WEBVTT - Hit and Run 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.840 When Kim jong Nam was detained at Tokyo Narita International 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.680 Airport in two thousand one. The embarrassment and shame it 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.479 brought to the regime back home may have been a 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.480 stain on his character and a harbinger of his downfall, 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.520 but it may have also been the reason his death 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:33.240 was exposed to the world. You see, when Japanese officials 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:37.520 stopped him at the border, they took his fingerprints, fingerprints 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:41.560 which may have been used sixteen years later to identify 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.320 the body of a dead man in Malaysia. This would 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.720 reveal that the person North Korea insisted with Kim cho 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:55.440 was actually their forgotten prince Kim Chong nam. But that's 0:00:55.520 --> 0:01:00.440 just one theory. Another was that Kim jong Nam's identity 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:06.240 was determined with the DNA test. Rumors flowed that his son, 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.920 Kim hans Hold, now a young man in his early twenties, 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.280 flew to Kuala Lampour dressed in an officer's uniform and 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.360 snuck into the morgue in the dead of night to 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:21.400 provide a DNA sample for comparison. No one knows for sure. 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.720 Malaysian officials never detailed how they confirmed the identity of 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:31.040 the body. We have now established that Kim Joel is 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:39.399 Kin Yong Nam. We have fulfil the laws on his identification. 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.119 But it was at this moment that Kim hans Hold, 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.960 a relatively unknown figure in the world's view, was thrust 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:53.480 into the international spotlight. Not much was known about him, 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.840 except for the fact that he was Kim Jong Nam's 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:03.320 oldest son. K Hansol grew up in Macau. Raised in 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.680 a capitalist paradise, he got to do things that most 0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.480 North Korean boys his age could only dream of. He 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.800 dyed his hair blonde, he got ear piercings, He explored Twitter, 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.680 experimented with different religions, and even listened to Katie Perry. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.239 Like his father before him, he'd attend private international schools 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.040 in Europe and make friends from all over the world. 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:33.080 In he began attending an international secondary school in Bosnia Herzegovina. 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:37.359 Living in the Balkans, Kim Hansel kept a low profile, 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.160 but when he was seventeen, he agreed to do a 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:46.400 television interview with Elizabeth Grain, the former Defense Minister of Finland. 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:52.880 Kim Hansl arrives smartly dressed. He wears trendy black framed glasses, 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:58.680 with diamond studded earrings. He's calm and composed, speaking English 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:03.000 with effortless fluent see. And then with that same cool 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:08.280 and casual demeanor, he does the unthinkable. The leader. Now 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:13.000 he is your uncle, but the very young one. Yeah. Yeah, 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:17.120 he's the youngest of the Verdes. How come that he 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.120 was the one to be appointed by his father. I'm 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.959 not really sure, but my dad was definitely not really 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:31.880 interested in politics for him. Yeah, and uh, I really 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.440 never met them in real life, so I really don't 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:39.080 know how he became a dictator. He calls his uncle 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:45.360 Kim Jong un a dictator. Then Kim hans Hold thanks 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.880 his parents for giving him a fresh perspective on his privilege, 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:55.440 acknowledging the harsh reality of many people in his home country. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.800 My parents played a big role in supporting me and 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.200 always telling me, like, think about the people first before 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:08.200 you eat that food in front of you. Yeah, And 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.120 my mom always tried to encourage me to live the 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.760 same lifestyle as the ordinary citizens so I can have 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.560 a better understanding of the people. And my dad as 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.080 well always told me forget about the background and everything 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:29.640 and live your life and understand everything. There's a lot 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.800 of people who are hungry and always just think twice 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:38.280 and be thankful for what you have. Right now, the 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.320 brother of Kim Jong and dead in a blood strength 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:46.240 of a movie. You're gonna have Rother poison on his grace. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:54.320 Why more creators have brothers? I'm eating Lee. In our 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:59.159 final episode, we dig into the audacious plot assassinate King 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.960 Jong Nam, the story of the women who killed him, 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.800 and what the North Korean princes untimely death meant for 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:12.479 his family and his firstborn son. What was the story 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.080 behind the two women who reportedly they thought they were 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.080 part of this TV show and the CIA did its 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.680 thing and somehow spirited them out of the airports, you know, 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.880 through a different entrance. This is the scopt that every 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.920 journalist covering North Korea wants to uncover. Where is Kim Hamzoo? 