"Hey!" "Come on, Mouse, out of the water!" "Oh, Mama." "A little longer." " I said out!" "Right now!" "You're both completely blue!" "They're pretty." " Who are they?" "The Shah of Iran and his wife." " Ah, my three Graces." "Papa, what is a Shah?" " Sort of like a king." "A Shah may cut off the head of anyone he dislikes." "Don't tell the children such rubbish." " The Truth is Simple." "With such power, there is no joke." " Hallo, Klaus." "And?" "How goes the Revolution?" " Right now, it's on holiday." "Will you to come to our party tonight?" " Certainly." "Well, until then." " Yes." "Ah, Klaus, not now." "Yeah, sure, OK." " It makes me nervous." "Yes, but not very much." "So cheer up." "The royal couple landed at 11.05... in a private plane at Tempelhof airport." "Empress Farah wore a fox-fur coat and a black and white hat." "Stefan!" "Stefan!" "The Shah inspected an honor-guard of the Berlin Police." "Stefan, dear friend." "Fresh off the presses." "OK." "For all to hear." "My clever star-journalist wife... wrote an open letter to her imperial highness Farah Diba." "Don't make a big deal of it." " It'll be in the next edition." "5000 of these fliers are already at the universities." "Very good." "Good day, Mrs Pahlevi." "There's a story in the New Review about life in Iran, about how hot it gets there, and how you, like most Persians, like to holiday on the Caspian coast." "Like most Persians?" "Isn't that an exaggeration?" "Most Persians are farmers, and make less than 100 Marks a year." "And half of all Persian mothers die giving birth." "From hunger, poverty and illness." "And the children work 14-hour days weaving carpets." "Do most of them really holiday with you at the Caspian seaside?" "They write:" ""The Shah must have a son."" "Iranian Law is very strict on that point." "Strange that it seems so unimportant to the Shah." "And no official statement is made." "That the Minister of Justice makes no comment." "That unofficial courts are held in secret." "That torture is allowed under Persian law." "We do not want to insult you." "But the German public should not be insulted with crap like this story in the New Review." "Faithfully, Ulrike Meinhof." "Welcome, Pahlevi!" " Princess, Princess!" "Farah!" "Farah Diba!" "Murderer!" "Are they crazy?" "Murderer!" "Are you crazy?" "What are you doing?" "Don't push me, you wanker!" "Stop!" "Is there a doctor here?" "Let us through!" "It's out of control here." "Are you stupid?" "There, the woman!" "Can you help us?" "We have an injured person here." "What happened?" "He was attacking me." " You are mad?" "Let's go." "He needs a physician!" "Mrs Meinhof, they were not on the demonstrators' side." "Why?" "The right-wing press blamed the disaster on the students." "Above all the Springer group tried, in its newspaper, to label the students as rioters." ""To shout is no longer enough, now they want blood."" "But the truth is, the protest proved that we live in a Police state." "That the Police and the press went too far in Berlin on June 2nd." "And that the only freedom here is for the Police." "But Mrs Meinhof, with all respect..." " We all know that Kurras who shot Ohnesorg, will be acquitted." "That is pure demagogy!" "That is demagogy." "In America they discuss using nuclear weapons in Vietnam, and Israel starts a war of aggression with the help of the USA." "which is called "preventive war" here." " Israel has to defend itself." "Then Hitler's attacks on Poland and Russia were also "preventive"." "But you can't say that!" " Mrs Meinhof, I must say..." "You must also consider the child." "This woman has nothing worthwhile to say." "The American Imperialist machine will not stop!" "Vietnam, Bolivia and now the Near East." "America has supplied Israel with weapons for years." "Each warplane, each rocket, each tank, everything comes from the USA." "Or the western industrial nations." " They are not the people's friends!" "The pigs want to control the oil fields of the Near East." "It's just shit to them if many thousands of people die." "I must now go to church." " You should preach... that over half the people in the world do not have enough to eat." "Is it senseless to preach for a better world?" "That those condemned once again must resist!" "You should get married soon." "Ulrike!" "Wait!" "Wait!" "Finally." "Hello, Baby." " Well, Kitty?" "So, here it is." "I hope it's enough." "Will it be enough?" " Why?" "So..." " Hey!" "I think... we don't want to torch the department store" "We need hard action to show that wanker that we're not kidding!" "And if people are still inside?" " Don't talk like a homo, Tussi." "Who'd be there at night?" "And if there is: a bigger headline!" "Are you insane?" " Andreas knows what he's doing." "You're under arrest!" " Police!" "Halt!" "Idiot!" " Police!" "Handcuff them!" " You're under arrest for arson." "Good morning." "Under continuous bombardment by American warplanes... of alleged Vietcong