(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
NARRATOR: Previously on Hunted...
KELLIE: Just received a phone call from somebody.
They have two fugitives staying at their house with them.
What?!
An extraordinary tip-off...
The informant is my brother. That is absolutely awesome.
..saw the hunters finally chase down Ben and Callum.
You've got nowhere to run!
Stop, Callum!
(PEOPLE EXCLAIM) Go, go, go!
It's over! The run is over! You have been hunted down.
(ALL CHEER) Well done, team! Whoo!
With the hunters on the verge of their next capture...
Let's take some people out.
..Holly and Josh made a lucky escape.
HOLLY: Let's get out of here. Go, go, go, go!
Oh, I feel like we got all dressed up,
we got the chocolates, we got the roses and we got stood up.
A risky social media taunt...
I wonder if they're still around that Warragul area.
..had the hunters hot on the trail of Sonja and Elerrina.
WOMAN: Trail might be a little hot. Oh, my God, I am shaking.
Yep. We're changing plans.
And when Byron and Tanase finally use their burner phone...
Chief, we have an outgoing call.
..the hunters increased the pressure...
I think we should just hit Yea with the wanted posters.
Have you seen these people?
..as they were closing in.
Marty thinks he's seen the hunters in Yea.
With 13 days left...
Go! Go!
..12 fugitives remain.
Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!
Who will be next to be captured?
Have you seen these people at all? No, I haven't.
Haven't seen them? Nuh.
In the rural township of Yea,
Team Delta have been canvassing locals
with a poster campaign targeting fugitives Byron and Tanase,
and their presence hasn't gone unnoticed
with contact Michelle receiving word on her alpaca farm
8km away from town.
(PHONE RINGS)
Marty thinks he's seen the hunters in Yea.
TANASE: What? BYRON: Doing what?
Said he went past them.
He thinks. He said he thinks.
He went... He's gone looking for them.
Did he see any of the hunters?
Did you see any of the people that looked like the hunters?
A woman with a black cap?
Yep. Sounds like it's them.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
BYRON:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, me too.
Concerned the hunters could arrive at any minute...
I'm thinking we get Michelle to drop us to Broadmeadows,
stay at Naree's.
Tanase wants to return to the city,
but Byron has a different idea of where to go.
I don't know.
OK, what's your plan? That's my plan. What's yours?
Finding a camp site, camping tonight.
While the fugitives deliberate on their next move...
I'm Michelle. This is Kelly. Nice to meet you.
And we're after two people...
..Team Delta are expanding their search...
WOMAN: Not at all. Not at all?
..by visiting properties outside Yea.
So, we've got Byron and his sister, Tanase.
No. No?
But it's in HQ...
Hey, Simpf, we've just got a voicemail in on the tip line.
MAN ON RECORDING:
..with tip-offs coming through from the poster campaign...
WOMAN OVER PHONE:
Yep.
..where the hunters strike gold
with intel on the fugitives' whereabouts.
I'll look into that alpaca farm now. Thanks, Jay.
Hello!
Delta, relating to the deployment that you are on up in Yea,
there was a public sighting of Byron and Tanase.
It's, like, a mile south of Yea. It's an alpaca farm.
Yes, the alpaca farm. Yep. That's it.
So, the owner of that farm is a Michelle.
JAY: I got a picture of Michelle now.
This is also her daughter and son-in-law.
So, we'll send these through - Michelle with the alpaca farm.
MICHELLE: Yes. Thanks, Ben. That's great.
Whoo! That's a bit juicy! Let's do it.
Let's go and see what Michelle's got to say for herself.
Get ready to run.
It's Delta's time to shine.
This should be the property. That's the property. Hah!
Let's go, team. Here we go. Here we go.
Let's go. Let's get it moving.
BEN: We're gonna get 'em.
Come on, girls.
We're at the door, team. Here we go.
(DOG BARKS) (KNOCK AT DOOR)
Let's go.
Hi. I'm Michelle. Is it OK if we come in?
Is there any fugitives here? No.
Is it OK if I do a quick check?
Where are they?
OK. So, no fugitives here? No.
Sure? Yeah. 100%.
She looks very nervous. Yeah, she's guilty as sin.
Um... (LAUGHS)
They haven't spent the night here at all?
(LAUGHS) They have, haven't they?
Yes. OK. OK.
Where did they go after they left here?
BEN: Come on. Where are they?
Did they seem nervous?
A couple of times, they did get a little nervous
when my husband thought he saw the hunters in Yea.
(EXHALES)
They were very unorganised
about where they were going and where they were going to stay.
(EXHALES)
Her behaviour was very suspicious.
She's probably feeling a bit like,
"I don't want to answer because I'm just gonna keep giving stuff away."
Yeah. That's annoying.
NARRATOR: Unbeknownst to the hunters,
Byron and Tanase are now with Michelle's husband, Marty,
heading south from Yea to a contact in Melbourne.
