Taxi, taxi! Come on.
It's freezing.
Yeah, it is cold out here. That's all right. We'll get one.
I'm good at getting cabs. I'm kinda like the cab whisperer.
- That's a nice blazer. - Thank you very much.
It's a gift from. Well, from me. I wish I'd taken the lining out of it, though.
- Sometimes it gets really hot. - Really?
- You're shivering. - You noticed.
Well, I notice everything.
- Thank you. - That's my job.
- I'm a good cop. - There's a taxi! There's one.
Right, right. Hey! Taxi, taxi!
Thank you. Taxi!
Hey, back up. We got it, we got it.
Thanks for waiting, man.
88 Underhill avenue, please.
You're my hero. Do you want your coat back?
No, why don't you keep it. I'll get it in the morning.
- You're pretty sure of yourself? - Well, I am a cop.
I read the situation. It's all in the details.
Noticing all those little things that other people miss.
For example,
you usually wear glasses.
I saw you squinting at the menu.
- You're pretty good. - Yeah...
Well, I've been doing it for years.
It's second nature by now.
We're not moving.
Randy, oh my god!
Monk 7x6 Mr. Monk Falls In Love
Sub VO By : ¤ Aka & YaYa ¤
[Sub-Way.fr]
Let's meet our victim.
He was a cab driver named Drazen Mirko.
Hey, Randy, does he look familiar?
- I was in the backseat. - Mckiernan, what do you got?
Not much. He got his hack license... About six years ago.
Kept to himself,
no known family. And we're still trying to track down his immigration papers.
The coroner puts the time of death around 9:20.
Multiple puncture wounds from an antique hat pin.
A hat pin?
- Can I see that? - So, we're looking for a woman...
that's a start.
Your "L" is a little crooked, there.
- No, it's not. - Yes, it is.
It really is.
It's hanging down on the bottom there.
Yeah, it's still a little off. Now it's...
This is a homicide task force.
You want me to run downstairs and get a t-square so all the letters are even?
It doesn't have to be you necessarily. You could send...
Could we move on?
So what is this, a family crest?
Yeah. Something like that. We're still working on it.
Are there any witnesses?
Randy was there, so...
No, there weren't any witnesses.
I wasn't in cop mode. I was in date mode.
We found this in the cab.
It's got a design on it. Could be an invitation or something.
And we found this under the backseat.
There's blood splatter on it. We think the killer was wearing it.
A charm bracelet. Trudy had one of these.
Usually, these aren't just decorative.
Each one of these little charms could mean something.
"LZ" Probably her initials.
LZ. That's good.
There can't be a lot of Zs out there.
Ballet slippers. Maybe she's a dancer or used to be.
- Yeah, that's good. - There's a man with a beard.
Looks like santa claus.
Maybe she likes Christmas!
I'm not going to write down that she likes Christmas.
He is carrying something, could be ST. Christopher.
He's the patron Saint of travelers.
Okay.
Likes to travel.
What is that? A lion?
Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo... Zookeeper! A traveling, dancing zookeeper.
This is not a game show, Randy.
Well, it could be... an astrological sign. So she's a Leo.
- A Leo. - What is that? Looks like a Ruby!
Rubies, so that's Jewelry. She makes Jewelry. She's a
dancing Zookeeper's daughter who makes Jewelry!
I'm making an announcement.
If our suspect turns out to be a dancing Zookeeper's daughter
who makes Jewelry, i'm gonna retire.
Well, it could be a birthstone, right? What is Ruby?
My mom wears one. A Ruby is July.
If she's a leo that was born in July, that narrows it down to
nine days between July 23rd and the 31st.
Al right, here's what we know. We're looking for a woman
whose initials are lZ, maybe she's a dancer.
She likes to travel or works with people who travel,
and she was born between July 23rd and July 31st.
I can't think of anyone.
I thought maybe we'd use the computer for this one, Randy.
