HEIRS, STRYCHNINE & COMPAGNIE

Biscuiterie Lindsay

Closed Thursday for the funeral of our beloved founder

I hear he's leaving 6 million dollars.

- Whose? - I don't know.

He buried his whole family.

Guess who inherits the old man!

- Whose dog? - His dog.

"He bequeaths millions to a dog."

"He bequeaths everything to her."

Well, I'll be damned. Now we're all working for a mutt.

Lindsay's secretary will manage the dog's fortune.

The strange will names Ellen Hathaway heir to the dog

King, king of an empire

One more detail, Miss Hathaway.

In this niche, a mechanism serves him his food.

- Simply program the time. - Very practical, but...

600 only, plumbing included.

I'm not interested.

A dog in the situation

- of King... - He had nothing to do with it.

Goodbye.

- If you change your mind... - I'll give you a call.

You, then!

If you could manage your money yourself...

Your fortune is going to your head.

A throw, that's all.

That's only half

mail.

I doubt Lassie has that many fans.

You should learn to read.

And to write.

Nicholas, don't let a single door-to-door salesman.

Yes, ma'am.

- Hello. How can I help you? - Can I help you?

- Is King here? - King?

The dog.

Miss Hathaway does not receive canvassers.

I'm not selling anything, I'm a friend.

Her?

No, to King. We were in the army together.

The army?

In the dog regiment. I was his commanding officer, Corporal Collins.

He was in the army, wasn't he?

Yes.

I understand your mistrust. This is just a friendly visit.

I'll tell Miss Hathaway.

- Excuse me, sir. - Who was that?

A young man with an unusual request.

Tell him I...

He's not asking for you, but King.

He served in the army with him.

What an original tactic! Let's see what he wants.

- Send him in. - Yes, madame.

Not on this chair!

My man! How you doing, buddy?

You look great.

You've gone a little too far.

Are you still wearing your military badge?

I'm sorry, it's the thrill of seeing King again.

Let me introduce myself: Perry Collins.

- I was in the army with King. - Nicholas told me.

He was the best dog in the regiment.

He doesn't recognize you.

Yes, he remembers me.

No wonder he wasn't happy to see me again.

I was a strict trainer.

King is friendly, even with strangers.

I wouldn't jump for joy if I saw my adjutant again.

I was just doing my job.

Let's see if he's still a real G.I.

Come on, King, crawl!

Now, heel! Good boy.

Go around.

Ready to go?

Halt!

Take a good look, mademoiselle.

Easy, boy! Good boy.

A G.I. never forgets.

I've never seen him do that.

It would even attack a machine gun.

This is Boots. She and King get on like cats and dogs.

At camp, he already loved chasing cats.

Come here, King! Down you go. Good boy.

Stop running with Boots. You'll never catch him.

He was a strange old man.

Leave his fortune to a dog!

He didn't like people.

Mr. Collins, where were you garrisoned with King?

He was entrusted to me in December 1943 at Fort McArthur.

We did the training in San Carlos.

King and I in uniform.

In front of the refectory, King's favorite place.

He had a concrete snout.

He used it to open the garbage cans.

King alone.

Before my transfer to Front Royal.

He was decorated.

Precisely because of me. He saved my life during the maneuvers.

My jeep flipped over on top of me.

King went for help, despite a broken leg.

- Is she still hurting him? - He takes it easy.

She doesn't seem bother her.

Could I come back visit King again?

Of course you can.

Excuse me, will you be lunching here or on the terrace?

On the terrace. Thank you.

Are you staying for lunch?

I had a business appointment, but it can wait.

Perfect, I'll tell the cook.

- More coffee? - Thanks for your time.

Tillie, get out of there!

Tillie, that's enough now!

She's not very friendly.

With the unknowns who touch King.

Not crazy, the wasp

She's a nice girl. She's the gardener's dog.

Do you live here?

I work 24 hours a day

since my arrival at Lindsay 3 years ago.

- Got any family? - A grandfather in Scotland.

What do you do for a living?

- I'm in oil. - You are?

I'm a poor oilman. That's rare.

I see. You're looking for for financing, aren't you?

I'd rather lose my money and keep my friends.

- Want some advice? - We can always use it.

We talk about you so much.

You must be beset by crooks.

Buy gasoline at the pump.

I'll take that into account.

- Gotta go. - A fascinating conversation.

- Mademoiselle... - Yes?

Can I take King swimming?

- Swimming? - He loves water.

We trained him for amphibious operations.

I can't leave King alone with a stranger.

Do you know anything about amphibious operations?

- I have a bathing suit. - That'll do.

- A swimsuit and water. - How about Sunday?

- When? - At 10 a.m.

You can count on me.

