Noordin's fate - and return to Bali

Episode 8 - season finale Joe is given something of an explanation as to how he survived the blast - although how isn't the same as why. In Indonesia, after four years of peace, Noordin Top and his network, al Qaeda for the Malay Archipelago, resurface with devastating consequences. This time, however, the Indonesian police are determined he will answer for his decade of deadly crimes. Finally, in the days following the 2005 Bali Bombing, one survivor is determined to make his own humble stand against terrorism. ⁠Episode 8 on our website⁠ [https://9point6.com.au/8-return-to-bali] Follow us on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/Forgotten.Bombs/].

Costs covered and prices paid

Episode 7 The young man who gave up the whereabouts of Azhari - leading to the bombmaker's death at the hands of Indonesia's police - is put on trial, along with three accomplices. Members of Team Newcastle sit in Denpasar District Court, watching on. As for Noordin Top, while members of his network are brought to some semblance of justice, be it by judge, jury or executioner, he is to prove far more elusive. Back in Australia, the survivors face lengthy roads to recovery, with unwelcome detours - as well as unexpected support from the country's new Prime Minister.

People who do not know love

Episode 6 In Newcastle, two teenage brothers who lost everything stand strong and put their lives back together, showing courage and wisdom beyond their years. Back in Bali, the search for those responsible for the bombing ramps up. A grisly piece of evidence - ghoulish photos of the suicide bombers' dismembered heads - leads police to the hideout of one of the most wanted men in Indonesia. But he won't go down without a fight.

The morning after the bombing

Episode 5 Joe went to bed on 1 October thinking everyone from Newcastle was going to be OK. Joe's father, Dr Adam Frost, went to Sanglah Hospital where he discovered that was not the case. Three people are dead, while many survivors' injuries will be life changing. And that's just the group from Newcastle. Joe speaks to survivors, the AFP's man in Canberra working to bring them home, and the future Prime Minister of Australia who was on holiday in Bali at the time.
