VOICEOVER: 20 days ago...
Items in the box.
..20 ordinary Australians...
The boat is docking. Standing by.
..went on the run.
Let's go! The fugitives are on the run!
They are off! They are off! This is critical.
Chopper's on top of us! Under cover, under cover.
With more tactics and dirty tricks...
Oh, my god! We've been writing in invisible ink.
They've put a home-made tracking device under our car.
..the elite team of hunters up the ante.
It's absolutely become personal.
I'd like to hack into their systems.
We're gonna throw everything at this tonight.
Can you see that?
One by one...
Go, go, go, go! (WOMEN SCREAM)
(HUNTERS CHEER)
Eyes on, eyes on, eyes on!
Go round the back. Go round the back.
There she is. Let's go. Let's go!
..the fugitives were trapped...
We've got you surrounded! Stop there! Stop there!
Time on the run is over! You have been hunted down!
..cornered...
Your time on the run is over. You have been hunted down.
..and outsmarted.
Oh, I've got 'em! Eyes on! Eyes on!
You've been hunted down. Your time on the run is over.
(HUNTERS CHEER)
Whoo!
Now just four remain.
We've got 16 fugitives in the bag
but right now, that doesn't mean anything.
Charismatic powerhouse Jimi...
It's been such a journey. Now I've just gotta finish it.
..strong-willed Holly...
It's right there. I can do this.
..and inseparable father-and-son duo Tharren and Jordan.
Yeah, yeah! We're winnin'!
They'll each make the call for extraction details...
WOMAN: Extraction is tomorrow at 2:30pm.
..revealing their location to the hunters.
That's it. Go, go, go.
Today, everything is on the line...
Let's go, let's go! Come on!
Pull it up, now. Now, now!
..for the hunters...
Go, go, go!
..and the hunted.
(OMINOUS MUSIC)
OK. HQ hunters, could I have everyone's attention, please?
We've got some serious talking to do.
We've got some serious work to do. Roger that, chief.
OK.
I said at the start of this hunt,
anything less than a clean sweep is a fail.
We've got 16 fugitives in the bag.
We've done some great work to get there.
But right now, that doesn't mean anything.
We need a clean sweep.
Now let's kick some fugitive rear-end.
HUNTERS: Roger that, chief. Right.
Chief.
This last 24 hours is absolutely vital for us.
We've got a short time frame to work on.
We've still got four fugitives left.
We captured Ed yesterday.
Jimi, he doesn't know,
so he either feels confident or incredibly paranoid or both.
JIMI: This game's a mind-(BLEEP)
Are the hunters even real?
Are they even real?
Hello! I'm Ben Owen.
I think Holly is in a state of chaos, mentally.
I think she knows that Joshua's been caught.
Oh, not great, Sue.
I was just so nervous about today.
I've got that, like, stress and adrenaline going,
because I care, because, like, I want to get there.
We think Tharren and Jordan may have split at this point,
trying to increase the chance of getting to extraction.
We just need to wrap them up very, very quickly.
Two separate fugitives doubles our workload.
VOICEOVER: After staying overnight with cricket player Kirsty...
Do youse need a car?
Do you have a spare one? Yeah.
Oh-ho-ho. Absolute game-changer.
Yeah. That would change the game for us.
VOICEOVER: ..and now borrowing her car,
Tharren and Jordan are still very much together.
Then we're gonna head towards Keilor-ish area.
Keilor. Yeah, yeah.
VOICEOVER: Prior to going on the run,
each fugitive was given a phone number with a date and time
to call and receive the extraction location
and time of departure.
We need to find a pay phone,
then what we're gonna do
is actually park the car maybe five minutes away.
Once the call is made...
Oh! Thank you so much.
..the fugitives' location will be revealed to the hunters
and the 24-hour countdown to extraction -
and a share of the $100,000 prize money -
begins.
We've gotta be careful how we use the car.
We're gonna plan this out meticulously,
make sure we have a plan of attack,
make sure we use this opportunity.
Hello, Mr Car Driver.
But yeah, I'm just so excited.
The optimist in me is going, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! We're winnin'!
"We've won already! This is awesome!"
VOICEOVER: In HQ...
I want your hunter game-faces on.
..Reece is deploying all five ground hunter teams
to lay in wait for the fugitives.
We're gonna do a bit of tactical placement,
so Bravo, heading up to Woodend.
Alpha, Werribee.
Charlie, Brighton.
