Monk, Season 6

[Monk, Stottlemeyer, and Disher arrive at the second Julie Teeger crime scene in a cruiser]

Natalie:
It's not her!

Monk:
Another Julie Teeger? That's impossible!

Capt. Stotlemeyer Very nearly. [They start walking towards the body]

Natalie:
But this one is totally different; it was an accident. She was a graduate student, she was on her bike, and some guy just hit her and kept on going.

Monk:
But her name? Her name is definitely Julie Teeger, spelled the same?

Lt. Disher:
You know, actually, these things happen all the time. I once took this course in statistics; there was this woman in Michigan. She won the lottery; the next day, she got bit by a shark.

Monk:
And what does that prove?

Lt. Disher:
I don't know. I ended up dropping the class.

[While Monk looks at the body, Stottlemeyer looks at the extensive damage Natalie has put on his new car, namely the smashed-in hood]

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
What the hell happened? It was only two miles.

Natalie:
I took a shortcut. I... cut across the creek.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
There's no bridge across the creek!

Natalie:
I know.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
There is no bridge across the creek.

Natalie:
Yes, I know.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
There's no bridge across the creek.

Natalie:
Captain, I am sorry. I will pay for everything.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
It's okay. It's insured. [tries once more to get a smudge off the battered hood of the car]

Lt. Disher:
Yeah remember, sir, that you did say any parent would have done the same thing.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
Uh-huh. I think I need to be alone.

Natalie:
Here. [She bangs the hood down, but it doesn't fit. She and Randy walk away to join Monk by the body]

Lt. Disher:
What is it?

Monk:
Her bike. She has the all the safety features - flashers, two mirrors. She was obviously very careful.

Natalie:
So?

Monk:
So what was she doing on the wrong side of the road? [Monk pulls a flower petal wedged into the bike frame, and realizes that it comes from a bush in the grass a few feet away. Walking over, he finds a set of tire tracks.]

Lt. Disher:
Monk? Check this out. [Monk comes back]

Monk:
What is it?

Lt. Disher:
It's a bruise. It's square.

Monk:
It's from a trailer hitch. [to Natalie and Stottlemeyer] Captain, he chased her across the park. He hit her. And then he backed up to finish her off.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
He backed up?

Monk:
He ran her over. This was no random accident.

Capt. Stottlemeyer:
We've got two homicides, same name, on the same day.

Monk:
Someone is killing Julie Teegers? [Natalie is now horrified]

Natalie:
Oh my God!
