Episode 19

Cuts back to the front of their hotel as Carl and Sami get into a van. Inside are the same three men as before and two young boys about 12 or 13 years old. Both the boys are holding guns and grenades.

Carl
"Whats this a family day trip brought the kids along for the ride, has someone packed a picnic?"

1st Man
"Thats very funny, if only you knew. But you're going to find out these two, they are our best. They go where others can't. Between them they have killed more than 30 men I would choose my words and actions with them carefully."

Sami
"Are you for real these are killers they should be playing with an xbox not an uzi."

1st Man
"Killing is all they know, they grow with it, its in their blood and we want you to accompany them to a restaurant that we know some people will be at, its simple you walk in with the boys and start shooting at everyone everything. No one will suspect you, you will be fine the boys are with you all will be good, trust me."

Sami
"This is a joke right, you can't be serious these two kids are going to help us shoot up a restaurant."

1st Man
"You seem more concerned about the kids than those we want you to kill."

Carl
"We don't care about them its about us, we want to make sure we get to win and like they say never work with children or animals."

2nd Man
"Here are your weapons. We will park a short walk from the restaurant it's an open cantina. You walk up and you start to shoot. Keep the guns behind you as you walk."

The van stops at a corner.

1st Man
"Walk to the end of this street and turn right at the corner on your left about 50 meters up the road you will see the place."

2nd man to the boys said in Spanish they both nod.

1st Man
"You know where it is don't you boys?"

1st Man
"Walk up to it slowly when you are a few yards away start shooting its simple."

Sami
Easy for you to say.

Carl
"Lets just do it and get on with the challenge. Fuck this is really pushing me to my limits. But I fucking love it. Just fucking love it."

Carl, Sami and the two boys get out of the van. All of them carrying guns. They walk around the corner and up a dusty looking street. Can hear music and laughter coming from an open courtyard which is the restaurant. They walk up to the entrance as they do so one of the boys throws a grenade into the restaurant and they all open fire. Chaos ensues people running screaming trying to get away from the hail of bullets. They continue firing until they run out of ammunition. The two boys throw grenades in then they all turn and run back to the van.

Sami
"Oh my god I've never felt so alive."

Carl
"I can't believe we just did that….That was amazing! Unbelievable!"

2nd Man
"See we told you it was easy, we'll take you back to your hotel. On Thursday morning we'll pick you up. You have a couple of days to relax now take in the joys of Mexico be a tourist."

Cuts back to the studio."

Johnny Paradis'
"This just gets better and better folks on the one show mass slaughter and decapitations ! What other show would give you this ? If you have the answer please keep it to yourself ha,ha,ha,ha no ones interested. Bill and Stacey what do you think about all this?"

Cuts back to the hospital room.

Bill
"Well Johnny I just wish we had a chance like those guys to prove ourselves."

Stacey
"These two teams are amazing. I mean both of them really have what it takes to win I'm just so impressed, I'm speechless I really am."

Johnny Paradis'
"Luckily I'm not because I'm the host of the show, thanks for your input guys I think we all agree these two teams are something special. Nothing is going to stop them from competing. We're going to see something very, very special in this final I can tell. We're going to briefly check in with our contestants and see how they feel."

Cuts to Kurt and Lucy in a bar having a drink. They speak with Johnny via their ipads. Images are broadcast onto the giant video screen in the studio.

Johnny Paradis'
"Well hello there guys how are you feeling after completing that little assignment for the cartel it was so good to see you not lose your heads ha,ha,ha,ha."

Kurt
"But we made sure they did didn't we ha,ha but seriously Johnny we're feeling really good really positive. I've never done anything like that in my life before that was really something I can tell you."

Lucy
"There was a moment there where I thought he wasn't going to do it but we both came through with flying colours. Carl and Sami had better watch out we're coming to get the big one. Ain't nothing or no one going to stop us. Not now, not after that."

Cuts back to Johnny.

Johnny Paradis'
"I can believe that. Lets just quickly check in with Carl and Sami and see how they are.
Johnny walks back toward the giant video screen. Cuts to Carl and Sami sitting in a bar with the two young boys. They speak with Johnny via their ipads. Images are broadcast onto the giant video screen in the studio. The two boys sit there staring emotionlessly forward."

Johnny Paradis'
"Hi, Carl and Sami, and hi to your two new friends. How is everything going now?"

Carl
"We're great Johnny really excited and relived that this part of the challenge is over and we are just really looking forward to Thursday thats when the real test begins."

