That's the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
So it's going to sound very bureaucratic to us because it has been scripted by a bureau.
And so there's wording in there that is designed to try and get a certain result because statistically they believe if you say certain things, it will get you more of a result than if you say other things.
And when you package all of these statistics together, you get a speech which is a little bit odd.
And you have to read it because nobody in their right mind, if their parent has been potentially captured in this way, nobody would come up with that script themselves.
OK, so look, it's heavily, heavily scripted, which is why they have to have that script.
Yeah.
Which is why you're going to get like high blink rate from one of them.
One of them is used to working off autocue, you know, and the, and the other and working off a script and the other is female is, is not.
Both the siblings at the side there have got the same heavy breathing because they're both in sorrow.
They're both in sorrow.
They're slightly out of sync with each other, but they both have sorrowful breathing.
The sibling in the center there, Savannah, she's a little more confident about this because she's used to delivering off a script.
At the same time, not this kind of script and not in this circumstance.
So you've got her delivering a performance that we wouldn't normally expect from her.
And these two on the outside here have never delivered anything like this.
Now, the male, I think at this point, has been chosen not to deliver anything because the male, I can see anger and disdain.
And my belief is he wouldn't deliver this script in the way that it needs to be delivered in order to get a potential captor feeling for the mother and feeling for those siblings and wanting to do a deal.
He wouldn't be able to deliver it in that way.
You know he's a fighter pilot.
