1
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,161
Why?

2
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,922
That is the question people ask me most.

3
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,020
Why? For what?

4
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,088
Why do you walk on the wire?

5
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,850
Why do you tempt fate?

6
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,048
Why do you risk death?

7
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,140
But...

8
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,980
I don't think of it this way.
I never even say this word.

9
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,081
Death.

10
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,300
Yes, okay, I said it once or, or,
maybe three times just now.

11
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,846
But watch, I will not say it again.

12
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,362
Instead, I use the opposite word.

13
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:41,601
Life.

14
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,287
For me, to walk on the wire,
this is life.

15
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,580
So,

16
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,060
picture with me,
it's 1974, New York City,

17
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,940
and I am in love with two buildings,
two towers.

18
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,100
Or as everyone in the world calls them,
the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.

19
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,260
They call to me,

20
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,488
these towers,
they stir something inside of me,

21
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,171
and they inspire in me, a dream.

22
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,120
My dream

23
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,620
is to hang a high wire
between those Twin Towers,

24
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,609
and walk on it.

25
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,300
Of course, this is impossible,

26
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,562
not to mention illegal.

27
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,820
So, why attempt the impossible?

28
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:23,700
Why follow your dream?

29
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,247
But I cannot answer this question, "Why?"
Not with words.

30
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,251
But I can show you how it happened.

31
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,820
And so, we must go back in time
and across the ocean,

32
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,380
because my love affair with these beautiful
towers did not begin in New York.

33
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,460
In case you couldn't tell,
I'm not from here.

34
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,849
No. My story begins in another one
of the world's most beautiful cities.

35
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,771
C'est Paris.

36
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:10,763
So, now, picture Paris.

37
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,220
Here I am, a self-proclaimed wire walker
that nobody on earth cares about,

38
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,449
surviving as a troubadour
performing in the streets.

39
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,100
I've created a character.
I have a top hat.

40
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,647
I wear only black. I teach myself
to draw a perfect circle on the ground,

41
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,366
and within this circle, I never speak,
not one word.

42
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,740
The circle is my domain,

43
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,571
and I don't allow
even half of a toe inside of it.

44
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,203
And if the spectators continue to
violate my sacred space,

45
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,927
well, I must employ
more drastic measures.

46
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,420
I perform for anyone who will watch me,
and people love it.

47
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,966
Man, woman, young, old, everyone.

48
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,487
Except, of course, the police.

49
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,008
I don't believe in getting a permit.

50
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,700
But no matter where I was going
or what I was doing,

51
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,580
I was always searching,

52
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,843
looking for the perfect place
to hang my wire.

53
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,780
I have a horrible toothache.
I need to see a dentist right away!

54
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,644
Did you call for an appointment?

55
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,569
I don't have a telephone.

56
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,290
You'll have to wait.

57
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,482
But madame... please?

58
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,250
It shouldn't be more than two hours.

59
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,642
You expect me to suffer like this
for hours?

60
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,283
I hope I don't collapse from the pain.

61
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,042
Suddenly, I freeze.

62
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,967
The pain in my tooth is gone.

63
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,700
In the magazine, there's an article
with an illustration about the towers.

64
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,060
They're not even finished yet,

65
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,969
but the magazine says
that once they are,

66
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,447
they will be the tallest in the world.

67
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,527
And with this tiny pencil stroke,

68
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,611
my fate was sealed.

69
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,404
This was the beginning of my dream.

70
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,246
The first time I ever saw a wire walker,
I was eight years old.

71
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,300
The circus had come to my town,

72
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,700
and it featured
The Omankowsky Family Troupe,

73
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,928
one of the greatest wire-walking troupes
in the world.

74
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,410
The White Devils.

75
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,940
My son, the circus clown.

76
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,500
And I teach myself to walk on that rope.

77
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,580
And it turns out, I have some talent
for climbing and balancing, even juggling.

78
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:06,091
But I want to know more.

79
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,884
Get down from there!

80
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,682
So this is how I meet
Rudy Omankowsky, Sr.,

81
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,700
the patriarch of The White Devils
wire-walking family,

82
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,802
who everybody calls "Papa Rudy."

83
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,340
He would never say
exactly where he was from.

84
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,169
He was certainly not French.

85
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:10,804
Papa Rudy was a supreme wire walker,
acrobat and juggler.

86
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,406
And in that moment,
I suppose he saw something in me.

87
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,841
Philippe!

88
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,688
I don't speak Czech.

89
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,970
- I speak English.
- Okay.

90
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,327
Today, you're going to learn
how to make entrance.

91
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,008
You need to learn how to compliment.

92
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,242
'Compliment'? What's that?

93
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,681
A compliment is a silent message,

94
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,380
an order to the audience
to pay attention.

95
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,660
And after the performance, a compliment
is also an offering of gratitude.

96
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,683
A salute.

97
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,180
Salute.

98
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,770
Okay, okay, okay, okay.

99
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,882
No, Philippe. That was terrible.

100
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,488
You're doing too much.

101
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,208
Do nothing. Now, try again.

102
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,740
No! I said, "Do nothing!"

103
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,161
You're still doing too much!
You look like a coward.

104
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,131
The audience must always feel
you are in control.

105
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,810
Stop trying so hard!

106
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,051
Do nothing. Do it again.

107
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,020
Where's your respect?
You didn't do anything.

108
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,140
But you said to do nothing!

109
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,846
Do nothing on the outside.

110
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:41,860
On the inside, in your heart,
you must salute.

111
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:42,940
"In my heart?"

112
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,260
What the hell are you talking about?

113
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,567
But the performer must have
an honest respect

114
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,140
and gratitude for the audience.

115
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,180
But why should I respect the audience?
It is me on the wire.

116
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,140
You will salute the audience
and pay respect!

117
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,540
There is no show without an audience!

118
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,660
Unless you understand that,
you will never perform in circus.

119
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,100
Good, okay, me,
I don't want to perform in the circus.

120
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,620
I am not some ridiculous circus clown.

121
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:06,926
I am an artist!

122
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,124
So, just like that,

123
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,330
Papa Rudy threw my artistic little ass
out into the street.

124
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,140
And, a short time later...

125
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,447
You waste your life
with your stupid circus tricks!

126
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,726
Wire-walking won't put bread
on your table!

127
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,047
Could we give him one last chance?

128
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:27,641
No.
The carrots are cooked.

129
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,286
That's right! The carrots are cooked!

130
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,721
Philippe!

131
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,380
The carrots were cooked.
There was nothing left to do.

132
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,960
So, I set off on my way.

133
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,940
I didn't even know
what I was looking for,

134
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,522
but I figured I might find it in Paris.

135
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,923
I had a great thing going,
until you showed up.

136
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,780
Can you hear me now?

137
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,120
A mime who speaks?

138
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,403
I'm not a mime.
I don't hide behind imaginary walls.

139
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,060
Please don't insult my circle.

140
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,571
It's my sacred space.

141
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,500
I'd be much obliged
if y'all could just mosey along.

142
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,443
This here is a private conversation.

143
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,171
Well, shut my mouth.

144
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,522
- We thought you were putting on a show.
- No, it ain't.

145
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,300
This here's for y'all.

146
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,765
Well, thank you kindly.

147
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:07,961
Bye, now.

148
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,940
Wow, I love your English.
It sounds so American.

149
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,041
Dirty thief.

150
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,100
I think I like better the English.

151
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,740
Who do you think you are?
Bastard.

152
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,285
Yes, I certainly prefer the English.

153
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,620
Then listen, juggler.
You stole my best audience in weeks.

154
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,660
And for what? Some cheap stunt?

155
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,081
Well, I'm sorry,
but people love my high wire.

156
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,925
You call that a high wire?

157
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,649
That was the lowest high wire
I've ever seen.

158
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,900
You're right, mademoiselle.

159
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,620
But that is because
the two tallest trees in this square

160
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,660
were in your performance space.

161
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,401
And me, I would never invade
the space of another artist.

162
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,891
It's going to rain.

163
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,370
Angry street musician.

164
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,286
I would like to make you an arrangement.

165
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,003
I will only play in that square
when you are not playing.

166
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,500
That's every weekend
and every second Tuesday.

167
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,740
Okay, deal.

168
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,001
My name is Philippe.

169
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,209
- Annie.
- Annie, it's a nice name.

170
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,820
Why all the English?

171
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,340
Because I must practice.
I'm going to New York.

172
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,260
New York. That's very exciting.

173
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,806
- Yes? Maybe you'll come with me.
- Yeah, maybe.

174
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,641
I like the way you sing. It's very good.

175
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,140
You were not listening to me sing.

176
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,780
You were playing with fire on a rope.

177
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,484
No, before that, I was here earlier.

178
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,900
Maybe you did not see me, but I saw you,
and I heard you sing.

179
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,001
It was beautiful.

180
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,201
Well, thank you.

181
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,260
Annie, may I buy you a glass of wine?

182
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:51,860
No, I don't think that's a good idea.

183
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,724
Yes, then I will make you
an arrangement.

184
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,100
If you let me buy you a glass of wine,

185
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,727
I will never hang my rope anywhere in the
Latin Quarter ever again.

186
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,620
You don't give up. Do you?

187
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,564
No. No, I'm very persistent.

188
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,681
My dream.

189
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,051
- And this is you.
- Yes.

190
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,285
It will be the most glorious
high wire walk in history.

191
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,487
And how high must this wire be
to make so much glory?

192
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,602
Over 100 stories high.

193
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,604
Where do trees like this grow?

194
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:35,441
These are not trees.

195
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,242
Two magnificent towers.

196
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,804
One hundred meters taller
than the Eiffel Tower itself.

197
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,161
I see.

198
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,447
What do you think?

199
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,807
I don't know. It looks so...

200
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,366
- So...
- Beautiful.

201
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,285
Beautiful, yes.

202
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,220
And dangerous.

203
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,500
And completely insane.
And you're a mad man.

204
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,443
Yes, I am mad, but this...

205
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,491
This is my dream.

