-YOUR PRESCRIPTION
WILL BE READY

IN JUST A MINUTE,
MR. O'HARA.

-THANKS, SAM, NO HURRY.

I HAVE TO PICK OUT A
BIRTHDAY CARD, ANYWAY.



-THIS IS EXPIRING,
MISS CAPSHAW,

AND MAKE SURE YOU TAKE
THOSE PILLS WITH FOOD.

THEY'RE VERY POWERFUL.

-I PROBABLY WON'T
EVEN NEED THESE.

IT'S JUST IN CASE.

-OKAY, IT'LL BE JUST
A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

-THANKS.

-GIVE ME THE CASH
IN THE REGISTER. NOW!

BACK OFF! BACK OFF!

STAY OVER
THERE, OLD MAN!

GET UP!
GET UP!

GIVE ME THE CASH.

-I THINK HE'S HAVING
A HEART ATTACK.

CALL 9-1-1, HURRY!

-YES, WE HAVE AN
EMERGENCY RIGHT NOW!

A MAN IS HAVING A
HEART ATTACK!

YES, HE'S DOWN
RIGHT NOW.

-ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT --

-NO, HE'S GETTING CPR.

-NEELY: TWELVE, THIRTEEN,
FOURTEEN, FIFTEEN.

FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT.

-NEWS ANCHOR: THE ROBBER
IS STILL AT LARGE.

THE VICTIM, JOHN O'HARA, TRULY
HAD THE LUCK OF THE IRISH

WITH HIM YESTERDAY.

HE SUFFERED HIS HEART
ATTACK RIGHT NEXT

TO AN OFF-DUTY LIFEGUARD.

NEELY CAPSHAW FROM BAYWATCH
INSTANTLY BEGAN CPR.

WHEN THE PARAMEDICS ARRIVED,

THE QUICK-ACTING
CAPSHAW HAD SUCCESSFULLY

RESTORED O'HARA'S PULSE,
SAVING THE MAN'S LIFE.

HE'S STABLE NOW AND
RESTING COMFORTABLY

AT ST. JOHN'S HOSPITAL.

-THERE IT IS.
[LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE]

LET'S SUBMIT HER FOR
A MEDAL OF VALOR.

-DONNA: HEY,
WHEN'S SHE COMING IN?

-MITCH: THIS AFTERNOON.

-DONNA: I'VE MISSED HER.

THE SKIING ACCIDENT
WAS PRETTY BAD, HUH?

-EVIDENTLY, SHE HAD A
HERNIATED DISC IN HER BACK,

TRACTION, THE WHOLE WORKS.

-THINK SHE'S
READY TO LIFEGUARD?

-I KNOW SHE'S GONNA
NEED SOMEONE TO HELP

HER GET IN SHAPE
FOR THE RECHECK.

-OH, MY BACK.

-DONNA: NEELY,
ARE YOU OKAY?

-YEAH, I'M FINE.

-DONNA: ARE YOU SURE?

-OKAY, THANKS.

-DONNA: DO YOU
THINK YOU CAN JOG?

-SURE.

-YOU'RE SURE
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

-I'M FINE.

-HMM.

EXCUSE ME, WHAT ARE
YOU GUYS DOING HERE?

-YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW.

-I NEED TO KNOW.

-THAT IS MY UNCLE.

HE SAYS IT'S TIME
FOR HIM TO DIE.

-DIE? WHEN?

-HE SAYS SOON.

-HERE?

-I'M AFRAID SO.

-[LAUGHS] HE CAN'T DIE HERE.

THIS IS A PUBLIC BEACH.

-NOT ANY MORE.

-DON'T LET HIM
DO ANYTHING.

JUST MAKE SURE HE STAYS
ALIVE UNTIL I GET BACK.

-[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

-[TRIBAL MUSIC]

-HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

-MITCH, THIS IS ANNA.

-HI, ANNA.

-LANI: AND THAT'S HER
UNCLE, EYES THAT SEE AT NIGHT.

-WHAT'S HE DOING?

-IT'S A CHUMASH
DEATH BED.

-MITCH: WHAT?

-A DEATH BED.

HE HAS CHOSEN
THIS PLACE TO DIE.

