[Jessie] Allie, do you read me?

I got a 15-foot shadow that just passed underneath my board.

[suspenseful music]

-[man] Shark! -[woman] Look out! It's a shark!

[screaming]

[Allie] God, we can't let that happen.

Jessie! Jason! We can't say the word.

We have to control this. Stop it before it starts.

Yeah, I'm here. How do you want me to handle this?

Jason, we can't afford to have a panic.

If anyone of us hears what it is, you know what will happen.

Copy that. Jessie, you read me?

-I read you. -Alright, you have it spotted?

Yeah, I've got it.

What are our options?

Not many. It's a good 15 feet. It's moving slowly toward the beach.

Is there any way you can cut it off? Turn it?

No, the water's too deep. It's still outside the break line.

It's my move. We'll use the jet ski.

What I'll do is I'll pull it in and turn the exhaust nozzle down,

blast a column of air at it, maybe that'll scare it away.

Okay, that's worth a try.

It's worked before. Just never this close to a beach.

I'm on my way.

[suspenseful music]

This guy ain't afraid of it. He ain't moving.

[engine accelerating]

-He's not moving at all. -[Jessie] There's something wrong with it.

I'm going to check it out.

Ready?

[suspenseful music]

[gasping]

-Oh, God. That's terrible. -I know. I mean,

if you have to kill it to defend yourself, maybe I can understand,

but to mutilate it and just let it die.

We gotta get it out of here before someone freaks.

Who would do something like this? It's disgusting.

Will you help me tie it to the ski?

Alright.

[Jessie] I can't get the image out of my mind. It was so sad. So tragic.

I understand that we fish to eat. And we harvest the ocean,

but how could anybody do that?

How could anybody cut off its fins and just leave it there to die?

It's disgusting.

It's obscene to mutilate any animal like that.

To slaughter a great fish, just for its fins is immoral.

It's not about morality, Jessie.

It's about money.

[Allie] That's right, Jessie. It's a big market.

Shark fins are considered an aphrodisiac.

Does that justify it to you guys?

So that some guy in New York or Hong Kong can get a little help with his girlfriend?

Please!

Buy her a box of chocolates.

It's not just sex. It's medicinal.

Shark fins are supposed to stop aging, cure certain illnesses.

Jess, I'm sorry. I just cannot get sentimental about a shark.

To me, it's like a poisonous snake. You see it, you kill it,

because the next person that comes along may not be so lucky.

Tongues.

What?

Buffalo were killed for their tongues

and their entire carcasses left there to rot.

This isn't about harvesting, you guys, it's about slaughtering.

And you're right, it is about money.

And that is exactly what makes it so disgusting,

because it's also about murdering and mutilation

and it's wrong.

And it's not just wrong.

It's evil.

It's just evil.

[opening theme song]

You okay?

That image of that dead shark just won't go away.

I can't get it out of my head.

Right now I want to see if he's alive, but he's, he's like mutilated. [sighs]

Well, maybe he's looking for your help.

You think so?

I don't know. I mean, it's very possible.

But I still think you should talk to someone.

Well, let's get out of here. I don't want to be here.

[Sean] Jessie, what are you doing?

Following the money.

[Sean] Money for what?

The shark fins.

When you want to know how something works, all you have to do is follow the money.

Who's buying, who's selling. And what's being paid.

And then what?

-Stop them. -Jessie...

Jessie!

-What? -You're getting carried away.

We have our own work to do.

Right.

Right. [clears throat]

-I'm just curious, you know? -Well, forget about it.

That's not our job. We're lifeguards, not ecologists, not environmentalists.

Right. So, what's on for today?

You, Newmie and Allie are on jet ski patrol on Kaneohe.

Great.

Hey, Newmie, let's hit it.

We are fascinated by them, aren't we?

Yeah. Everyone loves Shark Week on the discovery channel.

But, it's more people like us, people who work around the water.

Probably, because we know he's down there.

You know what I think?

It's like... you know that feeling you sometimes have

when you look down from the ledge of a tall building?

Not that you're going to fall,

but that you want to jump.

That morbid fascination.

You ever get that feeling?

Okay, I know, it's weird, but I equate that to my feelings about sharks.

