37:19Um, do you know Tandemawaka?
37:23I know of him.
37:24I've never met him.
37:26I believe he was running behind me for most of the race.
37:29We checked the records.
37:31You never turned in your computer chip.
37:33I forgot.
37:35And then later, I misplaced it.
37:38You're crooked.
37:40I beg your pardon?
37:48Show him the picture.
37:51Is that you at the finish line?
37:55Yes.
37:57You ran 26 miles and you're not sweating?
38:01I don't sweat that much.
38:02You know, some runners don't sweat at all.
38:04Is that everything?
38:05But here's what's been bothering me.
38:08This is you around mile five.
38:12Look at your shirt.
38:14It's completely drenched.
38:16Yeah.
38:17Here's what happened.
38:20You had a problem.
38:22Her name was Gwen Zaleski.
38:24Maybe she didn't want to break it off.
38:30Maybe she threatened to tell your wife everything.
38:36And ruin your perfect little world.
38:41So you disposed of her.
38:48You tossed her off the balcony like a bag of garbage.
38:51Mr. Monk, I love my family.
38:55They're my life.
38:56And do you think I'm going to let somebody like you or anybody else take that away from me?
39:04So true or false, Mr. Monk?
39:07According to the computer, I ran that entire race from start to finish.
39:14True or false?
39:15True.
39:25Trevor, it's your wife.
39:27Line two.
39:30It's your wife, Trevor.
39:35Line two.
39:35Line two.
39:35Line two.
39:35Line two.
39:52Zaleski alibi checks out.
39:54He was in bed making a phone call at the exact time of death.
39:57Yeah, it's not the ex-husband.
40:01No, sir.
40:01So, uh, where does that leave us?
40:06It leaves us with McDowell.
40:08The boyfriend?
40:09Yep.
40:10He checked out.
40:11He ran the whole race.
40:14Okay, let's say that McDowell did pass the chip off to another runner.
40:20I thought it was your idea, sir.
40:21You're damn right it was.
40:25You're thinking Tanya.
40:27No, no.
40:27Their times don't match up exactly.
40:30On who?
40:31All right.
40:33Here's my idea.
40:36Let's say there were six runners.
40:38Six?
40:39Yeah.
40:40Tandy, McDowell, and these four guys, Harvester, Blanchard, Crowe, and Davidson.
40:46They passed the chip back and forth among them.
40:48They were all running in the vicinity and...
40:51Like a conspiracy.
40:53No.
40:54I've worked the time out on this graph, passing it back and forth.
41:00The time works out almost exactly.
41:03What do you think?
41:05Yeah, this is worth looking into, sir.
41:07It's almost...
41:08No, it's not.
41:11It's insane.
41:12There is absolutely no connection between those six men.
41:15Yeah, you're right.
41:20There's...
41:21I was just playing devil's advocate with that.
41:24Yeah.
41:24No, he's a runner who wants to win the one who's proven up time.
41:28He's supposed to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
41:30What?
41:31There's something you don't see every day.
41:33A runner in this race with four legs.
41:35That might be considered...
41:36Hang on a sec.
41:37Stop the tape.
41:38All right.
41:38What's that right there?
41:40Go back a little.
41:45Is that a dog?
41:47Yeah, it's a poodle.
41:48Maybe he put the chip in the dog collar.
41:55That's a little poodle.
41:58Can a little poodle run 26 miles?
42:02Maybe he drugged it.
42:04I mean, it's on drugs.
42:05Yeah.
42:06Yeah.
42:08I didn't call it that.
42:11And of course, our cameras will be there in the finish line.
42:13And our microphones as well.
42:15We'll have interviews with the winners, the lead runners.
42:18And also coverage of the presentation of the trophy.
42:21And here comes the group that everybody's waiting for as they roll through the Castro area.
42:26Once again, a huge applause for the angels, Tante Mawaka.
42:29Still not be steady and acknowledging the fans.
42:32Love it is.
42:33Why not?
42:34Let's get a shot now from our motorcycle cam, just ahead of Tante's group.
42:41And once again, of course, Tante has told us he's planning to call it a career after this.
42:45But he's said that before.
42:47And besides, there are various rumors.
43:00Are you all right?
43:05I'm fine.
43:06What happened?
43:07You said it was a matter of life or death.
43:09I know how he did it.
43:10What are you talking about?
43:13Who?
43:14McDowell.
43:15I know how he killed her.
43:17I figured it out.
43:19You couldn't tell me over the phone?
43:21I wanted to see your face light up when I told you.
43:27Okay, I'll take a rain check on that lighting up thing.
43:29Come on.
43:30Let's go.
43:30And in other news, a private memorial service was held this morning for Gwen Zaleski, the young actress who was slain this Sunday.
43:42A department spokesman said they have a number of leads and expect to make an arrest.
43:50Cover the office for me.
43:51I'll be right back.
43:54Take the next exit.
43:55Where are we going?
43:56You'll see.
43:57Sharona, it was right in front of us.
44:00We were looking at it all wrong.
44:02We thought that Trevor McDowell gave his computer chip to another runner.
