Monk Car Bomb Maker

This scene rounds out the first episode of Mr. Monk Takes Manhattan (Scene 3, Episode 1). Typically, USA's Monk starts and ends its seasons with storylines involving Trudy Monk, Adrian's wife who was killed by a car-bomb in the timeline three years prior to the show's beginning, and is often referenced as the reason for Monk's intricacies.
Though there are a few clues to Trudy's death, Monk struggles to make sense of the crime scene and it remains the only murder he has yet to solve.
In this episode, we see a piece of this important yet scarcely followed storyline unfold; Mr. Monk meets the maker of the car bomb which killed Trudy.

'And this is Trudy, the woman you killed... truning it back on..' best moment of the scene

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

[@endertobias1908]

Best moment of the series

[@daviddickey9762]

my all time favorite scene in the whole series

[@PhalanxKnight]

That is an awesome line. For me the best moment is “You were the husband?” “I AM the husband”

[@TheOneAndOnLEE.]

You spelled “series” wrong.

[@justincooper1342]

To me, this scene demonstrates a fact that the show always demonstrates...but gets easily overlooked. And it's that Monk is honestly terrifying. His fearsome intelligence combined with his memory and attention to detail...you could probably meet him, talk with him for five minutes about random shit, and he'd be able to tell just about everything about you. I think this fact can sometimes get overlooked because (unlike other notable examples in fiction, such as Batman or Lex Luthor) his intellect isn't used alongside enhanced physical abilities or specilized combat training. But that's what makes this scene so powerful. While the "This is Trudy turning it back on" part does make me think that Monk didn't do it because Trudy didn't want him to, but I also think that he turned it back on because he couldn't intentionally let a man suffer. As much as he wanted this man to suffer (and was justified in that feeling), his consciousness wouldn't let him do this. That's why he looked so uncomfortable immediately afterwards. He's got a heart as big as his brain. An amazing show, with one of the greatest fictional characters of all time.

[@Jonathan83X]

While I agree with this, Monk is only terrifying to those whom he has a hatred for. For those Monk holds dear to his heart, he's actually a real softie. Episodes like when going undercover in the office, getting duped by Hal Tucker and even going to his college reunion shows Monk's deep longing for just wanting to be loved and accepted by others that he'll mention that stuff as a way to hopefully impress and connect with them. Also, I'll have to disagree with the last part. He only turned it back on because Monk knew Trudy wouldn't want him to do something cruel to her killer, even if it was justifiable. If he has a big heart, it's due to Trudy more than anything. She really made him a better man.

this, then the episode where it seems Monk is almost at peace until a Trudy impersonator dies and he's crushed all over again

[@Aakino]

