Nothing to Lose Page #5

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.

He's sweet to me.

Mom, sorry, for everything.

I really want to come home.

I didn't mean it like this.

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?
