[@MichaelJMetz]

One of the aspects of this show I like is Capt. Leland Stottlemeyer. He shows his friendship to Monk in any situation.

[@Crackshotsteph]

Weren't they partners in the past?

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

@@Crackshotsteph Yes, before Stottlemeyer made Captain he and Monk were partners.

[@Josh.WDW.]

​@@bradleyj.fortner2203 It's been a while, but I thought Monk was partners with Joe (?). But he and Stottlemeyer have been friends and colleagues for over a decade

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

@@Josh.WDW. No. They were working a case together when when they got the call that Trudy died. Pretty sure they also made references to it in other episodes as well.

[@hallbrawlerspodcast5091]

Except for when he talked to the review board. Lol

This was a very long awaited moment for monk you got to love the the captain stopped monk from killing his wife's killer like monk stopped the captain from killing his wife's killer that's what a true friend does .

“I can’t find the siren” “….I might’ve sold it” this show is so underrated me and my mom watched it growing up

[@GCTACOBATMAN]

My mom and I watched it every week religiously. Never missed a show, even if we were sick.

[@redstateforever]

I watched it with my mom when it was first on, now my daughter and I have Monk nights, lol. “Mom, do you want to Monk tonight?” YES!

[@EveryLittleBitCounts]

This was a household staple for me too. Right up there with Psych.

[@samueltaft4914]

Same. Me and my mom watched every episode and I never realized it until this finale.

[@orbison]

Yeah, you have to pay attention to the small hints of Randy's big surprise in the finale. (phone call, selling the siren, lamenting that he would miss the action)

[@kimberlyjeanne9456]

Monk saying "I'm the judge" was badass lol

[@furter189]

That judge really made a mistake poisoning Monk, at that point he had nothing to lose, he says "are you going to kill a federal judge?" but really what could anyone who is dying lose at that point?

[@ResolvedRage]

I really would've loved if the gun was empty so Monk could taunt him about how he was going to spend the rest of his life in prison for what he did to Trudy, and how Judge Rickover thought Monk was obsessed with wanting to kill him so he never doubted the gun wasn't loaded. It would've been so satisfying seeing Judge Rickover pull the trigger and he just hears the click and looks at the gun in shock.

[@glenndallas7171]

It would have been good, but it also would have spoiled the final mystery: what he meant when he said "You take care of her."

[@patricelockertanthony7630]

I wish you'd been one of the writers. Yours is a much more satisfying conclusion to the story (and it flows better with Monk's brand of genius).

[@Nefariousbig]

This would for sure detract from the emotional impact though. The loss of control and desperation is part of what makes this situation hit hard. We've seen calculating Monk plenty throughout the series, this was meant to be him on the edge...

[@KaitoKiara]

Extra Points to Randy. He sends the Cops away, who were pointing their guns at Monk, so that they were alone.

[@christophsiebert1213]

He sends them away, only for them to come back literally the next cut, as you can clearly see.

[@redrasegarden]

“I can’t die until I know” That’s prophetic

[@weneedaladder8384]

I like how when Randy shows up on the scene, he aims his gun at Rickover instead of Monk. He just trusts him enough to know that if Monk is aiming a gun at someone, he should be too.

Alot of that going on these days

[@UmisTsukishiro00]

Only Randy would sell a police siren at a yard sale. 🙈

[@christophsiebert1213]

While funny, he sold off government property. Not only that, someone out there now has an official police siren on their car. Those are literal crimes and grounds for suspension at the least. I never liked Randy. To me, he's too goofy to be part of a homicide division. I sometimes even question his intelligence, which only furthers the disbelief of him being in such a cruel division to begin with.

Easy way out. Plus, I am sure you know what it is like for cops, lawyers, and judges in prison, being locked up with the very same people that they themselves put in there. It will not end well for them. 🤷‍♂️

[@kleinert02]

Trust me there a place we’re there going and I bet they wished they never did that.

I have no problem with scumbags offing themselves. Probably the most selfless act they’ve ever done. I know where they’re going, and they’ll regret getting there sooner.

There was so much going on in this scene lol Corrupt judge that killed someone and buried her in his own backyard and then killed a detective's wife. Detective drugs a cop, steals his gun, essentially kidnapping a judge to dig a hole. Which if the body was not found, could be seen as him making the judge dig his own grave. Then the 2 cops racing through the city in the pouring rain, no lights, no sirens. Reckless driving, driving on the side walk, Hit and run, negligent discharge of a firearm, brandishing and probably a few more things haha

“Nobody cares about affairs anymore.” Since when? Wasn’t there several episodes where some woman was killed because of an affair.

[@captaindreadeye6264]

You may be thinking of "Mr. Monk and the Astronaut". If so, the affair was part of it, but the bigger issue was that the mistress was also planning to reveal that the astronaut beat her to the extent that she had to be hospitalized, and since he was going to run for Senate, he couldn't risk her revealing that. And I think in general, these men killed them because if the affair went out, they'd lose access to their wives' money.

[@lucasyoshikawa5933]

dont remember all, but i think at least 3 cases, were the culprid tried to hide an affair by either killing the lover or the one being cheated on

[@nerdycat2625]

What they mean is, as a political scandal, nobody cares about affairs anymore. Not that an individual person wouldn't care about an affair.

[@bufficliff8978]

It was cultural commentary not analytics on crime statistics.

[@celesasheldon6931]

I heard that

[@marckempe2143]

What is with this title? At the start of the series, Trudy had been dead for four years, this is the end of season eight, that’s only 12-13 years, not 2 decades.

Thats lame, who will beleive that Monk didnt pull the trigger and his two best friends just gave the testimony that the judge did a suicide?

[@RobJBost]

You can see the other two cops in the background still. Plus, Balistics can tell how far the gun was when it was shot, and the person holding a gun when it fires has residue on their hands.

The angle of the shot and effect from a close range shot would be evident and line up with their statements he shot himself
