Why did he kill the nurse?
He had no choice! Katherine Rutherford read that note twenty-five years ago. It would have been made public, she would have recognized it!
My God, Mr. Monk, he could be doing it right now! [Stottlemeyer and Disher reach the registration station]
The registration sheets are all gone!
Oh!
Monk, do you have a cell phone number?
No.
Do you know where they stayed?
[Sighs, exasperated] Some hotel!
There are over 200 hotels in this city, Monk! It’ll take us over five hours to check them all!
Hold on. Hold on! [Rolls his shoulders forward a couple of times]
What’s he doing?
I don’t know. What are you doing?
The hotel where they’re staying. It was on their registration form.
Yeah? So?
When Dianne signed in... [flashback to Dianne filling her registration sheet out on Monk’s back] We were standing in line. She wrote... she wrote on my back. [Natalie smiles, realizing what Monk is doing]
Can he do that?
It's how he met Trudy! It’s his superpower!
Oh, there’s her name. Home address.
Okay, Mr. Monk, it was near the bottom.
She has terrible penmanship. Why did it have to be cursive? [Makes what almost appear to be spasms as he tries to remember what Dianne wrote] She ordered the prime rib, medium rare.
Keep going. It’s just below that.
Yeah, there’s an L, uh, L-E... Lexus! Is there a Lexus Hotel?
No that’s the car they drove, Monk!
Keep going. [Monk finally reaches the section with the hotel name]
There’s a “P”, “P”, No! “P”, “P”, “B”! “B”! “B”!
“B”?
It’s a “B.” It’s a “B.” It’s a “B.” “L.”
Bla…
“A.”
The Bla…The Blaza…
The Blaza! Plaza!
B-L-A…The Bla…The Blab…
The Blakemore Hotel!
It’s right up the street! [They take off]
