Baywatch (1989) s02e19 Episode Script

"Tonight on" Baywatch: From an admirer, I take it.
What's this all about, Ian? It's about love and romance and elegance, perfection.
I find you a little bit crazy.
"Somewhat deranged," but, no, not crazy.
Where is it? It's here somewhere.
Just keep digging.
Just hand over the box.
You tripped the damn alarm! Let's get out of here! Morning, Ian! Morning.
What? What's the matter? What are you looking at? Truth beauty the American dream.
Ah! Would you like a sardine? No, thank you.
My mother, she, uh, used to feed these to me every morning for breakfast, no less.
She wondered why I turned out this way.
All I wanted was a bowl of Wheaties, Ma! Hey, I read your poem last night.
You didn't like it, did you? I can tell.
Only you're too nice to let me know, so you're gonna tell me it was brilliant.
It was.
And, uh what makes you think I care what you think? What was your favorite part? The last verse, right? The day was moving westward Leaving colors in the sky.
The eastern black was chasing Holding colors that had died.
The day was racing quickly But could not outrun the night And I rode along the seashore to the caverns of delight.
You're a very talented writer.
Thanks to you.
Me?! What have I got to do with it? You have everything to do with it.
You're my inspiration, you're my ideal.
You're my muse.
Oh, Ian.
No, you really are every time I look at you, the words and the rhymes, the passion it just it flows through my soul, Shauni.
I have to get back to work.
Right.
And I'll be at my office.
Beggs.
Little buddy.
Where the hell have you been? Let go.
Where's the box? It's buried under that tower.
The place was crawling with cops.
I had to stash it somewhere.
I ought to kill you right here and now.
We'd be in Mexico by now, if you hadn't screwed up.
Just control yourself, Beggs.
Nobody knows it's there.
All we got to do is wait for the crowds to leave.
Be right back.
I lost it somewhere somewhere right about here I think.
We got problems.
So what do you think? God, I hope you can find it.
It's, like, my favorite necklace.
I've worn it every day.
Well, you'd be naked without it, right? Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey.
What is this, huh? What is this? Look at this.
Look at this.
Eureka! Back " By popular demand.
For you, my love.
Do you believe it? Thank you.
Thank you.
"Class meets" the day after tomorrow.
Hobie and I won't be back until then.
Mitch, I can do it.
No problem.
You're sure? It's my day off.
You sure you know how to teach windsurfing class? In my sleep.
Hey, listen, you got nothing to worry about.
Nothing at all, okay? Now, you go on and be a little Indian guide, and, uh, I'll take care of everything.
I promise.
All right.
Ben's got all the information where the class meets.
Would you get out of here already? Okay.
Hey, Ian.
Hi.
So, did you have a productive day? Well, I didn't get a whole lot of writing done, "but" I found myself a corkscrew found myself a, uh well, a half a watch anyway Pretty.
And $1.
27 in change in here.
And, um, well, I I made this for you.
Hey, that's not bad.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
That's very sweet of you, Ian.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Wow.
Just give me the board! Give it to me! Oh, boy.
Duty calls.

Okay.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! - Give it to me.
- Just wait a second.
Until tomorrow.
Where is it? It's here somewhere.
Just keep digging.
Brooke that storm off of Baja is still making some noise, So we're gonna have to move the towers back again, on all south-facing beaches.
Okay, I'll spread the word.
Thanks.
You're beautiful.
You sure you got the right tower? Maybe it wasn't number 12.
It was number Believe me, it's not something that i'd forget.
Well, then, maybe you never buried the jewels.
Maybe you ripped me off.
Would you be that stupid? Take it easy, Beggs.
Ah, such splendor.
From an admirer, I take it.
There's no card.
A secret admirer.
There's so many here, I can't even count them all.
There's, uh, there's 137 of them.
You sent these flowers? That's all the flower shop had left.
What's this all about, Ian? It's about love and romance and elegance.
Perfection and the sale of my first poem! You sold a poem? Yes! That's great.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I couldn't have done it without you.
See you.
Hey, Ben.
