Monk (2002–2009): Season 8, Episode 11 - Mr. Monk and the Dog - full transcript
While searching for what the department hopes is a missing woman, Monk takes in her dog.
Hey.
Good morning.
You hungry?
Come on, honey.
Hey, cutie pie.
Would you like
a little piece?
There you go.
Go get your ball.
Where are the scissors?
Does he keep them
in here?
Or are they in here?
Good morning.
Mmm! How'd you sleep?
Are you married?
Amanda.
What is all this?
It's complicated.
Really? It doesn't
look complicated.
It looks pretty simple. Give
me two minutes to explain.
"I never felt
this way before"?
"Heaven must be
missing an angel"?
Don't get hysterical.
What was all that?
Amanda, would you...
Don't! Don't touch me!
Are you going to let
me explain? Please?
Technically, yes.
But it's been over
for a long time.
We just haven't
made it official.
You were married.
You know what it's like.
Amanda, it's over.
My hand to God.
"My hand to God," huh?
Then you won't mind
if we get rid of this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what
are you doing? Or these.
All right,
Amanda, don't.
What are you doing?
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I think, I...
Just gonna...
Amanda? Amanda?
911. What is your emergency?
911. Are you still there?
911.
Are you still there?
911. Are you still there? 911.
It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion
everywhere
No one seems to care
Well, I do
Hey, who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air
we breathe
You know what's in the water
that you drink?
Well, I do
It's amazing
People think I'm crazy
'cause I worry
all the time
If you paid attention,
you'd be worried, too
You better pay attention
Or this world
we love so much
might just kill you
I could be wrong now
But I don't think so
'Cause there's
a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Are you my uncle?
No.
Didn't think so.
No. I'm your aunt
Natalie's boss.
Do you know
her other boss,
the crazy one?
Yes.
Yes,
I think I have met him.
Once or twice.
So you're not really
in our family?
No.
Well, how come
you're here?
Well, Natalie invited me.
Where's your family?
Pull!
You've gotta...
You have to pull that way.
That way!
Mr. Monk, we know
which way to go.
They're pulling hard. You
have to pull 5% to 10% harder.
Well, try walking backwards.
No! You're not trying.
Are you
letting them win?
Sure.
What's he doing?
Hey. It's so nice
to see you again!
Mr. Monk!
Mr. Monk, come here.
Oh, I'm still sore
from that tug-of-war.
That was fun yesterday,
wasn't it?
I'm glad
you were there.
Are you okay?
Do you have any idea
how lucky you are
to have a family
like that?
I know.
I'm very lucky.
I hope
you appreciate it.
I do.
I do appreciate it.
I hope you do.
I do.
I hope you do.
I do. I'm saying I do.
I appreciate it.
I don't think...
You're not listening to me.
I hope you do.
Am I not being clear?
I appreciate it.
Yeah, well,
I hope you do.
I appreciate it.
Hey, thank you
for coming.
What's going on?
Missing person.
I hope that's what it is.
Her name's
Amanda Castle.
She's an artist.
Apparently, she's a pretty
big deal, very famous.
Huh. Never
heard of her.
Me neither. Well,
somebody's heard of her
because the press
has taken an interest,
which means the mayor has
taken an interest,
which means I'm here,
which means
you're here, and you.
Hey, how was the picnic?
Horrible.
It was great.
Uh, Adrian Monk,
Natalie Teeger,
this is Samantha Austin,
Amanda's agent.
How long has
she been missing?
Since last weekend.
Since Sunday morning.
I was supposed to
meet her at my gallery.
She has a show
next month.
I was just telling
the captain
something's wrong.
I can feel it.
I've known Amanda
for years,
and she never would
have gone anywhere
without her medication
or without Shelby.
And Shelby is
her daughter?
No.
Shelby is her son?
Here she is.
Come here, girl.
There's a good girl.
It's a dog.
Shelby is a dog!
Well, she's the only
family Amanda has.
Family.
Did Amanda wear glasses?
No.
Hmm.
Somebody wore glasses.
Was she dating? Was there
anyone in particular?
She didn't say.
She never did.
She's a pretty
private person.
Hmm.
Are those glasses?
Looks like it.
Did somebody
pose for this?
I don't know.
I think it's new.
Could be a lover.
Mmm.
How do you figure?
Well, he's naked,
and, uh...
Lower right corner?
Oh. Oh!
Oh, I thought that
was the signature.
We need to find him.
Oh, not a problem.
We'll just make a copy of
this and put out an APB.
I don't think
that's gonna work.
You can't even
see his face.
I was joking, Randy.
Mmm.
Of course you have
to say that now.
Natalie!
Natalie! Dog lick hand!
Dog lick hand!
Dog lick hand!
Boil some water!
Dog lick hand.
Mr. Monk, we don't have
to boil water. Calm down.
Dog lick hand.
Yes, I know
dog lick hand.
Dog likes you. Dog's
been following you around.
Well, tell her
not to like me!
Don't like me,
you understand?
Go away.
You're a bad dog.
Go away.
Somebody call
animal control?
Yes, over here.
This is just temporary
until Amanda gets back.
I can't keep her. I have
a cat. Come here, girl!
Mr. Monk,
you should adopt the dog.
Excuse me?
Just for a day or two
until the owner gets back.
I'm worried about you.
You're getting lonely.
Not that lonely,
not dog lonely.
I think you are
dog lonely.
Dogs are family.
No, no, dogs are animals,
and they're filthy,
and they're naked,
and they eat, and then
they un-eat, and then...
That is probably the
worst idea you've ever had.
Why don't you take her?
I would,
but Julie's allergic.
All right. It's just for a day or two.
I gotta take the dog.
Let's go. Come on.
I don't want any problems. I got two
more pickups today. Get in the crate.
There you go. Come on, get
in there. Get in the crate.
Do you, uh...
Oh, no, never. We're not
what they call a kill shelter.
What happens if nobody
comes to pick her up?
Oh, well, in a month, we send her
to what's called the kill shelter.
All right, come on.
Let's go, get in there.
Wait.
Wait.
I'll take her.
Okay. Okay.
All right.
Well, this is it.
Don't get too comfortable.
