"J-Just relax." " Vic.!" "What did you do?" " No choice." "Him or me." " We could have just driven off." "Get in the car." " I didn't see anything!" " Don't move the car." "I'm not done."

"If I stepped in it, I'd be in that ambulance right now... on my way to the emergency room, wouldn't I?" "Praying for the sweet release that only death can bring." "So, Monk, what do you think?" "Who are we looking for?" "Ah, I'd say it's a terrier, a Yorkie, maybe a chihuahua." "Probably miles away by now." "We'll never catch him."

"Marty Eels." "He's a private investigator." "Nickel-and-dime stuff." "Divorces, insurance fraud." "He's a professional pain in the ass." "Hey, Captain." "Captain, you're lookin' great." "You're losin' weight or your shirts are getting bigger." "Marty." "I heard the D.A. Pulled your license." "No, no, no." "That was just a temporary suspension." "No, no, no." "That was just a little misunderstanding." "A misunderstanding?" "That's all ancient history anyway." "So I was just riding around in the neighborhood, and I heard a call go out on the police scanner" " Look, Marty." "I'm busy." "Yeah, that's why I thought I'd come down here and lend a hand." "So what do we got?" "The jewelry store was robbed, huh?" "Well, that's obvious." "We got a- a dead rent-a-cop and a missing store manager, so let me guess." "You're thinking the store manager doing it" " Yeah." "Something like that." "Yeah, so let me look around, huh?" "An extra pair of eyes can't hurt." "And who knows, I could see something you guys are missing." "We're not missing anything, Mr. Eels." "We've got a C.S.I. Team here." "And, uh, see that man over there?" "It's Adrian Monk." "I think we're in pretty good hands." "Captain." "Monk says I can't just throw this away." "I gotta take it like a mile away and bury it." "Could I see that?" "Yeah." "You can't throw this away." "This-This is evidence." "[Sniffs]" "[Clears Throat] This is fresh." "Mmm!" "I'd say this is less than 90 minutes old." "Marty- But isn't that when you said all this was probably going down?" "The dog could've belonged to the victim... or to one of the perps." "I think this is important." "Monk was gonna throw this away." "Um" "You know, he might be right." "Let's, uh, book that into evidence." "Yes, sir." "Captain." "Look." "Did that store manager live in Oakland?" "Yeah." "How'd you know that?" "That's his dog." "That's from Oakland." "You can see the blue license on its collar." "What, you can see that from here?" "[Chuckles]" "Little something I call attention to detail, but- [Laughs]" "Go get the dog." "Adrian Monk, Natalie Teeger." "This is Marty Eels." "He's a private investigator." "Hey, how you doing?" "How you doing?" "I hear good things." "Good things. [Snaps Fingers]" "Don't worry." "I'm not competition." "I'm just here to help." "Can I have one of those?" "So, what do we got?" "Captain, I don't think the manager did this." "For one thing, he didn't lock the door behind him." "Plus, I noticed some more blood by the curb." "I think there was a second shooting." "Yeah, he could be right." "Very good." "Nicely done." "Nicely done." "Captain.!" "He's right." "Peggy belongs to the store manager," "Harold Gumbal, Geary Street, Oakland." "Hmm." "You know, if the manager was robbing his own store, he wouldn't bring his dog along." "Or leave him behind." "No, the manager is not the guy." "No, that's right." "The manager is not the guy." "Here's what- Here's what happened!" "Here's what happened!" "This dog was a hostage." "The manager was being forced to rob his store." "Something went wrong, and they shot the guard." "Excuse me." "What the hell is he doing?" "Captain- Well, he did spot the dog's license from a block away." "Okay." "They drove off in Gumbal's car." "They headed south." "They're gonna dump it as soon as they can." "We're already checking the airport." "That's a waste of time." "They would never go there." "There's too much security." " Try the train station." " Train station." "Yeah." "Try, um, San Bruno... or