00:00:30Hello, my love.
00:00:37Hello, you.
00:00:39I thought I'm better calling you now in case I missed you later.
00:00:42Where are you?
00:00:42Oh, at the office.
00:00:43Still?
00:00:44Well, the flat's empty.
00:00:45I just need to finish a couple of new client things.
00:00:48Oh, gorgeous.
00:00:49Yeah, so get yourself home.
00:01:00What's that?
00:01:03I'm feeding your daughter, and Bubba's put the suitcases into the car.
00:01:07My mother's telling me he's ready to go.
00:01:09Then you better tell me what kind of ice cream you'd like.
00:01:11My favorite, of course.
00:01:12You don't have a favorite.
00:01:14It changes every week.
00:01:15Then surprise me.
00:01:19Can't wait to see you, both of you.
00:01:21Next time, I'm coming with you.
00:01:24I would love that.
00:01:53That's so good.
00:02:00You must have been interested in that.
00:02:02I can't see you, by the way.
00:02:11I think I saw you.
00:02:14Yes.
00:02:15Oh, nice.
00:02:21Are we looking all right?
00:02:23Oh, nice big smile.
00:02:26Hello.
00:02:27Hello.
00:02:28Look over here.
00:02:29Would you?
00:02:30Oh, yes.
00:02:31That's lovely.
00:02:44Say goodbye.
00:02:45Say goodbye.
00:02:46Bye, sir.
00:02:47Come on.
00:02:48Bye.
00:02:49Oh, yes.
00:02:59Good...
00:03:00Are you happy?
00:03:01My God!
00:03:11It's my Dad!
00:03:13Can I speak?
00:03:14Are you happy now?
00:03:16My God.
00:03:17I'm so happy.
00:03:18Come and see.
00:03:21Come on.
00:03:23Thank God.
00:03:24Thank God.
00:03:25Yes.
00:03:27Do you want to use your own?
00:03:31Yes.
00:03:33Do you want your own business?
00:03:36Yes.
00:03:38I'm going to get the same way to you.
00:03:41You're going to get with me.
00:03:42You're going to get the same way.
00:03:44Do you want to manage your own business?
00:03:45Yes, do you want to make it?

00:04:11Mommy!
00:04:13Mommy!
00:04:15Mommy!
00:04:17I don't know what to do, but it's mine.
00:04:47Do you know what you're doing?
00:04:49I'm not sure.
00:04:50You're right. You know why you're doing this, but you don't want to do it.
00:04:53I don't know why you're doing this. If you can, you can tell me.
00:05:00I got a car for a daughter and a car in the car.
00:05:04I'm not sure how to do it.
00:05:06Where is the laptop?
00:05:08Where is the laptop?
00:05:10I don't have laptop, but I don't have the laptop.
00:05:12I'm going to do it.
00:05:17You can't wait for your husband.
00:05:20Can you tell me?
00:05:21You can't wait for me.
00:05:28Can we get this?
00:05:30The passport is necessary.
00:05:32The English and English are all of your own.
00:05:37Find yourself, you're going to be a witness and bring your people back to you.
00:05:41What are you saying?
00:05:43I don't know.
00:06:11What do you mean by my daughter?
00:06:13Are you asking me your own reason?
00:06:15She's a daughter of a lion.
00:06:16She's a daughter.
00:06:18She's a daughter of a lion. She's a daughter.
00:06:20She's a daughter of a lion. She's a daughter of a lion.
00:06:24I'm going to ask you all the same.
00:06:26You, she's a daughter of a lion?
00:06:29If we don't do that, we'll be able to do that.
00:06:31We will be able to make it a little.
00:06:41Let's go.

00:14:22That's not a minute.
00:14:24I don't know what to do.
00:14:54I'm sorry.
00:15:22Adler?
00:15:23Uh, Richard, hi. It is Mohammed.
00:15:27We do not want to worry you, but there has been a delay at the airport.
00:15:32They say there is a problem with Nazanin's passport.
00:15:35She did not make the flight.
00:15:37She's still at the airport answering questions.
00:15:40And they say this is normal.
00:15:42You know what it is like here.
00:15:45Where's Gabriella? How is she?
00:15:47Yeah, she's here in the house.
00:15:49She's sleeping.
00:15:51My father said he will return to the airport this afternoon.
