ANNOUNCER: Previously on SAF3.

Come on.

I'll protect you.

Does it hurt?

Only on the inside.

I love you.

You want to have dinner sometime?

To catch up?

Yeah.

I'd love to.

- Jared. - Dude, it's a date.

Thank you.

[laughs]

I can't hold her.

We're going down.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

SAF3 engine failure.

Prepare for crash.

You have to evacuate.

Go.

[screaming]

ALFONSO: I got one over here.

Hey, sir.

If you can hear me, blink your eyes once.

OK, good.

Now, don't move your head, OK?

Just stay still for me.

Pulse is steady.

All right, squeeze my fingers as hard as you can.

Good, good, good.

Taylor, we're over here.

Hang in there.

His pulse is strong, but I need you

to help me move some of this debris

so we can get him out of here, OK?

Hang in there, OK?

You're going to be fine.

I'm going to check for other victims.

I'm Jared Taylor.

We're going to get you out of here.

Maddox, Daly, I need your hands over here.

His pupils are reactive but slow.

The victim's impaled on a piece of rebar.

I think we're gonna have to cut him out

in order to transport him.

Texas, you're going to have to cut above and below the injury

and immobilize the wound.

We're gonna transport him with the rebar in place.

Copy?

TEXAS: Copy.

LILY: We got this.

Sir?

My name is Lily Maddox.

I'm a firefighter from SAF3.

We're here to help you.

OK, sir, I'm Texas Daly.

I'm gonna get you out of here in a minute, all right?

Hang tight.

Try to stay calm.

OK, take a deep breath.

We're gonna get you to the hospital.

[whirring]

[inaudible],, I got another one over here.

I don't want anything falling on her.

I need O2.

OK.

Hello, ma'am.

I'm a firefighter, OK?

Just hang in there.

In a couple of seconds, I'm going to give you some oxygen.

You'll be breathing normally, OK?

Got it? - Here.

Just breathe.

Just breathe normally.

All right, Taylor, take over.

[inaudible] I got a laceration in the carotid.

I need some gauze and some [inaudible]..

He's going in and out.

We gotta stop the bleeding.

Sir, try to stay awake, OK?

My name is Graciela Vega.

I'm here to help you.

Keep your eyes wide open.

OK.

He's stable.

He's ready for transport.

It's OK.

Just hang in there.

ALFONSO: Come on, guys, let's go, go, go, go, go, go.

[music playing]

[theme music]

THEME SONG: Sunlight break through day.

Feel the hope rush in our veins.

Arms entwined.

Keep us safe.

Give us strength to love, not to fade to white light.

My fate.

And I will hold you tight, keep you safe.

White light.

Keep us safe.

And I will pull you up and I won't break.

White light.

My fate.

I will pull you up even if it pulls me in.

My fate.

Keep us safe.

Keep us safe.

I'll keep you safe.

[music playing]

LILY: There you are.

Been looking for you.

Hey, what's up?

I came out to watch the beach wake up.

My favorite part of the day.

Nothing like the sound of the ocean.

Well, do you want to go for a paddle?

Would love to, but I'm actually meeting Becca

for coffee in a little while.

Oh.

Well, I was hoping we could talk.

Well, I've got a few minutes.

What's up?

You know the captain's test is coming up.

Yeah, next month.

And the last one was four years ago

and who knows when the next one will be.

And I was thinking that you would be the perfect candidate.

Me?

Yes, you.

Look how you took control yesterday

when that balcony collapsed.

You're a natural born leader, Alfonso.

It's why you won the Medal of Valor.

Lily, I appreciate you saying that.

I really do.

But I was just doing my job, no different than you guys.

Besides, I don't think I'm ready to take

on that kind of responsibility.

I've spent my whole life taking care of other people,

and I'm finally getting to a place

where I'm learning to take care of myself.

I'm just thinking about your future.

I know, and I appreciate it.

How about this?

