Our 20 20 investigation with body woodruff, one of the few journalists ever to visit the kingdom. Three continents in three months. What were seeing is there he is walking in to the airport. Those still in danger. My father has been killed a few days ago. Those who fear for the families that this game of thrones could kill. Entire family, theyre all killed. A dynasty, a murder, and a shadowy kingdom. Im david muir. Im Elizabeth Vargas and this is 20 20. You could not have had a crazier story. It was like a movie, it really was. It was not sloppy. It was planned. It was executed in a professional way. And it was done exactly how they wanted to do it to make a statement. Its embarrassing to have a murder of this magnitude take place in your international airport. The way he died was the most gruesome, painful way that one could die. Reporter Kuala Lumpur International. The largest and Busiest Airport in malaysia. Somewhere in this sea of humanity is a man going by the name kim chol. He supposed to be departing for mchl acau. What he doesnt realize is hes about to die. Watch as airport surveillance captures the middle aged man casually dressed in a tshirt and blazer, checking his flight information. From a different angle, you can see he is now under attack. One of two alleged assassins approaches from behind to smear something on the victims face. The dazed man seeks medical assistance inside the terminal but time is running out. He will be dead before he ever reaches the hospital. Hes, like, a chubby middleaged man walking through that airport. And then suddenly, two young women just grab him by the face and spread some type of chemical on him. Indeed. It was called vx, nerve agent. Reporter one of the alleged assassins departs the terminal via taxi. Shes wearing a shirt that says l. O. L. It was very focused. It was very specifically targeted at just getting this one man. Reporter why target him . Because hes actually north korean royalty. Hes also traveling with a fake passport. His real name . Kim jong nam, halfbrother to the most enigmatic leader in the world, kim jong un. The alarming claim from north korea. Responded in kind with threats of new missile tests. A horrific cycle of violence. Reporter 20 20s threemonth investigation into the ties between this unlikely pairing took us from malaysia to tokyo, to switzerland, to macau. We uncovered what appears to be a cain and abel like tale that reveals hidden insights into the mysterious dictator. And the lifelong rivalry with the brother once considered to be the rightful heir to the north korean throne. Some people believe that his kim jongun perceived him as a rival. Reporter think of it as east asias version of game of thrones where the storyline is always about power and who has it and who wants it. The kim dynasty has ruled north korea with an iron fist for 70 years, remaining isolated and secretive, by design according to former cia analyst sue mi terry. How much do the people in north korea know about their leaders . Very little about their personal lives, or how they grew up, and what they do. Nothing thats beyond propaganda. Reporter according to north korean legend, the kim family sprang from here, majestic mt. Paektu, that straddles north korea and china. Kim jonguns grandfather and father are often depicted standing on top of the mountain. They say he was born here. Reporter its beautiful for sure as i learned when i climbed to the top on the chinese side last year. The myth may be legendary, but the reality touristy. No leaders, just followers as we made our way to the top. Oh mah china reporter the sacred family tree of the kim dynasty starts with kim il sung, north koreas founder. Their great leader. His offspring, kim jong il. Esteemed as the dear leader, known for his bizarre haircut and penchant for jump suits and platform shoes. But it is the Third Generation of the bloodline where three Young Brothers first appear. And it is the oldest, kim jongnam who was destined to one day lead. Finding interview subjects to discuss the early years of kim jongnam is easier said than done. Because before they can talk, they have to escape. This is downtown toronto. Weve found one defector reporter his name is lee youngguk and for 11 years, he was kim jong ils bodyguard. How did you become a bodyguard for kim jong il . Based on personality, character, morals, and stamina. I was selected out of 14,000 people. It was a 14,000 to 1 competition. Reporter lee was able to watch as the oldest son, jong nam was groomed as a potential successor, seen here dressed in military