00:00I don't mind. It's good to be back.
00:03You don't owe them anything.
00:05You just gave them a half a million dollars last year.
00:07That's just right.
00:08Jack, I won't be late. I'll try not to wake you.
00:11You can wake me.
00:16Good night, Maria.
00:22Good night, Carolyn.
00:23Have a blessed evening, sir.
00:25Mrs. Danvers?
00:27Good evening, sir. We all set?
00:30Yeah, I think I'll drive myself tonight.
00:33You want the Volvo?
00:34No, I think I'll take the Ford.
00:36I'll bring it around.

01:21Fire to the bone.
01:22Oh, I hate you at first.
01:40Tell me what you thought.
01:42I liked it.
01:43I liked it, too.
01:44I really like that actress woman.
01:46What's your name again?
01:47Gene, something like that.
01:49Okay, where's my car?
01:54I think it's over there.
01:55Give me your wallet!
01:57Now!
01:58Okay.
02:00Everything's cool.
02:01Don't be a hero!
02:07Hey, what are you...
02:19I don't know what you thought.
02:49I don't know what you thought.
03:19I don't know what you thought.
03:37Oh, my God.
04:07Oh, my God.
04:37Do you want to be a single parent?
04:38Um, no.
04:40My paycheck bounced, Adrian.
04:44The lamp.
04:45What are you going to do about it?
04:48I guess I'll just have to sweep it up.
04:50No, I am talking about the money.
04:53I thought Leo Otterman paid us.
04:55He gave me an I.O.U.
04:56He said he was a little short.
04:58No, no, no, no, no.
04:58Leo Otterman is not a little short.
05:02We just recovered one of his Picasso paintings that is worth over $2 million.
05:07He said he wasn't liquid or whatever.
05:10He had some cash flow thing.
05:14Adrian, this is a business with clients and expenses.
05:20I know money doesn't matter on planet Monk, but I have a kid that expects three meals a day and sometimes gets sick.
05:28If you missed another paycheck, I'm quitting.
05:34This is very important.
05:37So I'm going to say it again.
05:39If you miss one more paycheck, I'm quitting.
05:44Would you hold that?
05:49Hello?
05:50Better be a job.
05:57Now don't give in, okay?
06:00A 10% rate doesn't ask you for too much.
06:04You're right.
06:05You're right.
06:0510%.
06:06You can't argue with that.
06:08And don't solve anything until they agree.
06:11As soon as you tell them you did it, we lose our leverage.
06:14You're right.
06:15You're right.
06:16Captain.
06:17See, the circus is in town.
06:19Oh, yeah.
06:20It's going to get a lot worse.
06:22Captain, Adrian wants to talk to you about her fee.
06:25Is that the shooter?
06:27Yeah, Archie Modine.
06:28He's an ex-cop.
06:29He was second lieutenant in Palo Alto.
06:32I already checked him out.
06:33He was a straight-up good cop.
06:35Now he's head of security at CK Pharmaceuticals.
06:38Captain, about her fee, we want to talk to you.
06:43Please walk me through it.
06:46All right, it's pretty routine until we get to the punchline.
06:50Modine and his date are walking to their car over here.
06:55The perp is over here.
06:59The perp pops out with a knife.
07:01Modine pulls out his piece.
07:0338 caliber.
07:04I already called.
07:06He's licensed.
07:08Bang, bang, bang.
07:09Free in the check.
07:10So I just have one question.
07:13What am I doing here?
07:14Here comes the punchline.
07:17Our perp is Sidney Teal.
07:22The computer guy?
07:25Yeah.
07:26Now.
07:27Take a look.
07:29That's what five billion dollars looks like.
07:40Get out of town.
07:43What in God's name is he doing?
07:47I think maybe that this is how he got his kicks.
07:51I mean, that kind of money can make a person crazy.
07:55Yeah, I wouldn't know.
07:57Yeah, right.
08:00Anyway, that's my theory.
08:02If you've got a better one, I'd dearly like to hear it.
08:04Oh.
08:05No.
08:06No.
08:07Captain, we can't start working until we talk about our fee.
08:12Sharona, could you give me a second here?
08:14When are you going to answer?
08:17You know, this is some shit.
08:19Yeah, it's crazy.
08:20It gets crazier.
08:21Check this out.
08:26This guy's wearing knee pads.
08:27Knee pads?
08:28Yeah, and he's got elbow pads.
08:30Is he planning on going rollerblading now?
08:34So you're coming out of the theater.
08:35I'm here right up there.
08:36Sir, sir, excuse me.
08:37Just step back.
