-Bob: all right, let's
hoist her aboard here, huh?
[Laughs]
Ooh wee, that is
a beautiful sight.
[Laughs]
Johnny, me boy,
it looks like
We're gonna have a
great day today, huh?
-[Dramatic music]
-Anything?
-Just a fishing
boat up ahead.
-Bob: give me your
hand, nicky me boy.
[Screaming]
-Johnny! Johnny!
Johnny!
-[Suspenseful music]
-I think they're in
trouble, let's go.
-Nicky: over here!
Over here!
Johnny! Johnny!
-Johnny: whoa!
-[Sirens]
-Nicky: over here!
Over here!
Save us!
Help!
My brother fell
out of the boat!
I don't know
where he is!
-April, lani,
get them on board.
-[Moans]
-Lani: help me.
-April: okay!
No pulse, begin cpr.
-One, two,
three, four, five.
One, two,
three, four, five.
-Come on.
-He's gonna be all right.
-J.d.: One, two,
three, four, five.
-[Coughing]
-[Sighs]
-Oh man, oh man, I must've
aged another 10 years.
You folks saved me, you
saved me, you saved my boys.
And you saved my
catch. [Laughs]
I owe ya.
I'm captain bob.
-J.d.
This is is april, lani.
-It's a pleasure
to meet ya all.
-Pleased to meet you.
-[Rattling engine]
-[Coughing]
-[Car backfires]
-[Coughing]
-Think I need a
mechanic to fix it.
-Yeah, or a priest
to give it last rites.
-Probably threw a rod,
maybe cracked a head.
Could've seized the engine.
-Cody, do you even know
what you're talking about?
-Absolutely not.
My dad used to
say those things,
I never really
learned about cars.
-Well I thought that was a
required course, macho 101.
-Guess I flunked.
You know anything
about cars?
-Eh, some.
-What do you think it's
gonna take to fix this?
-Honestly, a miracle.
-Seriously, what am
I looking at here?
-1200 Bucks minimum.
-Oh.
It is a miracle.
-[Coughs]
-[Sneeze]
-Bless you!
-Thanks, I think
I'm getting a cold.
-So, what does captain bob
do with all those sea urchins?
-He must sell 'em to sushi
bars or export them to japan.
-April: well why japan?
-Well they're considered
a delicacy in the far east.
-Well, what part
do you eat?
I thought it
was all shell.
-You see, cr*ck
it open like an egg
And then you
eat the insides.
-Uh, sounds gross.
-All I know is they sell
for 500 dollars a pound.
Oh and get this, captain bob
said we can dive with him
And we could keep
half of what we catch.
-Have you ever dove
for sea urchins before?
-No, but how
hard could it be?
-Mitch: hey, why
are you so late?
-Cody: oh, car broke
down this morning.
Had to wait for the tow truck,
took 'em forever to get here.
-Mitch: what happened?
-Cody: I either froze
a rod or blew a gasket.
I don't know, you
have to ask jordan.
-Mitch: jordan?
-Cody: jordan.
-Mitch: nice surf, huh?
-Cody: yeah.
So anyway, now I have
to decide whether to
Buy another car or fix
that piece of junk.
-That's a tough call.
-Not really, I'm broke.
Hey, what are my
chances of getting
Some extra
hours this month?
-I don't know,
You have to talk to
lieutenant walsh about that.
-Can't you at least put
in a good word for me?
-I don't know,
she's pretty tough
About changing
the schedule.
-[Soft music]
-What's up?
What are you looking for?
-Mitch: right on time.
Okay, your day begins.
Horses are not
allowed on the beach.
I want you to
get her name,
Address, occupation, and um
Cite her.
-A citation?
-Yeah, new procedure.
-All right.
-[Mitch humming]
[Laughing]
[Whistling]
-Cody: 'morning.
-Hi.
-Listen, sorry
to spoil your fun
But horses aren't
allowed on the beach.
I'm gonna have to get your
name, address, occupation.
-Oh, well my name's jenny
wade, I'm a horse trainer.