-MISS, IF YOUR
UNCLE IS SICK,

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET
HIM TO A HOSPITAL.

-HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL,
BUT HE LEFT TO COME HERE.

LISTEN, I'M REALLY SORRY
FOR CAUSING A SCENE.

MY UNCLE, HE'S
VERY OLD-FASHIONED,

AND TRADITIONAL,
AND VERY STUBBORN.

ONCE HE MAKES
UP HIS MIND--

-WE'VE GOT A LITTLE
BIT OF A PROBLEM HERE.

WE'RE L.A. COUNTY LIFEGUARDS,
AND THIS IS OUR BEACH.

HE CANNOT DIE HERE.

HE'S GONNA HAVE TO GO
BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.

-WELL, HE SAYS
HE WON'T LEAVE.

WE'RE WAITING FOR HIS
LAWYER TO GET HERE.

-[LAUGHS] LOOK, I DON'T
THINK YOU WANNA GET

INTO LEGAL ISSUES HERE.

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO RESOLVE
THIS BETWEEN OURSELVES.

-LOOK, I'D LIKE
TO BE COOPERATIVE,

BUT HE WON'T LEAVE

NOW THAT HE'S STARTED HIS
JOURNEY DOWN THE PATH.

-WHAT KIND OF PATH?

-HIS FINAL PATH
FROM THIS WORLD.

-ANNA: IF HE DOESN'T
ENTER THE PATH FROM HERE,

THE LAND OF HIS ANCESTORS,

HE BELIEVES HIS SPIRIT
WILL WANDER FOREVER.

-EXCUSE ME.

HI, MY NAME
IS MITCH BUCHANNON.

I'M AN L.A.
COUNTY LIFEGUARD.

I UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE DOING,

BUT, SIR, YOUR PATH
CANNOT BE HERE.

-IT IS HERE, AS
IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

-I CAN'T STAND BY AND
LET YOU DIE ON THIS BEACH.

IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL.

IT'S AGAINST THE LAW.

-WHITE MEN'S LAW MAYBE,

BUT THAT'S SECONDARY
TO HIS TRIBAL LAW.

-MITCH: [LAUGHS] CRAIG!

-HEY, BUDDY, HOW ARE YOU?

-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

-WELL,

I'M HIS LAWYER.

-[SOFT MUSIC]

-[SOFT ROCK MUSIC]

-BEST FOURTH OF JULY.

-1990, NO, NO, NO, '91.

-SKINNY DIPPING AND
FIREWORKS AT MALIBU PIER.

-THEN HOT CRAB AND
COLD BEER AT POINT DUME.

-AWESOME, AWESOME.

-HEY, GUESS I MISSED YOU.

I'M JUST CALLING TO
SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING.

I'LL TRY LATER. BYE.

-GINA'S NOT HOME?

-UH UH. BEST
CATALINA TRIP.

-BIG AL'S RENTAL BOAT.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

THE LOBSTER DIVE. [LAUGHS]

-IN THE POURING RAIN.

-MITCH: IN THE
RAIN, AWESOME.

YOU KNOW, I
GOTTA TELL YOU,

I ADMIRE YOU FOR WHAT
YOU'RE DOING FOR THAT GUY,

WHAT'S HIS NAME, EYES --

-EYES THAT SEE AT NIGHT.

-THAT'S COOL.

-THANKS.

SIX YEARS OF REDUCING
CORPORATE TAX LIABILITIES.

IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO HELP
PEOPLE INSTEAD OF PORTFOLIOS.

WHAT YOU DO, MAKING A
DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES,

THAT HAS MEANING.

-IT MAY HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE
TODAY, BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW,

THE COUNTY IS GOING TO SEND
AN ATTORNEY OUT TOMORROW,

AND THEY'RE GONNA MAKE
THAT OLD GUY LEAVE.

-MAYBE.

I'LL GET A COURT ORDER
AND HE'LL BE BACK.

-WHAT IF THE GUY
DOESN'T DIE?

I MEAN, HE COULD BE ON THE
BEACH FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

-MITCH, THE GUY'S
TERMINAL. HE'S GONNA DIE.

I THINK HE'S GOT A RIGHT
TO DIE ON THAT BEACH,

AND I JUST WANNA TRY
TO PROTECT THAT RIGHT.

