Monk

Yesterday in class, we watched a TV show called Monk. The reason we watched Monk is because we have a Mystery unit and also because we have to see if there are any elements of a mystery in it. In this episode of Monk, there was a baseball match (or was it practice?) and one of the baseball players named Petey hit the baseball which went flying up in the air (it's out of the park!) and over the baseball arena. The coach told Petey to get the baseball but when he was there, there was a cadaver (hands shaking) of an old lady named Mrs Murphy. You may think that's the crime but it actually isn't. And then a couple went to Mrs Murphy's house and they found a voodoo doll of her. A week later, the same thing happpened to Ralph Ferris because he got shocked by lightning and then a voodoo doll was sent to him. And then paramedic Angelines uncle died and there was a voodoo doll. She was weeping about her own uncle and she brought in good luck charms but Monk noticed that a horse shoe decoration was upside down (because the horse shoe acts as a bowl which holds good luck but since it's upside down, it pours the good luck out). Now that's the crime! It's up to Adrian Monk to find out who was the killer of Angeline's uncle. But his assistant, Natalie received a voodoo doll and she was scared! Monk tries to tell her that it's all fake. Still, she was still frightened. Anyways, their first suspect was the shopkeeper of this freak shop (which has voodoo dolls in it) but he said he didn't do it. Later, Natalie was still scared so the shopkeeper comes in and tries to check what's wrong. He said that she's cursed and he'll take it out. So he puts all these disgusting ingredients all together in a bowl and then Natalie started drinking it! The shopkeeper said that it's supposed to be for her neck because the curse was to chop her head off. Monk calls 911 and then the ambulance arrived. Then Angeline (she was a paramedic, remember?) and some other guy carried Natalie into the Ambulance. Then Monk finds out that Angeline was actually the killer and the voodoo dolls were red herrings and then he goes out to chase her with the shopkeeper. And then he catches her. So, yeah, the episode has a surprise ending.
