Just moments ago, a full-scale riot broke out
at Terminal lsland Penitentiary.
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.
(WHlSTLE BLOWlNG)
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
(GRUNTlNG)
Of course l'm serious!
Patch me live right fucking now!
Either you take me live
or l tell your wife everything.
(SCREAMlNG)
You got that, right?
What a shit 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 fucking boring, that's why.
The world's greatest game.
l think it's the third
world's greatest game, right?
(LAUGHS)
What the fuck are you laughing at?
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.
(MARKUS LAUGHS)
Look, he fucks up, Mr. Kane,
he answers to me, okay?
lt's going to be all right, Luke. Trust me.
Always do.
l know you do.
Come on. l've got something to show you.
What do you think?
This is for me?
-You don't like it?

l just think, maybe, you know,
based on the kind of work l do,
you don't think it's a bit orange?
-You don't fucking like it.
-Are you kidding me?
She's stunning.
l just wonder, you think l might
stand out in this thing?
No, the more obvious you are,

Precisely.

WEYLAND: Relax.
l'm surprised those animals
don't kill each other with more regularity.
You're both here
because this incident has created
a public relations nightmare for me.
(CHUCKLES)
Was something l said funny?
Well, you had a 48 share.
Your network's previous high was a seven.
What you call a nightmare
l'd call a wet dream.
Mr. Weyland, l know that the network
isn't your prime moneymaker.
But l can't believe that you don't realise
what a gold mine you're sitting on.
Humour me, Miss Jones.
People are tired of fake violence
and fights staged by Vegas promoters.
The hatred that your inmates have
is pure. Can't be duplicated.

Fuck you!
The average Death Match fight
garners a 50 share.
lt peaked two months ago at 62,
but has been on the decline since.
The most dangerous fighter is Big Bill,
with a death count of 1 9,
followed by 14K,
-who, coincidentally, has 14 kills.
-Great, man.
Someone did their homework, right?
-ls that him?
-Yeah.
LlSTS: That's September Jones.
Former Miss Universe.

You have a list pretty much ready to go

ANNOUNCER: Live from Terminal lsland,
television's most violent, most disturbing,
and most watched programme
in human history.
Welcome to Death Match.
Our first fighter, a murderer serving
four consecutive life sentences,
Xander Grady!
ANNOUNCER: Xander,
His opponent,
leader of the Terminal Island Triads,
he currently ranks second on the kill board,
he was Interpol's third most wanted
until his arrest in Los Angeles last year,
ANNOUNCER: 14K one submission, 14 kills.
The combatants are picked by lottery
randomly each week.
There are two ways to win.
Kill 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 killed.
ANNOUNCER: Dim the lights.
The carnage is about to begin.
You're number one!
Yo, baby, you're my number one!

Death Match is a trademark
of Weyland International.
Fighters are convicted violent felons.
Acts should not be duplicated at home.
Exactly what the fuck
do you think you are doing?
You are done.
Done!
Lights out!
Hey, baby.
The numbers from the overnights are in.
What do l pay you for?
The ratings are down again. This time, 20%.
Now, you better reverse the trend,
or l'll find someone who can.
Are you sure?
Yes, l'm sure. Now, you make my
motherfucking 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 killed a Triad last match.
lt defies logic why he wouldn't kill him
if he had the chance.
Hey, kid,
l'm not looking for a best friend, okay?
So, just leave me alone.
GOLDBERG: Carl Lucas. (LAUGHS)
-Chill. Chill, man.

You've been assigned to our work detail.
That's Rocco,
l'm Goldberg.
-Goldberg, huh?
-Yeah.
What are you, like, the...
You, like, the last Mexican Jew, or what?
(LAUGHS)
Yeah. l killed all the rest.
Okay. So, this work detail,
what are we looking at?
And don't tell me we're washing underwear.
-ROCCO: No.

l'm not washing anybody's underwear.

