00:00:06,765 --> 00:00:09,815
Welcome to the Deadline Virtual Screening series.

00:00:31,975 --> 00:00:33,355
I'm Pete Hammond, your host,

00:00:33,495 --> 00:00:35,155
and very excited today

00:00:35,495 --> 00:00:39,835
to be showing this truly great movie September five, uh,

00:00:40,085 --> 00:00:43,435
which I saw, uh, at reviewed, actually I saw even

00:00:43,435 --> 00:00:44,915
before the Venice Film Festival.

00:00:45,455 --> 00:00:49,195
And then it went on to Telluride, many film festivals

00:00:49,335 --> 00:00:51,075
and has gotten quite a bit

00:00:51,075 --> 00:00:54,155
of critical acclaim along the way to say the least.

00:00:54,335 --> 00:00:57,995
We will be showing you the whole film and then a q and a.

00:00:58,005 --> 00:00:59,595
Don't go anywhere right after the movie

00:00:59,875 --> 00:01:01,315
'cause we have a q and a right here.

00:01:01,335 --> 00:01:03,915
You'll see the participants that I'm about to introduce.

00:01:04,535 --> 00:01:07,875
Uh, director, co-writer Tim Felbam. Hi. Hi, Tim.

00:01:08,605 --> 00:01:10,995
Hello. Hi everybody. Thanks for tuning in. Yeah,

00:01:11,825 --> 00:01:14,555
Co-writer Moritz Binder. Hi Moritz.

00:01:14,935 --> 00:01:16,635
Hi. Thank you Pete for having us.

00:01:17,835 --> 00:01:21,835
Absolutely. And film editor Hans Jog Weisberg.

00:01:22,375 --> 00:01:24,755
Hi everyone. Hi Pete. Thank you.

00:01:25,895 --> 00:01:29,675
So without further ado, here is September five,

00:02:17,635 --> 00:02:19,975
The 1972 Summer Olympics.

00:02:20,765 --> 00:02:22,375
Nine days ago, the nations

00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:24,375
of the world marched into the Olympic stadium

00:02:24,395 --> 00:02:25,735
in Munich, west Germany.

00:02:26,355 --> 00:02:29,135
And you were there live for this historical moment.

00:02:29,475 --> 00:02:32,295
It was a starting signal for a peaceful post-war Germany

00:02:32,835 --> 00:02:35,535
to share itself with the world at an Olympics full

00:02:35,535 --> 00:02:36,855
of sporting sensations.

00:02:37,395 --> 00:02:39,975
Now that more than half of the competition days are over,

00:02:40,315 --> 00:02:42,055
we at a BC sports show you

00:02:42,055 --> 00:02:44,495
how these pictures make their way from here in Munich

00:02:44,495 --> 00:02:45,975
to your home overseas.

00:02:46,875 --> 00:02:49,055
The games of 72 are the first in history

00:02:49,315 --> 00:02:52,535
to be broadcast live via satellite across the world.

00:02:53,155 --> 00:02:56,415
An unprecedented technical apparatus was set up

00:02:56,415 --> 00:02:57,815
by the German organizers

00:02:58,795 --> 00:03:01,535
and a BC sports has live cameras everywhere.

00:03:02,755 --> 00:03:05,015
We even placed one on the Olympic Tower,

00:03:05,585 --> 00:03:07,895
which gives us a nice aerial overview

00:03:07,915 --> 00:03:09,495
of the entire Olympic Village.

00:03:10,635 --> 00:03:13,095
Hey look, that's us from here.

00:03:13,235 --> 00:03:14,895
We send everything to the bird

00:03:15,155 --> 00:03:18,815
as we call this technical marvel orbiting Earth, allowing us

00:03:18,815 --> 00:03:22,505
to bring the games to you live and in color.

00:03:23,445 --> 00:03:26,265
But daytime for you means night shift for us.

00:03:26,485 --> 00:03:28,985
And we're operating around the clock here in Munich

00:03:29,125 --> 00:03:32,345
to ensure you don't miss a single moment of the action.

00:03:32,815 --> 00:03:35,745
Stay tuned for many more highlights in the final days

00:03:35,845 --> 00:03:37,665
of these glorious Olympics.

00:03:42,965 --> 00:03:44,265
That's a good start for Mark

00:03:44,355 --> 00:03:45,355
Spitz. Okay, now

00:03:45,355 --> 00:03:49,505

00:03:50,285 --> 00:03:54,105
Now Spitz takes the Lead cam one underwater cams.

00:03:54,375 --> 00:03:56,625
Look at that style, those powerful moves

00:03:57,285 --> 00:04:00,025
Up to one Spence leaves The German swimmer far behind.

00:04:00,975 --> 00:04:02,785
He's about to write Olympic history here

00:04:02,805 --> 00:04:04,145
by winning his seventh gold

00:04:04,145 --> 00:04:05,145
Medal. Can't one tighten

00:04:05,145 --> 00:04:05,515
him

00:04:08,805 --> 00:04:09,805
And he'll get it.

00:04:10,925 --> 00:04:13,305
Spence wins. Ready

00:04:13,305 --> 00:04:15,065
for sp his closeup. No, go to the German

00:04:15,065 --> 00:04:16,065
First.

00:04:17,145 --> 00:04:18,145
Sure.

00:04:20,575 --> 00:04:22,825
Camp two. Change of plans. Gimme the German swimmer

00:04:23,525 --> 00:04:25,025
Er Lamba is devastated.

00:04:25,205 --> 00:04:27,185
He even shaved his hair for this camp.

00:04:27,185 --> 00:04:29,025
Two, but nothing stops history.

00:04:29,595 --> 00:04:31,985
Spitz climbs out of the pool and runs towards his parents.

00:04:33,025 --> 00:04:35,385
I can't believe it. Solid gold.

00:04:35,455 --> 00:04:37,785
Tighter. Alright, six. Run over there.

00:04:39,725 --> 00:04:40,585
Put six in preview.

00:04:45,005 --> 00:04:46,745
That's it. Hold it now take six.

00:04:57,995 --> 00:05:00,355
Finland was well represented at these Olympic games.

00:05:01,185 --> 00:05:02,515
They were somewhat favored

00:05:02,575 --> 00:05:05,195
but they were not expected to do as well as they did.

00:05:05,195 --> 00:05:06,195
As you'll see,

00:05:08,405 --> 00:05:09,405
Hello?

00:05:10,055 --> 00:05:11,395
Thanks. I'm already away.

That's funny because do you screw this up?

00:06:34,045 --> 00:06:35,425
I'm going in trouble with road.

00:06:36,445 --> 00:06:37,745

I'd like to do a handover with Jeff. I

00:07:59,125 --> 00:08:00,745
Did you check out Jennings doc out piece?

00:08:01,005 --> 00:08:02,825
Not yet. Don't you watch it

00:08:02,825 --> 00:08:03,825
and see if that's so be good.

00:08:04,505 --> 00:08:06,225
I do have some concerns about cutting from

00:08:06,225 --> 00:08:07,665
sports to the Holocaust

00:08:08,335 --> 00:08:09,335
Because it's Jewish.

00:08:10,395 --> 00:08:11,395
Right?

00:08:11,835 --> 00:08:14,865
Since one of my ABC's expert on Judaism, he

00:08:14,865 --> 00:08:17,905
Is spits What time's the pressor

00:08:18,015 --> 00:08:19,665
4:00 PM Here's your lead in.

00:08:20,165 --> 00:08:22,185
So you want to ask a Jew about the Holocaust

00:08:22,365 --> 00:08:23,385
on live television?

00:08:23,495 --> 00:08:24,985
Yeah. Ask him what it's like.

00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:26,345
You want a golden Hitler's backyard?

00:08:26,925 --> 00:08:29,065
Do you guys wanna follow me? Talk me through the day.

00:08:29,845 --> 00:08:30,625
The day starts with

00:08:30,625 --> 00:08:32,025
volleyball. It should be a pretty good match.

00:08:32,165 --> 00:08:33,505
No US team. No.

00:08:33,505 --> 00:08:35,545
Um, then this soccer intermediate round both,

00:08:35,965 --> 00:08:37,225
uh, GDR versus Mexico.

00:08:37,815 --> 00:08:39,825
Morocco versus Denmark. Burma versus Malaysia.

00:08:40,975 --> 00:08:44,465
There's boxing. Great way. Hope he's in quarters with Telo

00:08:45,275 --> 00:08:46,275
Cuban. Yeah, he is pretty good.

00:08:46,275 --> 00:08:47,825
He knocked down end injuries in

00:08:47,825 --> 00:08:49,105
30 seconds the first round.

00:08:49,405 --> 00:08:52,145
So we lose and the whole thing's over in 30 seconds.

00:08:52,255 --> 00:08:55,345
Doesn't matter. It's America versus Cuba. Sure.

00:08:55,345 --> 00:08:56,505
You want bring in the politics.

00:08:56,535 --> 00:08:58,425
It's not about politics, it's about Emotionals.

00:08:59,525 --> 00:09:02,025
How about Cold War? Heats up again too.

00:09:02,045 --> 00:09:03,705
Be lunches, missile at America's Hope.

00:09:04,695 --> 00:09:07,185
It's too long, but it's good direction.

00:09:07,445 --> 00:09:09,225
Has he ever done live coverage before? Yeah,

00:09:09,305 --> 00:09:10,305
I did. He's done

00:09:10,305 --> 00:09:13,345
golf tournaments and uh, minor league baseball.

00:09:14,495 --> 00:09:18,665
I'll be back for the boxing. No calls until 10.

00:09:18,745 --> 00:09:19,745
I promise my daughters.

00:09:21,695 --> 00:09:23,665
Alright, good. So you prepped

00:09:23,665 --> 00:09:27,305
that tease while I contemplate the demise of my fellow Jews.

00:09:27,645 --> 00:09:31,665
Oh geez. It's like I'm spending another night here. Woo hoo.

00:09:32,925 --> 00:09:35,065
No calls before 10. I promise myself

00:09:36,165 --> 00:09:37,165
You fix that. Yeah.

00:09:37,165 --> 00:09:40,545
On it. Only ev about nine miles lie

00:09:40,545 --> 00:09:42,025
between the Serene Game Center

00:09:42,525 --> 00:09:44,985
and Germany's darkest chapter in history.

00:09:45,945 --> 00:09:48,065
Unimaginable atrocities were committed at the

00:09:48,065 --> 00:09:49,425
Dachau concentration camp.

00:09:49,645 --> 00:09:50,865
And yet 27 years

00:09:50,865 --> 00:09:53,625
after the war, it has become a place of remembrance,

00:09:54,205 --> 00:09:57,585
of reconciliation thanks to the Olympic spirit.

00:09:58,625 --> 00:10:00,665
A spirit that makes images possible

00:10:01,215 --> 00:10:02,905
that seemed impossible before.

00:10:03,925 --> 00:10:05,665
That's exactly what the Olympics are all about.

00:10:05,685 --> 00:10:09,425
You know, um, like our fencing coach Andrew says,

00:10:09,425 --> 00:10:12,185
we are here, we can talk to Germans, um,

00:10:12,375 --> 00:10:13,545
chat with athletes from Lebanon.

00:10:13,635 --> 00:10:16,905
Right. This is what we've been dream about.

00:10:17,405 --> 00:10:19,785
You know, not just sports.

00:10:27,485 --> 00:10:32,145
You're in Germany, right? Uh, excuse me.

00:10:32,405 --> 00:10:36,065
You're the new translator. Yes. Uh, can you do me a favor?

00:10:37,495 --> 00:10:42,385
What, what is, what

00:10:42,385 --> 00:10:43,425
is Hans saying here?

00:10:49,735 --> 00:10:52,945
He's saying that the games are an opportunity

00:10:53,325 --> 00:10:56,025
to welcome the world to a new Germany

00:10:56,965 --> 00:10:58,225
to move on from the past.

00:10:58,895 --> 00:11:03,345
Yeah, sure. I mean it's what we all hope for,

00:11:03,765 --> 00:11:05,425
but as can we do, but move on.

00:11:05,765 --> 00:11:06,765
Try to be better.

00:11:08,965 --> 00:11:10,185
Are your parents still around?

00:11:11,205 --> 00:11:15,465
Yes. Let me guess. They didn't know either, right?

00:11:19,765 --> 00:11:20,865
But I'm not them.

00:11:22,885 --> 00:11:25,345
No, no, you're, you're not.

00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:28,345
I'm sorry. I'm Marvin Bader.

00:11:28,505 --> 00:11:31,065
I know. Head of operations. Yeah.

00:11:31,085 --> 00:11:32,505
I'm Mariana Gipa. Nice to meet you.

00:11:32,685 --> 00:11:34,985
You too. Um, welcome to a BC.

00:11:58,675 --> 00:12:00,875
I need to swap all cables then

00:12:00,935 --> 00:12:03,355
Do it Grumpy has no spares.

00:12:04,815 --> 00:12:06,275
At least not for a Frenchman,

00:12:11,295 --> 00:12:12,295
German.

00:12:12,415 --> 00:12:13,795
We really don't have any cables.

00:12:15,725 --> 00:12:17,825
Hey, I am talking to you. We need cables.

00:12:18,495 --> 00:12:22,105
Your boss fills out paper gives it to my boss.

00:12:22,375 --> 00:12:23,375
Then you get cable.

00:12:33,285 --> 00:12:36,025

and are investigating the matter and that's all they said.

00:15:15,985 --> 00:15:19,185

00:15:19,575 --> 00:15:21,105

What did it sound like?

00:16:16,275 --> 00:16:18,405
Like gunfire. Jeff, What's going on?

Anyone there? You there already?

00:16:23,385 --> 00:16:24,885

but I can see dozens of police cars already.

00:16:30,055 --> 00:16:31,165
Where? In the village?

00:16:32,025 --> 00:16:34,485
Yes. Whatever happened. It happened. Here.

Hostage is what? Who?

00:17:15,365 --> 00:17:17,525

Hello, Ruth. Jeff Mason. I said not to disturb.

00:18:03,325 --> 00:18:06,365
I, I understand that, but there's a hostage situation going

00:18:06,365 --> 00:18:07,765
on right now in the Olympic Village.

00:18:08,795 --> 00:18:10,765
What are you talking About? Talking about a

00:18:10,825 --> 00:18:12,385
hostage situation.

00:18:12,925 --> 00:18:15,065
And it gets worse. It's in the Israeli quarters.

00:18:15,695 --> 00:18:19,065
This is confirmed. Not yet. Wait.

00:18:19,065 --> 00:18:20,665
They're about to say something on the German radio.

00:18:21,125 --> 00:18:22,125
I'm gonna put you on the speaker

00:18:23,815 --> 00:18:24,815
Here. Is

00:18:24,815 --> 00:18:24,815

00:18:29,005 --> 00:18:30,005
Can you translate this?

00:18:30,925 --> 00:18:35,705
Let me check my receiver. There have been

00:18:35,705 --> 00:18:39,265
reports of shots being fired inside the Olympic village.

00:18:41,815 --> 00:18:45,305
Reports that have not yet been confirmed by the police.

00:18:46,045 --> 00:18:49,905
Uh, say that the Israeli team may have been attacked

00:18:50,125 --> 00:18:51,785
by so-called terrorists.

00:18:53,495 --> 00:18:56,625
I'll be there at 20. Get the crew in.

00:19:02,405 --> 00:19:03,545
So wake 'em up. I don't know.

00:19:03,885 --> 00:19:06,585
We need as many bodies as possible. More of a well priority.

00:19:06,745 --> 00:19:09,305
Our camera tell the bus leaves in 10 minutes. Okay?

00:19:09,305 --> 00:19:10,505
And don't forget to bring Carter.

00:19:10,765 --> 00:19:13,225
Is it confirmed? Yeah, it's definitely gunshots.

00:19:13,225 --> 00:19:16,185
Definitely the Israelis. And this is from German radio

00:19:16,565 --> 00:19:17,985
And we can't quote another station.

00:19:18,145 --> 00:19:21,825
A second source got a liar.

00:19:22,965 --> 00:19:24,745
One, possibly two Israeli athletes

00:19:24,745 --> 00:19:26,025
killed at Olympic village.

00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:28,465
Out gorillas likely to hostages.

00:19:28,925 --> 00:19:33,865
Let me see that Carrie here.

00:19:34,415 --> 00:19:35,545
What are we dealing with here?

00:19:37,545 --> 00:19:42,185
P-L-O-P-F-L-P or worst case. Black September.

00:19:45,205 --> 00:19:46,585
You know the political background?

00:19:46,685 --> 00:19:48,905
You report from the inside. Okay.

00:19:52,135 --> 00:19:53,825
Okay. Where are the Israelis housed?

00:19:54,645 --> 00:19:57,985
Israel. Connolly str A 31.

00:20:00,925 --> 00:20:01,925
And here.

00:20:05,495 --> 00:20:08,065
Well this should give us a good angle.

00:20:09,335 --> 00:20:12,825
Just seems like the police will seal the village.

00:20:13,975 --> 00:20:15,865
Reporters here are Rushing to get in. Now

00:20:21,995 --> 00:20:23,945

00:20:35,965 --> 00:20:37,385
We need Jim for this. Sorry. Right.

00:20:40,815 --> 00:20:42,145

CBS has had that plot booked for

00:23:40,835 --> 00:23:41,835
Months. Listen to me. It's

00:23:41,835 --> 00:23:43,155
a public interest story

00:23:43,335 --> 00:23:45,395
and people are gonna want to see it live

00:23:45,575 --> 00:23:47,635
and we are the only people capable of doing that.

