My name is Richard Radcliffe, husband of Nazanin Zaghari Radcliffe.

Today was to have been day 15 of our joint hunger strike.

I say was because we have just received a call from Evin Prison to say

that Nazanin has broken our hunger strike and I will now break mine.

Open this. I said open this.

I told you to open it.

Open it now.

Oh my God.

Do you see me?

Do you hear me?

Open this.

I told you to open this.

Open it. I told you to open it. Open it.

I'm going to faint.

You're a mother.

Do you have a child?

Be quiet.

When my child returns to England without me, I don't know how to live.

Because I ate this food.

This was my last chance to confess.

Is this my confession?

Is this my confession?

We have been protesting Nazanin's continued incarceration as she faces the

trauma of Gabriela's return to the UK.

But as a mother, she will always do what is best for her daughter.

We are an ordinary family, an innocent family, and hopefully

soon we will be together again.

And hopefully, Nazanin will receive the medical attention she has so far

been denied.

Thank you.

What? Ice bath.

Today is Sunday, and they've granted me a final visit with Keith.

Part of me does not wait to hold her, Mel, and kiss her.

Mama!

But another part of me knows that it is for the last time.

Until when?

I am broken.

You were a father to him.

Are you ready?

I'm ready.

I'm going to get my equipment.

Betty? Betty?

Oh, my dear, don't leave me.

Don't get out of my sight.

Oh, my dear, don't leave me.

This is home.

This is where we live.

You, me, and mummy.

You probably don't remember any of it.

You were tiny.

Richard, where shall I put the suitcases?

We can pop them in the bedrooms through here.

Mohamed, this is your room. You can put your stuff in here. And Gabriella, this

is your bedroom next door to...

Mummy and Daddy's room.

Mohamed?

Gabrielle is saying something.

She says the bed is for a baby.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

You see, the last time you were here, the last time I saw you, you were a

We'll buy you a big girl's bed.

A new bed. A big girl's bed. Because you will need lots of sleep to do well in

school.

Oh,

you must be tired.

Would you like a glass of milk?

And a biscuit?

Follow me.

This is the kitchen in here.

Now I've got a really good book here.

Shall I read you a story?

No, no,

I need to know what she said.

She wants her grandmother to read her a story.

Understandable.

Her grandmother has been a mother.

Richard, how relieved are you to have Gabriella home?

Oh, it's wonderful, of course, to see her again after three and a half years.

To be able to read her a bedtime story, which I did last night.

She's a lot bigger, of course. She went out aged one and three quarters and came

back five with her own views. Thank you very much.

It's wonderful, not a relief as such.

She was always safe, always loved living with her grandparents and of course she

would visit mummy.

Gabriella coming home to Britain will be difficult for both her and Nazanin.

The next step of course is to bring Nazanin home and I believe that can only

done with the repayment of the £400 million debt.

Regardless of what the government says, that is what this whole mess is about.

Does Gabriella speak English?

No, she does not. She might understand a little, but she converses in Farsi.

She's very much looking forward to starting school, and as soon as that

I'm sure her English will follow.

Speaking of the devil, or should I say angel, she's decided to show her face,

and with a cake as well. Do you want to put it up here and we'll share it?

We can cut it. It's a celebration cake, isn't it?

This is Gabriella.

Nargis must come with you.

Nargis, are you going to visit him?

Why? He's over there. Come with me.

Political generation must be free.

Political generation must be free. No, no, no, no. Stop it. Get out of here.

don't want to be bothered by this. You started it.

Nargis, I'm sure you're grateful for those protests.

But three days is enough for this kid.

We'll stay here for seven days.

All seven days. Seven days is nothing.

Thank you for helping me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Let's go somewhere else.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

She says she doesn't want to write a letter for Father Christmas.

She doesn't want him to come in her house.

I think she might be afraid of this stranger.

What do you call Father Christmas in Iran?

Papa Noel, no? Yes, Papa Noel. Well, Gabriella, he's the same person, just a

different name. In England, we call...

baba noel of father christmas and english children write to father

an english girl

can she write another list in english

yes yes of course but look we can just um copy the letters out

Rub it.

I'm ready, Daddy. Are you ready?

Yes. Go.

Oh, my goodness.

You look fantastic.

You look so clever already.

Oh, Mummy is going to be so pleased to see this one day. And a twirl.

Why is Mummy staying with Mamani?

Well, she's not allowed to...

Leave her around. She's allowed to go outside, but not too far, just to the

of the street.

It's really good Mummy isn't in prison, but it's still sad she can't come home.

Not yet.

Does that make sense?

One more Christmas, and then in March of next year, that'll be five years.

That sentence over.

You'll be nearly seven.

Goodness me, an old lady.

I'm not in prison, but I'm still a prisoner.

I cannot wander more than 150 meters from my home, but I can see her

3 ,000 miles away.

I spent days on end watching her, but I'm never with her.

Children, today we are learning letters.

Off. Off.

Not. Not.

On. On.

Off. Off.

Richard, are you working on the laptop again?

Sorry. No, you're working on the laptop. One hundred days.

It was her.

Mohammed, can you not do that, please?

