﻿1
00:00:00,499 --> 00:00:01,498
- Good evening.

2
00:00:01,499 --> 00:00:02,499
Right now, I'm on a rooftop

3
00:00:03,499 --> 00:00:05,498
in the heart of historic
downtown Los Angeles,

4
00:00:05,499 --> 00:00:07,498
overseeing
the final preparations

5
00:00:07,499 --> 00:00:08,498
for what could be

6
00:00:08,499 --> 00:00:10,499
one of the most
astonishing events

7
00:00:10,940 --> 00:00:13,498
to ever be broadcast
on television,

8
00:00:13,499 --> 00:00:16,498
an event that could change
a man's life forever.

9
00:00:16,499 --> 00:00:17,498
This is Corey,

10
00:00:17,499 --> 00:00:20,498
an ordinary guy whose
life is in a rut.

11
00:00:20,499 --> 00:00:22,498
But two weeks ago,

12
00:00:22,499 --> 00:00:25,498
I secretly took over
Corey's entire identity

13
00:00:25,499 --> 00:00:27,498
with one goal in mind:

14
00:00:27,499 --> 00:00:30,498
to transform
a totally unremarkable man

15
00:00:30,499 --> 00:00:32,498
into a national hero.

16
00:00:32,499 --> 00:00:34,498
How will I do it?

17
00:00:34,499 --> 00:00:36,498
Well, if everything
goes as planned,

18
00:00:36,499 --> 00:00:39,498
in just moments,
a crowd below

19
00:00:39,499 --> 00:00:43,498
will be inspired as Corey
steps off this rooftop

20
00:00:43,499 --> 00:00:46,499
and performs a death-defying
tightrope walk for charity.

21
00:00:47,499 --> 00:00:48,498
But what no one will know

22
00:00:48,499 --> 00:00:51,498
is that the man
who's really walking that wire

23
00:00:51,499 --> 00:00:52,498
will be me.

24
00:00:52,499 --> 00:00:54,498
<i>[suspenseful music]</i>

25
00:00:54,499 --> 00:00:56,498
<i>I've always believed</i>
<i>that there's a hero</i>

26
00:00:56,499 --> 00:00:58,498
<i>inside each</i>
<i>and every one of us.</i>

27
00:00:58,499 --> 00:01:01,498
<i>So nine months ago,</i>
<i>to inspire you,</i>

28
00:01:01,499 --> 00:01:03,498
<i>I began working</i>
<i>on a secret project</i>

29
00:01:03,499 --> 00:01:05,498
<i>to prove that even</i>
<i>the most unlikely people</i>

30
00:01:05,499 --> 00:01:08,498
<i>have the potential</i>
<i>for greatness.</i>

31
00:01:08,499 --> 00:01:10,498
<i>Can anyone become a hero?</i>

32
00:01:10,499 --> 00:01:12,498
<i>Well, tonight,</i>
<i>you're about to find out.</i>

33
00:01:12,499 --> 00:01:14,499
<i>♪</i>

34
00:01:16,499 --> 00:01:19,498
<i>When I decided I wanted</i>
<i>to transform someone's life,</i>

35
00:01:19,499 --> 00:01:21,498
<i>I knew I needed</i>
<i>to find a person</i>

36
00:01:21,499 --> 00:01:23,498
<i>who was beyond hopeless.</i>

37
00:01:23,499 --> 00:01:24,498
<i>So I sent out</i>
<i>a team of producers</i>

38
00:01:24,499 --> 00:01:28,498
<i>to scour food courts,</i>
<i>coffee shops, gas stations,</i>

39
00:01:28,499 --> 00:01:30,498
<i>and comic book stores,</i>
<i>looking for people</i>

40
00:01:30,499 --> 00:01:32,498
<i>who wanted a better life.</i>

41
00:01:32,499 --> 00:01:34,498
<i>The producers told them</i>
<i>they were recruiting</i>

42
00:01:34,499 --> 00:01:36,499
<i>for a new reality show,</i>
<i>in which participants</i>

43
00:01:37,499 --> 00:01:38,498
<i>would receive a life makeover.</i>

44
00:01:38,499 --> 00:01:41,498
<i>And after an exhaustive</i>
<i>search that lasted weeks,</i>

45
00:01:41,499 --> 00:01:43,498
<i>someone finally caught my eye.</i>

46
00:01:43,499 --> 00:01:46,499
<i>- My name is</i>
<i>Corey Calderwood, and, uh...</i>