"Leave us alone for a minute!" said Monk. Randy, Sharona, and Stottlemeyer began to walk out the door as per his request. Stottle Meyer opened the door, and stared at Monk for a long while before he left. Even as meek as Monk was in general, this was the man who killed Trudy...and in essence, killed the best part of Monk. The Captain almost thought it a bad idea. He knew what he would do in that situation. Begrudgingly, he did leave. If anyone deserved revenge, it was Adrian. He was never the same after seeing the charred remains of his wife in that underground parking lot. Monk walked beside Tennyson, a deep hatred behind his eyes. This was not an emotion Tennyson felt often, but he was immensely afraid. Even on Monk's face, he could see that he wanted to kill him. Tennyson was helpless. He knew what he deserved, and there was nothing he could do about it. "You were the husband?" Tennyson asked, a deathly hollow voice barely spilling out the words. "I'am the huband!" Monk corrected him. Before now, Tennyson had never seen someone that one of his bombs had affected. He knew this man would make him suffer. In one of the few moments of humanness in this monster's life, Tennyson spilled out the only words he could...even if they fell upon deaf ears. He had no right to ask what he was about to ask. "Forgive me." asked Tennyson, a bit of sadness in his voice pleading for a little bit of grace on his death bed. "Forgive you?" asked Adrian incredulously. How dare he, he wondered? How dare he ask for the mercy his beautiful wife never received. "This is me...turning off your morphine!" Adrian reached to the side, and with the simple push of a little green button on the machine keeping Tennyson alive, put him through the worst pain that monster could ever feel. Adrian would never admit this in his lifetime, but he felt good doing it. He thought of Trudy's last moments, and hoped that Warwick was feeling just a taste of what Hell would be like. Tennyson's eyes grew wide. After all he had done, the cancer wrecking his body was his just punishment for all the evil he had done in his life. He never imagined this small little man would do more damage to him in this moment than a lifetime of wrongdoing would do. Warwick never imagined his end would come like this. He struggled to breathe as the pain began to rush through his body as the morphine wore off. Every breath took all his strength. Keeping his eyes open was a struggle. He looked deep into Adrian's eyes, pleading with his gaze what his lips didn't have the strength to say. He couldn't ask for mercy. He did nothing in his life to earn any, especially now. All he could do was look into the face of the man who was going to give him a painful death while he laid helplessly in bed strapped to a bunch of wires. Monk turned away and held his face as he thought of Trudy. No matter how much satisfaction he himself was getting in that moment, he knew one thing: Trudy could NEVER love a man who could do this...not even to a man like Warrick Tennyson. Monk did not have the strength himself to stop his suffering. Monk waited many long years for this moment, deep in thought about how sweet it would be to get revenge for once in his life. He slowly pulled his hand away, tears in his eyes, and the man he once was rose to the surface through all the pain, all the phobias, and all the anxiety. It was the man he'd turned into when Trudy was in his life, a man he'd thought long died the day his wife did. "And this...is Trudy, the woman you killed, turning it back on." With nothing but the love for Trudy in his heart, Monk reached back up and touched the little green button again. As much as he hated giving undeserved grace to this monster, it really was what Trudy would've done. Monk knew, disgusted as he was, that this was the man that Trudy loved. For no other reason than to honor her memory and the person she was, Adrian let the morphine flow through Tennyson once again. A tear rolled down Tennyson's face, his only prayer in his life answered. He could feel the rush of the morphine killing his pain again. He said nothing as Monk turned and left his door. Tennyson had nothing but a lifetime of bad memories and his death to look forward too. But alas, he experienced one thing he'd never really had before... undeserved love.

They were there on police business, plus they had machines in place to inform them if anything critical happened to the patient so there were likely some of the hospital staff on standby just in case. Remember that the hospital staff left the patient alone with the police but it was the police, not the hospital staff, that agreed to leave the patient alone with Monk. Monk and his police buddies would've gotten into trouble if Monk actually went through with keeping the morphine off since they should've known not to leave the husband of the victim in the same room, unattended, with one of the guys responsible for his wife's murder.

@@Dharmon1 But at the beginning of that episode with Frank, it was Frank who was stealing the parts to make the bomb. I don't understand why he was stealing legal parts from a corner store, I guess they needed that opener.

Randomfully Wonderful that was to lure monk out

@@desmondkelly5178 True, I realized that when reading my old response, but then it goes back to Frank Nunn making the bomb.

[@Zak6009]

@@desmondkelly5178 Wasn't he still making a bomb anyway for the governor parade assassination?

[@MansMan42069]

Because I'm sure any legitimate hospital would allow anyone to fuck around with medical equipment.

[@Hotiechic101]

Ummm how are they allowed to talk to this man and have any of what he says legal in court. He is high on morphine and doesn’t have a lawyer present. Guess it’s just tv but this seems shady

[@NoBody-lj5xh]

It is shady. That's the point. They had to bribe the NYPD with freelance detective work to be there.

[@desmondkelly5178]

Wtf are u talking about lol

[@desmondkelly5178]

There is nothing going on involving the court. This is Monk getting information about how and why his wife Trudy was murdered.

[@desmondkelly5178]

LMAO I didnt even see my own comment til just now but wow. A year later and U still piss me off with ur stupidity.

[@Cherryponut]

I forgot how powerful this scene was.
