# One fine day

# A man came to town

# A motorcycle bird

# Who is never comin' down

# He'll take that chance

# And make that leap

# He's a man with a dream

# And a promise to keep

# And there's nothin' too high #

# And there's nothin' too steep #

# When he meets that crowd

Hey.

Hey, Pete.

Evel.

Hi, Pete. How you doing?

I'm just fine, Evel,
but my name's Dan.

Pete and I switched beds.

You're really here.

Said I'd be.

I told those guys
you wouldn't forget.

I was just held up
for a little while.

I brought you something.

Here.

Gee, thanks.

Don't wreck them both today.

Don't worry.

I'm going to see
the rest of the kids.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, Pete.

Hey, look.

Evel!

Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Back off, little guy.

Quiet, you guys.

Sorry. Forgot
about your accident.

How you feeling?

How do I look?

Super.

That's me, super Evel.

How's everything?

Fine. How you doing?

Evel!

Oh, Evel.

You guys, Evel.

Evel!
Shh! Wow!

Hey, how you doing?
What's going on?

How you doing?

Look what I brought you.

Oh, all right!
Man!

Oh, wow.

For all of you.

Evel, thank you!

Evel, Evel, look.
Look at me.

When I saw you walk away
from that crash in England,

I figured I could do it, too.

You're the reason
I'm walking, Evel.

You're the reason.

Oh, Wally, that's great.

I knew you could do it.

I'm so proud of you.

So proud.

Thanks.

What the devil...

Knievel.

Sister Charity.

You haven't changed a bit.

You look just as pretty
as a picture.

None of your blarney.

What do you mean by coming here

in the middle of the night,

waking these children
out of a sound sleep,

arriving uninvited and unannounced?

Sister, I promised I'd be here.

Every one of you,

back into your beds instantly,

and you, Mr. Knievel,

I'd like a little word with you.

See you later, Evel.

Bye, Evel.

Darn you, Evel.

You could have waited
till tomorrow.

Tomorrow would be too late.

I have to be in Los Angeles.

Well, in that case, I forgive you.

I didn't forget
your favorite fudge.

I picked it up in New York.

Oh, you're wicked.

You know I'll get fat.

Don't worry.
Nobody will notice.

Thank you, brother Evel.

Thank you, sister Charity.

Evel?

God bless.

Mr. Andrews,
we can't put seats on the infield.

It will block the north exit.

Are you blind?

We've got an exit right there.

If there's an emergency,

people need more than one way out.

You were hired to put up seats.

Do it, or I'll get someone else.

Get lost.

Hiya, pal.

Hiya, pal.

Hey!

You're through trying
to get Evel killed.

What are you talking about?

Evel needs more room.

There were bleacher seats

on the field last jump.

What's wrong with you?

Evel is my pal, too.

Sure. As long as he fills your
pockets with blood money.

Look, I'll give you odds

that you're going to
have seats on the infield.

If you do, I'll make kindling wood

out of them and you.

Get your paws off me.

The stadium owner sold
those tickets, not me.

Liar.
I checked it out.

Will.
Ben, I'm sorry.

Yeah. Sorry. Keep
that gorilla off me,

or I'll get somebody
that'll handle it for me.

What's wrong with you?

Now you're picking fights.

You don't know what happened.

It doesn't matter.

You can't straighten
it out out here.

There's work to do.

Come on.
Let's get with it.

O.K.,
I'll go see what's in the treasure chest

for the kids.

Evel!
Evel!

Evel!
Evel!

Can I have your autograph?

Sorry for the delay.

I was out late last night.

What's your comment
on that big jump

Jessie Hammond made in tampa?

Jessie who?

People think Jessie's
pushing you hard

for the number one spot.

Jessie's a fine kid
and a good jumper,

but if you're not Knievel,

you're not number one, right?

Right! Right!
Right! Right!

Mr. Knievel,
can I tell you what to write?

I've known what to write
to pretty girls

ever since I was in kindergarten.

Wow, that's some ring.
Is that a diamond?

No. Those aren't diamonds.

What are they?

Portable television.
Tune it to your favorite channel.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute, folks.

I'll be right back.

Thanks for, uh,
busting in like this

and taking away my play.

Don't mention it.
It was easy.

You must dig making enemies, miss.

Who? Me?

And, uh, I'm no miss.

Then you're a Mrs., and
you dig making enemies.

Wrong again. It's Ms.

M-s.

Oh, that makes you one of them.

That makes you one of those.

I'm just a man doing my own thing.

Are you, uh, a woman or a Ms.?

Mr. Knievel, chances
are you'll never know.

What makes you think
I'd like to find out?

You take every edge you can get.

From what I've seen of
the local competition,

I think I started here
with an edge.

Actually, you might call it a
downright unfair advantage.

You're one of the biggest
blowhards I've ever heard.

