[lively music]

[chuckles]

[Sean whistles]

Pretty incredible.

Pretty incredible.

A couple of months ago, it was only a dream.

[Mitch] Well, you think you got enough to work with?

[Sean] I'’d say so.

Oh, wow.

This equipment is so cool.

I can'’t wait to get a work out in. How did you pull this off?

-[Mitch] Don'’t ask. -Look at this view.

Now I understand what you'’ve been doing when you'’re not around.

-I could work here. -[Dawn] Where did you get the money?

From a lot of different sources.

Look at this place. See all that gear?

Ah, I like that flag.

[Mitch] Ah, heads up. We got company.

It'’s the Governor.

Hey, Governor Cayetano. Thank you for coming.

-Hello, Mitch. -Let me show you around the place.

Governor, I'’d like you to meet our team. Sean Monroe. Governor Cayetano.

-Pleasure. -Hi, Jessie Owens.

Jack Darius. It'’s an honor.

Hi, Dawn Masterton.

Kekoa Tanaka.

Allie Reese.

And Jason.

When you approved construction on the new lifeguard training centers,

this what you had in mind?

No, this really exceeds all my expectations.

Thank you and the people of Hawaii very much.

You're welcome, Mitch. This Center is about making the beaches of Hawaii safer.

And I'’ll take every opportunity that I have to support that.

I know that the people of Hawaii will support it.

Great.

[man] Baywatch Hawaii, this is Group Honolulu. Do you read me?

-Our first official call, Mitch. -He loves this.

Coast Guard, this is Baywatch Hawaii. Go ahead.

[man] Two scuba divers are trapped on the rocks off Makapu'’u.

The only exit is from the sea. Coast Guard will assist if necessary.

[woman] Help! Help us! We're stuck!

Back off! Back off!

The surf'’s too high and the current'’s too strong.

They'’re gonna be crushed on those rocks. If I go in, I'’ll be crushed, too.

[Allie] Jason, don'’t try it. The current will take it right out from under you.

Jason! Don'’t, you'll be crushed.

Jason, do you hear me? Don'’t try it!

[woman screaming]

Wait. Do you know the old "Belt and Reel" we used in Australia?

-Yeah, it'’d be perfect. -Okay.

This end around me. Tie that end to the boat.

I'’m the belt. You're the reel.

-When I get to them, you pull us out. -Got it.

[Allie] I want a chance to time these waves.

[Allie] No, not this one. It'’s too big.

Can you get in there, Allie?

[woman screams]

[Sean] Allie, any sign of them?

-[Allie] Yeah, there'’s somebody. -[woman] Help me! Help!

[screams]

[Sean] Jason, wait!

Ja-- Jason, back off. Stay out of there.

[tense music]

Let'’s get the woman. Belt and reel, remember?

[Allie] I'’ll go in. You reel me up.

[gasps]

[woman] Help!

[pants]

[woman] Oh.

[Allie] Reel. Right now!

[Allie] Keep going. Now, go! Go!

[opening theme song]

Who are you dressing for?

Mr. Nicholas Montgomery.

Who?

The Coastie.

-Oh, the cute Rescue Swimmer? -Yeah. He'’s flying today with Allie.

-You wanna get his attention? -Oh, I think she already has that.

I wanna look attractive, maybe even a little provocative.

-But not obvious. -[Allie] Exactly.

Go with the halter top.

-Yeah? -[Dawn] Yeah.

Pull it a bit lower.

Lower?

Show him your tan lines. It drives them crazy.

-Ooh. -No, I can'’t.

[knocking on the door]

You are not gonna believe this. Sean's sending Jason home.

-Impossible. -It'’s true.

Oh, my God, we'’ve got to stop him.

Sean, you can'’t cut him from the team.

-[Kekoa] He'’s too good. -[Allie] He'’s the best athlete we have.

-Nobody'’s better at a jet ski pick-up. -Or underwater.