BYRON: This is always when we feel safest, is in a car,
'cause we're moving.
Yeah.
TANASE: We go to Naree's.
OK.
OK, hunters, can we please gather round the centre console
for a muster, please?
I'd like to go through every fugitive pair.
Alright, Ed and Jimi.
We haven't been within cooee of these people.
But still days behind, Ed and Jimi, Chief.
Nothing contemporary that we can act on today at the moment.
Interesting more from sort of a profiling perspective
is Jimi's probably the mastermind behind this
for around the run.
Hurry up.
Uno.
Oh, Jimi! No! (LAUGHS)
I don't wanna play anymore. Can you get out of my tent, please?
Are you seriously quitting 'cause you lost?
I didn't lose. I'm sick of you. Get out.
OK, I'm getting out. Argh! Argh!
(LAUGHS)
Tharren and Jordan.
They seem to have gone silent after the party.
Since last time we caught up,
we've been doing a little bit of old-fashioned detective work.
We've gone through the bank records.
We've also gone through the mobile records.
We identified quite a lot of locations that he'd been calling
and I called every single one of them
and, unfortunately, he hasn't been to any of those locations
and he's got no bookings there,
um, so that's a little bit of a dead end.
Hi. How you going?
Me and my son, we're fugitives on the run
and we're after some accommodation.
We were wondering if you can help us.
We're willing to do some odd jobs.
Oh, Dad's got something.
(LAUGHS) Yeah!
(LAUGHS)
Are you joking? We're in. We got accommodation.
(LAUGHS) Yes!
OK, let's move on to Holly and Joshua.
We've got no further intelligence
from the last time that they pinged at that campsite.
OK, um, Karla, your insight - what are they thinking?
I think, from that perspective,
they'd be quite comfortable and happy that we're off their tail.
He's not even prepared! Look how overconfident he is.
He doesn't even have shoes on!
How are you gonna run right now?
I have a winner mindset that they're not tracking us.
Right.
Alright. Sonja and Elerrina.
Sonja and Elerrina we know have done
a spin class out at Warragul.
Elerrina and Sonja.
We've had Echo out there speaking to some associates
to try and get ahead of them.
How you doing? Jess? Hey, Jess.
Elerrina's network in all in sort of Warragul or associated areas,
so we wanna drive her out of that area.
We should just scorch the earth with all their contacts.
If we take away all of the support network
that they're intending to lean on,
make it known to them that they cannot go back there,
they are gonna be stuck and they're gonna slip up.
So, that's 43, so it's there.
OK, perfect.
NARRATOR: Two hours from Melbourne,
Sonja and Elerrina are arriving at a safe house,
but aren't feeling particularly safe.
We had not planned on having them ever on our backs,
so, I think we do need to check out our escape route.
Would we be able to go over that, by any chance?
Just go out that way and then go to the car?
We can...
Oh, yeah.
After posting a taunt from a gym in Warragul,
they discovered that it drew ground hunters to a contact's hair salon.
WOMAN OVER PHONE: Trail might be a little hot.
It does make me nervous, staying in Gippsland.
We need to get the heck out of Gippsland.
Yep. We're changing plans.
But with limited options in their network,
they're yet to leave the Gippsland region.
Last night, getting that phone call,
knowing that the hunters were on our trail
was probably the first time I've felt it.
Yeah, I'm feeling a little on edge.
Like, I don't know.
I have felt quite antsy
all day today.
Um...
Literally all day.
I am stir-crazy, but I also want to win.
I do feel a little bit trapped at the moment.
Mm.
It just plays on your...
..your mental wellbeing at some point.
Yeah.
(SNIFFLES)
I could, I guess, envision two more weeks of this,
but, um...
(SNIFFLES)
NARRATOR: In HQ, the reality of
nearly capturing Byron and Tanase
is also hitting home.
(SIGHS)
I reckon we could have had Byron and Tanase today.
(SIGHS) Nah, why let them beat us, mate?
True, mate. I'll just have a cigar and a whisky.
KARLA: From what we've uncovered about Byron and Tanase,
they seem to have quite a close relationship.
But, with any fugitive, the longer they stay on the run,
the more difficult it is to maintain that momentum,
the motivation.
The reality of what its like to be on the run,
that will start to take its toll
and that is really going to increase tensions between the pair
and also to have disagreements about next steps.
Um, so, are you open to going somewhere?
Where?
Like, camping?
Could do.
NARRATOR: Having arrived at their new contact, Naree,
in Melbourne's northern suburbs,
Byron is still not feeling comfortable.
Um, I don't know.
We could stay here, have some food,
catch up on sleep and stuff and then go camping.
I don't know about staying here.
I just wanna get off the grid.
Tanase and I were very close
up until our late 20s
and then last several years, kind of drifted.
