[sneezes]

Oh, gosh.

Hello?

Hello?

Mr. Donovan?

Mr. Donovan?

[forklift engine starts]

Wh-what-- What are
you doing here?

You shouldn't be here.

What are you--
What are you doing?!

Oh! No!

Oh! Oh!

Help! Help!

Oh! Help!

Help!

Help!

[woman screams]

-Help! Help!
-[forklift beeping]

[woman] What are you doing? No!

Help! Somebody help me!

Help me! Help me!

Somebody help me!

Help me! Aah!

Help!

[intriguing music]

Over there, over there.

[sighs] Maybe I should
just buy a TV while I'm here.

What's the matter
with the one you have?

It broke. All we get
is the Science Channel.

I swear, if I see one more
show about the moon landing,

I'm going to scream.

Yeah, what could be more dull
than the conquest of space?

Exactly.

Hi. Um, we're with the police.

We're looking for the…

-Dead body?
-Mm-hmm.

Take your pick.

We got
a whole store full of 'em.

The police are in the back.

On the loading dock.

[pop]

Ignore it.

You don't have
to pop 'em all.

[popping]

Monk, Sharona.

You having fun?

No. What have we got?

It's pretty routine--
an industrial accident.

Yeah, her name
was Edna Coruthers.

The manager says she was
a model employee,

first one here,
last one to leave.

He figured she was checking
on a delivery for a customer,

and a 42-inch flat-screen TV
fell on her.

She was killed instantly.

That's horrible.
Does the TV still work?

-[popping continues]
-Sharona…

the TV just killed a woman.

What are you going to do, lock it up?

Tired?

Yeah, I was up all last night
with my girlfriend.

Yeah, those imaginary
girlfriends can be pretty wild.

She's not imaginary.

Ooh. What's her name?

Crystal.

What's her last name, Glassware?

No, it's Smith.

-Do you have a picture?
-Yeah.

Oh. She's pretty.

Randy, this came
with the wallet.

Yeah, I know.
She's a wallet model.

-That's sad.
-Sharona…

she's one of the top five wallet models
in the world, thank you very much.

Meanwhile,
back on earth…

I don't know
why the DA called you.

We're wrapping up our tent.
Nothing to see here.

No, no,
the DA didn't call me.

It was the store
security manager, right?

I took the call,
but he didn't give me his name.

[Stottlemeyer]
A reason for that, Monk.

If you knew who it was,
you probably wouldn't be here.

Who was it?

[popping]

[Sharona] Who's he?

His name's Joe Christie.
He's an ex-cop.

Hey, as far as I'm concerned,
he never was a cop.

What'd he do?

He stole some drugs,

got a couple
of good cops killed.

[Monk] Joe Christie
was my partner.

Just after I left
the department,

he was promoted
to Major Narcotics,

and he arrested this dealer
named Gutner

with two and a half kilos
of uncut cocaine.

The drugs disappeared
magically.

They never made it
to the evidence room.

Well, what about the cops?

Well, without the drugs,
the dealer walked.

[Stottlemeyer] Got pulled over
a month later

for a routine
traffic violation,

and he shot two good cops--
I knew one of 'em.

I knew them both.

Well, somebody's got
to take his statement.

No, no, no.
Not-- Not me.

I go near him, I deck him.

-Fine, I'll do it.
-[popping continues]

I'll go with you.
You can tell me

all about Crystal,
the famous wallet model.

I can't believe anybody
even hired that guy.

Well, he never was
convicted of anything.

[popping]

So, uh, what,

are you going
to pop all of these?

No choice.

[popping]

You have to press down
with your thumb--

Monk, I know how to pop
bubble wrap. Thank you.

Hey, Chandler, Roberto,
get over here.

Start popping these.

[popping]

Is there a reason
why we're doing this?

Nope.

Just keep popping.

Hey, I really
appreciate this.

Hey, he doesn't think
it was an accident.

He says
she was allergic to dust,

and she never came
back here.

Plus he found this.

It's a heel. He found it
15 yards from the body.

He thinks she was
running from something.

Nah, it just snapped off
and went flying.

I've seen that before.

Did she have any enemies?

Not really, but the store
did get three complaints

about her last month.

Yeah, but from three
different customers.

They were all anonymous.

-What did they say?
-Nothing much.

Uh, she had alcohol
on her breath,

she was rude
to somebody…

He wants you
to check that out.

