(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Passes in the box.
Move on.
MAN: My main motivation for going on the run
is I've become so normalised to the fact
that the government and even private companies know everything about me
and now's a chance to actually go, "Wow...
"..can I change that, even if it's just for 21 days?"
WOMAN: Like any couple, like any relationship,
we've gone through a lot of challenges
and it's in those instances where our true colours really show.
People definitely underestimate us, but we've learned together as a team
we're pretty unstoppable.
MAN: I work in the IT sphere
and the strategy is to use that knowledge for evil.
I think I know enough to be able to cause the cyber team a headache.
The more chaos, the better.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Ladies and gentlemen, your attention, please.
ALL: Yes, Chief.
20 fugitives are on the run.
They are travelling in a motor vessel towards the Melbourne area.
Leah, I wanna know what that vessel looks like and where it could dock.
Yes, Chief.
NARRATOR: HQ is ground zero for the Hunters...
Up here. North Wharf should come up...
..an elite team of investigators
with military, police and cybersecurity backgrounds.
I need to know what options they've got so we can start to net the area
with CCTV cameras. Yes, Chief.
Back at the helm is the chief,
former detective superintendent David Craig,
renowned for leading the investigation
in the Bali two bombings.
Last time, two Fugitives got away and that is completely unacceptable.
But this year, we'll be putting a stop to that.
We've got more technology.
We've got improved field skills.
I'm an obsessive, driven leader, and I will not rest
until we have every Fugitive in the bag.
Chief, Harbour Control have just picked up a Lobo supply vessel
travelling from Hobsons Bay towards the Port of Melbourne.
Got that. Let's get onto them straightaway.
Reece, get the chopper airborne ASAP.
Yeah, roger, Chief.
Jase, Jase, this is Hunter Ops. Hunter Ops, radio check, over.
HQ, HQ, this is Ibis and we are currently airborne.
Chief, we've got a live vision of the chopper coming up now.
OK. Hunters, eyes to the big screen.
Here it is. This is it. This is it right now.
HQ, HQ, this is Ibis.
It's currently travelling in towards the Port of Melbourne.
OK, I want to know the registration details of that vessel.
Copy, Chief.
The challenge for the Chief and his team has never been greater,
with more Fugitives than ever trying to evade capture
and win a share of $100,000.
Ben, Fugitive details are in here.
Can you take us through them, please?
Yes, Chief.
OK, everybody, can I have your attention, please, at the back.
Let's see what we're up against here and go through the Fugitive teams.
The only information provided to HQ
is the names, ages and hometowns of the Fugitive pairs.
And neither Hunters nor Fugitives know where they will be released.
First up, everybody, we've got a Glenn Azar.
Glenn is 50 years old from Newstead in Queensland.
Glenn is on the run with a Taylah Robertson.
She's 24 years old from Hamilton.
Same area. Difference in age.
What is their motivation?
GLENN: Reason to do something like this...
..I think the challenge.
I'm a former soldier so if I was to describe my strengths,
I'd say I'm pretty calm under pressure.
He's the calm and I'm the chaos.
I'm a professional boxer, trained by Glenn.
This is my coach.
There's no second place in what we do.
There's a prize and we're prize-fighters.
I get in the ring and I have someone trying to take my head off.
So, yeah, we're definitely not scared of the Hunters.
Next up, guys, we've got Bayan Massoudi from Western Australia.
On the run with Eesha Patel.
Let's find out what we're up against.
BAYAN: Studied every single tool
that all of the Hunters have available to them to use.
I've documented all of those,
and I've prepared countermeasures
against every single one of those tools.
EESHA: I've been training pretty hard and making changes to my diet,
changing my sleep cycles.
Our levels of preparation are off the charts.
HQ, HQ, two females, blonde hair,
white singlets, black pants in the rear of that boat.
Megan Colwell from Castle Hill in Queensland.
Gracie Dale, also Queensland.
Is this mum and daughter?
We've got the differences in ages.
Let's find out who these people are.
Sonja Toth.
41 years old, from Robina in Queensland
with Elerrina McPherson.
Also Queensland.
Why are they on the run? How do they know each other?
Son and I met at a watermelon-eating competition.
SONJA: We might be the underdogs. We can be a bit girlie-girlie.
But we've got street smarts. We've got our networking smarts.
We've got our... (POSH ACCENT) ..smarty pants on.
We need phones on monitoring, we need bank accounts.
But if we do get caught, it is always been on my bucket list
to spend a night in jail.
The Fugitives this time around may have done their homework,
but they cannot forget that this is our job as well.
All bank accounts or financial transactions,
let's monitor as much as we possibly can.
I served as a sniper in the second Gulf War
but my major career highlight was
I helped thwart one of the major terror attacks
that the world has ever seen.
Can we get this mapping up on that back screen?
My message to the Fugitives
simply is don't rest,
because at any point, my capture plans can be activated.
And frankly, they don't want that to happen.
Let's go. Let's amp it up!
PILOT: The boat is still currently heading in towards the port.
Along the Yarra.
Yep. Chief, put my house on it, they're going to Docklands.
We've gotta set up there. OK.
We can get ground crews there, set up around Docklands.
Get a net over them. Let's put 'em to ground.
All call signs, all call signs,
this is Hunter Ops.
I need you to move to Docklands area now.
Let me know when wheels are turning.
NARRATOR: Strategically placed around the outskirts of Melbourne...
Let's go. Yeah!
..is a team of expert ground hunters.
We need to go, like, now. We need to go now.
Each now in a race against time to get to the Docklands area.
Go, go, go, go.
They are led by Reece Dewar, who has coordinated ground teams
for the Australian Defence Force in Afghanistan and Iraq.
REECE: Our ground hunters are relentless.
I have a wealth of experience
and they are bringing all that experience to our Hunter team.
None of them have phones at this point,
so navigation at this point is gonna be limited for them.
The majority are former special operations,
law enforcement, defence personnel.
Let's wipe one out today.
The Hunters are coming.
They will come without warning.
And we will strike swiftly.
Here they go, team.
The boat is docking on the right side.
WOMAN: To be a fugitive right now must be quite harrowing.
But when paranoia sets in
alongside high levels of anxiety, stress...
..we can exploit that.
Coming in hot.
I think the Fugitives should be worried.
As a Hunter team, we feel bigger and badder than we ever have.
Let's go, team. (ALL SHOUT)
This is critical. Make every observation you can.
And we will get them.
They are hard up against the wharf now. Standing by.
We have movement on the deck.
MAN: Go, go, go. Go, go, go.
Fugitives are on the run! MAN 2: Let's go!
They are off! They are off! WOMAN: Which way are they going?
Let's go! Let's go!
You can't escape. Coming in hot.
Go, guys, stay on one. I've got one with pink hair.
How you doing? Holy shit.
I just pulled my butt muscle.
They are splitting up everywhere!
We have a group going through the shipping containers.
There's runners along the dock!
There's two people running.
We will get them. We will get them.
NARRATOR: For the next 21 days,
the Fugitives must stay on the move...
Doing upset? My legs are really sore.
She's already limping.
..changing location at least every 48 hours.
Team, they all have to go east. There's no other way they can go.
During their three weeks on the run,
they must seek help from friends and family.
You good? Little bit winded.
And are provided just $300 a pair to survive.
Chopper's on top of us. Undercover. Undercover.
Filming their every move is one single covert camera operator.
Just walk.
Stand-by, mate, I've got a female, pink backpack.
Appears to be running out of puff.
MAN: Come on!
She's following the guy that's bald.
