Don't be lame.
OK, water check.
Sunscreen check.

You see, Will,
I try to find these girls,
but they're all freaks.
Where are you meeting them?
Normal places, bars, clubs.
You don't meet nice girls at bars, mate.
Oh, yeah?
So where do you meet them?
I don't know.
- Church.
- Church.
- Right.
- Yoga class.
Go to the produce aisle or something.
Where did you meet Julie?
[LAUGHS] You met her
at the park, didn't you?
Yeah, I got lucky, though.
Getting lucky isn't
the problem, brother.
Morning, Em.
Hey, you missed the morning workout.
You're out for lunch.
Where's Cap?
He's in his office.
What's up?
- Yes, she's my daughter.
- You got a minute?
I'm sorry, she's missed
how many days this semester?
Yeah, yes, I will
definitely talk to her.
What's up?
We're getting sued.
Yeah, they served me
this morning as well.
It's the kid you rescued from Keiki.
Apparently, the family
thinks they have a case.
- Do they?
- Well, they're angry and lashing out.
Cap, my name is on this thing.
City and county will prep
us if there's a deposition.
Deposition? The mayor's kid screwed up.
Not me.
- I know.
- I know you know. But they don't know.
And I'll handle it. All right?
Ocean safety, come in.
Ocean safety district seven.
Call on a missing hiker
swept out by stream.
Which stream?
Amber Florio, 16-year-old from Nebraska.
Family got caught in the flash
flood at Pu'u O Make stream.
What the hell were they
doing up over there?
It's been raining up in
the mountains for, like,
- two days straight.
- Yeah, all right.
So fire search and rescue,
working the stream bed.
So we'll launch the skis
and start looking offshore.
You think she got washed out to sea?
Possibly, that stream
is flowing full strength.
I used to catch prawns
up there when I was a kid.
So when it floods, goes
straight down to the ocean.
Now she's going to lose
body heat in that water fast.
Early stage of hypothermia
inside four hours.
So we go now.
Yeah, Cap, how long ago did that happen?
Half hour maybe.
Family didn't have cell service,
so they had to hike down to call 911.
She hits the open ocean current,
she's as good as gone.
There's a whole lot of
nothing between us and Japan.
She got lost in the mountains.
Fire's in charge of that search.
I don't need anyone's
permission to get in the water
and look around.
All right.
We'll launch both skis a mile
out in a sweeping pattern.
- That's a lot of area, Cap.
- 20 square miles.
All right, you and Will take rescue one.
I'll take rescue two.
And what about me?
You got the rookies in the tower.
Still got a beach to look after.
10-4.
Cap.
I want to find that girl.
But we should follow
protocol and talk to fire.
OK, she's 16, yeah?
I'm not losing her because of protocol.
Now if she's out there,
we're the ones to find her
because we know the ocean.
- OK?
- Yeah, OK.
Switch out the skis.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Guess we're working together today.
Guess so.
So what, you still mad at me?
- We're good.
- Morning, douches.
You two are with me today.
Mayor's kid, clean up duty.
Storage shed. It's a mess.
Make it nice.
You, just unload all the
gear, the rescue boards,
the beach signs. I'm on
the ATV mobile patrol.
You guys got questions?
Wait, so I'm just cleaning all day?
If that's how long you
think it's going to take.
Then yep.
Have fun, rookie.
♪
Hey, you guys, off the tower, OK?
- Please.
- You're watching us today.
What?
Our dad had to work.
He dropped us off and said
to find the lifeguards.
Hold up.
Where's your dad right now?
- Work.
- Call him.
We don't have a phone.
What's his number?
You guys are killing me.
Cho.
Do me a favor.
Lather them up with some sunscreen.
The sun's going to
come out later on today,
and I don't want them to get fried.
We don't wear sunscreen.
Hey, my tower, my rules.
Come on, guys.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
♪
This is rescue two.
Rescue one, do you copy?
Yeah, copy.
Yeah, I think I've got something.
10-4.
Looking bored.
Yeah, we haven't seen any debris, you?
Not yet.
Well, maybe she's further out.
Hope not.
There's a lot of water moving.
How big's the tide swing?
4-foot.
She's out here.
I'll check out the boat.
You guys head back to the
harbor to fuel up. Keep looking.
- Hey, where's Laka?
- ATV.
Could use some help back there.
It's fricking nasty.
Cockroach eggs. Gecko poop everywhere.
This isn't cool.
Laka gets to cruise the beach.
You get to cruise here at the tower.
