[grunting]

[woman] That, of course, is a clip

from the classic
Sonny Chow film called

Legend of the Cobra.

Gotta be one of my favorites.

We're talking with John Ricca.

He is the author
of a sensational new book

about the late, great
martial arts superstar,

called Paper Cobra.

I believe you're supposed to hold
the book up when you say that.

Oh, excuse me, sorry.

You know, John, this book
is very controversial.

[John] I hope so.

[host] In the book you claim

that many of Sonny Chow's stunts,

including the ones
we were just showing you,

were actually performed
by stunt doubles.

I don't just claim it. I prove it.

You say that, for most of his career,
Sonny Chow was addicted to morphine.

[John] Right.
That's what killed him.

Not a brain hemorrhage,
like the studio said.

We've all heard these rumors,

this notion that Sonny Chow
isn't actually dead.

The story goes
that a Hong Kong drug cartel

put a price on his head--

Believe me, Karen,
Sonny Chow is dead.

I talked to the medical examiner
who did the autopsy,

and I've seen the death certificate.

[Karen] Based on the way

you talk about Sonny Chow
in this book,

you better hope he's dead.

Idiot. That's the last time
I do your show.

-[knocking on door]
-[martial arts movie plays]

-[knocking continues]
-[men screech and grunt on TV]

Hello?

My God. Who are you?

What do you want?

What do you want?

No! No!

No!

No, this is impossible.

Chow, is that you?

No, no!

[man grunting]

Oh! Oh!

[John grunting]

Ah.

No, w-wait.
What's wrong with that one?

The "K" went below the line.

Don't throw it away, Mr. Monk.

Please, I am begging you.

We've been here for three hours.

We've paid two bills.

Well, I don't think
the bank will take this.

They'll cash it. I promise.

If I'm wrong, I'll pay
your water bill myself.

Let me just start over.

It'll only take a minute.

-What are you doing now?
-There you go.

-Don't, don't, don't, don't!
-Too late, already sealed it.

Do you want it?

You'll have to rip open the envelope.

Good.

All right, next thing.

Um… Here you go.

What-- What's this?

Those are my expenses.
They come to $310.

Oh… I don't pay those.

Mr. Monk, they're all business related.

Here, let me… um…

This is my gas bill

from driving you around all day.

-Uh-huh.
-This is my cell phone bill.

All these calls are from… you.

And this…

is from the drug store.

I'm buying over 200 wipes a week.

Here's the thing.

I pay you exactly what I paid Sharona.

I didn't pay her expenses.

Here's the thing.

I am not Sharona.

I'm an individual. I'm unique.

Don't ever compare me
to anybody else.

Sharona used to say
the exact same thing.

Word for word.

Isn't that funny?

Mr. Monk, are you gonna
reimburse me or not?

I would if I could.

But I can't afford it.

[cell phone ringing]

Oh, look, it's the captain.

It's probably about a job.

[ringing continues]

Aren't you gonna answer that?

Yeah, I don't wanna
go over my maximum minutes.

[ringing continues]

[ringing continues]

You've gotta be
the cheapest man I've ever met.

Hello? Yes, sir, he's right here.

That sounds fascinating.

Really?

Well, I hope the crime scene's
within walking distance,

'cause I'm not driving him!

Get a list of tenants.
Start knocking on doors.

Lieutenant, I thought you
had the perimeter.

Fist of the Cobra, 1975.

I've got that same poster
in my room.

Oh, look at this.

That's from Ten Fingers of Doom.

He broke his arm doing that stunt.

He still finished the scene, though.

Oh, my God.

What?

He's got a bootleg copy
of Enter the Cobra.

Can I have this?

No, you can't have it, Detective.

This is a crime scene.

Let's watch it.

Fine, I'll put it back.

Sir… I've got a theory on this.

This guy John Ricca,

he just published a book
about Sonny Chow, right?

Right. Well, it's a real hatchet job.

I mean, it made the Cobra look terrible.

The Cobra? Sonny Chow.

