1
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:20,780
If you're happy and you know it, clap
your hands.

2
00:00:21,380 --> 00:00:24,560
If you're happy and you know it, clap
your hands.

3
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,159
If you're happy and you know it and you
really want to show it, if you're happy

4
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,900
and you know it, clap your hands.

5
00:00:32,180 --> 00:00:34,260
Shall we do it again?

6
00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:37,640
Yeah. If you're happy and you know it,
clap your hands.

7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,060
If you're happy and you know it, clap
your hands.

8
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:44,740
They're definitely watching, the
Iranians.

9
00:00:45,020 --> 00:00:47,130
Yes. They'll be filming us.

10
00:00:49,370 --> 00:00:51,270
Stay off my piece of birthday cake.

11
00:00:52,730 --> 00:00:57,250
Best not. As you say, as long as they
know we're here, that's all that

12
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:21,619
Although it is forbidden, and although I
fear punishment, I need to write down

13
00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:23,560
what is happening to me and how I feel.

14
00:01:25,220 --> 00:01:28,480
Today was yet another interrogation,
last a gauss.

15
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,340
Same question over and over.

16
00:01:32,180 --> 00:01:33,420
What is your machine?

17
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,720
They terrorize and intimidate me.

18
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:42,680
They know my weakness as my family, my
child, my husband.

19
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,500
You'll be ready in 8 minutes.

20
00:01:57,380 --> 00:01:58,430
Let's go.

21
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:48,750
Hello?

22
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:01,020
Hello, Mom. It's me.

23
00:03:01,550 --> 00:03:02,600
I don't know.

24
00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:04,050
I don't know.

25
00:03:04,051 --> 00:03:04,949
I

26
00:03:04,950 --> 00:03:19,369
don't

27
00:03:19,370 --> 00:03:20,420
know.

28
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:41,760
Welcome.

29
00:03:42,750 --> 00:03:44,710
The boy is waiting for you in Tehran.

30
00:03:47,150 --> 00:03:48,450
Who are my passports for?

31
00:03:49,230 --> 00:03:52,010
What? Are my passports for you?

32
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:53,590
Come on, don't talk so much.

33
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:55,440
I don't know.

34
00:03:56,210 --> 00:03:57,260
Come on, sit down.

35
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,860
Hello. Yeah. Hello.

36
00:04:42,549 --> 00:04:43,890
I need it.

37
00:04:44,290 --> 00:04:45,630
Why do you need it?

38
00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:51,300
All right.

39
00:04:53,890 --> 00:04:55,050
Can I wash my hands?

40
00:04:55,770 --> 00:04:56,820
Yes.

41
00:05:20,330 --> 00:05:21,380
I can't believe it!

42
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:16,540
I can do whatever you want.

43
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,180
You just need to pull one leg.

44
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,539
camera there you go

45
00:06:57,540 --> 00:07:10,920
um

46
00:07:35,020 --> 00:07:36,070
I'll be here.

47
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,130
I'm worried.

48
00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:08,150
Take her inside.

49
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,010
What?

50
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,560
Inside. No.

51
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120
No, I'm not coming. No, no, no.

52
00:08:14,121 --> 00:08:15,359
No,

53
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,410
no, no.

54
00:08:51,150 --> 00:08:52,290
Thank you for watching.

55
00:09:58,741 --> 00:10:04,389
Another lie, another game, and now she's
God knows where.

56
00:10:04,390 --> 00:10:08,949
Can we ask, have they actually
officially asked the question, where is

57
00:10:08,950 --> 00:10:11,769
the hell's going on, or is that not
allowed? In fairness, the Foreign Office

58
00:10:11,770 --> 00:10:14,929
will say they've already asked that
question. Yeah, but we've received not

59
00:10:14,930 --> 00:10:16,050
satisfactory answer.

60
00:10:16,290 --> 00:10:20,689
At the moment, I can only follow
government advice and, for the sake of

61
00:10:20,690 --> 00:10:23,910
Nazanin's safety, not speak out in
public.

62
00:10:25,270 --> 00:10:27,620
Yeah, I can't rule out not going to Iran
myself.

63
00:10:28,510 --> 00:10:29,710
I think I need to go there.

64
00:10:29,711 --> 00:10:34,899
But it's not safe, Richard, and the
Foreign Office would never allow it. But

65
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:37,280
think that's a decision for later.

66
00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:41,950
How much later?

67
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,570
How much later?

68
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,319
. .

69
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:20,559
.

70
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:25,340
.

71
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,400
No,

72
00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:41,510
I don't know.

73
00:12:04,829 --> 00:12:06,030
Roozay? Yes.

74
00:12:06,390 --> 00:12:07,440
Good.

75
00:12:07,930 --> 00:12:09,670
Roozay will bring you closer to God.

76
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:13,510
I'm going to the mosque tonight.

77
00:12:14,390 --> 00:12:16,070
I know you have a little boy.

78
00:12:17,130 --> 00:12:23,629
Because of him... I'm going to think
about you tonight. And whether you're

79
00:12:23,630 --> 00:12:26,750
to make it or not. I didn't make it.

