Something to drink?

It's not gonna hurt me at all

if we impress some of those C.H.P. Guys.

That's gonna look good on the resum.

Give me maybe a little job security

in the future.

Nothin' wrong with that.

There you go.

Well, come on.

You're not eating. Go ahead.

Go ahead.

This is a celebration, Hooch.

You I.D.'d Zack Gregory.

Amos's murder is all but solved.

So go.

- Open your beer.

- [Sniffing]

What?

You're thinking about Amos?

Huh?

You must miss him.

Yeah, well,

I forget sometimes that

this must be pretty hard on you.

Everything's so different.

You and I got off

to a pretty bad start,

and my place isn't exactly

a rusty shack filled with junk.

Not yet, anyway.

You can keep working on it.

Okay?

Hmm?

- You like that?

- [Grunts]

You like that?

[Grunts]

You do!

You like that.

Well, here.

Let me do this side as well.

Huh? Huh?

You're not so rough.

- You're not so mean.

- [Growling]

You're not any kind

of a monster dog, are ya?

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Look at that face. Look at those

big teeth. What are you doing?

Give me back my towel.

Give it to me.

[Both Growling]

- All right then! Come on!

- [Barking]

- [Barking]

- Come on! Come get this thing!

Get it! Ha! Ha-ha!

I got it!

Oh, yeah! Yeah!

I'm coming right now for you!

Well, if any of my employees

are involved in anything illegal,

I'm happy to cooperate.

- I just don't understand it.

- When was the last time

you saw Zack Gregory?

Yesterday at the wedding.

He didn't show up for work last night.

Well, the Monterey police

checked out his address.

It was a motel,

and they'd never heard of him.

He shows up for his pay cheque,

I'll call you.

All right, let's go, guys!

Come on!

I don't want any Sheriff's Department

guys handling this stuff alone.

Let's make sure one of our guys

is with them all the way.

- Gee, I hate fish.

- [Chattering]

Okay.

Let's check in the back.

[Chattering Continues]

Move these filing cabinets out,

- then go through these one by one.

- [Chattering Continues]

Maybe we came on the wrong day.

Howard, I apologize.

I'm sorry.

- I really let you down.

- Come on.

Forget it. Can't expect things

to pan out every time, can you?

Besides, you got a new job

waiting for you.

Why don't you go home

and pack up and get ready.

David, the case is now yours.

Foster, the guys in Monterey told me...

you sheriffs did

the original go-see on Zack Gregory,

but the D.M.V. Says they sent

his vehicle registration...

on the black Cadillac

to the Lazy Acres motel.

So I'm just trying to determine how you

discovered that it was a false address.

What did you do,

just call them up on the phone?

You didn't even go down

for an interview?

You didn't show them a photo?

Well, all right, look,

I need surveillance done...

on the Lazy Acres motel

to locate Zack Gregory.

Yes. He's the prime suspect

in the Amos Reed murder, that's why.

Yes, he is.

He is legitimate.

I have an eyewitness, kind of.

I am not telling you

how to do your job.

I am a law enforcement officer,

and you are too, kind of,

and I'm asking you

for a professional courtesy.

Don't hang up on me!

What a dumb cop.

[Phone Rings]

Scott Turner.

Oh, hi. Yeah.

Hey, how's the town vet?

[Scott] It just keeps

clicking around inside my brain,

what Amos told me about that place,

that there's something going on.

I don't know.

I can't figure it out,

- and I can't stop thinking about it.

- Maybe you should.

- [Sighs] No.

- Stop thinking about it.

Well, when I have a problem

that I can't get anywhere with,

sometimes I just think of

something completely different,

and then that's when

a solution comes, bang,

just like that, out of nowhere.

- Well, that's fascinating.

- [Laughs]

I don't work that way, all right?

- Well, try.

- Well, l... No, I can't.

- I don't, uh... I don't know how.

- Well, I'll help.

- I'm thinking about something else.

- [Groans]

- What am I thinking about?

- Oh, don't.

- Indulge me.

- Don't, don't... Don't even, uh...

- I don't know

what you're thinking about.

- Oh, great.

So you've never thought about it?

Never thought about what?

Oh, oh, oh... Thought about...

- Oh! Well...

- Thought about that. Well...

Yes. I'm a guy. Yes. Yeah.

I've thought about that.

- How far did you get?

- Well, I, uh, I got to unbutton the...

top button of your blouse.

I got a lot farther than that.

- You did?

- Mm-hmm.

- How far? A lot farther?

- Well, a lot farther.

I didn't know

there was farther than that.

Well, you have to use

your imagination.

- Well, that's got to be illegal.

- Probably is.

- Eww! Right from the carton?

- Mm.

Oh, God! A woman in my house.

How'd that happen?

Hey, how's your back?

Well, it's regained some

of its elasticity, I'd say.

[Laughs]

Yeah.

- Well, this thing is empty.

- Mm-hmm.

What are we gonna do about it?

Well, most of my grocery budget's

been blown on my dog,

- but we could manage...

- Those eggs?

- Perfect omelette.

- Oh, that's great. Go to it.

Uh, well, um...

- No. No, no, no. No, no, no.

- [Laughs]

No, I think "we" was

the operative word there.

- No. Oh, geez!

- Oh, well!

Oh!

You look very lovely in the light.

- I don't do this.

- That's where it all happens.

- We have cheese.

- Oh, come on.

- I'll mess up your kitchen.

- I'm not gonna cook for you, woman...

- 'cause you wore me out.

- Did I?

We could call for pizza.

Don't. Don't.

I'll walk you through this, Doctor.

That's an omelette pan

right above you.

Aw, geez. You have a pan

just for your omelettes?

There's a whisk and...

[Kiss]

[Sighs]

- [Egg Taps Bowl]

- Oh, no.

- I'm hungry too.

- Oh, come on. I'm doing it.

I'd like to eat some time

in the next five hours.

- Is this happening?

- There you go, and great.

Now, mix that up...

and then we'll throw in

the other stuff.

- [Stirring]

- No, that's-that's stirring.

This is how you mix.

This is how you mix.

Oh, my God.

Do that again, would you?

- You like that?

- [Laughs] Oh! Yeah.

Oh, you feel so...

feel so good.

You smell so good.

[Scott]

Oh!

- Mmm! Oh, Jesus, of course!

- What?

Oh! They're not

bringing something in!

How could l... Oh!

- The thing that I wasn't thinking of!

- Oh, the thought.

- Yes! Bang!

- Oh. I told you...

Hits me right...

That's never happened to me.

I gotta get another look

inside that place.

- They're smuggling something out!

- Why did I open my mouth?

So does this mean

I'll be eating alone?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, but yeah.

I tell you what.

I'll make it up to you tomorrow night.

Have you ever been down to that

Italian place down in San Rapello?

They make a lasagna down there.

It's not a great lasagna,

but it is a good lasagna.

I make better, but do you want...

You want to go tomorrow night?

So, you're gonna be here

another night?

- Oh, yes.

- Well...

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yes.

Yeah, another night...

at least.

Hooch! Come on, boy.

- He's outside.

- What is he doing outside?
