but you are so close

to me going on holiday.

Come on.

Dennis! Dennis! Dennis!

Dennis! Dennis! Dennis!

Dennis! Dennis! Dennis!

As we draw tantalizingly

close to the finish line...

here at St. Paul's Cathedral...

it's safe to say,

it's been a very long day...

for myself and my cameraman.

It's been a very long day

for you watching at home...

but for Dennis Doyle...

it's been the single longest day

of his life.

Come on, Dennis!

Good work, Dennis!

Hey! Move along!

That's it. You're there.

You're sixty feet.

Fifty-- Fifty-eight feet.

Call it fifty-six

and a half feet...

and you're there. Come on.

That's my man! My man!

Come on, come on!

Dennis, come on.

Stay down, you shamble of a man.

Don't get up.

Dennis!

Dennis, come on, get up.

Dennis, you're

at the finish line. Get up.

Dennis, this looks bad.

People are talking.

Get up.

Hello, Dennis?

- Dennis!

- Dad!

Dennis!

Dad!

Go on! You've got it! Go on!

Come on, Dennis! Yeah!

Yeah!

Dad!

That was a really stupid thing

you did out there today.

Don't go to Chicago.

Dad, you won!

He's done it!

He's actually done it!

This morning...

Dennis Doyle was a humble

shop worker from North London!

Tonight, he goes home a hero!

Oh, yay.

And look at that!

- God damn it.

- This extraordinary man...

collapses into the arms of--

I think it's backwards here--

the woman he loves!

And, look! He's got a son!

I didn't know he had a son!

Did you know he had a son?

- Hello, Dennis.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Jake, your dad's here!

How's it goin'?

- Pretty good.

- Good.

- You?

- Yeah.

Yeah, not bad.

You still running?

Every day, hopefully

in the right direction.

Yeah. So...

Um, Libby,

I was thinkin', um...

- Hi, Dad.

- Hey, you.

Uh, it doesn't matter,

actually.

I'll, um...

I'll sp-- I'll ca--

I'll speak to you later.

- OK.

- Say goodbye to your mom.

Bye, Mom.

Bye. I'll see you later.

Bye.

Libby, I was wondering,

would you like to go...

and have some dinner

with me next week?

You don't have to.

It's not, uh...

Yeah.

Uh...huh?

I mean, wow.

It'd be nice.

Yeah. Well, it would be.

I'll, um...

I'll give you a call.

OK.

Don't know why I did that.

It's just--

OK. Ready?

Yeah.

Hello!

Hello, Dennis!

Mr G.

- Hello, Jake.

- Hello.

I was just doing my spin class.

It's great fun, isn't it?

Oh, it's an amazing workout!

Dad comin' up behind

the young contender.

Come on! Jake!

Oh, he takes the ball from Jake!

He has the ball! He's clear!

Dad! Pass it!

Dad is clear!

Give it!

I'll give you one, too.

OK, let's go. Good game.

Jake to Mr G.

Yeah, thank you very much.

Take over, Mr G.

There you go, Mr G.

All right, I'm gonna--

Completely illegal move there.

Picks up the player,

runs with him.

Runs with him all the way.

Dad, that's illegal!

But that's not all.

Because the guy,

he can't barely walk, OK...

Iet alone run,

but he keeps going...

and twenty-five miles

on a shattered ankle.

And you know how he did that?

You know what he said

was the one thing...

that kept him going?

His trainer

never gave up on him.

He stayed with him

the whole way.

And that was you?

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

It's a pretty amazing story,

actually.

I've got a bottle of champagne

opened here...

if you wanna hear it.

- Sure.

- Sure.

Well, come on up then.