00:16:01Um, my mother says they promised this for one night only.
00:16:05They can only hold her for 24 hours.
00:16:07Well, I suppose all we can do is wait.
00:16:10Yeah.
00:16:11Yeah, okay, thanks.
00:16:13All right, thanks.
00:16:21Molly!
00:16:43I take care of my daughter.
00:16:45She's an employee.
00:16:46She's an attorney.
00:16:47She's an attorney.
00:16:48She's an attorney.
00:16:49I'm in a daughter, a former
00:16:52officer of the police.
00:16:54The police officer
00:16:57has been to the police
00:16:59for the last few days.
00:17:01But my daughter is not to?
00:17:04My daughter is not to be in a house.
00:17:07My daughter is not to be in a house.
00:17:09They say that today is free.
00:17:11Today is a new year.
00:17:13Mr. Smith, I will tell you.
00:17:15My daughter is not to be in a house.
00:17:19I'm here. I'll take care of you.
00:17:22If you don't have trouble, please ask me.
00:17:26I'm here.
00:17:30Let me know.
00:17:32My father is still at the airport, so no, no news here.
00:17:55Did they tell him to go to the airport?
00:17:57No, no.
00:17:58So he just went?
00:18:00Yes, he just went.
00:18:03Should we be worried? Is your father worried?
00:18:06Richard, my father is always worried.
00:18:10We can only wait.
00:18:13Yeah, thank you.
00:18:30No, no, no, no.
00:18:33I'm sorry.
00:18:35We're gonna turn around.
00:18:38I've been waiting and they're coming up for now.
00:18:41Which one's passing.
00:18:43I was living in reality.
00:18:45I was sleeping in my house.
00:18:47I was sleeping in my house.
00:18:49I was sleeping in my house.
00:18:51Let's go.
00:19:21Let's go.
00:19:51Let's go.
00:20:21Let's go.
00:20:51Let's go.
00:21:21Let's go.
00:21:51Let's go.
00:22:21Let's go.
00:22:51Let's go.
00:23:21Let's go.
00:23:51What questions can they ask they haven't asked already?
00:23:54I really don't know.
00:23:58We must let them do their work.
00:24:00That is what my father has said.
00:24:01That is what my father has said.
00:24:02How did she sound when you spoke to her?
00:24:07My mother says she sounded tired.
00:24:09Where is she, Gina?
00:24:12Can I say hello to Gabriela?
00:24:19So we wait.
00:24:23Be patient.
00:24:24Be patient.
00:24:25Be patient.
00:24:26Be patient.
00:24:27Be patient.
00:24:28Just a few more days.
00:24:30Can I say hello to Gabriela?
00:24:32Yeah.
00:24:33Gabriela?
00:24:34Would you like daddy to read you a story?
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:44Yeah.
00:24:45Peppa pig.
00:24:46Peppa pig.
00:24:47Peppa pig.
00:24:48Peppa pig.
00:24:49Should we do that one?
00:24:50Should we remember it?
00:24:51My name is Peppa.
00:24:53And this book is all about my granny.
00:24:58She's the best granny in the whole wide world.
00:25:28She's the best
00:25:44Okay.
00:25:53That's right.
00:25:56This is Meherabad.
00:25:58I'll give you a chance.
00:26:01Why are you in Meherabad?
00:26:03Don't say anything, I'll give you a hand.
00:26:09Can I go and see you?
00:26:11I'll give you a daughter.
00:26:13Madam, I'll give you another word.
00:26:17I'll give you a hand.
00:26:22Hello.
00:26:23Hello, is this Richard Radcliffe?
00:26:26Yes.
00:26:27Richard, my name is Monique Vila.
00:26:28You sent an email to Nazanin's manager here at Thomson Reuters?
00:26:31Yes.
00:26:33The email has been passed on to me.
00:26:35I'm the CEO of the Foundation.
00:26:37It's good of you to call.
00:26:39Nazanin is still delayed?
00:26:43Yes, as I said, we've been told there's a problem with her passport.
00:26:46She's been held for how long now?
00:26:48A couple of days. It has to be a mistake of sorts.
00:26:53No, I don't believe so.
00:26:55I think you have to consider that this is deliberate.
00:27:05You will keep me informed?
00:27:09Yes.
00:27:10I'm here to help, of course.