08:39So you're coming out of the theater and heading towards your car?
08:41Actually, I had my keys out, which now I can't find.
08:46Excuse me?
08:48Sir?
08:49Are these yours?
08:50Yeah.
08:51It's great.
08:52Thanks.
08:53I appreciate it.
08:54Hey, Mr. Odeen, what happened next?
08:57Well, he came at me with a knife and he said something.
09:00He said, don't be a hero.
09:02Don't be a hero?
09:04Yeah.
09:04Anyway, I pulled my piece and I got three rounds off.
09:08Because he didn't realize he was messing with the second lieutenant.
09:10I just lived right up here.
09:12I saw the whole thing.
09:13That's exactly what happened.
09:15Hey, lieutenant.
09:17Is that really Sidney Teal?
09:19I'm afraid so.
09:21Jeez.
09:22Five hundred dollars a day, plus expenses.
09:26Well, I think it's more than fair.
09:27He's never had a race.
09:29I can't authorize an increase like this, Your Honor.
09:32You're going to have to take this downtown.
09:33Talk to Shelly Burger, your pal.
09:35Yeah, yeah.
09:37That's right.
09:37We'll deal with it later.
09:40Can I say something?
09:42I'd like to file a complaint against one of your cops.
09:46Excuse me?
09:47There was a cop standing right over there who saw the entire thing.
09:51After Archie shot the guy, the cop just turned and ran away.
09:55Did you get a badge number?
09:57I'm afraid I didn't.
09:59Captain.
09:59Captain, is the captain of a policy for a police officer just to plead like something?
10:04I have no comment because it's ridiculous, all right?
10:07There is not an officer on this force that would run away from the scene of a crime.
10:12It is inconceivable.
10:14I know, but I saw.
10:15He ran away.
10:17I saw it, too.
10:18He ran away.
10:19Captain, why would an officer flee the scene?
10:22Are you covering something else?
10:23What's going on?
10:24Captain, what's going on?
10:26Can you tell us?
10:27Speed limit's 35.
10:29I am going 35.
10:3037, 38 now.
10:32Why couldn't you just hold out for the race?
10:35I can't believe you folded like a cheap suit.
10:38Tent.
10:39For the record, I folded like a cheap tent.
10:41Did you call Leo Waterman?
10:43I haven't been able to reach him.
10:44Yield.
10:44The sign says yield.
10:46Okay, there's nobody there.
10:48I mean, you're the best detective in the free world and you can't find one deadbeat client?
10:53What's that noise?
10:55He's the alternator.
10:57Why don't you have it fixed?
10:58Oh.
11:02Okay.
11:03Here's plan B.
11:05We are going to solve this case as fast as we can, okay?
11:09A billionaire with too much time in his hands went crazy.
11:12I don't know.
11:13What about the knee pads?
11:15No, no, no, no, no, no.
11:16Forget the knee pads.
11:17A billionaire went crazy and that's it.
11:20We're going to take some credit for it this time, get a little publicity, and then I'm
11:24going to call Sheldon Burger in the mayor's office and demand a 10% increase.
11:28Speaking of money, whoa.
11:38We are in the wrong business.
11:40Not just us.
11:41Everybody in the world except this guy is in their own business.
11:47We're building a guest house in the backyard.
11:50I was supposed to meet with an architect today.
11:53Do you know what I did instead?
11:55I made funeral arrangements.
12:00I know.
12:01It's a terrible time, Mrs. Teal.
12:04We just have a couple of questions.
12:09Yeah.
12:11The police think that Sidney was having a midlife crisis.
12:16That's true.
12:17It started about a year and a half ago.
12:20Sidney just changed.
12:22He started trying new things, crazy things, renting motorcycles and bungee jumping, skydiving.
12:34He said he loved the rush of it.
12:37He loved the rush?
12:38Well, I used to say, I married Batman.
12:44I never imagined in a million years that he'd do anything like this.
12:48Robbing someone with a knife.
12:51I don't know what he was thinking.
12:54Adrian.
12:55Adrian.
12:56My sister has the same painting on her shower curtain.
12:59And did he go out often?
13:09At night alone?
13:10The police asked me that same question.
13:13Um, recently he started going out late.
13:18Once or twice a week.
13:19He always had a good excuse.
13:22I feel like an idiot, really.
13:24Why do you think he was wearing knee pads last night?
13:29I have no idea.
13:32Oh, I'm sorry.
13:34I must look terrible.
13:35Oh, no.
13:36No, no.
13:37You look fine.
13:41I just have one more question.