She really was my best friend and I think I was hers as well,
and going on the run, it was to reconnect with my sister
and hopefully continue that through this experience.
We're not even on the radar in Broadmeadows.
Like, we've got no connection to this.
Have you got insight into Hunters' headquarters?
Like, it's a gut feeling. I feel calm, my nervous system is relaxed.
Yeah, but, anyway, I just feel it's only day eight,
so they're gonna be homing in on contacts
over the next week or so even more,
so, for me, it's, like, you use the contacts now.
I'm keen to use Cam this week,
whether it's a lift, because, Byron, he's not available next week.
I get that.
I don't wanna just think, "Oh, I wanna use Cam,"
as being, like, a good strategy to use on the run.
It's about, like what is... Why what makes sense.
We're not just "using Cam" because it "makes sense".
I'm saying we use Cam
because he knows a lot of people in his network.
He can set us up with accommodation in Torquay,
he could even tell us...
Anything!
Anyway, what I'm suggesting is we can make a phone call to Cam.
We're not making any calls from here today.
We're not gonna make any calls from the place that we're in.
If we make a call, we have to go somewhere.
Like, calling Cam from here would draw them to us.
Seriously. (SIGHS)
(HELICOPTER WHIRRS)
NARRATOR: 12 fugitives remain on the run
with 13 days until extraction.
With time working against them,
HQ's next prime target is Bayan and Eesha
who have been flying under the radar since day one.
Are either of you focusing on Bayan and Eesha?
He's... I'm doing Bayan, he's doing Eesha.
OK.
I haven't really found anything on him personally,
so there's so, so much I'm still trying to, like, pull together.
Bayan and Eesha have been excruciatingly quiet
so we're going to spend a lot of time today
to go right back to day one where they exited the vessel
from the blast,
piece together CCTV sightings of them.
This team should be caught by now,
insomuch as Bayan is recruiting people on Facebook
to go on the run with him.
EESHA: Are you planning to ditch me on the last day?
'Cause you keep asking me about how I would feel if I didn't make it.
(LAUGHS)
Just tell me if you are and I'll plan for it.
(LAUGHS) We've discussed it a couple of times.
I know, I know.
Bayan and I are old friends.
I think I met him when I was probably around 19.
Um, he hasn't told us his age,
so we won't say how old he was at the time.
(LAUGHS) Don't say that!
But when I got his message and we reconnected,
I'm actually really excited to go into this with him as friends.
Let's say hunters track this vehicle to this point.
If there is CCTV, they will request that CCTV.
Bayan and I are both on the same page.
Um, let's have a think for a second.
We do need to disguise up here.
OK. And we should covert walk.
We are willing to do whatever it takes.
I'm not doing this half-hearted.
Testing my own personal mettle against the best of the best
that this country has to offer.
You want to put a bit of extra distance, Eesha?
You're getting a bit close there.
A bit of extra space.
Oh, I see her.
NARRATOR: On day one of the run,
Bayan and Eesha were given a lift out of the city by friend Nasim.
We're still alive. Still alive. (LAUGHS)
Using Nasim's phone, they called another friend, Angus,
who they've given a code name.
Mr Balaclava?
In the care package they collected... Hey, hey! I got it.
..are several SIM cards, a car key and a burner phone
which the fugitives are yet to use.
After much reconnaissance, we have settled on a spot.
Yep. Yeah, I feel pretty safe here.
But, before making a phone call,
Bayan and Eesha have a system that's helped them evade the hunters
for eight days and counting.
So, the use of what we call standard operating procedures.
Essentially, it's like a to-do list of things you have to do
in every type of circumstance that you may encounter.
It just takes all the human error and the thinking out of it.
It's not gonna happen.
We will inevitably miss a step and that one step that we miss
could leave a clue for the hunters to find us.
Totally.
All the people that we're gonna be using
are people that are three or four degrees of separation away from us.
We have some very big aces up our sleeves.
Watch out, hunters. You'll be in trouble.
This, uh, fellow over here, what is he up to?
He's been just lurking around here for a while.
Just pack up all your stuff... Yeah, I'm packed.
..and get ready to move out.
While the fugitives delay their phone call...
You think he was some random person?
..back at HQ,
an extensive search of CCTV on day one of the run
is finally yielding results.
Hey, Ben, just letting you know CCTV footage has just come in.
We're gonna throw it on the big screen.
Cheers, Bree.
Oh, here we go.
Bottom left.
Looks like they're looking for a lift out of there.
So, Seafarer Lane, they pop up here in the car park.
They're looking for someone. They don't see them.
They go back in.
DAVID: It looked premeditated, didn't it?
Yeah. Like they were waiting.
And maybe the car wasn't there. Yep.
They think, "Shit, let's get out of the way a bit," wait a second.
Yep.
Hear the car, then look again,
rather than wait in front of the cameras, potentially.
