Monk Holiday Special on USA
I watched the Monk holiday special on USA. It was a good episode of my favorite obsessive detective, Adrian Monk. Mister Monk as Natalie Teeger calls him was investigating a murder of a homeless man. The homeless man had been running from someone and had told his friends. They brushed it off and called him paranoid. The next day, the three friends went looking for him and found him dead in a fridge. They went to see Mr. Monk who had been putting up his cardboard cut out of a Christmas tree in his apartment. The three homeless men came to his apartment to hire them to investigate the death of their friend, the homeless man.They said they could pay him fourteen dollars in redeemable bottles. At the same time, Lt. randy Disher was running the police station because the Captain was ill with arthritis and could barely walk. People were being healed by a fountain. They would have drink written on their door if they were ill. The people would drink from the fountain and would magically be healed. Leland decided to drink from the fountain and magically could walk. He then decided to join a monastery and take a vow of silence and travel abroad on a missions trip. When Adrian was eating dinner with the homeless men and Julie he confronted them on not having enough money. Three of the bottles were Canadian bottles and could not be redeemed. However, Monk saw that these were from the Captain’s yard and that maybe the Captain had seen the homeless man before his murder. They traveled to see him, but he gave them a good bye letter saying he was leaving for two years. Natalie dragged Adrian to the fountain to drink, they discovered that half of the pill bottles were filled by Owen Chlumsky a pharmacist. His fiance had told them that he had been switching peoples prescriptions to make them sicker and put medicine in the fountain. There was a dead body buried under the fountain so if it was a shrine then it would not be destroyed. Adrian and Natalie told the Captain. He decided to come back to work.