I never do.
This is just temporary.
You understand? Temporary.
Transitory. Right?
Not permanent.
Okay? Ephemeral-like.
Right.
All right, I guess
I should show you around.
All right, you can look,
but don't touch.
Okay, this is my couch,
which is off-limits.
That's my chair.
Off-limits.
Over here, all right,
that's the dining room table.
Don't even think about it.
And this is the kitchen.
You can stay
out of there.
No. No. Stay off.
Over here,
stay away from that.
And over here is the bedroom,
and here's the thing
about the bedroom.
It's off-limits.
Okay, now, you see
this corner over here?
This is your corner.
This corner is okay.
Not the whole corner.
No. Basically,
just this area here,
from here to here.
That's your spot,
all right?
Okay, I'm unhooking
your leash.
Don't do
anything stupid, okay?
Okay, good. Okay.
All right, just hold on.
All right.
You can get
right up in there.
Okay, get up in there.
Go on.
There you go.
Welcome home.
Yeah.
Doesn't exactly feel
like a family, but, uh...
Okay, now what's that?
What is that?
Is that a hair?
Pick it up.
I'm serious. Pick it...
Now what are you doing?
Don't do that.
No that, never that.
No... No scratching.
That's better.
All right,
Natalie made a list.
All right, water.
Water. Okay.
Now, you stay there.
I'll be right back.
Don't do anything, and you
know what I'm talking about.
Stay there.
Just stay.
No licking!
No scratching.
What was I thinking?
Okay.
Here you go. Hello?
Shelby?
Hello, Shelby?
What the...
What is that?
Where are you?
What are you doing?
What?
What are you doing?
Oh, my God!
God!
No, stay away.
Stay away! Stay!
Thank you all
once again for coming.
You know the situation.
We're looking
for a woman.
Her name is
Amanda Castle.
Although any dead body
would be of interest to us.
Thank you, Randy.
She lives in that yellow house
there, where she was last seen,
so we're
going to start here.
Has everyone signed in?
No? Come on.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's a good girl.
That's a good girl.
You taking good care
of Mr. Monk?
Yeah. You want
the gloves?
No, I don't want gloves.
Oh, I'm so glad
you brought her.
Well, I didn't
have a choice.
I couldn't leave her alone
in my house, on my floor.
She won't stay
in the umbrella.
This dog is not, and may
never be, umbrella trained.
He's a funny man,
isn't he?
Oh, she's so clean.
She should be. I washed
her for hours last night.
Yeah, don't! Don't pet the
tail. She doesn't like that.
Oh, you like her.
Admit it.
You like having someone
in the house.
There are moments that
aren't entirely unbearable.
Wow. Sounds like true love.
Whoa! Where are
you going there?
Hey, where you going?
Oh...
Sorry about that.
Oh, it's okay.
She probably
just smells my dog.
Hello, sweetheart.
What is she, a terrier?
We don't know.
Yeah, she's just staying
with my boss for a while.
What are they feeding
you, sweetheart?
Somebody needs
to go on a diet.
Okay, let's get started!
Gonna line up over here,
arm's length apart.
Gotta go.
Nice meeting you.
It's okay.
Don't listen to him.
You're not fat.
Keep your eyes down.
We're looking
for anything unusual,
any freshly dug dirt,
signs of a struggle,
articles of clothing.
Over here!
It's hers.
There's a note.
"Saturday morning,
meet Dylan. "
That's the ex-husband.
Can we get that lucky?
Nobody's that lucky.
Come on.
Here, hold Shelby.
Don't yank on it. She hates
that. You're yanking it.
I'm not yanking it.
Hey, Monk!
What have you got?
It's Amanda Castle's.
Who found it?
Guy in the gray shirt
with the glasses.
Glasses?
I want to try something.
Excuse me, hello!
Could I have
your attention?
We think that one of you
killed Amanda Castle.
If you're guilty, would
you please raise your hand?
Well, we were
just wondering.
Sorry to bother you.
Have a nice day.
What was that about?
Who is the guy
with the glasses?
No idea.
Well, we need
to find out.
I think Amanda is dead,
and I think he killed her.
Look. Look at the buckle and
the snap. There's no rust.
It couldn't have been laying
out in an open field all week.
He planted it. He's trying
to frame the ex-husband.
Okay. Well, what was all
that about raising your hand?
He didn't confess.
No, but he didn't
look around, either.
Everybody else did.
Tell me when it's 2:30.
Okay.
What time is it?
Um, it's 1:15.
What happens at 2:30?
I promised somebody
I'd be home.
It's Shelby.
A man and his dog.
You love her,
I can tell.
I don't love her.
I don't hate her.
She's fine.
I don't mind her
for a couple of days,
maybe a week, whatever.
How's she doing?
She's really smart.
This dog is really,
really smart.
I've been
teaching her tricks.
Like?
Oh, like not to lick me,
not to drool,
not to roll over, not to,
you know, discharge anything.
Oh, since you mention it, I was
gonna give it to you later, but...
Taa-daa!
It's a Sha-Poopie.
Oh, yeah,
I don't need that,
because I've taught
her to hold it in.
Until when?
I haven't decided.
Well, she might
decide for you.
You should take this.
Yeah, okay.
This could be it.
He gave a phony name when he signed
in yesterday, but we ran his plates.
Say hello to Steven DeWitt.
He's an industrial engineer.
He owns, or rather,
his wife owns
the $2 million brownstone
on Rockaway Drive.
They know Amanda?
Very possible, yeah.
She's an artist,
he's a big patron.
Apparently, he hangs out
at the galleries.
What about
the phone records?
No, nothing yet.
Be nice if we had a body.
She could be anywhere.
No, not quite anywhere.
Um...
Uh, all right,
this is her house,
and we know
it's not there.
This is the park
we checked yesterday.
It's not there.
Oh, that's my house.
We can eliminate that.
And this office.
That's true.
It's not here.
Captain? Is there anything
you want to eliminate?
Hello.
Amanda Castle called 911
Saturday morning.
The call lasted eight seconds.
She didn't say anything
and hung up.
Where did she call from?
From the general vicinity
of Steven DeWitt's townhouse.
