Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,520
My name is Alan Bond.
2
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,200
You may have heard of me.
3
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,080
In the 1980's I was one of the
most famous people on the planet
4
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,560
I own three private jets,
5
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,080
four yachts
bigger than your house,
6
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,800
a castle in England
7
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,120
and houses all round the world.
8
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,920
I work hard.
9
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,560
Since I was young I learned
10
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,400
to grab whatever
opportunities I could.
11
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,040
Don't worry about that bit.
12
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,800
I now own TV stations,
13
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,560
gold mines,
14
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,360
a fleet of blimps,
15
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,560
I even send
satellites into space.
16
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,840
And if you're drinking
a beer while watching this,
17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,760
there's a pretty
good chance I brewed it.
18
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,560
World leaders
look to me for guidance.
19
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,280
I made friends easily.
20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,520
But I always came home
to the love of a good woman.
21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,720
Two good women.
22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,760
And did I mention
I also achieved the impossible,
23
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,680
the biggest sporting victory
this country has ever seen.
24
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,400
-People trusted me.
25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,840
My business life
was smooth sailing.
26
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,480
I'm going
to crucify that curse.
27
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,240
And I led
an uncomplicated family life.
28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,200
You can start
by throwing that curse out!
29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,840
People often ask me,
30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,520
Alan, what's
the secret to your success?
31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,600
How did you go from
high-school drop out
32
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,640
to becoming
Australia's richest man?
33
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,000
- Alan.
-It's simple.
34
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,000
Never take no for an answer.
35
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Excuse me, Miss. Excuse me.
36
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,720
Hi. Um,
37
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,520
My name's Alan and ah...
38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,960
I'd like to take you
out some time if you...
39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,680
give me your phone number?
40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Here's a pencil.
41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,520
Thank you very much.
42
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,000
"GET LOST"
43
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,560
-That's how it's done boys.
44
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,360
And if you find a better deal,
45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,840
-take it.
-"Parnell Signs"
46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,400
Good day mate, how are you?
47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,800
Listen, I don't know what he's
charging you for this job but...
48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,400
I guarantee you
I could do it for half the price
49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,560
if you give me a chance?
50
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,640
-What's up boss?
-You been stealing my customers.
51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,880
You cheeky little curse.
52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,640
You're fired. And so are you!
53
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,400
- What did I do?
- Going along with him!
54
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:56,800
Al, go and apologize!
55
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,240
I'm not groveling to anyone.
56
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,160
-Alan?
-Nah, later. I've got a date.
57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,920
Can I drive you home tonight?
58
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,840
We only just met.
59
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:09,200
So. Is that a yes?
60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,640
I heard you
were a bit fresh but,
61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,360
you're a cheeky little curse.
62
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,360
Eileen Hughes.
63
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,000
The best thing that
ever happened to me.
64
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,600
Stick with me, Eileen.
65
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,640
I'm going to be a millionaire.
66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,840
We'll be rich.
67
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,600
I don't care about money.
68
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,560
I'll give you
everything you want.
69
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,240
I want to have a family.
70
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,720
A big one.
71
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,600
-Really?
-Mm-mm.
72
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,560
Why don't you ah,
73
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,120
-show me those steps again?
74
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,360
-You want to marry my daughter?
- Yes, sir.
75
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,240
Doozer, uh Mr. Hughes.
76
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,400
But you don't have a job.
77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,280
That's because
I'm starting my own business.
78
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,200
NU-Signs, spelled N. U.
79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,920
Alan's going
to be a millionaire.
80
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,160
And your parents?
They're Protestant you say?
81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,560
Yes.
82
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,960
But don't hold that against
them they're really nice people.
83
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,960
And my mother's an angel,
everyone says so.
84
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,280
She already adores
Eileen, doesn't she?
85
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,320
Do you think this lad
will make you happy?
86
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,120
I do.
87
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,400
I now pronounce
you husband and wife.
88
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,120
We made
the perfect couple.
89
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:43,120
Mum and Eileen got
on like a house on fire.
90
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,840
Mum couldn't have been happier.
91
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,120
He'll regret this.
92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,080
She's a nice girl.
93
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,960
Becoming a Catholic.
94
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,400
-Ma.
-Congratulations Dear.
95
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,920
-Mum.
96
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,480
He's got
a good set of lungs on him.
97
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,600
Oh yeah.
98
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,120
Oh there is my
beautiful, beautiful boy.
99
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,800
He's got Allan's nose.
100
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,120
I love you.
101
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,760
I was not a millionaire.
Not yet.
102
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:37,760
- Anyone can dream big,
103
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,640
but to pull it off you
have to start taking risks.
104
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:45,120
Going once, going twice,
105
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:46,880
-Sold,
106
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,400
to Mr. Alan Bond.
107
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,560
I didn't know you were bidding?
108
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:53,680
Do you have the requisite
bank check Mr. Bond?
109
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,920
It's on its way.
110
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,200
Let me get this correct.
111
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,000
You bought a block of land
without the money to pay for it?
112
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,400
It's not how things are done.
113
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Right now you
are branch manager?
114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:07,640
But in the future,
115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,000
you could be state manager.
116
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,680
Now imagine getting
in on the ground floor,
117
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:13,800
with somebody
who is going to change
118
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,760
the face of business in Perth?
119
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,040
Imagine how much
money that will make you.
120
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,640
What's it going to be?
121
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,760
Well good morning
ladies and gentlemen.
122
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,720
Firstly I'd like to
thank you for coming out
123
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,240
today for the sale
of Lesmurdie Heights.
124
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,080
If you want a block
you will have to act fast.
125
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,280
This is a limited release.
126
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,640
A once
in a lifetime opportunity.
127
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,640
I'm going to give you
five minutes to think about it.
128
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,240
Everyone will get the same time.
We can't be fairer than that.
129
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,040
-Can we Dave?
-Seems fair to me.
130
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,160
Alright here we go.
Counting down.
131
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:45,720
Starting the clock...
132
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:47,840
now!
133
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Look at them.
134
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:55,800
Normal, regular people.
135
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,160
All of them afraid
of taking a chance.
136
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,360
All they needed
was a little push.
137
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,320
Three minutes to
go ladies and gentlemen.
138
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,240
This is a once in a
lifetime opportunity. You, Sir,
139
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,520
are you going to be one of
the lucky ones here today?
140
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,120
What about council approval?
141
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,720
All but
rubber-stamped my friend.
142
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,080
60 seconds to go folks.
143
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,400
Sir, are you going to be
a winner or a loser today?
144
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,200
-Do you take cash?
145
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,640
-Yes we take cash.
146
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,840
Yes indeed.
Come on up sir.
147
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,200
Ladies and gentlemen
there is a smart man.
148
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,160
He has secured his
future ladies and gentlemen.
149
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,240
Ten percent deposit today.
150
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,080
This is
your only opportunity
151
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,920
to make your
dreams come true today.
152
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Don't be shy.
153
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,240
Also, you can choose whichever
lot is more favorable to you.
154
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,760
Act now please.
155
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,160
That's the way. This today is
not going to happen tomorrow.
156
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,520
We need to sell it all today.
157
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,720
You will not be disappointed.
158
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,320
This is your chance
to make your dreams come true
159
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,400
right here today.
160
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,280
- What's your name sir?
- Start your future right
161
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,160
here at Lesmurdie Heights.
162
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:05,920
We did it.
163
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,440
This is all
above board, isn't it?
164
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,720
Of course.
165
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,240
Where's Bondy?
166
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,000
-Where's Bondy?
-Alan's not here.
167
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,280
He's on another job.
168
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,560
I haven't been
paid for 12 months
169
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,120
and I am not going
anywhere until I do.
170
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,840
-You got it?
-Alright! Calm down mate.
171
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,280
-Why did you pay him?
172
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,480
-Because we owed him.
- So?
173
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:47,200
Creditors are cheap money!
174
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,320
They don't charge interest,
the banks do!
175
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,200
We could've stretched
it out another six months!
