    Never leave a man behind. Refusing to leave without his fixer got me. I hope Luke and Gabriel know what courageous and honorable man their father is.
  • @RitzStarr
    Imagine being phoned and told they've been kidnapped and will die if you put them on hold...and then you put them on hold. How stupid was that secretary? I hope she got fired
  • I can’t even imagine the terror that came over the fixer when he knew his fate was sure death, then the relief when the Taliban agreed to let him go when his friend swore to die with him over being released in order for the both of them to be set free, that’s a mixture of emotions that not even a lifetime of therapy could heal
  • @UnknownStrobes
    “I’m really sorry, bit of an odd one this, I’ve been kidnapped…” is the most British thing ever hahahah
  • @BenjaminEmm
    His kids will now not only know their dad, but know he's a man of immense character. The balls to stand there and save his fixer, wow. Very few people like this man.
  • "You don't want to admit the worst has happened until you have to" - Those words ring so true.
  • @CrashD6
    If you ever seen a terrorist execution, you know how bad his situation was. Also, about his Fixer, Honor is Honor, it doesn't matter what part of the world you are, when they saw him refusing to give his kids' names and doing everything he could to safe his friend, they knew everything they needed about his character. What a Legend!
  • @TBAG
    what an absolute insane story! the courage he had to also in the end safe his fixer in beyond incredible. what a legend
  • This fellow is one of the bravest human beings I have ever heard of. Refusing to be released without his "fixer" was an all or nothing gamble. Who amongst us, not having been in such a situation, can claim we would have done the same? God Bless this fellow. Hope for humanity springs eternal!
  • “I could hear them squealing with delight, their skin under my hands…” The image produced in that description gave me chills, this man kneeling by a strange bed in a foreign land… But still a dad
  • His ability to be so lucid about such harrowing circumstances is astounding. A proper journalist. He knew his subject matter, he knew the culture, how the system works there, then saved his fixer at the same time. Legend
  • @AtomPunk
    This is one of the most incredible interviews I've ever heard. And what he did for his fixer? Breathtaking. This is a good man and I'm glad he's okay.
  • @She_Is_Toni
    "Unless you release my fixer, I'm not doing it" and "Welcome home, sir" had me overcome with emotions.
  • @madiantin
    Oh my gosh. His courage in saying he refuses to be released without his fixer...his pure honesty at the fact that he has about 5 seconds of courage left...I'm so thankful his prayer was answered and the fixer was released as well. I'm so glad he got to go home to be with his kids, that his kids get to know who he is.
  • @itsnadaaaa
    The fact that he was so knowledgeable about the culture and traditions is ultimately what saved his life. A perfect example of why it's good to learn about another country and the local lifestyle before traveling there.
  • This could be made into a movie. What an incredible story, and what a decent man.
  • His refusal to leave, in order to save his fixer, is one of the bravest things I've ever heard. A man of honor, integrity, and god.
