Hey, Brielle!

Yeah, of course.

Let me just put these away.

One second.

All finished?

Yes, I was just about to-

Oh good, good, could you pick up some courgette

on the way home?

I could find any in the cupboard.

One moment.

Hey, you better just go ahead without me.

Yeah, have a good time, though.

Hi, Papa, sorry about that.

Can you grab a handful?

Yes, I'm just cleaning up and I'll be on my way.

I've already started dinner.

I said I was going to cook you something.

Well, you can help if you get home in time.

See you, salud.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Do you know if there's a lost and found on the beach?

Sorry, no.

Yeah, I was here about six months ago on vacation and-

Sorry, no English.

Oh, okay.

No problem.

Have a nice day.

Hey.

Hi.

I'll give you $20 if I can borrow that for a little while.

Sure.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

All right.

- Thanks, bud. - Thank you.

Yeah, I'll bring it back.

Hey mom, check this out.

Papa.

I have your courgette.

Papa?

Papa!

I am out back.

Are you right?

- Yes, yes. - Let me help you.

I just slipped, is all.

I just felt like I wanted some tomatoes with dinner.

I said I would do it.

Well, I wanted dinner to be ready when you arrived home.

It was very thoughtful of you.

But you know I like to help.

You're here now so we can finish together, huh?

Oui.

Get the salt and butter?

Already done.

Hmm.

Have you heard from your sister?

No, not in the last couple of weeks.

Puaiti doesn't call, she doesn't email back.

She's busy with school.

I have to contact her if I want to have any interaction

at all, and half the time, she does not even respond.

I don't think she's intentionally ignoring you.

It's just a stage of life she's in.

Can I use some of the rice?

Another phone, huh?

This one seems to be in pretty good shape.

It was in a waterproof case,

so it was only slightly damaged.

We might actually be able to turn it back on.

After dinner, maybe you can show me

whatever the treasures you found today, huh?

Oui.

Oh, it looks delicious.

Merci.

One more plate.

Papa, you don't need to keep doing this every night.

Yes, we do, so Puaiti knows

she is always welcome at our table.

Happy?

Oui.

Thank you, Lord for this food

which gives us nourishment in our bodies.

Lord, please continue to protect our family.

Even Puaiti, who is so far from us.

So where did you go today, huh?

South of Temae Beach.

Not too far from the marina.

Ah, look at this one, it's a beauty.

Mm.

That is a real find.

I think it is a United States Navy ring,

yeah, class of 2007, no?

And yeah, I think there's something engraved on the bottom.

What's it say?

I, I can't quite make it out.

Let me see.

It says M. Tomlin.

Can I help you find him?

The United States Naval Academy class ring

is a symbol of honor given to those who have successfully

completed instruction at the naval academy.

Well, maybe we can find a class listing for 2007, huh?

Look, there it is.

Ah, how many Tomlins can there be, huh?

Let's see.

Smith, Sweeney, Swinson, you're almost to the Ts.

Thompson, Thompson-

You want a little far, go back.

There, Tomlin.

And he's the only one.

First name is Marcus.

- It has to be him. - Yeah.

Well, click on his photo.

Mm.

Well, he's a very good looking man, no?

Let's see if he can find him on social media.

This might be him.

Marcus T.

Mm, no.

- No. - That's not him.

Um... this could be.

There he is, right there.

That's him.

Let's see if we can find some contact info.

Well if you click on the phone symbol

and it will give us a number.

Ohh.

You hit the video call button.

- It was an accident. - I'm going to hang up.

I'm sorry.

Hello?

Hi.

Uh, is this Marcus?

Marcus Tomlin?

Yes, and you are?

I'm Brielle.

Okay.

By chance, did you lose a class ring?

Yeah, I did.

Oh, yeah?

Because I found one and I think it might be yours.

Can you tell me what it looks like?

It, it has an M. and my last name engraved on it.

Looks like I found your ring.

That's it!

I can't believe it.

How did you find it?

I found it while I was diving.

That's incredible.

Yeah, I lost it while I was on vacation.

Oh yeah, how long ago?

About six months.

Where did you find it?

Off the coast of Moorea.

I can just mail this out to you.

Where should I send it to?

Wait, are you on Moorea now?

Yes.

I'm actually nearby in Tahiti.

If it's cool, I could come to the island and pick it up.

That way you don't have to worry about shipping or anything.

Are you sure you wanna do that?

Yeah, I was planning on heading over in a week or so,

but now I have incentive to come sooner.

I can be there tomorrow.

Okay, I can meet you at the marina by the ferry.

All right.

I'll take the 10 o'clock ferry,

so that should get me there just before 11.

Great, see you then.

See you then.

Here we go.

Oui.

Merci.

I am sorry that I am such a burden to you.

You are not.

I felt like I was taking you away

from something today when I called.

That was nothing important.

So then I did.

It's fine, I can always go another time.

Is this what you want with your life?

Where is this coming from?

Well, I'm worried.

I, I, I'm worried that you will never meet anyone

because all you do is take care of me.

I don't need to meet anyone.

Besides, family should take care of one another.

You know, you used to always talk about setting out

to sea on an adventure.

It's one thing to dream about it.

It's another to do it.

And I worry that I have taken that dream from you.

I'm right where I'm needed,

and that's what's most important.

One day.

Marcus?

Yeah, hi.

Hi.

