I love that every cop in the room looks exactly like a cop "Ssssh I'm undercover" *wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses with a holster poking out of his coat* "super stealth"
They do that deliberately. I've been a community organizer for more than 25 years. When "undercover" cops turn up with shades and buzzcuts and overly-large jackets to hide their guns like they're cosplaying the Terminator, they're there to be seen so that you'll stop looking for the _real_ undercovers who look exactly like everyone else.
@@Shek1nah There's one way you can spot them, though: their shoes. Most undercovers won't buy shoes just for their undercover work. They're black, usually immaculate, and if you can get a good look at their treads, cop shoes usually have a pretty distinctive tread. That's how we've caught them in the past.
Don't forget Leland beats a perp up with Randy's laptop in one episode. But he was asking for it because the guy asked him, "what are you gonna do to me, beat me up with a phone book? No one uses phone books anymore, they use computers." A but later he walks out of the room with Randy's laptop in pieces and tells him he owes him a new laptop.
@@matthewjones2095 I remember a story from,,, I'd say 90s, a thief was chasing a convenience store clerk. Poor clerk, first he tried shooting the thief, but the gun had one of those child locks on the gun and the poor man couldn't remember the right number to remove the lock. he finally figured it out only to find out the gun had no ammo. as he was running away from the thief, he threw the lock at the thief, hit him with it, and killed him
Psych really changed for me with the later seasons tho. I liked it better when the episodes were more 1 offs instead of them all being somehow related. It was either when Lassie got a gf/married or when Jules found out Shawn was a fake that kinda marked the downfall for me, obviously she would’ve needed to know before the end but there were better ways to do it that didn’t span half a season. I actually stopped watching the show there. Recently I rewatched the series and decided to continue to the end and after that whole arc settled down it seemed better, but not quite as good as the first few seasons.

@@Account.for.Comment Well, dumping everything on the government only works when the government doesn't really do anything but run the welfare state while everything else goes to hell, either quickly or slowly.
That doctor thinks he could buy her with gold cake. And then he just kills her when rejected. And that poor busker. That’s one bad doctor. It’s a funny show.
All the people complaining "they did a terrible job of being undercover" they weren't undercover. They were there to arrest the doctor during which they would be immediately identifying themselves as cops. Did they really expect that they were planning "Hey, I'm an insurance sales man out on my lunch break, I happen this evidence on me that you murdered a woman. I'm placing you under arrest, as an insurance salesman, because that's what I am. Not a cop. Okay let's go you're under arrest. And you can thank that guy over there for solving the case. He's a taxi driver". You don't go to arrest someone undercover.
pretty sure the gold isn't going to digest in 36 hours, but there might be a few restaurants that have gold items so the flower petals are probably very helpful too.
there's a follow up novel which notes Thorpe's entire unit was shut down, and he blames Monk. it leads to him becoming a criminal himself and framing Monk for several heists.
They probably had way more officers than just the guys waiting at the hotel entrance. Leland was just getting sick of that guys constant note typing, since I’m assuming that he was making a summary of the whole case and he tossed that gadget at the doctor to finally make him stop.
For a second I thought Monk wouldn’t walk around in a morgue but I think I changed my mind. If there’s anywhere he’d be comfortable, it’s probably a morgue.
I did that with a Motorola microtac with the extra power battery pack. My brother knocked a forklift driver off of a forklift but he used to play baseball so he had a arm for it. It weighed about a half a pound stock. It was a brick of a phone I loved.
Anyone else notice that the Six-Way Killer did the math wrong on his receipt? 1:27 He's cheating the restaurant out of a dollar. $603.50+$51.30+$200=$854.80, not the 853.80 that he signed off on.
Funny thing is the police could have easily put her picture on the news asking the public for help the wait staff at the restaurant would have told the police she was there on a date with that killer and ran the credit card of every person that paid for that dessert
That was the reason for the second killing; to make everyone afraid of a serial killer, so that the woman's murder (which nobody know was by the same killer) would get pushed aside by the police, and also pushed off of the news.
However, Monk was in it to solve the case first and foremost. He never put down the lead detective who was unable to solve the murder. Like Sherlock Holmes who steps aside and let Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard take credit for solving the crimes.
I think the cast of The Matrix want their wardrobes back :-P Joking aside, I absolutely love this show. They don't make shows like this anymore... I wish it was on UK Netflix! :-(
You forget sometimes how violent the show was at times. Although I always liked Monk, tonally it didn't always match up with the otherwise fun/quirky nature.
You’re thinking of the T-Mobile Sidekick (carrier version of the Danger Hiptop) cellphone. What he threw is a lot larger; it looks like an OQO Model 01 PC. It was a tiny handheld PC with a really tiny keyboard.
I didnt know what this show was about.... in fact ive never heard of this show.... i have nothing in common with this show.... but still it came up on my recommendation..... thanks youtube now im 11 videos in..........
How is nobody talking about how absurd that fall was haha he lobbed a cell phone at a fleeing victim and the dude just falls down and lays there? Never would that happen, even if a mlb pitcher threw a phone at his back, he wouldn't have fallen and if he happened too, he'd get right back up and keep running
This episode was not as great as others because of the verbal abuse used on the gang by the FBI man. . Usually just one gets the treatment, this reminded me of the quad approaching the Wizard.
Its funny that this whole episode is used to make fun of the technology focused shows like CSI and the like. Because its the old fashioned guy who figures it all out in the end.
I like how the Medical Examiner gave Thorpe a death glare. Spoiler Also fun fact Thorpe actually ends up being the killer in one of the Monk mystery novels.
If they were that close to the deadline, there should have hardly been anything left to recognize. It doesn't just vanish instantaneously at the 36-hour mark, it happens gradually.
Except 36 hours is the norm. Some people it is shorter others longer. Besides, Gold doesn’t digest. It’s a metal and has to pass through the body. I would use a strainer, collect the gold, get my money back.
Just for context this show was still airing around the time CSI and other Forensic related crime drama was at its peak. This episode in particular was mocking those shows making it all about the technology.

"I like the way the pathologist glares at him and says, "We already wasted a day and a half."
Yeah like he’s telling him you should have slowed down and you almost let the killer win with your impatience
"Here's what happened..."
I feel like I wait all day for that sentence.
I always find "I need to coverup my murder.... with ANOTHER MURDER!" is a bad plan to begin with.
And yet it happens every other episode of Monk
Maybe the inspiration is human tends to lie to cover another lie.
Tbf, it's pretty logical to cover up murder with no plan with murder with plan.
This episode really grown on me when I grew up. Love it when the writers acknowlege human ingenuity over technological buzzwords.

No one ran after him.

If you notice Randy was readying his gun and going after him, at the same time Leland threw the feds device
"You're right one of your gizmos caught the killer" lol.