Takes one to know one.

Wait a minute.

Now I know.

I said I was out late last night.

You're Kate Morgan,
the fearless photographer.

So they sent the chump
out to shoot the champ.

You are going to see
a great jump, honey.

Miss...

Or should I say, Ms.

Know what?
You're still wrong.

I'm not here to shoot you jumping.

My editors wouldn't
waste film on that.

My assignment is to shoot you

in case this is your last jump.

I'm not going to quit.

I didn't mean that.

Boy, you're real cute, aren't you?

O.K., kids,
let's get back

to what we were doing.

Sign my autograph book.

Is that the same bike

you're using in the big jump?

Same one.

Where's your hometown?

Montana, honey.

When will you fly over
the canyon again?

I never lost anything there.

I won't go back.

When were you first called Evel?

I was such a good little boy,

they nicknamed me Evel.

Excuse me for a minute.

Here comes my caddie.

We've got business to do.

We'll be right back.

Excuse us.

Kids, watch out a minute, will you?

Give us a statement.

I will when I come out.

Just keep printing the papers.

Will's reached the end of the line.

We travel together.
We've a long way to go.

Not with him.
He's a drunk.

Drop him before he gets you killed.

I'll never be harmed
on account of will.

He'll finish you without trying,

him and a bottle.

Ben, the clock stopped
for him 10 long years ago,

but up until then,

he was the greatest
motorcycle jumper in the world.

Now he's the greatest
boozer in the world.

You still don't understand.

Everything that I know
that guy taught me.

When I'm out jumping,

the crowd should cheer
him as well as me.

Ha.

What's the count?

42,500...

Half your advance.

With the same guarantee
you asked for.

You've got it.

You're a little short, aren't you?

Short? Heh heh.

Count it yourself.
I counted it twice.

No. It's all there.

You owe me money

for the bleacher seats
you sold at the last jump.

What is this, judgment day?

That's over right now.

I am good and sick and tired

of having rocks thrown at me.

I've taken all I'm going
to take from this outfit.

First your falling-down,
boozehound buddy

braces me off and now you.

Back off! You're not
my judge and jury!

I didn't kill anyone!

So you didn't kill anybody,

but you stole from me...

Promoter.

All right.

You want out?

Get out!

Right now.

I didn't say anything about out.

I... I...

I don't want out.
No, sir.

I don't want out.

Look, look, we got a jump.

We're all ready.
We're all set.

Look, I got no complaints, Evel.

No complaints at all.

I swear I'm happy.

I'm happy.

Yeah. O.K., happy man.

Make me happy.

Pay me what you owe me.

No pay...

No Evel.

O.K. O.K., all you
got to do is...

All you got to do
is ask. That's all.

Here.

Here you are.

Here. 1, 2, 3...

It wasn't a sellout, you know?

Your friend Evel Knievel
has made a deal

for another record-making jump

at another record-making price,

$85,000.

Yeah. I saw the papers,
Mr. Millard.

Hey, Jessie,
I'm the number one sports promoter.

You stick with me,

I'll make you the number
one bike jumper.

What, is that a promise?

That's a contract.

Good. I like that.

Come here.

Now, you start tonight.

That's the beginning.

We go from there.

All right.
It's as good as done.

How'd you make out?

Here are the blow-ups.

Sit down.

Does this Jessie know
anything about our plans?

About his part of the plans,

helping us get Evel to Mexico.

I'm still against him
making our deal with Knievel.

He double-crossed Evel once.

They'll kick his butt out.

No. I've studied Knievel.

He's a big man.
He doesn't hold a grudge.

He forgives and forgets.

Jessie was once his best friend.

I hope you're right.

There's a lot riding on this.

More than a lot.
We've got everything.

What about the bikes?

Well, basically, they're
standard harleys.

They've made a few
minor gearing changes,

but nothing we can't handle.

What about the truck?

Well, they've got gold-leaf
lettering here, uh...

Custom doors, custom windows,

special wheel covers.

The big problem's
the interior match-up.

I'm taking care
of that problem tonight.

What's our total investment so far?

Well, uh, this is the easy part.

50,000, give or take a few dollars.

The big money is in
paying for the merchandise...

$3,600,000.

It's a little high.

So I spent a little more
than I figured,

I make a little more
than I figured.

How about the trailer?

It should be here any time.

Barton's bringing it in.

Heh heh heh.

I guess neither of us has changed.

I'd have bet you'd be out here.

Just doing my job.
Evel depends on me.

Something you wouldn't know about...
Dependability.

You mean when Evel and
I were touring and I split?

The word is quit.

Oh, come on. I was new,
just starting out.

I had a better offer.

It was a long time ago.

Not for me. It was
just like yesterday.

Then we could drink to tomorrow.

What do you say?

Bet you still keep it
in the same place.

Did you ever think
of buying a bottle?