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:49.200 This is big brother? Kim Jong Nam was always looking 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.640 over his shoulder. On the day he was killed, he 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.920 was carrying twelve vials of VX antidote. He was carrying 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.640 only a bet peck, but in that back pack apparently 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:06.600 was an antidote to the exact kind of nerve agent 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.159 that he was exposed to and subsequently died from but 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.040 for some reason, when two women grabbed his face from 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.679 behind and spread a mysterious peace across his eyes and mouth, 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:22.160 he never thought to reach into his bag containing those 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.560 life saving cures, nor did he go to the bathroom 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.400 to wipe it off. We don't know why he didn't 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.120 use them. He did have About twenty minutes after this 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.720 v X two was smeared on his face, he was 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.839 able to walk to security and ask for help, and 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.760 you know, stagger to the medical clinic inside the airport. 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:46.000 So that's one of the many mysteries about North Korea 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.000 and Kim John Nam's death, is why he didn't use 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.520 the medicine that he had on him. If anything, even 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.360 if Kim Jong Nam was expecting an attack, he wasn't 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.760 expecting it to happen like this because by the time 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.000 Kim Jong Nam saw after it was too late. The 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.520 amount of v X covering his nose, mouth, and eyes 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.559 was almost one and a half times the lethal dose. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.520 This was an extremely painful death when his organs one 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.640 by one failed and he was dead within twenty minutes, 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.600 and a lot of it was caught on camera, and 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.720 that shows just how sophisticated North Korea's assassination attempts have 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:31.920 become because decades ago they were much more crude. In 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.200 a trio of North Korean agents attempted to assassinate the 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:41.680 South Korean president Ton Do one he was visiting what 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:46.679 was then internationally known as Rangoon in Burma. A bomb 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:51.720 injured forty six people and killed twenty one, including journalists 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:58.160 and top Korean politicians, but the president survived. The three 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:02.240 secret agents behind the ploy did not get away. One 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:07.080 was shot dead, one was executed by hanging, and one 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:13.240 was sentenced to life in prison. That Burma bombing, suspected 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.840 to have been organized by none other than Kim Jong il, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.960 taught North Korea a careful lesson. When it goes on 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:27.280 the attack, it must be more subtle, because the point 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.080 isn't just to kill somebody, it's to send a message. 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.160 The perpetrators, in other words, need to leave their mark 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:43.880 without getting caught. North Korea's assassins knew they couldn't make 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.640 the same old mistakes. If somebody was going to take 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.480 the fall for their dirty work, it would be somebody 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:55.920 who had no association with the regime at all. They 0:08:56.000 --> 0:09:02.240 needed pawns, stooges. The more night eve, the easier to manipulate, 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:14.120 the better. Ct Aisha was perfect. She had never heard 0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.880 of Kim jong Nam. She didn't even know the difference 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.720 between North and South Korea. According to an article by 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:25.160 journalist Doug Bob Clark and g Q, CT was from Indonesia, 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.920 born in an impoverished farming village called Rancha some More, 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.640 a simple and devoutly Muslim region known best for an 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:37.360 endless horizon of rice patties and herds of grazing water buffalo. 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:43.000 As a young teenager, CT devoted herself to Islam. She 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:46.360 wore conservative clothes and answered the daily call to prayer. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:51.800 She spent most of her days knife in hand chopping turmeric, ginger, 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.680 and other spices which her father sold at local markets. 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.280 But when she saw the glitz and romance of city 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:04.040 lights on the television, she became in thralled. She vowed 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.679 to escape for a better life, and at age fourteen, 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:14.360 CT left for Jakarta. Jacarta, however, didn't have much use 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.600 for a fourteen year old girl with a sixth grade education. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:22.120 CT didn't find the glitz or glamours she was seeking. