This guy's not going to show up alone.

It's a hurry, Bubba.

This guy save your life once?

No.

I believe he did.

Don't start with that, will you, please?

Jack's a pain in the ass once in a while, but I like him.

He's a good cop.

Jack Moon is not a cop. He's a cartoon character.

He's a mouthy.

I rest my case.

Test in time.

There's Jack now.

You take the back.

Think he's going to run?

I don't know if he ran from Canada. Find out why.

Jack?

Move very slowly.

Jack, look, I'm not in the mood to play any games.

Don't talk.

Get in the ground, Ash.

Slowly. Why would I do that?

That's why.

You're the bear guy.

What do I do?

I'll distract him.

You run.

Wait, wait, wait.

Let me get this straight. You're moving real slowly and you want me to run?

Just go.

come to come on we need to have a little chat jack we want to have a talk

with him first and you would be we got no truck with you we want him

well that's too bad ffpd park your trucks right over there until i get

to you

Gentle Ben, come on, let's get Jack out of hibernation here and find out what

the hell's going on.

I got nothing to say.

I'm on vacation.

No, you're not. You're AWOL. You came down here on a case without official

sanction. I saved your life. This is how you repay me? No, you did not. I

wouldn't even have been out on that lake if you hadn't said it's perfectly safe

to go on the ice. You didn't run where I told you to go. Hello, hello.

Can we argue about who did what to whom later?

Now, Jack, I'm going to put your ass on the next plane back to Vancouver unless

you can give me the extremely good reason of why I shouldn't.

What's the matter, Barry? Got your tongue?

Ozan. The Canadians were supposed to be polite, eh?

Okay, see you, Jack. Au revoir.

Would you please stop antagonizing him? He's antagonizing me.

Well, then be the bigger person. He told me to go out on that ice, all right?

All right, fine, I believe you.

So, Mr. Bear is being quarantined here on the docks pending test results from

the San Francisco Zoo doctor.

Prince and the guy you shot matched to a PL of foot. Big -time poacher out of

British Columbia.

He was big, all right.

Any word on his accomplice? Gone with the wind and no ID.

Anybody have any idea what the Backwoods boys were doing here in San Francisco?

Well, you know those chocolates they were carrying?

Not chocolates? Not chocolates.

Not chocolates.

Bear Gulls.

That's Gulls with a G.

Bear Gulls? What's up with that?

Huge market in Asia for those things.

For medicine and aphrodisiacs.

Ounce for ounce, these things are probably more valuable than cocaine.

Yeah, about 25 grand per goal.

There's 20 in that box. It's half a million right there, and I bet this is

a sample pack.

So that means 20 dead bears?

Oh, yeah, and what's worse, there's no proof this stuff works.

That's cold -blooded.

Captain, a phone call from a Sergeant McKay mounting.

Oh, yeah.

Captain Bridges here.

Yeah, hello, Captain.

RCMP Staff Sergeant McKay here. How you doing?

Fine. And you?

Oh, just super.

Hey, listen, Captain, I hate to bother you and all, but I was just wondering,

how's things going with that noon situation?

You haven't managed to locate him yet, have you? Well, as a matter of fact, we

just tracked him down. Oh, that's great.

Yeah. You don't say.

Well, you know, we sure would appreciate it if you put him on a plane up here.

Well, it's going to take us about a day to get our ducks in a row, but then he's

all yours.

Oh, that's just swell.

Okie dokie, then. We'll be expecting him, I guess, tomorrow.

Hey, thank you very much, Captain.

All right. Yeah, yeah, bye -bye now.

Bye -bye now.

You want to see me? Oh, yeah.

Listen, Cassidy's 20 -week probationary evaluation is coming up, and I want you

to write the report.

Why me?

Because you're her partner.

Yeah, well, you're her boss.

Yeah, I'm also your boss.

Have it on my desk by Wednesday at noon.

Listen, we know about the Bear Gulls. Really?

What do you know about them?

I know that we don't have them.

So what you really mean is you don't know about the Bear Gulls, then?

Tell me, Jack, why is this case so important to you that you would go AWOL

risk losing your whole career?

It's my job, Dominguez. The fact that certain people in the department

me technically to be AWOL, it's no concern of mine.

