O Lord!
Strike him with the hammer of wrath!
The hammer of wrath...
Pray for the fire! Pray for the fire!
Pray for the—
Not too shabby, eh?
What's that?
What's going on?
Should we call the police?
Come on...
Get in!
A-An abduction?!
N-N-Not one peep out of you!
I-I said don't make any noise!
I'm not, am I?
Bastard!
Do you understand the situation you're in?
Calm down, Carter!
Y-You're right, Jake.
Make a call to your father.
We demand a sincere apology.
And ten million for compensation!
I don't know his number.
Huh?!
He hasn't given his own son his number?
Yeah, that sounds like a lie to me!
I can't tell you what I don't know.
I'm not buying that!
You'd better find some way to tell your dad...
Get on your knees and beg forgiveness!
And bring ten million dollars!
How foolish.
What did you say?!
Quit stalling and—
What the heck?!
Whoa, did you see that?
That looks pretty bad...
Damn it... What was that?
Bro, the tire!
Hey! Who's watching the kid?!
Crap!
Sorry for barging in, Granny.
Phew. Looks like we managed to get away.
You can relax now.
Hmm?
Isn't that a Rummy College uniform?
I hear only rich kids go there. Maybe that's why they're after you.
What's your name?
What an impertinent question.
Leave me alone.
Huh?!
Wait, hold up.
You nearly got kidnapped—
Is it your brain or ears that don't work?
I'll say it again.
Leave me alone.
Is that how you talk to the guy who saved you?!
Don't you have something else to say to me?!
Something else to say?
Did you consider the damage
you might cause by firing in the middle of the street?
Did you realize that interfering might endanger the victim in the car?
Acting on emotion is often considered a virtue,
but I see it as monkeys acting on base instinct.
Playing hero to stroke your ego will always get you into trouble.
Remember that.
There you are, kidnapper!
U-Um, we're the kidnappers...
Man, you're persistent.
How could we back down?!
His father destroyed our family!
He did?
Our family ran a small factory.
But our biggest client terminated their contract without any warning.
It was his father's company!
He ordered the termination of the contract!
He...
He's a devil with a human facade!
That's nothing unusual.
What?!
The weak are eliminated, and only the strong survive.
That's how this world works.
Y-You can say that, but...
I don't have time to waste indulging grudges held by the poor.
You bastard!
Hey, hey, hey!
I get where you're coming from, but kidnapping isn't the answer.
You have no idea what we've been through!
I'm telling you, you're going about this wrong.
Shut up!
You could still get off light if you'd back down now.
No one sympathizes with kidnappers, you know what I mean?
Listen to me!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Now I'm drenched!
You fricking bastard!
Come on! This is a new suit!
Get lost!
Let me go!
I'll crush you to death!
B-Bro!
That hurt!
J-Just get lost already!
This is the police!
Show me your hands!
I'm taking you in for kidnapping, property damage, and other charges.
Stop!
Please forgive me!
Let me go!
Thanks, officer.
For stealing the scooter.
Also, I'm taking you two in as key witnesses.
Huh?
H-How did this happen?
I told you, playing hero will—
It's normal to help someone in need.
Your "normal" doesn't apply to me.
You really are something.
You and your dad must have hella interpersonal problems.
You know, people hate that kind of authoritarian attitude.
Act like that, and of course people are gonna resent you and avoid you—
Shut up!
I don't need an outsider's opinion.
H-Hey, where are you going?
Home.
Home? But...
Huh?
H-Hey! Wait up!
Where did they go?!
Oh, Captain Young...
Forget about those two.
Forget them?!
If you value your life, don't get too involved with them.
What do we do, bro?
How do we explain this?
Carter! Jake! You useless pieces of shit!
Nix!
Let's go.
I shall bring divine wrath down upon the wicked,
with this power bestowed by God...
Hey, wait!
Wait up! How did you—
I have no interest in you.
Hold on a sec.
Oh, come on!
Hey, did you hear the new Poison Phenomenon song?
Yeah, I did!
It's sick, right?
Totally!
The rap just sizzled!
Here.
Yeah!
I thought you left.
Nope. This is for you.
My treat.
I mean, I guess it's more of an apology.
I spoke ill of your father when I don't know anything about him.
Sorry.
I grew up in an orphanage.
What? Are you trying to gain my sympathy and beg for forgiveness?
That's not it.
Apparently, I was in a traffic accident when I was little.
I was miraculously saved, but the shock of it all made me lose my memories.
I guess it's what you call amnesia.
I don't remember anything about my family.
So I don't know, or rather...
I can't imagine what it's like to hear someone talk shit about my parents.