clothes as a child. Did kim jong il have a Good Relationship with kim jong nam, his eldest son . Kim jong il raised him and took him around himself. Kim jong nam had a good personality. He was chubby with a friendly personality, and was very humane. Reporter for someone who routinely and publically displayed a hatred of the u. S. And its capitalist ways, kim jong il had a bizarre fixation with western culture, especially its movies. He loved everything from rambo to dumbo. And when it came to the educations of his children, king jong il shipped them far off from their backward and isolated homeland, to switzerland jong nam ended up at this International School in geneva, where the western education had a profound influence on him. We understood that kim jongnam, as a young man, was more reform minded, prowestern, liked western things. And thought north korea was on a wrong path. Reporter it was all just a matter of time, experts said, before kim jong nam would one day be the natural heir to the family dynasty. But then he blew it. In 2001, kim jong nam was caught at an airport in tokyo, trying to enter with a fake passport to visit tokyo disneyland. The name he used, pang xiong, means fat bear in mandarin. Makes no difference who you are reporter apparently it made a big difference to the north korean regime. Japan is one of the enemy countries of north korea, so to be caught in japan, trying to enter japan with a fake passport, this was a huge embarrassment to the regime. Reporter the fat bear quickly fell out of favor and was sent packing to macau where he remained a definite but distant threat. He understood that he posed a threat to kim jongun. So, he feared for his safety, he feared for his life, so he didnt want to go back to north korea. Reporter coming up kim jong un at the crossroads. How eric clapton inadvertently helps set the stage for the leader of north korea. When we return.

S. North korea testing a powerful missile. Reporter mocked by President Trump. Little rocket man. Reporter even lampooned in the seth rogandirected comedy the interview. You know whats more destructive than a Nuclear Obama . Words. They hate us. Reporter but the story most americans dont know is how kim jong un beat out two older brothers to win the north korean game of thrones. But to understand the tale of the brothers you first have to understand the tale of their mothers. Kim jongnams mother was the first and real wife of kim jongil. North koreans differentiate the real wife as a first wife, and that anybody that comes after is just kind of a mistress. Reporter and in fact, it is a mistress who gives birth to the current north Korean Leader, kim jong un, as well as another son named jong chol. According to that bodyguard life for the illegitimate kim jongun is one of silence and shame. His existence was a secret. Kim jong il built hidden houses for his concubines. It was similar to house arrest. Reporter the bodyguard says that isolation left its mark on the young boy. He was stressed and had no one to play with his own age. There were only adults, who educated and played with him. Was he a young boy who felt everything was coming his way . He was quicktempered. He doesnt care about what others think. He doesnt feel sorry for other people. He does whatever he wants. Reporter lee says the lonely child did have a special treat rare visits to the kim familys monumental vacation resort in the town of wonsan restricted to all outsiders. It has its own landing strip, private beach, even its own soccer stadium. There is no one in this world who has felt as much pleasure as the kims dynasty. Reporter just like his more legitimate halfbrother, kim jong un is shipped off to switzerland for his education ending up here in 1996 in the stately swiss capital of bern. Kim lives in this unassuming apartment complex under the watchful eye of his moms sister and attend this International School. Hard to find anybody that met him. To get the inside scoop on kims unlikely life in switzerland we caught up in tokyo with Washington Post bureau chief anna fifield. Fifield landed an exclusive interview with kims caretaker aunt, who defected to the u. S. , now running a dry cleaning store and unwilling to have her face shown. He wasnt very interested in doing his lessons. He had kids over to play, he went in the, you know, family minivan off to the Swimming Pool and things. So, it sounds like he did have a relatively normal life. Reporter still inside that modest apartment classmates find signs that theres Something Special about their asian friend. He had all