Yeah!
Do not go over there. Trust me. Jimmy, please. Calm down, calm down.
Don't blow this. Not over her. This is not eighth-grade prom.
How you act, these things are important.
- Jesus Christ! - He's giving her a ring.
- That's not good. - Please take it back.
Whatever it is, you can deal with it later. This is not the time.
Just work with me on this.
Jimmy.
I'm so sorry.
Go. Just go.
I don't--
- Let me explain it to you. - Hey, you need--
Get away from me.
- Play somewhere else. - Just listen.
- Five minutes. - Go away!
- Jimmy. - Don't push me, don't push me.
- Go. - Fine, fine, okay!
- Play your game somewhere else. - Get the hell away from me.
Move, move, move! Move!
I need backup!
Pull over!
Come on, Jimmy, pull over!
Get away from me, man. Just--
You want to go through me? Come on.
I want to fight him.
- For what? - For what?
You weren't there?
What do you think he did, take your woman away?
Why did I let him take her away?
She was gone. She was always gonna leave.
What do you know anyway?
Your brother puts so much pressure on you. . .
. . .you looked for an edge. You figured she was it.
Why do you act like you care?
I'm just a thing to you, part of the job.
You pick up a check to help me out since you didn't help yourself.
Why does that make you better?
It doesn't. Why did you take the car?
I don't need to be pushed.
- Go on, say it. - Forget this.
You hoped this would get you thrown out. You' re looking for the exit.
What are you talking about?
You don't know who you are anymore!
You think you've got to be perfect or you' re a failure.
Well, forget that. Just forget it.
I was gonna give this to you before all this went down.
Impressive, isn't it?
- What is it? - It's the first thing I ever won.
It was probably the last time I ever felt pure victory.
No pressure, nobody breathing down my back.
Just driving because I loved it. Pure.
That's where you've gotta get back to. Doing it naturally, for you.
I don't have your gift, but I do have some things you don't have.
I got will and I got faith. Don't laugh, I'm serious.
I believe that you can will yourself into anything and do anything.
Having faith, that's like believing in--
That's like having a good disease, it's contagious.
Hang with people that have it, you' re gonna catch it.
That'll change your attitude.
And winning is an attitude.
So if you trust me-- No, if you trust yourself. . .
. . .by this season's end, you'll be on top or you won't.
But I guarantee you' re gonna know what Jimmy Bly is made of.
Outside Chicago, at the chicane it goes up. . .
. . .and comes down right where you got Brandenburg--
Is that when I dip down?
Forget it.
I'm tired of these spoons. We play with spoons.
- Say, "Ah." - Ah.
Welcome to Germany. Home of beer...
... the Autobahn and Beau Brandenburg.
- Qualifying begins tomorrow. - With two races left...
...Beau is leading in the race for the world championship.
Jimmy Bly is in second.
Commissioner Gilson has slapped Bly and teammate, Joe Tanto...
... with a $25,000 fine...
...for their recent joyride through downtown Chicago.
Doing great, Jimmy. Keep pushing that speed.
Hey.
You don't need to talk to me anymore?
- It's not like that. - Really? What is it like?
All right, here you go. Jimmy.
Three, two.
One. Beautiful. Come on, buddy.
Now, is he a hero, or is it hype? What do you think?
What do you want me to say?
I want to hear what you think!
Jimmy just needs time to develop, that's all.
When he can get it together off the track, he will on it.
That's what I think.
Like you got it together?
You can help the kid off the track more than on it.
You' re not racing on Sunday. I'm bringing Memo back.
Come here. Joseph, over here.
Sit.
At my level.
It's the moment of truth, my friend.
If he doesn't deliver next time out, he goes.
Don't hate me, but you go with him.
I'll come around here in Turn 7.
Driving off Brandenburg, I'll fake outside.
Eight's a tough place to pass.
I'm gonna carry that speed. . .
. . .bring it down the straightaway. I have plenty of speed.
Kind of flawless.
You' re not even paying attention. Watch this.
Show me again.
Yes, sir.
If you find yourself in a position to hold up traffic, do it.
I don't want any front-running.
You know the drill.
- Don't hurt yourself. - I told you and I told you too.
- What? - I told you I'll return.
Here I am, returned.
Like the real Borrow.