13:43When did your husband start wearing eyeglasses?
13:46About three years ago, I guess.
13:49Why?
13:50No reason.
13:54Why'd you ask him at his glasses?
13:58So I could tell which photographs were the most recent.
14:01There were about 200 pictures in that room.
14:04They documented everything.
14:06And?
14:07No bungee jumping.
14:08No skydiving.
14:10The most exciting thing Sidney Teal's done in the last two years is go to Disneyland.
14:14Not exactly Batman.
14:17This guy?
14:18He was...
14:19What's the opposite of Batman?
14:21You are.
14:22Damn it, I hate this car.
14:34Damn it, damn it, damn it!
14:36Why don't you try saying damn it a few more times?
14:39That might help.
14:42How long have you worked for Mr. Teal?
14:45Seven years.
14:46Who am I talking to?
14:48Oh, I'm not a cop.
14:49I knew that.
14:50Cops take care of their car.
14:52He's a private consultant.
14:54The police call him in whenever they're stumped.
14:57Yeah?
14:58Well, join the club.
14:59I'm stumped, too.
15:01Could you hold that?
15:03Excuse me?
15:04Could you hold that for a sec?
15:05Okay.
15:05Okay.
15:05So, do you believe what they're saying?
15:12That Mr. Teal had a dark side, a secret life?
15:17Mr. Teal didn't have a life.
15:20Except for his computers.
15:22The Boy Scouts used to laugh at him.
15:24You know, he didn't drink.
15:25He didn't smoke.
15:26He wouldn't even let me start the car until we both buckled up.
15:29Did he have much of a temper?
15:33No.
15:34No.
15:35Mr. Teal, he was a pussycat.
15:37Here's an example.
15:39Last year, there was a break-in down the street.
15:43And Mr. Teal bought a gun for protection.
15:46Wait a minute.
15:47He owned a gun?
15:48He owned it.
15:49But he never used it.
15:51I drove him to the practice range.
15:53He couldn't even pull the trigger.
15:54He just froze up.
15:55So, how do you explain last night?
16:01Must have been hypnotized.
16:03The most I can figure out.
16:04That can make sense.
16:05No, you can't hypnotize someone to do something they wouldn't ordinarily do.
16:09What about Mrs. Teal?
16:11Would you say she was a pussycat?
16:13No, she's more like a tiger.
16:16But I never worked for her.
16:17I worked for him.
16:17She made that clear.
16:19Look, truth is, I'll be out of a job soon.
16:23So, if you're looking for a driver, let me know.
16:28Hey, see you good, boss?
16:29Well, my last paycheck bounced.
16:32I can't take a vacation because he can't live without me.
16:36And two nights ago, he called me at 4 a.m. because he saw a cockroach.
16:42It was pretty big.
16:43Yeah.
16:46Try it now.
16:46Ah, that should be all right for a while.
16:57What do we owe you?
17:00You want to thank me?
17:02Find out what happened to my boss.
17:04You know, it's funny.
17:07Mr. Teal had it all.
17:09More money than God.
17:12A beautiful wife.
17:14But he was the loneliest man in the world.
17:18I was the chauffeur, and I felt sorry for him.
17:22You felt sorry for your boss?
17:24I can only imagine what that would feel like.
17:26Get in the car.
17:29I'm going to do what I can.
17:32Captain, you just missed the deputy commissioner.
17:49Guess what he wanted to talk about?
17:51Murder rates spiking?
17:53The Sidney Teal investigation?
17:55No.
17:55All he wanted to know was what we're doing about the runaway cop.
17:59Freddy Cop.
18:00Excuse me?
18:03That's what they're calling him.
18:06We, uh, sort of pieced together the route he took.
18:10I don't know.
18:12Okay.
18:14After the shooting, three people saw him running west towards the park here,
18:20and on 19th here, he flagged down a taxi.
18:25He took a taxi?
18:26Yeah, it gets worse.
18:27He, uh, threw up in the back seat.
18:30Yeah, but we did get his blood type from the vomit.
18:33The taxi then, uh, dropped him off at a bar upon Geary Street.
18:39There, where he sat in a booth at the back, apparently drinking bourbon and crying.
18:44He was crying?
18:46Oh, dear Lord.
18:47About midnight, an older woman in a brown station wagon was seen picking him up.
18:53Possibly his mother.
18:57He called his mom?
18:59Yeah.
18:59Well, that son of a bitch better hope I don't find him first.
19:05Why don't you put those, um, over there?
19:18He certainly had a lot of friends.
19:21It's been overwhelming.
19:22These are from Bill Gates.
