She cuts Joey and Chris loose first, and they run over the top of a speeding train, then hide among the passengers to escape her. She cuts Justin loose next, and he outruns her trained dogs through a warehouse, eventually escaping into the pouring rain. Then Lance and JC are cut loose and fall into a red Dodge Viper RT/10. They speed away from her, while being chased by her silver BMW Z3. All of this is interspersed with shots of the band dancing in a blue box with a fixed camera, making them appear as though they are on different planes of gravity.
