Attention, racers.

Racers, attention, please.

Second qualifying round.

Take it out.

Hey, Bob, take it out.

Thanks.

I can't believe you walked away from all
of it.

I never made it here.

Never got past midget cars and short
tracks.

But you could have if you stuck with it.

It was just all that excitement, big
money, women, parties. It just wasn't

me, Jeff.

Steve. Hey, Eddie.

Not like the old days, huh? No, not at
all like the old days. Hey, Steve.

Dad said you'd be here today.

Alan? My God, I haven't seen you
since... The old Athena 300.

I nearly wet my pants when you won that
race. Well, you're what, seven years

old? Yeah, I've never forgotten it.
Alan, Eddie, this is Jesse Travis. He

at Community General with Dad. Doc.

Dan, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
I'm looking forward to seeing you race.

Well, actually... Actually, Alan here is
just our show driver.

He's not much on the track, but he's
hell on supermarket openings.

This is Matt Thomas, our lead driver.

Yeah, I just do publicity stuff.

Yeah, Alan here reps us at all our car
shows, flea markets.

But maybe someday he'll get a shot at
racing.

Maybe.

Hey, are we going to qualify today or
just yak?

Why don't you take Steve and Jesse up to
the owner's box? Yeah.

You anything like that guy when you
race?

Only when I want.

So I was a sweetheart most of the time.

Next car to qualify, car 51, driven by
Tom Thomas. Let's go for it. Racing out

of Torrance, California.

the other cars.

This is qualifying, Jess. Right now,
it's just Thomas against the clock.

It's your important. They don't do well
this morning. They don't have a chance

on Sunday.

Drop the hammer on it straight away,
Thomas. I want that pole position.

Take it easy, Eddie. You'll get it.

He's losing the turns. The brakes are
fading.

Barely holding on.

Hitting the wall is a distinct
possibility.

Damn, I lost my engine.

Oh, she's wild.

Thomas, talk to me. Come in, Thomas.

It's another reason I quit racing.

Dr. Travis says there's no bone injury,
just a little soft tissue damage.

Your driver's going to be fine.

But that is rotten luck about your
engine.

According to Eddie, they've had a lot of
rotten luck lately.

Tires, trannies, you name it, it's let
us down.

We're just going to break for a change.
Eddie, I came as soon as I heard. How's

Matt? Don't worry, Miss Egan, he's going
to be fine.

You know Marianne?

I treated her husband a couple of years
ago.

Thrombofibitis, wasn't it?

Speaking of treatment, could I get an
aspirin?

This is your lucky day. We've got a sale
on Aspen. Right this way.

You know, Paul, he can... And he can get
racing. I didn't make the connection.

Paul loved the team, so I kept it on as
a kind of memorial.

However, if I'd known what I was getting
myself into... Oh, I can imagine.

You know, the happiest day of my life is
when Steve said he gave up racing, but

don't tell him I said that.

Marianne, don't worry.

Your driver's very capable of hands,
really.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Where the hell did you get your license?

One of those Caribbean diploma
factories?

Sorry.

Uh, you know, there are no breaks, no
muscle damage. I'd say your initial

diagnosis of a mild sprain was right on
target, Dr. Travis. Thanks.

What are you, a bone specialist?

I'm a pathologist.

What, like a coroner?

Wow, what a shame.

Such a pretty lady spending all her time
with dead people.

How about a live one tonight?

I have a live one, thank you. Well, I'll
say, two years old and more energy than

a... Why don't you get a babysitter?

Come down to the race on Sunday as my
guest.

We can discuss energy.

I can't drive Sunday.

Yes, you can, if you're very careful.

Glad you're all right, Matt.

Tell me something, Eddie.

What's that number one rule of yours?

And you don't say a word.

Well, come on, Eddie, it's your rule.

The driver can't do it if the team
doesn't do it first.

What the hell did your team do with that
engine? It wouldn't have blown if you

hadn't over -revved it.

Oh, right, right. The engine's my fault.

