The Eichmann Show Page #3

Now it must pay off.

Many necks are on the line.

Are you talking to other companies

about taking over the production?

We would be unwise not to have

a fall-back, would we not?

However you do it, the trial must

be filmed. You have three days.

Three?

- You told me five.

- Three days, gentlemen.

You should try the honey cake,

it is the best in Jerusalem.

In the control room, you said...

what - what did you say?

Milton, I'm so tired I

can't remember what I

said twenty seconds ago

let alone an hour ago.

No, you said something about a...

invisible camera...

Leo, that's it.

That is it. We - we

hide the cameras from view.

We make them part of

the fabric of the courtroom.

Put them in the wall?

Yeah, then put a window in the wall

so they can see through.

- Alright.

- You know, this could work.

- So the cameras need to be able to move.

- Ok, fine.

Jesus, we're going to need every carpenter

and plasterer in Jerusalem for this.

- And we've got three days to do it in.

- Just here on the left, please.

Leo. Get some sleep.

I may feel well enough to get

the first plane back to New York.

See you tomorrow.

- Yes?

- Hurwitz.

Ah yes, Mr Horowitz.

'Hurwitz'.

As I said.

- You are tired, yes?

- Very.

You are Jewish? All Jews sleep well

in Jerusalem, Mr Horowitz.

'Hurwitz'.

Gentlemen, as you know, the judges

will be returning in two days

and when they do,

we need to be working as a team.

Because if we fail to get permission,

well, we'll all be going home.

I believe that in my absence

you've been familiarised with the technical

aspects of our television cameras.

Those cameras must now become

extensions of your own eyes

so that you can become

extensions of mine.

Right, right, right. Ok, stop. Stop.

And we have three days to become a team.

To act, to act, to act as one.

Alright gentleman,

let's give this a shot shall we?

As you film, I will edit directly

onto a master tape.

I'm going to need 100 per cent

of your concentration.

Ready, camera two.

This is going to be mentally

and physically challenging.

And most likely the most

interesting thing you ever do.

Got it.

Take two.

Our objective is to use images

to reveal the events of that courtroom.

Ready on the auditorium. Thank you.

Take two. Take three. Good.

The camera bridges distance.

Better. Keep the rhythm.

- It will show detail.

- Take four.

- Eichmann's face. His hands.

- Take one.

The expressions of the judges,

the counsel.

Camera one on the judges' bench.

Thank you, nice and smooth.

Take two. Take two.

Take two! Ok, stop. Stop. Stop.

I need you to switch immediately.

I want shots of Eichmann
