Today and yesterday in class we watched an episode of the TV show Monk which goes with our mystery unit in english class. Here is a synopsis of the episode;
"An old woman named Martha is found dead after being hit by a baseball being used by a young baseball league. There is nothing criminal about this but when Martha's family come to visit Martha's home they find a package which had been sent three days earlier. The package has been opened and inside is a voodoo doll with abaseball attatched to its head.
Inspector Monk, Natalee (Monk's secutary), Captain Stottlemeyer and Lieutenant Disher are soon at the death scene. When Monk, Stottlemeyer and Disher start joking about witch -doctors and voodoo Natalee rounds on them and insists that voodoo is real. While Natalee argues against Monk and Stottlemeyer, Disher receives a call and soon repeats it to the others. There has been another voodoo death.
The team are meated at the dead man's house by the police. The police hands Monk a newspaper about the incident of a golfer being struck by lightning and the article has a photo of a paramedic next to a stretcher. Inside the house is a voodoo doll with a lightning bolt coming out of its head. It was posted three days before the man's death. The case is becoming spooky and Natalee is becoming scared.
The next day Natalee comes barging into Monk's home with a suitcase and insists on Monk coming with her on a vacation. Monk asks her to call Captain Stottlemeyer to see if this is okay. Natalee picks up the phone and chats sweetly into the phone. When she finishes Monk notes that the phone Natalee just 'called' the captain on is unpluged and Natalee breaks down. She confesses that she was hust trying to get out of town and away from the case. Mr. Monk tries to calm her down but Natalee reveals that a third voodoo death has bee found."
I don't have much time for anything else so I will finish the story in a second post
