All language subtitles for Blue Water High s01e09 Sharks In The Mind

There's too much choice and not enough
time.

Aiming for your head, get down.

You're the only one in town.

Hey man, was that a set or was that a
set? That was a set, alright. Yeah, go

girls, I told you. You guys killed it
this morning.

So what else is new, Edge?

I think we beat you guys again.

Yeah. Wanna take us on Edge?

What? What is it?

Did you touch my leg?

Not I, says the baby bear. Don't mess
with me, Heath. Did you touch my leg or

not?

Edge, I did not touch your leg.

What is it? What can you see?

What did he say?

He said there was a shark.

Yes.

It was like, I don't know, like being
filled up by a water sandpaper.

And you actually saw it? I don't want to
think how long it was. Three to four

metres just cruising beneath me.

Um, Matt heard you, didn't he?

What's he doing?

I'm not.

Come on, little heart.

Down you come.

No need to beat so hard.

I'm not going to release fear hormones.

Because fear is the strongest perfume on
the planet.

See?

The fish know what's the go.

What the hell are you doing?

Making sure I didn't look like a turtle
until I figured out if there really was

a shark down there.

You are nuts, aren't you?

I would have been the last one out of
all of us to get the chomp.

You're wearing black and white.

Lots of contrast. Makes it easy for the
shark to see.

A kilo of jewellery.

Flashes in the sunlight. Looks like
silver fish scales.

The rest of you are splashing about like
a herd of injured prey.

So I got off my board because sharks eat
turtles.

And from below, your board with arms and
legs paddling on either side can easily

be mistaken for a turtle.

Anyway, so I went down to have a look.
The fish were calm.

And they would have been jumping out of
their skins if there was a shark about.

What do you mean if there was a shark
about? I know what I saw.

Are you going to carry the can if we
don't report it and one of them ends up

being dinner?

So four metres, you say? Oh, easy.

I'm telling you, we were less than 100
metres offshore. No waves. It was right

there with us. I felt it.

Surfers sometimes start up rumours to
keep the crowds at bay, keep the waves

themselves. I heard Edge's voice when he
first came in. It was full of

adrenaline, which made it go all high
and squeaky, and I don't think you can

fake that.

Application for marine biology. The
Melbourne Preparatory College.

Come

on.

Let's build you guys.

I'm applying for a scholarship at this
school in Melbourne.

They've got a really good marine biology
course. Kind of like a preparation for

uni. Okay, I get it.

But I don't get all the secrecy. I don't
know.

I wasn't sure how Deb and Simo would
feel about me already applying for a

in case I didn't get one of the WQF
spots.

Would they care?

I might think it shows a lack of
commitment or something.

I don't want them knowing, Heath.

They're out of here.

I've got an interview before school
tomorrow.

They're sending people down to interview
the Sydney kids.

So, yeah, it has to stay between you and
me.

My father's been a commercial fisherman
for the past 32 years and has

specialised in crayfish harvesting for
the past 10 years. Hauling crayfish is

all well and good, but marine biology is
a scientific field of endeavour. I was

going to go on to say that during the
last five years I've been sending data

the National Marine Authority on the
King Island ecosystem.

I've got summaries here of the findings.
I'm not sure if you're interested in

having a look at them.

You look like you didn't sleep a wink
last night. Yeah, Dream's the fleshy

submarine. Oh, the men in grey suits?

How about Mr and Mrs Great White?

Yeah, yeah.

Laugh it up. You'll be sorry when you're
trying to surf on one leg.

But you're the locals. Have you heard
about any shark attacks here?

No, the beasts of the net have stopped
us.

Which sucks as a solution.

For every shark they stop, they kill a
bucketload of other critters, like

dolphins, dugongs and turtles.

You are spending way too much time with
Matt.

Guys, are we training this morning or
what?

Oh, we thought training had been
cancelled because of the shark.

Oh, so now it suits you there's a shark.

Mm -hm.

What shark?

Three metres, eh?

It's only a little one.

Oh, how's it going?

You know, he's wildly confident.

Hey, Matt!

