A world champion stunt driver, Ken Carter, has agreed to go under deep hypnosis live on air to promote his big jump this fall.
You ready to go under, Ken?
Sure is, my brother.
5, 4, 3, 2...
He's deep under.
Completely under my control.
Ladies and gentlemen, this year, Ken Carter, the mad Canadian, is set to jump the sailored seaway in a rocket car.
I'd be worried too, Ken.
So, what are we trying to unlock here today, Goldie?
To cure his fear, we're getting to the root of it.
When were you first scared?
Do you remember, Ken?
Where were you born, Ken?
Take us back in 3, 2, 1...
I was born, Ken, as a Gordland Polish chick.
I was born in 1938, St. Henry, Montreal.
Never had much.
Skinny, bow-legged, cross-eyed kid.
I think I was always second-guessed as a boy.
And nobody ever thought I'd amount to anything.
My father took off, alone, with my brother and sisters.
I was the eldest.
My mother worked all the time, had no dad.
Had to be theirs.
Go there.
Go to the pain where you're scared.
I was alone at home, alone at school.
Always had a problem with authority, eh?
Don't like cops, don't like doctors, don't like teachers.
Books are for nerds and badges are for pussies.
I was held back.
Reading never made sense to me.
No teacher's saying, hey, you better read that book, you dunce.
Teachers were mean, eh?
Beat the piss out of you.
Doing, doing, he's learning.
Learning, he's doing.
I was no good at anything.
No good to anybody.
Being an MDG, you know, just a kid picking up hours at the garage.
They started showing me the ropes.
And then I was literally riding on the top of cars, holding ropes.
Take us back there in five.
Scared of being alone.
Until I wasn't.
I found a home.
I got to graduate, you know, from the Congress of Canadian Daredevils to the International Helldrivers, you know.
Boy, that was my, that was my ticket to see the world.
I found a home where I was happy.
A home where I could talk straight, read right.
Everybody liked me.
I found a place where everybody remembered my name.
Now the people got to go away!
Where's the microphone?
Where's my microphone?
Oh, there you go again.
The same one I broke last week.
Kevin, do you have a lot of injuries over there?
Oh, I've had some injuries, yeah.
I mean, I've broken my back, I've broken both of my arms.
Tailbone's chock.
Broken ankles, broken kneecaps.
Chest smashed.
One time in Cocona, Wisconsin, up by Green Bay.
Steering wheel smashed me right in the chest.
Boy, that was a close one, that one.
Sick of waking up.
Waking up in the cold, green hospital rooms, you know.
You don't know where you are.
And you don't know if you're alive or dead.
You don't know if you're going to heaven or hell.
Did you take anything for the pain?
Look at it.
Gloria, are you comfortable with the risks, the big jump in tails?
Would I prefer his passionless woodwork?
Yeah, sure.
I'd sleep better at night, for sure.
But I'd live worse in the night.
I'd sleep better at night because you'd be sleeping next to a virgin woodwork.
Will this be your last jump tonight?
This will be my final jump.
My title card could get punched any time, you know.
I won't lie, you know, we've been through it.
I put her through it and I put myself through it, you know.
So all this pain, you know, it's...
People got to remember my name.
Able Caname, love.
I just got a snake river.
I need my...
How is that relationship with you?
Well, we have a mutual respect for one another.
But yeah, no, he's full of shit and a coward.
And why not, Ken?
I'm chasing something, you know, and I think it's...
I think it's respect, you know, it's...
Every time I hit that jump, I think, this is...
This will shut him up.
When you come off that jump, when you stick that landing...
Oh, they respect you now, boy.
You're sailing on a live bird today.
The canine flight of Able Caname.
Are you serious?
A rocket?
Where's his motorcycle?
He's an astronaut now?
He has space stuff?
I want to look at it.
What is this hippie bullshit?
He didn't even make it across.
Well, this is just embarrassing.
He's just pissing all over everything we do.
I've said it a hundred times.
Able Caname is a nerd.
Hello?
Hello there, Dick.
This is Ken Carter calling you.
I got your number off of Joey Washburn.
How's old Joey?
Oh, Joey, he's great.
He's evergreen.
You know, I'm that kind of mad Canadian.
Jumped the 20 buses at the Houston Astrodome.
Does that sound familiar?
Is that right?
No.
What can I do for you?
I am in the market for a rocket car.
You are not driving this rocket car.
So that's the thing.
I'm leaning towards jumping.
So you jump...
You want to jump it?
Well, over something that you wouldn't think is possible.
Like a big river or something.
All right.
Well, thank you very much for calling.
I just don't think...
Hang on.
Listen, listen.
I know this sounds crazy.
I'm calling you out of the blue.
I know it does.
But I think we could really wow some people here.
Make some noise.
Yeah, noise isn't really my thing.
With all due respect, why did you build the Blue Flight?
To break a land speed record.
Because you hate noise?
Now, let me just stop you right there because there's nothing safe about a rocket car.
It's a real easy way to get yourself and a lot of other people killed.
I bet they told you you're a crazy dick, didn't they?
Well, you did it anyway, right?
You built the fastest car in the world.
Why'd you do it?
Because you did kill her.
And you can.
All right, we've got to calculate the elevation.
Launch point's going to have to be maybe 100 feet.
A hundred foot rim?
Well, depending on the elevation of your landing.
You don't want flat.
You want your landing much lower than your launch.
You said a mile, right?
You want to jump a mile?
God, you'd have to be going 260, maybe 280 miles an hour.
280.
The amount of thrust depends on the amount of fuel.
The amount of fuel depends on the size of the tank.
The bigger the tank, the more pressure you need.
The more pressure, the more likely this whole fucking thing is going to blow up.
Dick, just come up here.
And all I ask is that you keep an open mind, sir.
And bring the child inside of you.
Listen to me carefully, kid.
Even if we get you up in the air, we still got to get you down safely.
The parachutes fail, burn, tangle, according to my calculations.
Taking it all in, looking at all the numbers, I'm realizing that I want zero part of this.