I live over at decker
canyon, 22250, but i...
-I hate to give you
a citation, but um...
-Jenny: a citation?
-Cody: new procedure.
-My horse is recuperating
from an operation,
He needs the footing
on the beach.
The only legal beach
for horses is where
The rich and famous live and
I don't qualify for either.
-I know, but I just...
There's nothing I
can do about it.
-That's okay cody.
Hi, I'm mitch, captain
mitch buchannon.
-Hi.
-I don't think we
have to give miss uh?
-Jenny: wade.
-Miss wade a citation.
We should just give her a
warning, don't you think?
-Obey all the rules and
you miss all the fun.
-Katharine hepburn.
-That's right.
And thanks.
-Have a nice day.
-Jenny: thanks, I will.
-[Mitch sighs]
-Uh, uh, uh,
not so fast.
I should've known when you
insisted on giving me a ride
To my tower this morning
that something was going on.
You set me up.
-Me?
[Laughing]
All right, I did
set you up.
She's been riding on
the beach every morning
For the last five
days at the same time.
I just had to
meet her, man.
-And make an impression.
-Well I hope so.
-So what's your
next move, casanova?
-Well that's for me to
know, and you to envy.
[Laughs]
-Riding lessons?
-Yeah.
Bugged me to death about
taking riding lessons.
-When I was
nine years old.
-Well, better late
than never I always say.
-No, what you always say
Is be honest with
yourself and others.
So come on, give it up.
-No, it's no big deal.
It's just that I know
how much you want
To take riding lessons and I
met this really great teacher.
-Who's the guy that's
gonna be teaching me?
-Um, it's not a
guy, it's a girl.
And, you'll love her,
she is totally awesome.
Oh! [Grunts]
Empty, milk, put
milk on the list.
-So, how awesome is she?
And who exactly is
it that'll love her?
-Hobie, she is so
awesome that I cannot
Get on a horse in front of
her, I'll look like a geek.
-Oh, but it's okay for
me to look like a geek?
-Yeah.
-Thanks.
That awesome huh?
-That awesome.
-Then you know what I always
say, what are sons for, right?
If not to help their
old man get a date.
-Cody: sea urchins?
-Come on, do you know how
much money we could make?
-Do you know how
dangerous that is?
It's not like
digging for clams.
In hawaii I knew someone
who stepped on a sea urchin,
Had the spines get
stuck in his foot
And had to have them
surgically removed.
You guys have no idea
what you're getting into.
-We're getting into three
to 500 dollars a day.
-Each?
-Each.
-Well they just faxed
over your estimate
From the auto shop.
What did I say
it would cost?
-1200 Bucks,
were you right?
-What do I
know about cars?
-2000 Bucks?
For that piece of junk?
-I'll call captain
bob, tell him you're in.
-2000 Bucks!
Oh my god.
-Now, the beauty of this
hooka rig is that you don't
Have to carry around
the heavy t*nk you see.
As long as I keep the
generator going, you can walk
Along the bottom, see the
urchins, and just drop em.
Just to your
heart's content.
-What's the matter? Aren't
you coming with us?
-I can't dive today, this
cold's got me all stuffed up.
It wouldn't be safe.
-We're gonna miss
you out there.
-Remember what I told you,
Wear your gloves and
use the urchin rake.
-Your what?
-You know, the
tweezer thing.
-Hey, listen to her!
She knows her stuff.
-Yeah, my dad thought
he could get rich
Diving for sea
urchins in hawaii.
-We'll be fine.
-Cody: [faking
a sneeze] achoo!
Let's go boys,
let's do it!
-[Gentle music]
-Looking good, deb,
keep your heels down,
You're locking
your elbows again.
Loosen up a little.
Very nice.
That a girl.
Take this line
on the rail.
Don't chase him into
it, let him just come.
Very very nice.
Very nice.
Take the second, perfect.
Nice work.
Take this next
over here.
Good girl,
that's better.
Much better.
That's so much better than the
last time you took that jump.
Almost perfect.
Keep your heels down.
Take this vertical.
Very very nice.
