Any ideas?
I don't know. I don't know.... Okay. Maybe a hit man was paid to kill Julie Teeger, but he doesn't know what she looks like.
And he's killing all of them? Monk, that doesn't track! The M.O.s are so different: the housewife was stabbed and the graduate student was run down.
Okay, okay, you're right, that doesn't make any sense... [Disher comes in]
Captain. Monk. I've got two ideas. Which do you want first?
The one that will make me less pissed off. [Randy sets a file down on the desk]
Theory A. I remember this old case - Matthew Teeger, 35 years old. The guy's been committed twice for acute schizophrenia and delusions.
Any arrests?
Yeah, assault. Three years ago he attacked his stepfather. He said he was defending his mother. Apparently he's obsessed with her. Guess what her name is? [Stottlemeyer lifts up the page in question]
Julia Teeger.
A history of violence and a mother obsession.
I like it.
I like it, too. Let's talk to this guy.
[Monk, Stottlemeyer and Disher leave the squad room]
[To Randy] What about your other idea? You said you had two?
Oh, yeah... well, it's a just a theory, just brainstorming.
[Glances at the DVD in Randy's hand] The Terminator? What, you think he might be a robot assassin sent from the future?
Well, he was killing women with the same name. Forget it.
[Imitates Schwarzenegger] "Sarah Connor, come with me if you want to live."
Uh, that was T-2.
Well, maybe we could lure him to a smelting plant on the outskirts of town. [They get on the elevator]
Can I have that back, please?
[Still imitating] "And things of this nature..".
