Your attention, please.
Passengers for flight 8207,
you may board now at gate four.
I am Michael J. Lander,
Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy.
I was... captured on February 10, 1967,
while firebombing a civilian hospital
near Ninh Binh.
I... am guilty of my war crimes,
and although I'm guilty of my war crimes,
the Democratic Republic of Vietnam hasn't punished me.
They have, uh, showed me the suffering
that I have caused by my crimes.
I'm sorry for what I've done.
I am sorry that we killed children...
...and I call upon the American people
to stop the war.
The Democratic Republic of Vietnam has no animosity...
...toward the American people.
It's the warmongers who are making the war.
What about Vietnam?
Forgive me.
Well, Dahlia was, uh...
was concerned about security.
No.
I was concerned at the lack of trust.
I know 100 times more about that man
than any piece of film.
I want that film destroyed.
Enough.
As for the man Lander, you will have to take my word.
He lives for it.
After all, it was he who approached us.
Are you convinced about him?
Can you control him?
To a degree.
To the degree you can control your child.
A brilliant child... he doubts,
or he is dangerous.
He reminds me of you sometimes, Nageeb.
Don't bring personalities into this discussion, Dahlia.
Why not?
It's our personality
which projects the image of our cause.
That's enough.
Now, tell him what projectiles
the American is planning to use, and how many.
220,000 steel rifle dots.
Rifle dots.
Interesting.
With initial velocity of 600 meters per second.
That's right.
Striking where it hurts them most.
Where they feel most at home.
Dahlia, I think Nagawa would like to get down
to technical requirements.
No. Please.
Go on.
Go on, comrade.
We are going to make a broadcast to the world on that day
which you are going to let me record tomorrow.
I shall give the American people their state of the nation.
We accomplished everything we set out to do.
It has been very fruitful for me.
Adieu.
Before I leave,
I have two questions to ask of you.
This American of yours...
are you certain he is able to get all the rifle dots?
Absolutely.
Good.
My Japanese comrades would have had a difficult time
manufacturing that quantity
and meet your January 9 deadline.
However, for the rest...
rely upon me.
You'll have it within ten days.
Now, for my second question.
Why will the American do this?
I can tell you only that he will.
What is to stop him from weakening,
giving you over to the police?
Me.
I'm there to stop him.
He depends upon me completely.
Nageeb...
I am going to make that recording now.
The American people have remained deaf
to all of the cries of the Palestinian nation.
People of America,
this situation is unbearable for us.
From now on, you will share our suffering.
The choice is yours.
Shalom aleichem.
In the van.
The van.
He's dead!
Leave him!
The film! You must get it!
- It burned. - The tape!
- Tape?! - I made the tape tonight, Fasil.
It was good, Major.
The Los Angeles Rams remind you
that tickets for the next three Ram home games
are available here at the Coliseum
at Tunnels 11 and 19.
Third down and four for Los Angeles
on the 49er 45-yard line.
Harris's pass, intended for Jackson, was incomplete.
However, there is a penalty on the 49ers: Offsides.
It'll be first down, Rams.
Hey, Mike, he wants us over the west side of the field.
Did you get that, Mike?
Sure he got it!
What the hell they think
we're riding up here, rails?
Yes, well, we're trying for...
Hey, Mike!
I'm getting a lot of heat from down there.
Can't you push it a little?
Will you tell him we're bucking a 25-knot wind up here?!
He says we've blown the shot, Mike.
Oh, man, is he pissed off.
Well... why don't you tell him to try pissing off
into this 25-knot wind we got up here?
Charles, my boy, I sure did the best I could.
Okay, thanks, Mike.
Take care, Mike.
The network wants to know what the hell happened up there.
Listen, nobody but Mike
would even take it up in this kind of wind.
God sakes, this man flies
the hurricane watches, you know that.
Yeah, and if Goodyear complains
to your pilots' association,
that's all he's going to be flying.
- Good evening, sir. - Good evening.
May I take your coat?
- Thank you. - Yes, sir.
Good evening, gentlemen.
Sam Corley, FBI.
Pleasure.
- Ambassador. - How nice to see you.
The American people
have remained deaf to all the cries of the Palestinian nation.
But if a foreign people
took over the states of Virginia, Georgia and New Jersey
and forced the people of those states
to leave their homes and lands,
would they not feel bitter and betrayed?
