So what's on your mind?

I don't know.

It's kinda hard for me to tell you about it.

Mm, I know there's been something
on your mind since yesterday.

Morgan Weld offered Charley and I
a free ticket to Newport.

Yeah?

To be on the crew... of his new boat.

He's got a new 12-meter for the America's Cup.

It's the big time, Kate.

Well, that's fantastic.
That's great!

Why don't you tell me about this sooner?

'Cause I'm not gonna do it.

Of course you're gonna do it. You've been
dreaming about doing this since you were a little kid.

It's risky.

There's no guarantees.

I mean I could be bounced and
sent home next week.

When are you supposed to be there?

Monday.

Charley's already gone.

What? So you're worried about me?

You could come with me.

You aren't going to take care of myself.
(I can handle myself.)

Come about, tack.

Tacking!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Come on! Otis.

Knocking.

Roll the luff.

Get up there, Spider!

Let off, Spider!

Bearing 285, spead is 8.0

Hey, Will.

(You) steer (for) a while.

"Irolita".

Designed by old captain Nat himself.

He built six defenders
(and) he never lost once.

Five.

"Vigilant".

"Resolute".

"Columbia".

Twice.

"Defender".

"Reliance".

"Reliance", built (in) 1903; crew: 66;
largest single masted ship ever built.

"Rainbow".

1934.

"Vanderbilt" beat "Endeavour".

She was a faster boat.

(The) closest we ever came to
losing the Cup in 130 years.

My wife used to call these...

"Jealous Mistresses."

You married?

Yeah, almost.

She'll be here next month for the 14th (sailing).

Sometimes we pay too high a price...

for our dreams.

You know, will?

You're a skipper material.

So I'm gonna let you
take over the "Trial Horse."

She's an old boat.

but she's a champion.

You'll be my
sparing partner.

Sharpen my relexes, hmm?

Pick your own crew.

Thank you.

Trim! Trim! Trim!

Come on, let's go!

Come on, let's get it!

We gotta clean the whole thing after.

Port...

Starboard.

Ok, Drop anchor.

Ah, Kate!

Nice work!

Specially for you.

Last time I saw this thing,
it was like a jigsaw puzzle.

(I) can't believe this is the same boat.

What is this?

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Ah, I can't believe you did it. Come here!
You have me missed you so much.

So tell me, who's gonna be here?

Oh, well, you know,
Mr. White Nose will be here.

Yeah?

Shumway's gonna be there,
The Hulk, your favorite, mine, Jack.

Yeah, no problem.

Come on, we gotta tack out of here.

Hello, everyone, Peter Montgomery
here for the Australian Sports Network.

Welcome to Newport, Rhode Island.

We're at the Buzzard's Bay Championships
of the High Yacht Ten International 14th

one of toughest classes in all of sailing.

As every good skipper knows,

the big boats get the glory.
but the small boats make the sailor.

We've got several America's Cup contenders
down from Newport today.

Let's look at the favorites.

Jack Neville, Australia's finest skipper
and Cup Challenger this year.

Charley Gaines
Olympics silver medalist.

and the favorites Parker and Bass.

Will Parker, probably the best match racer
on the world we can see today.

And Kate Bass, retired from racing six months ago,
to get her master's degree in aeronautical engineering.

It's a nice surprise to see her here today.

... billow, you got a little more.

Great pace!

Coming up!

Neville, the starboard!

Here comes that bastard!

The Bastard!

We're ready for you!

Hey!

Ooh Hoo!

Oh, God!

You're very good!

- You know that?
- Thanks, baby.

Ready to crab one?

To get, you see!

Stand by to jibe.

Aye-aye.

Whoa!

Watch T-bag and Baco!

Jibing!

Watch Parker!

Hey, Parker!

What do you wanna do?

Take the wind out of his sails.

You bastard!

Jack's lost his jib.

Patterson's coming on.

Shumway's coming back.

Whoa! No,
No, he's not!

Patterson is no longer a factor.

Charley's making his move.

Charley's gone.

Right there.

- Oh! Ohh!
- Oh yeah! We're in the groove now, baby!

Oh, you sure are, mister!

- She's singing it!
- Whoa! So (singing it) this boat.

No surrender!

Geronimo!

Will.

Do you know how close we were?

We had this one!

- Yeah, we did, didn't we?
- Yeah.

- Well...
- God damn it!

You can't win 'em all.

Yeah, I just... I woulda
liked to win this one.

Oh, there goes Jack,
Perfect!

Great!

Well...

What do you want me to do?
Hate myself?

Yeah!

You were so close!

I didn't do it on purpose.

It's just... something happened.

Yeah.

You're right. I should have.
I don't know, I...

You just had to go, push harder.
You just had to... grab 'em over.

You look really beautiful right now,
I just got...

Oh, really?

Yeah, you just look fantastic.

Hey!

Hey!

Great race.

Well, we gotta let you win one once in a while.

Oh, come on!

Your life's like a couple of turds on a tarmac.

In your dreams.

Oh, how're you, darling?
You look wonderful.

Oh, the better for saying you, Big Jack!

Big Jack? You've been reading my mail.

Of course.

- How about a dance, later?
- Ooh, I don't know if my little heart can take it.

Oh.

There he is, Will.

He was watching today.

The would-be keeper of yachting's Holy Grail.

Downy truely worthy opponent, they all league themselves.

Old bastard!

I'm sorry about screwing up today.

Yeah, well, winning's not everything.

It's a lot more fun.

Well, ok,
Look, I owe you one, all right?

(I) hope you're really good.

I want you to make it up to me.

