Captain Stottlemeyer: Thank you for coming. I have to tell you, right off the bat, that this is not an officially sanctioned task force. So nobody is gonna get paid any overtime.
First Detective: We're not here for the money, Captain.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I appreciate that. I'm sure Monk does too. All right, this is our target: Joey Kazarinsky.
Lieutenant Disher: A.k.a, Joey Kaz, or Joey K.
Captain Stottlemeyer: We think that Kazarinsky shot Dr. Nash last Friday and that he poisoned Adrian Monk.
Second Detective: What's the connection?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Monk was working the Nash case. Other than that, we don't know. Now, we're gonna split up into groups. Half of you are gonna work with Randy on the shooting. [Randy raises his hand] They know who you are, Randy. I want to know everything there is to know about Nash. Who he was, who loved him, more importantly, who didn't love him. The rest of us are gonna find Kazarisnky. We're gonna turn over every rock in North California. Now, this guy is dangerous, he is armed, he might be carrying chemical agents. Be careful, but, and this is very important, no guns. You get a lead, you phone it in. You keep your gun in your belt. He must be taken alive. If he dies, Monk dies. Understood? Good day. Let's go.
