The stove.

Over here, it's in the kitchen.

No, I mean my stove.

I think I left it on.

It's OK.

I checked it as we were leaving.

Are you sure? Did
you turn the knob?

Yeah.

The little knob, though?

I turned all the knobs.

The stove is off, Adrian.

Of course, Sharona meant well.

She had no way of
knowing my stove had

already been recalled twice...

once in 1986 for a
faulty pilot light

and again in 1998 for a loose
bracket on the oven door.

For nearly a decade,
that particular model...

the Kitchen King 480
with the digital timer

and self-cleaning oven...

was the best-selling
appliance in North America.

I bought mine on March 1, 1985,

from Carl's Appliances
on Rockaway Boulevard.

I had it for 22 years.

It was one of the longest
relationships of my life,

and certainly one
of the happiest.

"It was one of the longest
relationships of my life

"and certainly one
of the happiest.

"The repairman
confirmed my suspicion.

"The manifold valve in
the right front burner

"had rusted through.

"I guess everyone
remembers where they were

"when Kitchen King discontinued

their deluxe
six-burner flattop."

I'm sorry, I cannot
publish this.

Too long?

Does it come with a forklift?

Thank you, Terry.

No, it's not just about
the length, Adrian.

We hired you to write
about your career

as a police detective.

You solved 140 homicides.

That's the story we
paid for, not this.

Oh, here, in chapter four,

you have two paragraphs
about the suspect

and seven, eight, nine pages

about his vacuum cleaner.

We have the same vacuum cleaner,

the exact same model.

What are the odds of that?

One in six?

Terrence.

Maybe I need an editor.

You've had five editors
and two ghostwriters.

They all quit.

The last one changed his
name and moved to Guam.

I've talked to the lawyers.

You're legally in breach.

We need our advance back.

Advance... you mean the money?

It's not my decision.

I'm sorry, Adrian.

No, no, no, no.

No, Beth, you can't do that.

Here's the thing.

Molly's getting
married in six weeks.

- Molly?
- Trudy's daughter.

I didn't even know about
her until 12 years ago.

It's all in the book.

I mean, it will
be, in volume two.

Is there something
wrong with the chair?

It's not plumb with Terry's.

It should be plumb.

Maybe you could lower yours.

- Why?
- To make it plumb.

You'll thank me later.

Oh, please don't.

[grunts]

You gotta pull up on the lever.
- I just... I'm good.

Maybe I'll just stand.

Maybe we should all stand.

Here's the thing.
Molly is all I have.

She's all I have left.

She practically saved my life.

When COVID hit, I was
in pretty bad shape.

Molly moved in with me.

She never left my side
for a year and a half.

She's only ever asked
me for one thing,

to pay for her wedding.

I'll do whatever you want.
I'll rewrite the book.

I'm sorry, Adrian.
It's just too late.

It's been ten years.

The name Adrian Monk
used to mean something.

It's a different world now.

Everyone's moved on.

I have an idea. May
I make a suggestion?

You both leave the room, and
someone different comes in

and says different things to me.

- That's not gonna happen.
- How about this?

You leave the room,

and nobody comes back in, ever.

I think we're done here.

Our lawyers will be in touch.

that cocaine would

have been a cheaper habit.

His name's Lucas Kubrick.

Guess where he works.

I don't know.

Do you really want me to guess?

Oh, my deputies love it
when I make them guess.

No, they don't. They hate it.

Randy, where does he work?

He's a delivery

Guy works for Rick Eden.

Yes, he is.

He's good people.

You'll see.

I am thrilled that you

I've just sealed the

Rick just bought
"The Atlantic."

Whoa!

Not the ocean, Randy.

It's a magazine.

Mr. Monk, I assume
you take it neat?

I'll pass.

You know, I cannot tell you what

an honor it is to have the
great Adrian Monk in my house.

You know, when I first
moved here in 2002,

you were already a legend.

For a while there, it
seemed that you were solving

a major case every week.

Thank you. I couldn't
have done it alone.

Well, maybe I could have,

but it would have
taken a lot longer.

Well, I'll leave you kids to it.

I'm going for a swim.

In the ocean, not the magazine.

[laughs] I like her.

- As do I.
- Hey, why don't we sit?

Rick's a little
pressed for time.

For the record,
Rick is seeing you

as a courtesy to me.

He barely knew Griffin Briggs.

I only met him once
at the launch site.

I spent about 20 minutes
with him, maybe less.

His fiancée, Molly Evans,
said that you threatened him.

