"No." "I couId be dating the next mayor of San Francisco." "I thought you didn't like Kenny." "I don't know." "I changed my mind." "Oh, my God." "I've got to get more copies." "[bell dinging]" "Mr. Monk, I tell you before." "Do not ring the bell." "Stop that!" "It's 10:00, Mrs. Ling." "The ticket says, "Tuesday, 10:00 a.m."" "It's an approximation, Mr. Monk." "It means, "About 10:00." Not at 10:00, you crazy man." "What's wrong with you?" "Okay, give me your ticket." "Mr. Monk, I told you before, no copies." "Where's the original ticket?" "It's safe at home in my file." "What do you need a file for?" "This is dry cleaning ticket!" "Stop that." "Why you let him Xerox?" "I'm not with him every minute." "MRS. LING:" "Okay." "Here you go." "Four shirts, okay?" "That's $24." "Why do I pay more?" "Because you're so much trouble, okay." "I got to clean everything twice... then I got to stand here and talk to you for like half an hour." "Okay, good." "Thank you." "Bye-bye, now." "Thank you, Mrs. Ling." "Wait." "What is it now?" "well, this is all wrinkled." "well, it's cellophane." "It's gonna get wrinkled." "That's cellophane, crazy man." "Come on." "What's this?" "Oh, that?" "That's nothing." "Okay, bye-bye, now."

"SHARONA:" "Thanks." "tell Kenny I say hi." "I will." "He stayed on his feet as long as he could." "Then he fell, dragged away." "I couId hear him screaming and begging." "It could have been me." "It should have been me." "What do you mean?" "I was wide open." "Frankie had three cars in line." "Wait." "You were wide open?" "But the killer went to Mr. PuIaski's booth and waited in line?" "Yeah." "Why would he do that unless...." "He was after that particular guy." "So, you didn't see the driver, and you didn't get a make of the car?" "Sorry." "It might have been a chrysler." "I'm not sure." "Captain, what's this?" "The killer paid his toil with that." "That's supposed to be at the lab." "Lieutenant?" "Hey, guys." "CAPTAIN:" "What is this, a high-schooI dance?" "Give the girl some room." "Let her breathe." "Come here." "I want to talk to you." "I understand that you are seeing Kenny shale." "It's nothing serious." "Yes, it is." "I wanna tell you something, Sharona." "Your life is about to change." "Everybody you know is gonna want a piece of you." "You're not going to know who to trust."

"Kenny, he's a good guy." "He's good people." "You called him a weasel." "CAPTAIN:" "No, I didn't." "SHARONA:" "Yeah, three weeks ago." "No, I never said "weasel." I said he was a...." "Yeah, I said "weasel." But then, you see...." "That's not a bad thing." "I had a weasel." "A weasel is a noble animal, all right?" "It's a term of endearment." "Jerry!" "Hey, how you doing, you weasel?" "Good to see you." "See, I call everybody a weasel." "Captain, look at this." "His coin tray was almost empty." "He was just starting his shift?" "That's right." "He was." "So the killer had to have been waiting for pulaski to come on duty." "That's right." "I remember." "The guy was parked right over there by the call box for about 20 minutes." "So he was waiting?" "What do you think, Sharona?" "[Smooth, jazzy instrumental music]" "Me?" "Yeah." "She's dating Kenny shale, who's running for mayor." "DOCTOR:" "Yeah, I know." "I've been reading about him." "I don't think she really likes him." "I think she just likes all the attention." "Everyone in the department has been fawning over her..." "laughing at her jokes, getting her coffee." "Maybe you should be happy for her." "Can I tell you something?" "Yeah, that's why we're here." "The last few days, I find myself thinking... that if Kenny shale is elected and Sharona is still with him... maybe she could...." "She could help to get you reinstated to the department." "[Sighs]" "I'm as bad as any of them." "Oh, Adrian, no." "You see, there's nothing wrong with being ambitious." "It just means that you're human." "Human." "It's been a Iong time since anybody's called me that." "[Doctor chuckling]" "What's wrong with your shirt?" "Nothing." "Why are you holding it like that?" "I put on the wrong shirt." "What?" "There's a stain?" "Because, see, I don't see anything." "It's the button." "Mrs. Ling sewed it back on." "The stitching is all different." "The stitching?" "It's not crisscrossed." "It's parallel." "Don't pretend you don't see it." "[suspenseful instrumental music]" "MAN:" "ArIene?" "MAN:" "ArIene Carney?" "ARLENE:" "Yes?" "MAN:" "How are you, ArIene?" "ARLENE:" "Who is that?"

