1
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,434
Mornin'.
Mmm.

2
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,112
Mornin'. Anybody
see my shirt?

3
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,068
Mama, you
seen my shirt?

4
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,428
It's where
you put it last.

5
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,398
- Anyone?
- No.

6
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,993
I got
your shirt right here.

7
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,160
Hand it over.

8
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,280
Here you go.

9
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,595
Mmm.

10
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,832
Cut it out, Quincy.

11
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,752
It's my only shirt.
Oh, come on now.

12
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,195
What's the matter?
You too fancy for us now, college boy?

13
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,633
Uh, what's that
supposed to mean?

14
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,393
I've always paid my way.
You know I send what I can.

15
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,669
Bye, Mama.

16
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,949
Mama, what
are you doing?

17
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,197
First boy of mine to go to college
is gonna look respectable.

18
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,473
You like it?

19
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,751
Ma, we can't
afford this.

20
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,193
Try it on.

21
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,117
Mama, it's Ohio State.
It's not Sunday school.

22
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,235
Shh!

23
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,550
Thought I was gonna lose
you at five years old.

24
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,471
Now look at you.

25
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,391
I knew when I cut
that lump out of you,

26
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,234
you were born
for great things.

27
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,594
Yeah.

28
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,077
God spared you
for a reason.

29
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:27,789
There.

30
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,239
You look handsome.

31
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,039
A man has to present
an image to the world.

32
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,031
You remember that,
James Cleveland Owens.

33
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,315
Yes, Mama. Thank you.
Thank you, Mama.

34
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,560
Bye, Laverne.

35
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,238
Is Dad coming downstairs today?

36
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,754
I hope so.
He knows you're leaving.

37
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:01,353
So long, Pa.

38
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,960
Things are gonna
turn around, Pa.

39
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,040
You'll see.

40
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,954
That's Ohio State's
Ken Seitz in the dust.

41
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,031
It's Charlie Parsons
and Foy Draper

42
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,156
from the University
of Southern California.

43
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,754
And another poor
showing for Ohio State.

44
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,799
Good race.

45
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,313
Hey, there's
the coach.

46
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,469
Hey.

47
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,959
Larry.

48
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,308
What's up, Dean?

49
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,358
How many is that now?

50
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,639
Asshole.

51
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,355
Sorry, Coach. This time I really
thought I had 'em beat.

52
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,993
Yeah, well, that's probably
why you didn't, then.

53
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,832
That makes it three straight losses

54
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,070
for Larry Snyder
and Ohio State.

55
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,037
After two years
without a national win,

56
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,951
you've gotta wonder
if the Buckeyes made a mistake

57
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,508
bringing Snyder back to coach
at his old alma mater.

58
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,431
He was a hell of
an athlete in his time,

59
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,437
but that doesn't
make you a great coach.

60
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,078
If I was Larry
Snyder right now,

61
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,758
I'd be worried
about keeping my job.

62
00:04:32,840 --> 00:04:34,717
Here's a man who's no
stranger to winning,

63
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:37,035
USC coach, Dean Cromwell.

64
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,429
With four Olympic gold
medalists to his credit,

65
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,909
it's no wonder they call him
"the maker of champions."

66
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,956
Thanks for making the time,
Mr. Cromwell.

67
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,678
It's a pleasure. Call me Dean...

68
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,990
Oh, no. Please,
switch it back on.

69
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,911
Why? So we can
watch you sit around

70
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,871
all afternoon feeling
sorry for yourself?

71
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,791
How do you know
what I have scheduled?

72
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,797
Oh, I know the schedule.

73
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,759
Fresh blood.

74
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:33,555
Hi. How are y'all doing?
I'm Dave.

75
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,914
Mmm-hmm.

76
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,758
Fine weather we're having, isn't it?

77
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:38,239
Dave!
Y'all so sophisticated.

78
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,959
Dave, would you quit bothering
every girl you see?

79
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,712
I'm not bothering
them none.

80
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,960
They never met a college man before.
They're impressed.

81
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,678
Yeah, well, you ain't a
college man yet.

82
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,717
All right, so,
come on. Let's go.

83
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,270
All right, give me 10 minutes.
Take a cold shower or something.

84
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,632
Can you grab
that comb for me in the back?

85
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,275
Gloria. Gloria.

86
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,871
Come here, sweetie.
Give me a moment.

87
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,188
Come to Daddy.

88
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,551
I'm working, Jesse.
You can't come here when I'm working.

89
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,154
You just
try and keep me away.

90
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,198
See, that's the kind of talk got
us in trouble to begin with.

91
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,714
Really?

92
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,280
Get out of here, you big dope.
Go on, get.

93
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,434
Money's gonna be a little
tight from now on.

94
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,153
Till then,

95
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,635
take this.

96
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,392
I'll send more as
soon as I find work.

97
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,152
You should put some
aside for the wedding.

98
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,189
Are you finally gonna marry me,
Jesse Owens?

99
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,115
Gotta do it right.

100
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,119
Hi. How you doing?

101
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,160
See that,
that way that colored pushed me?

102
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,315
Hi.
How you doing?

103
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Put a Negro in a suit...

104
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,991
Hurry up, shorty!

105
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,639
I wanna get there
before we graduate.

106
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,998
Whoo-hoo!

107
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,269
Good games... Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

108
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,548
Now, where do you
boys think you're going?

109
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,836
Just using the showers.

110
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,070
Not until we're through,
you're not.

111
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,038
You niggers can
wait your turn.

112
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,394
Yeah. Can you
believe they let these

113
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:09,714
jiggaboos share
our locker room now?

114
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,353
Let's get outta here.

115
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,953
They won't
ever play football. Dave.

116
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,040
No, sir.

117
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,672
OSU, what?

118
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,754
OSU, what?

119
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,556
Kick that cracker's
ass is what I should do.

120
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,398
Sounds like a great idea.

121
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,319
Get us thrown outta here
before our bags are unpacked.

122
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,079
Dave, this
is our shot.

123
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,074
All right?
Don't blow it.

124
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:36,754
Hey, Owens.

125
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,633
Coach wants to see you.

126
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:40,799
Now.
Let's go! Let's go!

127
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,633
What am I supposed to do,
kiss his ass after I wipe it for him?

128
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:48,948
No, sir.

129
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,510
Look, you just
smile and play nice.

130
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,630
Run every last one of these
peckerwoods off their feet.

131
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,755
Hey.
Sorry.

132
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,319
That's some outfit.

133
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,795
What's this,
a pickaninny parade?

134
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,188
Slow down, boy!

135
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,634
Well, look at this.

136
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,359
Peggy, who do
we have here?

137
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,434
Coach Snyder,
I'm Jesse Owens.

138
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:34,113
Nice jacket.

139
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,440
Think I had the same one
back in Sunday school.

140
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,672
Coming in, or what?

141
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,514
Shut the door.

142
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:56,994
Oh, you can
sit down.

143
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,156
Charlie Riley
says you can run.

144
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,634
Yes, sir.

145
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,276
Well, says you're a natural,
best he's ever seen.

146
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,230
Well, I guess.

147
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,392
Me personally,
I don't trust naturals,

148
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,950
'cause they think
they don't have to work.

149
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,439
I will say,

150
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,479
you can run.

151
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,476
And, boy, oh, boy, you can jump.

152
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,189
What I wanna know is,
can you win?

153
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,640
And what I mean by
that is, can you work?

154
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,516
You know, your mama might've
taught you how to dress right,

155
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,511
but she sure as hell didn't teach
you anything about manners.

156
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,920
You should look a man in the
eye when he's speaking to you.

157
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,193
Can you work?

158
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,469
I was picking 100 pounds of
cotton a day at six years old.

159
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,112
You ever pick cotton?

160
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,390
The way it cuts you when you,
when you get it off the boll?

161
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,758
Yes, sir, I can work.

162
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,037
Coach Riley's a smart man.

163
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,400
But I was watching you out there today,
I'll tell you this.

164
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,591
Your start's no good, your rhythm's
off and your posture's lousy.

165
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,915
But we can fix all that.
That's easy.

166
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,794
But if you wanna win, it takes more
than a pair of legs, all right?

167
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,911
You win up here.

168
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,069
And that's the part I don't know about
you yet. I don't know if you got that.

169
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,792
I ran 100 yards last year
in Chicago in 9.4.

170
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,920
Mmm-hmm.

171
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,752
I mean, it's the same as Wykoff.
It's a world record.

172
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,598
Records don't mean shit!

173
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,109
You know what matters?

174
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:40,788
Medals.

175
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,272
Some kid come out of nowhere,
snatch your record from you like that.

176
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,352
But a gold medal?

177
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,191
That's yours for life.

178
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,679
Is that you?

179
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,828
Mmm-hmm.

180
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,313
It's the US Olympic team,
Paris games, '24.

181
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,468
Go ahead, take a look.

182
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,153
That's me on the right,
next to Charley Paddock.

183
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,919
You, you went to Paris in '24
with Charley Paddock?

184
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,275
No.

185
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,639
Well, why not?

186
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,157
You wanna win
a gold medal?

187
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,028
Well, sure.

188
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,479
You wanna do
it in Berlin?

189
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,559
Well, I mean, unless you
were planning on waiting.

190
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,993
You know, I...

191
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,633
I heard they don't care
much for colored folk over there.

192
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,991
Well, they don't care for 'em
much here in Columbus either.

193
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,679
Is that gonna
be a problem?

194
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,751
No, sir.
I just came here to run.

195
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,078
Well, then,
for the next 28 months,

196
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,316
you're either in a classroom or
you're on that track,

197
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,197
every hour,
every day.

198
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,714
And I don't care about your grades.
I really don't.

199
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,795
And I don't care
if your buddies

200
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,869
have a keg they
need help with.

201
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,155
And I certainly don't care
if you got a girl at home

202
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,879
rolling down her silk stockings
with that look in her eye.

203
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,678
You belong to me.

204
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,036
Do we have
an understanding?

205
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,948
Yes, sir.

206
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:17,757
Good. All right, well, go home
and get some rest.

207
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,397
9:00 a.m. tomorrow,
we'll see how good you really are.

208
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,628
Jesse.

209
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,639
Why'd you come here?

210
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,030
I mean, after the noise
you made in Chicago,

211
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,475
hell, you could've
gone anywhere you wanted.

212
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,076
You know, maybe
someplace a little

213
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,758
more progressive.

214
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,959
Yeah, well...

215
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,115
Mr. Riley said
you were the best.

216
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,395
Mmm.

217
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,549
Another one?

218
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,160
Uh-huh.

219
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,673
Well, the joke
on the board is,

220
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,433
they're thinking of renaming us
the "Model T State."

221
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:01,079
Mmm.

222
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,553
Any color you want,
so long as it's black.

223
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:03,868
Yeah, well, maybe if
you and Coach Schmidt

224
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,640
let 'em play football, they wouldn't
all choose track and field, huh?

225
00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:08,113
Jesse!
Ready when you are.

226
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,759
Okay, Coach.

227
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,912
Let's see what
we got here.

228
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,991
Ready, go!

