Original subtitles

[Max] This is my boss, Jonathan hart.

A self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous.

She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max. I take care of both of them,

which ain't easy.

'Cause when they met, it was murder.

[Theme song playing]

[Ambient music playing]

[Ambient music continues]

[Mariachi music playing]

[Tense music playing]

[Tense music playing]

[Door knocking]

Ah, buenos dias.

[Speaking Spanish]

Come in.

The plane leaves in an hour.

Is momo's little house ready?

Right on schedule.

Follow me.

And ladies first. Step in here.

[Ominous music playing]

I've chosen our deluxe model.

I think you'll appreciate the floor plan.

[Metal clinking]

Oh!

Very good.

I... I understand that you've been paid in full.

For my kennel, yes. But for my silence, no.

That's too bad. I just spent the last

of my traveler's checks an hour ago.

Oh, well, that's all right.

I'll just lighten the load a bit.

There was the loveliest gun shop on the boulevard marquesa.

[Intense music playing]

[Gunshot]

[Ambient music playing]

[Telephone ringing]

Well, that's fine as long as we have it by this afternoon.

Joel Beck.

[Man on phone] Did you get my little package yet, Beck?

No.

No, no, not yet.

It's due on tomorrow's boat.

I'm coming to Los Angeles.

[Joel] Is something wrong?

There's too much heat down here.

They're about to blowup my operations.

When are you coming?

Day after tomorrow.

As soon as you get the cocaine, you turn it into cash, huh?

I'll carry the last shipment through myself.

[Exhales] My biggest problem

is that the dealers... I'm your biggest problem, Beck.

I'll take care of it, huh?

Yeah, yeah. Yes, sir.

[Places phone with a thud]

[Amiable music playing]

[Ship horn blowing]

Folks! Folks! We have arrived.

Mrs. Hart, I told you she would make it.

Yes, you certainly did.

Mr. Hart, how did you like the new suspension?

Oh, it's terrific.

Ah.

[Punctured tire hissing]

Ah, not to worry about a thing.

Hey, muchachos.

[Speaking Spanish]

Mrs. Hart, Mr. Hart, it's been a real pleasure

being with you all week.

I hope next time you come, I can take care of you again,

okay? Thank you very much.

[Jonathan] Take care, huh? Thank you.

Mrs. Hart. Ah.

It's been a pleasure.

I'll take care of the luggage for you.

[Jennifer] Thank you, sito. [Jonathan] Right.

Did you enjoy my surprise? Wow! I loved it.

It was everything the travel poster said.

Yeah? Marvelous malapique.

The perfect getaway." [Freeway barks]

It's unanimous. Oh.

Hey, hold it. Hold it.

I'll take that. Thank you.

Come on, freeway. [Jonathan grunts]

Not yet. [Jennifer chuckles]

Come on.

[Ambient music playing]

[Jennifer] No, no, no.

I got them the aztec monkey.

Aztec monkey?

Uh-huh? Don't you remember they gave us

that onyx pig?

The onyx pig? That's the one that I dropped?

Twice.

Good morning.

Good morning. Your name, please?

Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan hart.

And, come here.

Freeway.

Oh. What a lovely dog. What breed is he?

Only his mother knows.

We found him in a box next to the freeway.

Hence, "freeway."

Okay, that will be outside cabin 203, a and b.

A deck.

Thank you very much. Come on, kid. Time to board.

I hope he enjoys his trip.

Oh, freeway's used to traveling.

As a matter of fact, we have a whole collection

of these kennels at home.

[Attendant] Best friends, already.

Oh, too bad they have to stay cooped up

in their kennels. But until you board...

Easy, boy. Better the kennel than a paternity suit. Come on.

[Attendant] Well, you're not due to board quite yet.

I'll be happy to chaperone.

Why don't you have a drink at the bar and I'll make sure

that freeway gets his own drink.

Thanks.

Oh, wait. Uh,

do you think it's possible if freeway

and the kennel can be delivered to our stateroom?

[Attendant] Yes, of course. Our pleasure.

Good morning. [Bartender] Buenos dias.

Buenos dias.Um...

[Jonathan] Two margaritas.

[Ambient music playing]

Uh, excuse me. I couldn't help overhearing.