The general vicinity?
Yeah, well,
within ten city blocks.
That's the best
they can do.
It's not enough to prove
they knew each other.
Oh, it's 1:22.
We really should get back.
But you said 2:30.
Yeah, but 1:22 is almost 2:30,
and I hate
to keep her waiting.
I want to stop and pick up some
dessert on the way to surprise her.
You know,
she loves surprises.
Her face lights up.
See you later.
Uh-huh, bye.
Does he have a girlfriend?
Yeah, he kind of does.
Hello.
Hello.
Hey!
Hey, okay, no licking.
No licking, no licking.
Okay, look,
let me take it out.
Just let me
put these on first.
Yeah? Yeah,
you see what I got you?
Do you see what I got you?
Yeah... Hey, don't tell
anybody, but I missed you, too.
Yeah, ice cream.
I didn't know which flavor you
liked, so I got you all five.
Come on.
Okay, here we go.
Get ready.
You are ready. Yeah.
Here we go, girl.
Go get it, girl!
Go get the ball!
Get it.
Go on, girl. Go get it.
Go get it.
Yeah, get... No?
Fetch the...
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
That's no fun at all, is it?
Yeah. Okay, here.
Is that better?
Get it.
Get it. Good girl.
Bring it. Bring it.
Yeah, that's much better,
isn't it?
Yeah, because you gotta
feel the ball.
You gotta feel the ball.
I know. I know.
Stay with me now.
Stay on the path.
I'm proud of you, boys.
You're doing great.
Look at that view.
Breathtaking.
Looks like we're heading east.
You can tell by the moss.
The moss grows
on the north side of the tree.
Do you know why?
Because there's
more shade on it.
What are you doing?
What is that, a rug?
Don't touch it.
Just leave it alone.
You don't know
where it's been.
Seriously,
hands off the rug!
My hands are
off the rug, see?
Just leave it alone.
Good.
That's it.
Ah, you're a good girl.
Yes, you are.
Just a second. Hello.
When?
I understand.
Yes. Okay, thank you
for calling.
Okay, listen, um,
you better sit down.
You remember Amanda, the nice
lady who took care of you?
No, please, sit.
I'm afraid
I have some bad news.
Well, she had an accident.
She won't be coming back.
Don't cry.
Don't.
Don't cry.
Oh, she's happy. She's on
a farm with all her friends.
She loves it there.
She's
chasing rabbits
all day, and...
You're not buying that.
I know how you feel.
Believe me, I know
exactly how you feel.
Never alone, little one.
Never alone.
I've already talked
to the police.
I mean, the real police. They
were here for three hours.
I didn't know the girl,
I never met the girl.
You were at her house.
You were looking for her.
I saw she was missing.
It was on the news.
They said
they needed volunteers.
I was just doing
my civic duty.
Next time, I won't bother.
You gave the police
a false name.
Yes, I have four or five
unpaid parking tickets.
You want to arrest me
for that, go ahead.
Something spill?
Excuse me?
This part of the floor,
it almost looks
like it was bleached.
Yeah, excuse me, I'm not comfortable
with you just wandering around.
I'm sure you're not.
I didn't kill anyone,
Mr. Monk.
And you can't prove
that I did.
Can you?
No, I can't.
I like your paintings. Do
you go to a lot of galleries?
I think we're done here.
No, I'm sorry, I misspoke.
I know we're done here.
Very nice
meeting you both.
Uh, one more question.
Just curious about the rug.
Which rug?
This rug.
It looks brand new.
It is new.
Steve bought it last week
while I was in London.
I couldn't have been
more surprised.
Is this about
that missing girl?
The poor thing.
I told you
not to volunteer.
He thinks he can save
the world single-handedly.
I don't think we've met.
I'm Gwen.
Oh, what a cute dog.
Oh, where's your tail?
He's an Australian Shepherd.
They're born tailless.
They're bred that way.
That makes you special,
doesn't it?
Can I get you folks a drink?
Actually, they were
just leaving, dear.
I didn't even get
your names.
There's no need to.
They won't be back.
I'm home!
Ah! There you are.
So how was she?
Oh, she was great.
I see you.
There you are.
She's so cute.
Yeah, I love you, too.
I love you, too.
Thank you for watching her.
Oh, I wish I had a dog.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh,
she didn't eat?
Well, she wasn't hungry.
Oh, well, maybe,
were you waiting for me?
She was probably
waiting for me.
I think she was.
Your aunt Natalie's
out front, so...
She'll give you
a ride home.
You said $5.
Right.
Oh, you have
change for $100?
Yes.
Really?
Mmm-hmm.
Then you won't
need my $5.
Attitude.
Where's my girl?
This way.
Attagirl.
Oh, easy, easy.
What do you got there?
It's just a bug.
It's just a bug.
Okay, come on, this way.
Come on.
Good girl. Come on.
No, this way. Oh!
Oh, hey, hey,
what are you doing?
You don't know her.
This way.
Come on.
Come on. Look both ways.
Shelby! Shelby!
Watch out!
Somebody tried
to kill Shelby?
Maybe he was drunk, you know,
or he was just turning around.
No, no, it was deliberate.
He...
He tried
to run her down.
He wasn't interested in me.
He was definitely
after Shelby.
Maybe he
doesn't like dogs.
How could anyone
not like dogs?
What reason would
anybody possibly have?
I don't know.
I don't know, but it's got to
be connected to Amanda Castle.
She disappeared
a week and a half ago.
Now, tonight, somebody
tries to kill her dog.
It can't be a coincidence.
Was it the guy,
Steven DeWitt?
I couldn't tell.
Well, what kind of car was he driving?
I don't know. I was...
I'm so worried about Shelby.
She's been acting
strangely. Look at her.
She hasn't eaten all day.
Maybe she witnessed
the murder.
She saw DeWitt kill Amanda,
and now he's afraid
that she'll identify him.
How?
She could bark at him.
Randy, as far as I know,
in the State of California,
dogs are not allowed
to testify in open court.
Well, maybe DeWitt's afraid
they'll change the rule.
What, change the rule against
dogs testifying in court?
Hmm, you know,
one of those referendums.