80
00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:28,080
I'm innocent.

81
00:12:28,530 --> 00:12:30,890
I'm just a mother who abandoned her
child.

82
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:33,370
Your judgment will be given soon.

83
00:12:34,730 --> 00:12:39,270
If I believe that I'm innocent, I can
order him to be released.

84
00:12:39,870 --> 00:12:42,910
But if I don't believe it, he won't be
released. I'm innocent.

85
00:12:44,270 --> 00:12:46,130
I have to see my son.

86
00:12:46,690 --> 00:12:47,830
I'm his mother.

87
00:12:49,010 --> 00:12:50,370
I didn't give birth to him.

88
00:12:50,750 --> 00:12:51,800
My baby is born.

89
00:12:51,930 --> 00:12:52,980
I didn't do anything.

90
00:12:53,510 --> 00:12:54,770
That's all I can say.

91
00:12:55,350 --> 00:12:56,550
I was thinking about you.

92
00:13:01,530 --> 00:13:03,250
I'll leave you to God.

93
00:13:05,290 --> 00:13:06,340
I'm a mother.

94
00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:07,910
I'm a mother. I'm a mother.

95
00:13:08,470 --> 00:13:09,520
I'm a mother.

96
00:13:18,830 --> 00:13:21,249
I'm a

97
00:13:21,250 --> 00:13:27,770
mother.

98
00:13:33,930 --> 00:13:36,130
Tell me, what did the judge say to you?

99
00:13:39,310 --> 00:13:41,790
Or do you want me to ask you myself?

100
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:46,860
He said it's possible that I'll be
released soon.

101
00:13:47,370 --> 00:13:49,190
If you tell him that I'm innocent.

102
00:13:49,530 --> 00:13:50,580
That I'm innocent.

103
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:52,270
Listen to me.

104
00:13:52,630 --> 00:13:54,850
It's not the judge's job to make a
decision.

105
00:13:55,850 --> 00:13:57,770
It's a very small matter that you think.

106
00:13:58,330 --> 00:13:59,770
My son will be okay.

107
00:14:00,750 --> 00:14:01,800
When he finds out.

108
00:14:26,670 --> 00:14:28,070
Hello?

109
00:14:29,610 --> 00:14:30,660
Hello.

110
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:08,940
. . . . . .

111
00:15:24,010 --> 00:15:25,090
Are these yours?

112
00:15:28,301 --> 00:15:29,909
Nothing

113
00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:36,889
new to

114
00:15:36,890 --> 00:15:40,450
report, Mr. Ratcliffe. Which is not to
say dialogue's halted.

115
00:15:40,670 --> 00:15:45,390
Both the ambassador and minister are
involved personally. Did you see my

116
00:15:45,690 --> 00:15:47,810
We did. We read all of your emails.

117
00:15:48,010 --> 00:15:49,690
She was told she was to be released.

118
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,480
She called her family and told them a
car would be taking her to Kerman

119
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,890
Yes, I saw.

120
00:15:56,220 --> 00:15:59,950
Did she get inside the car? Did she
travel to the airport? Where is she now?

121
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,300
These are my concerns.

122
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,819
Is she alive? Is there another? We are
raising these shared concerns, Mr

123
00:16:10,820 --> 00:16:15,820
Ratcliffe. Let me assure you, we are
taking this matter very seriously.

124
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:17,730
Thank you.

125
00:16:22,199 --> 00:16:23,249
One question.

126
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:25,690
Why are you here?

127
00:16:27,980 --> 00:16:31,470
When you still have other more important
things to be getting on with.

128
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:36,999
Yeah, I'm doing my best, Patrick. I'm

129
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,299
getting some things done. I don't think
I've been totally useless. Richard, I'm

130
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:45,190
not suggesting anything other than pay
leave of absence.

131
00:16:46,700 --> 00:16:47,750
So go.

132
00:16:47,940 --> 00:16:49,560
Get Nazanin home safely.

133
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:51,940
Then come back and do your job.

134
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,180
Take a look at this photograph.

135
00:17:16,871 --> 00:17:18,879
It's pictures.

136
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,930
Taken from my phone.

137
00:17:24,220 --> 00:17:25,270
This is private.

138
00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:27,960
Who are these people?

139
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:30,600
Who do you think they are?

140
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:38,760
You know who they are. They're my
family. It's my husband's brother,

141
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,100
his new wife, and an elephant.

142
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,220
Do I need to tell you which is which?

143
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:57,960
I don't know.

144
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,500
I'm telling the truth.

145
00:18:22,410 --> 00:18:24,850
Do my family know where I am?

146
00:18:29,310 --> 00:18:32,030
Do my family know where I am?

147
00:18:32,350 --> 00:18:33,790
You have been trained to lie.

148
00:18:35,710 --> 00:18:39,610
The names you've just spoken, I don't
know.

149
00:18:39,850 --> 00:18:41,590
I am telling you the truth.

150
00:18:41,850 --> 00:18:43,490
I was raised to tell the truth.

151
00:19:01,620 --> 00:19:05,200
She said that you have encouraged her to
flee from Iran.