That is awesome.
What would be great, Bree, could we now ask for footage from that point
for the next half an hour...
Yeah, sure.
..and footage of cameras all around the car park?
Done. Amazing.
Let it rain with intel.
Yes.
It is a really good feeling
just to get one piece of information on Bayan and Eesha
'cause, frankly, we've had nothing so far.
This one piece of information could move us forward and, who knows,
we could be behind them within the next 24 hours.
At last. That's what we wanted. That is what we wanted.
Shoulders are getting sore carrying this team. It's exhausting.
(LAUGHS)
Ah, love it.
NARRATOR: 12km north of Melbourne's CBD,
Byron and Tanase have reached a compromise,
agreeing to bed down for the night
and calling Tanase's friend Cam for a pick-up tomorrow.
We'll probably stay here tonight, if that's alright,
and then we'll go, like, first thing in the morning.
Is it OK if we use your car for, like, an hour?
'Cause we wanna call Cam and then see if we could go down the coast.
Sounds like a plan. Cool. Thank you.
The fugitives are also upping their countersurveillance techniques...
..driving to another location, hopefully free from CCTV...
..to make an encrypted call from their burner phone.
I don't feel like anyone else would be doing this,
like, driving a whole hour just to make a phone call
and then coming back.
Mm.
I just feel like we're 10 steps ahead of the hunters.
We're just calling Cam now. He's uses WhatsApp, yeah?
Mm-hm.
What happens if the hunters are watching his WhatsApp?
But they can't get into WhatsApp. It's encrypted.
It's an encrypted app.
(GROANS SOFTLY) It's fine.
I'm not worried. Any cameras on your side?
There's no cameras. Call Cam.
(LINE RINGS)
Hello? Cam, how are you?
Ben, a call has been made using an encrypted communication app
on a device registered to Byron.
Byron's phone.
NARRATOR: After being caught on CCTV topping up their burner phone,
the hunters now have it on full intercept.
If that phone's turned on, we should pick it up,
so that will then give us the location
so it should be just bang!
That quick.
The location is at the entrance of Melbourne Zoo, Parkville.
Can I get onto Charlie? Yeah.
(LINE RINGS) How are you, Ben?
I'm even better now. I've got somewhere to head you guys to.
We got the handset registered to Byron ping up on a cell tower
at the front of Melbourne Zoo.
No problem. Thanks, Ben. We are 10 minutes from the zoo.
Amazing.
Let's go.
CAM OVER PHONE:
The fugitives this time around,
some are showing a bit more savviness.
Making an encrypted comms call, we can't get the content,
but, just as important, we're gonna get its location.
(TWO-WAY RADIO CHIRPS)
This is Charlie. We're just rolling up there now.
Our ground hunters are on their way to the zoo.
We're taking this deadly serious.
They've been on the run too long. Time for their game to end.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
If they're in there, we've got 'em.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
NARRATOR: A location ping from Byron and Tanase's burner phone
has led ground hunter team Charlie to the Melbourne Zoo.
TANASE: OK, that might be an option.
What time tomorrow? Like, what's the earliest?
CAM OVER PHONE: Could do 11:00 at Royal Park.
(HUNTER SINGSONGS) Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Yeah, yeah, that's fine, that's fine.
Amazing, Cam! Thank you so much. Thank you!
Yeah.
Cool.
BYRON:
Yeah.
NARRATOR: But with the fugitives on the fringes
of one of many car parks...
..they continue to evade the hunters.
Nothing? Nup.
BYRON:
(TWO-WAY RADIO CHIRPS) This is Charlie.
We've just swept through the southern part
of the zoo's parking lot, but nothing...nothing there at all.
(BEN SIGHS)
DAVID: Well, we have requested CCTV, haven't we?
BREE: Chief, unfortunately CCTV has yielded no sightings
of the fugitives inside the zoo.
Maybe we should widen the net.
Maybe it's not the zoo's CCTV we should be looking at.
If they go up maybe a mile out,
just start hoovering up cameras on the way in...
Yeah.
..and then hoover up cameras east and west
just in that little tiny area.
So, we're just looking for... Decent cameras.
..highway cameras?
Yeah, yeah, highway cameras,
even private infrastructure cameras that might look at the road.
Alright. Thanks, mate. Appreciate it.
Hey, Charlie, we're gonna do a bit of a street sweep
for highway cameras that we can get some imagery off.
Charlie. Good. Copy.
I'll go down to that one, see if there's any there.
You do this one. I'll be back.
Thank you.
We're very motivated to capture Byron and Tanase.
I've got Charlie looking at every possible camera around the zoo.
Our ground hunters are resilient. They're working hard.
Doesn't matter whether it's day or night.
They are on the hunt.
NARRATOR: In Traralgon,
after an emotional morning,
fugitives Sonja and Elerrina
have come up with an action plan.
