(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
NARRATOR: Previously on Hunted...
Oh! (SHRIEKS)
..as the hunt entered the final week...
Did you do under your arms? Yeah, yeah.
..the fugitives were feeling confident.
Hunters aren't smart people. They couldn't catch us!
The wolves are about to come out and play.
But a search of Holly and Josh's apartment...
I just found a diary.
VIKKI: There is a note that says, "Ally - 16th."
..turned up a vital piece of information.
JOSH: Two nights' camping and then we've got Ally.
This is good.
Our strategy is to cover Ally. We have a tracker on her vehicle.
Party time.
Tharren and Jordan continued to taunt the hunters.
MAN: The plan is to just waste more of the hunters' time.
Very interesting.
But when Bayan and Eesha took a risk using their burner phone...
BAYAN: Free Telstra wi-fi.
I have a public wi-fi hit. Yes!
..the hunters hightailed it to Richmond.
Let's do it, brother.
We've got three ground hunter units moving in as we speak.
With five days till extraction...
We're red-hot. We're not gonna get this close again.
..eight fugitives remain.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Can anyone evade capture...
Come on! Let's go! Go!
..and win $100,000?
In Richmond, three ground hunter units
now surround a 2km radius
from the last CCTV sighting
of Bayan and Eesha
and the fugitives have no idea
that the hunters
are just around the corner.
Maybe I'll keep a lookout for when they arrive.
Yeah.
Yeah, if I see them around here, I can yell out to them.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Who do I hear there?
I swear I saw somebody.
I thought I... I thought I may have seen a hunter.
HUNTER: Yeah, Ben, you've got Echo on the eastern end, mate.
You've got Charlie on the western end.
And we're just roaming, mate.
Oh, I've got him! Eyes on, eyes on!
Coming down your side! Go!
Shit.
Hey! Bayan, stop! Bayan, stop!
Bayan, stop!
They're sending units. We're going up. Yeah, he's upstairs.
There's hunters.
They've got into the unit.
They're stuck inside, locked the door.
Open the door, mate! You can't go anywhere.
(BANGING ON DOOR)
EESHA:
(BANGING ON DOOR)
We're caught.
Open the door, mate.
Guys, we're up the top level
so they've got nowhere to go at this stage.
They've just locked the door.
EESHA: There's no way to get out of here.
Open the door, buddy! You can't go anywhere.
BEN: Ooh!
Yeah, so we've got Bayan inside.
At the moment, he's just not answering the door.
He's locked that door. (KNOCKS)
HUNTER: I just saw Bayan look out the back window.
There is no way for them to get down.
They can't get down unless they jump.
Is there any way we can drop a sheet down there and get out?
But they've covered the back gate as well.
There's no way. Yeah.
EESHA: Is there, like, an escape vent through here?
Can we get out another way?
We were so much safer just sitting in here.
I don't think they knew we were in this house.
They were just circling around.
We have no way out.
This is it. We're trapped.
This is the end of the line.
(KNOCKS) Bayan, open the door, bud. The gig's up, buddy.
He's looking through the slits in the curtain.
We can wait here all day, all night.
You just gotta open the door, mate. The gig's up.
Is there no way out of that? Confirmed, no way out?
We're on the first floor, so we're up a level.
OK, all units, all units, let's surround unit ----, please.
Surround unit ----. Do not let them out.
Can I potentially hide?
You can try.
You can hear activity inside, Jase, yeah?
It appears he's in a bedroom.
Sean's saying it appears he's in a bedroom
and they've closed the bedroom door.
We obviously don't have visual on any person inside,
but that's where he's gone into and we saw the door shut.
Any sign of Eesha?
We have not had eyes on Eesha.
We are assuming she is inside.
We have not had eyes on.
Just tell them I've gone for a walk or something.
Come on, Bayan! You've lost.
Those counter-surveillance skills needed were finetuned.
Come on! Open up!
Just make up a story about I've gone out.
Do they think we're gonna go away or something?
We don't do that.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Come on, Bayan. It's Alpha Team.
No-one gets away from Alpha Team, mate. Let's go. Open up.
Nothing, mate. Nothing. No movement, no sounds.
(EXHALES HEAVILY) (JASON SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY OUTSIDE)
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
If we get the capture, let's just focus,
make sure we've got Eesha as well, guys, alright?
Good luck.
(KNOCKING CONTINUES)
Bedroom door is opening.
Let's go, Bayan. Come on, mate. The game's up.
Alright, we've got Bayan.
You've been hunted down. Your time on the run is over.
(ALL CHEER)
So we've got Bayan. I don't have Eesha.
I do not have Eesha.
Stand by.
Just check the cupboard.
Let's hope she's in there.
Every corner, every hole.
We saw you coming. She caught a cab about 10 minutes before you arrived.
