Ace Of Hearts Page #4

Uh! Uh! Get back!

Help me.! He bit my neck.!

He attacked me.!

[Screaming]

Someone... Oh, man!

Ohh.! He bit my neck.!

This is Harding, K-9 Unit 1.

- I have the subject sighted.

- He's tryin' to kill me!

- [Growling Continues]

- Call him off!

- Help me! Help me! [Screams]

- Come here! Come here! Off! Off!

Come here.! Come on.!

Come here.!

Down! Down. Down.

[Groaning]

You blew it, buddy.

You blew it bad.

Hey. I need an ambulance

here immediately.

[Groaning, Gasping]

[Woman]

We're on the way.

- [Man] They're still sweeping it down, sir.

- [Police Radio Chatter]

We're gonna do it.

Ready? Let's lift him up.

[Man] I don't know. There's something

wrong with this whole scenario.

This dog's got an exemplary track record.

Dan Harding's one of our finest officers...

and this guy Torko's

got a rap sheet...

longer than a kid's

Christmas wish list.

So we need to do a little damage control.

Let's have a press conference immediately.

If there's anything else,

just refer it back to my office.

[Chuckles]

You can't hold the guy

without something linking him to the scene.

This has got to be Goliath. I've got

a newspaper delivery guy who saw him.

You got a delivery guy

whose driver's license...

says he's required to wear glasses,

which he wasn't.

His eyewitness testimony is worthless.

[Exclaims, Sighs]

Look, Torko's lawyer

is shrewdly playing this...

as an attack on an unarmed citizen

out for his morning hike.

He's threatening a monster lawsuit

unless the charges are dropped...

which is what my boss

is recommending.

I'm sorry, Joe.

That makes two of us.

Look, he's a repeater.

You'll get him on the next one.

Of course, the dog will

have to be put down.

- Put down?

- Euthanized.

I'm afraid it's the law.

Once they go bad,

they're an obvious danger to the public.

Four-legged liability.

[Sighs]

Dan.

There is no way Ace would have

just attacked him.

Ace is an animal.

Animals get mad. Animals bite.

- No. Not Ace.

- It's out of my hands.

Come on, Captain.

You cannot let 'em do this.

The best I can do is arrange for you

to be there with him when...

you know, when it happens.

- They're taking him up to Spokane, and that's that.

- Spokane?

It seems this thing has to be done

strictly according to procedures.

The K-9 clinic and training facility

are in Spokane...

so that's where they have to take him.

I've, uh, asked them

to send you his ashes.

- So at least you'll have a...

- A souvenir?

[Door Opens, Closes]

[Exhales]

Sorry, man.

[Dog Barking In Distance]

- [Whimpering]

- Shh. Shh. Good-bye. I'm sorry, good buddy.

[Whimpering]

Come on. Here we go.

- [Whimpering]

- It's okay.

Hush, hush. Hush, hush.