King, you can beat Perry! Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Good dog.

That's it.

- He beat me. - With a muzzle.

Do you really have to go to Tulsa?

Not really, but I have a vice: I have to eat.

- Ellen, we never told you... - Yes, several times.

For heaven's sake!

You're ruining my plan.

You're jealous of Perry, aren't you?

It's been a week you've been moping around.

I have something to tell you: your jealousy is well-founded.

If only you liked Perry! He's really sweet.

By training you, he was his duty as a soldier.

I can read your mind:

I've only known him just a few weeks ago.

In life, you have to trust people 90% of the time.

The rest is a gamble based on what little we know about them.

Don't sulk.

He's leaving today.

Flight to Tulsa, Kansas City and Chicago.

Boarding at gate 3.

I almost missed it.

Goodbye, dear. It was nice to see you again.

Thank you for everything.

How long are you staying in Tulsa?

It depends on the exchange I get.

- I hope it works. - So do I.

For two reasons, one depends on the other.

If it works, I'll come back ask you an important question.

And if it fails...

Well...

We'll never see each other again.

Immediate boarding.

You don't have to show your joy so openly.

King, get lost! You've already been fed.

Don't be so bitter.

It's not his fault that you didn't inherit anything.

I refuse to treat him with more consideration than before.

Don't forget, he's your boss.

Maybe not for long.

Is he not well?

I found him lying here. He is very ill.

Try to get him to drink.

Here, have a drink.

Hello, Dr Moss?

Ellen Hathaway speaking. King is in a very bad way.

I don't know, but he's very ill.

Please hurry.

Death of the world's richest dog in the world

Ellen Hathaway inherits Lindsay fortune

Criminal death suspected

The autopsy revealed strychnine poisoning

Hathaway grilled by police Inheritance blocked by the courts

I'll plant flowers there tomorrow.

Good idea, Mr. Slott.

You shouldn't have interrupt your journey.

I heard the police were questioning you.

The newspapers have already accused me.

I'd be the only one with a motive.

Unfortunately, they're not wrong.

You think I'm guilty?

I know you had nothing to do with it.

That evening, under a waxing moon,

Tillie kept watch

by the grave,

howling her grief,

while the ghost of his beloved King

left his earthly body

to begin his ascent towards the supreme goal:

the sanctuary of eternal Paradise.

Nature does things strangely.

Indeed, as if by magic, the fish soar skyward.

Then the birds flew.

Then the horses,

dogs, and finally all the beasts

gather in a glorious rush towards the Bestiolatoire.

Introducing the Bestiolatoire.

All creatures of the animal kingdom

must stop off here.

Here is King Koab enthroned to judge all his subjects.

When you leave your earthly life,

the gates to the beyond are open to all.

Except those who no longer deserve to be called "animals".

The animals are confident and gentle,

just want affection,

make do with the seeds that have fallen to the ground.

They only fight to defend family or loved ones.

They know nothing of war,

They don't lie or deceive.

Messengers will prepare those who are without sin

to the journey to the Elysian fields of Fauna.

Those who have brought shame to the animal kingdom

will suffer the most dreadful of our punishments:

they will return to Earth, but not in animal form,

nor in human form... in humanimal form!

To atone for their sins.

Animaltesse...

I'd like to make a request.

You're King the Faithful, aren't you?

Yes. I would like to return to Earth.

Where you were destroyed by the whim of a human?

For a short time.

Why this dreaded request?

It's a peculiar situation. There's a woman...

- A human? - Yes, a human.

But there's nothing human about her: she's kind and generous.

She's in trouble.

- Like all humans. - His case is different.

It's all my fault. She's blamed for my death.

She's innocent.

Do you know who committed this despicable act?

Yes, Your Animaltesse.

I wish to punish the one who poisoned me with strychnine.

- Strychnine! - That's right.

For such villainy

and such a just cause,

I fulfill your request.

Mandez Golden Harvest.

Golden Harvest!

Golden Harvest reports.

You will accompany King on Earth.

You'll need to be back before the moon changes.

Yes, Animaltesse.

Unlike those who are punished to live on Earth,

you will be aware for the duration of your stay

to be a humanimal.

You mustn't forget it, or let anyone know.

I'll be very careful.

Don't forget! You must return before the moon changes.

Or you won't be able to come back.

Never again!

Lindsay Veterinary Clinic? Is Dr Moss in?

Rex Berger Private detective

Dog food

Hi, Doc. How are ya? King speaking.

I mean Rex Berger, private investigator.

Investigating poisoning

of the dog who inherited the Lindsay fortune.

That's it.

That's what I'd like to find out.

Was the poison administered or in the form of rat poison?

As is?

That's what I thought.

Thanks, Doc.

