Previously on Monk.
Wait a minute.
That's new.
Is it for me?
Adrian, don't open that.
Promise me, you won't open it til Christmas.
Okay, put it back.
Hello?
She must've been meeting somebody.
But who?
Was it a story she was working on?
I do not know.
And I can't see it.
Why can't I see it?
I think you're too close to it, Monk.
I know that building.
Was it 12 years ago?
Almost exactly.
The missing midwife.
Do you remember the doctor we were talking to?
Nash, Right?
He's our guest of honor.
So Adrian, you working on any interesting cases?
Mr.
Monk, are you okay?
I'm seeing spots.
Adrian, look at me.
You've been poisoned Adrian.
Somebody is trying to kill you.
So, how long?
2, maybe 3 days.
We think that Kazarinsky shot Dr.
Nash last friday, and we think that he poisoned Adrian Monk.
He must be taken alive.
If he dies, Monk dies.
Kazarinsky!
Police!
Damn!
Trudy's gift.
It's time, to open it.
Hello, Adrian.
If you are watching this.
It means, I'm dead.
I know we said we'd never have any secrets.
But, there's something I've never told you.
Something happened.
Something terrible.
Years ago, before we met...
Season 08 Episode 16 (Series Finale) "Mr.
Monk and the End (Part Two)" # 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 # # do you know what's in the water that you drink # # well, I do, and it's a-ma-zing # # people think I'm crazy 'cause I worry all the time # # if you paid attention, you'd be worried too # # you'd 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 it's a jungle out there # # it's a jungle out there ## Mr Monk, you have to push "Play."
It's been over 2 hours.
It's okay, it's okay.
Here we go.
I know you've always idealize me.
You think I'm some kind of fate.
But sweetheart, I'm not perfect.
I made a mistake.
A big mistake.
It was 15 years ago.
Before we met.
I had an affair.
Oh.
with my law professor.
But he was married at the time.
I swear, I didn't know that.
Anyway, we uh, I...
was...
pregnant.
I know you're disappointed.
I didn't love him.
I didn't, really know him.
But I loved being pregnant.
It was a girl.
She was born January 2nd 1983.
She died the same day.
She lived for 9 minutes.
I never, saw her.
Never saw her.
Anyway, the father, the professor, he's name is Ethan Rickover.
And...
Rickover.
The remarkable Mr.
Monk.
Good to see you again.
He's a judge now.
He's just been nominated to the Court of Appeals.
Which is why I'm making this tape.
Because the woman who've been missing all week, Wendy Straud, she is the midwife who delivered my daughter.
The missing midwife.
The missing midwife.
I don't know what to think, tell me what to think.
Mr.
Monk, press the "Play".
And Ethan called me, yesterday.
And I'm just out of the blue, I haven't talked to him over 10 years.
And he wants to meet me tomorrow.
And I don't know, maybe, hell maybe I'm just paranoid, but, there was just something, in his voice, it just, It scared me, you know?
And Ethan had a, he has a dark side.
I mean, I know it, I've seen it.
I know what he is capable of.
Anyway.
That's why I'm making this tape.
And if I'm wrong, which I'm sure I am, and, nothing happens, I'll just, switch it out for the digital watch that you've been asking for.
But if I'm right, and something happens, I want you to know everything.
Cause you deserve to know everything, Adrian.
You are more than love of my life.
You are my life.
You are...
my life.
Mr.
Monk, I'm so sorry.
What are you doing?
Ethan Rickover.
What're you gonna do?
Mr Monk, can I just call the captain.
Why didn't she tell me?
Mr Monk, everybody has secrets.
She loved you.
She didn't want to disappoint you.
That tape, had been on my bookshelf, this whole time.
I've been looking at it for, for 12 years.
Mr.
Monk, look at you, you can't go anywhere.
I'm going.
No, Mr.
Monk, come on, you're sick.
I'm not gonna die.
I'm not gonna die.
Not yet.
Judge Rickover, I would like to return to one of your earlier decisions.
Herrura versus California.
You were the Deputy Solicitor General on that brief, is that correct?
That's correct, Senator.
That was a death penalty case, which we held the prisonor, Mr.
Herrura.
was entitled only to relieve in the leniency process.
Is that an opinion you still hold?
To be honest, Senator, I'm not sure.
The law has changed, I have changed.
I was 28 years old then, thought I knew everything.
Ha ha, you're aware of course, there are cases pending which had similar circumstances.
and some of them involve recent advances in DNA evidence.
Judge Rickover?
Yes, Senator, I don't think it's an good idea to re-write the Constitution, just because there's been a scientific break-through.
The basic principles of Common Law haven't changed, they never do.
The issue is, application, in a new context.
And is context always the overriding factor?
Excuse me?
Uh, is context always the overriding factor?
In my opinion, yeah, these are the same basic principles that have animated our Common Law system since the time of John Cook.
But, you know I'm not here to teach high-school civic, am I?
Ha ha ha.
Actually, I wish you would.
I think some of us could certainly use it.
Senator, it's been a long morning.
If I, if I might, could I ask for a brief recess?
I think that's an excellent idea.
We can all use some air.
Uh, we can reconvene at 10:15.
Well, Mr.
Monk, what a surprise.
I heard you were sick.
No, no.
No, I'm, I'm feeling much better.
Much, much better.
That's a relieve.
So, you came all the way downtown, just to cheer me on?
It's nice.
I'm here because you killed my wife.
I'm sorry?
You heard me.
Trudy...
Alison.
She was a student of yours at Berkeley.
