Kurt
"Where the fuck are they?"
Lucy
"We've been here, ready for half an hour Christ I can't stand this waiting."
Loud bang on the shop door.
Male Voice
"Open up, Police."
More loud bangs as the police try to force the door open. The men inside shout in Spanish. Two of them check the tunnel. There are shouts in Spanish that there are more men coming up the tunnel. One of the men opens fire into the tunnel. The door of the shop breaks open police enter. One of the mexicans opens fire hitting two police officers they shoot back a gun battle ensues inside the shop. Kurt gets shot trying to run towards the police shouting he's on Globetrotters. Lucy attempts to get back to the tunnel as Mexican troops come out one of the Mexican drug dealers jumps down next to her and shoots at the troops who return fire killing them both.Police and troops swarm all over the premises.
Cuts to Johnny back in the studio.
Johnny Paradis'
"I can't believe it! So close and yet so far! That's such a pity, made for great TV though. What a way to go out! That'll going to be on our Christmas special for sure. All Sami and Carl have
to do now is get the money back and get out!"
Then cuts back to Sami and Carl as they come out of the tunnel with the bags.The boy follows them everywhere. The same men are standing around waiting for them.
Carl
"Here it is this is everything that they gave us. We didn't count it but it looks like its all there."
1st Man
"I would expect it to be, Youve done what was required of you, there are people from your show out there."
Sami
"Have we won? Have we won? Please tell us we can't have lost to them two, please tell me?"
2nd Man
"We don't know, I personally hope you have won you deserve to, you did well. If you ever need a job why don't you come down to the border towns, I'm sure we could put both of you to good use and you could earn some good money, just something to think about."
Carl
"Thanks we'll bear that in mind."
They walk outside where a Globetrotter helicopter is waiting for them. The boy still follows them. A reporter and film crew are waiting for them.
Chris Henderson
"Welcome guys! Well done on completing the challenge."
Carl
"Have we won?"
Chris Henderson
"We're going to go back to the studio to announce that Carl. Lets get going."
Sami
"You must be joking right we have to wait to find out if we won! Oh come on, thats just ridiculous tell me you asshole, have you any idea what we've had to do? Have you any idea what I'm capable of doing?"
Chris Henderson
"I'm afraid I can't do that, don't know its a secret."
Carl
"Come on lets just get the fuck out of here. Say goodbye to the kid."
Sami puts her arm round the boy.
Sami
"He's coming with us. I'm going to keep him. He's going to be my little souvenir from Mexico."
Chris Henderson
"I don't think we can do that Sami, he'll have to stay here, I don't even know if there will be room in the helicopter."
Carl
"Are you sure about this?"
Sami
"I want him more than anything else we can adopt him I mean how celebrity is that? How cool will that make us look? We'll be rescuing our own little killer Just think about it."
Carl
"Well when you put it like that, come on son lets go."
Sami takes the boy by the hand and they walk to the helicopter. The boy smiles but still doesn't say anything. The Mexican gangsters standing around laugh as they get on board the helicopter.
Pilot
"We don't have the room for anyone else the kid can't get on."
Chris Henderson
"See he can't come, Its very touching Sami and it really shows your maternal side...."
Sami kicks Henderson in the gut and knocks him out of the helicopter.
Sam
"Plenty of room now, Go! Are you fucking deaf go!"
The pilot shrugs and takes off leaving Henderson standing on the ground shouting. Cuts back to the studio.
Johnny Paradis'
"What an ending! What a series folks! We'll have them back here soon when we'll let them know that they've won. I bet the suspense is killing them. We're going to have a quick word with Natarsha Metsacker who is outside the shop where Kurt and lucy are, Natarsha, can you tell us whats happening there?"
Cuts to Natarsha Metsacker in the street outside the shop. The street is crowded with police and ambulances and people having a look at what has happened.
Natarsha Metsacker
"Hi Johnny I'm outside the shop where Kurt and Lucy's bodies are, and where their trot around the globe came to an end, I think we're all quite shocked at whats happened to them. What a way to end their adventure, I'm joined here by Captain Duke Curzon-Howe IV."
Captain Duke Curzon-Howe IV
"Told you we would get them. I'd sooner have had them in cuffs right now but sometimes if you play with fire you get burnt. And you know to make things worse what they brought over, or should I say under the border was worthless."
Natarsha Metsacker
"Worthless so even if they had survived they wouldn't have won the game."
