MONK Season 3 Epi. 07
Monk and the Employee of the Month

Over there, over there.

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?

Take your pick.

We got a whole store full of them.

The police are in the back.

On the loading dock.

Ignore it.

You don't have to pop them all.

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, uh,

42-inch flat-screen TV fell on her.

She was killed instantly.

That's horrible.

Does the TV still work?

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 D. A. called you.

We're wrapping up our tent.

There's nothing to see here.

No, no, the D. A. didn't call me.

It was the store security
manager, right?

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

Well, there's a reason for that, Monk.

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

Who was it?

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.

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 21/2 kilos of uncut cocaine.

The drugs disappeared magically.

They never made it to the evidence room.

What about the cops?

Well, without the drugs,
the dealer walked.

He got pulled over a month later
for a routine traffic violation,

and he shot two good cops.
I knew one of them.

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.
- 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.

So, uh, what, are you going
to pop all of these?

No choice.

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.

- 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.

No. No, I can't, can't do it.
I can't, I can't work with him.

We're pouring two jigsaw
puzzles out, 500 pieces each.

Now we're mixing them together.

Okay, open your eyes.

Ready...
Go.

- Is he a robot?
- No, he's a person.

Wow. What else can he do?

He vacuums a lot,
and he solves murders.

You could sell tickets to this.

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.

- 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.

27 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.

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 who
was killed on the loading dock.

Well, accordingto the M. E.,
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 mens wear department all day?

Excuse me, where is the paint thinner?

Aisle two, back of the store.

- Thank you very much.
- Have a Mega Mart day.

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.

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.

- Who are they?
- One is Ronnie, one is Morris.

I forget which is which.
I'm not sure they know which is which.

I mean, 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.

Hi, 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 4.
- What?

- Why would you say that?
- No reason.

Thank you for...

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

And we are looking at...

101/2 wide there.

Cleanup on aisle four.
Cleanup on aisle four.

I got it!
I got it. Mine.

Coming through.
I called it.

Coming through.
Excuse me. It's mine.

Who is that man?

What is your problem?

It doesn't have to be perfect.

Well, as long as we're here,

we might as well do the job right.

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 spic and span.

She was a regular profectionist.

You mean perfectionist.

I'm not one, so I can say
it any damn way I want.

Great, okay,
you almost got it.

Just a little bit higher.

All right, buddy, okay.

He's right there,
right there.

You rock.
You rock, dude.

Try for the cheese crackers.

Can't reach it.

- How about chuckles?
- 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.

Donovan's looking
for you guys.

Yeah, well, we're on break.

You already took your break.
If you're not out there in two minutes,

I'm going to report you both.

What a tool!

Who is she?

Jennie silvertool.

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?

Maybe she got religion.

Yeah, 'cause, like,
two months ago,

she suddenly started punching in early
and working all late and stuff like that.

Hmm.

Looks like you have
some competition.

This is basically hose central,

so if you got a hose,

this is where it goes.

- Mr. Donovan is very, very...
- Down.

What is it?
What?

- Dude, those are the guys.
- What guys?

The guys who beat me up
in the parking lot.

When was this?

Couple of months ago.

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.
- You're right.

You, uh, find everything
you were looking for? / Sure.

- 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 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.

They 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.

I've never seen you this quiet.

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 upmy 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 hope I do not have to
take it out to prove it to you.

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.

- 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.
- All right.

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.

Oh.
Thank god.

Of course...
I, I knew it.

- I knew it all along.
- Of course you did. Yeah.

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 can 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.

Attention, Mega Mart customers!
Door will be closing in 10 minutes.

Good, good, good dog.

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.

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.

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 the two years
that I was at the academy.

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?

The last I saw him, he was in the
shoe department putting boxes away.

- He's putting boxes away?
- Yeah.

Oh, god.

I think we better start ordering.

Oh, it's the store.

Well, ask him what's keeping him.

Hello?

Randy?
What the hell is...

- Come on.
- What? /- Come on.

Hey!
Over here! Over here, huh?

Huh? Fresh meat.

Fresh meat!
Come on! Come on!

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.

Hey...
He saved your life.

Maybe you can return the favor.

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.

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 / Yep!

- a few days later?
- 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.

Toplin.

Clara toplin used to be the
properties clerk here.

She quit about four years ago.

That's right.

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.

Joe...

I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry.

That's a good start.

Come on.

You don't want to wipe that off?

No.
I don't.

Let's get back to work.

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.

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 it,
the best inside us

so we can do the best.

Well said. / Didn't Edna die
at the end of last month?

Yeah, that's right.

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?

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.

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...

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?

89 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.

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.

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.
Do you understand?

My partner asked you a question.

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, 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, Mr. Monk,
what do you want?

We got these...
I don't care!

Just give me something.

Look, it's a police emergency.

I'll bring it right back.

I just need it for two minutes, okay?

Yeah, that's going to be a problem,

because that's against, like,
a million federal laws and regulations.

Yeah, there's supposed to be,
like, a waiting period or something.

- Please...
- No, but you know what?

We'll get you started on your
paperwork. / No paperwork.

No, no, no. No paper...
No, / I'll be right back.

It's.../ Stay off the glass there.
I just washed that.

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.

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?

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.

It's loaded!
Get back!

Loud.

Get out of the car!

Away from the vehicle!

Put your hands up where
I can see them! Hands up!

Hands over your head,

you in the driver's seat!

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.

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.

- What is it?
- Crystal. She's downstairs.

Why didn't you tell her
to come up here?

She couldn't stay.

She's flying to Aruba
for a photo shoot.

- So sad.
- There she is.

- Where?
- In the taxi.

- Hey! Crystal!
- It's so pathetic...

- Huh, she's waving.
- Goodbye, Randy! I love you!

- I miss you already.
- See?

Where are you going?
She's right here!

What?

Oh, come on. She was just...
I swear to god, she was just here!