Marcus Tomlin, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, the ring.

Here you go.

Oh, wow.

Thank you so much.

I didn't think I would ever see this again.

Here, I wanted to give you something as thanks.

Mm-mm, no, that's not necessary.

I'm just happy the ring is back to his rightful owner.

Well, can I take you to lunch?

It's the least I can do for returning the ring.

Sure, why not?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay, there's a few great places

right around here, aren't there?

Yeah, you okay to walk?

Definitely, yeah, a walk would be nice.

That ring is beautiful.

It's heavier than I remember.

You were in the Navy?

Still am.

I just had a bunch of leave days that I had to use up

before I lost them.

The ring looks important.

Yeah.

It's to help me remember what's expected of me.

So you said you found it diving?

Yeah, I was metal detecting.

Metal detecting under water?

Yeah.

How deep?

Only about five or six meters.

Do you dive often?

I'm in the water every day.

My family owns a boat and we do SCUBA and snorkeling tours

and in my free time I dive and metal detect.

That's pretty awesome.

So besides my ring, what else have you found?

Lots of rubbish.

Bottle caps, cans, nails.

But if you're persistent,

you can find some real treasures out there.

Like what?

Lost jewelry, rings, watches, coins.

So after you find these things, you,

you try to figure out who they belong to

and then you return them?

Yeah, if I can find out who they belong to,

then I contact them and mail it back to them.

If I can't, I post the finds on a public forum

to see who claims them.

That's so nice of you.

So have you ever found anything really valuable?

Like, like a diamond ring?

Yeah, a few.

- Really? - Yeah, I was even able

to find out who they belong to.

That's us.

So you live here on the island?

Pretty much my entire life, yeah.

You don't look like a local, though.

My family's from France.

They sailed here when I was little.

Yeah, you said your family owns a boat

and you run a tour business?

Is that with your mom, dad?

Just my dad.

Well, kind of.

It's his boat, but he suffered a stroke several years ago.

He's having a hard time getting out of the house.

My sister used to help a little when she was around,

but now she's at school in America.

And your mom?

She passed away several years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Some days are fine.

Others are...

you know.

So when you say family business,

it's pretty much just you doing it all?

My dad helps book appointments,

and he handles any disgruntled customers.

How do you find time to treasure hunt

or do anything for yourself?

That is the tricky part.

So you were here six months ago?

Yeah.

You didn't happen to find any other rings

in the same area, did you?

Mm, just yours.

I only ask because at the same time that I lost my ring,

my fiancee, or ex-fiancee kind of,

she actually lost her ring, too.

- Kind of ex - fiancee?

Yeah, it's complicated.

Sounds like it.

I had no idea where we lost the rings.

We were all over the place that day.

Landed in Tahiti, hotel, beach.

Ferry ride to Moorea, whale tour.

It wasn't until the end of the day

that we even realized they were missing.

That's beautiful.

A lot of people don't realize that once you hit

the cold water, your hands shrink.

Nice to hear I'm not the only one who didn't know that.

I'm glad I found your ring.

Me too.

And I'll keep an eye out for the other one.

Thanks.

I have a snorkeling tour that I need to get ready for.

Oh yeah, of course.

Thank you for meeting me.

Thank you for lunch.

Yeah.

It was nice meeting you, Marcus.

Same here.

Okay, bye.

Hey, um... I have two more weeks before I have to be back.

What would you think about me hiring you

to teach me how to metal detect

and help me find the other ring?

You wanna hire me?

Yeah.

Look, I tried middle detecting on my own and I was terrible.

I have no idea what I'm doing,

but you've been at it for years

and sounds like you found all sorts of treasures

for other people, so.

I'm happy to help, it's just,

no one has ever paid me for it.

You deserve to be compensated.

You know, for your time and expertise.

Look, just think about it.

Well, I have a tour in the morning.

You wanna start after?

Actually, do you have any extra room on the tour?

I can check.

It would be good for me to get my fins wet again

and, you know, we could work out a schedule.

Well, I actually do have one spot open tomorrow.

Yeah?

So why don't you meet me here in the morning.

10:00 AM?

Perfect, I'll be here.

Great, see you.

All right, see ya.

So you returned the ring?

Yeah.

Oh and it went well, I see?

What do you mean?

Doesn't your face hurt from smelling that big?

I know where you're going with this.

I do not know what you are implying.

He actually hired me to help find another ring.

Really, well that's good.

The ring he wants to find belongs to his ex-fiancee.

- Well, ex - fiancee?

He said it's complicated.

I didn't ask.

Anyway, we start tomorrow.

Is he as handsome as in his photo?

Let's say grace.

Thank you, Lord, for this food which gives us

nourishment in our bodies.

Lord, please continue to protect our family,

our loved ones.

And Lord, bless everyone at this table,

even Puaiti, who is so far from us.

Watch over her and guide her.

We praise you and glorify you, amen.

Amen.

Piper!

You are here?

My prayers have been answered!

I don't believe it, look at you!

When did you get here?

Just barely.

I'm sorry, I am just so happy to see you, oh.

Oh, are you hungry?

You're just time to eat.

Do you guys have enough for one more?

Travis, come on.

Is it safe?

Yeah, let's go.

Okay.

This is Travis.

Hi, I'm Brielle.

Hello, um...

This is my father, Phillipe.

Travis.

