A day after 9/11, Danny and I flew to Pakistan.
He is the Head of the South Asia Bureau for the Wall Street Journal
and I work for the French Public Radio.
Thousands of reporters from all over the world arrived in Islamabad
to cover war in neighboring Afghanistan.
On October 7 the bombing began.
Taliban Government forces are quickly overwhelmed.
And with the end of the war, many reporters moved.
Danny and I live.
Reporting of nuclear weapons, Al-Qaeda, secret Jihad training camps and millions of refugees still live in Peshawar,
the birthplace of the Taliban.
As a hunt for Bin Laden continues in the Tora Bora mountains many fighters sneak back across the border into Pakistan,
Looking for a safe place to regroup.
And many people in Pakistan see America as an enemy and Taliban as their Muslim brothers.
At the end of January, I'm five months pregnant
and we are ready to go home.
But there is one more interview Danny wants.
We flew to Karachi, one of the largest cities in the world.
Main port goes to and departure from Pakistan.
a big and large city, chaotic where there are so many people
no one knows how to calculate it.
How did you find one of these?
Okay, thank you.
-Hei. -Hi. How are you?
yes, it's okay.
-Where is Mariane? - He is in bed, I think.
Do You Know Where the Cybernet Headquarters is?
Cybernet? yes. Why?
-You know Richard Reid? -yes.
He sent an email to the handler here, that's the address of Cybernet.
-You want to go there? -yes.
Hey. How do you feel?
Large. Pregnant. I smell.
I'll show you smell. Makes a lot of smell.
This is tomorrow when we will be in in an air-conditioned hotel in Dubai.
-What about my little fetus? -Good.
-ya? -yes.
yes
Secret?
-I have a name for him. -You did?
-Who? -Adam.
Adam?
-Hotel doesn't have a car today. -Really?
-Okay, Khuda hafeez. -I need one too.
This is not a problem. I will get Shabir to get you a taxi.
As long as it doesn't take too long. I can't be late.
I want to ask your advice about something.
I should have met tonight with Syaikh Gilani.
-Where should you meet him? -Pada Village Restaurant.
As long as you meet him in a public place You must be fine.
- Just be careful. -Okay, I will.
Good.
This is not just religious fundamentalism that we are at war.
This is a combination of ethnicity, retreat cultural values
and really rot criminal justice system.
So what is your focus, your solution?
- Did you leave tonight? -Tommorow.
Why, my friend?
-you know Dubai? -I know, sir, Dubai.
-Are you there? -No, no. Only Karachi.
So I tried to find someone who used ISP Cybernet as his.
I have an email account name
and I wonder if you will be able to give an IP number
or name of account holder?
This is possible but I think everything here is very confidential and we should not leak any information to anyone.
Asra? yes, I'll be there in 10 minutes.
Masud.
Danny. How are you? Is everything okay?
yes No, I'm all right, I'm on my journey now.
OK. Did Mariane go with you?
-No, he doesn't. He will stay at home. -Not? That is good.
-Why? Is there any problem? -No, no, there's no problem.
As long as you meet in public, should have no problem.
All right. I mean, that's what people tell me.
yes, because that's true. Good luck to the meeting.
yes, thank you.
Hey. Hey, baby.
-Hey, where are you? -I'm at the supermarket.
-Hey, this food is really good. -Yes, that's very good.
This is a Cuban dish.
-Kuba? -Cuba.
-is that where are you from? -There is no. My Cuban mother. I'm from Paris.
-Where's the CIA agent, man? -What do you mean?
All American journalists are CIA agents, right?
Definitely.
I work for the Wall Street Journal, so does that make me a CIA agent?
But what do Americans really know about Pakistan?
What do they know about Afghanistan?
Apart from that all time bombs.
That's why I'm a reporter, to let people know.
- That's a romantic idea from journalism. -I don't think so.
Reading the newspaper here, You will definitely be more cynical.
- Indian sweet girl. Yes, whatever.
That sounds very wrong.
Please try again later.
But that's how you guys said it, right? "Hot."
- Thank you for stopping by, dude. -Look at you soon, God willing.
