For one thing, I'm going to be glad

when this assignment is over.

I know what you mean.

What is wrong with people?

They read the newspapers.

I mean, you know, this guy died, and that guy died.

Still they go out and buy the stuff.

If you don't think much of yourself,

you don't care what happens to you.

How you going to stop it?

Start with the kids when they're young, educate 'em.

They can realize they're destroying themselves,

and destroying this country.

And if they don't listen?

Look at history, Mark.

No great civilization was ever destroyed from the outside.

We always manage to do it to ourselves.

Wait a minute.

You're not talking about the end of this country are ya?

I'm afraid I am.

Here's the alleyway.

Let's go.

All right.

Let's see it.

Money first, man.

Hey, come on.

What is that?

I'm just being careful.

Where is it?

You keep your hand out of your coat.

Come on.

I don't care a piece.

Well we do.

MAN: Freeze!

Stay back!

Stay back or I'll blow him away!

I'm telling you, stay back!

Do what he says!

That's right.

You listen to your friend over there.

[gunshots]

I got the stuff.

I got the stuff!

[screaming]

[gunshots]

I got the stuff!

[gunshots]

You're going to sell dope to those kids, huh?

You want to sell 'em dope? Are ya?

- No! - Are ya?

- No! - Are ya?

- No! - Huh?

- Please! - Are you?

- No! - Are you?

Hey, please!

What are you doing?

Tossing another shrimp on the barbie.

MAN: No!

Dude, we got him!

The guns over there under the table.

- Let's go! - You're crazy.

Move it!

He's crazy!

That guy's crazy!

He's crazy!

Hey, buddy, you all right?

I'm all right.

Why wouldn't I be all right?

That was great!

What do you mean great?

You could of gotten yourself killed.

Oh, that's very funny.

Oh, that really feels good when you got the stuff.

What stuff?

What do you mean, what stuff?

The stuff.

You gave me the stuff.

I didn't give you the stuff.

You haven't given me the stuff?

No, I didn't give you the stuff.

What do you mean, you didn't give me the stuff?

You mean the whole time I was chasing that guy around,

the bullets we're going and he was--

Yeah.

Yeah?

I don't feel too good, John.

Come on.

We'll get you packed up.

All right.

How you feeling?

Oh, I'm fine now that my heart is out of my throat

and back in my chest.

You know what I really need right now?

What's that?

I need to get out of this city.

I mean I hope our next assignment is not in the city.

We don't even have the next assignment yet.

We don't?

No.

Well then why don't we just go out somewhere?

Just drive someplace where it's peaceful and quiet?

What do you say?

You got it.

All right!

Hey, I feel better already.

Oh, I love that song.

Love that one.

(SINGING) Riding down the canyon,

he'll watch the sun go down.

A picture that no artist could ever paint.

White faced cattle lowin'.

[barking]

What a day, huh?

What a day.

Couldn't be better.

Aren't you glad we got an early start?

This way we'll get up to lake in time to do some fishing.

Yeah.

You know what's funny?

What?

Well, on the days you have to go to school,

you don't get up until 7:00 and then

your mom has to practically drag you out of bed.

This morning the alarm goes off at 4:00

and you pop out of bed like you were shot from a cannon.

Why do you think that is, do you suppose?

Oh, Dad.

Oh, Dad.

How's it feel, being on your first vacation

without your mom and sister?

Are you kidding?

It's great!

Come on, don't you think you're going

to miss them a little bit?

Mom, yes.

Shawna, no.

Ah, your sister's not that bad.

You wouldn't say that if you were her brother.

She's always pinching and poking and bossing me around.

I sure wish you and mom had me first.

Well, I apologize.

Apology accepted.

All right.

MARK: (SINGING) I got a feeling called the blues

since my baby said goodbye.

And I don't know what I'll do.

All I do is sit and cry.

What a beautiful dream.

I had to think it all over.

I lost my heart it seems.

I've grown so used to you somehow.

And I'm nobody's sugar daddy now.

But I'm lonesome.

I got the love-sick blues.

Boy, you know, there is something about country music

that brings a tear to my eye when I'm singing.

Mine too.

Oh yeah?

Oh yeah.

What'd you do that for?

I just get too emotional when you sing.

Oh. [laughing]

Hey, why don't we stop to get something to eat?

