Nice, Julie! Keep your hands up. Slide your feet.
Emily, you know when they set the screen,
that you have to get through it.
Which Emily?
All the Emilys.
All right, come on, girls, let's try it again.
Like that? Coach Hayden?
Coach Hayden!
Yes. That was much better.
Okay, girls, let's huddle up.
All right, one week to go.
This is it.
- Do you feel like champions? - Yeah.
Well, you are champions.
And you're always gonna be champions.
No matter who's coaching you.
Okay, Monday, 3:30 practice.
Anyone's late, we're all doing laps.
- Oh, my gosh. - All right, Cougars on three.
One, two, three. Cougars!
All right, girls, hit the showers.
- How you doing, Julie? - Oh, I'm good.
You're looking great out there. You're getting a lot more range on your shots.
Coach Hayden, what do you mean, "no matter who's coaching you"?
I just meant that you, the team, the girls,
are a lot more important than me.
- Go on. Hit the showers. - Bye.
- Night, girls. - Good night
- See you monday. - See you Coach Hayden

Julie.
Oh, hi, Mr. Monk. These are my friends, Emily and Emily.
We call them Emily C. and Emily J.
I don't have any candy.
Mr. Monk, it's not Halloween.
We-- we really need you.
We want to hire you.
- Is this a bad time? - Yes, it is.
Should we come back?
No, it's always a bad time.
You iron your shoelaces?
Why are there three?
Right, left, backup.
No, wait a second.
This is the backup.
- So, that's, uh, right, left-- - I-it doesn't matter.
You're right. It doesn't matter.
Left-- this is the right one.
- Um, Mr. Monk? - Yeah?
You know, our coach, Miss Hayden, died on Friday.
Oh, yeah.
Your mother mentioned that. I'm so sorry.
Is there anything I can do?
That your mother can't do?
Well, the police said it was an accident.
I understand something was blocking the drain, right?
It was a towel.
I was supposed to put all the towels away.
And I did, I know I did. I checked everywhere.
And it was my hairdryer that did it,
that electrocuted her, but I know I put it away.
I mean, it was in my locker.
- Are you sure? Maybe you forgot. - No.
Julie.
- Would you-- - Mr. Monk.
Let it go. Let it go.
So-- so-- so you think somebody did this to your coach on purpose?
And, like, no one takes us seriously because, you know, we're just kids.
Yeah.
What do you want me to do?
Mr. Monk, just do what you do.
Mom says you're the greatest detective in the world.
- Maybe that ever lived. - She might be right.
- We'll pay you. - We have $57.
And, look, we know it's not what you usually get.
But it can count for me as my birthday present.
Here's the thing. I wasn't planning to buy you a birthday present.
Please.
Okay.
Wai-- fine. Fine, fine, fine.
I'll see what I can do.
- Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Monk. - Thank you! You are such a nice person.
Yeah, okay.
Hey, what are you guys doing?
Oh! Hi, Mom.
Mr. Monk is gonna help us find out what really happened to Coach Hayden.
Oh, girls.
I know it's hard, but you gotta remember
it's not your fault, it was just an accident.
Will you just wait out front and I'll meet you there?
Thank you so much, Mr. Monk!
Yeah. Yeah. Stay in school.
Don't take dope.
Oh, God.
Mr. Monk, what are we gonna do?
What do you mean?
Can't you see it?
They feel so terrible about what happened
they're just in complete denial.
Well, they are offering to pay me $57.
Okay, first of all, you're not taking their money.
So you want me to say no.
Well, I don't know. You already said yes
Maybe it's a good thing.
You know, maybe-- maybe it'll give them closure.
Okay, this is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna look into it.
And then we're gonna sit them down, and we're gonna tell them--
That it was all their fault.
You know what?
When it comes time to tell them, maybe you shouldn't.
They really loved her.
How long was she here?
I think seven years.
She was the best coach Julie ever had.
Come on.
This place makes me uncomfortable.
Oh, Mr. Monk. It's just a high school.
Yeah, high school wasn't the best year of my life.
Oh, but look at these.
Amazing.
- Look at that one. State champions. - Okay, it's very nice.
Yeah, yeah, look at this one.
- Yeah, they're all very nice. - Yeah, look at that.
Look at this-- these, these two!
I could never believe
that they would just leave them sitting
in the hallway right next to the exit.
