Quote from Captain Stottlemeyer in Mr. Monk Is on the Run (Part Two)
Natalie: What's he doing in Nevada? Captain Stottlemeyer: He's supposed to be avoiding attention, staying off the radar. Natalie: He's all alone? Captain Stottlemeyer: Natalie, you can't tell anybody. You can't tell Randy. You can't even tell Julie. Natalie: Randy doesn't know? Captain Stottlemeyer: No. I'm trying to protect him. Natalie: From what? Captain Stottlemeyer: I'm not sure. There's something going on here. That Sheriff Rollins, he framed Monk for shooting the six-fingered man. You were there. They were gonna send Monk away forever. And it's not just Rollins. Rollins is working for somebody. Maybe somebody in the governor's office. Natalie: My God. Captain Stottlemeyer: It might go higher than that, I'm not sure. I'm still working on it. I just need a little more time. Natalie: I have to see him. Captain Stottlemeyer: Natalie, no. Leave him alone. He's safe where he is. You have to promise me you're not gonna do anything. Promise me. Natalie: Okay. Okay, I promise.