You missed somebody?
You missed her? Missed her by about 10 minutes.
We got eyes on Eesha yet, guys, please?
GRAEME: Well, she won't be far.
DAVID: I'm just hoping Eesha wasn't in the car
with those kids, in that silver car.
We saw you coming. You missed her.
If she's not in there, we just spread out. Capture him, go.
We got Echo just combing the streets
just in case we haven't got Eesha in here as well.
HUNTER: Yeah, we're not 100% sure if Eesha's in there or not.
Tell me she's there. Come on.
She's had plenty of time to hide.
Yeah, I've got her under the bed. I've got her under the bed.
(ALL CHEER)
WOMAN: The whole bed! MAN: They got both of them.
Nice try.
Stand by, mate. We'll just help her out.
Jeez, how many hunters have you brought?!
You brought the whole army.
Eesha, you've been hunted down. Your time on the run is over.
GRAEME: There it is!
Well done. Nice work. Well done, mate.
(LAUGHS)
It's all good, it's all good.
Bayan and Eesha, it's the Chief here. How you going?
You sent the whole army after us.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight people here.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
We want to make sure we capture your desperation
from every different angle.
(LAUGHTER)
Thanks for playing. Go and have a cool drink.
It's been a good game. Thanks for the game and well played.
Well done, guys.
We did everything right.
One tiny slip-up and they exploited it.
EESHA: That loitering...
If I wasn't outside... They wouldn't have known.
..on the landing, they would've had no clue.
I think we were getting complacent with the CCTV as well.
Like, I mean, we got caught on cameras
quite a few times in the last 24 hours.
We did.
OK, this has been momentous.
This has been a high-risk, now a high-yield strategy.
We've poured everything into this for days,
every bit of technology,
every bit of human power that we've got,
every bit of brain power that we've got and it's paid off.
Take this minute to appreciate how good that feels, fugitives caught.
Oh, feel that. How good is that?
Right, back to the grindstone.
Who's next?
NARRATOR: Fresh from capturing Bayan and Eesha,
HQ are focused on the remaining three fugitive teams
that are spread out across Victoria.
And with five days until extraction,
HQ are hoping for a clean sweep.
We need a clean sweep.
It's within our grasp. We can do it.
But we need to bring our best game.
Our best game needs to be played right now
and let's kick some fugitive rear end.
Alright, let's go on to Tharren and Jordan.
LEIGHA: So Tharren and Jordan.
They've had us
looking in places on purpose.
Their cheeky little mail package
in the post with the postcards
hasn't given us a lot to go on.
I think their theory of making us look left while they go right
is highly plausible.
The other thing is actually too
there's no phone footprint
with them at all.
(BIRDS CHIRP)
JORDAN: Oh, he's gone!
I mean, that's how it's done!
Right now, I feel like I could be on the run forever.
If I keep on the run like this, I'll end up with a nice tan.
Thanks, hunters, for giving us a rest.
We'll start up again next week for you guys. That'll be awesome.
Yeah, day 22, come and get us.
Come and get us.
DAVID: Holly and Josh.
I'll hand over to Ben.
We've got all four ground hunter units
on Holly and Josh at the moment,
covering four key addresses,
two addresses belonging to Ally down in the Geelong region,
her vehicle's still under observation technically,
so we've got a tracker on that.
If Holly and Josh go to her, we're gonna see that.
If Ally goes to them, we're also gonna see it.
So high level, that's where we're at with these guys at the moment
because the last sighting
was still eight, nine days ago
up in the Bendigo region rurally.
Oh, thank you so much for having us
and feeding us and buying for us and driving for us.
Like, we have used and abused you guys a lot, honestly.
'Bye, guys!
I feel like there's actually a potential...
I might be able to get to the end.
If I'd have been asked that starting this competition,
I kinda would've said no way.
I didn't think I was gonna last a week, to be honest,
but now I'm like it's actually possible.
DAVID: Alright, Ed and Jimi.
GRAEME: Ed and Jimi, Chief,
I think we did a little bit of running around,
thinking they may go to a festival.
No sighting of them there.
They do worry me.
They've completely changed their profile
from what I would call flamboyance to annoyance.
They were, you know, dressed up, partying and partying.
They've come on the run, now they're staying below the radar.
They're playing a very astute game.
So Simpf is gonna do, like, a cold case review
and just go back to square one.
Keeping it simple,
using the knowledge of what we know about them,
our intel, so what we've gleaned so far around their network.
Then, I guess, surveillance,
so electronic surveillance, physical surveillance.
I'll speak to Jase and Reece.
Cold case review is just effectively
going over everything again for a second time.
You know, the trail has gone cold on Ed and Jimi.
So we go back to the very start,
look at everything again with fresh eyes,
see if there's any gaps or anything we need to fill.