It is California.
You want to know
how tired I am?
I'm so tired, I don't know
if that even makes any sense.
Come on, Monk,
I'll give you a ride home,
you and your girlfriend,
we'll sleep on it.
Maybe it'll make
more sense in the morning.
Let's go. Ah, good girl. Good girl.
Cute dog.
Veterinarian hotline.
What's your emergency?
Yes, hello.
I have a dog...
Well, she's not really mine.
Sort of adopted her,
but it's complicated.
You see, I'm
a former police officer...
Sir, is the animal sick?
Yes. Uh, yes, I think so.
She isn't eating,
and she, uh...
She seems
to be shivering.
Well, is she panting
heavily and heaving?
Yes. Yes.
Uh-huh. Has she been
putting on weight?
Well, yes. Yes, she has.
Well, it sounds
like she's whelping.
I don't understand.
Well, I think she's in labor.
I don't understand.
She's in labor.
She's having a litter,
little puppies?
Baby puppies.
You mean now?
It sounds like it.
Sir?
Are you still there?
Congratulations.
That's a good girl. That's a
good girl. You're doing great.
Mr. Monk,
please bring me a towel.
Keep breathing.
Oh, I know it hurts.
I've been there, too.
Where'd you get the mask?
Left top drawer.
It's a natural thing,
Mr. Monk.
Your mother did it twice.
You're not helping at all.
She didn't do it
in somebody's living room!
She didn't go
surprising people.
Why... Why didn't you
tell me she was pregnant?
I didn't know.
Nobody knew.
Come on, you're a woman.
How could you not know?
It's a disaster.
Little animals coming
out of other animals.
What was God thinking?
Oh, it's the miracle of life.
It's a beautiful thing.
Oh! Okay, that's
not such a beautiful thing.
I mean, in general.
This is what I get
for trying to be nice.
I opened my...
Your heart?
My house!
I opened my house!
You opened your heart,
Mr. Monk. Don't close it now.
Oh, here it comes,
ready or not.
No, no, not yet!
I'm not ready yet, please.
No, just tell her
to wait. Wait!
Wait, tell her...
No. Shelby, no!
Bad dog!
You're doing good, sweetie.
Keep breathing.
Keep breathing.
Here it comes.
What is that? Oh, wait.
That can't be right.
That is...
That cannot be right.
Whoa. That...
That can't be right.
That is not right.
There's no way that...
Congratulations, Grandpa.
Wow!
I know.
It's a boy.
What are you
gonna name him?
Exhibit A.
Good girl.
Exhibit A?
Check out the tail.
What tail?
Exactly. His father's
an Australian Shepherd.
A tailless
Australian Shepherd.
Steven DeWitt.
His wife mentioned she'd
been traveling recently,
and how long
was she gone?
About three months.
That fits. While his
wife was out of town,
he was having
an affair with Amanda.
They were "hooking up,"
you understand?
Uh, yeah.
And while
they were hooking up,
their dogs
were hooking up.
Everybody and everything
hooking up.
Do you remember
two days ago?
DeWitt showed up
to help look for the body.
He was petting Shelby.
He was patting her belly.
He noticed
she was pregnant.
DeWitt had a problem.
He knew as soon as we saw
these tailless puppies,
we'd run a DNA test.
We'd have proof, living
proof their dogs had met,
which would prove
he knew Amanda.
That's why he tried
to run her over tonight.
Well, looks like we've got
our smoking gun.
You're just about the cutest
little smoking gun in history.
Look at you.
You little dog. The
jury's gonna eat you up.
Oh, wait a minute.
I think we have more evidence.
Excuse me.
Good girl,
Shelby. Good girl.
Okay, here comes
Exhibit A, B, C, Exhibit D.
Oh, another one?
What's the record?
Mmm, I think it's 101.
That was the movie.
Right.
That woman again,
who was that, Coupe de Ville?
Ah, Cruella.
Cruella, she was bad news.
Monk, this is good Scotch.
Where'd you get this Scotch?
It was a Christmas gift
from the mayor.
Well, thank
the mayor for me.
Ah, I think she's done.
And so am I.
Randy, you better drive.
What about DeWitt?
We'll pick him up.
Call Kramer and have
somebody go to his house,
and put an APB
on his vehicle.
Yes, sir.
What... What do I do?
You get some sleep.
We'll be back to pick you and
the dogs up in the morning.
No, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
The puppies, what do I do?
Mr. Monk, you don't
have to do anything.
She knows
what she's doing.
Bye, Shelby. Good job.
You have a lot of explaining
to do, young lady.
You're too late.
She's already had the litter.
What are you
gonna do, Steve?
Kill them all?
I suppose I am.
But I'm a witness, so
you'll have to kill me, too.
No, don't...
Don't... Don't move.
You just stay
where you are.
I don't think
you're a killer.
I think you
loved Amanda.
It was an accident.
I believe you.
She fell
and hit her head.
That's not murder.
It's manslaughter,
maybe obstruction.
That's bad, but it could be a lot worse.
Don't make it worse.
Don't make it worse.
It was an accident.
I know.
I know it was.
They're beautiful.
I know.
I'll take that one.
Okay.
Oh!
What's his name?
Uh, Exhibit B.
But you can call him
anything you want.
All right.
Say thank you.
Thank you.
We'll take good care of him,
we promise.
Okay.
Wait. Wait.
Uh, I can't do this.
I'm sorry.
I can't split them up.
They have
to stay together.
Mr. Monk,
I know it hurts,
and I know you're thinking
about your own family.
With dogs, it's different.
It's not different.
They're a family,
she's the mother,
they have to be together.
Here's the thing.
There are five dogs here.
You can't keep
them all. You're...
You know, you're you.
I know.
I know, I'm me.
How about this?
We'll take all of them.
Really?
The whole family,
including the mom.
We have three acres, it's all
fenced in. They'll love it.
Okay.
Okay, great.
I'll get her things.
Anne Marie,
you want to help?
Yeah.
Okay?
You can visit her anytime.
How about 2:00?
Okay, 2:00.
You mean, tomorrow?
Every day.
Every day?
Okay.
I'll go get her leash.
It's okay.
