Highway (2016) - full transcript

A troubled young hitchhiker struggles to escape a fatal prophecy on a remote mountain highway.

And you're listening to

Echo Radio, sleepy
Saturdays with Jim Jets.

It's Saturday, the 12th of November,

now onto the news.

Well, it's been a surprising 24 hours

in the Charlotte Ranger's region.

Our record breaking drought has broken

in spectacular fashion with a violent rain

and hailstorm which commenced
late yesterday afternoon

and continued torrentially overnight

resulting in the Echo River
breaking its banks.



And this wild weather shows
no sign of easing, folks,

as rain and sleet are
forecast for the rest

of the day with further flood warnings

issued for this evening.

Afternoon.

Do you need a ride?

Well, get in, no other side.

Move over, Diana, let the lady through.

You good?

What's your name, dear?

Hester.

Esther?

Hester.

Hester?



That's a strange name.

Did your mother give you that name?

Where you headed, Hester?

We can take you through Echo Valley.

You don't look well, dear.

What's the date?

That would be the 11th of November.

What day?

Friday.

Is everything all right, dear?

Something's traumatized the kid, Freddie.

Something traumatized you, kid?

It's Saturday,
the 12th of November,

I'm Jim Jet with some breaking news.

Echo Valley authorities
have declared a flood crisis

as last night's unexpected,
severe flash flood

continues to wreak
havoc across the region.

The flood has already
claimed the lives of five

people, including two young children,

and a teenager, who
were discovered drowned

in their car at Echo Valley.

It is believed that the
driver, who has been

identified as Alfred Lambert, became stuck

in deep mud at a rest
area just off Highway 11

at the mouth of Echo Valley
before yesterday's downpour.

Also found in the car
were Mr. Lambert's wife,

Marlene, eight month old, Thomas,

and seven year old, Diana.

Police are awaiting
identification of the girl

to determine whether the body is that of

missing teenager...

Stop.

I'm gonna be sick!

Stop the car!

Quick, quick, Freddie,

she's gonna be sick, quick!

Marlene, do you think
I'm not trying to stop?

I can't pull up here.

In the bucket, Diana,

in the bucket, if you can.

There, Freddie, rest area,

pull in there.

No, don't go in there!

Please, listen to me!

Listen to me!

There's gonna be a flood and
our car is going to be stuck!

- A flood?
- Our car is gonna get stuck

and we all die!

Please, believe me!

We need to get these kids
out of the car now,

Let me out!

You understand?

Let me out!

Stop!

It's coming.

I have a bad feeling

- about you.
- It's coming.

Look!

I've got a bad feeling about you!

- Look, it's coming!
- I have a bad feeling

- about you!
- Just turn around

- and look at it!
- I've got a bad feeling

about you!

Get out!

Get out, clear off!

Will our souls carry the void

and beyond again?

Mmm, big question.

Very big question.

You're listening to Echo
Radio's Sleepy Saturdays.

It's Saturday, the 12th
of November, I'm Jim Jets.

Now, with your evening news.

Echo Valley police are
investigating this morning's

discovery of a body on
the side of Highway 11,

just past the Echo Valley exit.

The body has been identified as that

of missing teen, Hester Black.

It's thought Hester was
struck down by a speeding car

at around sunset last...

This spring's record
breaking drought continues

with a sunny Sunday on the horizon

and still no sign of rain.
