She said that? That's big! That's an omen.
I had a premonition you were gona have an omen! I know that building.

So apparently he was here working late.
Going over some files, scanning old paper work in the computer.

Anyway, he was at the computer, someone gets in, gets up behind him.
Bang, one in the back.
Bang, one on the head.
.
22 caliber.
There were some patients down the hall, but they didn't hear a thing.
- This sounds professional.
- That's a safe bet.
- They are all here.
- What's all here? The bottles.
Here is the inventory.
He didn't take anything.
So it was a setup.
He wanted us to think junkie.
Looks like the killer stuck around for awhile and 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.
Here's the thing Ethan said when the Governor called.
He didn't say "I won't let you down" or "Thank you for the big honor" He said-- - Do I have to move to Sacramento? Ethan will never move.
Here you go.
I think he's gonna be buried in this yard.
Hell I'm not gonna move now.
I just fixed the leaky shower upstairs.
And it only took you 14 years to do it.
??? - The police are here.
- Thank you.
Well, the A-Team has arrived.
Captain.
Luitenant ??? Natalie, and the remarkable Mr.
Monk.
Good to see you again.
Sorry to bug you in a sunday Judge, but we got a warrant here that needs your signature.
I'm familiar with the file.
Wouldn't you like to join us? Are you thirsty? - Actually we're on duty sir.
- Ah yes, of course you are.

Why I'm not surprised.
Sure its him? The M.

He uses a .
22 with a silencer.
Plus we got a parial print.
Monk put it all together.
Ha, well done Detective.
Well everything looks in order.
This is a historic moment, this could be my last warrant I sign.
Don't tell anyone its not official.
The governor wants me to commute to Sacramento.
Hey, State Supreme Court.
That beats working for a living.
congradulation.

??? - Are they allowed to do that? - Let's see.
Yes they are.
Mrs.
Kazarinsky, your husband is in serious trouble.
He is not my husband.
We've been divorced for 3 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.
Look, we're trying to intimidate this woman.
- Where's Natalie - She is with her boyfriend, I gave her the day off, Look Edith, we're trying to protect Joey here, if you tell us where he is and we'll pick him up.
I don't care if you kill him.
??? Hope you do.

Threw em out.
Ripped them up and threw them out.
Wait, I think i have one left.

Before you pack your bags, I've got another job for you, figure you could use the pay.
- All right who is it? - A Detective, a former Detective.
His name is Adrian Monk.
He is going to put 2 and 2 together eventually.
In this case, 2 and 2 equals: Me.
I'm afraid its gonna get rather personal.
?? - What do you mean personal? - I mean he would come after me, try to kill me.
??? - Why would he do something like that? Bacause 12 years ago.
I killed his wife.
This is for Mr.
Monk, This is for me, Mr.
Monk, me.

- I hope we have more in common than that.
- Teeger relax, its gonna be great.
I'll love her.

He keeps it on his bookcase, unopened.
It's very romantic.

