All language subtitles for Baywatch Nights s01e08 Balancing Act.eng

In the city of angels, undercover of
night.

People are drowning in a sea of light.

The devil holding your life on the line.

Angels are calling, praying for time.

Something's gotta give.

My source says the guy's supposed to
make the drop here on Tuesday.

Well, I hope so, because my feet are
killing me.

Oh, quit complaining.

It's the first time we've been in the
black since I started this firm.

No, no, no, no, no.

We started this firm. You, me, and
Mitch.

Uh, Mr. Ellaby, your memory is lacking.

I started this firm.

Don't you remember?

Of course I remember this, McBride.

That was the day I needed some serious
vocational counseling, so I went to see

Mitch who was on vacation.

I knew he'd been partying all night, so
I wanted to catch him before he fell

asleep. You know how Mitch is when he
first wakes up. Uh, no, not really.

Well, let me tell you, he is not a happy
camper.

I know you don't have water in your
ears. Open up.

Go away.

Or I won't be responsible for my
actions.

Oh, what?

Oh.

Oh. What?

Pajamas dirty, brother?

I'm on vacation.

Sleepwear is optional. In fact, sleep is
optional.

Goodbye.

The fine example you make for yourself.

Holby's with his mother.

What do you want?

I'm quitting the police force. Again,
have another donut. The feeling will

Gar Elaby, waffles on the meaning of
life.

Old news.

Seriously, look.

The cops boarded a freighter called the
Burma Dragon yesterday.

They got a tip from a rundown PI in
Santa Monica named Nicky Pine.

Hidden in the hull, eight ancient jade
bracelets worth at least five million.

You ought to read your newspaper.

And you ought to have a health drink.

Listen, the word around is a major art
collector named Charles Landau was

smuggling the jade. They can't pin it on
him yet.

Fascinating. What's your point? The tip
about the jade was picked up by my ex

-partner in the LAPD, Manny Alvarez.

Squinty Alvarez.

He's got a detective shield, and all I'm
getting is sand and shorts.

Do I detect a bit of envy?

A lot of envy.

Then say it. I quit.

Put up... Oh, shut up. Fisher cut bait.

An expression I've never totally
understood, but I'm sure applies.

Me? I'm going running.

You're going running now?

I'm in a midlife crisis.

Well, I got my own boat that keeps
buzzing a restricted channel near the

dock. A scarab. Weird, huh?

Lock up, will ya?

I guess when you've had one career your
whole life... You start to question

whether that's all you'll ever be.

That's what Garner was asking.

Funny thing is, even though I love being
a lifeguard, I was starting to ask

myself that question, too.

Morning. Morning.

I'm looking for the owner, Andy. I'm
Andy.

Well, Andrea.

Hi. I'm Lieutenant Mystery Cannon, Lake
County Lifeguards.

Do you run a scarab...

CF0031MZ. I sure do, but it's already
out.

Oh, no, no, I'm not looking to rent it.
I was just wondering why it keeps

cutting through a restricted channel by
a custom stock.

I haven't a clue.

Well, can you tell me who rented it?

Some middle -aged woman. You know what?
I can check the records, but I'm just a

little busy right now.

No problem.

When you get a chance, give me a call.

Any information will be greatly
appreciated.

You got it. Nice day, huh? Thanks.

Funny thing about a coincidence.

It takes two pieces of luck.

First, Garner tells me about the stolen
jade bracelets found on the Bourbon

Dragon. Then, the boat I've been
watching speeds right by it.

Okay, small coincidence.

No reason to worry, right?

Wrong.

Years on the beach have taught me to
recognize a potential victim before they

in the water.

You want to stop them before they get in
too deep.

It's called making a prevention.

But the second I saw her, I knew she
wasn't the type I could prevent from

anything.

Can I help you?

Um, yeah.

I'm sorry, could you help me find 67,
please?

Uh, no idea.

Actually, this dock is off limits to the
public.

I thought maybe you were lost.

No, no, no, not at all. I'm meeting a
yacht, but thanks anyway.

Uh, people don't berth their yachts
here.

It's a customs graveyard.

They don't even let the crews aboard.

Thanks.

Morning there, kiddo. Good morning.

You must be Ryan McBride. Yes, sir.
Right on time.

It's nice to finally meet you, Mr. Pine.
I thought for a moment that I'd made a

mistake. Well, you never really know.

