And the award goes to... Rachel Lemley!

Previously on The Foundation.

You didn't think you were going to win,
did you?

I'm going to see my favorite singer,
Apollo.

Did you cut the check for Char's
machine?

That check, Mike. Bogar's really going
over budget on the desalination build.

Char's check didn't clear.

We can stop drugs completely!

In 1977, tobacco baron Randolph James
Selkirk established the R .J. Selkirk

Foundation. As a grand act of penance,
Selkirk bequeathed $300 million to the

foundation under the all -encompassing
mandate for the betterment of humankind

worldwide.

Today, the R .J. Selkirk Foundation is
managed by Michael Valmal Selkirk, a job

legally allotted to him for life in a
separation agreement from R .J.'s

granddaughter.

Your overruns are ridiculous.

The desalination plant is costing almost
as much as we're pretending it costs.

In Rwanda they say, weather is the
weather.

I have no control, my friend. Only hala.
Look, we want to duplicate this project

across Africa, right? If you want to
multiply what you're making now by 300,

keep the sticker price in check.

Yeah, keep it in check, Bokar. Any more
problems will be covered by your share

of the kickbacks.

Of course, my friends. Of course. But in
the meantime, we need more cash.

She's racing across Canada.

No arms. Pretty amazing.

And a recumbent bicycle designed and
funded by Raison Lamalaz Mauerhaus

Foundation. Who's our wheelchair guy?

I'm not sure we have one.

A -C -E -U -T -I -C -A -L.
Pharmaceutical.

I said?

Did I spell it right? Which one?

Never mind, I did.

Dad, what's wrong with you?

Jean Lamelin, that's what's wrong.

He's won the Face of Hope Award three
years in a row. But, Dad, why did you

want that stupid award?

I want respect.

I don't want to be some one -night stand
your mom invited to breakfast to piss

off your grandparents.

You want to beat that tire kicker next
year, right?

Beat him at his own game. Do something
better than him. Be better than him. He

has this cross -country race.

What's your move?

Christ, you're sharp.

Sure we're related?

Positive court -ordered blood test.

So they're racing west to east.

See, we start in Newfoundland and go to
B .C., like the original Terry Garr.

Fox. Terry Fox was the original? Mike,
it's a bit blatant.

What, Reggie's got a patent on cross
-country wheelcharing? Too much work,

We've got too much going on already.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

Well, logistically, it's a nightmare.

Support teams, travel arrangements,
insurance.

Can't be done.

Why don't you let me worry about
logistics? You worry about balancing

books.

NCC's waiting.

I'll take Davis into the boardroom.

Barry Ling over at Green Tree got nailed
with an audit last month. Said Davis is

on the warpath.

I gotta make a good impression. He's a
face of hope, Judge. Just let me do the

talking. I'm talking about winning an
award here. I'm talking about 25 mil in

illegal kickbacks. The H2 Africa project
will transform the lives of the

impoverished in coastal Sahara.

Once construction is complete, the plant
will supply Nuwanda with 35 million

liters of clean desalinized water per
annum. And once this field test proves

positive, we'll be pitching to the UN
for global application.

A good year.

Remarkable. Well done, Michael.

Well, great.

Always a pleasure to see you guys. Well,
global is the way to go, Davis. Give a

man a fish. That's what we're all about
now. A fish.

We're not here just to help one
unfortunate rich woman. We're not

bikes. Are you referring to Lemley?

Yeah, do you think Sarah and him are
going out? I saw them on TV. They

keep their hands off each other.

Well, then. Actually, before we adjourn,
Barry, we hear that there was quite the

little mishap between a chair of
Saunders and a portable Glickman.

Well, that was rectified. Yes, but not
before she missed the concert. Now, this

isn't that little girl with the
necrotizing glomerulonephritis, is it?

It was a management error. Inter -office
notifications weren't processed

properly. Right, Cynthia?

Actually, the check bounced.

The check bounced.

And how exactly is that possible in a
foundation with an endowment of this

We are investigating internally. We will
get to the bottom of this. Why don't

you let us give you a hand with that,
Barry?

Selkirk hasn't been audited by us in
almost ten years, and we can't be

favorites now, can we?

Well, no.

Good.

Oh, and Michael, you missed the, uh,
Valmont in the hyphen.

Thank you very much. It was a pleasure.
Lovely to see you. We're exposed.

That bad check will lead him right to
the Lichtenstein account. We need smoke.

Something to cover the accounts, bury
that bad check in. Something a forensic

accountant couldn't plow through. You
said you had everything under control.

