Don't you turn your back on me.

You can't teII me what to do.

It's my Iife to Iive.

You waIk out that door now,

ANNOUNCER 1 [ON TV] : Rex Racer,

driving the black-and-red Uniron car...

...got into a tangle with Richenbach,

who was favored to win.

ANNOUNCER 2:
That was no tangle.

He took Richenbach out.

ANNOUNCER 1 :

Well, we don't know that...

...but I imagine the WRL

will be reviewing this crash.

ANNOUNCER 2:
That's the third DNF crash

Racer's been in.

-Turn it off, Speed.

-They ought to just suspend him.

I don't want you watching this anymore.

The triaI of Rex Racer shook the WorId

Racing League to its very foundation.

Once a rat, aIways a rat...

...and in my book,

Rex Racer's nothing but a rat.

ANNOUNCER 3:

Did you see that?

That will definitely leave a mark.

And Rex Racer nearly took

Yokima's head off with that jump.

ANNOUNCER 3:

Hey, there is no doubt in my mind...

...that Rex Racer is one of

the dirtiest drivers in the world.

For five years, Rex Racer took orders

from the criminaI underworId.

[SPEAKING IN ITALIAN]

KIDS [CHANTING] :

Fight! Fight! Fight!

No! You stop this!

You stop it right now!

BIG MOUTH:

I just toId him the truth!

His crumbum brother doesn't beIong

on a racetrack, he beIongs in jaiI!

[BOTH YELL]

The indictment brought down the

perenniaI racing powerhouse, Uniron.

Uniron was Iinked to the notorious fixer,

BIackjack BeneIIi.

StiII in prison today...

...BeneIIi was rumored to be

behind the Casa Cristo tragedy.

This is one of the worst crashes

I have ever s--

REPORTER [ON TV] :

How could this happen? This is terrible.

This is just terrible.

And still no sign of driver Rex Racer.

MOM:

Oh.

[SPEED CRYING]

MOM:

I know.

CROWD [CHANTING] :

Go! Go! Go!

[ANNOUNCERS SPEAKING

IN ITALIAN AND RUSSIAN]

ALL [CHANTING] :

Go! Go! Go!

''Forget the past,'' he's saying.

''This is my night!''

-He's coming hard.

-It's gonna be cIose!

ANNOUNCER:
Unbelievable!

A split second late. The record still stands.

Come on, Iet's go. Victory Lane.

Folks, I knew Rex Racer, and if he's up

there somewhere watching this race...

...you can bet your ass

he's damn proud of his little brother.

ANNOUNCER [O VER SPEAKERS] : Pulling into

Victory Lane, the winner, Speed Racer!

He's going to be very good.

No, he's going to be the best...

...if they don't destroy him first.

[IN JAPANESE]

[LAUGHING]

[ALL LAUGHING]

[SPRITLE MOUTHING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Hi-ya!

KEN:

Ha! Ha! Ha!

[BERZERKO LAUGHING]

Hey, hey! What are you two doing?

Nothing.

Was that the same nothing

that broke my Iast couch?

No, that was a totaIIy different nothing.