-[Jessie] Or a walk-in rescue. -He'’s like a fish.

Sean, sending him home now would be crazy.

Allie, is that a new uniform you'’re wearing?

Sean, don'’t duck the issue.

What'’s going on?

[sighs] Sean'’s sending Jason home.

[JD scoffs] It'’s about time.

[Jessie] JD.

Wait, I thought you were kidding.

You'’re not serious?

Sean, Jason's never felt like he belonged anywhere.

He'’s starting to feel like he belongs here.

You toss him out on the beach and he'’s just gonna dry up and be lost forever.

Has everyone finished?

-Yeah. -Said what you had to say?

Sean, you can'’t let him go.

Now has everyone said what they had to say?

-Yeah. -Good.

JD, schedule says,

"Banzai Pipeline. Map the bottom, aerial survey the top."

-[Sean] Correct? -That'’s right.

Then why is everyone still here?

He'’s such a hard ass.

Come on. Let'’s get to the Pipeline. Allie, where'’s Nick?

He'’s meeting me at the chopper.

I'’ll go with Allie, unless that'’s a problem?

[Kekoa] Dawn'’s right there with me, picking out Allie'’s wardrobe.

[Jessie] She'’s heard Allie talking about Nick.

[Kekoa] And that was what Allie was looking forward to.

Getting to know Nick, vice-versa.

Yeah, there'’s no reason that Dawn should be in that chopper.

Well, you know Dawn. She'’s always got a reason.

-She'’s so unbelievable. -[scoffs]

You know what?

-That is who Sean should be sending home. -Exactly.

I'’m not the weak link.

[Jason] I'’m not getting sent home.

Not without a fight.

You seem to think that making a rescue is all that this is about.

You'’re an individual, and I need you to be a part of a team.

I don'’t see what you're so upset about what happened yesterday.

I made the rescue. You wanted me to get the guy. I got him.

There'’s more to it than that, Jason.

A lot more.

We'’re gonna spend some time here together at Sandy Beach.

At the end of this shift,

I'’m gonna tell you whether you stay on this team or--

Stop right there. Don'’t finish that.

I don'’t want to hear what follows "or" because there is no "or."

Sean, I have to be on this team.

I can'’t go back to Texas.

It'’s either here or nowhere.

[Jason] Today I'’ll make the greatest save you'’ve ever seen, three or four of them.

Send the rest home. I'’ll cover this entire beach.

You think making a spectacular rescue will keep you?

-It won'’t? -No, it won'’t.

[Jason] Then what the hell do you want from me?

I'’ve done everything you'’ve asked me to do.

Jumped off cliffs. Swam for miles.

Under the water, on top of the water, learned jet ski pick-ups.

I want you to change the way you think.

How I think? That'’s what this is about?

That'’s what this is about.

I don'’t understand what thinking has to do with it.

I don'’t think when I'm in the water. I react. I feel it.

I see that victim, I'’m gonna get him.

You feel the risk, feel the currents, feel the water.

You don'’t think it.

-What the job, Jason? -A lifeguard.

-What'’s a lifeguard? -Come on, Sean.

-What'’s a lifeguard? -A person who saves lives.

Wrong answer. Look.

To understand something, you have to break it down in its simplest form.

Now, what'’s a lifeguard? Break it down.

Someone who guards lives.

Right. You guard lives.

You go into the water to save a victim as the last resort.

I call it Risk Management.

[muttering] Risk Management.

-[Sean] What do you think of this beach? -Sandy'’s?

Great place to boogie-board, body surf. Probably one of the best in Hawaii.

[Sean] But if you come unprepared or unaware,

can be one of the most dangerous beaches in Hawaii.

-[Jason] That'’s true. -[Sean] Look out there. What do you see?

-[Jason] Beach, water, waves, people. -[Sean] All right.

The water, the waves. They'’re the hazards.

Put hazards together with people, you have risk.

Your job is Risk Management.