Therefore, understand how we feel.
People of America,
this situation is unbearable for us.
Until you understand that
and stop helping the Israelis with arms and money,
we of the Black September movement
will make it unbearable for you.
From now on, you will share our suffering.
Today's horror is nothing to what will happen
unless your government acts now.
We have begun the year for you with bloodshed.
I shall not rejoice over my part in this action
and we hope it will not have to continue.
We want to be your brothers.
The choice is yours.
Shalom aleichem.
Major Kabakov?
This tape is not a threat.
It is to be used after the attack.
Probably January.
The quote:
"We have begun the year for you with bloodshed."
Any chance that your raid destroyed the plot,
as well as uncovering it?
No, sir. She's still alive.
Huh. Presumably scared as hell.
Black September does not scare.
You either kill or you get killed.
She was not killed because I did not kill her.
Of course I should.
Michael?
Just hold it right there.
Don't you move a step.
Turn the light on.
You're three days late.
Why?
What were you trying to do, set me up? Huh?
It's gonna take me ten seconds to find it out.
Now, you start very slowly
and you tell me what the hell happened.
Please.
Michael.
All is well.
All is normal.
Then what went wrong?
Nothing went wrong.
Nothing?
Nothing?!
Why didn't you telephone, then?
Why didn't you put yourself in my place
for five goddamn seconds, and call me up?
You could've done that.
I been here for three days!
Don't you understand that? Waiting for you!
You know me well enough to know what that can do to me.
Look at me!
Michael...
there were reasons.
Please, listen.
Everything is arranged.
Everything is perfect.
I can show you.
Don't...
Look.
Look what I brought for you.
All the way
from Beirut.
What is it?
It better be a goddamn plastic explosive.
You're mighty lucky that's what it is.
That's the same stuff the Cong was using.
It's more powerful than ours but not as stable.
It doesn't matter.
I mean, is this the only thing you got?
Where the hell's the rest of it?
This isn't going to do it.
On its way.
How much?
How much did you ask for? 500 kilos?
As a minimum, yeah.
600 kilos will be coming
in a week.
How?
By ship.
From Hong Kong.
Into Long Beach Harbor.
No record of her in Beirut
either before or after the raids.
An analysis of her voice by our experts
concludes she probably learned English
either in Switzerland or Germany,
and spent the last year with Americans
or in the United States itself.
I'll put our Lebanon people on it tonight.
You know, Sam, I really think the ball is more in your court
than in mine.
The Israeli government will, of course,
do everything to help.
Thanks, Mr. Ambassador, but...
until we get photos, dossiers, at least some background,
all we can do is put out a general alert
to Customs, lmmigration, Coast Guard,
based on the description you gave us.
Which was very inadequate, I must admit.
Well, that's all we have, that's all we can do, Major.
I think we have to accept that for now, Mr. Corley.
That's fantastic, Michael.
You didn't tell me you finished the mold.
Almost.
Want some coffee?
Oh.
What is this?
It's for the test.
Michael, do we need to make that test?
Absolutely. And I'm not going to discuss it with you again.
There's going to be a test.
When the stuff comes, I'll take my vacation...
come in here and work 16 hours a day.
How we going to know?
From the importer,
a Turk called Muzi.
He has been paid $100,000.
Michael,
you are supposed to be
at the rehabilitation center in two hours.
I know you hate going there but, if you don't,
they will send someone around here...
a caseworker... poking about.
You told me that.
Listen, they have only to make one bad report,
and it's no more flying, so please.
Michael.
How are you feeling today?
You mean, am I crazy today?
Oh, of course, I don't.
Liar.
I'm sorry, Dahlia.
I'll go.
And not only that,
I'll be good.
After all...
I was a hero.
Michael...
you don't have to kill them one at a time.
Hi.
My name's Lander.
I have an appointment with Mr. Pugh at 10:30.
Take a number.
Well, haven't you been here before?
Yes, I've been here before.
Well, take a number.
Twenty-three.
You're welcome.
I'll see you next month.
Forty-two.
Mr. Muzi?
Come in.
I have come about the shipment
of Madonna statues from Hong Kong.
Identification?
Kaza.
Fifty-two.
Ah, Captain Lander.
How are you?
Harold Pugh.
Sit down, Captain.
