Tonight's episode, Canine Collar.

Nice lady.

There you

go.

Great lady.

Excuse me. I'm looking for Mr. Montague.

You're from Hillsdale Animal Hospital?

Yes, sir. Yes, Mr.

Montague had to go ashore for a few
moments. I'll take you to the dog.

All right.

Don't forget the booster shots.

And Mr. Montague wants her to get a
general checkup. He's very fond of his

He thought this might encourage your
special attention.

Oh, yes, sir. Thank you. And your name?

Conrad, sir.

Conrad. All right.

He was the only passenger to board in
Juneau, Lieutenant.

Then all the rest of them made the round
trip. San Francisco to Alaska and then

back. People don't journey by ship
anymore. We're just a floating hotel.

Did you ever happen to meet the victim?
If I did, I certainly don't remember.

Through here, please.

This is his passport.

Jean -Claude Tabureau. Jean -Claude
Tabureau, a French name.

But a Danish passport. It's not uncommon
in Europe.

Would he have any other luggage?

If he did, it would have been placed in
the corridor before midnight and already

be ashore. I'll check with the steward.
Please.

Booked passage two months ago in the
cruise line's Hong Kong office. Came

with a dog, a white poodle.

Well, that's the reason for this. Well,
where's the dog?

And where's the killer?

Where's the motive?

And where are the boys from the lab?

Do they have a kennel on board? I
checked it. He took the dog out around

midnight. Well, that means the dog was
here when the Frenchman was killed.

All right, I want all his luggage sealed
and tagged.

I want the steward's name and address. I
want a list of all the passengers and

the crew.

I want to know when and where that
Frenchman was last seen alive.

Right.

Oh, wait a minute.

Do you know how many passengers are on a
ship like this?

Yes.

We'll have to talk to about three or
four hundred.

That is, if we skip the crew.

Hello?

Yeah, the giant schnauzer.

Tina's just finishing with him.

Okay.

Chop -chop. The dog's father awaits.

Hey, chop -chop yourself.

Okay.

Don't you look beautiful?

Don't you look beautiful?

There you go.

Are you mad at me?

Oh, I didn't mean to keep you here.

Come on, we'll go home.

Okay, we'll go home. Come on.

Yep.

This one looks to me as though it's
going to be a lot of headaches.

Murder on the high seas.

Maybe we'll just have to sail with her.

You know, take the cruise ourselves in
order to properly investigate.

You'd like that, wouldn't you? Well,
just forget it. Come here and take a

at this.

Taboro, born in Algeria, citizen of
England and Denmark, traveled on a ship

Alaska, killed in international waters,
and discovered right here in our own

city, San Francisco.

Sounds like a little United Nations.

Mike, this just came over the wire.
Interpol? Yeah.

It's pretty interesting.

Do you remember that bank vault that got
blown in southern France about five,

six months ago?

Yeah. Yeah, they tunneled into the
sewer.

Right. Well, Interpol's been watching
your Frenchman. They think he's moving

some of the merchandise.

Diamonds. A fence?

Smuggler. Let me see that.

He keeps a low profile, but he's been at
it since the end of the war.

Ah, come on.

I want to take a look at that luggage
again.

Fincher Paul's been watching them. How
come they dropped the ball in Juneau?

They've been watching them for a long
time.

A month ago.

Uh -oh.

Nothing. What nothing?

A motive.

The Frenchman was killed for what was in
here.

He's been smuggling for 30 years. He
should have picked up some savvy.

Now, let's see.

He wouldn't have been carrying the
diamonds on himself, so where would he

them?

Has the captain found that dog yet? Not
yet.

My guess is the jewels are either on the
dog or in him.

Huh. What?

Her. It's a girl dog.

Doesn't miss a thing.

There it is. Duplicate collar.

Interpol tell you the value of those
diamonds?

Six million francs.

Six million. So what's that?

Twenty cents on the dollar.

Twenty -fifth. Million two.

Million two.

