[Heavy vehicles running]
[truck horn]

-[Chuckles] listen
to my horoscope.

"Today is your day.

"Excitement and
romance run wild.

"Your life is on fire."

That is so not my day.

The most exciting thing I've
done is picked up litter.

Oh, and my date last night?

Stood me up.

-What's mine say?

-Uh, when's your
birthday again?

-Ah, that's very funny.

-Uh, let's see.

"A day to be extra careful.

"What seems harmless
can be very dangerous.

"Pisces figures prominently."

Put the trash in there.
-Jessie: hey.

-Hey.

-People are complaining
about a terrible smell

That's coming out
of that tunnel.

-No problem,
we'll check it out.

Back to your tower, huh.

-All right.
-See ya.

-Thanks.

[Beach crowd chatter]

[Construction machinery running]

[Construction crew chatter]

-Inch and a half each.

-Uch.

Uch.

Whew!

-Smells like something
died in there.

-Sea lion?

-I don't know,
let's check it out.

-Maybe we should call
animal control first.

-No, no, no, let's see
what we're dealing with.

-Yeah.

Listen.

What is that?

-[Sniffs] gas leak.

The construction crew must
have severed a gas line.

-Dad.

-Come on!

-What'd your horoscope say?

-My life is on fire.

-That's what I thought.

[Funky music]

-Yo, randy, what
took you so long?

-Yeah?

-Josie.

-Yeah.
-Come on, let's dance.

Dance with me, come on.

I'm coming out.

Come on, it's easy, see?

You never want to dance.
-No, not cool.

Not now.

-Come on.

Man.

Randy, beer me, man.

-Hey, no problem.

-How's it going?
-All right.

-Doing all right?

-Hey, hobie's here.

What's up, dude?

-Hey, hobie.
-Hey.

-Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

-Me, too.

Hey, you better take
it easy with those,

We've got to train tomorrow.

-Oh, don't worry,
I only had a couple.

-All right.

-I want to be a
lifeguard too much

To blow a shot a rookie school.

-All right, well,
o t w at 7am, then.

-O t w?

-On the water.

-Oh.

-We got some dory work to do,
and some paddle boarding,

But I'll take care
of you, don't worry.

-Thanks, hobie.

A shot at baywatch
means everything to me.

Come on.
-Yeah.

-Hey, hobe.

-Yeah, randy, what up?

-What's up man,
you want a brewski?

-No, actually, I'm cool.

Hey, when are you
shoving off to stanford?

-In a month.

Coach has got me enrolled
in some summer tennis camp.

He wants to check the
talent before classes start.

-Yeah, right on.

I'll see you on the
sports page, right?

-Hey-hey, it's the cabana boy.

-Easy, dudes.
-Hey, be cool, huh brad.

-I'm just saying hi
to an old buddy, right?

Listen, you got any
sand in those shorts,

Mr. Hero lifeguard?

-Give me a break, I've
never heard that one before.

Ah, he nuked me.

Hey, so, you gonna go
to the prom?

-Yeah, I'm going with liz.

You've already graduated,
man, you going?

-Was thinking about it.

-Josie and I are.

Ain't that right, baby?

Come on, guys, it's time
for the booze cruise.

Let's go, come on.

All aboard.

-You know what, brad?

You've been drinking and
these boats haul, man.

It's not a good mix.

-It's my old man's boat.

It got us here,
it'll get us back.

-Yeah, well, maybe,

But you're looking
through beer goggles, man.

I've been driving a
boat at work all day.

-Look, we're going.

It's in stone, man,
it's a done deal.

-Yeah, all right.

Well then let me be
the designated driver,

Give me the keys.

-Buchanan, I kicked
your butt at surfing.

I kicked your butt at hoops.

And I can kick your
butt driving a boat.

-I don't know what
you're thinking, man,

But you need to give
me the keys, all right?

Hey, tell him.

-Just let hobie drive.

-Yeah, brad, let him drive.

