@@randomfullywonderful Thanks, Random. That seemed the most obvious thing, but it didn't seem to warrant such a strenuous warning not to open the drawer.
What irony; Monk captured the killer who almost ruined his chance at preserving the parking lot, just to ruin the preservation of the parking lot with his own words.
I am convinced the dildo in the drawer is like the gold aura in pump friction. Best to keep the truth under lock and key in the dark. Mum is the word. He was never going to preserve anything. We can leave all that nonsense to the parks and recreation department. It is their forte.
In this case, the writers overdid it a bit with the dumb, dolt part. It was repeated for comic effect, but it was rather a cheap shot. Once would have been sufficient. Maybe Monk believed that he needed to repeat it bc she was too dumb to get it.😉
Love it took a minute for Monk to realize the councilwoman didn’t have roommates.😂 Also, Natalie is doing Monk a favor by not showing him what’s in the drawer, especially given his incredible memory.😅
The fact that this guy's immediate response to finding out his girlfriend was "pregnant" was killing her makes me wonder what other red flags she missed...
I Remember this episode. After Monk talked about how stupid the pregnant councilwoman was, she changed her vote on the matter that was of such interest to Monk.
Which fully cemented my hatred of her (and Harold). They both knew full well what it meant to Monk and BOTH of them chose to side against him purely out of spite.
@@Maxplosives It was the parking garage, right? IIRC, the park they built on the location was named the Trudy Monk Memorial Park, so it kinda worked out. The episode also went to great lengths to point out that there was literally no more evidence to be found in the garage, and Monk only wanted to leave it standing because Trudy was killed there.
@@jackcarlson4358 True, but they still sided against Monk purely out of spite. The woman absolutely didn't really care either way, and Harold outright told Monk he'd change his vote if Monk told him his new psychiatrist, which to me says he really doesn't care either.
@@Nimmermaer There is such a thing as going too far. He insulted her, but she responded by voting to destroy (as far as she knew) any remaining hope he had of finding his wife's killer. The two are not equal.