00:23:47,955 --> 00:23:50,995
I get that right? But, okay, hang on. We got this schedule.

00:23:52,055 --> 00:23:53,555

Okay? This is what we're gonna do. We're gonna swap.

00:24:05,975 --> 00:24:07,825

00:24:12,065 --> 00:24:14,145
The Germans are gonna have this taken care of in no time.

00:24:14,965 --> 00:24:18,145

word from the Olympic committee.

00:24:27,005 --> 00:24:28,265

00:24:29,985 --> 00:24:31,065
about sports today.

00:24:31,255 --> 00:24:34,105
Good news is two Israelis escaped during the attack.

00:24:34,105 --> 00:24:35,185
And hold on a sec.

00:24:36,255 --> 00:24:38,105
They just confirmed the injured coach died.

00:24:38,805 --> 00:24:41,865
Mo shot Weinberg shot twice in the head once in the gut.

00:24:42,315 --> 00:24:46,025

00:24:46,025 --> 00:24:47,025
prisoners by noon.

00:24:47,205 --> 00:24:49,465
If not make to one hostage every hour.

00:24:49,795 --> 00:24:52,745
Jesus Christ. Are they negotiating?

00:24:53,505 --> 00:24:57,425
I don't know. So should I pass this along to Ro

00:24:57,735 --> 00:24:58,735
Jeff? You have to

00:24:58,735 --> 00:24:59,905
be the center of everything now.

00:25:00,605 --> 00:25:01,905
Not just the control room.

00:25:02,625 --> 00:25:06,265
All communication, everything. Jess.

00:25:06,895 --> 00:25:09,425
Yeah, I got it. How? Communication. Everything.

00:25:10,985 --> 00:25:13,665
A, b, c headquarters called. They want news to take over.

00:25:15,095 --> 00:25:15,985
Tell 'em move. Hand, touch.

00:25:25,095 --> 00:25:25,985
What the hell are you guys doing?

00:25:26,245 --> 00:25:27,465
I'm gonna get a live shot of the apartment.

00:25:27,885 --> 00:25:29,705
Get get the viewers right into the a. Who

00:25:29,705 --> 00:25:30,705
Are the hostages?

00:25:30,805 --> 00:25:33,425
Uh, uh, Bader.

00:25:33,425 --> 00:25:36,145
Just, he confirmed that one of them died up. Marshall

00:25:36,145 --> 00:25:37,145
Weinberg. I read the wire.

00:25:37,145 --> 00:25:38,305
But who's inside that apartment?

00:25:39,405 --> 00:25:42,345
We don't know yet. Then we find out who are they?

00:25:42,345 --> 00:25:43,825
What's their background? Do they have a family?

00:25:44,215 --> 00:25:47,145
There's no point in aiming this thing at the building if the

00:25:47,145 --> 00:25:49,185
viewer doesn't know the people inside. Right room

00:25:49,505 --> 00:25:50,785
Headquarters on the line.

00:25:50,785 --> 00:25:51,905
Again. I can't hold 'em back any longer.

00:25:52,035 --> 00:25:53,425
Right? Don't f**k it up Mason.

00:25:53,535 --> 00:25:55,865
Okay, I got the bird live at noon. Alright,

00:25:59,925 --> 00:26:01,785
Um, Marv, do we have any more information

00:26:01,785 --> 00:26:02,865
on who the hostages are?

00:26:03,605 --> 00:26:06,265
No. Mariana is on it. Yes, I'm on it.

00:26:06,475 --> 00:26:08,545
Where are you? Editing room.

00:26:09,215 --> 00:26:12,385
Okay, I'm coming to you. Great. Get this sucker outside.

00:26:14,855 --> 00:26:17,065
Just fun. Scene guys in apartment.

00:26:23,265 --> 00:26:27,425
I need to confirm this first. Mr. Beta, do you read me

00:26:27,735 --> 00:26:28,735
Mariana? What have you got

00:26:28,735 --> 00:26:29,225

00:26:29,965 --> 00:26:32,665
My source at the BI told me there are 10 hostages.

00:26:32,975 --> 00:26:35,385
Five coaches and five athletes.

00:26:36,495 --> 00:26:37,945
Okay. Lines up with my info.

00:26:38,895 --> 00:26:41,625
Also, we've been told the Palestinians attacked apartments

00:26:41,765 --> 00:26:44,825
one and three after cross-referencing that

00:26:44,895 --> 00:26:46,065
with the housing plans

00:26:46,165 --> 00:26:48,385
and who slept where? I think Hey Jeff?

00:26:49,055 --> 00:26:50,865
Yeah, I think we found a good spot

00:26:50,965 --> 00:26:51,965
Coming. Get that

00:26:51,965 --> 00:26:53,745
to me in the control room as soon as you're done.

00:26:54,245 --> 00:26:57,265
So I'd say the five athletes being held, uh, Romano,

00:26:58,105 --> 00:27:00,825
Slavin, Friedman, Berger and hin.

00:27:01,295 --> 00:27:03,905
Wait, Berger. David Berg. Yes. Why?

00:27:10,085 --> 00:27:11,305
You guys can go get it up there?

00:27:13,005 --> 00:27:15,425
Yes. Almost done. Okay

00:27:17,935 --> 00:27:19,385
Jeff, We have Daniels on the phone.

00:27:19,575 --> 00:27:20,575
Come

00:27:25,185 --> 00:27:26,345
Jennings, it's Jeff Mason.

00:27:27,765 --> 00:27:30,265
You running things? Yeah. So where are you?

00:27:30,765 --> 00:27:32,625
I'm on a balcony in the Italian compound.

00:27:32,775 --> 00:27:35,265
It's a good spot jj. A direct view of 31.

00:27:35,325 --> 00:27:36,865
And I'm not alone up here.

00:27:37,605 --> 00:27:39,945
The other balconies are full of reporters and photographers.

00:27:39,945 --> 00:27:41,785
All of us waiting for something to happen.

00:27:42,205 --> 00:27:43,745
So what? Nothing's going on. No.

00:27:44,605 --> 00:27:45,745
At least it's just milling around.

00:27:45,745 --> 00:27:48,425
Doesn't seem like they've even started negotiating yet.

00:27:49,295 --> 00:27:50,385
There's an eerie silence

00:27:51,725 --> 00:27:53,225
to actually hear the cameras clicking.

00:28:00,005 --> 00:28:02,345
Is it too small? Get those to Judy.

00:28:02,355 --> 00:28:03,985
Three times bigger. Alright, um,

00:28:03,985 --> 00:28:05,105
There's a report Mr.

00:28:05,215 --> 00:28:07,065
Beta watched earlier that has an interview

00:28:07,065 --> 00:28:09,065
with one of the hostages. David Bager, former

00:28:09,385 --> 00:28:10,385
American.

00:28:11,175 --> 00:28:13,825
Just move it at the apartment. The door on the second floor.

00:28:13,825 --> 00:28:17,065
Balcony's opening. I want to appearing out

00:28:20,385 --> 00:28:22,145
Jennings. What's happening?

00:28:22,375 --> 00:28:25,905
Someone's on the balcony wearing some kind of a mask.

00:28:30,645 --> 00:28:34,425
Now he's gone back in. Ben down there.

00:28:34,425 --> 00:28:35,585
Caught it all in 16 mil.

00:28:35,665 --> 00:28:36,825
I wish you could get the shot Mason.

00:28:37,325 --> 00:28:39,225
No. Send a runner. No chance.

00:28:39,285 --> 00:28:41,105
Police sealed off the entire area.

00:28:41,535 --> 00:28:42,985
Only athletes could get passed.

00:28:58,375 --> 00:28:59,375
Good Luck. Thanks.

00:28:59,375 --> 00:28:59,625

00:29:08,975 --> 00:29:13,865
Nice man. So we have loaded mags, sandwiches, walkies,

00:29:14,175 --> 00:29:16,505
long lens cigarettes for Jennings.

00:29:17,205 --> 00:29:19,105
So, uh, what if they searched me?

00:29:19,595 --> 00:29:22,025
Don't worry. From now on you are

00:29:22,115 --> 00:29:24,745
officially an athlete

00:29:52,285 --> 00:29:53,985
Man stepping out of the apartment now.

00:29:55,715 --> 00:29:58,745
White suit, white hat. Very ated black.

00:30:00,405 --> 00:30:05,025
He must be the leader of the group is waving at the cameras.

00:30:07,575 --> 00:30:10,265
Jeff. Police woman's walking up now all

00:30:10,265 --> 00:30:11,505
by herself unarmed.

00:30:12,035 --> 00:30:14,145
Looks like she's handling the negotiation.

00:30:14,285 --> 00:30:16,625
Pin these up on there. He seems

00:30:16,625 --> 00:30:17,745
to have a grenade in his hand.

00:30:19,005 --> 00:30:20,005
God.

00:30:21,005 --> 00:30:24,225
Jen, how close are you? A hundred, 130 feet.

00:30:24,555 --> 00:30:25,905
Maybe you should get away from there.

00:30:26,215 --> 00:30:29,025
Kill radius is only 16 feet. I've been in the Middle East.

00:30:30,095 --> 00:30:33,705
Alright, but be careful. Gary's on his way.

00:30:34,245 --> 00:30:35,245
We have someone on the tower.

00:30:35,765 --> 00:30:36,305
One six

00:30:39,755 --> 00:30:41,145
Tower Cam Reed.

00:30:41,615 --> 00:30:43,385
Copy. Can you gimme an image?

00:30:47,575 --> 00:30:48,825
Show me the entrance to the village.

00:30:55,695 --> 00:30:56,695
Push in on that.

00:31:01,795 --> 00:31:03,745
There go Gary.

00:31:17,785 --> 00:31:18,805
Yes, He's in.

00:31:23,945 --> 00:31:25,765
Hey, people get PR on the radio.

00:31:26,425 --> 00:31:28,765
The police chief's making his first official statement.

00:31:28,765 --> 00:31:29,765
Right now,

00:31:34,665 --> 00:31:38,365
The perpetrators demand that 200 persons be released

00:31:39,585 --> 00:31:40,765
who are in Israeli hands.

00:31:41,985 --> 00:31:45,525
If these 200 persons are not released, they will shoot

00:31:46,505 --> 00:31:48,565
one hostage every hour. Starting at noon.

00:31:49,155 --> 00:31:51,085
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Can you tell us something we don't know?

00:31:51,675 --> 00:31:53,045
Someone's asking the chief

00:31:53,105 --> 00:31:55,725
of police if he thinks it was a mistake

00:31:55,875 --> 00:31:58,205
that the Olympic village had no armed police.

00:31:58,785 --> 00:32:03,245
Of course it was. I guess they didn't want the world

00:32:03,245 --> 00:32:06,405
to be reminded of the last time armed Germans patrol fences.

00:32:06,665 --> 00:32:08,485
So German. His makeover is more

00:32:08,485 --> 00:32:10,125
important than people's safety. But come on

00:32:10,125 --> 00:32:11,645
This, this isn't our business.

00:32:11,645 --> 00:32:15,085
That is our business. In less than an hour, we go live.

00:32:15,695 --> 00:32:18,605
We're not giving this story to news, but

00:32:18,605 --> 00:32:20,125
because we're in Munich, we're a hundred yards

00:32:20,555 --> 00:32:21,765
away from where it's happening.

00:32:22,655 --> 00:32:25,245
We're not giving it to anyone. Yeah, sports is keeping this.

00:32:27,305 --> 00:32:28,305
That's it.

00:32:31,105 --> 00:32:33,245
Now it looks like the negotiations are happening.

00:32:34,385 --> 00:32:37,285
German politicians in the leader in the white suit are

00:32:37,285 --> 00:32:39,365
talking whatever they're discussing.

00:32:39,685 --> 00:32:41,685
Honestly, you can't imagine prime minister Golden Mirror

00:32:41,685 --> 00:32:44,365
and the Knesset will respond in any way to blackmail.

00:32:45,345 --> 00:32:48,445
So ironic, I've been a Middle East expert in Beirut

00:32:48,445 --> 00:32:51,125
for five years, and yet I have never gotten this close

00:32:51,125 --> 00:32:52,445
to the air of Israeli conflict.

00:32:52,515 --> 00:32:55,005
Hang on one second. Peter, can we get his voice alive when

00:32:55,005 --> 00:32:56,245
We go in here? I'll give it a shot.

00:32:57,045 --> 00:32:58,365
Jennings, this is Bader.

00:32:58,465 --> 00:33:00,805
Any idea how many Palestinians are inside?

00:33:01,645 --> 00:33:03,345
You see a lot of heads popping out of windows.

00:33:04,195 --> 00:33:05,825
These men are definitely professionals.

00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:09,305
I suspect they're deliberately trying to gr confusion.

00:33:10,815 --> 00:33:12,385
There's a second commando on the balcony.

00:33:12,645 --> 00:33:16,785
Now brandishing is sub machine gun like a threat. F*****g

00:33:17,115 --> 00:33:18,115
Arabs. What you,

00:33:18,115 --> 00:33:19,625
my mother's from

00:33:19,785 --> 00:33:20,985
Algeria talking about your mother.

00:33:21,125 --> 00:33:22,825
Hey, just the bad Arabs.

00:33:23,825 --> 00:33:25,665
Whatever conception you have of Arabia

00:33:26,005 --> 00:33:28,145
or Arabs, you need to understand

00:33:28,145 --> 00:33:29,745
how sensitive the situation is.

00:33:30,295 --> 00:33:31,825
This is no longer the Olympics.

00:33:32,075 --> 00:33:34,065
Thank you Peter for uh, clarifying.

00:33:34,245 --> 00:33:36,425
And it does bring up a good question.

00:33:37,695 --> 00:33:39,345
What should we call them on the air?

00:33:39,885 --> 00:33:41,345
The news We would refer to them

00:33:41,365 --> 00:33:43,505
as commando gorillas command.

00:33:43,505 --> 00:33:45,065
That sounds like we're in Vietnam.

00:33:45,415 --> 00:33:46,865
What should they call 'em on German radio

00:33:47,995 --> 00:33:48,995
Terrorists.

00:33:49,295 --> 00:33:52,145
What was that They used? Terrorists.

00:33:52,775 --> 00:33:54,545
Okay, let's, let's go with that.

00:33:55,085 --> 00:33:56,625
That's a charged term.

00:33:57,825 --> 00:33:59,345
Terrorism is the organized

00:33:59,345 --> 00:34:01,745
and systematic use of violence to get civilians

00:34:01,745 --> 00:34:03,185
to affect a political goal.

00:34:04,035 --> 00:34:06,065
Isn't that pretty much what's happening here?

00:34:06,565 --> 00:34:08,585
Nobody knows yet what is happening here.

00:34:08,765 --> 00:34:10,385
So we have to be very careful about

00:34:10,385 --> 00:34:11,585
everything we say on air.

00:34:13,285 --> 00:34:15,625
No offense guys, but you're sports.

00:34:16,085 --> 00:34:19,145
You're way over your head. News should take over

00:34:22,315 --> 00:34:23,315
Peter.

00:34:23,455 --> 00:34:24,985
Just call us back in a couple of minutes.

00:34:30,965 --> 00:34:33,025
He might be right. Okay.

00:34:33,025 --> 00:34:34,865
Look, I know this isn't a responsibility

00:34:34,865 --> 00:34:38,105
that everyone wants, but does it make more sense

00:34:38,405 --> 00:34:41,185
to have a talking head from news takeover from halfway

00:34:41,185 --> 00:34:42,265
across the f*****g world?

00:34:43,525 --> 00:34:45,385
Our job is to tell the stories

00:34:45,805 --> 00:34:48,225
of these individuals whose lives are at

00:34:48,225 --> 00:34:49,865
stake a hundred yards away.

00:34:50,565 --> 00:34:52,665
And our job is really straightforward.

00:34:53,605 --> 00:34:55,225
We put the camera in the right place

00:34:56,085 --> 00:34:59,945
and we follow the story as it unfolds in real time.

00:35:00,935 --> 00:35:02,865
News can tell us what it all meant after it's over

00:35:02,865 --> 00:35:03,945
and I'm sure they're gonna try.

00:35:05,335 --> 00:35:09,195
But this is our story and we're keeping it.

00:35:10,695 --> 00:35:13,625
Alright. You heard the boss. We have 45 minutes left.

00:35:14,165 --> 00:35:15,225
Do we have an opener yet?

00:35:22,255 --> 00:35:23,425
It's 50 and a two 50.

00:35:23,455 --> 00:35:27,545
Alright, four fresh rolls. 50 day locate.

00:36:13,845 --> 00:36:14,065
You

00:36:14,065 --> 00:36:15,065
Ready? Ready.

00:36:15,065 --> 00:36:15,265

00:36:48,245 --> 00:36:51,665
That's our opener. We sign please.

00:36:52,165 --> 00:36:53,705
Kev Two. That's good. But I need the balcony

00:36:53,925 --> 00:36:55,705
to be at the very center of the shot. Charlie,

00:36:56,085 --> 00:36:57,085
You got it. Cool. Break

00:36:57,085 --> 00:36:57,665

00:37:01,235 --> 00:37:02,235
Power cam. Get nice

00:37:02,235 --> 00:37:04,705
and close on that roof. You gotta push it.

00:37:05,375 --> 00:37:07,465
Yeah, keep going. There you go.