Just like every blown tire and busted
brake line's my fault.

My crew chief here is just an innocent
bystander. You do not know what you're

talking about. You do not have to take
this. Let's get out of here.

Hey, I am not the one wrecking this
team.

That's your new crew chief's job.

You accusing Eddie of sabotaging your
car?

Well, if he didn't, somebody did. That
engine did not blow on its own. You're

imagining things.

We're just having some bad luck.

Come on, Mrs. Egan. Every time I get in
the car, somebody's trying to bury me.

All right, just look at their stats. The
Egan team's average start is six. The

average finish, third. Overall points,
first.

I mean, Fireball Roberts would die for
these numbers.

Fireball Roberts is dead.

Yeah, I meant if he was alive.

Jesse, I had no idea you were such a big
racing fan.

Well, I wasn't until yesterday. And I
spent all last night surfing the net.

This is really good.

You know, the amazing thing is that Egan
has done this with a team made up of

people that nobody else wanted. People
like Matt Thomas.

Well, it's no wonder his career stats
are even worse than his personality. And

the man hasn't had a winning season in
years until now.

You know, I doubt Thomas would be having
such a good season if he didn't have

Eddie on his crew.

That's right. It's Eddie Wallace's first
season as crew chief, and so far he's

done a phenomenal job.

According to Matt Thomas, not lately at
least, sabotage is the way he described

it.

You know, I haven't been to the races
since Steve retired.

Might be kind of fun to see one without
having to chew my nails through the

whole thing.

Well, maybe you guys should see it in
style from the owner's booth.

You don't want to come?

No, I have a date with my own fireball,
and he has his heart set on the zoo.

By the way, Dad, what did you say this
was?

I call this Espanol Frittata.

You like it?

Tastes better than it smells.

Welcome, race fans, to the 21st running
of the Cal...

are racing today for 900 series points
and a record purse of over $3 million.

Today's field is the fastest ever in
Smith's history for the pole position

average speed of 192 .64 miles an hour.
Less than 10 miles an hour separates our

entire field of 40 drivers.

So it's looking like it'll be a great
race.

Come on over to the garage. I'll find a
photo for you and see if we can't

introduce you to Jeff Gordon.

Catch up with you later.

I told you I'd be the right one.

That's right.

Just put it down.

Some vehicle.

Yeah, for $170 ,000, you can have one
just like it. I thought they were stock

cars. There's nothing stock about them.
Custom -built from the ground up.

Tell Alonzo I'm personally good for it.
Okay. Thanks. No problem.

Tough day, Eddie?

Nah, not really.

Our tire supplier suddenly decides he
wants cash payments.

Lloyd, our engine guy, has disappeared
on a parts run, and I don't... George!

Whoa! Where you going?

You're a backup driver, remember?

Even if Thomas doesn't show, it's too
late for me to substitute.

I'm going to find some place with air
conditioning and cold beer.

George.

Is Thomas missing?

Nah, he just likes to make a dramatic
entrance.

Copy that, Alan.

Now you stay put till I say different.

At least Alan's where he's supposed to
be. He's up in the stand spotting for us

today. Eddie?

Not an investment tour, not now.

Eddie, this is Monsieur Lambert and
Monsieur Dupre. And they're very

in getting involved with the team. So,
if you could just give us a minute or

two. Yeah, I got all the time in the
world.

Bonjour.

Bonjour.

He said he liked the racing very much.
He would like very much to be sponsored.

Friends.

Don't worry, gentlemen.

He hasn't missed a race yet.

You know, it's pretty exciting being up
here.

I don't know how I managed to talk you
into giving it up.

As I recall, it only took about a year,
with you on one side and Eddie on the

other. Well, the few times in your life
you ever listened to me, and I'm not so

sure I was right.

Oh, you were right.

Hey, guys.

Who wants a hat?

Look at that.

Hey. Did you meet Jeff Gordon or rob
him? Oh, I met him.

And I met Dale Earnhardt and Ricky Rudd,
Terry Labonte.

