Baywatch (1989) s02e02 Episode Script

You stop thrashing, or I'll gut you like a fish.
She said that he held a gutting knife to her stomach and he told her, "You won't get away from me twice.
" If I had reported it, maybe that other girl wouldn't have been attacked.
We'll nail this guy.
Mitch, I think it's our man.
Stay here! It's time now to cut the fight out of you for good.
Good afternoon, this is Los Angeles County Lifeguard Service with your midday beach report.
Presently, the air is 88 degrees, the water is 72 degrees.
Wind out of the west at ten miles an hour, and visibility is eight miles.
We have a south swell of three to six feet and great shape.
And now for the Stew Report.
All seats are in an upright position for takeoff.
Visibility is unlimited here in the friendly thighs.
Oh, who's this coming in on the next runway? Lufthansa, the bikinis are full and rising with swells of 36 to 38 inches and great shape.
Hey, I'm Harvey.
Fly me! Alitalia has some extremely long legs down by the surf line.
Thongs very much.
Know what I'm saying? No, Harvey, I don't know what you're saying, but I'm sure it's disgusting.
Bye.
He's crazy! Whoo-hoo! It is a beautiful day for flying, and Air France is flying in formation, getting ready to touch down.
Air France flight 36-24-36, this is Harvey Tower, come in.
Flaps are up, gear is down.
A perfect three-point landing.
I give them a ten on the Harvey scale.
My, my, my, my.
Harvey, you'd better learn some new languages.
These aren't working for you.
All right, that's enough! Stop it! Knock it off.
Stop! Take them from the inside.
Hey, come on! You want me?! You all right? Yeah, I'm all right.
Why don't you wait over there? Are you all right? What is wrong with these people? Can't they just come to the beach for fun anymore? You were great out there, you know? You kind of remind me of a little Boom Boom Mancini, bobbing and weaving.
They wanted to drown each other, you know? I should have just let them.
So are you all right? Does this hurt? Yes, it hurts! Let's call Garner and just have them arrested! Hey, Meghan.
Hey.
What happened to you? Oh, two jerks fighting over a plot of sand.
They've got the whole beach, and they both have to have the same spot.
It's gotten crazy out there, huh? How's this water project coming? Good.
Tide pool seems to be thriving.
I think the polluters are finally getting the message.
Contaminant levels are way down.
Oh, well, that figures.
Now that the water is safe, the beach is hazardous to your health.
All right, kids, on the mats! Let's stretch those muscles.
I heard your Stew Report this morning, Harvey.
I was just entertaining the troops, you know, Bob Hope of the beach.
You know Bob Hope's nose go that way, don't you? Yah! All right! That's enough.
Let's rotate and work on defending attacks from the rear.
Why can't you just be yourself and stop with the comedy routine, huh? Yeah, well, that's easy for you to say.
I mean, you're the brooding James Dean type.
Women just naturally want to pull you to their breast and nurture you.
Hey, Brooke, I haven't offended you lately, have I? Yeah, well, you can never be too precise about the size of waves.
Hah! Okay.
Remember, the police will respond to your calls for backup, but you people are the first lines of defense.
Ready? Go.
Come on, let's do it.
Come on, let's go! Eddie, we are lifeguards, not cops on the beat, okay? Shauni.
Look, what would you have done if one of those creeps grabbed you like this, huh? I would have waited for you, darling.
No, I'm serious.
What if before I got there, he grabbed you like this and throws you to the sand like this, huh? I'm serious, Shauni.
Huh? What if he had a razor and he was coming at you? It's not that I can't do it, Eddie.
It's that I don't want to "have" to do it.
Well.
Hey, wait a minute.
Well, I'm glad to see you've got things well under control.
It's not fun anymore.
We work here, Shauni.
It's our jobs.
It's not always going to be fun.
I know.
I just would really like to lay on the sand with a pair of headphones and listen to some music, maybe read a book.
Not always have to worry about watching the water or breakup fights in it, you know? Check the parking lot for weirdos I know what you mean.
No, you don't.
Yes, I do.
No, you don't.
Eddie, look, you love the action.
I mean, the more dangerous the beach is that Mitch assigns you to, the better you like it.
I get bored otherwise.
I know, and I mean, that's great, that's okay for you.
But I miss playing volleyball, you know? And tossing a Frisbee.
Maybe even building a sand castle.
