His sister and his wife,

and their children.

They were all in a camp

in Lebanon.

The Israelis raided it.

Killed people,

dynamited the houses.

They tried to escape.

They were in a car.

An Israeli tank drove over it.

All of them died.

That's how I know

that he's committed.

How do I know

that you're committed

now your comrades are dead?

She would never hang herself.

She was murdered by the state.

And if we return to Germany,

we will be murdered, too.

It's all the more important

that we continue.

- For Ulrike.

- And for your family.

WADIE:
At the airport,

Jaber will be in command.

I will stay in Kampala

and liaise with President Amin.

Ugandans will control

the perimeter

of the airfield

and the building.

You will all stay inside.

You must be careful

in these situations.

You must keep your distance

from the passengers.

Emotional attachment

can be really dangerous.

Particularly for women.

I am a revolutionary.

Would you like some water?

- Would you like some water?

- Would you like some water?

Would you like some water

for the kids?

Would you like some water?

(SHUDDERING)

I don't feel well.

What do you need?

I-I'm pregnant.

I think I'm having

a miscarriage.

- Okay, I'm going to try to find you a doctor, okay?

- Yeah.

Miss? She doesn't feel well.

She really needs

to see a doctor.

What is the problem?

She thinks

she's losing her baby.

Uh, miss, I'm a nurse.

- Maybe I can help.

- You can wait.

Which month?

Two... two months.

Where you from?

England.

We will call an ambulance.

We don't want to hurt anyone.

We're humanitarians.

Come with me.

She's fooling you.

It's better to show mercy,

comrade.

(WOMAN SHUDDERING)

I'm losing my baby.

(WOMAN GROANS SOFTLY)

Good luck.

(ENGINE POWERING UP)

- No radio.

- We have to speak

to air traffic control

for clearance.

The runway's empty.

They know we're leaving.

- Just take off.

- We need to know we're...

Take off!

Set thrust.

Set.

The Libyans refueled them

and let them take off again.

Gaddafi doesn't want this

to be his problem, either.

How much fuel?

At least five hours.

Tel Aviv is in range.

They'll land at Ben Gurion.

They want the world to watch.

AMOS:

There is one other thing.

They released a passenger.

WOMAN:

Uh, there were two Arabs.

Palestinians, I think.

And two Germans.

A man and a woman.

Why did they let you

off the plane?

I lied.

I told them I was pregnant.

Did they say

where they are going?

JUAN PABLO:
This whole

operation is nonsense.

We never talked

about going to Uganda.

Idi Amin... he's crazy.

He eats people.

He feeds them

to the crocodiles.

We're putting our lives

in the hands of a lunatic.
