Back on Croker island, Clayton and the ranger group want to keep fighting to help the four men they rescued.

“I just wanted them to feel comfortable here on the island, and I wanted to talk to one of the police or someone else, like Border Force, just for them to stay here [so we could] take care of them. I can adopt people and keep them here,” Clayton says.