Really nice guys. Seems like they like
you, too.

Oh, yeah.

David gave me an official Team Egan
racing watch.

It's got a little checkered flag with
flashes. See?

There he is.

Cut to the chase and say what you've all
come to hear.

Gentlemen.

She's losing the turns. The brakes are
beating.

Come on into the pit. We'll slap on a
hot set of four.

Are

they

changing tires already?

Tires went right to the death.

At $1 ,500 a set and 10 sets a race,
they better.

$1 ,500?

Oh, yeah. That must be some special
tire.

They even have their own heated roof.

Yeah, it makes the rubber more flexible
for a faster drive, right?

Get the words out of my mouth.

Change them all out.

Check the lunch.

Now.

We're losing time here, Guy.

It's better than losing a tire 200 miles
an hour.

Heads up in the booth.

Alan just checked in from the stands.
Thomas just took the lead. He's got it.

This race is a lot.

You have to ignore the fact that he's
still got 100 laps to go.

Well, 99, really.

He's got a crash in turn three.

51. You get caught up in that. Take it
easy, Eddie.

It's okay.

Thank God.

The yellow flag is out. Damon Lane's
landing. in the wall and turn three.

Track's just about clear, and the green
flag is coming out.

Countback 500, back on your way.

With only three minutes to go, the game
continues to lead.

Car 11, driven by the greens, only three
seconds left in second place.

Matt Thomas passing it into second
place.

Matt Thomas, car 51, continuing his
incredible run.

I just got the word.

That Thomas is dead.

Looks like a cerebral hemorrhage due to
a blow to the temple.

How?

This helmet isn't damaged. It's not even
scratched.

How did he manage to get out of his car
and walk around with a cerebral

hemorrhage? Well, I've seen people with
worse injuries do a lot more. Strange

things happen in accidents.

If it was an accident.

Remember those lug nuts the crew changed
during the race? I went down to the

pits and had a look.

Let me see it.

Well, I'm no expert. That doesn't look
like normal wear and tear to me.

I have a feeling forensics will agree
with you.

Maybe Thomas wasn't imagining things
when he started yelling sabotage.

But he changed those lug nuts during the
middle of the race. It couldn't have

caused the accident.

Well... The one who did the lug nuts may
not have stopped right there. You know,

I remember that Thomas did radio that
his brakes were going out right before

crash. Bad brakes on a race car?

That doesn't sound like an everyday
occurrence.

Unless you drive for the Egan team.

This is definitely beginning to look
like a homicide investigation.

No one had anything to gain by hurting
Matt Thomas.

He's the one that made this season
happen for us. Yeah, right.

Is that what you think, Lloyd?

Thinking is not a crime.

Murder is.

Hey, I get nothing out of this.

Not like Halsey.

He's got a shot of being lead driver now
that Thomas is gone.

Yeah, Lloyd, you get nothing.

Except payback.

Won't you tell the detective how Thomas
had you busted from crew chief to grease

monk? Yeah, that turned out real good
for the team, didn't it? Yeah, what's

book to me, huh? This car ran a hell of
a lot better when I was chief. Yeah, if

you count last, it's better. Why don't
you get out of my face?

All right, that's it. This conversation
is over.

I'm impounding this car pending further
investigation.

And the first one that objects will also
be impounded.

Straight into county jail.

Forensics confirmed our suspicions.
Someone definitely tampered with the lug

nuts. Someone very determined.

Yeah, well, that didn't work. They went
after the brakes.

Forensics also says that the brakes
checked out fine, along with everything

on the car.

Well, then why did Thomas say the brakes
went out? Why did the car crash anyway?

Very good questions, but I am fresh out
of answers.

Any suggestions?

How about taking another look at the
crash?

I mean, the team keeps a video record of
everything for post -race analysis.

Jesse, that's a very good idea.

I'll get a court order.

What time you got?

One ten, boy. Damn, stuck at noon.

Supposed to be Mrs. Matthews' bedside
every hour. She sends out search

I know that look. Something's bothering
you.