Oh, Geez!

Well, hey, how 'bout we...
go on this sexy boat?

What do you think, huh?

Wanna go for a sail?

Look at this!

What do you think?

I'm here all night.

And I didn't here come here
(to) look at your boat.

Well, you can come here to look at my...

Hey! What's going on down there?

- Come on! We gotta get down.
- Why?

They'll throw me off the crew.

Shh!

Ok, I'm sorry.

Come on, Med.
It's nothing.

Up!

Down!

Happy faces, gentlemen!

Up!

Down!

Up!

Down! Let's count to 10.

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Six!

Seven!

Will, I think you've got an attitude problem.

You're pissing and moaning.
(And) you're not talking to me about it.

He takes away my gears. He takes away my sails.
He takes away everything that's any good.

Come on! Bad mouthing isn't
gonna accomplish a thing.

And besides, you'll lose the respect of the crew.

I got a tired old boat, I got a cruel and mutinous dog.
So what am I supposed to do?

You got the picture, Will.

But Morgan sees something special in you.

I don't know what it is.
A touch, a feel?

I mean, come on, everybody
wants to drive the boat.

There's 10 other people on there with you, Will.

You've got the egos, muscles forward.

And you've gotta make 'em into one body.

Will, the secret: I think you need to
make 'em feel like they're part of the team.

that they're contributing something.

You got a choice.

You can lead,

you can follow,

or you can get outta the way.

Understand?

I gotta go.

It's big break for me, Will.

A dream job with a great designer.

So I'm gonna do it.

What'd I do here anyway?
Buy your groceries?

Sweep my floor, make my bed,
make me breakfast in the morning.

Oh, Gee!

Why don't you come on the boat?

You could be my technician.

The two of us, together again!

Oh, come on, Will.

This 's the oldest boy's club in the world.

- They'd tear me shreds.
- No, they wouldn't.

- Of course they would.
- Not if you were good enough.

And you'd be the first one.

The first woman.

Just like Eve in the Garden of Eden?

Remember what happend to her?

Whadda you talking about?

Eve got what she wanted, didn't she?

Hey, if it wasn't for Eve,
none of us would be here.

So what are you bitching about?

I'm bitching that I have to choose
between my life or yours.

Heads, you stay with me
and sail into...

the History books.

Or tails, you leave me in my time of need,

and disappear into academic obscurity.

Oh, wait, wait, it should be the other way around.

You see, tails 's an eagle, like your boat.

so tails I stay, heads I go.

- Ok.
- Ok.

Tails you sail,
heads you leave me.

Got it.

Might like a steel trap.

I'm a sailor, ok?

- Here we go
- Ok.

Ok, wait, wait, wait.
I changed my mind.

Heads, you stay here and sail;

tails, you come with me,
and be my research assistant.

Oh, give me a break!

- What?
- Well, you can't compare this to that!

Oh, I see.

- No, you can't.
- Oh, really?

No, this is the best thing that's
ever happend to me.

What's the best thing
that's ever happened to you?

You're the best thing that's
ever happened to me.

You mean it?

Yes.

Good.

The draft on Eagle's mainsail has to
be moved forward.

- You think so?
- Yeah,

And if we cut it,

I think that it probably would pick up.

Oui!

You mean like a team?

This better work, Will Parker.

Otherwise, I will never forgive you,

and I will be very cruel to you

for the rest of your miserable life.

- You promise?
- Mm hmm.

Yes!

On lift, we're up ten.

(The) speed's increasing.
We're at 7.9.

Why don't you come up a little higher?

Come more lift, touch the sky!

Very fast!

Congratulations, boys!
You've just beat Morgan.

All right.

Yeah!

Good work!

Hey, George.

Will, you are doing a fine job.

Oh, thanks.
We were just being lucky.

Absolutely.

But...

There's a problem.

Problem?

It's the girlfriend.

Come on, Will,
it's just not professional.

and upsets the man
to have a woman on board.

Crew chemistry,
it's a delicate, subtle thing.

Come on, George, that's bullshit!

She's doing a fine job.

Other crew likes her.

Will, she's off the boat!

Fine, you can tell Morgan (to) just take his boat
and shove it up his ass.

And son, today you've been ordered
the helmsman and tactician on the A-boat.

Well done.

Come on!

Hey!

We're gonna sit at the table and
eat like human beings tonight.

Get outta there!

You know what,
don't spoil your dinner.

Get out! I'm cooking.

Here, take 'em.
I can't take this any more.

It's just killing me.

Oh, also, when you're done,
make me some good dressing, ok?

What?

You've been cut from the boat.

They say "you don't mix well with the crew."

That's bullshit!

That's what I told 'em.

I told 'em where they can stick their boat.

Yeah.

They also told me that I've been promoted
to the...

starting helmsman on the... Radiance.

I'm sorry, Kate,
It's just...

Bastards!

Well, guys,
the news is....

I'm outta here.

Why?

I don't know.
It's just the way it is.

But...

I just like to say how much
I appreciate you guys,

You've been really wonderful to me.

And, um...

I'm sorry I messed up the soup.

Anyway...

here's to you!

Hear!

I have to fight so hard,

to stay on my own track

You know, the pull of you
and your life is just too much.

I have a life that has nothing to do with this,

and I just get sucked in.

I don't get it,

Is that defending your Holy Grail?

Some male ritual?

Maybe it's just winning your face on a cereal box.

It's not quite like that, Kate.

It's um...

when you get a chance to do something
that you've dreamed about doing,

you do it.

It's hard to explain ...