206
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,164
Then, if it's your dream,
you must do it.

207
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,460
But even if everybody tells me I'm mad?

208
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,540
Well, you shouldn't care about
what other people think.

209
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,005
Okay, but I care what you think.

210
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,780
I love your dream, Philippe.

211
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,860
- Yes?
- Yes.

212
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,300
Do you want to know
what I think about you?

213
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:22,380
- No.
- No?

214
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,050
- Not even a little bit?
- No, no.

215
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,162
Okay, but I'm going to tell you anyway.

216
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,130
You can tell me, but I won't care.

217
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,971
I know a place where
there are two beautiful trees.

218
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,580
I didn't realize it at the time

219
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,889
but Annie had become
my first accomplice.

220
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,969
- Annie.
- Yes?

221
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,005
I was thinking

222
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:04,885
you should come up here with me.

223
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,380
No, I don't think so.

224
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,609
Yes. It will be your baptism
of the wire.

225
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,201
No.

226
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,328
Come on, Annie. You must trust me.

227
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,641
Okay.

228
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,371
And breathe

229
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,010
and step.

230
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:29,367
Indeed, there were two beautiful trees
growing in the park of Annie's art school.

231
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,291
So, she arranged for me to
be able to hang my wire there.

232
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,690
It was perfect,
'cause I could practice every day

233
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:37,445
and I could see Annie as well.

234
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,220
Then, one day, while I was on my wire

235
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,244
I was approached by a very
serious-looking young man.

236
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,161
Do you mind if I take your photo?

237
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:53,561
Perhaps.

238
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,281
I am Philippe.

239
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,300
Jean-Louis.

240
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,340
Jean-Louis, do you speak English,
Jean-Louis?

241
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,441
Yes. Why?

242
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,048
Because I must practice.
I'm going to America.

243
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:05,607
To perform?

244
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,721
Exactly.

245
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,570
But my performance
will not just be a show.

246
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,402
It will be a coup.

247
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,201
Yes.

248
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,769
I intend to rig my wire in secret

249
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,004
on the most spectacular stage
in the world.

250
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,090
And then, without warning,

251
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,401
I will appear.

252
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,180
And I will perform a surprise

253
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,965
and illegal wire walk.

254
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,366
If it works, it will be the artistic coup
of the century.

255
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,641
Wow.

256
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,767
Well, you, my friend,
can see my photographs any time.

257
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,180
They're very rebellious.

258
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,807
So, you are not just a photographer,
you are an anarchist as well?

259
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,731
All artists are anarchists
to some degree.

260
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,969
- Don't you agree?
- Yes.

261
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,251
And you, my artist, anarchist friend,

262
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,922
can be my

263
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,926
official photographer.

264
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,050
And so this is how
I make friends with Jean-Louis,

265
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,004
my second accomplice.

266
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,448
If that were to happen during your coup,

267
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,166
it would be the artistic disaster
of the century.

268
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,965
I need to know more.

269
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,288
Don't you know how to knock on a door?

270
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,420
I need you to teach me
how to rig a high wire.

271
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,364
High wire for what?
You're a street juggler.

272
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,841
But I need to know
how to tie the correct knots.

273
00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:01,968
I need to know what kind of cable to use,
the weight, the thickness, the load strength.

274
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,660
So, you want me

275
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,048
to just give you my secrets.

276
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,845
Secrets I've spent a lifetime learning.

277
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,486
Secrets I've only given to my sons.

278
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,841
You want me to just hand them
over to you.

279
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,927
I can pay you. I have money.

280
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,851
I don't care what it costs.

281
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,604
Meet me at Le cirque

282
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,881
at sunrise.

283
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,210
Bring your juggling money.

284
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,281
Place wood blocks between
the cable and mast.

285
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,001
Okay.

286
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,921
The wood blocks act as buffer,

287
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,722
so when masts flex, the wire won't snap.

288
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,081
And always, always
check the rigging yourself.

289
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,210
Never step on a wire

290
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,020
if you've not checked
all of the rigging yourself.

291
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:02,360
- Capisce?
- Okay.

292
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:07,740
There was this great Polish guy,
wire walker, Roman.

293
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,940
He said he could tell
when cable was at correct tension

294
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,850
through his ass and through his ear.

295
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,620
Underneath,

296
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,721
through the ring,

297
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,281
lock it off.

298
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,281
Tighten.

299
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,762
And pay.

300
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,802
Philippe, you give me broken money.

301
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,251
- No, it works.
- It's broke.

302
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,606
So, Papa Rudy let me travel
with his troupe.

303
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,883
Of course, I never did any performance.

304
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,007
But any time the big top was empty,

305
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,170
I would practice on the wire.

306
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,164
Most wire walkers,
they die when they arrive.

307
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,449
They think they have arrived,
but they're still on the wire.

308
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:53,044
If you have three steps to do,

309
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,207
and you take those steps arrogantly,

310
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,609
if you think you are invincible,

311
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,720
you're going to die.

312
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,402
This one, I give to you for free.

313
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,202
A few weeks later,
I did my first official public walk

314
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,731
in this tiny little village.

315
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,460
It's so small, it's not even on a map.

316
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,220
But the mayor of this village,
every spring he puts on a festival.

317
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,689
And Papa Rudy convinced him to hire me
to do a walk over this little lake,

318
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,246
which was more like a swamp.

319
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:29,620
Is it okay?

320
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,291
No. Through your ass and your feet,
you tell me.

321
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,926
Annie came, she set up
a turntable for music.

322
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,241
And Jean-Louis came to take pictures.

323
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,680
So, I begin my performance,
and everything's going very well.

324
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,500
But then I start to hear this murmur of
some laughing and giggling,

325
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,500
and it turns out, there is also
a fishing contest that afternoon

326
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,380
on this lake, more like a swamp.

327
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,340
And the fishermen,
they're drinking wine.

328
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,220
They're yelling insults at me.

329
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,448
They're laughing at me
while I'm trying to work.

330
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,660
Now, walking on the wire
is as much mental as it is physical.

331
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,161
If you lose your concentration,
you lose your balance.

332
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:33,846
Philippe!

333
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,500
So here I am, in the mud to my knees

334
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,523
doing the Papa Rudy compliment.

335
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,489
This was my first performance.

336
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:57,761
A failure.

337
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,410
And after this, I didn't feel so good.

338
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,300
Then one day,

339
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,529
I was walking along the Seine,
feeling sorry for myself.

340
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:15,441
When I look up,

341
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,900
and I saw the towers of Notre-Dame.

342
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,449
And I said,
"This is where I must put my wire."

343
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,050
"This is how I will redeem myself."

344
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,100
And so, under the cover of darkness,
and with a false key,

345
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,260
Jean-Louis and I sneak
into the cathedral.

346
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,700
I attach some fishing line to
one of my juggling balls,

347
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,690
and I throw it across to the other side
where Jean-Louis is waiting.

348
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,820
Then, we attach this fishing line
to a small rope,

349
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,604
and we pass that between the towers.

350
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,020
Then we pass a larger rope.

351
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,044
Then, we attach this larger rope
to the steel walk cable.

352
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,940
So, Jean-Louis and I stay up all night

353
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,646
installing a wire between
these two ancient towers.

354
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,050
And when the first tourists
start to arrive in the morning,

355
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:01,406
I begin.

356
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,020
And I succeed.

357
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,660
I perform my first surprise,
illegal high wire walk.

358
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,340
This is also the first time
I get the taste of this sensation.

359
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,180
This feeling that I'm crossing into a...

360
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,123
A truly different world.

361
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,527
And I was redeemed.

362
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,721
Or so I thought.

363
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,060
These Parisians,
they know nothing but contempt.

364
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,820
They refuse to appreciate beauty.

365
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,740
Every other country, Germany, Spain,

366
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,500
England, even Russia, they salute me.

367
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,340
They call me a maestro.
They call me a valiant young poet.

368
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,204
But no, not the French.

369
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,380
They call me "delinquent."
They call me "vandal."

370
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,500
- Philippe.
- Vandal!

371
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:10,601
Look.

372
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,405
This is a sign.

373
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,740
In the same newspaper
as my Notre-Dame story?

374
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,580
This is providence.

375
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,020
It says they're almost finished.

376
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,540
The lower floors are already occupied.

377
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,971
Annie! We need to pack.

378
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,051
They're enormous.

379
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:39,847
Yes.

380
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,361
They're monstrous.

381
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,044
They're a lot taller than I imagined.

382
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:15,966
Yes.

383
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,321
It's absurd.

384
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,491
Completely absurd.

385
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,246
It's not real.

386
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,609
These towers, they have no scale!

387
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,940
They just rise and never stop.
It's not human!

388
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,042
It's over. It's over. It's finished.

389
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,340
- What's finished?
- The coup! My dream! It's destroyed!

390
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,329
Do you see these monsters?

391
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,460
- These beasts! Beasts!
- Calm down!

392
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,660
They just tell me it's not possible
and nothing else!

393
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,380
There's no sign of possibility.

394
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,244
There's nothing telling me
that it can be done.

395
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,326
Yo.

396
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,680
How you doing?

397
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,125
There's stairs going up.

398
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:43,886
Go back to the hotel.

399
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,480
If I'm not back in five hours,
look for me at the police station.

400
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,020
I make my way to the top.

401
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,690
Nobody stops me.

402
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,900
And I find myself standing
on an island floating in mid-air,

403
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,002
on the edge of the void.

404
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,580
Of course, I automatically
look across to the opposite tower.

405
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,810
But then I have to dare to look down.

406
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,260
Now, I think I know the void.

407
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,580
I'm a wire walker.
The void is my domain, yes?

408
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,047
Well, not this void.

409
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,724
But, still I gather
the courage to whisper.

410
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,926
I whisper so the demons won't hear me.

411
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,561
It's impossible.

412
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:31,321
But I'll do it.

413
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,300
English. Only English.

414
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,845
We must learn to sound like New Yorkers.

415
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,770
Your so-called coup
is a ridiculous joke.

