Captain Stottlemeyer: On December 10, 1998, the day that they buried the time capsule, you were driving a rental car, weren't you?
Dennis Gammill: Mm-hmm.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I think that's strange. You driving a rental car in your own town.
Dennis Gammill: Oh, well, it was a special occasion. I wanted to arrive in something nice. What's this about?
Captain Stottlemeyer: It's about Darren Leveroni. Do you remember him?
Dennis Gammill: Oh. Oh, yeah. Of course I do.
Adrian Monk: Your car, the one you didn't drive that day, was it a sky-blue Oldsmobile Cutlass sedan?
Dennis Gammill: Oh. Well, that was a long time ago. Uh, I think so.
Captain Stottlemeyer: A witness saw a blue Oldsmobile leaving the scene of the hit-and-run. Now, I remember. I requested a list of registered owners from the D.M.V. That list came through your office, but your name wasn't on it.
Adrian Monk: Can you explain that, sir?
Dennis Gammill: I don't know. Oversight? Clerical error?
Adrian Monk: Where is that car today, Mr. Gammill?
Dennis Gammill: It was stolen. I reported it.
Adrian Monk: Pretty convenient.
Captain Stottlemeyer: A short time later you joined Alcoholics Anonymous, didn't you?
Dennis Gammill: Oh, I can't believe this!
Captain Stottlemeyer: I can't believe it either. I can't believe I missed it.
Dennis Gammill: Do you have a warrant?
Captain Stottlemeyer: No.
Dennis Gammill: I didn't think so. You can't prove any of this, can you? I'm not sayin' another word. Here. It's my lawyer. Talk to him.