It's being a part of something that's...

so much bigger than I could ever be by myself.

Gentlemen, you are all
in a line of elite men, great men,

who have defended the world's
most enduring sporting record.

It's an honor to know you,
it's an honor to sail with you.

Tradition has it that...

the first American skipper to ever lose the Cup

will replace it with his own head
in the trophy case.

Gentlemen, my head is in your hands.
Please be careful, I've become attached to it.

And I would propose a toast.

The Cup!

Hear, hear!

Never before in the history of America's Cup
has a foreigner challenger come this far.

"Boomerang" has come behind 3 times to win.

and pushed this best of 7 series
to a 7th and final race.

For Jack Neville, a chance to make history;

for Morgan Weld, it's do or die.

For the very first time,
America's back is up against the world.

Ok, Tacking!

Lee-oh!

Tacking!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Turn on, turn on, turn it on!

The "Radiance" are ahead by 3 boat lengths
on the 4th leg,

as the boat beat towards a mark
that still a mile away.

"Boomerang" the white boat,
"Radiance" the blue,

they're sailing into the wind
by tacking back and forth on the zig-zag course.

As you can see, Weld has been keeping a eye on Neville,
covering him tack for tack.

But with this big lead, the American skipper
can make through his layline now,

then they can streak for the mark.

The question for Australia:
can they stay close enough to a tack downwind?

The American's proving very good
at hanging onto what's theirs.

What's going on, Rubsey?

They're a fraction higher, a little faster.

Tacking!

Getting bearing, sir.

Boat speed 9.2 and steady.

Concentrate!

Concentrate!

Holding bearing.

What do you got now, Will?

Stilling increasing,
We have about 7 boat lengths, sir.

Good.

Charley, where's the mark?
I can't see it.

Right over there.

Mainsail!

Move it!

Mainsail's coming down!

Spider, get up there and tie the mastsail!

... get up there and
Stand by to hoist!

Hey, Charley.
Move it, lad. Move it!

They might've slowed, you see?

They're in trouble.

Come on, Take this thing.

They're coming up fast, sir!

Hoist!

Hull speed 7.9 and falling.

Hurry up, boy.
Move it, move it!

They're rather gonna tacked on us, Morgan.

Ok, strike sail.

Tacking!
Strike Sail.

7,6 now!
We gotta fix this.

Hold! Hold!

Spider!

Give it all you've got!

5 boat lengths to the layline, sir!

Hurry up!

May I use the topping lift?

All right.
Haul it in, haul it in!

Fasten it up, Spider!

- We're all the way lying, sir.
-This is crazy!

Spider, lessen the damn thing!

Losing bearing, sir.
Boat speed 7.6 now.

They're tacking!

- Boat speed 6.9.
- Shit!

Damn it!

- 2 boat lengths past the layline, sir.
- Full and by!

We need to tack, sir!

Hang on, Spider!

All right. Tacking!

No, we can't tack.
It's too dangerous!

We gotta repass the layline.

We're tacking!

Tacking!

Hang on, Spider!

Hang on, Spider!

Jesus Christ!

Hold on, Spider!

Get him down!

Get him down!

He's hurt,
Get him down!

Get him down!

Spider!

Come on, baby!

Get him down, baby!
Get him down.

Coming down.

Somebody take the wheel.
Take the wheel!

Come on, boys.
Let's get him in the hole.

Fuck!

He hurt his head pretty bad.

Poor bastard.

Good for us.

Now they're a man short for the spinnaker set.

You're gonna be all right, son.
You're gonna be all right.

10 boat lenghs to the mark, Will.

Mooney, get him the medkit.

Come on, buddy.
Let's go over there, Will.

... and the American lead
has been chopped in half.

Technician Will Parker
is sailing the boat ok,

... but Radiance is going to have to
sail perfectly on the next leg.

Boomerang is back in this race.

Hold it there.

3 boat lengths, Will.

I got it.

2 boat lengths.

All right. It's looking good.

The mark's coming up.

1 boat's length to the mark.

Spider's ok.
Spider's gonna be ok.

God damn it!
We hit the mark!

What? You hit the mark?

We gotta go around the mark again, boys.

Hurry it up! Come on!
Hurry it up! Damn it!

We saw you, Morgan!

Ring around the Rosy!

Watch your head!

Stand by to hoist!

Tacking!

Shit!

Getting past's our right, Morgan!

All right.
Set up the spinnaker!

Hoist!

Come on, let's roll it.

They're about to jibe.
We should grab the inside, sir.

We're still in this, boys.
Let's keep our heads up.

Bearing of the mark at 60 degrees,
It's a shorter course.

No, I'm staying.
We're still gonna win on this side.

Morgan, we've gotta go.
They're coming at us.

Starboard!

They're jibing.
Ok, let's go.

I'm staying.
(We're) still winning on this side.

Morgan, they're coming at us,
They're gonna take our air.

All right, all right.

On the inside, now.

Jibing!

Am I stealing on their air.
Come on, this time we're going a bit further.

Yeah, that's great.

Good angle.

Hey, that's what's paralyzing them.
White quick ass.

So with the cable, we're
gonna get down to their line.

Have your men list?

Build trim on, guys.

As you pull hard, reach it.

Talk to me, Will!
What? What? What?

Guy coming away, coming away.

Don't you wanna get down to lay the smacks.

Pinch me, Rubsey.

Wake me up, wake me up!

What?

I can't believe it!

You're awake, Jack.

(It) just doesn't sound like you.

History is being made here in Newport.

The boats are only moments away from the finishing line.

