#96: Kidnapped By North Korea Part 2 (Case of Choi Eun-hee)

And the couple’s lives depended on how good of a movie they could make. (Please listen to Part 1 before this episode!)

But before entering the hospital she stood over her suffering son and took a picture. What would she caption this one? Maybe she would mention how this was going to be his 13th surgery. Yeah, that would be good. The followers would eat that up.