The cupboard's a little dusty.

I am reorganizing. You're not, you're... No, no, no, no. I just lived alone for

too long.

We're okay.

Well, bye -bye.

So good. Good jumping, kangaroo.

After almost five years of separation from her family, the British -Iranian

Nazanin Zaghari -Ratcliffe has been released at the end of her sentence in

Nazanin Zaghari -Ratcliffe, who was jailed in Iran nearly five years ago,

had her ankle tag removed by the authorities to mark the end of her

raising hopes...

of a return to Britain.

With the accusation of widespread propaganda against the Islamic

...the

court has found the culprit.

According to the court's verdict, you are sentenced to one year in prison...

...and then one year in prison for traveling abroad.

The verdict is...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Send somebody to her trial.

Just to sit there.

On their best interest, they said.

They didn't even know when I first sent and sent it.

But I just now know.

Give up all those millions of pounds for one juvenile mother.

Not a fucking chance.

It's leverage.

Not to be squandered.

They'll never pay.

And you do it.

And dear

Richard, never in a million

years did I think you would need to endure another hunger strike.

I know you're adamant that this is the only way to make us visible, and I

respect your decision, but please, don't put your health in danger.

I'm scared.

Properly scared.

My mind is constantly with you and Gisu.

I wonder what she feels about all this.

And how much of this strange reality she'll remember.

So, school is cool?

It is cool.

And what about your teachers?

Cool. And you've made lots of friends?

They're, um, cool.

Oh.

Well, that's cool.

You're very brave.

Yeah.

This way, please.

Under -Secretary James Cleverley is joining us.

There we are. Thanks for coming in.

I simply wanted to say hello, see how you are, and to assure you that we are

doing everything we can to, firstly, to bring her home and, secondly,

to stop her returning to prison.

Your wife's release is a high priority?

Yes. What is it you are doing exactly?

I'm prepared to do whatever it takes.

But, obviously, there are things...

I can't talk to you about, and I'm acutely aware of not making any

I've heard all this before and for years.

I've been asked to trust you and to remain patient. I can no longer do

Nothing has changed.

She is not a prisoner as such. Fundamentally, she is a British citizen

being used as a bargaining chip.

When will the Foreign Office acknowledge this fact?

What do you intend to do about it?

Everything we can possibly do.

Foreign Secretary, do you think it would help if you just paid the Iranians the

money that is owing to them?

As I said at the beginning, there are some things that I can't

possibly talk about.

We have known for years it's all about Britain's failure to honour the IMS

despite it being a legal obligation.

But now, post -Brexit, EU sanctions have completely fallen away.

So there can be no more excuses, it just needs to be paid.

Are you discussing the debt with the Iranians?

We can't disclose details of conversations, but we always, always,

bring up the legitimacy of Nazanin's detention.

Sorry.

I just wanted to say your wife looks so lovely.

It's just so awful what's happened.

Yes. And I hope you're together again very soon.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hundreds of comments like that on social media.

Yeah, and the press.

Creeping interest, I'd say.

Day 15.

There'll be more interest.

Day 15 onwards, it becomes more dangerous.

Oh, good.

You'll never guess who walked past the other day.

The Queen?

Boris Johnson.

He didn't stop, didn't acknowledge me. He just kept his head down and walked

right past.

Oh, my God. Why couldn't you just say hello?

Yeah, or wave.

As she is not allowed, I've been told that conservative MPs are forbidden to

speak to me.

That is ridiculous.

Well, some of them came along anyway.

Instead, I, Jeremy Hunt, came by.

Good. I'm glad.

And a huge number of MPs from other parties.

So at least we're visible again.

How are you?

The truth. Do not say fantastic.

Thanks for stopping by.

Keep it going. Thank you.

A husband of Nazanin Zaghari Radcliffe, the mother from West Hampton, who is

The UK failed to pay a debt to Iran for an arms deal in the 1970s.

Hi.

Thank you for coming, stopping by. Thank you so much. No, no, thank you for

doing this. Anusha would be so grateful.

Oh, no, no, not at all.

Look, we brought a photo and... Oh, yes, fantastic.

Can we put them up on display? Should we put them up over here? And we'd like to

stay with you.

Tonight?

Is that OK for the kids? Stay with you.

That would be most welcome.

Thank you.

Richard. Find a space.

Thank you.

They want to see us. There must be news.

When? Now? Now.

Good morning.

Hi, John. Come in. Yes, John.

Hello. Richard, thank you for coming in. How are you?

Let's get you sat down, shall we? There we go.

The Foreign Secretary isn't here?

Liz had other business.

Another photograph in a tank, maybe.

Richard, this morning I met with the Iranian deputy foreign minister.

The meeting went as well as I could have hoped.

Pleased to hear that.

He understood completely our disappointment that despite serving her

sentence, Nazanin remains captive.

So what's...

What's happening next?

Well, we are making inroads.

We're making what I believe to be real progress.

So the answer to the question what's changed is... ..nothing has

changed. It's as we were, so to speak.

We are making headway.

towards the release of your wife and other detainees.

Hostages?

Call them what they are.

Hostages.

