00:00.
00:02Mr. Secretary?
00:03You are to open a humanitarian corridor to the Third Army, Golda.
00:07We cannot allow 30,000 men to die of thirst.
00:10We'll send them water when we've got our prisoners back.
00:15I will try to arrange...
00:16And Sadat agrees to direct talks with Israel.
00:21Not the Zionist entity.
00:25Israel.
00:26That would be tantamount to recognition.
00:29Yes.
00:29He will never agree to that.
00:31The Arab world would turn against him.
00:33If he doesn't, I will order my planes to attack.
00:37All those men will die.
00:40All of them.
00:41The destruction of the Third Army would force Sadat from power.
00:44He'd be hanged in Tahrir Square.
00:47Well, that thought should focus his mind.
00:50And he would be replaced by a Soviet hardliner.
00:52You know this as well as I do.
00:54You mean a madman bent on the destruction of Israel?
00:57The Russians are on high alert.
01:00They are preparing 11 airborne divisions.
01:02Do you understand?
01:03Do you think I don't know that?
01:05Let me tell you about the Russians, Henry.
01:09When I was a child in Ukraine, at Christmas time,
01:12my father would board up the windows of our house.
01:16Golda.
01:16To protect us from Cossacks who would get drunk and attack Jews.
01:22They would beat Jews to death in the street for fun.
01:26My father would hide us in the cellar.
01:29And we'd stay silent, hoping the killers would pass us by.
01:37My father's face, Henry.
01:40I will never forget that look.
01:42All he wanted was to protect his children.
01:47I am not that little girl hiding in the cellar.
01:51I am not that little girl hiding in the cellar.
01:51So let me tell you how.
