Death Race Page #2

functioning auto shop,

just like you'd find

in the outside world.

Each team has their own shop.

We don't help them.

They don't help us.

To the inmates,

you're Jensen Ames,

the new grease monkey.

Nobody will know you're

Frank except us on the team...

and a handful of the guards.

Nobody will talk.

How can you be so sure?

Hennessey. In here, she is

judge, jury and executioner.

The race is her baby.

Anyone who threatens

it, she kills.

The audience for

the race has halved...

since Frank's been

out of the game,

and so has the

corporation's profit.

That's why she needs you.

What's back there?

That's a good question.

Hennessey's had a

whole wing of...

the prison in

isolation for a month.

Working on something.

Time to meet the Monster.

Mustang V8 Fastback.

Took the best

and made it better.

That's a V8 Roush 5.4 liter...

with a Ford Racing

supercharger...

putting out 850

horsepower and close to...

Seven hundred

pounds of torque...

with sequential

multi-port fuel injection.

Looks like there's

a 250 hp NOS unit.

Just in case.

Then we had some

fun customizing...

your personal

protection package.

Three-quarter inch steel

plate, front and sides.

Bulletproof glass will

be here, here and there.

And in the rear, a six-inch

solid steel shield we call...

'the tombstone.'

Oil, smoke, and

napalm for defense.

And twin 30-millimeter

belt-fed...

machine guns for offense.

So where's the ammo?

We get that on race day.

Pity.

Yeah. Everyone thinks

that, first time.

Thinks what?

About turning the guns on

the guards, about escaping.

No, I wasn't thinking that.

Well, I'm glad,

because

Hennessey has got

electric kill switches...

in all the guns

in all the cars.

And all the guard

towers are fortified,

and their guns are

bigger than your guns.

But did I mention

the helicopters,

and also the fact that

we're on an island here...

a mile from the

nearest shoreline?

The only way in

or out of here...

is on that one skinny

bridge you came in on.

What's that?

Most important

part of the car.

How many people

has Frank killed?

Twenty. The mortality rate

is average 62.2% per race.

So Frank beat the

odds four times.

Yeah. Till they beat him.

The race takes place in

three stages over three days.

The first two stages,

you just got to try

and get rid of...

as much of the

competition as you can...

while getting your own skinny

ass over the line alive.

Third stage is

where speed counts.

First one over

that line wins.

Tomorrow morning, you

meet your navigator, Case.

She'll help you navigate the

course, reload your weapons...

and help with the

running of the car.

I'd like to talk to her ahead

of time, before the race.

Yeah. I'd like

a big-tittie girl...

to lick peanut

butter off my toes.

That ain't gonna happen.

It's still a prison,

man. She's a chick.

They get bussed in from the

women's facility upstate.

It's all about ratings,

fast cars, pretty women.

Yeah, Machine Gun

Joe is the only...

one that has a

male navigators.

'Cause he's gay.

Actually, it's 'cause he

goes through them so fast,

the audience gets squeamish.

Yeah, he goes through them.

Through their ass.

He cuts each kill into his...

skin as a souvenir,

right here.

What about the rest

of the drivers?

Lists?

First generation

Chinese-American,

And his father sent

him to business school.

He's the only man in here

who holds a degree from MIT.

He's killed four

men off the track.

That we know of.

Another seven on it.

Hector Grimm,

The Grimm Reaper.

The man's a master.

Clinical psychopath.

Believes that Hennessey

is an avatar...

of the Hindu goddess

of death, Kali,

and that he is her messenger.

Cuckoo.

Three time

consecutive life sentences.

He's killed six men off

the track, another 12 on it.

You've already met the local

chapter of the Brotherhood.

Their driver, Pachenko,

has killed nine men

on the track.

Nobody knows how many off.

Travis Colt,

our local superstar.

Used to race for NASCAR.

Yeah, he was good, too.

Until he fell asleep behind

the wheel of his Mercedes...

with the help of a bottle of

scotch and a handful of ludes.

Wiped out the entire

patio of La Scala.

Sent a dozen people

to the hospital.

God damn it.

It killed three of them.

Technically the best

driver in here,

but a mean son

of a b*tch within.

Ladies.

I hear your man Frank

is still in the...

infirmary with 15

unhealed fractures.

I also hear he's not

gonna make the race.

You hear a lot.

Who's the new fish?

Grease monkey.

Well, well. Monkey.

I got a new name for you.

Igor.

'Cause you about the ugliest...

motherf***er in

this prison, yo.

Funny, huh?

You tell Frank

when you see him.

This race is

between me and him.

This time won't

be no infirmary.

It'll be the morgue.

I'll be sure to pass it on.

Let's get out of here, man.

Man, that is one angry homo.

Who are they?

Work detail.

Get to work on the

track for good behavior.

Those are GPS

tracking bracelets.

In case somebody

decides to go for a swim.

The ring.

This was the old Frank's.

It kind of melted

to his hand.

Frankenstein.

Frankenstein. Frankenstein.

Frankenstein. Frankenstein.

Frankenstein. Frankenstein.

A**holes.

He's all yours.

Don't talk to

the other drivers.

Frank never did.

Part of the mystique.

Let the mask do the work.

Here comes trouble.

There's our girl.

I'm Case.

Frank.

Funny, you don't

sound like Frank.

Don't sweat it.

I know.

I drove with Frank.

I'll watch your back.

Better than you

watched his, I hope.

Still here. Well, I guess I

got to work a little harder.

Get back to your

car, prisoner.

You sure know how

to make friends.

Case. This is mirrored glass.

No one can see in, so you...

might want to take

the mask off.

Unless you like

it under there.

How the hell did he

drive in that thing?

What?

You're better looking

than the last Frank.

A few crashes

should change that.

Start the transmission.

Three, two, one.
