I'm sure you'll find the stuff this creep stole from me.
-I didn't steal anything from you, Jake.
-Just save it, Cort.
This is the end of the line.
I win.
-Nada.
-What do you mean, nothing? Where are they, Cort? -I don't know what you're talking about.
-The hell you don't.
That's enough.
I want both of you out of here, now.
You gringos can settle this across the border, and I'm gonna take you there myself, to be sure.
You follow us in the Jeep, and you, get in my Jeep now.
Vamanos! -Hey, hey, hey, hey! You break it, it's yours! -When we're done with our run, I'm gonna take a swim out around the far buoy.
You up for that? -Yeah, of course.
-Great.
-The more workouts the better, actually, 'cause I'm a little bit worried about the rookie test.
-Ah, don't be.
I'll be just fine.
-I wasn't worried about you, Logan.
I was worried about me.
-What do you have to be worried about? Your sister is a lieutenant.
You're in like Flynn.
-Whoa, whoa, wait a second.
Stephanie does not work that way, Logan.
I have to qualify like everybody else.
-You know, it's ridiculous that I have to qualify.
I've been guarding in Australia for years.
-Yeah, but not here.
It's the rules.
-Stick around up here, okay? -Hey, John, get me Zoe on the line, will ya? -Oh! Let's go.
-Cort.
I'll be right back.
-Yeah, I gotta go.
See you later.
-All right.
Bye-bye.
Woo-hoo! Look at you! -Mitchell, buddy! It's great to see you.
-Not as great as it is that you can still me.
-Ah, you know, as long as you're standing right in front of me, about, about like this.
-Yeah.
For a minute there, I thought you were blind.
-Yeah, well, my eyesight hasn't deteriorated since my last rp checkup, which means I haven't lost any more of my peripheral vision.
Of course, I still miss a lot of handshakes.
-And binoculars.
-So what brings you back here? Wait a minute.
I know that look in your eye.
You get that look in your eye right before-- -right before we have the time of our lives.
-Yeah, right, right.
Put those glasses back on.
The doctor said you're supposed to wear them.
-All right, all right.
-Put them on.
-Now, come on.
I want to tell you what we're gonna do.
-Oh, dammit! -What is it? Logan, what's wrong? -It's a cramp.
It's okay, I'll work it out.
You go ahead.
-No, I'm not gonna leave you here alone! -Your heart rate is gonna slow down, Caroline.
You need the work out.
You said so yourself.
-But-- okay, I mean, if you're sure you're gonna be all right.
-I'm sure.
Go ahead, hun.
I'll see you back in headquarters.
Ahh! -Good morning.
Excuse me! Hi! -Can I help you? -Well, that all depends.
-On what? -On what you can tell me about a certain beautiful woman.
-And what woman might that be? -The lady in white.
-Kathleen huntington? -Yeah.
What can you tell me about Kathleen huntington? -She's a rich, bored widow.
What else do you want to know? -Nothing else.
That's more than enough.
-Sorry to hear about you and Gail.
I know how painful it must have been for you.
-We almost got married again.
But I survived that, and an earthquake.
-Well, you've been through a lot.
What you need is a diversion.
You know, something to take your mind off it all.
-Yeah, why don't you cut to the chase? -That's a great choice of words, Mitch.
I want to head to the Baja run dune buggy race, and I want you to go with me.
- The Baja? -Yeah.
-The most competitive race there is, with your vision.
That's beautiful.
-That's why I need you, Mitch.
You're a great driver.
You've done this race.
You know the course.
-That's a long time ago.
-Mitch, I need your help.
I mean, I can still-- I can still drive and all.
I scan like crazy from side to side, but , for this race, I could use another pair of eyes.
-You're broke.
-Of course I'm broke, why? -And this is another one of your money-making schemes.
-No, no, no, no.
This race doesn't have any prize money.
It's just for a trophy, you know that.
It's pure ego.
-Come on, Mitch.
We've always wanted to do this race, just you and me, just kicking up dust from here to Baja, bam, right across the border.
We can Ace this.
-You don't have a mechanic, and you don't have a car.
-I have a mechanic and a car, and they're both waiting for us down in Baja.
-Ahhh.
Well, I'm sorry, pal, but, you know, I've got a son, and I've gotta babysit Hob--.
- I just talked to Garner.
He's taking him camping this weekend.
Come on, what do you say? -I say you're crazy.
-Huh! -And I say I'm crazy for what I'm about to say.