There's no helmet big enough to hold that head.
There's so much love in here.
You keep smiling, your face is gonna crack.
Why shouldn't he smile? He's got a lot to be happy about.
He's back where he belongs. Right, baby?
Yep.
Good?
Hey, you' re so good.
You win this, yeah?
You' re gonna win.
- Be safe, all right? - You too, be safe.
This is the second to last race of the season.
And what an exciting one it promises to be.
The crowds are here.
It looks like there's a thunderstorm maybe a mile from the track.
The rain threat hasn't dampened...
... the spirits of this crowd here in Germany.
What do you want?
Wanted to apologize.
Apologize to yourself.
Let's race.
I want you to stay in your world and don't get into his.
You push him hard. You get him thinking about you.
And you' re not thinking about him.
Got it.
The skies are opening up as the warm-up lap begins.
How's Jimmy?
He's all there.
We are racing in Germany.
Beau Brandenburg is starting in the pole position today.
Jimmy Bly is in second.
Brandenburg moves out in front on a course you can race in the rain.
Brake tires are on and they are at speed.
Memo Moreno is back, giving Jimmy Bly help as his teammate.
I'm sure Memo wants to make his presence felt today.
Boy, he is on the fly.
It's like he has something to prove.
Good move, Memo.
Keep it steady.
Somebody wants their job back.
I think Joe Tanto may want to watch his back.
Somebody's spinning!
Kenny Brack, he's in trouble.
He's gonna go way back in the field on that one.
Back at the front the battle continues.
Look at Brandenburg. He cuts off Bly!
- He tries to take me out. - Detach it. Hold your line.
Ride his blind spot.
I will, Joe, but I can't see a damn thing.
Neither can he. Just patience, my man. Patience.
Take him, Jimmy! Take him!
Jimmy Bly in second place.
Putting the pressure on Beau Brandenburg.
Push it.
Here we go.
Bly is gonna try to make a move in the corner...
...on Brandenburg on the outside. He does it!
Bly takes the lead.
Goddamn brilliant.
Car in trouble, spinning on the wet pavement.
- Looks like Gidley. - Oh, here comes Max Papis!
Crash!
Head on into that car! Max Papis is airborne.
If he takes it to the inside, don't follow him, he's setting you up.
In the hairpin, that fight for the lead continues.
Jimmy Bly has the lead now.
Brandenburg wants it back.
Brandenburg goes to the high side.
He gets by!
Brandenburg back to the lead.
Keep going, he's putting on a show.
It's a hell of a show.
Yeah, hell of a show.
Now Memo Moreno whips out of the pack and passes Andretti.
He's really trying to get up there with Brandenburg and Bly.
Memo, what are you doing?
I can almost touch him.
Hold your position.
Why? He's gonna win this.
I'm sure Carl Henry is not too happy with Moreno.
Now Bly wants to make a move.
Hold on, Memo Moreno trying to make...
... the same move on Jimmy Bly, his teammate.
Memo, no passing. Do you hear me?
I'm right there, Carl.
Lift off. Steady. What are you doing?
Moreno appears to have something to prove here.
He gets alongside Bly again.
Damn it, we went over this!
Lift off!
Lift off! You work for me. I said, lift off.
Why don't you let him drive? Come on, baby.
- Come on. Come on. Come on! - Shut up!
I've got to do this.
With his teammate in the battle for the championship...
...Moreno decided to stick his nose into this fight.
Hey, Memo, back off.
Only inches separate these two cars.
Memo, you're too close.
What's going on here? Bly is spinning.
He gets it under control. He's going backwards on the track.
Jimmy, what are you doing?
Jimmy, what the hell are you doing?
Memo?
Get out! Oh, God!
We're getting chopper pictures.
This is horrible. The car is upside down.
It's in a body of water. Moreno is pinned underwater.
It's okay, Memo. I'm here.
Beau, Memo crashed. Jimmy went after him. You gotta help.
He went into the river at Turn 5.
I'll get you out, Memo. It's gonna be okay.
- I'm on my way. - Beau, what are you gonna do?
Please be careful.
Oh, God! My foot!
Oh, come on.
Hang on, Memo! Hang on!
- Help me! - Get out!
- Help me! - Get out, now!