19:26Those are from the governor.
19:28And look at all these letters.
19:32Excuse me.
19:34What are you doing?
19:36This one was sticking up.
19:38You'll thank me later.
19:39How long have you worked for Mr. Teal?
19:44I was with him from the beginning.
19:47The very beginning.
19:48When he was working out of his garage.
19:52He was probably happier there.
19:55We only had two phone lines.
19:57We had to fill all the orders ourselves.
20:00That's his autobiography.
20:05You can have one.
20:08Sidney loves signing them for people.
20:12Now what are you doing?
20:14I made that one too short.
20:16So, now I have to cut the others.
20:19Make them all even.
20:20I'm sure you understand.
20:21When was the last time you talked to Mr. Teal?
20:24That evening.
20:25Um, he called on his way home to ask about Tony Bennett.
20:30Not the singer, Tony Bennett?
20:32Mira's a big fan.
20:34Sidney was taking her to Vegas to see his show.
20:37He was arranging for Tony Bennett to meet them at the airport.
20:40Wow, Tony Bennett.
20:42He was going to surprise her.
20:44He loved doing that.
20:46Mrs. Butterworth, do you have any idea
20:50what Sidney Teal was doing in that parking lot?
20:53No.
20:54I still can't believe it happened.
20:56I'm still in denial.
20:58Mugging somebody for what?
21:00Maybe $40?
21:02Well, maybe he went crazy.
21:05Do you think that's possible, Mr. Monk?
21:07For a man to be normal one day
21:09and then suddenly go crazy?
21:11Yes.
21:11This is the fifth store, Adrian.
21:25I have a good feeling about this place.
21:32What about this one?
21:34Uh, the other one was silver and it swiveled.
21:39You don't have to buy the exact same lamp.
21:41What do you mean?
21:42You could buy a different lamp.
21:44Different lamp?
21:45Yeah, Adrian, what about this one?
21:47This is great.
21:48It was not silver.
21:49The other one was silver.
21:51It's just a lamp.
21:53If you were blindfolded, you wouldn't know the difference.
21:55If I was blindfolded, why would I need a lamp?
21:57Okay, that was a bad example.
22:00Look, they're all basically the same.
22:02What about this one?
22:03This is great.
22:04It doesn't swivel.
22:06The other one swiveled.
22:09I think you should try something different for a change.
22:13You probably don't even make your stupid lamp anymore.
22:16What do you mean?
22:17Maybe it's been discontinued.
22:22Discontinued?
22:24Why don't you buy a lamp factory and make your own?
22:27It only costs you $500,000, but at least you'd have your precious lamp.
22:33There it is.
22:35This is it.
22:37You're buying three?
22:39Two are backups.
22:43Why didn't you fill out an application?
22:45Maybe I will.
22:49$95.75.
22:54Would you mind?
22:56I'll pay you back.
22:57Where's your wallet?
22:58I'm having it, you know, buffed.
23:03Look at that face.
23:05There is no way this guy walked on the wild side.
23:08No way.
23:09I don't know.
23:10People surprise you.
23:14You know?
23:16When we were in his office, I saw some flowers from his old fraternity, Phi Beta Tau.
23:22I used to date a guy from that frat.
23:25He was pretty intense.
23:27He told me about two guys who almost died during initiation.
23:31There was like the secret ceremonies and weird handshakes.
23:37Look who I'm talking to about weird handshakes.
23:39Excuse me.
23:41It's declined.
23:43We accept cash.
23:45Adrian, this is unacceptable.
23:47It is just unacceptable.
23:49You have to pay me.
23:53Did you try calling Leo Ottoman again?
23:55Huh?
23:56Did you?
23:59What's wrong?
24:00On his key chain, he had an insignia, Phi Beta Tau.
24:07What?
24:08Who did?
24:09The guy who...
24:10The guy who shot Teal.
24:13Archie, Modine.
24:15They were in the same fraternity.
24:17Oh, my God.
24:18What?
24:20They knew each other.
24:25This was a lot more enjoyable when I was on that side of the table.
24:30You're on the right side of the table, Modine.
24:34Look, Captain, I'm not lawyering up here, am I?
24:38I'm talking to you, right?
24:40I screwed up.
24:41I admitted it.
24:42Oh, yeah.
24:42He screwed up.
24:43I withheld information.
24:48I filed a false report, all right?
24:51I knew the guy.
24:53Yeah, why the hell didn't you tell us that before?
24:57I was protecting a friend.
25:02Mrs. Teal.
25:05That's right.
25:06I mean, I just didn't want to drag her into all this.
