Monk (2002–2009): Season 8, Episode 15 - Mr. Monk and the End: Part 1 - full transcript

An investigation draws Monk back to the place where he first heard about Trudy's murder - but his fate has been unfortunately sealed as he retraces his steps on that fateful day.

That was really fun
last night.

I haven't been caroling
since, I don't know...

Since college, I guess.

I have to thank you
for that.

For what?

Well, just
making me do it.

Getting me out
of the house.

You're welcome.

And I have to thank you
for that other thing, too.

You know, marrying me.

Oh, look.



You're welcome.

Did you ever hear
anything about that woman?

What woman?

Uh, the midwife,
Wendy-something?

I overheard you
talking yesterday.

Oh, Wendy Stroud.
No, no, no, not yet.

No. It's been
three days,

and it looks like
she's really missing.

I was actually heading
down to the clinic now,

talk to her boss.
Hmm.

You forgot the onions.

Did I?

Are you okay?

Trudy?



You know,
it's really hard

being married
to a detective.

I never get to have
any secrets.

I'm fine.
It's nothing.

Just a little
overwhelmed.

I got so much to do.

Picking up medication
for Ambrose.

The bills are due.

I've got two articles
to proofread.

There's just
not enough time.

Okay.

Wait a minute.

That's new.

Is this for me? Adrian, don't open that.

I mean, come on,
it's a surprise.

Promise me you won't
open it till Christmas.

Okay, okay.

I won't open the digital
watch. See, I'm putting it back.

I love you.

I can't imagine why.

Is that you?
Hello?

Wendy Stroud has worked
here for 19 years.

She was the first midwife I hired.

Uh-huh. She ever
disappear before?

No. She's never
missed a day.

She's never even been
late, hence the phone call.

Hence we're here.

Has anyone else
heard from her?

Any of the
other nurses?

No, nobody's
heard from her.

And they're not nurses.
They're midwives. Right.

There's a difference.
A midwife is a qualified

autonomous practitioner,

specializing in the
natural birth experience.

Excuse me,
what are you doing?

I was... I was straightening
it out a little bit.

They're umbilical cords.
They're never straight.

Bet his was.

Excuse me.

Yeah, he's right here.

When?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll be right there.

Leland, what is it?

Something happen?

It's Trudy.

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

You don't have
to sleep like that.

Like what?

All scrunched up on
your side of the bed.

You're sleeping
by yourself, Adrian.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are,
my darling.

And you have
the whole bed.

You could sleep
in the middle.

I can't.

It's time to say
goodbye, Adrian.

I can't.

What? Why are
you smiling?

It won't be
much longer.

I'm really worried
about this dinner party.

It's gonna be fine.

I don't know what I'm
more nervous about,

Steven meeting Julie
or Julie meeting Steven.

You're still coming,
right? You promise?

I'll be there.
Do you need anything?

Oh! Thank you
for asking.

Maybe some wine.

Okay, red or white?

Maybe red. Would you pick some up?

Of course.

I saw Trudy
this morning.

Oh, that's a
good thing.

No, this was different.

She wanted me to start sleeping
in the middle of the bed,

and she said,
"It won't be much longer. "

Mr. Monk, really,
she said that?

That... That's big.
That's an omen.

I had a premonition you
were going to have an omen.

I know that
building.

Hey.

Pretty weird, huh?

What was it,
12 years ago?

Almost exactly.

The missing midwife,
remember?

I was on the telephone
right here.

And you were standing
there, that exact same spot.

Hey, buddy, if you want to pass on
this one, nobody would blame you.

No, no, I'm good.

You sure? 'Cause
it gets weirder.

Do you remember the
doctor we were talking to?

Nash, right?
Malcolm Nash.

He's our guest
of honor.

Oh, my God.

Don't ask.
Don't ask what?

Where I've been.
Were you gone?

Two weeks, on vacation,
but I can't talk about it.

It's personal. Were you in New York?

Your plane ticket
says Newark.

Can't confirm or deny.

You don't have to confirm
it. I can see your ticket.

Well, you'll never know. I already know.

I can see
your ticket.

Natalie, I can't talk
about this right now.

We're at a crime scene. Okay.

So apparently,
he was here working late.

I guess they're
updating their files.

He was scanning all their old
paperwork into the computer.

Scanning?

Scanning the...

Doesn't matter. Anyway,
he was at the computer.

Somebody
sneaks in,

comes up behind him,
bang, one in the back,

bang, one in the head,
.22 caliber.

