JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS.

BE CAREFUL.

AND HURRY BACK.

HELP! HELP!

MY HUSBAND'S DIVING. I PULLED ON THE SAFETY LINE,

BUT I CAN'T GET HIM TO THE SURFACE.

I'M AFRAID SOMETHING'S SERIOUSLY WRONG.

-THIS IS LIEUTENANT STEPHANIE HOLDEN

OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF BEACHES,

WHERE ARE YOU?

WE'RE ABOUT THREE AND A HALF MILES

NORTHWEST OF THE PARADISE COVE PIER.

OKAY, WE'RE ON OUR WAY.

HOLD ON!

HERE!

TOSS ME THE SPARE AIR.

BARNETT, I NEED THE BOAT HOOK.

THANKS.

-THAT LOOKS GREAT. YOU GUYS DID A TERRIFIC JOB.

-WE'LL HANG THESE POSTERS AND PUT UP THE FLAGS.

-THANKS, JOHN. NOW, LISTEN, SOME OF YOU WILL BE WORKING

WITH THE ATHLETES BUT I'LL NEED THE REST OF YOU ON TOWERS,

SO PLEASE, CHECK THE ASSIGNMENT SHEET TOMORROW, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

THANK YOU, BIFF.

REMEMBER, POSTERS FROM VENICE ALL THE WAY TO MALIBU.

-DAD! HOBIE.

-HEY, I MADE THIS FOR YOU IN SCHOOL.

WOW, THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

-I KNEW YOU'D LOVE IT. I GOTTA GO PRACTICE MUSICAL FLAGS

FOR THE JUNIOR LIFEGUARD COMPETITIONS.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER. -OKAY.

NO IDEA HE WAS SO TALENTED.

OH. LOVE YOUR RING, MITCH.

ME TOO!

COME HERE YOU!

-WILL YOU PUT ME DOWN? YOU KNOW I HATE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT.

-SORRY, I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. YOU CARE FOR AN ARTICHOKE?

NO.

IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU MITCH.

GREAT TO SEE YOU TOO.

THIS IS LIEUTENANT STEPHANIE HOLDEN, MARY LOU RETTON.

OH, IT'S SO GREAT TO MEET YOU.

I'LL NEVER FORGET THE '84 OLYMPICS

WHEN YOU WON ALL THOSE MEDALS. YOU WERE AMAZING.

WELL THANK YOU.

IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE, THANKS TO MITCH'S OFFER.

ANYTHING FOR YOU.

-WELL, OFFERING TO HOST THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS

ISN'T JUST ANYTHING. I MEAN, THE BEACH AS AN OLYMPIC VENUE

IS JUST WHAT THESE KIDS NEED.

THEY'VE BEEN WORKING OUT SO HARD, AND THEY REALLY DESERVE

THIS CHANGE OF SCENE.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH MITCH.

-JUST THE LOOK ON THEIR FACES WILL BE THANKS ENOUGH.

NOW WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PLANNING TO DO AND STEPHANIE SAID

SHE WOULD HELP COORDINATE, SO WHY DON'T WE MEET

AT MY HOUSE TONIGHT FOR DINNER, AT EIGHT O'CLOCK, HUH?

-YOU COOKING? UH HUH.

I'LL BRING PIZZA.

FUNNY. WATCH IT.

ANYWAY, THIS AUDITORIUM MUST HAVE HAD

LIKE 5,000 PEOPLE IN THERE. BUSINESS MEN,

HEADS OF CORPORATIONS, AND THEY WERE HANGING

ON MARY LOU'S EVERY WORD.

I'M TELLING YOU, YOU REALLY MOTIVATED ME THAT NIGHT.

-DO YOU THINK MAYBE YOU COULD COME GIVE A TALK TO MY CLASS?

-BELIEVE ME, HIS CLASS NEEDS MOTIVATION.

-I'D LOVE TO HOBIE. I MEAN, AS MUCH AS I LOVE

MY MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING, WORKING WITH KIDS

IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE THING TO DO.

-I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU DEVOTE

SO MUCH TIME TO SPECIAL OLYMPICS.

-OH STEPHANIE, THESE ATHLETES HAVE SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE.

I MEAN, IT'S LIKE THEY'RE BURSTING AT THE SEAMS.

MOST OF THEM HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN TO A BEACH BEFORE.

