Couldn't have made it without ya! -Dad, what's up with that, you're a better roller-blader than any of us.
-I know that and you know that but they don't know that.
See ya! Thank you! -Gotta remember that one.
-Yeah me too.
-Men.
-Um, gotta go dad, see you at dinner.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa wait a minute, what about junior lifeguards? -Uh, we kinda decided not to do junior guards this summer.
-Who decided? -My dad gave us a place to rehearse.
-Yeah, we're gonna jam all summer.
- Well you're not.
- Yes I am.
- No you're not.
- Yes i-- -excuse me, could I have a little word with my son for a second? - Thank you.
- Be right over here.
-I can make my own decisions.
-Not decisions this important.
-What, you just get to make all the important decisions in my life and I just get to stand there, salute you, and follow orders, is that it? -Hobie, I'm not telling you don't play your music, I'm just saying don't give up everything else in life to do it.
-Mom said if I didn't want to do junior guards I didn't have to, and that if I want to be a musician I should go for it and give it my all.
-When? When did your mom say that? -Last week on the phone.
She said I didn't have to follow in your footsteps, and that I could do whatever I wanted with my life.
See you later.
Come on guys, let's go.
- Hey! - Hey! -Did you feel that earthquake this morning? -What earthquake? -It was a five point five, you didn't feel it? -CJ, I grew up here, I don't feel anything under a six.
-My entire bed almost collapsed.
Thank god there was no one under it.
-Mitch! Mitch, meet Riley Ferguson.
Riley, this is Mitch Buchannon.
-Mitch, how you doing? -Good, thanks.
-Riley's here with a team of geologists to install a seismometer in the mountain fault.
-Gotta make sure you don't have to become ocean lifeguards in Arizona.
-California falling into the ocean? -Well, let's hope not.
-Riley's specialty is deep sea diving.
-Really, hard hat or scuba? -Both, but if I had my choice, I'd free dive.
-Oh, I would love to learn how to free dive.
-It's the closest thing to living under the sea.
Makes you wish you had gills.
You ever tried, Mitch? -Oh yeah, but I actually started developing gills so I had to cut back.
-Uh, Mitch, I'm gonna be going out to the fault tomorrow with Riley and the geologists.
We'll be leaving around 3:00 am and I think I'll be back around noon.
Their permit requires a safety officer.
-And you volunteered.
-Yes.
Look, I'll need to go over the details of your dive plan.
So, maybe we could do dinner at my place.
-Great, but I gotta warn you I'm a vegetarian.
-Great, I make an incredible black bean salad.
-Black bean salad.
-Good to meet you.
Black bean salad.
-The five swimmers swimming away from the beach, swim parallel to shore.
Do not swim away from the beach.
-I want you all here bright and early Monday morning so we can start the water program.
The first thing we're gonna learn is cpr, and after a spending a day with all you guys, I'm sure I'm gonna be the one who needs it.
-Matt! Matt, I need backup! -You guys stay here, okay? -Multiple victims off tower six.
One way swimmers, we need scarab and other water-based support.
-Help! -Help! -Help! Help's coming, you'll be okay.
-Here, take my hand.
That's it.
You can make it, grab onto the stern.
Logan, get the male victim closest to you! The male victim, over there.
Damn! It's okay, I've got ya.
-Help! Climb on.
-You're all right, wait here.
I got her, let me take over.
-I've got her, do compressions.
-One, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four, five.
One, two, three, four, five.
You're okay.
John, get the oxygen.
You'll be okay ma'am.
You'll be okay.
Can I talk to you for a minute? -Sure.
-Come on.
-What the hell were you doing out there? -Um, let's see, saving lives.
-Oh, you call that saving lives? Nearly running one victim down so you could save another, who happens to be a female.
-Firstly, don't tell me how to do my job.
She needed help more than he did.
And secondly, I knew that me and my rubber ducky would get her on shore way before you.
-So you and your rubber ducky almost drown him in your wake.
-Oh, but I knew you'd rescue him, Matt.
You're a Los Angeles county lifeguard.
I only strive to be as good as you.
-You arrogant son of a-- -hey, hey, hey, that's enough! -Come on.
-You're on-duty lifeguards, now give your male hormones a rest and try and behave like professionals.