Let's see what we've got here.
I must say, you're looking well, Captain.
Thank you, sir.
Bounced back nicely, I'd say.
Well... tried.
Mm-hmm.
Good to be back with the family, I'm sure.
The family's fine, I understand.
Uh, they're not with you?
No, sir. Uh... I'm divorced.
I think you'll find it there in the folder.
Uh, you get to see the children, though.
No, sir.
I don't get to see my children.
But you have, uh, visitation rights.
Mr. Pugh, my children are very small.
They don't know much about my rights.
Uh, look, l-I'm sorry.
Uh, sit down, Captain, will you? Uh...
My predecessor, Gorman,
left very few notes, I'm afraid.
I'm, uh, curious as to why you resigned your commission.
To save the Navy distress.
Look at me, sir.
I, uh... look like an upstanding person, don't I?
You know that I was four times decorated?
Four times. It's right...
Yes, I read it. Very distinguished.
Well, you wouldn't think that a man...
a distinguished man like that...
would cause a big Navy like ours any distress, would you?
No.
Mr. Pugh, you'd be surprised.
Well, listen, let me get some of this down, um...
When were you divorced, Captain?
She filed...
one month after my release.
Don't be dismayed, sir.
The government did everything that they could.
Yes, I'm sure. Still, it must've been...
A Naval officer came around several times after my capture
and had tea with Margaret and counseled her...
and he told her that the life expectancy
of a released P O.W. Is about one-half the average.
He also told her about the high rate
of homosexuality and impotence among released P O.W. S,
and stressed the impotence.
Captain, that's, uh, standard procedure
- in the Navy. - I understand that, sir.
He felt he was doing his job.
He was preparing her for what it was
she was going to have to go through.
She was going to have to go through.
Sometimes it's better to let this out, you know.
I know, sir. But it's all...
water under the bridge now, you know...
'cause I don't have that problem anymore.
Surely, Captain,
there were other factors involved, right?
Yeah.
She was getting a little dick on the side,
if that's what you mean.
Yeah, I got that.
What else do you got?
What kind?
Yeah? The number on it? Any registration?
Golly.
David, come back here.
Where was it?
Yeah, Texas. Right.
Mm-hmm. Got that.
And what else?
Four Black September women.
Thirty-two.
No. Next.
Oh... Students outside American University of Beirut,
August '73.
Yeah, I will. Anything?
Ditto, January '74.
I will.
We will never find this woman through photographs.
Well, then let's continue to go on, anyway.
I got a case containing a dozen Armalite rifles
Wilmington, Delaware.
Hmm?
Coast Guard intercepted a private launch
outside Galveston, Texas... 32 sticks of delignite.
Treasure hunters.
Moshe... next.
It's him.
This is the Coast Guard
to the vessel alongside the Suma Maru.
Get the hell out of here.
Stand by to be boarded.
Cover me.
Rescue Coordination Center, we read you.
This is cutter Point Camp, in pursuit of small craft,
white with dark trim,
two people on board.
Entering harbor at excessive speed.
Unable to continue pursuit at this speed
without damaging pleasure craft in area.
Request smaller boats from base take up pursuit.
We roger that, Point Camp.
Base, this is Coast Guard Oh-Three
taking up pursuit of subject vessel
with Coast Guard One-Two en route to enter harbor.
Base, this is Oh-Three.
Subject has taken evasive action and entered main ship channel.
This is 12.
Will continue in pursuit, main channel.
Base, this is 12.
Have lost visual contact.
Continue up channel to B basin.
She's right on time.
Okay, we got him.
Subject vessel spotted
making high-speed run for inner basin.
We're in pursuit.
This is base.
We roger that.
Drawbridge operator, this is the Coast Guard.
Emergency. Raise the bridge.
Repeat. Raise that bridge!
Bridge operator to Coast Guard.
I can't help you. Negative.
Hey, I'm committed to a freight train.
Jesus, man! There's nothing I can do!
Base, this is Oh-Three.
Have completed search.
Good, Mike.
Negative results.
Looks like they made it.
You can damn well believe that.
Oh-Three and 12, return to base.
Yeah.
Notify civilian authorities...
Let me ask you something.
That little nipper that helped us out there...
that captain... how much does he know
about the overall plan?
I think nothing.