Delta will go to Bonbeach.
And, Echo, you're heading down to Geelong.
I need your running legs on.
You're gonna get a capture today.
Let's get it done.
HOLLY: I have a few strategies for today
but they all depend on whether or not
I can actually get a stranger's help.
I want to give you guys a hug. You guys are the best.
After meeting Helen and Sue through a community gardening group,
Holly has arranged a lift with more local gardeners,
Keith and Leslie.
Hello, guys!
Aww, you've even got pillows in the back!
They've agreed to take Holly to their volunteer bush-weeding group
in nearby Anglesea.
I assume, at this point,
every single one of our friends is compromised.
Seeking out strangers and asking them for help -
it's an uncomfortable experience, to be honest.
But as long as I'm really smart and strategic,
keep a low profile,
I will get to extraction un-noticed.
Everyone, this is Holly. Hi!
Hi, guys.
Maybe I come across as less intelligent -
you know, look at me as a children's entertainer and a dancer.
This is not what I thought I'd be doing 24 hours before extraction.
I think people think
there's no chance she has a way of outsmarting these people,
that have intel
and military experience.
Whereabouts are you from?
Oh, that is so close to me!
But being able to chat to people and be good with people
has been a huge asset and advantage for me.
Oh, look at that!
Sexy!
With the ground hunters in position
before the fugitives must soon make their phone call...
..in inner-city Melbourne...
Thank you so much. Oh, that's OK.
..Jimi is parting ways with his old work colleague Helena,
hoping to rely on the help of strangers.
Um, my name's Jimi - I'm a fugitive on the run
and I was wondering if you might be able to help me.
Oh, you can do...? That's OK. No worries. You have a lovely day.
But he doesn't have the best track record.
Mate, I would actually love to help you but my wife...gave birth.
I'm just picking up coffee and I've gotta go straight back there.
Bro, that is so cool. That is... I'd totally be there if I could.
I've gotta get back to my missus. No, no. 100%, you do that, mate.
Thank you for talking to me anyway. I appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
I'm glad tomorrow's extraction,
because my mind is so exhausted.
I'm finding it a really tough day to do this.
This has been the biggest challenge I've ever faced in my entire life.
Hey. How you doing?
It's been such a journey with so many highs and so many lows.
Now I've just gotta finish it.
I'm hoping to find someone who might be able to drive me somewhere,
anywhere, to make that phone call.
Oh, we're on foot. Oh, you're on foot?
We've walked from home. What if I walked back with you guys?
That's OK. That would be absolutely amazing.
And, um...yeah, awesome. You guys lead the way.
Bloody Aussie legends.
I am so lucky that I met Bec and Nick.
Thank you for helping me.
This entire game, I've gone with my gut
on when I can or can't trust people.
And with Bec and Nick,
I have the gut feeling that I can trust them.
So, you're on day 20? Day 20.
Did you have someone else with you? I did.
I had my best mate, Ed, with me
and, um, we've had a really, really good plan to get to the end.
Ed will hopefully be getting ready
to make the phone call for extraction info
and then meet at the extraction location.
Alright! Do you know a pay phone around here?
I do. Yes, I do.
As HQ prepare for when the fugitives' locations will be revealed...
Every little bit of intel, from cell dumps to CCTV,
let's convert it into something that we can action.
Primed on doing that, chief.
..Holly has been hard at work,
planning her getaway strategy,
lining up a lift with Rob
and borrowing a phone from Jasmine.
Oh, thank you so much.
I'm just gonna go take it over there and I'll be right back.
Holly is the first fugitive to make the call
for extraction info.
(PHONE RINGS)
WOMAN: Extraction is scheduled
for tomorrow at 2:30pm.
The location is the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Your location has now been disclosed to the hunters.
Hey, chief? Yes?
A fugitive has access the extraction details using a handset.
I'm sending you the coordinates now.
Here we go. Game is on. Go get it, team.
VOICEOVER: While the hunters are notified
of the exact whereabouts of the call...
Yeah, Anglesea. Anglesea, yep.
..they aren't given the phone number the call was made from
or which fugitive made it.
I'm gonna say Holly.
Jasmine, thank you so much.
She was last around that area on that side of the bay.
Alrighty-right. Is it OK if I jet off with the wonderful Rob?
It's in the arse-end of nowhere.
Not much to work on with cameras
but they could be using a random member of the public's phone.
Alright. Can we request a cell dump for that location, please?