[popping]

No. No, I ca-- I can't do it.

I can't--
I can't work with him.

[popping]

[Benjy] We're pouring
two jigsaw puzzles out…

-500 pieces each.
-[puzzle pieces clattering]

Now we're
mixing 'em together.

Okay, open your eyes.

Ready…

go!

[Rudy] Is he a robot?

[Benjy] No, he's a person.

[Rudy] Wow. What else
can he do?

He vacuums a lot,

and he solves murders.

-[Rudy] You could sell tickets.
-[Benjy] I know, I know.

I want to,
but my mom won't let me.

He's her boss.

Benjy, what are you doing?
He's not a toy.

He doesn't care. He likes it.
Don't you, Mr. Monk?

Oh, yeah. This one's
missing the corner.

Do you think
he could do three?

Let's find out.

[intriguing music plays]

[Rudy] Uh-oh.

We broke him.

Adrian.

Hey, are you okay?

Sharona…

you don't still have
those letters.

What letters?

The letters
Joe Christie gave us.

I don't know.

That was over a month ago.

Twenty-seven days.

A month.

Close enough.

Hey, it's your lucky day.

They're right here.

What's he doing now?

Oh, he's just thinking.

Want to play video games?

Good idea.

-[woman speaking over PA]
-[scanner beeping]

Morning, Jennie.

Adrian.

I gave up on you
three weeks ago.

Thanks for coming.

Are you not shaking
because it's me

or because
you still don't shake hands?

Look, for whatever it's worth,
I didn't steal those drugs.

They were never logged in.

I logged them in.
That's all I know.

I thought you, of all people,
might give me the benefit of the doubt.

Look, I'm not here for you.

I'm here for the woman
killed on the loading dock.

Well, according to the ME,

what happened
was an accident.

Look, I noticed something
about the letters that you gave us.

They all have
different postmarks,

different handwriting,

but they were sent
by the same person.

-How do you know?
-The stamps are from the same roll.

The edges are uneven…

but they fit together

like puzzle pieces.

I'll be damned.
You're still the man.

Somebody was
out to get her.

Any ideas?

It doesn't make sense.

Edna lived alone.
She never talked to anybody.

All she had was this job.

She was employee of the month
for 11 months in a row.

Whoever did it

knew her schedule
and how to lure her to the loading dock.

It has to be somebody here
in the store.

That's what worries me.
Can you help me out?

For old times' sake?

Don't say that.

I talked to home office
in Sacramento.

I have full authority
to hire anybody I want.

Even if I wanted
to poke around,

no one's going
to talk to me.

What am I supposed to do,
just hang out

in the menswear department
all day?

[woman over PA]
Jeanetta, I need that price check on…

-[PA continues indistinctly]
-[people chattering]

Excuse me,
where is the paint thinner?

Aisle two, back of the store.

Thank you very much.

-Have a Mega-Mart day.
-Okay, thank you.

[barking]

When I told home office
about my suspicion,

they decided
to beef up security.

The dog is going to guard
the loading dock after hours.

A yellow squirt gun
was found in the break room,

and a three-pack of Fish Squirters
was found in the break room.

That's Brent Donovan,
the shift manager.

He's by the book,
he's married to the job.

You know the type.

Does he know about me?

I'm not sure I trust him.

Yeah. It's hard to know
who to trust.

I didn't steal those drugs, Adrian.
Do you want

-to hear my side of the story or not?
-No. No, thank you.

-[Brent] Anything else?
-[Monk] Who are they?

[Joe] One is Ronnie,
one is Morris.

I forget which is which.

I'm not sure they know
which is which.

They've been here
a couple of months.

They're not going
to last long.

Dear God, you might be
the best employee we have.

[Monk] Hello.
Welcome to Mega-Mart.

Thank you for shopping
at Mega-Mart.

Hi, hello. Thank you
for shopping at Mega-Mart.

Thank you for shopping
at Mega-Mart.

Hi, hello. Welcome.

Thank you for waiting.
It is a madhouse today.

I couldn't find them in brown,
but we do have the black.

Hi, hello.

Welcome to Mega-Mart.

That is a wide foot.

Thank you for shopping
at Mega-Mart.

-Deodorant, aisle four.
-What?

Why would you say that?

No reason.

[scoffs]

[Monk groans]

Thank you for…

Okay, well, why don't you
just walk around, give them a try?