of the latest technology, which at the time in the 90s, was a mini disc player. He also had access to a lot of films before they were released in the cinema like jackie chan movies, Jeanclaude Van Damme was another favorite. And he also had these very fancy, nike air shoes that cost like 200 and the extraordinary amount of money at the time. Reporter those expensive shoes indicate that the 12 year old korean is passionate about an american sport basketball. He is especially obsessed with Michael Jordans Chicago Bulls. His aunt told me it was Kim Jong Nams mother encouraged him to take up basketball because there is this belief among korean mothers that if you play basketball you will grow up to be tall. Reporter although he only grew to be five and half feet tall every single day after school, young kim would race to the Basketball Court to play with the local kids. He would practice and practice and practice. What he didnt have in natural talent he made up in determination. And he was seen wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey all the time. Reporter so just how did this basketballcrazed kid end up as the Supreme Leader of north korea . Reporter well as youll recall that older half brother, kim jong nam was apparently taken out of the running after his illadvised attempt to sneak into disneyland. His humiliating fall from grace leaves a huge opening on the other side of the family tree for the sons of the mistress. Kim jonguns mother, i hear, was a very ambitious woman, and that once kim jongnam got caught in this very embarrassing situation, sneaking into japan, that she capitalized on that and used that to promote her own children. Reporter the logical next son in line is kim jong uns older brother jong chol. But he would be the next domino to fall he, too, was undone by a fixation with western culture namely the music of eric clapton. He embarrassed the regime after he was repeatedly caught sneaking into clapton concerts here he is in 2015 being snuck into a concert in london by a north korean diplomat. He doesnt have a right temperament, the characteristics. Thats what his father thought. Reporter that leaves the path clear for the youngest son kim jong un, the only one not to publicly embarrass his father. And those aggressive qualities he displayed as a child now impress kim jong il. He had a little bit of a tough streak in him, and thats what his father liked about kim jongun, that he was strong, that he was that he acted like a leader. Reporter and soon enough its clear for the world to see kim jong un is positioned to be the future ruler of north korea. When we return kims obsession with the Chicago Bulls pays dividends an Unlikely Alliance with the one american who got close enough to call him friend. Tells you a lot about our friendship here. Reporter and what could be the last straw for that errant halfbrother. What he does that makes him kims sworn enemy. Stay with us. Keep it comin love. Keep it comin love.

Reporter december, 2011. North korea says goodbye to dear leader kim jong il, as 27year old kim jong un, one of the pallbearers at his fathers funeral, assumes the leadership of his country. But he is as much a mystery to North Koreans as he is to the west, who hope he will herald change. I dont think we know too much about this person thats the leader of north korea right now. Reporter but one thing is clear kim takes a very different public path than his reclusive and eccentric father, patterning himself instead on his legendary grandfather kim il sung. It is no accident that kim jongun has put on all this weight, and has got the same haircut, and very often wears the same clothes as his grandfather. And smiles the same. Smiles the same, everything is very obviously designed to remind North Koreans that, you know, not only does he have this divine right to be the leader of north korea, but that he can make life better for North Koreans. There he is. Waving out to the crowd. Reporter during my reporting trips to north korea, i was never allowed to get close to the enigmatic leader. Have to stay within five feet of each other . Here, when he suddenly showed up at this Museum Opening and caused a frenzy among the press, we didnt a chance to ask any questions. It turns out, one outsider with firsthand knowledge and personal contact with the north Korean Leader isnt a diplomat or an american spy. Its this man. The only american known to have become close to kim after he assumed power. The flamboyant former nba star and chicago bull dennis rodman. His latest attempt to get into north