Millbrae." "They probably panicked when they shot the guard." "Maybe they dropped the gun or some bloody clothes somewhere nearby." "[Sniffs] What are you doing there?" "What" "[Sniffing]" "This dog has been sniffing around a sewer recently." "See these sewer grates around here?" "The perps might have stuffed something down in there, and maybe this dog saw them do it." "You gotta be kidding." "He's kidding, right?" "He's joking." "The man is joking." "Just take two minutes to check it." "[Stottlemeyer] Officer, take a look in that sewer grate." "Captain." "From smelling a dog, that's impossible." "Captain!" "There was stuff down the drain just like he said." "[Whimpering]" "No." "No, Mom." "I wasn't on the news." "Because there were no reporters there yet." "[Buzzer] Mm-hmm." "I found a lot of clues." "I found three or four big clues." "Cap" " Captain was very impressed with me." "He" " He just walked in." "He'll tell ya." "One second." "Captain, it's my mother." "Tell her-Tell her how good I was on the crime scene." "Uh, Mrs. Eels?" "Hi." "Uh, yeah." "Marty did great." "You'd be very proud of him." "He's a first-rate detective." "I look forward to meeting you, too, ma'am." "Okay." "Bye-bye." "Uh, what were those beeps?" "Oh, she was at work." "She works for Pacific Global Airlines." "She's a" " She's a quality control operator." "Come in." "Come" " Come on in." "Sit down." "Sit down." "Here, Natalie." "Come sit down." "Come sit down." "Make yourself at home." " Monk, sit." "Sit anywhere." " That's okay." "I'm not fine." "Did he just say he's not fine?" "Yeah." "So, Captain, am I on the case, or what?" " First I have to ask you a couple of questions." " Yeah." "Yeah." "Where were you yesterday morning at 8:00?" "You mean when the robbery was happening?" "Yeah." "You guys think I had something to do with that?" "Why, because you can't keep up with me on a crime scene?" "[Stottlemeyer] Where were you, Marty?" "I was at the hospital." "St. Andrews." " They thought I had a concussion." " What happened?" "Well- [Chuckles] That's kind of embarrassing." "I, um" " I got hit very hard by a client." "Hit me very hard." "Yeah." "Um" "I was, um, supposed to follow his wife and take pictures." "Whoa." "She was cheating on him." "No." "No." "That" " That's him." "That's my client." "You burst in to take a picture of a man in bed with his own wife?" "Yes, I did." "I made a mistake." "I'm human." "So, the bottom line is I was at the hospital when the jewelry thing was happening." " You can call them." " We will." "Why is it so hard for you guys to believe that I'm just this good?" "Because, Marty, you were never this good before." "In fact, you sort of sucked." "Well, I was- I been teaching myself." "I been" " I learned how to focus." "And that's really the secret, focus." "Am I right about the focus thing?" "Bay Area Center Continuing Education." "Is that a correspondence school?" "It's fully accredited." "What school did you go to?" "Berkeley." "That's a good school." "I believe they're fully accredited too." "Yeah." "Yeah, they're fully accredited." "So, Captain, am I on the case or what?" "I mean, put- put me in, Coach!" "I found" " I found the ski masks, didn't I?" "Look, Marty, even if I wanted to," "I just don't have the budget to hire two consultants." "[Stammering] I tell you what." "I tell you what." "You don't have to pay me dime one unless I get some results." "So this costs you nothing." "Captain, could I" "You can't hire this guy." "He did find the ski masks." "By smelling a dog." "It's not possible." "Look, Monk, sometimes when you're picking up clues, it seems like magic to me." "I don't know how you do it." "[Cell Phone Rings] Maybe he's doing something that you don't understand." "I think he's cheating." "He's a cheater." " Disher." " This isn't the fourth grade, Monk." "He's cheating!" "How?" "How?" "I don't know." "We just found the store manager's car." "Guess where it was." " Your train station?" " In San Bruno." "Outstanding." "You called it, Marty." "[Stottlemeyer] Let's check it out." "Marty, come here." "You ride with me." "[Chattering]" "He's cheating." "'Scuse me. 