Sami
"Weren't these two little guys great once you see them in action you know why the cartel holds them in such high esteem. We thought the least we could do for them is take them out and buy them lunch they won't take any money from us but we have ordered them ipads."

Johnny Paradis'
"And are you ready for Thursday? Have you got your games faces on?"
Sami
"Oh we're ready alright, its game on and we are going to give it everything we're ready."

Cuts back to Johnny in the studio.

Lucy
"Where exactly are we going? And what are you going to get us to do?"

Hector
"Where we are going is not important. You are going to meet a man who will ask you to do something, you say yes or you say no to his offer you are safe you have our word."

Kurt
"We trust you, we just like to know whats going on thats all."

Antonio
"You'll find out soon enough."

Car pulls up outside a warehouse they all get out and go in. They walk through a few rooms men with guns watch them go past.

Antonio
"These are the people we spoke to you about."

Man
"Welcome, my friends here have spoken to me about your position and your game I am willing to help you but at a price."

Lucy
"We haven't got much money and you said we couldn't just bribe you."

Man
"I never mentioned money, come with me please."

They all walk through to another section of the warehouse tied to chairs are four men. Several other men are standing around with guns.

Man
"They are my price."

Lucy
"What?"

Man
"The price of trust is their lives, their heads on a stick, on a plate I don't care you do that for me I will help you if you don't want to do that then we will say good bye."

Lucy
"What the fuck!"

Man
"Please don't swear bad language offends me."

Kurt
"You seriously want us to cut their heads off?"

Man
"They are Federal Police placing their heads around town sends a message to all those who think the police can protect them, when we are the real power here."

Kurt
"Look I don't give a fuck....sorry, didn't mean to swear, about killing people I'm ex military but...."

Man
"Their heads and I will help."

Lucy
"Oh sweet Jesus!...And what am I going to cut his fucking head off with my fingernails?"

Hector walks forward with two small chainsaws.

Hector
"We find that these do the job well."

Lucy
"Give me that."

The men standing around make comments as she takes the chainsaw. The chainsaws are already on.

Antonio
"Take their hoods off let them look each other in the eye."

Lucy
"Are you just going to stand there Kurt or are you going to help? Two each fifty, fifty all the way thats what we said. Don't let me down now."

Kurt takes a chainsaw from hector walks in front of the men with Lucy. Their hoods are pulled off. The men start pleading in Spanish.

Lucy
"It's nothing personal it's just business....Oh I've always wanted to say that, it just sounds so cold and heartless."

Lucy starts her chainsaw walks forward and puts the blade to the mans neck he's screaming she pauses a second then cuts his head off blood splatters the other men scream without a pause she beheads the second man their heads roll on the floor.

Lucy
"Your turn are you for real Kurt cos if I kill them all I take all the money, you hear I'm not joking."

Kurt
"Yeah ok."

Kurt walks forward the two men tied to the chairs are screaming and crying. Kurt stands there and pauses. He shouts and cuts the two mens heads off.

Kurt
"Globetrotters!"

Man
"I didn't think you would do it didn't think you had the nerve, I'm impressed. You two really mean what you say."

Lucy stands and shouts pointing the chainsaw at the men.

Lucy
"Told you, and you, and you, told you all nothing I won't do to win this game."

Man
"So it would appear, on Thursday morning we will collect you from the hotel and you will be able to help with the transport of our merchandise."

Kurt
"Thank you so much you don't know what this means to us."

Man
"Oh, I think I do."

Cuts back to the studio cheers and applauses.

Johnny Paradis'
"Wow what can I say? I'm just blown away, that really took some determination. Beheadings with a chainsaw I don't think anyone is going to misconstrue their intentions and the message that sends, we've seen a lot on this show but that really tops the lot. That was just sensational! Folks I'm almost lost for words, but not quite ha,ha,ha,ha lets see what some of our previous contestants think, Jack."

Cuts back to the detention centre Jack, Katherine and Brian.

Jack
"I'm like you Johnny I'm stunned you can see why I married Lucy now can't you she is one gutsy lady. I knew all along she would be able to do anything that was asked of her."

Johnny Paradis'
"And you are still going to divorce her and go after half her money if she wins having just witnessed that?"

Jack
"Oh yes Johnny I'm going to divorce her I want her to win, I want to take her for as much as I can. No one double crosses me and gets away with it, no one."

