Crime Down Under: Undercover (Crime Documentary) | Real Stories

Фильм және анимация

What is the price of living a lie? Undercover, a three part documentary series, explores the human cost of the controversial New Zealand Police Undercover Programme, as told by former agents. In Episode One, Going Under, the official undercover programme is launched in the 1970s, as agents begin the war against drugs and take on the might of the Mr Asia crime ring.
A shocking series which goes behind the headlines to find out what it is really like to work as an undercover agent. These are tales from the criminal underworld as told by the people who lived it - and living a lie among dangerous criminals is not for the faint-hearted!
Undercover cops have provided material for countless movies and TV dramas, and their real stories are just as gripping. The show features candid interviews with former agents and their operators, as well as dramatic stylisations of key events. There are stories of friendships made and broken, betrayals, frustrations, and the agents’ ultimate dedication to a cause to make the world a safer place.
This series explores what happens to police officers permitted to take drugs and live long-term, elaborate lies in order to catch criminals. Can testimony from these cops hold up in court? Where does the responsibility for the drug abuse and psychological trauma among undercover agents lie? Their answers - and the stories they tell - will shock, surprise and inspire.

    I did not try to save the child so as not to blow my cover. To save a life, especially a child it is a no brainer. You break your cover even if the whole world finds out you are a cop. Second, I don't see how assisting to save the child would have blown his cover. All it would have shown was that he was a fairly decent human being despite being a druggie. If his criminal friends would have found out they might have questioned his hard man persona but don't see them deciding he was a cop because he helped save a little girl. I question this guy's decency as a human being and his intelligence. Given his revelation at the end I am proven right.

    First aid was not commonly known back then. To run in and start doing CPR etc would've alerted people to his professional skill set. What would a two-bit, druggie, school drop-out know about life-saving CPR (assuming that was the cover story)? He could have been killed on the spot ffs, putting other beach goers in danger. Harsh, but bottom line, there was 'nobody present' who knew CPR, including the criminal drug user persona the cop had assumed. You wouldn't expect a spy undercover in North Korea to jump out and start acting contrary to cover. It was the right call.

    What this docco episode failed to mention was that most of the charged crooks who fled, ended up in Australia. Drug couriers Douglas and Isobel Wilson were later murdered at Rye on Victoria's Mornington Peninsular on the orders of Terry Clarke. Clarke had recruited Griffith based drug boss Robert Trimbole to arrange for their murders. Clarke later met Trimbole in London where admitted to Clarke he was pissed off that the Wilson's bodies had been found. "That will give me a bad name," he was reported to have said. He was more concerned with his reputation as the bodies were not supposed to have been found. "Mr Asia" - Christopher Martin Johnson had apparently based himself in Thailand and was sourcing good quality Grade 4 heroin for the Clarke syndicate. Douglas and Isobel were just two of the couriers who took valium before they went through Customs at Brisbane Airport so they wouldn't attract attention by being nervous and flustered. Brisbane Airport was the entry point of choice for Clarke as he believed it had the slackest Customs operation. Their murders were locked in after they spilled the beans to Australia's now defunct Federal Narcotics Bureau. The tapes of their treachery were leaked to Clarke...so they had to be dealt with harshly. They were lured to Melbourne, driving from Sydney during Easter of 1979, and met their hit man, James Bazley. (He had also murdered a Griffith Anti Drugs campaigner Donald McKay at the behest of Robert Trimbole. The Mr Asia group started unravelling around that time. Christopher Martin Johnson went to the UK to meet up with Terry Clarke....but he ended up at the bottom of a lake in disused quarry in Chorley, Lancashire with his hand chopped off and his teeth smashed in. (to make identifying him a tad difficult for law enforcement) However the evidence against Terry Clarke was pretty strong, thanks to a woman called Alison Dine who rolled over for investigators. I think she was later called Miss X during the Stewart Royal Commission into Drug Trafficking...but there were quite a few young women involved and Miss X could have easily been one of them) Clarke copped a life sentence for the murder of Christopher Martin Johnston, but died from a rare heart condition in prison just a few years later. Trimbole came back to Australia, but managed to skip the country simply by changing his birth date. He later died in Spain.
