It's like a launching pad.
I felt like I was on a hang glider.
-Cool.
-You all packed? -Yeah, my stuff's in Landon's Van.
His parents are waiting for me.
I just came to say see ya.
-You got body boards? -Yeah, one for tricks and one for speed.
-I wish I was going with you.
-Yeah, I wish you were too.
We're gonna get the big ol' trophy, and all the a&w we can drink for a year.
-You better win, 'cause I love that cream soda.
-All right, I'll do it just for you.
-Okay, you call me when you get to Santa Barbara, huh? -All right, I will.
I love you.
-Love you, too.
Good luck.
Hey bring me back one of those t-shirts, huh? -All right.
I will.
-Hey, you sure this is the place? -Yeah, I once passed it with Mitch.
He said that he and his brother used to surf here to settle things.
-How's that? -First one who wipes out on the rocks, loses.
-So what about leashes? -We don't use them.
-Hey, Matt, you know how much this board costs? -Hey, you want to forfeit? -Okay, so, closest to the rock without wiping out wins.
Is that right? Loser lays off Summer? -And if we both wipe out, we both lay off Summer.
-Okay, so what if neither of us wipes out? -We'll have to find something else.
-Summer, come on, hop in.
-I need to work out.
-You've worked out long enough.
-I just have 200 more calories to burn.
-You're thin, Summer.
You're thin.
Now will you stop worrying about it.
And get in the truck, now! Did you have breakfast this morning? -Yes.
-Did you binge and purge? -No.
Look, CJ, if we're not gonna drive, I'll just run, okay? -Did you go to that clinic I told you about? -Look, CJ, for the last time, I do not have an eating disorder, okay? You just don't know the kind of pressure that Matt and Slade have been putting on me.
-Oh, I know all about the kind of pressure that men put us under.
Believe me, and that is not the problem.
-Oh, yeah? Then what is? -You're bulimic.
-I am not bulimic.
-And you're in denial.
-Oh.
-Summer, wake up.
There are people that can help you.
You could die from this.
-Have you seen my board? -No.
-Pieces of it? -Nope.
-Where'd it go? -Mitch.
-Yeah.
-Can I talk to you? -Sure, what's up? -I'm worried about Summer.
She has all the classic signs of bulimia, and I'm afraid that's gonna affect her ability to life guard.
-CJ, she seems fine to me.
I haven't noticed anything.
-Well people with eating disorders are masters at hiding it.
It saps your strength.
She could pass out during a rescue.
-Can't pull her off duty just because you're suspicious.
-Mitch, I know about these things.
I've gone through it.
I went through a year of hell binging and purging.
It's like being an alcoholic but with food.
-I'm sorry, CJ.
I never knew.
-Well it's not something I go around telling people.
But I got help, and I think that's what Summer needs too.
Do you think you could talk to her? -Absolutely.
-Oh, and do you think you can talk to Matt and Slade, too? They're putting a lot of pressure on Summer.
-Okay.
Hey, guys, how was surfing this morning? -Mitch, you won't believe it.
We surfed white water cove.
-Yeah and Matt wiped out.
-My board disappeared.
I mean, it hit the rocks, and it was gone.
-Happens out there.
-How? -What do you think happened to it? -I don't know.
There's some sort of undercurrent, pulls the boards down into some kind of cave.
Old time surfers call it the surfboard burial ground.
-You ever gone in it? -No, I haven't.
You gotta free dive to get in there, but Ben went in there once.
Said he found one of Duke kahanamoku's old long boards.
-Whoa.
-Listen, that's not why I came.
I want to talk to you guys about Summer.
-She's the fastest mini jet boat there is.
-Is it traceable? -No, you got the cash? -Don't worry.
It's all there.
-Lady, you just bought yourself a boat.
-So I'm counting on you guys not to pressure Summer.
Are we clear? -Mitch, Slade and I worked things out.
I'm gonna back off.
-She needs her space.
You back off, too, all right? -Okay.
-Okay guys, thanks a lot.
-See ya later.
-So what do you think we should do? -Right now? I want to go find that cave and check it out.
-Yeah, I want to find my surf board.
But there's no time today.
We'll have to dive and find the cave tomorrow.
-All right.
-Attention, prisoners.
Visiting hours for cell block c will start in five minutes.