229
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,120
Whoo!

230
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,390
Well, I don't know
why you look so impressed.

231
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,994
This was a second slower
than Wykoff's record.

232
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,598
Frank Wykoff runs
100 yards in 9.4.

233
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,872
Kid just ran
100 meters.

234
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,951
Well, Lynn, you know that meters
are longer than yards, yeah?

235
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,559
No.

236
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,433
There a problem, Coach?

237
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,159
Uh, no. No, Jesse.
No problem at all. Uh-uh.

238
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,671
You want me
to do it again?

239
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,515
Yeah. That'd be great.

240
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,919
Watch your start.

241
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,151
He works on his start,
you're looking

242
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,077
at a 1936 gold
medalist right there.

243
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,195
That is, if they
have a '36 Olympics.

244
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,320
We won't go
to Berlin, Brundage!

245
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,759
Nazi-lover!

246
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,114
Get your hands off me!

247
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,270
Americans can't
take part in these games!

248
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,714
Okay, we're here.

249
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,472
Take a seat, Avery.

250
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,192
What's this I'm hearing
about a boycott? Hmm?

251
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,277
Nothing's been
decided yet,

252
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,797
but we're hearing some pretty
ugly reports out of Germany.

253
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,075
Apparently, they're
rounding up Romany Gypsies...

254
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,553
Gypsies!

255
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,079
...vandalizing
Jewish property.

256
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,478
They're using the sports clubs to
exclude Jewish athletes from trials.

257
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,751
They're putting up two women,
Mayer and Bergmann, both Jewish.

258
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,150
Oh, two!
As a token gesture.

259
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,231
Well, maybe the rest
weren't good enough.

260
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:39,639
Excuse me?

261
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,551
Is this
really the point here?

262
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,555
It is not the purpose
of the Amateur Athletics Union

263
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,631
or the American
Olympic Committee

264
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,836
or the International
Olympic Committee

265
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,911
to tell Germans how to
govern their affairs.

266
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,672
So you think we
should just sit back

267
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,910
and take their word that
they're going to play fair?

268
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,953
I'm saying politics
has no place in sport.

269
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,839
The AAU already accepted
the invitation to compete.

270
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,592
You wanna go
back on your word?

271
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,358
If they go
back on theirs.

272
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,274
There's a lot of hateful
literature coming out of there,

273
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,391
and it is not only
against the Jews.

274
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,677
Now they're saying they don't
want Negroes to compete.

275
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,632
Krauts got kicked in
the balls 20 years ago,

276
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,432
and they're still
catching their breath.

277
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,431
They need these games.

278
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,711
Show they're
back on their feet.

279
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,472
Why would they
risk us pulling out?

280
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,949
Maybe they don't
think we have the nerve.

281
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,636
We have had every assurance
they will not discriminate.

282
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,752
And you trust
the word of a Nazi?

283
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,198
I've never met a Nazi.
Have you?

284
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,949
Come to think of it,
when was the last time

285
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,760
you played 18 holes
with a Jew or a Negro?

286
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,438
Come on. The situation
here is hardly comparable.

287
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:50,555
It's not?

288
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,758
You want to pull out of the greatest
sporting event in the world

289
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,277
because of a few rumors.

290
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,150
It's been a tough
few years here, too.

291
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,630
The American
people need champions

292
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,791
to remind them what
they're capable of.

293
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,195
I'm surprised you can still
see the American people

294
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,157
from all the way up there
in your skyscraper.

295
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,599
Screw you, Mahoney.

296
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,796
These games have
to be inclusive.

297
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,711
If I'm not satisfied

298
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,439
that the Nazis are going to
make good on their promises,

299
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,796
I have no alternative
but to recommend

300
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,916
a vote to boycott.

301
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,676
You can't do that. You can't do that.
You can't do that.

302
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,390
No, but I can urge each athlete
to search their conscience,

303
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,160
and I know a lot of
people on the American

304
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,232
and the International Committees
who feel the way I do.

305
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,356
But that's politics, that's not sport.
Okay.

306
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,113
We'll send someone
over there to find out.

307
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,913
Keep them in line.

308
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,752
Uh, who do you
have in mind?

309
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,518
I propose Avery.

310
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:55,473
I'm a builder.

311
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,189
Don't you have some
tame diplomat for that?

312
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,592
I think you're
just the diplomat we need.

313
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:04,840
Gather around.

314
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,950
Okay, we got some
new exercises.

315
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,832
You're gonna think I'm nuts,
but we're gonna do 'em anyway.

316
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,349
First, we're gonna start off
with high knees, like that.

317
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,078
You got to lift those legs.

318
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,832
And we're gonna work
on your syncopation.

319
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,480
A lot people think a shorter
stride makes you slower.

320
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,959
Well, a lot of
people are wrong.

321
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,555
A shorter stride means more
strides and a faster time.

322
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,920
When your feet are in the air,
you're not moving forward.

323
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,070
So let's get those
legs working double-time.

324
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,071
Let's go! Move it,
move it, move it!

325
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,996
Dear Ruth, this is all
I can send you this month.

326
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,196
Our books cost much
more than you'd think.

327
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,431
But I got a job at
a service station

328
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,431
that's good for
a few bucks a week.

329
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,990
Our coach has his own ideas
about how to get things done.

330
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,991
He's working us pretty hard.

331
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:48,317
Now, you probably won't believe this,
but guess what I did today?

332
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,596
I applied for
a marriage license.

333
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,428
I'm coming back for you
in style, Minnie Ruth.

334
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,153
Kiss Gloria for me.

335
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,436
I miss you both so much.

336
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,029
Jesse.

337
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,791
Come on. Let's go.
I'm coming.

338
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,153
Missed you at
practice this morning.

339
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,713
Yeah. I, I had to cut
up a frog for lab class.

340
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,073
Okay. What about
this afternoon?

341
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,630
I was at the
service station.

342
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,319
What, were
you pumping gas?

343
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,278
Look, Coach, I need this job. I got a lot
of people counting on me, all right?

344
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:38,430
Well, I guess
I misunderstood.

345
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,353
'Cause I was
under the impression

346
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,158
when you stood in my office
and you looked me in the eye,

347
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,396
that you made me
a goddamn commitment!

348
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,832
You think you
know everything?

349
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,478
Got nothing left to learn,
is that it?

350
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,198
Huh?
No, sir!

351
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,518
Look, I know I ain't
as fast as I want to be,

352
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,517
but you need to
figure out a way

353
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,437
to feed and put
clothes on my baby girl.

354
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,988
Or else, fit your
practices in around me,

355
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,631
'cause I'm all
out of options.

356
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,355
Hey!

357
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,189
Why didn't you tell
me you had a daughter?

358
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,558
You never asked.

359
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:34,880
Welcome to Germany,
Herr Brundage!

360
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,148
Thank you.

361
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,878
I trust you
had a pleasant flight?

362
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,558
Yeah. Very impressive.

363
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,719
This will be the largest

364
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,394
and most technically advanced
stadium in Olympic history.

365
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,958
326 acres, with
a capacity of 110, 000.

366
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,913
A little more, I think, than your
Los Angeles Coliseum.

367
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,790
Every moment is being recorded
by Miss Leni Riefenstahl,

368
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,229
one of our most
talented young filmmakers,

369
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,909
handpicked by
the Fuhrer himself.

370
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:57,395
This is history,
Herr Brundage.

371
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,636
For the first time,
an audience of millions

372
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,349
will experience the Olympics
as if they were there themselves.

373
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,311
I've never had much
time for the pictures.

374
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,874
Herr Brundage...

375
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,393
Let's allow
Miss Riefenstahl to explain.

376
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,953
Sorry, I'm late.

377
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,514
May I present
Dr. Joseph Goebbels?

378
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,160
How do you do?

379
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,753
His ministry is financing
my little film.

380
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,551
Well, I've been
hearing all about it.

381
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,996
It's my hope that Olympia will stand
as the greatest advertisement

382
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,152
for the Olympic ideals
the world has ever seen.

383
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,956
At last, we will be able to honor
the full glory of the games.

384
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:49,873
And I thought this was all
about the glory of the Nazis.

385
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,794
We hope to present a favorable
image of ourselves, that's all.

386
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,350
Well, then, let me
ask you something.

387
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:58,473
Do you want to
be remembered

388
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,791
as the guys who held the
Olympics without America?

389
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,869
The minister hopes
you are impressed

390
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,315
by the facilities
here at our sports club.

391
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,432
Yeah,
the facilities are great.

392
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,118
No problem with
the facilities.

393
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,316
But the one thing
that puzzles me

394
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,755
is you don't allow
Jews to be members,

395
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,912
and that's the only way they
can qualify for the games.

396
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:47,190
We have several,
very promising

397
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,356
Jewish athletes we
expect to compete.

398
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,748
Look, I'm not here to tell
you how to run your country.

399
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,870
I walk in a man's house,
I'm not gonna piss on his rug.

400
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,637
But I don't expect him to feed
me manure and call it foie gras.

401
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:10,313
You wanna use these games to sell
your nasty little ideas to the world,

402
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,836
and I'm here to tell you no
one is gonna stand for it.

403
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,076
You gotta clean
up your act.

404
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,238
Would you like me to
translate or interpret?

405
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,840
Avery, what did
you have in mind?

406
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,437
Gotta take down
those posters.

407
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,991
Put a leash
on your press.

408
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,159
I don't wanna hear about anymore
rounding up of undesirables.

409
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,392
And I want your word,
here, today,

410
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,029
that you will not exclude Jews
and Negroes from the games.

411
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:57,588
So long as they're
American citizens,

412
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,188
we'll bring Martians
if we want to.

413
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,995
If the minister agrees,
he can count on your support?

414
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,835
Sure.

415
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,189
Coach?

416
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,153
There you go.

417
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,392
What,
what's this?

418
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,919
An identity
and registration card

419
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,439
for the Ohio
state legislature.

420
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,920
All the pages
there gotta have them.

421
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:17,788
What's a page do?

422
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,519
Takes home 60 bucks a month,
plus expenses.

423
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,031
All right. But what
does he gotta do?

424
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,312
Nothing. He's got the Big Ten
Championships coming up. He trains.

425
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,634
Thanks, Coach.

426
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,988
See you at
9:00 a.m. sharp.

427
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,994
Ten seconds. Okay?

428
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,152
I want you to count that to yourself.
Ten seconds, fellas.

429
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,196
That's all you
get to run the 100.

430
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,158
Sixty strides, and every
single one of them counts.

431
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,153
There's no margin
for error, all right?

432
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,037
You could fall
down in the 400,

433
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,912
pick yourself up and
still place. Not here.

434
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,118
Now, if you're over-striding,
if your cadence is too slow,

435
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,277
it can cost you a quarter
of a second the whole race.

436
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,112
Every fraction of
every second counts,

437
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,350
but it's your start that
counts the most of all.

438
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,440
Go.

439
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,079
I'm looking at you, Jesse.

440
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,799
You come off the gun like you're
slamming into a brick wall,

441
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,673
and it pains me
to watch it, okay?