Uh, sir, I'm, I'm, I'm Travis.

Travis, welcome to my home.

So, when did you guys arrive?

We took the last ferry in.

We were lucky, we almost missed it.

Why didn't you call first?

We wanted to surprise you.

You certainly did.

This is really good.

Thank you.

So how long have you two been dating for?

Almost a year.

What?

Well why is this the first I've heard of it?

Probably because whenever I talk to you about men,

you start on one of your lectures.

I just want the best for my Puaiti?

Um, what's a Puaiti?

Puaiti is her name.

It's Piper, Dad.

You know I've asked you to call me that.

So I, I hear your family has a boat?

Yeah, a catamaran.

That's the one with two holes, right?

Right.

That's pretty cool.

Brielle captain's it now,

and is in charge of all the tours.

Oh yeah, Piper...

Uh, Puaiti.

Piper is fine.

Your sister, she says that you want

to take the boat around the world?

Not around the world, but I would really like to...

What is this?

Is this what I think it is?

Maybe.

It's gorgeous!

I know, right?

Congratulations.

What?

Daddy, Travis and I are engaged.

What are your plans?

Do you know when you wanna get married?

Before school starts up again.

That's soon?

That's less than six weeks away.

Do you know where?

Here actually, on the island.

Dad will love that.

We have the whole summer off and plan on sticking around

to get everything ready.

I see Dad is still the same.

He just doesn't do well with change.

He just needs time to process at all.

Yeah, it didn't exactly go as we planned.

Let me talk to him.

Papa, this is this where you tell them

how happy you are for them.

I wish Travis had come to me first

before asking her to marry him.

Well, Piper thought it was-

Isn't that a little old fashioned?

Does anyone even do that anymore?

I have not seen you in over a year.

And the first thing I find out

is that you are being taken away from me.

I think we're gonna go.

Come on, Travis.

Piper.

Where are you guys staying?

We got a hotel.

You should stay here.

I don't want to be around Dad right now.

I'm starting to remember why I left in the first place.

How do you even stand it?

I can't leave Dad.

Leaving was the best thing for me.

Moving away was the only way I could feel truly independent.

But didn't it make you miss it here?

Miss family?

Of course, but I also had to find myself.

I know you don't wanna leave Dad,

but you've gotta do what's best for you, Bri.

Helping Dad is what is best for me.

Is that what you're gonna do for the rest of your life?

If he needs me.

He definitely needs you in his life.

He cleans your room once a week

in hopes that you come home and use it.

And I do come home and he's rude.

Why can't he just be happy for me?

Can we go out on the boat tomorrow?

The tour's already full in the morning.

Please?

I could really use something to get my mind off of Dad.

Why don't you guys meet me at the dock in the morning

and we'll see if we can make it work.

Thanks.

It was nice meeting you, Travis.

Yeah, uh, you too.

See you tomorrow.

Safe ride.

You got what you wished for.

You asked to see Piper and here she is.

With a fiancé.

He seems nice.

She's lost her accent, did you notice so?

She sounds like an American now.

It's as if she doesn't want anything

to do with her heritage.

Piper's always been a free spirit.

She likes to make her own way.

You didn't know she was coming?

- Hm - mm.

Oh, well I really messed this up, didn't I?

I like Travis.

He seems like a good fit for Piper.

I didn't give him much of a chance.

You can try again next time you see him.

Yeah, if Puaiti gives me another a chance.

I'm seeing them tomorrow, I'll find out how she's feeling.

In the meantime, why don't you think of something

you can do to show her your support her?

Merci.

Good morning!

It's a beautiful day.

Are we good to go?

Let's see who's at the dock.

This is going to be amazing.

There better be space.

Good morning, Brielle.

Good morning.

And who is this?

This is Marcus, he's booked on the tour.

Uh huh.

You're early.

Didn't wanna miss this.

I heard you have the best boat tour on the island.

This is a great day to be on the water.

Ah, I can't wait.

Where's the boat?

I'll be right back with it.

Hi, I'm Piper, Brielle's sister.

Nice to meet you, I'm Marcus.

And this is my fiancé.

- Travis. - Travis, hey.

- everyone. - Good morning.

I'm Brielle, I'll be your tour guide today.

So let's see who's here.

Mike and Jessica?

Hey.

Nice to meet you.

Dave and Kristen?

- Hey. - Hi.

I see you brought your own gear?

Mmhm.

Were we supposed to bring some?

No, we got plenty on the boat,

but if you have your own gear,

you're more than welcome to use it.

No William and Julie?

So I guess we have enough space for you two.

Yes!

All right, let's go!

Thanks for letting me come today.

Of course.

Your sister's nice.

She got in last night,

surprised my dad and I with the news that she's engaged.

It's quite the rock on her finger.

She should be careful when she goes in the water.

I'll remind her to take it off.

Have you thought about what you wanna charge

for helping me?

You don't have to pay me.

I'm definitely paying you.

Your time is worth something.

What do you charge for these tours?

They're around $100 American per person.

And it's about four hours?

Yeah, plus travel time.

Okay, how about I give you $200

for a few hours each time we go out?

That's too much.

All right, why don't we just start with $200

for today's snorkel tour

and the afternoon of metal detecting?

You must really want that ring, huh?

What are we gonna see?

Clownfish, stingrays, sharks.

Sharks?

Don't worry, it's safe.

