Original subtitles

These are the Black September terrorists.

We need to take them down before they take us.

Their only demand is to release

the remaining killers from the Munich attack

and fly them to Libya.

Enjoy your fame.

The TV people are waiting for you.

Klaus.

You know Comrade Lena.

Yes, of course.

The safehouse in Berlin.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Where have you been?

I got back late, didn't want to wake you up.

We think they're planning an attack

using a ship that could get here.

We can't let the Israelis think they're winning.

Don't worry, I'll get the explosives.

Verdun Street in Beirut.

This is where several Black September

and high-ranking PLO members live.

Get me a meeting with the prime minister.

About?

We're going to end this.

Kill them all.

This is what you learn eventually.

Taking out one guy

doesn't really harm an organization.

They just replace him.

One must take out the entire leadership.

Abu-Youssef Najar, founder of Black September.

He trained the Munich team and plans more attacks.

He commands thousands of trained Fedayeen,

a capable and charismatic leader.

Kamal Aduan,

head of PLO attacks inside Israel

and a high-ranking member of Black September.

Kamal Natzer,

spokesman for the PLO,

but secretly also responsible for Black September propaganda.

While attacking these targets, we might also hit

Ali-Hassan Salame, Abu-Iyad,

who are constantly on the move,

running from one hideout to another.

Beirut is the capital of an Arab country, Zvika.

That's why they feel completely safe there.

It could deteriorate into a full-out war.

Lebanon is not a threat.

They're too weak.

It's not Egypt or Syria.

It's a gamble.

It's bold.

Can you hit all targets at the same time?

We're working on it.

We're wasting our time and resources in Europe.

We need to finish it before they strike again.

Do it.

We can't do it.

Why not?

I don't have the manpower.

We currently have three strike teams, Yair, Gidi and Ofir,

spread through Europe, busy on different assignments.

Even if I pull some men, they're not trained for this.

They're spies, Zvika.

They're trained to blend in,

not for what could escalate into a battle

in the middle of an enemy country.

What are you saying?

We simply don't have the manpower, Zvika.

We'll need to set up a whole new department.

Let's talk to the military. They have the manpower.

You're going back to your roots, Zvika?

IDF isn't trained for espionage.

We'll do the intelligence work.

They'll do the shooting.

There will be a lot of shooting.

They're used to it.

You're late.

I had to make sure I wasn't being followed.

You should tell Yasser Arafat

the president is furious.

We know all about Black September.

We know you guys killed our ambassador.

Do you understand the new situation you're in?

No more "the PLO is diplomatic, we don't do terrorism" bullshit.

Not only do we know,

the American people know too.

It's all over the news.

We live in a democracy, you know what that means?

The people are outraged.

Heads will roll.

You're fair game now.

What are you telling me exactly?

Goodbye, Abu-Iyad.

They tried to scare us in prison, the Germans,

but we didn't let them.

They punched me, they kicked Jamal.

Now you are in Lebanon

and no one will touch you.

No one will come close to you.

Now you are amongst friends.

My brothers.

A thousand thanks to God for your safety.

Abu-Iyad.

You honour us.

- Bless you, Abu-Iyad. - My friend.

All good.

It's so good to have you home finally.

Forgive me it took three months

to get you from Libya to Lebanon.

Should we issue a press release? The heroes are back.

Wait, it's too soon. They might have been followed.

Here? In Lebanon?

You are heroes.

You're symbols to all of us.

But it's dangerous times in Lebanon.

You should be cautious.

My men, my buddies!

Are you here?

Come, come.

My friend.

Welcome. You brat, come here.

How are you?

- Did you just land? - Just now.

Did they offer you food?

No. I mean a restaurant.

This is Beirut!

Let's go. I'm taking you guys for lunch.

We're going to celebrate.

The Fedayeen heroes are home!

Come on, guys, let's go. Abu-Iyad. Come on.

They're targets. Be careful.

Nobody will touch them. Nobody. Believe me.

Let's go, boys!

We need to plan the Haifa operation.

Amazing work, Zvika.

Okay.

Once we hit the first target,

the others will know we're coming for them,

and they will disappear, or worse, wait for us.

That's right, Ehud,

that's why we want to hit them simultaneously.

Simultaneously?

All these targets?

Mm-hmm.

You want the IDF to send a full brigade,

to appear suddenly in the capital

of an enemy state,

break into three specific apartments

without being spotted,

identify three individuals and kill only them

without any collateral damage with no casualties on our side.

- Is that correct? - Yes.

That's what we've been doing in Europe until now,

but we need to up our game.

Europe...

We're talking about the capital of an Arab country here,

full of armed militias, right?

Yes. That's the mission.

Sounds crazy.

