Got time for breakfast?
No.
I have to be at the theater by eight.
Doubts remain as to the origin of the explosion
that killed Mohammed Boudia,
but the political context of the incident is clear.
Boudia was a fervent partisan of the Palestinian cause.
some people even maintain
he ran the "Black September" terror cell in France.
Arab sources place this car bombing
in the series of assassinations
undertaken by Israeli secret service
that claimed the life last January of a Fatah delegate in Paris.
Don't drive in circles. I know Beirut.
How long have you been with us?
I've been at a training course in Jordan.
In the summer of 1970.
But I didn't learn that much.
Most of the people were European leftists.
The people, bourgeois students, not real fighters.
So you have never really fought then?
I have. I wasn't on your side there, in Black September.
Under the orders of Abu Eyar.
And I was in the mountains, fighting until...
February, when I was wounded in my leg.
You can ask Bassan Abu Sharief or George Habash.
Habash?
Habash is no longer with us.
I know that. That is the reason why I'm here.
I don't agree with him.
Like you, I strongly believe that the Palestinian struggle
should take an international level.
Arafat is a traitor.
He's ready to make any kind of compromise.
Our organization serves the Palestinian revolution.
The cowards that betray us are our enemies.
I live in London.
I can be very useful there.
Mohammed Boudia who headed operations in Europe
was executed by Israeli agents from the Mossad.
I believe I can replace him.
You are still a boy, I need man.
So you don't trust me because I'm young?
You have to prove yourself.
We'll give you a mission.
What mission?
André will tell you.
André is a fighter I have chosen as Abu Hadiya's successor.
He's in Paris now.
He'll contact you.
When?
In time.
Wait.
Consider yourself a member of PLPF.
You'll backup André.
Choose a code name for yourself.
I already have.
Are you André?
Come in.
We'll work together.
You in London, me in Paris.
Tell me nothing. No address, no number.
Choose a contact you trust, who can serve as a mailbox.
Can you use one?
I'm used to more serious weapons.
This is all I can offer.
Five? That's all?
Where's your boss?
- Upstairs. - Take me to him.
Take me to him. Over there.
- Sir! Sir! - Yes? What is it?
What are your memories of what actually happened?
Accidentally...
Happened in a hmm.. the flash.
The door opens. All of the bathroom opens.
Then I saw cannon.
The chairman of the retailer Marks and Spencer
was seriously wounded yesterday this home
when a masked man fired at him.
Vice-President of the Zionist Federation,
Sieff has publicly sided with the Israeli cause.
You skipped the demonstration against Pinochet's coup.
Demonstrations never change a thing. It's war.
It can't be won by picketing.
How then?
There are other methods.
Such as?
Words get us nowhere.
It's time for action.
Your table's ready. This way, please.
Thank you.
What kind of action?
We have to commit.
Commit to what?
To the revolution.
How do you mean?
By covert actions?
By resistance.
I've formed a group.
I want you to join us.
Ilich, fighting capitalism with guerrilla means is romantic,
but doomed to failure.
No more desperate causes. They lead nowhere.
So we do nothing? Is that what I do?
You talk politics in London cafes.
Is that the answer?
While they kill our comrades in Chile and Jordan.
I told you what I saw.
The balance of power is against us.
- A myth. - Not true. Look at Che!
He ended up dead. Despite his experience!
Why fight the right in Latin America?
You think Latin American dictators operate alone? Huh?
Gringos pull the strings.
Overthrow them and imperialism still wins!
I'm advocating an internationalist struggle,
uniting revolutionaries the world over.
Look how the Vietcong disgraced the gringos.
Squashed them like shit.
The balance of power isn't against us.
The fight I propose will lead us to glory.
Glory?
That's what you want. To be admired!
Bourgeois arrogance hidden behind revolutionary rhetoric!
Just another selfish, two-bit petit-bourgeois!
I'm talking about true glory.
Not what the Zionist media drones on about.
But the pleasure of doing one's duty in silence.
Behind every bullet we fire, there will be an idea.
Because we act in harmony with our conscience.
You say I'm arrogant? I guess I am.
For defending the innocent.
You know what? Look at me when I talk!
You'll be hearing my name a lot.
What's more,
it's no longer Ilich.
It's Carlos.
You travel to Europe often.
I told you. I import oriental rugs.
Don't you think we know?
You were at Wadi Haddad's.
I don't work for him.
So why were you there?
- I'm a middleman. - A middleman?
For whom?
Nourredine.
Who is Nourredine?
Nourredine who?
I don't know.
I know only his first name.
You contact him?
No, he contacts me. Only when he needs me.
Does he pay you too?
Answer the question!
No one pays me.
It's for the Palestinian cause.
- Your tip was good. - He works for Haddad.
We have nothing on him. Fake passports.
Not enough to keep him.
So let him go.
They'll pick him up in Paris.
- And his bag? - I'll send Xeroxes to the DST.
What's in there?
A Tokarev.
A Vzor, M50.
Are you scared?
Why are you scared?
Weapons are meant to be touched...
...and treated gently.
Touch it.
A grenade.
You didn't learn this in Venezuela!
What's so funny?
You.
Why?
You and women...
You and guns.
That makes you laugh?
Weapons are an extension of my body.
Like my arms.
I learned that at training camp in the Bekaa Plain.
What else?
I also learned that...
to kill, you have to act fast.
and aim straight at the nose.
Go get me cigarettes.
Please.
You took a direct flight.
- One lay-over is the rule. - It would have changed nothing.
Says who?
There's something you should know.
- Someone gave my name. - Who?
I don't know.
Mossad.
What's this bullshit?
The Mossad ID'd you?
Why did they let you go?
I said I was a middleman.
They didn't buy it.
They have nothing.
Some fake passports.
Where are the documents?
Here, with me.
