"Next on" Baywatch: What the hell do you want? You owe me, and I'm here to collect.
This guy is real clever.
He knows how to stay one step ahead of the law without breaking it.
Stay out of my life! You're out of control, beach boy! That guy's after Hobie.
Mitch, you have got to keep your cool, man! Don't give him any more power than he already has.
This guy's going to slip up, pal, and when he does, I'm going to nail him.
"I think you're beginning" to sweat, beach boy.
Whoo! Cheers! Whoa, that wakes you up.
Yeah, cheers! Be careful.
Oh, my God! My leg! Come on, we'll go get help.
Hurry up! Hurry up! Get help, man! Hang on there! Do something! Hurry! Stop! Help! Stop! Sir, you've got to help us.
My friend's caught out on the jetty, and he's going to drown come on! We got an emergency at the jetty off Tower 18.
I need backup right away.
Hurry up! Okay, everybody wait back on the beach! Off the jetty, on the beach! Go! Help me! Hang on, partner, I'll get you out of there.
I'll get you out of there.
Newmie, hi! Girls, get back to the beach! Off the jetty.
We're going to get you out of here.
Okay, we got to move this boulder.
I think he's broken his leg.
All right.
Take it easy, we got heavy surf here.
All right, get over here, right here.
Let's get this boulder off of him.
All right, on three.
One, two, three.
Come on! One, two, three.
Come on! - Okay, one, two three.

All right, here we go.
Watch his head, watch his head.
Here we go, guys watch that leg.
Easy down.
All right.
Get him to the hospital.
You see that? You see what happened to your friend? That's a real good reason not to drink beer on the beach.
Besides that, you're all under age.
All right, show time's over.
Go on.
Everybody off the jetty.
You think he'll be okay? Yeah, he'll be all right.
He won't be doing any rock climbing for a while.
Come on, pal.
Bike path on the left up there.
Okay, 9:00 a.
m.
Tomorrow morning, right? Bye-bye.
Hey, you got a second? For you, anytime, anywhere.
I need a favor.
Will you teach me how to surf? Aren't you the one who used to call surfers macho cretins? That was before I moved in with one.
Aha, and now you've got a change of heart? Eddie is always saying that we only do what I like to do, so I just figured that it's time to shut him up.
" That's good.
Shauni, I'm a little rusty.
Mitch says you are the best longboarder he has ever seen.
Well, in my prime, I guess you could say I was right up there.
Just one lesson? Just for old times' sake? You've twisted my arm.
When can we do it? Tomorrow afternoon, 4:00, Dockweiler Beach.
Be there.
I shall.
Definitely.
What time's Kay coming over? or candy before dinner.
I won't, I wouldn't want to spoil my appetite.
Oh, give me a break.
You're always sneaking sweets before dinner.
- Give me that.
- Only when you're cooking.
Wait a minute.
You deliberately spoil your appetite when I cook? What difference does it make? Your food spoils it anyway.
Oh, funny, very funny.
I'll be right back.
I got to go get my fins.
Okeydoke.
Hey, beach boy.
Been a long time.
Not long enough.
Is that any way to greet an old friend? We're not friends, Sato, never were.
Well, maybe we can be, that is, if you have time for me, what with your hero's job and your son.
All right, what the hell do you want? What do I want? How about five years of my life back? Hey, man, you got yourself to blame for going to prison, not me.
That's just it.
I do blame you.
You owe me, and I'm here to collect.
Handsome boy.
Hobie - get in the car.
- Yeah, sure.
Go on.
See you around, beach boy.
How about some dessert? Yeah! Of course.
Okay, excuse me.
I'll be right back.
Why do you always talk with your mouth full? Sorry.
Can I tempt you? Maybe later.
Hello? I hope I'm not interrupting your cozy dinner, beach boy.
Aren't you going to answer it? Uh, it's a wrong number.
How do you know? No, sit down, sit down, just have some dessert.
I'll get it.
Excuse me.
What? This is the second time today that you've rejected my attempted friendship.
But your lady friend could be a whole lot friendlier.
Don't call here again.
If you do, I'll You'll what? Just "don't.