176
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,240
Look, I thought it was better
to just pay him and get it--
177
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,760
I don't pay you to think Dave!
I pay you to do what I say!
178
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,120
I can't keep doing this. I can't
keep ducking and weaving.
179
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Al you've got to change
the way you do business.
180
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Or what, Dave?
What will you do?
181
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,360
-I'll leave.
-Curse off then!
182
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,360
-I'm not joking, Al.
-Does it look like I am!
183
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,360
You still owe me
my share of the land deal.
184
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,720
Mum's asked me to
make a trifle on Sunday.
185
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,880
I'm thinking tinned peaches.
What do you think?
186
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:26,720
Alan?
187
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,000
-Mm?
-Dave's let me down.
188
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,880
He was supposed to pay someone
and he didn't do it so I...
189
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:34,680
I had to let him go.
190
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,120
Let him go?
191
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,840
-Dave's a part of the business.
-Not any more.
192
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,520
Alan, it's Dave!
193
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,800
He'd do anything for you.
194
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,040
That's it,
I'm getting him on the phone.
195
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,200
No. He's gone.
196
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,320
And that's that.
197
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,920
I have got to go out.
I've got business to do.
198
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,080
-You only just got home.
-Yeah I need to make more money.
199
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:56,240
We need a bigger house.
200
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,560
-Mm.
-See ya.
201
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,800
Daddy's going
to get us a bigger house.
202
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,320
It most certainly
is not, it's an American car.
203
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:29,760
It's a convertible.
204
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,160
It hasn't got a top.
205
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,200
You girls should get
into property development.
206
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,360
That's where
I made all my money.
207
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,280
I just started a new
company building apartments.
208
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,840
I think you should come
and have a look at one of them.
209
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:44,120
Looking over the Swan River.
210
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,240
It's expansive,
breathtaking views.
211
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,920
-Wow.
-Big bedrooms too.
212
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,720
I mean the beds, you could
fit three, four people in them.
213
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,960
-Interested?
214
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,560
Eileen and I made a good team.
215
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,080
She brought up the family.
216
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,600
I brought home the bacon.
217
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,280
I gave Eileen
everything she ever wanted.
218
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,680
She couldn't have been happier.
219
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,280
By the late 60's I was building
220
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,120
shopping centers
and apartment blocks.
221
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:38,520
I bought
farmland and subdivided.
222
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,680
I son made my first million.
223
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,240
Then my second.
224
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,760
Every time the
doubters thought I'd go bust,
225
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,240
I'd just borrow more.
226
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,640
It's what the average
punter doesn't know,
227
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,760
debt equals wealth
228
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,440
and with wealth comes influence.
229
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,200
Ah there she is.
King of the kids.
230
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,320
I'm sorry I'm late darling.
231
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Meeting went
longer than expected.
232
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,200
-Morning, Dad.
-Morning, Alan.
233
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,600
You're early.
234
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,640
How are the children?
235
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:28,680
Eileen's got her hands full.
236
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,600
-She certainly pops them out.
-Mother.
237
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,120
I never wanted
you to marry a Catholic,
238
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,320
but now that you have you need
to get your house in order.
239
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,760
-Meaning what?
-I'm hearing rumors.
240
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,800
Ah.
241
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,920
Don't mind me, I'll just...
242
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,040
these look very nice.
243
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:48,960
Um...
244
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,360
I'll leave you to it.
245
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,600
I know what you're like, Alan.
246
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,560
You need to be careful.
247
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,440
-Meaning what?
-Unplanned errors.
248
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,080
Plenty of men are left
high and dry paying for their...
249
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:08,680
mistakes.
250
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,480
Between
the ex-wives and child support
251
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:11,840
they end up with nothing.
252
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,840
There's no comfort
being old and poor.
253
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,560
You're not old and poor.
254
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,680
I'm not talking about me.
255
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,360
I worked hard. I bought
this land. I built this house.
256
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,880
I can assure you Mother,
257
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,560
that will never happen.
258
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,560
Spend time, with your family.
259
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,880
Appearances count.
260
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,800
Higher, higher.
261
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,280
Sold.
360,000 pounds to you Mr. Bond.
262
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,840
Please be aware,
ladies and gentlemen,
263
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,120
this sale is not complete
264
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,160
until Mr. Bond can procure
a bank check for ten percent.
265
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,480
You know I'm good for it.
266
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,040
You have one hour.
267
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,640
Let me guess,
this is more for me...
268
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,240
than for you?
269
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,600
What you gotta realize is,
270
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,840
you don't need money.
271
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,440
Money needs you.
272
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,440
The trick is to ask for a lot.
273
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,120
You ask for a small amount,
274
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,040
banks'll give you a hard time,
make you fill out lots of forms.
275
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,360
You ask for a couple
of hundred thousand,
276
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,960
and it's like,
yeah, sure take it.
277
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,480
I mean while you're at it,
take the whole vault.
278
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,840
I'm a money-cursing genius.
279
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,320
You're kissing
a woman in public.
280
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,760
-Ah Christ, it was nothing.
281
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,040
How do you think
it makes me feel?
282
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,040
I don't know,
happy that we got bloody money.
283
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,520
-I want it to stop, or else.
-Or else what?
284
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,360
Oh you want me to say it, fine.
285
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,880
I'll leave you
and I'll take the kids.
286
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,080
-You leave me...
-Then where will you be?
287
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,480
You leave me,
you'll be on your own.
288
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,560
You'll be a social outcast.
289
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:08,920
I've got friends.
290
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,640
Yeah you do, married ones.
291
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,840
You think they're going
to want you hanging around?
292
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,680
They'll be scared you're going
to run off with their husbands!
293
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
And they won't talk
to you either cause
294
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,040
they'll want to keep
doing business with me.
295
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,400
God, look at you.
296
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,400
You think anybody else
is going to want to date you
297
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,760
with three kids hanging off you?
298
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,240
Even if you do get a date,
299
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,440
it'll be with some loser
that wants my money!
300
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,760
Oh you curse-head!
301
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,120
-What is it you want from me?
-I want my husband.
302
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,880
I want us to be a proper family.
303
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,360
For curse sake,
I give you everything!
304
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,520
Let me see.
305
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,040
Really,
306
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,440
-you can't leave me, Eileen.
307
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,760
I need you.
308
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,120
Okay, I'm no good without you.
309
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,000
Together we make sense.
310
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,640
For the kids, for the business.
311
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,320
-For business?
-For us.
312
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,520
-For us.
313
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,960
I never want to be
humiliated like that ever again.
314
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,280
I promise it won't happen again.
315
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,680
Business was booming
316
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,800
and Perth was
ripe for the picking.
317
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,160
So I created a bigger company,
318
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:31,680
Bond Corporation.
319
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,800
-Like the name?
320
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,000
Of course none of the real
work was done in the office.
321
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,640
We'd start by loosening
clients up with a bit of class
322
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:41,960
and sophistication.
323
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,200
Ah, there he is.
324
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,040
-Ah, Bert.
325
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,960
I'm sorry Alan but I can't
approve a subdivision that size.
326
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,480
The land would
have to be rezoned.
327
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,640
Ah well,
328
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,880
you can make
that happen, can’t you?
329
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,920
You know I have
been told you’re the man.
330
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,800
Well I can do things, yeah.
331
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,120
That’s your
lovely wife, isn’t it?
332
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,280
-Yes, Faye.
-Faye.
333
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,600
It's just the best for shopping.
334
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,280
The clothes,
the shoes, I was telling Alan.
335
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:04,840
You just can’t get them here.
336
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,320
Oh yeah.
Hey, you two should go together.
337
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,840
Eileen knows
all the best places.
338
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,520
Yes, that's such a good idea.
We'll have a blast.
339
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,240
- Ah put it there.
340
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,840
- To shopping.
-To shopping.
341
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,440
Then when
Eileen was away shopping,
342
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,960
we'd throw the real party.
343
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,480
Seal the deal.
344
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,320
You curse!
I'm getting a divorce!
345
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,600
Love, wait!
