VOICEOVER (Sofie): "It's happening again isn't it?"
IMAGE: Samson from behind, trucks lined up, ready to go. New truck (pickup) pulls in, figures in back with "girly" umbrellas suggest new women folk.

VOICEOVER (Management): Find Scudder and bring him to me."
IMAGE: Ben's face in shadows, walking slowly towards camera. (Most likely approaching Management).
IMAGE: Smoldering Tarot cards on floor, surrounded by debris. (bus fire aftermath?)
IMAGE: Shot from behind of an old, filthy woman with long scraggly gray hair, embroidering someone's face on a piece of cloth. Man's hand touches her shoulder, she violently grabs it.
TITLE CARD: A RACE
VOICEOVER (Sofie): "What did you do?"
IMAGE: In a large tent, with seemingly disinterested onlookers in background, Ben, in an obvious fit of rage, stabs at something at eye level, just off camera, with a knife.
IMAGE: Closeup of sleeping Brother Justin, in chair, wakes up startled.
IMAGE: Someone's arms/hands, loading a clip into a pistol. Photo in background might be Rita Sue.
VOICEOVER: (Ben yelling) "Why didn't you tell me?!"
IMAGE: Someone kicking a bound and gagged naked man into a grave.
IMAGE: A couple of impossible-to-identify men brawl in a tent, flatten a table. Onlookers rush to break it up.
IMAGE: Sofie, looking a bit like Carrie (without the blood), stands in the corner of a room and stares at a deck of Tarot cards as they fly off table like mom used to do. Closeup of Sofie, looking startled.
VOICEOVER (Management): "You can't run from this!"
IMAGE: A woman's bare legs, feathery "fans" slide up them, a la Sally Rand.
IMAGE: What appears to be Ben, kissing the neck of a new/unknown girl. At first I thought it was Sofie, but I'm pretty sure it's not.
IMAGE: Someone's arms/hands, sliding a blood-soaked rag across the floor, making what appears to be a pentagram from the blood. Candles strategically placed around.
IMAGE: Brother Justin, black-eyes mode, holding some guy by the collar down to the ground, "Tell me who!!!!" Man (who looks suspiciously like the Russian doctor from the medical tent vision) says, "Scudder."
IMAGE: Blurry silhouette of a man in front of a plain gray background, hacking something with a meat cleaver or large hammer.
IMAGE: Another blurry figure comes into focus and is revealed to be Scudder in full geek outfit (tophat, tux).
IMAGE: Waist-up shot of Tattood Man facing camera (face obscured by hair) in front of a bizarre orange landscape. Right hand is raised, palm facing us. Takes left hand, and uses a long sharp fingernail to slice a cut into the palm of right hand.
IMAGE: Ben yelling at someone off camera (Management I presume): "I can't stop that, I'm just one man!" Camera shaking violently.
IMAGE: Silhouettes of what appears to be Sofie and an unknown man, in the back seat of a car. About to start, or just finished, a long hot kiss. Actually, now that think about it, the other person could just as well be a woman (Libby?).
IMAGE: Libby, doing the feather fan thing (it was her legs from before).
IMAGE: The one and only Clayton Jones, standing in a violent thunderstorm, lip bloody, peers into an open car window and looks a bit deranged (does he see Sofie and her boy toy from the earlier shot?)
IMAGE: Looking up at Brother Justin, in his full fire-and-brimstone mode, apparently in a large tent. Arms outstretched at first, then clenches his jaws and bares his teeth, lowers his arms in front of himself and does his best Hanz and Franz "pump you up" impersonation. An unseen crowd cheers. Bright light flashes during all this.
IMAGE:Ben stands in a desert, an elevated platform is in the distance. Trinity. Platform explodes in blinding light. Ben is engulfed in shockwave. This is obviously a vision.
IMAGE: Another man stands further away from blast, mushroom cloud rises.
VOICEOVER (Management): "The End Times are upon us."