I know them.
They're a good family.
You'll be happy there.
Never alone, little one.
Never alone again.

Good morning.
You hungry?
Come on, honey.
Hey, cutie pie.
Would you like
a little piece?
There you go.
Go get your ball.
Where are the scissors?
Does he keep them
in here?
Or are they in here?
Good morning.
Mmm! How'd you sleep?
Are you married?
Amanda.
What is all this?
It's complicated.
Really? It doesn't
look complicated.
It looks pretty simple. Give
me two minutes to explain.
"I never felt
this way before"?
"Heaven must be
missing an angel"?
Don't get hysterical.
What was all that?
Amanda, would you...
Don't! Don't touch me!
Are you going to let
me explain? Please?
Technically, yes.
But it's been over
for a long time.
We just haven't
made it official.
You were married.
You know what it's like.
Amanda, it's over.
My hand to God.
"My hand to God," huh?
Then you won't mind
if we get rid of this.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what
are you doing? Or these.
All right,
Amanda, don't.
What are you doing?
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I think, I...
Just gonna...
Amanda? Amanda?
911. What is your emergency?
911. Are you still there?
911.
Are you still there?
911. Are you still there? 911.
It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion
everywhere
No one seems to care
Well, I do
Hey, who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air
we breathe
You know what's in the water
that you drink?
Well, I do
It's amazing
People think I'm crazy
'cause I worry
all the time
If you paid attention,
you'd be worried, too
You better pay attention
Or this world
we love so much
might just kill you
I could be wrong now
But I don't think so
'Cause there's
a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Are you my uncle?
No.
Didn't think so.
No. I'm your aunt
Natalie's boss.
Do you know
her other boss,
the crazy one?
Yes.
Yes,
I think I have met him.
Once or twice.
So you're not really
in our family?
No.
Well, how come
you're here?
Well, Natalie invited me.
Where's your family?
Pull!
You've gotta...
You have to pull that way.
That way!
Mr. Monk, we know
which way to go.
They're pulling hard. You
have to pull 5% to 10% harder.
Well, try walking backwards.
No! You're not trying.
Are you
letting them win?
Sure.
What's he doing?
Hey. It's so nice
to see you again!
Mr. Monk!
Mr. Monk, come here.
Oh, I'm still sore
from that tug-of-war.
That was fun yesterday,
wasn't it?
I'm glad
you were there.
Are you okay?
Do you have any idea
how lucky you are
to have a family
like that?
I know.
I'm very lucky.
I hope
you appreciate it.
I do.
I do appreciate it.
I hope you do.
I do.
I hope you do.
I do. I'm saying I do.
I appreciate it.
I don't think...
You're not listening to me.
I hope you do.
Am I not being clear?
I appreciate it.
Yeah, well,
I hope you do.
I appreciate it.
Hey, thank you
for coming.
What's going on?
Missing person.
I hope that's what it is.
Her name's
Amanda Castle.
She's an artist.
Apparently, she's a pretty
big deal, very famous.
Huh. Never
heard of her.
Me neither. Well,
somebody's heard of her
because the press
has taken an interest,
which means the mayor has
taken an interest,
which means I'm here,
which means
you're here, and you.
Hey, how was the picnic?
Horrible.
It was great.
Uh, Adrian Monk,
Natalie Teeger,
this is Samantha Austin,
Amanda's agent.
How long has
she been missing?
Since last weekend.
Since Sunday morning.
I was supposed to
meet her at my gallery.
She has a show
next month.
I was just telling
the captain
something's wrong.
I can feel it.
I've known Amanda
for years,
and she never would
have gone anywhere
without her medication
or without Shelby.
And Shelby is
her daughter?
No.
Shelby is her son?
Here she is.
Come here, girl.
There's a good girl.
It's a dog.
Shelby is a dog!
Well, she's the only
family Amanda has.
Family.
Did Amanda wear glasses?
No.
Hmm.
Somebody wore glasses.
Was she dating? Was there
anyone in particular?
She didn't say.
She never did.
She's a pretty
private person.
Hmm.
Are those glasses?
Looks like it.
Did somebody
pose for this?
I don't know.
I think it's new.
Could be a lover.
Mmm.
How do you figure?
Well, he's naked,
and, uh...
Lower right corner?
Oh. Oh!
Oh, I thought that
was the signature.
We need to find him.
Oh, not a problem.
We'll just make a copy of
this and put out an APB.
I don't think
that's gonna work.
You can't even
see his face.
I was joking, Randy.
Mmm.
Of course you have
to say that now.
Natalie!
Natalie! Dog lick hand!
Dog lick hand!
Dog lick hand!
Boil some water!
Dog lick hand.
Mr. Monk, we don't have
to boil water. Calm down.
Dog lick hand.
Yes, I know
dog lick hand.
Dog likes you. Dog's
been following you around.
Well, tell her
not to like me!
Don't like me,
you understand?
Go away.
You're a bad dog.
Go away.
Somebody call
animal control?
Yes, over here.
This is just temporary
until Amanda gets back.
I can't keep her. I have
a cat. Come here, girl!
Mr. Monk,
you should adopt the dog.
Excuse me?
Just for a day or two
until the owner gets back.
I'm worried about you.
You're getting lonely.
Not that lonely,
not dog lonely.
I think you are
dog lonely.
Dogs are family.
No, no, dogs are animals,
and they're filthy,
and they're naked,
and they eat, and then
they un-eat, and then...
That is probably the
worst idea you've ever had.
Why don't you take her?
I would,
but Julie's allergic.
All right. It's just for a day or two.
I gotta take the dog.
Let's go. Come on.
I don't want any problems. I got two
more pickups today. Get in the crate.
There you go. Come on, get
in there. Get in the crate.
Do you, uh...
Oh, no, never. We're not
what they call a kill shelter.
What happens if nobody
comes to pick her up?
Oh, well, in a month, we send her
to what's called the kill shelter.
All right, come on.
Let's go, get in there.
Wait.
Wait.
I'll take her.
Okay. Okay.
All right.
Well, this is it.
Don't get too comfortable.
I never do.
This is just temporary.
You understand? Temporary.
Transitory. Right?