We have to put them in a safe place.
They don't know you. You'll do it.
I have a safety deposit box.
I'll erase our traces
in Geneva and in London.
André disappeared.
Is he in Lebanon?
- Maybe he's hiding. - Exactly.
What crap.
He's getting worse and worse.
- Don't overdo it. - I'm not, Nydia.
He's irresponsible!
- You never complained before. - I was dumb!
But I warned them about him.
This asshole's dangerous. I've said it for a while.
Your weapons will be in Frankfurt tonight.
Okay.
Kauffmann knows you.
So go to him in Brest and get everything you can.
And put in a safe place in Germany. Okay?
In case anything goes wrong...
You have this.
If you get cornered by police,
just tell that them you're helping comrades in Spain.
Just give a call here in France.
Okay.
Police!
Know him?
I've never seen him.
He was at your place. He had your keys.
A German lawyer. He does favors for comrades.
He's a good guy.
No reason to make trouble for him.
Find anything on the German?
Just the fake passport.
Says he's helping anti-Franco militants.
We'll deport him after the interrogation.
- And the Lebanese? - The hearing is on Monday.
I want to finish tonight. I'm seeing my family this weekend.
Give me a sec.
Is this Nourredine?
Let's go.
Don't say you don't know him.
It's not Nourredine.
Who is it?
A vague acquaintance.
A Peruvian playboy.
We go out drinking.
His name.
Carlos Martínez.
Who are they?
Where can we find this Carlos Martínez?
I just know his girlfriend.
A Venezuelan student.
Anselma Lopez.
Does he live with her?
I'm not sure.
Her address.
9 Rue Toullier. Near Boulevard St. Michel.
We'll check it out now.
I found him!
You see, Edgar is bourgeois. He talks about revolution,
but all he cares about is studying international law.
He wants to be a corporate lawyer.
It makes me want to puke!
Why not leave him?
It's not easy. We're married.
Get divorced.
I can't. I have no money. I'd need a lawyer,
papers, and lots more.
Stay with him.
What is it?
Looks Like cops to me. What do I do?
Go on, Leyma... Nice and easy.
Give me that.
Problem?
None. Is Anselma Lopez here?
She went to Venezuela two weeks ago.
Any more questions?
Can we come in?
- Hello. - Hello.
Join us for a nightcap?
No, but I'll look at your passports.
Of course.
You're Carlos Martínez?
You know a Lebanese named Michel Moukharbal?
I don't know any Arabs.
He knows you. He gave us this address.
Strange. I hate Arabs.
But you have a Lebanese visa.
Several trips to Beirut.
I can travel, can't I?
This doesn't look familiar?
Should it?
Who is he?
I don't know.
- Not you? - Not me.
Looks Like you.
For you, all Latinos look alike.
Don't be a wise ass!
Don't speak to me Like that!
I'll call my embassy. They know my father!
- So this isn't you? - No, it's not!
What did he do?
We don't have to say.
Where is he?
In a car downstairs.
Go get him.
We'll see if he knows me.
Get him.
Are you sure you won't have a whiskey?
Just a drop.
You don't hide your opinions.
We're internationalist militants.
Non-violent.
And you?
Your opinions?
No political opinions.
But you're a cop.
I protect honest citizens.
DST... DST...
Do you know him?
I've never seen him.
And you?
It's him.
The man in the picture.
I gave my attaché case to him.
Hey. What are you doing here.
Hey.
- You heard the news? - No.
- Do you speak English? - No.
Okay, let's go there.
I killed three policemen and an Arab shit who betrayed me.
I'll kill anyone who betrays me.
I need you to do something for me.
Write to Selma and tell her to stay in Venezuela.
Nothing will happen to her if she stays there.
I'm going into hiding for a while,then I'll be back.
You have changed.
- Activity doesn't suit me. - So I see, are you an alcoholic now?
Are you the moral judge now?
I have the impression you are a judge.
With a pretty speedy rollings.
Who allowed you to execute Andre?
Andre was a traitor.
He got what he deserved.
He was working for the Jews of the Mossad.
Went right to the DST.
- He fingered me, he paid. - You have no proof of that.
If he really had fingered you those cops would have been armed
What?
He fingered me right before my eyes.
You should have seen him, the guy was scared shitless.
He was a coward all along. Not worthy not of your trust.
I decide who I trust!
I decide.
Who are you to talk to me like that?
Your job is to carry out my orders. To the letter.
I decide who lives and who dies. Not you.
I decide whether you must be eliminated or not.
I've always accepted the rule of the weapon...
But I rather die for the cause.
Sacrifice away!
You know that.
For me there's no going back.
It's taking off!
You have become a star for the western media.
The famous Carlos.
I would have preferred to carry out a spectacular operation.
I can give you a chance to do that.
You are intelligent, brave man but you lack discipline.
And you are not a cautious man.
You have to learn.
Come with me.
This is Khalid. You can't talk in front of him.
We're preparing a major operation.
And I want you to be in charge of it.
The new Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has decided
to smash the Kurdish Independence Movement.
He's preparing a war against Iran which supports them.
To do that he needs a great deal of money.
He wants to impose a 30% increase in the price of oil.
The Saudis would never agree?
That's why we've to get rid of their Oil Minister Sheikh Yamani.
With him out of the way, the other OPEC members will follow Saddam.
The next OPEC meeting is set for December in Vienna.
We'll take the ministers hostage under the cover of a Palestinian operation.
Only the members of the commando will know the true objective.
Should be?
Obtaining a plane, releasing ministers in their respective countries...
Where we'll read a declaration of solidarity with Palestinian cause.
But your mission will be to execute Sheikh Ahmed along with Jamshid Amuzegar.
The Iran Oil Minister.
Our final destination?
Baghdad.
There will be almost a confession.
Why stay back there?
