you're going, young man?

Hmm.

You better take this then,
hadn't you?

I gotta get going.

I tell you what.

jump in the van

...as far as you can go
with the squad.

you for the trials, I'm afraid.

Yeah, well...

It's not all about speed.

122
00:08:56,940 --> 00:08:59,215
It's about what school
you went to, is it?

00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:02,298
Frankly, Eddie...

124

get yourself qualified.

a career, is it? Skiing.

128
00:09:29,740 --> 00:09:32,573
I mean, how much does a
downhill skier earn? Huh?

Hmm?

I doubt it very much.

131

for something useful, Eddie.

So, you're
the mystery elf

who's been hacking up
my slope, huh?

336
00:25:30,220 --> 00:25:32,017
Just you? No pickaxe?

337
00:25:32,340 --> 00:25:34,058
You do realize
the time to start jumping

The Norwegians
already told me that.

00:25:39,140 --> 00:25:41,779
Did they also tell you you
look ridiculous in that gear?

342
00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:44,377
At least I'm wearing a jacket.

This is my jacket, pal.

Maybe you should
wear one, too.

PETRA: Yeah.
The great American coach.

359

Peary was his star jumper.
He broke records.

360

He was really
a gifted flyer

361

with a very
special style. But...

362

...he was too crazy,
you know?

363
00:26:41,420 --> 00:26:43,615
And now he's just crazy,
but in a different way.

Bronson Peary. How come
I've never heard of him?

if I borrow this?

Okay, thanks.

have a little chat about

Olympic ski-jumper.

you used to jump for America.

Yeah, Petra has
a lot of stories, man.

381
00:27:27,620 --> 00:27:28,689

this book, actually,

382

Warren Sharp.

I can remember,

Britain doesn't have a ski-jumping
team so I was thinking...

389
00:27:54,100 --> 00:27:57,012
Okay. Now I know
you're crazy.

390
00:27:57,940 --> 00:28:00,613
Look, I know we didn't get
off to the best of starts...

...but you shouldn't be

Final jump of the day
is an open event

644
00:44:22,900 --> 00:44:26,290
so if you could just
land one jump, you are...

645
00:44:26,420 --> 00:44:28,331
BOTH: Going to the Olympics.

646
00:44:28,500 --> 00:44:30,377
Exactly. Get better soon.

647
00:44:31,060 --> 00:44:32,379
All right, coach.

648
00:44:32,460 --> 00:44:34,098
I'm not your coach. Okay?

649
00:44:34,180 --> 00:44:36,614
Seriously. A coach teaches
you how to jump properly.

650
00:44:36,700 --> 00:44:38,179
I'm just teaching you
how to land

651
00:44:38,260 --> 00:44:39,579
so I can get you
out of my hair

652
00:44:39,660 --> 00:44:42,015
as soon as possible.
Got it?

653
00:44:42,380 --> 00:44:44,018
EDDIE: Peary.
What?

654
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:46,328
Thanks.

655
00:44:49,540 --> 00:44:51,451
Fine. Get better.

656
00:45:12,020 --> 00:45:13,089
If you're really
gonna do this,

657
00:45:13,180 --> 00:45:14,898
we should run through
a couple of things.

658
00:45:14,980 --> 00:45:16,254
Are your knees better?
Mmm-hmm.

659
00:45:16,340 --> 00:45:17,568
They better be.

660
00:45:17,980 --> 00:45:19,777
Okay, you ready?
Yeah.

661
00:45:21,460 --> 00:45:22,859
Okay, before we start,

662
00:45:22,940 --> 00:45:24,976
who's your favorite
female movie star?

663
00:45:25,260 --> 00:45:26,852
Honestly?
Yeah.

664
00:45:26,980 --> 00:45:29,289
Bo Derek.
Bo Derek? Okay, good call.

665
00:45:29,420 --> 00:45:32,173
Okay, every jump
from here on in...

666
00:45:32,260 --> 00:45:35,218
...I want you to approach it
as though you are making love

667
00:45:35,300 --> 00:45:37,530
to the beautiful Bo Derek.

668
00:45:37,660 --> 00:45:38,934
Okay?
Right.

