00:13:08,750 --> 00:13:09,999
What's so funny?
182
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,583
For girls? There's no such thing.
183
00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:15,750
[laughing]
184
00:13:18,875 --> 00:13:19,875
[laughing continues]
185
00:13:21,125 --> 00:13:23,666
[shouting in distance]
186
00:13:25,333 --> 00:13:26,500
[chuckles]
187
00:13:30,833 --> 00:13:33,208
[woman, echoing]
That's right. Strong arms.
188
00:13:33,209 --> 00:13:35,083
Come on, Ruth. Kick those feet.
189
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,582
Good.
190
00:13:37,583 --> 00:13:42,708
Arms and legs kick together
at 28 beats per minute. Not 26, not 27.
191
00:13:46,708 --> 00:13:48,250
[gasps]
192
00:13:49,041 --> 00:13:51,666
- What are they doing?
- I have no idea.
193
00:13:51,667 --> 00:13:53,250
Twenty-eight beat American crawl,
194
00:13:54,083 --> 00:13:56,791
a stroke invented by Louis J. Handley,
fastest stroke there is.
195
00:13:56,792 --> 00:13:58,125
Is Mr. Handley here?
196
00:13:58,958 --> 00:14:00,957
- I wish to speak to him about my girls.
- [chuckles]
197
00:14:00,958 --> 00:14:02,958
Ah, you wanna speak to the boss?
The man in charge?
198
00:14:02,959 --> 00:14:04,165
Yes.
199
00:14:04,166 --> 00:14:07,500
You know most men believe that
women who exercise will harm themselves?
200
00:14:07,501 --> 00:14:10,958
That we're too weak to run, swim, compete?
201
00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:13,124
That our hearts will explode?
202
00:14:13,125 --> 00:14:16,437
And yet in nature,
it's the lioness who hunts,
203
00:14:16,438 --> 00:14:19,750
while the lions sit around
on their big asses.
204
00:14:19,751 --> 00:14:23,291
And it's the queen bee who rules the hive.
205
00:14:24,083 --> 00:14:25,833
See my point?
206
00:14:26,625 --> 00:14:28,375
I'm Charlotte Epstein. This is my team.
207
00:14:31,291 --> 00:14:32,500
Call me Eppy.
208
00:14:34,166 --> 00:14:38,083
And this is Meg and Trudy.
They won a free hot dog.
209
00:14:46,958 --> 00:14:47,957
[girls giggling]
210
00:14:47,958 --> 00:14:49,758
I can take the older one.
She's got potential.
211
00:14:50,458 --> 00:14:51,624
And Trudy?
212
00:14:51,625 --> 00:14:53,958
She swims like a horse
with two broken legs.
213
00:14:53,959 --> 00:14:55,624
Quite possibly three.
214
00:14:55,625 --> 00:14:57,874
You see the way she fights the water?
215
00:14:57,875 --> 00:15:00,333
- [girls giggling, chattering]
- We call that drowning.
216
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:04,457
Trudy is very strong and has no fear.
217
00:15:04,458 --> 00:15:07,791
She swims alone in the ocean,
goes as far as the boys.
218
00:15:07,792 --> 00:15:09,958
Feet! Kick your feet, child.
219
00:15:10,583 --> 00:15:12,457
[panting]
220
00:15:12,458 --> 00:15:14,708
She's a good girl,
will do exactly what you say.
221
00:15:14,709 --> 00:15:16,625
She wants to be like her sister.
222
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,624
Part of my agreement here
is to feed the boiler.
223
00:15:22,625 --> 00:15:26,250
You have to keep it running all day.
Bring in coal for the stoker.
224
00:15:27,333 --> 00:15:29,082
Sixty-pound bags.
225
00:15:29,083 --> 00:15:32,125
If Trudy helps out,
she can practice in the pool after hours.
226
00:15:32,750 --> 00:15:34,125
Trudy will help with the furnace.
227
00:15:35,375 --> 00:15:36,540
[hands clasp]
228
00:15:36,541 --> 00:15:40,083
Congratulations, your girls just joined
the Women's Swimming Association.
229
00:15:40,084 --> 00:15:42,833
That'll be two dollars a week.
Will that be a problem?
230
00:15:42,834 --> 00:15:44,416
No.
231
00:15:45,250 --> 00:15:46,250
[Henry] Absolutely not.
232
00:15:47,583 --> 00:15:51,291
Two dollars to swim? Swimming is free.
233
00:15:52,083 --> 00:15:54,583
I am saving money to buy a telephone.
234
00:15:55,541 --> 00:15:57,125
- A telephone?
- Mm-hmm.
235
00:15:57,126 --> 00:15:58,208
For what reason?
236
00:15:58,833 --> 00:16:00,875
I'm not sure, but I want one.
237
00:16:01,875 --> 00:16:02,875
I see.
238
00:16:08,125 --> 00:16:09,166
What are you doing?
239
00:16:10,416 --> 00:16:14,333
If you won't pay, I will.
240
00:16:15,750 --> 00:16:16,750
What about dinner?
241
00:16:17,541 --> 00:16:19,333
I'm not hungry. Thank you.
242
00:16:23,833 --> 00:16:26,333

243
00:16:28,916 --> 00:16:30,708

[Eppy]
All right. Let's go. Let's keep it up!
246
00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:48,208
Reach, Meg. Keep reaching.
247
00:16:49,083 --> 00:16:51,165
[girls cheer]
248
00:16:51,166 --> 00:16:54,375

- [Eppy] Okay, ladies. Over here.

