Monk Moments That Fans Can’t Forget

0:05 What if Jason Ronstad was the bodyguard who knew too much?

0:17 You were dipping into the war chest again.

0:24 You got to be kidding.

0:26 That's old news, Monk.

0:28 Mr.

0:28 St.

0:28 Clair, bear with me, please, sir.

0:30 On your mark.

0:32 Here's what I think happened.

0:36 Nicole Vasquez was going over the books, but some numbers didn't add up.

0:41 Excuse me, sir.

0:42 Um, I just wondered if I could talk to you for a sec.

0:44 It seems um that a large sum of money is going into a different account.

0:47 I just

0:48 She asked you about it and you brushed her off.

0:50 Thanks for catching the honey.

0:51 That's what I pay you for.

0:52 All right, I'll look into it.

0:53 All right,

0:55 stop.

0:55 Maybe you even accused her of stealing the money.

1:01 Can you believe this guy?

1:02 You You are out of your mind.

1:05 Out of your mind.

1:06 You started to worry the girl might talk.

1:08 You couldn't buy her off.

1:09 She had a little something we call integrity.

1:12 So, you decided it was time to hire somebody to kill her.

1:16 But who?

1:18 You asked Jason Ronstad, but he turned you down.

1:27 You are in hell surrounded by honest people.

1:31 I don't have to stand here and listen to this.

1:33 Yes, you do.

1:34 Yes, you do.

1:36 Okay.

1:36 Thanks, Captain.

1:38 You kept shopping around.

1:40 You found a professional, Ian Sykes.

1:44 Sykes killed the girl, but you still had one loose end left.

1:50 Jason Ronstad, the first guy you asked.

1:54 But hell, that's all right.

1:56 Flying 17 combat missions in the Gulf wasn't easy.

2:01 Buying a fleet of Mald.

2:05 Killing Jason Ronstead in public was brilliant

2:08 cuz everyone assumed it was an assassination attempt.

2:11 And you got a twofer.

2:13 Your problem was eliminated.

2:15 And your candidate gets to look heroic.

2:17 I don't suppose you're going to be able to prove any of this.

2:22 Well, here was your mistake.

2:22 My mistake.

2:27 Hey, this photograph was taken seconds after the shooting.

2:33 That's you, isn't it?

2:34 Pointing up at the sniper.

2:36 Yeah,

2:36 he's up there.

2:38 I NEED AN AMBULANCE.

2:39 I'M UNIT.

2:40 NOW.

2:42 You're the only one pointing.

2:45 How did you know where he was?

2:48 Here we go.

2:50 Summit Creek water.

2:52 It's his favorite.

2:54 I know.

2:55 Well, do you know what his favorite drink was last year?

2:57 I do.

2:58 Sierra Springs.

3:01 Uh, 10 ice cubes, of course.

3:05 And some cookies fresh from the oven.

3:13 They're square.

3:15 I knew you would appreciate that.

3:17 Yeah, I've been baking all day and cleaning.

3:19 I wanted everything to be perfect.

3:24 Marcy, is this my glass?

3:26 Not anymore.

3:27 You threw it out, remember?

3:30 And yes, this is your rug.

3:31 And yes, that's your lamp.

3:33 And yes, these are your pants.

3:37 Don't worry, not crazy, just a fan.

3:40 You are amazing.

3:42 But you know that, don't you?

3:46 his pants.

3:49 Wine stomping.

3:49 It's a tradition that goes back thousands of years to the Greeks.

3:53 We're one of the last vineyards in California

3:56 that at least make some of their wine using this method.

4:04 Oh my god.

4:07 Do people actually drink that?

4:09 Yeah, I think so.

4:10 Are they insane?

4:12 Go ask her if they're insane.

4:14 Ju just ask her.

4:15 I'm not going to ask for that, Mr.

4:16 Mark.

4:17 And of course, we can't press all of our wine like this.

4:19 It would take too long.

4:20 But we do make one label using this method.

4:23 The elaco cabernet can be bought from our store out front.

4:31 I can't believe that's the elacco.

4:34 I know.

4:34 Just take it easy.

4:35 I've been drinking that wine for 15 years.

4:38 It's foot wine.

4:40 I can taste it.

4:41 Oh, no.

4:42 Come on.

4:42 You cannot taste it.