And I got to freaking clean.
Aw, poor thing.
Thought there was maid
service up here, too?
I got hired to be a
lifeguard, not a janitor.
What kind of dad drops their
kids off at the beach for us
to watch all day?
Probably didn't have a choice.
Yeah, sure.
You were so much hotter
when you didn't speak.
What's that supposed to mean?
I was like those kids.
My mom worked two jobs.
My dad drove trucks on the mainland.
Just me and my sisters on our own.
We lived at the beach.
Not like you, rich boy.
Yeah, whatever.
You know, I'll play janitor.
You can play babysitter.
I'm good with that.
Hey, give it back.
Give it!
That was you, huh?
Yeah, I see it.
Hey, what you doing all
the way out here, boss?
Got a hiker got caught
in the flash floods.
I think she got washed out.
You guys been out long?
Left the harbor at 4:00 a.m.
OK, anything unusual, debris
fields, unusual currents?
Currents been a little
funny today, you know.
It's been throwing
us all over the place.
Hey, you guys need help?
No, we're OK.
Just heading back to
the harbor to fuel up.
All right, guys, keep your eyes out, eh?
And I'm on Channel 9.
Hey, Junior, any bites?
Mm-mm.
Clear the lines. Let's help them look.
I really hope this
isn't a waste of time.
All right. Spit it out.
What?
You've been quiet all morning.
What's up?
Remember that kid we pulled
out of the shore break?
Family's suing.
Are you serious?
Yeah, Sonny wants to hire
the mayor's kid, fine.
But jumping out ahead
of fire on a rescue
is a bad decision that I don't
want to be on the hook for.
Well, you heard him. We don't
we don't need anyone's
permission to be out here.
Man, you don't get it.
I want to make captain.
It's hard enough being
a woman in this job.
I can't afford to get blamed
for Uncle Sonny's bad decision.
You're overthinking it.
Really I would think
that you, of all people,
know what I've sacrificed to get here.
People in this job, they have kids.
They make it work.
Men in this job have kids.
Men.
Man, you think that I
could have taken months off
for maternity leave and made Lieutenant?
Just pumped my breast
milk in the storage shed?
I don't know.
No, you don't, because
it's not something
men have to think about.
OK.
You got to admit, though,
we would have made some
really beautiful kids.
Ready?
But if we find this girl, no one's going
to care if we follow protocol.
Right behind you, Cap.
Give me another beer.
- Anything?
- No.
We'll make our way back.
[THUD]
What the hell was that?
It's a line wrapped up in the prop.
Call for help. Channel nine, now.
10-4.
Search and rescue is halfway
up the mountain stream.
They got nothing.
We need to track the current.
The mouth of the stream is up there
and the tide's dropping, which means
all that water that's coming
down from the mountain's
getting pulled out.
That's what she's stuck in.
We need to track it.
How?
It's like that guy that fell off
the cliffs at Makapu'u, right?
Cap grabbed the GPS,
jumped in the water
And?
Figured the same current that
took the victim would take him too.
Did it work?
Yeah, it worked.
And it's too dangerous.
Come on, Cap, wasn't too
dangerous when you did it.
Yeah, but that was different.
If she's out there, this
is the only way to find her.
No, that's an order.
I guess you're just
going to have to fire me.
- Em.
- Take this.
This is vessel 6A. I
got an emergency here.
We hit a diver.
Vessel 6A, this is
ocean safety rescue two.
We're on our way.
Em, you hang tight, yeah?
Back in half an hour.
I should stay here.
No, I can't take an injured
victim back to shore alone.
All right? She's got the GPS.
Em, stay safe.
We'll be back as fast as we can.

OK, look, we're going

Come on.
I swear I didn't see him.
What the hell are you
doing this far inside?
You said someone was
lost. I was trying to help.
This looked like helping to you?
Harbor patrol on their
way to take you guys in.
I'll make sure they
bring a breathalyzer.
Kenji.
All right?
OK, OK. I got you.
I got you. All right.

All right, technically, I didn't ask.
My dad just kind of did it.
Yeah, well, you didn't
turn it down either, so
Either way, I'm stoked you're here.
You know, we never got
a chance to celebrate.
Are you asking me out?
Depends. Would you say yes?
No.
No.
Why'd Laka say he was giving
you a chance not to screw up?
A kid got hurt in the shore break,
and Laka had me radio in
the response location to EMS.
So?
I called in the wrong location.

Hey, does that guy look OK to you?
No, grab the kit.