Trudy. Oh, you got
a little dirt on your chin.
255
00:17:25,708 --> 00:17:28,625
Why don't you run to the corner
and buy us a sinker?
256
00:17:29,125 --> 00:17:32,791
We said, go to the corner, and get us
a doughnut. You hear us, boiler girl?
257
00:17:32,792 --> 00:17:34,124
- [laughs]
- Hey!
258
00:17:34,125 --> 00:17:35,457
Leave her alone.
259
00:17:35,458 --> 00:17:36,957
What? She needs you to fight?
260
00:17:36,958 --> 00:17:40,000
Trudy beat measles.
You goons wouldn't stand a chance.
261
00:17:40,001 --> 00:17:41,791
Back in the water, girls.
262
00:17:42,791 --> 00:17:44,166
[chuckling]
263
00:17:46,791 --> 00:17:47,790
You had measles?
264
00:17:47,791 --> 00:17:50,832
[grunts]
It went to my ears, but I hear just fine.
265
00:17:50,833 --> 00:17:52,916
They tell you not to go in the water?
That you could go deaf?
266
00:17:52,917 --> 00:17:55,666
Oh, yeah.
They told me. But it won't stop me.
267
00:17:56,541 --> 00:17:59,125
Go home, Trudy.
The other girls laugh at you.
268
00:17:59,126 --> 00:18:00,562
Why don't you fight back?
269
00:18:00,563 --> 00:18:02,000
You won't let me in the pool.

All right. Listen up.

We're gonna start something new.
273
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:20,791
Every day, you'll race each other.

Now, remember, these graceful birds
have all been trained by professionals,

00:21:32,251 --> 00:21:35,500
which is why we are allowing them
in the men's pool. [chuckles]

It's my job to protect you

To make sure there is no contact
with the male athletes.
520
00:33:58,750 --> 00:34:02,625
To that end, you won't leave your rooms
without alerting your escorts.

- Escorts?
- Nuns.

They'll be standing guard

I expect all of you to memorize

Also, women should only swim

00:34:27,917 --> 00:34:30,000
Did you ever make it across, Mr. Wolffe?
530
00:34:34,708 --> 00:34:35,875
One day I will.
531
00:34:38,375 --> 00:34:39,958
[chattering]
532
00:35:13,708 --> 00:35:16,791
Come on! Let's go! Go! Fifty more!
533
00:35:16,792 --> 00:35:18,791
Got 20 more seconds to go!
534
00:35:28,458 --> 00:35:30,875

535
00:35:35,958 --> 00:35:38,166

536

[groans]
537
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,041
- [girl] Mr. Wolffe, it's been over a week.
- Oh, geez.
538
00:35:45,042 --> 00:35:46,333
We need to train.
539
00:35:47,208 --> 00:35:49,332
Back to your rooms, girls.
I'm not feeling well.
540
00:35:49,333 --> 00:35:53,291
The men swim in the tub all day.
They run laps on deck, lift dumbbells.
541
00:35:54,166 --> 00:35:56,665
My responsibility to keep you safe.
542
00:35:56,666 --> 00:36:00,333
There are 300 men on this ship,
another 50 on the crew.
543
00:36:00,334 --> 00:36:02,415
And some of them are Norwegian.
544
00:36:02,416 --> 00:36:05,645
Our cabins are
next to the engine rooms. We can't sleep.
545
00:36:05,646 --> 00:36:08,874
And they bring us nothing
but bread and cheese twice a day.
546
00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:12,708
I'll let you walk the deck a few times
when the men are eating in the ballroom.
547
00:36:12,709 --> 00:36:15,333
What about Paris?
Do we get to train there?
548
00:36:15,334 --> 00:36:17,958
You'll get your chance
when the gun sounds.
549
00:36:19,958 --> 00:36:23,125

554
00:36:53,083 --> 00:36:54,082

555
00:36:54,083 --> 00:36:59,750
Gold medal for Bauer.
Silver, Kellerman. Bronze for Ederle.
556
00:37:04,375 --> 00:37:10,375

for Stromburg. Bronze for Gilmore.