Captain Duke Curzon-Howe IV
"Chances are if we hadn't of got them the buyers would have, told you this is a very dangerous game. We were tipped off by sources in Mexico."
Natarsha Metsacker
"Thank you Captain and keep up the good work. We're just going to ask a few of the bystanders what their thoughts are on this, excuse me sir did you know two contestants from Globetrotters are among the dead?"
Bystander
"What, oh really? Thats terrible news. Who was it in there?"
Natarsha Metsacker
They are both dead it was Kurt and Lucy.
Bystander
"OH what! Thats a shame I had $50 on them to win. Suppose my money is gone now. That means Sami and Carl have won. I knew I should have put some money on them. I just knew it."
Bodies are carried out on stretchers in the background.
Woman
"Well I'm glad they got what they deserve, they were just horrible. What that Lucy did to that lovely man Jack just awful. But it has been a great show this year."
Natarsha Metsacker
"Some mixed reactions down here Johnny only thing we can say for sure is that everybody has really enjoyed this series, back to you in the studio."
Cuts back to the studio.
Johnny Paradis'
"This has been the best series ever I've never been so excited. What a finale ! What a last couple of weeks its been for our contestants! And now ladies and gentlemen I give you the winners of Globetrotters Sami and Carl!"
Sami and Carl and Pedro walk out onto the set. The crowd are all on their feet cheering and clapping. Ticker tape women in bikinis. They are given bouquets of flowers.
Carl
"Hey Johnny hello everyone! Whoooo! Yesssssss! That was an adventure and no mistake!"
Sami
"We did it! We did it! That was the best fun Johnny! And not only did we win we got to save this wonderful young man."
Johnny Paradis'
"I must say I think you are very deserving winners. You're what's best in our society, Sami and Carl, I'm proud to say I know you. You took on every challenge head on and didn't take a backward step all the way. When it got tough you showed your true colours. You showed us that fame and fortune always come at a price. And heres your price $20,000,000! How good is that?"
They are handed a large novelty cheque.
Carl
"I just want to say thank you Johnny, thank you to all the wonderful people who have helped us along the way, all the other contestants, you guys were great, you really pushed us. And a really big thank you to Globetrotters! You don't know how important this was to us."
Sami
"I just want to thank all our friends and family for their support all the way through."
Johnny Paradis'
"What a final this has been! We've had gun fights decapitations does it get any better than this? And on another note we've seen how Globetrotters brings people together, just look at those guys with young Pedro. It's so sweet it nearly brings a tear to my eye. What a show! what a series! We're back next week folks with our highlights show. Thats something not to be missed! And don't you worry we'll be back next year bigger and better with another amazing series of Globetrotters. Lets hear it for our winners Sami and Carl! Fame and fortune are all yours! And don't you deserve it? Whats the catchphrase people?"
The audience starts chanting now thats an adventure. Contestants wave cuts to closing credits for Globetrotters.
"NOW THATS AN ADVENTURE! NOW THATS AN ADVENTURE! NOW THATS AN ADVENTURE!"

Episode 21
Johnny Paradis'
"I bet thats a lot harder than it looks. Just look at the sweat on those two. Why join the gym when you can push drugs up a tunnel thats the Globetrotters weight loss programme."
Turns to a different camera. We're going to leave them to it for now and see what Kurt and Lucy are up to.Cuts back to the warehouse where they are all still standing around. Hector is speaking on a phone.
Lucy
"When can we get started? We've been here for over an hour, I don't know if you are aware we are in a race. There's a lot at stake here. We really don't have too much time to spare. Don't want to be a pain but some of us are in a fucking rush!"
Kurt
"Whats the delay?"
Hector
"You can start now,there was a small problem, but it has been resolved.
Kurt
"Come on lets get started. We've wasted enough time already."
They begin loading the vacuum sealed bags onto trolleys pushing them up a narrow long tunnel. Semi dark lights hang from the roof. Its hot and sweaty in the tunnel. At the other end they pass the bags up to men waiting in an empty and shuttered shop. They go back and forth continually taking the bags. Cuts back to the studio.
Johnny Paradis'
"Both teams are hard at it now, Its Sami and Carl in the lead, they got going before Lucy and Kurt and they have the advantage in that they have less to transport across the border. The challenge stipulated $5,000,000 of contraband. We had no say over what they would be carrying over the border. Thems the breaks! I guess Kurt and Lucy are going to have to work twice as hard!"
Cuts back to Kurt and Lucy. They look hot and tired. Lucy looks around at the men standing around.
