Ace Of Hearts Page #7

for at least a few hours, right?

[Sighs]

- Don't forget my evidence book.

- Got it.

- Bye.

- [Beeps]

[Grunts]

- [Screams]

- [Glass Shatters]

[Gasping]

What's up, man?

- [Whimpers]

- We seen the footage of you and that...

and the cop dog on TV, and all...

so we thought maybe

you wanted a rematch.

- [Yips]

- [Laughing]

Only this time it might be

a little more even.

That's funny.

[Chuckles]

Too bad I'm allergic.

Hey. What you got there?

- Nothin', man. It was a stupid joke.

- No, there.

In your jacket pocket.

Get out.

I said get out.

I told you I can't have

no thief up in my shop.

I told you that from the get-go.

- Don't expect no letter of recommendation.

- I don't need a thing from you.

Wow. Mmm. Hot bike.

Hey, man, get your hands

off my...

[Gagging]

[Groans]

[Grunts]

Hey, man, what... What are you doin'?

Real hot.

My bike!

No.!

Man!

[Sniffs]

Ugh.

[Sniffs]

[Sniffs]

Hi, Dad. It's me.

Call me as soon as you get this...

because I just checked out

Torko's house...

and you're never gonna believe it.

I found a bunch of stuff that will for sure

help you link him to the crime scenes.

Anyway, I'm just getting home now...

so please, please, please get here soon

so I can show you.

Okay, thanks, Dad. Bye.

Hey, you, I'm on my way

to Dickens, but I didn't get...

- [Julia On Cell Phone, Garbled]

- You're where? I can't hear you.

- This connection totally sucks.

- I said I'm home now.

- But guess what.

- [Kenny, Garbled] I must have missed you...

Because I was there five minutes ago

to get your evidence book...

but no one answered

the door or anything.

- Guess what I found inside his house.

- You went inside?

Links to the crime scene,

that's what...

alum powder, a glass cutter.

The glass cutter, I'll bet.

I've got tons of pictures

on my digital camera to show my dad.

I mean, it was totally creepy.

The guy probably folds his dirty laundry

in alphabetical order.

I can't hear you. I must be

in a bad cell area or something.

- Tell me what your dad says

when you show him everything.

- Okay.

- [Kenny, Garbled]

- What? You're breaking up.

Your dad... There was a motorcycle

parked alongside your house.

- What do you mean a motorcycle?

- [Garbled]

- Kenny.

- You're breaking up. Bye.

[Gasps]

- Oh!

- Sorry, honey.

Shh! He's here.

- Who?

- Torko.

- I think he's here in the house.

- Honey, I'm sure you're mistaken.

Mom, please.

Just trust me.

[Gasps]

- My cell phone's in my room.

- There's a phone here.

- [Beeping]

- It's dead.

[Gasps]

What are we gonna do?

[Grunts]

Funny.

- [Door Opens]

- Hmm?

[Screams]

Go, go, go!

[Both Scream]

I hear you like to take pictures of things

that don't belong to you.

- Say cheese.

- [Grunts]

[Screams]

Come on! Run, honey, run!

- [Coughing, Spitting]

- [Whimpering]

Damn it.! Come on.!

[Screams]

[Shouts]

- Aah!

- [Screams]

[Growling]

No.! Mom.! No.!

- [Screams]

- [Ace Whimpers]

- No!

- [Sobbing]

Oh, no. Ace.

[Whimpering]

- [Snarling]

- Aah!

Ace! Off, off. Off.

Freeze.! Police.

- [Groaning]

- [Handcuffs Snap]

- You okay?

- Yeah, we're okay.

- You all right?

- Dad, Ace is hurt.

- Ace.

- He's bleeding.

Okay. Take it easy.

Take it easy, boy.

It's okay, buddy.

- Call for help.

- Okay.

[Ace Whimpering]

Okay, buddy.

All right, buddy.

Okay.

It's longer than they said.

Way longer.

It's 23 minutes past how long

they said it would take.

Honey, we're all worried.

But... I was right though.

Wasn't I?

Ace was alive all along...

and he came back home to us.

- I always knew he would.

- [Door Opens]

Well, we had a few

bad moments back there.

The glass shard caused

his left lung to collapse...

and if we hadn't have gotten

that chest tube in there on time...

Anyway, his lung is already

re-expanding nicely...

and there were no

major vessel tears.

- Does that mean he's okay?

- Well, he'll need time to heal,

of course, but he'll be fine.

He's a strong dog.

- [Laughs]

- Wow.

Dad, maybe you and Ace

will be able...

to go to the K-9 national

competition this year.

- You'd only have 97 days to get ready, but...

- No.

You and Ace would only have

- Ninety-eight, if you count today.

- Me?

Yeah, well, somebody

has to handle him, right?

Excuse me, folks.

He'll be under for a while yet.

But you could come on back

if you want to see him.

Great.

Don't you want to go see him?

- Dad?

- The doctor said he's gonna

be just fine, sweetheart.

No. Just...

Thanks.

[Dan Whistles]

Come here, boy. Come here.

Come here. Come on, Ace.

That's my boy.

- [Barking]

- Ready? Go get it. Go get it.

Go get it, Ace.

Go get it.

Good boy. Good boy.

[Chuckles]

I was thinking.

Maybe we should

go away this weekend.

How would the entire K-9 unit

fit into our car?

[Chuckles]

No. Just you and me.

I'm sure they'll be fine

without me for a few days.

Anywhere you wanna go... Vancouver...

- Victoria, Tofino...

- Tahiti.

Tahiti? For the weekend?

Oh.

Tahiti works for me.

- Really?

- Definitely.

- I forgot about that.

- Mm-hmm.

- [Dan Chuckling]

- [Barking]

Good. Oh...

- [Julia] Got it.

- [Dan] Let's tell Julia.

- Julia.

- [Julia Laughs]

[Julia]

Ace, give it here. Give it to me.

- [Lily] Hey, Ace. Good boy.

- [Dan] Come here. Come here, boy. Come here.
