"It used to make me feel great." "But today, all I could think was, so what?" "This creep's going away." "There's ten other creeps out there ready to take his place." "What good am I doing?" "I'm sure the families of the victim appreciate your work, and the people of San Francisco." "All right, all right, Adrian." "Adrian." "I understand." " Now, you're feeling unfulfilled." " It's all the same." "Crime scene, witness, suspect, question, answer." "Okay, this-this is perfectly normal, Adrian." "No job can completely satisfy anyone."

"Here's we go." "Let's go." " I'm thinking yellow." " Yellow would be good." "It dripped." "Here, hold that." "Just grab the other side." "No, Mr. Monk, it's fine." "You've already thrown away three dropcloths." "It's supposed to be messy." "You know, it's part of the fun." " This was a bad idea." " No, it's not." "You're doing good."

"Never say that again." "This feels familiar." "Monk!" "Miss Teeger." "Welcome back." "But you never thought you'd see this place again." " It's like a bad dream." " It is, isn't it?" "The Body's over there." "I told them not to move the Body until you got here." " Where have you been?" " Art class." "Right, your hobby." "How's that going?" "Mr. Monk drew a beautiful landscape today." "Did he now?" "Did you put it up on the refrigerator, mommy?" "Well, the teacher said it was odious." "Odious." "That doesn't sound good." "I love it." "I think he has real talent." "I believe in him." "Oh, my god." "Natalie, you remember Bennie Wentworth." "Yeah, you can still smell the Whiskey." "Looks like he got plastered and walked into his own Booby Trap." "Surprised it didn't happen years ago." "Yeah, I know." "What are the odds, right?" "Same Junkyard, two victims, two nights running?" "This is wrong." "I don't think he died here." "It's 12 inches, right?" "Yeah." "The knife's 48 inches off the ground." "Right." "That's 54 inches." "It doesn't match." "He was stabbed somewhere else." "He was killed here." "Then moved over there to the Booby Trap to make it look like an accident." "Maybe the guy who drove off last night came back." "For what?" "What the hell are they after?" "I don't know." "There's something here." "Something worth dying for," " or killing for." " Here?" "Hey, what do you got?" "The log book." "Looks like everything..." "He picked up, and everything he sold." "Look." "The last page is missing." " Who found the Body?" " We got an anonymous call." "Figured it was, Hector, his assistant." " is he here?" " No, took off." "Probably got scared." "No green card." "Maybe he knows what's on that missing page." " Find him and bring an interpreter." " We don't need one." "I can do it." "You speak Spanish?" "Yeah." "I'm brushing up." "Trying to make Captain." " You any good?" " Yeah." "I'm bueno." "I'm mucho bueno." "I got a feeling about this and it ain't bueno." "Mr. Monk." "Yes?" "Adrian Monk, the Painter." " Yeah." " It is you." "What a great honor, sir." "Please, can I come in?" "Yes." "Please." "The smell of a genius." "This must be your studio?" "Not really a studio." "I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself." "Petya Lovak from Rostov, near Moscow." "You've been to Russia." "No, I don't travel much." "Axcept for up there, I presume." " You're an art dealer." " I'm not merely an art dealer." "I'm a connoisseur." "I am an enthusiast." "And each and every day, I look for new talent." "Today, I was at the college, and what did I see?" "I saw this fantastic landscape you have done." "Magnificent!" "It's a wonderful example of outsider art." "Outsider art?" "You see, every great moment in history like Cubism, surrealism, they all began as outsider art." "Is this some of your work?" "Do you mind if i," "Please?" "I love this." "Well..." "Yeah." "Actually..." "It's a banana." "It's a flat," " It's a flat banana." " Yes." "I had my assistant flatten it, straighten it." "A flat banana." "I get it." "I love it." "I want it." " You want to buy it?" " Yes, I give you $300 cash." "And I'll take it right away." " 300?" " Let's make it 500." "And this one too." " I must have this." " No no, that one doesn't count." "I messed it up." "That." "It's just a swoosh." "No." "Mr. Monk." "Let me tell you." "You say more with one swoosh than most artists say with a million swoosh." "Just look at this." "From a distance." "Eternity dives." "Brilliant!" "There!" "So..." "Can I propose to you..." "Thousand dollars..." "For both those pieces?" "Do we have a deal?" "I don't usually shake hands, but..." "I thank you." "Mr. Monk." "You are a true revelation." "And I would like the world to know it." "I don't know what to say." "Don't say anything." "Just paint, paint, paint!" "And when you can't paint anymore, just continue painting." "Es que usted tiene que creerme." "Yo no sé dónde