Renegade (1992–1997): Season 4, Episode 8 - Offshore Thunder - full transcript
A well publicized death at a regatta gets Reno's attention when he sees his dead fiancée's sister on television. The death is ruled accidental but Reno investigates first hand, both to protect his friend, and because he suspects foul play. He finds that the death was no accident, and that the boat races are really a front to smuggle illegal weapons out of the country to supply a revolution.
( engines roaring )
SHUT THE MOTORS DOWN.
COME ON, KILL IT.
KILL IT!
( motor stopping )
WHAT ARE YOU MEAT-HEADS
THINKING?
TORQUE THESE HEADS DOWN
AND TUCK YOUR SHIRTS IN.
HI, DONNY.
YOU READY TO ROCK 'N' ROLL?
IS FITIPALDI FAST?
YOU CHECK THE HEAD GASKETS?
JUST LIKE YOU SAID. GREAT CALL.
OH. WHERE'S TIM?
YOU KNOW
IT HURTS ME TO SAY,
BUT I HAVE NO IDEA.
THIS TIME TRIAL
IS IN FIVE MINUTES.
I TOLD YOU WE NEED A NEW DRIVER.
NOT YET,
YOU DON'T.
WHERE THE HELL
HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'M HERE NOW, OKAY?
NO, IT'S NOT OKAY.
YOU'VE BEEN A ZOMBIE
FOR TWO DAYS.
WANT TO TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON?
NOTHING, I'M FINE.
LOOK, DON'T
BLOW ME OFF.
THE WHOLE TEAM'S
DEPENDING ON YOU.
WE'VE ALL WORKED
HARD ON THIS.
WHAT, I HAVEN'T?
I'M NOT SAYING THAT.
BUT FROM MR. PRIETO
ON DOWN...
WHAT?
WH... WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
TIM, TALK TO ME.
IT'S ME.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
I'D LIKE TO.
TIM.
GET IN THE BOAT. LET'S BOOGIE.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
WE'LL TALK AFTER
THIS KILO RUN, OKAY?
OKAY.
AREN'T YOU GOING
TO WISH ME LUCK?
YEAH. GOOD LUCK.
( engine starting )
DEBBIE, SHE'S GOING WEIRD.
SHE PROBABLY GOT THAT FROM YOU.
LET'S GO.
SHE'S RUNNING REAL LOOSE.
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN,
BRING HER BACK IN.
WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
TIM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
DEBBIE, I CAN'T...
I CAN'T HANG ON TO HER.
TIM!
HE WAS A COP
AND GOOD AT HIS JOB
BUT HE COMMITTED
THE ULTIMATE SIN
AND TESTIFIED AGAINST
OTHER COPS GONE BAD--
COPS THAT TRIED TO KILL HIM
BUT GOT THE WOMAN
HE LOVED INSTEAD.
FRAMED FOR MURDER,
NOW HE PROWLS THE BADLANDS
AN OUTLAW HUNTING OUTLAWS
A BOUNTY HUNTER
A RENEGADE.
HEY, BUDDY, OLD PAL,
BUDDY, OLD PAL
I WANT TO SHOW
YOU SOMETHING.
WHAT ARE THEY
GOING TO DO
WITH THE 500 CHANNELS
OF THE FUTURE?
I MEAN,
THEY CAN'T EVEN FILL
THE STATIONS
THEY ALREADY HAVE.
NOW, AS YOU KNOW
I AM CONSTANTLY STRIVING TO KEEP
THE SIXKILLER ENTERPRISES NAME
IN THE PUBLIC EYE
BY FUSING IN PUBLIC
CONSCIOUSNESS THE WORD SIXKILLER
WITH THE CONCEPT
OF BOUNTY HUNTING
IN AMERICA TODAY.
YOU HAVE ANY DORITOS?
CYNICISM IS SO EASY FOR YOU,
RENO.
YOU'VE TRIED BUS BENCHES,
VIDEOTAPES...
INFOMERCIALS.
THOSE LITTLE PROPELLER BEANIES.
SO NOT EVERY IDEA IS GENIUS.
OKAY, WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE
THIS TIME?
I WANT YOU TO GIVE ME
YOUR TRUE OPINION.
LET IT FLOW WITH YOURSELF.
LET IT GO THROUGH YOUR HAIR.
ARE YOU READY?
BIPLANE BANNERS.
EXCUSE ME?
BIPLANE BANNERS.
PLANES CRUISING THE BEACH
PULLING BANNERS?
INTERACTING WITH THOUSANDS
OF RICH, YOUNG
DEMOGRAPHIC AMERICANS?
AND WHAT'S YOUR BANNER
GOING TO SAY?
I ALSO WRITE MUSIC.
I KNOW THAT.
LIKE BURMA SHAVE.
BEFORE MY TIME.
ARE YOU READY?
HERE IT GOES.
♪ GOT A FELON ON THE RUN ♪
♪ SOME BAIL-SKIPPING WEASEL
WITH A BLAZING GUN ♪
♪ I FRET NOT, I SWEAT NOT ♪
♪ HE'S IN THE CAN, 'CAUSE
AT SIXKILLER ENTERPRISES ♪
♪ WE GET OUR MAN. ♪
IT'S LIKE A RAP.
YOU DON'T NEED A PLANE.
YOU NEED AN AIR FORCE.
WHAT FOR?
TO TOW
ALL THAT SIGNAGE.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
Just days away from
the Offshore Thunder
Challenge Cup Finals
the favorite, Fiesta Boat
flipped in a time trial
killing champion race driver
Tim Connor.
WOW, THAT'S NASTY, HUH?
YEAH.
I'm with
Juan Carlos Prieto
owner of
the Fiesta Special.
It's tough
losing your driver
so close to the finals.
Well, Tim was the best driver
on the circuit.
but what's most difficult
is losing
such a close,
personal friend.
Where does the Fiesta
go from here?
Well, we do have
a second boat
and we're dedicating
the race to Tim.
Now, excuse me.
YOU KNOW WHAT I COULD DO?
I COULD SHORTEN IT
TO A SIXKILLER HAIKU.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
...Prieto's crew readies
the backup boat
in time to compete.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT? WHAT?
WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT?
UH, MR. PRIETO.
DEBBIE.
I'M SO SORRY ABOUT TIM.
IT'S JUST SO
SAD, YOU KNOW?
DON'T BLAME YOURSELF.
YOU'RE THE BEST CREW CHIEF
ON THE CIRCUIT.
IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.
THANKS.
I REALLY LIKED
WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT
"THE BEST THING
WE CAN DO
FOR TIM IS WIN THE RACE."
A NICE SENTIMENT, PERHAPS
BUT NOT VERY REALISTIC.
I WAS JUST HAVING THE SECOND
BOAT PUT IN THE WATER.
I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE
A GOOD CHANCE
BUT I'LL KNOW MORE IN AN HOUR.
WELL, TELL ME
AS SOON AS YOU KNOW.
OKAY.
UM, MR. PRIETO?
I DON'T THINK THIS
WAS AN ACCIDENT.
I MEAN, THE BOAT WOULD HAVE
NEVER STUFFED LIKE THAT.
MAYBE WIND SHEAR, MAYBE...
NOT WITH TWO KNOTS
OUT OF THE SOUTH.
I THINK SOMEONE
MIGHT HAVE FOOLED WITH THE BOAT.
THE IMAGE TEAM?
NO, THEY'RE
GOOD COMPETITORS.
BUT YOU KNOW, SOMETHING
WAS BOTHERING TIM TODAY...
BEFORE HE GOT IN THAT RUN...
SOMETHING PERSONAL.
DEBBIE...
I'VE NEVER TOLD
ANYONE ELSE, BUT...
TIM HAD A GAMBLING PROBLEM.
TIM? YOU'RE KIDDING.
HE CAME TO ME
AND ASKED FOR AN ADVANCE.
I TOLD HIM NO.
SO HE ASKED FOR A LOAN--
$50,000 CASH.
WHO DID HE OWE
THE MONEY TO?
HE WOULDN'T SAY.
WELL, HAVE YOU PICKED
A NEW DRIVER?
NOT YET.
NOW I'VE GOT TO
GET TO THE AIRPORT
TO MEET HIS PARENTS.
YEAH, OF COURSE.
GOOD-BYE, DEBBIE.
BYE.
Reno:
SORRY ABOUT
YOUR FRIEND, DEB.
EXCUSE ME?
RENO?
HI.
MY GOD.
IT'S REALLY YOU.
THEY HAD THE CRASH ON TV
AND I SAW YOUR FACE.
JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING HERE?!
I WANTED TO SEE YOU.
I THOUGHT YOU'D BE IN URUGUAY
OR THAILAND OR MARS BY NOW
AND THAT STILL
WOULDN'T BE FAR ENOUGH.
I'M SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU.
WELL, NOW YOU'VE SEEN ME, OKAY?
YOU BLAME ME FOR VAL.
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT, I DO.
DON'T YOU BLAME YOURSELF?
THIS IS TOO CRAZY.
WAIT. DON'T GO.
WHERE DID YOU LEARN
HOW TO DO THAT?
FROM YOU, REMEMBER?
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, RENO?
THROW MY ARMS AROUND YOU
AND CALL YOU RENO-MAN,
LIKE I USED TO?
I WAS JUST HOPING...
STOP HOPING!
IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU
MY SISTER WOULD
BE ALIVE TODAY.
I WASN'T THE ONE
THAT GOT HER KILLED.
IT WAS A DIRTY COP
THAT MADE HER DIE, NOT ME.
HEY, DEB.
IS THIS CREEP
BOTHERING YOU?
GET LOST.
WE'RE OLD FRIENDS.
YEAH?
YEAH.
COPS ARE RIGHT DOWN
THE DOCK.
I'LL GET ONE
FOR YOU.
NO THANKS, TONY.
I WAS JUST LEAVING.
IF YOU CHANGE
YOUR MIND
AND WANT TO TALK
CALL ME THERE.
SO WHAT,
YOU'RE "VINCE BLACK" NOW?
I'LL ALWAYS WANT TO TALK TO YOU,
DEB.
Debbie:
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SIS.
FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS,
I'VE DONE NOTHING BUT HATE HIM.
THEN I SAW HIM TODAY, AND...
AND IT ALL CAME BACK.
LIKE THAT TIME THAT WE DROVE
ALL NIGHT FROM MEXICO?
EVEN WHEN HE HELPED ME
BUY MY NEW CAR.
MY FIRST CAR.
THAT WARPED LITTLE SALES GUY,
YOU REMEMBER?
HOW SWEET HE WAS
AND HOW MUCH HE LOVED YOU.
