hosting The Cheap Seats from 8.40. Bye!
Previously on Hunted...
..18 ordinary Australians...
I'm a bartender.
And a big social butterfly.
..entered a thrilling game...
We've been studying espionage and how to blend in.
..but before becoming fugitives,
they would need to steal their prize money to take on the run.
We get to steal $1 million.
(CHEERING)
To pull off the million-dollar heist...
Alright, everybody out. Let's go.
..they put their real-world skills to the test.
Jeez, it's a bit harder than cutting hair.
Come on, guys, we don't have a lot of time.
Grab the hammer and smash it. Cameras off! Let's go!
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
Out of $1 million, they stole 927,000.
Put 'em in, straight in the bag! Straight in the bag!
(ALARM SOUNDS) Guys, the alarm!
But... Hunter headquarters.
..an elite team of hunters...
Team, this just got real.
We are the best hunter team on the planet.
There is nowhere they can go.
..were ready to hunt them.
Here we go.
We have three pairs travelling east.
Stay on that fugitive!
Come on.
Don't drop that. Over 100 grand.
We gotta go. We gotta go.
With one team already captured on day two of the game...
You have been hunted down.
..can the remaining eight fugitive pairs
hold on to their $103,000 in prize money?
They robbed the bank. Look. Oh, yeah.
Staying on the move and undetected for the next 19 days...
Capture pants are on. Capture pants are deployed.
..or will they be hunted down?
Let's go!
It's over, mate!
Hunters...
We've got one capture in,
but we've still got eight pairs still out there.
I want to throw everything that we have got at these fugitives.
HUNTERS: Yes, chief.
I know this is a game, but they robbed a bank.
They're fugitives. We're going to catch them.
Reviewing CCTV from the robbery,
former armed robbery squad investigator
Graeme Simpfendorfer is building a profile
of the fugitive robbers to help the hunters focus in
on their next priority target.
They've got face masks and tools.
This is a process that has to be taken
with every single armed robbery investigation.
My job as lead investigator
is to put all the information together
and come up with a strategy on
how we can find where the fugitives are.
I need to be thinking exactly like they are.
Get into their minds and understand what makes them tick.
Chief, this is amateur hour. This is their first robbery.
I don't think we're looking for serial bank robbers.
I don't think we're going to get hit a second time.
(LAUGHS)
Watch Lee with his mask on his head.
He's not the sharpest tool, is he? Bunch of muppets.
We've got a problem here.
It looks like they were lucky they got in to start with.
Joe was on some tools.
Do you want to insert the clown music?
Have a look at him!
Joe, he's been tasked to eliminate the cameras within.
Missed some cameras.
The heat of the moment.
The robbers will panic. They will make mistakes.
We've already seen some of that, we think.
So it's crucial for us to be methodical
around every piece of information.
Uh, do you have some scissors
or are we not allowed stabby items here?
The game has shifted levels,
but this case is going to be right in my wheelhouse.
Um, Simpf, what do you got for us?
I've received all the footage from inside
and outside the Savings Bank of Ballarat
in relation to the robbery.
What we see is that each of the fugitives appear
to have a pre-planned role
on what they're to do to execute this robbery.
Some of that doesn't quite go to plan.
Lee, look, he's just had a bad day out.
(LAUGHS)
I don't think Tayla really knew what she was doing.
She was just smashing away at safety boxes
and didn't seem to enter too many.
Ondeane was quite quiet, didn't see much of her.
Seems a little bit out of her depth. Yeah.
OK. If that's the low-hanging fruit right now,
let's get cyber onto it.
Ondeane and Shelli, given age and sort of based on profile,
I feel like they're going to leave behind a lot of breadcrumbs.
Yeah, I agree.
Just keep down.
Now's a good time.
No cars. Let's go.
Where is she going?
Run, Shelli! Run!
She's off!
Since the robbery, Western Australian cousins
Ondeane and Shelli have been hiding out
in rural south west Victoria,
aided by the help of strangers.
And, today, they're being picked up by a contact
at a prearranged meet up to be driven to their next location.
I don't know how long to give her.
I think, um, you know, she's probably parked
across the road even.
Assuming Shelli might come back.
Oh. Bless her.
Oh, babes! There it is. There it is.
No, no, no, no, there it is.
Am I meant to be sitting down?
If it comes to me, I'm going to get it.
Now, should we put these down? Just don't hit me with it. Right?
She was pretty quick.
I was impressed. She was off, eh?
Quite good for a 61-year-old, Shell.