4:43 I I I I can I can I can taste the feet now.

4:47 I can taste and the toes and what's between the toe.

4:50 And the fungus really is barbaric.

4:53 Okay, I didn't see any fungus.

4:55 Look, I'm sure they have clean feet.

4:56 There are probably rules about that stuff.

5:02 Okay, admit it.

5:02 That's pretty disgusting.

5:05 Little more mayonnaise.

5:07 A pinch of paprika.

5:09 Maybe two pinch.

5:10 Maybe three pinches.

5:11 Okay, that's perfect.

5:12 Maybe four pinches.

5:12 Okay, Kevin.

5:13 I think that's enough.

5:14 Thank you.

5:15 We are going to need some pepper.

5:17 And I think I have some upstairs.

5:19 Maybe I should bring all my seasonings down

5:22 here if we're going to be cooking all week.

5:24 All week.

5:25 Here's something you might find interesting.

5:27 This is only the eighth time in my life I have ever had egg salad.

5:32 Really?

5:32 And how much you want to bet I can name all eight?

5:37 The first time was in third grade.

5:39 I traded sandwiches with a kid named Stuart Kramer.

5:42 Then three years after that, my cousin's confirmation party.

5:47 Two years after that, I was in a restaurant.

5:49 I ordered tuna fish.

5:51 Do you like to laugh?

5:52 No, I don't.

5:53 Well, get ready to because I knew it was egg salad.

5:55 I could smell it, but the waitress kept saying to me,

5:57 "No, it's tuna fish." Phone, we're on number three.

6:02 Remember where we are.

6:06 Hello.

6:04 Oh, Shirona.

6:05 Shuna.

6:06 How's your mom?

6:08 Oh, good.

6:09 Oh, thank God.

6:10 Thank God for modern medicine.

6:13 Not Not too good, actually.

6:15 He's in the kitchen right now naming every Excel sandwich he ever had.

6:22 Eight, including today.

6:25 It's It's not funny.

6:28 Stop.

6:29 Stop laughing.

6:35 You were the husband.

6:38 I am the husband.

6:44 Forgive me.

6:48 Forgive you.

6:53 This is me turning off your morphine.

7:29 And This is Trudy, the woman you killed.

7:37 Turning it back on.

7:57 Why is this garage door open?

7:59 Don't know, Sarge.

7:59 Open by itself.

8:00 Maybe we installed it wrong.

8:02 I got the same problem in my garage.

8:04 It's like an epidemic.

8:09 Natalie, I know how he did it.

8:11 I know how he killed her.

8:13 It's all about the garage doors.

8:15 It is.

8:17 Yes.

8:18 Dad.

8:19 Danny.

8:19 Where's Mr.

8:19 Wagner?

8:20 He left.

8:20 He said he was late for something.

8:22 What's wrong, sweetie?

8:23 The astronaut took her doll.

8:25 He took her doll.

8:27 That's it, Natalie.

8:29 It's all about the doll.

8:30 You said it was all about the garage door.

8:32 It's about the doll and the garage doors.

8:35 It's about both.

8:42 Mr.

8:42 Kane, where did you get that doll?

8:46 I Come on.

8:47 You stole it, didn't you?

8:48 It was in a box sitting on Joannne's front porch,

8:51 and you took it just like you took the fruit of the month box.

8:54 It was sitting there for 3 days.

8:55 All right.

8:56 I figured she wasn't home.

8:57 You're a horrible neighbor, Daddy.

9:02 Honey, it's going to be all right.

9:04 It's going to be okay.

9:07 Daddy, it's going to be all right, sweetie.

9:08 Come on.

9:11 Huh?

9:14 This is Captain Salvo.

9:15 I just lost two of my civilians.

9:16 Notify the law enforcement desk.

9:20 Thank you.

9:20 The son's way.

9:22 We have to find Wagner before he gets rid of that doll.

9:25 Look, I don't understand.

9:27 Here's what happened.

9:29 Before he left, Wagner must have gone to Joannne's house.

9:32 He drugged her, but not enough to kill her.

9:34 Just enough to knock her out for a couple of days.

9:37 Then he built a machine.

9:39 A murder machine.

9:41 A machine that would hang her on Wednesday, long after he was gone.

9:45 What kind of machine?

9:47 A garage door opener.

9:49 He left her there drugged, probably tied up,

9:52 and then took off into space with the whole world watching.