442
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,678
You gotta start low.

443
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,360
You gotta glide into
it like an airplane.

444
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,400
Any of you fellows ever seen
an airplane take off?

445
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,869
The lower you are,
the longer you stay there,

446
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,872
the less resistance you get,
the faster you are.

447
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,154
It's that simple.

448
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,559
Ready?

449
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,950
And we're gonna keep working
on that over and over, okay?

450
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,240
You gotta stay low all the way
through the hurdle, okay?

451
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,788
Wow. The great
Jesse Owens.

452
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,712
Jesse, let's get
back to basics.

453
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,234
Why don't you swing from those
bamboo poles over there, boy?

454
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,952
That's right, jiggaboos!

455
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,234
Let's see you
hang off those bars!

456
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,509
Hey,
Jesse, get set.

457
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,593
Hustle to it fellas. It's just
like being back in the jungle, huh?

458
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,080
Come on,
porch monkey, swing!

459
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,479
Yeah, do it!

460
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,794
One more thing.
Jesse, you wanna tell me

461
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,952
what was so interesting about
the goddamn football team?

462
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,720
I don't know, Coach.
I just got distracted.

463
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,955
Oh, you got distracted?
See, that's what I'm talking about.

464
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,393
You can't get distracted.
You understand?

465
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,913
What the
hell is this?

466
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,719
All right, Larry. Finish this up now.
I got boys who need to shower.

467
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,791
Yeah, one sec, Coach.
I'm not quite through yet.

468
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,916
Sit down. Everybody,
sit down. Sit down!

469
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,071
Larry, hustle these niggers out of here.
You hear me?

470
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,195
Get 'em out!

471
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,874
If you get your head turned by a few
gorillas in warm-up pads here at home,

472
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,949
how are you gonna
hold up in Michigan?

473
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,877
Who the hell is he calling "gorillas," Coach?
Coach Snyder!

474
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,154
Hey, look at me!
Coach Snyder.

475
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,276
A lot of people show
up for the Big Ten meet.

476
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,311
Coach Snyder! Not all of them
are gonna be on our side,

477
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,799
you understand?

478
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,672
Do you? Do you?

479
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,072
You gotta learn to
block it all out!

480
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,628
It's just noise!
That's all, all this is!

481
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,079
All it is, is noise.
You hear me?

482
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,631
They will love you
or they will hate you.

483
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,755
Does not matter.

484
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,713
'Cause either way, when you're
out there, you're on your own.

485
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,678
Jesse!

486
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,474
Do you hear me?

487
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,997
Yeah. Yeah,
Coach, I hear you.

488
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:07,995
Good.

489
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,116
About time.
All right, come on. Let's go.

490
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,519
You heard Coach.
They need the locker room.

491
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:12,794
Right.

492
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,272
Come on!
Move it! Let's go!

493
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,952
Jesus Christ, Snyder.

494
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,157
Why you always have
to complicate everything?

495
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,277
Thanks for your patience, Coach.
Locker room's all yours.

496
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,072
What in the hell
was that, Coach?

497
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,069
Okay, Dave.

498
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,593
All right. Let's see it.

499
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,479
That was for you.

500
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:38,953
No, that was
for you, shorty.

501
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,155
No, I'm good, Mel.

502
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,673
Come on.
You believe it?

503
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,909
Yeah, I saw.
You jump like my sister.

504
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,229
Like your sister?

505
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:45,998
Matter of fact, my daughter
can make that jump.

506
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,678
She's three years old.

507
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,797
Yeah, she's three inches taller than you.
Come on now.

508
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,593
Hey, shorty,
show us what you got.

509
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,273
Come on, Jesse.

510
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,634
Hey, what
would Ruth say?

511
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,109
Come on, Jesse.

512
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,476
Ah, make her proud now.

513
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,151
Yeah, shorty!

514
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,316
One jump.
One jump!

515
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,553
You better lower that.
I don't think...

516
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,119
No, pick it up.
Pick it up now.

517
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,316
Come on now.
Higher. Don't be shy.

518
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,039
I don't know what
he was thinking, though.

519
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,314
Right.
Mmm-hmm.

520
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,714
Who's that?

521
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,229
I think that's
his coach.

522
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,038
Coach.
Yeah?

523
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,272
I'm fine. Two days,
and I'll be right as rain.

524
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,237
You've got three days.

525
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,835
Three days from now, we go to Ann
Arbor with or without you. Got it?

526
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,673
Goddamn it.
What were you doing?

527
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:44,159
Training.
Fell down some steps.

528
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,112
Ladies and gentlemen,

529
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,079
welcome to Ferry Field
here in Ann Arbor, Michigan,

530
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,312
for the finals of the Big Ten
track and field conference

531
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,960
of 1935!

532
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,750
Hey, go
get dressed.

533
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:10,829
I'm scratching you.
You can't run.

534
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,960
Coach, I'm fine.
I'm good.

535
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,669
For God sakes, you
can barely walk, Jesse. Come on.

536
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,593
Coach, just let me do the 100.
You wanna pull me after that, then fine.

537
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,750
What? No.
No, no, no.

538
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,513
No, you run with an injured back,
you could be out for months.

539
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:23,635
All right?
Forget it.

540
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,760
Coach, let me do this.

541
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,235
The three days did the trick.
I'm good.

542
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,792
It'll only be 10 seconds.

543
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,352
Better be faster
than that. Go.

544
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,509
Ladies and gentlemen...

545
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,316
The first sprint
final of the day,

546
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,597
the 100-yard dash!

547
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,753
Negro!

548
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,755
They will love you
or they will hate you.

549
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,432
Does not matter.

550
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,592
'Cause either way, when you're
out there, you're on your own.

551
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,189
Set.

552
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,154
Hey, kid, you did it.
You did it.

553
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,593
I was slow
off the start.

554
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,994
No, no, no,
no. 9.3 seconds.

555
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:35,957
That's a record, kid.
9.3 seconds!

556
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,075
9.4.

557
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,280
What are you
talking about?

558
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,320
9.4, Larry.

559
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,475
No, I clocked it
myself at 9...

560
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:41,760
You know the rules.
What rules?

561
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,836
We have to go with the higher time.
What are you talking about?

562
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:44,989
What do you mean,
"the higher time"?

563
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,189
We got two
out of three agree.

564
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,315
Okay, then,
what's the problem?

565
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:48,475
Will you calm down?

566
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,915
Do you understand? I'm not gonna calm
down till you come to your senses

567
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,274
and give us the record!

568
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,720
We're going with
the higher time!

569
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,837
That's ridiculous!
You gotta be kidding me, Phil!

570
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,951
Look!
I see it, Coach.

571
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,392
Up next,
on the broad jump,

572
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:06,235
we have from Ohio
State University, Mr. Jesse Owens.

573
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,353
What's he doing?

574
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,556
What do you mean?
He's getting a feel for it.

575
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,596
Excuse me, sir.

576
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,394
Uh, how far did you say
that Chinaman could jump?

577
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:28,549
What, whoa.

578
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,074
Mr. Nambu is,
uh, Japanese.

579
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,837
His world record
stands at 26 feet and two inches.

580
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,595
Do you have a handkerchief
I could borrow?

581
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:44,680
Thanks.

582
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:49,600
Now he's just
showing off.

583
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,559
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a new world record.

584
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,309
Twenty-six feet, eight and
one quarter inches!

585
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,552
Twenty-six feet, eight and
one quarter inches!

586
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,352
Here you go.

587
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,871
Whoo!

588
00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:53,315
Mr. Jesse Owens
sets a new world record

589
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,312
with a time of 20.3 seconds!

590
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,234
20.3 seconds!

591
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,751
This is unbelievable!

592
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,997
Jesse Owens has smashed
another world record...

593
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,873
With a time of 22. 6 seconds!

594
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:21,833
Three world records set

595
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,629
and another tied
in just 45 minutes!

596
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,399
Is there anyone who
can beat Owens now?

597
00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:30,676
Jesse! Jesse! Jesse!

598
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,352
It's okay.
You can say it.

599
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,396
- Say what?
- Whenever you're ready.

600
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,513
Long ride back to Columbus.
Take your time.

601
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,553
Yeah, you're gonna have to
help me out here, Jesse.

602
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,596
I don't know what
you're talking about.

603
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,712
Really?
Yeah.

604
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,189
How many other natural
speed men you trained

605
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,875
just set three world records
in a single meet, hmm? Injured.

606
00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:58,232
Four, if you
count the 100.

607
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:01,471
I'll tell you what.
It gets worse than that.

608
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:02,754
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

609
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,308
You also shattered
the Ohio State record

610
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,829
for most points in
a single year, so congrats.

611
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,151
Really?
Mmm, yes, really.

612
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:12,912
Which cracker did
I take that off of?

613
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,359
This cracker.

614
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:17,635
Yeah.

615
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,630
I had that record
for 11 years.

616
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,196
Eleven years, and you
left me in the dust.

617
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,833
Yeah, well, you know what they
say about records, don't you?

618
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,473
No. What do
they say?

619
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,390
Some kid,
come out of nowhere,

620
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,476
snatch the record off of you,
just like that.

621
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,359
Oh, that saying. Yeah.

622
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:40,919
Mmm-hmm.
Mmm-hmm.

623
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,594
No, you did good.

624
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,313
Real good, Jesse.

625
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,311
That was something to watch.

626
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,511
Yeah, well,
I'll tell you what.

627
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,309
You stick with me, I'll make
a great coach out of you.

628
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,429
Frank Wykoff took gold
in Amsterdam in '28,

629
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,511
and again in '32
right here in LA.

630
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,950
Him and Draper, they're
the best Cromwell's got,

631
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,321
which make them pretty much
the best in the country, so...

632
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,391
Are you listening to me?
Yeah. Yeah.

633
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,516
Coach, I already
took Wykoff.

634
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:17,188
Yeah, well, this...

635
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,917
That's Eulace Peacock.

636
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,398
Peacock took the 100 meters and the
broad jump in Philadelphia.

637
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,755
He's a driver,
not a floater like you.

638
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,593
It's ugly to watch,
but he goes down that track

639
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,830
like a freight train on fire, and
he's got a hell of a finish.

640
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,195
Him, you need
to watch out for.

641
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,272
He clocked at 9.5
against Villanova.

642
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:36,999
There you go.
He's slower.

643
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,400
A tenth of
a second slower, Jesse.

644
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:39,913
Two-tenths, Coach.

645
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,274
Mmm-hmm.

646
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:44,153
Relax.

647
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:47,154
I won't let you down
in front of Cromwell.

648
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,151
Mr. Owens.

649
00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,600
One picture, please!

650
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,594
Mr. Owens, we have a couple
of questions for you.

651
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,079
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy, easy, easy,

652
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,680
easy, easy.
Come on, let us through.

653
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,398
How does it feel to be the
world's fastest human?

654
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:09,879
Excuse me.
Excuse me.

655
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,229
Owens.

656
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,236
Good afternoon,
and welcome to Los Angeles,

657
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,198
where the great Jesse Owens,
no doubt, hopes to make good

658
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,750
on his unprecedented streak
of four world records.

