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.