I promise I'll think about it.

Fair enough?

OK, that's fair.

All right.

Now listen to this ocean.

[music playing]

Thanks for coming with me.

I really wanted to get a workout on the water,

and Alfonso was busy with Becca.

Yeah, that seems to be going pretty well.

I'm so happy for him.

Yeah.

So the captain's test is coming up.

I'm hoping he's going to take it.

He'd be a great captain.

If he'd just go back to regular duty, doing what we loves.

Do you think he wants to promote?

Well, why wouldn't he?

It's the practical thing to do.

Yeah, you're right.

Wow, look.

I think that's Charlie swimming over there.

Let's go see if it is.

Casey?

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm getting myself in shape.

I'm trying out for the rookie lifeguard swim.

Wow.

That's great.

Yeah, I'm really excited.

Anyway, I'm going to swim in.

I'll see you guys later.

OK, bye.

See you soon.

Wow, I didn't see that one coming.

Yeah, well, it makes sense.

She's around all of us.

She wants to be part of it.

[music playing]

Nice shot.

[laughter]

[yelling]

Yo, Alfonso.

Hey, what's up, guys?

Hey you.

Hey.

Yo, man, how come you didn't tell us that your girl here

can play like that?

You saw her play softball.

I figured you'd know.

Yeah, but doing softball--

Guys, please.

What are you up to?

I just got off of duty.

About to go for a jog.

You wanna join?

I'd love to, but I've got to get to work.

We're still on for dinner, right?

Yeah, dinner at the Sunset.

Can't wait.

Rematch, Saturday.

You're on, Becca.

Hey, and thanks for embarrassing

us in front of all these people. Real nice of you.

Yeah, and next time you're on our team, OK?

Yo, she has a wicked jump serve, man.

Yeah, dude, you gotta hold onto her.

She's a keeper.

Definitely a keeper.

She's smart, funny, strong, hot.

Hot?

Dude, who says hot?

MAN: Dude, I'm married. [inaudible] the game.

What's wrong with hot?

I think what he's trying to say is she's the full package.

Yeah.

I'm out of here.

You know, I have to agree with the boys.

She does have the full package, which

I'm kind of confused about, because I don't

know what she sees in you.

[laughter]

Looks like you've given up completely.

Man, I keep wondering that myself.

What you mean?

Looks like things are going good between you two.

I mean, it's all right.

Just all right?

It's a little bit better than all right, man.

Man, I'm just taking it one day at a time.

Gotta keep them guessing.

Yeah, I guess, man.

Come on, man.

[music playing]

Hey Lily, can I ask you something?

No, I'm not cooking tonight.

Thank God.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

No seriously, I need to get a woman's opinion.

Oh.

Well, that sounds serious.

You've come to the right person.

So what do women look for in a guy?

Um, well, the first thing I look for is a sense of humor.

And then I can't speak for all women,

but I like a man who's a man, you know?

Makes me feel special, who isn't afraid to let

me know that I matter, that I'm not replaceable.

OK, well, what about looks?

Mm, it's not really that important.

I mean, we have to have chemistry,

but we're not like guys in that we don't just look for hot,

you know?

We like a man with a good job and a future.

And not because I want him to buy me things,

but because having a steady job says

a lot about man's personality and his ability to commit.

OK.

So it's not so much about looks as in money in the bank.

No.

Well, yeah, kind of.

OK, we look for a strong man who isn't afraid to commit

and who will take care of us, because we'll

take care of them.

All right.

So a captain's position would be appealing because it

shows commitment and a future.

Really? You're going to take the test?

Yeah.

[laughter]

That was a really roundabout way of telling me.

And I already printed off the application.

Of course you did.

Where have you been hiding it?

It's right over here.

There it is.

All right.

Here we go.

[knocking on door]

Oh, I'll get it.

All right.

All right, application.

[inaudible]

It's a little something from our friends at the Coast Guard.

Little?

I wonder what it is.