44:07Like Tonde.
44:07Like Tonde.
44:08But no other runner had the exact same time, right?
44:12Right.
44:13I was just watching the tape again, and I realized it wasn't another runner.
44:17There was somebody else who ran that whole race from start to finish.
44:22Oh.
44:23The TV camera bike.
44:27McDowell never even attached the chip to his shoe.
44:30He stuck it somewhere on the vehicle.
44:32Maybe he taped it or used one of those magnetic high-to-key deals.
44:38McDowell started the race like everybody else.
44:42He followed Tonde and a bike for a few miles.
44:45Then, when he got to the curve in the road, Trevor McDowell quit the race, but his computer chip continued on.
44:53It didn't miss a single checkpoint.
44:56He had a change of clothes hidden in the bushes.
44:59Near the batch of chamomile.
45:01Exactly.
45:02Then, after the murder, he re-entered the race just before the end.
45:07The finish line was mass confusion.
45:13It was easy to rejoin the race.
45:16And that was it.
45:17He had an airtight alibi.
45:19It was the perfect crime.
45:21But what happened to the chip?
45:22I think it's still on the bike.
45:24There was no reason for him to retrieve it.
45:27Nobody knew it was there.
45:28And even if they did find it, they wouldn't know what it was.
45:32Here.
45:32Here we are.
45:39Looks like all the vehicles are parked back here.
45:42Uh-huh.
45:56Oh, my God.
45:58There's McDowell.
45:59We got to get that chip before he does.
46:03What's wrong?
46:04It's all rusty.
46:06Okay, okay, it's okay.
46:06I'll do it.
46:07Give me a boost.
46:08What?
46:09Just put your hands like this.
46:10You're going to step in my hand?
46:12That's how you give somebody a boost.
46:14Come on.
46:14I don't think so.
46:15Adrian, that chip is the only thing that connects him to the murder.
46:19If he finds it, he'll destroy it, and then we can't nail him.
46:22Give me a boost.
46:23Let's just think.
46:24Maybe we could build a little ladder.
46:27Out of what?
46:28You know, branches and rocks.
46:34He found it.
46:35He found the chip.
46:36Will you give me the boost?
46:38Hurry up.
46:38Hurry up.
46:39All right.
46:39Come on.
46:40Not that foot.
46:41Oh, why?
46:41No, no, no.
46:42The other foot.
46:42You stepped in something with that foot.
46:44There.
46:45Go.
46:46Go.
46:49You got it?
46:50Wait.
46:51Wait.
46:52Okay.
46:53Okay.
46:53I.
46:55Wait, wait, wait.
46:57What?
46:58Oh, my God.
46:59He saw us.
46:59McDowell!
47:03Adrian, run.
47:05What?
47:05Adrian, run after him.
47:07You're faster.
47:07You can do it.
47:08Go, Adrian!
47:12He's heading for the beach.
47:14McDowell!
47:59Did you see that?
48:19Did you see that?
48:21He had about 40 yards on me.
48:24Look behind you.
48:26What?
48:27Look behind you.
48:34There goes your evidence, monk.
48:38Now, officer, just wait a minute.
49:00Do you know who I am?
49:02Yes, sir.
49:03You sold me a dinette set last year.
49:05Oh.
49:06Watch your head.
49:10Trav, you might want to make a note case it ever comes up again.
49:15These new plastic hide-a-keys, turns out they don't sink.
49:19Yeah.
49:20Yeah.
49:21They're close.
49:32Donde?
49:33Hey.
49:35You shouldn't have done this.
49:37I mean, I couldn't take my tattoo to the airport.
49:40It's no problem.
49:41We wanted to say goodbye.
49:43Uh-huh.
49:44Diga na amabote.
49:47Is that right?
49:47Oh, close.
49:49Adrian, did you solve your case?
49:52Ah, I knew you would.
49:54I remember thinking, this man is stronger than he thinks he is.
50:00You know, he can run the race.
50:03Here, I've got something for you.
50:04Oh, no.
50:05Donde, I can't accept anything else.
50:08After we met, I had them send you to me.
50:11Adrian, it's the Hetman you wore in Los Angeles, 1973.
50:19Adrian, I can tell you're searching for something.
50:23Life is a long and difficult race.
50:28You must hang on.
50:30Hold on to it.
50:32A monster.
50:35A monster.
50:37That means courage.
50:39Thank you, my friend.
50:41Thank you for this.
50:44This means the world to me.
50:47I haven't won it since a big race.
50:50Or Washington.
50:58Baggy, baggy, baggy, baggy.
51:02Just give it to me.
51:03But be careful with it.
51:05Don't wrinkle it, all right?
51:06Don't even look at it.
51:07You can glance at it, but don't stare.
51:11It's just a sweaty piece of carbon.
51:14Hey, what are you?
51:16Don't, don't, are you crushing it now?
51:18Just give it back to me, here.
51:20Just go in the car.
51:22Go in the car.
51:24Here.
51:25Think it could be dry-cleaned?
51:31Courage, Ian.
51:32All right.