00:37:08,055 --> 00:37:11,185
Okay. Talk me through.

00:37:11,295 --> 00:37:14,265
Yeah, so you have a gym on cam one.

00:37:14,965 --> 00:37:16,905
Cam two has a live shot of the balcony.

00:37:17,595 --> 00:37:19,025
Tower cam is an aerial view

00:37:19,025 --> 00:37:21,145
of the entire Olympic village and can zoom in.

00:37:21,445 --> 00:37:24,025
And we got 60 millimeter footage on tape

00:37:24,025 --> 00:37:25,425
machines three through six.

00:37:28,255 --> 00:37:30,755
And we can now hear Jen's live on the air.

00:37:30,855 --> 00:37:32,035
We also have an overview

00:37:32,035 --> 00:37:34,755
of the hostages plus an interview with one of them.

00:37:34,755 --> 00:37:36,515
David Berger. It's ready for playback.

00:37:38,485 --> 00:37:41,615
Good work. Five minutes everyone.

00:37:42,365 --> 00:37:44,055
Five minutes. Take your positions.

00:37:44,345 --> 00:37:45,455
Tower cam. I want you to start

00:37:45,455 --> 00:37:46,815
with an establishing pan over the

00:37:46,815 --> 00:37:48,455
spectators and then push it.

00:37:48,455 --> 00:37:51,335
I want to gut punch closeup of that terrorist.

00:37:51,525 --> 00:37:53,615
Jeff, can you, can you turn it down a notch?

00:37:53,725 --> 00:37:55,295
It's not track and field.

00:37:55,525 --> 00:37:57,015
It's, they threatened to kill people

00:37:57,075 --> 00:37:58,895
And noon deadline confirm.

00:38:00,235 --> 00:38:04,375
Uh, yeah, What do I tell other cameras?

00:38:05,365 --> 00:38:06,365
Well, what Do you Mean?

00:38:06,365 --> 00:38:07,095
I mean, can we

00:38:07,095 --> 00:38:09,255
show someone being shot on live television?

00:38:15,505 --> 00:38:16,605
We can't control what happens.

00:38:17,425 --> 00:38:18,525
No, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:38:18,525 --> 00:38:20,405
We're the only station going live with this,

00:38:20,695 --> 00:38:22,645
which means everyone will be watching us,

00:38:22,645 --> 00:38:24,405
including the hostages families.

00:38:26,275 --> 00:38:27,725
Okay. Okay. It's a hallway.

00:38:33,465 --> 00:38:35,085
All right, everyone stay on your headsets.

00:38:36,545 --> 00:38:39,045
You don't want anybody to see their kid execute.

00:38:39,515 --> 00:38:42,245
Tell So I, I don't know about the Israelis,

00:38:42,265 --> 00:38:44,325
but David Berger's folks are in Ohio,

00:38:44,905 --> 00:38:46,245
so I'm pretty sure they'll watch.

00:38:46,355 --> 00:38:48,005
Well, someone should tell them not to watch it,

00:38:48,105 --> 00:38:49,645
but we have a bigger responsibility here.

00:38:49,715 --> 00:38:50,805
What about the sponsors?

00:38:51,425 --> 00:38:53,245
The sponsor just are not gonna be concerned.

00:38:53,465 --> 00:38:55,245
All they care about. Yes. We have two minutes viewers.

00:38:55,315 --> 00:38:57,865
Okay. Yeah. So, so is, is that what we're trying

00:38:57,865 --> 00:38:58,905
to achieve here is ratings?

00:38:59,085 --> 00:39:02,625
No, we're just, we're following the

00:39:02,635 --> 00:39:04,345
story wherever it

00:39:04,345 --> 00:39:05,345
Takes Us. Right. Then

00:39:05,345 --> 00:39:07,025
let me ask you this. Let me ask you this.

00:39:07,555 --> 00:39:09,025
Black September, they know the

00:39:09,025 --> 00:39:10,145
whole world is watching, right?

00:39:10,145 --> 00:39:11,705
That's why they chose the Olympics.

00:39:12,125 --> 00:39:16,345
If I'm saying if they shoot someone on live television,

00:39:18,115 --> 00:39:19,445
wait, whose story is that?

00:39:20,705 --> 00:39:22,005
Is it ours or is it theirs?

00:39:24,385 --> 00:39:26,645
How about this? If things intense,

00:39:26,645 --> 00:39:28,445
we only leave the 16 millimeter running.

00:39:28,445 --> 00:39:29,605
That gives us plenty of time

00:39:29,605 --> 00:39:31,245
to decide whether we air it or not.

00:39:32,595 --> 00:39:33,485
Yeah. That's it.

00:39:37,585 --> 00:39:38,125
That's it.

00:39:38,185 --> 00:39:39,685
That's it. That's it. Thank You.

00:39:42,025 --> 00:39:46,445
30 seconds to open. Okay, here we go,

00:39:49,345 --> 00:39:50,345
Jim. Ready? Yet

00:39:50,345 --> 00:39:50,565

00:39:50,935 --> 00:39:51,935
We're last. Looks

00:39:51,935 --> 00:39:53,605
speed.

00:39:54,475 --> 00:39:55,965
Time check one, two. All Set.

00:39:57,945 --> 00:40:00,245
Cam one tight on Jim, two on preview.

00:40:00,615 --> 00:40:03,245
Tower cam statewide on building 31. Got it.

00:40:03,465 --> 00:40:05,125
Gladys opening Title of five.

00:40:08,935 --> 00:40:13,445
Clear the frame please. D seconds. Title one.

00:40:13,445 --> 00:40:18,405
Ready for insert. Okay, people. And 10, 9, 8.

00:40:18,835 --> 00:40:20,605
Roll. 2, 7, 6.

00:40:21,105 --> 00:40:24,765
If things do get tense, go to the on gut reaction shots.

00:40:24,765 --> 00:40:27,005
Right? Two one. We're on

00:40:30,955 --> 00:40:31,955
Roll two.

00:40:31,955 --> 00:40:33,045
Open. Title on five.

00:40:39,815 --> 00:40:43,605
Ready? One, take one. Jim, you're on.

00:40:44,115 --> 00:40:45,845
Good morning. I'm Jim McKay speaking

00:40:45,865 --> 00:40:49,805
to you live at this moment from a b, C headquarters just

00:40:49,805 --> 00:40:52,005
outside the Olympic Village in Munich, west Germany.

00:40:52,145 --> 00:40:53,445
Two on preview, The piece

00:40:53,445 --> 00:40:56,285
of would've been called the Serena Olympics was shattered

00:40:56,475 --> 00:40:59,805
just before it dawn this morning about five o'clock 33 when

00:40:59,975 --> 00:41:02,525
terrorists dis armed the submachine guns,

00:41:02,535 --> 00:41:04,565
faces blackened, climbed the fence.

00:41:04,565 --> 00:41:08,085
31 went to the headquarters of the Israeli team, Zo one,

00:41:08,225 --> 00:41:10,165
and immediately killed one man.

00:41:10,575 --> 00:41:11,965
Mosha Weinberg a coach.

00:41:12,105 --> 00:41:14,165
Two shots in the head, one in the stomach.

00:41:14,555 --> 00:41:17,405
They've been holding 14 others hostage since then.

00:41:17,785 --> 00:41:19,005
And the latest re report is

00:41:19,005 --> 00:41:20,525
that one more two has been killed.

00:41:20,595 --> 00:41:22,085
Take two. Peter Jennings is

00:41:22,085 --> 00:41:23,845
inside the village. Let's go to Peter now.

00:41:24,585 --> 00:41:27,445
Jim, I'm directly across from the Israeli building.

00:41:27,985 --> 00:41:31,205
It will be a famous number before law 31.

00:41:31,545 --> 00:41:33,365
It is on con rasa.

00:41:33,545 --> 00:41:36,645
The reports here vary dramatically as to what is going on.

00:41:36,815 --> 00:41:38,045
Peter, do we already know

00:41:38,045 --> 00:41:39,525
who is responsible for the attack?

00:41:40,575 --> 00:41:42,445
There was a great deal of speculation.

00:41:42,465 --> 00:41:44,605
One could indulge in which would be risky,

00:41:44,785 --> 00:41:45,965
but if I were to guess,

00:41:46,205 --> 00:41:48,205
I would most likely narrow in on a group

00:41:48,205 --> 00:41:49,525
called Black September.

00:41:50,035 --> 00:41:52,325
That however, is pure speculation.

00:41:52,515 --> 00:41:55,005
Something that is not speculation is that one

00:41:55,105 --> 00:41:56,785
of the hostages is David Berger.

00:41:56,785 --> 00:41:59,505
26 years old, a former United States citizen.

00:41:59,605 --> 00:42:00,945
We are told by the Israelis.

00:42:01,035 --> 00:42:02,425
Moved there about two years ago.

00:42:02,695 --> 00:42:04,465
He's in the late heavyweight class. Take one.

00:42:04,465 --> 00:42:06,905
After receiving a law degree from Columbia University,

00:42:07,665 --> 00:42:09,545
Berger failed to qualify for the US team

00:42:10,125 --> 00:42:11,745
to fulfill his dream of the Olympics.

00:42:12,325 --> 00:42:14,785
He immigrated to Israel two days ago.

00:42:15,165 --> 00:42:16,825
He was interviewed by Peter Jennings

00:42:16,825 --> 00:42:18,105
for an a b, C color piece.

00:42:19,325 --> 00:42:20,745
That's what the Olympics are all about.

00:42:20,745 --> 00:42:23,585
You know, we are here, we can talk to Germans,

00:42:24,175 --> 00:42:25,345
chat with athletes from Lebanon.

00:42:27,135 --> 00:42:28,425
This is what we've been dreaming about,

00:42:28,965 --> 00:42:31,625
you know, not just sports.

00:42:33,175 --> 00:42:34,585
Back to one clean.

00:42:35,765 --> 00:42:38,545
I'm gonna get back to s Klines and wait for the latest

00:42:38,855 --> 00:42:42,145
Bird caption on my key. And now,

00:42:42,685 --> 00:42:44,905
Ladies and gentlemen, these dreams have been shattered

00:42:44,905 --> 00:42:46,345
by this terrible, terrible attack.

00:42:46,925 --> 00:42:49,105
The terrorists have demanded the release

00:42:49,105 --> 00:42:52,825
of some 200 Arab girl prisoners in Israel in exchange

00:42:52,825 --> 00:42:54,345
for the lives of Israeli athletes.

00:42:54,445 --> 00:42:57,105
And they had set a deadline of noon, which saying

00:42:57,105 --> 00:42:58,345
that they were going to kill all

00:42:58,345 --> 00:42:59,465
of their hostages at that time.

00:42:59,465 --> 00:43:01,985
That deadline obviously has passed, so nobody knows

00:43:01,985 --> 00:43:03,025
what is gonna happen now.

00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:07,145
Same is last time.

00:43:24,045 --> 00:43:25,965
I can't believe she's the negotiator.

00:43:27,545 --> 00:43:29,605
She doesn't strike me as the hard boiled type.

00:43:31,915 --> 00:43:34,965
Well, if the terrorists underestimate her like you didn't,

00:43:35,105 --> 00:43:37,205
she probably has a chance to get information.

00:43:38,955 --> 00:43:42,045
Just look, she's asking him for a cigarette.

00:43:42,545 --> 00:43:45,165
No, no, no. She's earning his trust.

00:43:51,045 --> 00:43:52,645
I just wish I could hear what she's saying.

00:43:57,455 --> 00:43:59,955
The Olympics at this moment are still continuing.

00:43:59,985 --> 00:44:01,315
It's a very strange atmosphere.

00:44:01,315 --> 00:44:02,435
As I said, we're only about 500

00:44:02,435 --> 00:44:03,475
yards from this building here.

00:44:03,605 --> 00:44:06,435
We'll take four within 200 yards of where that building is.

00:44:06,435 --> 00:44:08,035
There's a kind of a manmade pond,

00:44:08,295 --> 00:44:09,435
not a formal swimming pool,

00:44:09,435 --> 00:44:11,395
but a very lovely pond with a little dock

00:44:11,395 --> 00:44:13,075
where the athletes lie out and take sun.

00:44:13,335 --> 00:44:14,555
And that's what they're doing right now.

00:44:14,555 --> 00:44:16,515
They're out there sunning themselves, they're swimming,

00:44:16,785 --> 00:44:19,275
talking about technique with athletes of other countries.

00:44:19,275 --> 00:44:21,675
And yet this grim terrible thing is taking

00:44:21,685 --> 00:44:22,875
place inside the village.

00:44:24,485 --> 00:44:27,835
300 yards closer. Uh, well take a look at this right now.

00:44:27,835 --> 00:44:30,475
This is a live picture action in boxing, going on

00:44:30,995 --> 00:44:33,235
a crowded arena here at the box Hollow.

00:44:33,335 --> 00:44:35,235
In the in in Munich.

00:44:35,235 --> 00:44:36,915
Volley volleyball is also taking place

00:44:37,155 --> 00:44:38,435
incidentally. Dwayne, Bob, I'll

00:44:38,435 --> 00:44:39,635
Make sure we still have the bird. We're

00:44:39,635 --> 00:44:41,395
Scheduled to fight at just about any time.

00:44:41,575 --> 00:44:43,115
Is he talking about Don't we still have three?

00:44:43,415 --> 00:44:46,635
We swap slots. The Arab nations that are here are

00:44:51,045 --> 00:44:53,625
Sudan, Tanisha, Morocco, they're all here.

00:44:53,885 --> 00:44:55,305
No word from them as yet.

00:44:55,565 --> 00:44:57,825
Uh, no indication that there will be any statement.

00:45:07,445 --> 00:45:08,545
Can we get a cup of coffee? Please

00:45:23,715 --> 00:45:24,065
Agree.

00:45:24,565 --> 00:45:26,505
You just sent with one person who can understand this.

00:45:28,455 --> 00:45:29,865
Something's happening here.

00:45:29,965 --> 00:45:33,505
And con it seems like they're bringing food.

00:45:33,565 --> 00:45:38,065
Now, if you ask me, there's a policeman dressed as cooks.

00:45:38,965 --> 00:45:40,225
Howard. Keep tracking them.

00:45:42,405 --> 00:45:44,665
My half blind grandmother could tell these cooks are cops.

00:45:47,625 --> 00:45:50,565
Bru again. NBC has that satellite at three. What's your

00:45:50,565 --> 00:45:51,565
Suggestion? Change it.

00:45:51,565 --> 00:45:52,885
That's my f*****g suggestion,

00:45:52,995 --> 00:45:54,485
because they can't have this slide.

00:45:55,305 --> 00:45:57,165
You guys will think of something I gotta keep going.

00:46:01,575 --> 00:46:04,005
Looks like they're proving the food isn't poison.

00:46:07,025 --> 00:46:09,245
Now the cooks seem eager to carry the food,

00:46:09,305 --> 00:46:11,685
but the leader takes it from them.

00:46:17,035 --> 00:46:20,285
Goes in alone. Whatever the Germans tried

00:46:20,285 --> 00:46:22,125
to achieve here, it failed.

00:46:23,225 --> 00:46:26,285
The long range forecast is said today. That high radiation

00:46:36,345 --> 00:46:38,125
In the Italian apartment. Yeah.

00:46:39,125 --> 00:46:42,685
Watching Channel 11, Israeli tv. Who is that?

00:46:43,175 --> 00:46:45,205
Gimme Channel 11. Not

00:46:45,225 --> 00:46:48,245
yet cleared situation.

00:46:59,285 --> 00:47:03,965
I think that's Tu ky. He's one of the Israelis who escape.

00:47:05,025 --> 00:47:08,685
Why don't we have him? Larry, run over to the lack.

00:47:08,915 --> 00:47:10,645
Grab that guy. Bring him here. I'm on it.

00:47:10,985 --> 00:47:12,245
And tell jj we're hungry.

00:47:13,305 --> 00:47:15,205
I'm not German food, please. I

00:47:25,905 --> 00:47:26,905
What's all that mean?

00:47:27,185 --> 00:47:28,485
New ultimatum. 5:00 PM

00:47:28,985 --> 00:47:32,125
And we're moving in now on the windows behind,

00:47:32,125 --> 00:47:34,405
which at this moment, nine.

00:47:34,435 --> 00:47:38,045
Terrified living human beings are being held prisoner.

00:47:38,745 --> 00:47:40,845
The demands have been many.

00:47:40,845 --> 00:47:44,605
There is someone right now, uh, that certainly has

00:47:44,605 --> 00:47:45,685
to be one of the gorillas.

00:47:46,065 --> 00:47:47,925
One of 'em is believed to be a woman.

00:47:48,785 --> 00:47:51,465
And this has happened time and time and time again.

00:47:51,465 --> 00:47:53,385
The door opening, the head coming out

00:47:53,385 --> 00:47:54,505
to see what is going on.

00:47:54,895 --> 00:47:57,785
Sure. Play that back in slow mode. Will you

00:48:02,965 --> 00:48:04,865
We see the moment again here in slow motion.

00:48:08,375 --> 00:48:11,185
It's been such a terribly tantalizing symbol

00:48:11,365 --> 00:48:12,365
Of this Situation. Mass

00:48:12,365 --> 00:48:14,425
Control wants a block of five. Now. What's going

00:48:14,445 --> 00:48:15,745
On inside that head?

00:48:17,205 --> 00:48:18,705
Jim? Commercial break in 10 seconds.