I mean, maybe we should be
looking for a Sonny Chow fan.

I mean, they all hated the book.

And most of them are pretty nuts.

I see them at conventions all the time.
They are real fanatics.

Captain.

Monk, thank you for coming.

Ms. Teeger.

I assume that they
filled you in downstairs.

More or less.
How did he enter the building?

He broke through a door on the roof

around 4:00 a.m.

But get this--
when he left after the murder,

he took the elevator down
and ran out.

-He didn't mind being seen?
-Uh-uh.

Was he really killed with nunchucks?

Yeah. Check this out.

Gold plated.

Look at those insignias.

Sonny used a pair just like these
in Ninja Fury.

The killer left these behind?

Well, they either belonged
to the killer or to the victim.

I mean, he was writing
a book on all of this crap.

Captain, here's
the videotape you wanted.

Ah, thank you.

Elevator "B" at 4:07.

Let's have a look.

Can't even see his face.

He looks like the Cobra.

Sonny wore a uniform like that
in Kung Fu Assassin.

Sonny Chow is dead.

Doctor, give me the good news.

He was clutching some hair.

He must have grabbed it
off the killer's head.

That means we have
a good shot at some DNA.

How could he grab any hair?

We just saw the tape.

The intruder was wearing a hood.

Well, it could have
fallen off during the fight.

It gets weirder.

The victim wrote you a note.

"Ow."

Why would anybody write "ow"?

Usually, that's something you'd say.

Oh, my God.

Chow-- he's alive.

Sir, if the rumors are true,

he's been hiding out overseas,

just waiting for the right time
to make a comeback.

Captain, he's alive.

Nah. Nah, there's gotta be
another explanation, right?

Wipe.

Oh! You know what?

These are mine. I paid for them.

[doorbell rings]

Captain.

Hey, got a minute?

Sure.

What are you doing?

Oh, nothing, I was just…

polishing the light bulbs.

What's going on?

Uh, you remember that convention

I went to in Atlanta
about three years ago?

Well, something happened there
that I didn't tell you about.

I landed, I hailed a cab,

and I recognized the cab driver.

It was Harold Burnshaw.

Burnshaw?

Burnshaw-- he used to be a fed.
He was a real player.

He used to head the FBI's
field office in Atlanta

until the 1996 Olympic games.

The plaza bombing?

Exactly.

They accused the wrong guy.

Burnshaw booted it big time
on network television.

Instant career killer.
Now he's driving a cab.

Monk, you should have seen his face.
I'll never forget it.

Well, what does this have to do with--

Twenty years ago, Sonny Chow
froze some of his own blood

in the event that he needed surgery.

So they've got bulletproof DNA
for a comparison.

And that's a prelim on the hair
we found at the crime scene.

It's a match.

It's Sonny Chow's hair.

No question about it.

He's been dead for six years,
and he's my primary suspect.

Yeah.

Now, if I go public with this,
and I'm wrong,

I'm gonna wind up at the airport,

picking up cops who still have jobs.

Can you help me with this?

I mean, I've gotta know.

I've gotta be certain--
is this guy alive or dead?

[Natalie] I thought Sonny Chow
lived in Hollywood.

[Monk] No, he lived in this house

before he became famous.

And he moved back here
when he was sick.

According to his file,
this is where he died.

Or did he?

Whoooooo!

Don't! Don't do that.

What's this guy's name?

Zee Tai Wen.

They call him Master Zee.

He was Sonny Chow's mentor.

If Chow is still alive,

Master Zee would know it.

Mr. Monk, can we please

-talk about reimbursing me?
-Not now.

Hello. We phoned earlier.

I'm Adrian Monk.
This is Natalie Teeger.

We're helping the police

with a very important matter.

How are you?

I am well.

Hello.

How are you?

[Monk] How are you?

[disciple] Do not be insulted.

Wee Ling has not spoken in nine years.

A vow of silence.

He is cleansing his soul.

You should give that a shot.

