Subtitles are sure nice to have because they include the viewer.

[@raymondfisheriii791]

@@NoHomerS actually, sometimes the lack of subtitles includes the viewer as well. Since Monk doesn’t understand the language, but likely could potentially piece together what happened, we didn’t understand the language, but we still got what she was saying. We could understand that she was confessing, that she’s scared, but most importantly, that she wants her daughter free and safe, and if that means going to jail and confessing to her crimes, then it’s worth it

[@marianpazdzioch6632]

4:10 -- Seriously valid travel tip: If you are ever in this situation--you are reading from the language guide book and the person whose language you are trying to speak can't understand you--SHOW THEM THE WORD OR PHRASE IN THE BOOK. They can read it more easily than they can understand your poor pronunciation of it. I know this from personal experience. ("They don't even know their own language" was exactly my feeling at the time.)

[@valkasolidor6727]

In WWII soldiers often had "pointy talky" cards that described phonetics for some simple phrases and of course also had the translation that you could point to. My dad served in the Pacific and had one for Japanese. I still keep it.

[@DomWeasel]

I had to explain this to my colleagues while working in Germany. German compound words with their multiple syllables are not kind to people who don't speak German and it was painful watching them attempting to try and pronounce an eight syllable word but not knowing which syllables a German would pronounce. Kind of like how Westerners say 'Toke-ee-yo' and Japanese say 'Toke-kyo'. It was amazing how they didn't think to just show the Germans the word rather than attempting to say it. But once I put the notion in their heads, they were constantly sticking their phones in the Germans faces. Even for small words they really should have at least made a little effort with. But this is the same crowd that kept pronouncing the German for milk, 'Milch' to rhyme with 'Filch'...

[@Hamstray]

also travel tip: don't go stabbing people

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@DomWeasel Thanks for adding your own interesting experience to my comment, Dom. If it's not too presumptuous of me, I would suggest this as a less ambiguous way to present the contrast between pronunciations of the city in Japan: "how Westerners say 'Toe-kee-yo' and Japanese say 'Toe-kyo'. Also: How IS "milch" supposed to be pronounced? I have no idea.

I think the translation got buried. The jist of what the mother is saying is that she recognized the taxi driver as an international war criminal that committed many atrocities in her home country (which included murdering a good bit of the mother's family). That is why she stabbed him.

[@Simqer]

Thank you, I had no idea why she killed him.

[@pikapika4355]

@codybijeaux8804 @Simqer There was purposely no translation for this scene, since it was explicitly stated by Monk and Leyla(?) that the cab driver was a butcher who murdered several of her family member during the war. Also, Monk explained it in his deduction and it depicted the mother’s POV of why she killed the cab driver…

[@mysteryfan15]

Omg, Randy is the best. "I cant think of anyone." It kind of reminds me of one where they are looking for a murder victim and the Captain says, she could be anywhere and Randy starts narrowing it down by places she couldn't be, like the police station and his house. 😂😂 That's one of my favorites.

Story aside, it's an interesting fictional nationality. The flag of the Zemenian people is a modified version of the flag of Croatia, where the bottom strip is green instead of red, the checkers on the shield are blue instead of red, and the crown uses different color versions of the original, but with the same designs inside. The language uses Cyrillic script, but seems to be Polish or Russian, or some mix of a few Slavic languages - Croatia and Poland do not use the Cyrillic script.

[@scenariosinthedark3969]

I think the series points to war in Kosovo. Massacres and war crimes that were punished in Den Haag in 2009.

[@pgjuzek]

Polish and Serbian can be pretty similar, Serbia uses Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. Most words would make sense and be more less correctly pronounced in Polish, but not all. my bet would be on Serbia.

lol, Randy felt bad 01:27 as everyone had come up with something worthwhile, including Natalie, who's not a cop, and some cop that he outranks. It's been my theory that Randy was highly ranked based on his competency on the ground. If you're being engaged with an active shooter, if you have a suspect on the run, a suspect who's armed and needs to be arrested, require the use of necessary force while avoiding unnecessary force; that's when I'd choose Randy over anyone else on the show. 👍

[@randomfullywonderful]

@@KenLinx heheh, he handed the captain a loaded weapon when it was supposed to be unloaded, too, but Monk's not just a detective or drama show, they inject a lot of comedy, and I think there are scenes we're not supposed to take so seriously. I mean people have pointed out how many protocols were broken, including on the captains part, by not checking the weapon himself, then handing to a monkey, then having a stray bullet fired in the station, that if this even closely resembled reality, they'd all be fired. 😆

Monk was Right, but he was Hoping that a Woman he admired was Innocent, although he should’ve mentioned “Why would the Killer leave the Bracelet in the Cab after murdering the driver?”, and of course the Police would say “It fell off, Monk. A Clumsy Murder plot like this happens all the time, which makes it easy for us to catch the killer in the shortest amount of time possible.” When Monk was lost in thought about the evidence, the Envelope in the E-Bag caught his attention, which made him realize what really happened that night. The Cab🚕, the Red light🚦, Algonquin Avenue🚏, and the Charm Bracelet Layla claims she never seen before📿.

Fingerprints aren't the be-all end-all. That pin was so thin that the chance of her leaving a solid consistent fingerprint was slim to none - when you hold something thin like that in your first, your fingers aren't completely pressed against it. Crime shows simplify it massively; there's a reason whenever you're asked to give your finger/thumbprint, you have to press your finger down on the paper completely, not just tap it. Not to mention they would have to have the fingerprints in the system already to know who they belong to.