Are we able to come up to you? WOMAN: Yeah!
We were wondering if tomorrow
you might be able to drive us to the city.
SONJA: I think we're both a little bit nervous
about being in Gippsland.
Yeah! Are you sure?
That's amazing. OK, that is amazing.
'Cause that really takes, like, a little bit of pressure off there.
Thank you. You are divine. Let me give you a hug.
Oh. Oh, my gosh, my hands are so cold.
That was mean. That was a mean hug. (LAUGHS)
I was a bit anxious this morning,
but I do feel a sense of relief.
One, two, three.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Once we get to the city, Son and I,
we're thinking of calling my friend Leroy.
He was my boss in Warragul
and he has a house in Bendigo.
So, for now, I feel safe-ish.
NARRATOR: Back at HQ,
the cyber team are spearheading the investigation
into contacts of Sonja and Elerrina in the Gippsland region.
STEPH: Anything new on Elerrina?
JAY: Uh...not really.
I'm just doing a little bit of
zigging into Elerrina's phone.
OK.
Hopefully we'll get some hit at some point.
NARRATOR: And by methodically going through Elerrina's old text messages,
Jay has a new lead.
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy, boy. Oh, boy.
OK. (SIGHS) Um...
Ben, Leroy Brown, he's very significant for Elerrina.
He was the first person she messaged
after she confirmed that she was gonna go and do the run.
BEN: That is interesting. Yeah.
And what's the connection with them two?
Uh, he was her old boss when she worked in Warragul.
He got her the job. He mentored her.
He also has a house near Bendigo, like, a quite rural property,
which would make sense if they're gonna hide out.
We do have units that way, so I'll get them to cover that off.
Cheers, Jay. Thanks, mate. Thank you.
(LINE RINGS)
(LAUGHS)
It's all true about Englishmen, we love a cup of tea.
Can't go to war without one. (LAUGHS)
Alright, guys, we've got an interesting guy called Leroy Brown,
a close associate of Elerrina and Sonja.
Getting in front of Leroy Brown
would be an absolute necessity for us to build the picture
and then we'll take it from there, guys.
Wonderful.
(TENSE MUSIC)
GRAEME: We've got a good lead.
BEN: We might be able to squeeze some gems out from Leroy Brown.
Wanna talk?
Hi. Hi.
Yeah, mate, how are ya? G'day.
We're looking for a couple of people that are currently on the run
and we believe that you might have
some sort of an association with them.
Do you mind if I just have a quick look, mate, around?
Have you heard from her in the last week?
LEROY: Nah.
(DOG BARKS)
Has anything been arranged for you to meet up with them
or talk with them at any stage?
Nah. Not at all.
Is there any other computers or anything like that?
NARRATOR: With Leroy giving very little information...
Beautiful. We really appreciate your time.
..it's been a fruitless visit for Team Alpha.
Hey, Ben, he says he hasn't heard from her yet.
We looked around the house. There were no notes.
There didn't appear to be anything there.
But I don't believe he hasn't heard from them.
Yeah, sure thing. Yeah.
Let's get a tracker on his vehicle
and we'll get his phone on full intercept.
Too easy, mate. Thank you. Bye-bye.
See ya, mate. 'Bye.
We need to bring Leroy in for questioning.
I think so. (LAUGHS)
Dump a bag over the head.
Put him under a hot lamp. (LAUGHS)
I will try and get that tracker onto his car.
NIKKI:
NARRATOR: While Team Alpha tracks Elerrina's contact,
Jay and Cyber has found a target for Sonja from her social media.
JAY: Sonja...
Look at this thing. Sonja's dog, Fifi.
Oh, my God, that poor thing. VIKKI: I know. That poor angel.
Looks like a Tasmanian devil that's lost a bit of weight.
She spends, like, $600 a month on, like, medication for it
and she's got deleted messages to a pet sitter named Jess,
who's looking after her beloved dog Fifi at this minute.
She can't be that bad. She loves her dog.
Hey, little baby. Oh, my God.
Hello. Thank you.
I miss my dog, Fifi, a lot.
You know, I haven't gotten any updates from my little Fifi.
I haven't seen her little face.
I have a beautiful pet sitter watching her
who happens to be a Jess as well.
I would love to reach out to Jess to get an update on Fifi.
JAY: Karla? KARLA: Yeah.
So what do you think about a social engineering campaign
to lure out Sonja and Elerrina?
What do you think would work?
Target the dog. Got a pet sitter.
So I reckon we spoof as the pet sitter Jess
and we send a message out to Leroy Brown.
I like it. Yeah. Yeah.
We know Leroy was an important contact of Sonja and Elerrina
to have on the run.
I am impersonating Jess,
which is Sonja's pet sitter for her dog, Fifi,
to try and provoke a reaction
and see if he's gonna get in touch with them.
We have Leroy's phone on intercept.