And we are looking at…

10 1/2 wide there.

[Brent over PA]
Cleanup on aisle four.

Cleanup on aisle four.

I got it! I got it. It's mine!

Coming through.
I called it.

Coming through.
Excuse me. It's mine.

Who is that man?

[car horn blaring]

[Monk exclaims]

What is your problem?

[quietly] Oh. I'm sorry.

[woman over PA]
Jeanetta, I need that price check on…

[PA continues indistinctly]

It doesn't
have to be perfect.

Well, as long
as we're here,

we might as well
do the job right.

Heh. I said the same thing
when I started.

When was that?

I don't remember.

Did you know
Edna Coruthers?

Everybody knew Edna.

I hate to speak ill
of the dead,

but she was
a royal pain in the rump,

always coming in early,
working late.

She was making
the rest of us look bad.

Did she ever argue
or fight with anyone?

She'd argue with anybody
who messed up her department.

I worked with her
over in housewares.

Everything
had to be spick and span.

She was a regular
profectionist.

You mean perfectionist.

I'm not one,

so I can say it
any damn way I want.

[Ronnie] Great, okay,
you almost got it.

Just a little bit higher.

-[Monk coughs]
-[Ronnie] All right, buddy, okay.

[Ronnie] He's right there,
right there.

You rock.
You rock, dude.

Try for
the cheese crackers.

Aah. Can't reach it.
How about Chuckles?

[Ronnie] Nah.

Try for
the barbecue chips.

Dude, you have longer arms.
Why don't you do it?

What are you doing?

-Uh, I-I dropped a quarter.
-I'll get it.

Donovan's looking
for you guys.

-We're on break.
-You already took it.

If you're not out there in two minutes,
I'm going to report you both.

-[scoffs]
-What a tool.

Who is she?

Jennie Silvertool.

[Morris]
She used to be cool. Remember

-when she used to cover for us?
-Yeah, yeah.

She used to hang out
in the parking lot with us

sipping on some brews.

-What happened?
-[Ronnie] Maybe she got religion.

Yeah, 'cause, like,
two months ago,

she suddenly started
punching in early

and working all late
and stuff like that.

-[Morris] Ugh.
-[Ronnie] Oh.

Hmm.

[Brent] Looks like you have
some competition.

Ha ha.

This is basically
hose central,

so if you got a hose,
this is where it goes.

-Mr. Donovan is very, very--
-[Ronnie] Down!

-[Ronnie speaks indistinctly]
-[Morris] What is it? What?

[Ronnie]
Dude, those are the guys.

What guys?

The guys who beat me
in the parking lot.

-[Morris] Oh.
-[Monk] When was this?

-Couple of months ago.
-[Morris] Yeah.

No, wait, it was--

Last week.

You know, I was putting
the promotional flyers

all over
the windshields and stuff.

These two dudes
came up from nowhere,

just started
pounding on me.

Beat the bejesus out of me.

Did they take your money?

No, man.

They were
just beating me up.

Wailing on me, no reason.

And you're sure it was them?

Not 100%.

To be honest with you,
at the time,

I wasn't what you'd
really call sober.

Dude, it's ancient history.
Don't dwell on it.

Let's take a break.

-I got your back.
-Yeah, right.

You, uh, find everything
you were looking for?

Sure.

[register beeping]

Wouldn't you rather pay cash?

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

What's going on?

I don't know.

She just typed in
their zip code

without asking them what it was.

She knows them, but she's…

pretending not to.

What do you know about her?

That's Jennie Silverman.

She's the best employee we got.

Just offered her
a management position

at the new store
in Livingston,

and she turned it down.

Why would she do that?

I don't know.

Maybe she has friends here
she's loyal to.

Those two cops were married,

and one of them had kids.

I'm loyal to them.

[tires screeching]

[tires squealing]

I've never seen you
this quiet.

What-- What's on your mind?

I'm working on a case.

I'm in a store
working undercover.

Mm. Sounds interesting.

It's the Mega-Mart

on Columbus Avenue.

Mm-hmm.

I saw you in there
yesterday.

Yeah, I-I sometimes stop there
on the way home.

Why didn't you say hi?

I saw you…

You saw me what?

You stole a granola bar.

You took a bite,
and you put it in your pocket.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Adrian, that-- that
really hurts me.

It hurts me, too.