Johnny Paradis'
"You're a braver man than me thats all I have to say after seeing that I'd be getting divorced on her terms and very happily too ha,ha,ha,ha. Be careful Jack you don't want to lose your head along with your other assets. Brian what are you thinking?"

Brian
"To be honest I'm surprised they were able to go through with it they've both gone up in my estimation of them, I still think they're scum but they've got what it takes. I suppose in a tight corner you'd want them on your side."

Johnny Paradis'
"I fully understand what you are saying Brian. They may have double crossed you guys but they seem to have what it takes. Things are moving along for Carl and Sami, lets see what they are up to shall we?I say yes, yes, yes I can't wait a moment longer the suspense is killing me."

Cuts to Sami and Carl with three men in a hotel room. Two of the men are very hard looking men one is very big muscular. The other is smaller and vicious looking. The largest of the men says nothing.

1st Man
"We have reached a decision after speaking with our boss."

Carl
"You aren't going to let us do it, are you ? Look what can I do...."

1st Man
"I said we've reached a decision nothing else now, listen to me there is something you can do for us."

Sami
"Anything we'll do anything we want you to have faith in us treat us like you would any one else who works for you."

Carl
"Thats right anything just name it."

1st Man
"Really anything, well we will see we'll see what you are willing to do and what you are capable of doing."

2nd Man
"We have a job for you, there are certain people who work for another organisation. We can't get close to them but you can."

Sami
"Get close to them and do what."

Carl
"Whatever they tell us to do thats what we'll do."

2nd Man
"We want these people out of our way....Do you understand what I mean? By doing this for us you will gain our trust it will make you like one of us."

Sami
"Are you asking us to kill someone?"

1st Man
"We are asking you to complete a small favour for us and in return we will assist you in what you want to complete you won't be going alone two of our best men will go with you and make sure everything goes ok."

2nd Man
"You will be in no danger no one will suspect you, you will be able to get very close to them and then you can kill as many of them as you can."

Carl
"We can do this, we will do this always said nothing we wouldn't do to win and this is really going to prove it."

Sami
"Is there anything else we can do, surely there must be something else, and if you can't close to these people why are two of your guys coming with us."

1st Man
"The choice is yours this is our offer take it or leave it."

Carl
"This is it step up or step the fuck off....If we want to stay in the game and win we have to do this, we don't have any other choice."

Sami
"I know, I know doesn't make it any easier though....I want to win, I said there wasn't anything I wouldn't do we'll do it you just show us where and when."

Carl
"Thank you so much, you don't know what this means to us. We won't let you down I promise you that."

1st Man
"We will contact you tomorrow and go through the details. You will have a couple of days to enjoy our beautiful city before you must do this little thing for us. You do it well and on
Thursday you will cross the border with what is required for you to win your game I assume you both know how to use a gun?"

Carl
"Yes, don't worry about us we're both gun club members and I love to go hunting when I can."

All three men start laughing.

2nd Man
"Gun club that is very funny....We'll be back tomorrow Mr and Mrs gun club. You can go hunting my friend see what you catch eh."

Cuts back to the studio.

Johnny Paradis'
"Well done Carl and Sami, you guys are really going to get the chance to live up to your word. That takes strength and moral fortitude it really shows how dedicated our contestants are folks in their pursuit for fame and fortune, You guys embody all that is good with this show and whats good in our society."

Applause and cheers from the audience.

"Lets see what some of our former contestants think of this Tommy and Sarah how do you see things shaping up?"

Cuts to Tommy and Sarah in the studio.

Tommy
"I'm really impressed with them that wouldn't be easy to do but they've really stepped up. But I suppose they have to do it yet. Until then its all words it's their actions that are going to count."

Sarah
"I don't know if I could do it, I mean thats a big ask I'm just glad I'm not in their position. They have such a difficult choice make. I don't envy them at all."

Johnny Paradis'
"Thats why it's the final Sarah it's not meant to be easy, Adam and Simon what do you think?"

Cuts to the Sudanese prison cell.

Adam
"What a challenge in the first place and now what a twist on it this is why I love this show Johnny! You just never know what to expect."

Simon
"I just want to wish them well and that I'm sure they'll do us all proud."

Johnny Paradis'

Episode 16

Applause and cheers from the audience. Cuts to a hotel room with Kurt and Lucy and two men. Antonio and Hector.

Kurt
"Look their isn't anything we won't do to help you get your, your cargo across the border, we don't care what it is or for who it's for, we just have to be able to help you. This is our lives we are talking about."