That's a heavy collar.

That means we're looking for a killer
and a dog.

And they're both maybe smugglers.

So where do we start?

There's over 400 passengers and crew,
and they ship sails at noon tomorrow.

Yes, Mrs. Brown, I understand, but it
has to be through the night.

Look, if you can't get the pills down,
the cat, bring him over, and I'll do it

for you, okay?

Good.

Dr. Mercurius.

You're the doctor?

Oh, no, no, no. I'm here for Mr.

Montague's poodle.

Oh, right, from the ship. I had ordered
a medicated bath. She should be ready.

Conrad?

She's a beauty. Yeah.

I think you have the wrong caller.

I do?

Oh, yeah, um... Yours was one of the
jeweled ones, wasn't it?

Yes, it had her rabies tag and her
license.

Yeah, I'll bet you I know what happened.

The phone rang, and I can almost
guarantee you that it's on a giant

that belongs to a man named Weber.

In the neighborhood?

Yeah, I think so. Listen, let me give
him a call.

I'm sure I got his number here
somewhere.

Yeah, here it is. It's Paul Weber, and
he's close by.

What's the address?

445 Park Presidio.

Uh, no answer.

I don't think he's home yet.

Why don't I leave the dog here a while
longer, and I'll call on Mr. Webber.

Oh, all right. Listen, I'm sorry about
this. It's okay.

Are you sure it's the same dog?

Yes, sir.

The white poodle. It belonged to the
Frenchman. I walked it several times,

I said.

Where was the van parked?

Over there.

I was helping Mrs. Trimble down the
plank when it pulled away.

Did the dog look sick?

No. Maybe it was going for boarding.
Sometimes that's arranged beforehand,

know. But it was from a pet hospital,
right?

Oh, yes, sir.

I'm sorry I can't remember the name, but
I remember it said Animal Hospital on

the side of the van.

You're sure it said Animal Hospital?
Yes.

All right. Thank you very much. Yes,
sir.

So we checked pet hospitals.

You got it.

Joe. Hey, baby.

You glad to be home, huh?

Didn't like that hospital food, did you,
huh?

That's okay. I'll fix you something
special for lunch, huh?

Hey,

what'd you do, boy? Swap collars, huh?

I bet you it was a cute lady, huh?

Don't worry.

We'll give them a call as soon as we get
home, okay? Come on.

Giant Schnauzer hit by a car. Corner
Folsom and Bessie.

Okay, I'm a few blocks from there.

Bye.

Yes. This is Inspector Dan Robbins, San
Francisco PD.

Trying to locate a white poodle that
came in on the cruise liner Monterey

morning.

Dog was picked up by a van at Pier 35.

Came in on the Monterey this morning,
Pier 35.

Uh -huh.

What's that?

She's there now.

Did you say she?

Good.

Tell Dr. Mercurius that we're on our
way, and if anyone comes to pick up that

dog... Tell him to stall as much as he
can.

Hillsdale Animal Hospital.

Thank you very much for your help, but
we just found it.

Her.

What? It's a her.

Remember?

That's right.

Hey. Hey, you know, I've been thinking.

Maybe the Betts is just a drop.

A killer sends the dog there and
somebody else comes to pick him up. I

pick her up.

Either way, we're ahead.

Well, there's someone here until 6 o
'clock.

You're welcome.

Yes, sir, can I help you? I'm here for a
friend of mine, Mr. Weber.

He and his dog were in an accident about
an hour ago, and the dog was brought

here.

Weber, let's check.

Roger, I'm sorry.

The dog didn't make it.

Are you sure?

It's a giant schnauzer, right?

Yes. Sorry.

Could you tell me where the dog is now?

Well, yeah, he'd be in the back.

Well, when we know who the owner is, we
can't dispose of the body until we have

permission. Say, I wonder if you'd ask
Mr. Weber to call us about Rex.

Of course.

Thank you.

Uh, Rex?

Is that what you called him?

