LAUGHTER

CHATTER

The joke's of a reasonable standard,
I think.

How does Good King Wenceslas...?
PHONE RINGS

Not bad. They're only
cheap crackers, after all.

Overseas.

Hello?

Richard, my love. Merry Christmas!
Nazanin. My goodness!

Well, it's, erm,
it's not quite Merry Christmas,

but, erm, so much the better
for hearing your voice.

Are you eating?
I am. I'm feeling much better.

Much, much better.

It's so good to hear your voice.

I've got good news.

I've been told they're moving me
to the general ward.

Well, that is good news.
That's what you need. Company.

I hope the other women will like me.

Of course they will.
It's impossible not to like you.

Where are you?

I'm at my parents' house
having Christmas dinner

and thinking about you
the whole time.

And a Merry, Merry Christmas
to all your beautiful family.

Are you wearing a paper hat?

Er, no. I will if you want me to.

You should.

For me.

Yeah. Then, erm, then I will,
for you.

It's been snowing here.
A white Christmas.

I've been imagining Gisou
seeing the snow for the first time,

playing in the snow.
I can hear her laughing, Gisou.

We'll do that together.

Play with her in the snow.

Erm, hey, do you, erm,
do you throw snowballs in Iran?

Of course we throw snowballs.
Goloole barfi.

What?

Erm...

..goloole barfi.
It's Persian for snowball.

OK, so one day I'm going
to hit you right on the nose

with a goloole barfi.

Is that a promise?

Promise.

This is my dad.

CHATTER

Very happy. Very happy.

Merci.

Nazanin? Nazanin!

Farah!

Nazanin...

Merci.

I want to say thank you
for the kindness.

We've all felt it.

The response to the campaign
has been overwhelming.

And if I may say first,
thanks to the Hampstead mums

for their march
past Trafalgar Square,

Downing Street,
and to the Foreign Office,

where we sang
and they came to their windows.

They heard us.

CHATTER, MUSIC

Assalaamu Alaikum.

BABY CRIES

SHE SNIFFS

Nazanin...

RICHARD: Five years.

After serving a third
of her sentence,

she will be eligible for parole.

Should that be our next target?

Suddenly it feels real.

She's already served ten months.

That could mean parole
within the next year.

Yeah, I said it feels real.

I don't for a minute believe
we should be accepting it

as inevitable. We're discussing
options, Rick. That's all.

Well, thank God she has Gabriella
and her family.

Targeting parole would seem to be
a very sensible option.

It would get her out of prison
and with her family.

The Foreign Office would be onboard
with that, I'm sure.

The minister has agreed
to meet with us

to discuss his recent visit
to Tehran.

We should listen to
what he has to say.

He'll want to carry on
where they left off last year,

talk about repatriating Gabriella.
It's not an option.

I made a promise
to bring Nazanin home.

That's what I'll do.

They come home together.

George will have updated you on
the nuts and bolts of my meetings

in Tehran.

We focused heavily on all
dual nationality cases.

They, of course,
do not recognise dual nationality,

but I do feel, realistically, it was
as successful as it could have been.

That's good to hear.

We have to get the Iranian
judicial authorities on our side.

And once again,
I am going to be open here -

I remain vehemently opposed
to your strategy.

OK. You are venturing beyond the
compassion of a father and a husband

and shifting more into
a political space.

The Iranians see it the same
and have said as such.

Nazanin being taken as a hostage
is politically motivated.

Your campaigning is undermining
what we're trying to achieve -

Nazanin's and others' release.

Their Deputy Foreign Minister
had a record of every word spoken

by both me and you.
He had the file sat upon his lap.

You criticising the Foreign Office
looks like we are not communicating.

Going forward, we would like to
present you as someone

desperate to be united
with his family,

not someone interested
in tank deals.

Yeah. Thank you for your, erm,
sincerity and integrity,

but I've looked at other earlier
cases of hostage taking,

and remaining silent has yielded
those families no result whatsoever.

There has been unseen progress.

And if the Iranians are saying
I'm political,

I take that to mean
I'm an inconvenience.

That will not change.

Well, then, you are compounding
the problem.

