...plus one helicopter and
another moored at the battery.

:26:04
Direct telex... to Interpol Paris
and all of Western Europe.

:26:09
Computer banks which
give total information.

:26:13
Retrieval on every known
terrorist in the world.

:26:20
Some of you may wonder
why you have been selected.

:26:22
Simply because of your unique qualities,
field record, courage, etc, etc.

:26:29

Air France passenger

:27:38
Department policy, reluctance to fire,
police-public relations...

:27:42
...human rights, civil rights...
:27:44
...safety orientation, necessary
when dealing with civilians...

:27:48
...but catastrophic with terrorists.
:27:50

- The most important rule is...

:27:55
...hesitation kills.
:27:57
Hesitation must be removed
from the policeman.