Been watching a couple of these and I like how many "Monk" episodes actually have decent mysteries. Enough that you can actually piece together clues to figure it out. Not too challenging but not too easy, either. Some detective shows are not very good at the mystery part (cough, Law and Order, cough)....
If you haven't watched the show, just do it. It's a fun show where you can just watch individual episodes without having to watch the entire show. The heartfelt moments are the best ones
To him, it wasn't special. Rich people believe everyone has the same stuff. I remember a rich university professor telling a poor single Mom to take a cab to school bc "time is money"!
In CA the sheriff's department does a lot. I belive in addition to local law enforcement they also man the courts and jails. So, they might have had jurisdiction. Even if they didn't, they had a person accused of a crime and they have the power of arrest so they hold him and turn him over to the proper authorities. Same as when you commit a crime outside of CA and run to CA. If the sheriff at the court recognizes you, he will hold you untill you can be returned to the state you ran from.
@@JohnWolf926 It's an extremely expensive and tailor made tie so yes, it is good evidence. Circumstantial evidence is still evidence, and this is a very strong piece of evidence. It would be enough to at least arrest him
Honestly, I don’t feel all that bad for monk this episode, he was being very selfish and cared more for the parking garage than the deaths of others. I don’t blame that girl for changing her vote to spite him
1:15 don’t say that Natalie this is a murder if there is a clue in there than they need to know you can’t let the bad guy win just because you saw one thing 4:59 uh Monk? 5:00 stop talking 5:04 😶no no no 5:05 😮 5:11 Shut up 🤐😦 5:48 you were close to winning
First time I have noticed bad acting or directing in a Monk episode. There was nothing natural in the way that body in the water rotated, but then, to make it worse, the supposedly dead body moved her head (presumably to be able to breathe.)
lol, the way he just leaves his tie on her neck is really stupid for a guy who otherwise seems intelligent, because he'd know it was a distinguished tie, because it was *his* tie. In fact, because he wears such high end ties, he would have done himself a favor by putting a cheap tie on her, instead. Would have thrown the cops off his scent even more. Reminds me of the guy who stole his victims belt because he used his to hang him, but it had his victims employment information printed on it. 🙄However, he seemed dumb enough to do it.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere It's enough circumstance to warrant investigating further enough to find more solid evidence. Shaking down his alibi for example, cell towers, his car spotted by traffic cams, etc. since now they have know the who and the where, it's a lot easier to find what you're looking for.
this obsession with name brand clothing is weird. its a tie, there is no difference between one from wal-mart and one from france. its amazing what people will pay for complete pointlessness.
I mean there is definitely a difference in quality between a cheap, mass produced, polyester tie and one handmade from real cotton. Not saying that the cheap one doesn't do the job, or that it the expensive one is worth the cost, but you could definitely tell the difference.
That is NOT a British necktie, it's American. The stripes are slanted in the wrong direction. A British necktie has the diagonal slant pointing UPwards to the wearers left. These stripes point down. Gotcha Monk!
This is bothering me… his whole clue about the pregnancy tests? They aren’t valid after 15 minutes. They show up as pregnant after a while. I mean, kudos for solving the case, but…
@@CamThomasFanatic lol, sure he is, but if Monk didn't press her, a triple murderer would have gotten away. I'm saying that her issues are more consequential. I don't know, it isn't nice to speak that way of people, I get you, she can't help not being the brightest bulb, and Monk could have been sensitive and worded things differently and came to the same conclusion, but again, a triple murderer just standing there, he just cracked the case, so her feelings kinda went to the back of his mind. Nevertheless, he paid for that, the parking garage was destroyed.
This was honestly one of the laziest solves to me, you can't tell me this guy really left the very unique imported murder weapon on the victim.............that's begging to get caught
It's also noted that the tie was custom-made and not available in the US, so at the very least it's enough to make him an incredibly likely suspect. It could only have been someone else if A) they broke into his house to steal a tie (investigation would show no signs of a breaking and entering at his house), or B) someone else relatively nearby happens to order the same ties from the same company to the same measurements (unlikely enough on its own, but even if they did find someone, they could easily have an alibi or a lack of connection to the victim). Maybe it doesn't 100% prove he did it, but it narrows it down enough and provides enough of an idea of what happened that people like the judge and jury would still declare him guilty.
@@Maxplosives Plus, this isn't going to be *ALL* the evidence, I'm sure the cops are going to do some digging. Both their DNA would be all over their love nest for one thing.
I love the little detail of the pregnant lady being so stupid that she wrote the phone number down instead of tearing one of the strips off.
OH GOD, I didn't noticed.
that's so funny
That’s so funny!!!!
Or that she realised that she might actually lose the slip, so she wrote it down instead.
Actually, no. She really was that stupid.
Ah! Good eye!
I weep for her unborn offspring. No matter what happens next, they never asked to be born to someone so stupid.
5:39 Just the subtle joke of her writing the number on her hand when she can pull the paper tab is really funny to me
Wow! How did I miss that?!

Mr monk lacks empathy or sympathy . He was warned by shirona .

He was completely right about her, but should have kept it quiet.... especially since she just helped him win
Monk isn't at all malicious or bullying, he just says everything exactly how he sees it.

It was the key to her boss's place, and her boss had been missing / found dead.
Does everything happen on Vinton Street? That street is cursed.

