(OH NO PLAYING)

You all right, boss man?

Right. So them geese are back, and they've done nasty things to my grass again.

And they've crapped over every headstone in the whole place.

That one's the leader, Him.

(GEESE HONKING)

Hmm, Do the best you can with the grass.

Yeah, well, the best l can do is to sh**t the buggers, Charlie.

You want to run around Seaside with a r*fle, Alistair?

What about a high-powered crossbow?

(SIGHS) You remember Mr. Cosimono?

We put him in over Peach Tree Hill about a month ago?

Yeah, the dead guy, Yeah.

He's coming up. Why?

Because the police suspect his wife may be responsible for his untimely demise.

(CHUCKLING) You're joking. l shouldn't laugh. It's not funny, Oh! Speaking of untimely demise, it's me and Cindy's anniversary tomorrow night.

We're going to Maddie's. Want to come?

Yeah, l'Il try. Will you actually ty, though?

(TESS SCREAMING) 'Cause last time you said you'd try, you didn't really try, did you, Charlie?

You just ended up staying here.

And this time, Cindy has arranged a little friend to meet you.

Are you even listening? No, of course you're not.

You got that glitch in the sprinkler system fixed, didn't you?

That would be a no. But it's not my fault this time!

Don't look at me like that. It's actually not my fault. l called the sprinkler guy, and he said he couldn't come till next week.

So l was like, ''All right, cool. Come next week,''

But more important, all right, listen to me about this.

Cindy's got this mate over staying, and she is a waitress at the Red Dog lnn.

Charlie? The Red Dog Inn.

You know about the Red Dog Inn, don't you? Mmm-hmm.

AIl right. Okay. So we've been telling her about you, and she really wants to meet you, all right?

TESS: Hey!

Who's got the green thumb? What?

The garden around my father's grave needs to be completely replanted.

And?

And maybe you could do it!

Any flower preferences? TESS: Yeah, living. l prefer living flowers.

Good, l'll get right on that.

(STUTTERS) Yeah, that'll be great, getting flowers.

Sorry. Thank you.

Bye!

ALISTAIR: Anyway, so she's a little bit naughty, a little bit saucy, a little bit promiscuous.

Mmm?

The waitress, Charlie! Please keep up, mate. Red Dog Inn.

(GEESE CACKLING)

Hey! Hey!

Hey, buddy.

Hey, can you read signs? No rubbingl

(CHUCKLING)

People are always tracing these headstones.

Lieutenant Sullivan.

Sir!

At ease.

You haven't changed, St. Cloud, How's your mom?

She moved to Portland.

Hey, were you here when they brought Green in?

Drove over a land mine. He was a real mess, Not by the time l saw him. Everybody looks great after. l'm glad to hear there are some perks.

Hey, what's with this stuff all over the stone? lt's the geese, man. There's something corrosive in their shit.

Don't worry, l'm on it.

Thanks.

l wish l was there with you guys,

(SIGHS) l'm glad you weren't, Charlie, Yeah. l'm glad you weren't.

You don't have to go right away.

Enjoy your toy plane, Charlie, lt's not for me. lt's for the geese.

(GIGGLING)

GIRL 3: So, what do you wear on a sailing date?

GIRL 1: l wouldn't put too much thought into it, seeing as he hasn't been sailing in five years.

(CANNON FIRING)

So, what's new in Quincy?

Not much.

Man, you got it!

Great, let's go hit the lake, No. Not till after practice.

Back up, back up. Get out of here.

Please? Can we just go now?

What's our deal, Sam?

Yeah, that's the deal. Let's go. Grounders.

(SIGHS)

Nice.

What's wrong?

Nothing, Remember, two hands.

Don't sit back like that. Charge.

Something bad.

(SIGHS) l didn't want to tell you.

Sox lost a home-and-home to the Yankees.

l'm kidding, dork.

l saw Sully today.

Did he say anything?

About leaving?

CHARLIE: You know Sully. l think he was good with it.

