they'd save my brother

Prosecutor Lee Si-won

Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office

-Are we filming right now?

-Go down that way

-Can we go down?

-No idea

Old lady investigator

-She's the investigator who

Ga-ryeo called her old lady

-A woman whose age is like Ga-ryeo's mom

Choi Hyun-jung

Doctor of Clinical Psychology

-She took good care of Ga-ryeo

after beating

-She cried, hugged, comforted

after beating again

-This often-changing attitude

-is a very confusing

-and serious torture

-It's a very useful torture

-for brainwashing people, and

-she had a lot of experience

-So I think there's bound to be

-confusion in any idea.

-Any sense of anger

-seems unimaginable

-I'm sorry, but who are you filming?

-Oh, excuse me

-Well, you're from NIS, right?

-We're not trying

-to identify you.

-I just wanted to talk to you

-We're just going to quote you later

-He was assaulted at

the confederation center

-Check the outcome of the trial.

-He was violent

-and involved in tampering

-That's the cliams

-Isn't there a lot of discrepancy

with the facts?

-Well, Once..

-judge's decision is made,

-please confirm it

-It's a violation of portrait rights.

-I mean..

-Give me a business card

-Sure will do

-Yeah, let me take it

-Now!

-Yes, here it is

-Ah..

-Give me a business card!

-Ah.. I mean..

-I told you!

-You may tell me

-Let me get a business card!

-Your business card!

-I told you!

-We just cover it

-business card!

-No one is allowed to violate portrait right

-Let me give you the business card.

-Here it is

-Your business card

-Ah...

-What the hell is it?

-Why are you taking pictures

-in the middle of the night in Korea?

-No, we're just covering it

-Prosecutor, what should I do in this case?

-Come here

-Actually, we...

-Oh, us?

-There's no way NIS can check it

-There's no way to check...

-The prosecutor should have verified

-that there was no problem

with the NIS investigation

-But he says he stopped Ga-ryeo

-from telling the truth

-When I told him the truth,

he was surprised and asked for

-We're not supposed to tell

Otherwise, we can't help

-Do not talk like this..

-He said it over and over again

-I talked to the prosecutor

but he said..

-Yes

-"If you do that, I can't help you."

-So..

-He says I've reversed myself

-He hasn't said anything about it yet

-That's exactly what the record says.

-It is well recorded during

the interrogation process.

-So I might not have mentioned it

-The prosecutor gave hope that

-Yoo Ga-ryeo could live with

her brother in Korea

-if he made a good statement

2013. 3. 5.

Yoo Woo-sung's first trial (actual recording)

2013. 3. 5.

-If he states all the sins he is guilty of,

-and tell the truth,

she could live with her brother

Judge: Is it Korea or China

where you can live?

-It's Korea

Lawyer: Did you know that it's a lie

to say that you can live in Korea?

-I have no choice but to

raise an objection to that

-Mr. Prosecutor!

-From the morning...

-Please listen to me

-Prosecutor!

-Yes, first of all...

-You can't say that's a lie

-It's a lie

Prosecutor: Not humane even for the sake of

maintaining the indictment. I honestly wrote it

-I'll try to devise a way to acquire a position

where I can stay to maintain prosecution

-It is very different from the truth that

we have made up lies for

-conciliatory purposes regarding deportation.

I express considerable regret for that

-I came to Korea because I wanted to

live with my brother,

-but I have to leave him in prison

-"Destination Qingdao"

-Bye

-Ga-ryeo, Bye

-Yes

-Yoo Ga-ryeo was eventually deported

-The coverage of Han Jong-soo's case

has rarely progressed

-Han's friend came

-to visit the cemetery

-'Han Jongsoo without relationship'

-'Dec 13th, 2011'

-From the city's point of view,

-cremating the body can also be

-considered a cost.

-Oh.. The body wasn't cremated

-They say the body is buried without it

-Everybody here

-Let's pour him some soju and leave

-Was he a smoker?

-He was a smoking person

-I think NIS tried to hide about Han Jongsoo

-His name isn't Han Jongsoo, is it?

-Right

-It's not his name, is it?

-It could be intentional at the national level

-Understandable

-What does an actual name matter?

-His name is Han Junsik, right?

-No reason for him to use his borrowed name

when he's filling out some paperwork

-Is there any reason for him

to use a different name in Korea?

-No, I don't think so.

-Not only me,

-but all his acquaintances

know him as Junsik.

-Yes,right

-So they don't know him as a "Jongsu"?

-Sure

-What is his birth date?

-birth date?

-I don't know exactly his birthdate

-When I was in China,

I thought he was born in 1974

-born in 1974?

-Yes

-He was born in 1974

-NIS marked his birthday as August 15th

-August 15th...

-August 15, 1976

-They took care of it

-Hey, I'll be back on Chuseok

-I know this place, so I can come back

-Let's have dinner together

-I have a favor to ask of you.

-What do you think of Daelim?

