Need for Speed Page #3

Synopsis: Framed by an ex-partner for a murder he did not commit, Tobey Marshall, a financially struggling custom-car builder and street-racer, spends two years in jail thinking about one moment. Fresh out of prison he reacquires the fastest car his workshop ever built and sold, and seeks to enter a secretive and extremely high-stakes race known as The DeLeon. His purpose; redemption, recognition from the world of racing and to solve his problems. Yet all this fades in comparison to his driving reason. Revenge. Above all, revenge. This is a story about love, redemption, revenge and motor oil all swirled together

you didn't go faster than 180.

You got a big mouth for a fan.

Yeah, well, then let me race.

I'll be happy to have you, Pete.

- Awesome. I'm in.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey. Sit this one out.

No. Let him be a big boy.

Three identical Ageras.

After you.

The finish line is at the end

of the bridge, over the 684.

The first car to get to the other side wins.

Tobey.

This is my vision.

This is how I saw you winning De Leon.

You beat Dino, take his car and win.

Wow.

(CAR HORN HONKING)

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

(ENGINE REVVING)

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

(GRUNTING)

(LAUGHS)

(HORNS HONKING)

Whoa!

(GRUNTING)

Thanks, little buddy!

You got it, man!

Yeah, Pete.

(LAUGHING)

Come on!

We got him, Pete.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

No!

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

No, no, no, no, no.

Pete!

No!

(INAUDIBLE)

No!

(INAUDIBLE)

PRIEST:
"Fear not, for I am with you."

"Be not dismayed, for I am your God."

"Behold, all those who

were incensed against you"

"shall be ashamed and disgraced."

"They shall be nothing."

"Those who war against you

shall be as nothing."

"For I shall hold your

right hand, saying to you,"

"'Fear not, I will help you."'

Let's go through this

again, Mr. Marshall.

A couple witnesses say they

may have seen three cars,

but we can't find the third car.

Why don't you use that

diagram there to show us

where you claim

the third car to have been.

My car was about two car lengths ahead.

This is where Pete was,

and Dino was right behind him.

He tapped his back bumper

hard, and at an angle.

Dino has two witnesses who say

they were with him the whole day.

And the owner of Brewster Motors

reported two Koenigseggs

stolen last week.

Just seven minutes before police

arrived at the scene of the crash.

That's his uncle, okay?

They're lying.

All right? He was there.

Dino was there.

Mr. Marshall,

you're the only one

that can place Dino at the scene.

No way is this happening.

This isn't happening.

Pete... This isn't happening.

(PHONE RINGING)

- Bill Ingram speaking.

GUARD:
- Sign here.

(ON PHONE) Mr. Ingram,

Tobey Marshall.

I need to borrow your Mustang

to race De Leon.

(INGRAM COUGHS)

INGRAM:
Excuse me, son?

You want to race

my Mustang in De Leon?

What's in it for me?

TOBEY:
When I win,

I will give you half the cars.

That's around $4 million for you.

INGRAM:
I'll think about it.

I'll call Julia.

GUARD:
All right.

Step forward. Go. Everybody.

Come on. Come to me.

That's my boy.

Is Joe in?

Already on the road with the Beast.

If this thing works, we're

gonna need that head start.

What about Finn?

We haven't convinced him yet,

but we will. It's Finn.

But more importantly,

do we even have a vehicle?

I'll know in an hour.

(CAR APPROACHING)

Hey, thanks for dropping it off.

And thank Ingram for me, please.

So, what do you think?

First American car to win De Leon?

Definitely.

You don't even have an invite.

Monarch is gonna want

this car in the race.

Nobody knows where

the race is until you get the invite,

so exactly where would you

be driving off to?

Well, on the low,

we know it's in California,

we just don't know where.

And we also know

that one of the drivers is...

- Benny.

- Okay, I'll shut up.

California is quite a big state

and you might remember

that I'm a numbers girl.

Okay, so what are

your numbers telling you?

There's a drivers' meeting

the night before the race.

And that means you

have 45 hours or less

to get from New York

to somewhere in California.

And your problem is...

We better get going.

It's 45 hours and counting.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, wait, wait!

You're not going anywhere.

You need a right-seater.

And Ingram is not going to leave this car

in the hands of an ex-con

who is about to leave

the state and break parole.

44 hours and 59 minutes left.

Let's go.

Okay.

Maybe we can just ditch her

at a gas station or something.

Hey, man. Look, you want her gone?

I'll broom her ass out. Okay?

Just follow me, dude. I'll have you

driving like a bat out of hell.

She'll be screaming to get out of this car.

She's just crazy, you know?

She talks too much.

Okay, so you've never

been a right-seater.

Well, if you see something

I'm doing wrong,

just point it out.

First of all, you're wearing high heels.

We just call them heels.

Ah.

But if it's a real problem,

then I can always...

I've got a change of shoes

in my overnight bag.

Yep, okay.

So, is there anything else

that right-seaters are supposed to do?

Be quiet.

(ON RADIO) Hello, Beauty.

This is Maverick speaking,

the most awesome pilot in the universe.

Just wanted to give you a heads-up

and tell you about a little

stop-and-go traffic up ahead.

Nothing too serious.

We got traffic up ahead.

We're gonna need to reroute.

I don't see any traffic.

Well, Benny does,

and he sees everything.

All right. Now, give me

a dollar on the next exit.

What's a dollar?

- Hard right for lane three.

- Uh...

In three,

two,

- one.

- Uh, no.

Now.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(GRUNTING)

BENNY:
You're looking a little

filthy down there, Beauty.

- It's time to get you clean.

JULIA:
- What?

BENNY:
Hard left U in three, two, one.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(YELPS)

Oh, my God!

(TRUCK HORN HONKING)

BENNY:
Go three...

Now.

BENNY:
You are moving, baby!

Oh!

(HORNS HONKING)

You do at least see the SUV

that we are about to slam into?

(HONKING HORN)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(HONKING CONTINUES)

Oh, you meant that one?

The green one?

(SIGHS)

Tobey!

(HONKING)

- You see the bus, right?

- What's that?

The bus!

(HONKING INSISTENTLY)

The bus! The bus! The bus!

Go two, now.

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

Looks like a scene

out of Speed down there.

Hard left in three, Keanu.

Oh, you mean that bus, bus, bus.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Just so you know,

your friend Benny sucks.

BENNY:
Hard left in one.

(BENNY LAUGHING)

My man!

You got some skills, boy.

You know you bad.

You know you bad!

(SEAT BELT CLICKS)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

Beauty, it looks to me like you're

all clear from here, my friend.

That's right.

I'm just gonna keep

doing my thing, and...

(SINGING) Fly like an eagle, to the sea

Fly like an eagle

Let my spirit carry me

Go on and fly!

Oh...

(TURNS OFF)

You know, I get that driving fast

is going to be necessary,

but driving like a complete maniac

in order to scare me out of the car

is not going to work.

Are you sure about that?

Is that what you think?

Whatever you think about me,

I'm sure it's wrong.

Educate me.

So you think just because

I make a living buying cars

designed to triple the speed limit,

and because I drive a Maserati,

and by the way, I'm an awesome driver,

that you have the right

to condescend to me?

Well, this is going to be the longest

44 hours and 11 minutes of your life.

I'm not trying to be an a**hole.

You don't have to try that hard.

The sound of a guy called the Monarch

who hosts a secret race