Your dad called this morning. He said
it'll be here this afternoon depending

whether or not the tides are good.

Something like that.

We haven't had a shark around here for
ages.

So, you heard about this? Yeah, I heard.

So, no surfing to the lifetime to check
it out?

But there are other surfers out there.

Yo, Heath, those guys aren't my problem.

I can't afford to have any of you going
out there getting munched. I'll lose my

job. Or at least get in trouble.

And Matt, in future, if someone makes a
shark call, you don't stay out to check

out if it's true?

Do you know how long I've been waiting
for a morning off? About nine weeks.

Exactly. Okay, everyone, don't get too
excited. There is a plan B.

Ah, see, they like plan B. Now, I know
you've all been paying out on edge for

being spooked, but the truth is there's
probably something that spooks you all.

So, this morning's mission is to talk
about what freaks you out the most about

surfing. Maybe it's being held under, or
being speared by your board, or maybe

it's just fear of failing.

Now, some fears are healthy and they
should be listened to.

And some might be the very thing that's
holding you back.

That's me.

Happened to me when I first started
surfing.

I didn't go back in the water for six
months.

So, let's fly. I don't want to be a
copycat, but it's the same for me.

I had that kiteboarding accident in
Germany.

I got dragged under for longer than I
want to think about.

Good. That's good.

So the rest of you keep thinking until
something rings true for you too.

Maybe it's not in the surf, maybe it's
just something that makes you feel

uneasy. We can try and work out whether
there's real fear there.

So, I was thinking, maybe Edge and I can
run you over to the marina to meet your

dad and the rubber ducky?

So you don't have to schlep on the bus.

And maybe we can sneak in a quick skirt
along the way?

Huh? What do you reckon?

So you checked with Timo that we could
use the ducky, right?

Oop. I forgot.

We'll check first thing when we get
back.

So, you want to drive or go first?

What do you reckon?

Wow. You get a serious taste of the,
uh... You know what I reckon? Even

if the shark has come around the
peninsula, I'll be going too fast, get

am I?

Great theory, hey? If you don't fall
off... Me?

I don't fall off.

I swear he's the biggest goose on the
planet.

Matt,

you alright?

You look a little weird.

You don't get seasick, do you?

I do, actually.

I thought you said you used to go out
fishing with your old man all the time.

I used to spew every time, too.

Bummer.

There it is.

What happens if we actually catch
something? You real idiot. I'm not

it. There's no way I'm touching a live
fish. What if we catch a shark? Trust

the chances of us catching a shark with
this tackle are next to zero. Who taught

you all this stuff anyway?

My dad.

We fish together most weekends.

You spent weekends with your dad? What's
wrong with that?

My dad is the ultimate in embarrassment.

He tells the same awful jokes all the
time. He insists on talking to my

who don't want to know about it.

And his clothes are so 1990s.

He sounds perfect.

Try living with him. What about Matt?

He lived with his father on a fishing
boat for weeks.

Just the two of them. How bad would that
be?

He might have liked it. He didn't look
too thrilled this morning when he went

off to see his dad.

I'll put the kettle on.

Type over there.

Uh, Dad, this is Heath and Edge from the
Academy.

This is my dad. Hey, call me Ewan.

You too.

Well, you look all right. A bit skinny.
I'm fine, Dad.

So, to your round?

Oh, they've got to get back.

Really? Yeah, thanks. Anyway, we just
came to say hi.

Thought I'd get to pump you about how
Matty's really doing, whether he's

his own. Oh, he's doing more than
holding his own. Yeah? So his future's

sewn up?

Yeah, whether he's star of the Marine
Biology College or master of the

on the World Circus.

I reckon he's got a pretty soft out
whatever happened. You guys need a hand

pushing off?

No. We're right.

My old hat.

My cutting glove.

My favourite thick bucket.

Still a chunderer after all this year.

So how's it going?

Do you think you'll be coming home at
the end of the year?

How's the competition?

Have you got a hope in hell of winning?

What about the other boys? Are they
pretty good?

Because if you've got no hope of
winning, then I can ask you outright, do

think you'll be coming home at the end
of the year?

