Whatever it is, you can deal

with it later. This is not the time.

Just work with me on this.

Jimmy.

l'm so sorry.

Go. Just go.

l don't--

-Let me explain it to you.

-Hey, you need--

Get away from me.

-Play somewhere else.

-Just listen.

-Five minutes.

-Go away!

-Jimmy.

-Don't push me, don't push me.

-Go.

-Fine, fine, okay!

-Play your game somewhere else.

-Get the hell away from me.

Move, move, move! Move!

l need backup!

Pull over!

Come on, Jimmy, pull over!

Get away from me, man. Just--

You want to go through me? Come on.

l want to fight him.

-For what?

-For what?

You weren't there?

What do you think he did,

take your woman away?

Why did l let him take her away?

She was gone.

She was always gonna leave.

What do you know anyway?

Your brother puts so much

pressure on you...

...you looked for an edge.

You figured she was it.

Why do you act like you care?

l'm just a thing to you,

part of the job.

You pick up a check to help me out

since you didn't help yourself.

Why does that make you better?

lt doesn't.

Why did you take the car?

l don't need to be pushed.

-Go on, say it.

-Forget this.

You hoped this would get you thrown

out. You're looking for the exit.

What are you talking about?

You don't know who you are anymore!

You think you've got to be perfect

or you're a failure.

Well, forget that. Just forget it.

l was gonna give this to you

before all this went down.

lmpressive, isn't it?

-What is it?

-lt's the first thing l ever won.

lt was probably the last time

l ever felt pure victory.

No pressure, nobody breathing

down my back.

Just driving because l loved it.

Pure.

That's where you've gotta get back to.

Doing it naturally, for you.

l don't have your gift, but l do

have some things you don't have.

l got will and l got faith.

Don't laugh, l'm serious.

l believe that you can will yourself

into anything and do anything.

Having faith, that's like

believing in--

That's like having a good disease,

it's contagious.

Hang with people that have it,

you're gonna catch it.

That'll change your attitude.

And winning is an attitude.

So if you trust me--

No, if you trust yourself...

...by this season's end,

you'll be on top or you won't.

But l guarantee you're gonna know

what Jimmy Bly is made of.

Outside Chicago,

at the chicane it goes up...

...and comes down right where you

got Brandenburg--

ls that when l dip down?

Forget it.

l'm tired of these spoons.

We play with spoons.

-Say ''ah.''

-Ah.

Welcome to Germany.

Home of beer...

...the Autobahn and Beau Brandenburg.

-Qualifying begins tomorrow.

-With two races left...

...Beau is leading in the race

for the world championship.

Jimmy Bly is in second.

Commissioner Gilson has slapped

Bly and teammate, Joe Tanto...

... with a $25,000 fine...

...for their recent joyride

through downtown Chicago.

Doing great, Jimmy.

Keep pushing that speed.

Hey.

You don't need to talk to me anymore?

-lt's not like that.

-Really? What is it like?

All right, here you go. Jimmy.

Three, two.

One. Beautiful.

Come on, buddy.

Now, is he a hero, or is it hype?

What do you think?

What do you want me to say?

l want to hear what you think!

Jimmy just needs time

to develop, that's all.

When he can get it together off

the track, he will on it.

That's what l think.

Like you got it together?

You can help the kid off

the track more than on it.

You're not racing on Sunday.

l'm bringing Memo back.

Come here.

Joseph, over here.

Sit.

At my level.

lt's the moment of truth, my friend.

lf he doesn't deliver

next time out, he goes.

Don't hate me, but you go with him.

I'll come around here in Turn 7.

Driving off Brandenburg,

l'll fake outside.

Eight's a tough place to pass.

l'm gonna carry that speed...

...bring it down the straightaway.

l have plenty of speed.

Kind of flawless.

You're not even paying attention.

Watch this.

Show me again.

Yes, sir.

lf you find yourself in a position

to hold up traffic, do it.

l don't want any front-running.

You know the drill.

-Don't hurt yourself.

-l told you and l told you too.

-What?

-l told you l'll return.

Here l am, returned.

Like the real Zorro.

There's no helmet big enough

to hold that head.

There's so much love in here.

You keep smiling,

your face is gonna crack.

Why shouldn't he smile?

He's got a lot to be happy about.

He's back where he belongs.

Right, baby?

Yep.

Good?

Hey, you're so good.

You win this, yeah?

You're gonna win.

-Be safe, all right?

-You too, be safe.

This is the second to last race

of the season.

And what an exciting one

it promises to be.

Clouds are all around.

It looks like a thunderstorm

maybe a mile from the track.

The rain threat hasn't dampened...

...the spirits of this crowd

here in Germany.

What do you want?

Wanted to apologize.

Apologize to yourself.

Let's race.

l want you to stay in your world

and don't get into his.

You push him hard.

You get him thinking about you.

And you're not thinking about him.

Got it.

The skies are opening up

as the warm-up lap begins.

How's Jimmy?

He's all there.

We are racing in Germany.

Beau Brandenburg is starting

in the pole position today.

Jimmy Bly is in second.

Brandenburg moves out in front

on a course you can race in the rain.

Brake tires are on

and they are at speed.

Memo Moreno is back, giving

Jimmy Bly help as his teammate.

I'm sure Memo wants to make

his presence felt today.

Boy, he is on the fly.

It's like he has something to prove.

Good move, Memo.

Keep it steady.

Somebody wants their job back.

I think Joe Tanto may want

to watch his back.

Somebody's spinning!

Kenny Brack, he's in trouble.

He's gonna go way back

in the field on that one.

Back at the front

the battle continues.

Look at Brandenburg.

He cuts off Bly!

-He tried to take me out.

-Detach it. Hold your line.

Ride his blind spot.

I will, Joe,

but I can't see a damn thing.

Neither can he.

Just patience, my man. Patience.

Take him, Jimmy! Take him!

Jimmy Bly in second place.

Putting the pressure

on Beau Brandenburg.

Push it.

Here we go.

Bly is gonna try to make

a move in the corner...

...on Brandenburg on the outside.

He does it!

Bly takes the lead.

Goddamn brilliant.

Car in trouble, spinning

on the wet pavement.

-Looks like Gidley.

-Oh, here comes Max Papis!

Crash!

Head-on into that car!

Max Papis is airborne.

lf he takes it to the inside,

don't follow him, he's setting you up.

In the hairpin, that fight

for the lead continues.

Jimmy Bly has the lead now.

Brandenburg wants it back.

Brandenburg goes to the high side.

He gets by!

Brandenburg back to the lead.

Keep cool, he's putting on a show.

lt's a hell of a show.

Yeah, hell of a show.

Now Memo Moreno whips out

of the pack and passes Andretti.

He's really trying to get up there

with Brandenburg and Bly.

Memo, what are you doing?

l can almost touch him.

Hold your position.

Why? He's can win this.