-Sure, I'm fine

-Greaat

-Han Junsik had a daughter who

left her in N.Korea

-He tried to send money and clothes

-to his daughter before leaving China

-Yoo Woo-sung told his friend

who went to and from N.Korea

-that he was leaving for Hunchun.

-And he offered to give his daughter

money and clothes.

-He said he would send money because

he was going to leave with his friend anyway.

-In Hunchun, his friend runs a coal sales,

so he gave him money and clothes.

-When I met his friend,

he told me that behind story

-In conclusion, what you said was that

-he asked his friend in Hunchun

-to deliver clothes and money

-for his daughter.

-What did the investigators

at the Joint Newspaper Center

-try to confirm to you?

-They asked me if there was any possibility

that Han Jun-sik had traveled to N.Korea

-They asked me if there was any possibility

-that he would go into N.Korea

and give them something and receive a mission

-Any possibility?

-They're asking me to imagine

if I could cross over N.Korea

-They doubt if I could go to N.Korea

for goods instead of his friend

-Their suspicions are that he won't ask

his friend for a gift for his daughter

-Otherwise, they suspected that

he might have entered N.Korea himself

-We followed Han's whereabouts

and went to Yanji Road in China

-We met someone who knew Han well

-He told an unexpected story

-I'm cold-hearted

-These two, in particular,

-Junsik and Woosung have been

as close as their own brothers

-since they came from

North Korea together.

-They went all the way to Beijing

to go to America

-and eventually came back

-They went all the way to

Beijing at that time

-They left to enter

the U.S. Embassy in Beijing

-You can jump over a fence to get in

-Did they go all the way

to the embassy in Beijing?

-He drove to the embassy nearby

-I stopped the car in front of the fence

-and came up with a strategy

to block the police when they came

-We headed towards the embassy,

but it was hard to access because of many cops

-You planned it in detail

-Yeah. The plan was to stop and

step on top of the car to jump over

-If there's a problem,

it'll be over in a few days' detention

-The first time I went,

I went against the US

-But failed many times

-If Han was really a spy,

-why would he want to go to

the U.S. instead of Korea?

If you decide, you can do it!

-It was very dangerous to

cross the border and go back to North Korea

-and go back to North Korea

-He said there was a woman

that Mr. Han used to be close to

-She may know if Han has been to

-North Korea

-We were looking for her

-But to summarize stories,

-Yes

-It's been a year and a half

-since the woman who

-ran the business with the boss quit.

-Do you know anyone who worked

a year and a half ago?

-I don't know

-Can you reach them?

-No

-Ah you're not involved anything

-Right

-'Nothing possible'..

-If you say you don't know..

-Anyway

-There's no chance

-I feel empty, huh?

-Pardon?

-Very empty..

-NIS and prosecutors submitted

records of border entry issued by

North Korea twice in 2006

by the security forces and

Lee

Consulate General of Shenyang

an official request

-We inquired about it through an official letter

to the Hwaryong City Public Security Bureau.

an official letter to us.

to the prosecution

did not back down

Hong Kang Chul is not guilty

-In the end, Hong Kang Chul

was found not guilty

-If NIS takes North Korean defectors

and consider them spies, why bring us?

Otherwise,impossible

-I would have just rotted in prison

-Unfortunately, NIS misbehavior and

-inadequate management loopholes

-have been exposed.

-To prevent this from happening again,

- NIS will make

-a bone-cutting effort

-If we lose the trust

of the people again,

-we'll hold him accountable

-However, Kim Ki-choon,

a close aide to the president,

-has been criticized for

-his involvement in espionage operations

-The prosecutor's appeal

has been rejected

-Oh Congraturations

-Ha...

-Thanks!

-Thanks

-Congraturations

-Yes, please tell us how you feel

-Of course I'm innocent,

-but it took me 40 years to get this result

-Forty years ago, in 1975

-He came to study in his home country

-and was taken to the basement

- of Namsan CIA

CIA

-They take off their underwear,

-and they're starting to beat hard

-Three or four people

-surrounding,

-hold me to my genitals.

-I couldn't move it

-They're just trying to burn

with a cigarette, and then..

-Penis?

-Right

-They're threatening me

-if they want to see me robbing

-my girlfriend in front of me

-They say they can even rob

my mother-in-law.

-That's what they said

-I really begged them

-"I'll listen to everything,

so don't do that."

-I was framed as a spy,

-and I thought there was no way

I could survive

-I bit my tongue thinking,

-"I should end my life"

-I thought I'd get cut off

if I bit my tongue.

- But the tongue was really thick.

-I kept bleeding

-The stronger the force of

biting my tongue, the harder it felt

-So it just left me in pain,

-and I think I made an involuntary

-"UGH" sound

-People around me ran to me

-because of this weird sound.

-From outside

-I ended up failing to commit suicide

- and being exhausted

-So I didn't have the energy

-to resist and I became

completely desperate.

-Anyway, what I thought amid it,

-"If I trust them,

-they will let me out of here."

-I asked them to promise me to

get out of here

-because I would obey any word.

-I was forced to confess that

I had been to North Korea.

-And then when the staff asked me

to write that down,

-I asked, "What do I write?"