Copy, chief. I'll do that.
We're doing a complete cell dump
of all the phone numbers that were in the tower
at the exact location
extraction details were obtained by the fugitive.
If I can identify that number that made that call,
we can track that phone number and the handset,
give the ground hunters somewhere to narrow in on
and hopefully catch a fugitive.
Thanks, Bec. I'll see you soon. I'll see you in a few minutes.
So stressful!
WOMAN: The location is the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Your location has now been disclosed to the hunters.
A fugitive has accessed the extraction details
using a public phone location in Coburg.
Cheers. Thank you very much.
OK. We've had two pings. We've got four fugitives out there.
We've got less than 24 hours to go.
Let's just keep our hand on the throat.
Yes, chief. Yes, chief.
There it is.
Bravo, urgent, urgent, urgent.
That ping has occurred from a local phone box in Coburg,
on Moreland Road.
You are the closest call sign.
Bravo, good copy. Moving now.
Awesome, team. Awesome.
Oh. Coming back.
OK. I just need to get to the MCG at 2:30pm tomorrow.
We're gonna stick with the original plan of going to Richmond.
Richmond? OK.
That's it. Let's go. Come on.
We have extraction details have been accessed,
using a public phone located in Old Calder Highway in Keilor.
Let's pull up some businesses' cameras there.
So, to the north-west.
Oh, there's a camera right on the box.
We'll know soon enough, if we get four pings,
if Tharren and Jordan have split.
Do we think that's the last one? Potentially.
Hey, chief? Yes?
We have CCTV footage
from the Old Keilor Road.
OK. So, this is near that phone box.
That is Tharren.
They're still together.
Positive ID. Tharren and Jordan. Tharren and Jordan. Awesome.
Yes! Get in!
Let's have it.
Tharren and Jordan. They haven't split.
This is a bad move for them.
This is as red-hot as intelligence gets.
In that notebook are the extraction details.
I want that bloody notebook.
They absolutely are gonna be at a disadvantage now, together.
They're making a mistake and mistakes equals captures.
VOICEOVER: CCTV of Tharren and Jordan
making their call for extraction details
in the north-west suburb of Keilor
confirms the father-and-son duo are still on the run together.
(CHORTLES) Yes! Yes!
Let's have it.
Tharren and Jordan. They haven't split.
It is a bad move for them.
They're absolutely gonna be at a disadvantage now, together.
Right. We've got all the pings from all the fugitives.
We know who we're hunting.
Alright. Can we request a cell dump from that location, please?
Copy, chief. I'll do that. Thank you.
If there's any businesses there that we can access,
we can phone them up right now and ask them if they've seen a fugitive.
Hello. Good morning. My name's Ben.
I'm wondering if you can help me, please.
VOICEOVER: As well as using old-school detective work
to chase down any additional leads...
Looks like they've gone to the right,
so I'd say that they're...
that they've got a vehicle around the corner.
..the hunters are employing more creative means
to catch the last remaining fugitive pair.
I wonder, is there any scope
for, like, pushing stuff out on social media.
Absolutely.
We could put out a Facebook post, an Instagram post -
"Click here if you've got something to contribute."
Yeah. I like it. "Last seen here.
"This is what they were wearing then."
I really like that. I want everyone to see it.
I mean, 'cause I want Tharren and Jordan.
Yeah.
Because we've only got 24 hours left,
I think the fastest way that we're going to get public awareness
to capture Tharren and Jordan
is to get it out on social media.
Somebody knows where they are.
Somebody's seen them and we want them to tell us.
VOICEOVER: Unaware they've become Melbourne's most wanted...
You da man. You're the man.
No, I think you're da man.
..Tharren and Jordan are on their way to a friend's house,
37km north of the MCG,
in Doreen,
where they plan to stay on their last night before extraction.
I mean, what a place to finish!
It's an awesome place to finish. It is a golden place.
The hallowed surface of the MCG.
You ever walked on the grass? No. I might steal some grass.
My only worry, honestly,
is if somehow the hunters do get the location,
it is probably fairly easy to kind of protect.
Surround, yeah. Surround.
We are going to make sure
that we accomplish something that hasn't been done yet
and that is be the first team to finish together.
Game on. Let's go.
VOICEOVER: While Bravo are on their way to the Coburg pay phone,
where they know one of the fugitives
made their call for extraction details...
We're 1 minute out. Stand by.
Roger.