"And the dry cleaner sewed it on wrong." "Sir?" "Weren't you staring at my button?" "No, sir." "Whatever." "We haven't met." "I'm Chuck Evered." "The theatre manager." "Adrian Monk." "Sharona." "If you're looking for Jackie O, she's over there." "SHARONA:" "Kenny took me to City hall last night... and we had dinner in the private dining room." "Wow, really?" "Maybe I'II bring you next time." "Kenny might need a bodyguard." "[cell phone ringing]" "SHARONA:" "hello?" "Hi, Kenny." "Whoa, guys!" "Guys, keep it down." "Her royal Highness is talking to Mr. Kenny shale." "Go ahead." "Go ahead, kid." "You're doing fine." "BOY:" "So, she goes inside, and about a minute later, a man steps up." "Can you describe him?" "I couldn't really see his face." "He was holding a handkerchief over his mouth like he had a cold." "He bought a ticket for the same movie... and I asked him if he wanted the combo special... which is a Iarge popcorn and a medium drink." "A $9 value at only $7.50." "He said no." "And then he went inside and killed her... which I had no idea he was planning to do." "And he paid you with this?" "Yes, sir." "Great, thanks a Iot." "You need to go downtown and talk to a sketch artist." "Jerry?" "Officer Johnson will give you a ride." "Captain." "What?" "You've got a serial killer on your hands." "The woman was strangled." "She didn't know any of the other victims." "I am not crying wolf until I am 100%sure." "This is definitely the same man that killed Frank PuIaski at the toll booth." "A Iot of people pay with $10 bills." "It's brand-new." "There are a Iot of brand-new 10s out there right now." "The serial numbers are sequential." "What?" "You remember that?" "well, I got a pretty good look at it." "The bill at the toll booth ended with 6092B." "This is 6093B." "A serial killer." "[Tense instrumental music]" "RANDY:" "Captain." "Washington just sent this." "It's a prelim psych profile." "Let me guess." "The killer is between 30 and 45 years old... white male, does not work in an office, probably spent time in the military... and definitely hates his mother." "Yeah." "How'd you know?" "Because that's what they always say." "That's scrap paper." "What about the $10 bills?" "Anything on them?" "They're from a bank in San Mateo." "wells Fargo, untraceable." "Of course they are." "AII right, everybody, listen up!" "CAPTAIN:" "Listen up." "We're not gonna find him flailing around in the dark." "Let's communicate, keep each other briefed." "We're going Dumpster diving." "We're gonna" "CAPTAIN:" "What are you doing?" "What is that?" "I'm leaving a space for the next victim." "Take that down." "Take it down." "There is no next victim." "We're stopping the son of a bitch at 10." "SHARONA:" "well, thank you." "KEVIN:" "Sharona!" "Are you cold?" "Here you go." "Thank you, Kevin." "Sharona!" "Look at this." "Sharona FIeming?" "Yes, I'm Sharona FIeming." "These are from Kenny shale." "Oh, my God." "They're beautiful." "Thank you." "Let me get you a vase for these." "Okay." "Sharona!" "hello?" "Sharona, look." "Miss Fleming." "[Sharona giggling]" "Lieutenant?" "Captain, can I show you something?" "Look, Lieutenant." "MONK:" "Look at this one, this one..." "and that one." "Yeah, the calendars." "exactly." "These three have the same calendar on their wall." "Yeah, we noticed that yesterday, Monk." "Come here." "I want to show you something." "They send me one of those every year." "probably print a million of them." "actually, they print 25,000." "I talked to the insurance company last night." "It's a single office, mum-and-pop operation, still owned by Mr. Henry SmaIIs." "It can't be a coincidence." "Captain, three of them, maybe more, with the exact same calendar." "We at Ieast have to check this guy out." "We already did." "Lieutenant?" "Henry SmaIIs, 47 years old." "He's been away for the Iast two weeks at an insurance convention in baltimore." "He's due back tonight." "He's been out of town, Monk." "Okay." "But maybe he's the common denominator." "Maybe you might be right." "But I cannot put this on the top of my pile." "I have 700 leads." "At least half of them are stronger than this is." "I will get to that, eventually, I promise." "But he's coming home tonight." "I said eventually." "SHARONA:" "I miss