25:08You understand that?
25:13Maybe not.
25:17I just didn't think anybody would connect us.
25:19I mean, how did you find out?
25:22We had a little help.
25:26Sidney Teal was two years ahead of me, Cal State.
25:29We were in the same frat, but I didn't really know him.
25:32How'd you meet his wife?
25:34Fundraiser for the college, you know.
25:36Sidney was in the spotlight, but my interest was more in...
25:41Mira.
25:41And as the kids say, we hooked up.
25:45It was a fling.
25:46I mean, I hardly remember it.
25:50Teal must have found out.
25:51And then, you know...
25:53Oh, come on, Captain.
25:54He came at me with a knife.
25:56What would you do?
26:00Sidney Teal did not suffer a nervous breakdown.
26:04The incident on Harrison Place was, in fact, a crime of passion.
26:07We believe that Mr. Teal was, in fact, trying to murder Mr. Modine, who was linked romantically
26:15at one time with Mr. Teal's wife, Mira.
26:19Over the next 10 days, the DA's office is going to decide whether or not they want to
26:23press charges against Mr. Modine for filing a false report.
26:26Captain, there's a story in today's Tribune that says the Department knows the identity
26:38of Frady Cop, but is refusing to release it.
26:41It's that true cop right here.
26:42Mr. Ladies and gentlemen, you appreciate it, Captain.
26:44You're on the same.
26:44I'm sorry.
26:45It's true.
26:45No comment.
26:48Captain, sir.
26:48All right, hey, hey, hang on.
26:54I have another statement.
26:56Here it is.
26:57The next reporter that asks me about this so-called Frady Cop is going to be banned from all press
27:03conferences for a year.
27:12Here's our invoice for the Teal case.
27:14We like to get paid.
27:16Don't you usually just mail this in?
27:18We're in a rush.
27:19A little short, huh?
27:21Yeah.
27:21So are you.
27:23Just initial it where it says job completed to satisfaction, please.
27:28What are you doing?
27:29It's not over.
27:30No, no, no, no.
27:31Don't do this.
27:32The case is closed.
27:34You heard the press conference.
27:36He owned a gun.
27:37Who did?
27:38Sidney Teal.
27:39If he wanted to kill Archie Modine in that parking lot, why didn't he bring the gun?
27:43I don't know.
27:44He bought a knife.
27:45It wasn't a very big knife.
27:47Only had a four-inch blade.
27:49And I don't think Teal knew about that affair.
27:51He was planning a romantic getaway with his wife, remember?
27:54Look, we need to get paid.
27:57I need cash.
27:58The stores in my neighborhood insist on money.
28:02I'm sorry.
28:11I'm really, really sorry.
28:14I can't.
28:16There's more to it.
28:17If you don't submit that invoice, I'm quitting.
28:22Now I'm going to give you until three.
28:25No, not three o'clock.
28:26I'm counting to three.
28:31One, two, three.
28:37Call me the minute you grow up.
28:56What should I do?
28:59I don't know.
29:02No.
29:03Tell me what to do.
29:04I can't do that.
29:09Can you find somebody who will tell me what to do?
29:12I can't do that.
29:21I can't wait to see them.
29:23I won't go.
29:25How long, how long, how long, how long?
29:25No, I can't die.
29:27No, i cannot do anything.
29:28Come on, come on.
29:28Go on, go, try.
29:29No, i can't do anything.
29:30From all of the bee perspectives,
29:30No, i can't do anything.
29:31I can't do anything.
29:32I will tell you nothing.
29:32I can't do nothing.
29:33I can't do anything.
29:34I can't do anything.
29:34Of no matter how long,
29:35supply lies enough.
29:37Come on.
29:37Get out.
29:38If you are doing anything.
29:38I can't do anything.
29:39What?
29:39Yes?
29:39Yes?
29:40Oh, my God.
30:10So, D-Man, this Brady Cop situation is getting out of control.
30:19The San Francisco PD just brought a bunch of squad cars to know he's going to be first.
30:24Well, you know what I heard?
30:25Every officer is being issued some new equipment.
30:29A white flag and a diaper.
30:31But they better do it uptight because there's a cold snap coming.
30:40A drive-by shooting.
30:42Did they have any leads?
30:43Nothing on the bullets.
30:45They found the car a few blocks away.
30:48Stolen.
30:50100% clean of prints.
30:52You know, you don't seem very upset.
30:56Well, it means I'm making someone very uneasy, and that's not such a bad thing.
31:02Well, so Sharona must have been terrified.
31:05She quit.
31:07We had an argument about money.
