679 00:30:02 Marianne.
680 00:30:03 [MANFRED SPEAKING GERMAN]
681 00:30:05 The perpetrators demand
682 00:30:06 that 200 persons be released...
683 00:30:10 who are in Israeli hands.
684 00:30:12 If these 200 personsare not released,
685 00:30:15 they will shoot one hostageevery hour starting at noon.
686 00:30:20 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
687 00:30:21 Can't you tell us somethingwe don't know?
688 00:30:22 MARIANNE: Someone's askingthe chief of police
689 00:30:24 if he thinks it was a mistake
690 00:30:26 that the Olympic Villagehad no armed police.
691 00:30:29 Of course it was!
692 00:30:32 I guess they didn't wantthe world to be reminded
693 00:30:35 of the last timearmed Germans patrolled fences.
694 00:30:37 So, Germany's makeover is moreimportant than people's safety?
695 00:30:41 C'mon. This isn't our business.That is our business.
696 00:30:44 And in less than an hour,we go live.
697 00:30:46 ROONE: We're not givingthis story to News.
698 00:30:48 MALE VOICE: [OVER PHONE]But why?Well, because we're in Munich.
699 00:30:50 We're a 100 yards... awayfrom where it's happening.
700 00:30:53 MALE VOICE:Roone, just leave it.We're not giving it to anyone.
701 00:30:55 Yeah, Sports is keeping this. MALE VOICE: Roone,this is just not your field.
702 00:30:57 It's just that News...That's it.
703 00:30:58 [PHONE CLATTERS]
704 00:31:00 [PHONE RINGING IN DISTANCE]
705 00:31:02 PETER: [OVER PHONE]Now it looks like
706 00:31:05 German politicians
707 00:31:06 and the leader in the white suitare talking.
708 00:31:09 Whatever they're discussing,
709 00:31:10 honestly, I can't imaginethe Prime Minister Golda Meir
710 00:31:12 and the Knesset will respondin any way to blackmail.
711 00:31:16 It's so ironic.
712 00:31:17 I've been the Middle East expertin Beirut for five years,
713 00:31:20 and yet,I have never gotten this close
714 00:31:22 to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Hang on one second, Peter.
715 00:31:24 Can we get his voice livewhen we go on air?
716 00:31:26 I'll give it a shot.
717 00:31:28 MARVIN: Jennings, this is Bader.
718 00:31:29 Any idea how many Palestiniansare inside?
719 00:31:32 PETER: We've seen a lot of headspopping out of windows.
720 00:31:35 These menare definitely professionals.
721 00:31:37 I suspectthey're deliberately trying
722 00:31:39 to create confusion.
723 00:31:42 There's a second commandoon the balcony now,
724 00:31:44 brandishing his submachine gunlike a threat.
725 00:31:47 Fucking Arabs.JACQUES: Hey, watch it.
726 00:31:49 My mother is from Algeria.
727 00:31:51 I'm not talkingabout your mother.
728 00:31:52 Hey. Come on.Just the bad Arabs?
729 00:31:54 PETER: Whatever conceptionyou have of Arabia or Arabs,
730 00:31:58 you need to understandhow sensitive this situation is.
731 00:32:01 This is no longer the Olympics.
732 00:32:02 Thank you, Peter,for, uh, clarifying.
733 00:32:05 It does bring upa good question. [HESITATES]
734 00:32:08 What should we call themon the air?
735 00:32:10 PETER: In News, we would referto them as commando guerrillas.
736 00:32:14 Commando? That sounds likewe're in Vietnam or something.
737 00:32:16 What was it they called themon German radio?
738 00:32:19 "Terrorists."ROONE: What was that?
739 00:32:21 They used "terrorists."
740 00:32:23 Okay. Let's...let's go with that.
741 00:32:26 PETER: That's a charged term.
742 00:32:28 PETER:Terrorism is the organized
743 00:32:31 of violence against civiliansto affect a political goal.
744 00:32:35 Isn't that pretty muchwhat's happening here?
745 00:32:37 PETER: Nobody knows yetwhat is happening here.
746 00:32:40 So we have to be very carefulabout everything we say on air.
747 00:32:44 No offense guys,but you're Sports.
748 00:32:47 You're in way over your head.News should take over.
749 00:32:50 [OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
750 00:32:52 [SIGHS] Peter, just call us backin a couple of minutes.
751 00:32:59 [GROANS]
752 00:33:02 He might be right.
753 00:33:04 Okay, look, I knowthis isn't a responsibility
754 00:33:06 that everyone wants.
755 00:33:07 But does it make more sense
756 00:33:09 to have a talking headfrom News take over
757 00:33:11 from halfway acrossthe fucking world?
758 00:33:14 Our job is to tell the storiesof these individuals,
759 00:33:18 whose lives are at stake,100 yards away.
760 00:33:21 And our jobis really straightforward.
761 00:33:24 We put the camerain the right place,
762 00:33:27 and we follow the storyas it unfolds in real time.
763 00:33:32 News can tell uswhat it all meant
764 00:33:33 after it's over.And I'm sure they're gonna try.
765 00:33:36 But this is our story.
766 00:33:39 And we're keeping it.

