Baywatch (1989) s02e09 Episode Script

"Tonight, on" Baywatch: Meet Turner, the most reckless lifeguard I've ever worked with.
It's good to see you again, Megan.
They were pretty hot and heavy for about a year or so, before his accident.
He's got nothing to prove to me.
I'm just afraid he's here to prove something to himself.
15-year-old girls in floss bikinis.
They only do what he says because he's cute.
I know what they're after, Eddie.
Oh, yeah? What? A trophy.
You can take it off me if you want.
What am I being arrested for? Statutory rape.
What?! Come on, buddy.
Let's go! You got it.
You got it.
It's your game, come on.
You got it.
Drink this.
What was that? Raw eggs, fish oil and powdered liver.
Yes! We win.
Thanks a lot, man.
Next time, don't ask me what's in it.
And, next time, don't let me win.
Let you win? I can hardly get the feeling back in my arm.
Yeah, right.
You built some upper body.
Yeah, you can really build one in one of these.
Megan, you have got to take me with you to Australia.
I would love to lifeguard there this winter.
We're called surfsavers down there.
Shauni, you would love it.
It is so beautiful.
I bet it is.
What is going on out there? "They" call it male bonding.
You know, I would really like to take some Super Glue, stick it to their hands so that when they slap each other's backs they'll really bond.
Let's do it.
Well, I only think about these things.
You, on the other hand, have the guts to do them.
Well, it comes from living in different countries all your life.
You can get away with anything as long as you move away before your victims have time to get even.
Right.
Well, I guess it's time to go back to work.
I don't believe this! All right, we won! "We won"? What do you mean, "We won"? You bet against your father? He was four-to-one favorite, Dad! Hobie, I'm going to have to arrest you for gambling.
Lock him up! Hey.
Hey, Mitch, about these tower assignments.
I thought that you said Oh! Shauni, meet Turner, the most reckless lifeguard I've ever worked with.
He means to say "fearless" Who is this guy? I am the perfect man.
Arms to hold you lips to kiss you, and wheels to carry you away.
Oh! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Yee-hah! Turner.
Whoo! And he made it around turn number one! Oh, my God! Stretch into turn two! Here we go to the finish! Yes! Yes! Hey, hey, hey.
Time to work here.
Why don't you just go play on the bike path? Okay, I'll behave.
Does that mean I can get up now? Well, of the two of us, you're the only one who can.
Hey, Hobester! What do you say you and I do a little boogie-boarding tomorrow, huh? All right! Hey, Mitch, I would like to talk to you.
You promised me that you wouldn't assign Eddie to Gidget Gulch.
I know.
I changed my mind.
He handles that beach very well.
in floss bikinis.
They only do what he says because he's cute.
I rest my case.
Shauni, can I see the tower assignments? Yeah.
Turner! It's good to see you again, Megan.
You said you were never coming back to L.
A.
Well, I was offered a job.
Really? That's great.
Where? My old high school.
They want me to be the gym teacher there.
Well, I think you'd be a terrific teacher.
So, how long were they together? They were pretty hot and heavy for about a year or so.
Before his accident.
Mm.
How did it happen? The '89 Lifeguard Competition.
Turner was the hotshot at Zuma.
Guess I was the one to beat here.
Been going up against each other for years.
Turner beat me at the wire in the run-swim-run.
I guess he wanted it more.
Boy, winning was everything to that guy.
But I was determined to beat him at flags.
After three elimination heats, it came down to me and Turner going after the last flag.
He said I only beat him because my arms were longer.
And that that wouldn't matter in the final event: The dory race.
Turner was with Newman.
I was with Greg.
There were dories from all eight beaches.
It was twice around the buoy and back.
Heading towards the finish, Turner's dory was so far ahead that some of the other boats were just starting their second laps.
That's when it happened.
Turner got out of his dory for the run to the finish line.
I was right behind him.
Bud Hubbell's boat flipped in the surf, and he was knocked unconscious.
Turner and I ran back in to get him.
Turner got to him first.
Another dory was heading in.
He put his body between Hubbell's and the dory as it crashed down.
As I carried him out, I could feel his back was broken.
He kept telling everyone that it was no big deal.