So if we can get some sort of reaction,
we'll be able to get exactly where they are.
And...fire.
Sent.
NARRATOR: As dusk approaches,
the fugitives are settling in for their eighth night on the run.
Perfect. No worries. Sweet.
We're going for the rustic look.
We're protected by this wall of natural, um...
BOTH: Floor-to-ceiling...
..open living.
The exhaustion is wearing down some fugitives.
(ELERRINA SNORES LOUDLY)
SONJA:
(SNORES)
(ELERRINA CONTINUES SNORING)
While others are happy to socialise.
We're fugitives
and pretend police are trying to...
Are trying to catch us. ..catch us.
Yeah, OK.
You can't tell anyone you met us. Don't tell anyone you met us.
Anyone at all. You can't... You don't know us.
Hey, Jimi, I'm genuinely a hunter
'cause I can't see right in front of me.
(BOTH LAUGH)
NARRATOR: It's been nine days since fugitive friends Bayan and Eesha
escaped Melbourne's Docklands.
BEN: Right, so that was them.
And then they'll go back in.
They're definitely looking for a car here, aren't they? Look.
With no strong leads to work on,
Ben's gone back to day one to capture their movements on CCTV.
Ben? Yeah.
We've just received some CCTV footage
regarding the car park at Docklands.
Whoo-hoo! Have a look at it.
Then touch base again. I don't know if it's what you're looking for.
OK. Thank you.
That's them.
That's outside and we saw them inside.
NARRATOR: However, with the fugitives now seen leaving the car park
they were spotted in,
Ben is no closer to seeing them get into a vehicle.
Oh, Bayan.
Bayan's the bane of my life.
In real life, when you're doing investigations like this,
you might not get anything for weeks and months.
You hit dead end after dead end.
But you need to just keep going.
They've gone all the way down. Alright, I'll keep chasing that.
Because at some point,
a piece of information trickles through
from the hard work you might have put in a month before.
Hey, Ben, I've just received a small amount of CCTV
regarding Bayan and Eesha.
Ye-he-he-hey!
I'll pop it on the big screen.
This is at 107 Collins Street.
There they are! They did change dress descriptions.
VIKKI: I didn't even see them. Oh, they're behind...
They're not even walking together. That's suss.
Doing their best to be casual.
I have very much formed an opinion on Bayan and Eesha.
Both of them are taking this incredibly seriously.
But so are we.
They must have gone down George Parade. Anyway, I'll check cameras.
Stand by.
We've just received CCTV footage timestamped at 13:28.
Which is further east from where we see them in the stairwell.
Whoo-hoo!
So continued over the junction at Russell Street.
Right, guys, you'll be glad to know
I've got about 100 metres on day one.
Yay! We're good.
You're like a dog with a bone.
(LAUGHS)
What we want is to identify the vehicle
that we are confident was supposed to be there to pick them up.
NARRATOR: While the hunters continue to search CCTV
for their lift on day one...
I'll put on your hat.
Yeah, yeah.
..the fugitives are on their way to pick up a vehicle.
Head down.
Eesh, there's a camera right above your head, huh?
It's right in front of you.
On my way.
So, feeling of deja vu today.
Taking the same walk, down the same path, heading to the same park.
But today, we head to a new destination.
NARRATOR: The car waiting for them has been provided
by their secret accomplice, so-called Mr Balaclava.
Right. When we go up ahead, let's watch out for CCTV.
But before taking a long drive south, they have a pit stop to make.
Just getting out some binos to take a look at where the...
..target location is and see if it's a safe route to our location.
Toilet. (CHUCKLES)
I'm trying to avoid using that word.
We're trying to find a toilet.
(LAUGHS) It's, like, such a mission to find a toilet.
Yeah, I can see the restroom there.
There's a camera right above it.
It's pointing straight at the toilet door.
Do we wanna scope it out? Is it worth it?
Would anyone think to look at this CCTV
in a random park in South Yarra?
Extremely unlikely.
Unless the burner phone was being monitored.
There's a lot of ifs, but maybe we give this one a miss.
Yeah.
NARRATOR: In HQ,
the exhaustive search of day one's CCTV
has finally paid off.
Ben, we've had a hit - a car park on Flinders Street.
WOMAN: Stop it!
Bayan and Eesha were seen getting into a red Toyota.
Lovely jubbly.
Registered to Nasim. N-A-S-I-M.
Could we please get a subscriber check on Nasim, please?
No worries. Well done, Ben.
We've put a lot of hard work and effort into piecing it together.
We finally got something positive out of it
and we're gonna use that and go forward.
Ben? Yeah?
We have, um, a hit on Nasim's call charge record.
The person who owns the phone number, it belongs to Angus.
Angus? As in... He has a residence in Toorak.
Amazing.
NARRATOR: With Angus now a significant person of interest,
the hunters waste no time sending a ground hunter team...