00:48:19,405 --> 00:48:21,705
We are gonna take a very short station break at this

00:48:21,705 --> 00:48:23,785
point, and hopefully when we get back, uh,

00:48:23,785 --> 00:48:25,465
we have at least some answers for you. He's

00:48:25,465 --> 00:48:27,865
Off the commercial And we're clear.

00:48:28,045 --> 00:48:29,705
The Kodak back in three.

00:48:30,575 --> 00:48:31,945
This is the camera and film.

00:48:33,245 --> 00:48:34,465
See, it's on the competition

00:48:41,675 --> 00:48:44,105
still the only ones providing live coverage. Yeah,

00:48:44,655 --> 00:48:44,945
Like

00:48:54,245 --> 00:48:55,625
my heart is very heavy today.

00:48:56,725 --> 00:48:59,585
As an a athlete and as an Arab, I would like

00:48:59,585 --> 00:49:03,065
to express my solidarity with my Israeli colleagues.

00:49:03,605 --> 00:49:06,585
And I pray that everything ends well.

00:49:08,805 --> 00:49:10,745
Excuse me, may I ask you if you have question?

00:49:10,835 --> 00:49:13,905
Think he's scared in the village. Uh, no.

00:49:15,215 --> 00:49:17,745
What is the discipline? Why you listen?

00:49:18,765 --> 00:49:21,425
Any comment on the current situation? I, I go guys.

00:49:22,095 --> 00:49:23,905
Guys, he's here.

00:49:50,325 --> 00:49:51,325
30 Seconds.

00:50:00,245 --> 00:50:01,305
Hey, Jim. S around.

00:50:02,365 --> 00:50:03,425
So this is about as close

00:50:03,425 --> 00:50:04,705
as you're gonna get to the hostages.

00:50:04,705 --> 00:50:05,705
Make it count.

00:50:06,725 --> 00:50:06,945
And

00:50:07,135 --> 00:50:12,135
5, 4, 3, 2, 1,

00:50:12,215 --> 00:50:13,215
Take one.

00:50:14,675 --> 00:50:16,305
We're coming to you live from a b,

00:50:16,305 --> 00:50:17,705
c headquarters in Munich, west Germany.

00:50:17,885 --> 00:50:19,145
I'm sitting right now with a man

00:50:19,225 --> 00:50:20,265
who's just come into the studio.

00:50:20,445 --> 00:50:24,265
His name is Truvia Koski. He is on the extreme left here.

00:50:24,445 --> 00:50:26,305
The gentleman in the middle is Naim Kdi

00:50:26,305 --> 00:50:27,625
translator for the Israeli team.

00:50:27,925 --> 00:50:29,705
Mr. Koski does not speak English.

00:50:29,705 --> 00:50:31,905
He is the coach of the weightlifters

00:50:32,005 --> 00:50:33,825
and came out of that room today.

00:50:33,915 --> 00:50:35,825
Would you ask him just to tell us they wanna talk

00:50:35,825 --> 00:50:37,465
to briefly what happened today?

00:50:37,725 --> 00:50:38,505
Truvia Marco

00:50:51,565 --> 00:50:55,465
At about four 30, uh, this morning I had, I was, uh,

00:50:55,465 --> 00:50:57,305
fast asleep when I woke up. And,

00:50:57,805 --> 00:51:01,065
Uh, Jeff, tell Jim more about to lose his satellite

00:51:01,755 --> 00:51:03,065
While we're in the middle of the interview.

00:51:03,485 --> 00:51:04,465
In a couple of seconds, all

00:51:04,465 --> 00:51:05,745
anyone's gonna see is a black screen.

00:51:06,655 --> 00:51:08,025
Have to tell him to say something.

00:51:10,165 --> 00:51:13,465
Jim, Jim, CBS is taking the satellite. Look.

00:51:13,465 --> 00:51:15,185
We can keep recording, but wrap the segment on.

00:51:15,765 --> 00:51:17,185
I'm sorry. We've run out time.

00:51:17,185 --> 00:51:18,625
We'd like to continue the interview on

00:51:18,625 --> 00:51:19,825
tape and we'll have it later.

00:51:19,925 --> 00:51:21,385
We are losing the satellite right now.

00:51:21,765 --> 00:51:24,225
The Arab gorillas are still in the Israeli quarters.

00:51:24,685 --> 00:51:26,065
One man is dead. Uh, Mr.

00:51:26,255 --> 00:51:28,905
Codi tells me another man is now definitely dead,

00:51:28,905 --> 00:51:30,665
but we don't know his identity as yet.

00:51:31,285 --> 00:51:33,785
The tense battle goes on the deadline. Five o'clock.

00:51:33,785 --> 00:51:35,745
That's in an hour and 45 minutes.

00:51:36,005 --> 00:51:39,185
Jim McKay, as the Olympics continue in Munich, west Germany

00:51:39,415 --> 00:51:40,225
Dissolved to five,

00:51:44,175 --> 00:51:45,175
Five minutes. We're

00:51:45,175 --> 00:51:46,185
in the middle of something. What are

00:51:46,185 --> 00:51:47,025
We doing? What's

00:51:47,025 --> 00:51:48,025
Going on? CBS insists

00:51:48,025 --> 00:51:48,705
on this lot.

00:51:48,705 --> 00:51:49,705
They say they're keeping it

00:51:49,705 --> 00:51:51,385
unless we share the feed. Why can't

00:51:51,385 --> 00:51:52,385
We share? When do we get it back? Well,

00:51:52,385 --> 00:51:52,665

00:51:52,685 --> 00:51:54,745
For What, when do we get it back?

00:51:55,305 --> 00:51:58,425
I don't know When we could give it to CBS,

00:51:58,425 --> 00:51:59,905
but we could show our logo in the stream.

00:52:00,055 --> 00:52:02,465
What do you mean? Oh, I just put a BC up there.

00:52:03,005 --> 00:52:05,145
Um, and just, just leave it there constantly in the top

00:52:05,145 --> 00:52:06,145
Corner. What transmission

00:52:06,145 --> 00:52:06,785
are you talking?

00:52:07,015 --> 00:52:08,065
Well, it'd be output only.

00:52:08,365 --> 00:52:10,465
So he just put his permanent superpose on it.

00:52:10,615 --> 00:52:11,705
Yeah, do that. Yeah.

00:52:11,705 --> 00:52:14,345
Mm-hmm. Okay. So I'm gonna put on CBS

00:52:28,095 --> 00:52:29,095
Logo. Ready on four.

00:52:29,095 --> 00:52:31,065
Back on the bird.

00:52:31,975 --> 00:52:34,065
Tell Jim to start the interview where we left off.

00:52:35,255 --> 00:52:35,985
Take up the interview.

00:52:36,855 --> 00:52:41,505
5, 4, 3, 2, 1,

00:52:41,535 --> 00:52:42,535
Take one.

00:52:48,165 --> 00:52:49,225
You want the store or no?

00:52:55,775 --> 00:52:57,505
Well, he, he, he,

00:52:58,005 --> 00:53:01,385
he hasn't got any real practical suggestions.

00:53:01,645 --> 00:53:04,625
He feels that, uh, one should not give in, but, uh,

00:53:04,685 --> 00:53:07,425
and he leaves the whole affair to in the hands

00:53:07,445 --> 00:53:09,385
of the security people, the professionals.

00:53:10,005 --> 00:53:13,745
On the other hand, he yearns for the moment that his friends

00:53:13,965 --> 00:53:18,625
and all his colleagues, his, his athletes whom he had known

00:53:18,685 --> 00:53:22,225
for so many years, family men will be out safely.

00:53:23,785 --> 00:53:25,225
I can see the emotion that he's feeling.

00:53:25,295 --> 00:53:26,385
It's very hot in this room.

00:53:26,785 --> 00:53:28,425
I can't tell you how much I appreciate Mr.

00:53:28,745 --> 00:53:30,865
Sikowski taking the time to tell this story

00:53:30,865 --> 00:53:32,625
to us. Thank you too.

00:53:33,235 --> 00:53:33,705
Thank you.

00:53:43,895 --> 00:53:46,545
They're suspending the games visa.

00:53:55,045 --> 00:53:57,025
The important thing right now is that the games

00:53:57,125 --> 00:54:00,385
of the 20th Olympiad have now been officially suspended.

00:54:00,645 --> 00:54:02,105
And as you can see from this footage

00:54:02,105 --> 00:54:04,745
that has just reached us, the situation

00:54:04,745 --> 00:54:07,705
outside the apartment is becoming increasingly confusing.

00:54:21,755 --> 00:54:23,635
Sunshine As the police just gave

00:54:23,635 --> 00:54:24,795
green light for some action.

00:54:29,535 --> 00:54:29,755
Six.

00:54:36,775 --> 00:54:38,595
Police are clearing all press outta the village.

00:54:38,705 --> 00:54:41,275
What the police are clearing all press out of

00:54:41,275 --> 00:54:42,315
The village. Where'd you hear that?

00:54:42,625 --> 00:54:44,475
I've been listening to the police scan next door.

00:54:45,115 --> 00:54:46,875
Jennings. Jennings.

00:54:46,875 --> 00:54:49,275
You need to hide what the police are

00:54:49,275 --> 00:54:50,435
clearing all the buildings.

00:54:53,985 --> 00:54:58,075
Guys, check the tower. Come get back to the police scanner.

00:54:58,815 --> 00:55:00,755
Get, get Jennings.

00:55:09,735 --> 00:55:10,795
All good. They

00:55:10,795 --> 00:55:11,795
Moved on. Okay, great.

00:55:11,795 --> 00:55:13,115
It looks like the

00:55:13,115 --> 00:55:14,195
police are about to make a move.

00:55:14,215 --> 00:55:15,215
Can you get back to the balcony?

00:55:16,415 --> 00:55:18,595
Yes. Give us a minute. Preview cam three.

00:55:19,935 --> 00:55:21,075
Jim, check your preview.

00:55:21,495 --> 00:55:22,595
We were told that there are men

00:55:22,745 --> 00:55:24,715
with guns beginning to train those guns. Take

00:55:24,715 --> 00:55:25,875
Tower Cam on the rooms

00:55:25,875 --> 00:55:27,715
where the two heads were sticking out a moment ago

00:55:27,715 --> 00:55:29,075
of the Arab gorilla lookouts

00:55:29,075 --> 00:55:29,955
Tower cam. Push it.

00:55:30,595 --> 00:55:33,915
I don't, I'm not sure these men have guns or, or cameras.

00:55:35,625 --> 00:55:37,755
That that's a gun. All right, that's a gun. Yeah.

00:55:38,295 --> 00:55:41,035
One man with binoculars, another with a gun.

00:55:41,485 --> 00:55:43,315
Peter Peter Jennings is in the village.

00:55:43,315 --> 00:55:45,115
Peter or Peter, can you see this going on?

00:55:46,065 --> 00:55:48,075
They're walking cautiously on the roof.

00:55:48,625 --> 00:55:50,795
Hopefully not being heard in the rooms below.

00:55:52,425 --> 00:55:55,275
This is happening now, if you can possibly believe

00:55:55,275 --> 00:55:57,875
that at the games of the 20th Olympiad

00:55:58,455 --> 00:55:59,795
within a few hundred yards,

00:55:59,795 --> 00:56:01,955
some athletes are still training on the running track.

00:56:04,525 --> 00:56:07,915
Volleyball competition is going on. Look at this.

00:56:08,225 --> 00:56:12,275
This is right now volleyball competition going

00:56:12,295 --> 00:56:13,355
on in the Olympic Games.

00:56:13,375 --> 00:56:14,835
As we said, the games have been interrupted,

00:56:14,835 --> 00:56:17,595
but only at the conclusion of competition

00:56:17,595 --> 00:56:19,715
that was going on when the announcement was made.

00:56:20,785 --> 00:56:24,885
Now back to the now, back to the

00:56:25,915 --> 00:56:28,125
real world, I guess you'd call it at this point.

00:56:29,005 --> 00:56:30,325
Although this seems like the unreal one

00:56:33,945 --> 00:56:34,945
Go bird caption.

00:56:42,565 --> 00:56:44,685
I don't seem prepared at all. Yeah,

00:56:45,415 --> 00:56:46,415
Yeah, you don't.

00:56:59,155 --> 00:57:01,265
These cops have no idea what they're doing.

00:57:01,685 --> 00:57:03,185
No wonder they lost the war.

00:57:08,725 --> 00:57:11,225
But a shame that most people see this in black and white.

00:57:12,205 --> 00:57:16,105
Not in America. Every bus driver has a color TV nowadays.

00:57:16,565 --> 00:57:19,545
And the athletes here, Germans put a color

00:57:19,605 --> 00:57:20,665
TV in every apartment.

00:57:21,485 --> 00:57:22,945
So are they seeing what we're seeing?

00:57:24,735 --> 00:57:25,745
Whatcha talking about?

00:57:27,885 --> 00:57:29,505
Are the terrorists seeing this?

00:57:31,095 --> 00:57:32,625
They aren't receiving a, B, C here.

00:57:33,005 --> 00:57:36,145
Yes, they are inside the Olympic village.

00:57:37,875 --> 00:57:40,865
Every athlete can access any international station.

00:57:49,025 --> 00:57:50,245
Cam two pan a bit down.

00:57:55,345 --> 00:57:59,635
Push in. That's a tv,

00:58:16,715 --> 00:58:17,115
A, B, C

00:58:32,415 --> 00:58:33,415
Bat. What's

00:58:33,415 --> 00:58:35,715
going on? Off cameras off.

00:58:39,775 --> 00:58:43,515
You do not point a gun at my crew. Jesus Christ.

00:58:43,695 --> 00:58:47,675
All live cams off three. Charlie, that's you two.

00:58:47,675 --> 00:58:50,675
Turn the tower cam off. Happy.

00:58:51,495 --> 00:58:53,115
Hey, hey, hey. What's going on here?

00:58:54,065 --> 00:58:55,875
They just took us off the air. Who's

00:58:55,995 --> 00:58:56,995
In charge? This guy. You

00:58:56,995 --> 00:58:59,635
in charge? Yeah. You speak English.

00:59:01,175 --> 00:59:02,395
Get the f**k outta my studio.

00:59:03,535 --> 00:59:05,675
Out, out

00:59:09,545 --> 00:59:10,545
Operation.

00:59:14,215 --> 00:59:15,835
The police are climbing down from the roof.

00:59:15,895 --> 00:59:19,155
Now they seem to be calling off the attack.

00:59:20,125 --> 00:59:22,435
Looks like this was yet another failed attempt

00:59:22,435 --> 00:59:24,035
to get the situation under control.

00:59:27,615 --> 00:59:28,475
Was that our fault?

00:59:37,455 --> 00:59:40,595
Oh, let's just go to, we'll take a commercial. Okay.

00:59:40,925 --> 00:59:43,985
Commercial break. Five minutes. Here we go.

00:59:46,965 --> 00:59:48,025
Better? Can we talk

00:59:48,775 --> 00:59:49,775
Then? They should have cut the

00:59:49,775 --> 00:59:51,105
electricity to the apartment.

00:59:51,215 --> 00:59:53,385
It's not up to us to double check on them.

00:59:54,655 --> 00:59:57,665
Mark. It's not okay if we had it worse, you know that. We

00:59:57,665 --> 00:59:59,385
Don't even know why they called it off.

01:00:00,205 --> 01:00:03,345
The Germans seem generally pretty overwhelmed, right? They

01:00:03,345 --> 01:00:04,345
Are. I'm

01:00:04,345 --> 01:00:05,465
listening to the police radio.

01:00:05,655 --> 01:00:08,465
It's local cops doing things they have never done before.

01:00:08,925 --> 01:00:11,185
The German army gave them sniper rifles

01:00:11,185 --> 01:00:13,025
and had to instruct them on how to use them.

01:00:13,205 --> 01:00:15,225
Why doesn't the German army just do it itself?

01:00:15,455 --> 01:00:18,225
They're not allowed to operate here. German constitution.

01:00:18,225 --> 01:00:21,265
That's ridiculous. The rumor rumors Israel offered

01:00:21,285 --> 01:00:23,465
to send a special unit to help him out

01:00:23,565 --> 01:00:25,105
and the Germany refused it.

01:00:25,335 --> 01:00:27,665
They are just making one mistake after another

01:00:28,085 --> 01:00:30,585
and trying to act like they've got it all under control.

01:00:30,995 --> 01:00:33,385
Let's keep going. Maryanne, I want you

01:00:33,415 --> 01:00:34,825
with me in the control room.

01:00:34,835 --> 01:00:35,945
Bring the radio. Okay,

01:00:37,725 --> 01:00:39,425
Ladies And gentlemen, the Germans are back

01:00:39,425 --> 01:00:40,785
to negotiating this time.

01:00:41,345 --> 01:00:43,265
Interior minister Gen is joining them.

01:00:45,085 --> 01:00:47,465
The The leader only seems willing to talk to Ken.

01:00:48,175 --> 01:00:50,705
Wait, wait. Put me live. Put me live.

01:00:51,135 --> 01:00:52,225
What Will happen next? Jim?

01:00:52,225 --> 01:00:54,225
Peter has some breaking info. We're going to, um,

01:00:54,345 --> 01:00:56,185
I just got word that something is happening at

01:00:56,295 --> 01:00:58,505
Connell Esa. Peter, you have news.

01:00:59,205 --> 01:01:00,465
Thanks Jim. Yes.