You know, if you don't talk to me by this time tomorrow, you're going to be

home and it'll be of no concern to me.

But if you're willing to help me, I'll help you.

Now, what do you want to know?

Why are we at that shop?

Okay.

The owner of the place, his name is Mr. Fu. He's an expert in Chinese medicine,

right? He authenticates to Bear Gulls.

Authenticates him for who?

He's a big -time smuggler named Hong.

He runs his business out of Manila. I've been after him for two years, all

right? He gets to Bear Gulls from the LeFuts.

So the guy we missed, he's the brother of this other guy?

That's right. That's his brother, Roger.

Okay. They're down here to deliver a major shipment. They take it to Fu

He authenticates it. Then they deliver it to Fong.

So you're after Fu to get Fong.

That's right. But I don't know where Fong is.

So we have to fool Fong. We can't Fong Fu. You know, if you hadn't messed up my

bust, I'd have them both. You blew it, man.

That's months of work. Now, Fu's disappeared into Chinatown. I don't

never find him.

Are we still sure of that?

Here you go.

No, the smell of that coffee makes me want to gag. What's the matter? You got

the flu?

Trust me, I'm not sick.

Well, hon, you look a little sick.

I'm a little late.

Oh.

Oh, late, late. Yeah, late, late enough.

Oh, my God. Yeah, it would be a disaster.

Hey, ladies.

Just getting a little coffee.

Huh? Yeah, whatever.

Well, excuse me for living.

It's a girl thing.

Don't worry.

Private game.

We're not here to play.

Private game.

Don't make me say it again.

Mr. Chang, I know Zola.

And if you don't let me see him, then you won't have to tell me again because

you'll be out of a job.

And that would make me feel bad.

Some of

us have to work for a living.

You know my partner, Joe Dominguez, don't you?

Welcome. Thanks.

We're looking for a guy named Fu.

Specializes in bears, gallbladders, bile, that sort of stuff.

Look, I can't stick around tonight. I'm a little busy.

In fact, I probably won't even remember I was here.

Fu is just his middle name.

His real name is Michael Chow, okay?

And he works for Fong? Yeah.

Jeremiah Fong, Vietnamese guy.

Okay, so where do we find him? Hong Kong, Manila, Vancouver.

He come to town one day, two days a year. I don't know.

This just happens to be one of those days, I guess.

And tomorrow he be gone.

Maybe better you let tomorrow come and go.

Yeah, it would probably be better.

Yuan Fu, you find Betty.

Betty. His bear.

He taps her for bile. He's an addict.

Che Che.

Hey.

You haven't changed since you were 14, Nat.

Maybe a little bit slower.

Forget.

About noon.

Anything comes up like... Cups.

Then you call me. Sure, yeah. Okay.

Thanks, Mr. Funk.

And get some sleep.

You look terrible.

I didn't say a word. The second time, I got there 15 minutes earlier.

And then, the crazy old coot, he beats me half an hour.

How long has this been going on?

Two weeks.

Got so I had to get up in the middle of the night just to get to my spot.

And then the bastard, he dumps my bait and cuts my line.

And that's when he hit you?

A lucky punch.

What's this guy's name?

not going to have my son settle my battles for me.

Good night.

What's up with Rachel?

She looks like on a warpath today.

Girl thing, according to Cassidy.

Girl thing, huh?

That means what exactly?

You're asking me?

No, I was over at Red's the other night.

I saw Nash and Rachel having a beer.

Really? Together?

Sitting together.

Like 18 inches apart.

Nash and Rachel.

Wait, hang on. I'm not editorializing or anything. I'm just telling you what I

saw.

Hey.

Hey. I believe we have a...

Visitor of the human variety here.

He's coming.

He's coming.

Let's go.

Let him work.

That's that, PD.

You're busted now.

so we can see him.

Hey, did you ever hear the expression smarter than your average bear?

You weren't.

You no cannot ask. I do nothing wrong.

You come in my shop, you destroy everything. You take my bear.

You bad man.

You all very bad man. I go back to China.

Let's see what we got here. Michael Chow.

Place of birth.

New Brunswick, New Jersey.

You want to start over?

All right.

So I've had a little trouble staying out of trouble. You can't arrest me for

that. I haven't done nothing wrong here. I was minding my own business in my own

place of business, and this whole thing went down. Let me ask you something.

