01x06 - The Fur-gitive

[bunniefuu]

[SCOTT] Hooch, let's tell them
what happened last week.

It was 30 years ago.

I was riding around in a police car
with Scott and the first Hooch.

Thanks for helping us
pack up his stuff, David.

He'd love that you're here.

No place I'd rather be.

Mr. Gillen, our father was
investigating you. Why?

Look. I don't know what
your dad was investigating,

but it was a lot bigger than me.

- We gotta find you a somebody, E.
- [JESSICA] Mm-hmm.

Somebody like Scott.

Why would you think that?
I never said I liked Scott.

If you were interested,

I just happen to know
his big date fell through.

I wanted to apologize for
forgetting about dinner.

I was driving by your house, so...

That's great. I wish I wasn't in
the middle of giving him a bath.

Do you need help with the bath?

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]

[BROOKE] It looks fantastic.
And you know it.

[LAUGHING]

[SCOTT] It's really...
It's beautiful shading.

- [BROOKE] Thank you so much.
- [SCOTT] Anytime.

Thanks for coming down to Cypress Beach

to help with the GuacFest sign.

It was sort of our dad's big thing.
We kind of go overboard.

- I mean, I can't miss Hooch as an avocado.
- [GROWLS, YAWNS]

That's true.

Plus, I get to hear the
embarrassing stories

from when you were a kid.

- Those were great. Thank you, Mom.
- [BROOKE GIGGLES]

I didn't tell her about the time
you almost ran over yourself

with the lawn mower.

[LAURA CHUCKLES]

- [GRADY] Knock, knock.
- [EMILY] This is gonna be good.

- Dropping off the little man.
- Mommy!

Hey, buddy.

Mwah.

Matthew has a surprise.

[WHISPERING] Show 'em.

Presenting...

guacamolade!

- [LAURA] Wow.
- [SCOTT] Guacamolade?

It's for the Guacamole
Fest cooking contest.

I dedicate it to Grandpa.

Aw.

Aw, thanks, bud.

[SNIFFS]

- To Dad.
- To Dad.

Wait, drink it slowly. It's chunky.

[GAGS]

- [GAGS]
- [WHIMPERS]

I know moms are supposed to be
supportive, but that was disgusting.

You know what it was like?

It was like he strained guacamole
through an old gym sock,

threw the sock in a blender,
and we drank the sock.

I gotta say, Brooke's a lot less
stuck-up than I remember.

Although, are those really her
painting clothes? [CHUCKLES]

[SCOTT] Come on. She looks amazing.

I'm glad you're here for this.

I don't know.

You know, I used to think
Dad's GuacFest thing was corny.

[CHUCKLES]

Now I just miss him.

Same.

- Hey.
- Hey.

[GRADY] Where does Emily keep the bread?

I wanna get a good base
before I try the guacamolade.

The bread'll help soak up the toxins.

I'm not sure that's how that works.

- [SIGHS]
- Yeah, it does. [CHUCKLES]

Oh. Hey, Laura. By the way,

those police files you asked
for, they're crazy popular.

Mayor Sutton came down to my office,
asked for the exact same ones.

He told me not to say anything
or I could lose my job.

So don't say anything.

Okay, that's weird. Why is
David reading Dad's files?

Should we be looking into David?

[CHUCKLING] Looking into the guy who hid

our Easter eggs when we were kids?

He was Dad's best friend.

Scott, Dad was keeping this a secret.
Anybody could be involved.

Look, I love David too, but if
he's threatening Grady's job?

[MATTHEW] Uncle Scott!

Your girlfriend drank the
guacamolade too quickly.

She's puking in the mailbox.

- [GROANS, SIGHS]
- Wait, Scott. Meet me tomorrow night.

- Laura, I gotta go help Brooke.
- Just promise me.

Yeah. Okay, fine. Yes, I promise.

[MATTHEW] She's throwing up a lot.

Thank you.

[BROOKE GAGGING]

It's gross.

Thank you.

Hooch ate Grady's entire loaf of
bread. How is he still hungry?

Oh, Hooch is always hungry. That's
why he's built like a dinosaur.

[BROOKE CHUCKLES]

I'm so sorry about today and
you ruining your silk blouse.

No, it's okay.

I always wanted to "guac this way".

- Let me get you a water or something.
- Thanks.

So I guess your dad was,
like, Mr. Cypress Beach.

Did you always wanna be a cop like him?

Not exactly like him.

My dad was kind of a
softy as far as cops go.

Like, when I was 12, he
ticketed this guy for vagrancy

and then he let him stay in
our guest room for a week.

- Seriously? [CHUCKLES]
- Oh, yeah.

You know, it's part of the reason
why I joined the Marshals,

'cause, like, we chase
the bad guys, you know?

It's far less complicated

and you don't end up with a dr*fter

named Safety Pin using your toothbrush.

Well, speaking of family,

my dad has this charity event
on Saturday at the club,

and it's your basic
black-tie, meet-a-senator,

picture-with-an-astronaut type thing.

- I know. Super lame.
- Hmm.

But, um, any chance
you'd, uh, be my date?

Sure.

Sounds like a very low-pressure
way of meeting your parents.

You are funny.

[CHUCKLES]

They're gonna love you.

How are you at ballroom dancing?

I'm okay.

