If you're happy and you know it, clap
your hands.

If you're happy and you know it, clap
your hands.

If you're happy and you know it and you
really want to show it, if you're happy

and you know it, clap your hands.

Shall we do it again?

Yeah. If you're happy and you know it,
clap your hands.

If you're happy and you know it, clap
your hands.

They're definitely watching, the
Iranians.

Yes. They'll be filming us.

Stay off my piece of birthday cake.

Best not. As you say, as long as they
know we're here, that's all that

Although it is forbidden, and although I
fear punishment, I need to write down

what is happening to me and how I feel.

Today was yet another interrogation,
last a gauss.

Same question over and over.

What is your machine?

They terrorize and intimidate me.

They know my weakness as my family, my
child, my husband.

You'll be ready in 8 minutes.

Let's go.

Hello?

Hello, Mom. It's me.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I

don't

know.

Welcome.

The boy is waiting for you in Tehran.

Who are my passports for?

What? Are my passports for you?

Come on, don't talk so much.

I don't know.

Come on, sit down.

Hello. Yeah. Hello.

I need it.

Why do you need it?

All right.

Can I wash my hands?

Yes.

I can't believe it!

I can do whatever you want.

You just need to pull one leg.

camera there you go

um

I'll be here.

I'm worried.

Take her inside.

What?

Inside. No.

No, I'm not coming. No, no, no.

No,

no, no.

Thank you for watching.

Another lie, another game, and now she's
God knows where.

Can we ask, have they actually
officially asked the question, where is

the hell's going on, or is that not
allowed? In fairness, the Foreign Office

will say they've already asked that
question. Yeah, but we've received not

satisfactory answer.

At the moment, I can only follow
government advice and, for the sake of

Nazanin's safety, not speak out in
public.

Yeah, I can't rule out not going to Iran
myself.

I think I need to go there.

But it's not safe, Richard, and the
Foreign Office would never allow it. But

think that's a decision for later.

How much later?

How much later?

. .

.

.

No,

I don't know.

Roozay? Yes.

Good.

Roozay will bring you closer to God.

I'm going to the mosque tonight.

I know you have a little boy.

Because of him... I'm going to think
about you tonight. And whether you're

to make it or not. I didn't make it.

I'm innocent.

I'm just a mother who abandoned her
child.

Your judgment will be given soon.

If I believe that I'm innocent, I can
order him to be released.

But if I don't believe it, he won't be
released. I'm innocent.

I have to see my son.

I'm his mother.

I didn't give birth to him.

My baby is born.

I didn't do anything.

That's all I can say.

I was thinking about you.

I'll leave you to God.

I'm a mother.

I'm a mother. I'm a mother.

I'm a mother.

I'm a

mother.

Tell me, what did the judge say to you?

Or do you want me to ask you myself?

He said it's possible that I'll be
released soon.

If you tell him that I'm innocent.

That I'm innocent.

Listen to me.

It's not the judge's job to make a
decision.

It's a very small matter that you think.

My son will be okay.

When he finds out.

Hello?

Hello.

. . . . . .

Are these yours?

Nothing

new to

report, Mr. Ratcliffe. Which is not to
say dialogue's halted.

Both the ambassador and minister are
involved personally. Did you see my

We did. We read all of your emails.

She was told she was to be released.

She called her family and told them a
car would be taking her to Kerman

Yes, I saw.

Did she get inside the car? Did she
travel to the airport? Where is she now?

These are my concerns.

Is she alive? Is there another? We are
raising these shared concerns, Mr

Ratcliffe. Let me assure you, we are
taking this matter very seriously.

Thank you.

One question.

Why are you here?

When you still have other more important
things to be getting on with.

Yeah, I'm doing my best, Patrick. I'm

getting some things done. I don't think
I've been totally useless. Richard, I'm

not suggesting anything other than pay
leave of absence.

So go.

Get Nazanin home safely.

Then come back and do your job.

Take a look at this photograph.

It's pictures.

Taken from my phone.

This is private.

Who are these people?

Who do you think they are?

You know who they are. They're my
family. It's my husband's brother,

his new wife, and an elephant.

Do I need to tell you which is which?

I don't know.

I'm telling the truth.

Do my family know where I am?

Do my family know where I am?

You have been trained to lie.

The names you've just spoken, I don't
know.

I am telling you the truth.

I was raised to tell the truth.

She said that you have encouraged her to
flee from Iran.

That is not true.

And cross the Kurdish border.

That is not true.

Are you saying she's lying to me?

No, I'm saying that you is not telling
the truth.

But your cell is bugged. We've heard
every word spoken.

Then you will know what I'm saying is
true.

Stop it with your lies and your tricks.

Stop it.

