- [ Bec] Sometimes, as hard as you try

you can't take things back.

You can't pull your feet out of your mouth.

You can't press the rewind button.

Hard as you try, once you've done

the bad deed, you've done the bad deed.

It'll haunt you for the rest of your days.

It'll be there when you go to sleep.

It's there when you wake up.

It's there when you finish your Wheatie Crunch.

- Hi.

Did I say something wrong?

- We've had an interesting afternoon.

Come on, I'll show you your room.

And Perri and Bec are in here.

[door slams)

This is the girl's bathroom.

That's my room and you're in here.

We hope you find your stay with us a comfortable one.

That's your bed.

Unfortunately, our interesting afternoon

has resulted in your roommate doing a runner.

- I'm sharing a room with a guy?

- Well, I haven't seen Anna in the nude yet

but, she looks all girl to me.

- A girl, but I thought it was meant to be one more guy?

- Yeah, it was.

The not short version, our bosses

picked their own candidate from Germany

and no one knew 'til the last minute.

- But I thought Bec's brother was a sure thing?

- Yeah, so did he.

So did Bec.

And so we have a not completely

happy household at the moment.

- And why did Anna do a runner?

- [ Bec] She did a runner because someone

couldn't keep their big trap shut.

Someone just couldn't let it go.

Someone forgot life didn't have a big fat rewind button.

♪ Oh, I'm so step up today ♪

- Okay, we're just waiting on Fly, she's on her way.

Where's Anna?

- She's probably ironing her kite.

♪ I could have slept today ♪

- This year is a competition.

At the end of the year the judges vote.

Two of you, one guy, one girl,

will win a wildcard spot onto the world championship tour.

- Are Solar Blue one of the judges?

- Yeah. - So what happens if they

suddenly decide they like someone

from Switzerland or Brazil?

- Okay, you got a problem, let's hear it.

- What happened is not right.

Joel missed out because someone

in some office somewhere decided to change the rules.

- If she had surfed for it like the rest of us

it'd be different but, those other two guys,

they weren't even given a chance.

- All right, I hate to be the one

to deliver the reality check here,

but Solar Blue are paying for us all to be here.

No Solar Blue, no surfer camp.

- Here's another reality check.

The answer to every problem we have this year

is going to be some adult telling us

to roll over and play nice so we get to keep the money.

- Bec. - No, I'm sick of it.

Anna Peterson does not deserve to be here,

but no one running this place

has got the guts to do anything about it.

- Bec! ♪ She knows, she knows, ♪

♪ Oh she knows ♪

♪ The one who leaves here sounds so high ♪

♪ Don't have the beginning to know ♪

♪ She's only just beginning to know ♪

- Anna. - What?

- Is everything okay, you settling in all right?

- Why wasn't I told someone else

would lose their place because of me?

- It's complicated Anna.

I know you didn't have to compete,

but the reality is that you probably

would have surfed well enough to get in anyway.

- But I didn't have to

and they've got every right to be angry with me.

- Anna. - And I've got every right

to be angry too. ♪ And you'll see ♪

♪ Hello, hello, oh hello ♪

- [ Bec] If only life really did

have a rewind button, but it don't.

- So Anna just took off.

How long she been gone?

- About long enough for us to start to worry.

Yep, give it another hour, I reckon

the panic will start to set in.

Anyway, you just holler if you need anything.

- She wasn't joking, look at all the stuff she's won.

- [Edge] Doesn't change anything, does it?

What's your problem?

It's not like she's gonna be competing against you.

What's the notebook for?

- In case I think of strategy and stuff during the night.

- Cool, now we know where to go

if we want to find your game plan.

You a strategy kind of guy?

- [Matt] Not last time I checked.

- The point is, this whole thing

stops the school from having a reputation as being the best.

Once people know you can buy your way in,

us having come here doesn't sound so good.

- He's worried about our reputation, so considerate.

- Anna didn't buy her way in.

- She's the company's golden girl, it's the same thing.

She didn't have to surf for it like the rest of us.

- So, what are we gonna do?

- We?

- House meeting? - Guess so.

[pool ba*ls hitting)

- She just looked, gutted.

- Day two, the walkout.

- I didn't know she was there, all right.

- I know, I'm just saying, I can

understand why she walked off.

It's not a very nice feeling, being stabbed in the back.

- Technically speaking, she was there

so, she was actually stabbed in the front.

- She had to find out.

She can't run away from it.

- What if she has run away? [rock music)

Should we leave a note for Julie?

- Saying what, we've lost a cot boarder, don't wait up.

- Edge, you Matt and Perri

go to the mall and then to the headland.

Heath, Fly and I will go to the beach and the ferry.

- Cool, where's the mall?

- On the headland.

- We've only been here for hours too.

- Great, we have a bunch of tourists for the manhunt.

