Peter Morgan was one half of Australia's most audacious crime duo — identical twins who pulled off a string of armed robberies and became the country's most wanted.

In Part Two of Adam's conversation with Peter, the story picks up in the aftermath of the 1979 Heathcote bank robbery, in which Senior Constable Ray Koch was shot.

Peter recounts the desperate hours after the shooting — hiding from roadblocks, hitching into Bendigo, and coming within seconds of a second violent confrontation with an off-duty officer. He reflects on the psychological weight of Pentridge Prison, how he broke out of not one but two so-called escape-proof jails and what it really took to walk away from crime for good.