Mr. Dick Keller, face to face, face to name.
Ken Carter.
Pleasure putting those two together.
Thank you for flying up here.
How was the flight?
Did any introduce yourself?
I'm not interested.
That's all I said.
That's all I said.
You're never going to fit in a rocket car.
I'm going to need a big car with a big rocket for a big job with a big head.
I've agreed to nothing, Ken.
Wait until you see our jump site.
Spectacular views.
It's level.
Great drainage.
It's level?
Are you hungry?
I know I'm always starving after a flight.
Don't know what that is.
I could eat the arse out of an elephant at the airport.
There's our chauffeur.
You know, you cool ain't got no license.
You don't drive?
Oh, no, I certainly do, sir.
Just don't need the crown's permission to do so.
There.
Yep.
All right.
Stop talking, Carter.
You sound like a lunatic.
How many behind you there, Guy Lombardo?
We're not fancy.
We're not fancy.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good mile, at least.
But it's way too flat, Ken.
Ken, yeah, it's flat.
So you said a mile as the crow flies.
Well, this is insane, Ken.
You can't do it.
Yeah, I can do it.
I can drive a car.
I can put my foot in that pedal, and I can steer a car off a ramp.
I've been doing it my whole life.
The only question is, is this jump possible?
Here's a question.
Why are you jumping a river if you can't even swim?
You've never swam?
Not a lick.
I thought it would disgust me.
Look, this jump is dangerous, it is extremely stupid, and it is entirely pointless.
But, yes, technically the physics do work.
You can jump a mile in a rocket car, provided everything goes exactly right.
So you'll do it?
Can I be honest?
Sure.
I don't think you're really going to do it.
Oh, no?
But I have this haunting fear that you might kill yourself trying, so I'll help.
You have no idea what that means to me, sir.
But on the day, if I don't think you can make it for any reason, I'm calling it.
I'm not going to let you jump.
I get full veto, understand?
American presidential veto.
Yeah, that's right.
Whatever you need, sir.
Welcome to our...
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Welcome aboard.
Welcome to Team Carter, sir.
Welcome to Team Carter officially, sir.
So is it rocket science that you love, or should I love rockets?
This jump's never going to happen.
Do you mind if I ask you one small favor, sir?
Why stop now?
Can I borrow a car?
Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh.
Ready!
Have any other daredevils attempted a stunt even close to this?
I'm no daredevil, sir.
That implies there's no spilling of all.
That is left up to chance.
Go!
All right, it's an A-ball.
We're going to have a big house down in Santa Monica.
I won't be playing a fool out there.
Nor will I see Angelina as well.
Never see me come.
No, I'd be just as happy with you.
Like, two-bedroom, patch of grass, couple runs, cooking room.
Runs?
Why do I have to get out of any runs?
Yeah, I know.
No, we're going to have monsters.
They're from my life.
No, I want runs, too.
They're going to be huge.
Two huge kids.
And we can do better than a bloody two-and-a-half and a patch of grass.
I'd just be happy with you anywhere, Jim.
I know, I know.
I'm just saying, I feel it, eh?
I really think we have the chance to do something here.
I just want to make sure we have enough money.
Money enough for a ring?
Absolutely.
A ring for me, or a ring for you.
You know, unless you can get caught up in their shit more, you don't let Death Bay hit up your six-foot with pride.
If you get cold feet out there, you listen to them.
You listen to your feet, Kim.
Okay.
Promise?
Yeah.
Your biggest numbers outside of Monday nights have always been stunts, jumps specifically.
Yeah, and you've never had a jump like this.
A country mile and a Lincoln.
Never been done before.
To, once again, quote, the immortal Joey Washburn, you forgot a Murphy bed.
Your mother's proud.
You know, and we have to remember that the people are going to tune in to see whether he lands it or whether he crashes, right?
So that's a win-win for the audience.
Plus, with Ken here, I think people are going to be flat-out charmed.
I mean, come on, look at this guy, right?
The jump looks impossible, physically impossible.
Yeah, exactly, my friend.
Yes, and just like you, I believe most of the people are going to be 100% sure this guy's going to crash, and they are going to tune in to be witnesses to that.
From a legal standpoint, we can't get behind anything that we know would fail.
We'd be liable for a person's life.
ABC can't lose.
Just look at your intro.
The ski jumper, the agony of defeat.
Let's ask Evel to oversee.
Get his step on.
That's a brilliant idea.
I have to say.
Evel, we thought of that.
He's a bright guy.
We don't need him.
He's not a bright guy.
No, I think his name would be great on this.
He's kind of an idiot.
Do you think he would do it?
I know you gentlemen have a relationship with him.
But I worry that we'd be blurring our brands, eh?
Because he's got his turf with the motorcycles, dressing like a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
I can drive four-on-the-floor automobiles.
I can jump cars for a living.
I'm a little good doing it.
Evel's a must.
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to go with Evel.
Thank you, though.
I mean, right off the top, I just know that this is a brilliant idea.
Look.
Ken Carter and Evel Knievel.
Two great tastes that taste great together.
Yeah, I guess.
You don't really have a choice.
No choice is the best choice.
Why don't you let there be gender in this?
I know.
These characters are hilarious.
But I'm getting there.
I'm turning this around.
I want to see how much he likes his own medicine.
Do I get here?
Hey, this is the guy.
This is him.
Oh, the characters that we are following.
Oh, it's the characters.
We are...
Evel is a very funny guy.
Is he not a gender here for Joseph Stalin?
Joseph?
Joseph Stalin.
Look, I'm a director.
Let me ask you a question.
How come you eat eggs?
You're a prismatic.
Come on.
Hello?
Yeah.
Yeah, he's here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is he.
Yeah.
This is Ken Carter.
Yeah.
Oh.
Okay.
Thank you so much for calling.
Do you guys want the good news or the bad news?
Okay, so the bad news is you guys go to ABC.
That was them calling to say the Wine Rose Forest is here!
Okay.
Anytime.
Boring soil.
On the 26th, this will be my end point when I'm landing somewhere.
