and you blink once for yes,

and twice for no, okay?

Once. Yes. Okay, good.

You killed Amos Reed.

I don't believe you.

Hooch says you did.

- [Growls]

- [Groans]

"Yes." Okay. Progress. Good.

Now, the seafood plant...

you're using that as a cover?

You're smuggling money... cash...

out of the country? Yes.

Okay. Hmm.

This is fun, isn't it?

Boyett's in charge? No?

- [Growls]

- [Groans]

I can't stop him from snapping

your neck in two. Is Boyett in charge?

Is Boyett in on it?

All right.

- [Groans]

- I'm sorry. Sorry.

Here. Back this way.

All right, I'm just gonna make you

a little more comfortable, that's all.

- [Groans]

- All right. Good. Now, let's sit down.

Let's sit down. Hooch!

- Come on, boy.

- [Growling]

Keep an eye on him for me,

would ya?

What is this in your pocket?

Oh. Thanks.

[Footsteps]

Okay, now, Hooch. Is there any way

I can get you to understand this?

I need you to cover the back.

Understand? Cover the back.

You know, the back,

the back... the backyard.

The back door. The gate.

The back... The back

of the building, okay?

Please?

Cover the back.

What a good dog.

- Oh! You scared me.

- Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

- It's-It's nothing.

- I got here as fast as I could.

I mean, I can't believe it's Boyett.

- You were right.

- Where's the backup?

- Where is everybody?

- Huh? Oh, yeah.

I got four cars out on Carpenter Road.

They're ready any time I signal them.

- Okay.

- Uh, so...

- You ready?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Looks like we missed 'em.

Yeah.

Hey, the engine of this forklift

is still warm.

So it looks like we just missed 'em.

- Hey! Hey!

- Because you tipped 'em off,

didn't you, Howard?

What are you doing?

What's going on here?

You got backup on Carpenter Road,

you better call 'em in. Use the radio.

- Turner, come on. It's-It's Howard.

- Look, look, look.

You and Boyett are laundering money.

You've got the perfect set-up here.

This small town where nothing ever

happens. Built-in police protection.

I even know how you're doing it.

No!

That's all the evidence I need, Howard.

It's just a matter of

who's gonna sell you out first,

Zack or Boyett.

[Groans]

[Boyett]

We got him pinned between us!

- [Howard] He's on your right!

- Cover me!

[Snarling, Barking]

- [Yelps]

- No!

[Groaning]

You hit my leg.

[Boyett Groaning]

[Groaning Continues]

All right, lace your hands

behind your head.

- Don't turn around.

- Howard.

He's still got his pistol.

- Howard, what are you doing?

- [Shotgun Blast]

Scott?

I'll kill you if I have to.

But obviously this is going to be

a lot easier to explain...

if we both have the same story.

What?

We came here to question him

and he fired at us.

He killed your dog. We fired back.

Killed the suspect.

Congratulations.

You solved the case.

You know, I met some people

when I was in the army in Panama,

and they needed a secure way

to get cash out of the country,

so Walt set it up,

and I got one percent.

- It's drug money, Howard.

- I don't know that.

I never asked where it came from.

It's a damn shame that people

are getting killed over this thing.

When I found out about it

it was too late. Do you believe me?

- How do you explain Amos's murder?

- [Howard] It's covered.

Zack killed Amos.

Boyett told him to do it.

Boyett's dead. The case is closed.

It's all true.

Now, you gonna work

with me on this?

[Sighs]

Sure is a lot of money, Howard.

Yeah, I'll work with you.

Tell the truth.

- [Snarling]

- [Yells]

[Yells]

- [Heavy Breathing]

- Hooch.

Hooch, Hooch, Hooch.

[Siren Wailing, Tyres Squealing]

Come here. Keep these on.

Come on.

Hold that there.

Use pressure to stop the blood.

[Clears Throat] You'll be all right

once we get you home.

[Voice Breaking] Once we get you home,

you'll be all right.

- What you need is some rest.

- Keep your hands on his face.

He can smell you.

- That's right.

- Yeah.

You'll be all right.

Change it when it gets soaked.

That's right.

Just hold on, pal.

You okay?

[Scott] He's gonna be all right.

He'll be okay.

He's lost a lot of blood.

It's okay.

It's all right.

Good boy. That's a good boy.

Good boy.

Just gotta get you home.

Get yourself some rest.

Hold on, chief.

Hold on, boy.

Come on, boy. Come on, pal.

Good. Good.

You'll be okay, chief.

All I have to do is get you home,

just get you some rest.

- You're gonna be okay, chief.

- [Clattering]

Come on. Come on.

[Whispering]

Come on, chief.

That's it?

[Sobbing]

I'm sorry.

Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.

Come on, now.

They may not drive well, but we try

to keep them a little bit clean here.

Hey, I'm sorry, man.

- Let's go. Come on.

- Ready?

Seat belt. Seat belt.

Oh, ho!

Stolen bicycles from the high school.

Congratulations.

How'd you know to look here?

Hey. I'm a professional investigator.

It's my job to know these things.

You got a tip.

I got a tip.

You solved the case.

It feels good, doesn't it?

Chief,

your wife just called the station.

Quote, unquote:

"He's out, and if you're not home

in five minutes, you're hamburger."

- Hey, Turner, you need my help?

- I can handle my own domestic crisis.

- Wait a minute. Here. Take my jacket.

- What?

Wrap it around your throat.

[Laughs]

[Siren Wailing]

- Good luck, Chief.

- Good luck is Scott's.

- [Puppy Yapping]

- What's going on? I'm home.

Help! I didn't get my nap.

I didn't... I didn't get

my ice cream cone.

And he set them off again.

These are perfectly nice puppies

and then he gets them going.

- Uh, where... where is he?

- I'm done.

Where is he? Where is he?

- He's upstairs. He's yours.

- I'll take care of it.

- I'll take care of it. All right.

- You deal with it.

- Professional veterinarian.

- Excuse me?

No barking. No growling.

No eating of the house plants.

No dogs allowed

on the second floor at all.

No playing of my records.

No sniffing of crotches.

No drinking out of the toilet.

You will not beg for food.

No ball playing in the house.

No chewing or slobbering of my shoes.

- You will not hide from me.

- [Thudding]

This is not your room.