That's what it says here.

That's funny. I thought his name was
Lex.

Mr., uh...

Spears, Fred Spears.

Mr. Spears, I'm not sure we're talking
about the same dog.

I wonder if I could see him, just to
make sure.

Well, you'll have to talk to the vet,
Dr. Thompson.

Die with grace.

Animals do it so much better than
humans.

We cry coming and going.

Take all that fuss.

Is the dog dead when he got here,
Doctor?

No. He died on my table.

Did what I could, but never woke up.

Is that your friend's dog?

Yes, I think so. He should have a
collar.

I don't remember any collar.

Oh, he had one.

Fred, did you remove it?

No, Doctor.

Well, maybe you've forgotten. How else
would you know the dog's name?

Andy, I guess. He probably told me.

Who?

Andy Wilson.

The driver who picked him up. He works
at West End.

Maybe he took the collar off to make the
dog more comfortable.

Mister, I'm telling you, that's the same
dog.

There.

The lungs are good.

The heart's known.

Everything's known.

A dog can't be more than about two years
old.

How would diamonds show up in the X
-ray? It doesn't matter. They're not in

dog. Doctor, is Tabudo a regular
customer of yours?

Who? The dog's owner.

I don't remember that name.

No, the owner is Mr.

Jane Montague. He called from the ship,
asked us to pick up the dog. This dog at

the pier and arranged for her booster
shots.

Montague, check the ship's list for that
name.

Yeah. You talked to a Montague?

One of the ship's officers, I think. I
didn't get an address.

Did he have a French accent?

No. I don't think so.

He's not on the passenger list.

I don't understand.

As I told you, there was a man here
earlier from the ship. He said he came

Mr. Montague's dog.

Was it the same man who talked to you
about the mix -up in the dog collars?

Yes. My assistant told him it had to be
on Mr. Webber's dog.

Describe him.

Tall, maybe 6 '2", about 30, 35.

Sandy hair, blue eyes, I think.

How was he dressed?

Slacks, sport jacket.

Neatly dressed.

Now all we need is Mr. Webber's address.

445 Park Presidio, but he isn't home. I
asked my secretary to buzz us if he

should answer his phone.

But listen, Lieutenant, I'm not sure.

But the man who called from the ship, I
think he did have a slight accent. Not

French, though.

Swedish or Norwegian.

Like the man who came for the poodle?

Yes.

Thank you.

And I don't care where we are. Our radio
phones can connect us with any place on

Earth. Do you keep a record of each
call?

Oh, yeah, that's standard procedure.

Billing, tax purposes.

We're trying to figure out who placed a
call to San Francisco yesterday morning.

That's no problem. You have the number?

Dan.

It was to a vet hospital.

Hillsdale Animal Hospital. I don't have
to look that one up. That would be Olaf.

Thor Olafson.

Ship's purser. It was the only call he
made.

Is he a tall guy, sandy -haired, blue
-eyed?

With a worried kind of anxious look?

Yeah, that's Olaf.

What was he worried about?

Olaf is... You know how a bell captain
in a hotel always knows where the action

is? No girls gambling.

Well, on these cruise ships, the purser
fills that role.

If there's anything going on, and I mean
anything, the purser knows.

What about smuggling?

What about it? Will you get involved
that way?

Well, that depends.

We all have a bit of greed, even me, you
know what I mean?

Yes, I know what you mean.

Let's stick with Olison for a while,
shall we?

Look, fellas, he's a friend of mine.

Was he a friend of the Frenchman's?

I don't know.

Well, I guess they knew each other. I
mean, I saw him talking a couple of

on the trip.

What else?

Well, there's really nothing much I can
tell you. I mean, all I can say is that

Olaf has been on these ships for 17
years.

I mean, he spent half his life on these
ships. He's gone as far as he can go.

I mean, so he's, uh, he's looking for
something, you know, an out.

Big money.

Fast and easy.

He told you as much?

Well, only to me.