Right.

Stop playing with your food.

How are you going to grow big like your father

if you don't eat?

When will we see him?

I want to show him my drawing.

Your father is very important and he's at work.

He'll be here later and give you a hug. You too.

When he hugs me he smells funny.

Shhh.

What?

Daddy. He smells funny.

When I hug Daddy he smells like your friends.

Like perfume.

You mean aftershave.

Yeah, I guess.

That's enough. Finish your meal. Marwa will take you to school.

Come on.

I'll clean after I...

Just take them out.

Okay.

Fuck you, Ali.

You're Canadian.

You're working on a movie or a television series.

I don't know anything about it.

Don't worry about it.

We'll teach you everything you need to know.

And get you a job in London in a production company.

Nice.

But then you'll need to do research for the script,

away from London.

What's my script about?

You'll choose the story,

as long as the research

leads you to Beirut.

It's a long mission. Several weeks,

alone.

Collecting intelligence for an operation.

Beirut is not Europe.

It's dangerous for you. All the time.

Our agent who took these pictures

was killed there two weeks ago.

Two bedrooms and good furniture.

Very nice.

How long you say you need the lease for?

About six months.

Why only six months?

I'm writing a television series.

Ah, nice.

Very nice.

About what?

About Lady Hester Stanhope.

Who?

A British adventurer from the 19th century

who lived here in Beirut.

It's a really fascinating story. She's the main character.

A female adventurer, all alone in a foreign place.

Like me.

Are you from England?

Yes.

Rattan furniture. I like it.

Your accent, it's not English.

I'm Canadian.

I live in London, but I was born in Toronto.

And you say you can pay in cash?

For a discount?

Of course. Of course.

Why this area?

Better not for you close to the beach.

I'm here for research, for work, not for the beach.

That's very nice. Very nice.

And here is the balcony.

It's a small balcony.

But very pleasant.

Wonderful breeze, yes?

It's perfect.

The Germans caught Klaus Schmidt.

Who?

Red Army Faction, the Baader-Meinhof gang.

They're interrogating him now in Munich.

He worked closely with Black September and Salame.

And you want to go to there?

I think you should go, too.

I'm too busy.

We're working with the military on setting up the operation.

Harari is on it.

I'm not going back to Germany.

- Why? - What for?

Because I need you there.

They don't know who I am.

You know the minister of the interior, Genscher.

I'm not going there.

Do you believe the Americans

don't really have information on Salame's whereabouts?

I don't know, Esther,

but I sense you have an alternative theory.

There are rumours about his contacts.

If the Americans think they can turn him into a CIA asset,

why help us kill him?

It's possible.

The Germans, on the other hand, might know where Salame is.

Maybe we can get to him.

You're very good at your job.

Thank you.

You might run this place one day.

I'm not sure I want to.

You'll want to.

I'm going to Germany again.

I can tell you don't want to.

Is it about stopping those scumbags?

Then you're going.

I know.

Remember what you told me when you came back from Munich?

That nobody cares?

You care.

That's the trouble. I care too much.

Excuse me.

Good Morning.

Dear Emil,

I miss you more and more every day.

This week I took some pictures of nice architecture in the area

and met some of my neighbors.

They're nervous that sometimes militias roam the area.

Finished.

You're not staying for coffee?

Thank you, I can't.

Okay.

Thank you.

Marwa,

I'm going out.

Take care of the children.

I need to leave...

Take care.

God damn you, Ali.

Hello.

Yes, Madame, how can I help you?

The very nice lady who just walked out of the hotel,

blonde, white coat?

I don't know.

She just walked out a minute ago.

She dropped her scarf. Maybe she'd like it back.

How very kind of you. Which lady, you said?

Very pretty? Blonde?

Miss Weber. Lena. Yes.

Lena. Yes.

I'll make sure she gets it.

Great. Thank you.

And you are?

Lena Weber.

Police. Who is it?

- Hello? - Who is it?

Ayman?

My friend.

- Are you okay? - Yes. Of course.

You said if I ever needed something from the police...

Suspicious people.

Wait for a second.

Yes, I'll hold.

I'm listening.

You know, I'm always worried about foreigners.

Of course.

Are you writing this down?

- Yes. - I have a name for you.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. El-Khoury.

How is your wife today?

Much better, thank you.

Those cookies you made were wonderful.

Writing letters. Very nice.

Oh, calling abroad is so expensive.

You should be careful, though.

Security.

They open letters sometimes.

It's just a silly love letter.

Oh, someone is very lucky then.

Hey, guys.

- Look who's here. - Hello.

My friend.

Jamal! I was so worried about you.

To you, Jamal. Hero of our people.

Thanks.

Maybe you shouldn't drink beer, man.