What type of sharks?

Lemon, graytip, gray reef.

Mako, hammerhead.

Most likely you're gonna see black tip.

You ready?

Thank you!

Thank you so much.

Leave a good review!

That was awesome.

I told you.

How much do we owe you?

Don't worry about it.

I'm glad I got to spend some time with you guys.

So, who's this Marcus?

I met him yesterday.

I found his ring in the ocean,

and when I contacted him to turn it back to him,

it turned out he was on the next island over already.

What a find.

The ring, the ring, I was talking about the ring.

Sure you were.

So he just asked to go on the tour today?

Yeah, and I'm going to help search

for his fiancee's engagement ring.

You need any help?

No, I got it covered.

Besides you need to go make things right with Dad.

I know.

He's really missed you.

Tell him you're not really mad at him.

But I am.

You'll get over it.

You always do.

All right, I'm ready whenever you are.

Great, let's go grab some food

and fill the cooler with some drinks.

See you guys.

Wow, that is beautiful.

You seem pretty comfortable on a boat.

Well, the one I'm used to being on is over 300 meters

and I'm not the one at the helm.

Does everyone in the Navy end up on a ship?

A ship or a submarine.

So you lived on a ship the whole time?

When we're out to sea, yeah.

When we port, the junior sailors live aboard,

while senior officers can choose to live in housing nearby.

What do you do?

Oh, onshore, definitely.

After six months out to sea, I'm ready for a real bed.

Why did you join?

When I was a kid, I used to stand on the beach

watching the ships disappear over the horizon.

I just wanted to go with them.

I know the feeling.

I often wish I could just hoist the sails

and keep going out to sea.

Why don't you?

I have responsibilities here.

When I was younger, my father took us on a trip

to see family in France.

I loved that trip.

I was only 12 and I got to be at the helm

almost the whole time.

Oh, you must've loved that.

I can't even imagine all the places you must have seen.

Yeah, I've been pretty lucky.

Got to see most of the world.

What's it like being out on the sea for so long?

Oh, it is every shade of emotion you can think of.

It's challenging, lonely, frustrating.

It's downright terrifying at times.

But I've been able to experience

some of the best things out there.

That sounds amazing.

Is this where you found my ring?

That area is a bit deeper.

We'll start off with something a little easier,

if that's okay.

Probably a good idea.

Underwater or onshore?

We'll get you warmed up with some on the beach.

And then if you like that we can do some shallow searching.

Take your time, slowly swing your search coil

as close to the ground as possible.

That's better.

We're getting to grid this section here.

So for every step you make,

make a full swing of your metal detector.

That's good.

As we reach the end of the grid,

you're going to take a step or two to the side

and just go again.

There's a rhythm to treasure hunting

that forces you to slow down,

relax and take everything in.

- We've got something! - Right there!

Here use this.

Stab it into the sand.

Right here.

Use the sand scoop.

Let me see what you have.

It looks like a coin, I wonder what kind it is.

It's a 1972 Frank coin.

What a great find.

Here we just wanna use the one you're holding in your hands.

No sand scoop?

No, once you find something,

just wave your hand to move the sand around.

Same kinda grid system though.

Pretty much, yeah.

Let's get started.

]

I'm getting signals all over the place.

Pretty exciting, isn't it?

Yeah.

I'm going back for more.

Thank you for today.

That was really fun.

It was.

Next time, do you think we could go look

where you found my ring?

Do you know how to SCUBA?

I do.

When do you want to go?

How about tomorrow afternoon?

I have a tour in the morning.

Tomorrow afternoon works great.

Great.

Can I ask about the engagement ring?

Sure, what about it?

You said it belongs to your kind of ex-fiancee?

Her name is Monica.

I asked her to marry me right before we came out here.

When we lost the rings,

she took it as some kind of bad omen or something.

Said she wanted to hold off on the wedding.

Things haven't been so smooth since then.

Thus, kind of ex-fiancee.

I don't really know where we stand.

So that's why it is so important that you find her ring.

That's why I came back here.

I thought I had to at least try.

And then you found my class ring and gave me hope.

I just, I thought if I found her ring

and showed her how much I wanted the relationship to work,

that it could.

Let's make sure we find her ring, then.

Have you always done it this way?

Okay, fine.

Brielle usually does it.

Okay.

Puaiti.

Puaiti, is that you?

You gonna answer him?

Puaiti!

If he calls me by my name.

There you are, I have been calling for you.

Can you please just call me Piper?

Your name is Puaiti.

You're just stubborn as he is.

I'm gonna go get some more wood.

Stay, stay.

Please, please stay?

I am sorry.

For?

For several things.

I am sorry you do not like your name.

It is to help you remember your home and your culture.

You were born here,

and I am sorry for how I acted last night.

I'm sorry, too.

I don't have the kind of relationship

with you that I would like to have and I,

I feel it is my fault.

I just want you to support my decisions.

You didn't when I went to school and now you don't

that I found the man I wanna spend the rest of my life with.

I just want what is best for you.

Don't you think I'm grown up enough

to know what is best for me?

What would you like me to do?

I want you to be happy for me.

Travis is an amazing man and if you would just spend

some time and get to know him, you would see that.

Thank you.

It is okay to be nervous.

Shows that much, huh?

Well take a deep breath.

And lead with your emotions.

Tell me why you love and respect my daughter.