We're going to plant 200 square feet of roses right here for me.
We're going to have a target.
Roses would be a rather soft target to aim for.
Have you always had a thing for roses?
A rose is your heart, and it's your love, and it's your woman.
So it's a testament to all the great lovers, you know, and to Gloria.
I like to think that I'm going to crash land inside of Gloria.
Hmm.
Okay.
That's Mickey.
Okay.
This ramp will be amazing.
90 feet tall, 1,500 feet of fresh blacktop, a real view.
I stand here in America, looking across the river upon Canada, and I see a truly wide world of sports.
Now, I'd be more worried about the fuel tanks, right?
All that acid.
Doesn't turn you to you.
You're going to reinforce the frame.
Styrofoam, so the car floats better.
Yeah, sure.
Of course, that makes it more flammable.
And an oxygen tank.
Well, combustible.
Worse, rip your face right off.
I don't want to drown.
I'd rather drown than burn.
Yeah, I get that, man.
They say drowning can be peaceful.
Who says drowning can be peaceful?
Well, especially if you're on fire, then the water's a relief.
Yeah.
I'd be more worried about the chutes still opening.
Oh, yeah, or burning up.
Yeah, I got one.
If the car's nose dips too much and the chutes fail, the rocket could just be pushing him right into the water, like a 747.
Oh, yeah.
It'll just disintegrate him.
Oh, boom.
Jesus Christ, guys.
You got good dental records.
Come on, guys.
I've got to do this.
You don't do it, I will, Bones.
I'm Xander Statham.
This ain't Broadway, Lock Fortune.
I found you.
You were jumping trailer park dirt in twoppy stalls.
And terribly, I might add.
You have zero sense of showmanship.
I got some sense of showmanship.
Idiot!
How you not match?
How you not match measurements?
How you not follow grades?
All you follow is grades to the mouth.
Deal by cheap cement.
Cheapest spot.
No grades.
Deal?
I can't guarantee nothing about this fucking ramp.
Okay?
It's not safe.
You will die.
But you'll finish it, right?
You fucking sock puppet.
You fucking sock puppet!
You're the ramp.
You're the ramp.
You're tough.
Have you found out when Evil Knievel is coming up here?
No, not yet.
I think it's soon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The world's greatest stuntman.
Yeah.
And how do you feel about everything?
I get frustrated.
He gets frustrated.
You get frustrated too, Fortier.
You know, I think he's just...
I do too.
Yeah?
Sometimes I get frustrated.
All right.
Meet Kent.
Hard dummy.
Hard worker.
Not exactly the life of the party.
Dick.
The car's a beaut.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
She's a beast.
It's exciting, though.
It's just one step closer.
Yeah.
Truly, I am trying to get this done for you, but I have never put fuel tanks this close to a rocket in a vehicle this small.
Wind's on our backs now, boys.
Let's just hope the wind doesn't explode.
Bring it up to pressure.
Yeah.
Give us the juice.
Here we go.
We're at pressure.
Chill.
All right.
Light it up.
I just want to say, Ken, that, you know, we believe in you.
We've been following you for a couple years now.
All of us at the NFB, we believe in this jump.
Well, thank you, sir.
That means a lot.
I appreciate that.
And I want you to know I appreciate that.
Well, and I think I should make it clear that there's no pressure from us at all to do the jump, do it or don't do it.
It's all part of the process that we want to document.
Don't you ever talk to me like that.
Ever.
Like what?
I am going to make that jump.
As God is my witness.
I don't know.
I wasn't implying a hot damn thing.
They weren't even filming, weren't you?
Well, it was just something I thought better said privately.
I was legitimately touched and pissed off by what you said.
Honestly, it just kind of happened.
It's exciting.
All right.
Well, guys, roll sound.
Yeah, roll sound.
Good.
Sure.
You got it.
Oh, yeah.
Ken, I want you to know that we believe in you and we believe in this jump.
Well, thank you.
That means a lot.
I want you to know that.
Thank you very much.
We don't want to give you any pressure.
There's no pressure to jump or not.
We're simply observing.
Is there any kind of appreciation or respect between you and him?
Oh, you know, I think there's a sort of respect, I think, you know?
It's like when a panther and a lion see each other, they'll smell the same sexual energy.
When was the last time you saw him?
I believe I saw Evel Knievel.
Rochester, New York.
Autumn of 17.
Guys, can I just hold that bucket?
We brought the sunshine, Evel.
Where's the ramp at?
There's been some delays.
At the end of the hour.
Good to see you again, Evel.
I'm not sure if you ever met my Gloria.
Hopefully I've had the pleasure.
It's good to finally meet you.
I bet.
Where's the ramp?
Over there, sir.
Jesus Christ.
What the hell's that?
Where's your landing spot?
Ogden Island.
See that patch of red over there?
We planted roses for me to aim at.
Roses?
Yep.
How tall is this ramp, boy?
It's, well, it's 85.5 feet.
I don't see no ramps, huh?
It's a pile of mud.
Oh, it's a start, but we'll get there.
I'm sure.
Where's the car at?
Keller's promising it in a few days.
Keller?
I dick a blue flame, Keller.
I'm sure you know.
Nope.
Had a nice prevailing wind today.
Is that really Evel?
I think so, Gloria.
I don't know.
I'm not convinced.
Maybe sea shards.
He just looks so humble.
These delays are unacceptable.
Yeah.
Kind of like a rocket ship.
Can we get?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Spent your whole career riding motorcycles, and you randomly decided to become an astronaut.
State wouldn't permit a bike.
But you didn't make it anyway.
But we will land on this jump, sir.
The chute's deployed early.
Yeah, now that.
What are you getting at, Carter?
What I'm getting at is we're up against it, sir.
This is war on the shore.
Rain for days.
We're in the muck.
The mud, the blood, the beer.
The last thing we need is some Yankee Doodle Dandy coming up here thinking he's going to tell us how to do our jobs.
Look around you.
What do you see?
You see God's country, sir.
And you see God's chosen people.
The Canadians.
