In this final episode on Alexander Pearce we hear about his second escape attempt from Macquarie Harbour, with fellow convict Thomas Cox. They planned a less difficult route for their escape but again, their scheme didn't proceed as they had planned.
This time the authorities took the situation more seriously and we learn how it all ended for Cox & Pearce.
