Terry is a biopic of Canadian amputee athlete Terry Fox, dramatizing his national Marathon of Hope run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. The film, produced by Shaftesbury Films, aired as a television movie on CTV in 2005. It was written by Dennis Foon and directed by Don McBrearty, and was created in part because the earlier 1983 film The Terry Fox Story had been criticized by Fox's family for inaccurately depicting his personality.
Shawn Ashmore portrays Fox. Unlike Eric Fryer, who previously portrayed Fox in The Terry Fox Story, Ashmore is not an amputee. For some scenes, a real amputee body double was used, while in others, digital editing was used to superimpose a prosthesis over Ashmore's real leg.
The film's cast also includes Matt Gordon as Fox's publicist Bill Vigars, Catherine Disher and David Huband as Fox's parents Betty and Rolly, and Noah Reid as his brother Darrell.
The film concludes with a mixed montage of footage of the actual Fox and the film version to the music of "Turnaround" by Stan Rogers.

A few days later, Detective Haley appears at Don's doorstep with information involving multiple murders that Don is a suspect in.

Jim Lahey: The liquor are calling the shots Randy.
Jim Lahey: Randy, I've decided to lay off the food for a bit, and go on the booze.
Bubbles: Something's not right... something's fucky.
Bubbles: It's not the best way to be covert, to be honest, to have a fucking camera crew following you around. Think we would have figured that out by now.
[Watching Randy cross-dressing]::Julian: He's a pretty good dancer though.::Bubbles: That's an odd thing to say, Julian...
J-Roc: Ga'head with ya striped shaved head. It's whack, dog, and I aint feelin' it!::Bubbles: I know it is.
Ricky: Do you ever get your head where it just won't shut up and it's talking to itself, 'yap yap yap'. Fuck! What is that?::Bubbles: Thinkin', Ricky. You're thinkin'!::Ricky: That's all that is?

A boy and his dragon. An unusual friendship. An unbelievable adventure.
Stanley Katz: Dinnertime for dinosaurs.
Stanley Katz: He couldn't be a, a dinosaur, could he?::Rosie Bennett: [laughs] Don't be silly, Stanley. Dinosaurs are... extinct. Millions of years.::Stanley Katz: Locked in a time capsule.::Rosie Bennett: Deep-frozen in a natural cryogenic chamber.::Stanley Katz, Rosie Bennett: He's a dinosaur!
Rosie Bennett: Dragon? They're mythological, Stanley. Dinosaurs really existed.::Stanley Katz: Well, how do we know that dragons didn't?::Rosie Bennett: Well, no one's found any fossils.::Stanley Katz: Because they developed much more recently than dinosaurs.::Rosie Bennett: Well, then why aren't there any dragons today?::Stanley Katz: Because we wiped them out. I've been reading all the dragon legends. What are they all about? They're all about killing dragons. And anyway, dragons can't be some kind of race memory about, of, of dinosaurs. We weren't around when dinosaurs were. We didn't show up for another 67 million years.
Stanley Katz: Ollie, I think you're about to learn why Man is the dominant species on this planet.
[after Ollie flies away]::Stanley Katz: I wonder what'll happen to him. I wonder where he'll go.::Rosie Bennett: I wonder what'll happen to us. We stole a dragon!::Stanley Katz: No, Rosie. No, we just, we saved one.
Sgt. Appleyard: Is there something else you want to tell me?::Sally Bennett: I don't think so. Except...::Sgt. Appleyard: Yes?::Sally Bennett: Well, they genuinely believe Ollie would have died in that zoo. They simply wanted to give him a chance. And after all, he is really Stanley's dragon, isn't he?
For reporter Tom Edwards, the eye of the storm was where he least expected it.
Surrender Yourself To A Few Hours Of Forbidden Pleasure...
Terry says... Terry [Terry Terry] says he knows a place
Where we can go and dance alone
But Terry won't, Terry [Terry Terry] won't tell me
If that's blood or campari on his hands
Oh but I'm in love with you, yes I am
And if it's all the same to you
I'd really like a dance
Yes, I'd really like to dance with