Yeah. Uh, wait. This
isn't a test, right?

Your parents aren't gonna
hate me if I can't...

Not at all.

Although, they went on for years
about this guy that I dated in college

who didn't know the difference between
a Viennese and American waltz.

- [CHUCKLING] What?
- Yeah.

So basic. Loser.

- One, two, three.
- [TALKING ON PHONE, FAINT]

One, two, three.

- One, two, three.
- [MAN ON PHONE] And promenade. Yes.

- One, two, three.
- Is that a... Is that a backstep? What...

- Hold her hand lightly.
- These people look miserable.

- One, two, three. One, two, three.
- One, two, three. One, two, three.

- Oh, wonderful.
- [GRUNTS]

- Steady!
- Ooh.

- Thank you.
- Easy.

- You okay?
- [SCOTT] Yeah.

I was just watching this YouTube
tutorial on how to ballroom dance.

Brooke invited me to this thing,
and I kinda told her I can waltz.

I'd like to waltz with you one day.

For sure.

[MAN ON PHONE] And one,
two, three. One, two, three.

Feel the rhythm.

Wonderful.

Might wanna nail down walking
before you start ballroom dancing.

So, you're doing this for Brooke?

She do any of the stuff you
like to do? Like, say, jogging?

Oh, Brooke hates jogging.

Something about a $200
blowout, whatever that is.

Hmm.

But Erica jogs with you, doesn't she?

Yeah. Erica's great.
She's a great friend.

- Conference room now. Emergency briefing.
- Great.

[CHATTERING]

Bye.

[MENDEZ] All right, everyone.

We've got an all-hands-on-deck
type situation here.

Sonoma County PD has requested our help.

They attempted to arrest
William Jackson,



Turns out he's former special forces.

Security cameras at Jackson's
work captured this video.

[GRUNTING]

Way to stick the landing.

I'm pretty sure he's the bad guy.

Good landing's a good landing.

- [MAN 1] Ooh.
- [MAN 2] Ouch.

Trent Havelock's deputy
in charge on the manhunt.

Thanks, Chief.

Big Dog likes to hunt.

- Yeah, he does. Hunt, Big Dog.
- [HOWLING]

He's calling himself Big Dog now?

Oh, he got vanity plates.

He's really trying to make it a thing.

Now, listen up.

We don't know what we're
dealing with here, so we...

Yeah, we do. The guy freaked out
'cause he didn't wanna pay rent.

The head case spent too
much time in the sandbox

and can't hack it stateside.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Huh.

You got something to say?

Yeah. Couple things.

First, you were in the
National Guard in New Jersey.

You don't get to say "sandbox"
unless you mean the Jersey Shore.

And second, a lot of these
guys suffer from PTSD.

What makes you the expert?

Just two tours in Afghanistan

while you were guarding saltwater taffy.

[ALL CHUCKLE]

And you need to remember
who the DIC is on this, X.

Oh, I remember, T.

Enough. Both of you.

We're all on the same team.

Our fugitive was last spotted
by a pack of scouts

near Muir Woods, in Marin County.

The redwoods are dense.

PD's asked us to cover
down in this area,

north and west of these hills.

Now, let's bring Jackson
in before someone gets hurt.

- Mm-hmm.
- [MENDEZ] Dismissed.

[CHATTERING]

Yo, are you sure that was a good idea,

getting into it with Trent?

You think he'll take it personal?

- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
- Probably.

[GROANS]

[BRAD CHUCKLES] Good one, bro. Good one.

[MARCUS] Good job, man.

You know, sometimes
you gotta take the wave,

even if you know you're
probably gonna eat the reef.

Well, yeah, but that's not...

Like, isn't it better to
take a different wave,

so you don't smash into the reef?

Mm-mmm.

Time to speak up is
the time to speak up.

But you know that's
not an argument, right?

You literally just said
the same thing twice.

It doesn't make it true.

Maybe it does.

Maybe it does.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

'Kay, today's assignments.

Jenna, Turner and the dog, you're
with me and the alpha team.

You're with the big boys
now, so don't screw it up.

Xavier,

you're gonna reinterview the
scouts that spotted Jackson.

Copy that.

The little kids, I mean.

I love kids.

Good. And after that you can stand post

at the roadblock at Blackfoot Trail.

- Better standing than sitting.
- The far one.

I was just gonna suggest that.

Right.

Okay, T-squad. Circle up.

Yo, this is what I was saying, bro.

You have more experience than any of us.

And what? He's got you

interviewing little kids
and watching a roadblock.

I mean, what do you do now?

I work the case.

But it's a manhunt. If
you're not there, how...

Don't have to be there to be there.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you do.

Can't catch the man if
you're not on the hunt.

You don't have to be there to be there.

Saying things twice. Is this,
like, an all-the-time thing now?

Hey. Let's mount up.

Should I get used...
Okay. Thank you for that.

Gotta love a manhunt
through the woods, right?

Seriously. This is probably
the best assignment ever.

Mm-hmm.

It's like we're in the
movie The Fugitive.

- Right?
- Yeah.

[IMITATING DR. KIMBLE]
"I didn't k*ll my wife".

[IMITATING MARSHAL GERARD]
"I don't care".

[BOTH LAUGH]

Ah. You're right. You're right.

