Troy Kroger: Mr. Monk, try- Mr. Monk, try not to think about where we are. Concentrate on something else. You solved the case, right? You said you solved the case? [Monk nods] Well, talk to me about it. Yeah, tell me about the case. There was a bank robbery.
Adrian Monk: It was a- It was an inside job. The branch manager, Connelly, must have masterminded the whole thing. It was him, Tony Gammalobo, and Connelly's brother, Jack. He made sure they beat him up, so nobody would suspect him. Then it went wrong. Connolly's brother was shot. Must have died a few hours later, so Connelly had a problem. He had to get rid of the body. If the cops found it, they'd identify him. They'd know it was his brother and they'd know it was an inside job. This wasn't a treasure map. This was where Connelly wanted his brother buried.
Troy Kroger: But there was money, $5,000.
Adrian Monk: Connelly put that money there later. He wanted you to find it. He didn't have time to dig up his brother. He made a big X and buried a few bucks. He figured if you found any amount of money, you'd be satisfied. You'd stop looking around and just go home.
Troy Kroger: So what do we do now?
Adrian Monk: I don't know about you, but I plan on suffocating. [wails]
