Fort time I saw that was my first semester in college fresh out of high school. I knew how it works because I saw it on tv and the second time I saw such a flyer it was just like the show with some missing. Weirdly they weren’t precut, but you could still understand how it works. This lady was older than me and had to have similar experiences. Hell she knew to take the number lol! Poor Monk ends up losing the garage.
The fact that the murderer guy took advantage of Monk (with who they've met one day before) and made him to pay them an expensive drink while obviously being the only person in the room who could afford things like this shows how unscrupulous he is. Great foreshadowing.
Even though Monk is summing up how he solved the case in this scene; at the same time, it's also one of those moments where he becomes his own worst enemy. In this case, it was by openly insulting the very person that he persuaded to vote in his favor, while she was within earshot.
Worth noting that the parking garage they're demolishing is where Trudy Monk was killed. Adrian wanted it preserved. As a small compensation, when it does get demolished, the children's park is dedicated to Trudy!
@@ZukoHalliwell Indeed. Even in this flashback when she sees the advert, instead of taking the precut phone number stipends, she writes it in her hand. Little details like that are hilarious.
Considering how long the case went on its understandable to have a reasonable debate of whether to get rid of the parking garage. I'm not sure they even found anymore evidence in that place after this vote occured?
He has a very good memory. He probably wouldn't think about it until he realizes why it's significant. I'm similar, I'll be reminded of things that didn't really register at the time.
@@sarahberkner He does that a lot. He was putting Tommy to sleep and heard the violin from the tape, and immediately remembered that the bow was loose.
Awesome underrated episode - unfortunately when it first aired it was overshadowed by having a notoriously misleading trailer. It implied that it was going to advance the Trudy plot saying that "you won't believe what he finds" in the garage, and with it being the season finale of the penultimate season it made it all the more believable. Turned out to be a nothingburger on that end. Still a very good episode though. Apparently there was a similar thing with the Man who Shot Santa.
I know that everyone thinks its so hilarious that she wrote the number down instead of taking the paper strips. I would write it down too, because I would quickly lose that flimsy bit of paper.
This is one of the cases that I thought was rushed in the writing. I mean the only physical evidence they had was a necktie, but who strangles someone and then carries the body to dump it but leaves their own tie still there?
You seem to have a lot of time on your hands to nick pick a twenty year show. The best advice for you is to take a good long look at yourself and evaluate your life and maybe someday you might be able to move out of your parents basement...
Someone who's hands were full with the body and told themselves they'll come back for it, then forgot because they didn't write it down. At least, that's why I forget stuff at work. Once made it all the way ouside with a bucket of ice before it clicked in my head it was supposed to go into the sink, and why am I outside with a large heavy bucket of ice?
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 just wondering, were you high when you wrote this by any chance? How old the show is has no bearing on the episode having a weak plot. By your logic people can't criticize anything if it's in the past, do you realise how stupid that thought process is? Also you seem to assume a lot about someone from a single message and personally attack them from your assumptions. Ironically the person your 'advice' applies the most to is yourself
@anonygent sure, but if I was walking around giving away *free* $20 bills, there would be 5% of people who hated that. However, it's widely regarded as one of the best endings of a television series. I'm not judging you either. I'm sure I'm in the 5% on some other things.
Well, there is an actual ending, so that already makes it better than half TV shows. But yeah, I agree with you, I enjoyed that one, especially because of the epilogue.
@Erlewyn aye! It was like, "we saw this interesting portion of his life, and he's going to go on living and solving crimes... and all the other characters are reasonably happy, and he's happier and more healthy than the broken man we first met. Unlike say, " Chuck", where they intentionally ruin the happy ending in the last two episodes. It was a real eff U to the fans of the show.
I love how they kept insinuating the brunette was kinda dim with her own actions....the sign in the Lamaze class had tear-away tabs,but instead she wrote the number on her hand where it would definitely smudge....lol
@@akmi1931 In real life they would most likely need to get an arrest warrant, the circumstances here don't seem to me to be grounds for immediate arrest.
You'd think a guy who bought extremely expensive custom made ties wouldn't use it as a murder weapon and also leave it on the corpse. Also, the fact that he buys those ties isn't really definitive proof.
Hard to say. I have custom made shirts and to make me feel good (I guess), they label says "Custom made for [My name], then the name of the company and then the washing instructions. Is this the same for custom companies? I dont know. If he did leave the tie (which would be stupid of him), then it might even have his name on the tipping, blade, or keeper depending on where the company labels their washing instructions/fabric type (aka "100% silk" or "100% linen" etc...)
