Freeway Page #2

Synopsis: Little Red Riding Hood for the 1990's: After her mom and step-dad are arrested, 15-year-old Vanessa Lutz decides that instead of once again being put into a foster home, she'd rather go and search for the grandmother she's never met, and live with her. "On the way to grandma's house," (actually a trailer park) Vanessa's car breaks down, and she's picked up from the side of the road by Bob Wolverton, a counselor at a school for troubled boys. Bob slowly earns Vanessa's trust, and eventually convinces her to talk about her sexual abuse at the hands of her stepfather. When Vanessa realizes that Bob is enjoying what she's saying, she realizes that he's "The I-5 Killer," from the news. She tries to get out of his truck, but the inside door handle has been removed...

- Oh, sh*t!

- Who's the girl, Larry?

- Tryin' to take my baby away.

- You're diddlin' the daughter, Larry?

What kind of question is that?

- You mean...

- Get her outta here!

Hey, come on now.

She ain't my real daughter.

And besides,

nothin's goin' on, right?

- Just who is this man to you?

- He's my stepfather.

Take him into the other room

and I'll talk to the juvenile.

I got a pit in my shoulder,

and if you don't cuff me in front,

I'm gonna sue the police department

until there's no f***in' tomorrow!

- You son of a b*tch!

- What's your name?

Vanessa Lutz.

Well, kid, I sure don't envy

your situation here.

My parents is just goin' through

a hard time is all

with the finances and everything.

Well, I see they still got

enough money left over to buy drugs.

I wouldn't be comfortable talkin'

about that sort of thing, ma'am.

I'm goin' to ask you a question, okay?

Don't get upset. It's important.

Is there some sort of sexual activity

between your stepfather and yourself?

- Elevator up.

- Come here, baby.

- We are so f***ed.

- What are you laughin' at?

We are so f***ed.

Oh, don't take my baby away!

Oh, please!

If you love her so much, how come

you don't clean up around here?

I do clean up, sir.

It just happens that

I'm under a great deal of stress.

My sister happened to die

three months ago in Washington,

- and I'm tryin' to get off methadone!

- You're on methadone?

Will you please

give me a cigarette?

- I told you to keep quiet.

- Please give her a cigarette.

- Please.

- Are you mad at me?

Honey?

I'm not mad, Mom.

Please don't be mad.

Come over here, give me a big hug.

Come on. I ain't gonna see you

for a long time, baby.

Come on.

Oh, baby. Oh.

I am so sorry, Pooh Bear.

I'm so sorry.

You still love me?

- I love you, Mom.

- I love you more.

Here.

Would you get this...

Tell this piece of sh*t

to get his knee out of my neck!

Bye, Ramona!

I love you!

I love you!

Watch her head.

- I'll go in the other car.

- Get her outta here.

Bye, Ramona!

- Children's Services are on their way.

- Oh, that's just great.

No offense, kid, but anything's

an improvement over this.

What do you think we ought to do?

Just leave you here?

I could stay with you

for a couple of weeks.

- Are you kidding?

- No, I'm serious.

I could do all sorts of chores

while you was out messin' people up.

We're not allowed

to do things like that.

- You're lyin'.

- No, I'm not.

If you don't want to, all you had to do

was just say it straight out.

I don't want to.

Okay, then.

Hey, Mrs. Sheets.

Guess you heard the news.

Hello, Vanessa. I heard your mother

might be away for awhile.

This is her third arrest this year.
