00:00It all comes down to this, the Apex Velocity Champions Finals.
00:07Triple Crown Champion, Alessandro Rex.
00:10The Maverick is going head-to-head with this season's wildcard to featuring Cade Stone.
00:16The Maverick, Alessandro has made history, three titles in a row.
00:20No one's ever done it before, but today it's still a guy.
00:23Will he make it four, or will Cade end their legend right here?
00:26One thing's for sure, this race is going down in history.
00:29You made it. I've seen you at every one of my races.
00:41You remember me? But I'm just a fan.
00:47Not to me. I've seen you every time. If I went to date, I'd take you on a date.
00:53You're kidding, right?
00:59No, that's the race. Hold on a look for me.
01:01Hold on a look for me.
01:03No, that's the race. Hold on a look for me.
01:05Hold on a look for me.
01:07Hold on a look for me.
01:29This is insane!
01:40Alexandre Cage, confident bumper, wheel to wheel, who stuck the head, who stuck the nerve.
01:45This is a race for the ages!
01:59This is insane!
02:29It's over!
02:40The legend has fallen and a new one rises!
02:42Capestone is the new king of Asherah!
02:57It was you.
02:59You messed with my car.
03:01Bingo.
03:02It took you long enough to figure it out.
03:05Why?
03:06My parents treated you like by their own.
03:10Don't you care about them all!
03:12They never let me race!
03:13Just because I was adopted.
03:15Like I didn't belong.
03:16Because you weren't good enough.
03:19No, you're not good enough!
03:21From now on, everything you have is mine.
03:24Oh, and by the way, Porter's parents of yours, they died in a car crash on the way to the race.
03:38And guess who made that happen?
03:42No.
03:43Mom.
03:45Dad.
03:46You monster!
03:46Being in you was just the beginning!
03:56You and your father were fools!
03:58You're stuck.
03:58I'm stuck.
03:58Mom.
03:59I'm stuck.
04:00I'm stuck.
04:00Mom, Dad, I miss you so much.
04:15I've got nowhere to go.
04:30Evelyn, he's a mess.
04:33Let's head back to the racing club.
04:35Why does he look so familiar?
04:37He's freezing.
04:39We can't just leave him here.
04:41Let's take him back to Apollo Club.
05:00Evelyn, the Apex Velocity qualifies our tomorrow.
05:13I promise I'll lead the Apollo Club back to the Champions League.
05:16We are reclaiming on Rory.
05:18Julian, you're the best driver that we've got.
05:20If you win, the sponsors will come crawling back to us.
05:24With your skills, you might just outdrive the Triple Crown King.
05:27If only Alexander the Triple Crown King.
05:30Hadn't have disappeared when Cade beat him.
05:33We might have been unstoppable.
05:39They say he couldn't take the loss and disappeared.
05:42He always wore that helmet.
05:43No one had to throw his little face.
05:45Yet Evelyn fell for him hard.
05:47The champ and the dreamer.
05:49A love story that never made it to chapter one.
05:51Morgan, come on, quit.
05:54Ever since Cade showed up smashing all the teams out there,
05:57Apex Velocity might as well be called the Cade Solo Show.
06:01Back in the day,
06:02Apollo Club used to be top of the charts.
06:06It wasn't until Cade signed with Falcon that we got pushed out of the rankings.
06:10Sponsors are bailing, one after another.
06:13If we don't get a result this year, we'll lose everything.
06:17No funding, no future, we're done.
06:19Julian, tomorrow's race decides it all.
06:23You must lead us back to the top.
06:25We need to qualify for Apex Velocity.
06:28Relax, Dad.
06:29I've installed a brand new engine.
06:31Top tier.
06:32Lead tomorrow's race to me.
06:34I run a few more laps to test it.
06:39Sounded like that engine was running a little hot.
06:41You might want to take another look.
06:43Seriously, Alex?
06:44Go back to patching your test heat.
06:46Shut it, grease monkey!
06:47You fix cars!