How does a guy with a chemistry degree from MIT end up in the bear gall

business, Michael? The what business?

Well, maybe your brain needs to get mixed, huh? Like a little ranch

eh? Who is this guy?

He's a friend of ours. He's Canadian.

Canadians are supposed to be polite, courteous, friendly.

Get out of here. I just might kill your ass, man.

You don't tell us what we want to know, I'm going to kick your ass.

Jack, come on now. Be quiet for a minute.

Michael.

You really think this works?

There's no evidence that it actually does anything.

You know this.

Yet you'll stick a catheter in a bear just to get it?

What do you want to know?

Joe?

This guy here, Roger LaFoot, where can we find him?

Yeah, but where'd I let them?

That's all I know.

They were supposed to be camping out there or something.

They said all I had to do was walk into the woods, they'd find me.

That's the truth, man. These guys were like Davy Crockett or Pat Boone or

something. You mean Daniel Boone?

Yeah, yeah, him too.

Don't make me plug you.

All right, stand back, E.

What the hell is he doing?

I don't know, Harb. Don't you have that urge to climb a tree?

Not lately, no.

What?

How'd he do that?

Oh, okay.

Hey, don't move. What? Don't move. What?

Holy.

They're all around us.

What? Bear traps.

Like a minefield.

One wrong step, they go by your leg, eh?

Hey.

All right.

Step where I step.

One foot at a time.

That's a bat.

Hey, Newt. When you get back to Canada, I'll be waiting for you, eh?

Hey, not if I see you first there, Roger, eh?

All right, Jack.

What part aren't you telling me?

No, I already saved your ass once today. And count the ice. Hey, forget about

the ice.

I wonder what you're doing here.

You know what I'm doing here.

Look, I want the truth. The whole truth. The real story, okay?

Okay, I'll tell you.

When I was four, I went on a fishing trip with my parents. My dad had his own

plane.

We ran into a storm.

We crashed.

My mom and dad died in the crash.

I wouldn't have survived the first night unless they found me.

The foots? No, the foots come later.

A Canadian black mama bear.

She took me in, kept me alive.

She raised me as one of her own cubs until the day they showed up.

Oh.

Goldilocks and Papa Bear or?

The LaFootz.

They murdered my new mama and her cubs.

They brought me back to civilization.

If you want to call this civilized, don't mean a hardware store in Kamloops.

I spent 25 years hunting down the LaFootz.

You want to know what's driving me, Joe?

That's what's driving me.

That's quite a story.

Yep.

I had a similar experience.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

I was raised by a burrito.

I'll tell you about it later.

What happened to you?

New mud bath treatment for my arches.

Don't you start.

Jesse. Harvey.

Hey, you know that thing with Rachel, that girl thing?

I think you should drop it, Harvey.

So it has nothing to do with Nash?

What? Well, I heard that she and Nash were hanging out, and I thought, you

workplace tensions, dating the boss, being partnered with the boss's

No, no, no.

I don't know what you heard or how you heard it, but you're way off.

Fine. Never mind.

No, it has nothing to do with my dad. It's a girl thing, not a boy thing.

Get it?

No.

Oh, Harvey, come on. A girl thing. All right, don't be so dense. It happens

a month. Only this month it didn't happen. She's a little emotional about

Ah, I get it.

Ah, yeah, you didn't hear it from me.

Well,

I found the campsite and a bunch of papers we tried to burn. We've got the

at CSU looking to reconstitute it now.

How about Jack?

Anything forthcoming?

He's telling us the story. He's just not telling us the whole story.

Mr. Fu, a .k .a. Michael Chow, has passed on our offer to protect him.

For a guy from MIT, he's not very smart, is he? No, he's not. Hey.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

Sure.

I'll catch up with you later.

Sure.

What's up?

I thought you should know before I read Cassidy's report that there are certain

people here who have issue with the fact.

that she's at the SIU basically working at almost an inspection level instead of

out on the street on uniform patrol with her fellow rookies. Mm -hmm. One of

those people would be you.

No. Actually, I don't... I mean, I don't have a problem with her.

Except... Except I don't treat her the same way I would a seasoned partner.

I mean, I'm sorry. That's just the way it is.

