Death Race Page #7

Synopsis: In 2012, amid economic chaos and high unemployment, Americans watch by the millions as criminals with life sentences race armored cars on Terminal Island. Two-thirds of the combatants die but the winner may earn his freedom. On the day he loses his job, steelworker Jensen Ames is arrested for his wife's murder. Sent to Terminal Island, he's offered an out by the steely and manipulative Warden Hennessey - race as the popular mask-wearing (but now dead) champion, Frankenstein, or rot in prison. Jensen makes the bargain. As the three-stage race approaches, he realizes that the whole thing may be a set up - can an anonymous man behind a mask get revenge and win his release?

She was my chance

at something else.

And that b*tch took

her away from me.

'... that thy days may

be long upon the land...

'which the Lord thy...

Giveth thee.

'Thou shalt not...

'kill.'

You should take a

break. Get some sleep.

I'm okay, Lists.

Concentration for the race.

Concentration, that's what

you need. Gotta get your rest.

Maybe you're right.

I will take that

break after all.

Good call.

Guy can't grind for sh*t.

Move.

Looking for me?

Hold him.

You killed my wife.

Well, now, maybe I did.

I don't care if

the queen b*tch...

wants to save you

for the track.

Nobody disrespects the

Brotherhood and lives.

Put him down.

I'm going to take your head.

What the f***.

Hennessey made me

do it. Ulrich...

Ulrich too.

Let me go, man.

I'll do anything.

You're going to die here.

F*** you.

Now, now, boys.

Let's save that

for the track, huh?

Coach.

Take a look at this.

What the hell were

they building in here?

We'll find out soon enough.

Prisoner.

It's time to get ready.

Welcome to the next

installment of Death Race.

Stage 2 begins.

Grimm, Colt and

Siad are gone.

Six remaining drivers alive.

Pachenko.

Riggins.

Carson.

Three-time winner

Machine Gun Joe.

And starting from

the back of the...

grid, his archrival,

Frankenstein.

This could be the last time

we see Frankenstein race.

Just one more victory

and he wins his freedom.

If Joe doesn't

kill him first.

Pay attention.

Where is he?

What are you doing?

What's he doing?

He's dropping back. He's

not even trying to race.

We're gonna have

a little talk.

We're gonna be done by the

time we leave the tunnel.

Did you kill the old Frank?

What?

Tunnel comes up fast.

Remember what happened

to the napalm canister?

Be a real shame for

that to happen to you.

Did you kill the old Frank?

I sabotaged his rear weapons.

Why?

Hennessey.

She said she'd sign my release

papers. It's my life back.

I'd have killed him, too.

I didn't kill him.

He wouldn't quit.

I just wanted...

to make sure he didn't win.

Why would Hennessey

want that?

To keep Frank here, racing.

And yesterday?

She wanted me

to set you back.

So I'm not supposed

to win, either.

Just make it exciting.

That's all I wanted to know.

Hold tight.

Come on. Just come on through.

Damn.

He's going after Pachenko.

Sword and shield

ahead. Take defense.

No.

There's someone

I need to kill.

You're out in front.

Who are you going

to shoot at?

You're a dead man.

I told you to take defense.

He's too heavily armored.

F***.

Hit the smoke.

This is a race. You