152
00:19:05,580 --> 00:19:06,760
That is not true.

153
00:19:07,060 --> 00:19:08,500
And cross the Kurdish border.

154
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,240
That is not true.

155
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,360
Are you saying she's lying to me?

156
00:19:12,990 --> 00:19:15,650
No, I'm saying that you is not telling
the truth.

157
00:19:15,651 --> 00:19:18,569
But your cell is bugged. We've heard
every word spoken.

158
00:19:18,570 --> 00:19:20,710
Then you will know what I'm saying is
true.

159
00:19:21,330 --> 00:19:23,330
Stop it with your lies and your tricks.

160
00:19:23,650 --> 00:19:24,700
Stop it.

161
00:19:29,610 --> 00:19:31,570
This will not end until you cooperate.

162
00:19:32,950 --> 00:19:34,090
We are very patient.

163
00:19:35,110 --> 00:19:40,069
I want to see my daughter. I want to
speak to my husband, my family. Why are

164
00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:41,430
doing this to me? Why?

165
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,930
Why? Why?

166
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,130
Why?

167
00:20:20,750 --> 00:20:22,490
My body is aching for you.

168
00:20:27,530 --> 00:20:29,990
It knows you're gone and I miss you.

169
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:36,850
Where have you been all this time?

170
00:20:38,210 --> 00:20:39,530
What have you been doing?

171
00:20:41,130 --> 00:20:44,250
What have you been thinking each day
when I'm not there?

172
00:21:09,900 --> 00:21:11,200
Richard! Richard!

173
00:21:11,540 --> 00:21:12,590
Richard!

174
00:21:41,111 --> 00:21:43,059
Sign it.

175
00:21:43,060 --> 00:21:45,340
At least you'll be able to see your
child.

176
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,979
I brought my child here to show him
Iran. I wanted him

177
00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:55,060
to love my country.

178
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,700
Did you hear what I said?

179
00:23:14,470 --> 00:23:18,410
I want you to tell me everything you've
been doing Thank you.

180
00:23:22,990 --> 00:23:25,910
Thank you.

181
00:24:15,590 --> 00:24:21,069
I want to talk

182
00:24:21,070 --> 00:24:28,349
to

183
00:24:28,350 --> 00:24:29,400
your husband.

184
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,970
Tell him to talk to the British
government.

185
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,240
And he'll accept the agreement.

186
00:24:37,380 --> 00:24:41,000
If I do this, his wife will be free with
your sister.

187
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:46,820
What's the agreement?

188
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:50,700
What should I tell Richard?

189
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,780
Yes, yes, I am. As far as I've been able
to establish, there is no such deal.

190
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,010
Nothing.

191
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,380
Well, I'm just repeating what her
brother in Iran was told.

192
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,650
I mean, if there's no such deal, then
why would they say there is?

193
00:25:17,860 --> 00:25:19,600
The Iranians say many things.

194
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,020
There is no deal, no agreement to be
made.

195
00:25:23,420 --> 00:25:26,610
We have no idea why her interrogators
would claim that there is.

196
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:29,850
Right, thank you.

197
00:25:47,020 --> 00:25:48,880
Who do you think's telling the truth?

198
00:25:48,940 --> 00:25:52,539
The Iranians saying there is an
agreement to be made or the Foreign

199
00:25:52,540 --> 00:25:54,420
saying there isn't?

200
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:03,079
I want to believe the Iranians because
that means there's a reason Nazanin's

201
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,130
being held.

202
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:10,479
But I... I also want to believe in the
Foreign Office and that

203
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,940
maybe there's a reason they can't say
anything. That's right.

204
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:17,610
We don't know.

205
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,780
I desperately want to trust them.

206
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,770
Us.

207
00:26:23,820 --> 00:26:24,870
The British.

208
00:26:26,260 --> 00:26:28,840
They will be doing something.

209
00:26:51,889 --> 00:26:55,869
. . . . .

210
00:26:55,870 --> 00:27:00,870
. . . . . .

211
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,740
All anyone's interested in is Brexit.

212
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:40,220
Thank you for coming.

213
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:46,020
Today marks the 100th day of Nazanin's
abduction.

214
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:51,779
For 100 days, a mother, a British
citizen, has been held inside an Iranian

215
00:27:51,780 --> 00:27:54,920
prison, willfully separated from her
child.

216
00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:59,859
The intelligence services are admitting
that they are detaining a mother and

217
00:27:59,860 --> 00:28:04,239
baby, not because of any suspicious
activity in Iran, but as collateral for

218
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,060
unknown political deal.

219
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:11,140
And they have asked me to make this
unknown deal known to you, the media.

220
00:28:11,380 --> 00:28:18,079
Now, backed by over 780 ,000 voices,
this petition will be delivered to

221
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,860
10. I'm asking the Prime Minister, David
Cameron, and his Foreign Secretary,

222
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:24,150
Philip Hammond,

223
00:28:25,479 --> 00:28:32,279
Iran's actions in Parliament and to ask
the question, what is this deal Iran is

224
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:33,330
seeking?