So, the strange thing that's happened.

The guy here at the marina is offering
me a really top deal to trade in on a

bigger boat.

A two -man boat.

Now, if I buy it now, I'll manage
somehow to get back, but if I wait, the

will pass and I'll be out of my range.

Yeah, so, it's a risk either way.

Buying it or not, based on whether
you're going to win this thing and

off to Hawaii or who knows where, or
whether you'll be coming back.

I wish I had the answer, Dad.

You know how to read them?

I wish I could, son.

I wish I could.

The last thing I want to do is put
pressure on you.

Well, maybe I'll head over and have a
natter with your coach in the morning

see what he thinks.

And it will give me a chance to see you
strut your stuff at the same time.

This is insane, Heath.

I told everybody I needed the bathroom.

You didn't say the girls.

Have you felt the boys?

Anyway, I said I needed it for two
hours, and two hours ain't enough.

Well, tell that to my bladder, or my
teeth, which would like to be brushed

before tomorrow.

You know, in some countries where they
don't have toothbrushes,

stick to make bristles.

Oh, I can't believe

you've all gone to bed now.

Good evening. Hey. Hey.

Um. Your dad doesn't know about the
scholarship, does he?

But even if you don't get the WCT spot,
you have no intention at all of going

back to King Island. I don't want to get
into it, all right?

It's more complicated than that, but,
yeah, I guess that's it in a nutshell.

I hope so.

Hey, hear this.

Oh, yeah!

2am every morning, and it's five
degrees, and you're wet.

And your hands are so cold, you can't
even feel the cray shells cutting into

them. There's nothing in there.

By the time you're back and unloaded,
you've already been working six hours

before school.

And the smell.

Well, fishing isn't for you.

What's the big deal?

There's nothing in there either.

The boat is for me. That's the big deal.

Dad's been working his guts out since I
was born, so I didn't have to start with

nothing. Great. So you inherit something
which isn't for you, and which is

guaranteed to make you spoon?

I think our work here is done.

Sweet dreams.

Hey, anyway, you can say goodbye to that
WQS, but as your ticket out of King

Island, because I've already packed that
one. Talking in your sleep already.

But the scholarship, that's something
different altogether.

That your dad needs to know about.

I probably won't get in anyway.

You're right.

I'll be taking apologies this morning,
so if you guys would like to make a

cue... Very sorry I doubted you, Edge.

Still don't know why the fish were so
chilled. Forget the fish.

Stick with the sorry bit. Matt, can you
drop this off for her?

Now, the lifeguards are doing another
sweep of the beach, so Deb wants to do

another session of the fear stuff.

Oh, yeah, check it out.

I got in.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, guys, let's do this thing
properly.

Always and all do sand running until the
beach is safe.

So yesterday we talked about Anna and
Fly's fears. Did anyone come up with

something else overnight? I tried, but I
kept coming back to the shark thing

too, so I guess it's something I really
do think about every time I get in the

water. Good.

So what comes up for us when we talk
about sharks?

Ed, you just had the big scare?

I don't know.

Being killed?

Fair enough.

You have a strong survival instinct.

Maddy.

You had a chance to think about anything
yet?

No, sorry, I haven't come up with
anything.

I'll keep trying.

What about you, Heath?

I'm scared of going nuts and turning
into a bum.

Not really the bum bit, but going nuts.

Don't want to freak you, man, but I
reckon it's too late.

I can think of something to do with
surfing if it makes it easier.

No, that's okay. That's your fear, then
that's what we'll work with.

But we've run out of time today, so none
of you are off the hook yet, and we'll

do more of this tomorrow.

Guess you've got to face the music
sooner or later.

So he's not at the head of the pack, but
if he puts his mind to it, he can still

get there.

So if Matt's this far behind, will he
still actually be able to win?

Well, it's early in the year, but
there's no doubt he'll have to stay

on track.

Excuse me.

Yeah.

G'day.

Okay, I'll be down to look at it in half
an hour.

I appreciate your time.

No problem.

I have to go and look at the boat.

We'll talk about all this later.

Just leave it, Heath.

But no buts, alright? Did you see the
look on his face?