I think he really missed Green. l think l'd miss you.

A little bit, Maybe.

But you don't have to.

Because we got this thing wired, (CHUCKLING) Yeah.

(GEESE CACKLING)

AIl right, you ready?

Here they come. lt's about to get bloody.

lncoming! Whoa! Retreat!

(GRUNTS)

Excuse me.

You all right? l'm sorry.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, my Lord, Charlie St, Cloud.

I brought you back from the dead. Does that ring a bell?

You're the paramedic. l'm the paramedic.

Florio Ferrente. It's so good to see you.

You want to grab a cup of coffee? Catch up? l can't, man. l've got to get back to work. l'm sory.

You can't have a cup of coffee?

So, what.,.

What have you been up to the past five years?

Are you in love? You married?

No. It hasn't happened yet.

No?

You're sick.

Yeah. l got the big C. l'm sorry.

Nah, don't be. l have no regrets. l lived a full life.

ls that really a consolation?

That's the only one there is, Charlie.

Plus, l got to witness a miracle.

How many people can say that to Saint Peter when they reach the pearly gates? Huh?

You were a complete flatline.

Nothing.

And then.,.

You must think about why.

Why what?

Why you?

Why did you get a second chance? God just doesn't show off.

There's got to be a reason God gave you a second chance.

Well, if there is one, l haven't figured it out yet.

Yeah, well.,. l don't think it's gonna come to you working in a graveyard.

You're a young man.

You should be out in the world living your life, Don't squander this gift you've been given.

And l need the cockpit tidied up.

She was fully at whole speed going downwind, handled super light, No, whether l win this race or not, let's hope that l do, right, Tink? l mean, Coach?

(CANNON FIRING) No, but whether l win it or not, it will not be because l didn't have a great boat.

Thank you so much, guys.

Come meet Rachel.

Right now? Yeah.

Rachel, this is Charlie, the one l told you about.

Hi. Hey.

Cindy said you wouldn't show.

Only because we never see you out at night, Charlie.

Ever since the werewolf bite, l tend to only come out during full moons.

The moon isn't full.

Then I guess it's your lucky night.

(SINGING STOPS)

(ALISTAIR CHEERING)

(ALL CHEERING)

(WHOOPING)

Let's hear it for Cindy!

(CROWD CHEERING)

Hey.

How's the weather looking, Coach?

Look. Low-pressure system coming down from Alaska, See how tight those isobars are on the back of the depression?

Not good.

That means more wind.

Too much wind. This test run can wait.

The electronics aren't even installed yet.

My boat gets shipped back east in a week. l need to get out on the water.

Look, obviously l'Il stay clear of the storm.

Didn't you used to be Charlie St. Cloud?

Charlie! My man. Been a long time, huh?

Come on. Jagerbombs, now. Let's go.

Hey, why are you so interested in that loon? l'm not. l ran into him for the first time since high school the other day and.,.

And?

And he flummoxed me.

TINK: Listen. Eveybody in town knows this St. Cloud kid, totally certifiable.

When we were growing up, Charlie was unbeatable on the water even got himself a sailing scholarship and eveything.

Glory days, huh, Charlie?

Hey.

Hey.

No, that's okay, man. l'm good. Thank you.

Come on, St. Cloud, don't be a woman. Have another. lt's not like there's a big demand for you as a designated driver.

So take the drink.

Wait, Charlie!

Come on, take it easy. l'm fine.

You want a piece of me, you pathetic townie creep?

Your boy just saved you from a beating.

No, you're probably right. l'm sory, man. How is everything? How's Goldman Sachs?

I heard the layoffs have been pretty brutal.

Just a better opportunity to weed out the weak.

Yeah. But you're good, right?

You still have full dental and everything?

Yeah.

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

(MAN LAUGHING)

(CROWD CHANTING)

TESS: Hey!

Really?

You didn't seem so harmless up at Maddie's.

Yeah, that. l can explain that.