I am not a thief.

I had that bar with me
when I went into the store.

I-I carry them
in my pocket all the time

just to keep up
my energy.

-Uh-huh.
-Yeah.

So there's, um…

There's one in your pocket
right now?

Yes, Adrian, there is one
in my pocket right now,

and I-I hope
I do not have to

take it out
to prove it to you.

-[Monk splutters] I-I--
-You know, Adrian…

I see this all the time.

I work with cops,
I work with ex-cops.

You-- You see
terrible things.

People lie to you.

After a while,
you don't believe anything.

-[splutters] I-I-I-I-I--
-Adrian…

you're going
to have to make the leap.

You're going
to have to trust.

Otherwise, you're going
to be completely alone,

and I hope that
that doesn't happen to you.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

[Dr. Kroger] All right.

Whew.

Okay, let's, um…

talk about the case.

A woman was killed
in the store.

Officially, it's been called
an accident.

You're working
in the store.

Yes. It's going
pretty well.

Mr. Donovan,
the shift manager,

said he might move me up
to register one.

Mm-hmm.

[laughs] Oh.

-Thank God.
-[laughs]

Of course…

I-I knew it.

I knew it all along.

Of course you did. Yeah.

[locker rattles]

You planning a trip?

Excuse me?

Couldn't help but notice
you're taking quinine.

Malaria pills.

Who are you?

-I'm Adrian.
-I know your name.

I see your name,
but who are you?

I'm just a curious person.

It's a gift and a curse.

For example, yesterday,

you were ringing up
a customer.

You pretended
not to know him,

but you knew
his zip code.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

That curiosity of yours--

It's not a gift
and a curse.

It's a curse.

[Brent over PA]
Attention Mega-Mart customers,

the store will be closing
in ten minutes.

[footsteps passing by]

-[object strikes]
-[Monk groans]

[groaning]

[dog snarling and growling]

[barking]

Good-- Good--
Good dog.

-[barking]
-You're a fine little fella.

See, here's the-- the thing--

I'm working undercover.
There was this woman--

Edna Coruthers-- she was
killed on the loading dock,

and I think it might have
been… premeditated!

[barking]

[door opens]

[server] There you go.
All right, is that okay?

[woman] Yes, thank you.

Hey.

Where's Adrian?

I don't know.
He said he'd meet us here.

So you want to sit down?

Sure.

Got that information
you wanted on Jennie Silverman.

Her adult record was clean,

but she spent some time
in juvie.

Uh, age 15, she had
minor-league possession

and trespassing.

And at age 16,
she stole a car.

I thought juvenile records
were sealed.

Yeah, well, there's a clerk
downtown named Ned

who has four cats
and lives with his mom,

and he bought me a drink.

I don't get paid enough.

[Joe] Monk was right.
You are good.

I'm glad you have his back.

Take care of him.

Can I ask you something?

What was he like
as a cop?

I remember
the day we met.

I walked down the hall
to shake his hand--

This was, you know,
back when he was shaking hands.

And there were seven detectives
lined up outside his office

just waiting
to run cases by him,

just to see what he thought,
just to pick his brain.

I learned more
from Adrian Monk in two days

than I did in two years
at the academy.

[both chuckle]

Were you there when Trudy…

Yeah, yeah, I was there
when he got the call.

He was laughing
when the phone rang,

and he never laughed again.

-Where is he?
-You know, the last I saw him,

he was in the shoe department
putting boxes away.

-He's putting boxes away?
-Yeah.

-Oh, God.
-Yeah.

I think we better
start ordering.

Ha ha ha.

[dog barking]

[toy squeaking]

[growls]

[barking]

[Monk exclaims]

[whines]

[barking]

[barking]

[cell phone ringing]

Oh, it's the store.

Well, ask him
what's keeping him.

[Sharona] Hello?

[barking]

Randy?

What the hell is--

[barking]

-Come on. Come on.
-What?

[dog barking]

Hey! Hey!

Over here!
Over here, huh?

Huh? Fresh meat.

Fresh meat! Come on!
Come on!

[growling]

Are you okay?

Sure. I think so.

Joe, are you okay?

I'll live.

He must have
got out of the loading dock.

Or maybe
somebody let him out.

Thank you.

Forget it.

[quietly] Hey…

he saved your life.

Maybe you can
return the favor.

[Stottlemeyer] So you two
are pals again?

