Nothing to Lose Page #2

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.

Don't make it worse than it already is.

-Worse than it is?

I'm going to let her go after I talk to my mother.

Are you going to take care of that or not?

No, I can't make that happen.

I don't know where she is.

When can I go home?

I have to talk to someone.

After that I will let you go.

Come on, get out.

You'll have to go in here.

Yeah, sorry, but I have to make sure you're not going anywhere

But I will suffocate.

-No, not that fast, I will be right back.

Watch your head.

I will be right back, truly.

Hi grandma.

When did you get out?

Do you have something to eat?

Yes. Yeah.

Where is mother?

-I don't know that. truly.

She left.

Where to?

I don't know.

Hey, is everything alright?

-Yeah, let her.

Want to go?

-Yeah.

Hey, listen.

I know you don't want this.

Neither do I. But its how it is.

I want to make a deal with you.

Here is someone that can prove my innocence.

Thats the person I have to talk to.

After that I will let you go.

Ok?

Why did you take me?

-Why?

Why not my friend?

Because you have something special.

You are different.

-How different?

There are enough girls like your friend.

But you..

You have something special.

You are a good person.

Tessa, help me please.

So from now on we will trust each other?

Come, we're changing cars.

Here, vitamins.

Is it good?

Yes.

It's good my mother can't see this. She'd go crazy

You can decide yourself what you eat, right!

Can you maybe give me a hand?

Here, or won't your mother allow it?

And now we are .. here?

-here.

The best route is through Luik, here.

-Where did you learn to read a map like that?

My father taught me.

Do you have a nice father?

He's dead.

For how long?

Since I was 10.

I found him myself.

He was all blue.

My mother said he drank himself to death.

And now you live with your mother?

Yes, and her new boyfriend.

Ok, and from now on follow Lige.

-Liege? Didn't we have to go through Luik?

Yeah, that is called Lige in French.

Who do we have to talk to in Belgium?

My mother.

Why don't you just call her?

Because she doesn't want to talk to me.
