All language subtitles for Blue Water High s03e10

Everybody has secrets, don't they? I
mean, things you don't admit to anyone

else. That's normal.

But some secrets you bury so deep that
you don't even admit them to yourself.

Trouble is, if you don't dig them out,
sooner or later you could get buried

right along with them. I guess it all
started when we went to this new surf

the other day.

Like everyone else, I was looking
forward to having some fun.

And as usual, Guy and Bridget were
having one of their endless discussions

nothing in particular.

Well, might as well use this time
productively. Want to practice the scene

our English assessment?

Oh, let me think about it.

No.

We have to do it tomorrow.

Sorry, I'm coming down with a 24 -hour
flu tomorrow.

Mr. Savin will not let you off that
easily, young man.

I don't get what the big deal is.

The big deal is that I'm scared of
making a goose of myself in front of

everyone. Since when were you scared of
anything?

Since I had to start learning ye olde
English and talking in rhymes instead of

sentences.

I feel like a dork. I sound like a dork.

a reason to practice then. If you really
are scared, the best way to deal with

it is to confront it.

Think about it. Okay?

Okay.

For some reason, Guy talking about being
scared got me going. I hadn't felt it

in months, but suddenly it sprang up out
of nowhere and hit me right in the

stomach.

Dusky Point.

One of the best reef breaks off the East
Coast.

And we've got an old Two assholes. Now,
do I deliver or do I deliver?

We will take our insults back as done.

Fabulous. Come on.

Let's do it.

These waves are perfect for working on
your takeoff. Just watch that the break

doesn't suck you over those rocks. And I
don't want to freak anybody, but

obviously the area isn't netted, so you
might see the odd shark over here. Oh,

great. Do we get extra points for that?

Yeah, one if you spot a shark and three
if you get away from it.

Come on, we didn't come all this way to
blab about nature. Let's get out there

and do it. Of all the things Beck could
have said, why did she have to say that?

Did she somehow know what was churning
through my brain? Had she seen something

in my eyes?

You right, Adam?

Yeah, just, um, sussing out the current.
The truth was, though, I wasn't all

right. My guts were heaving and my legs
were like jelly. Come on, mate, you're

not going to learn anything standing
there looking at it. Get amongst it.

It was unbelievable.

I set out from home feeling ready to
take on the world, and suddenly I was so

freaked out I could barely paddle.

Yeah, hold this for me. Okay.

The scariest thing about fear is that it
has a life of its own. Like a genie in

a bottle, once you let it out, it takes
over completely.

Got ya! What are you doing?

Adam, hey!

That was really dumb, okay?

It was a joke.

Yeah? Well, it wasn't funny.

I'm sorry.

little off his game today?

Yeah, he's paddling pretty fast, but
once he's up, he's just not flowing at

The waves were there to be nailed, but I
was so choked up with fear I was

letting them nail me.

The day was a wreck, and I was too.

Okay, guys, hit the showers.

Then you should all get some homework
done before dinner.

Can't we just have dinner and forget the
homework?

Don't you have some Shakespeare to
learn? Yes, you do.

No, but I don't even want... No excuses.
Time to face your demons, Lord Macbeth.

Thanks, Lauren.

I won't forget this. What are friends
for?

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Um, I'm sorry for grabbing your leg
today. I didn't mean to freak you out.

no, you didn't freak me out.

I was just surprised, that's all.

Sorry I snapped, don't you?

So we're both sorry?

I guess that makes us square?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Cool.

Okay, so I was a wimp. But how could I
tell her the truth? I couldn't even

it to myself, let alone anyone else.

And do you know what the stupidest thing
about my fear was? There was no real

reason for it. It's not like I'd been
mauled by a shark as a three -year -old.

didn't have nightmares about sharks.

I wasn't even scared when I first saw
them in the movies. It was a fear based

absolutely nothing. It was crazy.

Okay, let's say this carrot is your
board and this lettuce is your wave.

your take -off today, you were looking
straight down the face like that.