01:01:00,575 --> 01:01:02,225
Moments ago a window opened

01:01:02,405 --> 01:01:04,505
and for the first time, now we're seeing

01:01:04,535 --> 01:01:05,585
some of the hostages.

01:01:05,685 --> 01:01:07,905
No, we're not. Might as well be listening

01:01:07,905 --> 01:01:10,585
to the f*****g radio cam two tower.

01:01:10,585 --> 01:01:12,745
Either you have an angle on this clear

01:01:12,745 --> 01:01:14,785
Shot, me Clear crystal.

01:01:16,085 --> 01:01:17,745
And also how many terrorists are visible.

01:01:18,115 --> 01:01:20,025
We've seen two hostages so far.

01:01:20,135 --> 01:01:22,745
They were led to the window. One after the other.

01:01:23,695 --> 01:01:25,915
One gorilla with an AK 47 behind him.

01:01:26,265 --> 01:01:28,795
This is ridiculous. It's a terrible suck.

01:01:29,295 --> 01:01:30,515
Uh, that sounds very dramatic.

01:01:30,525 --> 01:01:31,875
Peter, ladies and gentlemen.

01:01:32,335 --> 01:01:35,435
Um, we're sorry that we can't show you a

01:01:35,435 --> 01:01:36,435
Live. Yeah. Jeff, turn the camera's

01:01:36,435 --> 01:01:36,595

01:01:36,595 --> 01:01:37,595
Back on. You got it, Ruth.

01:01:37,595 --> 01:01:39,875
Alright, we're back in business.

01:01:40,015 --> 01:01:41,195
All cam's back on

01:01:43,335 --> 01:01:44,335
Cam two. Back on

01:01:44,335 --> 01:01:45,555
cam three. Back on.

01:02:05,245 --> 01:02:07,505
Anyone know who that is? The

01:02:08,495 --> 01:02:09,495
Fencing court.

01:02:14,755 --> 01:02:17,905
Andre Spitzer. 27 years old.

01:02:22,685 --> 01:02:24,425
Gladys, I'm gonna need you to make a caption.

01:02:25,795 --> 01:02:26,905
Andre Spitzer

01:02:31,175 --> 01:02:32,175
Caption ready.

01:02:32,805 --> 01:02:33,985
Insert Spitzer graphic.

01:02:38,725 --> 01:02:41,825
It looks like Spitzer wants to tell Cher something.

01:02:46,205 --> 01:02:47,865
Now he's dragged away from the window

01:02:48,925 --> 01:02:50,785
and the curtains are closed again.

01:02:53,305 --> 01:02:56,795
Cher is talking to the leader. He seems furious.

01:02:59,905 --> 01:03:01,035
What is she saying?

01:03:02,255 --> 01:03:05,595
Ter offered to to swap himself with the Israeli hostages,

01:03:06,215 --> 01:03:08,235
but the terrorists refused the offer.

01:03:08,935 --> 01:03:13,115
Um, ter insists on going inside to see how the hostages are

01:03:13,255 --> 01:03:14,475
The leaders taking Ganter

01:03:14,535 --> 01:03:16,435
and another official into the apartment.

01:03:16,575 --> 01:03:17,575
Now,

01:03:18,215 --> 01:03:21,595
As someone asked, um, if they already know the destination

01:03:21,595 --> 01:03:23,315
for the flight, flight,

01:03:23,375 --> 01:03:24,395
Flight flight,

01:03:25,225 --> 01:03:27,435
There's talk of flying them out of the country.

01:03:29,585 --> 01:03:31,115
Well, where could they fly? What

01:03:34,435 --> 01:03:35,435
Everyone shut up. Please.

01:03:35,435 --> 01:03:39,915
Shut up. They're giving orders.

01:03:41,615 --> 01:03:46,115
The the police woman tell, tell the leader

01:03:46,305 --> 01:03:48,315
that it takes time to prepare the plane.

01:03:48,865 --> 01:03:51,395
They mentioned two helicopters to fly the hostages

01:03:51,395 --> 01:03:53,035
and the terrorists to the airport.

01:03:53,905 --> 01:03:55,275
What airport? They didn't say

01:03:55,315 --> 01:03:56,315
They're coming back out.

01:03:57,655 --> 01:03:58,675
Ken. She seemed shocked.

01:03:59,975 --> 01:04:02,355
God only knows what horrors he saw in there.

01:04:02,575 --> 01:04:04,955
Uh, Kyle. They, they said Kyle has a destination.

01:04:05,105 --> 01:04:07,155
Okay, listen up. We need to find out

01:04:07,155 --> 01:04:09,035
where in the village these choppers can land

01:04:09,215 --> 01:04:10,515
and what airport they're gonna go to

01:04:10,515 --> 01:04:11,915
for the transfer. The sun is

01:04:11,915 --> 01:04:13,555
Beginning to sink behind the buildings.

01:04:14,065 --> 01:04:16,835
There's some way from darkness yet, but they can't help

01:04:16,835 --> 01:04:19,555
but think what a difficult task this would be if the

01:04:19,555 --> 01:04:21,795
commandos got out in the Olympic village after

01:04:21,825 --> 01:04:22,825
Dark. Got it.

01:04:22,825 --> 01:04:23,255

01:04:24,025 --> 01:04:27,315
Yeah. Green's the obvious choice, but probably not.

01:04:27,315 --> 01:04:29,395
It's too much air traffic. Ox Oxford.

01:04:29,705 --> 01:04:33,835
It's too far away that they just mentioned a,

01:04:33,955 --> 01:04:35,515
a flight time of five to seven minutes.

01:04:35,575 --> 01:04:36,915
Uh, with the helicopters. What

01:04:36,915 --> 01:04:38,475
Was the name of that little airport in the middle

01:04:38,475 --> 01:04:39,995
of nowhere where, where we picked

01:04:39,995 --> 01:04:41,035
up the equipment that time?

01:04:41,295 --> 01:04:43,835
Um, it was something felt first.

01:04:43,965 --> 01:04:46,355
First of Fen Brook first. Yeah,

01:04:46,355 --> 01:04:47,475
That was, that was the military airport

01:04:47,925 --> 01:04:49,155
First and felt book.

01:04:49,465 --> 01:04:51,035
That makes sense. No one's out there.

01:04:54,175 --> 01:04:55,715
Oh guys, did you hear that?

01:05:08,775 --> 01:05:10,595
What's Going on? We have eyes on these choppers.

01:05:11,545 --> 01:05:12,555
Come on, show me something.

01:05:12,855 --> 01:05:14,435
Howard, do you have eyes on the choppers?

01:05:15,235 --> 01:05:18,195
Negative Guys, I'm blind here. Come on gentlemen.

01:05:18,215 --> 01:05:20,875
Can you read these? Yeah.

01:05:20,875 --> 01:05:22,635
Howard, we've got you loud and clear. I

01:05:22,635 --> 01:05:25,795
See them two choppers approaching from Southeast

01:05:27,455 --> 01:05:28,455
Howard. We

01:05:28,455 --> 01:05:30,915
Exactly. Are you, are you inside the village planes?

01:05:31,095 --> 01:05:32,555
Yes. I'm at Gate six.

01:05:32,745 --> 01:05:35,675
They let me in after the boxing match. Ran into Gary here.

01:05:36,015 --> 01:05:37,075
I'm taking over his channel

01:05:37,935 --> 01:05:39,825
And they're talking about a bus now.

01:05:41,025 --> 01:05:43,585
A bus escorting them to the helicopters.

01:05:44,005 --> 01:05:45,865
Howard, are the police clearing out the area?

01:05:46,525 --> 01:05:49,425
No, it's packed. There are people with cameras everywhere.

01:05:50,135 --> 01:05:51,545
It's like Elvis has landed.

01:05:52,255 --> 01:05:56,065
They'll use the um, parking level below the apartments.

01:05:56,085 --> 01:05:59,585
Um, there's the next staircase. But building 12

01:06:00,925 --> 01:06:02,825
Howard, look behind you. Do you see a staircase?

01:06:03,445 --> 01:06:06,505
Uh, yeah. Okay. Go down it and look for a bus.

01:06:06,885 --> 01:06:08,865
Got it. Light in the hallway's on.

01:06:10,035 --> 01:06:11,265
Looks like they're leaving the apartment

01:06:11,315 --> 01:06:12,505
using the inner staircase.

01:06:14,285 --> 01:06:15,385
I'm in the parking area

01:06:15,485 --> 01:06:17,425
and it's a complete madhouse down there.

01:06:17,765 --> 01:06:19,585
Police and press are everywhere.

01:06:20,055 --> 01:06:22,505
There's men with cameras next to men with guns.

01:06:23,045 --> 01:06:24,745
Put him on the air. There's No connect.

01:06:24,895 --> 01:06:27,825
Olympic team and officials. Hash this mic

01:06:27,825 --> 01:06:29,585
Through to the air. Get him on the air.

01:06:30,245 --> 01:06:32,505
Uh, yep. You got it?

01:06:32,845 --> 01:06:36,145
Yep. Yeah. Uh, Jim, Pete,

01:06:36,245 --> 01:06:37,425
I'm just looping Howard in here.

01:06:37,655 --> 01:06:40,385
Good go. Howard,

01:06:40,395 --> 01:06:42,065
we're putting you live on the air with Jim and Peter.

01:06:42,575 --> 01:06:44,345
Word is they're flying out both the

01:06:44,385 --> 01:06:45,785
hostages and the terrorists.

01:06:46,075 --> 01:06:47,705
Let's hear Peter Jennings on this.

01:06:47,835 --> 01:06:49,465
Thank you Jim. My colleagues

01:06:49,465 --> 01:06:51,425
and I are scrambling to put the pieces together,

01:06:51,765 --> 01:06:54,385
but Howard Cosell is currently on location.

01:06:55,085 --> 01:06:56,385
Howard, this is Peter.

01:06:56,485 --> 01:06:57,945
Do you have something to report from there?

01:06:57,945 --> 01:07:00,385
Howard, go ahead. I certainly do. Peter.

01:07:00,605 --> 01:07:01,665
I'm in the parking garage.

01:07:01,795 --> 01:07:03,705
Terrorists and hostages are arriving.

01:07:03,715 --> 01:07:05,065
Their hands tied together.

01:07:05,485 --> 01:07:07,745
The police are here in almost platoon like numbers.

01:07:08,035 --> 01:07:10,985
We're building up to what I think will be quite the climax.

01:07:11,535 --> 01:07:13,225
Okay. The bus just came in.

01:07:13,615 --> 01:07:15,745
They're bringing the hostages to the bus.

01:07:15,885 --> 01:07:18,225
The terrorists have submachine guns pushing the

01:07:18,225 --> 01:07:19,505
young athletes onto the bus.

01:07:19,695 --> 01:07:22,425
According to unconfirmed reports, Cairo was named

01:07:22,425 --> 01:07:23,705
as the flight destination.

01:07:24,395 --> 01:07:27,505
There are helicopters waiting to bring the hostages, um,

01:07:27,565 --> 01:07:29,745
and the terrorists to a military airport

01:07:30,205 --> 01:07:31,785
for the changeover. Hey bridge. This

01:07:31,785 --> 01:07:32,785
Is tower. I have ice on

01:07:32,785 --> 01:07:33,305
the bus.

01:07:34,725 --> 01:07:37,545
Jim, I just ran onto the bridge. I can see them.

01:07:37,725 --> 01:07:38,865
One Arab is getting out.

01:07:40,055 --> 01:07:41,825
Flashes from the cameras are hitting him

01:07:41,825 --> 01:07:42,865
from every direction.

01:07:42,965 --> 01:07:45,105
He almost looks like a rock star walking on stage.

01:07:46,525 --> 01:07:47,945
Now I can see the Israelis.

01:07:48,385 --> 01:07:50,585
I hear something people shouting from the windows

01:07:50,725 --> 01:07:52,985
and balconies, but I don't know what it is.

01:07:55,815 --> 01:07:58,705
It's shalom. The Hebrew word for peace.

01:08:04,605 --> 01:08:07,305
The propellers are turning and the chopper is lifting off.

01:08:08,675 --> 01:08:12,145
These Israeli athletes are leaving the Olympic Village not

01:08:12,245 --> 01:08:14,425
as free and proud competitors of their country,

01:08:15,005 --> 01:08:17,425
but as victims of a brutal act of terror.

01:08:19,245 --> 01:08:21,705
The first helicopter now proceeding out over the main

01:08:21,705 --> 01:08:23,145
Olympic stadium flying

01:08:23,145 --> 01:08:26,945
around this tremendously high Olympic tower flying to

01:08:26,945 --> 01:08:30,025
what seems like the last chapter of the nerve wracking day.

01:08:31,055 --> 01:08:32,225
Stretch the show with sports

01:08:32,225 --> 01:08:33,425
until wave news from the airport.

01:08:33,605 --> 01:08:36,105
Sports. Yeah. General smooth over the transitions.

01:08:36,965 --> 01:08:37,585
The time being.

01:08:47,875 --> 01:08:50,585
Screw it. I want to see to how many hours.

01:08:51,095 --> 01:08:52,745
Jack, get right back here. Come

01:08:52,745 --> 01:08:53,745
Minutes. It's

01:08:53,745 --> 01:08:53,825

01:09:02,285 --> 01:09:03,285
Carter. Grab the 16

01:09:03,285 --> 01:09:04,945
millimeter. Get footage from the airport.

01:09:04,965 --> 01:09:06,625
You're gonna go with him. Take my car.

01:09:07,325 --> 01:09:08,705
You're the only one who speaks German.

01:09:09,775 --> 01:09:14,305
Okay. Was it parked back? Left blue. MW. Okay.

01:09:14,485 --> 01:09:17,025
Are they gonna really fly him out? I don't dunno.

01:09:18,045 --> 01:09:20,265
So that how the said in a shootout, we owe it

01:09:20,265 --> 01:09:22,625
To the athletes and their great perform.

01:09:24,285 --> 01:09:26,625
We need sound. Hank

01:09:36,705 --> 01:09:39,365
The 10,000 meter run was nearing the halfway mark.

01:09:39,365 --> 01:09:41,845
And out in front was Dave Bedford of England, followed

01:09:41,845 --> 01:09:43,885
by a little est gifter of Ethiopia

01:09:44,785 --> 01:09:48,485
and Mariano Harrow, Spain back in the pack.

01:09:48,975 --> 01:09:51,205
Musty bien in the dark jersey. Hey guys,

01:09:51,765 --> 01:09:53,245
Don't think there's anything left to do here.

01:09:53,385 --> 01:09:55,805
So how about I just come back to the studio, provide some

01:09:56,045 --> 01:09:57,045
Analysis. It's a great idea, Jenny,

01:09:57,045 --> 01:09:57,325
to

01:09:57,325 --> 01:09:58,445
get back here as soon as you can.

01:09:58,955 --> 01:10:00,085
Charlie, you might as well

01:10:00,085 --> 01:10:01,285
roll cam two back into the studio.

01:10:01,875 --> 01:10:03,525
Jeff, Jeff, you're gonna wanna see this.

01:10:03,565 --> 01:10:05,365
I think it's David Berger's father, have you

01:10:05,365 --> 01:10:07,325
Gotten any help from any of the governments

01:10:07,385 --> 01:10:08,725
or any of the agencies?

01:10:10,105 --> 01:10:14,685
No. All the information we have has come from

01:10:14,685 --> 01:10:15,805
the news television.

01:10:17,525 --> 01:10:19,645
I just hope they get the situation under control

01:10:22,725 --> 01:10:24,025
and we hear from our son soon.

01:10:24,525 --> 01:10:26,425
Is there anything you wanna say to his son right now?

01:10:27,105 --> 01:10:28,505
Maryanne, you read me. I just

01:10:28,505 --> 01:10:29,505
Want him to come Home.

01:10:29,565 --> 01:10:31,065
It, they're too far away.

01:10:31,505 --> 01:10:36,065
Toughest competition. Mar, you got anything?

01:10:37,015 --> 01:10:38,015
Hold on just a Second.

01:10:40,145 --> 01:10:42,145
Supposedly all hell's broken loose at the airport

01:10:43,085 --> 01:10:44,085
Coming up. They're

01:10:44,085 --> 01:10:47,905
shooting. What happened?

01:10:48,445 --> 01:10:48,945
Oh God.

01:10:55,725 --> 01:10:56,725
Carter,

01:10:58,815 --> 01:11:00,105
It's crazy out there.

01:11:00,215 --> 01:11:02,825
Massing traffic jams. Hundreds of people walking roads.

01:11:02,845 --> 01:11:05,345
The police couldn't even get through their tanks. Hey.

01:11:06,015 --> 01:11:06,305
Yeah.

01:11:42,485 --> 01:11:45,625
You see those lights? That's the airport.

01:11:47,745 --> 01:11:49,585
Everyone just left out cars behind and walked there.

01:11:55,405 --> 01:11:58,025
How do you get back here Man?

01:11:58,085 --> 01:12:02,265
To convince some God to lend us is here they are.

01:12:19,015 --> 01:12:23,425
This is great stuff. Car. We gotta get more of this. Okay.

01:12:29,455 --> 01:12:32,785
This is useless there. I saw some payphones.

01:12:32,795 --> 01:12:34,505
We'll call as soon as there's any news.

01:13:04,125 --> 01:13:06,545
How many more clips in the package? Uh, two.

01:13:06,795 --> 01:13:10,555
About 10 seconds. Okay, ready?