But, I mean, you know...
You do want my sympathy.
I don't.
Good, right?
It's not bad.
Stop being difficult, will ya?
Don't know your way home?
I can take you.
Oh, that's close to my workplace.
We can take that to get there.
Is that the subway?
Don't tell me you've never used it.
Does it take credit cards?
Come on, follow me.
I told you to leave me—
Never mind that. Come on.
Man, you're a real trust fund baby, huh?
Hmm?
Er, just don't see that every day...
What?!
Calm down. It's just a suit.
B-But it's new...
Don't worry about him.
But it's not good manners to run around on the train.
Don't do it again.
Can you promise?
Okay.
What?
You actually have a nice side—
I heard you were the devil's spawn. Who knew you had a human side?
You're the guys from before!
I heard what you did to my dear brothers.
Play!
You...!
"Lethal Scoville"!
What's that?
A magic trick?
Allow me to return the favor.
My god!
It's hot.
Now call your father!
I told your brothers that I don't know his number.
They're incapable of passing on such simple information?
Then call an employee or his secretary! Just get someone on the phone!
And tell them what's happening to you!
He'll drop everything to come if he knows his son's life is at risk.
That's how parents are!
You don't know him at all.
He'll discard anyone who'd drag him down.
Even his own son.
You...
Is that so?
Then I wonder what he'll do when he sees the charred corpse of that son.
Fine. Tell me what you want.
Hey!
S-Stay quiet.
Don't touch me!
That's enough.
Good.
If you want to live, then be smart like the rich boy over here.
Pray for the fire.
Pray for the fire!
Play!
"Lethal Scoville"!
Pray for the fire, pray for the fire...
Those guys are nuts.
The weak always latch on to something.
For them, it's religion.
Religion, huh?
But more importantly...
I worked a little magic.
You got some sticky fingers, huh?
Finally, the time has come to let the hammer of wrath fall!
By the way, bro...
What's up, Jake?
That guy in yellow...
Who is he?
Not sure.
A student from Rummy College?
A classmate?
Doesn't seem like it. He looks kinda plebby.
Unfortunately, I am...
a car dealer who happened to pass by!
Hey!
Play!
"Neo New Nambu"!
Get outside the factory!
Idiot!
Calm down and assess the situation—
Carter! Jake!
We're okay!
Sis, you go after him!
So you have a god watching over you too?
And yet...!
If you're a player, then...
You deserve divine punishment.
A trial of flame!
Damn it!
Where do you think you're aiming?
I can't see clearly because of the smoke.
Your flesh, your bones...
I'll burn everything to ash!
Sorry, sorry.
I got stuck in traffic.
Chris?!
Huh?
Why are you here, Finn?
Who the heck are you?!
Huh? Oh, I'm kind of like a proxy.
Where's Leo?
A proxy?!
Are you kidding me?!
I'm here.
Hmm?
You got the money?
Of course!
I got tons right here.
Stop messing with us!
Bring us the man himself!
How much is in there?
A million, for now.
A million?!
I'd say that much is a wasted on these people.
We asked for ten!
It's a bargain.
You're getting a card on top of that.
Hey, what are you two talking—
Stop blabbering on and listen to me!
M-M-Money!
H-Hey...
Play.
"Never No Dollars"!
Meet Leo, the player with the 7 of diamonds.
He's part of High Card.
Huh?!
No! Our money!
You're wrong.
It's my money.
"Never No Dollars."
This power exchanges nearby cash for something of equivalent value.
You fricking... bourgeois!
All bow before money.
O Lord!
Are you all right?!
I didn't need your help.
Playing hero will always get you into trouble.
Hey!
Man, what are you—
Hmm?
Now I've paid off my debt.
Nice working with you, Leo.
Impertinent as ever.
What did you just say...?
I said this is Leo Constantine Pinochle,
the manager of the Old Maid Street branch of Pinochle Automobiles.
For real?
Yup, for real.
Why didn't you tell me?!
Because you didn't ask—
Finn. Chris.
Finn. I've read the report.
I'm not impressed with your reckless need to plunge headfirst into danger.
And Chris, you need to do better as his mentor.
Has Finn met Leo already?
Do not carelessly use your card's power in public.
I wonder if something happened that we're not aware of...
Do you have any idea how many times your heroism put me in danger?
Are you stupid?
That's how we came to obtain this card.
Good work.
However, please try to avoid drawing unnecessary attention in the city.
It does cost us to cover it up.
I'm not talking to you.
Owen, what's next on my schedule?
Sir, there's a meeting with the other branch managers at two o'clock.
I see.
See you later, Dad.
Next time: "SAMURAI GIRL."
