Kurt
"So what are we going to be taking across the border?"

Lucy
"Who cares?"

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."

Hector
"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.