This is why I joined the Marshals.

Mm-hmm.

Do feel kinda bad though.

What? About X?

Oh, I'm sure he's fine.

[CHATTERING]

Okay. One at a time,
friends. One at a time.

- So the man you saw...
- He was in a red car!

We saw a cabin that looked
like an old lady's face!

My parents sleep in separate rooms!

Okay, new plan.

Now, if you know something about

the fugitive that you wanna tell me,

raise your hand.

- Me! Me! Me! Me!
- Me! Me! Me! Me!

Now, if you're gonna say the car
was red, put your hand down.

Me. Me.

If you're gonna say the car was reddish,

kinda like a burnt orange,

put your hand down.

Okay, little man.
What you gotta tell me?

I have to go to the bathroom.

Oops. Never mind.

Yeah, I've been there.

Okay. That concludes our interview.

Thanks, kids.

[CHATTERING]

[PACK LEADER] All right, guys.

We got some setting up
to do, don't we? Careful.

[TRENT ON PHONE] This is the Big Dog.

I'm out saving the world.
Leave a message.

Hey, Trent. No new info.
One kid peed himself.

[TRENT ON RADIO] Stay sharp.
Fugitive was seen around here.

Dealing with a wannabe
Rambo. Watch your six.

Copy that.

- [PANTING]
- [SCOTT] Quiet, Hooch.

He could be around here anywhere.

- Hooch?
- [BARKS]

Hooch? Where...

[HORN HONKS]

[JENNA] Trent, we need to
stop for a second. So sorry.

Hooch! Where are you going?

Hooch, we're supposed
to be watching our six.

This is definitely not
a... You're peeing?

- You taking a little pee break?
- Hey!

Let's go, Turner! The fugitive
was spotted just up ahead.

Got it.

Hooch, they're literally
leaving us behind.

Come on.

[expl*si*n]

- [BARKS]
- [GRUNTS]

I'm coming, Big Dog.

[TRENT] We're not gonna move it.

Those spikes that psycho put there
are stuck up in the engine block.

- Maybe if we all push from the side.
- [GRUNTING]

Forget it. We tried that.

We tried everything. This
thing's not moving, okay?

We checked the other roads.
Three more booby traps.

There's no clear way in.
Jackson's a one-man army.

Oh, yeah?

Well, we're a lot-of-men army.

Listen. That psycho tried to k*ll us.

He's messing with the
Big Dog. He's going down!

It's getting late. Let's
get in Turner's truck.

We're going back to base camp. Mount up!

[BRAD] Come on, man.

[SCOTT] Everybody good?

It smells like a burrito in here.

Oh, yeah, there was a taco
wedged in the seats,

but Hooch took care of it.

He ate it. I guess he was
waiting for it to ripen.

[JESSICA] Hello, this is Baxter.

Command center, this is Big Dog.

- Who?
- It's Trent. Baxter, It's Trent.

[JESSICA] Right, new call sign.

Think this will stick better
than T-Man or Falcon,

or that time you saw Top g*n on TV
and wanted to be called Maverick?

Just put in a request for a high-wing

surveillance asset with thermal optics.

We need to catch this
fugitive. Bye. Big Dog out.

This is w*r now.

He declared w*r on us. So
we're also gonna declare w*r.

Double w*r.

About that. I still
can't figure out why.

I mean, Jackson punched his landlord.

That's maybe six months
in jail. You know?

Running, that adds five years.

And then fighting the cops,
that's ten to 15 easy.

- I mean, why would he risk...
- He's a criminal.

Criminals do stupid things.
That's what makes them criminals.

- [GROWLS]
- What the hell noise is that?

Uh, do me a favor.
Call your buddy Xavier.

Let him know that our
orders have changed.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

'Sup?

[SCOTT] Yo.

Trent called in a search plane.

He's suspending the search till morning.

How's the roadblock?

Quiet. Just putting together a list
of Jackson's known associates

and a basic psych profile.

Seriously? From the roadblock?

Like I said, work the case.

Slow going though. Laptop ran
out of juice. Had to improvise.

[SCOTT] Well, you might
have some more time to work.

- Trent wants you out there overnight.
- [XAVIER] Copy that.

And tell him thanks.
Could use the overtime.

It's nice to get a chance to focus.

I'll let you know if I find anything.

Okay.

How'd he take it?

Ah, he was just, you know...

Xavier.

He's doing some research.

Research? He's in the middle
of nowhere, doing nothing.

Does he not get that?

You should stay away from that guy.

Something's not right with his brain.

One other thing. You need to
handle this dog sitch, 'kay?

We're jacking up the heat tomorrow.

I don't want that thing slowing us down.

Right. I'm on it.

[HOOCH WHINES]

- Make more noise, amateur.
- [CAR DOOR OPENS]

Hi.

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

Come here, bud.

Geez. I didn't think
you were gonna come.

It was a long day. What are we doing?

It's a stakeout, okay? We're
waiting till Mayor Sutton leaves.

Do I get to ask why we're
waiting for the mayor to leave?

Because we're gonna sneak into his
office, look around for evidence.

Laura, that's insane.

What's insane?

All the words you just
said. They're insane.

David Sutton is secretly
looking into our dad.

He's our oldest family friend.
Can't we just talk to him?

Then he's gonna know Grady told
us, and Grady will get fired.

