00:23There was a lot of pressure, you know, when the news got out about my injury, I mean,
00:27Canada was sad. Ben Johnson is torn his hamstring, injured at the worst possible time.
00:36If they can't run anyone, I don't even want to be prime minister. How will Canada ever recover
00:42from this tragedy? All of our hopes gone in a flash. Canada needs this. I need this.
00:50I know I haven't spoken to you since the murder, but have mercy. Fix Ben Johnson's hamstring.
00:57This is a dark, dark day in the dominion of Canada.
01:01What are you looking at here, Man's Bridge, huh? What Ben Johnson needs now are our prayers.
01:07Canada needs this. Fix Ben Johnson's leg. Canada needs this.
01:13Want a drink? Want a drink? You try this job! It's dangling!
01:25This is a heightened and theatrical take on Ben Johnson's story, his version of events sprinkled
01:30with some chaos and tamfoolery for entertainment purposes. Kiss the show's ass, haters!
01:35All right, now, Ben. Drink up this soup. It's going to fix up your leg. Good, good.
01:41Good. Mmm. Tastes good, Mommy.
01:44Of course it tastes good. I know me make it.
01:48Ben. Okay, so here's what we're going to do.
01:50Ben, I'm here. Oh, I'm sorry Charlie make you mush up your leg, so.
01:54Me?
01:55The man asked you for a break and you refused him. Now look at him.
01:59Oh, you don't push me. I push you.
02:02Charlie and Jamie already aided each other. So when I got injured, it just gave them something
02:06new to fight over. Oh, you're so strong. Are you taking steroids?
02:11Thank you, Mommy. Why was your doctor always in your place?
02:13You see, Jamie wasn't just my doctor. I mean, he was my friend. He was my steroidologist.
02:20Your what? Let me rewind about Jamie, okay? So,
02:23Jamie, he was a medical student with a dream. The perfect human body can only be achieved through
02:28chemical and genetic alteration. If we enhance the body to its peak physical form, it will be stronger
02:34and faster. It will be a body that will never get sick or weak. Matter of fact, if we look
02:39to the
02:40animal kingdom, there are many features that, when combined, create the perfect superhuman.
02:52Dear God!
02:56You are a monster! This thesis is malarkey! You are a state of the science community!
03:05No more science! No more science!
03:07You are expelled! Hang your head in shame!
03:14My body is in your head, my God!
03:18Maybe I jumped it! No, it's still there!
03:25I'll show them one day.
03:27Jamie, he never gave up on his dream to create a perfect human. I mean, he was so good at
03:32beating
03:33the system, and he actually joined some anti-drug associations just so he could learn the tricks
03:38from the inside.
03:40This formula is my best one yet. I used a mix of animal steroids to avoid the drugs on the
03:45list.
03:45Is that safe?
03:46Yeah, man, we're fine.
03:48For Ben!
03:49Oh, probably.
03:52What? Jamie, we can't be given Ben animals.
03:56Shh! Trust me. Ben, that's a spectacular bottom.
04:02Boy.
04:11Charlie!
04:12What do you feel like?
04:16Superman.
04:17Is that normal?
04:19No.
04:22Be right back.
04:24I'm gonna go to the truck!
04:26Jamie, I'm not comfortable with this.
04:29Animal steroids?
04:30You ever see a cut, loser Ace?
04:33You want to win or not?
04:36Just make sure that we never, ever, ever get caught.
04:44Foreshadowing.
04:45Uh-huh. Problems that came later,
04:47but in the beginning, these results were real.
04:50You know?
04:50And I just kept beating Carl every time we raced.
04:57Silver look good, Tonya.
05:00Matches your hairline.
05:04Mark my words, Benjamin Sinclair Johnson.
05:07You will rule the day you cross me and my country.
05:10We will pick you apart, Brick, but...
05:13Ben?
05:15What?
05:16Juice for sale.
05:18Juice for sale. Try now.
05:21What the hell are you doing? Are you trying to get us all caught?
05:23I'm tired of playing the background like a second-rate pan man.
05:27Ben's success is because I'm my genius.
05:29The world deserve to know.
05:31Well, you hack it up.
05:32Right now.
05:33I won't tell you again.
05:35What?
05:37Easy now.
05:40Be careful how you talk to me, white boy.
05:42You may be on top for now,
05:44but seasons change.
05:52White boy.
05:53You're actually lucky at my back,
05:55but he just wanted to run things.
05:56That's it.
05:57I mean, he messed up.
05:58And at same meeting in Zurich,
06:00we hit a speed bump.
06:02Boss!
06:02Boss!
06:05Ben Johnson just tested positive for steroids.