Very nice.
Okay, let's
call it quits.
Walk him out, good job.
-Hey.
-Man, I wish I
could ride like that.
-Well you can, if you're
willing to work hard.
It just has to be something
that you really want.
Okay guys, that's
it for today.
Walk out your horses and
then give 'em to antonio.
Good work.
Hobie's a great kid.
You must be very proud.
-More than you know.
-It's a pleasure
teaching him.
He's got some talent, a
good seat, a lot of guts.
-[Mitch laughs]
Looks like he's enjoying
a little bit more
Than just the
riding, huh?
-Like father, like son?
-[Horse whinnies]
There he is, max.
Come on, I'll
introduce you.
Muchas gracias, antonio.
Mitch, I want
you to meet max.
-Hey, max.
-[Both laugh]
-I named him after
my motto in life.
Whatever you do,
you gotta live life,
Experience life, and you
gotta do it to the max.
He's definitely lived up to
his name in the show ring.
He's a champion hunter, he's
won everything there is to win.
-You said that
max was recuperating
From an operation, huh?
-Yeah, well, max is
14 and he's been,
Well, jumping all his life.
His back legs are
giving him some trouble.
I gave him time off,
It just didn't seem to
make any difference.
About four months ago he
went through hock surgery
And I've only been
able to ride him again
These past few weeks.
Doctor gray will be
here later on today
And I'm kinda nervous how
max is gonna check out.
No pun intended, but his
future's kinda riding on this.
-Well, if you
want, maybe I can
Take your mind off this
for a couple hours.
What do you say we have a
little picnic on the beach?
-Yeah?
-Three of us, of course.
-I think we'd
like that a lot.
-Okay.

-You always work
with horses?
-Yeah, I was riding
before I could walk.
I can't believe how
comfortable I feel with you.
It's like I've known you
for a very long time.
-I know what you mean.
I feel the same way too.
-You know I saw you
watching me ride max
On the beach
all those times.
-You did not.
Oh my god.
-And then that good cop, bad
cop routine with your friend
And the infamous citation.
-Oh.
-That put me away.
And when you signed hobie
up for those riding lessons.
Well, it was such an
old fashioned approach,
It really touched me.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-[Phone ringing]
-My only extravagance,
Just in case something
happens with a horse.
-Why am I not surprised?
-Jenny wade.
Okay.
Yes, I'll be there.
That was dr. Gray
confirming our appointment
This afternoon for
max's evaluation.
-You really love
max a lot don't you?
-Max's mom d*ed
when he was born.
I pulled him out of her and
bottle fed him as a colt.
I think he grew up believing
that I was his mother.
I guess I treated
him as my child.
You always want the
best for your child.
Even if it
breaks your heart.
-We think a lot alike.
-Yeah, we do.
-[Squealing tires]
-[Moaning]
-[Screaming]
-Call 911!
-There's been an accident
at nicholas canyon beach.
There's a car, it's
gone over the cliff
And it's in the water.
We need paramedics now.
-Woman: help!
-[Dramatic music]
-[Screaming]
[Screaming]
-[Suspenseful music]
-[Woman screaming]
[Screaming]
-Did you call 911?
-I called 911.
They're on their way.
-It's too late.
Easy, easy.
All right.
-What are we gonna do?
-We're gonna deliver
this baby right now.
Go get the
picnic blanket!
-[Screaming]
-Put your head
down. Easy.
-Oh god!
-All right,
listen to me.
My name is mitch, I'm
an la county lifeguard.
What's your name?
-Cynthia.
-All right, cynthia.
You're gonna have this baby
right now on the beach.
It's okay, we don't have time
to get you to the hospital.
Don't push, don't push.
Just rest. Easy.
Easy, okay.
Now blow out, blow.
I've done this before,
and you breathe okay?
Breathe, blow.
-Okay, okay,
breathe. Okay.
-That's it!
Blow! Blow!
Okay. Take it easy.
-It's gonna be okay.
Breathe.
-It's coming.
It's coming, push!
Come on girl, push!
