Natalie: Mr. Monk, what should I write? Mr. Monk, what should I write on the box?
Adrian Monk: Case closed.
Natalie: "Case closed", I like the sound of that. [writes] Oh, shoot! The "e" is crooked. Is that okay, or should I get another box? Mr. Monk? What are you reading?
Adrian Monk: Oh, um... "A midwife is still missing. Presumed dead." It's an old article about Wendy Straud. It's on the bottom of this section. "Miss Straud made headline 15 years ago, January 2, 1983, when she found a newborn infant girl on a playground and brought her to an local orphanage." 1983? Take care of her.
Natalie: Excuse me?
Adrian Monk: Rickover's last words. It wasn't the affair, Natalie. This is what he was covering up. It was the baby. It didn't die. The baby lived. Trudy didn't know. She never knew it. They lied to her. Her daughter lived. They put her up for adoption. She is alive and she's out there somewhere. [laughs] Trudy's daughter.
