Hello, my love.

Hello, you.

I thought I'm better calling you now in case I missed you later.

Where are you? Oh, at the office.

Still? Well, the flat's empty. I just need to finish a couple of new client

things.

Yeah, so get yourself home.

What's that?

I'm feeding your daughter.

And Baba's put the suitcases into the car. My mother's telling me it's ready

go. Then you better tell me what kind of ice cream you'd like.

My favourite, of course.

You don't have a favourite. It changes every week.

Then surprise me.

Can't wait to see you, both of you.

Next time, I'm coming with you.

I would love that.

Are we looking all right boys?

Oh, yes.

I'm sorry, ma 'am. I'm sorry, ma

'am.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes.

Mommy!

Mommy! Mommy!

Mommy!

Sorry, can someone tell me why I'm here?

Where are the bombs?

Look at her face.

You know why she's here. I don't know why I'm here. If you know, tell me.

I took the iPad for my daughter.

It's in the air.

There's nothing in it.

Where's your laptop?

Where's your flash memory card?

No, I have a laptop.

I did something.

Sorry,

what did you say?

Let's go.

I don't care about your daughter.

She'll answer tomorrow.

Tomorrow? I need a little boy.

I've answered all your questions.

Are you going home early tomorrow?

If you don't let us get to work, you'll be here one night.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

I thought your daughter was going to be with you.

You know what to do.

How did you

get

to Iran?

What's your job?

My job?

I came to see my family.

I want to show them my son.

What's your job?

I don't have a job.

I want to go to my son and feed him.

What's your job?

What's wrong with your earring?

How do I open it?

Give me your phone.

I didn't do anything wrong.

You're wasting information.

No.

Is this your picture?

Yes.

Do you have a Facebook account?

No.

You're lying.

This is another lie.

I wanted to come to Iran, but everyone does this to me.

All the spies do this I'm not a spy I just want

my family to see me Don't talk

nonsense I know what you are

You know what you are

Yeah. Yeah.

So, you guys are best if you wanna put your life out there with me.

What's the size?

I was told I could go home today. I was told I could go home three hours ago.

But I had to stay for you. What's the size?

36.

Where is it?

I don't know if it's a big size or a very big one.

Your shoes are broken.

The watch is broken.

It's broken.

It's broken.

It's broken.

It's broken.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We do not want to worry you, but there has been a delay at the airport.

They say there is a problem with Nazanin's passport.

She did not make the flight.

She's still at the airport answering questions.

They say this is normal.

You know what it is like here.

Where's Gabriela? How is she?

Yeah, she's here in the house.

She's sleeping.

My father said he will return to the airport this afternoon.

My mother

says they promise it's for one night only.

They can only hold her for 24 hours.

Well, I suppose all we can do is wait.

I came to look for my daughter.

Nazanin Zaghari.

I kept her here last night for a check -up.

We don't have any information about your daughter.

Last night, they kept my daughter in the room.

They said she'd be released today.

She's dead today.

Sir, tell me once. We don't have any information about your daughter.

We're here.

We're in the same room.

My father is still at the airport, so... no.

No news here.

Did they tell him to go to the airport?

No, no.

So he just went?

Yes, he just went.

Should we be worried? Is your father worried?

Richard, my father's always worried.

We can only wait.

Bessie me.

Mia, put your spell on the boss.

It's not cool.

Sit down.

How old is she?

I have a daughter.

She's 20.

Be quiet.

Hello.

Why did you take her here?

I don't know.

If you can, tell me.

Read this.

You can defend yourself against the judge.

Read it to understand.

No, no, no. Get out. Get

out.

Write it down.

What?

Please write it down.

Write it down so that you can confirm that you've understood the intruder's

accusations and stand by them.

But I don't understand.

Let me explain it to you.

Either you write it down or you stay here.

The name of the prison has been completed. Number 95201.

Great. Very great.

Call your family.

Then tell them you'll be here a few more days.

I've never done this before.

You said it yourself.

Tell your parents to call.

Go. I'll tell them what to say.

Yes,

Mamed. The news I have is that we have spoken with Norsani.

A phone call.

Thank God.

What did she say? What's happening?

She will be answering questions just a few more days.

Two, maybe three more days.

Why? What?

Questions? What questions can they ask they haven't asked already?

I really don't know.

We must let them do their work.

That is what my father has said.

How did she sound when he spoke to her?

My mother says she sounded tired.

Where is she, Gina?

Richard, if we knew, my father and mother would be there now.

So we wait.

Be patient.

