"Tonight, 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.
- Come here! - I never touched you.
You know I never touched you! You don't have to prove anything to me, Turner.
You don't need legs if you've got wings.
Fly on a day like today, you'll think you died and went to heaven.
Oh, my God! How could you let him go? The dude's a pro.
The dude's out of his mind! "Last week on" Baywatch: So, how long were they together? They were pretty hot and heavy for about a year or so.
Before his accident.
You guys going to get together? Mitch, he shut me out of his life when I wanted to be there for him.
He's got nothing to prove to me.
I'm just afraid he's here to prove something to himself.
bikinis, they only do what he says because he's cute.
You guys go to Pali? I'm transferring there in the fall.
Like we care.
"I know what they're" after, Eddie.
- Oh, yeah, what? - A trophy.
You can take it off me, if you want.
Change your clothes and get out.
You got 30 seconds.
We made it in his tower.
I just thought you should know that your daughter made it with that lifeguard in his tower last night.
I heard all about you and your lifeguard.
Come on, what am I being arrested for? Statutory rape.
What!? Hey, Shauni, come on in.
Hey, Shauni, want a piece of fruit? No thank you, Hobie.
What's wrong? Eddie just got arrested.
What happened? I don't know.
Garner said that a girl accused him of statutory rape.
Hobie I know what rape is, Dad.
Yeah, I know you do.
Just wait for me upstairs, will you? Okay.
I'm sure Eddie didn't do anything wrong.
Come on and sit down.
I can't believe this is happening.
Garner say anything about the girl who filed the complaint? No.
You know, yesterday, I found a girl's bathing suit in Eddie's tower.
He said she asked him to let her change in there the day before.
Somebody he pulled out of the water.
Was it a one-piece bathing suit, black and gray? Yeah.
The trophy hunter.
I knew it.
Is she underage? Is she a regular out there? A newcomer.
Probably wanted to get noticed.
Mitch, I warned him.
I told him what she was after, and he told me I was being jealous.
I knew it.
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.
She's lying, all right? I didn't touch her.
Why would she lie? She's bragging.
Lifeguards are trophies.
Eddie, did you know she's 15 years old? Yes.
Look, maybe you shouldn't waive your right to have an attorney present.
I don't need one, Garner.
I didn't do anything.
She swears you did.
Fine, then it's her word against mine.
That's right, the word of a street punk who was arrested twice as a juvenile for shoplifting and grand theft auto, violated probation The list goes on.
Well, it's an old list.
Yeah.
Right.
Thanks.
Eddie, Mitch and the guys have posted bail for you.
You're free to go.
You'll be arraigned within 48 hours, so don't make any vacation plans.
Eddie get a good lawyer.
Eddie, I just want you to know that, as far as everybody here is concerned, you were set up.
But? But according to departmental regulations, you got to be suspended pending the outcome of an investigation.
I don't believe this.
You know something, Mitch? If a stranger's out there drowning, everybody's on it.
If a guard needs help, backup comes from land, sea, and air, if he needs it.
But what if "he" really needs it, huh? I mean, what if he's the one that's really in trouble? Where's his backup, then? Nowhere.
You're on your own, pal.
Sink or swim.
Wow Thanks a lot, Mitch.
You know what to say? You say your story, that's all.
- Eddie? - Why? Why are you doing - this to me? - You stay away from my daughter! Tell him you're lying.
Tell him! - Take it easy, huh? - Mitch, she's lying.
I never touched her.
She's a liar.
You're the one who's lying.
- Come here.
- I never touched you.
You "know" I never touched you.
Ron, get him downstairs.
Tell him.
You're a liar.
I want him arrested for assault.
You threw the first punch.
No, I want him arrested! Calm down.
Come on, now.
Come in my office.
Did Mitch say how long you'd be suspended? Indefinitely, or until something goes better for me, which will never happen.
Nobody thinks you did it, Eddie.
You pulled your hand awfully quick when you found out what Garner said, huh? That was a reflex.
I'm sorry.
I wish I could take it back.
Yeah.
You know, something goes wrong, bust me.
Blame me for everything isn't that right, Shauni? Don't pull away from me, please.
What's the point, huh? Your old man is gonna stop you from seeing me as soon as he finds out.
I'm not going to let him.
Eddie, come on You don't get it, do you? You don't get it.
It's the story of my life.
I don't know who the hell's writing this damn thing, but it ain't gonna be a happy ending, so get out while you can.
Don't leave.
Eddie, where you going? Find someplace where I can breathe.