positions, civilian populations suffer the most." "In the USA, particularly at universities, these pictures led... the students to rise up in protest." "In the Federal Republic... thousands of students protest, such as these, in Berlin." "The Anarchist Rudi Dutschke mobilizes the resistance." "Comrades, we don't have much time." "In Vietnam the bombs fall every day." "We must stand up for them." "As Che said:" "It is not a matter of wishing success to the victim of aggression, but of sharing his fate." "One must accompany him to his death or to victory." "From German ground..." "From German ground wars are still prepared." "From German ports and military bases..." "The American military wages the Vietnam war!" "We cannot allow this!" "We must stop the German government helping this Imperialist war in Viet Nam!" "Are you Ulrike Meinhof?" " Yes." "We are forced to take illegal action... let sabotage and blockades start now!" "We protest against this conference!" "Ladies and Gentlemen, this conference is terminated!" "Are you Rudi Dutschke?" "Yes, I am." " You dirty communist pig!" "I am dead." "Let me live." "Father." "Mother." "Soldier..." "Soldier..." "He's down here!" "He went down here somewhere." "Search the building site." " Covering!" "You are surrounded!" "Come out with hands up!" "I can't stand communists." "Rudi Dutschke is in critical condition after two hours of emergency surgery today." "Only one of the two bullets could be removed from his head." "Spontaneous demonstrations have sprung up across the country, blaming the Springer publishing house for inciting the assassination attempt." "Springer, Murderer!" "I didn't think this was your style!" "Attention, this is the Police!" "You are trespassing on private property." "Leave the area immediately!" "Come along!" "Frau Meinhof?" "What are you doing here?" "Release her." "Frau Meinhof is a journalist." "Dresden!" "Hiroshima!" "Vietnam!" "Dresden!" "Hiroshima!" "Vietnam!" "Che Guevara was captured... and then murdered by the CIA..." "Yesterday Martin Luther King was assassinated Senator Robert Kennedy was shot..." "Republican Richard Nixon becomes the 37th President of the USA" "Soldiers sealed off the street and fired into the crowd." "One of the first Soviet vehicles into Czechoslovakia..." "The students call the protests in Paris cultural revolution." "The state calls it anarchy." "The more I hear of this shouting, the clearer it becomes - we need to ensure the rule of law in this country." "In agreement with Andreas Baader I want to make a statement." "He and I placed the bomb in the department store." "We did it to protest against the indifference... of people who sit and watch the genocide in Vietnam." "We believe that speech without action is wrong." "Order, please!" "Order, please!" "Mr Mahler?" "Could you do us the honor of allowing the court to share the joke?" "The judges can hardly understand the ideas Ms Ensslins and Mr Baader." "Otherwise they would take off their robes and join the protests themselves." "Order!" "Order, please!" "Mr Ensslin, your daughter wanted to address your generation with her act." "Whatever they wanted to do, it comes to this:" "Our generation experienced, in the name of the people, concentration camps, Jew hate, genocide, and now will not permit reformation, a new beginning." "How do you explain that, with the world as it is?" "It's amazing that Gudrun, who considers things very rationally and intelligently, by one foolish act, experienced" "a holy self implementation." "I feel that she created something free with her act." "Even in the family." "I feel liberated." "Of a tightness and a fear, that had ruled my life before." "It took the fear from me." "Throw a single stone, and that is a crime." "Throw a thousand stones and that is a political action." "Set fire to a car, that is a crime." "Burn a thousand cars, and that is a political act." "Protest is saying:" ""I disagree with this and that."" "Resistance is saying:" ""I will put a stop to this and that."" "Thanks for making this possible." " It's OK." "I've read your work." "Can one stop the genocide in Vietnam by burning down a department store?" "No." "It was an error, as I said in court." "It was an act of rebellion." "But it was pointless... while Fascism grows as strong as it was under Hitler." "This time we offer resistance." "Out of responsibility before history." "People, here and in America, must eat." "Must eat and buy." "But they do not think about it, they just consume." "We wanted them to think about it a little." "So you burned down a department store?" "I will never resign myself to doing nothing." "Never." "If people try to murder us, like Ohnesorg und Dutschke, then we will shoot back." "That is only consistent." "Do you really mean that?" "All over the world comrades fight with guns in hand." "We must become soldiers." " We fight already." "And if the fascists throw you into prison for it?" "Such victims they'll