During that race, there was one very
serious accident. The man walked away

minor injuries.

And Matt Thomas was in a much less
severe accident and died.

That bother you? Uh -huh. That bothers
me. I think I'll move up Thomas'

Good.

You want our race tapes?

They're yours, Steve.

I appreciate your cooperation.

The irony is that yesterday was probably
the best driving Thomas had done all

season.

Maybe ever.

Which is a roundabout way of saying that
I hope we get these back.

I'd like to give them to his family.

I'll see to it personally.

Marianne Egan.

Yes, Senora Miriam.

Yes.

It is a tragedy.

We're still a number one team.

With an excellent backup car and a
tremendous driver.

Oh, we'll be racing next week.

Gracias.

That is one nervous venture capitalist.

He should be.

We'll never be ready by Sunday.

Not with that cop looking to cause us
grief.

Don't listen to him, Mrs. Egan. Steve's
a fair guy.

He'll treat us right. I'm sure he will.

In any case, it's in the team's best
interest to clear this up as quickly as

possible. There's nothing to clear up.

Matt Thomas was a loser.

Reality finally caught up with him. I
don't see what the big deal is. The big

deal is making sure that Thomas' final
reality didn't have any help.

Steve?

How far are you going to go with this
thing?

I mean, why waste time on an
investigation that's gone nowhere?

I'm just doing my job, and my team is
trying to do theirs.

But you keep poking around, getting in
everybody's way, they're going to fall

apart. We'll lose our sponsors.

Matt Thomas lost a lot more than a
sponsor, Eddie.

It's an accident.

The man shut it out. It happens.

You've raced. You know that.

So no one sabotaged his car. Nobody
wanted him out of the way.

Look, Steve.

I've crewed on every podunk team between
here and Talladega.

It's taken me 20 years to make crew
chief on a top -rated outfit.

Don't screw this up for me.

Please.

It's a police matter now, Eddie.

I'm sorry.

Here's your autopsy report, Dr. Sloan.

As requested.

Amazing how that got done right at
dinner time. We knew it was Turkish

It is.

Bon appetit.

Anything interesting in this report?

Well, as I suspected, the cause of death
was from a cerebral hemorrhage.

This is different.

What is it?

It's a baked mackerel with pine nuts and
currants and a nice herb stuffing.

Anyway, about that autopsy report.

Well, given the time of death and the
condition of the body, the liver

temperature was a lot lower than I would
have expected.

76 .3 degrees.

You're right, that's low.

And that's a mystery?

Not really. The liver never lies.

And what is the liver saying?

That Matt Thomas didn't die when we
think he did.

He was killed at least three hours
before that race.

Dolly Parton and Bob Hoskins, tonight on
CBS.

Okay, what do you see?

Matt Thomas had a sprained arm. There's
no way he could have climbed into the

car like that. Okay, so now we know for
sure an imposter did the driving, but

how do we know that he made the switch
with Thomas' body and why?

Well, I guess we know the answer to the
why part, and that's to cover up a

murder. And as for the how, he could
have planted the body in the infield

the race.

Right, and then slipped away in all that
smoke and confusion after the wreck.

Yeah, but he still had to fool Eddie and
the entire pit crew.

The guy was wearing a helmet and a
driving suit. I mean, there's no way

could have gotten a clear look at him.
And he didn't show up at the pit till

last minute, so nobody had a chance to
talk to him either.

We did hear his voice come over the
radio, but it could have been somebody

sounded like Thomas. Well, I've got kind
of a theory about that, but right now

I'm more concerned about what caused his
death.

Oh, you made a notation in there.

Amanda, about, um... Let me see.

Yeah, here it is.

About the body cavity having an abnormal
amount of blood. Yes, it's a strong

indication that for some reason the
man's blood wasn't clotting properly.

Well, could Thomas have had hemophilia?

Well, that's not likely. The whole team
had to take an annual physical.

Then the internal bleeding may be the
result of something artificial.