-I'm off-duty, and he's no professional.
-My Matey's just jealous.
I beat him to the rescue and the poor boy didn't get the hero worship he was after.
-Matt, go to my tower and fill out rescue cards, now.
- Okay.
- Bye.
-We don't compete to save lives here, Logan.
We work together as a team.
Now your hot dog tactics may have worked for you in Australia but they have no place on our beach.
-Are you as empowered a woman as you are a lifeguard? -Empowered enough to boot your little butt back down under.
Now take your little rubber ducky out slowly past the wave line and go patrol the other side of the pier.
- I'd wager you're not.
- Not what? -Not as tough to get along with, out of uniform.
-I don't care if he was a top lifeguard in Australia, I don't need to take his crap.
- Hey, Jackie.
- Hello, Mitch.
-Uh, don't tell me you came all the way back here to sweep.
-Well, force of habit I guess.
And I just want the place to look good for the new owners.
By Memorial Day I will be halfway home to Pittsburgh, towing my little trailer behind me.
-What about Summer? -Well she flew home.
I think, you know, breaking up with Matt and leaving the beach, that was about all she could handle.
Not a cross country trip, that's for sure.
But she's enrolling at penn state.
- Great, great.
- Yeah.
-When do you leave? -Tomorrow morning.
-If you want, I'll come by and help you hitch up the trailer.
-Mitch Buchannon, you are about the sweetest man I have ever met.
I think that's why all the women love you.
But, I think I just want to be alone tonight.
No, I'm gonna park overlooking the ocean, wake up to one last California sunrise, and get out of here before the big one hits.
-You know, Jackie, everybody around here is really gonna miss you.
-I'm gonna miss you guys.
-Stack your heads, stack your heads.
Stack your heads, stack your heads.
Okay, one more, one more, one more.
All right, let's go.
- Oh yeah! - All right, let's go! -Let me see 'em.
-No, dude.
Oh, thanks a lot, you knocked 'em out of my hand.
-You dropped 'em.
-Go get 'em.
-You go get 'em.
-I didn't drop 'em.
-Just go get 'em.
-Fine.
-Hey, some bum got our pictures.
-Yeah, he went under the pier.
Go get 'em back.
-From a bum? -You dropped 'em.
Hello? Anybody find some pictures on the beach? -This the snapshots you're looking for? -Yeah, that's me and my friends.
-Friends are a very important thing to have.
You know, pictures of friends are even better actually, 'cause you know that you got 'em and they're not always getting in your way.
My name's Garrett.
What's your name? -Hobie.
-Hobie, like the cat, or Hobie, like the surfboard? -Uh, the surfboard.
My dad used to have one.
He's real close by, so if I could have my pictures.
-Go ahead, press my elbow.
Press it right here.
-Thanks.
-Hey, next time you're in the neighborhood, stop by and say hi.
See that, that's my place right there.
The second box left of the central pillar.
We'll see you kid.
-All right, see ya.
Thanks a lot.
-I'm gonna miss this place.
-I'll be right back.
-Was this really necessary? -I just didn't want you to come walking in on Riley and me.
-Riley? Who's Riley? Do I know him? -No you don't, he's an oceanographer I'm going out with tomorrow.
-Then why is he here tonight? -I'm going out to the fault with him tomorrow to plant the seismometer.
We're going over the game plan tonight.
-If you're just going over a game plan tonight then why are you so worried about me walking in on you? -Because we're in that transitional mode that occurs spontaneously when two people discover they have a lot in common and their working relationship starts to develop into something else.
-Well if it's so spontaneous, then why do you need a post-it? -Look, it's spontaneous for him okay, so just come in, say hi nice to meet you and goodnight.
-Okay.
-Do not engage him in conversation, do not do anything distracting.
-Fine.
- Hi.
- Hey.
-Riley, this is CJ.
CJ, Riley.
-CJ, you must be Stephanie's roommate.
-It is so nice to meet you.
-Well it's nice to meet you.
-Oh, goodnight.
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.
So, where were we? -I believe we're on breathing techniques weren't we? -Oh yeah, for free diving.
And what was that pattern again? Two in and five out? -No, it's two in and four out.
-Oh.
-You ready? -Mm-hmm.
