Zundapp hits a button and the TREADMILL starts Rod's wheels

spinning at a high rate of speed.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

But after microscopic examination,

I have found that it has one small

weakness. When hit with an

electromagnetic pulse, it becomes

extremely dangerous.

GREM:

SMILE ---

Grem pushes a World Grand Prix CAMERA - the same one that

was in the box back at the oil derrick. He points it at Rod

Redline.

GREM:

--- for the camera.

ROD REDLINE:

Is that all you want? I got a whole

act.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

You were very interested in this

camera on the oil platform. Now you

will witness what it really does.

ROD REDLINE:

Whatever you say, Professor.

Acer pushes a TV MONITOR toward Rod. On it, surveillance

footage from the party. Clearly, they were watching and

recording him there.

ACER:

You talked up a lot of cars last

night. Which one's your associate?

ROD REDLINE:

Your mother. Oh no, I'm sorry. It

was your sister. You know, I can't

tell them apart these days.

39.

GREM:

(HAD ENOUGH)

Could I start it now, Professor?

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

Fifty percent power.

(to Rod Redline)

This camera is actually an

electromagnetic pulse emitter.

ACER:

(re:
a girl on the TV)

What about her? Did you give it to

her?

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

The Allinol is now heating to a

boil, dramatically expanding,

causing the engine block to crack

under the stress, forcing oil into

the combustion chamber.

Rod Redline's engine starts to CRACK and BREAK.

ACER:

(re:
a guy on the TV)

How about him? You talk to him?

ROD REDLINE:

(to Professor Zundapp)

What do I care? I can replace an

engine block.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

You may be able to, but after full

impact of the pulse, unfortunately,

there will be nothing to replace.

ACER:

How about him? Does he have it?

The monitor reveals MATER, rolling out of the bathroom and

down the hall.

Rod Redline, seeing this, does the world's most subtle double

take. We caught it, but there's no way anyone else in the

room could have ---

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

That's him. He's the one.

GREM:

Roger that, Professor Z.

40.

ROD REDLINE:

No!

As Grem turns up the machine even MORE, the Professor makes a

call.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP (INTO PHONE)

Yes sir. We believe the infiltrator

has passed along sensitive

information.

(beat, listening)

I will take care of it before any

damage can be done.

The Professor hangs up, turns to the room.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

The project is still on schedule.

You will find this second agent ---

Zundapp kicks the camera's power into the RED.

PROFESSOR ZUNDAPP

--- and kill him.

On the MONITOR - With Mater's frozen image on the screen we

see Rod EXPLODE in the reflection.

EXT. JAPAN - DAY

Over television pre-roll of Japan:

BRENT MUSTANGBURGER (V.O.)

Japan. Land of the rising sun.

Where ancient tradition meets

modern technology. Welcome to the

inaugural running of the World

Grand Prix.

ON OUR ANNOUNCERS as they introduce themselves:

BRENT MUSTANGBURGER

I'm Brent Mustangburger, here with

racing legends Darrell Cartrip and

David Hobbscap. There's never been

a competition like this before.

SHOTS OF THE PITS as the racers fuel up.

BRENT MUSTANGBURGER (V.O.)

First, Allinol, making its debut

tonight as the required fuel for

all these great champions.

41.

BRENT MUSTANGBURGER (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Second, the course itself, and it's

like nothing we've ever seen.

David, how exactly does this

competition work?

DAVID HOBBSCAP (V.O.)

Well, Brent, all three of these

street courses are classic round-

the-house racetracks.

OUTLINES OF THREE RACE COURSES are shown. They're labeled

Japan, Italy and England, and are different in shape and

size.

DAVID HOBBSCAP (V.O.)

This means that the LMP and Formula

cars should break out of the gate

in spectacular fashion.

SHOTS OF THE RACERS as they weave up the track, practicing.

DAVID HOBBSCAP (V.O.)