When do we leave? -Yes! Oh, first thing tomorrow! Mitch, old buddy, you're not gonna regret this.
-I better not, old buddy.
Now, put those glasses back on.
-All right, all right.
-I thought you would support me! -Oh, come back here! I hate you! I feel so betrayed! I can't believe you did that! I can't believe you sold my script and your name on it! I feel so betrayed! I'm gonna kill you! How could you do that? -Stop! Come on! -I'm gonna give you everything you've got! -All right.
Knock it off.
Knock it off! All right, come on! Knock it off! Come on! Come on! Take it easy.
Come on.
Come on.
All right.
What's going on? -He sold my script and put his name on it.
I'll kill him! -I did not put my name on your script! She's crazy! Don't ever get mad! -Ahh.
Okay.
-Are you calm? -Yes.
-All right.
I'm gonna put you down now.
Okay, take it easy.
-Fine.
Fine.
-Hey, hey, hey, hey! This is not the place to have this argument.
Not in the ocean or on the beach.
-Yeah.
-Take this home, huh? -No, the lawyer's office! Ugh! -You all right? -See you in court! -Oh, you bet you will! -Glad we don't have those kind of problems, huh? Have a good day.
-You look wonderful.
-I didn't know I thought-- I didn't know if-- -what, you think I'd go blind and miss out on all your beauty? -Well, you don't look so bad yourself.
How long you in town for? -Until tomorrow.
Mitch and I are entered in the dune buggy race in Baja.
-Tomorrow? -Yeah.
-Can you see well enough for that? -Well enough.
Just have to keep moving my head constantly.
But all in all, it's a pretty good system.
-But a race? -That's why Mitch is going with me.
I'll be fine, CJ, really.
Listen, uh, I gotta go.
There's a lot of stuff we have to do before we leave.
-Well, I guess you didn't come to see me then.
-CJ, there are just some other things I have to take care of this time.
-Yeah, but not me.
-CJ.
-John, do me a favor.
Don't give me a passionate kiss unless you have the time or the inclination to carry it through.
-I'll see you later.
-Okay, see ya! I didn't say-- -hi, Matt.
-Hi, Caroline.
-I'll pick you up at seven, okay? Be ready.
Bye.
- What do you see in that jerk? -We're just friends, Matt.
-Well, uh, he must be a better friend than me because you obviously forgot that we had dinner plans tonight.
-Oh god.
Matt, wait a second.
I'm sorry.
Look, I feel terrible.
I did forget.
Maybe we could do it another time.
-Sure.
We'll do it another time.
-Oh, yeah! -Whose boards? -Ours, just in case we run into a few waves on the way back.
-Sounds good.
-Excuse me, where do you think you're going? In, in, in! -Okay, you can drive, you can drive.
Hope you know how to drive a stick.
-On the road again? -Oh, yeah.
-Hey! How are you doing? Oh, well, that's life.
-Help! Help! Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! -Don't worry.
You're okay.
Everything's fine.
-Okay, I'll put you down.
Okay.
Are you okay? -I've never been so frightened.
Thank you.
You saved my life.
-I'm just sorry he got away.
Damn.
-I'm Kathleen huntington.
-Logan Fowler.
Let me help you back to your place.
-I'm fine, really.
You've done enough.
I-- I live right up the beach.
-No, I insist.
I'm a lifeguard and I'm gonna get you back to your place safe and sound, and then make out an incident report, okay? -Okay.
Okay.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Did you have a good time last night? -Yeah.
Yeah, I did.
Oh, god, this is really difficult.
Um, Matt, I feel really bad that I just completely forgot about our date.
I mean, I just don't do things like that so I figured that there must be a reason why.
It's just-- it's like my head is someplace else.
-You mean, with Logan? -I don't know.
For me, he's.
-Look, Caroline, if you're trying to tell me that you don't want to see me anymore, there's gotta be an easier way, don't you think? -I'm really sorry.
Look, please don't take this personally.
-No.
Now, why should I take your picking another guy over me personally, Caroline? I just hope you see through him before he hurts you.
-You know, he's really not that bad, Matt, if you gave him a chance.
And he happens to be a really good lifeguard.
I think we could both learn something from him.
-Yeah.
He's a great lifeguard, all right.
Maybe the best.
-Steph! Stephanie, wait up! -Hey! Perfect timing.
-Oh, no, not really perfect.
I was actually waiting for you to get off-duty.
I wanted to talk to you about something.