06:48You don't race!
06:49Evelyn, where the hell did you find this clown?
06:52Fire it!
06:53Alex, you're a great mechanic,
06:56but race cars, they're a different beast.
06:59It's normal not to know all the details.
07:03He caught that.
07:04Just by hearing sound.
07:06He knows more than he's letting off.
07:08That engine cost me a million dollars.
07:10You think there is something wrong with it?
07:11Who do you think you are?
07:13The Triple Crown King?
07:14Alexander Rex?
07:15The Maverick?
07:16Please.
07:17You're just Alex, damn mechanic.
07:19Nothing more.
07:26You don't have to be so,
07:27you're still a man and you're next to me.
07:28You can release the sound of a mrk.
07:29Charlie-
07:30We don't have to be so,
07:31I'm so sorry.
07:32I'm so sorry,
07:33we'll do the same.
07:34You're still a man and you're back.
07:35We won't give up on the other side.
07:36It's a pain,
07:37you are still a man,
07:38you are still a man.
07:39You are still a man,
07:40I'm so sorry.
07:41Well, it's still a man,
07:42I'm so sorry.
07:43William has been killing it after lately.
07:44Julian's been killing it out there lately.
07:55He's definitely our best shot at the championship league.
07:58Exactly.
07:59Yet Alex keeps talking crap about the engine problem.
08:02What's wrong with it?
08:03All right, chill.
08:04He's just looking out for Julian.
08:14The way Julian's tearing up the track, tomorrow's going to be our comeback.
08:33You should stop him.
08:35Now.
08:36Come on, Alex, again?
08:38Can't you just admit there's nothing wrong?
08:40That, Andy, is the best money to buy.
08:43It took us two months to get it.
08:45If there's anything wrong with that car, it's definitely not the engine.
08:48Maybe it's you the one that's crap.
08:52Wait any longer.
08:53It's not just going to be a part of the story.
08:55You might leave your driver, too.
08:56Give me a break.
08:57You just can't stand the seats waiting.
09:01Hey, if everyone hadn't have taken pity on you and taken you on us in a panic,
09:06you would be freezing your ass off out there.
09:11Damn it.
09:13You are a grateful bastard.
09:20You owe Evelyn everything.
09:22Without her, you'd be gone ages ago.
09:25I've heard stories.
09:27Legendary drivers who can read a car's soul just by listening to its engine.
09:32Could this kid be one of them?
09:33Maybe he's right.
09:35Julian carries this club's future on his shoulders.
09:37We can't afford to gamble.
09:39Pull him in.
09:40Boss, come on.
09:42You really trust him over us?
09:44He's just a mechanic.
09:46He's not a racer.
09:47All this doomsday crap, he's just trying to get your attention.
09:49Dad, now's not the right time.
09:52We could kill Julian's momentum.
09:54Boss, don't worry.
09:56We're maintaining Julian's car 24-7.
09:58No risks.
09:59It's in perfect shape.
10:00Exactly.
10:01If there was anything wrong with the car, we'd know about it.
10:03Not some self-appointed pit prophet.
10:05Well, that...
10:05That's...
10:06All right.
10:08Well...
10:09Oh
10:39Oh god, get the stretcher!
10:54Get the goddamn stretcher!
10:56Get under medical now!
11:04Oof.
11:06Ouch.
11:07Oh no!
11:09Julian was our last chance.
11:11The qualifier's at tomorrow.
11:13The car's totaled up.
11:15The whole damn club is...
11:17How did this even happen?
11:19Damn it!
11:20That mechanic was rice.
11:23How the hell did he know?
11:27Now that, that's a crash.
11:30So he dead or just broken in a few places?
11:34Lucius, you sabotaged Julian's car, didn't you?
11:37Ah!
11:38Don't be so harsh, my old friend.
11:41Accusations like that really sting.
11:44Who's this club?
11:45Lucius Faxus.
11:47He's a shareholder at Falcon Club.