SAMMY SAYS THE WAVES NEVER STOP

BECAUSE THEY LOVE TO CHASE PEOPLE.

WHO'S SAMMY?

SAMMY'S A GYMNAST.

SHE WAS ABANDONED BY HER PARENTS WHEN SHE WAS JUST

AN INFANT. THEY JUST COULDN'T DEAL WITH HER HANDICAP,

SO SHE'S NEVER HAD THE SUPPORT OF A FAMILY,

AND SHE REALLY NEEDS SOME SPECIAL ATTENTION.

YOU KNOW, STEPHANIE, I THINK YOUR INFLUENCE COULD REALLY

MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR SAMMY.

DO YOU THINK YOU COULD SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER?

WELL OF COURSE, ABSOLUTELY.

I'D LOVE TO HELP HER ANY WAY I CAN.

GREAT.

-HOBIE, YOU WANNA HELP CLEAN UP?

-YEAH. -MITCH.

YES?

-YOU'VE DONE SO MUCH ALREADY. I HATE TO ASK MORE.

-BUT I GET THE FEELING YOU'RE GOING TO.

STEP INTO MY OFFICE.

WHAT'S UP?

-THERE'S THIS YOUNG MAN, DARNEL. HE WAS INSTITUTIONALIZED,

AND HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN.

HIS FATHER GAVE HIM UP WHEN HE WAS SMALL

AND DARNEL'S NEVER GOTTEN OVER IT.

MITCH, HE POURS HIMSELF INTO THESE COMPETITIONS,

MAYBE A LITTLE TOO MUCH.

-SO YOU WANT ME TO MAYBE TAKE DARNEL UNDER MY WING?

YES I DO.

-ALL RIGHT. DON'T WORRY. I'LL DO WHAT I CAN TO HELP HIM.

OH THANK YOU.

DARNEL AND SAMMY, BELIEVE ME,

THEY WILL NEVER HAVE A BETTER DAY.

GREAT.

HI, MY NAME'S STEPHANIE.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME TO THE BEACH WITH ME?

WELL THE SAND FEELS REALLY GOOD ON YOUR FEET.

COME ON.

HOW WE ALL DOING TODAY?

ARE WE READY TO GET PHYSICAL?

-LISTEN, I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE ALL HERE.

WE READY TO TRAIN, AND TRAIN HARD

FOR THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS?

ARE WE READY TO WORK OUT?

I AM SO GLAD.

MITCH, MITCH, COME HERE.

EVERYONE I WANT YOU TO MEET LIEUTENANT MITCH BUCHANNON.

HE HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO OFFER US THIS BEAUTIFUL BEACH

AND THE HELP OF ALL OF THESE WONDERFUL LIFEGUARDS

FOR OUR SPECIAL BEACH EVENTS.

-ALL RIGHT, FIRST OF ALL, WELCOME TO BAYWATCH.

THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS

AT THE BEACH, SO I'M COUNTING ON

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, OKAY?

-LISTEN, I KNOW YOU'RE ALL ANXIOUS TO START,

SO LET'S BREAK UP INTO YOUR BUDDY GROUPS

AND WE'LL HEAD DOWN TO THE WATER.

- -

I DON'T HAVE A PARTNER.

MITCH, THIS IS DARNEL.

-DARNEL, IS IT OKAY IF I'M YOUR PARTNER?

YEAH, SURE.

-LET'S GO. ALL RIGHT.

-OH, LET'S GO WATCH MARY LOU ON THE BALANCE BEAM,

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHO WANTS TO TRY?

-I HEARD YOU WERE A GYMNAST, SAMMY.

WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT UP YOUR HAND?

I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

-OH. WELL THEN, I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER

UNTIL YOU DO GET GOOD ENOUGH.

DO YOU DO ANY GYMNASTICS?

-RUNNING IS MY SPORT. -REALLY?

I'M THE BEST RUNNER.

-NO KIDDING? HOW LONG YOU BEEN RUNNING?

EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE BOY.

MY FATHER SAYS I SHOULD BE FAST AT SOMETHING

'CAUSE I WAS SLOW AT EVERYTHING ELSE.

-I KNOW YOUR FATHER LOVES YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU KNOW MY FATHER?

UH, NO. NO I DON'T,

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER.