Perhaps Richard could write to
President Rouhani himself,

as a husband and father.

Yes, but that would be better
once Gabriella is back home,

then the content of the letter
could be... She can't come back.

Gabriella is the only thing
keeping Nazanin alive.

I will give you my mobile number,
but I can only advise...

..it is unhelpful
if we are not seen as one team.

Hold that criticism,
share it with the world,

but only once she's out.

Richard. Richard, come here.

I think we should hear him.
Give him a chance to cooperate.

Say what they want us to say?

No, no. They know you would
never agree to that.

If he is now speaking directly to
the Iranian ministry,

or judiciary even, it does make
sense to work together in sync,

just see where it takes us.

So we back off talking about
the debt? For now, yes.

We still press for parole,
but we give the Foreign Office

the space and time
they've requested.

It's your decision.

OK? Take a minute
and think about it.

I agreed to keep quiet.
What good did it do?

Did you see his fucking tweet?
Tobias Ellwood.

Saying they're awaiting permission
from the family

to repatriate Gabriella.
Yeah, I've seen it.

I've had phone calls, emails, I've
been doorstepped by journalists,

even, all with the same
question slash accusation,

"Why am I being such a bad parent?

"Why am I leaving my two-year-old
daughter languishing in Iran?

"Why won't I bring her home?"
Well, ignore it.

Questions are planned and
deliberate, designed to shift focus.

If the Government are asked about
Nazanin, they want to be

talking about something other than
the tank deal.

So that something, they've decided,
is Gabriella.

All to save them the inconvenience
of talking about money they've owed

and not paid for more than 40 years.

Welcome to Westminster.

I feel like now I'm fighting
two governments,

the Iranians and my own.

What is it?

A gift.

From a complete stranger.

That's nice.

It is.

A blanket for you and Gabriella.

What is that you're knitting?

I'm making a cardigan.
For me?

I think you dropped a stitch.

Nazanin? Nazanin?

SINGING

My darling Richard,
the women here are so kind to me.

No matter how sad
and scared they are,

how unkind the world has been
to them, they care.

Humanity and goodness
has never left them.

Did I say one of the older women
helped me bake a cake

for Gisou's third birthday,

in a pan on top of the stove,
would you believe?

It's incredible what resourcefulness
they have.

They live in the present
and they believe in the future.

But as the months slip by,
my hope's fading...

..and I'm filled with
an inescapable depression.

Tell me this will end.

Tell me I will be coming home.

I live for Gisou's visits.

I miss her cuddles
when she's not here.

I miss you, my love,

I miss you.

Look at what
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was doing.

She was simply teaching
people journalism,

as I understand it...

Should've heard by now.

One hour till the House sits.

There's time yet.
Do you know what you'll say?

Yes. Tell him she'll most
likely be hauled into

an interrogation room
because of this.

PHONE RINGS

Oliver Denton.

Hi. Your question has been accepted.

Thank you.

Question accepted.

My constituent,
Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe,

has been in prison in Iran
for 18 months now.

She's separated from her daughter,
often in solitary confinement,

and denied access to medical
treatment, all because

she was a British citizen
having a holiday in Iran.

The Foreign Secretary,
his ministers,

and even the Prime Minister
will be aware of this

because I have raised the case
countless times in the House.

It is not enough
for the Foreign Secretary

not to know the basic details
of the case.

It is unforgivable
to repeat the lies

of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

And to say that I should be clearer,
does not cut it

when it is a matter of life
and death.

SHE SOBS

Richard, I've spent 18 months
in prison,

nine months in solitary confinement.

I've endured nine months
of interrogations,

all of the time speaking the truth.

Of course you were.

They say the British Government
have admitted that I'm a spy.

And now there's to be
a second trial.

My God.

But listen,
I'm meeting with someone,

the man responsible, in fact,
and good may come of it.

Why? Why did he say it at all?
I don't understand.

A mistake.
He has admitted he was mistaken.

But things are happening once again.
Good things, we hope.

I've got to go.

I will bring you home.

Promise. Promise me.

I promise.

OK.

Know that I love you...

..and I miss you so very much.

