Première partie (2010)

Edgar Ramírez: Ilich Ramírez Sánchez 'Carlos'

Quotes 

• Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : The occupation of the OPEC headquarters and the taking hostage of the ministers will be just the secondary objective of the whole operation. Things will get really serious after we take off from Vienna. We will release each minister in his respective country after reading a pro-Palestinian statement.

  Wilfred Böse 'Boni' : What if one of them refuses?

  Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : He will be executed. And then we will take off to the next capital.

  Hans-Joachim Klein 'Angie' : What if the attack fails? What if the hostages resist?

  Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : Anyone who resists - will be executed. Anyone who doesn't obey our orders immidiately - will be executed. Anyone who panics - will be executed. Even if a member of the commando doesn't obey my orders or doesn't follow the instructions outlined in advance - he will be executed.

  Hans-Joachim Klein 'Angie' : OK. But I'm not a killer. And I don't intend to become one.

  Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : Aren't you a soldier? A political militant? We're talking about the minimum military requirement of any political struggle.

  [pause] 

  Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : So, it's clear.

  Hans-Joachim Klein 'Angie' : Yes. Yes.

  Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : We'll have to be ready by December 19th or 20th.

  Hans-Joachim Klein 'Angie' : The 20th is my birthday.

  Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : Is it?

• Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : Weapons are an extension of my body. Like my arms. I learned that at training camp in the Bekaa Plain. I also learned that to kill, you have to act fast and aim straight at the nose.

• Michel Moukharbel : We'll work together. You in London, me in Paris. Tell me nothing. No address, no number. Choose a contact you trust, who can serve as a mailbox.

  [gives him a gun] 

  Michel Moukharbel : Can you use one?

  Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : I'm used to more serious weapons.

  Michel Moukharbel : This is all I can offer.

  [gives him some bullets] 

  Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, aka 'Carlos' : Five? That's all?