And you said you wanted a race.

You serious?

Splash out on this mic big time.

Spend like it's Christmas. The accounts
will be a disaster. We'll buy time at

least. Okay.

We'll need an amp.

A quality amp.

VIP -level tragedy.

And I'll make sure that I make a note of
your operation.

He's a former Olympian. People chase.

He placed fourth, or he contested fourth
in Sydney.

All the gold medalists are still able
-bodied. I checked.

Jack! I heard your story. I couldn't
sleep for a week. What's up?

Cocksucking Algerian clotheslines be
going over the final water hazard.

He should hang that bronze off his
fucking elbow, that rat bitch. Fourth

Nothing sucks like fourth.

Contest it forth, Ronnie. How about gold
then, Tack? How about winning gold,

biking across Canada?

Uh, I can't even ride a bike, Mike. You
need to finish first in something, don't

you? I think that Surly is already doing
it.

No, no, no. He's not going against no
woman with legs, all right? If we're

to do this, you'd have to level the
field, Mr. Valmont Selkirk.

She's already got no arms.

Uh, yeah, but she's got legs.

Legs are a little bit more important
when you're trying to cover ground.

How about a handicap, then?

We start in Montreal. She starts in
Vancouver, behind the mountains.

I don't know. This wouldn't be a
volunteer position, Ronald.

All expenses paid, first -class
accommodations, per diems.

You're bribing him?

Come on, man.

Whatever happened to that Olympic
spirit?

A trunk driver crushed it.

Nobody remembers Fourth. No one.

He should be doing this for his own
personal reasons. For what? So

can't get paid?

Martyrs are volunteer only so you can
sleep at night? You want to be first?

Can you be first?

Will you be number one?

Fine!

Fuck it! Fuck it! Fine!

Fuck it! I'll do it!

You got it! Welcome aboard.

Cynthia will fill you in on all the
details. If you need anything, you ask

All right. Yeah, yeah. If we're going to
do this, I'm his manager, all right?

And there's a couple things we're going
to need.

First of all, we're going to need a
sweet RV.

All right, all right.

Okay.

I'll get the purchase orders going.

Oh,

Mr. MLA?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

What's this I hear about you launching
across country?

Sarah's been planning this for years.

Your lady friend's feeling the pressure,
eh?

My what?

Hey, listen.

Ronald Tack is not the exemplary
Olympian you think he is. Since his

he's been hooked on... Why don't you
help more white people, Reg?

What?

Save the speech.

Look, I'm not going to let my kid down.
I guess it's a race. A race? A race

across Canada.

Well, that demeans everything we stand
for. Two people, one goal sounds like a

race to me. There will be no race!

There'll be a race.

I want drug tests, GPS monitors, and
odometers on both bikes. He can't even

a bike, Reg.

I felt responsible when Anthony died.
During that meth fire, I was so high, I

couldn't see straight. But it wasn't the
fault of the fire.

I blame the drugs, not me.

Drugs stole my beloved bodyguard the
same way that fate stole Ronald Tack's

legs.

We must stop drugs completely!

Stop drugs completely!

Stephen is a little concerned about
Ronald's mattress on the bus. He'd like

Tempur -Pedic organized for delivery in
Ottawa. I'll cancel the check I gave you

and issue a new one. They also requested
more video games, Cracker Jacks. That

one's circled. Here's the list. Here's
the purchase orders. It'll come from a

separate account.

Gent Magazine?

Really? The kid's in a wheelchair,
Cynthia.

Huh? Tax masseuse is spazzing out. What?

The dream comes true.

Sir.

Three, two, one.

We're going to start in five minutes.
No,

no, no, no.

Can't even see the kid, Reg.

He's a bolt of light.

Well, wish him good journey.

Sarah, can you read me?

You're doing fantastic.

I feel it. I feel it.

Why aren't you on the bus? I have to
head to the hotel.

Barry, Barry, can you chaperone on the
bus?

Because I have to get back to the
office.

Where's Cap?

How's he doing? There he is.

Come on, Ralph.

Come on. Yeah, that's it.

Shut the fuck up!

I hate all of you!

I want to chop all your legs off and
throw you out of the fucking highway!

I love it!

I love it!

I don't want to be here anymore, Steve.

I don't want to be here.

Hello, Reg.

We did, um, 45 kilometers today.

Taking it easy from the start.

Good for you.

I see you only to date.

Turtle in the hair.

Enjoy the Rockies.