47
00:01:47,499 --> 00:01:50,498
<i>I work at an arcade</i>
<i>right now three days a week.</i>

48
00:01:50,499 --> 00:01:52,498
<i>- Corey was single,</i>
<i>stuck in a dead-end job,</i>

49
00:01:52,499 --> 00:01:54,498
<i>and lived with his parents.</i>

50
00:01:54,499 --> 00:01:56,499
<i>He didn't seem to have</i>
<i>any life plans whatsoever,</i>

51
00:01:57,180 --> 00:01:58,498
<i>so I paid him a visit</i>
<i>at his home</i>

52
00:01:58,499 --> 00:01:59,499
<i>in Ventura, California,</i>

53
00:02:00,499 --> 00:02:02,499
<i>with an offer to change</i>
<i>his life forever.</i>

54
00:02:03,499 --> 00:02:04,498
Are you happy
with where you're at

55
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:05,499
in your life right now?

56
00:02:08,499 --> 00:02:10,498
- Uh...

57
00:02:10,499 --> 00:02:12,498
Most of the time,
I'd say I have those moments

58
00:02:12,499 --> 00:02:14,498
where you feel like
it could be better, you know?

59
00:02:14,499 --> 00:02:16,498
There's things
that I still want,

60
00:02:16,499 --> 00:02:17,498
I guess.

61
00:02:17,499 --> 00:02:19,498
<i>- Corey spends</i>
<i>most of his days</i>

62
00:02:19,499 --> 00:02:22,498
<i>caring for his parents' house</i>
<i>where he still lives,</i>

63
00:02:22,499 --> 00:02:23,498
<i>playing video games,</i>

64
00:02:23,499 --> 00:02:25,498
<i>and organizing</i>
<i>his collection of</i>

65
00:02:25,499 --> 00:02:26,498
<i>"Magic: The Gathering" cards.</i>

66
00:02:26,499 --> 00:02:29,498
- Just a fun little way
to pass some time.

67
00:02:29,499 --> 00:02:32,498
<i>- But since his mom and stepdad</i>
<i>are away in Hawaii</i>

68
00:02:32,499 --> 00:02:33,498
<i>on business most of the year,</i>

69
00:02:33,499 --> 00:02:36,498
<i>his grandparents have become</i>
<i>his main caregivers.</i>

70
00:02:36,499 --> 00:02:39,498
<i>And they, too, would like</i>
<i>to see more from Corey.</i>

71
00:02:39,499 --> 00:02:40,498
- He has a great
potential.

72
00:02:40,499 --> 00:02:44,498
He just doesn't
either know how to

73
00:02:44,499 --> 00:02:47,499
achieve it
or to get into it.

74
00:02:48,499 --> 00:02:49,498
<i>He just seems to be</i>

75
00:02:49,499 --> 00:02:51,498
gliding through
life right now.

76
00:02:51,499 --> 00:02:54,498
- Just slip-sliding away.
- Slip-sliding away.

77
00:02:54,499 --> 00:02:56,498
<i>- Corey was</i>
<i>the perfect candidate.</i>

78
00:02:56,499 --> 00:02:58,498
<i>But I had to make sure</i>
<i>he was willing</i>

79
00:02:58,499 --> 00:03:00,498
<i>to play by my rules.</i>

80
00:03:00,499 --> 00:03:01,498
I should tell you,
that you won't have

81
00:03:01,499 --> 00:03:04,498
much information
throughout this process.

82
00:03:04,499 --> 00:03:06,498
And once we get started,
you will be

83
00:03:06,499 --> 00:03:09,498
completely cut off
from the outside world.

84
00:03:09,499 --> 00:03:10,499
- All right.

85
00:03:11,499 --> 00:03:12,498
That is interesting.

86
00:03:12,499 --> 00:03:14,498
- But I can tell you
that if you do this,

87
00:03:14,499 --> 00:03:18,498
by the time I'm done,
you will reemerge

88
00:03:18,499 --> 00:03:21,498
as a national hero.

89
00:03:21,499 --> 00:03:22,498
So...

90
00:03:22,499 --> 00:03:23,499
Are you in?

91
00:03:26,499 --> 00:03:27,498
- Yeah.

92
00:03:27,499 --> 00:03:28,499
- You sure?

93
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:30,498
- Sure.

