00:02 I know you've thought about it.
00:04 [sigh]
00:06 How far is it across?
00:11 It's 21 miles across.
00:13 Currents changing every few hours.
00:15 Freezing water. The hardest test in all of sport.
00:18 You think I could do it?
00:22 Do you think I can?
00:28 I've decided to swim the English Channel.
00:30 What do you mean?
00:32 I'm going to swim the English Channel.
00:34 No! I'm saying...
00:35 I wasn't asking.
00:36 Please pass the bread.
00:38 A woman?
00:41 She won't get past the seventh male.
00:43 I believe she'll die in that water.
00:45 You know most men believe that we're too weak to compete.
00:48 And what if I make it?
00:49 Then they got a serious problem.
00:51 The thing you love most.
00:56 It terrifies me.
00:58 I can't imagine if something happens to you.
01:00 They're rooting against you, Trudy.
01:05 They want the water to win.
01:08 I came all this way.
01:10 Might as well see England.
01:12 There's no going back.
01:21 Come on, girl.
01:23 Kick your feet!
01:26 I'm not going to let you do this.
01:28 I need you to promise me something.
01:34 Don't let anyone take me out of the water.
01:36 No matter what.
01:38 Six miles in.
01:43 She's slowing down.
01:45 They don't want us to be heroes.
01:47 They don't want us to be anything.
01:54 Jellyfish!
01:55 She's gonna have to swim through.
01:57 Trudy, you don't have to do this.
02:01 I don't know.
02:05 Seems like a nice day for a swim.