Yeah, but if I did,

what would you have
to bitch at me for?

Everything.

Ahh!

Oh, boy.

Oh, that sure hit the spot.

Hey, give me some of that.

Sure.

There you go, pal.

Hey, where's Evel?

Just follow the crowds, junior.

Just follow the crowds.

See you, Will.

Will.

Will?

For god's sakes,

when are you going to
stop trying to kill yourself?

The bikes are ready.

Yeah, but how about you?

Look at you.
You're trying to destroy yourself.

Here's the proof.

I won't let you commit
suicide around me.

Hey, Evel!

Ya-hoo.

Whoo!

Jessie.

Hey, there, Evel.

Why are you here?

I thought you were down
in Florida doing great.

I tied into something better here.

That's why I came to talk to you.

Sure.

I'll be around.

Do me a favor.

Let me borrow that helmet.

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing out here today?

Just messing around.

For a bike story,

you ought to know more.

Ever ridden one of these?

No.

Let's go for a ride.

No, thank you.

I have equipment to check out.

You're, uh, chicken, huh?

You O.K.?

That was sweet.

Sweet?

I guess the exciting part
is the jump, huh?

Dad?

Dad?

I'm Tommy.

Your son.

Where the hell did you come from?

I'm through with school.

I graduated.

Graduated?

From what, kindergarten?

What do you mean you graduated?

Our school only goes up
to the sixth grade.

I'm... I'm ready
for junior high now.

Oh, well,
you still haven't answered my question.

What the hell are you doing here?

Shouldn't you be in summer
camp or somewhere?

The school wrote you a letter

asking about the summer,
but you never wrote back.

Oh, well, I move around a lot.

Sometimes, letters get lost.

So maybe I didn't
get no letter, huh?

I'm glad to meet you.

Well, y-y-you'll get all messed up.

You know, I work for a living.

Please?

Well, you're not going
to like it around here,

no breakfast in bed.

We make our own beds in school.

Here.

What's that?

Scrapbook.

Newspaper clippings.

Oh, well, Evel likes
to read about himself.

They're about you.

Here's where
you jumped in New York,

and that's where you
were number one in Texas.

I've been collecting
things about you

all my life, sir.

Well, forget it like I did.

It's ancient history.

Hey... you must be Tommy.

I recognize you from your pictures.

Boy, it's great to see you.

Welcome aboard
the s.S. Knievel.

Glad to meet you,
Mr. Knievel.

Hey, Evel to you, pal.

What a surprise.

Your dad didn't tell me
you were coming.

Come on, Will.
Let's show Tommy around.

No, thanks.
I've got work to do.

Go ahead.

Tommy, your dad takes great
care of these bikes for me.

He's the best in the world at it.

That helps take care
of my life, too.

You want to see my van?

I think you'll like it.

I've liked it since I read about it,
Mr. Knievel...

I mean, Evel.

Boy, this is going to be
a great summer, Tommy.

We're all going to be together now.

You know what this is?

What's this,

some of the merchandise we got?

That's a sample.

It would appear
to be the real thing.

You better believe it.

Now don't forget, Jessie,

when this is over,

you'll be number one biker

and able to afford
all of your pleasures,

great and small.

Yes, sir,
Mr. Millard.

Well, there he is.

Got the checks?

Oh, yes.

Jessie, go to work.

You'll be a millionaire.

I think you should be
handling it yourself.

This way is better.

He's not quick enough
for these negotiations.

He's our best chance.

Knievel likes him.

He gave Jessie his first
break in the business.

This guy Millard wants to book us

for a five-day tour down in Mexico.

You draw 100,000 bucks a jump.

Are you kidding?

Let me handle you down there.

I'll get you that much
for the taco concession.

Ben, we're not hooked up for life.

Don't be greedy.

Too late to change.

Listen, Evel,

anybody can talk money,
but Millard means it.

Here's 5 post-dated checks
for $100,000 apiece.

Every time you do a jump,
you cash a check.

That's all there is to it.

You're holding half a
million bucks in your hand.

Like a said, Jessie,

it's a lot of bread,

but Millard wants me right now.

I made a deal with Ben
for two more jumps.

I gave him my word.

What he says he'll do, he does.

You heard the man, Jessie.

You know,
Ben's a thieving little coyote.

He'd sell the moon
for a buck and a half.

If I stayed up 24 hours a day,

I'd get my cut.

Sorry.

Oh, I'm sorry, too.

You think about it, O.K.?

See ya.

No regards.

Ladies and gentlemen,
let me direct your attention

to the far end of the track.

That's the Evel Knievel caravan.

Trailers, vans,

trucks with Evel's ramps
and his bikes.

There is the sky cycle

that almost carried
Evel to his death

at the snake river...
Almost.

That gleaming white pickup
with Evel's favorite jump bikes

is custom-built.