anything?" "MONK:" "Not much." "We're just trying to catch a serial killer before he strikes again." "hardly worth mentioning, really." "Listen, there's a possible lead." "You and I are going to stake out the guy's house later." "You mean tonight?" "Yeah." "I can't." "This is Kenny's only night off." "SHARONA:" "I told you three days ago that I needed tonight off." "Sharona, this guy's coming home tonight." "I have to talk to him." "Okay, so who's stopping you?" "You don't need me." "I don't need you?" "Haven't you been paying attention for the Iast three years?" "Hire a kelly girl." "A what?" "A temp." "You pay them by the hour." "They'II do anything." "I can't bring a temp on a stakeout." "AII I know is that I'm seeing Kenny tonight." "And I'm going on that stakeout." "Yeah, that's the house." "Number 782." "MONK:" "He'II be home any minute." "I finally got you in the backseat, and after only three dates." "Kenny, you've got to behave yourself." "This is official police business, know what I mean?" "KENNY:" "I'm so sorry." "I'm just so excited." "This is my first stakeout." "SHARONA:" "well, I brought you some doughnuts." "real stakeout food." "KENNY:" "Okay." "And I brought the vino." "KENNY:" "This wine is 30 years old." "KENNY:" "Let's not let it live another minute, okay?" "Doughnuts and red wine." "This might be the best date I ever had." "Here, baby, take this." "Hey, Adrian, thanks again for inviting me." "Don't make a mess back there." "It's my car." "[cell phone rings]" "That's true." "Don't make a mess back there." "KENNY:" "hello?" "Yes, sir." "Thursday's perfect." "Yes, sir, I'll see you there." "KENNY:" "well, yes, sir, she's right here." "[Kenny laughing]" "KENNY:" "I'II tell her." "Yes, sir." "Thank you." "The governor says hi." "That was the governor?" "He said hi to me?" "Yes, he did." "SHARONA:" "Adrian, did you hear that?" "MONK:" "Did he mention me?" "I met him during the campaign." "No, he didn't." "Saved his life... got him elected, that's all." "Kenny, has Sharona told you about some of the cases I've been working on?" "[Kenny and Sharona giggling]" "You know, I couId do so much more... if I was officially reinstated." "KENNY:" "Isn't that good?" "SHARONA:" "Kenny, not now." "I told you, remember?" "Adrian, what are you doing?" "The odometer's 9999." "I'm trying to get it to zero." "KENNY:" "Why?" "So then it'II be at zero." "KENNY:" "But will that work?" "KENNY:" "Do they change if you go backwards and forwards?" "It's changing." "Look." "There it goes." "SHARONA:" "It's not moving." "MONK:" "Yeah, it's moving." "[suspenseful instrumental music]" "Oh, God!" "No!" "Look out behind you!" "Look out!" "Henry Smalls!" "[Henry groaning]" "MONK:" "Henry SmaIIs!" "SHARONA:" "Adrian!" "SHARONA:" "What are you doing?" "MONK:" "I don't know." "[suspenseful instrumental music continues]" "[Both groaning]" "CAPTAIN:" "It's number 11, damn it." "AII right, nobody's going home." "I want to know how many of our victims knew Mr. Henry SmaIIs." "We're gonna revisit every crime scene, every house." "We huddle back here at 0900." "Go!" "CAPTAIN:" "Go!" "CAPTAIN:" "You okay?" "MONK:" "Yeah." "CAPTAIN:" "What happened?" "You hurt both of your hands?" "No, just the Ieft one." "CAPTAIN:" "Why do you have bandages on both?" "Right." "Symmetry." "CAPTAIN:" "Where is our future mayor?" "He went home." "He was pretty shaken up." "I'II bet he is." "Grace under pressure." "That's what I Iook for in a chief executive." "Can you ID this guy?" "I'm not sure." "He was wearing a ski mask." "well, you were right about Henry SmaIIs." "Except, I honestly thought he might be a suspect, not the next victim." "Yeah, but it is something." "It's something real." "We've got our foot in the door." "Thank you." "[Sighing with frustration]" "CAPTAIN:" "Monk, what the hell is going on here?" "Okay." "A Hispanic plumber... a retired white cop... an African-American schoolteacher... what do they have in common?" "CAPTAIN:" "absolutely nothing." "MONK:" "exactly." "They've nothing in common." "MONK:" "Different ages, occupations, some were rich, some poor." "Captain, this is a very diverse group." "They are too diverse." "Too diverse?" "I'm talking statistics." "You'd have to work hard, really hard... to find a group this different." "Plus, look