Ghost Rider Page #2

your daddy's accident?

Well...

I'm just looking for a sign.

What kind of sign?

That I can take a negative

and turn it into a positive.

That I can have a second chance too.

Look, at least promise me

you'll think about taking the cars out.

I'll think about it.

I knew you were here.

I could smell your fear.

Hello, Gressil.

Why are you here?

Wallow.

And what do you want from us?

I've come for the contract

of San Venganza.

Legend has it that the contract

was stolen and hidden...

...in a graveyard not far from here.

And now you're gonna help me find it.

Abigor.

And when we find it, then what?

Then we'll take this world...

...one city...

...at a time.

What about Mephistopheles?

Don't... ever...

...say that name.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to

the Johnny Blaze Leap of Death!

Yeah!

Johnny B!

Hey, JB.

You're stepping on Karen.

What was it

you were gonna say, Mack?

I just ran a second check

on the ramps. They look good.

Crowd's kind of out of control.

Johnny, you know you don't

have to do this, don't you?

Does this suit fit all right?

It feels a little loose.

The suit's fine.

Would you bring me my hat, Mack?

Thank you.

You can't live in fear.

All right, we're up here on the right.

Mr. Blaze. Amy Page, event publicity.

- Have time for a quick interview?

- I don't know how long...

...you been doing your job,

but Johnny Blaze don't do interviews.

Not even for an old friend?

Hey, Johnny.

Hi.

I'll do it.

Okay, and ready

in five, four, three, two...

How's your dad?

Johnny Blaze, thank you for talking

to us before your big jump.

No one has ever attempted

such a distance before...

...three hundred feet

from field goal to field goal.

What's going through your mind

right now?

You look really good.

I've seen you on TV.

You know, I watch a lot of TV

and you do a really good job.

Johnny, what drives somebody

to risk their life for entertainment?

I heard you got married.

Oh, no. No, it didn't happen.

No?

Most of the time the press focuses on

the crashes, the broken bones...

...the costs of what you do.

Are there any other costs?

- commemorating this

epic milestone...

...in the life of

the world's greatest stuntman.

And remember, 40 percent

of all proceeds tonight...

...go to the Barton Blaze Foundation...

...dedicated to helping those in need

here in our home state...

Okay, well...

Thank you for this revealing peek

into the life of Johnny Blaze.

I'm Roxanne Simpson, on scene.

And we're out.

- You're gonna stay for the jump, right?

- You know, we gotta get back.

Plus, I never liked watching you jump.

- Please.

- Sign this.

Roxanne?

- Come on, just one signature.

- You need to get back to your seat.

- You don't have to push.

- All right.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say

you two had some kind of history.

That was it, Mack.

The sign.

The sign?

- Sure you don't wanna stick around?

- No.

It hasn't started yet.

I'll buy you a doughnut.

Come on, Roxie, it's Johnny Blaze.

Let's go.

Thank God you listened to me,

took the cars out.

It would've been suicide otherwise.

This way if you come up short, see...

...you'll come down

on some nice, soft, green...

...grass.

Johnny Blaze will not be jumping

...but instead will be leaping

six UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

Never before has any man attempted

such a death-defying stunt.

I took the cars out.

Why? Why, JB?

Why wouldn't you tell me?

- Because you would have thrown a fit.

- Call me old-fashioned...

...I'm funny that way. Human sacrifice

makes me uncomfortable.

Why, JB? Why helicopters, man?

You know what I've been

thinking about? A new stunt.

But instead of the cars

or the ring of fire...

...a helicopter.

My dad thought it'd be cool.

- He was right.

- Yeah.

Okay. Okay. This is the deal, man.

Halfway down the ramp I want you

to hit the NOS, okay?

Do not hit the NOS too early.

If you hit it too early, you are screwed.

You got that?

Hey, JB, where's your head at, man?

She's probably on the interstate

by now, huh?

How much NOS

did you put in the tanks?

Enough to shame the space shuttle.

Chief, go ahead.

Oh, God. He ain't gonna make it.

He made it!

I told you he'd make it! Yeah, JB!

Let's hear it for him,

ladies and gentlemen.

Three hundred feet! A world record,

as only Johnny Blaze can do!

Yeah! Yeah!

Where's he going?

I'll say one thing about the guy,

he's got guts.

I mean, the other day I was watching

this, like, sports show...

Stuart, can you please stop talking

about Johnny Blaze already?

Yeah, that might be a little hard.

I made it!

- Pull over!

- Do you want me to pull over?

- Drive.

- Driving.

Come on, Roxie,

I need to talk to you.

What's your name?

- What?

- What's your name?

Stuart!

- Johnny.

- Hi.

Well, Stuart,

can you help me out here?

Sorry, dude. She's the boss.

Johnny, look out!

All right, I guess I see

how it's gonna be. Hang on!

Howdy. Howdy, howdy, howdy.

Are you trying to kill yourself?

I wanna talk to you.

I haven't seen you in 56,000 years.

This is crazy. You are crazy.

I don't have time for this,

I have a story to edit.

You could have said no.

When they asked you to interview me,

you could have said no.

- Move your van out of the way!

- What are you trying to say?

Well, I'm not trying to say anything.

I'm saying that means something.

- Sorry!

- Don't mind them, they're fine.

We are on the side of the freeway.

Let's get some dinner.

You still like Italian?

What's this about, Johnny?

You want some closure?

Look, you were 17 and you witnessed

a tragedy and you ran.

I understand now

like I understood then...

...and I have no hard feelings, none.

That's why they call it the past, because

it's passed. It's done, it's over with.

Too much?

There's a restaurant in my hotel,

the Plaza. Eight o'clock.

Yes!

Don't be late.

This is a sign, Roxanne.

There are no accidents.

Destiny and all that.

Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!

- Can you please sign my sister's book?

- Oh, sure.

- 300 feet.

- We love you.

Well, thank you.

Three hundred feet.

Pretty neat, pretty neat.

Right on, Johnny.

Mephistopheles.

I knew you'd come.

Long time no see, boys.

Where you been hiding?

I know why you're here.

I know what you're after.

It's my contract.

They're my souls.

We both know

you can't harm me here.

It's my turn to lead.

You will suffer for this.

Now, deal with my Rider.

Your favorite creation?

Send your precious Rider.

I will retire him

just like I will retire you...

...Father.

Thank you.

You can't live in fear.

You can't live in fear.

You made that jump.

No one else made that jump.

You're the best rider.

You deserve a second chance.

She's a sign.

Johnny.

Okay.

Johnny.

You.

Hello, Johnny.

Stay away from me.

A little late for that.

Nice bike.

Why are you here?

Oh, I've always been here, Johnny.

All along.

Phoenix...

...Denver...

...Houston.

It was you. Keeping me alive.

No. No, Johnny.