..HQ's hunt for CCTV in the area
has finally paid off.
Simpf? Yep.
We have CCTV of Jimi.
This is at 10:35 this morning in Coburg.
Excellent.
BEN: So, Coburg. That's Jimi.
Excellent.
Bravo, be advised that we have confirmation CCTV in Coburg,
of the fugitive Jimi.
That's a good copy, mate.
I'll send this image to the ground hunters, Reece.
Roger. Really, really good.
The hunters have also requested data analysis
of the cell tower nearest the pay phone,
to find any handsets that were being used nearby.
Ben and chief? Yes, mate?
In relation to Coburg,
identified a number from the cell dump there,
ending in 194.
We think we've identified a really critical phone number
that was in the area where the extraction details were obtained.
That number then immediately left that area.
Can we get a check on this 194 number, please?
See who that's registered to. Yep.
Maybe someone associated with the fugitive.
Copy that.
We know the fugitive's left the area
immediately after obtaining those extraction details,
so the phone that was in that tower
at the time it was accessed then leaves -
that's the number we need to chase.
Ben? Simpf? Yeah?
We've just got intel following the cell dump in Coburg.
We did a phone subscriber check -
the number belongs to a Rebecca.
She resides in Coburg. I'll send you the details now.
That's awesome. Excellent.
Oh, right. OK.
She actually lives walking distance
to where that phone box was that Jimi's accessed.
I think we need to get there pretty soon.
Hey, guys. A hot lead with Jimi.
There was a number that we identified
through cell site analysis of the area - Rebecca.
Bravo, guys, if you could head towards that location,
Rebecca could be with Jimi as we speak.
It could be Jimi's at the house.
Thank you, guys.
I reckon we'll have him in the bag today, mate.
Old Jimi-boy. Let's get him done.
Jimi in the binny.
HQ, this is Bravo. Moving in now.
VOICEOVER: On arriving at Rebecca's house...
..Team Bravo find her husband, Nick.
Where's Jimi?
Yeah? Where...where'd he go?
We're actually a bit worried about him, mate,
so we just need to know where he is.
Oh, OK.
There she is. Hi.
G'day. How you going?
Yeah, good, thanks. How are you going?
Yeah, very well, thank you. Is Jimi here?
No. Where is he?
I don't know where he is. OK.
He's gone to that phone booth up on the corner.
Yep.
We don't know where he is now, though.
Oh, I actually don't know where he is, to be honest.
Are you able to show us through the property, make sure he's not here?
After being dropped off by Rebecca in Richmond,
only a 15-minute walk from the extraction point,
Jimi is keen to get off the streets
as quickly as possible.
JIMI: There are a lot of hotels
and a lot of accommodation options in the area.
I am gonna go into this hotel.
I've stayed here before but it's, like, a proper chain and stuff,
so it's probably a long shot
that they'll let me stay without a credit card.
Um, I was wondering
if you potentially had any rooms available tonight.
Yeah. One night only, yeah.
Also, there's one other tiny caveat.
I've only got cash to pay.
I don't have a credit card.
Thank you very much, mate. Awesome.
I was super lucky that they let me book the room
without putting down any credit card information.
There's $200 and then 1, 2, 5, 7, 8.
I'm so happy
to be here.
I made some big moves today.
I took a few risks but I found myself in a great spot,
somewhere I feel safe
and somewhere I can stay until just before extraction.
At HQ, the hunters are still waiting to receive cell tower data
in relation to Holly.
As soon as we start getting cell sites
on the phone that was used to access that one, we're in.
Simpf, we've a cell-dump result...
..in the location of Anglesea.
I'll send you the details now. Thank you. Here we go.
I can do phone subscriber checks.
Cell tower analysis has now identified three mobile phones
in the Anglesea area
that were making calls at the time of Holly's call for extraction details.
Let's go get it.
(PHONES RING)
ELECTRONIC VOICE: Welcome to the voicemail system.
Your message is too short.
Please try again. Like me.
(LAUGHTER)
Having secured a lift and now accommodation
from bush-weeding volunteer Rob...
Cool. This is gorgeous.
..Holly has found herself in Ascot Vale,
7km from the extraction point,
for her final night on the run.
Well, if there's anything you want me to do tonight,
put me to work.
So, anything you can think of, happy to.
Yeah, sure. No, not a problem.
I'm grateful but...
oh, definitely feeling nervous.