-NEELY: MITCH!
-DONNA: HEY!

-HEY, HEY, COME HERE,
COME HERE, COME HERE.

DONNA MARCO, NEELY CAPSHAW,

I'D LIKE YOU TO
MEET CRAIG POMEROY.

CRAIG IS AN OLD LIFEGUARD.

-NOT THAT OLD.

I'VE STILL GOT SOME
MILES LEFT ON ME.

-ABSOLUTELY, I WOULDN'T
MIND TAKING A TEST DRIVE.

-DONNA: NEELY.

-SORRY, NEELY,
CRAIG IS MARRIED.

-I DON'T SEE A RING.

-SO, CRAIG, HOW LONG HAVE
YOU BEEN LIFEGUARDING?

-DO YOU HAVE A TAN
LINE ON YOUR FINGER?

OH!

-HANG ON, HANG ON,
HANG ON, HERE YOU GO.

HERE YOU GO.

-CHEERS.

-[LAUGHING]

-MAN: ABSOLUTELY!

-WOMAN: LOOKING GOOD!

-[BEACH-GOERS CHATTER]

-HEY, HOBIE, HOLD UP.

HEY!

I THINK WE SHOULD HEAD UP
TO CLUB RIO TONIGHT, MAN.

IT'S THE HOTTEST CLUB
IN TOWN RIGHT NOW.

-YEAH, MAN, IT'S
WALL-TO-WALL BABES.

-COME WITH US, HOBE.

-YEAH, MAN, I KNOW
ABOUT THE CLUB RIO, MAN.

I ALSO KNOW YOU HAVE TO BE
21 TO GET IN THAT PLACE.

-NO, NO, NO, YOU
HAVE TO HAVE AN ID

THAT SAYS YOU'RE 21
TO GET IN THAT PLACE.

-CHECK IT OUT.

-WOW, MAN,
THAT LOOKS REAL.

WHERE'D YOU GET IT?

-I KNOW THIS GUY
WHO MAKES 'EM.

THEY WORK EVERY TIME.

-YEAH, MAN, ONLY 20
BUCKS AND YOU'RE IN.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

-CRAIG: HEY,
THANKS FOR DINNER.

YOU SURE YOU DON'T MIND ME
BUNKING HERE FOR A WHILE?

-CRAIG, I GOT A
GUEST ROOM, RIGHT?

YOU'RE A GUEST.
IT ALL WORKS.

-THANKS.

HOW ABOUT I USE YOUR
PHONE TO CALL GINA.

-HELP YOURSELF.

WHEN YOU GET HER, TELL
HER I SAID HI, WILL YOU?

-CRAIG: YEP.

HEY, IT'S ME AGAIN.

JUST THOUGHT I'D CALL AND
SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING AND UH...

OH, MITCH SAYS HI.

IT'S THE MACHINE.

-HEY, GINA!

-CRAIG: I GUESS I'LL TRY
AGAIN SOMETIME TOMORROW.

BYE.

-WHERE IS SHE?

-SHE'S OUT SOMEWHERE.
I DON'T KNOW.

-[MUG THUDS AGAINST TABLE]

THE MOVIES OR SOMETHING.

-THE MOVIES?

CRAIG, IT'S 3:00 IN THE
MORNING IN WASHINGTON.

-YEAH.

-[MITCH SIGHS]

-ALL RIGHT,
WHAT'S GOING ON?

-GINA AND I ARE,
UH, SEPARATED.

-[SIGHS] OH, MAN, I'M
SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW.

HOW LONG?

-THREE MONTHS NOW,

WHICH EXPLAINS MY
RING-LESS TAN LINE.

-WHAT HAPPENED?

-IT'S THE SAME
OLD STORY.

WHAT'S THE EXPRESSION?
GROWING APART.

-YEAH, I KNOW THAT ONE.

-GINA JUST LOVES THE WASHINGTON
SOCIAL LIFE, YOU KNOW.

SHE GOT SUCKED INTO
IT MORE AND MORE,

AND I JUST GOT TO A POINT
WHERE I COULDN'T STAND IT,

OR MY JOB.

IT'S EVERYTHING
BACK THERE.

