Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : You remember that convention I went to in Atlanta about four years ago? Well, something happened there that I didn't tell you about. I got to the airport, I hailed a cab. Monk, I recognized the driver. It was Harold Burnshaw.
Adrian Monk : Burnshaw?
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Burnshaw, he used to be a Fed. He was a real player. He used to head the F.B.I.'s field office in Atlanta, right up until the 1996 Olympic Games.
Adrian Monk : The Plaza bombing?
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Exactly. They accused the wrong guy, Burnshaw booted it big-time on national television, instant career-killer. Now he's driving a cab. Monk, you should have seen his face. I'll never forget it.
Adrian Monk : What does this have to do with...?
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Twenty years ago, Sonny Chow froze some of his own blood in the event that he needed surgery. So they've got bulletproof DNA for a comparison, and that's a prelim on the hair we found at the crime scene.
Adrian Monk : [reads] It's a match.
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : It's Sonny Chow's hair. No question about it. He's been dead for six years, and he's my primary suspect.
Adrian Monk : Yeah...
Captain Leland Stottlemeyer : Now if I go public with this, and I'm wrong, *I'm* gonna end up at the airport, picking up cops who still have jobs.