It's the last secret we have.
- I understand is a way of keeping her alive.
??? So Julie, your mom says you are going to Berkley.
Theater Arts? - Yeah that's the plan.
- You'll live at home? - No, I'm already all packed up.
- I don't want to talk about it, I can't believe her leaving.
- Mom I'll only be 30 minutes away.
- This won't be a home, it'll just be a house.
- That's a nice conversation killer.
- So Adrian, you working on any interesting cases? - There was a homicide at a birthing center.
- That's ironic - It was a professional hit, we know who did it we just don't-- don't know why.
Mr.
Monk you ok? I'm fine.
I guess I'm just not hungry.
I can usually eat her food.
Mr.
Monk, please stop, please.
No there's a spotits not coming out.
another spot I'm seeing spots all over.
I think he's sick.
Adrian, look at me.
He is burning up.
We should get him to a hospital.
- I'm gonna need some blood.
- Natalie give her some.
- I need your blood.
- What is that? not a needle, that's 10 feet long.
Never given blood before? Well you've had shots before.
I don't think so.
We'll there's a first time for everything.
I need you to roll up your sleeve.
Can you please hold your friend? It's ok.
Wait wait wait.
I'm feeling much much better, its a miracle.
No you are not better, they need some blood.
Just lay back.
-Who you calling? - Everybody.
??? ?? Mr.
Monk.
I'm Dr.
Mathew Shule.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
- That's ok, ok.
I wish more people would wipe their hands like that.
We'd have a lot fewer patients.
Thank You.
Mr.
Monk I work in the Hematology Department.
In fact, I am the Hematology Department.
- Hematology? - Rare blood disorders.
??? Mr.
Monk we've never met.
How well do you take bad news? - oh oh not good.
- I'd rather hear the good news first.
- I'm afraid there is no good news.
- There is always good news.
- People say: "I have good news and some bad news" - Not this time.
- Have you eaten anything unusual lately? - Why do you ask? Well this is all very preliminary.
We'll have to run 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.
??? - If I gave you food poisoning can you forgive me? - If you gave me food poisoning, no.
Listen, we're not talking food poisoning here, it is a lot more serious than that.
This is some kind of synthetic toxin.
??? Yes, and we do not know how it was introduced, but the dosage was quite substancial.
??? You've been poisoned Adrian.
Somebody is trying to kill you.
And they may have succeded.
??? ?? - Monk sit down.
- It's ok Randy, I'm not pregnant, I'm dying.
- Please stop talking like that.
- I'll stop talking soon enough.
Oh god there he is.
Here he comes.
??? ?? I hate the way they walk.
This is the longest hallway in the world.
Hey how you feeling? Scared.
Here's what we know.
Everybody ate the same food at dinner.
Nobody else got sick.
So we're assuming it wasn't introduced there.
I sent a team to your house, take all the food they can find.
- Are they gonna put everything back? - After we're done testing.
- Cause I have a system-- - They are gonna put it exactly the way they found it.
?? But I'm afraid we still don't know how you were introduced to the toxin? - Is that important? - Is vital.
We only know its risin based But that's all we know, it can be 4000 different compunds.
We can't treat you until we know the source of the poison.
??? Can't you pump the stomach, or give him antibiotics? I'm afraid is not that easy.
We need to identify the specific toxin.
We'll try to manage your pain as best we can.
So, how long? You are gonna feel normal for awhile.
Then some vomiting followed by death.
Vomiting? That's right followed by death.
vomiting.
- Yes followed by Death.
- Adrian I need you to focus on the last part of that sentence.
??? Vomiting and then death.
Is there any chance death can come before the vomiting.
- Two days.
- Wish they were five.
- Why? - It's just a bigger number.
- Wait what is this? - The suspect from the brithing center, we're tracking down.
?? - Natalie we've got more important things-- - No, i've seen this guy.
At the supermarket.
- When was this? - Yesterday, walked away with Monk's shopping cart.
??? Yeah for about 20 seconds.
- Well that's long enough, he might have put something in the cart.
tampered with something.
- Do you still have the reciept? - Yeah I think so.
??? - We'll test every single item that was on that list.
- Is there enough time? I dont know.
Thank you for coming, I have to tell you right off the bat that this is not an officialy sanctioned task force.
- So nobody is gonna paid overtime.
- We're not here for the money Captain.
I appreciate that, I'm sure Monk does too.
Ok this is our target: Joey Kazarinsky.
- A.
k.
a, Joey Kaz, or Joey K.
We think Kazarinsky shot Dr.
Nash last friday and 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 anything about Dr.
Nash.
Who he was? Who loved him, Who didn't love him? The rest of us are gonna find Kazarisnky.
We're gonna turn every rock in North California.
Now this guy is dangerous he is armed, he might be carrying chemical agents.
Be careful, BUT, this is important.
No guns.
You get a lead, you phone it in.
Keep your gun in your belt.
We need him alive.
If he dies, Monk dies.
Understood? ??? They'll find him.
You were with Kazarinsky yesterday, we know you sold him some fake id, what was it? driver's license, passort? I dont know what your talking about.
I don't have time to dance with you today, my friend is sick.
??? - You're friend is sick, what does it mean? - it means that I need that name.
I need to know the name that Joey Kazarinsky is using now.
So you need the name? what you gonna do? hit me with a phonebook? There are no phonebooks in here Captain, nobody uses them, all use computers.
You know, you are right.
- Did you get a name? - Yes I did, but your computer crashed.
- Mason, can you see the ticket booth? - Roger that.
Maintain your sightline, his train is leaving in 10 minutes he'll be here soon.
Remember, hit him hard but no guns.
Keep them holstered.
- What about the service entrance? - We got it covered, the whole perimeter.
- He's not gonna show.
- He's gonna show, he made his reservations ???.
??? ????? ??? - Sigh, I'm gonna miss all this.
- You going somewhere? No, I mean eventually.
Can't do this forever.
That's the 532 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.
?? - I think we may have a 20 on the suspect, everybody hold positions.
Captain, the controller's dead he's been shot.
Twice in the back, one in the head.
- There's lots of blood.
- Randy! The Microphone is on! ??? Randy! The Microphone is on! The Microphone is still on.
??? ?? - Wait wait hang on.
- I can still hear you Randy! ??? Kazarinsky took his jacket and his ID.
Captain we should make an announcement.
??? Or else people down there would be sitting ducks.
Captain he has a gun, he's killed before won't hesitate to do it again.
Kazarinsky! Joey stop! Kazarinksy! Joey look out! Damn.
The man who poisoned you, this Kazarinsky.
Did he say anything before he died? He was hit by a train.
He probably said "Traain".
- 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 that'll take weeks to analyze.
- There isn't enough time.
- What about the food from your shopping carts? No, all negative.
No trace of anything.
Adrian, you know I could have gone to the hospital.
That's all right, Natalie is driving me to the cementery to say good bye.
I'm just so sorry, so sorry Adrian, 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 Trudywasted so much time.
It's added up.
I've wasted probably 3 years Just washing these hands.
Wait Adrian you are not being fair.
You've been, you ARE more productive than anyone I know.
Solved over 120 major cases.
I didn't solve anything, If I didn't solve Trudy's, I didn't keep my promise to her.

He is not gonna make it.
- Should I shut the door? - I don't care.
Let them fire me.
I wish they would.
I knew it along.
I know that know.
I always thought that Monk was not all there.
Like, something missing, Like he was less than human.
But he wasn't missing anything.
He was seeing more than anybody.
feeling more than anybody.
Hell that was his problem.
He was too human.
If we had more like him We'd be better off.
I love you.

Years ago before we met