-Girl: come on.
-Boy: yeah, let him drive.

-Girl: let's go.

-You want these?
-Smart move.

Not funny.

[April grunting]

-Hey.

-Hi, rosemary.

Hey.

-Hey.

Just getting rid
of some aggression.

What's up?

-Um, do you mind if
I ask you a question?

I know there's sort of
an unwritten rule about

Lifeguards discussing, um...

Never mind, it's probably
none of my business.

-It's ok, I can
talk about it now.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

I had a bout of post
traumatic stress syndrome.

-What causes that?

-Well, I tried to
rescue this man,

His name was vic, and
I couldn't save him.

He drowned.

-Wow.

How does...

I'm sorry, I'm probably
way out of line.

-No, don't worry, I'm ok now.

I mean, at first
I had nightmares,

And I kept reliving it
over and over but...

-What did you feel?

-Guilt.

I felt that a man had died
because of my mistake.

And I was blaming myself for
something I shouldn't have.

I got so afraid that it
was going to happen again

That I didn't want to
go back to that tower.

-What if...

What if it happens again?

-Well, I hope it doesn't.

-But what if it does?

-Jessie, sometimes I
look out at my water and

There are a thousand or
2,000 people out there.

And unless they're waving
their arms or yelling for help,

One could slip under and
I would never even know.

All you can do is try your best.

[Poignant music]

[Boat engine revving]
[kids whooping and cheering]

-Randy: go faster, hobie!

-You're the best.

[Kids cheering]
[rowdy music]

Yeah.

-Whoa.

Josie, what are you doing?

[Kids screaming]

[Water lapping]

[Breathing heavily]

-Josie!

All right, you're all right.

[Brad sputtering]

Now hold on, hold on right here.

[Coughing]

[Ominous music]

-Radio: baywatch
headquarters to scarab one.

A private aircraft
just radio'd mayday,

A boat has flipped due
west of the marina.

The pilot reports
passengers in the water.

Please respond code r.

[Ominous music]

-You hurt?

-Oh, my leg.

-You're gonna be all right.

-Jessie, take the wheel.

-Ok.

-Hold on right here.

-Hobie, are you all right?

-Yeah, I'm all right, but
we got more people under.

[Dramatic music]

-You guys ok?

[Boys answer unintelligibly]

Here, here, take this,
take a hold of this can.

Got it?

[Dramatic music]

-Come on.

You ok?

-Yeah.

-Come on.

Are you guys all right?

[Dramatic music]

[Siren]

[Crowd chatter]

-Oh god.

My old man's boat, man, he's
going to k*ll me after this.

-Are you ok, buchanan?

-Yeah, I'm all right.

-Been uh, been drinking
a little beer, huh?

-No, I haven't been drinking.

-I can smell it.

-Well, some got
spilled on me earlier.

I wasn't drinking, I swear.

-I understand it was
your father's boat.

Were you driving?

-I was.

-So what happened out
there, how did it flip?

-I don't know.

I guess I was driving too fast,

And we hit a wake,

And I lost it.

-I'm going to take
you down to the station

For a blood alcohol test.
Why don't you stand up.

-What, handcuffs?

Come on.

-It's procedure.
-What?

I wasn't drinking, I swear.

Brad, tell him.

-We'll let the
test decide that.

-Hold on, all
right, she's hurt.

-Just let me talk to her.
-Hobie, come on, let's go.

-Come on.

Brad, tell him.

Hey, I rescued them all.

[Engine turns over]

-Officer: right here.

[Door closes]

-Are you all right?

-Yeah.

I'm really sorry, dad.

-Were you drinking?

-No.

I swear.

Everybody else was,
that's why I was driving.

I thought it was the
best thing to do.

-Why didn't you just
take the damn keys?

-They wanted to go.

We were all just
having a good time.

I've been driving the
scarab so good at work,

I wanted to show josie.

-The police report said

There were six people
on the speedboat.

You know better than that.

-I know, I had
it under control.

Until josie wanted to go faster.