94
00:03:30,499 --> 00:03:31,498
<i>- With Corey on board</i>

95
00:03:31,499 --> 00:03:33,499
<i>and a legal liability waiver</i>
<i>signed,</i>

96
00:03:34,499 --> 00:03:36,498
<i>I could now begin the process</i>
<i>of learning everything</i>

97
00:03:36,499 --> 00:03:39,498
<i>about him, as my plan</i>
<i>would soon require me</i>

98
00:03:39,499 --> 00:03:41,498
<i>to secretly take over</i>
<i>Corey's life.</i>

99
00:03:41,499 --> 00:03:43,498
- My stepdad travels
for his work.

100
00:03:43,499 --> 00:03:44,498
I definitely find braces

101
00:03:44,499 --> 00:03:46,498
to be really cute,
for some reason.

102
00:03:46,499 --> 00:03:48,498
I like alfredo pasta.

103
00:03:48,499 --> 00:03:49,498
And I worked at
a call center.

104
00:03:49,499 --> 00:03:51,498
I've worked at
a recycling factory.

105
00:03:51,499 --> 00:03:54,498
My favorite movie
of all time was "Tommy Boy."

106
00:03:54,499 --> 00:03:55,498
I just say "cool beans"
a lot.

107
00:03:55,499 --> 00:03:57,498
- Cool beans.
- Cool beans.

108
00:03:57,499 --> 00:04:00,498
<i>- But learning facts about</i>
<i>Corey wouldn't be enough,</i>

109
00:04:00,499 --> 00:04:03,498
<i>as my plan would require me</i>
<i>to physically become him.</i>

110
00:04:03,499 --> 00:04:05,498
<i>So I asked him to give me</i>
<i>a tour of his bedroom,</i>

111
00:04:05,499 --> 00:04:07,498
<i>with the real purpose</i>
<i>of secretly</i>

112
00:04:07,499 --> 00:04:09,499
<i>studying his mannerisms</i>
<i>and the way he moved.</i>

113
00:04:10,499 --> 00:04:11,498
- Well, normally,
I mean--

114
00:04:11,499 --> 00:04:12,499
I just go on for
a little bit.

115
00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:14,498
<i>- But to pull this off,</i>

116
00:04:14,499 --> 00:04:17,498
<i>my resemblance to Corey</i>
<i>would have to go further.</i>

117
00:04:17,499 --> 00:04:19,498
<i>So the next day, we told him</i>
<i>he'd have to take</i>

118
00:04:19,499 --> 00:04:22,498
<i>a routine physical</i>
<i>to make sure he was fit enough</i>

119
00:04:22,499 --> 00:04:23,498
<i>to participate in the show.</i>

120
00:04:23,499 --> 00:04:26,498
<i>But what Corey didn't know</i>
<i>is that the doctor</i>

121
00:04:26,499 --> 00:04:29,498
<i>was actually four-time</i>
<i>Emmy-nominated makeup artist</i>

122
00:04:29,499 --> 00:04:31,498
<i>Vincent Van Dyke,</i>
<i>who, in the guise of</i>

123
00:04:31,499 --> 00:04:34,498
<i>performing some</i>
<i>routine medical tests...</i>

124
00:04:34,499 --> 00:04:35,498
- So this is gonna just
test for epilepsy.

125
00:04:35,499 --> 00:04:37,499
I'm just gonna have you
close your eyes, okay?

126
00:04:38,499 --> 00:04:40,498
<i>- Was able to secure</i>
<i>our most crucial asset</i>

127
00:04:40,499 --> 00:04:42,498
<i>for my transformation:</i>

128
00:04:42,499 --> 00:04:45,498
<i>a full 3-D laser scan</i>
<i>of Corey's face.</i>

129
00:04:45,499 --> 00:04:47,499
<i>[dramatic music]</i>

130
00:04:48,499 --> 00:04:49,498
- All right,
thank you so much.

131
00:04:49,499 --> 00:04:51,498
I appreciate it.
- No problem.