Alpha, this is Ops. Over.
Yeah, Alpha. Go.
..to try and get ahead on intel.
We've got a bit of a hunch.
Copy. Roger, mate.
What they don't realise is that Angus is known as Mr Balaclava
to the fugitives.
What's his name? Angus? Angus.
Lights are on.
G'day, Angus. Jason, mate.
How are you? ANGUS: Yeah, good to meet you.
This is Nikki, mate. Nice to meet you.
Obviously, mate, we're here, we're obviously investigating
a couple of people who have gone on the run.
I do know a guy named Bayan. Yeah.
I know that's what you're asking about.
So when you spoke to him, what was the conversation around?
It was pretty simple.
He asked me to give him a bit of a hand,
but I did put together a care package and left it with them.
Mate, what was in the care package? I'm not prepared to tell ya.
Nah, OK.
Do you know where they are at the moment?
I can actually say I've not seen them
or spoken to them since that first day.
What have you got, guys? What have you got?
Yeah, HQ.
He admitted that the phone call from the day of the blast from the scene
was actually Bayan, so he gave them what he said was a care package.
If Angus have provided them with a care package,
no doubt there would have been a burner phone within it.
Thank you very much.
BAYAN: No cameras here.
Let's grab it and get out of here.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Alright.
EESHA: Beep-beep! Let's do this.
BEN: Bayan has been painful
because he thinks he's playing a really good game
and, frankly speaking, he probably has.
I wonder if we can drive past that hunter headquarters building.
(EESHA CHUCKLES)
But when someone is really that determined to beat us,
it makes us incredibly determined to beat them.
We're now onto it. I know it's a matter of time and we will get them.
EESHA: Hi.
Please save the screenshot of this ASAP
because the message will disappear.
This message will self-destruct in five minutes.
That's it. (LAUGHS)
NARRATOR: Watch every adrenaline-pumping moment
of the thrilling second series of Hunted Australia
with full episodes on 10 play.
Have we done any digging in regards
to the car park at the back of the zoo?
Negative. OK.
Copy that. I'll keep digging. I'll let you know.
NARRATOR: Frustrated after sending ground hunter Team Charlie
to the Melbourne Zoo yesterday...
Nothing? Nah.
..with no sighting of Byron and Tanase
despite their burner phone ping...
(SIGHS)
Carter, can we look in the intersection area?
I think there's a 7-Eleven garage there.
CARTER: Sounds good.
..the hunters are blanketing the area for any CCTV
where they may have been picked up.
We're one week into the hunt and we're nowhere near where I wanna be.
The main challenges our hunters are facing this time
is the fugitives have refined their game.
They've done their research.
They've increased their trade craft ability.
But we've got people of the highest calibre in our teams
and I'm confident we're gonna track them down.
Ben!
We've had CCTV footage
of two individuals matching the description
of fugitives Byron and Tanase.
Great.
Were seen travelling in a silver Volkswagen Jetta.
Brilliant.
Driving past the 7-Eleven in North Melbourne.
That's awesome. So, we've got the registration.
You get keeper details? Yep. Doing it now.
I strongly suspect whoever owns that Jetta
is the person that's harbouring Byron and Tanase.
That's it.
NARRATOR: An hour's drive from the zoo...
The worst sandwich ever.
..Byron and Tanase are taking their time to leave
to meet their next contact,
confident they've covered their tracks.
Last time I made fried eggs and they cracked,
that was, um, the day the hunters almost got us,
so hopefully this isn't a sign.
TANASE: It's fine.
I actually don't feel stressed at all.
I feel calm, fine. Our plan is solid.
Mmm.
But all it takes is one black car to come past
and then you pull out the emotions again.
Not really.
Clearly the hunters don't scare me anymore.
Big words.
Ohhh! Ben?
Yeah? We've identified the Volkswagen.
It belongs to Inari and it's in Broadmeadows.
Inari. Thank you.
(RADIO BLEEPS)
Charlie team. How are we?
We've very well indeed.
Good. Busy, busy day ahead. Whoo-hoo!
Great. Excellent.
So, we got CCTV footage
of people matching the description of Byron and Tanase.
They were in a silver Jetta vehicle.
The person that owns that vehicle, Inari.
Inari lives north in Broadmeadows.
So potentially where they are now.
No worries. Thanks, Ben.
We are 15 minutes from that address. Cool.
I think we'll get there as soon as possible, guys.
They could very well be sat there having cornflakes and a cup of tea,
thinking they're safe and we'll be knocking on the door any minute.
TANASE: What's the time?
I want to meet Cam at 11:00. INARI: Yeah.
So we'll leave, like, 10:15, 10:30. OK.
Yeah, cool. Yeah.
Ben, I can confirm Inari's phone is pinging from her home address.
Yay! Come on. KARLA: Come on!