I'd love to be in the water with a shark, a big tiger, and not in a cage.

Alongside it.

This great predator. To feel its energy and power. Mhm!

[laughs] You make that sound sexual.

[laughing] Ah, do I?

Isn't that interesting.

-[Koalani] It's as if you had to see it. -[Jason] Yeah, more than I expected.

I don't understand, though. I mean...

I'm not emotional about death. I've seen it. Animals. Humans.

But this...

this was different.

Amakoa. The sharks.

Our spiritual ancestors. They watch over their living descendants.

If you are of the ocean.

You said I was.

The shark is your brother.

I guess that's why I felt so torn apart.

Perhaps.

What do you mean, perhaps?

I mean, you said my Mana was Keakoa, in the ocean.

You sounded so sure.

You will only know, truly know,

if your Mana is of the ocean, if when you see the Amakoa again,

you find out for yourself whether it is your enemy

or your protector.

[action music]

[Jason] Group Honolulu, this is Baywatch Hawaii, Scarab,

we have a victim about halfway off the cliffs.

[man] Roger that, Baywatch Hawaii. Standing by.

[fisherman] Help! Help! I'm slipping.

Okay. Jessie, circle in.

We are not going to do this from the water.

[screaming] Help! Hurry! I can't hang on.

[suspenseful music]

Okay. The surf's too rough.

The only way he's coming down is if I climb up and get him.

-Let's do it. -Alright.

-I'll stay here as back-up. -Go, go, go!

[action music]

-Help! Help! -I'm coming, man, hold on.

[Jason] Hang on, buddy!

Group Honolulu, This is Baywatch Hawaii, Scarab One.

Alert the Coast Guard for a possible air pick-up.

I'm coming, man, I'm almost there!

I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die! I can't move. I'm gonna fall.

You're not gonna die. No reason to die. [groans]

-Help! -Relax.

-[gasps] Catch your breath. -I'm gonna die, bro.

Take a deep breath.

-You can breathe, right? -Yeah, I can breathe.

-Alright. Take a nice, long, deep breath. -Okay.

-Alright. Breathe. Ready? -Okay.

-Ready... Breathe! -[fisherman screams]

You're crazy! You're crazy!

-Okay. Now calm down. -Blondie, take me with you.

[gasps]

-He's crazy! -Hold on.

-You're on? -Pull me up.

-Got it? -Got it. Go, go, go!

Hey, I'm gonna run down the cliffs to check for others.

I'm getting plenty of that chum out there. This is going to be our best day yet!

[action music]

It's chum.

Those jerks are at it again and this close to shore.

Not on my watch!

[action music continues]

Jessie, come in. Come in, Jessie.

[Sean] Jessie this is Sean. Do you read me?

-This is Jessie. Go ahead. - Hey, where are you?

-[radio beeping] -There's a trail of chum in the water.

Jessie, that's not our business, now we had this discussion, before.

Sean, they're out here again, mutilating and torturing these animals.

Never mind that. Just come in.

Sean, we can't let them keep doing this. It's wrong.

Jessie, come in, now.

-[jamming] -Sorry, I can't hear you.

Jessie, don't do this--

-Where is she? -Off Kaneohe.

I love this girl, but we gotta stop her.

If she catches up with those shark hunters,

we know what she's gonna do.

She'll play Greenpeace.

Exactly. Allie, can you get your helicopter?

-Yeah. -I'll be in the Scarab. Let's go.

[action music]

[JD] Jessie, do you read me, come in.

Jessie, this is JD.

[JD] Can you hear me? Over.

Come on, Jessie, talk to me. I know you're listening.

-Man, that girl is stubborn. -No, it's more than that.

People see Jessie, they think beautiful, California, athletic.

But, there's another side of Jessie.

You don't see it often, but when it comes... it's scary.

Certain things set her off.

-Like this shark hunter. -Yeah.

She sees a mindless mutilation

and she becomes consumed by a kind of rage.

Good versus Evil. Right against wrong. Protecting the innocent.

A shark? Innocent?

In Jessie's eyes it's an injustice and she's going to set it right.

-Regardless of the cost, huh? -Regardless of the cost to her, yeah.

But it's a wonderful quality.

A very dangerous one, too.

