The Jurors and Sharona's Boyfriend
When a toll booth operator is killed in a weird way, Stottlemeyer calls Monk and Sharona to help him. Monk learns that this is ninth victim with unsolved murders and apparently none of them has anything in common with the others. Meanwhile Sharona's boyfriend Kenny Shale will run for the next mayor election, and she is fawned by every police officer. Soon a woman is murdered in a movie theater, becoming the tenth victim. Monk sees the same calendar from an insurance company on the photos of three victims and decides to stake out the owner that is returning from a travel. When the killer murders the man and Monk is not capable to stop him, he sees that all the victims were jurors in a trial. Randy Disher arrests the twelfth juror, Tommy Zimm, believing he is the serial-killer, and finds a frozen finger and photos of a frozen woman in his home. Kenny summons the press to use the moment for winning votes showing the suspect, but Monk tells Stottlemeyer that he solved the murder, and the captain decides to wait.
"Mr. Monk and the 12th Man" is a great episode of "Monk" despite the title song. It entwins comedy and crime as usual, but this time without the exaggerations that sometimes happen. The guy with a pipe in his head is certainly the funniest moment of the show. Sharona's reaction when she learns what Kenny thinks about her opinions is also hilarious. The reason why Stewart Babcock stars his crime spree is great. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Monk e a Décima Segunda Vítima" ("Monk and the Twelfth Victim")