- You're right, you a kiteboarder?

- A little. - You wanna take one out?

- I haven't got any money.

- No one has any today.

Take one out. [laughs)

If I get a rush of customers, I'll call you back.

You sure you don't want to take

a bigger board, easier to handle?

- Hmm, think I'll manage.

You might want to think about joining.

- Maybe, don't know how long I'll be around.

- Wow, if you decide to stay, you know what to do yeah.

- Thanks again.

Yeah, I know what to do. [rock music)

- Maybe she went to the airport.

- Oh, that's helpful.

- Come on Bec, you reckon you'd be so fired up

if Joel wasn't your brother?

- Can you put that stupid thing down for five minutes?

- Okay, I'm not trying to be smart but,

you're always talking about principle.

Do you think you'd really care

if it was Bob from down the road or any of us?

I'm just interested in whether

we only really care when it's personal.

- Look, maybe Joel being my brother

does make a difference but, what would you have done?

- I don't know Bec.

Look, there's nothing wrong with loyalty

but, do you have to trash someone else along the way.

- You don't. [door closing)

- Anna, are you all right?

- Fine, thank you.

- I've got an apology to make.

None of this was meant to be personal.

I still don't think it's fair

but, I shouldn't have taken it out on you.

- Bec, it's okay, I don't need

your sympathy or anyone else's.

I'm going to surf for my place here.

- How? - I talked to Joel tonight.

We're going to surf tomorrow.

If he's better then me I'm leaving.

- [Heath] You're kidding? - No, I just need someone

to show me where this break is.

- What break? - Somewhere called,

the gallows.

- Okay you lot, time to hit the pillows.

- We have a curfew?

- That's right, half an hour ago.

[moaning) - Believe me, once

training starts, you'll be begging for bed.

Come on, move it. - So boring.

You can have the bottom shelf Fly

because you're the-- - Shortest.

Plenty of short people at the top of their field.

- Yeah, those seven dwarfs really rocked.

What, I'm not saying Fly's a dwarf, I'm.

It's a wonder I can even talk with

both these feet in my mouth.

- Will someone tell me how to get to the gallows tomorrow?

- Bec, you're the local.

- It's a completely dumb idea.

- Don't worry, I'll find it myself.

- It's going to be an interesting year.

♪ sh**t up in the blue blue sky ♪

I could sleep 'til January.

If they hadn't give me this concrete slab instead of a bed.

Earth to Bec, is your bed like a rock?

- I don't know.

Try mine. [blinds opening)

If you wanna swap [window opening)

just change the sheets.

- Bec, where are you going, Bec?

- [Bec] Won't be long.

♪ Hold on ♪

♪ Be strong ♪

- An interesting year all right.

- We have an escapee.

- Who? - Bec.

Maybe she's gone to get pizza

'cause, frankly the cooking skills

in this group were a bit of a disappointment.

- I think she's probably got bigger

things on her mind then her stomach.

So has anyone heard of the gallows?

- I have.

- Beg yours, Mr. Pillow Head.

- I met a guy at the juniors last year

he reckoned he almost got nicked out there.

- [Matt] At the gallows?

- That's where I've seen you before.

We were in a heet together at Margaret River.

Do you remember?

- You didn't beat me.

- Edge only has space in the hard drive for genuine rivals.

- Something like that.

- Yeah, well make space on that

hard drive man, 'cause you butt is history.

Ed, you gonna throw it back, kinda need my pillow?

- It's too predictable man.

Tonight, your pillow is mine.

[guitar music)

[falls) - Ow, dammit.

What are you doing in here?

- This is my room now.

- What happened to all my stuff?

- Put it in the garage.

You don't live here anymore Bec.

- I can't believe you suggested the gallows.

- Yeah well, believe it.

- But she's got no chance of winning

and plenty of chances to get herself seriously hurt.

- Well, if she doesn't want to do it

she doesn't have to do it.

She can pull out, no one's got a g*n to her head.

- Not literally, but she knows

if she doesn't do something to prove herself

that some people will hold it

against her for the whole year.

- It's not my problem and it's not yours either.

And I thought you were on my side.

- I am, I just, I wish that there was another way.

- It was her idea Bec.

And why don't you go and wake her up

if you've got your knickers in such a knot about it.

Go out the same way you came 'cause

Ben's in the front room now and if you

go out that door you'll wake him up.

- Didn't think anyone else got up this early.

- Came back last night, just couldn't

make that last step into bed.

- Thinking about the Joel thing.

- He knows that break backwards.

He knows how to survive it.

If I just sit back and watch then

Joel will win and he will get his place here

which is what I want but, it's not exactly a fair fight.

- Can I have the milk?

What's your alternative?

- Started thinking I could tell Deb and Simmo

and then they'll make sure it doesn't happen but--

- Spoon.