This will not end until you cooperate.

We are very patient.

I want to see my daughter. I want to
speak to my husband, my family. Why are

doing this to me? Why?

Why? Why?

Why?

My body is aching for you.

It knows you're gone and I miss you.

Where have you been all this time?

What have you been doing?

What have you been thinking each day
when I'm not there?

Richard! Richard!

Richard!

Sign it.

At least you'll be able to see your
child.

I brought my child here to show him
Iran. I wanted him

to love my country.

Did you hear what I said?

I want you to tell me everything you've
been doing Thank you.

Thank you.

I want to talk

to

your husband.

Tell him to talk to the British
government.

And he'll accept the agreement.

If I do this, his wife will be free with
your sister.

What's the agreement?

What should I tell Richard?

Yes, yes, I am. As far as I've been able
to establish, there is no such deal.

Nothing.

Well, I'm just repeating what her
brother in Iran was told.

I mean, if there's no such deal, then
why would they say there is?

The Iranians say many things.

There is no deal, no agreement to be
made.

We have no idea why her interrogators
would claim that there is.

Right, thank you.

Who do you think's telling the truth?

The Iranians saying there is an
agreement to be made or the Foreign

saying there isn't?

I want to believe the Iranians because
that means there's a reason Nazanin's

being held.

But I... I also want to believe in the
Foreign Office and that

maybe there's a reason they can't say
anything. That's right.

We don't know.

I desperately want to trust them.

Us.

The British.

They will be doing something.

. . . . .

. . . . . .

All anyone's interested in is Brexit.

Thank you for coming.

Today marks the 100th day of Nazanin's
abduction.

For 100 days, a mother, a British
citizen, has been held inside an Iranian

prison, willfully separated from her
child.

The intelligence services are admitting
that they are detaining a mother and

baby, not because of any suspicious
activity in Iran, but as collateral for

unknown political deal.

And they have asked me to make this
unknown deal known to you, the media.

Now, backed by over 780 ,000 voices,
this petition will be delivered to

10. I'm asking the Prime Minister, David
Cameron, and his Foreign Secretary,

Philip Hammond,

Iran's actions in Parliament and to ask
the question, what is this deal Iran is

seeking?

Thank you.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm Waki Madafeh. Be quiet.

I see you're an employee.

Yes.

It's my wedding anniversary.

Do you have a child?

I have a daughter.

She's two years old.

What's your job?

I'm a building manager at Thomson
Reuters.

We don't have any news and we don't do
anything in Iran either.

How did you come back to all this with
such a naive attitude?

I was waiting for something better.

I didn't do any of this.

Did you work for the BBC?

Yes, a few years ago, when I was new to
the job, I did some administrative work

for the military.

Did you teach the BBC in Farsi?

No, no, I didn't do anything at all.

Excuse me, sir.

If my time is up, it's the size of the
regime.

According to the law, the Ministry of
Intelligence is responsible for the

Not the Ministry of Intelligence.

From now on, you're free to comment on
these issues.

It's a legal issue. Don't comment on
things that have nothing to do with you.

I want to get to the point quickly. I'll
ask you questions and you'll write your

answers. You don't have to write too
many.

I'll read them all later.

Mr. Qazi... My answers are the same as
before.

I don't accept any of these accusations.

I didn't do anything.

I beg you.

Please let me go back to my son.

Mr. Shabani.

You will prepare your defense letter.

And by the end of tomorrow's
administration, you will go to my

Goodbye.

For Nazanin, they say that stone will
turn into ruby by enduring patience.

Yes, it will.

But with that comes so much pain.

From Farah.

For Farah, thank you for your poem.

I pray it will give me the strength I
will need in the years to come.

Yeah.

I made up my mind.

And this is my decision.

You can sign it.

You have to read it first.

As you wish.

You've been accused of trying to
overthrow the Islamic Republic.

You've been sentenced to five years in
prison.

I'm not going to prison.

I'm going to change.

I'm going to change.

I'm going to change.

I'm going to change.

I'm sorry, Michelle.

I'm so sorry.

You call your husband and give him your
order.

I don't want to call my husband.

It's embarrassing for him.

I don't want my husband to be like this.

You call your husband and give him your
order.

But you only say this.

The English know what we want.

They just want something that belongs to
us.

Richard, my love.

Nazalyn, darling.

How are you? Where are you?

Richard, they say I'm guilty.

Of what?

I've been sentenced to five years in
prison.

Guilty of what?

Five years.

What is it they say you are convicted
of? In five years, my baby will be

No, no, that's an in. No, no, listen to
me.

We will get through this, and I promise,
I promise you, I'll devote every hour

to bringing you home. Five years apart.

We will bring you home.

You're not going to get up.

