"I've acquired a target, sir. 5,200 yards." "Bearing?" "0-3-5 relative." "Depth?" "450 feet, sir." "Helm, steer 0-9-5." "Fifteen degrees down bubble." "WEPS, get me a firing solution." "Did you find him?" "No, sir." "You can't find the second-in-command?" "How far can he be?" "We're on a submarine." "I just tried his cabin." "The door's locked." "Chief?" "Take the Conn." "Skipper's off the Conn." "Cobb has the Conn." "Lieutenant Pierce?" "It's Captain Whitaker." "Are you all right?" "Lieutenant." "He's dead." "It's a jungle out there" "Disorder and confusion everywhere" "No one seems to care" "Well, I do" "Hey, who's in charge here?" "It's a jungle out there" "Poison in the very air we breathe" "You know what's in the water that you drink?" "Well, I do" "It's amazing" "People think I'm crazy 'cause I worry all the time" "If you paid attention, you'd be worried, too" "You better pay attention" "Or this world we love so much might just kill you" "I could be wrong now" "But I don't think so" "'Cause there's a jungle out there" "It's a jungle out there" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God!" "I was afraid you wouldn't remember me." "I don't." "I just love a man in uniform." "Steven Albright, you look great." "You look better than great." "Well, here." "Come in." "Come in." "Gosh." "How long has it been?" "Like, nine years." "Nine and a half." "Since the memorial service." "Yeah." "This can't be Julie." "God, she's beautiful." "Yeah, she is beautiful." "A little too beautiful." "Is she here?" "No, she's with my mom for two weeks." "Camp Grandma." "It really is great to see you." "Yeah." "I didn't expect..." "I mean..." "Oh, this is my boss." "This is Adrian Monk." "Mr. Monk, this is Steve Albright." "Lieutenant Albright." "He was one of Mitch's oldest friends." "Hello." "Actually, Mr. Monk, you're..." "You're the real reason I'm here." "Oh, yeah?" "I've heard a lot about you." "I've got a problem." "Here, sit down." "I don't know how to begin." "I've never actually spoken to a detective before." "Oh, you can speak to Mr. Monk the same way you speak to a normal person." "A close friend of mine, Jason Pierce, died last week." "I'm sorry." "He was the XO, the second-in-command on our boat." "They said he committed suicide." "They said he'd been drinking." "They found a bottle of vodka in his cabin, and there was alcohol in his blood." "But you don't believe it." "No, sir, I don't." "Jason had been sober for nine years." "He had a physical three weeks ago, which I administered." "I'm the ship's medical officer." "There was no alcohol in his blood." "Well, people do have relapses, you know." "They fall off the wagon." "Not Jason." "I don't believe it." "Sorry." "Go on." "There was one other thing." "I saw him the night before." "We made plans to go to a Giants game while we were here." "He seemed fine." "I assume there was an investigation." "Yes, of course." "NCIS ruled it a suicide." "Mr. Monk, I know you're a busy man." "We're only in port for one day." "I wonder if you could come down to the boat and take a look around." "I just..." "I want to know if I'm crazy." "Of course, we can." "I'll get my purse." "You mean now?" "Today?" "I can't today." "Why not?" "Here's the thing." "It's a boat." "And I really don't do boats." "Mr. Monk, I've been on these boats." "These boats are so big, they don't even feel like boats." "They're like islands." "You've been on islands before, right?" "You like islands." "No." "It's like Hawaii." "Think of it like that." "We're going to Hawaii." "I believe you are the devil." "Nice belt." "Oh, thanks." "Julie made it for Mother's Day." "It's supposed to be good luck." "Nobody's shaking hands." "Everybody's saluting." "Maybe I should enlist." "No, Mr. Monk." "Please don't enlist." "Don't even joke about it." "Why not?" "Because I love America." "Here she is." "My God!" "Where's the rest of her?" "That's it." "Is she sinking?" "No, sir." "That's the U.S.S. Seattle." "She's a class four submarine." "Ah!" "Are you okay?" "A submarine?" "You said boat." "You distinctly said boat." "Natalie, you were there." "We call her a boat." "It's not a boat." "It's the opposite of a boat." "Are you familiar with the word "float"?" "Mr. Monk, we're already here." "How about this?" "Three minutes." "We just go onboard, and look around." "What could happen in