Let's have a look at this.

What is that?

Interference or something, isn't it?

Pixellated.

What happened?

The chicken's gone but the camera's

playing up, so I can't see...

What's that? Go back.

Go back, that side.

- What is that?

- The corner, the corner.

There, there you go, there.

- You see that?

- Yeah.

What's that?

What is it, Adi?

Very strange.

It's just gone really quiet.

Strange things.

- Did you hear that?

- Yeah, yeah.

Could be leopard.

Got your torch?

- Yeah, mate.

- All set?

Got night vision?

Can you see it?

No. But it sound like leopard.

That's what I thought.

Here.

A real live leopard out here!

What's that sound?

Is it another leopard?

Maybe.

That's leopard.

Give me the gun!

Follow me.

Stay close.

Okay, stay behind me.

We should split up.

Ben and Adi, you're going that way.

Bootie, we'll go this way.

- You sure about this?

- Yes, yes, yes.

Make sure you can see our torches.

Ben, this way.

Ben?

- Yeah?

- I don't like this.

No, it's okay, it's okay.

Where they go?

I don't know.

There.

There they are, just there.

Ben, this is bad!

Gonna go back,

we're gonna get lost if we go this way.

No, no, it's okay.

You're leaving a trail.

Adi, are you leaving a trail?

Yeah, yeah, I did,

but we still need to go back, Ben.

No, just a bit further, mate,

come on, come on.

What was that?

Over here!

- Are you alright?

- Yeah, I'm okay.

Calm down.

- Let's get out of here!

- Oh sh*t!

Larry, come on.

Calm down, mate.

What is it?

- What was it?

- I don't know, I was, I was holding on.

- I think I got it.

- Let's take a look at the card.

Take a breath.

- You okay? Are you hurt?

- Adi's gotta get out of here, mate.

- Gotta get out.

- Let's just, give us a look at the tape.

We've gotta go check it out, guys.

You just saw the footage.

What is it?

It's just an animal.

We don't know what it is, but...

- No, no, I don't think we should.

- There's four of us, we've got a gun,

- and we'll be fine. Let's...

- Not a good idea.

Larry, let's go.

Yeah?

Alright.

We've gotta go check this out.

Okay, be quiet.

We need to go back.

We're gonna need to go back now,

before we get lost.

Come on!

Be quiet.

You be quiet.

I'm going.

I'm leaving now,

with or without you.

- Larry, maybe it's just an animal.

- Come on.

Adi's right,

we don't want to get lost.

We should just,

right now, we're going.

Come.

Come on.

Come on, Larry.

Come on.

Let's go back

and check the remote camera.

See if we've got anything.

Come on, mate.

We've gotta go.

So close.

Alright, here we go.

Bushes.

Whoa!

Yeah, look at that!

Whoa!

See, Bootie, we did it, we did it!

Wow!

- Bloody hell, Bennie!

- Hey, look at that!

Look at that!

The real live Javan leopard.

Yeah, oh wow.

Look at that.

Ben, come to me, come to me.

So we've been, we've been very lucky,

very lucky tonight.

This, this is the evidence

we've been looking for.

This is,

this is the... this is what we want.

We did it.

We did it boys, well done!

- You happy, Larry, yeah?

- I can't believe it.

Right then, for card six,

it's ah, it's a beautiful morning.

So good to have Larry back.

You know, he's up, he's positive.

He's really back on board. It's great.

I think today's gonna go well.

Sun's just up.

Sightings last night were very exciting,

so we're going to stay in the area today

and see what we can find.

The remote camera has packed it in.

It's not um, it's not taking video,

but it's taking photos still.

Adi? You alright?

No, Ben, I'm not.

We shouldn't be going this way.

It's bad.

He's seen a leopard.

He's not gonna turn back now.

I'm not going on, unless I can leave.

F***!

Why should I let him leave?

It's what he's here for.

This way.

Should still be in the area.

Got anything, Adi?

Adi.

- Adi, what's going on, mate?

- Keep going this way.

You sure?

Dead end.

Sh*t.

Adi?

- Yeah.

- We should be heading north.

I'm telling you,

it's back this way, mate.

This way.

Yeah, this way.

North in other words.

- F***!

- Oh guy.

Just hold on.

Hold on.

I reckon he's trying to get us

lost on purpose.

Feels like he's just taking us

round in circles.

Mate, you're the one

who told me to let him lead.

Adi?

- Adi? Come here.

- Let's move.

No, come here.

- This is crazy.

- Come on, Adi.

- Come on Larry. Gotta go.

- What now, it's getting late.

Can we just move?

No, look, we've tried going this way.

There's nothing down here, mate. Let's...

A little, little bit more, mate,

- This is north, this way is north,

there's a creek up ahead.

It's not far. If we find it,

- get through it.

- A creek is up that way.

Mate, says here on the map

it's due north, directly that way.

- We get to the creek.

- Sun is that way, then north is that way.

F***'s sake, Adi!

Adi, we're going.

Come on!

Gonna be a [inaudible], Larry.

Well, we found the creek.

The water.

What are they?

Birds of prey.

Wonder what they're circling.

Gotta fix, I reckon. Let's go.

Bird circling, suggested kill.

If it's fresh the predator

might still be around.

Had a bit of rain, so it's a bit muddy.

Watch your step.

Can you see anything?

No.

Adi's found something.

Drag marks.

Something big and very heavy.

Very wide.

It's fresh.

Could be still around, guys.

Watch your step.

Something in the tree up ahead.

Trails.

It's fresh.

Bone.

Big bone.

What is it?

What's that?

Bone.

You see anything else?

Larry?

What is that?

What is it?

Can you see that?

It's a hand!

- God! That's, that's disgusting!

- What happened?

It's a hand!

It's a f***ing hand!

We've gotta go back.

Probably a poacher.

Well, doesn't matter who it is!

We've gotta go back and report it.

That's right.

- Yes, come on.

- So listen,

- right now...

- It's a f***ing hand!

...a lot of the time it'll take to go back.

- But right now.

- We've gotta go back, Larry!

There are two leopards,

very rare leopards somewhere out there.

- But it's a human hand; Yt means there's...

- We have to find them.

- We have to tag them.

- Somewhere out there is a f***ing body!

We've gotta go back and report it!

No, no, no, I'm not

saying we don't report it.

- Yeah, we report that, but...

- Well I'm saying that we've gotta go back

- and tell the police.

- We just stay a little, little bit longer.

No! No! No!

We turn back now, Larry.

- This is bullshit, okay, this is...

- Come on, mate.

You remember that sh*t we went through

to get this thing together? How much,

how much we had to...

- How much work we've had to do.

- No!

- To get this thing happening!

- I know what it means to you, okay.

But we have to go back.

We have to go back.

This is serious.

Larry, we've got to go back.

Ben's right.

There's not going

to be anything left of that

- by the time we get back.

- Come on, Larry.

Ben!

Ben!

- F***!

- I'm going.

F***!

F***ing hell!

F***ing poacher!

Turn the f***ing camera off, mate!

The f***ing...

Just calm down, will you?