I always felt they should belocked away in a vault somewhere.
Why? Who's gonna take a bunch of old trophies?
I don't know.
Maybe somebody who's never won anything in their whole life.
Somebody whose mother cleared off a mantel
in the living room, just waiting for one of these.
Whose mother came to every track meet, even when she was sick.
Even when she was dying.
Maybe somebody like that.
Natalie, I'm talking about me.
I know, Mr. Monk.
Let's go.
Julie showed me what happened.
They found Coach Hayden's body in here, next to the showers.
You okay?
Girls' bathroom.
What are you afraid of? Cooties?
Don't laugh.
Jury is still out on cooties.
If we could only get more federal funding.
Okay, the valve under this sink was loose.
And the water was leaking.
And then the hairdryer was plugged into here.
I thought these outlets had built-in circuit breakers.
Yeah, I thought so too.
That's funny. Look at that paint job.
You can see the brush marks.
Yeah, they don't line up.
There's no dust on the top of that.
Natalie.
Dust on the bottom?
You're gonna need a wipe for that.
Yeah, I think somebody took off this plate.
And put it back on upside down.
Get ready.
Yeah, that-- that's a loose wire.
Do you think somebody could've unscrewed that on purpose?
I don't know.
So the towel fell here? On top of this drain?
Yeah, that's right.
Seems like the coach ran into a lot of bad luck in this room all at once.
Well, I guess that's how it happens sometimes.
Yes, to me, but this happened to somebody else.
What?
- That window's been opened. - Which one?
The second one, there's no cobwebs on it.
All the othewindows are covered with them.
- Up you go. - What?
Take a look. Check it out.
- Up you go. - Up you go.
Up you go. Up you go. Up you go.
I'm just the assistant, remember?
I believe the word "assist" is a very large part of the word "assistant."
Right? Assist.
From the Latin meaning up you go
Come on over.
Higher.
Oh, my God.
- What is it? - Oh, my God.
God, Natalie, what is it?
They're footprints!
Footprints.
- Down you go. - Okay, down I go.
Down you go.
Okay, this is everything.
The famous killer hairdryer, the towel,
and the rest of the stuff from her locker.
What about the footprints?
There was a crew in there working six weeks ago on the lights.
It could have been one of them.
- What about the outlet? - We checked it. It was defective.
There's no dust in the intake.
This is practically brand-new. But look.
Look at the cord. It's all taped up.
Randy, I really don't think the girls are lying.
They hired Mr. Monk.
They're giving him all the money they have.
- $57. - You're not taking the money.
Natalie, they're kids.
They're teenagers. They're probably lying to protect themselves.
You see how this tape's been cut?
- It's all jagged. - Guys, look.
There is zero motive here.
Lynn Hayden didn't have an enemy in the world.
She lived with her brother.
And the kids loved her. Even the other coaches liked her.
She's boring. It's like reading about Mother Teresa.
Natalie, here's your chance.
- Captain, are you busy? - Yes, I am.
Ronstadt, where is that lab report on the Russian Hill carjacking?
I need that yesterday.
Julie's doing a science report on DNA.
Oh, no, Natalie. I can't.
She's supposed to interview somebody, an expert.
Can you just talk to her for ten minutes?
She's having a terrible week, and the report's due on Tuesday.
Natalie, I wish I could, but I can't.
We've got three detectives out sick today.
It's just gonna take ten minutes.
Look what I'm juggling here, all right?
I got two drive-by shootings, one attempted murder--
Oh, and that fire two weeks ago in Dratch Valley.
They're now saying that might be arson.
Now I'm working arson.
Plus I just got another load of hooey from my wife's lawyer.
This her jacket?
See, it's missing a button.
- What's that? - It's a burr from a bush.
She must have been outside.
Doesn't help much, does it?
Even you go outside.
I can talk to her next week.
How about Saturday? I'll take you guys out for pancakes.
Yeah, it's okay. That's not gonna give her enough time.
- It's all right. - Okay.
Oh, you know what?
I forgot to mention--
My cousin works for a PR firm for the 49ers.
- No kidding? - Yeah.
Joe Montana's gonna be in town on Thursday.
He's shooting some commercial. You wanna meet him?
Joe Montana? Sure!
Okay. You're not too busy?
No, no, I'm sure we could make that work.
Oh, great. Because I lied.
But it's nice to know you're available on Thursday.