And the one on the lead
flys not the red-white-and-blue,

but the green-and-gold
from a land down under.

The America's Cup is about to be America's no more.

that Radiance is the boat that lost it.

and she lost it when technitian Will Parker hit the mark.

You're witnessing the end of an era!

Watch for the victory smoke.

It's almost there,
coming up to the commitee boat.

They are over (the finishing line).

"Boomerang" has won the America's Cup!
You bloody beauty!

This is a historic day for Australia!

This is a historic day for skipper Jack Neville,
for his brave crew.

They've broken the longest winning streak in sports.

They have taken it away at last!

Yes!

Hey, Jack.
Good work, mate!

Hey!

- Congratulations, Jack!
- Hey.

You and your crew...
faced a merciful race.

Right in history, right?

Johnny, I got it!

Congratulations.

Hey, Morgan.

you're gonna be down there,
trynna get it back, right? In Australia.

Right.

This wasn't just for us.
It was for every Australian sailor!

That's working better.

'Cause of its slow speed, I tabulated
its surface to increase its efficiency.

So where can we use it?

Any airfoil...

performing at similar Reynolds Numbers,

Gliders, sails, whatever.

It doesn't work.

It's the weight,
should be like a...

smooth like a woman's thigh, you know.

This 's like a hippopotamus's thigh.

- Excuse me
- Yeah.

I'm looking for Kate Bass.
I understand she works here.

Yeah. She's down by the hangar there.

Thanks.

You got a wrench?

Kate.

Hi.

Will?

What are you doing here?

I mean, are you ok?

Yeah.

It's... you're pretty hard to track down.
I've been looking all over for you.

Hope you don't mind me...
barging in on you like this.

Oh, no.
It's great to see you.

Really?

Yeah, I've been thinking about you,
wondering how you've been holding up.

Oh, that's real nice of you.

Jesus, you look good.

Oh, Will, this is Joe Heiser.

I think I talked to you about him.

Will.

Oh, Will, the sailor.
I've heard a lot about you, so...

How you've been doing?

So, you got killed, huh?

I mean, Psychologically.

In your big game of...

ritual warfare.

I wouldn't say that.

It's really amazing, those Cup boats.

So...

what percentage of the success of a boat is from
the design and how much is just skill of the sailor?

Oh, it's hard to say.
Every race is different.

Yeah, but it's important.

I mean, the design is important.

Yes, it's important.

I mean, who'd spend so much on boat
if it wasn't important, would they?

So how much?

I mean, how much does it cost to build one of those boats?

You know what they say about boats:
they are holes in the water where you throw money.

It's quite a place you got here, Kate.

We like it.

I've always been interested in sailboats.

You know, they are very similar to aircraft.

Hey, Joe, Wanna give me a
hand here for a second?

You know, a lot the same principles apply.

What are you doing?

- What do you mean?
- Why are you hustling Will?

I don't really think he's up for it.

Besides, he's broke.

Well, that's not the point.

I mean, he's got something.
He's got something you can sell.

What about our work?
What we are doing?

What we are doing is on the brink of a blackhole.

A shot in the dark is better than no shot at all.

Joe, this is just hard for me.
Can you just, please drop it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't worry, dear.
I promise.

You know, there's always more than
one way to skin a cat, you know.

Doesn't have to be such a big complicated deal of it.

We could test the boat miles down
in the river, right down here.

And I got the guys and hangar working.
Great guys, all the tools we need, the know-how.

And we'd be independent down here, you know;
working together, you know; tied like a team, closely

And you'd be in control of everything.

Could do it almost for nothing.

Oh, you're so full of it.
It's pathetic.

You know, there is one thing...

might be better than winning the cup.

It's losing the Cup and then winning it back.

You're so demented.

What? You haven't had enough?

What are you getting angry about?
I mean, we're just talking.

There was a time when I thought
I had to explain myself to you...

but that time is long gone.

You know, we can do it.

We can go down there to Australia
and win it back.

No worry about her.

I can handle her.

A great designer who knows
how to handle woman.

Quite a guy!

You see Will leave?

He's gone?

There're mushrooms down by the creek.

Abigail.

All right, Madame Butterfly.

Hey!

Parker!

The famous fumbler.

Listen, is your father around?
I really need to talk to him.

I think so.

I don't live there any more.

I'm camping out down by the beach house.

But, keep your eyes open.
He's um....

He's in rare form these days.

Ok, thanks.
See you later.

Stop!

Turn around.

Who are you?

What do you want?
Whadda you doing here?

I came to see Mr. Weld.

Mr. Weld isn't receiving visitors.

Will.

Come in, boy!

It's good to see you.

Ah, you've been hiding out
as long as I have, huh?

You're looking good.
Come on in.

Have a cup of coffee.
Come in, sit down, boy.

Listen... sit down. I'll give you a cup...
Ok, before I give you the coffee...

Let me show you something.
I've been figuring things.

And I forgot....
Here, this will tell you...

Why this country in such a mess.
Read it.

Read it!

"Chicago Cabbie," huh?

"Wins $ 4 million in lottery."

- Yeah.
- Lottery!

You think I got all this by guessing numbers, Will?

I broke my ass.

My father was a patato farmer.

Excuse me. I...

... from Idaho.

- I've been doing a lot of thinking about...
- Everybody wants it easy now, Will.

See, I'd like to make a proposal to...

They want it.
They want it on a plate.

And the reason we don't have the Cup, Will...

is that we don't deserve to have the Cup.

Oh.

We could try again, you see?

Again?

Yeah.

No.

Will, you're a decent person.

