Pelley asked Jenkins what amazed him the most about the world since he left it in 1965.
He had never laid a hand on a computer, much less been on the Internet. He told 60 Minutes he was surprised there were so many women in the Army, that there were black policemen, and, as he put it, you can’t smoke anywhere anymore.
Jenkins says he had been told about the historic landing of men of the moon. “I was told that by the Koreans, one of the officers. They wouldn't say what country, but they said, ‘Una handa la’… some country landed on the moon.”
Today, Jenkins has landed on Sado Island, Japan, not far from the spot where his wife was kidnapped. But before he came to the family farm, he had to know that Hitomi’s love flowed from freedom, not slavery.
Jenkins volunteered to dissolve the marriage. “I told her, ‘In North Korea, it's one thing. This is Japan. You're still young. If you wish for me to go, I'll go.’ "
