I love their acting Stottlemeyer really had shaking in his voice on the verge of tears asking his friend to use the braclet knowing how much it meant to Monk.

I love how, in the middle of a life-threatening situation, they are still so intrigued by Monk's "Here's what happened" that they stop trying to rescue themselves and pull up chairs to listen with rapt attention.

At this point it was a coping mechanism because they thought they were gonna die.

Here's what happened : stottlemeyer found they can transmit a message on Digital moving sign "help..... Trapped in vault .... Call 911 " but nobody was outside of the bank but Randy knew the silver man was performing outside of the bank and always watching so he transmitted a message to get help and they were rescued.

At least Monk barely argued with Stottlemeyer about using Trudy’s bracelet.😢 Them being locked in a vault would certainly be a terrible way to go.😥

It’s astonishing how quickly Randy’s animosity with the “living statue” came into being.

Honestly it's easier than it sounds. After 5 minutes your fingers will hurt and even if they all take turns it would still take hours to crack not accounting for dehydration, hunger and fatigue. Using the chair leg to pry the lock or the panel would be better than brute forcing the combination.

The lock has four dials, each dial is numbered 0-9 meaning 10 options per dial. That's 10000 combinations. It takes 1-2 seconds to slide each number and try so it would take maybe 3-6 hours assuming you're very methodical. On the other hand I refuse to believe the captains gun couldn't shoot and break a tiny padlock like that off. Especially if he went for multiple shots. Would actually like to see a mythbusters-style recreation to see if a diamond bracelet can in fact cut through metal like that.

Given that they prominently featured that outdoor electronic sign in two separate shots, is it wise to assume that the device behind the locked panel controls it? If so, why on earth would anyone (other than a television screenwriter trying to save Monk) install it in the safe?

I've seen stranger electrical installations. It's possible that the building wasn't always a bank and they repurposed a back room to be the vault. Added some reinforcements to the walls but kept the wiring the same.

There's no way a bracelet would have the tensile strength to be used as a saw to cut through a lock. The band would snap.

Oh come on, you cut off the part where Randy curses out the statue electronically!

If LockPickingLawyer was there, he'd have cracked that padlock under 1minute, either by shimming it or with notch decoder :)

That kind of lock is extremely easy to open in under a minute even for a one-armed blindfolded cripple as long as you know a trick to it. And even if you don't, it would still be easier to brute force the combination (4 symbols would take 2 hours at most) than filing down the handle. Wish they'd use a key based lock instead of a combination one.

If by "most guilty" you mean who would get the harsher sentence, it would be the guy who turned off the air. He shuts the air off and claims that it gives them 9 to 10 hours. If anyone dies, he's most likely looking at 1st degree murder and will be sentenced to life in prison or the death sentence. The person locking them in could be charged false imprisonment on top of all the other charges. This is all on top of the federal bank robbing and other stuff.

I agree that turning off the air would make the guy the most guilty. Although, all of them would likely be tried for murder to at least some extent. It would depend on the jurisdiction, as well as the prosecutor.