That he was all right.
He insisted that, even though I was carrying him, that he was the first one out of the water, and that I owed him a dinner.
What happened with him and Megan? I don't know exactly.
Just ended.
Just tell me one thing.
Why did you stop returning my phone calls? We, uh, said all there was to say.
And, uh, I mean, what else was there to talk about? You look really great, Megan.
I love your hair.
It's shorter.
Actually, it's grown in a little bit.
Look, I have to go and open up my tower.
Well, maybe I'll get a chance to see you before I head back to San Diego.
Of course, if you've got other plans, uh I've had to make a lot of "other plans" since you left, Turner, but I'm glad you came back.
I hope you take that job.
See you, Turner.
Need some help, bro? No.
Go save some lives, huh? Okay.
McClain, 17.
I was just thinking about you.
Oh, I'm sure you were.
Better not ever catch you in a bathing suit like that.
I could never afford one.
It has nothing to do with the money.
Bye.
Be home on time.
Why didn't you tell me he was coming? Hey, hey, hey, I was just as surprised as you were.
When he showed up.
Looks good, though, don't you think? Yeah, he looks great.
No, I mean he seems to be in a lot better frame of mind.
I hope so.
You guys going to get together? Mitch, he shut me out of his life when I wanted to be there for him.
It took me a long time to get him out of my mind.
Maybe he just needs a friend.
You're his friend.
He's got nothing to prove to me.
I'm just afraid he's here to prove something to himself.
Okay, that's it.
Let's lock up.
No.
No, one more, one more.
All right, this is the last one.
Come on now.
That's it.
All right, let me help you.
Let me help you.
That's it.
Let's lock up.
No, I got one more, I got one more.
All right, this is it now.
Come on.
Come on! Come on! You got it.
You got it! All right! Whoo! Had enough? No, let's go again.
All right, get it.
Come on, Kelly, wake up! Good one, yeah! Hi! Hey! Killer buns.
Oh, I like his abs.
I want him this summer.
Me, too.
He's mine! Now are we going to play the last point or not? Why don't you lighten up, Jenna? Game point.
Okay.
Got it! Got it! Can I play winners? You guys go to Pali? I'm transferring there in the fall.
Like we care.
Come on, girls.
Let's go in the water.
All right.
Hi.
How you doing? Is it, uh, safe to swim? Absolutely.
Just swim parallel to the shore, and don't go out too far, all right? I go far when I go out.
Yeah, all the way.
Come on, Shauni, how could you possibly be jealous of these little beach bunnies, huh? Maybe because I went to Pali and I hung out on this beach.
I know what they're after, Eddie.
Oh, yeah? What? A trophy.
You already won it.
That's right, I did at 15, just like them.
And you know what? The lifeguard was Never mind.
It doesn't matter.
Who?! No, no, never mind.
It really doesn't matter.
You know him, so forget it.
Who?! Mitch? Newmie? - Who was it? - Never mind.
Shauni, cover my beach.
I got you.
Hang on.
Is she okay? Okay, right here.
What were you trying to do, swim to Catalina? I didn't realize I was out so far.
Oh, please.
All right, hey, I can handle it from here.
Why don't you go back to your tower? You'd just better dry off before you tarnish.
Was it Cory? It was, wasn't it? It was Cory.
Come on, guys, let's go, huh? The show's over.
Go back to doing what you were doing.
Go on and surf.
Yeah.
Are you all right? My leg, I got a cramp.
Really? Let's just get the blood circulating in there.
How's that? Feel better? Huh? Is it better? That's good.
Okay.
Yee-haw! Hey! Whoa! Trying to kill yourself? No, just hitching a ride.
Oh, yeah? What if some kid with a skateboard saw you and tried to follow your example? You're right.
Uh-huh.
I'm sorry, Ben.
Go ahead, hit me again with your cane.
I deserve it.
No, I should've kicked some sense into you years ago.
It's too bad that dory didn't hit me on the head.
I'd be fine.
You know, for 60 years, I've counted on my legs to run me wherever I wanted to go.
But ever since my accident, you know what I've discovered? No.
As long as what's in here is running, I can still get everywhere I want to go.
