Are you getting tired
of being congratulated on that remarkable,

23
00:01:44,833 --> 00:01:46,291
and it was a remarkable achievement?

24
00:01:46,375 --> 00:01:48,500
No, I'm not getting tired.
It was worth it.

25
00:01:48,583 --> 00:01:50,434
- [Carson] Yeah...
- Glad to meet you, by the way.

26
00:01:50,458 --> 00:01:53,500

I'd have to do your show before I met you.

- [Carson] Two and a half days?

31
00:02:04,666 --> 00:02:07,083
[Diana]...it's overly ambitious,
but I think I can make it.

32
00:02:07,166 --> 00:02:08,583
And that's my last swim.

Yes.

[Diana] Yes. We're not doing that.

you went to Petco.

- Well, happy freaking birthday to you.

00:04:18,791 --> 00:04:21,333
Yeah, I brought my Scrabble

you're missing a G,
two Es, and at least one blank tile.

- [Diana] Okay.

- No, wait. I gotta think of a wish.
- [man] Make it a good one!

I wish...

102
00:04:57,458 --> 00:04:58,708
I was five years old,

103
00:04:58,791 --> 00:05:02,333

the Webster's Dictionary in my lap.

[in accent] "Darling,
I am waiting five years

- "This is your destiny."

Yeah, I'm gonna...
I'm gonna steal her away now. Come on.

112
00:05:22,916 --> 00:05:26,083
- No, I was just getting to the good part.
- Have you heard the expression...

113
00:05:26,166 --> 00:05:29,000
I'm sure you have. The one that goes,
uh, "Leave them wanting more?"

114
00:05:29,083 --> 00:05:31,603
- I just... I never found it applies to me.
- [Bonnie chuckling]

00:05:31,666 --> 00:05:33,059
- [Bonnie] Come here.
- [Diana] What?

116
00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:35,500
- There's Nina. She'd still...
- I know. Look over there.

117
00:05:35,583 --> 00:05:38,250
She's got, um, white pants and she's tall.

118
00:05:38,333 --> 00:05:40,375
- [pop music playing over radio]
- [Diana] Oh.

119
00:05:40,458 --> 00:05:42,041
- [Diana] Oh God.
- What?

120
00:05:42,125 --> 00:05:43,565
- I don't know.
- What's the problem?

121
00:05:44,291 --> 00:05:46,000
I don't know, she seems a little...

122
00:05:46,083 --> 00:05:48,708
Nice? Seems normal? Not psycho?

123
00:05:49,208 --> 00:05:50,625
[indistinct chatter]

124
00:05:50,708 --> 00:05:52,250
Does she know a lot about me?

125
00:05:52,333 --> 00:05:53,791
She's got your poster on her wall

126
00:05:53,875 --> 00:05:56,416
and she's got your face tattooed
on her ass.

127
00:05:56,500 --> 00:05:57,333
Yes.

128
00:05:57,416 --> 00:05:59,916
- That's not funny.
- Let's just go talk to her.

129
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,083
You're gonna...
you're gonna ask all about herself,

130
00:06:02,166 --> 00:06:05,083
and, um,
you're not gonna talk about yourself.

131
00:06:05,166 --> 00:06:07,833
I've been to Vietnam, Uganda,

132
00:06:08,333 --> 00:06:10,791
caves of Belize, Sydney.

133
00:06:10,875 --> 00:06:12,625
I covered the Olympics there.

134
00:06:12,708 --> 00:06:16,250
Thirty years with ABC Sports
has taken me all over the world.

135
00:06:16,333 --> 00:06:19,708
But my favorite place, Cuba.

136
00:06:20,541 --> 00:06:23,708
I'm sure you could've guessed.
I mean, I imagine you know that...

137
00:06:24,541 --> 00:06:25,875
- Yeah. Oh yeah.
- [Diana] Yeah.

138
00:06:25,958 --> 00:06:29,875
Cuba, it's just loomed
in my imagination since I was a kid.

139
00:06:30,791 --> 00:06:33,000
The magical place across the water.

140
00:06:33,833 --> 00:06:35,208
Forbidden land.

141
00:06:35,708 --> 00:06:39,000
[chuckling] We weren't allowed there,
they weren't allowed here.

142
00:06:39,083 --> 00:06:41,250
Wow, that's amazing.

143
00:06:43,125 --> 00:06:44,541
So, how do you know Bonnie?

144
00:06:44,625 --> 00:06:47,125
I thought maybe you and her were...

145
00:06:48,083 --> 00:06:49,958
Oh no, no, no, we're best friends.

146
00:06:50,041 --> 00:06:52,833
I mean, we dated for, like, a second
200 years ago, but...

147
00:06:53,333 --> 00:06:54,750
[breathing deeply, exhaling]

148
00:06:54,833 --> 00:06:56,833
So, tell me something about you.

149
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:00,416
Just because we're on a one-way street
hurtling towards death

150
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:03,583
doesn't mean
that we have to succumb to mediocrity.

151
00:07:03,666 --> 00:07:08,041
I mean, you turn 60 and the world decides
that you're a bag of bones.

152
00:07:08,791 --> 00:07:10,333
I'm 58, so I wouldn't know.

153
00:07:11,625 --> 00:07:12,750
[dog barking]

154
00:07:12,833 --> 00:07:16,000
Seemed like it was going pretty well
with, uh, you know, what's her name.

155
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:19,583
Oh yeah, it was great. She was great.

156
00:07:19,666 --> 00:07:21,833
It was great. No, it's not that.

157
00:07:21,916 --> 00:07:25,666
It's, I don't know, dating.
I don't think I need that anymore.

158
00:07:26,458 --> 00:07:27,958
I hear you. Me neither.

159
00:07:28,833 --> 00:07:31,541
So, what's the funk? Is it work?

160
00:07:33,166 --> 00:07:34,416
It's everything.

161
00:07:34,916 --> 00:07:36,666
Okay? Where's the excellence?

162
00:07:36,750 --> 00:07:37,916
Oh God.

163
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,559
- I'm serious.
- [Bonnie] Ugh, that again.

164
00:07:39,583 --> 00:07:41,958
I mean,
I don't think I can take it anymore.

165
00:07:42,041 --> 00:07:43,125
[utensils clattering]

166
00:07:44,041 --> 00:07:46,875
Well, if you feel that way,

00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,958
I hate to interrupt your conversation,

506
00:24:50,041 --> 00:24:52,791
but, um,
I... I just need an answer from you.

507
00:24:52,875 --> 00:24:55,541
Did you contact that guy
about the steel cage?

508
00:24:55,625 --> 00:24:57,125
Oh. Oh yeah.

509
00:24:57,208 --> 00:24:59,250
No, I'm not doing that again.

510
00:24:59,750 --> 00:25:00,916
Excuse me?

511
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,291
Well, a shark cage makes it an aided swim.

512
00:25:04,375 --> 00:25:05,375
No, thanks.

513
00:25:05,875 --> 00:25:08,083
It's just me and the ocean the whole way.

514
00:25:08,166 --> 00:25:09,875
Well, when were you gonna tell me that?

515
00:25:09,958 --> 00:25:13,625
Yeah, I don't want an asterisk
next to my life's greatest achievement.

516
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,750
- But you know it's never been done before.
- Exactly.

517
00:25:18,375 --> 00:25:19,458
I'll be the first.

518
00:25:20,041 --> 00:25:22,250
I'm the swimmer, Bon. It's my call.

519
00:25:23,291 --> 00:25:25,750
- Hello?
- [woman] Come in, come inside.

520
00:25:25,833 --> 00:25:27,458
- [woman exclaiming]
- Hello.

521
00:25:27,541 --> 00:25:29,708
- Oh my gosh.
- Anna!

522
00:25:29,791 --> 00:25:32,416
- I'm so excited to have you.
- Thank you.

523
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:33,500
- Bonnie, yes?
- Bonnie.

524
00:25:33,541 --> 00:25:35,708
- Hello, I'm Diana.
- She's dying to meet you.

525
00:25:35,791 --> 00:25:38,958
- Here, I take.
- Oh, that's okay, I got it, I got it.

526
00:25:39,041 --> 00:25:41,041
You know, I haven't seen Nina in years,

527
00:25:41,125 --> 00:25:43,083
but, uh,
she and my mom still talk every week,

528
00:25:43,166 --> 00:25:44,326
and we always hear about you.

529
00:25:44,375 --> 00:25:46,208
- [woman] Mm-hmm.
- We're so grateful.