-Sorry, I don'’t follow. -Okay, okay.

Can you eliminate the hazards?

-The water? No. -Can you eliminate the people?

-You want me to clear the beach? -If you can, you job'’s done.

Without people, this beach is 100% safe.

-That'’s not gonna happen. -Right.

So your job is to manage those two items

to allow them to come together as safely as possible.

If you can learn that today,

then you can stay on the team.

[action music]

-Beautiful day. -Uh-huh.

-I think I'’m gonna come about. -Okay, sweetheart.

[Ted] Damn, that halyard'’s come undone.

I gotta go get it.

Honey, can you get me that wench handle?

-No problem. -[Ted] Thanks, hon.

Oh, darn.

I told you that might happen.

I need that for my back.

[Ted] I know, babe.

I really need that wench handle.

[Ettienne] Okay.

[Ettienne] Oh, Ted!

[Ted] Ettienne!

Here, grab this!

[Ted] You okay? You hurt?

[Ettienne] Of course, I'’m okay.

I can still swim.

[Ted]} You scared me to death.

Ted, why didn'’t you just turn around and come back?

All I could think about was you and the baby.

That'’s the sweetest thing you could have done.

Give us a kiss. Mm.

We'’ll be okay.

-[sighs] -We'll be okay.

Hi, Nick.

Uh, Dawn, right?

-How are you doing? -Never better.

-Hi, Allie. -Hi.

I brought you something. It'’s an official AST patch.

-Thank you. -I thought you might like it.

I only brought one. Sorry.

Another time.

Right.

Excuse me. I have to do a pre-flight.

Oh, I wish there was a hole I could crawl into.

Why? What do you mean?

It'’s obvious. I thought this was a training flight.

-[Nick] It is. -Come on, Nick.

It'’s like a date between you and Allie. At least, that'’s what you expected.

I wish I knew why she insisted I come along. I feel like a fifth wheel.

Of course, now that I see you out of your uniform,

[Dawn] I'’m just sorry she got you first.

[chuckles]

We'’re ready if you are.

Where do you want me?

Right beside me.

[Nick laughs]

[action music]

[Dawn] Do you know what makes a Coast Guard rescue swimmer special?

They never give up.

Once they start, they won'’t quit.

-Isn'’t that right, Nick? -Pretty much.

Everything in their training, way back to the selection process,

it'’s not just about strength or speed,

it'’s also about having an indomitable will.

It'’s fascinating, isn't it, Allie?

To know that you'’ve been selected for that trait.

It must be difficult to live up to.

The fear of failure.

Ah, not so far.

You haven'’t come up against the right challenge.

Very well could be.

Coming up on the Pipeline.

[Nick] There it is. There's the reef that creates the Banzai Pipeline.

You know what makes it so special is, it'’s almost vertical.

When the waves from the winter storms hit it... Pow!

As the Hawaiian say, "five-men high."

Five men, that'’s 30 feet.

And that'’s measuring from the back of the waves,

not the front like they do down in Australia.

Wow, that'’s incredible.

So, Nick, tell me, where did you get your training

to become a Coast Guard Aviation Survival Technician?

Actually, it'’s a combination of three different schools.

First, it'’s beautiful Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Then they ship us down to the Navy Rescue Survival School in Pensacola.

Florida? You ever skip down to Key West for Pina Coladas?

-They'’re the best. -[Nick laughs] You bet.

Spent one weekend down there. Man, almost ended up being AWOL.

[Dawn laughs]

The third is Advanced Rescue in Astoria, Oregon.

How did you know?

[chuckles]

[man overlapping] This weekend at the Banzai Pipeline.

It's winning the chronic action. Pipeline. Banzai. Watch them fall.

This is it?

This is the famous Banzai Pipeline?

Yeah, well, without the Banzai.

We'’re here now because there are no big waves.

We shoot the bottom with these new digital cameras.

identify the holes, the reefs, any irregularities.