She's struggling to keep up. I reckon it's Byron and Tanase.
Byron is 37. She is 35.
Tanase!
What is their relationship?
Don't know where she's gone.
Are these partners? Are they married?
Are they related in some way?
I'm Byron.
Hey!
This is my sister, Tanase.
Chopper's above us.
Hey!
So Byron and I have always been super close,
but in a lot of ways, we're very different.
Yeah.
The chopper is, like, right above us.
Come on.
In the last several years, there's been a few bumps in the road.
We had a few clashes and we did drift.
You're doing well.
Going on the run together is really being about coming back together
and just repairing that relationship.
And we've come to win.
You tell 'em, sister! (LAUGHS)
Yeah. That's it!
Go into there. Yeah, yeah.
Quick, quick, quick. Quick.
Joe, they've gone under the trees
at the intersection of Navigation Drive.
They might be changing dress description
so watch out for that, guys, under the canopy.
Yeah. So if we can get out before it circles back...
It's, like, right about here.
Delta. Delta, this is Hunter Ops.
Ops, this is Delta.
I need you to move to the tree line area
on Navigation Drive now.
(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRR) Oh, my God.
So, Tanase and I grew up in a single-parent household,
working-class family, and we were the only biracial kids.
Haven't got hair to tie.
It's Byron and I really resilient, but in very different ways.
I have not had hair for 15 years.
Tanase is very outgoing and spontaneous.
Whereas Byron is, like, a bit more strategic.
We just missed this tram.
Walk a bit faster. We might be able to get it, Byron!
We'll have a plan and an idea and then we'll fight.
Yeah.
The helicopter's right there, Byron, seriously, it's hovering!
Down there, down there. See at the intersection.
Just there. Quick, quick, quick.
Yeah, Reece, I have a male and female.
The female has a khaki shirt.
We're just gonna get this. I don't care.
If you're happy with it. Yeah, fine, fine, fine, fine.
Reece, we've got a tram, mate, on Collins Street.
Yes, they have hopped on that.
Lovely. Lovely, jubbly.
Roger that. Good, copy. On the tram.
Stay on that tram, over.
That's a 6012 tram.
Direction?
Towards the city. OK, need to know where that tram terminates.
The tram does go past Southern Cross Station.
They can go anywhere.
They've got tram, train, everything from that location.
Delta, this is Ops.
I need you to move to Southern Cross Station,
in vicinity Southern Cross Station.
We are one minute out. One minute out.
NARRATOR: The Fugitives are now 20 minutes into the hunt.
Alright, Rabs, is our lucky day.
And with the Hunters swarming Docklands and surrounds...
TANASE: Watch for cars.
You ready? Yeah.
Hold on. (BOTH LAUGH)
..most are already well on their way out of the city.
Catherine is on the run with Kelly Nash from Brighton, East Victoria.
Just gonna do fast walking, Kel.
Cath and Kel, 54 and 59 years old,
what have they got to lose?
What have they got to gain from this experience?
Our biggest weakness probably be your bladder.
So I'll tell ya, if they're looking for us,
we'll be near a toilet at some point.
Right?
MAN: Gotta time is right or it could get embarrassing.
Tharren is on the run with Jordan Hutchinson.
Sorry, everyone.
This could be father and son on the run.
Just slowly, slowly. Sorry, Dad.
They know what we look like. So now let's switch it up.
Holly Colvin is on the run with Joshua Pineda.
If you're wearing a high-viz uniform
and you've got a clipboard or a ladder or something...
..you can get in anywhere. Oh, you can get in anywhere!
NARRATOR: But one team has made no effort to leave the area in a hurry.
Are you ready? Ready? OK. Ready, go.
Go.
Here we go.
Tracking a male. Bald head. Solid build.
The female has a black singlet and shorts on.
That looks like Glenn and Taylah.
BEN: Yeah, Glenn. I think that one is.
Chief, he's 50 years old with Taylah...
GLENN: Just walk, walk, walk.
..who is 24, both from Queensland.
That's going to put them at a disadvantage.
TAYLAH: Do you know where we are? No, not yet.
Yeah, going on the run into a new location,
could be a lot harder for us...
Collins Street. Right, let's go.
..but we're gonna stay ahead of the game
by doing unexpected things like hiding in plain sight.
Yep. Here.
I spent a lot of years in helicopters in the army,
and I just know that when you see a big group together,
it's gonna be natural for the chopper to want to follow that group.
So we think if we sit right under their noses,
they'll eventually give up.
It's just about trying to keep ourselves off the radar.
PILOT: They've gone in under the buildings, mate.
Under the buildings.
Because once the Hunters work out who we are,
and particularly they know my military experience,
I expect that we're gonna go to the top of their list.
Way under here, they can't see you.
Oh, you're joking. What do you got?
No way.
Oh, my God.
Who is it?
This guy here, Glenn. Yep.
He's an ex-military guy that I met.
He's a boxing trainer. Runs a gym out of Brisbane. Yep.
I did the Kokoda Track with him years ago.
He runs an adventure company.
Right, just walk out here.
We're used to going into pretty intense situations.
Got the heart rate up again.
In fact, I think I thrive in pressure environments.
I can hear the chopper. Let's just stop under here again.
Hey, HQ, HQ, Ibis, I have lost visual at this stage.
(SIGHS)
Hey, Ben, just letting you know CCTV footage has just come in.
We're just gonna throw it on the big screen for you. Cheers, Bree.
Oh, here we go. Nice one, Bree.
Collins Street.
Down the wharf.
Who are these two?
DAVID: That's Glenn and Taylah on Bourke Street.
We wanna get off this road as quick as we can.
Yeah, get off, yeah.
We could be on them within minutes. Absolutely. Yep, yep.
Ground hunters aren't too far from there either.
All call signs, all call signs. This is Op.
We've just identified Fugitives Glenn and Taylah
still hanging around on Bourke Street.
I need you to get there now.
Look, I personally know Fugitive Glenn Azar,
so he's now become public enemy number one.
(GASPS) Ooh.
That's a job for Team Bravo.
Yeah, Reece, Ibis, we'll head to the same location.
Roger. Let's go, team.
GLENN: Down here. Down here. Down here. Let's get changed.
Right. Will do.
Clearly, I've gotta disguise myself.
(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRR)
I think they can see us.
Nah, they won't be able to see us from a chopper.
I don't want to be embarrassed in the sense of getting caught
in the first 24 hours.
As soon as we get changed, we're gonna walk out of here real calm.
BRAVO: Righto, so we're turning Bourke Street now.
Yeah, Bravo, this is Ibis, we are locked onto your position.
We are tracking along Bourke Street now.
REECE: Here we go. Here we go.
C'mon. Let's go, boys.
Eyes peeled. Eyes peeled. Yeah, let's have a look, mate.
Go, go, go. Let's go, Bravo!
TAYLAH: My bag broke. Shit. Which one?
That.
DELTA: We're scouring these streets.
Let's go. We're on, mate. Keep your eyes peeled.
Alright. Let's walk.
Think the main road's the go? Yeah, just for now.
And then we'll cross over.
There's a... There's a Hunter team.
Is out hunting team there? There's a Hunter team there.
Here, kitty, kitty.
Two guys dressed in black. Right there. Hunter team.
Right there? Oh, my God.
Day one. Let's go.
They're stopping! They're stopping!
Here, kitty, kitty.
Eyes peeled, eyes peeled. Yeah, let's have a look, mate.
There's a hunter team. Is that a hunting team there?
There's a hunter team there. Two guys dressed in black.