[on radio] This is Harry Horlick with
a report from the Olympic Games in Paris.
559
00:37:25,709 --> 00:37:27,749
American champion Johnny Weissmuller
560
00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:30,332
won his third gold medal
for the United States
561
00:37:30,333 --> 00:37:32,250
- on the last day of competition.
- What about Trudy?
562
00:37:32,251 --> 00:37:35,583
A hero for the ages is coming home.
563
00:37:49,333 --> 00:37:51,375
[chattering]
564
00:37:55,458 --> 00:37:58,375
[reporter 1] Camera rolling, please.
Ready for when Johnny comes out.
565
00:38:00,375 --> 00:38:02,916
- [reporter 2] Johnny!
- [crowd cheering]
566
00:38:02,917 --> 00:38:04,165
[reporter 2] Johnny!
567
00:38:04,166 --> 00:38:06,966
- [reporter 1] Give us a wave!
- [reporter 3] Big smile for the camera!
568
00:38:19,583 --> 00:38:20,666
[grunts]
569
00:38:31,458 --> 00:38:33,666
Mom made Berliner with jam for you.
570
00:38:38,166 --> 00:38:39,707
When will you race again?
571
00:38:39,708 --> 00:38:41,875
They say they won't let women swim again.
572
00:38:43,041 --> 00:38:45,790
No more funding. No more trainers.
573
00:38:45,791 --> 00:38:50,166
It's over. From now on, I work downstairs.
574
00:38:50,833 --> 00:38:53,166
So you'll be here for Meg's wedding?
575
00:38:55,166 --> 00:38:56,208
What did you say?
576
00:38:56,209 --> 00:38:58,541
[chattering]
577
00:39:09,708 --> 00:39:11,625
How could you get engaged and not tell me?
578
00:39:12,375 --> 00:39:14,583
You were gone. It happened so fast.
579
00:39:16,791 --> 00:39:19,000
I want you to be my maid of honor, Trudy.
580
00:39:19,958 --> 00:39:21,582
[laughs] How did you convince them?
581
00:39:21,583 --> 00:39:24,708
Suddenly nobody cares that
you're about to be Meg Anderson?
582
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,416
Anderson?
583
00:39:30,791 --> 00:39:31,791
They didn't tell you?
584
00:39:33,916 --> 00:39:36,208
It's not Anderson. It's Durshley.
585
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:39,083
I'm marrying Karl Durshley.
586
00:39:39,791 --> 00:39:40,791
The butcher?
587
00:39:42,750 --> 00:39:45,750
You need to call it off.
Tell them you changed your mind.
588
00:39:45,751 --> 00:39:47,874
I have to marry Karl.
589
00:39:47,875 --> 00:39:49,291
That was part of the deal.
590
00:39:49,292 --> 00:39:50,540
Part of the deal?
591
00:39:50,541 --> 00:39:52,416
It's the reason he came to America.
592
00:39:52,417 --> 00:39:53,790
You're not part of any deal.
593
00:39:53,791 --> 00:39:56,250
What do you think happens
to girls around here?
594
00:39:59,125 --> 00:40:01,083
What do you think will happen to you?
595
00:40:01,583 --> 00:40:03,833
Your future, it's already been decided.
596
00:40:07,125 --> 00:40:09,541
[whispering]
Dad put all of my trophies in a box.
597
00:40:11,166 --> 00:40:12,500
You'll be okay.
598
00:40:13,750 --> 00:40:15,708
- I promise...
- Maybe if I'd have won...
599
00:40:15,709 --> 00:40:17,625
None of it matters, Trudy.
600
00:40:19,333 --> 00:40:22,666
Do you think people around here
care if you win or lose?
601
00:40:23,416 --> 00:40:26,750
Two girls from the butcher's shop?
We can't win.
602
00:40:27,791 --> 00:40:28,915
People, th...
603
00:40:28,916 --> 00:40:31,000
They don't want us to be heroes.
604
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:34,750
They don't want us to be anything.
605
00:40:36,083 --> 00:40:39,375
[crying] I'm sorry, Trudy. I tried.
606
00:40:40,958 --> 00:40:41,958
[Meg cries softly]
607
00:40:42,958 --> 00:40:44,291
My hero was you.
608
00:40:47,500 --> 00:40:48,833
[breathing shakily]
609
00:40:52,791 --> 00:40:54,541
[Trudy crying softly]
610
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,416
Bare legs are not allowed, ladies.
611
00:41:19,417 --> 00:41:20,500
- [yelps]
- Let's go.
612
00:41:20,501 --> 00:41:21,666
Let's go.
613
00:41:29,125 --> 00:41:32,041
[children laughing, shouting]
614
00:41:53,958 --> 00:41:56,375
[softly] Look, it's Trudy. It's her.
615
00:41:57,875 --> 00:42:00,375
Excuse me, miss? Are you Trudy?
616
00:42:00,958 --> 00:42:01,999
Yes.
617
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,458
I just wanted to say that
because of you, they let me swim.
618
00:42:11,958 --> 00:42:13,040
Are you fast?
619
00:42:13,041 --> 00:42:17,791
I once beat my brother in a race,
but he says it never happened.
620
00:42:17,792 --> 00:42:18,916
That it's impossible.
621
00:42:19,833 --> 00:42:22,541
But it did happen, didn't it?
The impossible.
622
00:42:23,166 --> 00:42:24,540
Sure did.
623
00:42:24,541 --> 00:42:26,916
One day, I wanna be just like you.
624
00:42:29,541 --> 00:42:32,000
- [friend] You really got to speak to her!
- [fan] She's my hero.
625
00:42:32,001 --> 00:42:33,583
[children giggle]
626
00:42:42,916 --> 00:42:47,207
Today, the Coney Island
Vaudeville Extravaganza
627
00:42:47,208 --> 00:42:52,250
presents a swimming exhibition
from Englishman Bill Burgess!
628
00:42:53,166 --> 00:42:55,916
- [Burgess] Get off me!
- [barker] Only the second man to conquer
629
00:42:55,917 --> 00:42:59,291
the treacherous waters
of the English Channel.
630
00:43:00,291 --> 00:43:02,749
That water of the Channel
is close to frozen,
631
00:43:02,750 --> 00:43:06,375
currents strong enough
to throw a steamer against the rocks!
632
00:43:06,376 --> 00:43:10,291
So welcome a true living legend
as he comes to shore!
633
00:43:10,875 --> 00:43:16,708
For only a penny, you can shake the hand
of the greatest swimmer on Earth,
634
00:43:16,709 --> 00:43:20,791
Bill Burgess!
635
00:43:21,291 --> 00:43:23,291
- [gasping, screaming]
- [person] Hey, Bill!
636
00:43:24,166 --> 00:43:26,625
- [women screaming]

637
00:43:28,750 --> 00:43:30,624
That man is naked.
638
00:43:30,625 --> 00:43:33,625
[barker] Uh, nobody panic! Nobody panic!
639
00:43:33,626 --> 00:43:38,708
Ladies and gentlemen of America!
640
00:43:39,458 --> 00:43:42,041
[women screaming]
641
00:43:42,042 --> 00:43:44,624

- Thank you. Thank you.

- All right, that's it. Let's go.
- [laughs] No! Hey!
649
00:44:01,708 --> 00:44:04,458
Hey, what are you doing?
Hey, I want me bloody money!
650
00:44:04,459 --> 00:44:06,125
I'm not going... I want me money!
651
00:44:06,875 --> 00:44:10,500
Give me me money!
I've... I've signed a contract!

How far is it across?
657
00:45:28,291 --> 00:45:30,208
Meg, it's your wedding day.
658

How far is it from France to England?
659
00:45:32,625 --> 00:45:34,208
[chuckling] You don't know your onions.
660
00:45:34,209 --> 00:45:36,416
I know you've thought about it.
661
00:45:36,417 --> 00:45:38,625
Doesn't matter. We can't win.
662
00:45:40,458 --> 00:45:42,250
Well, we won free hot dogs.
663
00:45:42,958 --> 00:45:45,291
And in case you forgot...
[sighs]...there were onions.
664

Do you think I could do it?

