NARRATOR: Previously on Hunted...
HUNTER: Tanisha and Bobby, you have been hunted down.
..over halfway through the game...
MARCO: Lee, stop there!
Joanna, your time on the run is over.
(CHEERING)
NIKI: Jayde and Tayla, youse have been hunted down!
..the Hunters have captured three pairs of Fugitives.
Time is not on our side.
We have six Fugitive pairs still on the run.
After a lucky escape...
People are running. Oh, my God. They're here. They're here.
They're here. Quick.
Beds clear.
These guys haven't got a strategy anymore.
..newlyweds Ben and Luke were laying low.
We've got no clothes.
Most of our food is off.
This is grim.
While rally team Tony and Kaylie were flying high...
Waving to the Hunters.
Hello! TONY: Catch us if you can.
(CHEERING)
The show's over and no sign of Joe.
..friends Akec and Joe's decision to ditch his comedy performance...
AKEC: It was too risky.
..left the Hunters empty-handed.
LEAH: Freaking gutted right now.
We have wasted a lot of time and a lot of effort,
but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna lay the hammer down.
But with the Hunters now tracking Ondeane and Shelli...
All units, all units,
live sighting of Ondeane and Shelli at Ballarat bus station.
We're on, boys.
..and Akec and Joe heading in the same direction...
JOE: I met Akec in prison.
She was locked up for being single for too long.
(LAUGHS)
..who will be next to be hunted down?
Move now. Move now.
ONDEANE: Get off or stay on?
SHELLI: I don't know.
Because if they have seen us,
they're gonna be waiting for us at Castlemaine.
There's CCTV seen us getting on.
There's CCTV on this bus.
I agree. Yeah, we could get off here. At least we know we're safe.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
Yep.
If we want to stay in the game.
With only a limited number of stops left
until the end of the line in Castlemaine...
Yeah, 100%.
..and after deliberating on whether to play it safe and get off early,
Ondeane and Shelli have made their decision
as the Ground Hunters track the bus
in the hope the Fugitives are still on board.
I've never been so excited to see a bus.
BEN: (OVER RADIO) Bravo, what is your ETA
to be in the vicinity of the bus?
Bravo. 30 seconds.
Roger.
What I'm hoping is Bravo is gonna keep eyes on the vehicle
but don't spook people inside the vehicle.
GRAEME: The question is gonna be is if they got off.
ZAK: OK, get ready to turn right up here.
There's the bus. There it is.
HQ. Bravo. We see the bus.
This is what we need. This is what we need.
This could be it.
We've got about three minutes until that bus stop in Guildford.
Let's hope they're still on the vehicle.
GRAEME: Castlemaine's the end of the line.
They HAVE to get off at Castlemaine.
(OVER RADIO) Zak, as soon as that bus stops,
I want you guys no more than a car length behind it.
ZAK: Yeah. Roger.
(BLEEP!) I love this.
Righto, team, you're probably about a minute out.
Just be aware,
don't be surprised if Fugitives do get off the bus.
Have a look to the rear and then get back on or run.
Yep. No, worries at all.
Just drive up to the bus a little bit more, Nik,
and stay on this angle.
BEN: Please, be them.
Come on.
GRAEME: This is the critical point.
Put your running shoes on, Zak. Get ready, mate.
ZAK: Just go in a little bit more that way. More. More.
More. Yep. Stop.
Righto. Here we go, team.
Stand by!
Let's keep eyes on that exit point on that bus.
Let's go, Bravo.
You got eyes on, Zak?
ZAK: Yep.
Door of the bus is opening. The bus driver is getting out.
Roger. Wait.
BEN: Door's open. Door's open.
Yep. Stand by.
Let's go, Bravo.
He seems to be unloading some packs. He's unloading some packs.
Come on. Get ready to go. Get ready to go.
That's them! They're out, they're out!
Moving out. Moving out.
That's them! That's them! Go, Zak!
Go, go, go! Go, go!
ONDEANE: Oh, shit! Run!
SHELLI: Oh, (BLEEP!) hell.
ZAK: Ondeane, stop there! Shelli!
Niki, Shelli!
Stop there!
Gotcha.
Your time on the run is over. You have been hunted down.
Run, Shelli!
Where's Shelli?!
Niki, Shelli! Niki, Shelli!
GRAEME: Don't let them get away!
Get her, Nik! ONDEANE: Go, Shelli!
NIKI: Shelli, you've been hunted down. Your time on the run's over.
Ohh... Yes!
(CHEERING)
Yeah! Boom!
REECE: That's Ondeane and Shelli in the bag!
Man, I think I missed my calling as a detective.
Well, it's not too late. Nah, bro, that was my big...
Ooh.
Ooh, they're Hunters. They're Hunters.
These are Hunters, you reckon?
Yeah. They're Hunters. They're hunting.
What the (BLEEP!)? Was that Hunters?