It's a bad look. Alcohol... You're a Muslim.

Fuck them. They didn't fight for us.

He did.

No, he's right. I'm better than this.

I'll get you a soda.

Thanks.

She likes you,

but don't get attached.

She's going to school in Europe next year.

- Oh, yeah? - Paris.

Maybe I'll go visit her.

I'm thinking about going to med school in Italy.

Nice.

♪ Ooh, life will never be the same ♪

I told him about Paris.

Why?

He could come visit.

He can't come, you idiot.

He's wanted, all over the world.

Oh, fuck.

Do they guard you over here?

Yeah, there's a guy downstairs.

Well done, your own bodyguard.

They got us a safe house,

so nobody knows where I am.

They might need to move me back to Libya.

For good.

Fuck.

You okay?

Yeah.

Was it hard?

What?

Prison. In Germany.

They beat us.

I'm sorry.

I don't care about that.

I don't know what to do with my life now.

I can't go to Europe, or anywhere in the world now.

Or do anything, really.

I have to go.

No, wait...

I have to go.

Enjoy Paris.

Wait, Jamal!

Are you ready for the press conference next week?

Yes.

What are you going to say?

Revolution until victory.

Come in, guys.

Hey, what's going on?

Have a seat.

You're part of the drivers' team now.

Drivers?

Have you ever been to Beirut?

Beirut? No, never had the pleasure.

Guys, we're going on an operation in Lebanon.

And you have a critical part in this operation.

You'll arrive on different flights,

under your deepest European cover,

two days before the operation.

You're rich tourists.

Stay in different hotels. Throw money around.

And rent cars. Large ones.

If you see each other by accident,

ignore one another.

Right now we're scouting for viable beaches

to land our commandos.

You will pick them up from the beach

in the civilian cars you've rented

and drive them to the targets.

Then wait while they operate, and drive them back.

Until that moment, you're tourists.

Remember your training, and don't get caught.

Lebanon is not Europe.

If you're caught, you're dead.

Cool.

I'm worried about Jamal and the guys,

their mental state. I'm not at ease.

They're young men, they'll get over it.

Let them party. Let Jamal feel like a hero.

We need to protect them.

Here?

They're taking us down one by one.

After Sudan we're all targets.

Sudan was a failure.

I feel we need to rethink our international efforts.

What?

You said it would bring us the attention of the world.

It did.

But now it is also destroying us.

It's getting out of hand. We're losing control.

And the Haifa attack we're planning?

So no attacks cross border, because they failed,

and no international attacks?

We must have the Arab world fighting with us.

You're talking like our fathers now,

leaving our fate to Arab nations.

"The big Arab army"...

What happened to you?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.

We'll be landing shortly in Munich.

The local time is 11:50

and the temperature is 13 degrees Celsius.

Welcome to Germany.

What a pleasure.

It's not the same situation.

We'll see.

I told you, I'm not talking about this.

Why do you care?

Salame is not Red Army Faction. He's not loyal to you.

He likes to spend money and party.

Yeah, probably.

He's not a real revolutionary, you know.

Do you know where he hangs out?

How the fuck would I know?

- He says he doesn't kn... - I heard.

He's probably back in Lebanon.

Maybe he's with one of his girls.

Lebanon again.

What girls?

What girls?

Cigarette.

What girls?

Names.

We were promised cooperation from your interior minister.

This is General Zamir!

We have a written promise, signed by your minister!

Who do we need to talk to?

Klaus.

What girls?

I only know Lena.

Who's Lena?

Hello.

Where are my boots?

In the closet.

No, the nice ones.

I have no idea.

And I brought some dirty laundry.

It needs to be washed.

Fuck this world.

Keep it down. The kids are home.

Fine, whatever.

I'm living like a dog, you know that?

I'm moving from place to place, with my men all the time.

Abu-Iyad is driving me crazy.

And now the police are here. The dogs.

- The police? - Yes, the police.

They're harassing an important contact of mine.

A foreigner.

Who?

He's staying in a hotel in town

and they brought him in for questioning.

He's my friend.

Where from?

Germany. They might deport him.

He's an important contact for the revolution.

I tell you, Lebanon is not a free country anymore.

Do you want me to call my contact in the police?

No. I'll handle it.

- Say hi to the kids, maybe? - No time.

It's such a beautiful day.

Who wants to come with me for ice cream?

Yay!

This is where...

We should have been more prepared.

Let's get out of here, Zvika. It's not good being here.

Right. Let's get this over with.

Hey!

Hey, you!

What are you doing here?

I don't speak Arabic.

Sorry, very bad Arabic.

What are you doing here?

I'm just taking a walk.

Here?

I like walks on the beach.