416
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,020
- There. Have it in English.
- That's why I have it all planned out.

417
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,929
Planned out? Who are you kidding?

418
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,100
You have no idea
what's on the opposite roof.

419
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,580
You don't know what time
the construction crews arrive

420
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:06,860
or what time they quit.

421
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:08,140
You have no idea

422
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:10,980
what the actual distance is
between the towers.

423
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,140
Or how you're going to anchor
the cavalettis.

424
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:15,460
How? There is absolutely no place

425
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:16,846
to attach them to the facade.

426
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,660
And, by the way, how many days

427
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,620
did it take you to build this maquette?

428
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:22,370
Come on. This is beautiful!

429
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:23,980
What are the cavalettis?

430
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,740
These guy wires.

431
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,460
Papa Rudy calls them "cavalettis."

432
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:28,766
They stabilize the walk cable.

433
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,921
The walk cable.

434
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,260
So,

435
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,380
how do you intend to pass the cable
across the void?

436
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:35,900
Well, just like we did at Notre-Dame.

437
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,660
We start with a fishing line
attached to a rope

438
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,180
attached to the cable.

439
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,700
And how do we pass the fishing
line between the towers?

440
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,300
Yes, it is too far to throw
the juggling ball.

441
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,740
But I was thinking we could get
a radio-controlled airplane

442
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,140
and fly the line across.
This would be fantastic.

443
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:51,340
Philippe.

444
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,780
It takes years to learn
how to fly an RC airplane.

445
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:54,860
- Do you understand that?
- No.

446
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,540
We must accomplish the coup this summer.

447
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,020
The towers are almost built.
We are running out of time.

448
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,900
I need you to help me pull this off.
Think if we succeed.

449
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,940
This could be the most audacious

450
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,660
- work of art that has ever been done!
- Audacious? Audacious?

451
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,380
- It's madness!
- Yes, it's madness!

452
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,700
No one in his right mind
would attempt this thing.

453
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,540
But that is why I must do it,
because it has never been done!

454
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,380
And so, yes, I admit, I am mad.

455
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,700
- Yes! Wow, you are mad.
- Yes! I am mad.

456
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,962
- Are you completely insane?
- Yeah, I'm crazy!

457
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,020
Yes, you love me because I am mad!

458
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,407
I am insane! I am totally crazy!

459
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,400
I gotta go.

460
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,060
I'll figure out
how to get the wire across.

461
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,401
- Yes!
- You figure out how to anchor the cavalettis.

462
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,648
- Okay. Deal.
- Do we have a deal?

463
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,420
The cavalettis cannot be vertical.

464
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,580
They must be horizontal,
parallel to the walk cable.

465
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,420
- Parallel?
- It won't be pretty

466
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,727
but it will keep the cable from swaying.

467
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,090
And you must use three bolts
on the cavaletti clamps.

468
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,931
Not two. A span this wide

469
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,620
will put tremendous pressure
on the brass plates.

470
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:58,405
And as you walk,
your weight could crack a bolt.

471
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,681
And wood!

472
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,100
You must remember

473
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,580
to put wood blocks

474
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,728
between the wire
and the building's struts.

475
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,364
That way, when the building breathe,

476
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:11,484
the wood will break but the wire won't

477
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,443
explode and tear you in half.

478
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,361
Okay.

479
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:17,161
Wood.

480
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:18,841
Also...

481
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,369
Here's what you're going
to do, Philippe.

482
00:38:23,240 --> 00:38:24,571
You're going to wear

483
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:26,820
a safety belt underneath your costume,

484
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,860
attached to a safety line,
connected to a carabiner.

485
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:30,961
A safety line?

486
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:32,540
A carabiner?

487
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,460
I'm not going to do this walk
with a safety line

488
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,060
- hanging off of me!
- From that height,

489
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,811
it will be invisible!
No one will have any idea!

490
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,180
And what do I do
when I get to the first cavaletti?

491
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:42,300
You're a performer.

492
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,460
You kneel down on the wire.

493
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,380
You unhook from side,
clip it on the other.

494
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,380
- The audience will think you are saluting.
- This I will not do!

495
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,721
- This I will never do!
- So why'd you come here?

496
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,300
Because you know so much?

497
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,540
You tell me I'm wrong?

498
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,140
No. Because I need you to tell me
how to rig this wire!

499
00:38:57,240 --> 00:38:59,925
Not do a phony walk like a coward!

500
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,300
Philippe, you two are
acting like children.

501
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,780
He does not comprehend
one thing I am trying to do.

502
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,580
His high wire and my high wire,
they have nothing in common!

503
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:10,940
Go talk to him.

504
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,180
- You want me to talk to him?
- Yes! You go talk to him!

505
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,020
- You apologize and...
- I will not apologize!

506
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,646
Yes, you do. You have no choice.
You know that.

507
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:38,609
Look, Papa Rudy, I'm sorry. But...

508
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,740
If I do the walk with the safety line,

509
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,842
it becomes meaningless.

510
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:44,487
Philippe...

511
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,526
My sons are consummate wire walkers.

512
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,460
And I would never allow them to attempt

513
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,642
such a walk without safety line.

514
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,726
Yes, but would you?

515
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,328
Would you walk with a safety line?

516
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,007
Years ago, when you first started
to teach me in this house,

517
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,780
I was a stupid little kid
and I never listened to you.

518
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,850
But you told me something
I always remember.

519
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,245
You said, "You cannot lie on stage.

520
00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:30,244
"The audience will always know
what is inside your heart."

521
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,330
I think I understand now.

522
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,044
You know, Philippe,

523
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,162
what you're doing,
I may not understand it.

524
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:47,886
But it's...

525
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:50,881
It's...

526
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,601
something.

527
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,685
Something beautiful.

528
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,570
It was my grandfather's.

529
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,680
You'll need this.

530
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,723
And you'll need this.

531
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,531
Now my secrets are our secrets.

532
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,205
Thank you.

533
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:48,641
Faster!

534
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:49,900
Stronger!

535
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,526
More! Annie, more!

536
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,681
Faster.

537
00:41:55,720 --> 00:41:56,881
Stronger.

538
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,660
- I'm trying.
- You're a tempest.

539
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,500
You are the terrible, hurricane winds

540
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,001
that howl between the towers!

541
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:08,201
Jean-Louis.

542
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:12,460
Hello.

543
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,449
- How are you?
- Hello, hello!

544
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,900
It's good to see you.

545
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,340
So this is my good friend,
Jean-Francois.

546
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,044
He wants to be an accomplice
in the coup.

547
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,965
He's always in search of adventure.

548
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:30,540
Please call me Jeff.

549
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,660
An English name. Okay, I like this.

550
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,127
So welcome, Jeff. Welcome to the coup.

551
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:37,083
- Now, tell me, have you ever done...
- Unfortunately,

552
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:38,486
Jeff doesn't speak any English.

553
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,489
I speak a little English.

554
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,140
Six times six equal 36, for example.

555
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:45,980
Yes! So his English is not bad.

556
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,420
Yes, but only numbers.

557
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,329
He teaches high school mathematics.

558
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:51,806
He's also...

559
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,850
He's also terrified of heights.

560
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,561
Perfect.

561
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,605
I'm terrified of algebra.

562
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,170
Welcome to the coup.

563
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,929
Now tell me, what is 81 divided by 27?

564
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,060
- Three.
- Exactly.

565
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,860
And you are accomplice number three.

566
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,060
Now, what is 11 times 10?

567
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,161
One hundred and ten.

568
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,380
110 stories.
That's how tall the towers are.

569
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,620
Hey, guys? I believe I've kept
my part of the bargain.

570
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:24,085
What is this, a bow and arrow?

571
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:28,260
Okay, this is not as sensational
as a radio-control airplane,

572
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,805
but it's a lot quieter.

573
00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:56,300
It works! It works!

574
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,900
So now, I have enough money,
I have my accomplices,

575
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,940
I have somewhat of a plan.

576
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,929
The only thing left
was selecting a date.

577
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,170
It had to be before the weather turned cold
and before the towers were completed.

578
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,740
So I chose August 6th.

579
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,047
I choose August 6th!

580
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,340
That is three months from today.

581
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,180
Jeff and Jean-Louis fly to New York
at the end of July.

582
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,567
In the meantime, we start looking
for American accomplices.

583
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,401
So. August 6th.

584
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,940
Polypropylene ropes, hemp ropes,
small block-and-tackle with three sheaves,

585
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,180
large block-and-tackle
with single sheaf,

586
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,980
slings, steel wire, quarter-inch cable,

587
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:35,900
pulley blocks, construction gloves,

588
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,380
monkey wrenches, tape measure.

589
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,340
And a balancing pole in four sections.

590
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,660
And, what's all this for?

591
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,180
I'm going to hang a high wire

592
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,340
between the two towers
of the World Trade Center

593
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:48,566
and walk on it.

594
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:52,601
Good luck!

595
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,286
Next!

596
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,380
As soon as we got back to New York,
I started my spy work.

597
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,700
I went to the towers every day.
Sometimes 6:00 in the morning.

598
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,087
And every day,
I would wear a different disguise.

599
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,420
I took photos of everything.

600
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,364
I made detailed notes
of every inch of the towers.

601
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,460
As you know, the North Tower
has been completely finished

602
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:27,780
for the last two years,

603
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,700
and the South Tower
is completed up to the 80th floor.

604
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,220
- Both towers are open for business.
- Mr. Tozzoli, excuse me.

605
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,380
Toulouse Cezanne
from the magazine L'Architecte.

606
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:36,980
Could you please tell me
the exact distance between

607
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,380
the north corner of the South Tower
and the south corner of the North Tower?

608
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:41,540
The what?

609
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,325
The exact distance between the towers?

610
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:46,561
Lou?

611
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,011
A hundred and forty feet.

612
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:49,481
A hundred and forty feet.

613
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,860
I rode all the elevators.
The local, the express,

614
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:02,980
the express to the upper sky lobby,
the express to the lower sky lobby.