Well, I know Shelli because, um, she's my cousin.
Cousins and besties.
Duckie!
(CALLS TO THE DUCK)
Nice place for a duck to hang out.
I love her to bits. And, yeah, she's fun.
OK. Let's run.
Is there room?
Oh, my God.
Let's get out of here.
Oh, sh...
Where the hell did you go?
I'm 61 years old, but I've got the mindset
of an 18 to 24-year-old.
Hey, I was laughing my head off.
What, me running?
People will be looking at us and underestimating us
and thinking, "Oh, those old bears."
So we're swapping cars and then we're going somewhere else.
Oh, this is cool.
But we're the dark horse.
The hunters will come after you because we're...
We're friends on Facebook and whatever.
We're ex-Navy, you know.
Oh, yeah.
I was a supervisor there, too...
We were in East Timor doing what we had to do,
and my gun went off.
So I joined the Navy when I was 19.
Um, I first joined as a truckie, and then I changed to naval police.
I left the Navy after 20 years
as a chief petty officer naval investigator.
Once I had children, I left the Navy because I didn't want to leave them.
It just would have been too hard.
Since then, I've become an investigator for the government.
I feel safe out here. Eh, do you? I mean, we're out in the woop woop.
This to me, is like, out in the woop woop.
I'm going on the run because I spent 20 years in the Navy
where I had people telling me what to do,
but I want to be the one running from authorities.
I want to be breaking the rules.
Hi, I'm Shelli, what's your name? Mark.
Mark. Shelli.
I know that Shelli and I have to bring our A game.
Oh!
And with my military background,
absolutely, I'll be able to put myself in the shoes of the hunters.
I'm going to use that to my advantage.
Catch us if you can. Mm-hm.
Bring it on. Yeah!
Ah-ha! Yeah, baby.
Ondeane's ex-Navy contact has organised for the pair
to spend the night at a remote bush hideaway
owned by her friend, Mark.
If they're coming, ring that bell.
And wherever we are, we know, we're off.
Let's hear the bong. (GONG SOUNDS)
Oh, wow. That's it.
That's so cool.
We hear that, we're running.
We're running.
To help throw the hunters off the scent...
We have cover photos. It's going to be your cover photo.
..they're giving Mark access to Shelli's Facebook account
to use at a later time.
Let's hope that's the right password because...
If it's not the lowercase G, try a capital G, OK?
And if it's not 212, it's 112.
Could be one of those.
LP, I've got Shelli and Ondeane's devices
ready to look at when we need to.
Sweet. We're gonna get 'em!
At the start of the game,
the fugitives turned over their laptops and phones.
Do you think there'll be some gold in there?
Oh, yeah.
And now, with their skills in ethical hacking,
the cyber team are gaining access to Ondeane and Shelli's devices
under the lead of new head of cyber Leah Pinto, or LP.
So the techniques that we employ here
are very similar to what we employ in the real world.
So we have three key skills - open source intelligence,
which is basically finding and piecing together information
that are available online.
I found a post where they called each other cousins,
but she said "cousey bros". So I don't know if she was like,
you know, "cousey bruzzi" kind of thing.
We have ethical hacking and we have digital forensics.
Doing all the dodgy things.
We can hack into accounts.
We can find the information that's being hidden
and find the things people don't want you to find.
Like, no messages in this phone... For Ondeane and Shelli?
Yeah.
For Ondeane, this one is.
Let's have a lookie-loo.
Turned off all backups, smart.
So Ondeane has cleared everything.
Not only has she cleared everything,
she's cleared everything in an intelligent, selective manner
that makes it very difficult to do what I do.
She is switched on.
Really misjudged them. Big time.
Drawing a dead end on Ondeane's phone,
the cyber team are drilling into her personal details for leads.
Veteran's card.
Do you know much about what a veteran's card means?
Yeah. So she's either ex-military, ADF.
Excuse me, chief, are you free? Yes.
I just want your expertise on something here.
Um, LP's found a veteran's card in relation to Ondeane.
OK. It's got a red poppy on it.
So that means she served somewhere.
And the poppy would denote, um, military
as opposed to law enforcement? Yeah, 100%.
Yeah. And this is an old document that I have found.
Ondeane was using her maiden name when she was in the military.
Petty officer.
Ondeane, that's her.
So what does that mean? She's in the Navy.
She's a petty officer.
So that's a high ranking, uh, other rank.
Yeah, she'd know a fair bit about planning.
She's obviously had an extensive military career.
The next rung up is a chief.
Interesting. Very.
