NARRATOR: Previously on "SAF3--"

Are you still
having nightmares?

Sometimes.

Gallagher's had me on
light duty for weeks.

But sitting behind a
desk-- it's not for me.

I just feel like I don't belong.

I think it's time to retire.

He's so hot.

He's the reason
I picked this spot.

Did you go out with him?

No.

He's my instructor.

We're just friends.

I thought going
away would fix it,

but it was all still
here when I got back.

What was here?

The urge to take the pill,
the team, Sarah's daughter.

I'm not used to anyone caring.

Well, I'm trying to--

if you'll let me.

[music playing]

[infant crying]

My baby!

I'm going to get you.

I'm going to get you out.

No, my baby!

I'm going to get you out!

No, no, please, no!

I'm trying to help!

No!

No!

My baby!

My baby!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Go, go, go!

[music playing]

I was just lucky I was there.

Sometimes you're exactly
where you're supposed

to be at the right time.

You're an off-duty
firefighter.

Is that correct?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm a member of Safe Division.

Sir, thank you for
saving me and my baby.

I'm glad I was there.

Me too.

REPORTER [ON TV]: Well,
there you have it--

a very touching story out
of Malibu this morning.

This is Sandy Miller for--

[music playing]

WOMAN [VOICEOVER]: I tried
to tell John again today.

I have to believe it's not
the right time because he

doesn't seem ready to hear it.

How am I going to tell him that
I have a daughter of my own?

You made my favorite
fried chicken.

How did I get so lucky?

You did, didn't you?

Thanks, pumpkin.

So have you given any more
thought into starting a family?

You know we're
not ready for that.

I know.

I'm just thinking.

Would you ever adopt?

I'm not completely
against it, but why would

we do that when we could
have a child of our own?

Come on.

I'll race you in.

[music playing]

Who won?

It wasn't a fair race.

You've already
done 1,000 meters.

You've been watching?

I heard you were gunning
for the Olympic trials.

I can see why.

Well our high
school coach taught

us that if you're
happy with your time,

you'll never get better.

Good advice.

I'm hoping you will use some
of your energy for the Taplin

trials this week.

Are you kidding me?

Well, I'm in charge of
putting the team together.

I'd love for you to try out.

That's amazing.

I've been watching every Taplin
since I was a junior guard.

There are going to
be 12 teams this year,

including one from Australia.

There are four
swimmers on each team,

so the competition to earn
your spot will be tough.

Well, if it was easy,
who would want it?

I like your attitude.

I think you've
got what it takes.

Thanks.

That means a lot.

[music playing]

So you grew up in Oregon?

Yeah.

My parents always came
for summer vacation.

Always stayed at a Casa Malibu.

My mom always used
to set up right

outside the lifeguard
tower so it would be safe.

She couldn't swim.

She told me I'd sit
all day, wide-eyed,

watching the lifeguard.

From my perspective,
he was Superman.

And that's all I
ever wanted to be.

That's sweet.

I always wanted to be
a lifeguard because

of "Baywatch."

I can see that.

New Safe HQ looks awesome.

Yeah, it's pretty great.

You want a tour?

Sure.

Come on.

Hey, Charlie, Bryce.

Hey, guys.

Hey.

Check out what
Duningen left us.

First class all the way, huh?

Yeah.

You all know Bryce, right?

Yeah, of course we do.

What's up, man?

Go horns.

Ah, he knows me.

Hook 'em.

This place is great.

Come by anytime.

- Thanks.
- Hey, Bryce.

I'm thinking about
going for a ski.

You want to come?

Love it.

Cool.

I could use the competition.

This guy Jerry likes
to stay in all the time

because he's afraid of
getting his butt whooped.

Oh, now it's on.

Well, then it's on, then.

See you later.

All right.

Are you guys ready to do this?

Bryce, this one, all yours.

Sweet, man.

Let's do it.

Go, Charlie.

What?

How long has
this been going on?

There's nothing going on.

We work together.

He's my boss.

I don't know why you
just don't go for it.

You're not seeing
anyone, are you?

I can read body language.

OK.

He wants me to try
out for the Taplin.

Do they need anyone
else on the team?

I'll try it if they
all look like him.

Earth brunettes.

I know.

Jason Momoa.

Oh, yes, Jason Momoa.

Hey, Rivera.

Sir, thank you for
seeing me this morning.

Sit down.

Yeah, I saw you on TV.

You did the department proud.

We're going to miss you.

Well, that's what I wanted
to talk to you about, sir.

You know I've been frustrated
with being on light duty.

And with all due respect,
sitting behind a desk,

it isn't for me.