615
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,420
I took hundreds of rides.

616
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,420
I spied on the maintenance men,
the loading docks.

617
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,740
I watched the freight trucks
as they made their deliveries.

618
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,900
What time do they arrive?
How long do they stay?

619
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,843
How much paperwork is exchanged?

620
00:46:16,240 --> 00:46:18,766
My greatest disguise
was that of an architect.

621
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,620
I wore a tie and carried a blueprint,
and I tried to look important.

622
00:46:21,720 --> 00:46:24,291
And this gave me access to
everything under construction.

623
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,780
Philippe, that looks really bad.

624
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,940
Maybe you should go to the hospital
and get it stitched.

625
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,100
No, it will be fine.
But look at the date!

626
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,700
The coup is three weeks from today.

627
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,940
Jean-Louis and Jeff arrive next week

628
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,566
and I still have no access to
the North Tower roof.

629
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,460
Are you going to be able to
walk on the wire with that foot?

630
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,140
Yes, it will heal by then,
but what am I going to do tomorrow?

631
00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:56,700
How am I going to continue my spy work
with this ruined foot?

632
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,300
- Do you need crutches?
- No, I don't need crutches.

633
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,244
Yes! Crutches!

634
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,205
- Let me get that door for you.
- Thank you.

635
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:12,420
Hey, there, let me help you
with them crutches.

636
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:13,521
Thank you.

637
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,500
Here you go, sir.

638
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,364
- Express elevator.
- Thank you.

639
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:18,780
I hope you heal up soon.

640
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,247
Yes, I think I'll feel much better
in a few weeks.

641
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,165
- Floor?
- Yes, 85, please.

642
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,170
Pardon me, but...

643
00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:34,287
May I ask...

644
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,445
What are you doing here?

645
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,284
You don't belong here.

646
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,804
Yes, in fact, I'm quite right.

647
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:45,727
You...

648
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:48,083
You don't belong here at all.

649
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:50,287
Do you...

650
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:52,401
Philippe?

651
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,180
I knew it! Philippe Petit.

652
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,044
Daredevil wire walker.

653
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,940
I saw you in Paris on top of
the Notre-Dame Cathedral.

654
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,963
- Yes!
- Yes, wow.

655
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,620
You know, the cops had absolutely
no idea what to do with you.

656
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:06,926
They never do.

657
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,580
- Barry. Barry Greenhouse is my name.
- Hello.

658
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:11,700
Yeah.

659
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,140
So, you gonna be performing
here in New York?

660
00:48:14,240 --> 00:48:17,323
Yes, yes. And you, do you work here?

661
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:18,687
Yeah.

662
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,121
Life insurance.

663
00:48:21,240 --> 00:48:23,720
This man works on the 82nd floor.

664
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,460
But this could be very important
if I can somehow

665
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,340
seduce him into becoming an accomplice.

666
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,900
He works in the North Tower.

667
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,980
He has access to the stairwell and

668
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,809
the North Tower roof.

669
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,580
Wait! Barry! One moment!

670
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,411
So Annie and I invite him to dinner.

671
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:43,060
Notre-Dame, the coup at
World Trade Center will be very similar.

672
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,940
I bring my book of spy work
and my clippings from Notre-Dame

673
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:47,660
which he had already witnessed,

674
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:49,380
so he knew I was serious.

675
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,340
And little by little,
I paint for him, a picture.

676
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,523
And when the sun comes up...

677
00:48:58,480 --> 00:48:59,481
I walk.

678
00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:04,530
Well, it's certainly illegal,
that's for sure.

679
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,602
And extremely subversive,
not to mention dangerous.

680
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,940
This is something only a twisted,
antisocial, anarchistic,

681
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,522
pissed-off malcontent
would have anything to do with!

682
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,882
You have your inside man!

683
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,481
Philippe!

684
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,726
Welcome. Welcome, Jeff.

685
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,460
Very good. How are you?

686
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:34,780
- Super.
- Good.

687
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,325
- My friend.
- Hey.

688
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:39,087
Very good.

689
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,968
So, there they are.

690
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,460
Philippe, the coup is a disaster.

691
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,460
Why are we waiting for night
to climb to the roof?

692
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,020
Because during the day,
we are more likely to run into people.

693
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,700
But at night, when someone sees us,
we have no excuse to be there.

694
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:57,660
No, but during the day,
we will certainly run into some people

695
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,020
and they will ask us where we are going.

696
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,260
During the day, you say,
"I'm going to such and such office

697
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,011
"to see so and so!"
But at night, you have no excuse.

698
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,685
Why are you shaking?

699
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,450
I told you I'm afraid of heights.

700
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,045
Afraid at this height?

701
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,887
I panic on a step stool.

702
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,700
And what about the guards?

703
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,180
There is one guard at night.

704
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,540
He stays only on
the floors under construction.

705
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,340
We'll have no problem avoiding him.

706
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:23,820
- And he never goes to the roof.
- Philippe.

707
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,287
- Philippe, where are you going?
- We need to get an interphone.

708
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:28,726
This is what you want.

709
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,020
You want a walkie-talkie.

710
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,820
No, I want an interphone
like this one with the wire.

711
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:34,900
- Like this one?
- Yes.

712
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,002
- This thing here? You don't want that.
- Yes, please.

713
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,620
This thing here with the wire?
That's old-fashioned.

714
00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:41,060
What you want... Look at this.

715
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,580
- Wireless.
- No. Please, I just want this interphone.

716
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:44,700
- Like this, okay?
- Okay, buddy.

717
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,020
You're not listening to me
'cause I'm trying to do you a favor here.

718
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,282
This thing is discontinued,
which means I can't get you a warranty.

719
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,166
I don't care. I want this one.
With the wire. Please.

720
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,460
Yes. Whatever you want.

721
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,130
- Thank you. Okay.
- You're the boss.

722
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,325
- Does he think we're a bunch of suckers?
- He's trying to con us.

723
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,207
What's wrong with a walkie-talkie?

724
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:07,086
We need a wire
so the cops can't listen in.

725
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:10,180
Hey guys.

726
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:11,620
If you're planning a drug deal...

727
00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:13,100
or robbing a bank...

728
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:14,201
be careful.

729
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,009
You guys thought you were the only ones
who spoke French in New York City.

730
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:21,966
I got it.

731
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,060
It's okay. By the way,

732
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,162
I have nothing against bank robbers.

733
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,524
I say we invite him to dinner.

734
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:35,161
I'm Philippe.

735
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:36,521
I'm Jean-Pierre.

736
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,286
It's J.P. in America.

737
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,206
J.P.,

738
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,260
welcome to the
Fisher Industrial Fence Company

739
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:44,771
of Fort Lee, New Jersey.

740
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:46,580
Looks like the real thing.

741
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,540
- Who made this?
- It's a long story.

742
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,420
I'll bet. So, do I get a job title?

743
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,100
Yes, because you've
lived in New York the longest,

744
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,060
I'll make you Personnel Director.

745
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,300
That's cool, man. I like that.
What do I gotta do?

746
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:57,845
Find more accomplices.

747
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:01,607
I got just the guys.

748
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,365
I can help you rig a wire.

749
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,740
I'm unbelievable at tying knots.

750
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:07,171
Used to work on a shrimp boat.

751
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,046
Yeah, man, yeah.
I mean, count me in, too.

752
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,648
Especially if that wire is really...

753
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:14,525
Really high.

754
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:15,980
You get it?

755
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,740
You get it, man, really high!

756
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,300
Why the World Trade Towers?

757
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:21,900
Everybody I know hates those ugly boxes.

758
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,243
They look like two big filing cabinets.

759
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:26,620
Hey, right on.

760
00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:29,769
You know what? Why don't we climb
the Chrysler building, man?

761
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:31,060
That'd be a trip, right?

762
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:32,207
This is bad.

763
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:33,811
I don't trust these two.

764
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:37,121
J.P.

765
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:40,764
Can we count on these guys?

766
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,365
I had short notice.

767
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:43,500
It's them...

768
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:44,681
or two bums off the street.

769
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,245
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
The coup is on for tomorrow!

770
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:55,980
Tomorrow is the big day!

771
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,980
You all know the plan. The workers
start to arrive at 7:00 a.m.,

772
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,606
so I must be on the wire at 6:00 a.m.
You're not listening.

773
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,220
Why is nobody listening to me
when I talk? Are you paying attention?

774
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:06,340
Philippe, you should eat.

775
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:07,601
Eat?
How can I eat?

776
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,091
We have to go over the plan!

777
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:11,727
We've gone over
the plan 20 times already.

778
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,450
Well, here comes number 21.

779
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:20,020
At 2:00 p.m.,
we load the van.J.P. drives.

780
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,220
We drop Jean-Louis, Annie
and Albert at the North Tower.

781
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:24,560
You rendezvous with Barry.

782
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,660
He hides you on his floor
until he can sneak you up

783
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,340
in the stairwell to the roof.

784
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,540
The rest of us, that's you, J.P.,
you, Jeff, you, David,

785
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,020
in our workers disguises,

786
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,260
we bring the walk cable
and the rigging equipment

787
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,380
up in the construction elevator.

788
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:38,980
According to my spy work,
we should be able to

789
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,100
get up to the 82nd floor.

790
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,168
Then when the coast is clear,
and as fast as we can,

791
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,860
we bring everything up to the roof
and we start rigging.

792
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:47,660
By midnight, we are finished!

793
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,380
Do you hear me? At midnight!

794
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,927
This gives me the time to sneak over
to the North Tower and check the rigging.

795
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:57,060
Because I must have time
to check the rigging on both towers.

796
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,970
Then at dawn, 6:00 a.m.,

797
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:01,845
I take my first step.

798
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:08,131
- Philippe.
- Yes.

799
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,220
- I think we should wait.
- No!

800
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,482
To find more competent associates.

801
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,126
It is now or never.

802
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:27,880
The carrots are cooked.

803
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:40,521
Cooked carrots?

804
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,060
- What the hell is that about?
- The French.