Lucy
"You could always help out you know it won't kill you."
Hector
"Why would we help ? You look like you are having so much fun."
Kurt
"Stop talking lets get back to it, we haven't got time to chat."
Lucy
"How about we pay two of your men half a million each from our winnings if they help us. With a little help we can do it. What'd you say?"
Antonio speaks to the men in Spanish offering them Lucy's deal. Two men respond quicker than the others and begin helping them get the packages over the border. Cuts back to Johnny in the studio.
Johnny Paradis'
"Smart move by Lucy, she knows how this game works, and she knows how to work people. Lets see if this evens things up. I do wonder though if they don't win what they are going to tell their brand new employees, somehow I think them saying sorry guys we've got no money isn't going to go down well."
Cuts to Sami and Carl. They have moved nearly all of the packages.
Johnny Paradis'
"And they're into into the home stretch. We just got word they are moving cocaine over the border and poor Kurt and Lucy got stuck with marijuana.I can imagine quite a few people will be fairly pleased that things aren't going all that well for them.They've got the last packages into the tunnel now and they are off over the border. For what could well be their last run.
Cuts back to Lucy and Kurt who with the help of the two men have moved nearly all the packages.
Johnny Paradis'
"They really are catching up now, this is getting to be too much, its so close. Somebody sedate me! I don't know about you but my heart is pounding!"
Cuts to Sami and Carl as they bring the last of the packages up the ladder into the garage. The boy is still with them. Filmed from their point of view.
Sami
"Thats it we're done, Send them a text. The sooner they get here the sooner we win!"
Carl
"All we got to do now is wait."
Sami
"He told us 20 minutes well the clock is ticking. Christ I hate waiting I just hope they hurry up. Shit I just thought do we have to count the money?"
Carl
"They said they trusted them I'm not counting the money. I'm just bringing it back and getting out of here as fast as I can!"
Cuts to Kurt and Lucy as they bring the last of the packages through the tunnel and up into the empty and shuttered shop. The two men who have helped them climb up the ladder into the shop.
1st Man
"Our money now."
Kurt
"When we win you get your money, now where are the buyers?"
The men standing around speak in Spanish.
Lucy
"What did they say? They're on their way aren't they? Don't they understand this's for tv? How many times do I have to say it? Just get me back to civilisation where people understand this shit!"
1st Man
"Soon they arrive, and we get our money."
Cuts back to Sami and Carl in the garage. There is a knock on the shutter door. One of the men opens it and a van drives in. Three men get out.
1st Man
"Where is the product?"
Sami
"Its over there."
The 1st man speaks to the other two in Spanish. One them goes over to the packages and opens one and takes small sample which he then tests. He nods his approval as to the quality. One of the men goes into the van and takes out two large bags which he opens to show them full of money. He hands them to Carl. They then start to load the packages into the van. The young boy goes through the bags checking it is all full of cash.
Carl
"Thats it we're done lets get back across the border, grab the cash lets go."
Sami
"I can't believe it this is the end we've done it I'm so proud of you Carl."
Carl
They pick up the bags and take them back down the tunnel. Cuts back to Kurt and Lucy in the shop.

Kurt
"So what is it? I want to know."
The two men say nothing.
Lucy
"Talkative pair aren't they? He asked you a question, its good manners to answer when somebody speaks to you didn't you mother teach you that?"
The two men say nothing. One turns round and looks at them with a look of disdain.
Lucy
"Ohhhh if looks could kill."
Kurt
"Just shut up and leave them alone."
Lucy
"Fuck you Don't you ever tell me to shut up do you hear."
Kurt
"Calm down, we don't need any distractions now lets just get where we are going and not make any enemies along the way,thats all I'm saying."
Lucy
"No, you told me to shut up, so fuck you. I don't care how many enemies I make I never said I was here to make friends."
Kurt
"Ok, ok just focus ok, lets just leave it at that."
The driver turns to the other man and says in Spanish.
Driver
"What a pair of assholes!"
The car pulls up in front of a large rundown building. They all get out of the car and walk inside. They walk through the building. Men with guns stand around.
Lucy
"We're here this is it! I can't believe it."
Kurt
"I know what you mean, now lets listen carefully to what they say we don't want to make any mistakes."
Lucy
"You just worry about yourself, I'll be fine I don't make mistakes."
Kurt
"We fuck up with these guys and thats it we are fucked and I mean properly fucked. There are no second chances here."