Hey, that's a switch.

I didn't think angels got hungry.

We don't.

I thought you might be hungry.

Hey, that's a really nice, worrying about your old buddy

like that.

Yeah well it's not totally unselfish.

You can't sing while you're chewing.

That's cute, Jonathan.

Cute.

Cute.

God will punish you for that one.

I don't think so.

He's the one that told me to turn off the radio.

Very, very cute.

[honking]

Come on!

Shoo!

[barking]

Boy, shoo!

What a goofy dog.

[barking]

Go on! Go on!

Get off the car!

Go on!

[whimpering]

Go on!

Shoo!

Go on home!

[barking]

Quiet!

[barking]

Shoo, dog.

The dog's going to get itself killed,

standing in the road like that.

[barking]

[whimpering]

What is it with this dog anyway?

He likes you.

You're probably the only other living thing around here

with hair on its face.

[laughing]

[barking]

All right, dog.

Off the car.

Come on. Come on, come on, come on.

There we go.

There we go.

There we go.

Sit. Sit.

Sit. Now stay.

Stay.

Stay.

Let's get out of here before he tries to get inside.

[barking]

And a chocolate milkshake.

No, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

We might want a vanilla.

Oh, what the heck.

Bring me both.

Bring me a chocolate and a vanilla.

OK.

Let me read this back to you.

New York steak, rare, smothered in onions, a side of chilli,

cheeseburger rare with everything,

apple pie, one chocolate shake, one vanilla shake.

That's it.

And you?

No, nothing for me.

I'm afraid we might exceed the load limit on this table.

You got it.

I know what you mean.

I can't believe it's almost a week and still no assignment.

It must be a slow season.

Must be.

Oh, these biscuits are fantastic.

Oh, come on. [laughing]

What is this? - I told you.

He likes you.

Oh great, great.

Would you mind getting down off the table?

I mean, maybe he's hungry.

Well it doesn't look like he's missed many meals.

Well neither do you but you're still hungry.

I'm going to take you outside so I can eat in peace.

Now come on.

Come on.

Come on.

MAN: Look out!

Oh my Lord!

Oh!

Anybody hurt?

Oh!

No, no, no.

What happened, Earl?

Cable stuck.

Thank God no one was sitting at that table.

Oh.

You boys must have an angel looking after you.

Very true.

Come on.

Come on, I'll set you up in the other room.

No, uh, uh, I've kind of lost my appetite.

Oh, I can't say as I blame you.

What a mess.

I think I'm going to get some air.

You all right?

Yeah.

A little shaky.

I mean, that was close.

You don't know it, doggie, but you just saved our lives.

Your life.

What?

Oh yeah, my life.

Hey, you, you forgot your hat.

Oh, thanks.

You know who owns this dog?

I've never seen him.

Does he have a tag?

No.

You know, I almost hit him in the road over there.

I hate leaving him out here.

Bobby Washburn's a veterinarian

around here, right down the road, oh, about a half mile

on the right.

He might know the dog.

Yeah.

We'll take him down there.

Well I'm sure glad you're all right, guys.

Come on, boy.

Best I can do is get you on home.

[barking]

Come on!

Come on!

[barking]

Come on.

We're going to take you to your master.

[barking]

Nope.

Nope, never seen him before.

MARK: Are there any other vets close by?

Not a one.

I'm it until you get to Ferndale.

That's 70 miles north.

Excuse me.

Quiet!

[barking stops]

How'd you do that?

Oh, just a knack I have.

Had it since I was a kid.

I wised it work for my children.

Well, my guess is this old dog was

with some folks passing through and got himself

separated from them somehow.

So what do we do now?

Well, if he was my dog and I wanted to find him,

I check with the local vet first.

Hey, that's right.

Could he stay here in case they show up?

Sure.

You'll have to pay his boarding fee though.

MARK: No problem there.

Don't think it's worthwhile to keep

him more than a couple of days.

If they don't come looking by then, they ain't coming.

Well let's make it three days, just to be sure.

DR. WASHBURN: It's your money.

That'll be $36 bucks.

$36.

DR. WASHBURN: The end of three days

I'll call animal regulation.

They'll pick him up.

OK.

Well, sure hope they find you, old buddy.

[whimpering]

Hey, I'm doing this for your own good.

OK?