805
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:44,400
They love their culinary metaphors.

806
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,648
This is a country with
365 different types of cheese,

807
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,180
one for every day of the year,
for Christ's sake.

808
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:49,964
So, of course they use
the vegetable metaphor.

809
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:53,560
Carrots are cooked.

810
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,180
Die is cast. There's no going back now.

811
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:57,620
Guys, what are we doing here?

812
00:54:57,720 --> 00:55:01,725
Listen, I think what we're doing is cool
but I do not want to go to jail.

813
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,448
Especially not because of some French guy
who's obsessed with vegetables.

814
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,940
Jail. Man, that's a buzzkill, man.

815
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,646
The man is obviously crazy. So, what?

816
00:55:12,240 --> 00:55:14,083
Are we just here to watch him die?

817
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,340
Does he even know
how to walk a tightrope?

818
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,620
He knows how to walk on a wire.
That's not the problem.

819
00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:21,020
The problem is he's losing his mind.

820
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:22,820
He's maybe losing his mind,
but he won't give up.

821
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:24,060
He never gives up.

822
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:25,340
He just needs our help.

823
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:26,805
I think he can do this.

824
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,408
It will be very... Beau?

825
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,647
- Beautiful.
- Yeah.

826
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:38,050
It will be very, beautiful.

827
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,763
It was the night before the coup
and, of course, I couldn't sleep.

828
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,180
I had forgotten something
very important.

829
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:14,170
I'd forgotten to nail shut the coffin.

830
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:20,300
Actually, there was no coffin.

831
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,180
It was the crate holding the walk cable.

832
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,682
But, in my mind,
I had changed this crate into a coffin.

833
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:28,527
Philippe!

834
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:31,300
What are you doing? You're waking up
the whole neighborhood.

835
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:32,811
Well, I forgot to nail shut the coffin.

836
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:34,940
Stop calling it that!

837
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:36,660
A coffin is what this may be.

838
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,100
That's not funny. What's wrong with you?

839
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:40,340
Do you have a death wish or something?

840
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,966
Don't say this word!
I never say this word.

841
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:45,420
Come on! Death, coffin, die.

842
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,060
- It's all the same thing.
- Why are you doing this?

843
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:48,730
Why are you suddenly against me?

844
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,020
Against you?

845
00:56:50,120 --> 00:56:51,420
No one is more supportive.

846
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:52,900
Then why do you say this word?

847
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,260
Why do you put this thought in my head

848
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,060
on the night before
my most dangerous walk?

849
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,004
- Why are you so uncaring?
- Uncaring?

850
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:03,660
- You're the most selfish, arrogant...
- Yes, I'm arrogant! I have to be.

851
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,740
To walk on the wire,
to command the wire!

852
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,420
And what about your partners?
Your accomplices?

853
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,460
You don't offer them a simple thank you
to let them know they're appreciated!

854
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,131
- They know I appreciate them!
- Do they?

855
00:57:14,240 --> 00:57:16,004
Yes! What do you want me to do?
Go in there right now

856
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:17,100
and tell them thank you?

857
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,885
I can wake them up and say
"Thank you, everybody! Merci!"

858
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,580
- Just come to bed. You're exhausted.
- Annie.

859
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,684
My head is full of doubts.
I don't know if...

860
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,420
When I confront the void,
when it's time to step on the wire,

861
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,488
I don't know if I'll be able to
take my first step.

862
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,203
Your heart will tell you what to do.

863
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:41,201
Annie.

864
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,060
You're the only one that truly knows me.

865
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,820
It's because of you
that I can do this walk.

866
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,700
You give me the strength
and the ability.

867
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:50,370
Without you, I couldn't do it.

868
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:54,401
You'll be fine.

869
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:18,620
Everybody, wake up!

870
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,529
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

871
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,260
There's something I have to tell you
that I have not said before.

872
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:24,660
It's important.

873
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,842
Thank you. Merci.

874
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,767
Now get some rest.
We have a big day tomorrow.

875
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,441
You see?

876
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:36,920
He's lost his mind.

877
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:39,087
What?

878
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,220
Now as soon as we are all
loaded into the van,

879
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,290
I think to myself,
"Okay, now it starts."

880
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,928
The coup has begun.

881
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,850
My life is no longer in my command.

882
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,420
North Tower Plaza!

883
00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:26,220
Come on, make it snappy.
I'm in a red zone.

884
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,500
With the help of Barry, our inside man,

885
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,420
we unload Albert and Jean-Louis
at the North Tower.

886
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,980
The plan was for Barry to hide them
in his office until nightfall.

887
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:36,127
Red zone.

888
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:38,940
Goodbye.

889
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,041
Red zone.

890
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:41,161
See you soon.

891
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:43,806
I love you.

892
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,331
I love you, too.

893
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:00,122
Albert and Jean-Louis
both dress like impeccable architects.

894
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,900
They carry attaché cases that are heavy
because they're carrying equipment.

895
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,482
And they carry a blueprint tube
that contains the bow and arrow.

896
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,580
I feel the incline of the ramp
as we drive down

897
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,420
into the loading dock of the South Tower

898
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:17,047
and I knew,
I knew we would be caught right there!

899
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,409
Hold it right there, cowboy.

900
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,044
You guys keep quiet back there.

901
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:25,420
What's your business?

902
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:27,204
Just another delivery.
Fisher Fence Company.

903
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,620
Fisher Fence Company?
What the hell's the Fisher Fence Company?

904
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,324
We put in the perimeter
fence months ago.

905
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,489
Now they want us to come back in,
tear it down and redo it.

906
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,531
All right. Down the ramp.
Medium freight loading area.

907
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,042
That cop seemed really suspicious.

908
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:45,321
I almost crapped my pants.

909
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,082
You can get more in there.

910
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,860
- Hey! Hey! No way! No way!
- No. No. No.

911
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,300
We got a delivery to the 82nd floor,

912
01:00:58,400 --> 01:00:59,580
Fisher Fence Company.
It's all right here...

913
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,020
No, No. Only Met
deliveries are going up.

914
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,180
They've got all the elevators leased today.
Come back next week.

915
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,328
- Next week?
- Yeah. Next week.

916
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:09,489
All right, come on. Go home.

917
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:10,980
Did you hear?

918
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,162
The elevators are rented.
It's impossible today.

919
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,660
We're not moving.
Change his mind.

920
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:17,524
We take a pause. Worker's pause.

921
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,460
Hey, excuse me, sir. Before I get
outta your hair, can I get your name?

922
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:23,660
Frank Cielani.

923
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:25,340
- Is that Sicilian?
- It's Calabrese.

924
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,420
Good. Cause I got these Sicilian neighbors.
They live two floors below me.

925
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,180
They're always cooking calamari.
It stinks my place up to high hell.

926
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:32,770
It'll do that.

927
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,980
Can you believe this S.O.B. Nixon?

928
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,860
If it was up to me, that son of a bitch
would be in jail rest of his life.

929
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,140
You sound just like my old man.

930
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,300
He said this country went to hell
in a handbasket the day Kennedy got shot.

931
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:44,740
That's for goddamn sure.

932
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,889
- What'd you say your name was?
- J.P. I was named afterJ.P. Morgan.

933
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,805
So I sit there helpless,
watching these workers.

934
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:05,860
And in my agitated mind,

935
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,964
it looks like these workers
are moving like snails.

936
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:18,281
Good night, boys.

937
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,003
Big day. Have a good one.

938
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:24,650
You wallflowers still here?

939
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:27,740
Look, Mr. Cielani,
I'm gonna level with you.

940
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:29,340
If we don't make this delivery,
we're gonna get fired,

941
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:31,920
and Phil here,
he's a dead duck for sure.

942
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,601
- What do you got? Where're you going?
- 82nd floor.

943
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,522
Hey, Jimmy!
Take these frogs up to the 82nd floor.

944
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,804
- You're kidding me, right?
- Come on. It's your last ride, okay?

945
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,300
- Okay.
- Thank you, sir. Appreciate it...

946
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,084
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on. Quitting time!

947
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,420
- Which floor?
- We're going to the...

948
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:01,885
The 110th floor.

949
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,780
110? There's nothing up there.
That's just the mechanical floor.

950
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,420
Yes, but it is perfect for us.
We need to be close to the roof.

951
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,363
The roof? Why the roof?

952
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,260
Because we have
all the pieces for the antenna.

953
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:14,441
- The antenna.
- And the antenna mast.

954
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,460
- The antenna mast.
- And the electrified security fence.

955
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:18,460
We have all the components
for the insulators.

956
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:19,780
Insulators. We have to measure...

957
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,340
Yes, until we measure,
we cannot install any of the wiring.

958
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:23,820
The aerial system.
We're four months behind.

959
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:24,900
It's a big problem.

960
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:26,764
Whatever. Just watch your fingers.

961
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:36,881
Okay, J.P.

962
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,448
When we get to the 110th floor,
we'll throw the equipment out.

963
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:42,484
You get this guy down.

964
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:51,561
We've had a lucky break.

965
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,300
This elevator is taking us
to the 110th floor.

966
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,940
But this means that J.P.
has to get this elevator operator back down.

967
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,327
If he stays with us,
the coup is finished.

968
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:05,846
110th.

969
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,771
Jimmy. Really appreciate this, man.

970
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:19,100
Hey, let me buy you a beer.

971
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:21,580
These guys, they gotta offload.
They got tons of inventory to do.

972
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,047
It's gonna take them forever.
They'll find their way home.

973
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,809
- Whatever. Watch your fingers.
- All right.

974
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,420
Kommedas. What is that, Greek?

975
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,888
I got a Greek guy living two floors
below me, always eating lamb.

976
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:36,370
Nothing but lamb.

977
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:47,881
Oh, man.
This is becoming a real bummer, man.

978
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:51,121
We unload here.

979
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:54,807
Okay.

980
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,444
- Okay.
- Oh, man.

981
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,771
We take the cable first. If anyone stops us,
we tell them it's the antenna guylines.