Just a few more days.

Can I say hello to Gabriella?

Yeah.

Come on.

Gabriella, get soon.

Would you like Daddy to read you a story?

Peppa Pig.

Peppa Pig.

She'll do that one. She'll remember it.

My name... And this book is all about my

granny. She's the best granny in the whole wide world.

I'm going to get you dressed.

Let's go.

Where are you going?

I want to see my daughter. Ma 'am, I don't want to hear another word from

Leave me alone.

Hello. Hello, is this Richard Radcliffe?

Yes. Richard, my name is Monique Villa. You sent an email to Nazanin's manager

here at Thomson Reuters?

Yes.

The email has been passed on to me. I am the CEO of the foundation.

It's good of you to call.

Nazanin is still delayed?

Yes, as I said, we've been told there's a problem with her passport.

She's been held for how long now?

A couple of days. It has to be a mistake of sorts.

No, I don't believe so.

I think you have to consider that this is deliberate You

will keep me informed

Richard, due diligence on the EC audit. Are you ready?

Prepared? Yes.

We are.

Ready.

Everything all right?

Is it time?

Yeah.

Take her.

Prisoner number 51.

Ladies.

I won't say it again.

Those who want to kill me, come here.

Come here.

They don't want to kill me again.

Let me check.

But I can see it here.

Richard?

Richard?

Richard?

Richard?

If you come back, you can get as much money as you want.

Lower your eyes.

Who do you work for?

I'm the project manager for the Thomson Reuters.

Do you work for Reuters?

No.

I work for Thomson Reuters.

We're two different people.

Our company is great and we have nothing to do in Iran. You're lying.

It's the truth.

Are you from England?

Do you support them?

I don't know much about the British government.

Do you agree with their statements about human rights in Iran?

I don't know anything about these statements.

Answer correctly. Speak loudly.

Any plans for the weekend?

No, no, nothing.

We're taking the kids to Disneyland Paris.

Can't wait for the queues.

You ever been to Disneyland?

Richard, have you got a minute?

Yeah.

She'll be happy.

Tell her you'll be back home on Saturday.

I'll be back on Saturday?

Write to her. But don't throw it.

I'm not coming.

What does it say?

It says it's been opened.

Change it.

to call, but no answer.

There were some complications over my passport.

It will be resolved soon, and I will be coming home on Saturday.

Yeah, we will be well.

Thanks for letting me know.

Stay strong.

Dad, I'm trying not to get too excited, but Nazanin has messaged.

She says she's coming home Saturday.

Oh, my goodness, Rick, that's wonderful news.

Fantastic. She's coming home on Saturday. Thank heavens.

I'm sure she called me and I missed her. I couldn't believe it.

I'll forward you her text.

Feels like her weight has been lifted.

As long as she and Gabriella get back home, that's the main thing.

Very cool.

Muhammad, yes.

Sorry, we've heard nothing.

Richard, we've been told nothing.

Why are they doing this?

What did you say to Gabriela?

We thought it was best not to say anything.

This is so difficult.

You should be wondering where her mummy's gone.

Give her a kiss from me.

And I'll keep you updated.

Thank you.

After Nazanin's text message and her non -release, her family have been

difficult to reach.

It's entirely possible their phones have been monitored. I really don't know.

So no complete silence?

Yes, Saturday came and went.

Nothing.

Richard, I think you need to view this as an abduction.

A woman has been taken against her will, and we have no clue where she is being

held.

Why would they abduct her? She was on holiday visiting family.

Is there anything about her job, anything that could be misconstrued? We

charity. And Nazanin is an administrator.

She works here in London, organising courses for journalists in different

countries where good training isn't available.

But not in Iran.

We don't even operate in Iran. So why she's been taken is an unknown, but it

unlikely to be anything to do with her passport.

You need to start calling people, the Foreign Office to begin with. At the

least, they can ask the question, where is she?

Good morning, Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Good morning.

Iran desk, please.

Iran? Yes, Iran.

And what is this regarding?

I want to report the detention of a British citizen in Tehran, my wife, and

confiscation of my daughter's passport by the Iranian authorities.

Iran desk.

It was all very British, polite.

George, she was called, and he, they, advised me to do nothing.

Do nothing, say nothing, tell no one, and wait.

our best and they'll be in touch.

Oh, my gosh.

Poor Ness.

They'll know who to speak to, I suppose.

Matt Channels.

You don't, sir.

So... we wait.

Short of jumping on a plane, that's all we can do.

I'd like to jump on a plane, but our family are afraid and...

