Munich Page #3

Some people say we can't

afford to be civilized.

I've always resisted

such people.

But I don't know

who these maniacs are...

and where they come from.

Palestinians?

They're not recognizable.

You tell me what law

protects people like these.

Today I'm hearing

with new ears.

Every civilization

finds it necessary...

to negotiate compromises

with its own values.

I've made a decision.

The responsibility

is entirely mine.

Avner?

Yes?

We're going to Jerusalem.

Get in.

Come on, sir.

Hello. I'm General Zamir.

Yes.

You swore us in.

My unit,

when I joined Mossad.

I don't remember you.

Of course, I know your father.

Avner.

It's been... Two years

since I worked for you.

I remember.

Please, sit down.

Harari.

General Nadav.

And General Yariv.

How are you?

How is your father?

He's fine. Thank you.

Coffee? It's wonderful

to see you again.

Sit.

The chief of the Mossad,

two generals...

and the Prime Minister.

Obviously, it's important.

This is something new.

What happened in Munich

changes everything.

We want to ask you. Will

you undertake a mission?

An important mission. You will

have to leave the country...

and your family,

maybe for years.

And it is dangerous. You

can't talk about it to anyone.

Not even your wife.

Now you should

say something.

Do you have any questions?

So, this isn't about guarding

tourists on El Al jets?

No questions?

Did we mention

how dangerous it is?

You know, my sister

died on Tuesday.

No, I didn't know that.

Cancer.

I couldn't go to the

athletes' funerals...

because she died.

That upset people,

but she was my sister.

Family matters.

Your wife is pregnant.

Yes, seven months.

Mazel tov.

You were one

of my favorite bodyguards.

You know,

I like neat, durable men.

You liked having

the son of a hero around.

Truth be told, you don't

look much like your father.

No?

Your mother

is who you resemble.

Tomorrow morning.

If you can't decide

in one day...

you can't decide.

Her sister died.

But I think she didn't go

to the athletes' funerals...

because some people

are angry at her...

for not negotiating

with the terrorists.

She didn't go

to the funerals...

because she didn't

want to be booed.

It's a good sign

you didn't ask questions.

You'll say yes.

I'm your case officer.

My name is Ephraim.

How late in the pregnancy before

you have to stop having sex?

Labor.

Don't worry about it.

You won't be around.

Will you?

Whatever they want, make

sure they give you a raise.

I need things for the baby.

I can't live

with refusing this.

Your mother,

she knew what she was doing.

She abandoned you on that

kibbutz. She didn't abandon me.

My father was missing.
