"Don't you want some sparkling wine?" "Not even a donut?" "Stuttgart:" "In a shootout with the police this morning... the journalist and alleged terrorist..." "Ulrike Meinhof was shot and killed." " As Mr Hauser said, we are against war in general, but we actively support those people who try to free themselves from terror and violence, and when there's no other means but war, we support their war." " Meinhof opened fire on two officers who stopped her car for a routine check." "Stuttgart:" "The woman who was killed in a shootout this morning was not, as mistakenly reported, Ulrike Meinhof." "It was the 20-year-old sociology student Karin Rubner." "Until now, Rubner had only been regarded as a sympathizer..." "When the time is ripe for revolution, it's too late to prepare it." "Hans and I have a plan." "First we'll set off bombs all over West Germany." "So the enemy will concentrate its defenses... around useless targets." "Then we'll kidnap the commanders of Berlin's West Sector." "The British, the French and the American commanders." "All at the same time." "Morning." "Gentlemen, madame..." "More than every other organ of state, the police are confronted with reality." "Here, social inadequacies and structural defects are revealed for the first time." "Thanks to the police, a system could be developed which would anticipate problems... before they appear... and become dangerous." "As the Federal Police Chief," "I regard this to be our job." "To know what we know." "Stuttgart:" "After a 20-minute chase today, Stuttgart's police were able to arrest the terrorist Inga Schellmann." "You take the guns, I take the money." " A gas-station attendant recognized... the 26-year-old dental assistant..." " Brigadier Jean Louis Gorin, fought in Algeria, adviser to de Gaulle." "Has relatives in Alsace." "Speaks little German." "His wife is presently in France." "He takes the same route to headquarters every day." "The driver is unarmed." "The General carries an automatic." "At the corner, the car will be stopped by an obstacle." "The American John Robson is accompanied by an armed soldier." "Brigadier Robson was wounded in the leg while serving in Korea." "Major General Russel Metty, Commander of the British Sector." "2 daughters." "He brings one to school." "We'll nab him then." "We let the girl go." "Your data processing will cost us 50 million." "What can you do for us?" "The money will indirectly aid the RAF investigation." "RAF?" " The Red Army Faction." "They feel they are part of the global revolution, a faction of the Red Army." "I want you to steer the investigation." " That's not the Federal Police's job." "When Baader and Meinhof are locked up, you can do all the research you like." "They've organized everything so it goes on even without them." "The mobile cadres are moving all over Germany with stolen cars and forged papers." " And they shoot without warning." "And now?" "Now they probably need more "M"..." "as in money." "That little bit of money, the cars and the papers we allegedly stole... not even the murder attempt..." " Hi there." "This is a holdup!" "We don't use our weapons recklessly." "We shoot when shot at." "We'd have freed the prisoner, even if we'd known... someone would be shot." " You have no idea what it's like to be old and ill." "The question as to..." ""what would have happened if", is multi-faceted, pacifist, platonic..." "Your car registration and license." "Let's get outta here." "...which is why the internal discussion must be carried out." "US imperialism is no less aggressive, but less easily attacked." "Imperialism's political possibilities... have not yet been exhausted, neither..." "That little bit of money, the cars, and the papers we allegedly stole don't justify the campaign against us, not even the murder attempt they are trying to charge us with can justify this dance." "We don't use our weapons recklessly." "We shoot when shot at." "The cop who lets us go... we let go." "The Allensheimer Institute, worshipped by fucking liberals, did a survey:" ""Baader-Meinhof: criminals or heroes?"" "The results showed that 25 percent sympathize with us." "That means 15 million alone in the FRG." " The cop had a gun." "The cop isn't our enemy." "15 million sympathize with us." "In the FRG alone, 15 million sympathize with us." "Great." " Yeah." "It's really great." "The survey shows that lots of people are familiar with the RAF's ideas." "If you kill a cop, do you think anybody's gonna understand it?" "I'm no intellectual." " Oh hell!" "You gotta use your stupid brain." "Or you'll end up behind bars again... and the rest of us will, too." "Heinrich Böll describes the RAF's fight as a declaration of war... made by desperate intellectuals, 6 versus 60 million." "He wouldn't have a reason to say so if we'd gone public immediately." "You really should make a statement." " That's not my job." "I'm just a policeman." " I have to go." "We should increase the pressure." " But how?" "Yes, how?" " We can say, Baader wants to turn himself in." "Yes, make sure they report it today." " It's Christmas Eve." "Then tomorrow." "Merry Christmas." " Merry Christmas." "I'd never turn myself in." "The only good news worth reporting about us:" "Arrested or dead." "The battle has just begun." "His signature..." "Fingerprint." "There's no doubt about his identity." "The federal police have confirmed the suspect's fingerprint." "No, Baader isn't turning himself in." "That's been denied." "As soon as the Minister gets up..." "I see." "Baader's BMW was seen on the A3 heading towards Frankfurt." "He's getting uneasy now." "He feels the pinch." "It's urgent." " And all because we reported it." "...opened fire on a police officer..." "...for arson, several bank robberies..." "If he leaves the Autobahn, he'll have to take the B9." "I want every radio station and the police radio to report that the police are checking cars heading to Frankfurt on the Autobahn." "Should I go with you?" "Think up a good explanation in case everything goes wrong." "Chief!" "Traffic heading