I'm being told by the Foreign Office that it would not be wise.

Well, you're staying here tonight.

One night, at least.

I'll make up the bed and you can have a nice long bath.

Monica's recommending that I go and see one or two human rights organisations.

Um, context.

Fact -finding. Facts are good.

It might help. Knowledge of what's gone before.

We'll see.

Knocky? I'd love that.

Yes?

Good. A drink?

Yankee or Rossi?

Rossi. Give me a glass. I'll say it once I have a glass.

No fault in the table. Oh, I know.

What? Because you never do. What? Take photographs.

Hello. Mr. Radcliffe? It's George from the Iran desk.

You'll be pleased to hear we've made contact with the Iranian foreign

regarding Nazanin, and they have acknowledged the case, which is good

Oftentimes they will reject a request outright, claiming it as an internal

matter. What have they said? Have they told you where she is? It doesn't quite

work like that.

Whilst 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.

Your wife has been detained for reasons unknown, but most likely political.

And these human rights groups can help facilitate these meetings?

Yes.

Yes, they can do that, but nothing more until you go public with your story,

which is...

A huge decision to make.

Yeah.

And against official foreign office advice.

Every representative of human rights groups I've spoken to has said the same

thing. They can present numerous redacted 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.

The last time I saw my mother was two years ago.

She went back to Iran to search some papers to sell her house.

She never came back.

I hope she's still alive, but we don't know.

What I found to be the most difficult to deal with is not the imprisonment,

not even the cruelty.

That was cruelty.

Torture.

It is a lie.

The fact they knew it all to be fake.

A game.

My brother was taken four years ago. He was very brave because he was openly

political.

He was never afraid to speak out, to criticize the regime.

He was kept in solitary for many months.

He was interrogated for many hours and many days.

Always blindfolded.

Simple question, George. Simple question after a month almost.

Do you know where she's being held? Have they told you that much?

We do not have that information.

Not yet.

Because if we don't know where she is, we cannot acquire access, and access is

important, not least to know that she's still alive.

I do understand, Richard.

And I assure you, we are raising the case.

You keep saying that, but can you say that my wife is alive?

I understand your need for answers and information. Can I meet with someone in

room? Face to face.

I will make a note of your request.

Your final question. Why is it seemingly impossible for a British diplomat in

Iran to locate and visit a British citizen taken against her will? It's not

impossible. Just difficult.

Richard, we need your patience.

Confidence. And in return, we will give you our best. Can I call you tomorrow

for an update?

Of course.

And can I emphasize the need for patience?

You have.

Thank you.

Zero.

Zero.

I mean, it was your choice to live there.

I know both Britannians.

I'm happy for them. I'm kind.

I'm fair.

But I don't have a government.

I'll ask you again.

Why did you come to Iran?

What's your job?

Talk to me.

Talk to me.

From the time you came here, we had a good time with your daughter.

Hello.

Who is it? I don't know.

It's been 30 days now since Naz disappeared and... More

than once, it's crossed my mind, will

I ever see her again?

Her family in Iran are being followed and photographed

and...

They have just, only just been told for reasons of national security.

Nazanin has been held by the Revolutionary Guard.

She is inside Kerman prison, which is 1 ,000 kilometres south of her

family home in Tehran.

It's probable that she would have been kept in isolation.

She would have endured questioning and

suffered torture of some kind.

It could continue for some time, some months.

Untold. Told by who, Rick?

By the families I've met.

Families who, like us, have been through it.

Some still going through it.

And we've never heard of them. That's right.

We've never heard of them. We don't know their names. We don't know how long

they've been held or how they're being treated.

They're invisible.

You all know the...

Foreign office, Iran desk has advised me to do nothing.

Say nothing.

Add to the silence.

Having now met the families, I'm not sure I can do that, nor am I sure that

adding to the silence is the right thing to do. I'm almost certain it isn't.

And from what I can gather, waiting achieves nothing, and I'm thinking,

wife.

My wife, for goodness sake, she's a British citizen. She's been kidnapped

wrongfully imprisoned and separated from her child and...

It's wrong.

Yes.

Shouldn't I be shouting from the rooftops?

Yes.

So is that what I do, make a noise?

I think you must.

If you want us to make a noise, we'll make a noise.

This is a story that people need to know. The world needs to know.

Get yourself on television. Tell them.

Go big.

My wife, Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe, 37 -year -old charity

worker, was on holiday visiting her family in Iran.

She was at the airport returning to the UK on the 3rd of April when she was

detained.

by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

She's been transferred to an unknown location in Kerman province.