There were some patients down the hall.

Didn't hear a thing.

Silencer.
A professional.

That's a safe bet.

They're all here.

What's all here?

Pill bottles.

See, here's the
inventory, 58 bottles.

And 58 bottles.

He didn't take
anything with him.

So it was a setup.

He wants us
to think junkie.

Looks like the killer
stuck around for a while.

He used the computer.

How do you know?

The mouse is
on the left side,

but Dr. Nash
is right-handed.

How do you
know that?

He was right-handed
12 years ago.

That
was the first thing

that Ethan said
when the Governor called.

He didn't say,
"I won't let you down,"

or, "Thank you for the
great honor. " He said...

I said, "Do I have to
move to Sacramento?"

Ethan will never move.
Here you go. Thank you.

I think he's gonna
be buried in this yard.

Well, I'm not gonna
move now.

I just fixed the
leaky shower upstairs.

And it only took you
14 years to do it.

Judge Rickover,
the police are here.

Oh, thank you.

Well, the A-Team
has arrived.

Captain.
Hey.

Lieutenant.
Sir.

Natalie.
Hello.

And the remarkable
Mr. Monk.

Good to see you again.

Sorry to bug you
on a Sunday, Judge,

but we've got a warrant here
that needs your signature.

All right, well, I'm
familiar with the file.

Wouldn't you like to
join us? Are you thirsty?

Actually, we're
on duty, sir.

Oh, well, of course
you are.

Well, let me
take a look.

Joey Kazarinski.

Why am I not surprised?

We sure it's him? Well, the MO matches.

He's left-handed. He uses
a. 22 with a silencer.

Plus we've got
a partial print.

Monk put it
all together.

Ah, well done,
Detective.

Well, everything
looks in order.

This is an historic
moment, really.

This could be the last search
warrant I'll be signing.

Please don't tell anyone.
It's not official yet.

But the Governor
called me yesterday.

He'd like me to commute
to Sacramento.

Hey, state Supreme Court.

Well, I guess it beats
working for a living.

Congratulations. Good luck to you.

Well, good luck
to all us.

Congratulations, sir.
Thank you.

Are they allowed
to do that?

Let's see.

Yes, they are.

Mrs. Kazarinski, your
husband's in serious trouble.

He's not my husband. Been
divorced for three years.

But he stays here. Sometimes.

Joey does
what he wants.

I can't stop him,
and neither can you.

Monk, what are you
doing? Straightening up.

We're trying to
intimidate this woman.

Give me a minute here.

Where's Natalie? Oh,
she's with her boyfriend.

I gave her the day off.

Would you
cut it out?

She's gonna want us
to come every Tuesday.

Look, Edie, we're trying
to protect Joey here.

If you tell us where he
is, we can pick him up

without anybody
getting hurt.

I don't care
if you kill him.

Hope you do.

Do you happen to have
a recent photograph?

The one we have
is over 10 years old.

Threw 'em out. Ripped
'em up and threw 'em out.

Wait, I think
I have one left.

He has
a white goatee.

That's not a goatee.

Hello.
It's me.

Hey, where the
hell are you at?

I've been waiting
like an hour.

Change of plans.

We won't be meeting again.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. At
least not in person.

Wait, is there
a problem?

Yeah, we have
a big problem.

You left a partial
fingerprint at the clinic.

They have your name.
They're looking for you.

It's gonna be okay, all
right? I've disappeared before.

Before you pack your bags,
I've got another job for you.

I figure you could use
another payday.

All right, well,
who is it?

A detective.

A former detective.

His name is Adrian Monk.

He's going to put two and two
together eventually.

In this case,
two and two equals me.

I'm afraid it will get
rather personal.

I can't afford that.

What do you
mean, "personal"?

I mean he would come
after me, try to kill me.

He'd probably succeed.

Now why would he want
to do something like that?

Because 12 years ago,

I killed his wife.

Oh, this is
for Mr. Monk.

This is for me.

For Mr. Monk.

This is for me.

Mr. Monk.

Me. Mr. Monk.

I'm sorry, I don't get it.
Why two separate carts?

Why can't we just separate
them when we get home?

Yeah, I stopped asking those
questions a long time ago.

Oh, honey mustard,
Julie's favorite.

Mine too.
Really?

That'll give you something
to talk about. Salad dressing.

I hope we have more in
common than salad dressing.

Teeger, relax.
It's gonna be great.

