-WINNERS!
-YOU GUYS ARE CHEATERS.
-WE'RE WINNERS.
-OH, WHAT'S THIS, HUH?
HAVEN'T WORKED OUT IN A WHILE.
-THERE'S NOTHING THERE TO PINCH.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
-OH, YEAH, NOTHING A LITTLE
LIEUTENANT'S UNIFORM WON'T HIDE.
IF YOU CAN FIND ONE TO FIT
YOUR FIRST DAY ON THE JOB.
-HEY, LET'S GO BACK OUT.
REMATCH.
-LET'S GO.
-WAIT A SECOND.
GAYLE'S PICKING HOBIE UP
AT 8:00.
-COME ON, DAD.
-I'M SORRY PAL.
YOU KNOW THE NEW SCHEDULE.
-HEY, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
NEXT TIME YOU AND I WILL TEAM UP
AND WE'LL SHOW THE OLD MAN
WHAT REAL ATHLETES CAN DO.
-HEY, JILL, WINNERS.
-YEAH.
-CHEATERS.
YOU GUYS ARE CHEATERS.
[SOFT MUSIC]
-HEY, MITCH,
SAY GOODBYE TO YOU SKI.
-GOODBYE TO MY SKI.
HAVE FUN GUYS.
HERE, TAKE THIS.
-CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
-SURE, GO AHEAD.
-WELL, IF YOU'RE JUST
FRIENDS WITH A GIRL,
IS IT ALL RIGHT TO RUB
SUNTAN OIL ON HER BACK?
-YEAH.
WHY DO YOU ASK?
-'CAUSE LAST SUNDAY EVERYONE
WAS HANGING OUT BY TOWER 25...
-UH-HUH.
-AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
CHELSEA CARROL LOOKS OVER AT ME,
AND HER VOICE
GETS ALL BREATHY AND SHE SAYS,
"HOBIE, WOULD YOU PLEASE
RUB SOME OIL ON MY BACK."
-OH, WHAT DID YOU DO?
-I TOLD HER
I COULDN'T GET MY HANDS GREASY
BECAUSE I HAD A SURF SKI LATER.
-WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
-I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS
I WAS TOO EMBARRASSED.
-YOU? HOBIE THE MAGNIFICENT,
EMBARRASSED?
GIVE ME A BREAK.
-WHAT SHOULD I DO
IF SHE ASKS ME AGAIN?
-LET'S SEE,
YOU'RE THIRTEEN, RIGHT?
TRY IT, SEE WHAT YOU THINK.
COME ON WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
-UH, DAD, WHAT ABOUT HER FRONT?
-WHAT ABOUT HER FRONT?
-WELL, SHOULD I RUB OIL
ON HER STOMACH
OR HER LEGS OR SOMETHING?
-I THINK THAT SHE CAN REACH
ALL THOSE PARTS BY HERSELF.
CRAIG: HONEY, DID I WAKE YOU?
GINA: HUH?
CRAIG: I JUST HEARD
THE BEACH REPORT,
THERE'S GOING TO BE
A MILLION PEOPLE TODAY
AND THE SURF
IS GOING TO BE POUNDING.
I REALLY HAVE TO WORK
A TOWER TODAY.
GINA: I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO GO
INTO YOUR OFFICE
TO PREPARE FOR TRIAL ON MONDAY.
-OH, YOU OUGHT TO SEE THE BEACH
THIS MORNING, GINA.
IT'S SPECTACULAR.
GINA: OH, CRAIG, WIFELY ADVICE.
GET IN THE LEFT LANE,
GET OFF THE FREEWAY,
BE A LAWYER TODAY.
-OH, HELL, I CAN'T GO
TO THE OFFICE TODAY, GINA.
IF ANYONE NEEDS ME,
I'M AT TOWER 26.
[SOFT MUSIC]
-WHAT STATE OR SIGNS DO
YOU LOOK FOR IN THE WATER?
-OKAY, LOW STROKES, UH,
ELBOWS DRAGGING
AND HAIR IN THE EYES.
UH, SWIMMING THE WRONG WAY
IN A RIP CURRENT
AND CLIMBING THE LADDER.
HALLE: CLIMBING THE WHAT?
-CLIMBING THE LADDER.
-OKAY, YOU KNOW,
WHEN A VICTIM'S DROWNING,
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S
PULLING UP, CLIMBING A LADDER.
OH, HALLE, SLOW DOWN.
-DO YOU KNOW HIM?
-HIS NAME'S EDDIE SOMETHING
OR OTHER,
WE WENT TO
ROOKIE SCHOOL TOGETHER.
[CAR HORN HONKING]
PULL UP NEXT TO HIM.
HI.
REMEMBER ME? I'M SHAUNI
FROM ROOKIE SCHOOL.
-I KNOW.
-SO WHICH HEADQUARTERS
DID YOU GET?
-BAYWATCH.
-YOU DID? SO DID I.
I WAS SO SCARED
THAT THEY WERE GOING TO PUT ME
NEXT TO THE AIRPORT WITH THOSE
NOISY JETS GOING OVER ALL DAY.
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU CAME IN
NUMBER ONE
SO YOU GOT TO PICK BAYWATCH,
BUT I CAME IN 46TH.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT IT.
SO WOULDN'T IT BE BITCHING
IF WE GOT TO WORK TOWERS
NEXT TO EACH OTHER TODAY?
-THEY, UH, THEY PUT THE ROOKIES
NEXT TO THE VETERANS.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
-WHAT'S HIS STORY?
-HE'S NOT FROM AROUND HERE.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[CAR HORNS HONKING]
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-HEY, IT'S PERRY MASON.
-HEY.
-AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING
HERE TODAY?
-I GO TOO LONG WITHOUT
SAND BETWEEN MY TOES,
MY LIFE GETS SANE
AND MAKES ME CRAZY.
[MEN LAUGHING]
MIKE, NO SPITTING.
SECOND OFFENSE, MISDEMEANOR.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-BUT I DON'T GET WHY
I CAN'T KEEP LIVING WITH YOU
FOR A WEEK AND MOM FOR A WEEK
THE WAY IT'S BEEN.
-YOUR MOM THINKS LIVING WITH ME
CLOSE TO THE BEACH
IS TOO DISTRACTING
WHILE YOU'RE IN SUMMER SCHOOL.
-WELL, SHE'S WRONG.
-HOBIE, YOU BLEW
YOUR REPORT CARD, PAL.
-I KNOW, I'M SORRY.
-GRAB MY BOARD, WILL YOU?
-YEAH.
-YOU USED TO SKIP SCHOOL
TO GO SURFING.
IT DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IN YOUR LIFE.
-YEAH, IT DID.
-I JUST MISS YOU SO MUCH
WHEN I'M AT MOM'S.
-YEAH, WELL, I'M GOING
TO MISS YOU TOO, PAL.
LOOK, IT'S ONLY
FOR SUMMER SCHOOL.
IT'S SIX WEEKS, OKAY?
THEN WE'LL GO BACK
TO THE REGULAR SCHEDULE.
-I'M GOING TO MISS
JUNIOR LIFEGUARDS.
ALL MY FRIENDS WILL BE
AHEAD OF ME.
-I TELL YOU WHAT,
YOU DO WELL THE FIRST FEW WEEKS
IN SUMMER SCHOOL,
AND I'LL TALK TO YOUR MOM
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN WORK OUT.
-THE FIRST WEEK?
-NO, TWO, AT LEAST TWO.
[CAR HORN HONKING]
MITCH: SHE'S HERE.
-[SIGHS]
THAT ORIENTATION TODAY
IS GOING TO BE SO BORING.
-YEAH, WELL, IT'S A FRESH START
FOR BOTH OF US, HUH?
-GOOD LUCK TODAY, LIEUTENANT.
-THANKS, PAL.
AND DON'T WORRY, THE BEACH
ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE.
COME HERE.
YOU BE GOOD, HUH?
-I LOVE YOU, DAD.
-I LOVE YOU.
[MELLOW MUSIC]
[BIRDS SINGING]
-HEY, AL, WE'RE GOING TO BE
PULLING THEM OUT
LIKE TUNA TODAY.
CRAIG, MY BOY.
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU DOWN HERE
SINCE FOREVER.
-YEAH, IT'S BEEN A MONTH,
IT FEELS LIKE FOREVER.
HOP IN, I'LL GIVE YOU A LIFT
BACK TO HEADQUARTERS.
-CAN'T DO IT, GOT TO KEEP
THE BLOOD PUMPING.
-OH, AL, I GOT THAT BRIEF DONE.
I FOUND A LOOPHOLE
ON THE MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE
TO RETIRE
FOR ANOTHER 40 YEARS.
-[LAUGHS]
-GREAT, I APPRECIATE THAT,
CRAIG.
SEE YOU BACK AT THE HIVE.
-OKAY.
-MORNING, AL.
[MEN CHATTERING]
-OH.
I FEEL LIKE I'M STICKING MY HEAD
THROUGH ONE OF THOSE CUT-OUT
PHOTO THINGS ON THE PIER.
-YEAH, BUT YOU LOOK AWESOME.
I REALLY LIKE THE CRAB STOMPERS.
-I HATE HARD SHOES.
I CAN'T EVEN STAND SOCKS.
AL, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
[STATIC OVER RADIO]
-TEN-ONE, YOU'RE BREAKING UP
ON ME, CRAIG, SAY AGAIN.
[STATIC OVER RADIO]
-TEN-ONE, I STILL
CAN'T READ YOU, 208.
WHERE ARE YOU, CRAIG?
-TEN-THREE, UNDER THE PIER.
DICK: YOU MIGHT WANT
TO ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOW
SO THE GLASS DOESN'T SHATTER.
-THANKS, DICK.
[GASPS]
-[LAUGHS]
ALL RIGHT, ROGER, 208.
STAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE.
TOW IS ON THE WAY.
[BIRDS SINGING]
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
[BIRD SINGING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[TENSE MUSIC]
-[MOANS]
-[COUGHS]
-IT'S ALL RIGHT, DON'T MOVE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE JUST FINE.
[SENSUAL MUSIC]
-OKAY, PUT THIS ON.
IT'LL WARM YOU UP.
-IS THIS HIS?
WOMAN: WHO'S?
-THE LIFEGUARD WHO SAVED ME?
-AS A MATTER OF FACT,
YES, IT IS CRAIG'S.
THERE WE GO, COME ON, UP HERE.
LIE DOWN AND REST.
-[SIGHS]
-SO DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED NOW?
-OH, CAREFUL.
-WILL YOU SHUT UP
AND LET ME DO THIS?
SHE WAS SHAKEN UP PRETTY BAD,
BUT SHE GOT
NO SERIOUS INJURIES.
-WELL, LEAVE IT
TO THE MACHO LAWYER
TO GET STUCK UNDERNEATH THE PIER
AND PULL A RESCUE OUT OF IT.
-MITCH BUCHANNON IN A UNIFORM.
-[LAUGHS]
LOVE THOSE SHOES MITCH.
[LAUGHS]
LET ME GO SEE HOW SHE'S DOING.
-LET'S TAKE A LOOK HERE, HUH?
OH, ROUGH NIGHT, HUH?
-[MOANS]
-YEAH, IF YOU'D GOT WASTED
ON THAT PIER PILING,
BOTH OF YOU COULD HAVE DROWNED.
-OH, MY GOD,
HE TALKS LIKE A LIEUTENANT,
HE LOOKS LIKE A LIEUTENANT,
HE--
-ENOUGH, ENOUGH.
WHERE YOU'VE BEEN ANYWAY?
-WASHINGTON FCC CASE,
I WON IT, THEY'RE APPEALING.
YOU KNOW, IF I'D ONLY BEEN HERE,
I COULD HAVE TALKED YOU OUT
OF MAKING THE MOVE INSIDE.
-HEY, IF I COULDN'T TALK
MYSELF OUT OF IT,
EVEN YOU COULDN'T TALK ME
OUT OF IT.
-WHAT HAPPENED?
-IT WAS TIME.
-BY WHO'S CLOCK?
-MINE.
-SET BACK THE HANDS.
-GO HOME, WILL YOU?
IT'S MY FIRST DAY.
I DON'T NEED YOU RAGGING ME.
-GO HOME? ARE YOU KIDDING?
THIS IS A STORK.
-YOU'D BETTER SHOW ME
SOME RESPECT
IN FRONT OF THOSE ROOKIES, MAN,
I'LL KICK--
-DON'T WORRY.
I GIVE A SHORT
MITCH BUCHANNON BRIEFING
ABOUT HOW YOU GOT STEWED
SWIMMING AFTER THAT PARTY BOAT
WAITING FOR GIRLS
TO FALL OVERBOARD.
MITCH, YOU WERE LEGENDARY.
-AND I'LL TELL THEM WHO
WAS SWIMMING RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
-HI.
SO HOW DO YOU FEEL
AFTER BODY SURFING THE PIER?
KIND OF EXHILARATING, HUH?
MY NAME'S CRAIG, WHAT'S YOURS?
-LAURIE.
I'M REALLY SORRY
YOU HURT YOUR BACK, CRAIG.
-OH, IT'S JUST SOME SCRATCHES.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
ARE YOU FEELING OKAY?
YOU'RE PRETTY LUCKY,
WE HAD A COUPLE OF PIER JUMPERS
THE LAST FEW YEARS
WHO DIDN'T MAKE IT.
-I DIDN'T JUMP.
-OH.
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FALL OFF
THE END OF THE PIER.
-I WAS JUST BALANCING
ON THE RAIL.
I SLIPPED. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
-TAKING A PRETTY BIG CHANCE,
DON'T YOU THINK?
-DON'T PRETEND
YOU CARE ABOUT ME.
YOU WERE JUST DOING YOUR JOB.
YOU PROBABLY GET BONUS POINTS
FOR SAVING PEOPLE.
-50.
500 BIG ONES
AND I GET A NEW TOASTER.
LAURIE, I'VE GOT TO FILL OUT
A RESCUE REPORT.
YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT TO GET
SOME INFORMATION,
LIKE YOUR FULL NAME, WHERE YOU
LIVE, YOUR PHONE NUMBER.
-YOU DON'T--
-WHAT?
-YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL
MY PARENTS, DO YOU?
-HOW OLD ARE YOU?
-I'M OVER EIGHTEEN.
-LEGALLY, YOU'RE AN ADULT.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
-LAURIE ELIZABETH HARRIS.
I'M SORRY I SNAPPED AT YOU.
-I'M JUST GLAD
YOU'RE FEELING BETTER.
AND YOU LIVE...?
-3379, ENTRADA.
I GUESS I'M REALLY LUCKY
YOU SAW ME FALL.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
I BELIEVE IN FATE, DO YOU?
FATE?
NO.
-YOU SHOULD.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-CAN WE HAVE A LITTLE--
A LITTLE RESPECT
FOR THE NEW LIEUTENANT, PLEASE.
THIS BEACH IS GOING TO BE
MUCH BETTER THAN IT EVER WAS.
MORE COMPETITIVE, SAFER
AND WITH A LOT MORE
AND BETTER PARTIES, AM I RIGHT?
-YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
[CHEERING]
-ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
A GALA TONIGHT
HONORING OUR NEW HONCHO
IS A FISH-TIE-ONLY AFFAIR.
WE'RE COLLECTING MONEY
FOR HEAL THE BAY.
WE'VE GOT A GREAT PLACE DONATED,
SO DIG DEEP IN THOSE POCKETS,
RIGHT?
-THAT'S RIGHT.
AND WE NEED WOMEN,
GOOD LOOK WOMEN,
NONE OF THOSE UGLY WOMEN
YOU HANG OUT WITH, OKAY, JAMES?
SO I WANT YOU GUYS TO THINK
HIPS, LIPS AND FINGERTIPS.
TWO QUICK THINGS. MIKE NEWMAN?
-YEAH.
-DON'T WEAR THAT SILLY TOUPEE
TO THE PARTY.
NUMBER TWO, LET'S HAVE
A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE
FOR OUR NEW LIEUTENANT.
[CHEERING]
UH...
[LAUGHING]
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU
HOW TO DO YOUR JOBS.
SOME OF YOU'VE BEEN LIFEGUARDS
AS LONG AS I HAVE.
SOME OF YOU EVEN LONGER.
SO JUST DO ME A FAVOR, HUH?
MAKE ME LOOK GOOD.
MAN: OH, WE LOVE YOU.
-THAT'S IT.
OH, YEAH, SURF'S 3:00 TO 5:00,
VERY SHORT INTERVALS.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF WATER
ON THE BEACH,
RIP TIDES WILL BE PULLING,
I WANT PREVENTIONS
OUT THERE, OKAY?
LISTEN, IF YOU GUYS GOT
ANY BACK-UPS,
CALL INTO SID OVER HERE, HUH?
HEY, EDDIE, CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A SECOND?
SHAUNI.
JILL.
YOU'RE ON TOWER 27 TODAY.
-NO, WAIT.
-EXCUSE ME,
I'LL GET RIGHT TO YOU.
-BUT I WANT 27.
I HANG OUT THERE.
I KNOW THE BEACH AND I KNOW
ALL THE INSHORE HOLES.
MY FRIENDS ARE EXPECTING ME.
-YOU'RE NOT HANGING OUT TODAY,
YOU'RE WORKING.
TOWER 27 IS RIGHT NEXT
TO THE SAND AND SEA CLUB.
THEY'VE GOT
THEIR OWN LIFEGUARD,
BUT WE KIND OF WATCH
HIS WATER.
-THEN HE DOESN'T EXIST.
-FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES.
ALSO REMEMBER, KEEP AN EYE
ON THE RESCUE CAN
ON THE TOWER NEXT TO YOU.
IF IT'S MISSING,
YOU'D BETTER FIND OUT
WHERE THE LIFEGUARD IS.
-YOU GOT IT.
-YOU ARE ON THE RESCUE BOAT
WITH JILL HERE.
-ON A BOAT?
-OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH,
LIEUTENANT.
-I DO NOT WANT TO BE
STUCK OUT ON A BOAT ALL DAY.
-AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO CHANGE THE SUIT.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
THEY SAID GIRLS GET TO BUY
THEIR OWN SUITS.
-YEAH, BUT THERE'S
NO LIFEGUARD PATCH ON IT.
YOU GOT AN EXTRA ONE, DON'T YOU?
-I CAN SEW THE PATCH
ON THIS ONE.
-WHERE?
-I'M SURE THERE'S SOME
SWIM SUITS IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
-SHAUNI, COME HERE FOR A SECOND.
WHEN YOU'RE READY
TO BE PUT IN A TOWER,
I'LL PUT YOU IN ONE,
DON'T WORRY.
-SORRY I TOOK SO LONG.
OUR DRYER HAS ONE SETTING,
TUMBLE SLOW.
-THANK YOU.
CAN I KEEP YOUR SWEATSHIRT?
-IF YOU PROMISE NOT
TO TIGHTROPE-WALK THE PIER.
-[LAUGHS]
CROSS MY HEART.
-DEAL.
YOUR BICYCLE'S RIGHT OUTSIDE.
CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES,
AND SOMEONE WILL WALK YOU OUT.
-WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
-GOT TO OPEN UP MY TOWER.
BE CAREFUL,
NO MORE STUPID STUNTS.
-DEAL.