Yeah. (LAUGHS) Did we just drive past Hunters?
Get out of here. Really?
Yeah. They were Hunters. They got someone.
(BOTH LAUGH)
We've gotta get out of here.
Hey, Ondeane, I know we're in the same defence force,
but you definitely picked the wrong side this time.
Oh, well, it was more fun on my side, let me tell you.
Yeah. No. Good work to you guys.
It was great hunting you,
but your time on the run is definitely over.
Thank you. Good job, guys.
Well done. Good job. Well done.
Great work, team! Great work! (CHEERING)
Bring it in. Awesome stuff. Nice, nice, yes.
Awesome stuff.
SHELLI: Well, what a ride, babe.
I wish it wasn't over yet.
I know, same. I wish it wasn't over yet either.
Good job, guys.
I respect what you do,
but I don't like the way you clap, though.
It's like, "Yay!" Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're devo. Like... Yeah. You know?
Come on, guys, have some empathy. And respect.
Yeah. Seriously. For the elderly.
Wait till you get to our age. Oh, speak for yourself.
They are our age, half of them. Yeah.
(CHEERING)
BEN: Bravo killing it this year, aren't they?
That was a good one.
To get Fugitives Ondeane and Shelli,
that is bittersweet.
I have respect for the former military,
but it was navy versus the army,
there's no way a navy person is gonna beat me.
With Ondeane and Shelli captured,
it leaves just seven days
for the Hunters to track down
the remaining 10 Fugitives
still at large
after the million-dollar heist.
Hey, team, look, I'm really happy with the work we're doing on this,
as always.
You know, we've got Ondeane and Shelli.
They are no longer on the run.
I want to get more Fugitives in the bag.
So, let's talk about Fugitives Akec and Joe.
KARLA: They're actually sensing that we're close by.
Obviously, at the gig last week.
For the first time in a long time
they're actually starting to feel the heat.
AKEC: You guys got the whole set-up. This is all we have.
JOE: We drove past the Hunters,
and I was like, "This is how we lose the 100 grand."
It was a reminder to always be vigilant.
I've always been a camper, bro.
What a liar!
So, we've decided to randomly drive to the middle of nowhere
to throw them off.
You've heard of Bear Grylls?
This is Black Grylls about to show you how to put a tent up.
We live to fight another day. That's all I can say.
Next Fugitive pair I want to have a look at is Andy and Deb.
LEAH: Nothing further from yesterday.
Andy is a firefighter, so, he's quite a likeable character.
CARTER: Firefighters are generally pretty close.
I would not be surprised if he uses his contacts or friends over here.
ANDY: Hello, mate. My name is Andy.
I'm a station officer from Adelaide.
Well, um...
..we would love to try to get to Shepparton eventually.
We know that we could stay there for a day or two.
You can? Yep.
Ah, you're a legend!
KARLA: If the plan, as we suspect, is to involve strangers
and to rely on their kindness,
I think that's gonna wear them down over time.
Let's look into it. Run it to ground.
Right. And Fugitives Romanee and Chelsea.
BEN: The last we know about these was in Torquay.
We need to start getting ahead of these guys.
So, we need to do due diligence on these family contacts.
Get in front of them and isolate them.
ALL: Yes, Chief. Thanks, team. Get to work.
I feel like a pack donkey.
CHELSEA: Deep down I knew that we'd make it this far.
We have a lot of good farming connections around Victoria.
Once you've got the trust of someone from a country area,
they're with you for life. Mm-hm.
We had a super hectic start to our run.
They're right there.
The Hunters are in my garage.
Oh, shit. We better go.
But we managed to survive with the helpers
that we've had along the way.
I've got some stuff I was gonna take to the op shop.
If anything fits... Oh!
We've done some odd jobs for a place to stay...
Nice.
..or, you know, just using strangers as we go on.
We seem quite calm and composed... Sorry, it's just...
..but there's a group of people chasing us right now.
And now we've been using contacts
of Romanee's Italian family.
Hi! How are you?
We trust them. Yeah. 100%.
(GASPS) I'm Chels.
How are you?
How's this for being on the run?
BOTH: Oh! Yum.
Drawing from their loyal network of family connections,
Romanee and Chelsea have now enlisted long-time family friend Rosa
to help them on the run.
Yeah!
Well, maybe you should teach us a thing or two.
(LAUGHS)
I think we can outsmart the Hunters
because you don't mess with the Italians.
Oh, my God. That is ridiculous.
Everybody's got each other's backs.
You just don't dob anyone in. Snitches get stitches.
All the best.
But the Hunters, they're probably starting to map out
our family, our networks, all of that sort of stuff.
So, I think, to sort of throw the Hunters off the scent,
Chelsea and I are planning to decoy with Rosa's daughter
to then go a little bit off grid and go camping.
We'll leave you our card to spend.
Or you can withdraw money. That'll ping back to their office.