I'm gonna love her. Yeah, you better.

Besides, we both know we're
avoiding the real question here.

Uh-huh, which is?

Can I live with a woman
who loves asparagus?

Live with?
I didn't mean...

Live with, you said it. You said it.

It's a figure of speech. You did.

Oh, wait.

Excuse me, sorry.

That's our cart.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

They, um... They all look the same.

Yeah.

Live with...

You're not gonna let me
live this one down, are you?

So it was a Christmas gift
from your wife?

That's right. She gave it
to me just before she died.

Yeah, it's just sitting
on his bookcase unopened.

It's really romantic.

I'll... I'll never open it.

I can't open it.

It's the last secret
we have.

I think I understand.

It's a way of
keeping her alive.

Exactly.

So, Julie, your mom says
you're going to Berkeley.

Theater arts?
Yeah, that's the plan.

You gonna live at home? Oh, no way.

I'm already, you know,
all packed up.

Yeah, I don't want
to talk about it.

I can't believe she's
leaving the nest already.

I'll only be
30 minutes away, so...

This home will
just be a house.

Well, thanks, Mom. That was
a real conversation-killer.

So, Adrian, you working
on any interesting cases?

Uh, there was a homicide
at a birthing center.

Oh, that's ironic.

It was a
professional hit.

We know who did it,

but we just don't...

We just don't know why.

Mr. Monk, are you okay?

I'm fine.

I guess I'm just
not hungry.

I can usually
eat her food.

Mr. Monk, please
stop. Please.

There's a spot. It's
just not coming out.

There's another spot, here.

I'm seeing
spots all over.

I think he's sick.

Adrian.
Adrian, look at me.

He's burning up.

I think we should
get him to a hospital.

We're gonna need
some blood.

All right, Natalie,
give her some blood.

I mean your blood.

What are you doing?
What is that?

It's just a needle.
That is not a needle.

That thing's
10 feet long.

You've never
given blood before?

Nah.

Well, you've had
shots before.

I don't think so.

Well, there's a first
time for everything.

I need you to roll up your sleeve.

Oh, no, no, no.
No! No!

No, no.

Can you please
hold your friend?

It's okay. I got it. Wait, wait, wait.

All right, wait, wait.

I'm feeling better,
much...

I'm feeling much, much
better. It's a miracle.

No, Mr. Monk,
you're not better.

They need some blood.
Come on, just lay back.

No! Trust me, I'm a doctor.

It's okay.
Trust me.

Come on, it's okay.

No, no, no. Who are you calling?

Everybody. It's okay. It's okay.

Let's try this again.

No!

Hold him still.

Mr. Monk,
just calm down.

It's okay.
Here we go.

Here it is.
No!

It's all right.

You got it.

All done.

That wasn't so
bad, was it?

Piece of cake.

Mr. Monk, I'm
Dr. Matthew Shuler.

Uh-huh.

Sorry to keep
you waiting.

That's okay.

It's okay.

You know, I wish more people would wipe

their hands like that. We'd
have a lot fewer patients.

Oh, thank you.

Mr. Monk, I work in the
Hematology Department here.

In fact, I am the Hematology Department.

Hematology?
Rare blood disorders.

Dr. Shuler's one of the best
toxicologists in the country.

Mr. Monk,
we've never met.

How well do you
take bad news?

Oh, not well at all.
Not good.

I'm probably the worst.
Not good, not good.

I'd rather hear
the good news first.

I'm afraid there
is no good news.

There's always good news.
People say, "I have

"some good news
and some bad news. "

Not this time.

Mr. Monk, have you eaten
anything unusual lately?

Why do you ask?

Well, this is all
very preliminary,

and we are gonna have
to run a lot more tests,

but it looks like
Adrian's been poisoned.

Poisoned?
I said well done!

It was well done. You
should have seen it.

It was still pink.
It was bleeding.

I'm the worst cook
in the world.

Mr. Monk, if I gave you
food poisoning, I'm so sorry.

Can you forgive me? If you
gave me food poisoning, no.

Listen, we're not talking
about food poisoning here.

It is a lot more
serious than that.

This is some kind
of synthetic toxin.

Synthetic?

Yes, and we don't know
how it was introduced,

but we do know the dosage
is quite substantial.

Well... What?
I don't understand.

You've been
poisoned, Adrian.

Somebody is trying
to kill you.

And they may
have succeeded.

I found some
more mouthwash.

You want a seat? No, I'm okay.

Have a seat.