have." "Or do you believe that you'll change something with your grand theory?" "Sorry, I didn't mean to be cruel." "Is Baader or Gudrun here?" " Gudrun is up there." "Oh!" "Sorry!" " Hello." "Who are you?" "I'm Peter Boock." " And I'm Gudrun." "Are you a runaway?" "Youth Training Centre." " There are others here, too." "They'll soon come and join us." "They gather up here." "Can I bathe afterwards?" " Bathe now." "No water wasting here." "Tell me about yourself." "Where did you get that?" " Youth Training Centre." "Lucky City." "I heard about it." "You nearly burned the place down." "The bastards nearly beat us to death for it." "If they catch me, no more day leave till I turn 21." "Don't let it worry you." "You're part of our family now." "You were locked up for arson, too." "But we are free on appeal." "And at least we can make an appeal." "And so we make it." " And if they find me?" "Andreas and I must disappear, if our appeal is rejected." "Tell me... do I see right?" "You trying to fuck my old lady?" "Well, Kitty?" "Hey." "Andreas, this is Peter." "What happened to you?" " The staff at Lucky City." "Then we should tear them some new arseholes." "Great leather jacket!" "Here, it's yours." "Let's go!" "To Darmstadt!" " We don't have enough cars." "Then we'll steal two or three." "Only the gun cures the rigidity." "Go on, fire at will!" "Fire at will!" "We have made extraordinary efforts... to understand what the people want." "We want more democracy." "These words of the new Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt as he takes office... reconcile the students and end nearly 3 years continuous riots." "The reform promises to create peace at the universities, and the basis to bring the outside parliamentary opposition into the democratic process." "And what do you believe?" " I think the worst is over." "The protest movement has lost its momentum." "Groups which feel existentially oppressed will not hesitate to bomb whatever parts of society they see as oppressive." "Over here!" "Can't you see us?" "Gudrun?" "Andreas..." "Hallo, Astrid." " Mister Counselor." "And?" "What are your plans?" "What's next for you?" "Can't you talk normally?" "Do you really think Interpol are after us?" "...because those jerks in Frankfurt rejected our appeal?" "We're not going back to prison." "Then come to Berlin." "Illegally." "We're building up a new group." "We're further along than you'd think." "What have your guys done?" "A lot's happened since you've been away." "We have good contacts." "Houses, ID, money, weapons." "We can provide everything." "Yeah, under your leadership." "The illegal underground attorney." "I'm shitting myself." " Let him finish." "They couldn't steal grandma's puppy!" " That's not the point." "Where's Dutschke now?" " Living in London." "He's crippled, can hardly speak." "Since he was shot, nobody leads while the struggle goes on." "The struggle would have been won, if they hadn't screwed it up." "Show us what you're made of." "Steal the purse from granny's bag." "Baby..." " I want to know if he's got the balls." "Or is it all just talk?" "Oh, man!" "Fucking shit, they're stealing my car!" "Hey!" "Stop!" "Fucking spagetti-muncher!" "Shit!" "You dumb bitch, you left the car open again!" "So what?" "Steal a new one." " You CUNT!" "CUNT!" "FUCK IT ALL!" "WHY?" "What are you doing here?" "Why us?" "So call the cops." "Where's Ulrike?" " In bed." "Where's the bedroom?" " Back there." "Wait a minute." "Quiet, you'll wake the children." "We're back." "They're hunting you, you know." " Big deal." "Can we stay here for a while?" " Yes, of course." "We're recruiting here in Berlin." "And in other cities." "We're expanding the group." "Political conditions change." "What are your plans?" " What kind of stupid question is that?" "We take action." "If it goes wrong, too bad." "So, that's it for me." "Where can I crash?" "I'll join you in a moment." "What does he mean, though?" " He means exactly what he said." "Andreas does not compromise." "You must understand that." "Andreas is more of a revolutionary than all the rest of us together." "Sounds great when you're stoned." "You look unhappy." "I saw a film about Youth Homes." "Girls there are treated like shit." "I thought I could do something about it, but they remain shitty." "But Peggy there escaped." "What we need is a new morality." "You must see that clearly." "Draw a line between you and our enemies." "You must leave the system and burn your bridges." "And your son?" "That you may never see again?" "If you're serious, you have to be prepared to suffer." "Andreas also has a baby daughter." "I could never leave my children." "Shit." "Do you know how fast you were going?" " No." "Do you?" "Show me your license, please." "And the registration papers, please." "I'm sorry about this, officer." "My friend seems to have thrown them out." "You live in Rome, Mr Hoger?" " Yes." "Your date of birth?" " 14/6 nineteen... '39." "You