three minutes?" "Asphyxiation, cerebral hypoxia, gas embolism, Epstein-Barr..." "You know more about this stuff than I do." "Why can't I do it from here?" "I'll just look in a window." "No, Mr. Monk." "It's a submarine." "There are no windows." "Please." "I'm saying "please. "" "He's Mitch's oldest friend." "Three minutes." "Three minutes, 180 seconds." "On and off, I promise." "Do you have a stopwatch?" "Yes, sir." "You've got it." "Just two more steps." "There you go." "Sir, you don't have to hold your breath." "There's plenty of air." "How much time?" "Fifteen seconds." "I'm pretty sure he killed himself." "How do you know?" "I've been onboard 15 seconds, and I'm suicidal." "It's down here." "How much time?" "Thirty-five seconds." "Mr. Monk, be brave." "Why?" "What's in it for me?" "It happened in here." "This is just how we found it." "They still haven't fixed the lock." "You're not even looking." "Yes, I am." "I'm squinting, so I can see better." "Mr. Monk." "Okay." "All right." "Commander Whitaker had called a surprise drill." "The XO didn't report." "The Commander and I came down here to find him." "When we got here, we heard a gunshot." "A gunshot." "From inside the room." "The locked room." "Yes, sir." "Commander Whitaker kicked down the door." "Jason was over there on the floor." "Well, where were the keys to the cabin?" "In his pocket." "And who else had a copy?" "No one." "Okay." "Look, I'm sorry, Lieutenant." "I really..." "I really am." "But I just don't see anything here that would suggest..." "Tweezers." "What?" "Tweezers." "What is that?" "Plastic." "It looks like it has some adhesive on it." "Maybe from duct tape." "Gun powder." "What does it mean?" "I don't know." "Probably nothing." "Sailor!" "What's going on?" "We're shipping out." "3" " Y-A-S-W." "It's a drill." "An emergency exercise." "He said we're shipping out?" "Deck is clear." "Secure the hatch." "Hatch secure, aye." "Submerge the boat." "Depth 2-5-0 feet." "2-5-0 feet." "Aye, aye, sir." "Chief of the Watch on the 1-MC." "Dive." "For the love of God!" "Where's the exit?" "Open the hatch!" "That's an order!" "I don't think so!" "Sir!" "Sir!" "We're underwater, sir." "It's too late." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Okay." "Okay." "Sir, get down!" "Sir!" "Come on, relax." "Helm, steer 0-5-0." "Five degrees down bubble." "Helm, 0-9-0." "Five degrees down bubble." "Identify yourself." "Me?" "Me?" "I'm..." "Oh, God." "Ad..." "I know." "Adrian Monk." "And this is Natalie Teeger, my former assistant." "Hello." "Lieutenant, what the hell is going on here?" "That's an excellent question." "Sir, as I mentioned, I had some questions about Lieutenant Commander Pierce's death." "Mr. Monk is a highly decorated detective." "I thought while we were here in San Francisco, that I'd..." "Commander, Sir." "May I say something?" "No." "You may not." "What the hell are they doing on my ship?" "In the middle of a fleet-wide exercise?" "I had that same question." "I wanted them to see the crime scene, sir." "There isn't a crime scene, Lieutenant." "I sent you a copy of the NCIS report." "Apparently, you haven't had a chance to read it." "Excuse me, Commander." "Sir." "Yes?" "You're obviously very busy, turning knobs and up periscoping..." "Why don't you just drop us off?" "And we'll be out of your hair." "How about right there?" "Seal Beach?" "Right there?" "I don't know." "We could take a taxi." "No, actually." "Fisherman's Wharf is a little bit closer." "If it's not out of your way." "What if we turned back around this way?" "We are not turning around for anything." "This is a fleet-wide attack submarine warfare exercise." "For all intents and purposes, this ship is at war." "Do you understand that?" "Oh, yeah." "Okay." "Right." "Yes." "I get it." "How much do you want?" "She'll pay." "'Cause her father is loaded." "You've heard of Davenport Toothpaste?" "That's the one with the girl who..." "I've finished talking!" "You are now the guests of the United States Navy until the completion of this exercise." "Thank you." "Four, maybe five days." "Days?" "Coming about!" "Blinker, blinker!" "What's he doing?" "Coming about!" "Blinker, blinker." "That's the sonar." "You're turning the sonar tower." "Okay, okay." "I didn't want to bring this up." "But I am a taxpayer." "And that means that you, sir, work for me." "And