scott turner is a police investigator in cypress beach, california. bored with the lack of serious crime with his current work, turner is set to transfer to a much better position in sacramento, leaving fellow investigator david sutton to replace him. turner shows david around in the three days left before his transfer, meeting with long time friend amos reed for a final time. the two investigators are then called to the discovery of $8,000 found at the local beach. that same evening, amos is murdered by an affiliate of local seafood magnate walter boyett when amos reveals his suspicions of boyett's operations. turner is alerted to the crime the following morning, resulting in scott taking in hooch, amos' pet dogue de bordeaux. scott immediately takes hooch to the new town veterinarian emily carson. scott pleads with emily to take in hooch as he has no experience of handling such an animal before. however, emily insists that hooch will be good for scott, who lives alone.
turner & hooch
dr. hooch, played by phill lewis, was an orthopedic surgeon whom turk and j.d. enjoyed antagonizing. when he was introduced, he was an easygoing guy, but because of a combination of people accidentally calling his name and j.d. and turk pulling pranks, he gradually became angrier and eventually snapped. hooch became very aggressive; he once knocked a man out with his shoe for trying to exit an elevator he was guarding for j.d. earlier in the same episode, when j.d. and turk put bouillon cubes in his shower head, he rushed out of the shower room and threatened everyone in the area: "if it happens again, i will wait in my suv—blast me some speed metal, 5.1 surround sound, heavy on the bass—and someone will be getting mowed down.") upon learning that turk was the culprit, he threatened to take one of turk's fingers as his own "funny prank." in response to hooch's extreme behavior, j.d. and turk habitually said "hooch is crazy" in a nonchalant tone. they paired him with another doctor, dr. paul turner (played by jim hanks, brother of tom hanks, who played the titular turner in the movie "turner & hooch"), in one episode to create what j.d. described as "a super medical crime-fighting team," turner and hooch. despite resenting j.d. and turk for the manipulation, turner and hooch formed a good team and were near tears when they were forced to split. hooch briefly replaced turk as j.d.'s best friend and was given the nickname chocolate bear two.