don't seem too sure about it." " It was a long time ago." "And?" "They're holding him in Moabit jail." "We have to get him out." " I'll help." "Me too." "How?" "Tying sheets together?" "You can write about it afterwards." "That's all you're good for." "Perhaps Andreas should just serve the ten months." "Shit!" "Freeing Prisoners is what we're always talking about." "We'll show the pigs what we can do, if they lock up our people." "We're getting Andy out!" "Now!" "We can't visit him in prison anyway." "You'll be a publisher." "We'll get in with a book contract." "Good day." "This is Dr Gretel Weitemeier, who will be publishing our book." "Pleased to meet you." " The pleasure's all mine." "Are you insane?" "Man, it only fires tear gas." "Looks real though, eh?" "Where did you get that?" " from Gudrun." "We've got a lot of things, now." " And who is "we"?" "I cannot say." "Well, I can:" "Gudrun, Astrid, Ingrid." "I bought some Asprin." " Ulrike." "She's only the decoy." "You told me you wouldn't be involved!" "What is your part?" "Well?" "Mahler arranged for Andreas and I to visit the Sociological Institute... to research our book." " They're allowing him out for that?" "With a Police escort, of course." " That's where we come in." "Inside the Institute, we stick guns in the cops' faces... and away runs Baader." " And you?" "I stand back and look surprised." "That's all." "Now can we get on with dinner?" "But you're all female." "What if they don't take you seriously?" "Mahler knows some professionals." "We'll have help." "Mahler says... it'll be a piece of cake." " I don't believe it." "The cops have real guns, not like that piece of junk." "This is completely insane!" "I have to go through with it." "Mr Baader, in the event of an escape attempt, we are authorized to shoot." "I want to make sure you know that." " You needn't worry about it." "I've seen you on TV." " Hopefully I was interesting." "Yes, very." "Anything else you need?" " Thanks, I'll manage." "Hey." " Hey." "Sit down here." "Can I get a cup of coffee?" " Of course." "Are you married?" "Do you have any children?" " Yes, wife and child." "So, moving along." "We have..." "I told you yesterday, come back after noon today." "The reading room is occupied." " Then we'll wait here." "It's a long wait." " We have time." "In the following discussion..." "Go, quick." "Let's move." " What do you want here?" "Shit!" "Hands up!" " Up against the wall!" "C'mon, Kitty!" "Gudrun!" "Help me!" "Stay down!" "According to reports the kidnappers shot the doorman with tear gas" "They overpowered the guards and released Baader by force of arms." "My God, the children!" "Go, children, run." "Quickly." "We say:" "The uniform-wearer is a pig, not a human." "And so we treat it as such." "We will not negotiate with them." "It is wrong to talk at all with these people." "And of course, they may be shot when we consider it necessary." "The gun makes its statement." "It is possible, in our actions, our enemies may occasionally triumph." "But where it is important, they will not beat us." "Our success will belong to history." "Welcome to the camp!" " The attorney looks like Fidel Castro!" "Welcome, Andreas." "Hi, Gudrun." " Which way to Havana?" "This is Achmed, the Commander." "This is Gudrun and Andy." "The men sleep here, the women there!" " What?" "The rules of the camp." " Shit on that." "We sleep together!" "There!" "What's Ali Baba saying?" " Forget it." "Come." "It's all fine." "Sleep where you like." "All in this house here." "Fucking shit!" "This does not have anything to do with our job!" "We are urban guerrillas, understand?" "We don't fight in the desert!" "Tell that camel-jockey we fight against bank guards!" "French." "What are they laughing about?" " We're just admiring your trousers." "You've got them a little dirty." "I'll finish you off, you cocksucker." "Baby, leave it." "he's one of us." "He is not one of us." "He's only here because he's scared of the cops in Germany." "SICILY" "You're homesick, right?" "Which means you give up." " These people are fighting a war..." "What does our situation in Germany have to do with it?" "You can't force a revolution there, even with a Kalashnikov." "Germany is just one front." "We fight with comrades everywhere against injustice and oppression." "I thought you knew that." " And what about your children?" "You live underground." "Why bring them into it?" "Sooner or later it'll come out that I did not participate in the Baader escape." "Then I can go back legally." "I could take care of the children." "That sounds very much like betrayal." "Betrayal?" "Of whom?" "Look after yourself." "What now?" "Can't we have a little fun?" "He won't give us any more ammunition." " Then we go on strike." "What are they staring at?" " Probably never seen naked women before." "Hey, look who's here." "What does one do with a traitor?" "People's court." "What?" "He asks us to get dressed." " Why should we?"