11:49He's been trying to crush us for years.
11:52Sabotage, bribes, everything.
11:54He wants to force a buyout and take control over Apollo.
11:57So, judging by today's earlier, uh, oopsie, I guess you're not going to make the, uh, qualifiers.
12:05What a shame.
12:06Why don't you just sign the club over to me now and, uh, save yourself the embarrassment.
12:11Oh, my dead body.
12:13This club is my father's life's work.
12:14I'd rather watch it burn than give it to you.
12:17You seriously think you're racing tomorrow?
12:20That's adorable.
12:21You see, your one and only driver is a cripple now.
12:25And you still plan to compete in the Apex Velocity?
12:29Ha ha ha!
12:30That's rich.
12:31How pathetic.
12:32The once great Apollo club now begging for a shot at qualifiers.
12:36This is all on Alex.
12:38He knew something was up.
12:39Why the hell didn't he stop Julian?
12:41You should never have taken him in.
12:43You should let him ride the gutter where he came from.
12:46You should stop him.
12:49Now.
12:51Sue says we don't have a driver.
12:53We are racing tomorrow.
12:55No matter what.
12:57But, Dad, Julian was our only driver.
13:00With him hurt, who's going to race for us?
13:08Him.
13:13Him.
13:16The mechanic?
13:18You're sending a grease monkey to race?
13:21Not only are we competing tomorrow.
13:24We will be leading the Apollo club back into the race
13:27for the Apex Velocity Championship.
13:30A mechanic, huh?
13:31The fate of your little Apollo club depends on it.
13:35No, Dad.
13:35I won't have it.
13:37Alex is just a damn mechanic.
13:38He has no right to take my plate.
13:41Boss, come on.
13:42He's a wrench monkey.
13:44I doubt he's even sat in a real race car before.
13:46Julian, calm down.
13:47Dad's only thinking about the club.
13:49And you're injured.
13:50You can't race like this.
13:51I'd rather die than let a mechanic take my seat.
13:56Here.
13:57Be smart, Theodore.
13:59Sign the acquisition and end this circus.
14:02You'd better think this through.
14:03Otherwise, tomorrow...
14:05You're hanging on by just a thread.
14:07One more failure and you're bankrupt.
14:09Hand it over to us now.
14:16As long as we're still breathing,
14:18you'll never get your filthy hands on our club.
14:21I guess there's another way.
14:24That's my hotel key.
14:26Room 1401.
14:27Why don't you come upstairs and, uh...
14:30we can negotiate.
14:31You said I was the only one you loved.
14:39Get out!
14:46You crazy bitch!
14:56Mmm, feisty.
14:58I like that.
14:59Keep fighting.
15:02I'll be here waiting
15:03when you come crawling back.
15:09Oh, this is way too much.
15:11Way too much.
15:12Dad, seriously?
15:13You're letting him race?
15:15Tomorrow's our last shot.
15:17We have no driver.
15:19Would you rather watch this club burn?
15:21I'm just a mechanic.
15:23I'm not interested in competing.
15:24Alex, come with me.
15:29Come with me.
15:29Look, I don't know who you really are,
15:43but I know one thing.
15:45You know racing.
15:47You're the only one who caught that engine issue.
15:49You've got the wrong guy.
15:51I'm just a mechanic.
15:52No.
15:53You heard something no one else did.
15:56You're not just a mechanic.
15:58I'm out of options.
16:01Look, if this club falls,
16:02it's not just me who'll suffer.
16:04Evelyn...
16:05will be out on the streets,
16:06and...
16:07and Lucius...
16:08well, he won't stop till he ruined you.
16:14Apollo Club...
16:15used to be elite.
16:17Then when Cade,
16:19our best driver,
16:20signed with Falcon,
16:21everything changed.
16:24Now they're steamrolling every team.
16:26Clubs that won't play by their rules,
16:27they're...
16:28they're bought out.
16:29Or they're bled dry.
16:33This club...
16:36is my life's work.