225
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,530
Thank you.

226
00:29:24,650 --> 00:29:26,810
I'm sorry I'm late.

227
00:29:27,050 --> 00:29:29,650
I'm Waki Madafeh. Be quiet.

228
00:29:34,430 --> 00:29:36,270
I see you're an employee.

229
00:29:38,770 --> 00:29:39,820
Yes.

230
00:29:40,750 --> 00:29:42,750
It's my wedding anniversary.

231
00:29:43,630 --> 00:29:44,770
Do you have a child?

232
00:29:45,170 --> 00:29:46,220
I have a daughter.

233
00:29:46,590 --> 00:29:47,640
She's two years old.

234
00:29:48,990 --> 00:29:50,190
What's your job?

235
00:29:50,390 --> 00:29:52,810
I'm a building manager at Thomson
Reuters.

236
00:29:54,190 --> 00:29:58,190
We don't have any news and we don't do
anything in Iran either.

237
00:29:58,910 --> 00:30:01,920
How did you come back to all this with
such a naive attitude?

238
00:30:04,910 --> 00:30:06,650
I was waiting for something better.

239
00:30:13,470 --> 00:30:15,530
I didn't do any of this.

240
00:30:18,530 --> 00:30:20,190
Did you work for the BBC?

241
00:30:20,191 --> 00:30:25,649
Yes, a few years ago, when I was new to
the job, I did some administrative work

242
00:30:25,650 --> 00:30:26,700
for the military.

243
00:30:28,730 --> 00:30:30,730
Did you teach the BBC in Farsi?

244
00:30:31,810 --> 00:30:33,750
No, no, I didn't do anything at all.

245
00:30:34,130 --> 00:30:35,180
Excuse me, sir.

246
00:30:35,290 --> 00:30:37,750
If my time is up, it's the size of the
regime.

247
00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:42,020
According to the law, the Ministry of
Intelligence is responsible for the

248
00:30:42,190 --> 00:30:43,870
Not the Ministry of Intelligence.

249
00:30:49,260 --> 00:30:52,080
From now on, you're free to comment on
these issues.

250
00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:58,100
It's a legal issue. Don't comment on
things that have nothing to do with you.

251
00:31:06,220 --> 00:31:11,619
I want to get to the point quickly. I'll
ask you questions and you'll write your

252
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:13,670
answers. You don't have to write too
many.

253
00:31:14,780 --> 00:31:16,100
I'll read them all later.

254
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:24,540
Mr. Qazi... My answers are the same as
before.

255
00:31:25,540 --> 00:31:27,520
I don't accept any of these accusations.

256
00:31:27,940 --> 00:31:28,990
I didn't do anything.

257
00:31:29,420 --> 00:31:30,600
I beg you.

258
00:31:30,820 --> 00:31:32,260
Please let me go back to my son.

259
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,180
Mr. Shabani.

260
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,620
You will prepare your defense letter.

261
00:31:42,420 --> 00:31:45,550
And by the end of tomorrow's
administration, you will go to my

262
00:31:46,500 --> 00:31:47,550
Goodbye.

263
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,560
For Nazanin, they say that stone will
turn into ruby by enduring patience.

264
00:32:39,340 --> 00:32:40,390
Yes, it will.

265
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,600
But with that comes so much pain.

266
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:44,250
From Farah.

267
00:32:45,140 --> 00:32:48,100
For Farah, thank you for your poem.

268
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,460
I pray it will give me the strength I
will need in the years to come.

269
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,170
Yeah.

270
00:33:14,730 --> 00:33:15,780
I made up my mind.

271
00:33:16,890 --> 00:33:18,030
And this is my decision.

272
00:33:20,150 --> 00:33:22,490
You can sign it.

273
00:33:25,090 --> 00:33:27,090
You have to read it first.

274
00:33:38,450 --> 00:33:39,500
As you wish.

275
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,390
You've been accused of trying to
overthrow the Islamic Republic.

276
00:33:45,420 --> 00:33:47,770
You've been sentenced to five years in
prison.

277
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:52,560
I'm not going to prison.

278
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,100
I'm going to change.

279
00:33:58,420 --> 00:33:59,470
I'm going to change.

280
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,360
I'm going to change.

281
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:06,770
I'm going to change.

282
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,340
I'm sorry, Michelle.

283
00:34:20,620 --> 00:34:21,780
I'm so sorry.

284
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,810
You call your husband and give him your
order.

285
00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:46,620
I don't want to call my husband.

286
00:34:47,060 --> 00:34:48,600
It's embarrassing for him.

287
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:51,219
I don't want my husband to be like this.

288
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,080
You call your husband and give him your
order.

289
00:34:58,380 --> 00:34:59,520
But you only say this.

290
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:03,500
The English know what we want.

291
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,080
They just want something that belongs to
us.

292
00:35:37,230 --> 00:35:38,280
Richard, my love.

293
00:35:39,570 --> 00:35:40,620
Nazalyn, darling.

294
00:35:40,890 --> 00:35:42,310
How are you? Where are you?