"But those measures alone will not solve the problem." "The roots lie deeper." " Namely?" "The Israeli occupation of Palestine." "Nobody pays attention to that." "So the terrorists try to force the world to pay attention." "So you approve of their aims?" " Nadler, don't talk rubbish." "I never said that." "However, one must understand their motives." "So, you allow these murderers a special status?" "No!" "But we can't fight such forces rigidly." "And our ignorance promotes terrorism!" "It's true, but the question is... whether terrorism is the new form of war." "Whether it replaces conventional war, which does not take place any more." "I don't follow you." "What about the victims?" "Or their loved ones?" " I understand your anger." "But our duty is to fight terrorism." "And to do that we must understand the problems of the third world." "The Middle East conflict, the Vietnam war." "Understand these problems objectively!" "It feels like an explosion in the head." "Like the cell is full of pressure." "The one feeling I can't suppress." "Rage." "There is no release from the pressure." "That's the worst thing about isolation." "The clear knowledge that one does not have a chance of survival." "Today we begin a hunger strike." "We demand change to one of the prison conditions:" "Equal conditions for political prisoners to all other prisoners." "A hunger strike is our only way... to resist in solitary confinement." "The hunger strike is to show that we will not compromise." "We expect explosions in the prison system." "The goals must be set out so that each Rocker, so everyone, does not lose their sense of purpose." "That is, so that they do not break us." "We can say:" "Each 3rd week, or each 2nd or 4th week, whatever... one of us will die." "And so on, until the isolation, until the torture for all is waived." "But the hunger strike will only work if we all stick to it together" "Until our demands are met." "Even if some of us die." "Counselor, just a few minutes." "The prisoner is very much weakened." "Gudrun wrote to me." "This is our goal." "You decide it, when you die." "Freedom or death." "Just in case, if I pass from this life," "It's murder." "If the pigs keep this up, it's murder." "Do not believe the lies of murderers." "Get me a cigarette." "I don't know what will happen, I should die." "If I'm killed." "What next?" "That's it." "Which side is right?" "It's not so clear." "The final battle to free mankind from the pigs." "The revolutionary struggle." "With love for life and with contempt for death." "I serve the people." "Get the prison doctor here, now." " But it's the weekend." "Then get his assistant." " We don't have one." "Then call in an outside doctor." " We're not authorized." "He's dying in there!" "Get a doctor!" "Now!" "Unfortunately, we can't do a thing." "One day after the death of Holger Meins, of the Baader-Meinhof Group, who died while on hunger strike," "Berlin Chief Justice Drenkmann was shot dead in his home." "We do not shed tears for Drenkmann." "We are pleased by his execution." "...attacks on judges and lawyers who prosecuted the Anarchists." "Lawyers for Holger Meins today launched a wrongful death action..." "It was necessary, because each judge and cop must know... that they will be held responsible for their deeds." "That's Rudi Dutschke." "Holger, the fight goes on." "The trial of Baader and the others begins in 4 weeks, here in Stammheim." "The pictures are of the security wing on the 7th floor." "The prisoners will be kept here." " Men and women together?" "Indeed, they demanded it." " Outrageous." "So they will cooperate during the trial." " We provide a terror center!" "It's important that the trial goes smoothly." "We of the Federal Police can monitor the group's communications." "And we most certainly will." "Go!" "Go!" "Everyone out!" "Go!" "The German Embassy in Stockholm was occupied by terrorists today" "They threaten to kill hostages unless their demands are met." "The terrorists have released a statement to the German government." "Eye-witnesses reported shots." "The police closed off the area." "About 100 People reportedly remain in the embassy." "Emergency units are treating those who escaped the building" "A caller claiming to be a member of the RAF demanded the release..." "Authorities believe the attack is a last desperate attempt... to demand the release of RAF prisoners in Stammheim before the trial begins." "No fire in the cell!" " Kiss my arse." "We're leaving." "...will shoot one hostage every hour." "Storm the building and we blow up it." "We leave only... if our demands are fulfilled." "Withdraw or they blow it up!" "They refuse to withdraw." " Then we prove we're serious." "Translate." "I am von Mirbach, Military Attaché." "They will shoot