530
00:25:46,291 --> 00:25:48,000
- Thank you so much.
- Yeah.

531
00:25:48,083 --> 00:25:49,750
- Our home is yours.
- Our pleasure.

532
00:25:49,833 --> 00:25:51,166
[in French] Isn't it, Mia?

533
00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:54,333
The English Channel,
for example, is 21 miles.

534
00:25:54,416 --> 00:25:57,583
I could swim that
in seven and a half hours,

535
00:25:57,666 --> 00:25:58,958
even in the cold.

536
00:25:59,041 --> 00:26:00,208
Cuba is on another level.

537
00:26:00,291 --> 00:26:04,833
It's 100 miles, or 60 hours,

538
00:26:04,916 --> 00:26:06,541
of constant swimming.

539
00:26:07,125 --> 00:26:09,666
Now, I can stop to get medical attention,

540
00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:12,250
I receive nourishment from my handlers,

541
00:26:12,333 --> 00:26:17,833
or just float and marvel
at the dazzling universe above.

542
00:26:17,916 --> 00:26:20,083
It's just so cool.

543
00:26:20,583 --> 00:26:23,416
I'm this tiny speck

544
00:26:23,916 --> 00:26:26,250
floating under the stars,

545
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:30,291
but I can't stop or touch the boat,

546
00:26:30,375 --> 00:26:32,041
even to poop or pee.

547
00:26:32,625 --> 00:26:34,833
- Do you poop in the water?
- [kids giggling]

548
00:26:34,916 --> 00:26:37,041
- Yes. I'll get back to that.
- [boy] Eww.

549
00:26:37,125 --> 00:26:38,291
[kids giggling]

550
00:26:38,375 --> 00:26:40,416
[Diana] But first,
I should tell you about the cold,

551
00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:43,375
the risk for hypothermia,
but that's not what I'm most afraid of.

552
00:26:44,583 --> 00:26:46,500
What are you most afraid of?

553
00:26:46,583 --> 00:26:47,833
Sea creatures.

554
00:26:47,916 --> 00:26:49,166
In these very waters,

555
00:26:49,250 --> 00:26:52,208
live some of the deadliest
marine animals on Earth.

556
00:26:52,291 --> 00:26:55,083
Forty-nine varieties of sharks,

557
00:26:55,166 --> 00:26:57,041
stingrays, man of war.

558
00:26:57,125 --> 00:26:59,875
And at night,
you don't even know they're there.

559
00:26:59,958 --> 00:27:03,625
It's so dark you can barely see
a few inches in front of your face,

560
00:27:03,708 --> 00:27:06,250
and they're right out there
just waiting for us.

561
00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:07,333
Yes?

562
00:27:07,416 --> 00:27:09,458
Here I am, 30 years later,

563
00:27:09,541 --> 00:27:13,041
and I would love to see Pizza Hut
emblazoned on my swimsuit

564
00:27:13,125 --> 00:27:14,750
as I traverse these...

565
00:27:14,833 --> 00:27:17,625
Yes. Your math is correct, I am 61,

566
00:27:17,708 --> 00:27:20,041
but that's the reason <i>to</i> do it,
not the other...

567
00:27:21,791 --> 00:27:24,291
Well, of course you're entitled
to your opinion,

568
00:27:25,083 --> 00:27:29,708
but I can't begin to tell you how
incredibly wrong and shortsighted it is.

569
00:27:31,125 --> 00:27:33,708
First time,
it was like taking candy from a baby.

570
00:27:33,791 --> 00:27:38,000
I just... I strutted into Rocky Aoki's
office, the Benihana guy,

571
00:27:38,083 --> 00:27:41,541
and I heard he was into ocean stuff,
so I just showed up,

572
00:27:41,625 --> 00:27:46,833
and I walked out with this huge,
like, lottery-sized check for $300,000.

573
00:27:46,916 --> 00:27:48,934
- You realize I've heard this story?
- [Diana] Yeah.

574
00:27:48,958 --> 00:27:51,250
- Right, like, 400 times.
- [Diana] It's a good story.

575
00:27:51,750 --> 00:27:54,333
Yeah, but now it's like
a giant-sized lottery check.

576
00:27:55,333 --> 00:27:56,958
Think he wants to invest again?

577
00:27:57,041 --> 00:27:58,541
Actually, he's dead.

578
00:27:59,291 --> 00:28:00,416
Oh.

579
00:28:00,500 --> 00:28:03,000
Also, we need $500,000 this time.

580
00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:08,583
[Bonnie] Well,
maybe we need, like, a new angle.

581
00:28:08,666 --> 00:28:11,708
Less men in suits and more lady stuff.

582
00:28:11,791 --> 00:28:14,250
- What do you mean, like tampons?
- [Bonnie chuckling]

583
00:28:14,333 --> 00:28:16,208
Not that we need those anymore, thank God.

584
00:28:16,291 --> 00:28:17,375
No, thank God.

585
00:28:17,458 --> 00:28:18,708
Also, Bon,

586
00:28:18,791 --> 00:28:21,500
not that I'm worried
because I'm... I'm not, but

587
00:28:23,083 --> 00:28:25,041
what are we gonna do about the sharks?

588
00:28:25,666 --> 00:28:28,142
- Sharks don't hunt people. Okay?
- [rock music playing on radio]

589
00:28:28,166 --> 00:28:30,166
They don't wanna eat humans,
they wanna eat seals.

590
00:28:30,250 --> 00:28:31,750
Yeah, but...

591
00:28:31,833 --> 00:28:35,125
Sometimes, they'll test
whether you are in fact a seal.

592
00:28:35,208 --> 00:28:37,541
How exactly do they test you? I mean...

593
00:28:37,625 --> 00:28:39,166
That's why we have the shield.

594
00:28:40,166 --> 00:28:43,958
Two electrodes
attached to the back of each kayak

595
00:28:44,041 --> 00:28:45,875
that transmit an amplified signal.

596
00:28:45,958 --> 00:28:47,708
They hate it. You watch.

597
00:28:51,083 --> 00:28:52,333
[Bonnie] Oh!

598
00:28:53,791 --> 00:28:54,708
Oh!

599
00:28:54,791 --> 00:28:56,833
Is... is that really necessary?

600
00:28:56,916 --> 00:28:58,291
Don't worry, we've tested it.

601
00:28:58,375 --> 00:29:01,291
Tried it on a bloody horse's leg
in the South Pacific.

602
00:29:01,375 --> 00:29:04,333
Now, that's a dinner bell for a shark.
They all turned away.

603
00:29:04,416 --> 00:29:07,458
Do you think you can, like,
shine a light on her at night?

604
00:29:07,541 --> 00:29:08,625
'Cause I can't see her,

605
00:29:08,708 --> 00:29:12,041
and the only way I know where she is
is when she's, uh, slapping the water...

606
00:29:12,125 --> 00:29:13,208
- Guys!
- ...with her hands.

607
00:29:13,291 --> 00:29:14,958
- [man] Light attracts bait fish.
- Hello?

608
00:29:15,041 --> 00:29:17,001
- [Diana] Guys!
- [man] Oh, he's coming in. Watch.

609
00:29:17,083 --> 00:29:18,083
[Diana gasping]

610
00:29:18,625 --> 00:29:20,625
[electrodes warbling]

611
00:29:20,708 --> 00:29:24,750
Hey! Tiny sensory organs in the snout.
The electrical current messes them up.

612
00:29:26,916 --> 00:29:30,208
Me and my divers will be
all eyes and ears doing our sweeps,

613
00:29:30,291 --> 00:29:32,000
ready if, God forbid,
the shield goes down.

614
00:29:32,083 --> 00:29:34,041
I'd... I'd like to know
what weapons you use.

615
00:29:34,125 --> 00:29:36,708
Is it like spear guns, or... or...

616
00:29:36,791 --> 00:29:38,958
Poles with tennis balls.

617
00:29:40,583 --> 00:29:41,750
We won't harm 'em.

618
00:29:41,833 --> 00:29:43,958
You know, just a prod on the snout.

619
00:29:45,250 --> 00:29:46,250
So, no weapons.

620
00:29:47,291 --> 00:29:50,000
Look, Diana, we'll protect you, all right?

621
00:29:50,583 --> 00:29:52,083
But you gotta remember,

622
00:29:52,166 --> 00:29:54,125
this is their ocean, okay?