It's gonna blow up!
Hurry!
We've got Bly and Brandenburg to help a man in trouble.
Rescue teams are on the way, but the remote location...
...of this crash makes it difficult to reach them.
Lift it up, higher. Lift it!
Take a breath, Memo. Come on. We' re here.
We' re gonna get you out.
Now!
Come on. One, two. . . .
Get it over. Memo!
We got you, Memo.
- Come on, Memo. - I can't move my leg!
Come on.
It's gonna be okay.
Fuel everywhere.
They better get that driver out of there and themselves too.
That fuel could ignite, it could be floating on the water.
Come on!
Hurry up!
That is horrifying.
I've never seen anything like that.
It's unbelievable.
Worried about the well-being of another driver, another competitor.
Goes to show the kind of men they are, their true fabric.
But they worked as a team together.
Oh, my God, look at that! Are they okay?
It looks like they are. I think I see--
I see movement.
I can't move my legs. I can't move them.
Jimmy?
Jimmy? You all right?
It's just my foot.
You'll be fine. You'll come through this fine.
- How's Memo? - Fine, they' re looking after him.
Our thoughts, of course, with Memo Moreno and his family at this point.
Hey, Memo.
Hey, Joe.
How do I look?
Never looked better.
- Jimmy? - Yeah?
Hey.
Thanks.
- Memo, I'm sorry. - You came back for me.
Saved my life.
We race.
We take chances.
I took this chance.
So look at me.
Look at me.
Don't see you.
See me.
One who made a mistake.
That's all.
It wasn't a mistake.
How are you doing?
I'm all right.
All right if I come in?
Yeah.
You tried to get him out.
So did you.
You were there first.
I mean, he almost got you killed and you still tried.
Anybody would've.
Would they?
You' re a good man, Jimmy.
I'm sorry, I didn't want to win the championship this way.
See you.
The old Joe Tanto had a couple of attributes you should hold on to.
Wasn't long ago you would've said:
"There but for the grace of God, it's not me."
Quietly taking your place in the pack.
Where is that guy?
Where has he gone?
Who cares?
I do.
I miss him.
You' re the first to know I'm terminating the kid's contract.
- Why? - I don't think he's the real deal.
I don't think he's mentally tough enough.
I don't think he's adult enough!
Gets out of a car in a race.
- Saved a man's life. - I'm not here to debate!
I'm gonna go for Brandenburg. Next year.
- What are you doing? - Whatever it takes to win.
- His brother know? - He's brokering the deal.
- Don't do this. - It's done!
- Then undo it. - You suddenly care.
- Don't kill him off! - Don't kill him off?
I watched you kill yourself!
You had everything, and you threw it all away!
And I had to sit there and watch!
The slowest man in the fastest sport.
I wake up every morning, my legs are on fire.
I know I'm gonna have to sit in this chair for the rest of the day.
But if they gave me one more chance, I'd do it all over again.
It ain't gonna happen.
We are all damaged.
I've got an excuse.
You don't.
Do you?
I want you to know that I know about you going out to Brandenburg.
Where have you been?
Meeting after meeting.
I've got a dinner right now.
Catch you later?
- Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. - Okay.
Hello.
Jimmy, it's Sophia.
Is everything okay?
Something I have to tell you.
What restaurant did you pick?
Nina, you' re in great hands. You are going to love this place.
- DeMille. - Jimmy.
What are you doing here? I'll just be a minute.
Please don't walk away from me.
Did you sell me out?
Are you working for Brandenburg now?
We should take this inside.
Why are you doing this to me?
Wait a minute! Who sold out first?
I would never sell out my own brother.
When you stopped listening to me that's what you did.
I just tried something different.
For the first time I thought for myself.
- Was that wrong? - Shutting me out is different.
And I was with you all the way until you handed your mind over. . .
. . .to that has-been. Who got you here?
Who got all the glory? You couldn't book a plane ticket without me.
You left me, and let me tell you something:
There's no worse feeling getting someone. . .
. . .to the top only to have them drop you.
You did that, you.
Ten years, Jimmy!
All a waste.
It was coming together. Why not wait a bit longer?
Because I'm not your goddamn waiter.
I was your manager.
And I deserve better than that. I deserve much better!
Now you' re over, and I am not going down in flames with you, brother.