[music playing]

Good.

All right.

Ready, set, go.

[music playing]

Man, you're really fast.

I'm never gonna make it.

Casey, I swim every day.

I'm on the swim team and competing in nationals.

Of course I'm gonna be faster than you.

I should just quit while I'm ahead.

Oh, come on.

It's only your second day of training.

It's going to get easier.

Remember why you're doing this.

You can't give up.

You're right.

I thought it would be nice [inaudible] at the school

by the time John got home.

I just didn't know it would be this hard.

And I thought you were going to help me

but you're just swimming beside me.

I need help.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I'm just super focused on nationals.

I thought swimming beside you would help,

but I don't know, maybe not.

It does, kind of.

I'm gonna get in the jacuzzi.

Wow.

Where'd that come from?

Coasties.

They found the wreckage too.

They have verified coordinates?

Yep.

Ay dios.

Where'd that come from?

Looks like they found the Helo.

We have to go and see it.

What's on your mind?

You seem far away.

I'm thinking about taking a captain's test next month.

Oh yeah?

Yeah.

Lily suggested it, and I think it's a good idea.

And I don't know when the next test will come up again,

and if I were to get it, that means job security

and a pretty decent pay bump.

What do you think?

I think you're a first responder, Alfonso.

You told me that you loved the adrenaline

of being on the front line.

That's true.

And wouldn't this job take you away from SAF3?

[sighs]

So you're really going to the crash site.

Yeah, you come with.

No thanks.

You sure you don't want to come with us?

Don't need to.

All right.

It's something we all went through together.

We should all go.

You guys go.

I'm good.

OK.

But if you change your mind, we're going

to be leaving in the morning.

Not interesting, but thanks.

What was that about?

Reality.

You see, every pilot knows that if you put in enough hours,

the chance of an accident just become greater and greater.

Trust me.

He knows how lucky we are that we all survived.

Yeah.

It's one of the reasons why I want to go.

Well, we all deal with things in our own ways.

But you got to respect that man for knowing what he wants.

Yeah, you're right.

OK, if we land it here, that should take us.

Come on.

Come, Jackson.

Hey.

Dr. Wells. - Alfonso.

So good to see you.

Good to see you too.

I would give you a hug, but I'm a little sweaty.

That's all right.

Who's this little guy?

This is Jackson.

Hey, Jackson.

Hey.

So have you been?

Been good, good.

Work's good, and I'm actually seeing someone.

Good for you.

Yeah, yeah, she's pretty amazing.

It's funny I run into you, though,

because I was thinking about giving you

a call to talk more about it.

This is my first relationship since the accident,

and I just, I keep doubting myself.

It's perfectly natural.

Come see me.

All right, I'll make an appointment this week.

Good.

In the meantime, try to spend some time

doing whatever it is that makes you feel good about yourself.

I could do that.

Yeah.

I'm sure you can.

All right, cool, thanks, Doc.

Bye, Jackson.

All right, I'll see you guys later.

All right.

[music playing]

ALFONSO: Ha ha, look at me.

Look how high I'm going.

Alfonso, come over and push me higher.

OK, OK, OK, all right.

All right, you ready?

Mm-hmm.

Hold on.

Whee!

One more.

Woo-hoo!

[laughs]

Hey, you know what?

I got an idea.

Why don't we get some ice cream?

Yeah!

I love ice cream.

All right, come on, let's go.

I had so much fun with you today.

Me too.

My mom said I could go to the park with you any time.

Good, I like that.

Me too.

All right, what flavor do you want?

- Chocolate. - Chocolate.

That sounds good to me.

Two cups of chocolate, please.

Two chocolate, coming up.

Two chocolate.

School starts in just three weeks.

Then Girl Scouts starts one week after that.

My mom says I can still be in the troop

even though she's afraid of camping trips now.

I guess your mom does have a reason.

However, you should tell her that camping

trips sometimes are fun.