I miss you.

Tulip!

Tulip ! Richard!

Sorry. I thought you might want
to see this before you see him.

It's effectively saying
Nazanin's a hostage,

and it talks about Boris
paying the debt.

Well, that's interesting.
That is interesting.

I mean, this is Johnson's newspaper,
Johnson's mouthpiece.

After his fuck-up,
maybe he wants to be seen to be,

you know, saving the day.

It might be useful if I recap
our meeting with Foreign Secretary

Mr Johnson. He was clear that he was
taking Nazanin's case very

seriously. He said that he thought
the campaign had moved the country.

It was important for me to stress
the urgency of Nazanin's situation.

We talked about his forthcoming
trip to Iran.

We talked about whether
I might accompany him.

He said he was keen to take me,
but that was something

to be resolved within
the Foreign Office.

I am hopeful that he will do
everything he can

to bring Nazanin home by Christmas.

Did he apologise?
We talked about what happens next,

how to help Nazanin now,
and I'm very grateful for that.

First instincts, I was worried.

Boris still didn't have
his facts clear.

He asked me how I enjoyed my trip
to Iran with Nazanin,

as if I'd left her there.

But, to be fair, we all came out of
the meeting thinking he'll sort it.

Get the debt paid. The people
at The Sun wouldn't be saying this

if they didn't have knowledge
of Treasury approval.

You would hope not.

Yeah. Can we check? Can we find out?

No, they won't share.

The Foreign Office still insists
there is no link between the

detention of Nazanin and the moneys
owed for non-delivered tanks.

All that said,
it is impossible not to be hopeful.

And politically, it could well be
that it is now or never.

Yeah, a month ago, we didn't matter.

His cock-up before that committee
has changed all that.

Now he just needs to get it
over the line.

Nazanin.

LAUGHTER

Do I decorate or wait...

..and we do it together?

ALL REPEAT

What are you going to have?
Red or white?

Oh, it smells great.
Great job.

Do you think this is big enough?

Can I just say?
Let's toast the chef.

What a spread! Really?
She's done it again.

And also, can I just say?
Absent friends.

Yes. Of course. Fingers crossed.
Merry Christmas.

ALL: Merry Christmas.

Cheers. Happy Christmas.

Richard...

..Boris Johnson has been and gone.

I know, and nothing.

The new charges against me,
all of them fabricated.

I'm constantly being
refused furlough,

not to mention parole.

Gisou is growing up without me.

Nothing. Nothing is changing,
Richard.

Get me the fuck out of here.

Get me the fucking fuck out of
here. Do you hear me?

I do, and I won't stop.

Every day, I'll be working to get
you the fuck out of there,

believe me.

In a day of extraordinary drama
at Westminster,

the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson
has become the second

senior minister to resign
from Theresa May's government.

Well, Boris Johnson has led his
political career as a colourful

maverick. Our deputy
political editor John Pienaar

has been looking back at his time
as Foreign Secretary.

Up or down,
in or out of government...

Thank you for your service.

Good luck with your career, sir.

Onwards and fucking upwards,
no doubt.

She's, erm...

She's grown up.

She really has.
She's just so wonderful.

Takes after her father.

Maybe.

Her mother will be 40 soon.

I always wanted to do a road trip
around Italy for my 40th.

We can do that.

We will do that.

We will.

I will be 40 and then Gisou
will be five the following June,

then school in the September.

Yes.

She must go to school in the UK

and be with at least
one of her parents.

She must go home.

She will leave Iran aged five.

It makes sense, I suppose.

Of course it makes sense. I said it.

I want to kiss you.

I miss you so much.
I miss you.

I want to make her a dress
for her next birthday.

I'll need some fabric.
Liberty fabric.

Liberty.

Mm. Really?

Ironic, but I like it.

I love you,
and I'm very, very proud of you.

HE SOBS

I'm looking to buy
some Liberty fabric.

It's for my wife. She's making
a dress for our daughter.

Well, these are the Liberty fabrics.

Right.

I think this one.

And how old is your daughter?
She's four.

Five next birthday.

I'd, erm, rather buy too much
than too little.

OK.
