Sharona and Monk are passing by a building, and they see Stottlemeyer and Randall investigating a crime scene and they learn that a young woman was thrown off her building during the San Francisco Marathon. The prime suspect, her salesman lover Trevor McDowell, has the perfect alibi since he was running the marathon, and every participant has a chip on the tennis shoes registering their time and movements. Monk is sure that McDowell is the killer, but how he did it.
"Mr. Monk and the Marathon Man" is a reasonable episode of "Monk", with excessive imbecilities of the lead character. He loses the passage of his hero due to his fixation with a wrong button of a viewer; he reaches the criminal but instead of getting the chip, he celebrates for reaching the guy. Sharona trying to cross the fence is also annoying. The writers exaggerated with the silliness in this episode. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Sr. Monk e o Maratonista" ("Mr. Monk and the Marathon Man")