We underestimated Ed and Jimi probably to a degree.
We thought they would be flamboyant,
they'd be out there having fun and doing things on the fly.
Credit where credit's due,
they're a little bit tougher to work on.
So we'll go back and do that cold case review
with that different lens
of knowing we're up against something a little bit stronger
and come up with a plan.
We are in a great position right now.
We've got more resources, less teams to focus on.
I want to, as soon as we get some red-hot intelligence,
be right on them like a rat up a drainpipe
and just pour everything in, take them out of the game
and move on to the remaining ones.
OK, let's go. REECE: Let's do it.
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, Ed and Jimi
are hiding out at Craig and Linda's...
I told you, 6'1".
Bright blond hair. LINDA: Bright blond hair.
You're gonna stand out, mate.
You're gonna stand out!
..planning their riskiest move yet.
I think the last thing we should do today is the ATM thing
'cause I think it's the most risky.
Like, getting the cash out.
What we don't want to be doing is driving past an ATM.
There's cameras everywhere, outside, around.
Yeah, yeah.
So I think, like, going to an ATM
where we can park a car somewhere, walk to it
I reckon is gonna be really pivotal
to us getting this cash out and safely doing it.
Once we do it, we need to make haste.
Go. Yep.
Um, if we were gonna have a day out around town,
would we be able to borrow your car maybe?
Yeah, that's fine.
Awesome.
Alright, let's do this.
Why am I such a worrier? I'm worried now as well.
I'm just like, "Wait, wait, wait!" Money.
It's alright. We're coming back here. We're definitely coming back.
And you've got your notepad, don't you?
Yep.
It literally feels like we're at the end.
We're, like...
I can see it.
To me, if we get through the next 24 hours,
we will make extraction.
NARRATOR: In Glen Waverley,
a 30-minute drive from Craig and Linda's...
ED: Alright, let's do it.
Are we sure we want to do this?
Yep.
..low on cash and needing to survive
the next five days until extraction,
Ed and Jimi are about to make their first ATM withdrawal,
knowing it will trigger an alert back at HQ.
Yep, alright.
I'll be back soon. Good luck. Good luck.
Worried that their contact Linda's car could be spotted on CCTV,
Jimi has parked on a quiet back street
while Ed goes in search of an ATM on foot.
The second I get the cash out from both cards,
I'm legging it back to Jimi.
Hopefully, the car's running, ready to go
and we're just getting out of here.
(SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE) The siren's freaking me out as well.
(WHISPERS) You can do it, Ed. You can do it. You can do it.
Get that money. Get that money.
(SIREN WAILS)
Ed's always been a great friend to me.
And he's never let me down.
He's been there for me through really rough times in my work life
and he's always supported me and always had my back.
So...
..if for some reason we got separated right now
and I had to continue on my own,
I'd be completely devastated.
I don't...I don't even know if I can see an ATM anywhere.
Um, I haven't felt this way since day one.
Being out in the open is so difficult.
It just plays with your mind. It plays with your mind.
And I know that's what the hunters want.
The BP's literally right there.
I'm just gonna go straight in and straight out.
(MACHINE BEEPS)
Simpf. Yep.
We've had an ATM withdrawal from Jimi's bank card.
$100 at BP in Glen Waverley. Got ya.
Alpha, Alpha, this is Ops. This is urgent.
JASON: Go ahead, mate. Alpha's ready.
Not far from your current location,
we just received a hit on a bank card
for fugitives Ed and Jimi.
They're likely still in that location, Alpha.
Deploy to the BP service station in Glen Waverley. Over.
Yeah, copy, Reece. We're five out from that servo.
Yeah, roger that. Do what you need to do. Over.
Oh-hoo, oh-hoo. Get your running boots on, Nikki.
I want Ed back in the car and I want to go.
I want to be out of here.
Simpf, $100 was also taken from Ed's card.
Yep.
There's CCTV in Glen Waverley.
Sending it through to you now. Thank you.
HQ, Alpha, we are three minutes out.
Carter, Jay, you're on CCTV.
We want to know a car or direction of travel.
Got it.
(MACHINE BEEPS)
NARRATOR: In Glen Waverley, fugitives Ed and Jimi
have just made a $200 ATM withdrawal
to set them up for extraction in five days' time.
It's a big risk. It's a big risk.
HQ, Alpha, one minute out.
Team Alpha are just seconds behind Ed and Jimi.
(MACHINE BEEPS)
Just keep your eyes open and see what you can see.
Oh, we're actually over the road.
So many cameras.
HQ, Alpha.
We don't have visual.
We're just gonna chat to the attendant,
see if she recognises him
and then we'll go from there.
Roger that.
Hi. I was just wondering, did you see this guy come in at all?
He use the ATM?
Was he with another bloke or...
He was just on his own?
