Beirut Page #9

---

Karim, are we good?

Let him go.

And I thank you, brother.

- Rafid, no!

- Whoa!

- Curse me, do you?

- What's he doing?

- You're free, Rafid.

- Curse me now!

We're done here.

It's all good.

Rafid, put the gun--

Go, Mason. Go!

Rafid!

Rafid!

Move! Move!

Mason!

Mason, come on!

Grab my hand! Grab it!

All right, I got you.

Bernard! Great!

Get in! Get in!

Sandrine!

Get in! Good girl!

Okay, let's go!

Almost done here.

All right, you're all set.

I'll let you talk to Mason.

Okay.

You good?

I'll let you know

once these meds wear off.

How about you?

I'll let you know after I get a shower.

Think they'll ever find Karim?

Well, if he doesn't find us first.

I still cannot believe

you pulled this through, man.

I mean, I feel like I won the lottery.

You saved my life

and I got to see you again.

Let's not take so long to do it next time.

Okay?

I would like that.

Thank you, Cal.

That's the meds talking.

Are you up for a quick debrief

at the Embassy?

Am I gonna need a lawyer?

Yeah, well, it's more of a luncheon.

Ruzak gonna be there?

He's in the air back to DC.

He's got some powerful friends.

Who's in charge of the station?

Well, that job just opened up.

Don Gaines resigned this morning.

Not exactly sure why.

But we did come in on budget.

All I'm saying, Mason,

is that there is a general satisfaction

all around with the results here.

-Is that what you're saying?

-Things happened in haste.

People acted in ways

that might be subject

to a variety of legitimate interpretation.

Enough dancing, Frank.

Everybody got what they wanted.

It's a rare thing.

Might as well enjoy it.

-So, you riding with me?

-I got him.

Just forget all this ever happened, huh?

You really gonna go for that?

You should try it.

If I were you, I'd kiss this place goodbye

once and for all.

What if you were you?

I've got

a pretty good bargaining position.

They already offered up

some pleasant options.

You got somebody making that deal for you?

I've got a short list.

I'm around till dinner

if you really want to stick it to 'em.

The Israeli Army has moved

into southern Lebanon.

It has a clear-cut single mission.

Namely, pushing the PLO forces

out of artillery range

of Israeli settlements.

After months

of rocket attacks,

Israeli soldiers backed up by tanks

move up the coastal road into West Beirut.

The Israeli invasion

of Lebanon has been deep and wide.

It encompasses an area

smaller than Delaware

and a third larger than Rhode Island.

Evacuation of

over 800 PLO fighters began today,

as more American troops arrived in Beirut

to keep the peace.

Pentagon officials say

this terrorist attack

caused the four-story structure

to collapse,

trapping and killing those Marines.

In Beirut today,

a pickup truck loaded with explosives

drove to the American Embassy

and there was a tremendous explosion

during lunch hour.

Peter Jennings begins...

This criminal attack

on a diplomatic establishment

will not deter us from our goals of peace

in the region.
