Episode 12

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

Johnny Paradis'
"Those guys are superstars already just hope the can turn their trial into the main event. Best of luck guys you've been great! You've really lived up to our motto NOW THATS AN ADVENTURE! Anyway we have no time to dwell on the past. By good luck or good management we're not sure which Derrick and Katherine are nearly on Australian soil a small island in the middle of the ocean but it's land and its Australian territory and that's what they must reach to complete the challenge and that's all that matters to us.Derrick and Katherine! Land ahoy ha,ha,ha,ha."

Cuts to their boat close to rocks. Big swell. The people on board are beginning to panic. Newsreel footage used.

Derrick
"Thats right we are so close I can almost touch it. We're just going round to a bay where we can land."

Katherine
"Couldn't have happened at a better time really as the engine just quit so we are just letting the ocean bring us in."

Cuts to people near the rocks shouting and waving trying to warn them. Filmed from the
contestants points of view. Newsreel footage used.

Katherine
"And just look at that all those people coming down to meet us."

Johnny Paradis'
"Thats just great guys. But you are getting very close to those rocks not too sure if that boat will bounce considering its made of wood and those rocks are made of....rocks."

Cuts to the recent footage of the boat crashing into the rocks at Christmas Island. People in the water. The people on the rocks trying to help. Small boats trying to pull people from the water. Lots of film from the contestants point of view. The people on the boat are panicing.

Johnny Paradis'
"Oh my I don't know if I can watch. Who am I kidding? Of course I can, Ouch that has got to hurt Katherine and Derrick are really in a spot of bother now, I think I just saw our guys jump into the water I hope they are following safety procedures and have a life vest on. Safety on the water should always be a priority."

Helicopter lands has shows logo on it Globetrotters. Cuts back to studio.

Johnny Paradis'
"Just look at that folks we are on the scene already thanks to our tracking systems and thanks to OmniCam....Whatever you see we see. Lets go back to the island and see what our man on the ground Chris Henderson can tell us."

Cuts back to island shows more of the boat crashing onto the rocks. Aerial footage as well as newsreel.

Chris Henderson
"Thanks Johnny, this is sensational television I don't knowhow many are going to survive, there are a lot of people already in the water some are clinging onto the boat as it gets pounded on the rocks. The locals are trying to save as many people as they can the navy is here as well alongside the locals in boats all doing an amazing job of trying to save these people and risking their own lives in the process. No one knows what has happened to our contestants at this stage, all I can say it doesn't look good for them if they get out of the water the authorities are waiting for them. I think their trot around the globe is coming to an end one way or another. But it really does make for some great viewing. One of the locals here with me. This is a terrible tragedy what are your thoughts?"

Shows Chris standing next to a local man. He's middle aged. Can see other locals in the background taking pictures and filming the boat.

Local
"It's just terrible....All those poor people they've got no chance in that water they'll be smashed to bits on the rocks, we tried and we're still trying to save as many as possible but there is only so much we can do....It's just awful."

Chris Henderson
"Did you know that two of our contestants were on board that boat?"

Local
"Really which ones? Was it Carl and Sami? I really like them."

Chris Henderson
"No it was Katherine and Derrick."

Local
"Oh really, that's a shame I really like Carl and Sami I'd love to meet them, but I suppose its good they aren't here else they would be in real trouble. I don't like Katherine and Derrick much, glad they aren't going to win now, be lucky if they make it out at all."

Chris Henderson
"Thanks for your time."

Cuts to Katherine being dragged from the ocean images from her cameras.

Katherine
"Thank god....I thought I was going to die, where's Derrick?"

Cuts back to studio. Audience going wild.

Johnny Paradis'
"Well, that's Katherine safe and sound we can't get any images at the moment from Derrick maybe his jacket went down with the boat hopefully he didn't as well ha,ha,ha,ha, anyway what that means folks is we have our final two if they both land in Australia and avoid capture by the authorities. Who'd of thought we would lose two teams in this challenge, not me, thats for sure. Now lets see where are other two teams are."

Cuts to satellite map showing the two teams boats both very close to shore.

Johnny Paradis'
"Those guys have made great progress both nearly on shore and we have teams rushing to them even as we speak. Lets check in on them.Do you want to? I know you do? And more importantly I do and it is my show, lets cross to Rory Chambers."

Cuts to Carl and Sami as they reach the shore. People jumping off the boat huge empty beach. As they are pulling the boat ashore a helicopter lands. Globetrotters logo on the side. Camera crew and reporter jump out and run down to Carl and Sami.

Rory Chambers
"Carl and Sami you've made it you are the first team to reach land without the authorities catching you! You must be very pleased with that?"

Carl
"Thats just great I knew we could do it."

Sami
"There's no stopping us now!"

Rory Chambers
"And for coming first in this round you've won $500,000 each thanks to Coyote Media. How good is that?"

Sami
"Wow thats amazing! Thank-you Globetrotters, and a real big thank-you to Coyote Media."

Carl
"Really? That is just sensational!"

Rory Chambers
"Well I have one more bit of news for you so far this round two teams have been eliminated, and you know what that means? You are into the final! Congratulations!"

Sami and Carl jump up and down.

Rory Chambers
"Now we really have to be getting away from here and get you guys to your next destination on Globetrotters now thats an adventure! Back to you Johnny."

They run to the helicopter which takes off leaving all the boat people standing around looking confused. Pans out to show the the bush andscrub and the size of Australia there is nothing no signs of humans anywhere. Shows the boat people getting smaller and smaller as they fly away. Then cuts back to the studio.

Johnny Paradis'
"Thanks Rory we have our first finalists for this series and its Carl and Sami, they really have worked hard to get there and how about that prize a cool half million each how awesome is that? And don't worry folks we'll let the authorities know where these illegal boat people are, hey lets hear it for them what great....And may I say very, very cheap....Extras they made."

Applause and cheers from the audience.