" You know, Kay, that dinner last night was so good that me and Dad want to treat you to something special.
"Rape de toro" burgers.
All right! Wait till you try it.
Martini.
Hi.
- Our table is ready.
- Okay.
Uh, I'll be right back, okay? Hey, beach boy.
My friend wants to buy me a drink.
Give him his check.
He's leaving.
I think you're beginning to sweat, beach boy.
You've been out in the sun too long.
You'd better cool off.
Beer.
Look, I don't know what you're after or what you're trying to prove, but you'd better back off.
You're still sweating.
I sweat in a rotten, stinking prison cell for five years, wanted to kill you for everything you did to me.
But don't worry, beach boy.
I don't want to kill you anymore; that'd be too easy.
You know you're sick.
I lost my business and everything I had because of you.
I bet you didn't know I had a wife and kid the operative word being "had.
" After your heroics, she left me, took my kid with her.
Said I wasn't fit to be a father.
Why are you blaming me for all this? It's not just you.
I blame my ex-wife, too.
What's left of her.
She was a beautiful woman, but she won't be working as a model anymore.
I introduced her to a blade, and you know what, beach boy? She just doesn't photograph the way she used to.
All right, now you listen to me.
You stay away from me, and you stay away from my son.
Dad, who was that guy? Oh, he's just a he's just a friend of mine.
Burgers here yet? Nope.
Does it look like it? Shauni! Hi! Whew! I am exhausted already from carrying this stuff.
What did you do, you buy out a local surf shop? Well, you know, I like to be prepared.
Sometimes it amazes me how this sport has changed.
Now, look at that surfboard so small you can hardly stand on it.
Do you know that my first board was a ten-foot plank that weighed Whoa.
Yeah, we didn't have any wetsuits.
We had the board and the wave.
That's all we needed.
I wish you'd have been there to see that, Shauni.
Heaven on earth.
Six years ago, I was working a tower in the marina.
Sato had a shipping company.
Yeah, I remember, it was a cover for his drug operation.
Right.
Well, I stumbled onto some evidence that would convict him.
He tried to buy me off.
When I refused, he lost it, he made a run for it.
He damn near killed a cop with his bare hands before I caught him.
Well, he's keeping his nose clean so far.
He's already registered with his parole officer.
He told me he slashed his wife's face.
Those were his words? Well, not exactly, but he implied it.
That's your interpretation.
Unless his wife files a complaint Why don't you track her down and talk to her? I mean, at least look at her face.
I will do what I can, Mitch.
Do you have any idea what this guy is capable of? As much as I'd like to, I can't arrest a man for what he's capable of.
Okay, one more ride, on your own this time, and that's it.
Junior lifeguards, meet here same time next week.
Have fun, be careful.
Good stuff, Hobe, I'll see you later.
You've gotten good since the last time I saw you.
When was that? Well, a long time ago.
I'm an old friend of your dad's.
Oh, yeah.
I saw you at the restaurant talking to my dad yesterday.
I'm going over to see him if you want to come.
Under one condition: Show me how to do one of those turns out in the water.
You mean a 360? Yeah.
Sure! Come on.
You got an extra board? Yeah, right over here.
Right there.
All right.
Hobie! I'm just going to teach dad's friend how to do a 360.
All right, I'll see you at headquarters.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Bye! Damn it, Garner, I don't have any proof, but I'm telling you, he was in my house, and he took that picture of Hobie.
What do you mean, "Take it easy"? I'm wound so tight here, I'm about ready to explode.
Yes.
Yes, I know that's exactly what he wants me to do.
Okay.
Okay, I'll sit tight until I hear something from you.
Hobie.
Hi.
What's your hurry? Hi.
Junior lifeguards just finished, and I want to make sure that Hobie's not waiting around, - you know, on his own.
- You don't have to worry.
I just saw him boogie-boarding - with that friend of yours.
- Who? The Asian guy that you were talking to at the restaurant yesterday.
That guy is after Hobie.
Hobie! Come on, Hobie, get out of the water! Come on! Hobie, come on! Get on shore! Dad, I was just trying to teach your friend how to boogie-board.
