Right.

What?

It's...

It's your mother.

She passed away.

Her funeral is...

Actually, it was last week.

If i can do anything...

You can't. I can.

LOUIS CYR VS. DAVID

MICHAUD QUBEC CITY, 1887

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen,

to this momentous event

featuring two extraordinary

forces of nature!

Up for grabs is the new Canadian

Strongman Championship Belt!

What's going on here?

We're ready, we're ready.

This is ridiculous! How

are you gonna do this?

Quickly.

And now, without further ado,

from Quebec City, your idol,

David "Baby" Michaud!

And from Montreal, Louis Cyr.

Shake hands.

Ladies and gentlemen, the first

feat of strength: The one-arm lift.

Baby Michaud, starting at 158 pounds.

A successful lift of 158 pounds!

A successful lift of 218 pounds!

Four...

Five...

I'm not feeling well.

I've been informed that

Baby Michaud has an injury.

According to the rules, an

injury voids the challenge.

You're a bunch of cheaters!

Calm down! Please calm down!

Is it a forfeit? Does he forfeit?

Michaud forfeits!

Let's go!

- All right, that's enough!

Unbelievable!

Congratulations! You're

the Canadian champion.

Here's your belt, your $500.

Well done. Goodbye.

How's that for glory, eh?

All right, let's go home.

Hold on a second.

You should be proud.

Well done, is what I'm trying to say.

Thanks, Gus.

- Yeah, congratulations!

It's quite a feat!

A whole 7 pounds...

Are you mocking me?

Apparently, there's

something new in your home.

She's a quick one!

She decided to arrive ahead of time.

Look, Lili, it's your daddy.

The strongest man in Canada.

Lili?

Well, miliana, like we said.

But it seems a bit long

for this little thing.

You waiting for her to come to you?

No, no...

She can't be too heavy for you! Come on!

She has her father's hands!

He never mentioned his ulcer after that,

except to say that it

was cured by that baby.

You.

He sure knew how to thank me.

- Don't talk that way.

You're not the one

trapped inside these walls.

Didn't you bring something for me?

Don't you want to hear the rest?

After his win in Quebec City,

his life was a whirlwind.

A Canadian tour, an American

tour. He broke records everywhere.

Politicians, the press,

charities, sponsors...

everyone wanted a piece of him.

I'm sorry, gentlemen, but miliana

isn't giving interviews yet.

Will you be all right?

- Yes.

Today's a big day. Not too nervous?

No.

This way, this way.

Is he here?

Oh, Louis! My Louis...

If your mother could see you now...

Hey, big bro'.

Pierrot?

Pierre.

No, Pierrot!

Your granddaughter, miliana.

Lili.

Hello, Lili.

I don't mean to interrupt,

but we should go,

the Prime Minister

wishes to shake his hand.