06:08Really?
06:10Wow!
06:11In 1986?
06:13Yes.
06:15That is the current year.
06:19Lunch?
06:20Grab pizza?
06:22All right.
06:23And two full years before Seoul,
06:25you tested positive.
06:26I mean, most people don't know that.
06:28But yes, I tested positive in Zurich.
06:31But I was at fodder, so they took care of it.
06:33Oh, Ben.
06:34Why?
06:37Zoomer!
06:40How long have you been down there?
06:43Fodder athletes never test positive.
06:50Oh, yes.
06:53What the?
06:54Where did...
06:57There's no way to corroborate this.
07:00Oh, yeah.
07:00This happened.
07:00Fodder athletes never test positive.
07:03That's so dope.
07:04Fodder made your test disappear.
07:06You said it, not me.
07:07To reiterate,
07:08Fodder is a completely fictionalized company
07:11with no real relation to any actual sports apparel company.
07:16And I'm especially not talking about any of the big dogs.
07:20Not Nike or Adidas or Reebok or Puma or who else?
07:25Fila.
07:26Not them.
07:27British Knights.
07:29What's the name of the...
07:30The shoe with the kangaroo pouch.
07:33Ruse?
07:33Are they called Ruse?
07:35We're not talking about anybody.
07:36They know who they are.
07:37They know what they did, Walter.
07:38Stop it!
07:40Man, Charlie, he was pissed.
07:42Because Jamie, he had really fucked up.
07:44Son of a bitch!
07:45You had one job!
07:47How could you let Ben fail a drug test?
07:49It's impossible.
07:50How could this happen?
07:52Well, it happened!
07:53In hindsight, it really wasn't Jamie's fault.
07:55But, you know, we didn't know that then.
07:56Ooh.
07:57I'll get to that later.
07:58Relax.
07:59That's it!
08:00No more team trips for you!
08:02Hey, settle down, Charlie.
08:04Without me, your athletes will never win another race.
08:07Is that a threat?
08:07It's a fact.
08:09They won't do boo.
08:09They come in less than last.
08:15Fine.
08:15But I want to know what you give every athlete.
08:18Especially Ben!
08:20You're not gonna ruin us, you little pissant!
08:25What's happening here?
08:31Loud and clear.
08:33Nice save.
08:34You know, they were constantly fighting, but I kept winning races,
08:37and I was faster than I'd ever been.
08:38Faster than anyone.
08:42Ever.
08:45The brand new world champion is Ben Johnson!
08:58Champion.
09:00Ben, me brother!
09:01I got a little present for you.
09:03Meet me, De LaDance.
09:05Buongiorno, Mr. Ben Johnson.
09:07Hello.
09:09We would like to be your new sponsor.
09:12Sponsor!
09:13No, thank you.
09:14We're Futter Folk.
09:15Ain't nobody talking to you, Charlie.
09:17I'm pretty happy with Futter, but thank you.
09:19Ben.
09:20Yeah.
09:20Just listen to the offer.
09:21Oh.
09:21We're gonna give you more money.
09:24More money.
09:24Than you ever seen.
09:26Ever seen!
09:27And we're gonna give you your own shoe!
09:33Nice, right?
09:34And then the next year, when are you winning the gold?
09:37We're gonna sell the shoe to the whole world!
09:41For a world?
09:42The world.
09:43The world, Charlie.
09:45And we're gonna give you five percent for the revenue!
09:49Cinque percent!
09:51Five percent!
09:52Five percent!
09:53Five percent!
09:55Unprecedented.
09:56Unprecedented.
09:57Fuck me sideways, that's good.
09:58Don't worry, Carl.
09:59I'll get you six percent.
10:00You know, seven percent.
10:01No, wait, I'm gonna get you ten.
10:03Ten percent!
10:04Zoom. Zip it.
10:04I'm trying to eavesdrop.
10:05Five percent, Charlie.
10:07Come on.
10:08We'll be rich, Charlie, you know?
10:10We'll be a millionaire.
10:11I know Michael Jordan.
10:13Michael Jordan only became a billionaire in 2016.
10:15How would you know that in 1988?
10:17Small details are for small people.
10:19Just enjoy the shoe.
10:21Unfreeze.
10:21Cha-ching!
10:23Wow!
10:23Ben, order's been good to us.
10:25Charlie, hush!
10:26You're just jealous you didn't bring this deal to Ben yourself.
10:29Ben, what are you saying?
10:33Deal.
10:33Ah, grazie vengente!
10:37Hey!
10:38Money!
10:39Hey!
10:39Who like the money?
10:41You like the money?
