was convicted of murdering his wife...

and the attempted murder

of a Red Hill police officer in 1995.

Conway was sentenced to life in prison.

The police are urging the public to not approach the man,

as he is considered armed and dangerous.

Thanks very much, Debbie,

and we will be giving you all the updates

on the story as they come in.

What kind of animal is capable

of such a thing?

It scares me to ponder.

Certainly isn't from anything local.

When I was a kid...

My father swore he had seen

a panther up in them hills.

Some of the locals claim

they had seen the same thing.

How the hell does a panther

end up roaming high country Australia?

Travelling circus, so the story goes.

Apparently two of the bastards

escaped from the show in 1880.

And one of them was pregnant.

Lucky for us, Panthers don't breed like rabbits.

I seen you ride in on that horse.

Did Manning put you up to it?

That man

was born a bastard.

Just look where you want to go...

and the horse will follow.

Ahem. Ahem.

Come on.

Dural Conway, also known as Jimmy

is approximately 175 cm tall...

of Aboriginal descent, and of

median build with short brown hair.

He can be recognized

by the distinct burn scars...

along the left hand side

of his face and upper body.

Officials have now confirmed...

that the explosion was caused

by the detonation of a gas line...

leading through the prison wall.

Did they know how the inmate

was able to get into the gas line?

Yes Richard, following the discovery of

a 3m hole dug into solid concrete.

Prison officers now believe...

Prison officials are greatly concerned

for the whereabouts of the suspect...

Barlow?

What's going on?

Do we have a history of his previous arrests?

Indeed, Richard.

Convicted of murdering his wife...

and the attempted murder of a

Red Hill police officer in 1995...

Conway was sentenced...

Old Bill's the one who put him away.

Police are urging the public not to approach the man...

as he is considered armed and dangerous.

Now we all here.

Alright, here is what we know.

Approximately 9 AM today...

Jimmy Conway break out of the

Maximum Security Prison at Western Bay.

45 minutes later, he was spotted

stealing a white 86 Falcon...

Registration MKC-489...

from a BP service station in Jackson.

Alright, now...

From Jackson, it's about a six-hour haul to Red Hill.

So that gives us exactly two hours

to lock this town down.

Manning, you'll take the freeway exit.

Rex, you'll cover the hard country bypass

in case he takes the scenic route.

My bet is he's gonna try and flank us...

so I'm gonna cover Alpine Drive.

So Dale, you ride with me...

and Willy, you ride with Manning.

Now, Barlow.

I want you here to monitor the wire.

Alright, you'll feed us if there are any updates.

And you put out a storm warning.

There's a big one hitting our way tonight,

so keep everyone indoors.

Right. Earl, Slim, Ted.

I want you to secure up Main Street.

Earl, you good with the scope,

so make sure you get a good vantage point.

Kenny.

You stay with Barlow and secure the station,

because if he strikes,

this will be the first place he hits.

What's funny?

A bit overkill, Billy?

Jimmy Conway...

was the best bromley tracker

this town ever had.

You'll hold your positions and you'll be armed

at all times. You understand?

Any questions?

What about Gleason?

No, we'll leave him out of this one.

What's he gonna do,

throw his walking cane?

I'd like to know who's gonna

cover Skins Creek Road.

Jimmy won't take Skins Creek Road.

What makes you so sure?

Cause I know the way he moves.

He'll be after the

smallest track with the most cover.

Maybe he thinks you are thinking that...

so maybe he'll do something different.

No harm posting a man for a piece of mourn, Billy.

Cooper.

You'll cover Skins Creek Road.

Yes, sir.

"Yes, sir."

Everybody armed?

Slim, you need one, right?

Nobody leaves here without a weapon.

That includes you too, Constable.

Give him something.

Alright, the radios.

I want everyone to tune into channel four.

If the sh*t hits the van...

We'll stay off the wire and regroup

at Earl's barn. And listen!

We all know

what we're dealing with here.

If Jimmy Conway rides into this town,

he'll be bringing hell with him.

Shoot to kill.

Alright, you heard the man.

Move out.

Inspector?

Listen, I don't want to cause

any unnecessary stress, but I just came...

from Gleason's Property

and he seems to think there's

a Panther roaming the area.

Jesus, Cooper.

This in Australia, mate.

Not f***ing Africa.

Adonis? Adonis.

Luca. Luca.

Hey, honey.

Howdy, sheriff.

How's your first day?

You know, working hard.

I bet you are.

You are never gonna guess

where I found your gun.

It was tucked under the towels...

Good to know. Listen honey,

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Okay, I love you.

Love you too. Bye.

How are we doing today?

Attention all positions.

We have just received word

that Conway's getaway vehicle

has been found

abandoned in Winston.

Please, please

put the gun down.

Nobody needs to get hurt, okay?

Putting it down, you see.

You gotta let them go.

You want this?

I'm gonna put it down slowly.

Nice and easy. There you go.

Okay.

You gotta let them go now.

You don't need them.

Take it easy.

Easy.

Radio Check. Come in, Cooper. Over.

Radio Check. Come in, Cooper. Over.

Cooper, you there?

Bill... look...

I don't want you to start sweating, but...

we've lost contact with Cooper.

Jimmy. Mate...

look, there's no need...

No...

Barlow, come in, over.

Barlow, come in, over.

Barlow, come in.

Barlow, answer your radio.

Goddamn it, Barlow,

answer your f***ing radio.

No!

Wait!

Well, after he pulled

down the relay tower...

he softened off the tank

and legged it.

Did he say anything?

No.

Which way did he go?

Headed to town, I suppose.

F***.

It's him, Billy...

It's f***ing him.

Has he seen you?

I don't know.

Stay where you are.

Manning and I are on our way back.

Rex, you copy that?

I'm moving, I'll be there in ten.

Hold your positions

and stay off the wire.

Please...

I'll give you anything.

Tell me what you want.

Police!

Hello!

Please don't kill me.

I don't want anybody

to get hurt, Jimmy.

I promise you, Jimmy.

Please don't kill me, Jimmy.

You black bastard.

Jimmy.

Please Jimmy.

Jimmy, Jimmy, please, Jimmy.

Please, Jimmy. No.

Jimmy.

Please, Jimmy, no, no.

Jimmy, no, Jimmy.

I'm watching them now, Bill.

You are not gonna believe this, man.

He shot him, he shot Slim.

He just shot him man.

Rex, I told you

to stay off the f***ing wire.

Jimmy

Sh*t.

Hey.

I'm gonna die.

Don't say that.

I'm going to hell.

I know it.

You'll be okay.

What do you think he's doing?

He's waiting for us.

You call flanking him, Bill?

What do you wanna do?

We're moving... on foot.

What's happening?

No. .. no... no...

Easy, easy!

It's me. It's me, Shane.

Barlow. Where's Bill?

He's killing us all...

Where is Bill?

I don't know!