00:27:13Speak soon.
00:27:22Richard.
00:27:23Due diligence on the EC audit. Are you ready?
00:27:27Prepared?
00:27:28Yes.

00:33:39What's your picture?
00:33:50What do you do about it?
00:33:57What do you do about it?
00:34:02I'm the director of Thomson Reuters.
00:34:07So you work for Thomson Reuters?
00:34:09No.
00:34:11I work for Thomson Reuters.
00:34:15I'm a different one.
00:34:17I'm completely different.
00:34:20We don't have a lot of work.
00:34:22We don't have a lot of work in Iran.
00:34:23Do you say it?
00:34:26It's true.
00:34:32Are you from the English government
00:34:35you have access to?
00:34:43I don't know what the English government is.
00:34:46I don't know.
00:34:49For example,
00:34:50you have to deal with the people's rights in Iran.
00:34:54Do you agree with that?
00:34:57Yes.
00:34:58I don't have any information about these issues.
00:35:00Correct, give me a lot.
00:35:01Let me give a blunt.
00:35:04If I say that every day, I'll be able to do this.
00:35:08I'll tell you how to do it.
00:35:09Any plans for the weekend, Rich?
00:35:33No, no, no.
00:35:34Nothing.
00:35:35We're taking the kids to Disneyland Paris.
00:35:37Can't wait for the queues.
00:35:40You ever been to Disneyland?
00:35:44Rich, have you got a minute?
00:35:46Yeah.
00:35:47Yeah, sure.
00:36:17Tell me that you will return to the house of your life.
00:36:26I will return to the house of the night?
00:36:33It's been a while, but it's not.
00:36:44I don't know.
00:36:47I will return to the house of the night.
00:36:51What are you doing?
00:36:54What are you doing?
00:36:56What are you doing?
00:36:58I'm doing it.
00:37:12My love.
00:37:13I tried to call, but no answer.
00:37:16There were some complications over my passport.
00:37:20It will be resolved soon and I will be coming home on Saturday.
00:37:24Yeah, we will be well.
00:37:29Thanks for letting me know.
00:37:32Stay strong.
00:37:34Dad, I'm trying not to get too excited, but Nazanin has messaged.
00:37:39She says she's coming home Saturday.
00:37:41Oh, my goodness, Rick.
00:37:42That's wonderful news.
00:37:44Fantastic.
00:37:45She's coming home on Saturday.
00:37:46Thank heavens.
00:37:47She actually called me and I missed her.
00:37:49I couldn't believe it.
00:37:50I'll forward you her text.
00:37:53Feels like her weight has been lifted.
00:37:55As long as she and Gabriella get back home, that's the main thing.
00:37:59Yeah.
00:38:00This is huge.
00:38:01You can't, it's over here.
00:38:02No, no.
00:38:03Rose.
00:38:04I'm doing love that.
00:38:05We can't even wonder when you're so big.
00:38:06I'm doing that.
00:38:07It's over here.
00:38:08Escaping your life.
00:38:10We'll be getting out of here.
00:38:11I'm doing a small bit of your life.
00:38:12I thought you were so big but I have a lot of feelings.
00:38:13Oh, mum.
00:38:14I haven't done it.
00:38:16Or you're too big.
00:38:17It's over there.
00:38:18So what's up?
00:38:19I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:39:19Mohamed, yes?
00:39:21I'm sorry we've heard nothing.
00:39:24Richard, we've been told nothing.
00:39:27Why are they doing this?
00:39:31What did you say to Gabriella?
00:39:34We thought it is best not to say anything.
00:39:37This is so difficult.
00:39:40You should be wondering where her mummy's gone.
00:39:46Give her a kiss from me and tell her daddy loves her.
00:39:50Oh, well.
00:39:51And I'll keep you updated.
00:39:53Yeah, thanks.
00:39:57Bastards.
00:40:05Fucking, fucking bastards.
00:40:07Fucking, fucking bastards.
00:40:16Oh, my God.
00:40:19Oh, my God.
00:40:24Oh, my God.
00:40:29Oh, my God.
00:40:30Oh, my God.
00:40:30Oh, my God.
00:40:32I don't know what to do.
00:41:02After Nathaline's text message and her non-release, her family had been difficult to reach.
00:41:18It's entirely possible their phones are being monitored. I really don't know.
