Baywatch (1989–2001): Season 1, Episode 2 - Heat Wave - full transcript
During the hottest day of the summer, Mitch's old friend, Steve, and his young son, Mike, show up for a surprise visit. But when Mike is trapped with a local boy in a storm drain and is in danger of drowning, Steve is forced to admit to Mitch that he kidnapped his son because he is in a custody battle with his ex-wife. Meanwhile, Craig is forced to decide by his demanding law firm boss between being a lifeguard, or staying at the law firm. But Gina suggests to him a third option: open up his own law firm.

THIS IS MY SON, HOBIE.
-MITCH: HEY, HOW

-NICE TO MEET YOU.
-SO, WE'RE ON THE
ARIZONA INTERSTATE
WHEN I SPOT THIS SIGN FOR LA.
WELL, MIKE STARTS SQUAWKING
ABOUT HOW HE'S NEVER
SEEN THE OCEAN,
WHICH GETS ME YAPPING
ABOUT HOW I MISSPENT MY
YOUTH IN THE BIG BLUE.
-YEAH, THE BIG BLUE.
COME ON IN.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY USED TO
CALL THIS GUY? BARRACUDA.
-MITCH: HEY!
-THIS GUY WAS A TERROR.
ON THE WATER, IN THE--
-YOU KNOW WHAT WE

-LET'S NOT GET
TOO DEEP HERE.
-OH, THE ONE, THE
ONLY, THE ORIGINAL...
ANIMAL!
-DAD?
-YEAH.
-HEY, HE EARNED THAT NICKNAME.
[LAUGHS]
SO, WHAT ARE YOU
UP TO THESE DAYS?
WHAT ARE YOU AN
OCEANOGRAPHER OR SOMETHING?
-NO, I'M STILL A LIFEGUARD.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I'M A LIEUTENANT.
-WOW, HEY, THAT'S
REALLY SPECIAL.
BOY, THIS SMELLS GOOD.
-WELL, WHY DON'T
YOU GRAB A PLATE?
I MEAN, I DID MAKE
YOUR FAVORITE-- FOOD.
HEY, HOBE, TAKE MIKE UPSTAIRS
AND GET HIM WASHED UP, HUH?
-HOBIE: COME ON.
-SO, WHERE IS GAYLE?
SHE'S SLEEPING OR DID YOU
GIVE HER THE MORNING OFF?
-NO.
NO, WE ARE-- WE ARE
DIVORCED, STEVE.
-OH, I'M SORRY.
ME AND ALLISON, WE ARE NOT
TOGETHER ANYMORE EITHER.
-REALLY?
WELL, I GUESS IT HAPPENS
TO THE BEST OF US, HUH?
SO, WHERE ARE YOU STAYING?
-I DON'T KNOW JUST YET.
UM, I MEAN,
WHEN I TOLD YOU THAT WE
JUST GOT OFF THE FREEWAY,
WE JUST GOT OFF THE FREEWAY.
COULD YOU RECOMMEND
AN INEXPENSIVE PLACE?
YOU KNOW, THINGS HAVE BEEN
A LITTLE TIGHT LATELY...
GOSH, YOU KNOW, THIS PLACE
IS BIGGER THAN I REMEMBER.
-SAME OLD STEVE.
-IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT?
-JUST ANOTHER DAY
AT YOUR BEACH CLUB.
WE GET TO PULL RICH DRUNKS
OUT OF THE SURF AGAIN.
-I'LL HANDLE
THE RICH ONES.
YOU COUNTY GUARDS LOOK
AFTER THE RIFF-RAFF.
A LITTLE PAINT
AND THESE THINGS WOULDN'T
BE SUCH AN EYESORE.
-NO CALL, NO WARNING?
-NOPE.
-SAME OLD BARRACUDA.
-YEP.
HE SAYS HE SAW A SIGN.
GOT AN IDEA IN HIS
HEAD AND SHOWED UP.
-WHAT DO YOU SAY?
-SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
-SAME OLD BARRACUDA.
-YOU SEE, HIS KID...
SPITTING IMAGE OF ALLISON,
CUTE AND DOESN'T SAY A WORD.
-BECAUSE STEVE DOESN'T LET
ANYBODY ELSE GET A WORD IN.
-YEAH. BUT IT WORKED FOR
HIM IN COURT, DIDN'T HE?
HE GOT FULL CUSTODY OF HIS KID,
A LOT MORE THAN YOU'RE
GUARANTEEING ME FOR HOBIE.
-GAYLE HASN'T
EVEN FILED YET.
-"YET" IS THE PREVAILING
WIND AROUND HERE.
I'M TELLING YOU, SHE'S TAKING
THIS OHIO OFFER SERIOUSLY.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE HOBIE.
-I KNOW.
-HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY,
WHAT'S WITH THE SUIT?
IT'S GOING TO BE A
MADHOUSE OUT THERE TODAY!
I NEED YOU HERE.