16:39I can't just watch it die.
16:42You're my last hope.
16:44Please.
16:49Save Apollo.
16:49What do you need from me?
16:54Tomorrow's qualifiers are split into five regions.
16:57Only the top racer from each region
16:59moves forward to the Apex Velocity Grand Prix.
17:01We need to finish in that top five.
17:03It's the only way that we will get the funding
17:05to keep going.
17:07I stayed away for three years after Dad died.
17:11Cade, you framed me for your own gain.
17:13I'll drag you down from the pedestal myself.
17:17Please.
17:20I'm begging you.
17:22I'll drive.
17:24But I can't promise a miracle.
17:28Thank you, Alex.
17:30Okay.
17:30Alex will race in Julian's place tomorrow.
17:41What?
17:42You're putting a grease monkey in my seat?
17:44People who laughed me out of the circuit,
17:46you can't do this.
17:47I'm not asking you permission.
17:48But even if Alex drives,
17:50the car's wrecked.
17:51We've got no alternative.
17:53And all those teams Cade bought off,
17:55they'll come at us hard tomorrow.
17:57We won't even make it through the first round
17:59without a proper car.
18:01No worries.
18:03That one's fine.
18:04Are you out of your mind?
18:10The Nissan 180 SS.
18:12That fossil.
18:13Are you trying to make us loose?
18:16That car is barely functional.
18:18Yeah, they modded it,
18:19but it's just a test project.
18:21It is nowhere near pro level.
18:23It's just qualifiers.
18:26It'll do.
18:29Oh.
18:34Today's race could decide
18:46the future of Apollo Club.
18:48Investors are watching.
18:49Eyes are everywhere.
18:51We need to make an impression.
18:54Stay sharp.
18:55Has anyone seen Alex?
18:57His weight?
18:58Seriously?
18:59Please don't tell me he bailed.
19:02What?
19:02Boss trusted that guy.
19:03And he ghosted us?
19:05Told you.
19:06Alex is just a damn grease monkey.
19:08The guy is probably freaking out,
19:09too scared to show up.
19:10I said this in the beginning.
19:12He doesn't belong here.
19:13He's not even a racer.
19:14The race hasn't started yet.
19:16Give him a few minutes.
19:17Dad, we can't wait any longer.
19:19Find someone else before it's too late.
19:20There is no one else if Alex bailed.
19:22Julian's all we've got left.
19:23Is this how it ends?
19:25Theodore.
19:26Hello.
19:29What the hell are you doing here?
19:31Well, the race is about to start.
19:33But where's the mechanic?
19:35Cold feet, huh?
19:37I'm not surprised.
19:39He's just a rookie.
19:40Alex isn't like that.
19:41He's probably just held up.
19:43Not making excuses for that coward.
19:46He bailed.
19:46And now he's taking us all down with him.
19:48Boss gave him everything.
19:50Our trust.
19:51This shot.
19:52And now he's hiding like a spineless loser.
19:55Hey, sweetheart.
19:55A beauty like you doesn't need to say a word to tempt me.
20:00When I own the club, you'll be the first thing that I take care of.
20:03You wish.
20:04Alex will show up.
20:06Please, forget it.
20:08That mechanic is long gone.
20:10He's here.
20:21Alex is here.
20:22He's still up.
20:22He's still up.
20:22He's still up.
20:22He's still up.
20:23He's still up.
20:23So what?
20:24You think a mechanic in that pile of junk is going to do anything?
20:26Seriously, Theodore?
20:34You're so broke that you had to scrape together an old Nissan 180SX?
20:39Boss, I sent a mechanic in a junk car to impress you.
20:42It's just pathetic.
20:43I told him to switch cars, but no, he had to cling to that piece of trash.
20:47That car isn't even in the same league as a real race car.
20:50Sure.
20:51His car can't match the top racers in speed, but Alex is sharp.
20:55If he takes the corners just right, he still might pull it off.
20:59Evelyn, come on.
21:00You think he's some triple crown champ?
