Rescue Me

---

("Help Is On The Way" by Billy Trudel)

Your pictures fill my camera

Your image fills my mind

I always want you with me

Want you all the time

I'll take the world on, baby

If it ain't good to you

Go out and face the fire

There's nothin' I won't do

Baby, when you need

me help is on the way

Help is comin', help is on the way

Whenever you're in trouble

My love will set you free

You know I'm there to love you

You can count on me

When you're tied up and stranded

And thinkin' what's the use

I'll be right there beside you

I will turn you loose

Baby, when you need

me help is on the way

Help is comin', help is on the way

And when you need protection

If you're too weak to fight

I'll always get you through it

Get you through the night

Oh, get you through the night

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Whenever you're in danger

I'll be there at the scene

If someone tries to hurt you

I'd jump right in between

No one will ever harm you

No one will make you cry

I swear that they'll regret it

Just don't let them try

When you need me help is on the way

- Nice work, Samuels.

(upbeat rock music)

(faint shouting)

- Hey, pretty neat, Sweeney.

- Huh?

- Ever hear lick medic occurrence?

- What?

- The lick medic occurrence?

(laughter)

- Never mind, you will.

(laughter)

Yeah, that's the lick

medic occurrence!

- What happened?

- I'm sorry, Mrs. Evert.

It was an accident, I was--

- Well, pay more attention!

Or I'll have to revoke your

Bunsen burner privileges!

(class laughs)

(bell rings)

(upbeat rock music)

(crowd cheers)

- Fraze, are you gonna spend

the entire senior year suicidal?

- Look, I'm workin' here, Billy.

This is the biggest pep

rally in the biggest game

of the season, remember?

- Uh-huh.

Samuel's shooting the rally, Fraze.

Fraze, if Todd Lathrop catches

you photographing Ginny

one more time, you're gonna be roadkill!

- God, she's got great cheeks!

- It's just a short skirt, Fraze!

C'mon, don't you wanna live till summer?

Alright, fine, fine.

I'll see you in class.

- Alright, people!

Here they are, the (mumbles) history!

Starting with our star quarterback,

Todd Lathrop!

(audience cheers)

(people shout indistinctly)

- Hey, Fraser, take our picture!

- Sure!

- Now, me!

- No, me, Fraser!

(camera clicks repeatedly)

So, Fraser, how are my chances

of getting a page in the yearbook?

- Great, it's a cinch!

- Thanks!

- [Coach] Alright, let's

hear it for the team!

(audience cheers loudly)

(band plays victory song)

- Hey!

Hey, what?

- Hey, Todd.

How's it going?

- Didn't we have a talk

a while ago, Sweeney?

- A talk?

- Now, refresh my memory,

Karl, what did we talk about?

- About this dork not takin'

any more photos of Ginny.

- What's this look like to you?

- Ginny! (chuckles)

Check this one out.

Not bad, huh?

Yearbook quality for sure.

- Yeah?

- You see, Mr. Warmsley,

he wanted a cover page

for the athletic section.

I got the cover page.

- Yeah, so what about Ginny?

- Well.

We gotta make her look good for the

state cheerleading scholarship, don't we?

- They got scholarships for cheerleading?

- Oh yeah, big time!

Todd.

Her dream is to follow you

all the way to the 49ers.

- Okay, let's get outta here.

(sighs)

Hi, Mom.

- Hi, kiddo!

You're out early!

- Half day for seniors,

there's a big game tonight.

- Oh. Thank you.

The receipt's in the bag.

- How's Grandma?

- Oh, you know Grandma.

A little touch of the flu and

the whole world has to stop.

And I don't want anybody in

the house while I'm gone.

Do you understand that, anybody.

- Not even Billy?

- Especially Billy.

- Well, I'll just go over there, then.

We have to study for the scholarship test.

- Fine.

- Mom, can't we just talk about this?

This is a great opportunity for me.

- (sighs) I don't wanna

discuss it, Fraser.

You know where I stand on you

going so far away to college.

- Yeah.

Okay, okay.

Guess I'll see you at home.

- Okay.

(upbeat music)

(scooter growls softly)

(thoughtful music)

(motorcycle growls softly)

(birds chirping)

(suspicious music)

- Well?

- Well?

(suspenseful music)

(camera clicks repeatedly)

- So what's with you and Sweeney

who follows you everywhere?

Is it love?

- (laughs) Oh, sure!

- Ginny, Ginny!

- Hey, what is this?

- Todd, what's going on?

- Hey, no way, man!

(loud thud)

(loud grunt)

- Do something!

(tire screeches loudly)

- Oh, man!

- No!

- Ginny!

Ginny!

- Hold on!

I'll go get help!

- No, what are you doing?

- Let's get the hell

outta here, now!

- Alright, come on!

- Let me go, let me go!

(loud shouting)

(thrilling music)

- [Ginny] Let me go!

- Would you put her down?

What are you doing?

(gun fires repeatedly)

- [Ginny] Let me go, you thug!

No!

No!

(thrilling music)

- Get in the car!

- No!

- Get in there!

Get in there!

Alright, she's in!

(engine growls loudly)

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

- No!

(screams) No, let me go!

- Sh*t!

(tires screech loudly)

- Shut up now!

Will you just be quiet!

- Let me go!

- Shut up!

- Alright, alright, chill!

- Great!

Just great, mastermind!

We were just gonna score

the stuff and split!

What in the hell are we gonna

do with this dippy broad?

- Hey!

- Shut up!

- I didn't know the guy

was gonna have a gun!

How could I know that--

- You know,

you are stupid, Rowdy,

that's what you are.

Just plain stupid!

You don't get it, do you?

Miss Lickety Split here can ID us!

- We can waste her!

- No way!

- You don't get a vote!

- Look.

My father will pay a lot for me.

He owns a bank.

You can't kill me.

- Sure we can! Here, watch!

- Hey, wait a minute!

- Give me that!

- If you touch me, I swear--

- What?

What are you gonna do, huh?

(loud slap)

- Will you knock it off, both of you?!

Let me think, alright?

- Look, if you--

- Shut up!

- You shut up!

- You shut up!

- You shut up!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Christ, this is like having kids!

Alright.

Alright, we'll just--

We'll try it your way.

Yeah.

(suspenseful music)

- Yeah, yeah, Mr. Grafton, please.

(loud grunting)

Look, I know the bank is closed!

You tell him it's important.

It concerns his daughter, alright?

Jesus.

(loud grunting)

(suspenseful music)

- Three guys just waiting

for us with a gun.

As soon as I saw 'em, I

knew we were in trouble.

I tried to protect Ginny but

the young guy was too fast.

And he had a gun, did I mention that?

- [Reporter] Only about 50 times.

- Anyway, he knocked me down with his gun.

And then he grabbed Ginny and

he used her as a human shield.

I couldn't do anything!

I swear, honest, I was

trying to help her as her--

- Ladies and gentlemen--

- Mr. Grafton.

Is it true that the

kidnappers have demanded

a quarter million in ransom?

- Yes, it is.

Please, tell them

that I have the--

- Look, look, look.

You folks are gonna

have to clear outta here

until we've conducted our investigation.

- If the money can be raised,

will the FBI allow a trade?

- I have the money, please tell--