I just--

I just want to give him
the benefit of the doubt.

He is a dirty cop, Monk.

Maybe. Maybe.

Are you wearing cologne?

Yeah, Crystal got it
for me.

Hey, Captain,
you ever met Crystal?

No, I can't say that I have.

We were supposed to go out
to dinner last week,

but she canceled
at the last minute.

She wasn't feeling well.

Mm-hmm.

Maybe you
blew her up too much.

She's not a balloon.

Oh, that's right.

She's a living,
breathing wallet model.

Here we go.

Internal Affairs Division,
case number 922.

Detective Lieutenant
Joseph Christie.

[Monk] What's--
What's this?

That, my friend,
is the evidence room.

Bin number four--
that's where your pal said

that he put
all of the cocaine.

As you can plainly see,
bin number four is empty.

Okay, wait.
Some of these items were sold

-at a police auction a few days later?
-Yep.

That's routine.

Three televisions,
one boy's bicycle,

two computers.

So?

Wait. Wait. Look.

Look.

Look at this bicycle.

Well, that's a girl's bike.
There's no metal bar.

But when it was sold

two days later,

it was a boy's bike.

Somebody added
that metal tube.

Do we know
who bought that boy's bike?

Yeah, it's right here.

Item 422, boy's bike,
sold to Clara Toplin.

[Stottlemeyer] Toplin.

Clara Toplin used to be
the properties clerk here.

She quit
about four years ago.

That's right.

[police radio chatter]

It's four years old,
but the residue's still there.

It tests positive
for cocaine hydrochloride.

Guess you should have
gotten rid of the bike, Clara.

I was saving it
for my grandson.

You're under arrest.

[Clara mumbles derisively]

[Disher] You have the right
to remain silent. If you do not…

[Stottlemeyer] Joe…

I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry.

That's a good start.

Come on.

[Joe laughs]

You don't want
to wipe that off?

No.

I don't.

Let's get back to work.

Yeah.

[Brent] Well, this will come
as no big surprise to anybody,

but our employee
of the month

for the second
straight month is…

-Drum roll, please.
-[laughter]

It's Jennie Silverman.

Well done, Jennie.

And as winner,
Jennie will enjoy

another month
of special privileges--

the employee of the month
parking spot

right in front
of the main entrance,

of course,
the Mega-Mart mug,

the, uh, gift certificate
for dinner for two

at the Lobster Barrel
on 17th Street.

Good only on weekdays
and does not include lobster.

And the winner's plaque,

which will be on display
right at the main entrance

for the entire month,

which should inspire
all of us

to reach deep inside us

so we can find
the best inside us

so we can do the best.

[Morris] Ha.

Well said.

Didn't Edna die
at the end of last month?

Yeah, that's right.

-[camera shutter clicks]
-[Brent] Here we go.

I can't believe
I found this.

This is

the performance chart
from last month.

See, Edna was out front.
She would have won.

You're not suggesting that
somebody was killed because of this?

You're saying Jennie Silverman
committed cold-blooded murder

just so she could be
employee of the month?

Why?

Heh. I don't know.

As employee of the month,
she gets a ceramic mug,

dinner for two

at the world-famous
Lobster Barrel,

and a plaque.

And, of course,
the thanks of a grateful nation.

[Joe laughs]

Do you really think there's
something here worth killing for?

Oh, yes. It's here.

We just can't see it.

What do you think?

I think Edna was
obviously killed for this mug.

-Really?
-No.

Well, maybe it's made out
of gold and painted over.

-Joe…
-[mug clinks]

Hey, you said try 300 theories
until one fits.

-I said that?
-Yeah.

I remember everything
you ever said, God help me.

It wasn't about the mug.

What's next?

Dinner for two
at the Lobster Barrel.

Tell me
about the Lobster Barrel.

It's a family place.

It's noisy,
there's a million kids.

You wouldn't last
five minutes there.

It's got a great
all-you-can-eat buffet

with seven different kinds
of shrimp.

They got jumbo shrimp,
batter-dipped shrimp, tempura shrimp--

Okay, stop telling me
about the Lobster Barrel.

-Barbecue shrimp--
-Stop.

What's next?

Eighty-nine-cent plastic
commemorative plaque.

Would you kill somebody
to get this?

I'd kill somebody
not to get it.

That's it.
That's what she gets.