I want to serve.

And after the rescue
this morning, it felt

like I was making a mistake.

I still feel like I'm
able to be on active duty.

I'm asking you to consider
withdrawing my resignation

and reinstating me
to be on active duty.

We've never had anybody resign
and then change their mind.

But I'd hate to lose you.

You're too good a role
model for the department.

Well, thank you, sir.

In fact, I can stop the
resignation from taking effect.

I'd like to have you back
here at Search and Rescue.

Well, sir, I was
kind of hoping I

might be able to stay at Safe.

If the chief
allows you to return,

he will decide which
division you serve in--

with my counsel, of course.

Yes, sir.

[music playing]

This is your mom's
favorite beach.

She said it reminded her
the most of Cape Town.

We came here on our first date.

She even asked me
to marry her here.

What?

She asked you?

So I wanted to come
here for a reason.

You always want to come here.

Because it's our place.

I know.

I'm just teasing.

What do you got up your sleeve?

You know I'm crazy
mad in love with you.

And I want to spend the
rest of my life with you.

John Erickson,
will you marry me?

Yes.

Wow.

Go Mom!

I love that story.

She knew what
she wanted in life,

and she always went for it.

This belonged to your mom.

She wore it every day.

I know she'd want
you to have it.

It's beautiful.

She wore this bracelet
when I first met her,

and she added a charm
a year, always in June.

And after reading
your mother's journal,

I discovered that
those charms were

for you, one for each birthday.

Once I gave her charm
as a gift, but she

never put it on the bracelet.

Made a necklace
out of it instead.

She vowed that one
day, she'd find you.

She did?

I think she wanted to
tell me about it too,

but she never did.

And by meeting you, I
got the courage to start

reading those journals.

It's been helping me
find my own answers.

Maybe they can be
helpful to you too.

Thank you for
giving this to me.

It means a lot.

I would love to read
Mom's journals--

I mean, when you're ready.

How was your swim?

Good.

I was just cooling off.

Finished my shift
a little while ago.

Yeah.

I went by 18 to talk to you.

Yeah?

What about?

I know from rookie school
what a good swimmer you are.

We both know how great
you are in the pool.

But the key to speed in
the ocean is direction.

Sometimes it's the guy
who can swim straighter.

Sometimes it's the guy
who can read currents.

Sometimes it's the
guy who can do both.

OK.

Well, I've gotten
better at dead reckoning

since I started
working the beach.

Yeah.

How would you get
there the fastest?

Well, definitely not
in a straight line.

The current would
throw me off course.

I'd approach the buoy this way.

Nice to know you were
listening in class.

Show me where you'd start.

Right there.

That way you can swim
with the current.

OK.

But getting to the buoy
is only half the battle.

In the Taplins, you have to
get around it and come back.

And there are going to
be a lot of big boys

trying to crowd you out.

What are you saying?

I can't hang?

Look at me.

I'm not going to get messed
up with those guys either.

That's why you need to be smart.

Use your speed.

Stay wide and avoid them.

Start further out
and stay outside.

Don't get mixed up with
the guys like here.

OK.

Let's try it.

OK.

Go!

[music playing]

Good angle.

You got to be faster than that.

[music playing]

See?

Even though you were behind at
the turn, you weren't crowded,

and you finished strong.

Do that at the tryouts,
and you have a great chance

of making the team.

Thank you so much.

Oh, sorry.

[music playing]

Hey.

Hey.

The bracelet looks good on you.

Thank you.

I know it must have
been hard giving it up.

It was always meant for you.

I like the sound of that.

So what do I owe the pleasure?

Well, since our
talk earlier, I

can't stop thinking about how
all these years, my mom and I

were looking for each other.

And then I thought, what if
my dad was looking for me too?

So I'm thinking I want
to go to Cape Town

and see if I can find him.

Wow.

That's a big decision.

I know, but it's the next
best thing to finding my mom.

Well, it's not like
he's next door, Casey.

Cape Town is halfway
across the world.

You don't even know this guy--

if he's alive or dead, or if he
even still lives in Cape Town.

I know.

It's just-- I feel
like I have to try.

I mean, look how many answers
I've gotten since I found you.

I have money saved,
and chiropractor

school in summer break, so
it's a perfect time to go.

It's halfway around the world.

I know, but my
mom's from there.

And I can start
with her parents.

Because you have their
information, don't you?

She didn't have much of a
relationship with her parents.

I never met them.

But I got their information.

Any chance you'd
consider putting this off

so I can come with you?

I don't know if I
like the idea of you

going to a foreign
country by yourself.

I've been on my
own my whole life.