That's one trip you' re taking alone.
Welcome to the Grand Prix. It's a sunny day.
It's going to be a great race. After an eventful season...
... this comes down to championship time.
Everything's set. Let's get this thing signed.
After the race it'll be a madhouse. What do you say?
Let's hear what she says.
What's her idea?
Her idea? What do you mean her idea?
How does it feel?
What? How does what feel?
To be used.
What, I didn't treat you with manners?
You' re gonna blow this over that?
What, do you want to hit me? Would that make you feel better?
- Hurt? - A little.
Didn't hurt.
Call that a punch?
Did you know?
- I Know what? - I Know about my brother?
Yeah, I knew.
You could've told me.
I hoped you could work things out.
He was right, you know.
Never booked a plane ticket.
Remember I said by the season's end you' re gonna know what you' re made of?
It's the end of the season.
It's up to you.
Carl, you have to let me race.
I can win.
Any driver that can't get out of the car in five seconds can't run.
Trying to prove you' re better than I think?
Yeah.
Time him.
Ready?
Go!
- Four seconds. - Great.
Not bad.
Now the vertical test.
Carl, don't push it.
The vertical test.
You jump up and down on the bad foot 10 times. . .
. . .to see if you can handle the pressure.
Again, my rules.
Don't glare, Joe.
Makes your eyes look small.
It's all about commitment, right?
- Right. - Right.
All right, Jimmy. One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five. Come on.
Six. Come on, Jimmy. Seven. Come on.
Eight. Nine. Ten.
- Yeah! - Good.
Too bad you didn't try that hard sooner.
There are 100 laps...
...200 miles between this race and a champion.
Bye-bye, Daddy.
Bye, Lucas.
Going into this race, Brandenburg was thinking...
...he was the winner of the championship.
He was four points ahead, and Bly looked out of the running.
We've just received word that Bly will be driving...
... which is amazing news after his injury he suffered in Germany.
So as it stands, if Jimmy Bly wins this race...
...he will become the new world champion.
So why'd you do it?
You helped me. I thought maybe I could help you.
- Well, I appreciate it. - It's okay.
Don't go too fast.
Take care. Appreciate you coming.
Take care of yourself.
Jimmy Bly is a hero today, along with Joe Tanto and Beau Brandenburg...
... who all got to the scene of Memo Moreno's crash...
... which had his car in the water. He was about to drown.
They jumped in, got him out of the water...
...before a big explosion consumed the entire area.
You know that if I lose this race, I'm going to blame it on you.
That's what I'm here for.
I love you.
I love you too.
Gentlemen! Start your engines!
Let's look at the starting grid.
Beau Brandenburg in the pole position.
Gidley will be following him.
Joe Tanto in the Nextel car starts 10th.
Bly is starting in the 26th pole position.
He didn't qualify today.
He's got 100 laps to catch Beau Brandenburg...
...if he wants to become world champion.
We're off to a good start here in Detroit.
Brandenburg's jumped out in front.
Trouble!
Tanto's caught in traffic. He doesn't have anyplace to go!
Ladies and gentlemen, we are under a yellow flag...
...until the cars can be removed.
Joe Tanto is in the pit with a broken front wing.
What's the story on Tanto?
Tanto is out of it. Don't worry about him.
Got it. That's too bad.
Come on. Come on!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have just one lap until green.
Go, go, go!
A fast pit stop for the Nextel team, but this unfortunate mishap...
...is going to drop Tanto to last place...
...right behind his teammate, Jimmy Bly.
So, Jimmy, what do you think?
It's not looking too good.
We can work through this.
You think so?
I know we can if we stay tight and close.
Okay. Let's do it.
Green flag comes out again.
I'll take it right, you cut left.
Look at this amazing teamwork between Bly and Tanto!
Hey, Joe, not bad for an old-timer.
That's it. Every man for himself.
Hey, not so fast.
Who wants to be in front of the other?
What the hell are you two doing?
Back off, back off.
Don't be afraid of me.
Why would I be afraid of you?
Carl, let Joe race his race.
Thanks, kid. I appreciate that.
Let's split them at the turn. I'll take the inside.
They split around another car!
As they battle, it brings both cars forward.
Pass me on the left, Jimmy.