Do you think I can?

- [chuckling] Did you just curse?
- [chuckles] No.

You said ass. [laughs]

00:46:09,916 --> 00:46:10,916
Hmm.

Do you think it's possible?

00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:53,000
I asked to coach the women's Olympic team.
They told me I could be chaperone.
683
00:46:54,333 --> 00:46:57,083
- They're not ready for us.
- What if I'm ready?

00:46:58,416 --> 00:47:02,041
You know what'll happen when you fail?
When you get hurt?
685
00:47:03,083 --> 00:47:07,500
They'll use that failure to shut us down,
to kick every girl out of my pool.
686
00:47:07,501 --> 00:47:10,208
And what if I make it? What then?

00:48:12,751 --> 00:48:15,124
I voted against women
competing in the Olympics.
703
00:48:15,125 --> 00:48:17,750
Yes, Mr. Sullivan. I'm aware
of the fact that you're a Temper Kop.
704
00:48:17,751 --> 00:48:18,833
[secretaries giggling]
705
00:48:18,834 --> 00:48:19,916
[giggling stops]
706
00:48:21,875 --> 00:48:22,874
What is that?
707
00:48:22,875 --> 00:48:24,708
Yiddish for "imbecile."
708
00:48:25,875 --> 00:48:29,083
And yet you come here and ask me to pay
for Trudy to swim the Channel,
709
00:48:29,084 --> 00:48:30,749
after she embarrassed us in Paris.
710
00:48:30,750 --> 00:48:34,583
She didn't train for three weeks
because of you. You failed her.
711
00:48:35,333 --> 00:48:38,166
You need Trudy, Mr. Sullivan.
Think of the publicity.
712
00:48:39,208 --> 00:48:41,999
The Channel is 21 miles across.
713
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,790
Currents changing every few hours.
714
00:48:44,791 --> 00:48:48,375
To fight those currents,
she'd have to swim close to 50 miles.
715
00:48:50,083 --> 00:48:51,666
The water is freezing.
716
00:48:52,208 --> 00:48:56,625
Storms blow in without warning
and bring waves 20 feet high.
717
00:48:56,626 --> 00:48:58,749
There's jellyfish and sharks,
718
00:48:58,750 --> 00:49:02,541
even the occasional unexploded mine
left over from the war.
719
00:49:02,542 --> 00:49:03,624
[sighs]
720
00:49:03,625 --> 00:49:06,166
I honestly believe she'll die
in that water.
721
00:49:06,666 --> 00:49:08,290
I don't need that publicity.
722
00:49:08,291 --> 00:49:09,915
Now, if you'll excuse me,
723
00:49:09,916 --> 00:49:12,500
I have to meet my mother for dinner
in the Jersey Highlands.
724
00:49:13,833 --> 00:49:15,540
It's her 88th birthday.
725
00:49:15,541 --> 00:49:20,208
She's requested Penner's for lobster,
a table on the water.
726
00:49:20,209 --> 00:49:22,625
What if I meet you there, Mr. Sullivan?
727
00:49:24,083 --> 00:49:25,207
[chuckling] I don't understand.
728
00:49:25,208 --> 00:49:29,333
You drive your car,
and I'll swim from New York to New Jersey.
729
00:49:29,334 --> 00:49:32,165
[scoffs] You wanna swim to Jersey?
730
00:49:32,166 --> 00:49:35,832
It's about seven miles across
the lower bay from Rockaway Point.
731
00:49:35,833 --> 00:49:39,500
We'll make a deal. If I make it,
the AOU pays my way to the Channel.
732
00:49:39,501 --> 00:49:43,000
Passage, trainer, guide boat, everything.
733
00:49:43,001 --> 00:49:44,458
[scoffs]
734
00:49:45,875 --> 00:49:47,937
Seven miles. In how many hours?
735
00:49:47,938 --> 00:49:50,000
- Five.
- I'll do it in four.
736
00:49:51,750 --> 00:49:52,875
Three.
737
00:49:53,375 --> 00:49:54,540
[chuckles]
738
00:49:54,541 --> 00:49:57,750
Do it in three, and we'll sponsor you.
739
00:49:59,583 --> 00:50:01,708
And dinner will be on me.
740
00:50:10,375 --> 00:50:14,083
[Eppy] Right now, it's 6:30.
Ride the evening tide. Don't fight it.
741
00:50:14,084 --> 00:50:15,958
Keep the sunset on your right shoulder.
742
00:50:16,541 --> 00:50:18,833
We don't have a guide boat.
You need to watch for barges.
743
00:50:18,834 --> 00:50:21,208
Use the Highlands lighthouse
as your guide.
744
00:50:21,209 --> 00:50:22,957
If you get lost, follow the buoys.
745
00:50:22,958 --> 00:50:25,290
There's moorings all the way to Jersey.
746
00:50:25,291 --> 00:50:27,916
- What's the name of the restaurant?
- Penner's.
747
00:50:27,917 --> 00:50:29,416
That way. Go!
748
00:50:30,916 --> 00:50:32,500
- Come on. Let's go.
- [engines start]

750
00:50:44,583 --> 00:50:45,583
Thank you.
751
00:50:54,708 --> 00:50:56,375
You're not too cold, are you, Mom?
752
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,541
[engines rumble]
753
00:51:06,250 --> 00:51:07,250
Come on.
754

Oh, darling. Thank you.

- [chuckles]
- [applause]
761
00:51:54,708 --> 00:51:57,791
Sorry, Mrs. Epstein. A deal's a deal.
762
00:51:58,291 --> 00:52:02,166
It's 9:30. Her time is up.
763
00:52:04,541 --> 00:52:05,875
How was dinner, Mr. Sullivan?
764
00:52:08,416 --> 00:52:12,750
Two hours and 56 minutes.
Your men will verify the time.
765
00:52:12,751 --> 00:52:16,375
[breathes heavily]
766

- Mmm!