Goodbye.

Thank you.

[whimpering]

MARK: That dog was crying like crazy.

I sure hope his owner finds him.

You want some music?

Nah, I'm not in the mood.

Worried about that old dog, aren't ya?

Yeah.

I mean, if nobody shows up they're going to take

that dog to the shelter.

Then there for a couple of days and then adios him.

Nobody's going to want to adopt a big old dog like that.

Everybody wants puppies.

Well like I said, we're just hanging around for a few days,

waiting for an assignment.

We could stay here and see what happens.

What'll that do?

If nobody shows up, he goes to the shelter.

You're not going to let 'em adios that old dog.

That's an old dog that saved your life.

You can't let 'em put him to sleep.

Well, he can't come with us.

Why not?

What?

I said, why not?

What do you-- you mean it'd all right with

the boss if he tagged along?

He's one of God's creatures.

I don't think he'd want it any other way.

All right!

All right!

Let's-- let's come back and get us a place!

All right!

RADIO BASEBALL ANNOUNCER: Now he'll go

against the left-hander here.

So trying to give the Dodgers a lead in the eighth inning

today in a 1-1 tie.

Wright goes set.

Oh, afternoon.

Oh, what can I do for you?

Well, we want to rent a cab.

Hallelujah!

Aggie!

Customers!

The wife will be right out.

You going to take him out of there or not?

Even an old man like me a man can manage

a ball team better than that.

Hello.

Can I help you? - Yes, ma'am.

We want to rent a cabin for three days.

Just the two of you?

Yes, ma'am.

Just sign the register right over here.

I'm Aggie Morrison.

Mark Gordon.

This is my friend Jonathan Smith.

Please.

It's $30 a day for two, and that includes

a good homemade breakfast.

That sounds fair enough.

Grandma!

AGGIE: Be right there, Chris.

I got all the cookies on the sheet.

Can I put 'em in the oven myself?

No, you can't.

You just wait a few minutes.

Oh, Grandma.

I'll be careful.

AGGIE: I know you will.

Because I'll be there when you put 'em in.

All right.

Can I lick the batter out of the bowl?

Well, it wouldn't be worth making cookies if you didn't.

Thanks, Grandma.

Follow me.

RADIO BASEBALL ANNOUNCER: --since 1975.

MARK: Cute little guy.

AGGIE: My grandson, lives with us in the summer.

Good for him.

He usually lives in the city.

JONATHAN: He mus love it.

AGGIE: Oh, yeah.

Room to run, animals to feed.

We got a lot too.

Probably wouldn't know it, the way he stays glued to that TV.

But my husband's blind.

The only business we get's in the summer.

And the boy really pitches in.

JONATHAN: Make him feel good to know he's needed.

AGGIE: Ah, yeah.

He's been feeling down the last few days.

Fell in love with the stray been hanging around.

The dog up and ran away a few days ago.

He'll get over it.

It wouldn't happen to be a big old brown dog, would it?

We picked up one on the highway.

No.

I wish it was.

Boy do I. Looks like everybody's

having dog troubles.

Hey, this is nice.

Oh, it's not fancy, but it's clean.

Overall I think it's the best cabin we've got.

It'll be just fine, Mrs. Morrison.

Oh, call me Aggie.

OK.

Breakfast is between 7:00 and 8:00,

hot cakes, sausage, eggs, and homemade blueberry muffins.

Woo.

You make me wish the sun was coming

up instead of going down.

Love a man with an appetite.

Well, you took it in the right boarder.

AGGIE: Well.

Now if you need anything extra, towels and such, just stop up.

- Thank you. - OK.

See you.

All right.

Don't you think I'm nut?

Why?

I don't know, worrying about that old dog like this.

Hey, that's what makes you the kind of person you are, friend.

That's why we're together.

Larry?

Larry.

Larry.

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

Larry!

Son!

Larry!

Shawna!

Shawna!

- You called me, Ma? - Yes!

I'm going to call right now.

You want to say hello?

OK, but just to Dad.

All right.

But turn the music down first.

You know I hate it that loud.

Yes, Mother.

[phone ringing]

Baskin's Lodge.

Lowell speaking.

Glazer, uh, let me check.

Sorry, they haven't checked in yet.

Well, they probably stopped off someplace along the way.