Say salaam with your father, right?
I still can't get to Danny.
Well, maybe they brought it to a madrasa out of town.
No, he will call me. I will check the computer.
Okay.
Maybe the battery is running low or something.
"Dear Mr. Pearl, Thank you very much for your article.
" I have passed the print with the Shah Saab.
"He has been going to Karachi for several days.
" I will arrange an appointment with the Sheikh in Karachi for you
"on Tuesday or Wednesday.
" Please give Sheikh greetings. Bashir.
"Saab Sheikh expects you at 7:00 on Wednesday
" and hopefully You will get at least half an hour with him.
"looking forward to hear from you. Bashir."
How are you?
I found an e-mail setting for Danny meeting with Gilani.
Contact Him lmtiaz Siddique, 01300...
-ya. yes. -... 344
6543.
There are other numbers, wait. His cellphone.
-ya. -yes.
OK. Where is it?
No, this line is broken too. This doesn't work.
That e-mail address, "Nobadmashi."
In Urdu it means, like, "no error.". "
This is a strange e-mail address.
The number of siblings is nonsense and the Siddique number is nonsense.
That's bullshit.
"Jamaat Ul-Fuqra."
-Fugra? -Fugra, Fuqra, who cares?
Poor people.
Their aim is to purify Islam through violence.
"Ten unsolved murders. " Seventeen bombings between 1979 and 1990.
"Possible link to Richard Reid, shoe bomber.
" They are suspected of having a connection to terrorists "who bombed the World Trade Center in '93."
I don't know Gilani is serious.
No, Syaikh Gilani is a peaceful person. He is always angry when people die.
So he was angry because the World Trade Center was bombed?
Yes, because many of his followers are Americans.
Do you know who was behind the attack in the World Trade Center?
-Who? -Jew.
Really?
Mossad is the only one that can be organized like an event.
Do You Know that 4,000 Jews usually work in the Tower
did not appear that day?
What are you? A Christian?
No, Jew.
American Consulate, Corporal Bailey spoke.
How can I help you?

You know, Sheikh Gilani is a direct descendant of the Prophet.
He is a Pir.
- A holy man. -Saint.
Most journalists come here,
they came with only one story they wanted 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 met him.
I don't know until I meet him.
Sheikh Gilani doesn't want to meet reporters.
I understand. Listen, I have a number of articles.
If you want to see them, I will be happy to show you.
Is there a way for me to get in touch with you?

Look, Asra and I are your best allies.
Right? We are both journalists and we have to work together.
I don't want to have another way, Mrs. Pearl.
I need your support. I need your help.
-We have Danny's computer. -Okay. Can i see it?

Can you tell us what you know?
Danny wants to meet Gilani.
He left with Arif. And we talk to Bashir...
-and who is Arif? -I do not know.
What do you mean you don't know? How did you meet him?
-I got the number from a friend of mine. -Okay, so who's friend?
-I can't tell you. -You can't tell us? Why is that?
Is that because they pay you for Danny?
How much did they pay you for Danny?
I'm doing my work, helping Danny.
I don't think you understand how serious this problem is.
We need that name to find Danny. Danny is gone.
He might be able to help me find it. Okay? I need a name.
I promised him not to give his name.
Do you understand that maybe
A few weeks ago they have this legal organization
but now they all go underground.
Okay, look, I don't need political speech.
Can you give me some information?
She has short, thin hair and wears glasses.
We found one person.
I told Danny not to contact Bashir directly.
-Can you explain Bashir for us? -I can try.
-What is your name? -Aqeel Nawaz.
We bring something. That is the best we can find in Karachi.
I'm Randall Bennett.
- Nice to meet you in the end. -Nice to meet you.

And Veronique Laurent from the French Embassy.
And from FBI we have Maureen Platt...
Mrs. Pearl, we will need to see Daniel's computer.
gentlemen need to copy the hard drive.
Hello.
If you need something, don't hesitate.
Goodbye, Mariane, must be brave.
-How are you? -Kapten.
I have not been introduced for this man here.
Javed Habib, head of CID.