Go get on shore right now! You're out of control, beach boy! Mitch, cool it! Come on, cut it out! You took that photo! - He's not worth it, Mitch! - Stay out of my life! - Get off of him! - Stay away from my son! - Come on, Mitch! - You're both witnesses.
He hit me for no reason.
Let me go! Come on! Come on.
How many times have I told you not to talk to strangers, huh?! He said he was your friend.
He's not a friend! He's anything but a friend! I'm sorry.
You're all witnesses, you saw what happened.
He hit me for no reason.
I'm sorry, pal.
Some lifeguard.
I was hoping he was just trying to scare me, but I don't know anymore.
All I'm saying to you is just be real careful, will you? But if he broke into our house and cut up our pictures, why can't we get him arrested? Because we can't prove it.
There must be something that you can do, Mitch.
This guy is real clever, Kay.
He knows how to stay one step ahead of the law without breaking it or getting caught breaking it.
Hello? Yeah, Garner, how are you? Yeah.
Yeah, I did that.
What? Oh, come on! All right, all right, I'll be right there.
Kay? Would you mind hanging here with Hobie for a while? I got to go downtown.
Sure.
What did Garner have to say? Sato's pressing charges.
Hobester, I'm going to leave Kay here with you for a while.
You be good, huh? Okay.
Thanks.
How about us build a fire in the fireplace, huh? Sure.
Okay.
Beat this.
All right, so the queen beats the jack, that means five, you won.
I don't like this game anymore.
How about a dessert? Sure.
Okay.
Do you have any other games? Mousetrap.
Me and dad play it all the time.
All right, you'll probably beat me at that one, too.
I'm going to go upstairs and get it.
All right.
Hobie? Hobie? I think the three of us should spend some time together.
Mitch, they went easy on you because it was a first offense, but I gotta tell you as a friend, if you lose it again I know.
I know, okay?! He just pushed me too far.
And he knew exactly what he was doing, Mitch.
His wife left town without a trace.
Without her, don't have anything to get him on.
Anything yet! Mitch, you have got to keep your cool, man! Don't give him any more power than he already has.
This guy's going to slip up, pal, and when he does, I'm going to nail him.
I'm going to nail him permanently.
Yeah, why don't you go on inside.
We'll fill out Hobie? Kay? You know, there is one thing that your beach boy and I have in common.
Great taste in women.
Let the boy go, and I'll do anything you want.
I know you want to be alone with me, but that's going to have to wait till later.
Don't hurt her, or my dad will kill you I swear.
He's going to get that chance unless, of course, I kill him first.
It's going to be okay, Hobie.
Just hang on, we'll get out of here.
Mitch? Hobie? You okay? - Yeah.
- Dad! It's so good to see you.
This is for my son and everything you took from me.
Oh, Garner! You okay? Yes.
Yeah, but we got to find my dad.
You should have killed me when you had the chance.
No too easy.
Come on, we'll take it from here.
All right, let's go.
Hey! Are you all right? Are you all right? Yeah, I'm okay.
Dad.
Now everything's back to normal.
Dinner is served.
Please be seated.
This evening, I will be serving the Mitch Buchannon extravaganza.
Signorina.
Thank you.
Regazzo.
Buon appetito.
Dad, you really kicked out the jams on this dinner.
Nothing is even burnt.
Very funny.
It looks really delicious.
How did you do this? Well, I just dug up some old family recipes, went down to a little gourmet market, shopped till I dropped, slaved all day in the kitchen and "voila.
" All I can say is, what's for dessert? I have homemade chocolate mousse cheesecake in the refrigerator.
Are you kidding? Rivals your brownies.
What? Oh, Mr.
Buchannon, I'm so sorry to interrupt your beautiful dinner here, but you cannot serve my chicken marsala without the special sauce.
Ignore that man with the sauce.
Who is this guy? I'm no guy, I'm Vito catering your home.
You need to eato? Call the Vito.
- Oh, Mr.
Buchannon - What? About 30 minutes, and that cheesecake, she'll be profecto.
Slaved all day in the kitchen, huh, Dad? And you shopped till you dropped? Well, when you need to eato, you call Vito.
It's a beautiful thing.