And every single one of these people here believes in this job.
They've all given me their word.
They're going to work twice as hard to get it done.
And I will do more than cry if they don't.
Let me tell you.
Looks like a dangerous jump to me, boy.
No elevation.
No room for error.
Go down on that water.
You better have somebody get you out.
Get you out in a hurry.
Oh yeah, trust me.
I am worried about the water.
Don't get yourself killed, Carter.
It's bad for business.
I'm sure you want some soup with that.
Whatever you've got, put it.
Put it back on.
Let's make breakfast.
Let's make breakfast.
What the fuck does that mean?
That's something we said.
I should warn you.
Lloyd Irwin's got safety protocols, you asshole.
That's what you call being a pussy, they say.
Is that wrong?
Come on.
Rumor is, you've got to bite the chains.
You're the winning side.
You can shit, Carter.
Who's saying that?
Yes, we're saying that.
This is the winner.
This is the winner.
I worked on my own project.
The Snake River Canyon stunt for three years.
And they're trying to finish this up in two weeks.
The weather's been bad.
The runway's muddy.
The ramp is not built.
I don't think I'd attempt a stunt like this.
It's far more dangerous than the Snake River Canyon stunt.
This may be the daredevil stunt to end all daredevil stunts.
Well, that's all good, because I ain't no daredevil.
I'm a stunt driver.
He's just jealous.
No, no, no.
He's just playing his part.
I thought he'd be taller.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, he's a little piece of shit, isn't he?
At 900 feet, you will reach what we call the point of no return.
What's the latest on the big jump?
Well, firstly, the rocket car is not ready and that cannot be rushed.
Secondly, the ramp is nowhere near complete.
And lastly, the weather has not and we fear will not cooperate.
Even if all three of those things were in our favor, ABC, along with Evil Knievel, have decided that the jump is just too risky to cover live due to the high
chance of fatality.
So it's over.
No, it's over, everybody.
Just because...
Ken Carter.
Pardon me.
Just because some clothed up yank got a little scared of a big old ramp.
I was dialed into that jump three times wider than Snake River, I might add.
If you think I ain't in a rush for danger, I got news for you.
I've been training for months till I'm sick to my stomach and I'm sick now.
I'm 38 years old and even some of my jumps the past few years haven't been up to par.
And I know I'm getting too old for this business, but that won't stop me from trying.
Well, it will stop me today, but you know what I mean.
There's a lot of people out there asking why.
Why does anyone do anything?
The hell am I going to do?
I'm gas at a gasoline station, I jump cars.
And we hear the whispers, eh?
We're not chicken.
I got news for anyone who thinks otherwise.
We are going to fly.
We want the mile.
It's a pretty nice place you got here.
This is our other home now.
We're always here up here.
And how have you been handling the delay?
You see, there's actually two Kens.
Well, there's Ken Carter, the man you see before you.
Stuntman, entertainer, the mad Canadian.
Then there's Kenneth Gordon-Polischek, who is a rational businessman.
You know, he's behind the scenes.
He's running numbers, making deals, he's on the phones.
And Ken Carter and Kenneth Gordon-Polischek are starting to understand what their positions are with one another.
Sometimes Kenneth Gordon will say, Hello Carter, you're scared, you know.
Is this really what you want to be doing?
Is it?
I guess.
Yes and no, is what we're saying.
Which one of the Kens gets to be with Gloria?
Oh, you know, she's lucky.
Both.
Yeah, that's right.
They double-team her.
Carter, you have to hit that ramp.
What was it, 200, 280 miles per hour, most of it.
Ken Carter and Kenneth Gordon-Polischek.
We're the mad Canadian.
And listen, Carter, there's got to be one cowboy, there's only one cowboy, there's only one guy with the juice.
In the morning, Larry Ellis, Kingsley, Extra Mile.
You have to wait around for your stunt driver to listen.
You'll need ABC back in.
This ramp's not going anywhere.
We'll come back next year stronger and better prepared.
We cut our losses.
That gives me time to raise more funds.
Aiden needs to be made whole, trust me.
Yeah, yeah, I'm keeping all the wolves at bay.
Don't you worry about that, okay?
Ken, I'm gonna have to start looking for a job soon.
We're broke.
We're not broke, broke.
At a certain point, Belle, you've got to just dig in and go for it.
We need to be smart about this.
Because, you know, every one of these delays, all they do is just give Carter more time to stew and second-guess themselves.
Honey, you don't even have to make it.
You just have to try.
He will fail, right?
He never made it across Snape River.
You just have to hit the gas, get off the ramp, pull the chutes, and survive a jump.
Gloria, that's not a jump, okay?
We're only doing this if we think Carter can make it.
I'm almost 40 years old, okay?
People are going to remember me.
They'll know my name.
One year, and the jump is on.
I promise.
It's not Herbie you're looking at.
A Mark IV Lincoln.
Something special under the hood.
Got wings added for in-air stabilization.
Reinforced with foam for buoyancy in case of a water landing.
And then, coming out the bump, 11,000 pounds of thrust from a catalytic rocket,
courtesy of our resident mad scientist, Dick Keller.
Say hello to all the folks at home.
Hi.
Would you drive the car, Dick?
Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
Off the ramp?
Oh, no.
This is as safe as you could possibly jump a rocket car a mile across a body of water.
This is as safe as you can do it.
Thank you so much.
Make sure that's there for later.
We might need that statement.
Here we are, my protégé.
I am.
Coming up the ranks.
Very talented stunt driver in his own right.
You'll be hearing a lot about him soon.
Yeah.
That rhymes with his name, Danny LaFortue.
I am proud to be here.
All right, thanks, Danny.
And there she is.
This is my rocket, Gloria.
Gloria, how do you feel about Ken doing the jump in this particular vehicle, now that you've seen the car?
I mean, the car is gorgeous.
I trust him.
I trust it.
You're gorgeous.
Almost as pretty as the car.
Almost.
Not too big, though.
We're three weeks from jump day, and I'll be honest,
everything about this whole plan is so callous and stupid, and yet here I am, and I'm excited for it.
