- I hope I didn't disturb you.

You know, I realize we were making

sort of a racket over there.

In fact, l-I saw your light come on

over here, I realized I woke you up,

and I thought I'd better come over

and make sure everything's all right.

Well, you just mind your own business.

This is private property.

Okay, but you know what?

I'm thinking if we disturbed you,

I ought to compensate you a little bit,

just to make up for any inconvenience...

I don't want any of your money.

I've been watching you.

I've been seeing

what you're doing over there.

Hey, wait a minute. I can assure you,

we're doing nothing wrong over there.

- You get the hell off my dock!

- Don't!

No, don't you shove me.

You understand?

I'm gonna introduce you to my dog.

[Stifled Screaming]

[Growls]

- [Growling]

- Jesus.

[Whimpering]

[Howling]

[Phone Ringing]

[Sighs] Hello. Yeah.

Yeah, I am now.

Uh, I'Il-I'll be right there.

[Men Chattering]

- Yo.

- Really? Turn around.

The dog was guardin' the body.

They had to wrestle him inside.

- Ah, d-d-did you talk to anybody?

- Nobody heard or saw anything.

Seafood workers spotted the body.

- You ever investigate a murder before?

- Are you kiddin'?

- I moved here

to get away from murder scenes.

- Well, everybody's watchin',

so let's look like

we've done this before.

[Hooch Barking]

[Barking Continues]

[Coughs, Chokes]

All right.

I got five rolls of film.

Burn it up.

- [Man] Great, it's those jerks

from the Sheriff's Department.

- [Siren Blaring]

Hi, guys.

- [Siren Approaching]

- Hello there, ladies.

We'II, uh, call you

if we need any help, Turner.

Foster and McCabe. Glad to see you.

I need coffee, with cream.

- Do you take sugar?

- Two sugars.

- Two sugars.

- That's cute.

Look, in the spirit of cooperation,

I'd love it if you guys would get

the hell out of here. Is that okay?

The pier is our jurisdiction, guys.

Yeah, but the entire county's the

Sheriff's jurisdiction. You know that.

[Foster]

This is police work, not a lost bicycle.

- [Barking Continues]

- Excuse me.

What is this, a joke?

Come on, every little speck of dirt

is not evidence.

What are you going to do, Turner?

Put the entire pier in a little baggie?

- What is that for?

- To preserve what's ever

underneath the fingernails.

[Scoffs] For what? He was stabbed

in the back, for cryin' out loud.

[Turner] You can never anticipate

what evidence is going to be important.

- You gather it now, analyse it later.

- Right.

[Foster]

Did you read that in a book?

Yeah. Yeah.

I did read that in a book.

It was a great big blue book,

but I think you woulda liked it.

It had a lot of pictures!

- [All Talking]
