Final Episode

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!"