346
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,600
Don’t be like that.
347
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,800
How do you get away with it?
348
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,000
Where’s your wife?
349
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,800
Anyone who has
a creative bone in their body
350
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,120
needs a nuts
and bolts man by their side.
351
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,560
Mine was Peter Beckwith.
352
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,480
Interesting fact,
353
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,880
No one in Australia has ever
gone broke owning a brewery.
354
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,280
It’s liquid gold.
355
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,000
We get our
hands on one of those,
356
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,280
we’ll be recession-proof.
357
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,120
Breweries don’t come cheap,
358
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,920
and we can’t just keep
borrowing.
359
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:28,760
What if
the market changes?
360
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,120
I’m happy to do a cost analysis.
361
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,920
Find which one has
a larger market share.
362
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,640
Thank you Peter.
I knew you’d see it my way.
363
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,840
Well we’ll have to
offload a few things.
364
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,160
No, we’re not selling anything.
365
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,800
Why are there three desserts?
366
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,640
Ah, excuse me miss?
367
00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:54,680
Yes, sir? Is everything
to your satisfaction?
368
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I’m afraid not.
369
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,000
Oh, I’m sorry. How can I help?
370
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,720
Diana Bliss.
371
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,800
From the moment I saw
her I knew I was in trouble.
372
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,880
Well you can
join us for dessert.
373
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,400
The creme brule is the
chef’s specialty.
374
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,640
I’m sorry sir,
but I can’t accept.
375
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:13,960
Why not?
376
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,000
It wouldn’t be fair
to the other diners.
377
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,480
Listen you go and start
looking at brewery options.
378
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,080
How about a nightcap?
379
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,920
The diners can’t
complain about that.
380
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:33,640
I’m sorry but I really can’t.
381
00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:35,800
I fly out first
thing in the morning.
382
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,680
-This is my second job.
-Huh.
383
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,120
I’m an air-hostess.
384
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,480
Plus
385
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,680
I don’t date married men.
386
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,440
Ah well,
that’s just for show mostly.
387
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,640
It's uh, we’re not
really together any more.
388
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,400
You do know who I am?
389
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:55,800
Should I?
390
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,200
Well, I’m kind
of a big deal in this town,
391
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:00,360
you know,
392
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,040
and very,
393
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,640
very rich.
394
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,800
Well I’m sure your wife
must be very, very happy.
395
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,040
Ever since I was a kid
I dreamed of being a sailor.
396
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,920
Well actually,
that's not completely true.
397
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:22,560
So here she is.
398
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,280
What?
Here's what?
399
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,600
I don't want a boat.
I want to get paid.
400
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:28,680
Yeah sure, sure,
401
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,800
this boat is worth
more than what I owe you.
402
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,240
You're getting a bargain.
403
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,520
Is this the biggest boat here?
404
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:39,680
It's the best.
405
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,160
and it's got
the number one mooring.
406
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,880
Automatic entry into
the Royal Perth Yacht Club.
407
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,520
Anyone who is anyone in this
town is a member of the R.P.Y.C.
408
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,720
You'll be alright mate.
409
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,000
You'll be good.
You'll be good.
410
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,280
Next
we have Mr. Alan Bond.
411
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,640
First time I met him
he was gruff, boorish, and loud.
412
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,800
Second time
I met him he was worse.
413
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,600
But Bond Corporation
has assets worth millions.
414
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,240
Hm and debts to match.
415
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,440
What we have
to ask ourselves is this,
416
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,200
is Mr. Bond
suitable for our club?
417
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Will he maintain
the traditions and
418
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,760
standards we've come
to expect of our members?
419
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,360
Now, are we ready to vote?
420
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:42,640
They've refused me!
421
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,240
I've got R. 1,
royal number one, on my sail
422
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,560
and they won't let me in.
423
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,600
-Can they even do that?
-I'm gonna sue them!
424
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,640
No. You've got
the biggest boat haven't you?
425
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,160
-What do you mean?
-Better rub their faces in it.
426
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,720
-Yeah!
427
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,640
Let's show the curses!
428
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,720
Here you go, Captain.
429
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,480
Sweet tea.
430
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:10,720
Best thing for seasickness.
431
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:22,520
There he is.
432
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,400
Hello, Alan!
433
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,720
-Keep practicing there boy.
434
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:32,760
You'll get there.
435
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:40,320
Who was that?
436
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,000
Bloody commodore
of the Royal Perth Yacht Club.
437
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,600
Those petty childish curses.
438
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,280
They thought they were big?
439
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,360
They didn't know what big was.
440
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,080
And here comes Apollo,
441
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,880
on its maiden Sydney to Hobart.
442
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,120
The crew can hold their head
high especially
443
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,440
West Australian
skipper...
444
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,520
Alan Bond.
445
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,080
Frank?
446
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,560
-Frank?
-Yes?
447
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,040
I thought you'd like to know,
Alan's doing quite well.
448
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,240
Oh, goodo.
449
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,720
- And there it is.
450
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,400
Apollo is
second for line honors.
451
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,200
Frank?
452
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:31,760
Frank come inside.
453
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,400
-Frank?
454
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,080
Frank!
455
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,040
-Frank! Frank!
456
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,640
No! Frank!
457
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,040
Frank. Frank.
458
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,040
About the only
significant thing he did,
459
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,640
bringing us to Australia.
460
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,520
He came out here to create
a better life for us all.
461
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,520
He sacrificed a lot.
462
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,880
I don't think you ever
really appreciated that.
463
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,720
Well he never
appreciated anything I did.
464
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,240
It was a lovely service.
465
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,960
Have you given any
thought to what you'll do now?
466
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,600
-Do?
-Where you might live?
467
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,560
I've been thinking,
468
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,080
we have a big home.
469
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,840
If you don't want to be rattling
around here on your own,
470
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,360
we'd be happy if you moved in
with Alan and I, wouldn't we?
471
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,560
We have a private guest
room with its own bathroom.
472
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,320
I'm perfectly happy to...
473
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,320
"rattle around" on my
own thank you dear.
474
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:01,720
He wasn't very old.
475
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,200
You're not like him,
476
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,160
you're more like me.
477
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,680
And I have no intention
of dying any time soon.
478
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,760
What death
teaches you about life,
479
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,280
is never leave
anything to chance.
480
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,200
-Miss Bliss?
-Just over there.
481
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,880
Miss Bliss.
482
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,240
You can just throw those in the
bin Martina, thank you so much.
483
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,160
If you push hard enough,
484
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,040
the right people will hear you.
485
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,680
News of my yachting achievements
had reached halls of real power.
486
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,400
I got summoned
by Sir Frank Packer.
487
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,600
He was a legendary hard man.
488
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,840
You're looking well, Sir Frank.
489
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,600
Bloody liar.
490
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,680
Is there something
I can help you with?
491
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,000
-Help me?
-Hm.
492
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,360
No, no...
493
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,160
I want to help you.
494
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,600
I want you
to take it up to the Yanks.
495
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,720
Win the America's Cup.
496
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:17,800
I should've won,
497
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,040
but the New York Yacht Club
curses cheated me out of it.
498
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,160
I don't have
it in me to do it again.
499
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,840
-Why me?
-Because it takes money.
500
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,080
Lots of it.
501
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,200
And balls.
502
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,920
Big ones.
503
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,680
I've watched
your rise over the years.
504
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,320
You're like a mongrel
dog who won't be put down.
505
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,040
I guess that's a compliment.
506
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,760
But I thought the America's
Cup was a gentleman's sport.
507
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,320
You should know by now, Alan.
508
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,760
The richer the prize,
the more scoundrels in the race.
509
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,000
Do you want
a seat at the table son?
510
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,920
One you've never
been invited to before?
511
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,640
Whoever wins the America's Cup,
512
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,080
can write their own future.
513
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,960
Taking on the Yanks
wasn’t gonna come cheap.
514
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,640
I needed a way to get
my hands on a couple of million.
515
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,040
And I needed it fast.
516
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,080
Now the shorter guy,
he’s the one from Yokohama.