Don't you wanna know why
David's keeping secrets from us?

- [DOOR OPENS]
- Oh, my...

[LAURA] Oh. Shh!

[WHINES]

There he goes. Okay, let's go.

Laura! I am a deputy marshal.

I can't be part of an ill*gal search.

Not to mention, any of the evidence
you find will be inadmissible.

Okay, fine. I'll go in alone.
Good night, Deputy Marshal.

- Hooch.
- Laura.

Crazy sister.

Sucks. Terrible comeback.

[WHINES]

Ah! Oh.

- Laura.
- Janis! Hi.

Didn't see you there.

[LAUGHS]

How are the guac
preparations coming along?

Guactastic, thanks.

Will a certain four-time
Guac Princess be there?

Oh, you know it. Getting my
waving hand ready. [LAUGHS]

So what brings you here?

I was, um, just hoping to
see Mayor Sutton. Is he in?

Sorry. He just left for the evening.

Oh, sh**t. Um, he was supposed
to leave something for me.

I'm sure it's on his desk.
I could go grab it.

What is it, sweetie? I'll get it.

Oh! I don't wanna bother you. [CHUCKLES]

No. I'll just... It'll be two seconds.

Oh, normally I would let you,

but he has been really on me about that.

I think one of the interns
is stealing his Snickers.

So if you come back tomorrow,
then I'm sure he'll...

[SCOTT] Laura. Time to go.

[LAUGHING] Hi.

Oh, my gosh. He is adorable.

[JANIS LAUGHS]

- [MOUTHING WORDS]
- [JANIS] Hello.

- [MOUTHING WORDS]
- [JANIS] What kind of doggy is he?

He's a Dogue de Bordeaux.

Dogue de Bordeaux?

- Look at you.
- [MOUTHS WORD]

- Fancy. Look at that face.
- Don't stop petting him.

- I could just eat him up.
- Me too. [CHUCKLES]

[JANIS] What's his name?

[SCOTT] It's Hooch, actually.

[JANIS] Hooch? Hoochy.

I think you want a treat.
I wanna go get him a treat.

- He's diabetic. No... No treats.
- Oh.

[JANIS] No, no.

[SCOTT] Janis, did you change your hair?

[JANIS] Yes! Thank you for noticing.

- You're glowing.
- Aw. [LAUGHING]

[SHUTTER CLICKS]

We can go for walkies. Yes, we can.

[SCOTT] You know what's
crazy about this breed,

is that they were originally bred
to guard vineyards in France.

- [JANIS] No. Really?
- Yes. You seem like a wine gal.

I do not need that stuff after
all. Thank you so much, Janis.

- Bye! Thank you so much.
- Okay. Thank you, Janis. Ow!

[SCOTT] Okay. Bye-bye!

Bye, Hoochy!

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Laura. Laura!

Laura, what are you doing?

I am making progress. He
had notes on Dad's case.

- Aren't you curious?
- No! I will not look at that.

I will not be implicated.
Listen. I'm not curious.

I'm angry, okay? This is ill*gal.

Breaking the rules
because you need to know

if someone betrayed someone
you love is not ill*gal!

What? Are you making up laws now?

Scott, listen to me.

I want no part of this.
I have work tomorrow.

You know, real police work.

- Come on, Hooch, before we get indicted.
- But... [SIGHS]

[GATE CLOSES]

- [GROANS]
- [HOOCH SNORING]

Hooch. Hooch. You gotta wake up, buddy.

We got a long day of
tracking ahead, right?

- Head in the game.
- [GROANS]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Hello.
- [ERICA] Hey.

I just saw that you texted,
so I thought I'd call.

It's 4:30. You didn't have to.

- Oh, no problem. Yeah.
- [WHINES]

Angel had some bad dreams,

so we're just talking
through her feelings.

What's going on?

Okay. So, I'm part of
this manhunt, right?

And it's for this former
special forces guy.

I was hoping that Hooch could track him,

but he just wants to play in the woods.

Was the wind at your backs?

Yeah. How'd you know that?

Special forces are trained
to stay downwind.

[SCOTT] Okay? What does that mean?

Is there, like, anything we can do?

There are actually two kinds
of scent: air and ground.

So even if your manhuntee
is staying out of the wind,

he won't be able to hide the
scent of something he's touched.

[GROANS] But ground scents are
tough, though. They take focus.

- Do you think Hooch has enough focus?
- [HOOCH GROANING]

[ERICA] Yeah.

Uh, I think he definitely has potential.

Mm-hmm. Maybe.

Good luck.

Thanks.

[GROANING CONTINUES]

Okay. The sun will be up soon.

Now, the Cessnas picked
up a heat signature

two klicks north of Whitestone Lake.

We'll search that on foot.

- Turner!
- I'm right here.

Oh, yeah. You fix the dog?

- Can that track his scent?
- Jackson's hiding downwind.

If there's a ground scent,
Hooch would definitely...

Okay, nerd.com, enough.

- Next time just say, "My dog sucks".
- Copy that.

Listen up. We need to get
this bandit, all right?

Let's mount up.

Oh, X. I almost forgot.

You're not coming with us,

'cause you are gonna stay here and...

[CLICKS TONGUE] ... guard the vehicles.