I COULDN'T HATE HIM ANYMORE.
I MEAN, IT WAS BAD ENOUGH
LOSING YOU.
I LOST HIM TOO.
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW
HOW MUCH I MISSED HIM.
YES, ANTIQUE AIRWAYS?
YES, I WOULD LIKE
SOME INFORMATION
BECAUSE I'M VERY INTERESTED
IN RENTING ONE OF YOUR BIPLANES
FOR ADVERTISING.
YES. HOW MUCH?
HOW MUCH?!
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
ONE OF THOSE RICKETY OLD PLANES
THAT'LL SKY THROUGH
THE AIR LIKE THAT?
I'LL CALL YOU BACK.
SO, WOULD YOU LIKE
TO EXPLAIN TO ME
WHY YOU RAN OFF
LIKE THAT?
YEAH, REMEMBER
THE BOAT CRASH FOOTAGE
WE WERE WATCHING ON TV?
MM-HMM.
WELL, THE DARK-HAIRED GIRL THERE
THAT WAS RUNNING THE PIT CREW?
THAT'S VAL'S
LITTLE SISTER, DEBBIE.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
WOW.
WELL, DID YOU TALK TO HER?
WELL, I TALKED TO HER,
ALL RIGHT.
BUT SHE DIDN'T DO
MUCH LISTENING.
SHE BLAMES YOU?
I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE
TO EXPLAIN IT ALL TO HER
AFTER VAL WAS SHOT, AND...
THAT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM,
THAT'S HERS.
IT SURE FEELS
LIKE MINE.
I MEAN, SHE'S RIGHT
ABOUT ONE THING:
IF I'D NEVER MET VAL,
SHE'D BE ALIVE TODAY.
WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG, HUH?
WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE
DIFFERENT?
IGNORE DUTCH DIXON?
LET HIM GET AWAY WITH MURDER?
NO.
MAYBE IT WAS
A MISTAKE
FOR YOU TO FALL IN LOVE WITH VAL
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
THAT WAS NO MISTAKE.
LOOK, RENO...
THERE ARE PRECIOUS
FEW PEOPLE LIKE YOU
IN THE WORLD
AND WHEN YOU STOP
DOING THE RIGHT THING
BROTHER, WE ARE IN
A LOT OF TROUBLE.
THANKS.
RENO.
STILL WANT TO TALK?
Debbie:
I'M SORRY I MELTED DOWN
WHEN I SAW YOU.
IT'S BEEN A HELL
OF A COUPLE DAYS.
ACCEPTED AND FORGOTTEN.
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING
THAT YOUR FRIEND
WAS SAYING
IN THERE IS TRUE.
YOU DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING WRONG.
IF I COULD GET VAL BACK
I'D GLADLY GIVE
MY OWN LIFE.
I KNOW THAT.
RENO, I NEED YOUR HELP
WITH SOMETHING.
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S THE CRASH.
THERE'S WEIRD THINGS GOING ON.
I NEED A COP'S EYES.
WOULD YOU COME BACK
TO THE PITS?
YEAH, LET'S GO.
OH, AND LET'S
TAKE THAT GUY.
HE COMES IN HANDY
ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR.
Bobby:
OH, MAN, CHECK THIS OUT.
THIS IS SO EXCITING.
IT'S COLORFUL, YOU KNOW,
THINGS HAPPENING?
KIND OF LIKE ME.
THEY EVEN GOT
NEWS COVERAGE! WOW.
HEY, IS THAT YOUR
BOAT DOWN THERE?
Debbie:
NO, THEY'RE SPONSORED
BY IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST
TO HAVE A LOGO ON THE SIDE?
IT DEPENDS ON
HOW BIG IT IS
AND WHERE IT GOES.
EXCUSE ME?
DO YOU THINK
YOU'D BE WILLING
TO HANG A REAL LONG
SIGN ON THAT BOAT?
WHAT DOES
SHE DO?
THAT'S A
HOSPITALITY GIRL.
EVERY SPONSOR
GETS ONE.
EVERY SPONSOR
GETS ONE?
I THINK I NEED A LITTLE
MARKETING CONSULTATION.
I'LL BE
RIGHT BACK.
I WAS AFRAID OF THAT.
YOU THINK
THE IMAGE BOYS
WOULD HAVE BEEN
WILLING TO KILL
TO WIN
THE OFFSHORE CUP?
NO, I CAN'T SEE IT.
BUT MR. PRIETO DID
TELL ME ONE WEIRD THING.
YEAH, WHAT'S THAT?
WELL, HE SAID THAT TIM
HAD A GAMBLING PROBLEM
AND THAT HE'D RUN UP
SOME MAJOR DEBT
AND WAS HITTING HIM UP
FOR BAIL-OUT MONEY.
THAT'S SAD,
BUT NOT UNHEARD OF.
TIM AND I WERE AS CLOSE
AS SIAMESE TWINS.
IF HE WAS GAMBLING,
I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT.
WELL, WHAT ELSE
COULD HE HAVE USED
ALL HIS MONEY FOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
SO, PRIETO FUNDS
ALL THIS?
YEAH. EVER HEARD
OF FIESTA FOODS?
CHIPS AND DIPS?
SALSA AND TORTILLAS?
"MAKE EVERY MEAL
A FIESTA."
YEAH, THAT'S HIM.
ILLEGAL MEXICAN IMMIGRANT
TURNED SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRE.
HE'S THE NICEST MAN
IN THE WORLD.
HE'S STOOD BEHIND
THIS TEAM 100%.
SO HE'S NOT A SUSPECT.
NO. NO WAY.
WHAT DO WE DO?
I'D LIKE TO GET A LOOK
AT THAT WRECKED BOAT
BUT IN ORDER TO
REALLY GET ME INSIDE
YOU GOT TO WORK ME INTO
THE OPERATION, SOMEHOW.
YOU STILL GOOD
WITH A TORQUE WRENCH?
HEY, GUYS, WHY DON'T YOU
TRY TO DO IT
WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED?
YOU COULDN'T DO
ANY WORSE.
HEY, DONNY
HOW'S IT GOING?
OKAY.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
ALL THIS TIME?
RECRUITING
SOME NEW HELP.
THIS IS...
VINCE BLACK.
WE MET. REMEMBER?
VINCE AND I
GO WAY BACK.
HE'S AN ACE TUNER.
HE'S HELPING FOR A WHILE.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED HELP.
I DO.
HOPE YOU'RE GOOD.
IT'S CALLED A SCREWDRIVER.
THANKS.
NICE GUY.
( knocking )
Reno:
DEBBIE, IT'S ME.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
SOMEBODY TOOK OFFENSE
AT MY SNOOPING.
YOU GOT INSIDE
THE SHED?
YEAH, I GOT IN THERE,
ALL RIGHT.
THE TRIM TAB'S
BEEN TAMPERED WITH.
THE LINE WAS CUT.
WE HAVE TO SHOW MR. PRIETO.
THE BOAT'S GONE.
WHOEVER CLOBBERED ME
OVER THE HEAD
CLEARED OUT THE SHED.
IT'S GOT TO BE SOMEONE
WITH FULL ACCESS CLEARANCE
TO THE BOATS.
WHAT?
OH...
SORRY, UM...
JUST THAT VAL
USED TO GET
THE SAME LOOK.
WELL, LOOK, UH...
WHY DON'T YOU COME
TO THE SPONSOR RECEPTION
WITH ME THIS AFTERNOON.
THINGS GET KIND OF WILD
AND WOOLLY DOWN THERE
SO, MAYBE WE CAN FIND
SOMETHING OUT.
DO I HAVE TO WEAR A TIE?
NO.
GOOD.
( loud pop music playing )
LAST TIME I SAW YOU
IN ANYTHING
MORE THAN A T-SHIRT
WAS WHEN MOM CONNED
YOU AND VAL
INTO CHAPERONING
MY SENIOR PROM.
THAT WAS EVIL.
AND YOU, THREATENING TO RUIN
EVERYONE'S GOOD TIME
BY SHOWING UP
IN YOUR COP UNIFORM.
BUT WE HAD FUN.
REMEMBER? WE WATCHED
THE SUN RISE OVER THE BAY.
YEAH. YEAH, THAT WAS FUN.
I'M GOING TO GET US
SOME CHAMPAGNE.
OKAY.
DON.
HEY, MAN.
LOOKS LIKE
YOU'RE HAVING FUN.
ALWAYS. WE WERE BRAINSTORMING
ON HOW TO PICK UP
A LITTLE EXTRA SPEED
ON THIS STICKY WATER.
WHAT WAS EVERYBODY
ELSE THINKING?
THEY SAID
TO OPEN THE AIR TRAPS FULL.
I THOUGHT ABOUT DOING WORK
TO THE CAVITATION PLATE.
THERE YOU GO.
THERE'S JUST
ONE PROBLEM.
THESE BOATS DON'T HAVE
CAVITATION PLATES.
HEY, DONNY.
IT'S A PARTY.
GO PARTY.
YOU GOT YOURSELF
A REAL CRACKERJACK
MECHANIC HERE.
( Don chuckling )
AHOY, MATEYS.
OH, LOOK, IT'S
CAPTAIN CRUNCH.
EAT YOUR HEART OUT. HELLO.
HI.
SO, WHERE'S PRIETO?
BEHIND YOU,
TOP OF THE STAIRS.
Bobby:
HOW DID HE BECOME BIG TORTILLA?
HE WAS A MIGRANT WORKER
WHO CONVINCED A GROWER
TO LEND HIM 200 BUCKS
TO MAKE FRESH SALSA.
THE BUSINESS TOOK OFF.
MY KIND OF GUY.
I THINK I'LL GO TALK TO HIM.
THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA.
I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA.
HE AND I ARE ALIKE.
LIKE BROTHERS.
WE'RE MEMBERS OF A VERY ELITE
FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION.
MEMBERS, NOW?
YES. THE AMERICAN
DREAM COME TRUE CLUB.
MR. PRIETO,
I PRESUME.
ROBERT SIXKILLER, SIR
AND I JUST WANT
YOU TO KNOW
THAT I ADMIRE YOUR STYLE.
OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YES, I'M ALSO
A SELF-MADE MAN MYSELF
AND VERY INTERESTED
IN OFFSHORE RACING.
THAT'S A FANTASTIC SPORT.
I'M EVEN THINKING ABOUT
SPONSORING A BOAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT?
YOU'LL NEVER REGRET IT.
IT'S LIKE HAVING
A BEAUTIFUL MISTRESS.
SHE BREAKS YOUR HEART,
SHE BURNS YOUR WALLET
BUT SHE GIVES YOU MOMENTS
YOU'LL NEVER REGRET.
