Plot summary
The police find themselves dealing with a pair of seemingly unrelated homicides: a woman in SHL found dead of a head injury in her own apartment, and the shooting death of a pawnbroker during a robbery at his shop. The investigation is complicated by the presence of a renowned actor ( Stanley Tucci ) who is to portray Monk in a TV movie adaptation of one of his past cases – and who has a habit of losing himself in his roles as he prepares for them. Cameo appearance by Peter Weller.
