Translation of "wise up" into Spanish

Before he wised up and moved to the water.

Antes de que aprendiera y decidiera usar el agua.

Maybe one of these days you'll wise up and come work for us.

Tal vez un día de éstos te avives y vengas a trabajar para nosotros.

You take a smart guy, put him in a racket he ain't wised up to and he's the biggest chump on earth.

Poned a un tipo fatuo, en un medio del que lo ignora todo y se dejará hacer sin enterarse de nada.
