This documentary was produced by The Age and The Sydney Herald (links below) in October 2019, and rebroadcast by the BBC in May 2021. The Age - Original Podcast Introduction: https://www.theage.com.au/national/when-drugs-came-to-town-the-last-voyage-of-the-pong-su-20191002-p52wzd.html Podcast list: https://www.theage.com.au/pong-su BBC: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09glsys EPISODES: Trailer The thrilling true story behind an international drug plot involving the rogue state of North Korea, south-east Asian drug lords, $100 million worth of heroin, spooks, sailors, Australian cops and a web of lies. 1. "Do they surf in North Korea?" - BBC / "This f---ing boat" - The Age North Korean cargo ship the Pong Su comes dangerously close to Australia's shipwreck coastline in a high-risk, high-reward operation to import a record amount of heroin. Coastal locals have never seen anything like it. 2. Master Sun's big gamble Pong Su skipper Song Man Sun embarks on his final journey before retirement, while Australian police get a big break as they covertly track suspected Asian crime syndicate foot soldiers around Melbourne's casino and the nearby surf coast. 3. Going Fishing Secretly bugged conversations give Australian police clues about the immense scale of the heroin import. On board the Pong Su, two men prepare to risk everything to make it happen. 4. "Do you believe in luck?" Tension among the Asian crime syndicate members is at breaking point, while Australian police keep finding their best laid plans are going astray. A dead body on the beach throws everyone off their game. 5. Hot pursuit A dramatic chase at sea unfolds to stop a fleeing Pong Su. The North Korean crew fear the worst for their Master after they are told by radio message from Pyongyan to stop and fight. 6. Hidden Forces Was Kim Jong II's secretive money making agency behind the Pong Su heroin importation? A high-profile North Korean defector speaks out. 7. You need a lawyer The legal battle begins to save the Pong Su crew and a special relationship builds between a suburban Melbourne solicitor and an enigmatic North Korean man who has everyone guessing. 8. The defector's choice Australian prosecutors travel to Seoul to meet North Korean defectors as they try to understand the power structure on board the Pong Su. While lab results tell police there is something different about the Pong Su's heroin. 9. The most free they'd ever be Nerves are frayed on all sides as a marathon courtroom case concludes. The Australian government plans for a spectacular end to the Pong Su. 10. Reckoning After 16 years, the truth finally emerges about the tight bond between three of the key players in the heroin import and their ties to North Korea. BONUS EPISODES: 11: Missing planning with the SAS An extended interview with Ben Pronk and Tim Curtis about what happened before, during and after the day of this dramatic operation - as well as their memories of the infamous Tampa affair of 2001 and conflict overseas. 12: Taking the helm of the Pong Su Nicholas Martin had a very important role in the Pong Su story, but it's one he's never talked publicly about until now. 13: The double agent A human source risks his life by becoming a double agent. His existence and his crucial role in helping police know which syndicate members to shadow before the Pong Su's April 2003 arrival has remained a secret until now. 14. Trailer
