Blood Drive

[Ennio morricone's "the ecstasy of gold"]

- you don't find it odd that we're the only racers

on this road right now?

- Heart might be an evil corporation,

but their tech is top notch.

- I feel like slink is up to something.

- Like drugging up someone else's sister

and making them go crazy?

I'm gonna kill you, master of mayhem.

- Grace. - Sixth stage of grief.

Revenge. - Okay, there's no way

for me to know what you're going through right now,

but I need you to stay with me on this one, okay?

- That's the first cop car I've seen in ages.

- Make sure your seatbelts are on.

I got this. - Perfect timing.

We need fuel.

- ugh. - Relax, Barbie.

It's just a cop.

You speak the language.

Afternoon. You folks in a hurry?

Yeah, sorry, officer.

We're just, uh, trying to make up some time

in the back roads.

Everything all right?

Uh, yes, sir.

Right as rain.

Just, uh, been a long haul.

- And you, ma'am? You okay?

- Oh, yeah, I'm absolutely fine, sir.

Thanks. - Uh, you know,

I have a lot of respect for the badge.

Los Angeles.

- Damn shame what they did to that force.

Turning them into a bunch of clock-punching civilians.

You're a long way from Los Angeles.

Where you headed?

Uh, red river.

What's your business there?

- We under arrest? - Not yet.

But I clocked you at 92 per.

Right, um, and like I said,

I'm so sorry, um... - I could use some help.

Police help. - Oh, we'd love to.

But like you said, we're really in a rush.

- Young lady, there's only one road

and it runs right through red river

and I'm the sheriff of red river.

Things starting to add up yet?

- Yes, either we help you out or we don't pass.

Straight up the road.

Three more miles.

There's a garage off to your right.

Park there.

- let's blow through. I'll do a little backup work.

How long can it really take?

- too much of a pussy to kill me yourself, slink?

Master of mayhem, my ass.

More like masturbator of yourself.

- Who else is he supposed to masturbate?

- I am getting so sick of this race.

- I wonder why they don't let cars in.

- Maybe it's cause they've heard that some cars eat people.

Ow.

Did you feel that?

- Emp. - That's electromagnetic pulse.

It disables anything with an electric charge.

That's right.

Sheriff Leon has me run an emp device at all times.

Creates a barrier around the town.

There's no power allowed in red river.

Cars end up just stalling out.

Not sure why it did that to your necks, though.

What is it, MacGyver?

Brain bombs.

Never seen tech like this.

Hey, be careful with those.

If they power back up, they can explode.

- These things are right against your spine.

Who did this to you?

Someone you don't wanna know.

No way.

You've gotta be kidding me.

My god, do you know what this is?

This is a new fusion.

This is a beta of a nuclear-powered sedan.

They only made 12.

Oh, wowzers.

- Wowzers? - What's so special about it?

- Gets a million miles to the charge.

- A million? To one charge?

It only takes one charge.

It's nuclear-powered.

Do you know, Terry, I've been looking

for one of these for a long time.

So why didn't you sell it?

It's gotta be worth a fortune.

- This vehicle is a once-in-a-lifetime

sort of thing, you don't sell it.

You admire it.

- hey, there. - You girls done

kissing each other?

Town's this way. - Hey, if it's okay

with you guys, I think I'm gonna stay here

and see if I can make myself useful.

I like you, lady.

Being useful is the best thing you can be.

Let's go.

It started with the scar.

That god damn rip created all kinds of horrible shit.

People got sick, went crazy.

Took me a while. I finally figured it out.

We were getting our electricity

from the worktel power grid,

part of which hung over the scar.

Whatever evil was seeping out of that wound,

was getting to us through the power lines.

What do you mean, evil?

I cut the lines.

Thought that would solve it.

But the sickness was already here.

- So what do you need from us? - Well, the sickness

got into some of the townsfolk,

twisted them up inside.

Started using electricity as a weapon.

Cattle prods, tasers.

Only way to stop them was to fire up a juice killer.

Ain't got no juice, they ain't a threat no more.

- So you have a pretty solid way of keeping them out.

What's the problem? - They're more of them now.

And I'm hearing they're fixing to come back

and finish what they started.

But they don't know your face.

Now, you could sneak into their camp,

shut down their power source,

then I could stop them for good.

Undercover work.

You up for it?

Do I really have a choice?

- You're welcome to get cleaned up at the hotel.

I'll meet you at the police station in an hour.

enjoy.

Thank you.

I can get used to this.

Maybe stay here a while.

- Sure beats the inside of a Camaro.

get off!

Aah!

Karma's dead.

All I know is she fought like a warrior.

Grace!

Barbie? - Yes?

- Why don't you come in here a minute?

- I can hear you fine from out here.

- Come on, we've already crossed that threshold.

Wanna cross it again?

You can't fuck the pain away.

No harm in trying.

Plus, I feel free.

And I like it.

And I'm horny.

Grace.

Yeah?

- I like you. - You do?

- I do. - Mm-hmm.

- But-- - but what?