Go back to that girl, get married...

live in the country, be a Quaker,
first man on Mars, anything,

but don't, don't, don't
bullshit yourself.

I'm not bullshitting myself.

I'm willing to get it back, sir.

I can do it.

- You think you can do it?
- I know I can.

Then you take it.

Go ahead, take it.

Take it!

Cock.

Cock the damn thing!

Put it right there.

No.

Now.

Do you think if I were the only thing
between you and that Cup?

Do you think....

you can pull the triger?

Mm?

No.

You'd make a good martyr.

but not a soldier, not a Caesar,

You don't want blood on your hands.

Forget it, Will.

You haven't got it.

Forget it.

I can guess what Daddy said to you.

He said...

you're too clumsy for ballet,

you don't have a head for business.

(You've) been to the best schools in the country,
and you haven't graduated from any of them.

He just basically told you you're a loser, right?

Right.

Maybe he's right.

He's just wallowing in self-pity.

He can't face the fact that he's a failure.

God, I hate boats.

How do you feel about, winning?

It's beyond my experience.

You know how (do) you win a sailboat race?

Imagine that your hand...

it's a beautiful boat.

sailing along in a...
beautiful breeze.

Along comes another boat...

steals your wind, smothers you,
takes away your power.

So you steer, of course,
to stay away from the other boat.

But it comes back, covers you again,
steals your breeze, takes your power.

You see? Most important thing is...

finding your own wind,

sailing along under your own power,

staying out of the other boat's shadow.

You've beautiful hands.

What do you want?

You know who Geronimo was, hmm?

He's an Indian.

He's a man who kept...
fighting for what he believed

and he never gave up...

right til the end.

What am I gonna do with you?

You're this astro in the making.

I'm gonna need a therapy after this,
I can tell.

Not enough forward buoyancy.

In downwind leg,
it could turn into a submarine.

Well, as long as it's a fast submarine,
what's the difference?

Yes.

They sink to the bottom like a rock.

It's not a big problem,
we can overcome that.

Listen, Joe...

you've never been in one of these things.
I'm telling you, it's a problem.

There's a lot of wind in Australia.

It's your opinion, right?
That's what you think.

Don't guess at things.
Look at the numbers.

Numbers don't lie!

What do your numbers tell you about
squalls, tides, break waves, huh?

I know you discount my work
because you don't understand it.

You know what you don't understand?

That a mathematical process...

can be very intuitive.
It's like music.

You know what your problem is?

You're over-sensitive
because once upon a time...

you thought it was more
important to go out sailing...

that you passed trigonometry.

You don't know a diddlysquat about boats.

You're impossible.
This is impossible!

How can I work with that?
How can I work with you?

How can I work with such a
hardheaded ignoramus on my back?

The wave is so big, and the wind is
so strong, and the tide and the...

What do you want? Noahs Ark?

I could see it.

Good.

And how does the
water know the boat's coming?

What does it really?

It drives the log with the
boat to different speeds.

Good idea was this tack!
Clear water.

God, yeah. Oh, but the river was a good idea
The river was a good idea, too.

It was a good idea, but you
couldn't see the bow wave.

So, what do you think?

- No, no. I wanna know what you think.
- Shut up. I wanna hear your opinions.

- Oh.
- Well, I think maybe we should try your idea.

Maybe we should move the keel back.

Wait, I think your suggestion was good to
move it forward because (it) would backwork.

You think so?

We can try it.

You expecting anybody?

Well, might be the IRS.

Maybe it's the Australians,
coming to spy on us.

Hi.

Is this it?

Yeah, this is it!

Really, how did you get that?

Oh, I sort of kidnapped it from my father.

Oh, this is Joe.
Abigail.

Oh. Hi. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.
Will talked a about you.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

Was I wrong to come?

No.

Good. I've to pee,
really badly. So?

- Oh, Joe?
- Yeah?

Yeah, yeah. You just go ahead to the hangar,
to the left and straight ahead.

Bye!

Hang on.

Don't you animals, you know you...

Hi. Who are you?

Oh, I'm Abigail Weld.

Oh, hi, I'm Kate.

I work with Joe.

- Kate?
- Yes.

Oh, Hello!

- Well, welcome.
- Thank you.

Oh, well...

Is this...
the only bathroom?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, because I... really desperate.
Thank you.

Or you can go outside.

Oh, No, no, thanks.
I'll just take the room.

Do you know the airframe is the lightest and
most efficient construction in aluminum.

They are very strong and
is relatively inexpensive, too.

These're all fascinating.

There's something I have to tell you.

I wanted to tell you face-to-face.

I have less money available to me
than I was led to believe.

- How much less?
- A lot.

A lot.
So what you got?

Approximately $ 200.000.

- It's really bad.
- No, no, it's not bad at all.

I mean, you don't have to
start racing on them.

I, I can't.
I don't know anything technical.

Don't worry about it.
I'll explain everything.

I've plucked a few peaches in my day.

Well, to be honest with you,
I really don't know if I can do this.

Sure you can.

I guess we'll have to be gliding for a while.

You haven't been up in an
airplane without the motor?

It's real great.

I'll take you up.
I'm sure you'll love it.

Why worried?

I mean, what could possibly happen?

Of course my design could
turn out to have a few flaws and...

after a couple of weeks, turns out
that Will and I hate each other.

Then Abigail proves to be the flake of the century,
she can't raise a dime.

And this big tornado comes,

tears this place apart, we're broke,
they put us in jail.

The state department wants to throw me
out of the country, but I fool them.

'cause in jail, I cash them all in, I die.

Hello!

Ok. Now I'm ready to really go to work.