Saddam Hussein gave me his word as a soldier.
He's scared of nothing and no one, unlike his predecessor al-Bakr.
And he has the full support from Col. Gaddafi from Libya.
Saddam heard about you.
He was impressed. He wants you to lead the commando.
You killed four men in Paris, he's trusting you to kill two others.
I'm flattered.
You should be. He really makes compliments.
And Khalid?
What'll be Khalid's job?
In Munich, the leader of the commando died during the attack.
The whole operation fell apart, Khalid will have my instructions.
If anything happens to you, he'll take over.
Until then this mission will be to get you into shape.
Look at you.
You are a wreck.
You have three months...
...to become a real soldier again.
Not a meal for the media.
We'll spend three weeks in the camp.
Training every day.
No liquor.
No cigarettes.
We'll make a new man of you.
There's a line.
- What happened? - I got held up.
We need well-trained fighters. We haven't much time.
Good thing we have our German comrades.
Enemies of your man?
They didn't have anything against him.
It was me who sent him to Brest place
to clean up the hide before the cops got there.
It was already too late.
The French cops had him for twenty-four hours and then let him go.
So they know him now?
And they're watching him.
You and Bonnie are too visible.
You won't be part of our operation.
Nada, she'll be us in Vienna.
I trained her myself.
A woman?
A German.
She'll go unnoticed.
Leftist student?
I'm a fighter like you.
I was in jail in West Germany for two years.
What for? Drug abuse?
No...
I shot a cop during a holdup. Unfortunately, I only wounded him.
The occupation of OPEC headquarters and taking hostage of the ministers
will be just a secondary objective for the whole operation.
This will get really serious after we take off from Vienna.
You will release each minister in his respective country
after we have read a pro-Palestinian statement.
What if one of them refuses?
He'll be executed. And then we'll take off to the next capital.
What if the attack fails? What if the hostages resist?
Anyone who resists will be executed.
Anyone who doesn't obey our orders immediately will be executed.
Anyone who panics will be executed.
Even if a member of the commando doesn't obey my orders or
doesn't follow the instructions outlined in advance will be executed.
But I'm not a killer. And I don't intend to become one.
Aren't you a soldier? A political militant?
We're talking about the minimum military requirement of any political struggle.
So its clear?
Yes...It is.
This is what you requested.
Look Hajji...like this... this and this.
Okay, Habibi?
This is the plan of the building...
The meeting room is on the second floor. This is the main staircase...
This is a sure way to the end of the block.
If you place the gunmen here, you'll control both entrances.
Then you are safe.
Our charge d'affaires, Riyadh al-Azzawi.
I'm honored to meet the famous Carlos...
I'm just another soldier for the cause.
Our leader, Saddam Hussein, talks about you, a great deal.
He says you're brave and cool-headed.
He says...
At the moment of truth you'll pull the trigger.
A man will arrive this morning along with that dog Amuzegar.
You'll act the day after tomorrow.
It's time. They're here.
Excuse me, is the conference still on?
- Yes, its upstairs. - Thank you
Stay down! Stay down!
Turn around. Turn around. Hands Up!
Inspector Janda here! Attack at OPEC!
Everybody down! Go!
I said don't move!
My name is Carlos.
You may have heard of me.
Turn around.
You a cop?
- Yes, I'm a cop. - Get in.
Get up! Get up!
Hey! Hang up the phone.
Hey!
Youssef! The explosives! Now!
Set them off only if I say so!
Understood?
Khalid!
Find Yamani?
Not yet.
Dr. Hernandez Acosta.
You can stand.
Venezuelan too.
And I appreciate the position of your Government. We're on the same side.
Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani, in the flesh...
Standup!
Search them all...
and confiscate any weapons.
You shut up!
Sit down!
Upstairs, quick! Go!
Fire! Fire in the hole!
Get out of here!
I'm wounded. Situation is under control.
One of the cops was hit,the others ran. Joseph is still in position.
Nothing to fear. Just sit here and keep an eye on the hostages. Okay?
Okay, listen up. The neutral countries in the back to the left.
Gabon, Nigeria, Equador, Venezuela...
In the back, on the left.
Indonesia...
Faster!
And now the friendly countries... in the back to the right.
Iraq, Libya, Kuwait and Algeria
The others... No talking!
The others are the enemies of our cause... this here.
Saudi Arabia in the center. Quick!
Move it!
The Emirates, Qatar.. quick and Iran.
I'll leave it here for a week.
You don't know what's inside.
There are terrorists.
Read it back to me...
To the Austrian authorities,
we have taken the OPEC conference delegates hostage..
We demand that the enclosed communique be read
on Austrian state radio and television within two hours
and then at regular intervals every two hours...
A bus with curtains will be provided to take us...
And its windows... Curtains and its windows.
A bus with curtains at its windows will be provided to take us to...
the Aner Airport tomorrow morning at seven o'clock.
Is there a doctor here? Is there a doctor here?
I'm doctor.
Come.
Examine this man.
Lay down please.
You can continue...
There a DC-9 with three crew will be waiting to take off to our destination...
Any delay, provocation or unauthorized attempts
to approach us will endanger the lives of our hostages.
Signed the armed wing of the Arab Revolution, Vienna. December 21, 1975.
This is the communique, you'll go out. You'll give this to the police...
along with the letter.
Joseph...
It's a serious wound.
He needs to be operated immediately.
Its okay, its okay. I can take it...
Okay... they won't be able to identify you now.
I want to stay.
Take him to the police.
Do I have your word?
You do.
Don't move!
Are you a hostage?
My first name is Angie.
Come with me.
You're going to have to pay...
for Saudi Arabia's political decisions.
And you know whats the treatment served for traitors?
Death.
Now you pray?
You know what? I'm gonna be straight to you...
because you and I are men of the same caliber.
