Ep 10. Whose Monkey is it Anyway?

Whose Monkey is it Anyway? is the tenth episode of the eleventh season of the television series Law & Order. The episode begins with the homicide detectives investigating the murder of a woman in a park. The investigation leads the detectives to a group of animal rights activists who had been protesting against a circus that used animals in its shows.

While conducting interviews with the animal rights activists, the detectives learn that the circus had a monkey in its possession. The monkey was being used as entertainment for the children who visited the circus. The detectives decide to investigate the whereabouts of the monkey and find out whether it was involved in the murder.

As they delve deeper into the investigation, the detectives find out that the monkey was stolen from the circus by an animal rights activist. However, they are unable to locate the monkey or the activist who stole it. The detectives begin to suspect that the monkey may have been used in the murder and that the activist who stole it may be the culprit.

As the investigation continues, the detectives discover several leads that point them in different directions. One lead takes them back to the circus where they interview the owner and the animal trainer. The detectives learn that the monkey was trained to pick pockets and steal from the audience during the shows. They suspect that the monkey may have picked the pocket of the murderer, thereby providing a motive for the murder.

Another lead takes the detectives to the home of the animal rights activist who stole the monkey. The detectives discover that the activist had a history of mental illness and had been prescribed medication for it. They suspect that the activist may have stopped taking the medication, leading to a psychotic episode that resulted in the murder.

As the detectives struggle to connect the different leads, they are confronted with a new twist in the case. They discover that the monkey was not stolen by an animal rights activist, but rather by a group of teenagers who used the monkey to steal from the circus. The detectives track down the teenagers and bring them in for questioning.

In the end, the detectives are able to connect all the pieces of the puzzle and solve the murder. They discover that the murderer was someone who had been associated with the circus and had a grudge against the victim. The monkey turned out to be an important clue in the case as it had witnessed the murderer leaving the scene of the crime. The detectives were able to use the monkey's testimony to solve the case and bring the murderer to justice.