'Cause we'll be long gone out of Wangaratta
but they'll think that we're still here.
And you look pretty similar to us anyway.
There we go. Yeah.
We'll just hope that we've moved quick enough
if they do make that family connection.
Whilst Rosa's daughter Claudia
heads into town to use Chelsea's debit card
as a decoy to draw the Hunters' attention to Wangaratta...
Let's go. Let's do it.
..Rosa and her husband, Doug,
are transporting Romanee and Chelsea to Echuca,
two hours in the opposite direction.
And right on schedule...
Ben? Yeah?
..part one of their plan
has been actioned by Claudia.
We've got a bank-card activity from Chelsea.
The card was used at 45 Reid Street, Wangaratta.
Thank you very much.
That's interesting, isn't it? 10 minutes ago.
Long way from Torquay.
So, that means they're on the move.
At the ATM, can we request CCTV
to see if we can confirm it's definitely them?
Pleasure.
Legend.
The less you know, the easier it is to lie.
As the Fugitives near their destination,
the Hunters receive CCTV from the ATM.
Ben? We've got CCTV footage.
I'll pop it on the big screen.
Thanks very much. Oh, there is CCTV. OK.
Righto. Here we go. To the big screen, team.
Wangaratta? From today.
Is that Chelsea, is it?
Doesn't look like Chelsea. No.
Doesn't look like her style either.
Yeah, that's definitely not the Fugitives.
They've got someone to use their credit card as a decoy.
Misdirection.
CARTER: Damn.
Carter, maybe if we do this lady for facial recognition,
it might give us the identity.
Yep.
Yeah, cyber, if we're gonna get these guys,
it's gonna be down to you guys, alright?
Yes, Chief.
I think Romanee and Chelsea have wanted to create a decoy,
obviously to throw us off.
But we've experienced all this before.
None of these Fugitives have any understanding
about the technology we are applying this time around.
It's terrifying,
but we're using it against them, so, to me, it's not.
Hey, Ben? Yeah?
We just got a hit on the AI facial recognition.
Yes! VIKKI: Yeah, I got her.
She lives in Wangaratta. Amazing.
She's on Romanee's side again.
Desi, I've got a request...
Yes.
..to get monitoring on Claudia's handset...
Yeah?
..so, at any point Romanee and Chelsea call her
we're gonna know about it.
(WARBLES)
This is the spot of choice.
I think we scope out a spot in a minute.
Yeah, we will, but let's get our stuff out of their car.
I'm excited. We haven't been camping for a while.
She who?
No! No, you've done enough.
We're out in the bush, living large in Echuca.
Rosa, do you mind if we call Claudia back?
(PHONE LINE RINGS)
CLAUDIA: (ON SPEAKERPHONE) Hey. Hey, Claudia. It's the girls.
Hey! How are you going? Good. How are you?
Yeah, good.
I've used the bank card in town.
Thank you again.
Yeah. Yeah. It was so helpful for us.
I'm glad I could help.
Thanks. Yeah. Thank you so much.
Bye. Bye.
No worries. Bye.
Us not knowing where we are helps
because if we don't know where we are...
How are the Hunters supposed to know?
Thank you so much for everything. It's been so good to see you.
Yeah. We will.
I don't know how they could find us here,
track us in the bush.
Unless they track Claudia's phone.
We've just received call-charge records on the phone of Claudia.
I'll pop that through to you. Thank you very much.
NARRATOR: After identifying Claudia
as the accomplice who used Chelsea's credit card
at an ATM in Wangaratta...
Here we go. What have we got here then?
..the Hunters place Claudia's phone on live monitoring
and now have uncovered a list of recent outgoing and incoming calls.
0471.
Says here Wangaratta.
193 was still Wangaratta.
Ooh, third phone number, 615, came back in Echuca.
Lady called Rosa.
Called her mobile. Yep.
So, Claudia attempts to make a ATM transaction
on behalf of Romanee and Chelsea
using Chelsea's card.
Then Rosa calls Claudia, Echuca.
REECE: Do we know what the relationship is here?
VIKKI: Based on the age of that photo,
she's a mum, and they both live in Wangaratta.
Why would she go all the way to Echuca?
Slightly suspicious.
100%.
She's been involved. Oh, yeah.
Maybe Rosa dropped Romanee and Chelsea off.
That's it.
Right now that's the closest lead we've got.
Let's ring her. Find out where she is right now.
Obviously, she's not at her residence.
Let's do it.
Work the Simpf magic.
(PHONE LINE RINGS)
(ON SPEAKERPHONE) Hello? Rosa speaking.
Hello, Rosa. Graeme calling from Hunter HQ.
How are you?
Good, thank you. That's the way.
I'm just ringing in relation to Romanee and Chelsea.
Mm-hm?
What can you tell me about Romanee and Chelsea?
Oh...
We know them.