982
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:13,688
- This shit is really heavy, man.
- Quiet.

983
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:16,250
I mean, like, really heavy.

984
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:19,171
Like heavy heavy, not bullshit heavy.

985
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,648
Oh, man. This scene is giving me
really bad vibes, man.

986
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:25,740
Oh, shit.

987
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:27,740
Oh, shit, it's the pigs!

988
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,620
- Oh, man, the pigs are here, man!
- Hide, hide, hide.

989
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,371
Oh, man. Oh, man. The jig is up, man.

990
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:36,083
Oh, man. Oh, man.
This is freaking me out, man.

991
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:37,406
It's just down there.

992
01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:39,643
- It's okay.
- I can't do this, man.

993
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,380
I am wigging out, man.

994
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,300
Okay, just listen. We don't need you.
You go. Okay?

995
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:46,890
- I'll go.
- Go.

996
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:48,580
No, that stairwell.

997
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,340
No, that stairway to the 82nd floor.

998
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,460
To the 82nd floor, there's an elevator.

999
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:56,620
Listen, man. Look, I really want to help you
guys do something radical.

1000
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,260
Okay, man? But, you know...
Oh, man!

1001
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,250
Oh, man. I'm shagging ass, man.

1002
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,660
Our only hope is maybe
this guard will move to another floor

1003
01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,047
or maybe once it gets dark
we'll sneak past him.

1004
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:01,766
But I must admit, by this time,

1005
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,731
I was very worried
the coup was over already.

1006
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:09,165
Hey, Annie!

1007
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,045
- Hey, I've been looking all over for you.
- Is everything okay?

1008
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,340
We hit a little snag,
but I think everything's all right.

1009
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:15,521
Okay.

1010
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:33,450
Jesus Christ.

1011
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,561
I can't believe
they don't gate this shaft.

1012
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,570
Somebody's gonna get killed.

1013
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,980
So there we sit, balancing
on this steel l-beam for an eternity.

1014
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,260
And the worst part,
the most painful part

1015
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,489
was our heavy construction shoes
killing our feet.

1016
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,529
I see the walkie-talkie,
but I don't see the guard.

1017
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,208
So what does this mean?
Is the guard gone?

1018
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,260
Is he still there,
just standing outside of my view?

1019
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,443
He wouldn't leave his
walkie-talkie unattended, would he?

1020
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:37,801
I turn to Jeff

1021
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:40,900
and I see the terror on Jeff's face.

1022
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:44,020
And his terror begins
to seep into my mind.

1023
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:47,602
And I start to conjure
these hideous thoughts myself.

1024
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,740
Time passes. I keep looking and looking

1025
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,900
and this walkie-talkie just sits there
and I'm wondering,

1026
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,322
"What is going on with this security guard
and his walkie-talkie?

1027
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:12,370
"Is he just playing with me?

1028
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,140
"Is he waiting for me to come out
so he can laugh at me?

1029
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:16,241
"Is he asleep?"

1030
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:20,685
Then about an hour after nightfall...

1031
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:33,321
He's gone.

1032
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:10,366
Is the guard gone?

1033
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,086
I don't see him.

1034
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:16,689
Three hours behind schedule.

1035
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:49,460
What's wrong with him?

1036
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:50,540
I don't know.

1037
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:52,130
Could be on drugs.

1038
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,004
Or he's dead.

1039
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:18,690
Look! He made it.

1040
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:22,601
He's ready to shoot!

1041
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,001
Watch the guard.

1042
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,660
Jean-Louis and I had worked out
some hand signals.

1043
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,460
So now he was telling me he's ready
to shoot the arrow.

1044
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,803
He's supposed to signal,
and then five seconds later, he shoots.

1045
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,371
But after five seconds, nothing happens.

1046
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:52,260
I listen for the sound of the arrow hitting,
but I hear nothing.

1047
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,060
I look around. I see nothing.

1048
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,401
I think maybe the arrow
has flown too far.

1049
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:01,220
So I wave my arms around hoping
I'll feel this invisible fishing line,

1050
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,288
but I feel nothing.

1051
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:19,926
Philippe!
What the hell are you doing?

1052
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:21,440
Looking for the fishing line!

1053
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:25,361
So I take off my clothes, thinking
that with more surface of bare skin

1054
01:13:25,480 --> 01:13:28,290
I'll have a greater chance of feeling
this fishing line.

1055
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:29,641
Can I help?

1056
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:31,485
No!
Watch the guard!

1057
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:38,081
No, no, no.

1058
01:13:58,640 --> 01:13:59,641
Philippe!

1059
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:04,728
The guard is gone!

1060
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,100
So, I throw my clothes back on

1061
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,204
and we run our gear up to the roof
as fast as we can.

1062
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:35,530
Listen, I think we should get some rest
and come back before sunrise.

1063
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:36,780
You go. I'm staying.

1064
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:38,564
- All night?
- Yeah.

1065
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:40,860
Annie, there's nothing
you can do from down here.

1066
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,340
Either Philippe is gonna pull this off
or he's not.

1067
01:14:43,440 --> 01:14:44,660
Besides, you look really suspicious

1068
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,127
standing out here with some binoculars
hanging around your neck.

1069
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:48,921
Well, I'll keep moving.

1070
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,244
- It's New York City. It's dangerous.
- I'll be fine.

1071
01:14:56,440 --> 01:14:58,568
Wonder if Philippe knows
you're still out here.

1072
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:05,411
I'll bring you a donut in the morning.

1073
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:07,081
Thank you.

1074
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:40,888
Okay, good. He marked it.

1075
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:54,961
Jean-Louis's mark!

1076
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:04,780
Hello, hello, Jean-Louis.
How do you hear me?

1077
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:06,120
Loud and clear.

1078
01:16:06,480 --> 01:16:08,881
Okay, good. We have communication.
I'm going to measure the rope

1079
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:11,048
to find out where to put the cavalettis.

1080
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:12,161
Here.

1081
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,927
But, whatever you do...

1082
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:17,805
I'll guard it with my life.

1083
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,164
Garbowski, you awake?

1084
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:21,361
That's very funny.

1085
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,251
I need you to check
something down on 37th.

1086
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:25,925
Yeah? What do you got?

1087
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:29,362
How's about a pepperoni and sausage
with extra cheese?

1088
01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:31,721
Now you're talking.

1089
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:55,006
That was close.

1090
01:17:56,440 --> 01:17:57,566
We need an alarm signal.

1091
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:15,660
Fine Okay. I bolted
the cavalettis in place.

1092
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:17,620
We're ready to pass across the wire.
Are you ready?

1093
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:18,801
Yes.

1094
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,605
Okay, first I pass the heavy rope,
then the walk cable.

1095
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:30,780
We got the rope.

1096
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:32,564
Okay, we're sending the cable.

1097
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:14,891
Okay, okay.

1098
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:26,649
Hold it. Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!

1099
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:26,970
We have a problem.

1100
01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:30,080
We will do everything we can
to pull up the cable.

1101
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,761
It's only a few hours before daylight.

1102
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:37,684
We will do everything we can.

1103
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:54,604
Philippe, this is crazy.
We're never going to finish at this rate.

1104
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,364
Yes, we will. We will finish.

1105
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:58,484
No, we're not! We're not!

1106
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:00,100
We're all gonna get caught
and go to jail.

1107
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:01,340
And I don't want to go to jail.

1108
01:21:01,440 --> 01:21:03,020
And the rigging isn't safe.

1109
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,964
I'm not gonna watch you fall.
I'm leaving, okay. I quit.

1110
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:08,980
Okay, Albert, listen to me.
Yes, I agree with you, okay?

1111
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,260
And if the rigging is not done
by daylight

1112
01:21:11,360 --> 01:21:15,126
and if the rigging is not safe,
then I'll give up.

1113
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:30,322
Hey, look who made it through the night.

1114
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:33,280
- I got you a donut.
- Thank you.

1115
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:35,485
Hey, the wire's up!

1116
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:37,490
Yeah, but it's not tight yet.

1117
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:39,760
Something's wrong.

1118
01:21:44,480 --> 01:21:45,700
Philippe, are you there?

1119
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:47,325
Yes, yes, I'm here.

1120
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:50,649
The good news is the cable is tied off
and secured on this end.

1121
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,060
The bad news is Albert has quit.

1122
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,940
Albert has quit. He said the sun
is rising and the coup is off.

1123
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:58,580
Wait, did you put wood between
the anchor points and the cable?

1124
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:01,001
Philippe, did you hear me?
Albert is on strike.

1125
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,060
He will no longer lift
a finger to help me.

1126
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,180
Not only that, he smuggled
a camera up here

1127
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,044
and he's going to take pictures
and sell them.

1128
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,365
I knew it.
I told you I knew we couldn't trust him.

1129
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:14,601
Well my friend... it's just you and me.

1130
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:20,766
And one more thing, you will always
be my Photograph Official.

1131
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:30,486
It's working!

1132
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,403
The cable's moving!

1133
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:43,571
He's going for it.

1134
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,049
Look. It's moving up.

1135
01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,484
The wheel!

1136
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,124
Come on!
I need your help!

1137
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,041
The elevator is on its way up!
The workers will be here any moment!

1138
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:21,760
Follow me!
We have to tighten the cavalettis!

1139
01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:23,644
Philippe, I can't do that!

1140
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:25,765
Jeff, I'm begging you!

1141
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,161
If you don't help now, the coup is over.

1142
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:30,603
I can't do that.

1143
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:31,860
Don't look down.

1144
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:32,961
Don't think about it.

1145
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:34,081
Come on.

1146
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:35,681
Help me review.

1147
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,048
- Seven times seven?
- Forty nine.

1148
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:40,364
Nine times eight?

1149
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:42,443
- Seventy two.
- Okay.

1150
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:44,921
Watch.

1151
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:49,580
Turn this way.

1152
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:50,761
Okay.

1153
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:56,803
Stay here.
I'll tighten the next one.

1154
01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:58,971
Don't leave me!