We were hoping to speak
with Master Zee.

Please.

Come in.

The master always has time
for a stranger in need.

Please, remove your shoes.

Oh.

Oh… here's the thing.

I'd rather not, if that's okay.

No exceptions, Mr. Monk.

Even the master's feet are bare.

I understand.

Here's the thing.

I'm a little… shy.

I never-- I never go barefoot.

It's true. I've never seen his feet.

I've never seen my feet.

For all I know, I could have 18 toes.

He's-- he's good.

So… you are refusing.

Not just that.

Uh, I would like to ask all of you,

as a favor, as a personal favor,

to put your shoes back on.

If that's not too much trouble.

[man] I am sorry, Mr. Monk,

but I must ask both of you to leave.

Where are you going?
It's not that big a deal.

Just take off the shoes.

-Take them off.
-Okay!

Okay.

Um, have the rugs been cleaned

recently and shampooed?

I don't know.

Has the master heard of athlete's foot?

Because the fungus

and the bacteria can get up
in between the toes.

Oh, for Christ's sake,
just take 'em off!

Wee Ling.

You have spoken.

You must begin again.

Oh, forget it.

Nine years, huh?

[Monk] Please don't look.

[Natalie] You have nice feet.

You shouldn't be embarrassed.

[Monk groans]

Students from around the world

come to study at Master Zee's feet.

His bare feet?

That is correct.

This is where Sonny Chow
learned the art of Bow Yu Chuan.

This is where he became the Cobra.

Did you know him?

Can one man truly know another man?

Okay, but did you ever meet him?

Yes… once, near the end.

He was very sick, could not speak.

But his spirit was strong.

He was a great man.

There's a rumor that he is still alive.

Sonny Chow is alive in all of us.

Right, right, right.

Is he here? Right here, right now.

You're a very curious man, Mr. Monk.

[Natalie] He certainly is.

Let me ask you--
are you guys reimbursed

for your business-related expenses?

-Natalie.
-Like your laundry

and all these boards
that everybody's breaking.

-Who pays for that stuff?
-Natalie.

Please stay here.

I will see if Master Zee is ready for you.

I told you I cannot
afford to pay your expenses.

Okay, then, what about this?

I do your bills, if you remember.

This is a rent receipt.

You're renting an office downtown

-for $600 a month.
-That's right.

When was the last time
you were there?

I-- I never use it.

It's just sitting there, empty?

I could really use that money, Mr. Monk.

-I don't want to talk about it.
-You don't want to talk about it.

All right, then let's do this.

We'll ask the wizard what he thinks,

and then we'll both agree
to do whatever he says.

First off, he is not a wizard.

We are not over the rainbow.

We're in the middle
of a homicide investigation.

This is a serious matter.

I'm going to ask him.

-Don't ask him.
-I'm asking him.

[grunts]

[screams]

[groaning]

What did you do?

Sorry…

It was a little off-center.

It was not,

you know, in harmony.

[student whimpering]

Master will see you now.

[student crying]

[student 2] Hyuh! Hyuh!

Oof!

[student grunting]

A great sorrow has entered this room.

That would be me.

And there is a woman with you.

She is very beautiful.

How can you tell?

I could hear Mr. Huang's heart
beating faster.

Now that I see you,

it is obvious why.

[laughs]

Master Zee, my name is Adrian Monk.

This is Natalie Teeger.

We would like to ask you some questions

about Sonny Chow.

You were his teacher?

That is true.

But I also learned from him.

[Monk] A man was murdered
two nights ago,

and there is evidence

that Sonny Chow was responsible.

Cobra is dead, Mr. Monk.

Are you sure about that?

He died in my arms, six years ago.

I felt his spirit leaving his body.

If he were still alive,

and you were hiding him,

that would be a very serious crime.

It would be worse than a crime.

It would be a lie.

A man who speaks only the truth

has nothing to fear.

Don't you agree?

Yes, I do.

I'm sorry I disappointed you.

But I am feeling something else.