That's a good idea.
Sanchez and McKiernan are checking out the woman in Sausalito.
The other one works here. Her name is
Leyla Zlatavich.
You got that DMV photo?
These poor people!
- They're all refugees... From Zemenia. - Are they still fighting over there?
They haven't stopped fighting for 600 years.
These are the lucky ones, these people got out.
Captain, over there.
We found you a house.
No, no.
No room, a house with a backyard and a garden.
Your own garden!
No, no, no. Everything is paid for.
All we have to do now is fill out some residency papers.
So you come with me? Please.
Please, come.
She's beautiful.
Like mother Theresa.
Only hotter.
"Only hotter"? You're gonna get hit by lightning.
She didn't do it.
How do you know that? We haven't even talked to her yet.
This is Disher. Captain, it's Sanchez.
Flag
was falling.
Falling.
That's good! Your english is really good. Keep practicing.
You're frightened. I can tell.
But you're safe here. Everything will be all right.
Do you understand?
We'll get you some clothes so you can fit in.
No one is going to laugh at you anymore. Would you like that?
Would you like some water?
I'll be right back.
Okay?
What did she say?
She's not the guy.
You keep saying that. But how do you know?
Check this out.
It's from the collection box.
A Zemenian ten dollar bill.
That's the piece of paper we found in the cab.
Nobody bats a thousand,
- That's a perfect match. - What? Perfect?
You don't know that it's perfect.
Don't you think I'd be the one to know if it's perfect?
Well, it's not.
Probably.
Okay. We'll go to the lab and make sure it's perfect.
Are you okay? - You look a little flushed to me.
What?
You're... You're blushing!
No, what are...
What are you talking about?
Oh, my god!
You like her!
What? Stop it! That's crazy talk!
- You're staring right at her. - No!
I'm looking at...
Over there.
All right, yes.
I'm looking at her. Okay,
because she fits the profile.
But she didn't do it.
I'll go wait in the car. And she didn't do it!
And that scrap of paper doesn't mean a thing.
- You like her. - I don't like her. And don't
say that again! I don't like anybody. I'm gonna wait in the car.
As you can see, all roads lead to our suspect,
Leyla Zlatavich.
Monk, you can shake your head all you want to,
but you're not going to shake all of this away.
All the charms on the bracelet match.
Her initials, her birthday...
She works with travelers, she used to dance.
And if that's not enough, and it is, we found this...
- Zemenian currency at the scene. - It's not enough.
- I don't believe this. - Monk, it's more than enough!
Look, last year we got that conviction on that guy by virtuz
of the air he blew into a beach ball.
If we're gonna pick her up, we need to move on her now.
- I mean, she could be a flight risk. - Yeah. Wait! Wait, wait, wait.
Wait. Let me think.
Where's the motive? You need a motive.
She had the oldest motive in the world.
She wanted cash.
- But the Cabbie still had his wallet! - She was interrupted...
By lt. Disher. She didn't realize he was still in date mode. She ran away.
What about the other suspect? You said there we two women who fit the profile.
We checked. The other woman's been dead for seven years. Come on!
Wait, wait. Wait, whoa.
Interesting, right? It's fascinating, really. Let's look at this.
A woman who's been dead for seven years...
Hails a taxi, kills the driver, and then...
She's the guy.
- Leyla's the guy. - But she's not the guy.
Okay. Let's put it to a vote.
All those who think we should bring ms. Zlatavich in?
Those opposed?
- You cannot vote, Monk! - Why not?
Because you obviously have a crush on this woman.
What? What?
That's insane!
How could I like her? I'm a married man. I have not taken this off.
In 18 years. I love my wife.
Everybody know that! You can all go to...
You know where.
Hell.
No, will, it's no problem at all.
All right. We'll see you soon.
Mr. Monk, don't freak out.
- That was Leyla. - Really?
She wants to talk to you about the case. She sounded upset.