That's the only one like that
in the entire world.

You're looking at $3 million
worth of mechanical wonders

on parade.

You and I are lucky,
ladies and gentlemen.

They turned away thousands
of requests for tickets.

Looks as though
everyone in California

wants to see Evel jump.

Right now you couldn't get
a grasshopper in this arena.

Those lions and tigers,
ladies and gentlemen,

are not household pets.

Each of those cats weighs
several hundred pounds.

They don't like strangers
on noisy motorcycles.

As Evel will tell you,

he can jump, but he can't fly.

There'll be nothing but air
between Evel and those cats.

This may be the most
dangerous day in Evel's life.

Will the wind affect
your jump today?

No. It Will help me.

How far are you jumping?

Far enough.

Wait a minute.
That's enough for right now.

I'll see you all in a little while.

Good luck, Evel.

The other photographers
are over there.

You're over here all by yourself.

What are you, a loner?

Well, I don't run with the pack.

Never did, never will.

Neither do vultures.

Or eagles.

Your reason for being here
is different than theirs.

We all have our jobs to do, right?

You think today's the day
I'm going to get it, huh?

You said that.
I didn't.

Hey, Tommy.
Great crowd, huh?

Sure is, Mr. Knievel.

Hey, you. Evel.

Evel.

Thanks.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the greatest and bravest
showman in the world...

Evel Knievel!

It's all yours.

Thank you.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

It's a pleasure to be with you
in long beach today

with my old pal frank gifford.

I see a lot of young people
in the stands today,

so before I make the jump,

there's something that
I'd like to say to you

that's been bothering me
for a long time.

I go to Indianapolis every year

to see the indy 500.

I go there with friends
that drive and race.

Every year when
they go there to qualify,

they usually have to go
as fast as they can

to get a front-row position.

They put nitro
in their cars sometimes

instead of the fuel
intended to be in the cars

so that their cars will go faster,

and they do for 5 or 10 laps,

and then they blow all to hell.

And you people, you kids,

if you put nitro in your bodies

in the form of narcotics

so that you can do better,

or so that maybe you think
you can do better,

you will for about 5 or 10 years,

and then you'll blow all to hell.

You're a wonderful crowd.

I'm glad that you all made it.

I'm going to do my best to make it

right across this jump.
Thank you.

O.K., Will,

let's check the jump bike out.

I already checked it out.

Let me take a look at it here.

These handlebars are a little high.

Let's lower them.

O.K.

Hey, you got yourself
a full-time job

till school starts.

Dad, will you teach me
how to ride sometime?

Forget it.

I'm an ex-rider.

Now the moment
you've all been waiting for.

Evel Knievel attempting to
jump a cage full of jungle killers

as he tries for
a new world's record

of 150 feet.

Ladies and gentlemen,
here comes Evel Knievel,

roaring down the road to glory,

making the most spectacular leap
of his life!

Hey...

This ain't for kids!

He's my friend!

Let me go!

Ladies and gentlemen,
please stay in your seats.

Please stay in your seats.

Help me off with my helmet.

Oh...

Sorry, miss.
I'm not dead yet.

You better get some
more film for that camera.

If he dies,
we're in a hell of a fix.

I need Knievel in Mexico alive.

Get on the telephone.

I want the best orthopedic and
neurosurgeons in town standing by.

Oh, Will.

I'm here, Evel.
I'm right here.

Let's get him in the ambulance.

Help me up.

You've got to go in the ambulance.

I want to talk
to the people, please.

He can't. He's hurt bad.

Help me up, Will.

Jessie.

Take it easy.

Easy.

Easy, babe. Yeah.

All right.

Thanks, frank.

Ladies and gentlemen...

I think you've probably
seen my last jump.

Now you can get the stretcher.

No. Come on.

We walked in here together.

Help me walk out.

Gently. Gentle.

Take it easy.

As you can see,
ladies and gentlemen,

Evel Knievel is walking
out of the stadium.

We don't know
how seriously he's hurt.

He walked into the stadium.

He's walking out
under his own power.

He took a tremendous crash
at over 90 miles per hour.

We don't know
how seriously he's injured.

We'll try and get
a report later on.

More telegrams.

Put them over there with the rest.

Will... Tommy.

Hey, Evel.

Boy...

It sure is good to...
Wake up in a hospital.

At least I know I'm alive.

Tommy, I'm sorry.

This is sure turning out
to be a bum vacation.

I'd rather be here with you and dad

than anywhere else in the world.

That's the best compliment

that's been paid us

in a month of sundays.

Evel, you mind
if I ask you a question?

Tommy, as far as I'm concerned,

there's no secrets in this room.

What is it?

Have you changed your mind

about never jumping again?

Tommy, in every person's life,

they have to come to
grips with themselves.

They have to know when
they've gone far enough.