Well, he knows that other Jap,
the one you met in Beirut.
And he does know.
Possibly.
Anyway, he won't talk.
No.
He won't.
This is Mr. Kabakov, Mr. Moshevsky.
Working with me on the case.
Jim Radner of our Los Angeles office.
Nice work, Jim.
Well, I didn't know whether you wanted
to come out now or later.
Took the first plane when you told us
the ship was under Libyan charter.
- Well, I... - Can we go up now, Mr. Corley?
Okay. We're coming aboard.
Up the ladder on the left, Sam.
I sure appreciate that, Officer.
There's such a heavy seasonal depreciation
in this type of merchandise.
Any other business, you know...
Pardon me, gentlemen.
Ah, no! I don't want any more people on my ship!
Who are these men? Who are you?
Don't think we'll bother too much with introductions.
Corley, FBI headquarters.
I'm Lieutenant Doyle, Mr. Corley.
And this Bill Dockert of U.S. Customs...
- Mr. Dockert. - Mr. Corley, how are you?
I don't think we got very much here.
We did a routine search.
Checked cargo against manifest...
Look, I don't want to say this again,
but I got $200,000 worth of Christmas novelties
out there waiting to unload.
Now, if they're not in my shop by Wednesday,
I'm-I'm a little mad.
I am the Assistant Libyan Consul.
The captain has permitted a search,
but if he had refused, he would've been in his right.
This ship is Japanese territory.
Captain, what was that speedboat doing
alongside your ship?
We questioned the captain on that point,
and everything's perfectly satisfactory.
And what about his answer was so convincing?
Law of sea.
Speedboat was out of fuel.
I obeyed law of sea.
Why did he run away then?
Not my business.
Maybe he was smuggler for all I know, huh?
Oh, we are wasting our time.
No!
You are wasting my time.
Now, I go ashore now.
Against law to stop me.
You stay.
Search ship second time, third time.
I go ashore.
Now, this is my ship, my cabin.
Everybody get out!
I get my release.
Oh, you sure do, Mr. Muzi.
There's no further basis for an impound.
Okay with you, Lieutenant?
- Aye, sir. - All right, let's go.
It's wonderful to see the FBI step in, Mr. Corley.
Robert?
Don't be so rude to everybody.
You didn't answer my question this morning.
Why did the boat run away?
You can forget about the law...
land or sea, Captain... we are the law.
Captain Ogawa, I really don't want to have you killed.
I really don't.
But we have very little time left.
Perhaps one minute.
I don't know why boat turn away.
Not my business.
I'm going to slit your artery now.
Oh, the police are on the dock.
I must remember not to get blood on my clothing.
No!
Don't.
I...
I will talk.
Robert,
let him sit himself up.
Robert,
just go outside.
Just make yourself comfortable, Captain.
Who paid you?
Bank of Tripoli on Hong Kong.
How many were on the speedboat?
Two.
Men or women?
Man.
Woman.
What did they look like?
I don't know.
Why?
Wore masks.
What nationality?
Man, American.
Woman... silent.
What did they take off your ship
and put in the speedboat?
They take off 12 crates.
Weigh each maybe 100...
200 pounds.
Yes.
This is Captain Ogawa.
The President is expected back in Washington tomorrow morning.
Locally, Long Beach fire and police officials
have been unsuccessful in their attempts
to find the cause in last night's explosion
aboard the Japanese freighter, Suma Maru.
Captain Tekiaki Ogawa was instantly killed
when the explosion occurred in his cabin.
An Israel national identified as David Kabakov was taken
to Queen of Angels Hospital for treatment of shock
and possible internal injuries.
His condition is listed as satisfactory.
Also, here at home, controversy continues
with citizens' groups appearing before the city...
Your father's name?
Benjamin.
Living or dead, Mr. Kabakov?
Dead, nurse.
Your mother's maiden name?
Raquel née Rabinovich.
Dead.
Married or single?
I was married.
Divorced or widowed?
Widowed.
Do we have to go through all this?
I'm sorry,
but we do require these particulars.
Children?
Yes, three.
Are they presently
in this country, Mr. Kabakov?
No. My two boys are dead,
but I have a daughter who lives in Jerusalem.
In Jerusalem,
Israel.
Thank you, Mr. Kabakov.
Gentlemen, we would very much appreciate it
if you would leave as quickly as possible.