You had an affair with her.
She got pregnent.
And 12 years ago, when you were nominated for the Appeal Court, you made sure that story never got out.
You killed 2 women.
Wendy Straud, Nm-nm.
was the midwife at the birth.
My wife.
Well, they told me to expect this.
They said that at every confirmation hearing, the nuts just come out of woodward.
Judge Rickover, we know the whole story.
Oh really?
Mr Monk, I taught thousands of students at Berkeley.
Some of them were unstable.
More than just a few had crushes on me, but please, where's your proof?
Where is the child?
The baby died.
The baby died.
Birth record, paper trails...
Gone!
It's all gone.
You took care of that.
You sent Joey Kazarinski to the birthing center last week.
They're updating the files, the director must have found something about Trudy, about the baby.
So you had him killed.
You've been covering your tracks for 26 years.
No, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
Mr.
Monk is sick, he's seriously ill.
He's obviuosly not thinking straight.
She made, a tape, Judge.
She made, a tape.
Of course she did.
The woman was delusional.
I remember.
Trudy...
Alison.
Alison, yes, she She follow me around.
She wrote me letters.
Phone calls 2-3 in the morning.
I remember that she also claimed she was pregnent.
She probably believed it too, she was quite an unstable woman.
Apparently you had a lot in common.
Huh!
Mr.
Monk!
Mr.
Monk!
No.
Mr.
Monk.
No, Mr.
Monk!
Stop.
Mr.
Monk, please!
This is not over!
This is not over!
Yes, it is.
Yeah, I know.
The doctor is in with him right now.
So we still don't know.
I better call you later.
I love you.
Who was that?
That was the Deputy Commissioner.
Deputy Commissioner, Patrick Watson?
Yeah, that's right.
You said, "I love you."
I do, love him.
I think he is doing a great job.
Why, why, you don't think he's..
I, I, I think he's doing a fine job, but I don't tell him that I love him.
Maybe you should, it's just common courtesy.
It's not common courtesy.
Well, I think you're doing a great job.
I love you.
Okay, Randy.
I'm sorry I asked.
When you're ready to tell me what it's really going on, don't.
Doctor.
How is our boy?
He's stable.
Actually, he's better than stable.
His vital signs have improved.
We're not sure why.
That'll be the hatred.
Pure malice is the best medicine in the World.
Can we can see him?
Yeah.
That was easy.
4 days ago, you're a bucking bongo.
4 days ago, it was years ago.
I'll be back later with your pills.
5 minutes, don't get him excited.
Okay.
Hey.
Hey.
Where is, where is Natalie?
She's uh, back at your place, getting you clothes.
Why, need, I can't go home?
Buddy, you're lucky, you're not in jail.
You've been charged with assault, and, threatening a sitting judge.
Yeah, some Judge.
We know.
We've been digging around.
It all checks out.
Dr.
Nash had a second cell phone.
He called Rickover half a dozen times.
We figure he's trying to blackmail him, and Rickover hired Kazarinski to kill him.
Give him, give him the files.
I'll put it there.
You got it.
You found him.
How does it feel?
It's not over.
It's not over.
Just the air...
the air that I'm breathing in is filthy, he's breathing the same air.
I know, buddy.
Look.
We're gonna get him, I promise you.
This is me promising you, the son of a bitch is going down.
Randy, close the door.
Close the door.
Leland...
Listen.
I won't be there.
Oh, not say, don't talk like that.
Don't give up.
Nobody is giving up.
The doctor's working around the clock.
Leland ...
Kill him.
Promise me.
Yes, well, I, I, I, I promise.
Yes, I'll, I'll do it.
There won't a trial.
You're lying.
Sweety, that's the wrong pillow.
It is?
Yeah, he needs his Trudy pillow.
It's in the closet, in a plastic case.
She slept on it, he can still smell her.
Wow, is that Trudy's car?
Yeah, well, at least he knows.
If he doesn't make it, at least he'll die knowing.
What are you doing?
There is something, missing here.
Something wrong.
I'll tell you what's wrong.
You shouldn't be sitting up.
Look at you.
You're edutating yourself.
I'm sure whatever it is can wait.
No, no, not this one.
Can't wait.
Not this one.
This guy killed 3 people.
This man?
You never can tell, can't you?
No, he's covering up an affair he had.
Is that all?
It doesn't seem right, nobody cares about affairs anymore.
So I was thinking, there's got to be something else, there has to be more to it.
The doctor wants you to sleep tonight.
I'm leaving this here.
It'll put you right out.
Sleep is the best medicine.
I'll never move.
Parton me?
That's what they said.
I heard them talking.
Ethan will never move.
I think he'll be buried in this yard.
So, why won't he move?
What it is about that house?
Wait, hold on, this...
If we forgot anything, we can always come back.
Oh!
Steven!
Natalie, are you all right?
I don't know.
I don't feel so good.
Oh, spots, I'm seeing spots.
Oh my God.
Ah, it's the poison, it's the same as Mr.
Monk.
I don't understand, I've been with you all day, you haven't eaten a thing.
Oh, my God.
Natalie?
Hey, what is it?
Rickover, he, Rickover at the hearing.
Mr.
Monk drop a wipe.
I thought you were sick.
I'm feeling much better, much, much better.
He used his pen.
He didn't want to touch it.
Okay, it's in the wipes.
That's how we missed it.
We assume it's the food.
We're gonna get you to the hospital.
We have the source now, we can break it down, we'll have an antidote in, 2 hours.
And Mr.