Like... like your dad.

You've got to know
when it's time to quit.

But you're just not another person.

You're Evel Knievel.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Come on, Jess.

You've got more horsepower
than that.

Come on.

Come on! Come on!

Coming through!

A left-hand turn, put my foot down,

and slide right around
this corner here.

Are you O.K., Evel?

Oh, yeah.

You all right?

I never thought
I could do a wheelie

in one of them things.

I better get you back
to the hospital.

Look at my wheelchair.

Gonna have to call will
to fix this.

Now, sit down.

Oh, O.K.

Hang on.

Easy.

This ain't no hill-climbing contest,
you know.

Boy, it sure felt good

to get outside
in that sunshine, Jessie.

It'll feel better
when you get this back on.

Oh, easy, easy.

How about some orange juice, huh?

I could go for one of those.

Have you thought
any more about quitting?

That's all he ever
does think about.

Let me tell you guys something.

I don't know why I said
I was going to quit.

I really didn't mean it.

Every time I fall off
of that motorcycle,

I think the pain in my
legs or my back or my arms

is what's telling
my head what to say.

Maybe you ought to listen.

I want to ask you something.

You quit liking money?

Are you kidding me?

Well, come on now.

Making that mexican tour,

it's just like being handed
the keys to Fort Knox.

All you gotta do is
take the money and run.

You think about that.

O.K.

I'll think about it.

Let me know.
It's got to be soon, O.K.?

O.K., Jessie.

Thanks for coming over.

See ya.

Will, what do you think
I ought to do?

Look, Evel,

there are a lot of good jumpers,

and they do all right, too.

Then they get hurt and quit.

But not you.

No, no.

You crash, you burn.

Then you go at it again and again,

and, well...

I don't think you're
ever going to change.

Are you trying to tell me
I shouldn't quit?

I'm never going to tell
you anything like that.

It's your life that's on the line,

but...

All I...

I want you to know

that whatever you do decide,

I'm with you.

Hey, Will...

Viva tequila!

Viva Knievel!

Hi.

Hi.

Come on in.

Thanks.

Hi, there.

Hello.

I just came by
to see how you're doing.

Thanks, miss.

Sit down and take a load off.

I brought you a rose.

Hey, thanks.

I won't stay long.

I have another reason
for being here.

What's that?

We started out all wrong,

and I didn't want it
to end that way.

So? Don't let it end.

Have to.

I'm flying out to cover that
new revolution in South America.

Big deal.

There's always a
revolution in South America.

I always take good pictures.

You ought to stick around.

I'm, uh, going to make more noise

than you've ever heard
anywhere before.

I thought you quit.

Well, I changed my mind.

In fact, uh,

we just decided

we're on our way to old Mexico.

Will...

Why don't you call frank gifford

and tell him to come along?

Tell him it's fiesta time.

Check.

Consider it done.

Hey, miss...

You, uh...

You like mexican food, don't you?

Sure.

But I can take it or leave it.

Yeah.

Viva!

Evel Knievel!

Evel Knievel!

Evel Knievel!

Viva!

Bravo, se�or Knievel!

Viva Knievel!

Arriba, se�or Knievel!

Welcome, welcome.

As governor of this state,

I extend to you
our warmest hospitality.

You are quite a man,
Mr. Knievel.

While you're in Mexico,
this hacienda will be your house.

Well, thank you.

I've always heard you were
the warmest of neighbors.

My sentiments, too, governor.

Thank you very much.

There are refreshments
in the patio.

Shall we?

Se�or Knievel!

Viva Knievel!

Well, I think it's interesting.

Don't you think so?

We've done enough yakking.

We're late. Let's go.

Wait a minute.

Have you seen Tommy lately?

He's really having a ball.

I think that, uh,

all kids must like to play hooky,

even from their parents.

Tommy doesn't have any parents.

But you're his father!

Only on the birth certificate.

We've just driven
1,100 miles together.

We've done a lot of talking.

You know what?

You're not fooling anybody

about your feelings for Tommy

except yourself.

Mister, you ought to stop.

You should've been
a district attorney, lady.

I would've won this case, buster.

I have followed all your
exploits with great interest,

especially that
cannon shot in Idaho.

Thank you very much,
but you haven't seen nothing yet.

Wait till you see
this jump here in Mexico.

Let's have your famous tequila.

Miss Morgan.

Mr. Cortland.

Cheers. Cheers.

Will!

Will, come on over!

Fellas, excuse me, please.

I'd like you to meet Will.

This is my pal.

He taught me everything I know
about motorcycle jumping.

Without him,
the show doesn't go on.

Will, this is the governor.

So nice to meet you.

My pleasure, governor.

How about taking a picture
of the champ Will Atkins?

Come on.

Will... Will,
what's the matter?

Are you all right?

Yeah, I... felt
a little woozy.