YES. EXACTLY HOW MUCH DOES
SHE BURN YOUR WALLET FOR?
WELL, THE BOATS COST
8,500 TO RUN.
SOUNDS REASONABLE.
AN HOUR.
AN HOUR.
YOU HAVE TO REBUILD
THE MOTORS
AFTER EVERY TWO HOURS.
THEY ONLY RUN
FOR TWO HOURS?
UH-HUH, AND THEN YOU NEED
A SEMI TO TRANSPORT THEM.
I DON'T SUPPOSE
A WINNEBAGO WOULD WORK.
UH, NO, NO, I'M AFRAID NOT.
AND WE RACE
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
NOT TO MENTION EUROPE.
PLANE FARE FOR A BOAT.
YES.
WELL, LIKE I SAID,
IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU,
MY FRIEND.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HOW MUCH ARE ONE OF THOSE
LITTLE, BITTY PATCHES
ON THE SIDE OF THE BOAT?
CUTE DRESS.
THANKS.
YOU'RE WAY WRONG
TO IGNORE ME, DEB.
OH, AND HERE
I THOUGHT I WAS LAVISHING
ALL THIS ATTENTION ON YOU.
YOU THINK I'M SOME GREASE MONKEY
THAT'LL SPEND THE REST
OF HIS LIFE IN THE WET PITS.
NO!
AREN'T YOU?
I'M DOING SOMETHING WITH
MY LIFE. I WANT YOU WITH ME.
I DON'T WANT TO GO.
DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER SAY, "HOW DO
YOU KNOW YOU WON'T LIKE IT
UNLESS YOU TRY IT?"
DON'T BE RUDE.
( groaning )
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE DOWN
FOR THE COUNT.
Prieto:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
MAY I HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE?
NOW, AS YOU KNOW,
I WAS CONSIDERING
FINDING ANOTHER
WORLD-CLASS DRIVER.
BUT INSTEAD,
WE ARE PROMOTING
FROM WITHIN THE RANKS.
SO PLEASE MEET
THE FIESTA SPECIAL'S NEW DRIVER
DONNY CONLIN.
( applause )
Donny:
I'D LIKE TO THANK
MR. PRIETO
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I'VE BEEN PREPARING
MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS.
YOU EVER NOTICE,
EVERY TIME YOU
GO TO A PARTY
YOU GET INTO A BRAWL?
I'M A NATURAL-BORN
PUNCHING BAG.
YOU LEARN ANYTHING?
YEAH. THIS IS
A SPORT FOR KINGS.
YOU?
NOTHING.
AND WE'RE RUNNING
OUT OF TIME.
IF WE'RE
TO FIND OUT ABOUT TIM
I GOT TO PUT MYSELF
IN HIS PLACE.
YOU'RE NOT CONSIDERING
DRIVING ONE OF THOSE?
WHY NOT?
YOU KNOW HOW FAST
THEY GO AND THEIR COST?
I'VE DRIVEN RACE CARS BEFORE.
BESIDES, MY FRIEND HAD
A FLAT-BOTTOM HYDRO.
THERE'S ONLY ONE PROBLEM.
YOU'RE DELUSIONAL.
THEY ALREADY HAVE A DRIVER.
( applause )
I'M SORRY.
I JUST GOT JEALOUS
AND WENT OFF ON DONNY.
YOU WANT THE
SECRET TRUTH?
I LIKED HAVING YOU
TAKE CARE OF ME.
I LIKED IT TOO.
YOU KNOW, VAL
USED TO SAY
THAT YOU WOULD TAKE CARE
OF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD
IF YOU COULD.
AND IT DRIVES YOU CRAZY
THAT YOU COULDN'T.
VAL SAID THAT?
YEAH. I THINK THAT WAS
ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT SHE LOVED MOST
ABOUT YOU.
I MEAN, IT WAS SO HARD
WHEN VAL DIED, YOU KNOW.
AND I WANTED TO COME
TO YOU FOR COMFORT
BUT I JUST COULDN'T.
THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING
WAS JUST TO HAVE YOU
PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
AND TO TELL ME THAT EVERYTHING
WAS GOING TO BE OKAY AGAIN.
I BETTER WALK YOU
TO YOUR ROOM.
NO. THAT'S OKAY.
I'LL SEE YOU
IN THE MORNING, OKAY?
YEAH.
OKAY. GOOD NIGHT, RENO.
GOOD NIGHT.
( sighs )
HA, HA, HA!
YOU KNOW
WHO YOU ARE?
YOU'RE DONNY CONLIN.
THE FASTEST BOAT
DRIVER IN THE WORLD.
COULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR?
COULD YOU GIVE ME
AN AUTOGRAPH
RIGHT OVER HERE
IN MY AUTOGRAPH BOOK?
RIGHT NEXT TO...
CHECK IT OUT.
BOBBY RAHAL,
MAGIC JOHNSON.
YOU MIND DOING THAT
RIGHT THERE?
COOL, MAN.
GOD, GREAT.
I CAUGHT YOU LAST NIGHT
ON ONE OF THOSE VIDEO
ROCK SPORTS SHOWS.
YOU WERE CATCHING
SOME AIR IN THAT BOAT.
COOL! CHECK THAT OUT!
IS THAT YOUR RIDE?
THAT'S MINE.
YOU NEVER BEEN
IN ONE OF THOSE?
WANT TO CHECK IT OUT?
NEVER MIND ABOUT HER.
COME ON, MAN.
WHOO! HEY, YOU
WANT TO DRIVE?
HELL, I'VE ONLY BEEN
BUGGING YOU FOR FOUR HOURS.
COME ON, COME AROUND
TO THIS OTHER SIDE HERE.
HEY, WHAT ABOUT THAT
CORNER BACK THERE, HUH?
WHOO!
( clears throat )
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.
WHAT THE HELL
YOU DOING, MAN?
LETTING YOU COMMUNE WITH NATURE.
YOU'RE LEAVING ME.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
( engine starting )
WHERE THE HELL COULD HE BE?
HE'S GOT
TO SHOW UP.
RIGHT.
WE'RE LOSING TIME.
WE CAN'T MISS
A DAY ON THE WATER.
MR. PRIETO?
I CAN DRIVE
THIS BOAT.
WHAT?
UM, VINCE HAS
EXPERIENCE.
YEAH, I RACED
UNLIMITED HYDROS
UP PUGET SOUND.
IT'S NOT THE SAME THING,
BUT, UH...
IT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT
THING.
I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE
MUCH CHOICE, SIR.
BESIDES,
IT'S JUST TIME TRIALS.
SUIT UP.
I STILL THINK
YOU'RE NUTS.
THAT'S FUNNY. BOBBY
SAID THE SAME THING.
THESE THINGS
ARE A LOT BIGGER
THAN UNLIMITED HYDROS.
WELL, IF I HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS, I'LL ASK.
( engine chugging )
CLEAR.
OKAY, GREAT
START, VINCE.
PERFECT HOLE SHOT.
Prieto:
YOU'VE GOT
TO PUSH IT HARDER.
VINCE, PULL THROTTLES DOWN.
ROGER, DEBBIE, ROGER.
SHE'S ROCKING LIKE CRAZY.
STARTING TO CHINE.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID
THIS MAN COULD DRIVE!
WHAT DO I DO?
TABS DOWN. DOWN!
I'M TRYING.
DEBBIE!
OH, MY GOD, NO.
Debbie:
RENO!
PAULIE!
Race announcer:
Get a rescue craft down there!
The boat's come to a stop.
There's no sign of the driver.
Wait a minute!
We see some bubbles coming up.
There's the driver. He is safe.
( coughing )
Reno:
AH... CAREFUL.
YOU GOT THE BEDSIDE MANNER
OF AN AUTO MECHANIC.
I AM A MECHANIC.
RIGHT THERE.
WHERE DID YOU GET
THAT ONE?
I GOT THAT FROM THE MAN
WHO REALLY KILLED YOUR SISTER.
HE WAS A CON NAMED
HOG ADAMS.
WHY DO YOU DO IT, RENO?
THIS OTHER COP
NAMED DUTCH DIXON
SPRUNG HIM FROM PRISON
AND HIRED HIM TO KILL ME
BUT VAL TOOK
THE BULLET INSTEAD.
THEN DIXON HAD HIM KILLED
BEFORE HE COULD TESTIFY.
YOU KNOW, I'VE HATED YOU
FOR SO LONG.
DEBBIE...
NO, HEAR ME OUT.
IT HELPED ME
HAVING SOMEONE TO BLAME
FOR VAL'S DEATH
BUT NOW THAT I'VE GOT
THE REAL YOU HERE
I JUST FEEL LIKE
I OWE YOU SO MUCH.
YOU DON'T OWE ME ANYTHING.
SO, UM...
YOU THINK SHE'D APPROVE?
VAL...
...OF YOU AND ME.
UM...
( knock at door )
I'LL GET IT.
HI.
HEY.
HEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
SO YOU THINK HE'LL
MAKE IT OR WHAT?
YEAH, I'M AFRAID SO.
BUT I'LL MAKE SURE.
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS YOU'RE FIRED.
I CAN'T RISK LOSING YOU TOO.
BUT WE'RE JUST
GETTING SOMEWHERE.
NO. YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT.
I'M GOING TO FINISH THE RACE
QUIT THE PRIETO TEAM
AND WALK AWAY.
DEBBIE, YOU CAN'T.
OH, YEAH?
WATCH ME.
MAN, SHE IS
JUST LIKE
HER SISTER.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
GO WHERE?
BACK TO
THE RACE PITS.
MY ACCIDENT WAS NO ACCIDENT.
LOOK I KNOW YOU'VE NEVER DRIVEN
A V-HAUL BEFORE, OKAY?
IT WAS MECHANICAL.
WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE,
YOU JUST GOT FIRED.
I CAN'T LET HER LIVE
WITH TIM'S DEATH
ON HER CONSCIENCE.
SHE'LL TAKE IT
TO HER GRAVE.
JUST LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE
WE KNOW, HMM.
LET'S GO.
YOU ARE A VERY RESILIENT MAN,
VINCE BLACK.
MR. PRIETO.
VINCE...
I'M SURPRISED TO SEE YOU
ON YOUR FEET.
I'M FINE.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I CAME TO SEE
YOUR BOAT.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE MY DRIVING
MADE HER CHINE LIKE THAT.
IT SO HAPPENS I AGREE.
IT SEEMS THAT IN OUR RUSH
TO GET HER
RACE-READY
SOMEONE FORGOT TO PUT FLUID
IN THE OUTDRIVE.