-[Screaming]
-Cynthia, push!
Come on cynthia,

Push!
-I can't, I can't.
-Breathe, breathe.
-Push! Come on!
-[Cynthia screaming]
It's coming.
-[Sirens]
-Come on that's it.
-Mitch: come
on, cynthia!
Cynthia, push!
Come on, cynthia!
-Good girl.
-Come on, cynthia.
Come on, cynthia. Hey!
Jenny: good girl!
Mitch: it's a boy!
-[Baby crying]
-Mitch: there we go!
-[Jenny crying]
-[Mitch laughs]
-You notified
the county huh?
Hey.
All done, thanks
for waiting.
-What an incredible day.
It started out with a
fabulous ride on the beach,
And a little picnic
and all of a sudden
There's a car in the water,
you're rescuing this woman
And we deliver
her baby together.
And it's not
even, what?
It's not even
two o'clock!
-You wanna go dancing?
-No, I'm still really
worried about max.
-Hey, we had a very
lucky day, right?
I'm sure max is
gonna be fine.
-Excuse me.
Excuse me, I'm looking
for mitch buchannon.
-Yeah, yeah
you found him.
-[Laughing] I don't know
how to thank you!
You saved my
wife and baby!
-Oh!
My wife tried to make it
to the hospital on her own
When she went
into labor because
She couldn't reach
me, you know?
And then she lost control
of the car because
The intense contractions
were so bad.
I am so angry with myself.
I should've been
there for her.
You know, my cell phone
battery went dead.
Can you believe it?
Has that ever
happened to you?
I'll never forgive
myself because
I should've been
there with her.
It's a boy, it's a boy!
Well you know that,
you were there.
Here, here, here,
have a cigar.
Oh, here, and you too.
-[All laughing]
-[Grunting]
-Cody: yes sir!
-Bob: that's
a fine job.
-So how much we got
here captain bob?
-Oh, it's a real
nice haul boys.
I'd say you got a
couple of thousand.
Of course, that's
not counting my take.
-Yeah, but we're still
negotiating, right?
-Don't think about it.
-Still, not bad
for a day's work.
-I'm just glad
you're okay.
-Man: help! Help!
Help!
-What's wrong?
-It's my friend, he
was right behind us
But he never came up.
-Where'd you
last see him?
-The cave, we were
exploring the cave,
But our bottom time's
up, we reached our table.
-J.d., Let's go.
-We can't dive, our
bottom time is up too.
-I'll go.
-No, with your cold
it's too dangerous.
-You won't be
able to equalize.
-Yes I will,
I'll be fine.
Who else here's gonna go?
-Oh, don't look at me
folks, I'm no diver.
-I'll be okay, just
help me gear up.
-J.d., Call for
backup, man.
-Radio's here.
-You got it?
-Yeah.
-You know, it just
occurred to me,
Maybe they should
name that boy sandy.
-That's appropriate.
-Hey, hobster, what
you carving there?
-Uh nothing,
it's a surprise.
-Code r.
-What's a code r?
-It means an emergency.
-[Gentle music]
-There's no other
choice, cody,
I'm a certified
diver, remember?
-All right, just be
careful down there okay?
-It's not gonna
be a problem.
-Okay.
-Air's on.
-[Dramatic music]
-[Sirens]
-Cody: mitch,
check the cave
South of our position.
-J.d.: Lani's down there.
-We're on it.
You ready?
-Summer: ready!
-[Dramatic music]
-[Screaming]
-[Ominous music]
-[Screaming]
Oh, oh my god!
I can't hear anything!
Oh my god!
Oh my god!
-She's in real bad pain.
Come on, get her up.
-I can't hear anything!
Oh my god!
-Cody: come on, come on!
-All right, grab her.
-Ow!
Ow! It hurts!
-All right j.d., Get a
chopper in here right away,
Tell em to bring a basket.
We need to get her
to the hospital.
-Right away.
-What happened?
-Reverse pressure.
She didn't equalize.
She may have
blown her eardrums.
Let's get a
blanket in here.