10:42Michael Jordan!
10:44Hey!
10:45Hey!
10:47We go!
10:47We go!
10:48Look at us!
10:49In Europe, we throw the money!
11:03Didn't!
11:04It's us.
11:05Tell him we want five percent.
11:06I'm telling him.
11:07I want five percent.
11:08Give me a minute.
11:09Five percent.
11:10Ben's going with Adela Darius.
11:11They gave him the Jordan deal.
11:13I should get the Jordan deal, too.
11:14I was drafted by the Bulls, as well.
11:15Yeah, they drafted you at 208.
11:17You can't even dung.
11:18I heard that.
11:19Ben Johnson dares to defy Fada.
11:23Fada does not get dropped.
11:25Inga!
11:26Fada does the dropping.
11:29Oh, Ben Johnson will pay.
11:36I'm really not comfortable with you using Carl in this plot to sabotage you.
11:41You've got no reputable sources to corroborate any of this.
11:45So, if you want to make stuff up, use the pretend people.
11:49Use Din.
11:51And Sue.
12:02I heard nothing about you plans to stop a Ben Johnson.
12:05Aggressive, tall woman and a scaredy, sweetest Vietnamese man.
12:10Don't worry.
12:11I will kill him.
12:12Tourists, let's go this way.
12:13I have so many sights to show you.
12:16Are you afraid of heights?
12:17Go back to Tokyo after you got hurt.
12:19Who won the fight over you?
12:20After I tore my arm string, I was in pain.
12:24Physical and emotional.
12:25I needed a break.
12:27But I knew that the Olympics were only a few months away.
12:30So, it was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make.
12:34Good evening, everybody.
12:36And welcome to your favorite Japanese game show.
12:41Here at Iraha.
12:42Tonight's episode is really, really special.
12:45Because the lucky cat, a stunt buying for love is none other than my beautiful son, Ben Johnson.
13:01And the two contestants who are trying for his love are Charlie Francis and Jamie Hustlefans.
13:10Take a seat, gentlemen.
13:12Take a seat.
13:13Hi, Mommy.
13:14Hello, my darling.
13:16Let me get straight to it.
13:17What are you looking for?
13:19He looking for me.
13:20I'm the full package.
13:22Oh, please.
13:22Get out of here.
13:23Ben, I love you like fish do love water.
13:26Yeah, well, Ben, I am your father.
13:29No, you're not.
13:30How about this?
13:31Stars Wars?
13:32Okay, don't listen to a fuckknuckle over here.
13:34Ben, your hamstring needs time to heal.
13:38We'll use heat and ice to get you better.
13:41Rest, supplements, massages.
13:43That's what's gonna get you back on the track right away.
13:45We don't have time for Jamie's stupid game.
13:47Ben, I fly into St. Kitts like a baddie.
13:52Sand, beer, ladies.
13:54Hey.
13:54We gon' party.
13:57You know what we have to ask.
13:58The other one stops us in the 70s, Mommy.
14:00You're a great matiah.
14:01Yeah.
14:02You deserve a mess.
14:04You have to cross wars.
14:05Just like in the Bible.
14:08Ah, a true.
14:09Mm-hmm.
14:11Choose...
14:14Jamie!
14:30Jamie and I were best buddies now.
14:32After I chose him, he took me back to the island where he was from.
14:44Mmm.
14:46This gonna be the one.
14:48You hear from Charlie yet?
14:50Them car?
14:51It's a long donkey here since Charlie called.
14:55I'll let you know when you check in.
14:57There are currently no working phones and sane kids.
15:00Don't nobody here won't talk to you.
15:02Jamie?
15:03No.
15:04He's an operator.
15:06You sure?
15:07Yeah.
15:07It's not me, Charlie.
15:09Damn it.
15:11You think you mad with me?
15:13Maybe me should have called him.
15:15Ben.
15:15Yes?
15:16Focus on your recovery.
15:18Yes.
15:18Recovery.
15:26Jamie.
15:27How was that?
15:28Ah.
15:29Came to me in a dream.
15:35This island's so peaceful.
15:37Mmm.
15:39Ah.
15:39You know who else like peaceful islands?
15:42Charlie.
15:43Yeah, Charlie.
15:44Yeah.
15:45We got to get your mind out, Diggs.
15:47I know just what you need.
15:50What?
15:56Oh, sorry, I did yours too.
15:57Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, man.
16:00We having a good time tonight.
16:02Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.
16:04Hey, ladies.
16:05You looking for a dance partner?
16:08Naughty, creepy.
16:09Mm-hmm.
16:10You noticed?
16:12Uh.
16:12Ah, don't worry.