Oh, my.

A troubled soul.

You are on a quest, Mr. Monk.

That's right.

You live in a very dark place.

The darkness is your fear.

Take this as a gift.

Light is your weapon, Mr. Monk.

Be the light.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Mr. Master Man.

I am also troubled.

He's not paying me what he promised.

-That is not true.
-Could you please talk to him?

There is no way
I can cover my expenses.

Master Zee, I pay her exactly
what I paid my other assistant.

Which is why she had to quit.

[Monk] That's not the reason, really.

It was a factor.

-I don't think you really understand--
-Excuse me.

Ms. Teeger…

This man is your employer.

He's your master.

It is your job
to serve him unquestioningly.

Mr. Monk, you should not
pay her any more money.

Okay.

She must learn that true wealth

is in the heart, not in the bank.

It's-- it's not in the bank.

All right.

You-- you are a wise and learned man.

[scoffs]

As are you.

It must be a tremendous burden

to possess such wisdom.

It is a gift.

-And a curse.
-Exactly.

Okay. Oh my God, get a room, really.

I would. Just get it over with.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello.

What is it?

He's alive!

Sonny Chow is alive.

He pulled an Elvis--
faked his own death.

He pulled an Elvis?

Yeah, check this out.

Six years ago,
a man named Joseph Lee

disappeared from
a homeless shelter in the Presidio

one day before
Sonny Chow, quote, "died."

They were the same height
and the same weight.

Could be a coincidence.

Well, we're about to find out.

We just got a court order
to exhume the body.

They're digging it up now.

Lieutenant, you understand
if Sonny Chow is alive,

he's murdered at least two people.

-Uh-huh.
-You'd have to arrest him.

I'd get to meet him.

He might try to kill you.

Think so?

Wow, that would be
so cool-- Sonny Chow.

[machine whirring]

[Monk] Captain. How you feeling?

I'm a nervous wreck.

How'd things go with the zen master?

Well, he said Sonny Chow
died in his arms.

I believe him.

Good… well, at least the press
hasn't got wind of this yet.

Once they do, it's gonna be like

Christmas morning for those vultures.

Look at that thing.

Oh, yeah. His fan club from
the Philippines paid for it.

Be careful with that.

Tell them to be careful with that.

-What did you say?
-You want to be careful with that.

I been doing this job
since I was 18 years old.

I think I know what I'm doing.

I don't come to your station house

and tell you how to beat
a confession out of some kid.

Do I know you?

Maybe you do.

You're Chris Downey.

They let you out?

I did my time. Now I'm doing my job.
At least, I'm trying to.

I busted this lowlife

for assault and armed robbery.

Got me on the assault.
There was no robbery.

We never did
recover the jewels you stole.

Allegedly stole.

Allegedly. I love that word.

All righty.

What do you think?

I think he's in there.

For how much?

Mr. Monk, this was not
in my job description.

Let's get out of here.

Oh, I'm okay.

What a beautiful pancreas.

Okay, here we go.

-Hello.
-Oh, my God.

We're so sorry to disturb you.

Okay, you're the expert.
Is it him or not?

It's just hard to say.

I mean, Sonny had a lot more hair.

And skin.

We'll know soon enough.

It'll take two minutes to compare these

with his old dental records.

[Stottlemeyer] I'm going with you.

Me too.

Look, I'm crazy about spleens.

Why don't you ask,
and maybe they'll give you one.

You can keep it
in your office downtown.

It's not my office.

What do you mean,
it's not your office?

It's Trudy's office.

Yeah, all her things are in there.

Her books and her pictures.

Her files.

I can't give it up.

It's Trudy's office?

Sonny, is there an echo in here?

She died nine years ago, right?

That's right.

You've been keeping
an office downtown for nine years.

Meanwhile,
I'm counting pennies at Safeway?

Get rid of the office!

Put her stuff in storage or in an attic.

-I'll do it for you.
-I can't.

You can't, or you won't?

I can't! And I won't.

