and a security agent,

both unarmed.

The crowd was thrown

into a state of panic.

Innocent bystanders

were wounded.

Gunshots were heard

in our capital

for the first time

since the war.

And it's no accident that these

Barbarians carried out

their heinous acts

in front of a maternity ward

where our innocent babies bravely

greet their socialist future.

It is obvious that these

criminals were in the pay of

foreign imperialists

and Zionists

and have a deep hatred of our

country's socialist institutions.

The people demand

the harshest sentence

for every one of these

saboteurs and traitors!

The people demand

an example be set!

Comrade judge, the people demand

the execution of

these infamous snakes!

Comrade judge, Honorable Court.

We kindly ask you

to take into consideration

the fact that

the 5 defendants admit

and sincerely regret

their actions.

They are educated people.

Each of them

and declare that these sentences

are definitive and irrevocable!

I'm afraid it's a little

early for celebration.

Your job is far from being over.

The comrades from the ministry

have decided..

Oh, thank you, my dear,

you can go now.

Have decided that the trial

will actually be only one scene

in a rather more elaborate film.

You mean it won't be

on the newsreel?

No.

These sleepless nights

are killing me.

I take all kinds of pills,

no effect at all.

Now then, our mission is to make