623
00:29:54,208 --> 00:29:55,328
You're just passing through.

624
00:29:58,291 --> 00:30:01,791
Just think of the marketing opportunities
with me at the forefront.

625
00:30:01,875 --> 00:30:04,208
I don't know, maybe, "Still dry."

626
00:30:04,750 --> 00:30:06,250
Or just go classic,

627
00:30:06,333 --> 00:30:09,791
me on a billboard with your iconic slogan
ribboned beneath me,

628
00:30:09,875 --> 00:30:12,500
"Strong enough for a man,
but made for a woman."

629
00:30:14,208 --> 00:30:15,208
Oh, of course.

630
00:30:16,541 --> 00:30:17,875
Yeah. Thanks, Deb.

631
00:30:20,083 --> 00:30:22,583
I think
I just scored us a sponsor. [exclaiming]

632
00:30:22,666 --> 00:30:24,000
- Yeah! All right!
- [Diana] Whoo!

633
00:30:24,083 --> 00:30:26,291
So I got a lead on a navigator guy.

634
00:30:26,375 --> 00:30:28,809
- You show me a navigator...
- [Bonnie] He's in from Key West.

635
00:30:28,833 --> 00:30:31,434
- ...that isn't full of shit.
- [Bonnie] You can't drive the boat too.

636
00:30:31,458 --> 00:30:32,375
We need this guy.

637
00:30:32,458 --> 00:30:35,583
Everybody says he's great,
they call him the King of the Gulf.

638
00:30:36,125 --> 00:30:38,375
So, I invited him for lunch tomorrow,

639
00:30:38,458 --> 00:30:41,541
and I'm gonna order you
the fish tacos with the salsa on the side,

640
00:30:41,625 --> 00:30:44,500
and you're gonna be
your most charming self, aren't you?

641
00:30:46,958 --> 00:30:47,958
[Diana] Nice boat.

642
00:30:48,708 --> 00:30:50,333
[seagulls warbling]

643
00:30:50,875 --> 00:30:52,375
I designed her myself.

644
00:30:52,458 --> 00:30:56,875
I had to re-draw
the lines plans, like, 76 times.

645
00:30:57,833 --> 00:31:01,083
My wife thought I was freaking
out of my mind, but she's perfect.

646
00:31:01,791 --> 00:31:04,083
- Your wife or your boat?
- Both of 'em.

647
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,083
John Bartlett.

648
00:31:07,166 --> 00:31:09,708
I used to watch you
on the Wide World of Sports.

649
00:31:09,791 --> 00:31:10,958
Oh yeah?

650
00:31:11,041 --> 00:31:14,000
"Thrill of victory, agony of defeat,"
and all that shit?

651
00:31:14,083 --> 00:31:16,083
I need to see your navigation cabin.

652
00:31:18,458 --> 00:31:19,666
No problemo.

653
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,125
The Gulf Stream's a raging dick.

654
00:31:24,208 --> 00:31:27,458
It's basically a fast-moving river
in the middle of the ocean

655
00:31:27,541 --> 00:31:29,916
going east when you wanna go north.

656
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:34,041
- If you're not exceeding its speed...
- You're going backwards.

657
00:31:34,541 --> 00:31:35,541
Yes, I know.

658
00:31:35,625 --> 00:31:37,750
You are aware that I've tried this before?

659
00:31:37,833 --> 00:31:38,833
I sure am.

660
00:31:38,916 --> 00:31:41,625
Well, I don't need a primer
on the Gulf Stream, okay?

661
00:31:41,708 --> 00:31:44,833
What I need to know
is what qualifies you for this mission.

662
00:31:44,916 --> 00:31:47,476
- What's your pedigree?
- Wait... wait a minute. What... what is this?

663
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:49,083
Do you think I'm selling you here,

664
00:31:49,166 --> 00:31:51,416
or do you just have a hair
across your ass?

665
00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:54,250
My last navigator screwed me, okay?

666
00:31:54,333 --> 00:31:57,041
He had me slamming
into the surf for 14 hours straight.

667
00:31:57,125 --> 00:32:00,041
- I would've made it if he hadn't...
- [John] Well, that's on you.

668
00:32:00,125 --> 00:32:02,875
I looked him up,
your old navigator from '78.

669
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:07,458
America's Cup preppy asshole
who didn't know shit about the Straits.

670
00:32:07,541 --> 00:32:09,583
You can have
all the pedigree in the world,

671
00:32:09,666 --> 00:32:13,375
but if you haven't sailed here,
if you haven't put in your 10,000 hours,

672
00:32:13,458 --> 00:32:15,541
these counter-currents, these eddies,

673
00:32:15,625 --> 00:32:19,708
it's like getting a freaking horse trainer
to install your dishwasher.

674
00:32:19,791 --> 00:32:22,291
- That's poetic.
- Step outside with me for a minute.

675
00:32:23,916 --> 00:32:25,125
Stick out your tongue.

676
00:32:25,875 --> 00:32:27,083
Stick out your tongue.

677
00:32:27,166 --> 00:32:28,833
[dramatic music playing]

678
00:32:30,333 --> 00:32:31,458
[John] You taste that?

679
00:32:32,666 --> 00:32:34,416
- I don't know, salt?
- No.

680
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:38,208
Sand from the Sahara 7,000 miles away.

681
00:32:38,291 --> 00:32:39,875
That's what this wind'll do.

682
00:32:40,416 --> 00:32:43,250
What you wanna do
has never been done, right?

683
00:32:43,333 --> 00:32:45,625
The course must be exact.

684
00:32:45,708 --> 00:32:48,458
The axis of the stream
has to be calculated by someone

685
00:32:48,541 --> 00:32:50,261
who knows
what the hell they're dealing with

686
00:32:50,333 --> 00:32:53,375
so the stream will work for you,
not against you,

687
00:32:53,458 --> 00:32:55,250
recomputing every 15 minutes.

688
00:32:55,333 --> 00:32:57,750
You're off
a fraction of a degree to the east,

689
00:32:57,833 --> 00:33:01,416
you're headed to the Turks and Caicos,
a fraction to the west, Texas,

690
00:33:01,500 --> 00:33:04,000
or worse, you're spun into an eddy.

691
00:33:04,958 --> 00:33:07,125
So choose the wrong dude again. No biggie.

692
00:33:07,666 --> 00:33:09,625
It just might cost you your life.

693
00:33:10,208 --> 00:33:14,125
Well, thank you
for your interest in the position.

694
00:33:23,125 --> 00:33:24,791
- Bye.
- He'll do.

695
00:33:28,750 --> 00:33:31,208
[Bonnie] Hey... hey, wait.
Uh, what about lunch?

696
00:33:31,291 --> 00:33:32,583
- [John sighing]
- [Bonnie] Huh?

697
00:33:33,416 --> 00:33:35,041
[seagulls warbling]

698
00:33:35,125 --> 00:33:36,291
You got a beer?

699
00:33:36,833 --> 00:33:38,113
- [Bonnie] Yeah.
- I need a beer.

700
00:33:38,166 --> 00:33:41,708
[Bonnie] If anybody
in the world can do it, it's her. Come on.

701
00:33:42,291 --> 00:33:44,208
You must see it, like, a little bit.

702
00:33:44,291 --> 00:33:46,916
Otherwise,
you wouldn't be sitting here, right?

703
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,083
You brought me lunch.

704
00:33:48,166 --> 00:33:50,458
[laughing] Correct, I did.

705
00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:54,583
I'll be honest with you, Bonnie.
I don't know. I really don't.

706
00:33:54,666 --> 00:33:56,208
There's only a few days each year

707
00:33:56,291 --> 00:33:59,166
when the wind direction and the stream
will maybe let a swimmer cross.

708
00:33:59,250 --> 00:34:01,583
Maybe. It's a tiny window.

709
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:04,333
And even then, she may not make it.

710
00:34:04,916 --> 00:34:05,916
You know?

711
00:34:06,458 --> 00:34:10,000
Plus, your deal is all volunteer, no comp.

712
00:34:10,708 --> 00:34:13,500
We train for months
and may not even get a green light.

713
00:34:14,208 --> 00:34:15,708
[sighing] Yeah.

714
00:34:18,208 --> 00:34:20,125
Wanna know my favorite feeling ever?