669
00:45:39,060 --> 00:45:40,379
Starting gate
is your foreplay.

670
00:45:40,460 --> 00:45:43,896
The in-run is where you
build your rhythm. Okay?

671
00:45:44,060 --> 00:45:45,379
And the take-off,

672
00:45:45,460 --> 00:45:47,974
that's your special moment.
All right?

673
00:45:48,100 --> 00:45:49,374
Same facial expressions.

674
00:45:49,460 --> 00:45:51,337
Same straining
of the muscles.

675
00:45:51,420 --> 00:45:54,696
The same peaceful
feeling of release, okay?

676
00:45:54,820 --> 00:45:56,014
If you do it right.

677
00:45:56,140 --> 00:45:57,620
Of course, with any
act of love-making

678
00:45:57,660 --> 00:46:00,254
there's only one way to be
sure you've done it right.

679
00:46:00,340 --> 00:46:01,409
Right?

680
00:46:01,540 --> 00:46:02,540
Yeah.

681
00:46:04,260 --> 00:46:05,932
You fall asleep?

682
00:46:06,300 --> 00:46:07,938
(STAMMERS)
She falls asleep?

683
00:46:08,380 --> 00:46:10,018
Okay. Watch.

Right.

694
00:46:36,860 --> 00:46:38,691
Am I going down there?
Yeah.

695
00:46:38,780 --> 00:46:40,896
Brilliant.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Eddie.

696
00:46:41,300 --> 00:46:45,452
Crouch. Clench. Release.

697
00:46:45,860 --> 00:46:47,179
That's it.

of your life

and that's
the noise you make?

702
00:46:53,820 --> 00:46:55,014
It is in England, yeah.

Bo Derek! Yeah, baby!

710
00:47:09,260 --> 00:47:11,251
I think a little bit
of wee came out.

711
00:47:13,900 --> 00:47:17,654
So, all you have to do is make
this landing and you qualify.

712
00:47:17,740 --> 00:47:19,253
One jump away
from the Olympics, man.

713
00:47:19,340 --> 00:47:21,137
Get your skis.

714
00:47:21,820 --> 00:47:23,299
Okay. Stay focused.

715
00:47:23,420 --> 00:47:26,492
Do everything I told
you to do only better.

716
00:47:26,940 --> 00:47:28,931

00:52:33,820 --> 00:52:35,420
You get the money,
the transport, I'm in.

807
00:52:35,500 --> 00:52:36,649
Let's do this.

808
00:52:40,020 --> 00:52:42,011
So, if this is you now...

809
00:52:44,500 --> 00:52:46,491
...how much more
are they asking you to jump?

810
00:52:56,700 --> 00:52:58,179
(SCOFFS)
Oh.

811
00:52:58,260 --> 00:53:00,171
That's you up poo creek.

812
00:53:00,620 --> 00:53:01,689
JANETTE: Terry.

813
00:53:02,140 --> 00:53:04,017
If I'm gonna go
on the European circuit

814
00:53:04,100 --> 00:53:06,091
I'm gonna need to raise
some serious cash.

815
00:53:06,220 --> 00:53:07,900
Yeah, well, don't ask us,
we ain't got any.

816
00:53:08,220 --> 00:53:09,220
I know.

817
00:53:09,300 --> 00:53:10,779
What about the money
for the van?

818
00:53:10,860 --> 00:53:12,691
Can't that wait
till next year?

819
00:53:12,860 --> 00:53:14,134
TERRY: No.
I am not spending

820
00:53:14,220 --> 00:53:16,859
any more money
on this rubbish.

821
00:53:17,540 --> 00:53:18,893
It's a matter
of time before

822
00:53:18,980 --> 00:53:20,660
he walks through that
door in a wheelchair.

823
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:22,970
So you've gotta stop taking
all these stupid risks, son,

824
00:53:23,060 --> 00:53:25,016
and come back and do
a little bit of plastering.

825
00:53:25,380 --> 00:53:27,450
You tried your best.
Fair play to you. Well done.

826
00:53:27,540 --> 00:53:29,371
But it wasn't
good enough, was it?