I KNEW IT.
ACTUALLY, YOU DID
A VERY NICE JOB
CONTROLLING HER
AS MUCH AS YOU DID.
WOULD YOU CONSIDER
KEEPING ME ON AS DRIVER?
I'LL WIN THE RACE FOR YOU.
IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME.
WHY'S THAT?
I'VE HAD MY SCRAPES
WITH THE LAW.
I'VE BEEN INVOLVED
IN SOUR DEALS.
I COULD USE A LUCKY BREAK.
WELL, VINCE, I THINK
YOUR LUCK IS CHANGING.
WAIT. DON'T OFFER MY JOB
TO THIS ROOKIE.
GOOD OF YOU TO COME.
DON'T BLAME ME, SIR.
I WAS HAULED OUT
TO THE DESERT
AND BUSHWHACKED.
WE ALL THOUGHT YOU
CAVED IN UNDER
THE PRESSURE.
NOT DAMN LIKELY.
SIR, I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.
ALONE.
I BET YOU DO.
HABLAMOS DESPUES,
SENOR?
COMO NO?
RENO.
HI.
HI.
GUESS WHO I JUST HAD
A CONVERSATION WITH?
WHO?
VAL.
WAS SHE TICKED OFF AT ME.
GAVE ME A LECTURE
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.
I KNOW HOW THAT GOES.
WHAT WAS THE SUBJECT?
COURAGE.
AND FRIENDSHIP.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
FOR OPENERS, I THOUGHT I'D TRY
TO REHIRE YOU AGAIN.
YOU'RE ON.
NOW I WANT TO TELL YOU
ABOUT A CONVERSATION.
ABOUT WHAT?
NOT HERE.
HOP ON.
( groans )
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
DIDN'T YOU AND VAL
USED TO COME HERE?
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
THAT'S OUR SECRET.
WELL...
VAL COULD NEVER
KEEP A SECRET.
I WAS SO DAMN JEALOUS OF HER.
DEBBIE, I STOPPED BY TO SEE...
YOU KNOW, I...
WHAT?
IT'S OKAY, RENO.
NO, IT'S NOT.
NOT WITH ME.
WHY, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT
BE THINKING OF HER
WHILE YOU'RE KISSING ME?
MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON.
WELL, MAYBE I'M NOT
THE JEALOUS TYPE.
DEBBIE, I LOVED YOUR SISTER
AND IT GOT HER KILLED.
IF ANYTHING HAPPENS...
SO WHAT NOW?
YOU'RE MAKING OTHER PEOPLE'S
DECISIONS FOR THEM?
WELL, THAT COMES WITH
THE TERRITORY.
OKAY.
I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL.
LET'S JUST TAKE THINGS
ONE AT A TIME...
AND WHEN THE CASE IS OVER,
WE'LL SEE WHERE WE STAND.
OKAY. BUT...
WELL...
JUST GIVE ME
A COUPLE MORE NIGHTS
TO FANTASIZE, OKAY?
SO WHAT ARE
WE LOOKING FOR?
I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW.
PRIETO WAS IN THE CABIN
LAST TIME I WAS HERE.
IN THE CABIN?
YEP.
WHY WOULD HE BE IN THERE?
YOUR GUESS IS AS
GOOD AS MINE.
I CAN'T IMAGINE HIM
BEING MIXED UP IN THIS.
WHOA.
WHAT ARE THOSE?
THEY CAN'T BE FOR EXTRA
STRUCTURAL SUPPORT.
THE WEIGHT WILL LOSE THE RACE.
THEY'RE NOT FOR SUPPORT.
DAMN RIGHT THEY'RE NOT.
DONNY...
WHAT'S THIS
ALL ABOUT?
GET OUT.
GET OUT!
ANOTHER TWO MINUTES
AND I'D HAVE BEEN OUT OF HERE.
THEN WE'RE BOTH
GLAD I MADE IT.
IS THAT FOR ME?
AND YOUR
GRANDCHILDREN.
THEY'LL PROBABLY STILL BE
SPENDING IT AFTER YOU'RE GONE.
AND, UH, FOR ME?
FINALLY.
ARE YOU GOING TO BLOW UP
YOUR OPPONENT'S BOAT?
I NEED TO TEST THEM.
NO, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
I'M CURIOUS.
THEY'RE FOR MY VILLAGE
IN MEXICO.
WHAT, THEY A LITTLE
TICKED OFF
AT THE TOURISTS
DOWN THERE?
MY VILLAGE IN CHIAPAS.
OH, THE ZAPATISTAS.
I GOT YOU.
REVOLUTION-- THE NEW HOBBY
OF A SELF-MADE
MILLIONAIRE.
PLEASE.
I TRY NOT TO GET
BOGGED DOWN IN POLITICS.
LOAD IT.
SO, BEING FIESTA KING'S
NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU, HUH?
YOU WANT TO BE THE REAL KING.
THE REBELS ARE MY FAMILY,
MR. WEIR.
THEY'RE MY BROTHERS.
MY COUSINS.
MY NIECES.
WE SPENT OUR LIVES FIGHTING
AN OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT.
IT'S NOT A JOKE.
NO, I DIDN'T MEAN TO...
SHOW ME
HOW THIS WORKS.
ABSOLUTELY.
OKAY.
THESE ARE MOST IMPRESSIVE
ON A MOVING TARGET.
THE MISSILE IS WIRE-GUIDED.
YOU KEEP YOUR OBJECTIVE
IN YOUR SIGHTS THERE.
THE LAUNCHER SENDS ALL THE INFO
TO A LITTLE COMPUTER
ON THE ROCKET.
YOU FIRE WITH THAT TRIGGER.
AND...
( gunfire )
THIS WILL DO JUST FINE.
Announcer:
The crowd getting excited
about these two teams.
They are extremely fast.
Look at them flying
on the back part of that course.
Harry Bell,
one of the top drivers
on the West Coast
and running third
in this unlimited hydro heat.
DON'T BOTHER, DEBBIE.
YOUR WRISTS
WILL GIVE OUT
BEFORE THOSE
ROPES DO.
DONNY...
I DON'T GET IT.
WHY WOULD HE
RESORT TO MURDER
JUST TO DRIVE
A STUPID RACE?
IT'S NOT
ABOUT A RACE.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
THOSE RACKS ON THE
BOW OF THE BOAT?
I'VE SEEN
THEM BEFORE.
WHERE?
ARMY RANGERS.
THEY USE THEM TO
TRANSPORT MISSILES.
OH, THAT'S
RIDICULOUS.
HOW MUCH DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT THIS
JUAN CARLOS PRIETO?
NO WAY, RENO.
I TOLD YOU, HE'S
A WONDERFUL GUY.
WHO WAS BORN IN A
MEXICAN PROVINCE, RIGHT?
CURRENTLY LOADED
WITH REVOLUTIONARIES.
HE'D RISK LOSING
AN EMPIRE
IF HE WAS CAUGHT
SMUGGLING WEAPONS.
I DOUBT U.S. CUSTOMS
WILL BOTHER
CHECKING OUT A
COUPLE OF HIGH-PROFILE
BOATS LIKE THAT.
IT'S PROBABLY WHY
HE CHOSE THE SPORT.
We are just moments away
from the start of the race.
BUT BE CAREFUL.
DON'T GET COCKY
AND TRY TO WIN.
HEY, YOU THINK
I'M CRAZY?
I KNOW
YOU'RE CRAZY.
IT'S WHY WE'RE
PARTNERS, NO?
Getting some last minute
instructions, no doubt.
This is a very important race.
A lot riding
on young Conlin's shoulders.
Just a few moments away,
we'll get started
on this final race
of the day
as the two top qualifiers go
head to head.
The finale of the Offshore
Thunder Challenge Cup finals
here in Mission Bay.
WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME!
HOW DID YOU FIND US?
WELL, KIND OF STRANGE
THE CREW CHIEF
WOULD BE OUTSIDE THE
PITS ON RACE DAY, HUH?
ALSO SAW YOUR
HARLEY OUTSIDE.
They like this racing action,
they like these boats.
HAVE THE BOATS LEFT
THE SLIP YET?
TAKING OFF
RIGHT NOW.
COME ON.
We're set to go for the start.
HE'S GOING TO
GET AWAY, RENO.
THERE'S GOT TO BE
SOME WAY TO CATCH HIM.
THERE'S NOTHING
FAST ENOUGH TO CATCH IT.
MAYBE IN THE AIR.
KENNY, GIVE MY FRIEND
A RIDE
AND I'LL GIVE A STORY
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.
OKAY, GET IN.
The boats on the water.
There's the flag.
The pace boat
is along to the side
and there it is!
There's the start!
BREAK A LEG,
SENOR.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
THE RACE HAS STARTED.
SAVE IT, PRIETO.
TELL ME WHAT KIND OF MISSILES
YOU HAVE.
STINGERS, COBRAS, DRAGONS?
WITH THE WORLD
GETTING SO PEACEFUL
WEAPONS HAVE BECOME
A BUYERS MARKET.
AS A MATTER OF FACT
I GOT A VERY GOOD DEAL
ON THIS ONE.
FANTASTIC SPORT!
( grunts )
WHERE'S RENO?
HE'S UP THERE
IN THE HELICOPTER.
COME ON!
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
HOLD ON!
HERE, HERE!
( grunts )
( engine stops )
YOU WOULD HAVE LOST
THE RACE ANYWAY, DONNY.
WAY TOO MUCH WEIGHT
IN THE BOW.
WHOO!
WELL, PRIETO
WILL GO DOWN
FOR TIM'S MURDER.
ADD THE SMUGGLING
CHARGES TO THAT
AND HE'LL BE GONE
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
I WISH I COULD HAVE
SEEN DONNY'S FACE
WHEN THE COPS
FOUND HIM
HANDCUFFED
ON THE BEACH.
I WISH I WOULD HAVE
HUNG AROUND MYSELF.
SO, NOW THAT
IT'S OVER
YOU CAN ANSWER
MY QUESTION.
WHAT QUESTION?
YOU KNOW
WHAT QUESTION.
DO YOU THINK VAL WOULD APPROVE
IF YOU AND I HAD A RELATIONSHIP?
I THINK VAL WOULD HAVE WANTED
YOU TO BE HAPPY
AND HAVE ALL THE
GOOD THINGS IN LIFE:
FAMILY, KIDS, HOME.
SAFETY, SECURITY.
I CAN'T GIVE YOU THOSE THINGS.
WHAT ABOUT WHAT I WANT?
I THINK THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT.
YEAH.
TAKE CARE, LITTLE SISTER.
RIDE SAFE, BIG BROTHER.
