One day, a mysterious woman in the street grabs Monk’s attention. Monk has never met the woman before but she seems strangely familiar and he feels compelled to chase her for two blocks before losing track of her. The encounter so haunts Monk that he can’t sleep for days. Growing desperate, Monk takes Natalie’s advice and decides to go for a late night walk, during which he sees the mystery woman again, and this time she's driving a taxicab. Monk tries to stop her but she eludes him once again. Then, Monk hears angry voices coming from an alley. He follows the noise to a restaurant window where he sees an apparent drug bust going down, with an undercover cop shot by a drug dealer! Monk rushes to a pay phone and reports the crime but by the time Stottlemeyer and the police arrive on the scene, there is no body, no blood and no sign of a struggle...

A fun-loving everyman named Hal (Guest Star Andy Richter) bumps into Monk, and the two become fast friends. For the first time in his life, Monk appears to have a buddy. But is Hal up to something?

A former friend of Mitch's dies in a locked room aboard a submarine and everyone cries suicide. When Monk and the crew investigate, the ship suddenly descends and Monk finds himself trapped on-board, underwater. Casper Van Dien guest stars.