Yep. You know them quite well, don't you?
No, not really.
No?
I haven't seen Romanee for close to...is it 10 years? More.
Yeah. Right. OK.
Did they use your phone or your vehicles?
No. No.
What about your daughter's?
No.
OK.
Well, been lovely to speak with you, Rosa.
OK. Bye.
See ya. Bye.
She's lying through her teeth.
Jesus.
I can always tell whether people are lying
or telling the truth or hiding something.
She told us a load of bollocks, basically.
So, the more they want to lie
and play the game through their networks,
it actually gives us
more of an insight as to we are on the right track.
They've got a plan that they're just sticking to.
So, I think we deploy units in Echuca and disrupt that plan.
I agree. We can push Bravo up there, see what they can dig up.
Sure, Chief.
Liars do not rub me up the right way.
And Romanee and Chelsea have pushed that button within me.
So, that's gonna be their downfall.
(RUSTLING)
What is that noise?
Don't know. Someone's radio?
I feel safe here
because if the Hunters have tracked Claudia's phone
and where the phone call was made from,
that'll take them some time
and it will only bring them back to Rosa.
And they wouldn't give away any secrets.
They're from Italian heritage, baby. You don't go running your mouth.
Yeah, correct.
If they found us here, I would be like...
(APPLAUDS) You know what?
.."Well done. Hunters, well done."
As Romanee and Chelsea settle in to camp,
the Hunters shift their focus to the other remaining Fugitives...
(PHONE RINGS)
..and in a bid to zero in on their movements...
Hello?
..they've set up a tip line,
allowing the public to call in
with potential sightings or leads on the Fugitives.
It is. How can I help you?
(INDISTINCT BREATHING ON SPEAKERPHONE)
But not every call is genuine.
(LAUGHS)
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello?
(ON SPEAKERPHONE) I'm just trying to call the, um...
..uh...the Department of Foreign Affairs,
the, um...passport line. (LAUGHS)
Definitely not me, mate.
Assistance from the public
can go either one or two ways.
It can give you a tip-off,
which puts you right bang on top of the Fugitives
and you affect a capture.
Or you can spend your entire day
answering the phone to complete weirdos.
(PHONE RINGS)
Oh, wow. This would be some other lunatic.
(CHUCKLES)
Hello? (ON SPEAKERPHONE) Hello?
Hello?
What are you wearing?
Jesus Christ. See what I have to put up with?
(OTHERS LAUGH)
Wow. That really freaked me out.
(OTHERS LAUGH) I'm not gonna sleep tonight.
(LAUGHS)
As the tip line continues unabated...
Thank you so much...
..newlyweds Luke and Ben are relying on the kindness of strangers
after the Hunters burnt their extensive network
of local contacts...
Oh, see you later. Lovely to meet you.
..hitching a ride to the small country town of Healesville
in search for cheap accommodation
to rest and freshen up for the night.
I've got chewing gum stuck on my bum.
We stink.
It's a cute street, though.
Ah, it's a little kooky.
Sometimes you feel safer in the bush, but then...
You're wary in a suburb or a town like this.
Because the Hunters could be anywhere.
Like, you hear all noises.
Yeah, we need to go and work on some friendly locals
and just find out where the closest campsite is.
But if we walk past this servo, we'll get pinged by CCTV.
Do you want to jump on the other side of the road?
Um...
Let's do it.
(PHONE RINGS)
BEN: This'll be another weirdo probably.
Hello?
(ON SPEAKERPHONE) Hello?
Hello. Who's speaking, please?
Fine. And whereabouts are you at the moment?
Yep.
Covered in tattoos. And then there was...
They were with another bloke.
Yeah.
I think he was wearing a black cap, black shirt, black shorts.
OK. Awesome.
Thanks, mate. Bye-bye.
Pink shorts. Long hair. Covered in tats. With another man. Who else?
Seems pretty legit to me. GRAEME: Oh, yeah.
Can't imagine Healesville has too many people in pink shorts.
We've had a tip-off.
He's given very good detail of Luke and Ben
that he wouldn't have otherwise wise known.
We've seen it previously with Luke in Moorabbin running in pink shorts.
Let's go.
So, the difficulty for us at this point
is pinpointing where they went in that area.
CCTV - could we look at opportunities in the main street?
Yep.
We are literally on top of Luke and Ben.
This time they will not get away.
LUKE: I can see caravans!
BEN: Yay!
Oh, it says 'open'.
Yes! Oh, my God.
CONCIERGE: Hi. How're you going? Good. How are you?
Good, thank you. Hello!
We've just hiked in from the main street of town.
We do now. We had no other option.
(ALL LAUGH)
Do you have any camping or accommodation options tonight?
Yes. Awesome.
Thank you. You're welcome! Enjoy!
Go and relax. We will.
Thank you. 70 acres.
OK. Thank you. Sounds so good.