Remember, the bottom always determines what happens on top.

Cool.

[circus music]

[Sean] Who on this beach could have trouble in the water?

[Jason] That family. Mainlanders.

Father sees the locals out there, wants to give it a try it.

-He'’s backing off for now, but-- -He'’s gonna take his shot, right?

We'’ll have to watch him.

What would be a better way to manage the risk?

Don'’t let him go in the water.

Excuse me.

-Hi, how'’s it going? -Hi.

I'’m a lifeguard. I just want to let you guys know that I'’m here

so that you can enjoy the beach.

-Have we done something wrong? -No, it'’s just...

This is a gorgeous beach.

It'’s also one of the most dangerous beaches in the world.

We have a high incident for cervical injuries.

Cervical injuries?

Yeah, back and neck. See, it'’s from the shore break.

[Jasaon] The water gets suck back out, if you don'’t know what you'’re doing,

you'’re gonna get slammed head first into the sand.

There'’s no cushion.

-My God. -See these people out here?

They'’ve been doing this for most of their lives.

They make it look easy.

It'’s not.

Thanks. Thanks for warning us.

It'’s my job. I tell you what. Right up the street is Hanauma Bay.

It'’s one of the rarest beaches in the world. Kids will love it.

It'’s clean and clear. There'’s fish everywhere.

-It'’ll blow your mind. -Good.

I can'’t tell you how much we appreciate this.

That'’s what I'm here for.

[father] Okay, kids. Wanna go to Hanauma Bay and see fish?

-Thanks again. -You'’re welcome.

Now, that may be the best rescue you make all day.

-Yeah. -I'’ve wasted enough time here with you.

-I'’m going back to Hale'iwa. -Hey.

-Thanks. -For what?

I want a full report when you'’re done. I still might send your ass home.

[Sean laughs]

[helicopter whirring]

Look.

[Dawn] What do you see?

[Allie] It looks like an air mattress blowing in the wind.

What'’s it doing way out here?

I don'’t know.

[Ettienne] Ooh.

[Ted] You okay?

Yeah, I just need to catch my breath.

Oh.

-[Ted] What? -Just a little cramp.

-A cramp? -Oh!

-What? -Oh, no.

-Not now. -What is it?

[Ettienne pants]

I'’m going into labor.

[stammering] You can'’t.

Oh, yes, I can.

[Ettienne pants]

[Ettienne moans]

[guy] Are we gonna do some body-boarding, or what?

Let'’s get out there and do this. Nice today, isn't it?

Hey. How'’s it going, guys?

-What'’s up? -Been surfing here a lot, have you?

-No. Is that a problem? -[Jason] No, it'’s just that...

It'’s a very dangerous piece of water. If you'’re not experienced...

What about all them?

Mostly locals.

-So, it'’s locals only? -No, not at all.

Every beach in Hawaii is open to the public.

Then, what'’s the problem?

Well, you guys haven'’t been here for long. The water'’s different here.

-[guy exhales] -[Jason] This beach has the highest

incident for neck and spinal injuries.

Let me ask you.

Do you have the authority to keep me out?

No.

Then get out of my face, Cabana Boy.

If I need a towel, I'’ll let you know.

[Tony] All right.

[guys laughing]

[guy] Sure, about right.

Oh! Yeah!

[tense music]

We'’re coming up on a sailboat.

I don'’t think anyone's on it.

-[Dawn] See anybody? -[Nick] They could be below deck.

Let'’s wake them up.

[helicopter whirring]

Wow, even if they'’re asleep, there'’s no way they can't hear that noise.

Hale'’iwa Harbor Master, this is Hawaii Helicopter November 5-7-9-9 Zulu.

Can you run me a check on a sailing sloop, the Lorna Dune The Second?

[man] Stand by, November 5-7-9-9 Zulu.

-Oh! -Honey?

I think my water broke.

No. No, you'’ve got to stop it.