715
00:34:21,083 --> 00:34:22,208
[John clearing throat]

716
00:34:22,291 --> 00:34:24,958
When I was...
when I was playing racquetball at my peak,

717
00:34:25,625 --> 00:34:26,833
and I was 30,

718
00:34:26,916 --> 00:34:29,756
and it was just me and the girls
just goofing off all around the country

719
00:34:29,833 --> 00:34:30,875
like brats,

720
00:34:31,375 --> 00:34:36,083
you know, and then... then it's...
it's game day and you get that rush,

721
00:34:36,166 --> 00:34:38,791
like, "I'm gonna win,
I'm gonna win," you know?

722
00:34:41,791 --> 00:34:45,125
I mean, the only way
that I'm gonna get that magic at this age

723
00:34:45,791 --> 00:34:46,791
is through her.

724
00:34:47,458 --> 00:34:51,083
How many more chances are we gonna get
to do heart-pumping shit, huh?

725
00:34:53,375 --> 00:34:54,750
So that's why you're here.

726
00:34:56,541 --> 00:34:58,916
Yeah, that and she needs me.

727
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,375
Don't ask me why.

728
00:35:00,458 --> 00:35:02,166
[Bonnie chuckling]

729
00:35:02,250 --> 00:35:05,750
And we really need you.
I promise you, it won't be boring.

730
00:35:06,416 --> 00:35:08,791
Some people say boring is underrated.

731
00:35:09,916 --> 00:35:11,916
Wild guess, you're not one of 'em.

732
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
[both chuckling]

733
00:35:21,625 --> 00:35:23,583
- [Bonnie] Yikes. Bad.
- [Diana wincing]

734
00:35:24,458 --> 00:35:27,416
[Bonnie] I'm gonna call around,
see what people are using.

735
00:35:28,916 --> 00:35:33,041
And, uh, you know, we got some good ideas
about how to keep you following the boat.

736
00:35:33,750 --> 00:35:36,083
How you feeling? Ready for the overnight?

737
00:35:37,375 --> 00:35:39,166
- Yeah. [wincing]
- Yeah.

738
00:35:39,250 --> 00:35:40,958
- Yes, yes.
- Well, you look great.

739
00:35:41,041 --> 00:35:44,458
Look, hardening up. How's that shoulder?
Still seizing up on you?

740
00:35:44,541 --> 00:35:45,875
It's... it's not too bad.

741
00:35:47,250 --> 00:35:48,875
How about... how about your mind?

742
00:35:49,625 --> 00:35:51,083
Like on the long swims?

743
00:35:51,791 --> 00:35:52,708
[Diana] It's good.

744
00:35:52,791 --> 00:35:55,500
I've got my playlist up to about 85 songs.

745
00:35:55,583 --> 00:35:57,500
Neil Young, Janis Joplin, The Beatles.

746
00:35:57,583 --> 00:36:02,083
If I sing "No Reply" 1,000 times in a row,
that's 9 hours and 45 minutes to the beat.

747
00:36:02,166 --> 00:36:03,486
I may need one more song, though,

748
00:36:03,541 --> 00:36:05,750
but it has to be
in 4/4 time to go with the stroke.

749
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:11,458
Also, just so you know,

750
00:36:12,541 --> 00:36:15,291
if you find yourself going someplace dark,

751
00:36:15,958 --> 00:36:18,541
you know, find yourself beating up
on yourself just...

752
00:36:18,625 --> 00:36:19,875
I said I'm fine.

753
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:22,000
Let me do that, okay?

754
00:36:23,166 --> 00:36:24,041
All right.

755
00:36:24,125 --> 00:36:25,416
[Diana groaning]

756
00:36:29,333 --> 00:36:30,333
Okay.

757
00:36:31,083 --> 00:36:33,291
{\an8}[seagulls warbling]

758
00:36:33,375 --> 00:36:36,000
{\an8}[Bonnie] Everybody, all right, listen up.

759
00:36:36,666 --> 00:36:38,250
So, 24-hour training swim.

760
00:36:38,333 --> 00:36:41,625
Uh, this is our lovely Dee,
she's our captain.

761
00:36:41,708 --> 00:36:44,958
When she's at the helm,
nobody talks to her. All right?

762
00:36:45,041 --> 00:36:47,000
[whispering] I've never heard
that woman speak,

763
00:36:47,083 --> 00:36:48,583
but she's the best in the biz.

764
00:36:48,666 --> 00:36:52,083
Same goes for the swimmer.
When in the water, no talking to her.

765
00:36:52,166 --> 00:36:54,541
No joking. Serious business.

766
00:36:54,625 --> 00:36:56,833
On our way, let's go.
You guys know each other.

767
00:36:56,916 --> 00:36:57,916
Hey, Dee.

768
00:36:58,333 --> 00:37:00,291
Yeah, the red light was Nico's idea.

769
00:37:00,375 --> 00:37:01,916
We can't train a spotlight on you.

770
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,083
That'd send
all kinds of creatures after you.

771
00:37:04,166 --> 00:37:06,166
But they don't like red.

772
00:37:06,666 --> 00:37:07,500
Wow.

773
00:37:07,583 --> 00:37:10,791
If we can't get something into her gut,
her body will start eating itself.

774
00:37:12,166 --> 00:37:16,375
So, feedings every 90 minutes,
but you never tell her what time it is.

775
00:37:17,166 --> 00:37:21,458
And, uh, you know,
try not to... to bump up against the ego.

776
00:37:21,958 --> 00:37:24,678
You know, don't yell at her.
She does not respond well to tough love.

777
00:37:25,625 --> 00:37:26,958
But don't baby her either.

778
00:37:27,041 --> 00:37:30,333
When she starts to hallucinate,
you go with it. Okay?

779
00:37:30,416 --> 00:37:31,666
Okay, let's show her.

780
00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:33,250
Oh, hey, check it out.

781
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,958
Bartlett made you a lane
so you can stay closer to the boat.

782
00:37:38,750 --> 00:37:40,416
- You did that?
- [John] I did.

783
00:37:40,916 --> 00:37:42,916
[dramatic music playing]

784
00:37:46,625 --> 00:37:48,625
[boat engine revving]

785
00:37:53,791 --> 00:37:56,250
[Diana] <i>The mind deteriorates
along with the body.</i>

786
00:37:56,333 --> 00:37:58,666
<i>When the body weakens
and the hallucinations start,</i>

787
00:37:58,750 --> 00:37:59,950
<i>it's like sensory deprivation.</i>

788
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,541
<i>I thought
that gulls were dive-bombing my calf</i>

789
00:38:02,625 --> 00:38:04,825
<i>and I thought there was blood
down the front of my face.</i>

790
00:38:04,875 --> 00:38:05,791
<i>I can barely see.</i>

791
00:38:05,875 --> 00:38:08,458
<i>The mental stress
that you go through is unbelievable,</i>

792
00:38:08,541 --> 00:38:09,708
<i>just about torture.</i>

793
00:38:09,791 --> 00:38:12,416
<i>I was vomiting
and I was losing all my strength and...</i>

794
00:38:12,500 --> 00:38:13,500
[Diana retching]

795
00:38:13,583 --> 00:38:15,583
[Diana counting indistinctly]

796
00:38:17,791 --> 00:38:20,291
[man] Can you read what it says
after Nyad?

797
00:38:20,375 --> 00:38:22,375
That is your name, Diana.

798
00:38:22,458 --> 00:38:24,250
<i>This is your destiny.</i>

799
00:38:24,333 --> 00:38:26,500
[indistinct radio chatter]

800
00:38:26,583 --> 00:38:29,791
[man] <i>So after your turn,
I wanna see you increase that stroke rate.</i>

801
00:38:29,875 --> 00:38:31,291
[Diana retching]

802
00:38:32,250 --> 00:38:33,291
Wait, what is that?

803
00:38:33,875 --> 00:38:35,541
Oh, uh...

804
00:38:35,625 --> 00:38:37,958
- What? Let me see.
- [Diana] I was just kidding.

805
00:38:42,291 --> 00:38:43,976
- [Coach Nelson chuckling]
- [Diana sighing]

806
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,500
[Diana retching, groaning]

807
00:38:47,583 --> 00:38:49,125
Why are you throwing up?

808
00:38:49,916 --> 00:38:51,750
Because... [groaning]

809
00:38:52,625 --> 00:38:56,083
...because I just swam for 24 hours.

810
00:38:56,166 --> 00:38:57,250
[Diana retching]

811
00:38:57,333 --> 00:38:59,708
Hey, visas came through.
We're cleared for Cuba.