Now, when the wave is deep like that,
you can get a bit anxious at the peak

it's easy to catch an outside rail.

Right. Do you reckon that's what was
holding you back the server?

Could have been.

Yeah, yeah, it was.

Well, you can't afford to let that
happen in a competition.

If something's getting in the way, you
need to deal with it.

Uh -huh.

You know, one season, I lost my focus.

I was surfing really well, and then I
started coming bottom of every comp.

What happened?

Fear.

Plain and simple.

You were afraid?

Well, there was this girl.

I really liked her, and... But I was too
afraid to ask her out.

You're kidding.

No way.

Every time I spoke to her, I just froze
up, you know?

And that affected your surfing? Big
time. I was all over the place. I

concentrate.

So what did you do?

Well, this other guy on the circuit
started dating her, and I hated him for

that. So I set out to beat him in the
comps. That's what refocused me.

But you never faced your fear?

Correct. But, in the end, she asked me
out.

Turns out she liked me all along.

So all that stress, all that worry, was
for nothing.

Almost always is. Yeah.

I decided to take Gary's words on board.

Maybe it was just a matter of relaxing.

If I didn't think about it, then it
might just go away.

For a moment, it actually seemed to
work.

I'm fine.

So what just happened?

Nothing. You practically picked your
board up and sprinted across the water.

you see something out there?

No.

There's nothing to talk about.

Adam... Just drop it, okay?

Mind if I sit down?

It's up to you.

It's all right, Adam.

I know what's going on.

There's nothing going on.

Don't be silly.

You're scared of sharks.

I... I think I'm

pretty lame, hey?

No, not at all.

You're scared of sharks.

It's not a big deal. It's a very big
deal. I mean, I'm so freaked out by it

I don't even want to get back in the
water.

Well, how long has this been going on?

A year, two years.

I don't know. I've always managed to
talk myself out of it, though.

But lately, it's just... Something must
have happened to set it off.

Did you hear a story about a shark
attack?

None in particular.

Have you seen any sharks while you've
been out there?

Only in my imagination.

Yeah, well, they're the worst kind.

Look, plenty of people are scared of
sharks.

Especially where I come from.

Surfing down in Dubai. I mean, that's
great white territory.

I don't know how you even get in the
water down there.

I mean, aren't you terrified?

Honestly, I don't think about it.

I mean, how can I be a competitive
surfer when every time I get in the

panicking about some shark chomping my
leg off?

You find a way to beat it.

Like what? Start surfing in a swimming
pool? Um, no.

But that gives me an idea.

You see, the best way to deal with
sharks is to get up nice and close to

What? Who on earth told you that?

Well, no one, but it's perfectly
logical, isn't it?

Logic means nothing. If logic had
anything to do with it, I wouldn't be

in the first place.

That's not true. Sometimes it's logical
to be afraid.

Do we really have to do this?

Well, why not?

And what have you got to lose? Like my
legs.

See that sign over there? It says,
Dangerous Australian Animals, which

that there is a lot to lose.

Look, why don't you just man up about it
and pitch the shark swimming around in

their knickers?

See, at least you can laugh about it.
Come on.

What do you think?

Beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah.

Come on, it's perfectly safe.

Oh, wow.

That is awesome.

Come closer, have a look.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, look at it, Adam.

It's not going to hurt you.

It's a big fish, really.

Mike Grace.

Oh, man, I've got to get out of here.

No, no, it's not your fault. I couldn't
breathe in there. I kept thinking the

tunnel was going to collapse and half a
dozen sharks were going to come flooding

in on top of me. Are you serious?

Yeah.

Well, maybe you need to talk to Beck and
Gary about it. Tell them what's going

on. Are you kidding? A surfer who's
afraid of sharks. They'd kick me out in

minutes. No, they wouldn't.

Please promise me you won't tell them or
anyone.

Well, of course, but I still think you
need to tell them.

I trusted Kathy completely.

But I also knew that if she discovered
my secret, then it wouldn't be long

before everyone else knew too.