Well, if I were investigating a murder, and found an extremely expensive custom made imported tie around the neck of a victim, you can bet I'd be calling the company to find out who they sold it to......
I think the point is, he can afford them, so they feel like a normal tie to him. So, he can just buy another one and doesn’t see them ad damning evidence. He was also, yknow, panicking about his mistress being pregnant.
No, this was not a court. This was a city council meeting, where they decide on local things within their city. Anyone living in the city is allowed to speak on matters.
The guy really needs to get a lawyer. All of that 'evidence' that Monk set forth is circumstantial at best, nowhere near enough for a conviction. Guilt has to be proven 'beyond a reasonable doubt', and that's never more important than with a crime that can result in a life sentence like murder.
“Or…if they don’t catch him….perhaps because he’s too smart and handsome, and has reflexes like a cat, and is, according to his wife Stacy- *very* proficient and suitable at lovemaking- let us hope that he does not kill again. Because if he did, handsome, agile, brilliant lothario that he is, we would never catch him. Or her. Thank you. Good night.”
It's a rare, imported tie. Maybe one man in 50,000 in the city owned them (maybe less) The same kind of rare imported tie was around the victim's neck. Monk using a pen to touch the tie was his personal germaphobia.
Sorry but Harold is one of my least favorite characters lol. But the actor plays the part well. And Monk deserved to lose the parking garage here for calling that girl stupid after he helped her and for wanting the garage to stay for selfish reasons.
I completely agree. I feel sorry for him over Trudy but his condition doesn't give him the right to insult people or inconvenience them. I'm glad she changed her vote, serves him right
Stupid people should be made to acknowledge their. . . shortcomings. They make the world less bearable for others by coasting through life on the good will of those forced to clean up after them.
I like Monk. But I think in some episodes, particularly this one, he is aloud to cross the line of upholding the hero. He speaks to the pregnant women in horrible ways. His particular genius has a down side when it comes to diplomacy. The police use him, but his angle on things is informative, but not representative of the force.
What made him think she said she was pregnant? Cause he said she wouldnt drink now. Maybe she is trying to lose weight, or is on a diet, or is suffering from stomach acid... based on that he insults the pregnant lady? Also no one else wears that tie? That sheriff actually arrests him?
if it's custom made it means it's unique. And you can bet the seller knows who ordered and bought it. You should at the very least explain why your tie was around the victim's neck
@@wisteria3032 How some tie got where it is might be relevant, but they have no proof of that, they don't even question it. Yes, it's a lead investigators could follow. but like i said, that's irrelevant in court, not even close to enough for an arrest, let alone a conviction in court... It's so disconnected from reality you might as well have aliens involved and all the characters dressed up as furbee's. The point is, they're trying to make a 'reaslitic' scene that isn't even close to realistic, it's a joke. :)
@@scruffygaming627 It all depends on how rare the ties are in that part of the US. If he is the only buyer in the area - then it is real evidence. If he is the only buyer in the western half of the US then perhaps it is enough on its own. At a minimum its enough to get a search warrant and look for DNA evidence which would nail the case. Cops can arrest and hold you on suspicion while they look for other evidence. By the time he is released in a few days they would have executed the search warrants and gathered the key evidence. TV is unrealistic on the time for testing and ultimate conviction though. Weeks at a minimum; and often months.
As an autist I don't find monk to be remotely offensive or disgusting. I also don't interpret it the way you do. He's "basically magic" because he's one of the many characters inspired by and following the mould of Sherlock Holmes. He's just a character who has a certain set of traits. It sounds to me like you're finding reasons to be offended. If anything I see a character with obsessive-compulsive behaviour as the main protagonist who is depicted as commanding respect and being a relatively functional, contributing member of society, which is a relatively positive depiction of someone with a mental disorder.
As someone who actually has OCD, I recognize that this is not at all what it's like, but I am not in any way offended. It's an entertaining television show. Most people realize that it's a work of fiction played up for laughs. There is something called a remote, which allows you to change channels and not watch things which offend you. Only you can choose to be offended by things. Or you can let it go and worry about real life issues.
I love Monk's reaction at the beginning, I think he realized that there's someone with more issues than him LOL.
I believe the show makes it a point of debate which one of them has the bigger issues, even Harold and Monk go back and forth about it.

Why would Adrian say "Sheriff?" Meticulous Adrian would know he was a Deputy.

Why would you keep your UNIQUELY IDENTIFIABLE TIE around the neck of a body you're dumping.
Unfortunately I don’t think that is enough evidence
I dont know...that evidence seemed to be a little weak.