812
00:38:59,791 --> 00:39:00,708
[Diana moaning]

813
00:39:00,791 --> 00:39:01,958
- Better?
- [Diana] Yeah.

814
00:39:02,041 --> 00:39:04,708
- All right. High-five.
- [Diana breathing heavily]

815
00:39:05,458 --> 00:39:06,583
[Sawyer] Finally tonight,

816
00:39:06,666 --> 00:39:09,333
someone who was a kind of hero
for so many of us,

817
00:39:09,416 --> 00:39:12,666
Diana Nyad, the incredible swimmer,

818
00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:16,375
is back and about to embark
on something we couldn't believe.

819
00:39:16,458 --> 00:39:20,541
[reporter] <i>...set her sights on conquering
a feat that has eluded her for 30 years.</i>

820
00:39:20,625 --> 00:39:23,625
[Diana in Spanish]
I hope to encourage unity

821
00:39:23,708 --> 00:39:28,250
and good relations
between our two countries.

822
00:39:28,333 --> 00:39:30,208
A connection.

823
00:39:31,791 --> 00:39:36,666
And I can't wait to set off
as soon as the weather allows.

824
00:39:37,625 --> 00:39:38,625
Thank you.

825
00:39:41,791 --> 00:39:44,708
- [indistinct chatter, laughing]
- [Latin jazz music playing]

826
00:39:44,791 --> 00:39:47,875
[John speaking indistinctly]

827
00:39:51,875 --> 00:39:52,915
[Diana] Uh, you know what?

828
00:39:53,458 --> 00:39:56,666
I... There's something
I wanna say to all of you.

829
00:39:56,750 --> 00:39:58,666
[music fades]

830
00:39:59,250 --> 00:40:02,416
[smacking lips]
As we await the signal from Mother Nature,

831
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:07,750
I signed a contract
with my soul to never, ever give up.

832
00:40:08,333 --> 00:40:10,375
You've all sacrificed a great deal.

833
00:40:11,041 --> 00:40:14,166
No money, no perks, no guarantees.

834
00:40:14,750 --> 00:40:18,625
But I can think of
no worthier cause for such sacrifice.

835
00:40:18,708 --> 00:40:21,500
My life's mission, dare I say my destiny,

836
00:40:21,583 --> 00:40:24,666
to fight
the wildly unpredictable conditions,

837
00:40:24,750 --> 00:40:26,333
to tangle with the elements.

838
00:40:26,416 --> 00:40:29,083
I will be the first Nyad.

839

I... I don't want you to burn out,

867

- I remortgaged my house for this...

Yeah, so did I.

875
00:42:05,291 --> 00:42:08,166
Well, then the correct response
would be "thank you."

876
00:42:08,833 --> 00:42:10,458
Oh, so you're just gonna leave?

877
00:42:10,541 --> 00:42:11,958
No, no, go ahead, fine.

878
00:42:12,041 --> 00:42:15,458
Okay. No, go ahead. It's okay.
Just go smoke a joint or something.

1014
00:49:52,875 --> 00:49:54,958
This is where we're supposed to be.

1015
00:49:55,041 --> 00:49:58,583
If we stop for more than three
or four minutes, the currents screw us.

1016

- We're getting pushed east.
- Toward freaking Africa.

1017
00:50:00,958 --> 00:50:03,166

can you slow the pace a little?

00:58:19,583 --> 00:58:20,916
- You hear me?
- [girls] Yes.

1177
00:58:21,500 --> 00:58:24,166
Panthers on three. One, two, three.

1178
00:58:24,250 --> 00:58:25,083
[all] Panthers!

1179
00:58:25,166 --> 00:58:27,526
- [crowd cheering]
- [Coach Nelson] Dig deep, Nyad. Come on!

1180
00:58:27,958 --> 00:58:29,500
Come on! Come on!

1181
00:58:30,416 --> 00:58:31,541
Come on, come on!

1182
00:58:32,041 --> 00:58:33,041
Come on, Nyad!

1183
00:58:33,625 --> 00:58:36,666
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! You did it!
- [crowd cheering]

1184
00:58:39,916 --> 00:58:41,583
- [Diana] No!
- [girls giggling]

1185
00:58:41,666 --> 00:58:42,916
Stop! No!

1186
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,000
[girls exclaiming]

1187
00:58:44,083 --> 00:58:46,083
[dramatic music playing]

1188
00:59:03,166 --> 00:59:05,166
[dramatic music swelling]

1189
00:59:27,375 --> 00:59:28,750
[suspenseful music playing]

1190
00:59:31,291 --> 00:59:32,916
[Diana screaming]

1191
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:35,166
[Diana] My face! My face!

1192
00:59:35,666 --> 00:59:36,708
Tentacles.

1193
00:59:36,791 --> 00:59:38,708
[Bonnie] Right!
Get... get her out of the water!

1194
00:59:38,791 --> 00:59:39,791
Right now!

1195
00:59:40,500 --> 00:59:42,166
- [Diana gasping]
- [Bonnie] Get her out!

1196
00:59:42,250 --> 00:59:43,500
Diana, stay there!

1197
00:59:47,375 --> 00:59:50,208
[suspenseful music swelling]

1198
00:59:56,708 --> 00:59:57,541
[music fades]

1199
00:59:57,625 --> 00:59:59,458
[dramatic music playing]

1200
00:59:59,541 --> 01:00:01,541
[indistinct chatter]

1201
01:00:02,416 --> 01:00:03,416
Hey, Nyad?

1202
01:00:05,125 --> 01:00:06,125
Nyad?

1203
01:00:07,416 --> 01:00:08,916
[Coach Nelson chuckling]

1204
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,000
If you wanna catch a nap,
guest room down the hall. Go ahead.

1205
01:00:24,583 --> 01:00:26,250
[tense music playing]

1206
01:00:29,625 --> 01:00:32,166
[Bonnie] What's going on? What's going on?

1207
01:00:32,250 --> 01:00:33,708
[Jon] Nothing. [panting]

1208
01:00:33,791 --> 01:00:35,958
[Bonnie] No. No, no, no, no, no.

1209
01:00:36,041 --> 01:00:37,750
Come on. Come on, Diana.

1210
01:00:37,833 --> 01:00:40,416
You can't... you can't do that now.
You gotta breathe.

1211
01:00:40,958 --> 01:00:42,125
<i>Come on, baby, breathe.</i>

1212
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:44,541
Breathe, you breathe deep.

1213
01:00:45,333 --> 01:00:47,853
I know you got another one in you.
Come on, give me another one.

1214
01:00:47,916 --> 01:00:49,083
Give me another breath.

1215
01:00:49,166 --> 01:00:50,583
[Bonnie breathing heavily]

1216
01:00:50,666 --> 01:00:53,666
[Bonnie] Come on.
Stop messing with me, Diana. Breathe, now.

1217
01:00:53,750 --> 01:00:54,791
[Diana gasping]

1218
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,166
What happened?
What happened? What happened?

1219
01:01:01,250 --> 01:01:04,958
Blow out. Blow out,
blow out, blow out, blow out.

1220
01:01:05,041 --> 01:01:07,333
Come on, blow out, blow out. Blow out!

1221
01:01:07,416 --> 01:01:09,125
Diana, blow out. Now, blow out.

1222
01:01:09,208 --> 01:01:10,208
[Diana exhaling]

1223
01:01:11,250 --> 01:01:13,083
Oh God.

1224
01:01:15,458 --> 01:01:16,875
Oh Jesus.

1225
01:01:16,958 --> 01:01:19,875
[John] Bonnie, Bonnie,
Bonnie, Bonnie, feel this.

1226
01:01:21,333 --> 01:01:23,375
Yeah. [panting]

1227
01:01:23,458 --> 01:01:25,125
She still thinks she's swimming.

1228
01:01:29,833 --> 01:01:31,458
[Bonnie chuckling]

1229
01:01:31,541 --> 01:01:33,291
[Bonnie] You still swimming, babe?

1230
01:01:33,958 --> 01:01:37,291
All right, all right, you keep swimming.

1231
01:01:38,916 --> 01:01:40,041
And keep breathing.

1232
01:01:45,791 --> 01:01:46,791
[Diana sniffling]

1233
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,125
[exhaling]

1234
01:02:05,625 --> 01:02:07,000
I should've pulled her out.

1235
01:02:07,916 --> 01:02:10,166
I should've said,
"That's it. No, we're done."

