As far as l can tell, there has been no action taken by Terminal Island Prison correction officers.
Lock down the bridge, keep the tower guards. l want everyone else down here now.

What a sh*t match.
l would never have bet if l knew Spiro was injured.
-But you did, huh? -Yeah. Take your winnings.
The whole world's falling apart, and Manchester United with it.
When l came over here, that clip was the first thing l ever bought with my own money, you know?
So, you take care of it. You look after it.
Look at you, profiting off football. He's never watched a match in his life.
That's 'cause it's f*cking boring, that's why.

Excuse us, please.
About the bank, it's important to me. l know it is.
That's why l want to handle it my way, with my guys.
Well, Vinnie brought me this score.
My stipulation is that you're in charge, which is the way l want it.
-Can l count on you? -What do you think?
Yeah. l know Vinnie and his boys are a bit green, but what my nephew lacks in experience, he makes up for with enthusiasm.
Exactly what l'm worried about.

Look, he fucks up, Mr. Kane, he answers to me, okay?
lt's going to be all right, Luke. Trust me.

You're both here because this incident has created a public relations nightmare for me.

Well, you had a 48 share.
Your network's previous high was a seven.

Welcome to Death Match.
Our first fighter, a m*rder*r serving four consecutive life sentences, Xander Grady!
ANNOUNCER: Xander, 1 1 kills, one submission.
6'4", 220 pounds.
His opponent, leader of the Terminal Island Triads, he currently ranks second on the k*ll board, he was Interpol's third most wanted until his arrest in Los Angeles last year, 14K!
ANNOUNCER: 14K one submission, 14 kills.
5'1 1 ", 1 59 pounds.
The combatants are picked by lottery randomly each week.
There are two ways to win. k*ll your opponent, or make him submit.
ANNOUNCER: There are several pressure plates that, when activated, can give a fighter access to a variety of weapons.
But they only have 10 seconds to access them.
If no fighter has won, both fighters are k*lled.

Yes, l'm sure. Now, you make my m*therf*cking money. You understand me?
LlSTS: lt's a strict Triad code.
Whoever spills the blood of a Triad, they're sworn to take that person's life.
Xander k*lled a Triad last match. lt defies logic why he wouldn't k*ll him if he had the chance.
Hey, kid, l'm not looking for a best friend, okay?

No, it's not. l'm here to warn you.
-Save your breath. -Oh, don't get smart with me. l don't know how many others know who you are, but when the word gets out, the K*llers are gonna be coming out of the woodwork. ls that right?
(BUZZES lNTERCOM)
And mark my words, Markus Kane will not show you the same type of loyalty that you've shown him.
GOLDBERG: Look, 14K kills Xander, he makes him a martyr. That's like an honour.
Xander quits, shames himself and the entire brotherhood.
That makes him like a p*ssy.
You got him, guys?
Yeah.
Oh, man. l got a question. All these cars, man, it's not exactly prison norm.
What's the deal?
Hey, Terminal lsland is not about rehabilitation. You know what l mean? lt's a business. All these cars, we melt them down, make weapons, g*ns, shells. lf it kills, we make it.
Hey, are you telling me the government's paying top dollar for this recycled sh*t?
Top dollar? Who said anything about top dollar?
Weyland lnternational sells this stuff dirt-cheap.
Yeah, when you're not paying for labour, your prices can afford to be a little lower, you know what l mean?

DA thinks there's a chance that he could turn state witness against Markus Kane.
Now, you put him on your TV show, not only could those animals k*ll him, but basically, he just advertises to Kane where the chief witness against him sleeps, and then he's a dead man.
Mr. Lucas' problem, not mine.

MARKUS: l'm troubled.
What seemed to be a very simple task has taken the most perplexing of turns.
So l'm gonna speak slowly, clearly, so my message is not lost, or ignored, or misinterpreted.
One million dollars to the man who kills Carl Lucas.
This offer expires in 48 hours, and if that happens, l will consider you all enemies, and l will bring w*r on your f*cking head.
Understand?
SEPTEMBER: Ninety percent of Terminal lsland, your grand investment, is dead space.
Death Match merely stayed your execution. lf you wanna get a breath of fresh air, you need a bold initiative. l propose a race.
Wicked. Epic.
Something like no one has ever seen before.
The track will run the length of Terminal lsland along some of the narrowest and most harrowing paths that the racing world has to offer.
The best part of it, everything that we need is right in our own backyard.
We're gonna modify each vehicle, adding reinforced steel plating, bulletproof glass, and roll cages to at least give the drivers a fighting chance.
We'll take everything that made Death Match a hit, combine it with everything we have at our disposal.
Such as?
Heavy f*cking a*tillery.
(EXCLAlMS)
SEPTEMBER: Every car will hold as many g*ns and as much amm*nit*on as it can.
(LAUGHlNG)
So, you're going to arm the prisoners.
Precautions will be made to make sure they can only sh**t at people on the track.
Nine cars, three days, 20,000 rounds of amm*nit*on.
Going from fighting to racing, that's a big leap.
We need a hook. Something that incorporates the two better.
Now, in a game show, no one cares about the game. The game's arbitrary.
People care about the risk and the money.
Now, we've been concentrating on the game, not the risk.
That's why our audience is bored.
Let's concentrate on the prize.
A prize more valuable than money.
Okay. What's more valuable than money?
Life is a more valuable prize than money. ln our deal with the state, we control sentencing.
That means we control their life.
So if a prisoner wins five races, he gets his freedom.
No matter what he's in for, robbery, r*pe, homicide, whatever, he wins his freedom.
He wins his life.
You have life,
freedom.
Stop.
Death Race.
LUKE: You know what? That's f*cking bullshit, Rocco.
Well, how do you know, man? Maybe it's for real.