He leads the investigation in parts of Pakistan.
Interesting. thanks.
- Agent Platt. -Excuse me.
We have discussed
how important is that everyone shares information.
-Of course. -Bennett.
-Yes? -That kind of personal call.
Do you think You can you empty the room?
All right. Come on, gentlemen. Today. Let's go. Let's move it out.
thank you, gentlemen.
This is for you.
That's as much as when I can be together in 24 hours.
There's a lot about Gilani
and some other people are starting to appear.
Why don't we hear from the kidnappers?
Well, they will want Danny to be a safe place before they make contact.
And we have the police do everything they can
to make it difficult.
I want you to know that they consider D Danny hostages of high value
and they will want to stay alive.
Gilani.
Akbar.
Reid is going to Boston.
And then we count numbers.
So now we have one part of the news.
- Finally we have found a taxi driver. -What did he say?
He brought Danny to the Village Restaurant for 7:00.
Danny receives a telephone call and then he tells the taxi driver he can leave.
I'll let you go, okay? thanks.
yes, but we believe that story?
Waiters at the restaurant strengthen the story.
OK. Right.
And not lucky so far with Gilani.
-Or Bashir or Siddique? -There is no.
And what about Masud? What happened to him?
She's here.
We sent him back to Islamabad tonight.
He must find Arif.
She's here with her brother-in-law, who's a journalist.
Is he a journalist? He here?
He works for Takbeer. A Jihad newspaper. Very anti-US.
-What? Where is she? -He came out.
What is this? Who are the people?
Why did you bring them to my house?
-Why are there reporters at my house? -This man tortured me.
He's a torturer. He will go with me to Islamabad.
-What is this? -Help me.
That's not true. That is not true at all.
You need to find Arif and you need to find Bashir.
And don't take people to my house who aren't like Americans.
Danny is an American.
-And don't write nonsense. -Sorry for that.
He won't come back. His family will never let him return.
Some intelligence people went to his house said I was a kind of Indian spy and that they will make a big scandal for his family.
Is he afraid of his family?
Connect the line.
Mariane. Hi.
-How are you? -I am fine.
-There is news? No, nothing.
How is the honeymoon?
That's good, huh. It is good.
I carry a lot of things, computer, printer, telephone.
How many lines do you get us?
Six lines.
Where did they come from?
We cut the neighbor's telephone line.
What will happen to their cellphone?
They will have to use you.
Hasan, this is Steve.
Hello.
Do you speak Urdu?
Steve and Danny work together in Islamabad.
Okay. you know Mr. Pearl?
So, they still have to find Arif, -go-between,
Bashir in Rawalpindi,
Imtiaz Siddique in Karachi and Gilani, wherever he is.
and Danny.
Check everyone's ID before you let them pass.
My mother is here and she wants me to marry someone I really don't know.
-What, like a arranged marriage? -This is, 100%.
Have you seen this article from The Independent?
What is that?
Journal bureau in London sent via.
This is about a Pakistani Englishman, Omar Saeed Sheikh.
This claims that he wire $ 100,000 to Mohammed Atta before 9/11.
How is it connected to Danny?
Well, he is based in Rawalpindi and he specializes in kidnapping Westerners.
-Can I see it? -yes.
-Do you know him? -I know he's only by reputation.
-Hello. -This is John Bussey.
Let me talk to Mariane, please.
Hello?
-Hey, Mariane. This is John. How are you? -Hello.
I want you to come here.
I think maybe the best thing for me to do is go to Islamabad first.
No, no, to Karachi.
To make a diplomatic round with us.
OK. No, that makes sense to me.
-Immediately, huh? -Yes, very soon. very, very soon.
-All right. -We can write quite a lot he goes.
Captain, can I talk to you?
Danny is not a religious person. but...
But he is Jewish, by birth.
Okay.
Who else knows this?
He doesn't advertise
but he will not deny if someone asks him.
Okay.
But don't tell anyone.
I won't.
-See this. -What does it say?
It is said Danny is alleged to have been a Mossad agent and has an relationship with the Indian Intelligence Agency.