Yeah. Yeah.
No car?
So he comes from that way.
He does not like doing this.
Positive identification of Ed in the service station.
Two credit card transactions a minute apart
shows me that they want to do all their money dump in one go.
He's stressing a bit, isn't he? He is a bit.
Looking outside as if there was a vehicle or someone waiting.
We've missed it. Yeah.
There's major roads in and out of that area, Glen Waverley,
so every minute counts here.
Yep, here he is. We're in drive. Handbrake's down.
Yep, all good. Did you get cash?
Yep, got it, got it, got it.
OK, let's get out of here right now.
Yeah. Yep, let's go.
Doors are locked.
Well, this might be the first time we've popped up...
Let them know where we are. ..on their radar.
JASON: HQ, Alpha. REECE: Alpha, Ops.
Yeah, so the attendant remembers him being here, mate.
He came on his own.
He departed on foot south away from the service station.
Yeah, Alpha, Ops. Roger. Got it.
(BLEEP) This pisses me off.
Gotta be close by.
Surely someone would've tripped over them by now. They were bloody here.
South. Let's find another camera.
If we don't find them in the next 10 minutes, they could be gone.
Excellent.
NIKKI:
ATMs don't really take that long. No.
But waiting for that second one... Oh!
..I was literally like, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."
But it's good.
Well, we got nothing.
You know, we got direction of travel, which was down here.
So unless they're standing out on the footpath,
we're not gonna find them without some specific intel.
Oh, the thrill! It feels good.
Oh-ho! (LAUGHS)
Ooh, it's funny 'cause we know that right now they're talking about us.
(CHUCKLES) They better not catch us tonight or tomorrow.
Ben Owen, "Right, that's it! I'm sick of these two!
"They think they're so much better than us."
Quite frankly, guys, I'm up to pussy's bow with these two.
JAY:
Just...gone.
So not a bad move.
If you're gonna pull an ATM transaction,
you've got major freeways, major rail,
major everywhere to get away.
That's right.
Alpha, this is Ops.
Stand down, stand down, stand down.
(JASON GROANS)
Move back to CBD.
Cash money, baby!
Let's treat ourselves. "Treat ourselves."
By "Treat ourselves," I mean, like, $10 each. (LAUGHS)
"Did somebody say..."
THARREN: Oh, no! JORDAN: Oh, butter fingers!
Oh! Oh, get him out of the slip.
It's the hole!
We really have to make our mind up, what we're doing today.
The most important thing is that we survive this day,
we make it to the end
and we get that step closer to that end prize,
to that end goal of winning... of winning this game.
It's been a good night. It was a good day.
But it's now time to move on. Lock up and leave.
HOLLY: Oh, maybe I didn't pack a muesli bar.
Can I have one of yours?
Hee-hee! What are you gonna give me?
I think being on the run's drawn us closer together for sure.
Yeah, I feel like we've just needed
the quality time together, to be honest.
Yeah, every time we are together,
we kind of soak up all the time that we have.
I think that's why we've done so well on the run,
is 'cause this is nothing compared to some of the stuff we've had to...
Kind of the adversities that we've had to go through together.
Yeah.
Honestly, I do believe that the hunters are standing between us
and a new, improved beautiful life and lifestyle.
Love it!
NARRATOR: With four days until extraction,
HQ are pouring resources into the capture of Holly and Josh
after the discovery of a strong lead.
VIKKI: It looks like both their handwriting, isn't it,
but this is actually a very interesting lead
'cause there's a note that just says, "Ally - 16th,"
and then an address.
So it seems pretty likely that they're gonna do that.
Well, that might be good. It does seem like an oversight.
So this is a friend of Holly?
Yes, it is a friend of Holly.
Holly's diary led the hunters straight to contact Ally...
..with HQ now tracking her phone and car.
With this new lead,
the hunters have come up with a plan
to flush out the remainder of Holly and Josh's contacts.
So conceptually what we're wanting to do
is maintain pressure on every single associate of Josh and Holly
so that they are forced into a box
of using Ally's car, using Ally
so they can't go anywhere else, we have them contained
and the trap will be set and we'll just...
Just take them out, Chief. Love it.
If we miss this opportunity with Josh and Holly
right now, about how hot this lead is,
we may not get that opportunity again.
So this is crucial, to get it right.
We've got a plan. We've gotta be patient and we've gotta be tactical.
So this is game on.
MAN ON PHONE: Hello, it's Joel.
Yeah, Joel, my name's Graeme. I'm calling from Hunter HQ.
I'm the lead investigator. How are you?
Yeah, good, thanks. How are you? I'm well.
What can you tell me about Josh and Holly?
I can't tell you too much.
You haven't seen him in the last week?
Oh, I don't believe so unless I've...
You know, he's been off in the distance or something, but...