I know, that's what I told her too.

[laughs]

My mom says you have a girlfriend.

She did, did she?

Mm-hmm.

Well, yes.

I like somebody.

Can I meet her?

Absolutely.

Hopefully soon.

Do you love her?

Well, let's just say that I like her a lot.

You kiss her?

Colby, you're not supposed to be

asking those kind of questions.

[laughs]

She's actually a fireman too.

That's what I want to be when I grow up.

I want to save lives just like you.

Well, you know, I'm thinking about going for a new job.

Maybe becoming a captain.

That sounds cool.

As long as you can still rescue people,

that's all that matters.

Hey, Charlie.

Hey.

How's the training going?

Um, I don't know.

What does that mean?

I'm not going to make it to nationals this year.

What are you talking about?

You've been training so hard.

Yeah, and at the beginning of the summer,

my times were getting better.

But ever since I've gotten back from Cape Town,

they keep getting slower.

You've just lost focus.

What's distracting you?

Actually, Casey.

OK, but you're back now, so it's time to focus.

Yeah, but now she wants to be a lifeguard.

Which is great, and she asked for my help,

but it doesn't seem to be good for either of us.

Yeah.

She needs someone to coach her, not swim with her.

Just ask someone else.

You're right.

You free?

No.

Last girl I coached quit my team.

[laughter]

Funny.

Yeah, I'm just kidding.

You know I'm here every day.

Just send her over.

Really?

Yeah.

Thanks, Bryce.

There you go.

Great, thanks.

Thank you.

Oh, hey, Becca.

Chloe, hi.

Nice to see I'm not the only Malibu addict around here.

[laughter]

Are you kidding?

If I didn't get back with enough for everyone at the station,

they'll change the locks.

Right.

Serious.

Hey, has Alfonso mentioned the captain's test to you?

Yeah, he told me about it last night.

It's a great opportunity.

I just know he'll crush it.

He'll make a great captain.

But the truth is, it doesn't really matter what either of us

wants for him.

What matters is if it makes him happy.

He needs to follow his heart.

Yeah, you're right.

Well, it was nice seeing you.

Same to you.

Bye.

Have room for one more?

Of course we do.

I'm glad you decided to come.

I guess I realized I--

I need to see it.

[splashing]

[music playing]

[thundering]

I wasn't sure if I came here out

of curiosity or for closure, but now I know it was closure.

I can't believe we got out of it.

I brought this out here for a reason.

Because we all need to let go.

Graci, Jared.

Here's to second chances at life.

And to letting go.

[music playing]

I'm glad we did this.

I'm glad we did this together.

Come on, let's go home, man.

First test is going to be in the shallow pool.

Your swim is coming along, but it's only a small part

of the rookie swim.

A lot of times the race is won or lost in the shallows.

You gotta to know how to porpoise through the surf.

So basically, you dive through the water like a dolphin,

grab sand on the bottom, and then launch

yourself into another dive.

OK.

[music playing]

VOCALIST: Feel the light inside the dark.

Hold to love and find the mark.

Angels turning over stones.

So far away, so far alone.

I will choose the way.

The sun's come out to stay and I will choose the way, for I know

the sun will carry us away.

And if the thunder clouds should rain,

I will swim the tides again.

Sun will come in skies of blue.

Come to cling the tide till true.

[inaudible] I will choose the way.

The sun's come out to stay.

You know, it seems so strange around headquarters

with Eriksson gone.

Yeah, but with him being gone, you know,

it's thrown me into the position of being a leader, which

I'm not 100% comfortable with.

Oh.

I had no idea you felt that way.

Yeah, but honestly, it's not a bad thing.

It's just made me realize I'm not 100%

ready to take the captain's test.

I'm sorry, Lily.

I know how much you wanted me to do it.

You have nothing to be sorry for.

I just want you to be happy.

Seriously?

Yup.

Oh, I've been meaning to tell you, I really like Becca.

