Original subtitles

Got time for breakfast?

I have to be at the theater by 8.

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 lsraeli secret service

that claimed the life last January of a Fatah delegate in Paris.

Don't drive in circles. I know Beirut.

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?

The chairman of the retailer Marks and Spencer

was seriously wounded yesterday at his home

when a masked man fired at him.

Vice president of the Zionist Federation,

Sieff has publicly sided with the lsraeli 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.

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?

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 Wadie 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?

PFLP delegate in Europe.

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?

- 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?

He panicked.

- 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.

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?

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.

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.

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 2 weeks ago.

Any more questions?

Can we come in?

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 whisky?

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.

Why?

Do you speak English?

- What is this? - What?

We'll spend 3 weeks in the camp.

Training every day.

No liquor.

No cigarettes.

We'll make a new man of you.

We need well-trained fighters. We haven't much time.

Good thing we have our German comrades.

It's time. They're here.

Inspector Janda here! Attack at OPEC!

Turn around!

You a cop?

Youssef! The explosives! Now!

Set them off only if I say so!

Understood?

Khalid!

Find Yamani?

Not yet.

Dr. Hernandez Acosta...

You can stand.

In the back, on the left.

Faster!

No talking!

Move it!

I don't get it.

- What is it? - Someone's wounded.

There are terrorists.

It's a serious wound.

He needs to be operated immediately.

Take him to the police.

Send him to the hospital. Then you come back.

Do I have your word?

You do.

Are you a hostage?

Don't move!

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 Qaddafi 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 , 1 975:

"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..."

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.

ln 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 DC9.

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.

He's in an ambulance.

On his way to the airport.

We will not leave

until he's on board. Understood?

If we'd asked for a belly-dance, he'd have done it.

Nada!

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.

Those bastards!

Keep away!

Would you really have killed me?

I'd have saved you for last.

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.

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 ministers' 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 dollars?

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'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.

Angie, shut up in front of Haddad.

You know I'm right.

We need his support and his money.

Be strategic for once.

Who are you? Just like anyone else.

Is he upset?

An incredible operation

by lsraeli Defense Forces

at the Entebbe Airport in Uganda.

Just before midnight, 3 Israeli aircraft

containing parachutists and soldiers

landed on the airstrip where pro-Palestinian militants