Day one. Let's go. Go, go, go.
Yeah, let's go, Bravo.
They're stopping, they're stopping. Let's go. Cross over.
Just walk, walk, walk.
This place, eh? Yeah.
That's some interesting-looking people just there.
They've gone through, the hunter team's gone through.
They're close, eh?
When I was in the military, they used to say that no battle plan
lasts any further than the contact with the enemy.
There's a taxi. There's a taxi.
And that's what they say in boxing -
"Everyone's got a plan till they get punched in the face.
"It goes out the window."
Mate, just, uh...I'm not sure where we're going to go.
$50 to go anywhere out of the city.
We've got a plan and we want to try to stick to that,
but we're very adaptable to change.
HQ, Bravo. Over.
Hey, Bravo. How are we, boys?
Yeah, Bravo. We've cleared Bourke Street.
I haven't been lucky enough to pick up any fugitives just yet.
Yeah. Roger that, boys.
Hey, listen, you know, at the moment,
the trails have gone pretty quiet and cold.
Well, the first 24 hours on any hunt is very crucial, OK?
The ground hunters want to get results straightaway.
I just want us to stumble across one.
I just want one to walk right in front of our car.
We've got 20 fugitives, five ground hunter teams.
Do the math on that - it's a hard day.
We need - if you look at 20 fugitives, 21 days -
we need a capture a day.
A day, at least. It's, like, unprecedented.
Yeah.
A task force this size normally is looking for one, at most two,
and we have 20.
20 fugitives is a hell of a lot of work.
So we need to think about this tactically.
It feels a little bit like we're walking
chest-deep in honey right now.
We've got high-tech, highly qualified, highly trained people,
but we still need to focus in.
It's important that we get in front of these fugitives
as soon as possible so we can take them out.
OK, ladies and gentlemen, can we gather round the centre console
for the full muster, please?
ALL: Yes, Chief.
This is a target-rich environment.
We've got plenty of people to pick from.
We'll stay on the hot leads, OK?
Alright, Byron and Tanase.
They hopped on the tram that we followed.
Is there anything else?
Byron and Tanase are from Adelaide.
We did get a direction of travel not far from where they left the vessel.
They got on a tram to the west.
It headed east to the Southern Cross station.
We don't know if they got off or stayed on.
Ready for work.
In the tram, the cameras weren't working, so we're unsighted to that.
Oh, my God.
OK, Cathy and Kelly.
Has anyone dug anything up on these two at all?
Chief, Cathy and Kelly are both from Victoria.
They're gonna have a vast network.
Yep. WOMAN: They are performers.
It's very shiny.
Dude, I use the best products on my hair.
They're used to being in front of people and are very likeable.
Hi. I'm Mary.
And I'm Mary. I'm Mare.
And we're the Travelling Marys.
The Travelling Marys from Faraday.
Right, Ben and Callum. What have we got? What's the latest?
Ben and Callum, 26, 27 respectively,
both from Victoria, which is interesting.
Do these guys live together? Yes.
What we know about Ben and Callum is that
they play video games and they're just very close friends.
We've requested the devices, and no doubt that'll give us
some information about
how they've sort of planned their time on the run.
Alright,
we're day one and I already, like, distrust
the glances of the public.
Yeah, look, I think we definitely describe ourselves as nerdy gamers.
Now we REALLY look like tourists.
Yeah, that's the point. Where are you taking me?
Introverts in most circumstances.
Once we've sort of, you know, gotten to know you,
then it's a bit more wild.
Different hat time? Different hat time.
How do I look, Callum? Like a hooligan?
Lovely. Backwards is the way?
Backwards is the way. Excellent.
MAN: Oh, Benny, Ben, Ben.
I see you're also a ThinkPad enjoyer.
NARRATOR: With Hunted rules dictating
all fugitives hand over their devices
for the duration of the hunt,
Team Cyber has begun investigating
those belonging to any fugitives of interest.
Yeah, mate, mate, mate, mate.
But Ben and Callum's have not been as easy as most.
He's cleared his... he's wiped his computer as well.
WOMAN: Who did? MAN: He's wiped it?
Ben Page.
Of course he has. Lovely.
I think what we do is when we get to Andy's,
we check to see if the hunters have fallen for the bait.
NARRATOR: Ben and Callum have done more than just wipe their devices.
I don't even know if it's going to lead to them making a mistake,
but it sure is going to make ME happy.
Yeah.
So, my laptop that I handed in is a little bit of a Trojan horse,
in the sense that there's some fun little bits of code
that's going to execute when the hunters do certain actions.
I'm going to get into the BIOS and see what he's done.
BEN: I set up a few things,
but almost all of them simply post a message to Twitter.
So I'll be able to know
once the hunters have fallen for any of my traps.
That's kind of weird.
Uh...
..looks like Ben built a little script to post some stuff to Twitter
when we interact with his laptop.
That's cute. What does it say?
It's just posting "Oi, stop opening me files," when we open the thing.
(SNIGGERS)
It's kind of cute, yeah?
NARRATOR: Six hours after being released,
Ben and Callum have now travelled 12 kilometres east of the city
to Mont Albert.
Do we feel lucky? Yes, we feel lucky.
There's a light on.
Oh, we feel so lucky.
NARRATOR: Arriving unannounced at Ben's brother
and fellow gamer Andy's house.
Andy. We made it!
How's it going?
NARRATOR: Andy and wife Meghan have agreed
to put the boys up for the night...
Do you have a device that I can check Twitter on.
..giving Ben his first chance to check the status of his booby traps.
What if we try looking at my... Yep, there you go.
Oh, they've tapped... (LAUGHS) Nice work.
I'm happy with that. That's awesome.
So, we did check Twitter.
We obviously saw the message sitting there
to indicate that the hunters had opened my files.
That's fun. I like that.
So we've already pissed them off. That's good, that's good.
Starting early - day one.
It is a bit scary in the sense that it's day one
and it's already happened.
I thought maybe we had a little bit of time, but, you know,
credit when credit's due - the hunters work quickly.
(LAUGHS)
So, let's see what else they do.
The fun part about that device is
it's not quite done with its functionality yet,
so there might be something more to come out of it.
(LAUGHTER)
I can't believe they're trying to (BLEEP) with us this bad.
This what? Callum and Ben.
So, you opened it to find it's malicious, was it?
NARRATOR: Back in HQ, another of Ben's traps has just been discovered
in Callum's email account.
They're trying to hack us.
A trap which has the power to do much more than send Twitter posts.
So, basically, in Callum's email
there was malware, but we didn't click it.
What's malware? So, like, a malicious file.
Going through Callum's emails, I found a malicious link.
Ben and Callum were hoping that we would actually click this link,
and from there they might be able to take control of our computer.
So, obviously he left his passwords that way so he's like,
"Oh, they can easily come in and then we'll infect them, ha-ha-ha."
I think that Ben is more tech savvy
than a lot of the fugitives we'll come up against,
but we've figured him out.
We've figured out the tricks he's playing,
so now we want to mess him up.
Oh!
I really wanna get this guy now. He's such, like, an egotistical prick.
I mean, who does he think he is?
It's definitely personal now.
(RINGING TONE)
Hello? Bravo. How are we, boys?
Good. Good, Reece.
Look, we're having a bit of a deep dive into Glenn.
Mate, what do you guys have on him.
NARRATOR: In HQ, the investigation into Queensland-based fugitives
Glenn and Taylah has got off to a head start.
You know, he's no stranger to doing it tough.
He does things like Everest Base Camp.