Are you sure
you're O.K.?

Come on.

Let's get some fresh air.

Without you,
the show doesn't go on.

Fellas, excuse us
for just a minute.

We're going to take
a look at the bikes.

We'll be back.

The ramps look pretty good.

Get that in a little tighter there.

Don't want to have any accidents.

Tommy, I got to check the
distance between these ramps.

3... 6... 9...

12...

Yeah.

Everything that I do today, Tommy,

will help save my life tomorrow.

I didn't know you had
to do so much.

Well,
riding a motorcycle's serious business,

and it's about time you
found out for yourself.

If Evel's wheels ever
get caught in this groove,

he'll end up in the bleachers.

I want him to end up there.

Comprende?

Si.

Well, what do you think?

Do you like it?

Like it?

Wow! It's great.

So you think you're
ready to solo, huh?

Yep. I remember
everything you taught me.

Except one thing.
Where's your helmet?

Here. Put this
on your noggin.

That-a-boy.
All right.

Now you're ready.

Now look what you've done.

Look what you've done!

The first time you
reach out to help him

you shake him out of him shoes?

Look at that bike.

Look at your kid.

Who told him he could ride?

I did. He hit the curb.
That happens.

We can fix that bike.

What about this kid?

I told you once before...
Butt out!

If I hadn't have butted in,
Tommy wouldn't be here.

How do you think he got here?

School sent him.

That's what I told him to say.

I sent the money
for the plane ticket.

10 years of blaming him for
your wife's death at childbirth

was long enough.

Shut up.

I figured when you first saw Tommy,

it'd be a whole new world for you,
but no!

You pushed into my life
just once too far!

Stop it!

Anyway you want it, man.

Stop it!

Stop it, you apes!
Stop!

You stop!

Tommy, I left
my equipment up in the stands.

Please go watch it for me.

One more minute, you'd
have that kid

running for the nearest orphanage.

Where do you get off telling
him when to be a parent?

All you've done
is try to convince Tom

that you should've been his dad.

What do you know?
That's a lie.

That's a fact.

You're so busy making his
life one big chocolate malted,

he hasn't had time to know his dad.

Yeah.

Shut up, you dropout!

You said Tommy didn't
have any parents.

Well, you're right.

I've had a front-row seat
at this ugly spectacle,

and I want you to know something.

I think you're both the worst...

Real nothings.

Excellent.

Excellent.

How do you like it?

It's all right.

Uh, just to try it for size.

Bart.

Hey, just like the squirrel
stashing away nuts.

How many will it hold?

3,000 bags.

Why are you using this trailer?

Why don't you use Evel's rig?

Come on with me.

Look at the rest of it.

You know what the plan is.

No one is going to stop Evel
Knievel's funeral procession

from coming back across the border.

You haven't answered my question.

Why don't you use Evel's rig?

It's taken a lot of money
to get this built here.

No way to get Evel Knievel's trailer
to do the job,

so I'm having this duplicate built.

O.K.

You got the money?

Show him.

Hmm.

You got 2,999 more bags of this?

Delivered tomorrow, as agreed.

Then you get your cash tomorrow,
as agreed.

I thought that was you
sneaking into my room.

You won't be needing
these any longer.

Please.

What is this?

I'm sorry, Evel.

Hi. I'm Ralph Thompson,
resident administrator.

Where's Will?

Right this way.

He's among friends.

This is an american sanitarium,
Mr. Knievel.

We're staffed by americans.

We accept only american patients.

Boy, you sound too good to be true.

The police recognized him
from his news photographs

and contacted
both you and me, luckily.

Yeah. He's lucky.

Let me have
Mr. Atkins' chart.

I had him brought here

because I trust
Mr. Thompson.

Gentlemen, this way, please.

What are you?
Are you a doctor?

No, I'm a therapist,

but I have had
extensive experience.

I'm telling you,
you're both dead wrong.

I wish you were right.

I felt the same way,

so I had the local police check.

This is proof positive,
I'm sorry to say.

It's a teletype of Will's
arrest record in the states.

Right over here,
Mr. Knievel.

Just look right through
that window there.

Aaah!

He took an overdose of something.

We don't know what it was.

If we're lucky,
he may come out of it.

No way. No way.

If he's been drinking, all right,

but dope... no way.

You saw for yourself.

I've known this guy all my life.

You can't tell me he's an addict.

Evel, here are the facts.

You'll have to show me more

to prove to me he's a junkie!

And you're supposed
to be the head honcho.

You listen and listen good.

Whatever he wants, he gets,

no matter what
the cost. Understand?

Sure.

You take good care of him.

Well, what do you think?

Out of sight.
What a mean machine.

That's a stratocycle, Jessie.

I had it built especially for you.

You can buy 20 ordinary bikes

for what that one
cost. Try it.

Yeah.