'Scuse me." "Uh, go ahead." "No, no." "After you." "Please." "It's pretty weird, huh?" "Maybe we should send one of them home." "Yeah, but which one?" "Marty Eels." "E" " E-L-S, like the fish." "He's always wanted to be a detective." "He used to stay up late reading Hardy Boys stories under the cover." "So your son is helping Adrian Monk?" "Who's helping who?" "That's the question." "I love that." "Love the thing you do with your hands." "It's very old-school." "Thank you." "[Sighs]" "[Sniffs]" "Wha-What are you doing?" "Mud." "You can tell where the car has been." "From tasting it?" "He's tasting the mud." "Does that work?" "No!" "It's just nuts!" "Captain, how tall was the store manager?" "Uh- Uh, 5'10", according to his driver's licence." "Hmm." "Somebody else was driving this car, because that chair's been adjusted for somebody 5'11 "." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "It's impossible to know that." "Seat adjustments are not that exact." "Should I write down 5'11 "?" "Uh- I don't know." "Yes." "In pencil." "Ah." "[Clears Throat] Here we go." "This map was used recently." "That means that the driver was not familiar with this particular area." "L- l" " I had that one." "You didn't say anything." "I was waiting my turn." "I had that one." "Captain" "He's cheating." "He's a cheater." "He saw me looking." "And... this car was driven on Highway 47." "And... how do you happen to know that?" "It's all in the details, Captain." "See the, um- the dead bugs on the windshield?" "This... is a gray bantam-wing mosquito, which are most common where?" "Anybody?" "Walter Creek reservoir." "In Livingston." "Highway 47." "That's fantastic." "[Laughing] Bantam-wing mosquito." "Gentlemen, let's pop the trunk." "Monk." "This blood is still fresh." "Yes, it is." "Good for you." "Write that down." "One for Monk. [Chuckles]" "All right." "Gumbal was dragged out of the car... and into these woods." "Okeydoke." "Here we go." "[Chattering]" "These leaves were recently crushed." "I'm 1%16th Cherokee." "Cool." "Thought he might be." "Now what's he doing?" "I can't look." "Oh, he's using a divining rod." "The Indians used to use them." "He's 1%16th Cherokee." "Oh, that's my boy." "Can everybody see okay?" "Take lots of pictures." "Film is cheap." "[Grunts]" "[Murmuring]" "Think I found the store manager." " [Clamoring] - [Stottlemeyer] Stay back!" "Get outta here!" "[Disher] Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Back off." "Back off." "[Stottlemeyer] He was shot in the chest." "Call the coroner's office." "Get the crime scene guys up here." "And get me a 20-foot perimeter now!" "Let's go!" "You heard the man." "Take 10 steps back!" "Let's go!" "Get out of here!" "Baker, come on!" "Move these guys down." "That's interesting." "What?" "You don't see that?" "Look at his arms." "That is an unnatural position." "Unnatural?" "I think he was trying to tell us something." "With his dying breath, he was trying to send us a message." "[Monk] With his dying breath." "He was trying to tell us the name of the man who killed him." "Look." "See, he's pointing to his watch." "No, he's not." "Captain, are there any perps who'd do a job like this by the name of..." "Casio?" "Casio?" "Lefty." "Captain." " Dial." " Eddie Dial." "Hejust did seven years in Folsom for kidnapping and bank robbery." "He just made parole." "Well, let's check him out." "Yes, sir." "Baker!" "Johnson!" "Mom, have you seen my camera?" "Mm-mmm." "Did you check your jacket?" "What about your pockets?" "Yes, I looked everywhere." "I haven't seen it, honey." "Why don't you ask Mr. Monk to help you?" "Please, Mr. Monk." "It has all my pictures in it from my school trip." "I was the official photographer and if I lose it, I'm going to get an incomplete." "When did you see it last?" "I saw it yesterday in the living room." "That plant has been moved recently." "That's right." "How did you know?" "Well, normally, they