Is that your kennel over there?

Oh, one of them, yes.

Oh, [nervous laugh] For a minute I thought I was seeing double.

Oh, uh, sorry. I'm susy Jensen.

How do you do?

Jonathan hart. Hi

this is my wife, Jennifer. How do you do?

Uh, mind if I sit down?

Would you like to have a drink?

Yeah, I think just to calm my nerves.

One more Margarita, please. Here you are, darling.

Thank you.

There you are. [Bartender] Gracias.

I love animals, don't you?

I'm just devoted to my little mo-mo.

It's funny how you can grow so attached to things.

Here's to first-class pets.

Ah.

[Jazz music playing]

[Telephone ringing]

[Attendant] Paradiso lines!

First-class lounge.

[Gasps] Oh, no. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Go on. Go on, get in. Go on, get in.

Would you excuse me just for one minute?

I got a quick call to make. Surely.

What about that?

Freeway meets a girl and five minutes later

we've got in-law trouble. It was a great vacation.

And I love you. It certainly was.

Come on.

[Woman on p.A speaking Spanish]

[Woman] Final boarding call for Los Angeles.

All aboard, please.

Mr. and Mrs. Hart. Miss Jensen.

The ship is now ready to board.

Ah. See you on board.

[Ambient music playing]

I wonder what kind of a trip we're gonna have?

Rocky.

[Ambient music playing]

[Metal clanks]

Okay, durante, you can, you can do me a favor, hm?

[Eerie music playing]

There. Didn't hurt a bit, did it?

[Dog whimpers]

Durante, let's have a little game.

Don't worry, kid, you'll get your senses back in a while.

A while after the baggage from malapique

passes under your nose.

[Ambient music playing]

Well, how's durante, Dr. Beck?

Pass his physical?

One detector dog ready for duty, inspector.

Isn't that right, durante?

Come on.

All systems go. [Freeway barking]

[Foghorn blowing]

[Indistinct chattering]

Well, that's nearly all, inspector. I hope.

So do the people in the line behind us.

I'm afraid we're a little short on dog teams today, Mr. Hart.

Thanks, well, your lieutenant seems to be doing a very good job.

[Cop] Well, he a great help. He saves us

from opening everything up.

We're having a real light day today anyway.

Well, uh, excuse me.

Okay, all clear.

Thank you for your Patience.

Bye bye. Bye bye.

Hi. Hello, miss.

[Dog sniffing]

Have a nice day, miss.

Come on, girl.

[Ambient music playing]

And this is for you, Max.

Oh, Mrs. H. You shouldn't have.

That's all right.

[Jennifer] How do you like them?

Is there something wrong, Max? Are they the wrong size?

No, the size is perfect.

What a coincidence.

[Max] I bought a pair exactly like this last week.

Footwear unlimited, had a special shipment in from Mexico.

I'll bet I can guess how much you paid for them.

60?

Mm-mm. [Jennifer] 50?

Mm-mm. How much?

2450.

2450?

Now, Mrs. H. What did you pay for it?

Uh...

Max, uh, don't you think it's time to get dinner ready?

Come on, sport.

[Jennifer] 2450.

Let me try that on.

Does it fit?

Yeah, that's perfect.

Well, if the shoe fits...

Well, can I have them?

Uh-huh?

At least someone in this family will get some use out of it.

[Jennifer] 2450.

[Jonathan] Oh, perfect. Thanks, darling.

[Eerie music playing]

I was beginning to think you'd run off on me.

[Susy] Ha!

You're so trusting, Joel.

The thought did cross my mind.

[Susy] All that lovely cocaine and me.

And I wouldn't have to look at you again for months.

You know I'd kill you if you skipped out with my stuff.

[Scoffs] Your stuff?

You mean herrera's stuff, don't you?

Where is it?

Where is the cocaine?

What do you mean?

I... I don't know. I saw the pawnbroker

put it in there before he closed it up.

You two are in this together. No. No.

[Thud] I killed him just like you told me to, Joel.

Look, it's got to be a different kennel.

Somebody must have switched it on me.

Look, there was another couple on the boat

with the same brand of kennel.

Herrera is gonna be in Los Angeles in 48 hours.