A sand castle? God, do you know how long it's been since I built one? Do you want to build a sand castle? Come on, let's build a sand castle.
No.
Come on.
Well Get a big old castle going.
Then have a little thing on top Huh? Now we'll start building a moat.
Are you going to help me out or what? What you do that for? 'Cause I felt like "crushing" a sand castle instead.
Hey! Get off the rocks! I'm a lifeguard! Read the sign! Get off the rocks! Whoa! Stop thrashing or I'll gut you like a fish.
You don't have to hurt me.
I'll cooperate.
Well, you ain't got no choice.
You got away from me yesterday, and I hate when I lose a catch.
I'm a person, not a You're still lured by bait.
Rich men with their money and Hi.
You okay? Yeah, I just took an extra little workout.
Wait a minute.
How'd you get those bruises? I had some trouble near the rocks.
What kind of trouble? Why you asking me all these questions? I'm sorry.
I'm fine, okay? Don't worry about me.
Okay.
Hi, I'm Derrick.
No, it's got to be real.
I'm, uh, Harvey.
Harv.
Harvey.
Would you like to go out and grab a burger with me sometime, maybe? I'm an international spy posing as a lifeguard.
This is a matter of life and death.
I need your help.
Hello? Hi.
Hi.
Excuse me.
Could you slow down for just a second? Thank you.
Well? Am I getting a speeding ticket? Hey, you speak English.
Better than you speak French.
Yeah.
Well, if you have nothing else to say, I've got to run.
Uh, hey, my name is Harvey.
Can I, can I take you out for a burger? I'm a vegetarian! Hey, I like salads, too.
You won't get away from me twice.
You're not the same one.
I'm telling you, something's wrong.
I've never seen Megan act this way before.
Tell me about it.
Shauni's been pretty stressed out lately.
You know, I got enough recurrence to handle this weekend.
Why don't you take her on a busman's holiday? A what? You know, a busman's holiday.
Take her to a nice hotel on the beach.
Just the two of you.
Lots of fun, no responsibilities.
Trust me.
It'll work wonders.
Yeah, well, it sounds great, Mitch, but you know I can't afford that.
Just a suggestion.
Hey, you okay? You okay? It's all right.
It's all right.
It's okay.
Harvey.
I was talking to her one minute before it happened.
I was 100 yards away, and I missed it.
You can't stop everything before it happens.
Mitch, what did Garner say? He said he'd like us to bring her to the police station as soon as she's up to it.
I'd like to drive her, if that's okay.
I think you should.
How is she? She's battered and scared.
You think she's up to giving the police a statement? She's still really upset.
She said she wanted to see you.
Me? Yeah.
Why? I don't know.
Why don't you find out? Come on.
He was a surf fisherman, can you believe that? Was she able to describe him? Yeah, about 5'10", 170.
He was wearing a baseball cap and mirrored glasses.
Mitch, I run by guys like that all the time.
I mean, this could have happened to any one of us.
To Meghan, Brooke, me Just be careful.
From now on no workouts alone.
She said that he held a gutting knife to her stomach, and he told her you won't get away from me twice.
Twice? Yeah, and then he looked at her and he said you're not the same one and he let her go.
Not the same one? I mean, what does that mean? I should have encouraged you to run with me.
So I wouldn't have been alone when So why did you run away? I knew your reputation.
You come on to every international in their native tongues.
Then make a joke out of it So you won't be so hurt when you're rejected.
What are you a psychologist? A stewardess.
It requires the same skills.
They want me to report what happened to the police.
Okay, I'll take you.
We'll catch this guy.
But I have a flight in two hours.
I already told the other lifeguard what happened.
I just want to leave this place, please? Take me back to my apartment so I can pack.
On one condition.
That you promise to see me on your next layover.
I'd like that.
And you go with me to see the police.
On one condition.
That you make me laugh afterwards.
It's a deal.
Hey.
Let's go.
Let's get something to eat.
Let's go to The Hut.
I can't.
I've got to go home.
My parents are leaving for the weekend.
The whole weekend? Yeah, they bought a new condo in Palm Springs.
Well, that's fantastic.
I'll come over, we'll have a nice weekend together, and I won't feel like a social outcast.
What? What is it? You can't come over.
Why? You said they're going to be gone.
I promised them that you wouldn't.
Wait a minute.
Let me get something straight here.