Hey, maybe you should, uh... Order a
complete toxicology panel. I already

and we should have the results soon.

Right at dinner time, no doubt. Hey,
that's right. It's Nepalese night

huh?

One of these days I'm going to talk Dad
into trying something truly radical,

like burgers and fries.

Anything show up in the infield?

Besides bottle caps and dust, just this.

An official Egan racing watch with no
usable prints.

Well, according to my inventory, Thomas
was wearing his watch.

Well, the killer could have left it at
the scene of the crime.

Or anyone who has one. I mean, there's
hundreds of these around the track.

Well, at least it'll give me an excuse
to go back out there and ask some more

questions. And there are a lot of
questions to ask.

Like who took Thomas' place?

Whoever it was, he drove one heck of a
race.

You know, that's the only thing that
bothers me. Why would anybody that good

involved in this?

How about someone who really had
something to gain?

Like the team's backup driver.

Halsey?

Ridiculous.

I've watched both him and Thomas race
for years, and believe me, that was not

George Halsey out there.

What about Thomas?

When was the last time you actually saw
him?

The night before the race. We discussed
strategy after dinner.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got an
appointment.

I just had one more question.

I'm sorry.

I'll replace it, but I can't refund your
money.

I just wanted to know if you'd seen it
before.

Detective, I've handed out dozens of
those to the crew, our sponsors, racing

officials.

Even my Uncle Harry.

And when I get around to it, I'm going
to sue the manufacturer.

They're absolute junk.

Real sorry about that, Officer.

Guess I'm a little rusty.

Too rusty to have won yesterday's race?

What's that supposed to mean?

Depends where you were during the race.

I don't have time for this.

Make time, Halsey.

I'm investigating a possible homicide.

You really think Thomas was murdered?

Look, I don't want this to get around,
but I was meeting with Leon Sanford.

Sanford shocks?

Leon's starting a new team. He wants me
on as lead driver.

I'll be sure to talk to Leon about that.

You do that.

While you're at it, you ought to check
out Alan Wallace.

How does Alan fit into this?

If the kid knew I was leaving the team,
then the only thing that stood between

him and his chance to race was Matt
Thomas.

Your dad's completely wrong about this.
That was Matt Thomas out there. The man

drove that car, spun out and died. End
of story.

And you were in the stands watching.

Anyone see you? He was up there. Hell, I
was talking to him the whole time.

Well, we only got your word for that.

Yeah, just like we only got your word
you were on a parts run to Oxnard.

What's that supposed to mean? Lloyd,
Eddie, that's enough.

You were a hell of a driver once, Lloyd.

You got your own reason to see Matt
Thomas done in out there. Matt Thomas

stupid.

Not so stupid he couldn't see what a
lousy crew chief you were.

Smart mouth punk.

Back off.

You too.

Nice work, Steve.

You got us all in each other's throats.

Thanks.

Sounds like Thomas just before he
crashed.

It is Thomas, but that is not from the
race.

We edited this from the tapes of the
qualifying lap that you and I saw.

Listen to the original.

The brakes!

The brakes are fading!

Apparently holding on!

Hitting the wall!

It's a distinct possibility!

Damn, I lost my engine!

Oh, she's wild!

So if the killer did the same thing
before the race... He could have

the edited phrases from the car.

And fooled everyone into thinking they
were hearing Thomas.

What about the team wash? Did you get
any leads from it?

Not directly, but I've identified the
three most likely suspects.

Lloyd Nichols, George Halsey, and Alan
Wallace.

Well, whoever our killer is, this guy is
a real miracle worker.

Look what he's managed to do so far. He
edited the audio tapes and he hid the

body in the infield.

And he drove in Thomas' place, won the
race, staged an accident, switched

places. All to cover up the fact that he
had killed Thomas hours earlier.

And let's not forget that somehow during
all this, our killer managed to keep

the body, outwardly at least.

Warm. Well, his fire suit would have
provided some heat retention.

But not enough to make a difference
after several hours.

That's right.