at this." "MONK:" "blue pins indicate where they lived." "CAPTAIN:" "Yep." "The murders took place all throughout the Bay Area... but the victims all lived in Marin County." "What are the odds of that?" "Go on." "A diverse group... all registered to vote." "You know where you find a group like that?" "CAPTAIN:" "Yes." "On a jury." "RANDY:" "Yeah, hang on." "[whimsical instrumental music]" "He's right." "They all served on the same jury six years ago." "A jury." "On a jury." "eleven victims." "What did they have in common?" "They all served together on the same jury six years ago in Marin County." "It was a personal injury lawsuit." "A handyman named Ian Agnew fell off of a roof and he landed on a metal pipe... which was sticking up out of the ground." "Now, he sued the homeowners, a Stewart and Lisa Babcock, for negligence." "apparently, part of the pipe is still in the guy's head." "He has a pipe in his head?" "Yep." "He's got a three-quarter inch galvanised metal pipe in his head." "They couldn't remove all of it." "He has a pipe in his head?" "He was awarded $700,000." "The homeowners' insurance paid for the whole thing." "It was a routine trial." "Except, six years later, the jury's being killed off one at a time." "Excuse me, Captain." "What happened to the 12th juror?" "That's a good question, Kenny." "You know, I couId use a guy like you on the force." "The 12th and only surviving juror is a fellow named Cassidy." "wallace J. Cassidy." "We're looking for him right now." "Did anything unusual happen during the trial?" "well, not according to this." "They deliberated for a day and a half." "They went and visited the scene of the accident." "Then they were sequestered at a motel for a night... and they delivered their verdict." "It's all very straightforward." "Captain!" "You ready for this?" "Randy, you could be halfway through your first sentence now." "We just picked up Juror Number 12 at a casino in WaIIenpaupack." "He gambles a Iot." "He's always in debt." "He did it." "What?" "He confessed?" "No, he Iawyered up." "He's not saying a thing." "But you think he's the guy?" "He tried to bolt when we picked him up." "The guy put up a hell of a fight." "And are you ready for this?" "Yes, Randy, we're ready." "You don't have to ask." "You never have to ask." "We just came from his house... there was a body part in the freezer." "A human finger." "CAPTAIN:" "really?" "The DA's gonna love that." "They love body parts in the freezer." "But none of the victims were missing a finger." "Yeah, well, he killed somebody else." "That's why they call them "psychotic."" "Why would he wait six years, and then kill everybody else on the jury?" "I don't know and I don't care." "congratulations, Captain." "I'II be sure to mention you in my statement." "Whoa." "Hey, hang on." "Kenny, I think I should go with you." "They're gonna have a Iot of questions and I know this case inside and out." "AII right." "I'II say a few words and then I'II introduce you, okay?" "Kenny?" "KENNY:" "Yeah, babe?" "SHARONA:" "Wait." "SHARONA:" "Crooked." "KENNY:" "Thank you, honey." "Captain!" "Thank you, honey." "shall we?" "MONK:" "Wait." "Captain?" "Why don't we slow down here?" "I mean, what if I can ID this guy?" "I'd Iike to give it a try." "You want to be sure about this, right?" "Number 5, could you slide a little to your right." "[Tense instrumental music]" "A little more." "Thank you." "Number 1, you have some lint on your jumpsuit." "Number 2, could you help Number 1?" "Adrian." "Do you see the guy from last night?" "Number 3, could you trade places with Number 2?" "Number 3, stay where you are." "Monk, do you see the guy or not?" "Listen to me." "This is very important for you." "It's very important for everybody." "So, for the record, before you say anything... please count to the number four." "Number 4, could you step forward?" "[Tense instrumental music continues]" "could you straighten that number?" "He's not the guy." "He's not the guy?" "MONK:" "His fingernails are too long." "The guy I fought with last night didn't have any fingernails." "I think he chewed them." "Monk, this guy is the only surviving member from that jury." "We found a finger in his icebox." "He's not the guy." "I want to know more about that