His name is Adrian Monk. He'll put two and two together eventually and this case, two and two equals me. It would get rather personal. He'd come after me, try to kill me. He'd probably succeed. Because... twelve years ago, I killed his wife.

[On a farewell message] Hello Adrian. If you're watching this, it means I'm dead. I know we said we'd never have any secrets but... there's something I never told you. Something happened, something terrible... years ago, before we met. I know you've always idealized me, you think I'm some sort of saint. But sweetheart I am not perfect. I made a mistake, a big mistake. It was fifteen years ago. Before we met, I had an affair, with my law professor. He was married at the time, I swear I didn't know that. We... well, I was pregnant... I know you're disappointed. I didn't love him, I didn't... even really know him, but I loved being pregnant. It was a girl. She was born January 2nd, 1983... She died the same day. She lived for nine minutes. I never... saw her. I never even saw her. Anyway, the father, the professor, his name is Ethan Rickover and he's a judge now, he's just been nominated to the Court of Appeals which is why I'm making this tape because the woman who's been missing all week, Wendy Stroud, is the midwife who delivered my daughter. And Ethan called me, yesterday. And just, out of the blue, I mean, I haven't talked to him in over ten years and he- he wants to meet me tomorrow. And I don't know, maybe I'm just being paranoid, but... there was just something in his voice, it just... it scared me, you know? And Ethan has a- he has a dark side, I mean, I know it I've seen it. I know what he's capable of and... anyway. That's why I'm making this tape. And if I'm wrong, which I'm sure I am, and... nothing happens, then I'll just switch it out for that digital watch that you've been asking for. But if I'm right, and something happens, I wanted you to know everything. Cause you deserve to know everything. Adrian... you are more than the love of my life. You are my life. You are... my life.
You're going to kill a federal judge?
Tonight, I'm the judge.
[Last words] You take care of her!
[To Monk] Trudy sent you a gift. She sent you someone to love. It's what you've been missing.
[On the phone] All right, I'll call you later. [Hangs up]
Who was that?
That was the Deputy Commissioner.
Deputy Commissioner Patrick Watson?
Yeah, that's right.
You said, "I love you."
I do... love him. I think he's doing a great job. Why? Why? You don't think he's...
No, I think he's doing a fine job. I don't tell him that I love him.
Well, maybe you should. It's just common courtesy.
It's not common courtesy.
Well, I think you're doing a great job. I love you.
All right, Randy, I'm sorry I asked. When you're ready to tell me what's really going on, don't.
[Last lines of the series following up on the first episode of the series]
What are you doing?
Just checking to make sure the stove is off.
Good thinking. You wouldn't want to go all the way across town with your stove on.
I know. That actually happened to me a few years ago...