Are you still worried about Jessie?

Did you see the way
this baby handles?

I could clear 200 feet with it.

How'd you like to try
for the world's record?

I thought Evel was doing
the jumping.

If something should
happen to Evel...

We wouldn't want that to happen,

but you'd be around
to try for the top spot.

Mr. Millard,
if something happens to Evel,

you can depend on me.

Of course I know that.

No matter what happens with Evel,

you're my top man.

Will you take the Porsche
back for me?

Sure.

See you.

I think he really wants
Knievel's spot.

I'm counting on it.

Norman, get the bike.

Martin.

That's our ace...

An exact duplicate of
Knievel's jumping bike.

Now.

Now, that tire's got to go flat

the instant Knievel's
completed his jump.

I can send this signal
for a quarter of a mile,

but I won't be more
than 100 yards away.

Does Jessie know about this?

You saw me send him back to town.

He can't know about it.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello!

Give me those keys!

Give me those keys!

Aah!

Will, take it easy.
It's me... Evel.

Who let you in?

Wait. I'm not
your enemy.

That's where we left off.

So we had an argument
about Tommy. Let it go.

What'd you tell the kid
about all this?

I didn't tell him that
you're a dope addict.

He'd take on the
supreme court for you.

Yeah.

Will.

I know!

I know.

I know you think
the world of that boy,

but you're going to
have to tell him yourself.

I'm sure going to try.

What's the matter?

What have they done to you?

I found some pictures
in Jessie's room.

They took shots of the trailer.

Everything... up, down,
sideways... everything.

What does Millard want?

All I know is, he put me away.

You're going to have to stay here.

What are you talking about?

If you leave,
Millard will know we're on to him.

Well...

H-How long do I stay here?

Just until after the
jump is over tomorrow.

O.K.

Hey, Evel.

What?

Take care of Tommy...

Till I can.

You bet I will.

Buenos tardes,
ladies and gentlemen.

That means good afternoon
from south of the border.

We're speaking to you
from El Estadio del Sol,

the stadium of the sun,

and you've seen on your screens,

it's fiesta time in Mexico.

This vibrant, exciting,
thrill-seeking crowd

has turned out by the thousands

for their idol Evel Knievel.

Well, I guess they love
a parade the world over,

and here it comes,

this one being led
by mexican caballeros

riding the finest horses
this country has to offer.

But when can I see my father?

Well,
I'm afraid you'll just have to, uh,

be patient, son.

He, um,
he has to regain his strength first.

Can I talk to him?

No.

No, I'm sorry.

That would be impossible.

He's undergoing a terrible ordeal.

Can I just say hello?

Maybe, um...
Maybe next week.

Will you leave a message for me?

Sure.

Just say I love him.

They won't let you see him, huh?

Did you find out anything?

No.

They won't let Tommy see Will.

They wouldn't let me
see him either,

but I did last night.

How is he?

Don't worry.
He's going to be O.K.

As soon as this jump's over,

I'm going to pay another
visit to that sanitarium

and get him out.

How?

Let me handle that.
Don't you worry.

That's the end of the parade,
ladies and gentlemen.

You can feel the excitement build

as this crowd eagerly
awaits Evel Knievel.

Evel?

Yeah.

I want you to know something.

What's that?

Suddenly, I hate my assignment.

Yeah? Why?

I don't want to shoot
your last jump.

I don't want you
to have a last jump.

That's the nicest thing
you've said.

Thanks.

You take care
of yourself, you hear?

Yeah, I will.

Maybe now I'll have
a better reason to.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've
never felt anything like this before.

There's electricity in the air here

because this is Evel Knievel's
first appearance in Mexico.

Yeah?

Are you ready?

Ready and waiting.

Ladies and gentlemen, Evel
Knievel has already turned this crowd

into a personal cheering section.

He'll need all
the well-wishers he can get

because he's jumping over
150 feet of burning fire.

A mistake will cost him his life.

That was great.

Thanks, Tommy.

That baby ready to go?

Sure is.

It's time to get
this show on the road.

Can't keep the customers waiting.

Time to go for broke.

Don't forget your helmet.

Thanks.

That fire you've just seen

is over 100 feet of flaming death.

Evel's going to jump it in
just his ordinary leathers.

He just has to make it.

I would like
to discuss Jessie again.

Go ahead.

We're in Mexico.
We've got Knievel, thanks to Jessie,

but Jessie is a junkie.

I don't trust junkies.

Meanwhile, you promise to make him

number one jumper.

I say we get rid of him.

Take it easy.
Jessie is finished.

Norman, you'll take care of that.

All right.

End of the line, Evel.

What'd you say?

End of the line, man.

You're supposed to be
at the other end.

Not anymore.

Today it's my shot at the glory.

I'm making this jump.

Those people paid their
pesos to see me jump.

No, way, man.
I'm jumping.