517
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,080
Now his boss is the one from
Tokyo had dinner with last year.
518
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,760
-Remember he brought his wife.
-Peter,
519
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,160
You're being a nervous Nellie.
520
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,640
It’s all under control.
521
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,720
We've got a lot
riding on this Alan.
522
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,040
They’re gonna love it.
523
00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:36,240
The
Cote d’Azur of Western Australia
524
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:37,560
The Mediterranean Down Under.
525
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,200
Here?
526
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:40,360
At Yanchep?
527
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,360
Doll, it’s a two hour
drive from anywhere.
528
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,640
"Sun City home of Australia's
America's Cup challenge 1974"
529
00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:51,400
When I win the America’s Cup,
530
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,200
in Newport, Rhode Island,
531
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,480
we will defend it here
at Yanchep, Western Australia.
532
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:57,720
What if you don’t win?
533
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:58,880
I will win.
534
00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:00,720
And the eyes
of the world will be upon us.
535
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:02,960
We need to be ready for them.
536
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,560
500 million
people will see us training,
537
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:06,880
they will see the clean beaches,
538
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,240
the lack of pollution and they
will want to come and live here,
539
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,760
in the best place on earth.
540
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:13,760
A super-fast
hovercraft and ferry service
541
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:15,360
going from Yanchep, Sun City.
542
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,640
You could be in Perth
in just over an hour.
543
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,440
A racetrack
that will rival Royal Ascot.
544
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:26,080
A Grand Prix Circuit better than
anything Monaco has to offer.
545
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,640
And a new Disneyland.
546
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,440
The place to spend
your family holiday.
547
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,800
And of course
a major residential development.
548
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,640
With investments from Bond Corp
549
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:40,920
and the government,
550
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,560
Yanchep, Sun City
551
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,680
will hold
a place of national pride
552
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,080
and be a racing
mecca for the world.
553
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,520
Is it fair to say Mr. Bond
554
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,040
that this challenge
isn't purely about sport?
555
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,600
Anyone who considers that
racing for the America’s Cup
556
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,960
isn’t a business
proposition is a bloody fool.
557
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,200
Ha, here they are.
558
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,520
-Right on time.
559
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,720
Come on over and have a look.
560
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:16,800
-Nice touch.
-Yeah.
561
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,680
We’ve extended Alan a lot
of credit on this dream of his.
562
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,480
His debt is mounting.
563
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,080
Which will soon be repaid.
564
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,080
All 250 million dollars of it?
565
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,240
If we don’t win
the America’s Cup we’re screwed.
566
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,720
Don’t you underestimate Alan.
567
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,240
He’s always got a plan.
568
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,040
We arrived
in Newport with the fastest boat
569
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,360
and the best team.
570
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:54,720
I told the yanks,
571
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,360
stuff the racing, you might
as well give us the cup now.
572
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,280
The American boat
Courageous was just too good
573
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,640
to win by 4 minutes,
54 seconds.
574
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:04,920
Race 2.
575
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,880
1 minute
and 11 seconds ahead.
576
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,000
With
America’s Courageous the victor.
577
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,080
Race 3.
578
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,200
Another great win
by the Americans
579
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,280
who finish 5 minutes,
27 seconds in front.
580
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,280
The Americans win by
7 minutes 18 seconds.
581
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,720
It’s all over.
582
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,720
Alan Bond’s
Cup Challenge is over.
583
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,720
Come on love.
584
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,320
In the real world,
585
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,280
there’s no prize
for second place
586
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,760
and I hated coming second.
587
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,480
We could always
move in with your mother.
588
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,800
-Okay,
589
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,040
-now you’re taking the curse.
590
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,000
Ah, the kids.
591
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,520
What kids?
592
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,240
We don’t have any, do we?
593
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,720
The thing is, Alan,
594
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,240
Bond Corp’s debt
level is unsustainable.
595
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,760
100 million this month!
596
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:39,400
You’ve got
a bunch of over-inflated assets
597
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,000
not worth anywhere near that.
598
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,840
Now you tell us
why we shouldn’t pull the plug,
599
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,040
right now.
600
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,480
Convince us.
601
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,160
-You’re right.
602
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,320
We’re in the toilet.
603
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,080
We are totally
up to our necks in it.
604
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,280
But who better
to get us out of it than me?
605
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,480
Who is going to get the best
price for these dud assets
606
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,160
You lot? Come on.
607
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,520
I am the only one
who can save this situation.
608
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:05,920
You pull the plug now
609
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,480
and you’ll be
lumbered with the debt
610
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,120
and no means
to get your money back.
611
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,760
You’ll lose it all.
612
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:12,200
Gone.
613
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,240
And when you do,
614
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,680
your customers won’t
think you’re such a safe bet.
615
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,000
They might decide
to take their money elsewhere.
616
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,800
But by all means
617
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,040
-here, you take control.
618
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,080
- Stop!
619
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,240
The Japanese were already
on the hook for half on Yanchep.
620
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,360
I just had to convince
them to buy me out.
621
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,840
My strategy was simple.
622
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,480
No, no, no,
623
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,800
I want to buy
your share of the deal.
624
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,000
All right, the government
is getting behind this
625
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,120
and Bond Corp plans to spend
millions more on infrastructure.
626
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:52,800
What do you say?
627
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,960
Are you going to sell
me your share of the deal?
628
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,320
Only one of us can own it all.
629
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:58,840
Wait a minute.
630
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,640
What would it take for you...
631
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,880
to sell it to us?
632
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,000
Thanks to our
marvelous Chairman,
633
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,880
Yanchep is now off our books.
634
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,480
With the Santos Oil
and gas deal now complete,
635
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,840
we’re in really good shape.
636
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,160
We’re continuing
our building projects
637
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:39,720
and mining interests,
638
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,000
but this is the time to
expand into new areas.
639
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:45,320
Media, retail,
640
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,280
new manufacturing companies.
641
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,120
All cash rich areas
642
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,040
that will ensure Bond Corp
643
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,280
pushes strongly into the 1980’s
644
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,880
with a diverse
and profitable slate.
645
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,360
You again, Mr. Bond.
646
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,400
So you do remember me.
647
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,280
I found out, but...
648
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,560
I still don’t date married men.
649
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,640
Even if they
are very, very rich.
650
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,000
-Have supper with me?
-I can’t accept those,
651
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,680
and I’m not hungry.
652
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,840
Well at least let
me walk you to your car?
653
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,400
And you Mr. Bond?
654
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,320
You’re a businessman
who likes sailing?
655
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:40,680
Well you’ve heard
of the America’s Cup.
656
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,200
I’m going to win it.
657
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,800
Nobody’s taken it from
the Yanks in a hundred years
658
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:47,560
and I’m going
to be the one to do it.
659
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,000
-It means a lot to you?
-Yeah.
660
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:52,880
Well,
661
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,080
it’s a chance to write
your name in the history books.
662
00:34:55,720 --> 00:34:57,360
Being the first
to do something like um,
663
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,200
like Armstrong on the moon
664
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,080
or Sir Edmund climbing Everest.
665
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,240
It’s a chance
to be remembered forever.
666
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:09,880
-Well this is my car.
667
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,680
Are you sure I can’t convince
you to have supper with me?
668
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,160
I'm from a country town
669
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,440
and if a married man
was seen having supper with
670
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:23,080
a woman other than his wife,
then everyone would know it.
671
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:24,880
But we’re not in a country town.
672
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,000
Yes, we are.
673
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,120
Why me?
674
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,840
You’re a wealthy man,
675
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,120
you could no doubt
have your pick of women,
676
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,080
so why me?
677
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,240
Because
I noticed you right away.
678
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:42,960
The way you
crossed the room, you uh...
679
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:44,880
you glide,
680
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:47,760
while others merely walk.
681
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,960
Goodnight.
I can’t, I’m sorry.
682
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,160
-Thank you very much
683
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,600
How did you know where I lived?
684
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:30,960
I’m a multi-millionaire.
685
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,280
I can find these things out.