810 00:36:28 Is the noon deadline confirmed?
811 00:36:31 Uh, yeah.
812 00:36:34 What do I tell the cameras?
813 00:36:36 MARVIN: [HESITATES]What do you mean?
814 00:36:38 I mean, can we show someonebeing shot on live television?

824 00:37:09 to see their kid executedon live television.Of course not, Marv--

827 00:37:16 So I'm pretty surethey'll watch.
828 00:37:17 Well, someone should tell themnot to watch it.
829 00:37:19 But we havea bigger responsibility here.
830 00:37:21 What about the sponsors?
831 00:37:22 The sponsorsare not gonna be concerned.
832 00:37:24 All they care about are viewers.Guys. We have two minutes.

839 00:37:38 Black September,
840 00:37:40 they know that the whole worldis watching, right?
841 00:37:41 That's why they chosethe Olympics.
842 00:37:43 If, I'm saying if,they shoot someone
843 00:37:46 on live television...
844 00:37:49 Right, whose story is that?
845 00:37:51 Is it ours, or is it theirs?
846 00:37:55 How about this?If things get tense,
847 00:37:58 we only leavethe 16 millimeter running.
848 00:37:59 That gives usplenty of time to decide
849 00:38:01 whether we air it or not.
850 00:38:04 Yeah, that's it.

893 00:39:43 Two shots in the head,one in the stomach.
894 00:39:46 They've been holding14 others hostage since then,
895 00:39:49 and the latest reportis that one more
896 00:39:51 has been killed. Ready two. Take two.
897 00:39:52 Peter Jenningsis inside the Village.
898 00:39:54 Let's go to Peter now.
899 00:39:56 PETER: [OVER PHONE]Jim, I'm directly across
900 00:39:57 from the Israeli building.
901 00:39:59 It will be a famous numberbefore long.
902 00:40:02 Thirty-one.It is on Connollystrasse.
903 00:40:05 The reports herevary dramatically
904 00:40:07 as to what is going on.
905 00:40:08 JIM: Peter, do we already know
906 00:40:10 who is responsiblefor the attack?
907 00:40:11 PETER: [BREATHES DEEPLY]There is a great deal
908 00:40:14 one could indulge in,
909 00:40:15 which would be risky,but if I were to guess,
910 00:40:17 I would most likely narrow in
911 00:40:19 on a groupcalled Black September.
912 00:40:21 That, however,is pure speculation.Back to one.
913 00:40:24 JIM: Something thatis not speculation
914 00:40:25 is that one of the hostages
915 00:40:27 is David Berger, 26 years old,a former United States citizen,
916 00:40:31 we are told by the Israelis.Moved there about two years ago.
917 00:40:34 He's inthe light heavyweight class.Roll tape one.

919 00:40:37 from Columbia University...ASSISTANT DIRECTOR:Five, four...

922 00:40:44 he emigrated to Israel.Two days ago,
923 00:40:46 he was interviewedby Peter Jennings
924 00:40:48 for an ABC color piece.Hit it.
925 00:40:50 That's what the Olympicsare all about, you know.
926 00:40:53 We're here,we can talk to Germans, uh,
927 00:40:55 chat with athletesfrom Lebanon or Egypt.
928 00:40:58 This is whatwe've been dreaming about.
929 00:41:00 You know. It's not just sports.
930 00:41:05 Back to one. Clean.[BUTTON CLICKS]

933 00:41:12 And now.JIM: Ladies and gentlemen,
934 00:41:15 these dreams have been shattered
935 00:41:16 by this terrible,terrible attack.
936 00:41:18 The terrorists have demandedthe release of some 200
937 00:41:22 Arab guerrilla prisonersin Israel
938 00:41:23 in exchange for the livesof Israeli athletes.
939 00:41:26 And they had seta deadline of noon,
940 00:41:28 saying that they weregoing to kill
941 00:41:29 all of their hostagesat that time.
942 00:41:31 That deadline obviouslyhas passed,

948 00:42:03 Well, if the terroristsunderestimate her like you do,
949 00:42:06 she probably has a chanceto get information.
950 00:42:10 Just look.
951 00:42:12 She's asking himfor a cigarette.
952 00:42:14 No, no, no.She's earning his trust.