659
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,033
I'm telling you,
the skirt in LA...

660
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,840
They must be putting
something in the water.

661
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,593
Who drinks water?

662
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,278
Forget it, shorty. You might
get a girl like that to dance,

663
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,430
but you'll never
get her into bed.

664
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,631
You're Jesse Owens.

665
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,674
Yes, yes, ma'am.

666
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:50,999
Like to dance?

667
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,399
Come on, Jesse. Go!

668
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,357
Oh, no, I,
I got a girl.

669
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,153
Where is she?
I'll dance with her too.

670
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,519
She's in Ohio.

671
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,313
I like her already.

672
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:06,948
Whoo!
Go, Jesse.

673
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:09,589
Go on, shorty!

674
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,711
So, how come
it's Jesse?

675
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:39,754
Excuse me?

676
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,992
You're The
Buckeye Bullet.

677
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,629
Born James Cleveland Owens,
September 1913, in Oakville, Alabama.

678
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,673
You've won eight out of eight
events since you got here,

679
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,035
and there's nobody that can
touch you in the west coast,

680
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,759
east coast, or straight
down the middle.

681
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,071
What I don't
know is, why Jesse?

682
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:01,109
Uh, well,
it's actually "JC."

683
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,037
My elementary school teacher, she
misheard on account of my accent.

684
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,270
I never had the heart
to put her right.

685
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,751
That's too bad.
How so?

686
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,955
A big heart can
get in the way.

687
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:18,709
Of what?

688
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:21,512
All kinds of fun.

689
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,910
Allow me to say
how pleased we all are

690
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,792
we have met
your expectations.

691
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,871
Everything looks swell.

692
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,999
Let's keep it that way
through next summer, hmm?

693
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,993
The AAU is set to decide on
US participation in the games

694
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,240
at its December convention.

695
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:13,435
That's right.

696
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,112
I wonder, Avery,

697
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,353
do you really think
America will withdraw?

698
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,836
Well, we have to vote.
That's what a democracy is.

699
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,191
Yes, of course.

700
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,432
The minister Goebbels
merely asks for reassurance

701
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,999
we can count
on your support.

702
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,752
Oh, I've made
my position clear.

703
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,878
In the meantime,

704
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:41,192
might we ask that you
grant us the benefit

705
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,193
of your considerable
experience in construction,

706
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:48,555
and review these plans of our
new embassy in Washington?

707
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,195
You know,
last time I looked,

708
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,550
I was worth close on
$15 million.

709
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,156
You tell him I
can't be bought.

710
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,632
You can't afford me.

711
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,035
A bribe? No. No.

712
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,873
A business proposal.

713
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,230
The minister would be
greatly obliged to you.

714
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,716
There aren't many
companies like yours

715
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,751
that could handle
a project of this size.

716
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:18,352
Well...

717
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,315
The architect
is Albert Speer.

718
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,234
Hmm.

719
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:28,949
Impressive.

720
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,552
But these towers
won't pass DC zoning laws.

721
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,228
You can't build
higher than 130 feet.

722
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,912
You see, this is exactly the
kind of expertise we need,

723
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,797
if you're interested.

724
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,712
Whoo-wee! I am beat.

725
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:55,873
You look beautiful.

726
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,678
Just be glad we
weren't on the bus.

727
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,637
My daddy didn't
buy me this car

728
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,631
to watch me
take no damn buses.

729
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,596
Uh, Mr. Owens,
sir. Telegram.

730
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,676
She can't
sue you, Jesse.

731
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,158
How is she gonna sue you?

732
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,668
And for what?

733
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,791
Breach of promise?

734
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,951
What does it even mean?

735
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,671
It's a threat.
That's all.

736
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,190
She's just angry.

737
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,479
Hello.

738
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:57,999
Mr. Solomon? It's Jesse.

739
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,433
Jesse, what you want, boy?

740
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:00,879
Well, can I speak
with Ruth, sir?

741
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,353
She don't wanna
talk to you...

742
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,920
I understand that, but if you
just give me one second to exp...

743
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,797
Don't call here no more!
If she would just...

744
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:16,509
Jesse.

745
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,792
Go, Jesse!

746
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:34,156
You can do it!

747
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,633
Take your mark.

748
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,591
I'm gonna beat you, boy,
like I was your daddy.

749
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:51,719
Set!

750
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,879
Eulace Peacock has beaten

751
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,838
the world's fastest human,
Jesse Owens,

752
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,276
with an incredible
time of 10.2 seconds.

753
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,835
Hi.

754
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,519
You alone?

755
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:40,913
Mmm-hmm.
Hmm.

756
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:48,508
So, you, uh, you wanna tell
me why you lost today?

757
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:52,438
I thought that
was your job.

758
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,189
I know how you lost.

759
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,999
You looked for him at 90 meters,
and it cost you the race.

760
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,355
He's got no goddamn
business beating you.

761
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:01,549
Who, Peacock?

762
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:02,675
Yeah, or Metcalfe.

763
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:03,869
Yeah, well, it happened.

764
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,075
All right?

765
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,632
I had a bad day.

766
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,316
Look, I'm tired, Coach.

767
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,554
We've got a 15-hour
ride back to Ohio.

768
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,916
I just wanna drink my
beer and get some rest.

769
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:21,429
Hmm.

770
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,151
Actually, if you keep
losing like you did today,

771
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,632
that boat's going to leave
for Berlin without you.

772
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,240
You know what, Coach?
If this is going

773
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:32,800
to be another one
of your sob stories,

774
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,239
then, if it's all
the same to you,

775
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,793
I'd rather just
hear it tomorrow.

776
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,274
Look,

777
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,676
Miss Nickerson seems like a...

778
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,519
Nice enough gal.

779
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,190
I don't judge what you do,

780
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,954
just as long as you
feel all right about it.

781
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:00,036
The choices you're
making right now

782
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,191
won't even feel like choices,
until it's too late.

783
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:14,438
You ever been
married, Coach?

784
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,515
Yeah.

785
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,872
Our little girl's
all grown up now.

786
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,030
Turns 18 next year.

787
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,718
My wife and I are
taking some time off.

788
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:30,913
She told me,

789
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,672
"You can't have
two families.

790
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:36,790
"There's no room
on the team for us."

791
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,159
Think track and field's hard,
you should try marriage.

792
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,477
I'd like to
give it a shot.

793
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,192
Good for you, kid.

794
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,750
You never told me
you had a daughter.

795
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:04,599
You never asked.

796
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:28,509
Hurry up.

797
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:30,955
I wanna get to Des
Moines by morning.

798
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,109
Look, Quincella.

799
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:46,150
You are, you're
an amazing girl, truly.

800
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:48,755
And it's,
it's been a real...

801
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:50,398
Screw you, Jesse Owens!

802
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:52,917
I hope she's worth it!

803
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,077
I've got to see Ruth.
I've got some explaining to do.

804
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,151
Mmm-hmm. Good luck with that.

805
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,315
Ruth?

806
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,715
I'm so sorry,
Ruth. I...

807
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:10,196
Look,
I swear I'm gonna...

808
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,350
Do you remember
the day we first met?

809
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,389
I carried your
books home from school?

810
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,750
And the whole way,
we was...

811
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,431
We was talking
about this and

812
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:46,200
about that,

813
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,792
and what we
wanted out of life,

814
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:50,354
and what we didn't.

815
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,509
Do you remember what I
asked you at your door?

816
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,032
You asked me
to marry you.

817
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,431
And do you remember
what you said?

818
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:06,792
I said we should wait.

819
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,232
Well, I'm done waiting.

820
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,120
I wanna marry you,
Minnie Ruth Solomon.

821
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,634
I did then and I want
it twice as bad now.

822
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:19,599
I'm a fool.

823
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,600
When that boy
asked me to marry him,

824
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,479
I should've said yes.

825
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:29,752
But you ain't
him no more.

826
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:33,758
Now, go on
and get out of here.

827
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:36,914
Ruth...
Get out of here!

828
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,116
You keepin' all these people waiting.
Just get out, Jesse.

829
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,519
Get out!

830
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:53,154
Whoo! Look at
all this rain.

831
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,193
What do you
think you're doing?

832
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:03,838
Waiting to
walk you home.

833
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:05,753
You been out
here all day?

834
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,796
Yeah and I'll be out here
all day tomorrow, too,

835
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,472
all week
if I got to.

836
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,755
Then you'll just
miss your damn races.

837
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,353
I don't care
about that.

838
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,512
I just wanna run, I can do
that right here in Cleveland.

839
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,831
Jesse, you wanna work in a service
station the rest of your life?

840
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,076
Well, if it means I
get to be with you.

841
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:24,679
Oh, you're smooth.

842
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:26,873
Yes, you are.

843
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,234
Marry me.

844
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,274
You crazy?

845
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:32,272
Right now,
let's do it.

846
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,150
My parents hate
your damn guts.

847
00:55:35,240 --> 00:55:37,196
You left me with
our daughter, Jesse.

848
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,430
It's a little late to make
an honest woman out of me.

849
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,239
Look, I'll square with your parents.
Just say yes.

850
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,399
Say you'll marry me.

851
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,111
Where are we gonna
get married, Jesse?

852
00:55:49,240 --> 00:55:52,040
You think there's a decent Christian
minister in this town who'll do it?

853
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:53,360
I haven't thought
about that yet,

854
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:54,640
but I'll find
a place, I swear.

855
00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,758
It's just us, Ruth.

856
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,631
It's always
been just us.

857
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,554
All right.
I'll marry you.

858
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,552
Where you going?

859
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,318
I gotta go find
a guy to do it.

860
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:20,989
I'll see you later!

861
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:36,593
Gentlemen, today we
make a profound decision.

862
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,631
It is a complicated decision.

863
00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:42,392
For all of you, I know.

864
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,392
A vote today

865
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,110
against our
American athletes

866
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,636
participating
in these Olympics

867
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,753
is a vote
against tyranny.

868
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,197
Anybody who competes,

869
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,356
in any event,
any level,

870
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,273
knows that

871
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:08,517
on any given day, you're going
to win or you're going to lose.

872
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:10,513
What matters

873
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:12,839
is you were there.

874
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,152
When it's all over,
everybody goes home.

875
00:57:15,240 --> 00:57:17,435
History remembers the winners.

876
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,391
Every man or
woman on that field

877
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,597
is grateful for
the chance to be there,

878
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,196
to meet in the spirit
of friendly competition,

879
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,872
man against man,

880
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:31,439
nation against nation,

881
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,112
to test themselves

882
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,714
without fear or rancor

883
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,118
against the best the
other side has to offer.

884
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:42,636
Surely we all
agree the Olympic code

885
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,473
is a direct antithesis

886
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,438
to Nazi ideology.

887
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,715
They're who we ought
to be thinking about.

888
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:51,558
Our athletes,

889
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,473
those putting their sweat,
their blood,

890
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,154
their heart into
getting that chance.

891
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,840
I don't feel I have the right
to take it away from them.

