The Baader Meinhof Complex Page #7

to the pressure of public opinion.

I allowed it, in order

to prevent further suicides.

Baader und Ensslin...

RAF prisoners were allowed

to transfer to Stammheim.

Time's up! Return to your cells!

- Stop eating.

Mohnhaupt will be free in 7 Months.

Those jerks guaranteed it.

Baader and Ensslin

probably insisted on it.

Lovely to see you.

Are you Charlie?

I want to talk with him alone.

Andreas and Gudrun trust you.

- How are they?

They're shitty! We must

get them out of there, soon.

Before they end up

like Ulrike und Holger.

A few think we should hijack

a 747 and circle it over Bonn.

With an ultimatum to exchange

our people in 6 to 8 hours.

Then let it fall.

In the middle of Bonn.

We heard of that plan. No.

No actions against the people.

We stick with the kidnappings.

How far advanced are you?

Ready to go.

Here, before I forget it...

I brought this for you.

Nearly 5 years prison...

- It's a long time.

That's how long since I f***ed a guy.

They need weapons.

If another escape attempt fails...

They want to be able to make a choice.

You must not mention it

to the others. No matter what happens.

Very pretty, the medal.

- Very much.

Congrats!

You work on your honour day?

Gottfried Hagemann. You remember,

the lawyer. With his arrest...

We found coded

operational plans on him.

Big arsehole.

HM Auschecken. Margarine.

What is your conclusion?

Siegfried, we're expecting an

act of revenge against you.

On 7.4.77 the Kommando Ulrike Meinhof

executed Chief Federal Prosecutor Buback.

Siegfried Buback was directly

responsible for the murder of Holger Meins,

Siegfried Hausner, and Ulrike Meinhof.

As Chief Federal Prosecutor,

he ordered their murders.

Under Bubacks regime,

Holger on 9.11.74.

was murdered by starvation.

Under Bubacks regime,

Ulrike on 9.5.76.

was illegally executed,

in a faked suicide by hanging.

Under our laws, for which

Ulrike fought, justice was done.

We will not allow our

comrades to be murdered,

We will show the authorities that

when prisoners continue to fight,

killing them will not solve the

problem. Kommando Ulrike Meinhof.

We could not protect him.

- I ask myself:

Why do new terror units always

develop? What motivates them?

A myth.

Come on in,

Mr Ponto is expecting you.

Thanks.

You brought a whole committee.

- I wanted to show them your place.

My friends. Klara.

- Good day.

Gerd.

- Herr Ponto, shall I stay?

No, you may go.

Come outside.

What a lovely surprise.

I'll be with you in a moment.

I'll put those in a vase. Sit down.

Klara.

Go to the exit. Come along.

- Are you mad?

You are a prisoner of the RAF.

- Are you mad?

Go, get out!

I didn't want that!

How do I explain to my parents?

We agreed, no guns! And only a tap

on the head, if he resists.

We wanted to kidnap him!

- Why are you here?

To play the female Robin Hood

without getting your hands dirty?

You crybaby! You sign the claim

of responsibility. - No! Never!

On the execution of Ponto, we say:

It is a clear warning to those types.

If you wage war on the people,

then war will be waged on you.

Susanne Albrecht,

soldier of the RAF.

The door stays open!

We do not accept locked doors!

Hey! No locked doors!

Now you'll have the war you wanted!

You pigs! You filthy pigs!

Let me go. Idiot.

F***ing shitty cops!

You wanker! F***ing leave her alone!

You sow! Let go!

How much longer?

- Soon. Nearly done.

Finished.

We forestalled our

planned liquidation.

We retain our identity.

"We know there is a

concrete plan to kill us.

Surrender is impossible.

You must hurry.

We do not need to say more. "

That is clear. If we do nothing,

they've given us straight facts.

What "straight facts"?

- It's very clear, OK?

If we don't get them out

immediately, they're dead.

Now what?

- Schleyer goes on vacation tomorrow.

For how long?

- Several weeks.

Then let's do it

tomorrow. Why not?

We'll have to do it the hard way.

- What's that mean? Hard?

It means we shoot the escorts,

all of them, to get to Schleyer.

The SEK are armed and trained.

It'll be a combat situation.

The driver isn't SEK, though.

- You miserable wanker!

The prisoners will be murdered!

- Stop it!

Let's get our plan in order.

- I can't do this.

I can't be a part of this.

- OK. Then you better leave now.

We need to discuss plans.

They don't concern you any more.

Brigitte, you can't do this.

If you're captured again...

I am in charge here.

We'll discuss that later.

Now let's find out who's

willing to do it the hard way.

What about you?

It's safe to assume...

that Schleyer is being held

within 20 km of the scene.

Less than two hours ago it happened.

Five weeks after the

murder of the banker Ponto...

an assassination attempt

on Hanns Martin Schleyer.

Four police officers from

the escort were killed.

The search for

the attackers continues.

Schleyer is not among

the dead. It is obvious...

that the terrorists

have kidnapped him.

The manhunt goes on.

All the official parties

condemned the attack on Schleyer.

Now you have a problem.

Now you have a big problem!

Their reign of terror has not yet ended.

And they are feeling triumphant now.

But they must make no mistake.

...the Siegfried Hausner Kommando...

has taken the president of the employers

association, Hanns Martin Schleyer, prisoner.

The will of the German people is not broken.

They're sealing us in!

- They're doing what?

A Lufthansa airliner has been hijacked.

The aircraft was en route from Majorca

to Frankfurt, but was diverted to Rome.

Germans, are on board.

...footage of kidnapped

businessman Hanns Schleyer...

reading a statement from his captors...

You can see my current circumstances.

The government in Bonn

must make a decision.

The actions of the German goverment

prove that they are the terrorists.

The state, which claims to promote freedom...

...uses the methods of totaliarianism...

in the name of fighting terrorism.

I Have, so far, been

treated well by my captors...

Pressure on the

government is growing...

as the hijackers demand the

release of political prisoners...

including the RAF

prisoners in Stammheim.

As the hijack drama continues...

...reported to have

shot the pilot...

...threatened to kill one

passenger every 5 minutes...

The Pope has sent a plea for

the release of the passengers.

At Aden airport,

passengers and crew...

...swap for prisoners...

...have arrived in Cairo...

...prisoners in his country will be...

...emergency landing!

Baader Meinhof Gang terrorists who

are also holding Hanns-Martin Schleyer...

...passenger swap in Dubai.

...do not condone the

actions of political gangsters.

Comrade, they turned us down.

And where does that leave us?

Everything's gone wrong! Everything!

They've taken off again.

One pilot shot.

The plan was to stay in Aden.

What does it mean?

Baby. This thing is complete bullshit.

...landed in Somalia yesterday.

The body of pilot Jrgen

Schumann was dumped...