-Cody: it's
gonna be okay, we
Have a chopper
on the way.
-[Dramatic music]
-Oh my god, I
can't hear anything!
Please help me!
-Mitch: it's gonna
be all right, lani.
I can't hear you,
I can't hear you.
Please, please, help!
Ow, it hurts, please!
Oh my god,
I'm so scared.
I'm so scared.
Cody: it's gonna be okay.
-Oh please, cody.
Cody, what's going on?
Please.
-Do you know where
lani mckenzie's room is?
-Yeah, she's in the
first door on the right.
-Thanks.
-[Crash]
-Cody: I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Hey.
-Hi.
It feels so weird to talk
and not hear my voice.
No, no it's
not your fault.
You can't blame yourself.
I wanted to dive,
it was my decision.
I'm just scared.
I mean, everything I love,
Music and lifeguarding...
-I'm so sorry, I never
should have let you dive.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
-[Somber music]
-Still no answer?
-No, no.
-Dad, why don't you
just go over there
And see if jenny's okay?
-Well I went on my first date
with her yesterday, you know?
I just can't show
up on her doorstep
At seven o'clock in the
morning unannounced.
-Yeah, well the way I
see it, if two people
Bring a baby into this world
together, on the beach,
Unannounced so to speak,
they should be able
To wave all the
first date crap.
-You know, I always thought
you'd grow up some day
And give me some advice.
But, I never thought
that I would take it.
-Hey, dad?
Is lani gonna
be all right?
-Uh, I talked to the
doctor and he said
That she was resting
comfortably but, they don't know
Whether her hearing loss is
gonna be temporary or permanent.
See ya.
-[Soft music]
-Mitch: hey!
Seen jenny this morning?
-She's over in max's stall.
-Mitch: thanks.
-[Gentle music]
-Mitch: hey.
'Morning.
Come here.
Look at you.
Look, I'm sorry to
come over so early,
It's just that I
called last night
And when you didn't answer
the phone I got worried.
-I know, I spent the
night here in max's stall.
-Oh, I almost forgot,
Hobie asked me
to give you this.
-Oh.
-He told me to tell you that
as much as he likes horses,
He'd rather...
-I know, he'd rather be
carving them than riding them.
It's beautiful.
-Sorry I couldn't be here
for you and max last night.
-No, that's okay.
I called headquarters
when you didn't show up,
I totally understand.
Just walk.
Oh.
-Is he all right?
-This time.
I don't know how
he's gonna stand it,
Being cooped up in
there like that.
-Don't you worry max,
we're gonna find a solution.
-I wish he understood
that I'm just trying
To do what's best
for him, you know?
I'm so sorry to
hear about lani.
I hate to dwell on my own
problems when she's, well...
I just pray she's
gonna be okay.
-Jenny, I don't think two
people have been through more
In the first 24 hours of
knowing each other than we have.
-It's not over yet.
-Doctor gray check max out?
-Doctor gray said that
max can't jump anymore.
He can only run lightly
and not work too hard.
-Well, that's not
totally bad news.
I mean, he seems really
healthy, he's pain free.
I mean, you can
spoil him to death
And he certainly
seems happy.
-Well, he won't
be if he has to
Spend the rest of his
life in that stall.
I just can't do
that to him.
Break my heart to see
him cooped up like that.
Doctor gray says that max
needs to be able to move around
In a big soft
grassy pasture.
I could never afford
a place like that.
-Which is exactly why I wanted
to see you today about max.
-What do you mean?
-Jenny, I just
came from visiting
A friend of mine in malibu.
Last year we saved her horses
from going to slaughter.
Well, she wants to
return the favor,
Especially for max.
-I still don't understand.
-She lives on a beautiful
ranch in malibu with her horses.
Lakes, grassy
pastures, everything.
She said max can stay there
as long as he needs to
To get better.
-Mitch, that's still
gonna cost a fortune.
-How does free sound?
-Free?
-Free.
-I don't know
what to say.
I don't know how to thank
you, or your friend.
-You can thank
us by accepting.
-I do!