892
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:02,832
I know when I was competing,
I wouldn't have wanted it taken from me.

893
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,718
And whether they
bring home medals or not,

894
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,030
they'll all have
won that chance.

895
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,395
I urge you to vote today

896
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,916
not with your
hearts as sporting men.

897
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:16,149
...to tell their children...

898
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:17,878
...but with
your conscience...

899
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,996
...and their
children's children...

900
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,957
...as members of
the human race.

901
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:24,039
"I was there."

902
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,432
What happened to you?

903
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,194
Is that the, uh, Citizen?
Come here. Let me see it.

904
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:58,311
Fifty-eight to fifty-six.

905
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,392
Congratulations.

906
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,198
I respect their decision...

907
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,719
...but in all conscience,
I can't be the one to carry it out.

908
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,478
Go get us that
gold medal, you hear?

909
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:25,954
Yes.

910
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:29,193
Hey!

911
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:33,076
Hey! How about
that, huh?

912
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,236
Hope you win, Jesse!

913
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:36,992
Go, Jesse!

914
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:43,753
Good evening, y'all.

915
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:45,639
Evening.

916
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:50,671
Jesse, this is Representative Davis
of the Ohio State legislature.

917
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,957
He's here on
behalf of the NAACP.

918
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:55,758
The what?

919
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:59,516
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.

920
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,835
Oh, well, hello.
This is my wife, Ruth.

921
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,797
Hello.
Have a seat.

922
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,235
Our secretary,
Mr. Walter White,

923
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,790
has asked me to deliver
this to you personally

924
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:12,393
with his best wishes.

925
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:14,949
All right.

926
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:16,629
What's this about?

927
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:21,797
I want to congratulate
you on your many recent successes.

928
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:23,632
I've been following them

929
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,633
with great and
particular interest.

930
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,556
As all of us in
our community have.

931
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:35,593
Well, thank you.

932
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,992
And, uh, the Olympic trials,
well, they're coming up soon.

933
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:40,428
Yes, sir.

934
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:42,039
A little under
five weeks.

935
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:47,270
Well, no doubt you hope
to qualify and take part?

936
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:51,958
Well, yeah.

937
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:53,473
I mean, yes, sir.

938
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:54,993
Even under
the Hitler regime?

939
01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:02,357
On behalf of Mr. White
and his organization

940
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,557
and the Negro
community across America,

941
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,237
I hope you don't go.

942
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:14,559
But this is the
Olympic games.

943
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,108
I mean, Jesse's been training
for this his whole life.

944
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,873
Look, Jesse, you're the best.

945
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,598
You have a chance to
strike a powerful blow.

946
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:29,388
I know that it must
sound hypocritical

947
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,311
for any American

948
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,474
to talk about
racial bigotry

949
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:35,913
in other countries,

950
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,355
but that is
the whole reason

951
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,000
we must not go
to these games.

952
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:43,432
We've got a chance here

953
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,317
to show our solidarity

954
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,675
with the oppressed
people of Germany.

955
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,197
It's all a part of
the same great hatred.

956
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,551
We can make
those in power

957
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,279
aware of their
moral obligation

958
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,550
to fight against
the wrongs

959
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,473
that we Negroes
suffer right here at home.

960
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:07,870
You think it's gonna make
a damn bit of difference?

961
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:13,350
He stays,
they ain't gonna notice.

962
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:15,714
He goes,

963
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,196
he can come back with a
drawer full of medals,

964
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,272
and they will hate him
even worse than before.

965
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:25,834
J.C.

966
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,833
Do what you want, now.
You understand me?

967
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,549
It ain't gonna make
no difference no how.

968
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,433
Do you run, Mr. Davis?

969
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:48,395
Do I?

970
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:50,474
Well, um,

971
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:53,474
not competitively, no.

972
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:55,594
Figures.

973
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,197
'Cause you know, out there on that
track, you're free of all this.

974
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,040
The moment that gun go off,
can't nothing stop me.

975
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:06,108
Not color,

976
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:07,833
not money,

977
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,158
not fear,
not even hate.

978
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,670
There ain't no black and white.
There's only fast and slow.

979
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:21,439
For those 10 seconds,
you are completely free.

980
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,198
Now, here you come
telling me I can't do it,

981
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:28,391
that I'm letting
down my race if I go.

982
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,317
What's that supposed
to do for me?

983
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,793
God gave you
a great gift, Mr. Owens.

984
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,588
Maybe he can tell
you what to do with it.

985
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,110
You don't have to tell
them what's on your mind.

986
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,078
He's my coach.
I gotta say something.

987
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,195
Joe is ahead as we
go into round four

988
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,317
of this 15-round bout between Joe Louis,
the Brown Bomber,

989
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,152
ad ex-heavyweight champion
Max Schmeling...

990
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,993
Hey. Hey! Guys, come on. You're
missing the fight. Get over here.

991
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:02,479
Come on, let's go.

992
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,080
...just a warm-up for Louis.

993
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:07,279
Louis hardly seems to
know what he's doing.

994
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:10,068
He's dazed, hurt,

995
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:12,509
fighting mechanically.

996
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:13,919
Come on, come on.

997
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:18,520
Louis is down.

998
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:20,680
Get up.

999
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:23,280
The official timekeeper is counting
the seconds across the ring.

1000
01:04:24,480 --> 01:04:25,520
That's it.
It's a knockout.

1001
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:29,516
- What happened?
- The Nazi beat him.

1002
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,352
He beat Joe Louis.
I don't believe it.

1003
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:32,509
Well,

1004
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,950
there's only one
thing to do now, right?

1005
01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,834
We go over there in
three weeks to Berlin,

1006
01:04:38,920 --> 01:04:41,275
we get some payback in their house.
Am I right?

1007
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:42,759
That's right.

1008
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,274
Alvin Kraenzlein.
Alvin Kraenzlein.

1009
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,868
The greatest athlete that this
country's ever produced.

1010
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,520
Kraenzlein's the only
track and field athlete

1011
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:52,397
to ever bring home four
medals from a single games.

1012
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,392
Now, me personally,
I may not get to beat Alvin Kraenzlein,

1013
01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,631
so I guess I'll just settle for
coaching the guy who does.

1014
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,400
Shorty won't get four. You seen
the way he go over them hurdles?

1015
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:03,949
I'm not going.

1016
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:05,760
Like a bullfrog
with his ass on fire.

1017
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,030
What did you say,
kid? Huh?

1018
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,793
I said I don't
know if I can go.

1019
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:15,429
To Berlin?

1020
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:17,838
What the hell are
you talking about?

1021
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:20,878
I mean, well,
think about it.

1022
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,997
I go down to Berlin,
it's like telling them Nazis it's okay,

1023
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,400
like I don't care nothing about
what's going on over there.

1024
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:29,877
Hey, I get it.
You're nervous, kid.

1025
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:31,638
No, Coach.
Look, I've thought this through.

1026
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:32,835
Now, come on.
You're going, okay?

1027
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,070
Trust me. Believe me.
You're going. That's it.

1028
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:36,428
All right?
You've worked too hard.

1029
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,909
And if you don't go over there,
you're gonna feel awful.

1030
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:40,800
All right? If you were
to pull out now, you...

1031
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:43,035
Yeah, I know. I'll regret it for
the rest of my life, right?

1032
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:44,189
Exactly. Yes, sir.

1033
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:47,877
And my wife,
she'll walk out on me,

1034
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:49,877
'cause she realizes
what a loser I really am.

1035
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,871
And I'll probably end up
drinking myself stupid

1036
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,554
until my coach, he gets so
sick of the sight of me

1037
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:57,750
that he gives
me a goddamn job!

1038
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:05,832
Larry!

1039
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:07,319
You get a chance to
be a part of history,

1040
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:08,879
and you're gonna
walk away from it, huh?

1041
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:09,995
Throw it away?

1042
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:12,630
Look, I got people looking
at me for an example.

1043
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,837
What do you mean, people?
What people? Black people?

1044
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,039
Come on. I don't give
a shit about any of that!

1045
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:20,718
Yeah, well,
you're white!

1046
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:23,319
You don't have to!

1047
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:29,715
Come on.

1048
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:51,832
It's okay.

1049
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:20,955
Mmm.

1050
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,232
Ah!

1051
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:37,633
What happened to you?

1052
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:39,518
Look, you're right
to be angry.

1053
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,474
I've, uh, never been
good at listening.

1054
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,518
They're asking
too much of you.

1055
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:47,995
A man competes to prove
something to himself.

1056
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,116
That he's the best
he knows how to be.

1057
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:53,873
Nothing else matters.

1058
01:08:54,800 --> 01:08:55,869
It just...

1059
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:00,356
Jesse, I don't know
anything about the kind

1060
01:09:00,480 --> 01:09:02,516
of pressure that's being
put on you right now.

1061
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:04,716
But I do know what it's
like to be an athlete.

1062
01:09:06,440 --> 01:09:07,873
And I know that
if you don't go,

1063
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:10,870
it's gonna feel like the biggest
mistake you ever made in your life.

1064
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,149
Maybe.

1065
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,750
But you gotta let
me make it on my own.

1066
01:09:19,440 --> 01:09:20,793
All right.

1067
01:09:24,480 --> 01:09:28,678
You don't have to decide anything
just yet, but at least do the trials.

1068
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:29,829
Qualify.

1069
01:09:30,440 --> 01:09:32,112
Give yourself the option.

1070
01:09:44,480 --> 01:09:45,993
It has been quite a day

1071
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:47,673
for you here
in New York, Mr. Owens.

1072
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,398
You have qualified
in three events,

1073
01:09:49,480 --> 01:09:52,119
the 100 and 200 meter
sprints and the broad jump.

1074
01:09:52,200 --> 01:09:55,237
I'd like to ask the coaches,
who are the guys you've gotta beat?

1075
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,356
Well, Carl Long,
the broad jumper.

1076
01:09:57,440 --> 01:09:59,749
We're keeping
a real close eye on him.

1077
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:02,678
And, you know, I mean, the guy's
got every damn record in Europe.

1078
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,110
Mr. Glickman, Mr. Stoller,
as Jewish Americans,

1079
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:09,317
did you ever feel pressure not to
take part in these games in Germany?

1080
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,038
For the record,
the only pressure

1081
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:12,798
they're under is
winning their races.

1082
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:14,677
We don't discriminate
on the US Olympic team.

1083
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:16,920
I think we've heard
enough about politics today.

1084
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:18,109
We're here to
talk about medals.

1085
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:19,349
They need to
answer the question.

1086
01:10:19,440 --> 01:10:21,670
Mr. Owens, so,
does this mean you're going?

1087
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:26,876
How can you
justify taking part in Germany

1088
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,030
when there's so much
discrimination here at home?

1089
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,236
You know, that's a very good point.

1090
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:34,160
When we get our
own house in order...

1091
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,356
Whatever you need from me,
wherever you need me to be,

1092
01:10:44,440 --> 01:10:46,317
whatever you need me to do.
I just wanna help.

1093
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:48,238
Well, that's, uh,

1094
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:50,240
very nice of you to
offer there, Larry,

1095
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,590
but, uh, you're not
an official American coach.

