in case his cover was blown.

Soon Alejandro would spring another surprise on the mole,

but first a piece of nostalgia.

You see, going to North Korea with Alejandro as my tour guide

back in 2006 left a long-lasting impression on me.

Apparently I had also left a long-lasting impression

on Alejandro Cao de Benos

and so had my first documentary about North Korea, The Red Chapel.

The film stars two Danish-Korean comedians who go to Pyongyang

and lampoon the leadership,

which means that I am not Mr Popular in North Korea any more.

HE SPEAKS ANOTHER LANGUAGE

Sarcasm aside, Alejandro Cao de Benos is a man who thinks big.

During the meeting in Barcelona, Alejandro tells the mole

of an ambitious plan for a triangle deal

involving Mr James, North Korea and a Jordanian businessman.

Which is...?

If the mole could get Mr James to Spain, Alejandro will introduce him

to his plans for triangular trading.

HE COUGHS AND LAUGHS

Hmm.

LAUGHTER

So my two proxies, the mole and Mr James,

went to Jordan to find out if there really is a man named

El Dasouki who wants to triangle with them and North Korea.

Have a nice day.

BELL RINGS

I guess that's the food.

Yeah, sure, sure, sure.

ANNIE: So was the contract actually signed?

They signed the contract.

For how much?

NAME BLEEPED OUT

Here, El Dasouki mentions a major Jordanian power broker,

but, due to legal reasons, his name cannot be disclosed.

Next, the mole was asked to go to Sweden

because a package was waiting for him to be picked up

at the North Korean embassy in Stockholm.

Like my sort of movie!

So...

Thank you for the ride.

Then, in this tale of intrigue and deception,

a new character made his appearance.

It was Mr Ju, a North Korean envoy who came to Copenhagen

to do business with Mr James.

Last time the world met Mr Ju was on the Australian version

of 60 Minutes, where he acts as a smiling mouthpiece

for the regime in Pyongyang.

LAUGHTER

And did Alejandro know about this deal as well?

Now the North Koreans would discover

that Denmark also is a very alcoholised country.

Chin-chin!

Had Mr James chosen to honour the contract he signed in Copenhagen,

he would have to wire millions of dollars to El Dasouki

in Jordan as payment for oil to North Korea.

In return, North Korea would deliver manpower and products

to the island of Mr James and so goes the triangle trade.

From his office in Jordan, El Dasouki was now

threatening legal action unless Mr James honoured their contract

and showed him the money.

Meanwhile, the North Korean weapons dealer, Mr Danny,

who we met in Uganda, was pushing for a meeting with Mr James

in order to "speed up" the business.

They met in a hotel in Cambodia,

where Mr James was taken to the next level in the circle of trust.

GUNSHOTS

In Cambodia, it became apparent that the sanctions are working.

The North Koreans are desperate to find clients who will buy

their weapons and it seems like Mr James is their big white hope.

And what about the triangulation deal?

Where's that left at the moment?

So this is where you left it? Yeah.

They still trust you.

But not for long.

The investigation had gone as far as it could,

so Mr James had to disappear.

Thanks to my intervention, Mr James went off the grid

and simply vanished, no longer answering his phone nor his emails.

In short, Mr James became a ghost.

Meanwhile, the mole was taking care of business

as the KFA delegate of Scandinavia.

First, he went to London to protest against the BBC,

together with his comrade in arms,

the British delegate of the Korean Friendship Association,

Mr Dermot Hodgson.

Then the mole went to Spain for his last in-person meeting

with his president, Alejandro Cao de Benos.

Several items were on the agenda.

And old carpets on the floor.

But most important was the sudden disappearance of Mr James.

To top it off,

the mole had been chosen as the host of the annual KFA meeting.

It was I who wrote the speeches for the mole

and now he would deliver his final sermon.

As I had planned it, the mole would share the fruits

of the top-secret work he had been doing with his mentor Alejandro.

Following the annual KFA meeting,

one member of the Korean Friendship Association

praised the Tourist Project on the message board of the KFA.

Alejandro told the mole to delete everything at once.

Also, a member named Jean Paul left the KFA

because he panicked about spying and hacking.

At the end of this,

I hired the former intelligence officer Annie Machon.

Before she went rogue and became a whistle-blower,

she was working for the British security service, the MI5.

Her exploits as a whistle-blower have made her controversial,

but that is of no concern to me.

I am only interested in her qualifications as a spy.

Running long-time undercover agents was her line of work,

as was debriefing agents at the end of their missions.

If someone has put ten years of their life into doing something,

and they've been very solitary in what they're doing,

they do need a chance just to tell someone exactly

what they went through.

It's almost like a confessional.

And, of course, you do want to, to reward them at the end of it,

even if it's just with a recognition they can't really tell anyone about,

apart from perhaps their wife or their husband.

But it is that recognition that's very important

when they've been working undercover for so long.

Such as a lavish dinner?

A lavish dinner usually works very well, yes.

And I want to raise a toast to you both for what you have achieved.

I think it's probably the...

..most impressive private intelligence operation

I've ever heard of.

How are you going to protect these two guys

from any reprisals from the North Koreans?

Regarding Mr James, he simply refuses to be...

SHE LAUGHS

..you know...protected or advised about security.

OK.

Erm, we have prepared for an after-care programme for the mole,

also taking care of his security. Mm-hm.

And his family?

And his family as well.

Erm...

What I am more concerned about regarding the mole is that

being the mole has been a part of his identity

for more than ten years, you know?

So, what will happen when we bring him in?

Entering any form of secret-type world is very seductive -

I know from personal experience.

And, for those who have been living a double life,

with all the danger and the adrenaline rush and everything,

it is incredibly difficult, often, to go back to mundane reality.

In the long-run, we all must face reality.

So, finally, I went to the suburbs of Copenhagen

to see where the mole lives

and meet with him and his wife.

It is a long story,

but let's cut to the ending.

Mm-hm.

HE EXHALES

HE LAUGHS