I am ordering you to turn around and take us home!" "Okay, I'm not ordering." "I'm asking." "Please." "Please." "You don't know him, sir." "He can't handle this." "Confined quarters like this?" "Underwater?" "He's going to crack any second." "I'm surprised he's even hanging on a little bit." "Lieutenant, why don't you take your friends to the officers' ward room?" "You and I can talk later." "It's okay." "Baby steps." "Left, right, left." "I'm sorry." "It doesn't feel like a man-made boat, or a submarine." "It feels like a living thing." "Like a beast." "And I'm in the lungs, or the stomach." "It's, like, it's swallowed me whole." "I feel like it's digesting me." "Honestly." "I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here." "Yes." "It's quite fortuitous." "I heard you were on a submarine, and I thought you could use my help." "So, I climbed onboard just as the ship was going underwater." "Wow." "Oh, wow." "What do we do now?" "Well, we're going to take it one day at a time." "One hour at a time." "We're going to get through this together." "I've been observing you, Adrian." "You're doing very well, in spite of your condition." "Your acute claustrophobia." "Well..." "I'd even say you're being rather heroic." "I have to be brave for Natalie's sake." "She's just a girl." "She's depending on me." "Well, she's lucky to have you." "That's true." "What?" "Medal of Honor?" "I think that's a bit premature, Dr. Bell." "Who's Dr. Bell?" "His new therapist." "That's a coping mechanism." "Someone to lean on." "Makes sense." "It does?" "The important thing is to stay busy." "Focus on the case." "All right." "Now, tell me about the crime scene." "Okay." "Well..." "The room was locked from the inside." "Everybody's saying suicide, but it doesn't feel right, you know?" "I found this." "Here." "It smells like gun powder." "I noticed that, too." "Hey, we make a pretty good team." "Mr. Monk, they're patching you through." "Thank you." "There's the other one." "This is Disher." "Randy, it's me." "Adrian Monk." "I need you to research a possible murder victim." "Yeah, sure." "What's the name?" "Okay." "He's a Lieutenant Commander." "Jason Pierce." "Talk to his family." "See what they think." "Maybe he kept a diary, or some sort of log." "Yeah, I'll get right on it." "Where are you?" "I'm on a submarine, the U.S.S. Seattle." "Yeah." "Seriously." "We're underwater." "Periscope depth." "Water temp, 46 degrees." "Speed, 15 knots." "Relative bearing two-five-niner." "You're on a submarine?" "Roger that." "How are you doing?" "Fine." "I'm fine." "I'd be going crazy if Dr. Bell wasn't here." "Dr. Bell's there?" "How did he get on the submarine?" "Well..." "Hold on." "I'll let him tell you." "He's right here." "It's Disher." "Yeah." "Yeah." "I work with him." "Monk!" "I know, right?" "Hey, Monk." "Monk." "Can you believe it?" "It's a true story." "Yeah, uh-huh." "Is there anyone else there I can talk to?" "You can stay here." "It's the only place onboard with any privacy, and believe me, you're going to want privacy." "These guys haven't seen a girl since we left port." "That was three hours ago." "I know." "Clean towel, soap, toothpaste." "Davenport, of course." "You think I'm crazy?" "I mean, about my friend?" "I don't know, but you knocked on the right door." "Mr. Monk will figure it out." "Nat, I'm sorry about getting you stuck like this." "You don't look like you're sorry." "Well, I'm sorry I'm not more sorry." "Do you ever wonder what would have happened if you had met me first?" "I mean, before Mitch." "I did meet you first." "Austin, Texas." "New Year's Eve, 1989." "You were there?" "You were with your fiancée." "Caroline..." "Caroline Shelton." "So, what happened to her?" "She sobered up." "Realized she could do better." "You never married?" "A submarine is not a co-ed vessel." "It's kind of hard to meet a woman on this job." "Well, it's co-ed now, isn't it?" "Yes, it is." "Permission to come aboard?" "You're already onboard, Mr. Monk." "Right." "I mean, permission to come into your cabin..." "Room." "Crib." "Permission denied." "It's me again." "How about now?" "Come in, Mr. Monk." "Thank you." "That's my father." "He was secretary of the Navy." "He must have been very proud of you." "Well, you'd think he would have been, wouldn't you?" ""Not self, but country. " I like it." "You like