[Monk, Natalie and Stottlemeyer are observing Kathy Willowby through binoculars. She is carrying some bags of ice into the cabin]
She's carrying two packages. Looks like ice.
Exactly! She's been buying ice all day. That makes 16 bags she's brought in so far.
Maybe she's having a party.
No food! No beer, no chips, just ice!
Maybe she's having an Adrian Monk party.
The only other thing that she bought today is a new radio. Plus, I am positive I heard a man screaming at 1:15 last night!
That was me. You tied my foot to the bed.
I mean before that, and it was definitely coming from that cabin. [shushes them; faint country music can be heard from across the lake] You hear that? She said her husband didn't let her play country music in the house.
Maybe he's not home.
Where did he go? There's his boat! They only have the one car.
Maybe he went on a walk!
No, I have been watching the house all day. Captain, I have not seen him.
[Stottlemeyer gets an idea. He goes inside while Monk and Natalie continue to observe Kathy. Monk hands the binoculars over to Natalie. Kathy takes another bag of ice into the cabin. Inside, the cabin phone rings. Stottlemeyer comes back out of the FBI cabin carrying the phone]
It's ringing.
But Agent Grooms said "no calls."
Agent Grooms can kiss- [Kathy picks up the phone]
Hello?
Oh, hello. Mrs. Willowby.
Yes?
Uh, is Martin there? My name's Darrell Hendershot. I'm a friend of Martin's. We went to high school together. Uh, we're having a big high school reunion.
Oh, I'm so sorry! He is on the lake fishing.
Oh, well, okay. I'll call back later!
You do that.
Thank you very much. [hangs up] She says that he's on the lake fishing.
Captain, she killed him. [Natalie sets down the binoculars in disgust]
You have got to be kidding. Can I take you anywhere?!