I'm at the end of my ramp.
Turner, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I'm not sure what you want.
What I want? How about a time machine? I wish I could make one for you.
You can.
Shall we arm wrestle? Megan.
You wouldn't see me, so I came to see you.
I thought you might be getting chilly, so I brought you - some tea.
- Thanks.
Rob, this is Eric Turner.
Eric, this is Rob Carlton.
Pleased to meet you.
Hope you brought Sweet & Low.
What? About three packs? Right? Actually, I take it plain now.
Amazing how things change.
Would you like some? It's chamomile.
No, thanks.
I'd better go.
Let me give you a hand.
Get your hands off me! Turner.
Mr.
Buchannon? Mr.
Buchannon? Dr.
Kinnon.
How's he doing? Well, he's stable.
In fact, he's strong, considering what he's undergone.
Can I see him? Sure, but I want to make you aware first.
I just told Eric his condition.
Which is? Fragments of bone have impinged his spinal cord.
He's paralyzed from the waist down.
What? Well what about rehabilitation and, you know, physical therapy? No.
I'm afraid that the paralysis is irreversible.
Come on, Doctor.
This guy's an athlete.
I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
Hey, Mitch.
It's good to see you.
Meg snuck this in to me.
Can't live without my music.
Great.
How you feeling? Like racing.
The doc says I won't be able to do it for a while.
Dr.
Kinnon? Yeah.
Well, he used the word "never," but, uh he doesn't know the heart of a lifeguard like we do, does he? No, he doesn't.
Right.
Hey, you'd better keep working out because I'm going to beat you.
Well it won't be the first time, will it? Who won the overall? Sorry to tell you this.
Zuma.
All right! Ah, Megan's downstairs and a whole bunch of other people.
They're all dying to see you.
Are you up to that? I mean can I bring them up? Yeah.
A victory party.
Let's do it.
Hey, Mitch Do me a favor, Mitch.
Get rid of that thing for me, will you? You got it.
It's out of here.
Shauni? What are you doing here? It's pretty late, isn't it? I'm just hoping Eddie shows up.
Take it easy.
Eddie's not the first lifeguard this has happened to.
I know.
I remember what happened to Craig.
It also happened to me.
Quite a few years ago.
What happened? It was summer, '63 Beach Boy music, little surfer girls running all over the place.
Anyway three girls made a bet on who was going to win my affection.
At the end of summer, they all claimed victory.
So, what did you do? I got them all together.
I confronted them, and the truth won out.
Like it always does.
So Eddie's gonna be all right, he's gonna get through it.
I know.
It just hurts that he wants to get through it by himself.
No.
He wants to get through it with you.
He just needs more time.
You really think so? I know so.
All right, you go on home.
'Cause if Eddie calls, or shows up here, I'm gonna hog-tie him, then I'm gonna call you.
Go on.
Thank you.
You're the best.
So, as soon as the wind switches onshore, - we're out there.
- All right! Take off from right over there - then we're gone.
- That sounds good.
Then we'll grab a surf after we eat if there's any waves.
Hey, guys, what's the problem.
Huh? How come you're sitting around on your butts? What, it's a little too blown out for you? Nah, it's not flyable in this wind.
Smash you right into the rocks, man.
Only if you give in to it.
Let me use your rig.
Bip.
Come on, I'll show you how to have the flight of your life, man.
Come on, it will be an adrenaline rush that will make you pop.
Sure.
Why not? Normal.
Fly on a day like today, you'll think you died and went to heaven.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, patch me through to Mitch, and hurry.
Those are odious winds, man.
What are you trying to prove? That you don't need legs if you got wings.
You sure you're ready for this? You bet.
All right, man.
Here we go.
Let's go! IAdios, amigos! How could you let him go? Hey, the dude's a pro.
The dude's out of his mind! Damn it! I need your glider.
Sure.
Is he okay? He's okay.
Hey.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey.
No luck, huh? I have been driving around all night, Mitch.
I'm worried about him.
You know how he gets.
Yeah.
Do you know where that girl works? Yeah.
She works at the boathouse restaurant on the pier.
I know you're worried about Eddie, but he'll be all right.
Where else is he going to go? Turner, look at me.
Look at me! No, you look at me! Nobody looks at me.
They look at me and they see something else.
They don't see who I am.
I'm just afraid of becoming what people see.
Well, I don't buy that.
You know what I see? That you're trying to prove something.
You don't have to prove anything to me, Turner.
Look, Meg when I came back, I didn't expect you to still be in love with me.
