Scenes
Carmen (Maruschka Detmers) helps stage her own kidnapping. She is tied to her "captor" at the wrist when they stop at a gas station and she says "I have to piss." He insists that they use the men's room, and she drops her panties and lifts her skirt and sits on one of the urinals as another man watches. The audio is very faint and lasts 20 seconds or so, and the camera does not linger on her after she sits down.