00:41:23So no complete silence?
00:41:24Yes, Saturday came and went. Nothing.
00:41:32Richard, I think you need to view this as an abduction.
00:41:40Abduction?
00:41:45A woman has been taken against her will, and we have no clue where she is being held.
00:41:54Why would they abduct her? She was on holiday visiting family.
00:41:58Is there anything about her job? Anything that could be misconstrued?
00:42:01We are a charity. And Nathaline is an administrator.
00:42:04She works here in London, organizing courses for journalists in different countries where good training isn't available.
00:42:10But not in Iran. We don't even operate in Iran.
00:42:14So why she's been taken is an unknown, but it is unlikely to be anything to do with her passport.
00:42:20You need to start calling people, the Foreign Office to begin with.
00:42:23At the very least, they can ask the question, where is she?
00:42:30Good morning, Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
00:42:32Good morning. Iran desk, please.
00:42:35Iran?
00:42:36Yes, Iran.
00:42:37Yes, Iran.
00:42:38And what is this regarding?
00:42:41I want to report the detention of a British citizen in Tehran.
00:42:46My wife.
00:42:47And the confiscation of my daughter's passport by the Iranian authorities.
00:42:52Iran desk.
00:42:53It was all very British.
00:42:55Polite.
00:42:56George, she was called.
00:42:57And he, they, advised me to do nothing.
00:43:03Do nothing.
00:43:04Say nothing.
00:43:05Tell no one.
00:43:07And wait.
00:43:08They know best and they'll be in touch.
00:43:15Oh my gosh.
00:43:17Poor Nas.
00:43:19They'll know who to speak to, I suppose.
00:43:22Back channels.
00:43:23You'd hope so.
00:43:25So, we wait.
00:43:29Short of jumping on a plane, that's all we can do.
00:43:33I'd like to jump on a plane, but her family are afraid and...
00:43:39I'm being told by the Foreign Office that...
00:43:43they would not be wise.
00:43:45Well, you're staying here tonight.
00:43:46One night, at least.
00:43:48I'll make up the bed and you can have a nice long bath.
00:44:03Monica's recommending that I go and see one or two human rights organisations.
00:44:08Context.
00:44:10Fact finding.
00:44:11Facts are good.
00:44:13It might help.
00:44:14Knowledge of what's gone before.
00:44:16We'll see.
00:44:17Gnocchi?
00:44:18I'd love that.
00:44:19Yes?
00:44:21Good.
00:44:22Have you to drink?
00:44:23Bianchi or Rossi?
00:44:24Rossi.
00:44:25Give me a glass and I'll say it once I have a glass.
00:44:27No phones on the table.
00:44:28I know.
00:44:29What?
00:44:30What?
00:44:31Take photographs.
00:44:32What?
00:44:33What?
00:44:34What?
00:44:35What?
00:44:36What?
00:44:37What?
00:44:38What?
00:44:39What?
00:44:40What?
00:44:41What?
00:44:42What?
00:44:43What?
00:44:44What?
00:44:45What?
00:44:46What?
00:44:47Because you never do.
00:44:48What?
00:44:49Take photographs.
00:44:50What?
00:44:51What?
00:44:52What?
00:44:53What?
00:44:54What?
00:44:55What?
00:44:56What?
00:44:57What?
00:44:58What?
00:44:59What?
00:45:00What?
00:45:01What?
00:45:02Oh, fuck.
00:45:03Hello.
00:45:04Mr. Radcliffe?
00:45:05It's George from the Iran desk.
00:45:06You'll be pleased to hear.