-CAPTAIN THORPE?
-YOU WERE A GOOD LIFEGUARD,
MITCH.
I'D HAVE TAKEN YOU
ON MY BEACH ANY DAY.
BUT I'M STILL NOT CONFIDENT
THEY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE,
PROMOTING YOU TO LIEUTENANT.
-WELL, I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO
WAIT
FOR MY PERFORMANCE
EVALUATION AND SEE.
-CHAIN OF COMMAND, MITCH,
YOU'RE PART OF IT NOW.
YOU'VE GOT TO SET AN EXAMPLE
FOR YOUR ROOKIES.
-OH, WAIT,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE ME
THE WEAK LINK SPEECH, ARE YOU?
-[LAUGHS]
ARE YOU HAPPY
WITH SHAUNI MCCLAIN?
-SHAUNI?
THANK YOU, TERRIFIC.
-HOW ABOUT YOUR VETERANS?
I'M THINKING OF AL
IN PARTICULAR.
YOU THINK HE CAN STILL
HANDLE THE SAND?
-I'D RATHER HAVE AL'S EXPERIENCE
ON MY BEACH
THAN THE WORLD'S
FASTEST SWIMMER.
-YOU KNOW, HE'S APPROACHING
MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE.
-AREN'T WE ALL?
-I'D LOVE FOR YOU
TO PROVE ME WRONG, MITCH.
I'VE GOT TO GET UP TO ZUMA.
I'LL SEE YOU
AT THE END OF THE DAY.
WEAR THEM.
-HEY, JILL.
-I CAN'T DO IT.
YOU WANT A BABYSITTER,
YOU HIRE ONE
FOR 2.50 AN HOUR.
-WHY DO I DETECT
SOME SORT OF PROBLEM HERE?
-OH, YOU'RE SO INTUITIVE.
WE SPOTTED A FLOUNDERING YACHT.
WHILE I AM UNDERWATER
UNTANGLING THE ANCHOR LINE,
LITTLE SHAUNI HAS GOT A DATE
WITH THE OWNER OF THE BOAT.
WHAT SWAMP DID SHE COME FROM?
-CAPTAIN THORPE
ASSIGNED HER TO ME.
-OH, FIGURES.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-SHAUNI IS A VERY GOOD SWIMMER,
BUT SHE NEEDS TO LEARN
HOW TO BECOME A LIFEGUARD.
TAKE HER UNDER YOUR WING,
GUIDE HER, SHOW HER THE WAY.
-[GRUNTS]
[PANTS]
GOOD DAY. HOW ARE YOU?
-[LAUGHS]
-MY CARD.
-"TREVOR COLE, SHARK FIGHTER
AND VIRGIN CONVERTER"?
-I LOST ONE OR TWO FIGHTS,
BUT ONLY TO THE SHARKS.
-AND YOU ALWAYS DROP IN
LIKE THIS?
-ANYBODY CAN CLIMB STAIRS.
I WOULD'VE BEEN UP THERE FASTER
IF IT HADN'T BEEN
FOR THE SUNTAN OIL
I'VE GOT ON.
-YEAH, I DON'T NEED THIS.
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
-FIGURED YOU MIGHT,
CONSIDERING IT WAS
YOUR SURF SKI RECORD I BROKE
IN LAST YEAR'S
LIFEGUARD COMPETITION.
-RECORDS ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN.
-WRONG, MATE, RECORDS ARE
MEANT TO MAKE YOU FAMOUS.
BACK HOME IN AUSTRALIA,
MY FACE IS ON CEREAL BOXES.
I CAN GIVE YOU AN AUTOGRAPHED
ONE FOR YOU IF YOU LIKE.
-DON'T EAT CEREAL.
-I DO.
-NICE PLACE YOU GOT HERE.
VERY NICE.
-YOU DON'T EAT CEREAL.
TREVOR, WHAT BRINGS YOU
TO THE STATES?
-I CAME HERE TO LIFEGUARD
IN THE BIG POND, AS THEY SAY,
BUT YOUR RULE BOOK SAYS I'VE GOT
TO ATTEND ROOKIE SCHOOL.
-WELL, WE DO THINGS
A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY
ON THIS SIDE OF THE PACIFIC.
-WATER IS WATER,
AND VICTIMS ARE VICTIMS.
BEING CRAMPED IN A TOWER ALL DAY
DOESN'T REALLY SUIT MY STYLE
ANYWAY.
SEE YOU, I'M BEST LEFT
UNTETHERED TO STRUT THE BEACH,
PUT PEOPLE AT THEIR EASE.
-"STRUT THE BEACH"?
-WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY POINT.
I STARTED LIFEGUARDING TODAY
AT THE SUN AND SEA CLUB.
NOW, I KNOW YOU'VE HAD TO WATCH
OVER THE AMATEURS
THAT HAVE WORKED THERE BEFORE,
BUT I'M ON THE JOB NOW.
SO YOU KEEP YOUR LIFEGUARDS
OUT OF MY WATER
AND OUT OF MY WAY, OKAY?
-WELL, WE KIND OF BACK UP
EACH OTHER AROUND HERE.
-WELL, I'LL BACK UP YOU GUYS
IF YOU LIKE,
BUT YOU NEEDN'T WORRY ABOUT ME.
I HANDLE EVERYTHING I SEE.
SPY YOU LATER, MATE.
[CLICKS HIS TONGUE]
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
-HI, CRAIG.
-LAURIE.
LAURIE: SO HOW'S IT GOING?
-FINE.
EXCUSE ME, I CAN'T REALLY

-SIX.
-BY THE TIME I WAS SIX,

PETE: HOW?
-WELL, LET'S JUST SAY
MY LAST NAME WAS FOSTER.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM.
-HEY, YOU DON'T PASS UP
ONE VICTIM FOR ANOTHER ONE,
NOT IN MY WATER, OR ANYWHERE.
YOU GOT THAT?
-YOU'RE JUST RAW
BECAUSE I OUTSWAM YOU, MATE.
-SAVING LIVES ISN'T PART
OF COMPETITION ON MY BEACH.
YOU STEP OUT OF LINE
ONE MORE TIME,
YOU'VE GOT ME TO ANSWER TO,
MATE.
[TENSE MUSIC]
-OH, LAURIE.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
LAURIE.
ANSWER ME, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
[BIRDS SINGING]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-HI, CHELSEA.
-HOBIE, I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO GO
TO SCHOOL FOR THAT THING TODAY.
-I LEFT EARLY.
-AM I GETTING BURNED?
-YOU BACK'S A LITTLE RED.
-COULD YOU PUT
SOME OF THAT OIL ON IT?
-UH...
YEAH, SURE.