Golden, what's this?

This is me. See?

When I won at Tanbark.

The 1st mare to win the race. I ran 1 km in 1mn35.

- Not much, is it? - The racecourse record!

- Who's she? - It's Miss Hathaway.

She's a real dog.

You said it!

- You never realized? - I never thought about it.

I don't see her the same way.

Really?

"For lack of evidence, police release Ellen Hathaway."

It's white.

Then all's well, we can go home.

I have to punish the guy who killed me.

Do you know who this is?

You've got to be kidding! It's Collins, of course.

Living on Earth, is punishment enough.

Talk about punishment: a beautiful girl and 6 million!

My own 6 million.

Our hatred goes back a long way. We were in the army together.

He used to hit us with a bat.

He broke my leg and made it look like a jeep accident.

I was decorated for saving this parasite!

You should have bitten him.

I was in so much pain, Max almost did it.

- Max? - Mate.

- A champion, a boxer. - A boxer?

Boxer shorts!

Max nearly ripped off his arm when Collins hit him.

Talk about a hero!

You have to tell Ellen the truth.

- We'll be back tonight. - Don't get excited, baby... iche.

I still can't say:

"Your fiancé is a fraud and a liar.

He didn't go to Tulsa. He got off the plane."

If she asks how I know, I'll wag my tail.

"You're putting me back? I was your lapdog, King,

until Perry Collins kills me."

- Impossible. - But it's true.

They're human.

They don't believe in the truth.

They'd send me to the nuthouse.

You're right.

I have to be cunning and find evidence to catch him.

Hurry up, doggy. The full moon is Thursday.

Let's get to work.

Do you need me?

- You're supposed to be watching me. - You'll be fine.

Where are you going?

- I want to go to the racetrack. - The racetrack?

My granddaughter Golden Baby runs in the 7th.

Are you a grandmother?

Since the age of 8.

You don't look it.

Thank you, my pooch.

Does your little girl run well?

A little, my nephew!

But she's part of a lousy stable.

Bad trainer, wrong picotin.

If she wins, she'll be bought by a better stable.

She has a good chance over this distance.

But she has to take it easy.

Our specialty is the mile.

Dad still holds the record: he ran it in...

I get it. When will you be back?

After the eighth.

Aren't you overdoing it a little?

It takes a lot of vision for women to play cod!

I disguise myself as myself. What's wrong with that?

- What's the matter with you? - An employee of the pound.

You don't have to worry anymore.

Take a look.

- Aren't they cute? - Yeah.

I come from a large family family too.

Holy crap!

It was Max, the boxer I told you about.

- Are you sure? - He's got a unique face.

I hope he's well looked after. He's a good mutt.

I miss my bus. Bye, doggy.

See you soon.

Not a moment too soon!

Anyone who can run that fast doesn't need a bus.

Naughty dog

Nicholas, what's up?

I beg your pardon?

I'm sorry, I thought you were for someone else.

- I've come to see Miss Hathaway. - She's not receiving.

- She'll see me. - Does she know you?

No, but she knew me back in the day.

I have very strict orders.

I must see her. I'm Rex Berger, private investigator.

I want to help him.

She doesn't need your help. Good-bye, sir.

Beat it, Boots.

You're welcome!

I'll never chase you again. Go on, get out of here!

I'm your boyfriend, you know? Go away!

Excuse me, Miss Hathaway. Oh, don't be frightened.

I wanted to see you. Rex Berger, detective.

Who let you in?

No one. I came in through the back door.

Reserved for canvassers and detectives.

- Get out or I'll call the police. - I know all about the poisoning.

Just like everyone else.

I'm sure you're innocent.

- Listen, Mr what's-his-name... - Berger.

I've been cleared, so it doesn't matter.

By the police, yes.

But what do animal lovers?

They think you're guilty.

What exactly do you know?

A lot of things.

Are you ready to tell me everything for a small fee?

I don't care about money.

A true Saint Bernard.

This case is close to my heart. I love dogs.

- I really like them. - Touching!

What's more, if I unmask the assassin, I gain prestige.

The $10,000 reward doesn't interest you?

10.000 !

I didn't know that. You're very generous.

- Where were you? - Upstairs.

Up north. I had another investigation.

Since you're offering a reward, I'll be all the more motivated.

I'll make you a deal.

Don't pay me a deposit. I accept payment by results.

If I solve it, I get the reward. If not, nothing.

Do you agree?

Why do you think I'm innocent?

I know you are.

- How did you know? - Well...

I can't tell you, not yet.

Tillie, it's me. Go away, we'll talk later.

Nice dog.

Incredibly, she's always hostile to strangers.

Dogs recognize friends.

Here, eat. Come on, eat.