01:13:10,655 --> 01:13:11,875
One, take one

01:13:12,505 --> 01:13:15,875
With me now is Peter Jennings, who reported the whole day

01:13:15,875 --> 01:13:17,315
for us directly out of the village.

01:13:17,315 --> 01:13:18,555
Standby Peter. Peter, what

01:13:18,555 --> 01:13:20,715
Conclusions do you draw from these recordings?

01:13:21,025 --> 01:13:23,275
Clearly the German authorities will end it

01:13:23,425 --> 01:13:24,635
here and now Jim.

01:13:25,055 --> 01:13:27,395
But now they have to improvise us

01:13:27,895 --> 01:13:31,435
and so far they haven't proven themselves to be very good at

01:13:31,435 --> 01:13:32,435
That. There's no

01:13:32,435 --> 01:13:33,915
further reports at this moment.

01:13:33,965 --> 01:13:35,515
Maria Ann's on the phone. You know the head of the

01:13:35,515 --> 01:13:36,515
Olympic court. Hatch it through.

01:13:36,515 --> 01:13:39,075
Yeah.

01:13:40,055 --> 01:13:41,055
Can the footage Be used?

01:13:41,385 --> 01:13:42,915
Yeah. Yeah. We're watching it right now.

01:13:42,935 --> 01:13:45,115
We haven't on the air. Why? Listen, there

01:13:45,235 --> 01:13:47,235
Is a rumor going around here that the hostages

01:13:47,235 --> 01:13:49,835
Are free. What?

01:13:50,255 --> 01:13:51,555
The Hostages are free.

01:13:52,375 --> 01:13:53,515
That's amazing news.

01:13:53,775 --> 01:13:58,115
That's, hold on everybody listen to this man.

01:13:59,055 --> 01:14:00,075
Say what you just said to me

01:14:01,495 --> 01:14:02,495
For the last hour. We've

01:14:02,495 --> 01:14:05,275
been hearing gunshots a few minutes ago.

01:14:05,295 --> 01:14:06,795
The shooting suddenly stopped.

01:14:07,105 --> 01:14:09,915
Then a man from Hans Klein's office came up from the airport

01:14:09,935 --> 01:14:11,715
and said, the hostages are all free.

01:14:14,575 --> 01:14:17,235
Is this confirmed? I don't know, Jeff.

01:14:17,535 --> 01:14:20,035
People here are celebrating. Everyone is

01:14:25,565 --> 01:14:26,555
Hello. Check

01:14:26,555 --> 01:14:27,555
The Germans. ZDF.

01:14:27,555 --> 01:14:29,635
Now I don't know what they're saying, but they

01:14:29,635 --> 01:14:30,635
Sound Turn that off. Turn

01:14:30,635 --> 01:14:32,155
that off. Right there. I have to go.

01:14:32,455 --> 01:14:33,905
No, no, no, no, no, no. Stay on the line.

01:14:34,185 --> 01:14:35,705
I need you to translate something for me. Okay.

01:14:35,705 --> 01:14:36,705
Translate this.

01:14:49,485 --> 01:14:52,025
He says it too. They're all free. I know.

01:14:53,345 --> 01:14:54,585
ZDF is saying that they're all free.

01:14:55,175 --> 01:14:56,225
Then have Jim Announce it.

01:14:56,295 --> 01:14:57,665
Yeah, I'm gonna check with Marv.

01:14:57,735 --> 01:15:01,505
Okay, hold on, Marv.

01:15:01,975 --> 01:15:04,465
Yeah, we're watching it. It does it confirm?

01:15:05,765 --> 01:15:08,345
Not yet. I see clients press stop on the phone.

01:15:09,005 --> 01:15:11,905
See if they have serious doubts. Don't air it yet.

01:15:11,905 --> 01:15:13,065
Wait for the confirmation.

01:15:13,855 --> 01:15:15,585
Marv says that it's not confirmed yet.

01:15:15,975 --> 01:15:18,625
Then we have Jim use the phrase as we are hearing

01:15:21,745 --> 01:15:23,065
Terribly long day. We're coming up on.

01:15:23,255 --> 01:15:24,785
Look, Marv, we're gonna go with it.

01:15:24,965 --> 01:15:27,465
Uh, well we're gonna use the phrase as we're hearing.

01:15:28,495 --> 01:15:33,305
Where's room? Lemme talk to him. Jeff.

01:15:33,715 --> 01:15:35,905
Don't air it. We need two confirmed sources.

01:15:36,535 --> 01:15:38,385
Marv. We have to go now,

01:15:39,005 --> 01:15:41,145
If we air it, then everybody else will.

01:15:41,405 --> 01:15:44,705
So what We let CBS or NBC take the scoop. This isn't

01:15:44,705 --> 01:15:45,705
The competition.

01:15:45,855 --> 01:15:47,305
Wait for confirmation

01:15:48,645 --> 01:15:51,745
Was what would you advise Jeff?

01:15:52,365 --> 01:15:53,365
Do you read?

01:15:55,205 --> 01:15:59,185
And, uh, he almost cried his eyes filled with tears.

01:16:00,665 --> 01:16:04,705
I cannot say to these

01:16:05,645 --> 01:16:07,145
Jim, not face us and fight

01:16:07,145 --> 01:16:08,145
Us. We, we were getting

01:16:08,145 --> 01:16:08,625
good news.

01:16:09,605 --> 01:16:11,305
Sounds like all the hostages are free

01:16:12,005 --> 01:16:14,105
And Yet, but we need to use the phrase

01:16:14,325 --> 01:16:16,505
as we are hearing they're

01:16:16,505 --> 01:16:17,505
Alive. And

01:16:17,505 --> 01:16:19,785
uh, as we are hearing now, it appears

01:16:19,785 --> 01:16:22,105
that the Germans were able to free all hostages.

01:16:22,485 --> 01:16:25,025
But we don't know just yet what exactly happened there.

01:16:35,055 --> 01:16:38,145
Everybody's reporting it now. They're all just following our

01:16:38,145 --> 01:16:39,145
Lead. Well then it's good. We got

01:16:39,145 --> 01:16:39,865
it out there first. Oh

01:16:39,865 --> 01:16:40,865
Yeah. You know, Klein can't

01:16:40,865 --> 01:16:41,945
even find the guy

01:16:41,945 --> 01:16:43,105
at the fence who broke this.

01:16:43,115 --> 01:16:45,345
We're talking worldwide news based on the word

01:16:45,345 --> 01:16:47,265
of one mysterious man. No one's been.

01:16:47,285 --> 01:16:49,945
Oh, come on. Ru wanted me to give out. No,

01:16:49,945 --> 01:16:50,945
No, no, no. Jeff. Jeff. No.

01:16:50,945 --> 01:16:52,105
You pulled the trigger.

01:16:52,205 --> 01:16:54,105
Not ru, it's on ZDF Marvin.

01:16:54,605 --> 01:16:56,385
That's German state television. And this is a

01:16:56,425 --> 01:16:57,425
B, c. After

01:16:57,425 --> 01:16:59,545
the hostages were taken by

01:16:59,925 --> 01:17:01,145
and I vouched for you, Jeff.

01:17:01,465 --> 01:17:04,425
I vouched for you to a helicopter elsewhere.

01:17:05,685 --> 01:17:08,985
We never said it was a fact. We, we used as we are here.

01:17:09,015 --> 01:17:10,625
Yeah. And that's a f*****g technicality.

01:17:10,655 --> 01:17:12,945
Jeff Miles from uni when the,

01:17:18,935 --> 01:17:20,225
Jeff, I think what happens here,

01:17:20,655 --> 01:17:22,985
here in the next few minutes

01:17:23,085 --> 01:17:26,105
or hours may have a large effect on that.

01:17:26,725 --> 01:17:28,945
So all we can do is wait as you do.

01:17:29,215 --> 01:17:31,305
It's official. They're free.

01:17:33,815 --> 01:17:34,265
He's here.

01:17:42,135 --> 01:17:44,745
Mark. Yeah. Forget

01:17:57,715 --> 01:17:59,545
Until Monday if the organiz

01:18:04,925 --> 01:18:05,925
Cheers.

01:18:06,765 --> 01:18:10,145
Cheers. Good work everyone. Cheers. Good job everyone.

01:18:10,365 --> 01:18:13,465
Cheers. We're not done yet though.

01:18:13,725 --> 01:18:15,505
We need access to the cops of the airfield.

01:18:15,525 --> 01:18:16,385
I'm talking interviews

01:18:16,565 --> 01:18:17,985
behind the scenes, anything like that.

01:18:18,245 --> 01:18:20,665
And maybe we can even talk to the hostages.

01:18:23,735 --> 01:18:26,385
What he said that we had made broadcast history.

01:18:27,785 --> 01:18:29,025
Probably more people have seen this than watch

01:18:29,025 --> 01:18:30,105
Armstrong land on the moon

01:18:32,305 --> 01:18:33,305
Airplane.

01:18:33,965 --> 01:18:37,545
So you're gonna get a big bonus, honey. A f*****g drink.

01:18:40,965 --> 01:18:45,425
You Yeah. Oh yeah. Mason on deck.

01:18:45,935 --> 01:18:48,345
Yeah. Heck, that's good, right? Yeah.

01:18:49,115 --> 01:18:52,545
Since they, uh, left the building, it was also a fight.

01:18:52,645 --> 01:18:54,705
Inside. Now in our studio

01:18:55,325 --> 01:18:58,465
is Chancellor Branch's best Secretary Conrad ERs. It's an

01:18:58,465 --> 01:18:59,185
Honor. S is here.

01:18:59,485 --> 01:19:02,305
Was it agreed. Do you know, to allow the gorillas

01:19:02,305 --> 01:19:04,265
to go from the building to the helicopters?

01:19:04,615 --> 01:19:06,305
Well, just two hours ago.

01:19:06,925 --> 01:19:09,305
But of course that was part of the game.

01:19:09,845 --> 01:19:12,905
We never meant to let them go free out of this country.

01:19:13,605 --> 01:19:15,945
I'm very glad that as far as we can see now,

01:19:16,335 --> 01:19:19,545
this police action was successful as far as we can see.

01:19:20,135 --> 01:19:24,145
It's an unfortunate interruption of the Olympic games.

01:19:24,765 --> 01:19:27,945
But I mean, if all that comes out

01:19:28,005 --> 01:19:30,185
as we hope it will come out as we hope.

01:19:30,505 --> 01:19:32,985
I think it will be forgotten after a few weeks.

01:19:33,725 --> 01:19:36,505
And if the reports as we hear them are true,

01:19:36,845 --> 01:19:39,185
the games will continue probably by tomorrow after.

01:19:39,255 --> 01:19:40,425
Well, I'm quite sure,

01:19:40,485 --> 01:19:45,025
and you must understand that for us Germans, it was a tragic

01:19:45,665 --> 01:19:49,025
situation that all this happened to Jewish people.

01:19:49,285 --> 01:19:53,385
You know, after all our past, of course, it was our main,

01:19:54,285 --> 01:19:57,705
our main idea to get these Israelis free.

01:19:58,375 --> 01:20:01,425
Otherwise, you know, some

01:20:01,965 --> 01:20:04,865
of the old memories might have come back. It

01:20:04,865 --> 01:20:05,865
Doesn't sound right. Well,

01:20:05,865 --> 01:20:07,665
I think the people of the world are well aware

01:20:07,855 --> 01:20:09,105
that those can use your phone.

01:20:09,295 --> 01:20:13,105
Were trying to free the Israelis today. Ajour. Yes.

01:20:13,225 --> 01:20:15,025
I hope that they will. Don't forget that.

01:20:15,025 --> 01:20:16,225
They won't forget it. Thank

01:20:16,225 --> 01:20:17,225
You very much Mr. Secretary.

01:20:17,225 --> 01:20:18,505
Appreciate you taking the

01:20:18,505 --> 01:20:19,625
time to talk to us. Thank you.

01:20:20,005 --> 01:20:22,265
And we clear any word from the airport? Please?

01:20:22,475 --> 01:20:24,905
Can't get through. Same here. I don't hold for 20 minutes.

01:20:25,045 --> 01:20:26,745
How about the hostages? Don't you

01:20:26,745 --> 01:20:27,865
think we should give them a breach?

01:20:28,435 --> 01:20:32,625
Maybe. Guys, what about the bus drivers? Helicopter pilots.

01:20:32,625 --> 01:20:34,185
Come on. We gotta get creative here.

01:20:34,245 --> 01:20:35,265
We have a story to tell.

01:20:35,605 --> 01:20:39,385
Let me talk to Hans. Why can't I?

01:20:42,455 --> 01:20:45,265
What do you mean what? Conrad Olives just announced it on

01:20:45,265 --> 01:20:47,665
live television in our studio.

01:20:51,535 --> 01:20:52,705
Wait, wait. What did you say?

01:20:55,775 --> 01:20:57,865
There's still shooting going on at the airport.

01:21:02,555 --> 01:21:04,705
We're still shooting at the airport. What? We were wrong.

01:21:04,705 --> 01:21:05,865
They're still shooting at the airport.

01:21:06,205 --> 01:21:07,425
Jim has to go on there and say something.

01:21:08,305 --> 01:21:10,905
I know it wasn't true 'cause I got a f*****g TV set too.

01:21:10,975 --> 01:21:13,905
Just tell me what happened. Jim. Peter,

01:21:14,725 --> 01:21:15,985
Listen, this is gonna be tough.

01:21:16,205 --> 01:21:18,785
Oh, that's why I'm asking you. I'm asking you as a friend.

01:21:19,805 --> 01:21:21,345
Please just tell me what happened.

01:21:22,285 --> 01:21:25,465
The latest word we get from the airport is that quote, all

01:21:25,465 --> 01:21:26,905
of hell is broken loose out there.

01:21:27,455 --> 01:21:29,265
That there is still shooting going on.

01:21:29,455 --> 01:21:32,545
That there, there's a report of a burning helicopter.

01:21:32,925 --> 01:21:35,785
But all seems to be confusion. Nothing is nailed down.

01:21:36,205 --> 01:21:38,305
We have no idea what has happened to the hostages.

01:21:38,365 --> 01:21:40,705
One of the men, by the way, was a hostage as far

01:21:40,705 --> 01:21:41,865
as we know, is still alive.

01:21:42,015 --> 01:21:44,345
It's David Berger who went to Columbia University.

01:21:44,345 --> 01:21:46,905
Chris, uh, he was the only American one member

01:21:46,905 --> 01:21:49,025
of the Israeli team that was being held captive.

01:21:49,445 --> 01:21:50,825
Uh, he was a weightlifter.

01:21:50,825 --> 01:21:52,945
Moved to Israel just about two years ago.

01:21:53,375 --> 01:21:54,505
Well, we'll keep you up to date.

01:22:04,175 --> 01:22:04,745
What happened?

01:22:12,055 --> 01:22:12,475
All of them.

01:22:20,265 --> 01:22:21,555
What if this is just a rumor,

01:22:22,015 --> 01:22:23,395
but I mean, we don't What did they say?

01:22:23,395 --> 01:22:24,715
They said that there were gunshots.

01:22:25,255 --> 01:22:27,795
Did they? Kle heard it from three separate sources.

01:22:29,545 --> 01:22:30,545
It's over.

01:22:33,505 --> 01:22:35,995
It's b******t. We still have a team out there.

01:22:35,995 --> 01:22:37,355
They haven't even called us yet.

01:22:37,975 --> 01:22:39,515
We, we have to do something.

01:22:39,515 --> 01:22:40,635
We'll send another team out there.

01:22:40,665 --> 01:22:42,835
I'll go with them this time. And we have to get this right.

01:22:42,835 --> 01:22:45,315
This is our chance to get it right. Ru come on.

01:22:45,665 --> 01:22:49,435
Jeff. Miami's on the phone.

01:22:52,435 --> 01:22:52,555
I,

01:23:05,585 --> 01:23:06,585
Yeah.

01:23:16,545 --> 01:23:17,195
Okay. I think

01:23:38,885 --> 01:23:39,905
and one close on Jim.

01:23:40,255 --> 01:23:41,385
Yeah, only Jim

01:23:44,305 --> 01:23:45,305
General. The

01:23:45,305 --> 01:23:46,045

01:23:46,885 --> 01:23:47,885
So many. Um,

01:23:47,885 --> 01:23:49,465
are people

01:23:58,795 --> 01:23:59,145
ready?

01:23:59,205 --> 01:24:02,225
One, take one.

01:24:02,945 --> 01:24:04,105
I just gotten the final word.

01:24:04,365 --> 01:24:06,185
You know, when I was a kid, my father used to say,

01:24:06,185 --> 01:24:08,905
our greatest hopes and our worst fears are seldom realized.

01:24:09,085 --> 01:24:11,025
Our worst fears have been realized tonight.

01:24:11,695 --> 01:24:14,265
They've now said that there were 11 hostages.

01:24:14,885 --> 01:24:16,745
Two were killed in their rooms.

01:24:18,175 --> 01:24:20,785
This mor yesterday morning, nine

01:24:22,015 --> 01:24:23,985
were killed at the airport.

01:24:24,375 --> 01:24:25,945
Tonight they're all gone,

01:24:27,765 --> 01:24:31,585
but it's all over the Israeli Olympic team is

01:24:31,585 --> 01:24:33,625
destroyed much of it.

01:24:35,085 --> 01:24:37,865
But what will happen to the games of the 20th Olympiad?

01:24:38,335 --> 01:24:40,585
None of us know what will happen to

01:24:41,325 --> 01:24:42,465
the course of world history.