-Could this have anything to do with men? -Oh, well, not entirely.
Only about 98%.
Um, well, I just made a decision, that's all.
Matt is a really great guy, but when I'm with Logan, he's just so much fun.
So I'm not gonna see Matt anymore.
I'm gonna concentrate entirely on my relationship with Logan.
-Caroline, you can't base a relationship just on fun, you know.
-Yeah, I know that.
It's just that Matt is so serious all the time.
-You mean, mature? -Steph, I actually think that you're prejudiced because you like Matt better.
That is completely ridiculous.
That's exactly what mom used to do.
She used to force us to like who and what she liked.
-This issue is crowded enough already without you dragging mom into it.
Matt is just a better guy for you.
-Yeah, like you would know.
-What's that supposed to mean? -Well, you're not exactly a shining example, Steph.
Tell me, how does a girl let a great guy like Mitch get away and end up with a loser husband like you did? -Hey, man, check it out! Woo-hoo! -Woo-hoo! -Big al! Hey, big al! How's it going? -It's doing.
Mitch, al.
-How are you doing? -Great to meet you.
-Oh, man, she's looking great.
-I just tuned the carburetor, and she is running smooth as silk.
-She's a beaut.
-You guys are ready.
-I knew you'd be back.
Did you forget something? -Yeah, this! -Hey, hey, hey! -Knock it off! -It's all right, Mitch.
It's okay.
-You've got something of mine, and I want it back! -I don't have anything of yours, Jake.
-Knock it off! Knock it off! -You're a cheat and a thief! You're not gonna get away with this, Cort! -Let's go, Jake! Not now.
-Well, that was a lot of fun.
You wanna tell me what's going on? -Women.
Girlfriend fell in love with me.
-Back to the bat cave, Robin.
Home, sweet home! Let's get a fire going.
I tell you, this night blindness is the worst thing for me.
-Speaking of being in the dark, do you want to tell me what that guy was after? -What, you mean Jake? Ah, he's just a pain in the butt.
-He called you a cheat and a thief.
-I am.
I told you, I stole his girlfriend.
-I don't know whether to believe in anything you tell me anymore.
I'm turning in early.
Race starts at the crack of dawn.
-All right.
Sleep well.
-Wait a minute.
This place isn't like we left it.
-What do you mean? -What I mean is I left my bag zipped up.
Someone's been through our stuff! -Why would anybody come in here and go through our stuff? -I don't know.
Why don't you tell me.
We've got visitors.
I love visitors.
-Whoa! Huh! -Well, here's our visitor.
-Look at the size of that thing.
-It's dinner! -Very funny.
-Yeah, hold on to this.
-What are you doing? Don't touch that thing.
What are you doing? -It's okay.
It's okay.
Oh, look at you, cute thing! Oh, come on.
-You know, you are one taco short of a combination.
You know that, don't you? -Very funny.
-He doesn't have the stuff on him, yet but he's gonna go for it.
And when he does, we're gonna nail him.
Another day in the summer sunshine green light to get away it's time let 'em know our names straight to the finish line we race gonna make this baby red line kick sand right in their face we're flying high above the pace straight to the finish line we race leaving them all behind stuck in our shadow only a matter of time till we take the day laying it on the line get a little closer moving up from behind to victory it's our time let 'em know our names straight to the finish line we race flying high above the pace straight to the finish line we race straight to the finish line we race -here's to fate.
Logan, I'm very happy we met.
-I'll be back in a minute, hon.
-Don't be long.
-Hey! -Hey, looks like your little plan worked.
Now you've got your beautiful, rich woman.
-I told you to scare her, not damn near drown her! Here's the rest of your money.
And I better not see your face around here again.
Got it? -Hi.
-Hi.
-Can I come in? -Sure.
-Oh, I feel so stupid.
You were so right about Logan.
He doesn't care about me at all.
I just saw him all over this incredible-looking older woman at the Malibu sea club.
I mean, she was just dripping money.
-Oh, Caroline.
I'm sorry.
I know how much that hurts.
-I'm really sorry about what I said about you and Mitch.
- Well, the truth always hurts.
I wish you could learn from my mistakes.
At least they wouldn't be a total loss.
-Why are men so hard to figure out? -Anybody I know? Caroline told me about Logan.
-Oh, yeah? I hear Cort's in town.
How's he? -I wouldn't know.
He didn't come to see me.
He took off with Mitch.
-Aw, come here! Take a couple of whacks.