And it's good that there was a big group when I left,
so there's more for them to investigate.
I'm just trusting Jasmine won't lead them to my whereabouts.
I really hope not.
(PHONE RINGS) WOMAN: Hello?
Hello. Is that Jasmine?
Yeah. Hello. My name's Ben. How are you?
Good, thanks. How are you? I'm not too bad at all, thank you.
Um, so, you had an interesting morning this morning, I think.
You probably spoke to a young lady called Holly.
Um, yeah.
I just made a phone call...or she made a phone call on my phone.
And then she got into a car with another person
and they drove off.
He just said that he was going to Melbourne.
Any specific place in Melbourne? Did he mention a specific place?
Um...yeah.
Go on. What's that?
Ascot Vale.
VOICEOVER: If you are keen to be on Hunted,
register your interest at:
(PHONE RINGS)
WOMAN: Hello?
Hello. Is that Jasmine? Yeah.
You probably spoke to a young lady called Holly.
She got into a car with another person
and they drove off.
Did he mention a specific place?
Ascot Vale.
Yep. Yep. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Whoo-hoo!
Nice work, Ben. Nice work.
Can we do a comparative cell-dump analysis
from where...that location was
and some towers at Ascot Vale,
looking for commonalities between the two?
Yep. We've gotta go all in. Let's do it.
VOICEOVER: Across the Greater Melbourne area...
Thank you for dinner.
Sweet potato salad, some strawberries - oh!
..the remaining four fugitives
are settling in for their final night on the run.
JORDAN: We're that close now,
the hunters will be throwing the kitchen sink at us.
OK. HQ hunters, it's extraction day. It all comes down to this.
We've got ground-hunter teams,
we've got social media, got a poster campaign.
They're gonna feel extremely exposed.
I want to show four fugitives
the inside of a ground hunter's vehicle today.
Get it for me. HUNTERS: Yes, chief!
Chief? Yes?
Just received intel about Holly, regarding a cell dump.
I'll send you the details now.
Thank you. Could you send that straight to Ben and to cyber, please?
Yes, chief. Oh, that one? That's the new number?
Alright. So, subscriber check.
VOICEOVER: After cross-referencing all handsets in the Anglesea area
at the time of Holly's extraction call
with the thousands of phones
accessing cell towers in Ascot Vale yesterday,
the hunters have finally found a match.
We've just received confirmation on the number ending in 051.
Yep. It belongs to a Rob.
He has a property in Ascot Vale. Oh!
Yeah. I'll send you the details now. OK.
Thank you so much for letting me stay here.
Oh, it's a pleasure. And, like, giving me a lift.
Thanks. Bye.
Thank you!
We've just got confirmation of a Robert -
uh, he has an address in Ascot Vale.
Bravo 5 minutes out. Moving now.
We're really close to Holly. I think she's got no idea how close we are.
400 metres, left turn.
She's either at the Ascot Vale address or has recently left.
Either way, we're just right up behind.
G'day, mate. How are you?
Good, thanks. What's your name? Why?
Is it Robert? Yes.
Yeah. Robert. Good. Thanks for confirming that.
Robert, is Holly here?
No?
Where's Holly?
Robert, uh, I need to have a quick look through the house,
to make sure she's not here.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)
Let's go back one step, that interaction you had with Holly.
Great. Um, what time did she leave this morning?
OK. Did she use one of your vehicles to leave?
OK. Which direction did she walk in?
Didn't see her leave?
OK.
Yeah, this is Bravo. I'm out here with Robert now.
He's confirmed that Holly was here.
She left at 10 o'clock. (BLEEP!)
Very excited to be on the riverfront.
It's good. I love this walk.
I do it all the time.
VOICEOVER: With the extraction scheduled for 2:30pm,
Holly is taking her time to approach the MCG on foot,
with a 10km route that avoids major roads.
Definitely a home advantage.
Know all the back ways, the back trails.
Game on, hunters!
With just three hours until extraction,
the near miss at Rob's house
is forcing the hunters to change tactics.
At this point, all we've got is pins in a map.
We know where people were - we don't know where they are now.
We're wasting too much time, we're chasing ghosts
and we're getting nowhere, so we need to change our strategy.
Let's focus - let's focus our energy, people,
on finding locations.
Let's do this. You've got it.
If we can work out where the extraction is,
we could tactically place ourselves
and deny anyone access to that prize money.
Where do you think extraction is?
Ascot Vale is, like, quite central.
