Monk

I guess you've completely given up

on trying to be cool, huh?

Yeah, pretty much. Wow, this place is amazing.

Look at these buildings. Look... look at that one.

How did they build that?

Actually, they built that one from the top down.

Really? Wow. Wow.

Better stick with me.

This town's going to eat you alive.

Man: Taxi!

Where'd he go? Who?

The... the man... Th-the other man.

The man in the front seat.

The nut?

Yeah, the nut. Where'd he go?

What was he complaining about? My taxi is very clean.

Why was he wiping, wiping, wiping everything?

Look, sir, your taxi is perfect,

but where did he go?

Look, I don't care.

I'll never pick him up again. You tell him that.

I see him, I'll keep driving.

I don't care if I lose my license.

Hey, I'll keep driving.

I lost him.

What do you mean? He was... he was right here.

How could he get lost? We're 15 feet from the hotel.

Monk!

Oh, my god! Adrian!

Adrian!

Adrian, you can't just walk away like that.

You scared me half to death.

Somebody dropped this.

You know what? You're going to have to forget about that.

There is no way that you're going to be able

to clean up New York City by yourself.

Trust me. New York City wins.

It's always going to win.

It's so noisy.

So is San Francisco.

No, this... this is different.

I can't do this.

I can't really function here.

It's... This is too much, too much.

Adrian, listen to me.

Don't forget why you're here, all right?

You have a lead, a name.

Finally, after all these years, you know?

Warrick Tennyson.

That's right, warrick Tennyson.

And he is connected somehow to Trudy's murder.

But why does he have to live here?

I don't know. When you find him,

that can be the first thing you ask him.

It won't be the first thing I ask him.

Check it out.

Wow.

Wow.

Ha ha.

I could get used to this place.

Do you think they have cable?

Of course they have cable.

Can we afford this?

Well, we didn't have a choice.

Adrian booked the reservation.

It's rated the cleanest hotel in New York.

Hello, I'm Adrian... Monk.

Party of four.

Not much of a party, really.

Here we are... monk.

You have three rooms.

Oh, three rooms. Well, me and sharona.

Wait, wait, wait.

I-I thought I was getting my own room.

Look, well, I'd rather not be by myself.

Me and the captain.

No. No, no. Sharing the cab was bad enough.

Well, why don't we just get a fourth room?

Sorry, we're completely booked.

Well, uh, how about me and sharona?

In your dreams.

Mr. Ambassador, welcome back. This came for you.

Thank you.

Oh, excuse me.

Excuse me.

Okay, well, uh, whoever gets me,

I-I just have to let you know

I'm going to need the bathroom all to myself, so...

Um, Adrian, Adrian, um...

Do you mind if you just guard the luggage over there? Hmm?

Just guard the luggage... And I think they're uneven.

Oh. Totally uneven.

Thank you. Good day.

That's the new Latvian ambassador.

Whoop-de-doo.

Sis nav mans metelis.

Get down!

Police officers! Everyone down! Down!

Down! Get down!

Call 911 now.

Everybody stay down! Stay calm!

Stay down!

Monk! Monk!

Are you all right? Mm.

Did you see him?

Yeah.

Can you identify him?

Is he okay?

Is there a problem here?

He's thinking.

Mr. Monk. Mr. Monk.

We know about your reputation,

and we, uh, we appreciate your help,

but this is a big case.

I've got the feds breathing down my neck.

I've got CNN outside. I don't have all day here.

I can't focus. It's too noisy.

What's... what's noisy?

It's, uh, it's the traffic.

But we're inside.

I can hear it.

Would you like us to shut down midtown Manhattan

so you can focus here?

Would that be inconvenient?

Uh, excuse me. Do you mind if I just talk to him for a sec?

What's going on?

Can't you hear that? Can't you hear that?

No.

It's... it's relentless.

What?

The sirens.

There's no off switch here, okay?

I mean, look,

I wish there was, but there isn't, okay?

The buses...

Monk, come here.

Come here.

Look, these are the people

who are going to help us find Tennyson, okay?

So let's dazzle them here.

That way they'll owe us one.

Remember, we're here for Trudy.

Right.

Come on.

His coat.

Whose coat?

The ambassador's coat... It's damp.

He's right.

And the other coats are dry.

How'd we miss that?

You get used to it.

I remember, when the ambassador came in,

he brushed up against me.

His coat was dry.

What, his coat was dry then but it's wet now?

Maybe the shooter switched coats.

Hey.

"Dometri krazluv."

No, it's the right coat. Now, that's the damnedest thing.

This might not have been political.

He was an ambassador, for god's sake.

His country's on the brink of a civil war.

What else could it be?

But look at how the bodies fell.

The shooter killed the two bodyguards first.

Well, sure he did, on account of they were armed.

Nope. No. If this was political,

he would have taken out his primary target first...

The ambassador.

And he wouldn't have used a .22 caliber.

It's a pea shooter.

Well, it seemed to do the trick.

The shooter got lucky.

Whatever happened here wasn't planned.

It... it just happened.

You know, I'm glad you got a good look at him.

I'm going to need you to come down to the precinct

and work with my sketch artist. You know the drill.

You know what? That's going to have to wait,

because we're meeting somebody from the d.A.'S office at 4:00

about another case, so...

Your wife's murder. Yeah, I was sorry to hear.

I just talked to the d.A., and the meeting's been canceled.

What? Since when?

Well, since 20 minutes ago.

Why?

Well, she didn't say. She never tells me anything.

Isn't that how it works in frisco?

First off, the name of our little town

is San Francisco, not frisco.

Second of all, we just flew 3,000 miles to talk to this guy.

It's the first break we've had in seven years.

I understand. I've got people downtown.