1155
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:06,441
- Seven times eight!
- Fifty-six.

1156
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:11,042
- Ninety six divided by eight!
- Twelve!

1157
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:16,970
Let's go!

1158
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:22,803
You did great.
Thank you.

1159
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:25,330
The wheel.

1160
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:21,801
What were you going to do with that?

1161
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:23,281
With what?

1162
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:32,290
And that was the moment in my adventure
I call, "The Mysterious Visitor."

1163
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,844
I have no idea who he is.
I've never seen him again.

1164
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:38,807
And I can only imagine
what he must have thought.

1165
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:49,380
Now it's time for me
to put on my costume.

1166
01:26:49,480 --> 01:26:51,180
But I have to do this privately,

1167
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:53,700
so my dressing room is the very ledge
of the building.

1168
01:26:53,800 --> 01:26:56,420
Not visible from the streets
of Manhattan.

1169
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:59,649
The dressing room is also something
that Papa Rudy taught me.

1170
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,300
This is where the transformation
takes place.

1171
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:04,482
This is where the disguised impostor,

1172
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:07,451
the intruder, becomes the performer.

1173
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:09,325
The artist.

1174
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:12,327
Oh, my God! He's falling!

1175
01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:17,484
No, it's just his shirt.

1176
01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:19,764
It's just his shirt.

1177
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,002
Hey. Nothing yet, huh?

1178
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:27,126
Well, he better get cracking.

1179
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,768
I lost my costume!

1180
01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:38,140
This is a tragedy!

1181
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:39,980
The biggest stage of my life,
and I lose my costume!

1182
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:41,900
It falls off the edge.
I have no costume!

1183
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:42,980
What?

1184
01:27:43,080 --> 01:27:44,206
I lost my turtleneck!

1185
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:45,845
This is not my costume!

1186
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:48,361
What should we do?

1187
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:54,931
We do it. We do it anyway.

1188
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:58,044
I walk in this ridiculous undershirt,
but we do it.

1189
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,769
I have one foot on the building
and one foot on the wire.

1190
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:06,443
And the outside world
starts to disappear.

1191
01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:18,489
Jeff no longer existed.

1192
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,407
My tower was deserted.

1193
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:38,085
I no longer heard the sounds
of New York.

1194
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,569
Everything fell silent.

1195
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:45,482
All I could see was the wire,

1196
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:49,328
floating out in a straight line
to infinity.

1197
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:58,287
And if I were to shift my weight,

1198
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,201
I would become a wire walker.

1199
01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:18,525
As soon as my entire weight
is on the cable,

1200
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:22,208
I feel immediately a feeling
I know by heart.

1201
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:25,081
I feel the wire supporting me.

1202
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:27,806
I feel the towers supporting the wire.

1203
01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:30,128
Oh, my God! He's doing it.

1204
01:31:30,280 --> 01:31:33,727
He's doing it! Do you see? Oh, my God!

1205
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:35,763
He's doing it!

1206
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:40,980
Everybody! Everybody stop! Look!
There's a wire walker!

1207
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:42,020
There!

1208
01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:46,091
Yes! Yes! Yes! You did it!

1209
01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:11,920
I approach the first cavaletti,
and it's upside down.

1210
01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:18,409
But I look closer and it seems okay.

1211
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:29,724
Thank you, Papa Rudy,
for suggesting the three bolts.

1212
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:52,248
Watch the birdie, Philippe.

1213
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:02,886
Philippe.

1214
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:07,808
Come on, Philippe. You're doing it.
You're doing it, Philippe.

1215
01:33:26,040 --> 01:33:28,247
Oh, my God!

1216
01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:32,620
That's brilliant!

1217
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:34,420
I arrive at the North Tower

1218
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:37,340
feeling the most intense joy,

1219
01:33:37,440 --> 01:33:41,525
the most profound satisfaction
I've ever felt in my life.

1220
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:46,045
Philippe! Come on, Philippe.
Philippe, okay. Yeah, working man. Okay.

1221
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:49,100
All right, now over your right shoulder?

1222
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:50,770
Philippe, smile.

1223
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:58,041
My friend, thank you.

1224
01:34:19,440 --> 01:34:23,206
I had finished my crossing,
the coup was over.

1225
01:34:24,560 --> 01:34:27,086
But then I looked over
at the South Tower

1226
01:34:28,240 --> 01:34:30,083
and it was still calling to me.

1227
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:37,649
So I'm thinking,

1228
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:41,002
maybe I should get back on my wire.

1229
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:45,120
He's coming back out.

1230
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:28,020
And then I feel something

1231
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:31,966
that maybe I've never truly felt before.

1232
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:37,685
I feel thankful.

1233
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:46,540
So, I get down on one knee

1234
01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:47,971
and I salute.

1235
01:35:49,040 --> 01:35:51,247
First, I salute the wire,

1236
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:54,168
then the towers,

1237
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:58,966
and then I salute the great city
of New York.

1238
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:28,260
Then, as I stand, I see two uniforms.

1239
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:29,805
The cops.

1240
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:33,006
Christ Almighty, what the hell is that?

1241
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:35,700
Cuff him.

1242
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:37,540
Hey! Get your hands on your head.

1243
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:38,820
Get down! Get down!

1244
01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:40,729
Get your hands on your head. Down!

1245
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:42,740
I'm French. I don't speak English.

1246
01:36:42,840 --> 01:36:43,940
What?

1247
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:46,580
Holy shit. This one's a frog.

1248
01:36:46,680 --> 01:36:48,284
French, I'm French.

1249
01:36:50,480 --> 01:36:53,689
You and twinkle toes are in a lot
of trouble, you know that?

1250
01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:57,620
Look, fella.

1251
01:36:57,720 --> 01:36:59,802
Just come on in

1252
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:03,404
and we'll talk about it, all right?

1253
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:06,460
Okay, buddy. Come on.

1254
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:08,260
Come on in. Yeah.

1255
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:09,500
Show's over.

1256
01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:11,409
Okay. Come on.

1257
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:14,203
Parlez-vous American-o?

1258
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:18,966
Careful!

1259
01:37:23,480 --> 01:37:24,766
Jesus!

1260
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:27,660
These officers, God bless them,

1261
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:30,780
they remind me of my days
when I had to run from the police.

1262
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:33,620
But they can't follow me up here.

1263
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:35,324
What the hell do we do now?

1264
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:01,889
By now, I'm becoming aware of the people
on the ground below, watching me.

1265
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:04,180
My audience.

1266
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:08,180
And even though this is something
a wire walker should never do,

1267
01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:10,282
I look down.

1268
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:40,167
And it was...

1269
01:38:43,200 --> 01:38:44,940
It was peaceful.

1270
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,407
It was calm and serene.

1271
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:49,929
Not dangerous.

1272
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:56,526
Did you hear that?

1273
01:38:57,080 --> 01:38:58,460
Someone's coming. Go. Go, go now.

1274
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:01,820
Go, go, go. Go.

1275
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:03,490
- Go, go, go.
- Okay.

1276
01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:14,460
- They're over here.
- We're on the roof.

1277
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:15,800
Hey, buddy!

1278
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:17,685
What are you doing out there?

1279
01:39:19,480 --> 01:39:21,420
Jesus. Hey, get a load of this!

1280
01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:22,820
This fool has gone and lost his mind.

1281
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:23,900
Hey. Hey, pallie.

1282
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:25,820
Why don't you come down
off that thing, all right?

1283
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:27,160
Why you doing this?

1284
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:29,180
Come on.

1285
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:31,980
Okay, hey. Stop wastin' everyone's time!

1286
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:33,940
Come on. Get down off that wire now!

1287
01:39:34,040 --> 01:39:34,980
Quit foolin' around.

1288
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:36,730
Okay, hey, hard-on.

1289
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:38,980
Shit. Shit.

1290
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:40,340
Hey, hey, hey.

1291
01:39:40,440 --> 01:39:41,820
Don't fall, buddy!

1292
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:43,570
Hey, hey, don't go fallin'!

1293
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:46,811
- Goddamn it.
- Freakin' believe this little pissant?

1294
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:50,620
Now with police on both rooftops,
I have no choice.

1295
01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:52,210
I have to stay on my wire.

1296
01:39:53,960 --> 01:39:55,325
- Buddy.
- No. No.

1297
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:26,124
Unbelievable.

1298
01:40:47,120 --> 01:40:48,406
All right. You get him.

1299
01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:50,180
- I got your back.
- Yeah, okay. I...

1300
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:51,361
- You got me?
- I got you.

1301
01:40:51,480 --> 01:40:52,540
- You got me, okay?
- Yes.

1302
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:54,005
Okay, come on.

1303
01:40:54,440 --> 01:40:55,580
- That's it. Nice and slowly.
- All right.

1304
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:56,820
- Let's go.
- All right, come on.

1305
01:40:56,920 --> 01:40:58,729
- That's it. Nice and slowly, buddy.
- Got it.

1306
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:00,220
- Hold.
- That's it.

1307
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:01,820
Come on, buddy.

1308
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:03,285
Okay.

1309
01:41:03,640 --> 01:41:05,005
Here we go.

1310
01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:07,881
Here we go. Yeah.

1311
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:11,180
Okay, man. Yeah.

1312
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:13,442
Here we... Okay. One more.

1313
01:41:14,520 --> 01:41:16,522
- What... What are you doing?
- Damn.

1314
01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:18,205
What are you doing?

1315
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:21,020
- You S.O.B.!
- Damn.

1316
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:22,260
Come on!

1317
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:24,010
Unbelievable!

1318
01:42:08,840 --> 01:42:10,620
Now I've seen everything.

1319
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:11,940
Damn straight.

1320
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:13,620
This dude is righteous.

1321
01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:15,140
He better start wrapping it up.

1322
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:16,940
There's a storm front moving in.

1323
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:18,246
Okay, Philippe.

1324
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:19,640
Time to stop.

1325
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:28,540
There on my back,
the sky fills my vision.

1326
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:29,880
The clouds,

1327
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:33,724
they're like music.