132
00:04:51,499 --> 00:04:53,498
<i>- With his digitized</i>
<i>facial map on file,</i>

133
00:04:53,499 --> 00:04:55,498
<i>I had it sent</i>
<i>to a 3-D printer</i>

134
00:04:55,499 --> 00:04:57,498
<i>to create</i>
<i>a life-size replica bust.</i>

135
00:04:57,499 --> 00:05:00,499
<i>And once complete, it was</i>
<i>delivered to Vincent's studio</i>

136
00:05:01,499 --> 00:05:04,498
<i>in Burbank, where he began</i>
<i>the process of casting the mold</i>

137
00:05:04,499 --> 00:05:07,498
<i>for the latex prosthetic</i>
<i>that would turn me</i>

138
00:05:07,499 --> 00:05:08,499
<i>into Corey Calderwood.</i>

139
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:10,498
<i>But for what</i>
<i>I was about to do next,</i>

140
00:05:10,499 --> 00:05:13,498
<i>I had to get</i>
<i>the real Corey out of town.</i>

141
00:05:13,499 --> 00:05:15,498
Just so you don't know
where you're going,

142
00:05:15,499 --> 00:05:17,498
I'm gonna put this bag
over your head.

143
00:05:17,499 --> 00:05:18,498
Is that okay?

144
00:05:18,499 --> 00:05:19,498
- Yeah. Yeah.

145
00:05:19,499 --> 00:05:22,498
- Okay.

146
00:05:22,499 --> 00:05:23,498
You can breathe okay?

147
00:05:23,499 --> 00:05:25,498
- Yeah.

148
00:05:25,499 --> 00:05:26,498
<i>- Once I assumed</i>
<i>his identity,</i>

149
00:05:26,499 --> 00:05:28,498
<i>there couldn't be two of us.</i>

150
00:05:28,499 --> 00:05:30,498
Okay, you comfortable?
- Yeah.

151
00:05:30,499 --> 00:05:32,498
<i>- So I needed to</i>
<i>completely isolate Corey</i>

152
00:05:32,499 --> 00:05:34,498
<i>from the rest of the world--</i>

153
00:05:34,499 --> 00:05:37,498
<i>away from phones, internet,</i>
<i>and especially his family.</i>

154
00:05:37,499 --> 00:05:39,498
The road ends here, okay?

00:11:21,398 --> 00:11:23,397
- Do you play "Sims" at all?

308
00:11:23,398 --> 00:11:24,397
- I do, yes.
- Yeah, so do I.

309
00:11:24,398 --> 00:11:25,919
It's my go-to pleasure.

310
00:11:26,398 --> 00:11:27,397
- Oh, yes.

311
00:11:27,398 --> 00:11:29,397
It's a guilty
pleasure for me.

312
00:11:29,398 --> 00:11:31,397
I love "Sims."
- Yeah.

313
00:11:31,398 --> 00:11:33,397
- Cool beans.

314
00:11:33,398 --> 00:11:35,397
- I like that expression.

315
00:11:35,398 --> 00:11:37,397
<i>- After a fun night</i>
<i>of conversation,</i>

316
00:11:37,398 --> 00:11:38,398
<i>it was time</i>
<i>to wrap things up.</i>

317
00:11:39,398 --> 00:11:41,397
<i>But before leaving, I wanted</i>
<i>to make it clear to Jasmine</i>

318
00:11:41,398 --> 00:11:44,397
<i>just how serious about her</i>
<i>Corey was.</i>

319
00:11:44,398 --> 00:11:47,397
- I hope it's not
too forward to ask,

320
00:11:47,398 --> 00:11:49,397
but, uh...

321
00:11:49,398 --> 00:11:53,397
Can I ask your
permission to kiss you?

322
00:11:53,398 --> 00:11:54,397
- Oh, sure.

323
00:11:54,398 --> 00:11:55,398
<i>- But it wasn't</i>
<i>gonna happen now,</i>

324
00:11:56,398 --> 00:11:59,397
<i>because I told her I wanted</i>
<i>our first kiss to be special.</i>

325
00:11:59,398 --> 00:12:00,397
I was thinking
we can do it

326
00:12:00,398 --> 00:12:02,398
right when I step off
that wire.

327
00:12:03,398 --> 00:12:05,397
- That'd be cool.
- Yeah.

328
00:12:05,398 --> 00:12:06,397
[chuckling]
Okay.