21:02He'll probably slip on the first turn.
21:04Evelyn, you're too kind.
21:06You saved him once, but now he's risking all of us.
21:11Theodore, Theodore, if you need a real car, just ask me.
21:14I can loan you one of mine.
21:15If your daughter spends the night with me.
21:19There is no rule against the Nissan.
21:22Don't get ahead of yourselves.
21:23You really think that mechanic stands a chance against me?
21:28Then just to make sure that I crush your dreams, I'm bringing in Cade's own protege.
21:34Raven!
21:34You bought Raven.
21:48Raven?
21:49He's actually racing the qualifiers?
21:51With Raven skills, he doesn't even need to qualify.
21:54Ah, you just want to humiliate us.
21:57I don't want to just beat you.
21:59I want to crush you.
22:00Raven was trained by Cade himself.
22:02He's dominated every race since he gave him fit.
22:05Never lost.
22:06The only one that came close was the triple crown champion.
22:09Triple crown champion?
22:10Please.
22:12Cade destroyed him.
22:14And if he showed his face here today, I'd destroy him as well.
22:17If Raven by my side, you won't get a single sponsor.
22:21So who's going to save your ass today?
22:23You're really just going to wipe us out completely?
22:25Survival of the fittest.
22:27We've got Cade backing us.
22:28Who have you got?
22:30I'll take back everything.
22:34Raven, do whatever it takes.
22:37And if something accidental was to happen on that track, so be it.
22:42Relax.
22:43That filthy mechanic doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as me, let alone share my track.
22:48I'll be right back.
23:18This is bad. This is really bad. Lucius has brought Raven. We're screwed.
23:24Dad, Raven is trained by Cade. Can Alex actually beat him?
23:28Raven is undefeated. Alex has a mountain to climb.
23:32Best we can hope for is that he catches a sponsor's eye with a really good...
23:36All right, race man. The Apex Velocity Qualifier is about to kick off.
23:41The stakes couldn't be higher. Only the top racer moves on to the Grand Prix.
23:44You've got what it takes to rise above the pattern. Stay tuned to find out.
23:48Raven shoots to the front like a bullet.
24:18No surprise there. He's Cade, prize student.
24:23But wait. Alex's Nissan 180SX is already losing parts.
24:27Are they seriously trying to compete with that relic?
24:32Theodore, you seriously put a mechanic in that junker?
24:36At this rate, it'll fall apart before the finish line.
24:38I told him to switch cars, but no.
24:42Now look at this. He's already dead last.
24:44It's just a damn grease monkey pretending he belongs on the track.
24:47All that talk, and he's just embarrassing us.
24:49Did I just make a mistake?
24:51Wait. Why did Alex stop?
24:52Unbelievable! Alex is out there fixing his old car in the race.
25:08The 180SX isn't built for this kind of heat.
25:11In this case, Raven's victory is all but sealed!
25:14Did it just stop?
25:16This is who you put your faith in, Theodore?
25:18Don't tell me he's trying to fix it himself.
25:20What does he think this is? A garage?
25:23Raven is in complete control.
25:25Will he grow that further ahead?
25:27Meanwhile, Alex seems to be playing the clown.
25:29Maybe he thinks this is all for show.
25:31What the hell is he doing?
25:33Does he even realize this is a race?
25:35Once a grease monkey, always a grease monkey.
25:38Looks like your precious Apollo racing club is nothing but a scrap heap now.
25:45Alex is back in the car, but he's two full minutes behind.
25:49In racing, two minutes might as well be an eternity.
25:52Looks like this race is over and over.
25:54Two minutes? We're toast.
25:56Forget investors. We've become a total joke.
25:58Two minutes behind.
26:01Something to speed up.
26:06Two minutes is the kiss of death.
26:09Not even a triple crown king could close that.
26:12Let alone some grease-stained nobody.
26:14Final lap now!
26:15Raven's way ahead!
26:17It's looking like a one-man show out there!