770
00:52:28,125 --> 00:52:29,125
Where were you?
771
00:52:31,875 --> 00:52:33,541
If your father finds out
you're home this late...
772
00:52:33,542 --> 00:52:34,916
I was swimming.
773
00:52:35,916 --> 00:52:38,541
Swimming? At night?
774
00:52:39,125 --> 00:52:40,499
To New Jersey.
775
00:52:40,500 --> 00:52:42,666
I swam from New York to Jersey.
776
00:52:44,125 --> 00:52:45,750
Did you say New Jersey?
777
00:52:48,333 --> 00:52:50,083
I leave for the Channel next week.
778
00:52:50,084 --> 00:52:51,250
[speaking German]
779
00:52:53,333 --> 00:52:57,833
You are my child.
And the thing you love most, it...
780
00:52:59,625 --> 00:53:01,083
it terrifies me.
781
00:53:06,791 --> 00:53:09,625
I... I... I can't stay here.
782
00:53:10,291 --> 00:53:12,333
I look at Meg, the other girls...
783
00:53:13,333 --> 00:53:15,208
I don't know how to be like them.
784
00:53:26,333 --> 00:53:27,791
[Gertrude] I had a twin sister.
785
00:53:30,583 --> 00:53:32,208
She drowned when we were seven.
786
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,250
What was her name?
787
00:53:37,833 --> 00:53:39,416
[speaking German] Pearl.
788
00:53:47,333 --> 00:53:49,458
I won't be there
if something happens to you.
789
00:53:52,333 --> 00:53:54,500
I can't imagine where you get the courage.
790
00:54:00,250 --> 00:54:01,250
From you.
791
00:54:12,375 --> 00:54:15,250
Tell me what it's like
out there in the dark.
792
00:54:17,791 --> 00:54:20,711
Well, tonight, while I was swimming,
a harbor seal followed me. [chuckles]
793
00:54:21,541 --> 00:54:22,541
A seal followed you?
794
00:54:24,916 --> 00:54:26,290
I'm pretty sure.
795
00:54:26,291 --> 00:54:29,833
Not followed, Trudy. Chased.
796
00:54:41,875 --> 00:54:43,290
[faded laughing, chattering]
797
00:54:43,291 --> 00:54:44,875
[Wolffe] Thank you. One day, I will.
798
00:54:44,876 --> 00:54:46,915
[laughing continues]
799
00:54:46,916 --> 00:54:51,125
Trudy, I'd like you to meet the man
I've selected to train you.
800
00:54:53,666 --> 00:54:55,458
Charlotte Epstein is going to train me.
801
00:54:55,459 --> 00:54:58,624
A woman training a woman? Ha.
802
00:54:58,625 --> 00:55:01,625
Like a lion taming a lion. Bad idea.
[laughs]
803
00:55:01,626 --> 00:55:02,707
She's my coach.
804
00:55:02,708 --> 00:55:04,916
Mr. Wolffe is your coach, Trudy.
805
00:55:05,500 --> 00:55:06,500
[Wolffe laughs]
806
00:55:07,541 --> 00:55:08,958
Or we don't sponsor.
807
00:55:10,208 --> 00:55:13,666
[Wolffe] Don't worry, darling.
I'll take care of you in that big ocean.
808
00:55:28,458 --> 00:55:29,458
Trudy!
809
00:55:30,041 --> 00:55:32,750

811
00:55:40,958 --> 00:55:42,708
[Wolffe] Wait here. I'll get your key.
812
00:55:48,666 --> 00:55:49,791
[patron clears throat]
813
00:55:53,416 --> 00:55:57,666
[inhales deeply] We're drinking
to our friend Rudolph Vittali.
814
00:55:57,667 --> 00:55:59,749
He died this week trying to cross.
815
00:55:59,750 --> 00:56:02,875
He got lost in the darkness
of the shallows.
816
00:56:03,833 --> 00:56:08,750
See, this is a place
where men come to risk everything.
817
00:56:08,751 --> 00:56:09,958
So...
818
00:56:13,708 --> 00:56:15,125
[exhales deeply]
819
00:56:15,625 --> 00:56:19,250
What gives a woman
the right to come to such a place?
820
00:56:19,251 --> 00:56:21,833
[chattering, chuckling]
821
00:56:26,375 --> 00:56:28,875
To Vittali! A great swimmer.

Hmm.
825
00:56:47,666 --> 00:56:50,916
Trudy! Breaststroke, right?
826
00:56:53,125 --> 00:56:54,791
It's not a race.
827
00:57:00,958 --> 00:57:02,083
[exhales sharply]
828
00:57:07,125 --> 00:57:08,853
Slow and steady.

00:57:08,854 --> 00:57:10,583

[radio static]
832

[Horlick] News coming from Europe,
833
00:57:26,625 --> 00:57:29,707
where Trudy Ederle
trains to swim the English Channel.
834
00:57:29,708 --> 00:57:33,790
The odds of her making it have been
set by Lloyd's of London at 100-to-1.
835
00:57:33,791 --> 00:57:38,000
Babe Ruth predicted today that this is
one long shot that will not come in.
836
00:57:38,001 --> 00:57:40,500
[sighs] Babe Ruth is as German as we are.
837
00:57:41,458 --> 00:57:42,540
He can suck an egg.
838
00:57:42,541 --> 00:57:45,141
...whether this type of swim should be
considered sport for women.
839
00:57:54,583 --> 00:57:55,791
How many times have you tried?
840
00:57:58,208 --> 00:57:59,915
Twelve. [chuckles]
841
00:57:59,916 --> 00:58:02,165
Once I came within a few miles,
842
00:58:02,166 --> 00:58:05,541
but the tide from the Atlantic
came in sideways, oof.
843
00:58:06,458 --> 00:58:08,374
Pushed me toward the shallows.
844
00:58:08,375 --> 00:58:10,291
The last obstacle before England.
845
00:58:11,416 --> 00:58:13,082
They saved me, you know,
846
00:58:13,083 --> 00:58:17,458
before I went into that, that
hell on earth, where the current, it just...
847
00:58:17,459 --> 00:58:19,916
holds you like the hand of God.
848
00:58:20,666 --> 00:58:22,833
It's impossible to break.
849
00:58:24,916 --> 00:58:26,583
They're rooting against us, Trudy.
850
00:58:27,541 --> 00:58:29,375
They want the water to win.
851
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:31,666
I'm rooting for you, Benji.
852
00:58:33,833 --> 00:58:34,833