9:59 This What are you doing?

10:02 I don't know.

10:04 They're at ramp 2.

10:05 He's handling the missile.

10:07 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

10:08 There's a missile.

10:09 They could They could be nuclear weapons.

10:11 Then stop me for the love of God.

10:20 I don't understand.

10:21 She died on Wednesday.

10:22 How did he activate the machine?

10:23 It was so simple.

10:24 It was brilliant.

10:25 He used a remote control.

10:28 He taped it or glued it down so it stayed on.

10:32 Then he put the remote control inside one of those dolls.

10:36 Then he mailed it to her own house.

10:37 Second day mail.

10:39 Second day mail.

10:40 Wednesday morning.

10:41 Exactly.

10:41 It was like a time buff.

10:43 The mailman delivered the remote control,

10:46 put it on the front porch on the other side of that door.

10:49 She was being strangled.

10:51 Oh my god.

10:53 But they found her in the living room.

10:56 After he landed, Wagner went back to her house.

10:58 He dismantled the machine and moved her body into the other room.

11:00 It was a PERFECT PLAN EXCEPT FOR one thing.

11:03 The doll was missing.

11:05 He must have panicked.

11:07 He went back there again today to find it.

11:09 He knows that remote could tie him to the murder.

11:12 His fingerprints are all over it.

11:15 EXCUSE ME.

11:16 HI.

11:16 HEY.

11:16 NICE RIDE.

11:17 HI.

11:17 LISTEN, we're looking for Steve Wagner.

11:19 He may be on the flight line.

11:21 I think they just cleared her for takeoff.

11:23 Great.

11:23 We'd love to watch.

11:24 Which way?

11:25 You can't miss him.

11:25 He's in a brand new FA22.

11:29 The paramedic.

11:30 I met her before.

11:32 She was Robert Vo's niece.

11:36 Wait.

11:37 Wait.

11:38 AND BEFORE THAT?

11:40 VICTIM number two.

11:42 She was the paramedic on the golf course.

11:44 Oh, there's got to be a good explanation.

11:46 I know Angelie and she's a good person.

11:49 Oh, you know her?

11:51 I mean, I've seen her around.

11:53 She's a customer.

11:54 She's a customer.

11:56 Has she ever bought any of those dolls?

11:58 Sure.

11:58 Five, maybe six.

12:01 That's it.

12:02 That That's it.

12:03 She's the guy.

12:04 Who's the guy?

12:05 The paramedic.

12:07 Angeline.

12:08 She's the connection.

12:10 Her uncle was loaded.

12:11 He was the real target.

12:12 The other dolls were just distractions.

12:14 It was so simple.

12:16 It was brilliant.

12:17 All she needed were some packages that had been postmarked.

12:21 So, she mailed a few empty boxes to herself.

12:24 Then, she waited.

12:26 She needed the right accident, the right victim.

12:29 Martha Murphy was perfect.

12:31 She lived alone.

12:33 Angeline stole her key, snuck into her house,

12:36 and left a box and customized doll in plain sight.

12:41 Two days later, she did the same thing with Mr.

12:44 Ferris.

12:45 The third victim was the real target.

12:48 Killing her uncle was easy.

12:50 Angeline's a paramedic.

12:52 She knew exactly what drugs to use.

12:54 Something untraceable, something that would look like a heart attack.

12:59 She put some good luck charms around his house to make him look superstitious.

13:03 And the stage was set.

13:06 Thanks a lot, detective.

13:08 I'll probably never sell another voodoo doll.

13:14 Mr.

13:14 Monk, please.

13:19 I passed.

13:21 You can't pass.

13:24 For the love of God, why don't you just resign?

13:26 How about this?

13:28 If I win this game, you have to tell me how you poisoned your wives.

13:34 What are you talking about?

13:36 I am not agreeing to that.

13:38 How about this?

13:39 If we play to a draw, you come with me to police headquarters.

13:43 Mr.

13:43 Monk, I'm not negotiating with you.

13:46 When are you going to realize that it is over?

13:58 You're castling.

14:00 Yes.

14:00 The rook and the king switch places.

14:04 They switch places.

14:07 Yes.

14:07 It's the best way I know to get oneself out of trouble.

15:07 This is it.

15:17 You came here that night before we

15:19 exumed your wife's body and switched headstones.