Not permanent.
Okay? Ephemeral-like.
Right.
All right, I guess
I should show you around.
All right, you can look,
but don't touch.
Okay, this is my couch,
which is off-limits.
That's my chair.
Off-limits.
Over here, all right,
that's the dining room table.
Don't even think about it.
And this is the kitchen.
You can stay
out of there.
No. No. Stay off.
Over here,
stay away from that.
And over here is the bedroom,
and here's the thing
about the bedroom.
It's off-limits.
Okay, now, you see
this corner over here?
This is your corner.
This corner is okay.
Not the whole corner.
No. Basically,
just this area here,
from here to here.
That's your spot,
all right?
Okay, I'm unhooking
your leash.
Don't do
anything stupid, okay?
Okay, good. Okay.
All right, just hold on.
All right.
You can get
right up in there.
Okay, get up in there.
Go on.
There you go.
Welcome home.
Yeah.
Doesn't exactly feel
like a family, but, uh...
Okay, now what's that?
What is that?
Is that a hair?
Pick it up.
I'm serious. Pick it...
Now what are you doing?
Don't do that.
No that, never that.
No... No scratching.
That's better.
All right,
Natalie made a list.
All right, water.
Water. Okay.
Now, you stay there.
I'll be right back.
Don't do anything, and you
know what I'm talking about.
Stay there.
Just stay.
No licking!
No scratching.
What was I thinking?
Okay.
Here you go. Hello?
Shelby?
Hello, Shelby?
What the...
What is that?
Where are you?
What are you doing?
What?
What are you doing?
Oh, my God!
God!
No, stay away.
Stay away! Stay!
Thank you all
once again for coming.
You know the situation.
We're looking
for a woman.
Her name is
Amanda Castle.
Although any dead body
would be of interest to us.
Thank you, Randy.
She lives in that yellow house
there, where she was last seen,
so we're
going to start here.
Has everyone signed in?
No? Come on.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's a good girl.
That's a good girl.
You taking good care
of Mr. Monk?
Yeah. You want
the gloves?
No, I don't want gloves.
Oh, I'm so glad
you brought her.
Well, I didn't
have a choice.
I couldn't leave her alone
in my house, on my floor.
She won't stay
in the umbrella.
This dog is not, and may
never be, umbrella trained.
He's a funny man,
isn't he?
Oh, she's so clean.
She should be. I washed
her for hours last night.
Yeah, don't! Don't pet the
tail. She doesn't like that.
Oh, you like her.
Admit it.
You like having someone
in the house.
There are moments that
aren't entirely unbearable.
Wow. Sounds like true love.
Whoa! Where are
you going there?
Hey, where you going?
Oh...
Sorry about that.
Oh, it's okay.
She probably
just smells my dog.
Hello, sweetheart.
What is she, a terrier?
We don't know.
Yeah, she's just staying
with my boss for a while.
What are they feeding
you, sweetheart?
Somebody needs
to go on a diet.
Okay, let's get started!
Gonna line up over here,
arm's length apart.
Gotta go.
Nice meeting you.
It's okay.
Don't listen to him.
You're not fat.
Keep your eyes down.
We're looking
for anything unusual,
any freshly dug dirt,
signs of a struggle,
articles of clothing.
Over here!
It's hers.
There's a note.
"Saturday morning,
meet Dylan. "
That's the ex-husband.
Can we get that lucky?
Nobody's that lucky.
Come on.
Here, hold Shelby.
Don't yank on it. She hates
that. You're yanking it.
I'm not yanking it.
Hey, Monk!
What have you got?
It's Amanda Castle's.
Who found it?
Guy in the gray shirt
with the glasses.
Glasses?
I want to try something.
Excuse me, hello!
Could I have
your attention?
We think that one of you
killed Amanda Castle.
If you're guilty, would
you please raise your hand?
Well, we were
just wondering.
Sorry to bother you.
Have a nice day.
What was that about?
Who is the guy
with the glasses?
No idea.
Well, we need
to find out.
I think Amanda is dead,
and I think he killed her.
Look. Look at the buckle and
the snap. There's no rust.
It couldn't have been laying
out in an open field all week.
He planted it. He's trying
to frame the ex-husband.
Okay. Well, what was all
that about raising your hand?
He didn't confess.
No, but he didn't
look around, either.
Everybody else did.
Tell me when it's 2:30.
Okay.
What time is it?
Um, it's 1:15.
What happens at 2:30?
I promised somebody
I'd be home.
It's Shelby.
A man and his dog.
You love her,
I can tell.
I don't love her.
I don't hate her.
She's fine.
I don't mind her
for a couple of days,
maybe a week, whatever.
How's she doing?
She's really smart.
This dog is really,
really smart.
I've been
teaching her tricks.
Like?
Oh, like not to lick me,
not to drool,
not to roll over, not to,
you know, discharge anything.
Oh, since you mention it, I was
gonna give it to you later, but...
Taa-daa!
It's a Sha-Poopie.
Oh, yeah,
I don't need that,
because I've taught
her to hold it in.
Until when?
I haven't decided.
Well, she might
decide for you.
You should take this.
Yeah, okay.
This could be it.
He gave a phony name when he signed
in yesterday, but we ran his plates.
Say hello to Steven DeWitt.
He's an industrial engineer.
He owns, or rather,
his wife owns
the $2 million brownstone
on Rockaway Drive.
They know Amanda?
Very possible, yeah.
She's an artist,
he's a big patron.
Apparently, he hangs out
at the galleries.
What about
the phone records?
No, nothing yet.
Be nice if we had a body.
She could be anywhere.
No, not quite anywhere.
Um...
Uh, all right,
this is her house,
and we know
it's not there.
This is the park
we checked yesterday.
It's not there.
Oh, that's my house.
We can eliminate that.
And this office.
That's true.
It's not here.
Captain? Is there anything
you want to eliminate?
Hello.
Amanda Castle called 911
Saturday morning.
The call lasted eight seconds.
She didn't say anything
and hung up.
Where did she call from?
From the general vicinity
of Steven DeWitt's townhouse.
The general vicinity?
Yeah, well,
within ten city blocks.
That's the best
they can do.