That'll...that'll be the last time you lie to me, Joel.
I'm an ex-cop, so I'll give you this one.
I won't ask a question I don't know the answer to. How's that?
He's full of shit. (LAUGHS)
REECE: Everyone's on Holly and Josh today.
All units very much focused on Holly and Joshua.
Let's start knocking on doors, ruffle some feathers
and see what everyone's got to say.
All units, all units,
let's start going towards the addresses now, then, please.
Come on, Bravo. Let's go. Game on.
HQ, this is Echo. We're 10 out from target address.
If they're here, mate, if they're in Geelong today,
we're gonna get 'em.
Mate, we have every single hunter team,
every person in cyber right now working on Josh and Holly.
We need to take them out.
I don't think Holly and Josh would split.
Nup.
(RADIO BLIPS)
All call signs, execute soft knocks. Over.
NARRATOR: The ground hunters divide and conquer
to put the squeeze on all of Holly and Josh's close contacts.
Yeah, it's been cleaned out apart from the fridge.
No-one's home, mate. Stand by.
Hello.
We'd like to come in, if we could.
Have you seen anyone? Nup.
Yeah? What about Josh and Holly? No.
No? Have you spoken to them?
Nup. Not at all?
Who do you think's sort of leading the charge
on making the plans, Holly or Josh?
MICHELLE: So what did he say his plans were,
like, his movements in relation to what he's going to be doing?
He didn't say a lot.
Marko, how well do you know Josh?
Yep. Have you got a phone on you that we're able to...
Just want to cover off a couple of things, mate.
We can have a look at that? Yeah.
Just gotta finish a few more questions.
How do you know Josh?
Is he? And you don't know where he is?
He doesn't trust you.
NARRATOR: With the majority of Holly and Josh's contacts now compromised,
the hunters will continue to closely monitor associate Ally.
We're throwing everything at Josh and Holly today. This is all-in.
If we can take them out of the game now,
then we're well on to a full capture of every fugitive team.
NARRATOR: Yesterday, the ground hunters
missed Ed and Jimi's successful ATM heist by seconds,
but HQ have been piecing together CCTV from the area
and are finally making progress.
Chief, the blue Hyundai Accent
was seen travelling east on Cypress Avenue at 19:39.
The vehicle had two male occupants
matching the descriptions of fugitives Ed and Jimi.
We've got the vehicle registration.
I'll send you the details now.
Is that a blue Hyundai 2016?
Yes, that's correct.
Put in an historic ANPR for that car.
Ben.
There's a confirmed vehicle for Craig,
registered to Clyde North.
Cheers. Thank you, Desi. Pleasure.
He took them or picked them up from the servo.
So we've managed to batten together some CCTV footage
from when Ed and Jimi took the money out at that BP
all the way back down around the corner.
NARRATOR: The hunters have now linked Craig and Linda's car
to Ed and Jimi's ATM withdrawal,
giving them a strong lead to investigate.
DAVID: Ed and Jimi - an outstanding lead with Craig and Linda.
We can definitely exploit that.
Roger. Well, I'm ready, mate, if you are.
We are good to go.
Hi, guys.
We have identified a significant contact called Craig.
Craig lives down to the south-east of Melbourne.
So Craig may have lent Ed and Jimi a vehicle.
Ed actually was seen at an ATM.
After that, they were seen -
or two people matching the description of Ed and Jimi -
in a vehicle that Craig Moore owns,
which is a blue Hyundai Accent.
We're kind of thinking with you guys, just to go in there and see...
You know, just force him on the car and see what falls out of the tree.
Yep. Yep, alright. Let's do it.
LINDA: So you ready to go?
I think we are ready. It's been a crazy 48 hours.
Some food to keep you going. Food.
Yesterday, I feel like Ed and I
took the biggest risk so far of our game play,
but although it was a risk, it was a big move for us as well.
We not only got cash out,
which is going to really help us
in the final week of being fugitives on the run,
but we also put a location on the map
for the hunters to think that we're hanging around,
which is absolutely nowhere near where we are today
or where we're going to be later.
So today we're just wanting to get out of suburban Melbourne
and, yeah, drop those breadcrumbs.
Hey, Sandy. It's Ed, Maria's son calling. How are you?
We were just wondering,
is it possible for us to stay at your place?
Also, another favour, if possible -
would someone be able to at all pick us up from Dandenong Train Station?
We're taking a bit of a risk
and we're going to meet up with the cousin of Ed's mum, Sandy,
who's gonna take us in as fugitives for a couple of nights.
OK, thanks. 'Bye.
Good job, Ed.
Let's come up through here again.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Hello. Craig, how are you?
Alright. Yourself? Yeah, good, good.
That's the way. Can we come through?
Yeah. Awesome.
Are you the only one home, Craig?