[Sean over the radio] JD, this is Sean. Any sign of Jessie, yet?

-[radio beeping] -Nothing so far.

[Sean over the radio] Jessie, this is Sean. Do you read me, over.

[action music continues]

Hey, Jiggs, we got company!

Hey! Lady! That's not safe.

Hey!

We get knots in these lines, we're gonna have to cut them loose.

-Start all over! -Hey! Knock it off!

She's trying to cut the line.

That broad is crazy!

[action music continues]

What're you doing? Get outta the way.

We gotcha now, baby.

[alarm signal]

[suspenseful music]

[Allie over the radio] Sean, this is Allie.

I think we found the trail of shark hunters.

Damn!

We got the chum slick.

[Jiggs] Aw, the pretty lady got herself wet.

[laughing]

Well, it looks like you had yourself a little accident.

Anything we can do?

Yeah. Drop dead!

Wow, you're nasty. Let me toss you something that'll help.

[screaming] Ah!

[laughing]

[suspensuful music]

Okay, Jessie, the food is on the surface. So go as deep as you can.

[suspenseful music continues]

[Sean] Allie, this is Sean, what's happening?

We're following the chum.

How far do you make us?

You're about a mile away and on course.

[gasps]

There she is! There's Jessie.

[Allie] Oh, my God! She's in the middle of the chum.

[suspenseful music continues]

Oh, my God. There's a shark.

-Come on, Sean. Kick it! -I'm giving it all she's got.

Damn, it's going in for her.

-Do you have a weapon? A rifle? Anything? -No, this is a tour helicopter.

Maybe we can distract it.

Damn. It's not working!

I'm going in.

[suspenseful music continues]

No! Wait, wait!

There's the Scarab. They've got her.

-[Sean] Jessie, are you alright? -Yeah, I'm fine.

But they crashed the jet ski, and it sank.

Never mind the jet ski. Let's just get home.

No... not yet.

Jason. What're you doing?

Look, guys, Koalani says if the ocean is my Mana, then the shark is my brother.

I gotta know.

-Jason, don't. -Jason!

Get back in the boat!

[suspenseful music]

Oh, my God!

Shark's moving toward him.

-Let's get him out of there. -No, let's stay out of this.

Jason has a right to know.

He's not moving.

Something very important just happened to him.

Okay,

so let's find the guy who dumped the chum and make sure he never does it again.

Chasing this guy is a waste of time.

Look, he's got to be in the harbor just past those cliffs.

He rammed me on the jet ski and left me in the middle of the ocean.

I guarantee you he called the Coast Guard from a landline the minute he got in.

Said that his radio was out.

Told them about some crazy woman on a jet ski and made up some excuse

on why he couldn't help you. It's gonna be your word against his.

Well, what about the shark fins?

Jessie, it isn't illegal.

Well, maybe it should be and we should do something about it.

What? What're you going to do? Look, no matter how much you hate him,

or how much he deserves it, there's nothing you can do.

Well, maybe I can't accept that. It's wrong.

Jessie,

there are a lot of things that are wrong in this world. We can't fix them all.

But, help me fix this one.

Please.

There it is.

-Are you sure? -Yup. That's it.

Hey. This line's loose.

Hey, Porter, look who's here.

Hey.

You're kinda cute.

Hi,

I'm here to make sure you don't run.

From what?

The police.

Really? Eh. Am I in trouble? Did, did I do something wrong?

Or are you going to turn yourself in for that stupid stunt you pulled

where you ran into my boat?

You can check with the Coast Guard and the local police.

There's a warrant out for your arrest, right now.

Lady, you can't act like that on the ocean.

You should know better.

[Sean] Oh, my!

Did I do that? I'm sorry. Sometimes I can be so clumsy.

-Hey! -Ah, ah, ah.

I'm not sure you want to be too close when I drop this in there.

Mister,

you just called out the wrong cowboy.

And you, bitch, you brought him here.

[Jessie] Ah!

[grunting]

[shouting indistinctly]

-You alright? -[Porter moans]

Alright, alright, alright.

Your ass is grass, mister. I'll see you in jail.

Well, that may be truer than you think.

You've got no life preservers on board. No fire extinguishers.