Sitting in my father's den, airing his despair
But Terry leaves, Terry [Terry Terry] leaves cigarette
ash everywhere
When dancing up the stairs in his underwear
But I'm in love with you, yes I am, yes I am
You may think that I cannot but I think I can, but I
think I can
But I'd really love a dance with
CHORUS
Terry By Twinkle
Terry, Terry
He said to me he wanted to be near to me
He said he never wanted to be out of my sight
But it's too late to give this boy my love tonight
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.
He said to me he wanted to be close by my side
We had a quarrel, I was untrue on the night he died
And it's too late to tell this boy how great was
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.
He rode into the night, accelerated his motorbike
I cried to him in fright, don't do it, don't do it, don.t do it.
He said to me you are the one I want to be with
He said to me you are the one who my love I shall give
One day he'll know how hard I prayed for him to live
Please wait at the gate of heaven for me, Terry.
He rode into the night, accelerated his motorbike

Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa untuk selamanya
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa sepanjang usia
Hingga tiba saatnya aku pun melihat
Cintaku yang khianat, cintaku berkhianat
Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Aku tanpamu butiran debu
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa untuk selamanya
Namaku cinta ketika kita bersama
Berbagi rasa sepanjang usia
Hingga tiba saatnya aku pun melihat
Cintaku yang khianat, cintaku berkhianat
Menepi, menepilah, menjauh
Semua yang terjadi antara kita
Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Aku tanpamu butiran debu
(Aku terjatuh dan tak bisa bangkit lagi
Aku tenggelam dalam lautan luka dalam) dalam luka dalam
Aku tersesat dan tak tahu arah jalan pulang
Sekian lama menunggu akhirnya kita bertemu
Ku tahu kita saling suka
Kau katakan padaku cerita luka hatimu
Bersamaku kau kan baik saja
Kita bersama mengejar cita
Pegang tanganku katakan cinta
Dan kau akan ku ajak tertawa
Sampai akhir nanti
Nanananana nanananana are you ready love [4x]
Kau katakan padaku segala yang ingin kau tahu
Bersamaku kau kan baik saja
Kita berlari menembus awan
Jangan kau ragu pegang tanganku
Kita kan bersama bahagia
Sampai akhir nanti
Nanananana nanananana are you ready love [7x]
Oh dunia ini penuh kepalsuan
Mungkinkah tiada keikhlasan
Apakah ini suatu pembalasan
Ku sadar kebesaranMu Tuhan
Aku bagai seorang
Kembara jalanan
Terombang-ambing di lautan gelora
Ku cari kebahagiaan
Dan untuk menopang kasih
Mungkinkah suratan
Hidup kan selalu sendirian
Reff:
Hati membeku mengingatkan
Kata janji manismu
Ku dilambung angan-angan
Belaian kasih sayang suci darimu
Oh kejamnya
Lidah tidak berulang
Ucapan cinta mengiris kalbu
Ku kan pergi membawa diri
Cinta di hati terkubur lagi
Jika ku pahami mengapa terjadi
Peristiwa pahit menggores hati
Perjalanan hidup ini sudah tertulis
Ku tempuhi dengan kesabaran
Ku sadar kebesaranMu Tuhan
Kekasihmu tak mencintai dirimu sepenuh hati
Dia selalu pergi meninggalkan kau sendiri
Mengapa kau mempertahankan cinta pedih menyakitkan
Kau masih saja membutuhkan dia, membutuhkan dia
Kau harusnya memilih aku
Yang lebih mampu menyayangimu, berada di sampingmu
Kau harusnya memilih aku
Tinggalkan dia, lupakan dia, datanglah kepadaku
Kau tak pantas tuk disakiti
Kau pantas tuk dicintai
Bodohnya dia yang meninggalkanmu (meninggalkanmu)
Demi cinta yang tak pasti ooow
Kau harusnya memilih aku
Yang lebih mampu menyayangimu, berada di sampingmu
Kau harusnya memilih aku
Tinggalkan dia, lupakan dia, datanglah kepadaku
Kau harusnya memilih aku
Yang lebih mampu menyayangimu, berada di sampingmu
Kau harusnya memilih aku
Tinggalkan dia, lupakan dia, datanglah kepadaku
Kau harusnya memilih aku
Yang lebih mampu menyayangimu, berada di sampingmu
Kau harusnya memilih aku
* sampai hati kau tolak cintaku
Buatku menangisi diriku sendiri
Jujur saja aku tak terima
Atas perbuatanmu padaku saat ini
Reff:
Pada saatnya nanti kau pasti menerima
Cintaku kepadamu dengan setulus hatimu
Tanpa harus menyakiti hatiku
Lihat saja nanti kau milikku
Repeat *
Repeat reff
Pada saatnya nanti kau pasti menerima
Cintaku kepadamu dengan setulus hatimu
Tanpa harus menyakiti hatiku
Aku di sini menunggumu
Masih setia mencintai
Meskipun kini aku tak tahu
Aku tak tahu engkau dimana
Di sini aku merindukanmu
Kemana harus aku mencarimu
Tak pernah ada kabar darimu
Tega hatimu meninggalkan aku
Tanpa kejelasan darimu
Masihkah engkau mencintaiku menyayangiku
Reff:
Kembalilah kepadaku dan jangan kau pergi lagi
Ku tak sanggup jalani hidup tanpamu
Seandainya engkau tahu sekian lama ku menunggu
Kehadiranmu kembali kekasihku
Apa salahku hingga kau sakiti aku
Saat cintaku mulai tumbuh dan berbunga
Kau goreskan kepedihan yang tak pernah ku duga
Kau patahkan semua harapanku
Kau hancurkan semua impianku
Aku pun mengerti kita sungguh jauh berbeda
Bagai langit dan bumi yang terpisah jauh
Namun bukan berarti itu menjadi ukuran
Haruskah bulan bintang ku turunkan
Tuk buktikan semua perasaan
Reff:
Tepatnya malam minggu kau putuskan aku
Tuk menjadi kekasihmu
Tepatnya malam minggu kau tinggalkan aku
Kau bawa ku dalam kehancuran
Kau tinggalkan aku dalam sebuah derita
Sungguh berat bebanku tuk harus melupakanmu
Sumpah mati aku tak bisa hidup tanpamu
Namun kau coba lupakanku dengan cinta yang baru
Haruskah ku teriak di depanmu
Repeat reff
Apa salahku, apa dosaku, hingga kau pergi dariku
Aku cuma ingin bertemu
Aku cuma ingin pegang tanganmu
Walau aku tahu rasa cinta ini
Tak mungkin jadi satu
Tatap mataku sekarang sayang
Dan kau tak bisa berdusta kepadaku
Masih jelas hati itu aku sayang kamu
Reff:
Sekali ini saja ku buat kau bahagia
Dan aku akan pergi tuk merelakanmu
Sekali ini saja kau ada untukku
Dan aku akan kehilangan kamu untuk selamanya
Masih jelas hatimu itu dapat bicara
Oh aku sayang kamu
Why'd you never listen to me?
I could be invisible to you