1096
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:55,910
Yeah, but you don't
know Jesse like I do.

1097
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:59,037
Now, Mr. Owens is not the
only runner coming with us,

1098
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,793
and this isn't
our first games.

1099
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,997
Jesse Owens can beat any
sprinter over any distance,

1100
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:06,354
and you know it.

1101
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,352
You can't afford to
have him off his form.

1102
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,320
Oh, so you're saying
he needs the best coach.

1103
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,118
Is that what
you're saying, Larry?

1104
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:20,313
Thanks all the same.

1105
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,475
You should know he may not
get on that boat tomorrow,

1106
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:30,790
and there's nothing
anybody can do about it.

1107
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,317
I couldn't believe when I
heard you got injured, Eulace.

1108
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:54,632
How's the leg
holding up?

1109
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:56,074
It's good!

1110
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:57,280
It's loose.

1111
01:11:57,720 --> 01:11:59,631
Yup, tore the
hamstring right up.

1112
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,072
But I'm training again,
so a couple months...

1113
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,239
It's shot.

1114
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:14,314
It's over.

1115
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:16,114
For me.

1116
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:22,912
I read the papers.

1117
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,228
All them people yelling
and screaming at you.

1118
01:12:26,480 --> 01:12:28,630
It can really get in the way
of a man's concentration,

1119
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,837
but all that means is there's a
lot of people counting on you.

1120
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:32,920
To do what?

1121
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:35,918
To get on over there to Berlin
and stick it up Hitler's ass!

1122
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:38,108
Courtesy

1123
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:41,113
of Eulace Peacock.

1124
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:36,873
Ruth.

1125
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:39,069
Ruth.

1126
01:13:53,440 --> 01:13:55,829
What'll she think
of me if I don't go?

1127
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,910
You're her daddy.
She gonna love you no matter what.

1128
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:05,033
And what'll you think?

1129
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:07,870
Don't put this
on me, Jesse.

1130
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,270
I promised you a better
life than what we have now.

1131
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,669
I mean, how else am
I supposed to get it?

1132
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:15,756
I like our
life just fine.

1133
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:21,918
You're the only damn person in the
world whose opinion matters to me,

1134
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:23,274
and you
ain't got one.

1135
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,074
I ain't gonna tell
you what to do, Jesse.

1136
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:28,312
That's why
you love me.

1137
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:33,869
Jesse?

1138
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:37,908
Say I go.

1139
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:40,793
What if I lose?

1140
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:43,472
You're the fastest
man on the Earth.

1141
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:44,788
But you
won't be there.

1142
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,992
My family won't be there.
My coach won't even be there.

1143
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:50,277
Larry's not going?
No.

1144
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:52,391
He tried, but
they won't let him.

1145
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:57,076
I'm gonna be
there all by myself,

1146
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:59,512
the whole world watching.

1147
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:03,398
And if I lose...

1148
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:09,919
If I lose,

1149
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,315
it'll mean those
Nazis were right.

1150
01:15:19,440 --> 01:15:22,591
Quit thinking so much, Jesse.
It's not what you're good at.

1151
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:25,437
You was put
here to run.

1152
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,196
Don't listen
to any of them.

1153
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:30,399
Listen to you.

1154
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,278
You listen to your heart,
all right?

1155
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:38,915
Okay?

1156
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,199
Ruth, I have everything,
all right?

1157
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:53,794
I'm sure.

1158
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:02,794
Now, I'm always
saying goodbye to you.

1159
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:07,471
Yeah, well, that just makes it
that much sweeter saying hello.

1160
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:10,635
Now, here you go,
sweet talker.

1161
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,349
So you remember
where to keep looking.

1162
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:23,759
Give Daddy a hug!

1163
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:33,959
I love you both.

1164
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:35,559
I love you.

1165
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,556
You get your sea legs yet?

1166
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:08,112
Coach? What the hell
are you doing here?

1167
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,270
I mean, someone's gotta
keep an eye on you.

1168
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,749
Can't have you laying around
all week getting fat.

1169
01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,033
No turning back now.

1170
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:22,278
I'm gonna go
find my room.

1171
01:17:24,440 --> 01:17:26,635
Coach.
You're headed the wrong way.

1172
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:28,392
Everybody's in
first class.

1173
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:32,959
Yeah, not on my own dime.
No, I, uh,

1174
01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:36,237
be staying
down in steerage

1175
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:38,479
with you and Dave.

1176
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:41,513
See you in
the morning.

1177
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:08,908
You're kidding me!

1178
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:11,399
How do you do?

1179
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:15,553
Let's go, Jesse!

1180
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:20,398
Ladies and gentlemen,

1181
01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:23,313
on behalf of Reich
chancellor Adolf Hitler

1182
01:20:23,400 --> 01:20:27,075
and the German Olympic Committee,
welcome to Berlin.

1183
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:43,195
Here, take a flower!

1184
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:44,389
Thank you!

1185
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:04,911
Come on, Marty.
Shalom!

1186
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:21,554
Uh, sir, where are
the colored dorms?

1187
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:22,959
There are no
colored dorms.

1188
01:21:29,480 --> 01:21:30,674
We're with y'all?

1189
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:32,520
Now, don't worry.
We'll keep the noise down!

1190
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:47,278
Well, well, well.

1191
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:00,959
Food's good too.

1192
01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:03,679
Maybe these Nazis just
got a bad reputation.

1193
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:07,909
We'll see.

1194
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:10,713
That's Luz Long?

1195
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:12,233
Uh-huh.

1196
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:16,593
The man can jump.

1197
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:18,675
Yeah.

1198
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,120
He's got a hell of a
home-field advantage, too.

1199
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:38,631
What do you think this is?
Mardi Gras?

1200
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:40,273
Get back to work!

1201
01:23:43,480 --> 01:23:45,436
You got something
you wanna say to me, boy?

1202
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:48,120
Hmm?

1203
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:52,039
Now, hold on a second.

1204
01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:54,236
"You're not fit to
train fleas on a dog."

1205
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,436
You actually said
that to Dean Cromwell?

1206
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:02,712
Hey, you hear
the mouth on this boy?

1207
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:03,755
Now, Dean,
hold on a second.

1208
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:04,955
Don't know what
you're teachin' him,

1209
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:06,189
but it sure as
hell isn't respect.

1210
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:07,679
All right, all right.
Now, what's this about?

1211
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:08,760
What is it you want?

1212
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:11,155
I want a goddamn apology.
That's what I want.

1213
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:12,829
Jesse.

1214
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:14,273
Jesse, what
do you want?

1215
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:18,397
I wanna be able to
train the way I'm used to.

1216
01:24:18,480 --> 01:24:20,038
Oh, for God's sake.

1217
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:21,314
And I want
my coach back.

1218
01:24:21,440 --> 01:24:23,237
You're out of your mind. No way.
That's out of the question.

1219
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:25,788
Mr. Snyder is not
a registered Olympic trainer.

1220
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:28,348
All right.

1221
01:24:28,440 --> 01:24:31,238
Well, I hope you know all the words
to the German national anthem,

1222
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:33,000
because you'll be
hearing it every time one

1223
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,680
of those Nazis win
a medal I would've won.

1224
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:35,994
You wanna quit?

1225
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,548
You go ahead, because no Negro
is gonna talk to me that way...

1226
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,073
Hey, hey. Now, what the
hell's that got to do with...

1227
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:41,520
That's got everything
to do with it.

1228
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:42,549
Oh, come on.
You're making it about that.

1229
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,113
You weren't there.
You didn't hear what he said to me.

1230
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:45,394
Enough.

1231
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:49,198
Jesse, you
don't mean that.

1232
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,670
You're not about
to walk out now?

1233
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:01,600
Okay.

1234
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:03,873
Okay, fine.

1235
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:08,070
Look, if we can get a pass
for Mr. Snyder here,

1236
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,397
we can put all
of this behind us.

1237
01:25:11,880 --> 01:25:13,916
Hey, Jesse?

1238
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:17,874
Yeah.

1239
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:24,112
You better keep
your boy on a leash.

1240
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:25,474
Dean.

1241
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:34,592
What the hell
was that all about?

1242
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:37,200
What?

1243
01:25:37,280 --> 01:25:38,998
What?

1244
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,949
I figured you couldn't afford a decent
seat. I thought I'd help you out.

1245
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,634
And here I am thinking this
is your way of thanking me.

1246
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:49,711
I wouldn't even
know where to start.

1247
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:55,549
Bring me three gold medals.
That's the only way.

1248
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:57,960
Come on.

1249
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:05,350
Hey, how are the new shoes
I ordered you from England?

1250
01:26:05,440 --> 01:26:06,668
They never showed up.

1251
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:20,229
Hi. You know
where this is here?

1252
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:21,360
Hello, hello.

1253
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:25,559
Never mind. Sorry.

1254
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:53,120
Excuse me.

1255
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:54,434
I... Whoa.

1256
01:26:57,440 --> 01:26:58,634
American.

1257
01:26:59,880 --> 01:27:02,474
No, I, I'm American.
I'm American.

1258
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:04,320
American.

1259
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:07,473
I'm from the US Olympic team.

1260
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:09,868
Hey! Hey, hey, hey!

1261
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,080
I got it, okay?
I've got papers.

1262
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:15,639
Yes. Here.
Here, here, here.

1263
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,516
American.
US Olympic team.

1264
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:25,392
I'm, I'm looking for,
uh, Dassler.

1265
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:27,198
Dassler.
Adi Dassler.

1266
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:28,918
Dassler?
Dassler, yeah.

1267
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:32,790
Yes. Yes.
Shoe. Yeah.

1268
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:45,353
Don't push.

1269
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:47,433
Please.

1270
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:48,520
Good.

1271
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:55,432
Okay. Okay.
Here we go.

1272
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:57,758
It's gonna be
damp out there.

1273
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:00,598
The track's
gonna be heavy.

1274
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:01,680
Yeah?

1275
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:04,395
How are the shoes?

1276
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:06,079
They're great.
Good.

1277
01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,116
Good, good, good.

1278
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:11,317
Oh, gosh, I wish you would've had
more time to break them in though.

1279
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,118
I don't know
what happened there.

1280
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:14,713
I'm gonna get to the bottom of that.
That's another...

1281
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,033
Coach, I said
they're all right.

1282
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:21,231
You gonna keep
fussing like an old hen,

1283
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:23,231
or are you gonna let me
get out there and run?

1284
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,872
Mr. Owens,
I'm expecting great things.

1285
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:34,677
Anything less than a gold,
we will consider a disappointment.

1286
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:38,755
I'm sure
he was joking.

1287
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:40,876
Thanks, Coach.
You're a lot of help.

1288
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,359
...Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler.

1289
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:38,595
Sieg heil! Sieg heil!

1290
01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,638
Sieg heil!
Sieg heil! Sieg heil!

1291
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,797
The winner of the men's
100-meter finals

1292
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:27,678
is Jesse Owens
in first place

1293
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:29,119
with a time of
10.3 seconds.

