The informer in the car and the source of the news, as well as the story of the film

In the opening scene, Timmy sits with another boy. The other boy pretends to be asleep and kicks the chair in the front seat to frame Timmy. Mom turned around, but Timmy did not inform. Then the little girl ALISON ran over and said that someone was pulling her pigtails. Timmy said that she was the one who made a small report, and we should not make a small report, but her mother said that it was not to protect herself. In what happened next, she made the same choice as her son, not to be an informant.


The source and end of the relationship news. First of all, it is certain, but in the end, the original source is not stated. The original source was the ambassador's daughter. The ambassador's daughter ALISON could not provide proof but only said such a thing. And this is the source of this incident, so the heroine went to other people to inquire, mainly including the White House official.
What the ambassador’s daughter said is indeed not legally valid or credible, but it is a true source of information, and the heroine did not write the report by relying on the little girl’s words. Instead, she wrote the report after seeking verification and finally confirmed her words. .
So why is the heroine always so firm, even when facing prison life, separation of parent and child, betrayal of her husband and so on. Because we know that even if you tell the source of the news, the little girl ALISON as the source of the news will not be punished for it. So what is she insisting on? Please take a look at the sequence of events. After the death of the ambassador's wife, the White House official came out to confess. I read the analysis of some people, and I agree with some of them. The heroine is protecting her informants, and the White House official is one of the most important. I agree that the heroine will protect people including this White House official from the beginning. When the White House officials came out again, nothing happened. During this period, the ambassador's wife, ALISON's mother, died unexpectedly. In the end, the heroine did not choose to say it to protect the little girl's feelings. I don't want ALISON to think that her mother's death was caused by what she accidentally revealed.

The heroine is a journalist with a firm conviction from beginning to end, a water-walker (form from Bible).
