Dying Breed Page #3

Synopsis: Dying Breed interweaves the two most fascinating icons of Tasmanian history: the extinct Tasmanian tiger and "The Pieman" (aka Alexander Pearce) who was hanged for cannibalism in 1824. Against all odds, Pearce escaped from the most feared penal settlement of the British Empire - Sarah Island - and disappeared into the impenetrable forests of Western Tasmania. Seven convicts escaped with him, yet Pearce was the only one that emerged... along with chunks of human flesh in his pockets. The legend of Pearce was born. An extinct species... a long forgotten legend... both had a desperate need to survive; both could now have living descendants within the Tasmanian bush. Many sightings of the tiger have been reported. Many hikers have gone missing. Hundreds in fact. Zoologist Nina is convinced there are still tigers remaining in the Tasmanian wilderness, and she has proof - a photograph of a paw print snapped by her sister just before she met with a fatal accident in the bush eight years befor

Jack, I'm not sleeping in a cave.

Jack.

Jack, you're not listening to me.

I'm not going in there.

Come on.

Come on, babe!

There is no way I'm

going in that cave, Jack.

Yeah. Dry enough.

It's good for me.

I'm sleeping in the cave. Okay.

Wait for me. Sh*t.

Sh*t!

Yes!

You f***in' idiot.

Jack, what the hell is wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

There's no law against popping rabbits.

I mean, they're pests.

You hunt extinct dogs,

and I'll hunt rabbits.

You know, I came here to have fun.

Wow.

That's very impressive, Jack.

You know, I thought apes

like you were extinct.

You know, I came here

because Matt asked me

to help him help you.

Do I hear any thanks for that?

Nah. All I hear is your

selfish, whining tantrums.

You know what?

We're really sick of it.

Then thank you, Jack.

Couldn't have done it without you.

Yeah!

Rabbit season!

That's disgusting.

Where do you think the stew comes

from? I mean, you are a carnivore, babe.

Not anymore.

What is... That's crap, isn't it?

Mm-hmm.

So he's gone primal and

you're collecting crap.

It's a very different

kind of holiday for me.

Oh, hey, Bec?

That's so disgusting!

Put it down. That side's still furry.

Bind her legs! Bind her legs!

Come on now. Kids love to kick.

Katie?

Katie?

Where is she?

Think! Think!

- It doesn't have to be...

- Then where is she?

It's the smell of them.

It's everywhere since they arrived.

I don't want to lose the child.

Find her.

There's something out

there, in the trees.

Look. There.

There was something here.

Sh*t.

It stopped.

My camera.

Yeah. Go.

Hey.

There's a tiger out there,

right outside the cave.

Yeah, right.

Are you serious?

Very.

Where is it?

It went back into the bush.

We need a picture.

What? You didn't get a picture?

We can still get one if we go after it.

It's worth a try.

You wanna go?

Did I miss it?

- I can't believe you didn't get a picture.

- Well, we didn't. All right, Jack?

Let's try and fix that.

Yes. Let's just hurry up because

I'm freezin' my tits off out here.

Nina! How big is it?

It's small, isn't it?

I can handle that.

Here, doggie, doggie.

Nina!

- Matt!

- Sorry.

Sorry.

Found anything?

Not yet.

Oh. This way.

Stuff this.

What are you doing here?

Are you lost? Are you okay?

All right.

Okay, I think you better come with me.

All right? Who's that?

Do you mind?

Do you mind not shining that light in...

- Anything?

- Sure you even saw it?

I saw it.

I saw it, Jack!

Where's Rebecca?

Probably having a pee.

Bec!

Hey, beautiful lady!

Beautiful lady! Bec!

She should be able to

hear us. She can't be far.

Bec!

Babe!

She might have...

I saw a mine shaft earlier.

Where?

It was near where you killed that...

Babe, what have you done to yourself?

I don't know. I...

I don't know. F***.

It's not mine.

F***.

Well, what happened?

It could just be an animal.

- I don't know, Matt.

- Did you see an animal?

- Did you see...

- No! I didn't!