Yeah? Yeah.

Connors is a d*ck.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah. AIways has been.

You don't remember me, do you?

Flukes!

Flukes?

Flukes. Like a whale tail. Uh-huh.

Can l show you something?

Yeah.

See, there's a.,.

There's newer technology. You can fabricate organic lines.

This would completely change your boat, There's no drag. There's virtually no cavitation, Yeah. l know. l wanted to do something similar.

But everyone told me structural stability was more important.

That doesn't apply here.

Why?

Because this eliminates direct stress on the keel.

That's basic! Are you serious?

Sorry.

Anyways.,. ls that my boat?

Yeah.

You drew my boat.

Yeah.

Good luck with the race, and be careful out there.

Thank you.

TINK ON RADlO: How's my girl?

CHARLIE: The first leg is an all-out 8,000-mile sprint to Cape Town.

See, rounding Cape Horn is where it gets tricky, The southern seas are tough for even the most experienced sailors because of the,.. Blood-sucking Sea-Monkeys.

lcebergs.

Of course, the (WHISPERS) icebergs.

You could never do this race.

Why? Why can't I do the ra�e? lt's a solo race. You couldn't take being alone for six months.

No way. l could do it.

What? If it wasn't for me, you could go?

No, Sam, l didn't say that. l just said l could.

Were you at my father's memorial?

Oh, my God.

l like it a lot. l don't understand it at all.

(LAUGHS) lt's about taking chances.

Sailing around the world.

l wish you could come with me, lt's a solo race.

So you could be part of my support team, l could see you for a couple days. l can't.

Why? Come on, you don't have any holidays? l just can't.

Be nothing.

There's nothing to be scared of, Sam.

Do you want me to go?

No.

Then why did you bring her?

l didn't mean to spy on you.

Charlie, it's okay.

Charlie.

The more l'm in your world, the less l can be in his.

Charlie, at some point we all have to let go.

l can't lose Sam, Tess.

Goodbye, Tess.

Good luck with the race.

You didn't die in that car crash, Charlie.

Actually, l did.

CHARLIE: l can't come to Cape Town because evey evening l play catch with my dead brother in the graveyard.

But l'll be here when you get back, Tess.

Because, of course, l never leave.

You.

Whose boat? lt's the Querencia. Tess Carroll's boat.

She was out sailing during the storm three days ago, There's been no contact since.

She was out sailing during the storm three days ago.

Three days ago.

TESS: (ECHOlNG) Is it fatal? l just hit some rough weather last night.

Yeah, I got tossed around pretty good on my last sail.

HODDY: The Coast Guard's overextended, so we're asking for volunteers to join the search.

lt's too late.

Tess?

Tess?

TESS: Why are you the only one who can see me, Charlie?

I can see you because I can see Sam.

Sam's dead.

Your boat never came back, Tess.

You never came back.

(CRYING) No, l.,.

You're in between now.

No, l lied to Tink. l lied to him. l.,.

I sailed stralght into the storm. l remember,.. l remember l saw the old Cape Flattery light.

Everyone sees the light.

No, you didn't.,. l've seen that light, Tess.

Charlie, l'm getting cold. l'm scared.

l wanted you to find me.

That's why.,. That's why l came here, 'cause l wanted you to find me.

You were supposed to find me, because you're supposed to help me.

(ECHOlNG) You were supposed to find me.

I cannot be dead. Please, Charlie, find me.

Tess!

Tess!

(CRYING)

(GRUNTING)

Tess.

She took a boat out in that storm.

She...

She never came back.

You still got me.

Yeah, l know, man.

l know.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

WOMAN: Mr. St, Cloud? l'm not on duty.

This is a personal matter. l'm Carla Ferrente. Florio was my husband. l tried calling earlier. He.., He died last night.

Florio wanted you to have his medallion.

Are you sure? l'm sure. He said it was the answer for you.

To what?

''Why you?''

That's it?

That's it.

l've never seen one of these without a cross. lt's not Christ, It's Saint Jude.