You and I know that if the Austrian government
doesn't respect our ultimatum...
I'll have no choice.
And with no hesitation,
I'll execute you personally
and throw your body out of the window.
The terrorists
have requested that the Libyan Ambassador mediate.
But he's in Prague.
The head of the commando shot a Libyan delegate.
It seems Gaddafi is furious.
The Iraqi chargé d'affaires has offered to take his place.
We have no choice.
We must buy time and save lives.
I informed all countries but they're at a standstill.
The PLO made a statement condemning the raid.
Only Algeria is willing to help us.
I must speak with President Boumedienne.
He's awaiting your call.
A group calling itself
the Armed Wing of the Arab Revolution
which is holding the OPEC ministers hostage,
has prepared a declaration in French.
Austrian radio will now broadcast
the full statement released
by the Armed Wing of the Arab Revolution
of December 21, 1975:
It is now clear for everyone
that the crucial Arab cause
concerning the Palestinian question
and subjected to its consequences
is the object of a major plot
aiming to legitimize
Zionist existence on our land...
You are in danger.
You and your manny.
Talk to him. Ask him what he wants? Money maybe.
- I don't think that's what he accepts. - Try.
Ask him how much he wants? Okay.
Give this to Chancellor Kriesky and let's deliver the hostages...
asking him to give me two of the men and let us slip out of Austria.
Maybe he understands its the only way to avoid a bloodbath.
Algeria has offered to receive you.
What do the Jews have to do with this?
They went through Boumedienne from their mediation...with the Saudis for example.
I said very clearly that I wanted to go to Baghdad.
From Algeria it will be easier to reach Baghdad or Aden.
And so, complete your mission.
If I wanted to make a stop, I would have preferred Tripoli not Algiers.
In that case... you shouldn't kill a member of the Libyan implications.
He attacked me.
One more thing...
The sandwiches they brought... they have ham. They don't want them.
I'll take care of it.
Excuse me.
I'm not Muslim and I'm famished.
Don't you think...
what the revolution needs
is money and not corpses?
What are you saying?
Your hostages are more valuable alive than dead.
Know what, Dr.Hernandez?
Let me be clear.
I'm very well paid.
I have nothing to gain by sparing these dogs.
Understood?
Enjoy your sandwich.
In exchange for the release of all OPEC employees
residing in Austria,
and not only the Austrian citizens, currently held by the terrorists,
the commando will be supplied with a DC-9.
Their destination?
Algiers.
President Boumedienne has generously offered to mediate
in hope
of bringing this to a close and saving human lives.
We extend our thanks to him.
Open the door! Open Get out!
Move! Move! Cmon!
He's in an ambulance.
On his way to the airport.
We will not leave
until he's on board. Understood?
Kriesky has kept his word. Of course...
If we'd asked for a belly-dance, he'd have done it.
Nada! Nada!
See! I kept my word too... Those hostages are free!
May the cause win!
Let's go! Move! Move!
My name is Carlos, I'll be giving you instructions.
Ok Carlos. I'm the Capt. Manfred Pollick, this is Michael Wallis.
Good.
First we're going to Algiers for a brief stopover and then we're going to Baghdad.
That's impossible.
Why?
It's too far.
Well... we'll refuel in Algiers.
It won't be any good. This plane doesn't have the range for it.
What do you mean? I asked for a DC-9.
This is a DC-9 but I can't fly to Baghdad, even from Algiers its too far.
I told you, his life is in danger.
We'll have an ambulance waiting in Algiers.
If he lasts that long.
How long will we stay in Algeria?
No more than two hours.
We'll read our communique.
and may free some hostages in return.
You know, my intuition tells me that you're having problems with the Libyans.
Right?
Wrong.
Control tower.
They want to talk to you.
They say we're authorized to land.
And to use the President's spot.
Excellent. Tell them we're very honored.
The Foreign Secretary, Abdelaziz Bouteflika,
will negotiate the hostages' release.
Nothing to negotiate.
We free who we have to,
we refuel and we leave.
What's wrong?
The Algerians lied to us.
They want the liberation of all the hostages.
Those bastards!
They want to please the Saudis.
They have given us their word and they have to keep it.
We're about to land in Algiers...
Lower your blinds and don't open them for any reason.
It'll be a brief stop over. You'll move only if we order you to.
Keep away! Keep away!
We told you nobody move!
If you don't take him to the hospital right now...
I refuse to take any responsibility.
He wants to free everybody
They're talking to the Saudis to obtain a ransom for Yamani...
A lot of money.
We have to leave here immediately...
Let's go to Tripoli.
We've to release the non-Arab hostages...
We've to give them something..
Otherwise they won't let us take off.
We'll have nothing to bargain with in Libya then...
It's a trap...
We have no choice.
Carlos... would you really have killed me?
I'd have saved you for last.
Col. Gaddafi says we're not wanted in Libya...
We've been circling Tripoli for an hour now, tell them...
that we're running out of fuel. We have to land, we have no choice
Listen to me.
And listen good.
We're out of fuel. If we don't land...
the safety of the hostages will be at risk.
The safety of the hostages will be at risk.
- What are you doing? - Control tower refuses to...
allow me to approach... Why are we not moving? What?
I cannot move because they they won't let me...
to park at a terminal. Move it! Move it!
Don't tell me to... Move it! Move it!
I've been planning this operation for months! You understand for months!
Now these fucking Libyans are screwing everything up!
Do something!
Khalid!
Tower...
Your Excellency! I'm sorry but the Prime Minister...
has forbidden all contact with the terrorists.
We have to do something.
We refuse them permission to land, they landed anyway.
Too bad for them.
Try again!
There's no use. They're not answering.
Did you tell them they are threatening to execute the hostages?
I told you, they're not answering.
You have go ahead to communicate with them.
but no Libyan official will speak with them.