Monk?
He'll be fine.
You gotta tell him, you gotta call him.
Okay, I'm calling him.
Nurses' station, this is Judie.
You can call him directly?
Really?
Okay.
I'll go check.
Kenny?
Kenny, what happened?
Was it raining out there?
It's really coming down.
Captain, here you are.
Looking all over for you.
You ever heard?
A good lawyer?
There's a cure.
There's a cure.
Yeah, for Monk, they isolated the poison.
It was on his wipes.
Ha ha, the wipes.
That's great news, there's a cure, come on let's jump on my van to the hospital.
We can celebrate.
He is not there.
Who's not there?
Monk, he escaped.
Well, he drugged the cop and took his gun.
Okay, come on, let's go, we can take your car.
Where're we going?
To stop Monk.
Doing what?
The wrong thing.
Your garage was open.
I borrowed a shovel.
Pick it up.
Pick it up.
Over there.
Are you gonna kill a federal judge tonight?
I'm the Judge.
Over there, let's go, let's go.
Good, good, good, step on it, step on it.
Step on it.
Go, go, go.
Go.
Car!
Car!
Car!
Just go.
Go!
O Jesus!
Sorry.
Sorry.
Where the hell is the siren?
In the back.
What's it doing at the back?
I haven't use it for 10 months.
Why?
You think all the bad guys gone retired?
That crime is over?
Died Hell?
What is all this crap?
Yard sale.
You bought all this?
No, I'm selling it.
Selling all these?
Hey, are these my barbells?
No, they're mine.
I'd lent you my barbells last year.
These're my barbells.
Didn't they all have the same look?
My initials on them.
Okay, maybe those are yours.
Just take them.
I'm not gonna take them now, we're in the middle of thing.
Couldn't find the siren.
I might have sold it.
All right, Detective Monk.
What now?
Dig.
Should I dig boarder cause you're gonna be dead by morning.
Dig.
Not there.
Over there.
By the sun dial.
Over there.
Stop.
Go on.
Go on.
Oh, no, no, no, don't take Benworth.
What the hell, are you crazy?
Slump, I'm gonna go left.
We got it all corners.
Sorry, sorry.
Go on, go on, go left.
Step on it, step on it.
Step on it!
Squad car are already here.
Monk can get himself shot.
What the hell!
Hoo-la!
Come on!
Come on, come on.
Move the truck, Police on emergency.
Get out!
Come on!
Come on!
Guess we've got a siren.
Keep digging.
Sir, I'm not gonna tell you again.
I want you to put the weapon down.
No.
We're not done yet.
I'm gonna bring up a sorrow subject here, I don't want you to over-react.
But Trudy and I used to talk about capital punishment all the time.
She never believes it.
Shut up!
Just shut it!
You mention her name again, it'll be the last word you ever say.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Stottlemeyer, Homicide, you guys just relax.
Everyone, everybody take a deep breath.
Relax.
Hold your fire.
Okay, it's close enough.
Monk.
Monk, put the gun down, buddy!
You don't want to do this.
You don't have to do this.
Hey!
Who told you to stop.
Keep going.
Keep going.
Monk!
Monk!
Listen to me.
They've identify the poison.
It was on your wipes.
Monk, it's on your hand wipes.
We have the antidote, we have to get you to a hospital.
We can figure it out what to do with him later.
What was that?
That is Wendy Straud.
The midwife from 12 years ago?
Yeah.
Bones.
It's human skull.
I couldn't figure it out, why you wouldn't move.
Get CSI down here now.
Then I remember the sundial, under the tree.
Why would anyone put a sundial under a big tree like this, in the shade.
Didn't make any sense.
12 years ago, when he was nominated the Federal bench, his name was in all the papers.
Wendy Straud must have seen it.
Right?
Right!
She said she found Jesus, she was born again.
She couldn't live with a guilt.
She's gonna tell everyone about me and Trudy, and the child.
So you killed her?
And then Trudy?
And for what?
For nothing!
Monk!
Monk!
Monk!
For posadki!
For posadki!
Monk!
No!
Rickover, put the gun down!
No!
No!
You take care of her.
Apparent I want to cry.
The last time you were here, What was that?
Two weeks ago?
Week and a half.
Week and a half, you looked horrible.
Now, look at you.
You look great.
It's like a miracle.
It was a miracle.
So, finally.
After 12 years.
12 long years.
Closure.
Closure.
How do you feel?
FIne.
I'm good.
So, how do you feel?
I know how I'm suppose to feel.
I'm suppose to feel like I'm finally happy?
I finally at peace.
But?
I feel, empty.
Well, that's not surprising.
Adrian, you spent most of your adult life looking for the man who killed your wife.
It's that search kept you going.
Now, it's gone.
So, what is next?
What're you doing when you wake up tomorrow?
What do you care about?
Now these, these are difficult choices.
Something else.
Something has been nagging me.
Which is just before Ethen Rickover died.
He said, "Take care of her."
Take care of Who?
I don't know.
I'll probably never know.
All right, you want my advice?
And I assume you do, because you are here.
Let it go.
All right.
It's ancient history.
It's time for Adrian Monk to set sail into the great unknown.
I hate the great unknown.
How do you know?
It's unknown.
If it's unknown, how do you know it's great.
Good point.
Maybe it's the not so great unknown, but it's out there, and it's waiting for you.
And there is no reason for you to be afraid of it.
Mr.
Monk, what should I write?
Mr.
Monk, what should I write on the box?
Case closed. "
Case closed", I like the sound of that.
