if they're all going to run away.

If a third dog runs away I'm going

to have to start taking it personally.

Shadow! Where are you, boy?

Anyway, mom,

I'm going to have to go.

I have to put the little munchkins...

Julie! Put that... put that down!

Mom, I've got to put

the little ones to bed.

Victoria, can you just stay

with me for a second?

Can you stay on the line with me?

Shadow.

What is it, boy?

What? Mom?

Hello? Mom?

Is everything okay?

Delores! Delores!

Delores! Delores!

Delores!

Hello, you've reached

Delores and Jonathan.

Please leave us your name

and number and we'll...

Delores! Delores!

- Mom?

- Delores!

- Delores!

- Mom?!

Okay. Call me back.

Shadow?

What did I do with the guns?

Shadow?

Shadow?

Shadow?

It's me, boy. C'mon.

Shadow?

Shadow? Shadow?

It's okay.

Daddy's here.

It's okay.

Daddy's here, boy.

Shadow.

You know we wouldn't have to come back here

if you hadn't left early last night, right?

You smell that?

- No.

- Swear to God,

I can smell this old folk smell

from all the way up here.

- Really?

- It's following me.

Why is it that they

don't smell the same?

It's almost like, it's on their furniture,

it's on their clothes. I don't even know.

- Is it something medical, you think?

- Dude. Not all old people smell like that.

No, no, no! Old people do smell like that,

I'm telling you.

I smell my grandfather like, every day.

I sleep with him.

I've been sleeping with him

for ten years. In the same bed!

I'm not even lying to you, man!

I'm serious.

Yeah, just be glad

it's not patchouli, alright?

You're lucky you were on vacation when we

had to move this guy from the north end.

He had like twenty guitars that all...

- Oh, man.

- Jesus!

You alright, Mr. McKinley?

Oh, f***!

Help me, please. My dog...

Don! Don! Come over here, Don!

Get over here now!

No. Yeah, I'm up here right now.

It happened some time last night.

Well, I'm at least an hour

out of the city so...

Look, I'll call you

as soon as I leave here, okay?

Alright. Thank you.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Was that work?

- Yeah.

I'm catching hell

from missing this meeting.

Will, did you seriously leave

your father alone in the new house

without a working phone?

Honey, what were you thinking?

I wasn't, okay? I've been

a little scattered... recently,

and besides, I thought that the movers

took care of that sort of thing.

You know, he was sitting at home

by himself until someone found him.

How is he now?

- You know what? I don't know.

- What do you mean?

Well, his "okay" and his "not okay,"

they look exactly the same.

Mr. McKinley.

Do you have any idea

what attacked you and Shadow?

No. Whatever it was, it was big.