Yeah, Ben, but what if what's in here is broken? You got to mend it, boy.
Megan's working Abalone Cove today.
No hitchhiking, you.
Go on, get out of here.
Thanks, Ben.
God.
Hey! Feeling better? Thanks, yeah.
Um there's some weirdo up by the bathroom.
Really? Well, wait here.
I'll go Oh, no, he's gone now.
Um I have to get changed for work, and I was wondering if I could do it in your tower.
Uh no, I'm sorry.
Look, I'll tell you what.
I'Il-I'll walk you to the bathroom, make sure nothing happens, all right? I really don't want to go back up there, because well, it's really creepy.
I'll be fast, I promise.
All right, all right.
Make it snappy, all right? Thanks.
Come on.
Can you see all right in there? Actually, it's kind of dark in here.
Could you open the door a little? My zipper's stuck.
Listen, I, uh No, really.
See? All right.
There you go.
You can take it off me, if you want.
Change your clothes and get out.
You got 30 seconds.
But you saved me; you deserve to You're not a prize, and neither am I.
Yes, you are.
Hi, Rob, it's Megan.
Look, I'm going to have to cancel tonight.
I'll call you the beginning of next week, okay? I'm sorry.
Bye.
I've got a hang glider in Palos Verdes.
Better get a mobile unit up here ASAP.
Hey, lifeguard.
Let the man fly.
The wind shifts and he flies into the cliff.
He's on the thermal.
He'll be fine.
Come here.
Don't you remember when we used to hang glide from up there? I must have been crazy.
In love.
You'd go anywhere with me then.
Like I said, I was crazy.
Everybody can see us.
I don't care.
Well, what if Captain Phelps is looking through his binoculars.
So? We'll give him the thrill of his life.
I want to be with you.
I want to be with you for the rest of my life.
Yes.
Okay, all right, I got it.
Whoo! Get it! Spike it! Keep it up, come on.
Whoo! How you doing? I see the beach is in rare form today.
Yeah, it's a tough job.
What's going on? Rescue cards? On the shelf.
What the? She left it here.
I don't believe it.
Who? Girl I pulled out yesterday.
Of her bathing suit? Of the water.
Shall I read her rescue card or wait for the novel? All right, look She had to change her clothes.
There was a weirdo hanging out at the head, so I let her use the tower.
Will not happen again; you have my word.
Be careful, Beach Breath.
Especially on this beach.
Whoo, good one! Yeah, come on! Hi! Hi! Off the ramp.
Sorry, I guess I left my bathing suit in your tower.
Guess you did.
I don't understand.
- I don't know.
- I don't get it.
I got to check this.
Sorry, Jenna, but I want to find out all the sordid details.
Me, too.
No, wait.
You guys don't talk to her.
Guys, come back here! Hi.
Hi.
So, how'd he get your bathing suit? I left it in his tower last night.
I was so out of it.
Oh, from almost drowning? From the beer.
We must have chugged two six-packs.
Then we had to go skinny-dipping to sober up enough to You swam nude with him?! Sober up enough to what? Well, I can't tell you.
We're not friends.
Oh, she's full of it.
Let's go.
Shut up.
I'm Kris.
This is Joanie.
Come on, tell us everything.
That's how you become friends.
Now, what happened? We made it in his tower.
It was so romantic, with the moonlight and the waves.
Oh, my gosh! Oh I fell asleep in his arms, and he held me all night.
Oh Oh, my gosh! Get it! All right! Whoo! All right! Whoo! Say, Mitch, you got a minute? I'm just about to hit the beach.
What do you think? I think it'll make swimming a little difficult.
But the rest of your job a whole lot safer.
Day we carry one of these is the day we lose the public's trust.
Better to lose a little trust than your lives.
Come on, Mitch, it's not all fun in the sun out there anymore.
You got gangs, vagrants, drug dealers, and you're all running around unarmed in your underwear.
That's why we have the police.
And what if we can't get to you in time? You got your equipment, we got ours.
The only difference is, it's really hard to float a victim on a billy club.
Point made.
Thank you.
What's wrong? He's going to kill himself.
Who? Turner.
He's got that boogie board with Hobie right next to the jetty.
If he's not careful, he's going to pile his butt right into those rocks.
