To reach a speed faster than light relativity needs to be wrong. Asking what relativity predicts in situations where it doesn't apply is meaningless. You could ask the question in a completely different framework, e.g. in Newtonian physics (where motion faster than light is possible), but then you don't have black holes any more so you run into the same problem of the question having no answer.