And if all you can think of to say is 'I love her,'

well, that is a good place to start.

I do love her.

I wanna spend the rest of my life with her.

And I promise I will always cherish, respect, and honor her.

Puaiti is not just my daughter.

She is my princess.

And I knew this from the day she was born.

I, I held her in my arms and I looked into her eyes,

and I knew I would do anything, everything to protect her.

I can only imagine what Dad is saying to him right now.

Do you know what I can do to help with your wedding plans?

It'll be here before you know it.

I still have over a month and the dress is ordered

and arriving next week.

But it seems like there's so much to do.

A venue, guest list, caterer, a photographer.

We wanna keep it small and simple.

Everyone I want to attend is already here on the island.

His parents are flying in and he's an only child,

so keeps it simple.

Do you know where on the island you wanna have it?

On the beach behind the church?

I'm meeting with the pastor later tomorrow.

That will be so beautiful there.

I have an entire checklist

and most of the items are already done.

Wanna go over it with me later?

I would love to.

You really are on top of this.

We've been engaged for a few months now.

The hardest part was trying to figure out how to tell Dad

and have him at the wedding.

So we started planning and we decided that it'd be best

to come home, have it here.

I'm glad you did.

So why do you, why do you want to marry my daughter, huh?

Well...

I love to make her smile, to hear her laugh,

and her strength.

What does Puaiti mean?

It is Tahitian for little flower.

You see, she was born this island, but before she was born,

her mother saw her in the dream.

She saw Puaiti amongst the flowers

and she saw her strength and her natural beauty.

I've only ever known her Piper,

but Puaiti is a beautiful name.

Oui, it is a beautiful name, it is!

And maybe you can help her see that, huh?

Yeah.

So, tell me about Marcus.

There's nothing to tell.

You spent the entire afternoon alone with him.

How was the conversation?

Was he easy to talk to?

Yeah, I mean he asked a lot of questions.

That means he's interested in you.

He's interested in finding a ring.

Do you find him attractive at least?

You do, don't you?

I can see it on your face.

Oh my gosh, stop it.

He hired me to help him find a lost ring.

One that belongs to his ex-fiancee.

You said fiancee before, now you're saying ex-fiancee?

Even if I was interested, and I'm not saying that I am,

he's still in love with her.

Ex-fiancee sounds much more hopeful for you.

You are impossible.

Are you seeing him again?

We are working together tomorrow.

Working, nice.

I'm glad you and Piper were able to work things out.

Well it's not something we can fix in one evening,

but I think we're headed in the right direction.

As long as you are both willing to compromise,

then it will all work out.

Well, now all we have to do is find a man for you.

Hmm, hmm?

Hi, it's Monica.

Don't be shy, leave a message and I'll call you back.

Hey Monica, it's me.

You'll never guess where I am.

I'm back on Moorea.

Someone found my ring.

Can you believe that?

And I'm looking for yours.

Anyway...

I just, I just wanted to let you know

that I haven't given up.

Call me when you have some time.

Bye.

Am I late?

I'm early.

How was your tour?

It was good, drama free.

My boat is anchored off a little ways.

I'll go swim to it and bring it back to pick you up.

Or if it's easier I can just swim with you.

Yeah, that would be easier.

Which one is it?

Um, right over there?

I'll race you there?

Sure.

You ready?

Yeah, just one second.

Did you let me win?

No.

Was I supposed to?

I hope you didn't hold back.

How often do you search this area?

At least once a month.

It seems like the currents converge in this area,

bringing all sorts of treasures.

You really love this, don't you?

I remember one time I was in this spot

where the sand had been washed away,

and I knew there was some treasure there.

I just knew it, and I wasn't going to give up

until I found it.

So did you find it?

I just kept going, and going, and going,

and going until it got too dark to even see.

I finally had to give up for the night.

But first thing in the morning I found it immediately.

What was it?

A pocket watch.

I'm still trying to find out who belongs to,

but I learned from that experience

that the timing of finding a treasure is not in my hands,

and nothing I do can change that,

except be there when I'm supposed to.

So this is where you found my ring?

Yeah, straight down.

]

]

I'm sorry we haven't found the ring yet.

That's okay.

Thank you for helping me look.

I'm actually feeling a lot better about our chances now.

So what is it about the sea that calls to you?

Why do you want to go explore it?

I think partially because of my parents and what they did.

Deciding to leave their comforts of home and to sail here?

Just having that freedom to do what they wanted.

So it's not so much about wanting to see

all the wonderful places out there,

it's more the satisfaction

of knowing that you got there on your own.

Exactly.

As a child, I loved adventure stories.

I read this book set at the end of the second World War.

This man's wife was stuck on the other side of the world,

and with no experience, he got a boat and sailed to her.

He endured the terrors and discomforts of life

on the high seas and enjoyed the trials

of fighting and winning against the elements.

That's what I wanna do.

I better answer this.

Salud, Papa.

Just a second.

It's my father and he would like to speak with you.

Is that okay?

Sure, of course, yeah.

Hello, this is Marcus.

Yes, I, I totally understand.

Of course.

No, thank you.

I appreciate you asking.

All right, I'll see you then.

Okay, bye.

What has he done?

He just wanted to know who has been taking up

so much of his daughter's time

and invited me over for dinner tonight.

You don't have to come.

I don't mind.

I think it was kind of him to ask.

I'm happy to.

