...and the Pasadena is jammed as usual.

Golden State's moving, but just barely.

And the Long Beach is a sea of cars.

Should continue to be like this

for another hour.

Be advised, take surface streets

wherever possible...

...and try to stay calm and composed.

There must be another way.

God, oh, God.

Christ.

The engine is too hot.

I guess we're just a little bit

too smart for them, old buddy.

That's right, my friend.

Smooth sailing to Long Beach.

Yep, I think I'll have me a cigar.

My wife's pregnant.

- Come on, give me a hand, will you?

- Bug off, jerk.

Oh, no.

Avila, no way.

I don't wanna hear it, Avila.

To serve and to protect, huh?

Officer. Right here.

Hold it. Hold it, officer.

Oh, God, thank you, officer.

Help! My wife is pregnant.

She's gonna have the baby.

Her water just broke.

I tried to get these...

They won't help me.

They haven't helped.

Come on. Help me.

You a**holes!

Jesus, I'm grateful.

- They don't even care.

- Okay, now.

Just be cool, be calm.

We'll take care of everything.

- Don't... Please don't bite my hand.

- Yeah, you!

Wait! Wait! Wait a minute.

We can use the river.

There's an access road to the right.

It runs all the way to Long Beach.

- No, no. West, west.

- West?

West.

Look at that.

Look at that. That's Bannon.

What the hell? Get off of here.

Get off.

Where's the next one?

On your left.

Okay.

Look out, you damn fool.

- Right out of there.

- You're not allowed down there.

Up yours.

You can't go down there. Stop.

Don't slow down, hit it.

I never raced in a river before.

Okay, the lights are set

for 32 miles per hour.

- Right.

- Just keep going on Sepulveda.

Okay, hang on.

Smile.

What are we going now?

Thirty-two miles an hour.

Looks like we've

got some water coming up.

- I don't see anything.

- How deep is it here?

Here goes.

Hold it. Keep the rims high.

Don't slow it up.

I can't see anything.

Come on. Come on.

Take him. Take him.

Watch out for the slick places.

Let's go. Let's go.

Okay, okay, okay. Let's go.

There's a real big drain coming up.

Really hustle.

All right, now, now.

Now.

You got him. You got him.

Where do we turn?

What are they doing?

Into it, into it.

Turn coming up. Turn coming up.

Where's Franco now?

Damn it!

What do you say, Franco?

Block him on this turn.

Stay on him, Sam.

- Ride him. Ride him.

- Watch out.

Hang on. Hang on, now.

- Change your gear.

- Move, now. Move, move, move.

I tell you what

the trouble is with you, Ace.

You don't have a sense of humor.

This is rigged for fun.

- Don't talk to me.

- Well, come on, buddy, cheer up.

We're just about there.

Just about smell

the Queen Mary's butt.

Where the hell

do you think you're going?

Now this is style.

We'll come whipping in on two wheels.

Hey, I've seen you do it 100 times.

I practiced.

Think I can get in the show?

I think you're making a mistake.

No, I got this on the road.

Damn. Almost had it.

What do you think I did wrong?

I think I'm gonna be sick.

It's a wreck or something.

It always happens when I'm in a hurry.

Oh, my God.

You wrecked my car, you jerk.

You dumb jerk, look at my car.

What do you think you're doing?

You got a driver's license?

You people see what he did to my car?

I don't care. I have no money.

If you wanna put me in jail,

it's okay with me, I can use the sleep.

I was just about to get

the car repainted anyway.

Oh, this is my girlfriend, Angie,

from New York.

Are you sure everything's okay,

Mr. Blakely?

You wouldn't happen to be

an actress, would you, Miss?

Blanche. Why, yes. How'd you guess?

Well, you have what we call...

...presence.

Well, if it bothers you,

I can put on my jacket.

Why don't we go inside.

I have to do a lot of entertaining.

I'm in the movie business,

and it's part of the game.

Go, baby!

What's the matter...?

What's the matter with you?

Am I clear?

Yes, you're clear.

Cut them off, cut them off.

Good going.

Just make it to that parking lot.

It's only two miles.

No problem. Relax, relax.

Clear on your right.

There it is.

Let's hope

Emergency Plan Alpha works.

Emergency Plan Alpha?

Go.

Get them, damn it, quick.

Oh, that's a cheap move.

Terrific.

Take them.

On the right. On the right.

I got it, I got it, I got it.

Get him now.

Okay.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I've been waiting for you.

What took you so long?

- Hey.

- It worked. It worked.

It's a trap. Get out of here.

Oh, no. Jesus.

- I'll come back.

- Wait, Franco.

Franco.

Franco, wait. Franco.

Thirty-three hours and 57 minutes.

A new record. How's that, Mike?

- Great going, Sam.

- I thought you were in traffic.

Smith was going down.

Hey, two more.

Alice and Jane and the cops.

I wanna thank my mother, my friends.

I wanna thank my loved ones, you...

Hey, listen, listen. I wanna thank

you guys for me and Mr. Guts.

If you hadn't picked us up, we'd have

still been on the freeways of America.

What do you say we celebrate, huh?

Get over here.

Hey. Shut up. Shut up.

What can I say?

lt just... Just makes me sick.

- Angie.

- Where did he come from?

Angie, baby.

Oh, baby.

Hey, Roscoe.

Roscoe.

Come on, have a drink.

Don't add insult to injury, Bannon.

Maybe next year.

There isn't gonna be any next year.

I'm retiring. You're not gonna have Roscoe

to kick around anymore.

Wouldn't be the same without you.

Someday, Bannon, you and Smith.

Well, you know, I was thinking

about retiring too.

No, really.

It's a raid.

Get those trucks over here.

Hustle, hustle, hustle. Out of the way.

Come on, come on.

Okay, come on, move them out.

That's the ticket. Do that.

What's going on here?

Well, as of 11:
00, you are illegally parked.

That's according to California

Vehicle Code number 22658. 22658.

- I want your name.

- Get on, man.

At any rate, the fines will be levied,

and they will be hauled away.

Perfect.

Move them out. That's right.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

Move them out. That's the idea.

Get that one going.

Come on, come on, move it along.

Move it along here. Come on.

Get out of here.

That's right, that's right. All right.

Hey, hey.

- We're a bit late.

- I hope we didn't miss the fun.

Maybe next year.

How are you gonna get back to New York?

I hadn't given it much thought.

This is ridiculous.

Where do you get cars around here?

Come on, it's America, babe.

Gumball.

Gumball.

- Gumball.

- Gumball.

- Gumball.

- Gumball.

He's here.

- What the hell is he doing?

- Looks like his throttle is stuck.

Oh, sh*t!
