0:00:05 > 0:00:10# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see me through
0:00:10 > 0:00:14- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No! No!
0:00:14 > 0:00:18# Believe me now I will win some day. #
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Then she said she hadn't said that
0:00:20 > 0:00:24and I said I know she did because I was there. It was so funny.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Are you and Jackie going to natter all night?
0:00:27 > 0:00:31That's what sleepovers are for. That and pillow fights.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Gotcha!- Ow!
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Jackie.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Jackie.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Jackie, it's your grandpa.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51He's very poorly.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54The hospital rang. Would you like to go to him?
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- He seems to know you're here. - Of course he does.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06You're his only family?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09We're a team.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12We run everywhere together.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16He bought me my first pair of running shoes.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20He had a proper training programme for me and everything.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24He helped me to be a real athlete like he was.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34I got older and faster. But Grandpa got older and slower.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37MACHINE BLEEPS STEADILY
0:01:47 > 0:01:49You must be very tired.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54You know, some people, they hold on.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- They don't want to let go even when they really need to.- Why?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02They don't want to leave their loved ones alone.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I'll be all right, Grandpa.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Honest.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Grandpa's gone.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- How is she?- Did she get some sleep?
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- I am here, you know!- You don't have to worry about a thing.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- The funeral's being arranged. I'll take you.- No!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Sweetheart, these things have got to be done.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- We'll get him nice flowers. He'd like that.- You don't know that.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55He'd like a proper sendoff with all this old friends,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57not just Elaine the Pain and me.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Who's that?- Arthur something.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Grandpa's old running mate. He talked about him all the time.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- Do you have his address?- Grandpa got sick, he couldn't remember.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11I should have made him write it down. It's my fault.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16He'll have nobody to say a proper goodbye to him.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27Look. It's dated the year they won the medals.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31A proper champion runner but I can't think of his name.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34There must be a way to find him.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Oi! I was run running the 1952 marathon.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Look through those for local athletics clubs.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Names and numbers of national running associations.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Hello. I need information about some championship runners from the past.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- I'm not hungry.- Try and eat something later, then. Just for me?
0:04:28 > 0:04:32OK, Tracy, it's getting late. Time to call it a day.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I have got an address and phone number for Arthur.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I think Jackie's still up.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42KNOCK ON DOOR
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Arthur MacDonald.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- What?- His last known address and phone number. He's not far away.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- How did you do that?- Looked in the phone book, athletics associations.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Super intelligence.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04RINGING TONE
0:05:11 > 0:05:16He's not in. It's too late. The funeral's tomorrow.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- He might be back soon. - We'll keep trying for you.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Still no answer.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Face it, guys, Arthur MacDonald doesn't live there any more.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I can't find Jackie.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Does anyone know where she is or why she might have run off?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- We'll split up. - No, let me look for her.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49She'll get more upset if she thinks everyone's on her case.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- I've an idea where she might be. - OK. ..You go with her.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I want a phone call when you find her.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Where do you think she is? - Where does she always go?
0:06:02 > 0:06:07I'll meet you there later. I have to try and find Arthur for Jackie.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09And for her grandpa.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13You'd have been in loads of trouble if I hadn't found you.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- I'm not going back with you. - You have to.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- The funeral's in a few hours. - I'm NOT going to the funeral.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What?!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26You're just going to let Elaine the Pain say goodbye to your grandpa?!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Oi! What do you think you're doing?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Does Arthur MacDonald live here? - Nobody lives there. Clear off.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Slow down! I just want to talk to you.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01He lived just round the corner, No 17.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Let me pass!- Explain why you're not going to your grandpa's funeral.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15It's none of your business.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Come on, Arthur.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Hello.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Uh...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's a funeral, not a race meeting. Don't you have a suit?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36It's a fellow athlete's funeral. I'm going in uniform.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- OK, fine. It's that way.- We're going this way.- It's the wrong way.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45A few of the old team that used to run with us are still around.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50They'd never forgive me if I didn't run them up for Jack's funeral.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I said they ran with us. Ran behind us, I should say!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- I remember... - We don't have time for this.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Not if you stand around yakking all day! Move your carcass!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Now, um...
0:08:13 > 0:08:18this lad calls himself Crash. ..And this is Freddie.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Flying Freddie Mercer. Pleased to meet you.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Hi. Can we go now?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Just one more stop.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34You know as well as I do, if I'd run on the inside, I'd have beaten you.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Rubbish! Your motor was dead...
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Can we please go?
0:08:42 > 0:08:47So, THIS is the granddaughter that Jack went off to bring up!
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- I imagined she'd be taller.- Just have to look - a sprinter, I bet!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Why do people talk like I'm invisible?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- I'm not a sprinter, I'm a distance runner.- Ah!
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Do you remember that marathon? What year was it...? Jack and me.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Were you there that year? Save the memories.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- We'll be late. - We won't all fit into the car.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- You go with Jackie. We'll walk. - I'm not going to the funeral.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Just leave me alone.- Jack's temper!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18It's the red hair.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26We were just trying to help.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- We thought you wanted his old friends there.- I do.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32So would Grandpa.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34You take them.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38You'll regret it for the rest of your life if you don't go.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Please.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41I can't.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Why not?
0:09:43 > 0:09:48Because the last thing I said to my grandpa was a big, fat lie.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- What lie?- I told him I'd be all right without him.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- You will be. - I can't watch him go away for ever.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59He's the only person I've got in the whole world.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02I'll never be all right without him.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Know why I made it as a champion runner?
0:10:05 > 0:10:06No.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Because of your grandpa.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14I was plagued with injuries, thought I'd never make it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:20We didn't have personal physiotherapists in those days.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22But Jack...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25exercised me, trained me.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I'd never have made it without him.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40He was my friend.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Like...these two, YOUR friends.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- You're not alone, girl. - I didn't think...
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Now...
0:10:50 > 0:10:55shall we go and say a proper goodbye to Jack, then?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Great. But can we please get a move on?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04ENGINE COUGHS AND BANGS
0:11:09 > 0:11:11We're never going to make it now.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Ring Sid. He'll bring the minibus. - Battery's gone.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20- There must be a bus.- Even if there is, it'll only go round the houses.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- We'll never get there in time. - We're gonna let Jack down.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Not on your nelly!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28But you can't. You're...
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Old? You're not wrong. But I've still got some breath left in me.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Flying Freddie Mercer is going to that funeral if it kills him.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- See you at the funeral. ..No offence.- Watch out, lad.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45You could still make it.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Oh, not me. Leg's gone.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50But you go without me.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52But you're Grandpa's best friend.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Tell him ta-ra from me.- Go!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- We're all here, then?- WAIT! >
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I knew I could beat you.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Oh, I don't believe it! It can't be true.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Flying Freddie Mercer!
0:12:14 > 0:12:17And George Devine!
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I followed your careers when I was a boy. Oh, how wonderful!
0:12:21 > 0:12:25We'd best get on with it. Follow me, gentlemen.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27WAIT!
0:12:29 > 0:12:34It's Arthur MacDonald. What an honour, sir! What an honour!
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Let's get on with it. - With pleasure. With pleasure.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43CROWD ROARS
0:13:04 > 0:13:06We're gathered here today to say...
0:13:06 > 0:13:10goodbye...to Jack Hopper.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Athlete...
0:13:12 > 0:13:16friend and beloved grandfather.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24# I can make my world come true All my dreams will see my through
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- # And the fight won't get me down - No! No!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28# My dreams will turn things All around
0:13:28 > 0:13:32# With a smile upon my face I can see a better place
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- # It doesn't matter What may come my way...- No! No!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39# Believe me now I will win some day. #
