In this episode, Neil sits down with Keith Banks — one of Australia’s most seasoned and storied undercover operatives. From a violent childhood in the Queensland outback to joining the police force at just 19, Keith’s path led him deep into the criminal underworld at a time when corruption, heroin, and chaos surged through the streets.

For two years, Keith lived as someone else — carrying multiple identities, infiltrating drug syndicates, working alone without surveillance or backup, and constantly walking the razor’s edge between survival and exposure. His stories reveal the raw reality of undercover life: the adrenaline, the fear, the moral lines blurred, the friendships forged with criminals, and the moments where one wrong reaction could have cost him his life.