And Ken's got me believing in it, and I'm believing in him.
I think we're going to pull this damn thing off.
That or we'll kill him.
Let's get that helmet on.
Get your race suit on.
I don't think we have that with me.
I think I'm going to have to stay back at home.
All right, I got my race suit.
I'm willing, ready, able, sir.
Yeah, put on Danny's suit.
I can't wear those clothes.
They're for a toy.
What's going on down there?
What are you working with?
What kind of weights do you have there?
It's not 28.
28.
We're not fancy.
Get in here, Bob.
I don't want to hurt your elbow.
I don't want to hurt your elbow.
You can't hurt that elbow.
You can't hurt that elbow.
It's hurting me.
All right, get out of there.
All right.
I don't like getting in here.
You got to get in through the sunroof there.
You can just sort of shimmy up right here.
Yeah, just a little bit.
Like a sailboat.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know what?
There is a ladder.
There's a ladder.
Yeah.
You know what?
Lose the suit.
But isn't it flame retardant?
Yeah, if she blows, you're dead anyway.
Sooner or not soon.
All aboard, sailor.
Yep.
Get your hat.
Thank you.
All right.
Now, quick review.
You've got nitrogen tanks on either side.
You have hydrogen peroxides right in front of you.
And they are 100% safe until full pressure, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Three pedals, just like we discussed.
The one on the right, that's your go button.
As soon as the light turns green, hit that.
Main rocket engages.
Middle pedal.
Now, on the day, that's going to be your extra booster when you're in the air.
But today, it's actually your brake parachutes.
So hit that when you want to slow down and stop.
One on the left.
Don't touch it.
That is your main parachute.
So that is for jump day only.
Now, we're going to ease you into it.
There's just enough fuel to get you up to about 200.
200.
Yeah, yeah.
OK.
That should be good.
We feel good about that.
Yeah.
It's going to start bucking at about 150.
That's OK.
Just keep it pointed straight down the pipe.
You don't drive these cars.
You aim them.
Good luck.
And don't be afraid to have fun.
Close it up.
We're fun, guy.
Just for fun, eh?
Pressure up.
God help us.
OK.
Ooh, that's it.
Oh, you're here.
Be ready, Bob.
There's enough mustard in there to get him up to 250.
I don't think that's such a good idea, Doug.
Well, he's going to be going a lot faster on the day.
Might as well throw him right in the deep end.
I have an analogy.
When I'm just testing the car, Bob, we're testing the man.
He's going to shoot his pants on an ode today on Blacktop.
We're at pressure.
10, 9.
Good job, guys.
Yes.
Thank you.
It was amazing.
Yeah, it was.
Oh, the car almost started flying.
She actually lifted off the fucking ground.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, with the ailerons, they'll pick you up a little bit on a flat surface.
But don't worry.
The curve of the ramp will keep you pinned down on the day.
This is getting to be the end of the ramp before you start flying, Bob.
Some shit.
If I slip, I hit two pedals.
Are you OK?
Any idea how fast you're going?
She is right.
That's a magnificent ride.
That is a Bengal tiger.
We are still tailing her.
So yeah, how fast, boss?
Well, I wasn't as straight with it.
Oh, no, I know.
I know.
So tell me, how much did you like it?
We set the speed at 250.
That is a successful test.
It was like a dream.
Oh, congratulations.
You just set a new Canadian land speed record.
Quite the power in that car, Ken.
What was...
Did you hear that?
That's a new record for the books.
How did it feel, Ken, tearing up the road there?
Bob, that's enough.
Cut it out.
Come on, that's enough.
OK, I'm sorry about that.
But hey, you passed a big test today.
Yeah, the test was a success.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Mind's reaching, you know.
It's been a long time thinking about water.
How about the wind?
Maybe listen to the wind.
What's it telling you?
Stay the course.
You want me to veto this thing?
You think you need to?
No.
But I could find a reason between you and me.
That would be my veto, which wouldn't be fair.
We would never take that from you.
I know you want to make this jump.
Everyone here wants you to make the jump.
But they're not jumping.
Everything I do on this whole project is to make sure you stay alive.
No matter what happens off the end of that ramp, that's all I care about.
This whole thing is not a success unless both of you are alive.
You think this one's going to kill us?
A lot less so after today, to your credit.
But at the end of the day, I know it's not macho, but I'd rather be alive than macho and dead.
There's no pride in being dead.
Are you okay?
Have you ever gone 250 miles per hour before?
No, I mean, I haven't noticed it.
We're gonna have to go 280 miles per hour.
Dick's trying to scare us.
By his smart man?
Is it working?
No.
No, it isn't.
Why don't I drive us home?
I don't have a license.
Jump's a mess, you know?
You say the car will be ready, but they've said that before, you know?
So I think I'll throw in the towel on this one.
He will just not do the jump.
Do you ever hear about that Everglade jump?
No, I don't believe I did, sir.
It was right when they were building the raised highways, connecting the Keys, civilizing the swamps.
They'd almost connected two of the islands, but I got the idea.
Jump at the expense.
How'd it go?
I didn't do it.
Week out, they're building the ramps.
Got cold feet.
I had enrolled my wife in a death letter in the event that's a message from the grave.
Something was telling me no evil.
No.
That takes courage.
You know, if you're not feeling it, you're not feeling this.
You've got to listen to your gut.
There's no shame in that.
Oh, there are buckets of shame.
Oh, yeah?
That was a stupid move.
Yeah, I know.
No, I was chicken shit.
Everybody knew it.
I regret it every day.
Really?
I was put here to do things others can't.
Second, I can't.
Just like the others.
It's not who I am.
It's not who you are.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, you know, thank you for coming up to see us, Bob.
There aren't many of us around.
I still get a little nervous before a big jump, just like you.
And don't worry, I'm not going to be there.
You don't need to add to pressure my presence.
I understand that all too well.
Yeah.
You know, the jump's a monster, you know.
You said so yourself.
We're quite worried, you know.
We have no idea what'll happen to Carter.
