What's that?

Crazy about you.

Penalties against pirate towing-operators...

...will be stiffened considerably

in the next quarter.

Driver detention will be replaced

by rig confiscation.

Second offenders under the new decree...

...will be met by state appropriation

of the unauthorized vehicles.

Memorandum Three:

The incidents have been reported recently

in the People's Gazette.

There is to be no dealing in petroleum

by members of the Main Force.

Memorandum Seven:

The Captains of the Hall have

asked that pursuit officers...

...refrain from using the slang "Bronze"

for the Main Force Patrol.

The word is considered disrespectful...

...and citizens should be

actively discouraged from its use.

Kick it in the guts, Barry.

She's the last of the V8s.

You can shut the gate on this one.

It's the duck's guts.

Yeah, she's the last of the V8s.

Sucks nitro.

Phase 4 head....

Tell him about the blower.

The blower, man.

He's in a coma, man!

How the hell did you get all this together?

It just happened, Max, you know?

A piece from here and a piece from there.

So easy?

Come on, Max. You've seen it...

...you've heard it...

...and you're still asking questions?

When do we go for a ride?

I think we've got him.

I hope so.

Yeah, we've got him.

Your top pursuit man wants

to quit the road...

...and we have to seduce him with candy?

People don't believe in heroes anymore.

I know, Macaffee. You want

to give them back their heroes.

You will not try this one on me again.

I do not enjoy wasting money.

Goodbye...

...and good luck!

Thanks, Labatouche.

You're a real human being.

Shut up! Get out of here!

Get out of my way!

The old meat grinder's

humming tonight, eh?

Yeah, Max took out a couple of crazies

just now, that's all.

Another one for your books, eh?

Have you eaten yet?

No, not yet. I'll pick up something later.

That Code 3 you ran down

a few days ago....

-The Nightrider?

-The Nightrider, yeah.

-Got a problem.

-What's that?

His friends. Word is they're out to get you.

-Scoot jockeys?

-Yeah, nomad trash.

Well, I'll add it to my threat collection.

Good boy, Max. You're a good boy.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

We're here to meet a friend.

Comin' on the train.

Nothing comin' on the train

except a couple of crates and a...

...coffin.

Our friend.

You'll have to see the agent

and sign the papers.

Where do we find...

...this agent?

Wait.

That must be your friend over there.

Didn't leave much of him.

Must have cut his heart out, huh?

That's what I meant.

Poor bastard.

The Nightrider...

...that is his name.

Remember him...

...when you look at the night sky.

I will.

Take your hat off.