So you're just gonna
have to deal with that.

I quit my job over this!

Ow, that hurt!

Oh, it's only a pillow.

Well, it hurt.

It came from the coffin?

That's a death pillow!

You hit me with a death pillow?!

Give me a wipe!

-Wipe!
-I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I hit you
with the death pillow!

Mr. Monk, I lost my husband.

I know what you're going through.

But I have a daughter to think about.

If you don't cover these expenses,

I can't work for you.

But it's Trudy's office.

It is official.

Sonny Chow is dead.

So it is him.

Yeah, it's a positive ID.

All the X-rays match.

Well, that was the opposite of fun.

So I guess we're back to square one.

Lieutenant, see that Mr. Chow

makes it back to the cemetery,

and tell my old pal Chris Downey

to stick him back in his hole.

Yes, sir.

-Well, I guess I'm off the hook.
-Yeah.

But what the hell's going on here, Monk?

Somebody, somehow got a hold
of a few strands of Sonny Chow's hair

and left them at the crime scene.

Yeah, but why would anybody
want to frame a guy

that's been dead for six years?

[Monk] I don't know.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant.

Yeah, well, at least I got to have
my picture with Sonny Chow.

You took a picture?!

-Yeah. Maybe I'll donate it.
-What?

There's a Sonny Chow museum
in Daly City.

Probably give me
a lifetime pass for this.

There's a museum?

Hello?

Looks like we missed the crowd.

[coin rattles]

It says $5.

Suggested donation.

I considered their suggestion.

I appreciate their suggestion.

I decided to give less.

I have a suggestion for you.

Oh! Hey!

I didn't hear you come in.

Welcome to Cobra's Lair.
I'm Eddie Frankel. I'm the proprietor.

You can ask me anything about Sonny Chow.

I've been a Corbrahead ever
since I saw Fist of the Cobra

the first time, when I was 12.

You guys big Sonny Chow fans?

I guess you are,
or you wouldn't be here.

-We're not--
-We have the second-largest collection

of Sonny Chow memorabilia
in the country.

Here's an interesting fact.

Most people think Jackie Chan
invented the martial arts style

commonly referred to as Wing Fu Do!

But Sonny was doing
triple roundhouse kicks

as early as 1968.

Watch the opening scene
in Night of the Cobra

-if you don't believe me.
-We believe you.

I'm Adrian Monk.
And this is Natalie Teeger.

[Frankel] Here's a pamphlet.

Tells about upcoming special events.
Got a floor plan of the museum.

We used to have a self-guided tour,

but my stupid cousin borrowed
my headphones, never returned 'em.

Oh, hey, almost forgot.

Stamp the back of your hand,
in case you come back.

That's not really necessary.

Oh, here, here, you can stamp mine.

Okay, well, um,
most people start over here.

They work their way counterclockwise.

As you see,
it's arranged chronologically

from the birth of the Cobra
until six years ago,

when he faked his death
and went underground.

Ah, here. This is Sonny Chow's
actual birth certificate.

His real name was what?
Anybody? Anybody?

-[Monk] Um--
-That's right! Chow Chiang Wu.

He was born here in San Francisco,
but raised in Hong Kong.

We're really not here
to see the museum today.

We're working with the police
on a homicide investigation.

Homicide? You mean murder?

Eddie, where were you
Tuesday night around midnight?

I was at home, watching Blood Rage II.

No, III.

I guess both.

-Were you alone?
-No.

I was watching with my girlfriend.

And what's her name?

Natalie.

[Monk] Eddie…

Eddie, is there anything missing
from the museum?

Like what?

Like a personal item of Sonny Chow's.

A piece of clothing or-- or a hat.

Something that might have
had his hair on it.

No. There was a break-in last week.

Somebody pried open the back door,
but they didn't take anything.

Excuse me-- remember,
you're supposed to go counterclockwise.

Is this his hairbrush?

[Frankel] Oh, that's right!

Sonny used that brush

while he was filming
Death and the Darkness in 1985.