[SCOTT] But wouldn't he
be more useful with us?

What's he guarding the
vehicles from? Raccoons?

Well, what happens if Jackson comes
back and sets more booby traps?

I mean, Xavier here is
the expert on combat vets.

Ain't that right?

I'm on it, Big Dog.

Yeah, you are.

Yeah?

[SIGHS]

[SNIFFING]

Yeah. It's a rock, Hooch,

just like the thousand
other ones you sniffed.

Again? How are you not empty?

[TRENT] Turner, Jackson's
not gonna wait around

- 'cause your giant dog has a tiny bladder.
- [SOFTLY] It's a trip wire.

- Stop! There's a trip wire!
- Where?

[SHOUTS, GASPS]

Oh, Big Dog.

Oh, it's like that, Jackson?
It's like that?

[GRUNTS]

[SIGHS] Thank you.

When I was upside down,
a bug went in my mouth.

Hold up, Trent. We'll cut you down.

[SCOFFS] Bro, I'm CrossFit certified
Level 3, dude. Check the Insta.

I got this.

[GRUNTS]

[SIGHS]

Trent, uh, is that poison oak?

Huh?

[SCOTT] You probably shouldn't
be touching your face.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Scotty! What's going on?

Uh, we hit one of Jackson's booby traps.

Trent's, um...

regrouping.

At least we know we're
on the right track.

- [SQUAWKING]
- What's that?

Birds. I'm pretty close to their nest,

so they've been attacking. [CHUCKLES]

[SCOTT] X, where are you?

[XAVIER] I needed better data
reception, so I climbed a tree.

I got Jackson's DD 214 from the army.

I'm gonna call guys in his old unit.

Wait. You did all that while in
a tree, being attacked by birds?

[XAVIER] I don't mind.

- [SQUAWKING CONTINUES]
- Nature restores.

I'll check in if I get solid intel.

- Turner!
- Yes. What? I'm right here.

Is my face red?

Nope.

[HOOCH BARKING]

Hooch. Hooch, what do you got, boy?

Gimme that. That's dirty.

[BARKING CONTINUES]

Trent. Trent. I think maybe
you should look at this.

What is it, Turner?

Hooch found this dog toy.

We're not far from
where that trip wire was.

And Hooch has been
peeing everywhere, right?

I think Jackson might be
traveling with a dog.

- So what?
- Well...

I mean, you've profiled him to be, like,

this lone, disconnected psychopath.

[SIGHS] So he's a disconnected
psycho with a dog. Same difference.

Yeah, but couldn't this
be an important detail?

Hey, tell you what.

If you wanna hang out around here
and play with dog toys, go for it.

I'm going after the fugitive.

- You shouldn't scratch, bro.
- Shut up, dude.

- Copy that.
- Okay?

Let's move out.

Well, this explains why Hooch
was jumping out of your car.

He smelled another dog.

Yeah, I just wish it was more of a clue.

Well, it's not not a clue.

It's a military-grade KONG. Extra tough.

Military dogs use them,

'cause they chew so hard

and it's really hard to
replace toys in the field.

So, could a military dog be with him?

Sure. Yeah. They let army dogs
retire with their handlers now.

It's so much better for
the dog and the soldier

'cause they bond in combat.

Why would he risk going
home to get his dog

when he was on the run from the police?

- I would never leave Angel behind.
- [PHONE CHIMES]

Not even if I was being chased
by cops or dinosaurs or ghosts.

Uh, I wanna broach that. I...

[SOFTLY] Oh, no.

[ERICA] Is something wrong?

No.

Sort of. I have this thing,
and I have to ballroom dance.

And I don't even know the difference

between the American
waltz or Vietnamese.

[ERICA CHUCKLES]

I think you mean Viennese.

Oh.

Oh, that's why my Google searches

only found a dance studio in Hanoi.

[LAUGHS]

Yeah, the Viennese waltz

- is just a faster tempo.
- [SNAPS FINGERS]

- [SCOTT] Hmm.
- More change steps and turns.

Most people do the American waltz.

I could teach you if
that would be helpful.

Actually, a lot of the staff are
out doing field exercises now,

so there's... there's even space.

Wait. You know how to waltz?

When Curtis was little,

his favorite show was
Dancing With The Stars,

and our mom thought if he took lessons,

maybe it would help him
come out of his shell.

It did.

We even won some competitions.

Okay. So, dog whisperer,
ballroom champ...

What other secrets are you hiding?

[LAUGHS]

Nothing. That's 100% of my
secrets, Scott. [CHUCKLES]

I tried to keep that one from you,
but you're a detective. [LAUGHS]

So, dancing?

Okay.

Dancing, Hooch? Dancing.

One, two, three. One, two, three.

Great. And now the arms.

Great. And then just like...

Two, three.

- Oh!
- Geez! I'm so sorry.

In waltzing, is there a part where
it's kind of, like, interpretive?

No.

Okay, now I'm gonna spin.

One, two, three. One, two.

Perfect. [LAUGHS]

What?

- You're ready for the next thing.
- Yeah. It's my turn to spin.

- So... No. [LAUGHS]
- Is that wrong?

- [ERICA] You don't spin.
- [SCOTT] Doesn't seem fair.

- Okay, fine.
- Thank you.

Slower.

Okay, good. Now turn around.