Okay, Randy,
I'm not pregnant.

I'm just dying.

Please stop
talking like that.

I'll stop talking
soon enough.

Oh, God, there he is.

Here he comes.

My God.

God. I hate the
way they walk.

This is the longest
hallway in the world.

Hey, how you feeling? Oh!

Um, scared.

Yeah.

Well, here's
what we know.

Everybody ate the
same food at Natalie's,

and nobody else
got sick.

So we're assuming it
wasn't introduced there.

I've sent a hazmat team
to your house,

and they've taken away
all the food they can find.

Are they gonna
put everything back?

After we're done
testing it.

Because I have
a system.

Adrian, they're gonna put it
back exactly the way it was, okay?

I promise. Now, I'm
afraid we still don't know

how you were introduced to this toxin.

Is that important?

Yes, it's
absolutely vital.

We know the toxin
in ricin-based,

but that's all
we know.

It could be one of
4,000 different compounds.

We can't treat you until the source
of the poison has been identified.

Can't you pump his stomach
or give him antibiotics?

I'm afraid it's
not that easy.

We need to identify
the specific toxin.

Now, of course we'll
try to manage your pain

as best we can.

So...

How long?

Two, maybe three days.

Now, you're gonna feel
normal for a while,

and then there's gonna be some vomiting,

followed by death.

Vomiting?
That's right.

Followed by death.

Vomiting.

Yes. Followed by death.

Vomiting!

Adrian, I really
need you to focus

on the last part
of that sentence.

There's gonna be
some vomiting

and then death.

Is there any chance

death could come
before the vomiting?

Two days?

Wish it were five.

Why?

'Cause it's a
bigger number.

What is this?

That's the suspect from
the birthing center.

We're still tracking
him down.

Birthing center?

Natalie, we've got more
important things to worry...

No, no, no, I've seen him before.

He was at the
supermarket.

When was this?
Yesterday.

He walked away with
Mr. Monk's shopping cart.

Shopping cart? Yeah, he had
it for 10, maybe 20 seconds.

Well, that's long enough. I mean, he
could have put something in the cart,

tampered with something.

Do you still have
the receipt?

Yeah, I think so.

Okay, listen,
we're gonna start there.

We'll test every single
item that was on that list.

Is there
enough time?

I don't know.

Thank you for coming.

I have to tell you
right off the bat

that is not an officially
sanctioned task force,

so nobody's gonna
get paid any overtime.

We're not here
for the money, Captain.

I appreciate that.
I'm sure Monk does, too.

All right, this is our
target, Joey Kazarinski.

A.k. a., Joey Kaz
or Joey K.

We think that Kazarinski
shot Dr. Nash last Friday,

and we think that he
poisoned Adrian Monk.

What's the connection?

Monk was working
the Nash case.

Other than that,
we don't know.

Now, we're gonna
split up into groups.

Half of you are gonna work
with Randy on the shooting.

They know who
you are, Randy.

I want to know everything
there is to know about Nash,

who he was,
who loved him,

more importantly,
who didn't love him.

The rest of us are
gonna find Kazarinski.

We're gonna turn over every
rock in Northern California.

Now, this guy
is dangerous.

He is armed.

He might be carrying
chemical agents,

so be careful, but, and
this is very important,

no guns.

You get a lead,
you phone it in.

You keep your gun
in your belt.

He must be taken alive.

If he dies, Monk dies.

Understood?
Good deal, let's go.

They'll find him.

You were with
Kazarinski yesterday.

We know that you
sold him some fake ID.

What was it, a driver's
license? Passport?

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

Ronnie, I don't have time
to dance with you today.

My friend is sick.
Do you understand?

Your friend is sick,
what does that mean?

It means that I
need that name.

I need to know the name that
Joey Kazarinski is using now.

You need a name?

What are you gonna do?

Hit me with a phone book?

There are no phone books
in here, Captain.

Nobody uses phone
books anymore.

They all use computers.

Yeah, you're right.

Did you get a name?
Yes, I did.

Oh, your
computer crashed.

5:24 limited
train to Redwood City,

Menlo Park, and points south
now boarding at gate 3.

The 5:24 limited, gate
3, is now boarding.

Mason, can you
see the ticket booth?

Roger that. Maintain your sight line.

His train is leaving in ten
minutes. He'll be here soon.

Remember, hit him hard, but no guns.

Keep your guns
in your holsters.

What about
that service entrance?

We got it covered,
the whole perimeter.