Hart. The people on the boat. His name was Jonathan hart.

[Thud]

I'll get the stuff back for you, Joel. I swear it.

Oh. You'd better get it back.

When herrera gets here, he's gonna come looking for me.

And he may find me at your funeral.

[Tense music playing]

[Ambient music playing]

[Jonathan] I don't know what I enjoy more.

Being away on vacation with you or celebrating our arrival home.

But...

We've got all weekend to find out.

[Jennifer] Darling...

There's no soap in here. It's out here.

You know, I think I need new blades.

Oh, I don't know, it feels fine to me.

Malapique was terrific,

but anywhere with you would be terrific.

Why don't you come in here and soap my back?

Oh. What's it worth?

Come on in and find out.

It's worth it already. Mm-hm.

[Susy] It's susy Jensen. I'm here to see Mr. Hart.

We met on the boat from malapique.

[Ambient music playing]

Ah, good morning, Max. Good morning, Max.

Morning, folks. You got a visitor on the way up.

Oh, who?

Susy Jensen. She says it's urgent.

Susy Jensen?

Mo-mo's mother.

Oh. I wonder what she wants.

[Doorbell rings] I'll get it.

Hello, I'm susy Jensen. Come on in.

Hello, susy.

Oh, Jonathan, I... I've got terrible news.

Well, what's the problem?

It's mo-mo. It's all my fault.

I never should have taken her with me to malapique.

Well, um, come in and sit down.

There's no time for that.

She caught some kind of tropical bug and she's so sick, i...

Oh, I'm sorry. How can we help?

Well, i... I'm actually here to help you.

I'm afraid that freeway might have the same thing.

Well, he seems to be okay.

Oh, that's just how it happened with mo-mo.

She was perfectly all right and then all of the sudden,

bang! It got her.

I came here directly from the vet's

to tell you myself in person.

Well, we certainly do appreciate that.

If he shows any signs of fever, I'll have him checked.

Oh, but you've got to take him to a vet immediately.

Look, my doctor is the best in the field.

Why don't I drive freeway over there right now?

Oh, that won't be necessary.

Freeway has his own vet.

Yeah, Dr. Barrett of Beverly Hills.

I can drive him right over there.

Uh, all right, but, uh, in case you change your mind,

here's his card.

He really is the best in the field.

What did you say the disease was?

Oh, uh, i... I don't remember. Some virus.

Uh, look, be sure and take his kennel with you

because it's gonna have to be checked out

and disinfected as well.

We will.

It's still in the kitchen, isn't it, Max?

Yes, Mrs. H.

Well, we certainly hope that mo-mo gets better.

Thank you.

And thank you.

Oh, you won't forget freeway and the kennel, right?

Right. Goodbye.

Well, what do you think?

She's a little hysterical.

But I don't think we should take a chance. I'll call Dr. Barrett.

Uh, let's go get that kennel out of the kitchen.

[Max] All right.

That's okay, Mrs. H. I'll get it.

[Ambient music playing]

[Jane] Now, come on.

That's a boy.

Well, I don't know why I'm so glad to see him.

If all my patients were like you, I'd soon be out of business.

He looks good, doesn't he, Jane? Malapique agrees with him.

[Birds chirping]

Now, what's all this fuss about a virus?

Well, there was this lady on the ship that had a dog

and, uh, that dog had a virus, so we thought

we'd have him checked out just to be sure.

Yes, of course. You can't be too sure.

But don't worry. And I mean that, Jennifer.

I'll give him a thorough checkup and you can pick him

about teatime. Great.

And you be a good boy for Dr. Barrett.

Now run along.

See you. We'll get right to work.

Now, what has that silly lady been saying about you, hm?

[Bird chirping]

[Tense music playing]

You couldn't be healthier.

If you got a bug, you better keep it.

Now, you stay there. I'll be right back.

[Freeway barks]

[Ominous music playing]

[Freeway barks]

Shh. [Jane] Freeway, what's it, boy?

[Jane] I'll be right out.

[Loud thud]

What on earth?

Freeway, are you all right?

What...?

[Ominous music playing]

[Metal clanking]

What is this?

What kind of a game are you playing?

I... i... I don't understand.

