Paws P.I.

Okay. How are we getting in?

Actually, I'm not so sure.

You're not sure?

Well, I thought that, by the time we made it...

that I would've figured it out.

Yeah, but‐‐

Okay, let's figure this out.

All right, let's check the windows

Let's look around.

Where do you think the will is?

I'm not sure.

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

I'll have you know, I watched every single Scooby‐Doo episode

at least twice.

This is what they'd exactly do.

You do realize that's a cartoon?

Doesn't mean it's not real.

Let's go here.

Wait. Hold up.

Double up.

Go! Go! Go!

Who's ever down there, show yourself. We're armed.

Go! Go! Go!

Remind me when you come up with a brilliant idea, to pass.

I'm really sorry, Madison! It's okay!

I'm super‐sorry!

Good move, Peter.

Oh, I bet I could do that.

Atta boy. Good move, Peter.

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.

Jackson, come on. We gotta go. We're late!

Dad's going to kill us!

What? We just got here.

Boy, I hate it when he does this.

Ah, boarding. It's the life.

What? Never seen a skateboarding dog before?

Peter, wait up! What's the rush?

I'm tired, you butt.

I'm gonna walk the rest of the way.

What are you doing? Hey, not as young as you.

Dog years, remember?

Come on, boy. We're gonna be late.

Let's go, Jackson. Let's go.

Okay, okay. I only have four paws.

Yes! The coast is clear.

Come on, Jackson. Let's go, boy.

Finally! Time for lunch.

Let's go. We can't be late again.

You got that right.

Yes, we beat Dad home.

Peter! You're late.

I told you not to be late again today.

Dad, I have a good excuse. It was‐‐

Put your gear down. Lunch is almost ready.

Well, it's about time you got here, Jackson.

Sit on the couch or something.

Ah, my favorite chair.

You always have an excuse

and I don't want to hear your excuses anymore.

But, Dad, I...

Can't wait to hear what he comes up with this time.

I expect you had something to do with Master Peter's tardiness.

You're always getting him into some sort of travesty

with your shenanigans.

Skateboarding? Really, Jackson, when are you going to grow up?

It wasn't my fault, "Greeny."

Peter was having fun and he lost track of time.

And after what he's been through this last year,

he needs to enjoy himself.

And you consider that contraption to be fun?

Perish the thought!

I should never have let you watch that Downton Abbey.

Along with your accent, you've become a snob.

Hey Dad, why do you always have a problem with me

going to the skate park?

If only his dad knew how much he likes skateboarding

and how it helps him.

We both know the real issue is he misses his mother.

Yeah, Peabody, you're right about that.

I‐‐ I don't want to discuss it.

It just helps me get things off my mind.

Look pal, I know it's been a tough year.

And I know you miss your mom. I miss her, too.

All right, but...

I guess what I'm trying to say is that

I just want to see my son once in a while.

Okay, Dad.

And remember, tomorrow we gotta go to the cemetery

for the one‐year memorial service.

Your Aunt Niki and Uncle George are going to be picking us up.

Um, wait, why is Aunt Niki picking us up?

Don't we have our own car?

Oh, right. Yeah, well the car is in the shop.

It's getting a tune‐up.

Do you think his dad will come clean and tell the truth?

Personally, I would have thought Master Peter would have realized for himself.

With the stereo missing, along with the gym equipment.

So, your Aunt Niki is going to come and pick us up.

What? She's nice.

She's always patting my head. What am I, a dog?

She pats me on the head like I'm a dog.

I don't even do that to Jackson. Haven't you seen her?

Do I really have to go?

Yes. I want you there. It's important.

And... you be nice to your Aunt Niki.

I'll be on my best behavior. Thank you.

Poor kid tries to cover it,

but I know how much he's still hurting.

His mother was a wonderful woman.

She loved all animals.

Thank goodness for us.

You were one day away from... you know what.

And luckily, when I was completely lost,

I flew in her kitchen window.

I'll never forget that day.

And Peabody, you've been a pain ever since.

Oh, Jackson, must we always bicker and fight?

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

It's like the fourth time this week.

What? That's my specialty.

Hey, come in.

Hey, Madison. What's up?

Wanna do something? I got my bike.

Actually, I just made lunch. You wanna join us?

Wait, wait. Think this through.

Only peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Sure. Thanks, Mr. Williams.

See? There's somebody who likes my sandwiches.

Well, if it isn't the queen, gracing us with her presence.

Don't bother to get up, peasant.

And when was the last time you had a bath?

I can smell you from over here.

Oh, children. Must we?

Oh, shut up, Peabody.

This game is so easy.

I'd like to see you try.

Hey, I can skateboard.

All you do is ride around on Madison's bike in a basket.

As if. I have no idea what Peter sees in you.

You've been spending a lot of time in the skate park lately.

Yeah. Working on my slides.

What have you been up to?

Riding my bike, you know?

Sorry about your dad.

Oh no. Oh no. This is not good.

I hope she doesn't say what I think she's gonna say.

She's not gonna say anything.

What about him?

Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. Abort! Abort! Abort!

This is not going to end well. I just know it.

You know... his business.

Jackson! Bark, you fool. Bark!

We need a distraction.

Wait, what are you talking about?

My dad's the best private eye in town.

I know. It's just...

Okay, fine. "Ruff ruff." How's that?

My mom told me he shut down his office and moved everything out.

Too late.

Can't you dogs do anything you're told?

You just can't count on a canine.

Speak for yourself.

Dogs can do everything better than birds.

What? He would've told me something like that.

I'm so sorry, Peter. I thought you knew.

Maybe I should just go home.

Come on, Cleo.

Now that he knows, I wonder what Peter's gonna do.

He is a good boy.

I'm sure he will think of something.

All right, kiddo. Let's get you ready for bed.

Dad, is everything all right?

Yeah, it's great. Why?

Madison said you closed down the office.

Why would you do something like that and not tell me?

I'm not a kid anymore.

I know.

I should've told you.

Business has been slow.

Maybe my heart hasn't been in it, you know...

ever since your mom...

She was always the one that supported me.

That went well I think.

What about you, Peabody?

The best it could be... all things considered.

It's okay, Dad.

You just have to pick yourself up,

dust yourself off, and laugh about it.

That's what Mom would say, right?

Are you sure you're only 11?

Your mom would be so proud of you.

Dad, what's debt?

Are we out of money?

Is that why you sold the car and all the other stuff?

Look, I don't want you to worry about that, okay, buddy?