I wondered what fears they had, and even
more, how they dealt with them.

So, Act 2 of Macbeth, what themes do you
think Shakespeare was exploring?

Ambition. Um, love?

Fear and death?

Evil. Murder!

Good. So, who's ready to present their
prepared theme?

Come on.

I might be inspired to give an extra
mark to the first volunteers.

You can do it. No, I can't. We have to
do it eventually. Let's just get it over

with.

Can I take my dagger with me? Just so
long as you don't hurt anyone.

Excellent. Some brave souls prepared to
tackle their stage fright. I love it.

Go give him a hand.

Dare I dare.

Take any shape of that, my firm nerve
shall never tremble or be alive again.

Maybe Guy had the right idea.

He fessed up about his fear and now he's
dealing with it.

Kathy might be right. Maybe I do need to
talk to someone.

I'm really glad you told her. Yeah, now
we can do something about it to help

you, if that's what you want.

Yeah, yeah, I want it more than
anything.

Good, then we should start straight
away.

Oh, we've got a training session this
afternoon. Do you think you'll be okay

get back in the water then?

Depends. Are we going back to Duffy
Point? Not today.

It's not the only place you could see a
shark, Adam.

Yeah, I know, but at least Blue Water
Beach isn't netted.

What?

Not all the time.

There's only a few nets and they move
them around the area.

You're kidding.

Hey, think of the upside.

You've been surfing there for months and
haven't seen a shark yet.

And you have more chance of winning the
lotto than you have me eating my shark.

Do I get a choice?

You know, there's pilots who have a fear
of flying, but they get control and

they move on.

You can do that too.

Well, you have to do that.

Otherwise... Otherwise my year is over.

I just wish Beck hadn't told us that
they shipped the nets.

It's okay. We're all out there with you.

Nothing is going to happen.

All righty.

Put your boards down.

Take a seat.

Why do I get the feeling we're not going
in the water today?

We will soon enough.

First, I just want to work on a little
mental preparation.

Today we're going to try a visualisation
technique that some elite athletes use

to enhance their form.

It might feel a bit weird at first, but
give it a go, OK, because it could work

for you.

I'm willing to try anything that will
help me to win.

Great. All right. Let's get in a comfy
position.

Close your eyes.

Take a few deep breaths.

Now imagine yourself.

Paddling out to the surf.

It's a beautiful day.

There's a nice ocean breeze blowing.

You're feeling really good.

You've made the final for a big comp.

A monster set comes through. You paddle
hard for the next big wave.

And you're up. You focus on nothing but
the ride.

You score a 10 from the judges.

You paddle out for the next big wave.

Yeah!

You're feeling tired now, but you know
you've got one last wave to ride.

This is the one.

Woo -hoo!

Imagine yourself surfing at your very
best.

You can imagine it.

You can do it.

You're missing some great sets out
there.

Yeah, you can go out.

Not until you come with me.

Adam!

I didn't do too well in training today,
did I?

Let's not get hung up on that. We need
to focus on the next step.

What next step?

You're going to learn a bit about the
thing it is you're scared of. Here.

Already went to the aquarium.

Not a good move.

Okay, so we start again.

But this time we take things slowly.

So, looking at pictures, learning the
facts about sharks?

Facts I can handle.

It's just the actual shark that spooked
me.

Oh, yeah, look at this guy.

Doesn't feel good?

No, not great.

Okay, what about this one? That's a
little less threatening.

Yeah, that's less likely.

Okay, so now trace around the outline
with your finger.

Why? I know it sounds weird, but give it
a go.

So, start like this.

So far, so good.

Great. Well, I'll leave you to do some
research.

That half an hour is ideal.

Am I seeing things or are you actually
reading one of those shark books?

No, you were right.

There's some amazing stuff in here. You
know, some sharks actually have parts

that glow in the dark.

Wow, another week and you'll be quite
the expert.

Once I got used to looking at the
pictures, it was pretty easy. Good,

now we're taking it one step further.