We want nothing to do with these criminals
I'm the Austrian Ambassador...
I have an important message from my government...
He says that the Austrian government demands the return of the DC-9.
They say the plane was supposed to take us to Algiers... no further.
Then tell him we are only returning the plane if the Libyans
provide us with a long haul jet to take us to Baghdad.
The Libyans want nothing to do with it.
They drive us to the end of that runway.
They demand we free their minister and leave.
- To go where? - They don't give a damn!
You told me that they would help us.
The situation has changed. You killed one of their men!
You released all the neutral hostages in Algiers.
We've nothing to bargain with here!
We fill the tanks and leave!
Tunis is refusing us permission to land.
Tell them, we'll land anyway.
They said if you insist they'll turn off their runway lights...
and are serious about it. Say they have fuel to reach Algiers
Thats all.
We're going back to Algiers.
I didn't expect to see you again so soon.
I'm sorry to get you out of bed so late.
So things didn't go as planned in Tripoli.
The Libyans betrayed our cause.
I don't think your cause is ours.
- Want one? - No, thank you.
Castro's personal reserve.
Our pilot is exhausted.
And the plane cannot reach our destination.
Give us a long-haul plane and we're out of your lives.
The Saudis are our allies. The Iranians too.
We cannot put their minister's lives in danger.
You put them in danger by refusing our conditions.
If things go wrong,
your life and those of your men are at stake.
Touch one hair on Yamani's head
on our soil...
and you're all dead. Clear enough?
Be realistic.
The Saudis are too powerful.
Not one country would risk helping you.
You won't go to Baghdad.
What has Tunisia offered? Nothing.
What has Libya offered? Nothing.
I offer an honorable way out
that can even come off as victory.
Yesterday I mentioned a certain sum.
I'm sure the Saudis would double it.
Can your cause, whatever it is,
afford to spit on $20 million?
What guarantee?
Algeria's word.
You proved it worthless.
Then that of the Bank of Algeria.
If you agree,
we'll open an account in the name of your group.
The money will be wired within hours.
My group must not be named.
In your name, then.
Work it out with Mr. Haddad.
We know him well.
He's discreet, wary of needless publicity.
But definitely not indifferent to money.
I have to make a choice... A very difficult one.
Like you, I'm a democrat.
So we'll discuss your fate with our comrades...
and they they'll inform you of our verdict.
You may go and rest You need it.
I asked for a long haul plane and the answer is no
What are they offering?
Just from the plane, forgiving and they are very serious about it.
Yamani and Amuzegar must die. They'll die with us.
The Algerians have doubled the offer.
They are offering $20 million for the lives of the hostages...
They're setting us. Revolutionaries not bandits
Revolution needs a life...
I killed two men, I didn't do for money.
What do you want then? A bloodbath?
Yes!
That would be a failure for us and the cause
I will not fear failure to shame!
I swore to make success of our mission...
I gave my word.
I weighed already the pros and cons of entire situation...
this is the best thing to do.
The organization needs the money
and it needs us alive to continue the fight.
The Algerians are gonna give us political asylum and also...
and bed us in the mountains. In two weeks we'll be back in the front.
You fear for your life! I do not!
How you dare to talk to me like that?
I organized the entire operation and I put you in!
But I'm a soldier, I'm not a martyr!
- You're a traitor nothing else! - I'm not a traitor!
Don't you ever touch me then!
We have to go to Baghdad!
Open your eyes there's no way to go to Baghdad!
And I gave my decision and its final!
You'll be freed mid-day. Why not right away?
If you release us now, you'll sleep better. So will we.
It's very kind of you, don't worry about my sleep...
Turn off the lights, lower the blinds. You'll be able to sleep.
You're no longer in danger.
Fuck you Carlos! Fuck you!
I'm glad to see you alive.
I know what we owe the Algerian government.
I'm glad we could help avoid the worst.
But I was scared.
Ah! Khalid! Settle down.
Come over!
Hello. How's life in the camp?
Life in the camp? It's alright. It's alright.
You know we don't get anything to eat and...
I don't know.
But its okay, I want to stay with the fighters.
The men are at the camp to trained to become fighters.
If they are unhappy they can tell me.
They're afraid of you.
Soldiers must hear the leader.
Really?
I don't think so!
Angie, shut up in front of Haddad.
You know I'm right.
We need his support and his money.
Be strategic for once.
I thought you were soldier in our cause.
I am.
Soldiers obey orders...
and sacrifice themselves.
Soldiers dont negotiate with their hostages.
Soldiers don't take initiatives.
I took them for the good of the organization.
What you know of good of the organization?
I know what you tell me.
You think I tell you everything?
Who are you? Just like anyone else.
You know what.
That's all.
Who you think you are?
I'm the military commander of a risky operation,
Who took the decisions called for based on what I knew...
And not on what I didn't know.
You took the Saudis money rather than carry out your mission.
You betrayed us! And you will pay the price.
What price?
I'll tell you my verdict...
until then you're not allowed to leave Aden.
Hey... I thought Nada was with you.
She left! She said she'll be more useful in Europe
with her comrades from the June 2nd movement.
Good riddance!
We were with Wadie Hadad...
with his verdict ?
He hasn't made up his mind yet. But I don't think he'll forgive you.
He wants to launch a new operation.
He says he has to erase the failure of the previous one.
Am I in?
He wants me out.
I..
I'm in charge of the mission, Bridgette will back me up.
Anton we'll take care of the logistics.
The security checks on El Al are too strict. We've choosen an Air France flight.
We'll be doing it soon.
Is he upset?
You see we're supposed to be ready for anything.
Are you okay?
I've come to tell you of my decision...
I know you trusted the new operation to Bonnie.
And to Anton.
They're not as good as I am.
Yes... Yes I know.
But they obey.