1294
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:30,514
Whoo!

1295
01:33:55,520 --> 01:33:57,158
Whoo-hoo!

1296
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:02,994
Coach!

1297
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:04,439
Outstanding!
Outstanding!

1298
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:05,794
Come on,
let me see it.

1299
01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:08,953
Congratulations.

1300
01:34:11,400 --> 01:34:12,799
Mr. Owens.

1301
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:14,438
Thank you, sir.

1302
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:18,839
Now, there's somebody
I want you to meet.

1303
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:20,559
All right.

1304
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:21,948
Here.

1305
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:24,558
Hey.

1306
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:27,070
Oh! Thanks.

1307
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:07,993
Herr Brundage.

1308
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:09,873
Hmm.

1309
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:13,598
Chancellor Hitler has been
forced to leave early today,

1310
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:15,796
and won't be able to
congratulate the winners.

1311
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:19,115
The traffic,
you understand.

1312
01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:41,830
You let the
chancellor know

1313
01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:46,159
he congratulates all of the
gold medalists or none of them.

1314
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:50,319
Herr Brundage...

1315
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:09,872
Regrettably,
it is impossible.

1316
01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:17,188
Then he's...

1317
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:23,874
Come on.

1318
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:56,556
Time to go over the rules
here for tomorrow.

1319
01:36:56,640 --> 01:37:00,394
You should know they're very
particular about their attempts here.

1320
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:08,440
So none of that showboating you
tried to pull in Ann Arbor.

1321
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:10,472
Yeah.
You listening to me?

1322
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:15,348
We're here at
the 11 th Olympiad,

1323
01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:17,556
bringing you
the qualifying round

1324
01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:19,756
of the men's
broad jump event.

1325
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:23,432
Up first, the German,

1326
01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:26,910
Luz Long, reigning
European champion.

1327
01:37:36,440 --> 01:37:39,193
And he's making
it look easy!

1328
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:45,957
Now it's time
for Jesse Owens of the USA.

1329
01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:48,675
We've seen this
before from Owens.

1330
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:51,598
He wants to
examine the track...

1331
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:52,795
Easy.

1332
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:54,040
...before his first attempt.

1333
01:37:54,320 --> 01:37:56,788
Owens, kneeling
on the run-up.

1334
01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:02,389
Jesse, no!

1335
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:04,800
It's a foul!

1336
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:10,952
I don't believe it!
They've recorded it as a foul!

1337
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:14,314
Owens questioning
the officials.

1338
01:38:14,440 --> 01:38:16,795
He's not going to
be happy about this!

1339
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:19,960
Still, he has two more attempts.

1340
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:25,552
Owens makes his
second attempt to qualify.

1341
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:28,709
Come on, Jesse!

1342
01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:33,837
Another foul!

1343
01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:36,596
He stepped over the line!

1344
01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:41,952
This event looks like it might be
over for Owens before it begins.

1345
01:38:54,520 --> 01:38:55,999
Wait.

1346
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:58,719
Here's something you
don't see every day.

1347
01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:02,872
Long seems to be
offering Owens advice

1348
01:39:03,360 --> 01:39:05,032
on where to jump from.

1349
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:10,834
Owens, making his third and final attempt.

1350
01:39:13,040 --> 01:39:16,316
Owens, Owens...

1351
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:21,314
He's done it!

1352
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:24,358
And Owens is through
to the final!

1353
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:52,199
Sieg heil! Sieg heil!

1354
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:01,115
The men's broad jump final.

1355
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:05,912
German chancellor Adolf Hitler
takes his seat for the event.

1356
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:08,992
And after a close-run
qualifying round,

1357
01:40:09,080 --> 01:40:12,516
the great athlete
Jesse Owens of the USA

1358
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,068
faces up against Luz Long.

1359
01:40:15,320 --> 01:40:18,153
Each competitor will
have three attempts,

1360
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,232
with his best score
determining the winner.

1361
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:25,310
Long's first jump.

1362
01:40:25,440 --> 01:40:27,908
The reigning European champion.

1363
01:40:31,440 --> 01:40:32,998
It's a white flag.

1364
01:40:34,440 --> 01:40:37,034
7.54 meters!

1365
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:41,400
Owens...

1366
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:49,471
His, too, a white flag!

1367
01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:57,316
7.74 meters!

1368
01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:00,551
Long again.

1369
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:08,078
The white flag is up.

1370
01:41:10,520 --> 01:41:12,670
7.87 meters.

1371
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,274
It's a new European record!

1372
01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:17,789
Yeah! Whoo!

1373
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:29,552
Owens...

1374
01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:37,111
The white flag is up!

1375
01:41:38,120 --> 01:41:41,078
7.94!

1376
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:42,229
Incredible.

1377
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:47,155
Owens has beaten the European
record set only moments ago!

1378
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:52,511
Let's see what Long
can produce to match it.

1379
01:41:56,120 --> 01:41:58,429
Oh, it's a foul!

1380
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:04,356
A foul from Long on
his final attempt.

1381
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:10,553
But it means
Owens has done it!

1382
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:15,077
He's secured a second
gold medal of the games!

1383
01:42:21,040 --> 01:42:22,712
That was
a great match.

1384
01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:28,874
Please, take
your last jump.

1385
01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:35,312
What's this?
The competition is over,

1386
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:37,516
but the German
Long seems to share

1387
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:39,835
the interest of
the crowd here in Berlin,

1388
01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:44,199
in seeing the best the
amazing Owens has to offer.

1389
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:45,395
USA! USA!

1390
01:42:45,480 --> 01:42:47,869
This is the true
spirit of sportsmanship

1391
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:51,669
we're seeing here between
these two athletes today.

1392
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:09,477
The white flag is up!

1393
01:43:13,440 --> 01:43:15,510
8.06 meters!

1394
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:18,194
It's a new Olympic record!

1395
01:43:42,600 --> 01:43:43,874
Congratulations.

1396
01:43:43,960 --> 01:43:45,871
Let's make the lap of honor.
Okay, sure.

1397
01:43:58,800 --> 01:44:00,153
Have you seen
this before?

1398
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:01,554
Never.

1399
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:26,512
Thanks.

1400
01:44:27,480 --> 01:44:30,199
You beat me,
square and fair.

1401
01:44:30,760 --> 01:44:33,274
It's
"fair and square,"

1402
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:35,273
and you gave
me the chance.

1403
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:37,112
I wanted your best.

1404
01:44:37,520 --> 01:44:39,431
Otherwise,
what is the point?

1405
01:44:41,840 --> 01:44:43,239
Is that
your girlfriend?

1406
01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:44,839
Yes.

1407
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:46,200
Wow.

1408
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:49,153
She's very pretty.
Thank you.

1409
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:53,468
Do they have any
ugly girls in Germany?

1410
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:55,878
They prefer to keep
them out of sight.

1411
01:44:55,960 --> 01:44:58,190
There are a lot of things
they want to keep hidden.

1412
01:45:00,880 --> 01:45:02,438
You think I'm joking.

1413
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:09,792
I love my country,

1414
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,958
but it's no secret my
government's going insane.

1415
01:45:13,480 --> 01:45:15,630
They don't bother
to hide it.

1416
01:45:16,280 --> 01:45:18,271
I don't even think
they are ashamed.

1417
01:45:19,880 --> 01:45:23,714
A few nights ago, they sent a
girl to my room to wish me luck.

1418
01:45:24,040 --> 01:45:25,712
She wanted to
sleep with me.

1419
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:31,270
Governor Davey sent me a telegram
and a case of Coca-Cola.

1420
01:45:31,560 --> 01:45:32,879
I should emigrate.

1421
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:34,715
No.

1422
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:36,589
No.

1423
01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:38,593
This girl,

1424
01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:41,590
she wanted to
get pregnant.

1425
01:45:43,240 --> 01:45:46,516
I think she was
ordered to get pregnant.

1426
01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:53,916
I suppose I
should be flattered.

1427
01:45:56,360 --> 01:46:00,194
I think all things considered,
you're actually better off in America.

1428
01:46:02,440 --> 01:46:03,759
I don't...

1429
01:46:06,160 --> 01:46:09,357
I don't know if there's
much difference deep down.

1430
01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:21,634
Are you gonna
get in any trouble?

1431
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:24,797
You made quite
a scene today.

1432
01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:28,272
They want to use us to prove
something to the world.

1433
01:46:28,480 --> 01:46:30,038
I'm happy to show
them they're wrong.

1434
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:31,758
Believe me, I would have
preferred to beat you,

1435
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:33,478
but it wouldn't
have been for them.

1436
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:35,758
If they want to make
these games a weapon,

1437
01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:38,513
they can't complain
when it's used against them.

1438
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:42,031
Maybe now they see how
stupid it was to even try.

1439
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:44,832
You are entered for
one more event, right?

1440
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:48,314
Uh, yeah.
Uh, 200 meters.

1441
01:46:48,440 --> 01:46:50,351
I very much
hope you win.

1442
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,197
Not to prove anything
to any government.

1443
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:10,470
Just to make me feel a little
better about losing to you.

1444
01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:21,676
Conditions have been damp

1445
01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:23,836
and overcast all
morning here in Berlin,

1446
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:26,354
as the competitors
take to the field

1447
01:47:26,480 --> 01:47:30,109
for the men's final
of the 200-meter dash.

1448
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:31,959
This is it.

1449
01:47:32,160 --> 01:47:34,151
It's been 36 years

1450
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:36,510
since a track and
field athlete brought home

1451
01:47:36,600 --> 01:47:40,718
three individual gold
medals from a single games.

1452
01:47:50,840 --> 01:47:52,398
Hans...

1453
01:48:22,520 --> 01:48:25,080
Taking their
lanes are Wil van Beveren,

1454
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:27,754
and Tinus Osendarp
of the Netherlands,

1455
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:31,116
America's Jesse Owens
and Mack Robinson,

1456
01:48:31,240 --> 01:48:33,435
Paul Hanni of Switzerland,

1457
01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:36,273
and the Canadian, Lee Orr.

1458
01:48:42,440 --> 01:48:44,749
And they're
off to a clean start.

1459
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:46,438
Owens has gone off.

1460
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:48,113
And so has Robinson.

1461
01:48:48,200 --> 01:48:51,670
Owens is flying around the
top bend into the straight.

1462
01:48:51,760 --> 01:48:54,035
Mack Robinson in second place.

1463
01:48:54,120 --> 01:48:56,793
Owens and Robinson
ahead of the field.

1464
01:48:57,120 --> 01:48:59,588
Osendarp is challenging.

1465
01:49:00,480 --> 01:49:03,119
And it's Owens!

1466
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:09,031
Owens sprints it in

1467
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:12,556
20.7 seconds.

1468
01:49:24,440 --> 01:49:27,796
Owens! Owens! Owens!

1469
01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:23,039
When we first met,
we spoke of hospitality.

1470
01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:29,228
When you are a guest in
somebody's home, you abide...

1471
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:30,639
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I understand.

1472
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:42,756
What time they serve dinner,
the brand of cognac they prefer.

1473
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:44,319
It's, it's good manners.

