Episode 9

Cuts to sunrise over an Indonesian beach. A beautiful sunrise, picturesque surroundings. Against the back drop of a very poor village or town. Stray dogs and animals run down housing.

Johnny Paradis'
"Our first couple are about to head off lets see whats happening with Carl and Sami."

Carl
"Where is he, he said sunrise he's late. If that fucker has ripped us of! I swear I'll kill him."

Sami
"Just calm down will you, he'll be here. I don't know why but I think we can of trust him."

Carl
"You trust him?"

Sami
"Look is that him, over there, see I told you we could trust him."

Carl
"Yeah, well I'll trust him once we get to the other side not before."

An Indonesian man walks towards them.

Man
"Hellos.... Please me follow....I you boat....I there....Short journey boat....You come....Me now please."

They all get into a beat up old car. Which tears off along the road.

Carl
"Christ if you don't slow down we'll all be killed before we get anywhere near the boat."

Man
"All well....All well....Not far....Is near....Is near."

Sami
"This place would be so beautiful if they just got rid of all these slum houses and these people, if they just took a bit of pride in the place....I mean just look at all that rubbish, open sewers and those animals just walking around and shitting everywhere. It's disgusting it really is."

Carl
"Tell me about it, but its the smell oh my god, thats what really gets me."

Cuts to a beach a small fishing boat is tied there. A queue of people are getting onto the boat. The boat is already crowded. Three men usher the people on shouting at and pushing the people trying to get them to hurry up. Can hear children crying and people shouting at each other. The boat is already lying low in the water.

Man
"The boat....Ready soon....Soon....Not plenty people on boat....Plenties space."

Carl
"Plenty of space hate to see what they call crowded."

Sami
"Yeah I see what you mean....Is that thing safe?"

Man
"Oh safe, safe....Good boat....Use many time....Many time."

Sami
"Thats what I'm worried about how many times you've used it."

They walk up to the boat and get in at the back of the boat from where they can steer. The people on the boat are sitting down crammed in together some sit on the roof of a small cabin and a group towards the front of the boat are forced to stand. Filmed from the contestants point of view.

Man
"Very good boat....Plenty room you and you....You like."

Carl
"Yeah its great can you tell me where the casino and bar are located and do you do waiter service?"

Man
"Huh....We help you....For $5,000 more he with you....Very good on sea....Many years....He take there....Sail good....No problem."

Sami
"What he will drive the boat? What do you think Carl?"

Carl
"Its been a while since I drove a boat I mean I reckon I can do it but.... $2,500 thats what we'll pay not a penny more."

Man
"No,no....$4,500 big family....He's to feed."

Sami
"Thats too much, way, way too much. Offer him $3,500 and thats it no more than that you hear?"

Carl
"I'll sort this out! $3,500 thats all we can afford to pay."

Man
"$3,750 we deal or no?"

Carl
"Deal."

They shake hands. One of the men jumps into the boat . Old guy no teeth smiles and nods.Money exchanges hands. He doesn't speak any English. Carl and Sami get into the boat and it pulls off and heads out to sea. Riding low in the water. All the other people stare at them looking confused. Cuts back to studio and Johnny. Filmed from the contestants point of view.

Johnny Paradis'
"And our first contestants have put out to sea, hoist the mainsail and raise the anchor ha,ha,ha,ha rather them than me in that old tub, we'll have to see how they go. Will their leaving early prove to be an advantage? Only time will tell. As we know Kurt and Lucy have formed an alliance and have ditched their current partners lets see how Brian and Jack are taking the news."

Cuts to Jacks room he's throwing things around and generally smashing up the little furniture there is in the room. Filmed from Jacks point of view.

Jack
"Fucking bitch....Fucking bitch....I'll kill her and I'll kill him....Fucking Kurt you're dead you hear me!...Fucking dead!...You fucking bitch....I'll tear your fucking heads off!"

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

Johnny Paradis'
"Ha,ha,ha,ha looks like he's not taking that all too well doesn't it, oh well them's the breaks on Globetrotters. It's an old saying on this game but it holds as true today as it ever did....Jack....Come here....Listen I want to tell you a secret TRUST NO-ONE! Ha,ha,ha,ha, but I guess he's learning that lesson right now ha,ha,ha,ha wonder how Brian's doing?"

Cuts to Brian's room he's sitting on a bed looking at the note from Kurt. Filmed from his point of view.

Brian
"Well I would never, not in a million fucking years, thought he'd do that to me after all we've been through together why I pulled that son of a bitch from a burning Humvee, three tours of duty we did and he does this to me. He was like my brother, low life bastard. Suppose at least he left me this note. Still in this race gotta find Jack and get on that boat. Show that son of a bitch he's fucked over the wrong man."

Cuts to Jack walking up the street and banging on the door to Jacks room. Brian opens the door and lets him.