I swam three hours this morning.
I'm starving.

00:59:08,958 --> 00:59:11,666
You've got to look good for the papers.
Eat like a lady.

Eppy told me I need more than this!

[whispering] Lower your voice.

I'll get you more fruit.
860

And here it is! [screams indistinctly]
861
00:59:35,209 --> 00:59:37,665
Benji, take a look outside.
862
00:59:37,666 --> 00:59:41,083
Looks like you might have some company
for your swim tomorrow.
863
00:59:45,125 --> 00:59:47,083
I'm guessing that's just the baby.

1055
01:15:39,458 --> 01:15:43,625
I came to say it's not right.
They should let women be butchers.
1056

I will teach you.

to you on the radio...
1059
01:15:52,833 --> 01:15:56,416

And you were alone.
1060
01:15:57,125 --> 01:16:00,416
And I was ashamed of myself.
Ashamed I was not here.
1061

You're here now.
1062
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,166
Yeah. We came to take you home.
1063

1064

And cheese. I'm starving.

[Burgess speaking French]
1071

Trudy Ederle, where is she?
1072
01:16:29,958 --> 01:16:32,083
[nurse] Sir,
you must leave the hospital immediately.
1073
01:16:32,084 --> 01:16:33,375
Mr. Burgess?
1074
01:16:34,333 --> 01:16:37,750
You were swimming 12-and-a-half minute
miles across every tide.
1075
01:16:38,458 --> 01:16:39,541
Who is this man?
1076
01:16:39,542 --> 01:16:40,625
What happened?
1077
01:16:41,583 --> 01:16:45,500
Twenty-eight strokes per minute,
12-and-a-half minute miles.
1078
01:16:46,041 --> 01:16:47,041
Outstanding.
1079
01:16:48,291 --> 01:16:50,041
You will leave my daughter alone, sir.
1080
01:16:51,958 --> 01:16:53,875
The captain of the Alsace
is a friend of mine.
1081
01:16:54,583 --> 01:16:57,125
He said Mr. Wolffe almost touched you
in the water.
1082
01:16:57,708 --> 01:16:58,708
He slipped.
1083
01:16:59,291 --> 01:17:01,125
Well, he's a Channel swimmer,
he didn't slip.
1084
01:17:02,666 --> 01:17:05,458
You were swimming two knots
against every chop.
1085
01:17:05,459 --> 01:17:08,041
And then suddenly you were drowning.
1086
01:17:09,375 --> 01:17:10,416
So what happened?
1087
01:17:11,958 --> 01:17:14,458
Wolffe gave me tea.
I was sick after I drank it.
1088
01:17:14,459 --> 01:17:17,291
First my stomach, then my head.
1089
01:17:19,625 --> 01:17:20,958
I couldn't stay awake.

1091

He carries pills to put himself to sleep.
1092
01:17:30,416 --> 01:17:31,583

1093

[scoffs]
1094
01:17:34,416 --> 01:17:35,583

1095

1096

Take it as a compliment, Mr. Ederle.
1097

No. They'll never believe some biscuit
who almost drowned.
1100
01:17:52,876 --> 01:17:55,291
Not until she's touched the sand
on the other side.
1101
01:17:57,583 --> 01:17:59,625
It'd be my honor to show you the way.
1102

1103
01:18:02,125 --> 01:18:05,958
Please. If your mother finds out,
she will kill me.

[Meg] Trudy, what do you wanna do?
1105
01:18:22,958 --> 01:18:25,958

on that ship.

- Yes.

1111
01:18:42,959 --> 01:18:44,678

What will be your next venture?
1112
01:18:45,333 --> 01:18:47,833

1113

Ah.
1114
01:18:49,166 --> 01:18:53,750
In a few days, you'll be home
and all of this will be forgotten.
1115

1116
01:18:56,666 --> 01:18:57,666

We have three days
until that ship arrives in New York,
1121

until the world finds out
you're still in France.
1122
01:19:42,416 --> 01:19:44,666
But what if she's not strong enough
in three days?
1123
01:19:45,416 --> 01:19:49,541
Well, there's a storm coming.
The water temperature's 56 and dropping.
1124
01:19:49,542 --> 01:19:51,583
Any lower and she won't survive.

No press. No crowds. Nobody to stop me.
1128
01:20:10,208 --> 01:20:12,291
Everyone thinks
it's a straight line to England.
1129
01:20:13,583 --> 01:20:15,541
But it's the current
that dictates the line.
1130
01:20:16,291 --> 01:20:19,000
Now, you know where the North Sea
and the Atlantic are gonna surge,
1131
01:20:19,001 --> 01:20:21,541
then you can follow that current
like a map.
1132
01:20:23,041 --> 01:20:25,291
I need you to promise me something,
Mr. Burgess.
1133
01:20:25,958 --> 01:20:28,666
Don't let anyone take me out of the water
no matter what.
1134
01:20:33,333 --> 01:20:34,665
It's not right what you're asking.
1135
01:20:34,666 --> 01:20:38,083
I decide what's right. I go on my terms.