827
00:53:29,540 --> 00:53:31,849
So it's got to stop.
All this has gotta stop. End of.

828
00:53:31,980 --> 00:53:33,299
Okay.

829
00:53:39,220 --> 00:53:41,211
Come on, son, hurry up.
I don't wanna be late.

830
00:53:41,420 --> 00:53:42,569
What are you doing?

831
00:53:42,700 --> 00:53:43,974
He's coming
to work with me.

832
00:53:44,060 --> 00:53:45,891
Is he?
Yeah, he is.

833
00:53:46,060 --> 00:53:47,971
Oi, come on, son, up you get.

Oi.

836
00:53:53,340 --> 00:53:54,659
What the hell
are you playing at?

837
00:53:54,740 --> 00:53:56,492
I just need to borrow
it for a few weeks.

838
00:53:56,580 --> 00:53:58,935
Get out of that van. Now.

839
00:53:59,060 --> 00:54:00,334
I'll take really good
care of it, I promise.

840
00:54:00,420 --> 00:54:02,695
Thank you. Love you.
TERRY: I'm warning you.

841

Oi. Come back here!
You thieving little git!

842
00:54:08,100 --> 00:54:09,169
TERRY: Did you
know about this?

843
00:54:09,260 --> 00:54:10,773
Mmm. Yeah.

844
00:54:10,900 --> 00:54:13,300
And you're not gonna like what I
did with our savings, either.

845
00:54:13,340 --> 00:54:14,340

00:54:55,620 --> 00:54:57,815
The wanderer returns, huh?

851
00:54:57,940 --> 00:55:00,295
Mum gave me some money and
I sorted out the transport.

852
00:55:00,380 --> 00:55:02,974
Is that what you call it?
Come on, let's get a drink.

853
00:55:03,100 --> 00:55:04,453
Hang on.

854
00:55:04,900 --> 00:55:07,209
I don't wanna get
snow on the seat.

855
00:55:07,340 --> 00:55:09,171
This window is a bugger.
(SQUEAKING)

856
00:55:11,580 --> 00:55:14,811
I think it's a good thing they
turned you down, man. It is.

857
00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:17,489
I mean, 61 meters
is a genuine distance.

858
00:55:17,580 --> 00:55:19,855
Means you gotta
do this for real.

859
00:55:20,020 --> 00:55:22,454
Well, it's easy for you to say,
you were a champion.

860
00:55:22,580 --> 00:55:24,650
You were always
really good.

861
00:55:25,540 --> 00:55:27,451
I was kicked off
every team I was ever on

862
00:55:27,540 --> 00:55:29,220
before I even got
a chance to prove myself.

863
00:55:29,300 --> 00:55:32,098
Believe it or not, I do know what
it's like to be written off, Eddie.

864
00:55:32,820 --> 00:55:34,014
Of course,
my solution was

865
00:55:34,100 --> 00:55:36,739
just to crawl inside
the bottle here, but...

866
00:55:38,380 --> 00:55:41,053
I was in hospital for a
year when I was a kid.

867
00:55:42,060 --> 00:55:43,732
Dodgy knees.

868
00:55:46,900 --> 00:55:49,573
All the doctors said
I should give up sport.

869
00:55:50,460 --> 00:55:52,212
Take up reading.

870
00:55:54,500 --> 00:55:55,694
First book I got:

871
00:55:55,820 --> 00:55:58,288

872

BOTH: <i>Moments of Glory.</i>

873
00:55:59,580 --> 00:56:01,172
Yeah, I know it.

874
00:56:04,380 --> 00:56:06,689
Well, anyway,
that is the book

875
00:56:06,860 --> 00:56:09,658
that made me realize
I needed my own moment.

876
00:56:12,300 --> 00:56:15,656
That one thing I could do
to prove them all wrong.

877
00:56:19,100 --> 00:56:20,931
Do you think I'm mad?

878
00:56:21,180 --> 00:56:22,249
Yeah.

879
00:56:22,740 --> 00:56:23,775
(CHUCKLES)

880
00:56:23,860 --> 00:56:26,897
You're completely
mad, man. But, hey...

