Episode
Notes
Written
by J. Cole Weston In
depth: Max is bored guarding Dr. Laurence and his scientists
while the conduct field tests and the rest of the Zone Riders
provide protection. Suddenly targets are incoming and the
Zone Riders head into battle with the Black Widows who emerge
from the Zone. They try to draw them away from Laurence's
group. Razorback's tank is damaged and runs into a truck.
Razorback ambushes Courage but is no match for him. They tie
him onto Rimfire and head to Black Hills Maximum Security
Prison. Tank again references his loss of his son Joseph who
is in the Zone, wishing Razorback were locked up forever. Arriving
at the prison, Razorback is placed into custody. A prisoner
named Skunk recognizes Al Krak (Razorback). M.C.C. suspects
a scheme and sends Max into the prison under the name Frankin
"Snake" DuBois. Max picks a fight to prove himself
to Razorback, finding a planted comlink to discredit Skunk
and get into his organization. Overlord plans back at HQ to
destroy a troop transport train that will escort Razorback
elsewhere. Communications to the train are jammed, so the
Zone Riders must go in person. As
the train nears Mount Rushmore, the Black Widows lay their
trap. Overlord detonates the charges, the mountain rumbles
as the train comes perilously near. Tank uses a repulsor beam
from his bazooka to put Washington's face back as it falls.
The memorial is damaged but not destroyed. With the troops
delayed, they'll have to hike in. Max is still in danger.
Two of Skunk's goons try to kill Max in a piece of equipment
at the prison. A tackle by a goon pops out the lens that shows
Dr. Laurence whats going on, and it is destroyed. The prisoners
go to mess call. When Max tells a guard who he is, pulling
off his mask, but is discovered by Razorback. He then has
Jones captured. Razorback
then makes an organized prison break with the inmates with
Max strapped on front of the truck. Courage attempts to turn
them back at the Zone boundary, but they are squeezed between
two forces and flee into the Zone. A shot by Rimfire damages
Overlord's comlink and he is out of command of the battle.
Meanwhile Kat freezes the ground ahead of a truck, stopping
it. Tank throws Razorback out of the lead vehicle and rescues
Max who is Zoned. Courage uses Rimfire to destroy the Zone
Generator, freeing the prisoners. Razorback escapes with Reaper
back to the Zone as they retreat. Items
Noticed: Dr. Laurence makes a contact lens camera/mike combination
that is amazing technology for 2007.
Notes:
Max and Tanks former antagonism is seen lessening here, as
Tank jokes about not wanting to ruin a perfectly good armored
car (that Max was on).
What
do we learn? The Zone that Dr. Laurence is studying is in
South Dakota, since it is near Black Hills Prison and Mount
Rushmore.
Skunk
used to run with Al Krak (Razorback) in Jersey in younger
days.
Goof
ups: In the scene where Tank is going to ram Overlord with
his truck, Max can clearly be seen wearing his "Snake"
DuBois mask which he took off earlier and which shows no sign
of Zone Bacteria.