329
00:12:06,398 --> 00:12:08,398
<i>With Jasmine</i>
<i>consenting to a kiss,</i>

330
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:11,397
<i>I was one step closer</i>
<i>to getting Corey</i>

331
00:12:11,398 --> 00:12:12,398
<i>a real relationship.</i>

332
00:12:13,398 --> 00:12:14,397
<i>But after she left,</i>
<i>I found myself</i>

333
00:12:14,398 --> 00:12:17,397
<i>strangely surprised</i>
<i>by my own confidence.</i>

334
00:12:17,398 --> 00:12:20,397
<i>There was something about being</i>
<i>in another person's skin</i>

335
00:12:20,398 --> 00:12:23,397
<i>that made all</i>
<i>my social anxiety vanish.</i>

336
00:12:23,398 --> 00:12:25,639
<i>And I didn't feel ready</i>
<i>to call it a night just yet.</i>

337
00:12:26,398 --> 00:12:27,397
- My friend Maureen
is from Boston.

338
00:12:27,398 --> 00:12:29,397
- Boston?

339
00:12:29,398 --> 00:12:30,397
[Boston accent
Oh, hi, I'm from Boston.

340
00:12:30,398 --> 00:12:32,397
I love Ben Affleck.

341
00:12:32,398 --> 00:12:33,397
[laughter]

342
00:12:33,398 --> 00:12:35,397
<i>I was able to charm</i>
<i>complete strangers.</i>

343
00:12:35,398 --> 00:12:37,397
<i>It was a side of me</i>
<i>I had never seen before.</i>

344
00:12:37,398 --> 00:12:39,397
- Thank you, bother.
- Yeah, of course, anytime.

345
00:12:39,398 --> 00:12:40,397
- What's your name?

346
00:12:40,398 --> 00:12:41,397
- Corey.

347
00:12:41,398 --> 00:12:42,398
Do you guys like dancing?

348
00:12:43,398 --> 00:12:44,397
<i>It was nice, for once,</i>
<i>to have a night away</i>

349
00:12:44,398 --> 00:12:46,397
<i>from all my insecurities.</i>

350
00:12:46,398 --> 00:12:48,397
<i>And as it came to an end,</i>

351
00:12:48,398 --> 00:12:50,397
<i>I actually felt a bit sad,</i>

352
00:12:50,398 --> 00:12:54,398
<i>knowing that I'd soon</i>
<i>have to go back to being me.</i>

353
00:12:55,398 --> 00:12:58,397
<i>With the day of the wire walk</i>
<i>fast approaching,</i>

354
00:12:58,398 --> 00:13:00,397
<i>I had Corey's grandparents</i>
<i>brought to Los Angeles</i>

355
00:13:00,398 --> 00:13:02,397
<i>to witness the big event.</i>

356
00:13:02,398 --> 00:13:04,397
<i>So far, they had</i>
<i>been kept completely</i>

357
00:13:04,398 --> 00:13:06,397
<i>in the dark about everything.</i>

358
00:13:06,398 --> 00:13:07,397
<i>But shortly after</i>
<i>their arrival,</i>

359
00:13:07,398 --> 00:13:09,397
<i>I began receiving</i>
<i>some troubling messages</i>

360
00:13:09,398 --> 00:13:11,397
<i>on Corey's phone.</i>

361
00:13:11,398 --> 00:13:13,397
<i>- We haven't heard from you</i>
<i>in a few days, honey.</i>

362
00:13:13,398 --> 00:13:14,397
<i>Is everything okay?</i>

363
00:13:14,398 --> 00:13:15,398
<i>We're getting concerned.</i>

364
00:13:16,398 --> 00:13:17,397
<i>- His grandparents</i>
<i>had found out</i>

365
00:13:17,398 --> 00:13:18,397
<i>about the wire walk</i>
<i>from one of the</i>

366
00:13:18,398 --> 00:13:20,397
<i>newspaper ads</i>
<i>we were running</i>

367
00:13:20,398 --> 00:13:22,397
<i>and became so concerned</i>
<i>that they insisted</i>

368
00:13:22,398 --> 00:13:24,397
<i>on seeing their grandson</i>
<i>in person.</i>

369
00:13:24,398 --> 00:13:26,397
<i>This was a big problem.</i>

370
00:13:26,398 --> 00:13:29,397
<i>I knew my Corey disguise</i>
<i>and impression were good,</i>

371
00:13:29,398 --> 00:13:30,397
<i>but to fool his own family</i>

372
00:13:30,398 --> 00:13:32,397
<i>would take some</i>
<i>additional effort.</i>

373
00:13:32,398 --> 00:13:35,397
<i>So I sent our sound guy</i>
<i>out to the Mojave Desert</i>

374
00:13:35,398 --> 00:13:37,839
<i>and had him record Corey</i>
<i>saying a specific</i>

375
00:13:38,398 --> 00:13:40,397
<i>series of phrases</i>
<i>that I had written.</i>

376
00:13:40,398 --> 00:13:42,397
- Yeah, sure.
Don't worry.

