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.
