Nothing to Lose Page #3

Synopsis: Johan, convicted for the murder of his father and sister, has been locked up in a TBS clinic (a hospital for criminals with a psychical disorder) for years. When he hears he will be transfered to a Long Stay ward - where nobody has ever been released from - he hopes his mother, who he hasn't spoken for years, will come to his hearing so she can tell the judge he didn't murder his sister, that his father abused him and was about to abuse his sister and that Johan therefore killed his father. However, his mother doesn't turn up. Realizing he's out of options, he escapes, determined to find his mother, so she can write a statement saying what really happened. Pretty soon however, he gets pursued by the police and in a rather desperate attempt to stay out of their hands, he kidnaps a 13-year old girl, Tessa. Together they drive through the Netherlands and Belgium to find his mother.

Love you too.

Johan? This is the Belgian police,

can you understand me?

Yeah, pretty alright.

-Johan, we want you to let Tessa go.

I'm letting her go when we're in The Netherlands, alright?

We are ordered to handle it here and now.

But Tessa has to be freed first.

We won't take any risks.

Do you understand what I mean with that?

Either Tessa and I are going to the NL together...

...or we die here together.

-We're coming to you right now.

We're going to get her,

and you will surrender.

Isn't it better to let me go?

Johan, let her go. Now.

Get out.

I will make sure no harm comes to you.

I'm taking her back to The Netherlands, alright?!

D*ckheads.

IWhat do we do? Can we take the risk?/I

IWe're still deliberating with the NL,

I'm going as fast as I can./I

This is your last chance, Johan.

If you don't surrender now we will intervene.

IWe have a clear shot./I

Come sit on my lap, please.

Come on, come on, on my lap.

IToo late, dammed, the girl is in the way./I

IWhy aren't they deciding?

What's taking so long?/I

I don't want to die.

-No one dies, Tess. Truly.

They don't shoot children.

Trust me.

You take the wheel, ok?

-Attention, let them through, don't harm the girl.

IBack off, let them through./I

IWe can't just let them go, right?/I

IIt is only 20 km to the border.

They'll be waiting for him there./I

See, they don't do a thing.

Those coppers to the side as well.

IDon't shoot, let them through./I

IIf you hit the girl, there will be an international riot./I

And continue..

Bastards.

Good girl.

They won't do anything, they won't do anything.

IWell pursuit him from the sky till the border./I

ILet the Dutch do it themselves./I

Good going, Tessa.

You don't have to be afraid.

Everything is in control.

Why are we stopping?

II have a visual./I

II cant keep the press back any longer./I

You're a movie star.

I want to go away from here.

I want to go home.

You, come here.

Yeah you, piss-stain.

Who are you?

-Udo... Udo Clement.

Listen up, we're going back to The Netherlands

in a moment, if I see any of you...

...or any of you over there, then this

d*ckhead dies first...

...after that it's Tessa's turn

and I will shoot myself through the head.

Now get out of the way!

And you come with me.

God dammed.

Turn right now, right!

I lost them!

Get out, get out.

Ok piss-stain, your wallet. HURRY UP

-I'm not the police. I am really a reporter.

Look for something with his address.

Tessa, come on.

Listen, f***ing reporter, I know where you live now,

if I feel like it I'll pay a visit and I'll break you...

...and your wife and kids as well.

So you're going to do exactly what I tell you, ok?

OK?

ok, ok.... ok.

What is it?

I want to go home.

Then I'll just take you home.

Really?

Yeah, really.

IThere they are!

We have contact again./I

Couldn't find anything better this quickly.

Hey, sleepy head.

We're here, you can go home.

What are you going to do now?

That doesn't matter.

Now come on, get out of here.

Yeah, tell them they can come pick me up.

I am where I picked her up.

In a beige Subaru with Belgian license plate.

Tessa is safe.

Come on.

You're not going to surrender, right?

I'm not worth it to live, Tess.

I am only evil.

What? you're really not only evil.

You could've hurt me so much,

you didn't hurt me at all.

You have to go back to the clinic.

I'll write you, I'll visit you.

You have to go, come on. Go.

You can't die, you don't deserve that.

You have to go home.

We'll drive back to the clinic together.

I'll write you every week, I swear.

You can't save me, Tess.

I'm not a musician with a drug-addiction.

I'm staying in the car.

I'm staying with you.

Why are we stopping here?

I'm going back to the clinic, Tess, really.

But I want to show you something first.

I really want us to keep seeing each other.

And that you'll write me and stuff.

But...

Then I want you to...

...to really know who I am.

Come.

Hey, come on.

You just said it yourself, If I wanted to hurt you,

I would've already done it.

Come on.

It's ok, come.

I will be right back.

This is what I wanted to show you.

My mother was right, Tess.

About my sister...

...about those other girls.

Easy.

Hey easy, easy.

Breathe slowly.

Tessa, hey.

Breathe slowly, Tessa.

Tessa, easy, easy.

Easy.

It's over in a moment.

It's over in a moment.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I don't want this.

I don't want this, Tessa, honestly.

I'm sorry, I really am, you don't deserve this.

girl... Tessa...