Shoot!
The "e" is crooked.
Is that okay, or should I get another box?
Mr Monk?
What are you reading? "
A midwife is still missing.
Presumed dead."
It's an old article about Wendy Straud.
It's on the bottom of this section. "
Miss Straud made headline 15 years ago, January 2, 1983, when she found a newborn infant girl."
...playground, and brought to an local orphanage. "
1983?
Take care of her.
Excuse me?
Rickover's last words.
It wasn't the affair, Natalie.
This is what he was covering up.
It was the baby.
It didn't die.
The baby lived.
Trudy didn't know.
She never knew it.
They lied to her.
Her daughter lived.
They put her up for adoption.
She is alive and she's out there somewhere.
Trudy's daughter.
He's standing right here.
I'll tell him.
Are you ready?
They found her, her name is Molly.
Molly.
Molly Evans.
She was adopted 25 years ago by Andrew and Beth Evans.
She is unmarriage, lives in Monterey County and get this ...
She writes movie reviews for the Cronicle.
All right, it makes sense, Trudy was a writer.
Monterey County, that's 20 minutes away.
Yeah, Family Services have already contacted her, and she would love to meet you.
I can't do it.
Sure you can.
No.
What if she doesn't like me?
I mean, a lot of people don't like me.
Well I'm not crazy about me.
I can't do it.
I'm not doing it.
I would rather keep things where they are.
Like things where they are.
No, you don't.
Mr Monk.
You have to go.
I'm telling you.
You have to go.
This is a gift, Mr.
Monk.
Trudy sent you a gift.
She sent you someone to love.
That's what you've been missing.
I'll see you later.
Molly?
Yeah.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Yeah, this's her parallel parking.
Ya, she's an excellent driver.
She never had a single parking ticket.
Ya, here we are, this is us having lunch.
She eat uh, 5 times a week.
She's a vegetarian, but she eat fish.
You took all these pictures?
Yes.
Oh, she is drinking coffee.
It's Kona Blend, sometimes she has the Columbian.
Monk, there's gonna be 600 pictures.
Well, the rest are still being developed.
You've only known her for 3 days.
I feel like I've known her forever.
She feels the same way, she actually said that.
These are her adoptive parents.
Oh.
That's uh, Andy and Beth, they are great.
He's a little bit overweight...
He's uh, retired othorologist.
This is her new boyfriend, Kyle.
He's 2 years younger than she is.
She doesn't know how he feels about that.
And this is, this is her telling me not to take so many pictures.
This is her trying to take the camera away.
Oh, guess what else?
You know the internet?
She is on it.
Really?
She make it come?
Oh yeah, yeah.
She has her own website.
It is called the "blog", really.
Yeah, that's what it called. "

Yeah, I'll check it out when I'm ready.
What is this? "
To Leland".
You're writing me a letter. "

I've been holding onto it all week.
I was waiting for the right time.
I guess this is the right time.
Randy...

Not for me.
There are lots of other Trudys out there.
And I think you're obligated to help them.
You have a gift.
And a curse.
It's not a curse, it's a gift.
Can't you see that?
Maybe that's why I'm here, to remind you.
What?
That's exactly what your mother used to say.
Really?
What was she like?
She snore.
She did.
Yeah.
She never believe me.
One night I taped her with a tape recorder, she still didn't believe it.
She loved Willie Nelson.
When she was thinking, she'd stick out her tongue like this.
Oh, my God!
I do that all the time.
I know.
I love it when you do that.
What are you doing?
Cutting out the recipe for making dinner for Steven.
You wanna come?
You should come.
Ah, no, thank you.

What kind of plans?
With Molly.
We're going to the movies.
You're going to the movies?
Yeah.

It's that strange at all.
That is why I'm crying.

Checking the stove.
Make sure it's off.
Yes, good idea, you don't want to get all the way downtown and not be sure.
Well, actually, this happened to me once.
Really?
Yeah.
(as in Season 01 Episode 01) "When I'm gone" by Randy Newman # The time for us to say goodbye is near # # The hour would never come is here # # Though many hearts are broken we must somehow carry on # # Cause I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone # # I thought my life was over when we met # # So little to remember, so much to forget # # Though it was you who saw me through the darkness to the dawn # # Still I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone # # I'm a modest man.
And it hurts me to say these things to you # # After all we've been through it's the least that I can do # # So instead of just goodbye I'll say so long # # And as for the light by which you see me leave it on # # I'm a better man than I was before # # knowing you has made me strong # # Still I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone # # I'm a better man than I was before # # knowing you has made me strong # # and I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone # # Yes I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone ## This is the End of the "Monk" TV Series.
So long Monk.
So long Everyone.
Wait a minute.
That's new.
Is it for me?
Adrian, don't open that.
Promise me, you won't open it til Christmas.
Okay, put it back.
Hello?
She must've been meeting somebody.
But who?
Was it a story she was working on?
I do not know.
And I can't see it.
Why can't I see it?
I think you're too close to it, Monk.
I know that building.
Was it 12 years ago?
Almost exactly.
The missing midwife.
Do you remember the doctor we were talking to?
Nash, Right?
He's our guest of honor.
So Adrian, you working on any interesting cases?
Mr.
Monk, are you okay?
I'm seeing spots.
Adrian, look at me.
You've been poisoned Adrian.
Somebody is trying to kill you.
So, how long?
2, maybe 3 days.
We think that Kazarinsky shot Dr.
Nash last friday, and we think that he poisoned Adrian Monk.
