That is notyour car.

It belongs to Petrovich.

He'll have another one foryou

by tomorrow. Come on.

Goddamn. This is unbelievable.

Jonathan, don'tyou know they can

trackyou with these things? Come on.

- What's with thisplace?

- The state housing authority...

then theywent out ofbusiness.

- So what?

- They never sold offthe hallways.

- There is no one to take care ofthem.

- No sh*t.

Sergei?

Don't kill him!

Let me guess.

This isn'tyour friend Sergei, is it?

- Sergei's gone.

- Ofcourse he is.

I suppose we can't call the police

about it either, right?

Let's get out ofhere.

He may be the police.

You almost missed the flight.

Good morning.

It's a beautiful day, huh?

- Yeah.

- And it was a long night, huh?

It was, yeah. I partied,

the usual thing, with the team.

We found your car.

Areyou all right?

Yeah, yeah.

I just had a little accident.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Serokin, did you follow me

last night?

Just found your car, that's all.

Wouldn't wantyou to be without.

So there was a goon in the apartment,

and the guy booked out in a hurry.

There might have been a thousand reasons

why. He might've been lying to Aurora.

Let's say they are

screwing with the game.

- Then?

- Yeah? Then what?

Then nothing. Status quo.

We play, we win.

And ifit gets too sick,

we walk.

Come on, guys.

I've got meetings.

- Can't I just take a cab to the hotel?

- When the circus came to town...

did they let the elephants

take a cab to the hotel?

You're the elephant.

Get in the car, son.

One, two, tres, cuatro.

Itisanhonorandapleasure tobe

broadcasting toyou this evening...

with a crowd pushing 50,000...

in this beautiful desert city

on the shores ofthe blue--

blue--

-Jeez, this outfit's got a lot ofmoney.

-What is that?

I'd say it's a good time

in a can.

Beep, beep.

Come on! Come on! Come on in here

and getyour ass kicked!

Come on! I loveyou.

Tahli, what channel did you say

Got it?

You got that?

Goddamn mouse.

- Goal, yes, goal.

- The Red Horsemen are rolling over--

Stop!

Stop!

What? Areyou from Omaha or something?

It was only a matter oftime...

before one these creeps realized

that their take would go up...

as soon as they got a little blood

on the track.

What? Doyou think they sit around

struggling with the morality ofit?

- They're gonna kill somebody.

- That's what I'm talkin' about.

Come on. I make more in a season than I

would ten years doin' people's taxes.

They're not gonna let anything

happen to us. They need us.

Sojust closeyour eyes

and take the money, okay?

Sergei, the TV guy?

They found him at the border,

his throat cut, his mouth sewn shut.

What's up?

You don't look so good.

What's going on?

Well, you see, you hit the pod ramp

andjump, and I cross under and go.

And then you shot in the free throw,

and then you did the 440.

So I wasn't sure,

but I thinkyou scored the touchdown.

- Got it?

- Absolutely.

I scored a touchdown

and I win.

Gotya. Gotya.

We'll beat 'em!

- This MongolBlue Team is on fire...

- We'll beat them!

andinsane!

They're latheredup

likeaSiberian wolfpack...

limb from limb.

You're not wearing

your spine protector, right?

That's right.

With over a quarter left to play,

it's the Horsemen--

I see.

- You should make some arrangements.

- Alexi, I'm on--

I don't want problems!

I want solutions.

It's in the works.

We got ourselves

a motorcycle race here!

Whoa!Aurorajustgothammered!

Thatson ofabitch

Here's your bike, little lady.

Hope I didn't bend it.

- Do I wish you spoke English.

- I speak itjust fine, a**hole!

Bail out!

Easy, fellas.

Come on, get him out.

We're out ofhere.

Ridley, my man.

- How areyou?

- I feel like Freddy Krueger.

- How is he, Doctor?

- I'm good. I'm good.

- He should be resting.

- I feel fine. I can play.

- You sure about that?

- I feel fine.

- Areyou up to it?

- It was, after all,just an accident.

You don't know how glad I am

to hearyou say that.

All right, that's it.

Come on, let's go. Out.

You promised me

you'd stop this.

Dear God, your tone.

How have I denied you?

I have madeyou a rich man,

an international star.

I created a sport

thatyou could thrive in.

I have given you total freedom to do

as you please and even a satellite TV...

and asked for one thing: your trust.

So will both my studs

be at practice tomorrow?

- Yes, sir.

- Excellent.

Horsemen, number one.

Watch them. Ifthey take a sh*t,

I want to know what it smells like.

Let's go.

Wait.

Don't move.

Close the doors.

It's cold as hell.

Please, the door.

Hey, the door!

Come on. Come on, Denny.

- What about our passports?

- Katya trashed it.

- She couldn't get them.

- She's afraid.

- I think they have something on her.

- We have to wing it, then.

Get the cash from my place?

You apartment was being watched

all the time.

The players put this together.

Thanks, Den.

- Thank them.

- I don't know what to say.

Here, look.

The nearest border is Russia.

You have two crossings here

at the Russian border-- here and here.

One is by the river. Ifyou leave now,

from hereyou can make it by morning.

-I thoughtyou two were coming with us--

-He has family here. I have my mother.

And ifyou don't want them to disappear

or have an accident--

You can never really leave.

Aurora, wait a minute.

Areyou gonna be okay--

You stop.

Beforeyou say something

even more stupid.

Get the light

over there on the wall.

There's no way I'm gonna die

in this shithole ofa country. No way.

We left the rest ofthe team, Rid.

How many times areyou gonna

have to getyour head handed toyou...

beforeyou stop picking fights

with people who are too big?

This isn't some college coach

you canjust flick off.

These are dangerous people, man.

Look,Jon, she's safe.

She's safe.

Nobody knew aboutyou two.

Sh*t. We have company.

Looks like they brought

the whole Russian cavalry, Rid.

Great. We're being chased

by our own bodyguards.

Here they come, Rid.

They're on your bumper.

The fender.

Squeeze them!

- Come on!

- Oh, sh*t!

Come on,

you son ofa b*tch!

- That ain't gonna work twice.

- They're still coming on us.

- Remember Squeak Harris?

- Ofcourse I remember.

Remember how he died?

- Change with me.

- Now, listen, Rid--

Oh, sh*t!

- Let's rock and roll!

- One, two, three!
