Episode 11

Cuts to a large ocean map and highlights the positions of the four boats with the contestants names.

Johnny Paradis'
"Lets fast forward three days and there's not much to separate any of the teams Carl and Sami still hold a slight lead but Kurt and Lucy are catching them up, and there is nothing in it between Jack and Brian and Derrick and Katherine they need to get a move on or it could be the end of the road for one of them, is your team lagging behind why not send them a message of support. You know they'll appreciate it."

Cuts back to Johnny.

Johnny Paradis'
"Seems like it's getting a bit boring a bit quiet just a leisurely sail across the Indian ocean. Give our guys a chance to relax take it easy well, all thats about to change. Lets cross back to Brian and Jack."

Applause and cheers from the audience. Cuts to footage of a crowded boat then Brian and Jack. Both of them have their ipads. The people on the boat have been there three days now a tarp is stretched out to give some shade. The pictures really conveys the conditions on the boat after a few days. They all look very tired stressed, haunted, scared. Shots from the contestants point of view. For a good few minutes the camera just looks round the boat.

Johnny Paradis'
"Brian and Jack, there have been a few developments since we last spoke."

Jack
"Thats right Johnny about four hours ago we had a plane fly low over us passed us then came back round a couple of times."

Cuts to vision of an airforce plane flying over the boat then back to the contestants. Pictures from the boat and from the plane. Newsreel footage used of a real boat. Jack and Brian are holding ipads.

Brian
"We know they saw us I suppose a lot of it will depend on if they have boats in the area. We're sure it's the Australians we're just going to have to try to outrun and outsmart them."

Johnny Paradis'
"Do you have a plan of action or are you just going to sail by the seat of your pants?"

Brian
"Our first thought was to change course try and throw them off that way. Zig zag around and lose them."

Jack
"Then we thought that's just what they will think we would do and we can't afford the time. So we're going as fast as we can."

Johnny Paradis'
"You think that's going to work?"

Brian
"Thats all we can do at this point its make or break for us."

Johnny Paradis'
"It sure seems like it best of luck guys."

Brian
"Thanks Johnny."

Jack
"We're still in this it's not over yet, and there is no way I'm going to let them two beat me."

Cuts back to studio. Applause and cheers from the audience.

Johnny Paradis'
"Those guys are still giving it their all I wonder if that will be enough? Or are they up a certain creek without the proverbial paddle ha,ha,ha,ha? Only time will tell....And once time has told us I guarantee you will be the first to know, actually I know something you don't they are in a whole lot worse trouble than they thought ha,ha,ha,ha lets to cross over to Natarsha Metsacker on board HMAS Bundaberg Rum."

Applause and cheers from the audience. Cuts to the deck of the ship of the ship. Lots of activity sailors moving around doing sailor stuff preparing smaller boats to launch. Goes to the bridge of the ship.

Natarsha Metsacker
"Thanks Johnny. I'm on board HMAS Bundaberg Rum with Captain Napoleon Howard, Captain Howard the ship has become a hive of activity can you give us an update."

Captain Howard
"Certainly Natarsha Metsacker earlier on we received a report from a reconnaissance plane of a suspect boat to our west. The plane confirmed that it was an overcrowded boat carrying people trying to gain entry to Australia. Or as we call them SIEVs. We are on a course to intercept them in the next hour or so. No-one gets past us."

Natarsha Metsacker
"We know that one of our teams Brian and Jack are on board that boat."

Captain Howard
"I'm sorry to hear that Natarsha but their trot around the globe has ended and we're going to catch the rest of them too no doubt about that, as I said no-one gets past the crew of the
Bundaberg. Since they were spotted by our plane we've been tracking them they don't have a chance."

Natarsha Metsacker
"You heard Captain Howard, Johnny, looks like it's going to be coastguards one Globetrotters nil."

Cuts back to studio. Applause and cheers from the audience.

Johnny Paradis'
"I wouldn't count them out just yet, though that captain does seem mighty confident. Lets have a look at our satellite map and see how everyone is doing."

Applause and cheers from the audience. Cuts to a satellite map showing the positions of the four contestants boats and the naval ship.

Johnny Paradis'
"Sami and Carl still have a slight lead over Kurt and Lucy but they are closing the gap....Their experience may well be giving them an advantage as they look to sail into the final three. Derrick and Katherine are still lagging behind but are beginning to make up some ground on the others why do we say ground when they are at sea? Now there's something to ponder on, anyhow the real story of the moment is this, just have a look how close the Coast Guard are to Jack and Brian they really are in trouble. Sorry guys but that does'nt look good, they really are gaining on you."

Cuts back to the boat with Jack and Brian. Shot from the people on board the boat. Looking back towards the contestants gives the feeling of how cramped it is and uncomfortable. Lots of bobbing up and down as the boat moves through the waves.

Johnny Paradis'
Isn't that a great shot folks? That's our hidden cameraman Phil who's on board the ship. Can you spot him? I can't, but I can make him known to us he can hear me. Phil scratch your
head so we can see where you are."

Cuts to a shot of the boat from the contestants point of view one of the men scratching his head.