it." "I live it." "I thought I told you to stay in the officers' ward." "Yes, sir." "I know." "But my therapist thought I should focus on the case." "Your therapist?" "It doesn't matter." "There is no case, Detective." "Lieutenant Commander Pierce shot himself." "It's in the NCIS report." "There were two other witnesses." "We heard a gunshot." "The door was locked from the inside, and I had to break it down." "So there's no other explanation, is there?" "I don't know." "Well, what you don't know could fill a super tanker." "Did you know that Pierce was a recovering alcoholic and had started drinking again?" "Had he?" "He confided that in me two weeks ago." "And that's why I was worried when he didn't show up for the drill." "About that drill." "That was the second drill of the day." "Is that right?" "Is that normal?" "Two drills in one day?" "No." "It's quite unusual." "My job, my mandate, is to prepare these children for battle." "War is not tidy, Mr. Monk." "War does not follow any set schedule, and neither do I." "Is there anything else?" "No." "You're with us until Thursday, Mr. Monk." "I'd like very much not to see you again." "It's a rather small boat, but with vigilance and patience," "I believe we can manage to avoid each other." "Yes, sir." "I'll do my best." "It looks like a match." "What do you think?" "Yep." "I think you're right." "Definitely." "You've done it again." "Well." "Does anyone else onboard drink this brand of soda?" "Only Commander Whitaker." "Nobody else can touch it." "It's his private stash." "I need to borrow your weapon." "And some surgical tape." "It's not loaded." "Okay." "You'll see." "Be patient." "A silencer." "That would explain the gun powder on the duct tape." "Who would use a silencer to kill himself?" "Wait, Mr. Monk." "What are you saying?" "Are you saying..." "Commander Whitaker?" "What about the locked door?" "And the gunshot?" "I don't know how he did it." "I don't know why." "But he's the guy." "Where's your lady friend?" "Oh, she's..." "She's staying in the infirmary." "Lieutenant Albright." "He's got her in his sights." "The target has been acquired." "Target." "What are you doing?" "I'm separating my food." "Is there a name for that?" "Well, I don't know." "Why don't you ask him?" "He's the expert." "You're not hungry?" "I'm starving." "So, tell me about Commander Whitaker." "Were he and Lieutenant Commander Pierce close?" "You're on a sub, brother." "Everybody's close." "Yeah." "Pierce and the CO went way back." "They were in the Gulf together." "Who gets the vegetarian?" "Right here." "Somebody wanted vegetarian?" "Here." "You can have mine." "I already separated them." "What was that?" "You feel..." "You feel that?" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God!" "We've been hit!" "We're going down!" "I mean, we're going down more!" "It's okay, brother." "It's just a little sea turbulence." "It's a good thing he wasn't with us in January." "What happened in January?" "We hit a mountain." "You hit a mountain?" "You didn't see a mountain?" "It was an undersea mountain." "There was a mix-up on the bridge." "They were using some old nav charts." "And you hit a mountain?" "It was nobody's fault." "There was a big inquest." "The CO testified." "Everybody was cleared." "But you have a new chart now, right?" "Yes, sir." "And we're sure about that?" "It has all the mountains?" "Yes, sir." "Not just most of the mountains." "It has all the mountains." "Wait." "You know what?" "I'm not sure." "I'm kidding, sir." "We have..." "Yeah." "We're going to be fine." "You shouldn't joke about mountains." "It's not funny." "Hey." "Hey." "I'll just be a second." "I left a book in here." "Okay." "Did you talk to Julie?" "I did." "Thank you." "She couldn't believe" "I was calling from a nuclear submarine." "She wants me to bring her home a torpedo." "I'll have them gift wrap one for you." "I thought it was here." "What's it called?" "The Art of War." "The best book on male-female relationships I ever read." "Maybe it's up here." "Sorry." "Any luck?" "Just a second." "That's too bad." "What?" "I found it." "I can't." "I'm sorry." "Is it because of Mitch?" "Because we were friends?" "Oh, God." "I don't know." "I just keep picturing him." "I'm sorry." "I understand." "You do?" "Then explain it to me." "This is you." "The sheets are clean." "Does it fold