Detour

The scene commences with two young women, Molly and Sandra, both 18 years old, departing from the shopping center where they are both employees. Their destination is the roadside pick-up location. The camera, situated within the vehicle, observes them as they lean in to validate their ride before climbing into the back seat. Their driver is an attractive, well-groomed man named Stefan, who greets them courteously, confirms their pick-up on his phone, and drives away from the parking area. CUT TO TITLE PLATE The girls chat casually about the pressures of their home life during their journey. Having recently celebrated their eighteenth birthdays, they are both eager to graduate and attain independence. They are employed at the shopping center to save money for their dream backpacking trip following the end of school. Stefan listens silently, a smile playing on his lips at their lively conversation. At one point, Molly, the more talkative of the two, inquires about his homeland, noticing his foreign accent. Upon learning he's from Europe, they both become excited and start requesting travel advice - exactly where they plan on backpacking. Stefan, who appears well-traveled and cultured, shares plenty of advice based on his personal experiences. Both girls listen attentively, exchanging glances. The driver isn't bad looking for an older man! As they pay attention to Stefan and Molly tries to flirt in her awkward teenage manner, Sandra begins to notice they are not headed towards their destination. This realization makes her anxious and she becomes quiet while her best friend continues to giggle flirtatiously. The attractive man drives them to a secluded area where he parks the car. Before Sandra can voice her concerns, he informs them that he's taken a detour to his house and invites them in. He has something he believes will be very useful for their upcoming trip. Molly's eyes widen with intrigue, and she climbs over Sandra to exit the vehicle. Sandra is hesitant, but follows her friend. Stefan and Molly enter the house, with Sandra trailing cautiously behind. Inside the living room, Molly remarks on the eccentric artwork and books in the man's library. An old-fashioned suitcase is propped up on the coffee table, giving off an antique vibe. Stefan approaches and opens it, revealing the contents to the girls. The camera does not show what is inside, but instead focuses on Molly and Sandra's reactions. Their eyes widen in astonishment. Stefan grins, his lips curling up in pleasure. He proposes to give them everything inside the suitcase for free, on the condition that they agree to do one small thing in return. Sandra retreats, asking him what he wants in exchange. He maintains his smile, staring at her intently. 'I would like to take some pictures of you,' he replies. Sandra glances at Molly, who smiles nervously and asks what kind of photos he wants. Moving towards them, past the open suitcase they are still staring at, he explains that he wishes to take photos of them kissing. He picks up a camera that was resting on his piano. 'You have nothing to be worried about,' he continues. 'I am not a pervert. I simply have a deep appreciation for young women!' Sandra is immediately hesitant, but Molly is captivated by the suitcase. 'So, you'll give us everything in the suitcase if we kiss for you?' She inquires. He concurs. She turns to Sandra and starts persuading her friend to agree. It's just a little kissing ... they've done it at parties before. Besides, he's clearly harmless. If he were a predator, he would have done something by now. That suitcase is exactly what they need to escape their parents and start living their own lives! Despite her reservations, Sandra eventually agrees to do it for her friend. While Stefan takes photos, the girls kiss for a bit, with Molly trying to make it look convincing and Sandra remaining very uncomfortable. Stefan seems to derive pleasure from this and focuses on her during the photo shoot. At one point, he asks Sandra if he can kiss her. She is extremely taken aback and refuses. Molly, increasingly frustrated with her friend, pulls her aside again and begs her to just comply. Finally, Sandra concedes and allows the man to kiss her. As he does so, he starts to hold her hands and wrap them around him. She pulls away. Stefan stops abruptly, raising his hands. He walks back to the suitcase, closes it, tells the girls they're wasting his time, and asks them to leave. Feeling desperate and angry at her friend for being so uncooperative, Molly asks Stefan if there is anything she can do instead? After a long, dramatic pause, he suggests that he get a taste of Molly's sweetness. Not wanting to lose the opportunity, Molly agrees and moves to the couch, pulling down her work uniform bottoms.