Give it to me.
-Who is it that I give that picture for? -Military Intelligence.
They think he's Mossad, they will kill him.
What does everyone do?
What is everyone doing?
Very ridiculous.
Is this the address?
Hello?
yes Yes, I understand.
Okay, yes, I have that. I have that. thanks.
-What? -There was an e-mail from the kidnappers.
"The National Movement for Restoration of Pakistan's Sovereignty " has arrested CIA officers Daniel Pearl
"who has disguised himself as a journalist from the Wall Street Journal.
" Unfortunately he is present
"very similar, in fact, by the way
" that Pakistan and citizens other sovereign countries
"It has been stored in Cuba by the American Army.
" If America remains our country is in better condition
"we will be more Mr. Pearl's condition " and all other Americans that we catch. "
Jang claims he is Mossad and now they claim he is CIA. These things they did to surprise you.
They asked to free the jet.
-Hello. Captain. -Randall.
I need the original e-mail so we can see the header.
Well, this is a copy.
original was sent to the Washington Post.
-I need the real one. -Here are photos.
-This is all of them here? -Okay.
This is the only document that came?
-When did you get this? -Half an hour ago.
Can we get someone to find out what this type of camera is?
yes, but it was not sent to the Journal.
-Is this clothes Danny? -Not.
-Can you print this for me please? -This photo doesn't look real.
I think it's an engineering photo. I don't think this is Danny.
Look at this,
You compare the dimensions here with the dimensions here.
it's Danny.
-Let's send it to the laboratory too. -Do what you want.
Dost, can you get on this right away?
We will have to get this to Washington.
-Hello? Mariane.
This is his mother. This is Danny's mother. Hello.
Do you see them?
- Photos of Danny. -Yes.
-That's good news, Mariane. -Yes.
This means Danny is still alive.
Yes, of course he is still alive. Yes.
People here, they don't think it's real.
They don't think they really are Danny.
Of course they are. I realized his hand.
Listen, they'll free him, okay?
I mean, nobody will want to hurt Danny.
Do you see that?
He smiles.
He has a gun on his head and he smiles and he tells me he's fine.
yes
He said "making love" to them.
He'll be fine. He will be fine.
I appreciate how difficult this meeting is this will be for you, Mrs. Pearl.
We need to authorize the Minister national power to look for Danny.
Just because he was brought in Karachi does not mean he is still here.
Minister. Nice to meet you.
-This is Mariane Pearl. -How do you do it?
Thank you for meeting us.
Mrs. Pearl, let me say something.
There are 3,000 reporters in Pakistan during the war in Afghanistan.
Not one of them has a problem.
Danny and I two of them reporters,
so I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
Why does your husband have to meet these people?
He is a journalist.
I don't think this is a business a journalist.
I'm sorry to correct you,
but it's really a business reporter.
-Mrs. Pearl. -Yes?
We have information
that Indian Intelligence Services are behind this kidnapping.
Do you really believe? I don't think...
They are trying to embarrass Pakistan
by blaming Islamic extremists or ISI
for the loss of an American journalist. Don't you see it?
I think we must conclude at this time.
Mr. Bauman, I'm a little busy and I have some previous involvement.
thank you. Mr. Bauman.
-Mrs. Pearl. -thank you.
- thank you. -Thank you, Mr. Bauman.
Have you ever seen this person?
I'm looking for someone who lives here called Chaudhry Bashir.
Here is the number.
How long do we have to stay here?
Until we find him.
I'm sorry I can't come fast. I've left.
But I have here a list of all the calls that Danny made from 19.
Didn't you meet Danny on the day that he was kidnapped?
That's right. Danny told me he met Gilani.
In fact, when he was with me, he received two phone calls.
Right.
Alright, I'll be there.
We work with telephone numbers.
We start with Danny and Arif,
Imtiaz Siddique and that is Bashir.
From the numbers we find their contact
and then we get the number that they are called and so on
until we find the kidnappers. This is our business.
And let me assure you, we know what we do.
They source IP from Bashir's e-mail, right?
That's what they tried to do.
-and not lucky so far? -There is no.