Thank you, nurse.
You, um...
I'd be interested to know
how the bomb was set off.
The, uh...
explosive charge was in the receiver itself,
activated by a specific sound frequency
on the other end
when the victim identified himself.
Yes, we have used that technique very often ourselves.
L-I should have guessed that one moment earlier.
Yes. Well, I'm going to have
to give you a warning.
In your own operational circle in Israel,
I understand behind your back
they call you "The Final Solution."
A man who takes things
to their ultimate conclusion and beyond.
Some of them say that to my face.
Yes. Well, you're not going to do it here.
Whatever you may think of our methods,
you'll play by our rules or leave.
In fact, you'll be lucky to be allowed to leave.
I mean it.
It applies to both of you.
Corley.
Be right down.
They checked the fingerprints from the cabin.
Negative.
See you later.
Major, I think you're lucky to be alive.
Fingerprints.
I should've asked that captain
if they wore gloves as well as masks.
I should've made sure of that.
Dr. Koker, emergency entrance, please.
Robert?
Do you remember, once you said to me if...
peace, if real peace ever comes to Israel...
you won't know how to live anymore.
They'll have to put you down like an old war dog.
Robert...
I do want to be put down like an old dog.
I am...
what the Americans call "beat."
I'm washed up, I'm through.
Don't tell that to me.
To other people...
but not to me.
No. You're the only person I can tell it to.
You know for 30 years,
I have been killing and murdering.
What have I achieved?
Same world...
same wars, same enemies, same friends...
and same victims.
I should've killed the girl.
You would have.
At your age, I would have.
What you do not know is
that if I had the chance to pull the trigger tomorrow...
I am not sure if I could.
Doubt has entered in.
That's no good.
So...
Listen...
"Old Dog..."
I'm going to talk to Corley
and give him a bit of... Israeli advice.
The trouble is, David...
You've come to see both sides of the question.
That is never good.
Shalom.
My, uh...
My mother... once said,
"Anybody who has a nervous breakdown
has got something wrong with them."
Moshe?
Shalom.
Father Mathers, report to administration, please.
Repeat: Father Mathers to administration, please.
Mr. Robert Moshevsky, the telephone, please.
Mr. Robert Moshevksy...
Can I take it here?
Sure.
Hello?
Yes, it is.
Would you try again in two hours, please?
Thank you.
Sister Mary Rose, room 4201, please.
Repeat. Sister Mary Rose to room 4201.
Excuse me.
You're not supposed to go in there.
And you aren't supposed to be here.
Visiting hours are over.
I'm his night sister.
I'm taking the patient his pill.
If you don't mind,
first we go down and check with security.
When I have given him his pill,
I will be more than happy to do that, but first...
No, no, no, no, no.
First, we go downstairs.
You'll only make extra work for me,
but if you insist.
You can leave your tray here, if you like.
I wouldn't dream of leaving it here, Mister...
Moshevsky.
Dr. Treman, please report to surgery.
Fourth floor, please.
All security guards, fourth floor, please.
Hey. David...
David, you all right?
Right.
David.
I've got to tell you something, Major Kabakov.
Your friend Moshevsky's been killed.
Potassium chloride injected into the carotid artery.
A woman disguised as one of...
the hospital sisters...
Just found him.
Elevator in the hospital.
I've got an all points bulletin out on the woman.
I just don't know what to say to you, Major.
Leave me alone, will you please, Mr. Corley?
That ship's manifest... was phony.
I don't know what you're talking about.
That manifest you gave to the Customs was phony.
Now, either you're going
to tell me all about that
and a lot more, or you are going...
to die.
Now...
just blink for yes,
or die for no.
There were 12 crates on that ship.
12 that came off.
What were they?
They were just statuettes.
What were they?
Explosives.
Plastic explosives.
Tell me about the girl.
What was she like?
She wore dark glasses.
I never saw her eyes.
I have seen her eyes.
Where does she live?
I swear...
I don't know.
What did she call herself?
Kaza.
Who introduced you to her?
I mean, who was the contact?
Who... who is the man who paid you the money?
Oh, well, Mr. Muzi...
now you are going to die,
unless you tell me who was the man who paid you.
Where does he live?
How did she know him?
Mamud! Mamud Al Bernadi.
He's an Egyptian!
