Line 2:
Dogs have been brought out to track some quarry and have been sniffing about. One starts to bay, and the others join it, and they all chase off.
 
Because [['''They Have the Scent]]'''. And someone will say so. In these words, or others. It's sometimes "They've picked up the scent." or "They've picked up the trail." The second may also be used when the [[Scarily Competent Tracker]] is clearly following.
 
If the dogs are hunting people, they are loud enough to be heard by the pursued, who may be the ones who say this. It indicates that [[The Chase]] is about to begin in earnest, and that evasion will not be feasible, or require throwing the dogs off. Generally a grim point. And the pursuee will almost always go to water or roll in something disgusting to throw the animals off the scent. (This ''always'' works on television. [[Reality Is Unrealistic|Contrary to what most people expect]], it does not work in real life.)