295
00:35:43,610 --> 00:35:46,110
Richard, they say I'm guilty.

296
00:35:50,770 --> 00:35:51,820
Of what?

297
00:35:51,890 --> 00:35:54,390
I've been sentenced to five years in
prison.

298
00:35:56,210 --> 00:35:57,260
Guilty of what?

299
00:35:58,930 --> 00:35:59,980
Five years.

300
00:36:03,340 --> 00:36:07,500
What is it they say you are convicted
of? In five years, my baby will be

301
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,540
No, no, that's an in. No, no, listen to
me.

302
00:36:10,541 --> 00:36:15,279
We will get through this, and I promise,
I promise you, I'll devote every hour

303
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,160
to bringing you home. Five years apart.

304
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,120
We will bring you home.

305
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,260
You're not going to get up.

306
00:37:07,780 --> 00:37:10,280
You're not going to get up. I'm sorry.

307
00:37:14,060 --> 00:37:15,340
I'm sorry.

308
00:37:15,341 --> 00:37:16,619
I'm sorry.

309
00:37:16,620 --> 00:37:21,920
I'm sorry.

310
00:38:05,310 --> 00:38:07,130
Hello. Is this Richard Radcliffe?

311
00:38:08,090 --> 00:38:09,550
Husband to Nazanin Zaghari?

312
00:38:11,130 --> 00:38:12,180
Who is this?

313
00:38:12,670 --> 00:38:13,720
I can't say.

314
00:38:13,730 --> 00:38:14,780
Not yet.

315
00:38:16,450 --> 00:38:17,830
Is this Richard Radcliffe?

316
00:38:18,090 --> 00:38:19,140
It is.

317
00:38:19,310 --> 00:38:21,510
Richard, do you have a pen and paper?

318
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:25,160
You are going to want to write this
down.

319
00:38:29,670 --> 00:38:30,720
Yes, go on.

320
00:38:30,721 --> 00:38:34,529
Regarding your claim of an outstanding
deal between the Iranian and British

321
00:38:34,530 --> 00:38:38,629
governments, you are not wrong. The
company you should investigate is called

322
00:38:38,630 --> 00:38:42,130
IMS, International Military Services
Limited.

323
00:38:42,670 --> 00:38:45,500
They are fully owned by the British
Ministry of Defense.

324
00:38:45,501 --> 00:38:50,189
They owe money, and they are currently
being dragged through the British courts

325
00:38:50,190 --> 00:38:51,730
by MOD Iran, no less.

326
00:38:51,731 --> 00:38:55,309
If this is all true, it would help to
know who you are. It's all true, my

327
00:38:55,310 --> 00:38:58,130
friend. Dig deep. The information is
there.

328
00:38:58,730 --> 00:38:59,780
Good luck.

329
00:39:22,910 --> 00:39:26,350
2002 and we have something interesting.

330
00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:32,360
IMS make a payment of £400 million to a
UK court as a security of bond.

331
00:39:32,361 --> 00:39:33,679
Why would they do that?

332
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:34,299
A dispute.

333
00:39:34,300 --> 00:39:37,190
It has to be some kind of debt, doesn't
it? It is a debt. Look.

334
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,579
An award of damages plus interest was
made against the company in connection

335
00:39:41,580 --> 00:39:44,410
with a contractual dispute with the
government of Iran.

336
00:39:45,020 --> 00:39:49,819
There's a reduction in the debt from
£500 to £400 million in 2006, but after

337
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:55,139
that, there's no record of either a £400
million payment or cancellation of the

338
00:39:55,140 --> 00:39:56,190
debt.

339
00:39:56,460 --> 00:40:01,500
A statement for the subsequent years
shows that the dispute is ongoing.

340
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,240
The latest negotiation is taking place
in 2016.

341
00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:12,080
Just before Nazanin was taken.

342
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:16,719
We'll need to see the court records from
2002 to the present. Get on to Penny

343
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:17,770
Madden.

344
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,840
IMS did indeed pay...

345
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:26,599
a sizable amount of money to the uk
courts as security for a debt owed to

346
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:32,659
the claimant being the iranian ministry
of defense wow

347
00:40:32,660 --> 00:40:38,599
it all dates back to the 1970s would you
believe over 40 years ago

348
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:44,980
but this argument is still very much
alive in fact

349
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,959
Closed -door negotiations between the UK
and Iranian governments last took place

350
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:54,460
in March and May of this year, 2016.

351
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,620
The outcome of these negotiations was
what, Penny?

352
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,800
Well, as far as I can see, no agreement
was reached.

353
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:05,530
We were told they were holding on to her
in May.

354
00:41:05,531 --> 00:41:10,139
Coincidence, or were the Iranians trying
to force an agreement?

355
00:41:10,140 --> 00:41:13,659
Penny, can you talk us through
everything you found, please, beginning

356
00:41:13,660 --> 00:41:14,710
1970s?

357
00:41:21,399 --> 00:41:27,799
1971, and the oil -rich Shah of Iran
signs a £650 million

358
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:32,780
contract with the British government for
weaponry and military vehicles,

359
00:41:32,940 --> 00:41:33,990
including tanks.