Ondeane and Shelli have definitely gone up on the priority list.
Obviously, Ondeane, being a former service person,
she is definitely going to be harder to catch than originally thought.
Finding no leads on Ondeane's devices,
the hunters' attention turns to Shelli's phone.
Hey, Simpf, something juicy over here on...
Juicy? ..Shelli's phone.
Oh, someone's tried to log in
from Maddingley, Victoria on an iPhone.
It was a denied login, though. Oh, was it?
Yeah. It said that they blocked.
A login attempt from an iPhone 11 in Maddingley on Shelli's account.
I mean, you'd think the only one who's going to try and log in
to that account is Shelli herself.
What I'm loving is that Shelli will have no idea that we have this.
She must know that we would monitor the Facebook account, surely.
Yeah, but I don't know whether she would think enough technically...
That we would get a login.
We would get a notification, whereas Ondeane would know.
She would, right, yeah.
Every fugitive pair has their weaknesses and strengths.
And if we're looking at Ondeane and Shelli as a pair,
if we're talking about technical prowess,
Shelli is very much the weakest link.
I think we're onto something here.
So this could lead us straight on to
where Ondeane and Shelli currently are.
Nice one, Shelli.
As the game of Hunter ticks over into day three of 20...
..the hunters are more determined than ever
to capture the remaining eight fugitive pairs.
Hunter headquarters. Top table.
Alright, team.
First fugitive pair I want to talk about
is Andy and Deb. Simpf, I'll push to you on this.
We've seen on the CCTV
that they've planned their exit route
from where the vehicle in Geelong dumped everyone,
they went covering their face.
So Andy and Deb plan.
We know they're husband and wife.
We know he is a firefighter.
What else do we have on them, cyber?
Deb's father, in the late '60s, robbed the South Australian TAB.
So, obviously, robbery runs in the family.
So who's going to bleach my hair? Me.
Alright, you're on.
We're about to see Eminem 2.0, and I'm excited.
I've seen people bleach their hair and it turns purple.
Well, I hope mine doesn't do that.
This is only the start of looking
completely different from his mug shot.
Let's do the front.
And I reckon, just at the front there,
just flick it up there. Yeah, there you go.
Alright, let's see.
Oh, yeah. Looks good, though.
Are you feeling yourself? Yeah. Feeling myself.
Next fugitive pair we're going to look at are Kaylie and Tony.
He is a rally car driver.
And we believe that Kaylie is his copilot.
So we're looking into that rally network.
Doors are open on the bus.
Cool. This is cool.
So if the hunters come, just jump into the driver's seat.
Yeah, the keys are in the race bag.
Jayde and Tayla, what have we got on these guys?
Yeah. So what we do know,
Jayde and Tayla, both 24, from the Gold Coast.
What's the relationship? Is it work?
Um. They're besties.
They do seem somewhat superficial, with a huge, like, friends presence.
For example, their birthday party had, like, over 100 people there.
Most of their photos on their phone are of just them looking good.
I think they're really going to rely on their image
because they really rate themselves.
Oh, my God, oh, my God, I actually love this.
You actually suit that colour.
What the frick? Oh, my God, you look cute.
(LAUGHS)
OK, the last pair we've got is fugitives Luke and Ben.
We know that they are married.
Luke is a hairdresser,
and Ben has a background in social work and youth work,
and has some connections to
the social organisations in the area.
Just having a look at Luke, you know,
even if he does change his appearance,
they will always stick out.
We need to get on the hunt with these guys.
I would actually like to see the hunter's face arrive to this.
When we found out we were going on the run, the first thing,
and I already knew this, that Luke said he wanted to pack
was the spray tan machine.
It's just part of who he is.
So, Luke and I have been married for a year.
We've been together for five years.
I call Luke the "triple threat".
He's good looking, he's hilarious, and he's down-to-earth.
Aw. That was nice.
How funny would it be if the hunters arrive right now?
Oh, ho-ho-ho! At least let me finish my leg.
We decided to go on the run
because Luke really wanted a new challenge for himself.
I want to get out of the house.
I'm in here 24/7,
like, I work from home, which I love.
But some days, I only leave to go to the gym
and I get cabin fever.
And how cool to put, like, your life on pause
and then go into a video game for 24 days.
Like, that's what it's like, right?
The money's, like, inside somewhere.
More important is the tanning machine.
Yeah, I've really oversprayed.
Oh-ho-ho-ho!
We know that there's going to be a fair bit of roughing it.
I like to think that it'll be fine, though.