-Oh, god, don't tell
me this whole thing

Is about showing off for a girl!

-No, I had it.

And then josie pushed
down the throttle.

It took about a second.

We hit a wake off
center and flipped.

-She pushed the throttle?

-Yes.

-Why didn't you
tell the police?

-She wants to be a lifeguard.

We were supposed to
train this summer.

-So you covered for her.

-Baywatch would have never
let her be a lifeguard.

-Oh, this is terrific.

You cover for her,

Now you're in jail
being held responsible.

-She'll tell you she did it.

-No, she won't.

Hobie, she's in the
hospital, unconscious.

Stupid thing to do, stupid!

-Stupid!
-I know, all right?

I screwed up.

I'm sorry.

It happened.

I wish it didn't, but it did.

It's a big nightmare.

-Oh, it's no nightmare.

It's real.

-April: hey.

-Hi.

April went to an attorney.

-Ah, thanks.

-Well, I got some
news and it's not good.

The blood test results won't
be ready 'til tomorrow.

-Tomorrow?

-And the bail has
been set for $300,000.

-$300,000.

I can't make that bail,
that's just so high.

-I checked with
the hospital and

There were some broken bones and

Some bad cuts but they
were all able to go home.

-So how's josie?

-She's still there.

She's in a coma.

-Oh my god.

-All right, all right.

What are we looking at?

The truth.

-The attorney says that if...

If josie's condition...

If she dies, hobie could
face involuntary manslaughter

And, if convicted,
he could go to prison.

[Door opens]

-Oh, dad.

-Officer: all right, son,
we got to go.

-I'm scared.

-Yeah, I know, me too.

Look, I'll get you
out of here, ok?

I'll get you out.

[Solemn music]

-Poor hobie, he
looks so scared.

-Yeah, well, he's
got a reason to be.

What are you doing?

-Hey.

I'm just doing some
repairs on the surf ski,

There's some pretty bad dings.

-Thought cheryl was
supposed to be doing that.

-Oh, she was, but we t x'd,

She's watching my tower
and I'm doing the repairs.

-I give out the tower
assignments here,

You're in tower 12, not cheryl.

-I know, but she really
wanted to watch the water today

So I thought I could just--
-don't.

She tweaked her ankle
playing racquetball,

I don't want her
in a tower today.

-I'll take her tower.

-And I'll take the switchboard.

-What is with all
this whining stuff?

You're on the board,
you're in 12,

Cheryl's on the surf ski.

The way it is.

[Mellow music]

-Hey.

-Hey.

-You're pretty lucky, I wish
I could work a tower today.

-Maybe you could convince
mitch to let us trade.

-Well, you heard him.

Jess, are you ok?

-Yeah, I'm fine.

Why?

-You seem a little antsy.

-I'm ok.

-Did what I say upset you?

-No.

I mean...

It's horrible, what happened.

-You asked, "what
if it happens again?"

And I don't know.

We're lifeguards
and we save lives,

And we do the best
that we can, but,

Bottom line is, it can happen.

-Comes with the
territory, right?

I know.

I'm going to go relieve
cheryl at her tower.

-Jess, do you want to
talk about this after work?

-No, I'm ok.

See you.

-What about my car?

Yeah, I know it's not paid for,

But isn't there something--

Yeah, i-i-i-i know,
I know, I know.

All right,
well thank you anyway.

[Phone slams] damn it.

[Knocking]

Yeah, come in.

What's this?

-It's just rainy-day money,

And it's raining.

Rainy-day money, a
check for $25,000?

-You remember
those designs I did

For california lifestyle shoes?

It's my first royalty check.

It's yours.

-Thanks, but I can't take this.

-Hobie is one of us, mitch.

And we take care of our own.

-It's the deed to my house.

It's just not enough collateral
to bail him out of jail.

Doesn't even come close.

I'll never forget this.

You want to cover for me?

I'm going to go get
my boy out of jail.