She hadn't eaten since King's death.

Excuse me, she jumped over the fence.

Wow, she eats!

She's cured.

Come on, you're not allowed to come in here.

I've never seen anything like it in my life!

You know how to handle with dogs.

I grew up with them. My parents had plenty of them.

I love dogs but Tillie snubs me.

I understand them better than you do.

I don't doubt it.

If my services are of use to you...

Mr. Berger, please sit down, please.

- May I? - Of course you may.

If I hire you, what does that mean?

That I make the decisions.

Whatever I do, I want you to know I will act in your best interest.

I trust you.

You won't regret it.

What's your first step?

I'd like to explore the property.

To get an idea of the crime scene.

Right this way.

Let's go this way instead, on the terrace side.

How did you know that the terrace is back there?

I'm an excellent detective.

I love this garden.

- Especially the trees. - Beautiful, isn't it?

- King is buried there. - More like over here.

Why are you taking this case so much at heart?

I take it as a personal challenge.

I don't want to leave this world until I get this guy.

And I will.

It's Boots.

Come on!

Strange, she likes people.

Except detectives, perhaps.

- May I ask a few questions? - Of course, of course.

Have a seat.

I've never met someone like you.

It bites its own tail.

your personal challenge story...

You don't look like like a detective.

We're not all Dick Tracy.

The ones I know are cold

and impersonal.

In life, you have to trust people 90% of the time.

The rest is a gamble on the little we know about them.

Where did you hear that?

I don't know. Why don't you?

I said it once to King while taking my bath.

- I thought it was original. - It's just a coincidence.

Do I have to stay here during the survey?

Not necessarily, why?

- I'm going to Canada. - I didn't know that.

How would you have known?

Fair enough.

I'm getting married.

When?

The day after tomorrow, when grandfather arrives from Scotland.

The day after tomorrow?

You look devastated. Does it upset your plans?

This means that I'll have to move fast.

- What's wrong? - A war wound on the knee.

The pain subsides if I rest.

I'm going back to my office. I left you my card.

She did it! Take a look!

Golden Baby won by 5 lengths.

Albert Gunther bought it!

- How's that? - He owns the Happy Chance Ranch.

The biggest in Kentucky. She'll like it there.

Take a look.

Money.

What a mare! She inherited my legs, my chest.

I'm proud of her.

They had trouble getting him to the starting line.

I hated it too.

The poor thing missed the start.

But she took it easy.

And halfway through the race, she rejoined the pack.

At the turn, this Dairy Queen crashed into him.

I was furious, I would have kicked him.

Anyway...

My darling is having a comeback...

and surpasses them all.

She races to the finish, neck and neck with Lanky Lad.

The jockey spurs him on.

She won 20 to 1.

I almost neighed with joy.

Looking for someone?

- Mr. Berger? - You're Perry Collins, aren't you?

How do you know?

How?

It's my job to have flair.

May I speak to you alone?

You can speak in front of my secretary.

- Miss Hathaway hired you. - Yes, she did.

She has since changed her mind.

Don't worry, I'll pay you for your trouble.

- $100 will do. - Not for me, pal.

I accepted the case as a result: 10,000 or nothing.

Sounds about right.

But she wants to close the case.

She's making a mistake. I want to talk to her.

She doesn't want to talk about it again.

I see.

- Thanks for the trouble. - Likewise.

I'd like to smash his skull in with my hooves.

- What are you going to do? - I don't know what I'm going to do.

I'll get this guy.

With the help of a bloodhound?

We'll be going to the Lindsay estate tonight.

What can you do in the dark?

Plenty! I don't need a bloodhound.

Look, my old trash can.

Empty.

It was my niche.

A millionaire who lived like a bum.

Mr. Lindsay built it himself.

- Let's have a look. - What do you do?

A reconstruction of my murder.

We're back from the airport.

Mrs. Bowers chased me out of the kitchen. I had tried to open the fridge.

I went out, slept until midnight.

I was hungry like a wolfhound.

I rummaged through the trash, the harvest was meager.

Coffee grounds and orange peel.

I was looking for a bone at the bottom...

when I heard something fall.

- What was it? - A big piece of meat.

I gobbled it up.

He had a funny taste, but it was too late.

Then I saw Collins.

He jumped the fence.

I pounced on him and just missed his posterior.

He dropped the vial of poison.

That's what I'm looking for.

What a jerk! I'd never eat that meat.

A dog has a hard time to resist meat.

What good grass!

What's up?

This is my grave.

I'd like to show you you around mine.

I'm buried in Lexington Kentucky.

There's a marble statue of me, it's sumptuous.

Mr. Slott was supposed plant flowers.

- Did you find him? - Yes, I found it.