Yeah, I think we're... We'll be fine.
See? It's when I don't try. My hair looks good.
We're going to outplay the hunters
because we've got an extensive network of people
right across Victoria that we can rely on.
Yeah. We're out.
Um, I've got a lot of clients that have holiday houses.
We have colleagues, we have cousins, sisters,
um, and a lot of family that would do anything
to help us get across the line.
OK. Alright. Love you.
Love you. Alright. Let's get our stuff.
Relying on their extensive network of Melbourne contacts,
friend Simonne is driving hairdresser Luke and Charity CEO Ben
to her mother-in-law's property.
It's safer to get to a location, bunker down,
work out the escape routes and be prepared to run.
But the newlyweds need to make an unscheduled stop.
Oh, we can go into that chemist.
They'd have the tan in there.
Gonna have to make sure you park far enough away.
Like, literally, three, four blocks away.
And we'll run in, run back so they can't ping your car. Yeah, yeah.
To avoid being captured on CCTV getting out of Simonne's car...
I reckon just here. Yeah. Behind this car.
Yeah.
..they're parking two blocks back from the main street.
We're off.
So we're going to the chemist. Yeah. Left.
Oh, my gosh! Heart's racing.
Excuse me.
Do you have any fake tan?
No, no, sorry. No fake tan.
OK. Thank you.
Woolie's on the right. Yeah.
It's a foam. Let's just take that.
Let's go.
That was adrenalised.
Oh, my God, you were so quick. I can't even...
Now, they won't have any CCTV of your car getting away.
So they don't know which direction we've gone.
Despite Luke and Ben's discreet stop in town,
back at headquarters...
Ben! Have a look at this.
..a member of the public has tagged the hunters on social media.
Two minutes ago, someone messaged Instagram saying they saw Luke.
But who's that now?
In Moorabbin on Central Avenue.
Long-haired bloke.
I mean, this could very well be legit, couldn't it?
Because it's not exactly a taunt, is it?
Could we get his number and I'll call him?
Yeah.
(OVER PHONE) Hello? Bailey speaking.
Bailey. Hello, mate. My name's Ben. How are you?
Yeah. I'm good, thanks. Self?
Yeah, good, thanks, buddy.
Mate, thank you so much for your video you sent it to us.
Appreciate it. That's alright.
What locked you on to him, Bailey?
Uh, I knew as soon as I saw him.
Yeah, they were running up the road.
They went to a chemist on Central Avenue.
Wad anyone else with them at that time?
No-one else with them.
Didn't see any vehicles in the vicinity
that they might have gone to or bus stops, anything like that?
No.
Bailey, you've been, um, an absolute legend.
Thank you so much, mate.
I think that is 100% legit, chief.
They were there half an hour ago.
Bailey is a member of the public, ie, an informant.
He's given us crucial information today about Luke and Ben.
Next steps is to find out where Luke and Ben are actually running to.
So all guns are blazing to get all units in the area,
find out where Ben and Luke are going and who with,
and affect the capture with the next hour.
All units, all units, we have a significant update
on the hunt for Luke and Ben.
Uh, Bravo Unit will go through you.
Bravo. Copy.
We've had a tip-off from a member of the public.
Bravo, could you make speed to that location now?
This sighting was of only 30 minutes ago.
He reported that he saw Luke and Ben exit a chemist
in and around that Woollies area.
Bravo received. We are 28 minutes from Moorabbin. Over.
Roger. Thank you.
Alright, now we just have to get you to Sue's.
MAN: Yeah.
Do I try and find this back entrance to Sue's?
I think we do that 'cause I can literally drop you
and then keep driving.
Oh, yeah. Is what I'm thinking.
And then I'll give you the gate code.
Yeah. Yeah.
I just hope the paddock is as bushy as I'm envisioning that it is,
because I know you can just walk in and it's quite thick
in some sections up the front.
Right, looks probably hoping that it's not.
Yeah! (CHUCKLES)
Where's Bravo?
I anticipate them getting there in the next sort of 60 to 120 seconds.
I could have just said, "One or two minutes."
Would have been easier, wouldn't it? (LAUGHTER)
Pull up in here.
Less than an hour behind the fugitives,
ground hunter team Bravo has arrived in Moorabbin.
WOMAN: We'll go check the chemist.
Hi. How are you?
Uh, my name's Nikki, and we're just trying to track a few fugitives.
OK, the two guys that came in here before. Yes. Still here.
Yeah? Yeah.
Um, did they purchase by cash?
They didn't buy anything.