Visiting hours for cell block c will start in five minutes.
-Ma'am, watch your step.
-Sergent Nelson to the inmate processing center sergent Nelson to the inmate processing center.
-No touching.
-Brady, don't.
Please, they'll put you back in solitary.
-Five minutes.
-I couldn't wait another six months not seeing you.
-Did you get the boat? -It's the kind of boat we always dreamed about.
It's so fast, it's like you're flying over the water.
Last night I dreamt I was in it.
You were swimming toward me, and the sun was rising behind you.
You were free, Brady.
We were racing off together.
-You dream that same dream tonight.
-I will.
-So will I.
-Here you go.
Okay, enjoy.
-Hi honey.
-Hi mom.
-Can I get you something to eat? -Um no, I'll just have a glass of water, thanks.
-Oh, come on, now.
You gotta have something to eat.
Let me make you a sandwich.
How about today's special huh? A tuna melt.
-Mom, I don't want anything to eat, okay? Just water.
-Okay, okay.
One glass of water coming up.
-Thank you.
-All right, come here, daughter.
Sit down.
I want to talk with you.
So fill me in, huh? How goes the saga of Matthew and Slade? What are the latest highlights? -None, and there's not gonna be any tomorrow or the next day.
So just stop asking all right? -Honey, you're being silly.
Avoiding both of them isn't going to make you feel any better.
Sweetie, you're gonna have to resolve this, one way or another.
-How? And if I choose one, then I'm gonna just ruin all of our friendships.
-All right then, don't choose.
Spend time with both of them, be friends, you know? Do things together, have fun, and just let natural selection take over.
-Natural selection.
-Yeah.
Sweetie the more time the three of you spend together, it's going to become apparent to all of you which two were meant to be together.
-Yeah, which is probably gonna end up being Matt and Slade.
Then they're both just gonna dump me.
-Well maybe But, sweetie, at least it will be resolved, okay? I'll be right back.
-Summer, can we talk about something? -Not now Matt.
-Lieutenant alterman, come to the property room.
Lieutenant alterman, please come to the property room.
Sergent Mason, you're needed at the front window.
Sergent Mason to the front window, please.

-He's in the water.
-There he is.
-Don't let him get away.
-Open fire.
-Brady! Come on, baby.
You're out.
Come on, hang on.
Come on, Brady.
We're together.
We're together.
Come on.
-One of the prison guards is sure he wounded the escapee so they may not have gotten far.
-Who are these characters? -Debra Harris and Brady nickels.
Have your life guards be on the lookout for them.
-What's their story? -Well she conned rich men.
Once they brought her home, she'd pinpoint their valuables, he'd come in and Rob them.
A couple of their marks ended up dead.
-So who did 'em in, him or her? -Well, he took the fall for it, but a lot of people think she was the real killer.
-Listen, Summer, we need to talk.
-Matt.
-This morning, Slade and I worked things out.
We-- -oh don't even tell me.
I don't want to know.
Listen, Matt, I just want us to be friends again.
All of us.
I want to go and do things together.
You know, have fun the way we used to.
Let's just go back to way things were when we all first met, please? -Hey, that's okay with me.
Really, it is.
I just never want to lose your friendship.
-Thank you, Matt.
I don't ever want to lose yours either.
I'm gonna talk to Slade and then maybe we can all go out and do something fun.
-Well, why don't you come with us tomorrow morning.
-Where? -We're going to the surf board burial grounds.
-Where? -Just come with us.
You'll see.
-That's good.
Right there.
-Ow.
-Hang on, Brady.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I gotta get you to a doctor.
-No, I'd rather die than go back to that prison.
-If you die, I don't want to live.
I won't live without you anymore, Brady.
I won't do it.
-Why isn't this boat moving? Why aren't we out to sea yet? -I told the captain to stay here until I got -- -oh -- -come on, baby.
You gotta hang on.
I'm gonna get someone who can help you.
Someone who can get that bullet out, all right? Come on.
You gotta hang on.
-Two wave runners in two days.
It's not gonna look good on the budget report.
Ah, I got it.
I'll get Stephanie to sign it.
Oh, purchase order.
Hey! What the hell are you doing here? -Get on the boat.
Now, move.
Now stop.
Right there.