It's not enough to prove
they knew each other.
Oh, it's 1:22.
We really should get back.
But you said 2:30.
Yeah, but 1:22 is almost 2:30,
and I hate
to keep her waiting.
I want to stop and pick up some
dessert on the way to surprise her.
You know,
she loves surprises.
Her face lights up.
See you later.
Uh-huh, bye.
Does he have a girlfriend?
Yeah, he kind of does.
Hello.
Hello.
Hey!
Hey, okay, no licking.
No licking, no licking.
Okay, look,
let me take it out.
Just let me
put these on first.
Yeah? Yeah,
you see what I got you?
Do you see what I got you?
Yeah... Hey, don't tell
anybody, but I missed you, too.
Yeah, ice cream.
I didn't know which flavor you
liked, so I got you all five.
Come on.
Okay, here we go.
Get ready.
You are ready. Yeah.
Here we go, girl.
Go get it, girl!
Go get the ball!
Get it.
Go on, girl. Go get it.
Go get it.
Yeah, get... No?
Fetch the...
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
That's no fun at all, is it?
Yeah. Okay, here.
Is that better?
Get it.
Get it. Good girl.
Bring it. Bring it.
Yeah, that's much better,
isn't it?
Yeah, because you gotta
feel the ball.
You gotta feel the ball.
I know. I know.
Stay with me now.
Stay on the path.
I'm proud of you, boys.
You're doing great.
Look at that view.
Breathtaking.
Looks like we're heading east.
You can tell by the moss.
The moss grows
on the north side of the tree.
Do you know why?
Because there's
more shade on it.
What are you doing?
What is that, a rug?
Don't touch it.
Just leave it alone.
You don't know
where it's been.
Seriously,
hands off the rug!
My hands are
off the rug, see?
Just leave it alone.
Good.
That's it.
Ah, you're a good girl.
Yes, you are.
Just a second. Hello.
When?
I understand.
Yes. Okay, thank you
for calling.
Okay, listen, um,
you better sit down.
You remember Amanda, the nice
lady who took care of you?
No, please, sit.
I'm afraid
I have some bad news.
Well, she had an accident.
She won't be coming back.
Don't cry.
Don't.
Don't cry.
Oh, she's happy. She's on
a farm with all her friends.
She loves it there.
She's
chasing rabbits
all day, and...
You're not buying that.
I know how you feel.
Believe me, I know
exactly how you feel.
Never alone, little one.
Never alone.
I've already talked
to the police.
I mean, the real police. They
were here for three hours.
I didn't know the girl,
I never met the girl.
You were at her house.
You were looking for her.
I saw she was missing.
It was on the news.
They said
they needed volunteers.
I was just doing
my civic duty.
Next time, I won't bother.
You gave the police
a false name.
Yes, I have four or five
unpaid parking tickets.
You want to arrest me
for that, go ahead.
Something spill?
Excuse me?
This part of the floor,
it almost looks
like it was bleached.
Yeah, excuse me, I'm not comfortable
with you just wandering around.
I'm sure you're not.
I didn't kill anyone,
Mr. Monk.
And you can't prove
that I did.
Can you?
No, I can't.
I like your paintings. Do
you go to a lot of galleries?
I think we're done here.
No, I'm sorry, I misspoke.
I know we're done here.
Very nice
meeting you both.
Uh, one more question.
Just curious about the rug.
Which rug?
This rug.
It looks brand new.
It is new.
Steve bought it last week
while I was in London.
I couldn't have been
more surprised.
Is this about
that missing girl?
The poor thing.
I told you
not to volunteer.
He thinks he can save
the world single-handedly.
I don't think we've met.
I'm Gwen.
Oh, what a cute dog.
Oh, where's your tail?
He's an Australian Shepherd.
They're born tailless.
They're bred that way.
That makes you special,
doesn't it?
Can I get you folks a drink?
Actually, they were
just leaving, dear.
I didn't even get
your names.
There's no need to.
They won't be back.
I'm home!
Ah! There you are.
So how was she?
Oh, she was great.
I see you.
There you are.
She's so cute.
Yeah, I love you, too.
I love you, too.
Thank you for watching her.
Oh, I wish I had a dog.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh,
she didn't eat?
Well, she wasn't hungry.
Oh, well, maybe,
were you waiting for me?
She was probably
waiting for me.
I think she was.
Your aunt Natalie's
out front, so...
She'll give you
a ride home.
You said $5.
Right.
Oh, you have
change for $100?
Yes.
Really?
Mmm-hmm.
Then you won't
need my $5.
Attitude.
Where's my girl?
This way.
Attagirl.
Oh, easy, easy.
What do you got there?
It's just a bug.
It's just a bug.
Okay, come on, this way.
Come on.
Good girl. Come on.
No, this way. Oh!
Oh, hey, hey,
what are you doing?
You don't know her.
This way.
Come on.
Come on. Look both ways.
Shelby! Shelby!
Watch out!
Somebody tried
to kill Shelby?
Maybe he was drunk, you know,
or he was just turning around.
No, no, it was deliberate.
He...
He tried
to run her down.
He wasn't interested in me.
He was definitely
after Shelby.
Maybe he
doesn't like dogs.
How could anyone
not like dogs?
What reason would
anybody possibly have?
I don't know.
I don't know, but it's got to
be connected to Amanda Castle.
She disappeared
a week and a half ago.
Now, tonight, somebody
tries to kill her dog.
It can't be a coincidence.
Was it the guy,
Steven DeWitt?
I couldn't tell.
Well, what kind of car was he driving?
I don't know. I was...
I'm so worried about Shelby.
She's been acting
strangely. Look at her.
She hasn't eaten all day.
Maybe she witnessed
the murder.
She saw DeWitt kill Amanda,
and now he's afraid
that she'll identify him.
How?
She could bark at him.
Randy, as far as I know,
in the State of California,
dogs are not allowed
to testify in open court.
Well, maybe DeWitt's afraid
they'll change the rule.
What, change the rule against
dogs testifying in court?
Hmm, you know,
one of those referendums.
It is California.
You want to know
how tired I am?
I'm so tired, I don't know
if that even makes any sense.