No, I don't threaten people.

She must have been distraught,
which is hardly surprising.

People deal with grief in
different ways, don't they?

Ah, the Napoleon pastries.

I have these flown in from
the Du Majeur in Paris.

Help yourself.

I'm on the...

I'm on the billion-dollar diet.

First, you make a

and then it doesn't

[laughs] Billion-dollar diet.

[laughs]

This is a picture
of Lucas Kubrick.

He was on the bridge the
day Griffin Briggs died.

Do you know him?

I don't. Should I know him?

He works for you.

[chuckles]

Mr. Monk, my company
employs 1.2 million people.

It's a larger workforce than
the U.S. Postal Service.

I can hardly be expected to
recognize every deliveryman

on the payroll, sir.

You know, I'm sorry, but
I really think that you're

wasting your time here.

In fact, worse than that,

you're certainly
wasting my time.

Why would I be
bothered about a story

on a wonky little website
that, what, 30 people read?

Well, it wasn't
just another story.

When Mr. Truesmith
drowned, you inherited

his half of the company.

It's a pretty strong motive.

According to Griffin,
the charter boat crew

was paid off with money
from an offshore bank.

Hearsay, stories,
blind speculation.

People write things
about me every day.

It's a national pastime.

I understand there was a
story about me in the "Times"

just this morning.

Yes, I read it.

Oh, and do you think
they did me justice?

Do you deserve justice?

Excuse me, Monk.

Can I talk to you for a second?

What the hell are you doing?

We were told that this was
not a formal interview,

that you were just going
through the motions

to reassure Molly.

That's what it was, at first.

I can't believe
we're even having

this conversation, Monk.

The man was bungee jumping.

He voluntarily jumped
off of a bridge.

I know.

You just accused Rick Eden
of orchestrating his murder.

Why?

Because he couldn't recognize
one of his delivery drivers?

How did he know Lucas Kubrick
was a delivery driver?

I didn't tell him.
- Well, it's a pretty safe bet.

Most of his employees are.

Actually, it's less than 30%.

OK, well, the man misspoke.

Slip of the tongue.

Plus, there's the motive.

Then, there's his choice
of reading material.

It's Griffin.

All right, well, the guy
was doing some research.

He was curious.
Doesn't mean anything.

"The Death of Socrates."

Is that the original?

I'm sure it is.

OK, Monk, how about this?

We call the new chief of
detectives, Captain Rudner.

She's good... almost
as good as I was.

We run this whole thing by
her and see what she says, OK?

Monk?

What do you think
hemlock tastes like?

[soft music]

Now, I have a policy.

When Leland Stottlemeyer
asks for help,

I drop whatever the hell I'm
doing, and I make it happen.

I appreciate that.

Good, now prove it.

Next time we're at Dino's,
try reaching for a damn check.

Share some of that
private sector booty.

Will do. Yes, ma'am.

And when Leland
says he's bringing

his friend, Adrian Monk,
we roll out the red carpet.

I have your visitor pass.

Oh, visitor.

This one is yours.

It's a permanent pass.

That's because we
want you back here,

Adrian, consulting for us.

It's where you belong.

It's not just me.

These folks want you back too.

This is my freezer.

22 open homicides, 22
victims who need your help.

I wish I could.

Here's the thing.

I have plans.

Again with the plans?

He never goes anywhere.

Well, keep the
pass, just in case.

Captain? Whenever
you're ready.

We've got the Vinton
Creek Bridge the day of.

We tracked down 14 witnesses.

Eight of them were
recording, so we pretty much

have the whole scene.

Oh, there's Molly.

As you can see, Griffin
arrives at 2:12.

He's already
wearing the harness,

and he's got the
bungee cord with him,

keeps it with him
the whole time.

No one else touches it.

That's our guy.

That's Kubrick.

I've been watching
this all morning.

Kubrick and Griffin
don't interact at all.

They don't talk.

They're never within
four feet of each other.

I'd still like to talk to him.

Unfortunately, that
door has been closed.

He lawyered up this morning.

What does that tell you?

Tells me he doesn't
like talking to cops.

Which isn't surprising
considering his pedigree.

Lucas Jay Kubrick,
three convictions.

Aggravated assault twice,
assault with a deadly,

and he did a two-year
jolt in Salinas.

Which explains why
Rick Eden hired him.

He was looking for an employee
with a criminal record.

Hired him for what?

You saw the tape. He
didn't do anything.

People, it is a fact of life...

accidents happen.

It wasn't an accident.

I've been working on a
little theory myself.