Thank you so much.
No problem! No worries!
Oh, 234. Here!
Alright, open her up, darl'.
Oh, we have a kitchen!
Oh, my God, it's a king-size bed. Oh, my God, it is.
It actually is a king-size bed.
(GASPS) A full-length mirror!
BEN: CCTV - that's all in, right? GRAEME: Yeah.
It's such a small area.
I'd literally drop everything for Luke and Ben right now.
That tip-off from the informant
is the hottest lead we've had on Luke and Ben for days at this point.
We've got nothing back on that CCTV
from the Shell service station in Healesville.
REECE: Let's keep working on it.
We need to work as fast as we possibly can.
The pressure is well and truly on.
Ben? Yep?
We've got some CCTV from Healesville today.
I'll send it through now. Thank you very much.
We'll pop it up on the big screen.
Maybe they're still there.
(GASPS)
Oh, they're still in the same place. Pink shorts.
They are very relaxed. Have a look at them.
Yeah, 100%.
So, as far as we know, they're still there.
I think we deploy both Alpha and Delta into Healesville.
Yeah. Roger, mate. Let's get on to it.
This is great information for us, and we need to act on it fast.
Yeah, Alpha, Delta,
we've got positive identification of Fugitives Luke and Ben
in the Healesville area.
Wow.
My advice to Luke is to perhaps do some washing
because them pink shorts have been seen hundreds of times
and it will be his downfall.
I'd literally drop everything for Luke and Ben right now.
NARRATOR: After discovering CCTV
of Luke and Ben walking the streets of Healesville...
(GASPS)
Oh, they're still in the same clothes.
They are very relaxed. Have a look at them.
Yeah, 100%.
..HQ have upped the hunt on the capture of Luke and Ben
as priority number one.
I think we deploy both Alpha and Delta into Healesville.
They're an hour 20 away, but Alpha's 20 minutes away.
Yeah. Roger, mate. Let's get on to it.
Yeah, Alpha, Delta, we've got positive identification
of Fugitives Luke and Ben in the Healesville area.
Wow. Oh, yeah!
If you can make best speed into Healesville,
and we'll hopefully
have some more locations and direction of travel for you.
Yeah. Alpha. Good copy.
KELLIE: (OVER RADIO) Kell received.
Stand by for further. Out.
BEN: Absolutely stunning. LUKE: So good.
Probably the best view, I reckon.
I'm ecstatic to have this cabin for the night.
We have a roof over our head.
There's a laundry here.
Alright, I'm gonna start washing this.
OK. And then we can pop it in.
I want to get this chewing gum off my bum.
I have no idea what's going on.
To be honest, I don't really do laundry.
I'm gonna put my hand up, I don't. Luke does all the laundry.
Yeah, I do.
You know that feeling when you jump into bed
and it's, like, all fresh sheets, but clean linen, clean pillowcases,
everything's fresh.
Your husband did it while you were at work.
Yeah. (LAUGHS) (LAUGHS)
That feeling is what I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning.
Healesville? Where would you hide in Healesville?
I feel like we're so close, man.
REECE: Team, you got an update?
BEN: We've got Alpha in Healesville.
We're still looking at CCTV opportunities.
Yep. We've done the buses.
We've done all of Maroondah Highway. That's come back negative.
There's no trains.
Well, it's quite late in the day,
so, I think we need to start looking at bed-down locations
in the way of Booking.com, Airbnb
anywhere that looks cheap,
maybe even, like, a caravan.
KARLA: So, there's a Big4 Yarra Valley Park
and then Badger Creek Holiday Park.
Yeah. And then there was one called the Enclave.
Good.
Carter, could you look at camera opportunities
at Enclave and the Big4?
CARTER: Yeah. Awesome.
And, in the meantime, I wanna get Alpha down here
to start tracking these now.
(BIRDS TWITTER)
It's almost dusk.
Almost. Not dusk yet.
It's actually really beautiful, isn't it, around here?
Let's catch some sun.
(CHUCKLES)
(GROANS)
Having sighted them in town on CCTV...
Could be anywhere around here.
Keep your eyes peeled, mate. Roger, mate.
..Ground Hunter Team Alpha is going site to site...
Where are we hitting first? Enclave, mate.
..to every cheap accommodation option in the area...
Oh, closed.
(EXHALES HEAVILY)
HQ, this is Alpha.
No, sign of the Fugitive pair. Over.
..while HQ comb through CCTV.
It's almost sundown. My worry is that the trail goes cold here.
REECE: It's not over yet. Keep on it.
And their hard work...
Ben? Yeah?
..finally pays off.
We've got some CCTV from Healesville Big4 today.
I'll pop it up on the screen.
That's music to my ears. Thank you.
This is from the Big4.
Ohh!
(APPLAUSE) Yep!
Game's on!
(CHEERING)
VIKKI: Oh, my God, I've got goosebumps.
