can't!
You gotta lower me down now!
Get me out of here!
-You gotta lower me down!
-I can't!
I'll free-fall!
If I do, you don't come back.
I can't! I can't lose two!
Lost swimmer. Lost swimmer.
He saw the cable coming apart.
He just let go.
He was about 80, 90 feet up, sir.
He didn't come up. I don't see him.
Flash landing hover lights.
Monitor the radio, sir.
Look for flares, strobes, anything.
He fell right in the debris.
Lost swimmer. Lost swimmer.
JAKE: The Coast Guard conducted
one of the largest
search-and-rescue missions
for a single man in its history,
but the body of Senior Chief
Ben Randall was never found.
I'm sorry, Helen.
There's nothing more we can do.
(SOBBING)
JAKE: What makes a legend?
Is it what someone did
when they were alive...
HADLEY: Randall never was much
for this sort of thing.
JAKE: ...or how they're remembered
after they're gone?
Some people actually believe
Senior Chief made the swim
to the Aleutian Islands.
He's standing
on a distant beach somewhere
with a fishing pole in his hand.
But I found my answer
a couple weeks later.
Where is he?
There's nobody else out there, man.
No, he was there.
He was with me the whole time.
He said he would hold on
till help arrived.
He never let go.
JAKE: There's a legend of a man
who lives beneath the sea.
He is a fisher of men,
a last hope for all those
who have been left behind.
He is known as the Guardian.
Ben Randall always said
life is about making choices.
In the end, by making his,
he helped me make mine.
What do you remember?
What did you smell?
What did you see?
How did this make you
feel?
I'll be right back.
What are you doing here?
I lied to you.
I can't do casual.
