I'm, I'm starting to like you.

And if we go on a walk,

I'm just going to like you even more.

And then, one day,

we might even end up in love,

and everything will go along fine,

for a while, but,

but then, one day, bang, you're gonna

call me a selfish, compulsive bastard.

And you're going to pull your hair out,

and you're gonna scream,

and you're gonna say

you never want to see me again,

because I drive you crazy.

And I'm left shattered.

Now who needs that? Good night.

Hooch!

What time do you want to tackle

that hallway tomorrow night?

'Bout 7:
00?

Okay, boy. Guess what?

[Moaning]

No!

[Yelling]

This is why man will prevail, and

your kind will never dominate the earth.

This is what you can do

if you've got thumbs!

[Barking]

Huh? Move around.

Move around. I don't care.

There you go.

[Laughing]

Oh, what a ferocious dog!

- Get your armpits here.

Get your undercarriage.

- [Groaning]

[Groans]

[Sighs, Sniffs]

If I leave you in the car,

you're just gonna eat the rest of it.

Come on.

- [Barking]

- [Woman] Oh!

Turner, what the hell is that?

- Come here.

- You can't bring a dog in here.

Uh, can you,

uh, lift up this desk?

- [Panting]

- [Groans]

Something different about you.

I like to think so, yeah.

Oh, I know what it is.

No tie.

This is the first time

since I've known you that

you haven't worn a tie on the job.

- Turner?

- Yeah?

- The dog's in the window sill.

- Oh. Hooch, get down from there.

Well, what can I do, Katie?

- [Tyres Squealing]

- [Barking]

[Growling, Barking]

- Damn!

- [Dave] Ever see that guy before?

No! I can't see his plates.

I don't have my glasses.

- [Tyres Screech]

- Hold it! Police officers.

We need your car.

Hi, Ernie. Come on,

Buckle your seat belt.

- Buckle my seat belt?

- Buckle the seat belt!

I can't find my seat belt!

- [Tyres Squealing]

- [Scott] We gotta stop and get Hooch!

[Scott] Come on, boy! Come on, Hooch.

Get in the car. Get in the car.

In here. Good boy. Good boy.

Come on, Hooch. Watch his tail.

[Ernie]

My mom is gonna kill me.

She told me not to take this

thing over 40. It's brand-new.

- She's gonna kill me. I'm dead.

- Calm down, Ernie.

Gotta do this to break it in.

- Your mom will thank you for it.

- Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.

- He's stepping on my mom's groceries!

- Slap him across the face. He'll stop.

Ugh! Ugh!

- [Scott] All right. What is that?

- [Dave] It's a black Cadillac.

What is the licence plate?

I can see the car.

Uh, wait. P-K-I. P-K-I.

- Okay, P-K-l...

- No. "B."

- No. It's P-K-I.

- It's a "B."

- B-K-I.

- Shut up!

- Shut up, Ernie!

- P-K-I.

- P-K-I.

- R-K-l-5-4-7.

- R-K-l-5-4-7.

- All right, that's right. R-K-l-5-4-7.

- Romeo, Kilo, India, 5-4-7.

All right, hang on, hang on.

He saw us! He saw us! Come on!

Come on, come on, come on.

- Which way? Which way?

- I think he went right.

- Right, right! I'm sure it's right.

- Well, don't guess!

It's right, okay?

Go right! Right!

Highway Patrol hears about that,

I'm out of a job before I even start!

Hey, Turner, don't worry about it.

It'll be our little secret.

What's the matter with your mom?

She can't get a car with some muscle?

Well! You boys really

livened up the reception.

The bride burst into tears

and swore...

she was gonna have nightmares the rest

of her life because of that dog.

Fortunately Boyett thought you

were trying to capture the beast.

The mayor did too. I, of course, did not

tell them it was your runaway pet...

that had now become

the station mascot.

Don't raise your voice

around him like that.

- You'll just set him off again.

- Aw, come on.

- He's chained to a radiator.

- That doesn't matter.

Zack Gregory is a former Marine

with three arrests on his record:

Assault with a deadly weapon,

transportation of unregistered

firearms, and extortion.

No convictions. Monterey P.D. Says that

address and phone number were false.

- Well, who is he?

- The guy Hooch was just chasing...

- The man he saw kill Amos Reed.

- [Fart]

- You're kidding. Think this is the guy?

- Yeah.

[Sniffing]

- What?

- Gee.

- [Sighs]

- [Sniffs]

- Congratulations. You broke the case.

- Well, we don't have him yet.

Yeah.

There's, uh, no motive, Howard.

Amos wasn't killed in a robbery

or a pattern crime, or in a fight.

- [Sniffs]

- We think maybe he was killed

to cover something up.

- [Coughs]

- This, uh...

This Zack guy is employed

by Boyett Seafood.

Now, Amos was always complaining about

strange noises down there at night.

- Like something illegal was going on.

- Hmm. Katie, could you...

swing the door open, please?

We're gonna need some air in here.

Amos complained

about everything, Turner.

Yeah, and now he's dead, Howard.

I think we need to assume

that he was right.

Now consider it.

It's an isolated spot down there.

There's fishing boats coming in

and going out all the time.

Now somebody's killed?

Drugs, Howard.

I know we don't have the personnel,

and we'll never have a warrant

with the stuff that we have so far,

but it sure would be nice

if we could search that place.

Yeah, all right.

I guess I can handle that.

I mean, Boyett's a friend of mine.

What's he gonna say, no?

Yeah. D.E.A. Agents,

Customs guys, the C.H.P.,

two shifts of our own guys,

plus all sorts of local cops.

This is gonna be the biggest search

in the central coast since...

What? Since probably World War II,

and it's all because of you.

We're gonna go through Boyett's

like bacon through a duck...

and bust us a smuggling operation.

This is dessert.

Chocolate chip cookies.

Chocolate chip.