korea, sponsored by a Company Called potcoin. Rodman made International Headlines when he visited north korea in 2013 along with a vice tv crew, at the invitation of the Chicago Bullsobsessed leader. At a goodwill basketball game, rodman was seen talking intently with kim. Later, rodman and his entourage got the surprise of their lives, an invitation to party with the mystery man. So since you had the chance to, i mean just to shake his hand and talk to him. How is his english . Did you speak english to him . He said hi. He said okay now. But, but he has no, no english at all. So it looks, i mean it looks like you guys are talking here but this just, hes just speaking through his interpreter. No his, so every time we you see us talk like this, were talking about basketball and he always asked me, said, dude, i would love to go to new york, but i cant. He says stuff like that. What was he like . Did he seem serious or. Hes always smiling, man. Hes all, hes always smiling. Especially when we youre around his, his comfort zone. In terms of basketball, did he play basketball at all . He said dennis, lets play horse. So we go to free throw line. He hits that. I said all right. I missed the free throw, of course. And then next thing you know, he goes on other side of the corner over there, and he hits. I said dude, this guy can shoot. Reporter rodman has visited kim three times now. And was one of the privileged few allowed to visit that Luxury Resort that kim used to visit as a child. He rode horses with the dictator, met his wife and baby daughter, and partied late into the night. It was like 70 people at this big round table, man, like wow, i mean. And everybody had they turn with, they had a shot of vodka. Take a vodka shot. And then theyd try to say karaoke it was like with, with, a round table. Its 70 people trying to sing karaoke. How is he as a singer . Hes pretty good. What did he sing . He was singing frank sinatra, my way. He sang my way . Yeah, he had this girl band. Like 14 girls. They travel with him everywhere, to play his music and stuff. So he had the lyrics and a screen. He was reading it in english. Nah. He would do, he was singing it in, in all korean. Reporter rodman makes no apologies for his embrace of a dictator who lives the high life while so many of his countrymen suffer in misery. Its a friendship hug. You rarely see this in the world. Even with his grandfather and father. You dont see the leaders do this, especially an african american. You never see this in the north korea. But its a country with a lot of starvation now, too though. Is that okay . Well, you know, a lot of, a lot of people in the world are starving. Even though they say hes a bad man but he, to me, hes not a bad man. I didnt see that part. Reporter rodman may not think kims bad, but theres someone else who has serious concerns about him. His errant and disgraced halfbrother kim jong nam. He and his family are living in the tiny chinese territory of macau, known as a mecca of gambling and glitz. The city provided security. Many people i talked to in macau believed that um, kim jongnam and his family were in macau under beijings protection. Reporter but even in exile, kim jongnam still worries about the fate of the north Korean People under the rule of his halfbrother. And perhaps unwisely, he begins speaking out. In tokyo, i met one of the few he confided to japanese journalist yoji gomi. How did you get a chance to meet kim jong nam . I came across him at beijing airport. I am very surprised, i start interviewed him, a lot of questions at the time. Reporter gomi landed a rare interview with the elusive kim at a macau restaurant. I learned a lesson not to do reckless and immature acts. I made a big mistake so it somehow aroused fathers anger. Reporter but perhaps the most reckless of his acts was criticizing his brothers rule. In a series of published email exchanges with gomi, kim wrote the kim jong un regime will not last long. Without reforms, north korea will collapse, and when such changes take place, the regime will collapse. Kim jong nam said to me, north korea should be reformed and make north Korean People more rich and happier. Its a message to kim jong un. Reporter but do those comments make kim jong nam a marked man . Coming up, the north korean dictator goes on a killing spree. And not even his own family members are safe from his wanton cruelty. Nobody did it this brutally, this barbarically. Kim jongun used antiaircraft machine guns. You cannot even bury a dead body, because there is no dead body, it has just been obliterated.