Julie will be here after school. Thanks.
Ah, this brings back memories.
Sitting in the principal's office.
You?
I can't picture you being sent to the principal's office.
I wasn't sent.
I used to go there on my own.
To report on the troublemakers. I was Mr. Kantman's eyes and ears.
That's what he called me.
So you spied on other kids?
I was keeping the study hall safe for people like you.
You're welcome.
Oh, Natalie. Hi. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
That's okay.
We're, um--
- We're organizing a memorial service. - Oh, of course.
Is there anything I can do?
- No, but I'll let you know. - Thanks.
- This is my boss. This is Adrian Monk. - Principal Franklin.
Oh, yes. We met last year at the career day.
- How've you been? - The same.
I'm sorry to hear that.
How's Julie been doing?
She's having a hard time.
- I think everybody is. - Yeah.
Here's that list you asked for.
Everyone who had access to the girls' locker room,
- including outside contractors. - Okay.
Mr. Monk, you don't have to raise your hand.
Did Coach Hayden seem worried or depressed about anything?
Well, now that you mention it, the day before the incident,
she was crying in the teachers' lounge.
She didn't say why. I didn't think anything about it.
Lot of our teachers cry quite a bit.
Do you really think somebody did this deliberately?
We don't know.
Well, I hope to God not.
This has been very hard on the kids.
Especially the team.
Without a coach, we're gonna have to forfeit the last game.
With the championship game?
No! I--
I-- I'll coach 'em. I'll do it.
- Oh, no, Natalie. I-- I wasn't trying-- - No, no.
I played basketball in high school.
Varsity. All four years.
Plus I know all the girls.
Well, it is only one game.
Oh, I think the girls really need this.
Okay, we'll try it.
Okay.
You're gonna need an assistant.
What?
What are you looking at?
Principal Franklin, Natalie's staring at me.
I don't know about this.
I don't know much about basketball.
Mr. Monk, you don't have to know anything. You're my assistant.
My assistant. I like that.
- The worm has turned. - Yeah, it certainly has.
Plus it'll give you a chance to poke around the school and ask questions.
Oh, God, look at them. Poor things.
Hey, guys. Will you come over here? Team meeting.
How you guys doing?
Yeah, I know. I feel the same way.
I'm Ms. Teeger.
I'm sure you already know that I'll be filling in for Coach Hayden.
And this is Mr. Monk. He'll be in charge of--
Excuse me, can I just grab this for a second?
Thank you.
I know that this is really hard for you guys.
But Coach Hayden never gave up, did she?
If she were here, I know she would want you guys to finish what you started.
I think she's right.
Yeah, you know, I've been watching you guys all year. You guys are great.
And if we practice and focus really hard,
I think we have a shot at bringing home that trophy.
- There's-- there's a trophy? - If we win.
Does everyone get one?
Well, the whole team gets a big trophy. And then everyone gets little statues.
Even the--
Yes, Mr. Monk. Even you would get a little trophy.
Would it have my-- my, um--
Yes, Mr. Monk. It'll have your name on it.
All right, great shot. Great shot.
Emily J., let the ball roll off your fingers.
- Yeah, Emily, off the fingers. - Okay, girls, keep it moving.
Kimberly. Try jumping off the other foot.
Kimberly, come on. The other foot.
All right, have fun, girls.
Yeah, okay. Yeah, have fun.
But don't forget to win. Everybody loves a winner.
- Mr. Monk. - But have fun.
But win.
All right, girls. Let's do some ball-handling.
So circle up.
- Where's my whistle? - Mr. Monk, you don't need a whistle.
Yeah, I-I-I-- I'm gonna have to buy a whistle
and one of those clipboards, I guess.
So you've never won anything in your whole life?
Once, at a birthday party, I won a game of musical chairs.
That's something.
Yeah, then I was disqualified.
The mother said I went counterclockwise or something.
At least you got invited to the party.
It was my party, okay? It was my mother.
Kimberly, what did I tell you about that foot?
Hey, guys.
That was a great rehearsal.
Practice. Great practice.
- Do you feel better? - Yeah.
Mr. Monk, we were wondering how the case is going.
Oh, well.
We're still working on it. But you were right. It wasn't an accident.
So you mean it wasn't our fault?
I knew it! Told you!
Thank you for believing us.
And--
And, you don't have to pay me.