Yep. OK.
So is that your car out the front?
Yep. Yep?
Do you have any other cars? Um, my wife's car.
And what car is that?
A blue, uh... Hyundai?
Yeah, XL. Yeah, yeah.
Has that been driving around recently?
Yeah, of course. She drives.
Yeah, yeah. Does she know Jimi?
Yeah, yeah. He's a friend of my son's.
Ah, OK.
So you didn't see Jimi down in Glen Waverley?
No, no. No? OK.
So is she with Jimi now?
No. Oh, OK.
Did you think that your wife was gonna help them?
I don't know. I mean, if they asked, yeah, we would.
Right. Yeah, 'cause if...
'Cause she did.
Oh, well, if she did, she did. She didn't tell me.
Right, that's interesting, isn't it?
What you don't know, you can't tell.
That's it. Mmm.
(TRAIN HORN HOOTS)
NARRATOR: Cashed-up and only four days' out from extraction,
Ed and Jimi have remained off the radar for 17 days.
And as planned, they've arrived in the Dandenong region
to stay with Ed's relative Sandy for the next 48 hours.
We're pretty confident they've got no idea
about Sandy and her connection to Ed
so we're pretty confident we're safe to have her pick us up.
ED: Hey, Sandy. Look at you, all incognito.
Thank you for picking us up.
Well, I was wondering what your plans were
'cause we never discussed anything.
Like, our plan has literally been
we'll figure out what we're doing tomorrow, like...
Because if we don't know where we're going,
the hunters don't know where we're going.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's fine.
Oh, here we go. The dogs.
There's Murphy. (LAUGHS)
Hello!
Say, "Hello, hello, hello!"
Hello, Bella! Hello!
Um, so tell us.
Nothing suspicious.
We've been checking out. No-one's been parked out the front.
I'm feeling on edge 'cause we're so close to the end of the game.
We're literally so close.
We're assuming...
Well, we think so many fugitive teams would've been caught already.
The hunters might be focusing just on us or just on two teams
so they will be completely outnumbering the fugitives now.
Do we have a better chance
of one of us getting to the end if we split up?
Do you stay two nights and do one night on your own?
Yep.
And that way, we can get extraction information together.
You'll just have to figure out a plan for 24 hours
based on what the extraction information is.
Yeah.
I think I feel like...
..I should leave tomorrow and not come back.
But it just scares me, going out on my own.
I think I need to be ready to leave tomorrow morning and...
And just see what... See how your guts are feeling.
And when I go, I go,
and if tomorrow I decide that's not the right decision, that's fine,
but be ready to leave tomorrow morning.
I've been so...proud, I suppose,
of the game that Jimi and I have played together.
I...I didn't know what to expect,
spending 24/7 with Jimi.
I totally thought we would fight and, like... But we haven't.
Like, this whole experience has just been us.
Yes, we've had highs and lows, but for the most part,
it's just been us enjoying the experience
and enjoying doing this together.
Now we've decided that Jimi's leaving tomorrow,
we're doing that split, it's...
I'm more scared now, I think.
(TEARFULLY) I don't think I realised how much of a friend Jimi was to me.
He's honestly one of my best friends.
He's one of my favourite people in the world.
And I'm really scared to be leaving him tomorrow.

of the thrilling second series of Hunted Australia
with full episodes on 10 play.
JORDAN: Now we find someone who's willing to help.
And here we are, very close to the end.
We're in the final week.
THARREN: Three-quarters of the way through.
And who doesn't love an underdog story?
David versus Goliath.
I'm Tharren. Jordan.
Jordan, Ross. Lovely to meet you.
G'day, Ross.
Heya, we're fugitives on the run.
We need just some shelter for a little bit
'cause we've been walking for a while.
Happy to do odd jobs for a bit of help in return.
We do need to get out of this region.
So we're also looking for a bit of a lift somewhere
if you know anyone that's sort of travelling.
Oh, OK. Yeah.
It's really starting to set into stone
that, so far, we've played a pretty good game.
We're not there yet.
Our odds right now would be quite high, obviously.
Don't know who... What teams are still left out there.
Have the cleanest buggies in the area. (CHUCKLES)
NARRATOR: Having spent the night at a remote campsite,
Holly and Josh are ready to head back to suburbia
to make use of their associate Ally.
Ally is, um...
..my mum's friend's brother's daughter.
There's a total allure for us to go to Ally's
because, honestly, we could use a bed,
we could use a good night's sleep,
we could use facilities, even a good meal.
We need to feel energised, we need to feel fuelled
if we're going to make it to extraction day.
So there are actually a lot of benefits
as to why utilising a friend
could kind of help us get to the end point.
Yeah, definitely going for her
because it's not exactly like she's a close, close contact.
This is a good one to use because it's not like it's super hot.