- What's in it? - My bone.

I'd forgotten it was there.

Is this the bottle you were looking for?

- Where did you find it? - Right under your nose.

This is exactly the proof I was looking for.

It's my favorite tune.

Miss Hathaway?

Will you have a guest?

Yes, Mrs. Bowers. I'll have lunch with Mr. Collins.

Mrs. Bowers!

Yes, ma'am?

Have you heard strange noises?

What, for example?

A bark.

I've heard nothing like it.

Good.

A lady just brought this.

Did you hear a dog bark last night?

I think so.

Did he remind you of King?

Now that you mention it, yes.

Take a look at this.

King's military plaque.

When Mr. Collins arrives, tell him to wait for me.

Miracle Boy in the 5th.

- Is he a close relative? - No, a friend.

With blinders on, he could win.

Enter.

Good morning, Miss Hathaway.

I had to come.

I'm glad to see you.

This is Miss Harvest, my secretary.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

I got a tip on Miracle Boy.

Follow him.

Miss Harvest investigates a case at the racecourse.

Good luck.

We look forward to hearing from you.

I received this this morning. Did you send it?

- Where did you find it? - Trade secret.

- You haven't... - I would never do that.

The tomb is intact.

Why don't you sit down?

It's all so strange.

Hang on, I found this bottle at your place.

Strychnine.

The poison that killed King according to Dr. Moss!

The doctor was right.

- When did you find it? - Last night.

Last night?

Thanks to this bottle, I can...

soon trace to King's killer.

But you closed the case.

I absolutely to continue the investigation.

I won't be here for long.

I'm going on a trip soon.

You're fast. Continue your investigation.

Your price is my price.

- Let's have lunch and talk about it. - We'd love to.

Hi, Georgie!

Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant.

What a cad!

- Table for two? - Yes, please.

This way, please.

Ban dogs!

- I beg your pardon? - Never mind.

- Would you like a cocktail? - More like a sherry.

- Sir? - A bowl, uh... a glass of milk.

- As an aperitif? - Yes, as an aperitif.

Yes, sir.

- No alcohol? - I don't like them.

I was forced to drink it in the army.

Not by force, though.

It was poured into my mouth.

I've been sick as a dog.

Have you decided?

- What do you recommend? - Our spring salad.

- Endive, asparagus... - Perfect. I'll have that.

And you, sir?

- Do you have any burgers? - Excuse me?

Is something wrong?

How do you want it?

- Raw. - Rare?

- Raw! - Raw?

Have you been thinking about getting a new dog?

No dog could...

- replace King. - Now that's loyalty!

King was smart, or so they say.

He wasn't very smart.

Not really.

But he was the most most faithful and devoted...

I've ever known.

Thanks to you, no doubt.

A dog only returns the affection you give him.

Your sherry.

Your milk.

You intrigue me, I feel like I've known you I've known you for years.

Your confidence honors me.

You've convinced me that the business is close to your heart.

Want to find out the pot of roses?

Absolutely.

You won't like what I'm about to tell you.

- What's up? - You have to postpone your wedding.

But why?

You trust me. Do it without question.

We've already planned everything. Tell me why.

You have to trust me.

Was I mistaken about your motivation?

Is it me you care about?

I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

So that was it! Perry was right.

How stupid of me! He warned me...

but I couldn't you to play.

I would like to inform you personally that the case is closed.

Wait, if I'm such a phony, where the hell did that plate come from?

"Trade secrets! They're sold everywhere for a penny.

Berger?

- I'd like to talk to you. - What about?

Let's go to your office.

All right.

It's open. Let's go in.

Hyatt and Luisetti. I'm Novak from the police station.

I could smell you from afar.

You love dogs.

The more I get to know people, the more I love dogs.

- What do you want? - The bottle.

- What bottle? - Come on, I've got a warrant.

It's empty, alas.

We'll talk at the station!

- don't you like my office? - The Commissioner wants to see you.

Tell him to come.

- Come on! - Just a minute!

I have a warrant to pinch you, signed and everything.

Perry Collins.

For a detective, you're no big deal.

A big shot, me? I'm a shepherd, Rex Berger.

Here we go.

Admit it, it's King's ball. Why steal it?

I love the bell that tinkles inside.

We found this in your office.

- Dog food. - That's right.

- Why is that? - Because I like it.

Would you like some?

You told Ellen that poison killed the mutt.

- The dog. - The mutt, the mutt, the mutt.

It contained strychnine.

- How do you know that? - I can feel it.

- I don't feel anything. - that's normal, but I do.

Are you sure this is it?

- I know this poison well. - Why do you ask?

- I took one once. - What did you say?

By accident, of course.

- What happened next? - Then I died.

