Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk Is Underwater
Steven Albright: A silencer. Natalie: That would explain the gunpowder and the duct tape. Steven Albright: Who would use a silencer to kill himself? Natalie: Okay, Mr. Monk, what are you saying? Are you saying Commander Whitaker? Steven Albright: What about the locked door and the gunshot? Adrian Monk: I don't know how he did it. I don't know why. But he's the guy.