1474
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:58,276
The Jews,
Glickman and Stoller,

1475
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:00,436
are competing in
the 400-meter relay.

1476
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:11,388
It would show a great deal of
sympathy and understanding

1477
01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:14,068
on your part
if they did not.

1478
01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:22,389
Thanks for the drink.

1479
01:51:28,440 --> 01:51:30,271
He says you have
a business arrangement.

1480
01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:34,394
That was business.

1481
01:51:35,360 --> 01:51:37,237
That has nothing
to do with this.

1482
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:52,638
How would it look for your
American Olympic Association

1483
01:51:52,720 --> 01:51:55,553
to have collaborated
with us before these games?

1484
01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:08,235
Okay.

1485
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:10,438
There are reports
the krauts

1486
01:52:10,560 --> 01:52:12,160
have been holding back
their best runners

1487
01:52:12,200 --> 01:52:15,317
to spring a nice little surprise
on us in the 400-meter relay.

1488
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:19,076
With that in mind, we've got
some changes to the lineup.

1489
01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:22,311
All right. So, Foy,
guess you'll take third leg.

1490
01:52:22,400 --> 01:52:23,753
Frank, you're now
going to run anchor.

1491
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:24,880
Okay.

1492
01:52:26,160 --> 01:52:28,993
Marty, Sam,

1493
01:52:30,440 --> 01:52:32,635
I'm sorry,
but we gotta cut you.

1494
01:52:36,880 --> 01:52:38,950
Who's gonna run
first and second?

1495
01:52:39,480 --> 01:52:41,755
You mean we came all the way here,
we're not gonna get to race?

1496
01:52:41,840 --> 01:52:43,160
No, no, no.
That's a load of crap.

1497
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:44,440
Marty and me,
we both licked Foy

1498
01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:45,919
in the speed test yesterday.
I'm sorry, believe me.

1499
01:52:46,000 --> 01:52:47,274
It's not been an easy decision...
Hey, hey.

1500
01:52:47,360 --> 01:52:48,713
You're gonna cut somebody,
you cut him.

1501
01:52:48,800 --> 01:52:50,074
Foy's got
more experience.

1502
01:52:50,200 --> 01:52:52,953
Any team the krauts got out there,
we can win this by 15 yards.

1503
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:56,271
Oh, come on! You know
what this is all about.

1504
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:02,512
We're the only Jews.

1505
01:53:08,200 --> 01:53:10,270
This has nothing to
do with the Jewish question.

1506
01:53:10,360 --> 01:53:11,998
If you do this...

1507
01:53:12,720 --> 01:53:13,948
If you do this,

1508
01:53:14,200 --> 01:53:16,634
you'll catch hell
for it back home.

1509
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:19,838
That's not your problem.

1510
01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,036
We want to field
our strongest runners.

1511
01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:26,229
And that's gonna
be Ralph and Jesse.

1512
01:53:27,200 --> 01:53:28,758
Come on,
that's perfect.

1513
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:32,032
No, look. Coach,
you gotta run Sam and Marty.

1514
01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:35,200
I mean, I can't speak for Ralph over
here, but you gotta give 'em a shot.

1515
01:53:35,280 --> 01:53:38,477
I've never even ran the relay. I don't
even think I know how to pass a baton.

1516
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:40,238
You do as
you're told, Owens.

1517
01:53:40,320 --> 01:53:41,878
Press have
copies of the lineup.

1518
01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:44,993
You change it now and we lose,
they'll wanna know why.

1519
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:46,877
That's a lot of pressure to put
on one race, don't you think?

1520
01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:49,076
Would you remind me
who you are again?

1521
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:57,034
Ralph, you do what you want.
I'm not running.

1522
01:53:57,760 --> 01:54:00,399
Not unless Sam and
Marty say it's all right.

1523
01:54:37,200 --> 01:54:39,077
You ever fly
in an airplane?

1524
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:41,875
No.

1525
01:54:44,880 --> 01:54:47,917
Nothing in the world
like flying your own plane.

1526
01:54:49,440 --> 01:54:52,910
A girl down in New Jersey,
waiting for you.

1527
01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:57,630
See, an airplane gets
people excited the same

1528
01:54:57,800 --> 01:54:59,916
way they come out
and watch a man race.

1529
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:02,319
But what
they really want,

1530
01:55:02,640 --> 01:55:04,995
what really gets
them worked up,

1531
01:55:05,320 --> 01:55:07,117
is to see you crash.

1532
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:12,838
To see you fold up that Stearman
biplane like a piece of paper.

1533
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:15,592
Watch the ground
crew drag you out

1534
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:17,352
like a rag doll
before it blows up,

1535
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:19,671
explodes into flames.

1536
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:23,676
Now, that's exciting.

1537
01:55:26,000 --> 01:55:27,319
Well, is...

1538
01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:30,393
Is that why you
didn't go to Paris?

1539
01:55:30,480 --> 01:55:32,038
Because you
crashed your plane?

1540
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:36,591
April, 1924.

1541
01:55:37,480 --> 01:55:39,755
Three weeks before
the opening ceremony.

1542
01:55:41,400 --> 01:55:42,833
I heard Paddock
win on the radio.

1543
01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:44,832
Man!
Yeah.

1544
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:51,037
You were some
kind of idiot.

1545
01:55:58,360 --> 01:56:00,032
That's exactly
what my father said.

1546
01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:05,789
I woke up in the hospital,
and he gave me this.

1547
01:56:07,760 --> 01:56:11,230
Yeah. Yeah, I had my shot,
but I didn't know it.

1548
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:14,031
Just threw it away.

1549
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:18,560
A Stearman's
a beautiful little plane,

1550
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:25,792
but I don't imagine it compares
much to running at the Olympics.

1551
01:56:29,240 --> 01:56:30,832
You're right,
you know.

1552
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:35,992
It's not your race.

1553
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:55,469
Hey.

1554
01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:02,312
If you lose,

1555
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:04,558
it's for nothing.

1556
01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:06,873
Understand?

1557
01:57:07,920 --> 01:57:10,878
Sam and me would've
been shafted for nothing.

1558
01:57:12,760 --> 01:57:16,958
All the world will see is another
Nazi waving another medal.

1559
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:22,951
What are you
trying to say?

1560
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:27,396
He means don't lose.

1561
01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:30,628
Yeah.

1562
01:57:47,720 --> 01:57:48,914
Come on, Jesse!

1563
01:57:51,160 --> 01:57:53,469
Owens,
the world's fastest sprinter

1564
01:57:53,560 --> 01:57:56,279
sets a terrific
pace from the start.

1565
01:57:58,080 --> 01:58:01,436
Owens passes Mariani,
hands off to Metcalfe.

1566
01:58:07,880 --> 01:58:11,714
Faster, passing the Canadian.
The second change!

1567
01:58:17,440 --> 01:58:18,759
Go, Frank!

1568
01:58:31,520 --> 01:58:35,308
America in first place
with a new world record

1569
01:58:35,400 --> 01:58:38,198
of 39.8 seconds!

1570
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:39,480
All right!

1571
01:58:54,200 --> 01:58:56,555
USA! USA!

1572
01:59:01,560 --> 01:59:03,869
USA! USA!

1573
01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:09,919
Thanks, Larry.

1574
01:59:12,840 --> 01:59:14,398
All right.

1575
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:19,549
Go! Go!

1576
01:59:46,600 --> 01:59:48,511
Go ahead.
Take a look.

1577
01:59:49,760 --> 01:59:52,274
No, it's okay.

1578
01:59:52,640 --> 01:59:54,551
You sure?
Yeah.

1579
01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:57,392
Last chance.

1580
02:00:00,320 --> 02:00:01,435
Bring it to me.

1581
02:00:05,560 --> 02:00:06,560
Hmm.

1582
02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:23,520
What...

1583
02:00:23,600 --> 02:00:24,794
Excuse me.

1584
02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:27,793
Mr. Owens, my name is
Leni Riefenstahl. Um...

1585
02:00:28,480 --> 02:00:30,550
I have a favor
to ask you.

1586
02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:39,229
Would you mind
one more?

1587
02:00:40,720 --> 02:00:42,676
Last time,
I promise.

1588
02:00:43,000 --> 02:00:45,992
Well, sure,
but isn't that cheating?

1589
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:47,360
Cheating?

1590
02:00:47,480 --> 02:00:48,480
Yeah.

1591
02:00:49,280 --> 02:00:51,794
I'm just saying that's not
the actual jump I made.

1592
02:00:52,760 --> 02:00:54,876
You did make
that jump.

1593
02:00:55,120 --> 02:00:56,633
We all saw it.

1594
02:00:57,160 --> 02:00:59,071
You made history
out here.

1595
02:00:59,200 --> 02:01:01,919
All I'm doing
is making sure

1596
02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:04,759
years from now, those people who
weren't there can see it too.

1597
02:01:06,760 --> 02:01:09,399
So they never
forget what you did.

1598
02:01:13,520 --> 02:01:14,839
One more?

1599
02:01:16,360 --> 02:01:17,395
Please.

1600
02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:19,072
All right. One more.

1601
02:01:19,160 --> 02:01:20,593
Danke. Danke.

1602
02:02:25,160 --> 02:02:26,593
Wonderful.
Here we go.

1603
02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:28,671
Good evening.
Hello, sir.

1604
02:02:41,920 --> 02:02:43,194
Not bad, huh?

1605
02:02:43,320 --> 02:02:44,594
Not bad at all!

1606
02:02:49,480 --> 02:02:52,119
I'm sorry, sir,
but your friends

1607
02:02:52,280 --> 02:02:54,919
will have to use
the service entrance.

1608
02:02:57,000 --> 02:02:58,069
Are you kidding me?

1609
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:01,754
You know
who this is?

1610
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:03,069
Yes, sir.

1611
02:03:03,160 --> 02:03:05,071
I mean, they're
holding the dinner for him.

1612
02:03:05,160 --> 02:03:06,229
Yes, sir.

1613
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:13,116
I'm sorry, Mr. Owens, sir,
but those are the rules.

1614
02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:15,839
Yeah? Yeah, well,
your rules are bullshit!

1615
02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:18,036
You know that, yeah? How about
you go inside and get your boss

1616
02:03:18,200 --> 02:03:20,236
or someone that can
actually help us out... Coach, Coach.

1617
02:03:20,320 --> 02:03:22,709
It's all right.
Go ahead.

1618
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:24,432
I'll meet you in there.

1619
02:03:47,440 --> 02:03:48,668
Unbelievable.

1620
02:03:57,520 --> 02:03:58,714
Jesse Owens!

1621
02:03:58,840 --> 02:04:00,034
Jesse Owens.

1622
02:04:07,840 --> 02:04:09,637
I think
that's Jesse Owens!

1623
02:04:15,600 --> 02:04:17,079
Mr. Owens?

1624
02:04:17,920 --> 02:04:19,035
Yes?

1625
02:04:23,240 --> 02:04:25,993
Um,
would you mind?

1626
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:29,239
Sure.

1627
02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:35,555
Thank you!