She sounded scared, actually.
I don't know. I think she might be innocent.
Of course she's innocent. That's what I've been saying.
Well, she's just up the street. She's gonna be here in two minutes.
Two minutes.
She's coming here.
In two minutes, she's coming here.
Yeah, you just said that.
- You're excited. I can tell. - Who's excited? I'm not excited.
You're the one who's excited.
You obviously can't stop thinking about her.
I think you might be obsessed with
this woman, the way you keep talking about her.
- I'm not talking about her. - You're listening about her.
You can't deny that.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine. It's no big deal.
She's...
Just another client.
Mr. Monk.
I'm very sorry to bother you at home.
Bother? It's no bother.
It only bothers me that it bothers you
because you think it bothers me,
which it doesn't. You know,
- bother me. - Would you like to sit down?
- Yes, thank you. - Not you!
I feel so foolish.
I didn't recognize you when we spoke yesterday at the refugee center.
You are the famous detective.
Today, some policemen came.
They brought me to the police station. They asked me a lot of questions.
They think I'm a suspect. They think I killed a taxi driver.
How could they think that? I don't understand.
They only think that because of all the evidence against you.
Some policemen have this thing about evidence.
But I didn't kill anyone. I couldn't.
I know you couldn't.
We... We believe you.
Tell me what to do.
I'd like to hire you, but I don't have much money.
Don't worry about money. We don't need money.
So you'll help me?
Of course, I will help you.
You're an angel.
Thank you so much.
Maybe we can talk about the case tonight?
Over dinner?
Tonight? Yeah, okay.
- You have my address. - Tonight?
Okay.
8:00 okay?
Thanks again.
I feel much better.
Yeah.
You didn't wipe it off.
- Course I did. - You like her!
- Natalie, she's a client. - Mr. Monk, it's okay to like somebody.
- Trudy would want you to be happy. - I don't like anybody.
Yeah, you keep saying that, but then you act all flustered.
- Not flustered. Where's my silverware? - You threw it out.
Why would I do that?
Okay, fine. Maybe I am a little flustered.
You know, I am just not used to being around attractive women.
What?
- What? - Nothing.
Come on.
Natalie!
You're not... A girl. You're Natalie!
Natalie. Nat.
You're nat. Like natalie, right?
Natalie.
I made a reservation for 8:00.
- It's just up the street. - Sounds good.
Sorry. I can't help it.
Don't apologize. We all have our little quirks.
If we didn't, we would have been exactly the same. And how would that be?
Heaven on earth.
I have a little quirk.
I can't go to sleep without the radio on.
That is weird. You're like a freak of nature.
You need help, lady.
Every time I see the wall, I wanna cry.
I know, it's a mess.
- No, I mean it's so beautiful. - Exactly.
I come here almost every day.
A hundred different opinions, different voices.
This wall is America. You don't appreciate what you have here.
I hope I never take it for granted.
This ain't a hotel. Go on, get outta here.
What are you doing? You can't treat people like that.
- Lady, this is none of your business. - This man is a human being.
Barely.
I know your kind. I've seen it my whole life.
You're a Hooligan. You're a bully!
He could've had a heart attack.
Lady, get outta my face before I call a cop.
Hey, I'll save you the time. I am the cops.
Where's your badge?
I'm a former cop.
You wanna know why they kicked me out?
You don't wanna know why they kicked me out.
- Why did they kick you out? - Nervous breakdown.
Look at that!
He's touching it with his hands! Did you see that?
Okay, here we go.
Did you like this?
It was wonderful. It was just... It was just wonderful.
Thank you for bringing me here.
So, where do you wanna eat?
No, no, no. We're eating here. This is our food.
Hey, I don't think so.
Pezni.
"Pezni" means delicious.
- Pezni... - What do you think he was doing?
I don't know. I thought it was...
way off-Broadway Cabaret-type thing.
It's an old Zemenian tradition.
