- I thought I was the tracker on this one.

- Hello.

Look, I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

But Adi has been appointed

by government...

...for new tracker.

Right!

- Oh, you speak Bahasa?

- Oh yeah, a little.

And this is Putri(?).

Oh Putri, nice to meet you.

Thank you so much for all your hard work.

It's been amazing.

So tell me, ah any, any more news

on those cattle attacks?

Yes, I just got phone call from the farmer

up north in the mountain region.

Alright, alright, look.

Enough of this.

Now you're here,

we should get going, right?

Okay, let's go, let's get going.

Let's go, let's...

What's she so worried about, mate?

Nothing. She's from the area.

They're superstitious.

They believe in Satan Hutan.

What's that?

- That's a forest demon.

- Forest demon?

- What like a, like a werewolf or something?

- Yeah, yeah, something like that.

We almost there?

Yeah, won't be long now.

I just see the village up ahead.

We're gonna spend the night in there.

What do you think of this area

we're going to, Adi?

I think it's dangerous.

People and animal,

they just disappear there.

You think it's the ah the forest demon,

the Satan Hutan?

Many people believe this.

The head village, the Dukan,

they all believe this.

The Dukan, what's that?

The ah, like the local witch doctor?

Yeah, the Dukan is the um...

You know, they're special people

who can travel

the other world and spirit.

That kind of people.

They're special people.

Yeah.

- Yeah, this is my first time in Indonesia.

- Really, what do you think?

Yeah, yeah, it's great.

Have to work hard.

- Have eight children to feed.

- Eight?

- Yeah, lot of mouth to feed.

- Yeah.

Is it on?

Adi's found us a Dukan,

so we thought we'd check it out.

It's a very superstitious part

on Indonesia,

which is a problem

for the leopard program, because...

if people think the thing killing

their animals is a forest demon or...

...werewolf or whatever,

people just want it dead,

even if they end up killing a leopard.

This should be interesting.

Okay, ah...

I think, I think I've heard enough.

Yeah?

So Adi, what did

the what did the Dukan say?

He said the mountains round here

are very dangerous.

There's a forest demon,

ah just up in the mountain.

He uses black magic,

and when he catch you,

- chop of your head, take your heart out.

- Cuts off your head?

He keep you alive by black magic

- and make your head eat your hat.

- Wow!

And then he tell you when to die.

That's what he say.

What do you make of that, Bootie?

I'm Muslim.

I don't believe these thing.

What about you, Adi?

You believe it, don't you?

Not really.

You sure about that?

Well maybe. I'm not sure.
