A Mighty Heart Page #5

Watch your toes, John.

Yeah, we'll give you a holler, you get in.

There we go.

One question?

You know, emphasize the baby.

Emphasize the fact that you and Danny

are both journalists working here.

Okay.

-Bussey, she's fine. Just relax.

-Okay.

Mrs. Pearl,

the group holding your husband

has given a 24-hour deadline for the

United States to meet their demands

or else they say

that they'll kill your husband Daniel.

Do you have a message to that group?

Yeah, I have a message.

Three different points

I wanna talk about.

The first one

is that I want to remind them

that my husband and I

are both journalists.

We are two people who met

and fell in love

because we have the same ideal.

He's someone who...

I never saw him say a lie.

In his journalism,

I've never seen anyone so honest.

And how are you coping with this?

I haven't slept for six days

if that's what you're asking.

But I have hope.

I'm not desperate

because I believe that if I stop trying

to create this dialogue,

then I stop believing in everything else

and I can't do that.

I'm pregnant.

And if you could say one thing to your

husband now, what would you tell him?

And if you could say one thing to your

husband now, what would you tell him?

I love you.

Yeah, okay. Let's cut there.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

-All right.

-Thank you. Great.

-Great, Holly.

-Thank you, John. I'll ring you.

I like the fact

that you held yourself together.

You wouldn't know her husband

has been kidnapped for six days.

We gotta figure out a way

to get Mariane to eat more.

I think it's important for her.

For her health.

She's a pregnant woman,

she's gotta feed this baby.

Just so you know,

I'm not a very good cook.

You know, maybe it's a matter

of if we're all eating together.

"You cannot fool us and find us.

"We're inside seas, oceans,

hills, graveyards, everywhere.

"This cycle will continue

"and no American journalist

could enter Pakistan."

With respect to Mr. Pearl, we're deeply

concerned about his safety

and our hearts go out to his family,

and I know that his colleagues

at the Wall Street Journal

are deeply concerned.

We're doing everything we can

to try to locate him and rescue him.

I have spoken

to President Musharraf in Pakistan

about the situation and I know

that he's doing everything he can.

The demands that the

kidnappers have placed

are not demands that we

can meet or deal with

or get into a negotiation about.

The detainees at Guantanamo

are being treated humanely.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Don't you collapse now.

Everybody else can collapse

but not you. Don't you collapse.

The Pakistani authorities are very,

well, they're very embarrassed by this

and they are not gonna go easy on

the bad guys, I'll tell you that right now.

I mean, the methods they use over here,

these guys are gonna tell us

what we wanna know.

I'd like a front-row seat

when they hang them up by their feet

and beat them with sticks.

Right, goodnight.

And we'll see you,

you stay all night, yeah?

You stay? Yeah?

All night?

Put here, please.

Thank you.

-So we have a chef?

-Yes.

John got him from Mr. Bauman.

He normally works at the US Consulate.

"Baffling questions

about Indian lady in Pearl case."

That is the perfect word for Asra.

"Security agencies

are probing several baffling questions

"pertaining to the Indian Muslim lady,

Asra Q. Nomani."

Is there a photo of me there?

"Miss Nomani is staying at a house

in Karachi

"that the latter

got on a monthly rental of Rs. 40,000."

They're putting

how much rent I'm paying?

-Rs. 40,000?

-Yeah.

"As her address in lndia,

with her phone number 91-223..."

-What?

-It has my address?

How can they get

that kind of information?

It's obvious.

Security agencies. Who else?

That's their job, they're doing their job.

-You better change your phone number.

-It's a Pakistan and India thing.

What do you think of this, Shabir?

He is saying God is raining.

God is coming down with the rain.

This is the main attraction.

-You want me to carve it?

-I believe you're good with a knife.

The American Consul really knows

how to survive in Pakistan.

Let's enjoy our food.

This is a Cotes du Rhone.

Wow, vinegar.

Steve's a good name.

Because you've got Stephen.

You've got Steve, you've got Stevie.

Jonathan, Jon, Jonny.

-Formal, nickname, sex name.

-So, it'll be like...

You know what's pretty is Alison.

-Ali, Alison, Al, for instance.

-Jonny's like a little boy's name.

-Theresa.

-You know, it's really old-fashioned.

-Mother Theresa.

-No.

-Hey, Captain, what's up?

-I'm afraid there's bad news.

What is it?

Danny's body has been found.

-He's in the morgue.

-F***.

Dost is on his way to collect you.

-Okay, thank you.

-What?

We've gotta get over there.

Better get the guy here before we go.

F***!

Where's the guy?

Where's the waiter guy?

John, f*** the bill.

What are you f***ing talking about?

F***!

What did he say?

What did Captain say?

He said they've got the body

in the morgue.

I come to you with a tragic development

in the case of Daniel Pearl,

the Wall Street Journal reporter

who's been missing for 10 days.

According to Karachi police,

we can confirm now that he is dead.

His body was found dumped outside

of a car in downtown Karachi.

He had several bullet wounds.

Can you open the mouth?

-It's not Danny.

-What do you mean it's not Danny?

Well, he's got braces in his mouth...

That's not f***ing Danny.

-What?

-It's not f***ing Danny.

So wait, wait. I'm sorry.

Are you doubting the fact

that I saw this?

Are you actually asking me

to get you a second source?

Hello? Yeah, it's not

f***ing Danny.

No, it's a f***ing lranian student,

for God's sakes.

It is not Danny.

-Are you coming over?

-Yeah.

I just wanted to get you,

well, you should know.

All right, okay.

I can't believe that they just

announced it without any confirmation.

Yeah, in the middle

of Super Bowl Sunday.

I can't imagine who

those sources were.

Everyone's calling the

Journal for a quote.

-It's not Danny, you know that?

-I know.

I've been talking to the Journal.

Just, you know, be strong.

I know. We will be.

Who's this gentleman Daniel Pearl

you keep mentioning again and again?

I'm not asking you about

his whereabouts, I just want to know...

I don't know.

I've told you earlier,

I've never heard of this man before.

I'm saying, what's your

opinion about his articles?

I've never read his articles.

What are you trying to get at?

No, we have the mails which says,

"I spoke to Sheikh's secretary yesterday

"and he told me

that Sheikh Sahib has read your articles

"and that

you are welcome to meet him."

You gave the appointment.

You read the articles.

It says Bashir wrote to Daniel.

Bashir wrote to Daniel Pearl,

why don't you ask Bashir?

Why don't you ask him?

Mariane?

We have caught Gilani.

He was in Muzaffarabad

but he is here now.

-What did he say?

-He's not involved.