I don't expect
you to understand.

It's just something
that I have to do.

And I already booked my ticket.

So I turned in my
retirement papers today.

You what/

I know.

I know.

I didn't talk to you about
it because I know you

would try to talk me out of it.

Yeah, Alphonso.

You know how frustrated
I've been on light duty.

And I thought I was
making the right decision.

Wait, what?

After I saved that woman
and her baby this morning,

I realized retirement
was a complete mistake,

so I spoke to Gallagher to see
if he can formally withdraw it.

And?

Well, he said he's going
to see if I can be reinstated

and where that
reinstatement will be.

But it might not be at Safe.

Well, at this
point, ti's going

to be a battalion-level
decision, so we'll just

have to wait and see.

Come on.

[music playing]

[cheering]

Welcome to the team.

Thanks

Good swim.

Speedy.

Yeah?

You sure you don't
want coffee, Lily?

No, sir.

I'm fine.

You know, I
admire your tenacity

in standing by your teammate.

Alphonso has been my
partner for six years.

We've been through
a lot together.

He didn't tell me
about the resignation.

I know it was a
tough choice for him.

I watched him fight with
all he had to get back.

You know, I think he did
what he thought was right.

Because he didn't know
he still had it in him.

This morning showed
him what he could do.

What he needs now
is for his superiors

to let him know he can do it.

Our team knows he can.

[music playing]

Hey.

Hey.

Back when we started,
we had to climb

the ladder to get to our towel.

Yeah, well, back
when you started,

lifeguards still
wore wool swimsuits.

I walked right into that one.

What's up?

I want to ask you for a favor.

Yeah?

Shoot.

I know you and Casey
have become friends.

Yeah.

We have a lot of fun together.

Well, she wants to
go to South Africa

to look for her real dad.

I don't feel comfortable
with her going by herself.

And I was wondering if I can
convince you to go with her.

South Africa?

Well, I can't.

I have a summer job.

I thought of that.

You'd only be gone for a while.

She wants to leave next
week, so the summer

will at least be half over.

And of course I'd
pay for everything.

Look, we both know Casey's
not famous for making

the right decisions.

I'd feel a lot better if
she had a friend with her

to keep her safe.

She's leaving so soon?

Yeah.

Will you consider it?

Sure.

Thanks, Charlie.

[music playing]

Hey, girls.

Hey, Charlie.

You're just who
I needed to see.

What's up?

Well, I need your advice.

You remember Bryce, right?

Ooh, la la.

Of course we do.

Stop.

This is serious.

It's about work.

OK.

He dedicated all this time to
help me train for the Taplin.

And when I made it,
I was super excited,

and he was super excited.

I mean, it's something
I've dreamed about doing

since I was a junior guard.

OK.

So what's the problem?

Yeah.

It seems like you have
the team and the guy.

What else could you ask for?

Well, That's what
I was thinking.

And then this afternoon, Captain
Erickson came to my tower

and said that Casey is going to
Cape Town to look for her dad.

Anyways, he can't take
more time off work,

and she doesn't really
want him to go with her.

So he asked me to go.

Wow.

OK, that is a tough one.

Yeah.

Basically, he's
asking you to babysit.

No, but he's also asking
you as a friend for a favor.

And you know he
wouldn't ask you if he

didn't really need your help.

Yeah, but on the other
hand, you can't just walk

away from the team like that.

Once you give your word
and your commitment,

the whole team is
relying on you.

Plus, Bryce is also counting
on you, and he's your boss.

She's right.

So you're saying
I should stay.

Well, if you care about your
relationship with Bryce, yeah.

Which is exactly why, if
you value your relationship

with Erickson, you should go.

Right, yeah, because Captain
Erickson is counting on me.

OK.

Well, we're going for a jog.

Let us know what you decide.

What?

[music playing]

Yeah!

I'm in the lead.

That's because you cheat.

How is he possibly cheating?

This game is all
about what you know.

- Thank you.
- No, exactly.

And I know you're cheating.

OK.

He's jealous.
- Give it.

Give it.
- Game

My turn.

Tell me you didn't
go see Gallagher.

Ask me about my love life.

Another lie about that.

You know you don't have
to fight my battles for me.

I wasn't.

I was fighting for the team.

We need you here.

I need you here.

Well, what did you say to him?

Pretty much what
I just told you.

And then what did he say?

He thanked me for coming in.

[alarm ringing]

MAN [ON INTERCOM]:
Dispatch to Safe HQ.

Coast Guard has
requested assistance

on a search and rescue
operation six miles off shore.

Be advised-- possible victims
trapped under the water.