-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHERE'S HOBIE?
-WELL, THAT'S
WHAT I CAME HERE TO ASK YOU.
WHEN I WENT BY SCHOOL
TO PICK HIM UP,
THEY SAID THAT HE'D SNUCK OUT,
AND SO NATURALLY--
-NATURALLY, YOU CAME HERE.
COME ON, HE'S PROBABLY
AT TOWER 25.
YOU KNOW, GAYLE, IT'S NOT EASY
FOR HOBIE, IT'S SUMMER.
-JUST, PLEASE, DON'T MAKE
ANY EXCUSES FOR HIM.
-I'M NOT MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM,
I'M JUST TELLING YOU.
-LOOK, MITCH,
THIS IS JUST NOT WORKING.
-WHAT'S NOT WORKING?
THE DIVORCE?
[LAUGHS]
'CAUSE OUR MARRIAGE
SUDDENLY DOESN'T WORK OUT--
-NO, IT'S JUST THIS
JOINT CUSTODY THING WITH HOBIE.
HE'S BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH
BETWEEN TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT
ENVIRONMENTS.
MITCH, I JUST, I REALLY THINK
THAT HE'D BE BETTER OFF
IF HE LIVED WITH ME FULL TIME.
-NO WAY.
-HE COULD VISIT YOU
EVERY OTHER WEEKEND.
-YOU CAN FORGET IT.
-CAN YOU JUST PUT
YOUR OWN FEELINGS ASIDE FOR ONCE
AND THINK ABOUT WHAT'S BEST
FOR YOUR SON?
I AM.
I ALWAYS DO.
YOU JUST CAN'T HANDLE IT
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE WITH ME
MORE THAN HE WANTS
TO BE WITH YOU.
-WELL, OF COURSE
HE WANTS TO BE WITH YOU.
I MEAN, WHAT KID WOULDN'T?
A BLOCK FROM THE OCEAN,
A FATHER WHO SAVES
PEOPLE'S LIVES.
HEY, YOU'RE HIS HERO,
AND I'M JUST THE OGRE WHO
MAKES HIM STAY IN HIS BEDROOM
DOING HIS HOMEWORK OVER
UNTIL IT'S NEAT.
I MEAN, WITH YOU,
LIFE'S A BEACH,
WHY SHOULD HE EVER
WANT TO LEAVE?
-YOU LEFT.
-MITCH, IT'S TOO LATE FOR US,
BUT NOT FOR HOBIE.
WHAT HE NEEDS NOW
IS CONSISTENCY.
-YOU WANT CONSISTENCY,
I'LL LET HIM VISIT YOU
EVERY OTHER WEEKEND.
-IF HOBIE LIVES WITH ME,
HE'LL HAVE A WHOLE WORLD
FULL OF CHOICES.
WITH YOU, ALL HE'S EVER
GOING TO WANT TO BE
IS A LIFE GUARD
JUST LIKE HIS DAD--
-I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE STILL
HAVING THIS DAMN ARGUMENT.
NOW, LIFEGUARDS ARE TEACHERS
AND DOCTORS.
CRAIG'S AN ATTORNEY,
FOR GOD'S SAKE.
-YES, BUT HE DOESN'T WANT
TO BE LIKE THEM.
HE WANTS TO BE LIKE YOU.
-GAYLE, I MADE A CAREER MOVE,
YOU KNOW?
I'M MAKING A LIEUTENANT'S SALARY
PLUS OVERTIME NOW.
-MONEY HAS NEVER BEEN THE ISSUE.
-LOOK. THERE'S JUST--
THERE'S NO POINT IN US ARGUING
ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.
I'VE SEEN AN ATTORNEY, MITCH.
I'M FILING FOR FULL CUSTODY,
I'M SORRY.
-YOU LOVED ME ONCE.
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?
-I'M DOING IT FOR HOBIE.
AND IF YOU REALLY LOVE HIM,
YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY.
WAIT.
LET ME TAKE HIM HOME.
[SOFT MUSIC]
-HI.
-NOW I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
TO MY OTHER KEY.
-IT'S COZY IN HERE.
IT'S LIKE YOUR OWN
LITTLE BEACH HOUSE.
-WHY DID YOU TAKE THIS, LAURIE?
-I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.
I KNOW THAT YOU SAVE PEOPLE
ALL THE TIME,
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
THAT ANYONE'S EVER SAVED ME.
IT'S NOT 50 BONUS POINTS...
BUT THERE'S A POEM IN THERE
THAT'S ALL ABOUT US.
IT SAYS, "HE BRAVELY RISKED
HIS SOUL
TO SAVE HER LIFE."
-LAURIE I APPRECIATE THIS,
THANK YOU.
DON'T SAY "BUT."
PLEASE DON'T.
PEOPLE ALWAYS START
TO SAY NICE THINGS
AND THEY TAKE IT AWAY
WITH "BUT."
-DRINKING'S NOT ALLOWED
ON THE BEACH.
I HAVE TO CLOSE MY TOWER.
-DO YOU EVER STAY HERE
AFTER IT GETS DARK?
-SOMETIMES.
LAURIE: BY YOURSELF?
-IT DEPENDS.
-SO DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?
-A WIFE.
-OH.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
-GINA.
-LET ME GUESS,
YOU SAVED HER LIFE
AND SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU.
-NO, NO, THOSE INFATUATIONS
BURN OUT REAL FAST.
I WAS CROSS EXAMINING HER
IN COURT IN NEW YORK.
SHE WAS THE ONE WITNESS
I COULDN'T TRIP UP OR PIN DOWN,
SO I MARRIED HER.
-I HATE THAT I WAS UNCONSCIOUS
WHEN YOU CARRIED ME
OUT OF THE WATER.
-WELL, THAT'S THE WAY
IT IS WHEN YOU--
LAURIE, WHY WERE YOU BALANCING
ON THE END OF THE PIER
THIS MORNING?
-I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE JUST SO I COULD MEET YOU.
KISS ME AGAIN
LIKE YOU DID THIS MORNING.
-THAT WASN'T A KISS.
-OUR LIPS TOUCHED.
-I'VE HAD TO DO THAT WITH
TWO-HUNDRED-POUND DOCK WORKERS.
-YOU JUST THINK I'M TOO YOUNG.
WELL, I'M NOT TOO YOUNG.
-LAURIE, PUT THAT BACK ON.
STAY HERE.
OWEN.
LOOK, IT'S SOME KIND
OF VICTIM FIXATION.
I'M SURE IT'S HAPPENED
TO YOU BEFORE.
-NO.
GREAT.
LOOK, I'LL WALK BACK
AFTER I DEAL WITH THIS.
-ANYTHING YOU SAY, PERRY MASON.
-RIGHT.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[SHOWER FALLING DOWN]
-[SOBS]
JILL: SHAUNI.
-JILL, I'M REALLY SORRY.
JILL: HEY, IT'S OKAY.
DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP.
NEXT TIME YOU'LL HANDLE IT.
-WHEN I WAS HOLDING
THAT LITTLE GIRL,
I JUST KEPT FEELING
HER LIFE SLIPPING.
AND I COULDN'T MOVE.
-NO ONE SAID THE JOB
WOULD BE ALL FUN IN THE SUN.
COME ON, SIT DOWN.
-[SOBS]
SHAUNI, THE FIRST TIME I HELD
A VICTIM IN MY ARMS,
IT SENT A CHILL THROUGH ME
THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH HOW COLD THE WATER WAS.
BECAUSE IT WAS
THE FIRST TIME I KNEW,
REALLY KNEW
THAT I WAS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN SOMEBODY LIVING
OR DYING.
YOU KNOW,
AS FRIGHTENED AS I WAS,
IT WAS THE GREATEST THING
I'VE EVER FELT.
-BUT WHAT IF I CAN'T HANDLE IT?
JILL: YOU WILL.
BUT UNTIL THEN,
THERE'LL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE HERE
TO BACK YOU UP, OKAY?
-[SIGHS]
-I DON'T THINK I CAN GO BACK
OUT THERE AND FACE THEM.
-HEY, LOOK, NOBODY HAS TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED.
OKAY?
COME ON, WE'LL GO TO
MITCH'S PARTY TOGETHER.
ALL RIGHT?
-OKAY.
MITCH: LISTEN IF SHE HAS
ANY KIND OF PROBLEMS,
YOU JUST GIVE US A RING,
AND WE'LL SEND SOMEBODY UP THERE
TO TALK TO HER.
-BUSY, BUSY.
-YEAH, THE GUYS
DID A GOOD JOB TODAY.
-I SEE YOU'RE
STILL ONE OF THE GUYS.
-THE UNIFORM DOESN'T HAVE
TO CHANGE THAT, DOES IT?
-YES, IT DOES, MITCH.
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
COORDINATING THE BLITZ
FROM YOUR UNIT,
CALLING THE SHOTS,
NOT MAKING THE RESCUE.
I DON'T SEE A CARD FOR AL
IN HERE.
IS THAT WHY YOU GOT WET,
COVERING FOR HIM?
-AL WAS IN THE WATER.
-BUT HE DIDN'T PULL
ANYONE OUT.
-NO, HE DIDN'T PULL ANYONE OUT,
BUT HE KEPT ONE OF MY ROOKIES
FROM BEING DRAGGED DOWN.
-MITCH, I KNOW THAT AL
IS SOMETHING LIKE A FATHER--
-AL MAKES PREVENTIONS
BEFORE OTHER LIFEGUARDS
EVEN NOTICE THERE'S A PROBLEM.
CAPTAIN: HE'S PAST HIS PRIME,
MITCH.
I'M NOT SAYING
YOU HAVE TO FIRE HIM,
BUT UNTIL MANDATORY RETIREMENT,
I WANT HIM OFF THE SAND.
-CAPTAIN, IF THIS IS
SOME KIND OF TEST
TO SEE IF I FOLLOW ORDERS--
-YOU SAID YOU UNDERSTAND
CHAIN OF COMMAND, MITCH,
SO I DON'T NEED
TO TEST YOU, DO I?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
AL?
HEY, AL?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
AL?
AL?
PICASSO, HOW YOU DOING?
-HEY, MITCH, COME ON IN.
YOU CAN HELP ME PAINT
ALL THE FISH I LEFT BLANK.
-YOU SURE YOU WANT TO RISK IT?
-NEVER MIND THAT,
JUST PAINT YOUR INSTINCTS.
-ALL RIGHT.
-I SAW YOU, GAYLE
AND HOBIE TODAY.
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
-GAYLE'S FILING
FOR FULL CUSTODY.
-WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
-I'M GOING TO GET CRAIG
TO REPRESENT ME
AND FIGHT HER IN COURT
IF I HAVE TO.
-OH, GOD.
-HEY.
IS THIS WHAT THE BAY LOOKED
LIKE WHEN YOU FIRST SAW IT?
-YEAH.
HELL, I WAS 17.
I USED TO PADDLE OUT
ON MY LONG BOARD,
TAKE A COUPLE OF DEEP BREATHS,
FREE DIVE TWO OR THREE MINUTES.
LIKE ETERNITY.
LIKE I WAS IN LIQUID HEAVEN.
AND THEN I WOULD BRING UP
SOME FRESH AIR FOR DINNER.
-[LAUGHS]
I JUST HOPE SOMEDAY
WE DON'T HAVE TO PAINT
LITTLE OIL WELLS OUT HERE
AND MAYBE THE WATER
A MURKY ORANGE, HUH?
-WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
MITCH.
BETTER START PROTECTING
THE GREAT LADY.
SHE'S GOING TO RUN OUT ON US.
WE SURE AS HELL ARE GOING
TO MISS HER WHEN SHE'S GONE.
SEE, THE GREAT LADY'S
ALWAYS BEEN MY MISTRESS.
LISTEN, HOW ABOUT LETTING ME
TAKE HOBIE FISHING TOMORROW?
I CAN TALK TO HIM.
THIS CUSTODY STUFF CAN BE
PRETTY ROUGH ON A KID, YOU KNOW.
I'LL BE BACK IN PLENTY OF TIME
TO WORK MY TOWER.
-THAT'S GREAT,
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO TALK TO GAYLE ABOUT IT.
HE'S WITH HER THIS WEEKEND.
-THAT'S GOOD,
I WANT TO TALK TO HER.
BUT WE'D BETTER GET GOING
RIGHT NOW,
'CAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO MISS YOUR PARTY.
-YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING...
I HAD THIS BRILLIANT IDEA
THIS MORNING.
WHAT DO YOU SAY
YOU COME OFF THE BEACH
AND HELP ME RUN THINGS?
THE TWO OF US TOGETHER,
WE COULD REALLY
MAKE BAYWATCH HUM.
-NO, MITCH.
YOU SEE, I NEED TO HAVE
BOTH MY FEET IN THE SAND.
THIS ISN'T A
FRIENDLY OFFER, THOUGH, IS IT?
CAPTAIN THORPE?
-YEAH, CAPTAIN THORPE.
AL, I'M SORRY, I TRIED
TO TALK HIM OUT OF IT.
-MITCH, DON'T PUT THIS LOAD
ON YOUR SHOULDERS,
BECAUSE IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
REMEMBER THAT.
THE ONLY REASON
THAT YOU GOT WET TODAY
WAS BECAUSE I WAS LATE
GETTING THERE.
[SOFT MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
-THINK EDDIE'D GET BORED
JUST SWIMMING BACK AND FORTH
LIKE THAT.
-YEAH, YOU'D THINK SHE'D GET
BORED WATCHING LIKE THAT.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[SENSUAL MUSIC]
-[SIGHS]
HI.
YOU AREN'T LEAVING, ARE YOU?
-YEAH, I'M JUST NOT MUCH
FOR PARTIES.
-OH, COME ON,
COME DANCE WITH ME.
I GUARANTEE
YOU'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME.
-IT'S ALL YOU CALIFORNIA GIRLS
THINK ABOUT, HUH?
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
-WELL, IT'S BETTER
THAN BROODING OFF BY YOURSELF.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
-WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE
TO YOU TODAY, HUH?
SAVING THAT LITTLE GIRL?
-I DON'T KNOW, YOU SAVED HER.
I JUST, UM, TRIED TO HELP.
WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE TO YOU?
-MIXED UP.
LIKE I WAS THE VICTIM
GRABBING ON TO HER TO SAVE ME.
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
-DOESN'T MATTER.
-YOU CAN TELL ME.
-WHY DOES EVERYONE AROUND HERE
THINK BECAUSE WE WORK TOGETHER
WE SHOULD BE
ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY?
I DON'T NEED
ANOTHER FAMILY, OKAY?
-OKAY.
I JUST REALLY WANTED TO KNOW.
-HI.
-HI.
-HOW ARE YOU DOING?
-FINE, THANKS.
-CAN I USE YOUR BLUSH?
-YEAH, SURE. IT MAY BE
A LITTLE DARK FOR YOU.
-THAT'S OKAY, THANKS.
I LIKE DARK.
IT'S A WILD PARTY, HUH?
-OH, YEAH, THEY ALWAYS ARE.
-DON'T YOU JUST LOVE LIFEGUARDS?
THEY'RE SO HEROIC.
ONE OF THEM SAVED MY LIFE TODAY.
-REALLY?
-IT WAS REALLY ROMANTIC.
-ROMANTIC?
-I STOOD BY HIS TOWER ALL DAY.
AND THEN AT SUNSET
HE TOOK ME INSIDE.
HE TOLD ME IF I HAD DROWNED,
HE WOULD'VE NEVER
FORGIVEN HIMSELF.
AND THEN HE KISSED ME.
WE MADE LOVE
RIGHT THERE IN HIS TOWER.
WITH THE SOUND OF THE WAVES
AND THE SEAGULLS.
IT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
-[GASPS]
[SIGHS]
-I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HIM
SINCE I GOT HERE,
BUT THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE.
THAT'S HIM.
CRAIG.
HI, HONEY, SORRY I'M LATE.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
-OH, HEY, HEY, LAURIE.
THIS IS GINA.
-OH, I KNOW, WE MET.
-YES, LAURIE'S BEEN TELLING ME
ALL ABOUT THE ROMANTIC DAY
SHE'S HAD.
-WHAT'S WRONG?
-WHAT'S WRONG IS THAT I
HAPPEN TO BE YOUR HERO'S WIFE.
-WHAT?
-THIS IS GINA.
I TOLD YOU ABOUT HER.
-YOU THINK
I WOULD HAVE COME HERE
AND EMBARRASSED MYSELF
IF I KNEW YOU HAD A WIFE?
-GINA, WHAT HAS SHE
BEEN SAYING?
-I'D LIKE TO GO NOW.
-WHAT DID SHE--
GINA: NOW, PLEASE.
-CRAIG I TOLD HER
ABOUT SUNSET IN YOUR TOWER.
HOW WE MADE LOVE.
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW.
-OH, GOD.
-GINA, SHE'S LYING.
SHE'S MAKING THIS UP.
-CRAIG, WHY ARE YOU DOING
THIS TO ME.
-DAMN IT, NOW STOP IT.
NOTHING HAPPENED BETWEEN US,
AND YOU KNOW IT.
-HE SAW US.
HE DROVE UP IN HIS TRUCK.
ASK HIM IF I'M LYING.
[TENSE MUSIC]
-GINA!
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
-GINA, THIS IS CRAZY.
I KNOW YOU DON'T BELIEVE
OWEN AND THAT GIRL.
-I JUST WANT TO SLEEP, CRAIG.
-AND WHAT HAPPENS
IN THE MORNING?
-I DON'T KNOW.
-GINA--
[PHONE RINGING]
HELLO?
LAURIE: CRAIG,
I NEED TO SEE YOU.
-OH, LAURIE,
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
LAURIE: I'LL BE AT YOUR TOWER.
IF YOU DON'T COME, YOU'LL
FIND ME THERE IN THE MORNING.
AND IT'LL BE TOO LATE
TO SAVE ME THIS TIME.
[CALL CUTS OFF]
-SHE SAYS IF I DON'T MEET HER
AT MY TOWER RIGHT NOW,
SHE'S GOING TO KILL HERSELF.
-THEN DON'T GO.
-SHE'S A TROUBLED GIRL.
SHE OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO COMMIT
SUICIDE TODAY, AND I MISREAD IT.
-THEN CALL THE POLICE.
CALL SUICIDE PREVENTION,
HAVE THEM PICK HER UP.
-AS SOON AS I KNOW
SHE'S SAFE.
-CRAIG.
-WHAT?
WHAT IS IT?
-IF YOU'RE GOING,
I'M GOING WITH YOU.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
LAURIE?
LAURIE.
-DON'T HURT ME, PLEASE.
-NO ONE'S GOING TO HURT YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU HOME,
WE'RE GOING TO SIT DOWN
WITH YOUR PARENTS.
-NO, PLEASE,
DON'T TAKE ME BACK THERE.
-HOW DID YOU GET
THESE BRUISES ON YOUR NECK?
WHAT HAPPENED?
GINA: WHO DID THAT TO YOU?
-SOMEONE AT THE PARTY?
-I LEFT AFTER YOU DID.
CRAIG: WHERE DID YOU GO?
UH...
I WENT HOME.
-IS THAT WHERE THIS
HAPPENED, AT HOME?
-LAURIE, TELL US
WHO DID THIS TO YOU
AND WE'LL HELP YOU, I PROMISE.
-NO, HE'LL HURT ME.
GINA: WHO? WHO WILL HURT YOU?
-IS IT YOUR FATHER?
-[SOBS]
[CRIES]
I DIDN'T WANT HIM
TO GET IN BED WITH ME AGAIN.
-LAURIE, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU
BACK TO OUR HOUSE TONIGHT.
-NO ONE EVER CARED
IF I LIVED OR DIED BEFORE.
I'M REALLY SORRY.
-YEAH, THAT'S IT.
I WILL.
THANKS.
HOW IS SHE?
-ASLEEP.
-I GOT HER ADDRESS
AND PHONE NUMBER
FROM THE RESCUE CARD.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
-[SIGHS]
MY HEART'S POUNDING.
MY PALMS ARE SWEATING,
MY BRAIN IS NUMB, THANK GOD.
THAT POOR KID, I UNDERSTAND
WHY SHE FANTASIZED.
I HAD THIS FRIEND
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP.
HER STEP FATHER MOLESTED HER
FROM THE TIME SHE WAS...
[SIGHS]
11, ALL THE WAY
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL.
I NEVER EVEN KNEW UNTIL SHE
SWALLOWED A BOTTLE OF PILLS.
I KEPT THINKING
IF I'D BEEN MORE SENSITIVE
OR A BETTER FRIEND,
I COULD'VE DONE SOMETHING.
-YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING
NOW FOR LAURIE.
-I WANT TO DO MORE,
I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN.
-YOU SEE, YOU'RE A LIFEGUARD TOO
AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT.
-SHOULD WE CALL HER PARENTS
OR--
-I WANT TO JUST GO THERE
IN THE MORNING UNANNOUNCED.
I'LL CALL CHILD PROTECTIVE
SERVICES AFTER THAT.
-I LOVE YOU.
-I LOVE YOU TOO.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[OMINOUS MUSIC INTENSIFIES]
[SEAGULLS SCREAMING]
-SHOULDN'T WE HAVE BROUGHT
SOME SANDWICHES OR SOMETHING?
-SANDWICHES?
FISHERMEN CATCH THEIR LUNCH.
YOU DON'T GET SEA SICK,
DO YOU, HOBIE?
-WELL, ONLY ONCE.
THAT'S WHEN I WAS LITTLE.
-OH, WELL, YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW.
I'M NOT GOING TO WORRY
ABOUT YOU.
I THINK I'LL KEEP AN EYE
ON YOU JUST THE SAME, THOUGH.
-OKAY.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
-LAURIE?
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
-PLEASE COME IN, MR. PALMER.
-THANK YOU.
-I GUESS LAURIE GOT TO BED
KIND OF LATE LAST NIGHT.
I THINK SHE'S STILL SLEEPING.
I'LL GO GET HER.
-NO, NO, I'M AFRAID
YOU MISUNDERSTAND.
I'M NOT HERE TO SEE LAURIE.
I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT HER.
-OH.
-LAURIE ISN'T UPSTAIRS
IN HER BEDROOM.
-I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
-I JUST LEFT HER.
SHE'S WITH MY WIFE AT OUR HOUSE.
-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
-MAY I SPEAK
WITH YOUR HUSBAND, PLEASE?
-I'M NOT MARRIED.
-WELL, WHERE IS LAURIE'S FATHER?
-HE PASSED AWAY TEN YEARS AGO.
-WHAT?
-LOOK, WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?
-IT'S ABOUT LAURIE, SHE HAS
BRUISES ON HER ARM AND NECK.
SHE TOLD US HER FATHER BEATS HER
BECAUSE SHE WON'T LET HIM GET
INTO BED WITH HER.
-OH, GOD, IT'S STARTED AGAIN.
-WHAT'S STARTED AGAIN?
-[SIGHS]
SOMETIMES LAURIE GETS VIOLENT.
SHE HURTS HERSELF, MR. PALMER.
THEN SHE MAKES UP STORIES.
SHE JUST CAME HOME
FROM THE HOSPITAL.
SHE'S BEEN THERE
SINCE LAST CHRISTMAS.
I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.
[TENSE MUSIC]
-[GASPS]
YOU STARTLED ME.
-YOU DON'T MIND THAT I BORROWED
YOUR BLOUSE, DO YOU?
-NO, IT LOOKS PRETTY ON YOU.
-I WROTE SOMETHING
ON CRAIG'S COMPUTER.
-OH, HE DOESN'T LIKE
ANYONE USING IT.
I DON'T EVEN GO NEAR THE THING.
-WE USE THEM IN SCHOOL.
GINA, I KNOW I'VE HURT YOU
AND CRAIG A LOT.
-LAURIE, IT'S OKAY.
-NO, I HAVE.
AND I WANT TO MAKE UP FOR IT.
I KIND OF NEED YOUR HELP
TO DO IT.
-WHAT DO YOU NEED?
-I NEED YOU TO DRIVE ME BACK
TO THE PLACE
WHERE CRAIG SAVED ME.
-WHAT FOR?
-MY THERAPIST SAYS,
IF YOU HAVE A FEELING
THAT YOU WANT TO GET RID OF,
YOU WRITE IT ON A PIECE OF PAPER
AND YOU TAKE IT TO THE OCEAN
AND YOU BURN IT.
AND LET THE ASHES
WASH OUT TO SEA
OR YOU BURY IT
IN THE SAND FOREVER.
-WELL, CRAIG SHOULD BE HOME
SOON, LAURIE.
-I WANT TO DO THIS
BEFORE HE GETS BACK.
PLEASE.
THAT WAY THIS CAN ALL BE OVER.
HELP ME, GINA.
-OKAY.
-THE HOMELESS SLEEP
UNDER HERE AT NIGHT.
-CAN'T WE JUST BURN THE LETTER
BY THE SHORE
AND LET THE ASHES
WASH OUT TO SEA?
-[LAUGHS]
I DID THAT WITH A LETTER
TO MY FATHER ONCE.
IT DIDN'T WORK.
THIS IS THE WAY IN.
-LAURIE, NO,
I'M NOT GOING IN THERE.
-YOU SAID
YOU'D HELP ME BURY IT.
-WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD SEE
YOUR THERAPIST
BEFORE WE DO THIS.
-YOU'RE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
YOU'LL HELP JUST AS LONG
AS IT'S NOT TOO INCONVENIENT.
-NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
-FORGET IT.
-LAURIE, COME ON.
LAURIE, COME BACK.
-FORGET IT.
-COME ON, DON'T DO THIS.
LAURIE.
OH, GOD, LAURIE.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
GINA?
GINA?
GINA: LAURIE?
LAURIE?
LAURIE.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE
COULD SLEEP UNDER HERE.
-I LIKE IT HERE.
GINA, WILL YOU BURY THIS FOR ME?
IT WOULD REALLY MEAN A LOT TO ME
IF YOU HELPED ME.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
GINA: "I CAN'T LIVE ANYMORE
KNOWING YOU'RE IN LOVE
WITH LAURIE."
THIS IS A SUICIDE NOTE,