Very funny!

You found the bottle yesterday at Miss Hathaway's?

How did you know where to look?

- I have a nose. - Are you a detective or a perfumer?

It's a very large property.

It covers 6 hectares. Splendid trees!

- You know this place well. - It's what I do.

The gardener's snarling bitch...

- why does she have you? - Tillie has a crush on me.

You suspect of poisoning?

We're not ruling anything out. Let's get down to business.

- Where were you the night of the crime? - I'll never forget it.

I ate something that stuck to my stomach. on my stomach.

- I don't care. Where have you been? - At home.

We didn't find any files in your office.

- Why do you ask? - It's all in my head.

How's business?

I eat my fill.

That'll do. Everything fits.

You're under arrest for poisoning.

- Are you arresting me? - Yes, I am.

- Take him away. - You've got it all wrong, Superintendent.

I can't be guilty.

I think he's nuts.

His answers are incoherent.

The old "I'm messing with you" trick.

Detectives are smart. This guy's no dummy.

But he won't have me.

Berger has been on the case for quite some time...

since the old man died.

He knew that if the dog died, his heir would be blamed...

that is, Miss Hathaway.

She was willing to pay to ward off suspicion.

So he poisoned the dog...

with the idea of looking for a pigeon to wear the hat...

and pocket the 10 reward bricks reward bricks.

A hunch of my own.

How long can you keep it together on a hunch?

Time to hide a microphone in his office.

Get in there!

- Got a smoke? - I don't smoke.

- Why did you dive? - Dive?

Why are you in the slammer?

They think I poisoned a dog.

- The rich dog? - Yes.

Guys! Guys! This is the scumbag who zapped the wealthy cador.

- Wrong! - This is as low as it gets.

Dog poisoner.

I would have seen it all!

A dog poisoner deserves to have his head smashed in.

I couldn't agree more.

I'm not sleeping with that bastard.

Neither do I.

Get him out of here!

We don't deserve this in our cell.

- You've got it all wrong. - I'll take care of it!

That dirty dog bit me!

Keep your mouth shut!

Quiet!

You've barely arrived and it turns into a riot.

- We were fine without him. - Quiet! Quiet!

Shit-blower, lie down in the corner over there.

Yes, sir.

- Dirty dog! - The cell should be disinfected.

For your sake...

stay down.

Flight from New York and Chicago...

door 5.

Passengers can can collect their luggage...

in the lobby.

That must be him. Grandpa! Grandpa!

Grandpa! Grandpa!

I'm so happy to see you.

It's good to see you again.

Meet Perry Collins.

Pleased to meet you, Captain.

Are you the pipsqueak who seduced my granddaughter?

- That's the one. - Is tomorrow the big day?

- My lucky day. - And mine.

- I wanted to wait until you got here. - That's nice of you.

And to think that our little Ellen is getting married! How you've grown!

The last time I saw Grandpa, I was three apples high.

The car is over there.

Hi, guys.

The pound caught you, huh?

He's just come in.

All set? Switch on the appliance.

It's about time!

- Did you get away with it? - No, I didn't make it.

- You didn't convince her? - They put me in jail.

Why is that?

For killing myself.

Tell them it's impossible.

I can't tell them that.

It's true. It's true. We've never seen a dog commit suicide.

They confiscated my kibble.

- What do we do now? - Go back up there, I guess.

- You're a horse back. - A dog in a bowling alley.

Don't beat yourself up too much, honey.

You had a good run, but we've got you cornered.

You can't expect anything from humans, even from Miss Hathaway.

You're right, I didn't know how lucky I was.

I wouldn't like to be in the place of humans.

They know nothing about happiness.

When I was a filly, frolicking in the meadows,

it was already happiness. Good Kentucky grass...

All you can eat!

I was happy...

even when saddled.

After winning the Tanbark Tanbark race, I was refused nothing.

A private van to travel in, a heated stable...

oats imported from Iowa.

That's happiness.

Humans don't know that.

Before I died, I had the good life.

A beautiful home all my own.

No responsibilities, no taxes.

Tasty bones from the butcher.

A real dog's life!

My problems began when I inherited.

People treated me like a human being.

Do you have any kibble?

What would I do with it?

Are you sure you haven't hooked up on the menagerie?

What do I do with this crap?

800 $.

- Where do you get them? - Shopping.

Miracle Boy won 40-1.

We're related, actually. My aunt's grandson.

- How related? - Second cousin.

Money is useless. Throw it in the garbage.

- Turn it off, I've heard enough. - So have I.

Take this to the station.

I keep repeating that human beings deserve their fate.

- Do you regret coming back down? - Yes, I've had enough.

- When do we go back up? - Tonight.