SHUT THE MOTORS DOWN.
COME ON, KILL IT.
KILL IT!
( motor stopping )
WHAT ARE YOU MEAT-HEADS
THINKING?
TORQUE THESE HEADS DOWN
AND TUCK YOUR SHIRTS IN.
HI, DONNY.
YOU READY TO ROCK 'N' ROLL?
IS FITIPALDI FAST?
YOU CHECK THE HEAD GASKETS?
JUST LIKE YOU SAID. GREAT CALL.
OH. WHERE'S TIM?
YOU KNOW
IT HURTS ME TO SAY,
BUT I HAVE NO IDEA.
THIS TIME TRIAL
IS IN FIVE MINUTES.
I TOLD YOU WE NEED A NEW DRIVER.
NOT YET,
YOU DON'T.
WHERE THE HELL
HAVE YOU BEEN?
I'M HERE NOW, OKAY?
NO, IT'S NOT OKAY.
YOU'VE BEEN A ZOMBIE
FOR TWO DAYS.
WANT TO TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON?
NOTHING, I'M FINE.
LOOK, DON'T
BLOW ME OFF.
THE WHOLE TEAM'S
DEPENDING ON YOU.
WE'VE ALL WORKED
HARD ON THIS.
WHAT, I HAVEN'T?
I'M NOT SAYING THAT.
BUT FROM MR. PRIETO
ON DOWN...
WHAT?
WH... WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
TIM, TALK TO ME.
IT'S ME.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
I'D LIKE TO.
TIM.
GET IN THE BOAT. LET'S BOOGIE.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
WE'LL TALK AFTER
THIS KILO RUN, OKAY?
OKAY.
AREN'T YOU GOING
TO WISH ME LUCK?
YEAH. GOOD LUCK.
( engine starting )
DEBBIE, SHE'S GOING WEIRD.
SHE PROBABLY GOT THAT FROM YOU.
LET'S GO.
SHE'S RUNNING REAL LOOSE.
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN,
BRING HER BACK IN.
WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.
TIM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
DEBBIE, I CAN'T...
I CAN'T HANG ON TO HER.
TIM!
HE WAS A COP
AND GOOD AT HIS JOB
BUT HE COMMITTED
THE ULTIMATE SIN
AND TESTIFIED AGAINST
OTHER COPS GONE BAD--
COPS THAT TRIED TO KILL HIM
BUT GOT THE WOMAN
HE LOVED INSTEAD.
FRAMED FOR MURDER,
NOW HE PROWLS THE BADLANDS
AN OUTLAW HUNTING OUTLAWS
A BOUNTY HUNTER
A RENEGADE.
HEY, BUDDY, OLD PAL,
BUDDY, OLD PAL
I WANT TO SHOW
YOU SOMETHING.
WHAT ARE THEY
GOING TO DO
WITH THE 500 CHANNELS
OF THE FUTURE?
I MEAN,
THEY CAN'T EVEN FILL
THE STATIONS
THEY ALREADY HAVE.
NOW, AS YOU KNOW
I AM CONSTANTLY STRIVING TO KEEP
THE SIXKILLER ENTERPRISES NAME
IN THE PUBLIC EYE
BY FUSING IN PUBLIC
CONSCIOUSNESS THE WORD SIXKILLER
WITH THE CONCEPT
OF BOUNTY HUNTING
IN AMERICA TODAY.
YOU HAVE ANY DORITOS?
CYNICISM IS SO EASY FOR YOU,
RENO.
YOU'VE TRIED BUS BENCHES,
VIDEOTAPES...
INFOMERCIALS.
THOSE LITTLE PROPELLER BEANIES.
SO NOT EVERY IDEA IS GENIUS.
OKAY, WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE
THIS TIME?
I WANT YOU TO GIVE ME
YOUR TRUE OPINION.
LET IT FLOW WITH YOURSELF.
LET IT GO THROUGH YOUR HAIR.
ARE YOU READY?
BIPLANE BANNERS.
EXCUSE ME?
BIPLANE BANNERS.
PLANES CRUISING THE BEACH
PULLING BANNERS?
INTERACTING WITH THOUSANDS
OF RICH, YOUNG
DEMOGRAPHIC AMERICANS?
AND WHAT'S YOUR BANNER
GOING TO SAY?
I ALSO WRITE MUSIC.
I KNOW THAT.
LIKE BURMA SHAVE.
BEFORE MY TIME.
ARE YOU READY?
HERE IT GOES.
♪ GOT A FELON ON THE RUN ♪
♪ SOME BAIL-SKIPPING WEASEL
WITH A BLAZING GUN ♪
♪ I FRET NOT, I SWEAT NOT ♪
♪ HE'S IN THE CAN, 'CAUSE
AT SIXKILLER ENTERPRISES ♪
♪ WE GET OUR MAN. ♪
IT'S LIKE A RAP.
YOU DON'T NEED A PLANE.
YOU NEED AN AIR FORCE.
WHAT FOR?
TO TOW
ALL THAT SIGNAGE.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
Just days away from
the Offshore Thunder
Challenge Cup Finals
the favorite, Fiesta Boat
flipped in a time trial
killing champion race driver
Tim Connor.
WOW, THAT'S NASTY, HUH?
YEAH.
I'm with
Juan Carlos Prieto
owner of
the Fiesta Special.
It's tough
losing your driver
so close to the finals.
Well, Tim was the best driver
on the circuit.
but what's most difficult
is losing
such a close,
personal friend.
Where does the Fiesta
go from here?
Well, we do have
a second boat
and we're dedicating
the race to Tim.
Now, excuse me.
YOU KNOW WHAT I COULD DO?
I COULD SHORTEN IT
TO A SIXKILLER HAIKU.
HOLD ON A SECOND.
...Prieto's crew readies
the backup boat
in time to compete.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT? WHAT?
WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT?
UH, MR. PRIETO.
DEBBIE.
I'M SO SORRY ABOUT TIM.
IT'S JUST SO
SAD, YOU KNOW?
DON'T BLAME YOURSELF.
YOU'RE THE BEST CREW CHIEF
ON THE CIRCUIT.
IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.
THANKS.
I REALLY LIKED
WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT
"THE BEST THING
WE CAN DO
FOR TIM IS WIN THE RACE."
A NICE SENTIMENT, PERHAPS
BUT NOT VERY REALISTIC.
I WAS JUST HAVING THE SECOND
BOAT PUT IN THE WATER.
I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE
A GOOD CHANCE
BUT I'LL KNOW MORE IN AN HOUR.
WELL, TELL ME
AS SOON AS YOU KNOW.
OKAY.
UM, MR. PRIETO?
I DON'T THINK THIS
WAS AN ACCIDENT.
I MEAN, THE BOAT WOULD HAVE
NEVER STUFFED LIKE THAT.
MAYBE WIND SHEAR, MAYBE...
NOT WITH TWO KNOTS
OUT OF THE SOUTH.
I THINK SOMEONE
MIGHT HAVE FOOLED WITH THE BOAT.
THE IMAGE TEAM?
NO, THEY'RE
GOOD COMPETITORS.
BUT YOU KNOW, SOMETHING
WAS BOTHERING TIM TODAY...
BEFORE HE GOT IN THAT RUN...
SOMETHING PERSONAL.
DEBBIE...
I'VE NEVER TOLD
ANYONE ELSE, BUT...
TIM HAD A GAMBLING PROBLEM.
TIM? YOU'RE KIDDING.
HE CAME TO ME
AND ASKED FOR AN ADVANCE.
I TOLD HIM NO.
SO HE ASKED FOR A LOAN--
$50,000 CASH.
WHO DID HE OWE
THE MONEY TO?
HE WOULDN'T SAY.
WELL, HAVE YOU PICKED
A NEW DRIVER?
NOT YET.
NOW I'VE GOT TO
GET TO THE AIRPORT
TO MEET HIS PARENTS.
YEAH, OF COURSE.
GOOD-BYE, DEBBIE.
BYE.
Reno:
SORRY ABOUT
YOUR FRIEND, DEB.
EXCUSE ME?
RENO?
HI.
MY GOD.
IT'S REALLY YOU.
THEY HAD THE CRASH ON TV
AND I SAW YOUR FACE.
JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING HERE?!
I WANTED TO SEE YOU.
I THOUGHT YOU'D BE IN URUGUAY
OR THAILAND OR MARS BY NOW
AND THAT STILL
WOULDN'T BE FAR ENOUGH.
I'M SORRY TO DISAPPOINT YOU.
WELL, NOW YOU'VE SEEN ME, OKAY?
YOU BLAME ME FOR VAL.
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT, I DO.
DON'T YOU BLAME YOURSELF?
THIS IS TOO CRAZY.
WAIT. DON'T GO.
WHERE DID YOU LEARN
HOW TO DO THAT?
FROM YOU, REMEMBER?
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, RENO?
THROW MY ARMS AROUND YOU
AND CALL YOU RENO-MAN,
LIKE I USED TO?
I WAS JUST HOPING...
STOP HOPING!
IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU
MY SISTER WOULD
BE ALIVE TODAY.
I WASN'T THE ONE
THAT GOT HER KILLED.
IT WAS A DIRTY COP
THAT MADE HER DIE, NOT ME.
HEY, DEB.
IS THIS CREEP
BOTHERING YOU?
GET LOST.
WE'RE OLD FRIENDS.
YEAH?
YEAH.
COPS ARE RIGHT DOWN
THE DOCK.
I'LL GET ONE
FOR YOU.
NO THANKS, TONY.
I WAS JUST LEAVING.
IF YOU CHANGE
YOUR MIND
AND WANT TO TALK
CALL ME THERE.
SO WHAT,
YOU'RE "VINCE BLACK" NOW?
I'LL ALWAYS WANT TO TALK TO YOU,
DEB.
Debbie:
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, SIS.
FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS,
I'VE DONE NOTHING BUT HATE HIM.
THEN I SAW HIM TODAY, AND...
AND IT ALL CAME BACK.
LIKE THAT TIME THAT WE DROVE
ALL NIGHT FROM MEXICO?
EVEN WHEN HE HELPED ME
BUY MY NEW CAR.
MY FIRST CAR.
THAT WARPED LITTLE SALES GUY,
YOU REMEMBER?
HOW SWEET HE WAS
AND HOW MUCH HE LOVED YOU.
I COULDN'T HATE HIM ANYMORE.
I MEAN, IT WAS BAD ENOUGH
LOSING YOU.
I LOST HIM TOO.
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW
HOW MUCH I MISSED HIM.
YES, ANTIQUE AIRWAYS?