esti." "Ya van como tres samanas que no lo he visto." "Tal vez se regres a México, no si." "She said, usted tiene." "But she never." "Creerme, it's..." " She said she hasn't seen him." " Just tell her he's not in trouble, we're not from the INS, we just want to talk to him." "Okay." "Usted es un marinero triste." "She's pretending she doesn't understand." "Hey, Hector." "Hector, it's Leland Stottlemeyer." "Come on out, son." "We're not from the INS." "Hector, we just want to find out what happened to Bennie." "No INS." "Ayudenos." "Ayudenos, ayudenos." "Hola." "Hey..." "Can you help us?" "Look." "The page is missing." "Can you help us find out what was on that page?" " Can you show us?" " Si." " Si." " Yes." "Yes." "Thank you, Randy." "Hello." " So how's it going?" " Hush a art." "Mr. Monk." "Where's all my stuff?" "Out back." "It was distracting me." " Well, what if it rains?" " Then your stuff will get wet." "Art requires a little sacrifice, Natalie." "Wait-my curtains?" "I took them down because I needed the light." "Eastern light." "C'est finis." "Take a look." "What do you think?" " Well, the Captain's gonna love it." " Why?" "Well, it." "It's him, right?" "No." "It's you!" "Me?" "!" "But, she." " I have a moustache." " It's a shadow." "Natalie." "This is my masterpiece." "Take it." "I want you to have it." "Wait." "Wait wait." "There." "Now Julie can go to college." "Mr. Monk, is." "Is that really how you see me?" "You're a beautiful woman." "Hey hey, Picasso!" " Hey!" " Look at you." "You're really into it." "I mean, you're really into it." "Who is that, Jimmy Buffet?" "No, that's Miss Piggy, right?" "Looks like he's eating something." " What's the." "What's that?" " It's me!" "And I love it." "Okay, you have to look at it with fresh eyes." "Fresh eyes?" "Like this?" "So you take it all in, all at once." "Try it." "Try it!" "Now you open your hands." "You have to open your hands." "Gimme a minute." "Okay, yeah, I see it now." "It's good." "Yeah, Monk, listen, we've got Hector Morales in the car." "We wanna drive him around." "Yeah, we're gonna retrace the route that Hector and Bennie took last week." "Yeah, it should only take a couple of days." " We figured you'd wanna come along." " I'll pass." "You'll pass?" "Yeah, I'm too busy." "I have big art show tomorrow at the college." "Monk!" "We've got two victims here, the case is fresh." " I think it's kind of a priority to." " This is kind of a priority to me." "No, it's not." "This is a hobby." "Not anymore." "It was a hobby when I started." "You mean thursday." "He sold two paintings." "Deux." "To who?" "Hello?" " I'm sorry, am I disturbing you?" " Mr. Lovak, come in." "You should put sign up, "genius at work."" "These are my friends." "Petya Lovak, Natalie Teeger." "Miss Teeger." "You must be his muse." "It would explain everything." "Leland Stottlemeyer and Randy Disher." "Petya Lovak." "Gentlemen." "I hope you're not here to outbid me." "Look at that." "Are these new?" "Mr. Monk." "It is as if art never existed before and you reinvented it." "Right." "I'll..." "Take both of them for..." "$1,200." " And I will hang them." " in my villa in Monte Carlo." "You're-you're gonna put them up where you live?" "I've never seen this." "How much is big woman?" "Sorry, that's not for sale." "I just gave it to Natalie as a gift." "No no no." "A..." "Thousand dollars." "Pardon me?" "I'm sorry, $2,000!" "I must have this painting." "I can't." "I'm sorry." "It was a gift, i'm sorry." "You have no idea how sorry..." "I really am." "You sure?" "Are you sure?" "Yeah, I'm sure." "Okay." "I'll give you my card just in case you change your mind." "Mr. Monk, would you please help me with the paintings to my van?" "Of course." "Would you hold that, please?" "Miss Teeger." "Until we meet again." "Gentlemen." "It was a pleasure." "Yeah." "Truly." "Is this real?" "What do you think?" "Adrian, we only have an hour." "Don't move." "It's almost done." "You know, while we have a moment, my assistant said that you did not bring a check today." "This should take care of it." "That oughta cover us till June." "Yes, well, thank you for this." "I, I hope you're not insulted, but I think I'd rather have the check." "Really?" "You know I could sell that piece tonight for $3,000." "And I-and I think that's great, i'm really proud of you, Adrian." "But, you know, when I suggested that you take up a hobby," " I never expected." " Me to succeed." "No, no, no." "That is not what I meant." "Trudy always said I had the soul of an artist." "And I agree with Trudy." "See, I always felt that your detective work was your art, the way you analyze a crime scene." "I did too, I did too." "But now, I've sold these paintings." "Something that I created is out there on somebody's wall being admired." "I'm invigor." "I