And you, you are no longer part of my group.
That is your decision?
Yes.
I've done a great deal for the Palestinian cause..
You've done a great deal for your own cause...
You're famous now... a big star...
Celebrities are never keen on obeying orders...
You need me, my name is feared.
Your partners will pay a good price to use it.
I don't need celebrities in my group...
However you didn't speed on the ransom for Yamani and Amuzegar
$20 million is a lot of money that I negotiated...
because the revolution needed it.
No revolution with that money!
I'm spitting on it now.
You let yourself be blinded by the Saudis money...
Want million of dollars?
You just need to bend down to pick it up.
Oil money is all around.
$20 million? And the credibility of our organization...
How much is it worth to you?
You want to talk about money?
You know how much Libya and Iraqi states pays me?
You know how much it cost to setup that operation?
Do you understand politics stakes that is to take once? The risks ...
were taken at the highest level of the state involved...
and $20 million ? I thought you had some sense of politics!
Some sense!
But you are just an executor and not even a very good one!
You need men like me...
to mount an operation like the one in Vienna...
You judge? Ofcourse you watch it on TV.
You really want to setup a spectacular operation?
Let me handle it.
Let me handle it because...
you and I know that neither Anton nor Bonnie are up to it.
It's over.
I don't trust you anymore.
Carlos!
This decision will stay between you and me...
There is no need to tell anyone about it.
And tell me...
what do you plan to do now?
I'll set up an organization...
Where?
The Middle East?
Why not?
There is lot of competition...
Try Latin America... I think it is better for you!
An incredible operation by Israeli Defense Forces
at the Entebbe Airport in Uganda.
Just before midnight, three Israeli aircraft
containing parachutists and soldiers
landed on the airstrip where pro-Palestinian militants
held the 105 passengers and crew
of the Air France Airbus hijacked last week.
The surprise attack lasted only an hour.
In Entebbe, Israeli forces
reportedly killed the entire pro-Palestinian commando.
The stand of two of the hijackers were so confident that they...
were caught without the magazines and their automatic weapons...
but its being suggested here that the passports...
Press was always there... lucky it was not.
We would have avoided that mess.
No way!
The Israelis are good.Their plan was though out and perfectly executed.
They left no chance.
They got what they deserved.
They shouldn't have separated the Jews from the others.
Do as per the instructions.
The Germans of our generation were ready again to execute Jews
because of their race.
That makes me sick.
They give their life for a cause...
You should respect that.
That's not a revolution.
Who are you meeting?
That guy, Michel.
Michael is Carlos, right? I don't know.
You know the rules.
No questions asked. Okay?
Can we talk here? Yeah...this place is bugged.
How do you know?
The Stasi.
Do you work for them?
I have my contacts.
and that can always be useful, right?
It can also be useful for them.
Can I have a whisky please?
Bonnie is worm!
I'm designating you as the new head of the revolutionary cells.
What is left of them.
Meaning?
Not a lot.
I can help you with that.
How?
Interchanging, Haddad is very sick.
and he is finished.
Too many mistakes, too many failures.
Nobody trusts him anymore. Its time to move on.
- You'll work for my support. - Algeria?
No.
I have new allies.
Allies with money.
Who can pay and pay well
I need men
I would like you to be one of them
- Without a doubt? - Yes
We can't have Haddad forget Haddad.
He sends $3000 a month to the revolutionary cells...
Haddad? Works for Baghdad.
What I'm proposing you is work with Baghdad.
Directly with the Iraqis.
No middlemen, no intermediary nothing
But you know our network has almost been wiped out
We're not able to operate.
No...we'll have to rebuild it.
Most of us are in jail or dead.
I mean we've even lost Angie.
He has gone over to the 2nd June movement you know...
And Nada has been...
I dont wanna know anthing about Nada.
She's crazy bitch! She's dangerous.
But Angie is good element, do you think you can find him?
I can try to find out.
Angie?
Anyone home?
Who brought you here?
Don't panic. I'm all alone.
Why shouldn't I panic?
No one knows I'm here.
Right, no one...
except your friends.
Aren't I still a friend?
I don't know. It depends.
Carlos is leaving Haddad.
Haddad fired him.
Baghdad has a new government.
They need us.
They're willing to pay. And very well.
Iraqi money doesn't interest me.
I joined the armed struggle to attack the capitalist system.
Not to spread terror.
Understand?
Not to be hired by the PFLP or Baghdad.
The PFLP has been very generous with us.
They help our struggle. We help theirs.
You can keep believing that crap.
I'm through.
I won't go to Aden.
I'm not at war and I'll receive orders from no one.
You know too much.
Names.
Places.
Secrets.
You could endanger the whole network.
I know how it works.
I'll stay hidden until I'm forgotten.
I doubt Wadie Haddad would risk it.
He'll have you killed. If that's my fate...
You're as good as dead.
I'm no rat.
I know.
But cops have sophisticated methods.
Torture.
Drugs.
If they want you to talk,
you'll talk.
You say you're my friend.
I trust you.
But if Haddad says to, you'll kill me with no misgivings.
Right? That's why I'm no longer with you.
And it's why, once you leave, I'll disappear.
You'll never find me again.
Check this out.
Know what's inside?
My revolver.
And my resignation from the armed struggle.
Do you give names?
But I say what I know.
About plans to attack two Jewish community leaders.
If I shut up, I'll never forgive myself!
Bonnie...
Bonnie separated the Jews at Entebbe like in Auschwitz!
I'm an enemy of Zionism.
I've proved it.
But anti-Semitism: count me out.
I thought you were alone.
Run.
Anything to declare?
Open the trunk.
As you know, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
is a loyal ally of the Palestinian cause.
I've worked with some of you.
You know me as well.
The USSR is a fearsome enemy to those who betray its cause.
For them, there is but one sentence:
Death.