Joel, maybe... Maybe they took the cocaine out.

Wait a second.

Joel, this isn't my kennel.

Mine had red carpeting.

My kennel must still be at their house.

[Telephone ringing]

Beck.

I spoke to the bank, Beck.

The money hasn't been deposited.

I just didn't get to the bank.

Oh, of course. I... I just didn't have time.

You sound a little nervous, Beck.

Uh, you're not holding out on me, are you?

[Beck] No.

Everything's under control.

Well, I'm glad because I'd hate to think what would happen

to you if it wasn't.

[Telephone clicks] [Dial tone buzzes]

[Ominous music playing]

I don't think herrera's gonna appreciate

the fact that your lying to him.

Well, then, you'd better make an honest man out of me

before he gets here.

[Jonathan] And you're sure that nothing was stolen?

[Jane] Nothing.

Except it's funny.

My receptionist's white jacket.

She left it on her chair during lunch and now it's gone.

Well, that doesn't seem something important enough

to break in for.

And you heard no noise?

The kennel fell down.

The door slammed.

And after I made sure freeway was all right,

I went out in the street.

Um, a red pickup was just pulling out on third.

But, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Well, do you think you should call the police,

Jane? Oh, no.

Heaven's no. I'm perfectly fine. No harm done.

And this little chap was better than 12 squad cars.

Mm, I'm certainly glad he's all right.

Oh, he's absolutely tiptop.

Freeway.

[Freeway snorts]

Oh, I disinfected the kennel. Maybe he doesn't like it.

Oh.

Well, Jane, thanks for a cup of your marvelous tea.

[Freeway barks] Freeway!

It's my fault. I forgot his treat.

[Birds chirping]

You think I spoil him?

Yes, and he loves every minute of it.

Thanks. Thanks again. Goodbye, Jennifer.

Bye bye.

[Eerie music playing]

[Freeway barks]

[Jennifer] Here we are.

Freeway's in perfect health?

Perfect. No virus, no nothing, right?

Not a thing. Nothing.

[Max] I could tell by the look in his eyes.

Susy's here to see you again.

Her dog wasn't so lucky. Mo-mo died.

How awful. She's waiting in here.

[Ambient music playing]

[Susy] Shut up. [Freeway barks persistently]

[Freeway growling] [Susy screams]

[Glass shatters] [Freeway barking]

Freeway. [Freeway barking]

[Eerie music playing]

Jonathan.

What do you think about that? Max, call the police.

[Car engine starts]

[Tires screeching]

[Ambient music playing

I lost her.

Didn't she say something about the magnolia towers?

This is magnolia terrace.

It's got to be around here somewhere. There it is.

[Jonathan] Shall we try that?

[Ominous music playing]

Did you get the stuff?

It... it got busted up.

Uh, the harts found it and...

Look, Joel... Joel, I had to leave it there.

They saw you.

Look, Joel, we gotta get out of here.

I can't run from herrera.

And the harts know who you are.

It's so confusing, I...

I have to eliminate some loose ends.

[Ominous music playing]

First, you.

[Gasping]

And then herrera.

[Gasps]

I don't see her car anywhere.

Maybe she lives inside.

[Susy screaming]

[Tense music playing]

[Tires screeching]

What was that?

I don't know, but I'm gonna sure to find out.

[Ominous music playing]

She's dead.

[Mo-mo whimpering]

[Mo-mo barking]

[Jennifer] Mo-mo.

[Tense music plays]

[Ambient music playing]

[Jennifer] Freeway, come back here.

Freeway!

I can understand why the lady was so anxious to find this kennel, Mr. Hart.

There must be more than a couple million dollars worth of cocaine in here.

Would you tell lieutenant Warren I'll be glad to help him out any way I can?

Sure thing, Mr. Hart. Thanks.

[Cricket chirping]

[Jennifer sighs] Thank you. Good night, Mrs. Hart.

Oh! Freeway.

[Freeway whimpering] What's that?

Darling, there's something wrong with his paw.

[Freeway breathing heavily]

Oh? Look at that.

Yeah.

Maybe he hurt it in that scrape with susy.

Oh.

I'll give Jane a call.