towards Frankfurt is backed up... while police are checking cars." "A police spokesman said... that they will continue until early tomorrow." "Kalle Roßmann and Mario are going to testify as witnesses." "Somebody always squeals." "It was the same with Jesus and his 12 Apostles." "Who's there?" " Krone." "Kurt Krone." "Throw your gun in the Opel." "Oh, Krone!" "I don't believe it." "I bet you're all alone here, right?" "And nobody knows about it." "You never sleep, do you?" " You don't either." "You take too many stimulants." "Captagon and Effortil." "The computer knows that." " What d'you need a computer for?" "You got it all in your head." " Computers don't drink coffee... and smoke significantly less." " Did the computer also report that I'd turn myself in?" " And that you read Mickey Mouse." "So what?" "It's true." "This is great." "Can I have it?" "You don't stand a chance." " Says the computer." "One day we'll be faster than you." " What does the computer say about a guy who spends months heading for his death?" "Consciously... like a projectile." " It couldn't handle it." "The computer is only romantic in part." " A guy like a projectile, the ultimate weapon of his own politics." "That's a guerilla." "I confront you with a fully automatic system." "Prognosis:" "In the end, terrorism will defeat itself." "You need us to step up your armament." " We just accepted the challenge... to wage war." " And you need me to intensify the existing contradictions." "To deepen the gap... between the State and the masses." " I, Kurt Krone, am the man who has to conduct war." "Give me an organization, power, and money." "If you hadn't killed anyone, you might have achieved your goal." "Rudi Dutschke could have succeeded." "The time just wasn't ripe yet." "He could have toppled the State." "But nobody should have been killed." "Everyone does his best." "Yes, everyone does what he does best." "You will have your war, Krone." "And there's gonna be a real big bang." "First we'll set off bombs all over West Germany." "So the enemy will concentrate its defenses around useless targets." "Then we'll kidnap the commanders of Berlin's West Sector." "Let's go." "3 bombs exploded in the entrance and in the officers' mess." "13 people were injured, and a lieutenant colonel was killed." "Responsibility was claimed by the "Commando Karin Rubner"." "The strategists who are eradicating Vietnam will no longer be safe in West Germany and West Berlin." "A policeman was killed in a shootout this evening." "Shots were exchanged in front of this apartment where the alleged terrorist Victor Schauer was badly injured." "The wife of Federal Judge Kiessler was seriously injured today when a bomb exploded." "The judge is investigating..." "I can only achieve anything if I am given jurisdiction over every policeman." "I also demand telephone surveillance of every contact, informers to infiltrate the gang, a publicity campaign to counteract the media's constant attempt to play down the danger, and the unleashing of public animosity towards the gang." "At the Springer Publishing Co." "3 further bombs were defused." "In a letter signed by the RAF, the terrorists apologized for the fact that employees were injured in this morning's assault..." "Heidelberg." "A bomb explosion at the US Army's European Headquarters took the lives of 3 soldiers." "5 others were injured, some seriously."

"The rightists call for Mr Law and Order." " Operation "Water Beat"... is set to begin." " I hope it isn't a washout." "I don't expect anything to turn up during the manhunt." "Is the State demonstrating its power?" " By beating on the water, I'm trying to drive the fish into the net." " What do these photos show?" "Most of the buildings are being observed by borrowed surveillance organizations." "By what?" " That's the problem." "Borrowed teams from the BND." "Originally not planned by the lawmakers." "What's he doing?" " He's exchanging explosives... for harmless bone meal." " I know nothing about it!" "As part of the police operation..." "Those pigs are everywhere!" " We have to stop somewhere." "It's too risky if we keep on driving." " Just look at yourself." "4 people were killed and 64 injured..." "What?" " The way you look." "How do I look?" "How?" "Like a terrorist slut." "Got any lipstick?" "Here." "Better?" "Damn it!" "Goddamn it!" " I don't believe it." "Stop and pull over." "I'm Baader." "One false move, and I'll pull the trigger." "It's really not worth it." "Everything okay?" "Everything's fine." "You can drive on." "As part of the operation "Water Beat", the police has set up..." "The operation will take place in 2 days, on July 2nd." "Exactly 5 years after Benno Ohnesorg." "After we kidnap the city's commanders, the whole world will know." "Our comrades will leave their prisons." "On TV, people will see them in Jordan," "Yemen or in Cuba with their raised fists." "And the State's monopoly on the use of power will be broken." "We are going to take over surveillance." "We'll take a 3-hour break... and meet back here at seven." "This is a clever trap!" "Krone speaking..." "I'll be right there." "Make sure they don't get killed." "Throw your guns out, and come out with your hands up and bare-chested." " Topless?" "Give up!" "It's useless..." "At least 50 guns are pointing at us." "Krone here." "I am taking command of this operation." "Stop firing!" "Don't anybody shoot." "I want all firing to stop." "I wanna talk to Jule, my daughter!" "You aren't gonna bite the dust." " I'm gonna write a book for Jule." "Gun Talk." "Let's get outta here, okay?" "We'll never make it." " Bullshit." "Of course we will." "See you in Hanoi." " Havanna." "Okay, man, Havanna." "Now let those guns talk!" "No shooting." "Don't anybody shoot!" "That's Andreas Baader." "Don't anybody shoot!" "Aim at his legs." "We want him alive." "It is a terrible thing to kill." "We'd kill not only others but we'd kill ourselves as well, if the need arose." "For violence is the only means whereby this deadly world may be changed, as every living being knows."