360
00:41:34,540 --> 00:41:40,579
The contract is made with the commercial
arm of the MOD, International Military

361
00:41:40,580 --> 00:41:43,840
Services, a limited company, IMS.

362
00:41:47,630 --> 00:41:52,650
Fast forward to 1978, 1979, and we have
the Iranian Revolution.

363
00:41:52,990 --> 00:41:55,370
I remember it. I remember it being on
the news.

364
00:42:00,430 --> 00:42:03,410
The Shah is overthrown and he flees the
country.

365
00:42:08,850 --> 00:42:14,530
At this point, the Shah has already paid
£100 million to IMS.

366
00:42:15,340 --> 00:42:19,899
Four tanks which, by the odd few, have
yet to be delivered and now will never

367
00:42:19,900 --> 00:42:21,880
delivered. So Iran wants its money back.

368
00:42:22,620 --> 00:42:23,670
We're impressed.

369
00:42:24,620 --> 00:42:25,670
And why not?

370
00:42:25,671 --> 00:42:27,539
They're demanding their money back.

371
00:42:27,540 --> 00:42:34,139
This is when? Early 1980s. It becomes a
legal dispute early 1990s. Iran takes

372
00:42:34,140 --> 00:42:38,660
IMF to the European Court of Arbitration
in the Netherlands and they win.

373
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:44,699
IMS appeals on spurious grounds. The
case goes to the Dutch Supreme Court,

374
00:42:44,700 --> 00:42:49,020
rules in favour of Iran, and the
arbitration becomes enforceable.

375
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,500
So where's the problem, besides us
paying the silly buggers?

376
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,720
Well, initially the Iran -Iraq war.

377
00:43:03,700 --> 00:43:06,200
Saddam Hussein was our man in the Middle
East.

378
00:43:06,620 --> 00:43:10,500
Iraq actually received some of the tanks
Iran had paid for. Oh, dear God.

379
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:17,439
The war lasts between 1980 and 1988.
Legal arguments begin early

380
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:22,619
90s all the way through to the
noughties. Then EU sanctions against

381
00:43:22,620 --> 00:43:23,680
around about 2008.

382
00:43:24,100 --> 00:43:28,520
But everything changed in January this
year, 2016.

383
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,340
The nuclear deal.

384
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,650
JCPOA?

385
00:43:33,940 --> 00:43:35,820
Yes. What's that?

386
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:42,360
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
between Iran, the US and the EU.

387
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:44,980
Very good, Jeff.

388
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:46,570
Common knowledge.

389
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:52,300
The Plan of Action allowed EU sanctions
to be lifted, that is, most sanctions.

390
00:43:52,820 --> 00:43:57,699
Meaning that we, the UK, could pay 400
million to the Iranian Ministry of

391
00:43:57,700 --> 00:43:58,780
Health, for instance.

392
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:05,459
But they can't pay, won't pay, the now
400 million to the Iranian Ministry of

393
00:44:05,460 --> 00:44:07,760
Defence. Even though it's their money.

394
00:44:08,460 --> 00:44:10,380
Even though we'd just be giving it back.

395
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,200
Exactly. So it's not a payment, it's a
refund.

396
00:44:13,820 --> 00:44:19,960
What we have to do is show that this
debt is the reason Nazanin was taken.

397
00:44:20,380 --> 00:44:21,430
Oh.

398
00:44:21,900 --> 00:44:22,950
It's all there.

399
00:44:56,620 --> 00:44:57,670
Where are you?

400
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,420
I know you're here.

401
00:45:06,580 --> 00:45:08,100
Who are you?

402
00:45:10,780 --> 00:45:13,360
Please tell me who you are.

403
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:18,960
I know you're here.

404
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,280
Bring it, bring it, bring it. Easy,
easy.

405
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:29,810
Leave it here.

406
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,060
We need to eat.

407
00:46:36,780 --> 00:46:40,540
This story won't last long. It's been
five years.

408
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:42,740
It's been seven years.

409
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:45,210
No.

410
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:46,780
It won't last that long.

411
00:46:47,540 --> 00:46:49,320
Why don't you talk to me?

412
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:58,480
Please contact Barichard.

413
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:01,700
Call him.

414
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:04,610
Talk to him.

415
00:47:36,910 --> 00:47:37,960
I can't do this.

416
00:47:39,430 --> 00:47:40,480
What do you mean?

417
00:47:40,770 --> 00:47:45,150
I want you to care for Gabriella like I
know you will.

418
00:47:45,410 --> 00:47:46,910
Nazanin, what are you saying?

419
00:47:47,190 --> 00:47:49,290
It would be easier for you to forget me.

420
00:47:49,970 --> 00:47:52,190
You must move on with your life without
me.

421
00:47:55,310 --> 00:47:57,450
No, Nazanin, no, I do not accept that.

422
00:47:58,230 --> 00:47:59,280
I need you.

423
00:47:59,410 --> 00:48:03,050
Gabriella needs you. We love you. That
isn't going to change.

424
00:48:03,690 --> 00:48:04,740
Ever.