686
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,320
You talk about your money a lot.
687
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,200
I suppose I do.
688
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,200
Listen, I didn’t come here
to ask you out I came here to...
689
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,000
offer you a job.
690
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:44,920
With flowers?
691
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,840
These are for my mother.
692
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:48,400
-Okay.
693
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,800
You’re an air-hostess, right?
694
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,680
Travel back and forth to Sydney?
695
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,120
How would you like
to fly back and forth to London?
696
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,480
I need a chief stewardess...
697
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:58,880
on my private jet.
698
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,720
And you thought of me?
699
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,200
I like the way
you hold yourself.
700
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:05,320
You have grace.
701
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,320
-I glide.
702
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:09,920
You glide.
703
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,840
I travel with many business
people and want them to feel...
704
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,320
the way that I do
when I’m around you.
705
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,400
And how is that?
706
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,120
Relaxed.
707
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:22,240
At ease...
708
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,800
and I promise I won’t
try and kiss you again.
709
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:26,960
That was clumsy. I’m an oaf.
710
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:28,320
I admit it.
711
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,440
This is a genuine offer.
712
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:43,280
Here we go. Here we go,
713
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,240
"The Taurus man will never
romantically sweep off your feet
714
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:48,760
but will bring you
the architect’s plans
715
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,480
for the house
he’s going to build you."
716
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,200
Sounds like you.
717
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:56,400
Ah thanks, Pet.
718
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:57,840
I’ve got
a couple of theater tickets
719
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,000
to the West End
for tomorrow night.
720
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:00,560
A new Neil Simon play.
721
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,360
You?
722
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:03,560
Theater?
723
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,840
Thought you might like it.
724
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:07,080
Something different.
725
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,160
Far too busy.
726
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:10,080
I've got lunch with Sophie
then 20 for dinner at the Ritz.
727
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:11,760
Ha...
728
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:12,840
theater.
729
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:31,960
Here she is,
meet Diana Bliss everyone.
730
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,440
Isn’t she gorgeous?
731
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,280
Now this is David the director
732
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,360
and Julie who played "Hannah"
733
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,880
and Marcus who played "William"
and Andrew, and Phillipa and...
734
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:41,200
Oh hello.
Yes you were wonderful.
735
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,640
Champagne. More champagne.
736
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,280
So if you could
do anything
737
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:46,960
what would you do?
738
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,480
Something
in the theater probably.
739
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,360
-You want to be an actor?
740
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,240
No I’d be petrified.
741
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,000
Maybe I could um be a producer.
742
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,680
I could put the plays on.
743
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:02,840
Then that’s what you’ll do.
744
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,920
-Just like that?
-Why not?
745
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,760
I’d also like to be married
746
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:09,960
and have children.
747
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,080
Me too.
748
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,480
You already have children.
749
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:15,920
With you.
750
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,400
I um...
751
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,000
I've never felt the way
I do when I am with you.
752
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:28,280
You make me happy.
753
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,160
Anyway um...
754
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:36,640
goodnight.
755
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,280
We should do this in private.
756
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:19,920
Hey.
757
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:22,640
What happens now?
758
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:27,760
Anything we want.
759
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:57,800
What are you doing?
760
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,720
Alan are you out of your mind?
761
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,800
I am not doing anything.
I am just going to the toilet.
762
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:03,960
Absolutely not.
763
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:13,400
I am going. I am going.
764
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,160
Unusual name, Bliss.
765
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:31,120
Yes, I’ve had my fair
share of ribbing over the years.
766
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,320
My father even more so.
767
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,960
Minister Bliss, can you imagine.
768
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:37,760
He’s a Methodist.
769
00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:40,200
Yes, so Miss Bliss said.
770
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,400
Diana wants
to be a Theater Producer.
771
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,080
I’m sure Miss Bliss
can speak for herself.
772
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,600
Do you like
the theater, Mrs. Bond?
773
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:51,160
Please,
774
00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:52,240
call me Kathleen.
775
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,360
I don’t get out very often,
776
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,560
especially since
my husband passed.
777
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,480
Well perhaps
we could go together.
778
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:02,800
Shall I arrange some tickets?
779
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,640
I’d like that very much.
780
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:23,480
Thank you, Dear.
781
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:24,760
Here we go.
782
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,560
Now I will give you
the full tour in time but
783
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,080
for now this is
the formal dining room.
784
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,080
Not that we ever
do anything really formal.
785
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:35,080
And this is the living area.
786
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,840
Eileen did all
the interior design.
787
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,960
Mm she certainly
likes her bright colors.
788
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,280
I don’t know why
you need such a big house?
789
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,760
Who are you expecting?
The Queen?
790
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:45,560
-You never know, Mother.
791
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,040
Hi Grandma!
792
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,840
Have you been
out dressed like that?
793
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,000
It’s the fashion.
794
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:52,080
Maybe at the mall.
795
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,000
That’s what they
are all wearing now, Mrs. Bond.
796
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,360
I think you would benefit
from some cultural pursuits.
797
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,120
Would you like
to come to the theater with me?
798
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,120
Um, sure,
799
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:04,600
why not?
800
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:05,840
Just the two of us?
801
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,600
And my friend, Diana Bliss.
802
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:09,280
Lovely woman.
803
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,400
You took her
to meet your mother?
804
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,080
Oh bloody hell, Alan.
805
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,320
She was in the car.
806
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,320
I was dropping her home after
our flight Mother invited her in
807
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,720
There’s nothing going on.
808
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,000
You are so full of it.
Do you think I’m an idiot?
809
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,120
She’s the air-hostess.
810
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,320
On our jet.
811
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,840
You flaunt her in front of me
and then act like it’s nothing.
812
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,160
What are you doing?
813
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,480
You’ve never taken your tarts
to meet your mother before.
814
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:36,560
Don’t call her that.
815
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,720
Ah, you don’t like me
calling your tart a tart?
816
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,240
That’s right.
She’s a nice woman.
817
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,680
She is well brought up,
respectful.
818
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,280
Respectfully cursing my husband.
819
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:45,840
I told you,
she’s not like that.
820
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,920
Oh well if she’s so wonderful
what're you doing married to me?
821
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,040
If you want me,
I’ll be in another continent.
822
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:10,960
You can’t
afford a divorce right now.
823
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,480
It’d send you broke.
824
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:14,240
There must be
something I can sell off.
825
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,920
Everything is tied up in trusts
and subsidiary companies.
826
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:19,920
Plus, Alan,
827
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,320
equity is collateralized against
loans in Bond Corp and Dallhold.
828
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,280
She’s not getting
rich while I go under.
829
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,160
She had nothing
before she met me,
830
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:28,400
nothing!
831
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,080
If we weren’t
mounting another Cup campaign
832
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,880
and expanding into beer then...
833
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:35,200
-look,
834
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,480
there’s lot of cash right there
could be freed up to pay Eileen.
835
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:40,440
It’s not an option.
836
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:41,520
We’re going ahead with both.
837
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,120
Then perhaps you should think
about making it up with her.
838
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,120
-Phone call for you, Mrs. Bond.
839
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:57,640
Hello.
840
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,960
Oh, Susanne darling you
are going to have to slow down
841
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,080
because I am
in full relaxation mode.
842
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:07,920
No I am not coming back.
843
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,000
Did that curse
put you up to this?
844
00:45:13,240 --> 00:45:15,280
I don’t care
how important it is,
845
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:16,400
I’m not doing it.
846
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,240
You tell your father,
are you listening?
847
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,800
You tell your father he can
go and stick it up his...
848
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,840
Eileen's not
picking me up. She's ah...
849
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,760
overseas doing a bit of shopping
I’d imagine. You know how it is.
850
00:45:35,720 --> 00:45:37,480
I’ll probably just
see the credit card bill.
851
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:38,600
Alan Bond?
852
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,280
Do you know who I am?
853
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:43,520
That’s right,
854
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,360
I’m Roger Climpson
855
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,280
and "This is Your Life".
856
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,440
Really?
Are you serious?