out?" "Nope." "That's it." "Does it fold out?" "No." "That's it." "Does it fold out?" "It's actually more comfortable than it looks." "It would almost have to be." "What about my friend?" "Do you have room for him?" "Right." "Dr. Bell." "He could have Jonesy's rack." "Well, where's Jonesy?" "Jonesy broke his neck." "In January, when we hit the mountain." "Oh." "How's he doing?" "We lost him." "He..." "He died in Bethesda Hospital a week ago, Tuesday." "Oh." "Good night, Mr. Monk." "Does it fold out?" "That's it." "Okay." "Okay." "It's..." "Good night, Mr. Monk." "Good night." "I'm just going to fold it out." "No." "You're going to want to get in there." "A week ago, Tuesday?" "That's the same day Commander Pierce died." "Right, Doc?" "Monk, you might be right about Lieutenant Pierce." "I spoke to his family." "Sisters, parents, they all say he would never kill himself." "Devout Catholic, for one thing." "We still can't prove it." "Oh, well." "Maybe you can." "They gave me his computer." "He made an appointment with a criminal attorney." "They were planning on meeting next week." "Really?" "Why?" "I don't know." "I called the guy and he wouldn't talk to me." "Attorney-client, blah, blah, blah." "All right." "Well, thanks, Randy." "We'll let you know what happens." "Bye." "What are those?" "Just some old nav charts." "Empty." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "I bet he is." "I've just talked to Nav-Tech." "They're going to be throwing decoys at us all week." "We'd better be ready for anything." "Yes, sir." "We'll do you proud." "Detective Monk." "What part of "confined to quarters" don't you understand?" "I thought you'd like to know how the investigation is going." "I'm getting closer." "Closer?" "To what?" "To the truth." "I have the who." "I have the why." "All I need is how." "Come here." "You have something to say to me." "You did it." "You killed Lieutenant Commander Pierce." "And I know why." "It was the accident last January." "You hit a mountain." "I still can't believe it." "How do you hit a mountain?" "But you knew it was a career-ending mistake." "You convinced Lieutenant Commander Pierce to help you cover it up." "You switched charts so that you could tell everyone that it wasn't your fault." "That you'd been given a chart that was out of date." "But one sailor, a kid named Jonesy, had been badly hurt." "And when Jonesy died, Lieutenant Commander Pierce had a change of heart." "And he told you he wanted to confess." "So, I killed him to protect my reputation, to save my career, so I wouldn't disappoint dead Daddy." "Is that your story?" "Something like that." "What about the gunshot?" "From inside the room." "There were three witnesses." "Can you explain that?" "Not yet." "Lieutenant Commander Pierce's death was a suicide." "I'll tell you how I know." "Because I said it was!" "When I'm on land, I'm a decorated commander in the United States Navy." "When I'm on this ship, I am the Lord, thy God." "I am Jehovah." "Do you understand?" "No one questions me!" "Now, I've asked around." "I know all about your problems." "Your fears, your claustrophobia." "You are having a breakdown, sir." "It happens on submarines, all the time." "To men far better than you." "You are delusional." "I have my share of problems." "I don't deny it." "But when it comes to this case, the last thing I am is delusional." "Tell him." "Does that sound delusional to you?" "Watch your step." "Natalie?" "We just talked to the commander." "He's definitely the guy." "Practically confessed." "Went on and on and on how he's God on this ship, and Adrian must be delusional." "Mr. Monk." "Shh." "Now, the answer must be in Lieutenant Pierce's cabin." "We've got to get back in there and look around." "Let's move out." "What's this?" "This is it." "Compartment 33." "Sorry." "It says, "Come alone. "" "Hello?" "Steve?" "Steve?" "Hello?" "Something's wrong." "Let's shake some things up today." "Chief of Boat, make your depth 150 feet." "Slow to all ahead two thirds." "Aye, aye, Skipper." "Depth 1-5-0 feet." "Stand by." "We're diving!" "Natalie, we have other things to worry about!" "No." "Mr. Monk, we must be in the ballast tank!" "My God!" "It's the ocean!" "Natalie, it's the ocean!" "It's the Pacific Ocean!" "Wait." "Dr. Bell." "He's right outside." "Dr. Bell!" "Open the hatch!" "Dr. Bell!" "Dr. Bell!" "What