And at Santander Bank respect adds up. Reporter you havent seen a parade until youve been to north korea. Every year we try to spot anything new. Reporter i have seen firsthand how kim jong un plays the part of the smiling, benevolent leader. The last time i was here that was his father doing the exact same thing. Reporter but in 2013, that beaming man turned out to be a wolf in sheeps clothing when he did something that appalled the world. We head to north korea. The news of the execution has stunned this region of the world. Reporter in front of a meeting of the north korean politburo, he publicly arrested his own uncle, jang song thaek, a powerful figure known for being reformminded and close to china. Accused of corruption, jang was executed, reportedly blown to pieces by an antiaircraft gun in public. I was shocked that kim jongun got rid of his uncle so brutally, so publically. So that ruthlessness shocked me. Reporter and the killing of his uncle was just the start. In 2015 it was revealed that kim was unhappy with the head of the countrys armed forces for complaining, talking back, and the greatest sin of all, falling asleep during a meeting. The countrys top defense official has reportedly been executed because he fell asleep during a meeting. Reporter kim reportedly had him publically executed, again by a favored method, blasted to kingdom come with an antiaircraft gun. Why do you think that kim jongun is so much more violent and in some ways unpredictable compared to his father . I think its a combination of his own character, his own temperament, and the environment because he is less legitimate so i think he does have this deep insecurity in terms of being able to rule and consolidate power. Reporter the gangsterstyle korean strongman embracing his inner gunslinger for the cameras. Off camera, launching a Ruthless Campaign of terror, killing anyone suspected of being disloyal. Remember those pallbearers alongside kim jongun at his fathers funeral . One by one, these former elites have vanished from public life, retired, missing, or executed. This man, ri jong ho, was one of the most important officials in north korea, running the office that raised foreign cash for the kim family. He fled to the west with his wife and two children. He says he was terrified that they too would fall victim to kims wholesale slaughter of the elite. If you get caught, you and your entire family can get executed simultaneously. So people dont even think to do anything because theyre too scared. How else can i prevail against so many enemies . Reporter even hollywood paid a price when it mocked the north Korean Leader in the movie the interview. Kim was not amused. According to u. S. Intelligence, he ordered a hack of sonys computers, and threatened terror attacks on theaters that dared to show the film. One of this largest theater chains says it is pulling the plug on the interview. This is hitting sony in the wallet. He doesnt have great sense of humor in terms of people making fun of him. Reporter it doesnt take much to tick off the dictator. As a Young American student named Otto Warmbier discovered. Breaking new overnight. An American College student reporter 20 20 reported extensively on the case last june, devoting an entire program to warmbiers plight. He was arrested while perpetrating a hostile act. They are not saying anymore than that. Reporter accused of stealing a propaganda poster. I never should have allowed myself to be allured by the United States administration. To commit a crime in this country. Reporter sentenced to 15 years hard labor, but after a year, the North Koreans send him home. They wouldnt do this out of the kindness of their hearts. North korea doesnt do anything out of the kindness of their hearts. Reporter it turns out the 22 year old had suffered a brain injury and fallen into a coma while imprisoned in north korea. Six days after he got home. Their son who has returned from north korea with severe brain damage has now died. Reporter meanwhile, defectors say the dictator tightens the screws on anyone associated with his big brother. The people who were related somehow with kim jongnam. Anyone around kim jongnam who helped him, anyone who had even a few meals with him, anyone who had a relationship with him at all was executed. Reporter back in macau, where he was living a life of elegant exile with his family, kim jong nam knew he was now in extreme danger from his murderous halfbrother. According to some people i talked to in macau, he did fear for his life. He knew that his brother was after him. Reporter then it is february 13th 2017. And heres kim, about to walk right into the arms of his alleged assassins. When we come back a termination in terminal two the surprising backstory of the suspected murderous millennials. They killed him with their hands. They tricked them into committing a murder. Reporter what does a tv show prank have to do with it .