IT'S THE POLITICS, IT'S
THE BACK-STABBING.

-DID YOU TRY COUNSELING?

-WE DIDN'T FIGHT,

JUST STARTED TALKING LESS AND
LESS UNTIL WE GOT TO THE POINT

WHERE THERE'S NOTHING
LEFT TO TALK ABOUT.

SO, I FIGURED I'D
COME BACK HERE

AND TRY SOME
PRO BONO WORK,

AND SEE IF I COULD
MAKE SENSE OUT OF IT.

-IS THERE ANOTHER, UH--

-I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK ABOUT IT,
I GO NUTS.

WHEN YOU AND GAYLE
SPLIT UP, DID, UH--

-SAME, I WENT NUTS.

-I THINK I SEE HER IN
EVERY RED CONVERTIBLE

THAT GOES DOWN THE STREET.

I HEAR HER VOICE, I TURN
AND I LOOK, SHE'S NOT THERE.

I HEAR A SONG, IT
REMINDS ME OF HER.

-MITCH: "OUR HOUSE,"
CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH.

THAT WAS OUR SONG.

EVERY TIME I HEARD THAT,
I'D THINK OF GAYLE AND, UH,

I STILL DO.

CRAIG, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOU.

YOU JUST GOTTA
GIVE IT SOME TIME.

-HOW MUCH?

-AS MUCH AS IT TAKES.

-GREAT.

[OPENS BEER]

-[UPBEAT MUSIC]

-DJ: WHO'S NEXT
TO CHALLENGE KYLA?

ALL RIGHT, YOU,
GET OUTTA HERE.

-NO WAY.

1200 BUCKS, I COULD
USE THAT KINDA CASH.

-I KNOW, MAN, YOU
SHOULD GO FOR IT.

-YOU CAN TOTALLY DO IT.

-YOU THINK?

-AW, DEFINITELY.

-EASILY.

-I'M HERE TO

COME ON, MAN!

-[LIVELY DANCE MUSIC]

-[CROWD CHEERS]

-HE WON!

-[CROWD CHEERS AND APPLAUDS]

-HEY, YOU DIDN'T
LET ME WIN, DID YOU?

-NO, YOU WERE REALLY
GOOD, CONGRATULATIONS.

-WHOA, THANKS.

YEAH!

-[CLUB MUSIC PLAYS]

ALL RIGHT!

-CONGRATULATIONS, YOU DID
WHAT NO ONE ELSE COULD.

YOU WON THE
$1200 PRIZE MONEY.

-ALL RIGHT!

-ALL RIGHT, SHOW ME SOME
ID AND THE MONEY'S YOURS.

-UH, I SHOWED IT TO
THE GUY AT THE DOOR.

-YOU SHOWED HIM; NOW,
YOU GOTTA SHOW ME.

-YEAH.

-[DARK MUSIC]

-TWELVE HUNDRED BUCKS, I WON
AND THEY WON'T GIVE IT TO ME.

-YEAH, BUT YOU BROKE THE RULES
WHEN YOU USED THE FAKE ID.

YOU GOT KIND OF
A BART SIMPSON

FINGER-IN-THE-SOCKET
THING GOING THERE, HUH?

-COME ON, CRAIG,
I'M SERIOUS!

WHAT DOES AGE HAVE TO DO
WITH A DANCE COMPETITION?

I WAS THE BEST DANCER.
I SHOULD GET THE MONEY.

-BUT YOU
MISREPRESENTED YOURSELF

TO GET INTO
THE CONTEST.

-WE SHOULD TAKE
THIS TO COURT.
-WE?

-YOU'RE MY LAWYER.

-THERE'S A PRECEDENT
GOING AGAINST YOU.

A TEENAGER IN LAS VEGAS.

HE WON A WHOLE BUNCH
OF MONEY IN THE SLOTS,

BUT HE WASN'T 21.
THEY DIDN'T GIVE
HIM THE MONEY.

-I SAY WE GO FOR IT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY? WILL
YOU BE MY LAWYER?

-I'LL LOOK INTO IT.

-ALL RIGHT, GOOD.

-HEY, HOBIE.

-YEAH.

-DOES YOUR DAD
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?

-UH, NO, AND YOU
CAN'T TELL HIM.