Except, of course,
for the parking space.

[Joe] There it is.

Did you see that?

What, the speed bump?

Trucks are always scraping it
when they're loaded down.

I saw Jennie's van
scrape it two days ago.

You're right.
I've seen it, too.

But the first time
I saw her,

in the morning,

the van didn't scrape at all.

You remember a vehicle
not scraping on a speed bump?

Damn, I've missed you.

Her van is always heavier
at the end of the day. Why?

It's loaded down.

With what?

Oh, my God.

Do you remember
her two friends?

They were buying shovels
and drill bits.

There's a sewer grate
right under the van.

It was loaded down
with dirt!

They're digging into the vault.
They're robbing the bank.

She wanted
that parking space.

That's what this whole thing
has been about.

[Brent] Monk, I've been
looking for you.

Mr. Donovan,
where's Jennie?

Never mind Jennie. You're
supposed to be in housewares.

-There's inventory piled up--
-This is police business, understand?

-My partner asked you a question.
-[rumbling]

Was that an earthquake?

They blew the vault.
It's going down now.

That makes sense.
First of the month.

The bank's probably
loaded with cash.

What are you
talking about?

-I'll call it in.
-No, no, no.

They'll never make it in time.
Joe, I need a gun.

Sporting goods, aisle seven.

Gun?

What the hell is going on
in here? Let's go, go, go!

Hey! Hey, hey, Ronnie, Ronnie.

-Yes?
-Listen to me.

No, man, he's Ronnie.

Yeah, we switched name tags
to see if anybody would notice.

But don't tell anyone,

-because it's like an experiment, so--
-I'm in a rush here. I need a gun.

Oh, you finally decided to use
your employee discount, huh?

All right, all right, Mr. Monk,
what do you want?

-We got these--
-[Monk] I don't care!

Just give me something.
Look, it's a police emergency.

I'll bring it right back.

I need it
for two minutes, okay?

Yeah, that's going to be a problem,
'cause that's against, like,

a million federal laws
and regs.

[Morris] There's
supposed to be,

like, a waiting period
or something.

-Please--
-[Morris] You know what?

-Get you started on paperwork.
-No paperwork.

[Monk] No, no, no-- No paper--

No, I'll be right back.

[Ronnie] Let's--

Let's stay off the glass there.
I just washed that.

[Jennie] What the hell
were you doing in there?

This stuff's heavy.

Good.

Good. Heavy's good.

If it was up to us, dude,
you could totally have it,

but, uh, Mr. Donovan's been
riding us a lot lately.

-Okay.
-Yeah, like yesterday,

-when we were in housewares--
-For the love of God,

it's Jennie Silverman--
she's getting away!

-Oh. Oh, it's for Jennie?
-[laughing]

Yeah, we both had
the same thought.

Jennie's a real tool.

Yeah, but, man,
this is not the answer.

Whoa!

Morris…

He's Morris.

Ronnie…

Give me the ammo.

Okay, okay.
Calm down, man.

Yo, it wasn't even loaded.

I quit.

[tires squeal]

It's loaded!

[man] Get back!

[people clamoring]

[Joe] Loud.

[tires screech; siren whirrs]

[officer 1] Get out of the car!

[officer 2] Away from the vehicle!

[officer 1] Put your hands up
where I can see 'em! Hands up!

[officer 2] Hands over your head,
you in the driver's seat!

[Stottlemeyer]
Detective Joe Christie,

welcome back.

We could sure use you.

Congratulations.

Thank you, brother.

I wouldn't be here
if it wasn't for you.

You'll be next.

[Joe] She's right.

And when you make it back,

I get to ride with you.

Hey! Sharona,
Captain, everyone,

could you all
come with me, please?

Everybody, come here.

I want to show
you guys something.

[Stottlemeyer]
What is it?

Crystal.
She's downstairs.

[Sharona] Why didn't you
tell her to come up?

[Disher] She couldn't stay.
She's flying to Aruba for a photo shoot.

[Sharona] So sad.

-[Disher] There she is.
-[Monk] Where?

In the taxi.

-[Disher] Hey! Crystal!
-[Sharona] It's so pathetic…

Ah, she's waving.

Goodbye, Randy!
I love you!

I miss you already.

See? See--

Where are you going?
She's right here!

[Disher] What--?

Oh, come on.
She was just--

I swear to God,
she was just here!