lean toward the sun." "This one is leaning the other way." "Hello." "Mr. Monk, thank you so much." "You're the best." "Isn't he the best?" "There's no one better." "You really are amazing." "[Monk] Oh." "Wait." "When did you water this?" "Oh, uh, this morning." "Well, the camera could not have been back there this morning." "It would have gotten wet." "Thanks for trying, Julie." "My mom put me up to this." "Mr. Monk, you really are amazing." "You're probably the best in the world." "[Cell Phone Rings]" "And you're right about this Marty character." "He's cheating." "I don't know." "He is." "Hello?" "Yes, sir." "Really?" "Okay, okay." "We're on our way." "They just caught one of the killers." "They're questioning him now." "Julie, we'll be back soon, honey." "Natalie." "It's not Eddie Dial, is it?" "Yeah." "[Stottlemeyer] We found the manager's wallet... in your motel room, Eddie." "It's over." "We own you." "Look, man, I didn't hurt anybody, okay?" "I didn't even have a gun." "Well, two people are dead, Edward." "Who did the shooting?" "I'm willing to bet you it was that guy." "Blanchard, Victor P." "The two of you were seen together last weekend." "Where is he, Eddie?" "I don't know!" "Captain." "May I?" "Where's your- Where's your partner, Eddie?" "I don't know." "Hmm." "He's telling the truth." "He" " He doesn't know." " Do you have a map?" " He's like a human lie detector." "I can't believe it." "I can't believe it either." "Well, he's doing it." "Well, I still don't believe it." "What you see happening in the next room, it's impossible." "It's just" "What-What's this?" "Stuff we found in Eddie's motel room, including a pair of tickets to Costa Rica." "[Natalie] Did you guys find thejewels?" "No, not yet." "Marty'll find them." "All righty." "Now then, Eddie, where did you hide the jewels?" "Was it-Was it here?" "No." "Um..." "Was it here?" "No." "Uh, how about here?" "Ah." "Getting warmer." "Did you hide them here, Eddie?" "Ah." "Yes." "They're, uh- They're in the state park." "Get outta here." "I know this area." "There's a water tower right here." "Oh." "Oh." "Did you, uh" " Did you hide them near the water tower, Eddie?" "Hmm!" "Bingo!" "Yes!" "[Marty Chuckles]" "Call Dunlop in the Parks Department." "Tell him to meet us there." "And tell him to bring some shovels." "Sir." "I don't know how the hell I'm gonna write this up." "Marty." "Oh, Mr. Monk." "Why don't you guys go ahead." "I'll meet you there." "This is District." "Give me two black-and-whites down at the state park right now." "He's cheating!" "What, Monk?" "How is he cheating?" "We've got a suspect who just confessed." "He found the car." "He found the body." "He is solving this case single-handedly." "By cheating!" "Natalie, what do you think?" "I believe my boss." "[Exhales] Anyway, we'd better go." "Should we take one car or two?" "Monk, why don't you stay here?" "We're gonna let Marty take this one." "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "You're firing him?" "No!" "No." "Um, it's just that Marty seems to be in a zone." "He's got a handle on this one." "You get the next one, okay?" "I'll call you." "I gotta go." "[Dr. Kroger] So they found thejewels." "Right where Marty said they'd be." "Of course." "And what, then they- They asked you to step aside?" "They said Marty was on a roll." "Guess they didn't want me to cramp his style." "Well, A-Adrian, l-I'm sure that this is all just temporary." "Maybe he really is better than me." "Yeah, well, would that be so terrible?" "I mean, if you weren't number one." "An ex-cop I know... teaches criminal justice at Fulton College." "He offered me a job last year." "Maybe I'll give him a call." "All right." "So you're just giving up." "Okay." "No, Adrian, I'm not suggesting that you just give up." "I'm saying to you that there is always someone ahead of you." "This is the human condition." "For instance, there's a new psychiatrist here in town, name of Lowenstern." "Now, I know that there is no way that I will ever be as-as-well, as good