But Holly is unaware that the discovery of her diary
led the ground hunters to Ally
and she's now red-hot,
with HQ tracking her phone and vehicle.
So we should probably go over there and use their phone to call Ally.
Yep, let's actually call Ally.
Let's just make sure that plan is, like, legit first.
I actually want to ask her straight off the bat
if she's heard anything or seen any hunters.
Hi there! Sorry to scare you guys.
I'm Holly and this is Josh. Hello there! How's it going?
Hi. Sorry to come out of nowhere.
So Josh and I are actually fugitives on the run,
which means we're off the grid, we don't have a phone.
We were just hoping to use one of your phones
to make a quick phone call to a friend.
Is that OK?
Thank you so much. You're the best. Oh, thanks, legends.
Hey, Ally, how are you going?
Simpf, we've just received intel regarding Ally's phone.
Copy. Thanks, Bree.
Can we listen to that? Yeah, coming up now, Chief.
HOLLY:
ALLY:
Yeah, perfect. Oh, great. That would be fantastic.
Maybe if you could come to Tanners Bend Campgrounds at 9am,
we'll totally be ready for you and we'll get out of here.
Oh, OK, thank you. Interesting.
Yeah, thanks for letting us know.
ALLY:
HOLLY:
ALLY:
And what car would you be coming in?
Alright, see you soon.
Hectic!
Whoo! OK, well, they are definitely on to us.
We'll definitely have to use her as a lift and go find...
I don't know if we can even use her for a lift is the only problem.
Yeah, I know. Um...
It is risky.
Alright, let's fire it up, guys. This is a red-hot opportunity.
I want these people in the bag so we can move on to someone else.
We got a tracker on the vehicle
coming to pick them up at 9 o'clock this morning.
Righto, Alpha, we're hot on the trail
of Holly and Josh, Holly and Josh.
We believe that they may still be together.
The area we're looking at
is Tanners Road Bend Camping Ground.
We have a person of interest, Ally's vehicle,
with a vehicle tracker on board.
Yeah, it's on the move.
Oh.
Bravo, I need you to deploy down to Tanners Road Bend Camping Ground
to vector in to that location and do a camp search.
HUNTER: Bravo, copy.
Confirmed - canine is stood up. Over.
Alright, team, good hunting.
NARRATOR: It's a 39-minute drive
from associate Ally's home
to the campgrounds where fugitives Holly and Josh
are waiting to be picked up.
While Team Alpha are focused on tracking Ally's car...
JASON: Holly and Josh made a phone call to Ally,
who we have a tracker on her car,
and we're heading down to try and locate the vehicle.
Bravo is closing in on the campgrounds
with a tracking canine to cover all bases.
JOSH: I think this is hot.
Yeah, it is. It is super hot.
'Cause I have a feeling they may have even, um...
Yeah.
..like, tracked her phone.
And I just said it as well, just over...
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, crap, so they know we're in Tanners Bend.
Well, we might even ask if we can get a lift out of here.
We actually wanted to ask a massive, massive favour to you guys
just to kind of keep us in the game.
Um, is there any potential you guys would be able to drop us nearby?
Like, a caravan park or something?
No, that's all good. I know.
Is it alright if I just use your Google Maps and have a look around?
Is that alright? Yeah? Thank you so much.
Having exhausted options at the campsite,
Holly and Josh continue with their plan
to grab a lift with Ally who is in transit 20 minutes away.
Ally's gonna be here at 9:00.
We quickly get in Ally's car and then she drops us off somewhere
and then she drives off wherever very quickly
'cause they can't chase her.
Yep, but at this point, we could literally get caught.
We've just heard news that the destination we were gonna go to,
Ally, you know, was contacted by the hunters
and they were expecting us to be there.
That paranoia's definitely coming in to play
and we're gonna basically
be hitting the boots running.
Maybe we should go hide out and plan.
Yeah, let's just hide out for a sec.
I just need to think. Let me think.
I'm feeling pretty stressed.
It makes us realise that, you know,
they probably kind of found out our entire network
of friends and people that we trust and can rely on.
So, yeah, we're gonna have to really change up our tactics.
I think Ally, yep, picks us up.
We need to do anything we can to survive.
I think we have to split as well.
Like, when? Immediately?
I think Josh and I have to make the executive decision
to split immediately,
um, kind of splitting their resources
and making them have to try and track two of us now.
I don't think they'd anticipate that we would be splitting so quickly,
so that's an advantage for us.
I'm scared by it, but I'm also excited by it
because I do want to see how I go on my own.
We both split.
And we head different directions.
(CRUNCHING)
(CONTEMPORARY ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
Keep red-hot on it. We've got a tracker on Ally's car.
So we are looking pretty good.
We're actively tracking Holly and Josh.
They've got no idea we're this close to them.
