A Mighty Heart
The day after 9/11,
Danny and I flew to Pakistan.
He was the South Asia Bureau Chief
for the Wall Street Journal
and I was working
Thousands of journalists from
all over the world arrived in Islamabad
to cover the war
in neighboring Afghanistan.
On the 7th October the bombing began.
The forces of the Taliban Government
were rapidly overwhelmed.
And with the end of the war,
many journalists moved on.
Danny and I stayed.
Reporting on nuclear weapons,
Al Qaeda, secret Jihadi training camps
and the million refugees
still living in Peshawar,
the birthplace of the Taliban.
As the hunt for Bin Laden
continued in the mountains of Tora Bora
across the border into Pakistan,
Looking for a safe place to regroup.
And many people in Pakistan
saw America as the enemy
and the Taliban
By the end of January,
I was five months pregnant
and we were ready to go home.
But there was one more interview
that Danny wanted.
We flew to Karachi,
one of the largest cities in the world.
The main port of entry to
and departure from Pakistan.
A vast, sprawling, chaotic city
where there are so many people
nobody knows how to count them.
How do you find
one man amongst all this?
Okay, thank you.
-Hey.
-Hi. How's it going?
Yeah, it's okay.
-Where's Mariane?
-She's in bed, I think.
Do you know where the
headquarters of Cybernet is?
Cybernet? Yeah. Why?
-You know Richard Reid?
-Yeah.
He sent an e-mail to his handler here,
it's a Cybernet address.
-You wanna go there?
-Yeah.
Hey. How are you feeling?
Huge. Pregnant. I stink.
I'll show you stink. Make a lot of stink.
This time tomorrow we're gonna be
in an air-conditioned hotel in Dubai.
-How's my little embryo?
-Good.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Yeah.
Secrets?
-I have a name for him.
-You do?
-What?
-Adam.
Adam?
-Sheraton haven't got any cars today.
-Really?
-Okay, khuda hafeez.
-I need one as well.
It's not a problem.
I'll get Shabir to get you guys a taxi.
As long as it doesn't take too long.
I can't be late.
-Thank you.
-No problem.
All right, I gotta roll. I love you.
-I'll call you. Leave your phone on.
-Okay.
I'll see you at the supermarket, okay?
Take care of her.
-Do you have a boy?
-I have a daughter, one, sir.
-How old?
-Maybe eight and a half months.
Daughter good. No problem. Life.
-Boy too much problem, life.
-Yeah.
Danny. Kaleem Yusuf.
-Danny Pearl.
-Nice to meet you.
Please, come through.
Would you care for some tea?
I want to ask your advice
about something.
I'm supposed to meet tonight
with Sheikh Gilani.
-Where are you supposed to meet him?
-At the Village Restaurant.
Provided you meet him at a public place
you should be all right.
-Just be careful.
-Okay, I will.
Good.
It's not just religious fundamentalism
that we are fighting.
It's a combination of tribalism,
retrogressive cultural values
and a totally decayed
criminal justice system.
So what is your focus, your solution?
-Tonight you go?
-Tomorrow, yeah.
Why, my friend?
-You know Dubai?
-I know, sir, Dubai.
-Have you been there?
-No, no. Only Karachi.
So I'm trying to find someone
who's using Cybernet as his lSP.
I have the e-mail account name
and I was wondering if you'd
be able to give me the IP number
or the name of the account holder?
It is possible but I guess everything
here is very confidential
and we are not supposed to leak
any sort of information to anybody.
Asra? Yeah, I'll be there in 10 minutes.
Masud.
Masud.
Danny. How are you?
Is everything okay?