I, I mean so long as you're okay with it.

Yeah, sure.

Of course.

Do you have a car?

I was gonna get a taxi.

They charge way too much.

Plus they're old and smelly.

You can ride with me.

Are you sure?

Hop on back.

Is it all right if I hold on you?

I wouldn't want you to fall off.

Whoa!

Salud, Papa.

Salud.

This is Marcus.

No need to get up.

Marcus Tomlin.

Pleasure to meet you, sir.

Well, thank you for coming.

Thank you for inviting me.

Your daughter has been nothing but gracious to me.

First she was kind enough to return my ring.

That was nothing.

And now she's been teaching me a few things

about metal detecting.

Food's ready!

Hey, Marcus.

Congratulations on the engagement, by the way.

So exciting.

Cheers to both.

Thank you.

I heard you were engaged as well?

I am.

I mean, I was.

Yeah.

The ring was lost, but your sister

is helping me look for it.

Do you really think you'll find it?

She found my ring somehow, so.

Good point.

Brielle is very good at what she does.

Do any of you ever join in the treasure hunting?

I tried, but I don't have the patience.

Plus she won't let you keep anything you find.

You can keep any of the rubbish.

Brielle feels it's everyone's responsibility

to clean up where they hunt.

Because it is.

It's crazy the amount of trash that ends up in the ocean.

Mm.

Okay, I have a question.

What's the coolest thing you've ever found?

Hmm.

She found a Super Bowl ring.

Mm, yeah.

- Really? - Yeah.

That was actually my first real underwater discovery.

Well, Brielle used to lie face down

in the water for hours with her mask and snorkel on.

Yeah, I was watching some fish

when something shiny caught my eye.

And I looked over and I saw Brielle disappear

under the water.

It was stuck in some coral and it took a bit

to get it loose.

Well, and I didn't know

if she was ever going to come back up again.

So I started to go to her to see if she was okay,

when suddenly she pops up from underneath the water

with the biggest smile on her face and the ring in her hand.

But let me tell you, the smile on her face then

was pale in comparison to the smile

when she returned the ring to its owner.

Well, who was the owner?

John Hillcoat.

He had lost ring while surfing over 30 years earlier.

And of course, Bri wouldn't let him pay her for anything.

How did you find him?

I contacted the NFL.

You just casually contacted the NFL?

I found their number and they were very helpful.

And I think, I think that was,

that was the beginning of your passion.

The ocean floor is full of treasures,

just waiting to be found.

And speaking of your found treasures, the phone is dry.

I plugged it in and it's taking a charge.

No way!

Looks like it's powering up.

How will you figure out who it belongs to?

That's part of the fun.

Here we go.

It wants a passcode.

Let's see what we can do without it.

What does the wallpaper tell us?

It looks like newlyweds.

Maybe on their honeymoon?

Do you think it is his phone or hers?

Mm, I would say hers.

I agree.

If it was his phone it would probably just be a photo

of his wife.

Do you think you could access

the photos through the camera?

Let's see.

All right, if you go into here-

Brielle likes him.

Ohh.

- Hang on, we almost got it. - I know.

It's easy to see.

Okay.

We have loads of photos of feet in the sand.

Selfies, more selfies.

Even more selfies.

Oh wait, go back one.

Nice find.

Kevin and Amanda.

This will make it much easier.

There's a lot and found site for the islands,

and hopefully they posted on it.

I would say it would have to be a post

less than a few months old, for the phone to still work.

Look, right there.

Kevin and Amanda Roth.

And there's a, there's a contact number.

Let's give him a call.

Hello?

Hi, this is Brielle.

I'm from French Polynesia.

I found the phone in the water

and I think it might belong to your wife.

No way, are you serious?

Hang on just a second.

Babe, babe, come here, quick.

What is it?

Someone says they found your phone.

What?

My wife's here now, are you sure it's her phone?

Describe its wallpaper.

It's Kevin and I on the beach.

He's wearing blue shorts and I have on a pink swimsuit.

This is it.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe it.

Where did you find it?

Off the coast of Moorea.

That's where we had our honeymoon

just over a month ago.

Ah, thank you, thank you, thank you.

What was your name?

Brielle.

Brielle, Oh, that's so pretty.

I can't thank you enough.

It has all our honeymoon photos on it.

You have seriously made my month.

Let me get your address, and I will send it out to you.

Okay, here it is.

You know there is a Polynesian myth that says the universe

sprang forth from a coconut.

I've never heard that.

Well, it makes sense when you think about how important

a coconut was to sustaining those early islanders.

It gave them food, drink, and well,

even thatch for a shelter.

What other myths are there?

Ah, well let's see.

Do you, do you know the legend of the Tahitian Black Pearl?

- Mm - mm.

Well, it is said that pearls

were the first illustration of light.

They were used to illuminate the heavens

and guide us on our path.

And then they were given to the ocean to be set aglow.

And now, well now there are tokens

of our love and affection.

But, they still have the power to guide our pursuit of love.

So how was today?

It was nice.

Great weather, great wind.

And?

And great company.

Are you interested in him?

No.

Fine, I don't know, maybe?

I enjoy spending time together, but it doesn't matter.

His heart is still holding onto hope

that he can make things work out with Monica.

Can't he see what's right in front of him?

I said I would help him and that's what I'm going to do.

I will just suppress any feelings

and help him find the ring.