I'll leave a message and have 'em call you when he gets in.

Our pleasure.

Bye bye.

Finished already?

I wanted to say hi to Dad.

They haven't gotten there yet.

I can't imagine what's taking them so long.

Mother, stop looking so worried.

I'm sure they can get along without us.

Well I know that.

I just wonder why they haven't gotten there yet.

Well, you know my little brother.

Dad probably had to stop 50 times

so he could go to the bathroom.

Now come on.

You ought to start getting ready.

It's not every day we get to go out to dinner without the men.

All right.

I'll get ready.

But I don't want to leave until your father calls first.

I left a message.

Mother, I don't believe it.

[whimpering]

Ah!

Hey, take it easy.

It's just a dog.

That's easy for you to say.

You don't have Cujo give you your wake up call.

How'd you get here?

Well the question is, how did he find you?

I don't know.

I tell you what.

I'm going to give that Washburn a what-for tomorrow.

What kind of a place is he running, letting a dog

like this get loose?

Lucky for him he found me.

Mark, that's what I just asked you.

How did he find you?

I don't know.

[clock chiming]

I made you some more tea.

I'm going to call again.

Maybe they forgot to give them the message.

Or-- or maybe they were so tired they thought

they'd wait till morning.

This is Mrs. Glaser again.

I-- they haven't?

I see.

Yes, of course.

No, I don't think they'd stay anywhere else.

What the hell do I care if you hold the room or not?

Mom?

I'm getting scared.

They're all right.

They're going to be all right.

Police department please.

Let's grab some breakfast, then we'll

head over to that Washburn.

[whimpering]

Will you get away from that door?

You're not going anywhere.

Oh, you're not going taking him with us?

Back to Washburn? Are you crazy?

I don't trust him.

I'll just give him a number and he

can call if anybody shows up.

Well, what are we driving over there for?

Why don't you just call him from here and tell him then?

Because I want to see what kind of excuse

he's got for letting that dog loose, that's what.

[bark]

Dog, come on!

Oh, you really are one weird dog, you know that?

The forest ranger station put out an alert this morning

to watch out for squirrels.

Several rabies-carrying animals were caught in traps

in the past couple of days.

Campers should be cautious and those animals

should not be fed.

Continuing on the local scene-- - Good morning.

Oh!

You boys sleep well?

Like a bug in a rug.

Oh, that's good.

Go in there and get something to eat.

Aggie's a good cook.

I guarantee that.

I got my mouth watering already.

TV NEW ANNOUNCER: --a must win situation

when they meet tonight.

We have this in from the Bear Valley Station now.

A father and son are missing in the Bear Valley area.

35-year-old Harvey Glazer of Appleton

and his 10-year-old son Larry were reported missing

on their way to Baskin's Lodge.

Helicopters began their search at daybreak.

This photograph of Mr. Glaser and his son

was supplied to us by the local sheriff's office.

If anyone has seen them, please notify the Bear

Valley Sheriff's Station.

Now back to sports, in the National League,

the Dodgers had a big day out at Chavez-Ravine.

We've covered this area.

It's helicopter 13 reporting.

Negative on section C6.

We're moving on to section C7.

Let's go.

[barking]

Morning.

Didn't expect to see you guys back here.

Well, we just wanted to check on the old dog one more time.

Yeah, well, uh, he got lucky.

They came by right after you left and picked him up.

They did, huh?

Well yeah.

You're lying.

I've got the dog.

He's in our cabin.

He came by last night.

Oh.

Well thank God.

I'm sorry I lied about it, but I felt so bad.

Well you should have!

What kind of a place you're running here anyhow,

letting an old dog like that get loose?

What'd you do, forget to close the gate?

No, I didn't!

His kennel was locked up tight!

Believe me, this has never happened before.

Look at that fence.

Now how you going to figure a dog,

especially that big old dog, could

climb over a fence that high?

Oh, come on, Washburn.

You expect me to buy that?

He's telling the truth.

How do you know?

Oh.

Yeah.

Uh, well, OK, I'm-- look, I'm sorry I got on your case.

That's all right.

I don't blame you.

Look, this is where we're staying.

We'll be there for a couple of days.

Now if those people don't come by,

we're taking the dog with us.

OK.

I'll call you if anybody turns up.

Again, I'm sorry, especially about lying to you.