Yeah, goosies. I know! I want them, I want them.
What time was that, Desi?
6:01.
Right. Jesus.
REECE: Good work!
(OVER RADIO) Stand by, guys.
We have a positive identification on CCTV
at the Big4 Yarra Valley Park.
(CHORTLES) Yes!
This was at 1801.
1801. BOTH: Oh!
So, about an hour and 20 minutes ago.
Let's hope they're just setting up a little camp.
Take a tactical pause and wait until we have all assets.
Yeah. Alpha. That's a good copy all.
Our ETA - three minutes to the Big4 caravan park. Over.
HQ, Delta. Our ETA's 19 minutes.
GRAEME: Oh, 20 minutes out.
BEN: We need to look on the map.
It's big.
With the caravan park spanning 10 times the size of the rural property
Fugitives Luke and Ben previously made a narrow escape from...
People are running. Oh, my God. They're here. They're here.
The Hunters are here. Quick.
We're in. We're still in.
..and with the sun setting...
Trying to protect me from the mosquitoes.
..the Hunters consider a different strategy this time around.
Given the time, Ben, do we deploy the K-9
and put the infrared drone up?
Go for the heat signal.
BEN: That's perfect.
That's our tactical advantage, isn't it? Dogs and drones.
(OVER RADIO) Alpha, Delta. HQ.
Alpha send. I'm co-located with Delta now.
It's quite a large piece of ground to cover,
so, I'm keen to get both units going at the same time
to have the drone overhead.
If they do run into the bushland, we can have sight of that.
And also the K-9 to track.
I am not afraid to throw the kitchen sink at it.
Let's get Luke and Ben in the bag.
That would be a fantastic end to the day.
(OVER RADIO) ETA for drone 20 minutes. Over.
All received. Thank you very much.
With the caravan park spanning 70 acres
and surrounded by dense bushland,
Teams Alpha and Delta are maintaining their position 600 metres up the road
to rendezvous with the specialised Hunter drone team...
How are you, mate? Good to see you.
..along with scent-tracking canine, Chopper.
There is not one thing here that can go wrong.
Luke and Ben have been an emotional roller-coaster for us.
More on the downs than ups, I can tell you that now.
But this is where it changes.
This is Operation Kitchen Sink.
We will catch them if it kills us.
Release the hounds.
HQ, Alpha. We're good to go.
(OVER RADIO) Perfect.
REECE: OK, team, we've got two call signs.
We've got Alpha and Delta on site
with Chopper the dog.
Obviously, with the drone overhead,
they're gonna conduct their sweep north through the campsite,
down through the south, south-east.
We're gonna squeeze the Fugitives in location
so they have nowhere to move.
Yes, Chief. Roger, Chief.
Let's do it. Go get 'em!
Alpha.
Alpha out.
Let's go, guys.
Any last-minute wees, probably now time to go. (CHUCKLES)
(CHUCKLES)
Luke and Ben -
they've gotten to a point where they've pissed us off that much
that I've got every Hunter resource on their trail.
Let's go, team. Let's go!
It's night-time,
so, this type of hunt, it is very challenging to execute.
But we have the scent-trackers.
(CHOPPER GROANS) MARCO: Go get some Fugitives, mate.
We have the night vision.
That is drone launching now.
(DRONE BUZZES)
We own the sky.
(DRONE BUZZES)
HQ, that's Sparrow-1 airborne.
And I have eyes on the campsite.
Luke and Ben were able to evade us once.
It's not gonna happen again.
HQ, vehicles are moving toward the entrance of the Big4. Over.
Brilliant.
Capture pants are on.
Capture pants are deployed.
And you know what? We've got the whole park to go and enjoy as well.
There's literally a river there.
Yeah, that's where our... I think our cabin looks over it.
Meryl Streep?
(CHUCKLES) I love ya.
(BOTH LAUGH)
(OVER RADIO) OK, vehicles moving.
NARRATOR: Operation Kitchen Sink is a go.
What have we got around that area, team? What have we got?
With Ground Hunter Blue stationed at base camp
with the drone team relaying comms to HQ...
I now have eyes on Hunter team.
HQ: Come on. Come on. HQ: Come on, Alpha!
..Ground Hunter Marco and Team Delta are on foot inside the park.
MARCO: (OVER RADIO) We're in a packet of three with Chopper.
Yeah, awesome, team. Tactical battle over to you, guys.
EMMA: They're not getting away from us again!
No way. No way!
They've got no idea we are this close.
(OVER RADIO) You got this, Delta.
(QUIETLY) OK. Let's go.
(DRONE BUZZES)
(CHOPPER SNIFFS)
BLUE: At this stage gauging atmospherics.
I'm gonna indicate any human movement around these cabins. Over.
BEN: (OVER RADIO) We're on for this, guys. We are on.
