一位电视制片人有了根据蒙克在“蒙克先生和宇航员”中捕获史蒂夫瓦格纳的事件来制作电影的想法。他们聘请了著名演员大卫·拉斯金来扮演蒙克。然而，为了扮演蒙克的角色，拉斯金在他的角色中隐藏了几天，因为蒙克调查了一名年轻女子在她的公寓中遇害和一名当铺老板在抢劫中被枪杀的相关凶杀案。然而，当拉斯金对僧侣的角色有点过于投入时，事情就变得糟糕了。
A TV producer has gotten the idea of developing a movie based off of the events of Monk's capture of Steve Wagner in "Mr. Monk and the Astronaut." They have hired renowned actor David Ruskin to play Monk. However, to get into the role of Monk, Ruskin shadows his character for a couple of days as Monk investigates the linked homicides of a young woman killed in her apartment and a pawnshop owner shot dead during a robbery. However, things get bad when Ruskin gets a little too into the role of Monk.