Way to go.
Tanto and Bly are double-teaming the entire field.
What an incredible display of driving!
- Come on, don't stop now. - Stopping? Who's stopping?
We are now halfway to the checkered flag.
Okay, Joe. Try to keep up.
Still back there, Joe?
- I'm still here. - I'm impressed.
Bly passes and Tanto is following suit.
With just 20 laps to go, Jimmy Bly has just moved into seventh place...
...and teammate, Joe Tanto, is in sixth.
Everybody's off the pace.
But Bly and Tanto are coming on strong.
Brandenburg still leads.
In second place is Alex Barron. Barron has an engine go!
Two cars swerving to miss the oil!
Car up over the wall! Several cars involved!
Here comes Jimmy Bly. He closes on the accident.
Bly has nowhere to go.
Bly and Tanto find themselves in second and third...
...behind Beau Brandenburg.
The drivers will take advantage of this full-course caution...
...and enter the pits for the last time this season.
Brandenburg, Bly and Tanto all are completing very fast pit stops.
Now, with 10 laps to go, Beau Brandenburg is in first place...
...Jimmy Bly is in second, and Joe Tanto is in third place.
The world championship comes down to these last 10 laps.
Jimmy, show them what you' re made of, kid.
Okay, Joe.
Green flag!
We're back to racing!
It's a sprint to the finish and championship.
Bly is right on Brandenburg's tail. He wants that championship.
Take him now. Make your move.
He comes alongside Brandenburg. Brandenburg cuts him off!
Bly is gonna try it again.
He cuts and ducks inside! Bly has the lead!
Jimmy Bly has just taken the lead.
Bly gets past Brandenburg. He's in the lead.
Great driving by Bly.
Brandenburg won't let Bly get away that easily.
I'll pull him back in. There's time.
Brandenburg is putting pressure on Bly.
Don't overreach, kid.
Just four laps to go and you are the world champion.
He's losing it.
Come on, Jimmy!
Bly may be in trouble. He weaves back and forth.
Brandenburg is right there, ready to get past him.
And Brandenburg goes to the lead!
Nice while it lasted.
Bly loses the lead with three laps to go.
He tried.
This is something we've seen this young rookie do so many times.
Carl Henry has got to be disappointed.
- What is he doing? - Jesus.
He's back.
Now, Joe Tanto making a move. He comes up alongside Jimmy Bly.
He passes him! Tanto to second.
They're shoving and elbowing each other.
Brandenburg, Tanto, Bly. One, two, three.
We've got one lap to go.
Let's do it.
Joe Tanto has taken the lead!
Unbelievable.
It's incredible. I can't believe it.
But problems with Tanto's car!
Tanto's in trouble.
Will it hold together?
No, not for long.
- Hang on, Joe. - Stay in there.
What's he doing? He ought to park it but he stays in front!
I can't hold it together! Take it, Jimmy!
They split him!
He's lifting off!
I see that. He had it!
Tanto has removed himself from the race, leaving Brandenburg and Bly.
Neck and neck down the homestretch, battling for the world championship.
Jimmy, just drive because you love it. Drive for pure victory.
He's humming.
Thanks for going, Jimmy.
Pure victory. You're right there.
Suddenly, Jimmy Bly seems to have a renewed vigor.
You'll buckle! Back it down!
Tanto's suspension has broken. He's now spinning.
But the battle is up front for the flag!
Here it comes. Right down to the finish.
- Bly takes it! - Bly wins the world championship!
Beau Brandenburg finishes second, and Joe Tanto finishes third.
Following Brandenburg, spinning across the finish for third place.
I'll say, the Hummer has taught us something here today in Detroit.
They' re gonna kill me.
Joseph.
- You could've won that race, right? - I did win.
Thanks.
Hey, you were incredible.
I know. I lost because of her.
This year's champion, Jimmy Bly!
Luc! Glad you stuck around.
You were really something out there.
Beau Brandenburg!
Go on, you' re missing your celebration.
Don't you go anywhere.
Come on, go!
And finally, our third finisher...
...Joe Tanto!
Jimmy! Jimmy, you did it, man.
Thanks for everything.
You owe your brother too. Whatever button he pushed got you going.
Listen, enjoy this. It doesn't last long.