feel invigorated." "I'm invigorated." "Who knows what else I can do?" "You sold five paintings?" "That's right." "That's right." "But all-all to the same man, this Mr. Lovak." "What-what do you know about him?" "He's from a little town called Rostov, which is near Moscow." "His family owns an oil refinery." "But petya is more interested in collecting fine art." "If you'd like to meet him..." "There's an exhibit at my art school this very afternoon." "Sorry, I, Maybe another time." "But you know what?" "Our time is up." "And I am afraid i'm going to have to ask you for that check." "Are you sure?" "El martes en la manana, paramos aqui." "Encontramos una mesa y tres sillas." "Las pusimos en El Carro." "Tuesday morning, he said he was here with Bennie," "They found a table and a delicious bamboo salad." "A bamboo salad." "I think he's hiding something too." "I think you're hiding something." "And where did you go- Where did he go next?" "Adonde." "Adonde, adonde usted." " Adonde usted." " Where do we go next?" "Adonde." "Can you show me?" " Si, vamos." " Okay." "God." "It's a very common name." "How are we doing?" "Look at them." "Sad, really." "Don't know who they're all trying to impress." "It's pathetic." "They're pathetic." "But we shouldn't laugh." "No, Mr. Monk, it's you, look at you." "Where did you get this?" "Oh, my gosh." "And a beret?" "Now-now it's crooked, I can feel it." "No, Mr. Monk, it's supposed to be crooked, here." " Stop it." "That goes this way." " Just a little." " Stop it, you're embarrassing me." " Just a little." "Petya must be running late." "Yeah, Mr. Monk," "I've been doing a little research on your friend Pety a I googled him." "At least I tried to, and there's no record of him anywhere." "Natalie, people like Petya." "Important people, wealthy people." "They are un-google-able." "No, Mr. Monk, it doesn't work like that." "It's not like an unlisted phone number." "Un-google-able!" "End of discussion." "Adrian Monk." "My star student." "Ms. Benson." "This is my friend, Natalie Teeger." "Natalie was very supportive of me when I was..." "Still struggling." "Before..." " I sold anything." " Yes, yes." "Well, we've all heard about your success." "It's the talk of the school." "It's." "Quite extraordinary, yes, I know." "Excuse me, here he is." "Petya!" "Petya." "I'm so glad you could make it." "Mr. Monk, I wouldn't have missed it for all the world." "I'm sure you don't remember." "The alluring Miss teeger." "Have you reconsidered your decision," "About selling your portrait?" " I'm afraid not." " What a pity!" "My collection of Monk will always be incomplete." "And this is my instructor, ms." "Benson." "You must be so proud of your disciple here." "I think astonished would be a more accurate word." "Thank you." "I know you came here to see Adrian, but there's so much interesting work being done at the school." "For example, over there." "And, well, look." "Here's one example." "This is mine." "I call it marriage." "No, no, I'm sorry, not even close." "The lines are all squiggly." "You have to make them straighter." "Try using a ruler." "A ruler?" "You told me you had two new paintings." "Well, on this side, right over here." " Stop!" " Snowman." "What is this?" "There's, like, tiny punctures here in the middle." "Yeah, I used a compass." "Yes." "Of course." "And I love it." "I must have it." "And I will take this too." "It's an egg in a nest." "Of course, it is an egg in a nest." "So, together... $4,000." " Okay." " Anything else?" " Yes, I have some sketches." " No no." "I'm more interested in your paintings." "That's where your genius lies." "I agree." "My van is outside, do you think someone can help me with the paintings?" "I'll do it." "Careful." "Careful." "I haven't given up on your portrait." "Art supplies." "My uncle died suddenly about three weeks ago." "Heart attack." "I've been cleaning out his house and I put a bunch of his stuff by the curb monday night." "What kind of art supplies?" "Some paints, a few blank canvases, and one of my uncle's paintings that he never finished." "Blank canvases." "Miss larson, can we take a look inside?" "Thank you." "Over here." "Careful." "I'll take it from here." "Thank you." " Are-are those all my..." "Paintings?" " I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." "I have one more stop, and then i'm heading for the airport." "You're leaving, really?" " Please" " Maybe," "Maybe we should wrap them up." "You know." "I could find a sheet." " They'll be fine." "Don't worry about it." " Good-bye." "Good-bye, good-bye." " I'm saying good-bye to my paintings." " Seriously Mr. Monk hurry." "When you Hang them, make sure they're straight." "Use a level." "Yes, yes." "Sorry." "Das Vidhanya." "Was your uncle a professional painter?" "No, it was just a hobby." "He