Driven Page #6

Synopsis: Talented rookie race-car driver Jimmy Bly has started losing his focus and begins to slip in the race rankings. It's no wonder, with the immense pressure being shoveled on him by his overly ambitious promoter brother as well as Bly's romance with his arch rival's girlfriend Sophia. With much riding on Bly, car owner Carl Henry brings former racing star Joe Tanto on board to help Bly. To drive Bly back to the top of the rankings, Tanto must first deal with the emotional scars left over from a tragic racing accident which nearly took his life.

I'm sure Carl Henry is not

too happy with Moreno.

Now Bly wants to make a move.

Hold on, Memo Moreno

trying to make...

...the same move on Jimmy Bly,

his teammate.

Memo, no passing. Do you hear me?

l'm right there, Carl.

Lift off. Steady.

What are you doing?

Moreno appears to have something

to prove here.

He gets alongside Bly again.

Damn it, we went over this!

Lift off!

Lift off! You work for me.

l said, lift off.

Why don't you let him drive?

Come on, baby.

-Come on. Come on. Come on!

-Shut up!

l've got to do this.

With his teammate in the battle

for the championship...

...Moreno decided to stick

his nose into this fight.

Hey, Memo, back off.

Only inches separate

these two cars.

Memo, you're too close.

What's going on here?

Bly is spinning.

He gets it under control.

He's going backwards on the track.

Jimmy, what are you doing?

Jimmy, what the hell are you doing?

Memo?

Get out! Oh, God!

We're getting chopper pictures.

This is horrible.

The car is upside down.

It's in a body of water.

Moreno is pinned underwater.

lt's okay, Memo. l'm here.

Beau, Memo crashed.

Jimmy went after him. You gotta help.

He went into the river at Turn 5.

l'll get you out, Memo.

lt's gonna be okay.

-l'm on my way.

-Beau, what are you gonna do?

Please be careful.

Oh, God! My foot!

Oh, come on.

Hang on, Memo! Hang on!

-Help me!

-Get out!

-Help me!

-Get out, now!

lt's gonna blow up!

Hurry!

We've got Bly and Brandenburg

to help a man in trouble.

Rescue teams are on the way,

but the remote location...

...of this crash makes

it difficult to reach them.

Lift it up, higher. Lift it!

Take a breath, Memo.

Come on. We're here.

We're gonna get you out.

Now!

Come on. One, two....

Get it over. Memo!

We got you, Memo.

-Come on, Memo.

-l can't move my leg!

Come on.

lt's gonna be okay.

Fuel everywhere.

They better get that driver

out of there and themselves too.

That fuel could ignite,

it could be floating on the water.

Come on!

Hurry up!

That is horrifying.

I've never seen anything like that.

It's unbelievable.

Worried about the well-being

of another driver, another competitor.

Goes to show the kind of men

they are, their true fabric.

But they worked as a team together.

Oh, my God, look at that!

Are they okay?

It looks like they are.

I think I see--

I see movement.

l can't move my legs.

l can't move them.

Jimmy?

Jimmy? You all right?

lt's just my foot.

You'll be fine.

You'll come through this fine.

-How's Memo?

-Fine, they're looking after him.

Our thoughts, of course, with Memo

Moreno and his family at this point.

Hey, Memo.

Hey, Joe.

How do l look?

Never looked better.

-Jimmy?

-Yeah?

Hey.

Thanks.

-Memo, l'm sorry.

-You came back for me.

Saved my life.

We race.

We take chances.

l took this chance.

So look at me.

Look at me.

Don't see you.

See me.

One who made a mistake.

That's all.

lt wasn't a mistake.

How are you doing?

l'm all right.

All right if l come in?

Yeah.

You tried to get him out.

So did you.

You were there first.

l mean, he almost got you killed

and you still tried.

Anybody would've.

Would they?

You're a good man, Jimmy.

l'm sorry, l didn't want to win

the championship this way.

See you.

The old Joe Tanto had a couple

of attributes you should hold on to.

Wasn't long ago you would've said:

''There but for the grace

of God, it's not me.''

Quietly taking your place in the pack.

Where is that guy?

Where has he gone?

Who cares?

l do.

l miss him.

You're the first to know

l'm terminating the kid's contract.

-Why?

-l don't think he's the real deal.

l don't think he's mentally

tough enough.

l don't think he's adult enough!

Gets out of a car in a race.

-Saved a man's life.

-l'm not here to debate!

l'm gonna go for Brandenburg.

Next year.

-What are you doing?

-Whatever it takes to win.

-His brother know?

-He's brokering the deal.

-Don't do this.

-lt's done!

-Then undo it.

-You suddenly care.

-Don't kill him off!

-Don't kill him off?

l watched you kill yourself!

You had everything,

and you threw it all away!

And l had to sit there and watch!

The slowest man in the fastest sport.

l wake up every morning,

my legs are on fire.

l know l'm gonna have to sit

in this chair for the rest of the day.

But if they gave me one more chance,

l'd do it all over again.

lt ain't gonna happen.

We are all damaged.

l've got an excuse.

You don't.

Do you?

l want you to know that l know

about you going out to Brandenburg.

Where have you been?

Meeting after meeting.

l've got a dinner right now.

Catch you later?

-Yeah, l'll see you tomorrow.

-Okay.

Hello.

Jimmy, it's Sophia.

ls everything okay?

Something l have to tell you.

What restaurant did you pick?

Nina, you're in great hands.

You are going to love this place.

-DeMille.

-Jimmy.

What are you doing here?

l'll just be a minute.

Please don't walk away from me.

Did you sell me out?

Are you working for Brandenburg now?

We should take this inside.

Why are you doing this to me?

Wait a minute! Who sold out first?

l would never sell out my own brother.

When you stopped listening

to me that's what you did.

l just tried something different.

For the first time

l thought for myself.

-Was that wrong?

-Shutting me out is different.

And l was with you all the way

until you handed your mind over...

...to that has-been.

Who got you here?

Who got all the glory? You couldn't

book a plane ticket without me.

You left me, and let me

tell you something:

There's no worse feeling

getting someone...

...to the top only

to have them drop you.

You did that, you.

Ten years, Jimmy!

All a waste.

lt was coming together.

Why not wait a bit longer?

Because l'm not your goddamn waiter.

l was your manager.

And l deserve better than that.

l deserve much better!

Now you're over, and l am not going

down in flames with you, brother.

That's one trip you're taking alone.

Welcome to the Grand Prix.

It's a sunny day.

It's going to be a great race.

After an eventful season...

...this comes down

to championship time.

Everything's set.

Let's get this thing signed.

After the race it'll be a madhouse.

What do you say?

Let's hear what she says.

What's her idea?

Her idea? What do you mean her idea?

How does it feel?

What? How does what feel?

To be used.

What, l didn't treat you with manners?

You're gonna blow this over that?

What, do you want to hit me?

Would that make you feel better?

-Hurt?

-A little.

Didn't hurt.

Call that a punch?

Did you know?

-Know what?

-Know about my brother?

Yeah, l knew.

You could've told me.

l hoped you could work things out.

He was right, you know.

Never booked a plane ticket.

Remember l said by the season's end

you're gonna know what you're made of?

lt's the end of the season.

lt's up to you.

Carl, you have to let me race.

l can win.

Any driver that can't get out of

the car in five seconds can't run.
