0:01:30 > 0:01:32Wait at the bar.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35This is no way to greet an old friend.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37You've kept me waiting here for two weeks.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Christ! It's Paris! See the sights.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45I'm here for work.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48There's a lot of ground to cover.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Difficult terrain, remote, so...
0:01:51 > 0:01:54..they want me to send someone with you.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Two men is a security risk.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05This is an important job. There's no room for mistakes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07So don't make any.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11It must be very nice, William,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13not to need anyone.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20The client is Red Leaf, a military biotech.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24They're after something extremely rare.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28You're to bring back biological samples.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Blood, skin, hair, organs.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38As for the rest, make sure no-one else can ever find it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46What Red Leaf wants is very valuable.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50But only if they have exclusive ownership.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57You're looking for something most believe is extinct.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01The rarest, most elusive creature on the planet.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06The client has evidence it still exists.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09If so, it may be the very last one.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13MUFFLED PA ANNOUNCEMENT
0:04:25 > 0:04:28The client has reports from a reliable source.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Two confirmed sightings in the past year.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39Until now, these sightings have been kept secret.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41But word always gets out.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46We have only a couple of months,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48maybe less.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54After that, there will be competition.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Perhaps there already is.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Hello?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Hey, what are you doing?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58You can't wake her up!
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I'm Martin David, from the university.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Hello, Martin David.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06I'm Sass, he's my brother Bike.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Mum said we should show you to your room.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Come on.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- The bulb's burnt up.- No.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23No fuckin' power.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Excuse me?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27There's a generator. But it's stopped working.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34You going to fix it?
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I've got a lot of equipment. I need power.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Yeah.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41It used to work, then it stopped.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Dad says the fuckin' fuck is completely fucked.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Where's your father?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Gone away, up there.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59He'll be back soon though.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01He'll fix it if you can't.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12There's water in the cold tap.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Oh...and the toilet's outside.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50You right there, mate?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Um, just need to use the restroom.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56You want a drink first?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Right.

0:08:02 > 0:08:03Sure.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25How much to rent a room?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26No vacancies.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Not even one small room?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32All regulars, mate. Live-ins.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33I can pay double.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Pay triple if you want. Same difference.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Hey, you!
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Hey, you!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Do you want a room?- Yeah.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01Thing is, mate...
0:09:01 > 0:09:05we don't really like greenies around here.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08So unless you want to join your mate,

0:12:13 > 0:12:17But if you see him, will you tell him to come home?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I'll be up 12 days, and then I'll come back for

0:13:18 > 0:13:21- How's the room? All right? - Yeah, it's fine, thanks.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Any problems, you just let me know. I'll sort it out.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Ah, it's a good spot for you here. Quiet, convenient.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Now the blokes from the university told me you needed a guide.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Really?- Yeah, I can take you up there, no worries...
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- No, no, I wouldn't want to put you out...- No, no, it's not a problem.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43You get your stuff, you can follow me in your truck. All right?

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Who were they?
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Blockade? That's greenies protesting the logging.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Jarrah started all that.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19The children's father?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Jarrah, yeah.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Got a lot of time for Jarrah, he's a good bloke.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Eco warrior.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Where is he now? - He went missing last summer.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33He was out doing his university work and...
0:15:33 > 0:15:34he never came back down.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Didn't the university tell you?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Different university.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Anyway, it was a bloody nightmare.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44The search and rescue was out for two weeks.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Not a trace.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49And his wife?
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Lucy's not doing too good. She's...
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I do what I can to help.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Your rent money'll go a long way.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07This is all ear-marked for logging.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10So...
0:16:11 > 0:16:13..what is it you're studying?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Devils.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Dunno why. They're pests.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Still, makes a change.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24From what?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Oh, we get a lot of tourists this way looking for the Tassie Tiger.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Reckon they can take a bit of a day-trip,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34and find an animal that has been written off as extinct.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36What do you think?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38I heard one once.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41HE IMITATES TIGER
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I was a kid, I was out trapping with my dad.
0:16:44 > 0:16:4750 years ago, but I still remember it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Every now and again, some clown reckons he sees one, but...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53no-one can ever prove it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04It's not a Sunday stroll out where you want to go, Mr David.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It's a part of these highlands never been mapped.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Got satellite maps, all right,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12but doesn't mean anyone's ever been there.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16What do you think happened to Jarrah Armstrong?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19He slipped, he fell...
0:17:19 > 0:17:21broke a leg...
0:17:21 > 0:17:23froze, starved...
0:17:23 > 0:17:26then the devils got him.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Eat you alive if you give 'em a chance.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Odd, though, not to find a trace.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Well, depends if anyone wanted a trace left.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Made a few enemies, Jarrah.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40He was a foreigner, like yourself.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Wanted to save the trees.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47The logging trees are the only reason there's any people here
0:17:47 > 0:17:49at all. Or a town.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51So you can imagine when he arrived a few years back,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54he was about as popular as a snake in a sleeping bag.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Good Lord!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Good Lord indeed, Mr David.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Thank you, Mr Mindy. I'll take it from here.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25You'll what?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I'd like to go on alone.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- You sure? It's a...- Yes.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34I'm sure.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Oh, well, suit yourself. It's a...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I'll leave you to it, then.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46See you in a couple of weeks.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29You're back then.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- Get what you needed?- Sort of.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36See many devils?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Yes.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Sick or healthy?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Healthy.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Oh, well, don't let me stand in your way.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Just brought round some supplies.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Your dinner's in the kitchen.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Is that your father? - Which? Oh, yeah.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21He did it.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Why's he scratching his head? - He's not.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26He's looking for something.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29But you'd never guess what for.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- A way out of here?- A tiger.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Really? A tiger?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39What kind of tiger?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- A Tasmanian tiger. - A Tasmanian tiger?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45That's very interesting, but you know...
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- they don't exist.- Do so!
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- They're extinct.- Oh, no!
0:26:50 > 0:26:52My dad saw one last summer.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53It's a secret.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56He must have told somebody about it.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Somebody else, besides you.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Have other people seen it?