425
00:48:11,799 --> 00:48:12,849
Hello?

426
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,520
I, uh, I, the man, um,

427
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,980
uh, looking after your, uh, wife.

428
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:31,299
I hope you, uh, will collect

429
00:48:31,300 --> 00:48:33,120
her soon.

430
00:49:10,310 --> 00:49:17,149
I want to say it out loud. I

431
00:49:17,150 --> 00:49:23,549
want the public to know that my wife is
being held in solitary confinement in an

432
00:49:23,550 --> 00:49:24,600
Iranian prison.

433
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,000
for the non -payment of a 40 -year -old
tank debt.

434
00:49:30,820 --> 00:49:34,080
I feel the Foreign Office know that too,
but they won't admit it.

435
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,580
So... How best do we do that?

436
00:49:43,581 --> 00:49:46,619
I know a journalist at the Sunday Times
who might help.

437
00:49:46,620 --> 00:49:47,960
Is he good? Do we know him?

438
00:49:47,961 --> 00:49:50,279
No, you wouldn't know him, but he's well
thought of.

439
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:51,680
Yeah, Sunday Times is good.

440
00:49:51,900 --> 00:49:53,710
I'm in a splash in the Times. May
well...

441
00:49:53,711 --> 00:49:55,419
leads to more publicity.

442
00:49:55,420 --> 00:49:57,019
We could try for the Today programme.

443
00:49:57,020 --> 00:49:58,160
It is a political story.

444
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,820
I think we should inform the Foreign
Office of our intentions.

445
00:50:01,821 --> 00:50:05,659
I'll write to Tobias Elwood, tell him we
have all the details of the tank debt

446
00:50:05,660 --> 00:50:06,740
and request a meeting.

447
00:50:22,700 --> 00:50:29,440
My dear darling husband, I've loved you
so much.

448
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,370
Forgive me.

449
00:50:33,460 --> 00:50:35,460
I cannot be apart from you.

450
00:50:36,660 --> 00:50:38,820
I cannot be apart from Gisu.

451
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:45,099
And I cannot bear for you to be apart
from your daughter whom you love so

452
00:50:45,100 --> 00:50:46,150
dearly.

453
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,860
I release you, my love.

454
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:16,450
He doesn't eat.

455
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,900
And as a result, he has no power. I
mean, he has no life.

456
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:23,810
He doesn't eat.

457
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:26,780
How can you allow him not to eat?

458
00:51:27,700 --> 00:51:30,000
You can ask him. He's here.

459
00:51:30,220 --> 00:51:31,270
Please get him ready.

460
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:32,430
Please.

461
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,010
Oh, God.

462
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:39,570
Oh, God.

463
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,250
Ma 'am, a glass of water. Bring a glass
of water.

464
00:51:48,700 --> 00:51:54,240
I release you, my love.

465
00:51:59,500 --> 00:52:02,480
She must have written the note when she
was refusing food.

466
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,260
Is that all?

467
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:14,240
But now things have changed.

468
00:52:15,250 --> 00:52:17,300
They brought her food when we were
there.

469
00:52:17,850 --> 00:52:19,170
She is a prize to them.

470
00:52:20,150 --> 00:52:21,200
She has value.

471
00:52:23,570 --> 00:52:26,350
She needs to know that she has not
forgotten.

472
00:52:27,070 --> 00:52:29,690
She needs to know that we are here. I am
here.

473
00:52:30,490 --> 00:52:31,540
Always.

474
00:52:32,090 --> 00:52:33,710
Do you hear me, Mohammed? Always.

475
00:52:34,070 --> 00:52:35,150
And always will be.

476
00:52:35,790 --> 00:52:36,840
Always.

477
00:52:38,910 --> 00:52:40,570
She needs to know I will keep.

478
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:52,559
A woman who's in jail in Iran has
accused the Foreign Office of dragging

479
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:57,219
feet on seeking her release. Her
husband, Richard Rackett, says the

480
00:52:57,220 --> 00:53:01,479
Office has not done all it could do, and
he thinks he knows why. She's been used

481
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:07,279
as a bargaining chip. Iran says that
Britain owes it £400 million as part of

482
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:11,799
arms deal dating back 40 years or so.
The Foreign Office won't tell us

483
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,480
about that particular situation.

484
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:19,690
You've seen it?

485
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,790
Yeah, I've seen it. What the fuck has
happened?

486
00:53:23,180 --> 00:53:24,720
Were we not promised a splash?

487
00:53:24,721 --> 00:53:28,539
With only one source, it's you claiming
one thing and the Foreign Office saying

488
00:53:28,540 --> 00:53:29,590
another.

489
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,860
And I think we may well have been
briefed against.

490
00:53:34,500 --> 00:53:35,550
Meaning what?

491
00:53:35,580 --> 00:53:41,299
Meaning that one or two people in the
media will have been told, quite

492
00:53:41,300 --> 00:53:43,180
sympathetically, that...

493
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:49,199
Richard Ratcliffe is understandably
emotional and going through a very

494
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:50,700
and traumatic time.