am I saying?" "Somebody, help!" "Dr. Bell!" "Help!" "Open the hatch!" "Help!" "Help, somebody!" "Dr. Bell!" "Dr. Bell!" "Open the hatch!" "Help!" "Somebody, help!" "Open the hatch!" "Help!" "Dr. Bell!" "Help!" "Somebody, help!" "We're in here!" "Ocean in my shoes." "Ocean..." "Ocean in my shoes!" "Dr. Bell!" "Mr. Monk!" "It won't do us any good if we both panic." "You're right." "You're right." "We'II..." "We'll take turns." "I'll go first." "Oh, God!" "Natalie!" "What?" "Ocean in my pants." "Ocean in my pants." "Make your depth 3-0-0 feet." "3-0-0 feet." "Aye." "Natalie!" "I don't know how to swim!" "I took some lessons once, but not actually in water." "Mr. Monk, I don't think swimming is going to be a problem." "I'm not even sure I know how to drown." "Have you seen Mr. Monk and Miss Teeger?" "Yes, sir." "About 20 minutes ago." "I saw them on Level B near the stern." "Level B." "Helm steer 0-9-5." "We're at 400 feet." "Leveling off." "Who ordered you to level off?" "Keep diving." "Wait!" "My belt!" "What?" "My good luck belt!" "Oh, yeah." "How's that working out for you?" "It's hollow." "Can you help me?" "Beads out." "Get the beads out." "It's hollow." "We can make it like a snorkel, it'll buy us some time." "Okay." "It works!" "Try it!" "No, I'm fine." "Why?" "Because of germs?" "Not now!" "I'm fine." "Mr. Monk!" "I'm fine." "Stand back!" "We've got to surface!" "Surface now!" "There's two people in the ballast tank!" "That's ridiculous." "Why would they be in there?" "You tell me." "Surface." "We're surfacing!" "Surfacing." "Stand by for emergency ascent." "Detective Monk." "Miss Teeger." "I'm glad to see you both in one piece." "Are you?" "It's all over, Commander." "We solved the case." "I'm going to let Dr. Bell explain." "No!" "You've got..." "No!" "You do it." "He's sleepy, Mr. Monk." "It's better if you do it." "You're good at it." "Fine, I'll do it." "I'll do it." "We have all the pieces." "The who, the why and the how." "Is that right?" "This is the how." "It's a firecracker." "And these ashes are from a cigarette." "We found them in the vent behind the door." "It happened right here in this room, a few minutes before the second drill." "You forced Jason Pierce to drink some vodka." "Then you shot him." "You executed your friend in cold blood with a homemade silencer." "Nobody heard a thing." "You used a cigarette as a fuse." "That gave you about five minutes to get back to the bridge." "You hid it inside that vent." "You figured it was the one place they wouldn't look." "It was a perfect alibi." "You were in the hallway with witnesses when they heard what they thought was a gunshot." "All you had to do was slip the key into his pocket when no one was looking." "We found a thumb print on the inside of that vent." "I could fax it to NCIS." "It would take about a half an hour." "That won't be necessary, Lieutenant." "In that case, sir, I'm relieving you of your command and confining you to quarters." "Congratulations, Detective Monk." "I hope the rest of the Navy does its job as well as you do yours." "Shall we?" "I'm sorry." "After you." "They're debriefing me tomorrow." "Then I ship out again." "For how long?" "December." "Well." "Home for Christmas." "Come on by." "I'll make you some cocoa." "Little marshmallows?" "Marshmallows?" "That's a big step, Lieutenant." "You sure we're ready for that?" "Well, we'll find out." "Adrian." "Ad..." "I'm so proud of you." "I'm just bursting." "I mean, you came through like a champ." "And under the worst possible circumstances." "Well, I couldn't have done it without you." "I'll see you around, Doc." "Wow." "You really were on a submarine." "How was that?" "Oh, it was..." "It was kind of horrifying." "I was scared to death every minute." "Same old, same old." "Pretty much." "I'm going to go check out the sub." "Adrian." "How did you do that?" "The Lieutenant told me what happened." "I..." "A submarine." "I can hardly wait to hear the whole story." "I thought we might drive back together." "But you were there." "Yes." "Yes, it's true." "I..." "I was there." "But you could remind me of some of the details." "But it just happened." "What, now it's like a blur?" "It's just a little hazy, but..." "Wow." "It's funny how the mind works." "Oh, yes, it is." "Let's get to the car." "You found a parking spot." "Yeah." "Right there."