- Sorry.
- [BARKS]

[ERICA] One, two, three. One, two...

- Oh!
- Sorry. I did it again, right?

Okay, now you don't count. Spin.

All right. Oh!

- I'm sorry.
- [LAUGHS] No, it's... It's good.

[WALTZ PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]

Spin.

I can't believe I'm doing this.

You're doing so great.

Are you ready to try the dip?

Yeah, I... Maybe you should put on

one of those dog bite suits first.

[LAUGHS]

Brooke's a fancy woman.
She's gonna expect a dip.

- [SIGHS]
- Go big or go home.

Okay. I'll go big. What do I do?

All right, let's start
here. She'll spin out.

Spin in.

Hold me tight.

Brooke. Hold Brooke tight.

Yep. So she knows you won't drop her,

and then look into her eyes...

and then lower her.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Do you need to get that or...
- Yeah.

- You know what?
- What?

I think it might be faster
if I just kinda let you down.

- Oh, go down?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

- There you go.
- Oh.

- You're on the ground now.
- Cool.

- We'll work on that part.
- Okay.

- It's my sister.
- Oh, cool.

- Sorry.
- Yeah. I gotta go work.

- Dog work. Dog's work's never done.
- [SCOTT] Okay. Okay.

- Yep.
- [SCOTT] I...

I'll be...

Hi. Hi.

[LAURA] Hey, Scott.

Sorry to bother you. Are you
in the middle of something?

Um... [SIGHS]

I'm not sure.

I know you're really mad at me
about the whole David thing.

[SCOTT] The David thing?

I think you mean the "breaking
into an old friend's office

so you can spy on him" thing.

Listen to me. I was just talking
to Mom, just now, and get this.

You know how Mom and David have
dinner every Saturday night

at Crescent Burger?

Well, he just called and said
that they should have dinner

at her place tomorrow

out of the blue.

Huh. That's weird.

Uh, ya think?

He's threatening my ex,
investigating Dad and now this?

We have to be at that dinner, Scott.

You know I'm right.

Okay.

You may be somewhat right.

Great. I will take it. Thank you.

Bye.

[SIGHS]

Mom. Do you think I could crash
your dinner with David tomorrow?

I haven't seen him in a while.

Yeah. I don't see why
not. I bet he'd love it.

Aw, great. Fun.

[DOG WHIMPERS]

[WHISPERING] Two, three.

One.

You're improving.

Very nice.

Thanks.

Erica taught me some stuff.

You know, turns out
she's a great dancer.

Erica teaches dance too? Hmm.

What are you doing here? Weren't
you up in a tree all night?

When do you sleep?

When the job's done.

Whoa. You did all this research?

Well, any answers?

[XAVIER] Nah, just questions.

You know, Jackson did
six combat deployments,

trained in survival and special tactics.

If he wanted those booby traps
to k*ll you, why aren't you dead?

Huh. That's a dark question.

Also, the landlord said the as*ault

happened over a refusal to pay rent.

I checked Jackson's financial records.

He paid every bill on time
going back to 2007.

We're missing something.

Well, one thing we're missing is this.

Found it freshly buried
near one of the booby traps.

- His dog is with him.
- Hmm.

- Dog?
- [SCOTT] Yeah.

Well, the landlord didn't mention a dog

in the report he filed to the police.

[SCOTT] Huh.

Sounds like we should
talk to that landlord.

Nice job, Turner.

I love watching a baby
bird stretch its wings.

All right. I-I'm not
exactly a baby bird.

You know, I've been working this case.

No, no. I wasn't talking about you.

I saw a baby bird stretch its
wings in the tree last night.

It's a beautiful thing.

Come on. Let's go.

I don't know why we
gotta go over this again.

- I told everything to the cops already.
- It won't take long.

It's just one question actually.

Why didn't you mention
Jackson's dog to the police

when you reported him for as*ault?

I don't know. It didn't seem important.

It is.

Why don't you tell us what
happened, including the dog?

Also, making a false statement
to the US Marshals

can get you five years
in a federal prison.

Just, you know, FYI.

XYZ.

[HOOCH GROWLS]

Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember now.
Yeah, it wasn't the rent, uh.

The building changed to no pets allowed.

Dude wouldn't give up his dog.

I went to evict him,
and he just attacked me.

He just attacked you?

Well, yeah. Well, I might
have, you know,

pushed his dog with my foot a little.

- [CLEARS THROAT]
- [GROWLS]

So, you kicked his dog, and he hit you?

Hey, hey. I'm the victim here.

Show us Jackson's apartment.

[BARKING]

[SNIFFING]

Yo. Yo, check this out.

Jackson's dog, Trooper, saved his
whole unit from a sn*per in Iraq.

This cabin.

Does it look like an
old lady's face to you?

What? Are you good?

The scouts told me about this cabin

that looks like an old lady's face

nearby where the search started.

That's probably where he's going.

Which would mean that
all the booby traps,

the whole chase was to drive us to the

other side of the woods away from there.

Well, it looks more and more
like Jackson was just a w*r hero

who wanted to be left
alone with his dog.

[HOOCH PANTS, GROWLS]

Trent's taking this personally.

If he gets to Jackson before
we do, it could be really bad.

We better get there before he does.

But how? I mean, we gotta
tell Trent what happened.