Carter could suffer the agony of burning and then sink into the water, strapped into a two-ton rocket car, still conscious and drown.
It's a natural reaction.
That is just doubt talking.
Oh, doubt screaming, you know.
We don't think the jump will work, you know.
Well, you might break a few bones and spend a few weeks in the hospital.
But you aren't going to die, Kim.
I'm telling you, brother, there is a very high chance of dying a violent death.
You know what's at stake?
You set yourself up for life.
You captured the imagination of the world.
People live through us.
So you gotta live large.
Green means gold.
Tell you how to do it.
Now, are you scared of Snake River?
Of course, I wouldn't be.
Did you deploy your ships early?
Nope.
You're gonna shine.
You're gonna shine like the North Star.
Nice of you.
One.
It's now.
You're in the present.
Yes, ma'am.
How's a rational adult answer to this?
If you're scared, why do you still want to jump?
Because I'm brave.
What makes you brave?
You have to be brave or you have nothing.
It's the only thing you'll ever have.
Why a mile in a rocket car?
Because when I jump the furthest, I'm not alone.
Everybody likes me.
Everybody watches me.
They look up to me.
Look up at me.
When I fly, everybody is my friend.
What if it kills you?
Everybody will remember my name.
Fear no pain.
Feel no pain.
Any pain, Ken?
No pain.
I'm proud to
use your word for the asphalt, which means we can't get up to speed.
Bill could be repaid, but that's time.
And thousands of dollars, however, could save my life.
15 seconds.
30, Tops.
This is what you gotta do, Ken.
What the hell are you talking about?
Ken, I've paid in full here.
I've put up with five years of talking, talking, talking, talking to get to 30 seconds of action.
You have to deliver on all the goddamn bullshit you've walked on about.
I looked you in the eyes, and I promised you that jump, and I'm going to give it to you.
You don't have to jump, Ken.
You, you really don't.
But you have to make a decision.
Because I'm not wasting another five.
I can't.
John Day.
How about John Day?
You ready, Bones?
Oh, I was born ready, Jimmy.
Bill, where are we going to do that press conference?
By the cow paddies?
No, no, no press.
We're going to risk my life, and nobody's going to be there to see it.
If we allow even one news organization to get footage of this jump today, then, well, we have no story.
Okay?
And then we have no market.
And then we have no fucking money, Ken.
Your bravery is going to be permanently cemented in the fabric of our culture,
thanks to the expensive film and this expensive camera being operated by these questionably talented, expensive hippies.
A Japanese television pre-sale.
That's who we're jumping for today.
Japan.
Konnichiwa.
Ken, how does it feel to have this lovely turnout today?
Hey, Ken, how does it make you feel to have so many people here?
It's our bread and butter.
This is why we do it.
We do it to capture the imaginations of all the people.
And what would you say to all these people?
Ken, what would you say to all those people?
Eat your vegetables, you know, and do your homework.
And, you know, you can be Ken Carnegie, too.
I don't love the term daredevil, because that kind of implies that, you know, it's not a professional thing that we're planning out, you know.
But I am also, I'm a daredevil.
You know, you dare me, I'll devil.
How does it feel, Ken, out ? - in the runways.
It's rough.
It's like war.
You know, the whole thing is to be smoothed over.
I keep saying that.
Yeah.
The whole ramp feels weird, man.
Keep in mind that you're going to be going 280 when you hit the curb or the ramp.
That's a lot of Gs, so you're probably not going to feel a thing.
I need my mark.
I need more white lines.
I need more white lines, the entire length of it, OK?
How many times do I have to ask for this?
OK, OK.
That's a good idea.
We can get you more white lines.
Yeah, sure.
No problem.
But I'll take a look at it.
Tom Cruise, right?
Listen, just stay out of my shot, OK?
This is a 35 millimeter event film.
Oh, is that how they pronounce television in Japan?
I'm making a 16 millimeter documentary film.
So we're observing.
You can stay in the shot or don't.
Up to you.
That's cute.
I like that.
Good.
Do they let you in the editing room or?
Yeah.
Yeah, they do.
How nice.
That must be fun for you.
The jackass.
Shoot's good.
Four shoots ready to go.
Plan A and Plan B.
Anything to be concerned about?
No.
No, I've been back in film for 30 years.
Never had a problem.
Somebody up there likes you today.
All right, keep these conditions up.
It's perfect.
You're going to do this.
Today is the day.
Today.
Today.
Yeah, boy.
Green light.
Right pedal.
Hand release.
Go.
Check.
Yellow flag, 400 feet.
Middle pedal.
Check.
You can do it.
Nose dips off the tip of the ramp.
Left pedal when shoes deploy.
Check.
One more.
Let's do it again.
Oh, come on.
Let's give her.
Yeah.
No, let's do it again.
We got time, eh, boys?
We got time?
We're on track?
No, not really, no.
Yeah, it's great stuff.
Yeah.
You spray down my body right away.
You don't go for the source of the heat.
You get me.
You guys are fully credentialed.
You're allowed to be fired.
It's just a volunteer thing.
It's not.
What about the frog man?
Do you know the frog man?
What about the frog man?
This is it?
This is it.
We're doing it.
Yes.
All right.
All right.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
All right.
Let's do it.
This is it.
Do you like guinea pigs, Phil?
Are we talking about rodents?
Sure.
I have no problem with guinea pigs.
Big fan.
You're a big fan of guinea pigs?
Well, that stands to reason.
You technically are a human guinea pig.
What is it, Keller?
The crew won't refuel the tanks.
Aiden wants his money.
Oh, god damn it.
You know, I told you.
You said you were taking care of this.
Yeah, and I'm going to cut them a check.
Jack, no, no.
That's not going to work.
These guys take.
These aren't the kind of people that take checks.
Where the hell am I supposed to get $27,000 in cash at 4.30 PM in Morrisburg?
Well, I don't know.
You're the money guy.
I drive the car.
Is he just fucking?
Trevor, Trevor.
Not us.
Car.
Ask him if he has $27,000 in cash.