We're tracking phones, vehicles, their associates' phones.
We're all over them.
We're not gonna get this close again.
They know they're red-hot. We know they're red-hot.
It's game on and gloves off.
Stick that in your pipe.
Yeah, no, I like it. I like it.
Ally's the transport option for Josh and Holly out of Geelong.
We just don't know where they're going yet.
But we're getting ahead of them and we're gonna pounce.
It doesn't get any hotter than this. They've got no chance.
REECE: Bravo, this is Ops.
Continue to the campsite.
Conduct clearance of area. Over
HUNTER: Righto, stand by, Bluey.
HUNTER 2: Bravo five minutes out.
NARRATOR: Knowing the hunters have compromised their contact Ally,
Josh and Holly have made the tactical decision
to split up and leave the campsite separately.
HOLLY: Now, how will I get on without you?
Um, honestly, my heart will go on, you know?
(BOTH LAUGH)
Just sing the song.
There's a lot of reasons that we have to split.
I assume that Ally's been compromised
because we told her over the phone where our location was
and we told her a time to meet us,
so we imagine they will be right behind her.
We are out of options
and we literally have to flee the site.
So this is our snack bag. Important stuff.
We have to divide it up.
Don't want us to go hungry.
Or we can just peg food at the hunters.
Strategy.
This is the first time it feels like they are super hot on our trail.
It feels like they are moments away from us.
Every decision we make feels like a $100,000 decision.
So much is at stake here.
You'll be fine, buddy.
Mm, you too. You too. (IMITATES CRYING)
If Josh doesn't make it to the end, then I potentially could
and I could kind of carry the team.
I love you. I love you too, buddy.
Like, I kind of owe that to myself and I owe that to Josh.
I feel like I'm walking out on death row.
Oh!
I need to step up. It just has to be done. There's no other option.
It's time. It's crunch time.
Ally's here. Oh, go, go, go, go. I love you, I love you.
I love you. 'Bye, 'bye, 'bye.
Alright, let's do it.
Alright, I'm going.
We're probably gonna go straightaway because they're pretty hot on us.
Where are we off to?
Let's just head towards Geelong, if that's OK.
We'll actually go past Geelong Station.
Do you have a phone that I could borrow by any chance?
REECE: Alpha, this is Ops.
Ally's car has arrived at the campsite.
We are tracking her live.
Vehicle is back on the move.
Yeah, mate, noting that that vehicle is on the move.
We are gonna vector in on the vehicle,
which we are live tracking.
I'm trying to give Holly as best chance as possible
and, yeah, I'm just gonna make it very, very hot on my tail.
As Team Alpha track Ally's car north...
..Team Bravo arrive at the campsite...
..unaware that Holly is on foot,
moving north to work out her next move.
HQ, Bravo.
Bravo, Ops, over.
That's us complete with canine, ready to clear that campsite. Over.
Bravo, I'm gonna get you guys to canvass any campers on the ground,
see if they've sighted any of the fugitives or left any sign.
Good to go, mate.
Alright, yep. Release.
Good hunting. Out.
(HOLLY GRUNTS)
Keep going. Yep. Got three campsites on the left.
Roger. Yep.
HQ, Bravo.
No sign as yet.
Hello, ladies. How you going? Good. Yourself?
Yeah, good. We're just looking for these two here.
We know they've definitely camped in here last night.
Have you seen them at all? I saw the girl, yeah.
You saw her? Where was she? She was over there camping.
Like, right here? Yeah.
Yep, but not the guy?
Yep, she was... Definitely her? Yep.
And do you know whereabouts you saw her?
Um, just kind of walking through here.
OK, OK, thanks so much, ladies.
Bravo, we have positive identification
that they were at this campsite last night and this morning - break.
REECE: Roger. Tracking well, tracking well.
We're gonna move in and exploit visually and keep moving. Over.
NARRATOR: With a vast area of forest and trails surrounding the campsite,
the canine is searching for any human scent
to pinpoint Holly's location to fast-track her capture.
Search.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(BARKS)
HOLLY: I am very scared
that the hunters are literally right behind.
NARRATOR: With less than 48 hours on the run...
REECE: We have eyes on the vehicle.
Come on. Nowhere to run.
..the stakes are high as fugitives split...
See you Tuesday. Alright, you can do this.
You can do it. OK.
Fugitives splitting at this late stage of the hunt
is always bad news because it doubles our workload.
GRAEME: We're in a world of hurt if all of them have split.
With $100,000 on the line...
We're not going anywhere. We're staying together side by side.
..can they reach extraction...
JASON: Go, Nikki! Go!
DAVID: Come on, Nikki! REECE: Go! Go!
Go, girl! Go, go, go!
..or will the hunters track them down one by one?
Go, you good thing! MAN: Run, run, run, run!