They prepare the food in front of you to whet your appetite.
Yeah, but he was juggling the food, I mean,
and then it went in his hat. Then it came out of his hat.
I mean, I've never seen a recipe that included the word "hat".
Really.
Thank you.
You know what? I just rembered.
I had Zemenian for lunch.
Detective Monk, I don't believe you.
Why don't you eat, and I'll just watch?
Are you sure?
I've never been more sure of anything in my life.
Okay.
Pizne.
I never imagined that such a thing was possible...
In America.
To be sent to prison for something I didn't do.
You are not going to prison.
All we have to do is figure out what happened.
Here.
They found this bracelet in the taxicab.
All the charms seem to point to you.
It has your initials, see.
- Yes, the police showed this to me. - Yeah.
But it isn't mine. I told them I've never seen it before.
Okay.
What about your alibi? Where were you monday night?
Monday night was my birthday. I went home alone.
I turned my telephone off.
Lit a candle, made a wish, went to bed early.
Pretty exciting life?
Is... Is that it?
That's your alibi.
That might be the worst alibi I've ever heard...
Ever, in my life.
Which is good.
Because if you were guilty,
you would have come up with something better. Right?
Did you speak to anyone?
Your roommate, or, or
your boyfriend, or...
I live alone.
- I don't have a boyfriend. - No?
Not everyone
The way you talk about Trudy,
I can tell you have something very special.
Yes, we do. We're very lucky.
Very lucky.
But back to the case.
Could someone be framing you?
Framing?
I mean, do you have any enemies?
Maybe someone back in the old country.
No.
All I'm trying to do is help my people find shelter, maybe job.
This was my favorite song.
What is it about?
The words mean, "Foolish child, don't you know,
"the broken heart will never mend.
"A true love story has no end."
That's beautiful.
Last time I heard that song, it was on my 23rd birthday.
We had a garden party. My father sang it for me.
Aw, that's a nice memory.
Two weeks later, he was dead,
along with my two brothers and my fiance.
I didn't know that when I said "nice memory."
All murdered.
He slaughtered half of the village.
Who... Who did?
Who?
What!
He was an animal.
They call him "Zemenski Morderca."
The "Butcher of Zemenia."
He's disappeared. The whole world is looking for him.
His name is Korston Emerich.
Who dares to speak the butcher's name?
That name is never to be spoken in my restaurant!
When I hear that name I want to spit.
Okay.
Oh, my god.
Call 911.
Call...
Call 911!
What are you waiting for? It's an easy number. Okay.
Please stay calm. It's gonna be okay.
It's just a little spittle. It's a little disgusting...
Spittle. We're gonna need a 55-gallon drum of boiling water and some...
Are you all right?
What is it?
Is that him?
The man you called "The Butcher"?
But that's the cab driver.
He must've been hiding out here... In San Francisco.
What does it mean?
It means you have a motive...
If you did it. Which of course you didn't.
Let's get started.
We have to move on this before the press gets wind of it.
Thanks to Monk, we now have the real motive for the attack:
revenge, pure and simple.
Turns out that our cabbie
was a war criminal named Korston Emerich.
15 years ago, he and his troops killed Zlatavich's fiance
and most of her family.
Can't blame her, really.
Well, given the evidence that we have, we should move forward.
- There's not enough. - It's enough, Monk.
No. She didn't do it.
Look at the board.
There's a mountain of evidence here. This is MT. Kilimanjaro.
- It's time to arrest her. - Wait. Wait! Wait.
Let's just...
Lemme think. Lemme think.
According to the driver's log, Emerich picked up his last passenger
- at the airport. Right? - So?
So,
what was she doing at the airport? And...
How... How did she even get to the airport?
I don't know. She's your girlfriend, why don't you ask her?
Afraid to ask her because she might tell him the truth.
She's playing you, man! Can't you see it?