It really helps.
-You know, I think I'll settle for screaming at the top of my lungs.
-No, no, no, no, no.
Come here, come here.
Come on.
Take a couple of whacks, get you out of this bad mood.
Put these gloves on.
Okay.
One, two, three, good whack.
Ready? One, two, three.
Ugh! -Are you okay? Are you okay? -Come on, Mitch.
Let me take the wheel.
-Why? We're doing fine! -Come on! Don't treat me like an invalid! This is great! -Oh, I don't know.
-Five minutes.
-All right, all right.
I'll pull over, make the switch real fast.
-All right.
-Come on, come on.
I sure as hell hope you know what you're doing! Okay, come on.
I got the belt.
-All right.
-Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go! What's going on? -Just a little shortcut.
Hang on.
Oh, man! -What's going on? -It sounds like a loose gas line.
Hang on.
I think I can fix this.
Oh, yeah.
Hang tight.
This should just take a second.
-They're right down there.
I see them.
By the rocks.
-Hey, Mitch, I'm not too sure about my shortcut.
Why don't you check out the map? See if you can find the best way back to the course? -Jackpot! I knew he buried it somewhere.
-Okay, I think that's it.
Let's see.
-Mitch, it's fixed.
You don't have to get out.
-Yeah, let me see.
Let me see what is wrong with this dune buggy.
Now, you want to tell me about this, huh? - Mitch, I can explain.
-This is what Jake was after, isn't it? Isn't it? Oh, I got it.
You're using me to smuggle stolen goods across the border, is that it? Is it? -Mitch, I never meant to use you.
-Come on, give me the truth! -Okay.
Look, I've been waiting for a chance to get these Mayan artifacts across the border without Jake dogging me.
I thought this was the perfect way.
The authorities would never stop the winners to check them out as they cross the border.
I thought with you driving and knowing the course and everything, we'd win.
-Oh, man! How could you get us involved in stealing and smuggling? -No, I didn't steal the artifacts.
I won them fair and square in a poker game.
It's just one of the other players didn't think it was so fair and square and he wants them back.
-Jake? -Yeah.
That was probably him at our camp site.
-Beautiful.
Beautiful! -Look, Mitch, I got us into this trouble.
I'll get us out.
I'm driving.
-The hell you are! You're not driving! Get in! -Come on! Let's get to the car.
What's going on? Who's that? -I have two guesses.
-You guys are here just in time to arrest these two.
They're smuggling stolen Mayan artifacts across the border.
Go ahead and check out their buggy.
-You have such a way of showing your gratitude.
-Yeah, this time I'm going to nail you, man.
It's in the back, in the lock box.
Check it out.
Check it out.
-There's nothing here such as you have described.
-What do you mean? It's gotta be in there! I saw him put it in myself! What did you do with the artifact? -Back off, man! I suggest you americanos take your argument across the border, or else we will continue it in our local jail.
-Come on, Jake! Let's go.
-Phew! -Shall we? -After you.
- I've been through all this before I've walked right up to this door but I never went through cause' I was waiting for you Was there ever someone else for me I recall the faintest memory but even now the face has faded out of mind into yours, love no I never went through cause' I was waiting for you Blinded by another "could've been" kept you close, but always "just a friend" suddenly the space you're claiming seems like it was always yours, love thought that I could see, but now I know the lessons lie in wait until we grow my eyes are finally open now my vision's clear and full of you, love I've been through all this before I've walked right up to this door But I never went through cause' I was waiting for you -Mitch, I want to tell you something.
I know what I did was wrong, and I hate it like hell lying to you.
It's just, sometimes I get so afraid for my future.
-I know you do.
I'm proud of you for turning loose those artifacts to the orphanage.
-I wanted artifacts to sell so I could get that boat I told you about so I could just sail off into the sunset.
You know, just totally escape.
So much for that, huh? -You know, John, it's not about escaping.
It's about accepting.
Look, I know it's hard, but I think once you learn to do that, you might find the peace of mind you're searching for.
-You've always been my best buddy.
-Always have and always will.
No more hair-brain schemes.
-I promise, I promise.
Cort's honor.
-Yeah, Cort's honor, huh? -Well, look at who's returned.
-CJ.
-I'd love to stay and chat, but I gotta go.
-Yeah, but CJ-- -I'm sorry, John.
I got a date.
-Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
-Well, old buddy, looks like I blew that one too.
- Yup.
-Mitch, I got this great idea.
Mitch!