as he is." "I know this." "I accept it." "He's better than you?" "He's brilliant." "Nominated for a Nobel Prize." "But the point is you think that you might enjoy teaching." "I don't know." "Tell-Tell me more about this Lowenstern." "Lowenstern." "I could introduce you." "Office is right across the street." "He charges $400 an hour." "So wh-where were we?" "Mmm." "Okay." "Oh." "Good morning, boss." "They were out of the round sponges." "Don't panic." "I'll pick some up on the way home." "Don't worry about the groceries." "You're driving me to Fulton College." "I have an appointment." "You mean now?" "11:00." "I'm meeting the dean." "You're just gonna quit, just like that?" "I think I would make a very good teacher." "Oh, Mr. Monk, you'd make a terrible teacher!" "It would take you four weeks to correct one paper." "You're a detective." "You're a great detective." " Are you gonna drive me or not?" " No." "No, I'm not." "Your feelings are hurt, and you're just not thinking straight." "Fine." "Fine." "I'll take a taxi." "[Chuckles] You're gonna take a taxi." "Do you know what people do in taxis?" "Fine!" "Fine." "I will drive myself." "I'll rent a car." "See?" "I am dialing the number. [Beeping]" "I'm not bluffing." "Do you even have a driver's license?" "Yes, I have a license." "Okay, this is it." "This is the last digit." "I have dialed the number." "It is ringing." "[Recording] Thank you for calling Cannon Rent-a-Car." "This call may be monitored for quality purposes." " I am on hold." " Mr. Monk" "Fulton College is 100 miles away." "It is up the interstate." "It's over a bridge." "You know, I have a blindfold for going over bridges." "But you'll be driving." "Good point." "I think I can make it." "I'll just sort of peek underneath." "I'm not gonna let you drive." "You've never driven over a bridge in your life." "What choice do I have?" "[Woman On Phone] Excuse me." "Excuse me, sir." "Yes?" "My daughter goes to Fulton College." "You don't have to take the bridge." "You can take the causeway all the way up." "You... could hear us?" "Yes, sir." "I'm a quality control operator." "I'm monitoring the call." "L" " I was on hold." "Yes, sir." "We start listening as soon as you're connected." "You wouldn't believe the things I hear." "[Laughs] People fooling around." "People arguing." "I could write a book about it." "You could hear me... while I was on hold?" "That's right." "## [Pop] [Camera Shutter Clicking]" "Hey!" "Monk!" "What a nice surprise." "This guy's from San Francisco magazine." "I'm one of the 10 most eligible bachelors in the city." "Can you believe it?" " Marty, we need to talk." " Not a good time, Nat." "Did you just call me Nat?" "Hey, hey, get one with me and Monk." "No." "No, no, this is good." "It's like a summit of great minds." "Philip Marlowe meets Sherlock Holmes." "It's about your mother, a little something she might have overheard while at work." "## [Continues]" "Can't-The music's too loud." "I can't hear." "Take a five." "Take a five." "## [Stops] [Natalie] We know how you did it, Marty." " We figured it out." " How I did what?" "Didn't your mother ever tell you that cheaters never win?" "Actually, it was your mother's idea." "She works for Pacific Global Airlines, doesn't she, in the quality control department?" "Yeah, so?" "[Woman On Phone] This call may be monitored for quality purposes." "[Monk] Here's what happened." "After the murders, Blanchard and Dial went back to their motel room, counted theirjewels, and then they called the airlines to buy plane tickets to Costa Rica." "They were put on hold." "What they didn't know was that your mother... was already on the line monitoring their call." "They must have been on hold for quite a while, because they talked about everything- who they killed, where they dumped the car, even where they hid the masks." "[Natalie] But she didn't call the police." "She called you and told you everything you needed to know to solve the case." "Or at least pretend to solve it." "You're a very smart man." "Yeah." "He's