00:45:07It's George from the Iran desk. You'll be pleased to hear we've made contact with the Iranian foreign ministry regarding Nazanin and they have acknowledged the case which is good news oftentimes they will reject a request outright claiming it as an internal matter what have they said if they told you where she is it doesn't quite work like that
00:45:36whilst lines of communication are open and cordial we must proceed carefully and ensure they remain open but no answers steady as we go as they say
00:45:54Your wife has been detained for reasons unknown but most likely political
00:45:59And these human rights groups can help facilitate these meetings
00:46:06Yes
00:46:07Yes, they can do that but nothing more until you go public with your story which is a huge decision to make
00:46:15Yeah
00:46:19And against official foreign office advice
00:46:24Every representative of human rights groups I've spoken to has said the same thing
00:46:29They can present numerous reductive case studies but at this stage what would be best for you is to meet with families who are or have been in a similar situation
00:46:39The last time I saw my mother was two years ago
00:46:50She went back to Iran to sort some papers to sell her house
00:46:58She never came back
00:47:00I hope she's still alive but we don't know
00:47:03What I found to be the most difficult to deal with
00:47:08It's not the imprisonment
00:47:11It's not even the cruelty
00:47:15It was cruelty
00:47:19Torture
00:47:25It is the lies
00:47:27The fact they knew it all to be fake
00:47:29A game
00:47:32My brother was taken four years ago
00:47:46He was very brave
00:47:48Because he was openly political
00:47:52He was never afraid to speak out
00:47:54To criticize the regime
00:47:55He was kept in solitary for many months
00:48:00He was interrogated
00:48:02For many hours and many days
00:48:04Always blindfolded
00:48:14Tip 1
00:48:17Tap 2
00:48:19Late
00:48:20fand
00:48:23If
00:48:25Simple question, George.
00:48:42Simple question after a month almost.
00:48:45Do you know where she's being held?
00:48:47Have they told you that much?
00:48:49We do not have that information.
00:48:51Not yet.
00:48:52Because if we don't know where she is,
00:48:54we cannot acquire access,
00:48:55and access is important,
00:48:56not least to know that she's still alive.
00:48:58I do understand, Richard.
00:48:59And I assure you we are raising the case.
00:49:02You keep saying that,
00:49:03but can you say that my wife is alive?
00:49:06I understand your need for answers and information.
00:49:09Can I meet with someone in a room, face to face?
00:49:13I will make a note of your request.
00:49:15Your final question,
00:49:16why is it seemingly impossible
00:49:17for a British diplomat in Iran
00:49:19to locate and visit a British citizen
00:49:21taken against her will?
00:49:22It's not impossible, just difficult.
00:49:26Richard, we need your patience, confidence.
00:49:30And in return, we will give you our best.
00:49:31Can I call you tomorrow for an update?
00:49:34Of course.
00:49:35And can I emphasize the need for patience?
00:49:38You have.
00:49:40You have.
00:49:41And you have.
00:49:55You have.
00:49:55Do you know that the British government has been running for a few years?
00:50:02Zero.
00:50:04Zero?
00:50:06Tell me about what the British government looks like.
00:50:10Tell me.
00:50:12I don't know. I don't know.
00:50:18I know that you were your own choice.
00:50:22I'm glad to meet you.
00:50:27I'm fui by the government, and I'm happy.
00:50:30But I'm going to do it and I can't...
00:50:34I'm willing to make you my own choice.
00:50:38I think I'm happy to eat it.
00:50:40You don't want to eat it.
00:50:43You're an Iranian or a Muslim.
00:50:46There is no doubt about it with your own expertise.
00:50:49I'm going to ask you, why did you come to Iran?
00:50:54What's the rule?
00:50:57Do you want to do it?
00:51:00Do you want to do it?
00:51:04When you came here, did you get your daughter good?
00:51:19Do you want to do it?
00:51:24Hello?
00:51:26Come on.
00:51:29Baba?
00:51:31Who is it?
00:51:32I don't know.
00:51:40Do you understand?
00:51:43Genobali?
00:52:10Why did you come here?
00:52:13Maybe...
00:52:16Why did she come here and leave?
00:52:19It's been 30 days now since Naz disappeared and more than once I've, it's crossed my mind, um,
00:52:33will I ever see her again?
00:52:34Her family in Iran are being followed and photographed and they have just only just been told for reasons
00:52:54of national security.
00:53:00Nazanin has been held by the Revolutionary Guard.
00:53:04And she's inside Kerman prison, which is 1,000 kilometers south of her family home in Tehran.
00:53:18It's, um, probable that she would have been kept in isolation.
00:53:29She would have, um, enjoyed questioning.
00:53:31And suffered torture of some kind, um,
00:53:40um, it, it could continue for some time, some months, um, told.
00:53:49Told by who, Rick?
00:53:52By the families I've met, families who, like us, have been through it, some still going through it.
00:53:59And we've never heard of them?
00:54:00That's right, uh, we've never heard of them.