Are those LEGOs?

Until yesterday, it was
four Millennium Falcons.

Now, it is the
Vinton Creek Bridge.

This is Griffin.

Here's the bungee cord.

Now, Griffin is
jumping off the bridge.

He was planning to stop
right there, right?

But we know that Griffin
measured the cord himself,

so it wasn't the cord.

So what's the only other
possible explanation?

Someone lowered the bridge.

Oh, no.

Yeah, all he had to do
was replace these four

pillars with hydraulic gears.

Here's what happened.

Griffin Briggs
was about to jump.

The killer, or killers,
lower the bridge by 6 feet.

[motor whirring]

Then, Griffin jumps, and splat.

It's a perfect crime.

Where would they
get the machinery?

Well, they have the technology.

Billionaires lower
bridges all the time.

Billionaires lower
bridges all the time?

Why?

To go fishing.

Billionaires love to fish.

They lower the bridge so
they can see the fish better.

[motor whirring]

Makes you think.

- No, it doesn't.
- No, it doesn't.

Quite the opposite, actually.

[motor whirring]

I don't want to hear it.

Don't say it.

He's the guy.

How can you still like
Rick Eden for this?

Monk...

Monk, I love you like a brother.

You know that.

But you're not
thinking straight.

Look, it happens.

We're not kids anymore.

Things get foggy.

[laughs]

Yesterday, I couldn't
remember the name

of my first girlfriend.

Maria Beecom.

That's right. How
did you know that?

Your mother mentioned it.

My mother's been
dead for 35 years.

37.

He's not the guy.
He can't be the guy.

- Why not?
- Because I love my job.

That's why not.

I've worked my
whole life for this.

I... see this watch?

It's a $20,000 watch.

He gave it to me.

I'm flying on private jets,
and I'm farting through silk.

- Wait, you're what?
- I'm...

Never mind.

Look, I'm late for
work. I gotta go.

He's not the guy.

[printer whirring]

OK, so this is it.

- That's it?
- Yep.

Those are all the
notes that he left.

- There's a smudge.
- Where?

That.

Can you ignore it?

[laughs] Of course
I can ignore it.

I'm not psychotic.
- OK.

So this is a list of...

So Clyde... thank you.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

Yeah.

These must be the
witnesses from Bermuda.

A bartender, a deckhand.

Yeah, so Griffin couldn't
get any of them to talk.

He figured that they
must have been paid off.

Kremlin?

Was there a Russian connection?

Yeah, I couldn't find anything,

but I'm going to keep digging.

I'm not giving up.

Thank you, Robert.

Mr. Monk, aren't you a bit old

to be doing this
kind of thing, hm?

Snooping around,
sneaking into parties,

dressing up as a bartender?

Oh, please.

Shouldn't you be retired by now?

No, actually, let
me rephrase that.

It is important to me
that you are retired.

I am sure it is.

You're familiar with
OFCs, aren't you?

I've taken the
liberty of setting up

an offshore account for you.

You know, my first divorce
cost me $200 million,

and that was back in
the day when $200 mil

was considered to be
quite the chunk of cash.

I'm going to offer you
significantly more than that.

If I press this key here,

you will be worth $1 billion.

You'll be the 12th
richest man in California.

You think money
can buy anything?

I do.

And here's why, because it can.

And what would I do
with a billion dollars?

Anything, everything.

I might suggest, for example,
rejuvenation therapy.

They are doing miraculous things

these days with cryogenics
and blood transfusions.

Maybe you, you
could live forever.

Live forever?

You really are a monster.

[laughs]

Before you answer, just
consider this, huh?

Last week, I met with your
old pal, Griffin Briggs,

to offer him a job... a
job that I knew he coveted.

And he turned me down.

So I killed him.

- You're admitting it.
- Why should I deny it?

You and I both know
it to be true, so...

- How?
- How?

How did he do it, huh?

Obviously, I'm not going
to tell you that, sport.

That'd take all the fun
out of it, wouldn't it?

Frankly, I could do
without you running

around looking under rocks,
asking awkward questions.

Hence the offer.

You had done your research.

You knew Griffin always
measured his own bungee cords.

You had Kubrick make
another tape measure.

It was identical to
the one Griffin used.

There was only one difference.

Every inch was
slightly longer...

just a fraction of a millimeter,

not enough for anyone to notice.

After that, it was easy.

Kubrick broke into the garage
and switched tape measures.

Griffin thought he was
measuring 304 feet,

was 6 feet longer.

He never had a chance.