The Egyptian president, Anwar El Sadat,
has benefited from our generosity for many years.
He has bowed down before American imperialism...
and has become the man servant of the Zionists
who occupy your holiest lands.
Bear in mind, gentlemen,
whoever carries out the aforementioned sentence
will benefit from our unlimited financial support.
$4 million? Its a lot of money.
I'm not in the business of commenting for the Arab leaders.
What about you?
What business are you in?
I'm in the same business as you.
- Really? - Yeah.
There are no many kinds like I've told you before...
you'll have trouble finding your place.
Don't you worry about me.
Let's hope for the best.
I hear you're starting your own group?
Maybe.
The Faudiya is no longer around. They turn to you...
Why? I'm not an Arab.
Think of me... Maybe I could help.
There's a woman waiting for you.
Thank you.
Johannes Weinrich sent me. He is your husband?
He's my boyfriend.
He said so that you would see me and you would judge me...
Am I disturbing you?
I brought wine...
Isn't alcohol banned here?
Not if you have the right friends.
Looks like you have very good friends in Baghdad...
I've done some favors around.
You have anything against Algerian wine?
As long as its red.
Your friend Weinrich says you are an excellent forger.
Its true I've never had any complaints of forged papers of mine.
It's a precious talent.
You carry on doing that for us.
I like to make myself useful in a more active manner.
I'm not afraid of danger.
I don't trust women...
they never know how to keep their heads.
- So you are not afraid of cliches? - No I'm not.
because there's always some twist in them.
Specially concerning German feminists.
Hmm...I confess. I'm a German feminist...
- Disappointed? - Yes very much.
I left my little daughter behind.
I did it to develop myself to the anti-imperialist struggle.
And I've also learnt how to use weapons...
Correctly!
Tokarev...
This is a useless weapon.
Who gave it to you?
The Stasi?
I've no contact with the Stasi.
You were their informers...
in return they provide you with logistic support...
Weinrich's told me everything.
- You bluffing? - No.
Your code names...
Heinrich... Schmhild Schneider...
I tend to be very wary of the men and women who approach me.
You know why? Look at me...
because there is a high price on my head.
For me it's a matter of life or death.
For you its still a game...
A game?
Yes. A game. You travel around the world...
crossing borders with fake passports...
You carry a gun. You brush yourself against danger without really touching it....
but if you join my group, it'll be your life...
On the line.
If operations are worth it,
No!Because its not you who judges whether an operation is worth it or not.
You'll obey orders with no discussion
And who'll give these orders?
I'll give the orders.
Me and only me.
That's the rule.
Revolutionary discipline...
are you ready to submit to it unconditionally?
Yes.
You will inform me of all contacts with the Stasi...
Make no copies, nothing on me.
- You have both. - Do I?
Yes.
You are used to making women drunk aren't you?
It was quick. Leukemia kills quickly.
So does poison.
He's dead.
Peace on his ashes.
He was a dog.
They say that your Iraqi friends may have played the part in his death.
The Iraqis are not my friends.
When I worked for them... had a free rein
with this it's different.
I've a better offer for you.
I'm talking about the Syrians...
The Syrians tried to capture me once...
and had they caught me we wouldn't be having this conversation
Things have changed.
Their enemy was Wadia.
Now their interest is getting their hands on his international network.
They need you.
What are they offering in return?
Money...support, diplomatic cover.
On what level?
The best...
Been waiting for three days.
If you want to work with the Syrians get used to the Syrian way.
Aren't you comfortable over here?
I hope I'm not wasting my time here.
Trust me.
The General is waiting.
Well my friend Ali tells me we're going to work together
Why not choose other members of the Haddad group?
In the Middle East, we don't need anyone.
Our services are the best.
What interests us is Europe. For what reason?
Look at how self respected from our European counterparts...
they intervene in the Middle East,
one day we should be able to intervene in their countries too.
if necessary.
We have about forty men in five countries...
And the revolutionary cell network is still operational.
We just need to set up bases.
In Berlin, Budapest and Bucharest...
and from there we'll be able to operate
But we need weapons and money.
You'll get that!
We'll also need to be able to ship weapons.
You'll do it under Syrian diplomatic cover.
The shipments will go via Moscow...
they'll be stocked at our Embassy in East Berlin.
and we need an agreement with the KGB and the Stasi.
Don't worry about that! You are under our protection now.
I'm sure you can realize that they cannot receive you in this setting...
given the current situation.
Things have changed.
And we need to be careful.
We're expecting General Khouly.
The General is too involved in our formal alliances.
He has had to take a step back.
He has been entrusted with new responsibilities.
Is Syria changing sides?
There isn't a socialist block anymore Mr. Ilich Ramirez Sanchez. The Cold War is over.
The world is changing.
Syria has to find her place in the new world order.
Meaning?
We can no longer run the risk of sheltering you.
You are too visible and its too dangerous.
You must leave Syria.
As for me you'll understand why I don't wish to be seen in your company.
If you haven't left Syria within a week, I'm no longer be able to guarantee your safety
Its George Bush!
Its George Bush himself asking for my deportation...
in exchange to normalize relation with Syria.
George Bush doesn't give a damn...
The Mossad doesn't give a damn, no one is interested in us anymore.
No one!
You know what the CIA is saying about you?
That you're a historical curiosity, a communist whine-bag...
who is of no use for the Arab leaders anymore.
The French would pay a high price for me...
Stop lying to yourself....
if they were going to take you out, they would have done it by now.
Mitterand has never given the go ahead...
He with the crown would have told you.
The war is over...
and we have lost.
What?
Don't touch me.
I've come to inform you the decision of Col. Gaddafi...
he considers your presence in Libya undesirable.
I'm asking you is a modest favor of a person who has come for help.
I don't know what you are talking about...
your bags are already on a plane leaving to Damascus.