You're almost helpless.

Good thing you have me.

Marcus!

What are you doing?

Marcus?

Hey, Marcus.

Yeah?

Tomorrow morning we're going jet skiing.

We are?

And I was hoping that you could come with us.

Right now it's just the three of us,

and we wouldn't want Brielle feeling like a third wheel.

I'm sure he is busy, but-

I would love to.

Thanks for asking.

Call in the morning and make a reservation.

Keep up!

Go faster!

Yeah!

Oh, that was not good.

You nervous at all about the wedding?

Not really.

Pretty sure all I have to do is show up

and bring my parents.

Oh, if only it were that easy.

How did you know it was right?

Getting engaged?

Well, I mean more like how did you know

you wanted to marry Piper?

It was a culmination of things really.

One that stands out,

one night I had to like cram for this test.

I've been studying for hours,

just completely shut everything else out.

And Piper shows up, she has this burrito.

And I think I got engaged to her for that burrito alone.

Must have been some burrito.

But what it really was, was that she knew

what I needed before I did.

I wanted to do the same for her.

You having a good time?

Yeah, I guess.

I just feel bad for leaving Dad alone back at the house.

You don't have to feel bad for having fun.

And you don't always have to be doing something

for someone else.

I know, but I just don't-

You've always been like this.

You shouldn't be afraid to do something for you.

I don't know if I ever get a chance to.

You'll get the chance.

The important thing is when it comes,

you gotta grab on with two hands and hold on tight.

I saw that.

You saw nothing.

I know where you were looking.

Where are you taking me?

Don't worry, you're going love it.

Wow.

This is unreal.

I can't believe I didn't come see this

last time I was on leave.

How many days of leave do you get?

30 days a year.

But I saved up a whole bunch of days,

because I'm actually getting close to retiring.

Aren't you kind of young for that?

I enlisted when I was only 18, so, I'm ready.

For, I don't know, something different.

Do you at least have an idea of what you wanna do?

I thought I did.

Six months ago, I was sure that I did.

I guess I'm just trying to figure out

what's missing from my life.

But you know what?

I can't think of a more beautiful place to find answers.

Hi.

Which of these invitations do you like?

Let me see.

I like that one.

Oh good, that's one I picked, too.

It's going to be a beautiful wedding.

So, any luck finding the ring?

No, not yet.

Doesn't he only have a few days left?

Yeah, just a few.

Do you see things going anywhere with Marcus?

Don't get carried away.

I barely know him, and I know that nothing

can happen with Marcus.

But if things could, have you told him how you feel?

I don't even know how I feel.

Yes, you do.

And you should probably tell him, before it's too late.

What a haul today.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this.

You gotta be kidding me.

Everything okay?

Come on.

Is there anything I can do?

If I keep cranking the ignition that will only drain

the battery and could make the problem worse.

The starting sequence is correct.

The boat is not in gear and the battery monitor

says we have juice.

Where are the batteries?

Make sure they're switched to on or both.

It is switched to on.

Hm, that shouldn't have drained the batteries.

Try checking the battery cables.

Yeah, nothing is loose or corroded.

Are they damp at all?

Dry.

Hmm.

The sun is about to set.

Instead of trying to troubleshoot in the dark,

we have a few options.

What are they?

Well, there's no wind to sail

and I don't think we'll be able to get a tow at this hour.

So we can try calling some friends

to see if they can come pick us up.

But we'll be lucky if they would wanna come out in the dark.

Or we can sleep here on the boat,

and fix it as soon as the sun is up.

Not that sleeping on the boat is ideal,

but it looks like the weather should hold.

I'm all for night under the stars.

All right, let me just text my dad so he won't worry.

I hope it hasn't been weird spending time with my family.

Not at all.

Something I haven't really experienced much in my life.

My mom left us when I was young,

and my father was in the Navy, so I never saw him much.

We weren't close.

When he passed away a few years ago,

I was surprised how it didn't feel that much different,

because I never heard from him when he was alive.

No brothers or sisters?

No.

What you have with your father and sister is beautiful.

What was your mother like?

I think the best word to describe her is selfless.

She would just do anything for anyone.

What happened to her?

Brain tumor.

I'm sorry.

It was too much for my father to see her like that.

She spent months in the hospital over in Tahiti.

Every day I took the ferry and spent the day

sitting by her side, praying for a miracle.

Must have been hard on you too, seeing her in pain.

It was, but I like to think about the good.

She was kind, honest, wise, and giving.

She was the one who taught me the importance

of being thankful for the small things

and to live life to my very best.

You seemed to inherit all her best qualities.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Let's see if we can get the boat started.

Like any engine, we need three things

to start and run properly.

Air, fuel and?

A spark to ignite the air fuel mixture.

And you already checked the flame arrestor.

And we're good on fuel.

Which means the spark.

I recently replaced these so they should work.

Hmm.

You sure You don't wanna just call on a tow?

Are you doubting I can fix this?

No, no, I just-

If I'm ever going to go out to sea,

I need to be able to fix things myself.

I can respect that.

Cut me some of that electrical tape.

Let me try splicing the spark live wires.

Where did you learn all this?

Watching my dad.

All right, let's see if this

is what was causing our troubles.

Cross your fingers.

Success.

I'm impressed.

Since we're already out here,

do you wanna keep searching, or head back to shore?