He's done Kokoda tracks.
As well as Team Bravo's personal insights,
HQ has been working hard to deliver a flood of early intel.
He runs the Building Better Humans Project.
That sounds a bit egotistical, but yeah.
Yeah, he's gonna be a challenge. A suitable adversary.
Yes, a suitable adversary.
We're talking about a pair that is out to challenge themselves
and challenge us.
Given their physical fitness, their strength of their mindset,
I certainly think Glenn and Taylah would rate their chances very highly
of performing well on the run.
Just park us up anywhere here's good.
However, they don't live in Victoria,
they are very far from home.
Thanks, mate.
And I'm really keen to get an insight
into their potential networks.
NARRATOR: With their taxi taking them 14 kilometres out of the city
into Melbourne's west...
It must be inside, I reckon.
..Glenn and Taylah are looking for a payphone to call a local contact,
Cherneka, who is also known as Neekz.
So, apparently it's in the food court.
So, Neekz is another boxer that I train.
She's a current world champion and she lives in Melbourne.
She comes up to train with me in Queensland,
but because she's down here, she's available hopefully
to come and pick us up.
Excuse me.
I was wondering if I could borrow your phone to call my friend.
(STAMMERS) We don't have any phones on us.
We're just trying to call a friend.
Can I call you back? Oh, sorry.
Sorry, I didn't know you were on the phone.
Do you have the number? Yeah.
Oh, thank you so much. Sure.
(RINGING TONE)
Hello? Hey, Neekz. It's Taylah and Glenn.
Hello. What's going on?
We were just wondering if you could pick us up.
From where? We're at Sunshine Shopping Centre.
Oh, yeah. Oh, that's just down the road.
Oh, hell yes.
How long do you reckon it will take?
Five minutes? Oh, amazing.
What we'll do, though, is I don't want to meet you near the shops
because there's CCTV.
We'll meet you right on the edge of the car park.
The car park. Yeah. Alright, then.
She was so easy.
Yeah. "Yep. Five minutes away."
MAN: Confirmed from Blue, ex-Special Forces.
He knows him. Knows him personally. Yeah.
See, he's in the Medical Corps,
and he's a physical training instructor.
There's a bit going on at the moment.
There's a lot of information coming in.
We've identified the fugitive Glenn and his military history.
We know he's got some skills. We know they're both determined.
We know that they're going to be difficult to catch.
Yeah, we're getting all the files in now.
So, Leah's slowly going through them.
But I am the lead investigator
and my approach is to be as meticulous as possible.
She's an actual pro boxer.
She's the number one super fly in Australia for women's boxing.
She fought in Marvel Stadium last year.
This is extremely personal to me.
I'm not dead yet. Yeah.
That's right. Like me, mate, I'm retired, I'm not dead.
So we're coming for you. (LAUGHS)
Two fugitives got away last time. That won't be happening again.
TAYLAH: We don't really need the Shuffle knives, do we?
No. I've got rid of one. I'll get rid of the other soon.
Alright.
Yeah, there's no CCTV through the car park.
That's what I thought.
I think the thing that will give us the best chance of success
as fugitives is the fact that we're collaborative
and that we respect each other.
She said five minutes, so...
The relationship between me and Glenn started as
coach and fighter,
and then over the years, it's become more like family.
Here she is. Haw-haw.
(LAUGHS)
We've definitely grown a bond, and I think in this kind of sport,
the bond grows a lot faster when you're faced
with such adversity all the time.
Hey. CHERNEKA: Hey.
Uh...anywhere that's five or 10 minutes away
that there's no surveillance, so we can make some phone calls.
I love having experiences with this kid.
I love being able to facilitate things for her.
I just see in her a young woman trying to achieve really good things
in a really tough sport and a tough world.
What's our next step?
So, next is to make some phone calls to try and find a vehicle.
It's good. There's no CCTV here.
(RINGING TONE)
Hello? Phil, it's Glenn.
How are you, mate? Yeah, good, buddy. Good.
Mate, Tay and I really need a vehicle.
I was hoping you might have one of your vans available.
Uh...yeah, yeah.
NARRATOR: Glenn is calling Phil, one of his clients
from the Victorian plumbing industry.
Well, do you know now what the address would be?
But the loan of Phil's van comes with a catch.
In order to get it, they must head right back where they started -
Melbourne's highly exposed city-centre danger zone.
The plan at the moment is to head back in towards the city area
and find the van.
And I know it will be super risky,
but, as I learnt today, plans have gotta be very fluid.
We've got to be very relaxed about the way we do things,
and I think that fluidity is
what's going to make us a little bit harder,
I hope, for the hunters to catch.
NARRATOR: In HQ, senior analyst Leah
is still focusing on Glenn's sporting network...
I'm just wondering if I can get a better photo.
..taking special interest in one of his high-profile clients,
Melbourne Storm rugby player Jayden Nikorima.
Oh, there we go. Oh, he's cute.
(LAUGHS)
MAN: Sorry, I thought you were talking to me.
Hey, Blue. Simpf, mate.
G'day, Chief. How are you, boys?
Glenn - does he have links to rugby league that you know of?
Because we've got a close associate of Jayden Nikorima,
who plays for the Melbourne Storm.
Yeah, that sounds right, yeah. That would be right?
Yeah, that's right. I believe they might have done
some collabs and working together, now that you mention it.
OK. Yeah, good intel. Alright.
So Jayden Nikorima. Nikorima.
Glenn is connected to Jayden by way of the business.
It's a close association.
He's been a mentor, it seems, to Jayden, so that is really tight.
And that's why we know he's going to use him at some point.
Jayden Nikorima and the Storm... Melbourne Storm guys
have been away on camp in Geelong just recently.
They've come back, so he should be back in Melbourne.
His phone number we've got confirmed as to him,
and is currently now on full intercept.
Perfect. So we're monitoring that.
By putting his phone on full intercept,
we're going to get all the live calls in and out,
we're going to get all the SMS messages in and out.
So, having that phone number intercepted so early in the run,
I really don't think they would believe
that we could get that so quickly.
So I think it's only a matter of time before we chase them down.
(RINGING TONE)
GLENN: Christa. TAYLAH: Christa.
Hey. Hey, it's Glenn and Tay. How are you?
NARRATOR: Unaware the hunters could have intercepted
their network so quickly...
Please leave... Dammit.
..Glenn and Taylah are still using Neekz's phone
to set up as many onward plans as possible.
Should we quickly call Jayden?
I don't know if he'll answer, but we'll try him.
Jay Nix. Hi. What's doing?
Hey, mate. Glenn and Tay. How are ya?
Good. We're calling off Neekz's phone.
Ben!
There's been a hit on Jayden's phone.
Ooh!
There's going to be some intel coming through now.
Yes! Pay attention, please.
GLENN: We're not going to come to you guys,
but we'll let you know when we're coming back your way.
Have you heard from them?
OK.
I'd expect them to come to you or Neekz
sometime in the next day or two.
Yeah. Alright, brother.
We'll talk to you soon, eh? See ya, Jayden.
Yeah.
I (BLEEP) knew it. Well done, Tim. Good.
GRAEME SIMPFENDORFER: Yeah, really exciting development.
We've just got an activation on Jayden Nikorima's mobile phone.
Whoo-hoo.
We've heard their plans,
we've listened to them say that they're heading to Bendigo.
The ground hunters have deployed immediately to that area
and we're trying to find out who's Phil,
'cause there's a mention of a van.
Have you come across the name of Phil Goodall
in relation to Glenn and Taylah?