trial." "I think I should talk to the handyman who fell off the roof." "Captain, the press is all over this thing." "We can't keep a lid on it." "[Tense instrumental music continues]" "AII right, Monk, look, you go and you talk to the handyman, okay?" "But you make it quick because I have got to go public tonight." "Go!" "[Tense instrumental music continues]" "Thank you for seeing us." "I don't mind." "I don't get many visitors." "So, what can I do for you?" "Mr. Agnew, we were wondering about your accident." "please, sit down." "Ian, I used to be a nurse." "Is there anything I can do?" "No, thank you." "It comes and goes." "It's the pipe." "I have a piece of pipe in my head." "I don't get many visitors." "please, sit." "[Ian repeats "sit" over and over again]" "MONK:" "Sir." "About your accident?" "The accident." "I really don't remember much about it." "We were building a cabana near the pool for the Babcocks... and I was working on the roof." "And there was a tile loose." "And the next thing I knew, I woke up and I was a human smokestack." "I'II get it." "hello?" "It's a wrong number." "I get them all the time." "How's that coffee?" "Bad dog!" "Anyway, I haven't worked since." "[Monk sighs]" "How did you get the job?" "Mrs. Babcock hired me, although by the time I had started... she wasn't there anymore." "They split up." "She ran off." "I never got the whole story." "I dealt mostly with her husband, Stew." "I'II get it." "You know, I just changed my phone number and it doesn't seem to help." "I don't get many visitors." "Did you go to the trial?" "I testified." "Did you spend any time with the jury?" "No, ma'am." "I wish I had." "I wanted to thank them." "They were very generous." "I don't get many visitors." "[Singing] Daisy, Daisy, tell me your answer true" "IAN:" "Bad dog!" "You know what I think I miss the most?" "Not having this pipe in my head." "I have to take this." "hello?" "I can't believe you're not the craziest man in the room." "How did you get this number?" "We'II let ourselves out." "IAN:" "You tell me who this is right now!" "MONK:" "Go." "I don't believe that for a minute." "That was before my time." "LISA:" "I didn't even meet Stewart until after the trial." "LISA:" "would you Iike some lemonade?" "MONK:" "No, thank you." "LISA:" "Stew, these people want to talk about the handyman." "STEW:" "What handyman?" "LISA:" "The one who sued you." "Why?" "That's ancient history." "Is that where he fell?" "Yes, it was." "Mr. Babcock, were you at home when the accident occurred?" "STEW:" "No, I was on vacation with my wife." "My first wife." "The Dragon Lady." "MONK:" "Did you attend the trial?" "STEW:" "well, there was no reason to." "STEW:" "It was my insurance company's headache." "What is this all about?" "I mean, that was settled, Iike, six years ago." "It's probably nothing." "will you stop it?" "please?" "well, there's another case involving a few of the jurors." "The jurors?" "SHARONA:" "Yeah." "Did any of them try to contact you?" "LISA:" "The jurors?" "No." "Why would they?" "Thank you." "Do you have a trash can?" "Just toss it anywhere." "It's wet." "It's a leaf." "Why don't you just throw it on the ground?" "I'II throw it out." "You'II thank me later." "Around the corner, in the kitchen." "SHARONA:" "Thank you." "[whimsical instrumental music]" "SHARONA:" "I had so much fun the other night." "Did you?" "Yeah." "SHARONA:" "We have to do it again." "I know." "SHARONA:" "You're so bad." "hold on." "Kenny wants to know how we're doing." "tell him I don't know yet." "The jury's still out, so to speak." "Kenny, he's a little distracted right now." "Why don't I call you back later?" "SHARONA:" "Okay." "You did?" "Oh, my God." "Thank you." "SHARONA:" "You're an angel." "AII right, I'II speak to you later." "Bye." "Adrian, do you know what Kenny just did?" "He took care of all of my parking tickets." "He's like Superman." "MONK:" "That's strange." "SHARONA:" "What?" "Lisa Babcock said she didn't meet her husband till after the trial." "But look." "This picture was taken more than six years ago." "How do you know?" "I recognise that restaurant." "It's O'MaIIeys on Richmond." "They haven't allowed smoking in there since 1995." "[suspenseful instrumental music]" "And he was chewing his