1
James: There are kids in this world who are different, special.
2
They look like us and they act like us, but they are not us.
3
And one of them is missing.
4
Announcer: Thanks for choosing Marine Adventures, Alaska's oldest whale watching tour.
5
Migratory humpback whales spend their summers feeding here -- Cyrus: I know twice as much as this lady.
6
Monica: We know you do, honey.
7
Cyrus: Dad, did you know that the humpback whales' brains have the neuron cell that's also found in humans?
8
James: I didn't know that, Cyrus.
9
Birdie: And he didn't really care either.
10
Monica: That's not nice, Birdie.
11
Your brother loves science.
12
James: So does your mother, by the way.
13
It's why she became a doctor.
14
Birdie: But I don't want to learn about whale brains.
15
I want to see a whale!
16
Monica: I'm sure we'll see one soon, Birdie.
17
Birdie: Maybe that helicopter scared them all away.
18
Cyrus: I read online that the scientists at Whittier are actually using whale cells to experiment with human evolution.
19
Monica: Don't believe everything you read.
20
Cyrus: But wouldn't it be epic if -- James: Hold that thought, Cy Birdie: Daddy, you said you were going to turn off your phone on the boat.
21
James: Sorry, sweetheart.
22
I have to take this.
23
Hello? Yes, Admiral Grayling.
24
What kind of activity?
25
Birdie: Doesn't the government ever take a day off?
26
James: No, I understand.
27
Yes, of course.
28
Monica, honey, can you come inside the cabin for a second?
29
Monica: Sure.
30
Be right back, guys.
31
See how many whales you spot before we get back.
32
Cyrus: Did that seem weird to you?
33
Birdie: What, that dad got a work call?
34
He's always getting work calls.
35
Especially since we moved.
36
Cyrus: Then why did he ask Mom to come with him?
37
Birdie: Who cares?
38
I can't see anything from down here.
39
Cyrus: Birdie, what are you doing?
40
Birdie: Looking for whales!
41
Cyrus: Trust me, if there's a whale you'll see it.
42
You're not supposed to climb the railing.
43
Birdie: Then I'm going to get nice and close, look him right in the blowhole and say -- Whoa!
44
Cyrus: Bird!
45
Birdie: Whoa!
46
Cyrus: Birdie!

I'm throwing the life preserver!

Grab onto it and don't let go.

Swim to it!
54
Good, Bird.
55
Good. Hang on.
56
James: Cyrus, what's going on?
57
Monica: Where's Birdie?
58
Cyrus: She's in the water.
59
Monica: What?
60

Pull! Keep pulling!
64
Monica: Hang on, Birdie!
65

66
Pull. Birdie: Girl.
67
Cyrus: What?
68
Birdie: There's a girl floating in the water.
69
Cyrus: She's right, there's a girl out there.

Look. James: What?
71
Monica: Cyrus, what are you doing?
72
Cyrus! Cyrus: I'm going in.
73
James: Cyrus!
74
Come back! Cyrus!
75
Cyrus, swim back to the boat.
76

97
Birdie: Mom, is Holiday going to be all right?
98
Monica: Holiday?
99
Cyrus: That's what she said on the boat.
100
It must be her name, right?
101
Monica: You two must be freezing.
102
You're still wet.
103
Birdie: We're fine.
104
Where is she?
105
Monica: She's resting in that exam room.
106
James: Has she said anything else?
107
Monica: She hasn't woken up since we put her in the ambulance.
108
James: Cyrus, Birdie, you guys wait out here.
109

111
Cyrus: But you're going in.
112
Monica: Please, stay with your sister.

We'll be out soon.

119
James: Good.
120
I called around.
121
There's nothing out there about a missing girl.
122
Monica: She looks so peaceful lying there.
123
It's a miracle she survived, James.
124
James: Since when do you believe in miracles?
125
Monica: Sooner or later, someone's going to come looking for her, you know that.

I can give her something to calm her down.

Do you know where you are?

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