YES, I WOULD LIKE
SOME INFORMATION
BECAUSE I'M VERY INTERESTED
IN RENTING ONE OF YOUR BIPLANES
FOR ADVERTISING.
YES. HOW MUCH?
HOW MUCH?!
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
ONE OF THOSE RICKETY OLD PLANES
THAT'LL SKY THROUGH
THE AIR LIKE THAT?
I'LL CALL YOU BACK.
SO, WOULD YOU LIKE
TO EXPLAIN TO ME
WHY YOU RAN OFF
LIKE THAT?
YEAH, REMEMBER
THE BOAT CRASH FOOTAGE
WE WERE WATCHING ON TV?
MM-HMM.
WELL, THE DARK-HAIRED GIRL THERE
THAT WAS RUNNING THE PIT CREW?
THAT'S VAL'S
LITTLE SISTER, DEBBIE.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
WOW.
WELL, DID YOU TALK TO HER?
WELL, I TALKED TO HER,
ALL RIGHT.
BUT SHE DIDN'T DO
MUCH LISTENING.
SHE BLAMES YOU?
I NEVER HAD THE CHANCE
TO EXPLAIN IT ALL TO HER
AFTER VAL WAS SHOT, AND...
THAT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM,
THAT'S HERS.
IT SURE FEELS
LIKE MINE.
I MEAN, SHE'S RIGHT
ABOUT ONE THING:
IF I'D NEVER MET VAL,
SHE'D BE ALIVE TODAY.
WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG, HUH?
WHAT COULD YOU HAVE DONE
DIFFERENT?
IGNORE DUTCH DIXON?
LET HIM GET AWAY WITH MURDER?
NO.
MAYBE IT WAS
A MISTAKE
FOR YOU TO FALL IN LOVE WITH VAL
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
THAT WAS NO MISTAKE.
LOOK, RENO...
THERE ARE PRECIOUS
FEW PEOPLE LIKE YOU
IN THE WORLD
AND WHEN YOU STOP
DOING THE RIGHT THING
BROTHER, WE ARE IN
A LOT OF TROUBLE.
THANKS.
RENO.
STILL WANT TO TALK?
Debbie:
I'M SORRY I MELTED DOWN
WHEN I SAW YOU.
IT'S BEEN A HELL
OF A COUPLE DAYS.
ACCEPTED AND FORGOTTEN.
YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING
THAT YOUR FRIEND
WAS SAYING
IN THERE IS TRUE.
YOU DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING WRONG.
IF I COULD GET VAL BACK
I'D GLADLY GIVE
MY OWN LIFE.
I KNOW THAT.
RENO, I NEED YOUR HELP
WITH SOMETHING.
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S THE CRASH.
THERE'S WEIRD THINGS GOING ON.
I NEED A COP'S EYES.
WOULD YOU COME BACK
TO THE PITS?
YEAH, LET'S GO.
OH, AND LET'S
TAKE THAT GUY.
HE COMES IN HANDY
ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR.
Bobby:
OH, MAN, CHECK THIS OUT.
THIS IS SO EXCITING.
IT'S COLORFUL, YOU KNOW,
THINGS HAPPENING?
KIND OF LIKE ME.
THEY EVEN GOT
NEWS COVERAGE! WOW.
HEY, IS THAT YOUR
BOAT DOWN THERE?
Debbie:
NO, THEY'RE SPONSORED
BY IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST
TO HAVE A LOGO ON THE SIDE?
IT DEPENDS ON
HOW BIG IT IS
AND WHERE IT GOES.
EXCUSE ME?
DO YOU THINK
YOU'D BE WILLING
TO HANG A REAL LONG
SIGN ON THAT BOAT?
WHAT DOES
SHE DO?
THAT'S A
HOSPITALITY GIRL.
EVERY SPONSOR
GETS ONE.
EVERY SPONSOR
GETS ONE?
I THINK I NEED A LITTLE
MARKETING CONSULTATION.
I'LL BE
RIGHT BACK.
I WAS AFRAID OF THAT.
YOU THINK
THE IMAGE BOYS
WOULD HAVE BEEN
WILLING TO KILL
TO WIN
THE OFFSHORE CUP?
NO, I CAN'T SEE IT.
BUT MR. PRIETO DID
TELL ME ONE WEIRD THING.
YEAH, WHAT'S THAT?
WELL, HE SAID THAT TIM
HAD A GAMBLING PROBLEM
AND THAT HE'D RUN UP
SOME MAJOR DEBT
AND WAS HITTING HIM UP
FOR BAIL-OUT MONEY.
THAT'S SAD,
BUT NOT UNHEARD OF.
TIM AND I WERE AS CLOSE
AS SIAMESE TWINS.
IF HE WAS GAMBLING,
I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT.
WELL, WHAT ELSE
COULD HE HAVE USED
ALL HIS MONEY FOR?
I DON'T KNOW.
SO, PRIETO FUNDS
ALL THIS?
YEAH. EVER HEARD
OF FIESTA FOODS?
CHIPS AND DIPS?
SALSA AND TORTILLAS?
"MAKE EVERY MEAL
A FIESTA."
YEAH, THAT'S HIM.
ILLEGAL MEXICAN IMMIGRANT
TURNED SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRE.
HE'S THE NICEST MAN
IN THE WORLD.
HE'S STOOD BEHIND
THIS TEAM 100%.
SO HE'S NOT A SUSPECT.
NO. NO WAY.
WHAT DO WE DO?
I'D LIKE TO GET A LOOK
AT THAT WRECKED BOAT
BUT IN ORDER TO
REALLY GET ME INSIDE
YOU GOT TO WORK ME INTO
THE OPERATION, SOMEHOW.
YOU STILL GOOD
WITH A TORQUE WRENCH?
HEY, GUYS, WHY DON'T YOU
TRY TO DO IT
WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED?
YOU COULDN'T DO
ANY WORSE.
HEY, DONNY
HOW'S IT GOING?
OKAY.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
ALL THIS TIME?
RECRUITING
SOME NEW HELP.
THIS IS...
VINCE BLACK.
WE MET. REMEMBER?
VINCE AND I
GO WAY BACK.
HE'S AN ACE TUNER.
HE'S HELPING FOR A WHILE.
I DON'T THINK WE NEED HELP.
I DO.
HOPE YOU'RE GOOD.
IT'S CALLED A SCREWDRIVER.
THANKS.
NICE GUY.
( knocking )
Reno:
DEBBIE, IT'S ME.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
SOMEBODY TOOK OFFENSE
AT MY SNOOPING.
YOU GOT INSIDE
THE SHED?
YEAH, I GOT IN THERE,
ALL RIGHT.
THE TRIM TAB'S
BEEN TAMPERED WITH.
THE LINE WAS CUT.
WE HAVE TO SHOW MR. PRIETO.
THE BOAT'S GONE.
WHOEVER CLOBBERED ME
OVER THE HEAD
CLEARED OUT THE SHED.
IT'S GOT TO BE SOMEONE
WITH FULL ACCESS CLEARANCE
TO THE BOATS.
WHAT?
OH...
SORRY, UM...
JUST THAT VAL
USED TO GET
THE SAME LOOK.
WELL, LOOK, UH...
WHY DON'T YOU COME
TO THE SPONSOR RECEPTION
WITH ME THIS AFTERNOON.
THINGS GET KIND OF WILD
AND WOOLLY DOWN THERE
SO, MAYBE WE CAN FIND
SOMETHING OUT.
DO I HAVE TO WEAR A TIE?
NO.
GOOD.
( loud pop music playing )
LAST TIME I SAW YOU
IN ANYTHING
MORE THAN A T-SHIRT
WAS WHEN MOM CONNED
YOU AND VAL
INTO CHAPERONING
MY SENIOR PROM.
THAT WAS EVIL.
AND YOU, THREATENING TO RUIN
EVERYONE'S GOOD TIME
BY SHOWING UP
IN YOUR COP UNIFORM.
BUT WE HAD FUN.
REMEMBER? WE WATCHED
THE SUN RISE OVER THE BAY.
YEAH. YEAH, THAT WAS FUN.
I'M GOING TO GET US
SOME CHAMPAGNE.
OKAY.
DON.
HEY, MAN.
LOOKS LIKE
YOU'RE HAVING FUN.
ALWAYS. WE WERE BRAINSTORMING
ON HOW TO PICK UP
A LITTLE EXTRA SPEED
ON THIS STICKY WATER.
WHAT WAS EVERYBODY
ELSE THINKING?
THEY SAID
TO OPEN THE AIR TRAPS FULL.
I THOUGHT ABOUT DOING WORK
TO THE CAVITATION PLATE.
THERE YOU GO.
THERE'S JUST
ONE PROBLEM.
THESE BOATS DON'T HAVE
CAVITATION PLATES.
HEY, DONNY.
IT'S A PARTY.
GO PARTY.
YOU GOT YOURSELF
A REAL CRACKERJACK
MECHANIC HERE.
( Don chuckling )
AHOY, MATEYS.
OH, LOOK, IT'S
CAPTAIN CRUNCH.
EAT YOUR HEART OUT. HELLO.
HI.
SO, WHERE'S PRIETO?
BEHIND YOU,
TOP OF THE STAIRS.
Bobby:
HOW DID HE BECOME BIG TORTILLA?
HE WAS A MIGRANT WORKER
WHO CONVINCED A GROWER
TO LEND HIM 200 BUCKS
TO MAKE FRESH SALSA.
THE BUSINESS TOOK OFF.
MY KIND OF GUY.
I THINK I'LL GO TALK TO HIM.
THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA.
I THINK IT'S AN EXCELLENT IDEA.
HE AND I ARE ALIKE.
LIKE BROTHERS.
WE'RE MEMBERS OF A VERY ELITE
FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION.
MEMBERS, NOW?
YES. THE AMERICAN
DREAM COME TRUE CLUB.
MR. PRIETO,
I PRESUME.
ROBERT SIXKILLER, SIR
AND I JUST WANT
YOU TO KNOW
THAT I ADMIRE YOUR STYLE.
OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YES, I'M ALSO
A SELF-MADE MAN MYSELF
AND VERY INTERESTED
IN OFFSHORE RACING.
THAT'S A FANTASTIC SPORT.
I'M EVEN THINKING ABOUT
SPONSORING A BOAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT?
YOU'LL NEVER REGRET IT.
IT'S LIKE HAVING
A BEAUTIFUL MISTRESS.
SHE BREAKS YOUR HEART,
SHE BURNS YOUR WALLET
BUT SHE GIVES YOU MOMENTS
YOU'LL NEVER REGRET.
YES. EXACTLY HOW MUCH DOES
SHE BURN YOUR WALLET FOR?