Listen, I can't stand around and blab,
but I brought you this for buying my

detective agency.

Oh, thank you.

Here are the keys to open the doors.

Oh, sorry.

The problem with missing a prevention is
now you have to make a rescue, which is

a lot more dangerous.

Keep your head down, down, down!

Who the hell are you? I'll introduce
myself later, after we survive.

Oh, my God! Mr. Vine!

Now, come on! The ship's on fire! Climb
on the boom!

Come on! Why should we do that? Because
if we don't, we're going to die. Come

on. I only wanted an explanation.

Head down.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Don't look down. Don't look down. Just
keep moving.

I'm afraid of heights.

What are we doing?

Just keep moving.

Where are we going?

What are we doing?

You're just going to have to trust me.

I trust you.

I don't even know you.

Let's hope you get the chance.

What? No!

Oh, my God. No.

Oh, no.

Back up.

Back up. I'm not getting wet.

Wet?

We might not survive the fall. What?
Just kidding. Just kidding.

Okay, now listen to me.

Hold your breath.

After we hit the water, swim back to the
surface. Hit the water? Are you crazy?

I can't swim.

You can't swim? No.

There's no problem.

I can.

I'm a lifeguard.

Oh, really?

What's a lifeguard doing out here?

Well, actually, I'm on vacation.

for the nearest unit.

Charles Landau.

I started thinking like a detective. I
checked him out. He got his parking

tickets.

What's so special about Landau? He's
been in people.

Cool. Look, a cop who nails a big deal
like that gets a gold shield. It's damn

near automatic.

And at this point, the only way I'll
ever make the time.

What about the girl?

She in people, too?

Her name is Ryan McBride. She's a
private investigator from New York.

Flew in this morning square. She thought
this was a public dock.

She looks upset.

You can go home.

Can I do anything to help, Ryan?

Yeah, you can hail me a cab.

Hail you a cab?

They don't cruise a waterfront from
there.

Oh, that's right. I forgot.

This is L .A.

Mass Transit is a three -man boogie
board.

All right, Alvarez, she can go.

But what about that bracelet Pine gave
her? Didn't we get all the jade

yesterday?

That's not part of the contraband,
Captain Tony. That's just a plastic

I checked.

As you recall, sir, from my report, the
jade was hidden in the hull.

My source gave me an item -by -item
list.

You're a little far from your beat,
aren't you, Garner? Well, I was...

First on the scene, Randy. Well, good.

You can be first back on the beach.

We wouldn't want anyone cheating at
volleyball now, would we?

Hey, hey, hey.

Let it go.

Now, how do I get back to my motel?

Mitch will give you a ride.

Thanks, officer.

Thanks, officer.

Oh, don't thank me. Thank Mitch here.
He's the one who pulled you out of the

suit. But as he said, he's a lifeguard.

He does it for a living.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I don't mean to seem ungrateful.

Mitch, Mitch, come on, help me out here.
If she's connected to Landau, she could

be the big casino.

Did you breathe too much oil smoke?

She's connected to the guy who passes
the tip about the jade.

Mickey Pines, Scuzzy's private eye on
the beach. He'd take a case from a fly

that paid him a penny.

Why do I have to drive her?

She won't fit on my beach buggy.

First rule of a good detective, hold on
to what you've got. Until I make the

case on Landau, she is what I've got.

Okay, I need to

find this address.

Point of investigation, Santa Monica,
2000 Beach Boulevard.

Go on, plug in, babe.

How you doing?

Hi. We're looking for Pine
Investigations. The address says it's

can't seem to find the sign.

You know, that's the same thing Nicky
always says, but it don't go with the

wrench, you see, so what can I do about
that?

Nicky Pine's office is in a nightclub?

That's right, ma 'am, right up to a step
down the hall.

Thank you.

But hey, he's not in. Maybe Secretary
Rose is there. Check with her. And if

is, would you tell her that Nikki's bar
tab is overdue, please?

Yes, sir.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Get down.

All right.

There's something really, really wrong
here.

Yeah, picking lock.

I don't know about New York, but we have
laws against breaking and entering.

Let's have the bracelet.

Hey, you're welcome to. It's only $2.

Watching your rear. Yeah, well, you were
watching mine. One of those thugs from

the dock was roughing up Ryan's.

Hey, hey, hey.