(DRONE BUZZES)
Can you hear that? A drone? (CHUCKLES)
Imagine if they sent the dogs in here.
(LAUGHS)
Oh! See? Look.
I wonder what it's doing out so late.
We've got neighbours. Should we talk to them?
G'day.
Oh, yeah. We just saw one, actually. We just saw a huge possum, actually.
Have a good night.
There's people. Lovely.
While Luke and Ben make friends with the local campers...
(PHONE CHIMES)
..one of their new neighbours has messaged the Hunted tip line.
GRAEME: This contact won't give up, Ben,
saying, "I know where the two guys are.
"I've literally just talked to them.
"I'm staying at the Big4 caravan park in Healesville."
Ooh!
REECE: Simpf, get on the phones to these guys.
(PHONE LINE RINGS)
Hey. You're talking with Graeme. What's your name?
Thanks for calling.
So, where exactly did you last see them?
OK. Literally a couple of minutes ago?
So, you don't know exactly where they're putting their head down in a tent or in a cabin?
If you see them again, can you ring me back?
Alright, mate.
47.
Following the recent tip line sighting of the Fugitives,
the infrared drone repositions for visual confirmation
while the Ground Hunters stand by for the green light
to move in for an ambush.
Is this... Where's our cabin? Up here on the left.
Oh, I thought that was ours.
Maybe that is ours.
Yeah, that is. 234.
Yeah, I thought it was.
(DRONE BUZZES)
Sounds like a drone.
I was just gonna say, can you hear that?
Yeah.
Can you see it? No.
VIKKI: There's someone on the ground there.
Two people going towards that... Yeah, there's two people there.
Yeah. That's movement. That's not normal movement.
BLUE: (OVER RADIO) OK, I've got a thermal image and two people,
two people moving into that closest building near the jetty.
Good job, Blue.
Marco, I think we're gonna need to move pretty swiftly here.
That drone's been overhead for a while.
Yes. Come on.
(DRONE BUZZES)
BEN: It does sound like a drone, doesn't it?
(DRONE BUZZES)
I mean, how would they know we're here?
(DRONE BUZZES)
That's definitely a drone literally flying directly over us.
Come on. Go get the bags and we'll go hide, take cover.
Make sure we take the money.
Got it!
Hearing some drone activity,
so, we're just gonna take cover
to make sure we haven't been tracked to here.
I mean, it's a mixture of...
..both caution and concern, I would say.
Let's go hide out, make ourselves difficult to be found.
Yep.
(CHOPPER SNIFFS) (QUIETLY) Go, boy. Go find them.
What's our plan if they converge on us here?
It IS the Hunters and there's a drone going.
That means they're close by and they've got Ground Hunter crews.
Should we go hide in the bush or should we take cover in a building?
I haven't come this far not to make it.
Hard to be seen in a building.
True.
Stop there!
(INDISTINCT YELLING)
(CHOPPER BARKS)
VOICEOVER:
with full episodes on 10Play.
BEN: What's our plan if they converge on us here?
I haven't come this far not to make it.
MARCO: HQ, Alpha moving into position.
Should we go hide in the bush or should we take cover in a building?
Hard to be seen in a building.
True.
Stop there!
(INDISTINCT YELLING)
(CHOPPER BARKS)
They're running this way!
(CHEERING)
Let's get them!
(CHOPPER BARKS)
Ben, stop there!
(CHOPPER BARKS)
Come on, Chopper!
(CHOPPER BARKS) Go! Go!
(CHOPPER BARKS)
We've lost him. Where is he?
Come on.
(CHOPPER BARKS)
Ben, stop there!
Keep going, Chop!
Go!
Stop there!
(CHOPPER BARKS)
Your time on the run is over. You have been hunted down.
(BARKS) Good boy.
Confirm. I've got Ben.
(CHEERING)
Awesome stuff! Awesome stuff!
Whoo!
One more. Let's get Luke. (CHEERING)
Keep hunting! Keep hunting!
(LAUGHS)
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
They got Luke yet? Not yet.
He's still running.
Well done. Go, boy.
HQ receive. Good work. Good work.
Just make sure he's not got the cash.
If he's got the cash, we'll keep the cash.
Have you got the cash on you, mate?
Uh-uh. (CHUCKLES)
(OVER RADIO) That's a negative.
Roger.
It doesn't really matter 'cause we're gonna catch him tonight.
Yeah, we're gonna catch him.
(CHOPPER BARKS)
They're clever, the Hunters. They got me.
But I'm super proud of Luke.
He's strong. He's clever.
He will make them run to the very last moment
and, you know, win over $100,000.
Go with grace, Lukey,
right to the very end.
Good boy, Chop-Chop. (WHINES)
(CHOPPER BARKS)
As Ground Hunter Marco and his trusted canine, Chopper,
remain with the recently captured Ben...
EMMA: Do you see anything there, Kell?
KELLIE: Nuh.