From what I can tell, she's good for you, and I like that.

[laughs]

You lapped me.

Way to go.

Looks like you're getting faster.

I feel like I'm focused again.

Good.

And I thought about what you said,

and I realized that I was making excuses just like Casey was.

I mean, I've dreamed of going to nationals forever.

I'm not giving up now.

There's the Charlie I know.

Thanks for putting up with us.

With me.

[inaudible]

Hey, coach.

Hey.

I'm passing the baton today.

Charlie is going to work with you on some other key issues

for the rookie swim.

Oh.

Awesome.

See you later.

I'm gonna take a shower.

See you.

[clears throat]

You ready?

Yes.

So you're in good shape physically,

but we have to get you ready for the interview.

Interview?

Yup.

If you make the top 40, you'll immediately

be sent for an interview.

OK.

First thing you have to do, this is really important,

you have to shut down your Facebook account.

No.

No way.

I have like 1,200 friends.

I'm sure they will understand.

Trust me on this.

It's the first place the interviewer

is going to look to try and dig up some dirt on you.

Why is it so strict?

Well, what somebody does off the beach

is just as important as what they do on the job.

Fine.

I'll deactivate it for a while.

OK.

Now let's talk about what you're going to wear.

You can wear a dress or a nice skirt.

Knee length.

And had just come from a swim, so your hair will be wet,

and it's just a ponytail.

OK.

I'm starting to get nervous.

Don't be.

You're going to be great.

And Bryce and I will be at the finish line cheering you on.

OK.

You know, I'm really impressed that you're doing this.

You set a goal and you're following through.

Really?

You think so?

Well, I'm proud of you.

Come on.

[music playing]

She's really late.

Where is she?

I don't know.

I've called and texted her multiple times.

No response.

She's gonna miss it.

I just don't understand why she wouldn't be here.

We had the whole day planned out.

I even have clothes for the interview in my car.

MAN: On your mark, get set.

[horn honks]

[applause]

What are you doing?

Lying out.

So you gave up?

Well, I realized I was never going to make it anyway.

Casey, you thought that before you even started training.

It's not about that.

It's about trying.

Bryce put in a lot of time to help you.

The least you could have done was call.

You quit on him too.

He got over it.

Really?

That's all you have to say?

I'm sorry, I just, I thought you'd both be mad.

We are mad.

We were there waiting for you to show our support.

We both put in time and energy to help you.

What you did was rude and disrespectful,

but the worst part about it is that you don't even realize it.

You owe Bryce and me an apology.

I said I'm sorry.

You know, every time I think I have you figured out,

you do something completely out in left field.

You self sabotage everything, Casey.

Your owe an apology to Bryce and me.

I said I'm sorry.

Yeah, well, it'd be nice if you meant it.

Well?

He said he's disappointed in me and I shouldn't have quit

and I should finish what I start.

Well, he's right.

I know.

I'll try harder.

Charlie, you're the best friend I've ever had.

If you just keep kicking my butt,

you know, maybe I'll stop messing up.

I know you're still mad, but can I buy you some frozen yogurt?

We can look at our Cape Town pics.

Sure.

Come on.

I'm really happy you're here with me.

Me too.

And I want to thank you for always listening.

Sometimes I feel like you know me better than I know myself.

Well, as we all know, Dunnigan started this bonfire tradition

so we can let go of those things that we all need to let go of.

Texas thought it'd be cool this year

if we all threw something in the fire as a way of letting go.

So I'm letting go by trusting what's coming next.

I'm letting go by believing that everything

happens for a reason.

And I'm letting go of Dunnigan.

I guess I always just couldn't believe

that it was his time to go.

But like Graci said, we all got to believe that all things

happen in the right time.

Well, I'm just learning to let go.

[laughter]

I don't have anything to throw in.

However, I do want to thank all of you,

including Becca, for supporting me

and accepting me for who I am.

I love you guys.

I love you too.
