Adrian Monk: There you are. Where have you been?
Natalie: I've been thinking I solved the case.
Adrian Monk: What case?
Natalie: I know who killed Callie Esterhaus. It was John Hannigan, the critic.
Adrian Monk: Oh, Natalie.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Look, Natalie, we know you're upset about that review, but you can't go around accusing the man of murder.
Natalie: No, I know that he did it. I went to his office. He's wearing the same cologne. The cologne that we smelled in that hotel room.
Lieutenant Disher: The cologne you smelled.
Natalie: Plus, he's a "J" for John. Plus, they probably knew each other. She worked at Winberries. That's his favorite restaurant. He eats there every day.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Okay. Okay. First of all, Callie Esterhaus died at 8:35, which was during Julie's show.
Adrian Monk: Hannigan was in his seat all night. We saw him.
Natalie: No, he snuck out during the show. The hotel is right down the street. He killed her then snuck back in.
Adrian Monk: Natalie, we were there. You kept looking up at him. He never left his seat.
Lieutenant Disher: You've got to admit, it's a pretty good alibi. Sold-out theater, including Monk.
Natalie: He did it. I don't know how, but he did it.
Lieutenant Disher: That's what he always says.