- He's the deputy in charge.
- Yeah, no problem.

[LINE RINGING]

[TRENT ON PHONE] This is the Big
Dog. I'm out saving the world.

- Leave a message.
- [BEEPS]

Hey, Trent. It's Xavier. We know
where Jackson is hiding.

Call me.

Trent never answers my calls.

Oh, he's very good.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

It's about five miles up this road.

Let's get stoked.

[BEEPS]

[WALTZ PLAYING ON RADIO]

Uh, it's just, um, my dance thing's
coming up. I'm just practicing.

I like it.

I do push-ups to paso doble.

Oh.

[MUSIC ENDS]

[XAVIER] Okay. Stay quiet.

Head on a swivel.

I knew a lot of these
special forces guys in Iraq.

The good ones are unstoppable,

and I'm pretty sure that
Jackson is very, very good.

That's not encouraging.

Those kids were right. Cabin
looks like an old lady's face.

The windows are like the eyes,
and the door, a little, cute nose.

And the steps is her mouth.

Moss is like the eyebrows.

Yeah, I get it. But how d...

Drop your weapon.

Get on the ground now.

I'm not gonna do that.

Just calm down. We know what
happened with your landlord.

We know about Trooper.

What do you know about Trooper?

[BARKS]

We just want to talk.

What is there to talk about?
Someone evicts me and kicks my dog.

I'm just supposed to let it go?

I know it's hard, brother,
but you're making it worse.

It can't get any worse. Trooper's sick!

And I'm not gonna abandon him.
He saved my life. I owe him.

- I understand, but you g...
- [ENGINES REVVING]

You hear those cars? That's
Trent coming up the road.

Listen. You gotta come with us.

I'm not going anywhere,
and neither is my dog.

Leave us alone!

All right, boy. Inside.

[TROOPER WHINES, BARKS]

Five more minutes, we would
have talked that guy down.

Come on, boy.

[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

Turner? X? What are you doing here?

You can't come at him like
this. It's not gonna end well.

Whose side are you on, Turner?
I say how this is gonna go.

Either he comes out and surrenders now,

or we kick the door down
and drag him out.

He's in the middle of a
mental health crisis, Trent.

We need to talk to him.

The time for talking's over.

[TRENT] Yep.

- Time to speak up is...
- Is the time to speak up.

Trent! Don't do this. This is a mistake!

What do you think you're doing,
Turner? I'm arresting that psycho.

He's not a psycho. He's a human
being, and I'm gonna talk to him.

Hey, Stop! Stop right there!

Stand down! Turner!

- Hooch. Hooch, come here.
- [JENNA] Move, move!

Sergeant Jackson?

I'm unarmed. I'm unarmed.
I'm approaching.

We're gonna talk man-to-man.

[GROWLS]

And dog-to-dog.

[HOOCH WHINES]

What do you want?

Sergeant Jackson, I know you've
made sacrifices for our country,

and I'm not gonna insult you and pretend

that I know what you're going through.

But I know what it means to love a dog.

And there are people out there
that wanna come in here,

and they wanna take you out by force.

I wanna help. But I need you to help me.

I told you I'm not leaving.

Be ready. We may have to
save that idiot, Turner.

You don't get it. If I go to
jail, my dog's got no one.

If I go away, they'll put
him down the next day.

And I'm not gonna abandon my dog.

Not when he needs me the most.

But you can't take care of him out here.

And we both know that.

He's 12 years old, and he
needs medicine twice a day.

Who's gonna take care
of a dog like that?

[SCOTT] Hey, Trooper.

I will.

I'll get him into the Federal
K-9 Training Facility.

They'll give Trooper the care
he needs. I promise you that.

Hostage rescue SWAT in place.

Come on, baby bird.

[SCOTT] We're coming out!

Stand down! It's okay!

[DEPUTY] Hold your fire.

[HOOCH, TROOPER BARKING]

It's gonna be all right, man.
You did the right thing.

- [TROOPER WHINES]
- [DEPUTY] Suspect in custody.

[SCOTT] All right, buddy.

We're just gonna go in there,
heads held high,

take our lumps, right?

Some people might think
we did the wrong thing,

but we're just not gonna listen.

Not that you shouldn't listen

when people think you did
the wrong thing, right?

You should.

Especially when you chew legs
off chairs in the kitchen.

- That's different.
- [JESSICA] Am I interrupting something?

Uh, no. I'm just preparing Hooch.

Chief wants to see us,

and I think we're gonna be in a lot
of trouble about what went down.

- Maybe. Maybe not.
- What do you mean?

Well, I don't wanna read
too much into this,

but I saw Trent try
and high-five the chief.

Chief just left him hanging.

- Really?
- Oh, yeah.

That's very interesting.

Mm-hmm. I heard something
else interesting.

I heard you got some
dance lessons from Erica.

A little cha-cha-cha.

- Nope.
- Uh-huh.

I need details, Turner.

I would love to, but I just
have this meeting to go to.

- So I cannot give you the details.
- You... Scott. Turner.

[SIGHS]

[TRENT] These two broke protocol.

Agency policy states that as DIC,

I should have been informed the moment

they knew the fugitive's location.

Check your voice mail.

'Kay.

[CELL PHONE BEEPING]

[WOMAN] Hi. This is Maui Wowie spray

tan salon confirming your appointment.