I don't speak Japanese.
Who the fuck has been translating this whole time?
I don't know.
It wasn't me.
Well, apparently Bill messed up.
And now they won't gas the vehicle.
So we can't do it, John.
There's no way he's going to find that amount of money before the sun goes down.
Bill better pay up.
I'm telling you.
You're OK with it.
You're happy.
What did you just say?
I said you're happy.
I'm not happy.
I want to do this.
I'm mad, OK?
I'm fuming here.
I'm blowing a gasket.
Well, you're walking away.
Would you stop that?
I'm not walking away.
When you get back over there, Ken, you're going to go stand by that car and quietly wait for Bill's money till you can see the hand in front of your face.
All right?
You go.
Just wait.
This ain't on you today.
Not today.
Come on.
Just go.
Please.
Like, seriously.
There's always something.
Do you think that Ken is maybe a little too scared to do the job?
Maybe he is.
But you know, he's about to risk his life, man.
That is true.
That's quite something, you know?
Have you ever felt that maybe you've been in the shadow, Ken?
Yeah, a little.
But I'm ready to step in, you know?
I'm supporting him in a way, you know?
Well, you've been with us since the beginning, since the very inception.
It's been a long road, a lot of broken bones.
But we are this close, this close to making history.
How long does it take to take away?
Wow.
Like a chicken?
Like a chicken for everyone?
Yeah.
I'll be a fucking joke on it.
Yeah, you know, the good Lord is shining down on me.
You know what I say?
It's a miracle.
Good tiding.
All right.
So you're going to walk over to the car, OK?
And you're going to say something electric, OK?
Bob, thank you for having me.
And good luck with your film.
Thank you, Ken.
OK, that's the opposite of what I asked for.
OK, give me something exciting.
Show me that you are a superstar, OK?
Let's go, I'm not fucking around.
This is zero hour.
Gloria, how about you and me go get hitched down to the States by an electric horses?
Just take my hand and we'll walk, OK?
Just turn, we'll just walk away.
It's a countdown.
Fortune favors the urgent, buddy.
Let's go.
If you're in the middle of a safety protocol, it's too late for that shit.
We are going.
This vehicle is filled with highly combustible fuel.
There's two ways this thing can go.
It can go perfectly or catastrophically.
You decide which way.
Good luck, Ken.
They're clearing. We have current, we have a 15 minute window, frogman, fireman already.
You still have that American presidential veto.
So if you see anything, say the word, this all goes away.
Everything goes away.
What's the call?
Okay.
Let's get this lid on.
Oh, God.
God help us.
You chicken shit motherfucker!
Who the fuck asked you to abort?
Seal blue on the loader regulator.
That's the dome regulator.
Invented.
He just dumped fuel all out the back of the dome.
I had to call it.
Okay?
Had he gone, would have been a small burst, no power.
He never would have made it.
Oh, Jesus Christ, I nearly had a heart attack, boys.
Can we fix it?
Yeah, we can fix it.
Go get a good night's sleep, right?
Come back, burst thing, and just go for it, right?
We were almost there, and he's ready to go.
We could have done this jump today if you hadn't fussed around for hours.
Put that finger away.
We could have done this jump today if you paid our bills like you were meant to.
With what money, Ken?
All of our money is right fucking here.
Not to mention the money that this fucking puke just barfed all over the runway because of a fucking valve.
There's a man's life at stake.
I don't give a shit.
You're stalling.
Green light means go, asshole.
From now on, that is it.
I won't be talked to that way.
Hell yes, you will.
I'm still talking.
See?
Ken, it pains me to say this, but I can no longer guarantee the safety of this jump.
I'm out.
I'm out.
All right, everybody, just breathe.
Take a breather, relax, take a break.
Take a deep breath.
Don't trust these idiots.
Don't trust them with your life.
Walk away.
I can't.
Yeah, you can.
I've got veto power.
I'm using it.
I'm pulling it right now.
Walk away with me right now.
I got a job now.
Oh, man.
People like me.
Of course people like you, Ken.
You're a goddamn fabulous person.
I mean, you really make us see incredible things in ourselves.
I like you a hell of a lot, about as much as one can.
Whether you jump or not doesn't change that for me or anybody else.
Either way.
No, no, I'm sorry.
No, no.
Oh, great.
Well, good lord.
We lost our rocket surgeon, which isn't important at all.
Shut the fuck up, Ken.
Okay?
Goddamn.
I got to tell you.
Everybody here feels really fucking good to finally say that.
Shut your fucking mouth.
Be quiet.
We're now into overages, so you or Polishcheck or whoever the fuck you are today is going to have to cough up, all right?
You are going to have to pay me to jump.
Ha, ha, ha!
All of this is my idea.
It says, good luck, Ken Carter.
Nobody knows who the hell Bill Wilkins is.
After watching you piss and moan and shit the day away and talk, talk, fucking talk.
I'm risking my life.
I'm the only one here risking my life.
So what you call just talking and talking and wasting time, that is final preparation, sir.
I think that you're never going to make that jump because you're fucking scared.
Of course I'm scared!
I'm trying to jump a fucking mile!
I'm not just hiding behind a camera passing judgments.
If you don't make this jump, then we will replace you.
Bill, I have put every penny I have into this.
There's nothing left.
I have no money left.
The piggy bank is shattered, all right?
How dare you question my integrity or my commitment to this jump?
Shame on you, Bill.
The real shame here is your lack of balls.
Ah!
Get on his balls!
So what are you going to do?
You know, I think I still want to jump.
Jesus.
I'm going.
I need to do the doing.
It's one more day.
Please just have faith in me.
Gloria, this is me.
This is what I do.
This is my intention.
Stop talking!
Everyone likes you, Kim.
Congratulations.
Except for the one person who loves you.
Hey.
Right on time.
How are you?
Hey, Bill.
I slept like the dead, so thank you for the room.
Come on in.
Listen, thank you very much for coming.
It was a crazy day yesterday, and we all thought maybe you could use a bit of pampering, so I'm trying to make it up to you.
