Shin Sang-ok had
surfaced in Prague,
shooting a film for North Korea.
He was full of ambition...
speaking of the studio
which he was building,
bringing new equipment with him,
to make films,
and producing films.
And I guess he was close to...
the man he was in the sixties,
when he was so successful.
He was certainly very happy.
I suppose you're from
Korea, aren't you?
I came here on
some business.
Welcome.
Tetsuo:
(speaking Japanese)(inaudible)
Derek Malcolm:
They wereaccompanied by about
at least 20 heavies,
whom, I gathered, were...
security people.
They were definitely
guarding these people.
All in the same suit.
It was very strange.
They were all in exactly
the same dark suit.
I don't know...
They seemed sort of friendly.
It did seem as if there was
something slightly odd going on.
Yi:
They went to the BerlinInternational Film Festival.
And there,
attending this festival.
Shin and Choi showed
very cold shoulder to them.
"Okay, we're doing very good
in North Korea.
much the party is supporting us.
as we want.
We are perfectly okay
in North Korea.
There is no country
in the world
better than North Korea
to be in the film business."
North Korean watchdog
security guards
reported to Kim Jong-il when
they got back to Pyongyang.
"Oh, now, don't say anything.
Shin Sang-ok
and Choi Eun-hee
are absolutely loyal
to North Korea.
They are loyal to Kim Il-sung
and Kim Jong-il."
And they started to obtain
more confidence
from these two leaders.
And they gave them
better treatment.
That was the beginning
of Shin and Choi
starting to think about escaping
from North Korea.
Tetsuo:

Shin Sang-ok:

(tape clicks)
Straub:
Out of the blue,I received
a telephone call from a lady,
saying that she was associated
with Shin Sang-ok
and Choi Eun-hee,
and she needed to talk to me.
Her father had met Shin Sang-ok
when travelling in Europe.
She said that Shin had asked him
to pass a message
to the US government,
that Shin was being
held under duress,
that he not defected
to North Korea,
that he wished to escape
and come to the United States.
And we have a bag, full of
rattling microcassette tapes
like we used to use
in those days.
Well, at that point,
and said, "Tapes? Of Shin
talking with Kim Jong-il?"