He lives now in Tripoli!
Mamud Al Bernadi?
Lives in Tripoli.
Hmm...
I don't know why... I think I'm going to let you live.
Oh, we're caught.
Hey, what are you folks doing here?
This is private property.
That's absolutely right, and that's why we're here.
We represent a big Los Angeles syndicate
that's interested in spending
quite a bit of money on this place.
Syndicate, huh?
Consortium, yeah.
Plug that into the battery there, darling.
Thank you.
So if you don't mind,
we'd sure like to take a few pictures.
Yeah, consortium, huh?
You know, I told them they should hold out
for something like that.
You know, there's a charge for landing.
Absolutely.
$25.
You got it.
Oh... my fault. Excuse me.
It's really rude.
There you go, 25.
And... here's another 25.
Buy yourself a drink.
Thank you.
Of course, just between us,
they been letting this place go to hell.
Why, if I hadn't spent all them extra hours up there
shoring up that roof, this place...
The place would look a hell of a lot worse
than it does right now, right?
Say, you know what I'd like to do?
We'd sure appreciate it
if we could start shooting inside.
Sure. Come right in here.
Oh, that'd be just great. Go ahead, darlin'.
You know, the, uh,
the group that we work for...
...they'd sure want to keep you on here.
- Would you like that? - Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's swell.
You know, there's been a lot of hackers and kids...
Right there.
...and picnics this summer,
but I've kept them all off.
Ah, you're a good man.
Then when you get through inside...
Set it right here.
...I know some good places outside
where you can get some pictures.
Oh, that'd be swell.
Boy, you sure got a lot of good equipment there.
Say, that's a pretty fancy camera.
Yeah, it sure is, isn't it?
It's brand-new.
Ah... okay.
Listen, can I give you a hand?
No, we've got it here. Just hang on.
Oh, okay, let it down.
Slow, slow, there you go.
You got it.
It's a panoramic, you know.
Is that right?
Mm-hmm.
Well, you know, it's pretty dark in here.
Has that thing got a flash on it?
Sure does.
Hey, if you like, you know,
l-I could stand over here like this.
Give it some scale.
Hey, that'd really be terrific.
I tell you what...
why don't you... here, put your hand up like that.
Put the pipe in the mouth.
Oh, darling, doesn't he look great?
Now, I'll just...
adjust these little guys.
Just hold that pose for one second,
and get these little doohickeys in here,
and we'll be right with you.
There we go.
Now, here...
now, darling, here.
Now, we're going to be right back.
You just hold up one second.
Right.
Geez, you look just great.
I'm ready!
When are you gonna shoot?
It's completely symmetrical!
Michael!
On both sides!
Michael, Michael, please,
let's not stay around here too long, please?
Look at this. It works.
Look, darling, look at this!
Michael, please, let's go.
No, goddamn it, you're going to look at this!
We're not going anyplace! Now, look.
Now study that. Look at that.
That's brilliance, darling.
What are you talking about going?
Look at that!
We deserve this moment, sweetheart.
Don't you understand something?
When we set off the big one, we're both going with it.
Look at this.
Absolute goddamn brilliance.
Oh, God, there's absolutely
no bunching together at the darts.
They're all dispersed evenly.
I mean, natural art. Look here.
Look, look here.
Look at the light on your face.
Oh, you look beautiful.
All those little holes make a pattern on your face.
And you know what that means?
That means that every single dart came down
in exactly the perfect arc it was supposed to.
And I was worried, you know, that back there
maybe I set 'em too close to the charge,
and they'd disintegrate.
That way all I'd have done is,
fill up 25 Institutes for the Deaf
to commit suicide.
Why so long a face?
We're champions!
Look at that.
Goddamn champions.
Don't you understand?
Darling, don't you realize something?
The day we set the big one off,
we're only going to be a hundred feet off the ground.
Right over the 50-yard line.
Now, look at this.
That means 222,000 darts in a kill zone for 80,000 people.
That ought to do the job pretty well.
Yeah...
pretty goddamn well.
Kabakov.
Colonel Riaf.
We have known a lot about each other.
I listened to the tape that you sent me.
It was quite brave of you to take this step on your own.
If it was...
on your own.
Well, I can assure you, Colonel,
that no one on my side knows that I am here with you
or that I have communicated with you in any way.