There's a Phil working at O'Brien's Plumbing in Dandenong,
who last called on the 30th.
So it's probably this dude. Yeah.
And we've now found through cyber which Phil it is in relation to it.
Plumbing van. Plumbing van, yeah.
So a great bit of intelligence.
We just need to get ahead of that van and establish
exactly where he is and who he's going to go to next.
Lonsdale.
NARRATOR: Still en route to collect the van,
Glenn and Taylah are in fact
in the most dangerous place they could be - Melbourne's CBD,
a danger zone still teeming with ground hunters.
GLENN: I'm pretty nervous as we're approaching the van
because now we're back in the CBD.
We're in the hot zone.
Are they on to the van?
Have they been tracking anything we've done so far?
We're bound to run into one of these teams here, mate, eh?
There are some risks, definitely.
Worst-case scenario is we get there and they're standing there.
I know.
Obviously you can't avoid CCTV here,
but once that van's moving and they're not around, I feel OK.
So, keys are on a tyre. On a tyre.
Yep. This is the vehicle. Alright.
Stuff in the back, Tay.
I hate being in the city.
It makes you feel really exposed,
and you look everywhere and there's CCTV.
Right, let's go.
Ooh, can I go to the toilet first?
Is there a... Before we get on the road.
Yeah.
You're killing me.
NARRATOR: All over Victoria...
I was not expecting it to be this cold.
..fugitives are waking to their first morning on the run.
Can't get over that sleep. That was not a good sleep.
SONJA: El wanted air.
So, we left the windows and the door open and then it was freezing.
We both have a little sniffle now.
The bag is getting larger. It is getting larger.
Which is not a good thing. Not a good thing.
They're meant to be light.
Cheers to day two of the hunt.
And our personal message for the hunters
is are you going to catch us?
In your dreams, buddy.
In HQ, the passing of one full day without capture...
Alright. Can I have everyone's attention, please?
..has the chief seeing red.
We haven't got a payday.
We haven't had arrest.
We don't have any fugitives, and we've had no luck.
That is going to change. Let's get on it.
More determined than ever.
I want to see some fugitives sent out of this game
and sent home today.
Got it?
Yes, Chief. Go.
But the hunters are facing a difficult challenge.
The 10 fugitive pairs are already scattered far and wide
across the state.
From Sonja and Elerrina
in Drouin to the south-east
to Cath and Kel
in the south-westerly peninsula town of Portarlington.
As friends of over 30 years who grew up in Victoria,
Cath and Kel have a wide network
but have chosen to spend the night with family friend Leslie.
Oh, that's amazing.
You're so talented.
We work doing theatre performances in schools.
It's embarrassing. I shouldn't do it to the piano.
I'm sorry, piano.
And we met 30 years ago.
When I was seven.
It doesn't work, does it?
We've all got different gifts.
That is not yours. Thank you.
Or mine.
It's a really wacky idea to go on the run for 21 days
at this point in our lives.
But I'm a female of a certain age,
and I don't trust myself as much as I could.
Perhaps as you used to.
I could do with a self-confidence boost at this point in my life.
That's right.
I mean, we've got great jobs, we've got lovely families.
All of that's working really, really well.
So it's time to do something out of the ordinary, you know?
It could be pretty cool for people in their 50s to have a win.
Yeah. We might look old and sweaty under these lights,
and that's what menopause will do.
But don't underestimate us. We've got lots of tricks.
Tricks up our sleeves.
So, we've been taking photos, right, of ourselves
in Where's Wally? outfits. All around.
Right.
As a bit of a sneaky taunt to the hunters. Right?
So, it looks like we've taken the photo... On the day.
Even though we're nowhere near these places.
So, what we want to do is get her daughter Nell...
to post them... On our Facebook pages.
..on our Facebook pages. OK?
So, that's Nell's number there.
Hello? Nello, it's Mum.
How are you?
You know those photos that we took of the Where's Wally stuff?
Yep. Yep.
Can I get you to post them on Facebook?
Yeah, on Mum's Facebook.
And don't forget, you've got to tag 'Hunted Australia' as well.
OK.
I'll speak to you soon. We have to get off the phone.
I love you so much.
I love you, too. Bye!
I could have guessed this person's password.
Ooh. Oh, my God.
(BLEEP)
Ben.
There's been a taunt on Facebook.
Who for? Cath and Kel.
Cath and Kel have been off the radar.
Finally, some action.
Oh, my God. Where's Wally? What a pair of Wallys.
Yeah. At a beach.
That's consistent with Mornington Peninsula direction.
We obviously don't know when that was taken,
but did they post any message on it
or was it just the image they've uploaded?
Where are Cath and Kel? Where are Cath and Kel?
OK.
There's a taunt that's just been sent in from Cath and Kel.
To me, it's quite mediocre behaviour.
It's trying to poke the bear, so to speak.
They'll never be able to hunt you down. Bonkers.
It's not really poking anything. It's not antagonizing us.
If anything, it might give us more clues.
Are these all of their friends?
Yeah. Yeah. Right.
So, the great thing
is that now we've got all of their associates here.
Although they probably think it is getting under our skin,
it's actually incredibly helpful.
Could we not infiltrate the associates
through the Facebook page?
That would be a good idea.
As the cyber team dig into anyone who posted on the taunt...
..150 kilometres away, north-west of Melbourne,
ground hunter Team Alpha are in Bendigo...
We're on the hunt here.
..on the lookout for Glenn and Taylah.
They're in Bendigo somewhere.
I reckon we'll get them.
Although an intercepted call has revealed a contact,
Phil from O'Brien's Plumbing lent them his van,
it's not known exactly
where Glenn and Taylah were headed,
leaving HQ, scrambling to find
any contacts known to the fugitives in the area.
Jay, can you just chat with Simpf
about what you found on Glenn's phone?
So, yeah, we found a contact called 'Gary' in Glenn's address book.
All the chat history between them has been cleared,
but he works for O'Brien's as well.
But up in the Bendigo branch.
Bendigo? Yes.
Pretty sus looking, so...
Right. That's great get, mate. That's really good.
Particularly showing that location.
Can you update Reece with that please, mate? Cool.
How good are these O'Brien's blokes?
Glenn and Taylah have, in fact,
spent the night at Gary's home in Heathcote... (KNOCK AT DOOR)
just outside of Bendigo.
Hazza. How are you, mate? Still here.
Still here. Uncaptured.
We got to Gary's last night
and feeling actually really good.
We didn't even contact anyone in Bendigo.
We just turned up here on the hope that someone was going to be here.
And Gary was. How did you sleep, mate?
Yeah. Good. Good night's sleep.
You'd have been full of ideas all night.
Yeah, plenty of ideas.
Gary's a good mate of mine.
He's done trips with me to Kokoda and Aussie 10 Peaks.
We've done a heap of stuff together.
The van, you'll park it inside the garage.
So, then my idea is you then take the Chev,
and then tomorrow you'll go into the red convertible.
Yeah. Nice.
That's going to be impossible for them to trail, surely. Surely.
I feel safe here.
We've changed locations. We're going to change vehicles.
And if the hunters come,
I've got no doubt that Gary will not rat us out.
I think Gary will tell them to piss off.
Got our extra kit bags now.
Keen to stay ahead of the hunters...
Passing me my bag. Yeah.
..Glenn and Taylah have decided to abandon Phil's van
and spend the day looking for new hide-outs in the local area.
These guys have been great.
They're going to put that van inside their shed.
So even if a drone comes over or whatever,
it's not going to get seen.