0:42:19 > 0:42:21it's a shame to waste all the hot water.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Well, I'm not your dad, and I don't think your mum would like this.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37About what, though?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39People never sing about nothing.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Nobody I've ever met has sung about nothing.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44So you can't sing a song about nothing.

0:45:41 > 0:45:43- Have you read his book? - No, I haven't.
0:45:43 > 0:45:47- But it's on the top of my list. - Run and get Daddy's book.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55So, what do they teach in zoology these days, Martin?

0:47:16 > 0:47:18Yeah, he had lots of ideas.

0:52:39 > 0:52:43- Ah! Caught a stick in it.- Gross!
0:52:43 > 0:52:46- Where's your mother? - She's inside. Kitchen.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20She eats the heart first.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25And this is the cave. She's been there.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28She probably has dens all around the area.
0:54:28 > 0:54:29And she moves between them,
0:54:29 > 0:54:32but sooner or later she'll move back here.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35I wonder if she's the last one.

0:55:28 > 0:55:30And we know the area, so...
0:55:30 > 0:55:33There's no tigers up there.
0:55:33 > 0:55:36You don't know that, you only know what they want you to know.
0:55:36 > 0:55:38Oh, here we go...
0:55:38 > 0:55:41You'd be sitting on a pile of money if you found one,

0:55:44 > 0:55:45You're a scientist.
0:55:45 > 0:55:47What would you do if you found a tiger?
0:55:49 > 0:55:51Not my field.
0:55:51 > 0:55:54Yeah, I'd just point his nose due west and tell him
0:55:54 > 0:55:55to run like the wind.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59That's what Jarred would have done. In't that right, Luce?

0:57:20 > 0:57:23Do you think those people have something to do with
0:57:23 > 0:57:26you... your husband?
0:57:26 > 0:57:29Oh, no. They're... They're angry, they're out of work,
0:57:29 > 0:57:30but they wouldn't hurt us.
0:57:30 > 0:57:33And their kids go to school with my kids.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39Jarrah thought that somebody was following him, though.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Not one of the locals.
0:57:42 > 0:57:46Well...if not them...who?
0:57:48 > 0:57:50My husband pissed off a lot of people.
0:57:50 > 0:57:52Did you tell the police?
0:57:52 > 0:57:55Yeah, they said there was no evidence.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57No, um...body.
0:57:57 > 0:58:00Besides, they knew Jarrah, his theories and what he was like,
0:58:00 > 0:58:04- so...- Do you believe someone was following him?
0:58:05 > 0:58:08I believe he believed it.
0:58:40 > 0:58:42How's it going, Mr Mindy?
0:58:42 > 0:58:45Hear you had a bit of trouble up at the house last night.
0:58:45 > 0:58:47Everything's under control.
0:58:49 > 0:58:52Maybe I should talk to the university and...

0:58:59 > 0:59:02She's off the pills. The kids are fine too.

1:07:33 > 1:07:35Was he working for Red Leaf?
1:07:38 > 1:07:42I saw their name on the back of some of the drawings. On the fridge.
1:07:43 > 1:07:45I thought he'd burnt it all.
1:07:45 > 1:07:47He got very paranoid about them.
1:07:48 > 1:07:50Why?
1:07:50 > 1:07:53He was hunting a tiger up there.
1:07:53 > 1:07:58He told me that the tiger had some...unique toxin to paralyse its prey...