You're not going to get up. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hello. Is this Richard Radcliffe?

Husband to Nazanin Zaghari?

Who is this?

I can't say.

Not yet.

Is this Richard Radcliffe?

It is.

Richard, do you have a pen and paper?

You are going to want to write this
down.

Yes, go on.

Regarding your claim of an outstanding
deal between the Iranian and British

governments, you are not wrong. The
company you should investigate is called

IMS, International Military Services
Limited.

They are fully owned by the British
Ministry of Defense.

They owe money, and they are currently
being dragged through the British courts

by MOD Iran, no less.

If this is all true, it would help to
know who you are. It's all true, my

friend. Dig deep. The information is
there.

Good luck.

2002 and we have something interesting.

IMS make a payment of £400 million to a
UK court as a security of bond.

Why would they do that?

A dispute.

It has to be some kind of debt, doesn't
it? It is a debt. Look.

An award of damages plus interest was
made against the company in connection

with a contractual dispute with the
government of Iran.

There's a reduction in the debt from
£500 to £400 million in 2006, but after

that, there's no record of either a £400
million payment or cancellation of the

debt.

A statement for the subsequent years
shows that the dispute is ongoing.

The latest negotiation is taking place
in 2016.

Just before Nazanin was taken.

We'll need to see the court records from
2002 to the present. Get on to Penny

Madden.

IMS did indeed pay...

a sizable amount of money to the uk
courts as security for a debt owed to

the claimant being the iranian ministry
of defense wow

it all dates back to the 1970s would you
believe over 40 years ago

but this argument is still very much
alive in fact

Closed -door negotiations between the UK
and Iranian governments last took place

in March and May of this year, 2016.

The outcome of these negotiations was
what, Penny?

Well, as far as I can see, no agreement
was reached.

We were told they were holding on to her
in May.

Coincidence, or were the Iranians trying
to force an agreement?

Penny, can you talk us through
everything you found, please, beginning

1970s?

1971, and the oil -rich Shah of Iran
signs a £650 million

contract with the British government for
weaponry and military vehicles,

including tanks.

The contract is made with the commercial
arm of the MOD, International Military

Services, a limited company, IMS.

Fast forward to 1978, 1979, and we have
the Iranian Revolution.

I remember it. I remember it being on
the news.

The Shah is overthrown and he flees the
country.

At this point, the Shah has already paid
£100 million to IMS.

Four tanks which, by the odd few, have
yet to be delivered and now will never

delivered. So Iran wants its money back.

We're impressed.

And why not?

They're demanding their money back.

This is when? Early 1980s. It becomes a
legal dispute early 1990s. Iran takes

IMF to the European Court of Arbitration
in the Netherlands and they win.

IMS appeals on spurious grounds. The
case goes to the Dutch Supreme Court,

rules in favour of Iran, and the
arbitration becomes enforceable.

So where's the problem, besides us
paying the silly buggers?

Well, initially the Iran -Iraq war.

Saddam Hussein was our man in the Middle
East.

Iraq actually received some of the tanks
Iran had paid for. Oh, dear God.

The war lasts between 1980 and 1988.
Legal arguments begin early

90s all the way through to the
noughties. Then EU sanctions against

around about 2008.

But everything changed in January this
year, 2016.

The nuclear deal.

JCPOA?

Yes. What's that?

Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
between Iran, the US and the EU.

Very good, Jeff.

Common knowledge.

The Plan of Action allowed EU sanctions
to be lifted, that is, most sanctions.

Meaning that we, the UK, could pay 400
million to the Iranian Ministry of

Health, for instance.

But they can't pay, won't pay, the now
400 million to the Iranian Ministry of

Defence. Even though it's their money.

Even though we'd just be giving it back.

Exactly. So it's not a payment, it's a
refund.

What we have to do is show that this
debt is the reason Nazanin was taken.

Oh.

It's all there.

Where are you?

I know you're here.

Who are you?

Please tell me who you are.

I know you're here.

Bring it, bring it, bring it. Easy,
easy.

Leave it here.

We need to eat.

This story won't last long. It's been
five years.

It's been seven years.

No.

It won't last that long.

Why don't you talk to me?

Please contact Barichard.

Call him.

Talk to him.

I can't do this.

What do you mean?

I want you to care for Gabriella like I
know you will.

Nazanin, what are you saying?

It would be easier for you to forget me.

You must move on with your life without
me.

No, Nazanin, no, I do not accept that.

I need you.

Gabriella needs you. We love you. That
isn't going to change.

Ever.

Hello?

I, uh, I, the man, um,

uh, looking after your, uh, wife.

I hope you, uh, will collect

her soon.