- When the moon is at its zenith. - Not a moment too soon.

Let Miss Hathaway keep her money, she deserves no better!

Just a minute! What if she'd planned the whole thing?

- What is it? - My assassination.

- You said she was innocent. - She is innocent.

If I convince the cops otherwise, the inheritance will be blocked.

And Collins will be going to Tulsa for good.

Where's the money? You're making such a fuss!

- What do you want to do? - We might need it.

Oats imported from Iowa.

That's happiness.

Listen to him.

Humans don't know that.

Before I died, I had the good life.

A beautiful home all my own.

No responsibilities, no taxes.

Tasty bones from the butcher.

A real dog's life!

Rex Berger wants to see you. He says it's important.

Keep him waiting.

Stop that thing, Louie.

- He's a zany guy. - They're throwing money away.

She won it by betting on a nag, her cousin.

To the second degree.

Let me lock them up in a madhouse.

If the press finds out that we've arrested this lunatic...

they'll laugh at us. I'll get rid of them.

Send me Berger.

I'll take care of it.

Commissioner, I'd like to get something off my chest.

- I'm ready to confess. - I'm ready to confess.

Perfect.

Call the clerk.

- What for? - To take my statement.

I'll spit it out.

Really, huh? Perfect.

Hyatt knows shorthand.

Of course you can.

You can start.

I'll tell you all about it.

After the cador inherited the $6 million...

Let me know if I'm going too fast.

Don't worry about me. I'll make a note of everything.

You were right, I killed the dog.

- How much is the deposit? - No deposit.

- Aren't you going to arrest me? - No, I'm not stopping you.

- I don't get it. - Well, I do.

You admit that you poisoned the dog.

Yes, you need a reason.

You've said enough. Thank you for your time.

You need a reason, don't you?

As long as you confess to the crime, that's good enough for us.

Go back to your desk and don't let it happen again!

We're overwhelmed.

Listen to the name of my accomplice.

Tell him to give us a tip for the trifecta...

and we'll call it even.

I don't think you understand. My accomplice is Ellen Hathaway.

She hired me for 10 grand.

She never paid me, which is why I'm turning her in.

Listen...

you've been good to us. We'll do the same.

If you don't say anything...

we won't say anything.

What do you mean "nothing"?

I'll help you solve the case.

That's nice of you.

I appreciate your help. I'm going to make you a present.

Something's not right here. I come to confess everything and...

Fido, go back to your kennel and never come this way again.

And take your filly to graze elsewhere!

If I'm innocent, I'm arrested. If I'm guilty, I'm released.

Let's go, Goldie.

How did you get out?

They kicked me out. They think I'm crazy.

They gave me back my ball calling me "Fido".

- They did? - They told me to take you grazing.

- You didn't reveal our identity? - No, I haven't.

Humans are animals.

A little help, brother?

Alms, sir?

I have a little something. Hold this.

How's $800?

800 $ !

We're moving camp!

Look, boxers.

Bloody little rascals.

"Father: the champion Max Von Eisenstadt."

My old friend. These are his children, his puppies.

- What's new? - "Idywild kennels in Irvgton".

"Idywild.

- Where are we going? - See Max.

- We're leaving tonight! - We'll be there on time.

Wait for us here.

Is Max home?

I'd like to see it, it's urgent.

Enter.

That's the one.

Max, it's me, King.

Do they treat you well?

I saw your little ones in town. They're beautiful.

- He knows you. - Of course, they're buddies.

You also have horses.

Mr. Smith has splendid thoroughbreds.

- Can I go and see him? - Please do.

- I need that dog. - He's not for sale.

- I need it for an hour. - It doesn't leave here.

- I'll bring him back, I swear! - No, you can't.

- Do you know Miss Hathaway? - Yes, I know Miss Hathaway.

I have to take it to her. She'll reward you.

Mr. Smith would send me back.

- Where's your boss? - He's in town.

Where?

You're wasting your time.

Dirty thoroughbreds!

Argo! Tess!

Goldie, we're going home empty-handed.

Good-bye, Max. Until the next time.

Let's go.

Wait!

Watch this guy.

Come on, Max!

Remember commando training.

Climb to the top, come on!

Come on, Max. Climb the ladder like a commando.

Come on, Max. Don't be discouraged.

You can do it, come on!

Good boy, Max!

Let's go, Goldie.

- Did you see Max climb? - Not bad.

A horse couldn't do it.

Chez Lindsay. Go for it!

Get me the police, quick.

Let's drink to the to the groom-to-be.

My wedding gift to you, little guy.

Thank you, sir.

A compass. I used to dream about it.

She's shown me the right way all my life.

You can't come in.

Let's drink to the health to the bride-to-be.

