and he took it.
He never had
much of a bedside manner.
He's a water dog, Jake,
and as it turns out,
not a half-bad teacher.
Best of luck.
Jacob Fischer, Kodiak, Alaska.
Congratulations, Jake.
Make us proud up there.
Aye, aye, Captain.
Scott Reeves, Sitka, Alaska.
Ladies and gentlemen, your graduates.
MAN: Oorah!
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
-Congratulations.
-Thanks a lot.
-Good job, guys.
-Good luck.
-Well, congratulations.
-Thank you.
It's okay.
We both knew
where this was going, right?
Just casual.
Right.
To getting what you've always wanted.
And always wanting more.
Take care of yourself, Jake.
-I gotta go to work.
-Yeah.
Bye.
HADLEY: Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the Rock.
I'm Captain William Hadley,
CO of Kodiak Air Station.
-Fischer.
-Yeah, right here.
Mr. Mitcheltree will square you away.
The rest of you,
step up here with Mr. Christiansen.
He will process you in.
(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)
Oh, amazing.
Not only does he come back
in great shape,
but he still thinks he can cook.
-Hello, Jake. Welcome.
-How you doing?
-Good to see you again.
-You guys keep it warm here, huh?
Glad to know
you know where a free meal is.
We need three crews in Sitka
for the weekend.
You make sure that happens.
And the stand team arrives here
next Tuesday.
Patch things up with the wife?
You fix things up with that young lady?
Well, you still have a choice, you know.
Hey, there's a question
I wanted to ask you back in school
and I didn't.
But when you can't save them all,
how do you choose who lives?
It's probably different
for everybody, Jake.
Kind of simple for me, though. I just...
I take the first one I come to
or the weakest one in the group,
and then I swim
as fast and as hard as I can
for as long as I can.
And the sea takes the rest.
Think I'm ready?
I'm not your teacher anymore, Jake.
I'm just your fellow swimmer.
That's not exactly
the answer I'm looking for there.
If I did not think you were ready,
I would not put you in the Bering Sea.
FEMALE DISPATCHER:
6030, this is Kodiak Ops Cent.
We are diverting your training mission
at this time.
We have two young kayakers
swept into the cave
one mile south of Saltery Cove.
-How copy?
-PILOT 1: 6030 copies.
-We're diverting at this time.
-We've got a real case now.
Okay, guys, that tide's coming in,
and we've got six- to eight-foot rollers
coming from the north.
Senior, what do you think
about taking Fischer with you on this?
I want him with me.
All right? He's good to go.
BEN: I don't think it's gonna be
a problem sliding in there.
I think the problem's gonna be
coming back out.
That's why I got Jake with me.
Got my human speedboat.
PILOT 2: Kodiak Ops, this is 6030.
We're on-scene at this time.
No sign of kayakers.
I'm taking her down.
Cabin door is open and locked.
PILOT 1: Those are definitely
ten-foot waves.
Swimmer's coming to the door.
Remember, all right?
You got the whole weight of the ocean
punching through that opening.
You gotta read the hydraulics,
gotta count the waves,
then wait for the flush.
CREWMAN: Checking swimmer.
Sure as hell hope
you paid attention in class, Speedboat.
Swimmers in the water.
Swimmers okay.
Swimmer Two is making contact
with Swimmer One.
VICTIM 1: Hey!
Over here!
-Here.
-Over here!
Got them. Three o'clock.
Right here.
We're rescue swimmers.
We're gonna get you out of here.
VICTIM 2: Can't believe
you guys actually got here.
Give me your hand.
JAKE: Just the two of you?
Yeah, yeah. His arm's hurt real bad.
All right.
Swimmer One. I got two survivors.
It's gonna be a basket pickup here.
BEN: Roger.
Broken here?
You take him first.
