- With Camille.

- Oh, would you clean this stuff up?

When you're done?

All right?

Just... Leave it. Never mind.

It's all right. It's all right.

I've got it.

- Oh, God! What time?

- 7:
00.

- I'll meet you here.

- I'll meet you here! Hooch, come on!

- [Clattering]

- Hooch, put that down!

Come on!

[Scott]

This your first stake-out?

It's mine.

Mmm.

Well, it's gonna be a long night,

so what do you say

we prepare for it, huh?

Try to stay alert.

Shall we? Want one?

There you go. Special treat, all right?

Mmm! Whoa. That's good.

They're hard.

Well,

it's not bad.

Tastes like health food.

You can have this.

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

Back in there.

Now, back to work.

[Clears Throat]

[Chuckling]

It was called

Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp.

It was like, you know, like

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Or something.

Did Amos have a TV? Oh. It was

two-dimensional. You couldn't see it.

It was these chimps,

and they were supposed to be spies,

and they were dressed up in suits

and stuff, and they'd wear hats,

and smoke cigarettes

and talk like that.

[Laughing]

You missed it. It was good.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Was good though too.

That was a good show. It was a

cool show. It was on Mondays at 9:00.

But it wasn't

Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp.

[Laughing]

[Speaking Gibberish, Laughing]

What does that do for you, huh?

That feel good?

Wake you up a little bit, hmm?

[Clears Throat]

I guess you have to be a dog.

Mmm.

Maybe I should have.

I had... I had the enlistment papers

all filled out.

And all that kind of stuff was sent,

but I had this thing

with distance vision...

so no flight school for me.

If you're in the Air Force

and you're not in flight school,

it means you're scraping bird sh*t off

of some runway in Guam for two years.

So... here I am.

I'm boring you.

It's my apple.

I got you something.

Here.

I got you a diet Coke.

Diet 'cause... Look at that.

Gotta start working on that.

You know, we've... we've known

each other for a while now.

Uh, I think it's safe for me to say.

Are you aware of your drooling problem?

I mean, it looks like

you swallowed a tennis shoe...

and you've got the laces

hanging out.

It's, you know,

it's a bit embarrassing.

Don't you think?

Maybe you could save that.

Is there a use for this stuff,

like as an industrial lubricant

or something?

Eww. Good God.

I won't even say

what you're doing to the car.

[Men Shouting In Distance]

- Hey.

- Did you bring it?

Yeah, I brought it.

- You do know that

we have to take it back?

- Yeah. Yeah, we'll take it back.

We'll take it back.

Come on, Hooch.

Come on. There you go.

Listen, I saw Boyett leave, so let's

get this over with before he comes back.

Wait a minute.

What about getting permission?

- Oh, David, why don't you relax?

- Relax?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

There's something not right here.

You got that look in your eye.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- Oh, yes you do.

- [Laughs] You humped the vet.

- Oh, "humped the vet."

Humped the...

You have a lot of class.

I happened to have

a religious experience...

with the future Mrs Scott Turner

who happens to...

Yes. She holds a doctorate

in veterinary medicine.

Get that ugly mutt out of here.

Sorry.

We're police officers.

This is a police dog, and we

just want to have a look around.

- You were here yesterday.

- The dog wasn't available yesterday.

This dog is a big problem.

He's a major health code violation.

Well, l-I don't understand

what the hassle is.

I spoke with Mr Boyett.

He said he'd be happy to cooperate.

Well, if he said it's okay,

then I guess it's okay.

- Thank you.

- Liar.

- What?

- Boyett didn't tell you that.

He sure did... yesterday.

Come here, boy.

Okay, Hooch.

Let's find some money, huh?

Can you?

Can you find some money?

Huh? Huh?

Smell it. Smell that money.

Find me some, okay?

Yeah, find some for me too, Hooch.

- Go find it, Hooch.

- What makes you think

these things are connected?

You know why I took that job

in Sacramento?

Yes. Because nothing

ever happens in Cypress Beach.

But what has that got

to do with anything?

There's been two unusual incidents

in town all year... Amos's murder...

and 8,000 found on the beach... they

happened a day apart from each other.

Now, maybe there's a connection.

- Maybe there's not.

- [Growling]

What is it, Hooch?

What, you got something, boy?

What is it?

What you got? What'd you get?

What is this?

What you got, huh?

Look at this.

This is a perfect match.

It's the same size.

It's the same brand, everything.

That's a good boy.

Oh, yeah.

- Way to go! Good going.

- All right, you guys.

I just talked to Mr Boyett.

He never gave you permission

to bring a dog in here. He's furious.

And I hope he sues

the crap out of you.

Hey, well, we're done anyway.

Thanks very much.

Come on, boy. Come on, Hooch.

Here we go. Come on.

You know, I could get fired over this.

It's fine for you.

You have another job to go to.

- I like a town where nothing happens.

- Don't worry. I'll take the blame.

I'll talk to Boyett and work it out.

Then I'll call Howard and do the same.

All right, what should I do?

Well, we need to find out

how common these plastic bags are...

if you can just pick 'em up

in a supermarket,

or if they're a special

order kind of thing...

so check out all the businesses,

stores, things like that.

Then park the car,

turn off the radio, take a nap.

'Cause if you're in on what

I'm doing next, you will get fired.

- You stay in the car.

- [Door Slams]

[Man On TV]

...think so, Skipper.

- Skipper! Mary Ann and Ginger!

- [Man #2] What about them?

- We gotta warn them about the Professor!

- [Bell Dings]

No vacancy.

- [TV Continues]

- Speak English, moron. No vacancy.

If you ain't got a warrant, get lost.

- You know him?

- Never seen him.

I don't have a lot of experience being

one of these intimidating policemen.

- I've never had to threaten anybody.

- You're breakin' my heart.

So, in order for you

to take me seriously,

- I guess I'm just gonna have

to shoot you in the leg.

- Yeah, sure you are.

[Screams]

You almost shot me!

I can't believe you done that!

- [Hooch Barking Outside]

- I can't believe I missed.

Now, where is Zack Gregory?

- [Hooch Continues Barking]

- Put the gun on the counter.

- Zack Gregory?

- I believe so.

[Gregory]

Go over to the Cadillac.

- You drive.

- [Hooch Continues Barking]

Hey, a seat belt? Oh, yeah.

Think that's gonna keep you safe?

Start the car.

What are you doing?

[Hooch Continues Barking]

All right, now start the car.

Now go out here and turn left.

- [Engine Revs High, Tyres Screech]

- What are you doin'? Slow down.

Careful! Look out!

[Groans]

You're not gonna do it.

You don't have what it takes.

What, kill you? You're right.

I don't. But he does. Hooch!

- [Growling]

- [Groans]

It's an interesting sensation,

isn't it?

I'm just gonna ask you some questions,