You're not serious, are you?

Yeah.

There's no way I could do something that
extreme.

Yes, you can.

You have to.

So I don't have a choice.

I've made the booking for tomorrow.

You can back out if you want to, but if
you do...

Well, I don't know where we go from
there, Adam.

You all right there, Lauren?

Yeah, just taking the rubbish out.

I can do it for you if you like.

No, it's okay.

Just got to remind myself there's
nothing to be scared of just because

out there.

That low howling noise is just the wind
and that dark shadow, just a wetsuit,

not an axe murderer.

You have a vivid imagination.

Yeah, which my teachers always told me
was a good thing. But sometimes, like

dark nights, it gets a little out of
control.

But I'm not going to let a little fear
get in my way.

A week ago, I would have laughed at the
idea of Lauren being afraid of the dark.

But now?

I was only filled with a sense of
admiration for the gutsy way she just

to it. I also realised that if she could
face her fears like that, then I had no

choice. Most of the sharks you'll see
when you're surfing around here aren't

dangerous. There's wobby gongs, grey
nurses.

Yeah, that's the one we saw at the
aquarium.

Yeah, the way their teeth are found
underneath like this means that it's

hard for them to bite a person.

Yeah, but not impossible.

Come on, how's your attitude, mate?

Yeah, OK.

So what do you think, Adam? You ready to
give it a go?

Absolutely safe. I can guarantee it.

Is there any other way?

What if I come with you?

You'd do that?

Oh, yeah.

Is that okay?

I think it's a great idea.

Okay.

Okay, if you're game, then so am I.

When we get down there, just stand nice
and still and let the sharks come to

you. They come up to you? Well, they're
very curious by nature, so it won't take

long before they come and look at us.

And you're sure they won't be curious as
to how I take and just have a little

nibble on my leg or something?

Adam, the grey nurse shark only eats
other fish, remember?

I'm trying, but they have a brain like
the size of a tennis ball. How do they

know I'm not a fish? I take people down
every day. I haven't lost anyone yet.

Well, that's reassuring.

So are we right to go?

Just nod and say yes.

Yeah.

Cool.

I knew that in order to beat my fear,
I'd have to confront it.

But I never imagined that I'd confront
it as up close and personal as this.

I can't believe it. I did it. You were
fantastic.

No, you were fantastic. I wouldn't have
done it if you hadn't. Are you kidding?

Oh, man, I really owe you one hand. Hey,
I wouldn't have missed that for the

world. Thank you so much, Hope. Yeah,
thank you. Thank you so much. I'm glad

enjoyed it.

You did really well, Adam.

Diving into that shark tank was
definitely the scariest thing I'd ever

not nearly as scary as I'd imagined.

Gary was right. It was much worse in my
head than in reality.

If you make it to the circuit, you will
have to serve your share of reefs.

You want to get as close as you can
because that's where the fastest waves

But you do not want to get too close.

I have the leg injury to prove it. What
we're aiming for today is to be the

deepest in on the way.

So, remember, pull in fast, give it all
you've got.

The reef break was a challenge, but this
was my chance to get back in the game

and prove myself to Beck and Garen.

Even more important, to prove myself to
myself.

For the first time in weeks, there were
no distractions. It was just me and the

wave. Nothing else mattered. I was back
in my element and loving every moment.

I probably won't ever lose my fear of
sharks completely.

But what I did lose was the fear of the
fear. The idea that once my secret was

out, it would somehow lead to my entire
world collapsing.

But once I did get it out in the open,
the opposite happened.

Suddenly, this huge weight was lifted
off my back.

I had one person to thank for that.

Kathy was there for me when I really
needed her.

Now it was my turn to pay her back.

Turns out, she had a secret fear as
well.

Cassie, we'd like to come in now.

You know...

My tooth is actually feeling much
better, and if it starts to ache, I'll

call you. It's fine. Cass, you'll be
fine.

I hate you.

From now on, I've decided no more
secrets.

At least not for myself, anyway.