CLEANEST SAND, BEST VIEW...
YEAH, THANKS A LOT.
-MORNING, SID.
-A ROOKIE BEACH, THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW!
IT'S GOING TO BE A MILLION
PEOPLE OUT IN THE WATER,
AND THEY'RE GONNA BE GUARDED
BY NOTHING BUT BEGINNERS.
-NO. NO ROOKIES IN
ADJOINING TOWERS TODAY.
YOU BETTER PUT FIVE GUARDS
ON EITHER SIDE OF THE PIER,
GIVE ME TWO AT THE END OF
THE JETTY AT TOWER 11.
AND DOUBLE UP EVERYWHERE.
-DOUBLE UP?
-YEAH, DOUBLE UP.
-YES, SIR,
LIEUTENANT, SIR.
-DON'T CALL ME LIEUTENANT, AND
ESPECIALLY DON'T CALL ME SIR.
-YOU GOT IT, BABE.
[SUSPENSE MUSIC]
-MAN OVER RADIO: AND NOW MORE

SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES
THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
HEATSTROKE VICTIMS ARE

DAY OF THE SUMMER.
A DOZEN RESCUES HAVE
ALREADY BEEN REPORTED
AS PEOPLE TAKE TO THE
WATER IN SEARCH OF RELIEF.

-HOBIE: SO, JUST YOU,
MY DAD, AND CRAIG?

AS SICK AS A DOG.
-EDDIE: EXCUSE ME, THIS
GUY BELONGS TO YOU?
-WOMAN: YES.
-HE'S THROWING WET SAND
ON THE SUNBATHERS.
-OH, RICKY.
THANKS. I'LL HANDLE THIS.
I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO
BEHAVE YOURSELF, YOUNG MAN.
-IT WAS JUST A JOKE!
-AND I'M NOT
LAUGHING, AM I?
NOW GO FIND SOMETHING TO DO.
AND STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!
-HEY, MIKE, I'M GOING
TO GIVE OLD HOBIE HERE
AN EDUCATION IN BODY
SURFING. YOU WANT TO COME?
-NO, I'D RATHER HANG
OUT AT THE PIER.
-OH. HIS FIRST
DAY AT THE BEACH.
I GUESS THE OCEAN'S A
LITTLE INTIMIDATING.
-HOBIE: SEE YOU LATER.
-OKAY, PAL. BUT
I DON'T WANT YOU
GOING TO THE PIER
WITHOUT ME, ALL RIGHT?
AND PUT SOME OF THAT
SUNBLOCK ON, OKAY?
RUB IT IN REAL GOOD, OKAY?
AND DON'T TALK TO ANY STRANGERS!
-I KNOW, I HEARD,
I'M A STRANGER.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO TALK TO ME.
-I DON'T THINK MY DAD
MEANT OTHER KIDS.
-WELL, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
-MIKE HUMBOLDT.

BEACH AND SIT AROUND ALL DAY.
WELL, BYE, MIKEY. HAVE FUN!
DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS!
AND PUT THAT SUNBLOCK ON!
-WAIT UP!
-RECEPTIONIST: OH, I'M SORRY.
HE'S WITH A CLIENT RIGHT NOW.
MAY I TAKE YOUR MESSAGE?
-PAUL DUNFORD IS
DEMANDING WE REFUND
THE 6000 DOLLARS YOU
BILLED HIM LAST MONTH.
-WAIT, WHY?
I'VE BEEN KNOCKING
MYSELF OUT OF THAT CASE.
-SEEMS THAT HE SAW YOU PLAYING
LIFEGUARD LAST WEEKEND.
AND FIGURES HE SHOULDN'T
HAVE TO PAY YOU 200 AN HOUR
WHEN THE COUNTY GETS
YOU FOR 12 BUCKS.
-TWELVE-FIFTY.
AND WHAT I DO IN MY SPARE
TIME IS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS.
-HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY SPARE TIME!
I DON'T CARE HOW SMART YOU ARE
OR HOW GOOD YOU ARE IN COURT!
IF I DON'T HAVE YOU
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK,
I DON'T WANT YOU AT ALL.
-COME ON, HOW MANY TIMES ARE
WE GONNA HAVE THIS DISCUSSION?
-NEVER AGAIN.
LIFEGUARD OR LAWYER.
MAKE A DECISION.