What did they ask for? They obviously came in to...
They asked for fake tan?
That's it? No directions?
(OVER PHONE) Chief. Bravo.
Send it.
We've cleared the chemist.
They went in there looking for fake tan.
Didn't ask for anything else and then exited.
We're still canvassing the street. Over.
Roger. Thank you.
How you going, mate?
I'm looking for a couple of people that would have ran by here.
We think probably an hour, hour and a half ago.
Did you see anyone run by here earlier?
Like, about an hour ago?
Where did they go?
Which way, mate?
Um, where did they exactly go?
In front of Deano's joint?
Two storey house. On the other side here.
One more question for him, actually. Yeah.
The type of car.
Thank you very much, guys. Appreciate it.
They have NFI - no freaking idea.
Oh, my God... Suckers!
So good.
(LAUGHS)
I'm wondering if you can help me.
I'm looking for a couple of people that would have ran by here.
Thank you very much, guys. Appreciate it.
HQ, Bravo. We have Luke and Ben mobile in a vehicle.
Yeah!
Right. Let's go.
Mobile in the vehicle, Luke and Ben.
Confirm you have Luke and Ben mobile in a vehicle. Over.
Bravo. Correct.
However, I should pause for effect.
We're not following them.
We're about an hour behind them.
But the workers on the street saw them get into a silver Corolla.
(SIGHS)
Following a tip-off from a crane operator,
HQ orders CCTV of the surrounding area to track down
the silver Toyota Corolla's registration number.
If we know the time they crossed an intersection that has cameras,
we can ask for CCTV for that.
We want that CCTV.
If we can find out who the owner of that car is, we've got them.
OK. Let's go.
Well, away from CCTV...
(DOG BARKS)
WOMAN: Let's get dirty. WOMAN 2: Watch your back.
Let's get dirty.
Watch your back. Go right down, Right in there.
Western Australian cousins, Ondeane and Shelli...
They'll never find us here.
..have spent the night at Mark's remote bush property.
When they had those red radar things to detect heat,
this has got us, stone cave.
I reckon we're definitely safe here.
This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.
What do you reckon, Louis? (CHUCKLES)
The pair are unaware the log-in attempt on Shelli's Facebook account
has the hunters on their trail.
That's really good with these two,
because we had, oh, nothing... Sweet FA.
..absolutely nothing on Ondeane and Shelli.
And Shelli's just lit up like a Christmas tree for us.
Knowing the attempt was from an iPhone 11 in Maddingley,
the hunters have ordered a cell dump.
BEN OWEN: When we talk about cell dumps and cell site analysis,
this is what is going to be used on real life fugitives.
We want a bunch of numbers
that have connected to a cell tower at any given point.
The phone numbers lead us to associates.
The associates lead us to fugitives.
With only one of the six numbers in the cell dump attached
to an iPhone 11, the hunters now have their target.
We've got intel on the phone numbers from that cell dump.
(THUDS TABLE)
What we got?
Belongs to a gentleman by the name of Mark.
And Mark lives in Coimadai.
I'm digging.
He's with Telstra, so it must be remote.
Alpha. Alpha. HQ.
MAN: (OVER PHONE) Alpha. Over.
We are on the hunt for Ondeane and Shelli.
Could you start transiting towards...
..forgive my pronunciation, but Coimadai?
We believe Ondeane and Shelli may be at the property.
Yes!
His property is very large and a perfect place to stop
and harbour fugitives for the night.
The Alpha, copy all. 36 minutes.
Thank you very much. (PHONE BEEPS)
Righto, mate, big property. We've only got one team here.
Let's keep our eyes peeled.
We're gonna have to get that drone up, mate.
See if we can see any movement from the house itself.
Just duck into the scrub. Yeah, yeah.
(WHISPERS) It's a massive property. There's lots of buildings.
If we get a drone up, we can isolate all the bush surrounding,
get some early warning as we move in,
make sure they're not making their way out as we move in.
HQ, Alpha, we are moments away from drone launch. Stand by.
Standing by.
Just scanning the peripheries of the property now.
We've got a large shed with a caravan.
It's going to try and get some optics on that.
Copy.
I'm approaching the property now.
I've got some outhouses, some sheds.
Looks like a large property with a pool to the east.
That's the peripheries of the property clear.
Not finding any sign of Ondeane and Shelli on the property
using the drone...
Let's team up and move in.
..ground hunter Team Alpha move in to conduct further investigation.
HQ, Alpha.
We're heading in now. Stand by.
Alpha. Copy.