Come on, Monk,
I'll give you a ride home,
you and your girlfriend,
we'll sleep on it.
Maybe it'll make
more sense in the morning.
Let's go. Ah, good girl. Good girl.
Cute dog.
Veterinarian hotline.
What's your emergency?
Yes, hello.
I have a dog...
Well, she's not really mine.
Sort of adopted her,
but it's complicated.
You see, I'm
a former police officer...
Sir, is the animal sick?
Yes. Uh, yes, I think so.
She isn't eating,
and she, uh...
She seems
to be shivering.
Well, is she panting
heavily and heaving?
Yes. Yes.
Uh-huh. Has she been
putting on weight?
Well, yes. Yes, she has.
Well, it sounds
like she's whelping.
I don't understand.
Well, I think she's in labor.
I don't understand.
She's in labor.
She's having a litter,
little puppies?
Baby puppies.
You mean now?
It sounds like it.
Sir?
Are you still there?
Congratulations.
That's a good girl. That's a
good girl. You're doing great.
Mr. Monk,
please bring me a towel.
Keep breathing.
Oh, I know it hurts.
I've been there, too.
Where'd you get the mask?
Left top drawer.
It's a natural thing,
Mr. Monk.
Your mother did it twice.
You're not helping at all.
She didn't do it
in somebody's living room!
She didn't go
surprising people.
Why... Why didn't you
tell me she was pregnant?
I didn't know.
Nobody knew.
Come on, you're a woman.
How could you not know?
It's a disaster.
Little animals coming
out of other animals.
What was God thinking?
Oh, it's the miracle of life.
It's a beautiful thing.
Oh! Okay, that's
not such a beautiful thing.
I mean, in general.
This is what I get
for trying to be nice.
I opened my...
Your heart?
My house!
I opened my house!
You opened your heart,
Mr. Monk. Don't close it now.
Oh, here it comes,
ready or not.
No, no, not yet!
I'm not ready yet, please.
No, just tell her
to wait. Wait!
Wait, tell her...
No. Shelby, no!
Bad dog!
You're doing good, sweetie.
Keep breathing.
Keep breathing.
Here it comes.
What is that? Oh, wait.
That can't be right.
That is...
That cannot be right.
Whoa. That...
That can't be right.
That is not right.
There's no way that...
Congratulations, Grandpa.
Wow!
I know.
It's a boy.
What are you
gonna name him?
Exhibit A.
Good girl.
Exhibit A?
Check out the tail.
What tail?
Exactly. His father's
an Australian Shepherd.
A tailless
Australian Shepherd.
Steven DeWitt.
His wife mentioned she'd
been traveling recently,
and how long
was she gone?
About three months.
That fits. While his
wife was out of town,
he was having
an affair with Amanda.
They were "hooking up,"
you understand?
Uh, yeah.
And while
they were hooking up,
their dogs
were hooking up.
Everybody and everything
hooking up.
Do you remember
two days ago?
DeWitt showed up
to help look for the body.
He was petting Shelby.
He was patting her belly.
He noticed
she was pregnant.
DeWitt had a problem.
He knew as soon as we saw
these tailless puppies,
we'd run a DNA test.
We'd have proof, living
proof their dogs had met,
which would prove
he knew Amanda.
That's why he tried
to run her over tonight.
Well, looks like we've got
our smoking gun.
You're just about the cutest
little smoking gun in history.
Look at you.
You little dog. The
jury's gonna eat you up.
Oh, wait a minute.
I think we have more evidence.
Excuse me.
Good girl,
Shelby. Good girl.
Okay, here comes
Exhibit A, B, C, Exhibit D.
Oh, another one?
What's the record?
Mmm, I think it's 101.
That was the movie.
Right.
That woman again,
who was that, Coupe de Ville?
Ah, Cruella.
Cruella, she was bad news.
Monk, this is good Scotch.
Where'd you get this Scotch?
It was a Christmas gift
from the mayor.
Well, thank
the mayor for me.
Ah, I think she's done.
And so am I.
Randy, you better drive.
What about DeWitt?
We'll pick him up.
Call Kramer and have
somebody go to his house,
and put an APB
on his vehicle.
Yes, sir.
What... What do I do?
You get some sleep.
We'll be back to pick you and
the dogs up in the morning.
No, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
The puppies, what do I do?
Mr. Monk, you don't
have to do anything.
She knows
what she's doing.
Bye, Shelby. Good job.
You have a lot of explaining
to do, young lady.
You're too late.
She's already had the litter.
What are you
gonna do, Steve?
Kill them all?
I suppose I am.
But I'm a witness, so
you'll have to kill me, too.
No, don't...
Don't... Don't move.
You just stay
where you are.
I don't think
you're a killer.
I think you
loved Amanda.
It was an accident.
I believe you.
She fell
and hit her head.
That's not murder.
It's manslaughter,
maybe obstruction.
That's bad, but it could be a lot worse.
Don't make it worse.
Don't make it worse.
It was an accident.
I know.
I know it was.
They're beautiful.
I know.
I'll take that one.
Okay.
Oh!
What's his name?
Uh, Exhibit B.
But you can call him
anything you want.
All right.
Say thank you.
Thank you.
We'll take good care of him,
we promise.
Okay.
Wait. Wait.
Uh, I can't do this.
I'm sorry.
I can't split them up.
They have
to stay together.
Mr. Monk,
I know it hurts,
and I know you're thinking
about your own family.
With dogs, it's different.
It's not different.
They're a family,
she's the mother,
they have to be together.
Here's the thing.
There are five dogs here.
You can't keep
them all. You're...
You know, you're you.
I know.
I know, I'm me.
How about this?
We'll take all of them.
Really?
The whole family,
including the mom.
We have three acres, it's all
fenced in. They'll love it.
Okay.
Okay, great.
I'll get her things.
Anne Marie,
you want to help?
Yeah.
Okay?
You can visit her anytime.
How about 2:00?
Okay, 2:00.
You mean, tomorrow?
Every day.
Every day?
Okay.
I'll go get her leash.
It's okay.
I know them.
They're a good family.
You'll be happy there.
Never alone, little one.
Never alone again.