Also, Flemington Racecourse is right there.
Helicopter in Flemington. Yeah.
So, extraction could be Flemington Racecourse.
Could be, chief.
Can you start going towards Flemington Racecourse, please?
Flemington Racecourse. 2 minutes out.
Well, everyone in Australia knows Flemington Racecourse.
What's the other location everyone in Australia knows?
St Kilda Beach? The MCG.
See, this is why I'm going back to major locations.
Yeah.
So, do we have a look at Marvel Stadium?
Do we have a look at... MCG?
The MCG. Do we look at the Royal Park?
Those iconic locations?
VOICEOVER: Following their instincts...
Delta, this is Ops. Prepare to come up on Facetime deployment orders.
..HQ are deploying the ground hunters
towards Melbourne's most prominent landmarks.
We are...15 from that location.
Can I get you guys to start moving down to the MCG? Over.
Yeah, roger that.
Meanwhile, Tharren and Jordan
are leaving their borrowed car at friend Ben's house
to avoid being tracked...
Alright. Let's go. Let's go.
..and are now on foot.
Good spot to start with.
But with 37km still between them and the MCG,
they're hoping their strategy of relying on strangers
will pay off one more time.
Do you want to ask? There's a couple of people there.
Oh, I could if you want? Let's do it.
Hey, gentlemen. Hey, guys.
Sorry to interrupt your conversation.
Hey, we're two fugitives on the run.
We're needing a little bit of help.
We've gotta get to MCG today.
We've got 180 bucks. We'll give it to you.
Mate, this is the...this is literally the end.
I can take you if you want. That would be incredible.
Yeah. I'll take you if you want. Yeah?
Yeah. And you're gonna give me 180 bucks?
I'm gonna give you 180 bucks. Done.
Let's go. Let's go! Alright.
Help from strangers - it feels incredible.
We put ourselves out there and people are willing to help.
VOICEOVER: The media campaign
to draw attention to Tharren and Jordan's whereabouts
has so far failed to generate any intel from the public...
I'm a bit sick of how long it's taken
to get onto the back of Tharren and Jordan.
Time is against us.
..so the chief is about to employ a new tactic
to dial up the pressure.
We might need to do a pull-over somewhere that's, kind of, down low.
We don't want to get there too soon.
Through the city.
Home straight, mate.
MAN: (ON RADIO) Thank you for joining us here at KISS 1011.
I've got Dr David Craig on the line.
I understand there's a very important message
you'd like to get out today.
Yeah, absolutely, Byron.
We're looking for two gentlemen -
it's a father-and-son team.
Oh!
How can we help you out here, Dr Craig?
Oh, no!
We last saw these two fugitives on the corner of Old Calder Highway
and Kennedy Street
and we would dearly like to locate them.
If they give us information
that leads to the capture of the fugitives,
there's a large cash prize.
Oh! Yeah, now you've got my attention!
It's about to get busy.
DAVID: If anyone has seen Tharren and Jordan,
the phone number to ring is 0458...
VOICEOVER: With their description now out on public radio,
Tharren and Jordan are relying on Adam to get them to the MCG
without being spotted.
We're coming up on the G pretty soon, mate.
Yeah, we are. Or, in the vicinity, I should say.
OK. Which way do you want me to play it?
And it's 1:50.
We need to waste 20 minutes.
VOICEOVER: Extraction is scheduled for 2:30pm,
with an extraction vehicle arriving at 2:20pm,
giving the fugitives a 10-minute window to time their approach.
Just stretching.
Jimi is holding off as long as possible
before making his 1km dash to the finish line.
Imagine if I'm running across the field at the MCG
and they pop up at me.
Go too early and he could be vulnerable to hunters.
Wait too long and he could miss the extraction.
Under any circumstance, I do not want to go early.
Come on, Eddie. You can do it.
Whew! This is it.
The walk is not far from here, so...
I could definitely do what I do best - find a hiding spot.
Hide away.
But it's...yeah, really not far.
I'm gonna make the move now.
Meanwhile,
all five ground-hunter teams are en route
to major landmarks across Melbourne,
still with no idea of the exact extraction location.
Ops, this is Delta.
We're coming along the freeway.
We've just spotted a helicopter heading towards the city.
Alright. Roger that.
Chief, I've got a helo coming from the south.
I'm on the flight tracker.
It's tracking away now.
We need to identify that aircraft and we've gotta do it right now.