I'm down to keep searching if you are.

Sure.

Hey, check these out.

Do you think any of them could have pearls?

Maybe.

Some don't have any at all,

but others may have quite a few.

Oh wow.

These are amazing.

Look at the-

Could this be hers?

I can't tell for sure.

How do you usually clean these?

Usually some vinegar.

But this should work.

We just let it soak for a while,

and then we use a toothbrush.

And I do have a few of those.

Marcus, the time we spent together has been really...

I know.

I, I feel the same.

You do?

It's been really nice having a, a friend.

I wonder if by holding on to what could have been,

I'm missing out on something else.

I know that you still have feelings for someone else.

You shouldn't give up on making

what you have with Monica work.

The ring might be ready.

Here it is.

Oh, wow.

It's hers.

See the inscription right there?

We found it.

So, does that mean you'll be leaving soon?

Yeah, I guess.

We should head back to shore.

Do you mind if we stop by your place before I go,

just to say thanks to your family and goodbye?

Of course.

Wow.

I mean, I can't believe you found the ring.

I mean, what are the chances?

I know.

It was meant to be.

We're sorry to see you go.

Hopefully everything works out with Monica.

Thank you.

You've all been so nice and it was great to spend time here.

I think my father's out back,

he would be upset if he didn't say goodbye.

Yeah.

Used to guide us in our pursuit of love, hmm.

I could assure you some guidance now.

What guidance do you need?

I didn't see you there.

But I saw you.

And I heard you.

A part of me feels like I shouldn't leave.

What should I do?

Well I want to tell you that I, I think you should stay,

but I do not want you or my daughter hurt

by putting my wishes above your own.

Brielle always puts other people's wishes above her own.

Do you love my daughter?

I think so.

There is your answer.

Until you know so, perhaps you should not enter

into any commitment.

Marcus, your heart needs perception to know what to do.

Your answer will come in time, and when it does,

you will not be able to deny it.

Thank you, for the ride, and for seeing me off.

Of course.

I hope everything works out for you.

Thanks.

Oh, I almost forgot.

- No, no. - Here.

Please, take it.

You don't have to pay me.

You're going to miss the ferry.

See ya.

Bye.

Do you like it?

Should I take it in at the waist?

I love it, you look so beautiful.

I wish Mom was here for this.

She's watching over us with a big smile on her face.

I'm so happy for you.

I'm sorry things didn't work out with Marcus.

It's for the best.

Don't you miss him?

Of course I do, but it wasn't meant to be,

and he's moving on with his life

and I think I need to do the same.

I love the color.

Right? It'll look so good on you.

It's beautiful.

It's beautiful!

It all feels so pretty.

Hi, I need to book a flight to French Polynesia.

The soonest one you have.

Every seat is booked?

What about standby?

Can you please check for any available flights

in the next 48 hours?

No, that's not a problem.

I'll take it.

Thank you, thank you so much.

Those look beautiful.

Merci.

Can I do some?

Sure, let me help you.

No, no, no, no, I can, can do it myself.

You are always sacrificing so no one else has to.

It was his choice.

Well, I'm not just talking about Marcus.

Oh.

You are such a giving person, just like your mother.

But you need to learn to say no sometimes

without feeling bad about it.

But you need my help.

Yes, yes, I do need your help,

but you need to let me do some things without you.

Let me fix dinner, clean the house, help with the tours.

I thought you were supposed to-

I miss being on the water.

I would love to see you back out on the ocean.

Well I can do it.

And you go and make your dreams a reality.

And I know that you would not be able to enjoy yourself

because you would be too worried about me.

So Piper and Travis have agreed

to stay with me while you go.

Really?

I will have to work around their school schedule,

but you can start making plans.

Here, let me help you.

You look great.

Nice.

Who are you looking for?

Oh, just making sure everyone I invited is here.

This is a great day, Papa.

Oui.

I was the first man in Puaiti's life,

and in time we had many first experiences.

The first birthday, the first fish,

the first day at school and the first broken heart.

I have watched my little princess

grow into a beautiful woman.

And now I want nothing more than to dance with my Piper.

To Piper and Travis.

To Piper and Travis.

Is that?

Travis, my cane.

Phillipe, hey.

I am sorry I'm late.

Flight was delayed, taxi trouble.

I almost missed the ferry.

You name it, it was-

I'm glad you made it,

but we both know the real reason you are here.

Yeah, the answer did come.

I know with certainty.

You must tell her that, not me.

May I have this dance?

Marcus, you're here.

Your dad made sure I got an invitation.

Hey.

Did you give her the ring?

You know, I didn't need to.

I realized it was over between us.

I was, I was holding onto the idea of love,

but it was with the wrong person.

It was?

I made something for you.

You made this?

Yeah.

These are the pearls that I found when I was with you.

They're beautiful.

May I?

Love it.

Searching for that ring brought me to you.

Being with you and your family,

showed me what was possible, and I don't wanna lose that.

I may not know what I want to do with the rest of my life,

but I do know that I want you in it.

You got everything?

Everything I need is right here.

You two better get going, eh?

Thank you so much for this.

We'll see you in a month.

Have a good time.

Safe travels.

Love you.

Wouldn't wanna lose these.

You ready?

Definitely.

- See you guys! - Have so much fun,

send photos!

Bonjour, be safe!

- We love you! - Goodbye, and good luck!