He must be taken alive.
If he dies, Monk dies.
Kazarinsky!
Police!
Damn!
Trudy's gift.
It's time, to open it.
Hello, Adrian.
If you are watching this.
It means, I'm dead.
I know we said we'd never have any secrets.
But, there's something I've never told you.
Something happened.
Something terrible.
Years ago, before we met...
Season 08 Episode 16 (Series Finale) "Mr.
Monk and the End (Part Two)" # 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 # # do you know what's in the water that you drink # # well, I do, and it's a-ma-zing # # people think I'm crazy 'cause I worry all the time # # if you paid attention, you'd be worried too # # you'd 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 it's a jungle out there # # it's a jungle out there ## Mr Monk, you have to push "Play."
It's been over 2 hours.
It's okay, it's okay.
Here we go.
I know you've always idealize me.
You think I'm some kind of fate.
But sweetheart, I'm not perfect.
I made a mistake.
A big mistake.
It was 15 years ago.
Before we met.
I had an affair.
Oh.
with my law professor.
But he was married at the time.
I swear, I didn't know that.
Anyway, we uh, I...
was...
pregnant.
I know you're disappointed.
I didn't love him.
I didn't, really know him.
But I loved being pregnant.
It was a girl.
She was born January 2nd 1983.
She died the same day.
She lived for 9 minutes.
I never, saw her.
Never saw her.
Anyway, the father, the professor, he's name is Ethan Rickover.
And...
Rickover.
The remarkable Mr.
Monk.
Good to see you again.
He's a judge now.
He's just been nominated to the Court of Appeals.
Which is why I'm making this tape.
Because the woman who've been missing all week, Wendy Straud, she is the midwife who delivered my daughter.
The missing midwife.
The missing midwife.
I don't know what to think, tell me what to think.
Mr.
Monk, press the "Play".
And Ethan called me, yesterday.
And I'm just out of the blue, I haven't talked to him over 10 years.
And he wants to meet me tomorrow.
And I don't know, maybe, hell maybe I'm just paranoid, but, there was just something, in his voice, it just, It scared me, you know?
And Ethan had a, he has a dark side.
I mean, I know it, I've seen it.
I know what he is capable of.
Anyway.
That's why I'm making this tape.
And if I'm wrong, which I'm sure I am, and, nothing happens, I'll just, switch it out for the digital watch that you've been asking for.
But if I'm right, and something happens, I want you to know everything.
Cause you deserve to know everything, Adrian.
You are more than love of my life.
You are my life.
You are...
my life.
Mr.
Monk, I'm so sorry.
What are you doing?
Ethan Rickover.
What're you gonna do?
Mr Monk, can I just call the captain.
Why didn't she tell me?
Mr Monk, everybody has secrets.
She loved you.
She didn't want to disappoint you.
That tape, had been on my bookshelf, this whole time.
I've been looking at it for, for 12 years.
Mr.
Monk, look at you, you can't go anywhere.
I'm going.
No, Mr.
Monk, come on, you're sick.
I'm not gonna die.
I'm not gonna die.
Not yet.
Judge Rickover, I would like to return to one of your earlier decisions.
Herrura versus California.
You were the Deputy Solicitor General on that brief, is that correct?
That's correct, Senator.
That was a death penalty case, which we held the prisonor, Mr.
Herrura.
was entitled only to relieve in the leniency process.
Is that an opinion you still hold?
To be honest, Senator, I'm not sure.
The law has changed, I have changed.
I was 28 years old then, thought I knew everything.
Ha ha, you're aware of course, there are cases pending which had similar circumstances.
and some of them involve recent advances in DNA evidence.
Judge Rickover?
Yes, Senator, I don't think it's an good idea to re-write the Constitution, just because there's been a scientific break-through.
The basic principles of Common Law haven't changed, they never do.
The issue is, application, in a new context.
And is context always the overriding factor?
Excuse me?
Uh, is context always the overriding factor?
In my opinion, yeah, these are the same basic principles that have animated our Common Law system since the time of John Cook.
But, you know I'm not here to teach high-school civic, am I?
Ha ha ha.
Actually, I wish you would.
I think some of us could certainly use it.
Senator, it's been a long morning.
If I, if I might, could I ask for a brief recess?
I think that's an excellent idea.
We can all use some air.
Uh, we can reconvene at 10:15.
Well, Mr.
Monk, what a surprise.
I heard you were sick.
No, no.
No, I'm, I'm feeling much better.
Much, much better.
That's a relieve.
So, you came all the way downtown, just to cheer me on?
It's nice.
I'm here because you killed my wife.
I'm sorry?
You heard me.
Trudy...
Alison.
She was a student of yours at Berkeley.
You had an affair with her.
She got pregnent.
And 12 years ago, when you were nominated for the Appeal Court, you made sure that story never got out.
You killed 2 women.
Wendy Straud, Nm-nm.
was the midwife at the birth.
My wife.
Well, they told me to expect this.
They said that at every confirmation hearing, the nuts just come out of woodward.
Judge Rickover, we know the whole story.
Oh really?
Mr Monk, I taught thousands of students at Berkeley.
Some of them were unstable.
More than just a few had crushes on me, but please, where's your proof?
Where is the child?
The baby died.
The baby died.
Birth record, paper trails...
Gone!
It's all gone.
You took care of that.
You sent Joey Kazarinski to the birthing center last week.
They're updating the files, the director must have found something about Trudy, about the baby.
So you had him killed.
You've been covering your tracks for 26 years.
No, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
Mr.
Monk is sick, he's seriously ill.
He's obviuosly not thinking straight.
She made, a tape, Judge.
She made, a tape.
Of course she did.
The woman was delusional.
I remember.
Trudy...
Alison.
Alison, yes, she She follow me around.
She wrote me letters.
Phone calls 2-3 in the morning.
I remember that she also claimed she was pregnent.
She probably believed it too, she was quite an unstable woman.
Apparently you had a lot in common.
Huh!
Mr.
Monk!
Mr.
Monk!
No.
Mr.
Monk.
No, Mr.
Monk!
Stop.
Mr.
Monk, please!
This is not over!
This is not over!
Yes, it is.
Yeah, I know.
The doctor is in with him right now.
So we still don't know.
I better call you later.
I love you.
Who was that?
That was the Deputy Commissioner.
Deputy Commissioner, Patrick Watson?
Yeah, that's right.
You said, "I love you."
I do, love him.
I think he is doing a great job.
Why, why, you don't think he's..
I, I, I think he's doing a fine job, but I don't tell him that I love him.
Maybe you should, it's just common courtesy.
It's not common courtesy.
Well, I think you're doing a great job.
I love you.
Okay, Randy.
I'm sorry I asked.
When you're ready to tell me what it's really going on, don't.
Doctor.
How is our boy?
He's stable.
Actually, he's better than stable.
His vital signs have improved.
We're not sure why.
That'll be the hatred.
Pure malice is the best medicine in the World.
Can we can see him?
Yeah.
That was easy.
4 days ago, you're a bucking bongo.
4 days ago, it was years ago.
I'll be back later with your pills.
5 minutes, don't get him excited.
Okay.
Hey.
Hey.
Where is, where is Natalie?
She's uh, back at your place, getting you clothes.
Why, need, I can't go home?
Buddy, you're lucky, you're not in jail.
You've been charged with assault, and, threatening a sitting judge.
Yeah, some Judge.
We know.
We've been digging around.
It all checks out.
Dr.
Nash had a second cell phone.
He called Rickover half a dozen times.
We figure he's trying to blackmail him, and Rickover hired Kazarinski to kill him.
Give him, give him the files.
I'll put it there.
You got it.
You found him.
How does it feel?
It's not over.
It's not over.
Just the air...
the air that I'm breathing in is filthy, he's breathing the same air.
I know, buddy.
Look.
We're gonna get him, I promise you.
This is me promising you, the son of a bitch is going down.
Randy, close the door.
Close the door.
Leland...
Listen.
I won't be there.
Oh, not say, don't talk like that.
Don't give up.
Nobody is giving up.
The doctor's working around the clock.
Leland ...
Kill him.
Promise me.
Yes, well, I, I, I, I promise.
Yes, I'll, I'll do it.
There won't a trial.
You're lying.
Sweety, that's the wrong pillow.
It is?
Yeah, he needs his Trudy pillow.
It's in the closet, in a plastic case.
She slept on it, he can still smell her.
Wow, is that Trudy's car?
Yeah, well, at least he knows.
If he doesn't make it, at least he'll die knowing.
What are you doing?
There is something, missing here.
Something wrong.
I'll tell you what's wrong.
You shouldn't be sitting up.
Look at you.
You're edutating yourself.
I'm sure whatever it is can wait.
No, no, not this one.
Can't wait.
Not this one.
This guy killed 3 people.
This man?
You never can tell, can't you?
No, he's covering up an affair he had.
Is that all?
It doesn't seem right, nobody cares about affairs anymore.
So I was thinking, there's got to be something else, there has to be more to it.
The doctor wants you to sleep tonight.
I'm leaving this here.
It'll put you right out.
Sleep is the best medicine.
I'll never move.
Parton me?
That's what they said.
I heard them talking.
Ethan will never move.
I think he'll be buried in this yard.
So, why won't he move?
What it is about that house?
Wait, hold on, this...
If we forgot anything, we can always come back.
Oh!
Steven!
Natalie, are you all right?
I don't know.
I don't feel so good.
Oh, spots, I'm seeing spots.
Oh my God.
Ah, it's the poison, it's the same as Mr.
Monk.
I don't understand, I've been with you all day, you haven't eaten a thing.
Oh, my God.
Natalie?
Hey, what is it?
Rickover, he, Rickover at the hearing.
Mr.
Monk drop a wipe.
I thought you were sick.
I'm feeling much better, much, much better.
He used his pen.
He didn't want to touch it.
Okay, it's in the wipes.
That's how we missed it.
We assume it's the food.
We're gonna get you to the hospital.
We have the source now, we can break it down, we'll have an antidote in, 2 hours.
And Mr.
Monk?
He'll be fine.
You gotta tell him, you gotta call him.
Okay, I'm calling him.
Nurses' station, this is Judie.
You can call him directly?
Really?
Okay.
I'll go check.
Kenny?
Kenny, what happened?
Was it raining out there?
It's really coming down.
Captain, here you are.
Looking all over for you.
You ever heard?
A good lawyer?
There's a cure.
There's a cure.
Yeah, for Monk, they isolated the poison.
It was on his wipes.
Ha ha, the wipes.
That's great news, there's a cure, come on let's jump on my van to the hospital.
We can celebrate.
He is not there.
Who's not there?
Monk, he escaped.
Well, he drugged the cop and took his gun.
Okay, come on, let's go, we can take your car.
Where're we going?
To stop Monk.
Doing what?
The wrong thing.
Your garage was open.