He's not gonna show.
He's gonna show.

He made his
reservation.

The train will be
here in 10 minutes.

He'll be here.

The 5:27 limited
from Oakland,

Berkeley, and points north
arriving at gate 6.

The 5:27 limited
arriving at gate 6.

Yeah, I got nothing,

He's not gonna show.

I'm gonna
miss all this.

You going somewhere?

No, no. You know,
I mean eventually.

Can't do this forever.

That's the 5:32
from San Jose.

Yeah, right on time.

Listen. I don't hear anything.

Me neither.

There was no
announcement.

Where's the announcer?

Control tower. Go. Go.

I think we may
have a 20 on the suspect.

Everybody hold
your positions.

Captain, the controller's
dead. He's been shot,

once in the back,
once in the head.

And there's lots of blood. Randy.

Randy, the microphone
is still on.

So much blood in here.
God, look at all the blood.

Randy, the
microphone's still on.

What? The microphone, it's still on.

I can still hear you.

No, wait, wait, hang on.
Hang on.

I can still hear you.
Randy, it's still on.

No, no, I got it.
I got it.

Kazarinski took his
jacket and his ID.

Think we should make an
announcement and warn everybody,

otherwise they might just be
sitting ducks down there.

Captain?

He's got a gun.
He's killed once.

He won't hesitate
to do it again.

Kazarinski!

Police!

Look out, police!

Joey.

Joey.

Joey, stop.

Kazarinski!

Joey.

Stop!

Joey!

Kazarinski!

Joey, look out!

Damn!

Joey!

The man who
poisoned you,

this Kazarinski, did he
say anything before he died?

He was hit
by a train.

He probably

said, "Train. "

They know what kind
of poison he used?

No, they found the
motel room he was using.

There were some
chemicals in the dumpster,

but it'll take them weeks
to analyze everything.

There isn't enough time.

How about the food
from your shopping cart?

No. All negative.
No trace of anything.

Adrian, I could have
met you at home

or at the hospital,
you know.

Nah, it's all right.
I was out anyway.

Natalie's driving me to
the cemetery to say goodbye.

I'm just so sorry.

You have nothing
to be sorry about.

I have everything
to be sorry about.

I've lived
like a prisoner.

I've been a prisoner
ever since Trudy.

I've wasted
so much time.

Just add it up.

I've probably
wasted three years

just washing
these hands.

Wait. Adrian, you're not being fair.

You know, you've been...

You are more productive
than anyone I know.

You've solved
over 120 major cases.

I didn't solve anything
if I didn't solve Trudy.

If I didn't keep
that promise to her,

didn't solve anything.

I've always hated
that painting.

All right, well,
I'm not giving up.

Doctors are performing
miracles every day.

So, I'm just gonna put all
your appointments in my book.

Three, four, five weeks
ahead of time.

All right, Adrian Monk,
Monday, 11:00 a. m.

Adrian Monk, yeah?
And Wednesday...

You're using a pencil.

...9:00 a. m. Oh! That
doesn't mean anything.

You never
use a pencil.

I didn't have a pen.

It's right there.
Your pen is right there.

It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.

It doesn't even...

My time is up.

Ha! My time is up.

Get it?

Goodbye, Dr. Bell.

No, Adrian, it's not
goodbye. Never goodbye.

Goodbye.

Did you talk
to the lab?

Yeah, I just got off
the phone with them.

He's not gonna make it.

Should I shut the door? I don't care.

Let 'em fire me.
I wish they would.

I had him all wrong.

I know that now.

I'd always thought
that Monk

was not all there,

like there was
something missing,

like he was less
than human.

But he wasn't
missing anything.

He was seeing
more than anybody.

He was feeling
more than anybody.

That was his problem.

He was too human.

If we had more like him,
we'd be better off.

I love you.

Is that it?

Sure you don't want
to say something else?

No, I can tell her
myself tomorrow.

Mr. Monk. Mr. Monk,
that was Dr. Shuler.

He really thinks you need
to be in the hospital.

No, I'm staying here.

Okay. Then we'll
stay here.

Can I get you anything?
How about some tea?

Uh-uh.

Just...

Trudy's gift.

No, Mr. Monk, no.

It's time.

Please.

Natalie, it's...

It's time.

It's a videotape.

Hello, Adrian.

If you're watching this,
it means I'm dead.

I know we said we'd never
have any secrets,

but there's something
I never told you.

Something happened,

something terrible,

years ago,
before we met.