the real thing." "Yep." "Course, you realize you have no proof for any of this." "Don't airlines record phone conversations?" "Yes, Nat." "I believe they do." "Yes, they certainly do." "But those conversations... have a way of being accidentally erased." "So it's really your word against mine." "And who do you think everyone's gonna believe?" "The amazing Marty Eels or, uh... yesterday's news?" " [Telephone Ringing] - [Slurps]" "[Scoffs] Phone's been ringin' off the hook." "Cases, cases, cases." "[Chuckles]" " Would you mind?" " [Ringing Continues]" "Ah" "[Ringing Continues]" "Hey." "Eels Investigations." "[Man] Hey, Marty." "I got a proposition for you." "Who's this?" "My name's Vic." "We never met." "I think you know my partner, though, Eddie Dial." "In fact, you and your friends arrested him yesterday." "How did you get this number?" "This is my private line." "It's the first number on your mother's speed dial." "My mother?" "Did you really think you could screw with me and get away with it?" "Where is she?" "I just left her." "She's fine." "For now." "If you want to see her again, listen carefully." " The jewels belong to me." "I want them back." " The jewels?" "Bring them to the Dunn Street bus terminal by 8:00." "Put them in locker 240 on the upper level." "I got a spare key." "Wait a minute!" "Wait, wait, wait!" "I can't get to the jewels." "They're locked up." "They're in evidence." "You can do it, Marty." "I been reading all about you." "You're the flavor of the month." "Just tell them you want to examine the evidence." "Tell them you want to use it to set a trap." "I don't care what you tell them." "Just get 'em back." "Oh, and Marty." "What?" "No cops." "Come alone." "Remember, if anything happens to me, your mother's dead by 8:20." " Wait!" " [Dial Tone]" "Mr. Monk.!" "Mr. Monk, wait!" "Wait, Mr. Monk!" "[Car Horn Honks] Mr. Monk, wait!" "Wait, wait." "It's Vic Blanchard." " He just called." "He's got my mother." " I gotta call the captain." "No, no!" "No!" "No cops!" "He said no cops, or he'd kill her." "Mr. Monk, please." "You gotta help me." "You were right." "I don't know what I'm doing!" "I don't." "Let's go." "Let's just go over this one more time." "Can you think of anything else he might have said on the phone?" "[Stammering] No cops!" "[Groans] He said ifhe even smells a cop, she's dead." "My gosh." "Marty, for the 10th time, no one's calling the cops!" "She's right." "Marty, look." "We know where he's gonna be at 8:00." "If we can find your mother before that time, the cops can pick him up then." " I know." "I know." "L" " Ah!" "Natalie." "I got it." "I'm on it!" "It's all over the top." "Marty, can you just please sit on the couch, all right?" "You're making Mr. Monk very nervous." "All right, one more time." "The kidnapper said he'd just left her, right?" "So she can't be too far from where he made that phone call." "Do you remember anything else about the phone call?" " Like what?" " Like wh" " Like anything." "Noises in the background." " I don't know!" " He doesn't know." "This wasn't even my idea." "My mother made me do this." "She forced me into it." "She said it was the only way a loser like me... was ever gonna be able to solve a real crime." "She sounds delightful." "That's my mother." "Where do you get off talking about somebody's mother?" "Okay, Marty- What's wrong with you?" "Marty, Marty, Marty." "Concentrate." "Can you please just try to think?" "You must have heard something." "Yeah." "Uh" "An ocean." "He" " I think he was near an ocean." " There you go." "And there was, um..." "a ringing like- like a clang." "Clang." "With a sound before it." "Um" "It was like a thud... clang." "Thud!" "Clang!" "Okay." "Give me a minute." "Thud, clang!" "Yeah, Marty." "I got it." "Thud, clang." "Let me think." "[Thud] [Bell Rings]" "Thud, clang." "[Monk] Okay." "Oh, my God, she's here!" "She's here, she's here!" "Mom." "Mom!" "No, Marty, don't- Don't get separated!" "Mom!" "Stay with the group!" "Marty, I want you to focus." "Can you focus?"