Nope.

That was a friend making a joke.

Hey, Trent. It's Xavier. We know
where Jackson's hiding. Call me.

Well, last I checked,

it's agency policy to
communicate with your team.

Okay, so I missed a call.

But that doesn't change the fact
that Turner disobeyed a direct order

and went into the cabin.

- Enough. Turner saved a guy's life.
- And a dog's.

Okay, so that's it? He hijacks my
operation and just walks away?

No. Turner took over so he can
handle the after-action paperwork.

I'm good with that.

[MENDEZ] Oh, and another thing.

Xavier has 15 years with the Service.

How'd he end up on a roadblock
duty guarding cars?

Um. [CLEARS THROAT]

Well, Chief, I'm glad you asked.

As DIC, I thought that would
be a good use of his skills.

[MENDEZ] Is that right?

Well, something just came in that
might be a good use of your skills.

There's a fugitive checkpoint
up in Humboldt County

that could use an extra body.

Sir. [SIGHS]

Bring a good raincoat.

- How's Trooper doing?
- So good.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Sit.

I had one of the vets check him out,

and he is old, but I
think I can help him.

And he's gonna help us train
the puppies. So, win-win.

- Ah, that's great.
- Yeah.

He's a good dog.

[CHUCKLES] It's funny.

Um, when we met, I didn't think
you were even a dog person.

But wow.

You are such a dog person.

I don't know. I'm getting there.

Oh, sh**t. I gotta go.
The event's tonight.

I gotta go home and dog-proof my
place for Hooch to be there alone.

Last time, I walked in on him
wearing my favorite turtleneck.

Cute.

Leave him here.

- No.
- Yeah.

No. That's not...

Come on. Look how happy they are.

I'll just watch him.

- Really?
- Go. Get outta here.

You're amazing. Thank
you. That's awesome.

Yeah.

- Scott.
- Yep?

Don't dip too far.

- I won't.
- [ERICA] Okay.

Thanks.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[WHINES]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

So, Laura, it's a nice surprise,
you joining us for dinner.

Yes, well, it's always
great to see old friends,

and I know you've been busy...

with things.

I think the Guacamole Festival
has everyone a little crazy.

The same weekend as the
Sausalito Salsa Fest.

- They're trying to steal our thunder.
- [LAUGHS]

Sausalito.

They pretend they're a quaint,
small town, but really, they're not.

It's kinda like a wolf
in sheep's clothing.

I guess.

Anyway, this GuacFest will not
be the same without your dad.

I miss him a lot.

I think we all do.

[WALTZ PLAYING]

[CHATTERING]

- Whoa.
- Yeah. The foundation really goes all out.

I mean, it's no Guacamole Fest.

[LAUGHS] True.

Oh, hi!

Hi.

Mom, Dad, this is Scott,
who I was telling you about,

from the Marshals.

Oh, good for you.

Rolling your sleeves up.
Making a difference, son.

Trying to, sir.

Just like our dear Brooke.

Although, I keep trying to get her to

join my firm and make some real money.

[CHUCKLES]

- [BROOKE'S MOTHER] Behave, Martin.
- I'm joking. He knows I'm joking.

Right?

Oh. Shall we dance?

- Shall we?
- Yeah.

Emily, where did you put
Scott Sr.'s old things?

I thought I might look
for some keepsakes.

That's so sweet. You're welcome

to look through the
boxes in the basement.

Ah. Okay.

You are full of surprises.

[SCOFFS] A friend taught me.

[MUSIC ENDS]

[STAIRS CREAK]

Oh! [CHUCKLES]

Hey there, Laura.

I was just looking for some
old photos of your dad.

- Were you?
- [DAVID] Yeah.

I was gonna use one for
the Memorial Cooking Award.

And you thought that that would
be in a box marked "Case Files"?

My eyes must be getting old. I
must have pulled the wrong box.

It's not the wrong box.

I know you've been
following Dad's cases.

I saw the notes in your office.

You were snooping in my office?

You're one to talk. What
are you doing down here?

Your dad was always riled about
developers ruining the town.

Just before he passed, he
called me, wanted to meet.

About what?

He said it was something big.

I thought it was more of
the same, so I put it off.

He died before I had the
chance to talk with him.

I felt awful.

[SIGHS] You've been trying to
figure out what he was doing?

I should have told you guys,
but you know how your mother is.

- It would have broke her heart.
- This is crazy.

Scott and I have been trying to
investigate the same exact thing.

[CHUCKLES]

Course you have. You're
Scott Turner's kids.

[SIGHS]

So, what did you find?

That road where he
had the heart attack...

Your father was watching something.

Do you know what?

I wanted to crack his last case.

But it's been so long since I was
a cop and he was my partner.

It's okay, David.

We'll figure this out.

We'll figure this out together.

Ah, someone's been to cotillion.

Handsome looking pair out there.

So what style of waltz
do you like, Scott?

Well, sir, I like my waltzes
like I like my cars.

American and smooth.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Scott, come join me later.

We'll have a scotch and
cigar with Buzz Aldrin.

- Okay, you two. Stop monopolizing my date.
- [BROOKE'S MOTHER] Hmm.

All right, sweetie. Come on.

- You did good.
- [CHUCKLES]
