The Dog Lover Page #4

- No, the thing is...

- The DNA's a match.

- What?

All I need is one more piece of

evidence and I can get a warrant.

I don't think these

dogs are coming from them.

I think the sick ones are

coming from another farm.

It doesn't matter,

the DNA is a match.

- It's their dog.

- Okay, I understand that,

but they had dogs

stolen from them.

And when their dogs are sick,

they put them in quarantine.

What do you mean?

Okay, I got into the back kennel

and they had two

dogs with distemper.

What?

No, Daniel, he

quarantines them, look.

I need this.

He quarantines them, Jackie,

that's a good thing,

when they are sick.

That's fine, but I need this.

Send it to me now,

Dropbox, whatever.

Okay? I need this.

It's a really nice truck, Will.

If you ever change your mind,

the offer still stands, okay?

I appreciate that, Mr. Grant.

Bye, Will, we'll see you later.

Bye, Mrs. Grant.

Hey.

Who's that?

Jim Grant, just a guy that

owns a car shop in town.

Could I drive home, actually?

Uh...

I'll give you three stalls.

I am not gonna stall.

[truck stalls]

[Sara] No, stop, no, no, no,

I'm gonna get it, no.

- [Will] Do you want me to drive?

- No.

Hey, so I've been in touch with Jackie.

She says everything looks great.

What do you mean?

Uh, the evidence.

There isn't any evidence.

No, no, we're very confident.

We're almost there.

Cassie, no, I don't think that

you understand, this isn't...

I have to go,

I'll talk to you later.

Hey, sorry to interrupt.

No, it's okay, I was

just talking to my dad.

I just need your help.

Yeah, sure.

[Sara chuckling]

You did such a good job, Momma.

All the pups accounted for?

Yes, sir, six total.

Weighed and measured?

Yes!

[Liz] Awesome.

Good job.

Take it, bring it in,

bring it here.

Good boy!

Good boy, good boy.

Good boy! Good boy!

Hold it, off.

Ready, take it.

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Hey... are you up

for a little adventure?

Your family owns this?

Yeah, we used to own more,

but my dad's been selling off

some of it to make ends meet.

It's like a living,

breathing screen saver.

Yeah, this part,

this he will never sell.

Uh, so, I got a call

from my intern professor.

Yeah?

Yeah, uh, I might

have to go early.

They want me to cut it short.

Oh, yeah, that figures.

What are you looking at?

What, are you bored already,

city girl?

No, I just... I thought if

you're gonna make a move,

you should maybe hurry up.

Ssh-shh...

Look, look straight out.

You see that?

They're coming.

No, no, no, no, no.

Will, they're coming.

You can't move, you can't move.

- Don't move, keep your eyes open!

- Are you crazy?

So... What do you think?

I think you're pretty smooth,

Will Holloway.

Where are you going?

Outside to lock up.

I'll do it.

Be careful.

Easy, easy, good boy.

[screaming] Daddy!

Daddy! Daddy!

Baby, baby!

Are you okay, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Don't anybody touch it.

It could be rabid.

Where did it come from?

[Will] It's one

of the Tanners' dogs.

You all right, Dad?

[panting] Yeah.

Daddy!

Daniel! Honey!

What's up?

What the hell is this?

Will?

Who are these people?

[man] Daniel!

Sheriff, what is this all about?

Daniel Holloway, we have a

warrant to search your property.

- Go ahead.

- All right, let's go!

Wait, wait, wait, exactly

what am I being accused of?

- Inhumane treatment of animals.

- On what basis?

Did Jackie McConnell

put you up to this?

Bart, whatever she's got you

believing, it's all lies.

You just make sure

he stays out of my way.

- What's going on?

- Move him!

Sir, step aside.

We have a warrant.

What?

Goddammit, Bart,

you gotta stop them.

Daniel, I need you to be calm.

Come on, guys, get in there!

Let's go! Let's go!

What have we done?

According to the paper,

these dogs are unhealthy.

They are not unhealthy!

I am a vet, they are perfect...

Wait, what are they

doing with our dog, sir?

Those are my

personal house dogs.

They're gonna kill them

dragging them out of there.

Will, no, stop!

Warrant says we can take all

the dogs on the premises.

Put those dogs down!

Sir, I need you to

stay out of our way.

Listen, son, you are not a cop.

So don't even try to

tell me what to do.

- Dad, no!

- Christ, Daniel!

- Why'd you go and do that for?

- Get off of me!

Do not move!

[man] Slow down a bit...

Yeah, yeah, that looks great.

Turn it off.

What?

I don't understand.

Why are you guys here?

It's all thanks to

your footage, babe.

What? What are

you talking about?

Your video got us the warrant.

What?

Where's Abigail?

Where are they gonna bring them?

Don't worry, I'll

bring them home soon.

I gotta get you inside, honey.

Let's call our lawyer.

I think they're taking

the dogs to the fairgrounds.

- Well, how do you know?

- I overheard something.

I gotta go with my

mom to the sheriff's...

Can we just go there,

please, Will?

Maybe there's something

that we can do, please?

All right, just...

I gotta talk to my mom, okay?

- Daniel!

- What?

Promise me you're not

gonna do anything stupid.

Does getting my dogs

back qualify as stupid?

They seized your dogs legally.

It's a criminal investigation.

We can't do anything until

they're finished examining them.

Yeah, we'll see about that.

Yeah, we got 'em all.

Yeah, they're safe.

- You son of a b*tch!

- What...

- What is wrong with you?

- Are you crazy?

You doctored that

footage, Trevor.

That dog was attacking his daughter

and that's the only reason

he did what he

did and you know it.

Whoa, I don't

care why he did it.

You just took away

a family's livelihood.

A family that sells dogs like

they're product in a store.

No, they are a family that followed the

law and they cared for those dogs.

A family that sells hunting dogs

bred to stalk other animals!

- Whose side are you on?

- They didn't do anything wrong.

My goal is to stop

all animal slavery,

whatever it takes.

Hey, Ma, yeah, it's

just like Sara said,

they're at the fairgrounds.

Honey, it's Will, he says

they're at the fairgrounds.

All right, just tell

him we're on our way.

Okay, stay where you

are, we're on our way.

[Dan] I don't know how Jackie

McConnell ever got put in charge

of an organization

that cares for animals.

She doesn't know anything

about caring for animals.

Not a damn thing.

Don't try to turn

it around on me.

What, do you know

him or something?

No, I was just trying

to get information.

There's my dad. Come on.

They got them in there

in the livestock holding.

Livestock holding?

This is pathetic!

What is wrong with you people?

Hey! Hey, you

can't be in here!

Mr. Holloway, you need

to leave right now, sir.

- [Dan] No!

- Have it your way.

I have right to see what kind of environment

you people brought my dogs into.

They're getting better care

here than you ever gave them.

The hell they are!

You've got a dozen pups in here

without their immunizations

and they're being exposed to other

dogs in a place used for livestock!