You know, we're kind of drinking
buddies.

Look, I, uh, I know about the stabbing.

But Olaf wouldn't do that.

Not for a million dollars.

What about a million two?

What does he do back on board?

8 o 'clock tomorrow morning.

8 o 'clock.

Now, the cruise line ought to have a
picture of him. We'll pick that up.

Come on, Dan. Let's put on an APB on
Olofsson.

No, I'm just a friend of his. Mr. Webber
would like to know if you have the dog

and if he's all right.

Yes.

Just a minute.

It's Dr.

Thompson at the animal shelter, and he
wants to talk to you.

Dr. Thompson?

It's Paul Weber.

How's Rex?

Dr. Thompson?

Oh, yes.

No, no, well, uh...

We'll pick him up and make the
arrangements ourselves. Thank you.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what to say to you.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'm not going to cry over it.

I know how much you loved him, baby.

That's why I love you.

Come on, that's good.

Go ahead.

This is Unit 7 on that accident report
in front of 1838 Carlton.

The guy may have said he knew me, but
there's nothing around here, so I'm

to cruise the neighborhood just in case,
and then I'm on my way home.

Okay, Andy.

Andy Wilson?

Yeah, you the guy that called?

Drive.

Hey, look, Mr. Drive.

It's about evenly divided between dogs
and cats, but we do have monkeys,

rabbits, hamsters, even a few turtles.

It's really very pretty, Mr. McAllister.

You're welcome to roam as long as you
want, and the grounds are always open.

I want to get on a headstone.

We can help you with that when you pick
out a coffin.

But, you know, reasonable, you know.
Some of these things are bigger than I'd

want for myself.

It's only a dog.

How long has the cemetery been here?

About 35 years.

Now, this is the plot I showed you on
the map.

You look around. Take your time.

I'll wait for you in the reception hall.

Thank you.

So, what do you think?

I don't know, babe.

It's up to you.

I'm just your friendly neighborhood
lady.

All right.

Sit.

Excuse me, Mr. Weber?

Yes. Mike Stone, San Francisco Police.

And you're, uh... Betty Richland. What
is it? Something about the accident?

Partially, yes.

One of your clerks at your store told us
about the dog and where you were.

I see.

Yesterday, you had your dog at the
Hillsdale Animal Hospital for a... What

it? A medicated bath?

It's close. I always take him there.

Only this time, one of the attendants
mixed up the dog collars.

That's right. I was going to call him
about it when we got hit.

Hey, look, what's this all about?

Mr. Weber, was your dog wearing that
collar when he was hurt?

Yeah, so what?

Well, you see, that collar could be tied
into a murder investigation.

What?

What are you talking about?

Would you be kind enough to describe
that collar?

Look, I really didn't get a good look at
it. You know what I mean?

It's just a collar. One of those fancy
fake jewel things.

Rhinestones.

Yeah, I guess.

Have you ever seen this man before?

No. Mike!

I'll be right there.

Thank you, Mr. Weber.

I'm going to have to pick up that collar
for evidence. You understand, don't

you? Yeah, sure.

Bye.

What is it? It's Tanner.

We've got another homicide. Would you
believe it, dog catcher?

What? A driver for one of the SPCA
emergency units out on Pier 45.

Tanner, give me the time of death.

Sometime late yesterday.

It's another stabbing, Mike. Only this
time we've got a witness, a sailor.

Hold on to him.

Then check the animal shelter and find
out if the murder victim picked up a

schnauzer belonging to a man named
Weber.

How long ago?

Yesterday. Hit by a truck.

You think it's Olison?

I don't know. It's a long shot.

But he's the only one I know who's
chasing a million -dollar dog collar.

What about you and me?

Come on, will you?

Let's go.

Didn't say he was beaten.

And cut.

A lot.

Whoever did it wanted some information.

What else?

I checked with the shelter. You called
it right.

The deceased did pick up that black
schnauzer yesterday.