31:10She took a job at a lamp store on Prospect Street.
31:13She'd rather sell lamps than work for me.
31:17Let me ask you something.
31:20Two weeks ago, she bought me this mug.
31:24Said, world's greatest boss.
31:27Are you allowed to do that?
31:29Buy someone a mug and then just quit?
31:32I don't think mugs are legally binding, A.G.
31:36I never had to think about money.
31:39Trudy used to pay all the bills.
31:41While we're on that subject, there is something that I have to say.
31:48Oh.
31:49Now you see, this can't be good.
31:52Well, no.
31:53The fact is that, um...
31:57See, I haven't been paid for the past nine weeks, nine sessions.
32:02Now that's a lot of money.
32:04Oh, my God.
32:06You're gonna leave me, too.
32:07No, no, no.
32:08I did not say that, Adrian.
32:10I'm gonna be all alone.
32:13What a time to be me.
32:15Adrian, I promise you, I...
32:17No one is leaving you.
32:18Sharona did.
32:21Are you okay?
32:24I hate owing you money.
32:27I just...
32:27I just hate it.
32:30Listen.
32:30Listen.
32:32Until...
32:33Until we get squared away,
32:36I'm gonna have to start seeing you twice a week.
32:39Uh, excuse me, miss.
33:00We're closing.
33:02Now?
33:03That's right.
33:05What for?
33:06It's a holiday.
33:07What holiday?
33:10It's lamp day.
33:11How was your day?
33:36I bought a lamp.
33:41Three, actually.
33:42All right.
34:12I've been meaning to buy the book.
34:29Did he really mention me?
34:30Drink your milk.
34:32Yeah, it was just one line in chapter three.
34:35He said he loved you.
34:38I'm surprised he even remembers me.
34:40We only dated, like...
34:42I heard two or three times.
34:46Sidney was a junior.
34:47You know, you could already tell
34:49that he was going to be rich or famous.
34:52The guy was a genius.
34:54I should have married the schlub.
34:56Oh, wait, wait, wait.
34:57Hold on one sec.
35:00He was a junior.
35:03Can I ask you something?
35:04Yeah?
35:05Is this your first case?
35:09Uh, no.
35:10But...
35:11I usually work with a partner.
35:19I'm looking for Kelly Street.
35:22Oh, Kelly's not home.
35:23I'm her sister, Bonnie.
35:25Uh, my name...
35:26It doesn't matter.
35:27Come on in.
35:29Kelly should be back any minute.
35:37Can I get you anything?
35:39We have, uh, high C or grape juice.
35:43Oh, how about some homemade applesauce?
35:46No, I'm fine.
35:47I'm just perfect.
35:48So, you say your wife was a writer.
35:53Yeah, she was a columnist for The Examiner.
35:58She died four years ago.
36:00She was murdered.
36:01Oh, dear.
36:02What's the world coming to?
36:04I don't know, ma'am.
36:05I ask myself that every day.
36:07This...
36:08This was from...
36:10From her appointment book.
36:13See, this was her last entry.
36:15I always thought that 530 Kelly Street was an address.
36:20But then this morning, it hit me.
36:23It's a name, Kelly Street.
36:25Well, her real name's Katrina.
36:27I was the first one to call her Kelly.
36:30Right.
36:30And the 530 is not a house number.
36:34It means half past five, of course.
36:37So, Trudy must have been planning to meet your sister on that day.
36:42Something about a Mr. Simon, you see?
36:45Who is that?
36:48Is that a friend of the family?
36:50Mr. Simon was your dog.
36:53When Mr. Simon passed away and died,
36:56Kelly couldn't bear to bury him.
36:58So, she had him stuffed.
37:01Some people found it peculiar.
37:03Your wife was probably writing a little story about her.
37:07Um, do you mind if I touch him?
37:11Of course.
37:18Taxidermy always fascinated me.
37:25What are you doing?
37:26That's not Mr. Simon, silly billy.
37:32That's the colonel.
37:34Colonel.
37:35This is Mr. Simon.
37:40I...
37:41Oh, company!
37:44Oh, thank God.
37:46Are you...
37:46Are you Kelly Street, Mrs. Kelly Street?
37:49You don't remember me?
37:51I'm...
37:52I'm sorry?
37:53Mr. Monk, you've been here three times.
37:57You come every year asking about your wife.
38:05Oh, dear.
38:06You should write it down, Mr. Monk.
38:15So you don't forget.
38:18You're right.
38:21You're right.
38:23I...
38:23I...
38:24I must have blocked it out.
