(monk) no, thank you. why, because it's on channel 11? that's right. but you'd watch it if it was on channel 10. that's right. okay, well, let's just say that you're flipping through the channels, and you see a show that you really like, and it just happens to be on channel 23-- why would i be flipping channels? if it's a good show, it's on channel 10. need a squad car? okay...okay. uh, yeah, here they come. uh, yeah, i'll let you know. thank you, doctor. (natalie) who was that? nobody. you just said, "thank you, doctor." no, i didn't. it was dr. kroger. the crime scene boys found something inside that might upset you.

that's why we called. we figured you might want to talk to him, so he said he'd stay up and wait for you. did somebody die? somebody we know? it's not homicide. nobody was hurt. it's a straight-up burglary. monk, it's pretty intense. if you don't think you can handle it, maybe you should just go home. i understand. wait, wait, wait. mr. monk. no, come on, come on, come on. we have to see. we found this by the front door. it was, uh, folded up. the guy who broke in must have dropped it. (natalie) "to force heaven, mars shall have a new angel." some kind of code. is that it? that's just an appetizer. apparently this guy had a grocery list. he took a couple of cell phones, a flashlight bulb, some waterproof sealant, and some braided copper wire. okay...he's making a bomb, remote control.

i'm not done. he also took ten 20-volt magnesium batteries. 20 years, i've only seen one other bomb like that. trudy? he used this to pry open the door. it's just a crowbar. look at the fingerprints. thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky. six fingers?

[grunting] wipe. wipe. wipe. wipe. just take a couple of these. not guilty, your honor. the state moves for the prisoner to be remanded until trial without bail. your honor, my client is not a flight risk. he's a former police officer. he served the city of san francisco honorably for 14 years.

he still has friends in the department, some of whom are here today. i should also point out that, even if he wanted to flee, my client doesn't drive. he also has an obsessive fear of airplanes... and boats. and trucks. and trains. he's not going anywhere. your honor, on tuesday night, mr. monk somehow overcame his fears to board a bus and travel 95 miles to angel county. his record of service is impressive. but even more impressive is the mountain of evidence against him. mr. monk's motive is clear. he was obsessed with the victim frank nunn. that's not good. furthermore, mr. monk has admitted under oath that he owned the gun. that he took the gun from his house. that he carried it to the crime scene. and that it never left his possession. that's not good. and we will introduce ballistic evidence which will prove that mr. monk's gun-- the gun that came from this house, the gun that never left his hand-- is the same weapon that fired the fatal bullet. it's all circumstantial.

the bullet definitely came from his gun. it's been tested by two different laboratories. bail is set at $900,000. um...with the court's permission, could you make it an even million? (stottlemeyer) oh, my god. (natalie) what do you think? what do you think? what do you think? right now, i'm afraid to think. he can't go to prison. he can barely survive out here. okay, well, there's gonna be a trial. i mean, if he gets a good lawyer, right? but all the evidence. you heard the judge. the bullet came from his gun. monk said he didn't do it. that's funny-- this is the kind of case monk always solves. you know, not funny, "ha ha" funny. you know, more like... not funny at all funny. monk... it wasn't me. cap, it wasn't me. sheriff, excuse us. thank you.

i thought about it. i almost did it. but i didn't pull the trigger. you believe me, right? we'll worry about that later. right now, we gotta get you out of here. now, your bail's been set at a million, even. we need 10% of that. now, i can mortgage my townhouse. i could sell my car. um, i'm leasing, so... let's go. van's downstairs. one second. can i say good-bye? don't... don't worry about me. okay? i mean... i'll be okay. all right. let's not get all conjugal here. we got a long ride ahead of us. whew. well, i guess we better go too.