OTHERS: Yes, chief.
VOICEOVER: With flight radar identifying the helicopter
tracking from Moorabbin Airport in the south,
directly toward the city,
the hunters make contact with the private operator
to determine the aircraft's destination.
Chief, we have confirmation that chopper is landing at the MCG.
MCG. Simpf called it.
The sighting of the helicopter,
along with flight analysis,
has reinforced the hunters' suspicions
that the extraction point will be a major landmark.
Aircraft towards MCG.
DAVID: Closest ground units to that, Reece, we need to deploy ASAP.
All call signs, all call signs.
We have just received information
that the extraction location may be the MCG.
Vector on that location now.
Bravo, good copy. Moving now.
It's directly in front of us. Yeah, Charlie, good copy.
We are 3 minutes out.
OK. Let's focus right now on the MCG.
Everything we know about that location,
every way to get into it,
every way to get out of it.
How can we detect them early and take them out?
Our focus is not the incoming helicopter -
our focus is people trying to make it to that helicopter.
There's a black car coming down here.
Two black cars,
which makes me nervous.
Echo, 15 minutes ETA.
VOICEOVER: With all ground-hunter units now converging on the MCG
and team Charlie arriving...
We need to...we need to find somewhere to stop.
I reckon right there. Let's just call it.
..the net is closing in on the fugitives.
This is it. This is the spot.
Oh, this is the spot? Yeah.
We want to be rolling in right on 2:20.
Oh, here we go. Here we go.
HOLLY: I really don't know if I've made the right decision so far.
I was out in the open quite a lot.
I got myself onto a lot of CCTV footage.
I wish that I could have waited longer and got in a taxi.
I'm waiting now for the lights to change.
I'm ready to go. I'm ready to win this.
Ben, I'm just walking to the MCG now. Let's go!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Let's go, team.
Yeah, roger, that's a good copy.
I've got a helo coming in above me now.
VOICEOVER: With the 10-minute countdown to extraction
beginning once the chopper lands,
Team Charlie are already in position,
patrolling from the southern perimeter of the MCG.
Holly is hiding in the bushes to the north,
while both Jimi and Tharren and Jordan
are making their approach
from the east.
Looking good, Dad. Yep. Looking good.
They look like they're vectoring towards the centre of the MCG.
Roger, team.
Uh, helo going into a loiter pattern at the moment. Over.
Have you got eyes on anyone? Over.
That's a negative.
Jimi is closest to the stadium,
being careful to time his approach.
I need to walk. I can't get in a running race too early.
I see potential hunters!
Jimi has spotted the hunters on patrol...
Oh, there's the other team going in, so we need to...
Go, guys. Thanks, mate.
..but Tharren and Jordan mistake them for fugitives...
Go, go, go, go!
..and begin their final approach to the MCG
before the extraction helicopter has landed.
This is so nuts!
I've got two fugitives there.
They're there early. They're there early.
Go, Dad! Go, Dad!
Watch every adrenaline-pumping moment
of the thrilling second series of Hunted Australia
with full episodes on 10Play.
At Melbourne's MCG, once the helicopter touches down at 2:20pm,
the 10-minute countdown to the 2:30pm extraction begins.
Have you got eyes on anyone? Over.
That's a negative.
Mistaking ground-hunter team Charlie for other fugitives...
Oh, there's the other team going, so we need to...
Go, guys.
..Tharren and Jordan are on approach ahead of schedule,
with Jimi in the box seat to the action.
I've got two fugitives there.
They're there early. They're there early.
Go, Dad! Go, Dad!
Tharren and Jordan are approaching!
Come on, Charlie. (HUNTERS SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT)
Behind you, Howie - they're coming up behind you!
Come on! Come on!
There's a hunter ahead. I've got eyes on Tharren and Jordan.
Go, go, go!
Run, run, run, run, run!
Go! Go, Dad! Go, Dad!
Tharren and Jordan have split. I'm on Tharren.
Come on, Howie. Go on, mate.
Let's go, Howie! Let's go!
Come on! Yes! Yes!
Tharren, you've been hunted down. Your time on the run is over.
(ALL CHEER)
It's not over yet, team. It's not over!
Tharren is down.
Good job, Charlie. It's not over.
Confirmed eyes on Jordan? Over.
Howie, if you come back around here, I've got eyes on.
Let's box Jordan in. Yeah, roger that.
Confirm eyes on Jordan.