So, Mr. Monk, who did this?
- Well, we don't know that yet. - Yeah.
- Oh, Em. Here is your necklace. Sorry. - Thank you.
Well, that's very beautiful. What is it?
Oh, it's an arrowhead. Coach Hayden gave it to me.
Very beautiful.
She brought about 15 back from Dratch Valley.
Dratch Valley?
She went hiking up there.
Was she up there maybe two weeks ago?
I think so.
Didn't the captain say something about a fire?
Well, it's pretty obvious what happened.
This is the point of origin.
Natalie, right here. Point of origin.
Please go on.
Well, somebody was here camping out unauthorized. Without a permit.
And apparently the wind shifted from east to north.
East to north. Got it.
Continue please.
It's his first whistle.
Well, the brush around here was bone dry.
So those branches probably caught first.
And then they spread downwind.
And then once it hits the valley, well, there's no stopping it.
So the fire was moving--
Up the hill, that way.
Yeah, are you with the arson squad, Mr. Monk?
No, no. This is a private investigation. And call me Coach.
Coach Monk.
- I thought you were a detective. - I am a detective.
I also coach high school basketball. The Ashton Cougars.
Are you into b-ball?
"B" stands for basketball.
- Not really. - What are you doing Saturday?
My parents' anniversary. 50 years.
Perfect. Bring 'em to the game.
It's the league championship.
- I don't think so. - It'll be great.
We're using a zone defense,
which is the best kind of defense you can have.
We're gonna kick their rumps all over the field.
- You mean court. - Natalie.
- He might come to the game. - I didn't say that.
Mr. Monk, can you just focus on other questions about the fire?
You know, the reason why we came here,
why we drove for two and a half hours.
Yeah, yeah. The fire.
Let me think.
Anybody hurt?
No, sir. Just some property damage.
Five or six summer homes.
So the fire spread up that way.
They probably ran down there.
Let's have a look.
I'll wait by the jeep.
Okay, if we get lost, I'll blow the whistle.
Heh. I'm sure you will.
See you Saturday.
Go Cougars.
What?
Burr.
That's from Linda Hayden's coat.
Oh, my God.
Do you think she could have been involved with the fire?
Maybe that's why she was killed.
There's gotta be a connection.
But I don't see it.
What happened here was an accident.
Nobody was hurt.
Nobody even knew she caused it.
Please don't.
- It helps me think. - No, no, no.
Backup.
Gotta be a connection.
Just gotta be a connection.
I know this is a terrible time.
So you lived here with your sister?
She took me in after my divorce.
After both of my divorces, actually.
I mean, she could never say no to anybody.
This is a nice trophy.
Was your sister a golfer?
Actually, that one's mine.
Looks nice up here on the mantel.
My mother had a mantel just like this.
Except it was wood. And empty.
Just this big, empty mantel.
Aaron, we know that your sister set that fire in Dratch Valley.
That was an accident.
She was camping, and-- and the wind shifted.
We know, we talked to her best friend Christa Barnardin.
I know Christa.
Christa said that Lynn was going to turn herself in next week.
She also said that you tried to talk her out of it.
That's true.
The fire destroyed six homes. They would've charged her with a felony.
They would've taken away her teaching license.
I tried to tell her that it wasn't worth it.
I mean, nobody got hurt.
- But she didn't see it that way? - No.
No, not my sister.
She always had to do the right thing.
Said that's what she taught her kids. And she didn't want to be a hypocrite.
- That's a nice photo. - Thanks.
The school asked a picture so they could hang it up in the girls' locker room.
It's beautiful. It'll mean a lot to the girls.
Except the frame is broken. It's got a crack there.
- I know. I was gonna fix that. - Well, you could buy a new one.
Oh, that's okay. I'll just fix it. It's no big deal.
But you could just buy a new one, a nice, new frame. Yeah, let's do that.
No, no, he said he was gonna fix it.
Yeah, well, it's up to you.
But you could just buy a new one.
A nice, new frame, crack-free.
In honor of your sister.
Your dead, beloved sister.
Okay, we're done here.
Thank you, Aaron.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
We're going. Thank you.
We're passing a frame shop.
I could just pop in.
Um, okay, I wrote down a few questions.
- I'll go first. - Okay.
All right. Bring it on. Quest-i-on...number one.
Okay...what does DNA stand for?