But why would she kill him there? Look,
the Cabbie was killed on Algonquin avenue, right?
- Yep. - Leyla,
I mean, Leyla. I mean,
Ley...
Ms. Zladavich... Ms. Zladavich...
Ms. Zladavich lives three miles from there. It doesn't make any sense!
It makes perfect sense, Monk.
She was at the airport. Who knows why?
She hails a cab. She drives into town.
It's a red light. She stops.
Yeah. He turns around, she recognizes him.
"Oh, my god, it's the butcher of blah blah."
Out comes the hat pin. She does him in the neck, Monk.
- I'm buyin'it. - A red light?
- You have a problem with that? - Red light, shmed light.
What?
That... That's your argument? "Red light, shmed light"?
It's come down to that? Okay, Monk.
It's over.
She has no alibi.
Alibi, shmalibi.
Okay, we're not getting anywhere.
I say it's time to go to the shmudge and get a shmarrant.
There you are. I didn't see you leaving. Where are you going?
- She didn't do it. - I know it's confusing.
I like her too. Let's go home. I'll make you some dinner.
- I can't go home I have to talk to her. - No, you can't.
- I have to. - No, you can't see her any more.
Leyla's an official suspect. She's about to be indicted.
After you left, detectives Sanchez and Mckiernan were talking.
They think you're obstructing the case.
Obstructing the case?
They're calling the DA. They're filing an official complaint.
I'm sorry, Mr. Monk.
Misha, it's okay. There are no soldiers.
It's safe here.
Your sponsor will meet you there.
They will take good care of you.
- Here's all the information. - Thank you.
Know how we can thank you!
Enjoy your new home. Enjoy your new life.
That's how to thank me.
Invite me to his wedding.
Bus is coming.
Adrian!
What are you doing here?
I just came to tell you that, I can't see you anymore.
It's a legal thing, conflict of interests, and so...
- So... - I understand.
You could've just called. Why didn't you call?
I don't know.
I could've just called.
Why didn't I just call?
It's no big deal.
Your pants will be dry in 20 minutes.
I really appreciate this.
People in need... That's my job.
Geraniums, right?
Yeah, fresh geraniums every day. Something I learned from my mother.
It brightens your darkest night. She was right as usual.
- Where is she now? - Back home. She refuses to leave.
That's where I get my stubbornness from.
- It doesn't fit? - No, it's fine.
It's fine.
There.
Nice and even.
Okay.
It was my fiance's.
He's gone for 15 years. I don't know why I keep it.
I do.
So, when did you move in?
About a month ago.
I lov this building.
Detective monk, you need to call your wife.
She's probably worried.
She knows where I am.
How?
Because...
She's with me all the time.
That explains a lot.
That explains everything.
- How did she... - She was killed.
Car bomb.
Car bombs. I know them well.
I am sorry.
Adrian, I have to ask you...
Everyone is against me... All the evidence, all the policemen.
Why do you believe me?
Becaus you didn't do it.
Thank you for that.
Tchaikovsky.
This is the music that made me want to dance.
Tchaikovsky.
So whatever happened?
I grew out of it.
Plus, they burned down the conservatory in my village.
I took that as an omen.
I used to be able to do this and this.
When did I get so old and stiff?
I need a partner.
Well, it's a little late, but we could call someone.
He'd have to live nearby, I guess.
Give me your hand.
Excuse me.
Is something wrong?
Do you have anything stronger than steel wool? It's my wedding ring.
There's something on it.
Adrian,
i'm lonely too.
- Please stop - Stop what?
Being you
I have to go, I have to go
Adrian, it's a right, i understand, it's all right,
I have to go
So...
I'm going
Good bye
- Good bye - Leyla
And...
good luck.
You know, with the...
Am i still here?
Why can't i go
San Francisco police department. Open the door.
Ms. Zlatavich, I have a search warrant.
Are you ms. Zlatavich?
You are duly served.
Mother of mercy.