Come in, and we'll drink to your health.

I hope to arrive in time.

- You're just in time for a drink. - I don't drink.

You're out of prison?

Detectives are on the payroll.

I mistook him for a wedding guest.

Not really.

You wanted to know why I was asking you to postpone the wedding?

Not at all.

Get out or I'll have you out of here.

Since you like to see old friends...

I've brought one who'd like to see you.

Good boy. I've got a surprise for you.

A nice dog who loves everyone.

Well, almost. And smart too!

Meet an old friend of yours.

Show that you have a good memory.

This is Corporal Collins. Do you remember him?

What the hell is this?

Remember Max? He was in San Carlos.

Your fiancé wasn't lying. He knew King.

But he didn't say it all.

He beat the regiment's dogs.

He injured King and made it look like an accident.

He's crazy!

Tell him why you came to see King...

and how you poisoned her so she'd inherit.

Tell him before Max gets revenge.

You don't believe that, do you?

Tell him all about it.

- That's Max. - Take him with you.

This man stole this dog.

He says you wanted to buy it.

This is not true.

- Come on, let's go. - Wait, wait, wait, wait!

This lady was with him. She galloped off.

I had to go up to 70 km/h to catch up.

I was running on muddy ground. Otherwise...

And she kicks like a mule.

A mule, me! What an insult!

It's good.

Arrest him for King's murder.

I warned you, we can't help humans.

That's the one. Hold it.

- Did you pay for it? - Of course not!

Smith?

- Commander Smith? - You are?

I was in your dog regiment in San Carlos.

You must have forgotten me, we were so much.

But you are handing over Corporal Collins?

Say hello to your commander.

I remember you now.

I expelled you for cruelty.

- What are you doing here? - I'm engaged...

- to Miss Hathaway. - I'm sorry to hear that.

- Remember King? - Of course you do.

One of our best dogs.

It was through King that they met.

Collins renewed his "friendship with King.

Friendship between King and Collins?

Strange coincidence:

King died of poisoning shortly afterwards.

I heard about his death.

Collins was able of the game.

Maybe not.

What does this have to do with Max's theft?

I should have explained. I'm a detective now.

I knew Collins was guilty, but I couldn't prove it without Max.

That's why I had to borrow it.

You don't recognize me, but Max does.

Right?

Are you pressing charges against this man?

- I don't think so. - Thank you for your time.

I'm filing a complaint against him. I'll sign it tomorrow.

You won't be here tomorrow.

You've got a survey up there, up north. We have to leave early.

That's right. Thank you for your time.

A very important matter. We have a flight to catch.

Keep it locked until I get back.

Freshwater sailor, he stole my compass!

I'm not putting you back...

but I'm happy to shake your hand.

I've learned never to forget a friend.

Like you, Max.

You're worthy of your pedigree.

- Good luck, Berger. - Thank you, Berger.

This old owl is the source of our troubles.

He was one of us. You just didn't recognize him.

It wasn't an owl...

but a parrot.

Yes, a humanimal.

He loved to swing and died at 103.

He died young. At the Bestiolatoire, we've had parrots as old as 150.

The moon is in the right place.

It's time to go, my pet.

It's the only thing I'll regret.

The only one?

What else?

No, nothing. Let's go.

- I owe you an apology. - No, you don't.

I wasn't of your interest.

Maybe it is.

- I hope to see you again. - Of course you do.

Why not?

You can't. Remember our date.

I'll be away for a long time.

Come and visit me when you get back.

If only I could stay...

That's the life of a detective.

Goodbye. It's been a great joy.

The reward! I forgot your cheque.

I've already been rewarded. I did it for love... of art.

You're entitled to it. It'll only take a minute.

- What are you waiting for? - The check.

- You're crazy! - $10,000, anyway!

Who are useless up there.

I forgot.

We've got just enough time to get there.

You see, we can help humans.

Let's give this bum a life sentence.

It's you, young man.

Thank you for saving my compass and my granddaughter.

An investigation worthy of Scotland yard.

Accept this compass...

- as a reward. - It has no use where we're going.

Spaceships, huh? Happy landing.

You too, Lassie.

Wow!

This mutt takes the liberty to call me Lassie.

He's a scotch terrier!

- Repeat that. - The captain is a humanimal.

A scotch terrier. So Ellen is...

Humanimal. She is descended from a sheepdog...

Goldie, I'm not going with you anymore.

You must leave. If you stay, you'll have to live here for the rest of your life.

So why not?

I think it will be worth it.

But then you'll become one of them.

Use your nose.

Wouldn't you like to stay?

I haven't found anyone who makes me want to.

Then you must go or you'll miss the start.

Farewell, Rex.

Farewell, Goldie.