me... if you do not withdraw." " Leave!" "Leave now!" "The first explosion occurred shortly before midnight." "In minutes the whole building was in flames, while the terrorists dug in." "The explosions followed each other closely... as police stormed the burning building." "The hostage drama, which ended last night in explosions and gunfire, has claimed at least three lives, two of them embassy staff." "Among them was Heinz Hillegaart, chief of the catering department." "It is still unclear whether he was shot, like Military Attache von Mirbach, or whether he died in the explosions." "The 3rd death was one of the terrorists." "Five terrorists were arrested:" "Siegfried Hausner, Bernhard Rössner," "Karl-Heinz Dellwo, Lutz Taufner and Hanna Krabbe." "What a shitty action." "Shitty action!" "The Swedish government delivered the captured terrorists to Germany." "Today the severely wounded Siegfried Hausner was flown to Stammheim." "I'll hold you responsible!" "If the prisoner dies, he'll be, after Holger Meins, the second to die in our custody." "With such incompetence we'll give the RAF another martyr!" "This is a prison." "We're not equipped for severely wounded people!" "We must keep him here." "Orders." " That's completely insane." "The two public defenders are sufficient for Mr Baader." "If he doesn't want them, too bad." "They do not defend me." "They never even spoke with me!" "Incidentally, someone has written "head off" beside my microphone." "Beside my microphone it says "head off"!" "What do you think it means?" "I don't know what it means." "I am unable to take part in this trial." "I am not nearly able, in this place, at this time," "I cannot say what..." "I mean..." "I can't tell..." "I request an examination for us, by an independent physician." "Rejected." "They say we're not isolated, because we have slightly larger cells." "I say:" "We were, up till a short time ago, completely isolated for the last 3 years!" "Our only human contact was through a tiny slot in the cell door." "Someone stood behind the door and wrote." " I rule you out of order!" "Why do you change my notes suddenly, without explanation?" "Because that things you write have no power." "There's no need to do that." "You jump on my errors and go on and on about it." "I could write a book on your foolishness." "Guard!" "Your tired act, I'm sick of it." "I've had my fill of this." "You're driving me crazy!" "Really, I don't get it." "What's their problem, the bitches?" "It's the last straw that they allowed Hausner to die." "They're not fooling anyone." " You're a bullshit revolutionary!" "We have to get out of here." "It's not easy to recruit new troops after Stockholm." "You argue with your emotion, you shitty egoist!" "You have no clue!" "Not a clue!" "Piss off!" "Piss off, arsehole!" "Get us out of here, you sow!" "Get us out of here!" "Sow!" "Arsehole!" "Get us out of here, you sow!" "Mrs Meinhof, you are obliged to remain." "The accusations against you stand." "You can't force me, arsehole." "I decide that, "arsehole" or not." "It's about time you admitted it." "The accused is today excluded," "Because she called the chairman an "arsehole"." "Then you also exclude me." " That's not for you to decide!" "Does it come to physical force?" " Sit!" "Sit down in your place." "Go on with your ridiculous procedure." "I'll disturb it so long as I'm here." "Do we really need to hear it?" "I'll say it too:" "You're a fascist arsehole!" "We can't defend ourselves so we refuse to participate." "Old sow." "You... you are deranged!" "Did I hear you call me an "old sow"?" "Did I hear that right, or am I mistaken?" "I want it to be carefully noted!" "And you, Mr Baader," "You called me a "fascist arsehole"." "Filthy rat." "The defendants are excused." "This court adjourns for consultation." "Ulrike, how is she?" "Very dark." "A Vampire, trembling with bloodlust." "Ulrike tries to laugh, it doesn't work." "Necrophile." "Hysteric." "Really absolutely ugly me." "Although I still say my reason hasn't left me." "It's separate from me." "This is shit." "She gives me false information." "Gudrun transcribes it wrong." "Why do you do that?" "Is it because you want to torment me?" "I return the agony." "An eye for an eye." "I don't look at it." "I can't bear it." "I am not a witch, but I am sometimes brutal." "Don't pretend." "You hate us." "It's obvious." "So stop eating, until you're better, or go to the Devil." "How are we to attain our goals, if we blow workers up?" "Show the reports you wrote on us." " I know, Springer was an error." "That went against our aims." " We've discussed this a thousand times." "We've been through this!" "Many times!" " The action was counter revolutionary!" "Real revolutionaries would have shot you for that!" "The