We can'’t have the baby out here.

-Hold it back! -Hold it back? He'’s coming! He's coming!

-Oh, my God. -[Ettienne moans]

Okay, I'’m going to need your help.

-[Ettienne pants] -[softly] Okay, okay.

[man] November 5-7-9-9 Zulu, this is Hale'’iwa Harbor Master.

[Allie] November 5-7-9-9 Zulu, here.

[man] The Lorna Dune 2 is registered out of Hale'’iwa

to Mr. And Mrs. Theodore and Ettienne Warner.

I know them. Both locals. Both experienced.

As far as I know, they just went for an afternoon sail.

- Is there a problem? -Not sure. We'’re above the boat now.

There doesn'’t seem to be anyone on-board.

-[man] Any way to be sure? -[Allie] Stand by, One.

-Do you have a rope? -What are you gonna do?

There'’s a line trailing off the stern.

If you can get me close, I can probably climb on board.

There'’s some line in the back with emergency equipment.

Here, this will keep us in touch.

A cell phone?

It'’s a pager, a beeper, sends e-mail. It'’s a two-way radio, also.

Just push the button right here, okay?

Harbor Master, this is November Zulu.

We are gonna board the Lorna Dune the Second.

Okay.

Yeah, a little to the right.

A little lower.

Okay, he'’s safely in.

[tense music]

-[Dawn] Doesn'’t look like he found anyone. -[Nick] Allie, can you hear me?

-[Allie] We hear you. Go ahead. -[Nick] Nobody'’s here. The boat's empty.

Group Honolulu, this is Hawaii Helicopter November 5-7-9-9 Zulu.

We're about a mile and a half south, southwest of Ka'’ena Point.

Sailboat adrift, passengers presumed overboard.

[man] We read you, Hawaii Helicopter.

We'’ll contact Barber's Point for a helo launch. Stand by.

You can reach me on UNICOM Frequency 123.0.

Allie? We hear you, Allie. You need back-up?

[Allie] Coast Guard'’s sending a boat and a helo, but you'’re a lot closer.

We'’re on our way.

Let'’s go.

[Dawn] We'’re gonna go back and look for who may have fallen off the boat.

I'’ll go with you.

-How'’s he gonna get back up? -We have no way to pick you up.

[Nick] Look, you could need me. Lower the rope till it touches the water.

-[Dawn] And then what? -I'’ll climb up.

-He can do that? -I guess he can.

[tense music]

[Nick groans]

[Nick] Now let'’s see if we can find those missing people.

[tense music intensifies]

[mysterious music]

[guy screams]

[tense music]

[guy moans]

Put me down!

Put me down! Help me.

-Please. No, please. -On my count. One, two, three.

No, don'’t put me down. Stand me up.

Please, please, stand me up.

-Please, no. -Ready?

[guy] My legs. Stand me up. Please, stand me up.

One, two, three.

-[guy crying] No, no. -Got him?

[Jason] One, two, three.

[guy cries]

[lifeguard] One...

[guy crying] My legs. I can'’t feel my legs.

Tony, help me.

[crying] Mom.

Mom, please, please.

Calm down, buddy. Calm down.

-[guy cries] -[Jason] Try to relax.

[guy continues crying]

[crying] I can'’t feel my legs.

Help me.

Do something.

[continues crying]

[Ettienne moans] He'’s coming.

[stammering] I don'’t know what to do.

Remember the Lamaze class. We'’re supposed to breath or something.

-Lamaze? -Yes.

Okay, okay.

Is Lamaze gonna work out here? I don'’t have a pillow.

Well, at least we can breathe.

Help me breathe!

-Okay, okay. Inhale. -Okay.

-[Ettienne inhales] -Okay, exhale.

-[Ettienne exhales] -[Ted exhales]

This is insane. Ettienne, this is insane.

We are going to have this baby.

Now, let'’s make sure that you and me

-and the baby survive. -Okay.