You want us to do your work for you?
Why?
Because if this happens,
it will be very bad for my cause.
But it will also be very bad for yours,
and in the end, you know, it might be worse for yours.
You have a reputation for ruthlessness, Major.
What happened to it?
If this thing is indeed going to be so bad for us,
why don't you go home, have some sleep?
Colonel, we have fought many battles
on opposite sides.
We've had some victories; we've had some defeats.
If this happens, for both of us it is a defeat.
Your government has outlawed Black September, hasn't it?
I agree.
What is it you want from us?
Well, I want one photograph of the girl on the tape...
some dossier.
How you get that... I don't know how...
possibly from the man in... in Tripoli.
He was Egyptian; you expelled him.
You have 100 sources of information,
of access denied to me,
but you must cooperate with me right now.
Just because you did not consult your embassy superiors
does not mean that you have to expect me
to be rash... or foolhardy.
The word you used before was "brave."
I didn't particularly want to have to say this.
I think I will.
Five minutes ago, you had a choice.
Now you've no choice.
If you do not help me, you may have on your hands
the blood of a great many innocent Americans.
And so, if you do not help me...
I am going to make this conversation
very widely known.
Good day... Kabakov.
Her name is Dahlia lyad.
Of Arab-German extraction.
Born on a farm near Haifa,
formerly Palestine, in 1948.
Her father, brother killed by Israeli commandos

Here is her face.
Look at it.
After all...
in a way, she's your creation, Major Kabakov.
Hotel...
Edward.
Right.
No, I'm fine.
I will time the route to the airport tomorrow.
Then I will take the first available flight.
Can't wait.
Bye.
They know who you are...
the Americans.
They found out yesterday.
They have your name, your photograph.
It will be in every police station,
bank, and post office.
How did this happen?
Once they'd found the tape which you insisted on making,
it was only a matter of time...
but they were quicker than we anticipated.
I've come to get you out of the country.
Put that away.
Who is it?
- Bellhop. - Put that away.
Coming.
Happy New Year.
What you are really saying is...
the operation is canceled.
Right.
For your own safety and the whole organization.
That's very easy.
As easy as pulling out a gun,
and as stupid.
Look, Fasil, I have already faced
far greater risks and dangers than this new one.
Risks... you know nothing about,
and I overcame all of them,
and now, at the very point of success,
you want to cancel,
when the bomb is here, ready to go off.
Ah, no.
I have been through too much for that.
We know what you've been through, and you've done well.
It would have been difficult
even with a perfectly normal man.
We give you credit for that.
I don't want credit.
I want to win!
And it shows how little you know.
A normal man wouldn't have approached us
in the first place,
and this one is very gifted.
That's why it's going to work,
and I'm going to stay
and see it through.
- You go back to Beirut. - Listen!
I am your superior in the organization,
and you will obey orders.
You may be my superior in the organization,
but you are not a woman.
In case you had any idea of taking over,
he doesn't give a damn about Black September politics.
Help me!
I don't need protection,
I need help.
Major?
We've found Dahlia lyad.
You're sure?
Positively identified
in a Miami hotel last night.
I got a plane waiting. Let's go.
Thank God.
The girl had already gone by the time we got there,
but the man is still there...
the man who was with her.
- Yeah. - That's his room up there,
the fourth floor, third window.
Who is this man?
He's registered as Alex Stephanos.
Yes.
Mohammad Fasil.
- She's with him, all right. - Who is he?
Organized the attack on the Olympic village in Munich,
- Black September. - Ah, yes.
We've got the hotel
men in the lobby,
that worker over across the street,
and we've got a marksman up in that...
No, I don't want any marksmen.
No firing, not while she's free.
You tell your men. Be very careful, be very alert.
Very dangerous, very professional.
He watches everything, everything.
Here he comes.
Yes, it's Fasil.
Any messages for 39?
No.
Tell your men not to shoot,
even if they get him in the clear.
Get him on the radio.
- Hold your fire! - Hold your fire!
Hold your fire!
Put your hands up now!
Get down!
Put your heads down!
You over there, keep down!
Put your hands...
Down, down!
Put your heads down!
Don't fire! Repeat, don't fire!
Don't shoot.
Keep your heads down. Keep your heads down!
Hold it right there.
Hold your fire. Get down.
Keep down!