And?

And... Sometimes I resent having to be responsible for her.

And as good as she is, I don't know that if in the long run it's a good idea for

her to be skipping over all these basic steps.

You know what the problem is

here, Rachel?

You're having a problem, and you keep trying to make it my problem.

I don't have a problem.

Either she's doing the job, or she isn't. And if she isn't doing the job...

I'll deal with it.

Okay?

Okay.

What was that about?

Nothing.

No, wait a minute. That was not nothing.

Well, it was nothing that you needed to know about. What if I would have told

you?

You don't want to hear what people are saying.

Anthony, I heard what people are saying.

Okay?

Good. It's all good.

Stuffed good, man.

As advertised.

Excellent.

Man, I'm definitely in the wrong end of the business.

Not to worry, Mr. Fu.

You'll get yours.

See you next time, Roger.

Sorry about your brother.

I'll make sure that Matty pays for it.

Thanks. See you in Vancouver.

Spare me the letter, God.

Good

luck

yet?

How'd you know I was here?

Left your hooks on the kitchen counter.

Thanks. I thought I'd lost them.

So, uh, this is the magical spot, huh?

It was.

You sure you want to fish in that spot, Nick? I mean, there's other spots around

here to fish in.

Hey!

I thought you would have learned your lesson yesterday.

Move along, Bubba. Unless you want another one of those to match.

Time out, guys.

Time out. Come on. I had to bring your boy down here to settle your business.

Yeah, I wanted to show him how it was done. Bring it on, then. Come on. Hey,

neutral corners. Time out.

Nice shot, Dad.

Aw, crap.

SFPD.

Is this your ride?

Yeah. Who's inside?

Nobody. Good. You can open the back door and let us look.

What's the matter here?

You drove this guy this morning, right?

I dropped him and his group off in Union Square an hour ago.

All right, what about that guy? Was he with him?

Part of the time.

Who else was in the car?

Two Chinese guys.

Bodyguard type.

And a brunette woman.

Real nervous.

Uh, Will?

Get whatever print you can out of here.

Thanks.

So you want to tell me what's going on?

Nash wants me to write your 20 -week evaluation report.

And what, you don't think I'm doing a good job?

No, I think you're doing a good job, Cassidy, but... You know, you're an

You're not a resident.

So you're way ahead of where you should be, and we both know why that is.

Look, I never asked my father for any help.

Okay, what do you want me to do, turn down a chance to work at the SIU? No,

I hear you.

Look, if you don't think I'm performing to the best of my ability, and better

than most...

I can live with the consequences.

You write what you gotta write.

You got a leak?

Huh. So you already patched it a couple times.

My guess is you can't find the source.

I thought you'd bring me over here, butter me up, and I'd fix a little

for you.

You know, a leak like that telescopes.

You know what that is, Joe?

That's a pitch problem.

At the roof.

You'd be real nice to me. I'll find it for you later.

Put a pin in that for a minute and talk about your problem.

What problem's that?

Well, that your wife ran off with Jeremiah Fong.

We found her prints in the limo that Fong rented.

Won't she get tired of Dudley and run off with Snidely?

Look, Jack, even though you were raised by bears, I think you have a better

motive here.

You got no idea how I feel.

So who are you going to take out, him or her? Maybe I'll take them both out, eh?

No, I don't think you will.

Sit down. Why don't you tell me about it, okay?

Oh, why?

Why, Joe? So you can ridicule me?

No. But I owe you, Jack.

There's not a day goes by that I don't kiss my wife and child and think about

what would have happened if you hadn't pulled me out of that frozen lake.

So, let me help you.

She accused me of being more in love with my work than I was with her.

I don't know, Joe.

Sometimes in my darker moments, you know, I think, maybe I'm just my father

over again.

Joe doesn't explain why the wife of a Mountie would run off with a guy he's

trying to track for two years.

You know, she met him in one of the clubs in Vancouver. You seen Fong?

God, some son of a bitch.

Mindy has a wild streak.

So what are you going to do when you find her?

Joe, I don't know.

Okay, okay, okay.

I'll tell you.

Best decision you made all day. Come on.

Telephone. Telephone?

You know that ancient game where a small little truth is blown up into a huge

fabrication as it passes from one person to another?