nails." "Who, Babcock?" "Just now." "In the pool." "SHARONA:" "So what does it mean?" "MONK:" "It means they're a couple of liars." "Or maybe worse." "Maybe a Iot worse." "CAPTAIN:" "Kenny, come here." "CAPTAIN:" "What are you doing?" "I didn't authorise this." "I did." "The people of San Francisco are frightened." "They deserve to know that we have a suspect in custody." "This is not a campaign stop, Kenny." "Monk could not ID the guy." "Monk could not ID the guy's fingernails, Captain." "KENNY:" "It's not good enough." "I want to reassure the citizens that we have made a breakthrough in this case." "CAPTAIN:" "We haven't made-- RANDY:" "Captain!" "We just found this photograph in wallace Cassidy's house." "Who's this?" "I don't know, but she's definitely a woman." "She looks like she's frozen." "Yeah, Captain, this picture... plus the finger in the freezer, plus he tried to run... plus he is the only surviving member on that jury." "What else do you need?" "CAPTAIN:" "Okay, go ahead." "SPOKESMAN:" "Good afternoon." "In a few minutes, Deputy Mayor Kenny shale... will be making his brief statement regarding the recent series of homicides." "RANDY:" "You're late." "They've started." "They're about to name wallace Cassidy as the primary suspect." "No, they're making a mistake." "There is something else going on here." "Stewart and Lisa Babcock are involved in all of this." "I know it." "The homeowners where the guy fell off the roof." "How?" "SHARONA:" "We're working on it." "RANDY:" "Can you prove it?" "Not yet." "What's this?" "RANDY:" "The coroner found it." "It's a sleeve or part of it." "Henry SmaIIs, Juror Number 12, he was clutching it when he died." "RANDY:" "He must have ripped it off the killer." "Monk, forget it." "It's a dead end." "It's already gone through the lab." "It's untraceable." "SPOKESMAN:" "There'II be time for a QA later, but, officially..." "SPOKESMAN: this is still an open case...." "MONK:" "Captain!" "What have you got?" "What's up?" "I think I know what's been going on here." "It wasn't Juror Number 12." "It was Stewart and Lisa Babcock." "What?" "The couple that's being sued?" "Are you sure?" "Do you mean, am I certain?" "Yes." "That's what I mean by, "Are you sure?"" "Not yet." "I need an hour." "Just one hour and then we'II know." "Is there a problem?" "Captain?" "Are we about ready?" "Hang on just a second." "Kenny, Monk needs an hour." "I'm gonna give it to him." "What about the press?" "The press can wait." "That's what they get paid for." "well, I can't." "If we don't start now, we're not going to make the 6:00 news, all right?" "I'm going to go ahead with or without you." "It's called leadership." "No, Kenny, it's called grandstanding." "CAPTAIN:" "Let's go." "SHARONA:" "Kenny!" "Hey, sweetie, I'm glad you stayed." "Watch this." "A star is born." "No, wait, Kenny." "Listen to me." "You're making a big mistake." "This is the kind of mistake that, that people won't forget." "well, Sharona, sweetheart, you don't understand how this game is played." "But you said you trusted me." "well, I trusted you to pick out my tie, babe." "Not with the big stuff." "KENNY:" "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen." "Thank you for coming." "KENNY:" "I'd Iike you all to know we've made a breakthrough." "Mr. and Mrs. Babcock?" "San Francisco P.D." "I'm Capt. Stottlemeyer." "Were you folks going somewhere?" "We're just getting away for the weekend." "Yes, we have a house at the beach." "well, I'm glad we caught you." "SHARONA: "I trust you with my ties." Where does he get off?" "I don't know." "Are those passports in your handbag, Mrs. Babcock?" "MONK:" "You're not leaving for the weekend, are you?" "You're leaving for good." "Because you heard they just arrested wallace Cassidy." "Who?" "SHARONA:" "Fixes a few parking tickets, thinks he'II talk to me that way." "Nobody talks to me that way." "wallace Cassidy." "He was on the jury when you were being sued six years ago." "What are you talking about?" "Why would we care about somebody on a jury?" "MONK:" "Maybe because you knew he was going to confess." "Not for murder, for blackmail." "Juror Number 12 was blackmailing you." "He knew that you had murdered your first wife." "MONK: [Voiceover] After lan Agnew fell off your roof six