881
00:56:27,020 --> 00:56:29,454
...you kinda gotta be mad
to do this sport, right?

882
00:56:29,740 --> 00:56:30,740
Yep.

883
00:56:32,420 --> 00:56:33,420
So...

884
00:56:35,540 --> 00:56:37,531
...if you want your moment,
Eddie Edwards,

885
00:56:37,620 --> 00:56:39,417
I can get you your moment.

886
00:56:39,660 --> 00:56:41,059
But it's gonna
hurt like hell.

887

For both of us.

some proper equipment.

00:56:54,660 --> 00:56:55,854

00:57:01,860 --> 00:57:03,612
Perfect.
Size 11, right?

892
00:57:03,700 --> 00:57:04,815
Mm-hmm.

893
00:57:04,940 --> 00:57:06,532
Oh, wow.

894
00:57:09,620 --> 00:57:11,178
Peary, is this not theft?

895
00:57:11,260 --> 00:57:12,978
It's the Lost and Found, man.

896
00:57:13,060 --> 00:57:14,857
Come on. Some guy dropped
10 bucks on the street

897
00:57:14,940 --> 00:57:16,453
and you were to pick it up,
would that be theft?

898
00:57:16,580 --> 00:57:17,615
EDDIE: Yes.

899
00:57:17,740 --> 00:57:19,139
What if he didn't know
it was missing?

900
00:57:19,220 --> 00:57:21,290
Then I'd give it
to charity or something.

901
00:57:21,420 --> 00:57:25,015
Eddie, you are a charity.
Your needs are much greater.

902
00:57:25,220 --> 00:57:26,778
What about you?

903
00:57:27,340 --> 00:57:29,649
Me? I'm just
stealing these.

904
00:57:37,900 --> 00:57:39,970
Any better?
It's not better. It's crap.

your timing, your balance...

...your trajectory
all working together.

969

to apologize. Okay?

on my knees

to let me jump again.

here in Calgary.

Some athletes

1273
01:19:12,340 --> 01:19:14,729

his right to be here.

a hairdresser in Bristol

1277
01:19:22,940 --> 01:19:25,010
claiming that she's
been your lover...

Now, Ron,

1281
01:19:32,860 --> 01:19:34,134
what are your thoughts?

1282
01:19:34,220 --> 01:19:36,097

You confirmed
all my fears, Eddie.

01:40:55,300 --> 01:40:57,575
<i>I'm shouting</i>

1583
01:40:57,660 --> 01:41:01,096
<i>Don't care who is listening</i>

1584
01:41:01,180 --> 01:41:04,616
<i>Don't live here,
I'm visiting</i>

1585
01:41:04,700 --> 01:41:08,773
<i>To go where I've never been</i>

1586
01:41:08,860 --> 01:41:11,499
<i>I'm reaching</i>

1587
01:41:11,580 --> 01:41:15,255
<i>'Cause this isn't far enough</i>

1588
01:41:15,340 --> 01:41:18,776
<i>There's more
in this heart than love</i>

1589
01:41:18,900 --> 01:41:23,371
<i>Won 't stop
till I'm high above</i>

1590
01:41:23,460 --> 01:41:26,850
<i>I'm cursed with anticipation</i>

1591
01:41:26,940 --> 01:41:30,489
<i>I have no time
for conversation</i>

1592
01:41:30,620 --> 01:41:35,136
<i>Look at me,
I'm free to do what I want</i>

1593
01:41:35,220 --> 01:41:37,529
<i>What I want</i>

1594
01:41:37,620 --> 01:41:41,056
<i>Come on, thrill me
Come on, kill me</i>

1595
01:41:41,140 --> 01:41:44,450
<i>Feel the blood rush
Round the body</i>

1596
01:41:44,540 --> 01:41:47,930
<i>Can 't hold it in
and I can't fight it</i>

1597
01:41:48,020 --> 01:41:51,649
<i>Can 't turn away
and I can't hide it</i>

1598
01:41:51,740 --> 01:41:55,176
<i>Come on, find me
Come on, blind me</i>

1599
01:41:55,260 --> 01:41:58,730
<i>Look, the fear
is far behind me</i>

1600
01:41:58,820 --> 01:42:02,176
<i>What was just a dream
now will be</i>

1601
01:42:02,260 --> 01:42:05,809
<i>I'm calling to the world,
Come on, come on, thrill me</i>