Now, at night?

It is dangerous. Very.

- It's okay. - Wait.

Where are you going?

Just around.

Where are you from?

I'm Canadian.

Tourist.

You need to come with us.

No foreigners are allowed here.

- I didn't know. - Come with us.

Okay, wait. Um,

I'm actually meeting someone here.

It's the only private place we can meet

without others knowing about it.

If you know what I mean.

And the area over there, not very pleasant.

It's full of women.

Yes.

Prostitutes.

We know.

So you understand?

There's a nice spot behind the rocks.

Over there.

Very private.

Thanks.

You called me?

There's a Baader-Meinhof girl

who is romantically involved with Salame.

We think she's in Beirut.

- The Germans told you that? - Yes.

And you think she'll lead us to Salame.

Maybe.

We heard she stays at one of the hotels.

Maybe he meets her there.

We can't use Helen for this. She's already very exposed.

What about our drivers?

They're not there yet.

What if we send one of them earlier?

Welcome to the Intercontinental Beirut.

- Here is your key, sir. - Thank you.

Does the room have a beachfront view?

No.

How about now?

Could be arranged.

What's the weather like at night on the beach?

You've gone to the beach at night?

I like fishing.

Night time is best.

Very good.

I'll find out and let you know, sir.

Thank you.

And where can I meet some women?

European women.

There are many bars in town.

I will give you a list.

Good morning.

Our undercover drivers.

George, Andrew, Bobby.

What did you do in your military service?

His Hebrew is bad.

He hasn't served in the military.

Does he have any experience in military action?

No.

Mike, has he ever operated a weapon?

Only in his training, for self-defence.

Have you ever been in combat?

Not exactly.

Do you know how to operate an Uzi?

Only a handgun.

How about you?

Have you ever been shot at?

Uh, no.

What if we encounter enemy troops?

Their job is reconnaissance.

They will survey the area before, rent the cars,

and then join your men.

They're just drivers who know the area well.

You know you will be extracted via zodiacs.

We haven't gone over that yet.

Zvika, let's talk.

I'm calling off this entire operation.

- What? - Those are your men?

Your Mossad agents? They're not soldiers.

If we had soldiers who could sneak into enemy territory,

we wouldn't need your commando team.

Dado, I don't think you understand their job.

Zvika, you commanded the entire Southern district.

You commanded people under fire.

Would you lead these men into battle?

Absolutely. For this particular battle, yes.

They need to disappear.

If they look like your commando soldiers,

they will be made.

They're ordinary people

who can stay undercover for weeks,

on their own, with no help.

They will get to Beirut undetected,

rent cars, scout the area,

find points of access, identify problems.

Any mistake in conversation or casual gesture

could mean they're dead.

But they know how to do this.

Their cover is their weapon.

Exactly. Thanks to them, nobody will see us coming.

It's a very big operation.

We vouch for them.

Okay.

For a moment, I thought they were going

to hand me over to Interpol.

They don't know who you are.

Yeah, but I can't stay here and wait for them to find out.

I know it was very unpleasant.

I'm sorry.

I used all my contacts to get you out.

You know I wouldn't let anybody hurt you, Lena.

I know, Ali.

Thank you.

I'm going to kill whoever ratted you out.

Let's go. I don't want to miss my flight.

Did you pack everything?

Yes.

What about this?

The hotel said I lost it, but it's not really mine.

What do you mean?

Some lady dropped it off.

What lady?

Can we go?

Sure.

Lena was spotted in Vienna Airport,

on her way to Cuba.

She left Beirut before we could locate Salame.

He's one lucky son of a bitch.

And he doesn't even know it.

Have the other drivers landed?

They will in a few hours.

They're coming on different flights.

We've prepared a list of their next of kin,

just in case we need to notify them.

Most of their families

don't even know they're in the Mossad.

They're boarding the missile boats

in thirty minutes.

The operation starts in eighteen hours.

I heard they're wearing disguises.

Yes, they're dressed as civilian couples.

Half in women's clothing.

- Seriously? - You have to.

If it's only men in civilian clothes

it doesn't work.

From a distance, they look like tourists.

Nobody recognises them as soldiers

until it's too late.

Looks good on you.

I look like my mom.

- Your idea? - I wish.

All our officers are going to Beirut

on this mission.

If we're ambushed, our entire unit is gone. Killed.

We took the best men we have.

But what if we're all killed?

Or get captured?

Listen up, everyone.

You all have their pictures?

Good.

I'm going to be at street level,

so make sure you kill the right people.

And if you see any of these characters over there,

you take them out too.

These are our enemies.

If we don't take them out over there,

they will kill our citizens all over the world.

Remember Munich.

Let's do this.

Let's go.
