Captain Stottlemeyer: Hey, Monk, we've got the prelim on the explosive. We think 4 to 5 pounds of a high-density plastique, magnesium charge. It was detonated with an egg timer.
Adrian Monk: You mentioned a letter. Is that the letter?
Captain Stottlemeyer: Yeah, three pages taped to the back door. It's unsigned.
Lieutenant Disher: Yeah, it's your basic environmental laundry list. Solar power, fossil fuel, Saudi Arabia, it's the only planet we have.
Adrian Monk: "We are free men, unshackled by your barbarous laws." I know that phrase. I've heard that before. Unshackled, barbarous laws... Ten years ago, that exact same phrase was in a letter written by a guy named... Winston. No. Yes. Winston Brenner. Trudy wrote, wrote an article about him.
Captain Stottlemeyer: I remember that guy. He was a serious radical in Boston. He blew up a recruiting station, couple of soldiers got killed.
Lieutenant Disher: That's right. Well, it looks like he just came out of retirement.
Captain Stottlemeyer: Let's check him out.