857
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,480
From humble beginnings,
858
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,800
Alan Bond became
one of Australia’s richest men
859
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,000
and is hoping to sail
into the history books.
860
00:46:08,240 --> 00:46:10,600
I’m surprised you could tear
yourself away from your holiday.
861
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:12,400
Thanks, Love.
862
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:13,880
I didn’t want to.
863
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,840
The TV bigwigs think a happy
family'll help the Cup Challenge
864
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:19,440
What are you implying?
865
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:21,240
I’m not implying anything.
866
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:22,840
It’s a fact this
network is a major sponsor
867
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,160
for the America’s Cup.
868
00:46:25,240 --> 00:46:26,840
That’s not why
my son's being honored.
869
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,600
He deserves every accolade.
870
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,880
Unlike some, he’s worked
very hard for everything he has.
871
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:34,680
And here they are,
872
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:36,080
your family.
873
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,280
Eileen,
hold on Ma'am. Go.
874
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,400
Well Eileen, what’s it like
being married to Alan?
875
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:52,920
Well we’ve had
our ups and downs.
876
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,760
-Hasn't been boring.
877
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,640
-Would you care to elaborate?
-No, no, no.
878
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,640
Eileen, I just wanted
to thank you for being here.
879
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,400
I know it took
a lot of convincing.
880
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,040
Look this really
is the Eileen Bond story
881
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,480
as much as it is mine.
882
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,320
As much about the
America’s Cup Challenge you mean
883
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,720
I swear I had no idea
it was going to happen.
884
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,800
And no,
Miss Bliss, in the parade?
885
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:20,880
I guess mistresses don’t count.
886
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:21,960
Eileen, please.
887
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,200
Are we getting a divorce?
888
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:24,960
I hope not.
889
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,720
Really? Hm.
890
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,960
There’s no one else
I want to be married to.
891
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:31,800
You’ve been
with me through all of it.
892
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:33,960
We’re good together, Eileen.
893
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:35,200
We have history.
894
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:40,960
I do love you.
895
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:43,760
Do you?
896
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:45,400
Please,
897
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,880
I will be a better
husband I promise.
898
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:50,720
I know it’s going
to take a lot of work,
899
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,000
but you know,
900
00:47:52,720 --> 00:47:54,040
no one ever
accused old A. B.
901
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:55,920
of not rolling up his
sleeves and having a go.
902
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:08,080
That is the most unromantic
thing I’ve ever heard, Alan.
903
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,040
-It was, wasn’t it?
-Terrible.
904
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,400
-What do you say?
905
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,040
Beer.
906
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:39,520
Australia's favorite drink.
907
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,440
Come rain or shine,
908
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:42,920
wedding or funeral,
909
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:44,960
watching the
game with your mates...
910
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,320
Or Anzac day, very important.
911
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:48,640
Oh yeah, good one.
912
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:50,480
Diggers.
913
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:52,560
Wedding or funeral.
914
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,160
Watching the game
with your mates.
915
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,480
Or marching with
The Diggers on Anzac Day.
916
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,920
The amber liquid always flows.
917
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,440
95% of the
West Australian beer marketplace
918
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,040
is monopolized
by the one brewery.
919
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:05,520
Swan.
920
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,080
Buy Swan,
921
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:08,680
and we will have a cash cow
922
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,200
to fund Bond Corp
investments into the future.
923
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,200
When do you mention the cost?
924
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,680
Peter will just jump in and ask.
925
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,400
Thanks, Pet.
How much you need?
926
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:18,960
160 Million.
927
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,960
-160 million dollars?
-Yes Peter.
928
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,200
He's not going to like that.
929
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:28,240
We can't raise 160 million.
Let alone the takeover laws.
930
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,920
-But that won't stop you.
-Let me worry about the money.
931
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,080
As soon as it's announced,
932
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:33,960
the share price
will go through the roof.
933
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,760
We'll be biting off
more than we can chew.
934
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,800
If you don't bite off
more than you can chew.
935
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,560
How will you ever know how
much you can fit in your mouth?
936
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:43,880
The financing
of this one was a little...
937
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,120
unconventional.
938
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:46,920
I needed to find bankers
939
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,000
more on my wavelength.
940
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,240
Oh no please no. I can't.
941
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,800
If I eat any more you'll have to
rub my belly for good luck.
942
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,280
Your friend is a funny man.
943
00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:05,120
Now gentlemen,
I think you know why I'm here.
944
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,600
We like the way
you think big, Alan.
945
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,520
160 million dollars
is big thinking.
946
00:50:09,720 --> 00:50:10,720
But it won't be enough.
947
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:12,800
Once the takeover is announced,
948
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,200
the share price will skyrocket.
949
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:15,680
Which is why
I plan to move quickly.
950
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:17,200
It won't be quick enough,
951
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:18,320
even for you, Alan.
952
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,120
What if we don't
announce the takeover?
953
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:24,360
Your laws require it.
954
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,240
Not if I buy the company myself.
955
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:30,320
A sale to an individual
isn't subject to takeover laws.
956
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:31,960
I buy it in my name,
957
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,560
then on-sell it to Bond Corp.
958
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:35,920
As a sale from an individual,
959
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,000
it isn't subject to either.
960
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,000
No one will know
about it until the deal is done.
961
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:49,680
Oh yeah!
962
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,280
That's what I like to hear.
963
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:58,600
In a bold takeover move
964
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,000
that's left the business
world and shareholders dazed
965
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,640
Bond Corporation
now owns 100% of Swan Brewery.
966
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,680
A move that has
left pundits wondering,
967
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,320
is this all part of Alan Bond's
next America's Cup Challenge?
968
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:12,800
It was my fourth cup challenge.
969
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:14,800
This time we
needed something new.
970
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,360
I had the best team in
the world working for me
971
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,240
including boat designer,
Ben Lexcen.
972
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:21,400
Man's a genius.
973
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:23,520
Righto Beno,
what have you got for us?
974
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,520
-What's the secret weapon?
-What do you think that is?
975
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:27,960
Well that,
that's on upside down isn't it?
976
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:29,320
Of course bloody not!
977
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,040
It's got wings.
It's a winged keel.
978
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:33,200
Is it fast?
979
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:34,480
Fast?
980
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,520
Mate we're going
to make you racing history.
981
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,120
We're not just going
to win the America's Cup,
982
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,640
we're going
to win by bloody miles.
983
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,640
We're going to win some
of these races by 20 minutes.
984
00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:47,240
-Bull curse.
985
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:48,440
Is it legal?
986
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,040
Well what do you think?
987
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,920
-I'm just asking.
-And I'm just telling,
988
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,400
Of course it bloody is.
989
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:57,160
You listen to me Beno,
990
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,080
there's no greater
advantage in any contest
991
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:01,640
than a secret weapon,
992
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,440
real or psychological.
993
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,080
And the America's Cup is the
biggest mind curse of them all.
994
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:07,840
Nobody can see this.
I want a guard on that door.
995
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,560
We're in Holland.
You don't need a guard.
996
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,000
Yes Beno,
we need a guard on that door.
997
00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:14,240
Maybe two.
998
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:18,520
Long before the
first luff or puff of wind sea,
999
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:19,600
for months in fact,
1000
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:20,720
the New York Yacht Club
1001
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,440
has been fighting
Alan Bond and his boys on shore.
1002
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,160
Trying to get
Australia II disqualified.
1003
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:27,360
Mr. Bond says
1004
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,760
it’s because they know
Australia II is too fast.
1005
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,000
Meet the commodores
of the New York Yacht Club.
1006
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:35,840
Some of them at least.
1007
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,920
These commodores rule the waves,
1008
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,760
but according to Alan Bond
1009
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,400
they're also
prepared to wave the rules.
1010
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,800
Well I think become an
obsession one or two individuals
1011
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,920
to hold this cup at any cost.
1012
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,640
I can't remember
any event in the world
1013
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,320
where anyone would try to
1014
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:53,640
remove an opponent
1015
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,480
before they even
get to be an opponent.