Lucy
"Don't worry we won't fuck up its not in us to do that we've come this far and we are going all the way. We get whatever it is across get the money drop it off and get the fuck out simple. Then we sprint to the finish line."
Kurt
"We just get the agreed price we don't try to make on it we just get the money and go in and out as fast as we can."
Lucy
"For sure."
They walk into a second large room there are several men in the room and in one part a large pile of vacuum sealed bags.
Antonio
"Ah, here they are, welcome my friends glad you could join us."
Hector
"What you did was very impressive you just cost me $500 I thought you wouldn't do it."
Kurt
"Tell you what I'll pay you back out of my winnings, what do you want us to do? And what are we taking across?"
Hector
"You are taking those packages across. What is in them is not important, you don't need to know. You will take it through a tunnel we have built over to the American side. We have people there waiting, the buyers, they will arrive once everything is over there. Get the money and come back here."
Antonio
"Don't do anything stupid, don't get any ideas of disappearing with our money."
Kurt
"We won't we've too much at stake."

"That you have, that you have."
Cuts back to the studio.
Johnny Paradis'
"Well it looks like Kurt and Lucy are ready to get started lets see where are other team are and how they are getting on."
Cuts to Carl and Sami's hotel. They are waiting outside. A 4X4 pulls up and they get in. One of the boys is in the car along with the two men they previously have had contact with.
1st Man
"You have a new friend young Pedro here insisted on coming along for the ride I think he likes you."
Sami
"He's so cute I could take him home with me, just look at that face he is so adorable."
Carl
"Thats just what we need at home a psycho killer."
Sami
"Don't be like that, he's just a kid."
Carl
"Yeah with an AK47 and a penchant for mass murder sure the neighbours would love him. Hi Bob meet Pedro the assassin I wouldn't want to keep his ball Bob he may just fucking kill you."
Sami
"Don't you listen to him I think you're lovely, he's just being mean because he's jealous of you Pedro."
Carl
"Oh please I think I've heard it all now."
They leave the town and drive through the countryside. Eventually they stop outside a farm house. They all get out of the car and go inside. There are three other 4X4s parked outside and men with guns patrol the house and grounds.
1st Man
"Follow me please."
They walk downstairs into the farmhouses basement. Some men are moving a large cabinet across revealing a tunnel entrance.
2nd Man
"This should be easy. The tunnel runs under the border comes up in a factory unit. People are waiting there for you the buyers will arrive once the whole shipment is there."
Hands them a mobile phone.
"There is a number in there you send a text to it saying ok.They will get there 20 minutes later. You get the money bring it back here. This is a very small shipment and these are first time buyers from us. Simple eh?"
Carl
"You trust them I don't want to walk into some kind of police trap."
1st Man
"It's ok they all have family here in Mexico they won't do anything stupid."
Sami
"Lets get started the sooner we get it all over there the better."
2nd Man
"It has lighting and air conditioning, well air gets pumped in you'll be working in comfort. I think maybe two or three hours and you will be finished."
Carl
"Is that all two hours? Oh man I love you guys come on Sami lets get going."
They start loading packages into a trolley. Once it is loaded they push it down the tunnel. The tunnel is several hundred meters long lights hang from the roof every 10 meters or so. Its hot despite the so called air conditioning. The boy follows them. At the other end they unload the trolley and carry the packages up a ladder into a garage. There are several men standing around with guns. They are directed to put the packages on a palate.
Johnny Paradis'

"This should be easy. The tunnel runs under the border comes up in a factory unit. People are waiting there for you the buyers will arrive once the whole shipment is there."
Hands them a mobile phone.
"There is a number in there you send a text to it saying ok.They will get there 20 minutes later. You get the money bring it back here. This is a very small shipment and these are first time buyers from us. Simple eh?"
Carl
"You trust them I don't want to walk into some kind of police trap."
1st Man
"It's ok they all have family here in Mexico they won't do anything stupid."
Sami
"Lets get started the sooner we get it all over there the better."
2nd Man
"It has lighting and air conditioning, well air gets pumped in you'll be working in comfort. I think maybe two or three hours and you will be finished."
Carl
"Is that all two hours? Oh man I love you guys come on Sami lets get going."
They start loading packages into a trolley. Once it is loaded they push it down the tunnel. The tunnel is several hundred meters long lights hang from the roof every 10 meters or so. Its hot despite the so called air conditioning. The boy follows them. At the other end they unload the trolley and carry the packages up a ladder into a garage. There are several men standing around with guns. They are directed to put the packages on a palate.