You like it?

Hi, Nick, it's Abbie Weld.

I know we haven't spoken since college.

But you're vice president,

it's amazing.

No, no, I'm not calling about a job.
I...

Yeah, sure. I can call back in half a hour,
how about that? Ok, fine, bye bye.

Would you sign this, please?

- What's this?
- Oh, it's just a standard contract.

I think we should have
a legal deal on paper.

Contracts are my job, aren't they?

Yeah, but I mean, you guys are
amateurs in this business,

it's important that I have
total control of the design and...

Total control? What're you
talking about, partner?

You're not signing off on the design of this boat
until I feel it's right, not for you, not for anybody.

Look, we have to just really figure
out who's responsible for what.

You guys'll work on the hull,
we'll work on the sails, Abigail...

Well, listen, ...

I'm putting my reputation at stake here.
What happens if we don't agree on anything, huh?

What happens if we run out of money?

I'll be left there, holding the bag!

Heiser, stop talking like you're the
only one taking any risks there.

It really pisses me off!

Why would I give you total control of the design?

I mean, you haven't even proved that
you can builld something that will stay afloat.

What do you mean that it won't stay float...

Well, I have an idea for a new kind of fossil.

Mm hmm.

What's so special about this?

Ok, I got the idea from a beatle.

Now it's got this hard wing covers, they lift up,
and they act as big downwind sails.

If we can use that same mechanism
on the boat, it'll fly.

- Heiser likes this idea, yeah?
- No, but that's because it's not his idea.

So, $2500 for the prototype?
And then...

Well, you know, it's such a nickel and dime operation,
that we've got to take these kinda of risks.

Don't talk to me about nickel and dime
operations. Money's my department.

Well, money may be your department, but if you
don't listen to ideas, then we don't have a chance.

Look, I don't wanna hear this from you right now.

Look...

I'd like to think myself as a member of this team!

Will and I have been at this
game for 15 years.

You show up here last week and
ever pointed yourself the queen bee!

Yeah, but it's my money!

And I'd like to think that I have
some say in how it's spent!

You're right.
I'm sorry.

Well,

I'll think about it.

We're gonna need as much waterline as we can get.

I factored in the average weather in that
part of Australia over the last 20 years.

We gotta play the percentages.

- You mean compromise?
- Yeah, of course.

You always get a point when you have to stop
torturing yourself, and play the percentages.

You're afraid of committing yourself.

You have this desire for perfection.

What's wrong with perfection?

Nothing.

If you're God...

if you're prepared to wait 500 million
years for which we've evolved.

But we gotta start building this boat in the next week.

That's it.

Skye, I need your help.

Yeah. Yeah that's right.

Come on, No. No, I'm not
joking. It's really happening.

When can you be here?
Fantastic! I'm counting on you.

Sheik, it's time to
come out of the woods.

You're not gonna believe this,
but it's happening!

Listen, what about Otis?

You're kidding me!

Fantastic!
All right.

Hey, Charley.

It's happening, baby.

Yeah, it's time to go to work.

Listen, you know where I can find Hook?

Thanks a lot, Mooney.
I'm glad I can count on you.

Listen, you don't know how
I can reach Bruno, do you?

You're kidding me! Borneo?

We're out in the desert,
so bring some beer.

We're looking for help
from the private sector.

Yes, individuals with heart and vision,
like yourself.

It's more than just a boat race.
It's...

It's proof that America hasn't
lost it's competetive edge.

This is the quintessential all American endeavor.

Ur, what?

Oh, no, no. Sure.
I'll hold.

Damn!

... a slight counting error.

I gambled, I thought we'd covered by now.
We're not.

This is an incredibly humiliating experience.

How could they do this to us?

And when big companies become rich,
they wanna become respectable.

So what have we got to sell that could
make them look more respectable?

Let's face it. What we're doing here is not
about saving the world or curing cancer. It's...

It's just about good clean fun.

Well, that's it.

That's it! Clean.

White sail on a blue sea.
What's more clean than that?

We can't do it on the phone.

We gotta press the flesh.
We gotta go and hustle.

Do you've a suit?

Has he got a decent suit?

- So you have a decent suit?
- I got a decent suit.

kate, what're you doing?

Looking at the stars.

Oh, Yeah!

Wow!

It makes me feel so small.

You could spend the night out here?

I don't know, maybe.

This feels like old times.

Kate, I'm still in love with you.

Can we just lie here, and not talk?

I'm selling clean air,
he's sucking on a cigarette.

Oh, the lady's all legs and no brains.
(brains, plural, meaning intelligence)

But...

We got it all.

- What! You got it all?
- Yes!

Ladies and gentlemen, all of Australia's
with us today...

come to cheer the boys on.

Welcome to the 31th event of America's Cup!

Long-shot "Geronimo" is still on the warpath.

The Americans squeaking out their victories over 7 other
international contenders in their beat to challenge Australia.

Underdog Will Parker has had
all the breaks in his finals.

And somehow, he's managed to
hang Jack Neville 3 defeats out of 5.

But just how long can his beginner's luck hold?

It's awfully hard to run a windboat campaign
at this level of competition.

And "Geronimo" is getting battle-weary
from her three months of trials.

Abigail Weld hits up the shoestring syndicate,

but you can be sure there's
another Weld pulling the strings.

The Yanks have a chance to
put it away today, They lead 3-2.

But as they head for the finish,
it's Australia just in front.

- All right. Here it comes.
- Behold!

It's gonna be close.

It's gonna be close.
We're gonna have to duck it.

Stand by to tack!

