and I totally respect that.

The way I work is I'm very proactive.

I don't sit and wait

for the animals to come to me.

I go after them. That's what I want to do.

Are you gonna come with us?

Or are you gonna stay here? That's all

I want to ask-that's all I want to know.

Fine. Okay.

- Okay, Larry.

- If that's what you want to do, do it.

- Okay.

- We good?

- This no problem. Let's go.

- Yeah?

Okay, great, great.

Want to save the leopards mate.

Good, we'll get our packs,

we'll get going.

Come here.

Don't worry about Larry, mate, just...

- I'm the tracker, Ben.

- Yeah, yeah, just...

He doesn't mean what he says.

Larry's drawn up a grid which we'll use

to work our way through the jungle.

And today we're gonna head north first.

Hot in here.

Yeah, I'm thinking this way is probably.

Also Larry,

- find any track, man?

- Yeah, mate.

My bearings here.

- Find it, the track?

- Yeah, yeah, still looking anyway.

This way is north, so this is the way

we were heading before.

This way Adi, we were heading north before,

let's keep going this way, okay?

- Head north?

- Yeah.

- We'll keep going north and see

what we find. - You sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure. - That is that way,

I think we're going this way.

We all good?

Any track yet, Larry?

Larry?

- Adi?

- Found any track yet?

We're going to keep going north, mate.

Fine.

- How many times have I got to tell you?

- Okay.

- Right?

- Okay.

Fine.

We're in the right place.

You sure we're not lost?

- Ah yeah, I don't get lost.

- Hey, hey, smell that?

Smell that?

- That smells bad.

- Yeah.

- Where do you think it's coming from?

- I think it's coming from round here.

Let's have a look.

Smells disgusting.

Jeez.

Well, wonder what that is.

Looks like it could be...

...a wild boar or a monkey or something.

Something placed...

Hey! Hey you!

- Come on, go!

- Oh f***!

Hey turn back.

Hey, come on.

Oh f***.

What do you reckon?

Bit of a poacher?

Yeah, I dunno.

I didn't see any tracks.

No trail.

Could be anywhere in there.

It's gone.

Alright.

Alright.

Alright.

Let's keep going.

- Just be careful.

- Yeah, let's go.

Let's go this way.

Keep an eye out.

So... you reckon it's poachers?

Yeah.

What do we do if we find them?

Something's just raced off

into the jungle.

They're out there!

Larry!

What's that?

That's black magic stuff.

Sorcerer's stuff.

What's it for?

It's to bring the evil spirit down

to this place.

No, don't touch it.

Come on.

F***!

They're everywhere!

Let's hope they know where they are,

because...

I have no idea.

Fantastic. Fantastic.

That's...

Hey Bennie, looks like we've got,

we've got a stool here,

it's got hair in it.

Looks like it's a big cat.

Looks pretty fresh.

I think it's more likely going that way.

Great!

Larry's decided that we should split up,

so I'm going with Adi;

That way we can cover more ground.

See anything, Adi?

Adi! Adi!

No, nothing.

- Over here!

- Coming, coming!

What you got?

We've got one.

Leopard prints!

Right here.

Look how big they are.

- Man, that's big.

- Quite deep.

This is fantastic. This is exactly...

what we've been looking for.

This is a fully grown leopard.

It's fantastic.

Wow.

- Larry, Larry! Over here!

- Did you get it all?

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah,

down here? Down here.

Look how far apart they are.

They're really.

Obviously wherever

he's going, he's in a rush.

See this squashed foliage,

looks like there's been...

...a skirmish or something.

Keep heading this way.

Get this, this is a trail,

a drag, drag mark.

Probably find a tree with a carcass in it.

It'll be nearby.

- Is that something?

- Hang on, hang on, what's this?

- There's blood.

- Yeah.

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

F***!

Dead leopard.

Look at that!

- Where's the head?

- F***!

- Just a waste.

- Not even a live leopard, dead one.

Nothing left.

Just... and look at it!

F***!

Get in there, have a look at that.

That's...

Yeah, I've got it, mate, I've got it.

What?

What, Bootie?

- Larry, this is no good.

- What?

- We don't think we should stay here.

- What do you mean?

Whatever did this

has killed fully grown leopard.

- Yeah, yeah, it's a serious...

- It's a serious kill.

- Very serious kill.

- Absolutely serious, mate. It means...

...the only two things

that can kill leopards,

they're poachers and other leopards.

This does not look like poachers to me.

So that means there's a bigger,

more dangerous,

more violent leopard out there somewhere.

So what we need to do,

we need to catch it and tag it.

That's our job, mate.

We've gotta catch and tag these things,

so we can save them.

That's what you want to do?

- Okay.

- Yeah?

- Adi.

- You can't tag this.

- What?

- You're not gonna tag...

Why's that, Adi?

Because it's a f***ing werewolf?

Because it's not leopard, Larry.

Oh come on, Adi. This is ridiculous.

It's superstitious crap,

- it's absolutely...

- It's true! It's not superstitious!

It's not It's superstition!

- You you're...

- Hey, you don't know nothing.

Your ancestors told

you this sh*t to keep...

Don't blame my ancestors...

- You're talking like the best stupid man!

- Adi, Adi!

It's all bullshit. It's a f***ing.

You're a, that's what...

You you are...

You're a f***ing coward, mate.

It's not a f***ing werewolf, alright?

How would you know?

- Great, Larry!

- Turn that thing off, Ben.

This is serious, alright.

- Want to stay here, you stay here.

- You said you wanted to come Mate,

stop f***ing filming this, alright?

Calm down, mate.

You stay here.

I will.

I'm going.

F***!

Something has just killed a leopard,

a Javan leopard.

It's an animal that's almost extinct.

And you know, there's a good chance

it'll come back here.

I reckon it'll probably come back here.

It's probably still in the area.

It's getting dark, so I think

we should stay here tonight.

What do you think, Ben?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Bootie?

Bootie?

We have a deal.

Yes, okay.

That was no good.

I think Adi's got a point.

I don't like it here.

What is that?

Oh, it's nothing.

Can I have a look?

What does it do? Protect you

from evil spirits or something?

Bad spirit.

Can I have it back, please?

What's it made out of?

Just some stuff.

What's that?

Could be leopard.

It's getting closer.

Where's my torch? Where's my torch?

Did you hear that?

I think it's this way.

Come on.

There!

Bootie,

Bootie, Bootie!

Wake up, wake up, Bootie!

- What?

- Where's Ben?

- Where's Ben?

- I don't know.

There's something out there.

I saw it, some...

Look, look at that.

Oh did you see that?

Quick, quick, get the gun.

Come on!

- Where the f*** have you been?

- What do you mean?

I was getting a different

angle on the bait.

You f***ing crazy? These animals are

really dangerous, especially at night.

- Do you want to get yourself killed?

- Sorry, sorry.

- You take the collar, I'll take the gun.

- Okay.

The bait's gone!

It's gone!

Hear that?

Let's check the remote.
