Front man is watching still, enjoying the music and drink on teh last minute of play.

Old man is still alive. And seems to be having a very good time at the front.

People are sprinting forward on each iteration now, almost at the line.

They finally get across the line, the girl, the pimp, the old man, the friend of the main character, and then the main character is still behind the line, with almost no time left. Friend looks at him, there's another iteration and main character trips over a body, but is kept from falling by the Indian man, saving his life.