Well, at this point, a note. We're not going to have much reception.
It's a really bad for comms.
(DOG BARKS)
(WHISTLES) Let's go.
(DOG BARKS) Hello, buddy.
I'll go around the back.
Hello?
G'day, mate. How you going?
Mark, is it?
How are you, Mark? I'm Marco.
Nice property, mate.
Yeah, mate.
So, um, looking for a couple of fugitives.
We're still looking for them, yeah.
They had a nice farm stay... Yeah.
..while you guys were working.
(CHUCKLES) So you're a bit late. They've gone.
That's all I can help you with, I reckon.
HQ, this is Alpha. We're just pushing off the property now.
We've only just regained our comms.
Fugitives are not here.
He confirmed he drove him to Bacchus Marsh,
dropping them off opposite the train station. Over.
BEN: Yeah. Roger that.
Alpha, continue en route to that location.
Let's go for a capture today. Over.
With Bacchus Marsh only an 11-minute drive away,
Team Alpha are hot on the trail of fugitives Ondeane and Shelli.
Alright. Game on.
Ondeane and Shelli, we're coming for you.
I'm, like, ridiculously excited about this.
WOMAN: We need to catch them today. We're going to catch them today.
They are there today.
MAN: Anyone in the military
that comes and tries and tests the hunters,
uh, yeah, I take it personally.
Um, for the simple reason
they're trying to use what they think they know from the military.
But I come from the army.
We plan things meticulously.
And being in special operations,
there's no way a Navy person is going to beat me.
WOMAN: Is this the entrance?
Yeah.
Hi. Hi.
We just want to... We want to go to Apollo Bay.
So we've got a Myki card each.
How do we get there?
Using Myki cards given to them by Ondeane's ex-Navy contact...
(CHUCKLES)
I'll jump the fence if I have to.
..the pair plan to travel via public transport
200km south to Apollo Bay.
We're going to head towards the beach.
Yep. Because we're beach babes.
We're beach babes.
I've got his pen, Ondeane.
Oh, don't worry. Just keep it.
HQ, this is Alpha. We are
five minutes from the train station. Over.
Bacchus.
REECE: OK, team, here we go.
We are going to get a capture.
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
That's cool. What do you do? Press it there. Like, just hold it.
Touch? No, no, no, just hold your card.
See it go. OK.
Keeping this on my person at all time.
These ones here? No, the money one.
Well, as long as one of us has got it on our person at all times.
MAN: You scan the platforms, mate, all these cars.
Alright, let's hit it, mate.
HQ, this is Alpha. That's us.
Moving into Bacchus Marsh train station now.
I reckon they're here, mate.
We snap them up straightaway.
HQ, this is Alpha. That's us.
Moving into Bacchus Marsh train station now.
Yeah. Awesome, team. Awesome. (CLAPPING)
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
Ondeane and Shelli, we're coming for you.
I reckon they're here, mate. We snap them up.
Ooh! Let's go, team.
Come on, Alpha.
It doesn't look like signs of life.
Ah!
Must have just missed them. Yeah, just missed them.
HQ, Alpha.
Alpha, send it.
Alpha. We've currently scaled both platforms.
I reckon we've been 10 minutes behind. Over.
CHIEF: Thanks, team. Yeah.
Desi? Yes.
Would we be able to please put a CCTV request in
for Bacchus Marsh train station?
So, with CCTV priority
and then the Myki dump after would be great, please.
Because then we could identify the Myki cards
if they're used further down the line,
and we'll try and track them.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
(SIGHS) Yeah, not happy.
Ondeane and Shelli were able to evade us once.
It's not going to happen again.
Unbelievable.
NARRATOR: On day three of the game,
eight fugitive pairs are spread out across Victoria.
In the South East,
married couple Luke and Ben have been dropped off
near Susan's Pearcedale property.
LUKE: See ya!
They're trekking the final kilometre
to their bed-down location for the night.
Doesn't get any lighter, this bag.
Snake. Very large snake.
Snake? Yeah. Huge.
Where did that snake go?
Who would have thought there were actually snakes out here?
Me and everyone else.
This one has a PIN code.
If this PIN works, we're in the right place.
Oh. Right place.
Let's just make sure that locks behind us.
Having arrived at Simonne's mother-in-law Susan's house,
the newlyweds have been instructed to set up camp in the top paddock.
In the top paddock.
We've got seven acres to choose from.
I feel like this sort of area here.
Make sure we clear the area before we set up for camping.
Check for any snake holes.