Stop.
Put everything down.
Move! Help him.
-Put the gun down first.
-This isn't a negotiation.
If he dies so do you.
-If I die, so will he.
-Don't play games with me.
I know what your job requires, and you have to do the right thing no matter what the situation.
So stop wasting time and save his life, and your own.
-You know, there will be people looking for me.
-Well, you just let me worry about that.
Help him.
He's dying.
What is this? A bullet wound? -Yeah.
-How long ago? -Almost three hours ago.
-He's lost a lot of blood.
You gotta get him to a hospital.
-That's not an option.
-I'm not a surgeon.
-If you have that equipment, you know how to use it.
So use it.
Use it now.
-You're trying to tell me that you expect me to pull a bullet out of this guy out at sea? -Don't you dare underestimate how important his life is to me, and how unimportant yours is.
Help him, or I swear it, I'll kill you.
-Just take it easy, huh? I got a son.
His name is Hobie.
He's 12 years old.
-Well we have a son named Seth, and he's five years old, and his father's dying.
Help him.
-Summer are you sure you're all right? -Yeah I'm fine.
I'm with my two best friends.
What could be wrong? -I don't know.
You just look a little pale, that's all.
Maybe you better stay here.
-Oh, no, I'm gonna be all right once I hit the water.
It'll revive me.
-Just trying to look out for my friend, that's all.
-Slade, thanks for agreeing to do this.
-Are you ready? -Yeah, let's do it.
-All right.
Get ready.
One, two-- Wow.
-Wow.
Look at this place.
There's my board.
Where's the other one? Whoa! -What was that all about? Check it out.
This board must be 30 years old.
-You guys, I hope we can make it out of here.
This current is really strong.
-This looks like an old '50's long board.
-What was that? I felt something touch my leg.
-It's just seaweed.
-No, it felt like -- -Summer! Hey, let's get Summer out of here.
-You all right? -I'm not gonna make it.
-Yes you can.
You can make it, come on.
We'll do it together.
Hold your breath for 20 seconds.
One, two -- -Matt! -Get out, now! -Matt! Matt! Matt! Matt! No, I've got to go back in and help him! Help him! -No, you're too weak.
I gotta stay with you.
-No, I don't care! Go! Please! Go, please! I love you.
I love you so much.
-I'm here.
It's okay.
-You want your boyfriend to live, you better tell the captain to stop the ship.
-Drop anchor.
Do it.
-Now? Yes, ma'am.
-Okay, I'm gonna need your help here.
I need your help.
Grab some gauze.
Put it on the wound.
Come on, hold it tight.
All right.
I need both hands.
Come on, I need both hands.
Grab the sodium chloride.
It's in that bottle right there.
-Come on, Slade.
Don't go to Hawaii man.
Stay here.
-Nah, you two belong together.
I'm just gonna go hang out on the north shore for the winter.
You should come visit.
-We're gonna miss you.
-You guys take care of each other.
-We will.
See you later.
-All right.
-I love this beach so much.
Look at this.
What's so funny? -Oh, just thinking about almost being that octopus' dinner has made me look at food in such a different way.
-In what way? -I don't know, just different.
It's not something to fill up on when you're feeling empty.
Matt There's somewhere I'd like you to go with me tomorrow.
-Sure, where? -Just this place that CJ suggested: An eating disorders clinic, but it would really mean a lot to me if you were there.
-Then that's where I'll be.
-Scissors.
What, are you gonna shoot me now? -Were you gonna stab me with those scissors? -No, I'm in the business of saving lives, not taking them.
-Don't tell me you weren't thinking about it.
-You mean fighting for my own life? Yeah, that thought's crossed my mind.
-You want to live? Then don't try anything heroic.
-You want him to live? -Oh, he'd better live.
-He better get to a hospital.
-And go back to prison? No.
He's a free spirit.
He can't be caged.
-How'd you get involved in all this, anyway? -He rescued me.
-From what? -From a dull boring life.
- There are a lot of other ways of feeling alive than being a criminal.
-Yeah, I'm sure there are.
But it's little to late to try to go back and find them now isn't it? -No, it's never too late.
-Once you pass that point, there's no going back.
-Have we? -Have we what? -Passed that point.
-I don't know, maybe.
Maybe not.