- Come on!
- Tacking.

Neville's coming back to cover.

Behold!

- We're down 5.
- Son of a bitch found out our preference.

We need a bit more pace.

Already he's coming at us.
Let's go back!

Tacking!

All right.

It's looking good, Will.
Looking very good.

Gaining on the bow plane.

Trim the main! Trim the main!

Speed's increasing.
We're at 8.2.

Behold!

Our course is 1-7-5.
It's down 5.

We're just sailing like a fucking maggot!

All watch your head
and short tack.

I'm not going to give it,
Let's go, now!

Head down!

Ok, we're gaining bearing.
I think we can cross now, Will.

Don't tell me what you think.
Tell me what you know!

We're gonna cross it!

We're gaining on the side.

We're fine. We're gonna cross.
Let's go for it.

I don't believe you, Charley.
Mooney...

Are we gaining trice on them or not?

We're gonna make it.
Let's go for it.

Looks like they'll be hitting in heave bray.
A really bad situation.

Starboard!

Hold your cart, pull back!

- What the bloody hell do they think they're doing?
- What are they doing?

We're not gonna make it.

- We're not gonna make it!
- We're gonna cross them!

We're not gonna make it!
You always say that we always make it!

We're tacking starboad!

- Impact, Will!
- Jesus!

What's going on here?

Jesus Christ, Jack!

You were too slow!

What do you mean I was too slow.
You said we could make it!

Since when do you trust anybody?

Get down bloody ways, Parker!

Well, it was only a matter of time
before the Americans ran out of luck...

and Jack Neville's years of experience
caught up with them.

The word from the race committee tonight
is they will not allow a couple of cowboys

to turn this challenge into a free-for-all.

- Who started the fight?
- He did !

I think when Jack woke up this morning he thought
he was a sumo wrestler instead of a sailor.

It's got nothing to do with
body sumo wrestling.

The real tragedy...

is that we've lost our mast.

And we have a broken spare.

And if we don't have a mast,
we're not in the race.

Is that the way you wanna win it?

I tell you what, mate, I came
here to sail against you!

... against the yachtsmen,
not against the bloody marines!

Jonathan!

BBC Television. Jack, what will you be
submitting to the protest hearing tonight?

I'll be submitting the truth, which is
that we were on the starboard tack...

And that they were on the port tack.

And that it was our right of way.

And that we should've won the bloody race!

- You should have avoided our boat.
- The race was ours!

You had an opportunity to steer
around our boat, you didn't!

The Australian skipper...

could have, avoided a collision...

should have avoided a collision...

Are we saying that I thought I had enough room...

But the ...

The truth...

The truth is I didn't.
And...

This race belongs to Australia.

It's an extraordinary development here in Fremantle.

An unprecedented concession
by the American skipper

now leaves the series all tied-up of 3 races each
and they'll sail tomorrow.

Are you sure it's in here?

I don't know. I didn't pack it.
It might be in the other one.

Maybe we forgot it.

You notice? It's amazing
how things just come for me.

You know, I've been thinking, thinking, thinking...
about how to generate more lift...

Joe, can you help me, please?
This is very important to me.

It's a Kevlar bag.
It's got white stars on it.

Yeah, I sort of imagined this huge shape go by,
with almost no...

- It just came to me. Boom.
- Are you listening to me?

You're lying on it.
Get up.

Oh, the whimper. Yeah,
I thought it was here.

- It's the whomper.
- Yes, whomper.

Whomper?

The world's largest bug wing.

All right. Let's go.

What the hell are you doing?

I'm giving our extra mast to
Jack so we can race tomorrow.

On whose authority?

Mine.

You don't have any authority any more.

- What?
- You're fired, through history!

Listen, Abbie, go home
and take a shower.

We all worked our asses off
to get this chance.

And we're almost there and what you do?
You betray us with your hick principles!

What a load of crap!

Do you have any idea how
humiliated I was in there?

I am head of this syndicate
and Charley is now skipper.

Now get outta here!

And you can get off this premises
before I call the police!

Charley?

- Hey!
- What?

Charley, what the hell is going on?

You're outta here!

No, you're outta of here.

Get outta here!

Stop playing the flaming bitch!
You aren't the ...

Shut up!

Congratulations!

You've done a wonderful job,
all of you!

Well done!

You restored my faith.

- Who's he?
- You've had to turn up, didn't you?

It's time for the amateurs to step aside,
and let the professionals take over.

And don't worry.

I will skipper the final race.

Will somebody please tell me
who this guy is?

Can he do this?

Probably.

Most of our sponsors are controlled
by one of his secret holding companies.

You're not doing this, daddy!

I didn't spend 4 million dollars
for some kind of power play.

I did it for the love of my little princess.

I...

I believe in your abilities.
I believe in all of your abilities.

I can make it all right.

The Cup will go back to America
where it belongs.

I can redeem everything!

Men, we've got a race to win.

Morgan, the Cup's right over there
and you're in our way.

One, two, three!

Ah, that's private property!

I'm warning you!

This is mutiny!

Kate?

Yeah?

Kate, I've been looking all over for you.

Yeah?

Open the door.

Why?

Well, listen, I was thinking...

I know what you're thinking,
and you can forget it!

I'm not replacing Charley.
You don't need me.

You're right, I don't need you.

We're all rowdy individuals, right?
Nobody needs anybody.

The fact is, I do need you, Kate.
I really need you. So what do you say?

Listen, Kate...

Last night I realized it.

Well, if we lose, all this will still be worth it.
but...

if we win it and you're not on the boat...

this just won't mean anything.