-They gave me a guide to

making statements,

-and the perfect scenario that

-they wanted was constructed.

-Yes

-Lee Chul's fiancee was also arrested

-on suspicion of not reporting a spy

-His father died that day

-at the age of 53.

-His mother died three years later

-When I turned 53,

-I felt sorry

-for my father.

-at the age of 56

-I cried a lot because

-I felt sorry for my mother.

-I lost my parents

-so early and

-I still..

-have a heavy guilt

-Despite the many incidents

revealed by the fabrication,

-Perpetrators were not responsible

-We met Kim Ki-choon

-Sir, good to see you

-Yes

-How are you?

-I'm good

-I'm here to report

-from Newstapa.

-We're also on the business trip in Japan,

-so we came here

- to say hello to you

-and discuss some issues

-We're going to Japan right now.

-You issued a statement in person

-in Osaka on November 22, 1975

-It was an announcement about

-an academy infiltration spy group

-When?

-It was November 22, 1975

-You were head of the anti-aircraft

investigation at the time

-This case was 40 years ago

-in academy infiltration spy group

-The victims gathered in 40 years

and held an event.

-Don't film it

-So we went to cover it

-I just wanted to ask you..

-Stop it

- because you happened to be

here on the way

-Do you remember anything

about the incident?

-No

-There are also female victims who

-were raped by

-members of the CIA at the time.

-I don't think that's what happened

-The trial found them all innocent

-I don't know

-This is a document that

-he wrote when he was head of

the anti-aircraft investigation.

-I'd like to inquire about this

-The memo says not to expose

-the date when the suspected spy

left for North Korea.

"Kim Ki-chun"

-Why did Director Kim Ki-choon instruct

-to hide the most important evidence?

-My brother took me to

-the department store

-to buy me a watch.

-But on the day I bought it,

-It is recorded that

I was staying in North Korea

-Don't you have a warranty

on the watch you buy?

-The date on the guarantee proves

-the truth about my alibi

-At the time, Tokyo Lawyers Association

announced that case had been fabricated

-after investigating the espionage

cases of Koreans living in Japan

-The lawyer's association also

announced Lee Chul's case,

-The lawyer's association also

announced Lee Chul's case,

- and the Korean Embassy in Japan

reported it

-It's highly likely that

the CIA manipulated it

-In this situation, Kim Ki-choon

-sends a handwritten memo to

-Director of the Ministry of

Foreign Affairs, Aju

-Please take security measures considering

that the date of entry into North Korea

-Please take security measures considering

that the date of entry into North Korea

-the date of entry into North Korea

-is used as an alibi manipulation data

-I'm telling you not to reveal it

-This is.. at that time..

-Yes

-Kim Ki-choon, director of the

CIA's anti-aircraft investigation,

-It's supposed to be a memo from

him to Aju

-I think it's a request not to expose

-information such as the date of entry

-because it can be used to

-manipulate the alibi.

-In fact, it seems to be the same as

-indirectly admitting that

-they have been involved

-in a fabricated crime.

-Isn't it obvious clue?

-Please take a look at this

-Isn't it the handwriting that

-you wrote back then?

-Isn't it?

-I don't remember

-Right?

-I don't remember

-I'm sorry

-I'm sorry to bother you

-In fact, it's a public thing

for many people,

-and this is not a pre-planned interview.

-I can't respond to

-your sudden request.

-anymore

-Aren't you a lawyer?

-Through a retrial,

-many people were found not

- guilty of espionage

-I never manipulated it as a spy.

Stop it

-So you still think they're spies?

-It has nothing to do with me

because it's done by the judiciary.

-You were in charge of the

-investigation at the time

-I've never investigated it.

Stop it

-Have a safe trip

-Thanks

-You're being asked this question

-because you've played such an

important role in history

-And you have a duty

-to answer questions

-I have nothing more to say

-Yes, sir

-Forty years later, they haven't changed

-Did you bring the document with

-the seal of the Yeongil City

Public Security Bureau?

-Producer Choi will know

when his opinion is stated

-because it is the final decision

-at today's trial.

-By the way,

-Yes

-Why didn't you independently

verify this case

-when we raised it as a hoax?

-Listen carefully when

-making a statement at the trial

- at the trial

-You submitted forged evidence

-and claimed that the accused

was a spy.

-Didn't you feel sorry?

-Listen carefully at the trial

-I mean..

-See you at the trial

-How do you feel about the defendant?

-Like I said,

-Listen carefully at the trial

-I want you to judge it calmly

-Sure..

-Please do that

-Sure.. but

-Don't you ever feel sorry?

-See me at trial

-I recommend you to listen to

my opinion coldly

-Far from apologizing, the prosecution

kept bothering Yoo Woo-sung

-Put your bag down

-Now, move back a little bit

-They brought up a question that's

already been suspended

-In the end, those involved in

Yu Woo-sung spy manipulation case

-were punished lightly

-The prosecutors were only

suspended for a month

-Most NIS employees were suspended

2015. 10. 29.