That's how they did it.

Come on in the pit. Slap on a hot set of
four.

Boy, they keep it warm in here.

It's like an incubator.

They don't keep it clean.

Dad was right. Look.

What do you want to bet that's Matt
Thomas' blood?

What are you doing here?

Investigating a murder.

What about you?

I work here. I came in to clean up.

Well, it's a good thing because it looks
like you've got a real mess on your

hands.

So how does it work, Alan?

You bash us over the head and then hope
it all goes away?

Listen to him, son.

It's over.

Sorry.

Thomas knew my boy wanted to race.

He thought he was after his job.

That night we got into it in the garage.

He took a swing at me.

You were trying to protect yourself.

I only hit him once.

He went down.

And then Eddie cooked up this plan to
cover it up.

I thought if the truth came out, no
sponsor would ever want Alan to race for

them. Even if it was self -defense?

With sponsors, it's all about image.

I really thought we could pull him off.

We figured out how to fake the radio
calls, crash, everything.

Everything except biology.

It was Thomas' internal temperature that
tripped you up.

Hell, I thought it was my watch.

Must have dropped it out there when we
took the body out to the infield.

Cheap piece of crap.

Sloan. Mark, I just got the toxicology
report back.

Uh -huh.

Oh, good work.

Amanda, thank you.

Dad?

Yeah.

What Eddie and Alan say is true, except
for one thing.

Alan is not responsible for Thomas'
death.

But I hit him.

You didn't kill him.

The only thing you two are guilty of is
covering it up and framing yourselves

for murder.

The real killer's still out there.

The toxicology report has lots of
surprises. Full anticoagulation

a prothrombin time of 40 seconds,
activity less than 10 % INR of over 10.

And in English, that would mean?

Thomas ingested a large dose of
warfarin, a blood thinner.

It's a standard treatment for probitis,
which Matt Thomas did not have.

How dangerous is this stuff?

Let's just say he was a walking dead
man. Even a relatively minor trauma

lead to fatal internal bleeding.

After administering the warfare, about
all the killer had to do was arrange

kind of an accident during the race. And
it would look like the crash kill.

Well, that explains the sabotage lug
nuts.

Except the murderer wasn't anticipating
that Thomas was going to get in a fight

with Allen before the race began.

Now, all we've got to do is figure out
who had the motive, who had the

opportunity, and who had the knowledge
to sabotage that car and poison Thomas.

Torque, 611.

Oil pressure, 70 pounds.

I have.

if you could prove you were in Oxnard on
Sunday. Hell yeah.

RPM's 8 ,000.

Reset 8 ,500.

Then do it. Now.

Gas. Hotel.

Dinner. Breakfast.

All with a date and time stamp.

Team rule.

You gotta do that or you won't get
reimbursed.

Two engines in one week. Are you trying
to ruin me?

This got nothing to do with me or my
work, Miss Zegan.

Feel that grit?

Somebody spiked her with metal filings.

Tore her heart out.

Who else had access to this engine?

Who didn't?

There's one thing consistent about this
case.

Anybody who had a motive to go after
Thomas turns out to have an airtight

You know, that could mean that Thomas
was not the target.

You mean the killer was after someone
else?

Or something else, a whole team.

That would explain the sabotage
continuing like that.

But that doesn't make any sense. The
team was about to go bankrupt.

And why kill Thomas?

You think the competition wanted to get
rid of him that badly? I don't know the

answer to any of those questions.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

You want it well done? I'll put it back
on the grill. Oh, nice.

Just lacks something.

Personality.

Exactly. How about some mango chutney?
Hey, maybe some pineapple rings and a

little salsa.

Fresh ground ginger, please. That would
be tasty.

You know, do you have any of that
teriyaki sauce? Guys, it's a hamburger.

Grease gives it flavor.

You know what bothers me the most about
it?

Whoever poisoned Thomas had to know that
he would only be vulnerable for a very

limited period of time.

You've lost me again.

Well, within a 12 -hour period, Thomas's
body would have metabolized the

warfarin in its system.

