I'm done being the loser!

Give me the car keys!

Nishi...

You're on your own sir, come on, let's roll!

Hey!

Get in!

Wait...

Atsu got wasted!

My fault... They're in my car, we'll get them.

My apologies!

Nishi, watch out!

Help!!

And a hero is born...

Hands on the wheel!!

Don't worry, I'm on it! I'll protect you!

I love you both!!

Moron, eyes on the road! Why are we running?

We should go to the police, self defense, right?

No! No! No! No cops, no questions,

no regrets! I'm through with that!

Making a break for it, with you two!

Like I want!

No one's gonna get in my way!!

I'm following my heart's desires!

Like an outlaw!

Hey, can you hear me?

I do hope you realize you were living

in paradise till today.

Like angels flying around in heaven.

But now you're on a super express to hell!

The guy you smoked, that bald SOB, Atsu?

Fine football player and athlete,

known as the Maradona of Osaka!

For good and for bad reasons.

Beautiful bod' like a wild animal!

Not that it has to do with anything.

You knew Atsu was packing,

that the car was full drugs,

money, you knew all that, you planned it.

A clear cut armed robbery and murder case.

His folks abandoned him,

he grew up without love!

Got tickets for the World Cup,

for him and his girl.

A model Japanese footie fan.

But just before the game,

a young guy like you puts out his light.

Ah, the ever-egocentric,

unfeeling youth of today!

Immature adults on the loose,

everything a blur except their friends.

Living life like a video game,

finger on the reset button!

You're a roller-coaster with no breaks.

It's not true, you're making it up.

Typical story, nice and easy

for the cops to follow!

What I'm sayin' is, nobody's on your side!

This is it, kids! Make it a good game!

Nice speech old man.

Will you stop it!

- I can see you sweating in front of a prompter!

- Nishi!

It's improv!

Sure!

What?!

This roller-coaster you're trying to stop

is a genuine Angel Express!

And I can see you moved to tears

as you watch that mystic angel...

...spread its wings and disappear into the sky.

The f***?!

F***!

Nishi!

Offside!

A**hole, this ain't football!

Now get in as close as you can!

Offside-trap!

STUNT DRIVING!

My nose is bleeding!

Mine too!

Mine too!

The bridge!

What the f*** are you doing?!

My Pitch, my little pitch!

Pitch. You came back! Pitch!

No more fooling around.

We'll get 'em on the bridge.

Perfect defense plan. Even Zidane and Figo

couldn't get through. We'll get 'em.

Whale?

What, you again?!

Not just yet!

You there, Nishi?

Are we... dead?

You both there? Wait a sec...

Where is it?

Bingo!

We're alive...

Thank God!