-YOU'RE IN THE CALL CAR.
ALERT GARNER IN

-ALL RIGHT.
-THE THING IS, WHEN I PICTURED
MYSELF AS AN "ADULT,"
IT WAS AS A GUY, IN
A TAILORED SUIT,
GIVING A BRILLIANT
SUMMATION TO A JURY,
NOT A GUY WEARING
RED SWIM TRUNKS.
"PERRY MASON," NOT "SEA HUNT."
-ARE YOU KNOCKING
LLOYD BRIDGES?
-NO. WHY KEEP WORKING
AS A LIFEGUARD
WHEN YOU'RE AN ADULT?
ONCE YOU'VE BEEN IN A COURTROOM?
IT'S THE THING IS THAT I LIKE
DOING IT, I LOVE DOING IT.
AND I LOVE LAW.
SO WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE
UP ONE TO HAVE THE OTHER?
-I DON'T THINK THAT YOU DO.
-YOU GOT A WAR GOING ON AT 14.

YOU'VE EVER BEEN TOLD NOT TO GO.

COULD YOU RECOMMEND
AN INEXPENSIVE PLACE?
YOU KNOW, THINGS HAVE BEEN
A LITTLE TIGHT LATELY...
GOSH, YOU KNOW, THIS PLACE
IS BIGGER THAN I REMEMBER.
-SAME OLD STEVE.
-IMPRESSIVE, ISN'T IT?

BE SUCH AN EYESORE.
-NO CALL, NO WARNING?
-NOPE.
-SAME OLD BARRACUDA.
-YEP.

HEAD AND SHOWED UP.
-WHAT DO YOU SAY?
-SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
-SAME OLD BARRACUDA.
-YOU SEE, HIS KID...
SPITTING IMAGE OF ALLISON,
CUTE AND DOESN'T SAY A WORD.
-BECAUSE STEVE DOESN'T LET
ANYBODY ELSE GET A WORD IN.
-YEAH. BUT IT WORKED FOR
HIM IN COURT, DIDN'T HE?
HE GOT FULL CUSTODY OF HIS KID,
A LOT MORE THAN YOU'RE
GUARANTEEING ME FOR HOBIE.

GIVE ME TWO AT THE END OF
THE JETTY AT TOWER 11.
AND DOUBLE UP EVERYWHERE.

GUY BELONGS TO YOU?
-WOMAN: YES.
-HE'S THROWING WET SAND
ON THE SUNBATHERS.
-OH, RICKY.
THANKS. I'LL HANDLE THIS.

AN EDUCATION IN BODY
SURFING. YOU WANT TO COME?
-NO, I'D RATHER HANG

I GUESS THE OCEAN'S A
LITTLE INTIMIDATING.
-HOBIE: SEE YOU LATER.
-OKAY, PAL. BUT
I DON'T WANT YOU
GOING TO THE PIER
WITHOUT ME, ALL RIGHT?
AND PUT SOME OF THAT
SUNBLOCK ON, OKAY?
RUB IT IN REAL GOOD, OKAY?
AND DON'T TALK TO ANY STRANGERS!
-I KNOW, I HEARD,
I'M A STRANGER.
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO TALK TO ME.

MEANT OTHER KIDS.
-WELL, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

WELL, BYE, MIKEY. HAVE FUN!
DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS!
AND PUT THAT SUNBLOCK ON!
-WAIT UP!
-RECEPTIONIST: OH, I'M SORRY.
HE'S WITH A CLIENT RIGHT NOW.
MAY I TAKE YOUR MESSAGE?
-PAUL DUNFORD IS
DEMANDING WE REFUND
THE 6000 DOLLARS YOU
BILLED HIM LAST MONTH.
-WAIT, WHY?
I'VE BEEN KNOCKING
MYSELF OUT OF THAT CASE.
-SEEMS THAT HE SAW YOU PLAYING
LIFEGUARD LAST WEEKEND.
AND FIGURES HE SHOULDN'T
HAVE TO PAY YOU 200 AN HOUR
WHEN THE COUNTY GETS
YOU FOR 12 BUCKS.
-TWELVE-FIFTY.
AND WHAT I DO IN MY SPARE
TIME IS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS.
-HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY SPARE TIME!
I DON'T CARE HOW SMART YOU ARE
OR HOW GOOD YOU ARE IN COURT!
IF I DON'T HAVE YOU
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK,
I DON'T WANT YOU AT ALL.
-COME ON, HOW MANY TIMES ARE
WE GONNA HAVE THIS DISCUSSION?
-NEVER AGAIN.

MAKE A DECISION.

SUMMATION TO A JURY,
NOT A GUY WEARING
RED SWIM TRUNKS.
"PERRY MASON," NOT "SEA HUNT."
-ARE YOU KNOCKING
LLOYD BRIDGES?
-NO. WHY KEEP WORKING
AS A LIFEGUARD
WHEN YOU'RE AN ADULT?
ONCE YOU'VE BEEN IN A COURTROOM?
IT'S THE THING IS THAT I LIKE
DOING IT, I LOVE DOING IT.
AND I LOVE LAW.
SO WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE
UP ONE TO HAVE THE OTHER?
-I DON'T THINK THAT YOU DO.
-YOU GOT A WAR GOING ON AT 14.