Hobie, come on.
Come on.
There's a big set, dude, mellow out.
Dad, did you see Turner? He practically jumped the rocks.
Yeah, I see him.
Don't you ever try that.
I'm not crazy, Dad.
Mitch! Better get a spatula ready.
Hang onto this for a minute.
Aw, come on.
Let me go, damn it! Let me go, Mitch! Damn it, everyone's watching.
Will you let me go? Just let me get you to your chair first.
Just drop me.
Damn it, drop me now! Hobie, give me my board.
What the hell are you trying to prove, anyway? What are you trying to prove, that you're still a hero? No.
Give me my board, Hobie.
I'm just trying to help.
Well, I don't need any help.
I don't need your help, Mitch.
I don't need it, I don't want it.
Get out of my way.
You don't need to be doing this kind of stuff.
How do you know what I need to do, huh? You think you know everything.
You shouldn't have done that, Dad.
He could have made it.
Maybe.
Maybe not! Caroline! Caroline! Come on.
I got to go, guys.
Bye-bye.
I had a great time.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
Are you Caroline's father? Yeah.
Who are you? A friend.
A friend, huh? Yeah.
I just thought you should know that Well, I don't know how to say this.
What? Well, I probably shouldn't say anything, but you are her father and she's so nice.
Just tell me.
Well, I just thought you should know that your daughter made it with that lifeguard in his tower last night.
What did you say? I'm sorry.
I probably shouldn't have told you.
Just forget I said anything.
Caroline! Get over here! Sorry.
Have you been waiting long? Shut up and get in the car! What's the matter? It's not even 5:00 yet.
Take a good look at the beach.
It's the last time you're going to see it.
What? I can't come to the beach anymore? Shut up.
Why not? Shut up, you hear me?! I heard all about you and your lifeguard.
Good night, guys.
See you in the morning.
Good night.
Eddie, come on.
You know how late we are? My dad already hates you.
I don't want to give him any reasons to justify it.
All right, all right, all right, I'm coming.
I hate these damn things.
Well, how do I look? You look like my trophy.
Oh, great.
Thanks.
Your trophy.
That's good.
Okay, I like that.
Listen I have an idea.
What do you say we get ahold of your parents and tell them we're going to meet them for dessert.
Please? No.
He'll disown me.
Sure I can't talk you into it? Mm-mm.
Huh? Uh-uh.
Um sorry to interrupt.
Hey, Garner, what's happening? Uh, Eddie, I need you to come with me for a little while, huh? Oh, no, no.
We are meeting my parents for dinner at the country club, and we are very late.
I'm sorry.
This can't wait.
Why? What's going on? Eddie, I'd rather talk about this in private.
No, wait a minute, Garner, what's this all about? I have to arrest you.
What?! What is this, some kind of joke? I wish it was.
Garner Look, Eddie, just please, just come with me.
No, I'm not going anywhere with you until you tell me what this is about.
Come on, what am I being arrested for? Section 161.
1 of the penal code.
And what is that? Statutory rape.
What?! Look, Eddie, I'm sorry.
A complaint's been sworn out.
I need you to come with me.
I'm not going anywhere with you, Garner.
This has to be a mistake.
Eddie, don't make this any worse than worse than it already is.
Or what? You're going to handcuff me, huh? I will if I have to.
Miss Warner, you better get him a lawyer.
We got to go, Eddie.
"Next week on" Baywatch: We've got a sworn statement from Caroline Larkin that you got her drunk and engaged in sexual relations with her in your lifeguard tower.
Eddie, did you know she's 15 years old? Yes.
Maybe you shouldn't waive your right to have an attorney present.
I don't need one, Garner; I didn't do anything.
You got to be suspended, pending the outcome of an investigation.
Come here! I never touched you, you know I never touched you! He'll be all right.
Where else is he going to go? All you want is to get your boyfriend off the hook.
You don't care about me.
You don't have to prove anything to me, Turner.
You don't need legs if you got wings.
Fly on a day like today, you'll think you died and went to heaven.
How could you let him go?! Hey, the dude's a pro.
The dude's out of his mind! You got more courage than any man I have ever met.
Will you just use it?!