I'm really scared after seeing the snake.
I'm, like, I'm not going to be able to sleep! (LAUGHS)
Ben, we have just received CCTV from Moorabbin.
A silver Toyota Corolla can be seen driving south.
We've got details on the vehicle.
Beautiful.
After scouring Moorabbin CCTV for the silver Toyota Corolla,
the hunters' efforts have finally paid off.
We've got the owner of the registration.
Yes! It belongs to Simonne.
And it's registered to an address in Cranbourne South.
In the words of Ben, I love it.
Roger. Standing by.
Bravo, stand by for an address for the Toyota Corolla.
Harbouring Luke and Ben. Stand by.
Cranbourne South, start heading to Cranbourne South, please.
Hell, yeah!
Hell to the yeah!
We're getting them tonight, you know.
Yeah, we're getting them tonight. We're getting them.
We're getting them tonight.
With Team Bravo deployed to Cranbourne South,
Luke and Ben plan to camp overnight in Pearcedale,
only 5km away.
Knock, knock!
We just thought we'd come and say hello.
How are you?
Thank you so much for letting us use your block.
Yeah, thank you so much.
Well, that's what we thought we'd ask you,
because we just saw a big brown snake out at the front,
just near the road, so we thought we'd come and check with you.
Where's a good place for us to set up
that's out of your way?
That would be so awesome. Oh, my God! (LAUGHS)
Oh, I love the idea of not camping.
Hello, puppy. It's OK.
We can just pop our bags down here? SUE: Yes.
Alright. Lovely.
This one's fine.
Oh, this is my style of camping!
Going somewhere where you can camp, but then actually just go
into a room with an en-suite, is my style of camping.
Turned out pretty well, hasn't it?
God, our luck is just...keeps going and going and going.
After swapping out her Corolla, Simonne has arrived at Sue's house...
Oh, my God, I thought... I didn't know who you were.
I forgot that you were changing cars.
I got my neighbour's car so I could get back here.
Hello again!
..unaware Team Bravo are minutes from her home.
Moving up to the target address.
Let's go, Bravo!
Alright, team, so, we're looking at fugitives Ben and Luke.
Obviously, we've tracked them down to this location.
These gates are not going to open.
We're going over the fence.
So, what we're looking for is that silver Corolla.
I think I'm just gonna have a scout around here.
There we go. What have we got here, then?
Vehicle is still in play.
Yeah. It's warm.
There's a vehicle at the gate. Vehicle at the gate.
Vehicle at the gate. Roger.
Only one occupant.
What's going on here?! I'll bet you know why we're here.
No, I have no idea. I've been at work all day.
Have you?
What's your name?
Pete.
Yep. Roger that.
Pete, we're looking for two gentlemen
by the name of Luke and Ben.
Why would I think they're here?
Are they here?
Did you? Yeah!
Can you show me through the house, please?
LUKE: Oh, awesome.
So, who else lives here with you, Pete?
OK. Where is she?
He's shut the door behind me.
There's a note on the table that he's reading.
CHIEF: They're either in there or they're not in there.
WOMAN: Yeah, we want the note.
Open the door and walk in. He's getting rid of it!
Why don't we just get this over?
Tell him to tell us where they are.
We know they're in the property there somewhere.
Pete, I'll need to read that note.
Is it?
Yeah, there's something on there.
What about the note that you just took off the table
and put underneath the, uh, booklet there?
Can I see that, please?
The game's up. I want to read it.
Put it down on the... Leave it there on the table.
Can you read that out?
Here we go.
"I'm at your mum's.
"The boys are in the top paddock."
In the top paddy.
So, staying at Mum's?
Where's the top paddock, Pete?
Pete?
I love gnomes.
Look at this.
NARRATOR: In Pearcedale,
newly wed fugitives Luke and Ben are settling in to Susan's house.
Um, I did rob a bank.
(THEY LAUGH) She just nods to that!
So, I want to show you what I've collected.
See, this bag here is actually quite heavy. (GROANS)
Mostly due to, well, these.
But, other than that...
Check that out. Money?
We actually ended up stealing over $100,000 from the bank.
If they catch us, they take the money off us,
and, I'm assuming, jail.
So... (THEY LAUGH)
The fugitives are unaware,
only 5km away,
Team Bravo are casing Simonne and Pete's property,
where a note has revealed a clue to their whereabouts.
HUNTER: (OVER RADIO) Bravo Roger,
I just want to read you the note, Chief.
Yeah. Roger that.
Righto.
So, it says that, "I'm at your mum's in Lesley's car." More.