1236
01:02:16,041 --> 01:02:17,791
Why am I not allowed to say

1237
01:02:17,875 --> 01:02:22,625
that it pisses me off
to be felled by sea creatures,

1238
01:02:22,708 --> 01:02:25,291
to be rendered powerless
by stupid jellyfish?

1239
01:02:25,375 --> 01:02:26,583
It's just so beneath me.

1240
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,000
When you... when you say it's beneath you,

1241
01:02:31,583 --> 01:02:33,750
that is just demeaning to us.

1242
01:02:33,833 --> 01:02:37,333
To all of us. To me, to Bartlett,
Jon Rose, to Luke, to Dee.

1243
01:02:38,083 --> 01:02:40,125
- We worked hard, Diana.
- I know you did.

1244
01:02:40,208 --> 01:02:41,958
Yeah, and we were scared shitless.

1245
01:02:43,666 --> 01:02:46,083
- You've any idea what it was like for me?
- [Diana] I know.

1246
01:02:46,166 --> 01:02:47,625
No, no, you don't know.

1247
01:02:48,291 --> 01:02:50,125
I watched you die, Diana.

1248
01:02:51,208 --> 01:02:53,833
For 15 seconds, I thought you were dead.

1249
01:02:55,625 --> 01:02:58,958
All because I said okay to you again.

1250
01:02:59,458 --> 01:03:01,250
I said, "Oh yeah, okay, sure."

1251
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,500
I... I can't do that again. I can't.

1252
01:03:03,583 --> 01:03:05,916
Yeah, but I wasn't. I didn't. I'm here.

1253
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:10,083
I'm... I'm here,
I'm okay, and I'm not quitting.

1254
01:03:10,166 --> 01:03:11,166
Okay?

1255
01:03:11,250 --> 01:03:14,916
We have learned so much each time.
I've... I've learned about myself, too.

1256
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,041
Yeah, okay, what... what did you learn?

1257
01:03:17,125 --> 01:03:19,958
I don't wanna look back
and feel like I could've fought harder.

1258
01:03:20,041 --> 01:03:21,125
I hate that feeling.

1259
01:03:21,750 --> 01:03:23,166
[Bonnie] I know that. What else?

1260
01:03:23,250 --> 01:03:24,750
Look... look, one more time.

1261
01:03:24,833 --> 01:03:26,583
One more time. That's it.

1262
01:03:26,666 --> 01:03:29,250
We spend the next year training,

1263
01:03:29,875 --> 01:03:33,958
but also fixing the jellyfish problem.

1264
01:03:34,041 --> 01:03:38,666
I actually got a lead
on a box jellyfish expert.

1265
01:03:39,875 --> 01:03:42,583
How do you already have a lead
on a box jellyfish expert?

1266
01:03:43,208 --> 01:03:45,208
It's called the internet, Bonnie.

1267
01:03:46,541 --> 01:03:49,458
Look, she's a doctor.

1268
01:03:49,541 --> 01:03:52,083
She seems like a really cool lady.

1269
01:03:53,041 --> 01:03:56,750
Do you have any idea
how exhausting you are as a friend?

1270
01:03:58,333 --> 01:04:00,875
[woman] In the future,
never let them give her an Epi injection.

1271
01:04:00,958 --> 01:04:02,958
Box stings cause epinephrine to spike.

1272
01:04:03,041 --> 01:04:04,666
She's lucky she didn't overdose.

1273
01:04:05,916 --> 01:04:10,125
Uh, listen, I told her I was only going
if I could protect her from the box.

1274
01:04:10,208 --> 01:04:12,416
So, what do you think? Is this crazy?

1275
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:14,000
She can't get stung again.

1276
01:04:14,083 --> 01:04:16,958
You don't build up immunity to the venom.
It works in the opposite way.

1277
01:04:17,041 --> 01:04:19,666
- [Bonnie sighing]
- So there cannot be a next time.

1278
01:04:20,666 --> 01:04:23,416
The suit, I designed it expressly
for this purpose. It'll help.

1279
01:04:23,500 --> 01:04:26,250
But yeah, I'd say this is pretty crazy,

1280
01:04:26,333 --> 01:04:28,291
but it's also very punk rock.

1281
01:04:28,375 --> 01:04:30,208
[dramatic music playing]

1282
01:04:32,041 --> 01:04:34,000
Hello? Bonnie?

1283
01:04:34,083 --> 01:04:35,625
This is brutal.

1284
01:04:36,250 --> 01:04:38,333
Yeah. Well, we can't help you.

1285
01:04:38,416 --> 01:04:40,333
It's regulation.
You gotta put it on yourself.

1286
01:04:40,916 --> 01:04:42,166
Well, I can't do it.

1287
01:04:43,541 --> 01:04:44,541
Then don't.

1288
01:04:45,250 --> 01:04:46,375
But you will die.

1289
01:04:48,041 --> 01:04:51,750
[Diana] Listen, could you come with us?

1290
01:04:51,833 --> 01:04:53,750
It would be a great adventure.

1291
01:04:54,375 --> 01:04:56,934
[reporter] <i>Baumgartner says
he's not afraid of dying on this jump</i>

1292
01:04:56,958 --> 01:04:57,976
<i>'cause he's worked hard...</i>

1293
01:04:58,000 --> 01:04:59,000
[Bonnie] Woo-hoo!

1294

[reporter] <i>He's base jumped from...</i>

1295
01:05:00,666 --> 01:05:02,208
What's going on? What is it?

1296
01:05:02,291 --> 01:05:03,500
- Where's the remote?
- What?

1297
01:05:03,583 --> 01:05:05,851
- [reporter] <i>...and from the Christ the...</i>
- Check it out.

1298
01:05:05,875 --> 01:05:07,833
[woman] <i>It's the hardest swim
in the world today.</i>

1299
01:05:07,916 --> 01:05:10,000
<i>This is the ultimate
of ultramarathon swimming.</i>

1300
01:05:10,083 --> 01:05:11,958
Are you kidding me?

1301
01:05:12,041 --> 01:05:14,083
She's... she's... she's like the baby.

1302
01:05:14,166 --> 01:05:17,366
<i>...and this is like getting a world record
and a gold medal at the Olympic Games.</i>

1303
01:05:17,416 --> 01:05:19,166
<i>No, but it's possibly harder,</i>

1304
01:05:19,250 --> 01:05:21,583
<i>possibly because
no one's been able to do it.</i>

1305
01:05:21,666 --> 01:05:23,875
Yeah, we know no one's been able to do it.

1306
01:05:23,958 --> 01:05:27,541
- That's the whole damn point!
- Hey! Can you stop talking? I wanna hear.

1307
01:05:27,625 --> 01:05:30,375
[woman] <i>I will not wear a wetsuit,
I will not use a shark cage...</i>

1308
01:05:30,458 --> 01:05:32,583
I can't believe this.

1309
01:05:32,666 --> 01:05:36,750
This... this is my window.
She's stealing my swim!

1310
01:05:39,833 --> 01:05:42,166
That... No, that's what I'm gonna do.

1311
01:05:42,250 --> 01:05:45,000
God! Where's a box jellyfish
when you need one?

1312
01:05:45,083 --> 01:05:46,875
I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.

1313
01:05:46,958 --> 01:05:48,958
[birds chirping]

1314
01:05:50,208 --> 01:05:52,000
- It stopped.
- [dog panting]

1315
01:05:52,083 --> 01:05:53,750
Okay, her tracker stopped.

1316
01:05:54,541 --> 01:05:55,541
Where?

1317
01:05:55,875 --> 01:05:56,875
Where'd it stop?

1318
01:05:58,208 --> 01:05:59,875
- Right there.
- What?

1319
01:05:59,958 --> 01:06:02,250
Is it instrument failure? Or, wait.

1320
01:06:02,333 --> 01:06:03,708
- Wait...
- Did they pull her out?

1321
01:06:03,791 --> 01:06:05,833
Lookit, lookit, lookit. Wait a minute.

1322
01:06:06,708 --> 01:06:07,708
Remote.

Bonnie.

1337
01:06:38,750 --> 01:06:41,041
- What?
- We have got to go to Cuba, now.

1338
01:06:41,708 --> 01:06:43,708
All of my models say no, all right?

1339
01:06:43,791 --> 01:06:46,833
We've got the Atlantic gyre
stalled above the 17th parallel,

1340
01:06:46,916 --> 01:06:49,500
we've got storm systems
coming off the coast of Africa,

We'll have nothing but huge peaks
if we bump up against that damn east wind.