took it up late in life just a few years ago." "Was he any good?" "I didn't think so, to be honest." "But he did sell a lot of his paintings." "To a collector from Russia." "From Russia?" "Do you remember his name?" "I never met him." "But I think he bought all of them." "Except for the last one." "The one uncle Scott was working on when he died." "That's the one you put out by the curb." " Is this your uncle?" " Yeah." "What does he have to do with carson paper?" "He worked there for 30 years." "What's Carson paper?" "Carson paper has a contract with the US Treasury." "They make Money." "Or at least the paper it's printed on." "Adrian!" "Congratulations." "I must be honest." "At first, I didn't appreciate your style but I see it now." "You are deconstructing the aesthetic orthodoxy that most artists, myself included." " Where's Natalie?" " She went home." "She took her portrait with her, which I love, by the way." "Just took me a while to get it." "Are you all right?" "There was another painting in that van." "I've seen it somewhere before." "In the Junkyard." "It was there..." "On thursday, and the next day, it was gone." "God." "These are awful." "Monk." " I'm terrible." " Adrian monk." "Monk." "Where's your friend, the Russian?" "What, what." "He just left." "What's going on?" "I just spoke with the secret service." "Lovak is with the Russian mob." "They've been counterfeiting US Currency using real paper." "Yeah, a guy named Scott Larson." "He used to work at the US Mint." "He's been smuggling paper out of the factory for years." "Guess how they're getting it past customs." "Canvases?" "And they're not real canvases." "It's eight or nine layers of Currency paper." "Larson used acrylic paint, which peels right off." "They were worth a fortune." "So, it was all about the Canvases?" "He didn't care what was on them." "I knew it had to be something." "He really does suck!" " Monk, did he take all the Canvases?" " Except for one." "Natalie." "Miss Teeger." "Mr. Lovak, I already told you." "I'm not interested." "You know what I like about you?" "You are a tough cookie." "My final offer." "An additional thousand dollars." "All together, 3,500." "What do you say?" "Look, I can't." "It was a gift from my boss." "I can't." "Well, obviously, you don't care about it." "You have it hiding in the corner behind a big bush." "I understand, you're embarrassed about it." "Right?" "So let me help you take it off of your shoulders." "Look, I can't." "It would hurt his feelings." "Look here, Miss Teeger." "I'm going to take that painting..." "Whether you sell it to me or not." "You really like it." "I hate it." "It is an abomination." "It's horrible." "Nonetheless," "I'm gonna leave with that painting." "And you're gonna stand there very still." "Petya Lovak!" "I know you're in there!" "Monk!" "You can't come in here." "I've got your little friend." "I've got something of yours too." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "It's all over, Petya!" "Let her go!" "No no!" "Those are." "Those are your own paintings." "You wouldn't do that." " You're an artist." " Too late." "I stink and I know it." "No no no no!" "No!" "What are you doing?" "No!" "You're crazy!" "They are worth a fortune!" "No!" "Get him, Captain." "Get him down!" "Give me your hands!" "Gimme the hands!" "Come on." "Petya Lovak, you are under arrest for capital murder, conspiracy to counterfeit." "Hope you got a good lawyer." "Alright, see you shortly." "Nathalie, what are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "!" "It's evidence!" "Secret Service are on their way." "It's the only painting we have left." " It's gonna be exibit A." " Exibit A?" "Yeah." "It's big news, Nathalie." "It's gonna be one of the famous painting in the world." "You're right." "You're right, I am sorry." " Burn it!" "Burn it!" " Give me that!" " Grab that painting." " Burn it!" "Who is the first victim?" "The guy in the Junkyard." "A russian goom named Kenni Stasia, he's one of Petya's lap dogs" "He was trying to steal the Canvases?" "Your friend Patrick came back the following night, but it was too late." "You already had the canvases and you were already painting." " And all that money he gave me?" " Conterfeit." "We're gonna need it back." "What was I thinking?" "I'm no artist." "You're no artist?" "Adrian Monk, you're a grand master." "Leonardo de Vinci, or..." " Pablo Picaso." " Just not with a paint brush." "Not with a paint brush, that's for damn sure" "Hey, how about stamp collector?" "That's a nice hoby." "You get a little book, you put on the stamps in there, you line them all up." " Could arrange them by color it close." " Yes, you could." "You could arrange them any way you'd like." "It's a hobby, after all." " They're all the same size?" " If that's important to you, yes."