But then I saw you, and a- a-and all the memories started coming back.
Suddenly I felt like maybe things could be like they were.
When you got hurt all I could think about was you what could I do for you? I would have sacrificed everything to be there for you, but you totally shut me out.
I just didn't want to put you through my pain.
Don't you think that should have been my decision? No! It had to be mine! Like it's my decision to go back to San Diego tomorrow.
But the job, it will be good for you I can't handle the job, Meg! Yes, you can.
No, I can't! Don't do this to me! I'll still be here for you, Turner, anytime you need a friend.
And what if I need more than a friend? I don't know, Turner.
I just don't know.
Your move.
It's my buddy.
Well, I am your friend.
A real friend wouldn't have turned his back on me.
Eddie, people are looking for you, you know? They're worried.
Tell them you found me and I'm doing just fine.
You know, you must have been real good at track at school.
Yeah, what the hell's that supposed to mean? You're always running.
Mitch, I didn't deserve what happened to me, okay? Oh, give me a break.
Who deserves anything? You think Turner deserved what happened to him? At least you can run.
Well, I guess I'm lucky.
Lucky? You're blessed.
You've got someone in this world who really cares about you.
Don't blow it with her.
Hey, Mitch.
What? You know where she is? Yeah, she's headed towards the pier.
Caroline? My name's Shauni.
Your boss said you were out here.
You're Eddie's girlfriend.
You seen him? Not since yesterday.
Well, I think that you and I need to talk.
Well, look, my dad's going to be here any minute.
Well, that doesn't give us much time then, does it? Please, just leave me alone.
Caroline, look, I know how hard it is to be the new girl on the beach.
And, believe me, I know how important it is to be accepted.
Sooner or later, you're going to have to tell the truth.
Because the longer you put it off, the more people you're gonna hurt.
All you want is to get your boyfriend off the hook.
You don't care about me.
That's not true.
I do care.
Nobody does.
Caroline, come on My father thinks I'm a whore.
Listen, if you just tell the truth, then he won't.
Then everyone will know I'm nothing.
I'm nothing.
I'm nothing! Caroline, don't! Get off her! Leave her alone! Leave her alone! Stop it! Stop it! He's trying to save her life! Stop it! Your daughter just jumped off the pier! Why? Maybe because she couldn't lie anymore.
Give me your jacket.
I'm sorry I lied.
I didn't mean to get you in so much trouble.
I'm sorry.
I had no idea.
Mitch, you ever just want to get on a boat and sail away? You know, I should have let you drown.
I wouldn't have to listen to all this nonsense.
Oh, what? What, are you angry with me? Huh? You angry with me? You mad at me? Go ahead.
Hit me.
Hit me, go ahead! Hit me! No! 'Cause I know you won't hit me back 'cause I'm in this chair.
I'll knock you right on your ass.
What's the matter? You afraid that when I hit you, you won't be able to use your chair as an excuse anymore? Go ahead, man You think you know everything, don't you? Don't you? You say you love the water.
Then why don't you take this job, man?! Be a swim coach! Knock it off! Knock it off! Now, shut up and listen to me.
You've got an opportunity to inspire kids.
You can teach them, man.
You can teach them no obstacle is too big to overcome.
You can make a difference in their lives.
Turner, you've got more courage than any man I've ever met.
Will you just use it?! You you could always do this to me, couldn't you, Mitch? That's because I love you, man.
I love you like a brother.
Hey, Mitch? Yeah? I'm starting to feel pretty silly here.
People are looking at us.
Come on, I'll race you to the end of the pier.
Listen, what do you say we grab something to eat? Go down to the Palisades.
I'd love it.
Let's take a walk on the beach first and watch the sunset.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Can I come up? Please, just for a minute? Sure.
I just came to say good-bye.
I'm moving back to Ohio.
I hope you'll be happy there.
Me, too.
Eddie, I can't tell you how sorry I am about what I did to you.
I never meant for it to get so out of hand.
I really didn't.
Good luck in Ohio.
Do you forgive me? He does.
It's just hard to say.
Well, I can't blame you for hating me.
Well, thanks, you know, for not letting me drown.
Bye.
Caroline.
Look, I know that you you didn't mean for things to happen the way they did, but you didn't have to do something so stupid just to join a clique.
Hey nothing's worth killing yourself for.
You understand? My dad said that I can go see someone I guess a psychologist or something.
He'd come with me.
Good.
Well take care of yourself, all right? Tell Shauni she's lucky.
She said you were lucky.
I am.
I'm the one that's lucky.