38:26In the book, Mr. Teal said somebody mugs you on your first date, but he didn't really give any details.
38:41Technically, we weren't mugged.
38:43We were almost mugged.
38:44I was scared to death.
38:48Money.
38:48I just froze.
38:50He had a knife.
38:51He had a knife?
38:52But Sidney, he lunged at the guy.
38:56He started fighting.
38:59Come on!
39:01I couldn't believe it.
39:04Sidney really stood up to him.
39:06I didn't think he had it in him.
39:08Did he say anything?
39:11Who?
39:12The mugger.
39:13Oh, jeez.
39:16That was 20 years ago.
39:18Uh...
39:19I think he said, you know, give me your money.
39:24Don't be a hero.
39:27He said that?
39:30Don't be a hero?
39:32Yeah.
39:33Is that important?
39:34Oh, yeah.
39:35That is...
39:36That is very important.
39:42Um...
39:42I think I just busted this case wide open.
39:48I think I just busted this case wide open.
40:19That's better.
40:26Leo?
40:27Leo?
40:29Leo!
40:31Leo!
40:33Leo Otterman!
40:36Hey, you remember me?
40:38I'm Adrian Monk.
40:40Of course I remember.
40:42Yeah, yeah, I found you, Picasso,
40:44and I still have not been paid.
40:47I told you, I need a little more time.
40:49Yeah, Leo.
40:49And I'm telling you that that is not good enough, sir.
40:53Okay, okay, look, Leo.
40:55Sharona quit again,
40:57and I went to see Kelly Street.
41:00I thought she was an address,
41:02but she's not an address.
41:04She's a woman.
41:06I've been there before three times.
41:09Forget that.
41:09Just forget all that.
41:11Sharona was not there.
41:13I can't pay her.
41:15And I cannot do this without her.
41:20Thank you for sharing.
41:21Yeah, okay, Leo.
41:22I'm sure it's all very fascinating.
41:24Call my office, and we'll work something out.
41:27No, Leo.
41:27Leo!
41:28Wait, Leo!
41:29Wait a second.
41:29All right, look.
41:30Look, Leo!
41:31Hey!
41:32Okay, look.
41:34Leo!
41:35I'm not moving.
41:37You think I'm bluffing?
41:38You're going to have to run me down.
41:47We're back up.
41:49We're going to the other.
41:50Adrian!
41:53Adrian!
41:57Sharona.
41:59Oh!
41:59Oh, my God.
42:02I've been looking all over for you.
42:04Are you okay?
42:05Yeah, that was Leo, Autumn,
42:07and I tried to stop him,
42:09but he got away.
42:10I wanted to pay you.
42:12No, no, no.
42:12Just forget about that jerk.
42:13Look at this.
42:15What have you been doing?
42:18Investigating.
42:19I went to see Angie DeLuca.
42:21She used to date Cindy, too, in college.
42:23Now, Adrian, you're not going to believe this.
42:26There was another mugging 20 years ago.
42:28It was the exact same thing,
42:30except Sidney Teal was the guy being mugged.
42:34What?
42:36Now, get this.
42:38The mugger from 20 years ago said,
42:41don't be a hero.
42:42Really?
42:46That's interesting.
42:49See?
42:50I knew it was interesting.
42:52I mean, I didn't know why,
42:54but I knew.
42:58I know that look.
43:05You got it, right?
43:10Are you sure about this?
43:14Yes.
43:15You hesitated.
43:16Why'd you hesitate?
43:17I was thinking about something else.
43:19Let's go.
43:19Move it out.
43:20Mr. Modine.
43:22Thank you for coming.
43:23What the hell is going on, Captain?
43:25Mr. Monk wants a few moments of everybody's time.
43:27I think that's not too much for me.
43:29Captain Sonnemara.
43:30He leaves on the Grady Cup.
43:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
43:32There's a movie he's leaving in Mexico.
43:33Hey, hey, hey, hey.
43:34You want to ambush people?
43:36You join the army, okay?
43:37The captain's trying to work here.
43:39People, he doesn't have time for your crap.
43:40Now, step back, please.
43:41Step back.
43:42Officer Murata.
43:45Thank you, sir.
43:45I wish I'd known you were coming.
43:54I could have Mrs. Danvers prepare something.
43:57This isn't a party, Mrs. Teal.
43:59Well, I guess you can't believe everything you read.
44:02Newspapers said the investigation was closed.
44:05Theirs was.
44:06Ours wasn't.
44:08My attorney says that I can file a harassment case whenever I feel like it.
44:12Mrs. Teal, your lawyers are going to have enough to do to keep you off of death row.