We come to you from Los Angeles home to Daniel Pearl,
journalists who have been kidnapped in Pakistan.
A group that calls itself
National Movement for Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty
who claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and said it hoped for better treatment US prisoners in Cuba were detained.
Excuse me, sorry.
Are you sure this is the right way? Is this the right way?
Yes, sir.
Do you have a map?
No. Sorry.
The scene outside the home is out of control.
-We have to respond. -I think you have to handle most of it.
Large. We have already received hundreds and hundreds of requests.
You have an authority that has something else to say who is Danny.
And they already said that he was Mossad.
They already said he was a CIA.
By not responding in secret that allows us this thing to go is incomparable.
We have also spoken to Colin Powell.
Colin Powell has spoken to President Musharraf.
- What did he ask him to do? -We also got a...
I'm sorry. We have also issued a statement
says that Danny doesn't work for the Government,
that Danny doesn't work for the CIA.
CIA then agreed to issue a statement confirming that.
-They will make sure the public? -yes.
-CIA? -yes.
We do everything we possibly can to ensure that Danny is safe.
Okay, we're on our way.
Masud, where is the trainer station for Muzaffarabad?
Did Arif go to Muzaffarabad?
From the Pirwadhi Bus Station?
Is Arif here?
Seventy-three numbers have now been recognized as possible suspects.
our analysis starts to pay off.
One of the numbers called Bashir is the land line in Lahore.
And that land line belongs to the Sony TV dealer.
And Sony TV dealers often call other people in Karachi.
And this person often calls other people in Punjab.
Where is the Hashim house?
Where is Hashim?
We want to find a house.
Why did you come here?
Now, the important thing is, Hasyim also left with the name Arif.
-Arif? -it was great.
-We have photos 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? -There is no. There is no body.
We don't believe he is certainly dead.
her group has many fighters in Kashmir.
we thought he might have gone to Muzaffarabad.
-Hello. -Hei, Asra. This is John Bussey.
I just want to give you over your head.
We have more e-mails from the kidnappers.
I have one message. I have one message. I have one message.
Yes, I have one message.
I have three different points I want to talk about.
Mariane, how are you there?
-Good. I come. -Okay.
-Okay. You look great. -thank you.
one moment.
That's good, that's great.
-Asra, come on. We have to go. -yes.
That's Danny
Alright, let's go.
it's perfect.
Jesus Christ. Come on, guys, let's go. Come on
Come on, help us push
Pay attention to your toes, John.
yes, we will give you a shout, you enter
There we go.
that my husband and I are both journalists.
We are two people who met and fell in love
because we have the same ideal.
She's someone who...
I never saw him say a lie.
In his journalism, I've never seen someone so honest.
And how do you deal with this?
I don't sleep for six days if that's what you ask.
But I have hope.
I'm not hopeless because I believe that if I stop trying to create this dialog,
then I stop believing in everything else And I can't do that.
I'm pregnant.
and if you can say one thing to your husband now, what will you say to him?
I love you.
yes, okay. Let's cut it there. Thank you very much.
thank you.
-All right -Thank you. Great.
-Great, Holly. -Thank you, John. I will call you.
I like the fact that you hold yourself together.
You will not know that her husband has been kidnapped for six days.
We have to find a way to get Mariane to eat more.
I think this is important to him. For his health.
She's a pregnant woman, she has to feed this baby.
Just so you know, I'm not a very good cook.
You know, maybe it's something _ from whether we all eat together.
"You cannot deceive us and find us. " We are in the sea, ocean, hill, grave, everywhere.
"This cycle will continue
" and no American journalist can enter Pakistan. "
Regarding Mr. Pearl, we are very concerned about his safety and our heart goes to his family,
and I know that colleagues in the Wall Street Journal
very concerned.
We do everything we can to try to find it and save it.
I have spoken to President Musharraf in Pakistan
about the situation and I know that he did everything he could.
Claims that kidnappers have placed
does not demand that we can meet or deal with
or enter into negotiations about.
The prisoners at Guantanamo are being treated humanely.
I love you.