years ago... and sued you for negligence... the jury was brought here to visit the scene of the accident." "One of them, Wallace Cassidy, wandered off." "Most likely, he was looking for something to steal." "Mr. Cassidy had a gambling problem." "He was always in debt." "I can't believe I went out with him." "He's not even my type." "I felt sorry for that stupid weasel." "Sharona." "What?" "We're working here." "Mr. Cassidy never did find anything to steal." "[Voiceover] He found something a lot more valuable." "It was the first Mrs. Babcock." "He didn't leave without taking a picture, and one of her fingers." "We have that picture, and we have the finger." "It won't be hard to prove who it belongs to." "MONK: [Voiceover] He sent you an anonymous note demanding money." "You knew it was from one of the jurors, but you didn't know which one." "At the time you didn't really care." "Cassidy was small-time, and he wasn't asking for much." "So you paid him and you thought that was the end of it." "But it didn't end there." "Cassidy kept coming back for more." "So you decided to kill the blackmailer." "But since you didn't know which of the 12 jurors it was... they all had to go, one at a time." "Bastard!" "Not you." "Sharona, murderers, okay?" "STEW:" "relax, honey." "They can't prove a thing." "If they could, they would've arrested us as soon as they got here." "That's true." "I couldn't prove a thing until..." "I found this." "Your shirtsIeeve was torn off when you attacked Juror Number 11." "Can you prove that's my shirt?" "No, sir, I can't." "But I know someone who can." "As soon as I saw this, I had the strange feeling... that the killer and I might have something in common." "MONK:" "We both use the same dry cleaner." "Mr. Monk, why you bring me here?" "I got to close my shop." "I'm losing money." "You're just my worst customer." "The longest car ride of my Iife." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Ling, but this is very important." "Do you recognise this?" "Yeah, I know this shirt." "I clean this shirt." "silk." "beautiful shirt." "Hanger, no starch." "What you do to this shirt?" "Mrs. Ling, there must be a thousand shirts like this in the world." "How do you know you cleaned this particular one?" "You know how." "The button, it fall off." "I sewed it back on." "The thread is parallel, not crisscrossed." "No one else sews a button on like this." "I told you, Mr. Monk." "That's my style." "always complaining about the button." "Hey, Mr. Babcock!" "When I fixed this shirt for you... you don't complain, because you're a good customer." "Mrs. Ling, are you certain that this shirt belongs to Mr. Babcock?" "Yeah, I'm sure." "He's a good customer." "You come back anytime, Mr. Babcock." "RANDY:" "Ma'am, he just killed 11 people." "CAPTAIN:" "twelve." "Let's not forget about the first Mrs. Babcock... who, I'II bet, is buried under that new porch." "well, he's still a good customer." "Not crazy like that Mr. Monk over there." "Mr. and Mrs. Babcock, could you step back inside, please?" "We'd Iike to ask you a few more questions." "MONK:" "Thank you." "MRS. LING:" "Yeah, all right." "Hey, saw your boyfriend on TV last night." "Kenny shale." "He's a good man." "I Iike him." "Yeah?" "well, I Iike Mr. Monk better." "Mr. Monk's a crazy man." "SHARONA:" "well, I Iike him better." "MRS. LING:" "No." "SHARONA:" "I do." "MRS. LING:" "Stop saying that." "Go away, Mr. Monk!" "No!" "No more Mr. Monk!" "No!" "Go!" "You, go away!" "SHARONA:" "Forget it." "We'II find other cleaners." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "The meter ran out." "SHARONA:" "Didn't you feed the meter?" "MONK:" "I was carrying this." "Hey, do you know Kenny shale?" "He's a good friend of mine." "You mean the former deputy mayor?" "SHARONA:" "Former?" "COP:" "Yeah." "Your good friend resigned this morning." "It was on the news." "Have a nice day." "well, I guess the party's over." "I don't miss him." "I miss the attention, but not him." "Here." "What's this?" "I'm not paying for it." "It's your car." "SHARONA:" "You didn't put money in the meter." "MONK:" "Okay, Iet's compromise." "MONK:" "You pay the ticket, and I don't." "SHARONA:" "What kind of compromise is that?" "MONK:" "That's the economical kind." "[Theme music]"
