"The lady, she has two small dogs and she was worried because the alligator1 finds the back of her house and just gets up there and he sounds itself and lays out there. She tries to chase him off and he don't move, because he opens his mouth. So she's a little bit worried, which she has plenty of reasons to be."

Rick finds the distressed2 homeowner: Debra Whine3 Simon and her dogs. As they played on the shore, they had a lucky escape from the gator.

''Look at the face, he and he was away, almost by the skin of your teeth.''

The local residents have taken pictures of the alligator sitting on the shore.

''This guy was (Oh, he's a big one.) at the other yard(Is it big? This is a big one) and that's from faraway. (That's a good sight one, isn't it? Yeah.) That's from, now look at the next picture, which was like three trees over, so was far-away.''

And he's not done it to have fun.
Is it really?
See!
You think so?

Debra's worried about her pets.

''My direct concern is that they are not food: alligator food. They... I mean, they're my, my, my babies. And I..., it freaks me out that there's a predator4, that actually because they must sense that there are dogs that live here and that's why they do come and hang out here. ''

Because of the urgency of the situation, Rick and Scott are prepared for an all-nighter.

''I, I have eggs for breakfast. Don't worry about it. (What time do you want me to be here?) There it goes. You are staying right here until that thing is gone.''

The lake at the back of the property is massive. The gator could be anywhere.

Simon was out on her bank, and she's got a couple of toy poodles that the gator will enter and harass5 them. Said she's sick and tired of living like this. Welcome to south Florida.''

''Dogs are on the food chain for the alligator, there's no doubt about it.''

At night, alligators6 are difficult to see, but their eyes gleam orange from reflected light. As Rick sweeps his spotlight7 across the lake, there's no sign of the deadly predator.

''Plan is we're gonna go up around the band and see if we see this guy. It's perfect night, perfect for hunting, but not seeing the alligator. So either he's moved on looking for a female, or he's in thick grass around the band up here.''

Rick drives around the lake. He's concerned that it's getting late and that his flashlight might be scaring local residents.


''He started to shine a light like this and the back at these old people's house like what we've been doing. You get the law call every time. ''

It's why you use that low light.''

''Well, we've checked every inch of body of water out here in this community, haven't seen the alligator. So er, he was just for tonight.''