ATTORNEY-CLIENT
CONFIDENTIALITY.

-OH, THAT'S NOT FAIR.

-I KNOW. IT'S THE LAW.

-[DOOR CLOSES]

-LIFEGUARD: PLEASE STAND
BACK BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE.

-HE STILL SAYS HE WON'T LEAVE
'TIL HIS LAWYER GETS BACK.

-THE ATTORNEY'S ON THE WAY
FROM THE COURTHOUSE NOW.

-I DON'T THINK
IT'LL MATTER.

AS UNFEELING AS
IT MIGHT SEEM,

YOUR UNCLE IS TRESPASSING
ON COUNTY LAND.

NOW, WE DON'T WANT
A FREAK SHOW HERE.

IT'S ALREADY BEEN
ON THE NEWS,

AND IT'S GIVEN THE
COUNTY A BLACK EYE.

-WELL, YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO

PICK HIM UP AND
CARRY HIM AWAY.

-DON'T LOOK AT ME.

LOOK AT HIM.

-MR. TULLY, MR. POMEROY.

CRAIG IS EYES THAT SEE
AT NIGHT'S ATTORNEY.

-THIS IS A COURT ORDER TO
ALLOW EYES THAT SEE AT NIGHT

TO REMAIN WHERE HE IS UNTIL
THERE'S A FINAL DECISION

ON THE LAND LEASE ISSUE.

-LAND LEASE?

-YEAH, THIS LEASE IS
BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL OWNERS

OF THIS BEACH, CHUMASH INDIANS
AND THE SPANISH SETTLERS.

-I CAN'T READ THIS.

-I KNOW, I CAN'T
EITHER, BUT THEY CAN.

IT WAS HANDED DOWN IN
THEIR FAMILY FOR 300 YEARS.

-WHAT IN THE WORLD
HAS THIS GOT TO DO

WITH COUNTY
BEACH JURISDICTION?

-THE COUNTY BOUGHT THE
BEACH FROM THE SPANISH,

BUT THE SPANISH NEVER
HAD THE RIGHT TO SELL IT

BECAUSE THEY
ONLY HAD A LEASE,

AND THAT LEASE EXPIRED A
LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO,

SO I'M AFRAID THIS
BEACH HAS REVERTED

TO ITS ORIGINAL OWNERS,
THE CHUMASH INDIANS.

-BUCHANNON, DO SOMETHING.

-WHAT?

HE COULD THROW US OFF HIS
BEACH FOR TRESPASSING.

-MITCH: COME ON,
TAKE A RECHECK.

-CRAIG: NAH, I'M NOT
LIFEGUARD MATERIAL ANY MORE.

-MITCH: SURE YOU ARE.

-CRAIG: YOU'RE NOT
SURE ABOUT ANYTHING.

-MITCH: SURE, I AM.

-CRAIG: OH, REALLY? WHAT
ABOUT EYES THAT SEE AT NIGHT?

YOU SURE YOU'RE DOING
THE RIGHT THING?

-MITCH: WELL,
MAYBE, YEAH.

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

-YEAH! I THINK.

-YEAH, RIGHT, NEITHER
ONE OF US ARE SURE

AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

BECAUSE IT GOES AGAINST
EVERYTHING A LIFEGUARD

IS TRAINED TO DO.

-HE SIGNED PAPERS
IN THE HOSPITAL.

HE'S ALREADY REFUSED ALL
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES

TO SAVE HIS LIFE.

HE'S WILLING HIMSELF
TO DIE RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE NOT CHOOSING
WHEN. HE IS!

WE'RE JUST HELPING
HIM CHOOSE WHERE!

-NO, NO, NO,
NO, NO, NO,

WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE
PUTTING A SPIN ON THIS THING

TO EASE YOUR CONSCIENCE!

-WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

-MEANING WHEN IS NOT
OKAY, BUT WHERE IS!

-OKAY, SO I DON'T
KNOW HOW I FEEL!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL!

-I'M NOT YELLING, I'M...

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

IT'S JUST THAT THIS
WHOLE THING IS CONFUSING.

-HOW THE HELL DO
YOU THINK I FEEL?

-I DON'T KNOW!

