When I followed the link, I saw: Sorry, currently our video library can only be watched from within the United States. So, you'll have to wait until someone in The USA can respond.

Well, if people can't watch the video (but I still hope that someone will), I will try to describe what is going on. Two teenagers are about to be attacked by two enemies. The guy wants to protect his girlfriend and says to her: "When they have an opening, I want you to run away. Got it?"

Any ideas?

I presume it is a quirk of the translation. Perhaps it is a literal rendering of the original Japanese. In English it would normally be phrased something like:
When there is an opening...
When you see an opening...
When you get the chance...