- Hey, come on.

- Jack!

- Show me where.

- What?

- Show me!

- I don't... I don't know!

I started there, and I

circled around, I guess.

I heard some sounds.

What sounds?

- What sounds?

- I don't know!

Bec!

Jack! F***.

Hey, hey. Nina!

Just stay here. Stay here.

Bec!

Bec!

Bec! Babe!

Can't see a thing out there.

It's like the bloody Amazon.

Where's Jack?

I have no idea.

I did this.

I pushed for this.

- Don't be ridiculous.

- It was my f***ing trip.

We don't know what's happened.

I'll go and look again, okay?

I'll try again.

How the hell did she get there?

Hi, there. Remember me?

What happened to you?

Are you hurt?

It's not her blood, either.

Is it, Matt?

It's Mama.

What happened to you? How'd

you get the blood on your dress?

- Can you tell me?

- How the hell would she know?

She's just a kid.

She didn't walk here on her own.

Did you?

Simple Simon met the

pieman playing with a knife.

Said Simple Simon to the pieman...

- That's a nice rhyme, little girl.

- "Will you take my life?"

I need you to tell me what happened.

- Okay? ...when the time is right.

Katie!

Jesus.

We came for the child.

She's okay.

She's okay?

What about us?

Rebecca's disappeared. So has Jack.

And the blood!

Look at her, for God's sake.

- She's covered in it.

- Now, now.

- Get away from me!

- Anything could have happened to her.

The bush is different at night, lad.

There are hundreds of mine shafts.

You must have realized the

dangers before coming here.

It's easy to lose your way.

I'll take them.

She won't be hard to track.

Get your stuff. Get your stuff! Move!

Come on. At least

they're willing to help.

Come on.

Keep close.

Why'd you come here?

You tourist turn up.

You always interfere.

You trample on everything.

You spoil everything.

Tell me where's my sister.

She died here eight years ago.

She stayed for about a

year, looking for your tiger.

That little girl recognized her.

When a b*tch is on heat, she'll

go out of her way to mate.

That's how it is.

Jesus. What kind of stone age...

What are you saying? What

the f*** are you saying?

That that little girl is m...

Jesus Christ.

Who are these people?

I can't go with him.

What else can we do?

He's the only one helping us right now.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, baby.

F***.

Hey! Hey, hey.

Where are you taking us?

You want to find your friend?

It's an old miner's tunnel.

I used to play here when I was a kid.

Like you said, what

else are we going to do?

Wait!

Man trap.

Troopers used to sit 'em

outside the convict camps.

This is as far as I go.

What?

Where are you going?

It'll bring you out on the other side.

Do you trust him?

Stay by me.

Go home.

Stay close to me.

- Watch your step.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- It's okay. Just...

- Slow down, Matt.

Stay in the light.

- Can't see.

- Okay.

- Just step over it.

- I see it.

There's the exit.

Is that Jack?

Jack!

Jack!

Matt! Careful!

Jack!

There he is.

Rowan?

Listen, we don't have to do this.

We don't...

have to live by the rules.

You hear me?

Rowan?

I can't hear anything.

Let's go back.

What do we do now?

Shall we go back?

Where the f*** are they, Matt?

Sh*t. Sh*t.

What's that? What is it?

Jack?

Let's go.

It could be Jack.

Jesus Christ, Jack.

What the f*** have you done?

Wha...

Sh*t.

Matt, can you do something?

Can you pull it out?

What? Pull it...

I don't know.

Here. Hold him. Hold him.

I'll make this as fast as I can, mate.

I can't do it. I can't do it.

- Jack?

- Pull it through.

Huh?

Pull the prick off it.

Do it!

How is he? Has he lost a lot of blood?

I don't know. I'm not a doctor.

Who gives a f*** about him?

What about the blood

on Rebecca's jacket?

Jack, wait up.

Just come back and think

rationally for three seconds.

For Christ's sakes, Jack.

Can you please stay with us?

Matt needs you here.

I need you here.

You don't get it, do you?

Doesn't matter what we do.

It's their turf, and they're watching.