Your parents made a point to make sure that I wouldn't come over? I'm sorry.
Eddie, look, as long as I live in their house, I've got to live by their rules.
Then move out.
It's not that simple.
Look, I am in a lousy mood and I'm tired.
I want to go home and I want to get some sleep, okay? I'll call you.
Yeah.
Mitch? Is that you? John? Who's there? Yeah, I'm coming.
Meghan.
What? No, not yet.
You were attacked on the beach yesterday, weren't you? Was he a fisherman? How did you know? Because he attacked a girl who looked a little like you, too.
Yesterday.
Please, no.
It's okay, she got away.
Thank God.
Maybe because it wasn't you.
It's because I got away.
At least I thought I did.
Why didn't you report it? Would you believe that reporting terrified me almost as much? Do you know what it's like to report a rape, Mitch? No.
Well, I do.
After I got away from him, when I was treading water, it triggered some old feelings, and I was afraid that if I reported it, the way I did once before, the feelings would come back.
Oh, God, Meghan, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
Had I reported it, maybe that other girl wouldn't have been attacked.
All right.
Now let's just take this thing from the beginning, one step at a time.
I'll put on some coffee, huh? Don't worry.
We'll nail this guy.
Good morning.
Don't stop.
Don't you want to get an early start? Yes.
Big day ahead of us.
We're going to have lots of fun.
This is fun.
You're so beautiful.
I'm so happy you got this boat.
I just can't believe you got it for free.
Well, I told the broker I might buy it, but I had to test it out first to make sure I could handle it living in such tight quarters.
And can you? Buy it? What, are you kidding me? Handle living in such tight quarters.
Oh, as long as you're with me, the tighter the better.
I love you, Eddie.
And I love you, too.
He had the mirrored sunglasses on all the time? You never saw his eyes? No.
But I know exactly what I look like when I'm scared.
You don't have to be scared anymore.
That's what we say to victims to make them feel better.
I know, but it's the truth.
Boy, if he takes off that hat and those glasses, he's going to be mighty hard to find.
I scratched him.
Where? His cheek.
His left cheek.
Meghan, tell him about the knife.
He had a gutting blade.
Can you describe it? In my sleep.
Bone, like an antler.
About five inches long.
Good, good, that'll help.
You give me a couple hundred copies of that sketch, I'll have it posted in all the towers and piers.
No.
That could drive him away.
We have to catch him.
Meghan, look, I understand how you feel.
But this is a police matter now.
I don't want any lifeguards running around playing Magnum PI.
I'm not going to be his prey anymore.
Meghan.
It's time for me to do some fishing.
And I know exactly what to use for bait.
Nothing so far.
Let me know if any of them leave the pier, okay? Mitch, I think it's our man.
He just went in the women's side of the restroom.
I'm on it.
Stay here.
Anybody in there with him? I didn't see anybody.
Could be.
Freeze! Hands in the air! Turn around! Come on! Spread them! You fight this, and this line will cut you up.
It'll cut your throat.
Look, I just came in here because the men's room was flooded! Chill.
Let me see some ID.
I'm checking on Meghan.
This is good.
Tell me what it feels like.
What does it feel like? Come on.
Tell me what it feels like.
I don't know what you mean.
You tell me what it feels like to be caught.
Please, no.
No, you tell me.
This is something I live for.
When I can feel the fish make its last, desperate attempt at life, we're connected and I can feel it struggle, and I can feel it when it surrenders.
I'll never surrender to you.
You have to kill me.
Do you know why I wear these? So that you can see yourself the same way I see you.
I want to see you.
Your eyes.
It doesn't matter what you want.
Garner, I'm under the pier.
I need backup, "now.
" Have you ever heard the sound a whale makes with his big harpoon? It sounds like women screaming.
You can kill me, but I won't scream for you.
You'll scream.
Then please, don't make me watch.
Please take off your glasses.
All right.
Still you think you can fight back? Well I guess it's time now just to cut the fight out of you.
How's it feel?! How does it feel to get caught? How's it feel? How's it feel to get caught, huh? How does it feel on the end of "my" line? Tell me! Meghan.
Stop.
Meghan, Meghan! Garner! Over here! Get rid of this guy.
If he gives you any trouble drown him.
Let's go.
It's okay.
Okay, sweetie.
It's okay.
It's all over.
It's all over.