"If we need you,
"I'll prank your phone from your mum's home phone,
"though I won't be home any later than 8pm." More.
"The boys are in the top paddock."
Message over. (RADIO BEEPS)
Where does your mum live, Pete?
No.
Your mum doesn't live at the Sunny Coast.
She lives here somewhere.
Where does she live?
She did...
Your wife did not drive to the Sunshine Coast this afternoon.
No.
With Pete uncooperative,
cyber must now track down his mother's name and address.
So, we know it's Pete's mum, at this point.
So we need to find that top paddock.
We can do it. We can do it. We can do it. I'm confident.
Mum, where are you?
I love it when you get pumped up, Jay. Yeah.
BEN: Here's a good question for you, Sue.
Have you got coffee in the house?
SUE: Yes. Oh, thank God!
(CHUCKLES)
I haven't got a machine. No. That's fine.
No, instant coffee is quite fine with me.
LUKE: Any type of coffee and water, we're there.
JAY: I've got a picture of the mother.
Susan, mother of Peter.
There's pictures of the family on Facebook.
Pearcedale, where's that? Suburb, Pearcedale?
Where'd you get that?
White Pages. Nice, nice.
It does look like there would be a paddock there,
to be perfectly honest.
Where does that go?
As Bravo completes a thorough search of Simonne and Pete's property
for any sign of the fugitives...
PETE: You guys having fun?
I'd be having more fun if you told me where they were.
..HQ have deployed Team Charlie as backup,
now diverting them to Sue's Pearcedale property.
Charlie. HQ.
Charlie, send.
Please head towards that location.
Copy that.
ETA three minutes.
Lovely.
Roger. Three minutes.
Bloody awesome.
Yeah, I hope so. I hope so. I feel good.
I feel comfortable about being here.
I feel even better that we haven't set up the tent out there
and we're actually inside! (CHUCKLES)
Alright, slow down, 'cause it's this one here.
Yeah. Righto, team.
Look, we're hot on the trail of fugitives Ben and Luke.
Let's roll in hard.
Copy that.
(HUNTERS SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT)
Moving in.
Right, it's an automatic gate,
so we're not going to get the vehicle in there.
Jump the fence. Let's get up to the property.
On foot.
(DOG BARKS)
FEMALE HUNTER: I'm just gonna have to jump the gate.
(DOGS BARK)
LUKE: The next door?
Their dogs don't usually bark? No.
(DOGS BARK)
HOWIE: OK, I've got eyes on that property now.
Two kookaburras.
Are they? Sitting in an old gum tree.
I'm just going to go straight up to the front.
So, you can hear when, obviously, that guy...
(GASPS) People are running!
Oh, my God, they're here. They're here. They're here!
Hide over here! Quick!
(LUKE PANTS)
Moving in.
(DOGS BARK)
OK, I've got eyes on that property now.
So, you can hear when, obviously that guy...
(GASPS) People are running!
Oh, my God, they're here. They're here. They're here! Quick!
Oh, (BLEEP)! (PANTS)
BEN: What the (BLEEP) just happened?
(BLEEP)!
Oh, my God, shit has gone down.
BEN: There's a large amount of shedding and stuff
at the eastern edge of the property.
Identify where this top paddock is. Where's the top paddock?
HOWIE: Yeah, copy that, Chief.
FEMALE HUNTER: Top paddock. Top paddock. Where would that be?
The nature of the land and some of the bush...
I just want to go and check out that...
I'm just running up there now.
There's two people inside the property.
Two women.
Roger.
Hello.
How are you? Simonne?
Where are the boys?
You know which boys.
Luke and Ben.
(LUKE AND BEN PANT)
BEN: The (BLEEP)?!
Can we come in?
Thanks.
CHIEF: They've got to be in that top paddock there somewhere, Howie.
Dig deep.
It's very bushy.
Um, not many places to camp.
Just doing a bit more systematic now.
Roger.
I've just come across an area where there's some disturbance.
I'm just tracking that now.
A little bit of sign here. Ground sign for sure.
CHIEF: (ON RADIO) ..got a hide or anything in there.
Uh, Ben, have you got your capture pants on?
Yes. And they're pink, just like Luke's shorts.
If we move now, they'll see us.
NARRATOR: The hunters up the ante.
It's a big area. I think we saturate it with ground hunters.
Are they closing in on their next capture?
We need to make our way as far away from here as we can.
Or will the fugitives fight back?
On my count. Just run.
Did you hear that? They are here somewhere.