Lucy
"Thats right you just tell us what we need to do or how much we need to pay you, we don't want anything more than to help you in your endeavours and complete this challenge."

Hector
"It is not a matter of money with us. So don't insult us by trying to offer us a few thousand dollars. I watch the show you have what $30- $40,000 left that is nothing to us, this watch cost $20,000."

Antonio
"For us we need to know we can trust you and those cameras they are all switched off as agreed? We don't want to be on television in our line of work it's not a good idea to have people knowing what we look like."

Voiceover.

Johnny Paradis'
"Oh dear I suppose these guys should know the cameras are never off but I don't think now is the right time to tell them I think they may get a little bit upset."

Kurt
"Of course they are, do you think we would do anything to put this at risk this is our one chance at getting at what we want."

Hector
"Trust me if you do anything to put our operation at risk it will be the last thing you do. We'll nail your heads to the border crossing, am I making myself clear?"

Kurt
"We know what's at stake here, There's no way we would do anything to piss you guys off I promise you."

Lucy
"We want this to succeed more than you do, trust me this is everything to us."

Antonio
"Thats the whole point we don't know if we do or can trust you I mean why should we?"

Kurt
"What can we say or do to prove to you, you can trust us? You tell us what it is and consider it done."

Antonio and Hector whisper to each other in spanish.

Hector
"Maybe there is something you can do so that there is trust between us."

Kurt
"You name it we'll do it."

Antonio
"We will talk with you again tomorrow, we have to speak with certain people you will know tomorrow."

Lucy
"Anything you want us to do just like Kurt said you can consider it done and I mean that anything at all."

Hector
"We shall see until tomorrow goodbye, for now."

Antonio and Hector leave.

Lucy
"We've got to convince them somehow I can't believe they would doubt us we're on Globetrotters for fucks sake, this is for television, the internet it's not just for us. There has to be something we can do to make them help us."

Kurt
"Well, they haven't said no yet I wonder what they might say to us tomorrow. I couldn't catch what they were saying."

Lucy
"That's if they ever come back, oh man I think we're screwed it can't just end like this, it just can't we can't come this far and not walk away with it all."

Kurt
"They have to Lucy they just have to, but right now I need food and a drink come on lets go eat."

Lucy
"Ok not much else we can do is there, no, on second thoughts I'll stay here."

Kurt
"Do you think I'm leaving you on your own I've seen what you are capable of, no you are sticking with me. You fucked Jack over. You ain't going to fuck me over."

Lucy
"Oh but you are paranoid."

Cuts back to the studio.

Johnny Paradis'
"Looks like Kurt and Lucy are going to be kept waiting, I wonder what Hector and Antonio were alluding to? Do you think they will even get to attempt the challenge? Why don't you let us know on our online poll and while you are on our site why don't you go to our online store and pick out a gift for that someone special. If you ask me these ties look great and just for the kids we are so happy and proud to announce our new Globetrotters kids club it's only $50 a year. How can you say no to that? You know you can't."

Cuts to ties which have Johnny's face on them, Globetrotter logo. Turns to a different camera.
But right now we are going to cross to Sami and Carl and we'll see how they are getting on.
Cuts to a black screen voices can be heard in the background.

"Well,well,well it appears that this naughty, naughty couple have taken off their hats and jackets and stuffed them in a bag we have sound but no vision for you. So we aren't going to bore you with a black screen and indistinct voices, what we can tell you is that the games adjudicator is looking at the rules to see if this is so serious that they may be eliminated. A mitigating factor was the threat of death if they filmed the negotiators for the cartel and I'm sure that will be taken into consideration. They are however, in the same position as Kurt and Lucy in that the cartels have not agreed at this point to allow them to participate in their operations these guys are really big on trust aren't they? This is television how can they not trust the media? And they really should take into account we have a show to put on. Just think of the children and how disappointed they will be if we don't have a challenge. Come on guys do it for the children. I'm begging you. But don't worry folks we have a back up plan if they don't get to compete in this challenge. Remember though, this is Globetrotters and we've never and I repeat never, failed to have a challenge undertaken by our contestants. Some of them have ended up with the undertaker afterwards where they've been undertaken ha,ha,ha,ha. Get it ?Anyway it's a new day in Mexico lets cross to our contestants and see, I hope you are listening Carl and Sami no hiding the cameras this time you have been warned and given one more chance, just how much progress has been made by our two teams."

Tune in same Globetrotter time same Globetrotter channel.