DNA...dexoc--
Dexochl--
Das--
- DNA. - You don't know.
It's a chemical. DNA.
Dennis-- acid.
Deoxyribonucleic acid.
- Who discovered DNA? - Oh, I got it. I know this one.
Good.
Whish-- ah. Wall--
Will-- Will--
Actually, nobody really knows.
Watson and Crick.
- Two British scientists. - From England.
Well...
I brought this diagram.
Oh, excellent.
Actually, this is called a map.
- Map, map! - Oh, okay, okay.
Had that one.
Is everyone's DNA different?
Yes. Everyone's DNA is different.
It's like a billion little codes.
All different.
- Except for identical twins. - Okay.
Well, what about just regular family members?
Just a little bit different.
- But very close. - It--
But not identical.
Like, this close.
Well... like that.
If DNA is like a fingerprint, then why can't you solve every single case?
First of all, we do not find DNA at every crime scene.
And even if we did, you have to have something to match it against.
There was a young woman.
She wasn't much older than you. What was her name?
Remember, a couple years ago.
- Oh, uh, tach-- - The Irish girl.
- McGoohan. - McGoohan.
- Paula McGoohan. - Paula McGoohan.
We found her body in the middle of a golf course.
There was a ton of DNA at the scene. And, uh--
We ran it through the system, but we couldn't get a hit
because there wasn't anything to match it against.
Do you have any multiple choice, Julie?
Actually, I'm all done.
My mom's picking me up. I have basketball practice.
Oh, excellent.
You know, I think it's great that you kids are finishing the season.
Your coach would be very proud.
You sound like Coach Monk.
Coach Monk?
Yeah, he's helping my mom out. He's the assistant coach.
Thank you.
- You're welcome. - See ya. - Bye-bye.
Monk is coaching basketball?
Matthew, what's happening out in Dratch Valley?
Beth, according to my sources,
the police are investigating a possible connection
between last month's brush fire in Dratch Valley
and the death last week of a popular local gym teacher.
You may remember that dewas originally ruled an accident.
However, new evidence is indicating foul play.
As many of you know, Ashton High School
lost a very dear friend last week.
Lynn Hayden was more than a coach.
She was a member of our family.
Her brother Aaron is sitting in the stands with us tonight.
Thank you for coming, Aaron.
The Cougars want to let you know
that they're dedicating tonight's game in Lynn's memory.
Let's all rise, please, and give her a moment of silence.
That's all right. It's all right.
All right, Cougars. Defense. Defense!
Defense, defense!
So which one's yours?
The big one with the whistle.
Emily's open!
No, the other Emily!
Hey! cut that out!
Continue play.
Come on, Julie! Get up, get up, get up!
Take that shot now!
- Come on, girls! Let's go. - Big D. Big D!
- Big D! - Mr. Monk, we're on offense.
No, forget what I said. Big O, Big O!
All right, set the screen.
Go, go, go, go, go!
Time-out, time-out.
30-second time-out, purple.
Come on girls. Bring it in, bring it in.
Hustle, hustle.
You're doing great. We're still in there.
But you're giving them too many open looks at the basket.
- Don't let them look at the basket. - Right.
It's like this. Okay.
- This is the basket. - Right.
Actually, the rim is--
It's really orange.
Mr. Monk, we only have 30 seconds.
Yeah, plenty of time.
All right, now, you see that circle in the middle there?
You know that circle?
This some lines missing.
Keep your hands up. Keep on in there.
- Okay, on the count of three. - Let's go!
- One, two, three. - Cougars!
All right!
Let's see some hustle.
Get inside. Four points, girls.
Offensive foul, number 11.
What are you talking about? You blind? She was moving her feet.
That was a block. She had no position.
Coach, get back on the bench.
Oh, you're a joke.
Technical foul, Coach Teeger.
- Now who's the joke? - It's still you.
That's it, Teeger. You're gone.
Oh, my--
Number 13, you're shooting.
All right, I think I've figured this out.
I decided to go with black...
- I'm out of the game. - What?
It's all up to you. I'm out of the game.
- Wait, what-- - Okay, listen carefully.
We're only down by four.
If we tie it up, go man to man,
then at the two-minute mark, switch over to a full-court press--
What the hell are you talking about?
Teeger.
All right. I gotta go.
Good luck, Coach.
Well, this just got very interesting.
Don't give up, you guys. We're still in this!