I bought it from
his personal hairstylist.

That's his actual hair in the bristles.

-Could I see that?
-Sure.

"Made in Croatia."

So?

Croatia's a new country.

It didn't exist till 1992.

Oh, my God. I've been rooked!

He sold me a phony hairbrush.

I don't think so.

Somebody picked this lock.

Someone broke in here.

Took the real brush.

Replaced it with this one.

My God.

What?

I've got it.

At least, I think I do.

We've gotta get back
to the Fair Lawn Cemetery.

[Frankel] Wait, wait, wait!
Did you say Fair Lawn Cemetery?

That's where Sonny Chow's
empty coffin is buried.

You see, the Hong Kong
drug cartel, they own 20--

Eddie, Eddie! Sonny Chow is dead.

We dug him up three hours ago.

He's dead.

It can't be true.

Sorry, Eddie.

[coin rattles]

Feel this one.

I don't want
to feel the pillow, Mr. Monk.

It's after 5:00.

Soft, huh?

They're all so soft.

I'm sure they are, but I told you,

I have to have an answer
by the end of today.

Natalie…

Natalie,
that pillow you threw at me,

the one from the coffin?
I think there was something in it.

That's why it hurt.
Here's what happened.

That gravedigger, Chris Downey.

The one Captain Stottlemeyer--

I don't really care
about the case, Mr. Monk!

Julie is at home waiting for me.

So what's the deal?

Are you gonna
pay for my expenses or not?

I'm sorry.

So that's it.

Well, I'm sorry too, Mr. Monk.

I guess this is good-bye.

It was nice working with you.

Uh, Natalie…

I-- I solved the case!

Aren't you interested?

I'm interested.

[thudding]

[thudding]

[dirt falling]

[Natalie] Mr. Monk?

Hello?

Listen, I'm really sorry
that I ran out like that.

I--

Mr. Monk?!

Mr. Monk!

[birds chirping]

Trudy.

Hello, Adrian.

Where are we?

We're near the botanical gardens.

You remember that Sunday

we just walked
and walked and walked?

[Monk] I loved that day.

That was the best day of my life.

Darling, I think you should
put the candle out.

It's using up all the oxygen.

No, I don't care.

I don't know!
I don't know what happened.

He said something
about that gravedigger Downey.

I left for maybe 30 minutes,

and when I came back, he was gone!

So what-- what do I do?

[Trudy] What do you think?

I-- I can't do it.

I can't do it.

Adrian… I'm not 25 anymore.

We need to talk about this sometime.

What kind of father would I be?

You know what my family was like.

Our children will be
much happier than you were.

I promise.

[children shouting]

We should have said yes.

I should have said… yes.

Turn off the motor,
throw your keys out the window!

Show me your hands, Downey!

Show me your hands!
Get out of the car!

Get out of the car!

Natalie, stay back. Stay back.

-[grunts]
-Where's Monk?

What'd you do with him?

Relax, Captain. He's still alive.

-For now.
-Where is he?

What did you do with him?

You'll be saving both your lives.

You wanna find your friend,
I want something too.

I want a car to the airport.

I'm already packed.

I want a jet that can fly

2,000 miles without refueling.

When I'm in the air, I'll tell you, "A,"

where I'm going,

and "B," where you can dig up--

uh, dig…

You can dig…

I think he's having a heart attack.

-Downey! Downey!
-He's got no pulse.

[Natalie] Don't die on us!
Don't die on us!

[Stottlemeyer]
Where's Monk?! Downey!

Where's Monk?! Where's Monk?!

[Trudy] We both know
what's happening here, Adrian.

You're having what Dr. Kroger
would call a psychotic break

as a defense mechanism.

How long do you have?

Uh, there's 50 cubic feet
of air in the coffin.

Thirty-five minutes, maybe forty.

Let's talk about something else.

How did you know
it was the gravedigger?

I noticed the stamp

on the back of his hand.

[Monk] At the time,
I didn't think anything about it.