I borrowed a shovel.
Pick it up.
Pick it up.
Over there.
Are you gonna kill a federal judge tonight?
I'm the Judge.
Over there, let's go, let's go.
Good, good, good, step on it, step on it.
Step on it.
Go, go, go.
Go.
Car!
Car!
Car!
Just go.
Go!
O Jesus!
Sorry.
Sorry.
Where the hell is the siren?
In the back.
What's it doing at the back?
I haven't use it for 10 months.
Why?
You think all the bad guys gone retired?
That crime is over?
Died Hell?
What is all this crap?
Yard sale.
You bought all this?
No, I'm selling it.
Selling all these?
Hey, are these my barbells?
No, they're mine.
I'd lent you my barbells last year.
These're my barbells.
Didn't they all have the same look?
My initials on them.
Okay, maybe those are yours.
Just take them.
I'm not gonna take them now, we're in the middle of thing.
Couldn't find the siren.
I might have sold it.
All right, Detective Monk.
What now?
Dig.
Should I dig boarder cause you're gonna be dead by morning.
Dig.
Not there.
Over there.
By the sun dial.
Over there.
Stop.
Go on.
Go on.
Oh, no, no, no, don't take Benworth.
What the hell, are you crazy?
Slump, I'm gonna go left.
We got it all corners.
Sorry, sorry.
Go on, go on, go left.
Step on it, step on it.
Step on it!
Squad car are already here.
Monk can get himself shot.
What the hell!
Hoo-la!
Come on!
Come on, come on.
Move the truck, Police on emergency.
Get out!
Come on!
Come on!
Guess we've got a siren.
Keep digging.
Sir, I'm not gonna tell you again.
I want you to put the weapon down.
No.
We're not done yet.
I'm gonna bring up a sorrow subject here, I don't want you to over-react.
But Trudy and I used to talk about capital punishment all the time.
She never believes it.
Shut up!
Just shut it!
You mention her name again, it'll be the last word you ever say.
Oh, God.
Okay.
Stottlemeyer, Homicide, you guys just relax.
Everyone, everybody take a deep breath.
Relax.
Hold your fire.
Okay, it's close enough.
Monk.
Monk, put the gun down, buddy!
You don't want to do this.
You don't have to do this.
Hey!
Who told you to stop.
Keep going.
Keep going.
Monk!
Monk!
Listen to me.
They've identify the poison.
It was on your wipes.
Monk, it's on your hand wipes.
We have the antidote, we have to get you to a hospital.
We can figure it out what to do with him later.
What was that?
That is Wendy Straud.
The midwife from 12 years ago?
Yeah.
Bones.
It's human skull.
I couldn't figure it out, why you wouldn't move.
Get CSI down here now.
Then I remember the sundial, under the tree.
Why would anyone put a sundial under a big tree like this, in the shade.
Didn't make any sense.
12 years ago, when he was nominated the Federal bench, his name was in all the papers.
Wendy Straud must have seen it.
Right?
Right!
She said she found Jesus, she was born again.
She couldn't live with a guilt.
She's gonna tell everyone about me and Trudy, and the child.
So you killed her?
And then Trudy?
And for what?
For nothing!
Monk!
Monk!
Monk!
For posadki!
For posadki!
Monk!
No!
Rickover, put the gun down!
No!
No!
You take care of her.
Apparent I want to cry.
The last time you were here, What was that?
Two weeks ago?
Week and a half.
Week and a half, you looked horrible.
Now, look at you.
You look great.
It's like a miracle.
It was a miracle.
So, finally.
After 12 years.
12 long years.
Closure.
Closure.
How do you feel?
FIne.
I'm good.
So, how do you feel?
I know how I'm suppose to feel.
I'm suppose to feel like I'm finally happy?
I finally at peace.
But?
I feel, empty.
Well, that's not surprising.
Adrian, you spent most of your adult life looking for the man who killed your wife.
It's that search kept you going.
Now, it's gone.
So, what is next?
What're you doing when you wake up tomorrow?
What do you care about?
Now these, these are difficult choices.
Something else.
Something has been nagging me.
Which is just before Ethen Rickover died.
He said, "Take care of her."
Take care of Who?
I don't know.
I'll probably never know.
All right, you want my advice?
And I assume you do, because you are here.
Let it go.
All right.
It's ancient history.
It's time for Adrian Monk to set sail into the great unknown.
I hate the great unknown.
How do you know?
It's unknown.
If it's unknown, how do you know it's great.
Good point.
Maybe it's the not so great unknown, but it's out there, and it's waiting for you.
And there is no reason for you to be afraid of it.
Mr.
Monk, what should I write?
Mr.
Monk, what should I write on the box?
Case closed. "
Case closed", I like the sound of that.
Shoot!
The "e" is crooked.
Is that okay, or should I get another box?
Mr Monk?
What are you reading? "
A midwife is still missing.
Presumed dead."
It's an old article about Wendy Straud.
It's on the bottom of this section. "
Miss Straud made headline 15 years ago, January 2, 1983, when she found a newborn infant girl."
...playground, and brought to an local orphanage. "
1983?
Take care of her.
Excuse me?
Rickover's last words.
It wasn't the affair, Natalie.
This is what he was covering up.
It was the baby.
It didn't die.
The baby lived.
Trudy didn't know.
She never knew it.
They lied to her.
Her daughter lived.
They put her up for adoption.
She is alive and she's out there somewhere.
Trudy's daughter.
He's standing right here.
I'll tell him.
Are you ready?