1328
01:42:36,480 --> 01:42:38,847
Then, something appears.

1329
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:42,580
An apparition.

1330
01:42:42,680 --> 01:42:43,920
A bird!

1331
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:47,722
This bird is looking at me.

1332
01:42:48,520 --> 01:42:51,444
And I feel this silent threat.

1333
01:43:01,440 --> 01:43:02,500
Easy. Easy.

1334
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:03,761
Easy!

1335
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:13,180
Suddenly, I'm invaded by doubts.

1336
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:16,090
I'm thinking maybe
the cable is tired of supporting me.

1337
01:43:16,480 --> 01:43:18,801
What if my towers
are talking to each other?

1338
01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:21,241
What if they've had enough?
What if they decide to eject me?

1339
01:43:25,440 --> 01:43:26,700
No, no, no. He's okay.

1340
01:43:26,800 --> 01:43:30,600
I'm thinking maybe it's time
for me to end this trespassing.

1341
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:42,045
This is the New York
Port Authority Police!

1342
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:47,500
Remove yourself
from the wire immediately.

1343
01:43:47,600 --> 01:43:50,649
You're in violation of
about 100 city ordinances.

1344
01:43:57,600 --> 01:44:00,380
I want you off that wire immediately

1345
01:44:00,480 --> 01:44:04,610
or we will be forced to take steps
to remove you from it.

1346
01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:06,460
You tell him to come in!

1347
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:07,900
Philippe!

1348
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:10,002
They're crazy!
They want to kill you!

1349
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:11,565
They're going to cut the cable!

1350
01:44:15,480 --> 01:44:16,527
Philippe!

1351
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:24,684
You tell him to come in!

1352
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:26,780
Philippe!

1353
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:30,805
They're insane!
They're going to cut the cable!

1354
01:44:33,960 --> 01:44:38,260
But I can't end my walk
on a moment of doubt

1355
01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:41,091
with curled shoulders and hanging head.

1356
01:44:42,560 --> 01:44:43,925
I decide.

1357
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:48,220
I will only leave my wire and my towers

1358
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:49,526
in victory.

1359
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:34,525
Nice and close, now.

1360
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:37,770
I got you.

1361
01:45:39,400 --> 01:45:41,129
Reach. Grab him, grab him.

1362
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:44,604
Attaboy. There you go.

1363
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:53,730
Officers of the New York
Police Department,

1364
01:45:54,760 --> 01:45:56,046
thank you for your patience.

1365
01:45:56,160 --> 01:45:57,820
I announce my arrival to the police.

1366
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:01,020
- My walk between these magnificent towers...
- I tell them my work is finished.

1367
01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:02,340
...is now finished.

1368
01:46:02,440 --> 01:46:04,500
But my walk is not finished.

1369
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:06,728
I still have three more steps to do.

1370
01:46:19,880 --> 01:46:21,180
Are you okay?

1371
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:22,361
Easy.

1372
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:40,849
- Okay, come on. Come on.
- All right.

1373
01:46:44,400 --> 01:46:45,811
- I got it. I got it.
- Careful.

1374
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:48,161
My name is Philippe Petit.
I'm a wire walker.

1375
01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:50,820
- Get down, smart-ass.
- Come on.

1376
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:52,140
Show's over.

1377
01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:53,321
Bobby, hook him up.

1378
01:47:09,360 --> 01:47:11,010
Bring it in!

1379
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:14,926
What'd you think?

1380
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:17,125
Told you. Told you.

1381
01:47:17,240 --> 01:47:18,366
Oh, my God.

1382
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:20,649
Philippe, you've done it.

1383
01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:22,411
My Philippe.

1384
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:29,540
No, no, no! No, don't cut the wire!

1385
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:30,580
Don't cut my wire!

1386
01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:31,660
- Shut up!
- No!

1387
01:47:31,760 --> 01:47:33,980
- Nobody gives a damn about your wire!
- There's too much tension!

1388
01:47:34,080 --> 01:47:35,900
It will snap! It will hurt somebody!
You have to believe me!

1389
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:38,260
- Hold on. Hold on, guys.
- You have to loosen it with the grip hoist.

1390
01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:39,900
He's right. Where's the handle?

1391
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:42,890
It's hidden in a hole in the wall.

1392
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:14,251
There he is.

1393
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:16,291
Make a hole, make a hole!

1394
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:19,202
All right. Out of the way!

1395
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:42,041
Watch your fingers.

1396
01:48:42,160 --> 01:48:43,491
They're comin' down, Lou.

1397
01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:04,180
I gotta hand it to you damn frogs.

1398
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:06,282
You sure pulled the wool over my eyes.

1399
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:10,180
I gotta tell ya.

1400
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:11,930
What you did was somethin'.

1401
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,969
I know I'll never see anything like that
again in my life.

1402
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:18,844
You got guts, pal.

1403
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:21,040
Good job.

1404
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:44,740
- Why did you do this?
- Channel 6 News.

1405
01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:46,580
The world would like to know
why are you doing this?

1406
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:47,860
Channel 3. We wanna know why.

1407
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:50,220
Why are you attempting
something so dangerous?

1408
01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:51,300
There is no why.

1409
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:53,129
Just because...

1410
01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:57,620
When I see a beautiful place
to put my wire, I cannot resist.

1411
01:49:57,720 --> 01:50:02,540
Later in the day, a judge sentenced Petit
to walk the wire again.

1412
01:50:02,640 --> 01:50:05,180
But this time, in Central Park,
for a crowd of children

1413
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:08,011
and only a few feet off the ground.

1414
01:50:09,240 --> 01:50:13,020
The story of the coup was in the news
all over the world!

1415
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:17,940
In France, when Papa Rudy heard about it,
he was the happiest Papa Rudy that there is.

1416
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:20,940
And when Papa Rudy's angry,
he's deadly angry.

1417
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:22,940
But when Papa Rudy's happy,

1418
01:50:23,040 --> 01:50:25,281
his dogs get a double ration of food.

1419
01:50:30,960 --> 01:50:33,940
The most fantastic moment for me was

1420
01:50:34,040 --> 01:50:37,140
when I saw you answered
my shooting signal.

1421
01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:39,580
At that moment, I knew
the coup would be a success.

1422
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:41,460
What you mean? We almost lost the arrow.

1423
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:42,620
It was on the edge of the building.

1424
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:45,580
No. It was exactly where I was aiming.

1425
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:46,860
So you admit it?

1426
01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:48,405
You wanted to see him
in his birthday suit.

1427
01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:49,601
Yeah.

1428
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:52,820
Okay. Okay, okay.

1429
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:55,161
I would like to make a toast now.

1430
01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:59,246
To all of you, my accomplices.

1431
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:01,403
I know I can be...

1432
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:03,850
A bit difficult.

1433
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:09,487
But, but you never gave up on me.

1434
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:14,140
And because of this,
I was able to walk on that wire.

1435
01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:17,722
So for allowing me this honor,
thank you.

1436
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:23,820
- You mean "cheers."
- Cheers!

1437
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:25,524
Cheers, cheers!

1438
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:28,964
Look at that.

1439
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:30,700
I mean, we did it, Philippe.

1440
01:51:30,800 --> 01:51:33,531
We showed the world
that anything's possible.

1441
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:35,660
They're different.

1442
01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:37,569
Hey, Philippe, they're different now.

1443
01:51:38,120 --> 01:51:39,540
Yeah, that's right.

1444
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:42,246
They're different
because you walked up there.

1445
01:51:43,440 --> 01:51:47,286
You know every New Yorker I talk to now
says they love these towers?

1446
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:52,282
Perhaps you brought them to life,

1447
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:54,964
given them a soul.

1448
01:52:13,480 --> 01:52:16,740
Jean-Louis and Jeff,
soon afterward, they returned to France.

1449
01:52:16,840 --> 01:52:18,260
But I stayed.

1450
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:21,330
I was proud to become a New Yorker.

1451
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:25,380
Now, in order to stay,
I had to pay my debt to society.

1452
01:52:25,480 --> 01:52:29,610
So a judge mandated
that I perform a free walk in Central Park.

1453
01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:31,848
And, of course, I was happy to do this.

1454
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:34,761
Annie...

1455
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:37,610
Sadly, Annie returned to France.

1456
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:44,285
Wait...

1457
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:48,567
Are you sure?

1458
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:50,605
I'm sure.

1459
01:52:52,640 --> 01:52:55,849
You accomplished your dream.
It's time for me to find mine.

1460
01:53:02,240 --> 01:53:04,049
See you soon?

1461
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:11,090
Goodbye.

1462
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:17,566
Annie.

1463
01:53:19,360 --> 01:53:20,700
Thank you.

1464
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:22,165
For everything.

1465
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:27,642
I'm glad the towers called you.

1466
01:53:50,200 --> 01:53:51,260
That was incredible.

1467
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:53,283
- Just don't do that again.
- No, never.

1468
01:53:54,760 --> 01:53:57,140
And you remember Guy Tozzoli
from the press conference,

1469
01:53:57,240 --> 01:53:59,500
one of the men
behind the creation of the towers.

1470
01:53:59,600 --> 01:54:00,660
He loved the walk,

1471
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:03,060
and he gave me a pass
to the observation deck

1472
01:54:03,160 --> 01:54:04,810
so I could go anytime I wanted.

1473
01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:07,966
And I went there many times alone.

1474
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:26,860
I would find myself there,
looking at the void

1475
01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:29,220
to see how the thought comes back,

1476
01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:30,924
how the feeling returns.

1477
01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:51,850
Because it was...

1478
01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:55,130
It was a beautiful day.

1479
01:54:56,240 --> 01:54:58,340
And you know this pass I was given.

1480
01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:00,820
Well, these passes,
they have a date on them,

1481
01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:01,967
a date when they expire.

1482
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:05,801
But on my pass, Mr. Tozzoli,
he crossed out the date,

1483
01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:08,530
and he wrote on it,

1484
01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:10,891
"Forever."