I'm hearing that you called me up here... No, it's OK, Dad. You called me

here on day 18 of my protest to tell me you've met with the Iranian foreign

minister and nothing happened.

We were heard and progress was made, despite your...

We are asking... I'm protesting because you're doing nothing about the debt,

nothing about hostage -taking, nothing about diplomatic protection.

You've established no red lines.

At this rate, she will be put back into prison and you'll still do nothing.

Richard, please, we... We are merely asking for your patience.

Still feeling a little woozy.

I think it's time to call it a day.

21 days tomorrow.

You've done it, Rick.

People know her again. They know her story.

They know about the debt.

If she goes back inside, it could be for years.

I bought her three months at best.

This is the last night.

Tomorrow, we go home.

Yes, of course.

Why? What do we do next?

What

happened?

It was Sehat.

I have a few questions.

You have to call your father.

And then your nephew.

I must see them today.

Look, if you don't call, I'll make contact with the embassy in Tehran.

I can't go back to Britain. I can't do that.

What are you

waiting

for?

Your Iranian passport has been cancelled.

We suggest you get it changed immediately.

Tomorrow.

Give me the schedule, and we'll see when we can reserve your return flight.

Don't tell me soon.

No, not yet.

Let's just talk about something else. Yes.

Yeah, of course.

Where do you renew your passport?

Police station.

Yes,

sir.

Don't go.

Refuse to go.

I have to go.

Listen, it's clearly a lie. If there was a problem with the photograph, they

would have told you at the time.

Richard, I don't want to go, but I know I have to go, so I'm telling you where

I'll be.

Call the embassy. Speak to the embassy.

Speak to the ambassador.

If it's real, they'll know about it.

You will wait for me. Of course I'll wait for you.

We've been assured it's further questions. Nothing more.

$530 million.

The amount of money that the British government has been giving us since you

came to this world.

Please

sign

here.

It's not filled yet.

You sign it and we'll fill it later.

This is the result of all the accusations against you.

I won't sign this.

I didn't commit a crime.

Why should I confess?

You have no choice but to sign this.

Yes.

You committed a crime against me.

You've wronged me, my family, my daughter, my husband for six years.

You've been waiting for six years.

Do you want me to sign an empty paper?

I won't do it.

You're making money.

Why should I be silent?

Miss, we don't mean to upset you.

You have to know that there's nothing left to save your life.

If you don't want it. I know I want it.

But if you don't sign it, you can't come back.

Iran is so big. 530 million.

If it doesn't get 530 million,

it will fall on your neck.

I won't sign it.

I can wait for the doctor.

Listen, madam, I'm sorry.

I have to finish this paper as soon as possible.

Don't say anything else.

Listen and see what I say.

We weren't sure how much longer you'd be.

Can you give us a minute?

As the British ambassador, I would like to inform you they want me to sign a

form. A confession.

Look, it means nothing.

I'm not signing.

I've done nothing wrong. I told them I'd speak to my lawyer. They also said I'm

being swapped for money.

I shouldn't have mentioned money.

Why not?

It's always been about the debt.

Madeline, I believe it to be in your best interests to go back and sign the

form.

Please understand that it has no legal standing under British law.

It means nothing.

To you it means nothing.

Sign the form and as early as tomorrow you may receive notification to go to

airport.

May I ask you a question?

When you left Iran and came home,

is there anything you want from us?

Don't worry, we're foreigners.

We can never return to our country.

Iran is our home.

Wherever we are, our home is here.

Yes,

hello? Richard, it's the Foreign Office here.

Lead negotiator on Nazmin's case.

I'm calling from the British Embassy in Tehran. You were expecting my call. I

was.

But not from... Tehran. I'll be brief and to the point.

We are requesting that you are now very careful with the media and your comments

in general, please.

Things are extremely sensitive and we all need to tread carefully.

You'd like me to remain quiet?

Yes, we would.

I can't put a timescale on things, just as I cannot emphasize enough how

delicate things are.

I understand.

Completely.

I got it.

Thank you.

Thank

you.

Excuse me, Mrs. Zaghari -Ratcliffe?

I am a representative of the Armenian government.

I am here to observe only.

Mr. Anoushia Shouri is here also.

Thank you.

Just look at your face.

I'm sorry, sir.

You need to come and open it.

You need to open it.

Hello?

Hello?

I love you too.

I love you too. I love you too.

I love you too.

I love you too.

I love you too.

I'm not better.

I didn't do anything

wrong.

Good job.

Nathalie. May I call you Nathalie?

Yes. I'm the lead negotiator from the Foreign Office.

They tell me you are refusing to sign.

Of course I'm refusing to sign.

It's blank.

They could write anything they like. It's a lie.

May I have a private moment, please?

Thank you.

Nazanin, we are very close to your release. I don't trust them. I am asking

to trust me.

The document, it's meaningless.

I've done nothing wrong.

I want them to understand that. You'll be signing under duress. If you do not

sign, I cannot guarantee your release.

You will not be boarding the airplane that's now sitting on the runway waiting

for you.

Your family are waiting for you.

Thank you

for watching.

Oh, Sonny.