-LAURIE LOOK AT ME.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU, LAURIE.
-NO, YOU'RE NOT,
YOU'RE HERE FOR HER.
-NO, I'M HERE FOR YOU,
JUST FOR YOU.
COME WITH ME, I'M HERE.
-I JUST WANT US TO BE TOGETHER.
-I'M HERE.
-IT'S OUR FATE.
IT'S LIKE THE POEM I GAVE YOU.
-IN THE BOOK YOU GAVE ME.
-YES.
-TELL IT TO ME.
LAURIE: THE POEM?
-TELL ME THE POEM.
"HE BRAVELY RISKED HIS SOUL
TO SAVE HER LIFE."
"THEN HE TOOK HER
FOR HIS WEDDED WIFE."
YOU SAVED ME, CRAIG.
ME, NOT HER.
[SCREAMS]
NO!
-LET IT GO, LAURIE.
LAURIE: NO.

OH, CRAIG.

I LOVED YOU.
PLEASE SAVE ME AGAIN.

HERE WE GO.
HERE, SON, WHY DON'T YOU
HAND ME YOUR LUNCH?
ATTABOY.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THIS
DOWN TO THE GALLEY
AND COOK IT UP FOR HIM?
-RIGHT.

-ARE YOU KIDDING? AT HIS AGE?
IF HE'S A LIFEGUARD, THEN
I'M A REIGNING BEAUTY QUEEN.
-HE IS.
AL'S A LEGEND ON THE BEACH.