Don't collapse now.
Everyone can collapse but not you. Don't you collapse.
Pakistani authorities are very, well, they are very embarrassed by this and they won't go easy on bad guys, I'll tell you that now.
I mean, the method they use is here,
these people will tell us what we want to know.
I want front-row seats
when they hang them with their feet and beat them with sticks.
Right, good night.
And we will see you, You stay all night, huh?
do you live? yes? all night?
Place it here, please. thank you.
-So we have a chef? -Yes.
John got him from Mr. Bauman. He usually works at the US Consulate.
"confusing question about Indian women in Pearl's case."
That is the perfect word for Asra.
"security agency is investigating some confusing questions
" relating to Indian Muslim women, Asra Q. Nomani. "

Danny's body has been found.
-He is in the morgue. -Bro.
Dost is on its way to collect you.
-All right, thank you. -What?
We have to go there. It's better to get people here before we leave.
Damn it!
Where is the person? Where are the servants?
John, fuck the bill. What are you fucking talking about?
What!
What did he say? What did the Captain say?
He said they had a body in the morgue.
I have come to you with a tragic development in the case of Daniel Pearl,
Wall Street Journal which has been lost for 10 days.
According to Karachi police, now we can confirm that he is dead.
His body was found dumped outside a car in downtown Karachi.
He has several gunshot wounds.
Can you open your mouth?
-This isn't Danny. -What do you mean it's not Danny?
Well, he has braces in his mouth...
That's not Danny's ***.
-What? -That's not fucking Danny.
So wait, wait. I am sorry.
Do you doubt the reality did I see this?
Did you really ask me to get you a second source?
Hello? yes, it's not damn Danny.
No, it's a fucking lranian student, for God's sake.
This is not Danny.
-Do you come? -yes.
I just want to get you, good, you have to know.
All right, okay.
I can't believe that they only announced without any confirmation.
yes, in the middle of from Super Bowl Sunday.
I can't imagine who the sources are.
Everyone calls Journal for bidding.
-This isn't Danny, you know that? -I know.
I talked to the Journal.
Just, you know, being strong.
I know. We will.
Who is this man Daniel Pearl You keep mentioning again and again?
I'm not asking about being, I'm just curious...
I don't know.
I said before, I've never heard of this person before.
I say, what do you think about the articles?
I have never read the article. What are you trying to get?
No, we have an email that says,
"I spoke to the secretary of the Shaykh yesterday
" and he said that Sheikh Sahib had read your article
"and that you are welcome to meet him."
You made an appointment.
You read the article. He said Bashir wrote to Daniel.
Bashir wrote to Daniel Pearl, why don't you ask Bashir?
Why don't you ask for it?
Mariane?
We have arrested Gilani.
He is in Muzaffarabad but he is here now.
-What did he say? -He is not involved.
Wait, wait, wait.
And whoever these people are,
they think about doing this for weeks.
This is disappointing.
This only removes one part, I don't see this as a negative thing.
This is not a dead end, I think it's just the opposite.
Now, now, the good news is Zhafir and Farooq have tracked down one of the e-mails.
It was sent from the server in the Noman City Apartment.
There is a group of people who are looking for computers who uses the server when the e-mail is sent by the kidnapper.

Is this your computer?
-This computer is mine. -Turn on, please.

Where is Daniel Pearl?
I don't know.
Do you know?
I don't know anything.
Tell me what you know.
I don't know anything.
Do you know?
Just tell me.
Do you know?
What did you do?
I don't know anything.
-What do you know? -There is no.
Who asked you to e-mail?
Who do you work for?
Who asked you to e-mail?
Sheikh Omar.
-Dost, enter -I'm here, Captain.
Hurry up, come on.
Check all rooms.
Search for everything.
Who are you?
Is this the way to come to the house of that honorable person?
Where is Sheikh Omar?
You must have a contact number.
Nine-zero-seven-zero 2-7-two-six.
Where is Sheikh Omar?
-We don't know anything. -Give me a phone call Fair.
Come on.
Give me a Fair phone.
We have a number of Omar.
Hello?