question is:" "How can an isolated prisoner... make the authorities recognize that his behavior has changed?" "How?" "In isolation, the prisoner can't show that his behavior has changed." "There's only one possibility." "And that is betrayal." "The prisoner in isolation has no other chance." "So there are two possibilities." "I will speak now!" "A prisoner can be silent, and die, or a prisoner can talk." "That is confession and betrayal." "And based on this fact, the Federal High Court resolution makes a clear and definite statement." "That is torture." "Designed to force confessions." "To confuse, demoralize, and punish." "You're the knife in the back of the RAF." "Because you never learn." "It is mysterious, if I say I can't bear it?" "I don't bear it any more." "That is what I can't bear." "We are responsible for the attacks on CIA headquarters... on the 5th US Corps in Frankfurt and on US headquarters in Heidelberg." "We are also responsible for the bombing of the Springer building." "Beyond that, we have no knowledge." "We had no part in the planning or the execution of any other actions." "The Anarchist Ulrike Meinhof took her own life." "She was found dead this morning in her cell in Stuttgart-Stammheim." "Ulrike Meinhof, that was murder!" "The 41-year-old hung herself with a towel tied to the window bars." "There will be an autopsy later today." "The 109th day of the hearing in Stammheim was unusually crowded this morning." "The court-appointed defense counsels made a request... to adjourn the trial for 10 days." "To investigate whether Ulrike Meinhof really committed suicide." "We believe Ulrike was executed." "We don't know how, but we know who." "Chief Federal Prosecutor Buback said:" ""The State protects those who support the State." "Herold and I always find a way."" " These defamatory remarks..." "It was a coldly conceived execution!" "Like Holger Meins and Siegfried Hausner!" "The execution of Ulrike now!" "Fascist!" "Murderer!" " Silence!" "Under your jurisdiction as judges two prisoners out of five were killed!" "Why were Schubert, Möller and Mohnhaupt brought to Stammheim?" "The public prosecutor's office gave in to the pressure of public opinion." "I allowed it, in order to prevent further suicides." "Baader und Ensslin..." "RAF prisoners were allowed to transfer to Stammheim." "Time's up!" "Return to your cells!" " Stop eating." "Mohnhaupt will be free in 7 Months." "Those jerks guaranteed it." "Baader and Ensslin probably insisted on it." "Lovely to see you." "Are you Charlie?" "I want to talk with him alone." "Andreas and Gudrun trust you." " How are they?" "They're shitty!" "We must get them out of there, soon." "Before they end up like Ulrike und Holger." "A few think we should hijack a 747 and circle it over Bonn." "With an ultimatum to exchange our people in 6 to 8 hours." "Then let it fall." "In the middle of Bonn." "We heard of that plan." "No." "No actions against the people." "We stick with the kidnappings." "How far advanced are you?" "Ready to go." "Here, before I forget it..." "I brought this for you." "Nearly 5 years prison..." " It's a long time."

"We found coded operational plans on him." "Big arsehole." "HM Auschecken." "Margarine." "What is your conclusion?" "Siegfried, we're expecting an act of revenge against you." "On 7.4.77 the Kommando Ulrike Meinhof executed Chief Federal Prosecutor Buback." "Siegfried Buback was directly responsible for the murder of Holger Meins," "Siegfried Hausner, and Ulrike Meinhof." "As Chief Federal Prosecutor, he ordered their murders." "Under Bubacks regime, Holger on 9.11.74." "was murdered by starvation." "Under Bubacks regime, Ulrike on 9.5.76." "was illegally executed, in a faked suicide by hanging." "Under our laws, for which Ulrike fought, justice was done." "We will not allow our comrades to be murdered," "We will show the authorities that when prisoners continue to fight, killing them will not solve the problem." "Kommando Ulrike Meinhof." "We could not protect him." " I ask myself:" "Why do new terror units always develop?" "What motivates them?" "A myth." "Come on in, Mr Ponto is expecting you." "Thanks." "You brought a whole committee." " I wanted to show them your place." "My friends." "Klara." " Good day." "Gerd." " Herr Ponto, shall I stay?" "No, you may go." "Come outside." "What a lovely surprise." "I'll be with you in a moment." "I'll put those in a vase." "Sit down." "Klara." "Go to the exit." "Come along." " Are you mad?" "You are a prisoner of the RAF." " Are you mad?" "Go, get out!" "I didn't want that!" "How do I explain to my parents?" "We agreed, no guns!" "And only a tap on the head, if he resists." "We wanted to kidnap him!" " Why are you here?" "To play the female Robin Hood without getting your hands dirty?" "You crybaby!" "You sign the claim of responsibility." " No!" "Never!" "On the execution of Ponto, we say:" "It is a clear warning to those types." "If you wage war on the people, then war will be waged on you." "Susanne Albrecht, soldier of the RAF." "The door stays open!" "We do not accept locked doors!" "Hey!" "No locked doors!" "Now you'll have the war you wanted!" "You pigs!" "You filthy pigs!" "Let me go." "Idiot." "Fucking shitty cops!" "You wanker!" "Fucking leave her alone!" "You sow!" "Let go!" "How much longer?" " Soon." "Nearly done." "229, 12th line, 4th word." "9, 10, 11, 12... 