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

in a f***ing time warp.

What are they doing here, anyway?

The mines dried up years ago.

And where are all the women?

They heard you were coming.

Funny.

Wasn't this meant to be hooked on?

Sh*t.

Anything missing?

- Anything?

- It doesn't look like it.

You see? Descended from convicts, mate.

Once a thief, always a f***ing thief.

Look at that.

F***, look at that!

- What?

- Look, my f***ing car!

Look at that!

- It's not funny!

- I'm laughing at...

Look at my car!

Fifth generation wankers!

Look at that.

Don't touch it.

F***! God!

Can you close the top up? F***!

Yeah, I will. Wait for me.

Come on!

You know, I haven't thanked

you for helping me do this.

It really means a lot to me, Matt.

Thanks.

Hey, I want to show you something.

Look at this.

My gran used to do this.

Yes, please, let's talk about your gran.

- Hikers disappear,

right? - Mm-hmm.

And here, more hikers disappear.

"The Pieman's Curse."

This one is from the '60s.

- I don't have to read all this, do I?

- God.

Look at this.

Here.

"A timely reminder of 1824,

"when Alexander Pearce

escaped into the bush

and survived off human flesh."

He was a cannibal.

Who was?

The Pieman, Alexander Pearce.

He ate people to survive,

right here in the hills.

And that is what that little

girl was singing about.

I'm gonna have a shower.

Hey, come here.

Oh, sh*t.

Jack, the lights. The lights.

Jack, shush, shush, shush.

What?

I don't believe it, Jack! Sh*t!

You all right? I heard screams.

You dirty bastard!

But, Jack, wait!

It's okay.

It's probably just a fuse.

What happened?

There was some f***ing weirdo

behind the door watching us.

You sure?

Yeah, I know what I heard.

Do you mind?

You sick bastard!

Please, it wasn't me, I swear!

You sick f***!

Is that what you do, huh, you sick f***?

Come here. Come here.

Did you get a kick out

of scratching my car?

Did you? Huh? Come here.

Yeah, you f***in' rat.

Well, I'll tell you,

I like my car to stay brand new.

F***ing...

...new!

You get it?

F***ing pervert.

Here.

That was for my girlfriend,

you f***ing rat boy.

It's me, you idiot!

Well, it would have been a good show.

An adventure, right?

- Yes.

- Yeah.

- Sleep tight.

- What?

It's all sorted.

You know, I don't know

who unnerves me more...

the locals or Jack.

He took care of it.

There you go.

Thanks.

- Watch out.

- Sorry.

Yay!

We're off. Thanks.

All right, I'm in charge of ropes.

Hold on. Wait.

My camera bag... I think I've left it.

- Oh, really?

- No, it's in there.

No, I left it in the

truck. It's not here.

- I'll get it.

- That's okay. I'll get it.

You sure?

Yeah, it's in the brand-new car

with the brand-new scratch on it.
