- All right, go. | - Good, good!

Good boy! We'll save | the chemical plant, huh?

We're still going to lose | those three people.

I still don't understand.

How did this happen? Why couldn't | we stop it with all this junk?

I mean, with all this | high technology?

Some things can't be explained.

Look!

Holy sh*t!

See that Ranken? | Did you see that?

Come on, Ranken!

You'll never take me back!

Try it!

You'll never get me alive!

What's the matter? | You got no f***ing guts?

Come on!

You hear me? | You'll never stop this train!

I told you I'd break free!

Here I am, right in your face. | Come on down!

I won! I won!

Here I am! | I'm alive, sucker!

You hear me?

You'll never get me!

You'll never stop this train. | Never!

You understand? | I won!

What was that?

What happened?

They gave up on us.

They switched us onto | a dead-end track.

- What does that mean? | - We're going to crash.

Hold me.

I don't want to die alone.

We going to be all right. | We going to be fine.

We all die alone. | Come on, Ranken!

Here I am! | I'm out of my cage now!

I'm never going back.

You'll never stop me! | Never! I'm out. You hear me?

You can't get across, Manny.

I'm out of my cage. | You'll never stop me.

You're gonna learn, kid.

It's all up here.

I'll cross the stinking thing.

Watch me.

Waiting for you.

Is Jonah alive?

That's good. | He'll be glad.

Don't do it, Manny. | You'll burn for it. You know you will.

Push the button. | We're on a dead-end siding.

We're gonna crash | in five minutes.

Then we'll have a nice | five-minute ride together.

You think you're a hero, huh? | You're scum.

We're both scum, brother.

You're going to push that button | and stop this train!

We've only got a few minutes!

We got all the time | in the world.

- You'll die, bastard! | - You'll die with me.

F*** you. You're as afraid | to die as anybody else.

And I never let you free. | You hear me?

I am free, Ranken.

You think you won!

I know how to die too!

Win, lose, | what's the difference?

What about that punk | and the girl?

No, it's just you and me.

Manny! Shut it down.

Shut it down! | That's all you got to do!

He knows what he wants to do.

He did it.