Promise me.

What about your father or your family?
1138
01:20:45,250 --> 01:20:48,583
They could never understand, but you do.
1139
01:20:49,375 --> 01:20:51,707
So promise me you won't pull me out.

to a woman.

they bought me a thousand whiskeys.

Dragged me before the Queen.

the weather slowing her down,

01:40:39,959 --> 01:40:43,208
She'll have to swim across the
shallows for the last five miles alone.
1394
01:40:43,958 --> 01:40:47,708
What if she gets lost in the dark?
What if she gets sucked out to the sea?
1395
01:40:47,709 --> 01:40:48,791
She can do it.
1396
01:40:49,541 --> 01:40:53,208
Take her out of the water now,
Mr. Burgess. Get my daughter out!
1397
01:40:54,375 --> 01:40:55,875
Get my daughter out!
1398
01:40:59,500 --> 01:41:00,707
I will not take her out.
1399
01:41:00,708 --> 01:41:01,915
Take my daughter out!
1400
01:41:01,916 --> 01:41:04,666
As long as she wants to swim, she swims!
1401
01:41:06,791 --> 01:41:08,831
- She'll make it.
- [Henry] No, we are losing light.
1402
01:41:09,333 --> 01:41:11,499
She's frozen stiff. She's slowing down.
1403
01:41:11,500 --> 01:41:14,083
She will be alone in the dark
without a ship to guide her!
1404
01:41:14,084 --> 01:41:17,375
- Hey! Hey!
- [Henry] I want her out of the water!
1405
01:41:18,708 --> 01:41:19,708
Trudy!
1406
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:25,333
Trudy, we can't follow you
through the shallows.
1407
01:41:25,334 --> 01:41:27,166
Without us, you will be lost.
1408
01:41:28,250 --> 01:41:30,708
Get out now. The swim is over.
1409
01:41:38,083 --> 01:41:39,083
It's not over.
1410
01:41:45,750 --> 01:41:46,875
I love you.
1411
01:42:00,458 --> 01:42:01,750
We'll meet her on the beach.
1412
01:42:09,041 --> 01:42:11,708
[engine rumbling]
1413
01:43:05,208 --> 01:43:08,291
[news anchor 1] Having achieved
more than so many men before her,
1414
01:43:08,292 --> 01:43:11,375
Trudy Ederle now attempts
the final stretch of the swim.
1415
01:43:11,875 --> 01:43:15,041
[Horlick] Trudy Ederle has entered
the shallows alone.
1416
01:43:15,042 --> 01:43:18,207
A sandbank
that guards the shores of England.
1417
01:43:18,208 --> 01:43:21,458
[new anchor 2] Mademoiselle Trudy Ederle
has spent almost 13 hours in the water
1418
01:43:21,459 --> 01:43:24,708
in freezing temperatures
in the most perilous part of the swim.
1419
01:43:59,666 --> 01:44:02,041
[breathing shakily]
1420
01:44:08,583 --> 01:44:11,291
[thunder rumbling]
1421
01:44:16,916 --> 01:44:18,500
[whimpers]
1422
01:44:23,333 --> 01:44:25,291
[coughing, panting]
1423
01:44:31,416 --> 01:44:32,416
No.
1424
01:44:51,208 --> 01:44:52,500
[whimpers]
1425
01:44:56,625 --> 01:44:58,333
No, no, no!
1426
01:44:59,333 --> 01:45:01,958
No, no! [coughs]
1427
01:45:02,583 --> 01:45:05,083
No! [crying]
1428
01:45:20,291 --> 01:45:22,166
[Horlick] She's lost in the shallows.
1429
01:45:23,291 --> 01:45:25,082
They can't find her.
1430
01:45:25,083 --> 01:45:26,875
[sniffles, sobs]
1431
01:45:33,291 --> 01:45:37,583
[Horlick] We have reports that
Trudy Ederle is lost in the Goodwin Sands,
1432
01:45:37,584 --> 01:45:39,750
only five miles from England.
1433
01:45:42,708 --> 01:45:47,125
We pray she finds her way to Dover
and the beach at Kingsdown.
1434
01:46:00,583 --> 01:46:03,166
[gasps, coughs]
1435
01:46:05,208 --> 01:46:06,958
[sobs, coughs]
1436
01:46:15,875 --> 01:46:17,875
[breathing shakily]
1437
01:46:21,416 --> 01:46:23,583
[gasps, shivering]
1438
01:46:46,250 --> 01:46:48,416
[Henry] We have to go back on that boat
and find her.
1439
01:46:49,041 --> 01:46:51,666
[Burgess] There's no going back.
This is where it ends.
1440
01:46:52,458 --> 01:46:53,708
[Henry] It's been hours!
1441
01:46:55,041 --> 01:46:57,208
How is she supposed to find her way?
1442
01:46:57,209 --> 01:46:59,416
[horns honking]
1443
01:47:04,125 --> 01:47:05,125
Look.
1444
01:47:19,541 --> 01:47:21,625
[chattering]
1445
01:47:30,916 --> 01:47:32,125
[sighs] Please.
1446
01:47:32,625 --> 01:47:34,500
[shivering]
1447
01:47:55,541 --> 01:47:58,208
[Horlick] There's fires burning
on the cliffs of Dover
1448
01:47:58,209 --> 01:48:01,041
as the world stops now and waits.
1449
01:48:02,958 --> 01:48:05,291
We are all with her
in that freezing water.
1450
01:48:05,292 --> 01:48:08,000
Tonight, we're all with Trudy.
1451
01:48:18,625 --> 01:48:21,416