They found her, her name is Molly.
Molly.
Molly Evans.
She was adopted 25 years ago by Andrew and Beth Evans.
She is unmarriage, lives in Monterey County and get this ...
She writes movie reviews for the Cronicle.
All right, it makes sense, Trudy was a writer.
Monterey County, that's 20 minutes away.
Yeah, Family Services have already contacted her, and she would love to meet you.
I can't do it.
Sure you can.
No.
What if she doesn't like me?
I mean, a lot of people don't like me.
Well I'm not crazy about me.
I can't do it.
I'm not doing it.
I would rather keep things where they are.
Like things where they are.
No, you don't.
Mr Monk.
You have to go.
I'm telling you.
You have to go.
This is a gift, Mr.
Monk.
Trudy sent you a gift.
She sent you someone to love.
That's what you've been missing.
I'll see you later.
Molly?
Yeah.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Yeah, this's her parallel parking.
Ya, she's an excellent driver.
She never had a single parking ticket.
Ya, here we are, this is us having lunch.
She eat uh, 5 times a week.
She's a vegetarian, but she eat fish.
You took all these pictures?
Yes.
Oh, she is drinking coffee.
It's Kona Blend, sometimes she has the Columbian.
Monk, there's gonna be 600 pictures.
Well, the rest are still being developed.
You've only known her for 3 days.
I feel like I've known her forever.
She feels the same way, she actually said that.
These are her adoptive parents.
Oh.
That's uh, Andy and Beth, they are great.
He's a little bit overweight...
He's uh, retired othorologist.
This is her new boyfriend, Kyle.
He's 2 years younger than she is.
She doesn't know how he feels about that.
And this is, this is her telling me not to take so many pictures.
This is her trying to take the camera away.
Oh, guess what else?
You know the internet?
She is on it.
Really?
She make it come?
Oh yeah, yeah.
She has her own website.
It is called the "blog", really.
Yeah, that's what it called. "
Blog".
You know, You can look up all the old movie reviews.
Randy, you like movies, so you you you just uh, type in uh, "MollyEvansReviews" and then a "."
and "com".
Yeah, I'll check it out when I'm ready.
What is this? "
To Leland".
You're writing me a letter. "
Dear Leland..."
I've been holding onto it all week.
I was waiting for the right time.
I guess this is the right time.
Randy...
When did this happen?
They've been talking into for several months.
What is going on?
Randy is leaving us, he is taking another job.
What?
Yeah.
You're looking at the new Police Chief of Summit, New Jersey.

Well, congratulations!
Congratulations.
Nicely done, Chief.

I don't think anything.
I know that you are ready.
You are gonna be great.
Well, I had a great teacher.
I'm talking about you.

Thank you, Randy.
Why New Jersey?

Well, I didn't actually know it, but I know I kind of know it.
Thanks you, guys, thanks you.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, hold on.
That was a good one.
Adrian, this is ambrassing, I'm not a movie star.

I can live for 20 years if I don't eat, or paid rent, or pay Natalie.
Right?
Adrian, you can't quit.
What will you do all day?
I do not know.
This.
Hang around with you.
I just want watch you grow up.
I am 26 years old, I am not a kid.
I just want you in my life.

I am in your life.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm worried about your life.
You can't quit.
Not for me.
There are lots of other Trudys out there.
And I think you're obligated to help them.
You have a gift.
And a curse.
It's not a curse, it's a gift.
Can't you see that?
Maybe that's why I'm here, to remind you.
What?
That's exactly what your mother used to say.
Really?
What was she like?
She snore.
She did.
Yeah.
She never believe me.
One night I taped her with a tape recorder, she still didn't believe it.
She loved Willie Nelson.
When she was thinking, she'd stick out her tongue like this.
Oh, my God!
I do that all the time.
I know.
I love it when you do that.
What are you doing?
Cutting out the recipe for making dinner for Steven.
You wanna come?
You should come.
Ah, no, thank you.
I didn't poison you.
It was on the wipes.
I know, I can't go anyway, I have plans.
What kind of plans?
With Molly.
We're going to the movies.
You're going to the movies?
Yeah.
Adrian Monk is going to the movies?
Why are you crying, is that so strange?
It's that strange at all.
That is why I'm crying.
What are you gonna see?
I don't know, whatever is in threater 10.
Okay, all right, that's more like it.
That's Adrian Monk, we know and love.
Hello?
Yeah, he's right here.
Oh, okay, I understand.
We're on our way.
We have to go, they found another body at West Milton Street.
Captain is gonna meet us there.
Wait.
Wait.
What are you doing?
Checking the stove.
Make sure it's off.
Yes, good idea, you don't want to get all the way downtown and not be sure.
Well, actually, this happened to me once.
Really?
Yeah.
(as in Season 01 Episode 01) "When I'm gone" by Randy Newman # The time for us to say goodbye is near # # The hour would never come is here # # Though many hearts are broken we must somehow carry on # # Cause I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone # # I thought my life was over when we met # # So little to remember, so much to forget # # Though it was you who saw me through the darkness to the dawn # # Still I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone # # I'm a modest man.
And it hurts me to say these things to you # # After all we've been through it's the least that I can do # # So instead of just goodbye I'll say so long # # And as for the light by which you see me leave it on # # I'm a better man than I was before # # knowing you has made me strong # # Still I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone # # I'm a better man than I was before # # knowing you has made me strong # # and I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone # # Yes I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone ## This is the End of the "Monk" TV Series.
So long Monk.
So long Everyone.