Cynthia, refile these. Any dinner
expenses need to be allocated to this

account? He's done.

We need to call Réjean and tell him
we're out.

He's not done. His hands are bleeding.

Get him on the bus. You're my little
champ. You're my little champ. Fuck you!

I barely made it outside the city
limits, all right, Mike? I can't do it.

My ass is like a massive bed sore.

Thought you were paralyzed.

What are those?

Vitamins. Buddy, you did the best you
could do out there today. You have no

reason to hang your head.

It's going to be different tomorrow.

No, I'm done. I quit. We understand.

No, we don't. We paid you a fee. We
expect you to deliver.

We don't quit on Team Tack -Tack.

We crush on Team Tack. What did you come
on this journey for?

Money!

Give us a minute.

Pep talk. Come on. Get off the bus.

It isn't fair.

I know that now.

She's got legs. You've got those.

She's cheating. That's what she's doing.
And she's getting away with it.

Milking that upper body amputee guilt
for all it's worth.

You've seen her sign autographs with
that pen in her mouth.

It's disgusting.

I hate cheaters.

So we're going to level that out.

All right.

Then you got to lose Julie Andrews,
coach.

Get her off the bus.

All right, buddy.

You're doing a great job.

We're all proud of you. Huh?

Good hold.

Okay, Coach.

Hey, watch your mileage.

Slow it down.

Does the executive suite have a Tempur
-Pedic mattress in it?

It does, thank God. Okay, well, we'll be
there at... Um, I'll call you back.

Would you turn around, please?

Get near some towns. We'll keep your
brother out there. They'll never know

difference.

No, no.

I want to do it, Mike.

That's my champion.

Now get your sore ass out there.

I will get back.

I promise.

Look, I don't...

Comes great grace, Sarah.

Great beauty.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Come on, Coach. You can't leave now.

I gotta get back.

Well, thank you, Mike.

No, no, no.

No, listen. No, it's... Thank you.
You've earned every second of this.

So take her home, baby.

Easy on the mileage.

You bet.

Big day.

Let's celebrate.

Sorry about all the accounting snafus.
It's going to take weeks to get things

straight. Actually, we'll be ready for
the audit on Wednesday. Nothing Team

can't handle.

Go, Tack, go.

Cavalry's here.

There you go, brother.

B -H -E -N.

Vehicular. Correct.

You made it.

Of course I did, Jim.

I'm so proud of you.

Thank you, but I didn't win.

That doesn't matter. Winning doesn't.

You don't need to.

Where's your mother?

Bikram.

Selkirk here.

Steve?

Hide the sheet.

Sarah, it's over.

You won't believe this.

Ronald Tack's dead.

I just had a call a moment ago.

We've got a lot of accidents on this
stretch of road.

Of course, most of them end up in
wheelchairs afterward.

I think the handicap would have more
sense.

Barry, what are we going to do?

The brother knows everything. I will not
go to jail. The brother is implicated.

He won't talk if we play this right.

We'll lay it on him. He's the manager.

Just retaliate if you point the finger.
You two cancel each other out.

We need a spin.

Call Apollo.

Why? Admit the negative.

Satiate them and no one digs deeper.

A bus didn't kill Tack.

Drugs killed Tack.

Ronald Tack is a martyr.

Stop drugs completely.

Buy a big wreath, boss. The foundation's
in mourning.

Again!

Why? I promise you, Ronald Tack,

You will not have died in vain.

Your name will live on.

A global effort to stop drugs
completely.

By stopping drugs completely, we will
stop addiction completely.

And we will stop senseless accidents
like these.

It must be done.

Like the great racer that he was, Ronald
Tack beat us all into heaven.

And for that, in his brave struggle
against addiction, we honor him today by

renaming our flagship desolation project
the Ronald Tack Plant.

He ran into our hearts.

And because of that, his memory will
help fresh water run in the villages

of Africa. He was a champion.

And because technically he was ahead at
the time of his death, I declare the

late, great Ronald Tack the undisputed
winner of stamina across Canada.

Such a tragedy, Mike, and such a blow to
your organization.

It's been devastating, Davis. I don't
know what to say. I can believe it. But

hear donations are pouring in from
around the country. That must be some

comfort. A little, yes, but it's chaos
at the office.

I mean, what with the grief counseling,
just trying to keep track of all these

monies and the audit.

Oh, the audit. No, no, forget about the
audit for now, Mike, obviously.

We'll get you next year.

Right now, take this time to grieve.

Thank you, Davis.

Thank you very much.

Barry? Cynthia?