I heard he has been more generous to Abu Nissar, hmm...
he's in Tripoli without even hiding.
Lets go split by our enemies.
I'm sick of it. I have had enough of this life.
I...I can't raise a child under these conditions.
it's...it's impossible.
What did you expect?
The other day you killed one of your men, a so-called friend, you killed him from behind
You shot him at back of his head!
You are an animal. He was in the next room.
Is that your war?
I don't have to explain myself to you...
If you are with me you have to follow me.
and stay silent.
If you don't agree with what I do...you can leave.
That's exactly what I'm going to do...
thought about it for two years now.
Anyway...I don't think you gonna miss me much.
I'll miss my daughter.
Your daughter deserves to live like any other kid her age...
at least you don't have to hide anymore.
You can show yourself.
You must really think I'm stupid?
I was able to obtain an asylum here in Khartoum...
thanks to the Islamic Republic of Iran,
Your revolution is a great hope for all anti-imperialist fighters in the world.
Sudan is our ally. Its government agreed to do us this favor.
You are safe here.
You know Islam is my religion as well of that of my new wife.
We married according to its rites.
You don't owe us anything but when the time comes we'll give...
you a chance to act in the name of the Islamic revolution.
I'll be more than honored to contribute with some of my modest skills.
The theory of guerilla warfare developed by T.E.Lawrence...
You know as Lawrence of Arabia is analyzed by every military...
command in the world right now. Listen to this...
They're more powerful than pirates, the more its forces are grouped together...
in expectations of a decisive battle the more vulnerable its communication network is.
Meaning that instead of striking the head, it's the nervous system
the one has to be attacked,
the one that has to be the last.
Because by choosing your on terrain and not the one where your enemy expects you.
you will end up inevitably winning.
I know it will be hard.
but I never expected it to be sort off.
In Damascus I mean, in Amman I..
I still have a chance of getting letters from my daughter.
But here I...
I don't even have news of her,you know?
You gave your ring to your work I know I know, the ring I gave...
is my word!
I know that no one can't know. My Danie can't know, my family can't know...
my brothers can't know nobody can know!
Well it's for your own good!
I'll have to live in the fear of waking up one day and finding some killer...
on our stairs! How do you think it will end?
How do you expect it to end?
It is my destiny Elena.
Please sit down...
Our laws as you know forbid prostitution...
however a guard has reported you to state security,
which proves prostitution offers you certain advantages.
She claimed you didn't have the Yemeni accent Mr. Abdullah Barakat.
Here we know too well that your true name and nationality are different.
You know what we call you?
A Phantom.
You know the character who has been but no longer is...
it also refers to the discretion that we expect from you...
for your own good...
in the respect of our religion.
Don't you worry about me.
I thank you.
But I imagine if that I have the privilege of finally meeting Sheikh Al-Turabi...
because you also expect something from me.
Do you still have your address book...Mr. Abdullah Barakat?
Perhaps.
We need weapons.
I heard you have certain experience in Arms trade.
I can't refuse anything to my hosts.
Please would you follow me...I'll examine you.
Please sit down and take off your trousers...
I'll also workout according to your test results...
Your sperm count is far too low.
Okay..unbutton it, I'll examine and see what is going on.
- For this do you feel anything? - No...
- What about here? - Could be, yeah.
Yeah, a bit more.
- Yeah. - And here?
- Ah. Yeah, - Here?
Your right testicle, as you can see, is a bit bloated...
I have to shape it so that the veins in the sperm count would have multiplied.
Okay? And a bit dilated, that's why you are having this problem.
But don't worry, sensitivity is still in benign condition.
we'll see about this. Would you please put back your trousers.
Your condition is called varicocele. It will take a minor surgery to control that.
Can it wait a few weeks?
Because things I have, I want to have it for another... for another surgery.
- What kind of surgery? - Liposuction.
He thinks he's too fat.
Have a good trip? Excellent.
Where did you get this footage?
Egyptian intelligence passed it down to us.
Well, the Egyptians dumped him,the Sudanese won't last much longer.
We lifted his prints from a glass and compared it with those what the police had.
Same man!
The man from Tu-dudiye.
Legally, there's nothing the CIA can do...
Carlos is not involved in any operations against American citizens...
but you, on the other hand can act. He shot two of your agents.
I proposed the authorities deny the encounter.
Show him the tape...
Nothing proves that this footage was shot in Sudan.
He won't be much longer.
What kind of surgery?
Plastic. Liposuction.
For his love handles.
We know him, but not by name.
Our services call him the phantom.
Now you can put a name on him.
That of a murderer.
There's a warrant out for him.
He killed two of our men.
and committed attacks all over Europe.
He must be judged in France.
There was a German at the Mercedes dealership today...
and he asked me some very odd questions...
What's the price on our heads?
The price on mine or the price on yours?
Don't feel safe here anymore.
- And..I'm leaving for Yemen tomorrow. - They'll find you in Yemen.
Wherever you go, they'll find you.
No..the only question is when.
They'll not find me, I'm telling you!
Our death sentence has been signed.
Our services have received a warning, a plot is underway against you...
for your own safety you'll be transferred to a military hospital immediately...
You can't go home.
Too risky. Your enemies have your address.
How?
The Syrians never forgave you for cutting off contact.
Sold me to the U.S.?
Maybe.
You're protected by our guide, Hassan Al-Turabi.
You'll stay near his residence.
His guards will watch over you.
- Are you feeling better? - No.
I won't be needing anymore morphine.
Abdomen is killing me!
Can you lower your pajamas?
You have any news?
How long are we staying here?
Probably several days.
We have no information. It's a state secret.
It's in the hands of the National Islamic Front.
Go to the room,pack a few things. A small bag and come back.
And here?
Are we going to Syria? No we're going to France.