- You could have had the bowl too.

- No need.

So, you daub and then Anna doesn't get

a chance to prove herself.

- So I'm disloyal to my family or I'm disloyal

to Anna, who I don't know from a bar of soap.

- Don't know from a bar of soap yet,

a year's a long time.

You gotta figure out a way to give everyone what they want.

Why is it my job to work it out?

- 'Cause you give a toss.

This whole thing would be a piece of cake

if you didn't care either way, but I'm guessing you do.

Which is kind of cool.

It's complicated, but cool.

And me on the other hand, I got it much easier

I mean, I don't care about anyone except myself.

I don't give a rats.

- Yeah right, which is why you're sitting here

helping me work out what to do,

'cause you don't care about anyone else.

- Momentary lapse.

I just wanted the cereal.

[rock music)

- I don't know if you understand

how deadly the gallows really are.

Joel's been surfing it for years,

he knows how not to get hurt.

- I know but, there's no other way is there

and if you don't mind, I'd like to get

another hour of sleep before I go to my death.

- If you're going to do this then you have to prepare

and I'm the only one that can help you.

- [Edge] Who belongs to all this?

- Fraulein Peterson, there must be

three boards in here at least.

- All right, so she's got generous sponsors.

- Or somebody's sending her body parts.

- These are definitely boards, no risk.

- [Bec] Hi guys.

- Bec, it's nuts, you know that?

- It's not up to her and it's not

about Joel getting in either.

I'm not giving him my place.

I'm either earning mine or I'm not.

- So do Deb or Simmo get to know about this?

- They're part of the reason

I'm in this position in the first place.

[rock music)

- This is so cool, whoa.

- Definitely not body parts.

- We going?

- You guys coming or what?

If this is gonna be fair, I can't be the only judge.

[rock music)

[car door closing) - Morning all.

Where are you off to?

- Oh, Bec's just taking us on a local tour,

showing us all the good breaks.

- Oh really?

- No, not really.

I'm going to surf against Joel at the gallows.

If he's better then me, I'm leaving.

- That's insane.

Anna.

Solar Blue won't stand for that.

They've spent a lot of money bringing you here.

They believe in you, you can't just walk away.

- Did any of you even ask me if I wanted to come?

She hasn't won a kiteboard comp in months.

Quick, let's push her into something else,

see if we can produce a winner there.

As long as the wins keep coming

no one really cares about anything else, right?

That's what Solar Blue are paying for.

- I thought you loved surfing.

- I do and I do want to be here,

but I have to live with these people.

If I stay I have to wake up and know I deserve it.

- Deb, phone for you, Andrew Mitchell.

- We're not done.

- Hey you lot.

- Hey. - Hi.

- What are you to up to?

- Just getting to know each other.

- G'day. [rock music)

♪ And I heard you speak to me ♪

[waves crashing)

- This break's really sucky and it stands up

lightning quick, so you gotta take off

deep inside and tuck in. [wave crashing)

Oh, and there's a savage rock ledge

so the best plan, is not to get caught

if you can possibly help it.

Sorry, but it's stuff you need to know.

You gotta sit wide and wait for the sets.

That's where you get the best barrels.

Oh and, once you pick your wave

don't hesitate, 'cause hesitation will lead to pain.

- Yeah, got that bit.

Why are you doing this?

- Joel shouldn't get an advantage

just 'cause he's got local knowledge and you haven't.

Good luck.

- Didn't take you long to change sides.

- I didn't change sides.

I still think it's unfair and it shouldn't of happened

but, it's gotta be an even competition, you know that.

- Great, so I'll talk to you in a couple days.

Okay, thanks Andrew, bye.

Are the guys still out there?

- No, they're on a bonding session.

- Oh no. - Which I thought

you would have been happy about, given Anna's rocky start.

- They're not on a bonding session Simmo.

They've organized their on heat with Joel and Anna.

- Well, if they need to see Anna

hold her own, let 'em see it.

- At the gallows.

- Oh no.

- Anyone would think you were out there.

- Kinda am.

Thanks for this morning, really helped

me get my head straightened out.

- Is it still feeling straight?

- Not really, but at leas I know

when I wake up tomorrow, I'll have

at least tried to do the right thing.

If I'm not going to someone's funeral that is.

- You ready to call it a day?

Letting Anna prove herself.

- You use the words I told you so

and you can walk back to the academy.

- Wouldn't dream of it.

- I think you just earned your place.

- Yeah, good one Bec, now we have to compete with that.

- Ah Bec, Joel's not about to end it all is he?

- Nah, he's paddling around the headlands

so he can come in through the channel.

Guess he knows he can't compete with that either.

Congratulations.

- Thank you.

- Welcome to the team.

- That was so good, yeah.