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:27.400 She found herself working sixteen hour days stitching knockoff clothes 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:33.440 and a humid, dingy sweatshop. CT worked tirelessly for a 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.640 easily fifteen cents an hour. She was rarely allowed to 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.800 take a break. Even when she was, she couldn't leave. 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:46.200 The door leading outside was locked during work hours, as 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:50.600 bock Clark reports, when the sweatshop owner's son began flirting 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:55.760 with her, CT reciprocated. It wasn't long before she got pregnant. 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:01.199 She married, had a baby boy, and soon was raising 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:07.560 the child alone. Seti struggled. The marriage collapsed, and before 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:12.080 her twentieth birthday, her ex husband's parents would take custody 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.920 of her baby. But Seti saw this as an opportunity 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.720 to make a change, to live large in the city 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:25.400 like she had always dreamed. She left Jakarta for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.360 She also left Islam. She ditched her headscarf in favor 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:34.120 of lipstick and short skirts. She started going to the 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:38.400 mall to bars the clubs, but she also needed money, 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:44.120 and soon, like thousands of other disadvantaged women in this region, 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:49.040 she found herself working in Kuala Lympur's underbelly at a 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:54.200 massage parlor. Soon she was leveraging her beauty and her 0:11:54.240 --> 0:12:01.679 body to make money. Her escort name was Kelly. Most nights, 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.880 as dance music rumbled through the dense urban air, CT 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.280 and an array of other women clad in heels and 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:13.560 alluring outfits, walked to the Beach Club Cafe, a haunt 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:18.000 nestled under a canopy of skyscrapers and palm trees. That 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.600 was where many prostitutes and escorts looked for work and 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:26.240 where customers sought them out, And the pay was good. 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.520 With just a few customers, CT could make three to 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.040 four times more in a single night as a sex 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.240 worker than she used to make in a whole month 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.600 at the sweatshop. But CT did not like the work. 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.320 According to back Clark's article, she may have taken up 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:49.160 drugs like meth to face herself, her clients, and the 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:56.319 realities of life in Kuala Lumpur's underworld. One night, CT 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.560 was standing by the sidewalk outside the Beach club when 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.800 a cap hold up. The driver waved at CT and 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:07.000 rolled down his window. He had a request. One of 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.319 his passengers had asked him to find girls, girls who 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:14.520 would be comfortable smearing lotion all over strangers. But then 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:19.000 the taxi driver said the magic words. He'd pay as 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.320 much as a hundred dollars in Malaysian ring gets for 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:26.360 each video tape. That was enough to at least discuss 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:31.200 the opportunity further. The next day, the driver picked up 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:33.719 CT and took her to them All, where she met 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:38.240 a man. He was young and thin, with a short haircut. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.640 He seemed like a straight laced, all business type. He 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.640 called himself James, and he claimed to be Japanese. James 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.400 explained he was filming a prank show, something in the 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:55.400 vein of candy camera that would play on YouTube and 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:59.040 it would be huge in China and Japan. It was 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:04.760 destined to go viral. City listened eagerly. She was desperate 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.559 to do something new with her life. She was completely 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.600 unaware that James was not who he said he was, 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.320 nor was she aware that the same pitch was being 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.480 given to another woman in Vietnam, a woman whose life 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:28.680 shared striking parallels with her own. Duan Ti Juan grew 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.800 up in Nia Being Vietnam, the daughter of poor farmers, 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:38.080 but farm life wasn't for her. She hated working with 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.000 her hands and could hardly stand the thought of butcher 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:45.000 and chickens. She decided that when she grew up, she 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:49.840 go to college instead. Juana attended a few classes in Hanoi, 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.440 but work was scarce, so she took the only job 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:58.040 she could get as a pub waitress. Hopes of becoming 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:02.280 a white collar professional ashed. D One worked long hours 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:06.440 waiting tables and quickly grew weary of the service industry. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:11.080 She started entertaining bigger dreams. She wanted to be on 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:16.760 TV to become a famous actress. In she made an 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.760 appearance on national Vietnamese television when she auditioned for the 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:34.920 same competition Vietnam Idol, Mongo Suncho Circom Fine, Okay, she 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:40.160 didn't make it to the next round. One also made 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:44.160 a handful of appearances on an online prank show called QUANGBC, 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:49.440 but that experience, too, was short lived. Soon One was 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:53.280 desperate for money and she fell into the same pattern 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:57.120 that had Trap City. It's believed that d One became 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.520 an escort, but one day she got a life changing 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.920 phone call. It was a friend, Do you want to 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.640 work for a company making a short movie or funny video. 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.880 There was a guy, her friend explained, who was interested 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:16.640 in hiring a few aspiring actresses. He was at the 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:21.000 bar right now, why not come meet him? One rushed 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.160 to a joint called the hay Bard to meet this 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.640 talent agent. They're sitting idly at the counter. She found 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.640 a Vietnamese speaking man. He explained that he was starting 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.760 an internet prank show and it was gonna be big. 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.200 He was willing to pay an actress like Dwan up 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:42.320 to one thousand dollars a month. D One's heart raced, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:45.880 but when she asked the mysterious man for his name, 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:53.880 he waved her off and said, just call me Mr. Why. 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:01.920 It's worth mentioning just how popular prank shows are in Asia. 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.240 Like reality television in the US, prank shows and wacky 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.320 game shows are a tent pole of television culture, especially 0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:15.840 in Japan. Many of the show premises are kind of bonkers, 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:20.320 such as this prank program, which sums unsuspecting strangers through 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.440 an elevator shaft, filming their terrified reactions as they fall 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:28.040 to what they think is their debts but is actually 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:39.280 just a slide. There are hundreds of other shows aimed 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.800 at getting laughs by pranking unsuspecting marks. The reason these 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.399 shows flourish maybe part cultural, but it's also part legal. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:52.920 In the United States, court law is strong you can 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:57.000 sue people for causing emotional distress. It's the reason you 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:01.439 don't see shows like Punked or Scare Tactics anymore. But 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:06.320 in many Eastern countries, tour payouts are prohibitively low, and 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:10.679 most lawyers and judges will wave off distress claims. In 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:16.040 other words, prank shows can prosper without much legal backlash. 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.080 So when James explained to CT that her job was 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.200 the smear baby oil on the faces of strangers while 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.960 he filmed it, CT didn't hesitate to do it. In 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:29.040 the grand scheme of public prank shows, the stunt was 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:34.600 pretty tame, and after all, it paid well. Her first 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.200 test run and a public mall was a glowing success, 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:43.440 landing a hundred dollars in her pocket. Meanwhile, in Hanoi, 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:47.200 Mr Y was training one to do the same. They 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:50.480 met outside of the city's opera house, and as a 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.439 test to see if Due was truly unafraid of touching 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.240 strangers in public, he pointed out a person in the 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.080 crowd and told one to kiss him on the cheek. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:03.360 One one for it. She passed the test. Later that evening, 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.359 Mr Why took her to a coffee shop to meet 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:12.359 his boss. There, an older man sat sipping coffee. D 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.920 One introduced herself and asked for his name. He said 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:22.880 it was Hannamodi, but otherwise spoke cryptically. Back in Indonesia, 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:29.760 CT was receiving more training. In early January, surveillance footage 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.040 would capture her smearing baby oil on a stranger's face 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:37.360 at a hotel. Soon she was practicing the sun twice 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:43.240 a day and becoming more comfortable pranking strangers. Midway through training, 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.680 James introduced her to a friend named Chang, who was 0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:50.840 fluent in her native language of Bahasa. With the language 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:55.920 barrier broken, the flirtatious Chang began stoking the young woman's ego. 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.600 You're gonna be famous. He said, The spranks are going 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:05.040 to take you all over the world, to Singapore, to America. 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:08.840 Even cit started bragging to her friends that she was 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.640 about to become a star. The production team began flying 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:17.439 CT around, testing her prank skills at various airports. The 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:22.360 practice sessions intensified. Chang and James brought Citi to Kuala 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:25.760 Lumpur and began practicing the face smearing technique at the 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:30.280 International Airport. Doubling her right to two hundred American dollars 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:35.679 per stunt. By early February, she had rehearsed at least 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:40.919 a dozen times. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, one was practicing the 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:45.439 same stunt in Hanoi at Noi Bay Airport. According to 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:51.439 Assassin's documentary, directed by Ryan White, Mr Why was a 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:56.840 demanding coach, often texting her with advice, Now, you must 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.800 be harder when you cover the eyes, hold it there 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.480 two to three seconds, and then go down the entire face. 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.720 When it sticks to the eyes, It's gonna make people 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.760 puzzled and surprised. It's a good effect for the video clip. 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:15.120 A few days later, Mr Y and Hanna Moody flew 0:21:15.200 --> 0:21:18.960 to one to Kuala Lumpore. There she had a giant 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:22.040 teddy bear, the kind you might find at a carnival, 0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:24.879 and was told to use it to rehearse the prank. 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:29.040 Practice with your teddy bear. All right, tomorrow, we have 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.960 a male actor and his role will be to make 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:35.840 it difficult for you. Don't let the male actor see us, 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:40.760 do not look straight at him. Don't be stressed abnormal. 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:45.800 As Doane practiced in her hotel room, CT was enjoying 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:49.159 a night out with friends celebrating her birthday at the 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:53.560 hard Rock Cafe. After blowing out the candles on a cupcake, 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.399 she danced into the night, unaware that her world was 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:14.760 about to turn up. Hide Down video shows two women 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.240 carrying out the airport attack with a mysterious poison Kim 0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:25.240 Jong Na. Two women, their identities currently unknown, appear to 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:29.280 have rubbed poison on his face. Authorities have confirmed it 0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:33.840 was v X nerve agent. Within hours of Kim Jong 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:39.240 Nam's death, Mr y Chang, Hannamoni and a fourth suspect 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.679 had all boarded flights out of the country. They had 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.720 changed their clothes and shaved their faces, and would land 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:49.119 in Kong Young before any of the news. Head James 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:53.840 had disappeared without a trace, and two North Koreans, the 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:57.480 two who had presumably helped usher the assassins through the airport, 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:02.320 we're now hold up in the embassy of a cross town. Meanwhile, 0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:07.080 C T and Dwan waited blissfully unaware for their next prank. 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:12.240 In fact, two days after Kim Jong Nam died, Dwan 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:14.520 would return to the scene of the crime to the 0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:18.840 airport arrivals hall. She was clueless that a major crime 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.760 had been committed their days earlier, and that her so 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:26.720 called prank was the cause. And unlike most criminals who 0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:30.240 returned to their own crime scene, One made no attempt 0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:33.760 to change her appearance. She wore the same shoes and 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:37.360 kept her hair the same style. She wandered the airport 0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:41.000 aimlessly looking down at her phone, waiting to receive a 0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:47.479 text from Mr. Y. So lost and confused, One tried 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:52.520 to text him, quote, I today came to airport but 0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:55.359 did not see you there. You said today we'd make 0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.120 a video clip. I don't know what to do now, 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:04.480 but her messages were never delivered. His phone line was disconnected. 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:09.560 After milling about the arrivals hall, Dwan left the airport 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:12.919 and hailed a taxi. Before she could even hop in 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.760 the cab, the airport security guards, who had recognized her 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:20.360 from CCTV footage from the day of the attack, detained her. 0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:24.879 When police took due in custody, she complained that she 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:30.639 hadn't been paid for her last stunt. Ct was just 0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:35.360 as clueless. She didn't follow the news, so when police 0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.760 barged into her room at the Flamingo hotel, she too 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:42.000 thought it was all part of the prank show liked one. 0:24:42.520 --> 0:24:45.600 She had no idea that someone had been assassinated at 0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:48.960 the airport. She also had no idea that James and 0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:55.520 Chang were in fact North Korean spies. In the Assassin's documentary, 0:24:55.880 --> 0:25:02.840 c recalled, the police asked who are you? Are you 0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.520 a spy? What did you do that caused that man 0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:09.880 in the airport to die? I was confused. I didn't 0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:13.520 understand what they meant. You are involved in the premeditated 0:25:13.600 --> 0:25:19.240 murder of the Korean president's brother. I was shocked, you're kidding. 