44:17You'll be needing an attorney, too, sir, for the murder of Sidney Teal and the attempted murder of me.
44:24The drive-by shooting.
44:26Both of them.
44:28They were in it together, Captain.
44:30I'll tell you what troubled me from the very beginning.
44:33The knee pads and the elbow pads.
44:36When your husband left that night, he wasn't planning to mug anyone.
44:44He wasn't planning to kill anyone.
44:46He was just going out to have a little fun.
44:50Maybe roll around on the ground.
44:52He thought he was going to help you impress your date, Mr. Modine.
44:56That's ridiculous.
44:58Is it?
44:58You did it before, 20 years ago.
45:00He wrote about it in his book.
45:02Back in college, Sidney had a big date with Angie DeLuca.
45:07He wasn't much of a ladies' man.
45:10And he was trying to impress her.
45:12So the two of you cooked up a plan?
45:15Yep, you cooked up a plan.
45:17Would you like to tell it?
45:20No, no, no.
45:21You're better at telling it.
45:23Go ahead.
45:25You can tell it.
45:27No.
45:28You tell it.
45:29I'll tell it next time.
45:30For God's sake, somebody tell it.
45:31It was a harmless little prank.
45:35You pretended to mug Sidney Teal at his date.
45:39And for a minute, the mild-mannered computer geek got to look like Superman.
45:45And I'm sure you both had a big laugh about it later on.
45:49You are a nutcase.
45:52No one's going to believe him.
45:55On occasion, I've been known to believe him.
45:57Don't stop now.
45:59Where was I?
46:0020 years later, Sidney brought Mira to his college fundraiser.
46:05And that's where you two met.
46:08And you met again and again and again.
46:11Are you sure you don't want to tell it?
46:14No, no, no.
46:14You're doing great.
46:15Just go.
46:16A year goes by.
46:17You decide that life would be perfect without Sidney Teal around.
46:24So you two had your plans.
46:27You contacted Sidney.
46:30And you reminded him about the time that you helped him impress his date.
46:34And you asked him if he wouldn't like to return the favor.
46:37You knew he wouldn't say no.
46:39It was a chance for him to relive one of the best nights of his life.
46:43And it worked like a charm.
46:46To the rest of the world, it appeared that an eccentric billionaire had a nervous breakdown.
46:53And if worse came to worse and anyone connected you with Sidney Teal, you just had to admit that you'd had an affair and claim that the shooting was self-defense.
47:04That is one hell of a story, Mr. Monk.
47:09If you could prove it.
47:15He always went the extra mile.
47:18That night, your pal Sidney had a little surprise of his own.
47:22Really?
47:23Yes, sir.
47:24You see, he'd hired an actor to pose as a cop.
47:29So after you scared off the mugger, the cop was going to run up and commend you for your heroism.
47:39Oh, my God.
47:40Frady Cop.
47:41I'm afraid so.
47:43You see, Captain, I remembered what you'd said.
47:46That no cop in your department would ever run from the scene of a crime.
47:50And it occurred to me, maybe Frady Cop wasn't a real cop.
47:55I checked all the local costume shops.
48:00There was only one cop uniform rented that night.
48:03What are you doing?
48:12Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet Joseph Murata.
48:15Very promising young actor.
48:19You?
48:19Joe wanted me to mention that he can be seen in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Harris-Webley Dinner Theater all next week.
48:29You know, when I heard the shots, I guess I kind of panicked.
48:34I'm sorry if I caused you guys any problems.
48:37Problems?
48:38Kid, you have no idea.
48:41I swear, I didn't know anything about this.
48:44This is all his idea.
48:46You lying bitch.
48:47You planned the whole thing.
48:50Modine, get back.
48:52Stay back.
48:56Stay down.
48:57Oh, gee, give me the arm.
49:01Modine, you're under arrest for the murder of Sidney Teal.
49:04You have the right to remain silent.
49:06Anything we say can be used against you in a sort of law.
49:10I can't do that, sir.
49:26That's a sure name.
49:31Fourteen hundred, fourteen hundred and sixty.
49:35That's all I have.
49:37You didn't have to call the cops.
49:39Here.
49:40I prefer not to handle cash.
49:44Nice doing business with you, Leo.
49:46Next time, sir, just pay your debts.
49:51Wait a minute.
49:53I know you.
49:54You were on the news.
49:55No, no, that was...
49:55Frady, car.
49:56No, no, no.
49:57Hey, come back here.
50:00You know who I am.
50:01Look at him go.
50:02He's an inspiration.