Harvey, what's all this this I been hearing about you teaching a class for Mitch? Well, he asked me to do him a favor.
What could I say? You could say that you don't know the first thing about windsurfing.
Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
Have you ever even been up on a board? It's been a while but i'm good with kids.
Oh, I'm sure.
Especially when they come from the Mayfield School for Girls.
Hey, I'm doing a favor for a friend.
Yeah.
Hi.
Hey.
You guys you guys like poetry? Listen to this, huh? This is beautiful.
"The sea can take a man's last breath "As well as guide him home.
I love the " We hate poetry.
Oh.
Well.
How much you want for that thing? Metal detector? It's not for sale.
Here's $50.
Well, that's a very generous offer, but Plus another $50.
You just bought yourself a metal detector.
Good metal detector, as a matter of fact.
Hey, hey! Hey! Half day today, huh? Split shift I'm gonna finish up at headquarters.
Ah! I was hoping you could read my new poem Yeah, great.
Here But I haven't finished it yet.
Okay, I'll read it tomorrow.
No, no, no, no, you see, it's a very nocturnal poem.
It must be read at night for maximum effect.
So, with that in mind, I was hoping maybe we could have dinner, uh, possibly go dancing.
Um Ian, I think you might have the wrong idea here.
I'm involved with somebody.
So bring him along.
I'm "very" involved with somebody.
We live together, and we're both very much in love.
Ah, but does he take you dancing? See, I love to dance, and I know you do, too.
And how do you know I love to dance? Because it's written all over you.
I can see it in your hair, and in your eyes and in your fingertips.
Whoa! Don't tell me Eddie got you all those not on a lifeguard's salary.
They're from a friend.
Hey, Newmie, do me a favor and keep them till you close up.
I'll pick them up tonight.
All right.
Hey, go and figure they'd move the tower in the middle of the night.
We're never gonna find those jewels.
They're gone, and why are they gone? Because you're a worthless fool.
I don't have to take this crap! The hell you don't! You guys, knock it off, man! We got a fight! Hey! Break it up.
Hey, get off of him! Hold it! Hi, Shauni.
Hey.
Eddie, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to T.
X.
With somebody tonight.
I tried to change, but nobody wants to work the graveyard shift.
What can I say? I'm stuck, you know? Especially with Mitch being on this camping trip.
I know.
I'm not blaming you.
I understand.
I just miss being with you.
I mean, I feel like every time I'm getting off work, you're coming on.
I feel like we're like two ships passing in the night.
I know, and I'm sorry.
Things are gonna be better, I promise, as soon as Mitch gets back.
Got to go.
I'm sorry.
I really am sorry.
I'll see you at home, okay? Things are going to change.
Trust me.
Welcome.
Welcome to what? To what? To the caverns of delight.
What did you do to yourself? I showered.
I shaved.
I cut my hair.
I put on my tux.
Why? Why? "Why?" I, uh, I thought you might find me irresistible.
I find you a little bit crazy.
Ah! Somewhat deranged, but, no, not crazy.
Here.
We're not allowed to drink on the beach, Ian.
Just a sip, that's all I ask.
Lan, listen To days of ease and nights of pleasure.
I can't do this, Ian.
Shauni, wait! Garner, I don't think this guy drowned.
You see the marks on his neck? Yeah, looked like somebody choked him to death with their bare hands.
Newmie, are you sure this is the guy you saw fighting at Tower 12? He was getting his butt kicked.
I had to pull the other guy off him.
Newmie, I need you to go with me to make a positive I.
D.
In the meantime, if I were you, I'd be careful out there.
Ladies, good afternoon.
Hi, gather around, listen up.
Hi, my name is Harvey, and I'm going to be instructing you in the finer points of windsurfing today.
But first, what I'd like you to do is write down your names and telephone numbers for me, if you would.
Um, strictly for safety reasons.
And then we'll get to the good stuff.
Okay, the thing to remember is, as with any sport, the toughest part is getting started.
But once you get the hang of it, it comes second nature It's real easy.
You just got to got to keep your balance.
This is pathetic.
