Jason Gray-Stanford: Randall Disher

Quotes 

• [Monk, Natalie, Stottlemeyer and Disher arrive at Cassie Drake's house to check out Monk's suspicions on Joseph Mood, as Monk complains about the messiness of "Honest" Jake's repairs] 

  Adrian Monk : You should've warned me.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : I did.

  Adrian Monk : Well, why didn't you tie me down and shoot me in the leg? What's the good of having a gun if you don't shoot your friend in the leg when he's about to buy an old house?

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Next time I will. I promise.

  [They come up to the door. Stottlemeyer knocks on the door. With no response, he knocks a Morse code message, presumably in Morse code. He and Disher exchange laughs. Randy in turn taps another message back to Stottlemeyer] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Hey did you ever hear about the...?

  [taps another message back to Randy. They burst out laughing] 

  Natalie Teeger : That's not the way I heard it. My husband was in the Navy. Remember?

  [Stottlemeyer knocks on the door with a different code] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Miss Drake!

  [He pulls on the door, which is unlocked. Cautiously and fearing something bad, he pulls open the door. They see the stabbed body of Cassie Drake on the floor] 

  Natalie Teeger : Oh my God!

  [Stottlemeyer and Disher head inside while Monk and Natalie stay back] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : Stay there.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Phone it in!

  [Cuts to a police officer stretching crime scene tape across the patio as the medical examiner's van comes to a stop by the police cars. Inside the house, CSI techs take photos of the body as Monk and Natalie stand by] 

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Still no murder weapon. Doc says knitting needle. So what do you think? He was tossing the place when she walked in on him?

  Adrian Monk : I-I don't think so. Look at the drawers. They were pulled out and flipped over, but everything's just piled up. He didn't really rifle through them. He was here for her.

  [Disher comes out of another room carrying a bag] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : Captain. I, uh, found this in her closet.

  [holds the bag up] 

  Lt. Randall Disher : $4,000 grand, all $20s and $50s.

  Natalie Teeger : Gee, I should've gone to nursing school.

  [Monk examines the bills closely] 

  Adrian Monk : 1967, 1966.

  [pause] 

  Adrian Monk : These are 40 years old. Some of the serial numbers are sequential.

  Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : I'll call Treasury. Maybe they can trace it. Wanna come with?

  Adrian Monk : Nah, I should probably go home, assuming it's still there.