-Inhale.
-No, guys come on, this is not working.
-Our timing's all off.
-Hey don't look at me, Hobie keeps falling behind.
-That's because jb's playing behind the beat.
-You want a faster beat? -Earthquake! -Did the earth just move? -I think it did.
-Do you think anyone else felt it, or was it just us? -I have no idea.
-Excuse me.
I just came in to get a flashlight.
In case there's another quake.
Ignore me.
Keep dancing.
-Could you just excuse me for one moment? -Yeah.
-What are you doing? -Well in case there's another quake I'm not gonna go running out of here just wearing this.
-Oh, but you can go running out of here just wearing that in front of a total stranger? -Well he wouldn't be a total stranger if you would have been polite enough to introduce us properly.
-Me, polite? Do you think it's polite to walk in on us wearing a negligee? -This covers more than a bathing suit.
-It has a totally different connotation.
Don't be silly, you're being ridiculous.
-I'm sorry, I remembered the batteries in the flashlight were low and I didn't want her to get-- what now? I got it.
-Hi.
-Caroline.
Caroline, what's wrong? -Oh gosh, oh god this is a bad time.
You know what, I'll come back.
-Oh no, no.
I'll come back another time, it's okay.
-Caroline, what's going on? -Frank and I are getting a divorce.
- Oh.
- Oh, Caroline.
I hope you're okay.
I'm glad you came here.
-Hey look, it's getting late.
We gotta get a really early start.
Get some sleep.
-I'll try.
-I really enjoyed tonight.
-Me too.
-CJ, it was a pleasure meeting you.
Caroline, I hope things work out for ya.
-Thanks.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
Caroline-- -well he seemed really nice.
Who was he? -Caroline, look, what happened? -Frank cheated on me again.
But this time I had the guts to leave him.
So, I was kinda hoping I could stay here with you guys for a little while until I find a place of my own.
Is that okay? -Yeah.
-Okay.
-Let's do it one more time, this time do it like we're on mtv.
You were supposed to be home over an hour ago.
-You didn't have to come in there and drag me out.
-Look, if you had come home when you were supposed to I wouldn't have had to.
-Yeah sorry okay, we got into the music, I lost track of time.
-Well the music better be the only thing you're getting into.
-I'm not doing drugs if that's what you mean.
-Look, we gotta have a talk, okay? About music, about priorities, about a lot of things.
-I really don't want to talk right now, okay? -Hobie.
Hobie! Ah, puberty.
-Hey.
What time is it? -It's almost three in the morning.
Why don't you go sleep in my bed? -Mm-mm, no, I really like it here.
Hey, Steph, I was thinking, with Summer gone that I could get back into shape and re-qualify during the next recheck and take her place at Baywatch.
-Caroline, you haven't been a lifeguard since high school.
-I know, it's just those were the happiest times, Steph.
I just-- I really wanna be happy again.
-You will be.
I promise you will be.
-Man.
I've gotta get that on tape.
-Careful.
-Did you guys check over the seismometer? -It'll be online in a couple of seconds here.
-Those ultra low frequency radio waves are going right off the scale.
What do you make of that? -Could be a pre-temper vibration.
Remember Santa Cruz before the loma prieta quake? -So how's he doing down there? Everything in place? -Yeah, but we're getting some very unusual readings.
- Riley? - Yeah.
-Can you reposition that seismometer? Where do you need it? -Try getting it on bedrock.
- Oh my god! - What? -Riley! Get out of there! -No! No! -Oh my god! -Hobie! God.
Hobie? CJ! CJ! -Caroline! -Oh my god, what do I do, what do I do? - I'm stuck in here.
- Hang on.
-Help me! -Oh, god.
Everything's going to be okay.
-What was that? -That must have been an aftershock.
We gotta get to headquarters.
-Okay, hold onto the boat.
Hold onto the boat.
Just hold on okay? I'll be right back.
Hold on, Max, okay? I'm gonna get Tom.
-But don't leave me! -Help! Please, somebody help me! I'm stuck, please, help! Oh no.
-Max, hold him.
-I can't.
-Just do it, Max.
-Come on, guy, come on.
There you go.
What about Riley? -How close to the fault was he? -He was in it.