[Dramatic music]

[Monitor beeping]

[Melancholy music]

-Hey babe.

Brought you some flowers.

Josie, you got to wake up.

Hey, you got a prom
to get ready for.

You know we gotta train
for rookie school.

I'm so sorry, josie.

-Still no change?

-She's the same.

-What are you doing
near my daughter?

-I just came to
see how she's doing.

-Haven't you done
enough already?

-Uh, look, let's just
calm down here, ok?

I understand how you feel, but--

-Are you his father?

-Yes.

-Then you don't
understand how I feel,


Because your child is awake
standing right next to you.

My child is asleep,

And I don't know if she's
ever going to wake up.

-All right, look, hobie
is not completely innocent,

But josie isn't either.

-What the hell are
you talking about?

-Listen, I was
driving the boat,

But josie pushed
down the throttle.

That's why we were
going so fast.

That's why we flipped.

-I don't believe a
word you're saying.

-Well it's true.

You can ask brad.

He saw.

Tell him.

-Is it true?

Is it?

-We were all
having a good time.

And then things just got
a little out of control.

Hobie kept going
faster and faster.

We kept begging him to
slow down but he wouldn't.

It was like he was
trying to impress josie.

The boat was getting air,

We were bouncing
all over the place,

I mean, I could
barely hang on inside.

I guess he was playing
chicken or something.

He just barely missed
hitting the bell.

Josie was so afraid
she started to cry.

-Stop, please.

-I tried to pull him away.

We wrestled, I almost had him.

Hobie just lost it.

-You're lying.

-Mitch: all right.
-Hobie: you're a liar.

[Indistinguishably yelling]

That's not how it happened.

Josie pushed the throttle
down, he's lying.

-You did it.

You were messing around
and we flipped, you.

You flipped the boat,
you did it.

[All yelling]

-You put my daughter in a coma,

And then you lie about it when

She's not able to
defend herself?

You disgust me.

-No, I didn't

-Brad: he's lying.
-Mitch: not here, not now.

-No, no, no, there's
going to be more.

I'm bringing a
lawsuit against you.

You are going to pay
for what you did.

Big time!

[Solemn music]

-Mornin'.

-Hey.

-Rough night?

I heard you walking
around downstairs

Until four o'clock
in the morning.

-Yeah, I know, I
couldn't stop thinking.

-Anyway, which tower
am I working today?

-Hobie.

I talked to the chief this
morning about the situation.

She feels, 'til it's resolved,

At least until the arraignment,

That, um, you be placed
on temporary leave.

-You don't believe me, do you?

-Oh, you know better than
that, I'm your father.

But I'm also your boss,

I got to think about what's
best for baywatch here.

Look, if it was newmie or manny

Or any other lifeguard
in your position,

I'd have to do the same thing.

You're just going to
have to hang in there.

I'm sorry.

-Thanks a lot.

Boss.

[Screams]

-Jessie.

What's the matter?

Jess, what's wrong?

Hold on, wait up.

Jessie, I am worried about you.

What went on back
there in the tower?

-You don't have to
worry any more, april.

-I'm quitting.
-What, why?

-Because if what happened
to you happens to me...

I just don't know.

What if I let someone die?

-Ok, well, think about all
the lives that you can save.

What if you're not
out there to try?

Jessie, you're a natural.

You have what it
takes to be one of

The best lifeguards at baywatch.

-I froze up today.

I completely fell apart.

I'm no good to you, to baywatch,

Especially to anyone out there.

I can't go back in
that tower, april.

I just can't.

-Listen,

The coasties called
in a ghost net,

And I have to go pick it up.

Come with me.

Finish your shift, and then,
if you still feel the same way,

Then you can decide
what you want to do.

-Blonde: I've heard this is

The best spot for
snorkeling in malibu.

-Brunette: I should
have brought my camera.

Come on.

[Easy-going music]

[Scarab engine running]

[Suspenseful music]

-Help!

-What' the matter?

-My friend's down there.

She's stuck in some kind of net,

Please help her.