-ALL RIGHT, I FEEL
LIKE IT'S RIGHT.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

-I'VE NEVER HAD TO DEAL
WITH THIS SITUATION.

I DON'T KNOW.

-SYMPTOMS,
RESPIRATORY DISTRESS,

ABDOMINAL CRAMPS
AND VOMITING.

NEELY.

-HMM?

-COME ON, YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO PASS

THIS FIRST-AID TEST
TO MAKE RECHECK.

OKAY, LISTEN.
RESPIRATORY DISTRESS,

ABDOMINAL CRAMPS
AND VOMITING.

WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS?

-ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK,

POSSIBLY AN ADVERSE
REACTION TO BEE STINGS?

-RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, RECHECK REQUIRES
A PHYSICAL, NEELY,

AND A BLOOD TEST.

-[TRIBAL MUSIC]

-I'LL TAKE THE
BLAME FOR THE FIRE.

IT'S CEREMONIAL

I JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART
TO MAKE HIM PUT IT OUT.

-DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

-ALL RIGHT, TWO THINGS.
ONE, ON THE BEACH--

-THE ANCIENT WAYS
HAVE TO BE HONORED.

YOU AND YOUR FRIEND,
YOU UNDERSTAND THIS.

-I THINK WE DO.

-BY RESPECTING MY DEATH,

YOU HAVE SHOWN THAT YOU
HAVE RESPECTED MY LIFE.

-I RESPECT YOU,
BUT I'M A LIFEGUARD,

AND YOU'VE GOTTA
RESPECT ME, TOO.

MY JOB IS TO SAVE LIVES.

-I UNDERSTAND.

WHEN I DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO,
YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

MY SPIRIT WILL
LEAVE MY BODY,

AND FLY ON THE WINGS OF
AN EAGLE TO THE STARS.

-[MAN SPEAKS
NATIVE AMERICAN LANGUAGE]

-[DRUMS BEAT]

-[TRIBAL CHANTING AND MUSIC]

-I JUST, LOOK, I DON'T
KNOW IF IT'S BURNOUT,

OR I'M JUST SICK OF BEING
ON THE A-LIST TO PARTIES.

I JUST KNOW THAT IT'S GOTTA BE
ABOUT SOMETHING OTHER THAN--

IT'S ABOUT DOING SOMETHING
THAT FEELS RIGHT.

I UNDERSTAND.

I UNDERSTAND,
RIGHT, GINA.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK
ABOUT 8:00 YOUR TIME.

-GRANDMA WILL GET US SOME
POPCORN, OKAY, SWEETIE?

OKAY.

-YEAH.

YEAH, LOOK, I'LL
CALL YOU TOMORROW.

I GOTTA GO. BYE.

-HEY! HEY!

HEY, KID!

DON'T STEP UP THERE!

HEY! HOLD IT!

HOLD ON! HEY, HEY!

HEY! NO!

-[GRANDMA SCREAMS]

-[BOY SCREAMS]

-[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

-[GRANDMA CRIES
AND SCREAMS]

-[CROWD CHATTERS]

-THERE, RIGHT THERE.

-[BOY COUGHS]

-IT'S OKAY, BUD,
YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE SAFE NOW.

GOOD BOY, GOOD BOY.

YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
IT'S ALL GONNA BE OKAY.

-[SOFT MUSIC]

-HEY, RECHECK,
BIG DAY, HUH?

-YEAH, SO THEY SAY.

-YOU'RE TAKING IT,
AREN'T YOU?

-I DON'T THINK SO.

-NEELY!

NEELY!

YOU CAN'T BE A LIFEGUARD
UNTIL YOU PASS RECHECK.

-YES, I CAN.

-NO, YOU CAN'T!

THE BEACH CLUB IS HIRING.

A PRIVATE CLUB ISN'T SO
PICKY ABOUT ITS LIFEGUARDS.

-PICKY? WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING ABOUT?

-I'M NOT IN GOOD
ENOUGH SHAPE, ALL RIGHT?

-YES, YOU ARE!

-NO, MY BACK,
IT'S NOT READY.

-NO, NO, THIS ISN'T
ABOUT YOUR BACK, NEELY.

-HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHAT IT'S ABOUT?

-I KNOW.

-YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

NO ONE DOES.