1016
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,160
Okay. I want guards
here day and night.
1017
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,040
Better get
a couple of divers too.
1018
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,480
You think they are going to try
and take photographs underwater?
1019
00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:05,320
I wouldn't put
anything past them.
1020
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,520
Besides if they didn't want to
before they gonna want to now.
1021
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:09,640
You're gonna taunt them into it?
1022
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,160
I need the public
behind us Jonesy.
1023
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:14,800
Fuel the passion.
1024
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:16,680
What better way
than to create an enemy?
1025
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,080
Sure,
1026
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:19,960
so long as that enemy
doesn't bite us on the bum.
1027
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,480
There were
headlines in Dutch newspapers
1028
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:24,880
claiming that they
had designed a keel
1029
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:27,280
and once again
our fiduciary responsibility
1030
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,400
made it absolutely
necessary that we pursue that.
1031
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,920
We weren't trying to question
any honesty or integrity,
1032
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:34,480
we were just
trying to find facts.
1033
00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:36,240
Can you believe these curses?
1034
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:37,960
They're saying
the winged keel isn't legal.
1035
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:39,720
-Calm down, Beno.
1036
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,800
Are you sure?
1037
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,200
How many times
have I got to tell you?
1038
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,880
I told you in Holland!
Of course I'm bloody sure!
1039
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:45,960
Alright!
1040
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:47,240
They're also saying
the Dutch designed it.
1041
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:48,840
Well they did bloody not.
1042
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,440
Get a hold of yourself Beno.
1043
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,840
I'm not lying and I don't
like being called a cheat!
1044
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,720
I know.
All right. I know.
1045
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:58,720
This is what we wanted.
1046
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:01,520
They're scared.
We've got them running scared.
1047
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:03,400
Good.
1048
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,440
There are standards in any
society that get stretched.
1049
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:08,880
You saw it with Watergate
1050
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,520
and let's call this one Keelgate
1051
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:13,400
because
it's difficult to understand
1052
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,080
why they need
to go to such lengths to win.
1053
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:18,800
-Just a copy mate.
-Yup.
1054
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:20,840
-How are you going mate?
-Good, yourself?
1055
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Fantastic.
1056
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,120
We knew
those curses, the Yanks,
1057
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,120
would do anything
to get a look at this keel.
1058
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:28,560
We had to be
vigilant at all times.
1059
00:54:29,240 --> 00:54:30,840
Nothing could be left to chance.
1060
00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:32,720
One slip up
1061
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:33,920
and we were history.
1062
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:35,560
-Just that.
-75 cents.
1063
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:37,360
-Keep the change.
-Oh thank you.
1064
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,080
-See you later.
-See you.
1065
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,200
Yeah that right I left my
plans on your photocopy machine.
1066
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:49,280
Now look,
1067
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:50,440
do me a favor,
1068
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:52,520
don't let anyone see them, okay?
1069
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,080
They're really important.
1070
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:55,440
I'll be
right down to pick them up.
1071
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,560
Yeah, sure mate.
Not a problem.
1072
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:03,920
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
1073
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:07,960
Well gentlemen,
1074
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,280
I present to you,
1075
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:12,560
the keel.
1076
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:19,480
Curses!
1077
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,120
What are you blokes doing?
1078
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:29,600
He is into them already.
1079
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:31,400
What is
going on with the sail?
1080
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:32,720
Have you told
these fellas to do this?
1081
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:34,200
Tarps front and back?
1082
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:35,760
Stop these curses
from having a look.
1083
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:37,320
These guys will yeah.
1084
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:38,800
-She is good. I think it’s good.
-Hang on what’s that?
1085
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:40,680
What the bloody hell?
1086
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,400
I told you, Chris get in there!
1087
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:43,800
There is a bloody
diver in there mate.
1088
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,840
Get in there now.
1089
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:51,960
Get a hold of him!
Bring him out!
1090
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:53,760
Get him Chris!
1091
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:55,840
Can you believe this curse?
1092
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:57,680
Get that camera off him!
1093
00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:58,760
Get it off him!
1094
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:00,640
Get it back.
1095
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:01,760
The New York Yacht Club,
1096
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,280
are threatening
to cancel the race
1097
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:05,200
because they’re
scared we’re going to win.
1098
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:07,080
So I say to them,
1099
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,280
Australia II will be at the
starting line no matter what.
1100
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,240
And so will NBC, CBS,
1101
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,240
and every other
television network.
1102
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,680
They’ll all get to see
what a bunch of cowards
1103
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:19,600
the
New York Yacht Club really are.
1104
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,040
I mean so disgusted are we,
1105
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:23,880
with this dirty tricks campaign
1106
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:25,440
that we are going to protest
1107
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:27,800
to the
International Yacht Racing Union
1108
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,880
under Section 51
of the Rules of Conduct.
1109
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:32,520
Thank you.
1110
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:36,480
Section 51?
1111
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:38,320
I’ve never heard of it.
1112
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:39,400
That’s because I made it up.
1113
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:41,200
Sounded bloody
good, though, didn’t it?
1114
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,240
Waging war with America
isn’t good for the bank balance.
1115
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,240
But the people they loved me.
1116
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:51,320
It was those curses in the US
banks who wouldn’t take my calls
1117
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,440
...what the interest payments
look like on 160 million dollars
1118
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:56,520
I’m the one paying it.
1119
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:57,680
You won’t believe
the little shop I just found.
1120
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,320
-Hello!
-Milan and Paris.
1121
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,720
Look I need to speak
to someone can make a decision.
1122
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:05,600
Mr. Bond.
1123
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:07,680
Alan Bond.
1124
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:10,320
-Ah, curse!
1125
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:12,600
That sounded like it went well.
1126
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:17,640
I have to go out.
1127
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:29,040
-Nice to see you too darling.
1128
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:47,880
I gotta get to Ted Turner’s.
1129
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:52,560
I’d love to take you darling,
1130
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,640
but there’ll
be cameras swarming everywhere.
1131
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:05,520
You know what he’s like.
1132
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,240
The media love him almost
as much as he loves himself.
1133
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:10,920
You talking about Ted or Alan?
1134
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:36,760
Welcome
to Newport, Rhode Island
1135
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,640
for race one of the
best of seven final series
1136
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:41,640
of the 1983 America’s Cup.
1137
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:43,160
Alan Bond’s, Australia II,
1138
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,280
is seen as the biggest
threat to the American dominance
1139
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,680
in the 132-year
history of the race.
1140
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:51,360
And they’re racing.
1141
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:54,520
Australia II
has missed the start
1142
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,000
and seems to be suffering
some sort of gear problem.
1143
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,320
From that last tack it’s
clear it’s a steering issue.
1144
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,440
This is bad news
for the Australians.
1145
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:05,840
First blood to the USA.
1146
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:10,280
Disaster for Australia II.
1147
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,040
They will need
to change that sail
1148
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,160
and make up the
time in the downward leg.
1149
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,120
Liberty finishes
1 minute and 13 seconds ahead.
1150
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,640
Australia II has found a
terrific wind shift in favor.
1151
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,000
She’s opening a strong
lead over the American boat
1152
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:29,520
as they approach
the weather mark.
1153
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:33,480
And there it is.
1154
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:37,480
Australia II has won the
third race by a huge margin.
1155
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,880
They will be jumping
for joy back home right now.
1156
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:41,960
Just amazing.
1157
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:43,760
Race 4.
1158
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,440
You can see the Americans
are extending their lead here.
1159
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,520
Liberty is racing
high in the water.
1160
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:49,640
Tacking for speed.
1161
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,760
It looks all over
for Australia II.
1162
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:54,840
And the
fourth race goes to Liberty.
1163
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,320
They need to only
win one more race
1164
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,440
and they will
retain the coveted trophy.
1165
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:03,520
Alan we’ve been more
than generous with you mate,
1166
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,360
but the interest payments on
your loans are past overdue,
1167
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:07,440
they’re in default.
1168
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:09,600
This is the most
important race of the century
1169
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,600
and all you care about
is getting your money.