Law and Order isn't about crime. Its purpose is to push a woke narrative on the viewers. Which is why it's unpalatable.
I feel sorry for the dolt.
All she was trying to do was improve her life only to get used int what turned out to be a murder case.
Since the tie was so rare and expensive and could tie him to the murder it seems like he would have took it with him.
It happens, a lot.
Ever hear of leopold and loeb?
One guy left his incredibly rare and distinctive glasses at the body dump spot by accident.
To him, it wasn't special. Rich people believe everyone has the same stuff. I remember a rich university professor telling a poor single Mom to take a cab to school bc "time is money"!
I love watching the part where he took out his pen and picked up the tie label, imported custom made. The lawyer knew he was screwed.
If I had been Monk, I would have opened that drawer to see what I should never, ever, ever, ... see!
My thought exactly. The more times Natalie said never, ever, the more curious I became.
Favorite episode of mine; mainly because of the secretary and the Hot Dog Czar. They were funny.
Yes. Mine too. The sectretary is brillant. And the hot dog crew is hilarious.
Oh wow! An episode I haven't seen!
Monks a freakin genius
I do not remember Monk being this much of a jerk to any individual in the entire series lol. He was not holding back.
He was definitely more of a jerk to the Urinator.
He hung himself with his own tie....but noone realized it
Goddess, I wish this show would come back.
0:52 Whatever was in that drawer probably would have sent Monk into shock. Must have been pretty bad.
Like you don’t know.😉
@@daniobrien1049 Well I got a pretty good idea.
It helps the writers not to have to think about it. The best threats are the ones unsaid. It pays not to elaborate. 😂
If she was pregnant, the DNA would have shown he was the baby's father. He was shooting himself in the foot either way.
Yes, my guess is he didn't expect anyone would find the body.
now I'm interested in what's in the drawer
😏
dildo probably
Space jam dvd
Probably
Just dildos.
Long, long, loooooooooooooooooooong dildos.
Monk couldn’t see what was in the drawer because the prop department couldn’t afford it.
She had roommates. A cheerleader, a French maid.
Do guys like monk really exist?
No. Or they are 6 years old.
The irony that he's sometimes so obtuse to common sense things, just like the pregnant lady. Except she had Pregnancy brain to blame 😂😂
00:54 Natalie found some 'toys'.
and they must have been quite....impressive or intricate
"Bad Dragon"
I'm guessing it was the obvious one, and most people are too tired afterward to wash it. 😆
@@ripley_hicks_newt_86 haha I had to look it up
The thing that gets me: if it's a custom-made tie, couldn't they find out who that custom tie was made for from the manufacturer?
Imported. They'd need to get the English tailor, then shipping, etc.But they only had to look for a rich man.
Love looking at Monk
I wonder what inside that drawer ? 😊😊
3:04 was that Andy cohen?
no
Wonderful
My #1 fav show of all time!
Were the contents of the dresser drawer ever revealed?
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. (I haven't seen the full episode.)
Oh! Both Columbo and Monk take place in LA.
Monk takes place in San Francisco...
And he would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling Monk!
Question: how can a Sheriff arrest a person for murder when it is out of their jurisdiction? The sheriff is designated at the court.
They'll hold him until the real police arrive
They don't arrest them, they detain them.
In CA the sheriff's department does a lot.
I belive in addition to local law enforcement they also man the courts and jails. So, they might have had jurisdiction.
Even if they didn't, they had a person accused of a crime and they have the power of arrest so they hold him and turn him over to the proper authorities.
Same as when you commit a crime outside of CA and run to CA. If the sheriff at the court recognizes you, he will hold you untill you can be returned to the state you ran from.
Would the same type of tie really be enough evidence for a conviction? I feel any competent lawyer could argue that as a circumstantial coincidence
@@JohnWolf926 It's an extremely expensive and tailor made tie so yes, it is good evidence.
Circumstantial evidence is still evidence, and this is a very strong piece of evidence. It would be enough to at least arrest him
Traylor Howard is adorably gorgeous
My imagination wanders at what kinds of "toys" were in the drawer.
They would irritate him very much. For sure.
What was in the drawer?
Gotta say, Monk was mean in this one. Apparently accurate, but mean nevertheless.
Did you see the chapter? Still not being rude what he said to her XD
That's a lotta evers. I had to save so I could count them.
What kind of a fool strangles someone with his own tie, and leaves it on the body?
Honestly, I don’t feel all that bad for monk this episode, he was being very selfish and cared more for the parking garage than the deaths of others. I don’t blame that girl for changing her vote to spite him
With that summation he was basically asking for it
I agree.
As smart as he is, he still has to learn to pay attention to what he is going to say.
Episode?
Monk a peur de Natalie plus qu'il avais peur de sharonna
He heard she used to work with Deadpool.
Nathalie est d'une famille très riche. Sharona est plutôt de basse classe. Monk se sent peut-être supérieur. 😉
Too bad he didn't shop at Walmart for his ties. I bet there are dozens of Walmart ties out there. Dozens!
Monk ist super. Wird es ähnlich wie bei Columbo auch mal einen deutschen Kanal geben?
That's no evidence.
Great
Funny man
anyone else want to know what was in that drawer.?
