Kleinmachnow, East Germany.

Have some apple.

From Uncle Thomas?

You can both eat as much as you want.

Wait.

Are you getting divorced?

What? No, of course not.

I'm happy we're all together.

Shall we play a game?

Hide and seek?

Yes!

You need to hide really well. As if your lives depended on it!

Weirdos.

You're it, Papa!

I'm starting!

Coming, ready or not!

Gotcha!

Can I watch TV? Love Boat is about to start.

You don't need to watch that junk.

Mama.

Come now.

Let's find your sister.

Over here.

Sandra?

Where else could she be?

No idea.

Sandra?

Sandra?

Sandra?

Sandra?

Sandra?

Sandra, it's not funny anymore!

Sandra, not funny!

Oh, Sandra.

I win!

Come out.

Are you sad because I won?

No. I'm proud.

You hid so well.

East Berlin, East Germany.

Valdez.

Get dressed and meet me in the office. Now!

Yes, sir.

What's wrong? Where are you going?

I'll be back before breakfast.

At 7:00 this evening Eastern time,

air and navel forces of the United States

launched a series of strikes against HQs, terrorist facilities and military assets

that support Muammar al-Gaddafi's subversive activities.

U.S. Mission to East Germany, East Berlin.

On April 5th in West Berlin,

a terrorist bomb exploded in a nightclub frequented by American servicemen.

Sergeant Kenneth Ford and a young Turkish woman were killed

and 230 others were wounded,

among them some 50 American military personnel.

The evidence is now conclusive

that the terrorist bombing was planned and executed

under the direct orders of the Libyan regime.

East German Foreign Intelligence Service HQ, East Berlin, East Germany.

Orders were sent from Tripoli to the Libyan People's Bureau in East Berlin

to conduct a terrorist attack against Americans...

to cause maximum and indiscriminate casualties.

Reagan got that from the telex I showed you.

...on April 4. the People's Bureau alerted Tripoli

that the attack would be carried out the following morning.

The next day, they reported back to Tripoli on the success of their mission.

Our evidence is direct, it is precise, it is irrefutable.

To our friends and allies in Europe who cooperated in today's mission,

I would only say

you have the permanent gratitude of the American people.

It must be the core of Western policy that there be no sanctuary for terror.

We're driving in the VW bus?

- Just this once. - Awesome!

What about Frieda?

Frieda's asleep.

Come on.

But she always comes with us.

No. Not today.

Kleinmachnow, East Germany.

Come, Frieda. Out.

Oh.

Sorry, I didn't want to disturb you.

It's fine.

Coffee?

Thank you.

Say, what kind of dog is that?

A foster dog. She comes over, so I'm less alone.

Well, you're not alone now.

You can't replace Martin.

Yes. You're right.

Oh, the news!

Come on, have some coffee.

Thanks. You don't want any?

No.

I can't drink that stuff.

...has caused disgust, horror and indignation.

Last night's bombing of Tripoli and Benghazi by the American aggressors

caused considerable damage.

The people suffered heavy losses.

Thirty-three US warplanes at bases in the UK,

including F-111 bombers

and bombers of the Coral Sea and America aircraft carriers,

attacked the Libyan capital in several waves.

Civilian homes are in ruins.

So far, more than 70 people have been killed.

Seventy killed?

How is this fair retaliation for two dead soldiers?

I don't think they've invented a machine to calculate fair retaliation yet.

Reagan wanted to send a message. It couldn't be any clearer.

Oh, it's all just show!

He's an actor. He's trying to create credibility with brutality.

Hm, that sounds familiar, somehow.

What's that supposed to mean?

Hm?

What are you saying?

That I treat you brutally?

No!

You're sweet as can be.

All evening you tell me about Mozambique, about South Africa,

about the problems of the ANC.

But I can't stand it.

I can't stand that...

of all people, you're the one who showed up here.

While for three years now, nobody has told me where my son is.

Or whether he's alive at all.

Where is Martin?

I don't know.

The extent of the destruction

caused by American bombing was apparent at dawn.

Tripoli's citizens took to the streets of the North African city

to carry out their protest.

The US government confirmed that military bases and terrorist...

This was a bloodbath! We have to get out in the streets.

West Berlin, West Germany.

We have to protest at the American Embassy.

Not me.

Not today.

Have you heard from Marianne?

Well, I...

I don't know all the details, but...

Christoph's reconfigured her van

to make room for the four of them to hide inside.

Assuming all goes well,

they'll cross the border at Staaken this afternoon.

I'm going to drive out and pick them up.

I'll borrow Tischbier's car.

- Tischbier? - Tobias Tischbier.

Member of Parliament for the Alternative Party.

Well, and my only friend who owns a car.

Can you do the radio show for me today?

Assuming I'm not too busy burning down the American Embassy? Sure.

Thanks.

- Two o'clock, okay? - Uh-huh.

The tapes are on the stereo.

Yes, I know.

You'll have to find another place to stay.

Sorry, but with my sister and her family

we don't have enough room.

I can keep you company today.

It's safe for you out there?

Yes.

Recently, a personal conflict has developed between Gaddafi and Reagan.

This could cause a political firestorm in the Middle East.

West Berlin, West Germany

Alex.

This is Barbara. Tim's mother.

- She's just come in from Michigan. - Hello. Nice to meet you.

You're the medical student, aren't you?

You've been a very good friend to Tim, he told me all about you.

He did?

It means so much that Tim had good friends here in Berlin.

And such a loyal girlfriend, of course.

I'll make sure you have our address and I promise to forward all your letters.

Where are you taking him?

We're having him transferred to the medical facilities at Ramstein today.

- We want him to have the best care. - But he's still in critical condition.

The doctors say his internal organs are healing nicely.

I'll feel better when he's in American hands.

- And then? - We're bringing him home.

To the US.

When he's ready.

I know you can hear me in there.

Don't let anyone steal your courage