960 00:42:36 JIM: Within 200 yardsfrom where that building is,
961 00:42:38 there is a kind ofa man-made pond,
962 00:42:39 not a formal swimming pool,
963 00:42:41 but a very lovely pond,with a little dock,
964 00:42:43 where the athletes lie outand take sun.
965 00:42:44 And that's whatthey're doing right now.
966 00:42:46 They're out theresunning themselves,
967 00:42:48 talking about technique
968 00:42:49 with athletesof other countries.
969 00:42:51 And yet,this grim, terrible thing
970 00:42:53 is taking place insidethe Village.

1326 00:58:30 We don't even knowwhy they called it off.
1327 00:58:32 The Germans seemgenerally pretty overwhelmed.
1328 00:58:35 They are.
1329 00:58:36 I'm listeningto the police radio.
1330 00:58:38 It's local cops doing things
1331 00:58:39 they have never done before.[MUSIC FADES]
1332 00:58:41 The German Armygave them sniper rifles
1333 00:58:43 and had to instruct themon how to use them.
1334 00:58:46 Why doesn't the German Armyjust do it itself?
1335 00:58:48 They're not allowedto operate here.
1336 00:58:50 German constitution.That's ridiculous.
1337 00:58:51 The rumor is Israel offeredto send a special unit
1338 00:58:55 to help them out.And that Germany refused it.
1339 00:58:58 They are just makingone mistake after another.
1340 00:59:00 And trying to act
1341 00:59:01 like they'vegot it all under control.
1342 00:59:03 Let's keep going.

1389 01:01:18 Now he's dragged awayfrom the window,
1390 01:01:21 and the curtainsare closed again.
1391 01:01:25 Genscher is talkingto the leader.
1392 01:01:28 He seems furious.
1393 01:01:30 [INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
1394 01:01:32 GEOFF: What is she saying?
1395 01:01:34 Um, Genscher offeredto swap himself
1396 01:01:36 with the Israeli hostages,
1397 01:01:38 but the terrorists refusedthe offer. Um...
1398 01:01:42 Genscher insists on going insideto see how the hostages are.
1399 01:01:46 PETER:The leader's taking Genscher
1400 01:01:47 and another officialinto the apartment now.
1401 01:01:51 MARIANNE: Someone asked,um, if they already know

1413 01:02:17 "Tell... tell the leaderthat it takes time
1414 01:02:20 to prepare the plane."
1415 01:02:21 They mentioned two helicoptersto fly the hostages
1416 01:02:24 and the terroriststo the airport.
1417 01:02:26 What airport?Uh, they didn't say.
1418 01:02:28 PETER: They're coming back out.
1419 01:02:30 Genscher seems shocked.
1420 01:02:32 God only knowswhat horrors he saw in there.
1421 01:02:35 Uh, Cairo-- They... they saidCairo as their destination.
1422 01:02:37 Okay, listen up.We need to find out

1431 01:02:56 CARTER: Yeah.
1432 01:02:58 Riem's the obvious choice,but probably not,

1434 01:03:01 Augsburg?It's too far away.
1435 01:03:03 JIM:...nations around the world...

1507 01:05:38 The police are herein almost platoon-like numbers.
1508 01:05:41 We're building up towhat I think
1509 01:05:42 will be quite the climax.
1510 01:05:44 Okay, the bus just came in!
1511 01:05:46 They're bringing the hostagesto the bus.
1512 01:05:48 The terroristshave submachine guns.
1513 01:05:50 Pushing the young athletesonto the bus.

1532 01:06:37 HOWARD:The propellers are turning
1533 01:06:39 and the chopper is lifting off.
1534 01:06:41 These Israeli athletesare leaving the Olympic Village,
1535 01:06:44 not as free and proudcompetitors of their country,
1536 01:06:48 but as victimsof a brutal act of terror.