You're leaking fuel from the bilge, and that's leaking into the harbor.

This boat's not leaving the dock.

Not now.

Maybe not ever.

That's gonna cost twenty thousand dollars.

Look again. More like forty.

Of course, there is no way to enforce the impound

until the office opens on Monday morning.

And if you and this boat are gone by then, and never come back,

well, it'll be really hard for us to collect on these fines.

What're we gonna do now?

Get the hell out of here.

Can you do that?

Get the lines, Jiggs. C'mon.

Well, I don't know.

But I doubt they'll stick around long enough to find out.

Wow. That's a lot of emotion from Iceman.

No kidding.

[Hawaiian music]

Koalani, I touched the shark. It was just like, ah--

Hey, E Hamau.

Some feelings, some knowledge, some emotions,

should not be put into words.

You know how you felt. You know what it meant to you.

The words are only going to steal the true meaning,

because words are so limited.

-It's time for you to become kama'aina. -How?

[laughs] Words.

Bring your family, then you'll see.

I really don't have a family.

Not true.

You're right. I do have a family.

They must dress Kaminehah, Pono. Be as you... Kaminehah.

You can't be serious.

You are? Wow! That's fantastic. Thanks.

You guys, you know the redneck boat from Florida?

They already sailed. They sneaked out of the harbor as soon as we left.

The plan worked.

-Yeah! -Great!

Thank you.

-I need a family. -Family? What for?

-It's for my Ho'omawea. -Ho'omawea?

Wow. What a great honor.

It means that, ah, Jason has been accepted as one of the Hawaiian people.

And he definitely needs his family there.

Congratulations. That's awesome.

You know Wailea, right?

-Yes. -You go to her.

She's gonna dress you guys.

It's traditional.

-Wailea, thank you so much for helping us. -Oh, my pleasure.

Okay, ladies, choose your colors.

I like this one. [chuckles]

-Wow, these are so beautiful. -I want the blue one.

Ah, I'll have the melon. It goes better with my hair.

[Dawn] Wow, this is beautiful.

Ah, Lei po'o. A floral crown.

Wow, this makes me feel like a princess.

I think now we need island names.

Ah, yeah. What would mine be?

We pick island names because they reveal something about the person.

I think I'd call you Mahealani.

-[mouth words] -Oh, that's perfect.

What does it mean?

It means the light from a full moon.

-Oh! -Ah, wow!

Wow. What about me?

Mm... Kamoani.

-Oh, I love that. -Ah.

It means a unique soft, fragrant breeze. One of a kind.

-Oh! -Very nice.

-What about Allie? -Yeah, what about me?

Ah, Allie Kamauloa.

Kamauloa?

-Oh, my... Wailea, that's perfect. -Why? What does it mean?

That means, ah, constant, for all time.

-Kamauloa. -Oh!

That fits Allie.

[gasps] Ah, these are fantastic.

I love the blue in this sarong.

-It matches my bikini top perfectly. -Yeah.

-Ah, Jess? -Yes?

That's all there is.

A skirt and flowers...

and a crown?

You got your traditional names for a traditional ceremony.

[chuckles] Wait a minute. We wear this tiny bit of cloth...

flowers and nothing else?

So, no top?

-No top. -Ah, she's just putting us on. [laughs]

-[Jessie laughs] -It's the way of our islands.

But,

but, no bikini top? That means that we wear nothing?

Well, you've got your leis.

-Well, that's it? -That's it.

-I can't do that. -It's pono.

-Ah, very good, Dawn. -What's pono?

Well, in this case, pono means authentic.

No, in this case pono means we're naked.

It is our way. It's traditional. It's pre-contact. It's who we were.

It's how we were before we were influenced by the haole.

It's natural.

But listen, you guys, I mean, you really, if you don't want to go, I'll go.

-It's important to Jason. -We don't want to let him down.

No, we don't.

[Jessie] Um...

So... do you have lots more of these?

Take all you want. I think you'll be surprised.

[Jessie laughs]

Well, I'll tell you this much, you'll never feel more like a woman.

-Ah! -[Kekoa] And one more thing.

-What's that? -We'll be required to dance.

-Oh, oh. [laughs] -I don't know the Hula.

That's okay. Wailea is going to show us how.
