:48:00
Police indicate that the girl's
blouse has been identified,
:48:04
sliced up the back, in what has become
a grim, all-too-familiar calling card.
:48:08
Young Catherine Martin is the only
daughter of Senator Ruth Martin,
:48:12
the Republican senator from Tennessee.
:48:14
Her kidnapping is not considered
to be politically motivated,
:48:18
but it has stirred
the government to its highest levels.
:48:21
Reached for comment on the ski slopes
of Vermont, the president is said to be,
:48:25
and I quote, "intensely concerned".
:48:28
Just moments ago Senator Martin
taped this dramatic personal plea.
:48:32
I'm speaking now to the person
who is holding my daughter.
:48:37
Catherine is very gentle and kind.
:48:41
Talk to her and you'll see.
:48:44
You have the power. You are in charge.
:48:50
I know you can feel love and compassion.
:48:55
You have a wonderful chance
to show the whole world
:48:59
that you can be merciful
as well as strong,
:49:02
that you're big enough to treat Catherine
better than the world has treated you.
:49:07
You have that power.
:49:09
Please.
:49:11
My daughter is Catherine.
:49:13
Boy, that's smart.
Jesus, that's really smart.
:49:17
She keeps repeating the name.
:49:20
If he sees Catherine as a person and not
just an object, it's harder to tear her up.
:49:25
Release my little girl.
:49:28
You're coming into my hospital
to conduct an interview
:49:31
and refusing to share information
with me for the third time.
:49:35
Sir, I told you, this is just a routine
follow-up on the Raspail case.
:49:39
- He is my patient. I have rights.
- I understand that, sir.
:49:43
Look, I am not just
some turnkey, Miss Starling.
:49:48
This is the number
for the US attorney's office.
:49:51
Either you discuss this with him or you
let me do my job, do you understand?