He was at risk only if he suffered
trauma during that time.

Yeah, otherwise the worst he'd have is a
nosebleed. Well, that tells us one

thing. The killer had a fairly
sophisticated knowledge of medicine.

That's exactly right.

Of course.

Very likely only one person could have
killed Thomas.

Of course, now we've got to figure out
the why.

Come on, Lloyd, we're doing okay. All
right, hold on now, hold on.

We didn't last Sunday makes no
difference.

Still got no crew chief, got no drivers.

Hell, we don't even have an engine for
the damn car.

I say we all try to sign on with a new
team while we still can.

No, you quit now. Our season's over.

Our season ended when that last engine
blew.

I thought you two were supposed to be in
jail. Steve's straightening things out

with the DA.

It's called justifiable homicide.

It's self -defense.

That's not all Steve did.

He got a friend of his down at Glendon
Motors to front us a new engine.

We're back in business.

Steve, I don't know how to thank you.
Hold on now.

We still don't have a driver.

We got Alan.

After last Sunday's race, I'd say he's a
proven commodity.

He certainly is.

Alan, you've got the job.

Welcome to the team, Alan.

700.

RPM, 8 ,000. This may be dynamite.

If you'll excuse me, I have an
appointment with some new sponsors.

Marianne, you don't want to leave right
now. This is fascinating.

We shouldn't get so close, Mark.

Oh, I'm sure it's safe. It's safe, isn't
it, Lloyd?

9 ,000.

9 ,500.

Isn't that something? You know, the
average car can maintain safely 5 ,000

These precision racing engines can go 11
,000, even 12 ,000. Isn't that right?

You got it. I know, Mark. I own the
team.

10 ,000.

10 ,500.

Overreacted. Well, not if you were
expecting the engine to blow up and

and rods go flying all over. Which isn't
surprising since you sabotaged the

engine yourself.

Sabotage which Eddie detected and
repaired this morning early before

to the track.

It was you who was trying to wreck us.

Your own team.

Unfortunately, you didn't stop there.

You murdered Matt Thomas.

I don't have to listen to this.

say i killed matt thomas it could have
been anyone well not just any would have

known about warfarin and its side
effects which because of your husband's

illness you did my husband died of a
blood clot doctor matt thomas died in a

fist fight no matt died of an overdose
of warfarin it's a blood thinner used to

treat thrombophlebitis the very disease
that caused your husband to have a fatal

blood clot that's how you knew about the
warfarin you poisoned matt By making

his blood so thin that even the
slightest little injury would have

And to make sure he was injured, you
sabotaged his car.

Oh, right.

That's how we owners get ahead. We
sabotage our cars and kill our drivers.

Your getting ahead is exactly what
killed Matt.

I had Steve check your finances.

That's an invasion of privacy.

That's a murder investigation.

And I found out, except for the team,
your cash flow is all negative.

You were covering your losses with money
you raised for Egan Racing.

Only you got greedy.

You, uh, oversold your shares in the
team to every investor you could round

Okay. I needed money.

A lot of it.

I couldn't afford to write this team off
as a hobby, but I... What you couldn't

afford was to have a winning season.

Your investors would have expected a
return on their money.

You know, it's really ironic that Matt
Thomas died because he was having the

best season of his career.

Burned out loser.

Who would have thought that he would
just keep winning and winning?

He was destroying me.

We owe you guys.

If there's ever anything we can do.

Well, now that you mention it.

There is one thing.

He's going really fast.

Relax. He's sliding into those turns
like a pro.

All right, we're all impressed, 51. Now
drop the hammer and arrow to the strap.

So how'd

it

go, Dad?

You know, for years I've wondered what
you saw in car racing. Now, I'm more

mystified than ever.

You know something? There is no padding
in that seat at all.

I think a couple of my fillings vibrated
loose.

Come on, I'll buy you an ice cream.
Okay.

So when are you going to head back out
on the track? As soon as we eat the ice

cream.