I've always known
I was better than you.

Today I'm going to prove it.

Hey, you been smoking something?

You're high.

Man, baby, you ought to get high.

Millard wants to kill you and Will.

He even thinks
he's going to kill me.

Why would he do that?

Millard brought you here

to take your body back
to the United States

as cover for $50 million
worth of cocaine.

I got to jump.

I've never seen Evel
take this much time before.

Something's wrong.

He promised to be careful.

Now what's the delay?

I don't know.
Take it easy.

Here he comes.

Evel Knievel,
riding toward triumph or tragedy.

Oh, my god.

No, Tommy! No!

That had to be one of the
worst crashes Evel's ever taken.

Jessie.

Yeah.

He's dead, all right.

It ain't Knievel.

It's Jessie.

What is it?

Jessie took the jump, not Evel.

Jessie is dead.

How'd that happen?

How do I know?

Maybe Jessie blew the
whole thing to Knievel.

Get to him before
he gets to the cops.

Right.

And, Norman, stop him cold.

Get down there and get Will's kid

and that dame with him
in case we need leverage.

Come on.
We'll take my car to the hospital.

Thompson, this is Millard.

That patient in solitary,

I want him to have the most
complete treatment possible.

I can handle that.

Now, just dismiss him
from your mind.

Security, now!
On the double!

Go!

How's my kid?

Fine, except for
worrying about you.

Where is he?

Probably back
at the hacienda by now.

Let's get moving so we
can stop him from worrying!

Can you hurry it up?

Almost finished.

Good. Bring Jessie out.

Oh, no!

Don't worry.
We're almost there, old buddy.

Hey, what are you stopping for?

Hey, I'm seeing double.

What's Millard after?

Come on. Let's take
a closer look.

Come on.
Hurry up.

It's Tommy!

Will, hold it.

Hold it!

There's six guns against one.

We need those bikes.

We don't stand a chance
unless we lower the odds.

Get them in the back of the truck.

Norman, get the rig hooked up.

Get up there, lady.

Inside.

Bill, get Evel Knievel's
trailer in the desert

and lose it.
We'll see you on the other side.

Yes, sir.

All set.

Move it out.

O.K.

Hi, boys.

Get in there.
Get in there.

Come on, goon.
Let's move it.

Get in there.

What do you think Knievel will do?

When he finds out
Kate and Tommy are gone,

he'll come after us.

That's what I'm counting on.

I'll let the Porsche see
me and draw them off.

You can take care of
those goons in the truck.

Right plan, wrong player.

I'll take the Porsche.

You'll be as good as dead.

I know. What choice
do I have?

I wouldn't have a chance

against those hoods in that truck.

All right, look.

Take this.
That'll help even the odds.

Go on.
You can do it.

Save my kid, partner.

You bet I will.

There's someone behind us.
See who it is.

It's Knievel!

No, that's Atkins.
Will Atkins.

Drop him. Kill him!

That's it!

Will's finished.
Millard will see to that.

Hold it steady!

Well, that's one down
and one to go.

Now let's get Knievel.

Knievel!

What was that?

How the hell do I know?

Well, I better pull over.

No, you keep on moving.

Millard said not to stop
for anything.

I'll go take a look.

Hey!

Evel.

Evel!

I thought you crashed.

What happened?

Don't worry about me.
How are you doing?

How you doing, huh?

Are you O.K.?

I hate cryers.

Did you get my dad
out of the sanitarium?

Sure did, but he went
after the Porsche.

Is he all right?

I think so,
but we'll have to wait to find out.

That's all I've ever done,
just sit and wait.

Don't worry, Tommy.
He'll be O.K.

You stay here.

Tommy, I need a hand from you.

I want to make sure
that goon stays down.

Come with me a minute.

Give me the door, Tommy.

We'll lock him in here.

Watch your hand.

Now, you two, come with me.

Let's go.

Now, look. Don't worry.

I'll take care of your dad.

Look, the both of you,

remember what I said.

Stay behind this hill
until I come back.

Don't come out for anybody.

He's playing games with us.

I'll show him games.

Aah!

Aah!

Get him!

Come on!
Come on!

Aah! Aah!

Look!

Where?

Over there, by the rocks.

I don't see anything.

Right there.

It's your imagination.

No.

Dad!

Dad!

Tommy! Son!

Tommy!

Tommy.

Oh, Tommy.

Oh, Evel, are you all right?

What happened?

Well, I had a couple
of things to take care of,

but I didn't find Will.

He's O.K.
Will found us!

Hey, they finally found each other.

Like we did?

Good afternoon, everyone.

This is frank gifford,

speaking to you once again
from sunny Mexico.

Hopefully, last week's disaster
will turn into this week's victory.

Viva Knievel!

Viva Knievel!

Viva Knievel!

Viva Knievel!