I'm gonna tell the dean not to use lifeguards again.
This guy doesn't have a clue.
That's for sure.
But it's a lot of fun once you get it once This is ridiculous.
Let's go, girls.
Let's go.
Uh, girls I was, uh, I was just showing you the worst-case scenario, you know? I mean, I'm really good at this.
No, you're not, Harvey.
But I am or was.
Now, girls, would you come back here? I'd like to talk to you, just for a minute.
Girls Thank you very much.
I'm Lieutenant Edwards.
Now, if you all would like to stick around here this afternoon, I'd like very much to show you a couple of things about windsurfing.
On the up-and-up okay? Yeah.
Good.
I understand if you don't want to talk to me again.
I feel like, uh I don't know what I feel like.
I've never felt this way before.
I'm sorry, Shauni.
I had no right to impose my fantasies on you.
I crossed the line.
I'd have done the same thing, if I were you.
"Get the hell away from this lunatic! He's out of his mind!" Look, I just came back here to tell you that I'm back in my mind, and I apologize if I embarrassed you or caused you any hurt.
Come here.
Let's put this in your lapel.
Thanks.
Are you sure you don't find me just a little bit irresistible? I miss the starving poet.
Yeah.
So do I.
So, how'd you pay for all this, anyway? Ah, what does it matter? Like the song says, "Money can't buy you love," but it was sure worth a try.
I'm going to miss you, Shauni.
You'll always be my inspiration.
Eww.
Yeah, he's bizarre.
Lan? Is that you? Unfortunately.
I almost didn't recognize you.
Uh found this in the trash.
Don't you want it no more? No, Joe, it's a part of my past now.
Why don't you keep it? Who knows? Maybe you'll find your dreams with it.
Why didn't you tell me about the roses? For one thing, I haven't seen you.
Shauni, come on.
Look, if it bothers you that much, - I'll throw them away, okay? - No, I don't want you to throw them away I happen to like roses.
I just want to know who they're from.
His name is Ian.
He's a poet.
A poet.
He writes on the beach.
He's very good.
He's been giving me his poems to read.
Sounds like a real sensitive guy.
Look, Eddie, there is no reason to feel threatened.
He sold his first poem, I'm not threatened.
And he got a little carried away.
I ran a check on your man's fingerprints.
They turned up all over a motorcycle that was used in a burglary night before last.
Are you talking about that job up in Malibu? What was stolen? Half a million dollars' worth of jewelry.
Do you know what kind of jewelry it was? I mean, do you think it would register in a metal detector? It was all kept in an antique silver box, so I imagine that would register, yeah.
Hi.
Oh, God, Ian, you scared me half to death.
I'm sorry; I thought it might have been whoever did this.
Why didn't you tell me that you found these jewels? Why didn't you call the cops? Because I started believing in my own dreams, and I think you did, too.
Last night, I had this feeling, deep down.
I don't know where it came from, but I know you felt it.
I'm calling the police.
Yeah, this is Shauni McLain.
I'd like to speak to Garner, please.
Well, do you know where the jewels are? Do you have them? Are they gone? I had a feeling they might be coming back, - so I hid them.
- Where? Outside.
Garner, it's Shauni; I found Ian.
It's over here.
Takes your breath away, doesn't it? No heroics, please.
Just hand over the box.
Thank you.
Now get inside.
I'm okay.
I'm okay.
Go on, get that son of a Hey.
What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be on patrol.
Ben relieved me.
Said I looked like I could use a day off.
What you got there? It's just something somebody made for me.
I like it; it's cool.
It's no big deal.
Uh-huh.
From Ian? Was that why you went looking for him? I didn't want him to get hurt.
Shauni, I know guys hit on you all the time and I know you know how to deal with it better than I do, as a matter of fact.
This isn't going to bother me, as long as you can look me in the eye and tell me you love me.
You do that, I'm fine.
I love you.
So what do you want to do tonight? How about a play, hmm? How about a movie? Better yet, let's go dancing.
When was the last time you were out on a dance floor? What do you say we just turn in early? I can live with that.