[SAD MUSIC]
AL GIBSON WAS A GREAT MAN.
TODAY, IN A WAY,
THIS IS MORE A MARRIAGE
THAN A FUNERAL.
BECAUSE TODAY THIS GREAT MAN
WILL BECOME ONE WITH
AND INSEPARABLE
FROM HIS GREAT LADY.
YOU KNOW, AL TOLD ME RECENTLY
THAT BEING UNDERWATER
WAS LIKE FLOATING
IN LIQUID HEAVEN.
SO IN A WAY,
I GUESS HE WAS ALREADY IN HEAVEN
WHEN HE DIED.
BUT YOU'RE NOT DEAD, AL.
YOU'RE ALIVE IN ME
AND EVERYONE THAT YOU TOUCHED.
IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW,
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
WHOSE LIVES YOU SAVED.
THEY MAY NEVER KNOW THE
TREMENDOUS DEBT THEY OWE YOU.
BUT ALL OF US GATHERED HERE
ON YOUR BEACH
AND IN FRONT OF YOUR TOWER,
WE KNOW, AL.
AND WE'LL NEVER FORGET YOU

-OH, WHAT'S THIS, HUH?
HAVEN'T WORKED OUT IN A WHILE.
-THERE'S NOTHING THERE TO PINCH.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
-OH, YEAH, NOTHING A LITTLE
LIEUTENANT'S UNIFORM WON'T HIDE.
IF YOU CAN FIND ONE TO FIT
YOUR FIRST DAY ON THE JOB.
-HEY, LET'S GO BACK OUT.
REMATCH.
-LET'S GO.
-WAIT A SECOND.
GAYLE'S PICKING HOBIE UP

-COME ON, DAD.
-I'M SORRY PAL.
YOU KNOW THE NEW SCHEDULE.

NEXT TIME YOU AND I WILL TEAM UP

WHAT REAL ATHLETES CAN DO.
-HEY, JILL, WINNERS.

YOU GUYS ARE CHEATERS.
[SOFT MUSIC]
-HEY, MITCH,
SAY GOODBYE TO YOU SKI.
-GOODBYE TO MY SKI.
HAVE FUN GUYS.
HERE, TAKE THIS.
-CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
-SURE, GO AHEAD.
-WELL, IF YOU'RE JUST
FRIENDS WITH A GIRL,
IS IT ALL RIGHT TO RUB
SUNTAN OIL ON HER BACK?
-YEAH.
WHY DO YOU ASK?
-'CAUSE LAST SUNDAY EVERYONE
WAS HANGING OUT BY TOWER 25...
-UH-HUH.
-AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
CHELSEA CARROL LOOKS OVER AT ME,
AND HER VOICE
GETS ALL BREATHY AND SHE SAYS,
"HOBIE, WOULD YOU PLEASE
RUB SOME OIL ON MY BACK."
-OH, WHAT DID YOU DO?
-I TOLD HER
I COULDN'T GET MY HANDS GREASY
BECAUSE I HAD A SURF SKI LATER.
-WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
-I DON'T KNOW, I GUESS
I WAS TOO EMBARRASSED.
-YOU? HOBIE THE MAGNIFICENT,
EMBARRASSED?
GIVE ME A BREAK.
-WHAT SHOULD I DO
IF SHE ASKS ME AGAIN?
-LET'S SEE,
YOU'RE THIRTEEN, RIGHT?
TRY IT, SEE WHAT YOU THINK.
COME ON WE'RE OUT OF HERE.
-UH, DAD, WHAT ABOUT HER FRONT?
-WHAT ABOUT HER FRONT?
-WELL, SHOULD I RUB OIL
ON HER STOMACH
OR HER LEGS OR SOMETHING?
-I THINK THAT SHE CAN REACH
ALL THOSE PARTS BY HERSELF.
CRAIG: HONEY, DID I WAKE YOU?
GINA: HUH?
CRAIG: I JUST HEARD
THE BEACH REPORT,
THERE'S GOING TO BE
A MILLION PEOPLE TODAY
AND THE SURF
IS GOING TO BE POUNDING.
I REALLY HAVE TO WORK
A TOWER TODAY.
GINA: I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO GO
INTO YOUR OFFICE
TO PREPARE FOR TRIAL ON MONDAY.
-OH, YOU OUGHT TO SEE THE BEACH
THIS MORNING, GINA.
IT'S SPECTACULAR.
GINA: OH, CRAIG, WIFELY ADVICE.
GET IN THE LEFT LANE,
GET OFF THE FREEWAY,
BE A LAWYER TODAY.
-OH, HELL, I CAN'T GO
TO THE OFFICE TODAY, GINA.
IF ANYONE NEEDS ME,
I'M AT TOWER 26.
[SOFT MUSIC]
-WHAT STATE OR SIGNS DO
YOU LOOK FOR IN THE WATER?
-OKAY, LOW STROKES, UH,
ELBOWS DRAGGING
AND HAIR IN THE EYES.
UH, SWIMMING THE WRONG WAY
IN A RIP CURRENT
AND CLIMBING THE LADDER.
HALLE: CLIMBING THE WHAT?
-CLIMBING THE LADDER.
-OKAY, YOU KNOW,
WHEN A VICTIM'S DROWNING,
IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S
PULLING UP, CLIMBING A LADDER.
OH, HALLE, SLOW DOWN.
-DO YOU KNOW HIM?
-HIS NAME'S EDDIE SOMETHING
OR OTHER,
WE WENT TO
ROOKIE SCHOOL TOGETHER.
[CAR HORN HONKING]
PULL UP NEXT TO HIM.
HI.
REMEMBER ME? I'M SHAUNI
FROM ROOKIE SCHOOL.
-I KNOW.
-SO WHICH HEADQUARTERS
DID YOU GET?
-BAYWATCH.
-YOU DID? SO DID I.
I WAS SO SCARED
THAT THEY WERE GOING TO PUT ME
NEXT TO THE AIRPORT WITH THOSE
NOISY JETS GOING OVER ALL DAY.
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU CAME IN
NUMBER ONE
SO YOU GOT TO PICK BAYWATCH,
BUT I CAME IN 46TH.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT IT.
SO WOULDN'T IT BE BITCHING
IF WE GOT TO WORK TOWERS
NEXT TO EACH OTHER TODAY?
-THEY, UH, THEY PUT THE ROOKIES
NEXT TO THE VETERANS.
I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
-WHAT'S HIS STORY?
-HE'S NOT FROM AROUND HERE.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-HEY, IT'S PERRY MASON.
-HEY.
-AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING
HERE TODAY?
-I GO TOO LONG WITHOUT
SAND BETWEEN MY TOES,
MY LIFE GETS SANE
AND MAKES ME CRAZY.
[MEN LAUGHING]
MIKE, NO SPITTING.
SECOND OFFENSE, MISDEMEANOR.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-BUT I DON'T GET WHY
I CAN'T KEEP LIVING WITH YOU
FOR A WEEK AND MOM FOR A WEEK
THE WAY IT'S BEEN.
-YOUR MOM THINKS LIVING WITH ME
CLOSE TO THE BEACH
IS TOO DISTRACTING
WHILE YOU'RE IN SUMMER SCHOOL.
-WELL, SHE'S WRONG.
-HOBIE, YOU BLEW
YOUR REPORT CARD, PAL.
-I KNOW, I'M SORRY.
-GRAB MY BOARD, WILL YOU?
-YEAH.
-YOU USED TO SKIP SCHOOL
TO GO SURFING.
IT DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IN YOUR LIFE.
-YEAH, IT DID.
-I JUST MISS YOU SO MUCH
WHEN I'M AT MOM'S.
-YEAH, WELL, I'M GOING
TO MISS YOU TOO, PAL.
LOOK, IT'S ONLY
FOR SUMMER SCHOOL.
IT'S SIX WEEKS, OKAY?
THEN WE'LL GO BACK
TO THE REGULAR SCHEDULE.
-I'M GOING TO MISS
JUNIOR LIFEGUARDS.
ALL MY FRIENDS WILL BE
AHEAD OF ME.
-I TELL YOU WHAT,
YOU DO WELL THE FIRST FEW WEEKS
IN SUMMER SCHOOL,
AND I'LL TALK TO YOUR MOM
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN WORK OUT.
-THE FIRST WEEK?
-NO, TWO, AT LEAST TWO.
[CAR HORN HONKING]
MITCH: SHE'S HERE.
-[SIGHS]
THAT ORIENTATION TODAY
IS GOING TO BE SO BORING.
-YEAH, WELL, IT'S A FRESH START
FOR BOTH OF US, HUH?
-GOOD LUCK TODAY, LIEUTENANT.
-THANKS, PAL.
AND DON'T WORRY, THE BEACH
ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE.
COME HERE.
YOU BE GOOD, HUH?
-I LOVE YOU, DAD.
-I LOVE YOU.
[MELLOW MUSIC]
[BIRDS SINGING]
-HEY, AL, WE'RE GOING TO BE
PULLING THEM OUT
LIKE TUNA TODAY.
CRAIG, MY BOY.
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU DOWN HERE
SINCE FOREVER.
-YEAH, IT'S BEEN A MONTH,
IT FEELS LIKE FOREVER.
HOP IN, I'LL GIVE YOU A LIFT
BACK TO HEADQUARTERS.
-CAN'T DO IT, GOT TO KEEP
THE BLOOD PUMPING.
-OH, AL, I GOT THAT BRIEF DONE.
I FOUND A LOOPHOLE
ON THE MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE
TO RETIRE
FOR ANOTHER 40 YEARS.
-[LAUGHS]
-GREAT, I APPRECIATE THAT,
CRAIG.
SEE YOU BACK AT THE HIVE.
-OKAY.
-MORNING, AL.
[MEN CHATTERING]
-OH.
I FEEL LIKE I'M STICKING MY HEAD
THROUGH ONE OF THOSE CUT-OUT
PHOTO THINGS ON THE PIER.
-YEAH, BUT YOU LOOK AWESOME.
I REALLY LIKE THE CRAB STOMPERS.
-I HATE HARD SHOES.
I CAN'T EVEN STAND SOCKS.
AL, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
[STATIC OVER RADIO]
-TEN-ONE, YOU'RE BREAKING UP
ON ME, CRAIG, SAY AGAIN.
[STATIC OVER RADIO]
-TEN-ONE, I STILL
CAN'T READ YOU, 208.
WHERE ARE YOU, CRAIG?
-TEN-THREE, UNDER THE PIER.
DICK: YOU MIGHT WANT
TO ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOW
SO THE GLASS DOESN'T SHATTER.
-THANKS, DICK.
[GASPS]
-[LAUGHS]
ALL RIGHT, ROGER, 208.
STAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE.
TOW IS ON THE WAY.

