In most Monk episodes, the sanity of obsessive-compulsive detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) is a matter of debate. This time, however, it is Monk's police colleague Lt. Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford) who is suspected of temporary insanity. While under sedation in a dentist's chair, Disher sees--or thinks he sees--dentist Dr. Bloom (Jon Favreau) commit a murder. Unfortunately, no one believes Disher's story, not even his superior Captain Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine), and as result the lieutenant quits the force in disgust. Determined to prove that he was not hallucinating under the influence of anesthesia, Disher asks Monk (Tony Shalhoub). Before the story has reached its conclusion, Monk has uncovered a complex scheme involving stolen bank certificates--and has left himself wide open (or is it "open wide"?) for a painful dental demise right out of Marathon Man. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

An ambitious young drug dealer who is about to earn his stripes as a high-ranking general in Southern California's most powerful crime family finds his stratospheric rise suddenly challenged by the nation's top cop. In Orange County, the mere mention of the De La Cruz family is enough to chill the blood of even the most hardened criminal. Of course it takes quite a bit of muscle to gain such a formidable reputation, and within the De La Cruz family Bobby Leoni has risen through the ranks faster than anyone in recent memory. Having already redefined the local drug trade through his brutal brand of innovation, Leoni was well on his way to becoming the most powerful drug kingpin on the west coast when Federal Agent Boyer came knocking. Agent Boyer is the kind of cop who likes a good challenge, and who never backs down until he's got his man. Now, as the toughest men on both sides of the law prepare to clash in the ultimate battle of cop versus criminal, the only thing that's certain is that only one of these men will emerge from the hail of gunfire alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