WELL, THE BOATS COST
8,500 TO RUN.
SOUNDS REASONABLE.
AN HOUR.
AN HOUR.
YOU HAVE TO REBUILD
THE MOTORS
AFTER EVERY TWO HOURS.
THEY ONLY RUN
FOR TWO HOURS?
UH-HUH, AND THEN YOU NEED
A SEMI TO TRANSPORT THEM.
I DON'T SUPPOSE
A WINNEBAGO WOULD WORK.
UH, NO, NO, I'M AFRAID NOT.
AND WE RACE
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
NOT TO MENTION EUROPE.
PLANE FARE FOR A BOAT.
YES.
WELL, LIKE I SAID,
IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU,
MY FRIEND.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HOW MUCH ARE ONE OF THOSE
LITTLE, BITTY PATCHES
ON THE SIDE OF THE BOAT?
CUTE DRESS.
THANKS.
YOU'RE WAY WRONG
TO IGNORE ME, DEB.
OH, AND HERE
I THOUGHT I WAS LAVISHING
ALL THIS ATTENTION ON YOU.
YOU THINK I'M SOME GREASE MONKEY
THAT'LL SPEND THE REST
OF HIS LIFE IN THE WET PITS.
NO!
AREN'T YOU?
I'M DOING SOMETHING WITH
MY LIFE. I WANT YOU WITH ME.
I DON'T WANT TO GO.
DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER SAY, "HOW DO
YOU KNOW YOU WON'T LIKE IT
UNLESS YOU TRY IT?"
DON'T BE RUDE.
( groaning )
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE DOWN
FOR THE COUNT.
Prieto:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
MAY I HAVE
YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE?
NOW, AS YOU KNOW,
I WAS CONSIDERING
FINDING ANOTHER
WORLD-CLASS DRIVER.
BUT INSTEAD,
WE ARE PROMOTING
FROM WITHIN THE RANKS.
SO PLEASE MEET
THE FIESTA SPECIAL'S NEW DRIVER
DONNY CONLIN.
( applause )
Donny:
I'D LIKE TO THANK
MR. PRIETO
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I'VE BEEN PREPARING
MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS.
YOU EVER NOTICE,
EVERY TIME YOU
GO TO A PARTY
YOU GET INTO A BRAWL?
I'M A NATURAL-BORN
PUNCHING BAG.
YOU LEARN ANYTHING?
YEAH. THIS IS
A SPORT FOR KINGS.
YOU?
NOTHING.
AND WE'RE RUNNING
OUT OF TIME.
IF WE'RE
TO FIND OUT ABOUT TIM
I GOT TO PUT MYSELF
IN HIS PLACE.
YOU'RE NOT CONSIDERING
DRIVING ONE OF THOSE?
WHY NOT?
YOU KNOW HOW FAST
THEY GO AND THEIR COST?
I'VE DRIVEN RACE CARS BEFORE.
BESIDES, MY FRIEND HAD
A FLAT-BOTTOM HYDRO.
THERE'S ONLY ONE PROBLEM.
YOU'RE DELUSIONAL.
THEY ALREADY HAVE A DRIVER.
( applause )
I'M SORRY.
I JUST GOT JEALOUS
AND WENT OFF ON DONNY.
YOU WANT THE
SECRET TRUTH?
I LIKED HAVING YOU
TAKE CARE OF ME.
I LIKED IT TOO.
YOU KNOW, VAL
USED TO SAY
THAT YOU WOULD TAKE CARE
OF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD
IF YOU COULD.
AND IT DRIVES YOU CRAZY
THAT YOU COULDN'T.
VAL SAID THAT?
YEAH. I THINK THAT WAS
ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT SHE LOVED MOST
ABOUT YOU.
I MEAN, IT WAS SO HARD
WHEN VAL DIED, YOU KNOW.
AND I WANTED TO COME
TO YOU FOR COMFORT
BUT I JUST COULDN'T.
THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING
WAS JUST TO HAVE YOU
PUT YOUR ARMS AROUND ME
AND TO TELL ME THAT EVERYTHING
WAS GOING TO BE OKAY AGAIN.
I BETTER WALK YOU
TO YOUR ROOM.
NO. THAT'S OKAY.
I'LL SEE YOU
IN THE MORNING, OKAY?
YEAH.
OKAY. GOOD NIGHT, RENO.
GOOD NIGHT.
( sighs )
HA, HA, HA!
YOU KNOW
WHO YOU ARE?
YOU'RE DONNY CONLIN.
THE FASTEST BOAT
DRIVER IN THE WORLD.
COULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR?
COULD YOU GIVE ME
AN AUTOGRAPH
RIGHT OVER HERE
IN MY AUTOGRAPH BOOK?
RIGHT NEXT TO...
CHECK IT OUT.
BOBBY RAHAL,
MAGIC JOHNSON.
YOU MIND DOING THAT
RIGHT THERE?
COOL, MAN.
GOD, GREAT.
I CAUGHT YOU LAST NIGHT
ON ONE OF THOSE VIDEO
ROCK SPORTS SHOWS.
YOU WERE CATCHING
SOME AIR IN THAT BOAT.
COOL! CHECK THAT OUT!
IS THAT YOUR RIDE?
THAT'S MINE.
YOU NEVER BEEN
IN ONE OF THOSE?
WANT TO CHECK IT OUT?
NEVER MIND ABOUT HER.
COME ON, MAN.
WHOO! HEY, YOU
WANT TO DRIVE?
HELL, I'VE ONLY BEEN
BUGGING YOU FOR FOUR HOURS.
COME ON, COME AROUND
TO THIS OTHER SIDE HERE.
HEY, WHAT ABOUT THAT
CORNER BACK THERE, HUH?
WHOO!
( clears throat )
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.
WHAT THE HELL
YOU DOING, MAN?
LETTING YOU COMMUNE WITH NATURE.
YOU'RE LEAVING ME.
I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
( engine starting )
WHERE THE HELL COULD HE BE?
HE'S GOT
TO SHOW UP.
RIGHT.
WE'RE LOSING TIME.
WE CAN'T MISS
A DAY ON THE WATER.
MR. PRIETO?
I CAN DRIVE
THIS BOAT.
WHAT?
UM, VINCE HAS
EXPERIENCE.
YEAH, I RACED
UNLIMITED HYDROS
UP PUGET SOUND.
IT'S NOT THE SAME THING,
BUT, UH...
IT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT
THING.
I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE
MUCH CHOICE, SIR.
BESIDES,
IT'S JUST TIME TRIALS.
SUIT UP.
I STILL THINK
YOU'RE NUTS.
THAT'S FUNNY. BOBBY
SAID THE SAME THING.
THESE THINGS
ARE A LOT BIGGER
THAN UNLIMITED HYDROS.
WELL, IF I HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS, I'LL ASK.
( engine chugging )
CLEAR.
OKAY, GREAT
START, VINCE.
PERFECT HOLE SHOT.
Prieto:
YOU'VE GOT
TO PUSH IT HARDER.
VINCE, PULL THROTTLES DOWN.
ROGER, DEBBIE, ROGER.
SHE'S ROCKING LIKE CRAZY.
STARTING TO CHINE.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID
THIS MAN COULD DRIVE!
WHAT DO I DO?
TABS DOWN. DOWN!
I'M TRYING.
DEBBIE!
OH, MY GOD, NO.
Debbie:
RENO!
PAULIE!
Race announcer:
Get a rescue craft down there!
The boat's come to a stop.
There's no sign of the driver.
Wait a minute!
We see some bubbles coming up.
There's the driver. He is safe.
( coughing )
Reno:
AH... CAREFUL.
YOU GOT THE BEDSIDE MANNER
OF AN AUTO MECHANIC.
I AM A MECHANIC.
RIGHT THERE.
WHERE DID YOU GET
THAT ONE?
I GOT THAT FROM THE MAN
WHO REALLY KILLED YOUR SISTER.
HE WAS A CON NAMED
HOG ADAMS.
WHY DO YOU DO IT, RENO?
THIS OTHER COP
NAMED DUTCH DIXON
SPRUNG HIM FROM PRISON
AND HIRED HIM TO KILL ME
BUT VAL TOOK
THE BULLET INSTEAD.
THEN DIXON HAD HIM KILLED
BEFORE HE COULD TESTIFY.
YOU KNOW, I'VE HATED YOU
FOR SO LONG.
DEBBIE...
NO, HEAR ME OUT.
IT HELPED ME
HAVING SOMEONE TO BLAME
FOR VAL'S DEATH
BUT NOW THAT I'VE GOT
THE REAL YOU HERE
I JUST FEEL LIKE
I OWE YOU SO MUCH.
YOU DON'T OWE ME ANYTHING.
SO, UM...
YOU THINK SHE'D APPROVE?
VAL...
...OF YOU AND ME.
UM...
( knock at door )
I'LL GET IT.
HI.
HEY.
HEY, YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
SO YOU THINK HE'LL
MAKE IT OR WHAT?
YEAH, I'M AFRAID SO.
BUT I'LL MAKE SURE.
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
IT MEANS YOU'RE FIRED.
I CAN'T RISK LOSING YOU TOO.
BUT WE'RE JUST
GETTING SOMEWHERE.
NO. YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT.
I'M GOING TO FINISH THE RACE
QUIT THE PRIETO TEAM
AND WALK AWAY.
DEBBIE, YOU CAN'T.
OH, YEAH?
WATCH ME.
MAN, SHE IS
JUST LIKE
HER SISTER.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
GO WHERE?
BACK TO
THE RACE PITS.
MY ACCIDENT WAS NO ACCIDENT.
LOOK I KNOW YOU'VE NEVER DRIVEN
A V-HAUL BEFORE, OKAY?
IT WAS MECHANICAL.
WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE,
YOU JUST GOT FIRED.
I CAN'T LET HER LIVE
WITH TIM'S DEATH
ON HER CONSCIENCE.
SHE'LL TAKE IT
TO HER GRAVE.
JUST LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE
WE KNOW, HMM.
LET'S GO.
YOU ARE A VERY RESILIENT MAN,
VINCE BLACK.
MR. PRIETO.
VINCE...
I'M SURPRISED TO SEE YOU
ON YOUR FEET.
I'M FINE.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I CAME TO SEE
YOUR BOAT.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE MY DRIVING
MADE HER CHINE LIKE THAT.
IT SO HAPPENS I AGREE.
IT SEEMS THAT IN OUR RUSH
TO GET HER
RACE-READY
SOMEONE FORGOT TO PUT FLUID
IN THE OUTDRIVE.
I KNEW IT.