01:24:42,485 --> 01:24:43,485
We don't know.

01:25:29,655 --> 01:25:32,105
Okay. You all right?

01:25:34,085 --> 01:25:38,265
Uh mm. No.

01:25:38,325 --> 01:25:43,185
Um, innocent people died in Germany again,

01:25:44,005 --> 01:25:45,785
and we failed Germany.

01:25:45,805 --> 01:25:46,805
Failed

01:25:48,785 --> 01:25:51,065
Marianne, I'm sorry I sent you out there.

01:25:52,185 --> 01:25:54,385
I can only imagine the things you saw.

01:25:55,965 --> 01:25:59,065
Uh, I saw nothing. I I was there with hundreds of people.

01:25:59,165 --> 01:26:01,985
We stared into the night.

01:26:02,085 --> 01:26:03,745
We were waiting for something to happen

01:26:03,745 --> 01:26:05,585
because we wanted to take a picture of it.

01:26:17,895 --> 01:26:19,155
Uh, Jeff room

01:26:19,155 --> 01:26:20,155
It like a word.

01:26:27,925 --> 01:26:30,225
See you tomorrow. Yeah.

01:26:54,765 --> 01:26:55,765
Mm-hmm.

01:27:01,135 --> 01:27:04,305
Hang on one second. It's gonna be a

01:27:04,305 --> 01:27:05,665
commemoration at the stadium tomorrow.

01:27:05,725 --> 01:27:08,225
10:00 AM I got us the bird.

01:27:08,845 --> 01:27:10,105
Jim and Jennings are gonna anchor,

01:27:10,205 --> 01:27:11,465
and I want you to be in charge.

01:27:16,105 --> 01:27:17,145
I know it might not feel like it,

01:27:17,145 --> 01:27:18,145
but you did a hell of a job today.

01:27:20,345 --> 01:27:23,585
I, it was a catastrophe.

01:27:28,695 --> 01:27:32,275
Get some rest. Run.

01:27:35,015 --> 01:27:38,195
We need to talk about a one hour special for tomorrow. Okay?

01:27:38,905 --> 01:27:41,275
Okay. You're right back. Now I have an approach.

01:27:44,615 --> 01:27:46,795
We take a flash unit out to the airport.

01:27:48,545 --> 01:27:51,835
Helicopters will still be there. We'll see them in daylight.

01:27:53,615 --> 01:27:54,155
What's left?

01:36:09,695 --> 01:36:11,875
All right. Well, they've seen the movie now, guys,

01:36:12,335 --> 01:36:15,235
and, uh, they're probably shaking it off right now.

01:36:16,975 --> 01:36:19,915
Congratulations again on, on this achievement,

01:36:20,175 --> 01:36:22,595
and there's so many things to talk about with it.

01:36:22,855 --> 01:36:24,995
But, uh, let me just start with you, Tim.

01:36:25,095 --> 01:36:27,755
You're the director, obviously, and co-writer.

01:36:28,295 --> 01:36:29,795
And how did this idea come about?

01:36:29,795 --> 01:36:33,715
Because we've seen so many things on this subject, um,

01:36:34,015 --> 01:36:37,475
you know, before Oscar winning documentaries, Munich, uh,

01:36:37,475 --> 01:36:39,755
Steven Spielberg's film from different points of view.

01:36:39,775 --> 01:36:41,675
But what was it about this that made the time right

01:36:41,975 --> 01:36:43,555
to tell this particular story?

01:36:44,375 --> 01:36:46,195
Uh, yes. I'm very glad to answer that.

01:36:46,255 --> 01:36:49,315
Uh, first I want to take a moment to maybe, um, know

01:36:49,315 --> 01:36:51,875
that maybe a lot of people from LA are also watching

01:36:51,875 --> 01:36:53,355
to acknowledge the situation there.

01:36:53,455 --> 01:36:57,195
And, uh, we see it here from, even see it from the outside.

01:36:57,225 --> 01:36:58,635
It's so, um, devastating.

01:36:58,635 --> 01:37:01,395
So I can only imagine what it means if you live in the city

01:37:01,495 --> 01:37:04,755
and you know, many people that are affected by this fire

01:37:04,935 --> 01:37:08,315
and, and this tragedy, um, since I, I've been a child,

01:37:08,315 --> 01:37:10,595
like Hollywood is like the dream right?

01:37:10,595 --> 01:37:12,435
Of, of my, of as a filmmaker.

01:37:12,695 --> 01:37:14,635
But I've never got to know the city really well.

01:37:14,735 --> 01:37:17,235
But now, I, I, with this touring with the film, I met

01:37:17,235 --> 01:37:20,195
so many people and I realized why this is the mecca

01:37:20,195 --> 01:37:21,275
of cinema because there are

01:37:21,275 --> 01:37:23,835
so many passionate people about the arts of cinema.

01:37:23,935 --> 01:37:25,435
And so it's, yeah.

01:37:25,495 --> 01:37:28,835
And to see that now that stabbing the heart of that city,

01:37:28,905 --> 01:37:30,115
it's, it's, uh, devastating.

01:37:30,305 --> 01:37:31,355
Well, thank you for that.

01:37:31,575 --> 01:37:34,955
And yeah, everybody is affected, but they're resilient

01:37:35,375 --> 01:37:37,115
and, uh, we're gonna get through it.

01:37:37,535 --> 01:37:39,835
Uh, you know, this happens all over the world.

01:37:39,845 --> 01:37:42,395
These, these human events that are just

01:37:42,455 --> 01:37:44,875
so extraordinary and to watch yes.

01:37:44,875 --> 01:37:48,995
People, you know, come to things where they weren't prepared

01:37:49,055 --> 01:37:52,715
for this and then really go into action is what this Yes.

01:37:52,715 --> 01:37:54,875
This movie really shows, which must have been

01:37:54,875 --> 01:37:56,275
what intrigued you about doing it.

01:37:57,595 --> 01:37:59,555
Absolutely. I mean, I first came in touch

01:37:59,555 --> 01:38:01,515
with the subject when watching, um,

01:38:01,725 --> 01:38:04,555
Kevin McDonald's wonderful documentary that I'm sure you,

01:38:04,555 --> 01:38:08,195
you've seen, um, uh, one day in September, um,

01:38:08,985 --> 01:38:12,675
that I saw as a teenager still when I was in my hometown in

01:38:12,725 --> 01:38:15,355
Basel cinema, in the cinema was actually produced by a bar.

01:38:15,375 --> 01:38:17,185
So producer Arthur Cohen.

01:38:18,045 --> 01:38:21,345
And then I studied in Munich and the Munich even. Yeah.

01:38:21,405 --> 01:38:24,025
The stories differently present, I would say.

01:38:24,025 --> 01:38:25,865
And I was always interested in that subject.

01:38:26,725 --> 01:38:31,145
And then the 50th anniversary actually was coming closer.

01:38:31,285 --> 01:38:34,465
We were starting to worry, uh, talking about it in 2022.

01:38:35,005 --> 01:38:38,385
And after my two first movies, I finally felt ready to start

01:38:38,485 --> 01:38:41,745
to think about doing something about that day

01:38:41,745 --> 01:38:43,225
because I was always interested in it.

01:38:43,725 --> 01:38:46,905
Me and Moritz and the producers, we started to quite broadly

01:38:47,425 --> 01:38:49,745
research on what happened on that day,

01:38:50,685 --> 01:38:55,425
and then learned more and more what we didn't know

01:38:55,425 --> 01:38:59,865
before, what an important role the media actually played on

01:38:59,865 --> 01:39:04,345
that day, and that it was a turning point in media history.

01:39:05,325 --> 01:39:08,905
And then the all deciding moment was a conversation

01:39:08,975 --> 01:39:12,185
that we had with Jeffrey Mason, that's the character played

01:39:12,185 --> 01:39:14,065
by John Magaro in the movie you just saw.

01:39:15,135 --> 01:39:19,395
Um, and yeah, Moritz and I had, uh,

01:39:19,395 --> 01:39:20,755
and the producers were also involved.

01:39:20,755 --> 01:39:23,715
We had a very creative team of producers, um,

01:39:24,295 --> 01:39:26,315
in a Zoom call, just like this one.

01:39:26,775 --> 01:39:30,395
Um, and thought like, it's gonna be like we, we were glad

01:39:30,395 --> 01:39:31,995
to find an eyewitness, talk to him,

01:39:32,065 --> 01:39:33,395
what happened a little bit.

01:39:33,955 --> 01:39:36,275
I thought this will be like a 10, 20 minute zoom call.

01:39:36,295 --> 01:39:39,075
And it was like a two hours almost zoom call or so.

01:39:39,095 --> 01:39:42,315
And afterwards, it was really interesting to listen

01:39:42,425 --> 01:39:45,315
what they experienced and what challenges they, they faced.

01:39:46,295 --> 01:39:48,315
We learned so many new things, for example,

01:39:48,315 --> 01:39:50,515
that the police came in the studio, into the studio,

01:39:50,515 --> 01:39:51,715
something that we didn't know

01:39:51,815 --> 01:39:53,515
and tell them to out off the cameras.

01:39:54,695 --> 01:39:57,635
And that was the first time that we then thought like, okay,

01:39:58,345 --> 01:40:00,005
you know what, maybe it would be interesting

01:40:00,005 --> 01:40:01,845
to tell the story entirely from that perspective.

01:40:02,315 --> 01:40:04,725
Yeah. And, and so well done, Moritz.

01:40:04,745 --> 01:40:05,765
Let me ask you about that.

01:40:05,765 --> 01:40:07,525
Since you, you researched it all

01:40:08,385 --> 01:40:11,445
and found your way into a story that, you know,

01:40:11,785 --> 01:40:14,565
people may see September five and just see brief things.

01:40:14,665 --> 01:40:16,445
Oh, it's about the Munich Olympics and that,

01:40:16,445 --> 01:40:17,485
and think they've seen it.

01:40:18,075 --> 01:40:19,685
That the key thing for me,

01:40:19,865 --> 01:40:21,965
and now that this group that we're talking

01:40:21,985 --> 01:40:24,525
to here has just seen the film, no, that's not true.

01:40:24,945 --> 01:40:26,965
We have not seen this story ever.

01:40:28,205 --> 01:40:30,975
This, yeah, that was exactly my feeling too, when we, uh,

01:40:30,975 --> 01:40:32,215
first talked to Jeffrey Mason,

01:40:32,215 --> 01:40:35,135
because, you know, he, uh, he talked us

01:40:35,135 --> 01:40:38,135
through his 22 hours in, in a way that I've never heard

01:40:38,135 --> 01:40:41,255
before, like, like this, this, this rush on that day,

01:40:41,635 --> 01:40:44,455
the questions that they came up that day.

01:40:44,595 --> 01:40:47,015
And we immediately had the feeling we're,

01:40:47,635 --> 01:40:49,455
we are hearing this story for the first time.

01:40:49,555 --> 01:40:53,375
And we were so, like, research wise, we were so lucky

01:40:53,375 --> 01:40:56,535
because it was such a life changing day that day

01:40:56,595 --> 01:40:57,735
for everybody involved.

01:40:57,875 --> 01:41:00,255
So there were a lot of people writing about that day,

01:41:00,255 --> 01:41:02,655
like in biographies or scientific papers.

01:41:02,715 --> 01:41:06,495
So the research material was very rich and very detailed,

01:41:06,555 --> 01:41:09,655
and we found so many aspects in there that we thought

01:41:09,725 --> 01:41:12,615
that were never been before.

01:41:13,315 --> 01:41:17,025
It was a life changing thing, not just for those involved,

01:41:17,205 --> 01:41:19,185
uh, there, but for the news business.

01:41:19,615 --> 01:41:23,345
This was the first time really you saw a live event going

01:41:23,445 --> 01:41:26,665
out globally like that in real time.

01:41:26,855 --> 01:41:31,825
This was a monumental turning point for television. Yeah.

01:41:32,385 --> 01:41:33,705
I, I wanna add, yeah, even

01:41:33,705 --> 01:41:36,505
before the tragedy happened, the Munich games were that

01:41:36,775 --> 01:41:40,425
because it was the first Olympics on turmoil, uh, uh,

01:41:40,595 --> 01:41:43,505
since 36, which was misuse for fascist propaganda,

01:41:44,125 --> 01:41:46,345
and they had a new mission, Germany, they wanted

01:41:46,345 --> 01:41:48,825
to send out this, this image of the new liberal

01:41:49,865 --> 01:41:53,305
post-war Germany, actually in our film.

01:41:53,335 --> 01:41:56,545
That, that, that, that state of mind is represented

01:41:56,605 --> 01:41:58,385
by the character of Leoni Banish.

01:41:58,725 --> 01:42:02,355
And for that, they had set up cameras everywhere,

01:42:03,355 --> 01:42:06,015
and it was also the first broadcast, uh, uh,

01:42:06,015 --> 01:42:10,015
Olympic broadcast that could go globally to, they were live,

01:42:10,115 --> 01:42:11,695
uh, satellite broadcast before,

01:42:11,715 --> 01:42:13,735
but not globally, where it has been perceived by

01:42:13,755 --> 01:42:15,055
so many countries.

01:42:15,835 --> 01:42:19,735
And the, the venues were designed for optimal TV coverage,

01:42:19,915 --> 01:42:23,655
and then that whole apparatus had to make that switch

01:42:24,125 --> 01:42:25,215
Just extraordinary.

01:42:25,755 --> 01:42:29,135
And to see what you've done, I wanna ask Hans Jork,

01:42:29,155 --> 01:42:32,575
who is the film editor here, who did an extraordinary job

01:42:33,355 --> 01:42:37,175
and has received many awards already on it, um,

01:42:37,875 --> 01:42:41,655
had a real interesting task here, not just to cut

01:42:41,655 --> 01:42:44,295
what you shot, but all this archival footage.

01:42:44,995 --> 01:42:47,175
Jim McKay is not played by an actor.

01:42:47,315 --> 01:42:50,775
Jim McKay is played by Jim McKay, essentially here,

01:42:51,115 --> 01:42:52,575
and you're merging all of this.

01:42:52,605 --> 01:42:56,215
Talk about the challenges on sjo of this particular film

01:42:56,275 --> 01:42:58,695
and all those moving parts of it.

01:42:59,205 --> 01:43:04,095
Yeah, the, uh, um, the challenge, uh, was the, the

01:43:04,625 --> 01:43:06,975
sheer abundance of footage we had.

01:43:06,975 --> 01:43:08,575
They, they shot a lot of footage.

01:43:08,845 --> 01:43:11,535
Plus, as you mentioned it, uh, we had all

01:43:11,535 --> 01:43:13,855
that archival footage, uh,

01:43:13,855 --> 01:43:15,735
and we had to bring that together.

01:43:16,235 --> 01:43:19,735
The footage was shot, like, like, uh, news, uh,

01:43:19,735 --> 01:43:21,455
reporters team would shoot.

01:43:22,155 --> 01:43:26,855
Um, and, uh, we mixed it with the archive archival footage.

01:43:27,155 --> 01:43:31,535
And, uh, talking about Jim McKay, we, uh, uh,

01:43:31,555 --> 01:43:36,335
ba basically we treated him as a, as a, a character in,

01:43:36,395 --> 01:43:38,375
in our film, like as an, as an actor.

01:43:38,995 --> 01:43:42,975
Uh, the, the only difference was that, uh, we,

01:43:42,995 --> 01:43:45,255
we didn't have different takes from him

01:43:45,255 --> 01:43:49,815
because we just had the original broadcast tapes, uh, and,

01:43:49,835 --> 01:43:51,455
and not, uh, all the cameras,

01:43:51,755 --> 01:43:54,015
but just what went out that day.

01:43:54,475 --> 01:43:57,175
So, uh, they frequently cut away from him,

01:43:57,315 --> 01:43:59,935
so we didn't have everything on him.

01:44:00,635 --> 01:44:03,855
Uh, we had to build the cut around it,

01:44:04,035 --> 01:44:05,735
but it, it worked out pretty well

01:44:05,735 --> 01:44:10,495
because it, it was also, uh, an integral part

01:44:10,495 --> 01:44:11,495
of the script already.

01:44:12,035 --> 01:44:16,665
So we knew, uh, what, what we could use, what we had.

01:44:17,165 --> 01:44:21,665
The only challenge, uh, uh, uh, for, for, for that point was

01:44:21,665 --> 01:44:23,745
that we weren't sure to get the rights

01:44:23,875 --> 01:44:26,105
until two weeks prior to shooting.

01:44:26,325 --> 01:44:31,065
Wow. So we were lucky, uh, to, to, uh,

01:44:31,525 --> 01:44:32,585
got that secured.

01:44:33,445 --> 01:44:36,465
Oh my God. A producer's nightmare. Moritz, I imagine here.

01:44:37,095 --> 01:44:38,225
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:44:38,225 --> 01:44:40,185
But, but, but, uh, we always, I mean,

01:44:40,185 --> 01:44:41,985
we talked always about a plan B, but,

01:44:42,165 --> 01:44:43,985
but I think we never had a plan B

01:44:43,985 --> 01:44:47,465
because we, we were, so we really wanted to have like,

01:44:47,465 --> 01:44:49,185
the original footage, because Tim

01:44:49,185 --> 01:44:51,585
and I always say like, the best lines in the script

01:44:52,295 --> 01:44:53,425
weren't written by us.

01:44:53,565 --> 01:44:57,465
It was just Jimmy Kay reacting in that situation, in

01:44:57,465 --> 01:45:00,505
that moment, um, like he does.