I appreciate that, boys.
Thank you.
Thanks for reaching out.
Sure thing.
Come on in.
Let's talk.
Let's regroup.
Try to plan out this thing properly.
Let's find the perfect window over the next few days, right?
Yeah.
First of all, let me just apologize.
You know, I know that my behavior over the last few weeks has been bad.
We're all under immense stress, but I really let it get to me, and I'm sorry, Kim.
Well, thank you very much, Bill.
It takes a man to say that, you know, and I appreciate that.
We're sorry, too.
You know, words were said, you know, but you and I have been down a long road together, and we're going to see it through.
I promise you, you know.
So let's talk about those windows.
What's our next target date?
Next week, you know, I'm free.
Sure, absolutely.
But we also wanted to discuss some future plans with you as well.
You know, we know the film is going to have this Japanese opening, but we can see this thing going global.
It's exciting.
It's, you know, a worldwide television event.
It's wonderful.
Yeah.
Hey, where's that driver?
You guys are usually loaded to him.
He's watching Rush's.
And action!
John Day!
I love John Day.
I swear half the problem is a long countdown, too much time to mull it over, to think about it.
Five cans is all I need.
Fuck yeah.
Fuck yeah.
I want off this ramp and on this aisle.
Five seconds to glory, boys.
I'm American.
Here I come!
And what will you say to Ken when you see him next?
I did it.
I did it, man.
We get off the ramp because we don't want some terror tracks on us.
That's good.
Give him a hand, Ken.
Is it hot?
Japan, you know, it's really fascinating, you know, because I think they appreciate me.
I knew it.
I got the Kamikaze blood, you know, and I set up a few smaller jumps over in Japan, you know, just to coincide with the television premiere.
We could even have old Danny do a few of them just to take the load off of me.
He's a buffoon, but I believe him.
Let's do this!
Yellow flag, 400 feet!
Middle pedal!
Check!
Check!
Off the ramp!
Green means go!
This is a very dangerous jump, and we wanted to explore the idea with you, of course, of maybe treating this jump as a kind of a passing of the torch.
Your face is still front and center, obviously, but maybe we find a younger man.
Maybe a Danny LaFortune, right?
Who might actually perform the jump.
But we're still going to build this jump as yours.
Your face and name is all over it.
But Danny would do the job.
Where is Danny LaFortune?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Calm down, Carter.
You crazy son of a bitch!
I need my back brace, Bob.
It's got a custom airbrush.
It's got a...
Danny, we gotta go, okay?
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna go.
Carter found out, okay?
It's go time.
Okay.
It's buggered already.
It's perfect.
Are you sure about this?
Maybe just take a second.
Just maybe take a second to consider it.
Out of my shot, okay?
You know how to use this car.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I did it a hundred times with my superstar.
Metal pedal, yellow flag, whatever, I'm green.
Hit the gas!
Danny has no idea what he's doing.
He's never driven a car faster than 130, let alone a rocket car doing 280 miles per hour.
That rocket car is customized to fit me.
Okay?
Danny is a foot shorter than me.
His little feet won't even hit the fucking pedals.
But we feel he's ready.
Why?
That little man, he's going to die.
Get on the phone, call someone, and end this thing.
It's too late, Carter.
He's jumping in two minutes.
God.
You chicken shit.
You speak English?
Come on, come on, Brady.
Getting hot.
Bugger you.
Turn the fucking engine.
Fucking hell, man.
Forgive me, Carter.
I have sinned.
Let's go, God.
You never drop.
You're never going to jump.
I can see it in your eyes.
Everybody saw it.
That is libelous hogwash.
Well, let's see what the verdict is here, Carter.
Huh?
Let's see who's right, Carter.
You or me.
Wilkins.
Yeah?
Fuck, what?
Oh, no.
No, no photographs.
Stop rolling, now!
What?
What happened?
They jumped.
The car ripped apart in the air.
Let's go.
Come on, God damn it.
Do you know how to run?
Move your ass.
Don't run right at me.
Come on!
What went wrong?
God damn it.
You should be real grateful, Carter.
We just saved your life.
Is he alive?
I don't know.
Come on!
When your love has moved away You must face yourself and you must say I
remember better days Don't you cry, cause
she is gone
For check. What the hell happened?
You're right.
The bumps on the asphalt.
He got rocked.
Jesus.
He broke his back.
Might not walk again.
He was lucky.
The only reason the chutes deployed was the chassis around it disintegrated.
No chutes and it would have hit the water faster, he would have died.
For check.
Yeah Why did they do the jump without me They didn't think you'd jump
yet, but Danny Danny didn't even think about it.
He just did it.
I'm sorry count.
I'm so sorry I think not Yeah, can we oh my god?

No, it's like tearing a number.

Ken carter Was killed early today trying to beat his own world record.
Can't came close to pulling off a jump even evil can evil deemed a terrible stunt to end all dead.
Before his final attempt at Mars, he made me promise that I'd only, you know.
He only loved you. - he loved you too.
I'll be here if you need me, outside. - No please. Stay.
Please don't blame yourself.
It was all my fault.
Please, don't waste any time mourning.
Move on.
Start a new life for yourself.
Come find me.
See you on the other side.
I'm afraid you'll never see me.
But if you do, please understand, no matter what the jump, you will always do what I was aiming for.
You are my rose.
This is the end of my dream.
I don't care if I ever jump again, but this I'm going to do.
This is my dream.
I created it.
I built it.
I designed it.
Nobody ever jumped a car in my life.
That's what I'm going to do.
That's what I want to do.
And that's what I'm going to do.
The thing about it is, it's something that you only dream about.
What can I do, jump 18, 19 cars, 20 cars, go out there and bust more bones?
You're right, I'm getting too old, but not old enough to do this.
I'll do this.
I won't retire.
We can travel around with the kids.
I'll teach the children like the eagle said, but I'll teach them because they believe in me.
This is next.
It's the final.
It's the ultimate thing.
What can you do with a car other than this?
Can't find what you're looking for?
