Nitro Rush

1

You have a visitor.

You always come weekends.

Yeah, but it's a special day.

Happy birthday!

Remember? As a kid it

was your favorite book.

Maybe you'd like to reread it.

Thanks, Dad. Nice of you.

It was...

last month, his 17th birthday party.

He looks good. Happy.

Darn! I forgot to get

him to write something.

Dad!

Let's not go there again.

- Stop.

Theo hasn't forgotten you.

- I know he hasn't.

He hasn't forgiven me.

It's all good, Dad. Look,

he knows where to find me.

Bye, Dad.

Max, about your son...

- Shut the door, please.

I have a message from the Lawyer.

All of you, down!

Code white, rear yard.

You're his new b*tch?

Drop the knife, Max.

Drop the knife!

OK, Alt-J 8.

Yes! We're in.

Awesome.

Am I interrupting?

They nailed it.

OK, GUYS".

Nice work, but we're done

skimming PINs, right?

We watch the Chemists 24/7.

That's what we're doing. Look.

Is that live?

- Reality TV.

Boss...

The cops are here.

I can't be arrested. Them neither.

They stay here.

- To be booked?

They're minors.

Sure, no sweat. We'll stay.

Hulk, you go with Daphne.

Guardian angel, man.

OK, perfect.

I'll talk to the cops, buy time.

Get to work. Erase everything, OK?

I don't like this.

This isn't the time, Charly. Help me.

The notorious criminal, the Lawyer,

was arrested by federal

and provincial agents

in an operation targeting an internet

and credit card fraud ring.

The search turned up

illicit computer software

and hundreds of counterfeit credit cards.

Among the suspects are two young hackers

now facing multiple charges.

Theo! Hold on a sec.

We have to talk. Sit down.

What's going on, Theo?

I didn't do it.

I'm not a complete imbecile.

What's the problem?

There are millions of web pirates.

You stole parts for your old cars.

Glad your dad doesn't know.

My dad?

Who's that?

No, Theo...

At least I'm no killer.

No way he can lecture me.

I'm going to bed.

- No, Theo.

Sit down.

Max.

The warden wants to see you.

Hello, Max.

I had a date with the warden.

Who're you?

You don't waste time.

Perfect.

Recognize him?

He sold you a heart for your wife.

It ended badly.

What of it?

He was arrested yesterday.

After he got out of organ trafficking,

he moved on to internet fraud.

But...

that's a distraction.

This...

is his prime business.

Nitro Rush.

A designer drug

with a hit like coke,

only better.

More intense.

Longer.

Coupled with a feeling of

invincibility.

All it takes is one drop.

Just one.

The perfect drug.

Strips away all inhibition.

A drug that gives you wings.

Dangerous illusion!

This is just a prototype.

Circulates clandestinely for now,

but already we've had

several deaths.

Why are you telling me this?

Who are you?

Your pal the Lawyer...

We suspect he's involved in producing

and distributing this drug.

Your intelligence branch sucks.

The Lawyer's far from being a friend.

You're absolutely right.

Our intelligence has its limits.

Which is why we need your help.

The Lawyer is in protective custody

right here.

We need to get him to talk.

But he'd have to stay a little longer.

Now, if he were in a fight, say...

It'd take the right man to provoke him.

You gotta be joking.

We're not big on joking.

I'm not interested.

Do you recognize him?

Didn't know your son's in his gang?

He's suspected of

counterfeiting bank cards,

phishing, identity theft...

Shall I continue?

No way. Your story's bullshit.

Theo's been released on bail.

Do you want to call your dad?

He can confirm everything.

You see, Max,

now you have an excellent

reason to help us.

Think of your son.

Think of Theo, Max.

He needs you.

Alert everybody. The sh*t's gonna fly.

Lock fatso in his cell.

The rest of you, not a peep.

Everybody on standby.

'Cause when it blows, it's gonna blow.

You bastard!

So you're preying on minors, you scumbag!

What's your problem, Max?

You don't like your kid rolling in cash?

You'd rather he was

a f***ing loser like you?

You will never

touch my son again!

OK, I'm going in.

OK, Max. Enough.

- F*** you!

Calm down!

Easy now!

OK, cut some slack!

Don't you move. Do what I say!

Easy!

- You, back off!

Back off!

- It's OK!

Back off!

Shut up!

- Calm down!

That bastard!

Show me the hall.

Tell'em!

- Open the f***ing door!

You'll get yourself killed.

- Shut up!

Left hand. Put on the cuff!

Open the door.

Everything's fine, sh*t!

Open the door! Tell'em!

Open it!

Calm down.

Open the door!

Tell'em!

- Open it, dickwit!

Open it!

Calm down.

Close the door.

Close it.

On your knees.

Stick out your arms.

Don't try anything.

Or I'll kill you.

Don't be stupid.

- Shut up.

You won't last long, Max!

Max, dammit.

Come get me, sh*t.

Wait, wait.

Relax. Relax.

Back. Back.

Your walkie.

Your walkie-talkie. On your knees.

On your knees facing the fence.

Don't move. Stay right there.

Calm down. Get going.

We're going to the infirmary!

What the hell were you thinking?

Have you gone crazy?

Breaking out, and taking a guard hostage!

Theo's in trouble.

You didn't tell me.

What could you have done, in prison?

I'm free now.

You call that free,

with the police on your ass?

I just want to find Theo.

And do what?

- Get him out of there!

He won't listen to you!

You can't stay here, it's too dangerous.

Go to my garage.

Wait, what are you doing!

Let me do that. Sit.

Who'll take care of Theo?

You will, Alice.

You'll look after Theo.

You'll live.

With your new heart you'll live, I promise.

My love, I promise.

Theo

You let Mom die.

Now it's your turn.

Here.

I brought your stuff,

and coffee.

Coming?

I snuck out without them seeing.

I won't take it,

the pigs parked right in my face.

No, I understand.

I wanted to tell you, about Theo...

I haven't always told the truth.

It's not too late.

See, when Alice died,

after your guilty verdict,

Theo, he...

He became, like...

depressed.

He was bullied at school.

He had so much anger inside him...

I worried he'd kill himself.

And me, big dummy, I

didn't know what to do.

I didn't know how to help him, you know?

Course not, Dad.

It's not your fault. You tried.

He needs my help.

I'll bring him home.

You want to help him?

I know where he is.

C'mon.

You see that grey building

with the big windows.

It's there.

I'll stay at the cottage a while.

It's the only place the pigs

won't come to watch me.

Take care of yourself!

Hi there!

- Hi, nothing for me.

Excuse me, handsome.

Can I help you?

Crap, I knew it!

Getting careless, Max.

You'll be spotted.

Hulk, I just want to see Theo.

- Look...

How can I explain it?

Problem is, we don't want you around.

With you here, the cops

will come swarming like shitflies.

So beat it and we'll pretend

we never saw you, OK?

F***in' loser.

Dangerous Fugitive on the Loose!

Impressive.

It's Max, right?

I'm Daphne.

Theo, where is he?

He's not a prisoner.

He looks happy, huh?

Funny.

He never mentions you.

I guess you're not that close.