Johnny Paradis'
"Phil can't see us but we can hear him, Phil what is like on the boat after nearly four days.
Shot from where Phil is on the boat we have his view of his surroundings."

Phil
"This is absolute hell Johnny, it's hot crowded no room to move people have been ill since we left and this boat, I haven't felt safe the whole time. It creaks makes funny noises just doesn't feel right. I don't know what these peoples stories are but they must be really desperate no- one in their right mind would do this, its insanity. This is an absolute nightmare and I know it's a cliche but this is a floating hell. I'll be glad when we get through this one....I think I'll need a holiday after this."

Johnny Paradis'
"I think we all will Phil, I think we all will. This is just getting all too exciting."

First sight of the naval ship approaching. Causes panic on the boat.

Johnny Paradis'
"Do you see what I see ahoy there. Is that the navy? I think it is, prepare to repel boarders."

Phil
"I think it is too. And to be honest I'm glad to see them I want off this boat."

Cuts back to Jack and Brian.

Jack
"Can you see that it's a ship?"

Brian
"I can see it and they can see us, it's over Jack. Done and dusted buddy."

Jack
"We can still outrun them I know we can."

Brian
"This thing is not going to outrun that, we may as well make it easy, we're done."

Jack
"She beat me that bitch beat me I don't believe it, she beat me."

Brian
"They beat us, they played us and they beat us. We're through. I just hope they run them down too."

Cuts to naval vessel smaller boats being lowered heavily armed man aboard. Shows them moving towards the boat at high speed. Natarsha Metsacker is on one of the boats.

Natarsha Metsacker
"I'm on board one of the high speed boats that have run down our contestants, and we are about to come alongside their boat. Unless Jack and Brian can really pull something out of their hat their trot around the globe is over, I can see them they we are going to be escorted over to them so we can get their reactions first hand."

Cuts to the sailors boarding the boat again really shows the conditions on the boat the overcrowding etc and the condition of the boat. People on the boat are panicking some jump or fall into the water. The sailors slowly get all the people from the boat and transfer them back to the ship. Newsreel footage and aerial shots of the boat. Filmed from the contestants point of view as well.

Sailor 1
"Hey look it is them at the back of the boat? We got the guys from Globetrotters. Look at them over there."

Sailor 2
"G'day fellas, wow you going?...We got them just like we said we would."

Sailor 3
"Sorry fellas just doing our job you know, it's nothing personal."

Jack
"Nothing we can do to come sort of an arrangement is there?"

Sailor 2
"No sorry mate we can't help you there your trot round the globe is over. Hey I got to say it!"

Brian
"Are you sure there is nothing we can do? We've got cash."

Sailor 1
"No mate we can't, you've got to come with us back to the Bundy. Hey reckon we'll be on TV?"

Sailor 2
"Mate bound to be, this is as good as it gets. Fuck I love this job."

Jack and brian board the same boat as Natarsha Metsacker she interviews them as they go back to the naval ship.

Natarsha Metsacker
"Jack, Brian congratulations on a really well run race you made it to the final four and you're both still alive which is no small feat as you well know. How are you feeling right now?"

Brian
"Very, very disappointed we could've won this if we'd had just a little bit of luck. I mean these guys won't even takea bribe. I'm just finding it very hard to come to terms with this."

Jack
"It's hard to have come so far, you know been through so much to not get through now is very hard. I feel like I've let so many people down."

Natarsha Metsacker
"Well you can take heart that you gave it your best and on the plus side the penalties for this offence are not that bad. Why it's only a maximum 10 years guys."

Jack
"We were on Globetrotters this is for television, youtube, the real rules don't apply, I mean we're doing this so the folks back home are entertained, I'm sure the media will come to our aid. After all this is show biz. It's not like we are full time people smugglers or anything."

Natarsha Metsacker
"I'm sure you are right Jack and all that will be taken into consideration."

Brian
"We'll be fine, I'm not worried at all no matter what happens to us it can only be good. And that can never be a bad thing, like they say all publicity is good publicity. Now thats an Adventure!"

Natarsha Metsacker
"Indeed it has been."

The smaller boat arrives at the ship. Hoisted up sailors crowd around to see the contestants as the boat people are herded away processed on board etc.

Crew
"Aussie,Aussie,Aussie OI OI OI Aussie OI Aussie OI Aussie, AussieAussie….O,OI,OI."

Natarsha Metsacker
"Just look at the reception these guys are getting!'

Captain Howard greets Jack and Brian personally as they get on board.

Captain Howard
"Gentlemen may I say on behalf of myself and the crew it's a privilege and an honour to have been the ones to have brought your trot around the globe to an end."

Jack
"Yeah, thanks you couldn't have gone after one of the other boats."

Brian
"How much did Kurt give you to come after us I wouldn't put anything past that bastard."

Captain Howard
"You never stood a chance once our plane spotted you, please believe me when I say its nothing personal it's a job."

Natarsha Metsacker
"That gives us our final three Jack and Brian are out of the race but as you can see they are a very popular team, I'm sure they'll be able to take full advantage of that fact once they
get home. Back to you Johnny."

Cuts back to studio, applause and cheers from the audience.