Is this the truck? Yeah.
To help cover more ground they're borrowing Gary's blue Chevy.
It's not inconspicuous, but... (LAUGHTER)
..we'll have three vehicle changes in 24 hours
so that even if they get onto one vehicle,
we're onto the next vehicle, onto the next vehicle.
Once you get in front of the hunter, you've got to stay in front of them.
So we need a strategy of as many moving parts as possible
so that we don't get too comfortable in one position, one location,
one vehicle, one network.
So, that's the plan.
The massive question mark with Glenn and Taylah
is are they still using Phil's VW van?
Bendigo has popped up with Gary from what we know.
He's in the same business as Phil.
We're just doing some checks now - address, vehicles, phone.
The VW van that belongs to Phil? Yep.
If we can get that cited at Gary's address.
That's...that's an absolute given.
(PHONE RINGS) Morning, Alpha. How are we?
Very well, Reece.
A Team, what I need you to do is deploy up to a person of interest
at Gary's work residence.
We've got Echo on the home address.
The facility there. It is an industrial area,
but it is an O'Brien's Electrical.
If we can get that under surveillance, that would be great.
Over. Yeah. Good copy. Good copy, Reece.
O'Brien Electrical is an interesting one,
but we're looking for the VT transporter.
and we're looking for the fugitives.
So the pressure's on.
We've now got ground hunters headed that way
to put that business under surveillance.
GLENN: We can hit the lead early in the game.
But I'm really confident that this address in Bendigo
is going to play off
and the ground hunters are going to capture hopefully Glenn and Taylah.
Alpha. This is Ops. Over.
Confirm you are in location at work address.
Yeah. HQ, this is Alpha. That is correct.
There is a high possibility that fugitives are in the area.
Copy, Reece.
Just for your info.
The roller door on this business is still closed, so we can't see in.
We don't have eyes on that van at this stage.
Oddly, most other businesses here,
their roller doors are all open, but this one's still shut.
Yeah. Roger that. Keep eyes on.
Will do. See you, mate Good hunting.
While Team Alpha lies in wait for Glenn and Taylah
in HQ, another taunt from best friends Cath and Kel
has been received.
So, Kelly and Catherine have given us another little Where's Wally?.
Again? Yep.
(BLEEP) sake.
So, retaining the Where's Wally?.
The fugitive pair's first taunt has already given team cyber
leads on many of their online friends,
which Jay has been cross-referencing
with contacts in Cath and Kel's phones.
So, my role as part of the Hunted cyber team
is to go through the fugitives' devices
and online accounts and look for information
that they might not think exists anymore
that's going to help us find them when they're on the run.
Here's the shared friendship between Catherine and Georgina.
One of the pair's friends has already caught Jay's attention
thanks to a conspicuously absent chat history.
So, completely empty WhatsApp chat.
But, after a deep dive into the phone's internal files,
he's been able to restore the deleted messages.
That's real bad fail on her part.
Along with a wealth of detail about Georgina's planned role in the hunt.
Hey, guys, I think you should see this.
So, one of the most common mistakes we see with fugitives
when we examine their devices
is a lot of people are very prescient
about where they're going to delete content from,
but they neglect to also then delete the relevant backups of this content.
If we have access to backups,
we can just simply restore that and, hey presto, we got it back.
Ben, we have a close contact for Kelly and Catherine.
A Georgina. Goes by 'George'.
She's got residence in Prahran.
They've clearly laid out plans where she's intending to help them
in the first few days.
She's overly enthusiastic and couldn't keep anything secret.
They had to tell her multiple times
to stop making group chats and stuff.
I think she's the type of person
with just, like, a little bit of pushing, she will spill the beans.
OK.
The messages you've intercepted says
that Georgina is going to help in the first few days.
So, we don't know specifically what day or for how long? Unfortunately not.
But at any event, we can interrogate her and hopefully she will talk.
Thanks, mate.
Hello, baby dog.
Unaware Georgina is under investigation...
Thank you. We'll explain it all in a moment.
..Cath and Kell have just arrived at her home in Prahran.
Oh, thanks, George. This is fantastic. And a garden view.
There's something about this place that just feels very safe.
The high walls. On a main street.
Secret garden. They can't come over the fence.
No-one looking. You'd be doing well to get over that.
Yeah. Good luck. Yeah.
You feel so safe in here, don't you?
Hello. Hello, guys.
How are you? Excited.
So, I'm going to send you on the hunt for Catherine and Kelly,
our eldest pair of fugitives.
We have just gotten some really interesting information through.
We've identified a friend of both Catherine and Kelly,
an individual called Georgina, whose picture I'll forward to you shortly.
OK.
We know from Cyber she's going to be involved at some point.
What we'd really like is you guys to start heading
down towards that location, find Georgina and have a friendly chat.
Yep. Roger that. No worries. On our way.
Earlier on today, we had another taunt from Cath and Kel.
We've already got one.
This is now the second.
We understood that Cath and Kell
would probably want to play some sort of games
given their background in the acting industry.
But these are people that have had far too much fun.
And now we've just deployed Charlie to Georgina's house.
I hope it's successful. And I hope we're going to spoil their day.
You know, we're doing Where's Wally? stuff on our Facebook pages.
I worry that we're poking the bear way more than we should.
You worry that we're antagonizing them too much.
And then they're going, "We've had enough of these girls."
All I can say is learn to deal with your feelings, hunters.
(LAUGHS)
Should we go and have a look at the front exit
so that we know that we've got another exit?
I'll show you where the key is you would need if you had to escape.
Like, let's say the doorbell rang.
I could see from up here the hunters... Yes.
..you would go get the key
and you would be go that way, wouldn't you?
Charlie, this is Ops. Over.
Confirm you're one minute from that location. Over.
That is a good copy. One minute.
Alright. Thank you.
Feel so safe in here, don't you?
I'll just...just try it. Make sure it all works.
You might have to pull once you've turned it.
Just yank the lock the bit. Oh, yeah.
There you go. Nice move.
And there's trams right there.
We probably need to get a myki.
I can just go down and get you a myki, I suppose,
and you can hang the key back. Yeah.
That's it right there.
Team Charlie has arrived in Prahran to question Georgina.
Righto, Charlie. Let's get this.
Let's get up on Facetime.
Just as she's heading out to buy myki cards for the girls...
What's that vehicle? The one that's leaving now?
Hunters, stop that vehicle from leaving.
Roger that.
Go, go, go.
Who's in the car, Kim?
George is driving the vehicle. Roger that.
Georgina, could I talk to you a minute, please?
Just one moment.
She's refusing to wind down the window or communicate.
I am standing in front of her vehicle.
Yeah, roger that. Stand there.
I'm not letting her go anywhere.
Good on you, Kim.
She'll have to run me over.
I might because my dad's 94 and I need to go see him.
With Howie blocking one end of the laneway...
I'm not moving out of the way.
..and Kim, in a stand off...
Bravo. Roger that.
..the nearest ground hunters, Team Bravo, is sent to assist.
Kim, stay in your current location. Bravo's moving to you. Over.
Yeah. Roger that.
Let's just have a little chat, please,
because I'm not moving out of the way.
Yeah, she's refusing to get out of the car,
refusing to talk to anyone.
It's times like these that I want to break windows down.
You want to take this and I'll... Yep. Yep.
You had any luck?
Have you caught any of the fugitives yet?
Georgina, can I just get you to just park
just back behind this?
No. I really have to go. We can't.
We're not going to let you go
until we've chatted with you a little bit. OK?