Its a modern facility, not so much as a whiff of jetfuel or foreign intrigue in the air. And yet, look at this Surveillance Footage obtained by fuji tv of a fatal morning in february 2017, the airport assassination unfolding before your eyes. Yeah. So what were seeing here is kim jongnam walking to the kuala lumpur airport. Reporter Foreign Correspondent doug clark dug into the case for gq magazine. He points out kim entering the terminal, traveling light, except for the cash. There was 120,000 wrapped in very nice, neat bricks in his backpack. And there is some speculation that he came to malaysia to meet with foreign intelligence services. Reporter he studies the departure board, unaware he is about to miss the last flight of his life, oblivious to the plot later exposed by malaysian authorities, a death squad of north korean spies and two young women recruited to carry out the killing. Everyones already in position. Theyve been following him for hours. And he has no idea whats coming. Reporter abc news consultant and former fbi agent brad garrett says it is a brazen public hit. You have the cameras, you have the cops, and you have the public to tell you what just happened. So it is an extremely risky thing to do. It was an incredibly elaborate plot. It took months, maybe even years to set up. Reporter the story, as Malaysian Police and prosecutors later reveal it, involves 28yearold doan thi huong, from vietnam, and 25yearold siti aisyah, from indonesia. Weeks before the hit, clark says, siti is recruited outside this kuala lumpur nightclub by a man who appears briefly in a video she later posted on facebook. Clark says the man calls himself james. He and his colleagues claim to be producers auditioning the women for a hiddencamera tv show. Sort of like americas funniest home videos or something similar, in which they were told that they would be filmed while putting various substances on the faces of strangers. Clark says the women did not know each other. He says the producers keep them separate as they rehearse the inyourface prank in highend malls and hotels around kuala lumpur and elsewhere. They even took her to the airport, and they had her do dry runs there. Reporter the money is good, at least 100 per prank. But there is no tv show. Authorities say the producers are north korean spies with murder in mind. The day of the final act, a Security Camera captures siti in a coffee shop, seemingly without a care in the world, accepting cash from a man with a selfie stick ready to capture the final prank. So hes walking through this airport. And then, when he comes up to the kiosk to check in, hes flanked he is. Reporter by two women, one on each side, right and left. Siti aisyah, the indonesian woman who struck first, wiped her hands across his face, stepped back. And then the second woman, the vietnamese woman, immediately wiped her hands across his face as well. Reporter the dirty work takes just seconds. Authorities say the women smear kims face with something provided by the north korean agents. This time, the substance is not harmless. It is vx, one of the deadliest nerve agents known to man. And if its not counteracted almost immediately, you are going to die within a few minutes. Reporter one theory is each woman was provided with one half of a special formulation of the poison that only became deadly when combined. All it would take is a single drop. And they wiped it across his eyes, his nose, his mouth to get it into his system and then used potentially a second person with another chemical to activate it. Reporter as the last minutes of his life tick away, kim approaches airport workers at an information desk. He is concerned enough to rudely interrupt a conversation to get their attention. No one seems to really understand the gravity of the moment. The poison is seeping into his body. Reporter clark points out this man at the edge of the frame on the Security Camera. He says its one of the north korean spies, still tailing kim. The North Koreans made sure that they had eyes on him every second. Reporter speaking with police, kim gestures to his face. And reports of this moment say that he wasnt really making much sense anymore. He was having trouble sort of holding a coherent conversation. Reporter they reportedly later say they notice a strange smell. You can see them take a step back. They escort kim to the airport medical clinic. By this time the poison is already taking effect, causing every muscle to spasm, which explains that suddenly stiff walk. And already his legs are starting to stiffen. Hes got a little duck waddle going. This isnt sort of that healthy man we saw just moments ago. Reporter again, clark points out a man with a rollerbag and a strange interest in kim. You can see him just sort of strolling very, very casually. Hes going to take a quick glance, and then hes going to keep going. Reporter he says its another agent making sure the poison is doing its work, which it is. Minutes later, kim dies in an ambulance. Those spies immediately, after the hit, went to passport control, cleared passport control before the malaysian authorities had any idea what was going on, got on their flights and escaped the country. Reporter as for the two women, after smearing kims face, they had simply walked away. They did not run. They walk straight into the bathroom to wash their hands. Malaysian prosecutors have said that this is evidence that the women knew what they were doing. The womens defense is that they had been told by their north korean handlers that they should wash this substance off afterwards. Reporter the women, who had made no attempt to hide their faces from airport Security Cameras, are arrested within two days. Six weeks later, malaysia returns kims body to north korea. About the same time i too was returning to north korea and when my flight landed we were met by an ambulance. Workers loaded it with a casket from the cargo hold, raising the chilling possibility that we had unknowingly accompanied kim jongnam on his final journey home to the land of his ancestors.