Kate,

I can't trust anybody else.

I can never trust anybody else
like I trust you.

What do you say, huh?

Tails... you stay here.

For heads, you sail with me.

Only this time, Kate,
we'll do it (in) our way.

There's been a bit shake-up for the American avant-garde.

Kate Bass is replacing Charley Gaines
as tactician on the Geronimo.

So the old team of Parker and Bass
are back together again.

Tacking!

It's showdown time in Perth, Australia.

There will be no protest flags today.

Both sides have agreed to waive the rules
and settle this match on the water.

At the start they'll jockey to get behind
each other till the gun goes off...

the boat behind trying to force
the leader over the line early.

Let's join the pre-start maneuvering now,

just about a minute left on the countdown clock.

- Tacking!
- Three, two, one. One minute down!

Swinging.

Pump it.
Attaboy!

That's it!

I'm on it.

Thirty five.

Let's go!

Twenty four.

Stop!

Twenty two.

Twenty seconds.

Hold it.

Sixteen.

Where's that bloody red boat?

Let go for the life!

Nine, Eight, Seven, Six...

Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Gun!

What?

What do you mean what?

See that over there?

See it?
Let's tack.

It's pretty risky.

Come on, it's right there. You can
pratically touch it. Let's go.

All right, boys. Quiet.

Let's roll tack.

They're up to something.

They're tacking.

Trim, trim, trim.

Looks great.

1, 1-2

2, 2-5

I like it.

"Geronimo" picked up a patch of wind
on the left side of the course.

and the Americans have squeezed out a four boat lead.

Australians trying to find their groove
as they head to the winward mark.

Three boat legs to the pylon!

Stand by to tack!

Tacking!

Let's get some wind.

They're slow on this tack.

Tacking, behold!

Ten boat lengths to the mark!

Straight set, starboard pull!

It's gotta be clean.

Jack's gaining in.

They'll tack behind us.

Ahead by six boat lengths.

Four legs!

Hold that speed.

Ok... Bow's at the mark.
Steady, tack!

Clear.

Peel it off. Put up the "White Boy 5", quick!

Hoist!

Get that jib down!

Ready, forward.

Comming down!

Get it in! Let's go.

Sheik!

Sheik! Hang on!

Take the wheel, Kate.

Bye Bye, Parker!

Shit!

Will, use the Whomper!

We gotta use it!

The what?

Ok, here we go.

Jesus! We'll never catch 'em now.

- Okay, we gotta use my new sail.
- Your what?

- The Whomper.
- The Whomper?

The Whomper. You're gonna put it on,
because it's gonna whomp!

And we're gonna get back in this goddamn race!

Now!

Will you trust me for once
you pigbrain neocon boob?

Sheik! Put up the...

- Whomper!
- The Whomper!

What're you looking at?

Nothing. I'll get it.

Geronimo just hoisted a monstrous spinnaker.
Look at that...

It's the whimp..., it's the
Whomper! It's my Whomper.

It's your what?

My Whomper!

It's one of my inventions.

Uncleat.

Huff!

Huff! Huff!

Lighten it up!

- Luff hard and get a spear-fishing, Rubsey?
- Good, Jack. Well, it's gonna be a hot luff.

Huff! Keep it up!

- Come on, come on!
- What're you doing? What're you doing, Jack!

- Squib!
- Ha ha ha!

Yeehah!

Oh, what a pity! It looks like Jack Neville
has just given the Americans tit-for-tac.

This is it, the final leg. 1.5 miles from the finish line.
Australia doggedly hanging onto the lead.

Parker's only hope is that he can get to some
clear area somewhere on the course.

But at the moment, Playtypus controls
Geronimo with her wind shadow.

If Parker tries to break away, and hit for the clear area,

Nevilles tacks right on top of him, stealing his wind.

"Geronimo" has 3 or 4 boat lengths to make up
and very little of this course left in which to do it.

At wave!

At wave!

Tacking!

Starboard leap. Come in tack!

Are we gaining on them?
We're gaining on them, boys!

Trim the wind. Tacking!

Tacking!

Behold!

At wave!

We're back!

Eleven hundred yards to the finish line!

They're crossing!

Stand by!

Tacking!

Behold!

All right, if we're gonna do this,
we got to outtack them!

Tacking!

Let's wear them down!

Go! Go! Go!

900 yards to go!

Come on, girls!
Let's eat 'em up!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Let's go, Jack,
We've gotta tack.

Ok, Tacking!

Here we go!

We're gaining it back, boys!

Gaining back!

800 yards!

Behold!

Here we go again. Helm down.

Jack's boat coming back!

Behold!

They're gonna tack, Jack.

Okay. Tacking!

Behold!

600 yards!

Tack again,
We gotta go!

Ok, get ready to tack.

- Ok, how are we looking?
- This is the right way to get it, Jack.

Ok. Tacking!

Behold!

Barstard!

Behold!

500 yards to the line!

Here we go again!

Behold!

About. Tack!

300 yards to go!

All right, we're gonna have to take 'em out!

(I) think we can arrive at the finish line
from here, and we should go for it right now.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Ok. Tacking!

Behold!

Go! Go!

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Sailors, hustle up!

Gotta get it back, Jack!

It's wrong. It's a dummy.
Let's get it back.

- Jack, we gotta stay in their way!
- Tacking!

Lee-oh!

(We) gotta get it back!

Oh, no! Parker's faked out Neville.
He's thrown him a dummy tack.

"Geronimo" has finally get it on in the clear wind!

200 yards!

Come on, guys!
We gotta do it!

We got it!