Hey, come on, snap out of it, guys.
Hey, Lists, you gotta fix it up there under here.
Right here. Right in here.
OFFlCER 1 : Come on, Lucas, let's go.
OFFlCER 2: You heard him. Move. LUKE: Hey, what did l do?
OFFlCER 3: Go to sleep!
Hey, this is bullshit!
(LAUGHlNG)
Okay, what did l do?
You won!
To the victor belongs the spoils.
Okay, so what does that mean?
What is this? ln ancient Rome, the winning gladiator was the recipient of gifts.
A show of gratitude from the powers that be for a job well done.
She's yours.
Mmm-hmm.
Do with her what you please. (LAUGHS) ls that right?
And who the f*ck are you?
l'm Caesar.
You know, they're probably watching.
Mmm-hmm.
Listening, too, l guess.
Some kind of game they're playing.
Yeah, probably betting on what we'll do next.
Option A, they're trying to get us closer so they can use one of us against the other.
Uh-huh.
Option B being, maybe, put a wedge between us, so we f*ck up on the track? l guess we do what they want, and leave the bullshit for later.
You playing me?
Does it matter?
No.
(GlGGLES)
(GRUNTlNG)
(PANTlNG)
Kane put a million-dollar bounty on Lucas, and all the bangers are going for it.
Put Mr. Lucas in solitary. l thought this was a prison thing, but this is too big for even the guards to resist.
-You still gonna let him race? -Oh, yeah.
They're free to k*ll him on the track, just not off camera.
What about him?
Wait! Wait!
Come on. Let's go.
You had your fun. Move.
-KATRlNA: Where are we going? -Shut up.
KATRlNA: What the f*ck is this?
Beautiful view of freedom from here, Katrina.
KATRlNA: Okay.
But who are you?
You're much more attractive in person. l'm flattered. What do you want?
Carl Lucas. l want him dead.
And in return, l offer you freedom.
A chance of life outside these walls for one simple task.
You've got 48 hours. You k*ll him or l k*ll you.
Let me make these walls disappear.
Let me make you part of the view from outside, Katrina.
Freedom.
Forty-eight hours.
Tick-tock.
(SHOWER RUNNlNG)
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
-Yeah? -WEYLAND: Sixty-five share.
Well done, young lady.
SEPTEMBER: lt's truly for the best.
You weren't happy, the board wasn't happy.
We need someone for this institution that shares the common vision.
Just wasn't you.
Warden Parks, we're here to escort you from the premises.
"Whosoever diggeth a pit shall fall therein."
Proverb 26:27. ls that supposed to be deep?
Hopefully deep enough that, when you fall, you'll break your f*cking neck.
(KNOCKlNG)
-What do you want? -Time to race.
GOLDBERG: You got a big f*cking bulls-eye on your back, Luke.
You feel all those eyes on you?
Ain't 'cause you're pretty, or because you're in first place.
Markus Kane put a million dollars on your head. lt's a monster f*cking bounty, Lucas. lt's as plain as day. l don't believe it.
Why would l lie? lt makes no f*cking sense.
What're you gonna do?
(ENGlNE REVVlNG)
Two, one, and we're in.
ANNOUNCER: Welcome to Death Race.
Eighteen men started. Only six remain.
An estimated 50 million people watched CarI Lucas win day one.
Can he do it again?
Five other racers will have something to say about that.
Welcome to day two of Death Race.
Dim the lights. The carnage is about to begin.
GOLDBERG: Hey! Aren't you twojust bubbling over with sunshine this morning?
Come on. We got a race to win.
What is it?
Nothing.

