"If the Americans keep our countrymen
in better conditions
"we will better
the conditions of Mr. Pearl
"and all other Americans
that we capture."
Jang claims he's Mossad
and now they're claiming he's CIA.
These things they do to shock you.
They're asking
for the release of jet plane.
-Hello. Captain.
-Randall.
I need the original e-mail
so we can see the header.
Well, this is a copy.
The original
was sent to the Washington Post.
-I need the original.
-Here are the photographs.
-This is all of them right here?
-Okay.
This is the only document that came?
-When did you get this?
-Half an hour ago.
Can we get someone to figure out
what kind of camera this was?
Yeah, but it wasn't sent to the Journal.
-Are these Danny's clothes?
-No.
-Can you print this out for me please?
-This photo doesn't look real.
I think that's a doctored photo.
I don't think this is Danny.
Look at this,
you compare the dimensions here
with the dimensions here.
That's Danny.
-Let's send it off to the lab anyway.
-Do what you wish.
Dost, can you get on this right away?
We're gonna
have to get this to Washington.
-Hello?
-Mariane.
It's his mother.
It's Danny's mother. Hello.
Have you seen them?
-The photos of Danny.
-Yes.
-It's good news, Mariane.
-Yes.
It means Danny is alive.
Yes, of course he's alive. Yes.
The people here,
they don't think it's real.
They don't think they're really Danny.
Of course they are.
I recognize his hands.
Listen, they're going to
release him, okay?
I mean, no one would ever
want to hurt Danny.
You see that?
He's smiling.
He has a gun to his head and he's
smiling and he's telling me he's okay.
Yeah.
He says "f*** you" to them.
She'll be fine. She'll be fine.
I appreciate how difficult this meeting
is gonna be for you, Mrs. Pearl.
We need the Minister to authorize
a national force to look for Danny.
Just because he was taken in Karachi
doesn't mean he's still here.
Minister. Good to meet you.
-This is Mariane Pearl.
-How do you do?
Thank you for meeting with us.
Mrs. Pearl, let me tell you something.
There were 3,000 journalists in
Pakistan during the war in Afghanistan.
Not one of them got into trouble.
Danny and I
were two of those journalists,
so I'm sorry,
I don't understand your point.
Why did your husband
have to meet with these people?
He's a journalist.
I don't think this is the business
of a journalist.
Forgive me for correcting you,
but it is absolutely
the business of a journalist.
-Mrs. Pearl.
-Yes?
We do have information
that the Indian Intelligence Services
are behind this kidnapping.
You really believe that?
I don't think...
They are trying to embarrass Pakistan
by blaming Islamic extremists or the ISI
for the disappearance of an
American journalist. Don't you see it?
I think we must conclude at this point.
Mr. Bauman, I am slightly busy
and I do have some prior engagements.
Thank you. Mr. Bauman.
-Mrs. Pearl.
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
-Thank you, Mr. Bauman.
Have you seen this person?
I'm looking for somebody who
stayed here called Chaudhry Bashir.
Here is his number.
How long do we have to stay here?
Until we find him.
I'm sorry I was unable to come
sooner. I've been away.
But I have here a list of all the calls
that Danny made from the 19th.
Didn't you meet with Danny
the day that he was kidnapped?
That's right. Danny told me
he was meeting with Gilani.
In fact, while he was with me,
Right.
Right, I'll be there.
We work with telephone numbers.
We start with Danny's number
and Arifs,
Imtiaz Siddique's and Bashir's.
From these numbers
we find their contacts
and then we obtain the numbers
that they called and so on
until we find the kidnappers.
This is our business.
And let me assure you,
we know what we're doing.
They're sourcing the IP
from Bashir's e-mail, right?
That's what they're trying to do.
-And no luck so far?
-No.
We're coming to you from
the Los Angeles home of Daniel Pearl,
the journalist who has been
kidnapped in Pakistan.
A group calling itself
the National Movement for the
Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty
is claiming responsibility
for the kidnapping
and says it's hoping for better treatment
of US prisoners held in Cuba.
Excuse me, sorry.
Are you sure this is the right way?
This is the right way?
Yes, sir.
Do you have a map?
No. Sorry.
The scene outside the house
is out of control.
-We have to respond.
-I think you should handle most of it.
Great. We've gotten hundreds
and hundreds of requests.
You have an authority that
nobody else has to say who Danny is.
And they've already said
that he's Mossad.
They've already said he's CIA.
By not responding we're tacitly allowing
these things to go unchallenged.
We also have been talking
to Colin Powell.
Colin Powell has been talking
to President Musharraf.
-Asking him to do what?
-We also got a...
I'm sorry.
We've also issued a statement
saying that Danny
did not work for the Government,
that Danny did not work for the CIA.
The CIA has then agreed
to issue a statement confirming that.
-They're gonna confirm that publicly?
-Yeah.
-The CIA?
-Yeah.
We're doing everything we possibly
can do to make sure that Danny is safe.
Okay, we're on our way.
Masud, where's the coach station
for Muzaffarabad?
Is Arif going to Muzaffarabad?
From Pirwadhi Bus Station?
Is Arif here?
Seventy-three numbers have now been
recognized as possible suspects.
Our analysis
is beginning to yield results.
One of the numbers that Bashir called
is a land line in Lahore.
And that land line
belongs to a Sony TV dealer.
And the Sony TV dealer was frequently
calling another man in Karachi.
And this person was frequently calling
another man in Punjab.
Where is Hashim's house?
Where is Hashim's house?
Where is Hashim?
We want to search the house.
Why are you all coming in here?
Now, the important thing is,
Hashim also goes by the name of Arif.
-Arif?
-That's great.
-We have a photograph of Arif.
-You found Arif? Great.
But his family
claims he died in Afghanistan.
What?
He told Danny he was going to Kashmir.
Exactly.
-Well, is there a body?
-No. There's no body.
We do not believe
he's necessarily dead.
His group
has a lot of fighters in Kashmir.
We think
he may have gone to Muzaffarabad.
-Hello.
-Hey, Asra. It's John Bussey.
I just wanted
to give you guys the heads-up.
We got another e-mail
from the kidnappers.
I have a message. I have a message.
I have a message.
Yes, I have a message.
I have three different points
I wanna talk about.
Mariane, how's it going in there?
-Good. I'm coming.
-Okay.
-Okay. You look great.
-Thanks.
One moment.
That's good, that's great.
-Asra, come on. We should go.
-Yeah.
It's Danny's.
Okay, let's go.
That's perfect.
Jesus Christ.
Come on, you guys, let's go. Come on.
Come on, help us push.
