[Monk and Natalie are in Douglas Fendle's hotel room]
[To Natalie] You were right about karma. It is fantastic!
No, Mr. Monk- [Captain Stottlemeyer enters the room]
Monk, Natalie, thanks for coming.
Hi...
I was downstairs doing a little Dumpster diving. Can't find the murder weapon. There is a steak knife missing from that service tray. I guess he took it with him. So, whaddaya think? [Monk appears to be holding his breath] You okay? [Monk releases a stifled laugh] Are you happy?
I love my work. Is that a crime?
[Whispers to Stottlemeyer] I think they knew the guy.
Know what? What, you know this guy? [Gestures towards the body]
No, not technically...
[Overlapping Monk's words] No, [we] don't know him; never met him face to face.
Never formally introduced. Sort of.... [Natalie gestures to indicate "following" with her fingers] We've been following him.
Yeah.
You were following him? I wonder why.
Well, he was seeing a woman, a married woman, and we were following her.
You were following the woman? I wonder why.
Her husband hired us.
Until you hear different, I wonder why. Wh-what are you doing? You, you doing divorce work now?
He was just doing a favor. He was an old friend of Mr. Monk's.
Wouldn't exactly say he was a friend. More of an acquaintance, actually. He beat me up every week for three years.
[Points an accusing finger at Monk] And that would explain the stupid grin you have on your face. You think you're getting even.
I know I'm getting even.
So, your pal - you told him about the affair, and you told him that Fendle was going to be here? [Monk makes a gesture that suggests "yes"] Well, I think your friend just made the top of my "To Do" List. What's his name? [Natalie steps in front of Monk]
Actually we can't tell you that. Technically, he's a client so it's privilaged information. We could contact a lawyer or a third party... [Monk cuts her off]
Roderick Brody. 23 Orchard Circle. [Disher starts to write down a name and address in his book] No that "O" looks like an "A". B-R-O-D-Y. Roderick Brody.
Well let's go talk to him.
[They file out, and Monk whispers to Natalie]
Prison swirlies.