..Team Delta continue to sweep the park for any sign of Fugitive Luke...
He's pretty fast.
Alright, Alpha, have you got eyes on Luke?
..with Blue and the drone crew conducting surveillance from the sky.
(DRONE BUZZES)
BLUE: (OVER RADIO) All call signs,
at this stage nil movement to the north in amongst the buildings.
So, now we suspect Luke has moved out on foot to the south,
and he's hiding amongst that creek line.
Copy.
Kell, Blue, received. Moving towards the creek line.
(DRONE BUZZES)
He'll be down the creek line for sure.
Right on the creek line. Yeah.
He's hearing the drone, so, he's got to lay down.
He's got to lay down and go dark.
He's not gonna think we've got thermal.
Yeah. Good luck with that.
(OVER RADIO) Delta, this is Blue. Confirm your position on the ground.
(OVER RADIO) Right on that creek line, Blue.
We can nearly dip our toes in the water,
right at the end of the park.
We'll get a thermal in there now.
Roger that.
Come on, girls.
I think the grasses are pushed down a bit down here, Kell,
like footsteps.
KELLIE: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Looks like the grass has gone flat.
Em, I think we're in the right possie.
Come out, Luke!
No point in running anymore!
He's laying low, Em. Yeah.
No point in running, Luke!
OK, Delta, at this stage we have good observation through thermal.
Nil movement just yet. We could...
What's that? What's that? What's that?
Look at that there.
There. Where? What's that?
Yes. Look at this. Yeah!
That's him. He's hiding. He's hiding there. He's lying doggo.
Confirm, confirm.
The drone has a lock on
for someone hiding in the shrub line there, guys.
Yes. Where? Luke, you've been spotted!
I might go get closer. Yep.
(FOLIAGE RUSTLES)
Oh!
Come out, Luke!
(OVER RADIO) I hear noises where I am over in the creek line.
Let's go, Kell. Come on, Delta.
Tell him we can do this all night.
(FOLIAGE RUSTLES)
How're you looking there, Kells? Did you hear it?
That was definitely him. He's in here somewhere.
Blue, Delta, get ready with that spotlight.
He's definitely here. Yep.
Game's over!
A wombat!
Is it a wombat?
Yeah!
That might have been what I heard.
HQ, Delta.
That's a negative on Luke. It was just an animal.
Come on.
Right. No, that's fine. That's fine.
Bloody animals getting in the way.
Good copy.
(CHUCKLES)
This is pretty good that they're still looking for Luke.
He's up against it.
If he gets out of this, his bloody new nickname's Harry Houdini.
Let's just wait and see.
You want to come out before the canine!
(CHOPPER BARKS)
Any sign of Luke yet, guys?
KELLIE: (OVER RADIO) Negative. Roger.
Nothing seen on the drone either?
(DRONE BUZZES)
BLUE: At this stage nil human movement.
NARRATOR: As frustrations continue to build at HQ...
(CHOPPER BARKS)
..23 minutes after his husband, Ben's, capture...
..hairdresser Luke continues to evade the multiple Hunters on the ground
in the 70-acre caravan park.
(SIGHS)
So, they still haven't got Luke?
(GROWLS) That's pretty good.
Yeah, he could still make it out.
We've got another drone coming over the top.
Just up here.
(DRONE BUZZES)
But I'm not worried.
Go. Go with grace, my darling.
Don't give up.
Keep moving.
Just keep swimmin'.
(DRONE BUZZES)
BLUE: Where is he?
Do not get away.
GRAEME: Good call.
Guys, can we please get someone to reception as soon as possible?
MARCO: (OVER RADIO) Yeah. Alpha. Good copy.
I could use the dog to clear that area too.
Alright, let's get K-9 Chopper going in there.
(WHINES)
My Hunter force works well under pressure.
And then bringing Chopper the dog in.
He's a scent-tracker.
So, once he picks up the scent, there's no getting away from him.
Yeah, go for it. Anything in and out doesn't pass through you, mate.
Copy all, Ben.
(YAPS) Yes!
Having a dog bark in front of you -
that can force the Fugitives out of a hiding spot.
That's a massive advantage for us.
HQ, Alpha. We've co-located at the entrance to the caravan park
with Chopper.
Come on, let's do this.
You can be hiding in a hole, but everyone's scared of a wild dog.
(GROWLS)
(QUIETLY) Go, boy. Go find him.
(CHOPPER SNIFFS) (QUIETLY) OK, come on, boy.
Go find him. (CHOPPER SNIFFS)
Let's go. Go find him.
(WHINES)
What's that, Chopper?
(YAPS)
OK. Good boy.
OK.
(BARKS)
Stop there!
(CHOPPER BARKS)
Blue, go! Blue! Moving!
BLUE: We've got a runner! We've got a runner!
(BARKS)
(LUKE LAUGHS)
(BARKS) Catch me if you can!