On your feet, Lucas. Warden wants you.
That'll be all.
Carl Lucas, arrested 22 times
over a span of 20 years.
But nothing ever stuck,
not a single damn one.
You just slipped through the cracks.
Well, l shot a cop.
Those cracks, they fill up pretty fast.
They sure do. Yeah.
Now, at first l didn't realise who you were.
Really? So, who am l?
Well, an idiot, and soon a dead man.
DA offers you a talk-and-walk,
and you turn him down?
ls that why you got me here?
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 killers 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 pussy.
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, guns, shells.
lf it kills, we make it.
Hey, are you telling me the government's
paying top dollar for this recycled shit?
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?
GOLDBERG: They're making
money off our blood.
-What do you know about these wheels?
-A little bit.

-Why don't you see what she's got?
-(LAUGHS) For real?
-For real.

Who was driving that car?

-What car?
Hey, Luke, you a fighter?
l got no reason to fight anyone.
Hey, reasons don't mean shit in this place.

for new blood,

You ever hear of a computer?
You're, like, a century behind everyone.
l'm surprised l don't find an abacus in here.
-What are you doing in my office?
-l'm here for him.
Carl Lucas.
Even the name gives me a hard-on.
The judge called him a monster at his trial.
He's perfect.
-l can sell him.
-You can't have him.
-l wasn't asking your permission.
-Wait. There's more to it.
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 kill 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.
Warden Parks, you and your prison
exist for one reason,
to facilitate Death Match.
And here l thought we were here
to protect society and punish criminals.
Then you're dumber than l thought.

-Exactly. We need to evolve.
We've developed a strong base,
we have legitimate TV stars...
The board's decision is final, Miss Jones.
ln the past six months, l'm the only
profitable thing about this company.
Unless you want a sexual harassment suit
crammed down your throat,
you will listen to what l have to say.
Fine.
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 war on your fucking 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 fucking artillery.
(EXCLAlMS)
SEPTEMBER: Every car will hold as many
guns and as much ammunition as it can.
(LAUGHlNG)
So, you're going to arm the prisoners.
Precautions will be made to make sure
they can only shoot at people on the track.
Nine cars, three days,
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, rape, homicide, whatever,
he wins his freedom.
He wins his life.
You have life,
freedom.
Stop.
Death Race.
LUKE: You know what?
That's fucking bullshit, Rocco.
Well, how do you know, man?
Maybe it's for real.
Are you kidding me?
You think they're gonna let murderers
and rapists out of this place, ever?
Hey, Luke's right.
And besides that, homes,
you don't drive worth a shit.
ROCCO: You know what? Fucking blow me.
(BlG BlLL LAUGHlNG)

That would be the only chance l have

And what would you do, Lists,

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 fuck 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 fuck 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 kill 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 fuck 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 kill him or l kill you.
Let me make these walls disappear.
Let me make you part of the view
from outside, Katrina.
Freedom.

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 fucking neck.
(KNOCKlNG)
-What do you want?
-Time to race.
GOLDBERG: You got a big fucking 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 fucking bounty, Lucas.
lt's as plain as day.
l don't believe it.
Why would l lie?
lt makes no fucking 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

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.

(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 kill 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 kill 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?
-Fuck off, Goldberg.
Yeah, l got you, baby.

-KATRlNA: lt's not working!
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 guns, no smoke, nothing.
Come on, hit it, you dumbass bitch!
GOLDBERG: Swerve! Swerve!
-You, motherfucker!
-Turn!
What can l do?
-Brace yourself.
-No! What are you doing?
GOLDBERG: Get the fuck out ofthere!
(SCREAMS)
Come on! You need to get out of there!
This is my fight.
No choice. Hang on.

ELECTRONlC VOlCE: Heat-seeking missile

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 fuck you talking about?
Katrina said it was rigged from the inside.
And you're the only motherfucker
that could have got to it.
You killed him?
Get away from me. Fuck 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 kill 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 fucking 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.
Three, two, one, and we're in.

MAN: It will be. We're live in five.
Okay, time for one more.

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.