I'd never heard of Kerman until a few days ago.

But that's where she's been taken. I now intend to go public with whatever

information I have, which is why I'm here, in the office of my MP, asking

my Nazanin's detention be raised in Parliament.

My daughter Gabriella is 22 months old.

She and Nazanin have never spent a day apart.

Never.

She and Nazanin have never spent a day apart.

Right, what's next?

Richard, what are the charges?

What is it she's supposed to have done?

There have been no charges.

Her family have been told that the investigation relates to an issue of

security. Nazanin works for a charity, the Thomson Reuters Foundation. They are

a charity.

And what is the position of the Foreign Office? Have you seen our numbers?

The petition?

No. Over 15 ,000 signatures in one morning.

Rick, people care.

man is urging the government to help secure the release of his wife, who's

held in solitary confinement in Iraq for more than a month. Nazanin Zaghari

-Ratcliffe, who holds dual nationality, has been held for more than a month.

The Iranian government says she was arrested in connection with national

security. Her 22 -month -old daughter is also being kept in the country after

the authorities confiscated her British passport. Her daughter is effectively

trapped in Iraq. Just over a month ago, a British -Iranian woman was about to

get on a plane back to the UK. Parents were told it was an issue of national

security. but there have been no charges and her husband Richard Ratcliffe says

there is nothing to do with her work or her personal background that could

explain her detention.

How's your day?

Oh my God!

Mommy. Mommy. Mommy.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you

are. I'm above the world so high, like a

diamond in the sky.

That is pink and this is blue.

No, this is blue.

This is blue?

Is this blue? Are you sure?

Again.

Again? Yeah.

Web it.

Web it.

Web it.

Up above the world so high

Gabriella, get through.

Get through.

Richard,

she's gone.

Tired. She must be.

She must be so confused.

Yes.

It's sad.

Very sad.

Richard, they have asked for us to tell you to stop.

In your petition, stop speaking to newspapers and television.

Don't you think the only reason the visit took place was because of the

petition, because of the publicity?

The reason the visit was allowed was to give us that message to stop. Look,

Mohammed, I do understand, but they cannot be allowed to do as they please.

They also said if you do not stop, they will hold the family responsible.

Yes, of course they said that.

My father and mother would like you to stop.

Richard, Richard.

Listen to me.

Yeah,

no need to translate. I got the message.

Your father's not happy.

Nazanin was stronger than we thought she would be.

That is the most important.

This is impressive.

Go big, and suddenly you're invited inside.

Hopefully Nazanin's family will see it that way.

Morning.

Morning, all.

Richard, before we go into our meeting proper, the minister would like to say

hi. To you and perhaps one other. He's waiting.

It should be John. Not a problem.

Lights, take a seat.

Thank you.

Mr. Radcliffe, good morning.

Good morning.

Would you care for a cup of tea?

No, no, no. Not for me.

Right, then let me give you my card up front, in case conversations with my

department become at all frustrating.

Thank you.

Though I can assure you they are doing their utmost.

I myself will be meeting with the Iranian charge d 'affaires on the 19th,

will bring this matter up personally.

That's good to hear.

You're meeting with the deputy head of mission? That's correct.

Well, he's a good man, and he will inform you quite rightly that relations

between the UK and Iran are improving, and the fact that they have acknowledged

Nazanin's arrest confirms that.

What we must now not do is react in ways that

strengthen hardliners.

Our advice is patience and quiet.

Quiet enables diplomacy and...

Strategy and progress.

Which is what we want, is it not?

Yes. Very much so.

Good.

My darling little child.

Each morning you will be wondering where I am.

Each morning.

You will feel that I've abandoned you.

That is something I would never do.

Each and every second my body aches for you.

Mohamed? Richard, hi. It is Mohamed.

Can you hear me?

Yes, yes.

Listen, I have Northern in on a different phone.

You do?

Yes. If I put the two phones together, she would like to try to speak with you.

Yes, please do that. Do that.

Richard, can you hear me?

Doesn't it?

All my love for you.

Pasadena, it's so good to hear your voice. I miss you so much. I love you so

much. I love you too. I love you too.

I've been saying you forgot about me.

Never. Never.

No one has forgotten about you.

Every day you are all we think about when only you.

I want this to be over. I want to come home.

I'm so scared.

My love, believe me, we're doing everything we can.

Please stay strong, and I promise this will one day be the past.

I promise.

I promise.

My love?

That's it, isn't it?

Sorry, Richard, but she's gone.