Jack
"You in there Brian....Brian....You seen what those two fucks have done to us! I can't believe that bitch has run off with that fucking asshole un-fucking-believable thats what it is un-fucking-believable."

Brian
"Now just calm down, look I'm just as pissed off with them as you are....But I think we shouldn't get mad we should get even."

Brian
"I'm going to fuck that prick over if it's the last thing I do, I swear it."

Jack
"Well I got a boat all worked out paid $23,000 and they are going to sail the boat all the way, all we got to do is sit back and relax and enjoy a few days at sea and then when we get to Australia I'm going to kill them two for fucking me over like that, it's me and you now buddy fifty, fifty all the way down the line."

Brian
"We'll get our own back on them two I promise you that. We'll show them. I want to win this more then ever now. What time we got to meet your man for the boat?"

Cuts back to the studio and Johnny.

Johnny Paradis'
"I'm sure Lucy and Kurt don't want to bump into those two right now boy have they got those guys angry. But I suppose they know that. Why don't we cross to them now and see how things are working out for them, I wonder if its all lovey dovey with our newest couple. Still if I were either of them I'd be watching the other like a hawk. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer still....Hey guys ha,ha,ha,ha."

Cuts back to another small village lots of small fishing boats pulled up on the beach. Late afternoon the sun is setting . There are spaced out along the beach three crowds of people wading out to three boats. Men and women carrying children and a few possessions in bundles on to the three boats. Men around the boats usher them on crowding them in. At about the same time three cars arrive one carrying Jack and Brian the other Kurt and Lucy the other one Derrick and Katherine.Cuts back to studio.

Johnny Paradis'
"Just look who's arrived all at the same time at the same place, I wonder how that could have happened? Sometimes everything just falls into place as if by magic....Of the mass media ha,ha,ha,ha I've got a feeling things are going to get interesting around here!

Cuts back to the beach where the two teams of Brian and Jack and Kurt and Lucy have noticed each other.

Jack
"You fucking bitch whore....Cunt....I'm going to fuck you up....I'll feed you to the sharks....you fucking...."

Brian grabs Jack and pulls him toward the boat.

Brian
"I told you don't get mad get even. Get on the fucking boat! Lets get out of here and win this fucking game. Now!"

Lucy
"Fuck you, you fucking loser you're going to drown asshole you and that other useless prick.
Jack gives Lucy the finger and gets on the boat."

Brian
"Don't look at those fucks lets just go and win."

Cuts to Kurt and Lucy's boat. Kurt is already on board. Shot from Kurt and Lucys' point of view.

Kurt
"Get on the fucking boat will you, lets see just how good a sailor you are you can take her out, concentrate on the game. There's been enough bullshit."

Lucy
"Well fuck you too I'll show you how to sail a boat Motherfucker!"

Kurt
"Yeah you just fucking might, because with an attitude like that you had better be able to."

Lucy
"Yeah right, asshole you can apologise later."

Kurt
Apologise my ass but I'll tell you something you've missed while you were chatting with Jack."

Lucy
"Oh you are just so, so, so funny Kurt so go on genius tell me what'd I miss."

Kurt
"You know what you have missed. Carl and Sami they aren't here....He reckons a boat left early this morning headed for Australia them fuckers are on it and they are eight or nine hours ahead of us, thats all I'm thinking about."

Cuts to Derrick and Katherine's' boat. They are both on board sitting at the back of the boat. Lots of shots from their point of view.

Derrick
"Well fuck me look whats going on over there my, my something big must have happened."

Katherine
"What I can't believe that Lucy is with Kurt you have got to be kidding, oh baby this has to give us an edge why they are going to be at each others throats."

Derrick
"Thats just what I thought but we still got to beat them over there it's not like we are on land and they can get to each other, I just hope its us and them two and either of the other teams in the next round....If its like that we've booked our place in the final I reckon."

Katherine
"So do I , so do I."

They quickly kiss and embrace.

Derrick
"You notice anything else?"

Katherine
"Anything else? What that this boat stinks, and I don't feel safe on it isn't that enough?"

Derrick
"Carl and Sami where are they did you see them? We all left from the same beach but not them. You think they got away before us?"

Derrick tries to talk with the man driving the boat.

Derrick
"Hey you....Yeah you ,have you seen another boat....boat two people dressed like us....Hats....You don't know what the fuck I'm saying do you?"

Man looks at him blankly and smiles nodding his head.

Katherine
"What you think they've already gone ? No, they can't have....Shit you must be wrong they haven't left yet no way!"

The last people get on board the small fishing ships before they can find a space the boats start to move 50 or 60 people on each one crammed in as tight as they can get. The contestants sit at the controls of the boats and have more room than all the others. The boats ride low in the water slowly they move out to sea as it begins to get dark.Lots of shots from the contestants point of view. Cuts back to the studio.