So there's nothing going on between Nash and Rachel, is that what you're saying?

That's what I'm saying.

And I for one, my friend, I am hanging up the phone.

I'm Fong's thug.

Well, if we went back to Canada, baby, you'd give up Fong's location, Dunster

Hotel, Suite 1200.

Bang! All right.

Yeah, we're on.

Okay, so the question is, do we surveil him or do we take him down?

Bird in the hand time, baby.

Take his ass down.

Okay. Fong's our man.

All right.

I got a black eye.

I just didn't want to walk through the whole damn barge and answer a whole

of stupid questions about it. Okay?

So, uh, who popped you?

Nick.

It's a short story, but too long to tell, so don't ask.

Excuse me?

Can I help? What happened to you?

I, uh, slammed my finger at the car door.

Morning. Morning.

Nash. John, you better get over here.

Nick, I'm a little busy right now, okay? The place is swarming with hardhats.

They're threatening to evict us.

I don't know.

I'll be right there.

You guys get Fong.

No, I'm sorry. He's not here right now. Who's calling?

Hello. What are you doing?

Hello.

Who's in charge here?

I am.

And you are?

Jerry Stevens, deputy city attorney.

These gentlemen here are from the building department.

They're citing you with 17 building and safety code violations.

You're being evicted.

There's got to be some mistake.

See, I've got a waiver here from the building department and the mayor.

Not anymore, Bridges.

Sorry.

Do I know you?

Let's just say you made a big mistake when you pushed my father down on the

pier.

Wait, wait, wait.

Your father is the guy from the pier?

Can you hold on a second?

Yeah, Nash.

Sergeant McKay here, Captain.

Listen,

Sergeant, this is not a good time right now.

Well, no, it never is with you, is it? I don't mind telling you, I got a real

situation here.

I received word that Constable Noon is running all over town down there after I

specifically and politely requested that you detain him and you said you would.

Oh, I am just quaking, I'm so darn mad.

Yeah, me too.

Listen, I'm going to take care of that, all right?

but I think I've heard that song and dance once or twice before from you.

So I'm going to be coming down there to pick up Constable Noon myself.

Yeah, one more thing's happening.

I never hung up on anybody before in my life.

Okay, back to you.

First of all, let's get one thing straight.

I did not push your father down.

In fact, I saved his ass because if I hadn't been there, my father would have

kicked it.

Careful, Bubba. This is my house, and you're messing with my dad.

Now, unless you want this to get ugly, why don't you gather up your guys and

Yeah, son, yeah!

Get him!

Now get your guys and get out.

What's up, PD?

I have a warrant here on what the path...

Just a minute.

Here.

Yes, off the elevator to the left.

Hey,

hey, hey, he's warning them.

All right, Antoine, cover the stairs.

Cops, come.

Cut the lights.

I carry the case. Let's go.

Harvey, get the girl.

Cover me.

Go.

Mindy.

Joe in here.

Call Mindy. I'll call paramedics.

So what'd you think, eh?

Huh? You run off with him for a couple months, come home, and you got things

of your system, eh?

You're lucky he didn't kill you.

No, what am I supposed to do? I'm supposed to take you back now? Eh?

Huh? You didn't think that you run off with Fong?

Huh? That this wouldn't happen?

Jack.

This isn't helping, Jack.

I'm not saying you can fix it. I'm not even saying you should try.

But I know one thing. This isn't helping.

Taking your anger out on her is not going to help anything, babe.

All right?

Be cool.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Now, listen, I have a friend of mine over at the Grace Center here in San

Francisco, and I'm going to send you over there.

Her name's Susie.

I really don't deserve this.

Yes, you do.

Of course you do.

I'm going to help you, and you're going to help me.

Do you know where I can find Jeremiah Fong?

Portsmouth Square.

He's meeting someone there at 3 o 'clock.

All right. You tell Susie that Nash sent you, all right?

Hey, Joe.

Whoa,

whoa, whoa.

Hold your horses there.

End of the line there, Constable Noon. Your deplorable behavior has been a

blight on this man's proud service, you. And who are you?

Staff Sergeant McKay, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, eh?

Are you Bridges? Oh, no, I'm Inspector Dominguez.

Captain Bridges, though, has been singing your praises.