There's people trying to get out now.
They're finishing their work day.
Do you mind if I jump in... I really mind.
You're definitely not getting in my car. Righto.
They're around. Yeah, definitely.
Hey, listen, team. I really want that vehicle in a safe location.
Tell her it'll only take us five or 10 minutes.
Georgina, can you just park behind this car for 5 minutes?
There's another car. You're blocking all the traffic.
(CAR HORNS BLARE) Georgina, let's go.
Come on.
Yeah. Park her in there.
KIM: No. No. No. No.
Oh, come on.
She's gone round the front. They're in the house.
They're in there.
I'm going around the front.
Roger.
I can assure you, Cath and Kel are in that property
because Georgina is very, very cagey.
Didn't want to give us any information. She then drove off.
They are in that house. We are more than confident.
(DOORBELL RINGS)
Oh, it's somebody at the door.
(PHONE RINGS) (SING-SONG) Come out. Come out.
Wherever you are.
(PHONE RINGS)
Is it? Is it?
Oh, They're here. The hunters are here.
They're here. They're here. The hunters are here.
NARRATOR: Closing in on Cath and Kel's hide-out in Prahran...
(SING-SONG) Come out. Come out wherever you are.
..hunters...
Catherine, Kelly, come on.
..have the fugitives surrounded.
We know you're in there. We're not going away.
Get your bag. Get your bag.
(PHONE RINGS)
Come on, Catherine.
Guaranteed they've got them both covered.
Catherine, Kelly, time's up.
We're actually nice people. Just open the door.
Come on.
What are we going to do? We're sitting ducks.
Yeah.
Let me put my fighting hair on.
Marco, do you read? Yeah. Roger that.
Roger, keep eyes peeled.
They're opening the gate now.
Bravo. Get ready.
We're ready.
Alright, guys, focus.
We work hard for this. Come on.
(SHOUTING)
(ALL CHEER)
That's what we want.
You've been hunted down.
Oh, you ratbags. Well done, guys.
Run's over.
First ones in the bag. Well done to you guys.
Well done, guys.
Oh, hello. Hello.
Kelly and Catherine, how are you going?
Oh, we're lousy.
Thanks. Thanks for having a go.
I don't know who you thought you were going to come up against.
Sorry. 'Having a go' sounds slightly condescending.
Yeah, it was meant to be. (LAUGHTER)
You had a good go and better luck next time.
Thank you.
Well done, ladies. Good run. Well done, Bravo.
Watch your head.
I betcha we came undone by a tech. I betcha.
It will be tech.
And we didn't grow up with a lot of this stuff.
It does... It's not second nature. No. That's right.
I couldn't help but notice that when we were caught.
Not only did we scream, but then we laughed.
Oh, well. It is what it is.
We just found Wally. We did.
For two days they left us taunts, dressed up as Where's Wally?.
But the only Wallys I see was at the end of the call today
when we caught them.
Getting the first capture is incredibly motivating.
We felt the feeling. We want that feeling again.
Funny fuzzy feeling in my pants.
(LAUGHTER)
Don't put that bit in, please.
I'll get told off by my missus.
With the capture of Cath and Kel on day two of the hunt,
HQ now has 19 days left
to find 18 remaining fugitives,
a target of almost one a day.
OK, everyone, can I just have your attention, please?
One team is down, but there is absolutely not even time
to catch breath here.
Keep your foot down. We need to accelerate our capture rate.
Yes, Chief. And here we go.
Under pressure to secure another capture...
Alpha. Alpha, this is Ops.
..all eyes turn to Team Alpha
who are staking out O'Brien's Bendigo in search of Glenn and Taylah.
I need you to conduct the soft knock now.
Roger that.
We need to confirm if that van is in there or not.
Hunters are looking for Glenn and Taylah's white van...
Do you want to go that way? Yeah.
..unaware the pair has a strategy of switching vehicles
as often as they can.
Here we go.
Right. One's going to the back.
I've got Jase on this one.
Jase is going in now.
He's inside? Yeah.
Hi. How you going? Jason's my name.
There's another entrance/exit around there, is it?
Yeah. I'm just coming around the side now.
All the doors are open on the side.
I can confirm that white transporter is here.
Box it in, Nikki.
I'll just have a quick look.
At this point I cannot see anybody here.
Yeah, roger that.
Use your Spidey senses. Do what you need to do. Over.
Gary. Is this the police?
What's your name?
Jason's my name, mate.
Obviously, you work here. Yes.
So, do you know who brought the van here?
You know who bought the van here. OK. I'm asking do you.
I don't know, because I wasn't actually here.
He knows something. Press him hard.
OK. So, where are they at the moment?
I don't bloody know.
Look at him. He's not a very good liar, this guy.
So, when did you see him last?
You couldn't lie straight in bed, mate.
Gary is absolutely full of it.
You could see by his body language he was going to give us nothing.
One's a little bloke. One's a big bloke.
One's a little bloke.
Quite obvious to tell
when people are either trying to take you off the track
or giving you misleading information.
You could see he was hiding something.
So, we need to stay on the trail of what we're not hearing
and what we're not seeing.
A search of the van delivers nothing in the way of clues.
So, hunters head to Gary's home in Heathcote to continue the search.
Copy. Just be aware that Gary's a bit concerned we're going to his home.
Roger that. Jaz.
Can we get all vehicles registered to his home address?
So, they've obviously dumped the van.
They may have exited in a separate vehicle belonging to Gary.
We need to work that out.
But in any event, we cannot let them exit Bendigo without the capture.
If they leave Bendigo, the trail might go cold
and we can't afford to do that.
What have we missed?
Echo is there in play and got their eyes out.
So, we've got a net pretty well covered.
Hey, Ben.
We've just got intel regarding cars registered to Gary. Yes.
Let me send you through the details now.
Alpha. Copy. Yeah. Alpha copy.
We've got the vehicle registered to Gary.
There is a dark blue Chevy ending 037.
We'd like to see if it's not there.
If it's not there, it's probably the vehicle they're using currently.
Further details to follow,
but please keep locked on to that vehicle.
JASON: Roger that. Thanks, mate.
Glenn and Taylah are our number one priority at this point.
They've created so much noise, it's hard to drop.
We're covering Bendigo off.
It feels like we're close.
Oh, rego. Rego. 037.
037?
Yeah. 037. It is? Shit.
That's it. That's it.
Yeah. Boys, boys, boys.
Urgent. Urgent.
The vehicle is travelling back towards Bendigo. It just passed us.
Chief, vehicle is mobile.
There we go. Here we go. Here we go.
Rego ended in 037.
That's it. That's it.
Hunt him down, Ibis.
VOICEOVER: Watch every adrenaline-pumping moment
of the thrilling second series of Hunted Australia
with full episodes on 10Play.
That's it. That's it.
Yeah. Boys, boys, boys.
The vehicle is travelling back towards Bendigo.
It just passed us.
Chief, vehicle is mobile.
There we go. Here we go. Here we go.
Rego ended in 037.
That's it. That's it.
Hunt him down, Ibis. Roger.
(BLEEP) come on.
Did we get occupants? No.
Just hoping that Glenn and Taylah are still in that vehicle.
Alpha, this is Ops.
Is there any chance we could do a check drill on that vehicle
and I.D. of the occupant?
I'm up the backside of that vehicle now.
Does it look like he's bald?
Yeah. Reece, driver appears to have a bald head.
Righto. We might have a possible identification of the fugitives.
Come on, let's do this.
Let's go.
Alpha, intercept that vehicle.