-Okay. -Okay.

[Allie] JD, this is Allie.

We think we'’ve got the couple spotted two miles southwest of Kawela Bay.

Allie, we'’re 20 minutes from your position.

Wait, there'’s two people in the water.

Do we have any life vests or anything?

-Here. -[Allie] Baywatch Hawaii, Coast Guard.

This is November Zulu.

We have two people in the water off Kawela Bay.

Bearing 2-7-3.

All right. I'’m going in.

-Hi, there. -How are you guys doing?

Are you having fun? I brought you some life vests.

I want you to put these on. Everything'’s gonna be fine.

Help'’s gonna be here in no time.

-Thank God you'’re here. -We got a big problem.

Not to worry. The Coast Guard and the Baywatch boats are on their way.

-That'’s not the problem. -I'’m having a baby.

-[Ted] That'’s the problem. -Ah, jeez.

Allie, we got a woman in labor.

Not labor. He'’s coming.

He'’s here. Oh, God! He's coming!

[Ettienne moans]

Okay, hold it steady. I'’m going in.

She'’s giving birth now?

[man] Hawaii Helicopter November 5-7-9-9 Zulu.

This is Coast Guard Rescue 6-5-3-9.

We are approximately five minutes away and closing. Over.

[Allie] Roger, Coast Guard. Woman in labor.

[man] What do you mean, in labor?

[Allie] I mean, the baby'’s on its way.

[Ettienne moans]

Extra vests, thermal blanket...

Some fresh water.

-Here, for the umbilical cord. -Ah.

Okay, scissors.

Nick, I'’m coming to help.

It'’s as low as I can get.

[tense music]

[Ettienne] Hurry, please. It'’s coming. I can feel it coming.

[Ettienne moans]

-All right. -Okay.

Everything'’s going to be okay.

The latest birthing technique has the baby immersed.

-Really? [Dawn] Granted it doesn'’t have

saline content, but, yes.

We'’re gonna get you in the delivery position.

-Any chance you took Lamaze? -[Ettienne] We took it.

Then you know the routine?

-Yeah. -[Dawn] Okay, let'’s go.

-Okay, breathe. -[Ettienne breathes loudly]

[moans]

Will you hold this for the baby?

Inflate-- Hold this.

You wanna catch?

You catch.

-[Nick] You got it? -[Ted] Okay, I got it.

-Turn around. Delivery position. -[Ettienne] Okay.

[screams]

[Ettienne breathes loudly]

[Ettienne moans]

-[Ted] Hang in there. -[Ettienne screams]

[Ted] Hang on, honey. That's it. Push.

-[Ettienne moans] -[Ted] Push!

[Ettienne continues moaning]

-[Ettienne pants] -[baby cries]

-[Dawn] Look. -[Ted] Oh, my God.

[baby cries]

Lady, you got yourself some baby.

-Oh. -[Dawn] She'’s beautiful.

Really, totally beautiful.

[baby cries]

[Allie] It'’s a girl, a beautiful baby girl.

Ah.

Now I'’ve seen everything.

[frantic music]

-Hey. -Hey.

I heard what happened.

-Broke his neck. -Yeah, I know.

I couldn'’t stop him.

-Sometimes it works that way, kid. -I don'’t know why I let him get in.

-I should've knocked him on his ass and-- -No, no, no. You did your job.

Did I?

It'’s like you said.

It was exactly like you said.

I knew what was gonna happen since the minute I saw that idiot.

Maybe if I approached him different.

Might not have helped.

-He wasn'’t even much older than me. -[Sean] It'’s like I told you.

To do this job you have to deal with death and dying.

Sean, a twenty-something-year-old guy

is gonna be crippled for the rest of his life.

I don'’t know, is that worse than death?

I don'’t know, either.

[sighs]

-Come on, let'’s go. -[Jason] No.

I need a swim.

Want some company?

Yeah, sure.