1602
01:42:18,460 --> 01:42:20,815
<i>Come on, thrill me</i>

1603
01:42:20,900 --> 01:42:24,734
<i>I feel alive
when you're with me</i>

1604
01:42:24,820 --> 01:42:28,529
<i>I feel the endless
possibilities</i>

1605
01:42:28,620 --> 01:42:31,817
<i>You give me something
You give me something</i>

1606
01:42:31,900 --> 01:42:35,734
<i>You give me everything</i>

1607
01:42:35,820 --> 01:42:39,210
<i>And I will make it
all worth it</i>

1608
01:42:39,300 --> 01:42:43,088
<i>Yeah, I will reach
the summit white as snow</i>

1609
01:42:43,180 --> 01:42:46,252
<i>You make me wanna
You make me wanna</i>

1610
01:42:46,340 --> 01:42:49,298
<i>You make me wanna be yours</i>

1611
01:42:49,380 --> 01:42:53,009
<i>'Cause we were honestly</i>

1612
01:42:53,100 --> 01:42:56,615
<i>We were nothing
more than each other</i>

1613
01:42:56,700 --> 01:43:00,136
<i>But I needed you
Yeah, I needed you</i>

1614
01:43:00,220 --> 01:43:04,611
<i>Like you needed me</i>

1615
01:43:05,540 --> 01:43:08,816
<i>Learning to fly
Out of the sky</i>

1616
01:43:08,900 --> 01:43:12,734
<i>Traveling high
Learning to fly</i>

1617
01:43:12,820 --> 01:43:16,051
<i>All over town
I'm coming down</i>

1618
01:43:16,140 --> 01:43:19,974
<i>Out of the sky
For you</i>

1619
01:43:20,060 --> 01:43:23,416
<i>Learning to fly
Out of the sky</i>

1620
01:43:23,500 --> 01:43:27,334
<i>Out of the sky
I'm on a ride</i>

1621
01:43:27,420 --> 01:43:30,890
<i>All over town
I'm coming down</i>

1622
01:43:30,980 --> 01:43:34,768
<i>Learning to fly
For you</i>

1623
01:43:34,860 --> 01:43:39,138
<i>I can see the eagle landing</i>

1624
01:43:41,660 --> 01:43:45,050
<i>It's all I wanna do now</i>

1625
01:43:45,180 --> 01:43:49,970
<i>Didn 't think
I'd ever get so high</i>

1626
01:44:01,660 --> 01:44:05,972
<i>Take me to that
hallowed ground</i>

1627
01:44:08,500 --> 01:44:13,096
<i>High above
So safe and sound</i>

1628
01:44:15,420 --> 01:44:21,177
<i>Do your best
to clip my wings</i>

1629
01:44:21,260 --> 01:44:27,699
<i>You see, my skin
is thicker than you think</i>

1630
01:44:27,780 --> 01:44:31,295
<i>So I lock away that madness</i>

1631
01:44:31,380 --> 01:44:34,770
<i>Keep emotion in a tight fist</i>

1632
01:44:34,860 --> 01:44:41,698
<i>Gonna hold my head up high
until I reach the summit</i>

1633
01:44:45,380 --> 01:44:49,771
<i>Ascension</i>

1634
01:44:51,940 --> 01:44:56,775
<i>Just sky holding me</i>

1635
01:44:58,340 --> 01:45:01,650
<i>Oh to rise like an angel</i>

1636
01:45:01,740 --> 01:45:05,335
<i>Just to kiss every star</i>

1637
01:45:05,460 --> 01:45:08,532
<i>See the cloud's
silver lining</i>

1638
01:45:08,620 --> 01:45:12,056
<i>Flying high and far</i>

1639
01:45:12,140 --> 01:45:18,010
<i>Oh, ascension</i>

1640
01:45:19,380 --> 01:45:24,659
<i>Ascension</i>

1640
01:45:25,305 --> 01:45:31,562
