The Baader Meinhof Complex Page #6

Withdraw or they blow it up!

They refuse to withdraw.

- Then we prove we're serious. Translate.

I am von Mirbach, Military Attach.

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 Rssner,

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!

Incidently, 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 b*tches?

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 consulation.

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 sh*t.

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 recognise

that his behavior has changed? How?

In isolation, the prisoner can't

show that his behaviour 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, demoralise, 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, Mller

and Mohnhaupt brought to Stammheim?

The public prosecutor's office gave in
