"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."

"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?"

"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."

"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." "In 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 Israeli 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 held the 105 passengers and crew of the Air France Airbus hijacked last week." "The surprise attack lasted only an hour." "In Entebbe, Israeli forces reportedly killed the entire pro-Palestinian commando." "Who are you meeting?" "That guy, Michel." " Carlos, right?" " I don't know." "You know the rules." "No questions asked." "Can I have a whisky?" "Angie?" "Anyone home?" "Who brought you here?" "Don't panic." "I'm all alone." "Why shouldn't I panic?" "No one knows I'm here." "Right, no one... except your friends." "Aren't I still a friend?" "I don't know." "It depends." "Carlos is leaving Haddad." "Haddad fired him." "Baghdad has a new government." "They need us." "They're willing to pay." "And very well." "Iraqi money doesn't interest me." "I joined the armed struggle to attack the capitalist system." "Not to spread terror." "Understand?" "Not to be hired by the PFLP or Baghdad." "The PFLP has been very generous with us." "They help our struggle." "We help theirs." "You can keep believing that crap." "I'm through." "I won't go to Aden." "I'm not at war and I'll receive orders from no one." "You know too much." "Names." "Places." "Secrets." "You could endanger the whole network." "I know how it works." "I'll stay hidden until I'm forgotten." "I doubt Wadie Haddad would risk it." " He'll have you killed." " If that's my fate..." "You're as good as dead." "I'm no rat." "I know." "But cops have sophisticated methods." "Torture." "Drugs." "If they want you to talk, you'll talk." "You say you're my friend." "I trust you." "But if Haddad says to, you'll kill me with no misgivings." "Right?" "That's why I'm no longer with you." "And it's why, once you leave, I'll disappear." "You'll never find me again." "Check this out." "Know what's inside?" "My revolver." "And my resignation from the armed struggle." "Do you give names?" "But I say what I know." "About plans to attack 2 Jewish community leaders." "If I shut up, I'll never forgive myself!" "Boni..." "Boni separated the Jews at Entebbe like in Auschwitz!" "I'm an enemy of Zionism." "I've proved it." "But anti-Semitism: count me out." "I thought you were alone." "Run." "Anything to declare?" "Open the trunk." "As you know, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is a loyal ally of the Palestinian cause." "I've worked with some of you." "You know me as well." "The USSR is a fearsome enemy to those who betray its cause." "For them, there is but one sentence:" "death." "The Egyptian president, Anwar El Sadat, has benefited from our generosity for many years." "He has bowed down before American imperialism and has become the manservant of the Zionists who occupy your holiest lands." "Bear in mind, gentlemen, whoever carries out the aforementioned sentence will benefit from our unlimited financial support." "Let's hope for the best." "There's a woman waiting for you." " It was quick." " Leukemia kills quickly." "So does poison." "The General is waiting." " Have a good trip?" " Excellent." "He won't be much longer." "What kind of surgery?" "Plastic." "Liposuction." "For his love handles." "We know him, but not by name." "Our services call him the phantom." "Now you can put a name on him." "That of a murderer." "There's a warrant out for him." "He killed two of our men and committed attacks all over Europe." "He must be judged in France." "You can't go home." "Too risky." "Your enemies have your address." "How?" "The Syrians never forgave you for cutting off contact." "Sold me to the U.S.?" "Maybe." "You're protected by our guide, Hassan Al-Tourabi." "You'll stay near his residence." "His guards will watch over you." "Can you lower your pyjamas?" "You have any news?" "How long are we staying here?" "Probably several days." "We have no information." "It's a state secret." "It's in the hands of the National Islamic Front." "And here?"
