Nitro Rush Page #2

Not a good idea...

Theo!

I don't want to see you!

We gotta talk!

Are you f***ing deaf?

C'mon, man. Let's go.

Think you can boss me around

like I'm still your kid?

Beat it, I said!

- Wait.

Beat it, f***!

Theo, wait!

Wait!

I told you.

Want my advice?

You'd get closer by

becoming his accomplice.

Accomplice? Like what?

What's your game plan,

with the cops on your tail?

I have no plan. I'm big on improv.

So I noticed.

I need him too.

What are you offering in exchange?

Exchange?

I'm not negotiating joint custody.

We're talking.

If you want to see him, you need me.

Make me a proposal.

I have nothing to lose.

I'd say you do.

Or you wouldn't be standing here.

Max was spotted.

The cops...

Get the kids.

Need a lift?

F***.

Dammit, man...

You OK?

I know. That was f***ing heavy.

He's a goddamn loony!

He bust out to see you.

F*** off, Charly. OK?

And I thought my dad was f***ed up.

I'm out of your league.

Try and chill, man.

You know the cops will lock up your dad.

I hope so.

Is this the Lawyer's place.

- No, it's mine.

Where's Theo?

He'll be here, don't worry.

Can I offer you a drink?

That's not why I'm here.

OK.

Let's talk business.

Nitro Rush.

The perfect drug. Everyone wants it.

I want the recipe.

The magic formula,

guarded by the Chemists.

The Chemists?

Hugo and Racine.

Two researchers, certified psychos.

They've been in prison, too...

For torturing a rival

who copied their antidepressant.

They have lousy social skills,

but they're geniuses.

They refused to sell us

their formula. So...

So you want to steal it?

We're making headway.

Thanks to Theo.

- F***! Calm down.

Beat it!

- A real wiz-kid.

But you knew that.

He helped us find the secret location

of their lab.

We've been spying on them for weeks.

No deal if Theo's in on the job.

That may be a problem.

Why's that?

'Cause the job's my idea.

Why'd you bring him?

Well now...

He's still free?

We should call the cops.

The boss won't like it.

- The boss is in prison.

Put your feet up.

Give him a chance.

He broke out of jail.

Maybe he can help us break into the lab.

Think it over.

It won't affect us.

Theo agrees.

Ball's in your court.

- Theo's out,

or there's no deal.

Theo's not negotiable.

And you're on borrowed time.

If I call the cops,

you'll never see your son again.

That what you want?

How about that drink?

Relax, I'll just be a sec.

Expect me to explain everything?

Start with location.

We've studied their routine for 5 weeks.

The Chemists live in this isolated cabin.

Their lab's two clicks away,

in another old cabin,

pretty secluded.

And the formula's hidden there?

They keep it on a USB key.

So we can't hack into it.

How do you know?

When they use their computer,

I access its webcam.

We've watched for weeks.

We located the key.

Is that live?

Yup. They work all night and leave at noon.

They're f***ing regular.

Is that them?

Two goddamn nerds!

Quiet, Hulk.

Put a gun to their heads

and they'll hand over the formula pronto.

We said no violence, no guns, no torture.

They're as proud of Nitro

as if it were a cure for cancer.

They'll never give it up.

If you say so.

We get Theo in and he

accesses their server.

But that won't be easy.

Why not?

We can't drive there. They'll see us.

We have to go through the forest.

That's where it gets tough.

To protect the cabin,

the Chemists put up fences.

And a ground-up detection system.

One step inside and the alarm goes off.

Yup.

The perimeter's 25 meters wide.

I doubt you can jump it.

A forest...

We'll pretend we're apes.

Won't be hard for you, Hulk.

We'll need equipment.

And a place to train.

Out of sight.

This isn't a plan!

It's a goddamn family outing, sh*t.

You wanted to talk?

Pick a destination.

What do you mean?

To confuse the cops.

I can send you anywhere.

Even Disneyland?

It's done, bro.

This truck's low on torque.

If there's action, we'll be screwed.

I know a guy who can fix it.

He worked for my dad.

Discrete?

Very!-

Max, my man!

On the news they said you went south.

Yeah, I know.

These two sent the cops

on a goose chase.

Your son?

- No, Charly, his best friend.

My boy, Theo.

You must be so proud of your dad.

A jailbreaker, a superhero!

Thanks, Hubert.

As a kid your dad owned this track!

Enough.

Hello, miss.

- Hello.

Can you take her on?

- You bet!

Hubert, over here.

The truck.

There's one thing I can do.

Your best?

Dammit.

F***in' hell. Talk about a toy!

Now this is a gun!

Jeez!

Wanna go for a ride?

Hubert??

Can we take it for a spin?

Thanks.

Stop.

- They're gonna split.

No, Theo'd never leave me.

I trust him more than you.

No.

If they bond it's good for the team.

As a teen, speed was my drug.

I know, I remember.

It's cool we can finally talk.

Talk about what? I know your story.

I'm supposed to think you're a hero?

OK, I get it. Stop your show.

I tried everything to save her.

I would've died for your mom.

But she died instead.

That heart you got her broke.

Mom died of sorrow

when you went to jail.

You knew it was hopeless.

And that I'd be left without a dad.

We'll leave at 5

and do another run-through.

Enough bullshit training.

Go easy on that.

Are you nervous?

- No!

It's only normal.

I'm excited, I get a kick out of it.

Great reason.

Think the drug is immoral?

You said it, not me.

So what about you?

What's your reason?

I'm doing it to protect you.

And I know I can't change your mind.

I don't need protection.

She's manipulating you.

She'd do anything to...

- OK, no.

Don't talk about her.

You don't know her like I do.

Don't talk about her.

You don't know her like I do.

Don't leave them. Stay on them 24/24

Yes, Boss

Can't sleep either?

The adrenaline's kicking in.

And you?

Are you nervous?

I have no plan B. it's this or nothing.

What about your company?

My agency?

It's a money-laundering op

for the Lawyer.

He's in jail, the tap's shut.

Why not get a job like everybody else?

I work for myself. Suits me better.

You have no scruples?

Nope.

No scruples, no friends, no family.

Nothing tying me down.

And nothing to lose.

Contrary to you.

Might be good for you.

I lack the patience.

When I try to go straight, I get f***ed.

By my probation officer once.

Been in prison?

Does that shock you?

What were you sent up for?

The same as you, Max.

A mistake.

A dumb mistake.

But I didn't have to break out.

And you wound up with a scumbag

like the Lawyer.

The Lawyer's over.

They can't keep him inside long.

I'll just pull this job and disappear.

Good timing.

Timing's the story of my life.

Take you, for example.

I didn't plan it, but since you're here...

And you, Max?

What's your plan?

Either I go back inside or I'm killed.

With a million in cash,

and a car that does 300 an hour

on a road that never ends...

And a gorgeous babe like you next to me,

is that it?

For you it's either black or white.

I'm a manipulator.

And a slut.