[shivering]
1452
01:49:33,083 --> 01:49:34,958
[chattering]
1453
01:49:38,666 --> 01:49:39,666
There!
1454
01:49:40,375 --> 01:49:41,416
- Where?
- There!
1455
01:49:46,125 --> 01:49:47,208
[gasps]
1456
01:49:49,458 --> 01:49:50,500
- [Burgess] It's...
- Trudy!
1457
01:49:50,501 --> 01:49:51,583
Trudy!
1458
01:49:54,958 --> 01:49:57,666
[spectators shouting]
1459
01:50:02,458 --> 01:50:04,958
- [sighs]
- [woman 1] She's been out there for hours!
1460
01:50:05,666 --> 01:50:07,166
[woman 2] You made it! Come on!
1461
01:50:07,167 --> 01:50:08,416
[spectators clamoring]
1462
01:50:09,125 --> 01:50:10,333
Nobody touches her!
1463
01:50:39,833 --> 01:50:42,000
[water splashes]
1464
01:50:46,625 --> 01:50:48,000
[gasps]
1465
01:50:51,916 --> 01:50:52,958
[coughs]
1466
01:50:59,791 --> 01:51:01,625
[cheering]
1467
01:51:06,041 --> 01:51:07,041
[sobs]
1468
01:51:12,958 --> 01:51:13,958
[sobs]
1469
01:51:17,333 --> 01:51:18,750
[gasps]
1470
01:51:28,458 --> 01:51:30,166
[shivers]
1471
01:51:34,375 --> 01:51:36,625
Come on, Trudy. Just a few more steps.
1472
01:51:41,791 --> 01:51:43,436
B-Bloody hero.
1473
01:51:43,437 --> 01:51:45,083
[Burgess laughs]
1474
01:51:57,375 --> 01:51:59,000
Welcome to England.
1475
01:52:00,583 --> 01:52:03,208
- Yeah!
- [spectators cheering]
1476
01:52:04,500 --> 01:52:06,416
[laughing]
1477
01:52:11,416 --> 01:52:12,790
My daughter!
1478
01:52:12,791 --> 01:52:15,083
I taught her to swim! I taught her!
1479
01:52:16,166 --> 01:52:17,625
[Trudy, Meg laughing]
1480
01:52:18,333 --> 01:52:20,666
- [reporter 1] This way, Trudy!
- [reporter 2] Big smile!
1481
01:52:20,667 --> 01:52:22,083
[Meg] Look, you're freezing. Here.
1482
01:52:22,084 --> 01:52:23,540
[shivers]
1483
01:52:23,541 --> 01:52:25,208
- Here, take this.
- Okay.
1484
01:52:27,208 --> 01:52:28,500
[coughs]
1485
01:52:29,041 --> 01:52:30,083
[Meg laughs]
1486
01:52:33,333 --> 01:52:35,916
[woman 1] We love you, Trudy!
1487
01:52:35,917 --> 01:52:38,500
[woman 2] Hooray! Bravo!
1488
01:52:39,083 --> 01:52:41,923
- [spectator 1] Bravo, Trudy! Bravo!
- [spectator 2] We love you, Trudy!
1489
01:52:44,833 --> 01:52:46,833
Whoo!
1490
01:52:48,583 --> 01:52:50,208
[spectator shouting, indistinct]
1491
01:53:00,291 --> 01:53:01,750
Your daughter is in England!
1492
01:53:01,751 --> 01:53:03,458
[cheering]
1493
01:53:14,625 --> 01:53:17,000
Come on. Let's go. It's time for school.
1494
01:53:17,708 --> 01:53:18,833
School?
1495
01:53:19,750 --> 01:53:21,666
Trudy just swam the Channel.
1496
01:53:21,667 --> 01:53:23,583
Yes, she did, but you did not.
1497
01:53:29,791 --> 01:53:31,583
[laughter]
1498
01:53:34,166 --> 01:53:39,083
Ladies and gentlemen, today I can report
that the greatest athlete in the world
1499
01:53:39,084 --> 01:53:41,791
is not Babe Ruth or Jack Dempsey.
1500
01:53:42,958 --> 01:53:49,000
The greatest athlete in the world is
a young woman from New York City.
1501
01:53:50,583 --> 01:53:51,791
Trudy Ederle.
1502
01:53:54,958 --> 01:53:59,208
Yes! You did it, Trudy!
1503
01:53:59,209 --> 01:54:01,916
[cheering]
1504
01:54:01,917 --> 01:54:04,625
[pants]
1505
01:54:07,291 --> 01:54:09,500
[seagull crying]
1506
01:54:16,250 --> 01:54:18,970
Uh, I'm sorry. I-I can't let you
into the country without a passport.
1507
01:54:19,833 --> 01:54:21,957
[laughing]
1508
01:54:21,958 --> 01:54:24,083
You... You're gonna have to call someone.
1509
01:54:24,750 --> 01:54:26,791
[laughing]
1510
01:54:40,958 --> 01:54:42,625
[cheering]
1511
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:54,000
[Trudy laughs]
1512
01:55:07,083 --> 01:55:08,791
[spectator] Welcome back, Trudy!
1513
01:55:20,333 --> 01:55:21,478
[Trudy laughs]
1514
01:55:21,479 --> 01:55:22,625
[Eppy] You did it.
1515
01:55:23,916 --> 01:55:25,040
Yes!
1516
01:55:25,041 --> 01:55:26,999
[laughs] Benji!
1517
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:30,166
It's your time, Trudy. This is your time.
1518
01:55:30,708 --> 01:55:32,548
- [mayor] Trudy, we have to go.
- Go on, Trudy!
1519
01:55:34,166 --> 01:55:35,541
My coach rides with me.
1520
01:55:39,750 --> 01:55:42,083
[spectators cheering]
1521
01:55:58,291 --> 01:56:00,000
Yeah, Trudy!
1522
01:56:13,208 --> 01:56:14,666
The Yankees!
1523
01:56:15,208 --> 01:56:17,125
Yeah! [laughs]
1524
01:56:18,083 --> 01:56:19,375
Babe Ruth!