0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:23.199 I was doing a video shoot. Is this part of 0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:30.720 the video prank? Within days, both City and Duan were 0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:35.120 in prison. The women didn't understand the seriousness of their 0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:39.960 crime until they met their lawyers. The found guilty of murder. 0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:44.320 Both women would have ropes strung around their necks and 0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:52.760 they would be executed by hanging. As evidence mounted that 0:25:52.920 --> 0:25:56.840 North Korea was responsible for the killing of Kim Jong Nam, 0:25:56.880 --> 0:26:01.160 the DPRK's ambassador to Malaysia began in a aggressive campaign 0:26:01.600 --> 0:26:06.520 of denial. He dismissed any suggestion of wrongdoing. He refused 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:08.840 to give up the North Koreans hiding in the embassy 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:12.159 he wouldn't acknowledge that Chong Nan died from a nerve agent, 0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:14.480 and he refused to call Kim Jong Nam by his 0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.480 real name, instead referring to him by the faith name 0:26:17.520 --> 0:26:23.040 on his passport, Kim Chong. The Malaysian government responded by 0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:28.800 kicking the ambassador out of the country. Peongyang returned fire 0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:33.719 by barring all Malaysians from leaving North Korea, essentially holding 0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:38.960 all of their diplomats hostage. The North Koreans took all 0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:43.800 of the Malaysians in Pyongyang, which I believe was eleven 0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:47.600 people in the Malaysian diplomats and their families, essentially put 0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:50.840 them under embassy arrest and wouldn't allow them to leave 0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:56.120 North Korea until the North Korean nationals in Malaysia had 0:26:56.119 --> 0:27:00.000 been allowed to leave there, and then more international dominant 0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:04.960 began to fall. Nuclear disarmament talks between the US and 0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:10.000 North Korea disintegrated. Even China punished the North, refusing to 0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:14.320 import coal from their communist cousin. By this point, the 0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:21.120 Malaysian government was deeply embarrassed a foreign country with which 0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:25.080 it had friendly relations had just staged a chemical attack 0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:29.439 using the world's most potent chemical weapon. Within its borders 0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:34.480 and in an international airport, no less, a space symbolically 0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:41.240 shared by the whole world. Malaysia, in other words, was furious, 0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:45.800 and with suspects either having escaped or enjoying the immunity 0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:49.640 of the embassy, the country turned its attention to Citi 0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:54.439 Aisha and Dwanti Jung. Somebody had to be punished for 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:58.080 Kim Jong Nam's death, and it would be these two 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:14.919 hapless women. The scene outside of shah Alarm Courthouse was chaotic. 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:19.119 A sea of cameras and reporters had gathered outside the 0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:23.960 building's doors awaiting the arrival of c T Aisha and Blantehn. 0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:29.800 At the time, nobody knew their stories. Many believed these 0:28:29.840 --> 0:28:34.240 women were stealthy assassins, a duo of them fatales with 0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:41.600 links to North Korea's innermost firings. On October two, a 0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:45.120 parade of police vehicles escorted the women to the courthouse. 0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:49.720 When they emerged, their heads were wrapped in Islamic headscarves 0:28:49.960 --> 0:28:54.600 and their bodies draped and bulletproof vests. Armed guards ushered 0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:58.080 them to the courthouse as the press swarmed like paparazzi, 0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.880 trying to get a glimpse of the two rumored secret agents. 0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:06.680 Over the following weeks, this scene played out again and again, 0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:11.480 with the women looking more and more sullen. Midway through, 0:29:11.840 --> 0:29:15.560 the judge read an eighty two page document declaring his 0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:19.520 belief that the women had not been duped, but had 0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:23.920 in fact been willing accomplices to a North Korean murder plot. 0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:30.479 He asked the defense to prove its case. By this point, 0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:33.560 it had long been established that the women had killed 0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:37.920 Kim Jong Nam with VX nerve agent. They likely survived 0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.200 because they had applied it to their palms, where the 0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:43.200 skin is thicker, and had wiped the poison often time. 0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:47.640 Some believe the North Koreans used v X two, an 0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:51.920 agent that only activates after two separate compounds are combined. 0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:55.600 If so, the low exposure may have helped keep the 0:29:55.640 --> 0:30:00.520 women alive. As a trial war on to in CT 0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:06.280 remained in custody, weeks blurred into months, months into years. 0:30:07.040 --> 0:30:10.680 The women were confined to separate cells, but began sharing 0:30:10.800 --> 0:30:14.320 stories by yelling through the bars. They started to joke 0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:18.760 and chit chat, and, in their words, became like sisters 0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:24.200 as their separate defenses worked their case. Neither women knew 0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:27.360 that the highest channels of Indonesia's government were working to 0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:34.240 free CT. Indonesia's President Joco Widodo was running for reelection 0:30:34.680 --> 0:30:38.200