Oh, baby. [Jonathan dialing]

It's gonna be all right, sweetheart.

Just fine.

Hello, Jane.

This is Jonathan hart.

Oh, I'm fine, thank you.

But, uh, freeway's not doing too well.

Well, I don't know, it, uh, doesn't seem serious, but...

Oh, you could?

Fine. In about a half an hour.

Thank you very much, Jane. Bye.

She says she always has time for her favorite patient.

She'll meet us at the office. Okay. Great.

Max.

I was just trying to straighten out the kitchen, Mr. H.

We're gonna take freeway over to see Dr. Barrett.

What's the matter?

Well, we think he may have gotten hurt in that scuffle with susy.

Take care of him. He deserves a purple heart.

Oh. We will.

Darling, would you grab my purse?

Sure.

[Door closes with a thud]

[Ambient music playing]

[Joel] I suppose that's what's left.

Hey.

I suppose the police have taken everything.

Look, there... There's nothing left.

Why don't you just turn around and get out the way you came in?

I don't think so but...

I think your employers need to be persuaded

to stay away from me and to...

Keep their nose out of the drug business.

Mr. H isn't easy to persuade.

You're gonna have to bet your life that he can be persuaded.

[Ominous music playing]

[Jonathan] Thanks for coming out like this, Jane.

For this little rotter, you could charm the kibble

from a hundred doberman.

What do you think?

He's fine. It's just a sprain.

Oh, that's good. That'll make Max happy, hm?

Oh!

Jane, have you ever heard of this vet?

Joel Beck? Yes.

He was the one that recommended that freeway be tested

for the virus.

Joel started this fuss about a virus?

[Jonathan] Actually, it was a ruse.

The girl with the other dog was after some dope

she was trying to smuggle into the country.

Well, that's interesting.

Joel has done some work for the customs service.

What sort of work?

Occasionally he works with the detector dogs.

In what way?

Well, he checks them out to see if they're healthy

and that their sense of smell hasn't been tampered with.

How could they do that?

Well, they could put some ammonia

on a cloth and pass it across the dog's nose

and it would burn their mucous membrane

and they'd be without a sense of smell for hours.

Well, thanks again, Jane. Anytime.

Thanks, Jane. I'm sure, lieutenant Warren

will be interested in some of that information.

Sounds like Joel's gone to the dogs.

Uh, sorry. Professional humor.

Good night.

[Ominous music playing]

Yes. Yes, Mr. Herrera. Dock 5.

What time?

[Joel] No, the connection is bad.

[Herrera] 2 P.M.

And Beck, there better not be any foul-ups.

I want the dogs taken care of.

And I want to see my money.

[Joel] Oh, there won't be any foul-ups, Mr. Herrera.

Everything's, in order.

[Ominous music playing]

[Exhales] I guess Max didn't wait up for us.

Well, it has been an exhausting day.

[Freeway barks]

Shh. Freeway.

[Jennifer] You don't wanna wake up Max.

Speaking of bed.

Oh.

Ready, willing...

And exhausted.

This... this may turn out for the best.

After all, I'm rid of susy.

I'll be rid of herrera,

and then the last shipment will be all mine.

All mine.

After I get rid of you.

[Eerie music playing]

Coffee.

Max didn't make any coffee.

Well, considering all the commotion,

he did a great job cleaning up.

Max. He left a note.

He did? What does it say? It's not from Max.

[Tense music playing]

[Jennifer] Darling, are you sure Dr. Beck has Max?

[Jonathan] I'm not sure about anything

but, uh, Beck seems like the most likely candidate.

Now, come on, freeway, pretend you're going to the doctor.

Hello.

Hello. Oh, I'm sorry,

we can't take any more patients today.

The doctor's out.

We came to pick up spot.

Oh. Well, have a seat. Let me see if he's ready.

[Dogs barking]

Spot?

There's always a spot.

Spot is ready. I'll get him for you.

[Sighs] Thank you.

[Intense music playing]

See if you can find anything on the desk.

[Metal clanks]

[Freeway barks] Shh.

Jonathan.

[Ominous music playing]

Does that look familiar?

He certainly doesn't like this stuff.

"Dock 5.2 P.M."

Maybe Beck's got a shipment coming in.

