Monk Solves a Cult Case | Monk

[@Bitsy83]

Unbelievable. Here the wife thought that she was giving her husband proof of innocence when instead she was handing over the smoking gun… God I love the writing in this show

[@furtim1]

I think they were inspired by that Columbo episode wherein the suspect has a ticket with a camera photo as a last minute alibi, but it serves to incriminate him and his conspirator, because the lighting/shadows on his face are off compared to the other people (his coconspirator was wearing a mask of the suspect's face to give him an alibi). Monk took "inspiration" from several Columbo episodes.

[@hammertoesramirez6521]

One of the writers was Lee Goldberg. He has also written some books about Monk after the show ended.

[@Tenchifan123]

The culprit is actually going to need 2 lawyers. Murder...and divorce

[@rsq2010]

Agreed. However, I thought I heard the wife call her husband John at 0:32 even though his name is Tom Donovan and she later refers to him as Monk. With a show like Monk, you're almost trained to pick up on the little details and sometimes small continuity errors actually enhance the experience.

4:00 I love the silent acting while Monk is talking. Leland immediately cathes on to what Monk is getting at and takes the picture back to confirm it for himself. Natalie dosen't get it yet and gestures confused to Leland who then shows her the picture, then she gets it.

[@marlepeace9844]

Man really killed a chick, who trusted him enough to talk to him about her tragic cult past, just to hide an affair? A detail I like is not long after Monk mentions the seatbelt, you can see Stottlemeyer connect the dots even while the lady behind him was still catching up. That’s a man who is accustom to Monk’s “a-ha” moments. EDIT: The heartbroken look on the wife’s face as she looks at that seatbelt. Jesus, she’s got it rough. In one go, she found out her husband was cheating, murdered a chick, tried to frame an innocent man and paint himself as a hero all while she was passionately supporting him.

[@Account.for.Comment]

The majority of Monk' s case are came from affairs even his own wife death. Monk' s writers probably tired of coming with motives and put affairs as the cause of everything.

[@KyanneSummer]

@@Account.for.Comment affairs usually are the reasons many people kill, robberies as well. It is normal and realistic. Instead of weird deaths that never happen in other shows.

[@TheRealCodeBlack]

There's a lot of Monk bad guys who jump to murder and calculate elaborate means/coverups for doing so literally the moment they realize they have an opportunity to, and there's barely any sympathetic ones (offhand, the only ones I can think of offhand are the culprits in Red Headed Stranger and in Mr. Monk Adopts A Dog - and the latter only kind of). Several of the villains are pretty scary when you think about it.

[@godlyBlade]

@@TheRealCodeBlack TBF, that's mostly because Monk only gets brought in for the really hard cases. I assume all of the sympathetic cases are easily solved by the police without Monk off screen, since they weren't psychopaths who knew how to instantly cover their tracks and set up fake alibis.

Well, John Ross Bowie does have a slight speech impediment, a sibilance, but he has learned to control it, especially in rehearsed speech. Conversely, he exaggerates a derhotacization for comedic effect when playing Barry Kripke; he patterned it on the speech of the Bugs Bunny character Elmer Fudd.