Yeah, it's all right.

I still do not believe that that old dog got over that fence.

You sure he's not lying?

Mark.

All right, all right, all right.

I didn't say anything. I didn't say a thing.

[barking]

Oh!

Hiya, boy!

What's the matter, huh?

I know.

I'll bet you're hungry.

Tell you what, I'll get something to eat.

OK?

I'll be right back.

My wife's at the post office.

She'll be right back.

Anybody there?

And now the world in local news at noon.

CHRIS: Hey, I'm back.

I got you some great looking bones.

I got 'em for my dog Dudley but it looks

like he isn't coming back.

[barking]

Hey!

Get back in there!

[barking]

Come on, boy.

Look, bones.

They're real good.

Come on.

[barking]

Hey!

Please don't run away!

I'll get in trouble.

Come on, look!

That's right.

Come on.

[barking]

Look.

Oh no.

Come back!

Come back!

Please!

Please, come back!

AGGIE: Chris, I want your home now!

Christopher!

Christopher!

Hi, Aggie.

You two haven't seen Christopher, have you?

No, we just pulled in.

Probably out looking for that dog again.

Any luck?

No.

He'll be home soon though.

Well, I'll leave a picture with you.

If you've seen anything, you be sure and call me.

What's up?

There's a father and son missing.

We're checking all the places they might have stopped.

We've combed the area by air but no luck yet.

Jonathan, that's him.

MAN: You've seen him?

MARK: Not the father and son, the dog.

He's up there in my cabin.

We picked him up on the highway.

MAN: Where abouts?

Six or seven miles north of town.

Mark, that's what he was trying to do.

He was trying to lead us to them.

It must be a sign of something.

What, fellas?

What are you two talking about?

Never mind.

Let's-- let's get the dog.

He'll lead us to 'em.

How long they been missing?

We got the first call last night, about midnight.

All that time wasted.

What's going on here?

I locked this door.

He's gone. Damn it!

How'd that door get open?

It must have been Chris.

These bones, they're from our fridge.

The boy must have brought 'em to feed the dog.

I'll get some units up here.

We're going to start looking.

Boss tell you where they are?

No, not a thing.

MARK: I don't get it.

Neither do I.

Listen, we better start looking.

JONATHAN: All right.

You see Chris, your tell him to get home this minute!

MARK: Yeah, we will.

[barking]

CHRIS: Please don't run away!

I'll get in trouble!

Come back!

Please, come back!

[barking]

Dudley!

Dudley, boy!

[barking]

Dudley.

Dudley, it's me.

[barking]

Dudley, don't be mad.

It's me, OK?

Don't-- it's OK.

[growling]

No!

Please stop!

No!

Stop!

Stop it!

Please!

[growling and barking]

Listen.

Down here.

[barking]

You all right?

My dog, Dudley, he was crazy.

He scared me.

He was rabid, son.

He would have died anyway.

It's a good thing he didn't get to you.

[barking]

We know now, Boy.

Chris, you go on home.

Tell your grandma we found the dog.

Go on!

Come on, boy.

You lead the way.

[barking]

Larry.

Lar-- Larry.

Take it easy.

It'll be all right.

My son.

My son.

He's going to make it all right.

[helicopter whirring]

Hey!

Over here!

Hey!

They saw me.

Help's on the way.

Thank God.

I didn't think anyone would ever find us.

The helicopter flew over so many times but couldn't see us.

Never would have found you if it hadn't been for your dog.

Boomer.

What do you mean?

He's the one that led us here.

Not Boomer.

Yeah, Boomer, the one in the picture with you

two that the sheriff had.

No, it couldn't have been Boomer.

He's dead.

[ambulance siren]

Yeah, they're on their way.

They'll be there in about 30 minutes.

The medic says it looks good.

They're pretty dehydrated and they got a few breaks,

but it's nothing that won't heal in time.

Thank God.

That dog you said you saw, I guess it must have

been one that look like theirs.

Yeah, I guess so.

You know it sure is amazing, you

finding them under that tree.

We could have looked for months and never spotted 'em.

It's like a miracle.

MARK: You're telling me.

Would you like me to have the boys look for that dog

you lost?

It's the least we can do after all this.

No, that's very kind of you.

I have a feeling he's probably home by now.

Good enough.

And thanks again.