Dad's gone. (SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
Take up a covert position if you can.
Get out of sight. Let 'em come to you.
I'm on Jordan. Whoo-hoo!
(HUNTERS SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT)
Give it up, mate.
It's all over.
Go, Howie! Come on, mate!
Give up!
Gotcha.
(ALL CHEER)
Well done!
Yes!
Your time on the run is over.
Well done, Howie. Come on.
Two left.
Howie, move on. Move on. Move on.
Go, go, go. Good copy.
No sight of Holly or Jimi yet.
VOICEOVER: With Team Charlie occupied by the capture...
Can you see any of them on the left-hand side?
Have they run up through that park?
..and with Bravo moments away...
30 seconds. 30 seconds.
..and other ground hunters converging...
We're close.
It's all right there. I can do this.
..Holly and Jimi finally make a run for it.
HOLLY:
Let's go!
OK. I'm going. I'm going.
HQ, Bravo. That's us pulling up now. Now, now, now!
Come on. Come on, team.
Whoo-hoo!
Oh! Oh! Ah!
(SOBS)
I'm inside the stadium.
There's one helo on the ground in the middle of the stadium.
Roger. Let's get to the ground. Let's get to the ground.
BEN: Howie is inside the stadium.
Howie is inside. Eyes down outside, Kimmy.
KIMMY: Wait! I see Holly!
Charlie, go, go!
I'm chasing Holly now!
I've got eyes on Holly. Positive ID of Holly.
Let's go, let's go! Come on!
Run! Let's go, let's go!
She's at the fence!
How do I get in there? How do I get in?
Help!
I've got eyes on Holly. Positive ID of Holly.
Let's go, let's go! Come on!
KIMMY: She's at the fence!
HOLLY: How do I get in there?
Come on, Kimmy! Go, Kim!
How do I get in?
Help!
I'm almost there!
I'm almost on her. Go, go, go!
Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
Oh, my god! Oh, my god! I did it!
We did it! Oh, my god, oh, my god!
Oh, my god!
Oh! Oh, my god, we won! We won, we won!
(BOTH SOB) Oh, my god!
HOWIE: Jimi and Holly both on the helo.
She's made it to the extraction point.
Roger that.
I confirm Jimi and Holly have made it to the extraction point.
Oh!
Charlie, good chase. Well done.
All call signs, well done.
Well done, team.
Brilliant. Well done.
Well done, mate.
Nice going, guys. Yeah.
DAVID: I feel conflicted, because two fugitives got away
but we intercepted two on the way to the chopper,
so it's a pretty good bloody result.
Close but not bloody close enough.
The team has done so well, both in the field and here.
We've worked tirelessly and seamlessly
and I would defy anyone to have done a better job than my hunters.
Chief. Thanks, mate.
Not a bad result. Statistically excellent.
We had two fugitives get away
but if you look at this from a statistical point of view,
we have done a monumental task.
In 21 days, we've caught 18 fugitives.
We're thrown together and asked to do something
which is nigh on impossible
to most law-enforcement or intelligence agencies,
in the window of time.
Cheers, guys.
We are so proud of one another, in this room and out on the ground.
Someone did it.
That's awesome.
That's OK.
Wasn't meant to be.
We should have walked down.
Shoot.
We panicked.
Dad, you are incredible. Never change.
I feel like you've learnt a lot,
I feel like I've learnt a lot about you
and those things are incredible.
I'll never forget them.
Oh, my god! Wow!
Oh!
No way.
Never, ever, ever imagined that would happen.
I always thought it was going to be Josh carrying the team.
I'm leaning.
I never had that belief in myself.
I don't want you to go! It's OK, buddy. You'll be fine.
I realise that he actually sacrificed himself for me.
But it's so good to be the one lifted out of extraction.
The last female standing.
Just be able to show myself and to be able to show others -
I feel like I've well and truly proved that I'm worthy.
Oh! (LAUGHS)
I wouldn't change anything about my time on the run.
Stop! You have to stop now!
I learnt that I am more resilient than I ever thought.
No matter how difficult it was, no matter how challenging it was,
I knew that if I could last 24 hours at a time,
I could do this.
Oh, the thrill! It feels good.
But I never could have done these 21 days without Ed.
I'm a hunter! We're going! (LAUGHS)
And with this money,
he'll finally be able to live his dream...
of getting a hair transplant in Turkey.
He's gonna kill me for saying that!
But it's just so true.
And so good.