Well, here's something I never thought I'd say out loud.
Monk, where are your pants?
Monk, you're not supposed to be here.
I was just leaving. I was...
Is that your wedding ring?
No.
Excuse me, but...
Captain. Is this what you were looking for?
Randy, let me see that hat pin.
That's a perfect match.
Ms. Zlatavich...
What is this design?
This is our family crest.
Would you like to tell us how your family Crest got on the murder Weapon?
That's the murder Weapon?
Hold on. She can explain this.
Leyla...
Yes. Yes, yes. I can explain.
Go ahead.
I did it!
Wh... What?
I killed the taxi man, just like they said.
No, you didn't.
No, she didn't.
I did.
Okay. That's your opinion.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion!
I killed him. I killed the butcher of Zemenia.
Turn around.
I'm sorry.
You were in the taxi. What happened then?
Like you said. He was driving,
there was a red light. I turned around,
- and I recognized him from the village. - You recognized him.
It was Emerich. The butcher.
- I was sure of it. - And then what?
Like you said, I took out my hat pin.
I went crazy, and I stabbed him.
How many times?
Two, three.
I don't remember, it was just all like a...
What's the word? "Big blur."
She didn't do it.
Mr. Monk, she's confessing.
Why would anyone confess if they didn't do it?
No hard feelings, professor?
I guess we learned a lesson here? Sometimes
- things are exactly what they seem. - We'll see.
We'll see?
You can't be serious.
Come on, it's over, man. Here's your girlfriend's confession.
- Read it and weep. - Hey, you wanna save us a trip?
We got her personal effects. How'bout dropping these off downstairs?
- Thanks. - You'll get 'em next time.
Read it and weep.
- What was I thinking? - You weren't thinking, Mr. Monk.
You were feeling. And that's a good thing.
The past 14 years, I've been...
sleepwalking.
I wanted to wake up.
But I was always afraid to wake up.
Until you walked into that refugee center.
Don't worry.
It won't happen again. I learned my lesson.
What is it?
- It's a letter. - Who's it from?
Her mother.
How do you know she's here?
This is the largest Zemenian community in the country.
She was frightened, she was on foot. Where else would she go?
Escuse me, sir.
- Hello. - Hello.
We're looking for a woman.
This is hopeless. They don't even know their own language.
- What? - Geraniums.
Is that her?
It is. That, that is her. Mrs. Zlatavich!
Wait.
- Policia? - No, no.
- No, we just want to talk. - No, no police.
I'm a former police officer. I was given a psychological discharge.
Do you understand "discharge"?
- You don't discharge? - We're friends of Leyla's.
She's in trouble. She's in very big trouble.
Mrs. Zlatavich.
We know...
we know you killed this man.
Your daughteris in Jail now.
Leyla is protecting you.
You came here on her birthday, didn't you?
To surprise her.
You were giving her a gift. A bracelet.
Yeah. You Landed at the airport.
And you got into a taxi, but you had the wrong address.
Look.
Algonquin avenue, right? That was her old address.
You didn't know she had moved.
Would you like to see your daughter? Would you like to see Leyla?
Leyla.
- Look it up. - It's okay.
I know what she said.
How'd you know?
I didn't know.
I was hoping.
Just glad it all worked out.
Yeah.
Lucky thing.
Leyla.
How's she doing?
It should be me in there.
- You know I wanted to go. - I know.
I know. The DA. Just called.
Everybody understands what happened.
Why she did what she did.
She'll be out in two years.
Probably less with good behavior.
- Two years? - I'm sure it'll be less.
She seems like a very well-behaved older woman.
I only met her the one time, but...
Why did you do it? Why did you bring her in?
Because...
Because she did it.
My mother is going to Jail.
Okay, let's... Let's go somewhere and talk about it.
No. Not now.
Go back to your wife, detective Monk.
Did you... Did you just say "wife" or "life"?
Both.