377
00:13:42,398 --> 00:13:44,397
Everything's
going to be okay.

378
00:13:44,398 --> 00:13:46,397
<i>- Corey had no idea</i>
<i>why we needed this,</i>

379
00:13:46,398 --> 00:13:48,397
<i>but I was able to use</i>
<i>these audio clips</i>

380
00:13:48,398 --> 00:13:51,397
<i>to create a digital soundboard</i>
<i>that would allow me</i>

381
00:13:51,398 --> 00:13:54,397
<i>to have any conversation</i>
<i>I wanted in his actual voice.</i>

382
00:13:54,398 --> 00:13:56,397
<i>- I agree.</i>

383
00:13:56,398 --> 00:13:57,398
<i>- I then arranged</i>
<i>to meet Corey's grandparents</i>

384
00:13:58,398 --> 00:13:59,397
<i>at their hotel.</i>

385
00:13:59,398 --> 00:14:01,397
<i>But since I didn't want them</i>
<i>to see me up close,</i>

386
00:14:01,398 --> 00:14:04,397
<i>I hired an actress</i>
<i>to pose as a hotel manager</i>

387
00:14:04,398 --> 00:14:07,397
<i>and inform them that no one</i>
<i>was allowed in or out.</i>

388
00:14:07,398 --> 00:14:09,397
- We just have a suspicious man
on the loose.

389
00:14:09,398 --> 00:14:10,397
We're checking it out
right now.

390
00:14:10,398 --> 00:14:12,397
So please just stay
in your room.

391
00:14:12,398 --> 00:14:14,397
<i>- Then I texted them</i>
<i>from across the street,</i>

392
00:14:14,398 --> 00:14:16,397
<i>telling them to go out</i>
<i>on their balcony.</i>

393
00:14:16,398 --> 00:14:19,397
<i>Now I just had to pray</i>
<i>that this would work.</i>

394
00:14:19,398 --> 00:14:20,397
<i>- Hi, Grandma.</i>

395
00:14:20,398 --> 00:14:21,397
<i>Hi, Grandpa.</i>

396
00:14:21,398 --> 00:14:22,397
- Corey!
- There he is!

397
00:14:22,398 --> 00:14:23,397
- Hi!
- Hey, Corey!

398
00:14:23,398 --> 00:14:25,397
<i>- It's so great</i>
<i>to see you.</i>

399
00:14:25,398 --> 00:14:27,397
- It's great to see you.
- It's good to be here.

400
00:14:27,398 --> 00:14:29,397
<i>- The hotel was</i>
<i>all blocked in.</i>

401
00:14:29,398 --> 00:14:30,397
<i>They won't let</i>
<i>me inside.</i>

402
00:14:30,398 --> 00:14:32,398
<i>We'll have to</i>
<i>talk like this.</i>

403
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:35,397
- You okay?

404
00:14:35,398 --> 00:14:36,397
<i>- Yes.</i>

405
00:14:36,398 --> 00:14:38,397
<i>Just don't worry</i>
<i>about me.</i>

406
00:14:38,398 --> 00:14:39,397
<i>I've been</i>
<i>training hard,</i>

407
00:14:39,398 --> 00:14:41,397
<i>and I'll be</i>
<i>totally safe.</i>

408
00:14:41,398 --> 00:14:43,397
- You better be!

409
00:14:43,398 --> 00:14:44,398
<i>- Yes.</i>

410
00:14:45,398 --> 00:14:46,397
<i>I need to go now.</i>

411
00:14:46,398 --> 00:14:47,397
- Okay.

412
00:14:47,398 --> 00:14:48,397
<i>- But just know I'm safe</i>

413
00:14:48,398 --> 00:14:49,397
<i>and feeling great.</i>

414
00:14:49,398 --> 00:14:51,397
<i>I'll see you both</i>
<i>at the big event.</i>

415
00:14:51,398 --> 00:14:53,397
- We love you!

416
00:14:53,398 --> 00:14:54,397
- Love you, Corey.

417
00:14:54,398 --> 00:14:56,319
<i>- Yes.</i>

418
00:14:56,398 --> 00:14:57,359
- Bye!

