-hobie? -hey, heather.

Want to build A sand castle with us?

-no, thanks. Tony wants to see you.

-I gotta get home.

-he said to meet him Where the homeless sleep Under the pier

Or he's going To come to my house.

And he said To meet him alone.

-this is quinn In tower 26.

I've got multiple victims Caught in a riptide.

I need immediate backup.

Don't try to swim in!

Swim sideways.

Sideways!

-both: Ah!

-[siren wailing]

-[both coughing]

-you realize that girl Just saved your life, Don't you?

-it's her job!

-look, I knew She was drinking.

I should have stopped her, But I didn't.

I just warned her Not to go in the water.

-just like You had a date with slade?

You're a liar And everyone knows it.

-slade: She's telling the truth.

The lifeguard warned her Not to go in the water. I heard it.

And we did have a date. I'm the one who blew it.

-looks like the ocean Just froze over.

-tony: Psst! Over here.

This way.

-where are you?

-[pier creaking]

-come on, let's go.

Over here.

Now it's time for you To make up your mind

Whose side you're on. -ow!

[gasps]

-so what's it gonna be? Him or me?

-I'm telling you, mitch--

I talked to The liquor-store owner 10 minutes ago.

Hobie fits the description Of the kid who witnessed The fight.

-if he was there, I swear I'll ground him For a year.

Landon, do you have any idea Where hobie is?

-my old man gave me this.

You don't do what I say, You're going to get worse From me.

-[pier creaking]

-ah! Ah!

Paul, go get him!

-[siren wailing]

-mitch: There he is.

-I'm borrowing your truck!

-you got it.

-dad! -you all right?

-dad, I'm sorry, I disobeyed you.

I went to the liquor store After you told me not to

And now those guys Are after me.

-okay. It's okay.

Hobie, I know You saw the fight.

Everything is going to be okay If you just tell the truth.

-that's just it! I didn't see anything.

I just told heather I did So she would think I was cool.

-it's okay, man. It's okay.

-mom, did you make Many friends in high school?

-not many. -was it awful?

-no. But it's not How many friends you make.

It's how many friends You keep.

-garner said I have to Testify against andy And his friends

About what happened Under the pier.

-he's right.

-all because I didn't listen to you. -right again.

-now you're probably Going to ground me.

You are batting 1,000.

-I don't get it.

How come when You know something is wrong,

Sometimes you still Do it anyway?

-that's a good question.

I think a lot of it Has to do with peer pressure.

Being afraid that You're not going to fit in.

-so how do you stop?

-you gotta ask yourself A question.

"What's more important?

"That all my friends Like me,

Or I like myself?"

-yeah, I guess friends Come and go.

But you've got to live With yourself.

-not only that-- I gotta live with you.

-yeah, but parent pressure Is a lot worse

Than peer pressure. -no way.

Because whatever you do...

I'll always love you.

-I love you too, dad.

-good.

'cause this is the last time

You're allowed To boogie board for a month.

-wait, dad! Dad, that's not fair!

Hey!