1170
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,680
-Just wait ‘til we win!
-Yeah well what if you don’t?
1171
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,960
I’ll give you a knife and you
can stick me like a pig
1172
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:17,080
and bleed me dry.
1173
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:18,680
Hi love.
1174
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:25,720
Here’s to you Alan!
1175
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,120
Only three more to win!
1176
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,600
Or one to lose!
Make it today will you.
1177
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:34,200
The fiery red-head.
1178
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:38,600
You’ve won one race
so you’re in the history books,
1179
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:41,760
the last page is still open.
1180
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,520
If you really want to be
remembered now is your chance.
1181
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,480
We’ve fought and we’ve battled,
1182
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,320
just like they did at Gallipoli.
1183
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,040
-But we lost at Gallipoli.
-Hush.
1184
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:52,480
So get out there
1185
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,320
and win some bloody races!
1186
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,080
I’ve given you a boat
that’s capable of winning
1187
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:58,520
but you keep cocking it up.
1188
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,080
You have breakdowns,
you stuff up the tactics.
1189
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:02,720
So it’s not the boat any more,
1190
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,520
alright it’s not me anymore.
1191
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,120
It’s you guys
and you guys alone.
1192
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:09,400
It’s up to you now.
1193
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,280
You heard him. Let’s go.
1194
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,920
Race five and the
Aussies have come out fighting,
1195
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:30,840
taking the lead and winning
by 1 minute 47 seconds.
1196
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:37,640
Race six and the Australians
are just too strong for Liberty.
1197
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:43,000
Australia II crosses line 3
minutes and 25 seconds in front.
1198
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,480
In the end it has
been the easiest of victories
1199
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:49,640
for the Australian team.
1200
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:56,720
The Australians have
staged an astonishing come back
1201
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,360
to level
the series at 3 to 3.
1202
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,240
Can Australia II pull off the
impossible and win final race?
1203
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:23,440
There's not a lot I can say.
1204
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:26,640
There is one more race.
1205
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:28,720
Alright that's it.
1206
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,080
It all comes down
1207
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:32,680
to this.
1208
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:35,280
You know the drill.
1209
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,360
Australia wants you to win.
1210
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:41,240
I want you to win.
1211
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:43,280
Do you want to win?
1212
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:46,640
-Well let's do it!
1213
01:02:58,200 --> 01:02:59,200
Hello.
1214
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,080
Oh,
Bob doll, how are you?
1215
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,200
Oh yes, yes, I'll just
get him for you. Hold on a tick.
1216
01:03:06,840 --> 01:03:07,840
Alan?
1217
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:11,920
Alan?
1218
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,080
Quick.
1219
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:15,600
-Who is it?
-Bob.
1220
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:17,360
-Hawke?
1221
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:20,840
Prime Minister?
1222
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,160
Yeah, you and me both.
1223
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:27,440
Well,
put one on ice for me.
1224
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,040
All right. Okay mate.
1225
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:36,720
Just wanted to wish us luck.
1226
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:39,520
Said all
of Australia was behind us.
1227
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:44,280
Across Australia
1228
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:45,520
through 148 stations,
1229
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,200
this is the
Today's Show satellite coverage
1230
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,080
of the seventh race
in the 1983 America's Cup.
1231
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:52,160
Never before
1232
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:53,960
have the
American's come so close
1233
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:55,360
to parting with the trophy.
1234
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:57,920
Light winds of around
20 knots greet the yachts
1235
01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:59,960
as they nervously
approach the starting line.
1236
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,680
Let's cross across the
continent from Sydney to Perth.
1237
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,880
Well things are a little tense
here at Royal Perth Yacht Club.
1238
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,320
And Bertrand has
made his first tactical error.
1239
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,720
The Americans have an
eight second lead at the start.
1240
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,960
Curse! Curse!
Bloody hell, Bertrand!
1241
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,080
Australia II is trying
to recover from its bad start
1242
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,000
but Liberty leads around
its first marker by 29 seconds.
1243
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,600
Dennis Carter is one of the
hardest men to beat at any time
1244
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,000
let alone when he's in front.
1245
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:31,120
Things are most
certainly looking good
1246
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:32,600
for the defending champion.
1247
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,120
Traumatic wind
shifts are happening.
1248
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,080
And the resulting tacking
duels are fierce and close.
1249
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:53,320
At the second marker
Liberty has increased
1250
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,880
its lead by 45 seconds
and it’s sailing confidently.
1251
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:02,920
I can't bear to watch.
1252
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,800
-Curse it!
-Connor is prevailing
1253
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:14,360
and despite the
heroics of the brave challenger
1254
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,000
it looks almost certain
that the America's Cup will stay
1255
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,080
in the hands of
the New York Yacht Club
1256
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:21,600
and... the USA.
1257
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,440
Well we gave
it a good crack, Beno.
1258
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:31,760
We'll come
back again next time.
1259
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:35,840
Not me,
I'll be dead by then.
1260
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,800
Ah,
here you go again, Mr. Cheery.
1261
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,200
What is it with you and
your death premonitions?
1262
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:43,000
Not that it matters now.
1263
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,000
My boat just wasn't fast enough.
1264
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:46,120
It's not your boat.
1265
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:47,960
Your boat is as
good as I've ever seen.
1266
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:50,880
Anyway.
1267
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:54,320
Alan, quick!
1268
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,000
They're not staying with them.
1269
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:57,640
See that is extraordinary right?
1270
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,400
One minute you have
almost virtually written her off
1271
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:01,960
and the next minute
1272
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:03,040
there they are together
1273
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,120
and she is right
back in the race.
1274
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,000
Alan!
look, look, look!
1275
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:10,680
Australia II has taken
a different course to Liberty.
1276
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,280
And Connor hasn't covered them.
1277
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:14,920
This is unbelievable,
1278
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,920
a terrible tactical
mistake by the Americans.
1279
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:19,800
Connor is driving
back to take the position.
1280
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,680
Australia is right
back in this race.
1281
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,880
It has paid off
and it has done well.
1282
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,040
Yes!
He's in front mate.
1283
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:30,680
Go!
Cover off!
1284
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:32,720
Here they come
and Australia is in front.
1285
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:34,720
Australia is in front.
1286
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,880
Keep tacking mate, keep tacking.
1287
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:38,640
In goes Connor.
1288
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,480
The Australian boat
will counter almost immediately.
1289
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:43,760
We're on the last leg
1290
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,000
and Australia II
is maintaining its lead.
1291
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,520
Tack after grueling tack
1292
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,200
Connor seems to be throwing
everything at the Aussies
1293
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:57,760
to try and close
the distance on Australia
1294
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,680
who are
responding magnificently.
1295
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,760
Ladies and gentlemen
you are witnessing history.
1296
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,600
Australia II
had to win the last three races
1297
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,640
to achieve the unbelievable
1298
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:12,840
and achieve it they will.
1299
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:20,280
Come on!
Go!
1300
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,680
- Go!
1301
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:39,000
The impossible
dream has finally come true
1302
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:42,840
after 132 years,
Alan Bond's yacht Australia II
1303
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:44,600
has won the America's Cup
1304
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,800
by a fighting 4-3 margin
1305
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:48,600
in the best of seven series.
1306
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:50,720
After twenty hours of racing...
1307
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:52,520
Winner takes all, do or die.
1308
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,360
There's no tomorrow
without The America's Cup.
1309
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:56,720
As of this afternoon
it belongs to Australia.
1310
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:00,200
Australia II has done what no
other yacht been able to do...
1311
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:01,840
Australia II has done it.
1312
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,120
I tell you what
any boss who sacks anyone
1313
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:13,280
for not turning
up today is a bum.
1314
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:25,800
Hey!
1315
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:47,920
There it was.
1316
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:50,160
Our moment of glory.
1317
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:52,760
And do you think the
banks took my calls?
1318
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,080
Too bloody right, they did.
1319
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,880
I was the
unofficial King of Australia.
1320
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,040
Now it was time
to take on the world.