-[SOMBER MUSIC]

-GIVE THIS TO MICHAEL,
WILL YOU? THANKS.

-IS IT TRUE ABOUT NEELY?

-YEAH, I'M AFRAID SO.

-WITHOUT HER, HOW
MANY CANDIDATES DO

WE HAVE FOR RECHECK?

-LET'S SEE, ONE, TWO,
THREE, FOUR, FIVE--

-SIX.

-[MITCH LAUGHS]

SO, WHAT MADE YOU CHANGE
YOUR MIND, PRAY TELL?

-I THINK IT WAS THE SOUND
OF A YOUNG KID CRYING.

-I READ THE REPORT.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE IF YOU'RE
STILL LIFEGUARD MATERIAL.

-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

-I THOUGHT YOU QUIT.

-I CAME TO CLEAR
OUT MY LOCKER,

BUT I SEE YOU'RE
DOING IT FOR ME.

-IS THIS WHY YOU QUIT?

-GIVE ME THOSE!

-DONNA: YOU KNOW, THIS
EXPLAINS EVERYTHING, NEELY.

HITTING ON CRAIG,
KNOCKING OVER GLASSES.

YOU WEREN'T GETTING
MAKE-UP IN THAT PHARMACY.

YOU WERE GETTING THOSE.

-THIS IS NONE OF
YOUR BUSINESS.

-YOU'RE ADDICTED, NEELY!

-I'M NOT ADDICTED.

-THEN THROW THOSE AWAY.

-YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M
GOING THROUGH, HOW I--

-YES, I DO, I DO!

MY SISTER WAS HOOKED
ON PAIN PILLS.

YOU'RE ON THE EDGE
OF A CLIFF, NEELY.

EITHER BACK AWAY OR
THOSE WILL PUSH YOU OFF.

LET ME HELP YOU.

GIVE ME THE PILLS.

-[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

-[SIGHS] I CAN'T!

-[GRUNTING]

-LOOK AT WHAT
YOU'VE DONE!

-DONNA: WHEN YOU'RE
READY FOR HELP, CALL ME.

I'M HERE FOR YOU, NEELY.

-RECHECK! [BLOWS WHISTLE]

-[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

-WOO HOO!

[MITCH APPLAUDS]

-[LAUGHS] ALL
RIGHT, YOU MADE IT.

CONGRATULATIONS.

HERE, CHECK THIS OUT.

SEE IF THIS FITS.

YEAH, IT LOOKS
GOOD, ALL RIGHT!

-THANKS.

-MITCH: I'M PROUD
OF YOU, MAN.

-LIFEGUARD: BEHIND
THE LINE, PLEASE!

CAN WE GET YOU
BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE?

-[CROWD CHATTERS]

-YOU'RE ON, COUNSELOR.

-THE LAND LEASE CHALLENGING
THE COUNTY'S JURISDICTION

OVER THIS BEACH HAS BEEN
THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED

BY SUPERIOR COURT
JUDGE ALICE FRANKLIN.

ITS VALIDITY HAS BEEN
OVERRULED AND THROWN OUT.

THE CIRCUS IS
OVER. I'M SORRY.

WE GOTTA CLAIM
THIS BEACH.

-TULLY, YOU AND I
KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T

ABOUT THE
COUNTY'S RIGHTS.

IT'S NOT ABOUT NATIVE
AMERICAN RIGHTS.

IT'S ABOUT A HUMAN BEING'S
RIGHT TO DIE THE WAY HE WANTS,

WITH DIGNITY.

-PLEASE RESPECT MY
UNCLE AND HIS WISHES.

-LIKE I SAID, I'M SORRY.

I CAN'T LET HIM STAY HERE.

-[TRIBAL MUSIC]

-THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

-THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE, ANYWAY?

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE BACK
IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

BY NOW, COUNSELOR.

-YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT OPENING

UP A STOREFRONT LAW
OFFICE IN VENICE.

-[LAUGHS]

[INHALES DEEPLY]
FRESH AIR!

-OH, I MISS THIS.

-A LITTLE LAWYERING,
A LITTLE LIFEGUARDING.

-EXACTLY, TAKE
IT AS IT COMES.

-ONE DAY AT A TIME.