The disappointment?

Did you get a taste of what it's like?

Okay, so the disappointment's a killer,
but he's about to go off and buy

something based on a complete lie.

Well, you can stop fretting about my
dad's future, okay?

I've thought about it and I'm going to
pull out of the scholarship anyway.

What? So you're going to go gut crayfish
and freeze your noodles off for the

rest of your life because you're too
scared to tell your old man the truth?

First of all, you don't gut crayfish,
alright?

Second of all, you don't know what it's
like.

You don't know what he did for me.

After my mum left, he did... Everything,
yeah?

Well, that's great that he did. Because
he's your old man. He's meant to. It's

part of the gig.

And it doesn't mean that he owns you for
the rest of your life because of that.

Now, I can't believe how you can
deliberately stay in the water with a

-meter shark, but you can't talk to your
old man.

No, I just don't get it.

Just remember, okay, your mind is an
excellent exaggerator. What you're

now is probably 200 times worse than
what it's actually going to be like.

Okay, I'll be here, but I don't want to
have to come in there and write notes

for you.

You're the most annoying friend I've
ever had.

Heart rate through the roof.

Sweating like a sauna.

Where's the boat, Dad?

Look, I know it's sudden, but by the
time I got back, they already had a

lined up for our boat. They needed an
answer straight away.

And he took another 15 % off the price
of the new one. It was just too good to

miss.

Look, I don't want to rain on your
parade, but I've got to be honest with

The odds of you making it don't look
great.

What you're feeling now is probably 200
times worse than what it's actually

going to be like.

OK, I'll be here, but I don't want to
have to come in there and write notes

you.

Dad, I'm not coming back.

You're going to have to cancel the order
and get the boat back. What are you

talking about? I can't cancel the order.
The guy already had a buyer for the

motor. They're ripping it out today.

What time?

Max. What time? I don't know. Sometime
today.

We don't have time to wait to argue.
We've got to get that boat back.

So, is there anything we can do?

The engine's gone. The hull's going to
be junk.

You take my ducky without asking?

Well, there's a shark out there.

Please, tell me there's an explanation.

Yeah, um, so we'll help an edge. It's
like a face your fear technique. You

weren't with Edge. He's down the beach.

I'm on to you, Heath.

Your big fear is the truth.

It's too simple for you. You've got to
paint and decorate everything.

It's not true.

Go on, ask me anything. I'll answer it
plain and simple. Why did you take the

ducky without asking?

Because I knew you'd say no. Why would I
say no?

Because with the shark out there, it's
risky and dangerous behaviour.

Why does it never feel like progress
with you, Heath?

I don't know, Simo.

Next time, I.

That's the shark alarm.

The shark's come round the headland.

Another beach is closed.

Hey, Matt.

Is that your dad?

Hey, Simmo. Can I take Matt out to meet
his dad in the rubber duck?

You just don't know when to let up, do
you? What, you said ask next time?

No. Why?

Because it would be... ...wreckless.

Endangered. Please, Simmo, we'll go
straight there and back and Dad will

out for us.

It's your responsibility.

Welcome aboard.

So, what do you think about the new
vessel?

But Dad, you're not... I made some calls
and there were a couple of lads on the

island who wouldn't mind a bit of
training.

And as much as I love the old boat...

This new one, wow.

She's got some lovely features.

Looks like they've got something in
their sight.

They'll be trying to herd it out to sea.

Maybe I'll have a word to the coasties,
see if they want me to chaperone it down

the coast a couple of thousand miles.

In which case, you'd better shove off,
because I've got work to do.

You keep your head in.

If I hear you slacking, I'll be back up
to kick you up the bum personally.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Same goes for you too, eh?

Well, what are you waiting for then?
Shut off.

How do we know whether the shark's
really gone?

Or whether it just chucked a U -turn
under Matt's dad's boat and it's come

to finish us off.

Or whether it's angry now from all the
harassment from the lifeguards.

Come on, we're wasting perfect weight.

I reckon...

Sometimes your fear just runs out of
power.

You get on with it.

there's too much choice and not enough
time
