7 Days in Entebbe Page #5

---

You are not oppressed.

You have a business.

There's a right of revolution

against capitalism.

You are a capitalist.

A bourgeois. We all are.

If that is what you think,

then we have to act,

and we have to act now.

I do not know what you

are scared of, Juan Pablo.

I'm not scared of anything.

But maybe you should be.

I only fear a life

without meaning.

(SIGHS)

(MUTTERING IN GERMAN)

Can I help you, madam?

I'm sorry,

I don't speak German.

Just try... try to breathe.

Now, listen.

No, no.

No, please...

please don't do that.

No, wh-what are you doing?

No.

Okay. It's okay,

it's okay, it's okay.

Please. I-I don't understand

what you're saying, but...

Listen. Please calm down.

- Just calm down. Calm down.

- (CONTINUES SPEAKING GERMAN)

I don't understand

what she's saying.

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

- (WOMAN CONTINUES SCREAMING)

- (BOSE SPEAKING GERMAN)

(SOBBING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Two Germans.

LEAH:

Yes.

You said.

They'll be revolutionaries.

Seven hours now, no news.

This time, it's different.

They are doing

what they are doing, Yitzhak.

There is nothing

you can do about it.

Get some sleep.

GENERAL MOTTA GUR:

Any rescue force

would have to approach

the old terminal unnoticed.

Look, we can put the men

on a Hercules

and land at the airport

at night.

- Without runway lights?

- Yeah.

That's great.

I don't think Rabin

will go for that.

EHUD:
What if we drop a small

parachute force instead?

Uh, parachute force

would be dispersed

over too large an area.

So we could use Lake Victoria.

Either parachute in

with inflatable boats at night,

or cross from Kenya.

Ehud, there are crocodiles

in Lake Victoria.

Plus, it's impossible to come

all the way across the lake

from Kenya

in rubber boats unnoticed.

This is not a drill, okay?

It's the real world.

Motta, why don't we send in

the commandos,

take the airport, and then wait

to hear from Amin?

Well...

if you want to take control

of the airport,

you're gonna have to use

a much bigger force.

Could you run some numbers

for me?

I want to present

a plan tomorrow.

Also, call special forces

unit to base.

Of course, Defense Minister.

Thank you.

No problem.

I think I know why Rabin

wanted Motta here.

He wants to stop us

from coming up

with a viable military option.

That way, he doesn't have

to make a decision.

He wants to blame you

for this crisis.

That's politics.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(CHUCKLING):
You know,

I wish I could do that.

There was a phone call.

They want you back

at base tomorrow.

When is the premiere?

It's not about that.

You know I have

no choice here, right?

Sarah, I have to go.

It's my job.

There's always a choice.