16:13It's not two of me.
16:13It's just all me.
16:14Woo-hoo!
16:16Be cold.
16:17I'm boiling hot.
16:19Should not have worn off her.
16:21Woo!
16:22So you were just popping perks the whole time?
16:24I mean, I don't know what Jamie was giving me.
16:26All I know was I was having the best time of my life.
16:29Oh, I was drinking.
16:31I was smoking.
16:33I was fucking.
16:35I really needed it, you know?
16:37Pam, you weren't worried about the side effects?
16:38Ben Johnson, I have no side effects.
16:41Carl Lewis, I'm off side effects.
16:44Jamie's drugs made me feel more beautiful.
16:56Charlie.
16:57What's going on, chocolate guy?
17:00Come home now.
17:01Come home?
17:02Come home now.
17:04No!
17:06Too little, too late, Charlie.
17:09I and I choose paradise.
17:12Paradise.
17:14Paradise.
17:15Paradise.
17:15Paradise.
17:16Come on.
17:16I choose me.
17:24I choose me.
17:26Look for me hip then, Charlie.
17:30It feels pretty.
17:39Get well.
17:41Wishing you a speedy recovery.
17:43Love, Charlie.
17:48Hey, what the hell are you doing?
17:50Don't you dare close that lid on me.
17:51You'll be threatened!
17:52Jamie, you son of a bitch!
17:54You son of a bitch!
17:57Nice to meet you, Larry.
17:58How about this other cousin twice removed?
18:00Carl Lewis.
18:02Carl Lewis?
18:03Yes, what's not saying to me, boy?
18:05How about it, boy?
18:06Carl Lewis, on TV, on Perfect Strangers.
18:09He ruined the natural chemistry.
18:11If anyone should have been on TV, it should be me.
18:14Ben Johnson.
18:16Real star boy.
18:18Jamaican Tom Cruise.
18:22Time to go to work.
18:23Ah, ah, ah.
18:25After Full House.
18:26Full House?
18:26Wait, so that's what motivated you?
18:28Your op was on TV?
18:29All I needed, you know?
18:30I only had a few months before the games,
18:32and my leg was feeling great.
18:34So Jamie had done his job,
18:35and all I needed was Charlie.
18:37Because I had a gold medal to win.
18:41Well, um...
18:41Are you...
18:42Well, you can...
18:43Wait, no, you go first.
18:44No, you go.
18:45All right.
18:48Charlie.
18:51You ready to run?
18:55Holy shit.
18:56Run where?
18:57To the buffet?
19:00Oh, Mr. Charlie.
19:04Let's get you that gold.
19:10I brought you a little treat, Ben.
19:19I realized in that moment that Jamie was stirring the pot,
19:22and I never truly trusted him again after that.
19:24Took you long enough.
19:26Sorry.
19:27Yeah.
19:28And with Charlie, you know, things were never the same.
19:31And whatever special thing we had was broken that summer,
19:34and we never really truly fixed it.
19:35That's tragic.
19:37It is.
19:39But...
19:40We had work to do.
19:45It was my first race back.
19:48I wasn't ready.
19:49But I needed to know how bad it really was.
19:58USA!
19:59We did it!
20:00USA!
20:01USA!
20:03USA!
20:05USA!
20:22Suck it, Ben.
20:23I had six weeks to get ready for Seoul,
20:26and poof.
20:27It was the hardest work I ever had to do.
20:31Charlie, he got me lifting again.
20:35He got me back on the track.
20:36Whoa, whoa, whoa.
20:37Slow it down, Ben.
20:38It's a tempo run.
20:39Slower!
20:40And Jamie, he put me on some meds to help me cut water.
20:52So when the games came...
20:54Oh, yes.
20:56I was ready.
20:59Sure, tight.
21:03Too tight.
21:14That's better.
21:18He is ripped.
21:20Settle down, Sue.
21:23Fuck.
21:30Hey, Candida.
21:32You...
21:34All right, gentlemen.
21:36All right.
21:36It's time.
21:38Time to kick your ass.
21:40Time to break the world record.
21:43The last few months went ideal.
21:45The injury, the infighting between Charlie and Jamie,
21:49Carl getting faster and faster.
21:52On your marks!
21:53But you can't control when the starter pistol goes off.
22:03You can only control how you react to it.
22:09Eat America's dust, suckers.
22:11And set!
22:13I was ready.
22:27affirmation.
22:40He must live on anyone.
22:41I saw this trick.
22:41Two things above all.
22:43He has picked the flying scene.
22:44Then you have to pick the square tsaaabt that follows you.
22:48The knobs on your
22:49People now take him Feelin'