Need to confirm who is in that vehicle.
Yeah, Reece. He seems to be putting his foot down a bit here, mate.
Maybe he might be trying to put a little bit something between us.
Acknowledge, Alpha.
Come on. Go, go, go, go. Take them out. Take them out.
These fugis are not escaping us.
Got this.
Oh, please be them. We need this.
Yeah. He's pulling over now.
Who we got? Who we got?
Is it them? Is it them?
Negative, mate. Yeah.
(BLEEP)
You're alright, mate. How are you? OK, good.
That's pissed me off, man.
(BLEEP) now.
You obviously work at O'Brien's. How do you know Glenn and Taylah?
I was just asked to pick up a car
and I found it on the side of the road.
Yeah, right.
Alpha. Alpha, this is Ops.
Oh, I'm going to retask you guys. Move back to CBD.
Everyone. Can I just have your attention, please?
We've just had a setback.
We will make our comeback stronger than that setback.
Don't be dissuaded. Don't be deflated.
Keep going. I want to see some results.
OK. Can we gather around the centre console?
Yes, Chief.
OK. Edward and James.
Old Jimi Love. What have we got on these two?
Jimmy's a marriage celebrant.
We have their devices. OK.
Edward is the brains of the operation.
James' from what I have dug into so far.
is to make as many friends as possible.
How are you guys? Excuse me.
Do you know where I buy a myki card?
The train station.
I'm Jimi. This is Ed. We're fugitives on the run.
Are you catching a bus somewhere?
OK, Megan and Gracie.
Auntie and niece.
Gracie owns a business.
She's a beauty therapist, so they're quite outgoing.
However, accessing regular comforts
to maintain that well-groomed appearance
is also going to be a challenge.
Night-night, hunters.
Byron and Tanase.
We've got a lot of resources on these people.
Is there anything we can intensify? Because I want them out of the game.
These two have a point to prove, Chief.
They obviously have African-Australian background
and Byron in particular is a real advocate
in the people of colour space.
They see that they have a lot of things that potentially put them at a disadvantage.
So they want to prove that despite that,
they can do really well on this run.
See you soon. Thank you. Bye.
Arriving in the inner suburbs of Melbourne,
Byron and Tanase are indeed intending to prove what they can do.
This is a bit nerve wracking because it's like,
are we actually going to pull it off?
I feel super, super nervous. Same.
They're planning a taunt so risky...
I feel sick.
..it will put them in immediate danger
of getting caught by the hunters.
This could go either way. Yeah.
A live taunt.
I feel like we're about to be face to face with our enemy. Yeah.
Today we're going to get friends to post a video of us
on their live Instagram page.
To know that they're so close is literally terrifying.
I'm involved with a lot of different African events here in Melbourne
and we're a very giving community,
so I feel really confident that they will be able to help us.
Byron and Tanase are staging their live taunt
at the Speakeasy Bar in South Yarra.
Well, hopefully this is just like a big ticking time bomb
and we set the grenade and then we're out.
That would be the ideal situation. Yeah.
To help, they've roped in a friend to film them.
Hey, how are you? Good. How are you going?
And a group of masked decoys.
No.
Definitely a little bit nervous.
But I really want to do this and I really want us to do well.
Tanase is very outgoing and spontaneous,
but yeah, she can also get very overwhelmed.
I'm a bit more level-headed
and I think this is going to be something
that will be really good for us and our bonding.
Doing this with Byron, I definitely don't feel
like there is any room for me to feel fear.
We don't give (BLEEP).
Being brave is who we are as individuals.
I really feel like it's just going to make us stronger
Yeah. Being out of our comfort zone will help us grow.
OK, guys. Surprise.
It's us.
We're here at The Beat, South Yarra.
We're waiting. We're dancing. We've got our friends.
Guess who we are? Come and guess who we are.
Find us. We'll be waiting for you.
See you? Hey, Simf.
We're being taunted on an Instagram Live.
No way.
See if you can figure out who we are.
Oh, my God.
They're actually crazy enough to do that.
Where is that? Chapel Street, South Yarra.
Got ya. (BLEEP)
I hate it. I hate it.
Chief, we've got a live video from Byron and Tanase.
Catch us if you can. (LAUGHS)
(BLEEP) Byron, Tanase, starting to piss me off.
(TANASE LAUGHS)
Bring it on.
Chief, We've got a live video from Byron and Tanase
from Chapel Street.
Catch us if you can. Waiting for you. Cheeky (BLEEP).
Byron and Tanase, starting to piss me off.
They messed up doing that. Get eyes on them ASAP.
Reese, deploy the closest ground hunter team to Chapel Street.
Yes, Chief. Want to play a (BLEEP) game, I'll play a game with ya.
All call signs All call signs. This is Ops.
Hey. Alpha. Alpha up.
Charlie's standing by. Charlie's up.
Delta copy. Delta's up.
Determined to throw the full force of ground hunters
at Byron and Tanase,
the three closest call signs - Alpha, Charlie and Delta -
are immediately deployed to South Yarra.
Ops, this is Delta. We're 15 minutes out.
Charlie.
Yeah, Reece, we are on our way to Chapel Street if that's the one.
That is the one.
The closest, Team Alpha, is just minutes away.
Let's go with details, mate.
We've got a screenshot coming into Alpha now.
They're wearing red boilersuits and masks.
So, we're looking for two people in friggin' red suits.
If they're dressed like that, it's bloody stupid.
HQ. This is Alpha. We're three minutes out.
We're going in hot.
BYRON: See if you can figure out who we are.
Everyone, gather round. This is going to be a ride.
You do understand, taunting them like this,
it's like...it's like poking an angry rat.
They're going to be like, rarr.
They're really going to focus on us now.
Reece, one minute out. Roger that.
Tactical battle. Over to you guys. Let's get it done.
Let's go, let's go. Come on.
Over there. The bloke in the yellow.
Reece. Reece. Urgent. Urgent.
We have people in the suits in the shop.
Roger that. Please be there.
If you need to roll in hard, roll in hard.
We are moving now.
Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Now let's go.
Got this. We they need this.
HQ. HQ, we have a runner.
Take them out.
It's either a fugitive or someone's racing to go and warn them.
Come on.
HQ, I've reached the back of the bar.
Can you take your mask off?
Push, mate. Come on.
Can you just take your mask off? Just so we can have a talk.
It's just a random, mate. How are you, buddy?
Go over there.
(BLEEP) Oh, my God.
We're going to go after fugitives Megan and Gracie.
Get your butterfly net ready.
Bye, hunters.
This is cool.
We've intercepted messages. It's happening very soon.
She's at the work address where you're headed to now.
HQ, we're three minutes out.
This is real life for us.
They're in there. Yeah, they're in there.
Eyes on.
We are hugely motivated...
Push around the front. ..to catch
Stop there. ..every single fugitive
this time.
Eyes on. Eyes on. Under the car.
(KNOCKING) Trust me.
One or two days in...
I just heard a car.
..paranoia kicks in.
Headlights, headlights. Hey, let's get out of here.
Quite frankly... What I want to do is get a lift. OK.
I love the sarcasm.
..they're going to wonder why the hell they started this.
We have drones. We have dogs.
We have thermal imagery. You have movement.
Our ground hunters move swift, silent.
And surrender is definitely not in our creed.
I'm going to go.
Michelle, they've slowed right down.
Stop!
Go, go, go.
You got nowhere to go.
Stop there. (BLEEP)
Arrgh!
Yeah. It's cat and mouse.
but...this mouse is quick.