This is red-hot. This is red-hot. Let's get there.
REECE: Charlie, Ops. Inari's phone is at home.
HUNTER: Yeah, roger that. That good copy on that.
We are now one minute out from that address. That's one minute.
Byron and Tanase, they've done their time.
Come on, Charlie. Running shoes on.
They're trying to outsmart us, but they have slipped up
and we'll be the ones having the last laugh when they're in the bag.
BEN: Come on. Go, go, go, go!
REESE: Ben has definitely got his capture pants on.
Yeah, mate.
(TENSE MUSIC)
We're about to turn left into the court. Left into that court.
Find them! Come on!
15 seconds. 15 seconds. REESE: Roger that. Let's go, team.
Come on!
I'm heading towards that residence now.
Any sign of the vehicle there, team?
Yep. Eyes on that vehicle.
Yeah, eyes on vehicle. Good copy.
Go, go!
(TENSE MUSIC)
Come on, Charlie. Let's go, guys.
TANASE: Can I put notes in for what I need to do?
Like, for the shopping thing? Yeah.
There is an e...
(MUFFLED VOICE CONTINUES INSIDE)
My God. Byron!
Byron? There's someone at the door.
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
FEMALE HUNTER: Hello?
(TENSE MUSIC)
MALE HUNTER: Let's go.
(TENSE MUSIC) BEN: Come on, Charlie!
Can I put notes in for what I need to do?
Like, for the shopping thing? Yeah.
(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)
MALE HUNTER: There is an e...
(MUFFLED VOICE CONTINUES INSIDE)
My God. Byron!
Byron? There's someone at the door.
I can hear speaking inside - "Someone at the door."
Let's go in, team!
(KNOCKS)
Hello?
(GROUND HUNTER KNOCKS)
Inari? Yes.
Are you expecting me?
No.
(BLEEP). Can we come in?
Are they in here?
(ALL CHEER)
They're inside!
Come here, come here, come here.
Doing a search of the place now. They're here somewhere.
I can do it. Move. Get in, Byron!
Yeah.
Keep looking, team! Keep looking! They're in there.
You in? Yes.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh!
Close the door. Get in. Get in! Get in!
I can't close this door.
Ah! Byron, you've been hunted down.
Your time on the run is over.
(ALL CHEER)
Yoo-hoo!
One more, one more, one more! Where's Tenase?
Where is Tenase? She's not here.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
She's not here.
(HEAVY BREATHING)
REESE: Where is Tenase?
(TENSE MUSIC)
(HEAVY BREATHING)
(BLEEP).
Tenase, your time on the run is over. You have been hunted down.
Yes! (LAUGHS) (ALL CHEER)
Yee-hee-hee! (LAUGHS)
Oh! (PANTS)
DAVID: Well done, Charlie. That is great work!
LEIGHA: Whoo!
Yes, yes, yes! GRAEME: Good job, guys.
Hey. (TANASE SOBS)
It's alright.
(TANASE SOBS)
We lost. (TANASE CRIES)
It's alright. (TANASE CRIES)
Come on. It's alright.
(TANASE CRIES)
She's devastated. They were very confident they were safe.
Oh, no.
Gone.
How? How did you find us here?
We're hunters.
Byron, Tanase, um, I'm sorry to see some tears from you.
You really did put in a good effort. (CHUCKLES)
Not good enough, but thank you.
Yeah, not good enough. Far out!
MAN: Well done. WOMAN: So good!
I cannot believe it. It's alright.
I feel so bad. Why do you feel so bad?
Because you said to go camping last night.
Don't. I didn't... Don't worry about. It's fine.
They probably could have found us camping anyway.
'Cause the thing was to do it together.
(CRIES)
I'm so sorry. You don't have to be sorry.
Alright, let's go.
Going on the run with Byron has been a lot of fun.
I'm just really...
I'm so happy to have achieved this far with you, my brother.
(TANASE SNIFFLES)
I'm so glad we...
BYRON:
You're the best.
TANASE:
MAN: Just so you know, the hunters have already been here.
Oh, have they?
NARRATOR: As the hunt reaches the halfway mark...
The hunters have no idea where we are.
..half of the fugitives remain on the run.
These individuals might think they're shrewd
and can get away from us.
You can't see me in the grass.
Hello! Here I am! (EESHA LAUGHS)
But we have the best technology in the business.
That is, try and lift off. Did you see that?
I have eyes on two individuals.
We are upping the ante. Let's go!
Let's get them. Hunt them down.
The danger levels are going to start increasing
as more and more fugitives get caught.
It's just stressful 'cause we don't know what they know.
Um...
My message to the fugitives is do not rest.
We're still in the game. Come and get us.
Do not become complacent.
Losing is not an option.
All units, all units, do not let them out.
Because we will not stop until you are caught.
(DOG BARKS) Your time on the run is over, mate.