15:24 That's why we didn't find any poison.

15:27 We dug up the wrong body.

15:32 Very good, Mr.

15:33 Monk.

15:36 You play a brilliant end game, right?

15:39 Can I tell you something?

15:40 I am sick and tired of you talking like this.

15:44 All these chess metaphors.

15:46 Two women are dead.

15:47 They're not chess pieces, Patrick.

15:49 They're human beings.

15:50 I think they deserve better.

15:56 Although if you insist.

16:01 Checkmate, kid.

16:11 No.

16:11 There was a young man in the store.

16:14 He robbed the place.

16:15 He grabbed a few bucks, but he didn't kill anyone.

16:19 Here's what happened.

16:24 What?

16:24 Nothing.

16:24 It just feels good to say that again, especially to him.

16:29 Here's what happened.

16:31 You drove to San Francisco and you murdered your wife.

16:34 No matter what the jury said, you murdered your wife.

16:37 But as you were leaving, you had a problem.

16:40 One of your tail lights was burned out.

16:42 You couldn't risk driving home like that.

16:44 If the cops stopped you, your alibi would be ruined.

16:48 There was an auto parts store up the street.

16:50 You ran in to buy a new bulb.

16:53 You were going to pay cash.

16:54 Nobody would ever know you were there.

16:56 But your timing was terrible.

16:59 Don't worry.

16:59 I've got everything on video.

17:01 Now you had a bigger problem.

17:03 As soon as she reported it, the cops would take a look at the security tape.

17:09 And we'd see you in the store three blocks away from where your wife was killed.

17:13 And you couldn't afford that.

17:18 If it's all right with you, I'm going to wait for my attorney.

17:21 His name is Harrison Powell.

17:22 I think you might remember him.

17:27 He's in my head again.

17:31 No, Monkey.

17:31 He's actually He's here.

17:34 My god.

17:35 Uh, I've been brought up to speed.

17:37 I understand you found a burnt out tail light bulb next to an auto parts store.

17:41 Congratulations, former detective Adrian Monk.

17:45 May I?

17:46 This uh this bulb must fit what?

17:49 50 models?

17:51 31.

17:51 31 models.

17:53 Former detective Adrian Monk.

17:56 Have you ever been inside an auto parts store?

17:58 Do you do you even drive a car, former detective Monk?

18:02 Okay.

18:02 Well, if you guys aren't going to charge my client with anything,

18:05 and I can tell by the dumbfounded expressions

18:06 on your faces that you're not at all,

18:08 uh, you can turn that off cuz we're hitting the road.

18:11 Let's go, fella.

18:12 I'm double parked.

18:22 The truth will come out, Powell.

18:25 Somehow it always does.

18:27 Your client killed that woman.

18:30 When are you people going to stop hassling me?

18:31 And we've got the real killer right in front of you.

18:34 That dope smoking, chain snatching little thug right over there.

18:37 He killed her.

18:38 Everybody knows it.

18:40 Whoa, whoa, excuse me.

18:41 Wait a minute.

18:43 Did you hear what he just said?

18:46 Yes, I did.

18:46 I wonder why you're asking.

18:49 Did you hear what he just said?

18:53 I didn't say anything.

18:55 You just called that young man quote a chain snatching dope smoking little thug.

19:00 I was being kind.

19:03 How did you know about the chain snatching?

19:05 He read it.

19:06 No, it wasn't in the papers.

19:08 It wasn't even in the police report.

19:10 No, no, no, no, no, no.

19:12 There is only one possible way he knew Rudy took that necklace.

19:19 You saw it happen.

19:21 It's called guilty knowledge and juries eat it up.

19:25 Mr.

19:25 Gilde, you're under arrest.

19:28 Randy, would you like to do the honors?

19:31 It's my pleasure.

19:38 Do you really want to go up against me again, former detective monk?

19:43 Yes, I do.

19:44 I'll see you on the ball field.

19:46 the ball field.

19:48 I've seen your curve ball.

19:50 I can hit it now.

19:52 Oh, I'm really looking forward to this.

19:54 No, you're not.

20:02 It's jungle out there.

20:05 Disorder and confusion everywhere.

20:10 No one seems to care.

20:12 Well, I do.

20:13 Hey, who's in charge here?

20:16 It's jungle out there.