01:45:00,725 --> 01:45:03,785
And it was so extraordinary what he did that day.

01:45:03,885 --> 01:45:06,385
So we really wanted to get that original footage

01:45:06,945 --> 01:45:09,945
included into the, the script and then the, the film.

01:45:10,655 --> 01:45:13,305
Yeah. And it, it, it adds a lot of, um,

01:45:14,145 --> 01:45:15,985
authenticity to the film.

01:45:16,565 --> 01:45:21,345
Um, which, uh, if if we had to reenact it, uh, him with,

01:45:21,345 --> 01:45:25,145
with an actor, it, it would've taken away a lot of that.

01:45:25,805 --> 01:45:30,545
So we were very, very, uh, lucky to, to, uh, get the rights.

01:45:30,895 --> 01:45:34,505
Yeah. I think that's why this film has gotten such

01:45:34,505 --> 01:45:39,225
attention because it, of your approach to doing it,

01:45:39,285 --> 01:45:41,825
it isn't just a recreation and something like that.

01:45:41,925 --> 01:45:43,425
We feel like we're there.

01:45:44,245 --> 01:45:47,145
Um, the audience, it, it's a unique talent.

01:45:47,425 --> 01:45:51,305
I know it's not easy, um, to do that, to do

01:45:51,305 --> 01:45:52,345
that on a real event,

01:45:52,445 --> 01:45:56,225
but also to make it play like a suspense thriller.

01:45:56,705 --> 01:45:59,625
I was on the edge of my seat watching this movie.

01:46:00,015 --> 01:46:01,905
Yeah. That, that was our ultimate goal.

01:46:02,165 --> 01:46:06,145
Uh, but, but I, I must say, as the editor, the, the, uh,

01:46:06,765 --> 01:46:09,305
script was a, a page turner already.

01:46:09,525 --> 01:46:13,225
And, and my biggest fear was, uh, that, that I won't be able

01:46:13,285 --> 01:46:16,825
to translate that into, to the, uh, final film.

01:46:17,285 --> 01:46:20,385
Uh, but apparently, uh, uh, it, it worked out.

01:46:20,605 --> 01:46:23,985
And we spent a lot of time getting that, uh, that

01:46:24,935 --> 01:46:26,945
nail biting, clock ticking feeling.

01:46:26,995 --> 01:46:29,825
Right. But we also, uh, spend a lot

01:46:29,825 --> 01:46:32,385
of time in getting the emotional beats of the story.

01:46:32,395 --> 01:46:35,665
Right. And, and that, that was equally a challenge.

01:46:36,015 --> 01:46:39,065
Jeffrey Mason actually something he said, set the tone

01:46:39,325 --> 01:46:42,425
for us as the writers on how the script should feel,

01:46:42,425 --> 01:46:45,865
that it should have that feeling of a rush

01:46:46,175 --> 01:46:47,425
that they were also in.

01:46:47,445 --> 01:46:49,505
And the reflection only comes afterwards.

01:46:49,885 --> 01:46:52,785
That's how Deformation told us how it felt for them.

01:46:53,485 --> 01:46:57,785
And also, we didn't want to have any personal arcs

01:46:57,925 --> 01:47:00,905
or stories too much distracting for that.

01:47:00,965 --> 01:47:02,945
We wanted it to make it very much a movie

01:47:03,125 --> 01:47:07,105
or a script about people in their professional environment.

01:47:07,775 --> 01:47:10,745
Yeah. And Jeffrey Mason obviously is still alive.

01:47:11,445 --> 01:47:12,865
Uh, many of them aren't.

01:47:13,025 --> 01:47:14,945
Roone Arledge and other key figures here

01:47:14,945 --> 01:47:17,305
that Roone Arledge have played, uh, really brilliantly

01:47:17,325 --> 01:47:18,585
by Peter sars Garden

01:47:19,045 --> 01:47:23,785
and Jeffrey by John Magaro, who's just so good in this role.

01:47:24,085 --> 01:47:25,465
And I've just started to notice

01:47:25,465 --> 01:47:27,505
that he's in every movie I'm seeing lately.

01:47:28,245 --> 01:47:31,145
Uh, but you know, this movie really, all

01:47:31,145 --> 01:47:33,025
of a sudden I go like, wow.

01:47:33,445 --> 01:47:36,945
He, he's been hiding in plain sight as a major actor.

01:47:37,575 --> 01:47:39,585
Yeah. Also, what he did, I think like,

01:47:39,695 --> 01:47:44,505
because we together went to many control rooms of sport,

01:47:44,505 --> 01:47:47,625
of sports broadcasts today in New York, for example,

01:47:47,885 --> 01:47:51,425
we observed, um, for example, uh, basketball games

01:47:51,485 --> 01:47:55,665
or so that they broadcast just to see how the dynamics are.

01:47:56,085 --> 01:47:59,505
And I think you can tell that John study it.

01:47:59,825 --> 01:48:01,305
I mean, I even observed that, you know,

01:48:01,305 --> 01:48:02,545
that these directors in these rooms,

01:48:02,545 --> 01:48:04,345
they have a very special way of

01:48:05,065 --> 01:48:07,665
behaving almost like a conductor with their pens

01:48:07,725 --> 01:48:08,785
to the monitor wall.

01:48:09,205 --> 01:48:10,305
And he studied that.

01:48:10,325 --> 01:48:12,745
And I think I, I, I really, yeah,

01:48:13,095 --> 01:48:14,545
when I see the performance, I can tell

01:48:14,545 --> 01:48:17,185
that this is the real, this feels real

01:48:17,185 --> 01:48:19,625
because he saw these people in their environment.

01:48:19,905 --> 01:48:23,345
Some of the background actors are actually then people from,

01:48:23,615 --> 01:48:26,745
from these rooms that we did then end up casting for,

01:48:26,765 --> 01:48:28,185
for background, because Oh, is that right?

01:48:28,185 --> 01:48:30,385
Wow. In the background. Should have been, yes.

01:48:30,605 --> 01:48:34,185
And from from Germany though, uh, from Ger, I also went to,

01:48:34,185 --> 01:48:35,385
uh, German control rooms.

01:48:35,645 --> 01:48:37,825
And it's just, they have this very specific behavior.

01:48:38,325 --> 01:48:41,705
And at the same time, they could also help us always observe

01:48:41,725 --> 01:48:43,625
if everything is more or less accurate.

01:48:43,975 --> 01:48:46,745
Even though technology has changed, it's still the same

01:48:47,165 --> 01:48:49,065
how they did the basic structures.

01:48:49,985 --> 01:48:51,905
I also wanna compliment you on the fact

01:48:51,905 --> 01:48:53,545
that you use subtitles in this.

01:48:53,605 --> 01:48:54,625
The Germans are German.

01:48:54,685 --> 01:48:58,545
The, they're speaking German Leone's, uh, character is, is

01:48:58,965 --> 01:49:02,745
so real as a key person for this group, uh,

01:49:02,965 --> 01:49:06,465
of television professionals that she has to really interpret

01:49:06,605 --> 01:49:09,265
so much for them 'cause they don't speak the language.

01:49:09,705 --> 01:49:11,505
I thought that was interesting, that choice.

01:49:11,945 --> 01:49:13,625
'cause so many movies in the past, you know,

01:49:13,625 --> 01:49:16,345
they all speak English or something and it wouldn't work.

01:49:16,525 --> 01:49:17,985
But the way this was done, was

01:49:17,985 --> 01:49:20,145
that always the way it was gonna be more, it's, uh,

01:49:20,165 --> 01:49:21,465
the way you approach this?

01:49:22,055 --> 01:49:25,225
Yeah, I think that was a crucial thing that day that they,

01:49:25,325 --> 01:49:28,185
uh, like, I mean the, the, the character of, uh,

01:49:28,185 --> 01:49:31,545
Mariani Gipa is based on many characters that they, so, um,

01:49:31,675 --> 01:49:35,865
there were like, um, translators like her that helped out,

01:49:35,865 --> 01:49:39,025
but there, there, I think the a, BC crew crew,

01:49:39,215 --> 01:49:42,185
they grabbed almost every German they could grab that day.

01:49:42,185 --> 01:49:44,945
They even grabbed like, uh, Ish's driver to,

01:49:44,965 --> 01:49:47,185
to do some translations or getting the info.

01:49:47,245 --> 01:49:50,465
So she's like a combination of all the, those characters,

01:49:50,465 --> 01:49:51,985
because it's about information.

01:49:52,095 --> 01:49:54,825
It's about getting something done that was never done

01:49:54,825 --> 01:49:56,105
before while doing it.

01:49:56,365 --> 01:50:01,065
And, um, I think that that was like a very interesting part,

01:50:01,445 --> 01:50:05,065
or a very interesting aspect that we told in her character.

01:50:05,085 --> 01:50:07,545
And the other interesting aspect we really wanted

01:50:07,565 --> 01:50:09,865
to show is this, this high hope

01:50:09,865 --> 01:50:13,705
of a new generation in Germany that puts so much hope in

01:50:13,705 --> 01:50:15,865
that new serene games and that image.

01:50:16,045 --> 01:50:19,505
And we're so eager, like Tim said, to show a new,

01:50:20,185 --> 01:50:22,345
a new liberal phase of Germany to the world.

01:50:22,365 --> 01:50:25,785
And then seeing that getting, like shattered that day

01:50:25,925 --> 01:50:27,225
and the whole Serene games.

01:50:27,845 --> 01:50:29,785
And we really wanted to tell that as well.

01:50:29,865 --> 01:50:32,505
I kind of channel channeled my parents in,

01:50:32,885 --> 01:50:35,225
in Mariani gi part and, and their generation,

01:50:35,225 --> 01:50:36,785
because I was born in Munich.

01:50:36,785 --> 01:50:41,065
And so yeah, that was, I think, a very complex character,

01:50:41,065 --> 01:50:43,825
but Leoni then brought her to life so

01:50:43,825 --> 01:50:45,865
that she feels like a human being.

01:50:46,535 --> 01:50:48,865
Yeah. And, and this, you being German

01:50:49,045 --> 01:50:50,305
and writing this story

01:50:50,485 --> 01:50:51,905
and everything, it meant a lot to you.

01:50:53,225 --> 01:50:55,355
That meant a, a great deal to me. Yeah.

01:50:55,355 --> 01:50:59,435
Because, because, um, as someone being born in Munich, uh,

01:50:59,435 --> 01:51:02,995
this story was around for like always in, in my family.

01:51:03,215 --> 01:51:06,395
My parents attended the, the games as,

01:51:06,495 --> 01:51:07,675
as just as spectators.

01:51:07,855 --> 01:51:09,915
But, but, uh, yeah, it's, um,

01:51:10,515 --> 01:51:12,875
I think it's a very important story.

01:51:13,095 --> 01:51:15,055
But the, the role

01:51:15,055 --> 01:51:17,735
of the media brings another layer in that story.

01:51:17,795 --> 01:51:20,255
And the interesting thing is that all those questions

01:51:20,285 --> 01:51:24,455
that they ask themselves that day, the journalists are now

01:51:25,195 --> 01:51:27,455
in some way, like questions we all have

01:51:27,455 --> 01:51:29,135
to ask ourselves when we have like a

01:51:29,135 --> 01:51:30,775
smartphone and social media.

01:51:31,355 --> 01:51:34,615
Uh, suddenly it's, it's questions for everybody now.

01:51:35,125 --> 01:51:36,175
Yeah. It, it is.

01:51:36,315 --> 01:51:39,255
And you know, it's getting this, that's what also makes this

01:51:39,255 --> 01:51:42,295
so pertinent the way we are seeing media now

01:51:42,675 --> 01:51:43,895
and misinformation

01:51:44,395 --> 01:51:48,055
and that snap judgment of what you have to tell, uh,

01:51:48,525 --> 01:51:50,815
that goes out, that people are going to believe.

01:51:50,955 --> 01:51:54,175
And it's gotten, it's gone downhill, quite frankly,

01:51:54,475 --> 01:51:56,935
you know, from the standards that we used to see here.

01:51:57,355 --> 01:51:59,895
And, uh, this movie is a, is a lesson

01:52:00,635 --> 01:52:04,735
in showing the importance of that, uh, going, going through.

01:52:04,995 --> 01:52:06,455
And also, I loved Hans Jorg.

01:52:06,495 --> 01:52:09,335
I gotta ask you, all the equipment, everything

01:52:09,335 --> 01:52:13,655
that was recreated here in this thing is authentic as well,

01:52:13,665 --> 01:52:16,135
right down to the editing machines and everything. Yeah,

01:52:16,725 --> 01:52:17,725
Yeah. It, it is

01:52:17,725 --> 01:52:20,375
like our, our production designer, uh,

01:52:20,475 --> 01:52:24,695
Julian Wagner collected every literary, everything Tim can,

01:52:24,835 --> 01:52:27,535
uh, uh, know, knows it better For me, myself,

01:52:27,535 --> 01:52:29,215
it was a travel back in time

01:52:29,215 --> 01:52:32,815
because the, the flatbed editing table you see in the film,

01:52:33,395 --> 01:52:36,175
uh, uh, what was still in,

01:52:36,175 --> 01:52:38,935
in function in the early nineties when I started

01:52:39,035 --> 01:52:40,295
as, as an editor.

01:52:40,595 --> 01:52:44,695
And, and I even cut my first four films on

01:52:44,815 --> 01:52:46,135
a machine like that.

01:52:46,475 --> 01:52:49,175
So I was very familiar with, with the way it,

01:52:49,395 --> 01:52:51,015
it it was working and I,

01:52:51,215 --> 01:52:53,855
I could help the actors a little bit or,

01:52:53,875 --> 01:52:55,215
or what I saw on the footage.

01:52:55,415 --> 01:52:59,695
I, I, uh, I pretty much, uh, knew very well how

01:52:59,695 --> 01:53:03,295
to put it together, uh, that it actually was working.

01:53:04,005 --> 01:53:05,335
That is hilarious. And

01:53:05,335 --> 01:53:07,345
so it's like a nostalgic, uh, editing.

01:53:07,535 --> 01:53:09,025
Yeah. Yeah, it is. Yeah.

01:53:09,425 --> 01:53:12,745
I also, in, in film school, still had to edit my,

01:53:12,805 --> 01:53:14,425
the first film on, on Steam Beck.

01:53:14,765 --> 01:53:17,825
And I wanna add Pete to what you just said about, about

01:53:18,325 --> 01:53:19,865
how our movie might be a lesson.

01:53:19,985 --> 01:53:22,905
I think in a way, our movie is also very much about

01:53:23,525 --> 01:53:26,145
how technology has an influence on the media

01:53:26,725 --> 01:53:28,505
and what we are experienced right now.

01:53:28,525 --> 01:53:31,065
We don't even know now. Everything is getting fast.

01:53:31,065 --> 01:53:33,705
And as you said, every everyone has a, a TV

01:53:33,845 --> 01:53:35,025
and a camera in their pocket,

01:53:35,085 --> 01:53:37,145
and we don't even know yet what that means.

01:53:37,525 --> 01:53:39,195
And we wanted to show

01:53:39,215 --> 01:53:41,795
how back then also technology had an influence

01:53:42,135 --> 01:53:45,755
and on, on how a world event was perceived.

01:53:45,975 --> 01:53:48,795
Mm-hmm. And it's, it's all also like, like a,

01:53:49,075 --> 01:53:51,515
a structural element of, of the story.

01:53:51,585 --> 01:53:54,155
Like the, the fact that they, they are waiting

01:53:54,495 --> 01:53:55,675
for the pictures.

01:53:56,135 --> 01:53:58,395
And we, we have so much talking about the events

01:53:58,455 --> 01:54:02,035
before they are actually be able, uh, are able

01:54:02,095 --> 01:54:05,755
to show the first, uh, 16 millimeter footage

01:54:05,755 --> 01:54:09,595
because that has, has to be brought into the studio.

01:54:09,735 --> 01:54:10,955
It has to be developed.

01:54:11,135 --> 01:54:12,595
Uh, uh, and, and,

01:54:12,615 --> 01:54:16,795
and then they, they were able to, to, uh, show it.

01:54:16,855 --> 01:54:20,035
And, and we use that as a, a structural element,

01:54:20,455 --> 01:54:21,555
uh, to the film.

01:54:21,575 --> 01:54:25,675
And when we, uh, show the, uh, the first image of the Mask,

01:54:25,895 --> 01:54:29,995
man, uh, it's the first time we, we, we show the

01:54:30,595 --> 01:54:34,475
archival footage on in full screen to, to give that impact.

01:54:34,815 --> 01:54:37,835
And it's so loaded, uh, at, at the time, uh,

01:54:37,835 --> 01:54:38,875
of the movie then.

01:54:39,575 --> 01:54:42,595
So. Amazing. Well, thank you so much for, uh,

01:54:42,595 --> 01:54:44,995
sharing the Secrets of the making of September five

01:54:45,415 --> 01:54:48,515
and best of luck as it now opens wide all over the country

01:54:48,585 --> 01:54:50,115
here in the world, uh,

01:54:50,555 --> 01:54:52,075
everyone's getting a chance to see it.

01:54:52,075 --> 01:54:54,115
And we are so happy that we got a chance, uh,

01:54:54,115 --> 01:54:56,755
tonight on the Deadline Virtual screening series.

01:54:56,755 --> 01:54:58,355

01:54:58,355 --> 01:54:59,355