00:54:02We don't know their names, we don't know how long they've been held or how they're being treated.
00:54:08They're, um, they're invisible.
00:54:16You, you, you all know the Foreign Office Iran desk has advised me to do nothing.
00:54:23Say nothing.
00:54:25Add to the silence.
00:54:27Having now met the families, I'm not sure I can do that.
00:54:30Nor am I sure that adding to the silence is the right thing to do.
00:54:32I'm almost certain it isn't.
00:54:36And from what I can gather, um, waiting achieves nothing.
00:54:41And I'm, I'm thinking she's my wife.
00:54:49She's my wife, for goodness sake.
00:54:50She's, um, a British citizen.
00:54:52She's been kidnapped and wrongfully imprisoned, uh, uh, uh, and separated from her child.
00:54:59And it's wrong.
00:55:02Yes.
00:55:07Shouldn't I be shouting from the rooftops?
00:55:09Yes.
00:55:09So, so is that what I do, make a noise?
00:55:13I think you must.
00:55:15If you want us to make a noise, we'll make a noise.
00:55:17This is a story that people need to know.
00:55:21The world needs to know.
00:55:23Get yourself on television.
00:55:24Tell them.
00:55:26Go big.
00:55:29My wife, Nazanin Zaghari Radcliffe, 37-year-old charity worker,
00:55:36was on holiday visiting her family in Iran.
00:55:41She was at the airport returning to the UK on the 3rd of April when she was detained by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
00:55:49She has been transferred to an unknown location in Kerman Province.
00:55:56I'd never heard of Kerman until a few days ago.
00:55:59But that's where she's been taken.
00:56:02I now intend to go public with whatever information I have, which is why I'm here,
00:56:08in the office of my MP, asking that my Nazanin's detention be raised in Parliament.
00:56:13My daughter, Gabriella, is 22 months old, and she and Nazanin have never spent a day apart.
00:56:26Never.
00:56:30She and Nazanin have never spent a day apart.
00:56:33They'll both be destroyed.
00:56:42Can you imagine? They'll both be destroyed.
00:56:45Take your time.
00:56:50Right, what's next?
00:56:52Richard, what are the charges?
00:56:54What is it she's supposed to have done?
00:56:56There have been no charges.
00:56:59Her family have been told that the investigation relates to an issue of national security.
00:57:03Nazanin works for a charity.
00:57:05The Thomson Reuters Foundation, they are a charity.
00:57:08And what is the position of the Foreign Office?
00:57:10Have you seen our numbers?
00:57:11The petition?
00:57:12No.
00:57:13Over 15,000 signatures in one morning.
00:57:17Rick, people care.
00:57:26Come on.
00:57:39Get back.
00:57:42PaÅŸa, paÅŸa.
00:57:43Get back.
00:57:45PaÅŸa!
00:57:47Surt, pass.
00:57:49You're a good guy.
00:57:51You're a good guy.
00:57:52A British man is urging the government to help secure the release of his wife,
00:58:13who's been held in solitary confinement in Iran for more than a month.
00:58:16Nazanin Zaghari-Rakliff, who holds dual nationality, has been held for more than a month.
00:58:19The Iranian government says she was arrested in connection with national security.
00:58:23Her 22-month-old daughter is also being kept in the country after the authorities confiscated her British passport.
00:58:29His daughter is effectively trapped in Iran.
00:58:32Just over a month ago, a British Iranian woman was about to get on a plane back to the UK.
00:58:36Her parents were told it was an issue of national security, but there have been no charges.
00:58:40And her husband, Richard Ratcliffe, says there is nothing to do with her work or her personal background that could explain her detention.
00:58:49How's your day?
00:58:58How's your day?
00:58:58I don't know.
00:59:28I don't know.
00:59:58I don't know.
01:00:28I don't know.
01:00:58I don't know.
01:01:28I don't know.
01:01:58I don't know.
01:01:59I don't know.
01:02:00I don't know.
01:02:02I don't know.
01:02:03I don't know.
01:02:04I don't know.
01:02:05I don't know.
01:02:06I don't know.
01:02:07I don't know.
01:02:08I don't know.
01:02:09I don't know.
01:02:11I don't know.
01:02:14I don't know.
01:02:15I don't know.
01:02:16I don't know.
01:02:17I don't know.
01:02:19I don't know.