The shelter says the last they heard
from him, he'd responded to an emergency

call, but it was a no -show.

Or a trap.

Yeah.

Where's the witness?

Over here.

His name's Walachi.

No papers, no money, no English, and,
well, at least not much.

What did he do, jump ship?

That's the way I piece it together.

It's a Russian registry, but I think
he's a Pole.

Mr. Wallachie, this is Lieutenant Stone
of Homicide.

Lieutenant. Hello.

I want you to tell me what you saw.

A man.

Big.

With a knife.

Did you see him kill?

Yes.

Describe him.

What did he look like?

This the man?

Yes, that him.

Olofsson? Yeah.

The Monterey sale's at noon.

Is your man on it?

Not since the last time we checked.

Thank you.

Oh, Mike?

The man's here illegally.

Well... Think of him as a political
refugee.

Send him over to the Polish -American
Seaman's Association.

They'll take care of him. Whatever you
say.

Thank you.

What kind of a human being would murder
a boy like Andy?

But then, all the barriers have been
blown away, haven't they? So help us get

this one.

How can I help?

Weber's dog, Rex.

Andy brought him in.

Yes, that would be Andy. Did the dog
have a collar?

I don't know. I simply don't know. All
this fuss about a collar. What is it,

solid gold?

Was there somebody else asking you about
that collar?

Doctor, come on.

He even asked where he could find Andy.
What did he look like?

A tall man, very muscular, about 35.

Do you have a name?

I don't remember the names of people.

It's some kind of an accent.

German, I think. Or Swedish.

Well, that could be.

Is that the man?

Well, I don't know.

Yes,

I think so.

Dr. Thompson, did anyone else come into
contact with the dog besides yourself?

Oh, how would I know? All kinds of
people coming in and out here all day

trying to find their pets, buy new ones.

Health inspector was in here yesterday.

Delivery people, my assistants.

Children.

Lots of kids.

Doctor, my picture, please.

Well, leave a number. If I find a
collar, I'll call you.

Well, will you come to the dog show?

Okay, okay, I'll think about it.

Come on, you're just saying that.

Did I ever tell you about Baron?

See, I was 12 when he disappeared, and
they had to send me home from school

because I couldn't stop crying.

It was the first time I ever lost
anything that I loved.

Now you're going to tell me how you got
another dog and you loved that one just

as much, right?

Just give it a try. I mean, if it
doesn't work, Paul, it doesn't work. I

for 13 years. I don't need another dog.

Okay.

Then would you stop moping around like
it was the end of the world?

Betty, when my wife died of cancer, I
didn't run out and buy another one.

No, you didn't.

Maybe you should have after a time.

Betty, wait.

I'm sorry.

All right. I'll go with you.

Okay.

Dr.

Thompson.

I saw that collar on the dog when your
driver took him from the accident.

You already said that. He brought it
here.

Well, I'm afraid I can't help you. It
came here, and it never left.

You had since yesterday to hide that
collar.

Why would I want to do a thing like
that? They're diamonds.

Doctor, there's a million dollars there,
maybe more.

Now, either you or one of your people
have it.

But you're wrong. Now, that door made
it.

Now, to kill you would mean nothing. So
you tell me.

So you're sure he's not hitting the
board?

All right, Captain. Thank you very much.

Yeah, we'll let you know.

Yeah, bon voyage.

That was Captain Gregory.

Monterey just pulled away without
Olofsson. They had to sign on a new

That means he's still in the city.

And no way to trace him. He's got no
friends, family, or known hangouts in

Bay Area.

Did you check the St. Francis?

Yeah, he stayed there for two weeks last
summer, but he hasn't registered since.

At least not in his own name. What's all
the scribbling?

Scribbling, that's a chart.

Now, the collar was on the dog when it
was on the ship.

From there, I went over to the Hillsdale
Animal Hospital where some attendant

got the collars all mixed up and put it
on a dog belonging to Mr. Weber.

Now, that dog was in an accident. The
truck hit it.

