"Jamaat Ul-Fuqra."

-Fugra?

-Fugra, Fuqra, who cares?

between 1979 and 1990.

"Possible link to Richard Reid,

the shoe bomber.

"They are suspected

to have connection to terrorists

"who bombed World Trade Center

in '93."

I didn't know Gilani was that serious.

No, Sheikh Gilani is a peaceful man.

He's always upset when people die.

So he was upset that

the World Trade Centers were bombed?

Yes, because many of his followers

are American.

Do you know who's behind the attack

on the World Trade Center?

-Who?

-The Jews.

-Who?

-The Jews.

Really?

Mossad are the only ones who

could have organized such an event.

Do you know that 4,000 Jews

who normally worked in the Towers

didn't turn up that day?

What are you? A Christian?

No, Jewish.

The American Consulate,

Corporal Bailey speaking.

How can I help you?

Hello, my name is Mariane Pearl

and I'm calling

because my husband is missing.

He's a journalist. And he was...

Ma'am, I'm afraid the Consulate

is closed at the moment.

If you can call back in the morning

and ask for Randall Bennett,

Well, who's he interviewing?

Hello?

-Ruth, it's Mariane.

Is everything all right?

Danny had an interview

and he's not back.

He didn't come home last night.

Mariane, this is Judea.

A religious leader.

His name was Sheikh Gilani.

Does anyone there

know that he's Jewish?

Okay. Bye, Ruth.

I wanna ask your advice

about something, if you don't mind.

I'm supposed to be meeting later

Okay.

And I wanna get a sense from you

whether you think

that that's a good idea.

-Who arranged that meeting for you?

-My fixer in Islamabad.

-No.

I mean, I left him in lslamabad.

-Hello?

-Masud, it's Mariane.

What do you mean

he didn't come home last night?

I need a number for Bashir.

I have the number to the contact

but I don't have the number to Bashir.

Who is your contact?

His name is Arif.

He met him in Rawalpindi.

Driver, please stop near

the Hotel Akbar lnternational.

-Hello.

-Hi. I'm Danny.

-Hello.

-Masud.

-What's your name?

-Bashir.

Hello, Bashir, nice to meet you.

You know, Sheikh Gilani

is a direct descendant of the Prophet.

He is a Pir.

-A holy man.

-The holy man.

Most of the journalists who come here,

they come

with only one story they want to write

and that is,

they want to write about terrorism.

Is that what you want?

Honestly, I can't tell you that

until I meet him.

I don't know that until I meet him.

Sheikh Gilani

does not want to meet journalists.

I understand.

Listen, I have a number of articles.

If you'd like to see them,

I'd be happy to show them to you.

Is there a way

for me to get in touch with you?

My e-mail address is on there.

Bashir is a Jihadi?

-It's possible, I'm not sure.

-Is he connected to Al Qaeda?

I'm not sure. I'm not sure at all.

I'll call Arif

and I'll call you straight back.

-This is serious, actually.

-Yeah, you call me straight back.

Give me Danny's computer.

Look through all the papers in here

and put them over there.

Is this your house?

-Yes, it's my house.

-Your name?

Asra Nomani.

Have you got any ID?

Yes, I have my passport.

I'm from India.

India?

There are some codes.

That's his shorthand.

He's a journalist.

Do you have

a photograph of your husband?

There's a bag with a circle, a polka dot.

Look under the bed.

-Is this your husband?

-Yes.

Give those pictures to me.

-Yeah?

-Hi, Mariane, this is Masud.

I was calling Arif

but his mobile is switched off.

Get down here. Okay?

I'm a bit afraid of police,

can you please protect me from them?

-Get down here. Okay?

-Okay, fine.

Is he coming?

-Hello.

-Yes, I'm Mariane. Who are you?

Javed Habib. I am SSP CID.

-He's Dost, MI.

-Hello.

Hello.

-What is that?

-Military lntelligence. I am Chief of CID.

-The unit in charge of counter-terrorism.

-Counter-terrorism?

Randall Bennett has called me.

Randall Bennett?

Can you help me to understand

what is this?

The most important thing for us

is to find your husband.

Look, Asra and I are your best ally.

Right? We are both journalists

and we should work together.

I would not like

to have it any other way, Mrs. Pearl.

I need your support. I need your help.

-We have Danny's computer.

-Okay. Could I see it?

I'll go and get it.

Who took him to the restaurant?

Did you get the taxi for Daniel Pearl?

-Yes, sir.

-Where did you get the taxi from?

Sir, from Two Swords.

Get out.

What's your name?

Hello, son.

What's your name?

-Harris, sir.

-Harris?

-What's that?

-Can you translate that?

We'll find your Danny.

You must take care of yourself

and the baby.

-You didn't see anyone at 7pm?

-No.

There was no foreigner here yesterday?

Yesterday evening,

did you see a foreigner here?

No, sir.

The Al Qaeda suspects, seen on

their arrival in Cuba earlier this month,

are the subject of renewed concern

over how the United States

is treating its detainees.

The number you have dialed

is not responding at the moment.

I'm really sorry about Danny.

-Have you heard any news?

-No.

Can you tell us what you know?

Danny wanted to meet Gilani.

He went with Arif.

And we spoke with Bashir...

-And who's Arif?

-I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

How did you meet him?

-I got his number from a friend of mine.

-Okay, so who's the friend?

-I can't tell you.

-You can't tell us? Why is that?

Is that because

they paid you for Danny?

How much did they pay you for Danny?

I was doing my job, helping Danny.

I don't think you understand

how serious this is.

We need that name to find Danny.

Danny is missing.

He may be able to help me find him.

Okay? I need the name.

I promised him not to give his name.

Do you understand that maybe

you can make the difference