Beautiful. (LAUGHS)
(14K GROANlNG)
All right, it's clear sailing to the finish line now.
What are you doing?
-The enemy of my enemy. -What's happening?
You die.
KATRlNA: You wanna tell me why you just risked our lives to save that banger?
They're Triads. The only people Markus would not deal with.
That's why they're not after us. They have no clue about the hit.
(LAUGHlNG)
Look, it's a Triad k*ll thing. lt's a life for a life. l save his, he owes me a favour.
(SCREAMlNG)
-Well, l saved your life. -Really? How so?
Because your Markus Kane offered to buy my freedom if l would k*ll you.
Jesus! They all want me dead, now you, too?
-l guess you owe me a favour, too. -l can't wait.
-Hey! l want a favour, too, huh? -f*ck off, Goldberg.
Yeah, l got you, baby.
ANNOUNCER: Sword pressure plates activated.

ANNOUNCER: Shield pressure plate activated.

What's wrong?
-This is not good, Luke. -lt's a setup.
Yeah. l'm coming, baby!
Hey, Goldberg. Someone had a play date with this car. l got nothing. No g*ns, no smoke, nothing.
Come on, hit it, you dumbass bitch!
GOLDBERG: Swerve! Swerve!
-You, m*therf*cker! -Turn!
What can l do?
-Brace yourself. -No! What are you doing?
GOLDBERG: Get the f*ck out ofthere!
(SCREAMS)
Come on! You need to get out of there!
This is my fight.
No choice. Hang on.

(LUKE SCREAMlNG)

Get me out of here!
Oh, God!
(LUKE SCREAMlNG)
No!
Oh, my God, no!
Somebody help!
LlSTS: Goldberg, get him out! Get him out!
No.
Rest in peace, Luke.
(SlGHS)
GOLDBERG: Rocco!
-You gotta answer for Luke. -What the f*ck you talking about?
Katrina said it was rigged from the inside.
And you're the only m*therf*cker that could have got to it.
You k*lled him?
Get away from me. f*ck you both.
-l need to talk to him. -No.
He saved your life!
(SPEAKlNG CANTONESE)
You owe him.
A life for a life. l know what to do.
DOCTOR: We've induced coma. Thankfully all his vitals have stabilised, but he should be moved to a facility more suited to his needs.
SEPTEMBER: Out ofthe question.
Doctor, someone from the outside tried to k*ll him.
Unless they think he's dead, they'll come back to finish the job.
Yeah, well, l can't pronounce a man dead while he's still alive.
Can't you?
(MONlTOR FLATLlNlNG)
WEYLAND: How are we doing with finding a replacement for Parks?
She comes highly recommended from Halliburton.
She ran their maximum security detention centre.
She's strong. She's smart. Ruthlessly ambitious. l think if l weren't around, she'd tell people that Death Race was her idea and she'd convince them that it was.
How's the switchover to the lnternet?
Transition's complete.
We start streaming live worldwide tomorrow.
The numbers have already surpassed pay-per-view, thanks to the Frankenstein commercial.
Hold on. Wait. l've been meaning to talk to you about this Frankenstein.
Did you make him up?
Frankenstein most certainly exists, and he will be in the race tomorrow.
He better be.
And he better come as good as advertised.
DOCTOR: The procedure's experimental and dangerous.
We're talking about placing electrodes into the brain.
SEPTEMBER: You told me he was a perfect candidate.
DOCTOR: Oh, he is.
But there are no guarantees.
SEPTEMBER: Let's wake him up.
DOCTOR: Mr. Lucas.
You've got second-degree burns over 85% of your body.
Now, you're lucky that you suffered no significant injuries.
Not a broken bone or damaged organ, which is remarkable considering the intensity of the fire.
LUKE: So, this is hell?
SEPTEMBER: Why?
LUKE: Where else would you be?
SEPTEMBER: You do rememberme.
You win five races and you're free.
LUKE: You're out of your f*cking mind.
SEPTEMBER: No more Markus Kane trying to track you down.
Like a second chance.
Look at me.
Really. Look at me.
What kind of second chance would I have?
SEPTEMBER: You're either Frankenstein or you're nobody.
You're certainly not Carl Lucas any more.
The entire worId watched him incinerate.
There's even a death certificate.
LUKE: l pityyou.
SEPTEMBER: Okay. If you don't do it for your life, then you do it for Katrina.
I'll furlough five of my worst sodomites for a play date with sweet Katrina.
By the time they're finished with her, she'll be lucky if she has a pulse.
How do you feel, Mr. Lucas?
The name is Frankenstein.
(CAR ENGlNE REVVlNG)
Sorry to disappoint you.
You're gonna have to settle for the Mexican Jew.

Okay, time for one more.

Tell me who sent you.

Good for you, Luke.
Payback for Lucas.
KATRlNA: Oh, my God!

(PEOPLE MURMURlNG)
Yes! The drinks are on me!

WEYLAND: Move my tee-off time from 9:00 to 1 0:00.
You see that?
That's a stupid bitch.
Take care of your business?
l'm only sorry Luke didn't live to see this. l'm not so sure he didn't.
Frankenstein, huh?
You got a real name?
Uh-huh.
Yeah, of course, l do.