What are you doing here? You can't go up
to his stuff. It's not yours.

Didn't I mention that?

Yes, it is.

I bought it.

I own every bent paperclip.

and every moldy container of coleslaw in
that foul refrigerator.

You bought Nicky Pines' agency?

Well, that was originality.

Why do you think I was meeting him this
morning? It was to get the keys to my

ultra -modern, world -class, fully
-equipped P .I. agency.

Wow, you have the hat.

Big time.

My last dime.

But I'm going to get it back if I have
to shake that man like a piggy bank.

Too late.

Nicky Pine died in the ambulance.

It's a murder case now.

You've heard the expression, buying a
bill of goods?

I'm not sure what a bill of goods is,
but this one cost Ryan McBride 25 grand.

I mean, look at those offices.

That's Italian furniture he's sitting
in.

Ryan. That's an Italian furniture store
he's sitting in. A man who uses a pizza

box for a blocker does not own Italian.

Listen, no help from downtown. Whoever
rented that speedboat used a bogus ID.

A lot of phonies in L .A., like this
Nicky Pine.

And he had gold -plated references.

Cops, judges, they all loved him. Damn
right.

Nicky was a prince.

Hi, I'm Rose.

He must be Ryan.

You're not waiting around here for
Nicky, are you?

He's gone.

Al's bell, though, is even on the radio.

Lou's giving away drinks downstairs in
his memory.

Half price.

It'll be a party.

Bollinger, 61.

Looks expensive.

Not when Nicky bought it.

There's some wheels parked in the garage
out back.

It's a little buggy Nikki picked up at a
police auction.

Title's tied up in superior court.

You'll figure it out.

Anyway, it comes with a joint.

I'm sorry about Nikki.

Yeah.

See you downstairs.

I gotta clear my head.

You want me to go with you?

If not...

Wow.

This should make Ryan feel better.

If she really owns it.

Consider the source.

What's that?

It's an auction program for the day
after tomorrow.

This looks just like the bracelet Nikki
gave Ryan. I'm surprised it's plastic

junk. And this one's circled for a half
a million.

You still think she's connected to
Landau?

Well, first they show up at the doctor
at the same time. Then we find this in a

car she just bought.

They're connected somehow.

And you know what? It's not good.

Find her.

Oh, wait a minute.

Let's take the car.

The bracelet Ryan had was definitely a
plastic replica, but Landau certainly

didn't think so.

You know, it's like listening to the
blues.

Once you hear the music, you don't want
to live without it.

Except in Ryan's case, she was the one
whose light was on the line.

We had to find her before Landau did.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

I want to shoot you right down.

Right off of your feet.

I'll take you home with me.

Put you in my house.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Howl, howl, howl, howl.

I love to see you grunting.

Walking down the floor.

When you're talking.

That baby talk.

I like it like that.

Oh, you're a boogie!

you all night?

All night?

Really?

I'm touched.

Look, Mitch, go back to your sunscreen
and cutoffs. We shared some beautiful

gunfire together, but I don't need a
guardian angel, and I can't stand a

warrior.

You seem very upset for somebody who
just lost 25 grand.

Mitch, I was the baby in my family.

Six older brothers.

The one thing about Dallas, Texas, they
don't like sissies.

So it's your fault.

You'll get dented.

Well, you had some great body work.

I just learned to bounce back.

Really?

What are you doing out here feeding
seagulls?

I'm waiting for inspiration.

Some detective.

I found the boat.

There's not an inch between Point Doom
and Redondo a lifeguard doesn't check

at least twice a day.

I asked my friends to keep an eye out,
and they hit pay dirt.

Mitch, come here. I found something.

What's it got?

A red hair.

Red hair.

Mitch?

I got a feeling.

Yeah, I got a feeling, too.

Hannah.

Hannah. Yeah, it's a hair color.

Um, a dye job.

You know, Ryan, I'm trying to make some
sense of this whole thing.

And I want to help P .I. con you into
buying worthless agents.

You show up, he's in the middle of a
firefight, tosses you a plastic

Suddenly, he's dead.

I got a feeling.

There's not much difference between
being a lifeguard and a private eye.

Both have to deal with sharks.

I drove Ryan to her motel, but the
sharks had already ripped the place to

shreds.

I'll call the police.

Why? They're just going to file it and
forget about it.

That's the guy who tried to grab your
bracelet.