Over.

We found the container.

It landed on its doors.

But we can't get
inside that way.

Coast Guard just confirmed
there are Angolan refugees

inside the container.

Human traffickers
pushed them over when

Coasties boarded their ship.

All right.

We're going in.

They've been down
there for over two hours.

There's very little chance
they're still alive.

I know, but I had
this gut feeling.

Tex, bring the oxy arc cutter.

Once we gain access, we're
going to determine if this

is a rescue or a recovery.

Coast Guard will be
standing by either way.

We'll cut low as
possible to avoid flooding.

Yeah.

Any air pockets above would
slow the rise of the water.

Lily, you take [inaudible].

Graciela, you wait till we
come back with the report, OK?

Copy.

Here you go.

Alphonso to Lily.

We're at the container.

Texas, cut a circle with
the arc cutter that's

big enough for one person.

We don't want to
let any air out.

Here we go.

[inaudible] to IC.

Do you copy?

IC copy.

Be advised.

Long Beach Memorial has been
notified of possible incoming.

WOMAN [ON INTERCOM]: [inaudible]
standby for any overflow.

Copy.

We're through
the container wall.

Standby.

Incident Command,
we have survivors.

I repeat-- we have survivors.

How many people are in here?

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10 confirmed.

Incident Command, brief standby.

Texas and I are coming out.

LILY [ON INTERCOM]: Copy that.

Please don't leave us.

Ma'am, you've got
to try to stay calm.

All right?

I'm going to go for
backup and supplies.

You've got to try and stay calm.

That's the only way we
can get out of here.

I'll be right back.

I promise.

[music playing]

All right.

We're going to
need air cylinders,

underwater [inaudible],, scuba
masks, and pony bottles.

- Got it.
- Graciela, suit up.

You're coming down with us.

Lily, tell the Coasties
to tie up to our boat.

It's going to get busy up here.

Copy that.

All right, Tex.

The water is rising fast in
that container's space, man.

We got to get down
there fast, all right?

Got it.

Come on.

Here you go.

Lily, have Air Ops ready to
transport any critical victims.

Copy.

All right.

All right, Tex.

Let's go back down.

Copy that.

Ready to go.

All right, guys.
Here's the plan.

We're going to get out
out of here one at a time.

Whoa, whoa, wait, wait!

Stay calm!

You've got to stay calm.

So that way, you can
follow instructions so we

can get you out of here safely.

Do you understand?

You got to stay calm.

We've got to get the
uninjured out first.

That's not procedure.

I understand that, but we've
got to get the ones that have

the best chance for
survival out first,

and that'll free up some
room for the litter.

All right?

Let's move fast.

[music playing]

This one's critical.

Jared, drop the line.

Copy.

Dropping the line.

Hey, Alphonso.

We did it.

Sometimes we're exactly
where we're supposed to be.

Nice.

You know your
intuition is what

saved those people back there.

Sometimes you just
gotta go with your gut.

Hey, guys.

No, sit, sit.

I hear you two just
came off a big rescue.

Yes, sir.

Once again, Alphonso
has done us proud.

I'm not so sure about that.

Rivera, it seems you
have repeatedly been

a liability to this department.

When you were on light duty,
you went out on a rescue.

And now, while
you're in retirement,

you put yourself and
your team at risk.

You ought to know better.

Sir, there was a
call, and I answered it.

That's what we do.

It's no different than the
rescue he made this morning.

This morning he was not on
duty or in uniform representing

the Malibu Fire Department.

Point taken.

But sir, I can
honestly say I wouldn't

do anything differently.

You know, Rivera, you
recently won a Medal of Valor.

Over the years, you've been
great to this department.

But from now on, you're going
to have to follow orders.

Does that mean--

It means your
resignation is denied.

So where will I be assigned?

At Battalion Chief
Gallagher's recommendation,

firefighter Alphonso
Rivera is hereby

assigned to duty at Safe.

This was your suggestion?

Well, I wish we could
keep you on my team,

but maybe one day
we'll get you back.

For now, it seems your
best service is at Safe.

Thank you, sir.

And I know good
advice when I hear it.

[music playing]

What do you mean, you
can't be in the Taplin team?

I'm sorry.

Something came up.

Something came up?

Charlie, when you quit a
team, you tell the leader why.

And you tell him to his
face, not on a text.

You're right.

I owe you that.

Captain Erickson asked
me to do a favor,

and it's something that means
I'll have to miss Taplin.

It must be a big favor.

It is.

Look, you know I
want to be on the team.

But Taplin comes
around every year,

and friendships are forever.

[music playing]