And I'm sure the collar was on the dog
when it was in that accident.

Which means Olofsson must have witnessed
the accident and then followed the SPCA

truck back to the animal shelter.

And the guy that was driving the SPCA
truck was Andy Wilson.

I'm sure he didn't have possession of
that dog more than, oh, I'd say 20

minutes.

And then from there, he went to Dr.
Thompson.

Who doesn't remember ever seeing the
collar?

If he's telling the truth.

Oh, he's telling the truth. I believe
him.

Anybody could have stolen that collar at
the animal shelter. An attendant,

receptionist, anybody at all.

If Andy Wilson took it, he paid a high
price for it.

Homicide stoned.

When did it happen?

All right, we're coming right over.

The animal shelter.

Somebody tried to kill Dr. Thompson.

See you later, honey.

Okay, come here, girl.

That's it, that's it. Oh, that's my good
girl, yeah.

You gonna win the show today, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Best of breed, that's what you are.

That's the best of breed.

That's my girl.

Follow that blue station wagon.

Was it Olofsson?

Yeah. He's crazy. He's gone after
Spears. Who?

And my assistant, he thinks he has the
collar. I'm going to get the address.

No, no, no, wait, wait.

He's not at home.

I let him off early today to go to a dog
show. Where?

The Cow Palace. The Cow Palace. Come on,
let's go.

Pick up your armbands in ring number
five.

Listen, I got you here. You might as
well pretend you're having a good time.

How do you put up with me?

Oh, you puppies got to be housebroken.

Candy, come on now. Hold still.

Yeah, you're going to be on in a few
minutes.

That's a good girl.

Irish setters to ring number one,
please.

Bassets, pick up your armbands and ring
number two.

Proof judging will begin at 4 .30.

Stay.

Stay.

Good girl. Stay.

That's a good girl. Stay.

Stay. Good girl.

Stay, girl. Stay.

Stay.

What happened? She met up with the wrong
guy?

That's why they're free.

You can take your pick.

They're just darling. How old are they?
Six weeks.

So?

What do you think?

I think you're pushing me.

You got it.

I'll think about it.

Thanks.

Come on, let's watch the show.

Thank you.

Oh, come on.

Okay, girl, we'll win next time, okay?

Come on, girl.

Yeah, we'll win it next time.

It's a spirit.

Oh, it's you.

Sorry it didn't win.

Yeah, well, maybe next time.

Nice looking dog.

What's his name?

It's her, Candy.

Candy. Hello, Candy.

It's a pretty collar.

Thank you.

Listen, nice to see you. I've got to get
home.

You had it all along, didn't you?

What? The collar.

You stole it for yourself.

Look, mister, I don't know what you're
talking about.

Hey, hand me over that collar. It's
mine.

Hey, mister, look, I don't want any
trouble.

It's mine.

Are you crazy?

You're under arrest, mister, for murder.

What's the matter with you?

He didn't kill your dog. Take it easy.

Let's go.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

I guess I am now. All right, folks,
that's all. Go back.

Come on, go back. It's all over.

We're the police. Go back to the show.

Come on.

That's it.

This collar doesn't belong to you, does
it?

Oh, sure.

It's just stolen property.

I know where it came from.

Now, if you don't want to get involved
in a murder case, well, you'd better

it to me.

It's just a pretty collar.

I didn't think anyone would care.

When you take something from somebody
that doesn't belong to you, someone

cares.

Do you know that that man was ready to
kill you for it?

What I don't understand is why would he
pick my hospital?

Well, it's because you're only a few
blocks away from the pier.

I'm sure he must have walked by here
many times before.

How you doing, huh? What's wrong with
you? Ringworm. But he's been cured.

What are you looking?

Want to get a pet?

I don't know. Inspector, dogs have a
great need for love and companionship.

you married?

No, he's not married. No. And you're not
home very much, are you? No, he's not

home much at all. I guess that's true.

Then why don't you wait a bit? I don't
