Monk and Dr. Jackson in “Unfinished Business”

Why do you seek this child of flesh and bones?

He is the son of my wife.

But not your son.

No. But my wife is dead now and I promised her I would make sure the boy is safe.

And you are sure he will be safe with you?

Yes. Absolutely.

Because it is so clear, it takes a longer time to realize it. If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago.