[TENSE MUSIC]
-[MOANS]
-[COUGHS]
-IT'S ALL RIGHT, DON'T MOVE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE FINE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE JUST FINE.
[SENSUAL MUSIC]
-OKAY, PUT THIS ON.
IT'LL WARM YOU UP.
-IS THIS HIS?
WOMAN: WHO'S?
-THE LIFEGUARD WHO SAVED ME?
-AS A MATTER OF FACT,
YES, IT IS CRAIG'S.
THERE WE GO, COME ON, UP HERE.
LIE DOWN AND REST.
-[SIGHS]
-SO DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED NOW?
-OH, CAREFUL.
-WILL YOU SHUT UP
AND LET ME DO THIS?
SHE WAS SHAKEN UP PRETTY BAD,
BUT SHE GOT
NO SERIOUS INJURIES.
-WELL, LEAVE IT
TO THE MACHO LAWYER
TO GET STUCK UNDERNEATH THE PIER
AND PULL A RESCUE OUT OF IT.
-MITCH BUCHANNON IN A UNIFORM.
-[LAUGHS]
LOVE THOSE SHOES MITCH.
[LAUGHS]
LET ME GO SEE HOW SHE'S DOING.
-LET'S TAKE A LOOK HERE, HUH?
OH, ROUGH NIGHT, HUH?
-[MOANS]
-YEAH, IF YOU'D GOT WASTED
ON THAT PIER PILING,
BOTH OF YOU COULD HAVE DROWNED.
-OH, MY GOD,
HE TALKS LIKE A LIEUTENANT,
HE LOOKS LIKE A LIEUTENANT,
HE--
-ENOUGH, ENOUGH.
WHERE YOU'VE BEEN ANYWAY?
-WASHINGTON FCC CASE,
I WON IT, THEY'RE APPEALING.
YOU KNOW, IF I'D ONLY BEEN HERE,
I COULD HAVE TALKED YOU OUT
OF MAKING THE MOVE INSIDE.
-HEY, IF I COULDN'T TALK
MYSELF OUT OF IT,
EVEN YOU COULDN'T TALK ME
OUT OF IT.
-WHAT HAPPENED?
-IT WAS TIME.
-BY WHO'S CLOCK?
-MINE.
-SET BACK THE HANDS.
-GO HOME, WILL YOU?
IT'S MY FIRST DAY.
I DON'T NEED YOU RAGGING ME.
-GO HOME? ARE YOU KIDDING?
THIS IS A STORK.
-YOU'D BETTER SHOW ME
SOME RESPECT
IN FRONT OF THOSE ROOKIES, MAN,
I'LL KICK--
-DON'T WORRY.
I GIVE A SHORT
MITCH BUCHANNON BRIEFING
ABOUT HOW YOU GOT STEWED
SWIMMING AFTER THAT PARTY BOAT
WAITING FOR GIRLS
TO FALL OVERBOARD.
MITCH, YOU WERE LEGENDARY.
-AND I'LL TELL THEM WHO
WAS SWIMMING RIGHT NEXT TO ME.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
-HI.
SO HOW DO YOU FEEL
AFTER BODY SURFING THE PIER?
KIND OF EXHILARATING, HUH?
MY NAME'S CRAIG, WHAT'S YOURS?
-LAURIE.
I'M REALLY SORRY
YOU HURT YOUR BACK, CRAIG.
-OH, IT'S JUST SOME SCRATCHES.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
ARE YOU FEELING OKAY?
YOU'RE PRETTY LUCKY,
WE HAD A COUPLE OF PIER JUMPERS
THE LAST FEW YEARS
WHO DIDN'T MAKE IT.
-I DIDN'T JUMP.
-OH.
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FALL OFF
THE END OF THE PIER.
-I WAS JUST BALANCING
ON THE RAIL.
I SLIPPED. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
-TAKING A PRETTY BIG CHANCE,
DON'T YOU THINK?
-DON'T PRETEND
YOU CARE ABOUT ME.
YOU WERE JUST DOING YOUR JOB.
YOU PROBABLY GET BONUS POINTS
FOR SAVING PEOPLE.
-50.
500 BIG ONES
AND I GET A NEW TOASTER.
LAURIE, I'VE GOT TO FILL OUT
A RESCUE REPORT.
YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT TO GET
SOME INFORMATION,
LIKE YOUR FULL NAME, WHERE YOU
LIVE, YOUR PHONE NUMBER.
-YOU DON'T--
-WHAT?
-YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL
MY PARENTS, DO YOU?
-HOW OLD ARE YOU?
-I'M OVER EIGHTEEN.
-LEGALLY, YOU'RE AN ADULT.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
-LAURIE ELIZABETH HARRIS.
I'M SORRY I SNAPPED AT YOU.
-I'M JUST GLAD
YOU'RE FEELING BETTER.
AND YOU LIVE...?
-3379, ENTRADA.
I GUESS I'M REALLY LUCKY
YOU SAW ME FALL.
[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]
I BELIEVE IN FATE, DO YOU?
FATE?
NO.
-YOU SHOULD.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-CAN WE HAVE A LITTLE--
A LITTLE RESPECT
FOR THE NEW LIEUTENANT, PLEASE.
THIS BEACH IS GOING TO BE
MUCH BETTER THAN IT EVER WAS.
MORE COMPETITIVE, SAFER
AND WITH A LOT MORE
AND BETTER PARTIES, AM I RIGHT?
-YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
[CHEERING]
-ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
A GALA TONIGHT
HONORING OUR NEW HONCHO
IS A FISH-TIE-ONLY AFFAIR.
WE'RE COLLECTING MONEY
FOR HEAL THE BAY.
WE'VE GOT A GREAT PLACE DONATED,
SO DIG DEEP IN THOSE POCKETS,
RIGHT?
-THAT'S RIGHT.
AND WE NEED WOMEN,
GOOD LOOK WOMEN,
NONE OF THOSE UGLY WOMEN
YOU HANG OUT WITH, OKAY, JAMES?
SO I WANT YOU GUYS TO THINK
HIPS, LIPS AND FINGERTIPS.
TWO QUICK THINGS. MIKE NEWMAN?
-YEAH.
-DON'T WEAR THAT SILLY TOUPEE
TO THE PARTY.
NUMBER TWO, LET'S HAVE
A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE
FOR OUR NEW LIEUTENANT.
[CHEERING]
UH...
[LAUGHING]
I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU
HOW TO DO YOUR JOBS.
SOME OF YOU'VE BEEN LIFEGUARDS
AS LONG AS I HAVE.
SOME OF YOU EVEN LONGER.
SO JUST DO ME A FAVOR, HUH?
MAKE ME LOOK GOOD.
MAN: OH, WE LOVE YOU.
-THAT'S IT.
OH, YEAH, SURF'S 3:00 TO 5:00,
VERY SHORT INTERVALS.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF WATER
ON THE BEACH,
RIP TIDES WILL BE PULLING,
I WANT PREVENTIONS
OUT THERE, OKAY?
LISTEN, IF YOU GUYS GOT
ANY BACK-UPS,
CALL INTO SID OVER HERE, HUH?
HEY, EDDIE, CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A SECOND?
SHAUNI.
JILL.
YOU'RE ON TOWER 27 TODAY.
-NO, WAIT.
-EXCUSE ME,
I'LL GET RIGHT TO YOU.
-BUT I WANT 27.
I HANG OUT THERE.
I KNOW THE BEACH AND I KNOW
ALL THE INSHORE HOLES.
MY FRIENDS ARE EXPECTING ME.
-YOU'RE NOT HANGING OUT TODAY,
YOU'RE WORKING.
TOWER 27 IS RIGHT NEXT
TO THE SAND AND SEA CLUB.
THEY'VE GOT
THEIR OWN LIFEGUARD,
BUT WE KIND OF WATCH
HIS WATER.
-THEN HE DOESN'T EXIST.
-FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES.
ALSO REMEMBER, KEEP AN EYE
ON THE RESCUE CAN
ON THE TOWER NEXT TO YOU.
IF IT'S MISSING,
YOU'D BETTER FIND OUT
WHERE THE LIFEGUARD IS.
-YOU GOT IT.
-YOU ARE ON THE RESCUE BOAT
WITH JILL HERE.
-ON A BOAT?
-OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH,
LIEUTENANT.
-I DO NOT WANT TO BE
STUCK OUT ON A BOAT ALL DAY.
-AND YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO CHANGE THE SUIT.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
THEY SAID GIRLS GET TO BUY
THEIR OWN SUITS.
-YEAH, BUT THERE'S
NO LIFEGUARD PATCH ON IT.
YOU GOT AN EXTRA ONE, DON'T YOU?
-I CAN SEW THE PATCH
ON THIS ONE.
-WHERE?
-I'M SURE THERE'S SOME
SWIM SUITS IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
-SHAUNI, COME HERE FOR A SECOND.
WHEN YOU'RE READY
TO BE PUT IN A TOWER,
I'LL PUT YOU IN ONE,
DON'T WORRY.
-SORRY I TOOK SO LONG.
OUR DRYER HAS ONE SETTING,
TUMBLE SLOW.
-THANK YOU.
CAN I KEEP YOUR SWEATSHIRT?
-IF YOU PROMISE NOT
TO TIGHTROPE-WALK THE PIER.
-[LAUGHS]
CROSS MY HEART.
-DEAL.
YOUR BICYCLE'S RIGHT OUTSIDE.
CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES,
AND SOMEONE WILL WALK YOU OUT.
-WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
-GOT TO OPEN UP MY TOWER.
BE CAREFUL,
NO MORE STUPID STUNTS.
-DEAL.

-CAPTAIN THORPE?
-YOU WERE A GOOD LIFEGUARD,
MITCH.
I'D HAVE TAKEN YOU
ON MY BEACH ANY DAY.
BUT I'M STILL NOT CONFIDENT
THEY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE,
PROMOTING YOU TO LIEUTENANT.
-WELL, I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO
WAIT
FOR MY PERFORMANCE
EVALUATION AND SEE.
-CHAIN OF COMMAND, MITCH,
YOU'RE PART OF IT NOW.
YOU'VE GOT TO SET AN EXAMPLE
FOR YOUR ROOKIES.
-OH, WAIT,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE ME
THE WEAK LINK SPEECH, ARE YOU?
-[LAUGHS]
ARE YOU HAPPY
WITH SHAUNI MCCLAIN?
-SHAUNI?
THANK YOU, TERRIFIC.
-HOW ABOUT YOUR VETERANS?
I'M THINKING OF AL
IN PARTICULAR.
YOU THINK HE CAN STILL
HANDLE THE SAND?
-I'D RATHER HAVE AL'S EXPERIENCE
ON MY BEACH
THAN THE WORLD'S
FASTEST SWIMMER.
-YOU KNOW, HE'S APPROACHING
MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE.
-AREN'T WE ALL?
-I'D LOVE FOR YOU
TO PROVE ME WRONG, MITCH.
I'VE GOT TO GET UP TO ZUMA.
I'LL SEE YOU
AT THE END OF THE DAY.
WEAR THEM.
-HEY, JILL.
-I CAN'T DO IT.
YOU WANT A BABYSITTER,
YOU HIRE ONE
FOR 2.50 AN HOUR.
-WHY DO I DETECT
SOME SORT OF PROBLEM HERE?
-OH, YOU'RE SO INTUITIVE.
WE SPOTTED A FLOUNDERING YACHT.
WHILE I AM UNDERWATER
UNTANGLING THE ANCHOR LINE,
LITTLE SHAUNI HAS GOT A DATE
WITH THE OWNER OF THE BOAT.
WHAT SWAMP DID SHE COME FROM?
-CAPTAIN THORPE
ASSIGNED HER TO ME.
-OH, FIGURES.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-SHAUNI IS A VERY GOOD SWIMMER,
BUT SHE NEEDS TO LEARN
HOW TO BECOME A LIFEGUARD.
TAKE HER UNDER YOUR WING,
GUIDE HER, SHOW HER THE WAY.
-[GRUNTS]
[PANTS]
GOOD DAY. HOW ARE YOU?
-[LAUGHS]
-MY CARD.
-"TREVOR COLE, SHARK FIGHTER
AND VIRGIN CONVERTER"?
-I LOST ONE OR TWO FIGHTS,
BUT ONLY TO THE SHARKS.
-AND YOU ALWAYS DROP IN
LIKE THIS?
-ANYBODY CAN CLIMB STAIRS.
I WOULD'VE BEEN UP THERE FASTER
IF IT HADN'T BEEN
FOR THE SUNTAN OIL
I'VE GOT ON.
-YEAH, I DON'T NEED THIS.
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
-FIGURED YOU MIGHT,
CONSIDERING IT WAS
YOUR SURF SKI RECORD I BROKE
IN LAST YEAR'S
LIFEGUARD COMPETITION.
-RECORDS ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN.
-WRONG, MATE, RECORDS ARE
MEANT TO MAKE YOU FAMOUS.
BACK HOME IN AUSTRALIA,
MY FACE IS ON CEREAL BOXES.
I CAN GIVE YOU AN AUTOGRAPHED
ONE FOR YOU IF YOU LIKE.
-DON'T EAT CEREAL.
-I DO.
-NICE PLACE YOU GOT HERE.
VERY NICE.
-YOU DON'T EAT CEREAL.
TREVOR, WHAT BRINGS YOU
TO THE STATES?
-I CAME HERE TO LIFEGUARD
IN THE BIG POND, AS THEY SAY,
BUT YOUR RULE BOOK SAYS I'VE GOT
TO ATTEND ROOKIE SCHOOL.
-WELL, WE DO THINGS
A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY
ON THIS SIDE OF THE PACIFIC.
-WATER IS WATER,
AND VICTIMS ARE VICTIMS.
BEING CRAMPED IN A TOWER ALL DAY
DOESN'T REALLY SUIT MY STYLE
ANYWAY.
SEE YOU, I'M BEST LEFT
UNTETHERED TO STRUT THE BEACH,
PUT PEOPLE AT THEIR EASE.
-"STRUT THE BEACH"?
-WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY POINT.
I STARTED LIFEGUARDING TODAY
AT THE SUN AND SEA CLUB.
NOW, I KNOW YOU'VE HAD TO WATCH
OVER THE AMATEURS
THAT HAVE WORKED THERE BEFORE,
BUT I'M ON THE JOB NOW.
SO YOU KEEP YOUR LIFEGUARDS
OUT OF MY WATER
AND OUT OF MY WAY, OKAY?
-WELL, WE KIND OF BACK UP
EACH OTHER AROUND HERE.
-WELL, I'LL BACK UP YOU GUYS
IF YOU LIKE,
BUT YOU NEEDN'T WORRY ABOUT ME.
I HANDLE EVERYTHING I SEE.
SPY YOU LATER, MATE.

YOU GOT THAT?
-YOU'RE JUST RAW
BECAUSE I OUTSWAM YOU, MATE.