This is not our window.

- My models are good, I'm sorry.

of a full-tilt current?

Does that sound like fun to you?

1349

If we wait any longer,
the season will end. It will be too cold.

1350

You know we could go someplace else.
Guam is nice this time of year.

1354

- Guam?
- [John] What's wrong with Guam?

1355
01:07:23,583 --> 01:07:24,583
It's not Cuba!

1356
01:07:24,625 --> 01:07:27,125
[John] When are you gonna listen
to my expertise, Diana?

1357

Oh, that's right, you know everything.

1358
01:07:28,916 --> 01:07:31,916
No, you're the expert. Fine.
But I'm the CEO of the operation.

- The CEO?
- [Diana] We're going.

1360
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,541
- I'm not waiting a year in training again.
- It's too dangerous, Diana.

1361
01:07:37,625 --> 01:07:41,791
I pinged my weather guy in Atlanta,
and Greg says we are good to go.

1362

Oh, well, if Greg says so.
Who the hell is Greg?

1363

This isn't his call.

Yeah, you're right. It's not. It's mine.

[Bonnie sighing heavily]

1373
01:08:24,125 --> 01:08:26,041
Does she think
I don't wanna get out there?

1374
01:08:27,333 --> 01:08:29,583
Elke and I canceled
seven charters this month

1375
01:08:29,666 --> 01:08:30,833
so I could do this.

1376
01:08:32,208 --> 01:08:34,500
I'm trying to look out
for people's lives here.

Jesus, and, I mean, look at you.

1379

I've... I've watched you stand
on that transom

for 40 hours straight
peeing over the side of the boat

1381
01:08:43,916 --> 01:08:46,916
so you didn't have to leave her
for a second. Does she see that?

1382
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:48,791
Does she ever say thank you?

1383
01:08:48,875 --> 01:08:51,458
- She does, in her own way...
- She plays you like a fiddle.

1384

Hey. Look, you don't know.

1385
01:08:53,250 --> 01:08:55,500
- I mean, she and I, we...
- Oh, come on, Bonnie.

You put her over your own

this is about me, okay?

1511
01:15:08,166 --> 01:15:09,791
For once this is about me!

1512
01:15:11,333 --> 01:15:14,208
And... and you don't...
you don't... you don't even think of me.

1513
01:15:14,708 --> 01:15:16,892
You just... you just want me
to, like, tag along with you.

1514
01:15:16,916 --> 01:15:18,666
No, of course I think about you.

1515
01:15:18,750 --> 01:15:21,125
I know what you're capable of
better than you do.

1516
01:15:21,208 --> 01:15:23,541
Listen to yourself.
That is so patronizing. I can't...

1517
01:15:23,625 --> 01:15:27,041
Look, I know
that the world wants me to shut my mouth

1518
01:15:27,125 --> 01:15:29,708
and sit down and wait to die,

1519
01:15:29,791 --> 01:15:31,000
but I didn't think you did.

1520
01:15:31,083 --> 01:15:32,083
Stop.

1521
01:15:32,666 --> 01:15:33,750
I can't.

1522
01:15:34,250 --> 01:15:36,291
I won't. I will not accept defeat.

1523
01:15:39,375 --> 01:15:41,125
[dog barking]

1524
01:15:42,666 --> 01:15:43,666
Are you with me?

1525
01:15:49,291 --> 01:15:50,291
No.

1526
01:15:54,708 --> 01:15:55,708
[Diana exhaling]

1527
01:15:56,875 --> 01:15:57,875
[door closing]

1528
01:15:59,041 --> 01:16:01,041
[dramatic music playing]

1529
01:16:03,041 --> 01:16:04,208
[Diana panting]

1530
01:16:20,541 --> 01:16:23,958
{\an8}Yeah, but your coach.
Here you are, resting up to compete.

1531
01:16:24,041 --> 01:16:26,375
When your mind
and your body have to be in sync.

1532
01:16:26,458 --> 01:16:28,517
[Diana] <i>And you think I swam well
in the state meets?</i>

1533
01:16:28,541 --> 01:16:31,083
<i>He would say, you know,
"You can't tell anyone about this."</i>

1534
01:16:31,166 --> 01:16:32,541
<i>"First, it's so special."</i>

1535
01:16:32,625 --> 01:16:36,250
<i>"We have something so special,
so you can't tell anybody."</i>

1536
01:16:36,333 --> 01:16:37,583
<i>"No one will understand."</i>

1537
01:16:37,666 --> 01:16:42,125
<i>"You'll be kicked out of school
and you'll never be the Olympic swimmer</i>

1538
01:16:42,208 --> 01:16:43,625
<i>because you'll lose me."</i>

1539
01:16:43,708 --> 01:16:45,791
<i>"You're a little girl
and you don't understand,</i>

1540
01:16:45,875 --> 01:16:48,541
but I'm a man and I need this
and someday you'll understand."

1541
01:16:48,625 --> 01:16:50,333
[inaudible]

1542
01:16:50,416 --> 01:16:52,416
[birds chirping]

1543
01:16:54,583 --> 01:16:56,250
[Diana] Attempt number four.

1544
01:16:57,375 --> 01:17:00,583
Here I am at the launch, nerves screaming.

1545
01:17:00,666 --> 01:17:04,208
No idea what lies ahead of me
but resolved by sheer will,

1546
01:17:05,083 --> 01:17:07,625
compelled by the power
of the human spirit.

1547
01:17:10,291 --> 01:17:11,291
Courage.

1548
01:17:15,416 --> 01:17:17,958
Uh, this is Bonnie, my coach.

1549
01:17:18,458 --> 01:17:20,458
[Diana's breath shuddering]

1550
01:17:21,625 --> 01:17:26,333
She is in charge of making sure
that I get my calories and electrolytes.

1551
01:17:30,583 --> 01:17:31,708
Bonnie again.

1552
01:17:33,958 --> 01:17:34,958
Uh...

1553
01:17:37,708 --> 01:17:41,000
You... you don't leave room
for imagining defeat.

1554
01:17:41,083 --> 01:17:42,625
You really do believe

1555
01:17:42,708 --> 01:17:45,291
that you're going to make it
every single time,

1556
01:17:46,958 --> 01:17:47,958
but...

1557
01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:51,375
Um, I mean,

1558
01:17:52,250 --> 01:17:54,000
four tries and four failures.

1559
01:18:01,083 --> 01:18:02,583
[elevator chiming]

1560
01:18:06,500 --> 01:18:07,500
Okay.

1561
01:18:11,958 --> 01:18:12,958
Oh.

1562
01:18:13,333 --> 01:18:15,333
[indistinct chatter]

1563
01:18:15,416 --> 01:18:17,958
Oh come on, Nyad, stupid bitch.

1564
01:18:21,583 --> 01:18:23,583
[couple chatting indistinctly]

1565
01:18:26,916 --> 01:18:28,250
[cell phone vibrating]

1566
01:18:30,750 --> 01:18:31,833
[John sighing]

1567
01:18:37,291 --> 01:18:38,291
Yep?

1568
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,875
Uh, are you still mad at me?

1569
01:18:40,958 --> 01:18:43,958
Because I am so sorry.

1570
01:18:45,083 --> 01:18:47,125
Some of the things I said,

1571
01:18:47,208 --> 01:18:52,375
and my attitude,
was... it... out of proportion.

1572
01:18:53,750 --> 01:18:54,750
Thank you.

1573
01:18:56,291 --> 01:18:57,708
And no, I'm not mad.

1574
01:18:59,375 --> 01:19:02,916
But if you're asking me to go again,
I... I... I just can't.

1575
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,541
You know, I... I got shit going on.

1576
01:19:08,791 --> 01:19:11,958
<i>Mortgage to pay, you know?
I gotta get back to work, you know?</i>

1577
01:19:13,166 --> 01:19:16,250
Life catches up at some point.

1578
01:19:16,791 --> 01:19:18,375
Yeah, no, I understand.

1579
01:19:20,458 --> 01:19:22,375
Maybe it just can't be done, you know?

1580
01:19:22,458 --> 01:19:23,750
What, I'm... [sighing]

1581
01:19:24,666 --> 01:19:26,166
I'm just supposed to accept

1582
01:19:26,250 --> 01:19:30,250
everyone's denigrating
and mediocre standards of what's possible?

1583
01:19:30,333 --> 01:19:31,416
[John chuckling]

1584
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:33,750
Bonnie's done with me, too.