Sorry if your heart is broken

Dalam hati dalam mimpi kau selalu ku cari
Hanya dikau untuk dikau cintaku bersemi
Aku bukan bayang-bayang puing cinta masa lalu
Yang kau pendam, yang mencekam hatimu
Aku bagai kertas putih yang tiada tertera
Aku juga lenteramu pelita hidupku
Aku memang bukan dia yang mengumbar citra cinta
Aku nyata aku ini cintamu
Reff:
Kasih sayangku menghapus dukamu
Ku kan membalut luka lama
Ku kan menjadi penawar rindumu
Ku kan setia, aku selalu di sisimu
Repeat reff
Dalam mimpi dalam hati cintaku bersemi
We've been to a pub now we're in a club, my friend Terry's at the bar.
I've taken a pill, I'm feeling unchilled, it's not going well so far.
The music's too loud, I'm lost in the crowd, I've got demons in my beer.
Terry, I'm having a bad one.
Terry, I'm having a bad one.
Terry.
Terry's OK, he's coming my way.
He's shouting brilliant in my ear.
I can't find the words, they all seem absurd and I start to get the fear.
I try to explain then I lose it again, Terry's hugging everyone.
Terry, I'm having a bad one.
Terry, it's really full on.
Terry, I'm having a bad one.
Terry.
A shoal of people swim towards me
I think I'm lost for all eternity
I drift in psychedelic slow mo, I let my ego go.
Terry, I'm having a big one, oh won't you help me Terry
I was dying, I was crying now I'm flying and I'm lying on the ceiling
What a feeling, I'm still reeling.
Me and Terry are having such a good one.
Terry.