495
00:53:53,380 --> 00:53:54,430
So what now?

496
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,390
You answer your phone, we'll go for a
pint.

497
00:53:58,560 --> 00:53:59,610
It's Penny.

498
00:54:01,300 --> 00:54:05,719
Penny, yes, I've seen it. Forget that,
that's old news. We've been offered a

499
00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:07,360
meeting with Tobias Elwood.

500
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:09,620
When? Day after tomorrow.

501
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:10,890
It's unheard of.

502
00:54:13,070 --> 00:54:14,410
Is he rattled, you think?

503
00:54:15,290 --> 00:54:17,210
Well, we certainly have his attention.

504
00:54:19,090 --> 00:54:23,909
Both we at the Foreign Office and the
Iranian minister are aware of your most

505
00:54:23,910 --> 00:54:28,329
recent press appearance, the BBC's Today
programme and the piece in the Sunday

506
00:54:28,330 --> 00:54:29,380
Times.

507
00:54:29,750 --> 00:54:30,800
Yes.

508
00:54:30,801 --> 00:54:35,329
The Iranians are concerned that you're
trying to politicise the agenda.

509
00:54:35,330 --> 00:54:39,770
No, all I want to do is to bring Nazanin
home safely and soon.

510
00:54:40,230 --> 00:54:41,690
Which is what I told them.

511
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:48,500
But it does not help that you appear to
be, if not misinformed, then misguided.

512
00:54:48,580 --> 00:54:53,300
Your emotional response is, of course,
natural and understandable.

513
00:54:54,860 --> 00:54:58,620
Perhaps some form of therapy might help.

514
00:55:01,460 --> 00:55:08,239
Thank you for your concern. And perhaps
if I clarified the position in relation

515
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:09,199
to the tanks.

516
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:10,250
Please.

517
00:55:10,410 --> 00:55:14,509
The tanks were due to be sold to the
Iranians in the 1970s. The British

518
00:55:14,510 --> 00:55:17,269
government took the money but did not
supply the tanks.

519
00:55:17,270 --> 00:55:19,550
Instead, those tanks went to Iraq.

520
00:55:20,730 --> 00:55:23,810
All the money received from Iran then
sat in an account.

521
00:55:23,811 --> 00:55:27,789
However, due to the sanctions now in
place, it's not possible to deliver this

522
00:55:27,790 --> 00:55:28,729
money to Iran.

523
00:55:28,730 --> 00:55:31,860
There's no way around this, by using the
Omanis, for example?

524
00:55:32,350 --> 00:55:35,190
No. The Iranians are aware of this.

525
00:55:35,450 --> 00:55:39,999
So what did the Revolutionary Guard mean
when they said... tell your government

526
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,440
to do a deal.

527
00:55:41,441 --> 00:55:45,179
Well, they are part of a hard -line
government who are encouraging you to

528
00:55:45,180 --> 00:55:48,380
highlight quite falsely that the West
does not play fair.

529
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,020
Pure propaganda.

530
00:55:51,460 --> 00:55:55,800
Nazanin being taken and the tank deal
are very much two separate issues.

531
00:55:56,940 --> 00:56:00,440
Then why have they taken her, if not for
leverage?

532
00:56:02,140 --> 00:56:06,799
Paranoia. You would agree there are
thousands of Iranians in exactly the

533
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:07,850
position as Nazanin.

534
00:56:08,300 --> 00:56:11,480
Anyone who appears suspicious will be on
their radar.

535
00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:15,579
This is a mother and baby. The only
thing that could identify Nazanin as

536
00:56:15,580 --> 00:56:18,580
suspicious is her dual nationality.

537
00:56:19,580 --> 00:56:23,740
Her passport is why she was taken, and
her passport gives them leverage.

538
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:29,759
It's not us or our campaign that has
politicized her kidnapping. You are

539
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:33,340
emotional, and under enormous pressure
of that, I am certain.

540
00:56:33,780 --> 00:56:36,180
And pressure leads to...

541
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,740
Misunderstandings. Make no mistake.

542
00:56:41,060 --> 00:56:45,959
The Iranians watch for every word
spoken, be it Prime Minister's questions

543
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:48,680
the press or the Today programme.

544
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:54,580
Your approach and your campaign are, to
put it bluntly, damaging.

545
00:56:55,700 --> 00:57:00,080
You have people around you who are
saying, well done, but they are wrong.

546
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:04,240
We must be seen by the Iranians,
Richard, to be as one.

547
00:57:05,710 --> 00:57:09,200
You could tweet that you've just met
with Tobias Elwood, for example.

548
00:57:10,230 --> 00:57:16,469
You mean, well, of course you do, but
perhaps a more useful outlet for both

549
00:57:16,470 --> 00:57:19,870
and Nazanin would be to keep a diary.

550
00:57:53,509 --> 00:57:59,830
I brought you a conversation.

551
00:58:00,910 --> 00:58:02,090
We can eat together.

552
00:58:16,750 --> 00:58:17,910
I love you, Farah.

553
00:58:19,170 --> 00:58:20,220
I love you, too.

554
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:24,790
