Natalie: I'm not quitting.
Adrian Monk: Natalie, look. We- We- We don't know who this guy is. We don't know what's going on.
Natalie: Then figure it out, Mr. Brilliant Detective, figure it out, because I'm not quitting. I can't quit.
Adrian Monk: Of course you can! [notices picture of Mitch] I see. You can't quit because Mitch was a hero.
Natalie: You don't understand. I can't quit because Mitch wasn't a hero. Close the door. What I'm about to tell you dies with you. Do you understand?
Adrian Monk: Okay.
Natalie: My husband and two crewmembers were shot down over Kosovo in 1998. They crash-landed behind enemy lines. Mitch didn't make it out. But they rescued the other crewmembers. And when they got back, they said They said he panicked. They said that after the crash, he ran off with the radio and all their supplies. They said he was a coward.
Adrian Monk: Oh, my God.
Natalie: And the Navy can't prove their version of the story, but it's in the record. It's in a file somewhere.
Adrian Monk: Natalie.
Natalie: I don't know what the real story is. But all I know is some day, Julie is going to start asking questions about her father. He's not here. But I'm here. I'm all she has. I can't be a coward, too.
