Quote from Adrian Monk in Mr. Monk and the Other Woman

Adrian Monk: We were in the file room yesterday. You see the little tabs at the top? Some are on the left, some on the right, some in the middle. Mr. Pratt had a system. When he put files away, he alternated them left, right, middle so they'd be easier to read. And they were all arranged like that, except for this one. It's a middle, and it was right behind another middle. We all assumed that the killer broke in here to burn a file or to steal a file, but we were wrong. The killer broke in to add a file. Here's what happened. Your uncle was dying, and you knew you'd been cut out of the will. So you wrote up a phony will, where you inherited everything. And, of course, you had to kill Lou Pratt. He was your uncle's attorney, and he would've spotted the forgery. And after you killed him and his assistant, you put the phony will in the file, but you couldn't just stop there. The cops would've wondered, "Why was Lou Pratt murdered?" And they would've gone through every one of his files, and eventually they would have found your phony will. So you had to send them down the wrong road, and any wrong road would do. You picked a file at random, and you burned it. And it worked. Everybody was concentrating on Grayson and Monica Waters and the disputed garage. But when you overheard me at the funeral, you got scared. Because you knew I was having serious doubts about Grayson. So you killed him to push us even further down that wrong road. [Todd tries to run out of the room but winds up in front of two uniformed officers and a dog] I forgot to mention we brought Mr. Grayson's dog with us. It looks like he remembers you.
