- We need to go tell Petrovich.

No. We'll deal with this

on the track, ourselves.

Toba was almost killed out there,

And Yuri Kotlev, owner ofthe Horde.

We are not a rich country, sir.

Yeah. No sh*t. So why does everybody

bet their ass on the rollerball?

We call it the Atlantic City syndrome.

Watch whatyou're saying.

My apology,Jonathan.

Our problem, notyour problem.

That's no worry, Borges.

You guys be good tonight.

-Jonathan.

- Don't waitup.

You thinkwe could do this

We've been through this.

It should be our secret.

How could I forget?

''It could be used against us!''

Against me. You're untouchable.

Come on, Aurora.

You don't need to hide all the time.

- I don't.

- Yes, you do. You live in the dark.

- Your face isn't as bad as you think.

- I know that.

Yeah. That's whyyou always

turn your left side to people.

I don't always turn.

Toba's helmet was cut.

I took it to Petrovich.

- And you think that does some good?

- He seemed pretty upset about it.

I think he'll take it

to the Horde owner.

You are so naive.

- They knew.

- They knew what?

One ofthe TV guys

put me onto this.

Let's see ifI can call it up.

Here. Look.

That's Toba getting hit.

- It's caught clearly on five cameras.

- So theywere following the action.

But let me back the feeds

up five seconds.

Now look.

One camera follows the action...

and four cameras follow a simpleminded

boy at the other end ofthe track.

Theywere called

and told to get on him...

fifteen seconds before it happened.

The Horde did not make that happen,

Jonathan, not on their own.

This TV guy.

You know where to find him?

- What's going on?

- Demonstration.

It is the headquarters

for the mines. Hang on.

What doyou want me to do?

- Get out ofthe car. Get out.