ACTUALLY, YOU DID
A VERY NICE JOB
CONTROLLING HER
AS MUCH AS YOU DID.
WOULD YOU CONSIDER
KEEPING ME ON AS DRIVER?
I'LL WIN THE RACE FOR YOU.
IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME.
WHY'S THAT?
I'VE HAD MY SCRAPES
WITH THE LAW.
I'VE BEEN INVOLVED
IN SOUR DEALS.
I COULD USE A LUCKY BREAK.
WELL, VINCE, I THINK
YOUR LUCK IS CHANGING.
WAIT. DON'T OFFER MY JOB
TO THIS ROOKIE.
GOOD OF YOU TO COME.
DON'T BLAME ME, SIR.
I WAS HAULED OUT
TO THE DESERT
AND BUSHWHACKED.
WE ALL THOUGHT YOU
CAVED IN UNDER
THE PRESSURE.
NOT DAMN LIKELY.
SIR, I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.
ALONE.
I BET YOU DO.
HABLAMOS DESPUES,
SENOR?
COMO NO?
RENO.
HI.
HI.
GUESS WHO I JUST HAD
A CONVERSATION WITH?
WHO?
VAL.
WAS SHE TICKED OFF AT ME.
GAVE ME A LECTURE
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.
I KNOW HOW THAT GOES.
WHAT WAS THE SUBJECT?
COURAGE.
AND FRIENDSHIP.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
FOR OPENERS, I THOUGHT I'D TRY
TO REHIRE YOU AGAIN.
YOU'RE ON.
NOW I WANT TO TELL YOU
ABOUT A CONVERSATION.
ABOUT WHAT?
NOT HERE.
HOP ON.
( groans )
YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
DIDN'T YOU AND VAL
USED TO COME HERE?
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
THAT'S OUR SECRET.
WELL...
VAL COULD NEVER
KEEP A SECRET.
I WAS SO DAMN JEALOUS OF HER.
DEBBIE, I STOPPED BY TO SEE...
YOU KNOW, I...
WHAT?
IT'S OKAY, RENO.
NO, IT'S NOT.
NOT WITH ME.
WHY, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT
BE THINKING OF HER
WHILE YOU'RE KISSING ME?
MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON.
WELL, MAYBE I'M NOT
THE JEALOUS TYPE.
DEBBIE, I LOVED YOUR SISTER
AND IT GOT HER KILLED.
IF ANYTHING HAPPENS...
SO WHAT NOW?
YOU'RE MAKING OTHER PEOPLE'S
DECISIONS FOR THEM?
WELL, THAT COMES WITH
THE TERRITORY.
OKAY.
I'LL MAKE YOU A DEAL.
LET'S JUST TAKE THINGS
ONE AT A TIME...
AND WHEN THE CASE IS OVER,
WE'LL SEE WHERE WE STAND.
OKAY. BUT...
WELL...
JUST GIVE ME
A COUPLE MORE NIGHTS
TO FANTASIZE, OKAY?
SO WHAT ARE
WE LOOKING FOR?
I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW.
PRIETO WAS IN THE CABIN
LAST TIME I WAS HERE.
IN THE CABIN?
YEP.
WHY WOULD HE BE IN THERE?
YOUR GUESS IS AS
GOOD AS MINE.
I CAN'T IMAGINE HIM
BEING MIXED UP IN THIS.
WHOA.
WHAT ARE THOSE?
THEY CAN'T BE FOR EXTRA
STRUCTURAL SUPPORT.
THE WEIGHT WILL LOSE THE RACE.
THEY'RE NOT FOR SUPPORT.
DAMN RIGHT THEY'RE NOT.
DONNY...
WHAT'S THIS
ALL ABOUT?
GET OUT.
GET OUT!
ANOTHER TWO MINUTES
AND I'D HAVE BEEN OUT OF HERE.
THEN WE'RE BOTH
GLAD I MADE IT.
IS THAT FOR ME?
AND YOUR
GRANDCHILDREN.
THEY'LL PROBABLY STILL BE
SPENDING IT AFTER YOU'RE GONE.
AND, UH, FOR ME?
FINALLY.
ARE YOU GOING TO BLOW UP
YOUR OPPONENT'S BOAT?
I NEED TO TEST THEM.
NO, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
I'M CURIOUS.
THEY'RE FOR MY VILLAGE
IN MEXICO.
WHAT, THEY A LITTLE
TICKED OFF
AT THE TOURISTS
DOWN THERE?
MY VILLAGE IN CHIAPAS.
OH, THE ZAPATISTAS.
I GOT YOU.
REVOLUTION-- THE NEW HOBBY
OF A SELF-MADE
MILLIONAIRE.
PLEASE.
I TRY NOT TO GET
BOGGED DOWN IN POLITICS.
LOAD IT.
SO, BEING FIESTA KING'S
NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU, HUH?
YOU WANT TO BE THE REAL KING.
THE REBELS ARE MY FAMILY,
MR. WEIR.
THEY'RE MY BROTHERS.
MY COUSINS.
MY NIECES.
WE SPENT OUR LIVES FIGHTING
AN OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT.
IT'S NOT A JOKE.
NO, I DIDN'T MEAN TO...
SHOW ME
HOW THIS WORKS.
ABSOLUTELY.
OKAY.
THESE ARE MOST IMPRESSIVE
ON A MOVING TARGET.
THE MISSILE IS WIRE-GUIDED.
YOU KEEP YOUR OBJECTIVE
IN YOUR SIGHTS THERE.
THE LAUNCHER SENDS ALL THE INFO
TO A LITTLE COMPUTER
ON THE ROCKET.
YOU FIRE WITH THAT TRIGGER.
AND...
( gunfire )
THIS WILL DO JUST FINE.
Announcer:
The crowd getting excited
about these two teams.
They are extremely fast.
Look at them flying
on the back part of that course.
Harry Bell,
one of the top drivers
on the West Coast
and running third
in this unlimited hydro heat.
DON'T BOTHER, DEBBIE.
YOUR WRISTS
WILL GIVE OUT
BEFORE THOSE
ROPES DO.
DONNY...
I DON'T GET IT.
WHY WOULD HE
RESORT TO MURDER
JUST TO DRIVE
A STUPID RACE?
IT'S NOT
ABOUT A RACE.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
THOSE RACKS ON THE
BOW OF THE BOAT?
I'VE SEEN
THEM BEFORE.
WHERE?
ARMY RANGERS.
THEY USE THEM TO
TRANSPORT MISSILES.
OH, THAT'S
RIDICULOUS.
HOW MUCH DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT THIS
JUAN CARLOS PRIETO?
NO WAY, RENO.
I TOLD YOU, HE'S
A WONDERFUL GUY.
WHO WAS BORN IN A
MEXICAN PROVINCE, RIGHT?
CURRENTLY LOADED
WITH REVOLUTIONARIES.
HE'D RISK LOSING
AN EMPIRE
IF HE WAS CAUGHT
SMUGGLING WEAPONS.
I DOUBT U.S. CUSTOMS
WILL BOTHER
CHECKING OUT A
COUPLE OF HIGH-PROFILE
BOATS LIKE THAT.
IT'S PROBABLY WHY
HE CHOSE THE SPORT.
We are just moments away
from the start of the race.
BUT BE CAREFUL.
DON'T GET COCKY
AND TRY TO WIN.
HEY, YOU THINK
I'M CRAZY?
I KNOW
YOU'RE CRAZY.
IT'S WHY WE'RE
PARTNERS, NO?
Getting some last minute
instructions, no doubt.
This is a very important race.
A lot riding
on young Conlin's shoulders.
Just a few moments away,
we'll get started
on this final race
of the day
as the two top qualifiers go
head to head.
The finale of the Offshore
Thunder Challenge Cup finals
here in Mission Bay.
WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME!
HOW DID YOU FIND US?
WELL, KIND OF STRANGE
THE CREW CHIEF
WOULD BE OUTSIDE THE
PITS ON RACE DAY, HUH?
ALSO SAW YOUR
HARLEY OUTSIDE.
They like this racing action,
they like these boats.
HAVE THE BOATS LEFT
THE SLIP YET?
TAKING OFF
RIGHT NOW.
COME ON.
We're set to go for the start.
HE'S GOING TO
GET AWAY, RENO.
THERE'S GOT TO BE
SOME WAY TO CATCH HIM.
THERE'S NOTHING
FAST ENOUGH TO CATCH IT.
MAYBE IN THE AIR.
KENNY, GIVE MY FRIEND
A RIDE
AND I'LL GIVE A STORY
YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.
OKAY, GET IN.
The boats on the water.
There's the flag.
The pace boat
is along to the side
and there it is!
There's the start!
BREAK A LEG,
SENOR.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
THE RACE HAS STARTED.
SAVE IT, PRIETO.
TELL ME WHAT KIND OF MISSILES
YOU HAVE.
STINGERS, COBRAS, DRAGONS?
WITH THE WORLD
GETTING SO PEACEFUL
WEAPONS HAVE BECOME
A BUYERS MARKET.
AS A MATTER OF FACT
I GOT A VERY GOOD DEAL
ON THIS ONE.
FANTASTIC SPORT!
( grunts )
WHERE'S RENO?
HE'S UP THERE
IN THE HELICOPTER.
COME ON!
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
HOLD ON!
HERE, HERE!
( grunts )
( engine stops )
YOU WOULD HAVE LOST
THE RACE ANYWAY, DONNY.
WAY TOO MUCH WEIGHT
IN THE BOW.
WHOO!
WELL, PRIETO
WILL GO DOWN
FOR TIM'S MURDER.
ADD THE SMUGGLING
CHARGES TO THAT
AND HE'LL BE GONE
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
I WISH I COULD HAVE
SEEN DONNY'S FACE
WHEN THE COPS
FOUND HIM
HANDCUFFED
ON THE BEACH.
I WISH I WOULD HAVE
HUNG AROUND MYSELF.
SO, NOW THAT
IT'S OVER
YOU CAN ANSWER
MY QUESTION.
WHAT QUESTION?
YOU KNOW
WHAT QUESTION.
DO YOU THINK VAL WOULD APPROVE
IF YOU AND I HAD A RELATIONSHIP?
I THINK VAL WOULD HAVE WANTED
YOU TO BE HAPPY
AND HAVE ALL THE
GOOD THINGS IN LIFE:
FAMILY, KIDS, HOME.
SAFETY, SECURITY.
I CAN'T GIVE YOU THOSE THINGS.
WHAT ABOUT WHAT I WANT?
I THINK THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT.
YEAH.
TAKE CARE, LITTLE SISTER.
RIDE SAFE, BIG BROTHER.