419
00:14:57,398 --> 00:14:58,397
<i>- It worked like a charm.</i>

420
00:14:58,398 --> 00:15:01,397
<i>And Corey's grandparents</i>
<i>didn't suspect a thing.</i>

421
00:15:01,398 --> 00:15:02,397
- Is he in that van
over there?

422
00:15:02,398 --> 00:15:03,397
<i>I can't tell.</i>

423
00:15:03,398 --> 00:15:04,397
<i>- I think so.</i>

424
00:15:04,398 --> 00:15:06,397
<i>- And once we were</i>
<i>out of sight,</i>

425
00:15:06,398 --> 00:15:08,397
<i>I had the fake manager</i>
<i>defuse the situation.</i>

426
00:15:08,398 --> 00:15:10,397
- The gunman has
been killed.

427
00:15:10,398 --> 00:15:12,397
And you are free now

428
00:15:12,398 --> 00:15:14,397
to go around the hotel
as freely as you'd like--

429
00:15:14,398 --> 00:15:17,397
- He--someone was killed
in the hotel?

430
00:15:17,398 --> 00:15:19,398
<i>- With Corey's grandparents</i>
<i>put at ease,</i>

431
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:21,397
<i>I could now refocus</i>
<i>on getting in</i>

432
00:15:21,398 --> 00:15:23,397
<i>some last-minute practice,</i>

433
00:15:23,398 --> 00:15:24,397
<i>working privately with</i>

434
00:15:24,398 --> 00:15:26,398
<i>aerial arts expert</i>
<i>Richie Gaona.</i>

435
00:15:27,398 --> 00:15:29,397
<i>But what I didn't expect</i>
<i>was the psychological shock</i>

436
00:15:29,398 --> 00:15:31,397
<i>to my system</i>
<i>when we increased the height</i>

437
00:15:31,398 --> 00:15:33,397
<i>of my training wire.</i>

438
00:15:33,398 --> 00:15:36,397
<i>My brain just wouldn't allow me</i>
<i>to take a single step.</i>

439
00:15:36,398 --> 00:15:38,397
<i>And I became seriously</i>
<i>concerned that</i>

440
00:15:38,398 --> 00:15:39,399
<i>once I was up</i>
<i>on that rooftop,</i>

441
00:15:40,398 --> 00:15:42,397
<i>my body might</i>
<i>completely shut down.</i>

442
00:15:42,398 --> 00:15:44,397
<i>But with my team</i>
<i>already under way</i>

443
00:15:44,398 --> 00:15:46,397
<i>constructing the rigging</i>
<i>for the wire walk,</i>

444
00:15:46,398 --> 00:15:47,398
<i>there was no turning back now.</i>

445
00:15:49,447 --> 00:15:51,446
<i>- The day had finally arrived</i>

446
00:15:51,447 --> 00:15:53,446
<i>for Corey to be transformed</i>
<i>into a hero</i>

447
00:15:53,447 --> 00:15:55,446
<i>in front of the eyes</i>
<i>of the nation.</i>

448
00:15:55,447 --> 00:15:57,446
<i>So early that morning,</i>
<i>I sent my crew</i>

449
00:15:57,447 --> 00:15:59,446
<i>to retrieve him</i>
<i>from the desert...</i>

450
00:15:59,447 --> 00:16:00,446
- Come with us.

451
00:16:00,447 --> 00:16:03,446
<i>- And covertly transport him</i>
<i>into the city.</i>

452
00:16:03,447 --> 00:16:05,446
<i>Meanwhile, on the rooftop,</i>

453
00:16:05,447 --> 00:16:08,447
<i>a team of experts rigged</i>
<i>a 3/4 inch steel wire</i>

454
00:16:09,288 --> 00:16:11,446
<i>that would be my only support</i>
<i>as I attempted to walk</i>

455
00:16:11,447 --> 00:16:14,446
<i>across the terrifying</i>
<i>80-foot drop.</i>

456
00:16:14,447 --> 00:16:17,446
<i>And with the final preparations</i>
<i>under way,</i>

457
00:16:17,447 --> 00:16:20,446
<i>news outlets were already</i>

you guys too.

- You did something
that I never, ever

626
00:23:44,447 --> 00:23:46,447
thought would be
possible from you.

627
00:23:46,928 --> 00:23:48,446

anything like

life-risking for a good cause,
I'm all for that.

that's awesome.

So many people struggle
with that these days.

he was very brave.

It was breast cancer, right?

Yeah, that's good.