I HATE TAN LINES.
-OKAY.
[GRUNTS]
-OW!
-SORRY, IT'S JUST STUCK
A LITTLE BIT.
OH, THERE.
-HURRY, IT'S DRIPPING.
-JUST A SECOND.
-I'LL GET IT, CHELSEA.
-OH, IT'S FINE.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
-LOCKED YOURSELF OUT?
-[GRUNTS]
UH, NO, I WAS JUST--
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
-YEAH.
-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WHERE'S HOBIE?
-WELL, THAT'S
WHAT I CAME HERE TO ASK YOU.
WHEN I WENT BY SCHOOL
TO PICK HIM UP,
THEY SAID THAT HE'D SNUCK OUT,
AND SO NATURALLY--
-NATURALLY, YOU CAME HERE.
COME ON, HE'S PROBABLY
AT TOWER 25.
YOU KNOW, GAYLE, IT'S NOT EASY
FOR HOBIE, IT'S SUMMER.
-JUST, PLEASE, DON'T MAKE
ANY EXCUSES FOR HIM.
-I'M NOT MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM,
I'M JUST TELLING YOU.
-LOOK, MITCH,
THIS IS JUST NOT WORKING.
-WHAT'S NOT WORKING?
THE DIVORCE?
[LAUGHS]
'CAUSE OUR MARRIAGE
SUDDENLY DOESN'T WORK OUT--
-NO, IT'S JUST THIS
JOINT CUSTODY THING WITH HOBIE.
HE'S BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH
BETWEEN TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT
ENVIRONMENTS.
MITCH, I JUST, I REALLY THINK
THAT HE'D BE BETTER OFF
IF HE LIVED WITH ME FULL TIME.
-NO WAY.
-HE COULD VISIT YOU
EVERY OTHER WEEKEND.
-YOU CAN FORGET IT.
-CAN YOU JUST PUT
YOUR OWN FEELINGS ASIDE FOR ONCE
AND THINK ABOUT WHAT'S BEST
FOR YOUR SON?
I AM.
I ALWAYS DO.
YOU JUST CAN'T HANDLE IT
BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE WITH ME
MORE THAN HE WANTS
TO BE WITH YOU.
-WELL, OF COURSE
HE WANTS TO BE WITH YOU.
I MEAN, WHAT KID WOULDN'T?
A BLOCK FROM THE OCEAN,
A FATHER WHO SAVES
PEOPLE'S LIVES.
HEY, YOU'RE HIS HERO,
AND I'M JUST THE OGRE WHO
MAKES HIM STAY IN HIS BEDROOM
DOING HIS HOMEWORK OVER
UNTIL IT'S NEAT.
I MEAN, WITH YOU,
LIFE'S A BEACH,
WHY SHOULD HE EVER
WANT TO LEAVE?
-YOU LEFT.
-MITCH, IT'S TOO LATE FOR US,
BUT NOT FOR HOBIE.
WHAT HE NEEDS NOW
IS CONSISTENCY.
-YOU WANT CONSISTENCY,
I'LL LET HIM VISIT YOU
EVERY OTHER WEEKEND.
-IF HOBIE LIVES WITH ME,
HE'LL HAVE A WHOLE WORLD
FULL OF CHOICES.
WITH YOU, ALL HE'S EVER
GOING TO WANT TO BE
IS A LIFE GUARD
JUST LIKE HIS DAD--
-I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE STILL
HAVING THIS DAMN ARGUMENT.
NOW, LIFEGUARDS ARE TEACHERS
AND DOCTORS.
CRAIG'S AN ATTORNEY,
FOR GOD'S SAKE.
-YES, BUT HE DOESN'T WANT
TO BE LIKE THEM.
HE WANTS TO BE LIKE YOU.
-GAYLE, I MADE A CAREER MOVE,
YOU KNOW?
I'M MAKING A LIEUTENANT'S SALARY
PLUS OVERTIME NOW.
-MONEY HAS NEVER BEEN THE ISSUE.
-LOOK. THERE'S JUST--
THERE'S NO POINT IN US ARGUING
ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.
I'VE SEEN AN ATTORNEY, MITCH.
I'M FILING FOR FULL CUSTODY,
I'M SORRY.
-YOU LOVED ME ONCE.
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?
-I'M DOING IT FOR HOBIE.
AND IF YOU REALLY LOVE HIM,
YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY.
WAIT.
LET ME TAKE HIM HOME.
[SOFT MUSIC]
-HI.
-NOW I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
TO MY OTHER KEY.
-IT'S COZY IN HERE.
IT'S LIKE YOUR OWN
LITTLE BEACH HOUSE.
-WHY DID YOU TAKE THIS, LAURIE?
-I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.
I KNOW THAT YOU SAVE PEOPLE
ALL THE TIME,
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME
THAT ANYONE'S EVER SAVED ME.
IT'S NOT 50 BONUS POINTS...
BUT THERE'S A POEM IN THERE
THAT'S ALL ABOUT US.
IT SAYS, "HE BRAVELY RISKED
HIS SOUL
TO SAVE HER LIFE."
-LAURIE I APPRECIATE THIS,
THANK YOU.
DON'T SAY "BUT."
PLEASE DON'T.
PEOPLE ALWAYS START
TO SAY NICE THINGS
AND THEY TAKE IT AWAY
WITH "BUT."
-DRINKING'S NOT ALLOWED
ON THE BEACH.
I HAVE TO CLOSE MY TOWER.
-DO YOU EVER STAY HERE
AFTER IT GETS DARK?
-SOMETIMES.
LAURIE: BY YOURSELF?
-IT DEPENDS.
-SO DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?
-A WIFE.
-OH.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
-GINA.
-LET ME GUESS,
YOU SAVED HER LIFE
AND SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU.
-NO, NO, THOSE INFATUATIONS
BURN OUT REAL FAST.
I WAS CROSS EXAMINING HER
IN COURT IN NEW YORK.
SHE WAS THE ONE WITNESS
I COULDN'T TRIP UP OR PIN DOWN,
SO I MARRIED HER.
-I HATE THAT I WAS UNCONSCIOUS
WHEN YOU CARRIED ME
OUT OF THE WATER.
-WELL, THAT'S THE WAY
IT IS WHEN YOU--
LAURIE, WHY WERE YOU BALANCING
ON THE END OF THE PIER
THIS MORNING?
-I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE JUST SO I COULD MEET YOU.
KISS ME AGAIN
LIKE YOU DID THIS MORNING.
-THAT WASN'T A KISS.
-OUR LIPS TOUCHED.
-I'VE HAD TO DO THAT WITH
TWO-HUNDRED-POUND DOCK WORKERS.
-YOU JUST THINK I'M TOO YOUNG.
WELL, I'M NOT TOO YOUNG.
-LAURIE, PUT THAT BACK ON.
STAY HERE.
OWEN.
LOOK, IT'S SOME KIND
OF VICTIM FIXATION.
I'M SURE IT'S HAPPENED
TO YOU BEFORE.
-NO.
GREAT.
LOOK, I'LL WALK BACK
AFTER I DEAL WITH THIS.
-ANYTHING YOU SAY, PERRY MASON.
-RIGHT.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[SHOWER FALLING DOWN]
-[SOBS]
JILL: SHAUNI.
-JILL, I'M REALLY SORRY.
JILL: HEY, IT'S OKAY.
DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP.
NEXT TIME YOU'LL HANDLE IT.
-WHEN I WAS HOLDING
THAT LITTLE GIRL,
I JUST KEPT FEELING
HER LIFE SLIPPING.
AND I COULDN'T MOVE.
-NO ONE SAID THE JOB
WOULD BE ALL FUN IN THE SUN.
COME ON, SIT DOWN.
-[SOBS]
SHAUNI, THE FIRST TIME I HELD
A VICTIM IN MY ARMS,
IT SENT A CHILL THROUGH ME
THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH HOW COLD THE WATER WAS.
BECAUSE IT WAS
THE FIRST TIME I KNEW,
REALLY KNEW
THAT I WAS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN SOMEBODY LIVING
OR DYING.
YOU KNOW,
AS FRIGHTENED AS I WAS,
IT WAS THE GREATEST THING
I'VE EVER FELT.
-BUT WHAT IF I CAN'T HANDLE IT?
JILL: YOU WILL.
BUT UNTIL THEN,
THERE'LL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE HERE
TO BACK YOU UP, OKAY?
-[SIGHS]
-I DON'T THINK I CAN GO BACK
OUT THERE AND FACE THEM.
-HEY, LOOK, NOBODY HAS TO KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED.
OKAY?
COME ON, WE'LL GO TO
MITCH'S PARTY TOGETHER.
ALL RIGHT?
-OKAY.
MITCH: LISTEN IF SHE HAS
ANY KIND OF PROBLEMS,
YOU JUST GIVE US A RING,
AND WE'LL SEND SOMEBODY UP THERE
TO TALK TO HER.
-BUSY, BUSY.
-YEAH, THE GUYS
DID A GOOD JOB TODAY.
-I SEE YOU'RE
STILL ONE OF THE GUYS.
-THE UNIFORM DOESN'T HAVE
TO CHANGE THAT, DOES IT?
-YES, IT DOES, MITCH.
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
COORDINATING THE BLITZ
FROM YOUR UNIT,
CALLING THE SHOTS,
NOT MAKING THE RESCUE.
I DON'T SEE A CARD FOR AL
IN HERE.
IS THAT WHY YOU GOT WET,
COVERING FOR HIM?
-AL WAS IN THE WATER.
-BUT HE DIDN'T PULL
ANYONE OUT.
-NO, HE DIDN'T PULL ANYONE OUT,
BUT HE KEPT ONE OF MY ROOKIES
FROM BEING DRAGGED DOWN.
-MITCH, I KNOW THAT AL
IS SOMETHING LIKE A FATHER--
-AL MAKES PREVENTIONS
BEFORE OTHER LIFEGUARDS
EVEN NOTICE THERE'S A PROBLEM.
CAPTAIN: HE'S PAST HIS PRIME,
MITCH.
I'M NOT SAYING
YOU HAVE TO FIRE HIM,
BUT UNTIL MANDATORY RETIREMENT,
I WANT HIM OFF THE SAND.
-CAPTAIN, IF THIS IS
SOME KIND OF TEST
TO SEE IF I FOLLOW ORDERS--
-YOU SAID YOU UNDERSTAND
CHAIN OF COMMAND, MITCH,
SO I DON'T NEED
TO TEST YOU, DO I?
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
AL?
HEY, AL?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
AL?
AL?
PICASSO, HOW YOU DOING?
-HEY, MITCH, COME ON IN.
YOU CAN HELP ME PAINT
ALL THE FISH I LEFT BLANK.
-YOU SURE YOU WANT TO RISK IT?
-NEVER MIND THAT,
JUST PAINT YOUR INSTINCTS.
-ALL RIGHT.
-I SAW YOU, GAYLE
AND HOBIE TODAY.
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
-GAYLE'S FILING
FOR FULL CUSTODY.
-WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
-I'M GOING TO GET CRAIG
TO REPRESENT ME
AND FIGHT HER IN COURT
IF I HAVE TO.
-OH, GOD.
-HEY.
IS THIS WHAT THE BAY LOOKED
LIKE WHEN YOU FIRST SAW IT?
-YEAH.
HELL, I WAS 17.
I USED TO PADDLE OUT
ON MY LONG BOARD,
TAKE A COUPLE OF DEEP BREATHS,
FREE DIVE TWO OR THREE MINUTES.
LIKE ETERNITY.
LIKE I WAS IN LIQUID HEAVEN.
AND THEN I WOULD BRING UP
SOME FRESH AIR FOR DINNER.
-[LAUGHS]
I JUST HOPE SOMEDAY
WE DON'T HAVE TO PAINT
LITTLE OIL WELLS OUT HERE
AND MAYBE THE WATER
A MURKY ORANGE, HUH?
-WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
MITCH.
BETTER START PROTECTING
THE GREAT LADY.
SHE'S GOING TO RUN OUT ON US.
WE SURE AS HELL ARE GOING
TO MISS HER WHEN SHE'S GONE.
SEE, THE GREAT LADY'S
ALWAYS BEEN MY MISTRESS.
LISTEN, HOW ABOUT LETTING ME
TAKE HOBIE FISHING TOMORROW?
I CAN TALK TO HIM.
THIS CUSTODY STUFF CAN BE
PRETTY ROUGH ON A KID, YOU KNOW.
I'LL BE BACK IN PLENTY OF TIME
TO WORK MY TOWER.
-THAT'S GREAT,
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO TALK TO GAYLE ABOUT IT.
HE'S WITH HER THIS WEEKEND.
-THAT'S GOOD,
I WANT TO TALK TO HER.
BUT WE'D BETTER GET GOING
RIGHT NOW,
'CAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO MISS YOUR PARTY.
-YOU KNOW, I WAS THINKING...
I HAD THIS BRILLIANT IDEA
THIS MORNING.
WHAT DO YOU SAY
YOU COME OFF THE BEACH
AND HELP ME RUN THINGS?
THE TWO OF US TOGETHER,
WE COULD REALLY
MAKE BAYWATCH HUM.
-NO, MITCH.
YOU SEE, I NEED TO HAVE
BOTH MY FEET IN THE SAND.
THIS ISN'T A
FRIENDLY OFFER, THOUGH, IS IT?
CAPTAIN THORPE?
-YEAH, CAPTAIN THORPE.
AL, I'M SORRY, I TRIED
TO TALK HIM OUT OF IT.
-MITCH, DON'T PUT THIS LOAD
ON YOUR SHOULDERS,
BECAUSE IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
REMEMBER THAT.
THE ONLY REASON
THAT YOU GOT WET TODAY
WAS BECAUSE I WAS LATE
GETTING THERE.
[SOFT MUSIC]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
-THINK EDDIE'D GET BORED
JUST SWIMMING BACK AND FORTH
LIKE THAT.
-YEAH, YOU'D THINK SHE'D GET
BORED WATCHING LIKE THAT.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
[SENSUAL MUSIC]
-[SIGHS]
HI.
YOU AREN'T LEAVING, ARE YOU?
-YEAH, I'M JUST NOT MUCH
FOR PARTIES.
-OH, COME ON,
COME DANCE WITH ME.
I GUARANTEE
YOU'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME.
-IT'S ALL YOU CALIFORNIA GIRLS
THINK ABOUT, HUH?
HAVING A GOOD TIME.
-WELL, IT'S BETTER
THAN BROODING OFF BY YOURSELF.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
-WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE
TO YOU TODAY, HUH?
SAVING THAT LITTLE GIRL?
-I DON'T KNOW, YOU SAVED HER.
I JUST, UM, TRIED TO HELP.
WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE TO YOU?
-MIXED UP.
LIKE I WAS THE VICTIM
GRABBING ON TO HER TO SAVE ME.
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
-DOESN'T MATTER.
-YOU CAN TELL ME.
-WHY DOES EVERYONE AROUND HERE
THINK BECAUSE WE WORK TOGETHER
WE SHOULD BE
ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY?
I DON'T NEED
ANOTHER FAMILY, OKAY?
-OKAY.
I JUST REALLY WANTED TO KNOW.
-HI.
-HI.
-HOW ARE YOU DOING?
-FINE, THANKS.
-CAN I USE YOUR BLUSH?
-YEAH, SURE. IT MAY BE
A LITTLE DARK FOR YOU.
-THAT'S OKAY, THANKS.
I LIKE DARK.
IT'S A WILD PARTY, HUH?
-OH, YEAH, THEY ALWAYS ARE.
-DON'T YOU JUST LOVE LIFEGUARDS?
THEY'RE SO HEROIC.
ONE OF THEM SAVED MY LIFE TODAY.
-REALLY?
-IT WAS REALLY ROMANTIC.
-ROMANTIC?
-I STOOD BY HIS TOWER ALL DAY.
AND THEN AT SUNSET
HE TOOK ME INSIDE.
HE TOLD ME IF I HAD DROWNED,
HE WOULD'VE NEVER
FORGIVEN HIMSELF.
AND THEN HE KISSED ME.
WE MADE LOVE
RIGHT THERE IN HIS TOWER.
WITH THE SOUND OF THE WAVES
AND THE SEAGULLS.
IT WAS REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
-[GASPS]
[SIGHS]
-I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR HIM
SINCE I GOT HERE,
BUT THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE.
THAT'S HIM.
CRAIG.
HI, HONEY, SORRY I'M LATE.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
-OH, HEY, HEY, LAURIE.
THIS IS GINA.
-OH, I KNOW, WE MET.
-YES, LAURIE'S BEEN TELLING ME
ALL ABOUT THE ROMANTIC DAY
SHE'S HAD.
-WHAT'S WRONG?
-WHAT'S WRONG IS THAT I
HAPPEN TO BE YOUR HERO'S WIFE.
-WHAT?
-THIS IS GINA.
I TOLD YOU ABOUT HER.
-YOU THINK
I WOULD HAVE COME HERE
AND EMBARRASSED MYSELF
IF I KNEW YOU HAD A WIFE?
-GINA, WHAT HAS SHE
BEEN SAYING?
-I'D LIKE TO GO NOW.
-WHAT DID SHE--
GINA: NOW, PLEASE.
-CRAIG I TOLD HER
ABOUT SUNSET IN YOUR TOWER.
HOW WE MADE LOVE.
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW.
-OH, GOD.
-GINA, SHE'S LYING.
SHE'S MAKING THIS UP.
-CRAIG, WHY ARE YOU DOING
THIS TO ME.
-DAMN IT, NOW STOP IT.
NOTHING HAPPENED BETWEEN US,
AND YOU KNOW IT.
-HE SAW US.
HE DROVE UP IN HIS TRUCK.
ASK HIM IF I'M LYING.
[TENSE MUSIC]
-GINA!
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
-GINA, THIS IS CRAZY.
I KNOW YOU DON'T BELIEVE
OWEN AND THAT GIRL.
-I JUST WANT TO SLEEP, CRAIG.
-AND WHAT HAPPENS
IN THE MORNING?
-I DON'T KNOW.
-GINA--
[PHONE RINGING]
HELLO?
LAURIE: CRAIG,
I NEED TO SEE YOU.
-OH, LAURIE,
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
LAURIE: I'LL BE AT YOUR TOWER.
IF YOU DON'T COME, YOU'LL
FIND ME THERE IN THE MORNING.
AND IT'LL BE TOO LATE
TO SAVE ME THIS TIME.
[CALL CUTS OFF]
-SHE SAYS IF I DON'T MEET HER
AT MY TOWER RIGHT NOW,
SHE'S GOING TO KILL HERSELF.
-THEN DON'T GO.
-SHE'S A TROUBLED GIRL.
SHE OBVIOUSLY TRIED TO COMMIT
SUICIDE TODAY, AND I MISREAD IT.
-THEN CALL THE POLICE.
CALL SUICIDE PREVENTION,
HAVE THEM PICK HER UP.
-AS SOON AS I KNOW
SHE'S SAFE.
-CRAIG.
-WHAT?
WHAT IS IT?
-IF YOU'RE GOING,
I'M GOING WITH YOU.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
LAURIE?
LAURIE.
-DON'T HURT ME, PLEASE.
-NO ONE'S GOING TO HURT YOU.
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU HOME,
WE'RE GOING TO SIT DOWN
WITH YOUR PARENTS.
-NO, PLEASE,
DON'T TAKE ME BACK THERE.
-HOW DID YOU GET
THESE BRUISES ON YOUR NECK?
WHAT HAPPENED?
GINA: WHO DID THAT TO YOU?
-SOMEONE AT THE PARTY?
-I LEFT AFTER YOU DID.
CRAIG: WHERE DID YOU GO?
UH...
I WENT HOME.
-IS THAT WHERE THIS
HAPPENED, AT HOME?
-LAURIE, TELL US
WHO DID THIS TO YOU
AND WE'LL HELP YOU, I PROMISE.
-NO, HE'LL HURT ME.
GINA: WHO? WHO WILL HURT YOU?
-IS IT YOUR FATHER?
-[SOBS]
[CRIES]
I DIDN'T WANT HIM
TO GET IN BED WITH ME AGAIN.
-LAURIE, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOU
BACK TO OUR HOUSE TONIGHT.
-NO ONE EVER CARED
IF I LIVED OR DIED BEFORE.
I'M REALLY SORRY.
-YEAH, THAT'S IT.
I WILL.
THANKS.
HOW IS SHE?
-ASLEEP.
-I GOT HER ADDRESS
AND PHONE NUMBER
FROM THE RESCUE CARD.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
-[SIGHS]
MY HEART'S POUNDING.
MY PALMS ARE SWEATING,
MY BRAIN IS NUMB, THANK GOD.
THAT POOR KID, I UNDERSTAND
WHY SHE FANTASIZED.
I HAD THIS FRIEND
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP.
HER STEP FATHER MOLESTED HER
FROM THE TIME SHE WAS...
[SIGHS]
11, ALL THE WAY
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL.
I NEVER EVEN KNEW UNTIL SHE
SWALLOWED A BOTTLE OF PILLS.
I KEPT THINKING
IF I'D BEEN MORE SENSITIVE
OR A BETTER FRIEND,
I COULD'VE DONE SOMETHING.
-YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING
NOW FOR LAURIE.
-I WANT TO DO MORE,
I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN.
-YOU SEE, YOU'RE A LIFEGUARD TOO
AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT.
-SHOULD WE CALL HER PARENTS
OR--
-I WANT TO JUST GO THERE
IN THE MORNING UNANNOUNCED.
I'LL CALL CHILD PROTECTIVE
SERVICES AFTER THAT.
-I LOVE YOU.
-I LOVE YOU TOO.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[OMINOUS MUSIC INTENSIFIES]
[SEAGULLS SCREAMING]
-SHOULDN'T WE HAVE BROUGHT
SOME SANDWICHES OR SOMETHING?
-SANDWICHES?
FISHERMEN CATCH THEIR LUNCH.
YOU DON'T GET SEA SICK,
DO YOU, HOBIE?
-WELL, ONLY ONCE.
THAT'S WHEN I WAS LITTLE.
-OH, WELL, YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW.
I'M NOT GOING TO WORRY
ABOUT YOU.
I THINK I'LL KEEP AN EYE
ON YOU JUST THE SAME, THOUGH.
-OKAY.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
-LAURIE?
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
-PLEASE COME IN, MR. PALMER.
-THANK YOU.
-I GUESS LAURIE GOT TO BED
KIND OF LATE LAST NIGHT.
I THINK SHE'S STILL SLEEPING.
I'LL GO GET HER.
-NO, NO, I'M AFRAID
YOU MISUNDERSTAND.
I'M NOT HERE TO SEE LAURIE.
I'M HERE TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT HER.
-OH.
-LAURIE ISN'T UPSTAIRS
IN HER BEDROOM.
-I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
-I JUST LEFT HER.
SHE'S WITH MY WIFE AT OUR HOUSE.
-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
-MAY I SPEAK
WITH YOUR HUSBAND, PLEASE?
-I'M NOT MARRIED.
-WELL, WHERE IS LAURIE'S FATHER?
-HE PASSED AWAY TEN YEARS AGO.
-WHAT?
-LOOK, WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?
-IT'S ABOUT LAURIE, SHE HAS
BRUISES ON HER ARM AND NECK.
SHE TOLD US HER FATHER BEATS HER
BECAUSE SHE WON'T LET HIM GET
INTO BED WITH HER.
-OH, GOD, IT'S STARTED AGAIN.
-WHAT'S STARTED AGAIN?
-[SIGHS]
SOMETIMES LAURIE GETS VIOLENT.
SHE HURTS HERSELF, MR. PALMER.
THEN SHE MAKES UP STORIES.
SHE JUST CAME HOME
FROM THE HOSPITAL.
SHE'S BEEN THERE
SINCE LAST CHRISTMAS.
I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.
[TENSE MUSIC]
-[GASPS]
YOU STARTLED ME.
-YOU DON'T MIND THAT I BORROWED
YOUR BLOUSE, DO YOU?
-NO, IT LOOKS PRETTY ON YOU.
-I WROTE SOMETHING
ON CRAIG'S COMPUTER.
-OH, HE DOESN'T LIKE
ANYONE USING IT.
I DON'T EVEN GO NEAR THE THING.
-WE USE THEM IN SCHOOL.
GINA, I KNOW I'VE HURT YOU
AND CRAIG A LOT.
-LAURIE, IT'S OKAY.
-NO, I HAVE.
AND I WANT TO MAKE UP FOR IT.
I KIND OF NEED YOUR HELP
TO DO IT.
-WHAT DO YOU NEED?
-I NEED YOU TO DRIVE ME BACK
TO THE PLACE
WHERE CRAIG SAVED ME.
-WHAT FOR?
-MY THERAPIST SAYS,
IF YOU HAVE A FEELING
THAT YOU WANT TO GET RID OF,
YOU WRITE IT ON A PIECE OF PAPER
AND YOU TAKE IT TO THE OCEAN
AND YOU BURN IT.
AND LET THE ASHES
WASH OUT TO SEA
OR YOU BURY IT
IN THE SAND FOREVER.
-WELL, CRAIG SHOULD BE HOME
SOON, LAURIE.
-I WANT TO DO THIS
BEFORE HE GETS BACK.
PLEASE.
THAT WAY THIS CAN ALL BE OVER.
HELP ME, GINA.
-OKAY.
-THE HOMELESS SLEEP
UNDER HERE AT NIGHT.
-CAN'T WE JUST BURN THE LETTER
BY THE SHORE
AND LET THE ASHES
WASH OUT TO SEA?
-[LAUGHS]
I DID THAT WITH A LETTER
TO MY FATHER ONCE.
IT DIDN'T WORK.
THIS IS THE WAY IN.
-LAURIE, NO,
I'M NOT GOING IN THERE.
-YOU SAID
YOU'D HELP ME BURY IT.
-WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD SEE
YOUR THERAPIST
BEFORE WE DO THIS.
-YOU'RE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.
YOU'LL HELP JUST AS LONG
AS IT'S NOT TOO INCONVENIENT.
-NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
-FORGET IT.
-LAURIE, COME ON.
LAURIE, COME BACK.
-FORGET IT.
-COME ON, DON'T DO THIS.
LAURIE.
OH, GOD, LAURIE.
[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]
GINA?
GINA?
GINA: LAURIE?
LAURIE?
LAURIE.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE
COULD SLEEP UNDER HERE.
-I LIKE IT HERE.
GINA, WILL YOU BURY THIS FOR ME?
IT WOULD REALLY MEAN A LOT TO ME
IF YOU HELPED ME.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
GINA: "I CAN'T LIVE ANYMORE
KNOWING YOU'RE IN LOVE
WITH LAURIE."
THIS IS A SUICIDE NOTE,