-Get her aboard
and then help me.

[Suspenseful music]

-Over here, I'll help you up.

[Suspenseful music]

-Are you ok?

-I'm fine, please
help my friend.

-She's tangled
in the drift net,

Get me a knife.

-Jessie, get me
the knife, hurry!

-Oh.

[Suspenseful music]

-Jessie, give us a hand.

Help her up.

[Waves crashing]
[crowd chatter]

-Yo, buchanan.

Locals only, man,
no kooks allowed.

Go find a break somewhere else.

-Whatever, brad, shut up.

-Look,you wouldn't
be in so much trouble

If you hadn't've pushed
that throttle so hard.

-You know I didn't
push that throttle--

-Look, I saw you, man.

-You're a liar and you know it.

-Oh yeah?

[Dramatic music]
[boys grunting]

[Blows landing]
[grunting and groaning]

[Siren]

-Break it up.

Break it up!

Break it up!

Knock it off!

Knock it off!

Knock it off.

Come on.

-Brad: he started it.

-Come on, come on,
out of the water.

Out of the water, come on.

Come on.

-All right.
-This isn't over yet,

Cabana boy, you know that.
-That's it.

Knock it off!
Off the beach.

You, too, off the beach.

What are you thinking, huh?

Huh?

-It's no big deal.

-What do you mean,
it's no big deal?

You already made
one huge mistake.

You dodged that b*llet.

You punch this guys
lights out, man,

You lose your job.

-He started it.
-Oh, he started.

What are you, some little kid?

When are you going
to grow up, huh?

Hobie, I put our house
up to bail you out.

April gave me a check
for $25,000 to help.

Now, you got a lot of people
believing in you, man.

You can't let us down.

All right?

-Yeah.
All right.

Hospital called.

-Josie?

-Yeah.
-Let's get out of here.

[Solemn music]

-Hobie.

-I don't want you here.

-He's my friend, daddy.

-Friend?

If it weren't for him you
wouldn't be in this hospital.

-That's not true.

-Why don't you just
stay a while, brad.

-Josie, brad said that I
pushed the throttle down.

-What?

Brad, why would you say that?

Didn't you tell him?

-Yeah, but he
doesn't believe me.

Maybe he'll believe you.

-Daddy.

I pushed the throttle down.

We got going too fast.

It wasn't hobie's fault.

It was mine.

Me.

-But...

Brad said that hobie...

-You can go now, brad.

-Uh.

I am so sorry, i...

I owe you both a big apology.

-It's all good.

[Tender music]

[Dramatic music]

-Where are you going?

-I'm quitting.

-No you're not.

You haven't even started.

-Someone could have
drowned out there today,

Because of me.

-Tomorrow's a different story.

Jessie, you're young.

You'll grow.

Look, you already have
more natural talent than

Just about any lifeguard
I've ever seen.

Hey.

You're good.

We need you.

-Let me think it over and

I'll talk to you
about it later, ok?

-Yeah, when?

-Tomorrow, 6:30.

-Tomorrow, 6:30.

Talked to jessie,

She'll be here tomorrow
morning at 06:30.

I think things are
going to work out.

-Oh, good, I was
worried about her.

-Hey guys.
-Hey!

-Had a great shift.

It's good to be back on the job.

-Well, it's good
to have you back.

-I wanted to thank
you guys, actually,

For standing by me
and believing in me.

-Well, it's the easiest
thing in the world to do.

-I think you learned
something, huh?

-Definitely.

-All right, well, uh...

Go on.

-Go where?

-There.

-Whoo, I'll see you guys later.

What's up, baby?

-Hi.

[Romantic music]

-Isn't kissing a girl on
duty against regulations?

-I don't think that's kissing,

I think that's
kind of like, uh...

Short of breath, um...

He's doing what every
red-blooded american lifeguard

Should do in his situation.

-She's a little out
of shape, isn't she?

-Yeah, yeah. [April laughs]

Come on, come on.