- Mr. Monk, we're winning. - That's the spirit!
Time out!
30-second time out, yellow.
Yeah, all right. Let's just keep it simple.
See, each basket we sink counts as two points.
Except if you're behind the line.
Emily, you're just confusing everyone.
- She's not Emily - She's Emily now.
You're all Emily, understand?
We're gonna be fine.
Everybody just go out there and give 100 percent.
But Coach Hayden said we should give 110 percent.
No, no, no. That's a bad idea.
Anyway, it's mathematically impossible.
Just give 100 percent. It's a nice, round number.
- Well, I'm gonna give 110 percent. - Fine.
Okay, Julie, you give 90 percent.
Well, I'm gonna give 115 percent.
Oh, for God's sake. Okay, fine.
Then, Julie, you're down to 75 percent.
- Mr. Monk, how am I supposed-- - Just do it!
Okay, all right.
So that's 110 percent, 100 percent, 100--
115, 75.
Okay, come on. Before we go, hands in. One, two, three. Cougars!
Go, Cougars.
- I need a break. - Jen, what's the score?
- It's all tied up. - Oh, God!
Julie! Julie, what are you doing?
Am I crazy, or is she giving 100 percent?
Not again.
Mr. Monk, it's me!
- Natalie? - Look, I found this.
Look at the frame.
Look at the tape. It's uneven, just like the hairdryer.
So it's the brother, right?
Captain Stottlemeyer?
Hey, he knows your name.
- Captain.. - Don't touch me. I've got a gun.
It's me, Natalie.
Natalie?
What's going on?
Remember that cold case from two years ago?
The girl on the golf course.
What was the name of that country club?
- Conrad. Conrad Country Club. - That's it.
I know who killed Lynn Hayden.
He's here. Front row.
To the right of the scoring table. Blue shirt.
- The brother? - He's the guy.
Mr. Monk, can't we do this later?
It can't wait. I think he knows we're on to him.
- What about the girls? - Okay.
Ref. Time-- time out!
- Time out, purple. - Okay, hurry up.
Aaron Hayden belongs to that country club.
It was on the trophy on his mantle.
Conrad Country Club.
Here's what happened.
Aaron Hayden killed Paula McGoohan. I remember the case.
There was DNA evidence all over the scene but nothing to match it.
20 seconds.
Lynn Hayden told her brother she started that brush fire
and planned to turn herself in.
- That's why she was so upset last week. - 15 Seconds.
Aaron tried to talk her out of it.
He knew she'd be arrested, which meant--
- We would take a DNA sample-- - Routine for a felony arrest.
Ten seconds.
He knew if you ran her DNA through the system,
it would lead you to the country club murder, which would lead you to him.
It happens with siblings. A near hit.
He was trapped! He couldn't let her confess.
If she was arrested, he was a dead man.
Aw, hell. Hey, hey!
Hey!
Don't give me an excuse, pal.
I've got a message from Adrian Monk.
Yeah, what's that?
He says you should've bought a new frame.
Get it in! Shoot!
Shoot it!
Natalie, we won! We won!
Finally! I won something.
- How does it feel, Mr. Monk? - It feels--
It feels like something's wrong.
Clear the court! We still have two seconds on the clock.
Let's clear the court.
- What's happening? - Well, it's not over yet.
Put two seconds back on the the clock.
- Of course. - Don't worry. They have one shot.
They'll never make it.
Of course.
I don't believe it!
- Did you see that? - Many times.
Don't be sad, Mr. Monk.
There's always next year.
No, it's never next year.
I'm going home.
- Keep your eyes close. - Okay.
All right.
Mr. Monk, the girls and I got you a gift.
Is it $57?
No. You can open them now.
What?
Trophies.
Boxes of little trophies.
The Captain let me go through your files.
There's a trophy for every murder you've solved
since the beginning of your career.
"World's Greatest Detective."
Actually, you solved 104 cases. But we rounded it down.
To make it an even 100.
I don't know what to say.
Well, you don't have to say anything.
You wanna put 'em on your mantel?
On my mantel.
Oh, Mr. Monk?
This one's for solving our case. It's from the whole team.
I'm not gonna have enough room.
I need a bigger mantel.
Natalie, I need a bigger mantel.
Oh, Mr. Monk, your mother would be so proud.
Oh, no, she wouldn't. But it was nice of you to say.