3,4." "Finished." "We forestalled our planned liquidation." "We retain our identity." ""We know there is a concrete plan to kill us." "Surrender is impossible." "You must hurry." "We do not need to say more."" "That is clear." "If we do nothing, they've given us straight facts." "What "straight facts"?" " It's very clear, OK?" "If we don't get them out immediately, they're dead." "Now what?" " Schleyer goes on vacation tomorrow." "For how long?" " Several weeks." "Then let's do it tomorrow." "Why not?" "We'll have to do it the hard way." " What's that mean?" "Hard?" "It means we shoot the escorts, all of them, to get to Schleyer." "The SEK are armed and trained." "It'll be a combat situation." "The driver isn't SEK, though." " You miserable wanker!" "The prisoners will be murdered!" " Stop it!" "Let's get our plan in order." " I can't do this." "I can't be a part of this." " OK." "Then you better leave now." "We need to discuss plans." "They don't concern you anymore." "Brigitte, you can't do this." "If you're captured again..." "I am in charge here." "We'll discuss that later." "Now let's find out who's willing to do it the hard way." "What about you?" "It's safe to assume... that Schleyer is being held within 20 km of the scene." "Less than two hours ago it happened." "Five weeks after the murder of the banker Ponto... an assassination attempt on Hanns Martin Schleyer." "Four police officers from the escort were killed." "The search for the attackers continues." "Schleyer is not among the dead." "It is obvious... that the terrorists have kidnapped him." "The manhunt goes on." "All the official parties condemned the attack on Schleyer." "Now you have a problem." "Now you have a big problem!" "Their reign of terror has not yet ended." "And they are feeling triumphant now." "But they must make no mistake." "...the Siegfried Hausner Kommando... has taken the president of the employers association, Hanns Martin Schleyer, prisoner." "The will of the German people is not broken." "They're sealing us in!" " They're doing what?" "A Lufthansa airliner has been hijacked." "The aircraft was en route from Majorca to Frankfurt, but was diverted to Rome." "86 passengers, mostly Germans, are on board."

"I Have, so far, been treated well by my captors..." "Pressure on the government is growing... as the hijackers demand the release of political prisoners... including the RAF prisoners in Stammheim." "As the hijack drama continues reported to have shot the pilot threatened to kill one passenger every 5 minutes..." "The Pope has sent a plea for the release of the passengers." "At Aden airport, passengers and crew swap for prisoners have arrived in Cairo prisoners in his country will be emergency landing!"

"We have no control over the actions of those outside." "We will be judged by generations to come." "If Schleyer escapes, good." "I'm tired of it." "I wish to request... materials to make a will." "The full legal documents, if possible." "And I'd like some help in filling it out properly." "But Miss Ennslin..." "With that done, I will no longer fear my fate." "But surely you don't feel that you are in danger?" "I could die at any time." "You know what is going on outside... that they're trying to get us out of here." "That fight has international dimensions." "What are you getting at?" "I ask you this:" "Wouldn't they prefer to see me vanish?" "Many states would want that." "In Western industrial countries the power structures... are not so secure that they would wish... to encourage a new wave of resistance groups to develop." "What is your influence on the current situation?" "Free us, and the current actions will be successful." "Would the government want that to happen?" "The judges and the politicians, they want to avoid that at all costs." "Miss Ennslin, I hope we can continue to meet." "Farewell, father." "We have just received confirmation... the Lufthansa terrorist hijacking has ended... with all of the 86 passengers safely rescued." "A spokesman for the Ministry of the Interior has confirmed... that a German anti-terrorist squad stormed the plane last night." "The Bonn government has issued a statement..."