Come on.

[Ominous music playing]

Oh. Here's spot.

Wrong spot. Sorry.

[Ambient music playing]

Now...

If everything goes according to plan,

I'll be out of the country before anybody finds you.

Okay, durante. It's your turn.

Come here, boy.

Up you go.

Good dog. Sit down.

[Whimpers]

One more little...

Sinus problem...

And we'll both,

we'll both be all set, huh?

[Eerie music playing]

Good dog. Come on.

Come on, durante. Time for work.

[Eerie music playing]

[Officer] Yes, Mr. Hart. Your office told me you'd be here.

Here you are, Mr. Hart. How many dogs do you have in this facility?

Usually five or six.

We got four down at the mail facility on account of the bomb threat.

The other two seem to be having some problems lately.

Problems? What sort of problems?

Health problems.

Matter of fact, we hardly ever have both of them well at the same time.

[Officer] I guess Dr. Beck knows what he's doing.

I'm sure he does, Beck was here a half an hour ago. Have you seen Beck today?

No, but he might be down in customs.

Can you take us down there? It would be my pleasure. Mrs. Hart.

[Ominous music playing]

[Door closes with a thud]

[Man on p.A] Passengers arriving from malapique can be met

after clearing customs in the international arrivals area.

[People chattering]

That's one of our best dogs, Mrs. Hart.

Durante.

Please.

[Jonathan] Camden.

Mr. Hart.

Hello, again. Your office told me to expect you. Mrs. Hart.

[Indistinct chattering]

[Man on P.A.] Paging Jennifer hart.

Jennifer hart.

Please pick up the nearest courtesy phone.

Who could that be? Maybe it's something about Max.

Courtesy phone's right over there, Mrs. Hart.

Oh, thank you. Darling, would you hold freeway?

[Man] Inspector? Yeah?

[Indistinct chattering]

How you doing? Fine, Dr. Beck.

It's okay.

Uh, hello. This is Jennifer hart.

You paged me.

Not a sound.

Please.

[Ominous music playing]

Walk slowly.

[Tense music playing]

Good girl, thank you.

So, what exactly are we looking or now,

Mr. Hart? A veterinarian named Beck.

[Officer] Dr. Beck? [Jonathan] Right.

[Papers shuffling]

Hey, freeway, come on, take it easy.

[Jonathan] Easy boy.

[Freeway barking]

Get him to stop.

Call him.

Freeway.

There's Dr. Beck right now.

[Freeway barking]

[Freeway growls]

Beck...

[Crowd chattering]

Now, don't. I'll kill her.

Hold... hold. Hold it.

Let him alone.

[Jonathan] Hold it. That's my wife.

You can't go anywhere, Beck.

Don't move.

Let her go, Beck.

I can make some arrangements for you.

Now, that's enough... [Gun shots]

[People screaming]

[Music playing]

[Officer] Come on, Mrs. Hart. We can get out this way.

Come here.

[Tense music playing]

This way.

[Intense music playing]

[Officer shouting]

[Gun shots]

[Ominous music playing]

There's nowhere to go, Beck.

[Jonathan] Nowhere.

There is, for you.

[Gun clicking]

[Tense music playing]

[Joel grunts]

[Joel screams] All right, Beck.

Now, where is he? Where's Max?

He's in the customs shed. In the closet.

[Ambient music playing]

[Joel screaming]

Well, it's been a hell of a day for Dr. Beck,

but I think he'll recover.

Look, darling. He's doing the dog paddle.

Dr. Beck!

[Ambient music playing]

[Crickets chirping]

[Jennifer] Welcome home, Max.

We're glad you're back in one piece.

I'm glad to be here.

I never thought I'd make it through customs.

We've been tied up there ourselves.

Mm.

Oh, the guys from customs

sent this to freeway.

"To the world's smartest dog."

[Freeway barks]

I'll drink to that. To freeway.

[Ambient music playing]

Here, freeway. [Freeway barks]

I love you.

I love you both too.

Oh, thanks very much, Max.

Come here, boy. Come on.

Oh.

You know, maybe I should learn a few new tricks.

Why? I like all the old ones.

You do? Yeah?

Yeah.

[Theme music playing]