Jude is the saint of all lost causes.

There's no such thing as a lost cause.

Yeah.

Well, that's what my Florio used to always say.

God just doesn't show off.

There's got to be a reason God gave you a second chance.

You're not dead.

I just really hate geese, mate. I just hate them.

They're dirty, they crap everywhere.

Where's Tink?

You fueled up? Let's go.

What are you doing, man? Hey, hey!

Get your hands off my boat! In case you haven't heard, the Coast Guard called off the search.

Well, then give me your keys. l'm taking your boat.

The hell you are. l know where she is, Tink. Do you? l know where she is! That's it, whack jobI Go back to your coffin before l.,. l know where Tess is, Tink!

And she's running out of time! Charlie! Shut up!

Charlie! Go. Go back inside.

He's not worth it. She's running out of time!

What are you doing?

Sorry about that.

The key's in the ignition, all right? Go.

Go, go, go, go, go, Quick!

(GROANS)

Oh, he made it.

Stay down, stay down, stay down.

TINK: You frigging nutjob!

ALISTAIR: Relax, relax. Calm down, all right?

Calm down! Where are you two taking my boat?

Cape Flattery.

That's 20 miles from Tess' last known position.

But it's exactly where she would have been if she sailed straight into the storm, Tink!

She's about to sail around the world.

She would have wanted to test her boat in heavy weather, You didn't even know her, St. Cloud.

How could you possibly know what she would have done?

Because it's what l would have done, Tink.

That's what any sailor would do.

TINK: l'm good. l'm good. You all right? l'm gonna let you up, all right?

Relax.

TINK: All right. AIl right, Charlie. Say you're right.

Say she wanted to test the boat. Okay?

It doesn't matter

'cause we both know that no one can survive for three days in these cold waters.

Just listen to me, Tink.

She's alive.

She's alive.

She's alive, Tink.

Flattery Light!

What time is it?

Midday.

We've covered eveything up to Spike Rock, Let me grab the wheel. Come on, l got it, lt's my boat. l know what to do. Come on.

Come on.

Keep your eyes open.

Get some rest.

lf we start now, we could make it back to Quincy by sunset,

What is it you do in the woods every night, man?

lf l told you, you wouldn't.,.

You wouldn't believe me. l would believe you.

You're my mate.

You know, she might not even be out there.

What's up, Charlie?

Sam?

ALISTAIR: Just bear right, all right? Slow down.

We should be coming up on it.

We're clear on the starboard side.

AIl right, that first one's going past us now.

There it is!

TINK: g*dd*mn it, Tess!

CHARLIE: It's at 10 o'clock, about 10 meters off. l can see it, l can see the base! l'm bringing her back.

ALISTAIR: Bear right, mate! Bear right!

TINK: l got it, l got it, l got it.

Get as close as you can!

ALISTAIR: Hey!

TINK: Hey! Charlie, what are you doing?

Charlie! Charlie, the water's like ice! Don't be an idiot, mate!

Please wait for the Coast Guard!

If we wait, it'll be too late.

You won't last long enough to save her, mate, Please!

This is why l was given a second chance.

No! Wait! Charlie!

We need immediate medical assistance for one,..

ALISTAIR: Two! He just dove in!

And when you hugged her, your body warmth kept her alive.

Look, well done, mate. Proper hero.

l heard you were back home.

They were gonna strip it for scrap, so l took it off their hands.

Well, l'm gonna fix her up, make some modifications.

Oh, yeah? Some flukes?

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

Some flukes.

You know, that was the last conversation l had before l woke up in the hospital bed.

Really?

Yep. Well, unless you include Tink's radio chatter. Which l don't.

You have a good memory.

Well, there's one thing l'll never forget. lt's that you saved my life, Charlie St. Cloud.

She's a blue-water cruiser. Where you headed?

And you're in them.

And we're in them, And.,.

Never mind.

They're not dreams, Tess.

They're memories.
