Pacific Blue

- All right, open your eyes.

- Wow. - Oh, man.

- Trek Y bikes with Spinergy wheels.

These are the same type bikes used by the Secret Service

to guard the White House.

Just a word of warning, people.

These bikes are very expensive, so--

- Don't let yours get stolen.

You know, it's not fair.

It's like we've been given Corvette patrol cars.

- Hey, there's no better test for these bikes

than what we do.

- The way Mr. Clutch rides, maybe.

You, uh, I don't know.

So now you're Mr. Clutch?

- Yeah, example, Kirk Gibson, '88 World Series,

pinch-hit home run, to win Game One for the Dodgers.

- That's not the greatest clutch play of all time.

- Really? Name me one that's better.

- 1986, ALCS, Game Five, ninth inning,

one strike away from elimination,

Dave Henderson hits a two-run homer off of Donnie Moore

to save it for the Red Sox.

- Any Pacific Blue unit in the vicinity

of Lifeguard Station 22, respond to a one-20-20.

Black-and-whites, do not respond.

Respondent must be a PB unit.

- This is Two PB Seven responding.

A bomb threat?

Let's go.

What's going on?

- Dude phones me on my hard line.

Tells me to get outta the tower ASAP.

Says there's a bomb under it.

Is there?

- There's a cellphone and a pair of wire cutters

and this gnarly-looking metal box that's ticking and all.

Dude says don't let anyone in there but the bike cops.

Go figure.

- Get all these people away from the tower, now.

Everybody, back it up!

- Everybody just move away, forget your things

and get away as fast as you can, folks.

Wow.

Oh man.

Callaway.

- Excellent response time, Officer Callaway.

Tell me, who is the gentleman by your side?

You first.

Who's this?

- This is the man who's willing to save your life

and make you famous if you do exactly what I say.

Open the box.

First, let me tell what you're looking at.

It's a quarter-stick of C-4 plastique, quite capable

of blasting the two of you from where you stand to LAX.

Leaving this little task to the bomb squad is not an option.

When you answered the phone, you triggered the timer.

You have 90 seconds.

All you have to do is disconnect the explosive

from the battery by cutting the hot wire.

Think of this as your first test

in a relationship that must be based on trust.

Which one's the hot wire?

- Lifeguards, bikes and hearts of fire

will speak volumes about the wire.

You have 75 seconds.

- Bikes, lifeguard uniforms, hearts of fire,

they're all red.

He's trying to tell us it's the red wire.

That's the one that leads to the battery terminal.

Do we trust him?

- He said the relationship had to be built on trust.

40 seconds, cut the red wire. It's the red one.

- Congratulations, it is the red wire.

It's still running!

- Oh, I'm sorry, did I say the red wire?

I meant the green wire.

You have 15 seconds.

I'll phone you back tomorrow, if you live.

- It's gonna be a long summer, buddy.

* Some try to talk you down

* Why everyone begs on my town

* Sand and sea, it works for me *

* Take a look around

* It's just another day in LA, oh oh *

* Anybody sees more than me

* Anybody thinks he is free

* Someday

* What a letdown

* Just another day, oh

Hi.

Hi.

You're early.

Yeah.

I don't know if this is such a good idea.

Well think of it this way.

If it doesn't work out,

we're no worse off than we were before.

- You mean instead of being miserable alone,

we might as well be miserable together.

Exactly.

- I heard about the explosion today.

Were you involved in that?

T.C., that's what I'm afraid of.

I don't wanna live in constant fear of losing you,

and I know that you love what you do

and I don't wanna change that.

- I meant what I said on the phone.

I'll do whatever you want.

Okay, then here's the deal.

You don't tell me what goes on with your job,

and I won't ask.

Deal?

Deal.

- That way, we can just concentrate on tonight.

- I'll need a workspace, hard-line phones,

ISD and modem lines, wireless tie-in to your dispatcher,

direct lead to your internal comms system

and liaison with the local PD.

You have a line on this guy?

We have a sketch but no name.

This is the third time he's hit.

A lotta these nutballs are ego-driven.

The Oklahoma City and World Trade Center bombings

lit a fire under the Unabomber.

Guy wasn't getting enough time on the evening news,

so he blew up two more people in a couple months.

What's your name, ma'am.

Officer Chris Kelly.

- Any explosives training, Officer Kelly?

- Just basic weapons in the Navy.

She'll do as my liaison.

Hold on a minute.

- Please spare me the jurisdictional protests.

It's bad enough when I get it from the NYPD,

CHP, state troopers, local sheriffs,

tribal chieftains and park rangers.

The last thing I wanna add to that list is cops

on bikes at the beach wearing shorts.

Besides, I sense Officer Kelly wants the assignment.

Is that correct?

Well, yeah. Yeah, sure.

- Fine, let's get one thing straight, Agent Stone.

You're on my beach now.

The bomber's specific instructions

called for bike officers.

As long as those rules are in effect,

we deal on level terms.

That's fair.

Now do you wanna know why he's insisting

on dealing only with you people?

- Could it be that he's anti-technology?

- In fact, he believes the internal combustion engine

is part of the technology that's going to cause

a complete collapse of our society as we know it.

By the way, where are the two officers

that attempted to defuse the device?

- On their way in. Their shift starts in about 10 minutes.

- He's gonna insist on dealing with them and only them.

Let's get started.

Where are we going?

Bomb school.

- Okay, this is a block of C-4 plastique.

You've all seen it in the movies.

By itself, it's relatively harmless.

You can mold it like Silly Putty.

You can toss it around the backyard with Fido.

You can set it on fire, cook C rations with it.

You set this much off with a triggering device,

it'll cut a car frame in half.

- What do they use to detonate with?

- Well all the criminal bomber needs

is a simple model airplane remote control

with a 555 circuit board, size of a pack of cigarettes.

This has a range of a mile.

These are the various triggering devices he likes to use.

Okay, he's gonna change the color of wires each time.

He likes to play mind games with people.

Yeah, we've noticed.

- Anarchist Handbook, Basic Explosives,

Advanced Triggering Guides.

All this stuff, gentlemen, is available through the mail.

- Whoa whoa whoa, that's at least

a month's worth of training.

How do you expect my officers to absorb

all this information?

I don't.

But I'm sure a certain amount will sink in,

because the more they read,

the better chance they have of living.

Think of this as the most important

summer reading you've ever been assigned.

With this finger cam, I'll see what you see.

And I'll take you through it, one step at a time,

for each and every bomb.

Each and every bomb?

Callaway.