Then, later, I saw the exact same stamp

on Natalie's hand.

So you knew Chris Downey
had been to the museum.

That's right.

He stole Sonny Chow's hairbrush.

Because he needed Chow's DNA.

So he could frame him for murder.

But why Sonny Chow?

So the police would exhume his body.

It all started six years ago.

I remember the case.

Downey had stolen a half a million
in jewels from a courier.

During the getaway,

he assaulted an off-duty cop.

He was convicted on the assault.

They couldn't get him on the robbery.

[Trudy] They never found
the diamonds.

[Monk] Exactly.

He was working here at the cemetery.

Before he went home,
he must have stopped here

-and hid the jewels.
-[Trudy] Where?

[Monk] In Sonny Chow's coffin.

It was perfect.

Chow was scheduled
to be buried the next day.

Downey figured he could always
come back and dig it up,

even five or six years later.

You felt them in the pillow case.

You felt them when
Natalie hit you in the back.

That's right.

I want that back hoe running!

Ready and running! Keep it running!

All right, listen up!

We figure he's got
about 40 minutes of air

if he's not panicking.

So figure on 15 minutes.

This is Monk!
I want the best you got.

So we're gonna spread out,

and we're gonna work the grid,
all right?

We're looking for
fresh dirt, tire tracks,

boot prints, anything!

-Go, go!
-Captain, there's a problem.

The cemetery's just expanded.

They just tore down
a restaurant over there.

It's all dug up.
It's like an acre and a half.

Monk could be anywhere.

Captain, it's already been 20 minutes.

Even if we find him,
he'll be a basket case.

Hang on, everybody! This way!

Let's go!

So Chris Downey
went to prison for six years.

[Monk breathing hard]
He was paroled six weeks ago.

When he came back
to dig up the jewels,

he must have had
the shock of his life.

[Trudy] The monument?

[Monk] Exactly.

While he was gone,
some fan club…

put up a monument.

Solid granite.

Weighed… three… tons.

He realized… he couldn't…

dig the coffin up, at least not quietly.

Or by himself.

[panting]
So he got his old job… back,

at the cemetery…

and then…
framed Sonny Chow for murder.

And got the police…

to dig up the jewels…

[wheezing] for him.

Congratulations, Detective.

A lot of good it does me here.

Okay, darling, shh.

I can't breathe.

It's all right.

[panting] Adrian… Adrian…

-I can't…
-Okay, save your breath.

Breathe. Save your breath.

It's all right.

Should we bring in the cadaver dogs?

Not yet.

[car horn honks]

The traffic light's out.

Huh?

That traffic light is out!

It was working three hours ago
when I got here.

Son of a bitch!

What? What?

I think he cut the power line
when he was digging the hole!

Dig along here!

Over here! Over here!

He cut the cable! Everyone!

Start there! There, there!

Dig along this line!

Find the power cable!

You're so… beautiful--

Shh.

I should have taken more pictures.

Darling, don't talk.

Don't talk.

Anything?

I'm not sure.

Captain!

He's talking.

He's talking?

He's saying…

"I love you."

Over here! Over here!

Get that back hoe over here now!

Here, here!

Adrian.

Adrian, listen!

Listen, they're digging.
They're coming for you.

Natalie must have come back
to look for you.

That's how they knew you were missing.

-Natalie came back?
-Adrian, listen to me.

I want you to do something for me.

I want you to close my office
and pay her what she needs.

I can't close it.

It's just four walls and a door.
It means nothing.

Adrian, you have to go now.

-No, no.
-Adrian, you have to go.

Oh, no.

You have to go.

Oh! No.

I love you.

I love you.

[paramedic] He's breathing!
Get him some oxygen!

Call Dr. Charles Kroger.
Tell him to meet us at the hospital.

He's smiling.

I've never seen him look happier.

Well, I guess that's it.

Oh. Sir, sir, sir.

The thumbtacks?

Yeah. We're taking everything.

Okay?

Let's go.
