-Where's your school?

-I don't have school. It's summer.

Guess I'll take you to my work.

I get to deliver the mail!

Great.

At least tell me where he's going.

There's no harm in that, I guess.

He's going to an FBI sled dog

training facility in Alaska.

Watch yourself up there.

Okay, boy?

Come on, get in.

I'll take those.

Don't worry, Murdoch, okay? He'll be fine.

Yeah, he better be.

Message from Sonny:

"Play dead."

The dog is in the third van.

Remember, you're not supposed to be

in the truck.

It's against regulations.

So just stay low and make yourself useful.

Divide those stacks of letters

into odd and even numbers.

-Okay.

-Thanks, pal.

Pull alongside.

I'll whack the driver, then the dog.

Gotcha. Whoa!

When it's safe.

Ease up alongside.

Get the dog!

Drive the car!

Hey, buddy, I'll be right back.

Don't go anywhere.

Hi.

How you doing back there?

Gordon, is this your dog?

No, that's your dog.

Mine?

Yeah, I gave him to you, remember?

Cool. What's his name?

Spot. The dog's name's Spot.

Spot?

Yo, Cleavis! What's up, brother?

Oh, man!

James!

James!

James, come here.

You okay? Any broken bones?

-I'm fine.

-Good!

-Whose dog is that?

-That's my dog.

Your dog?

-Don't lie to me!

-I'm not.

It's my dog, Spot. You gave him to me.

I did not give you a dog.

What?

Hey, Stephanie.

I've been leaving you messages all night.

I know. Is James okay?

Yeah, the kid's fine. Everything's cool.

I can't believe this. I shouldn't

have left him. I have to get back.

So you'll be here in two hours?

No, I'm not.

There's been some freak blizzard.

The flights are canceled...

...roads are closed,

even cell phones don't work.

People are going insane.

Everyone, back off!

I don't think you can handle this.

I'm coming. Somehow, I'm coming.

What do you mean I can't handle

something like this?

You think I'm irresponsible.

Well, for your information,

I'm a very responsible guy.

I'm going to call Beverly

and see if she can take James.

Well, go ahead and do that.

That's probably a good idea.

But if you need me, I'm here.

Can I talk to James, please?

Yeah, sure. Hold on.

Listen...

...don't tell her about this. It's guy stuff.

Don't mention the accident...

...and don't say anything about the D-O-G.

Hi, Mom. Gordon got me a dog.

I know, I saw him before I left.

His name is Spot. Can I keep him?

Yeah, you sure can.

Wow! Thanks, Mom!

I wonder, is Agent 1 1 all right up there?

We've never been apart.

I feel like a part of me is missing.

Cassavettes.

What do you mean,

he jumped out of the van? Which van?

No problem. That wasn't our dog.

That was a decoy.

Let the local dogcatcher handle it.

Check on him.

Murdoch, he's fine. It wasn't him.

FBI substation, Nome.

Danvers...

...this is the Tiger.

Hi, Murdoch. How you doing?

Don't use my real name, man.

I don't know if this line is secure.

Sorry.

What's up, Tigger?

It's Tiger, and has the package arrived?

He's here, yeah.

Are you sure this is an FBI dog?

He doesn't look like much.

Listen, 1 1 is the top canine agent

in America...

...and probably the world. He is a killer.

Okay.

That didn't impress you all? Okay.

Yeah! Look at that!

What?

See? You're in trouble now.

There comes my boy right there.

My boy's always got my back.

Hold on right there. Hold on!

-Benny, what's going down?

-Just on my 15-minute break.

-But I don't back down.

-They calling you out?

-You got my back?

-Let's get disgruntled.

Okay. I'll give you that.

I give you that. What else you got?

Little something I call

"The George Jefferson."

Yeah, that's it!

-Call Weezie!

-Weezie!

Put the mail in the box!

E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial.

-Make him phone home!

-Phone home.

-Make him phone home!

-Phone home!

There you go! Break it down!

Grab them! Get dizzy on them!

-Don't get dizzy, make them dizzy!

-Air Gordon, baby!

You know what?

This is how I shut the club down.

Yeah, you want some of this?

You see the expression on that dog's face?

It wasn't a scowl.

It was more like a smirk.

It was like he was smirking at us.

Yeah, well, I can't even believe that

I'm doing this.

What?

Give me the good news.

Listen, that skirt

from the Witness Protection Program...

...she gave us some bad information.

So we kind of...

...followed the wrong dog.

But don't worry,

because we got it all figured out.

We know where her mistake was.

We'll have the dog by the morning.

I know you all my life.

We grew up on the same block.

Your mother changed my diapers.

Your sister's married to my goombah...

...and I'll personally shove you

headfirst into an incinerator...

...and burn you to a crisp...

...if you screw this up!

This is good. You ought to have some

of this with the tomato.

Oh, boy. If this ever gets out....

Hey, you didn't say nothing to nobody,

did you?

No!

Well, I told Paulie.

You told Paulie?

He's a gossip.

I had to. I was supposed

to do that thing in Atlanta.

-He promised he'll keep his mouth shut.

-Yeah, right.

Let's go to the dog pound.

Big mouth!

Nobody will know nothing.

Charlie the Clip from Jersey.

-Gino--

-Shut up!

Vinny Bash from Brooklyn. Eddie Sharp.

Oh, Joey BB Eyes!

I don't want to leave him here.

You don't want a dog. Trust me.

I want Spot.

This dog isn't Spot, it....

This dog doesn't even

have one spot on him.

Doesn't matter. It's just a name.

Come on. You don't want a dog.

Dogs stink!

You gotta feed and walk and clean them.

They poop everywhere. Even in your bed.

James, I'm a mailman. Mailmen hate dogs.

I won't have a dog in my house. I'm sorry.

It'll never happen.

What will happen to him?

-What's he doing?

-I don't know.

The dog's weird.

Know what, dog?

You're giving me the creeps.

What's wrong with him?

I got it!

We'll play catch, okay?

Okay, catch the ball.

Let's try that again.

Watch the ball.

Are you serious?

What's wrong with you?

Why don't you play?

No play.

No.

Do you hear me, Agent 1 1? No.

Bad agent. We don't do that. No.

Hello!

Is anybody home?

Okay, look...

...l'm gonna do

what you're supposed to do.

Check it out. I'll take your collar...

...and I'm gonna be a dog.

As a matter of fact, I'm gonna be you.

A big, stupid dog.

Look.

I can sit.

I can lay down.

Well, I can't scratch my head,

but Benny probably could.

I can lick my...

...paw.

Watch me, I can chase my tail.

I'm chasing my tail.

He's so weird.

Oh, God.

I don't know what to tell you, James.

You're not trying hard enough.

Are you kidding?

I mean, come on...

...the dog doesn't want to play.

Dog's broken.

You didn't try hard enough.

I'm about to throw up!

I didn't try hard enough.

It's not my fault this dog is broke!

Maybe when your mom gets back...

...she can get you a dog

that actually works!

Why don't you watch TV or something?

Keep it on cartoons.

Don't try to get smart.

Thank you.

Now quietly entertain yourself.

Yeah, this'll do.

Look, Brain! I made a round bird.

Gotta get this stupid dog collar