1585
01:19:34,333 --> 01:19:36,708
Oh, cut the shit, Bonnie loves you.

1586
01:19:36,791 --> 01:19:37,875
You two are family.

1587
01:19:39,958 --> 01:19:43,375
You know, it's not
that I don't know that I'm this way,

1588
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:46,500
that... that I'm so...

1589
01:19:47,208 --> 01:19:48,208
Radical?

1590
01:19:48,750 --> 01:19:50,500
That's a nice way to say it.

1591
01:19:50,583 --> 01:19:51,708
[John chuckling]

1592
01:19:52,333 --> 01:19:53,750
Why is it so hard?

1593
01:19:53,833 --> 01:19:57,000
Yeah, why is it so hard
to be a person?

1594
01:19:57,083 --> 01:19:59,166
[Diana laughing]

1595
01:19:59,250 --> 01:20:02,291
You know,
there was nothing like that feeling,

1596
01:20:03,750 --> 01:20:06,708
being out there on those days
when we were just jamming

1597
01:20:06,791 --> 01:20:09,791
<i>and... and you were going strong</i>

1598
01:20:10,333 --> 01:20:12,208
and the dolphins were following you,

1599
01:20:13,333 --> 01:20:17,000
and... and me and Bonnie and the team
were super in sync thinking,

1600
01:20:17,083 --> 01:20:20,041
"Hell yeah, we... we can do this.
We... we can pull this off."

1601
01:20:20,125 --> 01:20:23,541
This... this crazy thing we all believed in.

1602
01:20:23,625 --> 01:20:26,041
That high.

1603
01:20:28,666 --> 01:20:31,000
Yeah, that...
that was some good shit, right?

1604
01:20:31,083 --> 01:20:35,000
Yeah, no, I...
I never saw that, but I felt it.

1605
01:20:35,083 --> 01:20:36,333
Oh, that's true.

1606
01:20:36,416 --> 01:20:39,291
- You know, you... you were underwater.
- [Diana] <i>Yeah.</i>

1607
01:20:39,375 --> 01:20:42,375
Singing to myself in the dark. [chuckling]

1608
01:20:42,458 --> 01:20:43,458
[John chuckling]

1609
01:20:44,125 --> 01:20:45,833
Kind of badass, Diana.

1610
01:20:45,916 --> 01:20:47,041
<i>Very much so.</i>

1611
01:20:47,541 --> 01:20:48,541
[Diana sighing]

1612
01:20:52,625 --> 01:20:55,833
Well, uh, I... I... I... I'd better...

1613
01:20:55,916 --> 01:20:58,083
No, no, yeah, yeah, of course.

1614
01:20:59,375 --> 01:21:00,583
Goodnight, John.

1615
01:21:00,666 --> 01:21:01,833
Goodnight, Diana.

1616
01:21:09,416 --> 01:21:11,416
[birds chirping]

1617
01:21:13,166 --> 01:21:14,208
[car door closing]

1618
01:21:16,708 --> 01:21:18,208
[Diana] I've been calling.

1619
01:21:18,291 --> 01:21:19,458
- I left messages.
- Oh.

1620
01:21:20,541 --> 01:21:23,375
Diana, I just...
I... I don't wanna get into this again.

1621
01:21:23,458 --> 01:21:24,833
No, no, I know.

1622
01:21:26,083 --> 01:21:29,083
I just wanted to see you, talk to you.

1623
01:21:33,750 --> 01:21:34,750
[softly] Fine.

1624
01:21:38,625 --> 01:21:40,000
[Bonnie sighing]

1625
01:21:41,791 --> 01:21:45,125
I read in the paper
that, uh, Jack Nelson died.

1626
01:21:45,625 --> 01:21:46,625
Yeah.

1627
01:21:47,250 --> 01:21:48,541
I thought you'd call me.

1628
01:21:50,958 --> 01:21:52,416
Well, good riddance.

1629
01:21:55,083 --> 01:21:56,583
I hate victim shit.

1630
01:21:56,666 --> 01:21:57,666
I know you do.

1631
01:21:59,041 --> 01:22:00,875
Yeah, he's still
in the Swimming Hall of Fame

1632
01:22:00,958 --> 01:22:02,833
even after all of us came forward,

1633
01:22:02,916 --> 01:22:05,166
said we were abused by him,
said it in public.

1634
01:22:05,250 --> 01:22:06,625
Can you believe that?

1635
01:22:06,708 --> 01:22:07,708
God!

1636
01:22:08,125 --> 01:22:09,416
[Bonnie seething]

1637
01:22:09,500 --> 01:22:12,083
I... I... I wish I could've killed him myself.

1638
01:22:12,708 --> 01:22:14,416
- And I would have, too.
- Yeah?

1639
01:22:14,500 --> 01:22:16,208
- Yeah.
- How would you have done it?

1640
01:22:17,166 --> 01:22:18,000
[exhaling]

1641
01:22:18,083 --> 01:22:19,250
Chop his dick off.

1642
01:22:19,333 --> 01:22:20,333
Oh.

1643
01:22:20,875 --> 01:22:24,458
Dull knife, granite cutting board.
Just let him bleed to death.

1644
01:22:25,375 --> 01:22:26,375
Why granite?

1645
01:22:27,125 --> 01:22:29,083
I don't know,
that's just how I pictured it.

1646
01:22:30,250 --> 01:22:33,250
Yeah. Well, he didn't damage me,
he didn't throw me off course.

1647
01:22:33,333 --> 01:22:35,166
I'm good, I'm fine.

1648
01:22:35,250 --> 01:22:39,708
But then there are moments
when it's like I'm 14 again and...

1649
01:22:41,500 --> 01:22:45,791
it's... it's like his voice
is coming out of me,

1650
01:22:45,875 --> 01:22:49,041
and I get so mad at myself.

1651
01:22:49,916 --> 01:22:52,416
[voice breaking]
I mean, why didn't I fight harder?

1652
01:22:53,875 --> 01:22:55,000
I was a force.

1653
01:22:55,083 --> 01:22:57,666
Oh baby, baby, you know...
you know it doesn't work like that.

1654
01:22:57,750 --> 01:22:58,750
You know that.

1655
01:22:59,416 --> 01:23:01,000
I do. I do know that.

1656
01:23:01,833 --> 01:23:02,833
It's just, I...

1657
01:23:03,791 --> 01:23:04,791
I mean, I...

1658
01:23:05,791 --> 01:23:06,791
[Diana exhaling]

1659
01:23:07,500 --> 01:23:09,416
He was so nice to me.

1660
01:23:09,916 --> 01:23:11,583
I mean, at first, you know.

1661
01:23:13,125 --> 01:23:17,458
I... I wrote "I love Coach Nelson"
on my notebook,

1662
01:23:18,583 --> 01:23:20,916
and he saw that I...

1663
01:23:22,583 --> 01:23:23,833
[Diana crying softly]

1664
01:23:25,583 --> 01:23:28,500
You know?
Oh God, I never told anybody that.

1665
01:23:29,083 --> 01:23:30,083
Hey.

1666
01:23:32,291 --> 01:23:33,375
[Diana sobbing]

1667
01:23:33,458 --> 01:23:34,833
You are a force.

1668
01:23:36,333 --> 01:23:39,583
Swim or no swim, you are a force.

1669
01:23:40,416 --> 01:23:41,416
Know that.

1670
01:23:43,500 --> 01:23:45,083
[sniffling] I know.

1671
01:23:46,791 --> 01:23:48,833
And I, um... I'm not gonna stop.

1672
01:23:50,791 --> 01:23:52,625
I'm free to keep trying.

1673
01:23:53,250 --> 01:23:54,750
[Bonnie] Yeah, you are, Diana.

1674
01:23:56,416 --> 01:23:57,541
[Diana] So, I'm gonna...

1675
01:23:59,250 --> 01:24:01,375
train and crew up,

1676
01:24:01,458 --> 01:24:04,583
and, uh, see you when I get back.

1677
01:24:04,666 --> 01:24:06,875
- We'll have dinner or something.
- [Bonnie] Sure.

1678
01:24:06,958 --> 01:24:07,958
Okay.

1679
01:24:08,625 --> 01:24:10,750
You know I'm always rooting for you.

1680
01:24:12,500 --> 01:24:13,583
Team Nyad.

1681
01:24:13,666 --> 01:24:15,666
[dramatic music playing]

1682
01:24:26,333 --> 01:24:30,208