01:02:20I don't know.
01:02:21I don't know.
01:02:22I don't know.
01:02:23I don't know.
01:02:24I don't know.
01:02:25I don't know.
01:02:26I don't know.
01:02:27I don't know.
01:02:28I don't know.
01:02:29I don't know.
01:02:30I don't know.
01:02:31I don't know.
01:02:32I don't know.
01:02:33I don't know.
01:02:34I don't know.
01:02:35I don't know.
01:02:36I don't know.
01:02:37I don't know.
01:02:38I don't know.
01:02:39That's the anger that you ask for.
01:02:40If you do, um, it's still being forced,
01:02:41tell us that.
01:02:42Muhammad, I, I do understand,
01:02:44but they cannot be allowed to do as they please.
01:02:49Yes.
01:02:50Of course they said that.
01:02:51My father and mother would like you to stop.
01:03:01No need to translate. I got the message.
01:03:11Your father's not happy.
01:03:13Nazanin was stronger than we thought she would be.
01:03:16That is the most important thing.
01:03:24This is impressive.
01:03:26Go big, and sadly you're invited inside.
01:03:30Hopefully Nazanin's family will see it that way.
01:03:34Morning. Morning all.
01:03:36Richard, before we go into our meeting proper,
01:03:38the minister would like to say hi to you and perhaps one other.
01:03:42He's waiting.
01:03:43Why, it should be John. Not a problem.
01:03:49Would you like to take a seat?
01:03:52Mr. Radcliffe, good morning.
01:03:54Good morning.
01:03:55Would you care for a cup of tea?
01:03:57No, no, no, no.
01:03:58Not for me.
01:03:59Right, then let me give you my card up front.
01:04:03In case conversations with my department become at all frustrating.
01:04:09Though I can assure you they are doing their utmost.
01:04:12I myself will be meeting with the Iranian charge d'affaires on the 19th.
01:04:18And I will bring this matter up personally.
01:04:21That's good to hear.
01:04:23You're meeting with the deputy head of mission?
01:04:25That's correct.
01:04:26Well, he's a good man.
01:04:27And he will inform you quite rightly that relations between the UK and Iran are improving.
01:04:32And the fact that they have acknowledged Nazanin's arrest confirms that.
01:04:36What we must now not do is react in ways that strengthen hardliners.
01:04:45Our advice is patience and quiet.
01:04:49Quiet enables diplomacy and strategy and progress.
01:04:56Which is what we want, is it not?
01:04:59Yes.
01:05:00Very much so.
01:05:01Good.
01:05:02My darling little child.
01:05:16Each morning you will be wondering where I am.
01:05:19Each morning you will feel that I have abandoned you.
01:05:26That is something I would never do.
01:05:29Each and every second my body aches for you.
01:05:38My dear Richard.
01:05:42My husband.
01:05:43Save me.
01:05:44Hello?
01:05:45Mohamed?
01:05:46Richard, hi.
01:05:47It is Mohamed.
01:05:48Can you hear me?
01:05:49Yes.
01:05:50Yes.
01:05:51Listen, I have Nazanin on a different phone.
01:06:05Oh.
01:06:06You do?
01:06:07Yes.
01:06:08If I put the two phones together, she would like to try to speak with you.
01:06:13Yes.
01:06:14Yes.
01:06:15Please do that.
01:06:16Do that.
01:06:21Richard, can you hear me?
01:06:24Nazanin?
01:06:25Oh my God.
01:06:26Oh my God.
01:06:27Oh my God.
01:06:28Oh my God.
01:06:29Oh my God.
01:06:30Oh my God.
01:06:31Is that you?
01:06:32Nazanin?
01:06:33It's so good to hear your voice.
01:06:34I miss you so much.
01:06:35I love you so much.
01:06:36I love you too.
01:06:37I do.
01:06:38Richard, they've been saying you forgot about me.
01:06:41Never.
01:06:42Never.
01:06:43No one has forgotten about you.
01:06:46Every day you are all we think about and only you.
01:06:52I want this to be over.
01:06:54I want to come home.
01:06:55I'm scared.
01:06:56I'm so scared.
01:06:58My love, believe me, we're doing everything we can.
01:07:02Please stay strong and I promise this will one day be the past.
01:07:07I promise.
01:07:08I promise.
01:07:09My love.