Omar Sheikh?
Yes?
This is Jawed Habib speaking... Omar Sheikh.
We have all the information, we know everything about you.
Farhad, Adil, Suleiman, we have all of them.
Check your caller ID.
He hung up.
Come on, take them out.
Fair told us that he met Omar in Afghanistan.
Suddenly I realized Bashir Omar Saeed Sheikh.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
The FBI found a photo of Danny on Farhad's man's computer
which is the key for Sheikh Omar.
So we have this article and we only save it
and that's about Omar Saeed Sheikh.
I'm here somewhere.
Okay, look, here it is, here it is.
"born in England and educated. A known Jihadist.
" Arrested for kidnapping four tourists in India,
"one American, three English.
"The four were released without injury."
-They were released without injury? -yes.
So this person is a serious, serious player.
He was arrested in 1994 for this kidnapping and was put in an Indian prison until 1999.
and was put in an Indian prison until 1999.
-Why is he released? -There is a hostage exchange.
An Indian airline was hijacked and flown to Afghanistan.
He's Al Qaeda.
He has a connection, yes, we know. but...
Close the connection, he said, with Al-Qaeda.
We caught two cousins.
We will fight kidnappers with kidnapping.
Are you okay?
-Mariane, what's wrong? -Yes, I'm all right. I'm all right.
What is it.
Are you okay?
A healthy fetal heart rate and blood pressure are very normal.
I will give you medicine. You will feel better. Okay?
Okay. thanks.
"Making a habit of not urinating when you feel the need
" increases the risk that you get inflamed can irritate the uterine bladder
"and triggered a contraction.
" So don't hold it in. "
submitted to the CIA a computer
who has information about Richard Reid
and it's an attempt to blow up American Airline flights.
And then you tell everyone that you did that.
Mariane, look at this.
The Wall Street Journal said everyone worked together with the CIA.
We turned on the computer for because we had a choice.
-Okay. Okay. -It is a national security problem.
For outsiders it can look like CIA is in bed with the Journal.
So, what, do you think it's a factor? Just ignore it?
I don't think Danny was brought because he works for the Wall Street Journal.
We don't know.
They know where he works and they say the CIA. This is something.
Let's be honest about that, they call all spies.
If you are an Indian in Pakistan, You must be an Indian spy.
Okay, this is what I think.
Two days before Danny was kidnapped
The US requested Pakistan to surrender Omar Saeed Sheikh.
Now, Omar is supposed to send money to Mohammed Atta before 9/11.
Now, rumors
that this money came from Lieutenant General Mahmood Ahmed
who is the head of the ISI.
Now, on October 7, Musharraf sacked the General.
Now, is that because of his involvement?
-Hello? -Mariane?
-Yes? Already-We have Omar Saeed Sheikh.
Is Daniel Pearl still alive?
I don't know yet.
Do you know where he is?
I hope to help you.
Who held it up?
I don't know.
That's the whole point of operation,
so that everyone knows as little as possible.
Why did you kidnap him?
-Why? -Why did you kidnap him?
-He is an American. -He is an American? Only that?
yes
Do you think you are a good Muslim?
At least I have the power to stand up for something I believe in,
unlike others in this room.
How old is your child?
She's a baby, Captain. Cute little baby.
-You miss him? -With hard work.
Do you want to see it?
God willing, if Allah wills then it will be very.
-What about your baby? -We can arrange for that.
Do you want to see your baby grow?
Omar Saeed Sheikh surrendered in more than a week ago, on February 5.
This is the same night that the attack was carried out at his aunt's house.
Where is he?
He surrendered to Brigadier Ejaz Shah.
He is the Main Secretary of Punjab.
This person is an ex-ISI.
He is connected with Omar's family and he saved the secret capture of Omar for a week.
-Is he interrogated by the ISI? -We don't know.
Omar left for a week? Did he leave for a week?
What did he say about Danny?
He didn't say anything about that. However.
-Mariane? -What?
British-born militant Sheikh Omar
arrived at a tightly guarded court, his face was closed.
Do you know where is Daniel Pearl detained?
No, I don't.