Wait a minute.

This doesn't make any sense.

He couldn't get out this way. The door's
jammed.

There's nobody out there either.

Well, it had to be somebody else.

That guy didn't do this. He was trying
to break in.

What's that? What are you doing?

This is what I do. I'm a forensic
criminologist.

You know, fingerprints, hair, fiber.

It makes me feel better.

Ryan may have felt better, but Garner
wasn't thrilled getting us into the

fingerprint computer. Okay, here we go.

I'll be damned. Look at that.

LRB!

Hurry up, Ryan. I think Garner's midlife
crisis is coming to a head.

Was he? Don't call me that.

You're trying to take a peek at the
coroner's report.

You want to see the body go to the
funeral, you better hurry up, though,

they're scattering his ashes at sea.

Poor fish. I wouldn't talk to him like
that. He's already broken my nose twice

in situations like this. Why are you in
the lab, Garner?

There's no seagulls here, so you must be
lost.

You're not fit to be a crossing guard in
your Kuiper.

I'm going to have to take that from you,
Squinty.

I, Squinty.

That's three times, Ella B.

Look who

was in my room.

Don't tell me.

Nicky Pine.

We just came by to pay our respects.

Thanks for inviting us.

Nicky here?

Nicky?

Nicky, you in there?

No. No, Nicky.

He's not here.

No, but everybody else is. All of his
friends are here.

Doctors, lawyers, judges.

Everyone a man would need to fake his
own death.

Where is he?

We know he's alive.

We found his fingerprint in Ryan's motel
room.

After he died.

Rose, we also found the scarab. You
know, I must compliment you. You can

and shoot real good.

But you really should get a new dye job.

That henna rinse just isn't the color
for you.

Nikki.

Nicky!

Not

today,

girl.

If he didn't, I'd be happy to. Thanks
for busting up my party. That catering

cost me 20.

Then I had to thank all my friends.

Now what?

You're under arrest.

That's right.

Worthless. Boy, these are top accounts.

Oh, yeah.

Here's one from Take and Go Liquor.

an hour to watch tapes from a security
camera?

Security camera?

Well, that explains it. I thought this
was a French film.

I pay you $25 ,000 and it's still not
free and clear?

I mean, I've heard of people walking
away from deals before, but what you did

me was so crooked, you had to kill
yourself.

It wasn't for your benefit, kid.

I admired you.

I saved stories from the newspaper about
you.

It's possible that you are the same man
that found that Corvette in Steve

McQueen's swimming pool. Great case.

You know, what I don't understand is why
after 40 years of business you go after

a small -time swindle.

A half million Burmese jade eyes.

Hmm.

This is real, folks.

And all I get for my trouble is a
plastic fake that leaves green marks on

arm. Nicky, we found this in the car you
left.

Oh.

Yeah, that was the car that put me under
the jade.

I picked that baby up at a police
auction in the trunk.

I found hidden paperwork on a smuggling
caper that the former owner set up for

none other than Charles Landau.

So, I tipped off the cops.

Why didn't they find that bracelet?

I took it off the list.

Just a little bangle.

I knew they weren't going to look too
hard.

I needed a distraction to get back on
board.

We just wanted to show Landau how Nicky
died.

I mean, we didn't want to hurt nobody.

I wanted to give the keys to Ryan, but I
wanted Landau to see me toss that

bracelet to her.

Of course, I knew he'd be looking for me
later on, so I had to die.

Cost me a lifetime of favors.

What a nice little sting.

We were going to buy a condo in Estapa
with a dishwasher.

Just once, can a guy give something nice
to a woman like Rose who loves him?

Oh, sure.

But why?

Cheat me.

I mean, why search my room? It was you,
wasn't it?

Sure. You know what a shell game is?

Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Pine, but I've
never really considered myself a walnut

before.

Excuse me.

Beating the seagulls again?

You know, I fell right into Nicky's
boat.

I was just the kind of pigeon he needed.

Well, you're mixing metaphors, but I
know what you mean.

You're impulsive.

Tell me about it.

You know, last month...

I saved my boss from this maniac who
shot up a deli with an AK -47.

And I figured, yeah, now he'll make me
an investigator.

Instead, he took all the credit, sent me
back to the lab, and he went on Jay

Leno.

So you decided to make a change.

Yeah.

I wanted more.

You know what?

No.