LAURIE, NO.
-[SCREAMS]
-LAURIE LOOK AT ME.
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU, LAURIE.
-NO, YOU'RE NOT,
YOU'RE HERE FOR HER.
-NO, I'M HERE FOR YOU,
JUST FOR YOU.
COME WITH ME, I'M HERE.
-I JUST WANT US TO BE TOGETHER.
-I'M HERE.
-IT'S OUR FATE.
IT'S LIKE THE POEM I GAVE YOU.
-IN THE BOOK YOU GAVE ME.
-YES.
-TELL IT TO ME.
LAURIE: THE POEM?
-TELL ME THE POEM.
"HE BRAVELY RISKED HIS SOUL
TO SAVE HER LIFE."
"THEN HE TOOK HER
FOR HIS WEDDED WIFE."
YOU SAVED ME, CRAIG.
ME, NOT HER.
[SCREAMS]
NO!
-LET IT GO, LAURIE.
LAURIE: NO.

OH, CRAIG.

PLEASE SAVE ME AGAIN.

HERE WE GO.
HERE, SON, WHY DON'T YOU
HAND ME YOUR LUNCH?
ATTABOY.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THIS
DOWN TO THE GALLEY

-RIGHT.

-ARE YOU KIDDING? AT HIS AGE?
IF HE'S A LIFEGUARD, THEN
I'M A REIGNING BEAUTY QUEEN.
-HE IS.

[SAD MUSIC]
AL GIBSON WAS A GREAT MAN.
TODAY, IN A WAY,
THIS IS MORE A MARRIAGE
THAN A FUNERAL.
BECAUSE TODAY THIS GREAT MAN
WILL BECOME ONE WITH
AND INSEPARABLE
FROM HIS GREAT LADY.
YOU KNOW, AL TOLD ME RECENTLY
THAT BEING UNDERWATER
WAS LIKE FLOATING
IN LIQUID HEAVEN.
SO IN A WAY,
I GUESS HE WAS ALREADY IN HEAVEN
WHEN HE DIED.
BUT YOU'RE NOT DEAD, AL.
YOU'RE ALIVE IN ME
AND EVERYONE THAT YOU TOUCHED.
IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW,
THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
WHOSE LIVES YOU SAVED.
THEY MAY NEVER KNOW THE
TREMENDOUS DEBT THEY OWE YOU.
BUT ALL OF US GATHERED HERE
ON YOUR BEACH
AND IN FRONT OF YOUR TOWER,
WE KNOW, AL.
AND WE'LL NEVER FORGET YOU
OR EVER STOP LOVING YOU.