I want to say it out loud. I

want the public to know that my wife is
being held in solitary confinement in an

Iranian prison.

for the non -payment of a 40 -year -old
tank debt.

I feel the Foreign Office know that too,
but they won't admit it.

So... How best do we do that?

I know a journalist at the Sunday Times
who might help.

Is he good? Do we know him?

No, you wouldn't know him, but he's well
thought of.

Yeah, Sunday Times is good.

I'm in a splash in the Times. May
well...

leads to more publicity.

We could try for the Today programme.

It is a political story.

I think we should inform the Foreign
Office of our intentions.

I'll write to Tobias Elwood, tell him we
have all the details of the tank debt

and request a meeting.

My dear darling husband, I've loved you
so much.

Forgive me.

I cannot be apart from you.

I cannot be apart from Gisu.

And I cannot bear for you to be apart
from your daughter whom you love so

dearly.

I release you, my love.

He doesn't eat.

And as a result, he has no power. I
mean, he has no life.

He doesn't eat.

How can you allow him not to eat?

You can ask him. He's here.

Please get him ready.

Please.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Ma 'am, a glass of water. Bring a glass
of water.

I release you, my love.

She must have written the note when she
was refusing food.

Is that all?

But now things have changed.

They brought her food when we were
there.

She is a prize to them.

She has value.

She needs to know that she has not
forgotten.

She needs to know that we are here. I am
here.

Always.

Do you hear me, Mohammed? Always.

And always will be.

Always.

She needs to know I will keep.

A woman who's in jail in Iran has
accused the Foreign Office of dragging

feet on seeking her release. Her
husband, Richard Rackett, says the

Office has not done all it could do, and
he thinks he knows why. She's been used

as a bargaining chip. Iran says that
Britain owes it £400 million as part of

arms deal dating back 40 years or so.
The Foreign Office won't tell us

about that particular situation.

You've seen it?

Yeah, I've seen it. What the fuck has
happened?

Were we not promised a splash?

With only one source, it's you claiming
one thing and the Foreign Office saying

another.

And I think we may well have been
briefed against.

Meaning what?

Meaning that one or two people in the
media will have been told, quite

sympathetically, that...

Richard Ratcliffe is understandably
emotional and going through a very

and traumatic time.

So what now?

You answer your phone, we'll go for a
pint.

It's Penny.

Penny, yes, I've seen it. Forget that,
that's old news. We've been offered a

meeting with Tobias Elwood.

When? Day after tomorrow.

It's unheard of.

Is he rattled, you think?

Well, we certainly have his attention.

Both we at the Foreign Office and the
Iranian minister are aware of your most

recent press appearance, the BBC's Today
programme and the piece in the Sunday

Times.

Yes.

The Iranians are concerned that you're
trying to politicise the agenda.

No, all I want to do is to bring Nazanin
home safely and soon.

Which is what I told them.

But it does not help that you appear to
be, if not misinformed, then misguided.

Your emotional response is, of course,
natural and understandable.

Perhaps some form of therapy might help.

Thank you for your concern. And perhaps
if I clarified the position in relation

to the tanks.

Please.

The tanks were due to be sold to the
Iranians in the 1970s. The British

government took the money but did not
supply the tanks.

Instead, those tanks went to Iraq.

All the money received from Iran then
sat in an account.

However, due to the sanctions now in
place, it's not possible to deliver this

money to Iran.

There's no way around this, by using the
Omanis, for example?

No. The Iranians are aware of this.

So what did the Revolutionary Guard mean
when they said... tell your government

to do a deal.

Well, they are part of a hard -line
government who are encouraging you to

highlight quite falsely that the West
does not play fair.

Pure propaganda.

Nazanin being taken and the tank deal
are very much two separate issues.

Then why have they taken her, if not for
leverage?

Paranoia. You would agree there are
thousands of Iranians in exactly the

position as Nazanin.

Anyone who appears suspicious will be on
their radar.

This is a mother and baby. The only
thing that could identify Nazanin as

suspicious is her dual nationality.

Her passport is why she was taken, and
her passport gives them leverage.

It's not us or our campaign that has
politicized her kidnapping. You are

emotional, and under enormous pressure
of that, I am certain.

And pressure leads to...

Misunderstandings. Make no mistake.

The Iranians watch for every word
spoken, be it Prime Minister's questions

the press or the Today programme.

Your approach and your campaign are, to
put it bluntly, damaging.

You have people around you who are
saying, well done, but they are wrong.

We must be seen by the Iranians,
Richard, to be as one.

You could tweet that you've just met
with Tobias Elwood, for example.

You mean, well, of course you do, but
perhaps a more useful outlet for both

and Nazanin would be to keep a diary.

I brought you a conversation.

We can eat together.

I love you, Farah.

I love you, too.