You deserve it.

I think people should get what they
deserve, especially crooks like Charles

Lando. I figured since he wanted the
bracelet, I'd call and offer him a

to get it.

I am Charles Lando, Mr. Buchanan.

We've never met.

But for some reason, you're a meddling
in my affairs.

I am?

I was, uh, I was just helping a friend.

Let me give you the big picture.

Somehow, Pine found out about the jade.

Next, he calls me to make a deal for the
bracelet.

The best piece on the ship.

Best piece?

It's plastic.

Please.

The 10th Dynasty worth half a million. I
get there in time to see Pine toss the

bracelet to his new partner.

Obviously, I'd like it back.

The point is, I'm ready to deal.

Tell her I'll buy it.

Half price.

There it's there.

Landau had taken the bait, but we needed
to make sure he didn't spit it out.

Ryan had to show him the real bracelet.

Rose agreed to let her wear the jade,
but only if Nicky didn't let it out of

sight.

Mr. Landau, we haven't met, but...

Somehow I feel I know you.

Miss McBride.

How about my car?

It's a fine day for an auction.

Yes, it is.

Bidding can start any time you like.

Hello, Charlie.

What's that old saying?

Life goes on?

You should have stayed dead, Nicky. What
do you want?

Just a chat.

Don't get so excited. I just want an
opportunity to explain my point of view

the whole deal.

Your point of view. Thanks to you, I'm
out five million in jade. Now your

partner here wants me to buy back
something I already own.

Pity, pity, pity.

Hey, here's what I want.

I thought you wanted to buy it.

Oh, this will nearly make up for what
I've lost already.

Thanks to him.

Things aren't going exactly according to
plan, are they? Not even close.

Do you really want to try me?

This better be your best day.

You like taking a chance.

You like fish.

What? Lots of fish?

Oh.

Got it all on tape.

Thanks to you, I'm out five million in
change.

Mysterio. Rose gave it to me.

Beautiful thing.

Whoa, what about the bracelet?

I promised Rose I'd keep an eye on it.

Can't break my promise to the woman I
love now, can I?

They say you can't take it with you once
you're dead, but Nikki had died once

for that bracelet, and if he didn't
bring it back to Rose, she'd probably

him for real.

They say you can't take it with you, but
just once, a man should be able to give

something nice to the woman who loves
him.

You think you can change your life, but
you can't even take a

vacation from it.

I wasn't on the beach, but I was still a
lifeguard.

Different kind, maybe.

But then there's more than one way to
drive.

Oh.

You sure you want to play another game?

Cost me a lot of money.

Did I say we were playing for money?

Let's go.

Hey, we are taking off.

Oh, come on. If it'll cheer you up, Andy
said you could use your scarab anytime

you want.

You don't look cheered.

Sorry. If you add things up, it looks
like the...

McBride LRB PI agency is just not going
to happen. Even if I put in 10 grand and

go partners, the LRB McBride agency
would be too far in that.

What?

What's with all this guilt you're laying
on me? I mean, come on.

If I could help you, I would.

Most of the money I got saved is for
Hobie's college education.

And I'm not going to touch that.

Well, what if you thought of it as
like... An investment in the rest of

life.

Come on, Mitch. I mean, I've seen your
work. You have great instinct.

I mean, wouldn't you just once like to
find a Corvette and see McQueen swimming

pool? Just once?

Speaking as a friend?

No. N -O.

The minute he turned around, I knew we
had him.

That's right.

That's exactly how it happened, which
totally proves my point that I started

this agency.

Okay. When you're right, you're right,
and you're right, you started the

Yes, but now I know I just couldn't have
done it without you and Mitch.

This is true.

This is very true.

You know what, partner?

I've sold 56 hot dogs since this morning
at $2 .50 a pop.

We are in the wrong business.

Well, don't worry.

He'll show.

One thing about industrial spies,
they're very punctual.

What did you steal?

A new design for a running shoe.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Speak of the devil.

Oh, and here comes number two.

There's the drop.

Okay. Let's do it. Okay, but wait,
remember, the important thing is the

the man.

Excuse me sir.

There's a price you've got to pay.

You can't run in the night.

You can hear the barren call as another
angel

falls.

The grace of the boulevard in the blink
of an eye.

The devil is watching as we fly into the
night.

In the night.

You can hear his barren call as another
angel falls.