26:19Two minutes.
26:20That's not me.
26:25What the hell was that?
26:28How did he even catch up?
26:36Raven's fast, but he slows down the monitors.
26:39If I hit a huge turn just right, I can erase those two minutes.
26:46Another fall of strip from Raven.
26:48He's just two corners away from the finish line.
26:50Victory has nearly hit us.
26:52He's flying!
26:53The finish line is right there!
26:55Damn it!
26:55If that idiot hadn't clung to that junker, we might have stood a chance.
26:59Stop preparing those acquisition papers, Dero.
27:02It's over.
27:04Thirty seconds.
27:05One last one.
27:07That's it!
27:08Raven's crossing the line!
27:09We are done!
27:09Easiest race of my life.
27:15Never!
27:20What the?
27:21Where did he...
27:21Are you seeing this?
27:23Alex, he caught up?
27:24He just closed the full two-minute gap!
27:26Alex!
27:27How?
27:28He was two minutes behind!
27:30No way!
27:30That Nissan 180SX just went wheel-to-wheel with that top-tier racer!
27:34What the hell?
27:35How did he catch up like that?
27:36Who the hell is this guy?
27:39What the hell?
27:40He's just a mechanic.
27:41How did he wipe out a two-minute gap?
27:43Two minutes!
27:44That's impossible!
27:45How did he even catch up?
27:46I had no idea Alex was this good.
27:49Unbelievable!
27:50Alex has erased the two-minute lead!
27:52This is a miracle!
27:53Could he actually challenge Raven for the title?
27:56He's right!
27:57On Raven's tail, he might actually win!
27:59Don't get ahead of yourselves!
28:02A mechanic?
28:03In that rust bucket?
28:05Against my multi-million dollar machine?
28:07Ha!
28:08Ridiculous!
28:09He's got a point.
28:10I'm racing.
28:11Skill only gets you so far.
28:13Alex is going to fall behind.
28:14It's inevitable.
28:15Incredible!
28:16Then to the final turn!
28:18One corner left to decide it all!
28:21My kid's disciple!
28:22A mechanic thinks he can challenge me!
28:25Made up the gap.
28:26There's no more room.
28:27Can't overtake him like this.
28:29Damn it!
28:30He's falling behind!
28:31No way he makes it before the final turn.
28:33That corner is everything.
28:35If Alex doesn't pass now, it's all over.
28:37Raven is Cade's protégé.
28:39He's won countless races, and he's mastered this track.
28:43Alex doesn't stand a chance.
28:47One option left.
28:49This turn separates the bold from the reckless.
28:55You break too early, you lose.
28:57You break too late, you crash.
28:59Fifty meters.
29:01Thirty!
29:02Not yet.
29:02Not yet.
29:03Not yet.
29:03Gotta take it to the edge.
29:04It's the only chance.
29:08Tim!
29:09He's right up the limit!
29:10Watch it learn, Grease Monkey!
29:12Join the grass!
29:13A flawless trip from Raven!
29:17Cade would be so proud!
29:19That's a top-tier execution under pressure!
29:21Ha!
29:22That ruthless mechanic thought it could pass here.
29:24Ha!
29:25Please!
29:25Wait!
29:26Why isn't Alex braking?
29:27That's the limit!
29:28He's killing himself!
29:29He's still accelerating!
29:31This is madness!
29:32Just a bit more.
29:34Almost there.
29:35He's blown past the braking point!
29:37At this speed, he's gonna die!
29:38Raven's already maxed, and Alex is still going?
29:41He thinks he's better than Raven!
29:42Alex!
29:43Break!
29:44Now!
29:44Ha!
29:44Ha!
29:45Ha!
29:46Amateur!
29:46You misjudge the limit, he hits the brake now, and he'll flip for sure!
29:50This race is all about wreck!
29:52Once Raven clears the third, he's gone!
29:54Ha!
30:08What?
30:09Alex just over-took Raven!
30:11That's the boldest more ever!