Yeah? Well, I won't be falling for any more of your sugar -coated cuteness. Get

in the back seat there. You're going home, Noon. Let's go, eh? I can't hand

over without Captain Bridges' approval, so why don't you just go inside, okay? I

think not.

Come on, you don't want to strain you with Canadian relations, do you? Come

Well, no tricks, eh?

Oh, no, I promise. Look, we'll just get the paperwork going and he's all yours.

Should take a couple hours tops.

Uh, there's Coco inside.

Come on, men, let's get this done.

Noon? Two hours.

I'm going to hurry up before the cocoa pot runs drunks.

Okay, Pong, end of the line.

Don't do it.

Joe! Drop the bat, Pong, you're done.

Jeff!

your next round of excuses, delays, or whatever other malarkey you got jammed

your sleeve there. Oh, no delays.

He's all yours.

Oh, uh, you might want this, too.

What's this, then?

Oh, that's from the Foots Poaching Network.

Names, dates, addresses.

Uh, you can thank him for it.

Yeah, the Chronicle's running a big, big story on it tomorrow about the breakup

of Fong's ring.

Yeah, and we told them that if the RCMP hadn't agreed to let us keep Constable

Noon for a couple extra days, we might never have broken the case.

I'm gonna tell you what.

You round up even half the names on that list that Constable Jack Noon rounded

up for you, they're liable to make you prime minister. Might even give you a

plaque.

Oh, a plaque.

That's real funny.

Well, let me tell you something. I know exactly what you guys are thinking.

You're thinking I'm just some dumb canuck from up north who doesn't know

first things about the subtleties of a full -on hose job.

Yeah, well, I got news for you. I know exactly when I'm being hosed, and I got

news for you. I am being hosed!

Constable Noon, I expect to see you at work tomorrow morning, 6 a .m. Oh, and

the way, you'll be happy to know that you've been transferred to Moose Jaw,

Saskatchewan.

Well, suppose you got any openings down here, eh?

No way, eh?

Hey, man.

Jack.

Good luck.

Nick?

Did you get the call?

What call? About what?

That.

Are you going to need me for this? Better stick around. I might need a

Hey, Bridges, you want to settle this? Let's settle it.

All right, sure, fine. Why not? Right here. No way to run this time.

Off the books. Just you and me, my dad and him. Yeah, all right.

All right, I've run out of ideas. Help me defuse it. Hold it.

You were on the Arizona?

Signalman third class.

I was on a... when she went down.

No kidding.

I was off your starboard.

Nevada?

I knew a gunner's mate on the Nevada.

Jorgensen. Ollie!

Sure, I knew Ollie.

I'm Monica. I'm Monica, that's it.

Whatever happened to good old Ollie?

Beat the hell out of me.

Let me buy you a beer.

Okay, man. Ollie.

Let that be a lesson to us.

Here you go.

For better or for worse.

Thank you.

It was a tough one, you know.

I've been thinking about what you said.

Hell, I didn't want Kathy to be a cop in the first place. I had much bigger

plans of mine for her.

You sound like my parents.

At least you tried something else.

Yeah, but trust me, delayed rebellion is worse, and it's a lot more expensive.

Well, so tell me, am I going to like what I read in there?

It's fair.

Oops, sorry.

Old habits die hard. You know what, Nash, you did your job.

She's going to be a good cop.

Thanks. Hey, did you get through the latest?

Uh, you found your leak.

Oh, well, Jack found it and Doug fixed it. No, no, no, this is even better.

What? Uh, that you and Rachel are getting a new house together.

What?

Well, the story goes something like this. One night you and Rachel go out

beer, right?

And one thing leads to another. The next thing you know, you guys are doing the

horizontal mambo when her ex -boyfriend walks in and fights you over her honor.

He gives you a black eye. You try to intercede and get your finger broken.

You heard all this. Oh, yeah.

Of course, this all leads to the inevitable shotgun wedding and the new

because you're going to need more room for the new baby.

Wow.

That's amazing.

Cops and gossip.

You guys want to go get a beer?

I'd love to, but we've got to get to the store before it closes, don't we,

Rachel? Yeah, the store's closing in a half an hour.

When's it closing in a half an hour? The baby store.

Shall we? Yeah.