Do you know if Daniel Pearl lives?
As far as I know he is not alive.
On February 5, I spoke to my brothers on the telephone
and I told them to take the patient to the doctor.
This is the code to release hostages.
But it's too late.
So this is bullshit.
They're just liars, they're just crazy and liars.
I think if he doesn't live, with all the pressure we put
I think we will have his body from somewhere.
And whatever Mr. Omar has lately said that maybe he is not alive,
I don't trust him.
He has switched parties
and divert the statement several times,
that's what I said.
He might try to get us off track.
So I think really, maybe I hope And I pray that he is still alive.

The day when every Muslim family sacrificial animals for God.
In remembering Ibrahim willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail.
This meat is then divided into three parts,
one for family, one for neighbors, and one for poor people.
Mariane, thank you very much for being with us today.
You came to Pakistan in peace.
You came here looking for the truth, with your husband Now you leave Pakistan as a widow after your husband was brutally murdered.
Does your message have for Pakistanis?
Danny was killed this month.
But also 10 other people killed by terrorists
and they are all Pakistani.
So they suffer as big as us, right?
Now, how do you handle some sympathetic Pakistanis
for militant groups like them who killed your husband?
Karachi is in a number of front-line ways in this battle.
This is not just a group of Pakistani extremists.
This is a broad and international network of terrorists.
And wherever there is suffering, they find people
and there is suffering, You Know, in many parts of the world.
Of course that might happen,
but did you see the videotape from what they did to your husband?
Are you not fit?
How do you ask that?
Mariane, me...
Thank you for being with us today.
Okay, I think we're done.
-S-a-t-c-h-i. -Satchi.
-That's okay. -And the middle name, please, Satchi.
OK. Excuse me.
I'm sorry. Come back, come back.
Is there another way out of here?
yes, I know another way. Please follow me.
-Please. Come. this way. -Okay.
Damn mass.
-this way, please. -Here?
yes sure yes
thank you, Eunuch. we appreciate that. thanks.
This is crazy, they are everywhere.
Pearl is 38 and graduated from Stanford before starting a career in journalism.
He joined Wall Street Journal in 1990.
that's good
One more from this.
I just want to say something for everyone.
I want to, I want to thank you for all your work and all your efforts
and your kindness
and I know how much you want to find and bring Danny home.
You don't fail, you know?
Danny is dead, but the kidnappers,
their point is to terrorize people, right?
I'm not terrorized. And you cannot be terrorized.
I'm very grateful for all of you. Very, very grateful. So thank you.
So please, let's eat.
Everything looks really good. That is good.
this is great
goodbye.
goodbye. Watch Out.
Thank you very much carefully - thank you. -Welcome
All right. I will see you.
Oh, my daughter You're so beautiful.
In Buddhism there is no god.
The aim of Buddhism is to draw out all power,
courage, wisdom and good faith.
you make me happy every time you smile.
We will create a beautiful world together.
Wine represents joy.
Breaking glass symbolizes fragility of human joy.
And also violates guilt.
They found Danny's body cut into 10 pieces.
Nobody told me.
I learned in an e-mail
that was installed by accident to the email sent to me.
I decided that, before Adam was born,
I have to face everything that happened to Danny.
He is being held in an isolated hut in the complex on the outskirts of Karachi.
One day, when he was without handcuffs to go to the toilet, he tried to escape.
They caught him and chained him to a car engine.
Next time he tries to break away when he is walking with his kidnappers Once he yells at a pedestrian...
Then, one day, maybe February 1
three people who speak Arabic are taken to headquarters.
Danny is arguing with one of them. Then they turned to the video
My name is Daniel Pearl.
My father is Jewish. My mother is Jewish. I'm Jewish.
Maybe they say this made it
but I know he is invincible because of the next thing he said.
Something kidnappers can't be known.
In the city of Benei Beraq in Israel
there is a road called Chaim Pearl Street
which was named after my great-grandfather
which is one of the founders of the city.
I forced myself to imagine all that
and when it's done I know nothing can happen
that I will not have the courage to face.
This film is for Adam.
